#( ahhhhh so yes fluff and angst my favorite )

[landograndprix]

overcaffeinated anon here with her longass opinion piece on mini me, mini you🙋🏻‍♀️

so because I feel like it's been so long since I started it and I want to get all the feelings back I will be rereading it and adding my thought onto every part

Part 1: Lando saying 'get off your phone or I'll send you back home' -bestie the foreshadowing 😐 part 2: when y/n is telling her bff 'that's the man you're marrying next year..' - her bestie really wants them to break up 🫠 Lando saying 'you piss me off when you say that, stop thinking the boys are more important than you, they're not' -> hun if you leave four days early when you're having a hard time with your girlfriend, she will think that part 3: ahhhh the good old miscommunication trope mixed with the bestie not knowing when to stick to her best friend. rereading the text messages between yn and her bestie actually hurts (but hun you hit every note to make it angsty) bestie saying 'I asked you bcs I knew I wasn't gonna hear the truth from yn what kind of answer is this' actually is maddening Charles is flirting with her but girlie is staying respectful (I'm kinda split on how I want this to end sooooo excited to read both parts) part 4: bestie being a snitch (truly sick because I could never do that to my best friend- that girl is my sister) Lando and yn's text convo was truly heartwarming aaaaand Charles and yn talking about kids made me tear up a bit and her then posting him AND LANDO TELLING HER TO SHUT UP LIKE YES TELL HER OFF MAN part 5: the fact that they got a dog is kind of cute and solves her feeling lonely when Lando is away, but it isn't a bandaid to the whole baby-situation the only way I'd say 'a thing or two' to my bestie is like this 'bestie I love you and I may be overstepping but I feel like if I don't say this I'm disrespecting our friendship….' part 6: ahhh the england thing aaaaand he threw her out - ouch but I kind of understand where he is coming from part 7: ahhh the break up aaaaand Charles being nervous is cute part 8: (i think this is where I stopped and now everything is new to me) ahhhhh Landoooo you can't say that - hindsight is 20/20 and the bestie coming through at the end

Part 9- Lando's part: AHHHHHH I DON'T THINK I CAN CHOOSE HIM OVER YOU I AM SCREAMING THIS IS SO CUTE AHHH SHE IS PREGNANT THIS IS SO CUTE I AM TEARING UP 😭😍😍

Part 9- Charles' part: awwww Joris is mad as well 😂 I love Charles the pregnancy tests 😭 but CHARLES IS SO CUTE FOR BEING SO INSISTENT ON GOING TO THE DOCTOR WITH HER AND LANDO CONGRATULATING THEM AND THEY ARE HAVING A BABYGIRL 😍😍😍

Applause to you for coming up with that story it's so good and you did really well with all the angst, and fluff and the potential love triangle 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

ugh thank you for this, this made my night 😭 also;

Lando saying 'get off your phone or I'll send you back home' -bestie the foreshadowing 😐

bestie, you don't know how surprised I am by my own foreshadowing because I am in fact never foreshadowing anything considering I never know what's happening next, I barely even know what happened in the first part when I got to chapter 3 so.. 😭

'I don't think I can choose him over you' will forever be my favorite line in this story along with the "I'm freezing my tits off" "please don't, I love those two." Conversation between the gremlins 🥰

Thanks again for this, you're the best! <3

fanfic trope opinions 

idk I felt like doing a spray their list thing of fanfic tropes and going into depth abt why

first up, tropes I hate:

-anything illegal/non-consensual. — consent is sexy

-arranged marriage / fake dating, stuff like that — not my thing

-pregnancy or baby fics — also just not my thing tbh

-slow burn — i do not have the patience for this shit I’m sorry 😭

depends on execution / fandom:

-au’s — sometimes they’re fun

-smut — again, if all characters involved are consenting adults then there’s not really a problem

-major character death — really depends, I don’t like this for fics where it happens early on and the plot is based around it. oneshots though? yes. also, if the character then becomes a ghost and that’s what the plot is based around, yes.

-love triangle — tbh I hate this but title could be good in a crack oneshot,, kinda like that one camp camp episode

-unhappy ending — again, oneshots. really angsty hurt/no comfort oneshots. reading a long story for an unhappy ending at the end isn’t satisfying, but if it’s a oneshot and ik what I’m getting into then hell yeah

-time loop — depends on fandom, and idk honestly

-first kiss — can be cute sometimes but also rushed and forced in some cases

stuff I like:

-friends to lovers — bonus points if everyone except the ones being shipped knows they like eachother

-fluff — it’s cute. i used to like this a lot more but recently I’ve been leaning towards angst more

-crackfic — these are fun tbh, especially if paired w a gc,, I love crack gcs 😍😍

-sickfic — hehehe they’re nice sometimes

MY BELOVED TROPES 😍🥰

-drunken confessions!! — I love it for adult characters… this is my favorite thing in my big h2g2 moment omg 🥰😍

-angst — oohoohohohohhoho yes. i love seeing a fictional character and going “omg they deserve so much better I would literally die for them we must protect them at all costs” and then torturing them in my fics

-hurt/comfort!! — AHHHHH MY BELOVED I LOVE THIS LMAO

(guys blue from heathers the musical just started playing. help. why is this in my playlist.)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST MY BELOVED

-rivals to lovers — i don’t think anybody is surprised abt this one?? was.. was it not obvious how much I love this one, like.. n e r r i s o n 😍

thank you for coming to my Ted talk guys

[pantherxrogers]

"woo, i really don't have time for this," you groan into the phone. you're still trying decide between what heels you want to wear for the night, but his familiar voice is ringing in your ear.

"you kinda do. he left here like a minute ago."

"he's already on the way?!" you screech, prompting wooyoung to straight up laugh at you.

“yeah, and i know he’s speeding. this is the fastest he’s ever dropped jun off,” he snickers. you hear your son's loud giggle in the background, followed by the sound of wooyoung's cackle.

"put me on speaker," you coo, wanting to talk to your baby. you hear wooyoung sigh, pretending to be annoyed with your antics.

"hi june bug! are you having fun, baby?"

"yes omma! we're watching oppa perform!" he shouts, clearly on a sugar high. you clear your throat, waiting for an explanation from wooyoung.

"he's totally exaggerating! we watched one ateez performance. i was actually trying to show myself, but he's all about oppa," he groans, another loud giggle coming from jun. you can''t help but laugh along.

"i'll talk to you later, bubble! have fun! i love you!"

"love you, omma!"

"love you, unnie!"

you snort, mumbling a goodbye to wooyoung. hanging up the phone, you bring your attention to the mirror. okay, san is going to choke when he sees you.

you're wearing a satin dress, the fabric clinging to your curves like a greek statue. you just got a blowout, hair falling is soft waves down your back. deciding to keep you makeup light yet sultry, you did a smokey eye and a bold lip color. one of san's favorites. but, that's a coincidence of course.

spritzing your perfume, you admire yourself again in the mirror. all that's left now are shoes. you're stalling because you know which shoes will be perfect for this outfit, but you don't want to bring yourself to admit it.

you make your way to the back of your closet, more like another bedroom, scanning your shoe racks. the black patent leather winks at you, calling out your name. a memory flashes through your mind. it was your first birthday with san, all those years ago. he bought you the louboutin's that you'd been eyeing for the past week. you smile to yourself, picking them up and sliding into them with ease.

just as start to grab your clutch for the night, the doorbell rings. you can feel your heart beating in your ears. taking a deep breath, giving yourself a once over, you step out of the bedroom. the walk towards the front door feels like a mile, but you miss this feeling. it reminds you of the early days of your relationship, waiting on san to pick you up with bated breath.

before san can ring the doorbell again, you're swinging the door open. and damn. it's going to be a long dinner.

the first thing you notice is his cologne. it's one you bought him last Christmas. it's a strong, woody scent, and you're ashamed to recognize the arousal pooling in between your thighs. he's wearing his hair slicked back again. the style does wonder for his facial features, making him look more intimidating than usual. well, not to you, of course.

the crisp, white button down stretches across his broad shoulders, neatly tucking into his black trousers. the top buttons are undone, giving you a hint of his collarbones. you feel like a pervert, ogling him right in front of his face. but, he doesn't notice. he's too busy ogling you.

"you look stunning, honey." he sounds like he's in a daze. it's almost comical. his eyes scan your face and body in such quick succession, almost like he doesn't know where to focus on. you notice the way his eyes linger on your heels, a fond smile on his face.

"thank you, san," you hum, ducking your head in shyness. "i'll be back. i just need to set the alarm."

"leave your clutch while you're at it. you know you won't be needing it." the dominance in his voice makes your heart flutter. but you won't give in that easily.

"san, i'm not leaving it."

"well, take your wallet out then."

"who said i brought it?" your sass catches him off guard. he's missed it. his little smirk is the last thing you see before heading towards the alarm.

the ride to the restaurant is quiet but not awkward. the radio plays in the background while san hums along. you find yourself humming with him. you feel your cheeks warm when he glances over at you.

"i've missed hearing that," he confesses, toying with the smooth leather of the center console. you fight the urge to reach out and touch his hand. you're not sure why but you do.

"san, i thought we weren't going to argue tonight."

"i'm not trying to argue, i swear. just wanted you to know how much i've missed you. i'm sorry," he answers. you can't stay mad at him. after all, he was just being honest. which is more than you can say for yourself. you've missed him so much but saying it out loud makes you feel weak.

instead, you settle your hand over his. he has to bite his lip to stop the shit-eating grin. he fails anyway, bringing your hand up to press a kiss on the back of it. something about it feels so intimate. you have to look away, afraid he'll be able to read the desire on your face.

dinner was a success. you feel full and happy, but you’re still wide awake on the car. sadness creeps over you as he drives you home. truth be told, you had an amazing time tonight and don't want it to end.

"hey?" he gentle nudges your thigh, "you okay, honey?" his voice is warm and smooth, making your heart skip a beat.

"yeah, 'm fine," you answer, glancing over at him. he looks relaxed and comfortable behind the wheel. all of this feels so right. there's a part of you that wants it back. you don't even realize you're still staring at him until san clears his throat.

"just thinking about junebug." your lie is obvious to the both of you, but san doesn't call you out. instead, he reaches for your hand, gently holding it in his own. you have to bit your lip to stop the growing grin on your face.

sooner than you'd like, he pulls up to your long driveway. "i had an amazing time tonight." his eyes are so earnest that it almost makes you want to cry.

"so did i."

it's all you can say right now, finding it difficult to work through all the emotion swirling around in your chest. he places another kiss to the back of your hand, then opens his door. you chuckle under your breath, amused by his hurried footsteps coming towards the passenger door.

both of your drag your feet to the front door, clearly not wanting the night to end. when you finally reach it, you slow around, fumbling for the key inside your small clutch.

"hold on, i got it." he reaches for his keys, quickly finding his key to your home. "thank you." he hums his response, smoothly unlocking the door.

"thanks for inviting me out," you linger in the doorway, unable to tear yourself away from him.

"thanks for coming with me, angel. you made my birthday special."

you drop your head, suddenly feeling shy under his gaze. he's staring at you with so much love in his eyes. you're sure that he can see the same in yours.

"i really want to kiss you right now." it's blunt and almost whiny, prompting a giggle from you. san can't help but join in on your laughter, happy to see that beautiful smile on your face.

"well," you breathe through giggles, "it is your birthday." san's heart skips a beat, almost unable to believe his ears. as soon as the shock leaves his system, his lips are on yours.

it's gentle and sweet, reminding you of when you first started dating all those years ago. you can hear your heart beating in your ears, giddiness over taking your sense. he gently places a hand on your waist, kissing back with fervor.

out of reflex, you bring your arms around his neck, leaning against his firm body. every thought in your mind is consumed by him, your bodies melting into one. you feel yourself falling under his spell, familiar arousal warming the pit of your tummy.

"s-san, wait." he's off you in an instant, pulling away to meet your eyes. "i'm sorry, i got a little carried away."

"no, it's fine. so did i," you chuckle, fixing your outfit.

there's still tension in the air, both of you waiting for the other to make the next move.

"guess i should go check on junebug," he murmurs, a soft smile on his face. the both of you smile at the mention of your son. still, you feel sadness at the thought of the night ending.

"it's kinda late. don't you think he'll be asleep?"

now san is certain his heart stopped for good. are you saying what he thinks you're saying?

"yeah, he might be," he blurts out, a sudden blush forming on his cheeks. he feels like a teenager staying the night at a girl's house for the first time.

"maybe you can call woo and tell him you'll be back in the morning?"

"y-yeah! for sure!"

you giggle at his excitement, stepping aside to let him in the front door. san thinks this might be his best birthday yet.

[reaperintheroses]

hi! would love to see any phoenix x reader content tbh. fluff, angst, smut. do whatever you like <3

AHHHHH! She was literally one of my favorite characters I just related to her so so much. Also she was definitely gay. Here's a little headcanon for you! You work at the Hard Deck and fall for Phoenix but you're scared to ask her out because you don't know if she's gay. Fem!reader

-Okay so basically -when Phoenix first walks into that bar it almost feels like you can’t breathe -it’s like a gay awakening all over -you had a very strict rule against dating fighter pilots that was drilled into your head by Penny -you completely forgot about that rule though as she walked up to your bar and ordered three bud lights for herself and her friends. -Whew buddy you were sold from that point forward -You laughed along with her (and the rest of the bar) as Maverick got thrown out of the bar and sang under your breath as Rooster played on the piano. -You hoped you would see her again as your night came to a close -She was at your bar so much more than you anticipated

-everytime you poured her a beer your heart grew -then you would turn around and see her laughing with Hangman or hugging on Rooster and completely abandoning your thought process. -this went on for several weeks until that fateful day -Maverick asked Penny if they could use the small sliver of beach that the bar owned to play something called “Dogfight football.” When she simply raised her eyes at the request he also mentioned buying half a keg worth of beer for his team and she was sold. -Penny knew about your crush and specifically requested that you work on cleaning up the unused outside deck -penny is the real wingman tbh -You were sitting at the table watching the team play -you tried to keep your eyes on the ball but they kept drifting to Phoenix -You heard a loud whistle shrill and you snapped back to focus as Phoenix walked towards you -You blinked to clear out the haze from your eyes and you smiled softly at her about to get up and go get her a glass of Bud when she wiped some sweat from her brow, her abs contracting as she did so -You felt your mouth go dry -”Hey, random question,” -You blinked a few times, giving your brain some time to catch up to what she was saying -”Sure what's up?” -”Do you want to go on a date with me?” -exCUSE YOU -You stuttered for a moment because up until two seconds ago you didn’t even know if she was into women, let alone you -She raised her eyebrow as you finally blurted out a “Yes! Yes, that sounds amazing!” -She nodded and put her number into your phone, texting herself before telling you that she’d text you at the end of the day to get plans for this week. -She walked away leaving you dumbfounded -So you now had a date

DARKE!!!

i’ve been meaning to ask this for so long but i always forget but NOWWWW I REMEMBER

out of all the chapters you have written, which ones are your favorite?! like id say top 5

the reason i’m asking is because i’ve been thinking about my favorite chapters (now don’t get me wrong they’re all FIRE) but these are the ones i find myself rereading the most (in no particular order)

1.) Chapter 62: Frankenstein’s Monster

2.) Chapter 65: It’s Been a Long, Long Time

3.) Chapter 36: Anonymous Avenger

4.) Chapter 39: Zero Dark Thirty

5.) Chapter 57 Killer Instinct

(coming up with this list was HARDDD BECAUSE THERES SO MANY GOOD ONES)

Ahhhhh Vallll!!!

This is such a hard question. It's like trying to pick your fave child or something...

That being said...

5 - Occluded Front

This one was so much fun to write. The back and forth between Ghost and the Soldier, the fact that the Soldier has been watching her in the back of Bucky's mind....oooofffff *chef's kiss* this is the chapter that really set us up on the path back to Aftermath and Bucky on his path back to the Avengers and, of course, it sets us up to meet the one and only, Wraith.

4 - Zero Dark Thirty

The angst. The first kiss. The drama. The deal with the devil herself. Need I say more?

3 - Shadow Boxing

Wraith makes his big, bold entrance in this bad boi. Plus! We bring not only Aftermath and the Avengers together, we meet Bucky in Prague and he gets to meet Ghost again. This is one of the chapters where it was supposed to be combined with the chapter before it but Wraith took the reins and became rather nefarious. Which was so, so fun.

2 - Wargames

Yes, this chapter is Duke/Boone centered, but it was the one that cemented with me the fact I was going to write The Soldier and The Spy. Watching them work together in that chapter and knowing that they had a past together really inspired me to write season one. And season one turned into season two. And now season two is turning into season three. Without this chapter, and y'all's support, of course, TS&TS probably wouldn't have been a thing.

1 - Little Red Book

The big bad bean itself. This chapter took a lot out of me at 20k words but it was so, so much fun to write. Again, we got the Avengers and Aftermath working together. We got Bucky and Ghost working together...we get Bucky actually getting the help that he needs...And, most importantly. We get Ghost and Bucky's first 'I love you.'

Another big thing about this chapter is that it gave me my official chance to pull away from the MCU and enter into the BS:U entirely.

Gahdamn, this was hard. And I'm now realizing that, as much as I love the fluff I've been writing recently, I really miss fight scenes bc I love going back and reading them.

Tell me what y'all think! I'd love to hear what your faves are!!!

What's your fave TS&TS chapter? Who's your fave out of Alpha 2? Did you like S1 or S2 better?

What's your fave BS:A Flashback chapter? And why?

What about a fave moment or chapter from The Red Room?

[washymylifeaway]

Haikyuu fanfic recs but it’s just more of my faves pt 2 LOL

Hiya loves! My other fic rec (linked here) did well enough that I decided to make a pt 2 :D Here are some more of my faves that I didn’t get to recommend last time!!!! Again the rules are the same, two per ship and no cp (but of course I AM SUFFERING UGH) :’(((

As always, pls check WARNINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES for fics before reading and make sure you’re taking care of yourselves (since mental health is key!) Stay healthy loves <3

IwaOi (I made a top ten linked here):

darlin', your head's not right by aruariandance (T) 13.6k // AJKFFJA THIS ONE!!!! I really love this one and unconfident Oikawa is THE MOVE. I really liked the portrayal of Oikawa in this one, it’s done SO WELL :D Everything about this fic is amazing and the ending was SO CUTE,,, I love recursive endings!!!!!

nevermind (but i mind) by seabear (M) 9.9k // TELEPATHY. Okay prefacing this with the fact that there is SMUT in this, so be careful as you read! But the communication in this one? Nonexistent. And like Iwa’s mom? The mfing mvp. It’s a great fic and the ending was FLUFF.

KuroKen:

Addiction and Attachment by eevaeon (T) 41.8k // I’VE BEEN WAITING TO REC THIS OMG. You want a Kenma taking care of Kuroo? HERE IT IS :DDDD The feels in this one are high and it’s just SO GOOD. And they’re so cute the fluff is just so fluffy in this :D

Step by Step by dgalerab (M) 14.7k // inclusivity!!! I really like this one and it’s another where Kuroo gets kinda comforted by Kenma and Kuroo’s a bit desperate in this as well LOL. Also some BokuAka plot and poor Akaashi with the shirt omg. There’s some homophobia and smut so be careful as you read! 

BokuAka:

In the Absence of Light by meeks00 (E) 50.7k // WITCHES AND WITCH HUNTERS LETS GOOOOO. I really love this one because 1. Akaashi and Kenma’s friendship is one of my favorite hc! And 2. because of MAGIC AHHH! It’s a whole mess, but it’s such a good fic omg. CHECK TAGS AND WARNINGS cause fighting and SMUT!

Karma by dgalerab (T) 9k // PETTY AKAASHI? Sign me up. But no really, I love how Akaashi is in this fic and I think he’s characterized SO well! Also I too would get distracted as Bokuto does yoga with me ahaha. Anyway, I love the dynamics between everyone in this fic and it’s CUTE.

DaiSuga:

butterfly in the subway by bigspoonnoya (T) 62.8k // please, I’ve said other fics are a big mess BUT this one might just take the cake. It’s a mixture of ships with DaiSuga being the main one, so read it even if you don’t love DaiSuga (and then you’ll love them LOL). It’s like everything that could go wrong, goes wrong but the AsaNoya in this was SO cute!

you can only take what you can carry by skittidyne (T) 4.2k // Suga is strong. That’s it. That’s literally the whole fic LMAO. But no seriously, I wish I could’ve been there in person to ogle at the muscles cause like think about it. ANyway, Yachi is best. (if this made no sense, go read the fic LOL)

KyouHaba:

if not, winter by knightswatch (M) 54k // YES THIS FIC. THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. I love the development of their relationship,,, IT’S SO GOOD. Like when our boy Yahaba goes on that really friendly field trip and Kyoutani takes matters into his own hands? UGH YES. And when they visit? CUTE OMG. Yes this fic is it.

Isolated Parts by darkmagicalgirl (T) 3.3k // I love this fic cause old men KyouHaba are funny (fight those refs) and I love the nonlinear plot. It really adds another layer to the fic itself, and slowly unraveling the plot through the different years was SO IUAHFJF. I really loved it and piecing everything together :’)

MatsuHana:

Magical Mishaps and How to Deal by plumtrees (M) 10.9k // I lost this fic once and I searched for it FOR THE LONGEST TIME. But that’s cause I wanted to reread this masterpiece. IT’S SO FUNNY AND CUTE AND DOMESTIC AND UGH. Also the small angst made me SO SAD. But the ENDING? THE KISSES AHHHHHHH. (I’m yelling a lot BUT that’s cause I really love this fic <3333)

hang out fall in love by carafin (T) 8.6k // I love the Makki hates Mattsun initially but then falls for the irresistible charm he posses trope. It might be my favorite trope for MatsuHana specifically LOL. Like I really love this fic and it has MAGIC. It’s like a magical version of the VA one LOL. But like no radio shows or reunited best friends in this one :(

SakuAtsu:

the 28 postcards you left me by wheelspokes (T) 8.3k // Okay the whole concept of this fic made me laugh ngl. Like I hate exes to lovers but this concept made me read it and I don’t regret it. I felt Atsumu’s panic when he sent the first one and then later LOL. I loved Omi’s side too OMG, also there’s a timeline at the end :D

the home we built in hell by awkwardedgeworth (T) 5k // I love this fic. I love the execution of this fic. It’s written so well and the development they go through IS SO GOOD. Like the plot is just AMAZING and I literally cannot express in words how much I adore this fic. PLEASE READ IT! But be mindful of the tags FOR SURE!

SunaOsa:

Even forever is too short of a time with you by miyarinnnn (T) 53.8k // C U T E!!!! I really like this one and the way it went through all the time from the beginning. Technically this is the second fic and you SHOULD read the first one! But I loved seeing the references again and being able to read this from Osamu’s POV. I liked how it went in depth into everything,,, IT’S SO GOOD UGH.

Heart Reign by tookumade (series) 42.3k // ngl, I hate the second fic cause it makes me so angry AHHHHH. JK but seriously, it made me angry. Like my favorite is the last one (for obvious reasons), but every time I reread this series, I skip the second one cause I don’t want to GO THROUGH THE EMOTIONS. AGAIN. Like I hate Chuo now AHHHH. But read this series cause it’s AMAZING and makes me happy. The running and catching was the perfect touch to the end of the first fic and there’s a pov swap (the fourth one!) but I love the reminiscing in the third one too :D (but like I said the fifth one is my favorite!!!) 

(Also cause I can’t help myself, if you want another one I love that I’ve recommended before by tookumade, but not for spring to well up is literally my favorite fic of ALL TIME. Like out of all the fics I’ve read, still will be forever in love with this one ok bye. post where I yell about how much I love this fic linked HERE)

Random:

In Good Faith We Swap Our Aces by WInger (G) 15.1k // what’s a post without a chaotic fic? This is just a meme fic, essentially. It’s so funny and all the aces stories made me laugh like,,,, Yeah it’s literally just a crossover event with the schools and it’s just super lighthearted so I liked it LOL.

morning time! w/ jaehyun+ you being sick

heyyaa! back again with a new writing. hopefully you guys would appreciate and like it though. thanks for reading!  if there’s any mistakes, I’m so sorry! xx - N.

morning time! w/ jaehyun + you being sick (jaehyun x reader)

mode: fluffyyyy fluff, slightly comedy and tiny angst! 

fuck i love him so much 

(before we start, i’m actually terribly sick rn :( and pls listen to paris in the rain by lauv while reading this! it gives me soft fluffy vibes)

“cause anywhere with you feels right, anywhere with you feels like paris in the rain” 

okay so let’s get itttt!! 

so both of you were in his room still sleeping soundly, wrapping each other’s arms around each other’s waists 

sleeping beauties aw

his room filled with you guys’ photos, his favorite LPs standing nicely on the shelf with the classic vinyl player and his speaker that he would use a lot to play your and his favorite playlist whenever you’re together

it’s simple and minimalistic but yet homey. you loved it. 

you usually would be the one that wakes up earlier than jaehyun but well not this time 

you looked at the clock standing behind the bed, oh shit it’s 10AM

your head felt so heavy and your throat feeling so uncomfortable and funny as you were trying to get up 

it was hard for you to get up so you just went back to bed feeling uncomfortable and sick

you looked over jaehyun, he’s still sleeping so comfortably, his pouty rosy lips and red cheeks with some of his dark brown hair covering a lil bit of his forehead and his eyes still shut 

“damn he’s such an art” you thought to yourself as you smiled sheepishly 

you moved to your right side and you felt jaehyun pulling you closer into his arms as he’s nuzzling into your neck 

you moved your head a little bit to look over him as he opened his eyes slowly, “hey babe morninggg” his deep morning voice echoes beautifully in your ear along with his soft smile as he looked at you and his eyes that seems to be made of stars 

your heart felt like it’s about to drop (fuck my heart would too :’))) 

no matter how long you guys have dated, it would always feel like the first time and day you went on a date with him; the nervousness, the tingling sensation, the sparks and everything. 

you replied back to him, “hey good morning sunshine”, your voice sounding hoarse and slightly unclear, starting to concern jaehyun 

he straightaway got up and put his hand on your forehead and neck, feeling them to check how high or low your body temperature feels 

“babyyy, I think you’re sick. your body feels way too warm and your voice concerns me too” he said as he rubs your back gently up and down 

“I don’t knowww, but as I was trying to get up earlier, I just felt so uncomfortable and sick. My throat still feels funny and uncomfortable and my head feels like spinning around” :(( 

he caresses your cheek lovingly with his soft delicate fingers,“let me fix it” and then proceed to leave a short but yet still meaningful and sweet kiss on your lips  

you tried to avoid from him kissing you, “heyy you’re gonna get sick!” but it was too late haha 

he laughs and smooches you all over your face like crazy, “it’s okay as long as we get sick together” 

you tried to act like you’re vomiting after what he just said and chuckled softly 

“I’ll be right back, princess. I’m cooking you something since you’re sick and I’ll get some of the medicines for you from the box outside, yeah?” he said as he got up from the bed and smiled at you 

“but babeeee, don’t leaveeee meee” you said, trying to pull his arms and stopping him from leaving the room

“babyy, but you need to eat and I need  to take care of you” he cooed 

“but take me outside with you too, I’m gonna be bored here all alone” crossing your arms as you sit and cooed back 

he giggles to himself afterwards, “you’re making me crazy, god i must be so in love with you” 

YES IT’S CHEESY BUT IT’S JUNG YOONOH IK YOU LOVE IT 

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH uwu 

you giggled too, opening your arms to jaehyun showing him as a sign to pull you from the bed, “take me with you, my man” 

he pulls your arms gently and carefully as if you’re made of glass so fragile and precious, “alright, my woman” 

he went to the kitchen to start cooking and you went to the living room which facing the apartment’s kitchen 

you rested your back on the couch with your head on the soft grey pillow as you’re trying to find something interesting to watch 

SO YOU GUYS WANNA KNOW WHAT HES COOKIN 

COOKIN COOKIN COOKING TIME 

so he’s cooking some rice for both of you, seaweed soup and some chicken soup with mixed vegetables as well as herbs that’s good for the immune system (you gotta eat healthy ok its good for ur immune system)

while he’s doing his thing cooking at the kitchen, he would look over to check on you and what you’re up to 

 he noticed there wasn’t any blanket on the couch you’re resting on so he went back to his room and got you his fuzzy blanket in case you suddenly got cold 

“hey baby, fevers can cause you to either feel really hot or cold. so, in case if you suddenly feel cold, wrap yourself using this fuzzy blanket, okay?” caressing your hair as he walked over to you to give you the blanket 

you smiled looking at him and nodded, “thank you, love. what are you cooking? It smells so good already I’m hungry dude” 

“I’m cooking...something special for us! It’s a surprise hehe” he grins cutely, like a child (isn’t he cute ugh) 

after he’s done with the cooking, both of you finally got to eat yayyyy 

sitting on the kitchen counter area facing each other, adoring each other’s presence as both of you were enjoying the meals he cooked for you and him 

jaehyun. he’s just so great, so good to be true. he’ll always be the one to pick you up when you’re down, the one to help you out when you’re having a problem whether it’s a big matter or even just a small matter, the one to light you up when everything seems to be dark to you, the one to guide you when you’re lost, the one to get concern about you even if it’s not about something to get/be concern about, the one that only stays when nobody stays with you, the one that falls asleep only after you fell asleep first because he wants to make sure that you’re safe in his arms while you’re sleeping, the one to hold you when everything seems to fall apart, the one to comfort you when you’re upset about your life. he’s your star, your world, your everything. he’s your home. 

and, 

you’re his home, too. 

you’ve always prayed for someone, like, him. :’)

ALLLL MYY LIFEEEE I PRAYED FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOUU AND I THANK GOD THAT I THAT I FINALLY FOUND YOU *sings*

FUCK I’M GETTING SO EMO SHIT 

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT EHEM MOVING ON

I love him with all of my heart 

ok so after you guys have finished eating, cleaning and shit, you went back to the couch with jaehyun behind you 

he put a box which contains all kinds of medicines (his and yours) in it on the table before finding meds for your fever and sore throat 

“here, take your meds and here’s some water so that you would feel better baby” he turned to you as he gave you one of the fever pills and lozenges for your sore throat with a glass of water on the table

you took them from his hand the pills first so that you could proceed to swallow it 

to be honest you’re not really good at swallowing pills bcus you’re afraid and you just dk how so what you usually do is chewing em (don’t judge me)

yes you’d rather take em like you’re eating a normal food instead of swallowing em like how you’re supposed to do 

jaehyun noticed how you’re not swallowing the pills the way it should be done and laughed, “you’re supposed to swallow them, you dumbass” 

after you’re done drinking your water, you hit him lightly and said “heyy, I’m not a dumbass!” 

“yes you are boo” 

“you’re a dumbass too dude” 

“heyyy! since when? I’m a very smart and genius guy plus I’m good at almost everything” he said as he rolled his eyes to you 

“since when? remember when you lost in the very first missions and other mission as well in the nct life in chuncheon and hongcheon?” you pulled your tongue out as you teased him and laughed 

“sshh, do you wanna lose your voice?” him asking you with his arms crossed and his kinda-cute-failed-angry facial expression

“aw, someone’s upset huh” you cooed, before taking one of your sore throat lozenges and put it into your mouth 

 he laughs as he slowly tryin to attack you by tickling you

“yo no stop it omg ahhHHh JAEHYUN-” 

“I can’t hear you i’m gonna tickle you until you lost your voice and can’t talk and tease me anymore” 

you proceed to attack him by tickling him too and the house filled with both of you’s laughter (uwu) 

jaehyun tries to protect and avoid himself from getting tickled by you with the pillows on his hands

when you both are finally done, you both just kinda look at each other, admiring every single details of each other’s faces 

jaehyun climbs over to you on the couch and puts his head on your stomach full of happy smiles 

“you know what, I like me better when I’m with you”, he whispers to you with his arms wrapping around your body tightly

“I like me better when I’m with you too” <3

M/M Recommendations Part V

Title : Jon’s downright ridiculous shooting case ( Jon’s Mysteries )

Author : AJ Sherwood

This book and the series itself is PURE GOLD. It keeps getting better and better and I honestly can’t wait for more installments of this story. So, here we have Jon ( Jonathan Bane ) who works with the police as a human lie detector— using his gift as a Psychic. He can tell a lot about a person because he’s able to see their Aura. He fries any electronics near him, he has to wear sunglasses & he has no Anchor to ground his powers which is always on. Then he meets Donovan Havili who is assigned as his partner/bodyguard and he’s never seen someone as bright as him. They work together on cases and IT’S SO GOOD. I love how Donovan just slides into Jon’s life and makes all those “quirks” feel natural, like it’s not Jon’s fault and it’s okay. His psychic ability is amazing and the Mystery aspect kept me guessing. 👍🏻 This book honestly has everything I want : ✔️ Paranormal ✔️ Protective boyfriends ✔️ Found family ✔️ Explicit scenes that comes from a nice build up ✔️ MUTUAL PINING ✔️ Mystery. Please give this a go. There is also a spin off and that one is A+ too.

Title : Felix and the Prince ( Forever Wilde Series )

Author : Lucy Lennox

Oh boy. If you like a bit of Drama, relationship issues, finding yourself brouhaha & explicit scenes then this series is for you. It’s a guilty pleasure kind of read and I wasn’t able to stop from book 1 down to the last. The books can be read as standalones but it’s much better if you know all the people popping up here and there. This one is my Favorite, Felix & The Prince. All because of the Commoner/Royalty trope that just never fails to fascinate me. So Felix goes to this remote island who is famous for their Stained glass and to study it. Aside from that, he’s really trying to run away from the public as his Mom’s ( who abandoned him ) blockbuster movie is coming up as he hates being in the spotlight. There he meets Lio in one of the secret rooms he accidentally finds and from there, well. 😍😍😍 These characters feel very real and their emotions read well to me as an outsider. I just love the being stuck in that place and both of them having no other choice but to fall in love. Also the whole DRAMA of how they can make it work despite all the issues is a big part of what makes their story better.

Title : Be still my Heart ( Four Kings Kings Security series )

Author : Charlie Cochet

All the books in this series is worth a read, definitely. It’s just that I really loved Laz and Red’s side-relationship from Book 1 and so when they had their own story with Book 2 it was an instant favorite. Red is an ex navy SEAL and now working as a security detail while Laz is a fashion photographer. This book opens with Red off work as he recovers from being shot and seeing Laz doing a shoot. Then someone opens fire, clearly targeting Laz and so the whole story is the two of them in close quarters and coming to terms with their relationship. They are so sweet together! 😭 and the explicit scenes are scorching omg! The mystery part on figuring out who is plotting against Laz was cool too ; I thought it was this guy, but then it’s not until that last moment when the mastermind is revealed. 😳

Title : Breaking Magic

Author : J Brenton Parker

There’s this trope that is very hard to come by in books because of how specific it is. It’s the Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter trope. This books has it all and I couldn’t be happier. You have a magic school, the chosen one and his nemesis & a whole lot of adventure. Adam Wolfe is a ticking bomb. He is the most powerful magician of his time who doesn’t even know how to use it. He can’t use a wand, can’t maintain a spell, and when he does- it results into a catastrophe. When he almost burns down the whole school and has a group of rebels interested him + the threat of his magic being stripped away, here comes someone he never got along with FELIX ROTH. Oooohhh how I love this character. 💜 So he goes to Adam and tells him he can help with controlling his powers but they have to get Merlin’s staff. And the rest of the story is just wonderful. Ugh. Soft boys, magic, adventure & good vs evil all in one book. God. Read this one please. This book needs more love.

Title : To Have It All

Author : Jill Wexler

This book is short & sweet and the right pick for a cozy sunday. Mild angst and so much fluff. This is my first bestfriends to lovers book and this one just nails it. Brett and Jordan have been friends for more than 2 decades, and yes there are times they have looked at each other in a non-platonic way ; but they both shut it down as their friendship is too important. Then Brett’s sister and brother in law dies in a car accident leaving their 4 kids to his care. Jordan helps him take care of the kids and setup himself up with this new life. Everything about this was so sweet! The domesticity and them seeing each other in different light at the right time. Just the inevitability of them being together after all those years as friends left me with all the feels. Ahhhhh~ ❤️

Enjoy! 🥳

Ty’s Top 5 Reviews: TBOYAI

The fic being talked about: The Book Of You And I

You know the drill. I have picked my favorite comments on my fic to respond and share with you guys :) here we go!

#5: @damselindistressanu:  YOU HAD TO BREAK MY HEART DIDNT YOU?!?! &  #still loved this to bits tho #you never fail to amaze me Bub

to be fair... it’s not my fault. But i do apologize for the pain :( I’m so glad you loved it!! thank you so much <3 (i can’t describe the smile on my face from being called Bub wtf)

#4: @meganwinchester1999:  Ahhhhh how could you, Ty?! 😭😭😭😭😭 I knew it wouldn't be long before the angst appeared again and damn did it appear. I can't believe she covered that up like the time they had together meant nothing

You are right... it was only a matter of time lol. This was tough to write in some moments. After such a fluff high, this really breaks my heart. Maybe she covered it up for a reason... maybe we’ll talk about it in part two.

#3: @gigglyirwin:  PLEASE I NEED IT I CANT STOP CRYING #everyone go beg ty for a part 2 & #ashton irwin #fic rec #TY WHAT THE FUCK #I KNOW I REQUESTED THIS SONG FIC #BUT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE SONG EVER AGAIN WITHOUT SOBBING #CHECK YOUR SNAP SO YOU CAN SEE MY FUCKING TEARS #when i tell you my heart physically hurts rn #god dammit ty #you talented mother fucker i love you 

You’re right. This IS your fault smh. making me hurt all these people... The song is an absolute banger and it’ll for sure make me fucking sad when i listen to it too. That video of you crying was lowkey gold and i’m sorry that i kinda laughed at it. I’m kinda evil if you can’t tell. I love you more.

#2: @g-l-pierce:  I just feel like you didn’t have to do me like that. I was sitting here thinking “Yes girl. Gimme some of that Ashton love.” And all I got was heartbreak. 😭🥺 So well written, as usual! ♥️ can’t wait for the next fic!

The truth is that I knew how to get youuuuuu. Oh it sounded so sweet and tender(that’s always my trap), but then BAM. you get hit with hurt. Thank you so much!!! I’m excited for you to read my next couple of fics!!

#1: @flameraine:  Next time you want to rip my heart out and shatter it at 2am, give me a heads up so I can be drunk for it. Omg I'm in literal tears. 💔😢 I'm hoping for a part 2. 3. 4.....

oh my. this made me laugh. I never thought someone would need to get drunk because of me. I’m so sorry aout the tears :( I teared up a bit, too. Def gonna be a part two to hopefully get y’all to feel better!

honorable mentions: @cxddlyash and @cashton-queen for basically saying what the fuck” and “fuck you, you better fix this”

[enchanted-lightning-aes]

omg, one fic??? Uh, no! 😭 (I just woke up forgive titles) The hot air balloon fic (BOTH!) still got me thinking, I so loved that, just the fluff and everything!!! Also, that Rhodey fic with fencing is just amazing I loved that sm 💖 then there's that Passionate Longing (angst!!!), all of your aesthetics (is that allowed?), Domestic Square (alpine!!), and Feline Fondness 😍💕 there's probably more, but these are memorable 💖

YEEEE, FRANCE, THANKS FOR MENTIONING THE FICS YOU LISTED!

“Flight of Confusion” really was fun to write, and even though it took me three (I think??) weeks to complete it. Also, Nat and Bucky as BFFs give me life. And Bucky being a clown to himself. . . classic. Plus, Sammy having the mission under control had been a treat. <3

“The Depth of A Sword-person’s Craft”, was a gift to you, so I see why you’d mention it. Even though DUM-E had lost in that fight, lmaoooo. Plus, you got to meet Claudia, the first time! I consider it a bonus, ahhhhh.

“Passionate Longing” was my first foray to posting and writing angst for Sambucky, and I’m pleased by the results. 😂😂 Sorry, if I kicked everyone’s hearts with that, lmaooo.

I think aesthetics are allowed, since *few* of them are fics. But I’m still going to write the Secret Agents AU and Fantasy squares somehow. . . keep an eye on those.

“Like This For Awhile” was written in a few hours and yES, ALPINE made that fic for me, lol. Every bit of it was domestic material, yeet.

“Feline Fondness” is probably my favorite of all the bingo squares that I’ve done. Because softness, Sam and Bucky as cat parents, and Alpine herself.

Seriously, I can listen to the more stuff that you liked, but I’mma leave it at here.

All of these are excellent choices, mon ami. 💖💖

If you want to, tell me which fic of mine is your favorite.

Jikook/Kookmin Fic Rec Part 1

(Part 2 Here)

I’ve slowly been building up my list of KM fics and thought I might as well share them with the rest of the Tumblr-sphere (and organize them all because if the rest of my life is a mess, at least my fav fics can be orderly amirite)! I’m somewhat new to BTS and KM so it’s not too big a list, but I’m going to be updating this as I find more that I enjoy :) Happy Reading! 

(most of these are probs old fics because like i said IM NEW HERE IM SO SORRY, but i hope you still find it helpful idk man)

Mostly Fluffy Fics

you are the ruler of the stars (and my heart) by cygnus (sunsprite) | Words: 18k | Jimin reluctantly joins his college’s Space and Astronomy club on the basis of Taehyung’s persuasion. Surrounded by a group of unnecessarily tall space nerds, he unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with one of them.

OH MY GOD THIS WAS SO CUTE. One of my fav fluffy fics to be honest. I was squealing basically the whole time i was reading. love.

i’ll stick to you like glue-cose by cygnus (sunsprite) | Words: 7k |  Jimin merely wanted to study in peace, yet a certain five-foot ten frat boy -- unfortunately also a past hookup -- that epitomizes the very definition of smugness in one entire body whose ego is as big and full-scaled as the national debt, won’t let him.

Another super cute fluffy fic!!! i just found this author and the fluff is just so amazingly written and not cliche at all and ugh. JK acts like he’s all suave but he’s really just a big softie and AH. 

friday nights (with you) by kstorms | Words: 24k |  How a random night at a karaoke bar leaves Jimin with two new friends and a frowny, terribly handsome crush.

Anther classic tbh. I think I’ve read this through like four or five times bc i have literally no life and enjoy this VERY well written humor. There’s like zero angst in this and it’s all mostly Taehyung being a very cute little shit to JK (KM is there obvs and they super cute but ya know). Def a must read.

competency at its highest potency by MauveTarte | Words: 10k | State-Sponsored Runs are the excitement of every Alpha and Omega youth.

Or,

Jimin has one final chance at this bonding thing before his life goes to shit.

the one and only ABO fic i’ve read with NO SMUT. that’s right, ya heathens! this one is solely plot driven (and super fluffy). It’s cute af and Taehyung is an amazing friend :)

(my heart beats) for you by sabotagemyheart | Words: 17k | In which Jungkook, as a child, befriends the exceptionally adorable, small and friendless Jimin, not knowing that after a few years, he’ll be wrecking this very boy underneath himself making him whimper out his name.

okay LISTEnn. This summary makes this fic sound a lot dirtier than it is (ok yes it’s smutty BUT there’s more fluff in this than anything else. its so so so cute.)

Mostly Smutty Fics

Studio 2 by Charmander | Words: 20k WIP | Somewhere along the way, Jimin lost that passion he used to pour into his art, watching as it slipped through his very fingers. But street kid Jungkook is all heart and soul, and he’s more than willing to help Jimin learn to burn with the same fire he carries inside himself.

okay so this one is very plot heavy (as is most of Charmander’s fics) so don’t think you’re getting JUST smut. it has an amazing storyline about sexuality struggles and i think a lot of you would enjoy it! (the smut is bomb af tho sooo) 

Starstruck by SugaTheTurtle | Words: 5k |  Everyone is attracted to idols at one point or another. As part of Big Hit’s staff, Jimin really shouldn’t still be as attracted to Jungkook as he was at the beginning. Maybe if he wasn’t he wouldn’t be stuck hiding inside a closet in his dressing room silently praying that the idol was reaching for the zipper on his pants to change into something more comfortable.

ALRIGHTY HERE WE GO LADIES AND GENTS. This is for all you kinky fuckers out there who love pure smut. It was very interesting at first but as it progressed i was like whoaoaa i need some holy water. this fic is the epitome of “well, that escalated quickly” (but it’s still not rushed ??? which like...how?) enjoy! lmao.

Interlude by Bunbungee | Words: 9k | Jungkook has fallen in love at first listen with Jimin’s interlude and he won’t stop until he finds out why he is reacting so strongly to it. His search for answers takes a new turn when, one night, he discovers just how much the song can affect him.

Okay this was smutty, but still SUPER CUTE bc jeon is his typical shy bunny self who’s super oblivious and jimin is just a sweetheart. looooove.

Wet Depths by WorldwideWriter | Words: 10k | All it takes for Jungkook to break is a slightly unfair swimming competition and a too seductive Jimin.

GIVE ME ALL THE ENEMIES TO LOVERS FICS hell yes. I love their dynamic in this one, they hate each other (but they really don’t lol like come on.) and the sexual tension is insane.

everybody’s watching him, but he’s looking at you by jonghyunslisterine | Words: 6k|   In which Jimin formulates a three-step plan to get the hot bouncer to notice him. (Spoiler: it doesn’t go quite as expected.)

okay this is smutty but also super cute so like idk where to put it but jimin wears a thong in it so i think the smut category will suffice. a quick read but so worth it, JK is a lowkey sweetheart.

Blood & Chocolate by MyHope (CutesyMe) | Words: 35k | “What if I only want you to sit on my lap?” the stranger asks, which is an odd request. People always want Jimin to dance for them. Only sometimes do they ask of him to just sit on their lap but event hen he has to move in some way and not just sit still.

“Same price,” Jimin retorts.

Jungkook spreads his legs slightly and motions to his lap as if it’s the best seat that has ever been offered to Jimin. “Be my guest.”

so i don’t really know what to say here but i loved their dynamic in this fic?? i love the way JK treats JM in this ahhhh its SMUTTY AF but he still super sweet and protective.  There’s sooooome angst but it’s not too bad. Good plot.

New Heights by Charmander | Words 11k| There’s no better way to remind yourself that you’re alive than tempting fate from 700 meters above the ground and the searing touch of another’s fingers dragging down your chest.

1000% my favorite smut fic out there. the dialogue written in this fic is so well-done and absolutely hilarious. Sexual tension is CRAZY. love his fics.

give in to the game by cherrygloss | Words: 23k | “Jimin, if you honestly think that I’m going to pretend to be your boyfriend so you can make your ex jealous, then you’re out of your mind.”

im s oRRY, i know this is mostly smut aljfdlkaldfj my thirsty ass has bookmarked so many smut fics but i can’t help it oof. but this is super cute smut with some feeliins.

Nu ABO: A Memoir by Park Jimin by decompositionbooks | Words: 34k | The world didn’t think it was necessary to give him a guide when it shoved all of these omega hormones at him, so here it is, Park Jimin’s handbook to dealing with heats, unrequited love, and Jeon Jungkook.

WOOH another classic! I live for jealous/protective!JK idk its just super cute. my fav ABO fic!!

two sides; same story by namjoone | Words: 12k | Okay, so maybe Jimin thinks his neighbor is hot.

A little.

Okay, maybe a lot.

haha ohhhh man i love mutual pining. they’re both totally dumb at the beginning of this and i live for it. also some hoottttttt ass smut. (bc i need jesus at this point)

Not a Girl by PinkBTS | Words: 8k | Jeongguk isn’t sure what he did in his previous life to deserve this but he probably screwed up big time...he’s kinda grateful though.

A story about Santa, assumptions and thick-rimmed glasses.

AHHHHH  this is so funny and awkward and hot and EVERYTHING. I live for frat!bangtan with my whole heart. 

Downpour by kikistiel (Kikai) | Words: 15k | Jimin doesn’t know what it is. But now, he’s not sure he’s ready for summer to be over just yet.

IM SCREAMING. This was almost poetically good (aka A+ writing oh my gerrrd). It’s kinda angsty too like a bit but its also so sweet i love it :( go read pls.

How to Seduce Your Dance Teacher by Jeon Jungkook by soranosuzu | Words: 5k | Currently there are a million thoughts racing through Jungkook’s brain, but two very prominent ones finally beat their way to the forefront of his mind. First, Jimin is hot as hell and Jungkook needs to find a way to get into his pants. Second (and maybe slightly more urgent than the first), Jungkook needs to find a way to prevent himself from popping a boner every time Jimin does that in the future and, more importantly, right now.

(aka AU in which Jungkook devises a plan to seduce his ridiculously hot dance teacher Jimin)

HELLL YEAH. that is all.

i like how desperate you seem (in the way you look at me) by fatal (cumrich) | Words: 71k WIP | Packs merge all the time. It’s survival, Jimin knows that, but what he’s not prepared for is the attention he’s getting from a certain Jeon Jungkook, the alpha’s son.

yeeesss we got some more ABO up in this biiiiihhcc. It’s not done yet, but i strongly urge you to read!! so goooood and the smut is A1.

Mostly Angst

The Bet by jonghyunslisterine | Words: 46k |  Where Jeon Jungkook makes a bet that he can get the notoriously single Park Jimin to sleep with him by the end of the semester. 

Needless to say, things don’t go exactly as planned.

Yes i had to include this lovely classic :) Still one of my favs and probably always will be *shrug*. I’m not usually an angst person but this is like the perfect dosage for me to handle lol. If you haven’t read it yet, what are you doing with your life honestly go do it lmao.

lost stars by pjungkook | Words: 25k | Park Jimin has another maknae in his life and Jeon Jungkook is completely losing it.

have you ever felt like your heart was being smushed under an eighteen wheeler and your chest was caving in? Yeah that was me during this fic. But it’s sososo good and i promise there’s still fluff (i cannot live through angst without fluff) so READ.

Falling for you again by Rose_gold715 | Words: 30k | Jungkook loses all memory of the last five years of his life.

Jimin is scared he will never love him again.

wow okay so this one was a tear-jerker. you sympathize with both JK and JM but you’re also sort of frustrated with them at the same time?? soso good, definitely give it a read.

serendipity (none of this is a coincidence) by nclnns | Words: 30k | Jimin feels like crying.

Because the boy -- Jeon Jungkook as he had learnt a week ago -- is the exact opposite of Jimin.

And he’s the person Jimin’s boyfriend has been cheating on him with.

or

In which Jimin finds out that Taehyung is cheating on him with a boy named Jeon Jungkook and in the quest to understand what went wrong, he ends up falling in love with said boy.

so i haven’t read this one in a few months but i remember it being one of the first KM fics i had ever bookmarked, so it must have hit me in some way. JK is a sweetie though from what i remember.

“I did almost die in this house once, five years ago,” he whispers, watching as Jimin clenches his jaw but doesn’t look away. “I think I can handle more. I’m bigger and stronger now, see?” Jimin holds his gaze for two seconds before it tracks south to move down Jungkook’s body.

“Kook, I’m just asking,” You said in a singsong voice, trailing after your best friend in the school hallway. Jungkook responded with a turn of his head and a huff, causing you to smirk. “So I’m right? You’re crushing on Soomin?”

“Keep your voice down, woman!” He shushed you and grabbed your wrist, taking you to a more secluded part of the hall.

“Why? You’re Jeon Jungkook. Doesn’t the entire female population have a crush on you?” You pointed out, crossing your arms over your chest. 

“Not everyone,” Jungkook murmured while looking around for any sign of the girl you were currently talking about.

“Of course,” you scoffed to yourself with a shake of your head as a soft smile appeared on your face. Jungkook snapped his gaze back to you and raised an eyebrow as if urging you to continue. “You chase after the ones who don’t like you.”

“Well, I’m certainly not going to go for girls who just throw themselves at me. They have to have some dignity.” 

You rolled your eyes at the boy before you. Jeon Jungkook: the boy at your school who just so happened to win the heart of every single girl in your grade. Hell, he probably won the heart of every girl in your entire school. And he just so happened to be your best friend since you were born.

Whenever people said his name, it was like he was famous; all the girls swooned at the sight of him while all the guys frowned in envy at the sound of his name. And you...laughed at all of them. 

You never understood how someone could have so much of a fanbase from strangers. Is this what being a celebrity felt like? You often thought to yourself when he was approached by random girls you’d never seen before.

You could bet that none of Jungkook’s admirers knew a damn thing about him besides the fact that he was the captain of nearly every team at school and had a 4.0 gpa. Besides that, they probably didn’t know his favorite color. 

But you? No, you knew everything there was to know about Jungkook. You grew up right next to each other...literally. It didn’t help that your mothers were best friends AND you were neighbors so, yes, you did have bath photos. Talk about cringey. You knew everything about him from favorite food to what he’d do on a Saturday evening. 

You knew this boy like the back of your hand and unexpectedly from your view, no one seemed to be envious of it. Mainly because you were only his best friend; nothing more.

“Hey, I get it. But Soomin? Why her?” You tapped your chin in wonder. You and Jungkook only had a few classes with the girl so you wondered how she caught his interest.

“I’ve talked to her a few times between classes and she’s really nice and isn’t weird around me...she doesn’t, you know, treat me how everyone else does.”

“Ah, I see,” You nodded in understanding and an idea popped into your head. “Maybe I can help with that?” 

Jungkook stared at the mischievous grin on your face for a few seconds before shaking his head profusely. “No, no, no. No way!”

“What? Come on, I won’t spill any of your darkest secrets like how you put pepper in the football tea–”

“Y/N!” He scolded you, looking around again. “Now I don’t trust you even more.”

“Trust me, Kook. Within a month, I’ll get this girl to like you,” You sang, turning around to go. Jungkook reached for your hand in horror but you already skipped away from him. Turning back to face him, you continued to walk backward as other students in the hallway avoided bumping into you. “As long as you don’t forget my birthday when you date her, got it?”

Sending a grin in your direction, Jungkook laughed, “Like you’d ever let me forget!”

“Just making sure!” You shrugged before turning back around and continued walking in the direction of your first class.

“Aish, she’s going to be the death of me,” He muttered to himself with a roll of his eyes before slumping his shoulders and trailing after you.

-

“Hi Soomin!” You plopped yourself into the seat in front of Soomin’s in your math class. From across the room, where you usually sat, you felt Jungkook’s stares and inaudible pleas to stop but you disregarded them. Thank goodness your first period with Soomin was math because the teacher never arrived on time.

“Oh, uh, hi Y/N,” she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. 

“You know my name?”

“Doesn’t everyone?” She asked, raising an eyebrow. Did everyone know your name? If they did, you assumed it was only because of the fact that you were Jungkook’s best friend. Frowning at the thought, you wondered, was that your reputation at this school? Just being Jungkook’s wacky best friend?

“I’m sorry if that came out wrong! You’re just well known to the student body, I meant. You’re at the top of most of our classes and you do have a bit of a gaudy attitude,” She elaborated. Gaudy?

“Oh, I see. Well, I just came over to get to know you a bit. You see, I’m––” You gazed at Jungkook who was waving his hands wildly for you to stop, “––running for Student Body President! Yeah, that’s what I’m doing...” You pursed your lips together in a pressed smile and averted your gaze at your blatant lie.

“You are? Well, I wish you luck with that. Why did you have to talk to me though?” She asked, confusion evident in her voice.

“I, uh, want to get to know the students more! On a more personal level, you know? I want to know your true thoughts and opinions about the school and what needs to be changed. Are clubs still a vital part of the school community? Is the technology up to date? Is...” You trailed off from your surprisingly passionate speech and looked back at her with a sheepish smile. “Heh heh, your input would be nice, is all I’m saying.”

“I’m flattered that someone’s coming to me because...well, no one really cares about my opinion besides my friends,” she smiled.

“I care now,” you grinned. “If it doesn’t clash with your schedule, are you free eighth period?”

Checking her schedule, she nodded. “I am. Meet me in the library?”

“Great! See you there!” You walked back to your seat and smiled to yourself in victory. The teacher just walked into class and you had already set your plan into motion.

“I am going to murder you in your sleep,” Jungkook greeted you with a glare.

“Love you too, bubs,” You replied, slipping into the seat behind his. 

Turning in his seat to face you, he licked his lips in anticipation. “Just tell me what she said.”

“She didn’t say anything yet. What, you think I’m just going to meet her and ask about you? How complicated do you think girls are?” You raised an eyebrow.

“So what did you talk about all this time?” He furrowed his brows. “I heard you mention something about the school and technology?”

“Oh...” You looked away, bashfully. “I may or may not have told her I’m running for Student Body President.”

Jungkook let out a loud laugh causing the teacher to send him a scowl before returning to the lesson. “Student Body President? Now that’s funny,” Jungkook whispered.

“Hey! I could be a good representative of our school!”

“I agree with you there, but the fact that you’d want to be? Where’s the lazy Y/N I know and love?”

“I’m not being serious, idiot. I just needed something to say to get close to her.”

“Ahh, I see now,” He nodded before turning back and focusing on the lesson.

“Ahh, I see now,” you mimicked with an eye roll causing him to kick his leg behind him to hit your desk.

-

“You know, one of these days, you’re going to thank me for meddling with your love life,” you nudged the inside of Jungkook’s elbow while you were on the lunch line.

Jungkook turned away from the lunch lady to send you a flat look. “Did you hear what you just said? Meddle?” He turned back to the lunch counter and asked the lunch lady for a sandwich.

“I’m just saying! What if this is the girl?” You trailed after him, grabbing your lunch off the counter along the way.

“The girl?”

“Don’t play dumb with me, Kook,” You scowled even though he couldn’t see you since his back was facing you. 

“We’re in high school, Y/N. I don’t know if this is the girl I’ll end up with. I don’t even know how I feel about her yet. I’m just interested, that’s all.”

“Puh–lease. I’ve never heard of my best friend being interested in someone and it not being serious,” You rolled your eyes.

“You know what?” He quickly spun around to turn to you and you had to step back from him so his lunch didn’t end up all over you. “Fine. Be the matchmaker you desire to be, Y/N! But if you mess this up for me, I’m going to kill you.”

You smiled sweetly at him, “Of course.”

After you had settled down at a table, your usual table, he spoke again, “What’s your plan?”

“My plan? To befriend her and then convince her my best friend is a really great guy she should be interested in him...that’s going to be hard.”

“Hey!”

“I’m kidding! If you won the hearts of everyone else, I don’t think she’d be too much of a challenge.” 

“Let’s hope not.”

-

“Hey, Y/N!” Soomin approached your table in the library. Jungkook stiffened in the seat beside yours. 

“Hey Soomin! You don’t mind if Kook sticks around while we talk?” You smiled warmly at the girl, ignoring the daggers sent by Jungkook’s eyes.

Shrugging with a smile, she replied “No, I don’t mind.”

Jungkook sheepishly smiled at her, “I–If you don’t want me here, I–I could go–”

“No, no! It’s fine, really!”

“Okay,” Jungkook breathed out and turned his attention back to his homework.

You and Soomin chatted the entire period while you subtly nudged Jungkook to engage in the conversation. When he finally did, he didn’t do too poorly. He made Soomin laugh and there was no uncomfortable silence which you were grateful for. 

“You know,” Jungkook nudged you on your walk home from school. “I think your plan may just work.”

Raising an eyebrow at his remark, your lips curled into a smile. “So you admit it?”

“Hm, I guess so. Thank you, Y/N, for doing this,” Jungkook spoke softly as his hands were buried deeply into his sweatshirt pockets.

“Of course, bubs. What are best friends for?”

-

A week into first speaking to Soomin, you two began getting closer. You began inviting one another to each other’s houses and you were actually glad to have a new friend; especially one who wasn’t obsessed with your best friend.

“Hm, for someone who just wanted some opinions, we are getting awfully close,” Soomin raised an amused eyebrow. She had come over to ‘do homework and talk about what changes she’d like done to the school.’

Chuckling nervously, you said, “Well, I already got some commentary from other students. But along with your input, you’re really cool and it’d be nice to have another friend.” You two were currently lounging on your bed, books in front of you and pencils in your hands.

“Another friend? Isn’t everyone your friend already?”

“Please,” You rolled your eyes with a sigh, “they’re only friends with me because I’m best friends with Kook.”

“Jungkook, right?”

Your eyes lit up at the mention of his name and you looked at her in curiosity. “Yeah! You know him well?”

“Actually, no. I’ve spoken to him a few times, including that time in the library last week, but that’s all. Why?”

“Oh, just wondering. If anyone else mentions Jungkook, they go off on a tangent about how popular or attractive he is,” You rolled your eyes.

“And how’s that?” She asked, tilting her head to the side.

“Quite annoying.”

“I can imagine. So, you aren’t close with anyone else?”

“I mean, not really. Kook––he’s always been there for me you know? Since we were kids, he’d be my bodyguard and I his. I never felt the need to have other friends because he’s all I needed. Besides, when people did want to be my friend, they ended up ditching me or using me to hang out with him.”

“I’m so sorry. You know, not gonna lie, you’re pretty great! Why aren’t you as popular? You two could make a great power couple,” She rolled onto her back so she was looking at the ceiling in wonder.

You choked on a cough. “W–what? Power couple? Sure, we’re best friends but power couple? That’s ridiculous––”

“You do act like a couple already minus the romantic aspects. I didn’t know you two weren’t dating until last week at the library,” Soomin confessed, nonchalantly.

“Really? Does anyone else think that?”

Sitting up and staring at your curious gaze, she peered at you. “Plenty of people do...”

“What? Since when? No one comes up to me to find out whether Kook and I are dating.”

“Don’t you get it? Like you said, girls practically throw themselves at him to get a reaction. Face it, you’re their biggest competition,” She shrugged. How did she know so much about it?

“I’m really not...Kook and I, we’re only best friends! That’s all we’ll ever be!” 

Soomin raised a curious brow, “You really don’t see it?”

“See what?”

“The envy in other girls’ eyes? They would kill to be in your shoes. Being Jungkook’s best friend? That’s a ticket to get him to notice you,” She shrugged. “Besides, my friends have been there. All I used to hear were my friends plans to get Jungkook to notice them but after a while, they gave up.”

“Your friends? You never liked him?” You pressed, leaning your cheek on your palm while you traced designs on your bed comforter. 

“Me? Oh no. I mean, I thought he was attractive––not that he isn’t anymore! He totally is but––what was I saying?”

Your lips curled at her rambles, “How you didn’t like him.”

“Right! Yeah, it was hard when all your friends gushed about him. It seemed like I couldn’t bother. Other girls were drooling over him so I never felt the urge. You understand, right? I could imagine you do.”

“I do,” you slowly nodded. All your life you were surrounded by girls gossiping about your best friend and how great he was, but you? You saw Jungkook as you dorky best friend; you couldn’t imagine him in the eyes of all the others.

“It’s getting late. I should head home. Thanks for inviting me, Y/N,” Soomin smiled politely and sat up from your bed. Gathering her books into her backpack she chuckled, “Next time we should get work done, yeah?”

Nodded with pursed lips, you let out air from your nose. Soomin left shortly after that, leaving you alone to your thoughts.

“Something good better have happened yesterday...You didn’t come over,” Jungkook pouted disapprovingly when he approached your locker the next day.

“I told you Soomin was coming over,” you raised an eyebrow and sent him a knowing look. Sighing in exasperation, he leaned against the locker beside yours. 

“And?”

“Hey, I can’t tell you! It’s girl talk,” You closed your locker and crossed your arms over your chest. 

“Since when do you care about girl talk? You tell me everything,” Jungkook deadpanned.

“Since I’ve made a friend who was a girl. That means I have to stick to girl code,” You turned away from him to walk toward your next class. 

Trailing behind you, he persisted, “Can you at least tell me if I have a chance?”

Turning to give your best friend a sweet smile, you patted his cheek lovingly. “I think you do.” Cheeks reddening at your words, he turned his head to roll his eyes.

“So that’s a no.”

“Hey, it takes time! I’m not a five star matchmaker overnight, you know?” You wagged a finger at him.

“Would you keep your voice down please?” Jungkook looked around just in case any body heard you. 

“Alright alright,” You turned back around to continue to class. 

Weeks flew by and your plan had finally worked to the point where Jungkook was actually conversing with the girl. She sat with you at lunch and, at first, it was awkward due to the fact that Jungkook mainly spent the period staring at his lunch, only listening in on Soomin and your conversations. However, after a while of giving him confidence and persuading him, he finally began to engage in conversations more frequently to the point where they’d forgotten all about you. 

Normally you’d glare at your best friend for his rudeness but you saw how happy he was; the way his eyes twinkled with infatuation with the girl across the table with him. You were happy for your best friend. Like you should’ve been...right?

“Jungkook asked me out today,” Soomin mumbled under her breath while you two were searching through the bookcases in the library for some information on your latest history assignment.

“He what!?” You nearly shrieked, causing the nearby librarian to shush you with a scowl. Looking away in embarrassment, you turned back to Soomin and whispered, “He what?”

“I know,” she laughed to herself as if the whole thing was bizarre, “He just came up to me and asked me out.”

“And?” You pressed, leaning in as if this was the most valuable information you’d ever gotten.

“I said yes.” You jumped up in glee. Before you could reply she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, “...under one condition.”

“And what’s that?” You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion. 

“That you’d come with your own date?” She winced, waiting for your outburst. You blinked as the words processed in your mind. 

Widening your eyes in horror, you spoke in a hushed tone, “Soomin! Why on earth would you say that? Sending his best friend on a double date with him?”

“I know! I’m sorry, really! It just, sort of, slipped out! It’s just...you know we’ve gotten close but I still don’t know Jungkook as well as I’d like to but if you were there, maybe you can make sure the date goes well?”

Sighing at her begging demeanor, you nodded. “Of course, I’ll go...but I don’t have a date,” You stated, flatly.

“I might’ve found one for you. He’s really sweet, believe me. I’ve known him for a while and he really likes you,” She reassured with a smile.

Pondering over the thought, deeply, you watched as Soomin gnawed at her lip, waiting for your answer. 

“...Is he cute?”

Sighing in relief at your question, she linked arms with yours, “I think so.”

“I already promised her! I can’t back out now!” You frowned as you watched Jungkook scurry around his room looking for something to wear. 

“Fake sick or something! Your going to make things awkward, Y/N!” He looked up from rummaging through his dresser to shoot you a deadpanned look.

“No I won’t. Remember, I have my own date so it’s not like I’ll be focused on you. I’ll be talking to him––”

“Woah woah. You have a date? With who? Is he in our grade? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I need to approve him!” Jungkook was now in front of you, searching your eyes for the answers to his nosy questions.

“Kook!” You playfully smacked his shoulder, “Don’t get all protective on me now! We have a date in an hour and you should be getting ready,” You pointed to the imaginary watch on your wrist. 

Looking down at your own nice clothes, Jungkook sighed, “I thought girls were supposed to take a while to get ready. How come you’re not like them?”

Rolling your eyes at his stereotypical statement, you protested, “I’m not like most girls, Kook.”

“Yeah, you sure aren’t,” He paused before shaking his head to himself, “You look great by the way.”

Beaming at his compliment, you looked down at your own outfit. “Thank you. Now...let’s get you looking as dashing as ever.” 

Looking down at his torso, your nose went up a the top he was wearing. “Nuh–uh. Too casual.”

Sighing, he asked, “What should I wear then?”

Walking over to his closet, you went through the button up shirts and took one out. “You could never go wrong with white,” You waved the hanger into his face. 

Taking the thin shirt off the hanger, he shrugged off the horrid looking sweater he was just wearing. Turning your head, you looked through his collection of ties.

Turning back around, you held up three ties to his chest as he buttoned the last few buttons of his shirt. Eyeing your look of concentration, a smile broke out on his face.

“You’re really serious about this, aren’t you?”

“Well, she’s your potential first official girlfriend––” you declared, throwing one of the ties which didn’t fit over you shoulder before making eye contact with Jungkook, “––so yes. Which one do you like?” You held up the two ties in each hand.

Jungkook pointed to the one in your right hand and in response, you scrunched your nose up in distaste. Wrapping the other tie around his neck, you heard him laugh aloud.

“You excited?” You asked, your focus on the tie around his neck. Your hands maneuvered the tie into a knot.

“Of course. I’ve been waiting for this for a while...you?” You looked up at his raised eyebrows and something within you fluttered but you decided to ignore it.

“Mhm,” you hummed in agreement, averting your gaze back to the tie. You adjusted the tie around his neck and beamed at your craftsmanship. Nodding your head in approval you patted his chest. His dress shirt fitted him nicely, accentuating his biceps and chest. You mentally rolled your eyes, imagining the looks he’d get from other girls.

“There. Handsome as always.” You looked up from his chest and you swore you saw something flicker in his eyes. Neither of you moved an inch, just staring at one another. Your phone began to ring and you cleared your throat, awkwardly. 

Stepping away from Jungkook, you took the phone off of his nightstand.

“Hello?”

“Where are you? I’m knocking on your front door but no one’s answering!”

“Soomin! I’m next door, I’ll be right out.”

“Oh, okay. I’m sorry. I’m just a bit...nervous, that’s all.”

Smiling softly, although she couldn’t see you, you reassured, ”I understand. I’ll be out in two minutes.”

You hung up the phone and grabbed your purse from Jungkook’s doorknob. “Your date is at my house so if you don’t mind...”

Jungkook nodded and gave you a short wave. Rushing down the steps, your hand slid down the railing as you were carful not to trip and fall.

“Soomin,” You greeted, brightly, exiting jungkook’s home to see her in front of your home’s door.

“Hey! This is your date,” Soomin gestured to the smiling boy beside her.

“Yeah, Jimin, right?” You stepped into your front yard and offered a hand. Jimin shook your hand with a nod.

“You look stunning!”

“Why thank you! You look very nice, too,” you grinned at the boy’s sweet words.

“Is Jungkook ready?”

Hearing his name caused your heart rate to increase. “Hm?”

“Jungkook. Is he ready?” Soomin repeated, furrowing her brows.

“Oh, well he’s––”

“Hey Soomin. Ready for tonight?” A voice cut you off causing the three of you to turn your attention to next door. There in all his glory, you mentally rolled your eyes, was the ever so confident Jeon Jungkook. It didn’t even look like the man was freaking out about a date just minutes before.

Staring in awe at your best friend, your focus broke when Jimin linked arms with yours. Shaking out of your daze, you pretended to wipe a fake tear off your cheek. “I can’t believe it. My boy’s all grown up.”

Jungkook rolled his eyes at you and linked arms with Soomin. “My car is parked right there,” He waved his car in the direction of his car parked just across the street.

The restaurant was neither too casual nor too fancy. It made a great place for dates, especially for young couples. The walls were painted a nude orange while paintings of landscapes were hung around the dimly lit room.

After you settled at a table, Jimin being quite a gentleman by pulling out your seat and pushing it in for you, the four of your took a look at the menu. Jungkook sat across from you and watched as his forehead began to glisten as if he was about to start sweating bullets. Kicking your leg under the table to hit his, you shot him a look of reassurance.

“You’ll be fine,” you mouthed to which he responded with a slow nod and breath of relief.

“Everything looks so good,” Soomin voiced as her eyes flickered down the menu in front of her. You hummed in agreement, placing your eyes back on the menu.

“So Y/N,” Jimin caught your attention and you turned to him in question. 

“Hm?”

“You’re pretty involved in school, huh?” Shyly, you tucked a strand of hair behind you. From across the table, Jungkook raised a confused brow. You never did that.

“I wouldn’t say that.”

“Come on. Sports teams? Student council? And you’re one of our top students? You’re a big deal,” Jimin gushed, widening his eyes. 

Widening your own eyes, a blush crept up your neck. No one really acknowledged that about you. You just thought people only cared about the fact that you were friends with Jungkook, the school’s own golden boy.

“I am?”

“You’re our school’s golden girl. People don’t tell you that all the time?” Jimin furrowed his brows together. No, you thought to yourself. They didn’t. When people spoke to you, no one mentioned you’re own being. It was always Jungkook this, Jungkook that.

Before you could answer, a throat was cleared and you both snapped your attention to Jungkook. “Of course she does. From me.”

Tilting your head in acknowledgement, you agreed. Jungkook did mention your outgoing nature quite a lot. You turned it into a competition; seeing who was the most involved in your school.

“Right. And she should.” You heard the challenge in Jimin’s voice and you looked at Soomin who was oblivious to the whole thing, still looking down at her menu.

“I tell her, too!” Soomin piped, grinning. “I was surprised when she came to me for input for changes requested by students for the school.”

“Wow! Asking others for advice regarding the school? You’re quite a character, Y/N. Remind me why you’re still single? You’re a catch,” Jimin grinned, cheekily. 

Biting your lip, hiding the grin threatening to spread across your face, you looked away. From across the table, Jungkook rolled his eyes and scoffed to himself. 

“You’re involved, too, aren’t you, Jungkook?” Soomin rested her chin on her hand as her elbow leaned against the table.

“Hm? Oh yeah,” Jungkook stated, his eyes still trained on you. Narrowing your eyes at his vague answer, you kicked him from under the table.

“He’s the captain of nearly every team and the president of plenty of clubs,” you pointed out, hopefully impressing Soomin in some way.

“That’s impressive,” Soomin pouted in approval and nodded. 

You looked at Jimin and watched him nod in agreement. 

“I mean, it’s nothing compared to Y/N, right?” Jungkook shrugged. Squinting your eyes, you wondered what he was doing. Was he being humble? Jungkook was never humble.

“Give yourself more credit!” Soomin lightly shoved him causing a small laugh to escape Jungkook’s mouth. 

“Hey,” Jimin whispered, breaking you out of your gaze.

“Hm?” You turned to him with a smile. He squinted at you, as if analyzing you, before shaking his head to himself and releasing a small chuckle.

“What kind of music do you listen to?”

The double date ended and you all left the restaurant, laughs escaping each of your lips. “That was fun!” Soomin giggled, climbing into Jungkook’s car.

“It was,” Jimin agreed, sneaking a glance at you. “Maybe next time it could be just us.”

Raising your eyebrows at his sly excuse for a date, you looked up as if pondering his proposition. “Hm, maybe.” 

Chuckling at your ambiguous response, he looked back ahead at the road.

“What about you, Jungkook? Next time, just us?” Soomin asked, looking up from her phone.

Jungkook looked through the mirror and watched as you gave a pleased smile and short nod. “If you’d like to,” He replied, putting his eyes back on the road.

Soomin nodded her head with a smile before turning in her seat to face you. She widened her eyes and opened her mouth widly. You mirrored her facial expression, not able to contain your excitement for her and your best friend.

After Jimin and Soomin were dropped off at their houses, it was just you and Jungkook in the car. You managed to take Soomin’s seat in the passenger side after Jungkook dropped the two of them off.

“It was a success!” You yelled in glee. Jungkook looked to you and his lips curled up in a smile. 

“I think you’re happier than I am. Did you like Jimin? You looked like you liked him.” 

“He was nice,” you quieted down from your previous thrilled behavior. 

“Woah. What was that? You instantly took it down ten notches. What happened? Did he say something to you?” He turned his full attention to you when he reached a stoplight. 

“No, no!” You denied, quickly. “He was great! I just...I don’t know. He seemed too good to be true, you know?” Jungkook bit his lip and looked back down at the steering wheel as if thinking about your claim. Shaking your head to yourself, a laugh escaped your lips. “It’s okay if you don’t. You looked like you were having a great time with Soomin.”

“Y/N, I didn’t get to answer––”

“You didn’t have to, Kook. I know that look,” you sent a knowing look. It was the look of pure concentration. He wanted to relate and say he understood but you knew he didn’t.

Sighing to himself, he knew he wouldn’t get past your stubborn nature. The rest of the car ride was silent and you were grateful for it. You had silence for your own thoughts to think what were the new nerves settled at the pit of your stomach that had just come about when the date ended.

“See you at school tomorrow. Special day tomorrow,” you waved goodbye from your own front door as he fumbled with the keys to his. 

Waving goodbye, he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion before gaving you his usual boyish grin. You entered the house and closed the door with a sigh.

“Hey Y/N!” Jimin was the first to greet you the next day at school. Jungkook didn’t walk with you that morning because he texted you earlier that he was picking up Soomin and taking her to school. 

You realized he wasn’t in any of your classes, but nonetheless, you liked him and you looked forward to see him around at school.

“Hey Jimin,” you greeted the smiling boy. 

“I realized we didn’t exchange numbers last night,” Jimin pulled his phone out of his pocket and sent you a lopsided grin. 

“Oh! Yeah, here.” You took the phone from his hand and entered your phone number. 

“Thanks,” he took the phone back before scratching the back of his neck. “Did you have a good time last night?”

Nodding your head, you grinned, “I did! Did you?”

“I did.” He began to lean forward and backward by the heels of his feet. “So...will there be a next time?”

“Next time for what?” Another voice answered for you, Jungkook appeared beside you and threw his arm around you shoulder. 

“Uh, Kook? You mind?” You shrugged his arm off you. Furrowing his eyebrows at your cold reply, Jungkook put his hands up in surrender.

Turning back to Jimin with a smile, you nodded. “Sure. Just text me anytime.” And with that, you began to walk away from Jungkook, Jimin and Soomin, who was trailing behind Jungkook. 

“Woah woah. Hey Y/N,” Jungkook sped up to walk beside you.

“Hey,” you greeted, raising your eyebrows as if waiting for something.

“Just hey? Aren’t you going to ask me about the car ride this morning?”

You shoulders slumped in defeat before standing up straight again.

“What do you mean? It looks like you’re doing well on your own,” you raised an eyebrow.

“Okay, pause. Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Lie. “Why?”

“You’re acting...off,” Jungkook crossed his arms and stopped you in your path. 

“I’m okay, really.”

“No, Y/N, you’re not. I know you.”

“I’m fine, Kook! Just let me be, okay? Go back to Soomin. Wouldn’t want her to think you’re ditching her, right?”

You walked around Jungkook and continued your path to homeroom, leaving Jungkook to watch as you walked away. 

“Are you and Jungkook okay?” Soomin asked in the library during a free period. Looking up from your notebook, you furrowed your eyebrows. 

“Yeah, why?”

“He thinks you’re mad at him. Are you?”

Rolling your eyes, you shook your head. “No, I’m not mad at him.”

“Then...?”

“It’s nothing,” you dismissed her with a wave of your hand and she didn’t question you further. 

Were you being petty? It was just an honest mistake, the angel on your shoulder reassured you.

Psh, mistake? How could he make a mistake he never made since you were born? The devil on your shoulder retorted. 

Rolling your eyes at your thoughts, you shook your head to yourself and grabbed the book you were currently writing in and left the library. 

Walking through the empty hallway, you wondered what thoughts were swirling through Jungkook’s mind. Where’s Soomin? Would she like the shirt I’m wearing? Does she think my hair looks like a coconut like Y/N does?

Reaching your locker, you opened it up and a smile broke out on your face. Sunflowers? In the back of your mind, you knew Jungkook wasn’t an idiot and you were relieved when you were proven right.

Happy Birthday, Y/N! Hope you have the greatest day of your life! ~J

Tilting your head to the side in wonder, you pouted. Since when does Jungkook sign as ‘J’?

“Do you like them?” A voice from behind you broke you out of your thoughts, causing your heart to fall in your chest. You slowly turned to face the smiling boy.

“Oh, Jimin!”

“Sorry, did I scare you!?” Jimin raised his hands and widened his eyes.

“No, no! I just didn’t expect you!” You sighed, a weak smile on your face. Staring down at the flowers in your hand, you felt even worse than minutes before. They weren’t from Jungkook.

“I had a free period right now and rushed to the nearest florist. Sorry if it’s a little late,” Jimin rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. You took a look at the boy before you. 

“Late? Jimin, this is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you so much,” You extended your arms out and pulled Jimin in for a tight hug, the bouquet of sunflowers still in your right hand. “But wait,” you pulled away.

Raising his eyebrows in question, he hummed, “Hm?”

“How did you know today was my birthday?”

“You mentioned it last night. I have a good memory, I guess. I wish I could’ve given them to you earlier when I was talking to you,” he pouted, looking down shyly.

“Don’t worry about it, Jimin! I love them, they’re so beautiful!”

“I’m glad you like them. What do you have next period?”

Looking up to remember, you sighed, “Calculus.”

“Mind if I walk you to class?” Jimin offered with a smile. Nodding your head and genuinely smiling back, you linked arms with his.

Was Y/N mad at me? Did I do something wrong on the date to upset her? Was Jimin bothering her? All these questions were whirling through Jungkook’s head as he was in class and he just couldn’t focus on anything but the thought of you.

His knee bounced up at down beneath his desk as he gnawed nervously at his lip.

The bell rang and he raced out of his classroom to find you. He pushed past people as his eyes flickered around the hallway of students to find any sign of you. 

Where the hell were you?

“Jungkook, hey!” Soomin suddenly stopped him in his tracks, a bright smile on his face. 

“Hey, have you seen Y/N?” He avoided eye contact with Soomin as he glanced around nearby lockers.

“No...I haven’t. She left the library halfway into her free period to go to her locker or something,” Soomin shrugged and stared at him in curiosity. “She told me she’s not mad.”

“Well, she’s Y/N. I know Y/N, and if she says she’s not mad at me, she’s definitely mad at me.”

“For what? Did you have some sort of argument yesterday?” 

“No! At least...I don’t think so,” Jungkook licked his chapped lips in worry. What had he done?

He tried to reply the events of the night prior. You came over, helped his get dressed. Had an intense staring contest before Soomin called, left, went on the date, had fun with Jimin, and became shy and quiet when he was mentioned in the car.

Was it about Jimin?

“I might have something but I need to find Y/N.”

“So it later, Jungkook. We still have class,” Soomin raised an eyebrow. Nodding at her reasonable thinking, he agreed.

After eighth period, Jungkook looked around the school parking lot, where you usually met up with Jungkook for your walks home, but you weren’t there.

Taking his phone out of his pocket, he fumbled with his fingers on the screen to call you.

“Hello?”

“Y/N?”

“...Yeah?”

“Where are you!?”

“Uh...I went out for ice cream with Jimin.” Jungkook heard a few giggles from the other line. “Jimin, don’t you dare pay for me!” “Y/NNNN, it’s my treat!”

Furrowing his eyebrows in anger and clenching his fists, jealously rushed through his veins. Y/N went to ice cream without me? And didn’t even let me know?

“Oh.”

“Sorry, Kook. Talk later?” You sounded like you were trying to get out of the conversation and Jungkook didn’t understand why.

“Sure. See you later.”

“You’re really annoying, you know that?” You stared at the bubbly boy seated across from you in the ice cream parlor.

“Yeah right,” Jimin waved you off with his hand. “What was the call about?”

“Oh,” you bit your bottom lip. “Jungkook wanted to know where I was.”

Scrunching his eyebrows together, Jimin asked, “Why?”

“We usually walk home together but I didn’t tell him I was going out.”

“Oh. What did he get you? I bet it was a million times better than those sunflowers I got you,” Jimin eyed the bouquet in the seat beside yours.”

What should you say? That Jungkook hadn’t gotten you anything, making him seem like worst best friend in the world? Brush it off and give a vague answer? Lie?

“Is it too personal? I’m sorry!” 

Sighing in relief at Jimin’s over-worrying nature, you smiled. “It’s okay.”

“You know,” Jimin stirred the straw in his milkshake slowly. “I’m surprised to accepted my offer to come. I thought you and Jungkook would’ve hung out together for the rest of the day.” Me too, you thought to yourself.

You shrugged. “I don’t spend every minute with him.”

“From what I see, you do,” Jimin stated bluntly. 

“Really?”

“Yeah. You guys are, like, attached at the hip. Like I said yesterday, I’m surprised you’re single but I’m even more surprised you two aren’t dating.”

You were getting tired of these comments. Everyone you seem to meet is talking about the two of you being together. You missed when they only talked about Jungkook, leaving you out of the equation. It was less attention for you.

“You wouldn’t be the first.”

Unlocking your front door, you stepped inside the comfort of your home after your ice cream date–was it even a date?–with Jimin. Walking up to your room you dropped your backpack onto the floor beside your desk. Hearing giggles from out the window, you turned your head and your heart shattered for the nth time that day. 

Next door, through the window, Jungkook’s window, you watched Jungkook as he sat at his desk and Soomin very close next to him doing homework.

Frowning at the sight, you grabbed the string of your blinds and yanked them down, loud enough for them to hear from next door. 

Turning away from the covered window, you sat on your bed and took out the books required for your homework. 

Hours passed and you began to grow tired. A yawn escaped your mouth and you took a look at your phone. 11:55 p.m.

That was it, you thought. Jungkook had forgotten your birthday. Granted, you hadn’t bugged him about it since a few weeks prior but he should have remembered. Right?

Even Soomin remembered your birthday a few hours before and sent a text, promising to give you your gift tomorrow.

“Psst.” You heard a whisper from outside. 

“Y/N!” The voice whisper-shouted.

“Y/N,” The voice then sang in an impatient tone.

Getting up from your bed, you headed toward the window and raised the blinds. 

“What do you want?” You asked, coldly, to the innocently smiling boy on the grass beside your house, looking up at you. 

“Woah, chill, Y/N. Since you’re not talking to me, I’m deciding to do what the guys do in the movies.”

“No. No, you are not, Kook,” you warned.

He strode toward the tall tree who’s branches conveniently reached your window and lifted his leg up to climb it. 

“Kook, you’re going to fall and break your neck. What the hell are you doing?” You whisper-shouted so no one in the neighborhood could hear you.

“I told you. I need to talk to you,” he grunted as he struggled to climb the tree.

“You’re going to die,” you stated flatly.

“Thank you for the great words of encouragement, really appreciate it.” Even when struggling while climbing a tree, his voice was evidently laced with sarcasm.

“Seriously, this is just unnecessary.”

“I’m trying to prove a point, Y/N.”

“The front door is literally unlocked. Just go through that.”

“That’s not effective enough!”

“Oh my god.”

“If it worked for Troy Bolton, it’ll work for me.”

By the time you stopped bickering, Jungkook reached your window. “See? Effective, right? Like in the movies?”

“More like stupid. Get in here before you fall.” You grabbed his arm and pulled him into your room.

“Phew, that was a bit of a workout,” Jungkook breathed heavily while his hands were placed on his hips.

“What do you want, Kook?” You sighed, crossing your arms in impatience.

“Why are you mad at me Y/N? Did I say something or do something?”

“No.” 

“Then what?”

“It’s what you didn’t say.”

“Wh–What does that even mean?”

“Figure it out.” You turned around so your back was facing him and began to gather your books in your backpack.

“Y/N, please!” Jungkook grabbed your wrist and spun you back around. “You’re never like this! I think I know what this is about.” 

I highly doubt it.

“Jimin.” 

Coughing in surprise, you repeated his accusation, “Jimin? Why on earth would Jimin be the reason I’m mad at you?”

“That’s what I wanna know! You say you’re my best friend yet ignored me the entire day and treated me like crap!” 

You heart sank at his words. He was right. It was just a dumb birthday. You’d have many more to come and had you not been such a bitch, he’d probably been there for those.

“We haven’t been hanging out as much either, too, though. I get it. Since you and Soomin are practically dating, you forgot––”

“Wait, is this about Soomin? You’re jealous of Soomin?” Jungkook frowned.

“What? No, I’m not.”

“Yes, you are Y/N. How could you be jealous of Soomin? You’re the one who set us up!”

“I’m not jealous!”

“Yeah right. What other reasonable explanation is there?”

Fuming at his question, you clenched your fists. You had a just tried to tell him but look where it got you.

But why couldn’t you tell him again now? Was it pride? Or was is it that if Jungkook forgot something as simple as your birthday, how long would it be until he forgot about you altogether?

“You know what, Y/N? I refrained from arguing because you’re upset with me but honestly, I’m more upset with you. You’re my best friend! Aren’t you supposed to tell me everything and let me know when something’s wrong? Stop acting like a jealous girlfriend and tell me what the hell I did!”

Jealous girlfriend? 

“You really think of me as a jealous girlfriend?” Your voice was low and nearly cracking. Were these Jungkook’s true thoughts about you? Just a girl who wanted him all to herself just like the others?

Jungkook looked up and his expression softened when he took in your features. 

“Y/N––”

“Out.”

“What?”

You pointed to the door. “Get out. If that’s all you thought of me, why keep me around?”

Jungkook sighed to himself before turning to leave. On the way, he turned back to look at you and his eyes caught something on your nightstand. A cupcake with a candle on it. Your mother had brought it up to you after she had come back from work.

No, Jungkook thought to himself. No, no, no. It wasn’t today.

“Oh shit, Y/N.”

“Just leave.”

Back at home, Jungkook was mentally beating himself up. Of course that was it. 

You were never jealous or angry at other girls. 

How could he forget your birthday? You’ve only been telling him about your ideas for plans for weeks. 

And now he made you even angrier by making such cruel accusations. 

Jungkook stared at his phone screen, multiple missed calls and messages from Soomin which he ignored. A few weeks ago, he would’ve responded to those in a heartbeat. But now? His only thoughts were on you and he didn’t know what to do with them.

You were supposed to be the most important girl in his life. He’d promised to himself even when he got a girlfriend, his best friend would always be his top priority. 

How did he manage to forget about you as soon as the opportunity to get a girlfriend came up?

And now, why couldn’t you leave his mind?

You didn’t bother to wait of for Jungkook the next morning. After what had happened last night, you didn’t want to see him. Sure, you might’ve been exaggerating when he forgot your birthday but after blaming you for being mad at him? That was a new low for Jungkook. 

“Y/N, you alright?” Jimin asked when he saw your frown. Smiling weakly at the boy, you nodded. 

“I’m all good––”

“Y/N!” 

Sighing to yourself, you sent Jimin an apologetic smile. “Sorry, I gotta go,” you said before walking in the direction opposite of the voice who called you.

“Stop running away from me! Please!” 

You turned around in your tracks and saw Jungkook pushing past people to get to you, his hair disheveled as if he’d been pulling at it and wearing mismatched clothes as if he threw them on in only a few seconds. Raising your eyebrows in surprise, you crossed your arms. 

“Jungkook! I’ve been looking for you for ages.” Jungkook stared in horror at Soomin who had just walked in front of him. 

“I uh––”

“Don’t worry this will be quick...” Jungkook looked up back at you as you kept your arms crossed across your chest, a look of impatience spread across your face. Looking back down at Soomin, he tilted his head in question as he tapped his foot, waiting to run toward you.

“Uh huh?”

“Well, I was wondering...” Jungkook looked back up at you only to find you were gone. 

“Hold on––” Jungkook cut her off and looked around again for any sign of you bt you were gone.

“Jeon Jungkook. What the hell is going on with you!?”

Soomin’s  harsh remark made Jungkook snap his gaze toward her. “Y/N...she’s mad at me,” Jungkook weakly pointed in the direction of where you just were.

“Not to sound like a bitch because she’s your best friend, but can you, like, forget her for a second? I’m asking you something important to me.”

“What?”

Before Soomin could repeat her question, she noticed Jungkook’s gaze. He was looking at her but he wasn’t focused. Jungkook was no longer looking at her the same way he used to. 

Sighing to herself, she shook her head and released a humorless chuckle. “You know what? Forget it. Go get your girl.”

Coughing, Jungkook furrowed his brows and tilted his head. “My girl?”

“Y/N. Go get her. I can see it now. I don’t know why I didn’t notice it before but I do now.”

“What? Notice what?”

“The way you look at Y/N? Hell, even when you’re not looking at her, you’re looking for her. I see the way you watch her, Jungkook. You can defend yourself however you’d like but I can see it. You look at her with desire, longing, whatever you want to call it.”

“I–What?”

“Just admit it, Jungkook. You have feelings for your best friend.”

Widening his eyes at Soomin’s claim, he shook his head profusely.

“N–No, no way. She’s my best friend. Always has been.’

“So you want to tell me she hasn’t been driving you nuts these past few days? She hasn’t been on your mind every second of the day and you can’t stop it?” Soomin then patted Jungkook’s shoulder, reassuringly. “Face it, dude. You like Y/N.”

“Oh my god.”

“Yeah, I know it’s hard to admit but you have to eventually. Y/N’s a great girl and I love her but she’s got another pining for her, too.”

Jungkook snapped his attention back to Soomin. “Jimin.” Jungkook knew he didn’t like Jimin for a reason. Turns out it was because he was jealous. He was the one who was jealous, not the other way around.

“What am I going to do?”

“Um, tell her?” 

“I can’t! She’s pissed at me!”

Soomin frowned, “What did you do?”

“I might’ve forgotten her birthday,” Jungkook scrathed the back of his neck and flinched at the look of anger spread across Soomin’s face.

“You what!?”

“It slipped my mind!”

“How are we going to fix this?”

“Wait, we?”

“Well, yeah. I like Y/N and the only person I see her with is you so I want to keep it that way.”

“Thank you, Soomin!”

“What was that earlier?” Jimin asked as you both walked down the hallway.

“Hm?”

“Walking away from Jungkook when he called you? Are you two alright? Tell me, Y/N,” Jimin asked, concern evident in his voice.

“Jungkook forgot my birthday yesterday and then when he tried to ask me why I was mad at him–which technically I wan’t mad, just disappointed–he ended saying some things I never thought he’d say.”

“I’m sorry for asking.”

“It whatever. He’s too consumed with Soomin to care, I guess.”

“Y/N, you and I both know that isn’t true.”

“What do you mean?”

“Jungkook cares about you so much,” Jimin assured.

“How do you know?”

“Did you see how defensive he got on our date? Thinking about it now, I think he was jealous.”

“Jungkook jealous? Sorry, that isn’t possible.”

“I saw it in his eyes. He watched you and scoffed when I said something that flattered you. He was definitely jealous.”

“But why?”

“Maybe he likes you.”

Shaking your head, you disagreed, “No way. He likes Soomin. That’s why I’ve been setting them up for weeks.”

“Maybe he thought he liked Soomin. Has he been trying to reach out to you? Well, obviously this morning, but besides that.”

“Yeah...he climbed a tree last night to get into my room.”

“You mean he pulled a Troy Bolton?” Jimin furrowed his eyebrows and you groaned.

“Yes he did.”

‘Yeah, he definitely likes you. Even if he doesn’t realize it himself.”

“Oh,” you mumbled, staring down at your feet.

“And judging by your reaction, I have a feeling you like him, too?”

“He’s my best friend! That’s all I thought he’d be! But he started hanging out more with Soomin and less with me and yeah, I missed him but when he forgot my birthday? That really hurt. It made think that maybe soon, he’ll just forget about me and stop hanging around me because I wasn’t ‘the only girl who didn’t throw themselves at him.”

“But?” Jimin raised his eyebrows, waiting for you to continue.

“But then I realized I wanted to be the only one. I thought it would’ve been great for him to get a girlfriend but after realizing where I’d be, I don’t believe that anymore. I know it’s selfish but he’s my Jungkook, you know?”

Jimin smiled softly and nodded. “I get it.”

“Listen, I’m really sorry. I’m sorry if it seems like I led you on––”

“No, no! It’s alright. Sure, I’m bummed we didn’t work out but as long as your happy...I am.”

You beamed at your new friend and pulled him into a bear hug. “What did I do to get you?”

“You didn’t have to do anything. Thank Soomin for that.”

The mention of her name made a frown appear on your face. You liked Soomin, you knew that. But now that you felt she was replacing you in Jungkook’s life, you couldn’t help but feel envious.

“What am I going to do?”

“I don’t know but you have to think of something quickly because turn around.”

Furrowing your eyes at Jimin’s order, you slowly turned around and a look of horror found its way on your face.

“Hi,” Jungkook murmured, curtly before looking down at his feet.

“Hi,” you released a short breath you didn’t realize you were holding in.

Taking in Jungkook’s appearance, your heart sank further down your chest. Not only was his hair a mess as you’d noticed earlier, but his eyes. He looked like he barely got any sleep and the inner caretaker in you wanted nothing more than to lecture him about the importance of rest.

“I uh,” Jungkook trailed off before averting his gaze to Jimin. Biting his bottom lip, he crossed his arms defensively.

Putting his hands up, Jimin widened his eyes. “I–i’m just gonna,” Jimin pointed behind him and walked backwards with a sheepish smile. Turning your head to shoot him a look of worry, he reassured you with a soft smile and two thumbs up. He turned around and continued down the nearly empty hallway.

Jungkook sighed to himself and took a step closer to you. “Y/N.”

“Huh?” You squeaked, wondering if Jungkook had heard what you said just minutes before.

“I have something to tell you...”

As if suddenly remembering why you were angry in the first place, you crossed your arms over you chest and scoffed.

“I know I haven’t been the greatest best friend lately and I really want to apologize,” Jungkook averted his gaze from yours for a split second before turning back to you to offer a weak smile.

“Uh-huh,” you squinted your eyes and pouted.

“Listen I uh, I’m really sorry I forgot your birthday yesterday. Believe me, I was hyping it up, too! But then you kept shoving Soomin in front of me and we became friends and it just...slipped my mind.”

“Oh, so I’m the reason you forgot?” You scoffed, looking away.

“N–No! I didn’t mean it like that, I swear! It’s just, since you were matchmaking us together, I spent more time with her.”

“So now you’re blaming Soomin? Jungkook, you’re not making this any better for yourself.”

“No! Y/N, please understand! You don’t know how bad I feel. You’ve been on my mind since yesterday and now I know why.”

Scrunching your eyebrows, you watched as he twitched and began to kick at the ground, nervously. “Why?”

“Because I’m in love with you.”

Choking on your own breath, you blinked rapidly. Looking around, bewildered, you made sure everything appeared to be normal. Did you hear Jungkook correctly?

“W–what?” You turned your head and strained your ears to hear him clearly.

“I’m in love with you.” This time the words rolled off Jungkook’s tongue so smoothly and you felt his confidence rising. “You may be my best friend, Y/N, but after not being with you for an entire day, I realized how dependent I was on you. You’re the one who makes me smile and you care for me in ways no one else has.”

“I...” you trailed off, more words unable to escape your mouth. 

“Besides, our last moments alone together? They’ve changed, don’t you think? From helping me with my tie to being alone in your room yesterday...is it only me or is there something there?”

Looking back on the moments Jungkook reminded you about, you felt your heart swell. You did stare at Jungkook oddly when fixing his tie. And the tension between you two the night before was definitely nothing like the environment you were used to. 

You swallowed a lump in your throat, “well...”

“Well?”

“The truth is...I thought if I set you up with someone, those deeply hidden feelings I have for you would completely dissipate once I saw you happy with another girl.”

“Wait, really? Setting me up with Soomin was for you?”

“Only partially. I knew you liked her and you know me, always meddling with your life,” you sheepishly chuckled at the end of your statement, “but, uh, yeah...Your happiness was my main priority.”

“Y/N!” Jungkook whined, taking another step closer to you. “Why couldn’t you just tell me? You didn’t have to hide–”

“Actually, I did. I’m your best friend, Kook. That’s all people ever saw me as and if that ever changed, who knew what people would think of me.”

“You’re not just my best friend, Y/N. I just told you I love you and I don’t mean it platonically.”

Peering at him, you realized he was right in front of you and you suddenly felt small compared to his larger and broader build. 

“You really do?” You squeaked, your cheeks as red as tomatoes.

“I do.”

“B–But...I’m supposed to be mad at you right now!” You stomped your foot childishly and pouted. How did he manage to change your mood so quickly?

Smiling boyishly, Jungkook took ahold of one of your hands. “I’ll take you out dinner every day of the week and pay. You can get whatever the hell you want but please, forgive me?” 

The mention of food caused your stomach to grumble. You looked down at your stomach for a split second before smiling sheepishly. 

“Okay, Kook. I forgive you,” you declared, watching the grin appear on Jungkook’s face. “But,” you held up your fee hand’s index finger, threateningly, “if you forget my birthday again, I’ll never talk to you again.”

“I won’t forget. I promise,” Jungkook grinned, swinging the hand you were holding forward so you were even closer to him.

“Uh–” Jungkook cut you off by pressing his lips to yours. You queezed your eyes shut, hoping this whole thing wasn’t a dream and you’d wake up once you pulled away.

“Is that Jungkook and Y/N?”

“They’re kissing!”

“I called it. Knew it since we were ten.”

You couldn’t help but smile against Jungkook’s lips at the comment’s you heard from around you. You thought if anything were to happen between you and Jungkook, judgement would be the reaction from others but now? You didn’t even care. All that mattered was that you were in Jungkook’s arms and the feelings you desperately tried to bury fully arose and you embraced them.

“We did it,” Jimin pulled one side of his lips up in a smile.

“We did,” Soomin nodded in agreement beside Jimin, both of them watching the entire thing.

“If it weren’t for us tangling into their lives, would they be together now?” Jimin wondered aloud, turning toward Soomin.

She scoffed, “I doubt it.”

“Hm, well, that wasn’t planned. Weren’t we supposed to be matchmade with them?”

“Yes, we were.” 

“I’m kind of glad we weren’t.”

“Me too.”

viiorels: "Kem." Mihai approaches Kem, his heart in his throat. He coughs to hide his nervousness. "Would you like to go out with me? On a date? It would just be for dinner. We could go after your patrol--" Mihai is rambling. He's so upended! "Because I have a crush on you. I have, for a while. And I know you might not feel the same way. That's fine. I just want to be around you."

☽║☾ Dark eyes widen, black eyelashes fluttering briefly. Surprise etches itself into his features, brows raised and cheeks flushed a lovely shade of red at Mihai’s sudden confession. He blinks, all thoughts coming to an abrupt stop. 

Of course it’s in typical Anubis fashion that he alsodrops everything including his weapon despite being on patrol to wrap his arms around Mihai, unable to stop himself from giving him a quick peck on the cheek. The blade clatters to the ground as Anubis threads a hand through Mihai’s dark locks, holding on so tightly as if he worried that it was all but an apparition and the man before him would disappear. 

( it was a hidden sorrow all gods knew-- the fragility of humanity. savor this moment, he thinks, all too emotional for a simple confession-- yet, here he was, trying to preserve time as if it were just another corpse to be embalmed. ) 

“How lucky could I be? That you would feel the same way I do... I-I want to spend all my time with you too, Mihai.” The words are nearly muffled, pressed into Mihai’s shoulder as the god gives the man one more squeeze before returning to an arm’s length away. His hand easily finds the other hunter’s and he gives a smile as warm as the sun’s gentle rays.

Yoongi x Reader x Jimin 

Genre: Angst/Fluff

Word Count: 3547

It was late by the time you got back to your dorms, but in your hands were bags full of groceries. After you and Jimin sobered up a bit, you two said farewell and parted ways for the night at the Han River. You decided to go along with his advice. Yoongi needed help and you still cared for him. Even if you weren’t together romantically anymore, it didn’t mean you had to stop caring. 

Yoongi was a stubborn one when he got sick. From the times he became ill during high school, you could vividly remember his extra grumpiness and attitude...especially when it came to food. He practically transformed into Gordon Ramsay taste testing food pulled from the dumpster while yelling at the garbage man for throwing away such worthless scraps of trash that they weren’t even worth being thrown in the garbage. Long story short: Yoongi was extremely picky and if he didn’t like something, he wouldn’t eat it. 

Well, he did always eat one thing: rice porridge. Now it sounds like there isn’t anything too fancy about rice porridge. Everyone and practically almost anyone can make it...but why was it special enough to get Yoongi’s taste buds’ attention? It wasn’t just any rice porridge that you always made for him, it was your family’s secret recipe rice porridge. You remembered how Yoongi’s older brother would always give you a phone call to come over and make some of it whenever Yoongi caught a cold because he refused to eat anything else. Even when he broke his shoulder, the only thing he’d eat was your rice porridge 

Making this porridge brought back so many memories...especially of Yoongi. Perhaps that was why you never made the porridge after your breakup with him. It’s been quite some time since you last made it, and you feared that you had forgotten the recipe a long time ago, but your muscle memory seemed like it didn’t give out on you. Like a machine, your hands and body moved without instruction chopping away at the vegetables, washing out the rice and boiling it over the small gas stove. By the time you were done, you were so tired from practice and from the remaining alcohol in your system that you just shut off the stove and slumped down into one of the chairs at the dining table and slept for the rest of the night.

The dorm was quiet and everyone was most likely asleep. He was still a little tipsy from the alcohol, but he tried to be as quiet as possible as he stumbled through the apartment. Jin was asleep on the couch, his head hanging over the back and his mouth wide open. He must’ve fallen asleep while playing his Mario game since the television was still shining brightly playing the tunes of the theme song. Jimin went to one of the cupboards and pulled out an extra blanket to lay on top of his hyung while placing one of the cushions under Jin’s neck so that it’d hurt less in the morning. He shut off the television and put away the game before heading down the hall to his room. 

A faint stream of light sliced through the corridor and it made Jimin curious. Was someone still awake?  He noticed that the light was coming from a small creek made by the door of Yoongi and Jin’s room. Jimin wasn’t surprised to see Yoongi still awake. He knew all about his hyung’s troubles sleeping during the night. 

Jimin decided to stop and check to see if Yoongi was okay. Behind the door, Jimin could make out the sight of a sleeping Yoongi hunched over his desk with the lamp still illuminated. Jimin sighed thinking that his hyungs really needed to learn how to sleep properly. Carefully, he entered the room without waking Yoongi up and grabbed his comforter from his bed. He then draped the blanket over his hyung and made sure that he was completely covered. 

Yoongi’s desk was a complete mess. There were sticky notes posted everywhere, crumpled pieces of paper were littered about and countless pens were scattered from the knocked over pen holder in the corner of the desk. It must have been one hell of a writing session for Yoongi to be this messy, Jimin thought. 

He was going to shut the light and leave the mess for Yoongi to clean in the morning when he noticed that Yoongi was sleeping on one of his notebooks. Jimin was worried that Yoongi was going to drool on it, so he went to remove the book when suddenly something caught his eye. In between the leaf-thin pages, a small pointed corner belonging to something like a postcard or a business card was sticking out. Normally, Jimin wouldn’t stick his nose into places where it didn’t belong, but his curiosity and the alcohol was pushing him to be nosy just this once. 

Making sure he didn’t wake Yoongi up, Jimin nimbly gripped the corner and pulled out whatever was hiding in the book. It wasn’t a postcard. It wasn’t a business card. It was a photo. 

He looked at the picture then at Yoongi then back at the picture,

“No way...” he muttered under his breath, “Isn’t this...no...I must be drunk...” 

Yoongi stirred in his sleep and startled Jimin. Frantically, he shoved the photo back where he had found it and left just as quickly as he had entered.

His brain couldn’t wrap around any idea as to why he’d have that photo, and when he looked at it, something started to tug at his heart. Why did it hurt so much? 

“Yah...Y/N-ah...yah!” You were shaken awake by Sun Hee to towered over you with a toothbrush in her mouth. Every joint in your body felt too tight, but after a much-needed stretch they loosened up a bit. A loud yawn escaped your gaping mouth as you widened yourself in your chair,

“Oh...good morning, unnie.” 

“Yah.” Sun Hee grabbed her toothbrush and threatened to hit you with it, “Where did you go last night?” She came closer and took in a whiff of your scent, “Aish, you smell like alcohol. Did you go drinking?” 

“Unnie, you don’t need to baby me. And yes, I went out to have a drink.”

“Alone?”

“No, I wasn’t alone.”

“Then who were you with?”

“I was with...a friend.”

“A friend? A friend like...Jimin, perhaps?” She squealed and poked you relentlessly. Not minding the foamy mess made from her toothbrush, she pulled out a chair beside you and slipped in it still continuously poking at your shoulder. It took all your power not to shove her out of her chair,

“Yes, unnie. Yes, I was with Jimin, and yes, he counts as a friend.”

“Hmm,” Sun Hee scooted closer to you, the chair dragged against the floor, “Are you sure he’s just ‘a friend’?” 

“Oh c’mon, unnie. Stop with the whole matchmaking shit.”

“What? I just want to know how you got not only Yoongi but now Jimin looking at you...could you teach me your ways?” 

“Yah, stop joking around, unnie. Jimin and I just friends.”

“Spending time together alone...dancing together alone...going to dinner alone...having drinks alone! You can’t say that you’re just friends.”

“Why is it so hard for me to have a friend of the opposite sex?”

“Fine, let’s say that you two are just friends. But don’t you feel anything? Like anything at all when...you know...he looks at you? Because trust me, Y/N-ah, he looks at you like he’s in love.”

You pushed her shoulder harshly with a snort, “Nuh-uh. He...he doesn’t look at me that way.......does he?” 

Your mind flashed back to the night before. The view across the Han River was stunning, the lights of Seoul twinkled in the night. It was absolutely breathtaking, so when you turned to Jimin you were confused because he wasn’t looking at the view. He was looking at you with sparkling eyes and his cheeks were painted an adorable rosy pink. 

You couldn’t help but feel the beats in your heart thump faster as you recalled the scene from last night. Heat radiated from your face and you hid your burning cheeks behind your hands. Sun Hee grinned wildly as she got closer to you, the foam from the toothbrush now staining your shoulder as she rested her chin on the crook of your neck,

“Ahhhhh, is my little Y/N smitten? I didn’t know you had a thing for younger guys!”

“W-What? No, I am not! I’m just...”

“You’re just in looooooove.” She pinched your cheek roughly and ran off before you could hit her,

“YAH! I TOLD YOU I’M NOT!” 

Jimin’s mind was still racing trying to decipher if what he saw was a dream or if it was real. Just the thought of Yoongi possessing such a thing made his hands clench into fists. He didn’t know that a simple photograph would overpower him so much. 

“Aren’t you Park Jimin-ssi?” Jimin looked up from his spot in the hall. He had almost forgotten that he was in Music Box on his way to the studio to watch you film. All that heavy thinking must’ve caused him to stop in the middle of the corridor. 

Jimin watched as the figure from down the hall approached him, “Yes, I am.”

Hearing Jimin’s confirmation made the man smile, “I’m Baek Ji Bin.”

“Ahh, yes, I’m so sorry I didn’t recognize you before, Baek PD-nim.” 

“Oh, no need to apologize, my boy! Are you here for Y/N?"

“Yeah, I am.” With a heavy hand smashed against Jimin’s back, Baek PD pushed him down the hall towards the studio where you were filming,

“I was going to see her myself! Jimin-ssi, I wanna thank you.”

“Thank me? For what?”

“I hear you helped out Y/N with the dance cover project! From what I hear, you’ve helped her practically perfect the dance.”

“I mean...she didn’t really need my help. She’s so amazing already, so it was her who really did all the work. I kinda just gave her small tips and watched her most of the time.”

“But just being there is enough for her. Your song...it really means a lot to her.”

“Does it?”

“Yeah, it really does. As a CEO of an entertainment company, I really shouldn’t have any favorites amongst our trainees and artists, but Y/N is like a daughter to me. I, actually, personally scouted her on the street when I was out shopping. The fire and passion that I saw within her as I saw her dance during her street performance were what attracted me to her and told me that she was going to make it big. But then when she came to Music Box...something changed. 

She was nice and polite and friendly. She constantly wore a smile and was meticulous on learning all her sunbaes’ names and making sure she greeted them in the halls. But all of that happiness...it was fake, I could tell. One night I had to stay late to finish up some phone calls and paperwork and on my way out I saw that the lights in the studio were still on. I went and I looked to see who was still there, and I saw Y/N. She was on the floor gasping for air after dancing whatever she was dancing...and she was also crying. I went in and as soon as she heard the door creek, she wiped away all her tears and greeted me with that fake smile of her’s. I asked her what was wrong and she just shook her head and told me that there wasn’t anything wrong and that she was okay. Of course, I didn’t buy her lies. I told her to stop lying to herself because she obviously wasn’t okay. That night, I lent her an ear as she finally poured out all her feelings.

So I guess she picked your song because she did lie to herself...she was caught in her own lie.”

“Oh, wow....”

“So you being there to help her...it really means a lot.” 

Jimin and Baek PD eventually reached the dance studio where you and the backup dancers had already finished filming, “Ah, Y/N! You’re already done?” 

With a small sweat breaking from your skin, you ran over from the other side of the studio to the door where Baek PD and Jimin stood, 

“Yes, we just wrapped things up. It wasn’t that hard, it only took a couple of takes. I’ll be sure to look at the footage and make sure it’s edited by tonight so that I can send the final copy in tomorrow morning.”

Your eyes widened as you noticed Jimin standing beside Baek PD, “Oh, Jimin? You came!”

“I did...but it seems I’m a bit too late, huh?”

“You’re not too late, my boy!” Baek PD patted Jimin’s back once again in a very hard manner, “Why don’t you come with us? I was planning on buying Y/N and all the backup dancers dinner.”

“Um, I don’t want to intrude...”

“Y/N, do you mind if I invite Jimin-ssi?”

You shook your head, “Of course, I don’t mind...actually I was going to call you and see if you wanted to join us.”

After seeing you happily agree with Baek PD, there was no way Jimin could decline the offer.

You and Jimin sat on the floor around the table along with all the backup dancers. Across from you, Baek PD was happily eating away at all the food and meat he had purchased in this one hell of a feast. The two of you sat next to one another and you felt some sort of weird sense of awkwardness coming from him. To you, Jimin seemed a bit tense. It worried you and you wondered what had gotten him like this, but Baek PD’s constant blabbering prevented you from asking Jimin what was wrong. 

You cowered in fear because Baek PD had consumed one too many drinks which meant serious second-hand embarrassment was headed your way. Baek PD would spit nonsense and sometimes ask very embarrassing questions when drunk, and with Jimin present...that was all the more reason to fear what he would say, 

“So...Jimin-ssi...Y/N-ah...”

“Yes?” You and Jimin responded in unison.

“What...what are you two anyway?” Baek PD swayed back and forth in his seat and you and Jimin looked to each other warily, 

“What do you mean?” You asked.

“Like...what...what is your relationship? You two seem...awfully close.”

Immediately you noticed just how close you were sitting next to Jimin. From where you were sitting on the floor, your leg happened to be grazing Jimin’s. Jimin also had noticed and almost simultaneously, you both scooted a little bit away from each other obviously flustered. It wasn’t like it was your faults for sitting that close, there were many other people sitting around the table and their bodies ended up smooshing you and Jimin together. But even then, even when you mentally made up excuses in your brain, that didn’t explain why you were so flustered and why Jimin was blushing so much.

“Uh...um,” You began to answer, “I’d say we’re pretty close. I mean, we just recently met, but I feel like we’ve known each other for a while...” 

“Mmm...pretty close, huh? ...Jimin-ssi...” He reached across the table and gestured for Jimin’s hand which Jimin politely gave, “Jimin-ssi...”

“Y-Yes?” Jimin look over to him with much confusion and all you could do was hide your face behind you hands dreading whatever Baek PD was about to say,

“Please take good care of my Y/N-ah...” The statement caused both you and Jimin to get all flustered.

You moved from your seat and onto your knees and tried to stop Baek PD “B-Baek PD...what nonsense are you saying now? ...Jimin, I am so sorry he’s a bit...”

He continued without minding you, “She’s a kind-hearted soul who just needs some mending...remember how I told you that story...about when Y/N was a trainee?”

A palm slammed itself on your forehead and you slumped down as you rolled your eyes, 

Oh god, he told Jimin that stupid story...

“Y/N-ah...she was pretending to be okay...but...but all she needs is to mend that broken heart of her’s...”

“Broken heart?” The entire time Jimin didn’t know what to do, but when he heard that you had a broken heart he suddenly gained much interest.

“You know what she said to me that night when I found her crying? She said...she said how she wasn’t good enough and when I asked her why she thought that she wasn’t good enough....she said that someone left her...someone left because they had bigger ambitions...ambitions that she thought she wasn’t good enough to take part in with that person...”

“Baek PD, I think you’ve had enough drinks...why don’t I call your secretary and get you h...” Once again your attempt to stop Baek PD failed as he continued,

“And I told her...told her to be confident and to prove to that person that she is worth it...and that’s how she is today...that’s the passion that compels her to perform...she became stronger but I know that she’s still a little fragile and needs someone to care for her. So Jimin-ssi...please...please be careful...”

Your head rested against the wooden table as you silently cried in embarrassment to yourself. You felt that Jimin was probably freaking the hell out and that maybe he wouldn’t want to see you anymore because it’d be too awkward. But what he said in response to Baek PD surprised you, and you didn’t know what this feeling in your chest really meant,

“Don’t worry, Baek PD-nim,” Jimin took his other hand and placed it on top of Baek PD’s, “I’ll take good care of her.”

Everyone filed out of the restaurant, the night sky had already claimed all of Seoul. You sent Baek PD off in a cab and called his secretary to make sure to meet the taxi back at his home and to take good care of him. Soon, it was just you and Jimin standing out in the empty street.

“Um, I’m sorry about Baek PD. He gets...vocal when he’s drunk...”

“It’s no problem. I’ve seen worse.”

You laughed in relief. It seemed that Jimin didn’t feel awkward around you because of Baek PD and you were happy that he was still comfortable speaking with you, “Oh, I have something for you.”

From in your bag, you pulled out a large thermos filled with the porridge you made last night, “I made some porridge and I think I made too much, so I thought I’d give you some.”

“Wow, thanks, Y/N. I didn’t know you could cook.” His face lit up as he cradled the thermos in his hands.

“Cooking is like a comforting hobby for me...and the porridge... it also helps with colds...maybe Yoongi would like some too.”

Jimin stopped roaming his thumb across the metal surface when the mention of Yoongi’s name popped up. That tense aura that Jimin possessed while ago reformed and a small smile forced its way up the side of his face, 

“He’s had trouble eating, but I’m sure hyung would like to have some... You seem to care a lot for Yoongi-hyung.”

“Oh, d-do I? It’s just that he’s a fellow colleague and as a fellow colleague, I’m just a little worried.....”

“Yeah, I get it... It’s getting late. We should probably head back.”

“We probably should...so I’ll see you sometime soon?”

“I’m sure we’ll see each other soon. See you later, Y/N.” Jimin turned and started to walk in the other direction, but before he could get too far you grabbed his wrist,

“And Jimin...I’ll take good care of you too.” You let go and ran away before Jimin could respond. It wasn’t like he could respond anyway. He was completely speechless as his face started to turn a bright red. 

The dorm was almost completely empty when Jimin came back. Namjoon was at the studio, Taehyung and Jin were probably hanging out with their other friends and Jungkook and Hoseok were probably practicing some dance. It was just poor sickly Yoongi left behind at the dorm. 

Jimin peered down at the thermos in his hands. A part of him appreciated that you gave him the porridge, but another part of him hated it. He hated how he felt like he knew that the porridge probably wasn’t meant for him. But the soft and caring side of him overpowered the scorn within him and he went to Yoongi’s room to see if he wanted some of your porridge to eat. 

It wasn’t a surprise again to see Yoongi sleeping. Yoongi looked so serene, so content...so...okay. It irritated Jimin, 

‘Bigger ambitions’, huh? Nothing should’ve been bigger than being with her.

Epic Korra Fanfic Plug Time!

I can't believe i didn't know about this story till now!! first chapter and i'm already hooked :D

I suppose it's time to plug my Korrasami fic—but this time, with reader quotes!

Now... as for that last scene... I must admit that I've read hundreds, if not thousands, of korrasami fics, and by far, yours is the one with the most fidelity to each character's personality. Not that it is necessarily a bad thing when writers write characters OOC, but it's a wonderful thing to read the characters in their element, especially since we still don't have comics... ugh, the wait is killing me! So this is a very nice breath of fresh air.

I love these characters! My fundamental goal is to continue the characters and world we love from the show as smoothly as possible, while getting to explore them deeply. I don't have a 13 episode time-limit, so I can dwell and linger and explore all those many, many open threads the show left us!

And wow. That Korrasami ending was just wow. It was raw, touching and moving. Exactly what I look for in Korrasami fics. You've got yourself a fan.

Have to admit, I enjoy the gushing. Here's more!

Ahhhhh! I love this! It has what I want from a Legend of Korra story! Korra/Asami, Korra *and* Asami being awesome together and apart, with their own storylines.

Our two leading gals are front and center, and they deserve nothing less! Their relationship hits the ground running—they have a lot of emotional baggage to catch each other up on. Still, they are very in love and very dorky and that's just wonderful.

Admittedly, I read this chapter a few times. Or at least the korrasami parts, because I’m a huge sap. I know. Sue me. It’s your fault for writing fluff so damn well.

And apparently others agree! Not that it's a fluff-centric fic... far from it.

Ugh. Why don't you rip my heart out and throw it in a shredder, why don'cha?! All whining aside, one of the things I love the most about this story is that you're taking the time to ask all the hard questions that were left open-ended when the show ended. In a way, that was good because--aaah ma guudness, look at all the lovely fanfics! But on the other hand, they were NAGGING questions, and not every fanfic has covered them! Jeesh! But we're so lucky you decided to write this!

I've been writing for years, but never ventured into fanfic before. Korra is something special to me—in my personal life, certainly. But also, so few shows end so openly—the series resolved well, but there's still so many questions up in the air! (Plus, more than a few nagging little plot holes that are easily fixed by filling them with angst.)

Wow (as the little Asami's would say) this is one of the best fanfics I've read in a while; I really like the way you are handling all of the arcs and base part of the story on plot holes left by te series. Something tells that the Avatarvetse is going through the a series of revolutions similar to those of the end of the 19th century + some more modern movements, I really like the parallels, specially with what is going on with the red lotus and fire nation. I generally don't like OCs in fanfics, but yours are really interesting, I specially like Nuktik. He has so many things to deal with! Can't wait till Korra gets to the fire nation to Deal With everything, give the poor kid a break (and some more loving!). I'll be waiting for the update, I bet it's gonna be great (but take your time!)

Revolutions? Isn't this a Korrasami fic? Well, yes, it very much is, but the scope is way broader than our two favorite gals. They're both major world leaders and the world is still in flux. The decisions Asami and Korra make will impact how all that turns out. No pressure!

As for original characters—there's a few. Just as every season introduced a few new faces to the cast, to compliment the plot and expand the world. But if there's anybody in the show you're looking for, odds are that they're in here. I think right now Tahno and Gommu are the only characters 'of note' that haven't been included to some degree? Did you even remember who Gommu was?

I have to compliment to you, because you're expanding this fiction to a lot of Avatar's world we didn't see, at least in Korra's days. It seems kinda difficult to manage all this mess, but you're doing it extremely well.

I'm honestly surprised myself how well I'm pulling some of it off! Come for the Korrasami fluff—and there's a LOT of fluff, especially early—stay to watch me juggle.

As you can tell, I'm rather well... invested in your fic. It's been a great ride so far and your writing is superb! Especially considering the many threads you are weaving. Yours is a thoroughly engaging tale and I'll be waiting eagerly for the next chapter.

Luckily, they didn't have to wait for long—other than a brief hiatus during winter break, I've been updating this fic consistently every two weeks. I've got chapters pre-written nearly through the finale, and I know how this all ends... it is gonna be great. Also, lengthy.

The writing is so smooth and nearly flawless that it's not a hard read, which is always a plus especially when reading fics. The characters behave so closely to canon that it just feels natural. Basically, things that are normally hard for fic writers to accomplish seem so effortless here, which is one of the main reasons I'll keep reading. Also, the concept of guns in the avatar universe is a really interesting idea and I really want to see how that plays out and how Korra and Asami's views will clash. I feel it's a very good conflict to bring up and in some ways it might even end up as a commentary on how guns are treated in our world, I'll just have to keep reading and see. Lovely chapter!

Of course I point out compliments to my writing, but... guns? They're not the central focus of the story—that's the characters, and Korrasami in particular—but they are the aspect that sets it apart from other fics. It's not exactly a spoiler—they get brought up in chapter 1—but I was way more interested in how the various characters react to them than the guns themselves. I love this world and I love it's characters... but as a writer, I'm interested in action, and consequence. There's not much more direct a metaphor for that than pulling a trigger.

The story is not pro-gun. The story is not anti-gun. The story is one in which guns exist... and the world has to figure out what that means.

Alright, let me just say that I am very upset right now. I have now caught up with this amazing, intense, well written, and complex story, and Korra STILL has not found out about the guns!!! Like seriously yo! I don't even know why I want the drama that's gonna happen as much as I do but I NEED IT! It probably has something to do with the fact that you write fluff so well that I'm positive the angst and drama that's about to be unleashed is gonna be ASTOUNDING!!

Somebody gets it.

Oh. My. God.

Yaaasss!!! This chapter was amazing in every way. I've been waiting too long for the 'shit hits the fan' chapter but it was definitely worth it.

The worst part there is... the shit had only begun to hit the fan.

I'm so madddddddd. Ughhhh. You're so awesome though, why you do this? Anyway, very much good luck to you in grad school (yikes!) And specially kudos to you for taking on this beast of a story as eloquently as you have in the midst of that (I myself barely hang). But yeah. Update soon! (End this perpetually familiar agony!)

But as bad as things get in this story—and they do wind up getting pretty bad—that's all a down-payment on the triumph I have planned for the end. How well can Asami and Korra weather this storm? Spoilers: I love them and would never leave them unhappy. But getting there... That's where the fun is.

You want mad? I'm mad!!

Not really. This is one of the best expansive fics around and I'm super stoked you keep updating it. All the different plot lines are well thought out even as they twist around each other and meet up. Can't wait for more!

So maybe give the fic a shot, guys! I promise, there's so many threads being explored, at least a few will speak to you. All you have to do is click on these words right here, I even made it easy for you! (Completely perfect cover picture courtesy of drakyx. Visit her tumblr for more excellent art!)
