Knuxouge for day 3 of Shipmas ❤️🤍🎁

The Knuxouge ship bait in the latest twitter take over was so cute

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

really wish my one friend would quit flirting with me. and trying to goad me into hanging out more. and assigning us fictional characters that are oh-so-coincidently either couples or with romantic tension. and then interrupting our gameplay to ask me repeatedly if I think they’re “like us” (which they rarely are…). and matching my icon on discord without asking (again, usually by insinuating a couple connection). and giving me random things I do not want and did not ask to receive (and then forcing me to take them???).

Kind of losing my mind over the fact that Patton received a homemade card for Secret Santa two years in a row like… I know he’s the one who would actually appreciate that kind of gift but surely it has to get annoying at some point

[bitfruity]

why has it been so tame lately? what happened to showing ass and squaring over dildos? he was moaning for santa to come a couple days ago

and then santa comes and that’s it?? i’m gonna need more than that babe😩

Late to the party I know because I've been out of fandom this past month (my country called a surprise election VERY unexpectedly, which means I got too busy for any fun stuff 😩 or for any writing that wasn't for work), but I'm VERY excited about Dragon Age: The Veilguard and what we've seen of it so far!

Hope you've all been well ❤️

what do you think clem‘s love language is? 🫶🏻

ooo clem feels like a mix of gift giving and words of affirmation for me? he just loves spoiling you i think, and it doesn't have to be expensive things; he's attentive and knows you well enough to buy you super sweet things that mean a lot even no matter the cost. a pretty bracelet to match your newest necklace, a bouquet of flowers in your favorite colors, those candies you were talking about craving the other day... and even just small things that he sees during his travels that remind him of you, like little trinkets or books, or bringing home your favorite takeout after he knows you've had a long day. and it means so much for him when you show your appreciation for the stuff he gives you!! he loves to see your eyes light up and the big smile you can't hold back, and he just dies for that feeling of your hugs as you thank him over and over again. :((

i think words of affirmation is definitely something he likes to give, but it's mainly his receiving language (is that how you say it?...) !! he doesn't really like to admit it, but it's easy to figure out because he practically glows when you compliment him. he definitely loves it when you praise his looks etc, but he especially loves more personal stuff like "i can tell you worked really hard on this" or "you did your best" or "i'm proud of you" 🥺

PS. I'm open to requests.

10th day of christmas - Gift Giving

PSA. It's been a couple of very busy days and I haven't had much time to write but I'm trying my best. Hope this brings you some joy on Christma's Eve, at the very least.

Nyxmas - Drabble

The announcement that Nyx would be choosing his own gifts for Solstice this year-round was met sceptically. When Feyre and Rhys had both looked at each other with confused looks on their faces – mainly because they couldn’t quite understand how a six-year-old would be choosing any gifts without their help – Nyx had simply given them a determined frown and left the room without a glance back.

For days, both Rhys and Feyre had tried to convince him – to trick him, really – to let them help, but such efforts were often met with unimpressed looks and, at one specific time, a cold shoulder that had lasted until he had forgotten about it (which is to say ten minutes later).

Mor, too, had apparently been unsuccessful. When she had taken him shopping, Nyx had returned with a pleased smile on his face, his hands remarkably empty of any bags or gifts. Mor, for one, had slumped against the couch in defeat, looking at both Rhys and Feyre with a desperate sort of look on her face.

“He couldn’t be more your child if he tried.” She had said.

And that had been that.

As Feyre watched her son make his way towards her and Rhys, she finally understood why, exactly, Mor thought so.

In his hands was a too large, poorly-wrapped present – a clear sign he had refused any help yet again – but on his face pride shone as brightly as the stars in his eyes. It was obvious how proud of himself he was, just as it was obvious how much he wanted to make his family happy. By the delighted look on everyone’s faces when they had each received their gifts, there was no doubt in Feyre’s mind he had achieved exactly that.

Laughter had been a steady companion throughout the night as Nyx handed out his presents – his favourite book for Nesta (even though Feyre wondered what book Rhys would now read to him before bedtime), his favourite toy for Cassian (which he was only allowed to play with, with Nyx), an invisibility blanket for Azriel (“for the garden” he had said, and though it had made no sense to Feyre or Rhys, the blush on the Shadowsinger’s cheeks hadn’t gone unnoticed) and a beautiful silver comb for Mor (Feyre was slightly relieved she had finally found her favourite comb, even if a little upset it now apparently belonged to Mor).

As Feyre and Rhys opened their gift, however, tears filled everyone's eyes.

On the canvas in front of them was a painting of their family. Morrigan, with her blonde hair and red dress; Amren, her frame purposely short in a way that ought to make her complain about it in the future; Cassian and Nesta were side by side on one side of the canvas, while Elain and Azriel stood together on the other. In the middle stood Feyre - hair so long it nearly brushed the ground - and Rhys - a cheeky smile on his face and only one wing on display. Nyx, naturally, stood in the middle of them all, a full set of teeth grinning instead of the toothy grin he now gave them, waiting for everyone's reactions with a bated breath. In the night sky surrounded by them, the word Family was written in a sloppy scrawl that could only belong to Nyx - a word Feyre knew he had only learned to write a few weeks ago due to the insistent teachings of his dad.

“You painted this alone, my love?” Feyre asked, pride burning hot inside her chest.

Nyx smiled sheepishly. “Aunt Mor helped.”

Mor quickly objected. “I only helped him line the figures. In fact, he pretty much kicked me out of the room the second I offered to help him prepare whatever colours he needed.” She said, smiling knowingly at Nyx.

"Can I hang it in my office?" Rhys asked. 

Nyx's eyes widened. "Really?"

"Of course, love." Rhys kissed his temple. "It'd be an honour." 

Nyx smiled sheepishly at his dad, his cheeks rosy at the rising excitement surrounding him. Feyre pressed a kiss to his head before he ran off to hand Elain her gift. She could only watch him, something akin to wonder on her face as she watched him Her little boy who had a heart so big he had decided to give everyone a meaningful gift; who was already so independent he had decided to do it all on his own.

I really think we did. And what a blessing it was to see their son become everything that was good about Rhys, everything that was good about her.

We did good with him, didn't we? Rhysand's voice was as proud as she felt.

Mor, too, seemed to see it all. “Like I said," She shrugged, speaking to her and Rhysand only. "He’s your son through and through.”

Last January I started working on this challenge. It had a handful of prompts for each month with the goal being to create content for your OTP(s) each month.

I started on January’s prompt (First Kiss) and never finished it. I wrote some for June’s prompt (First Vacation), but didn’t finish.

But I’m nearing the end of January’s prompt fill (currently 3k words) and I mean to carry this challenge over in to next year because I did/do have ideas for almost all the months! Some of them are part of my greater AUs, but some were stand alone ideas, or part of new AUs.
