YOU GUYS!!! I DID IT! I HAVE WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED OVER ONE MILLION WORDS ON AO3!!!
I have been on AO3 almost 1 year and 1 month now and my initial goal was to reach that milestone before one year once I realized how close I was, but it took me a few weeks past that. But holy hell. I have written SO much and I can't even believe it. And most of that is juat Matt Murdock fics šŸ˜… Y'all I am not okay when it comes to him. Clearly.
Okay, but now I'm wondering how long before I reach two million words?

Payneland/DBDA fanfic recs
Tumblr media
I'm celebrating 200 fics (yes I keep count, I'm a nerd) and over a million words read in these 3 months of dbd šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰
SO here are a few of my all time favorites (trying not to mention too many of the already very known ones):
Joi de Vivre, by olympus_mons
my very first fave, explores Edwin's longing so so well. And the ending, bittersweet and so loving, uGH I LOVE THEM
---
wanted to be something (you couldn't put down), by Ink_stained_quills
also one of the firsts, so very well written and great feelings realization with a bit of misunderstanding to make it sweet
---
Of a youth who loves me, by Aliquis
ok yes this series is pretty famous but I can't just not mention it. it's so sweet and tender and aAAAAAAAaaa. just go read it. just go.
---
job officially jobbed, by vernesatlas
e-rated, so it's +18 only! canon divergent and really just the right fic to follow up the handjob comment. as simple as that. I needed it deep in my bones and it's so fucking hot
---
The Most Tender Place In My Heart, by coloursflyaway
also famous, although not as much as some of the others by the same author, but this is the best one in my opinion. the way edwin is open about his feelings here, the memories painting the whole picture, the way you can see charles working things out, it's so beautiful
---
dulcet tones of broken bones, by gremlininthemachine
this one HURTS. it's a lot of angst, let me tell you that. it feels very true to Edwin's character. mind the tags if there's anything you feel is too much for you. I cried several times. it was amazing. the ending is hopeful, but not entirely conclusive, as there might be a sequel coming on. ALSO it's not really payneland centric, but anyway it was maybe the most emotional any fic has made me in a long time
---
the ghost of the past that you live in, by ObsessedWithFandom
EXPLORING CHARLES' BISEXUALITY YESSSS I wanted something like this so much! really liked how it was played out, how each experience puzzled itself into his identity. the OCs are great. really lovely all around
---
Who? You mean your teammate in the Codependency World Cup?, by RoseGanymede95
this is also a series and I still haven't read the unfinished ones, but the first two are amazing. those are case fics through and through, pre-canon, and I just LOVE their dynamic even if not explicitly romantic, and also the cases themselves and how Charles acts and UGH EVERYTHING, really highly recommend these
---
Nothing Left to Hide, by RoseGanymede95
listen this person is incredible what can I say. this is a very needed unpacking of hell's aftermath, mostly about how Charles is doing after seeing what he saw. it's a big hurt/comfort on this one. big on both. ugh so good
Well there's that. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

Yandere! CEO (+Assistant Reader)
Tumblr media
A/N : Yan Ceo's name was taken from šŸŽ§anon's suggestion of names! Reblogs and notes are appreciated <3
T/W : Obsessive behaviour, possessive behaviour, implied murder, etc
Event Masterlist šŸŽ‰
ā€¢ā”ˆā€¢ā€¢āœ¦ šŸŽ€āœ¦ā€¢ā€¢ā”ˆā€¢šŸ’Œā€¢ā”ˆā€¢ā€¢āœ¦ šŸŽ€ āœ¦ā€¢ā€¢ā”ˆā€¢
šŸ’ŒYandere! CEO who owns a multi million dollar company. He was a successful business man in his field. His life was a dream to many other, he was good looking, intelligent, charismatic, surrounded by men and women and are practically drowning in his wealth.
šŸŽ€Yandere! CEO who's life were bleak and filled with nothingness, everyday seems to drag on and on. He had since lost the spark he once had when he first started his company.
šŸ’ŒYandere! CEO who met you, a new intern at his company. He wasn't interested in you at first until he heard you spoke with your higher ups. You were intelligent, every words you utter stunned him even more. You've caught his attention and it's your worst mistake.
šŸŽ€Yandere! CEO who uses his power and connections to dig into your personal information from your likes and dislikes to your home address, wanting to learn more about you. He can't seems to get you out of his head!
šŸ’ŒYandere! CEO who approaches you one day with an offer to become his assistant, the spot being empty after he had disposes of his previous one. With you being his assistant, he can now observe you even closer and also to prevent your coworkers from interacting with you.
"Keep your eyes on me, Assistant (Last Name)"
šŸŽ€Yandere! CEO who was content with admiring you from afar while also eliminating potential rivals that could stand in his way of pursuing you. However as he was being swarmed with mountains of projects and paperworks, you slipped from his grasp and into the hands of someone else's.
šŸ’ŒYandere! CEO who gives into his desire of locking you up in his expensive penthouse where you have no way of escaping. Not with the tight security he has and the red rope tied around your ankles to his bed. No, he won't let you escape him again.
Yan ceo lowkey inspired by Jumin from mysme
Drabble under the cut!
"Good morning, my love. I hope my men didn't knock you out too hard yesterday" Kenzo walked into the bedroom with a smile on his face.
You struggled in your bonds as you looked at him fearfully. Your former boss was now standing at the edge of the king sized bed you were tied to.
"W-what's the meaning behind this, s-sir?"
The only thing you remembered from last night was you working overtime and as you were preparing to leave the building, you were dragged into a black van and were sedated.
"Isn't it obvious? You're here because I love you, (Name). I've always have for a long time"
Kenzo placed a gloved hand on your cheek, tilting your head to face him. Loving black irises clashes with your fearful (E/C) ones.
"L-love? This isn't love! Let me go this instant, sir!"
His hold on your face tighten as he placed a finger on your lips, shutting you up.
"No can do. I've learnt my lesson with letting you out of my sight. From now, I'm the only one who you can see, the only one who you can talk to and the only one who you can love"

Health and Hybrids (XIX)šŸ‘½šŸ‘»šŸ’š
[I can't remember the original prompt posters Ā for the life of me but here's a mashup between a cryptid!Danny, presumed-alien!Danny, dp x dc, and the prompt made the one body horror meat grinder fic.]
PART ONE is here PART TWO is here PART THREE is here PART FOUR is here and PART FIVE is here PART SIX is here and PART SEVEN is here PART EIGHT is here PART NINE is here PART TEN is here PART ELEVEN is here PART TWELVE is here PART THIRTEEN is here PART FOURTEEN is here PART FIFTEEN is here PART SIXTEEN is here PART SEVENTEEN is here PART EIGHTEEN is here...nineteen...oy vey.
šŸ’š Ao3 Is here for all parts (now featuring mediocre mouseover translations, only available on a computer)
Where we last left off... THE BART RETURNS! The earth rejoices! šŸ„³šŸŽ‰ Physical therapy can be fun, even if it usually isn't!
Trigger warnings for this story: Ā body horror | gore | post-dissection fic | dehumanization (probably) | Ā my nonexistent attempts at following DC canon. On with the show.
šŸ’ššŸ‘»šŸ‘½šŸ‘»šŸ’š
Danny learns a few more words with practice.
Foda is simple. If Danny is hungry, he can ask for foda. It sounds exactly like food, and when he asks, they feed him.
ā€¦Or they up his IV. Which. Dannyā€™s tongue might still feel sore and nasty, but the doctors and nurses and millions of minders donā€™t seem that mad when he sticks his tongue out at them. Sometimes they even laugh.
They donā€™t even sound all that mean.
It takes Danny a good chunk of waking time for him to realize that heā€¦probably is hooked up to something he doesnā€™t want to think about, since all the efforts of lifting and moving him havenā€™t resulted in a single bathroom trip since he woke up here.
Firstly: horrible.
Secondly: his legs are super, absolutely, positively immobilized, and if someone doesnā€™t give him enough medication quickly enough after it wears off, Danny is very aware that something is deeply wrong with them.
So. Uh. Thatā€™sā€¦gross.
He learns bealoĀ just as quickly. He isnā€™t sure what bealo means, per se, but when he says it, they up his medication until Danny can pretend he doesnā€™t have any legs again.
God niht is goodnight, unless Danny is feeling snippy, and then itā€™s just niht.
ā€¦The one lady who minds him always says the whole thing, though. Even when Dannyā€™s mean. Like the one time he threw his rocket at someone.
Or the time he started ignoring everyone when they tried to touch him.
ā€¦Or the one time he tried to freeze his IV bag, and put everyone on alert because if heā€™d been human, that would have seriously hurt him.
ā€œSorry,ā€ Dannyā€™d whispered, even if it wouldnā€™t mean anything to her.
Sheā€™d patted his hand and meant it. Dannyā€™d had to dry his eyes with his wrist. ā€œEall es wel.ā€
Anyway.
Danny hates being in the freaking bed every hour of every day. So when his ā€œsitting upā€ exercises turn into ā€œhey, letā€™s try the wheelchairā€ practice, Danny gets so excited-slash-nervous that he kind of feels like heā€™s going to throw up all the liquids heā€™s been injected with.
None of the regular people try to lift him. Instead the lady does it herself, scooping Danny up in very strong arms, the golden cuffs on her wrists weirdly warm on Dannyā€™s skin. When Dannyā€™s settled, his legs sticking out real weird and his back kind of sore, heā€™sā€¦out of bed.
Heā€™s. Heā€™s not in bed anymore.
And. Sure. Itā€™s temporary, but itā€™s not the bed. Danny can wriggle, and he can sort of palm the wheels underneath him with the heels of his shaky hands, and he can see so much more of himself than he has in ages and ages.
For one. Both of his legs are in casts. Thatā€™s. Not good. He canā€™t feel it right now, but the sight of fully encased legsā€¦
Well. If he can transform that wonā€™t be a problem. If. If he has to escape. But it isā€¦itā€™s super scary. He mostly remembers being captured, but theā€¦the other people had been focusing more on his thoracic cavity and his face and head.
ā€¦So why are his legs so bad? Did something else happen?
(It did, didnā€™t it?)
(ā€¦Didnā€™t it??)
His hands shake, but thereā€™s something to all that grip training, or else Danny wouldnā€™t be able to paw at his neckline to look down his own shirt. Or, well, his cloth nightie, anyway.
Itā€™s good that he looks, since, wellā€¦his chest is glowing a solid green.
Whatever should probably be scar tissue. Uh. Itā€¦isnā€™t. Thereā€™re gouges down his chest and a crater where his heart should be that probably should be healing over, considering, you know, heā€™s not freaking dead at this exact second (mostly??), but. Instead of, like, healed flesh, or, say, his insides, thereā€™s a transparent greenā€¦jellyā€¦ holding him together.
He can see how the green bounces with his heart beat.
...Danny drops the neckline of his gown. His breath comes in choking bursts, eyes pressed into his eye socketsā€”he feels sick.
He is sick. He has been sick.
The humans are keeping him here because heā€™s a freak of nature and heā€™s broken from head to toe and the Guys in White carved his flesh out of his body and opened him up like a can of cranberry sauce.
He presses his hands to his chest, to his stomach, just trying to breathe for long enough that he doesnā€™t throw up his oatmeal and occasional juice and IV nutrition onto the pristine floor of his sickroom. The people around him all make sympathetic noises that donā€™t help because he doesnā€™t know what they mean.
And then he feels something weird.
Not all the sensation in his fingers are back. Itā€™s easier for him to feel impediments than it is to feel texturesā€”something that blocks him from moving, rather than anything sensory-specific. He can usually tell when he touches fabric, because when he moves too far, it pulls tight around his hand. He can tell when heā€™s on something solid when his hand fails to go through it.
There is something solid sticking out of him.
Dannyā€™s heartbeat quickens. Itā€™s not. Itā€™s. Thereā€™s something in him.
And itā€™s notā€”itā€™s so solid. When Danny brushes his hands against it, he can feel his skin and his flesh move with it, trying not to dislodge the thing embedded in him. It pulls at his skin. He doesnā€™t know what it is.
His fingers tremble as he tries to brush over the object through his gown, trying to figure out its shape from faulty touch alone. Itā€™s like waking up to find himself jammed with needles all over again.
People are talking around them. Danny doesnā€™t try to listen in. Heā€™s scared. Heā€™s so scared. Somethingā€™s happened to him, and he didnā€™t even notice.
Some of it isā€”hard. Thereā€™s a crinkling sound when he moves. Danny manages to pull his gown neckline back again to catch something of a glimpse, and all he sees is plastic.
He doesnā€™t know what it is.
He doesnā€™t know who to ask. He canā€™t understand anyone and he doesnā€™t know if he trusts them.
They put something in him. Thereā€™s something embedded in him.
He thinks heā€™s going to cry.
Something touches his armā€”Danny flinches. His core tightens with stress as he puts a metaphorical hand on the button, ready to run and hide at any notice.
Itā€™s the lady. He knows her.
No, he doesnā€™t. He doesnā€™t know her at all. He canā€™t talk to her in any way that matters. Sheā€™s not a doctor. He doesnā€™t know why sheā€™s here, or why sheā€™s keeping him here.
Sheā€™s nice. She fed him. But is that all it takes to trick him? To make him compliant? Pliable?
She stops touching him when he gets scared, her eyes worried. She kneelsā€”closer than Danny would like, probably, but she keeps her hands to herself. Dannyā€™s heart races faster, out of order, starting and stopping and starting again like a bad engine.
ā€œEow eart wel?ā€ she asks from his left arm rest, a common question, so softly. Danny doesnā€™t know what it means. ā€œEall es wel. Ɔnlic eow, Ʀnlic me. Bruce brƦư wiĆ° me?ā€
She takes a big, deep, breath. Her hand rises slightly over her chest, following an exaggerated movement. Donā€™t panic. Breathe. Breathe like me. One, two, three.
Dannyā€™s breaths are more choked. More panicked.
But when she breathes, he breathes with herā€”even with every stutter in between.
ā€œHwƦt es woh[O3]Ā ?ā€ the lady asks, so gently itā€™s almost a whisper. Her pointer finger hovers over his body, but doesnā€™t touchā€”and eventually, Danny figures out she probably wants to know where heā€™s hurting.
But heā€™s not hurting. Heā€™s scared. Thereā€™s something inside him, and he isnā€™t sure what it is. He presses the heel of his hand to the object. He feels something rigid refuse to bend inside his flesh.
Thereā€™s something of recognition in the womanā€™s face. ā€œInne cwic tima,ā€ she says, more certain of answers outside the room, and darts away,
Danny wants to bounce his bound leg. He feels awful when anyone is in the room with him, considering how little of them he knows, but, somehow, itā€™s so much worse when heā€™s actually alone.
When she comes back, thereā€™s a second person who walks through the double doors with her, in blue scrubs with ducks on them. They wave to Danny.
Dannyā€¦blinks. He feels numb. Itā€™s kind of a problem.
They take it in stride, though; in their hands is a blank board and a chunky marker. The cap comes off, the new person scribbles for a minute or so, and then turns the board around so that Danny can see.
Itā€™s aā€¦person. A rudimentary outline person, sure, with some visible bones and organs to fill in the person-shaped outline. Danny can recognize most of them from anatomy class, although those memories are moreā€¦personal, now. A little more painful.
The person taps on the board. The person points to Danny.
Danny frowns.
The person turns the board back around and makes some Pew, Pew, Pew! sounds with their mouth, occasionally opening and closing their hand over the board to match the noise. Thereā€™s some more scribbling. When the board turns back around, thereā€™s a violent smudge of marker on top of the drawn personā€™s drawn intestines.
The person takes their covered pinky finger and erases a little neat circle of marker in the intestines, mostly favoring one side. They draw a little arrow from the hole to the general outside-of-the-person blank area. Then another circle, with a thicker circle inside.
Danny recognizes the object jutting out of him. Oh. This is how he got it.
The personā€”probably a doctor, Danny guesses, or the surgeon who did this to himā€”do these people even need credentials, actually?ā€”hands the board over to the lady. They hold out ten outstretched fingers, marker under their arm, and make a show of counting every one of the outstretched fingers with the opposite hand. Then they take the board back.
And then, when they write on the board, Danny can actually understand what they say.
Or, well, itā€™s numbers! The numbers are the same as hisā€”the line and a circle is clearly meant to be a ten, and the little x is a multiplication symbolā€” they draw a 10, as clearly and a brightly as it could be against a stark white board, and add a little x 7, probably to indicate a week; the result is ten suns times seven, or seventy suns.
Danny feels his heart bounce in his chest. Danny would bet a whole lot of money that the number is meant to be seventy days. There is an end point. Itā€™s not that Danny is free to be subjected to random anatomical whimsā€”thereā€™s a goal here. This was purposeful.
The little circle-within a circle gets erased. The hole is scribbled through as if it was never there, and the person makes a weaving gesture with the marker that Danny is certain is meant to be sewing.
Tears prick at his eyes. The lady gets close by him again, but Danny lets her. His hands arenā€™t good enough for wiping tears the way he wants to, yet. Help and company are good.
She gives him a tissue from Danny's bedside table. He takes it with a whisper of a grip.
ā€œSeventy?ā€ Danny rasps, tearful. Hopeful. Terrified of hope. He practically jams the tissue into his eye sockets.
The ladyā€™s eyes go wide. ā€œSeventy,ā€ she repeats, marveling.
Itā€™s enough. Nothing is perfect, but itā€™s enough. And if Danny's allowed to spend so long in front of the space window that he falls asleep in his wheelchair, well. It's not like he was in charge of where they went.

Steve adores your shyness. Especially when it seems to pop up when he's least expecting it.
You're beneath him, cocooned in his arms, and you just look so pretty getting worked up on his cock that Steve can't help but stare. There's a pinch between your brows, eyes scrunched shut with your mouth hung open ā€” and every breathy noise you make goes straight to his cock. He rolls his hips expertly, hitting the spot inside you that makes you keen.
It works perfectly and he feels his cock twitch at the raspy moan you make, the way you grip the sheets that little bit tighter. Fucking beautiful.
"So pretty," he says lowly, more to himself, but its enough to make you open your eyes. "Y'so pretty."
He's staring at you, intense and reverent. His brown eyes lock onto your own, skirting up and down your skin to drink in how you moan for him. You feel a spool of embarrassment flush through your system, your usual shyness making you squirm for all the wrong reasons. It's too much ā€” the gentle fucking, his slow thrusts, paired with his sweet gaze that's taking you apart. It's too much, you feel too on display.
Your hands come up and you smother the next whimper out your mouth with your hands, your legs tightening their grip around his waist. Steve shifts, his hands moving your hips deftly to change the angle and this time when he fucks back in, sinking his cock deep into your cunt, a loud cry escapes your lips.
Too much, too loud ā€” your hands creep up and you hide your face in them, trying to catch you breath, trying to keep from being too overwhelmed under the heavy gaze of Steve's love.
"Hey, hey, no, don't hide," Steve's murmurs. He noses closer, nuzzling against your fingers to try get you to move them. There's a little flickering worry in him that has his thrusts slowing to a stop, wanting to check you're alright. You stay hidden, breaths still laboured.
The hand holding your waist travels up and gently wraps around your wrist. He doesn't tug. Instead, he presses a soft kiss to your fingers, trying to coax you out with his words. "Please let me see you? Honey, I-"
He pauses to drop more kisses along your hands, beginning to tug gently on your wrist to guide your hand away. "Sorry, f'staring, sweetheart, you're just so pretty, s'just I can't help myself, okay?"
You let him pull your hands back and Steve's glowing smile makes it worth it, reminds you of who you're with, of how much you trust him. The urge to hide doesn't dim but the want to share in this moment with Steve outweights it by a million.
Especially, when Steve says, "There we go. Hi, baby."
He leans down and kisses you, lips pink and plush and good against your own. You kiss back fervently, lit afire from how Steve moans into your mouth. The kiss breaks and you can't help but smile too.
"Hi." You whisper back.
Steve's grinning so much his eyes are crinkling at the sides. He nuzzles down again, a wet kiss placed on your cheek before he steals another from your lips. "Y'okay? Got all shy on me, did you?"
You're too shy to even admit it aloud, so you nod instead, a loud gasp pushing out your lips when Steve starts moving againā€” his cock nudging your sweet spot so deliciously. You can feel your slick dripping down your thighs, your tummy burning hot.
"That's okay," Steve assures you. His voice is low, barely a hum. Words just for you. "You're being so good for me, letting me see you, mhm."
The praise makes you clench around him and Steve's hip stutter for a moment, a sharp whine falling for his lips. His pace is still slow but his thrusts get deeper, all as he continues his praises against yours lips, "You're so good for me, aren't you? So fucking good around me, fucking made for me."
You mewl at his words, the coil in your tummy turned tighter and tighter by pleasure and Steve melts, feels his lust build higher and higher. It blazes hotter, knowing that you trust him to see you like thisā€” to let him see your moans and to take his in exchange. Steve lets another moan drip through his kiss and presses his forehead against your own as his lips leave yours, close enough to count your eyelashes.
"So pretty," He murmurs again. "So fuckin' pretty on my cock, aren't you?"

Superman: Origin Story! šŸŽ‰
Part one involving what became of Krypton and the rest of the El family will be linked below.
Lara and Cal crash landed together on Earth (specifically, outside of Smallville Kansas) in the summer of 1977 with their escape pod badly damaged, and Lara bleeding out. As luck would have it, a young couple was driving through that part of the country and saw what they thought was a plane of some sort crash land. John Kent jumped out of the car and went to check to see if there were survivors and found a Kryptonian escape pod, steaming and smoking, with a woman and baby inside. Lara could tell that she didnā€™t have much time. Attempting to speak to John (though, he didnā€™t understand her language) she asked that he would take care of her son and bring help. Along with Cal, she also gave John a small, hand-held device that he couldnā€™t figure out the purpose of. Thenā€¦ she died.
John was left standing there, not knowing what to do for a few seconds. Ultimately, he figured he ought to bury the body out of respect, so he ran back to his wife to give her the baby. By that point, though, there were already dark shapes on the horizon. Martha spotted them. Black helicopters. The Kents got in their car and sped away as quickly as they could, not wanting to get tangled up in whatever conspiracy this was. John didnā€™t take them back to house that night. Instead, they kept driving until they reached his sister Emmaā€™s house where they would lay low for a while.
Martha was still holding baby Cal and she couldnā€™t bear to let him go. She had suffered a miscarriage just a week before and immediately fell in love with the boy. There would be no getting rid of him now. They decided to name him Clark, after a word John thought that the woman in the pod had tried to say to him.
After the black helicopters had gone, and after the crashed pod had mysteriously disappeared, John and Martha went back home and continued on with life. Naturally, they had a million questions, but answers would be very tricky to supply unless they wanted to poke their noses into uncertain places. So they kept to themselves. Clark, meanwhile, was growing up fast and strong. Literally. By the time he was two, he was lifting things he really shouldnā€™t be able to, running faster than they could keep up with, and falling out trees on purpose (not sustaining any injuries) because it was fun. This was their first inkling that Clark might not be human. (After all, Kryptonians do look a lot like humans.)
I would also like to mention that in this version, Clark has siblings. Yes, a few years after saving Clark, Martha gave birth to another son, Micheal. Then came Sean, then Rueben, and finally Suzie. They all worked together on their fatherā€™s farm, though it was kind of an open secret who did most of the work. Clark would out-perform his brothers constantly, and it had become quite the sore spot in the family. But, when the tractor breaks down, whoā€™re you gonna call to get it back to the barn? Probably the superhuman son who can lift it with one hand and fly. They did have a lot of good times as well. They got up to so much stupid stuffā€¦hehehā€¦ story for another time.
Clark was told from a young age that he was allowed to use his powers on the farm, but nowhere else. Especially not in town. John and Martha were worried the black helicopters might come back. So Clark did his best, but rumours still abounded. Some of the other kids in his class at school even called him an ā€œalienā€ because of how weird he acted sometimes. Naturally, he had been told his origins by this point. When he was six, his parents sat him down and explained about the pod and his mother and John gave him the small device that Lara had given him. The moment Clark touched it, it activated. It was a holo-photo projector, and it displayed a portrait of the El family, baby Clark included. This was proof that Clark was from the stars, and from that moment onward, he became obsessed with outer space. By the time he was in middle school, he had star maps and rocket posters pinned up in his room, he tracked down every scrap of alien news and conspiracy theories that he could find, and tried to send out radio signals into deep space with his own dinky, homemade system in the family tree house. He loved his adoptive family, he did, but he also wanted to know what had happened to the rest of his birth family. Were they out there? Did they know where he was? That he was alive? He had so many questions!
Alas, time flew by, and no answers appeared. He had a falling out with one of his brothers (involving Clark losing control and accidentally hurting one of the family dogs with his laser vision) and after high school he left to get a degree in investigative journalism, later taking a job at the Daily Planet in Metropolis. He still talked to his brothers and sister and Ma and Pa, but he felt alienated. He didnā€™t really belong anywhere. Thatā€™s why this job was so important. He would scour the ends of the Earth to find answers.
Little did he know, though, that the escape pod and Laraā€™s body had been taken by the government and were being experimented on. Head of the classified project currently: Amanda Waller. Most invested investor: Lex Luthor.

It's okay to run slower~
Lee: Minho Lers: Chan, Seungmin Word Count: 1.5k
A/N: @itzsana-kiddingmenow šŸ‘€Happy one year SanašŸ’šŸ„³šŸŽ‰šŸŽŠThank you for making your blog and choosing to write, you're a gift to everyone in the kpop tickle communityšŸ’žšŸ©·šŸ’–Hope this can cheer you up even a tiny bitšŸ¤­šŸ„° I love you!!šŸ¤—šŸ©·
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It felt like an eternity since theyā€™d started. Minho was certain that heā€™d run through the lyrics at least a million times and by now and his throat felt dry and sore. Why did their new songs have to have so many English parts?
After a fruitless recording session that left both him and Chan exhausted, the leader let him go, knowing that Minho needed some rest and he himself needed to cool down.
Chan watched through the glass as the younger straightened his clothes and fixed his hair, then stalked out. He looked ragged, all sunken cheeks and dark circles under his doe eyes.
Hours later when Chan arrived at the cuties dorm, he found a worried Seungmin standing in front of Minhoā€™s room.
The younger startled when he spotted the older, but quickly beckoned him close. ā€œMinho hyung was crying when he came back. Did something happen hyung?ā€ The kitten in question was currently simmering in a pot of frustration and self-hatred in his room.
Chan guiltily explained the situation. ā€œItā€™s not your fault hyung,ā€ Seungmin said firmly, rubbing the leaderā€™s back. ā€œLetā€™s go talk to him.ā€ Seungmin knocked on the door, the duo walking in once they heard a muffled ā€˜come inā€™.
Minho was face planting his bed, still dressed in his outside clothes. ā€œHey baby. Can I talk to you?ā€
Chan slowly turned him over, grimacing when he noticed the kittenā€™s eyes, feeling crushing guilt curl in his stomach at the redness in Linoā€™s eyes.
Minho nodded but stayed quiet, not quite looking at Chan yet. ā€œAre you mad at me?ā€ The leaderā€™s voice broke towards the end.
That made the kitten look up at him in surprise, a hand coming up to cup Chanā€™s cheek. ā€œI-Iā€™m not hyung. I promise Iā€™m not.ā€
He sat up on the bed, reaching out a hand to scratch at Chanā€™s scalp. The older leaned into the touch, letting out a sigh, tugging at Minho until he was on his lap and hugged him tight.
ā€œIā€™m not mad at you hyungie. Itā€™s just-I- Iā€™m frustrated that I canā€™t seem to grasp the pronunciation as quickly as everyone else. I feel like Iā€™m holding everyone back and- and like Iā€™m wasting so much of your time because I canā€™t get it right.ā€
ā€œYou know I donā€™t mind that, love, you should take your time. We have to learn things at our own paces and youā€™re doing so well darling. You improved a ton over the last few months so donā€™t be so hard on yourself, yeah?ā€
Feeling a little playful he started rhythmically poking Minhoā€™s torso, singing My Pace in a goofy voice.
ā€œThere's no need to rush, my pace~šŸŽµ Don't compare yourself with others~ It's okay to run slower~ Just follow my lane, my lanešŸŽ¶ Take it easy~ Just look ahead and run~šŸŽµ You ready? Let's go!šŸŽ¶ā€
It earned him some huffed out giggles, and rolling his eyes, Minho pushed him off. Chan hugged him tightly, clinging onto the kitten and squeezing at his sides as Minho tried to extract himself.
ā€œTryna run away? Iā€™m not gonna let you~ Youā€™re stuck with me allll night!ā€ Chan threatened in a baby voice, littering more pokes all over Minhoā€™s sides. ā€œHyuhuhuhung!ā€
The younger giggled, squirming around but not really fighting it. He buried his face in Chanā€™s shoulder and let it all out. The leader continued his ministrations, shutting his eyes and simply listening to the sweet sounds Minho made.
ā€œCan you stop laughing? Weā€™re having a serious conversation here! How rude!ā€ Minho just cackled, unable to come up with any sort of retaliation.
ā€œOoh hyungā€™s being all soft and gross.ā€ Seungmin chirped from behind them and although Chan had known he was there, he startled just as much as Minho.
ā€œShut up, you brat!ā€ Nonetheless, the kitten was sporting a deep blush at being found out.
ā€œCan you hold him down Channie hyung? Iā€™m bored.ā€ Seungminā€™s hand wormed its way over to scribble at Minhoā€™s side, weakening him as Chan wrestled his arms above his head and sat on them.
Seungmin straddled the olderā€™s hips, leaning back with his hands on Minhoā€™s thighs as he lazily looked him over. With a sudden grin he squeezed the spot, watching as the leeā€™s body jolted, sweet giggles spilling from his lips.
Thatā€™s when Chan began the teasing, wiggling his fingers in the youngerā€™s face then quickly moving it to just barely graze over the kittenā€™s sides. Minho yelped, flinching away from the evil hand, Channie giggling in amusement at his reactions.
ā€œAww, youā€™re pretty cute like this hm? Guess all we needed to do was tickle you~ā€ Seungminā€™s condescending voice flustered him more than Minho expected.
Unable to come up with a sufficient retort, he was saved when Chan finally kneaded into his sides. ā€œAHā€” Chahahahanihie hyuhuhung NAHAHAHAHA!!ā€
The squeal that tumbled from his lips before the giggles started was priceless and Channie couldnā€™t help but coo at him.
ā€œItā€™s been forever since Iā€™ve heard that laugh!ā€ Chan sighed happily, fingers skittered up Minhoā€™s sides to his armpits then back down to his upper ribs. Loud, joyful cackles filled the space, Minhoā€™s face scrunching up with how much he was smiling.
He tried screaming loudly, over and over in the hopes that Chan would cringe away from the deafening sound but the leader seemed to have anticipated that, quickly drilling his thumb into the kittenā€™s exposed armpit.
His screams dissolved into wild belly laughs, Minho flopping around crazily as he tried to escape, almost throwing Seungmin off.
The puppy retaliated by gripping onto the olderā€™s thighs and digging into the sides with the tips of his fingers, laughing along with Minho when the poor kitten went ballistic.
It was truly unfair that they were aiming for two of his worst spots at once. Seungmin was mean when he was the one doing the tickling, using all his accumulated knowledge on his victim to have them losing their minds.
On one side, his fingers dug into the sides of Minhoā€™s things and squeezed while his free hand skittered lightly over the top and inner parts of his left thigh.
ā€œKIHIHIM SEUNGMIN IHIHI WILL KIHILL YOU!!ā€ He hollered through uncontrollable cackles but Seungmin only laughed at that, a soft tinkly sound.
ā€œI donā€™t think youā€™re in a position to threaten me hyung. I could make this so much worse for you, you knowā€¦ā€
He pressed his nails in a little harsher and Minho screamed again, this time from the sheer ticklishness of the technique.
Apologies fell from his lips immediately but there was no going back. Seungmin was ruthless as a ler and Minho had just dug his grave.
Chan on the other hand was almost lazily tracing and swirling his fingers in Minhoā€™s armpits, occasionally flitting down to land a quick scribble to his upper ribs.
Minho blushed when he made eye contact with the older, averting his eyes at the teasing look he got. Chan pouted at that, going a little harder in revenge.
How could his kitten not even look at him! It was unacceptable!
ā€œPlehease, please I cahanā€™t, canā€™t take thihihis!ā€
ā€œYou're so cute like this, just a little bit more. I know you can take it, my little tickle toy.ā€ Seungminā€™s voice was a soft croon, with a cocky edge to it.
Minho died at that. He didnā€™t think he could ever feel normal again.
The name replayed over and over in his mind as they wrecked him. No amount of bucking or thrashing or pleading could get him out of this. But he didnā€™t really want this to end just yet anyway.
Then the duo switched spots. While Seungmin worked on his sides, Chan gently held the soft lobes of Minhoā€™s ears between his thumb and index finger and rubbed at the skin, occasionally dipping downwards to flutter at his sensitive neck.
It seemed to work, with the kittenā€™s giggles going up in pitch immediately and his squirming turning to thrashing.
ā€œOHOHO GOHOD! It tihihihickles, ihihit tihiHIHICKLES!! Chahannie hyuhung!ā€
ā€œItā€™s supposed to baby.ā€ Chan replied with a fond smile, watching his cute bunny lose himself to the tickles.
ā€œHmm?ā€ Seungmin mused as he watched the exchange and without another word, he handed Chan a long white feather. Grinning at the fearful expression on Minho face, Chan began to wreak havoc on Minhoā€™s ears and neck with the new weapon.
Bubbly giggles escaped his soft lips, squirming violently but Chanie was too strong. No matter what he did- be it throwing his head back or mouthing pleas to the older.
Chan only cooed at him, not letting up. ā€œHehehehe!!ā€ Minho sounded like a child with the way he was laughing, his little sounds so soft and innocent.
Eventually they let up when Minhoā€™s loud laughter had dissolved into mere wheezing and small huffs of airy giggles.
Chan gathered him back into his arms, cradling his boneless form while Seungmin ran to the kitchen to fetch some water.
ā€œIā€™m so so proud of you darling,ā€ Channie whispered softly into Linoā€™s ear and heard the kitten sigh in relief.
With a sudden tug, Minho pulled the oldest even closer, smothering him in a bear hug,ā€ Thank you for always being so patient with me hyungie. I love you.ā€
Chan squealed internally, needing to take a moment to calm himself down.
ā€œI love you too Linoya~ā€

I normally wait until an audiobook is released so I can make a post but this one is too good to pass up. Might as well start hyping it up now. šŸŽ‰
Roger is going to narrate this audiobook, and I mean, no shit??? No one else is more fitting to narrate anything with the words Red Dead on the title. This book will be available in August of 2024 in paperback, hardcover, and of course, audiobook format.
Overview:
Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption II, set in 1911 and 1899, are the most-played American history video games since The Oregon Trail. Beloved by millions, theyā€™ve been widely acclaimed for their realism and attention to detail. But how do they fare as recreations of history? In this engaging book, award-winning American history professor Tore Olsson takes up that question and more. Weaving the gamesā€™ plot and characters into an exploration of American violence between 1870 and 1920, Olsson shows that it was more often disputes over capitalism and race, not just poker games and bank robberies, that fueled the bloodshed of these turbulent years. As such, this era has much to teach us today. From the West to the Deep South to Appalachia, Olsson reveals the gritty and brutal world that inspired the games, but sometimes lacks context and complexity on the digital screen. Colorful, fast-paced, and dramatic, Red Deadā€™s History sheds light on dark corners of the American past for gamers and history buffs alike.
Currently, Red Dead's History is available for PRE-ORDER from:
Apple Books āœ° Audible āœ° Audiobooks.com āœ° AudiobooksNow.com āœ° AudiobookStore.com āœ° Barnes & Noble āœ° Binge Books āœ° Chirp Books āœ° Everand āœ° Downpour āœ° Google Play āœ° Hoopla āœ° Libro.fm āœ° Overdrive + Libby āœ° Rakuten Kobo
At the moment not too many retailers are taking preorders for this one, but I'm sure that will change as the book nears release.

Save yourself- Tommy Shelby x reader
So ages agooooo @runnning-outof-time posted a Kaleo song that I kept listening to over and over again, then @shelbydelrey made a cheating theme celebration šŸŽ‰ and I had been working since forever in both ideas but something was missingā€¦ until I decided to mix it and this came as the result.
K, I hope you like the result of using this particular song (Idk what idea you had in mind for it), but it gave me these vibes.šŸ’–
Isa, I couldnā€™t decide how to approach this particular theme, but Tommy cheating seemed to come to life by itselfā€¦ and I hope itā€™s not too late to celebrate you šŸ’•
āš ļø Cheating, angst
Tumblr media
Y/N removed the hat as she walked into the House of Watery Lane, feeling so much better than the previous night, she had to leave the Grand re-opening of The Garrison early after feeling unwell, but after some tea and crackers, the only food her stomach seemed to accept. Polly offered her house because it was closer and she didnā€™t want to disturb anyone or ruin the fun for them, Ada was finally visiting them, Arthur was the happiest she had seen him in a long time, proud of the new and flashy decoration, and Tommyā€¦ well he just was enjoying himself to take him back home just because she was tired and nauseous.
Opening the door, she found a scene she never wanted to see; Tommy, her Tommy in bed with not one, but two women.
It weighs heavier on one's heart
I could tell right from the start that sweet ones are hard to come across
Her heart stopped beating for an instant, while the realization was sinking inā€¦ there was an indescribable ache, so hard to breatheā€¦ imagining his arms around them, giving those women the same pleasure he gave her endless nights.
He was just as shocked as she was, and quickly he tried to get up, untangling himself from them, shit, what did he do? Y/N didnā€™t deserved that. As she felt her stomach up in her throat, she couldnā€™t watch them anymore.
Snapping fast from her trance, she found herself turning around, strangely calmed, a realization hitting her like a bullet, heartbeat now drumming against her ribs, her fingers felt numb, clumsy, as if she had a big cloud inside her head.
She wasnā€™t going to make a huge drama out of it, she wouldnā€™t ask for explanations, she didnā€™t feel like listening to lame excuses to justify his actions. No, she walked out of there in silence, with her heart shattered into million pieces, yes, but she would get over it, just like she had been all of her life.
Tommy rushed to get dressed, shouting for her to wait, he would ask for forgiveness, beg on his knees, tell her it was just a mistake. Fumbling with his pants, he picked up his peaky cap from the floor, breaking an empty bottle of whiskey as he stumbled. Trying hard to tuck in his shirt inside of his pants, but she was gone already. She was the best thing of his fucking life and he ruined.
Heart like yours is rare to find
Someone else's gain will be my loss
Revenge could come in different forms, she couldā€™ve steal all the money from the safe in their room or the one in his office, fuck him over, force him to buy her expensive presents to make it up for it all, she could fuck anyone right there in front of him just to give him back what he did. Anyone would suggest make him pay, make him beg and watch him sufferā€¦
But she wasnā€™t going to make an scandal. No, her reaction was much lethal than that.
She would leave in silence, without tears, without shouting, no pointing fingers.
He turned out to be just like his father, she knew that would kill him, the comparison.
Choose your words before you speak
Can you see that all you've got is time?
Tommy rushed down the street cursing at himself, feeling the worse headache forming and found her in their bedroom, a single travel bag over the bed, she was calmly folding her clothes.
Just as she packed their bags to go to their country house.
ā€œY/N please.ā€ Tommy pleaded desperate.
His words meant nothing now, all of those empty promises, the dreams they had togetherā€¦ gone.
Seeing her like that was worse than hear her shouting, breaking things, yelling at him. That wouldā€™ve been the expected reaction after what she saw. But she wasnā€™t even crying or hitting him, he deserved that.
Heā€™d have preferred that, a million slaps than this.
She took a moment to check her belongings and walked towards the dresser to retrieve her passport and important papers. She arrived to this house with just a few things and she would leave just about the same.
ā€œY/Nā€¦ nothing I could say could repair what I did, but I swear it meant nothing, it was a mistake, I was so drunkā€¦ā€ she wasnā€™t even listening to him anymore, it was just a buzz in the back of her mind. ā€œI lost controlā€¦ā€ he drank a lot, mixed it with an obscene amount of snow, didnā€™t even realizeā€¦fuck.
Walking into the nursery, she went directly to the first drawer and carefully, took a blanket that Polly knitted for the baby, the nappies and the rabbit that Ada bought for their unborn child. Yeah, she really didnā€™t need all those expensive gifts he gave her.
ā€œIā€™ll go somewhere else, you can stay here I wonā€™t bother you,ā€ Tommy kept babbling while she walked past him, back into the bedroom they once shared.
Still in complete silence.
He knew Y/N better than the palm of his hand, he knew he should stay away right now, but he needed her to stop packing, this silent treatment only added more worry and stress to his already altered heart.
And that was the only time she dared to look at him in the eyes, making him wish she never did. Shoving away his hand from her body as he tried to reach her.
Tommy deserved a slap, deserved to have his balls cut, but she wasnā€™t going to lose time in that.
He started to see white dots when Y/N closed the bag, it wasnā€™t completely full yet and she seemed to be done.
And not just with the bag, but with him as well.
Tommy rubbed his hands all over his face, lost for words, feeling his entire world coming to an imminent end. It didnā€™t matter that he was stronger than her, in that very moment he felt so small, so useless, knowing that nothing he did, would make her change her mind.
But he tried, he tried to grab the bag from her hands as she stood at the top of the stairs, still begging for forgiveness.
ā€œFine, I donā€™t need that either.ā€ She wasnā€™t even going to try to fight him over the bag, especially not close to the stairs, she just wanted to leave.
She knew she deserved better, not because she was someone important, but because she knew her value and she wanted respect, simple as that. Birmingham could be his territory, but he wasnā€™t her owner.
ā€œNo no, Y/N, listen to me pleaseā€¦ā€ he rushed down, to stop her from opening the door.
But she was determined to leave, with or without the bag, of course that wasnā€™t going to stop her.
Before she met him, she had several wooers, with better intentions than him, but he was determined to make her fall for him, and that was the greatest mistake of her life.
Oh darling, save yourself for someone else
ā€œWeā€™ve a story together, Y/N, pleaseā€¦ā€
Save yourself
Oh, won't you save yourself?
ā€œYou canā€™t take away my child!ā€ He snapped breathlessly, panicking because he was running out of time, of reasons to make her stay.
Are you going to break?
The look Y/N gave him, couldā€™ve easily turned him into stone, a sarcastic smile playing in her lips.
ā€œNow itā€™s a good time to remember you have a baby on the way, shouldā€™ve think of that last night, donā€™t you think?ā€
Y/N ripped the bag from his hand.
It would be just her baby and herself, away from this life, away from the risks, away from his lies.
She was unsure of a lot of things, but there was one around her mind in that very moment, sometimes you need to save yourself.
The worst part of it, was that Tommy knew deep down, that Y/N would be better off without him.

Can u do a pedri angst where him and reader finally make it official after months of him chasing after her but the next day the paparazzi find him getting cozy with a girl qnd its all over the media and she feels embarrassed but he doesnt think its a big deal so they get into a fight but make up in the end
I had this already done and then guess what...? I saw the same req but with GavišŸ„“ Please, I don't really know how many times I've said it but don't request the exact same thing to other writers. I had this made before I saw it with Gavi so...šŸ„“ Please, tell me what you think of this, I truly hope you like it!
Wrong Move -P.G8
Summary: He doesn't see what's wrong but you do
Tumblr media
You remember the excitement on Pedro's face when you told him that you were finally agreeing to go on a date with him after five months of him trying. He went all in towards you and hugged you against him for a whole five minutes murmuring a few thank you's and a few you won't regret it's.
And it's not like you weren't interested in him, because you were; but, he was a famous football player and you were a simple univeristy student who works her ass off to pay for her university and bills. His busy and flashy life didn't contrasted a single bit with your boring and stressing studing one.
You were also scared of the media breaking into your private life and not to mentions his fans that could break you in millions of pieces with three words and also he had a reputation often being connected with random girls with the context of a hookup, he saying that he didn't looked for a serious relationship made you hesitate about him but Pedri reassured you and show you that, that was past, that he truly saw himself in a long run with you and that you'll be more than a random hookup.
He worked hard for you to believe him and he show you he really meant it.
That's why you gave him a chance and after eight months together as girlfriend and boyfriend and one month out in the public eye, you felt for the first time ever doubtful of everything he had said to you.
Pedro had asked if you wanted to join him, Fer, AdriƔn and their girlfriends on a night out since it was Adrian girlfriend's birthday and as much as you wanted to, you couldn't because you had to submitt a twenty-five pages essay in fours hours and you were barely at the fifteen page.
"Don't overwork yourself, amor, please" Pedro had said grabbing his keys "Te quiero, sƩ que podrƔs hacerlo, bonita" (I love you, I know you can do it) He smiled as you kissed him goodbye
"Te escribo al terminar, diviƩrtete pero no mucho" (I'll text you whenever I'm done with it, have fun but not that much) You smiled fixing the neck of his polo as he pulled you closer to him by the waist kissing your lips once more
"I could never, not if you're not with me" He said against your lips before pecking them twice
"Anda, lindo. Te quiero" (Go pretty boy. Love you)
"Yo mƔs, regreso mƔs tarde" (Love you more, I'll be back later)
Two hours later, you got some weird inspiration and managed to finish your essay, you texted Pedro with the image of your submitted work and a lil "šŸŽ‰šŸ˜Œ Did it!" To which he replied with a heart eyes emoji and "My smart girl" as you smile and got ready to have some dinner and shower.
Four hours later, you were sat on your couch with your chest tightening and watching the video of Pedri with a girl all over him, they were sit in some couch but this girl had her whole front pressed up against his side, her arms linked with his and they were talking.
The video showed him looking at her and sometimes nodding or shaking his head speaking with a smile but she was laughing, throwing her head back, pushing her hair out of her shoulder, the video ended with Pedro getting up and she following him.
Underneath, the comments were all of them disappointed on Pedro and supporting you but it didn't mattered to you.
What mattered is that how you were feeling, you were embarrassed, everyone was talking about how you were "The one who got cheated on", you wanted to cry and deeply wanted to know what is going on, on Pedro's head. You wanted him to tell you what did you just saw and the why behind his actions.
Ten minutes later approximately, you heard the front door being opened, soon your heard him taking off his shoes and then leaving his keys on the holder you guys have. Seconds later, you saw his figure greeting you in your living room.
"How did you passed from thirteen to almost thirty pages of content in two hours? Was I distracting you?" He laughed lightly coming over to you but his comment didn't changed your facial expressions, he didn't noticed them "I'm truly happy for you, bonita. However, don't let an assigment that long get up to you at last minute ever again. I don't want to see you that stressed out again, you were gonna pass out and I would have done it too 'cus-" You interrupted him showing him the video
"What's this and who's that girl?" Your questions sounded defensive and catched Pedro out of guard.
"ĀæDisculpa?" (Sorry?)
"Who's that girl? And what is this thing that's happening on the video?"
"She's just one of Ferran's friends"
"And are Ferran's friends allowed to link their arms through yours, push themselves against you and basically hint that they want you to... You know?"
"She wasn't hinting anything"
"You are right. She wasn't hinting, she was showing you. She was openly flirting with you and you weren't doing anything to stop it"
"You're overreacting this"
"Am I?" You stood up shaking your head in disbelief "If I am, then why millions of people are agreeing with me too? I'm not the only one. People are thinking you cheated on me with this girl"
"And you believe them?"
"I don't... But should I? You were incredibly cosy with letting her rest her front against your fucking arm over and over again. You were laughing, shaking and nodding your head at her words without pushing her away or letting her know you had someone waiting for you at home"
"Had?" He asked eyes wide open as you closed your mouth "You're just being jealous. I wasn't flirting with her and I definitely couldn't care any less if she had another intentions with me because I am that crazy in love with you, I am freaking greatful and satisfied for what I have at home that I don't need to see anything or anyone on the sidelines"
"Really? You have such a weird way to show that"
"Y/N..."
"I'm tired, Pedri. We can talk it later, I'm not in the mood to hear or see you anymore" You sighed shaking your head, you grabbed your phone and passed by him going to your shared bedroom "I definitely didn't think this could happen to us"
He heard it.
"Nothing has happen to us! You're overreacting!" He yelled pushing his head up so he can see you
"Would you think I'm overreacting if tables were turned around? Would you think it's okay if I go to some other man and flirt and link my arm through his and push myself onto him? Would you accept, me looking into your eyes and tell you: "I wasn't flirting with him"? Wouldn't you feel down knowing a millions of people have seen it and are letting you look like you were cheated on? Wouldn't you feel embarrassed? Are you sure you wouldn't? Because if you wouldn't then yes... I'm overreacting" You said looking into his eyes "Accept it, you fucked it up when you let her get that close to you"
"So this is it?"
"I don't even want to know if this is it or if it isn't. You can make your own assumptions and you can let me known them with another video if you like, I'll be in the guest room. I'm done. Night, Pedri"
And with that you were gone as he stood there looking up at where you were standing. He took his phone and got inside Twitter, the video was the first thing loading into his homepage.
He gulped watching it, it really could be misinterpreted but he wasn't doing anything with other intentions. He loves you with his whole life. It can be said that he loves you even more than he loves football, you came into his life unexpectedly and turned it around 360Ā°.
He didn't see girls who weren't you with other eyes, he even stopped receiving fangirls numbers to prove you he is serious with you and to let you know how much he respects you.
"Why didn't I pushed her away?" He questioned himself
She was funny and he did liked her, as a friend, she lets herself be liked and gets into the group fast but in his mind and heart you were the only one.
You are the only one and he did the wrong move. His efforts that once were high now laid at 0 and he did understand your point of view now.
Frustrated with himself he got out of the app and his eyes connected with his home lockscreen. You and him kissing each other in a beach during you vacations in Canarias, the beauty of the photo is the love you two have for each other and the kiss that was interrupted by smiles on both of your faces.
He has to make it up to you.
Picking up said photo, he captured it with: Mi Ćŗnica chica, te amošŸ’œ hoy y siempreā™¾ļø. (My one and only, I love you. Today and always) He turned off the comments for everyone except for you and headed up to the guest room.
He had to be careful with his words and explain himself as much as he could. Your eyes were closed but your cheeks had tear marks, you were awake just ignoring his presence. He sighed and crunched down to be in front of you.
"Que soy un idiota" (I'm an idiot) He began "I swear to everything I own and to everyone I love that I truly don't care about her, I talked to her and tried to be just her friend, she's nice and she may had wanted something with me but the only one I want, the only attention I want, the only girl I will care about the most, the only girl I will flirt back with, the only girl I fall in love with, the only one who I make fool with, my only one everything is you" He reached out to push your hair out of your face and when he saw you didn't reacted back to it, he let his palm lay softly on your cheek carressing it with his thumb.
"I'm sorry, mi vida. I really don't know why I didn't pushed her back, I should have because I'm a taken man but I guess she's new over here and we just wanted her to be comfortable with us"
"But not that comfortable" You said as Pedri smiled
"I know, she crossed a line" You open your eyes and looked at Pedri "I'm sorry" You shook your head smiling lightly "And you didn't overreacted, I would've done the exact same thing if tables were turned around. I'm truly sorry, mi vida"
"Don't do it again, Pedri"
"Pedro"
"Pedri"
"Pedro"
"Pedri"
"You only call me Pedri when you're mad!"
"I still am!"
"What can I do for that bad feeling to go away?"
"Cuddle me, love me, give me some ice cream and never do it again?"
"I can do all four and mostly the second one" You smiled and lifted the blanket for him to step inside. He smiled taking off his hoodie and joggers being left in his boxers and wrapped his arms around you.
He pushed his head down and searched for your lips, kissing you softly and slow "Te amo" He breathed out
"Te amo, mi niƱo lindo" You whispered back as he pressed you further into him. You guys got comfy and after a few minutes Pedro gasped "What's wrong?"
"The ice cream" He turned you around and got out of your hold
"Pedro, no! Come back here! Ice cream can wait!"
"I know how that goes! Ice cream CANNOT wait!" You smiled widely falling back into the pillows.
He may did a wrong move but he always knew how to fix it.

For this ask game.
šŸ’‹ First kiss fics. Love em or hate em?
A fact about me, which may seem counterintuitive given my posting, is that... I'm actually not that much into shipping. I appreciate it, when done well, but it's not really the romance per se that draws me to things or drives my interactions with a piece of media. I don't really love OR hate first kiss fics; I suppose I would put them in the same category I put whump: if it's well done, and has some kind of plot or deeper introspection or something around it, something that helps the characters develop in some way, that's great! But just for its own sake? Meh.
šŸŽ‰ What leads you to consider a fic a success?
It's cliche, but feedback, especially comments. One of the best I ever got was on the first fic I posted, where I'd put a stereotypical "I'm not a writer, please be nice" sort of nonsense at the top. I got a comment from a complete stranger that started with, "okay, 'not a writer,'" and rode those four words straight into the next two stories I wrote. If I've made someone feel something enough that they've taken the time to say so, that's pure gold, and a definite win.
šŸ„° How do you feel about reader interaction? Are you open to receiving questions about your fics?
I LOVE questions about them!! I love chatting about my shows in general, but tbh writing meta sometimes hurts my brain. My fics are almost all canon-compliant and usually express a headcanon or an interpretation of canon events. Sometimes I'm demonstrating why some part of canon that folks seem to hate or think makes no sense actually makes perfect sense to me. It's always so fun to chat about blorbos, I guess I'm just better at showing my thoughts on some things through fic than I am at explaining. :D
šŸ¤² Would you please share a snippet of a wip?
Bless you šŸ’• every time you do this you force me to look at another bit I've not worked on for a while and it sets my brain on fire with ideas for how to improve or expand on them. :D How about one not from season 8? Set in the reduxes, a scene I drafted ages ago for Scully and Bill Junior. I was delighted to later discover it has a lot in common with the deleted scene from I think it was memento mori? (also delighted that the deleted scene can't be considered canon, because what did air has him not aware of her cancer until much later, so my version could still stand :D I'll post it someday, probably)
"You're being rude," she stated. "I'm just looking out for you." "I know that you believe that, but you're also being rude." "Dana, I know-" he started, but she cut him off with a look. "I asked to speak to you, I would like you to listen," she said, and tipped her head toward the chair beside her bed. "Sit." His jaw flexed, but he acquiesced. "Look, I'm not going to ask you to like him-" "Good, because I don't," he interrupted petulantly. She gave him a quelling look. "I am not going to ask you to like him," she repeated, pausing between each word for emphasis, "and I'm not going to ask that you understand him. But I need you to respect me. We aren't kids anymore Bill, I'm a grown woman; I can make my own decisions. Please don't belittle that by assuming that I'm somehow being..." she searched for the right word, "manipulated."
thank you thank you thank you, a million times thank you for asking šŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’•

I reached a milestone the other day on ao3ā€“10K kudos! šŸŽ‰ For some, this probably isnā€™t very many. But to think that people have not only read my stuff, but enjoyed my stuff ten thousand times is absolutely mind boggling to me. So thank you to everyone who has ever left a kudos or a comment. Iā€™m just a soft little girl who bathes in your praise.
To celebrate, hereā€™s a little excerpt from what started it all; my very first fic called Sweet Surrender. Iā€™ll be posting it to tumblr soon.
Hereā€™s a confused little Steve figuring things out with bestie Robin. šŸ«¶
Tumblr media
ā€œI was struggling before we met him. You know, with relationships. It felt like maybeā€¦ that struggle was over. Like what you have with Vickie, butā€¦ but me with Eddie?ā€ He felt Robin lean back. She was looking at him, a question in her eyes. A question that he didnā€™t really know how to answer. He was just figuring things out himself as the words flew from his mouth, shocking him as much as they must have been shocking her.
ā€œI just wanted himā€¦ around. Close. He made me feel whole,ā€ he whispered. ā€œAnd then he left. If it felt like I was in a thousand pieces before, it felt like I was in a million more. Shattered. Broken. Likeā€¦ the one person that I decided on, didnā€™t decide on me.ā€
ā€œSteveā€¦ā€ Robinā€™s voice matched his. Hushed. A sigh. A breath. ā€œWhat is it youā€™re saying?ā€
ā€œI donā€™t know,ā€ he admitted, just as quietly. ā€œI donā€™t know. I just know when we saw him the other nightā€¦ it confirmed everything. Everything I felt before. And it scares me.ā€
ā€œIt is scary.ā€
ā€œWhat does this mean, Rob? Am Iā€¦?ā€ He couldnā€™t finish the question.
ā€œI donā€™t know, Steve. Only you can answer that.ā€ Her arm tightened around his middle. ā€œBut the good news is, you donā€™t have to know tonight. Or tomorrow. Or next week. You donā€™t have to label yourself as anything that doesnā€™t feel right. Justā€¦ take it a day at a time. Just like I am.ā€
