#THIS WAS SUUUUUCH A CUTE CONCEPT

[blindmagdalena]

Concept: Reader who had touch starvation before they met Homelander and so they absolutely thrive on his clinginess after not being touched for so long. Homelander would be so whipped.

"Don't go." Homelander pauses, looking down. You're still in bed, covers pulled all the way up to your chin. The corner of his mouth twitches. You look needy. Cute. "Investor meeting in half an hour," he laments. "How long's it take to get to it?" You ask, slipping your hand out to reach for him. He evaluates you for a moment. You can already see his resolve crumbling. "Five minutes." Perks of living where you work. You smile, and nothing more need be said. You lift the blanket, and he eases himself down next to you. You snuggle in against him, bringing the blanket over him. His arms snake around you in turn, pulling you in tight against his chest. It doesn't matter that you've remained snug under the blankets, he's still somehow warmer than you. You think it must be a furnace in him that powers those eyes of his. Anyone else would be smothered by either of you. Not a moment goes by that the two of you aren't pressed against one another, holding hands, entangling your fingers in each others hair. You've craved this level of intimacy your entire life, just as he has. "You're a bad influence," he rumbles through a smile. "You love me," you counter playfully. "I do," he responds, more firmly and sincerely than you anticipated. Homelander winds up very late for his meeting.

Infinite you update was SOOO GOOD im obsessed your writing is absolutely amazing! Now that Kitten is going to be with Harry while also being with Ethan what if Kitten and Ethan go out on a date (even though let’s be real kitten cannot get Harry off her mind) but she still I giving him a chance anyways and one thing leads to another maybe they just kiss and stuff because obv. She’s still sleeping with Harry or I’m not sure how they’re going to go about that yet but. What if Ethan accidentally leaves a little mark on her neck or somewhere or something and Harry sees it and goes absolutely ballistic. Like hell play nice and be nice like he said we would but he doesn’t realize how too far gone he is with her when he sees another man left a mark on her I feel like he would be so JEALOUS like literally absolutely lose it in the bedroom lmao compared to how possessive he got about kitten even cumming to her “book boyfriends” let alone another man even trying to touch her in that way 🫢. Just a thought I had floating in my mind. But miss firefly your writing NEVER fails you truly have a gift all of your work is just *chefs kiss* looking forward to the next update🫶🏻✨.

OH MY GOD THE WAY I'M SCREAMING!!!! This is literally so nice and so cute and so sweet???? Thank you so much for reading and being so wonderful, I will actually implode???

This is SUUUUUCH A GOOD IDEA OMFG?? I am definitely gonna remember that but even if we can't maybe do it, I am def gonna do a concept of it bc this man would crack a tooth from how hard he's clenching his jaw asljsdf

And Rebecca would just, "....my dude, seriously, you did this. This is literally your fault??? "

And he would be annoyingly oblivious ALFJSDF

Phanfic Finder Fest 🥰✨

this was such an outstanding challenge, i loved digging into tags i wouldn’t usually (lookin at you, tentacles 👀) and finding pieces that fit the trope but often w a little twist— it was also interesting to see things i’d assume had loads of fic written for it (like Portugal 🌞) don’t have quite so much as i’d have figured ..... and now i’m itching to write and rectify that! i also loved digging into pieces that haven’t been commented on in years and that i might have missed out on if not for the fest 💞💞

1. Fake Relationship

“Everlasting Friend” (6k, M) by @tortitabby 

this is a trope that always delivers, i feel, so it was pretty hard to pick among so many great ones. in this fic, i especially love the motivation behind the fake relationship (phil wanting to just Show his family that he’s queer by bringing a boyfriend home, it feels very relatable, kinda mirrors what my own plan for coming out was tho i didn’t drag a friend into it alsdfjdjs) dan’s struggle was so well done, and i always dig a penpal plot! 👏😭

2. Dirty Dancing / Grinding

“build me up (like a sandcastle)” (1k, M) by @i-am-my-opheliac 

god there’s so much to love in this teasingly saturated fic 😩❤️ the atmosphere in this is so dreamy and ethereal, and often i’d think of a piece w this vibe as “cinematic” but this somehow feels even more intimate than that. the alcohol and the weed and the sweat and the sand, the whole piece really seems to exist in slow motion— it’s like a music video 

3. ft. Dan’s Family

“Formula Won” (3.3k, G) by @jamie-with-a-g  

love this fic’s sense of pacing and use of flashbacks (also love its justification for dan’s admittedly most het interest ✌️) and the blips we get of karen and baby adrian. i really loved this fic’s approach to dan’s father— it’s a very human take on dan’s father, where instead of a parent being placed on a pedestal or demonized, things are allowed to be more complicated than that. 💞

4. Tentacles

“Love a Good Tentacle” (386, M) by @maetaurus  

this was a short but sweet piece that let’s the reader fill in the blanks for themselves and works really well with the dialogue we have from the final golf video. was this an example of my timidity that i chose a tentacle piece w no sexual content and merely suggestive themes?? maybe! but it was a good fun fic for all that 💁🏻

5. Fic Set in 2011

“care for me when i’m drunk” (1k, G) by @boofphil

love this era, especially as it seems people tend to jump from 2009-2010 honeymoon days right into 2012 angst, and this was just such a tender and loving 2011 piece that really really works 😘 i especially adored the small moment when phil first calls and dan’s ready to laugh w him about how drunk he is, but dan immediately drops that when he realizes just how unwell phil is. very good taking-care-of-you conent :))) 

6. Portugal

“wouldn’t it be nice” (780, T) by opendoor

i wish i could have found the author’s tumblr, but this fic was an absolute delight that manages to capture the eagerness of dnp early days on this trip. it’s such a dreamy fic and i love just how enamoured phil is while also being nervous bc everything still feels so new, that momentary panic that occurs when you think you’ve siad too much but then dissipates when the other person says too much as well 😭😭 they cute! 

7. Cooking Together

“dinner for two” (1.5k, G) by Wiley(doubledoubleu)

this was suuuuuch a cute fic, and i’m terribly sorry i wasn’t able to find this author’s tumblr either, but this university au is just delightful. it’s maybe a stretch to call microwave dinners “cooking together” but i’m willing to make that stretch. ✌️❤️ i love that it was born out of this idea that like “no no, we’re just doing this because it’s convenient” even while they’re so smitten w each other 

8. Sex Toys

“it felt wrong (but it didn’t take long)” (1.7k, M) by @dipnpips  

have been on a wlw-dnp high since the feb fest and was so so pleased to stumble upon this one here! 👩‍❤️‍👩👯 i love Phreya‘s confidence throughout, and also loved what the fic had to say about the idea that Dani can be into sex while still being initially uncomfortable w the idea that she deserves pleasure as well, it’s a concept that perfectly balances Dan’s sense of not deserving some things w how different his experiences would be through the lens of womanhood. 

9. Multiple Orgasms

“let our bodies make memories” (3.4k, E) by @symmetricdnp

this is a fic that really stands out to me among the use of multiple orgasms where it was kinda situational and spontaneous— i feel usually the trope is utilized as part of a scene where the characters very much intended multiple orgasms, and there’s just something infinitely charming about the surprise involved in dan going for two here. their bants and characterization are perfection; i really love this one 🙌✨

10. First Person POV

“my talents include...” (1.3k, G) by @knlalla

first person POV is tricky to master but boy oh boy has ms katie done so 💞😭 this is such a cute explanation for a classic danny emo tweet, and i really really love that moment where dan, after having felt needy for the entire fic, immediately feels a little silly once phil asks him what’s going on. because even while wanting attention, sometimes it can feel like too much to ask for it. and i love that phil so readily gives it to him anyway!

In line with disappointing ride expereinces obv I’ve not been on the ride just seen a ride through but based on my expectations Velocicoaster is suuuuuch a let down. I anticipated something at least in the veing of the Hagrid’s Motorbike coaster in Wizarding world. You know like that part in Jurassic World where the velociraptors are running along with the motorbike? Shit was sick. Like I want bike themed ride vehicles and a super cool theme set up that makes it look like youre actually racing through a jungle. But I guess I misunderstood the concept they were going for and its more like an immersive attraction in the actual Jurassic Wolrd, a close encounter experience sort of deal. 

The Queue has a pretty interesting setup though including our little DNA pal from the first movie teaching about Velociraptors, Dr Wu giving a little briefing before the ride, and a cute little bunch of easter eggs in a bookshelf in the queue that includes Ian Malcolm’s book ‘How the World Will End.’
