I have an idea but it's set in an alternate universe :

Ruben is a personal trainer and he helps training reader because she has a health issue and gym/training is one of the ways to overcome her issue. I don't have anything in my mind right now regarding the health issue so it's up to you to develop that part 😁

What a lovely way to end these seven days of requests. Thank you ❤️

SEVEN DAYS OF REQUESTS 3.0

(DAY 7)

Ruben Dias x Reader - Made of Glass

+18

Enjoy!

"One more, you can do it!"

"I can't do it Ruben."

"Yes you can. Come on Y/N, one more step."

"No, Ruben. You're pushing me too hard."

"Y/N, it's just one step. You can do it."

He was right about that. You put everything into taking that one step. Your last step before your legs buckled beneath you. Fortunately, Ruben was the to catch you. He was always there to catch you when you fell.

"Fuck." You winced as your hands touched the floor. Ruben caught you just in time with his arm around your stomach. However, he did not prevent you from scrubbing your knees.

"Are you okay?" Ruben picked you up and carried you over to the nearest bench. You hated when he did that. It reminded you of the times you fell as a child. How your parents would get so anxious to let you outiside and play with your friends, fearing that you would hurt yourself again. However, doctors told you that having fragile bones will come with its challenges in life, and up until today, you have always been able to handle those challenges by yourself.

"I should put a band-aid on that knee. Other than that, everything looks fine."

"Don't bother." You told Ruben, who had gotten up to retrive the gyms' first aid kit.

"Y/N, but you're bleeding?"

"It doesn't matter. I want to go again." You made the effort to stand up. However, your legs quickly retaliated, wobbling beaneath you, making it impossible for you to walk unless supporting yourself. Luckily, you found Ruben's bicep, clinging onto it for dear life.

"That's it, I'm driving you home." Ruben said and did not give you time to protest. You drove home in silence, with Ruben stopping the car right outside of your apartment complex.

"I'm sorry if I pushed you too hard today." He said, shutting off the car engine.

"Isn't that your job?" You chuckled.

"It's what you pay me for, yes. But I tend to forget that you're...."

"Weak." You nodded and looked to your hands.

"Not weak." Ruben sighed. "I was gonna say fragile."

"It's the same thing, Ruben, and you know it."

"It's not."

"Whatever." You cracked open his car door, making the attempt to step out of Ruben's car. However, you quickly realized the effects of today's workout. How it left you more fragile than normal, completely unable to walk.

"I got you." Ruben appeared before you faster than you could comprehend. He did not hesitate to bend down and pick you up in his arms, carrying you inside your apartment building.

"Somedays are worse..." You said. Ruben unlocked your apartment door and carried you to the living room, setting you down on the couch. "But the fatigue will ware off eventually."

Ruben did not look as convinced. It was clear that he refused to leave you alone until he was sure that you were okay. This has only happened once before after one of your sessions and even back then, before the two of you had gotten to know each other, Ruben promised to stay with you as long as you needed him to.

"Here, drink some water." He said, passing you a bottle from your fridge.

"You don't have to do this." You sighed and fell back on the couch after taking a few sips of water. You found the remote and turned on the TV.

"I don't think it's a good idea to wait it out." Ruben said regarding you skeptically as you relaxed on the couch.

"It usually just takes a few minutes." You assured. "I'll be back on my feet in no time."

Ruben still didn't look convinced. "We have to increase the blod circulation in your legs." He said.

"We?"

"Yes, we. I'll help you stretch."

"Oh, boy. Here we go again."

Ruben had already joined you on the couch, massaging the bottom of your feet. All though it felt amazing, all you wished was for Ruben to leave you alone. You were already embarrassed enough, self-conscious about the fact that your clothes still smelled of sweat. Ruben, on the other hand, smelled amazing. Like liquid soap and a dash of aftershave.

"Please, Ruben, this is really not necessary. I don't want to be a burden."

"You're not a burden."

"I know, I just—"

"Y/N." Ruben stiffened, regarding you sternly. "You're not a burden to me, okay? Not to anyone, for that matter."

You heart fluttered. "Ruben I..."

"It doesn't matter." He said. "Just let me take care of you."

"Okay."

You fell back on your couch and let Ruben take care of you. He was obviously everything you wanted in a man. Kind, strong, and handsome. The undisputed three. However, you were quite convinced that a guy like him could never be interested in his opposite, a girl like you.

"Is this okay?" Ruben moved on to message the lower part of your back as you turned over to lay on your stomach. "Y/N, you have to tell me if what I'm doing is okay or not."

"It's okay." You sniffled, having failed to answer him the first time. Ruben stopped what he was doing, a gentle hand on your back. "Y/N?"

"Please, Ruben. I'm fine, really."

"You don't sound fine."

He was right, and you weren't. Your emotions bubbled up, causing unwanted tears to flood your eyes. You tried to hide them by nuzzling your face against the cuchens. Unfortunately, Ruben felt your body shiver. His expression softened as he made you look at him. It was the first time he saw you crying.

"Ruben, I..." You tried to excuse your tears, but Ruben wouldn't let you. His hand on your cheek forced you to look at him as his thumb swiped away your tears. "No one is weak for showing emotions." He said, with a voice so rich and so deep that a part of you wondered if he was getting emotional as well. "You're not weak, Y/N. You're just human."

"A very fragile human." You chuckled. "I'm starting to believe the kids that used to tell me that I was made of glass."

"Well, believe me." Ruben tilted your head, his gaze soft and kind. "You're not made out of glass. The complete opposite. You're made out of resilience and whatever made the stubborn and beautiful woman that you are."

Again, your heart almost escaped your chest, blood rushing in every direction of your body.

"What?" Ruben said, seeing your expression.

"You....you think I'm beautiful?"

Ruben's eyes widened when he realized. "Oh, I....well I....." His cheeks blossmed. "Y/N, I....."

"Yes?"

"I didn't mean to...."

"To?"

He shook his head, snapping out of it. "I'm sorry if I've made you uncomfortable."

"Uncomfortable, why?"

"Well, I'm not exactly in a good position to...." His hand left your face. So did his other hand on your thigh. "I'm your trainer. It would be highly inappropriate for us to..."

"To?"

"To...you know."

"I do?" You frowned.

He sighed. "Y/N, it would be highly inappropriate for us to engage in anything....sexual."

"But what if I want to?"

"You do?"

You shrugged. "Only if you want to."

He looked tempted. Considering it. However, with furrowed brows, he shook his head. "No. We can't. We can't because of your legs."

"My legs?" You looked down on them and realized that you were able to wag your toes again.

"Their tired Y/N. You're tired from today's workout."

"Right, tired." You brought your knees up to your chin, wrapping your arms around your legs. "Or perhaps you mean fragile?"

Ruben's stiffened. His entire demeanor uncertain. "Y/N, I never meant to hurt...."

"My feelings? Yeah, guys have told me that all my life. Don't worry, I've learned to protect myself from guys like you."

He frowned. "Guys like me?"

"Yes, people who pity others for their disabilities rather than recognizing their abilities and what they can do. Who they truly can become."

"Y/N, there's no doubt in my mind of your abilities. You're stronger than you realize, and It's my job to help you realize that. However, it is not my job to fall in love with my clients, and I'm afraid that I've done just that."

"What?"

Ruben nodded, his hand on your thigh. "Your beautiful Y/N, flaws and all. But you're also stubborn, too stubborn."

"What can I say...." You smiled.  "I know what I want." You pulled his shirt, tugging Ruben towards you. He resisted at first but eventually went down willingly, your lips colliding in a gentle kiss. The kiss lasted as long as you allowed it, with Ruben pushing you down to lay beaneath him on the couch. There, his hand wrapped around your throat, squeezing it gently, teasingly. The sounds of your smacking lips filled the living room, dimming the sounds of the TV.

Although Ruben convinced you to be the one to keep it in his pants, it did not take long for his erection to poke you in the stomach, reaveling the size of him.

"I want you." You moaned.

Ruben gritted his teeth, stroking his hips against your thigh. "I want you too, baby. Trust me. But you should really take it easy."

"Fine." You pushed Ruben off of you and came to a rest on your knees. "I should take it easy, but not you." With a hand on his chest, you pushed Ruben down to sit back on the couch. He did so with his legs spread, his erection a visible bulge through his pants.

You slid down onto the floor, getting to work right away, pulling down his shorts, setting his dick free. Ruben groaned as you grabbed onto his large shaft, squeezing it gently in your hand.

"Do you want me to suck it?" You asked, your lips already pressed against its tip.

"Suck it, blow it...do whatever you want, baby." He was eager, so eager that it made you giggle. Nevertheless, placing one hand on his thigh for support, you took him into your mouth, letting the size of him tighten your jaw.

"Fuck....yes." He sighed. Even more so as your head started moving up and down, sucking him clean.

"Yes baby, just like that."

You showed no signs of slowing down. However, with a hand gripping the back of your hair, Ruben slowed the motion, derminating the speed to one he liked. "Just like that baby, nice and slow."

Sometimes, he made you go faster. Praising the way you gagged on it before going slow again, allowing you to recover.

"You're such a good girl baby, such a good girl for me."

His dick was soaked in your saliva, the warmth of his skin caressing the insides of your cheeks. Slowly but surely, you edge him closer to his limits. To a point of breaking.

"Fuck baby, I'm gonna cum. I'm gonna cum so hard for you, please don't stop."

You didn't stop. Instead, you upped the pace, adding on to the friction by using your hands. Ruben's head fell back with pleasure, squinting his eyes as he moaned your name.

"Fuuuuck!"

Ruben sighed with the relief. You backed off and wiped the corners of your mouth as he looked to you in disbelief, slightly impressed. "You're crazy, Y/N. The craziest girl I've ever met."

"Thank you." You smiled.

He pulled you up to sit in his lap, kissing your mouth without hesitantion. "No baby, thank you."

A Series of (Un)Fortunate Events (S.R) - sneak peek

After The (Un)Expected, I'm bringing you another (un)original title for a very fluffy fic with some idiots-to-lovers/friends-to-lovers vibes and soft!Steve and maybe some spicy sprinkles going on a hiking trip with other SHIELD agents and Avengers 🏕️☀️

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Agent!reader WC: 400 Warnings: tooth-rotting fluff, a teeny bit of blood, mention of a more serious injury

As soon as you stood up, Steve was carefully cradling the back of your hands, examining the teeny scrapes over your palms, frowny gaze flickering to your knee which you hadn’t even realized you had grazed too.

“We should disinfect that.”

“Steve, I’m fine,” you laughed, even as you let him examine the barely-there bleeding. “Thank you for caring, but it’s literally just a scratch… I’ve had worse.”

He shook his head, his expression darkening a bit. “That’s not comforting and you know it. And any wound, if infected, can be dangerous – I know I don’t have to tell you that.”

You knew instantly what instance he was referring too, a small shudder running up your spine. Yet, the rational part of you argued that there was no comparison, even if the cut on your arm over a month back had not been all that deeper and wider than this.

“That was literally a poisoned blade, Steve-“

“We were about to take one more break before reaching the destination anyway,” he interrupted you, unrelenting. “Let’s head up to that clearing and we’ll rest for a bit. I’ll take care of it, okay?”

“Steve-“

“I’ve got the first aid kit,” Bobbi uttered nonchalantly as she passed you, joining the others who had gone ahead already.

“It’s just a-“

“Captain’s orders,” she almost sing-sang, earning a grin from Daisy who only shrugged, as if to confirm her words.

You sighed, rolling your eyes; acutely not aware that Steve was still holding your hands in his and your body was heating up from inside at the prolonged contact – particularly your chest and something deep within your belly.

You looked up at him, mildly annoyed and rather amused at his insistence and protectiveness. And even though you wouldn't admit that out loud, touched.

“You’re overbearing. You’re lucky I like you,” you scolded him in a whisper.

He only grinned, his worried gaze clearing and lightning up at your feigned outrage, and squeezed your hands before letting go.

“I love you too. Let’s go.”

You bit your cheek as you nodded, reminding yourself for at least the tenth time since you had set off hiking: friends. The keyword of this trip was friends.

It was just really hard to actually remember that when Steve looked at you like that and you could still feel the warm imprint of his hands on yours.

-.🏕️.-

Yes, I'm posting this partly as a motivation to finish it as soon as possible 🤭

Yes, the amount of fluff packed into the story is bad for my health, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make🫡

Yes, I'm hoping you' enjoyed/will enjoy 💕

Yes, we're at 7,5k and not done, thank you for asking 😂 It's a series of (un)fortunate events, it takes words to get there😁

[bks-blogs]

My dedicated pups. You've waited for this. The actual pilot episode of 101 Dalmatian Street is finally HERE! Viewers can watch the short pilot intro, free of cuts and incomplete footage and audio!

I hope the 101 Dalmatian Street community have been looking forward to finally getting their paws on the episode! Believe it or not, the pilot has been leaked along with other DIsney animated shows just last night, and Phrontistery originally planned to release this much later than that, but with everything happening, this is a good time to do so!

And HERE is the actual full 20-minute footage of the actual pilot episode itself from 2017! If you're familiar this one, yes, it is indeed an early animatic of the 2-parter episode "London, We Have a Problem".

The pilot, if you can tell, has a LOT of written dialogues, scenes and content that was remarkably absent in the final version! There's a LOT to unpack in this 20-minute video, so I urge you to absorb all the details within it and watch it for yourselves!

Please, enjoy! And let your followers know about the pilot!😁

Can you write something about tsitsipas and reader playing with or against each other in a mixed double match? I would love to see them both in action 💗😁

Double Trouble

Pairing: Stefanos Tsitsipas x f!reader

category: fluff

warnings: none

Author’s Note: The reader is very good friends with Denis Shapovalov (her double partner in this imagine - i have a thing for him as we all know, i hope that's ok). I hope you like it, lovely anon! It was great fun to write💙

*Y/N = your name

MY MASTERLIST

(not my gif! credits to the owner/creator!)

♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦ - ♦

“Have you seen the draw?”, you jump out of bed and make your way over to your boyfriend who was sitting on the couch editing his newest vlog video.

Stefanos looks up from his laptop: “Huh?”

“The draw for the mixed doubles!”, you flop down next to him, “We will play each other in second round!”

A grin comes to Stef's lips, and he raises an eyebrow: “You seem quite confident that you and Denis will win your first round.”

You roll your eyes – that’s the same your coaches said when Denis and you decided to also start in the mixed doubles: “Yes, I know that we didn’t play together recently but we’re still a very good team!”

The passion with which you say that makes Stef laugh softly: “I know, I’m just teasing.”, he brushes a strand of hair from his face, his gaze becomes thoughtful, “That’s gonna be a very interesting match…I bet the journalists will ask us about it in the press conferences after our single matches tomorrow.”

“Really? I mean, yes it will be special, but not THAT special.”, you wrinkle your nose as you rock your head from one side to the other, “I don’t see a reason why we should talk about it that much.”

“Honestly?”, he closes the laptop and frowns, “I think it will be very special. I mean, that’s the first time we will play against each other. We’ll have to fight each other and in the end one of us will lose, you know?”, he looks at you with big eyes, his tone is serious, “Just imagine: I’m hitting an ace during the last set and that’s the reason you lose the match.”,  he pauses for a moment before starting again, “Wouldn’t that be a strange feeling? One of us would be happy and the other one is sad?”

“Stef, it’s just a tennis match.”

“And you don't take this seriously enough!”

Instead of discussing it further with him, you slide closer to him and kiss him for a long time.

*** *** *** *** *** ***

Stefanos and Maria were leading 4:1 in the first set.

Your double partner and you simultaneously sit down on your bench and let out a loud sigh. While your partner grabs one of the drinking bottles, your eyes are fixed on your opponents – or rather on one opponent – as they walk past you to get to their bench.

“Stefanos looks so good in these colours – Adidas did great work with creating this kit”, you think while following the Greek with your eyes, “The light-coloured top contrasts beautifully with the dark trousers, which are almost skin-tight and-“

An elbow poking you in the side interrupts your thoughts: “Could you please stop staring at his ass for a moment?”, your partner's voice is like an energetic whisper, “I’m trying to focus!”

You feel your cheeks heat up and you clear your throat to suppress your embarrassment: “What?”

“Stop staring at your boyfriend! He is the enemy now!”

“I’m not staring!”

Denis says nothing in response, he just raises an eyebrow and shakes his head before he gets up from the bench to change sides.

“Hey! I’m not starring!”, you repeat as soon as you are next to him on the court, “I was…lost in thoughts, you know? Thinking about our strategy.”

“My dearest Y/N, don’t lie into my face, we both know that’s not true. Because whatever was going on inside your head: it wasn’t about our match strategy. I would even go so far as to say that it was all about Tsitsipas. Am I right?”

Unfortunately you couldn’t think of any argument against his words, so you just look at him with narrow eyes: “Why are you so annoying, Shapovalov?”

Denis just laughs at you and waits for the ball kids to hand him the balls for his service game.

*** *** *** *** *** ***

The rain came out of nowhere. The umpire had no other possibility than to stop the tiebreak.

“To be honest, I didn’t think we would make it to the tiebreak.”, Denis leans against the wall in the tunnel. You were told to wait in here until the umpire gets new information how to deal with the situation or until the rain stops.

You raise your head to look at your double partner: “Why not?”

Maria also looks over at you, Stef kneels a little apart from you to tie his shoes.

“I don’t know…you just seemed very distracted the whole set.”, Denis' grin has something suggestive, and he nods over to Stef.

Maria understands what he means and starts to laugh while she looks back and forth between you and Stefanos.

“Stop saying such things! The whole set you were making fun of me!”, you know your face is turning red like a tomato, you shoot him angry glances “I don’t know why I agreed to play doubles with you!”

Stef’s making his way back at you, first he looks at you but he knows you well enough to know you won’t answer any questions, so he looks at Denis, asking curiously: “Why is she angry at you?”

Your head snaps up and you shake your head vigorously as you literally beg Denis: “Denis, no! Please don’t-“

But your friend just grins at you and answers: “Because I pointed out that she isn’t entirely focused on the match but on you.”

“I hate you.”, you mutter while your face turns even redder.

Stef doesn't say a word. He just blinkes a few times before he softly smiles at you.

*** *** *** *** *** ***

You won the second set. Somehow.

Denis looks at you while you take a big sip from your water bottle: “How the hell did you return his last service?!”

“What do you mean?”, you nearly spiled the bottle because you tried to closed it with just one hand, the other hand was searching for the banana in your bag, “It was quite obvious that he was going for this variety?”

“What? I…what? No?”, Denis looks at you puzzled, “I mean, I couldn’t read his serving motion…how the hell did you do that?!”

“I’ve practised with Stef countless times and watched him practise even more. I guess, that’s why I can read his service game.”, you shrug.

And suddenly you realise the weight of your words.

Yes, you could read his last service game but it’s so much more.

You’ve been together for almost a year now – although it feels like you’ve been together for a little eternity. Most of the time you could read each other like an open book.

Stefanos always exactly knows how you are feeling and what to say to cheer you up or to encourage you when you’re down. At the same time, you always seem to know what Stef is thinking, what is on his mind and what is going through his head (although, to be honest, it has to be said that with Stef it was a lot of different things at the same time).

Maybe your ability to read his game wasn’t caused by your shared practise time but because you know this man like no other.

Your heart aches a bit as it hits your how much you love him.

Denis doesn’t notice your lost-in-thought look, instead he scowls at you: “Where was this service-game-reading during the first set? And especially during the tiebreak?!”

“And where was your first service during said time?!”

Denis says nothing in reply but makes a face.

After a few seconds of tense silence you both start laughing at the same time.

*** *** *** *** *** ***

Leaving the court after your winner interview, you fumble your mobile phone out of your bag. There were several messages on the display, but you just open the messages from Stefanos. He must have sent those three messages right after he left the court and came into the locker room.

Message 1: »I hate playing against you. Next time we’re playing as a mixed double. Together.«

Message 2: »You played amazing ❤️ And I love how happy and proud you looked after you aced me and won the deciding tiebreak. Congrats! 🥳«

Message 3: »Also: Hurry up with your press conference! I want to celebrate your win!🥂🥰«

You smile at his messages but can’t suppress a deep sigh: Yes, you are happy that Denis and you won the match but at the same time…you feel so sorry for Stef. And you feel kinda bad for winning while he lost.

Stef is right: it was a strange feeling playing each other.

The First Thing I'll Do....

Spoilers for season 5, remember in season 1 on the monorail the kids were talking about what they missed at home and what they'd do when they got back? Well, I wrote a quick story about it.

This is the first time I've tried to write a story involving texting as a main plot point, so just bear with me. And you can probably figure out who's who. Enjoy!

. . .

The first one came a week after the gang got home, not to Costa Rica, but once the doctors deemed them healthy enough to leave for their real homes. Jurassic World had provided each teen with a new phone as an “I’m sorry for leaving you for dead on the island” gift.

It was so random, no one knew what to think of it:

Track Star: Um, Sammy? Why are you hugging a cow? 

In the group chat Sammy had sent out a picture of her hugging a brown cow with a black face. 

Farm Girl: Remember when we were on the monorail? Yall said what yall’d do first when yall got home… Well, this is what I did! 🐮

Super Star: OMG! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!

Dino Nerd: me too.

Jungle Boy: How do you even remember that?

Mr. VIP: Hey, is that Bessie?

Farm Girl: Yes it is! I’ve missed her so much, I went straight for the pasture before dad pulled me back to the house to see mom and the others. 😁

Mr. VIP: Only you, Sammy… 

Farm Girl: Ok, now yall have one week to send your pictures, or I’ll come take them myself!

Another picture popped up, this time, Brooklyn was hugging her coffee machine, smiling like a lunatic.

Super Star: Done! Who’s next?

Over the next week, the gang kept sending their pictures, the next one being Darius, his V.R. Headset pulled above his eyes as he held the controllers and smiled at the camera. 

Dino Nerd: turns out the jurassic world video game isn’t as scary as it used to be.

Jungle Boy: Yeah, running from real ones will do that to you.

The next day, Ben held his fanny pack, now clean, up. On the table in front of him sat a small water bottle, an open first aid kit, a small flashlight, a carob bar and juice, a small pad of paper with some crayons, and some folded paper towels.

Track Star: Ben… do those band-aids have dinosaurs on them?

Jungle Boy: They glow in the dark, providing another source of light!

Mr. VIP: Of course they do.

A few days later, Yaz sent a picture of her in her new running gear, lined up with a few other kids on a track. On her face was a smile, her eyes full of determination.

Track Star: Mom and the doctors won’t let me run very far, but a few of my track buddies let me sneak into their 100 yard race earlier.

Mr. VIP: Did you win?

Dino Nerd: just be careful of that leg.

Track Star: Yeah, I know. And yes, I won.

“Hey, what's got you so happy?”

Darius looked up to see his brother, Brand, walk into his room. “The gang and I are sending pictures of  the first thing we said we’d do when we got home, it’s nice to see everyone so happy even though we’re so far apart.”

“That’s great Darius, but then why does Kenji look so sad?”

“What?” Kenji asked.

“Well, all week you’ve had this look that, I can’t really explain it other than you look sad.” Brand explained.

“Yeah Kenj, I’ve noticed it too; You ok?”

Kenji looked between the two brothers, and faked a smile: “Oh yeah, I’m fine! It’s just that, I said the first thing I’d do was go bowling in the basement. But I can’t do that now, so I have nothing to show the others.”

Darius and Brand shared a look, “Kenji-”

“Really dude, I’m fine.” He stood up to leave the room, “I’m just getting a snack, you want anything?”

“No thank you,” Darius sighed as his new brother left the room.

Once he was out of hearing range, the remaining brothers began to make a plan.

. . . .

“Ok, where are you taking me?” It was the next day, and Darius and Brand had practically pushed Kenji into the family’s car.

“You’ll see when we get there,” Darius said mysteriously. 

“Or, you could tell me now?” Kenji suggested, “Seriously guys, this feels suspiciously like kidnapping.”

“How do you know what that feels like?” Brand asked from the driver’s seat.

“What? Didn’t you guys go through anti-kidnapping classes when you were little?” He asked sarcastically.

“Uh, no.”

Kenji seemed shocked, “really? Then how did you avoid being kidnapped?” 

“Stranger Danger?”

“Common Sense?” Brand looked up, “we’re here.”

Kenji still couldn’t see where he was, until he opened the door and read the sign. “You brought me to a Mexican restaurant?”

“What? No,” Darius turned Kenji around.

Kenji’s entire face lit up, “no way…”

“I know it’s not as fancy as your private one, and no way are we going to let you win, but-”

Kenji interrupted Darius by pulling him and Brand into a hug. “It’s perfect!”

A few minutes later the group chat updated, this time Kenji was holding a blue bowling ball in front of their bowling lane, he was smiling like a ninny and looked so proud.

Farm Girl: Good for you Kenji!

Track Star: I was wondering when you’d post.

Super Star: That's so sweet!

Jungle Boy: Why’d you pick an 8 pound ball?

Mr. VIP: Shut up Ben!

About half an hour later another picture showed up, this one was a scoreboard reading: Capt: 98, Dino: 104, B-man: 90. And then Darius’s phone said:

Dino Nerd: Brandon here, I totally let them win, just so you know.

Mr. VIP: Is that why you keep changing balls and yelling at the pins?

Dino Nerd: Shut up Kenji!

. . . .

I hope you liked the story, I wrote it in like 15 minutes, so it might seem a little sloppy. Also, I am still working on my other story, if anyone here knows that one, writer's block stinks.

I hope you have a great day!

Could I request a KK3/CK Terry scenario where he's broken into our house for some sleuthing and we catch him in the act?

---

To clarify, I mean when he's sneaking around like he does in KK3 where he breaks into Miyagi's house to gain info on him and Daniel. I don't see him being friends with the reader, but maybe they've just started dating?

I shall try my best anon 😁💚

Things had been a little off for you recently, you had someone break into your house while you were at work one day, and it seemed they managed to get away with a few of your expensive lamps from the living room. Thankfully that was all they took, no valuables or things like TVs and consoles because before they could try to take them, you arrived home and called the police. Only one of the 3 guys was arrested because the other 2 managed to escape, but it was still a bad time you had gone through. You had been with your new boyfriend Terry for a few months now, and when you told him about this he was furious. You felt safe enough with him to give him a spare key to your home, incase of an emergency like the break in happening again. He swore to protect you, so knowing his fighting skills, if they were to return, he could kick their #sses.

One night you were snuggled up in bed upstairs, reading a book with your bedside lamp on, when you heard a thudding noise downstairs. You shot up straight away in your bed, frightened that they had come back. It made it even worse when you realise your phone is downstairs so you couldn't call Terry. Sh#t, you thought to yourself, you slowly and quietly climbed out of bed and reached under your mattress, pulling out a cricket bat. At least you had something you could hit them over the head with when you left the bedroom, it still didn't make you feel less scared. You walk down tne stairs as slowly as you could, trying your hardest not to make a noise. And in doing that, you could hear where the person was, in the living room. Your heart is racing, you feel like your going to pass out, but you weren't going to let this happen again.

"Get the f#ck out of my house!!!" You scream as you jump into the room brandishing the cricket bat. "Woh woh Y/N! It's me! Its Terry!" "What the f- Terry?" "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you-" "Terry what the f#ck is wrong with you! What are you doing in my house?!" "I'm sorry baby, I was just installing this" He said pointing to a security alarm system. "Didn't you think to do this when it was day time!? When i knew you would be coming!? Instead of pretty much doing the most ironic thing and breaking into my home just like those men did?!" "I didn't break in, I used the key you gave me" "Terry you are just digging a bigger hole for yourself hear!" "Alright alright I'm sorry, I honestly didn't mean to frighten you. Just put down the bat ok?" Your still angry, but you throw it down into the sofa. "Give me the key Terry" "I was only trying to-" "I said give me the key Terry! Now!" He looks quite put out, but he completely understood why you feel that way.

He hands you the key "I'll call you when I'm ready, now please leave" "I'm sorry Y/N....I'm going now" You walk him to the door and lock it behind him, making sure before going to bed to check every window and door twice. You texted Terry the morning after and told him you need a few days by yourself, he understood and agreed not to come around and see you until you were ready. During that time, you take a look at the security stuff he left behind, and your suprised how advanced and high tech it is. It's very expensive and it's a very popular and well reviewed piece of kit, it seemed he tried to get the best for you. You didn't forget what happened, you understood why he wanted to set it up, but he didn't go about it in the right way.

You gave him a call and asked if he was available to come around for a chat, he said yes and within 20 minutes, he arrived at your place. Your both sat in the living room as you talk about what happened. "I know I shouldn't have come in during the night Y/N, that was stupid of me. It was just the only time I had available and I wanted to make sure your house was safe" "You can understand why I am upset though right? After the real thing happened, I felt terrified that it had happened again, and you know how badly I was affected before" "I know, I didn't think you would be awake" "And is that suposed to make me feel better?" "No i just, I just didn't think about that at the time, I should have told you in the first place" "You've apologised to me, and I accept your apology. But you can understand why I wont allow you to have my spare key again" "Yes I do"

"Good" "So, is there anything I can do to help earn your trust again?" "I do trust you Terry, but if you want to prove it and help me feel safer....you can install this safety kit. NOW that I'm awake and I KNOW that your hear" You smile at eachother and share a little giggle. "Of course I will do that. And again, I'm so sorry for what I did" "Just put the safety system up Terry, and if you keep apologising like this, I'll have to think of another way to keep that mouth of yours busy..." "Ohhhh, I quite like the sound of that"

Kit's Diary

Chapter 10

Dear Ty,

I didn't write anything last week because nothing exciting happened apart from Maria and Henry joining Sam, Leo and me at lunch.

You won't believe it, but I actually got the courage to ask Jem and Tessa to make an appointment with a therapist. They also agreed that a mundane therapist would probably be traumatised by my history, so they called one of the werewolves Hazel suggested and scheduled an appointment for me. Afterwards they also made an appointment with a doctor because of my bad breathing. But the appointment for that is next week, so I can't tell you much about it yet.

Yesterday I had the appointment with my therapist, who is an older lady, originally from Ecuador, and obviously a werewolf. Her name is Leah O'Sullivan and she makes you feel like you're talking to your grandma. After complaining about the "ignorant" Shadowhunters, who "always keep traumatising children, but refuse to give them therapists and just label them as crazy and put them in a hospital for the rest of their days" (I agree), she asked me to tell her about myself, or rather what I want her to know. I told her everything I told Hazel and the others, but after she ensured me that she won't tell anyone if I or someone I want to protect (you) did something illegal because then she would loose her job, I also told her about the thing with Livvy. I also thought about telling her that I am the First Heir, but I will probably ask Tessa and Jem first, if it's smart to do this. Then the appointment was already over and she gave me some "homework". She wants me to tell her about my life before I knew I was a Shadowhunter and about what I remember from my childhood at the appointment next week, so I'm supposed to write down everything that I can remember and want her to know, so I don't forget something that might be important. I also told her about the diary and she thought that it is a good idea to write down what I'm thinking about.

So, we planned a new appointment for next week and I went home. After dinner I wanted to write this entry, but fell asleep in the middle of it, so here I am, writing it today instead. Whoops. But now I have to stop because I need to to some reading for homework. With "some" I mean a text of 30 pages. Ugh.

Nevertheless, I hope you had a great day... or rather a great week and more motivation to do your homework than I do. I really should get started.

Lots of love,

Kit

Author's note:

Yes I'm still alive. I just had no time to continue this story as I had some exams. They were pretty easy (apart of Latin 🤮) and now I have a bit more free time. I still have to write a 15 page long work about Spartan Women for my seminar though and I'm as motivated as Kit is, I just need to read way more...

But that's not what I wanted to tell you, actually I just wanted to let you know that I never went to a therapist and also don't study anything psychology related, so I don't know what a therapy session is supposed to look like. I'm just guessing what might happen. If you notice that I describe something, that wouldn't happen in an actual therapy session, please feel welcome to correct me. Thank you 😁

The Chosen S4 episodes 5 and 6

Spoilers ahead, so more under the cut.

Jesus has joined The Gang on the road. They've been discussing the need for finding somewhere to spend the night, that's both affordable and won't draw dangerous levels of attention to Jesus' presence.

He suggests that they head to Bethany, to the home of his friend Lazarus and his sisters Martha and Mary.

Eema Mary is also staying there after having to leave Nazareth.

En route to Bethany, The Gang encounter a troop of Roman soldiers. They are permitted to compel any Jews to carry their kit for them, but for no more than a mile.

The Gang, Judas especially, are perplexed that Jesus puts up no resistance. In fact, after a mile, He volunteers to keep on going.

We see the point he's making, when the Romans just don't know what to make of Jews volunteering their services. The power balance has shifted.

Now the Romans are wrong footed and end up just taking their kit back.

Arriving at Bethany they're warmly welcomed, though Eema Mary is currently out, exercising her considerable skills of gathering edible berries and roots. She'll join them later.

Sister Martha jumps to it as hostess, getting food ready for the guests.

Sister Mary joins The Gang, in listening to Jesus talk.

Martha finally snaps and tells Jesus that she feels out upon, when Sister Mary isn't helping here and no one mentions it.

The Chosen has handled this moment well.

Jesus is all gentleness. He makes it clear what a wonderful job Martha is doing (and yes he says, Mary could be helping her more).

Hospitality is after all a cornerstone of their society.

But he explains that right now, listening to what he has to say will nourish everyone even more than Martha's excellent food is doing. So Mary's doing something equally valuable.

Members of The Gang go to fetch the remaining food from the kitchen. (Does Mary help this time? I'll have to look again and see. 🤔)

Jesus invites Martha to sit and listen with the rest.

Eema Mary arrives back and Jesus is delighted to see her. Mother and Son withdraw for some alone time. Mary washes Jesus hair as they chat.

He tells her of His frustration at not always getting His messages across, even with The Gang.

Mary reminds Him that they're only human.

'I'm human too'. Jesus points out.

Mary says that having changed His soiled swaddling clothes, she knows that he is. 😁

I love their relationship dynamic!

They're interrupted by Judas. He asked earlier for permission to go and see a friend living nearby. Is this a good time for him to go? Jesus says 'yes'.

It turns out to be Judas' old employer/business partner(?)

He's rather salty at seeing Judas again, and even more so at hearing that Judas isn't making a profit out of the mission. He to all intents and purposes suggests that Judas put his hand in the till.

This guy is bad news. 😡

As episode 5 draws to a close and everyone is having a sociable evening after supper.

We see Judas helping himself from funds.

*********************

Episode 6 covers the 8 nights of Hannukah

We hear Jesus telling the story of The Maccabees and The Dedication of The Temple.

We see the lamps being lit. prayers said and songs sung.

The Gang exchange gifts with each other, money has been set aside from funds for this.

One sweet moment sees John and Matthew giving each other writing related gifts. John gives Matthew a new stylus, Matthew gives John a new supply of parchment.

After Simon Peter called Pax with Matthew, The Thunder Brothers are doing likewise.

Big James discusses with Matthew about the money needed to buy new sandals for Thomas, who, quite understandably isn't feeling exactly festive right now.

But they don't want him feeling excluded.

Matthew checks the money chest and suspects that something is missing.

He speaks to Judas, who gets spikely defensive. (Yes, the rot is setting in. 😥)

He's got an idea about raising funds, which involves having somewhere in each community where people can donate money, if they wish.

Not surprisingly everyone points out the weak spots.

It's suggested that his best move would be to ask what Jesus thinks.

Judas finds their Rabbi.outside. He's watching a shepherd with his sheep, knowing them all by name.

The Gang already know that on the last night of the festival, which will be the next day to this, he'll be taking them into Jerusalem, where he will be teaching.

They all have a bad feeling about this.

When Judas tells him.his idea. All Jesus does is tell him to pay close attention to the words He'll be speaking tomorrow.

Is it me, or is Jesus looking at Judas as one who already knows what this man is going to do?

It turns out that all The Gang's misgivings were well founded.

Jesus pulls no punches.

Outside The Temple he gives his Good Shepherd speech, about laying down his life for his sheep.

He's making it obvious who he's saying that he is.

Senior members of The Sanhedrin are furious. They call it blasphemy

and begin to throw stones. 😮😮😮

James steps in front of Jesus. This is how his head is injured.

The Gang hurry their Rabbi and their wounded brother away from the scene of danger.

Meanwhile, Yusuf has sent a message to Jairus in Capernaum. He's warning about how some members of The Sanhedrin are plotting against Jesus.

Jairus tells Zeb, so he can get word to his sons. Zeb decides that he can't trust anyone else with such sensitive information. So he heads off in pursuit of The Gang himself.

He finds them back at their lodgings, treating James head wound.

As well as finding out just how serious the danger now is. There's some even worse news.

Earlier in the festival, they got news that Lazarus was ill. But Jesus insisted that there was no need for them to go to Bethany.

Now they're told that Lazarus has died. Of course everyone is shocked.

But Jesus'words tell them that what they'll be heading to Bethany for now will be something spectacular.

Re Joe and future Projects: I think it's also important to note that he DID have a new Project with the Trials (which he was absolutely magnificent in btw, like seriously I couldn't take my eyes off him, neither got my friend who hasn't even seen heartstopper and got great reviews for), which besides Fashion week, pretty much took up all his time after A Levels. And from the behind the scenes interviews we got, I wonder if Joe might not veer a little towards theatre? And heartstopper will now film for who knows how long, who knows what he'll have lined up after.

I am genuinely happy for you and your friend who got to see the play, also a bit jealous 😁 honestly I'm not surprised you guys felt that way while watching him perform, I have read similar reviews about Joe, wish I could watch the play too. I agree the trials really was a big deal, I do see it as a project😅. The whole discussion started after me and anons heard rumours about Joe going to LA, lowkey started expecting some sorta announcement, hoping he's signed a movie project or something, I realised later that I was acting immature being all desparate to hear the good news, I also realised Kit and Bash getting new projects was somewhat the reason for such behaviour? I admitted that on my post then I came to know some of his fans (anons) felt the same way. I now know that it's not a race, he's just started, he's got a big future ahead of him and I'm really excited for that, I've said this in my previous asks :)

Yes he gave a brilliant performance on stage, no one would complain if he veers towards theatre. Let's see what the future holds.

Happy Holidays Love 💕🎄🎅🏾

This is an ask for the How I Met Your Mom/How I Married Your Mother series (I ADORE THIS SERIES, YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW)

Are we going to get the reaction of her family about their relationship, how quickly they got together and are now pregnant with twins. We know about Kit and how she feels. Just curious to see. 😁

Oh yes!

You’re going to get all of that and also Chris’s family.

I have an ask for a Family Thanksgiving dinner on my inbox; I will probably convert it to Christmas, so stay tuned, it should be coming soon! I will tag you since your waking for it. 😉

Thank you for the ask, and for your love and support!

Wishing your website was as easy to update as your Insta grid?— yes please! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Sometimes I literally want to do what THAT cat on a GIF does—throw my computer (and all the plugging updates) out the window! 😝😺 There was a time when finding the perfect font, the perfect photos, the perfect “add to wishlist” button in the top right corner of each product (not over, but on top. Yes, right on top! Not a millimeter away!); was all that mattered to me 🫣 The thing is, looking back… I didn’t realized I had lost sight of what my main goal was. All I wanted (and want) to do is create. And make a living out of it. The less amount of time I spend between creating + selling… that should have been my goal.🤭 Who knows how many hours I lost looking for the “perfect” plugin. And THEN making it work. Instead of moving the needle that really mattered 🙈 A year later and all I want to do is undo all the complications I added to my website (+ myself!). 🤪 Maybe you do this too… Sailing your way through running your own business, having to constantly—constantly—remind yourself where is it that you are headed, and how you can get there faster, is hard. ❤️ Wishing you had a “genie” that would make all the website things for you and just leave it nice and shiny ready for you to add ‘MORE YOU!’?!—no throwing computer out the window needed 🤣 THEN. This might be for you!🤩 Our “Custom Website Special Offer” is here and it includes a FREE Mini Brand Kit (Canva version) + a few extra goodies; now through July 15 only. 😍 Swipe left to see the details—link in bio if you fancy an extra peek! 👀 — I do the graphics, and my business partner @rachelklinecreative does the website. Yup, we do that, now you know! 😁 #seedsowing #creating_boldly #thefirstcup (at Lancaster, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cft5pOxOvSM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sharing some play ideas as a #musictherapistmom. When I was an intern in an adult disability facility in Brisbane, I came to know about the #multisensoryroom and it was WOW! It costs a bomb 💣 and I always wonder if I can create a similar set up in my music sessions. And Yes- actually I do! Music is sensorial and that’s when I like to pair up soft music while dimming the lights or pairing it up with laser at the end of a session. If you’re a teacher/ parents who have been to classes and seen soft music pairing up with lights, now you understand it’s function. It’s a calming strategy towards the end of a very energetic music class! Some backgrounds: I have chosen a profession that embrace #neurodiversity and the more I learn the more I believe that EVERYONE including you and me could have different types of #sensoryneeds. You may be a #sensoryseeker or a #sensoryavoider. That understanding has led me to believe that there is No Bad Kids, but just kids whose sensory needs are not met. Only if our sensory needs are satisfied, then we reach an equilibrium, that’s when learning takes place. So I have decided to set up a light table at home and see what effects it has on the children. It was fun to observe the different ways of explorations my 1, 4 and 7 years old have. We used that towards the end of the day to wind down the day. To add more magic to it, I selected a playlist that I like to listen to 😁 cos it’s not always about the kids, but it’s good #selfcare for the parents too!

Hi anon, @quidfree , if you don't mind I'll add some of my own favourite tdbk fics to this list? I know it's been a few years but in case anyone is still hunting for fics, it's one of my favourite pairings and I'd love to share 😁 All fics are COMPLETE and hosted on AO3.

Soft Touch by seventh_time_lucky

Shouto knows that the appropriate thing to do now is to pull his head out of the cupboard, stand up, and explain to Bakugou that he’s looking for the first aid kit. He also knows that if he does that, Bakugou will most likely let go of his hand. And – he doesn’t want that. OR Todoroki gets hit with a quirk that makes him sick unless a particular person is touching him. And that particular person just happens to be Bakugou Katsuki.

15 chapters, 62k words

one of my FAVOURITE tdbk fics of all time.

Excellent characterizations of both Bakugou and Todoroki

I'm a sucker for H/C and this is so good for that

even if i die (it's you) by monomoon

When Bakugou was suddenly and abruptly met with two cold, heterochromatic eyes glaring daggers right back at him, he had two immediate thoughts: "Why does he look like he's plotting my assassination?" and "Why the fuck are his eyes so pretty?" Or; where Todoroki never went to UA and, in rejection of his father's ambitions, became a paramedic; and where pro hero Bakugou Katsuki is just a little bit too intrigued with the heterochromatic man who always glares daggers at him whenever he sees him

AU where Todoroki became a paramedic instead of a hero

Sass from paramedic!Todoroki 👌

I've reread this one multiple times, love me a good fic where they become begrudging friends first

Oblivious by maisierita

“Bakugou,” Todoroki said. He swallowed. Bakugou watched his throat bob. “Just to be clear, because I know I often misread social cues. Are you propositioning me?” Bakugou stroked Todoroki’s thigh. Todoroki had been a very straightforward teenager; Bakugou didn’t know the man very well but he suspected this facet of his personality had not greatly changed. “That depends,” he said. “Would you say yes if I were?”

Bakugou and Todoroki run into each other at a wedding and hook up

characterizations are on point in this one

honesty is like a kiss on the lips (come closer and I'll tell you exactly how it is) by lelex

After the League of Villains incident, Katsuki is just trying to keep it together. Things are slipping through the cracks and he's on his hands and knees trying not to let any of his responsibilities out of his sight. Most of the time he can't bear to be touched, especially from behind or anywhere near the back of his neck. Which means his regularly scheduled haircuts are absolutely out of the question. It's fine, he's coping, he's dealing with it—his hair grows out long, longer than it's ever been, and that's fine too. Until it isn't. But Todoroki being in the right place at the wrong time in the communal boys bathroom as Katsuki is shaving his entire head in a fit of late night mania might just be the solution—one that spans years—that neither of them were looking for.

Well written and portrays the subtle signs of PTSD that can be unexpected or go overlooked (i.e. hands on the back of Bakugou's neck)

I'm a sucker for "no words need to be spoken between us because we just understand each other" type of comfort between these two characters

The Drawing Board by strangergods

He understands, intellectually, that other people must do something with their day that doesn’t involve working out or getting beat up by super-powered mutant criminals or harassing one’s boyfriend into fucking them sideways. It’s just that he can’t quite picture doing it himself. -- Todoroki takes up a hobby.

Somebody to Have, Somebody to Hold by ryanhasao3

Kaminari is very physical with his friends. He's constantly throwing himself at them, holding them with all he has and loving them and letting them love him back. Shouto can't remember the last time he was touched like that.

Todoroki and Bakugou both struggle with physical touch, as neither of them grew up with (positive) physical touch from the people who were meant to love and raise them

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead by iizukuus

“IcyHot?” “I need—need help, I can’t, can’t—” Shouto breathes, tears staining his cheeks as he stumbles over to Bakugou, his muscles are weak, heavy—they aren’t working. His legs give out and— ”Easy, easy,” Bakugou stumbles back and keeps Shouto up with his steady arms, holds on to his waist tight. “I don't know what to do,” he hiccups, pressing his face into Bakugou’s shoulder as he sobs and tugs at his shirt, “what’s happening to me?” Shouto gets hit with a quirk that prevents him from sleeping and reality as he knows it, crumbles before him.

Blood on my shirt, Heart in my hands by UmBriella

Bakugou Katsuki likes to fight. Well– he likes to win, actually. But a win is only worth a damn when you have to fight for it, and there’s only one person in this stupid class who actually can put up a fight against Katsuki. That’s why the guy makes a halfway decent sparring partner – Icyhot’s strong. Icyhot’s powerful. He makes every damn thing look effortless, but when Katsuki’s his opponent, he has to actually try for once. So then– what the hell is he supposed to do when the half and half bastard stops trying? Or: Bakugou and Todoroki have an arrangement to spar after school for stress relief. But when Todoroki starts looking and acting strangely, Bakugou starts to pay a little closer attention.

infrared lovemap by Trouble_Cleft

Shouto looks at the clock on Katsuki’s nightstand. “We were like that for seven hours. Maybe eight. And I was literally lying on top of you. We’ll probably have soulmarks for a week.” Katsuki puts his head in his hands and screams. Or: Katsuki and Shouto aren't really hiding their relationship and yet Class 1-A still receives one hell of a wakeup call.

Established relationship/relationship reveal

Burn it all down by dorothycanfly

Five years ago, fourteen year old Touya Todoroki's name was buried here. Today, Dabi has come home to make them all remember. He's gonna make them feel just what it's like to wish for death so the pain can stop. He's gonna destroy the little prodigy that took his place. He's gonna make his father say his goddamn name until he chokes on it. --- Or; Dabi breaks into the Todoroki house one night to kill his little brother. Things don't go as planned. Dabi and Shouto go on the run together, with Dabi raising his little brother to become the weapon that will destroy Endeavor. (And then the League kidnaps a UA student and a bird shows up.)

A little different than the other fics on this list, since this is primarily a Dabi & Shouto fic. However - there is tdbk and I love this fic so so so much I had to put it on here!

All characters' actions are in character

Excellent relationship development, both for tdbk and DabiHawks

Realistic possiblity of what Shouto's life could have been, had he been raised by Dabi and become a villain very young

Dabi's slow and believable redemption arc (I'm also a sucker for Dabi redemption and brother!Dabi)

This fic legitimately made my heart hurt at points and made me cry.

And finally, I second @quidfree 's rec of Once more, with feeling by curovogel :)

Happy reading!

i would love some tdbk fic recs if you’ve got ‘em ;)

anon i love/hate you because i am a terrible fic-reader in the sense that i consume fics and then host them in my mind without ever bookmarking them so i had to search the wholeass tag on ao3 to try and hunt this shit down at 2 am last night

im sure there are others but heres the sparse handful i can vouch for from memory!

but you’ve already fallen for me, by deplore

i can’t imagine anyone who reads tdbk hasn’t already read all of deplore’s works, but this one in particular has their adult dynamics down pat as well as being very sweet and contained.

palm reading, by deplore for curovogel

see above; it matches my own headcanons very precisely that tdbk would be the kind to get to like several years into cohabitation but not have gotten around to holding hands.

house rules by yuu_chi

silly and adorable and extremely in-character. i love fics that acknowledge how annoying these two are to the external eye.

a step behind, by racing shadows

a story set in the context of mourning. very true to form for both of them, and complex in a way i can see them being if they’re not any friendlier sooner.

once more with feeling by curovogel

probably my favorite fic for this pairing. heavy nsfw content, so be warned. just strikes all the right elements of their personalities and relationship whilst having an intriguing plot as a bonus. also, as may be obvious from my own works, i am very fond of time-altering hijinks. aizawa is also great in this. the details really stick to me- the price of the fish, etc.

wanna put my tender heart in a blender by lelex

very sweet and yet very grounded. bakugou in love.

there’s one other quite long one-shot tdbk fic i really liked but can’t find for the life of me set in UA where they become fwb through a series of misunderstandings (todoroki thinks he’s agreeing to a fight at first) and then todoroki keeps trying to break up with bakugou and failing for a variety of increasingly flimsy reasons until he realises he’s into him at the eleventh hour.

the complete œuvre of mysterious ao3 writer shakespeares; latest fic in theaters now

sorry this is so short- like i said, i don’t read much for the pairing, and i’m going from memory here, hah.
