NOTES:

i tagged every tumblr i could reasonably find. if you have more than one fic on this list, i have tagged you more than once. some people may be tagged like five times. i’m not sorry.

where relevant, fandoms have been split into general (platonic) centric fics, and romantic/slash fics. this is just because it’s easier than splitting it up into specific relationships.

at the end of every fic title/author line is a list of core relationships; fics are split between gen and romance depending on what relationship is considered centric. otherwise, fics are in no particular order. All fics are completed unless otherwise specified.

i added a read more because there’s over 100 fics listed here.

anyway, enjoy, thanks for the 3k followers

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.

Fill out & repost! This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

My muse is: Canon / OC / AU / Canon-divergent / Fandomless

Is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO. ( I’d say Mateus fans are a ~small~ collective )

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO.

Is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO.

Are they underrated? YES / NO. ( I’d say so, many other villains of FF get the limelight a lot, but Mateus isn’t really touched imo )

Were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO

Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO.

Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO

How’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL.

How strictly do you follow canon?

FFII as a game itself doesn’t have a lot of canon for Mateus to really go by, much less for the rest of the cast themselves, but for what is there, I follow it heavily. Game and Novel are my primary sources, DISSIDIA doesn’t really count as it’s only a campy, abridged version of all the characters ( and sometimes even makes the characters things they are not, which unfortunately the fandom follows :/ ).

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.

For an empire that was ( according to the novel at least ) mostly forgotten about to the world to spontaneously rise up and bring fourth chaos as it did to a point where the whole planet was at war with it is a impressive feat in itself. Mateus’ actions set a lot of firsts for the series from then on that would either be repeated or called back to in later games ( i.e. Mateus having poisoned the wyverns is akin to Kefka poisoning Doma Castle in VI ). Also the fact that this man literally put up fists with both God and Satan and usurped their places? Like bro, that’s metal as fuck.

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?)

*insert jokes about how he looks like Jareth the Goblin King, how hot Mateus is to a point where it makes people obliged to disclose their weird fantasies, roleplaying him as an absolute mean-girl and missing the point of his character entirely*

...No, I’m not salty, not at all. What gave you that idea? /s

What inspired you to RP your muse?

I’ve been into FF for awhile prior to joining in 2017 due to a friend, and I hadn’t even been in the RP scene since my Cringy Days on Gaia Online back in 2010. I was a total airhead who never even played II and I just liked Mateus’ design until I begun doing my own research and even diving into the game itself.

What keeps your inspiration going?

Mateus has evolved into a coping mechanism I never even knew I needed, but he’s a welcomed one. There’s not a day in hell that I don’t think about him or II itself, and the people who stay around usually encourage me to keep furthering my portrayal and whatnot. :)

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice? YES / NO.

Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO. ( I think of more HCs than RP replies lmao )

Do you sometimes write drabbles? YES / NO. ( Occansionally )

Do you think a lot about your muse during the day? YES / NO. ( head empty its Thinking of Mateus Palamecia Hours )

Are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO. ( I have what the kids call Low Self Esteem )

Are you confident in your writing? YES / NO.

Are you a sensitive person? YES / NO.

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?

I’d accept it well if it was constructive, not something like “oh u suck” or “why don’t you play your character the way I want you to play him???”.  I’m willing to improve and learn, I’ve been doing it for all this time.

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?

Maybe too much, sometimes people will hit me with things I never even thought of and that’s when my brain gets really cranking.

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?

I don’t have to like your HCs and you don’t have to like mine, that’s all I can really say to that. As interesting as the conversation might be as well, I wouldn’t want to know why, I made that mistake once with a duplicate and never again am I doing that.

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Felicia. There’s more things in this world to worry about than some scrub who hates my BPD/Traumatized portrayal of the Emperor.

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it?

Your choice to have bad taste, not mine lol.

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?

I make a LOT of errors and sometimes even use the wrong words and don’t see it until later, having ADHD/Asperger brain makes writing a chore sometimes so if you notice something, feel free to point it out.

Do you think you are easy going as a mun?

Perhaps I am, probably not “oh sweet babu uwu ur so spehscial” easy going, but I like to think I’m nice to a degree if I’m tolerable to all the people that follow me. For all the shit I’ve gone through on here, you’d think I’d be more rough around the edges, but nah. Just some things I’m very skiddish about or avoid entirely.

That’s about it, congrats for filling out!

V Watches MagiReco - Episode 8 Review

*Spoilers for Magia Record Anime Episode 8*

Okay, I was not expecting to enjoy this week’s episode as much as I did! :O From the anime’s pattern so far, I was fully expecting a slower episode with less action as they introduced the next main character (in this case Sana), but this episode had a lot of deviations from the game that did a lot of good, in my opinion!

Lots of positive things to say again for this review ^0^ And no, it’s not just because of that Kanagi “cameo” (even though there WILL be at least one paragraph of me screaming about that LOL you have been warned) xD

I think the slower pace of this episode gave us a really good chance to see how the main characters have adjusted and truly integrated themselves into their new lives. We see Iroha starting at her new school, Felicia starting her part-time job at Banbanzai, Tsuruno visiting to deliver bento boxes for Iroha and the two going to school together... so many small details that seem unimportant to the plot but really give us a good picture of the characters’ new lives and relationships. And that’s really important stuff. They seem to have taken a longer time and really drew out the introduction of this new Rumour rather than immediately rushing into the next one, and this gives the main cast some room to breathe and just be themselves, and also gives the audience a sense of some time having passed as well.

It was also really nice to see Rena back! Seems strange to me that Momoko wasn’t with her, but I was starting to worry that Momoko’s team would be forgotten and pushed to the background, so I was quite pleased to see them still popping up every now and then. The episode also gave us some quality Iroha and Rena bonding, which is kind of bittersweet when you consider that both of them either don’t have friends or always find themselves somehow isolated from the crowd. Rena is still a prickly little tsundere, but seeing her waiting for Iroha and giving her more information and talking with her really put a smile on my face :) I really want Rena and Iroha to be able to make more friends, and it’s super cute when the new friends are none other than each other ^^

Also, the thing about Kaede is really interesting. I’m sure this is an anime-original plot point, but I’m wondering how this is going to tie in with Sana’s arc, or any other part of the Main Story. Rena confirms that Kaede hasn’t actually disappeared; she still comes to school, but rushes home immediately after and doesn’t talk or reply to anyone. We also see her at home with all her plants at the beginning (cute!). I’m guessing she’s still traumatised from that Doppel experience and hasn’t figured out what’s going on, so is too afraid of getting close to her friends in fear of hurting them? Whatever they’re planning, I hope it has some relevance to that post-credits scene in episode 5 so we get some closure to what actually happened and the scene won’t seem so “cool but random” lmao.

Alright imma get this out of the way. (Feel free to skip this paragraph if you’re not interested in hearing me gush about my queen.) K A N A G I I Z U M I. If anyone reading this has been following my past MagiReco posts or knows anything about me at all, you’ll know that I’m absolute trash for Kanagi Izumi xD My best girl may be Iroha, but Kanagi is a character I really admire, respect, and adore. Anyway, I saw the official MagiReco Twitter account post about a Kanagi rate-up banner and was hella confused but excited because my queen was not supposed to appear until... at least until Tsuruno is captured by the Magius and Felicia and Sana have returned. So I guess it makes sense that it was in the form of a “mysterious person on the phone” rather than an actual debut, but gosh as soon as I heard her voice I almost lost it AHHHHHHHHHH （♥>ｏ<♥） This eases any fears I had of her being cut from the anime (I would have hunted down the studio if they made that decision LOL); not only is she not gonna be cut, but they gave her a surprise, mysterious, early introduction, too?!?!? YASSSSS (ᗒᗨᗕ)

Yachiyo’s phonecall with Kanagi is a surprising change to make because Kanagi’s presence is really “not very relevant” at this point, but I guess they really wanted to show how big the Wings of Magius' influence is. As Kanagi says, they’ve taken most of the girls from the East by now. I’m wondering what anime-onlys would feel about this scene, since they probably have no idea who Yachiyo is talking to. If anything, it would probably add to the mystery surrounding Yachiyo (which I hope the anime goes into soon). I was a little conflicted at first because I really wanted Yachiyo’s first contact with Kanagi to seem like a “we haven’t spoken in ages but desperate times call for desperate measures” kind of thing, because with this scene, the next time they "openly” contact her won’t have that same impact. But then the more I think about it, the more I think this might actually be for the better. Kanagi’s introduction into the cast won’t feel like such a “random” thing (like, “oh wait, who are you and since when were you so important?”); Yachiyo has been in some degree of contact with her and she was “there" all along. So yeah, a good change in retrospect, and I’m never gonna say no to seeing (or hearing) more of Kanagi so I’m all for this change either way LOL

Okay enough rambling about Kanagi (OTL I’m so sorry). Felicia working at Banbanzai is just SO CUTE!!! She’s like a cute little gangster omg those glares and “HUHHH?!?!?” (I’d be scared too, Iroha) xD I think the character that’s gotten the best portrayal in the anime so far really is Felicia. And also the reveal that the reason for her getting into a fight and being sent to the police station was because she was defending Yachiyo and Iroha? CUTEEE OMG I LOVE THIS CHILD!!! She also has a really good sense of fashion hehe :D

The little snippet in there with Ui, Touka, and Nemu may seem a little out of place, but I was actually quite relieved to see them. Every week the anime is throwing new characters at its viewers, so I was worried that anime-only viewers wouldn’t even remember who Touka and Nemu are when they’re eventually revealed to be the Magius. I think it’s good to keep drilling them into viewers’ minds so as not to lose that “OMGGG” factor when they make their proper debut. Also it’s adorable how Ui throws teddy bears in their faces to stop them from arguing LOLLL

The radio show was a really good way to not only sneak in tiny “cameos” of other girls (I think it was Rika and Kanoko this week), but also give a nice picture of life in Kamihama. There’s a sense that Iroha really is a part of this city now, and it’s such a nice feeling to see everything “falling into place;” we’re no longer in those inconsistent and uncertain “introductory” episodes anymore, even though we still have one more major character to bring in. And the laughter coming from the phone is super creepy--cute, but in a really creepy way. All the illustrations for when they were talking about the Rumours this week were also really, really well-done. I have nothing much to say about them except “sasuga Inucurry” haha xD

I really was expecting Madoka and Homura to appear this week, but I guess we may have to wait a little bit more for that >_< BUT Tsukuyo did appear again in her “civilian” form! Iroha chasing her into that building was also a really nice change the anime made; some things really need to be animated for full impact, and I’m loving these minor changes and how much more they add to the characters and atmosphere! Anyway, Tsukuyo seems a lot more menacing here compared to her dine-and-dash incident in the game lmaooo, and I wasn’t expecting a Witch battle!

Speaking of Witch battle, I think this might be one of my main letdowns with this episode: I just really want to see Iroha fight more. I appreciate that she’s proactive in seeking answers and brave enough to jump into these situations despite knowing that she’s weak, but she hasn’t really contributed much in battles so far except a few Connects and using her Doppel. I want to see my girl Iroha go all-out and kick ass with her arrows!!! But it was nice to see the rest of Team Mikazuki showing up so quickly; there’s a real sense of them being an actual team now, and they’ve always got each other’s backs! It would have been nice if the rest of the team got to fight as well rather than Yachiyo taking all the spotlight, but at least Yachiyo was super cool haha (as usual). But the battle clearly isn’t the point of this episode, so I won’t pick on it too much :)

By the way, that Mami appearance was super random. When I saw the ribbons and flowers, I almost thought she was going to appear as Holy Mami for a second. At least we know she hasn’t lost her head just yet ;) The appearance was random, but from what they offered, at least we know that Mami is still either in Kamihama or coming to Kamihama regularly to investigate, and while she was suspicious of Iroha in the past, she went out of her way to help her this time, which was a nice touch.

Anyway, now that Iroha has finally replied to the mysterious messages, we might really get to meet Sana (and Ai-chan) next time! Maybe Madoka and Homura, too! But yeah, this episode is a prime example of one where not much seems to happen, but a lot actually does happen and there’s plenty to pull apart and discuss when you really think back on it. Clearly Kanagi took half my attention and feels this week, but I’m definitely having lots of warm and fuzzies seeing Team Mikazuki doing normal, everyday things together. Seeing Felicia added to the OP was expected but still a treat (the way she bobs around on the spot is SO CUTE!), and I can’t wait for the family to finally be fully formed!

(Also, Yachiyo looks gorgeous in anything she wears, seriously.)

[hellzyeahthewebwieldingavenger]

I honestly would love to see Black Cat and MJ just hang out more. Because of the love triangle I’ve always heard about how much they ‘must’ hate each other, but honestly I could picture Pete waking up one day, finding MJ and Felicia in the living room having coffee and asking what she’s doing here and MJ just says, “Dude we meet up like twice a week to hang. We’re going bowling tonight.” or something.

They’re relationship is actually more complicated than simply being catty rivals or some such. 

The harsh truth is, for better or worse, writers pitted the pair against one another lightly in the 1980s, famously the first instance of this was in the iconic ASM #258, the issue both immediately after MJ reveals she knows who Peter is and where Peter learns the truth about the black costume.

Initially the animosity was more on Felicia’s end than MJ’s, whether she meant it or not, she briefly felt Peter was better suited to Black Cat.

MJ became Peter’s confidant not too long before he and Felicia broke up and when she was later reintroduced into the titles MJ became more clearly down on her. This is epitomized in Spec #119 (a great Felicia story).

That issue also  ends though with MJ admitting she has complicated conflicting feelings towards Felicia, the complications of which are wrapped up in her complicated feelings for Peter. In the story Felicia single handily takes down Sabertooth.* In a sense she defended civilians and Peter in doing so and thus MJ is caught between admiration and jealousy.

Their romantic rivalry becomes more out and out mean in Spec #123 and ASM #288 which follows up on that subplot. In the issues MJ resolves to set her and Peter’s ‘will they won’t they’ thing straight only find Felicia in Peter’s apartment (he saved her earlier that day and she needed somewhere to regroup). At the end of that adventure though Felicia basically forcibly stayed in Peter’s apartment so MJ was none too pleased to find her there when she showed up to make Peter breakfast in bed.**

The pair remained in disdain of one another after this but also didn’t interact face to face again until after Pete and MJ got married and more specifically after Peter lost his cosmic powers defeating Tri-Sentinel. Felicia had learned Peter had gotten married and as revenge began dating Flash with the intention of breaking his heart to hurt Peter by proxy. She also delighted in makig him and MJ uncomfortable though.

When MJ and Felicia interacted one-on-one Felicia was shockingly straight up assaulting MJ!

At this point MJ obviously didn’t like Felicia but she was not giving as good as she got. Things began to shift not too long after in a storyline that saw Peter give up his powers and Felicia begin to develop genuine feelings for Flash. During this storyline Felicia stepped up and began acting as the muscle for the powerless Peter. MJ still didn’t like Peter was starting to reluctantly recognize her as more of an ally than an enemy. In particular the story ended with Felicia powerless and deciding to temporarily retire and date Flash sincerely.

Whilst they weren’t exactly friends it did get to a point where MJ was okay with going on double dates with Flash and Felicia, considering the latter was no longer out to get her/hurt Flash/steal Peter away.

However a significant turning point occurred in Web of Spider-Man #80. The story short is that Peter/Spidey is missing after he and Mj got attacked. MJ turns to Felicia for help, citing the fact she still cares for Peter and that’s common ground for them to work with for the moment. She gives her a tracking device Peter made to zero in on him. She even admits she’s out of her league on this front and it’s up to Felicia. Felicia of course helps save Spidey and whilst initially claims her locating him was due to their ‘connection’ (meaning their romantic history) she admits MJhelped witht he tracking device. The issue ends though with Felicia admitting that MJ’s device actually didn’t work, meaning Felicia simply let the Parker couple think it did out of kindness to MJ. This didn’t turn the pair into friends, but it showed they were clearly mellowing towards one another.

This didn’t make them chummy as catty remarks still occurred during later interactions (noticably from MJ). I’m skipping over stuff to get to some highlights, the next of which is a big one. 

In Felicia’s first ever solo mini-seires MJ not only appears int he first issue but they are actually hanging out...together...as friends!

Or at least as frenemies. It’s clear there is still some underlying jealousy or jousting to be had, but they’re very open about it and Felicia is actively confiding in MJ, even talking about how she feels regarding Peter. And not just Peter in general, his then current state of being. This was back when Peter was unravelling due to the aftermath of the Robot Parents crap and becoming more anti-social and obsessive about his Spider-Man life, spending less time out of the costume. It got Felicia and MJ concerned. A very significant line of dialogue in this scene is MJ saying she’ll call Felicia later. It implies that they have hung out together before or are at least okay with doing do again in the near future. 

Also this was at Felicia’s home, so for MJ to have voluntarily gone to the home of the woman who once assaulted her says a lot about how things have changed.

Again skipping over some stuff but the next big moment for MJ and Felicia came in Web of Spider-Man #125 where MJ once again calls upon Felicia’s aid to find Peter (though he’s not in trouble, she just needs him present). The circumstances are decidedly different from Web #80. There is no jousting going on. Partially this is due to their relationship having grown deeper but it’s also due to MJ being pregnant and amidst the chaos of the time (Peter was on trial for murder, Aunt May had just died and MJ had been recently abducted by Kaine) she was clearly feeling very vulnerable. 

Vulnerable enough in fact that Felicia can clearly tell MJ is upset and outright hugs her, offering some support and comfort. 

This time Felicia isn’t seeking out Peter less because she cares for him and more because she wants to help MJ and the baby. If ever there was a moment clearly demarking the pair had fully transitioned into real friendship, this was it. 

Whilst MJ and Felicia don’t directly interact in Web #128 Peter makes a reference to MJ and Felicia talking on the phone for hours.

Skipping waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead now. The tl:dr is that Felicia clearly began to develop some feelings for Peter again during Howard Mackie’s run. This became more significantly a factor in the Evil that Men Do Limited Series where Felicia is putting the movies on Peter and also refers to MJ derogatorily. 

Something to note about Evil that Men do is that it gets a lot of details wrong and it’s continuity is wonky. the first half came out when Peter and MJ were seperated, but the second half came out years later and used then contemporary continuity from when Peter and MJ would’ve been back together. The important thing to note is Felicia went back to having the hots for Spider-Man and also being down on MJ

To my recollection the next time I recall MJ and Felicia having a significant interaction was in Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #5. In the issue Felicia has rescued Peter from the Vulture and is helping him investigate Aunt may’s recent kidnapping. Peter was badly beat up so Felicia and Mj were nursing him back to health. The scene where Peter wakes up clearly conveys that there is some tension and competitivness going on between MJ and Felicia even though they are talking in a friendly manner to one another. When Felicia leaves MJ looked really bummed out, which might’e been due to some insecurities regarding Felicia or because of their financial troubles at the time (she was keeping them from Peter).

Later on in Marvel Knights #10, when Peter has resolved to break Norman Osborn out of jail in order to save Aunt May, Felicia going along with him for this, MJ blows up at Felicia and basically tells her to back off from Peter.

In defence of MJ here, Norman Osborn has pushed them to the edge big time so I think she’s having a major wobble regarding Black Cat.

Anyway, she’s not wrong about Felicia as the remaining issues of the arc make it clear that Felicia is absolutely in love with Peter again if Evil that Men Do didn’t make that clear enough.

Next up in Spider-Man: Breakout #2, MJ is similarly pissed off about Peter contacting Felicia for help tracking down the U-Foes.

Frankly...I find this instance rather out of character but I thought I might as well mention it.

Then we have Spider-Man Unlimited volume 3 #14. In this issue, as payback for helping him bust out Norman Osborn, Felicia demands Spider-Man help her steal something from Doctor Doom. Peter isn’t happy about this until it turns out that the item in question was a spider tracer with his finger prints on it, meaning Felicia was trying to once again protect Peter. MJ wasn’t happy to find out Peter was hanging out with Felicia but acknwoeldged she helped protect them.

The next notable interaction was during Civil War when Peter was unmasked, the Parkers were fugitives and Peter was half dead from a beating via the Rhino. Felicia upon learning of this sought out the Parkers and volunteered to even the score with Rhino. When all is said and done, MJ asks Felicia if she wants to give Peter a message from her.

We then transition into shitty post-OMD continuity and frankly I’m not touching 90% of that sans one notable story (Web of Spider-Man volume 2 #11-12) in which Felicia, who has totally forgotten who MJ and Peter Parker are, nevertheless befriends MJ after an adventure to save Peter.

I bring up this story simply because your original question was regarding MJ and Felicia friendship.

This story’s canonicity can be debated for a few reasons, it doesn’t make sense in general because the mindwipe was asinine shit and it has 0 follow up. In fact it doesn’t even really jive with later appearances of MJ or Felicia. It is amusing though that it completes a sort of trilogy wherein MJ and Felicia become more friendly in Web of Spider-Man.

Anyway, that brings you pretty much up to date.

Essentially there are two distinct eras for MJ and Felicia’s relationship. The 1980s-1990s where they have a clear arc transitioning from acquaintances who’re not that fond of one another to rivals to frenemies to outright friends. 

Then you have the 2000s and beyond which pits the two against one another again but in a very different dynamic to before as MJ is Peter’s wife and recognizes Felicia’s as an ally.

It’s not impossible to reconcile the two narratively but I’m not going to do that here. 

I think the second era might’ve been done in order to inject more tension into the Spider Marriage and in fairness, it did work. It was dramatic.

But I personally prefer the second era much more as it portrays a clear character arc. As a bonus I should mention that, since it diverged from Spider-Man continuity in the late 1990s, in Spider-Girl MJ and Felicia’s relationship continued to develop in a friendly manner to the point where Felicia would pay Mj a visit in her office and the pair would chat about their daughters and their mutual problems. In MJ’s case a difficult pregnancy and in Felicia’s her rebellious daughter who wasn’t fond of her same sex partner.

To bring this right around to your OP, the scenes of friendship have more or less happened in canon and in stories that are pseudo canon. 

*Bear in mind this was the same decade where Sabertooth participated in the infamous Mutant Massacre storyline where he and his peers mass slaughtered a bunch of defenceless mutants. Readers knew he was no pushover.  

**Because you see according to Joe Quesada, Steve Wacker, Dan Slott et al Mary Jane was clearly not dating Peter at this time and I think we’ve all brought groceries to our ex’s apartment (that we own a key to) in order to make them breakfast in bed. It’s the single most platonic gesture possible.

Maid’s Honor

Ao3. Ver. in the reblogs cause tumblr is broken

Xander/Takumi - N/SFW; Crossdressing

Word Count: 3025

Summary: Takumi supposed that this outfit held some perks in the end.

A/N: Listen it's not an update to my multichap but it's still Xankumi so that's all that matters.

It's been over a year since I last wrote pwp, so thank u to my friends' collective horny energy to spur me to write some.

Takumi fiddled with the edges of his uniform, not entirely impressed with the maid outfit. He shot Felicia an exasperated look as she giggled to herself.

“Seriously?” Takumi asked, crossing his arms. “Look, I said I was sorry about earlier. I even conceded to letting you show me ‘real maid work' to make a point. ...Is the getup necessary though?”

“You bet!” Felicia chimed. “You can't understand if you don't first start with the clothes." Takumi sighed. “Uh huh, sure. Whatever, what is it you want me to do?” “Well, it's the afternoon so right now I'd be serving tea to the nobles-” “If you think I'm going anywhere near Leo in this outfit, Felicia...” Takumi warned. Felicia huffed, pouting at him. “Okay. You have to take some of the trays though!” “Ugh, alright. I'll at least take Xander's,” Takumi said, picking up one of the tea trays. “I know he won't embarrass me over this for weeks to come.” Felicia tried to stifle another giggle. "I hope you don't run into anyone on the way there!" As much as Takumi would have loved to worry about being seen he had bigger issues to face. Notably, the fact that he had to somehow get to Xander's study without tripping and dropping the tray. These heels were terrible. One mistake and he would be helpless to stop the glass from shattering to the floor. He was starting to wonder if he could truly blame Felicia for her clumsiness like this… Takumi sighed, in both relief and mild apprehension, as he reached the study door. He gave a few raps to the wood before calling through it. “Got a moment?” “Come in.” Xander was writing something down as Takumi opened the door, but he only looked up when he heard the click of his heels. “...Do you have something to share?” “Besides tea? No,” Takumi said, shoving the door closed and setting the tray down on a nearby side table with a huff. “This is penance for spurring Felicia's bad side apparently.” “I… see,” Xander said, glancing him over. “It looks…” “Ridiculous?” Takumi flashed him a light smile. “Hey, it was either I show you or one of your siblings this outfit, and I'd rather my boyfriend see it.” “Ah, that's… understandable.” Xander dropped his eyes back down to the papers in front of him. “It doesn't look that terrible on you though, to speak plainly.” Takumi rolled his eyes as he prepped to pour the tea. “I'm flattered. Maybe I'll drop my royal title and become a full time professional. Two sugars, right?” Silence. Takumi paused to turn around, narrowly catching Xander's eye before it diverted back to his desk. Uh huh. Staring. “Two sugars, Xander?” Takumi asked again. “Ah... Yes, thank you.” Xander refused to meet his eye. Takumi had viewed the earlier compliment as a facetious gesture, but perhaps he had judged too soon. A bit of mischief colored his smile. He could play with this. Takumi walked over - grateful that his shaky steps made his heels clack as if on purpose - and set Xander's cup and saucer down next to his paperwork. Takumi sat on the edge of his desk, balancing his weight off his shoes. “Is there anything else I can get for you, milord?” Takumi aimed for something enticing but wasn't quite sure if his voice hit the mark. Xander didn't respond, but Takumi could see his lips twitching as if biting back a laugh. Takumi rolled his eyes and gave a soft shove to his arm. “Oh shut it. Can you at least look at me?” Xander complied with meeting his eyes for a few seconds, before dropping down to look over the rest of him. “I don't mean to… keep you from your ‘duties’. I'm sure Felicia wants to keep you quite busy.” "Uh huh, I bet." Takumi grinned, leaning in towards him. “Pretty sure my duty is serving you though, isn't it? I doubt this would be considered shirking off work.” “And if Felicia comes looking for her maid in training?” “Are you saying I should lock the door?” Xander paused before giving a quiet huff. “You really shouldn't be keeping me from my duties.” “Being what? This?” Takumi lifted up the small stack of papers before tossing them to the floor. “They can wait.” They would also be a nuisance to pick up afterwards, but Takumi had a point to make. He kicked off his heels before pushing at the edge of Xander's chair, signaling to him to scoot back and give Takumi room to slide into his lap. “So,” Takumi started, adjusting his weight. “What is it?” One of Xander's hands moved to brush against the edge of Takumi's outfit. “What's what?” Takumi leaned forward, brushing his lips against Xander's. A ghost of a kiss. “Don't play coy. Want to explain what's keeping your eye on this getup?” “Perhaps the fact it's a new look on you?” Xander's hand was slipping under his dress, warm and solid against Takumi's thigh. Takumi moved a palm of his own to trail over Xander's chest, but pulled away once he tried to drag Takumi into a proper kiss. He clicked his tongue in disapproval. “I'm not going to let you get away with staying quiet.” Xander held his eye for a long moment. “...The thigh highs are quite soft.” It would do for now. Takumi grinned before leaning back in for his reward. He adjusted in Xander's lap until he was straddling him proper, raising his hands to run through curls. The hand on Takumi's thigh trailed even higher and he let out a quiet, breathy noise into the kiss. “Eager, are we?” Xander mumbled between breaths. Takumi shot him a hard look before grinding down, biting his lip to make Xander's stutter in his breathing even more apparent. “Shouldn't talk about yourself,” Takumi muttered. Xander gave a quiet laugh at that before capturing him in a kiss once more, using his free hand to cup Takumi's cheek. His skin almost burned with heat wherever it was touched. Takumi grinded his hips down again, finding he was already getting half-hard but was in good company. Xander's hand on his thigh tightened, nails scratching against the fabric of his stockings. Takumi had almost forgotten about his current state of dress like this. “I'm starting to regret not wearing the panty option that came with this instead of the briefs,” he joked. Xander didn't reply but Takumi could feel an undeniable twitch of his hips underneath him. He would have to abuse all this new information he was gathering later. Adjusting his position in Xander's lap, Takumi moved a hand to toy with the waistband of Xander's pants. His breathing was even but Takumi could feel Xander press into whatever phantom touch he cared to provide. Takumi leaned in to press a kiss against his pulse, letting his teeth graze the skin. “So, is it just the clothes?” Takumi asked against Xander's neck. “Do you get off to me simply dressed like this? Or does the implied station get to you too?” Xander moved both his hands to grip at Takumi's hips, pulling him close to grind up hard against him. Takumi dug his nails into the fabric of Xander's shirt as he muffled a moan into his skin. As badly as he wanted to continue he forced himself to pull away. Questions deserved answers, after all. “Well?” Takumi asked. The friction of his briefs against his dick was starting to become a torturous tease. Xander paused, hesitating before meeting his eyes. “This whole outfit on you is… endearing.” Takumi bit the inside of his cheek to refrain from laughing at such a gentle description. “However, I can think of a few alterations to it.” Takumi hummed as if in thought, wrapping his arms around Xander's neck. “I probably have to give this back you know.” “They don't have to be permanent.” Takumi gave a brisk laugh at that before pulling him in for a kiss, rewarding the honesty by undoing the top button to Xander's pants. His breathing started to fail in it's rhythm against Takumi's lips as he slipped a hand in his pants. Xander pressed his hips into Takumi's palm as he teased him through the fabric of his briefs. He only let Xander enjoy the sensation for a moment before pulling away, tugging at the waistband of his pants. Xander got the hint, lifting his hips up enough for Takumi to get some leeway and pull his clothes farther down. It was still a bit restrictive to Xander’s movement but Takumi had plenty of room for his own goals. He let his nails graze against Xander’s skin as he trailed his hand over the waistband of his briefs. “Planning on acting like this the whole time?” Xander asked. Takumi relished in the tight edge to his tone. “Want something from me, milord?” Takumi teased. “I think there’s some moral conduct issues here if I was to ask,” Xander said. Takumi rolled his eyes and moved to nip at his neck, slipping past the barrier of his briefs to grab a hold of his dick. Xander’s hands pushed the skirt of his outfit up to rest on top of his thighs. They teased just below where Takumi wanted them - a quiet but clear challenge. He bit his cheek but forced himself to focus on his own actions - now wasn't the time to turn the lead over. Adjusting to pull Xander’s cock free from the confines of his briefs, Takumi turned his head to look over the drawers in his desk. One, two, three… Takumi leaned back as far as he could without losing balance, reaching to tug open a bottom drawer. Tucked away in the back was a small bottle left specifically for situations like these. “And you said,” Takumi started as he nabbed the vial and straightened back up. “that keeping these around was a terrible idea.” “I didn’t foresee it-” Xander’s eyes watched as Takumi popped open the cork, letting the lube drizzle out onto his hand. “-becoming an actual need.” “You can thank me later then,” Takumi said, letting his now slicked hand give a tentative stroke. A muffled groan came from Xander’s throat. “Seems you’re a bit busy right now.” The exasperated look Xander gave him was short lived as Takumi started to jerk him off in earnest. He propped himself up on top of Xander’s thighs, helping keep him from thrusting up into his touch. Xander dragged his nails down Takumi’s legs in response as he choked down strained noises. Running his thumb over the head of his dick with every upstroke, Takumi pulled him in for a kiss to cover up the whine building in his own throat. It was a pleasure in and of its own for Takumi to feel Xander’s muscles flex underneath him. To strain for him but do nothing about it. Concession was quite the thing. “Eager, are you?” Takumi echoed, slowing his hand down and watching Xander clench his jaw in return. “I wonder who could be faulted for that,” Xander mumbled, tilting his head back a bit. “I wasn’t the one who started this by not being able to keep his eyes to himself.” Xander moved a hand up to untie Takumi's ponytail, letting his hair fall down before threading his fingers throughout. The sensation was pleasant before slowing down and turning into a hold. Leverage. Takumi smirked and let his own movements turn more leisurely, leaving just a complete tease of friction. The hold on his hair tightened. “Yes, but you certainly pushed the issue," Xander muttered. Takumi laughed before resuming his original pace. Xander sucked in a hard breath before tugging Takumi’s head back by his hair, leaning in to bite at the little amount of skin not covered by his high rise collar. A choked noise built in the back of Takumi’s throat, unable to help moving his free hand to palm himself through the fabric of his dress. Xander’s breath was ragged against Takumi’s skin as he trailed kisses across his throat. Takumi toyed with the head of his cock, dragging his thumb over the top to press right underneath before going back over. Precum mixed with lube as Takumi kept pushing him further. Xander's thighs twitched underneath him, jagged noises escaping as he kept his face buried in Takumi’s neck. “Better watch yourself,” Takumi breathed, voice a bit weak as he rocked into his own hand. “Don’t want to ruin my uniform like this, do you?” Takumi’s breath caught in his throat as Xander bit down hard on his neck, letting out a rough moan at the thought of the colorful marks that were going to be left behind. A low-pitched noise followed with every breath Xander took, more than encouraging Takumi to keep up a steady pace. He didn’t actually mind if his thigh highs got a bit messy. The hand in Takumi’s hair tightened as Xander came, the feeling of cum over his fingers registering only second to the gasps against his neck. Takumi allowed a few heartbeats to pass before disentangling himself with Xander. He glanced over his handiwork as he cleaned his hand off on his stockings. They were, unfortunately, stained anyway. Xander’s face was flushed and they would have to do some stealth cleaning of these clothes, but Takumi felt like he did his job well. He pressed a quick kiss to Xander’s cheek. “A pleasure serving you.” Xander gave a weak laugh as he fixed his clothes, trying to get them somewhat presentable as he buttoned them. The rumples left behind could be fixed later. “Is it time for your paycheck then?” “Well, that depends on what my salary is--!” Takumi cut himself off as Xander lifted him up, moving to set him on top of his desk. “Okay - this is a good start.” Takumi could feel Xander’s smile as he kissed him. He wasted no time in flipping up the skirt of Takumi’s uniform, kneeling down between his thighs. Takumi carded a hand through Xander’s curls but made no move to drag him forward. Xander trailed kisses up his bare skin of his thigh until his hot breath was ghosting over Takumi’s dick through his briefs. It was an electric form of torture and every second felt longer than the last. In hindsight, it was fair payback, but Takumi itched to tug at his hair in retaliation anyway. When Xander finally put his mouth on him, even through the layer of fabric in between them, it was enough to make Takumi arch his hips towards his mouth. Soon though the light friction turned on him and Takumi fell back to the same frustration. “It’s not--” Takumi bit his lip as Xander pressed the flat of his tongue against his briefs. So tantalizingly close to where he actually wanted it. “It’s not fair to toy with me as payment.” “Consider it disciplinary measures then,” Xander mumbled but conceded in finally pulling down his briefs. Takumi forced his hips to be still, leaning back on his hands as Xander trailed his tongue up the underside of his dick. His nails scratched against the wood of the desk as Xander slowly, teasingly took the head into his mouth. After so long without any real stimulation Takumi was finding it difficult to stay focused. “Hah… talk about uh, a role-reversal,” Takumi said, mind already starting to fog over as Xander took more of him into his mouth. Xander gave a simple hum in response and Takumi couldn’t help the twitch of his hips. His whole body was being strung higher and higher. Xander flashed him a look but beyond that made no move to pin his hips down, instead starting a slow but steady bob of his head. Takumi ran a hand through Xander’s hair in an attempt to stay grounded, but it twisted him up even more. Xander took him down to the hilt and Takumi’s voice broke as he moaned. Adjusting to move both hands into his hair, Takumi tugged hard at the curls as Xander sped up his pace. Xander dragged his nails down his thighs, leaving little pink lines in their wake, and Takumi let out a choked whine. There was no way he was going to last like this - he was too tense, too high strung. He could feel his muscles tighten and heat in his stomach grow as his orgasm built. “I’m- gonna, let me--” Takumi choked out, trying to string together coherency. “Pull off otherwise I’m going to--” His voice trailed off as Xander gave a small, confirmative noise from around his cock. A green light. Takumi managed to enjoy the pleasure for two, three more moments before he came, hips pushing up into Xander’s mouth as he bit his cheek to stifle his moan. He laid back as he caught his breath, idly aware of Xander pulling off and pressing gentle kisses to his thigh. “That was… sufficient payment,” Takumi said, clearing his throat. Xander just replied with a light chuckle.

After a few more seconds Takumi propped himself back up, looking at Xander with a small smile. “So, should I be expecting to be summoned to your private quarters later?”

“Won't Felicia be hunting for you soon?”

Takumi sighed, reluctantly tugging his briefs back up. “Okay, yeah, by now she probably is. Oh shoot - your tea is cold by now too.”

“Mm, perhaps being a maid isn’t your true calling after all,” Xander said.

“Oh I think we already figured that one out,” Takumi huffed. He pushed off of the desk and back onto the floor, eyeing the discarded heels. “At least Felicia should hopefully focus on the failed tea task more than why I took so long.”

Xander tilted his head up to give him a light kiss. “I do wonder how you managed to gain her ire to this... extreme.”

Takumi gave a quiet laugh as he slipped his shoes back on. Somehow, he felt even more out of balance in them now. “Does it really matter?”

[ladylilithprime]

All numbers divisible by 3, 5, or 7?

Ugh, math at three in the morning? XP

3: What season finale was your favorite/least favorite?

Hm. I really can’t pick a favorite, simply because every season finale is either bittersweet or very obviously leading Somewhere Bad. For the complexity, I’d have to say Swan Song is the leader, just barely edging out “Do You Believe In Miracles”. Least favorite is definitely season twelve, if only because it felt so sloppy and kind of rushed.

5: Which episode makes you cry the most?

I actually can’t answer that as I still haven’t seen all of the episodes, and my reasons for crying vary between gutpunch and rage, so… I dunno. We’ll see.

6: Which episode was the funniest to you?

Hands down, 6.9, “Clap Your Hands If You Believe”! XD

7: What’s your opinion on Megstiel?

Probably my favorite canon pairing for Castiel, and I’m sorry we didn’t get to see that explored more in the show.

9: Which episode title do you think is the funniest?

Tough choice there! I think I’m going to go with “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Dean Winchester”. Sorry, Dean-o, Margaret you are not.

10: What’s your opinion on Garth?

Answered that one!

12: Who is your favorite angel?

Castiel, though Gabriel is a close second!

14: What’s your opinion on Wincest?

You do know they’re brothers, right? ^_~ In all honesty, I can see it about as well as any ship for either brother, but I have to be in a certain mood for it and it needs to be handled with the utmost consent on both sides.

15: What’s your opinion on Lisa? (And Ben, if you want)

Lisa could have been great, both as a character and for Dean. I think the biggest problem was that she and Dean alway seemed to come together when they both needed different things from each other, and when Dean tried to be what Lisa was looking for it kept rubbing up against the fact that what he needed most wasn’t her. Both she and Ben were badly harmed, not by Dean being in their lives, but by his inability to be wholly in their lives because part of him was still on the road and in the Hunt, and by his repeating Mary’s mistake of “living normal” meaning no protections against the baddies he knew damn well were out there and would happily come a’calling for their pound of Winchester flesh, which he also knew could happen considering Adam Milligan lost his life to ghouls who wanted revenge on John Winchester for his killing their parent. Erasing her memory was a dick move and will in no way protect her from anything because sometimes it doesn’t matter what a person knows or feels for someone else, but what the bad guys think they know or feel– or know the first person feels for them. Overall, two great characters who were poorly handled by “plot”.

18: Do you have a favorite Dick (Roman) joke?

Probably a line from @rodiniaorzetalthepenquin ‘s fic Out Of Purgatory, “After you and Cas disappeared in a shower of exploding Dick….” (Go read it, it’s great!) Although Sam’s line about Dean using his computer for “More anime, or are you strictly into Dick now?” is priceless canon material. XD

20: Who do you ship Sam with?

Consent! (Also Castiel, Dean, Gabriel, Michael, Chuck, Anna, Max Banes…. XD Yeah, I think it would be easier to list who all I don’t ship Sam with. ^_^U)

21: What’s your opinion on Destiel?

Thanks, I hate it. No, really, you want to hear an unpopular opinion? Destiel in canon makes as much sense as the Joker and Harley Quinn, and is just as abusive and unhealthy. Harley should go be with Poison Ivy and Castiel should go be with Sam and leave the Joker to laugh at his own bad jokes somewhere he can’t hurt them anymore. Could it work? Maybe if Dean got a shitton of real, actual therapy and pulled his head out of his ass, or in an AU scenario, but as far as canon goes? Their friendship is already unhealthy enough and you want to add sex into it? (And let’s face it, most Destiel shippers do.) Thank you, please exit to the left, goodbye! (It takes a really careful handling and really fucking great writing to get me to read it, and you had better be bribing me with something amazing if you want me to write it.)

24: Do you read smutty fanfiction?

Not as much as I might if there were more of the pairings I want to read. As it is, the fics for my preferred pairings usually lend themselves more to plot than porn, with some notable exceptions.

25: Do you think Destiel will become canon in season 9? (Regardless of whether you want it to or not)

I really don’t. Oh, they’ll throw in some teasing here and there, but it would take the series ending for good before Dean, Castiel, OR Sam gets a canon relationship they can keep.

27: Which episode is the scariest to you? (Horror-movie type scary)

“The Benders”. As Dean put it, “Monsters I get. People are crazy.”

28: What’s your opinion on Sabriel?

I like it a whole lot better than Destiel, which really makes it frustrating considering how many times that pairing is used to “pair the spares” and give Destiel writers a couple of shipping cheerleaders. That said, there are Issues with the pairing itself that stem from canon, “Mystery Spot” in particular. Healthy communication and closure, or even just serious canon divergence is necessary for this ship to sail strong, but it can be done and done well! The frustration is still just as strong whenever it’s handled poorly or Sam’s very real and valid trauma is brushed aside or ignored. They both deserve better than haphazard narrative.

30: Do you have any friends off of the internet that watch Supernatural?

Sure do! At least three that I know of, including @jupiterjames , and probably a few more who don’t talk to me about it because they know why I didn’t go near Supernatural for years.

33: Do you like AU fanfics?

Sure! I usually have to be in a certain mood for them, and there are some AU scenarios I just can’t get on board with, but that’s a matter of personal preference just like any other aspect of fanfic.

35: What’s your opinion of Samifer?

Creepy and terrifying and an absolutely brilliant job of acting by Jared, both in “The End” and in “Swan Song”. (I would not ship them in a box, I would not ship them wearing socks, I would not ship them here or there– I WOULD NOT SHIP THEM ANYWHERE!!)

36: If you have an OTP, at what point did you start shipping it?

From the first moment I realized that it was possible to ship them, I have shipped Sastiel.

39: Which actor would you most like to meet in real life?

I’m told that Jared’s hugs are not to be passed up if given the opportunity, but in all honesty I want to meet Felicia Day.

40: If you could be any character on the show, would you want to? If so, whom? If not, why?

Answered that one!

42: What is your opinion on Sastiel?

You found my OTP! (Hey, you know me!)

45: What’s your favorite moment from any of the gag reels?

Answered that one!

48: What’s an unpopular ship you have?

If by unpopular you mean I ship I have that just really doesn’t have a lot of content, probably Samichael or Sam/Chuck.

49: What’s your opinion on Wincestiel?

Dean needs so much therapy…. ~is jabbed in the ribs~ Uh, I mean, yes! I ship that! It’s actually tied with Casabriel for my OT3.

50: Can you dig Elvis?

Leave the poor man to his rest, huh?

51: Do you listen to Carry On Wayward Son even when you’re not just watching a finale?

Sure, it comes on the radio plenty of times.

54: Do you think Sam should have completed the Trials?

Honestly, that’s a difficult one to answer. On the one hand, it’s entirely possible that closing the Gates of Hell would have been another “Nice Job Breaking It, Hero” moment this series is so fond of, creating a backup of damned souls with nowhere to go like we saw happen with Heaven, and it’s a popular theory that the two sets of Trials would mirror each other. However, I actually don’t think that the spell Metatron used to close Heaven’s Gates was even close to the real Heaven Trials, nor would it be in any way the same as the one for closing Hell’s Gates. We won’t know for sure, because Sam didn’t finish them, but Metatron’s spell ejected all the angels. Pretty sure Kevin would have seen if the Trials to close Hell were going to eject all the demons, considering he was banking heavily on all the demons being locked away so he could go home and not have to worry about Crowley and his demons breathing down his neck. That said, the Demon Trials were definitely taking their toll on Sam, but it’s all speculation as to whether that was because the Trials were killing him because that was the Trials, or because Sam’s demon blood was reacting badly to the influx of Power, or what. That’s up to fanfic authors to explore, but since canon didn’t take us in that direction we’ll probably never know.

55: How long would you survive as a hunter?

I’d do well enough, provided I wasn’t a victim of unfriendly fire, ie other hunters coming after me because they’re extremist assholes. I’d do better as part of the support system, running a hunters’ bar/restaurant and information network and phone tree.

56: What’s your opinion on Calthazar?

Balthazar deserved better than to be stabbed in the back by a Hell-corrupted Castiel.

57: Do you have a Netflix account? If so, what’s your username and password? Wait a second, just the first part.

I have no idea what the family Netflix username is since I’m usually not… using it? At all? Because my kids take over the television to watch Paw Patrol and Bubble Guppies and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood?

60: If you could change just one thing about the series, what would it be?

Fire BuckLemming.

63: What’s your opinion on Sam/Crowley?

I could see it happening, maybe. Crowley certainly respects Sam. The problem is that after Ruby and the continuous Sam-shaming over her that Dean/fandom does, Sam is really not keen to get involved with another demon like that, especially not after some of the things Crowley’s done to Sam and to people Sam cares about. Work with him as a wary ally, yes, but a relationship? Highly doubtful outside of AUs.

65: What’s your favorite (or at least a memorable) pop culture reference that has been made on the show?

Dean calling Sam “Velma”, particularly after Scoobynatural where we got canon Salma. Jinkies! XD

66: Just a random confession you have regarding the show/Asker makes up their own question.

I most likely would have continued to not watch this show if I hadn’t been drawn in by the fanfic first, and indeed actually started watching the show so I wouldn’t be breaking my own rules of not writing fanfic for a fandom for which I haven’t seen the source material when I inevitably gave in to the plot bunnies nipping at my vulnerable brain.
