HANDLE WITH CARE .ᐟ
Tumblr media
✩ — in which soshiro hoshina finds himself getting treated by his favorite nurse, you.
✩ — includes: soshiro hoshina x gn!reader. fluff. cw: mentions of blood and injuries, inaccurate use of medical terms ?? sorry i just used google uhm. wc: 990. established (secret !!!) relationship. reblogs and feedback are much appreciated !!
✩ — note: i became obsessed with these two that i might just write a part two of reader treating him after the tachikawa base raid arc actually.
Tumblr media
soshiro hoshina does not play favorites.
when it comes to his subordinates, at least.
when it comes to the medical team assigned to the tachikawa base, however, that is when he plays favorites (though you would never see the vice captain of the third division actually admit that; he prefers calling it his “preferences”). whenever he finds himself in the base’s infirmary, he will always look for you. and when he’s lucky, which on most occasions he is, then he’ll have you treat his wounds. it’s just something that hoshina has grown accustomed to whenever he finds himself there. nothing more, nothing less (a lie).
you were a special case for the vice captain. there was just something about the way you handled his wounds compared to others. call it picky, but he just prefers the gentle treatment that you give his wounds. (how come hoshina constantly prefers to be treated by you when others would treat him the same? isn't that part of your job in the first place?)
(the answer is simple—it’s simply an act of soshiro hoshina asking for some quality time, even if he’s all bruised and bloody.)
“i’m almost convinced that you do this on purpose sometimes.”
soshiro simply grins at you. you weren’t entirely wrong—but it’s not like hoshina asks himself to get hurt when he goes out on missions in the first place. he could handle himself pretty well; he has the high position of being the vice captain of the third division, for christ’s sake. but perhaps it is inevitable that even the vice captain would come out of a mission unscathed.
“i like the concern from you.”
you give him a lighthearted eyeroll, to which he only grins even wider. "i'm sure you do," yet that grin slowly dissipated as he winced slightly at the feeling of the alcohol touching the wound near his eyebrow. “sorry, did that hurt too much?” you asked him, worried that it might’ve stung too much for his liking. this type of close proximity was normal for you and him. after all, it’s not like this is the first time your face was this close to his—though those are times when hoshina feels rather affectionate with you rather than in pain due to some wound he got.
“nothing i can’t handle, love.” he says, recovering quite fast from the alcohol sting. he was then met with a gentle tap on the lips—hoshina knows it was a warning from you. “watch your words, vice captain.” you say, applying a small gauze pad to his wound and securing it with paper tape.
“can’t really help it when you look so pretty up close, sweetheart.”
you ignored his remark but soshiro could see the smile that tugged on your lips at the petname. you then moved on to his next wound, which is on his left shoulder. his expression softens as he watches you inspect his wound, a small amount of guilt bubbling up inside of him. “this is gonna need a little stitch,” you sighed, grabbing another cotton ball, pouring the right amount of alcohol on it, and preparing to gently dab it on the wound. “and this might hurt a bit again.” you give him a heads up.
“like i said, it’s nothing that i can’t handle,” he reassured. whether it’s you he’s reassuring or himself to convince himself, neither of you really know. he hissed slightly when the cotton ball came into contact with his skin; it was barely even heard that he hissed in the first place. but you noticed it; you always do. you would notice everything about the man before you and he would do the same.
after cleaning his shoulder wound, you proceeded to prepare to stitch it up. there was no one else in the infirmary at the moment; it was now only you and hoshina there. he silently watched you as you quickly arranged the surgical suture. and even when you started the stitching, the deafening silence was still comfortable. 
soshiro gently raised his right arm since it was uninjured and used his hand to smoothly tuck your other strands of hair behind your ear. you looked at him, raising an eyebrow at his gesture. he smiles at you in return. “your hair might get in the way. we don’t want my stitches to have your hair stuck in them now, don't we?”
you quickly finish up the stitch and put gauze on top as well. “i’m sorry.” soshiro’s apology is as genuine as it always is whenever he gets treated in this same room. “i’m starting to feel quite better now, though. couldn’t do it without my favorite nurse.” he continues, as he grabs ahold of your unoccupied hand.
he hears you chuckle at his words as you interlock your fingers together. “avoid arduous training or activities for a good one week and you’ll be good as new.” you said, sighing as now you’re finally done with treating your boyfriend. “eh? no fair. i have to go help the rookies train the day after tomorrow.”
“i’m sure captain ashiro would let you off the hook in the meantime, soshiro.”
“oh, we’re on a first name basis now?” he asks, and this time it was his turn to raise an eyebrow. you bring your other hand up to his cheek, caressing it as your thumb grazes his cheek bone. he leans into your palm as if it were a reflex. “we’ve always been on a first name basis, dummy.” you say.
“maybe all of my pain could go away if you just gave me a little kiss, you know, as your vice captain.”
“now that’s just abuse of authority. do you ask other nurses for a kiss too?” you pouted.
“that’s why your my favorite nurse.” he replies, clearly emphasizing the word “favorite” as he steals a kiss from you.
yeah, vice captain soshiro hoshina definitely does not play favorites.

"Hm, not that one. Dear, I think the last one was it. Perfectly traditional, without being stuffy," Winnifred insists.
You stare at yourself in the mirror. Your pick is everything you prefer. Simple and easy. Not uncomfortable. Not fussy laces or elaborate beading and endless skirts. Just a dress.
Of course, it wouldn't be good enough for a king. Nor his mother. You temper your disappointment. You assume that will need to become a habit. Your opinion, as always, is secondary.
"I suppose it it a bit plain," you agree, "sure. We can go with the last one."
"Are you sure?" Kitty pushes her shoulders up as she slides to the edge of the seat.
"Yes, it's fine," you assure her.
"Congratulations," the associate steps forward. "Shall we get you back in it?"
"No, you can just put in the order," you say. You are in no rush to have her ream on those laces again.
"Of course, you've had a long day," she agrees sheepishly, if not with a hint of surprise. Eight hours is a long day. Too long to spend in a shop. "You should ring the bell. Since you found your dress."
"The bell?" You question then glance over at the other women. "Okay."
The associate flits off and you stand listless in the dress you'll mourn with your previous life. When she returns, she has a big golden bell. She gives you a speech about your happy day and hands it over. You give it a jingle then just as quickly give it back.
"You sure you don't want to try it on again?" Winnifred asks.
You shake your head, "sorry, it's been a long few days."
"Oh, yes, our condolences," Rebecca intones. "Mother, I think Bucky might already have a few words for us for keeping his bride so long already."
"Yes, despite my best efforts, he can be a greedy little boy," Winnifred laughs.
You attempt a smile. You can imagine it's more of a quiver in your lips. Winnifred stands, the other women as well, your sisters hesitant. The three of you are cautiouslt wading through this new world. One where you're no long insignificant. The threat of your father's disapproval has been replaced by a greater one.
You did this. You and your selfish impulsivity. You could excuse yourself for fear or desperation, but you can blame yourself just as much for not thinking out the consequences. Not that you could ever guess they would involve a white gown and diamond ring.
There is some chatter as you are taken back to the lobby. Winnifred attends to the payment as you retreat in embarrassment. Your sisters exchange a none-so-subtle look of concern.
"Well then, girls," the matriarch turns with an accomplished sigh, "allow us to escort you love bridesmaids home." She declares, "I believe you," she stops in front of you and takes your hand, "are due to meet your beloved. Do tell my son I send my tidings. Certainly it won't be long until I might do so myself."
Your sisters stir nervously. You glance at them and nod. Just do what you're told. It's always been the best strategy.
"That's very kind of you,, Winnifred," Kitty speaks first.
"Ah not at all, I should like to see your side of town. I am painfully nosy, though I might paint it as curiousity," she lets you go. "And you might give me some insight into my future daughter. She is rather enigmatic thus far."
You wince. Of course, it all methodical. You claim your jackets and emerge outside. Wanda, Rebecca, and Natasha claim one car, your sisters and Winnifred the next, and another idles as you approach.
The driver comes around and pulls open the door. You hate that. It feels as if you are a puppet on strings. You move to the tugs and tweaks of Barnes' all reaching hand.
You lower yourself onto the seat, peering on ahead of you, and hesitate before you slide in. You don't expect him to be waiting for you there. The door closes as you shift further in. Barnes' takes your hand before you can settle and kisses your knuckle above the ostentatious stone setting.
"Doll," he purrs.
"Barnes," you greet plaintively.
"Ah, you don't gotta be like that," he drawls as he clings to your hand, his thumb feeling the stones.
"Sorry," you nibble your lip. "I'm only tired."
"Yes, I hope you found something," he says. "Ladies and their dresses."
"Mm, yes," you affirm.
He tuts, "you don't sound very excited."
"Not sure I'm fit to wear white..." you mutter.
"Doesn't bother me, doll. We've both lived lives before we met--"
"Not that," you interject, surprisingly yourself at your curtness. "You know why."
He inhales deeply and sighs, "he got all he had coming. We both know that."
"Yes, but it was me...." you trail off and shrug.
You sense him watching you. You stare ahead and swallow down all those confusing emotions. "It's done, I suppose."
"I respect the apathy, doll, but you don't gotta play cool with me," he insists.
"I don't give-- I don't care about him."
He nods and gives a thoughtful im, "your sisters. Have I not proven myself to you? I told you I'd see to them, I'm a man of my word.”
“I believe it,” you resign. “It's… a lot. I don't think I'm what you think. I don't think I can do this.” You slump in defeat. “I'm not what you're looking for. You've made a bad choice.”
“Hmph,” he scoffs. “That you even got the guts to tell me so shows me you're wrong. You don't know how right you are for me, doll.”
He snakes his arm behind you and pulls you close. “Now you're not gonna roll over and show your belly. Not if you're my woman.”
“I'm not…”
“We were both in that warehouse,” he lowers his voice as his fingertips curl into your hip. His other hand brushes over your lap. “You did what needed to be done. Just like today. Just like yesterday. Every step of the way You've shown me exactly what you say you're not.”
“Bucky, I just wanted to be free,” you latch onto his forearm. “That's all–”
“You're free. And safe. You know what I'd do for you, doll? What I'll do to keep you safe? Happy? To keep you mine.” He leans in to nuzzle your cheek, “that's the one thing about me you haven't figured out. I'm stubborn. I put my mind to something and I do it. Exactly what you did when you showed up battered and begging–”
“Please,” you rasp and his nose tickles down your cheek and he dips down to kiss your neck. His lips and beard send a tingle through you.
“On my honour, you'll never look like that again. You'll never be bruised and the hand that dares to lay a single blemish on you will be cut off,” he nips your skin.
The tenor of his voice brooks no doubt nor the tight grip his keeps on your thigh. His hot breath blooms around your neck and he growls. You made a deal with the devil and now he's come to collect.

The Boys Preference: Supe Hating Their Powers
Requested: Hii! I loved what you wrote for my last request, so I figured I'd drop another one✨ May I request a the boys preference where it's basically (bear with me, I'm gonna try to explain) reader is a supe, but refuses to use their powers bc of whatever reason (feeling dangerous, not liking the ability, keeping it secret etc) But it's their reaction to when their S/O uses their abilities to protect them, bc no matter how terribly they hate being a supe, they'd embrace it to keep them safe - @ghostlyaccurate
Requested: hii! how are you doing? may i request a The Boys preference where reader is a supe, but their powers are very self-destructive (like, using it too much could be dangerous to reader themself), and basically their reaction to reader using their abilities to save them, despite it nearly killing themself? also, so sorry if this is too dark! you can totally change it to just being tiring if your more comfortable writing that <3 - @yinorathedragontamer
A/N: I combined these two requests, I hope you don't mind!! I love both of these ideas and I thought they'd work well together :) I imagine it like Cate with her eyes/seizures when she pushes too much/too many people. I made all the powers different cuse I thought it would be more interesting! Thank you for requesting!!! Feedback is always appreciated 💜💜💜
Tumblr media
Butcher never wanted you to use your powers if you didn't want to. But when he needed saving, you didn't give it a second thought. Your powers feel like burning alive. The fire, the flames, they're powerful, but it's excruciating. You save him I the end, but you spend days after feeling like you've been burned at the stake. There are no actual physical burns, but your body still feels that way. It never gets easier, either. He's grateful you saved him, but he knows how painful your powers can be. He tries to help as much as possible, but there's really nothing you can do but wait it out. It was one of the first things he ever knew about you: you're a Supe with side effects. He didn't realize how bad it would be until you were locking yourself away, trying to ease the burning sensation around your whole body.
Tumblr media
Hughie knew what happened when you healed other people. You'd told him in graphic detail the last time you'd used your abilities. He told you you'd never have to use them, ever. But he was hurt. He was losing consciousness. You were the only one who could help him. You were the only one who could save him. So, you did. And in return your skin unzipped, blood pouring out of you. You couldn't breathe. You couldn't make a sound. You would have to die before you could go back to normal. Hughie hated watching this. He begged for help, but there was no one around. It was horrible. He'd wake up from nightmares where you'd die and die again. You told him it wouldn't happen again, that you were sorry he'd have to see that. He knew he should have been grateful, that you saved him, but it was awful. You knew how awful it was and that's why you never used it.
Tumblr media
Annie refused to let you use your powers. She told you outright she had it handled, but when the time came for her to fight, you knew it was a losing battle. You could leave your body and take over others. You jumped from body to body, taking each person out, but by the time you find you way back to your body you're exhausted, your eyes bloodshot, your mind cloudy. Like Cate, you're susceptible to seizures when you push yourself too much, when you spread yourself too thin. The more people you take over, the worse it gets. Annie feels awful that you had to save her, when you had to risk your health and safety. It was amazing to see. As soon as you took over their bodies she could tell it was you. But the side effects were awful. She couldn't stop worrying about you, worrying about what would happen.
Tumblr media
M.M. never realized what your powers would entail. You could read other people's minds. That didn't seem so bad. You rarely ever used it, though. He never pushed you to explain or use it, but when the team needed you, when your abilities were the only answer, you did what you could. Days later you were still hearing people. You tried to drown it out with TV and music, but they were in your head. It felt like the while city was talking through your brain. Screaming and crtuing and laughter and fears and worries and everything. Every feeling and thought a person could he capable of, that's what you were experiencing. It was horrible. You were never sure how long it lasted. It felt like an eternity. You cried to him, trying to keep it together, but all you could hear was his apologies. He felt awful for asking you to do this.
Tumblr media
Frenchie never would have asked you to save him, save the day, but you had no choice. He was in danger. You would have done anything to protect him. Your sonic scream is rarely ever shown off. You're not totally embarrassed by it, but it has some pretty awful side effects. Plus you didn't love being a Supe. You felt lied to by your family. When you do scream, heads splatter. Frenchie was shocked you were capable of that. Afterwards your throat burns, you lose your voice. You can't talk for days, maybe even weeks, and though you try not to, you can't help but try to talk, argue, bicker with The Boys. Your voice sounds so painful, gravely, and he encourages you to put it on rest. It's your throat that hurts, like it's on fire. You rarely ever used your abilities because it was a one and done deal. You were powerful, you could kill, but it came with it's own consequences.
Tumblr media
Kimiko only knew the general ideas about your Supe abilities. Your blood was poison. You had to he careful about getting hurt or rooms full of people, a whole hospital floor, would he dead. Kimiko had been seriously hurt and though you knew she would come back fine, your anger and hurt got the better of you. You slice yourself open, spewing blood everywhere, all over the bad guys. Before then you urged The Boys to get out of there, not wanting to hurt your teammates. Everyone around you drops dead. You stitch yourself up alone, making sure there's not a drop of blood left outside of your body. Kimiko is horrified at your work and the fact that you hurt yourself so badly for her when she ended up being fine. It hurt and made you feel like a freak, but you did it for her. Besides, your stitches were getting a little better.

2+3+9+11+23 for sam and 29+33+35+62 for digs
Sam
2. Who is the one who fusses the most? Does their S/O mind very much?
I'm casually fussy because it's the people pleaser in me. Sam appreciates my helpfulness, but there are some things that he prefers to handle on his own and he has a pet peeve about people hovering when he is focusing on something. He also recognizes that undercurrent of wanting to be useful and it makes his stomach churn that I still struggle with the same toxic trait that I helped him recover from. Funnily enough, he uses similar cognitive behavioral methods to redirect my energy to helping him with adjacent tasks as a team instead of anxiously waiting to jump in on demand. We're partners and partners communicate :)
3. What is their love language?
Sam defaults to acts of service because he's comforted by the knowledge that he helped my day a bit easier by shortening my to-do list or surprising me with a little treat :) He also appreciates spending quality time together, even if it's simply parallel play in the moment.
9. If there wasn't enough seats, how would they sit? One on the other's lap? One on the armrest? One on the floor in front of them?
Sam would actually die if I sat on his lap in public lmfao He'd be a gentleman and offer me a chair. We get stuck in a polite feedback loop and end up leaning against a wall together.
11. Who is clingy?
Meee :3c Although I'm very physically affectionate, Sam's personal boundaries and preferences help dictate the amount of physical contact he's comfortable with at that moment. He's more likely to indulge me when we're home, leaving space open on the couch or bed for me to clamber next to him.
Sam is tactile in his own way: reciprocating my attention to his hair and hands, kissing my forehead, and offering hugs that are equally strong and reassuring. He's at his clingiest when we're both nearly asleep, lulled by the soft puff of breath against his chest and drawing me close to rest his head on top of mine.
23. Who said "I love you" first?
I did. We were still in the U.NSC and Sam had received his first marching orders to be shipped out to a particularly active combat theatre while I was pushing pencils to get my foot in the door of O.NI's xenoarchaelogy department. There was a mutual attraction - mental, emotional, and physical - but neither of us had made a move due to regulations and our respective career risks.
It was half caused by the beers we'd crushed the evening before and half panicked impulse that if I didn't confess and something bad happened to him, I would never forgive myself for not taking the chance to let him know that he had someone waiting on him.
Sam's initial lack of reaction almost made me cut and run before he reciprocated the sentiment with the first true, bruising hug he'd given someone - anyone - in his lifetime.
Digs
29. What's an insecurity they hold about their relationship?
Beneath the bravado and swagger, Digs knows that he's a fuck up with zero prospects who will either end up dead from a botched Squad mission or his own misfortune. He worries that one day I'll wisen up and leave him in the rearview mirror like everyone else with good sense does. Digs feigns disinterest and noncommitment, but he scrabbles to hold onto anything remotely good in his life for as long as he can, which he habitually botches due to his tendency to overcorrect with exaggerated or lackluster reactivity.
33. Which one of them gives "that look" when the other is acting like a fool?
bro why did you even ask this you know it's me lmfao
Digs thinks my pursed lips and scrunched nose of disapproval are adorable that he rarely takes my warnings seriously until I yank him down by the collar or start dialing S.lade's or S.nart's number to straighten him out.
35. How does each significant other view any exes and former relationships?
He preens knowing that he's my first "real" relationship in the most threadbare definition of the word, but makes an honest attempt to respect my personal boundaries after he learns about my handful of failure-to-launch attempts at dating that ended with me going into hiding more than once. I genuinely appreciate his enthusiastic offers to kill the guys who made me feel unsafe, but they're honestly not worth the charges. I'm not so insecure to get jealous of Digs' past partners, having fully accepted his manwhore past, present, and probably future. If anything, I feel somewhat flattered when he surprises me with a stick-n-poke tattoo of my name on his dick rendered in a shaky attempt at elegant cursive above the hastily crossed-out names of his most recent exes. Given what he's working with, there is a LOT of real estate :^)
62. How would outside characters describe their relationship?
Enmeshed, barely medicated fuck buddies. They dodge each other's red flags like Neo and need to get sterilized for society's sake as well as their own. - W.aller Further proof that no loving god would have allowed them to match each other's freak; everyone else is just so much collateral. - S.lade
I'm gonna officiate their trashy dive bar wedding or I'll blow up the Gotham City courthouse!!! - H.arley Q.uinn

Congrats on 3k followers 🎉!
My absolute favorite fic from you is prefects and t(h)reats, and I remember sending an ask to you about it. I still think about the fingering scene from time to time, and it's my most beloved Seonghwa fic 💕 Some of my other favorite fics including in vino veritas (dilf Hongjoong? Sign me up pls), needle to the heart (this left me with so much complex emotions and melancholia and all the what ifs, and the scene in the car with San altered my brain chemistry), and outlaw (how is this "couple" doing? where and they now? has her feelings for him changed?)
For the numbered asks: 2, 10 and 14!
Some of my preferences:
silent/shy reader or loud/outgoing reader? I try my very best to give feedbacks but I'm kind of self-conscious with my limited English sometimes
multiple chapter fics or oneshots? I prefer reading everything in one post if it's possible
energetic songs or soft songs? Soft or slower songs are not really my thing
I will end this long ask here 🫣 again, congrats on your milestone 👏 and I appreciate you sharing your writing with us 💌
Thank youu <33 I'm so glad you enjoyed Prefects and t(h)reats, I just wish I didn't rush it :( that deserved to be a 15k word slowburn! Needle to the heart destroyed me, and I was the one who wrote it lol
How do you think Outlaw ended? You think she complained about being dragged from the town where they saw her as nothing but a body by a hot cowboy that treated her better than anyone did? ;) I know I wouldn't hehe but oh the wife could be back in the picture and he might've been a liar after all! :O
2. hobbies
Aside from writing and reading, I love to draw, I do nails, I play games (I am playing Witcher 3 again, that game has me in a chokehold), I assemble and paint Warhammer 40k figurines, recently I've been playing lots of Dress to Impress (DON'T JUDGE ME <333), and I sometimes do embroidery :)
10. how i got into writing
I started writing very early (my Wattpad says joined 2011, I am 21 now.), simply because it was my escape into the worlds I was writing (being sold do one direction and all that lol), then it evolved into writing things I wanted to read but didn't exist, and that's what I still do. I wish to read something. It doesn't exist? No problem. I will do it myself!
14. tell me your favourite recipe
Ooo I have another one.
I use store bought puff pastry, dice chicken breast in thin slices like you do for wok, smother it in curry, paprika, salt, pepper and a bit of chilli, fry it, then put it in the rolled out puff pastry, I use store bought curry and mango paste and put it on one side of the puff pastry, and then close it and shape it like a calzone, put it in the oven/air fryer, and devour it. :)
Your preferences:
silent/shy reader or loud/outgoing reader? I try my very best to give feedbacks but I'm kind of self-conscious with my limited English sometimes
That's okay! I only recently started giving feedback because I realized that I too like to receive them. Two or three words are enough to keep your favourite writers going :)
multiple chapter fics or oneshots? I prefer reading everything in one post if it's possible
Honestly, same sometimes. I just don't have the capacity for 50+ chapter works.
energetic songs or soft songs? Soft or slower songs are not really my thing
Same. The song must be really good or I must be in such a mood for me to listen to it. Energetic songs all day every day!
Thank you for leaving this ask, I hope we cross paths again <33

I have received the new snakes!
So, although I like the new snakes, I prefer the original. And even though I very much appreciate your offer to send me new ones in the original design, I don't want you to have to go all through that for me. That doesn't feel right.
What I hope you will consider doing - not that I'm sure this is possible, I don't know how you do the things - is making both the thinner and thicker options available in the shop.
I have small fingers (because I'm weird) and I like the original because it's lighter and thinner and reminds me of playing with coins, especially in sound. The new one is a little heavier and thicker in the hand, and it reminds me of playing with small glass marbles in feel and sound. (Hope the comparison makes sense.)
So, I think the two options makes sense for different hands and different stim sounds and feels people are looking for.
I'm sure I'll get used to the new ones. It'll just take some time. So, please don't worry about replacing them. And I probably wouldn't have been noticing the feel difference if it wasn't for getting this chance to try both. So, that's just down to insane timing.
Hope this was helpful and not upsetting in anyway!
oh no worries this is definitely helpful! and i actually agree with you, i do have a slight personal preference to the thinner snakes, but i decided the thicker one should probably be the default after i did some testing by intentionally breaking them. obviously don't do this but alfkdj hypothetically if you were to take two of the segments in your hands and forcefully twist them past their stopping point, you'd notice the thinner snakes break much easier than the thicker ones despite only being 5mm thick versus 4mm thick. i figured it would suck getting reviews where people were like "these are cute but i already managed to break one :(" yknow?
so i'll have to decide whether i wanna offer the original version separately (i guess i could offer them with a disclaimer in the description), BUT the other issue is something i can address easier!
when i designed the version that changes colors in the presence of heat (essentially making it hollow for faster heat absorption), i noticed those were lighter in the hand and they had a much more clacky sound to them due to the hollow segments :O personally i liked it, so a good middle ground may be to just make the rest of them hollow? i'll have to keep thinking about it obviously because i should probably avoid making any compulsive design changes lol, but definitely helpful feedback! down the road, if you end up getting more, then feel free to ask beforehand what conclusion i ended up going with and we can figure something out :O

Starsandspicedpeaches ao3 wrapped [writers edition]
Well guys, I told you I was going to do it! I wanted to make a brief summary of the content I’ve created this year based on this post (https://starsandspicedpeaches.tumblr.com/post/737795154739707904/floydsin-ao3-wrapped-writers-edition-how-many) and take a moment to appreciate what I managed to do, even if it wasn’t much. Below I’ve answered all the questions for the ao3 wrapped, and I made sure to link all my fics so if you see one that interests you, you can just click it and don’t have to hunt it down. I hope you all had a happy holiday and look forward to new content in the new year! 
How many words have you written this year?
Only 11,733, but for someone in college full-time that’s not too bad. 
How many works did you publish this year?
4 works, all Resident Evil. 
What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?
I think I’m proudest of The Blue Eyed Bunny and the Green Eyed Monster oddly enough. It was my least popular work but I experimented a lot with emotion, timing, and subjects I wasn’t used to. I think that story is where I put a lot of my growth. 
What work of yours has the most hits?
Alphas, Omegas, and Workplace Etiquette by a long shot. It is also one of the only s/muts I wrote this year though I think and so that may play into its popularity. 
What work of yours got more feedback than you expected?
Again, Alphas, Omegas, and Workplace Etiquette. I’m still not used to writing s/mut and I have never practiced A/B/O dynamics, I only did it for a prompt, so I was extremely surprised by how into it people seemed to be. It also features trans omega Wesker because that’s just what I personally like, so I thought by inserting my headcanons I was ensuring the story would be a flop. I was shocked and thrilled that so many people were willing to read content that not only may have gone outside their personal preferences but also features a trans character. It has definitely encouraged me to just write what I want how I want and work on making things for myself, not just others.
Favorite title you used
I liked the title The Blue Eyed Bunny and the Green Eyed Monster just because I feel like it was creative and was one of those titles that you aren’t exactly sure what it means until you read the story (or at least the description and tags I guess). 
If you use song lyrics, which artist’s songs did you pull from the most?
I don’t think I used any song lyrics this year. I generally don’t, just not my cup of tea. Maybe I should try it next year!
Pairing you wrote the most for this year?
Chrisker (Chris Redfield x Albert Wesker) was the only ship I wrote this year, lmao. 
Favorite pairing you wrote for this year?
Chrisker again, only thing I wrote, but I don’t regret it, it’s a top-tier ship. 
What work was the quickest to write?
No Questions, when I was writing it I still didn’t really have a community to work with so I did everything myself on my own time. I was able to get it out fast because I did all the writing and editing and didn’t have to wait on anyone, but that also meant I had no feedback before posting, and that probably lessened the quality. 
What work took you the longest to write?
Alphas, Omegas, and Workplace Etiquette. Not only was it my longest word count, but I had also never written A/B/O before so I really had to mess with it, edit it, and play with it a lot. Additionally, my biggest criticism with A/B/O is that it can often time feel really rape-y and I didn’t want to create a tone where it felt like Chris was taking advantage of Wesker, that’s not how I understood Chris’s character in this fic. I was really just taking a lot of time to reread and edit it into something where it felt in character and like something I could be proud of. 
How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?
Right now I only have one WIP, but I have more than twenty ideas written down. Typically I never have more than one or two WIPs in progress at a time because if I start to do more I never get any projects done. 
What’s your longest work of the year?
Alphas, Omegas, and Workplace Etiquette with nearly 5,000 words.
What’s your shortest work of the year?
The Alternate Approach with less than 2,000. 
What WIP are you taking into next year with you?
Well don’t look ahead if you want to be surprised, but last year I started a little smut piece where Uroborous messes with Wesker while he’s still working on creating it. I started on it but then I found out about Chrisker week and made that my priority. I certainly don’t plan on abandoning that project though so hopefully you’ll see it before 2025. 
What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag?
Lmfao it’s a tie between trans Albert Wesker, vaginal fingering, and vaginal sex. I don’t even know what to say. 
Your favorite character to write this year?
Honestly, she only shows up in one fic but probably Rebecca. I love her character and think she deserves all the love in the world. Plus, she’s just a good person trying to take care of others so it felt nice to write. 
The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?
I think Chris was the hardest, which I think is funny since I wrote from his perspective so much. I think it’s easy to make Chris a little shallow and one note since he’s typically the protagonist in the games, and so he needs to be just a bit blank slate-y for the player to connect to the world through him. That means that as a writer I have more free reign to interpret his thoughts and motivations how I want, but that room for creativity is scary, especially when you know that there will be people who interpret him differently. 
What’s one pairing you want to explore next year?
I do want to play around with a little Albert x Sergei because 1. I love toxic yaoi and want those cunts to be nasty to each other, and 2. old man pretty. 
Which work of yours have you reread the most?
Once I publish my works I almost never reread them because I know that I’ll just hate everything and never stop thinking about how I should have done this or changed that. Taking that into consideration, most likely Alphas, Omegas, and Workplace Etiquette just because I edited it so much and kept going over it for flaws again and again.  
How many kudos in total did you get this year?
255 kudos, thank you all so much!
Which work has the most comments?
The Alternate Approach, I was certainly surprised by this but those who read it seemed to really like it. Thank you all for letting me know your thoughts!
Did you do any collaborative works this year?
Nope. I really have no clue where to start with collaborative works and I’ve never done it before. If I ever did one it would probably be just for fun, not super professional. 
Did you write any gifts this year?
No, I’m only just starting to find communities and friends to fit in with in fandom, and I tend to really struggle with socializing so making a friend in the first place has been tricky lol. That’s why I’m always telling you all to reach out, if you want me to be your friend just claim me, I’ll let you know if it’s ever too much. 
Did you receive any gifts this year?
No, most likely for the same reasons as above. 
What’s your most common category?
Not entirely sure what categories are on AO3 but Chris Redfield/Albert Wesker I think? 
What do you listen to while writing?
Usually nothing, I get super sucked into music so I can’t really listen to much. Sometimes I’ll play soundtracks if it’s a good attention day. If that’s the case I’ll listen to the soundtracks from Midsommar, Hereditary, Coraline, and Squid Game. 
Favorite work you wrote this year?
The Blue Eyed Bunny and the Green Eyed Monster, Wesker is just such a fucking cunt in this one and I loved getting to see him mind-game Chris into bad behavior too. Exploring the issues with their relationship while simultaneously seeing it prevail, especially as a prequel to the events of the first game where the reader knows just how much worse Wesker gets was so much fun. Plus, I got to write the STARS team who we don’t see a ton in the game, and bring them back to life for a little bit. See them be people with flaws, loves, and passions, not just cannon fodder for the monsters in the mansion. 
Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
Probably this excerpt from The Blue Eyed Bunny and the Green Eyed Monster (spoilers ahead): 
��Are you upset about me showing up to Barry’s Party in this outfit?” He asked, pulling the jacket off the reveal that Chris had indeed been right, he still had the costume on.
“Yeah, I am upset, and I think you know that.”
“Hmm, and why does me showing up to a party with all your friends and coworkers dressed like this upset you, Chris?” Albert purred, slowly stepping closer.
“What do you want from me, Albert?” Chris blurted out, “Don’t you think I’ve dealt with enough bullshit tonight?”
Albert stepped forward and took Chris’s chin in his hand, pushing his head up to make eye contact. Chris didn’t know why but he let him.
“Just tell me. Chris, why did it upset you?”
“Because I’m jealous. I’m jealous I’ve every person who gets near you, every person who gets to touch you, everyone who gets to enjoy looking you up and down like that because I want it only to be me.”
I liked the push and pull in the moment, Wesker forcing information out of Chris and just playing him. It shows Wesker finding Chris’s flaws and forcing them out into the light for his own pleasure. 
Biggest surprise while writing this year?
I think I was surprised by the communities that formed around writing. Like I said, I tend to struggle with socializing and just understanding people in general so I wasn’t expecting myself to find people who consistently interacted within fanfic. There were readers who came back and commented on the works I make regularly, the Chrisker Week server has evolved into a new server where people still talk about the ship and work on content together, and I just kind of notice the same people milling about offering kind words and inspiration when most needed. It’s been really beautiful
Thank you all again so much for following me and interacting so kindly when I do put work out. This year has been a delight and an opportunity for a lot of growth in my writing which will hopefully go into making next year even better! Take care everyone and I'm sending you the best on this new adventure!

"O-oh, good, you did come! Should've expected as much from the new Champion, yeah? Anyway, welcome to the Aspen Rehabilitation Lab, my dad's...no, you're not here for a history lesson, I know. So yeah, this is where we've been trying to restore the Quaralith population. It's been going pretty good, but lately there's been some suspicious activity in that old ghost town down the way that's got some of 'em spooked. And me too, to be perfectly honest. Hopefully this isn't too much to ask, but could you check things out for us? Linda may not have the best opinion of me, but she has good reason. If you think she has a point then don't do this for me, but for the Quaralith. They'll appreciate it just like I would."
Hey, probably didn't expect to see any newcomers to the Cantessy region after so long, didja? Yeah, I had a postgame area planned and I'd designed new Pokemon for it and just...never did anything with the human characters in it for so long, hehe. Anyway, here's the current head of the Aspen Rehabilitation Lab, Professor Brett Aspen. He really doesn't seem like the type to be in charge of anything, kind of flaky and nervous and self-doubting. It doesn't help matters when his prior history of plagiarizing in school comes up, but he insists he's been on the straight and narrow since that incident, especially after seeing how badly it disappointed his father. Being the professor's kid may have gave him one more chance to clean up his act, but that's all he got.
Professor Aspen will arrive at Professor Chestnut's lab to ask for the player's help after they've become Cantessy's new Champion, and she is not happy to see him again after all these years. They went to college together, you see, and not only was she the fellow student he plagiarized out of what he claims was desperation...well, let's just say that his studies weren't the only thing he was cheating on at that time.

Tumblr media
Your phone buzzes as your niece bounces dangerously close to the tree. Your sister's in town with her two kids, but neither her or her husband seem to care much about watching them. Somehow, you're tasked with that and unsure what to do about their endless energy. You envy them truly so you just kind of let them go.
You hear your mother and sister chattering in the kitchen, her husband is in the garage with your stepdad, and as always, you're the odd one out. You slide your phone out and check the ID. It's Bucky, technically your new boss. You notice you've missed a few texts from him. Great. Not a good start. You were supposed to tell everyone at dinner about your new gig.
You answer, watching the kids without much thought, play tug of war over a string of tinsel. You should stop them but it'll just snap anyhow. You clear your throat and put your hand to your cheek, feeling the nervousness warm your skin.
"Hello, Mr. B-Barnes," you eke out.
"Bucky, it's fine," he sounds slightly irritated but you don't think you've heard a different tone from him so far, "you're busy?"
"Well, uh, n-not exactly," you shrug, "j-just family s-stuff."
"Family... so you won't be able to go over the script? I just got your edits."
"U-uh, y-yeah, if you want to, I c-can grab my l-laptop," you offer and turn your back to the room.
"I'd prefer it if we could meet. I'm more of a face-to-face person."
"O-old-fashioned," you comment. You regret that he exhales deeply on the other end. "S-sorry, I o-only meant--"
"You're right. I'm old-fashioned. Not a bad thing," he insists, "so, is it too late? Should we find another time?"
"T-tomorrow?"
"I'm going out of town for the weekend," he huffs, "I really want to have this ready to record when I get back."
"R-right," you chew your thumb, a sudden bawling tears through the air as you spin around and find your nephew stuck under the tree. Oh no! "Oh, sh-shoot."
You cover the microphone as you lower the phone. Your sister rushes in, your mother at her heels as they squeal. You watch helpless as she fishes Casey from under the fir branches, "you were supposed to be watching them," she accuses.
"I-I was?"
"Oh, come on, you know, I barely get a minute to myself and you can't just keep an eye on two kids? Ugh, no job and you can't be bothered just to look," she snarls.
They're not your kids. You flutter your lashes as you fight back tears and that smart remark.
"I actually h-have a c-call from m-my new job," you hold out your phone and wiggle it at her, "I d-don't b-babysit f-for free."
She scoffs and your mom tuts as she shakes her head. They don't even care. No congratulations but they can constantly throw your unemployment in your face. You take a breath and roll your eyes.
"S-sorry, I g-got to go," you turn and drag your feet out of the room.
"Well, she didn't say she had a job," your mother mutters as your sister grumbles back, "about time."
You ignore them as you head upstairs. It's better you let your sister bask in her spotlight. You weren't looking forward to dinner anyhow. Not for anything more than the hunger groaning in your stomach. You put the phone back to your ear.
"A-are you there? S-sorry, I g-got distracted."
"Really, if you're busy--"
"N-no, I n-need to get a-away," you say.
You're silent at the confession. You didn't mean to sound so pathetic. You go down the hall to your room and find a sweater.
"Well, uh, how about we meet at the cafe? Middle ground. You like that place?"
"Up t-to you," you murmur, your voice barely above a whisper.
"You need a ride?" He asks, to your surprise.
You pause as you grip the bright pink wool in your hand, "N-no, I'll f-find my way." You swallow and lay the sweater on your bed, "uh, b-bye."
You hang up before he can respond. You're embarrassed. He probably heard all of that and more. And now you've gone and betrayed your stupid self to him. Of all people. He doesn't need to know you're a complete failure. You hate to accept it but you have to; you need him more than he needs you. So maybe you'll just change the damn thesis after all.
🩶
You get to the coffee shop with snow caked on your hat and in the collar of your coat. You shake it off just outside and enter, your cheeks and nose kissed with the cold. As much as you love the winter, it's a bit much. You let out a brrr as you pull of your mitts and tuck them inside your hat. You hear your name and glance over. It's him, he's beat you there.
You tramp over to him as the snow melts off your boots and you wave, setting your bag in the chair as you unbutton your coat.
"Didn't m-mean t-to take too l-long," you say.
"Hot chocolate shouldn't be that cold," he assures you. You wince and look at the table. Sure enough, there's a second cup.
"O-oh, you d-didn't have t-to--"
"It's fine, not a big deal," he shakes his head.
You nod and hang your coat over the back of the chair and tuck away your mittens and hat in the sleeve. You sit and bring your bag into your lap. You flip up the flap and pull out your laptop, chilly from the walk there. You sense him watching you. You leave your computer shut as you lay it out and reach for the hot chocolate. You give it a taste and hum, thanking him.
"Sounds like a rough day," he comments.
"Y-yeah, b-but you d-don't have to w-worry about it," you assure him, glancing around evasively. When is he going to start being mean?
"You got kids?" He asks.
You have to hold in your laughter. "Sister's k-kids," you explain, "n-not for m-me."
"Ah," he accepts and reaches for his coffee, "right. Makes sense."
You keep your eyes down. You don't want to get too personal. Feels like he's just being polite, likely because he feels bad for you, not about his previous behavior.
"Don't got any either," he leans forward, his thick fingers hugging his cup, "so, your new draft was... great."
"R-really?" You lift your gaze meekly.
"Yeah, yeah, I just have a few notes," he sits back to bend down to the bag at his feet, "thanks for coming so last minute.���
You open your laptop, trying not to show any emotion. It's kind of him but you just don't believe it's anything other than pity.

Succession Preference: Giving Them The Silent Treatment
Requested: hi hi! I've been loving succession, I think Tom and Kendall are my favorite characters <3 Could I request a preference for the siblings (+ Tom or Greg if you're comfortable, totally understand if you don't wanna add them) making it up to their S/O after an argument? Maybe their S/O has given them the silent treatment and they wanna fix things?? Or something like that, it's totally up to you <3 - @meltingsandwhich
A/N: Shai!!!! I love this idea!!!! Thank you for requesting!! Feedback is always appreciated 💜💜💜
Tumblr media
Connor would want to rip his hair out. The thought of you being angry and hurt enough to give him the silent treatment kills him. Forgotten and ignored as a child, the silent treatment doesn't sit well with him. It reminds him too much of his father, ripping open old wounds. He gives you the space you need, but eventually it becomes too much. He has to talk to you and he needs you to talk to him, to acknowledge him. He apologizes profusely, desperately, the people pleaser in him coming to life. You're still upset, but you realize immediately what you've done. You did what Logan has been doing to him his entire life. You apologize, too, putting into words why you were so upset. Your relationship isn't perfect, especially after a fight, but you know you cannot do that to him again. You have to talk it out, you have to address things, you have to break the cycle. Connor is more than happy to do so, hating the long stretch of silence.
Tumblr media
Kendall, I think, would be just as petty at first. When you stare at him, mouth closed, anger radiating out of you, he realizes what you're doing and tries to beat you at your own game. He can only last a few minutes before his own insecurities devour him. Why aren't you talking to him? Is it over? Did one fight murder your whole relationship? He can't listen to the quiet anymore, finding any way to fill it. He screams and yells and begs, but you're stubborn. One too many times he has broken his promise to you, he has broken your heart. As far as you're concerned he deserves to suffer. You want him to. Not forever, not forever, but in this moment? It's all you want. He kicks furniture and makes a mess, yelling, angry, hurt. You can't keep it in anymore and you stat yelling, crying, telling him all your pain. Everything he's put you through. He promises to do better, to be better, that this will never happen again. You're not sure if you believe him. You're not sure you'll ever believe him again.
Tumblr media
Shiv sorta pretends nothing happened. She asks you if you want to order in for dinner after a few days of not speaking. You can't believe it. It makes you even angrier, causing you to give her the silent treatment. By not speaking, you're forcing her to address it. You just stare at her as she goes through the drawer of menus. What? Are you seriously still mad? This frustrates her, causing her to become defensive. You're being irrational. You're being insecure. Funny, you say, you're starting to sound like your father. That hits hard. The fights you have are volatile and downright cruel. Afterwards you have to nurse your wounds, you take a few days, before going to one another. There isn't necessarily an apology spoken from either of you, but it's as close as you're going to get. You go back to normal after that. You're sure one of your fights will be the downfall of your relationship one day, but that day isn't this one. You know Shiv doesn't mean it, and neither do you, it's just the kind of thing you were raised to do: go for the throat.
Tumblr media
Roman feels incredibly anxious when you give him the silent treatment. He can't stand it. He tries to fill the silence with jokes, but it doesn't work. His one defense mechanism isn't working nor is it appropriate. When is it ever? You break him down with your blank stare. He feels jittery and nervous and nauseous. Finally, he asks you what's wrong. Is this about our fight? Fuckin- seriously? He can't believe you're still upset. Of course I am, you say. He senses your frustration and he braces for the worst, flinching when you step closer. You explain to him, yet again, that though you're upset, you would never dare hurt him. He kinda wishes you would, at least then it would be all over and you wouldn't have to talk about it. You don't care that it makes him uncomfortable, you don't care if he squirms the whole time, you are going to address what's wrong in your relationship. He's not sure where to start, relying on you. You make up by talking it out in a serious manner, so that he understands.
Tumblr media
Bonus! Tom is a big gift giver after an argument. Though he didn't grow up with money, he's quickly learned that if you throw enough of it at a problem, it'll go away. He knows you typically get quiet after a fight so he lets you be. In the morning he'll have something expensive and thoughtless wrapped up in a bow. You've learned that there's typically a double meaning to what he gets you and it often leaves you more hurt than you already were. You don't want something that cost a lot of money, you don't want something wrapped in a bow, presented to you like it's a million fucking dollars, you want him to change. You want to stop having the same arguments over and over again because, though he promises you he'll be better, he never is. That's what you want. You know if you said this though, it would fly right over his head. He doesn't want to change. He likes himself just the way he is. That's what you can't stand, that's why you go silent.
Tumblr media
Bonus! Greg is pretty much oblivious to your silent treatment. He thinks, after your fight, which is less of a fight and more like a tense conversation when it comes to Greg, that everything is cool. Everything is going to go back to normal. He comes home after work talking about how Rome punched him in the arm and he thinks he's getting somewhere with Mencken when you ignore him. Sore throat? Are you coming down with something? No Greg, you say, frustrated, you're still mad at him. Oh. He didn't think you would be. He thought you got all you needed out when you were talking to him. You have to explain that the conversation you were having was actually a fight, that he participated in it, and he said some pretty hurtful things. Oh. He apologizes, but there's always a "but" in there with an excuse. That's what you're talking about. He's learned from the best at Waystar how not to take accountability.

Food Delivery App Development: Cost, Process, and Trends
If you’re a small business or restaurant owner like me, you’ve probably noticed how much online food ordering has skyrocketed in recent years. Customers expect convenience, and having an online food ordering system is no longer just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. But diving into food delivery application development can feel like a big leap, especially if you’re new to the tech side of things. Don’t worry—I’m here to break it all down for you.
In this post, I’ll walk you through the cost, process, and latest trends in online food ordering app development, so you can make an informed decision for your business.
Understanding the Costs
Tumblr media
Let’s start with the question that’s probably on your mind: How much does it cost to develop a food delivery app?
The cost can vary depending on the app’s complexity, features, and who you hire to develop it. Here’s a general breakdown:
Basic App: If you’re just looking for the essentials like menu display, ordering, and payment options, expect to spend around $10,000–$25,000.
Advanced App: Want to include features like real-time tracking, push notifications, or a loyalty program? The cost can climb to $30,000–$50,000 or more.
Custom App: For a fully customized online food ordering system tailored to your brand, costs can go beyond $50,000.
Remember, these are just ballpark figures. Working with a professional team specializing in food delivery application development ensures you get the most value for your investment.
The Development Process
Now, let’s talk about how the development process works. It’s not as intimidating as it sounds when broken down into steps:
Define Your Goals First, get clear on what you want your app to do. Are you looking to streamline orders, attract new customers, or build loyalty? Knowing your goals will guide the rest of the process.
Choose the Right Features Every online food ordering app development project should include core features like:
User registration/login
Menu browsing
Secure payment options
Order tracking
Customer support You can also consider advanced features like delivery driver apps, AI-based recommendations, or integration with third-party delivery platforms.
Hire a Development Team This is where things get real. Whether you choose an in-house team, freelancers, or an agency, make sure they have experience in food delivery application development. Look at their portfolio, read reviews, and ask about their process.
Design and Development During this phase, the team will work on both the design (user interface) and the development (coding). Make sure the app is visually appealing and easy to use. A seamless user experience is crucial for success.
Testing and Launch Before your app goes live, it’ll go through rigorous testing to ensure it’s bug-free and works perfectly across devices. Once everything checks out, it’s time to launch!
Maintenance and Updates Your app’s journey doesn’t end at launch. Regular updates and maintenance keep it running smoothly and allow you to add new features based on user feedback.
Trends Shaping Food Delivery App Development
Staying ahead of trends is key to making your online food ordering app development a success. Here are some exciting trends to consider:
AI-Powered Recommendations: Imagine an app that suggests dishes based on customer preferences. AI can boost sales and improve customer satisfaction.
Contactless Delivery: Since the pandemic, this feature has become a must-have for safety-conscious customers.
Integration with Smart Devices: Customers love the convenience of ordering via voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant.
Sustainability Features: Eco-conscious customers appreciate options like reusable packaging or carbon offset programs integrated into apps.
Real-Time Analytics for Businesses: Insights into customer behavior, peak ordering times, and popular dishes can help you fine-tune your operations.
Why Invest in a Food Delivery App?
At the end of the day, investing in a robust online food ordering system is about meeting your customers where they are—on their phones. It’s an opportunity to grow your business, increase brand loyalty, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.
With the right food delivery application development partner, creating a successful app is more achievable than you might think. So, if you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time to jump in and explore what an app can do for your business.
