Read Part 1 HERE

Read Part 2 HERE

Read Part 3 HERE

NOTES: I literally put my whole heart and pussy into the previous part and it's just so THRILLING to see all the immense love and support!! 🥺❤️❤️❤️

I'm reeeally hoping y'all will like this part, too! Steven has an extremely special place in my heart, but this time we're shifting focus and giving our lovably murderous Moon Boy JAKE his time to shine!! \(^o^)/

Now as we all know, Jake unfortunately hasn't had a lot of screen time yet. I also watched Moon Knight for the third time and besides his confirmed appearance in the post-credits, there are some other more subtle scenes that I'm PRETTY sure Jake was in and it was a lot of fun for me to think so and obsess over!

But I digress! Anywhore, as I was saying, since Jake hasn't been on a lot the way I write him is PURELY made up. Of course, I try my best to capture the vibes I personally get from him, but until Season 2 drops (because I am NOT giving up on that) we don't know for certain what his personality's actually like (and I haven't read the comics please don't shoot me). It was a little challenging, but I really enjoyed getting to explore Jake and his perspective quite a bit! Though he ended up being a bit sadder than I intended CUZ THIS BOI JUST NEEDS AND DESERVES A WHOLE LOTTA LOVIN'❣️

Furthermore, I am not a Spanish speaker. Jake obviously is and I wanna stay as true as possible to the character by having him speak some (*cough* S E X Y *cough*) Spanish throughout, but if I made any mistakes at all then please kindly correct me as I mainly just use Google Translate and/or search up Spanish terms! For example, I was made aware that "ese" means "that" in Spanish. However, it's also Spanish slang for "dude", "man", etc. and I just find it fitting for Jake to call the boys that 😅

Also, Jake is...rough 😳 Don't worry, he loves and cares about you a LOT, but this is a fair WARNING in case you're not into that! And this part got pretty long, IDK I probs blacked out somewhere in the middle and this is le horny result~

Additionally, do y'all think the relationship between reader x Steven/the boys is going too fast? I really try to make it as natural as possible, but hey this is only fiction after all and I think Steven, for one, falls in love FAST since in the show he was already simping for Layla the first time they met 😂 But I can't judge Steven cuz I'd be the same if I ever met Oscar Isaac I mean, I'm already simping now but YOU GET IT

And a lil funny coincidoink, Like A Virgin came on the radio which I guess was your guys' universal push for me to continue this ASAP!

I truly am sorry for the wait!! Life is hard but I simp harder xD

Part 4: Gonna give you all my love, boy

Your chest rose and fell with each soft, blissful snore. Your face void of any burden, open and peaceful; plump lips parted slightly, looking so kissable. And that's exactly what Steven did, lonely lips descending to meet yours--his slumbering goddess.

An insatiable part of him longed for you to awaken, to spend more time fumbling around in the sheets until sunrise. But he knew, more than anyone else, that sleep was important. And he had no doubt that after all the...unique events that progressed your relationship, you deserved all the rest you can get.

Like the proper gentleman he was, he had cleaned you up before snuggling in bed together until dreams inevitably consumed you. And now here you were, using one of his arms that he can't feel anymore as your pillow and your bodies exchanging heat.

Then his mouth lowered, down your chin, to your throat, and to the delicate dip between your neck and shoulder. Planting butterfly kisses on your skin, lips tracing and eyes memorizing every perfect imperfection that dotted your body like constellations.

He noticed your breathing slowly growing uneven, your nipples salaciously peaking through your tank top. He knew he had to stop. He had to, but...

He lifted his free hand, inching towards your breasts before freezing, clenching into a tight fist that had his nails digging into his palm.

His cheeks bloomed red, pulling away and laying on his back as he stared up blankly at the ceiling. What the fuck was he doing?

"Jake, mate... I know you're there, might as well say something, yeah?" Steven whispered.

'Your senses are improving, ese.' Jake snickered. 'Is that why you stopped? No need to be shy, it's just the same as watching porn.'

Steven turned redder, clearing his throat. "Jake, you know you can meet Y/N too, right?"

Silence greeted him. Steven waited patiently, giving his alter all the time he needed. As rough around the edges as they may be, the boys all cared about each other and Steven knew that all Jake needed--deserved--was time. Hell, he and Marc didn't even know Jake existed for a while until he finally felt comfortable enough to reveal himself.

'Nah, ese.' Jake snorted, though his voice held a certain heaviness to it. 'She's all yours. You deserve her, Steven.'

"You're a part of me, Jake. You deserve her, too."

'Don't think your little cariño would appreciate it so much that you're wanting to hand her off to some other asshole.' Jake scoffed.

"I'm not 'handing her off', you git. I wanna...share." Steven mumbled the latter, gulping thickly.

'Steven...' Jake sighed, but Steven sensed intrigue in his tone. 'I don't know what the fuck you expect from this talk, ese. We only share the same body, that's it.'

"You're lying and you know it. Two months working with Y/N, I never said anything, but I knew you were always there. This damn body isn't the only thing we share, 'cause I know your feelings are just the same as mine."

It was then that you mewled softly, shifting and wrapping an arm around Steven's waist and cuddling close to his side with a content little smile on your lips as you slept.

Steven melted and he felt Jake do so, too.

"I'm not giving you an out, mate." Steven chuckled, pressing a tender kiss to the top of your head. "I'm absolutely buggered and so are you."

♡•••🌙•••♡

Steven, that absolute fucking puta.

As soon as Jake opened his eyes, dread filled him. Slowly turning his head and seeing your back to him, he knew Steven gave up control at some point and forced Jake to come out from the shadows.

He's tried multiple times to drag that pendejo back out, but Steven has obviously put up a block between them. Jake sighed frustratedly, his gaze lingering on you once more.

His heart ached. And fuck it hurts.

He wasn't Steven.

He did not deserve you.

He was dirty--rotten. He was only good for causing pain; even the ways in which he protected the boys were brutal, inhumane.

And he loved the chaos. Thrived in it.

When Steven met you for the first time, two months ago, that was what Jake intended to cause as well. Pain. Heartbreak.

Nothing more than another pretty notch to add to his belt.

But you...surprised him. You actually cared about Steven, gave him basic human respect and the time of day when no one else did and just fucking listened. Accepted him with open arms and such a kind, blinding smile. And pretty soon, Jake yearned for that, too. From you. Just you.

You didn't even know he existed--you didn't fucking care about him--and yet you smashed his glass heart into a thousand pieces, leaving him to find the sharpest shard and continuously stab himself as punishment.

That's what he deserved. Not you.

But oh... You looked so cold. Why were you so far away? What the hell were you thinking, pulling away from him?

Like a lion stalking its prey, Jake crawled towards you until he was on top of you. His dark eyes trailed down your sleeping form, so beautiful, so vulnerable. He didn't realize his hand was shaking slightly as it reached up to caress your face, breath hitching as his thumb glided across your bottom lip before slowly slipping it inside your mouth.

He watched, completely entranced, as your saliva coated his thumb and the way in which you squirmed so that you were now laying on your back, facing him. You were still asleep, though your brows creased together and your breathing grew shallow.

What were you dreaming about, Jake wondered? Were you dreaming about last night? Steven didn't feel him then, but Jake was there and it was the best torture he's ever endured.

He can make you feel good--better. And if there was any room in your heart (and legs) for him, he'd more than happily prove it to you.

But you were so kind, so sweet... Surely you'd accept him, too, right?

Surely you'd relieve him of his huge fucking hard-on, right?

He found himself lowering, lowering, lowering--then stopped just as his lips were about to meet yours.

No...

You didn't deserve this. You didn't deserve him.

As if he was just burnt, he sprang away from you and sat at the foot of the bed, keeping as much distance as possible. His head hung low, hands scrubbing his face in frustration before turning into self-loathing slaps.

He quickly got a hold of himself, lest you have a cruel awakening to him. Not Steven.

He looked over his shoulder. You really did look cold. He unchained the ankle restraint then stood up, walking over to your side and tucking the blanket over your unfairly scantily clad body.

God... How he wished he was the one keeping you warm.

He then shook his head, glancing towards the wall clock. 5:40 a.m.

He can sneak out and do some business for Khonshu. And by the time he returns, hopefully Steven does, too.

He has to.

♡•••🌙•••♡

You rolled over in bed, expecting to cuddle up next to something much more solid than a pillow. Your brows furrowed, a hand flying out to pat the bed and not finding what--who--it was seeking.

Your eyes snapped open and you bolted upright. You looked around in a frenzy, eyes still bleary with sleep and finding the apartment completely empty.

You then noticed the time on the wall clock. 7:20 a.m.

You were off work today, but you weren't sure if Steven had a shift. But even if he did, it was still too early for the museum to open.

So...

Where the hell was Steven?

He couldn't have ditched you...could he? No, that wasn't possible, this was his flat.

But wait... What if this was his subtle way of telling you to get lost? That he didn't want to see you still here when he comes back from wherever the fuck he went to?

You overstayed your welcome, didn't you? This was what it was about, isn't it? This was all your fault, right?

You were on the verge of hyperventilating when, at the corner of your eye, you spotted a bright yellow sticky note on top of the books on the bedside table. You quickly ripped it off, reading the messy, rushed handwriting.

Don't know when I'll be back. Just relax. Food for you is in the kitchen, amor.

You blinked away tears you didn't realize were forming once, twice, then bursted into laughter.

"Fuck, seriously, what is wrong with me?" You berated yourself, still laughing.

This was Steven. Of course he would never abandon you, and you would never abandon him.

He proved it to you, after all. The memories of last night terrorizing your brain once more, making you blush like a virgin (which you were--for now).

You wanted to prove yourself to him, too. And you're sure you'll think of something, but at the moment you became distracted as your eyes landed on Steven's black sweatshirt sprawled carelessly across the floor.

You put on your glasses then hopped off of the bed and picked up the sweatshirt, tugging it on and letting out a giggle as it drooped over your thighs, turning the sleeves into little hand mittens and your body and heart just feeling so warm.

You ambled over to the kitchen, seeing a plate of slightly burnt toast and scrambled eggs clumsily covered in plastic wrap on the small dining table. You chuckled softly, taking the plastic off before sitting down and having breakfast.

As you chewed, once again your brain couldn't help but wander off.

It was only a little thing. Such a stupid thing, really. But still, it just would not stop nagging you.

Amor. It was French for 'love'.

But... Steven didn't spell it with a U. It was supposed to be amour.

Amor, no U, was the Spanish spelling. And Steven, who seemed fluent in French, should know that.

But people make mistakes, and who were you to judge such a minuscule, silly mistake?

Before you could entertain yourself by ruminating over such nonsense some more, your ears perked up when you heard the lock click and the door opening and shutting close. You kept quiet, watching as Steven slowly trudged in.

He was wearing a flat cap and a trench coat, and from your spot in the kitchen he hasn't noticed you yet. But he looked...different.

You couldn't quite explain it, but he seemed...tense. On edge. An air of agitation surrounding him, stiff in his movements yet carrying a sense of confidence at the same time.

Wild.

You then swallowed, standing up from your chair and silently making your way over to Steven with his back turned to you as he busied himself with stripping off his coat and hanging it on the coat rack.

You wrapped your arms around his waist, feeling him jolt. But before he could react, you spoke up.

"I missed you..." You murmured, embracing him more tightly as you pressed your cheek to his back. "Don't do that again, please. At least wake me up if you're leaving."

Steven didn't say anything, completely rigid and gloved hands balled into tight fists.

Then it clicked.

"You're not Steven...are you?"

His shoulders jerked, and you pulled your face away to look up at him. But you never removed your arms, keeping them in place around his waist.

Then his shoulders drooped, hearing him take a sharp intake of breath before ever so slowly turning his head over his shoulder.

"Caught red-handed." His lips curled up into a smirk, dark eyes gleaming down at you. "You're much more observant than I thought, princesa."

Your breath hitched, mouth agape and eyes blown wide as you gawked at him. You didn't know what to feel. Well, there was definitely excitement, but you weren't sure if it was appropriate for you to feel such a way.

Regardless, you were glad Steven was open and honest with you from the get-go. You knew, at some point, it was inevitable that you'd meet the two other men he's mentioned. So, you weren't too taken aback to be experiencing this right now.

"Judging from your accent and what you called me just now... You must be Jake?" You queried, cocking your head to the side as you stared up at him. Funny, he shared the exact same body as Steven, but he was still...different. The way he held himself, the little quirk to his lips, the look in his eyes--it was all very distinct.

"Don't see why you gotta keep asking me questions, princesa. Seems like ya got it all figured out." Jake scoffed, amusement in his tone.

"Well... You certainly made an...impression when you asked me out." You spoke slowly, carefully, as if not daring to spook some wild animal. You wanted Jake to feel safe, welcomed; because it felt like Jake hasn't at all expected to be here right now, but you wanted to let him know that you didn't mind him. You were happy to be meeting him.

But Jake took it the wrong way. He read your body language as aloof, like you were just trying to be polite. And why wouldn't you be? You were naturally kind, but he knew better.

He was absolutely not supposed to be here. He was never supposed to meet you, never planned to. After all, you preferred Steven.

...Didn't you?

His jaw ticked, his hands untangling your arms around his waist before he spun on his heel to fully face you. You gasped as he did, paling at the sight of blood on his shirt.

"What happened?!" You panicked, your hands immediately touching his body, eyes frantically searching for any injuries. "Did someone hurt you?! Oh my god, who did this to you?!"

"It's not my blood."

You froze, a chill coursing through your veins. Slowly, your head tilted up, meeting his gaze. It was much darker than before, flecks of savagery brewing within. And yet, you also saw...loneliness.

Longing.

"Are you scared, Y/N?"

You held your breath, his voice cracking as he uttered your name for the first time. It was a simple question that had a painfully simple answer.

"I am."

Jake shut his eyes, inhaling deeply and letting it out in a wavering breath.

He fucking knew it.

"Jake..." His eyes snapped open at your voice, so soft, so unexpectedly calm. "Will you...hurt me?"

"I would never." He whispered--promised--holding your gaze sincerely. "I couldn't."

"I'm scared of the...things you can do, Jake." You admitted, noticing his Adam's apple bob as he gulped. His gaze fell to the floor, but you reached up, gently cupping the side of his face. "But...I'm not scared of you."

Jake met your eyes once more, his hardened expression softening as he sighed, nuzzling into your comforting hand. For the first time in a long time, he felt...safe. He was not one of Khonshu's pawns, he was not Steven or Marc's ruthless protector, he was simply...

Jake Lockley.

"I'm sorry..." He murmured, trembling hand reaching out and caressing your cheek; tenderly, fondly, lovingly. "I...was never supposed to meet you. I was fine watching you quietly. But last night, Steven said he wanted us to meet. For me to be a...part of what you have with him."

A deafening silence rang in your ears. Jake watched you with those intense, soulful eyes, brows furrowed and jaw clenched as he waited with bated breath for your reaction. Any reaction.

"Jake..." You have no idea how you even managed to speak, your volatile heartbeat replacing the silence. "Take a shower first, we'll talk after."

♡•••🌙•••♡

Water dripped from Jake's hair, his hands pressed against the wall with his head tilted down as he watched the pristine white tiles of the shower's floor stain red.

This was an all too familiar situation for him. Washing off blood that didn't belong to him, his body getting cleaned though never his damned soul. But it never bothered him before...until now.

He knew there was a chance you'd be awake when he returned, but he figured that he can just pretend to be Steven at least until that idiot takes control of the body again. Jake's done it convincingly enough a few times before back when Steven and Marc were still unaware of his existence, acting as one of them whenever something triggered them and he suddenly had to front.

But when you hugged him, he just...froze. It felt as if he was struck by lightning because this was real--you were real. Your heart-wrenching kindness and beauty were all directed towards him, and he was no longer just a pathetic fly on the wall through Steven's eyes.

But how could he be so fucking dumb? He never should've shown himself, he should've stayed away from the apartment even if it took all day and just let Steven deal with the consequences. And yet...he came back.

Because, the absolute truth is, he wanted to meet you. At his very core, he was a selfish bastard who wanted to be with you, no matter the punishment inflicted on him--he inflicts on himself.

But was he really being selfish?

As drastically different as they were, Steven and Marc managed to control their own separate lives. Steven had his job that he despised, but also the comfort of regularly getting a paycheck that provided for his daily needs. Marc was Khonshu's (main) Avatar and as draining as it was, he could still unwind after a long day with a pack of beer and a Chicago Cubs game playing on TV.

And then, of course, there were Moon Knight and Mr. Knight that ultimately tied them together.

But what about Jake? Was he nothing more than a punching bag for Marc and Steven, only seizing command and handling whatever shitshow they got themselves into that they were too weak to finish?

Jake knew that was his job--his purpose. And honestly, it was okay. He cared about the boys, and keeping them safe meant the same for him as well.

...Until you came along. And for the first fucking time, he actually wanted something. Yearned for someone. Just for himself, and not because of anyone else's expectations or demands of him.

He didn't realize it until you came crashing into Steven's--and his--life like some fucking meteorite, but he was empty. And on the extremely rare occasions that Jake was entitled to the body all for himself, he grew tired of being tired from aimlessly hopping bar to bar. Nearly wiping all his fucking memories out with heavy drinks and the need--the desperation--to forget about the problems he deliberately ignores, hides, even for one single measly night through fucking some random stranger he didn't and won't ever care about.

But you weren't a stranger, that was perfectly clear. Days bled into weeks, and weeks into months; and here you were now, looking all cute--tempting--wearing Steven's sweatshirt, eating breakfast in his home, as his girlfriend.

Steven's girlfriend. Not Jake's girlfriend.

"Jake, you know you can meet Y/N too, right?"

Steven's words from last night echoed in Jake's head, taunting him. And the ridiculous proposition that followed afterwards, of the two of them sharing you.

"You're a part of me, Jake. You deserve her, too."

And maybe, just maybe...Steven's right.

Maybe Jake did deserve you.

But did you deserve him?

"What's got you looking all emo?" Jake's head abruptly whipped around, seeing you with one hand holding the shower curtain open while the other clutched onto a towel covering your body.

Your naked body.

Jake's mouth went dry, completely paralyzed. All he could do was let his eyes scan you from head to toe, undressing you in his mind. He's already seen you last night and he thought he'd be fine just basking you in from Steven's point of view, but oh...he thought dead wrong.

Because now he really wanted to touch you. Feel you. Make you come undone, all because of him. All for him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" His question came out sharper than he intended it to, eyes narrowing as he watched your gaze drop, shifting on your feet uncertainly along with the tantalizing way you bit your lip.

You seemed to be engaging in a silent war with yourself before you shook your head, straightening up as you dared to meet his eyes and slowly dropped the towel to the floor.

"I told Steven this before, but I prefer to get things over with." You smiled a bit sheepishly, stepping into the shower; the warm drizzle of water helped to thaw the ice cold sensation anxiety gripped you with. "I'm a very impatient woman, Mr. Lockley."

"And you think jumping into the shower completely naked with a man you barely know is the answer to your impatience, señorita?" Jake arched a brow, an amused smirk playing on his lips.

"Well, it's not like I can get into the shower with clothes on, right? That's just fucking stupid." You scoffed, playfully rolling your eyes. "Besides... It's because I want to get to know you that I'm here."

"This is a dangerous game you're playing, princesa." Jake murmured, his smirk instantly vanishing; that furrowed brows, clenched jaw sternness once more overtaking his striking features as he regarded you. "I'm not your sweet, sensitive little boyfriend. I'm not Steven." He practically hissed out the name, though there was more sadness to it than venom.

"This isn't a game to me, Jake." You stated firmly, standing your ground as you held your chin high and levelled your gaze with his. "None of this is. I take Steven very seriously--I take our relationship very seriously." You paused, taking a deep, shaky breath. "And I know, maybe I'm moving too fast, and I totally understand your doubts about this--about me. But I'm not a fucking dumbass. I know you're not Steven and I like you, anyway."

Jake was rarely speechless, but even as his mouth parted to say something--anything--nothing came out. He felt something fall down his cheek, and he wasn't too sure if it was water or the strange liquid that suddenly made his vision all blurry.

But he didn't have much time to ponder on it when your hand gently pressed against his cheek, your eyes kind and full of adoration, the same adoration you always bless Steven with and something Jake believed was only a far-off miracle for him.

"Y/N..." He choked out, glossy dark eyes intently set on you. "I'm a monster."

"You're not a monster, Jake." You were quick to counter, taking a step closer, now being chest to chest with Jake. "You're a part of Steven, and anything--anyone--that's a part of him is beautiful. And you sure as hell deserve to live your own life, too. And, well, if you'll have me..." You blushed, looking down. "...I would really, really like to get to know you better, Jake Lockley."

Silence smothered you, wrapping its invisible claws around your neck, and you now fully understood what people meant when they say something takes forever. You thought it would be easier and much less frightening if the ground actually opened up and swallowed you whole, but Jake finally put you out of your misery, his hand turning off the shower and a low chuckle bubbling out of him.

"Well... Damn." He smirked, cocking his head down at you, though his smug demeanour couldn't mask the rosiness that dusted his cheeks. "You really do like me and Steven, huh, querida? Or maybe it's just your boobs up against me that's convincing me."

"Well, if it's helping you to believe me, then I'm not complaining." You giggled, wrapping your arms around his neck, pushing your breasts against him. Both of your breaths stuttered at the close, intimate contact, and you whimpered as his hands landed on your hips, callused fingers squeezing your soft flesh.

"Dios mío..." He growled lowly, his hands slowly, reverently travelling up the curves of your body, leaving a burning wake, before dipping once more and giving your ass a hard smack.

"Ah..!" You gasped, lurching forward, your face bumping against his solid chest. You felt his chest vibrate as a deep laugh rumbled out of him, one hand fisting your hair and pulling your head back.

"I ain't lying when I said I'm not your sweet, sensitive boyfriend." There was mania in his eyes, baring shiny white teeth as he grinned widely at you; like a shark who's smelled blood--your blood--from a mile away, he's set his target and can't be satisfied by anything, anyone else. "Then again, if you could see Steven's thoughts like I can, 'sweet and sensitive' aren't completely accurate for him."

You gulped, but not from fear. You squeezed your thighs together, pupils dilating as you stared up at Jake. "I-I don't mind if you or Steven aren't sweet and sensitive. I wanna be treated nice, but there are plenty of ways 'nice' can be translated to..." You placed a hand on his abs, lips parting as you traced along his taut muscles, looking like some fucking Greek sculpture--a god--with the way his wet body shimmered a divine bronze. "Don't you think so...Papi?"

With no warning, you felt the air get knocked out of you as his lips collided with yours, attacking you; tongues intertwining with a clash of teeth, the moist smack of your lips harmonizing with the vulgar moans Jake drew out of you.

You felt Jake's neediness, the desperation underlying his roughness--as if this was not just the first, but the only time he'd get to kiss you and have you for himself.

As if you'd ever allow for this to be the only time.

Your hands fell to his shoulders, nails breaking his skin and marking him with crescent indents. He groaned as you did, kissing you with even more fervour, fiery passion never ceasing as you both chased after that hellish ecstasy; seizing, bruising, suffocating you.

More, more, more. Giving and taking, taking, taking.

You just could never have enough, clueless as to where you started and Jake ended, Jake's tongue practically down your throat now. You know you needed air, your eyes rolling to the back of your head, but your body refused.

If this was how you died, then you'd die an elated woman.

But Jake suddenly pulled away from you, making you whine loudly. Your hands pawed at his chest, tears springing to your eyes and your ears couldn't even register the pitiful pleas that tumbled out of your mouth for more, more, more.

"You're such a fucking slut, aren't you, mi amor?" Jake snickered, one hand wrapping around your neck, thumb stroking the column of your throat, squeezing just enough to feel as if your head was floating. "Steven always saw you as this pure, innocent angel. But you're not, aren't you? You wanna be corrupted, don't you? You wanna be my pretty little devil, slut?"

"I'll be anything for you, Papi." You replied breathlessly, tears staining your scarlet cheeks. "Just be my everything."

"I'll be whatever--do whatever--for you, mi vida." His voice was low, barely above a whisper, but you heard him loud and clear, his earnesty and sweetness cloying. His other hand caressed your face before he leaned down, his tongue licking away your salty tears, a reprieve from the rapturous flames that engulfed him. "Now... What do you want Papi to do?" He purred, smirking wolfishly down at you. "You want me to fuck you? Spread your little virgin pussy, fill you up with my cock? Wanna see how much you can take, cariño. Take all my cum, don't waste a single fucking drop."

As tempting as his filthy words were, as much as you wanted to, you remembered how Steven refused to have sex with you last night. Of his promise that he'll make love to you another time, when he was better prepared with condoms. And fuck, you wanted him--them--so badly. Steven and Jake. But you respected Steven and his decision, and you did also want for your lovemaking to be special.

"Can I taste your cock, Papi?" You asked, biting your lip as you met Jake's gaze shyly. You felt like a mouse and he was the lion, yet you held the power in whatever was going to happen. "I-I promise I'll take it all... Take all your cum, like a good girl."

Jake knew that you chose not to have sex with him out of respect for Steven, and that only made him love you more. He felt a pang in his heart and a smile tugged up the corners of his lips, eyes locking with yours, full of tenderness and affection.

Right then and there, he knew that you were "the one". For him and Steven.

"Get on your knees like a good fucking girl, then." He breathed, and you didn't hesitate as you instantly dropped to your knees, breasts jiggling slightly as you did. Your eyes widened as his cock stood proudly, mere inches away from your face.

"I...I'm sorry if I'm...bad." Your voice came out as a squeak, mentally slapping yourself before clearing your throat. "I-I've never done this before!"

"You better have not or else I'll hunt down and kill all the fuckers you've ever been with." He barked out a laugh, but his eyes were dark and serious.

Murder was not something Jake Lockley ever joked about, after all.

Strangely enough, you found his possessiveness...sexy. Which only meant that Jake was already corrupting you.

But was that really such a bad thing?

You shook your head, focusing on the cock--erm, task--at hand. Your hand wrapped around his shaft, hearing Jake breathe sharply through his nose as you did. You licked your lips as you watched the pre-cum drip out of the tip, so curious, so transfixed like a moth to a flame.

Your tongue then darted out, experimentally licking the milky fluid. Jake threw his head back with a guttural groan; you've barely even started, and it made you fucking giddy that he reacted like this.

"Jake..." You murmured, giggling softly. You peered up at him through your long lashes, flashing him a dazzling smile. "You're so beautiful, Jake."

"That ain't something you should call a man, mi vida." Jake scoffed, but the crimson tint on his cheeks have spread like wildfire to the tips of his ears and neck. "Especially not when you're the beautiful one."

"Going soft on me now, Jakey?" You teased lightheartedly, slowly beginning to stroke his length.

Jake's breath hitched, brows furrowing as he watched you intently, attentively. "You really are a little devil, Y/N." He chuckled deeply, and you knew that meant trouble. "You think I'm going soft? Looks like you really have a lot you need to know about me."

Like before, his hand fisted your hair, pulling your head back and making you look up at him. "Open up, slut." And you did, opening your mouth and sticking your tongue out. You flinched slightly as his cock hit your tongue, his other hand grabbing his member and moving it around on your tongue, painting it white.

"Now you're gonna be a good cocksucker, got it?" He grinned down devilishly at you, eyes twinkling with sheer, wicked glee. "You're gonna make Papi cum, like the good whore that you are."

You nodded hastily, eagerly. And you just couldn't fucking take it anymore, jostling forward and burying his cock in your wet, hot mouth.

"That's. Fucking. It." Jake hissed, his grip on your hair tightening ever so slightly. Slowly, you began to bob your head, your mouth accommodating his size. You briefly wondered how anyone could ever even compare this to a banana or a popsicle stick; it was much bigger and your jaw started to hurt, which Jake quickly noticed as you tensed.

"Hey, relax." He cooed, reaching down to tenderly wipe away the tears you didn't realize were flowing down your cheeks. "Easy, Y/N. Relax your mouth, loosen up your throat... Fuck, yeah, that's it. Keep going, hermosa."

With newfound confidence and assurance, you gradually increased your pace. You hollowed your cheeks, your tongue sliding along the underside of his cock with each rhythmic bop of your head. Up, down, up, down--Jake's sinful groans bouncing off the walls of the bathroom, never breaking eye contact as you burned all of him into memory.

Then your surprised gasp was muffled as his foot pressed against your clit, only offering you a cocky smirk in return.

He began to move his foot, his toes budging your clit and stroking along your pussy. You moaned around his cock, grinding against his foot for more friction. Then his other hand grabbed onto your hair, both of his hands now pushing and pulling your head up, down, up, down--drool spilling down the sides of your mouth, resisting the urge to gag as the tip of Jake's cock pounded your throat, your hands floundering to his thighs as you clung on for dear life.

"Fuck, look at you... Una putita tan bonita solo para mí." He laughed, the thrusts of his hips growing fiercer, more rabid as he mercilessly fucked your throat. "Wanna taste me, mi vida? Think you've earned it?"

All you could do was nod, nod, nod--looking up at him pleadingly as you continued to desperately grind yourself against his foot, your own orgasm fast approaching.

Jake's jeering laughter soon stuttered into a heavy, gasping moan; his eyes squeezing shut as his head fell back, hitting the wall. You felt his cock twitch, releasing his seed, shooting down your throat and his balls slamming against your chin.

Your own release coated Jake's foot, your entire body shuddering from the intensity of it all and coughing as Jake finally withdrew his cock out of your mouth. But you didn't have time to revel in the afterglow as Jake's hand wrapped around your neck once more, dragging you up and crashing his lips with yours. You swapped spit and cum, but neither of you cared; the two of you groping, squeezing, clinging onto each other any which way your needy hands could fumble.

You didn't keep track anymore of who pulled away first, laughter ringing in your ears as you both grinned at each other; spent, happy.

The dawn of something new, exciting, promising shining between the two of you.

Wordlessly, Jake turned on the shower again. Then he grabbed the soap, his hands gliding along your smooth skin, his lips attaching to the crook of your neck where he could see the faint pinpricks of his handprint slowly materializing.

"Did I hurt you, mi vida?" As rough of a lover as Jake was, none of his pleasure mattered if you didn't enjoy yourself.

"A little bit." You admitted, wrapping your arms around his neck and kissing the top of his head. "But it's okay. I...liked it." You blushed furiously.

"Fuck..." He grumbled, pulling away and looking very much like a kicked puppy, something that you thought only Steven was a pro at. "As cute as you are blushing like that, princesa, I'm so fucking sorry. I know I should know when to stop, when to be gentle...but those are not really what I'm good at." His eyes drifted down, and you can tell that he had a lot more to say. A lot more to regret. "I'm sorry, Y/N."

"I forgive you, Jake. Now please... Stop beating yourself up, okay?" You cupped his face, pecking his nose and meeting his gaze. "I'm not lying when I said I liked it, but don't blame yourself too much. I also should've done something, spoken up if it was too painful for me." Your fingers ran through his hair, smiling softly, lovingly at him. "All of this is new for me--for us. But it's okay, 'cause we can learn together, yeah? And if you'd like, we can come up with a safe word if things get too rough."

Jake hesitated, wondering if you were really telling the truth and not just trying to comfort him. But one look at your sweet, loving smile was more than enough for his worries and doubts to fade away, his own smile gracing his lips and his hands holding your own that were so gently, kindly cupping his face.

"I think that would be great. Any idea what the safe word should be?"

"I was thinking 'Khonshu'." Your answer made Jake snort before he bursted into laughter, you joining shortly after.

"Mi vida, if you say that bastardo's name while we're fucking, you really are gonna make me go soft." He chuckled, pinching your cheek and kissing your forehead.

"Fine, fine! Clearly coming up with a safe word is what I'm not good at. Let's figure it out together." You playfully rolled your eyes, giggling and kissing his cheek. "Anyway, I'll head out first. But don't take too long or else I'll jump in the shower with you again and for the sake of Steven's water expenses, you do not want that happening."

"On one condition, señorita. You have to wear my clothes when you get out, not Steven's." He hummed to which you laughed and nodded, but just as you were about to step out of the shower, Jake suddenly grabbed your wrist and pulled you back to his chest.

He leaned down to your ear, voice a low purr as he spoke; like it was a secret, a sacred oath between only the two of you.

"El amor de mi vida, mi salvavidas... Nunca te dejaré ir."

Your lips curled up into a smile, your heart swelling achingly within your chest. You turned around and leaned up on your tiptoes, your lips melting perfectly together with Jake's, becoming one.

"I love you, Jake Lockley." You whispered, sealing your oath. "Now... Don't keep me waiting. You know I'm an impatient woman."

Jake watched with a dumb, lovestruck grin as you pulled away giggling, finally stepping out of the shower and closing the bathroom door behind you. And as soon as you were gone, Jake piped up to the other occupant in the bathroom.

"Steven, ese... I know you're there, might as well say something, huh?"

'Bloody HELL, mate...' Steven's words stumbled out in a rushed, breathless breath. 'That was MENTAL.'

"You're welcome for the free show, ese." Jake chuckled, standing under the spray of the shower as he washed himself off.

Although Jake couldn't see Steven, he knew that the poor, flustered English man was having a damn heart attack at this very moment.

'That was...that was...' Steven was completely at a loss for words, making Jake smirk.

"The hottest fucking thing you've ever seen? Yeah, I know. Y/N's our sexy girlfriend, after all." Jake turned off the shower, hopping out and drying himself off with a towel. "You're right, by the way. We're both absolutely fucked."

'I'm just glad it all worked out, mate.' Steven replied, relief and happiness flooding his voice. 'You deserve her. WE deserve her. It's just...' He trailed off, sighing deeply. 'Now that I think about it, I'm worried about Marc.'

"Fuck Marc." Jake snapped, his eyes settling on the mirror, Steven's reflection staring back at him with an anxious crease between his brows and lips downturned. "We deserve to live our own lives, too, Steven. That cabrón's just gonna have to deal with it."

And deal with it, Marc will. But...

You'll have to deal with Marc, too.

hiii :3 hope it is okay that im doing an ask 😰😰

I hope that you’ve been doing well this year! I love your writing so much! I have never sent you an ask before so I dont know how to write it….

This new chapter is so amazing as usual! I love your descriptions and just…everything that you write is so unique to my brain I’m unsure on how to praise it correctly.

These are my favourite bits as of now:

Rodimus grabbed his waist with unexpected speed and tried to pull him sideways. "My... hrgh, you're heavier than you look! My turn on top.”

———————

The disk data pads joke coming full circle, brilliant.

———————

his side, his flame-shaped chest. Soundwave touched Rodimus's face with his fingers. A very slow, soft touch.

Rodimus kissed his fingertips as they passed his lips. They were thin and light. Hidden in the single joint of each was a ring of blue biolights.

"Tell me someday," said Rodimus quietly.

"Affirmative." Soundwave held his fingers against Rodimus's face. Rodimus nuzzled them.

———————

Its absence pressed cold on Soundwave's plating. He leaned forward and said softly, "Preferred: true cheerfulness.

Preferred: Rodimus, happy."

Rodimus looked up at him. His eyes flashed. His field seeped out with surprise and a little pain.

Soundwave wanted nothing more than to wrap his tentacles around Rodimus, feel his sparkpulse, pulse something in return that would bring that smile back. He wondered if Rodimus had agreed to ignite the crystal for the portal only, or if he had another reason, a deeper reason-

———————

But another thing I’ve found interesting throughout the whole fic is obviously drift and rodimus’s ex-situationship i guess you could say. And this bit:

"Rodimus! Did you get-" Drift stopped short before their table. "Oh my god." He looked back and forth between Rodimus and Soundwave. "That aura." Rodimus's face fell.

He yanked his field in. Soundwave held perfectly still, uncertain what was happening. Drift gave Rodimus a faint look of horror. "Don't tell me it was with him.

"Okay. It wasn't with him," said Rodimus, a warning tone in his voice. "And since it wasn't, there's no reason to say anything about it to anyone."

—broke me omg. I was also wondering, since a few of my friends also read this, if there was a previous fic written of the grey/greying years with ratchet, rodimus and drift? I have seen you talk about it and it seems very:

😰🫣🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😳😭❤️💔🖤❤️‍🩹.

And if there is a previous fic about it i would love to read it, but obviously i am very content with everything you have written!!!

i dont know how to end asks but i am finished! hope you are doing well :DD

Alright it's been about 5 days since Ch 46 was uploaded so hopefully anyone who was trying to avoid spoilers has gotten to read it. I've been saving this ask til now for that reason.

Thanks so much for the kind message :D It's always fun to see which parts people liked.

>The disk data pads joke coming full circle, brilliant. heheHEHE. there are quite a few circles in this fic. glad you enjoyed :D

>if there was a previous fic written of the grey/greying years with ratchet, rodimus and drift? no, no previous fic. the characters are referencing the event, just as they've referenced the Scavengers or TCs, etc etc. Dratchet isn't a pairing I'm into, so I'm unlikely to explore the gray years in a fic. But I'll never say never. Obviously there's interest in this, and I think it could be a very powerful story (although devastating for Rodimus).

Thank you again for the kind ask! Hope you are doing well, too :)

[iceicewifey]

shamelessly copied Sinner /j /lh and did one of those Araki style character sheets for Shay to see if i could share her info easier and I'll say it worked 😳

had to redo the template because I'm stupid and the layout kind of confused me plus I'll never pass up an opportunity to make my own version of whatever thing fjdnfjdgb but I hope it makes sense. alot of the info can be found in her mini bio, but it was still fun to fill this out. plain text under the cut because it's alot to read. thanks again to sinner for both posting theirs and providing the original template ♡

editing because this is so outdated already 😭

Wants to eventually return to Miami. Wants to build her own custom Harley, right down to the paint job. Wants “a buncha badass lookin’ tats” to cover her more prominent body scars.

Fears

Drowning, being strangled, seeing more of her friends die in front of her, upsetting DIO and having to face his wrath.

Used to act out rudely for attention from a bad home life but grew out of that phase. Rarely rude to strangers without reason nowadays. Insanely devoted to friends and loved ones, likes going the extra mile to show that she loves and cares for them. Very outgoing, a bubbly ‘people person’ and a bit of a ‘party girl‘. She’s typically laid back and enjoys being surrounded by those she loves. ‘Bitchiness’ is a defense mechanism stemming from trauma; “If I don‘t care, I can’t get hurt.” She’s a spitfire with a feisty side and a terrible temper, never one to back down from a fight and will start one if she’s worked up.

Hi! Fellow AuDHD person here. I'm new to your page, and I'm gonna do my best to stick around! I would love to know a bit more about you.

What's your favourite animal, and why?

Do you have a favourite colour?

What are your hobbies?

What are your current special interests and hyperfixations?

Also, I hope you have a wonderful day/night (depending on what time it is for you)

Hello! Nice to meet you! Welcome to my blog :) I hope you have a fun time here!

I go on a rant about how cool corvids are so this post is kind of long. Answers under the cut so I don’t take up everyone’s dashboards 😳😂

My favorite animals are corvids! Which is technically a family of animals, not one specific animal, but I figure it’s close enough, and also I can’t pick. I love all of them so much! Crows, ravens, magpies, jays, treepies, choughs, nutcrackers, and jackdaws my beloveds.

I love how smart, clever, and inventive they are, how much they love and care about their families and friends, and how they have so much personality! They hold grudges and can recognize people they’ve had problems with and get revenge, and tell their friends to get revenge, too. I like that some *can* speak human languages, but often choose not to. Iconic. And they live on every continent except Antarctica!

And I love how much folklore there is about them! Some indigenous peoples believed a raven created the earth, and some Celtic peoples believed they were messengers of the gods.

I also like how they look. There’s so much variety among the corvidae family! On a related note, treepies are underrated and more people need to love them. Everyone in their right minds love crows, ravens, and jays, but I feel like most people don’t really know what treepies are. Like, look at this! It’s a rufous treepie! It’s baby and I love it.

My favorite color is periwinkle! Well, this very specific shade of periwinkle:

I also love seafoam green and *almost* all shades of yellow.

I have 8 hobbies! I like to write fan fiction, read, paint, do digital art, make memes, cook, play video games, and sew. I don’t post much art because 99% of it’s art of my OCs.

Speaking of, my main special interest is one of the universe my OCs live in. I don’t talk much about my OCs because I’m planning on publishing their books, and I don’t want my tumblr-self to be attached to my work-self. People at work think I’m cool and I don’t want them to find out otherwise /j

Every time I see anything interesting, I think, “which of my characters would do that? Yeah, definitely XYZ.” I have 7 different fantasy worlds that I spend most of my time in, not including any tLoZ universes.

Bringing us to my other, slightly less intense special interest! The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! When I’m not thinking of my OCs and their universes, I’m usually thinking of BotW and related games, such as Age of Calamity.

Thank you for all the questions! I hope you have a good day/night, too! 💕😁

[bellysoupset]

OKAY. Hi. Im finally free for long long enough to come chat.

I have so much stuff to say I literally went through your blog down to my ask where you said COME BACK HERE (lmaoo) and made a whole list in my notes app so that i don’t forget anything

(dw im gonna send a bunch of separate asks so that it doesn’t clog up your whole dash)

first of all, sounds like we have the same handwriting??? i was thinking oh mines closest to leo + bella and then i read the tags and we have the exact same traits?? wtf. so cool. also jon and luke having rich kid handwriting is so funny.

oohhh and bella??? 😳😳😳 like i KNOW (i think) she isn’t pregnant because you’ve said that’s not a plot you want to pursue rn. but alsoo what the hell. even if she isn’t, i can’t wait to read about her and luke talking about it.

(speaking of bell and luke talking, i’ve been LOVING the little snippets of them just hanging out and vibing) (bella crying for leo was so insanely sweet btw, she’s such a sweetheart) (also scary) (hot) (i’m getting off track)

loved the picking up the car fic so much!! jon and luke are soooo sibling coded it’s insane. also luke revving the car and zooming past them was so hot. and jonah’s “crush them”?? they’re BROTHERS!!!! i love reading stories of your characters just being idiots together <3

and bella going into that shop looking all sweet just to Destroy that old man was sooo funny. she’s so hot?? 🍄

okayy so 1. forgot to mention in the last ask : luke is so stupidly protective of bella lmfao. him being mad at leo for just Being There was so funny 2. jon being the baby of the group is one of my favourite things about him <3 he’s baby 🩷 3. the boxing class fic is soo cool. i love jonah and bella’s interactions!! need to see more of them together! they’re so perfectly bitchy with each other. also did i ask for something similar AGES ago or did i just think about it and forget to actually say anything? 4. jonah and leo’s reunion was soooo cute!!!i adore clingy jonah. (speaking of, i was re reading the fic where jonah gets sick at a medical convention with wendy and gets back home and is all bossy about cuddling leo, and it’s SO. CUTE.) and then finally leo getting sick was **chefs kiss** (ps. the supporting your partners forehead while they puke thing is so hot. who said that.) and jonah!! missing rubbing leo’s back as he throws up!! Sap. Peak simp behaviour fr. Didn’t realise there was competition to Luke for the Pathetic Simp title. 🍄

Hi there 🍄!!! How are you? Missing you loads, I hope life is treating you kindly, even if busy!

God, my handwriting is a mess, I was always the kid who showed up to class with one (1) singular black pen and no patience. Do you also do the Leo thing of saving up pages?

Bell definitely wasn't pregnant, but it was a fun time getting asks begging her not to be 😭😭 And yeah, she loves her little found family so much!! All of them, they're her home and she's a tough cookie, but she hates to see them hurting!

Luke is Golden Retriever coded in every sense of the word. Friendly and goofy and loud, but super protective.

I really do need to write more of the Bitchy Group, which in my head is Jon, Wen, Bell and now... Max. For clarification, Leo is hella bitchy but to me he's just the bitchy part of the trio that is Luke/Vin/Leo 🙈 Does this make any sense?

I'm looking forward to introducing Max to the group and what new units mind come up

Now. Men were made to do two things: simp and be queasy. As far as I was told 😎

masterlist of predictions for s3 of the bear!

this is my compilation of predications for what i hope will happen in s3 of The Bear. Probably most of these won't happen but i did something along of these lines for Bridgerton and it was fun so !! just don't take them too seriously okay lol

• Marcus's mom funeral won't be the only one. i think Donna's too will be just as unexpected and tragic.

• probably unlikely but Syd finds a place sooo close to Carmy's they're basically neighbours. Like i so hope we could have a dr house similar scene where they can literally see each other from the window/balcony arghhh

• Syd asks Marcus but not Carmy for help to move out and carmy gets SO UPSET. like puppy eyes kind of upset.

• i physically need a scene of syd's female gaze towards Carmy at least once or I'm gonna riot. gimme a bridgerton main female character type of thing where Carmy is all sweaty or wet or some type of shit I BEG YOU

• a Caps (thats their name right?) baseball play, maybe? i feel like it's something that connects the entire staff, they talked about them in both seasons so why not see them in s3

• a full blown otherwise unexplicable scene of jealousy of Carmy towards Syd. Her getting pouched/flirted with right in front of his eyes and him being like woah woah woah what's going on and RUNNING to take his pepto bismol LOL

• Carmy FUMBLING the meeting with Syd's father. being the weird ass he is and her father all 😬😀🤨 like what is going on with this guy (idk man he's autistic probably)

• Claire getting her closure, and actually standing her ground/showing more of her humanity rather than her just being a manic pixie girlie

• Richie moving on from Tiff, maybe with the girl of the forks episode?? she was rlly nice

• Marcus and Luca's reunion!! they were so cute !! and also Luca having an undeniable beef with carmy, maybe exacerbated by him getting alomg with syd? 😳👀

• I hope Syd and Carmy fight so hard they just can't help but let the truth slip. that being they either confess their feelings or straight up angry making out in secret cause why the fuck not EVEN BETTER IF IN THE LOCK IN FRIDGE

• tina confronting syd about her feelings for carmy cause that woman has EYES

• bonus: richie and fak fuck each other brains cause they're so silly and cute together and i've read a couple of fics written so well they might as well become canon lol

[cyberdragoninfinity]

judai for the ask game? (if it isn't too late)

NEVER TOO LATE i love chattering about yugioh guys....judaijaden my friend my beloved pal

favorite thing about them: wwaughhh judai/jaden is such a good character and i adore his character arc..... i love that he effectively has to learn how to have fun with dueling again (and thats its the King of Games himself who helps remind him of that!), and that you don't have to sacrifice your passion for what you love as you grow up. Real shit. Also he's just,, so fuckin funny (especially in the dub.))--both his dub and sub VAs do such a great job with him.

least favorite thing about them: man season 3!jaden is........rrrrrouuughhhh. not my favorite, the things that season does to his character. s3 is just. kind of clumsy in its execution dfsfdgdf it drops a lot of jaden's most endearing traits and struggles to make those personality shifts fully worth it. i do think s4 helps bring it back around though.

favorite line: IT'S SO HARD TO PICK JUST ONE HE HAS SO MANY GOOD LINES ESPECIALLY IN THE DUB. "Um, I read the card?" "Alright, Ap :^)" "This is no time to be speaking Australian!!" "I guess bear hugs and old people just don't go together :^(" DUB COMEDIC TIMING HITS DIFFERENT

brOTP: WAHH I LOVE HIM AND SYRUS'S FRIENDSHIP thats his BESTIE!!!!! His dynamic with Zane is so good too....honorary truesdale brother. I'm also a bit in the minority in that I much more enjoy thinking about and playing in the space of his bond with yubel being a sort of platonic soulmates situation. yuub being jaden's cool metalhead older sibling type beat 4 lyf round these parts

OTP: sorry for being a heroshipper it's not my fault i just LIKE THEM. his dynamic with aster is just so funny and kind of sweet and im enamored with them. what if we both liked superheroes and we were both boys and we kissed. 😳 (i like a lot of jaden ships though. rival, spirit, fiance..... i do think he'd be kind of a bad boyfriend for a number of reasons so his relationships might not. last. but. at least he has plenty of friends!!!!)

nOTP: just dont vibe much with jadenyubel as a romantic ship im afraid u__u like its fine but not really my jam.... i've talked about it before but the "ive loved you since you were a child" thing that yubel has just works so much better as a platonic read to me than a,, romantic one. sits weird with me otherwise.

random headcanon: god. so many. gay fat trans guy who's gonna grow up to look like jack black. can and will see every superhero movie that comes out. absolute s-tier smash bros player. has a fondness for pokemon firered. i could go on.

unpopular opinion: the aforementioned preferring his dynamic with yubel to be platonic, also season 1 jaden (and season 1 of gx in general!!) fucking rules. masterclass of just peak silly yugioh.

song i associate with them: One of my favorites for him is Odds Are by Barenaked Ladies.... something so upbeat and hopeful to it. "Sure things go wrong, but I'll take my chances/Odds are long, so why not play"

favorite picture of them:

i love this tag force 3 sprite of him....so cute

Review of MK's The strange case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

I have been wanting to do this for a while and just now got enough thoughts and motivations together to do it 😳

A review of @mk-wizard Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (this will be mostly ramblings and is not in anything that resembles orderly)

With more love for the lxg versions of the character rising up (as it should) I want to put more love out there for some webcomics on the subject of J+H to give some artists that worked hard on their interpretation of the story some attention

And upon learning our dear Ms. Wizard will soon be working on a webcomic based on "Frankenstein" I pray all of you will show her support with the comic and show her some love with her older ones ^^

I was a little late to the party with finding this webcomic (but that tends to be a habit of mine anyway lol) And I am sad to admit I was almost put off because of the art style not fitting the type I was into at the time, but I thankfully ignored that bias and gave it a read...and boy am I glad I did!

The story tells you right up front it is only a loose interpretation of the tale, as it does have Jekyll and Hyde serve as separate entities, almost as polar opposites instead of Hyde being a reflection of Jekyll's own wickedness and simply being a mask for him to wear.

And well the story does take a more light-hearted tone, it still brings up important issues that fit the story, as what SOCIETY might consider moral, ultimately might not be, and trying to please people en-mass only leads to pain and trouble for those who you should be supporting.

Jekyll as most adaptions offer, is much kinder than his source, though he is different in that Jekyll does not use the formula for selfish reason like most adaptations, Hyde in contrast to his original counterpart being a full on villain and a murderer, is very wild and selfish in the beginning, but ultimately has moments where he is very much a gentleman, (see his conversation with Lucy) So this is a consistency that is interesting to watch.

(And Utterson being baby boy throughout all the webcomics I have read is a consistency I will never get tired of )

The whole theme of the comic is being opposites, but not necessarily one person being good and the other bad. There are different kinds of good and bad people in the comic. Jekyll is openly good, but doesn't have the courage to always do what is right. Hyde claims he cares only for himself. but, has been shown to feel sympathy for those who get hurt or used.

Now that I have gushed a bit, I want to go over some things that I wished had been given more focus (this is by no means me being overly critical, this is just my opinion)

I do wish we had gotten more with Lucy and Hyde developing their relationship, as him saying "I only want to be with her" does come on rather quickly though their relationship is fun when it does become offical.

Jekyll's health condition is brought up early on, used once for drama, and not brought up again, it would be interesting to see how he gets around this (similar perhaps to how Eda's curse is treated in Owl House) or how his niece and nephew might react to seeing him become ill or SPOILERS: .....

His new girlfriend (I will not reveal her name to preserve it for those who wish to read the comic ) who also had a sickly relative who died from their condition and how she might react to it.

SPOILERS FOR THE VILLIANS OF EARLIER ARCS

If you do not wish to be spoiled for two of the bad guys in the comic do not read below this line and go read the comic for the full experience ...

ok...

we good?

Lanyon and Carew, I am still on the fence about the fact these two were made villains, I understand why, but still, it is a bit of a mind-bender that Hydes canon murder victim is not only one of the villains, but also alive at the end of the tale, and Lanyon being a false friend to Jekyll is an interesting take, but again, one I am on the fence about.

Anyway I hope you all enjoyed my ramblings and go give the webcomic a read, you won't regret it.

Thoughts while watching Love in the Air episode 8 (PrapaiSky 1):

~ Obviously they're going to return to that first illegal race to start this section - no question, everything was set up for that to happen. Yet I still feel inordinately proud of myself for predicting it. 😊

~ 🥺 Sky psyching himself up to follow Rain.

~ I don't think we've met Pakin yet? He keeps getting hyped as scary and I had the sudden thought that he's Sky's evil ex. But I don't think that would actually make sense.

~ What motorcycle adjacent company is sponsoring this, by the way? I wondered last time and then never looked into it.

~ Ooh. I think I like this moment of first eye contact - Prapai's interest and smirk, Sky's [puzzled?] stare. The musical cues there were effective.

~ I really really want to like these two together. Please Mame, don't fuck it up for me. Please.

~ I personally connect more with these actors and their chemistry, which makes them more fun to watch, but would also make any creepy parts harder for me to brush off. (Who am I kidding, I know there will be dubcon stuff, the only question is how much, how dubious, and for what percentage of their story.)

~ Sky! I love you. The way he gathers up his courage and grabs Prapai's collar. 💜

Ok. Well this kissing looks pretty fucking consensual so far (if I close my eyes and ignore the whole pressuring him into part.)

Ok. Yeah. That was hot. 🥵 😳 And Sky definitely looked like he was enjoying himself.

~ Ok why are we revisiting this entire scene with Rain and Puyu? Not what I'm here for. Oh maybe it's exposition about how powerful/dangerous the street race organizers are? (But we don't need the whole scene for that, musical cues, kiss and all. It takes away from the PrapaiSky momentum.)

~ Sky 🥺 Why are you sad?

~ But so far it feels like dubcon and pressure, not noncon, so it's tolerable to me. It helps that it's obvious that Sky enjoyed the sex, just doesn't trust Prapai (understandably!)

~ I hope this little nepotism baby at his desk in his suit is supposed to look like a kid playing dress up to go to his dad's office, because he does. Although he looks very good in the suit anyway.

~ Yes Sky! Ignore him and just walk out the door! I love you. 💜 (Shades of Sher from Fahlanruk)

~ I think I like this structure of both characters recalling the night before in flashes the next morning.

~ Prapai is smitten. It's adorable. And it feels true to me that he would be after that night.

~ Ooh. An entirely new character. Hello little brother. An odd conversation that I'm just going to ignore, but we establish that Prapai likes being single and free.

~ I'm starting to feel hopeful that Prapai will have his own character arc and have to change in some way. But not confident.

~ Oh, Sky 🥺

~ I do like that LITA is continuing this structure of their parallel lives in montage. And that we're revisiting some of the university moments from Sky's perspective.

~ Ok. Time skip.

~ SIG!!!! Sig Sig Sig 🥳 (And possible support for a Sig-Som background romance? 👀)

~ Long suffering Sky. My baby.

~ Random non-Sky lover, and Prapai is not feeling it.

~ SIG!!! He continues to be great 🥰 And it's nice to see a more serious but still weirdo side to him. Mediate, baby!

~ I guess we're still mid RainPayu? I don't remember their exact timeline, but I do think it wasn't finished until summer break.

~ Wise elder and occasional wingman/occasional cockblock Saifah is back.

~ I actually like Prapai's decision to pursue Sky. He's waited months, Sky's still on his mind; it makes sense. (However I still don't trust how he's going to go about his pursuit.)

~ More weather puns. They're probably even better if I understand Thai.

~ Sig relaxing and having fun reading 💜 And pulling an all-nighter to do it. I knew there was a reason he's a fandom fave.

~ (More acting through pouting. I'm still not sure about this choice, even with my beloved Sky. Ok, actually I am sure; I don't like it.)

~ Ok, yes, objectively Prapai is being a creep here. But it kinda works for me. And I love Sky's sarcastic responses. 💜 (I think he knows who it is?)

~ Or I guess not?

~ Not to justify predatory behavior, but I'm gonna justify predatory behavior by saying that it's at least plausible that Prapai would think that Sky would welcome this game. (If I squint and ignore a lot.)

~ Oh, Sky 🥺 Is that why you think it couldn't be Prapai? Obviously he's attracted to you, that's how this all started, remember? Are you dealing with low self esteem along with your trauma?

~ More shirtless seme in his home gym scene for... reasons. Damn, this scene isn't even pretending to be about anything but admiring Prapai's body. No objection here. I have to say, my first thought (other than hot!) when I see a muscled up actor these days is "good for him, I'm glad he gets a chance to show off all that hard work in building those muscles."

~ SIG!!! 🥳 In the perfect setting for his weirdness. I'll bet $100 bucks this scene was improvised by Tonnam.

~ Hiding behind the box!! Instant reflex. I love it. Too bad it's also completely ineffective.

~ Rain! Why are you selling out your bestie like this? 😟 oh, I guess he's just kind of oblivious.

~ Prapai is a manipulative dick, but my expectations for him were on the floor, so I'm able to find it kind of cute. And Sky kind of opened himself up by not accepting Rain's offer for a ride. He seems like he'd know better.

~ Prapai's attempt at seduction is neither awful nor all that interesting. I like Sky's hardass responses though.

~ Aww, I think I'm gonna like Sky's developing habit of grabbing Prapai by the collar. And Prapai's smitten look as he Sky walks away.

~ Again establishing (to the audience though not to Prapai) that it's lack of trust, not lack of interest.

~ the steel-hearted boy. I love it.

~ Sky makes a very good point and Rain should grovel. Never give out anyone's phone number without their permission. Rain you darling space cadet.

~ I 💜 Sky

~ Not really excited about this dorm manager gossip, tbh. I like her outfits though, those triangle earrings especially.

~ The complex and nuanced journey of Sky's face when he's on the phone with Prapai. (My instinct is to blame all the moments of overacting on the director, because he can be quite good and subtle.)

~ Plant daddy 🪴 Sky doesn't want to hurt the sunflowers 🌻 🥺 (25 bucks that next episode we'll see them in a vase and not in the trash can.)

~ Teenagers. Lol, Sky is four years older than you, you nepo baby.

~ I like this (probably long-suffering) assistant!

I went into this with basement level expectations for Prapai, both because of Mame in general, and because from the few glimpses I saw on my dash that made it past the filters, it seemed like people hated him. He managed to be nowhere near as bad as I expected, so I was able to enjoy him and Sky overall. I'm sure if I'd watched it naïve I would have hated him much more.

[kfanopinions]

His, siiis! I send you my answer anonymous in cade someone get offended

For me, I think that ships are normal for fandoms, especially for kpop fans, something I've read a lot is that "It's better for them to have relationships with each other than other people" and I feel that it is a very toxic thought, if at all. Are you really a fan? Shouldn't you be happy because your idol is happy? I'm fine with ships where they don't involve +18 things, because at least I know people who consider their idols to have such a beautiful friendship that they don't consider that someone other than the other person in the ship can know them and treat them better, so I think it's not something bad, however, I also don't like the idea that they assume someone's sexuality because you don't know how the other person feels, of course, being a public figure they must be used to that kind of comments, making it uncomfortable but "bearable"? , but already, the comments +18 do make me uncomfortable and something that should not be mentioned because they are messing so much with the integrity, friendship, and sexuality of the idol.

Hope you are doing well! 💗, love you 🫂

i’m going to put this under a read more lol

omg…i hate that reasoning so much. why some fans find it more tolerable that their fav idols be in a relationship with each other than someone else is beyond me. i adore v of bts but if it’s true he’s dating jennie then i wish them a happy relationship. idc if they’re dating or if they get married. the only thing i care about like mentioned is their happiness. also jennie is my 2nd fav lisa being my fav so if taennie is real…. yay 😃🥰

thank you for saying about an idols sexuality. we as fans don’t know at all. this is why i don’t say ‘they’d want a girl who is…’ because how do i know? the one someone could be asking me about could be gay or bisexual or asexual 🤷🏽‍♀️ we just don’t know.

while most idols i don’t believe give a rats ass about the ships (you know part of the job description and if they’re okay they play that role well) there could be some that DO have a problem with it. if the idols are participating and show clear signs of not really caring that’s good they can have fun with their fans as long as both sides realize that it’s just all fun and games and not get their wires crossed. when i think about nct ships that seem to have fun it’s renhyuk and yumark. i want to say markhyuk but mark has shown clear signs that he does have boundaries lol sorry haechan 😂

i also wonder and this is through the words of my mom (which i never thought about till she said it) but i wonder if fans realize they are inadvertently obsessing (i wanted to say f*tishizing) over male x male relationships. i see this in both male kpop groups and with the anime community as well. ppl drawing pictures, writing stories about male characters and real life people acting in a sexual nature with each other. while i myself take part in fan fiction i don’t write bxb stuff at all. because that could really make someone super uncomfortable depending on their own personal beliefs. (but there was this one baekyeol story i read YEARS AGO that had me crying it was soooooo good!!!! 😭😭😭😭 don’t ask what it was called cuz i tried to hunt that story down but i think the person removed it 😩 it was soooo good….)

i see most of this behavior on twitter and not on tumblr. on tumblr it’s fans “claiming” an idol is theirs. though it’s for fun their words are still 😬😳😬😳 like if i were an idol i’d be scared of a few of them lol 😂 maybe i just end up on the perverse side of twitter and tumblr somehow 🤷🏽‍♀️😅 it is funny to read some of it🤣

but yeah i’m sure no one here would have been offended by your words sis but thanks for responding 🫂🥰

believe it or not i got sick again 😜 so i was taking it easy for a while. still not at 100% yet hope you’re doing well 🩵🩵🩵 love ya too 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

[solarflicker-ao3]

omg this is me trying not to pick every single option for the fanfic writer ask thing. like good lord i would love to know ALL OF THAT.

I’ll narrow it down tho :)

4, 11, 17, 23, 27, 40, 56

if that’s still too many, feel free to just pick your fav one!!

I got ‘em all!!

Where do you find inspiration for new ideas?

Ruined Ambitions is largely drawn from my own experiences, other people’s experiences, and shameless wish fulfillment. But then for longer pieces like Judecca and an upcoming fic it’s some part of the culture that I live in (Bible Belt) and wanting to be a moderately pretentious contrarian about it. Also occasionally prompts, but I have a very long list of those to choose from.

Link your three favorite fics right now

Poured Out Like Water

this one is insanely underrated!!

sickly sweet

a certified @jittyjames banger my history says I’ve read it dozens of times 😳

no talk of god

devastating don’t let the cover art fool you. It’s a perfect prequel to the uk arena tour and the characterization is so good.

What do you do when writing becomes difficult? (maybe a lack of inspiration or writers block)

Depends on the block. If I’m just completely stuck, and hate everything I’ve ever written then just trying to push ahead is pretty useless. Those are all signs that I haven’t been taking physical care of myself and I need to get back on track before there’s any point in adding stress from writing goals.

But if that’s not the problem I play video game music! It’s perfect since it’s designed to keep you focused on whatever you’re doing. If I can push myself past about ten minutes without switching to a different tab, that usually breaks the block enough for a oneshot.

Best writing advice for other writers?

It’s cliche but perfect is the enemy of good. So find the point where it’s good enough and then let it be. Also if you really hate the scene you’re writing you should probably change the scene.

What is your most and least favorite part of writing?

Honestly it’s when I get a comment or bookmark from someone who connected with what I wrote. A lot of the stuff I post comes from very personal and vulnerable places and it’s nice to not be alone there.

Least favorite is when I’m stressed out for other reasons I get absolutely convinced that everything I’ve written is terrible and embarrassing. Like it’s a great outlet but thanks for the new vulnerability I guess 🤨

If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

Literally so many. If I had the skills I would probably be doing illustrations for every chapter and every oneshot. Top three would be Judas being healed in Judecca, the date in Not Just Any Man, and literally any moment from What’s That In The Bread?

What’s something about your writing that you pride yourself on?

Okay so just being able to write gay stuff at all is very significant so I am very proud of that. When I was a kid/teen i would go out of my way to make it clear that my characters were Definitely Not Gay because that would be Wrong. Stylistically I also think that my stuff is fun to read and I love hiding easter eggs and literary references.

[jjungkookislife]

IT’S HERE!!! 🥳 I’ve been waiting for this since you posted that you were part Daddy’s Home Fest. I love me some domestic fics with cutie babies 🥺 I would just like to say that this might be all over the place cause I wrote my comments on my notes as I was reading so please bear with me 😅

Right from the sneak peak you showed us, I knew their bickering was gonna be a fun ride 😂 I can’t really blame them for being mad at the other cause I see both sides and can understand each one.

I love how right after talking it out with Yoongi being told to just not park there anymore, he still calls it HIS parking spot 😂 I mean if there’s no official spots for staff, then it’s the spot of the one that parks first. So their fight over it is hilarious to me 🤣 And why does he keep ruining her clothes?!?!? I can’t really blame MC. Even I would think it’s intentional by now, but knowing it isn’t makes it funnier. He gets annoyed cause he already apologized but it’s kinda hard to accept his apology when it keeps happening. He’s pretty clumsy and unaware of his surroundings, good thing he’s cute 😂

Poor Tae, must be hard since he knows Jimin isn’t a bad guy but also wants to be loyal to his bff 😅 but I love how she doesn’t want Tae to be caught between their “fight”.

I also want a JK and Hobi to give me a basket of products frequently 😫 cause that ain’t cheap and my broke ass could only dream of having friends THAT generous 😳

MC being petty with by taking the last hazlenut coffee and taking her d*mn time to finish making it. Pure evil 😈 there goes being “cordial” 🤭 They’re both so petty, i love it 😍😂

And it’s so cute how Harin and Mc adores each other 🥺

Oh no, MC is upping her game and convinced Tae to help her scheming. And now the prank war begins and no one wants to be the first to back down 👀 Personally, I am not a fan of pranks, especially those being done to me cause I’m also petty and hold grudges 😬

Not Tae calling her out the she like him 😂 Those two just wants to rile up each other with these pranks 🥴

Ohmygod! The fake poop 😱🤢 I would seriously be mortified if I saw that on my car 😭 Harin’s reaction was adorable 🥺😂

I knew when friday the 13th and the chocolate cake was mentioned that it was Jimin’s bday cake so I was already dreading when MC took a slice of it 🫣 Good thing Jimin laughed it off but I would seriously still be dying of embarrassment in MC’s place 😭

Are Harin and Jimin’s bday the same or just really close?!? And Mama Park setting Chim up with MC 👀 Good thing cause this petty “war” needs to finally be done 😮‍💨

Koo and Yoon are having the time of their lives finding out who MC is and then Jimin and the others finding out too 🤣

Not MC daydreaming about Min right beside him during the game 😂

They’re flirting 🥴 And they finally apologized, took them long enough 🙄😂 The kiss at the end was 🤌

I really loved this story 😍 That was so good and you wrote 16k worth of it 😳 I really loved the characters you created and hopefully, you can let is see a glimpse of them in drabbles in the future. Only if you want to ofcourse. No pressure ☺️ All in all, it was written really well and I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for this and I hope you take care of yourself 💜

Ah, honestly this fic came to me so easily after i signed up so I'm glad i was able to post it :)

you took notes? I'm screaming thank you!

A lot of schools I worked at as a substitute teacher or tutor (especially our office) had limited parking spots so if you didn't get there early, good luck finding a spot! once i parked, that's where i stayed until I had to leave lmao

Imagine if they're fighting over the spot, and someone else entirely uninvolved took it one day lol they'd be dumbfounded or perhaps think the other got a new car lol i can see them staking out the spot to confirm and be confused af when someone else gets out

Yoongi was trying to be the voice of reason lol but Jimin just would not listen lmao in his head, it was HIS spot lmao maybe they'll carpool after their date. And something i learned in college and later on from working in schools, always have an extra set of clothes in the car, undergarments included bc you never know when you'll have to change. Jimin was so clumsy but it wasn't his fault (okay it was) he wasn't aware of his surroundings and the pudding had a mind of its own 😂😂😂

Taehyung was in a rough spot. He tried not to get involved but he did without being fully aware of what was going on when he went to lunch but overall i think he did a good job trying to stay neutral 😂

JK and Hobi had ulterior motives for the skincare lol they figured if they did it as a friendly gesture, Jimin wouldn't suspect they wanted him looking fabulous before they suggested he start dating, so all in all, they were trying to butter him up. if he hadn't found MC then the next step was a new wardrobe

They did their best to get on each other's nerves lmao MC loves annoying Jimin, especially since he got coffee and pudding on her clothes. so any opportunity to annoy him was a win 😂

Harin absolutely ADORES mc, they get along so well, and Harin is MC's star pupil :)

I wanted the pranks to be as harmless as possible, more of an inconvenience than anything else. i HATE hurtful pranks so I went with the desktop background thing and the googly eyes and fake poop. and Jimin left his car in the lot over the weekend. he was originally going to get picked up in an uber in front of MC but Yoongi was already picking up Lila and Harin, so it made sense Jimin would get picked up too lol

Harin's reaction to the fake poop was hilarious! she's so cute! and Tae immediately realizes that MC has a crush on Jimin! he's been around for ages so he knows how she gets with a crush lol

I loved the Friday the 13th cake incident! i was so excited to write it lmao Harin's birthday is the 14th of October so they shared a birthday party and yes, MC was mortified when she realized she had cut and eaten Jimin's birthday cake. Jimin found it hilarious!

Jungkook and Yoongi were having a wonderful time laughing at Jimin's expense! everything just clicked! and mc can't help but daydream about Jimin lmao she wasn't expecting to meet Jimin's friends and her mom's friend of a friend who wanted to set her up with her son who happens to take her parking spot everyday lol the kiss was my favorite! they were supposed to kiss the second time they fell on each other but i wanted it to be a little more private.

I definitely had so much fun writing this story, i was surprised i hit 16k whoops, editing was rough, i had to do it in sections and then go back and fix a few more things. and then tumblr wouldn't let me post so i had to use my husband's computer lol bless him. i would like to write a few drabbles for them in the future, maybe of their first date and a few of them later on in the future and perhaps Halloween and their first time carpooling lol

thank you so much! i know i say this every time but i appreciate you so much 💜💜💜 take care! 💜

Wait your answer wasn't late bestie. I'm sure I sent it like 3 hours before you replied, hahahah, so no worries. I'm late though 😅

People need to stop saying that shit about 2nd/3rd gen groups. I saw that Chen is having a comeback, maybe once most of them do solo stuff and deal with the army there'll be a full group cb too or at least some type of a get-together. <3

Key was holding weapons in his Bad Love promo shoots, but he was also serving looks akhdiaydushsjsI guess he can protect us from aliens maybe? Bodyguard Minho era 👀 and yeah Taemin gets to live a pretty normal life, so maybe that's good for him, but still...

Omg yeah you're right it's about the quality too. That Taekai shoot 🤗

4th slide I need Ateez to pull devil horns, come on. All the concept photos from XH are so fun, the hairstyles �� Hongjoong would pull this off so so well

I was surprised, but 7/11 in SK expanded their vegan line, like kimbap with fake tuna omg!!! among other things. One of my friends said late 2021 to now is peak vegan experience in Seoul, so I cannot wait. She sent me 4 types of vegan mandu a few months ago and they were delicious.

First time I had vegan nuggets at McDonald's in Holland a few years ago I was convinced they gave me the meaty ones and felt so uncomfortable 😭

Like I said I can't and won't stop your Shitstar urges 😭 some people might feel unsatisfied, but if you can pretend you're writing for Hwa while writing for Yunho, maybe they can imagine someone else instead of Hwa. Been there, done that with some people/characters 🤭

Ohhhh, elaborate on your Y/N moment? Sorry for ruining it, bestie I brought you back to the real world 😅

Yeah the free footie pics are not it :/// footwork yes, foot pics is a no no

Sad ending... I just want them to be together ok even if shit is sad 😢

When I talk to Seonghwa I do look him in the eye and try to embarrass him so we're even. But I can't believe we held hands it feels like such a distant memory like how did that happen?!

"i need this man in me right now, i wish u heard the way i said that just now jkf" bestie what are you saying I started choking while working lmaoooo

That shot of Seonghwa drinking from the Teezerverse video reminds me of that all black vampire situation when he was drinking as well 😳

I know these semi-transparent masks work for people who need to read your lips, but they look so creeeeepy. Imagine seeing these two dudes in nice suits, but they're wearing creepy masks 🙈

This but Seonghwa is forbidden (banned, illegal)

Why is this so funny to me - DV 💖

hi helloo!!

Wait your answer wasn't late bestie. I'm sure I sent it like 3 hours before you replied, hahahah, so no worries. I'm late though 😅

OH IT WASNT??? i sometimes answer so late this one slipped out of my mind bjfbjdj

People need to stop saying that shit about 2nd/3rd gen groups. I saw that Chen is having a comeback, maybe once most of them do solo stuff and deal with the army there'll be a full group cb too or at least some type of a get-together. <3

HELL. im oNLY HOPING THEY DO MAYBE SEKAI GO A LITTLE LATER INTO NEXT YEAR AND WE GET A CB WITH BAEK,, chen doing a solo he looking os fine but he;s also doing a face 2 face fanmeet and those sk fans are...nasty towards him 😭😭

Key was holding weapons in his Bad Love promo shoots, but he was also serving looks akhdiaydushsjsI guess he can protect us from aliens maybe? Bodyguard Minho era 👀 and yeah Taemin gets to live a pretty normal life, so maybe that's good for him, but still...

LMFAOOOO don't u think he'd sacrifice minho in a battle with aliens,, hoping key cosplays as some insane complex character this year,,, MINHO BODYGUARD ERA????? but the yn gotta be like key BDFJJK ENEMIES TO ENEMIES 😭😭😭😭😭 saw taemin trending today and it was just everyone crying over the fact his enlistment is longer 😭😭😭

Omg yeah you're right it's about the quality too. That Taekai shoot 🤗

exactly!!! the qualoty of kai's shoots and the themes,, NEED ONE FOR HWA RIGHT NOW,,, that taekaikrystal shoot too bestie oHO THE VISUALS they were sm's triple h

4th slide I need Ateez to pull devil horns, come on. All the concept photos from XH are so fun, the hairstyles 🤩 Hongjoong would pull this off so so well

THE WAY MY JAW DROPPED AT THE HAIR STOP???? STOP KPOP NEEDS TO DO THIS MORE!!!!!!!!!! ateez need to fuck their pirate core for one cb and give us demon core,,, full on like that hairstyle like suho in obsession, the crazy dark makeup, pls do dark begging... HONGJOONG ABSOLUTELY WOULD DEVOUR IT

I heard Nxde and the whole album, I quite like the title, because Carmen reference <3 but it's like After Like, I'm not sure if I like those songs on their own or because of the samples, hmmm. I also like the b-side called X-File, overall the album is okay, but kinda forgettable. Their previous one though 🔥 //// Only heard Antifragile in passing, so I don't remember much and haven't heard Kep1er, but I don't really like their two other titles tbh. And I'm meh about Itzy's English track, it's slightly better than Sneakers, but...still not it. What about you?

[xenia-cenia]

Hii actually i already request this somewhere but i really want to read a different version of everyone about this idea but if it's uncomfortable with u than it's okay☺ soo may i request a fic about a reader who got isekaied into BSD? and the reader loves Dazai so much and wants to be there for him through everything, the reader knows that they can't change Dazai but still wants to be there with him as moral support and eventhough dazai push the reader away, they still smile kindly at Dazai and still be there with him until the end (with kinda romantic feeling blossom😳), actually i'm still hurting with what happened to Dazai in BSD beast and wants nothing but to hug him😭 i don't mind if u want to write about ADA Dazai or Beast Dazai🤧 if it's possible i hope u can make it😭 Thank you so muchh im sorry it's too long😭

A/N-i may of had too much fun with this

Breaking this up into 2 parts because I have a lot of ideas for this! Sorry that this part isn’t exactly what you wanted, but I promise it’ll end happily.

Trigger/Content Warnings: Derealization (I think?), spoilers, suicide mentions/jokes (its dazai), swearing

Part two

Word Count: 1,230

You flipped through the near-memorized pages of your favorite manga, sighing at a familiar face. Dazai Osamu - you weren't quite sure why you liked him so much. Maybe it was sympathy. Maybe it was his pretty face.

Once again, he was idly talking about the 'ideal suicide' while Atsushi listened uncomfortably.

"I wish I could help you..." you mumbled absent-mindedly, "like how you helped me." As you spoke, you laid your finger on his picture and shut your eyes.

When you opened your eyes, you noticed instantly something was wrong. Wind was blowing on your face, and you could hear cars roaring nearby. You sat up - had your head been pounding earlier? - and tried to figure out what just happened.

"Am I dead?" You wondered out loud.

"A beauty like you, dying alone? No, I could never let it happen!" A voice cried out from nearby. Your head snapped in the direction of the voice, and your eyes widened.

"Da... zai?"

"Oh my," he took his hands out of his pockets and shook his head, and walking up to you, "Have we met before?"

"No! I mean..." you choked on your spit. "Yes?"

He stopped walking and eyed you. "Are you lost?"

'Lost' was an understatement. You weren't quite certain you weren't hallucinating.

After an awkward silence, you smiled thoughtfully at Dazai, "Yes, actually. Do you happen to know where a nearby private investigator's office might be?"

Atsushi popped up from behind Dazai, "Oh! We work at one - we can take you there if you'd like!"

"Perfect." You looked at Atsushi and felt a pang of sadness. He didn't deserve the hurt he went through, either. You wished you could help all of them overcome their trauma and become happier. But you knew that would be far too hard for just one person, so you decided to set your sights on Dazai instead.

I'll help you, you thought to yourself, I'll show you there are things to hold on to. Just like you did for me.

Atsushi helped you up and the three of you walked down the streets of Yokohama. It was strange to walk down the streets you'd seen so often in Bungo Stray Dogs. It was even stranger to meet the characters.

Kunikida was the first person you saw in the office. He was furiously typing, undoubtedly making precise and intricately detailed reports.

"Ku~ ni~ ki~ da~" Dazai sang as he danced into the office, "Look what we found!"

"A clue we need to solve our current job?" Kunikida didn't even look up, you could barely see his fingers moving.

"No, but-"

"Then I don't care."

"Agh! You're so cruel. Atsushi, tell him what we found!"

Atsushi jumped, "A-Ah, me? Oh, okay! Dazai and I were searching and we didn't find anything... b-but we found a person!"

"A person who has a vital clue?"

"P-Probably not..."

"An escaped hostage from the people we're tracking?"

"I... ah... I don't think so."

"ANYTHING related to this case?"

"I'm not." You finally spoke up. "But, if you tell me what case you're working on, I can tell you everything you need to know."

Kunikida slowly relaxed into his chair and spun towards you, "And how can we trust you?"

Oh shit. I did not think this far ahead.

"Well- I- ah... I have an ability! I can solve any case and tell you everything you need to know about it!"

"Everything? Anything?" Dazai piped up.

You turned to face him and smiled, "Everything." You repeated kindly.

"E-Even Dazais previous job!?" Atsushi pushed past Dazai and grabbed your shoulders.

You laughed softly, "You really want that reward, huh?"

"How do you know about that?" Kunikida stood up and grabbed his notebook.

"W-Wait!" You raised your hands in the air, "I-It's just my ability! Remember?"

"And what's your ability called?" Kunikida scrutinized.

You looked between Dazai and Atsushi and responded with the first thing that popped into your head, "Stray Dogs."

Dazai stiffened before looking at you with amusement in his eyes. "What a peculiar name." 

With a soft smile, you turned back to Kunikida and cleared your throat, “Is... Is Ranpo here?’

“Hm?” Kunikida turned away from you and checked an itinerary on his desk, “Ranpo will be back in... five minutes.”

You sighed in relief. “Oh, thank goodness. I need to talk to him about... something...”

“My, my.” Dazai laughed in a friendly tone, “I’m almost jealous. Has our boy detective finally landed a partner?” When you turned to him, however, you noticed sinister intent in his eyes. 

He knows. 

"It’s nothing like that, Mr. Detective.” You tried to put on your most convincing smile, “It’s just a silly issue, really.” 

“Ah, please. Call me Dazai. Or,” he lightly grabbed your hand and kneeled in front of you, “join the call of death with me.” His innocent voice juxtaposed his morbid words. 

You squeezed his hand and looked into his eyes, “If you had asked me that not so long ago, I would’ve said yes.”

“Oh!” He exclaimed, dramatically falling to the ground as if he were wounded, “Another lovely potential double-suicide partner taken from me!”

“Get off the ground, idiot.” Kunikida muttered while typing away at his computer. 

“The Great Detective has returned!” An all too comforting voice filled the room. You turned on your heels and saw exactly the person you were waiting for. 

“Detective.” You stepped over Dazai and crossed the room so you were face-to-face with him, “Would you mind assisting me on a case?”

“Assisting?” He scoffed. “I don’t ‘assist’.”

“Then help me. Please.” 

He cracked open his eyes and looked you up and down. “Huh.” Without any warning, he grabbed you by the arm and dragged you towards the elevator while yelling excuses to the confused members of the Agency.

The two of you walked for a few minutes before he sat down on a park bench and patted the spot next to him. You nervously sat down, hoping his intellect would save you the explanation. 

“You can’t do it.” His voice was soft.

“What?”

“We’ve all tried to save him. It’s impossible. Save your time.”

“But- I- I came from a different dimension! If that’s possible, surely so is-”

Ranpo sighed and leaned into the bench, his head resting over the back. “You can’t rewrite The Book.”

“The- how do you know about that?” You looked at him in shock. 

He lazily turned his head and looked at you, “Super Genius Detective, duh.” Ranpo tapped his temple to punctuate his point. 

“Ah... I guess that’s fair. But still. Why can’t I save Dazai? Who wrote that into The Book?”

Ranpo laughed dryly, “Don’t be stupid. Who could have written it in The Book? Who hates Dazai enough to ensure he’ll suffer forever?”

“Chuuya, maybe?” You spoke, deep in thought. “Maybe one of the Hunting Dogs! You... haven’t met them, I don’t think. What case are you working on?”

“The ADA is solving the mystery behind the Azure Bomber.” Ranpo blew a piece of hair out of his face, “But that doesn’t matter to you. C’mon, (Y/N), think about it. Is there anybody in the world who thinks Dazai needs to suffer forever, other than Dazai himself?”

Your blood ran cold. How did he even- no, that doesn’t matter. “It’s useless.” You spoke in a breathy whisper. “It’s all useless.”

Meeting the Squad | JJK

Pairing: Jungkook x reader (nicknamed Candy), feat. BTS and their gfs

Wordcount: 4.8k

Genre: crack, fluff, angst

Rating: 18+

So, @scooby-galleta sent me this request a bit ago, and now, here it is!

hi miss Dita! hope you are doing great :) congratulations on reaching your first milestone!🎉 you are a really talented lady, and you deserve the world ❤️ now, I don't really know how the commissions and prompts works, so bare with me ok? 😅 OK, so you said to ask for something we would like to read, and you know how in jk's steamy waters it's mentioned the night he introduced candy to the guys? well, I really want to know more about that moment, like how was it, their thoughts and feelings during the meeting, all of that you know? and was it just the guys or the girls were there too? sorry if it's a little weird 😬 blame it on my love for your characters, and honestly? I live for the interactions they have with each other :) also, sorry for doing this through a submission, it got super long 😳 have a nice day/night! 💖

Trigger warnings: allusive jokes and comments, alcohol consumption, angst in form of TWO BIG LARGE FOOLS (one of them is actually not that large) REFUSING TO SAY THEY'RE HEAD OVER HEELS FOR EACH OTHER WITH ONE OF THEM BEING A VERY VERY STUPID DUMBASS KEEPING SECRETS. The maknae line is a flock of manaces and there's another pair of fools who is actually trying to deal with their issues. Guess who's who. TaexLace are intimidating and YoongixKitten are parental. The Soulmates are two gossips. NamjoonxVixen are full-time honeymooning (tho they aren't actually on their honeymoon).

almost forgot! This was beta read by my 2 favourite people, @nervous-moon and @joheunsaram. I love you, my bby 💜💜💜💖💖💖

here’s my masterlist! enjoy ✨💜

Entering the room was only mildly scary. And there were way more women than you thought.

“Everyone, this is ____, but you can just call her Candy.” Jeongguk said to the whole room, your eyes immediately meeting Jimin's kind and warm ones.

“Hi Candy!” he cheered, immediately friendly, and though you bowed to him, he opened his arms. “I wouldn't let a sister just bow. Come on.” And how could you deny him? His embrace was warm and welcoming, his chin resting on your shoulder. “Princess is around here somewhere…” he said with a large smile. “Welcome to the squad.”

You felt a blush creep to your cheeks as you thanked him, Jeongguk standing behind you, trying to be an anchor for you.

Seeing all seven of the wondrous BTS men in one single room was mind-blowing, but you got used to it pretty easily. While working for Big Hit, you had often caught glimpses of them, but your job was far from the guys' position and duties.

“Hello, I'm Kim Taehyung. Nice to meet you. And this is Lace, my girlfriend,” his introduction was brief and formal, the woman so alluring you had to blink a couple times to gather her opulent beauty, so full and vibrant that you struggled to understand it completely. “Nice to meet you too, guys,” you greeted them, picking up on their casual tone.

“Let's see if you can guess the couples. Some of them are easy, you have only four left to figure out,” Lace said, breaking the ice.

“How fun! Yes!” you agreed before observing the people in the room. “Okay, Yoongi and the girl beside him, drinking… maybe?” you mused, observing the way they talked quietly together.

Taehyung smiled and tutted. “Try again.”

“Of course, the one sitting, wearing black, talking with the bright coloured one, who should be Hoseok's girlfriend?”

Lace nodded, her face shaped in a lazy smile. “That's right. Only partly. That's just a very close friend of Hoseok. But they're probably dating. Don't tell him we know.”

You found yourself trying to hold back a snicker as you nodded. “So, the girl with Yoongi is probably Seokjin's and… The one helping Jin with the food is Namjoon's. Right?”

“Yes, that's right.” Lace’s enigmatic smile once more appeared, her hand naturally gravitating towards Taehyung’s waist. “We’re very happy to finally meet you. Jeongguk has told us quite a lot about you. He talks about you all the time,” Taehyung said, looking at the maknae with a proud expression. “We're glad to know he's in safe hands this time around.”

The compliment sank in slowly. Apparently you had passed Kim Taehyung's mythological vibe check. You were absolutely grateful for the door to the balcony opening, Namjoon and Hoseok emerging with two sets of beers. “Hey there!” the smaller one greeted you, already using informal speech since he knew you were born the same year as him.

“Hello!” you cheered back. Hoseok was easygoing from the very start. The way he introduced himself to you lively but not in an unsettling way. His friend greeted you next, her personality already manifesting itself with her strawberry blonde hair and the cute sprinkle of freckles peppering her nose. Plus, when she told you she works as a vet, she became your favourite human in the room.

After Jeongguk, of course.

“Nice to meet you,” spoke a deep voice from beside the fridge.

So it was actually true, Namjoon's voice was significantly lower in real life.

It was impressive. You were also impressed by his charisma, immediately understanding why he was the leader. However, that vibe of formality soon dissolved once a warm smile appeared on his face, turning him into the gentle giant Jeongguk always waxed poetic about. Watching the two of them hug felt very warm, like they were saying something to each other without even talking.

“Vixen? Come say hi,” Namjoon called, his hand moving slightly as if to invite her.

You had maybe never seen a woman so… so pretty. She was just. Pretty.

Her face spoke of gentleness and charm. “Hello,” she chirped, and no matter how small she looked beside her partner, she sounded like a queen.

“Uhm… Hello, hi, I'm _____.”

She smiled and you were slightly taken aback by it, your eyes running away, only to notice her hand in Namjoon’s. That felt endearing.

As the night progressed, you couldn’t help studying everyone as they moved across the living room.

Yoongi and Kitten were the exact opposite. They were sitting at different ends of the table and between them you could feel the reassuring solidity of a bond made of steel. They both greeted you, Kitten looking like someone who would take a while before speaking a word to you. Yoongi, although happy for his friend, also looked incredibly wary. Nothing like the exhilarating fireworks of the woman at his side — Angel — who seemed to be set on a very high average of oxytocin in her blood considering how bubbly and sparkly she was — but that was probably a side effect of being Kim Seokjin's girlfriend. Her expression got even brighter the moment he appeared behind her, placing a hand on her back, greeting you easily. Namjoon and Vixen seemed to be close all the time in a secret dance that oscillated between reassurance and attraction: even a fool would have noticed the insane chemistry between them. It was as if electricity was sizzling in the very air that divided them.

Watching all the interactions was fascinating and confusing at the same time: Hoseok and Giggles especially.

Jeongguk stared at them together with you. From what he had told you, Hoseok and him were the ones who had taken the longest to find a significant other — and formally, his hyung was still looking.

Jin had been the first and, quite apparently, he and his Angel were the kind of couple that didn't need much skinship to show their bond. From the way they talked to each other and looked at each other, you could feel so many things hidden, kept away from the public eye, from them sitting side by side at the table, moving in perfect synchrony, to the way their glances lingered on each other, Seokjin blushing and fussing each time Angel complimented his cooking — which was very often. He always said it was Namjoon's girlfriend's merit and moved on, still, he sported a proud smile on his face. Jeongguk looked at your face as you watched his friends around the table, his free hand touching your knee chastely, calling your attention.

You turned towards him, waiting for him to tell you something while all he did was smile, unknowingly becoming the object of Yoongi's attention.

The older man sat beside Jin and across from his girlfriend, who was instead sitting beside Jeongguk. It was a very complicated social network, where everyone seemed to have many things going on other than the insistent thanking for the food and complimenting culinary skills. Taehyung, for example, seemed to live in a different world from his girlfriend altogether — they had mentioned they had officially got together only a few weeks before and they were still settling. Still they seemed to radiate the same steady, pulsating magic, somewhat a fairy king and the most florid of nymphs. Across them, Giggles chuckled quietly, chatting with Kitten so comfortably that the two of them didn't quite make sense the same way Yoongi and Hoseok didn't, but at the same time, like their boyfriends, they seemed to be each other's favoured interlocutor. And then there was Jimin and Namjoon sitting at the shorter ends of the table. Jimin's Princess ate politely, in silence, mostly because like you she was busy scanning the table — and Hoseok most of all. You assumed it was because he was her boyfriend's roommate, and closest member.

You took your time before addressing your gaze to the other end of the table, where another kind of silence reigned.

Namjoon's compliments to his partner were quiet, barely hearable. She ate so elegantly, she looked so classy and poised, though from personal experience, you asked yourself what kind of undercurrents flowed under her crystalline looks. Her gaze was so sharp that once you met it, you averted your eyes, feeling your cheeks blush.

Though Jimin and Hoseok kept asking you questions, and you were eager to converse with them, Namjoon was kind enough to remind everyone you still needed to eat in peace.

“So, how was your trip, Vixen?” The question was casual, if not spoken a bit too brightly. The fact that it had come from Kitten made it even more curious.

The young woman seemed to brighten up all of a sudden. “It was amazing.” She fixed her hair casually, shyly, her whole face reddening, she turned to Namjoon and the glance between them was so intimate, so eloquent, his expression proud and happy.

“It really meant a lot to both of us. It was very relaxing after all the running and working for the tour,” Namjoon replied, looking at Kitten first, Yoongi next.

“We relaxed too, you know” Yoongi teased, stage whispering.

Watching Kitten bite her lip, you were glad for Jimin chirping in. “They're neighbours,” said the saccharine gossip.

You sucked in your lips while Jeongguk cackled mischievously. “You should go on holiday more often, hyung,” your boyfriend commented casually, his hand squeezing your knee unassumingly.

You looked at him, at his bright, boyish smile, at his cute cheeks. He was so in love with his people and you were so glad his quiet and timid persona had grown so splendidly in that environment.

“Well, after being apart for the tour, we all needed some quality time,” Lace admitted. She looked at Taehyung and once more, a veil of privacy seemed to cover her words as she reached his face and moved a lock of hair out of his face, the man basking in the softness of his lover.

“That's true,” you confirmed, searching for Jeongguk's hand to reassure him.

“Ouchie!” said a girly voice on the opposite end of the table. Giggles.

Hoseok was all over her in an instant, wrapping a tissue over her finger. “Clumsy berry,” he scolded her, his voice drenched in worry. “How did you even cut yourself.”

“I got distracted!” she whined back, Hoseok's lineaments becoming harsh in an instant before softening equally quickly.

Everyone was frozen in place, only Vixen standing up and expertly opening a cabinet to find a first aid kit.

“Thanks Vixen, but we should head to the bathroom so I can disinfect the cut.”

She smiled calmly as the other two stood up, Hoseok grabbing the kit and fussing over his… friend.

“Do we need to keep pretending he's not head over heels for her?” Vixen commented, finishing the last veggies on her plate, Namjoon eating her carrots while offering her his sliced cucumbers.

“I don't want to deal with the consequences of getting on his nerves,” Kitten admitted, Princess agreeing with a hum.

“He'll come around, at his own time,” Yoongi commented noncommittally.

Once they were back and all the food had been eaten, the team seemed to slip into comfortable little habits. “I'll do the dishes,” Namjoon informed, his girlfriend following him like a shadow.

“Let me help,” Angel exclaimed, wearing an apron as Vixen leaned against the counter, grabbing a cloth.

You were a bit confused, but you didn't have much time for that as the infamous soulmates dragged you and your boyfriend to the living room.

“Have you seen the rings? That vacation was definitely more than what they told us,” Jimin conspired. “Do you think they eloped?”

“Vixen would never,” Lace replied with surety.

“But she's been a bit off lately. Maybe they're expecting,” Taehyung suggested.

Lace and Princess shook their heads in unison. “Nah,” the latter excluded, looking at the scene by the kitchen sink.

“Angel and Jin are very different from last time,” Jeongguk noticed, Jimin blinking rapidly, knowing that what he knew shouldn't absolutely be shared.

“Maybe the alone time helped them too.”

Jeongguk hummed, thinking. “It's like… There's tension.”

You looked at how Jin kept chatting with his friends while keeping an eye on the figure by the counter. He was in love for sure, but there was also longing. A longing that shouldn't be half as painful considering the fact that the woman he was pining for was his girlfriend and loved him quite evidently — almost eclatantly so.

“I know I've never seen them before but I agree with you, there's tension,” you spoke softly, only needing for Jeongguk to hear.

“Angel is tense. Work and family keep squeezing her up, and she's tired. And Jin coming back didn't help. There's been rough days lately,” Princess informed.

“Isn't hyung helping?” Jeongguk asked, extremely concerned. He knew Angel was the perfect woman for Seokjin. But maybe he wasn't the perfect man?

“Help needs to be wanted in order to work, Kook,” Princess said with a heavy tone. “Maybe his help is not what she needs.”

Kitten and Yoongi reached the living room shortly after. As soon as he sat down, he spoke, “If anyone else needs to pick a ring, please don’t ask me for help.”

“Is he getting married?” Hoseok asked, joining the conversation as soon as he arrived.

“Hopefully,” Seokjin mused. “Vixen's been a blessing to him. Of course he would want to put a ring on it as soon as possible. Though it's very soon, I'll concede.”

Giggles sat far away from Hoseok, his eyes following her before a frown obscured his fine visage.

Yoongi nodded. “He knows what he's doing. Like he always has.” Kitten brought some beer and soju bottles on the table, Yoongi patting the empty seat beside him and her following his invitation immediately. He continued, “He believes in it. Like he believed in all of us.”

Jeongguk's arm snaked behind your shoulders and pulled you into him slightly before speaking, “One time he told me being with her is like laying on the grass in a park on a sunny day. He has no worries at her side.” You smiled at the image. It was a very Namjoon thing to say.

“Are you doing better, Giggles?” Lace asked after a couple seconds of silence, the conversation shifting to another topic.

“Yes, I just realised while you were all suffering for the tour, I hadn't even met Hoseok yet.” Her embarrassed look made you realise she was the kind of girl you could turn into one of your cartoon characters.

“Well, they're abroad this September for a few days, so you're going to experience their unexpected trips,” Princess spoke distractedly, toying with her necklace.

Giggles' face fell. “Oh.” She seemed to lock herself away further.

Hoseok internally cringed. That was his thing to tell. “There's a bunch of interviews mixed with recording and shooting new content.”

“You don't need to tell me.” You could tell she was being a little hostile.

“I need some fresh air. Giggles, would you like to come with?” Vixen asked by the living room door. The other woman stood, Hoseok slightly conflicted as he watched them head to the balcony.

“You're crazy,” Lace spoke, Taehyung placing a protective hand on her leg, Hoseok still too shaken by the rollercoaster of emotions that the whole night had been so far. “Weren't you going to tell her?”

“I was going to!” he objected, standing up, freezing, then starting to pace.

Namjoon and Angel arrived just in time, Namjoon easily solving the crisis. “She's in good hands,” he spoke, reassuringly rubbing his friend's shoulder. “But I think you should reconsider how you feel for her.”

He nodded and sat back down, Angel squeezing in beside Jin, by the corner, the man placing his arm along the back of the sofa while she placed her head on his shoulder, Seokjin blushing only lightly at such a display of affection in that semi-private environment.

Namjoon immediately noticed there wasn't much room left, opting to sit on the floor and leave some space beside Lace, where Giggles would feel safe.

“So, you're a graphic designer and you worked for Big Hit?” he asked, his question very appreciated on your behalf. It was way more inclusive and unobtrusive than anything you had expected.

“Exactly,” you replied, kindly, politely.

“She also makes comics!” Jeongguk added enthusiastically. “Her main character is a bunny, can you believe that!?” He was so excited that you only blushed and laughed at his enthusiasm. He turned to look at your happy expression, taking in the sound of your laugh. “She's perfect, isn't she?” he murmured, suddenly so entirely enamoured with you.

Yoongi and Seokjin exchanged a knowing glance before looking at the maknae with a fond expression. Behind closed doors the older men had always discussed their worries about Jeongguk's character, noticing how his desperate need for a companion had led him to search for love in dark places. Seeing you glow at his side calmed them both, and watching Jeongguk's extremely private nature bloom in your company was their biggest relief.

“I just draw little illustrations and post them online. No biggie,” you replied shyly, trying to dismiss Jeongguk's exaggeration.

“Oh, I need to follow you then!” Hoseok exclaimed, trying to stay in the conversation even though his gaze kept tumbling towards the way to the balcony.

You smiled at him and waved your hand. “Really, no need!”

Namjoon already had his phone out. “Drop the at, miss.”

You confessed it with a blush on your cheeks, your voice barely audible. “Thank you, guys,” you murmured as most of them typed in your username, Taehyung and Jimin exclaiming 'cute!' in unison as they found your page.

“In this house we support art,” Namjoon stated solemnly, smiling at you with warm eyes.

“I heard art!” said a voice from the kitchen, a curious expression on Vixen's face as she appeared on the doorway.

“Candy said she's a graphic designer and an illustrator,” Lace explained, her nose twitching a little as she sniffed at Taehyung. “You changed your cologne,” she whispered, her tone analytical.

“You said you like cedarwood,” he replied, Vixen picking up the conversation where Lace dropped it.

“That sounds so fun! Is there any kind of project you particularly enjoy?” she asked, smiling timidly as she noticed your eyes looking down, where Namjoon's hand grazed her calf.

“I really like doing mockups for websites. Different businesses mean different concepts so you never get bored,” you explained as she nodded, her hand subtly caressing Namjoon's hair as he leaned on her. They had to be in full honeymoon phase.

“I understand. That sounds very exciting. I guess it's the same reason why I love boutique hotels and luxury apartment buildings,” she confessed with a cheerful tone. You were a bit confused by her statement before Princess clarified, “she's an interior designer and art dealer.”

Your mouth went agape as you nodded. That made sense now. Even though you were still positive about her having a side job as a model. Though she wasn't the only one who could end up on a magazine even in their current homely attire.

Your sixth sense told you Kitten could easily strut down a catwalk and have everyone pining for her. Not to mention Princess.

“That sounds so interesting, really. As an artist it must be pretty fascinating to see things from the other side.” Her elegance seemed a little less intimidating now that you knew she was a fellow art lover.

“Oh, I spent many years living among artists and I must tell you your people are way more fascinating than mine!” Vixen seemed to get warmer and warmer as other conversations started developing around the two of you, Jeongguk and Namjoon observing your exchange in silence, smiling at each other as you got to know each other more, getting along perfectly.

“Well, now I know who to call if I have to design a nursery. Or if they ask me for an illustrator!” Vixen said with a chirpy laugh before promising you a courtesy ticket to her next exhibit.

Once your conversation concluded, Jeongguk and you looked at each other before he leaned his forehead against the top of your head.

“So, how is he doing, Candy?” Jimin asked, his voice tauntingly mischievous.

You chuckled. “He's not doing bad. At all. His fear of microwaves is slightly unnerving but very endearing. I can live with that,” you quipped, eliciting a reboant laugh from Taehyung.

“Really Guk? Still with the microwave?” he teased.

“I just prefer staying away. They're not that healthy anyways,” he considered. “I'm sure you have pet peeves too,” Jeongguk quipped, Princess getting the cue immediately.

“Oh, he has. He only washes the dishes with the gloves on because 'my hands are too delicate',” she said, imitating Jimin's voice and accent. “And the dirt on the dishes makes him queasy.”

“That's not true!” he scoffed, looking at his girlfriend with a pout.

“That is true,” Taehyung confirmed. “And you're a spoiled brat who likes to sleep in.”

Jeongguk stood and grabbed a drink, passing one to Namjoon and Seokjin too before he moved behind the sofa, placing a hand on your shoulder right before you laid your palm on top of it, touching your fingers.

“You always sleep in too!” Jimin contested, Lace nodding silently while her boyfriend stared at her with wide puppy eyes full of youth and adoration. From the way Taehyung looked at her you were sure you could safely bet your life on him treating her like his goddess. “I have such a beautiful girlfriend, I don't see why I shouldn't sleep beside her as long as I can.”

Jeongguk squeezed your hand, making you look at him. “Lovey dovey,” he whispered, making fun of his friend.

You shook your head before smiling mischievously. If he made fun of his friend it was only right for things to be even. “Well, Jeongguk still wakes up super early to work out—” He wore a threatening face before you turned to the guys. “But he always showers and comes back to bed because he says wants to watch me wake up.”

Jimin bent over, hand on your knee as he tried to hold himself from falling over with his uncontrollable laughter, while Taehyung simply stared at you with an amused look on his face. He knew Jeongguk was incredibly romantic, almost sappy, but you confirming it made his day — and also made him look at you with even more familiarity and affection; if you managed to make Kook happy, then he was happy too, and if you lovingly embraced his tender side and welcomed his gallant courting, then Taehyung couldn't expect anyone better for his friend. Plus, you playing along in the friendship dynamics was really something.

Nothing like his ex for sure.

“Don't be bothered by them. That's very sweet, Jeongguk. There are plenty of women out there who wish to have something like what you give to Candy,” Princess said tactfully, ever the balanced, soothing presence.

You picked your head up, tipping it back as you looked at him, sneakily mouthing an 'I love you' that made him blush to his ears and made you smile gently.

As your gaze fell once more to the people on the sofa, you noticed Yoongi and Kitten quietly chatting with Giggles, talking about her experience in the city since she had started working there only a couple months earlier. She was sitting beside Lace, just as Namjoon's move had hinted. Her face was adorably flushed and though her previous stressful situation, now she looked significantly more relaxed, mostly because of the couple's anchoring presence.

Out of all the couples in the room, they seemed extremely parental, so calm and composed, almost as if they were emanating reliability from their very pores. You simply listened to them for a while, studying their mannerism: Yoongi, apparently unaffected, chatted with his friend's crush while Kitten's arm, curved behind the sofa, allowed her hand to draw patterns on Yoongi's fresh undercut, where his hair had to be soft and short, like velvet under the touch.

However, your observation was cut short by Jimin calling you back into the conversation, which proceeded deep into the night, until half past midnight, when Vixen's intense yawning caused Namjoon to insist on them going home.

“I can lay down in your room, I don't want you to miss out,” she replied meekly, staring at her boyfriend with bambi eyes that reminded you of Jeongguk's most efficient persuasion techniques.

“I think we all need some sleep, right?” Yoongi added, since — contrary to you — he knew that Kitten petting his hair meant that she was sleepy.

“Uhm… Lace, are you taking the bus?” Giggles asked quietly, knowing that the woman was probably the only one headed in her same direction.

“I'll drive you home,” Taehyung reassured Giggles before Hoseok jumped in. “I'll drive you.”

Seokjin placed a hand on Hoseok's knee. “Let Taehyung drive her.”

Giggles looked visibly uncomfortable for a minute. “No… it's— it's okay, thank you Seokjin. I guess I'll just drive with Hoseok if he doesn't mind.”

He looked like the sun appearing from behind a cloud. “I don't mind at all.” His face was so relieved as it beamed up.

“Anyone staying in the dorms?” Yoongi asked, especially glancing at Namjoon, Vixen's eyes closed as her head leaned on his shoulder. “She's exhausted. I think we'll just crash here.”

Yoongi agreed with sympathy, Jimin and Hoseok obviously communicating with their eyes. They were the only ones who still shared a room.

“I'll head home after I drive her,” the older said.

“You're staying at mine, right?” Yoongi asked Kitten before she nodded sleepily. He smiled fondly. Now everyone seemed to look at Jeongguk. And you.

“No, I'm staying at mine tonight,” he informed, helping you up from the sofa.

“Good. Only Namjoon at the dorms. We're meeting here tomorrow to prepare for the interviews, right?” Seokjin questioned, reminding everyone of their unusual schedule.

“What time is it again?” saidTaehyung just as Jimin complained, “Not in the morning, please!”

“Tomorrow at two pm sharp. Please, let's be punctual since we all have people at home waiting for us,” Namjoon reminded everyone, his hand wandering to Vixen's smaller one.

“Okay, boss!” Jeongguk joked, everyone stirring into motion.

Yoongi and Kitten were the first to leave, saying bye to everyone as they left hand in hand, him wearing a bucket hat and her disappearing in a hoodie before joining him in the chilly summer night. Next were Seokjin and Angel, his lower face hidden behind a face mask while she carefully donned a silk scarf around her head.

Everyone seemed so skilled at concealing themselves and you realised that had become part of your life too as you pushed the hem of your hood down your face before saying goodbye to Vixen and Namjoon. You had almost wanted to hug her, but she was safely locked in Namjoon's embrace, his arms around her waist and her head slotted under his chin.

Everyone else left together with you and Jeongguk, Taehyung and Lace waving at you in the parking lot while you climbed into your boyfriend's car.

“We’re sleeping together tonight, right?” he asked, his voice frail.

“Yes, baby,” you confirmed before placing your hand on his leg.

He smiled at you. “Then let's go for a drive. I don't want them seeing me taking you to mine.”

You froze a little, confused. “Why…”

“They'll tease me non-stop. I don't care too much about that, I just care about you.” Jeongguk caught your hand and kissed it, your fear immediately dissipated. It was childish, but it was also extremely in style with his friends. “Also, in case anyone follows us from the dorms. Unwanted people.”

You agreed with a nod and let him drive you through a quick trip around his neighbourhood, enjoying the city lights and his exquisite playlist.

Once in the parking lot, he switched off the engine, waiting a couple minutes. He was almost ready to kill the lights when he spotted two figures in the dark.

“Get down,” he said, his voice protective, his hand on your head as you balled up in the space before the seat.

“Wait.” Jeongguk squinted at the two people, immediately recognising a sweater. As they turned and shifted, Jeongguk switched off the car.

“Fuck, we were right.”

“Kook?” you called, afraid.

“You can come up, baby. Come look.”

As you sat back up, you gasped. “Oh my god.”

You recognised a cascade of strawberry blonde hair, and a very colorful striped shirt. You had been staring at it most of the night.

Right before your eyes, under the cold neon lights of the parking lot Jung Hoseok was making out with his "friend", Giggles, and that hand was most definitely not looking for his keys as he pushed it up her shirt.

hii memorie, im srry abt ur illness, i hope u’ll be ok and that ur taking care rn🥺🥺🙏 ive been thinking about ph bc i might try to read it after i finish vnc!! ^_^ and also have been thinking abt chrysigil…i love ur catboy gil sm..hes so shaped… i wanna know some more abt chrysi in the ph universe owo!! how does she fit there?

OOOH, i hope u like it !!! vnc is super fun and dramatic (tbh.. i have a chrysijacks au vaguely inspired by it 😳)

thank you for liking catboy gil!! he is. terrified of cats in canon and someone was very smart and drew him as a crying catboy. they have changed my entire life.

so!! chrysi is from another organization that begins to work with pandora—back when she was engaged to azure. she and break became friends (unrelated, but break really liked azure. they would’ve been friends if they could’ve admitted it to themselves. also, break is basically chrysi’s older brother at this point).

after azure “dies” (thrown into the abyss for reasons i haven’t quite decided on yet—besides him being a child of misfortune?? even tho break and chrysi are also children of misfortune), break forces chrysi to work closer w him in pandora—so she essentially becomes an informant for pandora + she sometimes works with them on some cases!

she’ll often also go to balls and parties thrown by the nobility (which startles gil the first time he sees her at a party, because he forgot chrysi’s technically nobility / an ambassador between her working with him and her flirting with him). which is neither here nor there, i jst wanted to bring it up because it gives me an excuse to draw chrysi in pretty dresses.

once chrysi heals somewhat from azure’s “death”, she ends up making her own organization w jacks as her right-hand man. she still works rlly closely with break (and yet.. they still are like “wdym we’re friends?? don’t you dare put me in the same room as them.”) which is how she finds out oz (whom she’s never met before) is back—that and the fact that gil stops contacting her fkskgkskcjsjzk.

chrysi ends up meeting alice first, when sharon brings alice with her to afternoon tea. alice bites jacks here, which is—again—neither here nor there, but it IS their first meeting.

THEN oz meets chrysi the next time she comes to pandora to discuss certain things w break, and they end up having tea as well.

from there on out, she’s a recurring friend character that shows up until oz figures out gil and chrysi were somewhat a couple. then comes his scheming to get them together so he can have chrysi as his sister-in-law.
