[ssajemilyprentiss]

In the air

Pairing: Emily Prentiss x reader 

Warnings: Smut, angsty-ish, reader is a bit cold/lacks emotion, Emily is a bit out of character lol (just this once), mentions of death (you know the regular cm stuff), sexual tension (or more like an attempt at it lol), curse words, eating out, vaginal fingering, nipple/breast play, dirty talk, use of pet names, degradation, praise. Let me know if i forgot something - Also MINORS DNI

Summary: When you get brought in for questioning at the FBI and they have Emily interrogate you - the tension between you is instant.

Wordcount: 2k

A/N: Um hello I guess, I’m back lol. It has been a hot minute since I both wrote and posted on here, and tbh I am a lil scared doing this again. Even tho I love posting and writing I have been so uninspired and unmotivated for so so long for some reason. But I will try to post more, can’t make any promises tho lol. 

The beginning of this has been sitting in my drafts for god knows how long and I wanted to do something with it so here I am doing it lmao

Also a reminder if it has been forgotten, english is not my first language - and I would deeply appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this, thanks besties <3

This was requested by the lovely Jas @rafetopia​​​ (you requested this such a long time ago so you have probably forgotten it, and i can’t find your ask either, sorry about that lmao) who wrote the following: “so what if you wrote a blurb or one shot with emily (or jj tbh i don’t really care i love them both) and there are some murders and the reader is the suspect and there’s a hot interrogation session (i’m a sucker for it) but the ending is up to you like if she’s innocent or not (only if you want to lol) i didn’t want to make it too specific so you still have freedom 😅”

I decided to go with Emily for this one, hope that’s fine Jas (also hope it's fine i added the smut lmao) thank you for this request and i hope this turns out the way you wanted to <3

You let out a deep sigh, crossing your legs for what felt like the hundredth time. The dark, pale interrogation room at the FBI headquarters was freezing cold and you feel yourself getting goosebumps from the chilly atmosphere. How long had you been sitting here? An hour? Two? Who knew? No one had told you anything yet, and none of the agents who showed up and arrested you had come in. Just as you’re about to uncross your legs the door opens and a grey-haired goddess of an FBI agent steps inside the room, her commanding presence immediately taking over the room. She takes a seat across from you, not saying anything. She stares deadpanned at you but all you can think about her eyes - dark brown, almost black, and you feel how you could get lost staring into them. The next thing you see is her nose, straight and pointy - one of her defining features for sure. Your eyes move on to her lips, they are full with a hint of red - red is definitely her color. You keep staring at her lips, biting your own lower lip as you do. You sit in silence for you don’t know how long, until she breaks the silence by clearing her throat. Your eyes shoot up from her lips into her eyes once again, and you see a sly smile forming on her mouth before she starts talking:

“My name is Supervisory Special Agent Emily Prentiss, I’m a profiler with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit” she takes a breath before continuing “do you know why you’re here Ms. Y/L/N?”

“Actually I don’t” you reply, your lips forming a small smirk “but please agent, do enlighten me”

“You are here on suspicion of murder” 

“Murder?” you retort, raising an eyebrow

“Correct, murder” she replies, tossing pictures on the table - but you keep staring into her eyes. 

“Look at the pictures” she demands

You do, and see yourself in all of them - together with different women. You look up at the agent again with a blank expression. 

“Do you recognize the women in the pictures?” she asks

“Well yes I do” you reply

You point to one of them “That’s me right there” 

“‘I mean the other women” she retorts annoyed

“Oh, silly me” you chuckle “well yes I recognize them too”

“Go on” she says

“Well, as you can see I’ve met them all” 

“Doing what?”

“Do you really wanna know that, Agent Prentiss?” 

“Go on” she encourages you “What about her?” she asks, holding up one of the photos

You look at the photo for a while, it’s of you and one of the girls you had met - what was her name? Mia? Sophia?

“She was a pleasure”

“How come all the women you have met turned up dead just a few days after meeting you?” she asks, her tone accusatory 

“Don’t know” you reply, shrugging your shoulders

“This isn’t a game Y/N, people are dead” she says, venom lacing her tone

“Don’t you think I know that?” you scoff “well I didn’t kill them”

“Where were you on these dates and times?” she asks, sliding a piece of paper with them written down towards you

“Well I can tell you that on all these dates I was very busy” 

“With what?” she asks

You bite your lip again before answering “Well I was with my very good friend Izzie”

She sighs “And you were doing?”

You lean back in your chair, keeping your eyes fixed on hers as you do “You know the usual - shopping, drinking coffee, eating”

“Eating what?” she asks

You chuckle lightly “We were eating a lot of things, if you know what I mean” you say as you raise an eyebrow at her. You see how she takes a second, thinking about what you’re saying, but if your answer startles her - she doesn’t give it away. 

“To be fair Y/N” Emily sighs “I’m getting kinda tired of this” 

“Likewise” you reply, crossing your arms

Emily leans across the table, staring into your eyes. Her hands firmly gripping the table, and you imagine them gripping your body instead. You are woken from your fantasy by her hot breath right next to your ear. You feel the hairs on your arms raising and how wetness starts pooling between your legs.

“So why won’t you just tell me the truth, like a good girl” she whispers, nipping lightly at your ear

You take a sharp breath, exhaling shakily and not daring to move a muscle. 

“Tell me Y/N” she whispers again “do you want to be my good girl?”

You nod, not trusting yourself to speak. She chuckles lightly and tuts

“None of that now, I want to hear you say it” she whispers

You whimper lightly and swallow, just as you’re about to open your mouth the door opens and you and Emily get away from each other, she sits down in her chair composing herself. You sit back in your chair, feeling out of breath. You lock eyes with a tall grumpy agent who stares deadpanned at you. 

“You’re free to go Ms. Y/L/N” he says

“What?” you ask, shocked

“You’re free to go” he repeats “your alibi checks out”

You get up from the chair and as you’re about to leave the room you stop right by Emily’s ear and whisper:

“That was fun, we should do it again sometime” 

You don’t give her time to reply, swiftly exiting the room. On the way out you feel all the other agents staring at you as you walk past them, but all you can do is smirk - thinking back at the moment you just had with Emily - and how you need to get rid of the wetness between your legs the first thing you do when you get home. 

/

The sun was shining outside the BAU, and you close your eyes taking a deep breath. You felt your phone vibrating in your pocket, picking it up you see your uber is on its way. You close your eyes and exhale once more, but before you know it someone is behind you and pushes you against the wall of the building, their hand on your throat. You feel your air supply being cut off and open your eyes in panic, and there in front of you is the grey-haired goddess of an FBI agent once more. She releases the pressure against your throat a little, but keeps her hand steady. You gasp for air as she leans towards you. 

“Listen here you little slut” she says “I don’t think you’re as innocent as you make it look, but to be honest right now I don’t give a fuck”

You don’t answer, focusing on your breathing

“But what I’m more interested in right now is to keep our little party going” she says, backing away “If you want to?”

You raise an eyebrow at her, but can tell from the look on her face that she is serious. You chuckle, looking down at your feet with a sly smile - you look up again, meeting her brown eyes and reply:

“I’d never thought you’d ask”

/ 

She pulls you inside her apartment, dragging you towards her bedroom. She pushes you against the wall once again and presses her lips against yours. You moan into her mouth as your hands caress her body, reaching her breasts. 

“Let me take your shirt off” you pant into her mouth

She pulls away and you pull her shirt over her head, and then do the same with yours. You take off her bra while she does the same with yours. She trails her kisses along your neck, and you throw your head back, giving her full access. She stops by your pulse point, sucking hard on it. You close your eyes and moan as she does, your hands finding her breasts. You start rubbing one of her nipples between your fingers, causing her to moan against your neck. She keeps trailing kisses further down on your body and reaches your breasts. She takes one of your nipples in her mouth, circling her tongue against it. 

“Holy fuck” you breathe out “keep doing that”

She chuckles lightly against your nipple before pinching it lightly with her teeth, making you yelp. 

“Lay down on the bed” she says

You obey, laying down on your back

“You’re so wet for me, aren’t you?” she asks, smirking

You lick your lips and nod, staring up at her. 

She lowers herself, trailing kisses along your stomach down towards your pussy. You feel your clit pulsing and wetness dripping between your legs. 

“Spread those legs for me” she says, and you obey instantly “let me see that pretty pussy of yours” 

She starts kissing your inner thighs slowly, just brushing over your clit lightly when she switches from one leg to the other. 

“Please” you pant, putting your hands in her hair directing her towards your clit “Please stop teasing and fuck me”

“As you wish princess” she says and start sucking forcefully on your clit, making you moan hard of the instant pleasure she gives you

“Such a good girl” she says against your clit, and you thrust your hips forward, looking for more. She chuckles softly and starts licking up and down your slit, and she easily slips two fingers into you - thrusting them slowly. 

“Harder please” you pant “I’m gonna cum”

She picks up her pace, her thrusts becoming more determined, and your eyes starts fluttering from the overwhelming pleasure that is approaching you

“Cum for me” she husks and circle your clit once more, your orgasm washing over you like a wave of pleasure 

“Fuck” you breathe out as she starts lapping up your juices

She kiss you and you taste yourself on her tongue, and then you flip her over - with her underneath you this time

“My turn” you coo and lick your lips, pinning her wrists above her head as you caress one of her nipples with your tongue

"So perfect" you murmur "Perfect tits. Perfect ass. Perfect everything" 

You work your way down her body, kissing her 

“Please” she breathes heavily “I need you”

“Where do you need me?” you ask, kneading her breasts once more 

“Inside” she whimpers “your fingers inside”

You lick a line along her slit, tasting her wetness 

“My my” you chuckle “do I make you this wet?” 

“Yes” she groans “please just fuck me”

You slide two fingers inside of her, thrusting them slowly as you lower yourself towards her clit and take it in your mouth. She moans deeply and arches her back, and you start picking up your pace. 

“Please” she breathes “need more”

You add another finger smoothly, and let her adjust a little before you start thrusting again, and you curl your fingers at her g-spot and start circling your tongue on her clit again - feeling her walls clenching against your fingers

“Yes” she cries out “just like that, I’m cumming” 

You pick up the pace, flicking her clit harder and thrust your finger faster. 

You feel her orgasm taking over, and she cries out from pleasure. You keep thrusting, helping her ride out her orgasm. When she has calmed down you slip out your fingers and take them in your mouth, cleaning her juices from them - and you moan once again from her taste. 

The two of you crash down on the bed next to each other, panting heavily. 

“That was good” she whispers

“So fucking good” you reply and she chuckles at you, turning her head towards you

You stare into Emily’s dark brown eyes once again, the first thing you had noticed about her when she walked into that interrogation room what felt like an eternity ago. Whatever lies behind those beautiful brown eyes is one mystery you would spend your entire life solving.

. . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ THE BRIGHTEST STAR - bang chan ࿐ྂ

pairing: nonidol!bang chan x gn!reader

genre: angst, no comfort (i warned you)

warning: mentions of suicide, cursing, the entire drabble is full of hurt

words: 0.8k

synopsis: Chan visits you again. What will you say to you this time?

a/n (1): this drabble is triggering, so please if you are sensitive to the warnings DO NOT read. Your health is my priority and remember that you are not alone, you will never be. If you need someone to talk to, I’m here. English is not my first language, so tell me if I made some mistakes.

«hi my love, i’ve missed you. Do you remember what day is it? It’s our anniversary and I really can’t believe that we’ve come this far. The younger me would be so proud to hear I’ve been with the love of my life for six years now. And I would do anything to spend this special day with you. Actually I don’t really want to celebrate. It would be useless if I’m alone. 

«I bought your favorite flowers today. Hope you will appreciate them. Do you remember the first time I bought you flowers? They were roses and you were so scared to tell me you were allergic. I felt guilty but when I saw you laughing I thought it was all worthy. Even tho I tried to kill you, hearing and seeing your laugh for the first time was like being transported to heaven. I immediately felt lighter and happier. You’ve always made me the happiest. It’s a shame that happiness is gone now. But it’s not your fault, if anything it’s mine. 

«the boys miss you too. You know, one week ago we met all together for the first time after the accident and I tried, I tried so hard to distract myself. I did everything I could, they did everything, but it was all pointless. I told them I was fine, that I felt like I was already moving on, but they were all lies. I can’t help it. I don’t want them to be worried. They’ve already suffered enough and I don’t to be another burden. 

«I wrote you a song. Yes, another one. It seems like you are still my biggest inspiration. I really want to sing it to you, but it’s not finished yet. You need to wait just a little more. I promise you, the next time I’ll come with the lyrics. Just wait for me. 

«why y/n? Why did you do this to me? Was I not enough? Did you feel like you couldn’t trust me? Why? Why did you not search for help? I would have been there. I would have listened to each of your worries. I would have stayed with you. I would have told you that everything was going to be okay, that you were not alone. So why did you never told me how you were really feeling? Fuck- why? I know that it’s anyone fault, but I feel like I’m the only culprit. I know that i should not be mad at you, but I am. I’m madly angry. I wanna scream, cry and at the same time let everything go. But you will still not come back to me. So why should I try anyway?

«I’ve always seen suicide like a way to die for cowards. I’ve always thought that people who chose it were selfish. But who am I to think about it like that now, if I wasn’t even capable of helping you? I’m the real selfish because in 6 fucking years I wasn’t be able to look into you, to look through you. You were suffering and I didn’t do anything. I tried to blame you when you told me you needed me, so who am I to fucking say you are the selfish one? I’m a mess. I’m a disaster. 

«the last time I saw you, you were happier. I remember that I even asked you why. You just told me “today is a beautiful day” and before I left you said “I love you, always will” for the last time. If I only knew. I read somewhere that a star burns brightest in its final moments and I get it now. Every time I look at the sky I always wonder if you are finally happy. When I look at the glowing stars I always think it’s your way to tell me that you are there. You are there and you are okay. You are protecting me. 

«I cry. A lot. Even now, I can’t stop crying. The guilt it’s really hard to bear. I can’t even look in the mirror without feeling disgust towards myself. And you would probably be disappointed too if you saw me like this. You want me to be happy, but I can’t. Not without you. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I didn’t look out for you when you needed me the most. I’m sorry that I wasn’t there when I was supposed to. I’m sorry that i was the worst boyfriend you could ever ask for. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. 

«will I ever be able to see you again? I really hope so. But I’ll make sure to look at the sky every single night and look out for the brightest star. Because you are there, aren’t you? 

«please wait for me, I still have to sing you a song. You will be proud of me, I promise.

a/n (2): hiii, how are you? I’m finally on school break! Sorry if I’m being inactive BUT, apart from school that is really stressing me out, I’m working on a bunch of things (a long ass fic and a smau :)) ). I probably already said this, BUT I’M GOING TO SEE MY STRAY KIDS IN JULY AFTER TWO YEARS, AND I’M THE HAPPIEST. I cannot really wait. Btw, thank you for reading and i hope you enjoyed it. I also ask you to like it and tell me your opinion about this to help me to improve. Have a good day / night 🫶🏻

[babydollmarauders]

for the el au it would just be so cute bonding with ellen and jim like they are so supportive and are buying you everything, even tho they don’t need to, and always want to hold their first grand baby or watch her i just can’t

“oh god.” i furrow my brows at Jack's groan, momentarily taking my eyes off of the four month old in my arms to look at him.

“what?” my question is answered by a gesture, pointing his finger behind me towards the front door. i turn to look and can't help but smile at the grin that's on Ellen's face.

she steps through the front doorway of the lake house, arms burdened with a huge box.

“Jacky, go help your mother!” i scold him. my husband huffs, rolling his eyes as he stands from the couch and steps over to his mom, taking the box from her grasp.

“jeez, mom. what did you get now?” Jack asks, setting the box down on the living room floor.

“i got El a stationary activity center! i figured she could use it soon, so when i saw it i just had to get it!” she tells us. “it’s a baby jumper and then when she gets older, it turns into a play table!”

“mom.” Jack sighs, shaking his head. “you didn’t need to get this for her. i could’ve done it. i provide for my family, i promise.”

“i know you do, honey.” Ellen pats Jack’s shoulder. “but she’s my grand-baby! i wanna get her stuff too!”

“well, let’s see, you got her three new dresses on thursday, a tummy time mat on friday, a new sun hat and bathing suit and sandals on saturday, and now this.”

“ignore him!” i say. “we appreciate it, and i know El does too.”

before Ellen can speak again, Jim steps through the front door, arms full of bags.

“i think we cleared out the baby clothes section.” he chuckles, which makes Jack groan.

“not you too.” Jack whines. Jim just shrugs.

“i’m her grandpa, it’s my job to spoil her.”

Ellen scoops El from my lap just as Luke calls Jack out back, claiming needing help with starting a fire. Jack presses a kiss to my forehead before slipping out back with his brothers and friends.

Ellen, Jim and i sit in silence for a few moments, the only sounds being that of them entertaining El and cooing over her.

“i know i’ve probably said about a million times, but i’m about to make it a million and one; i can’t thank you enough for making this adorable angel. we love her so much.” Ellen’s words are so soft and gentle, making me smile.

“yeah, she is pretty adorable, isn’t she?” i laugh. “she gets it from her dad.”

Jim scrunches his nose at El in his lap as he nods.

“she looks so much like him, it’s kinda creepy.”

Ⳋ.𐬹 stray kids x gn! reader. GENRE ! ˏ`crack, hc.

WARNING!!! well there's smoking, and some of the kids lie sauurr

BANGCHAN...

Doesn't smoke actual cigarettes.

Vapes instead.

When he was caught with it, he tried to act like it was a mouth organ instead.

His vape flavors are absolutely horrendous tho

Like bro got one that's organic and another one that's like spinach flavor or something because it's the safest.

MINHO....

Doesn't give two shits about getting caught to be honest.

Will try to flex his skills though.

Tries to make smoke rings in your face.

But fails and has a whole coughing fit while arching his back and hand on the waist with his tongue out.

CHANGBIN...

Yeets it off in the distance.

Tries to gaslights you into thinking it's a herbal vapor treatment for sore muscles.

tries to get away by saying the only thing that is smoking, is his body and love for u.

HYUNJIN...

Tried to smoke for the aesthetics.

Was like bro, 'I'm such a smoker.'

Was shocked to find out that you have to inhale the smoke.

Turns out he never smoked properly ever

So you're legally not allowed to reprimand him.

JISUNG...

Straight up denies that it's a cigarette.

Acts like someone has lied to him saying that it's some good stuff that will help him relax.

Feigns innocence and starts clinging to you.

Promises to never touch one again

FELIX...

Have you listened to his voice?

man sounds like he's a chain smoker from the past 5 lifetimes.

No one is going to be surprised if he's caught with one if we're being honest.

SEUNGMIN...

Blames it on Minho for being a bad influence.

JEONGIN...

He's caught the moment he holds his first cigarette.

Starts panicking.

Swallows the unlit cigarette whole.

Cries at night when he suffers from a stomach but refuses to come clean.

Clings to a pillar with tears rushing down his eyes to prevent you from dragging him to the E.R.

Nggg fucking Ace in his work clothes tho👅

I hate the smell of motor oil but there is just something about mechanics...

See that’s exactly how he gets you…

( MDNI, No Age in Bio DNI )

CW: very suggestive but not full smut, risky, unsafe, mild exhibitionism/mentions of it, getting cockblocked 😔

Info: top darling, gn darling, darling is actually kinda shy in this one but not-so-secretly longs to Dom

The mental image of him bending over to get a better look under the hood of a truck, his formerly-white tank top covered in grease and sweat stains, another bead of sweat traveling from his hairline to his neck, muscles straining as he works to loosen a bolt with an old wrench, cursing in frustration at the stripped metal sliding over each other uselessly.

It’d be so easy to strip him too.

Just reach around, untie the coveralls around his waist and drag it down with his boxers— oooh, or panties, lacy and impractical and digging into the soft skin of his hips— Ace curses again, head whipping around, but sags in relief seeing it’s you.

He shivers at the feeling of your hips against his ass, you pressing against his unprepared hole. Your fingers dig into his hips. Ace hisses quietly at the feeling.

“Hurry up, will ya? Break’s almost over, they’re gonna come back soon.”

You hum thoughtfully, running your hands up Ace’s back and dragging your nails down slowly. “I bet they’d appreciate the show.”

Ace takes a deep breath, turning and leaning back against the truck he’s working on, pretending to be surprised to see you. Teasingly asking, “What brings you over on this side of town, doll?”

His eyes are dark, hungry, almost like he knows what you’ve been thinking about.

“I— I brought you some lunch.” You timidly hold up the bag, with sandwiches and cut strawberries.

“Thanks, hon,” Ace grins wolfishly, stealing the bag with one hand and gripping your wrist with the other, tugging you in between his legs. “But maybe I’m craving something else sweet right now?”

“Yo, Ace!” One of his coworkers yells from across the lot.

Ace scowls, yelling back, “Fuck you want? I’m on break, make it quick.”

He grabs a rag and walks over, but not before pressing a kiss to the corner of your lips and promising he’ll give you a proper thank-you for the meal when he gets home.

wip snip 7.1

happy wip wednesday! i'm hoarding the last chapter of Glory (i promise it'll be up soon!) and i wanted to post a short snippet of my next fic, which i've been working on between traveling.

i've been calling it "egg fic" and the premise is that post-game gale and astarion are roommates (gasp) in waterdeep, and gale is very much in love with astarion and extremely tortured about it because they are just friends. then lae'zel shows up to ask them to look after a stolen githyanki egg, and gale has to take a break from pining to lose his mind over this egg. he still pines a lot tho.

here's a bit from the beginning:

“Astarion?” Gale calls, voice a bit wobbly with fear as he bursts into the sunroom. Astarion is lounging on his favorite chaise, flipping through a book in his lap, as shoeless and half-dressed as Gale is—Gale takes a panicked second to make sure he’d put on pants to sleep, which he did, though he’d unfortunately forgone a shirt. Astarion does have a shirt on, though it’s unbuttoned as if in deference to the unseasonably warm autumn they’re having, not that he really feels the heat. His pants are loose and billowy, clearly vying for comfort more than his usual skintight fare, though that doesn’t stop Gale from staring at him a bit too long and then looking away with a familiar twinge of guilt.     He had likely just come in from his own hunt, gotten comfortable, poured himself a glass of wine. He likes to watch the sunrise under the protective spells of the glass-encased sunroom Gale had built for him, and when Gale can wake up in time, he gets to watch Astarion watch the sunrise. It’s one of his favorite routines, nearly enough to make him a morning person. For a moment, Gale’s relief at seeing Astarion unharmed overtakes all feeling, and he’s a bit overwhelmed. This is something that happens a lot when he walks into a room and sees Astarion there, to be perfectly fair; it’s becoming a rather large problem that Gale has decided to ignore for as long as possible. Astarion lives with Gale, of course, which makes the problem crop up multiple times daily—he has to ignore it a lot. Astarion doesn’t even flinch when another roar sounds out above them; he just flips a page and says, “I think something just landed on the roof.” Gale stares at him, his heart pounding, then jumps as he hears very loud, stomping steps on the roof. Astarion flips another page in his book, then takes a sip of wine from a half-full chalice on the side table. “Astarion. Some—some creature, or monster, or aircraft—” “Gods, I hope not; I am not in the mood to be abducted onto a nautiloid today.” “—has just landed on the roof of our tower—” “Townhouse,” Astarion corrects absently, automatically. Gale glares, hard, relief starting to fade. “Oh, do not start with me on that—my point is that you are remarkably unconcerned that something has just—” “I’m assuming the wards will take care of it,” Astarion says, finally looking up. He immediately leers at Gale’s shirtless state, making him dearly wish he had grabbed for his dressing gown before rushing to make sure Astarion was all right. Gale flushes under Astarion’s gaze, which of course makes him leer harder, and makes Gale start to feel overwhelmed again—this is all a very familiar, rather torturous cycle. “While I appreciate your confidence in my warding abilities, this is still a rather alarming—” And of course the wards choose that moment to make their presence known, sending a loud, chiming magical alarm through the tower. It’s followed by muffled, irritable outbursts, not in Common but in a familiar tongue Gale hasn’t heard since their tadpoled days. Astarion also perks up at the sound of it, frowning curiously. “Lae’zel,” they say at the same time, and then both hurry towards the balcony off Gale’s study.

wip update

since I have a good number of actively-posting WIPs that some lovely people have been very kind about and invested in (and which I am very slow in updating), I figured it might be only polite to post a little update on where those are.

the melting press of the sun (dreamling) - Never intended this as a longfic, there may or may not be more than the 2 chapters it has now. I have a bit more written but it's disjointed and incomplete. I intentionally didn't leave any brutal cliffhangers on what I did post for this reason. We'll see if that one comes back.

Deja vu, Deja connu (dreamling) - The slowness in updating probably belies how deeply emotionally invested I actually am in this fic. Chapter three is just a major challenge--it's very long, covers a lot, has lots of fluff in the first part (fluff is kinda my Achilles heel, though not quite as much as wedding scenes, which this chapter also has) and a lot of heavy content later. But I have the whole fic outlined, a bunch of chapter 4 and 5 written in advance, and I'm super excited about the stuff that comes later, so it will definitely be finished, just... slowly. At least for this chapter.

In Waking Dreams (dreamling) - My current priority for an update. Chapter 4 just hit 10k and will probably hit 15k before its done (god help me), and I feel somewhat obliged to finish chapter 5 as well so I can post them in quick succession. Chapter 4 necessarily ends on a cliffhanger as it catches up to the events of chapter 3, but I feel bad about two cliffhangers in a row. But that one soon, I hope. (chapter 5 has a lot of the juiciest, long awaited scenes promised by the fic's premise, so I hope you will like that one when it's finally done 😅)

IRL (malec) - Fic that I have a tendency to get stuck on for 15 months, then write a ton of all at once, repeat. But I actually picked it up again the other day for the first time in ages, and I think I know all of the events of the chapter now, so who knows! Maybe I'll actually manage an update!

Subject: I Love You (malec) - Fic that I shamefully left with ONE CHAPTER remaining for a full year now. Honestly not sure why. Someday I will pick it up tho, I swear to god, or maybe I'll just cut the chapter short and make it an epilogue. (Actually maybe I do know why. It's another damn proposal/wedding scene. My absolute weakness and failure, I should stop writing them entirely)

mind & heart, body & soul (malec) - This fic haunts me, it follows me around 24/7 like a vengeful spirit that can't find rest. I can't wrangle it back into making any sense in my head, but for the sake of both my own sanity and the story's frankly frightening number of readers (I love you but you scare me), I've been trying to do one final chapter to offer some kind of wrap-up. Hopefully I can manage it.

Leviathan (malec) - My long held passion project that I have, in classic form, not touched in months. In fact I've been stuck on the same chapter I'm on now since probably 2020, when I first started writing the fic. This particular middle part of the fic is just vexing me to no end. At some point, I will decide on a course of action, inevitably flawed, and just power through that chapter (I say, for the 2nd year in a row). Why did I give this story two big villains again? Or think having a whole separate story arc in the middle of the fic was a good idea? Ah well.

in the palm of your hand (malec) - The one and only multichapter I finally caved and marked abandoned. I learnt my lesson with this fic about letting a oneshot expand into a completely unplanned longer fic. Boy did I...

----

I feel like I don't express it enough, but I really appreciate everyone who's ever read one of my fics, commented, kudos'd, chatted with me about them on tumblr, made podfics or art or translations, shared headcanons in my inbox or your own fics with me... I'm always blown away by the kindness and interest, and love getting to share little (or big!) stories with you and am so happy when you enjoy them ❤️ I love doing fandom with you.

[trippygalaxy]

Pairing: Sr!Time x gn!reader (headcanon, romantic) Warnings: Fluff?Time being a grump! I ramble a lot, sorry ._.'

OKAY I KNOW I HAVE REQUESTS I SHOULD BE WORKING ON BUT MY BRAIN IS FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN WITH SACRED REALMS TIME!! The comic is @/zelda-the-sacred-realm (no I will not tag them, they're cool and I would rather die then have them acknowledge me being a simp :3 /hj)

Time

Honestly very surprising that you managed to woo the grump! His salty attitude and tough exterior is a hard one crack, let alone break enough to allow you to worm your way into his stubborn heart!

But once you're there, I can promise you that he isn't letting go that easily! He's your problem now! >:P

Isn't big on PDA at all. He has a image to keep and he doesn't want his team mate to see him weakened (by your charm)! Well- actually its more like he's trying to save both you and himself from their never ending teasing

cause oooo boy!! Those boys are RELENTLESS!! Its such an odd and rare sight for them to see the might hero of time is such a...soft state! You turn the frightening grizzly bear into disgruntled teddy bear with a simple kiss to his cheek!

This isn't to say he'll shove you off of him if you come to hug him, but he will give you a gentle reminder as he gives you a soothing but small rub to your arm before pulling back.

BUT behind closed doors/away from prying eyes?? He will take your loving in strides! (he still gets flustered when you hold hands) The hero will let you smother him until he does need to take a step back to calm down--

His favourite acts of affection to receive (tho he wont admit it) are kisses on the tips of his fingers while you cup his names! He doesn't know why but the act just makes him melt

He still struggles a lot when it comes to giving and receiving love, so please be patient with him!

Speaking of giving love, I see Time as the type of fella that uses gifts as a way to express himself!! He sees an object/item that reminds him of you? Oops, it's in his pocket now :3! You've been taking about this one really rare item to add to your collection? Oh how strange, Time had this little thing laying around, here ya go!

The hero also enjoys just...being in the same room as you! You both could be do your own little tasks, not talking or even sitting that close, but he'll enjoy the company you give him! It might seem strange to others but the simple fact that Time knows your there and within reach is just so...comforting?

The boys have used Time's love and affection for you as a way to protect themselves from his wrath LMAO

Like, World of Realm (link) will be hauling ass as they're running away from the furious spirit until they catch sight of you!! Their saving grace!!

And before you know it, two shaking heroes are hid behind you as your dashing lover comes to a screeching halt infront of you. All you can do is give him a raised eyebrow and curious smirk and boom! legendary hero defeated (turned in a small flustered mess)

But that's not to say you don't quietly chew out the two heroes! Nono! Time is still your lover and you don't appreciate the heroes riling him up so much. This tends to end up with u pull the heroes along to give the hero an apology (if they actually did do something to make him angry/upset) when you darling had the chance to calm down.

Overall, you're relationship is one that starts slow as the hero gets used to being loved once more. It's a lot of figuring out what does and doesn't work within your relationship and how to navigate those challenges!

But even with the difficulties, the hero can and will love you with his full heart (no matter how cold the others say it is) and will do everything in his power to make sure you're kept safe and happy!

[dragons-hoard-of-fandoms]

Well, that...

That was something. (Cut 'cuz spoilers. Long. Small angry rant near the end.)

I can't really say it was bad, but, y'know, can't say it was all that fantastic either. Just doesn't feel like the "conclusion" it was promised as - which is honestly understandable, given that the new show is on its way. And, y'know, having to pack everything into only eleven minutes doesn't really grant ya much wiggle room. I feel like there'd be a much better payoff if it had more time to work with - twenty-two minutes like the Wil Film seasons, or a full TV movie.

It's definitely more satisfying than "Endings," tho, so I'll give it that.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I wish we'd gotten more of Oni Lloyd. Considering it was being hyped up as this big final ultimate form that may or may not end up rampaging across the city, destroying everything in sight as Lloyd takes out all the anger and frustrations that have been building up within him probably since this whole "destiny" nonsense was dropped on him, enacting a role reversal of the Kryptarium fight when Garmadon tries to face him only to finally understand exactly how he made his son feel back then when (despite Garm actually genuinely giving his all) Lloyd nearly kills him, has him by the throat and tells him "I have no father," while the Ninja are forced to confront the possibility that the only way to save their friend is to destroy him...

Yeah, Lloyd going full Oni for like five seconds only to immediately back out before actually doing anything was a letdown. But who knows, maybe they'll come back to it in the new series. Get on it, writers! Let our boy go crazy go stupid! Don't make this another Tornado of Creation!

Garmadon's second redemption certainly has room to grow. He's clearly trying, and I appreciate that, but I wish he'd made a more obvious effort that he was trying to reconcile with his son. I get that he can't just come right out and say it, not when he still can't quite comprehend just what "it" is, and I get that Lloyd wouldn't be able to just roll over and forgive him, not when he's probably still having nightmares about Seasons Eight through Ten and his whole original motivation from Season One is now his greatest fear... But still. I totally called that Christofern was serving as a stand-in for Lloyd when it came to Garmadon's feelings about him, but it felt like they were trying to push it from an allegory to a literal - pretty much any time Garm's ability to care was called into question, Christofern was the example given. The only arguable exception is that one scene with Nya, but even then, it's deflected onto Christofern so bluntly that's it's practically calling us stupid for thinking Garmadon's empathy could extend beyond his plant.

Again, tho, the new series still has a chance to remedy this. Sensei Garmadon could still return to us in some form. The Dragon half could still claw his way out of the Departed Realm, reunite with the Oni, and give Lloyd his real dad again. I like to imagine Garmadragon has been barreling across the multiverse screaming "HAVE YOU SEEN MY SON" for the past eight seasons, and the only reason he hasn't shown up yet is because there are a lot more than fourteen Realms out there. He could still turn up.

Look all I'm saying is Lloyd and Garmadon's Oni heritage has gotten its time in the spotlight, give the Dragons their turn. And while you're at it, acknowledge Wu's inhuman qualities for once. He's DragOni too.

Other Stuff I Don't Have As Much to Say About:

"Compatible" really doesn't hit as hard as Tommy was trying to convince us it would. IDK, maybe what with Zane dying every other weekend we're just desensitized to the whole ordeal. It was cute, tho, I certainly won't deny that.

Clutch still has Nadakhan's teapot. Is that ever gonna be relevant or

I can't believe they had Zane fight Mr. F and not reveal Mr. F as Echo. What do we gotta do to make them bring back Echo?!

Did they really think revealing the Overlord was responsible for the Devourer was some big unexpected twist? Pretty certain we all gathered that WAY back the first two seasons.

On that note, WOW was she-whose-name-we-do-not-speak-in-this-household's heel-face turn stupid. You were literally working with the dude who released the Devourer in the first place! If it was so easy for you to blame Lloyd for that, you should've been able to trace it back to the Overlord right from the start!

Yes I still despise she-whose-name-we-do-not-speak-in-this-household with every fiber of my being. Yes I still would've laughed and cheered if she had been murdered on-screen in such a brutal and violent manner that it never would've been allowed on television if they weren't Legos. Yes I still want Lloyd to go on an insane Oni-powered rampage with her as the first and only casualty. No I am not sorry and no I will never forgive her and no I will never accept her as anything other than the thing that ruined Garmadon. SHE IS NOT HIS DAUGHTER AND NEVER WILL BE AND I WOULD GLADLY REWRITE THE ENTIRE SHOW FROM SCRATCH TO PREVENT HER FROM EVER EXISTING

Can't say I was expecting the Ninja to lose their powers again (I figured they would've permanently gone full Dragon or something - another "dead without actually dying" case à la Nya turning into the ocean), but, y'know, can't say I'm too shocked by it either. Last time this happened was, what, Season Five? If anything they were overdue.

All in all, a decent end to a season and an alright end to an era, but not so much to an entire series like it's being billed as. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and I've definitely seen worse finales (*cough cough* Star vs. the Forces of Evil *cough*), but that's not to say there isn't any wasted potential here. Maybe there wouldn't have been such high expectations if it hadn't been played up as this heart-wrenching, soul-crushing eleven-minute epic. Maybe if it'd lived up to the hype I wouldn't be writing this. Or maybe regardless of how things turned out, there would always be a little disappointment mixed into it. Who's to say, really.

Either way, the 2023 series certainly has a lot to live up to, and a fairly solid foundation to build off of. There's still a few loose ends to tie up, plot points to resolve, mysteries to uncover, stories to finish. What's up in the other Realms? Where are the Time Twins? Will we ever see Morro again?

We're just gonna have to wait and see, I suppose.

[hqbaby]

full disclosure i'm sick af rn, i just woke up to post the chap HAHAHHA i'll get to your asks and comments when i wake up again i promise :")

your responses are sending me into overdrive tho. i rly appreciate you all!!! thank you for reading <3

[bradycore]

ok i know that you may not like destiel, but i promise you, as a fellow sam stan, the second half, especially the last couple chapters, of to become a man goes fucking wild for sam. it drives me feral even to this day. no spoilers tho.

when i was reading this fic, i would refer to to exist again because the interconnectivity is off the charts. the dialogue from the two fics are the same but the perspectives are different, so reading to exist again only or to become a man only is completely different experience off what is basically the same series. its like how arrested development's orginal formatting final season had all the different perspectives and jokes set up in each episode that didnt make sense until you watched the entire thing. and it is hilarious. the setup, which seem offhanded and weird pieces of dialogue in to exist again become key plot elements in to become a man. and deans perspective of magic is so different from sam's and cas. you just get a really good feel for how much of a freak sam is and how normal dean is in a world full of magic. it just adds another layer to world building.

and the fic addresses all of the issues i have about dean. it doesnt just wave a wand and make him unproblematic, but demenior makes dean work for it. he has character arc. he is not perfect at the end, but he is trying and that is what is important. and you also gotta to read to become a man just because of the whole cliff hanger for to exist again. once the to become a man has caught up with to exist again. i mean. the answers are definitely worth the wait.

i can tell you what specific chapters that are important for sam. i never reread the fic in its entirety but only to specific chapters that drive me, as a sam stan, insane. but its also the little moments between the major sam plot points that treat sam and deans relationship with such care and fucked-up-ness that i would recommend that you dont. you got to find the parts that drive you insane yourself

oh my god. i almost forgot about dem's characterization of purgatory. i dont want to spoil it, but it really expands on the wrongness of the leviathans and purgatory that supernatural never was able too.

and overarching themes. the overarching themes. its fucking beautiful and ties up everything so well. sam and dean have their own themes and arcs (which you can pretty much get from their story titles) that complement each other so well with the overarching message (the love it takes). it is wild. no it is well thought and planned.

warning: there is eldritch monster sex scenes in to become a man. you can skip it if you are not into it. there are warnings at the top of those chapters.

i could write essays about to exist again and to become a man. i could talk about them all day.

and it was such a joy reading it in real time. the theories and analyses that the readers made comment section for each chapter. the real time interactions with the author. it just made the experience so much better. and the music. oh the music that goes with this fic.

if i were you, i would reread to exist again whenever the timeline matches up with to become a man. it so worth it.

and the dem shares many of your cas/angel headcannons that are fully fleshed out in this fic.

oh and @demenior has little fics of the love it takes on their tumblr (this fic series is why i joined tumblr the first time around).

wow hello!!! it would be a mess to try and respond to each part of this individually but i read all of it closely and rlly appreciate the breakdown!!! i could rave about to exist again all day for the rest of time (the lorebuilding alone holy shit??? seriously its. im. its SO good.) and you make an excellent case for to become a man (congrats on ur lawboy coding) so clearly i will just have to reread the former and read the latter as soon as possible

✷ txt when they see a pregnant belly !

ﾉ txt! x fem!reader... WARNING — there's one fuck and shit ton of weird train of thoughts . ⋆〞WORD COUNT: three hundred and eighty four........ ME? i don't take any responsibility for what ive written and YOU will find me writing something that completely contradicts in the future so don't be shocked. it's just for fun. also fun fact (?!) ive only seen one pregnant belly in my entire lifetime.

yeonjun…

takes a double look.

and again.

but not like in a creepy way

it's more like wow the wonderful miracles of life.

probably gets a stink eye from the pregnant lady because was unknowingly side-eyeing them.

suddenly gets a surge of baby fever.

probably closes his eyes as few stray tears slip out as he promises to himself to become the best father in this world.

and then he gets into a conflict with himself because what if his life partner does not want a child.

would that be a deal breaker for him?

or would he be able to compromise?

gives himself a concussion at the hypothetical discussion despite being single as fuck.

soobin…

doesn't really care much.

beomgyu…

starts thinking about what the couple may have done for her to end up pregnant.

tries to be discreet but kind of starts giggling.

because he's still mentally eleven years old of course.

may or may not have cops called on him because he kind of zoned out and was staring at the pregnant woman with a sinister grin on his lips.

gets dragged away by the cops at the end anyway and yeonjun has to bail him out.

taehyun…

doesn't try to acknowledge the pregnant lady.

it's more like when creditors are trying to get your attention to ask for the money you borrowed.

instead he is the one who gets approached.

i guess there's something about him that screams being an expert at natal care.

actually gets along with the to-be mother and sings to the belly.

gets called to be with the family when she goes into labour.

and actually shows up.

because a real man never breaks promises.

huening kai…

does not make eye contact.

at all cost.

if taehyun was like, avoiding money lenders.

his one is more like avoiding the evil spirit trying to take over his body.

idk there's something about a real tiny living human squirming inside another living person walking around like it's just another normal thing scares the shit out of him.

might run for the hills if he gets approached by them.

apparently he once saw his little sister kick his mother's belly from inside and he has not been the same since about the pregnancy deal.

he respects the community tho.

[romanticbat]

May I request a story with the adult female reader being an unwilling instructor at vile for chemistry and physics and both Malestrom and Roundabout fall for her? Also the reader really liking everyone there but having trouble due to being a very morally good person?

Of course! I have some troubles with Roundabout's and Maelstrom's personality so I will do my best

Warnings: slight angst maybe, I also probably taked a little much creativity liberties with Reader's little backstory, I AM SORRY BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A LITTLE YANDERE FOR MAELSTROM...

You are a instructor in VILE, you used to be a scientist, of course, USED to be. You didn't even knew how you ended in this place, using the place of a ninja in a table full of criminals, you helped them before tought, of course with the wish of finding a better job, the sweet sound of the promise they filled your ears with.

You loved your students! Truly, but you didn't really knew if they truly respected you and not just tried to pretend they did only because everytime they opened the doors of the faculty room, you were there, your eyes curious about why they wanted to talk to the rest of the faculty, criminals who wanted this, and maybe to you too, the one who didn't even asked for something for the operatives to steal, not even the most priceless thing was stealed by them to give it to you. Maybe that personality and moral was what attracted Gunnar to you, he watched every move you maded since you started helping VILE even before Shadowsan left, how you tried your best to look the 'kind' part of all this, how you almost hissed to yourself after making the most slight of bad things, you were a kind soul, trying to understand him, listen to him and his rants about psychology and marine life, this wasn't a place for someone like you and he perfectly knew that but it was better protecting you about the bad comments of some persons because of your morals and having you at his side when a 'rival' appeared.

Roundabout falled for you more faster that you could expect probably, he appreciated your kind and caring soul in this asociation full of criminales and he showed it, taking you to his country and giving you cute and fancy things to wear, you didn't have to know than that piece of jewelry was the propiety of some rich person before you used it tought... Not when you used it so happily thinking it was something buyed by your dear friend while you two drinked tea.

Maelstrom is experienced with the human mind so it's not really a surprise when he realized Roundabout was in love with you even before Roundabout himself realized it.

You were sitting with Roundabout, enjoying the wind of the afternoon "Thank you Roundabout, I loved this ring" you said with a genuine smile in your lips "It's nothing my dear, really" he said with a lovestruck smile before hearing your phone gived my VILE ring "Oh sorry, I have to attend this" you said, putting your cup in the table again before clicking the accept button, being received by Maelstrom's voice "-code name- we need you here the faster posible" Gunnar said, hidding any signs of his crush in you "Of course, I will be there" you answered him before getting off of the call and putting it in your pocket "Sorry, I think I couldn't finish my tea, I have to go now" you said with a sorry face "It's ok, we can do this another day, I can acompay you if you wish tho" "I would love that" and with that you two waited for the helicopter to come, he guesses the roses will have to wait for next time.

You arrived and Gunnar was waiting for you in his room "Oh, sorry Roundabout I don't think I called you too" He said in a passive-Aggresive tone, Roundabout looked at him with a slight angry face before closing the door "Sorry for interrupting your rest, I think the meeting canceled just before you arrived the isle" he said in a false sorry tone, why should be he sad too? This just means more time with you without being interrupted "Do you want to listen more about sea creatures?

anj ur fics are so fun and well-crafted i am a huge secret admirer of them who has been following u for a yr (and i respect the dilf prof anthony agenda frfr it's always the english depts too getting called daddy thank u for this homage) but omfg as someone in the humanities phd track, i cannot help but ask why kate is so young for a prof???? esp since almost all humanities profs start a fulltime teaching position at 28-30 yrs old minimum... i had a hard time imagining how 25 yr old would allowed to teach as a professor full-time by effect of her 'merit' unless it's some exploitative semi-illegal gag clause contingency hidden in her contract that renders her basically a 'pre-'grad student but w/o even their flimsy benefits n protections which actually usually is the case... 😭😭 knowing the dysfunctional politics embedded in uk and north american tenure systems, i unfortunately couldnt get past it! but looking forward to ur milf kate writing, hope u dont find this question too nosy or offensive lol (i enjoyed the fic for what it is hehe) i realize traumatized phds r probs not the target audience of this fic nor entitled to an explanation for why ur not reading and incorporating paywalled exposes of uni working conditions into a fic but was still curious if u were just taking reference from a different context or more ethical precedent of academic labor (which may ease my conscious reading it haha). tysm!

First of all—thank you! I appreciate you reading and being a secret admirer (tho I promise I don’t bite, ur always welcome to say hey!). I appreciate it 💘

Second of all—lmfao I was wondering when I’d get this ask or comment 😭😭😭😭😭 I just knew there’d be some poor phd student or some professor reading this fic who’d be like “hang on… what’s that?” and the answer I’ve got for you is let’s have a healthy dose of suspension of complete disbelief because it was the only way I could make this work 🤓

I wanted it to be an age gap because I wanted to write an age gap but I didn’t want there to be too horrible of a power imbalance that would definitely come with it being a student/professor relationship. That was just too far for me to personally go, even though with the ages I have them at, it would be the most realistic thing. Idk making them student/professor made me feel icky. I suppose I could’ve made her work some admin job within the university but I really liked the idea of them both teaching, and I originally planned on having him sort of rediscover his own love of teaching thanks to her enthusiasm. For some background (this didn’t make it into the fic, but I did hint at it); Anthony specializes in teaching a lot of western lit canon/comp lit things and Kates specializes in post-colonial lit/Asian American lit, and I liked the idea of her challenging his perspectives and changing up some of the ways he approaches his work and the things he assigns, and that all helping him rediscover his love of teaching as well. There’s a repeated theme in this oneshot of rebirth; how love can find us at unexpected times and make the world feel brand new again. I kinda heavy-handedly drove the theme home when he says I love you and I write that it washes over Kate like rainwater in spring—a sort of nod to baptism/rebirth imagery, a nod to rain being necessary for renewal even though she’s afraid of storms but the storm scene is a huge turning point for them, and rain and springtime and rebirth etc lol. ANYWAYS—all this to say, I really do try and make things as realistic as possible, because that matters to me and I like world building and tbh I do get paranoid that someone might read my fic and go “oh well that’s wrong, a mechanic would never say that” or something lol, but it is fanfiction land and I do have to make some concessions to make the story work in the way I want it to work, and I sort of ended up here lol! Trust me, though, I totally hear you; I was an English major myself (if you couldn’t tell) with a concentration in post-colonial lit and a minor in poli-sci and for a while I thought I’d get my masters or a PhD in the humanities and then teach, before a professor discouraged me from it bc ya know this is the US and that usually means a lot of debt and no teaching positions lol. But all that to say—I totally hear you! It’s not realistic and it’s icky if you work/study in it and know exactly what the dark and ugly side of academia looks like! But most folks probably didn’t catch that bc no one really knows what it’s like until you’re in it tbh. I tried to sort of make it work by having her have these two masters degrees (again, insane) and be some sort of wunderkind and exciting new voice in the post-colonial lit field that Agatha just had to bring on lmao. Basically it’s not perfect and it doesn’t totally work irl, but it’s not too big of a plot point besides getting them in the same place, and it’s not a huge focus, just in the background as they’re grading things or walking around campus, and I hope it doesn’t totally impede your ability to read it, but I totally understand if it does 😭

Hi! I’m lowkey v nervous writing this but-

You are honestly my favorite caratdeobi author and I cannot stress it ENOUGH how much I genuinely love your writing and I’m so glad to be an OG of your blog LOLOL I have kept up with your work and have read each one religiously cause they for real feel like they’re made with such care and love and they evoke such emotion in me that I can’t achieve in my day to day life rip :,)

Confession time tho, I actually took a break from reading fics for about a year/year and a half but when I came back I was a freshly turned deobi and ate all your TBZ fics UPPPPP I was so happy esp since it seems like there isn’t as many tbz fics on tumblr as I thought there would be 😔 (if you have some recs then pls lmk!)

Idk why I’m just saying this now but your blog will always be near and dear to my heart and I am always looking forward to crying, kicking my feet, laughing or getting heart palpitations from your next fic so THANK YOU for being such an amazing writer and for sharing your works with us 🥺 I hope this blog never disappears or gets taken over by a bot during one of my fic breaks cause that will devastate me to no end 😭

All in all, (tried to conclude this like 3 times now JEEZ) I hope that you always feel loved and appreciated and never forget how someone out there (me) will never stop loving your works! If there is a million viastro stans, I’m one of them. If there’s 500 viastro stans, I’m one of them. If there’s 5 viastro stans, I’m one of them. If there’s 1 viastro stan, that’s me. If there’s no viastro stan (impossible), then that means I’m dead.

KK LOVE YA LOTS BYEEEEEE TIME TO READ YOUR WHOLE ML AGAIN 🤭
