ok this might be a dumb request but ughh please bear with me bc I had this dream of it and oof it was hot ✨️😂 ok so yeonjun being lucifer, the big devil man finds out he has a soul mate, who is yn, and he like commands her to give him all of her and live with him in the underworld and during their sexy time she said yes 😅 it was spicy! But yeah I'd appreciate it in your writing style lol
This gives me Hades and Persephone vibes, love this idea.
also this has some religious themes so be aware!
--nsfw--
Yeonjun is a king, an evil barbarian that rules the hells, feeds off people’s fears of one day ending up in his kingdom being his faithful servant. Standing on a porch of his crumbling castle, he looks over the fiery fields finding the screams... boring. Yeonjun needed something, was it blood? revenge? no, it was sex! His blood curdles more than usual thinking about taking time for the devil himself. He had all the supplies and people to please him but he wanted something more.
Thats when he decides to travel up to the mortal world. Amongst the transportation, dark hues of red changes to earthy browns then Yeonjun is hit with the aching brightness of God's creation, the sun. Yeonjun's burgundy skin turns tan, his crisp hair into raven black silk, black eyes turn into softer brown ones, and his usual exposed body was covered by a black suit. It was time, time to find his soulmate.
Walking around the town he was transported to he finds humans entertaining, and weirdly crime increases since he's been there. Yeonjun laughs at the innocent people being controlled by evil something they're not used to so they end up doing a poor job of stealing a car, throwing rocks that miss, being caught in their lies. Yeonjun's attention from the dreadful sight was caught when he sees you. You were dressed in all black just like him standing in front of a church. He watches closely to your expression, it was full of disgust. Yeonjun was surprised, a beautiful angelic women like you in distaste looking at such a holy thing.
Yeonjun glides closer to you, "Disliking the view?" you chuckle at the man's question.
"Uhh yeah, is it that obvious?" you stop to look at the man and fall embarrassed, he was devilishly handsome.
"I was never one for God's good deeds and begging for them." You quirk an eyebrow at the man's comment. "I'm Yeonjun, what brings you to this sickening church?" he asks but already knows why when you shake his hand, he saw your uncle arrive in hell not too long ago.
"My family member died and well, I don't have a good background in the church"
"That makes two of us" Yeonjun's smiles warms your heart, slight flutter fills your stomach when you see a hint of his fangs from the toothy grin.
This is the girl, this is his soulmate, now how to make her to go to hell with Yeonjun, he's going to have to figure that one out in his own terms.
---
The cold air envelopes the town as the sun fades away and the night is in full bloom. After the funeral, you spent the rest of the day doing errands but sulking about not asking out the beautiful man.
You twist and turn in your bed not being able to sleep, but you must have drifted off when you lift your head to see a shadowy figure. The moon's rays in your room usually shine cool blues but right now the room was illuminating red. The color takes over your vision in a haze suddenly feeling hot. Paying no mind at the sleep paralysis demon you start to take off your clothes stopping yourself from getting overheated.
You look over at the shadow once more too comfortable with its presence, "What, are you an incubus or something?"
A dark chuckle escapes the shadow making you shiver, "Oh y/n you know exactly what to say."
Yeonjun gets closer to your area of vision, crawling on the bed to hover over you. You lost all common sense, you felt no reason to ask how he got in your house, you didn't stop his hand from caressing your naked skin, you even failed to care that he was undressed this whole time. His feature were so close to yours, admiring his seductive eyes, the curve of his cheeks, his plump lips that were so close to yours. You try to lean in for a kiss but he backs away.
"Before you can have me, you have to give me all of you and live with me in the underworld for eternity."
Conflicted, you stop for a moment, giving up your whole life for a man you just met? You weighed the pros and cons but the longer you let the devil wait the more you mind begins to fog. His hands explored your body, lightly pinching your nipples, digging into the plush flesh of your thighs, lips turning into bites against your neck. You have forgotten your place on earth, Yeonjun wasn't heaven he was lustful hell that you fully have given into.
Yeonjun relaxes your body down into your sheets kissing you passionately. You open your eyes to look at him again only to find that your weren't in your room anymore, you were in hell. Blackened cobblestone walls surround you, with arched windows that look down to a world like looked like you were inside lava.
Looking back at Yeonjun his tan skin was now red, cheek bones heightened, forehead adorned with long sharp horns. You accepted you fate with your soulmate as you wrap your hand around his big cock lining it along your wet aching hole. "For eternity." The devil smiles pushing into you, deliciously stretching you while biting deep into your collarbone as a sign of claim.
A nuisance,
TxT's Devil

Hiya! I absolutely love your spreadsheet, it gives me such joy to use and I also delight in seeing it arrive every end of year (one of the best gifts!). I was wondering if you would give us a little behind the scenes? What is your process like in developing it? What makes you decide to add in a new category (love the new addition of time btw!!). I really just love it but wanted to ask about it and find out from the mind behind the magic!
Hey @candybarrnerd!
I swear, I have seen this Ask, I have just been trying to remember enough to say something useful and entertaining! Sadly, my original spreadsheets from 2012 through uhh... 2015... seem to have been lost, although I did just think of another location to check (which I shall do shortly).
HAH I found them. Cool. I do see blank spreadsheets starting immediately with 2013, but do not remember when I started to share them. Through 2016 at least, the blank sheets are dated uhhh early January. So. I feel like mid-December is a definite win now!
In 2012, my base goal was to create something to help me track my writing and tell me that I was moving forward, kind of like NaNo did in November. The spreadsheet looked super different in terms of tabs. I didn’t even have the NaNo style graph then! The Wordcount, Daily Graph, and Monthly Graph tabs look pretty much the same. I had tabs to track things I had posted as well. 
It’s almost identical in 2013--I hadn’t started tracking year to year, yet, either! However, the Monthly Totals tab has a goal, and words to goal, for the first time, along with an average/day. I’d started to notice that ups and downs were good, and started thinking about goals, but hadn’t yet made it to pledges and automating the spreadsheet.
Tumblr media
In 2014, with the third year going, I decided I wanted to see how things matched up between the years. Especially since 2013 was such a weirdly productive year (never happened again). The first early Annual Comparison tab came in that year--no totals, just a chart that kind of showed how they matched up, along with an average.
Tumblr media
That was also the year that the AO3 stats page first appeared, which I am pretty sure was in response to the meme that goes around. I was like. I have a place to keep that information so I can see how it changes over the years!
2015 brought in pledges! In its first form, I just wanted those NaNo style charts, and the pledges were place on that tab. It pulled numbers from wordcount, but nothing was really automated yet. But I had my pretty charts finally.
Tumblr media
I mean seriously. These were why I made the sheet originally back in 2012 and i didn’t actually implement them until 2015!
In 2016 I realized I wanted to see the totals for each year on the Annual Comparison page. Like. that seems obvious? Yet. It took me that long...
Tumblr media
In 2017 the spreadsheet as it is, mostly, came into being. The color coding was added due to, I think, a conversation with @froggydarren who had implemented it in their copy and showed me. I may not have shared that until 2018--keep in mind, me using something may predate sharing it by a year.
But in 2017, in my spreadsheet, I brought in the way the Monthly Totals tab looks now (without instructions) so a pledge could be set there, then it carries automagically into the Pledges tab for graphing and calculations. 
Why? I AM LAZY. I wanted it to get easier and easier to use. More instinctive to see what was working and what wasn’t. Easier to put numbers in one place and everything else be automated.
2018 continued as is. In 2019, I started adding more automation with a year end date, and being able to recalculate words to goal on the Monthly Totals page based on where we were in the year and current progress. 2020 brought in the Range/Median on the Annual Comparison tab. All of this was driven by me just... wanting to see more information. I like numbers, but mostly, I like a visual way of knowing I’m okay, even if I feel like I’m not.
Like I say: ZERO DAYS ARE OKAY.
2021 brought a few changes. For one, I started embedding instructions in the spreadsheet itself because y’know, it’s big. And confusing. And I wanted to be helpful as folks were using it! I had realized by that point that it had gained a life of its own, and that is SO AWESOME I also added the Weekly Graph tab based on a conversation in the @weekendwritingmarathon Discover server.
All 2022 brought was a refinement to the instructions provided, and 2023 of course refined those even further by creating documentation on Google Drive so I don’t have to retype everything every year (PHEW).
Time was added this year purely as a reaction to the hell that I went through in 2022. A year ago (today), my mom fell. Everything went haywire after that, taking care of my folks, and I’m just really recovering. There’s been a lot. So much. And I also had a lot of projects that were time intensive but not words.
Remember what I said about feedback? I needed to know I was moving forward. So. TIME. I can now see that hour I spent working on my author site, or critiquing, or the next @welcometophu Kickstarter coming in the summer, or any other publication things (like EDITING jeebus that takes forever).
Pretty much, every enhancement I’ve made comes down to: - it’s pretty - it’s easy to see/visual - I’m lazy and it does it for me - I need to see progress in a new way - I want to make it easier to share
So uhhh that may not have been as entertaining as you’d hoped, but I found it really interesting to look back at my first spreadsheets. I’d have to go really digging to figure out when I first started sharing it... that’s one thing I don’t know. Because I created the blank copy for myself anyway, and I think I started sharing once because I was talking about it, and someone asked, and I was like SURE HERE and posted it. And so. Here we are.
<3 Thanks for asking, and I’m really glad you like it!!!

watchlist tag game!
tagged by @telomeke !
got a bit long so behind the cut
Currently watching -
A Boss and a Babe (Thailand 2023 / GMMTV) - watching this weekly. ok . LISTEN. I said some stuff in the tags of my first reblog about this series, when i had only seen the trailer, basically that it looked like they absolutely nailed what they were going for in terms of the tone, the dynamic, the chemistry, that it might be a bit silly but it looked GOOD. and . i stand by this!
I know there are people who aren't enjoying it... there always are. There are also people who have beef with Force & Book's previous series who are carrying that prejudice into this show. (imo enchante's biggest crime was that filter they used. everyone looking weirdly smooth. freaky tbh.) (also the last 2 eps were basically unnecessary but let's not get into it.) I feel like I saw a lot of people esp. at the beginning making excuses for watching ABAAB - saying well of course it's not good it's not doing anything new, someone even saying 'it's so bad it's good' - which baffles me lol. SO not how I feel about it! it's good! if you like it just accept it; if it's not for you it's not for you.
any way . Force + Book have really nice chemistry, great at showing the characters' comfort / ease / gentle loving care for each other without a lot of fireworks or histrionics. And tbh not a lot of like - tension even! they're too comfortable for there to be tension! eg. the scene where Cher helps Gun unbutton his shirt and they both go very quiet about it. & the scene where Gun accidentally crashes cher's livestream and he's not even really mad about it. It feels kind of like My School President in the tone it's going for, in that it's a bit silly and light but there is some substance beneath it and it can be cute but actually not overly NICE. And it feels like it's progressing towards a more natural idea of how a relationship develops than certain older bl which can be a bit all or nothing (eg. i JUST watched tonhon chonlatee .. scream) And this is surely gmmtv's first office bl since Sotus S which was five years ago? w/ever I feel like this series is maybe a bigger deal than it looks. Also it's a perfect non stressful weekly watch. (really feel like i almost DIED watching NLMG week to week.) check back in with me in uhh six weeks or whenever it's done.
Our Dating Sim (South Korea 2023 / Viki) - watching bc people on my dash were really into it. I'm two eps in and it's well done but it's not making me CRAZY the way I always want to be made crazy. I do love the k-bl short series format and the k-bl style of storytelling often gets to me quite intensely so I'm hopeful.
Bokura no Shokutaku/ Our Dining Table (Japan 2023) - one ep in. made me crave onigiri soso bad. I haven't read the original manga so I am watching fresh, no expectations. the first ep was totally delightful.
SUCCESSION - watching it weekly with one of my siblings . if u follow me u will know I am deeply into it & even a little weird about it & have been since november 2020. hashtag tomgreg rights hashtag kenstewy rights hashtag tomshiv rights. here's my hot take: in some ways i think the most recent ep was BETTER than the previous one.
Riverdale - watching it weekly ... admittedly usually while doing something else eg cooking. Listen. Riverdale is.. not explainable in any sensible way. If you know you know. Many things about it are stupid and unbearable but its derangement is unparalleled and i appreciate that. Almost no one is a full 3-d character it's like watching puppets.
How To with John Wilson - I absolutely love this series, it's on iPlayer in the UK but I think it's originally HBO. ep 1.6 How To Make Risotto actually haunts me. framed as a series of tutorials, it veers and goes off on tangents, in form it's kind of like visual essays edited together from .. fairly random footage shot on the streets of New York. with a lot of visual gags.
Looking forward to watching soon -
Our Skyy 2 ... truly .... I am going to be so insufferable for the next eight weeks. I'm planning to watch all of it - the only series I haven't watched is Star In My Mind. i WAS most anticipating the ATOTS episodes because i just want to see phupha + tian again. But NLMG and Eclipse and MSP look like they're doing some absolutely wild & funky things so yeah i am excited for all of it.
Only Friends - I think they've just started work on it right? but yeah. looking forward to getting a little unhinged about this.
The Eighth Sense - tbh I think i'm going to wait for it to finish before I watch it. I need some of the discourse to die down a bit so I can go in with the right frame of mind.
Still deciding if I’m gonna watch
Probably most of the upcoming GMMTV series I'll at least try but generally I like to read a few reactions before going in.

ok so i will get to your other ask later bUT I SAW AN INVITATION TO SHARE MY IDEAS ABOUT THE DARK MOON BOYS HIDING OUT IN A TRAVELING CIRCUS AND BY GOD I WILL TAKE IT. anyways i imagine this happening pretty soon after the escape, where they do have a pretty good handle on their powers (they’ve had them since birth, anyway) but are still grappling with the vampire bit a little and just need to Sit for a while and Think without arousing either civilian or orphanage suspicions, which is really hard to do if you’re trying to brainwash people into letting you stay by their homes or hopping into a different barn every night. but when they see the tent of a traveling circus pop up on the outside of whatever town they’ve landed in, heli and jakah look at each other and just Know. it’s almost too easy.
a circus provides both a stable living situation but with Constant movement as it goes from town to town- gives them time to think without worrying about the orphanage finding them since they’re here today and gone tomorrow. and as for civilian suspicion, the circus is where all the (for lack of a better word) “freaks” go. the outcasts, people who are Different and ran away. either way, it makes for a more interesting act the freakier you are. so it’s safe, mostly
and for once, they’re not freaks. they’re just another circus act, weirdly normal. they’re so used to blending their powers with play and daily life it’s second nature- shion’s mesmerization plus heli’s telepathy makes for a good fortune teller stand (im imagining the kind of circus with like . a fair set up outside the tent with booths? one of those old-style ones). come to think of it the anti-grav would make shion a good tightrope walker and heli could learn the sword swallowing trick (to explain why he carries his mysterious big sword around all the time). noa can climb just about anything and can use his shadow powers to build a reputation as an escape artist (“you blink and he’s disappeared! vanished into the shadows!), solon’s got a special touch with animals so he teams up with the lion tamer, jakah and jaan have the classic super speed and super strength, and jino :D jino is the best fire-eater the circus has ever seen ! he does the “jump through the ring of fire” thing every show without fail and comes out grinning every time. and remember that thing we mentioned with the kitchens and jino scaring the shit out of someone by crab-walking in? probably bc he picked up some skills from the circus’s actual contortionist and enjoys using it still! i imagine the circus as a more peaceful era for them because for once their powers don’t put targets on their backs. BUT what if . what if that’s where they learn the hard lesson that just because someone has powers that doesn’t make them “one of us.” i have an idea of them living (relatively) happily at the circus and becoming closer to the crew, learning their stories and sharing some of their own, and getting close to someone particular who may have powers like them, but they end up being an informant and the orphanage shows up to drag the boys away, and in the battle they have to watch their beloved circus burn to the ground
- vrvr anon
YES YES GIMME. ik ive waited uhh,, *checks calender* FIVE DAYS to answer this but it still remains that i have been extremely excited to answer it whenever i finally got around to stopping forgetting about it.
this is so much!!! its SO MUCH and to be clear i mean that very very affectionately. im like that shark in the part of a fisherman's boat where they put all the fish they catch. a travelling circus would be SO PERFECT for them, especially early on, because like you said, its both a stable living situation AND provides constant movement, which is exactly what the vampires need to stay under the orphanage's radar. the brothers can actually SETTLE for once without having to worry about constantly having eyes on the back of their head (except, WHOOPS, the irony.. not that they know it yet). and, since its earlier on in their travelling days, maybe there not so accustomed to being on the run yet, and a consistent living situation is like a call home to them...
all the acts you came up with for them are so impeccably fitting-- shion and heli as fortune tellers! shion as a tightrope walker! jino as the circus's best fire-swallower/dancer YES!! and heli learning the sword-swallowing trick would be so neat (to be honest im still not entirely sure how that works LMAO). i can also picture shion as a trapeze swinger or silk aerialist because, again, assistance from his anti-grav powers would help him pull off those acts flawlessly. and maybe he and jino could do the jumping-through-a-ring-of-fire act together-- jino ignites the hoop, and shion uses his anti-gravity to jump through! aND YES JINO PICKING UP TECHNIQUES FROM THE CIRCUS'S CONTORTIONIST THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEA :0!!!
i have so many thoughts about the brothers just. LIVING in a travelling circus. like if its one of those ones where they travel from town to town in a procession of carriages, the brothers probably have their own caravan where they sleep, eat, get ready for shows, everything-- theyre all (or mostly at least) in different acts and usually different acts get sectioned off into different caravans, but because they're brothers they arranged to live together (and if the caravan provides a safe place for them to let loose with their powers in nobody but each others' presence, none of their colleagues have to know). i can imagine heli getting REALLY good with the little kids that come up to his fortune-telling booth wanting to know their future, leading to him developing a fondness for children far into HIS future (<//3). and i bet circus life helps prepare them for the lives they don't even know they're going to have yet: they get used to making friends and then leaving them, because they know they're just going to be moving to the next town in a week, anyway. they get used to acting like people they're not and putting up fronts-- and even though it's just for fun in the circus, even though they're playing characters in their acts, the knowledge certainly comes in handy.
now though youve got me thinking about the idea of an informant being planted in the circus by the orphanage... because on the one hand, it could just be a flat-out evil/antagonistic person meant to turn the boys over to the orphanage and teach them a "lesson" about never trusting people, but also... if it's someone that has powers like the brothers do, wouldnt they have to have been made by the orphanage, too? and, yeah, maybe by now the orphanage has figured out how to give fully-formed adults magical powers via pill or whatever so it's just one of their operatives given a power to make the brothers trust them, but i like making things way more complicated than they have to be, so.
maybe the plant was raised in the orphanage, just like the boys were, only a little later on-- maybe, by now, the orphanage hasn't figured out how to give adults powers, but they HAVE figured out how to give humans powers without it killing them. so, this is a person, probably intended to be nothing but an experiment/soldier since they were basically a baby-- except, unlike the brothers, they never escaped. they were raised and turned into this soldier and then, at a certain age, they were sent out to track down the seven escaped "failures". theyve never been in the real world before, not really- never known the taste of freedom, free will, uncontrolled action. of course, they still have to stay on track to complete their mission and they have to report back to the orphanage regularly, but... theyre on their own. who's to say they cant have a little fun while they're at it? they join a travelling circus at the approval of their orphanage superiors, because, for the same reasons the brothers think it's a good place for them to hide, its an equally good place to search for them: constantly on the move, undercover, and the perfect place to hide in plain sight, the informant can search for the escapees in every town they visit without arising suspicion-- only to be surprised when the escapees come to THEM. it's almost too good to be true.
they don't act yet, though-- because they don't know for sure that its them, they dont want to be wrong and mess it all up. so they wait, biding their time, watching the seven brothers and attempting to get close enough to them for them to slip up and reveal something. as things progress, the plant and the brothers get closer and closer, the brothers opening up more and more; really, they've all but said it outright, now, the informant should just report them and be done with it. but... they're so nice-- they don't seem dangerous at all. theyre hurt, although they never talk about it; they seem so scared, all the time, of everything. and... the informant's never had a home like this before. so they wait, and wait, until the seven brothers practically give themselves up and by that point it's unavoidable. the informant completes their mission: the orphanage comes, a fight happens, the circus burns to the ground. it's an utter disaster. but the informant can't help but feel a little happy when they hear that the brothers have evaded capture once again.
also, last thing i promise, this gives me the additional sad thought of the brothers crossing paths with a survivor from the circus years later. that's a memory-wipe none of them really recover from.

The Durrell Challenge
It was another beautiful day in London , the hot sun was beaming down, melting away the morning dew. You were currently on your morning run, the fresh air was crisp against your cheeks, the music playing in your ears was set to a low volume so you could still hear the birds chirping peacefully in the trees. You were truly happy that this was your life. You were nearing the end of your route, drawing closer to Henry's house when you started to think about your relationship with him. Your relationship with Henry always made you chuckle, there wasn't anything particularly funny about it but you always found yourself laughing because you couldn't believe he was your boyfriend. The both of you had met in Henry's hometown during the Durrell Challenge, you had came first with the quickest time and Henry had come over to congratulate you, you were talking to a friend when he came over and he stood next to you awkwardly for a few minutes because he didn't want to interrupt your conversation. Your friend left a couple minutes later and you turned to him and smiled widely.
You remember thinking he was really attractive, recognising him instantly, not that you allowed him to know that.
You had asked him "did you enjoy the run?" before he even got the chance to congratulate you on your time.
"I really did yeah. Congratulations by the way, I'm Henry" he said, smiling down at you, placing his hand in yours and shaking
"Oh thanks I'm Yn. Haha. Do you do this every year then?" you said, making his eyebrows furrow slightly, he was kind of surprised you didn't know who he was. Not in a cocky way, but this was his hometown and practically everyone knew him here, they were all so friendly and didn't treat him any different from how they treated everyone else, it was the biggest reason he loved coming home so much.
"I do, you?" he said casually. There was something quite nice and comforting about how casual it was, he felt like an ordinary guy meeting an ordinary girl for the first time, it was nice.
"No actually, this is my first time , my mum and her partner retired here, so decided to take part. Raising money for the amazing cause" you said, smiling up at him, the sun began to get in your eyes so you moved slightly, so you were standing in the shade.
"Promise I'm not trying to get away from you, it's just the sun is in my eyes" you said, making him giggle as you nearly tripped when you moved backwards.
"It truly is an amazing cause, I have to say, I'm impressed" he said, making you pull a puzzled look up at him.
"How so?" you said, making him move closer to you.
"Your first run and you not only came first but I heard you raised the most money?" he said, making you chuckle and smile widely up at him. That smile, he thought, everything about you was drawing him in closer and he was so taken back by it all, he does this run every year and never has anything like this happened before, he hadn't expected anything else this year.
"I may have" you said, making him smile again.
"How did you do it?" he said. Someone tried to move past you but you were too focused on Henry that you didn't realise, making him place his hand on your shoulder to gently move you out of the way so the person could get past.
"Oh sorry" you said, to the person who walked past you, you looked back up at Henry who still had his hand on your shoulder "thanks. I'm probably the most oblivious person you'll ever meet" you said making the both of you laugh, somehow you lost your balance making you wobble slightly and making Henry grab your waist to steady you.
"And the clumsiest by the looks of it" he said making you blush and laugh as you were embarrassed.
"Oh lord, you have no idea" you said, tucking a piece of hair behind your ears. Henry looked at your blushed cheeks and smiled to himself, he thought it was sweet, again he doesn't mean to sound cocky but he's used to blushing women around him but when you blushed it sparked something inside of him, he wanted to be the one the tuck the hair behind your ear, he wanted to place a kiss to your rosy cheeks.
"uhh anyway, what was I saying? Umm oh yeah, how did you raise so much money?" he said, suddenly turning into a stuttering mess.
"Okay... I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone" you said jokingly making him giggle. What the hell? He thought, when have I ever giggled?
"Promise not to tell" he said holding his pinky finger up, you then realised he wanted to make a pinky promise so you linked yours with his. That's cute you thought. Henry coughed and crossed his arms over one another thinking about how awkward he was being, seriously Henry who still does pinky promises? He thought to himself, mental hitting himself.
You however were just focusing on how somehow his arms looked bigger when he did that.
Tumblr media
"I'm a famous movie star" you said, raising your eyebrows up at him, making him cough awkwardly. He didn't say anything for a few seconds making you throw your head back with another chuckle, you hit his chest lightly.
"I'm joking Henry. I'm on the conservation team here at Durrell, joined early last year " you said making him smile.
"And you know how I am" he said, making you place your hand on his forearm, sparks igniting there for the both of you.
"Hate to break it to you, but I think everyone here knows who you are. In fact they're all staring at us right now" you said, looking around which made Henry look around too.
"But you're so... Normal" he said making you chuckle again.
"Sorry about that. Would you rather me gawk from afar, come over and be a rambling mess and then just drool over you?" you said, you were looking up at him in the simplest way, yet it made Henry's stomach flip, your eyes twinkled as you saw Henry's lip turn up into a smirk.
"Have a feeling that's not your style" he said with a flirty tone.
"Ah, but I have a feeling it's what you're used to" you remarked back. Quick comeback he thought to himself, he liked you.
"It's refreshing honestly" he said making you roll your eyes at him, oh how he wanted to see you do that over and over, and maybe one day he'd be able to punish you for it.
"Oh I just love being called refreshing. Such a compliment, thank you Henry, I think I'm in love with you" you said, jokingly, yet his stomach did a flip again. You were cheeky and he liked that, you weren't afraid to say too much.
"Ah Henry, I see you've met our little star" one of the male race organisers who Henry recognised, his name tag read "James" said as he came over to the both of you, he placed a hand on your shoulder. Henry felt jealous for some reason, was this your boyfriend? He'd feel bad for flirting with you if it was, although he thought you were flirting back, maybe that was just your personality though, he thought. Were the two of you flirting? he then began assessing the conversation the both of you had just had, trying to work out whether you were being flirty or just nice.
"I was just congratulating her. First place for her time and the amount of money she has raised" Henry said, making him smile, his hand was still on your shoulder and oh how Henry wished he would move it.
"Ah, actually you donated the most money Henry but I guess that doesn't count does it haha" James said, making you look at him weirdly, almost giving him a warning look. The man looked at you and then back at Henry before he said "we're very thankful for all that you do here Henry. I'll leave you to it" he said walking off. You were thankful he had left and so was Henry to be honest.
"Sorry about him, that was a bit rude" you said, rubbing your eyebrow awkwardly.
"It's okay. Is he your boyfriend?" Henry said, making your head shoot up to look at him.
"James? No, no no no no" you said shaking your head repeatedly.
"Sorry that was inappropriate." he said, shaking his own head.
"It's okay." you said. You were then being called to collect a medal so Henry frowned slightly.
"Um I'm sorry I have to go, it was really nice meeting you Henry" you said, beginning to walk off. Henry looked at the ground and ran a hand through his curls. Should've asked for her number you idiot, he thought. He felt a small hand in his and he looked up and saw you standing there again.
"Take this" you said, removing your hand and walking away again, in his clasp was a piece of paper with your number written on it , he smiled to himself and put it in his pocket, walking over to his brothers again who he ran with.
"Hello again stranger" his brother said, patting him on the back.
"Hey" he said, falling into a conversation with his brothers again.
A little while later Henry was called to talk to some of the staff members at Durrell who wanted to thank him for all of his hard work and thank him for being an amazing ambassador. You were standing amongst your colleagues, laughing about something when he walked up to you.
"Could I borrow you for a second please?" he said, making your best friend and colleague raise her eyebrows up at you.
"Of course" you said, saying goodbye to your colleagues making them call out “congratulations” to you as you left with Henry.
"What's up?" you said, continuing to walk somewhere with Henry.
"I know we've just met but I really enjoyed talking to you and I want to get to know you more. Would you want to go out later?" he said, the both of you slowly coming to a stop a while away from everyone else. Before you got to answer Henry started rambling" can understand if you don't want to, you're probably really busy with stuff and don't have the time for a relationship, let alone one with me and probably don't want what comes with me... " he continued making you lean up and place a peck to his cheek, shutting him up.
"For a famous superstar you really aren't very smooth" you joked, making him sigh deeply and smile.
"I swear I'm not usually like this, you make me nervous" he said, closing his eyes and breathing in heavily after he said it because there he goes blurting something stupid out again.
"Hmm. You can prove that to me later then" you said, lightly nudging him.
"Really?" he said, bashfully, seriously what's wrong with him today.
"It would be an honor" you said, your friend ran over to you and you sighed, you really couldn't catch a break today.
"Yn we need you" she said laughing about something, beginning to pull you away. "text me" you mouthed as you were being pulled away.
Henry texted you later that day and you both decided to go for a walk along the beach together, you met just as the sun was setting, the sky was a beautiful mixture of pink, blue and purple and the sea was gently kissing the shore.
You met at a small ice cream hut which was closed, you were wearing a white summer dress and a thin pink cardigan over the top.
Tumblr media
Henry was wearing a pair of black jeans, a white shirt and a blazer. He walked up to you and you smiled up at him, he leant down and placed a sweet kiss to your cheek.
"Hi" he said, his hand resting on your waist.
"Hi. What's in the basket?" you said referring to what was in his hand.
"It's a surprise," he said, confidently taking your hand and beginning to walk down to the shore. You liked his new found confidence and you smiled to yourself, his hand felt huge wrapped around yours and it warmed your hand up instantly, it was tingling so much you swear he would've felt it. You walked in silence for a little bit, stopping about 50 yards from the shore line. Henry's hand dropped yours lightly, placing the basket on the floor, pulling out a blanket from it and placing it on the floor. He gestured to the blanket and said "my lady" which made you giggle, you sat down and he followed suit.
"You look beautiful," he said, making you blush.
"Oh stop" you said, looking away for a second as you were now very aware of him looking at you.
"You do." he said.
"Thank you, you look very handsome yourself" you said.
"What? this? Oh it's nothing" he said jokingly making you giggle.
"That's cute." he said, referring to your giggle, making you blush again.
"You're making me all shy" you said, looking down which made a piece of hair fall in front of your eyes, Henry's fingers came up to your face, grazing your cheek as he tucked it behind your ear. Before leaning back on his palms.
"Tell me more about yourself" he said, grabbing some wine and some glasses, pouring you a glass as he spoke, you loved the change in his attitude, earlier he was this rambling mess and now he was this confident and well put together guy who tucked your hair behind your ear and then acted like nothing had happened.
"Umm, what do you want to know?" you said, turning your whole body to face him as you took a glass from him taking a sip of the delicious wine.
"Everything. How did you come to work at Durrell?" he said with that same level of confidence.
"I've worked in conservation for 9 years now, I used to travel all across the world working on different conservation projects. I absolutely loved it and I started to get a name for myself. But something was always missing. I guess I just wanted consistency, I wanted somewhere I could call home. When my mum moved here she heard of this job at Durrell and she told me and it sounded ideal. It was quite a big role on the conservation team so I thought I wouldn't get it but I applied anyway and got the job and I've now been working there for a year now and it's amazing" you said, Henry listened carefully to every single word you said and you loved it.
"That's amazing. So what is it you do exactly?" he said, he moved so he was no longer leaning back on his palms but so one hand resting on his lap and one hand resting on your knee.
You smiled down at his hand on your knee before saying "So my official title is, Director of Conservation Science. I manage the Trust’s scientific research programmes to support Durrell’s conservation mission. But I also carry out keeper duties 3 times a week, its not usually what someone does in my position but I asked and they agreed. I love working with animals and you don't really get to do that in my position, it's mainly just research” you said, making him smile widely.
"That's so cool, it's good you're doing something you're really passionate about" he said, his hand began to massage your knee lightly making you sigh happily.
"Well from what I hear you're pretty passionate about it too?" you said, your own hand coming to rest over his on your knee.
"I am yeah, Durrell has always been a huge part of my life, it was a place I always visited when I was growing up. So when I started acting and got into the public eye I wanted to make a change and I wanted to use my position to help" he said.
"And you really are making a massive difference Henry" you said, squeezing his hand.
"Tell me about your family" he said, his hand caressing your hand as he spoke.
"I have 3 brothers and I'm the youngest and the only girl which made for an interesting childhood. My mum and dad got divorce when I was around 4. And then my mum found her partner when I was about 21 and they've been together ever since. My dad remarried 2 years ago now and he lives in London with my stepmum" you said smiling at him. "what about you?"
"Well I grew up here, although you knew that. I have 4 brothers and I'm the second youngest so that too made from an interesting childhood" he said making the both of you chuckle. "I went to boarding school, Stow School , you might have heard of it? That was interesting too, I left a year early though as I got a role in the Count of Monte Cristo in 2002 and I've been acting ever since” he spoke with an aura of confidence and pride and it made you smile so much your cheeks ached. You nodded along, listening to every word.
“That sounds amazing” 
"Wow, it's so beautiful" you said, looking out to the sea and sky a second later.
"It really is" Henry replied, little did you know he was looking at you.
"Do you enjoy being back home?" you said, making him nod at you.
"Yeah I really do. I don't get to do it all that often anymore, usually just for the challenge and then for Christmas. I love it here" he said making you smile and say "me too, it's wonderful"
"I see the way people treat you here, it must be nice" you say.
"Yeah. I mean don't get me wrong, I love my fans and I love meeting them. I love the life I have because of them and I love talking about my job. But here... I'm just Henry. That's why I like you so much, it just feels right, feels like I'm just an ordinary guy who met a girl he likes in an ordinary way. There's no pressure, I don't feel like I have to be Henry Cavill the movie star" he said.
"I'm glad" you said, bringing his hand up to your lips and placing a kiss against it. It made him look at you, really look at you, his eyes staring into yours and he lent closer, closing the gap between you, his hand coming to cradle your face as he placed his lips against yours. The both of your lips stayed against each other for a few seconds before he pulled away briefly, leaning in to mold them together again. Sparks flew between you, and your hand came to gently grasp his chin, pulling him in further against you before you both pulled away, smiling widely.
"Wow. That makes a change from earlier" you said, making him chuckle, and wrap his arms around you, laying the both of you down on the blanket, the both of you looked up into the sky, your head on his arm.
You both then spent some more time getting to know each other, you found out the others favourite colour, food, book, film, tv show, anything and everything you could talk about you did. By the end of the conversation you felt like you really knew Henry, not the famous Henry but the real Henry.
"Can I tell you something?" you said, your hands were playing with each other against Henry's stomach when you felt him nod against you, you turned over slightly so your head was against his arm but so you could see him.
"I was really trying to seem cool earlier but I was going crazy" you said, making him chuckle.
"And there I was thinking you didn't know who I was." he said, bringing your hand up to his lips like you did earlier.
"I just wanted you to feel comfortable but I was seriously freaking out inside. Everyone had told me so much about you and you seemed like this really nice guy. I wasn't even going to come up to you because I didn't want to freak you out or whatever. As you said, this is your home and everyone treats you like just Henry so I did the same when you came up to me"
"I really appreciate that. I was kind of shocked though, I think that's why I was such a mess, you were so cool and calm and I was just like wow who is this wonderful girl" he said, moving so he was leaning over you slightly, beginning to play with your hair.
"Does it change anything?" you said making him smirk at you.
"not at all, unless you're some stalker, you're not a stalker are you?" he said jokingly.
"No I'm not a stalker Henry. I just know where you live, your shoe size, what car you drive" you said jokingly getting interrupted by him tickling you.
"Henry" you laughing, wriggling against him "stop" you said, pushing his chest roughly, so he was lying down and your were over him, his legs opened slightly, allowing you to slide in between his legs, your arms coming to rest against his chest with your head placed on them, he began playing with your hair again making you close your eyes.
"Please stroke my ego just a little bit by assuring me that you have at least watched some of my films" he said, making you open your eyes.
"I have. And you were amazing" you said.
"Wow okay stalker" he said, making you nudge him in the stomach, making him let out a laugh mixed with a grunt. You pressed your lips firmly against his, his smile soon dropping so he could properly mold your lips together.
“When do you go back to London?” you said after pulling away from the kiss.
“Tomorrow” he said, making you frown.
“Looking forward to it?” you said, making him sigh, his forehead rested against yours and he placed two sweet kisses to your lips.
“I didn’t think this was going to happen. I don’t want to go home now” he said, making you chuckle, you both sat up, his arm still cradling you against his side.
“I didn’t think so either. But it's okay, sometimes you meet people who are supposed to be there for just a really fantastic day, maybe that's what this is. Doesn’t change how amazing it is” you said making him nod.
“That’s the thing, I think it’s more than that, I sure as hell want it to be” he said, making you smile.
“All we can do is wait and see I guess, we had one amazing date Henry. But you’re going back to London tomorrow and I’m staying here” you said, making him place a kiss against your forehead.
“If it's meant to be it will be, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck” he said making you smile at him and share one last memorable kiss.
The next time you saw each other was the first week of November, Henry had finished the filming of the first season of the Witcher and came home for a break. It was coming up to your birthday and your friends had been planning something to celebrate it, you weren't quite sure what they had planned but were happy nonetheless. You had heard Henry was back home but hadn't yet had the chance to see him because you were so busy with work, you were truly working your arse off and you found yourself becoming very tired. Today was a particularly long day, you came in early to lend a hand on the keeper duties and then had a full day of meetings alongside the conservation staff. You arrived home at 8pm which was quite a bit later than the usual time. Your friends had invited you to the annual pub quiz so you got ready as soon as you got home, showering and getting dressed. You had your hair in a bun all day so when you let it down it had nice curls in it, you brushed it through with your fingers to calm the curls just a little bit so it didn't look too crazy. You put on some black skinny jeans and a lace bodysuit and a black blazer.
Tumblr media
You and your friends didn't have much spare time to go out so you made it a tradition to dress up for the annual quiz night. Lucky most of the locals at the pub knew all of you and understood why you did it. You weren't a fan of foundation or heavy makeup so instead applied some bb cream, some light contour to add some dimension to your face and some highlighting drops to accentuate your cheekbones which you loved, some light eyeshadow to your eyes and some mascara and then applied your favourite perfume. You picked up a clutch purse and put the essentials in it before heading out the door to the pub.
Your friends were dressed to the nines and you complimented them when you saw them. These were the people you worked with who were similar, if not the same age you were and you all got along very well.
"The boys are late as usual so let's just go in" your friend Emily said, nudging all 3 of you inside. You sat at your usual table, your friend Amy going to get a round for the three of you. One of the locals came up to you making some friendly chit chat. You and your friends got chatting when Amy came back and eventually you landed on the conversation of Henry.
"So Henry is back, saw him at the supermarket today, he asked about you" your friend Amy said, raising her eyebrows up at you.
"He did not" you laughed making Amy say "I swear it, he came over and said he recognised me from Durrel, asked if I was your friend...I invited him to your birthday bash" she said making Emily laugh.
"Are you crazy? I haven't seen him in months, it will be so awkward for him" you said, as you saw your guy friends come in (there were 3 of them in total). They quickly came to sit at your table giving out hugs and kisses.
"What's going to be awkward?" your friend Liam said, giving you a kiss on the cheek, his hand holding his boyfriend James'.
"The fact that Amy invited Henry to my birthday celebration" you said, taking a sip from your drink.
"Your birthday bash" Amy said, making everyone laugh.
"No one agreed to call it that" your friend Lewis said, making everyone laugh again.
"If you think that's awkward you should probably know that Henry and his brothers do this quiz every year" James said, making you choke on your drink.
"What?! Nobody told me that. Wait a second he wasn't here last year?" you said, referring to the first year you lived here and did the quiz.
"He was off being a big shot superstar" James said, rolling his eyes making you grunt.
"you don't have to say it like that. It's rude" you said making Liam stand up for you "yeah cmon, Yn told me what you said to him at Durrell, he hasn't given us any reason to treat him like that" you gave Liam a look to say thank you.
"I'm going to get a drink while the bar is fairly free, anyone want one?" Lewis said, making you all nod. 
"I'll give you a hand. Need to pee anyway" you said, everyone told Lewis what they wanted and then you both walked to the bar.
"Let me just use the ladies and then I'll be back to help with the drinks" you said, going off to the toilet, getting stopped by a local on your way who commented on how nice you looked. You thanked them before going into the ladies room.
You did what you had to do and started walking back to the bar to meet Lewis, you weren't looking where you were going to ended up bumping into someone as you heard them say "easy there love", you recognised the voice straight away and your heart began thumping quickly , his hand quickly came flying to your waist to stop you from falling, you looked up to him finally being met with two piercing blue eyes and you recognised instantly.
"Henry" you said, taking a step back, smiling to his brothers who all had a pint in their hand.
"Yn!" he said, stepping forward to hug you tightly, he lifted you off the ground slightly, making you giggle. You were glad he was happy to see you. "This is Yn" he said excitedly to his brothers as he took a step back again.
"nice to meet you, I'm Simon"
"pleased to meet you I'm Niki"
"Fastest time at Durrell right? I'm Piers"
"I'm Charlie. We'll leave you and Hen to it. It was lovely to meet you" you felt a bit overwhelmed, each of them introducing themselves, shaking your hand and placing a friendly greeting kiss to your cheek.
"Sorry about that." Henry said, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly.
You heard your name being called by Lewis and you looked over to the bar and saw him struggling with the drinks.
"Uh- it's okay. Shit sorry my friend needs my help. I really want to catch up but-" you said, getting interrupted by another call of your name from Lewis. It was the first time he had heard you swear and he thought it was cute, you sounded a little bit angry at the person who was calling you and it made Henry smirk slightly, you were cute when you were mad.
"It's okay. Go, we can catch up later. It's really good to see you, love, you look great" he said, leaning down to place a kiss against your cheek.
"so do-" "YN!" "coming! Sorry Henry"
You paced over to Lewis, hitting him on the back making him wince.
"What was that for?" he said, you grabbed 3 drinks in your hand and walked to the table, Lewis following behind you.
"Did you not see who I was talking to?" you said to Lewis, passing everyone their drinks and sliding next to Amy, Lewis sliding in next to you.
"No? I was trying to get the drinks" he said dumbfoundedly.
"Well I was talking to Henry. Didn't get much chance to talk because all of his brothers introduced themselves and then you interrupted me" you said, making everyone scold Lewis.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realise" he said, making you chuckle.
"Oh well, too late now" you said, nudging your shoulder against Lewis'.
"You already tried it with her, now it's his turn" Liam joked, making everyone laugh. Lewis had asked you on a date when you first started working at Durrell, you had agreed but after the date the two of you agreed you didn't feel any sparks. He was a good looking guy but nothing was there, of course it was now a running joke in your group.
"Oh shut up" you said, laughing with your friends again. The quiz began and you all continued drinking and laughing, you occasionally looked over at Henry's table, sometimes you would meet his eyes and you would both smile, you saw that they too were laughing and having a good time which made you smile.
Henry on the otherhand was getting a little bit jealous, Lewis was sitting very close to you and his arm was wrapped protectively around you shoulders, you knew there was nothing of this behaviour apart from the fact you were just such good friends, but Henry didn't know your history, all he knew was you looked like a couple and looked good together. He couldn't really expect much, you both agreed that what will happen will happen and he had been gone for a couple of months now and a lot can happen in that time.
The quiz finished and your team did terribly but none of you cared. You went to get some water from the bar, no one else wanting a drink. Henry saw you get up on your own and took this opportunity to come and talk to you.
"Enjoy the quiz?" he said, his hand resting on your lower back for a second before he moved it away, weird you thought.
"We did terribly but yeah I did. You?" you said, making him nod down at you.
"How have you been?" he said, making you smile.
"Really good. Busy but good" you said continuing with "How about you? How was filming?"
"Amazing as always. Good to be back though" he said, the both of you turning your head to your friends when you heard one of them wolf whistle.
"Excuse them. They're a bunch of children" you said, raising your voice a little so they hear, Amy and Emily hit the guys to shut them up, making Henry laugh.
"They seem nice." he said, making you look back at him.
"They're a pain in the ass but I love them" you said, making Henry smile.
"Your brothers were really sweet" you said, the both of you turning your heads the other way to see his brothers.
"They're a pain in my ass too but I love them" he said using your own words.
"I know this might seem like a weird question but are you seeing anyone at the moment?" he said and you saw him glance at Lewis.
"Nope. He's just a good friend. He's handsy with everyone" you said laughing to yourself.
"Hmm" Henry said, making a mental note. You're single, nice.
"Your friend Amy invited me to your birthday... What did she call it?"
"Bash" you said at the same time, making each other laugh.
"Yeah... Don't know why she decided to call it that. You don't have to come if you don't want to. I'd understand" you said, taking a sip from your water.
"Do you want me to come?" he said, making you smile.
"If you wanted to." you said, placing a hand over his.
"Okay, guess you'll see me there then. Maybe we could go for coffee before? Have a proper catch up?" he said making you nod quickly.
"I'd love that Henry" you said squeezing his hand.
"Good. You do look really good by the way. Beautiful" he said making you blush.
"Thank you. A bit overdressed for this place but none of us get the chance to go out so we made it a tradition to dress up a bit for this quiz. Stupid I know" you said, looking down slightly so your hair covered your blushing cheeks. Henry's fingers glided across your chin lightly, lifting your face up to look at him.
"Not at all. Sounds like a lovely tradition" he said, his fingers dropping from your chin. Your own fingers tucked a piece of hair behind your ear.
"Thanks. Haha. I'll let you get back to your brothers. It was really nice seeing you. Text me about that coffee date yeah? You still have my number?" you said making him nod.
"Okay" you said walking back to your table. Henry smiled at you saying it was a date before walking back to his table. You sat down next to your friends breathing out deeply, you felt like you hadn't taken a breath since you were standing with him.
"How did it go?" they all said at the same time.
"Fine. We're going to meet up for coffee sometime before my birthday bash" you said cringing slightly at the name making Amy giggle.
"Everything with him feels so intense," you said, rubbing your temples.
"Ooo I love it. Imagine what the sex will be like" James said making everyone laugh. You looked over to his table again seeing him already looking at you, he winked at you making you blush and look back to your friends.
Well this is going to be... Interesting.

Cursed
I originally wanted to write this for @nalu-week but I was late lol. Still, I really liked the idea so I'm going to post it now anyways! This is a Fruits Basket crossover, nalu style! The idea was given to me by @princess--alice-xxx :D
"Cursed"
Rated M for sexual themes.
Summary: Fruits Basket crossover AU. Lucy is in for a surprise when she stumbles into Natsu and finds out that he transforms into an animal of the Chinese zodiac.
Cursed
Lucy didn't know much before about her classmate, Natsu Dragneel. She knew that he was friends with her best friend, Levy, that he was a distraction in class, and that there wasn't a day that went by when he wasn't sporting his signature, scaly scarf. She also knew that he was drop dead gorgeous with his unruly tufts of pink hair, his mesmerizing dark orbs, and his mischievous grin that could stop the whole room. Other than that, the boy used to be a mystery to her.
Key word being used to.
Now, she was just stumbling across his greatest secret.
After class had ended, Lucy headed straight for book club, just as she did every Thursday. The girl loved book club more than anything. It allowed her to read new novels she never heard of before, led her to Levy, and even gave her inspiration for stories of her own. It was what she looked forward to every week.
Only this week, fate had more interesting things in store for her that Thursday.
After realizing that she forgot her bag, Lucy rushed back to the classroom, urging Levy to go without her and that she'd catch up. Hastily slipping past lingering students, the girl didn't waste even a second before throwing open the door and rushing inside, only to slam into something warm and firm.
Next thing Lucy knew, there was a puff of smoke and she was falling forward. She fell to the floor with a loud thud.
"Ow," the girl mumbled to herself. She sat up, rubbing her forehead. That was sure to leave a mark.
Just as she was about to get up, a muffled sound caught her attention. Glancing around the room, she searched for the source of the noise, only to find that the room was empty save for herself. Still, she could hear the faint voice coming from somewhere nearby.
Shifting to get up, she heard a sharp intake of breath.
"Will you get offa me already!?" a voice shouted, the sound coming from beneath her.
Lucy jumped with a startle, slowly lowering her gaze to her legs, which were folded underneath her. Her heart stopped, the first thing she noticed being red scales. With a scream loud enough to wake all of Fiore, she jumped off of the creature and onto the closest desk.
Not wanting to lose sight of it, she carefully leaned over to find the creature- she still wasn't sure what it was- laying on its back. Its scales were a bright red. Its belly was yellow, a sharp contrast from the rest of it. Once she found the creature's legs, she knew that it wasn't a snake. It must've been some sort of lizard.
Lucy whimpered. Now she was stuck with some strange, possibly venomous lizard. She would call Levy to help her, but unfortunately her phone was in her bag, which was at her desk.
On the opposite side of the room.
The girl watched as the lizard flipped itself over onto its hind legs, standing at about a foot. She may not have been an expert in lizards, but she'd never seen one stand before.
"Oh Mavis," she breathed out, her voice hushed in fear. "Please don't jump, please don't jump, please don't-"
"I'm not gonna jump so calm down, alright?"
Lucy's brows rocketed upwards at the voice. It was familiar, the same voice she heard earlier. She could swear she recognized it from somewhere else.
"H-Hello?" she called out, her eyes trained on the door. Someone must've been outside the classroom or something because there was no way in hell the lizard was talking to her. Nope. No way.
But sure enough…
"Down here," it said.
Lucy felt dizzy as she trailed her gaze back to the lizard, who was now staring at her with what she assumed was an annoyed look. The fall she took must've knocked her out earlier. She was dreaming. That had to be it!
"Uhh, maybe you should get down from there," the lizard said. Judging from its voice, she assumed it was a male.
"What? So you can bite me? No thanks, I'm fine up here," Lucy replied.
"You don't look so good. You're startin' to sway. I think you're about to pass out."
"Even though this is just a dream, I'd still prefer not to get attacked. I'll take my chances."
"I always had a feelin' you were weird, but now I know for sure you are."
Lucy arched a brow. "Wait, what do you mean by always?"
The lizard sighed before using his claws to close the door to the classroom.
"I'd give it about five more seconds," he said.
"Give what five more seconds?"
Suddenly, a puff of smoke surrounded the lizard. A shrill scream bubbled up to Lucy's lips, caught off guard. When the smoke died down, she found that she was in for yet another surprise.
Standing in front of her was none other than her classmate, Natsu Dragneel.
And he was naked.
That was all Lucy needed to send her off the edge. Her lids grew heavy, her eyes rolling in the back of her head as she wobbled on shaky legs. She could feel a cold gust of wind hitting her body as she fell forward.
"Oh shit!" she heard Natsu say right before she crashed into a firm surface, hot to the touch.
They fell back onto the floor, Lucy on top of him once again. That same puff of smoke appeared once more, Natsu having turned back into a lizard. He gave a pained yelp, which helped Lucy get out of her hazy daze.
"How many times are you gonna crush me!?" he said, trying to squirm out from beneath the blonde.
Lucy slowly moved off of him. Her mind was working on overdrive, trying to put the pieces together and figure out just what the hell was happening. It had to have been a prank of some sorts. She'd seen many talent shows that featured magicians able to pop up out of nowhere. Perhaps that's what he was doing, replacing himself with a lizard.
Yeah, that made sense.
"My tail!" she heard Natsu shout. He held his tail in his claws. It was bent weirdly, probably from being pressed underneath her. He turned an angry gaze on her. "This is your fault! I told you to get down from there! I knew you were gonna pass out!"
Lucy's face etched with fury at his accusation. "My fault? You're the pervert doing magic tricks and replacing yourself with a lizard!"
"Okay one, I'm not a pervert. That's Gray. Two, I'm not a lizard. I'm a dragon, got it? And three, I'm not a magician. This is just a curse."
"Curse?"
"It's a long story. For now, I need you to stop yelling. Someone's gonna hear you and come in here."
"Good! I don't want to be in the same room as a lying pervert!"
"Oi! Quit callin' me that! I'm not-!"
A puff of smoke appeared yet again, leaving Natsu naked in his human form.
"Okay, I see why you think this would make me a pervert," he said, holding his hands up in surrender to keep the girl from screaming. "But I can explain."
Lucy's eyes went wide, her face set ablaze as she stared at the bare man in front of her. Her gaze moved on its own, glazing over his abs and down to his-
"KYAAA!" she shouted, slapping her hands over her eyes.
Natsu winced at the volume of her voice, quickly slapping his hand over her mouth. Of course, this only freaked her out even more. She screamed against his palm, thrashing around before biting his hand. With a yelp, he pulled his hand back.
"You just bit me!" the boy shouted, glaring at the blonde.
"You deserved it!" Lucy retorted, making sure not to remove her hands from her eyes. "Just put your clothes back on, pervert!"
A vein ticked in Natsu's forehead after being called that again. Muttering incentives to himself, he hastily threw on his clothes. Wrapping his scarf around his neck, he gave a relieved sigh.
"You can look now," he said, watching as Lucy shook her head.
"I'm scared you're going to flash me again."
"I didn't flash you! It wasn't my fault!"
"You really expect me to believe that?"
Natsu sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Look, I'll explain everything, alright? Just come with me."
Lucy parted her fingers slightly, peeking at the boy to make sure he was really dressed. Only after did she nod.
"Fine. But if you even think of lying to me or flashing me again, I'm going straight to the police!"
"Yeah, yeah. Let's go."
Natsu led her to an empty, rundown park. He sat on one of the picnic benches, gesturing for her to take a seat as well. She refused.
"You know, now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't have followed a boy that just flashed me to an abandoned park," Lucy said.
"It's not like I'm gonna do anything to you," Natsu replied with a shrug. "I just need you to promise you won't tell anyone what you saw today."
"And why the hell should I promise that? What you did was sexual harassment, you know."
"I already told you it was the curse!"
"What curse?"
Natsu groaned. "It's called the curse of Fairy Tail. There are twelve of us. We each represent one of the signs from the Chinese zodiac. Whenever we're hugged by someone of the opposite sex, we turn into our zodiac form. I'm the dragon."
Lucy glared at the boy in front of her. "You really expect me to believe that?"
Losing his patience, Natsu stood up from the bench, moving right in front of her. "Hug me again and find out for yourself."
A blush rose to her cheeks. "N-No way! I don't need to hug you to know that you're lying!"
"Fine, then let's go find Levy."
"Levy-chan?" Lucy asked, arching a brow. "Why do you want to find her."
"She's one of us. Duh."
She would've been annoyed by his 'duh' comment if she wasn't so curious.
"Alright, fine," she said, planting her hands on her hips. "If Levy-chan says you're telling the truth, I'll forgive you for what happened. If not, then I'll beat the hell out of you."
His lips curled into a mischievous grin. "You really think you can?"
"I have a pretty mean kick."
"Now I kinda wanna tell you I'm lying so that I can see just how strong that kick of yours is."
"Keep annoying me and you'll find out."
Making their way back to the school, Lucy popped her head into the room where the book club met up. After gaining Levy's attention, she waved for her to come outside.
Closing the door behind her, Levy arched a brow finding that Natsu was with Lucy. The two never spent time together.
"Where were you, Lu-chan?" Levy asked. "Book club is almost over!"
"We needa talk," Natsu said. "C'mon."
The trio headed back to the classroom. Natsu closed the door behind him and locked it.
"So, I might've messed up," he said, turning to meet Levy's gaze.
"What did you do?" the petite girl asked.
"Lucy found out our secret."
"What?"
Lucy breathed a sigh of relief at Levy's confused expression. Just as she thought, Natsu was lying.
"I knew you were lying! I'm so going to beat the-!"
"How did she find out!?" Levy shouted, cutting the blonde off.
Lucy whipped her head towards the other girl. "Wait, what? You mean he was telling the truth?"
Levy chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, he was. You must be shocked."
"B-But we hug all the time!"
"The curse only works if the hug is from someone of the opposite sex."
Lucy's mouth parted as she leaned against the wall for support.
"No way," she breathed out.
Natsu shrugged, his arms crossed behind his head. "I'm surprised you didn't find out sooner."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you hang out with a bunch of us. I figured someone woulda told you by now."
"What!?"
"He's right," Levy said. "Well, about you hanging out with a bunch of us. Not about us telling you. We aren't dumb."
"Wait, who else is like you guys?" Lucy asked. Her mind was short-circuiting.
"Well, there's Erza, Juvia, Cana, and Mira. All of us are cursed."
"And Gray, Gajeel, and Jellal," Natsu added. "But you don't hang out with them."
"Aren't there supposed to be three more?"
"You wouldn't know them. They're older than us."
Lucy brought her fingers to her temples. She could feel an oncoming headache.
"So you guys really turn into animals when you're hugged by the opposite sex?" Lucy asked, still unable to completely wrap her head around it.
"Yep," Natsu answered nonchalantly. "And you're the only one outside of Fairy Tail who knows our secret!"
Lucy faced Levy. "What zodiac sign are you?"
The other girl pouted. "I'm the rat. Sadly, I'm not one of the cuter animals."
"It makes sense though. Rats are supposed to be intelligent and resourceful. What about everyone else?"
"Erza is the monkey, Juvia is the rabbit, Mira is the goat, and Cana is the horse."
"Gajeel is the ox, Gray is the tiger, and Jellal is the snake," Natsu added.
"And you're the lizard," Lucy teased, stifling her laughter.
He glared at her. "Dragon, okay? I'm a dragon!"
"Pretty small for a dragon."
"That's only because a real-sized dragon would destroy everything!"
"Oh, so you can change your size?"
"Well, no but-"
"You're a lizard."
"Yeah? Well you were pretty scared of this 'lizard' earlier! You shoulda seen yourself! You were screaming at the top of your lungs! You even jumped on a desk! That gave the perfect view to your underwear, you know?"
Lucy blushed in embarrassment, chasing after the cackling boy. She was so going to wring his neck if she ever caught up to him.
"I knew you were a pervert!" she shouted.
"Stop callin' me that!" Natsu shot back.
Levy sighed, rubbing her temple as the other two bickered. "Well, I'm going to go find Erza and tell her about this… development. I'm sure we're in for an earful." Seeing that the other two were too caught up in their argument to hear her, she shrugged before heading out.
"Stop running so I can kick you now!" Lucy demanded.
Natsu laughed, his cheeks starting to hurt with how wide his grin was. "Gotta catch me first! What's wrong, Lucy? Can't catch up to a lizard?"
Getting fed up, Lucy cut him off and tackled him to the floor, triggering his curse. By this point, she was starting to get used to the puff of smoke that accompanied Natsu's change in form. Wrapping her hand around his scaly abdomen, she gave him a smirk.
"Looks like I finally caught you," she teased.
Natsu huffed, a small wisp of fire slipping past his sharp teeth. "Yeah, yeah."
Lucy ran her finger over his scales. "You know, it's kind of cool that you guys change forms."
"Cool? It's called a curse for a reason, Lucy. It sucks. Every time a girl tries to throw themselves at me, I gotta think quick enough to dodge them or else I'm gonna end up on some researcher's desk while he cuts me up and tries to figure out why I change forms."
The girl shrugged. "That's true. But it also brings you guys closer together. Not to mention it makes you special."
Natsu stared up at the blonde, his eyes widening a fraction. "You don't think it's weird?"
"Oh, it's weird alright. But you called me weird too, remember? So I guess I have no room to talk."
The dragon grinned. "You are pretty weird. The weirdest person I know since you're so calm about all of this."
"I wouldn't say calm. I almost fainted earlier."
"Oh yeah. Then I had to catch you and you fell on me. You're pretty heavy, you know that?"
Lucy grabbed his tail with her other hand as she glared at him. "Don't make me rip you in two."
"So violent!"
"Only because you know how to annoy me."
Natsu laughed at her expression. Her cheeks were puffed out in annoyance as she narrowed her eyes at him. He was about to reply when the effect of his curse wore off. His body was engulfed in a puff of smoke as he morphed back to normal. He was left standing bare yet again.
Only this time, a hand rested on his upper thigh.
Lucy's face burned crimson as her gaze was immediately met with a part of Natsu she had never seen before. Swallowing thickly, she tried to force her gaze away. Realizing that her hand was on his upper thigh because of where she was holding him earlier, she tore it away with a squeal.
"I-I didn't mean to touch you there!" she shouted.
Natsu clamped his teeth on his lower lip, trying to stop his body from growing hard. Unfortunately, his attempts were fruitless. It wasn't his fault! There was a beautiful girl on her knees right in front of his groin and her hand was on his thigh for god's sake!
Lucy felt like she was on fire, the pit of her stomach coiling as the area between her thighs throbbed in arousal. She could see his cock growing hard in excitement, and even though she didn't have any experience in this sort of thing, she had heard enough about Cana's sexual endeavors to know what it meant.
"This is the second time I've caught you staring at me, you know," Natsu said, grabbing her attention.
Lucy flailed her arms around, her heart thrashing around her ribcage. She shot up to her feet and turned around in mortification.
"It's not my fault you change back so suddenly!" the girl shouted.
Natsu laughed. He wasn't the kind of person to get embarrassed easily, so he didn't let what just happened bother him too much. Instead, he got dressed.
"I'm dressed now," he said.
Swallowing thickly, Lucy turned to face him. Her eyes immediately dropped to the hem of his pants.
"And that makes a third time," Natsu teased with a heavy smirk.
Lucy groaned, heading to the opposite side of the room to grab her backpack- the catalyst for how this all began. Glaring at him, she headed for the door.
"I'm going home," she said.
Natsu laughed, following her out the door. "What? Sure you don't wanna go for a fourth look?"
"Shut up!"
"Oi, you don't have to yell! It's not my fault you're a pervert!"
Lucy groaned again. Something told her that she was going to be stuck with Natsu following her around from now on. In truth, she couldn't say that she minded.
The day was hectic, to say the least. Hell, she still wasn't completely sold that she wasn't just dreaming. Still, she was sure that her life was about to get a whole lot more interesting with Natsu around.

speak·eas·y speakeasy/ˈspēkˌēzē/
noun
INFORMAL
(during Prohibition) an illicit liquor store or nightclub.
a/n: whew this was cute i think;;; also this was weirdly longer than most of my works?? sksksk intoducing the modern roaring 20s au series,, please enjoy uwuw uhh ya like jazz?
masterlist
warnings: none??
                                ⊱ ────── {⋅. ♪ .⋅} ────── ⊰
You don’t know what it was about jazz music that gave you goosebumps on your arms and sent shivers down your spine. There was just something about it that brought you to the brink of tears, that made your chest tight in all the right ways. It was magical. It was a pleasant surprise when you saw the rise of speakeasies come back, and along with it, jazz, blues, and soul singers. It was underground, it was pure, unfiltered art and it was good. You never thought about your singing as a professional career, not out of low self-esteem, but because of realism. Everyone wants to be something, be big, be successful- whether they’re talented or not and those rules applied twice for music. But the truth is, not everyone could do it. But you could dream, even though you knew you were going to end up studying for a career you didn’t want and end up in a nine to five where you worked mindlessly until robots replaced you or you died. But that was life, right?
But then you started hearing jazz on your independent radio again, and your heart skipped a beat. You thought it was a one-time thing, but here it was making its way into underground culture. But then you saw a poster, posted like graffiti in the back alley of your favorite convenience store and you swore it had to be destiny. It was that night, and it was quickly approaching. It was already near midnight when you had stopped for a late-night snack, and if your parents caught you sneaking in after midnight you would have hell to pay- but there was no way you would skip out on going. Because there was never a coincidence when it came to music, it was always destiny- for better or for worse. But you couldn’t go in sweats, no ma’am. As comfortable as sweats were, you had respect for the art. And didn’t want to feel out of place. So you snuck back in and out as quietly as you could, and rushed out to the address.
The outside was a little bit sketchy, it was dimly lit and tucked into a narrow street, hidden away from plain sight. You smoothed down your outfit, walking into the modern-day speakeasy. It wasn’t packed or crowded, but there was a good amount of interesting people in the place. They were all friendly, welcoming you into the place familiarly known as ‘M.I.A.’ The lights dimmed and you sat at a table, watching the small stage be illuminated by a modest light. The pianist started playing, his hands moving delicately along the keys as the room filled with a melancholy sound. And then he came in.
The light made him look nothing less than angelic, he smiled at you as he gripped the Elvis style microphone. But the real surprise came when he began to sing, you gasped quietly, unsure of what you were expecting- but nonetheless, beautiful. It was deep but smooth- he knew how to control his voice and it sounded like what melting milk chocolate looked like. You were gazing intently at him, observing his every movement as he sang about a love that was to blossom, young love- naive love and all the heartbreak that came with it. But it was over so fast, and at the same time, you felt like you had been listening to him for forever. Even though the group was medium, the clapping that came from the group was intense and loud. You were grinning, goosebumps everywhere and the hair on the nape of your neck sticking up like porcupines.
Suddenly, a light was shining on you and you covered your eyes as a reflex. Quiet laughs rippled through the room, laughing as if they knew what was coming- because they knew something you didn’t. The man who greeted you at the door, Chan, came up to the stage and motioned for you to step up. Unsure of what else you could do, you stepped up, full of anxiety.
He spoke into the mic, “What’s your name?”
“Uh, ____.”
He smiled at you. “Ah, ___, can you sing?”
“Sort of?”
The crowd laughed lightly, as all eyes were on you. “That’s good!” he spoke, “Now, I run M.I.A here, and we like to do a little game, but no pressure, yeah? You wanna sing for us? Woojin here can play you a song.”
You looked out at the crowd, their eyes all eager and curious. You were nervous, sure, but you had already come so far.
“Sure,” you nodded, “I can sing you a song.”
“Lovely, darling!” he handed you the mic, and winked, “Give us a show!”
The crowd cheered at that, and you whispered a familiar song into Woojin’s ear as he started to play. You wrapped your fingers around the mic, making eye contact with the boy who was previously on stage, sitting at your table and winked- the crowd cheering again at that. You sang in a way that only the shower had experienced before, putting on a show like there was no one there to watch you. Singing now made you more alive than ever, eventually, someone from the back started to join in with the saxophone. You felt alive, moving like you were performing in front of a stadium- like you had done this so many times before. You were a natural, and you felt like finally, you had found your people. During all of this, you made broken eye contact with the boy from the stage as he watched you with the same intensity as you had watched him. And before you knew it, Woojin had played the last key of the song.
But more than that, you felt pride like you never had before when they clapped and clapped, even as you made your way off stage, face flush with embarrassment and pride. Chan complimented you as you stepped off the stage, and went to announce that there was food in the back as you made your way back to the table.
“You’re amazing.”
“I’ve never done anything like this before,” you admitted and then added, “But you-! You were amazing, I got chills- literal chills- like, oh my god.” You were rambling now. “I’m sorry,” you said, “But that- you’re a big shot. The world needs you to make music.” He laughed and you pinched yourself under the table, trying to convince yourself that you weren’t dreaming.
“You’re nothing more than an angel,” he said, “I wouldn’t be surprised if you came out and told me  you were a goddess right now.”
Your cheeks when cherry red at the compliment, as you smoothed out your dress. “We should,” you paused, wondering if the move you were making was too risky, “um, would you like to duet together, sometime?”
“I was just about to ask you,” he smiled, “and of course, for that, I need your number, don’t I?”
You had to admit, the boy was smooth. His demeanor was a lot sweeter than on stage though. Up there, he looked untouchable, intimidating, like he wasn’t here to play games. He looked elusive, the kind of man you would fall for but never be able to get because you could never get through to him. You found though, that he was all soft and playful adding a bunch of cute emojis next to his contact name.
“Lix?” you asked, “That’s so cute.”
“A lot cuter when you say it, though. It’s short for Felix.”
Your eyes widened again, and you felt a shy smile peek through your blushed face. “I should go,” you said, “It’s already past my curfew.”
“Cinderella, don’t go so soon.”
“You have my glass slipper.”
He grabbed your hand and placed a kiss at the center of the back of your hand. “Until we meet again, angel.”
You couldn’t think about anything or anyone else for the rest of the night.
The past two weeks was full of thrills, even though all you had been doing with Felix was talking. There was some trouble with schedules, he went to a different school than you and as it turns out, was fairly popular at all the underground slightly exclusive clubs. Until one night, he invited you.
lix: im sorry it took so long for me to invite you! but im singing tonight and i’d love it if you came and sing with me
You: no worries! but what song?
lix: trust me, you’ll know it before woojin finishes playing the first key
You had to sneak out again, this show being even later than the first one. But it was thrilling to have to be quiet and be sure your parents wouldn’t notice that you were gone. It might’ve slightly wrong, a little bit dangerous- but that was all in the spirit of a speakeasy. Felix was singing at M.I.A again, and you were anxious, yes, but much more excited to be able to ffeel the flood of pride that you had gotten after you left the stage. The applause, the cheering- you wanted to feel all of that again. You found yourself zoning out during class, thinking about how good it felt to perform. It felt like you, a you that no one had really gotten the chance to see. And then suddenly there you were, on stage, full of charisma.
“The darling of the stage is back!” Chan greeted, “I was afraid you were a phenomena, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A paranormal encounter.”
“Oh, you’ve caught me. But I had to come back, I missed the stage.”
“I’m glad you did, darling. Felix is waiting for you.”
As soon as Felix saw you, a bold smile spread across his face- the kind of smile where his eyes were upturned and they shined. You could feel yourself get more confident as you made your way towards him, you were in your element now- even if it was well after midnight.
“You’re here!” he clapped his hands together, “I’m so excited to sing with you, you know.”
“I don’t know, Felix,” your voice trailed off, anxiety clear in your voice, “We’ve never sung together. What if just doesn’t work?”
He frowned, pouting a bit and grabbed both your hands, staring into your eyes. It was weirdly intimate, but you held the slightly uncomfortable eye contact. “Trust me,” he smiled again, “because that’s what duets are all about. Any doubt? You sing it, okay?”
The speakeasy slowly filled up, and you heard Chan introducing you guys to step on the stage. Before you stepped back on stage, Felix grabbed your hand and whispered in your ear:
“You’ve got this.”
Woojin started playing, and he was right, you did know the song. You walked towards the piano, smiling at Woojin as he played the intro of the song, and dragging the mic with you as you sat on the piano. Your charisma on the stage wasn’t a persona, it was you- maybe it was an escapist version, but you nonetheless. This was the only place where people shared the same passion, intrigue, and infatuation with music as you. Soon, the intro finished and Felix began singing. You were caught off guard, staring at him in admiration. Felix belonged here, he belonged on stage, singing. He belonged on vinyl, singing through the speaker of a record player. It was almost automatic, the way you joined in, harmonizing, and sang your parts. You stepped off the piano, and made eye contact with Felix running your fingers along his jaw and then back as you sang your part, Felix coming in every once in a while to add backing vocals. He was right, you guys didn’t even need to practice. Whatever doubt, any fear you had, came out as you sang.
Even Woojin was coordinated, playing his own solo during the song- it was improvised, but the chemistry the trio of you had was nothing short of magical.
But every good thing came to an end. There was a standing ovation, and even though with though it was a small crowd- you felt proud. You stood there, breathless by Felix, filled with childish happiness. Felix jumped around backstage, as happy and pleased with the performance as you were.
“That was great! Oh, god, I knew it! You were perfect, I could kiss you!” He grabbed you by the shoulders still jumpy and grinning like an idiot. “Say you’ll sing with me again, love,” he pleaded, “You can’t deny it, we have some real chemistry!” Your cheeks were rosy red as he complimented you, all giddy with satisfaction.  “And when you touched my jaw,” he continued, squeezing your hands, “It felt like we’ve done this before, in a past life. So say you will, darling, sing with me.”
You gave him a sheepish smile, “Alright, but only for you.”
He pulled you in a tight hug and kissed your cheek, and your face got rosier. “Really,” he said, “I’ve never seen someone as charismatic as you on stage.”
You looked at the time and realized you couldn’t stay much longer, and couldn’t watch the rest of the performances. “I can’t stay, I’m sorry.”
Still, Felix didn’t let go of your hand. Instead, he kissed it like he did nights before.
“We’ll meet again, Cinderella.”
 Felix made it his mission to text you every day, always concerned about how you were doing and what you were doing and if you wanted to come out. It was endearing, mostly because you found yourself falling for Felix. It felt typical, and you knew that Felix wasn’t short of admirers, so you kept the devotion to yourself. It was easy at first, you would just write songs about him until your fingers hurt, but eventually, even that didn’t help you cope. In the midst of tedious studying, your phone beeped and with it, your heart skipped a beat.
lix ♡: are u busy??? i miss u,,, lets go out
you: can’t lix, i have a lot of hw. AND im grounded
lix ♡: say less
lix ♡: open your window
 This had become somewhat of a routine, your parents had grounded you the last time you snuck out to sing a ballad with Felix. When you came back, they were waiting at the kitchen table and scolded you for being out so late. It wasn’t so much they were upset about you breaking the rules, but instead the matter of being safe. It was the second, and thankfully last, week of your punishment and Felix had been whiny about it. You smiled as you opened the message and looked over to your window, Felix frantically waving and pointing at the window.
“I was about to yell at you!” he whispered, “I haven’t seen you in forever.”
“You came over yesterday, lix, and you only left because we almost got caught.”
“Okay, but it feels like forever! When is your punishment over?”
“The end of this week.” You closed your notebook, knowing you could finish in between classes and noting that Lix would make sure to distract you.
“So you can sing next week, right? I wanna do something special.”
“What do you have in mind?”
“It’s a surprise.”
This might’ve brought you curiosity, but your mind was elsewhere. It had been a couple months since Felix made it a point to sing with you no matter where he went, it had become a popular act at M.I.A, the word spreading and the speakeasy’s filling up and Chan began to get voluntary support for what once used to be just a hobby. The both of you had even gained some popularity on your own with your solos but preferred to sing together. Your anxiety grew as your popularity did because you were afraid of it becoming less authentic. As pretentious as it sounded, you knew that people changed in popularity- no matter the circumstances.
“Hey, ___, what are you thinking about?”
“Nothing.”
“Liar!”
Felix walked to your desk, squishing your face as he looked at you, coaxing a confession. “C’mon love, tell me,” he pouted, “Please, please, please-”
“I’m scared.”
His face softened as he pulled you in a hug, your face squished against his chest. “You like, breathe talent,” he comforted, “You can sing, there’s nothing to worry about.”
“That’s not it. I’m just...What if we change? What if people end up liking you more than me and-”
“That’s not gonna happen.”
“It could, you’re so much more talented than me and so much more emotional.”
“None of that’s true. Besides, we’ll deal with that problem when it comes, if it comes. We have to live in the now.”
“Live in the now?”
“Artists are the only one that understand mortality, so we live large.”
“Famous last words, Lix.”
He let go of you, spinning your desk chair and making you face him, a smirk painted on his face.
“You know what you need right now?”
You couldn’t help but smile even as you said: “No, lix! It’s late! Lix!” He ignored you, pulling you off your chair as you fell into his arms. There was no music, no instrumental, but he didn’t need it. The two of you slow danced as Felix sang quietly in your ear, his deep voice echoing through your body and giving you goosebumps all over. He sang you a couple songs as you closed your eyes, letting yourself calm down as he swayed you in his arms. Felix pulled you away, tucking a hair behind your ear.
“___, I think now is a good time to-.”
You heard your parent’s bedroom door open. “Lix, my parents- you have to go.” You eyed the door, pushing him lightly towards the window.
“Just text it to me, okay?”
He gave you a small, sheepish smile. “Come to M.I.A next Friday, ready for a ballad.” He slipped out the window, and out into the spring wind and you watched as he went down the fire escape. You sat quickly at your desk, flipping to a random page in your notebook as your dad opened the door to check on you.
“Everything alright?” he asked suspiciously, “Thought I heard you talking.”
“I’m fine, a friend just called.”
He scanned your room and then finally nodded, closing the door and sighed in relief. And even though everything seemed fine, you were internally freaking out. It wasn’t like Felix never touched you- skinship wasn’t exactly rare between you two, especially on stage- but that didn’t make it any less flustering for you, and it didn’t exactly help your crush either.
You couldn’t sleep that night.
Felix was asking weird the following week. It was obvious, but more of a subtle feeling. You thought it had something to do with whatever he wanted to tell you, but whenever you brought it up, he changed the subject. But what was most notable, was the fact that not once had he come by to visit and distract you. Usually, you two would meet up to work on song lyrics, along with the help of Woojin for his knowledge in composing songs. But the both of them canceled, and this was something none of you ever canceled, no matter the circumstances. You weren’t oblivious, okay you were, but you knew something had to be going on. So, even though it was a risky move, you snuck out again.
lix ♡: ur coming right??
lix ♡: pls tell me ur coming
you: relax lix
lix ♡: wear smthn like,,, real cool and red!
lix ♡: not that you dont usually look cool
lix ♡: u know what i mean
lix ♡: im gonna stop talking
you: thats a good idea
You had learned from your mixtape last time, and never again would you leave and enter by the front door again. You ran through the streets, realizing you were going to be late if you didn’t move quickly.
“You’re lucky you have the voice of an angel,” Chan teased as he hurried you in, “Woojin has been entertaining the crowd, but everyone’s anxious for the ballad.”
“I’m sorry, I had trouble sneaking out. It’s late you know.”
“I won’t apologize for that, three am is the most honest time of them all.”
M.I.A was full of people, some you recongized from your first time, waving at them as they raised their plastic cups at you. Most of them, though, you didn’t recongized and you swam through the sea of people. Woojin was still playing, giving you a playful glare as you stepped backstage, finally seeing Felix. He was wearing a red silk shirt, slightly unbuttoned and it he looked good.  You were no stranger to matching, but you two had never been this coordinated. But before you could say anything, Woojin transitioned into the ballad. For some reason, the song Felix had chosen barely featured another person. You had sung on your own a couple times, so this wasn’t new, but it was a lot more anxiety-provoking when you had to do it alone. You gave Felix a stern look before stepping on stage, your demeanor completely changing as you felt your weight make the stage's wood floor creak.
You were in your element, you were talented. This was the real you.
The song wasn’t sad, not like the ones you had sung with Lix before, but it was promising, about love and faith. Your favorite part is when the audience caught onto the words, singing along or even bringing out their instruments and playing along with Woojin. And that’s exactly what happened then. Saxophone joined the melody, and then bass. It felt good, to sing and sway- to have your voice be showcased. Felix joined you, and you winked at him as he joined you by your side, gaining a cheer from the audience. Sure, you were flirty as your fingers pressed against Felix’s jaw to make him look at you as he sang, but skinship wasn’t rare between you too. He held prolonged eye contact as you harmonized. But then, the tempo changed and Woojin started to play a completely different song, the rest of the instrumentals joining him in a heartbeat. You were lost and gave Felix a questioning look, but instead of giving you a reassuring look, he smirked. You sat on Woojin’s piano, legs crossed as you leaned back- watching the events unfold before you. Felix started singing a song you had been working on the past weeks, but unable to get just right. And as he got to the chorus, he pulled you off the table and the two of you danced as he looked at you- matching the charisma you had on stage just a minute before. You were unsure of what he was doing, but you danced along- making sure that you looked good, and upheld your charm.
Felix stopped singing, but Woojin and the rest continued to play.
“I know you have to go back to heaven soon, angel, but would you give me the honor of being mine?”
“Is that a real question? You’re my duet partner, it’s destiny.”
Encouragement for a kiss exploded from the crowd, even Woojin stopped playing to join the chanting. So you did.
Nothing changed between you and Felix, excpet for the fact that he would take any chance to kiss you and make sure that you knew that he loved you. You performances continued to get more popular, and the chemistry you has ton stage only grew.
 That’s what was jazz was all about, the 20s have found their roar again.

I feel like your Thresh needs some sick tattoos or something.
Tumblr media
I mean… I never said he didn’t have any. I imagine he could make them appear if he wanted? Like, when reconstructing temporary fake skin, if he thought about it, maybe he could force the color of the ghastly light green/white ghost skin to darken in certain areas? I’ll be straight up honest… I never thought about it before, weirdly enough, which is strange because when i started writing him, his lore was still a prison warden strangled and hung by chains in his prison and not a creepy basement dweller. You’d think he’d have a prison tat or two.
Then, with the lore change, we don’t know much save for he was part of an Order and got the worst job in the history of bad jobs. As my followers may know, I headcanonned him as just a farmer before that happened so… I… guess he could have gotten one or two? I’ve been heavily kicking around the idea his father came from somewhere near the Blue Flame Isles and did carry the beliefs of the Bearded Mother, so its possible Thresh might have gotten a few tattoos styled after that since he probably grew up with tales and stories from his dad about the Serpent Mother. 
…. hmmmm.,,,, 
I’m certainly not against the idea of him having some. It just never crossed my mind. 
Uhh… I guess, throw me some tattoo ideas, then? If you think he needs some sick tats, let me know what you were thinking of.

The Gay Agenda - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 is here! Its a yoonmin chapter, so tuck in and enjoy!
Please keep in mind, sentences written in Italic is what is being said by the panel, or people in the studio. Normal text is what is happening otherwise.
As always, also available on my Ao3! 
(if you want me to tag you every time i update, please dont hesitate to message me and I’ll add it in the next chapter)
To be fair, the flyer had hung in the music department on a bulletin board that explicitly said “Music Work Opportunities” over it. To be even more fair though, Yoongi hadn’t really read the flyer properly. He saw the word competition and immediately assumed it was for writing and producing.
He promptly wrote his application, adding his (maybe slightly exaggerated) sob story of how he’s “wanted to do music since he was little,” and “music is my whole world,” and topping it off with a little bit of “music saved my life, I wouldn’t be here without it”. He also included, what was in his opinion, one of his best works, just the right amount of balance between showing his skill and dissing anyone who dared question his talent and legitimacy.
So, to say he was surprised when he walked onto the property of the address he was told to appear at in his acceptance email and saw the giant flashing, glittery sign reading “The Gay Agenda”, was an understatement. He checked and double checked his phone but nope, he was in the right place. He tentatively approached the building, thinking maybe it was a shared recording space and the show he was supposed to be in would be somewhere in the back. But as he was approaching the building, seeing the sign up closer, he stopped dead in his tracks. The sign looked weirdly familiar. He recognized the colors, the general shape, even the overload of glitter. When it dawned on him, he took out his phone slowly, dreading that it would confirm his suspicions. Sure enough, when he looked at the email one more time, right at the top, was a large, pink, glittery logo, clearly saying “The Gay Agenda”. Fuck. How could he have missed this? Searching back through his email history, he realized the logo had been on all the correspondence he had had with the studio, but he had simply never given the logo any attention.
Wracking his brain on what to do about the situation he found himself in, Yoongi quickly decided to just walk in, tell some secretary or PA or something that this was a giant misunderstanding and get the fuck out of there as soon as possible. Yup, that’s what he would do. Right now. The moment he was able to force himself to walk into the building. Which was….now.
When he finally decided that he looked like a crazy person, whispering to himself in the parking lot of a filming studio, Yoongi managed to actually make his body listen to him and walk into the studio.
It was surprising how little attention was paid to him. Right when he walked in, he almost knocked down a man carrying a clipboard and frantically yelling instructions into a headset. When he attempted to ask about who to talk to about his dilemma however, he was quickly waved off and left there to stand alone. Yoongi walked around a little more, trying to just find someone to talk to, and was just about to just leave and just not show up to whatever this show was, when he stopped dead in his tracks for the second time that day.
Looking back, it seemed like a shitty, cheesy, teenage rom-com. It felt like time had slowed down. His breathing stopped when he saw this…this...angel. That was truly the only way to describe the boy (man?) standing in front of him. He seemed to be glowing, mysteriously being lit up from behind, making him look even more ethereal. (Yoongi realized later it was just a stage light and felt a bit stupid but hey, in the moment he didn’t question it for one second). The boy was blonde, had a small, fucking adorable face, round cheeks, a small but strong stature and looked seriously out of this world.  His very tight jeans showed off his extremely well-toned thighs, which was contrasted by the oversized hoodie he was wearing. Yoongi was speechless. He had never seen someone that beautiful. Sure, he was very open with his preferences, liked pretty much anyone but god damn, something about this creature in front of him made him feel like he had never felt before.
When he came back to his senses, he was staring into the expectant eyes of the new love of his life, who seemed like he had just asked him something. Oh shit.
“Uhh, sorry, what?” Yoongi said intelligently, facepalming inwardly.
The angel laughed. “I just asked if I could help you with something, you seemed a little lost there,” came the reply (fuck, fuck, fuck, he’s so cute). His dazzling smile made his eyes almost disappear into half-moon crescents, his round cheeks bunching up. Yoongi felt a little faint, awkwardly leaning more into the wall to his right in an attempt to keep himself upright.
Five minutes ago, Yoongi was determined to tell the show-runners exactly what he thought and get out of there. But now…. Now was different. So, without him really giving his mouth permission to, Yoongi kind of just blurted out, “I’m here for the show.” Great.
It wasn’t technically a lie. He was here for the show. It just wasn’t what he thought he had signed up for and definitely not something he would ever sign up for had he known, but the situation was completely different now. He doesn’t even know the name of the angel person before him yet, but Yoongi knows he would already die for him. Which….yikes. he really needs to get a grip on himself.
The man once again smiled his million-watt smile.
“Oh great! Some of the others are here already too. Let me take you to the green room so we can get you show ready! I’m Jimin by the way, I’ll be on the show with you! If you have any questions or concerns or anything at all really, please don’t hesitate to hit me up!”
Yoongi was so entranced, he hadn’t even noticed that they had apparently walked to the green room while talking.
“Here you go! I’ll be off to get ready myself then. See you later, cutie,” Jimin said and left Yoongi in front of the closed door. It took Yoongi almost 10 seconds to process that Jimin had just called him cutie and promptly had a mini break down.
When he managed to compose himself, he turned towards the door and with a quick thought of “here we fucking go, I guess”, pressed down the handle.
Ok, so don’t get Yoongi wrong, he is an out, proud, big-ass Bi, but this really wasn’t his scene.
Standing in the doorway, Yoongi just kind of gaped at the room in front of him. There were about 20 other people, presumably the other contestants, who seemed to be massively varied in ages, stature and personalities. Considering his social anxiety, this realllllly didn’t seem to be his thing and for the 100th time that day, he begins to question why he was still there and why he was doing this to himself. The thought of Jimin creeped back into the back of his mind and he just sighed before getting over himself, and walking in.
‘This day is really getting worse and worse,’ Yoongi thought to himself as he was sitting in the crash course that the contestants had to take before being quote “sent out there to do some damage”.
Once again, the only light at the end of the tunnel for Yoongi was that Jimin was the one who was leading the crash course. He had changed out of his causal outfit from earlier and was now wearing a velvet blazer with gold embellishments, an almost see-through white shirt underneath and another pair of sinfully tight black pants. He had a light dusting of eyeshadow on and his hair had been neatly styled. It had taken everything in Yoongi to not moan out loud when Jimin had walked into the room.
Yoongi had also had his makeup done, and someone had ruffled through his hair, but other than that he was still in the same clothes that he had arrived in. Suddenly he felt very underdressed in his sweater jacket, white tank top and black jeans.
A very enthusiastic Jimin began by explaining all the rules and goals of the show to all the contestants once again, which Yoongi was very thankful for, since even though most other contestants looked like they knew all this already, probably being avid watchers of the show, Yoongi had no fucking clue what he was even supposed to do or competing for.
“So, now that we’ve got all the admin out of the way, lets talk strategy!” Jimin said with a large grin on his face.
“Obviously, everyone here will have a slightly different approach. We all have our preferred flirting methods and there is nothing wrong with that, I’m not here to tell you what to do. The point of this is to simply give you some ideas and starting points, should you run out of ideas or need some help getting your brain thinking. So obviously there’s the classics. A little smile, a little bit of beating your lashes, leaning over the counters more than strictly necessary, ‘accidentally bumping into someone’, you know the drill. One of my favourites will always be cheesy pick-up lines, if I’m honest. I am aware that they are not everyone’s cup of tea, and you should definitely try to get a feel for what kind of person they are before you drop one, but if they seem like they would be accepting, they can go a long way. They can be flattering or simply a brilliant ice breaker and they are always pretty funny”, Jimin said with a slight giggle.
Yoongi’s hand immediately shot into the air.
“Yes, Yoongi-hyung, may I call you hyung by the way?”
“Oh yeah of course. Hey Jimin, did it hurt when you feel from heaven? Because someone like you simply can’t be from this world,” he said with a smug smile. Jimin immediately laughed, seeming to put his entire body into the action which made Yoongi’s heart ache fondly.
“Something like that, exactly. You’re a fast learner,” Jimin said. Yoongi couldn’t help but feel a tiny bit disappointed at the fact that Jimin seemed to think he was only doing this for the sake of the course, and hadn’t actually meant what he said, but the light blush dusting Jimin’s cheeks as he continued giving more tips, made him keep a sliver of hope.
“Moving on, all of you must be wondering what today's shooting location will be. Well we are all going to be in a mall that has been completely fitted with hidden cameras and prepped to capture all your interactions. You can choose whether you want to be a clerk in a certain store or just be a customer, its completely up to you. If you choose to be a clerk, I would suggest though that you choose a store that has something to do with your interests, so it looks at least a little bit like you know what you are doing.”
“Will you also be there?” Yoongi asks.
“Yes, I will, I will work at the jewellery store right here in the corner”, Jimin replies while pointing to the store on the map of the mall he pulled up. Yoongi makes a mental note to remember exactly where it is, so he can ‘coincidentally’ walk by as many times as possible later on.
He also takes note of the record store a few stores down. He immediately fills out the form they were given, stating that he would like to work there, since it would make it easier to actually get people to talk to him if he looks to be working in a store, and music is basically his entire life, so it just feels right.
He ends up working in the record store with a barely legal kid called Jisung, who vaguely resembles a squirrel and has way too much energy for Yoongi to handle. Sure, the kids’ cool and seems to really know his stuff. They talk about producing and music for a really long time, since Jisung is interested in studying music production just like Yoongi. Yoongi can tell he has a talent for lyrics and he’s impressed by the rap that Jisung performs for him, but there’s only so much excited talking and yelling and gesturing Yoongi can take all at once.
He decides to go see what Jimin is up to and ‘randomly’ walk by the jewellery store a little bit down the hall.
“Hey Jisung, I’m gonna go out for a while, you good?” he asks Jisung, while already half way out of the door.
Jisung looks like a dear in headlights but replies with a short, stuttered “oh, okay hyung.”
He makes his way to the store and walking in, he is once again blown away by Jimin’s beauty. He doesn’t think he’ll ever get used to it. He approaches the counter and decides, for the sake of the show, and since there are other people too, to just pretend to be a customer.
“Hello, I’m looking to get some custom rings made, do you do that here?”, he asks a confused looking Jimin.
“Uh hi, yeah Sir we do those, what would you like?” Jimin thankfully plays along.
“Okay, so. Hear me out. I want 4 rings, one for each of these fingers (he points to his pointy to pinky fingers) right? And I want them like big ass rings with like glittery stones and like you know those rings rappers have? Like that. And I want each one to be a different letter and I want them to spell out SUGA. You think you can do something like that?”
Jimin looks confused as fuck and maybe even a little bit bewildered.
“Um ok, I think I understand what you mean, Sir. You are aware that this will probably cost quite a bit, yes?”
“Whatever it takes, I’m very dedicated to the idea.”
“If I may ask, why SUGA?”
Yoongi leans in, as if to let Jimin in on a secret and whispers, “because I’m sweet like sugar, babe” while winking horribly.
When he pulls away, Jimin is looking at him with the most done expression on his face that Yoongi has ever seen someone pull.
The audience and panel, who have been watching their interaction from the studio, burst out laughing at the way Jimin looks into the camera like he’s on the office, rolling his eyes so far back, only the whites of his eyes are visible.
“So, what do we know about Yoongi? He seems to be quite the rebel here, hitting on our lovely Jimin rather than literally anyone else,” Heechul says with amusement.
“Well hyung, his application was rather unusual, I must say. Rather than write about why he wanted to be on our show, he wrote about his passion for music, how he’s been playing the piano since he was a kid and boasting about his, admittedly, excellent rapping skills,” Holland explained.
“Wait, I’m confused, why was he accepted then? It sounds like he said nothing about this show and wanting to be on it at all?”, Key questioned.
“Well, with his application, he also admitted a demo song called ‘Cypher pt.3’. The lyrics are well… suggestive of his sexuality. He mentions, and I quote ‘Like you all know my voice turns people on, whether it be men or women, my flexible tongue movements will send them to Hong Kong’. I guess recruitment saw potential?”
“Well my man Yoongi certainly has a lot of faith in his oral skills,” Key said with a way too suggestive wink. “Gotta hope Jimin goes for him or I might have to myself.”
“Now, now, hyung, please keep it in your pants,” Holland mediated, but failed to keep a grin off his face.
While Jimin is a little irritated by the fact that Yoongi is still hanging out with him and clearly not attempting to even look at anyone that isn’t Jimin, instead of actually doing what he is supposed to, he can’t help but feel a little flattered at the fact that this (really fucking hot) guy has chosen to say fuck it, and just hang out with him. He really tries to not encourage Yoongi any further, but as much as he doesn’t want it to, his face eventually betrays him and he starts smiling at the horribly cheesy pick-up lines Yoongi keeps throwing his way.
After he’s finally gotten a smile from Jimin, Yoongi doesn’t leave the jewellery store for the rest of the show, even though Jimin repeatedly tells him that this is not what he’s supposed to do and he wont win if he stays. Yoongi honestly doesn’t give the slightest fuck about winning, considering this isn’t what he signed up for in the first place.
In the end, he gets bad marks from the judges, which was to be expected. He didn’t talk to a single person that wasn’t Jisung or Jimin the whole day and it didn’t even cross his mind to go look for a guy to chat up. On the one hand, it was definitely a consequence of the fact that he had not singed up for this show in the first place. On the other hand, even if he could’ve been convinced to participate, after seeing Jimin, that idea would’ve been scrapped pretty quickly. There was just no way that Yoongi could go after anyone else, when someone like Jimin existed.
After the recording had finished, everyone was back in the green room, changing, taking off their makeup, generally relaxing after a whole day of filming. Yoongi was ready to get the fuck out of there, sick of having a camera shoved in his face all day and his social battery was running pretty low. He was about to say goodbye and bolt, when Jimin walked in again, now back in his jeans and hoodie that he had worn when Yoongi first met him. Sure, Jimin had looked downright ethereal in the velvet outfit he had worn during the taping, but Yoongi couldn’t help but prefer his casual look, messy hair and makeup free face.
“Hey peeps! I hope all of you had lots and lots of fun today! I totally understand if you just want to get home, but I thought I would extend the invitation anyways: me and a bunch of the panel and crew are going out for a drink at a club around the corner, so anyone who would like to, is welcome to come! Well, unless you’re underage, sorry kids!” Jimin said with an apologetic smile towards the younger contestants.
Yoongi reallllllly wanted to go home and vegetate on his couch with a bag of chips and watch shitty reality tv reruns, but deep down he knew, as soon as Jimin invited them, that he would tag along. He hadn’t managed to convince Jimin to give him his phone number all day and he wasn’t about to let this perfect opportunity slip by him.
Which is how a tired, lowkey grumpy and Definitely-Not-Ready-for-This Yoongi ended up in a gay club on a Thursday night with a bunch of people he’d only met that day. He was beginning to regret it though, because as soon as they had arrived, he’d lost sight of Jimin who was being pulled along by some way too hyper kid called Taehyung (Yoongi thinks, he isn’t great with names).
He was about to turn and leave, when he saw him again. Now, up until this moment, Yoongi had believed that Jimin was some sort of angel, sent to him from heaven to make him see exactly what he was missing out on and what paradise would look like. Jimin had been this pure ray of light that was just too good to be true.
But in about 0.01 seconds, his outlook changed a whole 180 degrees. Now he was convinced Jimin was a demon, sent from hell to torture him in any way possible. Not only was he cute and adorable and clearly sculpted by the gods, but the way he was moving those hips and well-toned thighs in those tight pants was downright sinful.  There was just no other way to describe it.
Yoongi’s breath caught in his throat when Jimin turned and made eye-contact with him. His hips never stopped moving and Jimin’s face curled into a lowkey predatory smirk, his eyes dropping half closed (which was about the most attractive thing Yoongi had ever seen in his entire life). Yoongi quickly realized that he had been caught staring and turned away, feeling his face rapidly heat up. He must look like a goddamn fool, caught with his mouth hanging wide open, red as a tomato. Way to be subtle.
He startled when he felt someone tap his shoulder. He spun his barstool around way too quickly and almost knocked over Jimin, who was now standing way too close to him.
Jimin leaned in, so Yoongi could feel his hot breath on his ear, sending a shiver down his spine.
“I saw you looking, hyung. Did you like what you saw?”
Yoongi temporarily lost his ability to speak. He had flirted with Jimin all day, but the boy had only had shy giggles and small smiles for him in return. Jimin being so forward and flirty was throwing Yoongi for a loop.
“Y-yes,” he managed to stutter out.
“You know, hyung, this isn’t a look but don’t touch situation. I wouldn’t mind if you touched, too,” Jimin said and leaned away again to gage Yoongi’s reaction.
Yoongi spluttered for a second, trying to find an appropriate response. Jimin seemed to have mercy on him. He was holding out his hand, an invitation to the dance floor.
Now Yoongi was not a dancer. He was a rapper, a lyricist, a producer. He was excellent at all those things, but dancing? He looked like a drunk grandpa at a wedding.
But when Jimin held out his hand, Yoongi couldn’t deny him. He let himself be dragged onto the dance floor, and when Jimin turned around, pressed his (glorious) ass into his crotch, put Yoongi’s hands on his waits and started to rock his hips, Yoongi’s brain short circuited. He stood completely stiff for at least 20 seconds, before Jimin turned his head to look at him with a questioning gaze. He quickly broke out of his trance, tightened his grip on Jimin’s waist and began to move.
Yoongi didn’t ever think he’d get so into dancing, but he really started enjoying himself. Sure, it was probably due to the fact that he had the hottest man alive grinding, not so subtlety, on his dick but whatever. His hands had migrated under Jimin’s shirt at some point, touching the glorious abs that seemed to be there and Jimin’s hands were fisted into his hair, pulling slightly, not that he minded.
It seemed like Jimin had hit a breaking point, when he suddenly turned around forcefully, cupped Yoongi’s face with both his hands and smashed his lips against his. The instant heat that came over Yoongi was glorious and he couldn’t believe that Jimin was kissing him. He moaned into the kiss, pulled Jimin impossibly closer.
Later, when Yoongi was stroking Jimin’s bare back, who he was lying with his head on his chest, drawing slow circles with his fingers, both of them a little out of breath, he thought back to how his day had started. This was certainly not the ending he had predicted, but he certainly wasn’t complaining one little bit.

fiction meme!
tagged by @onceuponamirror and @raptorlily thank you both! 💕
Fictional characters you relate to?
This, uhh, really depends on the change of season / time of day / day of the week. I am All Over The Place. Plus I tend to relate to various characters despite differences bc like. That’s a huge reason why I like fiction; empathising and relating to people I wouldn’t normally or am not like.
Anyway, getting off my soap-box, I seem to have had a long lasting affinity with; Beverly Marsh, Lilly Kane, Mandy Milkovich, and Pascalle West from Outrageous Fortune (keep in mind a lot of this is less to do with personality and more to do with life experiences).
Book you can read over and over without getting tired of it?
Are prisons obsolete, IT, hp & half blood prince and also prisoner of Azkaban, all about love.
What’s your favorite comfort show/movie?
There are too many I can never just choose one omg. The early Harry Potter movies. San Junipero. Easy rider. Stand by me. Hunt for the wilderpeople. The Goonies. and also I love watching never mind the buzzcocks and the big fat quiz of the year. Parks and rec, and uhh weirdly sons of anarchy. Motorbikes relax me and idk the vibe in the show is so familiar to me its not jarring at all. Idk if I can explain that but /shrug emoji
Which fictional character are you most defensive over?
Nancy Wheeler!!! Lucas Sinclair !!!! Max Mayfield! GINNY and Ron Weasley!!! Tara Knowles!!!
Show you fell out of love with?
So many.... so many. I could go back as far as when they killed Marissa on The OC. Or season 3 of Veronica Mars. But now I love them again and just exclude those parts. I would say Riverdale but that’s a love/hate thing. I never really LOVED it but orange is the new black was a show I was really hopeful for but, of course, no tv show can ever be truly critical of the dominant regime. In high school I watched criminal minds religiously but as my education and personal experiences/comprehension of those experiences has progressed I’ve found cop shows to be entirely unwatchable.
Show you’re most excited for?
It WAS Grace and Frankie but I gotta say season 4 was a little off for me. Still enjoyed it for the most part though. Def The Good Place is my absolute favourite show on right now. I’m also really intrigued about Black Lightning despite my general aversion to superhero stuff, and of course I’m excited for season 3 of Stranger Things. Also I quit watching Peaky Blinders after season 2 as like a delayed gratification thing, I’m so excited to one day catch up on the more recent seasons. Same goes for Westworld. And because I’m utter trash I am always excited for any ep of Geordie shore or Bad girls club 👌
What’s your aesthetic? Both Sarah and Raptor answered this differently so I’m gonna answer for both writing and personal style!
In terms of writing it’s def character internal monologues dealing with their Feelings, esp awkward crush antics, mental health issues particularly grief, anxiety and low self esteem. conflict resolution is a thing I Love to tackle but in like, the end stage. The aftermath of a fight where people repair damage is .... everything to me. and crafting out small, simple, soft moments within lives of chaos/crisis.
In terms of personal style... It’s always dependent on what I’m doing. Like lately everything about me has been screaming “hiking lesbian” bc that is what I am lol. But in general it’s lots of black, leopard print, fishnets, leather and denim. Chunky platform boots and Too Much Makeup. When I was/am teaching it’s just like black leggings and long draped black shirts or cardigans and my standard half moon crescent necklace with as toned down makeup as i can manage (so like, a full face but with black and brown shadows) (in saying that I could never give up my statement lipsticks to the point where someone in tutor evals forgot my name and said “the tutor with the cool blue lipstick is good” lmao. Proudest moment of my life? Yes.)
Favorite fanfic tropes?
I Thought This Person Was The Worst But Then We Fell In Love? Is that a trope? Like not necessarily enemies to lovers but that thing where someone is irritating and completely different from you in every possible way but then your heart does the Thing when they’re around. V different ppl falling in love and finding commonality is my SHIT. But then again I love diff tropes for diff pairings!
My absolute fav thing explored in fic is differing character motivations and how that can create conflict, but how through mutual respect and internal work and self awareness two people can resolve it and choose to be together because they make each other better . This is a huge issue for me because actually it tends to be soulmate au’s that do this the most explicitly but I don’t.... Believe in or enjoy the idea of soulmates . But I love that some people THINK they have a soulmate bc of how much another person helps them be better. Like there are some fics that tackle it and my whole heart is like well, Damn. Soulmate fics where the people who end up together are not the “intended” soulmates? That is it, that’s my fav thing, thanks for listening,,,
Anyway yeah plus of course... there’s only one bed and we have to share it and oh no we woke up cuddling? Who doesn’t love a good classic.
Tagging @heartunsettledsoul @montpahrnah @ninnieamee @sporklift and @tossertozier and anyone who wants to. Sorry if you’ve been tagged already or don’t wanna participate just ignore lol— also if we’re mutuals and you write can you lmk if you wanna be tagged in writing memes bc I don’t necessarily know who writes!! Or who wants to participate in memes! And I wanna know!!! ❤️

AFK Arena Cheats
AFK Arena Guides

There's any other segment this is peaks of time where you may discover loads of mystery treasures. So, there are not any closing dates or time regulations in relation to playing this recreation. You can also play conflict royale. There may be nobody ordinary revel in for a sport writer. I love to cognizance greater on character development. I additionally revel in playing android games. Reverting permits players to revert heroes to a lower ascension tier and get better ascension assets. 2. brought a brand new mercenary hero feature. Gamers can hire heroes from their pals which can be used a restricted amount of instances in the campaign and king's tower. The stages of the hired out heroes are determined via the participant's own degree. 3. introduced a brand new hero reversion function that may be used at the rickety cart if the necessities are met. Reverting permits players to revert heroes to a lower ascension tier and recover ascension resources. Nowhere did i say i wanted an precise copy? I just like the artwork/combat style, it is an idle recreation, god forbid i'm looking for some thing similar in a single way or some other. Ya recognise, something else to play at the same time as my idle game idles. I in my opinion have downvoted one remark, no longer that it topics due to the fact humans will downvote simply to downvote anymore. This sub is attending to the point where no person can ask a query/recommendation without a person ripping their head off or setting phrases in their mouth. Task "secrets and techniques of the forest" is positioned within the tops of time in the tab "darkish woodland". Adventures are traversed.consequently, earlier than beginning the bankruptcy "the secrets of the forest", you need to entire the 2 previous chapters.until the player confirms the of entirety of the venture, the adventure might be considered unfinished. The purpose of the chapter. In this adventure, you need to open the chest with the artifact. It's miles placed inside the critical a part of the right side of the map. But without delay observe the artifact need to not be. Faction scrolls are an incredibly precious aid. The usage of them can allow you to summon heroes from one precise faction, which extensively will increase your odds of obtaining the heroes you need. You can get faction scrolls by means of finishing a number of the campaign quests, by finishing activities, or through shopping them from the store the use of microtransactions. In AFK Arena, heroes' tier can be upgraded. That is finished thru temple of ascension. Essentially, ascension is a technique where you may improve the tier of one hero by sacrificing a few different heroes of the identical faction. Each event would characteristic its own settings, gameplay, features, and most importantly, special rewards. For those of you who are fascinated, the sport is presently loose for all android gamers to enjoy on their cell gadgets. That being stated, you'll locate it quite simple to have the sport installation from the google play store without having to pay anything. With extremely good visual stories, AFK Arena is genuinely amongst some of the first-class cell video games for android devices, particularly in case you're interested by beautiful hand-drawn photos, mesmerizing characters, and powerful visual outcomes. There are also a number of rewards and adventures. As the sport will continue similarly you will find out greater matters approximately it. There are numerous heroes in this sport. Every one in every of them has its personal strong point and that they have a exquisite artwork style. All the art sorts of the heroes are inspired through celtic mythology. At the same time as gambling this recreation your mission can be to preserve on including new cards to the gathering. This sport is pretty enticing so it is able to easily make you drain a whole lot of your time. You'll must create an navy so that it will be having sufficient skill for fighting the enemies and for bringing rewards for you. There's any other section this is peaks of time in which you may locate numerous secret treasures. So, there are no cut-off dates or time restrictions when it comes to gambling this recreation. You can additionally play conflict royale. There is no one regular enjoy for a recreation writer. I love to cognizance greater on individual improvement. I additionally experience playing android video games. 1. added a new feature referred to as "the whale inn", which can be observed at the 'ranhorn' tab. After completing bankruptcy 4, players can be capable of visit and gather presents from pals that are already occupying their own whale hotel. Gamers that own ascended tier heroes and have finished bankruptcy 17 of the marketing campaign are in a position release their personal whale resort. As soon as unlocked, gamers can circulate their ascended heroes into the whale resort. Heroes residing within the whale inn can accumulate 'furnishings', with a purpose to provide their heroes new abilities and expanded stats. - adjusted the ability "confine" so that after there's simplest one targetable enemy at the battlefield it can not be used. Adjusted the capacity "banishment" so that once there's most effective one targetable enemy at the battlefield it can't be used. - fixed an issue that could cause the effects of "divine light" degree 2 to arise whilst most effective degree 1 become unlocked. I failed to assume a lot, i usually pass into those overly hyped, weirdly marketed games with a variety of scepticism however it appears to have been unneeded. Max out their stage? No, it makes no distinction. You'll receive the exp/Gold/essence back while sacrificing it. Could just like to point out that during this particular manual, it mentions that afk rewards cap out at 8 hours, however you could clearly collect up to 12 hours really worth of resources! Heyy, i just desired to invite if we ought to get a gear tier list... i'm new and not sure what to prioritize when i am inside the stores. Uhh korangar, you need to by no means purchase equipment from the shops. There are numerous other popular video games additionally related to it, like upward thrust of kingdoms, soul hunters, art of conquest, and many others. The recent gameplay of them works at the automated gameplay, in which there's a system with a view to keep playing for you, even if you are offline. AFK Arena recreation work at the real-time combat just like therpg. While fighting against the enemy squad, the attacking side of your team will work automatically. You will see two bars with your characters, one is representing their hp, and the other one is representing the ultimate meter.

| My Masterlist |
Tumblr media
Peter never intended to take a wrong turn, or a right depending on how you see it. That first time, he just walked with that lump in his gut that had been lingering for forever. He walked, choked up because it had been his first day back to school and all everyone could talk about was the blip (seriously why is it called that?). And all Peter could do was try not to choke up, try not to let the tears run as he heard Tony’s name.
When the bell rang and they were free to go, Peter didn’t hesitate to get out of there. But instead of the usual survey of the neighborhood and trying to find a way to impress… well, the person he wanted to impress wasn’t there anymore. 
So, he wandered. First, he went the usual way home, but he took a turn sometime before the apartment and wandered straight. Exactly why he walked so long, he didn’t know. Where he ended was in no way on the way home, and checking his clock, he had walked longer than he thought. 
The building he stood in front of was big, three floors tall. Windows lined the orange brick walls, but they were impossible to see through. And the only reason he knew he was at the right place was the giant circular window at the top of the building. Brown lines in the glass created something that hinted to an H but with two strikes through the bottom. Peter wasn’t sure what exactly the symbol was for, but he hadn’t talked much with Mr. Strange to know either. 
With a deep breath, he knocked on the door. Or, he tried to knock, but instead the door opened and he kind of stumbled in trying to regain his balance. The first thing he saw was a set of stairs, and down those stairs, levitated Mr. Strange. Peter gulped at the sight, seeing as the man probably did not want him there. 
“Mr. Parker,” he said, “what may I help you with?” 
Peter shook his head. “Uhh, Mr. Strange, I―”
“Doctor Strange.”
Peter frowned and the sorcerer gestured for him to continue. “Uh, I just walked, like real far, and I’m not sure why I came here but I… I don’t want to go home.” 
“And therefore you came here?” The man raised a brow, but Peter still couldn’t read more of his expression. “I guess this is a hard time for you. May I offer something to drink?”
“Really?” Peter’s eyes widened. “I don’t want to intrude, but…”
Doctor Strange shook his head. “Today, only.” He turned around. “Follow me.”
Peter happily obliged. 
At the top of the stairs, Strange took a right and Peter followed after as fast as he could. The hallway ended in a kind of common room area, where Peter stopped, unsure of what to do. And only sat down as Strange told him to. 
“I’m not gonna be a therapist, I’m more of a surgeon actually, but do you need to talk to someone?” 
Something cool to the touch appeared in Peter’s hands. He looked down to find a coke in his hands, and he glanced weirdly up at Strange. 
“Would you like something else?” the man asked. 
Peter shook his head. “No, no, this is nice. Thank you.” He took a sip, only to down the entire bottle as he underestimated how dry his throat really was. In fact, he should’ve drank water, but he didn’t want to say anything. As he put down the bottle, it refilled and his eyes drifted wide-eyed between the bottle and the Sorcerer in front of him. 
The sorcerer clapped his hands. “Now, please feel free to do homework here, and leave me to do my own work.” 
“I don’t have any homework yet. It was the first day of school today.” 
Strange sighed and shook his head. “Well, you can still leave me to do my own work.” And then the male disappeared. 
---
How long Peter sat there, bored and staring into nothingness, he wasn’t sure, but eventually, he decided to explore a little. He found that the floor he was on was mainly living room space. There were bedrooms, more than one kitchen, or there might only be one but he got confused, and the common area he had been in. At some point, he found a set of stairs that took him into the third floor. 
It was here his curiosity spiked. Everywhere around him, there were bookcases filled to the rim with books. Most didn’t really gain his attention as they were all rather dusty and old, but he figured they were probably all interesting if you wanted to learn. He walked around, and a lot of the things there did not look like magical artifacts, but he suspected they were. 
Most looked like everyday things, like the radio that got his attention. It looked rather old, but maybe it worked. He was about to put his finger to it, when a voice echoed in the room, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”
Peter whipped around to find Strange levitating a few meters away, a book in his hand and a quick glance up at Peter. “Does it work?” asked Peter. 
“Well, if by work you mean it will kill you after one touch, yes. If you mean that it works like a radio, no.” 
Eyes wide, Peter turned back to it once more. “Really, it kills at one touch?” he asked. 
“I wouldn’t try if I were you, but yes, it should.” Strange let out a chuckle behind him. 
Peter nodded. His feet padded over to the next thing that caught his attention; The massive circular window with the double striked H. He turned to look at Strange. “What does this mean?” 
The man levitated over to where he stood. “It is called the Seal of the Vishanti,” he replied, “or the ‘Window of the Worlds’. I wouldn’t expect you to know, but the Vishanti are three god-like Principalities who each exist in their own realm. The Omnipotent Oshtur, Hoary Hogarth and Agamotto the All-Seeing. Together they act as one to empower the magical spells of sorcerers, throughout realities and dimensions, who invoke them. It also protects the Sanctum from a series of threats.”
“Oh, that’s so cool,” said Peter and studied the Seal further. “Are there other cool things here?”
Doctor Strange smiled fondly. “Plenty.”
---
The Sanctum bathes in sunlight that filters in through the windows. Silence has taken over the room, only broken when a page turns or a sigh can be heard. 
Peter hangs from the rafters, sticking to them upside down and turning the pages of one of the books Strange allowed him to touch. He doesn’t understand half of the words he sees, but the pictures are fascinating and he wishes he did. 
He would ask, if it weren’t for the fact that the sorcerer with the answers is levitating across the room, eyes closed and doing something that looks like meditation. As Strange gotten cozy as that, he’d given Peter a very sure stare of ‘do-not-disturb’. Of course, the man had also said to be left alone for at least an hour. 
However, that hour isn’t up yet and Peter has been going through the same book for so long he’s getting kind of bored. He closes the book again, as carefully as he can, and drops down a little to place it on the table underneath him. The thud it makes as it hits the table has him glance to the levitating man, but it elicits no reaction. 
With a sigh of relief, Peter moves around. He knows not to touch anything (or he knows he might die if he does), so he only studies them from afar. But nothing fascinates him long enough to keep his attention, and there are only so many artifacts in the room. Nor does it help that none of them have a description plaque as they do in museum. 
Peter slings around a little more, careful to not use big movements and accidentally knocking something down. Though the thought does cross his mind as the minutes tick by increasingly slower. 
His hazel eyes skim the titles of the books. Nearly every title reads as Book of something. Book of Fire, Book of Demonicus, Book of Shataki, Book of the Vishanti. He finds the fact there there exists something called the Necronomicon (which he thinks has to do about necromancy) highly interesting. Also, The Scroll of Eternity sounds like something he would like to read, though he has no idea exactly how to. 
In the end, as Peter gets to impatient, he gingerly―with a glance to the sorcerer whose eyes are still closed―takes the Book of the Vishanti from the bookcase. After hearing more about the three deities behind the Seal, he wants to know more. Surely, Strange can’t find his interest bad, maybe annoying, maybe a little concerning, but definitely not bad.
Back in the rafters, Peter lets his fingers run along the edge of the book. It feels ancient; rough binding that’s probably only so because it’s old; worn back; papers half sticking out, darkened by the years it’s existed. The cover has the Seal of the Vishanti on the front. It pokes out, feels metallic and cold under Peter’s fingers. 
Opened, the book seems to grow in size, heavier under Peter’s touch. The pages of the book aren’t as worn as they looked before he opened it. A light brown, resembling a coffee stain, creeps its way in from the edges, and the paper itself is a darker, less white shade. On the front page, the Seal of Vishanti greets him again, almost weighing him down. 
Peter placed the book into the middle of his left palm, making sure it’s balanced well so he doesn’t lose it―that would be catastrophical. With his right hand, he turns the pages. Nothing interesting at the first few, much like the usual books he reads. 
Turning the pages, he doesn’t actually seem to understand anything of this book either. He notes some of the words, tries his best to understand them together, but the context makes no sense. To him, it’s just a bundle of words. 
But he does find it entertaining. Making no sense, the book itself just become some lame joke. And Peter laughs, in a way he sees as ‘quietly’. 
Understandably, it is not that quiet. Strange, where he levitates―his hour has to be up soon, right?―peeks open an eye and glances at the smiling spiderling hanging upside down on the ceiling. Peter’s senses tingle to the onlooking eye and he turns to look at the sorcerer. 
“Which book?” comes the deep voice from across the room. 
Peter holds a finger where he is and shows Strange the cover. The Seal being easily recognizable, Strange smiles slightly, which has Peter frown. 
“Good choice,” the doctor says, “but you have no idea what it means, do you?”
He shakes his head. “No, uhh, it’s funny, though.” 
Strange nods, and―Peter is not sure how because the movement doesn’t really exist―levitates to where Peter hangs. “I believe that.” He takes the book from Peter’s hands. With slender fingers, he files through the pages and lands on one in the far back―did the book just gain pages? 
“Here, this should amuse you.” Strange hands Peter he book, a finger pointing to one of the passages. 
Peter takes it. His eyes land where Strange’s finger points. The lines look rather blurry, the pages far more worn here than at the start―odd. He reads one sentence, a smile on his face, and then the next. 
But he only gets halfway through before footsteps are heard. Both Peter and Strange shoot their heads up and look at Wong as he enters the Sanctum. The man raises a brow at the two, both high up in the ceiling instead of the many chairs they could have taken. 
The bewilderment doesn’t last long. “Yo, I’m about to go get dinner, you guys want anything?” Wong asks, his eyes glancing between Peter and Strange. 
Peter’s eyes widen and he nods frantically, nearly dropping the book―thank god for quick reflexes. “Yeah, I’m starving,” he replies, “what’re you getting?”
“Thinking pizza, just to make it easy.”
Water fills Peter’s mouth as he thinks about the many good pizzas it’s possible to eat in New York city. He nods, even more frantically than before. “I would like three, thank you,” he says. 
Both Strange and Wong frown at him. “Three slices?” they ask. 
Peter shakes his head. “Three pizzas.” 
Despite that being a lot of food for one person, the two sorcerers only shrug and nod. Wong looks to Strange, “and you?”
The man takes a deep breath. “Sounds good.”
Now it’s Peter’s and Wong’s turn to stare quizzically at Strange, but he doesn’t seem to notice. Wong shakes his head and rolls his eyes in Peter’s direction, making the teenager try to hide a smile. 
“I’ll be back soon.”
Peter wishes it’ll be here now. There are two sorcerers in this building, can’t they just magic the pizza?

9: What is a concept you’d like to see Stray Kids try in the future?

10: if you could meet with the members of Stray kids for one day what would you say to them?
> ahhh!!! i dont know they all too too well but i would love to tell them that i feel that they are different from any other kpop group i have ever seen, bc they all seem genuinely happy and they are like the coolest bros and their friendship with each other is something that i could only dream of!! also ive heard that their songs have rad lyrics and they work super hard so i look up to them for that!!!1!!! <
