#karina alphabet love

[b000mbayah]

loved your alphabet love with yeji, could i request one with karina from aespa? 🫣

Of course, thank you for reading my posts 🧡

•──────────⋅*⁰*♡*⁰*⋅──────────•

Attention

Karina loves your attention. She loves to come home after a long day of work to your love and kisses- it's like her safe haven and she's not scared to admit it either.

Beauty

The beauty of your relationship is two juxtaposing ideas. It's both fragile and powerful. It's fragile in the sense that all things fragile simply look stunning and powerful in the sense that you're both a power couple- you could easily stand out in a room if you wanted to.

Comfort

Karina would loosely wrap you in her arms, whispering sweet nothings into your ear in hopes of lifting your dampened spirits. She'd happily give you a small performance, dancing and singing and all just to see you crack a smile. Just please don't ask for aegyo, that may just kill her.

Dreams

Karina oftenly dreams of you and your future together. She'll especially dream of you if she's on tour and hasn't seen you in a while.

Equally

Karina likes to hold a higher status- only in a caring sort of way though. She'd love to have more control over making you happy as that's all she truly values- your happiness and safety.

First encounter

You had first met at her work surprisingly enough. Your cousin had eagerly dragged you to one of her fan signs. Karina will forever explain it was a "love at first sight" kind of situation.

Gratitude

Karina couldn't be more thankful if she tried. All those late night rehearsals and early disappearances has her constantly feeling like a bad girlfriend for leaving you. But with your persistent reassurance, she could never truly express how grateful she is to have such an understanding partner.

Hugs

Back hugs all the way. She'd wrap you in one of her blankets from behind just because she simply felt like it. Would nuzzle her head into the side of your neck, smiling silently to herself as she thinks of how lucky she is to have someone as amazing as you.

Interests

You have some common interests, but you also have some different interests. Not everyone is the same, and you both get that. She'd be more than open to giving your interests and hobbies a try though!

Jealousy

Karina wouldn't be jealous on the outside per say, but more so on the inside. Karina knows how to handle situations somewhat well, but if the person gets too pushy, she'll step in with a polite smile and a hand snaked around your waist as she pecks your cheek.

Knowledge

Karina has some knowledge, but it's decently old. Having been in the music industry since 2016 has had a strain on her dating experience and knowledge and if she has dated someone within that period and you- it was heavily restricted.

Love confession

Karina had shyly shown up at your apartment, your favourite flowers and snacks like some love drunk teenager. Her face was red the entire time as she tried to hide behind her hair. Even charismatic people have their shyest moments.

Memories

Karina takes pictures oftenly. She stores them like they're the gold to her dragon's den. She wants nothing more than to look back on them one day with you, remembering the days when you were young now that you've grown old together. But she'll always truly treasure the first picture she took, she'd have several printouts of that one.

Naps

Would have you in her arms on either the bed or the couch with multiple blankets covering your intertwined bodies as you sleep blissfully in each other's presence.

Opportunities

Karina feels bad if she ever misses something big due to work so she'd make it up to you one way or another. You know she'd never purposely miss any open opportunities for your relationship to grow.

PDA

Would happily hold your hand in public. She'd lock arms with you, kiss you on your cheek, forehead or knuckles whenever. Sometimes she just does it out of randomness and laughs about your processing face.

Quality

If you were to interrogate your dearest girlfriend, she'd happily and definitely freely admit that this is the best relationship anyone could ask for. Having the cutest, kindest and most interesting partner in the world is her blessing.

Romance

Karina can't help the sudden surges of love she gets for you, often leading to random date nights when she gets home. She'd ring up your favourite restaurant or place of entertainment to purchase a seat/ticket for that evening just to arrive home and surprise you.

Support

Karina would support you till the extinction of all things known and unknown. She'd support you through the toughest times and the most simplest of times. She's always here for you, just remember that, okay?

Thrill

There's always a thrill with karina. It may not be constant since she is reasonably sensible when required, but as sensible as she can be, she can be equally as goofy and thrilling if you'd like.

Understand

Karina is very understanding. Need to sit down and talk about something? You got it. Need to explain your point in an argument? She'll definitely try her best for you. Karina wants things to work out like a match with a never ending flame. She'll do whatever she can within reason. Just don't go around killing people please.

Vows

Karina vows to stay by your side through all obstacles in life no matter the cost. She knows what she wants, and that's nothing more or less than to be yours and for you to be hers. One day she'll marry you, and it'll be the happiest day of her life.

Work

She loves bringing you to work. The energy you bring with you helps her get through her day, you're like her support station, just more lovable and beautiful. She loves coming to your work too, exploring other occupations outside of her one will never fail to cut ends to her curiosity.

XOXO

These four letters represent more than anyone could ever think. They represent the never ending circle of her love for you and she'd happily remind you of that everyday.

Youth

Your relationship is relatively young in comparison to most others, but that's nothing to be ashamed of, it just proves how much you can grow together.

Zany

Karina is down to be strange with you, freaking out the neighbours? She'll be there gladly.

Masterlist - groups

I've decided to make two masterlists for those who want to read my stories. This one will feature them aggregated by group, catering to those who like them the most when they come from certain groups. The difference between this one and the chronological list is that a story can appear more than once under different groups, in case either the idol has been part of more than one group or idols from different groups are featured, therefore making it a much longer list. Idols who only appear as secondary/off-screen characters are not mentioned, only those who perform the smutty stuff. Series will also be added under this masterlist.

I will only use the soloist tab for idols who were never part of a group, those who are soloists but are/were in a group will be listed under their groups (e.g.: Somi under I.O.I, Taeyeon under Girls' Generation). Also, the group has to be somewhat relevant in their careers to appear. For example, most know Eunbi from Iz*one, but not Kazoo from Ye-A even though they are the same person, same for the Dreamcatcher members who started under Minx. Also, needless to say, only kpop groups (no, I'm not putting every 48G group Sakura was under). The groups will be listed in alphabetical order, the stories inside each group in chronological order and the convention will be as it follows:

karina fluff alphabet when? 😭😭

now? 🥲

candy -> yu jimin ver

aka the fluff alphabet

admiration (what does she absolutely adore about you)- i can’t say you whole because that would be too cliche, but it’s kinda true. she looks at you with those heart eyes like you build her world brick by brick

body (what’s her favourite body part of yours)- karina the typa girl who’d poke your lip a little lol. running her thumb over it—she loves that shit. you have so many lip balms because she says they remind her of you

cuddling (how she likes to cuddle)- i think she likes looking at you when you’re cuddling. just because you look so cute up close, yk? (with rizz 🫦) so she loves you laying your head on her lap, or you cuddling up to her chest <3

dates (what’s her ideal date)- cat cafe typa person. you’re eating yummy pancakes AND a cute little cat is purring on your lap? alternatively she’d love to hear some classical music for a late night outing, like going to an opera just for the sake of it. she’s a sucker for classical music i’m telling you 😔

emotions (how does she express her emotions around you)- with that, she doesn’t really hide. you’re her girlfriend, you both should communicate your emotions to ensure a happy relationship:)

family (does she want one)- maybeee..? she’d like kids at home but not maybe all of the time. i think you two would be the rich gay aunties who spoil their little nieces if anything

gifts (what about gift giving)- she’s not to big on that tbh. in the love language section i get more into the details, but karina prefers acts of service over gifts, she’ll also love if you do it back!

holding hands (does she like to hold hands)- not in public!!! but at home? she has to hold your hand while you’re watching movies or she’ll just spend the whole time looking at you with a pitiful pout on her face

injuries (what would she do if you got hurt)- hurt=papercut: kisses it better and runs to get you a bandaid. “wounds heal better when you kiss them”; hurt=broken leg: when you get the cast, she carries you around everywhere 😭 you’re like a backpack now, glued to her back. now imagine the muscles she’ll build with that workout…

jokes (does she like to joke around)- dry ass dad jokes and you can’t convince me otherwise. karina would use bad pick up lines on you, the ones you’d find on tiktok or smth. she’d be so proud too 😭😭😭

kisses (how does she like to kiss you)- i’m thinking hand on your cheek, caressing your skin gently when she leans in to peck your lips <:)

love (what’s her love language)- acts of service. brings you coffee in the morning, offers to give you a massage when you come to her tired after a long and busy day. she thinks gifts are nice, but not personal enough. karina wants you to feel how much she adores you

memory (what’s her favourite memory together)- seeing you on the street one day 😭 first time you two met it was raining heavily and she won you over by running to you with her umbrella, mustering up all of her rizzing nature 😔 the memory still makes her stomach flutter

nighttime (how does sleeping with her look like)- big on being the big spoon, then cuddles up to you like a cat in the middle of the night. she just needs to be warm ok. you think you’re in a relationship? you’re her personal heat pad

oddity (what’s one quirky thing about her)- karina is a massive loser i am telling you

pet names (what does she like to call you)- ‘babie’, ‘my cutie’, ‘dearest’. maybe also variations of your name like ‘y/nnie’, ‘y/nny’ etc

quality time (how does she like to spend time with you)- imagine for a second that you play some instrument, like piano. now stay with me, she absolutely adores it. wants you to play her silly pieces, like parts of their songs or chopin’s waltz’s.

rush (does she rush into things)- after that previous relationship? no thank you 💖

secrets (how open is she with you)- tells you about how she stole a pencil from her best friend in third grade, a secret she promised to take to grave with her, but refuses to tell you her parent’s names until you’re together like a year. silly things > personal info

time (how long did it take her to confess)- you tricked her into confessing ☝️ girlie wasn’t picking up on your ‘subtle’ signs (visiting her every two days for a month straight) so you talked about hot idols you’d have a crush on until she admitted to hating when you spoke about others because she wanted you to be hers 🤙

upset (what’s her reaction when you’re upset)- karina needs help then lol. she won’t know by herself what to do. maybe if you’re upset over something minor, like her forgetting to give you a kiss when she was leaving in the morning, she’s just kiss you to apologise when she’s back? otherwise the whole aespa is recruited as a rescue squad lol

visibility (is she afraid of the public opinion)- terrified 👍 we all know how fans reacted to her last public relationship so… idk if she would wanna come out with you until you’re like getting married 🥲

warrior (how often do you fight)- i think she’s a little scared to fight honestly. she thinks fighting would make you see her weak sides and she’s just scared to loose you :(((

x-ray (is she able to read you)- yes but also, karina is a loser trapped in a hot body let’s be honest. she just doesn’t pick up some clues :( poor baby thinks you’re coming to their dorm just because and it takes a lot of convincing for her to understand your one on one late night hangouts are in fact dates

yes (how would she propose to you)- in the most corny ass way you can think of. sappy love confession under the moonlight OR maybe she’d propose if dispatch somehow caught whiff of your relationship lol. then it would be rushed tho

zen (what makes her feel calm)- hear me out, driving around. especially, driving around a motorcycle. i don’t think she has a motorcycle license lol karina just gives me the vibes of someone who, when she’s stressed, would ask you to get with her on her bike. also, wrapping your arms around her waist ☝️🤓

𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒐𝒏/𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒔 -𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒂

pairing: yu jimin x fem reader

genre: drabble, fluff, angst, part 1

wc: 400 approx

note: inspired by danelion/roses by jaehyun

You felt the wind getting sucked out of you when she mentioned his name. One of her hands on your shoulder while she ecstaticly talked about the beautiful garden, the serene weather, every word he uttered and her reaction when she received the roses from him. Worst of it all, karina looked happy, thousand smiles forming into her eyes when she said the most dystopian hurtful things to you right on your face. What do you mean someone asked her out? And she actually said yes? Does it even make sense? Whatever you thought negatively about this year, this sure wasn't your list. You are in love with your bestfriend Yu Jimin ever since the crack of dawn. But if you ever have to pinpoint a certain scenario where exactly you fell in love with her it'll be this-

You were crying in your room. Both spiritually and mentally tired. Your favourite college has yet again rejected you. All the hard work, just sleeping enough to keep going, missing meals flashed in front of your eyes. Despite this, you still couldn't make it. Cooped up into a corner, you cried endlessly. Suddenly, you could hear an unlocking noise coming from the door. It was Karina, with pouted lips, furrowed eyebrows and hands on her hips. She was well what seemed looked angry. "Y/N!!"

"wha-- t?" You wipe your eyes sheepishly.

"Let's go!"

"Huh? Wher--" she takes your hands and grabbed so hard you tumbled standing up. "Cmon" she said snatching you away from the dark room. You ran, following her lead to a nearby field. It was minutes before the sunrise. She stood beside you, the sky still twinkling with faint bits of stars. She smiled at you, tucking a wild dandelion behind your ears; she just had plucked from ground. Without saying anything, that comforted you. Words come when you really need them. In this particular moment, not an alphabet was exchanged. Just her eyes turning a different shade with the rising sun. Her hands tangled up in yours and the wind flowing back to where it came from. That's perhaps the moment where you fell in love with her.

She is the end to all your worries, ray of hope as to why to live. Someone to stitch the torn pieces of you back together. The ocean would drown if you care to explain how deeply you feel about her. It's evident. The way you dream of her after a long day, listen to music you'd never listen just because she likes it. Sketching every bit of her face in an excuse you are an artist. Wait for an hour everyday after classes when she is late due to the club activities. Listen to her go on about the boys she hates in her club, swing her hands to and fro happily walking back to home. It's see through, anybody can get how you look at her eating the ramen you made for yourself. But her voice saying "I love you yn" followed by a grin makes up for it everytime.

Even the things you love can hurt you. As you are sitting on the dining, the soft peek of the sun from the curtains, falls on the basket of cherry tomatoes lying in front you. Something Karina brought two days ago, untouched. The shade of it, red, reminding of the roses that boy bought for her. Your head gets hazy, you lose the remaining apetite and fall back on your couch. When the familiar place started grasping you, making you drift into sleep; you hear a knock on the door.

hole in one. — 141. it'll be heaven.

⌕ synopsis: at one of the most prestigious universities in the country, where everyone is battling to be the center of attention, yu jimin is just a regular. people want her because of her beauty, but all she cares about is sharing her freaky stuff with her friends and passing her subjects. although there's one thing that might push her out of her comfort zone, revenge. when nakamura kazuha, one of the richest and most well-known students of NCU, starts to spread gossip about her for thousands of followers to see, jimin decides to get back by taking away the thing kazuha cares about the most: her perfect girlfriend, the young golf star, kwon haru.

[written chapter]

"guys, i ran out of battery on my phone." reported seungkwan from his seat.

"i told you to charge it before you left." reproached yunjin.

"i got distracted by leveling up in candy crush and forgot." defended the boy.

"how many students are there?" questioned minhyuk with an irritated tone. "i'm hungry."

"me too, i didn't have breakfast." shared juyeon.

"why didn't you have breakfast?" asked ningning.

"i didn't have time." explained the older keeping her eyes on the stage where students continued to pass by to receive their graduation diplomas. "minhyuk was supposed to go wake me up, but the bastard showed up fifteen minutes before we had to leave." she reminisced in frustration.

"at least i remembered to come get you." said the jock.

"no, it's okay, i already know you, i should have predicted it." dismissed.

"excuse me? we're all entitled to one last chance." he lashed out with mock offense.

"you never got anywhere early in your whole life, you're not starting now." replied eunseo.

"i can change..."

"... uchinaga aeri." the voice of an older teacher echoed through the auditorium where the graduation ceremony was taking place, grabbing the attention of the entire group of friends and thus interrupting their conversation.

"up, up!" commanded juyeon.

everyone stood up and began to applaud their friend as she was taking her diploma. haru, minhyuk and juyeon with their phones held high recording the whole process as if they were three proud parents, the last two even shouting some chants of pride and love to the japanese girl, who wanted to die of embarrassment and made countenances at them telling them to shut their mouths. they were genuinely happy for their best friend.

aeri received her certificate, had her picture taken with it and then proceeded to walk off the stage towards her spot again and let the event continue with the next students.

haru was in a good mood that day, of course she was. her best friend was graduating, and in the same class was the girl she loved, who she would finally have in the flesh next to her after agreeing that they were going to be fine. it was a good day.

the golfer followed giselle with her eyes until she was in her chair, and then she tried to locate jimin among her classmates, but it was such a large group that even if she tried to look for them alphabetically, she wasn't being able to find her.

as her eyes wandered around the place in search of her favorite human, she came across someone she hadn't expected to see at all,

nakamura kazuha.

the girl was standing next to an empty seat, presumably hers, at the edge of the small aisle that formed between the student area and the guest's, trying to get a better view of the proceedings.

it had been almost as long since she had last seen kazuha as it had been since she had seen karina before the wedding, so the girl was a particular sighting, to say the least.

kazuha was still living in seoul and playing golf at the rottary club, as usual. the last kwon had heard, she had joined a professional team.

kazuha possibly felt the watchful eye on her, as she turned to look for the reason why she felt observed, finding her ex with a dumbfounded and slightly goofy expression. as they made eye contact, they both gave each other a shy smile and the younger girl raised her hand, waving it and greeting haru.

the sudden feeling of familiarity came over her, and the eldest began to walk past her friends until she could step out of the small place where their seats were and approach the girl.

"hey." greeted her, somewhat hesitantly.

"hey." returned the chestnut with a big smile on her face.

"hey." repeated letting out a nervous giggle, then looking to the side and giving a nod to sakura and eunchae, the japanese girl's mates, who were accompanying her.

"i didn't imagine you'd come over." she shrugged.

"how can i not approach when i haven't seen you in years?" she settled in next to her, both of them with their eyes towards the scenario.

"well, it's not like we were splendidly two years ago." she remarked. "how have you been?" she wondered looking sideways at her.

"bad," kwon went silent, contemplating her answer, eliciting a frown of concern from the girl. "but i'm fine now." she assured her.

"are you sure?" she put her hand on her back to show reassurance. "what happened?"

"don't worry, i'm serious." she nodded her head, reinforcing her words. "i don't know if you know i moved..."

"of course i know, haru." she cut in, her tone carrying a hint of sadness.

"well, it was the moving, the new town," it was obvious she wasn't going to mention the main reason for her pain to her former girlfriend. "i couldn't play golf for a long time." she added, downplaying her words. "you know, it was hard." she concluded. "but i'm fine now, really, how have you been?" she rested her gaze on her, expectant for an answer.

"i've been fine." she assured calmly, removing her touch from haru's body. "i'm on a team, my teammates are good, they are talented. we will prepare to participate in the championship next year." she said defiantly.

"oh, then we'll be rivals." she cocked her head confidently and stretched out her hand for kazuha to shake. "may the best one win."

"you say that because you're the best." she narrowed her eyes, judging her. "and aside from golf..." she folded her arms, thinking. "i don't know, not much has happened." she sighed not knowing what to tell. "i graduated last week." she commented. "you didn't come." chastised kazuha, as an innocent comment.

"sorry." haru lowered her head, an ashamed smile on her lips. "you went to mine even when we had been broken up for months, i should have go since i was in town."

"don't worry, haru, just kidding." she gave her a gentle nudge with her elbow. "you didn't have to come." she understood. "it's enough that you came over to talk to me now." she brought her hand to the back of her neck and squeezed from both sides playfully to comfort her, causing them both to laugh. "you came to see aeri?" she changed topics, returning to the situation they were in.

"yes, obviously, we all came." she took a glance at where her friend was sitting. "and well, jimin too." she admitted, feeling out the younger girl's reaction.

"oh." her mouth hung slightly open and her eyebrows raised as she processed what she had just been told. "so, you two...?" she raised her index finger to point at her, then wagged it around as if trying to finish her sentence with her gestures.

"it's complicated." she sentenced. "we met again recently." she didn't want to give away too much information.

"sure." she took a moment. "i hope you two do well." she encouraged, seemingly sincere.

"thank you, zuha."

"tell her that..." she took a big breath of air, gathering courage to let her pride go. "that i'm so sorry."

both pairs of eyes met for the first time in the entire talk, and haru saw in her a glimmer of the kazuha she once loved. a kazuha who could become tender and sensitive, a kazuha only she seemed to have known.

"i know it's not going to change anything." her hands danced in the air illustrating her attempt to explain herself. "or maybe after all this time it doesn't matter anymore." she closed her eyes for a second, recomposing herself. "but if you can, and want, tell her i'm really sorry." she lifted her eyelids, letting her guard down.

"i will."

haru felt something inside her stir, the memories. seeing kazuha in that place felt surreal to her, but apart from that talking to her brought back a feeling that mixed both the familiar and the unfamiliar. she could never hate her, after all, haru had always been one of the few people who couldn't do that at all. seeing her there, being a bit of who she once was, blinded something in her brain, and her first instinct was to lean in and hug her.

"it's good to see you." she whispered, her chin resting lightly on her shoulder. "and it's good to hear you're sorry." she moved her hand along her back.

"i want to apologize to you too, haru." at that moment, she finally dared to raise her arms and reciprocate the woman's gesture. "sorry for ruining that nice thing we had." her voice sounded a little shaky.

"i don't need you to apologize to me." she shook her head even if the girl wouldn't see it. "i chose long ago to keep only the good parts of your time in my life."

the older girl stood up straight, breaking the hold they had on each other. she arranged her locks behind her ears and connected their gazes, which were flooded with nostalgia and affection. between the two of them, there was no more romance, but there would always remain the deep adoration you have for someone who was once your confidante and security.

"... yu jimin." this time it was a female professor's voice that announced the name, interrupting the moment. again kwon had not heard the introduction.

"oh shit." exclaimed kazuha in surprise. "your girlfriend." she centered her focus on the student body area. "go!" she put her hands on her arm and began to push her back into her seat.

"kazuha, it was good to see you-"

"yeah, yeah, we'll meet again when we compete, now go, jimin is graduating." she didn't let her finish, rushing her.

"wow, you've changed."

"go!" she insisted, ending in both of them letting out a few laughs at the interaction and haru returning to her seat.

the athlete took out her cellphone as she had done with aeri, and pointed it at jimin, who was walking up to the stage. with great joy on her face she took a few photos of her as she received her diploma, then locked the device and put it away so she could applaud her and watch her personally.

when karina stood for her picture with the certificate that she had finished her studies, by coincidence, or a bit because she was looking for it, she found haru in the audience, and couldn't help but stop and admire her as she was happy for her. so in the final image she was not even looking at the camera, but to the side, full of love.

the ceremony was over and the group of friends had ventured out in search of the new graduates, parting in each other's close circle.

minhyuk, eunseo and haru were with giselle and her parents, showering the girl with hugs, affection, congratulations, and taking pictures of her. each one posed with her individually for the camera, and then they did it all together, then with the parents. they would have enough documentation of that moment to fill an album so they would have to forget the picture they had taken of her earlier where she was begging her friends to keep quiet.

minhyuk even cried, claiming he couldn't believe that the youngest of the group had already finished her college years. they had met when they were just teenagers, and now they all had degrees and their futures planned.

jimin was first greeted by her family, who warmly congratulated her on her achievement, and then her friends arrived, who, of course, started a magazine-worthy photo session in the middle of the auditorium. seungkwan even lifted up ningning, who was holding a phone with the flashlight on, in order to properly illuminate the picture that winter was taking of yunjin and jimin.

after, they became involved in a hyped conversation, but the girl could not stop diverting her interest to the group surrounding the uchinagas.

she had already been welcomed and showered with compliments for what she had accomplished, she just wanted to run to haru and have her close finally. but over there, they kept crying and hugging each other sentimentally.

it was while her loved ones were talking about the different job offers karina had on the table for her future, that she turned to see what was going on in the other gathering of people and noticed a bored haru, as they were not doing anything in particular, she was distracted scanning what was going on in her surroundings.

she took the opportunity as her own and excitedly ran towards the oldest, who noticed her approaching her euphorically and opened her arms waiting. jimin's body crashed into haru's, with enough intensity that the latter slightly lost her balance and had to take a few steps backward, dragging yu.

"how is my favorite graduate?"

she wrapped her arms around jimin, with one holding her body tightly and one hand wandering through her hair subtly. the younger clinging to her waist as if there was a hurricane around and the girl was the only thing she could hold on to.

"actually, that offended me." giselle's voice was heard from behind.

"you're my favorite too." she detached her hand from the blackhaired's back to point her finger at her friend.

"you can't have two favorites." aeri held her waist and brought all her weight to one leg as she judged with her gaze.

"later you discuss it." karina made a rambunctious gesture indicating for them to be quiet. "hello." she whispered, as she pressed her forehead together with the haru's.

"hello." she replied in the same volume, just for her to hear, showing all her teeth from the joy she felt. "i'm so proud of you, princess."

"thank you, baby." they stared at each other stupidly for a few moments. "i missed you." she added, finally being able to say it to her face.

"i missed you too." she lifted herself up a little, getting to the height to leave a delicate kiss on her nose. "you look good." she exclaimed in amusement taking a few steps back so she could observe her full body, their hands enlaced.

"don't i?" she took one foot off the ground giving a short hop and cocked her head to one side with a cheeky expression. "i'm the most adorable economist." she ran her hair making it fly back, continuing the joke.

haru's smile spread even wider and her eyes, or what could be seen from between those cavities that formed moons as they narrowed, sparkled as they followed karina. the girl could no longer contain the wave of beautiful emotions beating against her chest, and she walked briskly to catch the younger girl again and lift her into the air, spinning around, accompanied by her giggles.

the golfer slowly stopped, but before she set her down, jimin took the chance to use the hold on her neck and the closeness to her ear to murmur to her, in a tone that mixed melancholy and absolute happiness: "being like this with you seems like a dream."

"don't worry." she released the girl once her feet were on the ground. "it's not." she caressed her cheek tenderly. "i'm really here, and i'm happy to be." she reassured, comforting the girl.

jimin stopped to admire her. even with her words, she found it hard to understand that she was real. she felt like it was an angel in front of her. she loved her, in such an overwhelming way that jimin thought it escaped from her heart and took over her whole body, leaving no room for her blood, organs or veins. she loved her with all that she was.

"come!" the younger girl exclaimed abruptly after remembering something, startling the sportswoman with her sudden change of attitude. she took her hand and then started walking quickly.

they approached where jimin's acquaintances were standing, stopping short in front of them. haru felt a little shy since she had never met the girl's parents. off to the side, her friends watched the scene proudly, after all they had accompanied her through in those two years.

"mom, dad, this is my girlfriend." she held out her hand to the girl, who bowed as a greeting of respect to the elders, but looked a little puzzled. seeing her reaction, yu realized the label she had used and felt nervous. "my thing." that wasn't good either. "my haru." she corrected herself. "this is haru."

"so you are haru..." the man said, taking in the person in front of him.

"the golfer!" the lady recalled.

"that's what people know me for." agreed kwon, extending her hand to the couple.

"jimin used to make us watch your matches when she was at home." commented the father, causing the named one to cover her embarrassed face. "you know, i really like golf too..."

to no one's surprise, everyone got along well. haru was incredibly likeable after all, and it filled jimin's soul to see the most important people in her life excitedly engaged in conversation.

a few minutes later, giselle approached them to remind that they were all going to eat at a restaurant later to celebrate. there was a reception for all the graduates, but they preferred to go with their best friends.

they had been there for at least two hours, but they had only started eating. although everyone had been drinking and chatting since they arrived.

it was amazing how the two groups had found each other and managed to get along, despite the things that had happened between them.

at one end of the table were seungkwan and minhyuk, the latter had his arm around the back of the other's chair, wrapping it around him. they were distracted in a debate about whether fries tasted better with ketchup or cheese, and it was endearing to see how the chef never stopped laughing at anything that came out of his boyfriend's mouth, while the golfer gets fascinated listening to the things he told. they had a nice relationship, they understood each other in humor, and had similar tastes, they were boyfriends and friends at the same time.

the rest of the girls were sitting one on each side, across the table. it wasn't an abysmal distance, but they were still carrying on an almost shouting conversation, laughing uproariously, with eunseo leading the chatter they were engaged in, which was largely gossip. to one side of the oldest redhead, minjeong was quiet and smiling, drinking her beer and stealing loving glances at her now wife.

and in one corner, haru and karina were in their chairs next to each other. the older one's hand rested comfortably on the graduate's leg, who was brushing her fingers along the other's body in search of contact. both were attentively listening to what the others were saying and would let out a giggle when someone made a funny comment. sometimes starting short exchanges of words only between them, but mostly just enjoying the moment.

juyeon was trying to explain something to yunjin, who was looking at the others with bewilderment as she didn't understand what she was hearing. the girl's expression was funny to her friends, even to jimin, who burst out laughing when she saw her and leaned on haru for support. once it passed, she stayed in that position, with her head on the golfer's shoulder, and after a moment, she wrapped the arm that the girl had holding her with her own, clinging completely to her.

"i love you." said the blackhaired, leaving a kiss on haru's cheek.

"i love you." she reciprocated, turning her head so she could look at her face.

"sorry for introducing you as my girlfriend to my parents today." she casually mentioned.

"no worries, i guess i will be at some point anyway." she shrugged with plenty of attitude.

"oh? so that's how you think..." she gave her a playful pinch. "if so, then why aren't you right now?" she bit her lip expectantly, embarrassed that her heart was pounding at the inquisitions of what she had said.

"you haven't asked me yet." haru explained without giving it much thought and then leaned over to pick up her glass and take a swig of her drink.

"do i have to ask you? i was waiting for you to ask me." she pointed a finger at herself.

"no, clearly you have to ask me." she sipped again, looking defiantly at her over the glass.

"would you be my girlfriend?" karina asked hurriedly, so fast the words were barely understood. her eyes painted with anticipation.

"you're asking me here? with minhyuk present?" she exclaimed ironically.

"what did i do now?" questioned the boy across the table.

"you don't care." the girl dismissed him without even turning to look at him, getting him to throw his hands up in the air in disbelief.

"you must have done something." eunseo accused him, triggering one of their silly arguments.

"come with me." jimin got up from her seat and started walking. haru obeyed and went after her.

"where are you going?" the sportsman vociferated.

"you don't care." repeated her best friend.

"kwon haru, i'm not liking your antics!" he complained offended.

the two girls continued on their way, jimin sure of where she was leading and haru, a little lost, behind her. they arrived at an almost completely unoccupied side of the restaurant, from the main hall of the place you couldn't see clearly and there were few tables, at the end of it, a double glass door that the now economist opened to pass through, the one who was following her also passing by it.

behind it, there was a rather small backyard, which was blocked by trees and bushes. beyond the decorative forestation, there was a concrete wall that could not even be seen among so many leaves and trunks. lights hung from the tops and branches, and there was even a small bench on one side. haru presumed that this place was specially designed for smokers, but at that moment it was empty.

"how did you find this place?" kwon inquired, her eyes on the small lamps above her.

"when i went to the bathroom i got the wrong direction and ended up here." she laughed shyly.

"it's pretty." she lowered her eyes, turning back to jimin.

"like you." she returned witty.

"and you." she added roguishly. "and you brought me here to...?" she raised an eyebrow mischievously.

"kwon haru," she put her hands behind her back, feet together and puffed out her chest, pretending to look like a prince about to make an announcement. "would you do me the honor..."

she paused to search her pockets for something, observe her fingers, and then surveyed her surroundings. she dropped her gaze to the ground, turning only with her upper body so that she could analyze behind her back. she leaned over and held a cigarette butt between her fingers, then extended it toward haru.

"is it antiromantic if i ask you to be my girlfriend with a cigarette butt?" she pouted. "i don't have a ring to give you."

"wait." haru was now the one digging through every crevice of her clothes looking for something that would work. she picked up her wallet and checked it. "is it any use proposing to me with a bill?"

"that's even less romantic than the cigarette." she dropped her arms on either side of her body listlessly.

"a picture of my mom?"

"haru."

"my id?" she continued without stopping checking.

"put that down, put that down." she approached her and pushed down the girl's hands holding her billfold.

"i didn't find anything either, sorry." she put the object away and made a regretful grimace.

"would you like to be my girlfriend?" she said again, unexpectedly.

"don't you need a ring, then?" the woman caught her face between her palms, creating an eye contact that exuded sweetness.

"i'll buy you one for our first anniversary." she promised, her voice soft, only dedicated to her. "and on the next one, and the one after that, and when i ask you to marry me." she held haru's waist. "although i'm so sure you're the love of my life that i might ask you to marry me before any anniversary."

"one step at a time, princess, we're here now." stopped the older one, laughing adoringly at such ideas.

"be my girlfriend." she asked again. "i love you, i don't want to not have you by my side, and i swear i will never ever again do anything to take you away from me. my place is with you."

"of course i will be your girlfriend." haru accepted.

upon hearing the answer, karina bounced on her feet on the spot because of the exhilaration that exploded inside her. she fleetingly pulled the girl from the back of her neck so they could join in a kiss to seal the pact.

it was the first kiss they had shared in two years that carried no pain behind it. all it brought was new beginnings and love. it was safety, and light. the promise that from now on, they both had a place to return to and a refuge for when everything got rough.

jimin's lips caressed haru's with affability, taking the exchange calmly, wanting to express all the stunning chaos she unleashed within herself through that gesture. the opposite held her figure gently, holding her as close to herself as possible as if trying to keep her from leaving again.

they broke the union carefully, still remaining over each other, their noses touching, their lips no more than an inch apart, "haru, let's move to busan." she suggested suddenly.

"what?" she frowned in surprise after hearing what the younger girl had just said.

"or come back to seoul." she added without thinking about what she was saying. she didn't have to as it had been on her mind for days.

"what are you talking about?" she let the girl go and walked a bit away.

"or i can move to incheon." she continued.

"wow, stop right there." she pointed her finger at her signaling to calm down. "what?" she reiterated.

"is that," she gulped in a breath of air, her grimace turning desperate. "you don't live here." she burst the bubble. "and i know we've been avoiding the subject voluntarily, but in two days you go back home, and then we'll be apart again." she began biting her nails.

haru was silent. she knew that what karina was telling her was the inevitable reality, and that they would soon have to part ways one more time, but she had chosen not to worry about it and somehow managed to forget.

"haru, i love you." she affirmed again. "and i'm tired of losing you, so if you tell me that in incheon you're happy, i wouldn't hesitate for a second to move there so i could be with you." she was sure of what she was saying. "but tell me the truth, is incheon for you? do you live the life you want there?"

the golfer knew she didn't. she had two friends in that city, one of whom was juyeon. she played on a team with people she didn't care about. she didn't feel full on her drive in the mornings to go to her training, she didn't even go for a walk in the streets like she often used to do in seoul.

what was there in Incheon for her? what was there in incheon that was hers?

she left seoul because it generated sadness in her, but if she had to be honest, thinking about incheon also made her feel miserable.

"busan?" she blurted out hesitantly after a moment in silence.

"weren't we happy when we were in busan?"

yes. the answer was clearly yes. depending on how you wanted to look at it, it was the place where it all started. where they admitted they felt things for each other and gave those emotions a place to be explored. despite being surrounded by people, it had felt like only they had been there. together. their own universe.

"just you and me?" she hesitated.

"well, we can take juyeon if you want, but she won't live with us." she said jokingly. "oh, and a cat." she finished seriously.

"you, me and a cat?" a smile began to tug at the corner of her mouth.

"what do you say?" she inquired hopefully, unable to hide that she was already excited.

"busan." she shook her head up and down, saying yes. "you and me."

karina let out the highest pitched squeal she had ever projected in her life, she ran towards haru almost as if flying, not even noticing how she came to be held to her girlfriend like a koala bear, her legs clinging to her waist, haru holding her tightly, contentment present in every part of their beings.

"and a cat." she stated again.

"yes, my princess, us and a cat." she guaranteed.

"and we will never separate again." jimin pulled away a little so she could look into her eyes.

"never." haru backed up her words, then moved closer and joined in a kiss.

— the end.

Hi Chris! I followed you a few years back because you posted a lot of Jazz and Hip Hop but I know you're into other genres as well. I've been trying to branch out a bit and you seem like a good person to ask for recommendations, so I was wondering if maybe you could post some of your favorite band/artists currently or anything you'd recommend? Any genre is fine! Love your blog btw, glad to see you're still on here :) Cheers!

thanks for the kind words anon, always nice to feel like the time i've spent on here wasn't a complete waste. sorry it took a few days to respond to this, but i wanted to give a more in depth answer. i can throw out some recommendations for sure, i basically just went through my last.fm from the last year and added all the non hip hop / jazz stuff to a list. you didn't mention if you were into metal or hardcore at all and there's quite a bit of that on here, but if you're not interested in that let me know and i can suggest some other stuff. i'm not a genre expert or anything but i did my best to give a brief description, so maybe if you end up liking one of these artists it'd be easier to find something similar. also a good chance you might be familiar with some of the ones that are more hip hop adjacent. you can also click the name of the artist and it'll take you to an album i recommend on bandcamp or spotify. i'd also be down to do another one of these later if you want, you can even hit me up off anon if you want. i appreciate you and i hope you're doing well! peace.

tried to make this as neat as i could so i put it in alphabetical order and made it a read more. 1. 10th Letter (Electronic/Jazz/Hip hop - Underappreciated producer, if you’re a fan of Flying Lotus you’d probably like this) 2. Alvvays (Indie Pop / Dream Pop) 3. At the Drive-In (Post-Hardcore, Relationship of Command is my favorite album in the genre) 4. Autonoesis (Thrash Metal / Black Metal) 5. Birds in Row (Post-Hardcore / Screamo) 6. Blood Command (Poppy Post-Hardcore/Alt Rock. Not a huge fan of their new vocalist, but the previous album and EP with Karina are both fantastic) 7. Boris (Drone, Stoner Rock, Noise Rock, Sludge, Post-Rock, Crust Punk – depends heavily on the album. ) 8. Bruno Pernadas (Progressive Jazz Fusion Art Pop) 9. Brutus (Post-Hardcore / Post-Metal, Stefanie is one of my favorite vocalists right now) 10. The Callous Daoboys (Mathcore) 11. Chelsea Wolfe (Darkwave / Gothic Rock / Doom Metal / Dark Folk) 12. Cibo Matto - (Art Pop / Trip Hop) 13. Cleric (Avant-Garde Metal / Mathcore / Brutal Prog) 14. Cloud Rat (Grindcore / Punk) 15. Converge (Metallic Hardcore, another all time favorite band.) 16. Cult of Luna (Atmospheric Sludge Metal / Post-Metal) 17. The Dillinger Escape Plan (Mathcore, top 5 band of all time for me) 18. Dragged Into Sunlight (Blackened Death / Doom Metal) 19. Dreamwell (Screamo/Post-Hardcore) 20. Every Time I Die (Southern-fried Metalcore / Mathcore, an all time favorite of mine) 21. Fievel is Glauque (Jazz Pop / Progressive Pop) 22. Genesis Owusu (Hip Hop/Neo-Soul/Funk/Post-Punk - all over the place in a good way) 23. Gospel (Blend of 70s Prog Rock with Screamo/Post-hardcore, with their 2022 album being a lot more of the former but still very good.) 24. Greyhaven (Metalcore / Post Hardcore - one of the few bands i know of carrying the torch for that Southern-tinged Metalcore sound since Every Time I Die split) 25. Grouper (Ambient/drone, folk and dream pop influences)

26. Hiatus Kaiyote (Psychedelic Neo-soul / Nu-Jazz) 27.  Ichiko Aoba (Minimalistic Ambient Folk) 28. Imperial Triumphant (Avant-Garde Black Metal fused with Jazz) 29. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (Foundation of their sound is pretty much Psychedelic Rock but they pull from all over the musical spectrum. Last album even had a couple tracks with rapping, hard band to classify. It’d be easier to list the rock subgenres they haven’t dabbled in) 30. Knoll (Grindcore / Death Grind) 31. Krallice (Avant-Garde Black Metal) 32. Liv.e (Neo-Soul / Alternative R&B) 33. Massa Nera (Post-Hardcore / Screamo / Post-Rock) 34. Maudlin of the Well (Avant-Garde Progressive Metal - Also check Kayo Dot) 35. Messa (Doom Metal) 36. Misþyrming (Black Metal) 37. Ne Obliviscaris (Progressive Black Metal with violin except it’s actually tasteful and doesn’t feel gimmicky) 38. Neptunian Maximalism (Avant-Garde Jazz/Drone/Noise/Industrial.. like Swans meets Sun Ra meets John Zorn’s Electric Masada. These guys also have some of the best album artwork out there.) 39. The Ocean (Progressive Metal / Sludge - mainly on the earlier albums) 40. Oranssi Pazuzu (Avante Garde Psychedelic Black Metal) 41. Os Mutantes (Brazilian Psych Rock) 42. Otoboke Beaver (Noisy, High energy Hardcore / Garage Punk from Japan, very fun band) 43. Panopticon (Atmospheric Black Metal with some Bluegrass and Folk influences) 44. Protomartyr (I think I like these guys the most out of all the newer Post-Punk bands) 45. Rolo Tomassi (Mathcore, Post-Metal, Post-Hardcore) 46. Senza (Blackened Screamo/Mathcore. Chaotic in a way that reminds me of Jerome’s Dream a bit.) 47. Sigh (Black Metal, Avant-Garde Metal, Progressive Metal) 48. Soul Glo (Noisy Hardcore Punk, 2022 album incorporated some more hip hop elements and even had rap features. Shout out to McKinley Dixon who used to be on tumblr waaay back about a decade ago.) 49.  Spiritbox (Alt Metal / Djent / Metalcore) 50. Stereolab  (Space Age Pop mixed with Lounge Music and Krautrock) 51. Sudan Archives (Alternative R&B, Art Pop / Neo-Soul) 52. Tim Hecker (Ambient / Drone) 53. toe (Japanese Math Rock / Post-Rock - Kashikura Takashi is one of the greatest drummers ever.) 54. Tómarúm (Progressive Technical Melodic Black Metal) 55. Tricot (J-Rock / Math Rock / Pop) 56. Tropical Fuck Storm (Punk-Blues, Noise Rock) 57. U.S. Girls (Psychedelic Pop / Art Pop) 58. Ulcerate (Technical Death Metal) 59. Ultha (Atmospheric Black Metal) 60. Vanishing Twin ( Neo-Psychedelic Art Pop, check if you like Stereolab or Broadcast) 61. Wake (Black Metal / Tech Death / Sludge - Grindcore on the early releases) 62. Weyes Blood (Baroque Pop / Art Pop) 63. White Ward (Black Metal / Blackgaze /Dark Jazz) 64. Wormrot (Grindcore) 65. Yves Tumor (Unique sound blending Neo-Psych / Soul / Glam Rock /  Hypnagogic Pop + some Sound Collage / Ambient stuff as well on earlier albums)

# Cher Reviews Manhwa

I’ve been reading an insane amount of manhwa recently so decided to compile a list of what I’ve read so far so that I can peer pressure encourage my friends to read some of these with me.

Grouping everything by ranking (and just plain alphabetical order in each rank) These are all my own opinion please feel free to like/dislike what you like/dislike. I also have a separate list for the meh to the DNF-ed since this is purely the good stuff.

Here’s a list of some terms I use in these Please mute “manhwa live reactions” if you don’t want spoilers to the ongoing ones since I occasionally have to scream

The ones in italics are completed series. Yes, most of them are ongoing ;w;

Masterlist

When he met them, it wasn't Zeke's first visit to the proclaimed infamous island of devils, but it certainly was the most remarkable.

The first time he'd been to Paradise Island was, as expected of the Wonder Boy Marley had claimed their own, part of a mission he'd been given. He was told to go inspect the environment and the way they lived, to try his best and figure out the best course of action so he could carry out the titan experiments the military asks of him without drawing the Eldians' attention to the issue at hand.

He'd given it thought for a bit, before coming to the conclusion that the safest option would be to scout the outermost villages; the ones least likely to cause a commotion should a problem arise, and that was why he currently found himself trekking the dirt road that cut through the lands between the walls the island dwellers called Rose and Maria (he wondered what their namesake was; he'd make sure to ask sometime later on).

Once he'd hopped off the trusty horse he'd been riding day in day out since the ship had landed on the shore, he found himself standing in front of a wooden archway that seemed to announce his entrance into the boundaries of a rather neat village. Run-down as it looked in comparison to the bustling Marleyan cities bursting at the seams with the population and progressing technology, the village looked like it was flourishing just fine with the isolation.

"Wish I had some sort of translation book on me," he murmured to himself, pushing his spectacles up on his nose as he squinted, trying his best to read the lines he vaguely discerned as letters that resembled that of the Marleyan alphabet.

It took him a couple of seconds, but he was finally able to pronounce the name,"Ragako Village," with a hum, before tying his horse to the nearest post in an attempt to be as inauspicious as possible---something helped by the fact that he'd been dressed in simpler and far more muted attire than the usual military get-up.

Taking his time to eye the orderly stables as the caretakers shushed neighing horses, watching as little kids that barely reached his knees fought over who was to take the biggest loaf of bread, and almost tripping over a man who seemed perfectly content with sitting down in the middle of the road to tug at the weeds as he hummed a soothing tune, nothing about this village seemed out of the ordinary or even made it stand out at all to Zeke. In fact, if he hadn't stumbled across the ruins, he would've probably initiated his plans without so much a second glance. And yet here he was, head cocked to the side as he looked at the remains of what resembled a chapel with interest.

Hand on his chin, he stepped closer, softly saying to himself, "Odd, I thought the religious sects were behind wall Sina..."

Before he could step inside the half-destroyed chapel with curious eyes, he was stopped by a sharp voice.

"Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Please refrain from breaking the law when you're clearly not from Ragako."

As they sighed, he turned to see a person clad in proper attire that didn't seem to fit the atmosphere of the village in the least. Without sparing Zeke a glance, they crossed the threshold and began to make their way inside, earning an arched brow from the blonde.

"You're one to talk. You stick out like a sore thumb, and that's delicately put," with a pointed look, he watched as they scoffed, before tugging a small piece of paper from the bag they carried over their shoulder.

"As a matter of fact, I do have permission," they said, eyes not unkind but seemingly rather empty, "I am a journalist, after all."

A look of surprise on his face, he tried to look for anyone in the vicinty, "Where's your cameraman then?"

Frowning, they sounded confused, "Excuse me?"

Quickly catching onto the fact that this was probably one of the things the island was ignorant to the existence of, he shook his head, "Nothing, nothing," with what looked a bit like a longing look, he gave the ruins another once over, "I'll be off then."

Before he could lament his inability to inspect the glass windows up close, the journalist in front of him stepped forward, hesitating a moment and then speaking up, "If you would like that, I could have my piece directly sent to your place as soon as it's published."

Smiling, he only waved them off, "I'll see your editor once he has it done. I really can't wait that long."

"Traveling?" they asked politely, eyeing his odd lack of carry-ons, and he nodded in reply, to which they simply pulled what looked like a business card out of their pocket and handing it over to him, "You'll find the details of my editor and publisher over here. It should be ready in two days."

Another mildly shocked expression crossed Zeke's face, "Impressive. Thank you, anyways," and before they could give him a reply, he was already stuffing the card in his coat pockets, turning away to make his way back to where his horse was waiting obediently, cooing as he brushed her glossy mane, "I suppose we'll have to make it to wall Sina in just under two days, won't we, Betty?"

***

"Well, this certainly wasn't what I expected," Zeke chuckled two days later, a certain lilt in his voice as he admired the tattered badges and sashes in the glass cabinets littering the four walls of the room, "I had something else in mind when you mentioned that the editorial room was designed to your taste."

"My taste is to pride my family name without being targetted," they shrugged, picking up the steaming teacup from the table as their guest stepped closer to the glass, pushing his spectacles upwards to have a clearer view in order to try and make a head or tail out of the prized posessions.

"Pardon my asking, but what are these?" he asked, curiously eyeing every artifact, "They look rather old."

"They're from the first Ackermans that served under the king directly," pausing as they sipped at their tea, a smirk formed on their lips, "If anything, they're the reason why I've lived for so long."

Arching his eyebrow at her comment, he wanted to inquire further in that direction, but chose a tamer question, "How are you related to them?"

"My father was an Ackerman," setting the teacup down, they stood up to join the blonde man, "Haven't the slightest idea where he is now, though, and there's no point in trying to fish him out," with a shake of their head, they sighed, "The name's been sullied one too many times, and now most Ackermans with any common sense are in hiding."

This only served to pique Zeke's curiosity; he'd be a liar if he claimed that he didn't want to know just how much the journalist knew about the King and what he'd done; of their true heritage; if the Ackermans played any role in this play the King had constructed a hundred years ago. But, knowing all too well the risks, he once again remained quiet about his thoughts.

"Why aren't you in hiding?"

"No point in it, I will be hunted down either ways," they chuckled lightly, and it sounded oddly pleasant to Zeke, who'd grown so accustomed to barked orders and stiff talk that hearing something so lighthearted in comparison caught him off guard, "Being a journalist means that I'm not exactly loved, because I don't always serve what the public wants to hear."

"Controversial, I see," he couldn't control the grin making its way on his face and the way he was making it so blatantly obvious that he was hanging on to their every word.

"That's one way to put it, yes," guiding him across the room, he looked on in awe at the multiple trophies in the cabinets, before his attention went back to their words when they spoke again, "It really does seem like being hated on is an Ackerman thing, though."

Surprised, Zeke snapped his head back to look at them, "You mean you have siblings?"

Shaking their head, they slumped back into the large chair at one end of the small table, an open invitation for Zeke to sit once more, "No, none, but I do have a cousin. His mother was my father's sister."

"Does he work as some sort of public figure then?"

Pausing, they laughed, and Zeke could feel the flush forming on his cheeks at the delicate sound, "He shouldn't be, considering his position and abrasiveness, but he is. He's the captain of the scouting legion in the military."

"Must have a lot of fans, then, if he's anywhere near as magnetic as you are," the wonder boy rested his chin on his palm, probably not having realized just how flirtatious his words came off as being.

But really, considering the laidback expression on their expression, it seemed that neither of them minded the saccharine words.

Finger tracing the rim of the cup, they nodded towards the paper in front of Zeke, their lazy smirk not letting up as they pushed the article with the words 'chapel' and 'Ragako' in the title towards him, "Tell me if it meets your expectations of me over chamomile tea next time."

***

Half a week had passed before Zeke had the opportunity to speak to them again, considering the fact that he had to carry out some orders that had been given to him from the homeland. Loitering around was good fun and all, but he couldn't forget the real reason he was on this island he pitied so much in the first place.

This time, when he knocked on the door to the editorial room, he was tugged away to their own quaint little house, with the excuse that 'they were out of tea here', which seemed viable enough of an excuse to him---but he had to admit, he was rather flustered by the fact that they seemed to want him around just as much as he wanted to get to know them on a more personal level.

Pouring the warm tea with the soothing scent wafting from the cups, they watched as Zeke absentmindedly stroked his beard on the couch, a calculating look in his eyes as he tried to decipher the meaning behind this invitation, not wanting to get ahead of himself and misreading their intentions.

"Is this about the paper?" he asked, before arching his eyebrow, "If it is, I hope you know you most certainly surpassed any expectations I had for you. It was riveting to read."

With a mysterious smile, they took a seat beside him on the couch, leaving only a few inches of space between them, leaning against the armrest as they met his piercing grey gaze with an equally trained look, hovering between being enticing and looking pleased, "As flattered as I am to hear that, what if I wasn't going to ask about that?"

For some reason, their soft voice was as calming as the tea he'd just sipped on, bringing about a very similar warmth too. Hoping he wasn't wrong in assuming that their intentions truly were what he had believed they were to be, he leaned in closer, cheek pressed into his palm as he decided to play along.

"Really?" with a chuckle, he gave an inviting smile, "Then what would you want of a mere traveler?"

They were so much closer now, their features much more defined and their perfume all the more captivating when they were in such close proximity to him, and Zeke couldn't bring himself to look away when their plump lips spoke again, "Whatever you have to offer."

Pressing his thighs to theirs as they were now sidled against each other on the couch, he could count every blemish on their face if he want to---only he couldn't break their eye contact; not even if he wanted to.

"I'll be gone in a few days though," he was much quieter now, words heavy in the air, "And you don't even know anything about me," their index finger delicately drew shapes on the muscle of his thigh, and he had to hold back the shiver he wanted to let loose at the contact.

"I'll just have to wait for your return then," they grinned, something akin to mischief painting their face, "And I'll learn whatever you want me to know."

He could only hum in agreement, as though signing an unspoken contract, before he closed the gap between their lips.

Sweet, was all he could think they tasted.

***

True to his word, he disappeared on them little more than a week after they started their daily escapades. He didn't know what had him so reluctant to leave---the fact that he might never come back? The feel of their skin against his, warm and throbbing with every time they entwined? Or the way that he---for once in his literally damned life---truly felt alive with someone who wanted to hear more about him? For whatever reason it was, Zeke found himself wanting to go back as soon as he'd left.

The opportunity presented itself to him when---a few years after having watched their tiny world get reduced to little more than ashes as according to the plan Captain Magath had set for the four youngest Marleyan warriors---he was sent back to the very same village he'd first stumbled upon them and the first place they'd bewitched him. If he hadn't known better, he would've believed that they truly were a devil in that aspect.

Still, Zeke knew he couldn't defy the orders given to him just to frolick. Pieck had long noticed his distraction, as he silently prayed to whatever deity that they wouldn't be on some sort of excursion within the vicinity, because that would only spell trouble for him.

"War chief Zeke, it's time," her hoarse voice was almost unrecognizable, and she could only snap him out of his daze when he'd double-checked that their horse was nowhere in sight, "We have to start the operation before they catch onto us."

Nodding his head, he indicated the spots where the Marleyan soldiers were to place their gas cannisters, "Think we have enough of my spinal fluid in this? It's pointless if it isn't concentrated enough. My powers can only do so much."

A hollow sound that resembled a laugh came from her titan form, "No need to be humble, you are our wonder boy, after all."

Thanking her politely, he waited until all the gadgets were set up in the exact same locations he'd marked and every single cannister was spraying the volatile gas into a thick wall of smoke that drifted to spread over the vilage.

Glancing towards Pieck, who did her best to nod in that form, he broke into a sprint, roaring into the fields and pathways filled with paralyzed bodies. In an almost apocalyptic scene, the blinding yellow light served as nothing but a mere warning, before the still bodies turned into hulking titans that towered over Zeke, who must've looked ridiculous amongst their huge forms that cast shadows over the remains of the entire village.

Before he could hop onto the horse, he gave Ragako one final sympathetic look, "They were doomed from the start," with a tired sigh, he turned to the cart titan, "Let's go, Pieck. We've done our part."

Having to wait for the ship to come pick them up meant that the two warriors had a few days to spend doing whatever pleased them. Pieck told him she'll be looking for good books to buy with the allowance she'd been given, and he'd bid her off with the promise of meeting at the dock by the end of the week. Though she seemed curious enough, she didn't ask him the questions he knew she wanted to ask, and he was rather thankful for that because he doubted he would've been able to give her a truthful answer.

Without any further questioning, he found himself knocking on the door of the place he hadn't seen in so many years. Part of him dreaded what he'd see on the other side, wondering if the new garden in the front was the idea of someone else he'd yet to be acquainted with; someone who'd taken his place when he'd only served as a whirlwind affair.

But none of that happened. The door had swung open, and all he'd seen was a slightly more barren house that belonged to a slightly more worn-down person. Zeke found himself at a loss, not knowing if he belonged there anymore when everything was---at the end of the day---technically all his fault. He was a criminal, and to this day they hadn't the slightest idea just how much he'd sinned; just how much he'd wrecked the place they'd called home and yet still invited himself over.

His train of thought was interrupted by that somewhat cynical smile that had sent his feelings into disarray dozens of times before, "You took your sweet time coming back," and with that, they pulled him inside once more.

With a glance around, he noticed the piles of papers scattered around the room, "You've been busy, I see."

Sighing in exhaustion, they pushed aside some of the half-scribbled documents, "Sometimes, Levi asks for favors from the press in favor of the scouts. It's not easy for them now."

He joined them on the couch he remembered vaguely to have spent their first night on, "It'll be even harder after today."

Confusion laced their voice, "How do you know that?"

Leaning in, he knew that if there was any hope in pursuing something with them, then he had a lot to explain.

"Do you still want to learn more about who I am?"

***

This time, he didn't know whether to feel pride at the angry red scratches at his back or to feel ashamed by them---and it had nothing to do with the fact that he was lost in the arms of an Eldian (after all, he wouldn't be lying if he said he'd never given a damn about that, only wishing to provide solutions without resorting to blind hatred). With his cigar dangling lazily between his teeth, he didn't know what to think.

Guaranteed, he thought as he puffed smoke from his lips, their reaction wasn't anything unexpected. As he'd predicted, they knew a fair share of information, their father---a Kenny Ackerman whose whereabouts were still unknown---having left behind a jumble of letters explaining what his own ancestors had told him, though it really wasn't much in the first place. The bastard child had grown up on their own, with only that information, telling them of their inheritance and what little of the world history was known to their clan. It was only normal that they'd grow horrified at Zeke's confession, and it was only normal that they'd barked their disgust at him in a fit of rage.

Though he had to admit, the part where they'd sniffled and pulled him closer wasn't something he'd predicted. He hadn't foreseen that they'd fall into bed in a flurry of tangled limbs and torn off clothes, and he certainly hadn't expected the way they'd egged him on to distract them from the fact that they were forbidden with the body and lips and presence they'd somehow missed so dearly.

A lonely child, and an even lonlier adult, he'd never thought he'd one day have someone's arms wrapped around him as they napped peacefully. In all honesty, as he put out the cigar that had been burnt to a stub, he doubted he deserved it. After all, the island's blood had seeped into his fingertips, and it could only get worse from here on out.

Maybe it was his smoking that had roused them from their sleep, or maybe they'd already rested well, but for whatever reason he found them sitting upright, curling into his much warmer chest.

"If doomsday were to come, would you come with me?"

They blinked twice, before naked hips came into contact with his as they lay ontop of him, "Where will we go?"

Fingers running delicately through their hair, he spoke matter-of-factly, "To Marley, my hometown."

"Like that's any safer," they rolled their eyes, looking away from his earnest gaze.

"It isn't destined to be destroyed, not yet."

They scoffed, "So you want me to leave the place I've lived in my entire life? To leave my cousin behind for dead?"

"Because this island will be flattened and I don't want you to die?" he arched his eyebrow, taking his glasses from the bedside table to see their softened expression properly, "Then yes, that's exactly what I want. I'm a very selfish man, after all."

"Zeke, it's not---"

"I know," he interrupted, "It's not easy, and it's not ideal, but I don't want to lose the one person who makes me feel something," he huffed, carding his fingers through his blonde hair impatiently for the first time in quite a long while feeling like a restless teenager, "It's up to Levi to save his own skin."

Rubbing at their eyes tiredly, they remained quiet for a while before speaking into his chest, "He'll bring you hell."

Squeezing them tighter, he could only reply, "I'll welcome it gladly."

***

Like a prophecy coming true, months later, Levi's sword had successfully ripped off half his face, plunged deep into his skin as he tried to scream in agony. He'd gravely underestimated his skill, though he should've listened to his lover's claims of his strength.

"You," the ebony-haired man spat out, venom lacing his words as he dug his blade deeper, knocking into his skull, pain searing through his body as he twisted it into Zeke's face, "You're the scum I'd seen with my cousin in town."

Barely able to choke the words out, Zeke could only say, "Bit rich of you to call me scum, don't you think?"

"I'll call you whatever the fuck I want," he hissed at him, raw unadulterated fury directed towards the bespectacled titan shifter underneath him, the look telling him just how much he wished to rip him from limb to limb, "You don't get a say in this when you've laid your filthy fingers on my family."

It took Zeke all he had in him not to chuckle at the sheer rage being emitted from him. The hostility only made him more amused, and he clearly wasn't all too good at hiding how he was feeling, because Levi seemed to determine that he needed to plunge his blades deeper with a sickening squelch.

The words on his tongue turned into pained howls as Levi gritted his teeth, "You deserve to die twice now, you piece of shit."

"Won't," he garbled out, teeth knocking into the metal blade.

Narrowing his steely eyes, the shorter man was about to deliver the dealing blow, knuckles white as he gripped the handles of his blades tighter, but Pieck's movements were far more trained and honed to let that happen, and within less than a second, she'd snatched Zeke's mangled form into her mouth, with Levi narrowly missing her teeth as he swiftly jumped away.

His escape route now available, he could barely register anything around him as his body struggled to heal itself as rapidly as he possibly could, but all he could manage to say to the cart titan was one thing, "As we planned."

She didn't have to voice her confirmation, taking advantage of her larger form to bound across the land to where Zeke had told her the person she was ordered to pick up was staying. Amongst the rubble and remains of houses they stood, clad in all white, a sign of the rebirth Zeke had promised them; sticking to their word and to their plan, no matter how much of a traitor it painted them as, and no matter how much of their heart they left behind on the island of devils.

Their alarmed face was rather humorous at first as Pieck landed with a slam of her large body right in front of them, barely missing them, but they quickly calmed down as they saw the steam rising from between her teeth.

"He's... healing?" with hesitation they asked, and Pieck could only nod.

They carefully wrapped their arms around his torso as she loosened her teeth's grip on him, allowing them to tug at Zeke's barely conscious form and pulling him up on her back, where they tried their best to untangle the mess of leather straps and metal so they could create a makeshift saddle they could strap him down on.

Though Zeke knew it was a rather disturbing sight for them to see for the first time, limbless and tattered almost beyond repair, he marveled at how they kept their disgust to a minimum despite normally being iffy about anything that involved getting their hands dirty. With as little pain being inflicted on him during the process, they were soon tapping his newly-reformed thigh, hissing a little at the heat as they sidled in front of him.

Sitting still for a few minutes, he could feel the resounding pain growing into more of an itch with numbness, his spinning head growing steadier. Twitching in place, he nudged them with his knee, trying to alert them to his consciousness.

"A little better now?" their voice sounded a little rougher than he was accustomed to, and it hit Zeke just how huge the magnitude of what was about to happen would be, and how a small part of them must've been beyond terrified but refused to reveal itself to him.

Still feeling a bit sore, he nodded, rasping out, "We're going to leave for Marley now. No backing out."

"No," they agreed, a heavy sigh escaping them as they leaned down to grab at Pieck's neck for safety, and the blonde man could here the resolute determination in their voice as they repeated after him, as though sealing their fate with unbreakable wax, "There isn't."

hey!! i loved the alphabet love with karina, could you do one with winter too ^^

Absolutely anon! Feel free to request again!

✦•····················•✦•····················•✦•····················•✦

Alphabet love- Winter

✦•····················•✦•····················•✦•····················•✦

Attention

Winter values your sense of care for her so much. She doesn't believe any relationship could ever last without such the lovey-dovey acts you two commit together and she knows she'll never grow out of it either.

Beauty

Your beauty isn't labelled, and you both prefer it that way. Your relationship isn't about how you perceive yourself for others, you'd much rather just be your true selves with each other, and that's what true beauty is.

Comfort

Winter finds comfort in anything and everything you do together. Holding hands, stealing silent glances at each other from across the room, facetiming while she's on tour. No matter the act, she's comforted as long as she knows you're there- physically or not.

Dreams

Winter was shocked to find out she dreamt of you the first time it happened. She remembers so clearly what it was about too, and how she woke up in a silent fit of lush as butterflies tickled her stomach. It was too wholesome, too sweet, she dreams of taking you on a date just like that one day.

Equally

Winter loves the balanced feel to the relationship. Sometimes she'd take the lead on certain things you're not confident about- other times the tables are reversed, but no matter what there will always be a sensible sense of equality.

First encounter

Winter had first met you at her friend's birthday party. She was desperately asking around to find the bathroom when she accidentally walked into your bedroom. Turns out her mind went clean and her bladder suddenly stopped bursting as soon as you looked up from your phone with a shy smile, causing the latter to blush.

Gratitude

Winter knows how awesome you are and has often dropped down upon her knees to thank the universe for giving her such the opportunity to meet you. You'd sit there, watching in amusement as she'd do it for the nth time that week. Although she has teared up once or twice during her ritualistic prayer, causing you to care and aid her back to her calmer senses. This makes her gratitude tenfold.

Hugs

Any hug is her favourite hug. She'd come at you from any angle, any time, and when she does this there's either no telling she's about to do so or there's absolute certainty through her loud yelling and calls for your name.

Interests

Obviously no one is the same, or built to match their partner and Winter very much understands that. But maybe she could teach you how to cook if you don't already know- or maybe she could just sit you down to watch her favourite movies/ anime. She'd appreciate it if you'd do the same too, how could you not?

Jealousy

Winter can get jealous, it's a trait everyone has no matter how shallow or strong it may appear… hers is just less controlled per say. Winter would cling to your arm, slowly dragging you away from the conversation you once held with a flirtatious woman and embrace you like she was your shield. She'd glare at them over your shoulder, whether they notice or not is a different story.

Knowledge

Despite having a lot of knowledge on subjects like maths, she has barely any connections to a life of dating. If you have some knowledge, please do share. If not that's fine too, just means you get to experience this together for what could be the very first time for you both.

Love confession

Winter had been showing up at your house more frequently after the party. She went from not wanting to invade her friends privacy to basically walking all over it just to catch a glimpse at you. But there was this one day where she knocked on your bedroom door, bashful smile and a sweet bouquet clamped desperately between her sweaty palms. When you opened the door, her word had basically shut down as all she could see was your half smiling, half confused face. Once she stuttered out the confession between words of uncertainty and goofiness- and you actually shared your feelings too- all she could do was hold you for the rest of the night.

Memories

Winter loves to make memories, silly, sad, happy, bad. All kinds of memories are valuable- even the bad as they show progression and development. She'd have to write them down though since she believes her photography skills are lacking in the selphy department.

Naps

Winter prefers naps where you're both cuddled together, her head under your chin or your head under hers (depending on the mood) as you just sleep together under a cosy blanket.

Opportunities

Winter has a job, and so do you. Finding time to take opportunities are risky but you always find a way together.

PDA

Winter doesn't like the attention PDA draws in when in certain public areas. If an area is too crowded then she'd cling to you for dear life, but other than that she sees no reason to do much else. Maybe a small hand holding here and there, but she'd much rather just smother you in gentle love in the comfort of your own house.

Quality

Winter oftenly tells others that there's nothing better than your relationship and that no one could ever make her feel so in love that the nagging thought of marriage is always just sitting in her mind.

Romance

Winter would try to be romantic. She'd flip through her memories of things you like- setting up dinner, a movie, a nice bath. Whatever you like you shall receive with the cost of just your love.

Support

Winter feels damn special when you give her the good old thumbs up and adorning smile whenever you'd come to her work. Seeing you in the crowd of a concert always makes her seem far more energetic for the night. Seeing you during practice always seems to give her a kick of confidence. Whenever you'd appear, everyone in the room just knew the atmosphere was about to become ten times lighter with the joyous energy created within the confines of the walls, roof and floor. She loves you, and she could never thank you more than doing just that in return.

Thrill

Winter tries to be thrilling, but everytime Karina pulls a sneaky prank on her, all just flops. She'd try relentlessly to get her revenge, but she'd always end up failing. The most thrilling part is actually just planning the prank, both of you know it's hopeless to actually go through with it, but it's something you can laugh about.

Understand

Winter dedicates a lot of her time to just understanding you as a person. She'd want to understand your likes and dislikes, your favourite activities and least. Winter wants to hog all the information about you for future events like dates or vacations.

Vows

Winter vows to acknowledge your flaws like they're perfections, to promise you all the promises, to share a mutual bond of never ending love. Winter wants the best for you both, so there's no doubt she'll go all out for you.

Work

She wouldn't bring you to work out of respect for your job and your dedication to it. However, if you ever call in sick or take a vacation day to just spend the day with her at work she'd basically be seeing hearts fluttering around you all day. Her eyes would sparkle in a familiar way and she'd be non stop smiling the whole time.

XOXO

This represents the roots of your relationship, showing what it used to be and what it is now. XOXO used to be a silly little thing she'd put at the end of a text, or a card for you, but now that she actually gets to kiss and hug you makes all the difference for obvious positive reasons.

Youth

Your relationship is relatively young, having seemed from a silly crush to the blossomed relationship it can reach. There's no denying that there's always room for improvement and evolution, Winter is just glad you can walk through it together.

Zany

Winter likes to give the occasional heart-fluttering smile for the cameras and the unmissable cuteness overload, but she definitely knows when to stop and just take a small break from the aegyo and goofy comments.

Hell Within Reach V. Chrollo x F Reader

Rating: M (for now...) Word count: 4.1k. Misc Info: Your Nen | Survosia

[Hell Within Reach index]

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Synopsis: No longer able to return to your home country, which lays just beyond the borders of the known world, you found yourself stranded in an unknown land. After weeks of aimless wandering, an encounter with the Phantom Troupe’s leader gives you a new set of opportunities.

The Spider had recently lost a member and was in need of a new leg. Takes place four years prior to the main events of Hunter x Hunter.

This must be the dustiest room in the entire building.

That’s to be expected, you suppose, seeing as the church you’re residing in has been abandoned for many years now. You didn’t catch the entire story, but something about an abrupt rise in violent crimes led to residents packing up and abandoning the town. It’s just now that you’re coming to realize the uncharacteristic rashness of your actions. The moment you were informed of Karina’s potential involvement, nothing else in this world mattered but confirming it with your own eyes. This downtime serves as a blessing under the guise of a curse. It’s valuable time to regroup, to gather your bearings, but is that not a problem itself?

When all you can do is wait, that encourages the wheels of your mind to spin. Round and round it goes, ignoring your feeble attempts to break, continuing at full speed until you inevitably crash. This is why it’s so much better to have something to do rather than twiddling your thumbs. There was always the option of conversing with the other members, but you doubt that you’re pleasant company in this surly state.

Which is why you’ve found yourself here.

From what you can gather, this particular room must have once belonged to the kid’s wing of the church. There were alphabetical blocks strewn about on the carpeted floor, joined by toy cars, crayons, and other such items. What manages to catch your eye is a set of beautiful yet standard dolls abandoned alongside the rest of the toys. You hadn’t seen something like this in many years.

Bending over, you pick up the doll, inspecting it closely. It must have been well-loved. The design is simplistic if not cheap, yet your heart twists as if it were a fine piece of art. Little trinkets like this, that most would regard as standard for children to have, you never got to experience. Your mother had tried when she was alive to her credit, only for her attempts to be snuffed out. What purpose is there in a piece of plastic, when you could instead learn the proper way to hold a weapon? Why learn to braid a doll's hair when your fingers would be better spent learning the body’s various pulse points, to ensure you’d struck your opponent dead?

That’s what your father had reasoned. Any dolls your mother snuck into your room were destroyed promptly. There wasn’t room for excess, there wasn’t room for anything that couldn’t contribute to your abilities. You wonder if the expression your mom cast upon you was one of pity or guilt. To give yourself some peace of mind, you place the discarded doll back in its proper place.

Someone’s approaching.

Similar to the first few notes of a waltz, Pakunoda’s aura is calm and dignified. You stand from your spot and wipe the dust from your skirt. Depending on how her check of Karina went, it’s very possible that she’ll search your memories for betrayal; not that you have anything to hide. The concept of another combing through your innermost thoughts and feelings is not appealing, even if it is someone you’re partial to.

“How much did you see?” You find your voice before she does.

A deep hum reverberates from her chest. “Enough.”

Her body language does look to be apprehensive over your possible involvement, though she’s masterful at maintaining a composed face. You wish you were better at gauging people’s emotions. Unfortunately, that’s never been your area of expertise, the best you could do is reading your opponent’s actions in a fight.

“Our unexpected visitor was telling the truth,” she informs. It could be a bluff, but if it were, she’d be out to play the long con. There’s no point in doing that when she could just gaze into your memories and be done with it. If Pakunoda was wary of your affiliation, you doubt she’d approach you alone, as your combat prowess would allow you to incapacitate her. With all this in mind, you’ll believe her.

You pause to take in this information and nod your head. All of a sudden, everything feels so real, so tangible. The state of mind you had been in before was like a dead man walking. Little to no rational thought had been put into your words or actions beyond minimizing short-term repercussions. A fact that likely contributed to why the other Troupe members have left you to your own devices for the time being.

Pakunoda remains at the door frame rather than leaving, her visage stoic and unreadable. You feel as if her eyes bypass your front altogether, seeing a deeper part of you and judging the contents. No matter how schooled you think your body language to be, her experience in dealing with people makes it for naught.

“Tell me, [First]... what do you believe should be done?” Pakunoda raises this question, her tone firm.

Regrettably, you don’t have an immediate answer, your tongue feeling like it’s been twisted into knots. She takes the opportunity to press you further.

“I won’t insult you by pretending to understand, but I’ll grant you my honest opinion. In this state, you’ll not only be a danger to yourself but the rest of the Spider as well; and that is something I won’t allow.”

You long to refute her point, yet deep down inside, you know she’s right. Her words aren’t mean-spirited, but she’s instead offering you a lens to look at the situation from a perspective other than your own. If this heist is to be pulled off successfully, you will need to be mentally sound and at your best performance. Anything less would be an insult to yourself and the Troupe. It’s difficult to put into words the gratitude you feel for her honesty, being coddled and smothered in optimistic promises is the last thing you need.

It doesn’t do your emotions justice, but you manage a genuine response. “Thank you.”

A ghost of a smile appears on her roseate lips. This is the Pakunoda you see in your time away from the Troupe, a supportive and level-headed figure who looks out for those she cares for. Her introspective line of questioning hadn’t been what you anticipated, though you greatly prefer it over having your personal memories combed through.

Pakunoda walks by you in comfortable silence, the only sound in the hallways being her heels clicking against the ground. There’s no reason for you to silence your footsteps but it’s something of a habit. You both enter the same sanctuary from before, now bathed in moonlight rather than warm hues. As you suspected, the other members have all arrived, except for a certain finicky magician; not that any of you are surprised by that. Nobunaga is the other member not present, likely guarding Karina in a room elsewhere.

“Well?” Phinks prompts, more so to Pakunoda than to you. It dawns upon you then that Pakunoda sought you out first rather than filling in the other members immediately. The realization stokes affection in your heart that you commit to memory. That was… genuinely thoughtful of her, even if she was also trying to snap you from your reverie.

“She wasn’t lying. Her various plans are rather involved, so I’ll shoot the information into you,” Pakunoda conjures her Nen bullets and pistol. In an instant, she fires multiple rounds, the impact forceful enough to almost push you back. Flurries of memories, thoughts, and emotions from Karina’s eyes flood through your senses like a stuttering film.

Blackmailing Liborio and men similar to him into placing absurd bounties on the Troupe. Gathering intel on the Avalor Estate. Sifting through hundreds of hours’ worth of audio gathered from her ability, named Hide and Seek (Everything Comes to Light).

Karina had considered innumerable methods for the most optimal methods to gain entry to the estate. The various ideas would be contingent on too many outside factors to remain concrete, like how many Manipulators may be in the Troupe and how many people could be under their thrall at once. She had given this a lot of thought and consideration. You’d never taken the opportunity to ask why she’s so hellbent on tearing your father down, that’s another question you’ll need to get around to asking. He’s indeed made no shortage of enemies throughout the years. From what you can tell, her life in the past two years has been solely dedicated to this and nothing else, almost like it was the sole thing keeping her going.

Shalnark is the first to voice his opinion. “Hm… there are still quite a few gaps in her plans from what I can tell.”

“She didn’t know any of our abilities before,” Franklin reasons. “Other than [First]’s, that is.”

Karina was only vaguely aware of your Hatsu, since you rarely felt a need to use it in her presence. The most she had seen in action is Set A, your sword, when you cut down a group of assassins on what was meant to be a nice picnic date in the park. While she did see you hold Set C at the airport runway, she never saw what it could actually do.

“It’s something to go off of,” Phinks shrugs.

Chrollo turns his head to where you and Pakunoda stand. “[First]. How plausible are her ideas?”

“It’s difficult to say,” you reply in truth. “She’s right about one thing. These next few weeks would be the best opening, if not the only opening. While it may have changed, the standard procedure was for about one-third of the estate’s staff to aid in guarding The Mother’s Blessing.”

“How much security is there?” Machi asks.

“If I were to guess, the estate employs around three hundred people. Not all of those have a specialty in combat, though they’re expected to be capable of adequately defending themselves.”

“It’s a challenge, then,” Uvogin grins, his excitement pulsating in the air. “Boss, give us the order, and we’ll take care of it.”

Chrollo puts his hand up. “Not yet. Shal, tell Nobunaga to bring that girl back.”

All it takes is a few minutes for Karina to return, a peaceful smile on her face as if she weren’t in the presence of Class A bounties. While she might not have known the full extent of Pakunoda’s abilities, it’s safe to assume she knows it cleared her story. The tension from before has been alleviated and replaced with a faint buzz. She was right when she said that it was an opportunity worth listening to. If successfully pulled off, this would undoubtedly be a historic heist for the Troupe, one that would further cement its reputation.

“Did she present any problems?” Chrollo asks, to which Nobunaga shakes his head.

“Sure can talk your ear off, but that’s about it,” he sighs. You cover your mouth with the back of your hand, hiding the urge to laugh at his admission. Nobunaga does look more tired than when he first took her away earlier. Now that more eyes are watching, he helps himself to taking a seat on one of the many rows of wooden pews.

“Karina. You will contact the men who placed bounties on us and call everything off. In exchange for allowing you to live, expect to be under constant surveillance. Any suspicious behavior will result in you being killed.”

“That’s fine with me,” she hums.

Chrollo nods to you. “Remove her restraints.”

You waste no time fulfilling his order and conjure Set A. The silver blade is brought up and down in the blink of an eye, cutting the rope used to tie her hands behind her back. She rubs the bruising skin with an almost unnoticeable wince. Whoever tied it (Feitan, if you had to guess), made it far tighter than it needed to be.

Karina bows her head deeply to everyone in the room. “I hope that we’ll all get along from now on.”

“Don’t get cocky,” Feitan interjects, clicking his tongue.

“I wouldn’t dream of it.”

At Karina’s prompting, Shalnark provides her with an additional laptop to fulfill Chrollo’s first condition. While this takes place, the other members scurry around as they please, searching for various activities to occupy themselves with. You believe you overheard that Franklin was going a town over to get some drinks. Other than that, everyone stays in the sanctuary for the most part, including you. You’ve stored some books into the subspace that lets you conjure your Sets for occasions such as this. Reaching into the black, circular opening, you pull out a copy of The Castle of Otranto.

“Hey, [First]!” Karina calls over, waving her arms with enthusiasm. You look up from your book and visibly frown. Maybe if you ignore her she’ll catch the hint? That doesn’t seem to be in her itinerary, however, as she persists. Some of the other members shoot you a quizzical glance, much to your chagrin. Only Pakunoda is semi-aware of your history with Karina and you’d prefer to keep it that way. What’s that English idiom again? No rest for the weary? Or was it the wicked? One of those sounds about right.

Wanting to avoid any future embarrassment, you begrudgingly shut your book and walk over to her before she does something stupid. She’s situated herself at a table in the far corner, her smile widening when you stop pretending she doesn’t exist. The chair next to her screeches against the ground as she pulls it out, patting it for good measure.

“Have a seat.” She instructs, to which you listen, crossing your legs over the other and placing your hands on your lap.

“Focus on your job,” you reprimand, eyeing the laptop that currently serves as her lifeline. You can sense the oncoming headache from a mile away. That dangerous gleam in her eyes instills more dread in you than anything else, you know that look well, loathe as you are to admit it.

Karina juts out her plump bottom lip. “I am! Surprise surprise, the internet out in this deserted wasteland is rather spotty. Not much left to do other than wait.”

“Then wait in silence.”

“Where’s the fun in that?”

“Not everything in life is fun.”

“Then why live at all?”

You suppress the urge to roll your eyes. “Was there something that you needed?”

“Actually, yes, there is,” she eagerly nods her head and leans forward, voice dropping to a whisper. “So, I overheard that arm wrestling is popular ‘round these parts. Care to take me on?”

Seriously? Was she always so… like this? How did you manage to get so enraptured in the first place? Sure, you were pretty lonely, but to think your standards allowed this minx to snake into your heart is incomprehensible. Though, you guess her eccentric personality was one of her many charms. You never felt bored when Karina was around and the same could be said for now. Any outsider looking at you two wouldn’t have the slightest inkling that you both parted on bad terms, or at least you hope that’s the impression they’d get.

“If I agree, may I return to reading in peace?” You already know you’ve lost the battle by the mischievous grin on her face.

“Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see how I’m feeling after I beat you,” she extends her arm, and you sigh.

Shalnark, who was silently observing the exchange, makes his presence known. “I’ll handle being the referee for this match.”

From the lilt in his voice, there’s no denying how much pleasure he’s deriving from watching this grating interaction. Karina’s voice must have carried, as some other members make their way over to see what will happen next. Phinks, Machi, and Nobunaga seem interested in what the outcome of your match will be.

Machi swivels a chair out and sits facing the table, and you hear her mutter under her breath, “Nobunaga wasn’t kidding.”

“Win and I’ll cover your next watch shift,” Nobunaga promises with a grin.

How much did she talk his ears off, anyway? You almost feel bad for him.

Shizuku walks over next, placing a hand on her chin and humming. “What was [First]’s arm wrestling rank again?”

“Eighth, I think,” Phinks recalls. “She beat Nobunaga even though he’s an Enhancer.”

Nobunaga shoots Phinks a dirty look, who simply snickers at his reaction.

From the corner of your eye, you realize your boss has been observing the exchange as well, his eyes not having scanned the pages of his book in some time. You eventually mirror Karina’s prior action and firmly grasp her outstretched hand. It’s then that you come to the realization her hand is trembling ever so slightly, the adrenaline from before must have worn off recently. It’s too bad that wasn’t enough to drain all her seemingly never-ending energy.

“Remember, no using Nen, only your physical strength,” Shalnark explains, to which you both nod. “Ready… go!”

Karina applies immense pressure right off the bat, her face contorting and wrinkling up as she focuses on trying to bring your arm down. You blink, fully unimpressed, having to barely utilize a fraction of your strength to contest all of hers. She continues to strain herself and you let her do as she pleases. Your arm doesn’t budge an inch from where it started despite her most valiant efforts, something you know will wound her pride. Her grip on your hand tightens and you notice it’s starting to perspire. A part of you almost feels bad for this display, but this was from her own prompting, so any possible guilt is alleviated.

In a last-ditch effort, she swings over her other arm, now using them both to try and push yours down. The watching members chuckle good-naturedly at the admittedly entertaining display, and it hits you then why Karina asked you to do this. You’re familiar enough with her tactics to know she’s trying to get them to warm up to her by acting endearing. Fair enough, you suppose, she can do as she pleases. It’s in everyone’s collective best interest if they stop treating her coldly.

You shake your head in disbelief and finally end her suffering. Applying but a touch more force, both her arms easily slam down, and she laughs sheepishly. Two years and she hasn’t changed a bit.

“Okay, maybe arm wrestling isn’t my thing,” she concedes, massaging her sore hand from the impact. Karina should feel grateful you went considerably easy on her. If you had been in a worse mood, it would’ve been as simple as breathing to smash her hand through the table. “[First], really, you could’ve gone easier on me! What if you broke my hand?”

Her complaining makes you shrug. “Learn to use the other.”

From how lighthearted the atmosphere is now, this morning almost feels like a bad dream rather than something that happened. That’s Karina for you. Always managing to get the people around her to loosen up, even if they are hardened criminals. There’s no denying that she’s good at what she does.

“You two sound like a bickering married couple,” Nobunaga snickers, much to your internal horror.

Karina jumps at the opportunity. “If only! Unfortunately, I couldn’t dream of affording [First]’s dowry— ah, okay, I’m shutting up now, don’t look at me like that.”

She puts her hands up in defense at the murderous glare you send her way. Every divine being above and malevolent creature below must have imparted their protection upon this woman, as the Troupe members take her ‘slip up’ as a joke and nothing more. Before you can humble her with a rematch, Franklin comes through the sanctuary doors, various cans of alcoholic beverages falling onto the ground.

You offer to take the first round of watch duty regardless of Nobunaga’s earlier promise.

There are a few places you could situate yourself outside, though you ultimately decide on a wooden swing in front of the building. While it’s creaky and not the most comfortable place to sit, the slight movement is pleasant, pairing well with the night’s cool breeze against your skin. It’s been an excruciatingly long day. The difference in scenery is a welcome one — ruins of a long forgotten town and abandoned cars littering the streets — the only life for miles being yourself and the Troupe.

Footsteps against the gravelly ground approach you from behind. You weren’t expecting the company, but if you’re correctly assuming who it is, don’t mind in the slightest. Chrollo takes a seat on the wooden swing, the structure swinging back. In the space between you two, he sets down a beer can and sandwich, which you eye warily.

“You haven’t eaten in a day,” he reminds, a fact you’d genuinely forgotten about. It’s a touching gesture. While you assume he’s here to further flesh out the oncoming heist, he didn’t need to bring you this. You take the sandwich from the plastic bag and start to eat, though not without giving a polite thank you.

Chrollo quirks an eyebrow up. “Are you not a fan of alcohol, [First]? I’ve never seen you drink any.”  

“I prefer having total control of my body,” you explain, eyeing the can warily. There’s more to your preference but you decide to leave it at that. Fortunately for you, Chrollo has enough tact to sense he shouldn’t tread further. If he ever needs to borrow your Nen, you’ll need to elaborate further. You wonder if he’d be dissuaded from borrowing it by you explaining the full consequences of your abilities.

Now that you’ve finished eating, Chrollo gets to the matter at hand.

“This job will require lots of preparation. I’m going to lean heavily on your knowledge, so let me know if I’m troubling you too much,” he quips, to which your lips quirk into a smile. You’ve learned that his presence is a pleasant one. In downtime like this, he’s soft spoken and well mannered, qualities you find yourself more drawn to everyday.

“I’m surprised you’ve yet to tire of my presence.”

Chrollo shoots you an incredulous look. “I don’t believe I ever could.”

If his main goal was to put you more at ease, he’s accomplishing it with flying colors.

“Boss, forgive me for being presumptuous, but… why did you not instruct Pakunoda to check me?” Your breath hitches, the both of you surprised by your uncharacteristic boldness. Minute details revolving around your work used to never be given a second thought. The ends defined the means, everything else in between was inconsequential as long as the job got done. For some reason, you find yourself dwelling on things you used to never bat an eyelash at, not wanting your fellow Troupe members to have the wrong impression.

He regains himself and answers, “What would you benefit from betraying us?”

“... Fair point,” you agree after a moment’s reflection. Chrollo must be secure enough in his ability to understand people — he more or less has to be to maintain order of such a volatile group — you wonder what it’s like to be in such a strenuous position.

“The Spider would cease to exist if I suspected every member over a coincidence,” he further elaborates. “All of us are, in some way or another, connected to the underbelly of society. It’s natural that these things will happen.”

You nod your head. “You’re confident in your members.”

“Naturally,” he smiles with true sincerity. “That includes you as well, [First]. I trust you.”

What is this? This slight tinge of anxiety churning in your stomach, how your heart thumps at an unnecessarily rapid rate? The slight chill of twilight is long forgotten by how your body flushes with heat. Those deep, almost omniscient gray eyes of his prove too much of a challenge to stare into any longer, you suddenly find your lap a more interesting place to look. It’s a senseless plea to hope someone as perceptive as Chrollo wouldn’t notice the magnitude of your reaction, yet you pray he thinks little of it.

I trust you. Those three words resonate loud and clear like a church’s bell, occupying the space of your mind without ceasing.

“Ah, I just remembered,” Chrollo speaks up, catching your attention. “I noticed the book you were reading earlier. The Castle of Otranto, was it? It’s been many years since I’ve read it myself, would you mind lending it to me for the time being?”

You nod your head, but not without adding, “I never thought I’d lend my belongings to a renowned thief.”

Chrollo laughs, the sound sending your heart aflutter once more.

“This is an item I swear to return. You have my word.”

ReinerxMikasa (ReiKasa) Extremely Kinky A to Z Ask Game (R20+) Headcanon #19

*Update: 24 March 2021

A continuation of this ask & inspired by this original post. Dedicated to @xrocketmanx for their amazing 💖 on my ko-fi page!

(A/N: ‼️WARNING‼️Graphic description of very explicit smut with potentially provocative images ⛔ Please don't click Keep Reading if you're below 20 🙅‍♀️ Sorry kiddos! To my more adult readers, please absorb this post's content with appropriate discretion & maturity)

(In complete Alphabetical Order)

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

People expect Reiner to be the one who would jump off the bed immediately soon after when they’re done but on the contrary, he just loves lying there and holding Mikasa in his arms post-coitus. Although, they do sleep with Mikasa lying on his chest most nights. Mikasa wasn’t used to be held intimately in the first few months of their relationship, so the first time they made love, Reiner gave her the space that she needed before, during and after. It was Mikasa who finally initiated their first cuddle post-coitus after the next several weeks.

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Reiner: Very confident of his physical appearance and in his skin. He really loves everything on and about Mikasa. He loves her body type the way she is - to him, hers is just perfect. But, his most favorite body part of hers he'd like to touch first every time he could is her hands. He just like holding her hands when he wakes up, winding down for the night & even when he's asleep.

Mikasa: This woman, despite having a bombshell athletic figure, still secretly feels insecure of the way she looks. She loves Reiner's biceps the most - at home, she'll sneak a quick peck or a nibble on his biceps when he's doing the dishes or making dinner. She also likes to snuggle up to him on the couch with his arm draped around her shoulders, sometimes until she falls asleep.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… lol)

She...swallows? 🙈 (holy shizz i'm not so sure of this one. Can't think of a suitable answer without being cringey 🤣)

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Reiner & Mikasa once had a quickie inside the changing booth during a beach trip with their friends. Reiner had also went down on Mikasa after dinner at his mum's place, right in Karina's laundry room because he 'accidentally' spilt some wine on her dress & wanted to get her dress cleaned up. He ended up having her as dessert on top of the moving dryer & she left her underwear there by accident.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

They were both not each other’s first lovers but when they first got together, the experience is like being with no other. They discovered new parts & points of not only their significant other’s physical & spiritual strengths but also their own respective preferences as well. Reiner’s quite a ladies’ man during his early years in the military but after a while, he got bored of the game. Meeting Mikasa, he realised he wants to play the game again but this time to win it for good. Mikasa has only been with one boyfriend since college & being with Reiner opened her eyes up to vast possibilities.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

No, Reiner doesn't do the Military Style despite being a military man 🤣 Missionary & Cow Girl are their standard starting positions. Despite Mikasa being very flexible, which gave them more advantage in attempting the more physically-challenging positions, but the following are their more favorite experimental ones:

Oasis

Basket

Watering Can

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

A little bit of both, no doubt. Reiner has a dorky sense of humor & Mikasa's odd humor makes for a good tension-breaking combination. Their foreplays always begin with a good laugh - with Reiner ghosting his teasing touches on her love handles. Gets her in the mood for some serious sexing every time.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

For both, the carpets matched the drapes. Mikasa tried Brazillian wax once and uhh...Reiner abstained for a week & a half because he prefers her au naturalé 🙈 He said it felt odd from what he's used to haha

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

There are days they’ll just have a quickie if they get in the mood while just chilling, watching TV together after dinner. Before the children came, they would always have slow, intense eye-gazing, tantric, unrushed lovemaking. After the twins came into the picture, they’ll be lucky if they can even have cuddle time together >D Mikasa doesn’t say “I love you” out-loud but showed it in the way she touches & kisses Reiner’s arm when he’s in the kitchen making dinner or when he’s giving the twins a bath.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Oooh...Reiner rarely does this after he dated Mikasa & married her. But he loves getting her to touch herself in the showers. While he watches.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Did i tell you about their muscle kink & how much they love each other’s muscles?? Roleplay :) They like to pretend they’re strangers meeting in a cafe or a hotel bar and later have a ‘pretend one-night stand’ with each other haha It keeps the flame burning! (i posted a oneshot on this.)

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Home: bedroom, kitchen and in his home office. In the showers too!

They're not one to do it in public but they did have several outdoor trysts on the back of his 4WD while having a romantic night under the stars.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going) haha can't help not including this gif

When Mikasa rubs one of Reiner's thighs, rest assured that his gears will be running. Meanwhile when Reiner nuzzles her neck and started caressing her abs, oh it's an on for her alright.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

⛔ Backdoors are a big N.O ⛔

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

They're both amazing givers... You know what it means: 34 + 35 🤫 Reiner would sometimes initiates when Mikasa's already asleep. Remember that Zoom Conference & online gaming session? Mikasa likes to get back at Reiner when he least expects it.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Both depending on their moods...quickies are usually fast pounding yet not too rough, Reiner respects Mikasa too much to ever be at risk of hurting her. Usually their lovemaking would be sensual & soul-bonding at the same time.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Mikasa prefers to wear pants when they ever go for outings, movie trips, hiking trips. But, she wears skirts when they're visiting their families for a reason: smoother access for quickies. The moment she walks down the stairs in a beautiful dress before they head to his mum's or her aunts', Reiner already knows it. They be getting freaky with a quickie later 🙈

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Reiner & Mikasa are very experimental in the bedroom. Sure, they don’t have frequent lovemaking but when they’re in the mood, fireworks are a guarantee throughout with different new positions ;) Risk-taker? Let’s just say Reiner’s virility and Mikasa’s flexibility provided a lot of perks in their love lives together (and some pregnancy scares too! before they were ready to conceive) Mikasa once gave Reiner head while they're stuck in traffic heading into a road block. He'd finished just before the the car in front of them pass the inspection 🙈

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Ooh boy, all night haha Rounds: 2 max at one time. Duration: At least 1.5hours X) They both are super fit, athletic people so one can expect their staminas to be nothing less than subpar. *cough* In Canon AU: Max 4 times or 1/3 of the night *winks* because supernatural & acker powers!

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

No, they don't 🙈

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Goes without saying: a lot. Mikasa likes to wear Reiner's tshirts/ dress shirts at home to tease him. While Reiner likes to wear his reading glasses a lot at home because that is one of her biggest turn ons from him.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Mikasa's the quiet one between the two and the loudest she'd ever been was just a deep, heavy whimper. Reiner's the louder one that sometimes Mikasa would have to smother him when they're having a quickie 🤣

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Even after more than 20 years together, Reiner and Mikasa still make out like they're teenagers - pretending to sneak around and grinding in hidden, cramped spaces away from their kids.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Mikasa : Dynamite & powerful grip - thighs and you-know-what (even after 3 kids!)

Reiner : Thicc - ass & this man is packing. He has girth!

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest: 15 🤣 There's something about getting Mikasa to relax and laugh during their chill time, that just instantaneously revved up their engines at the same time. Reiner is a very tender, romantic person & Mikasa cannot resist it when he starts to tell her how much he loves her & appreciates her. He likes to kiss her hand when they're just hanging out even with friends. Everything Reiner does is genuine & that warms her heart everytime.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Reiner would be the first to go out like a light & Mikasa just likes to rest her head on his chest and hear his beating heart & relaxed breathing. Mikasa thinks Reiner's little snores are adorable. But when they're just cuddling on the couch, Mikasa would fall asleep first & Reiner would carry her to the bed.

A/N: I had a lot of fun with this & I hope you'll enjoy it too! Thank you so much for the support & love 💖 xoxo More asks to come!

[figure-skating-watch-party]

Russian Cup, stage 4

I’ll try to mention some of the lesser known skaters this time. Because they are all so good but often this is not enough because this is Russia: there are countless talented skaters and only a very limited number of international spots. (I came to the conclussion that - especially in juniors - the key is not to get attached too much to one skater, one team and just appreciate everything we get to see)

Pairs

Sometimes I really can’t wrap my mind around it. They are all sooo good. First warm-up group and they are so good, second group and they are great, third group world class. 

Let me scream VIKTORIA VASILIEVA / Nikita Volodin. She was a singles skater a year ago. I saw her two years ago at JGP with my own eyes. And now? She is a pair skater. That was such an awesome debut for this new pair. I am in awe. And especially their Mickmacks FP is great. 

I also liked Maria Alchova/Sergei Bezborodko and their Peal Harbour FP. (Poor them and the death spiral though)

Karina Akopova/Nikita Rakhmanin they are speeeed. (Limelight SP and based on my very limited knowledge of cyrilic alphabet a mix of P. I. Tchaikovsky’s music with A. Bocelli’s Fall on me???) Anyway they are so quick on the ice.

I love every Memoirs of a Geisha program and of course I loved Jasmina Kadyrova/Ivan Balchenko and their SP. 

I love Boikova/Kozlovskii so so so much. And I love their SP, I’m so happy that we finally saw them. Their SP is so light, tender, classical. Their FP was good but not just that magically great as we maybe got too much used to it. It couldn’t be easy for them skating just hours after their coach’s husband passed away on top of everything else. (I absolutely didn’t know but they formed a pair in 2015 having skated only in singles prior to that.)

I have to admit I have a complicated relationship with Tarasova/Morozov. Though I liked their Adagio FP and after rewatching Bolero many times, yeah, there’s in fact nothing wrong with this program... They are just not my favourite skaters but I can still see why they are one of the best in the world. If I associate B/K with lightness, T/M are definitely power. 

Mishina/Galliamov are back. Well, they were not away, it was just one bad comp and it happened to be Russian nationals which was so unfortunate. They were oozing confidence this time. They were flawless, I loved the low death spiral and the whole Esmeralda SP and the dance lifts and creative choreo sequence in their Bohemian Rhapsody FP. 

Ice Dance, Sr. 

I really appreciate that the organizers give the opportunity to foreign skaters training in Russia to unofficially take part in the Russian Cup series. You won’t find them on the results pages, but I think for them the most important thing is that they can skate in whatever form it is... 

This time, it was Hungarians Anna Yanovskaya/Adam Lukacs skating to Grease RD and Hymne l’amour FD. (I love these combinations of programs: one more upbeat one more classical). 

If I’m counting right it’s at least fifth Grease I’ve seen this (or last) season: Guignard/Fabbri, Shpilevaya/Smirnov, Pavlenina/Aleksanian and the queen and the king of Grease Smart/Diaz - I enjoy watching and comparing these programs, so there’s never too much Singing in the rain, Too darn hot... etc. ;) ) 

If you want to see passion and also synchronized hydroblades watch Vlada Pavlenina/Aleksandr Aleksanian La sal de la terra FD. 

I like L’Opera Rock FD of Svetlana Lizunova/Alexander Vakhnov. 

And then Julia Tulseva/Anatolii Belovodchenko. Cabaret / Umbrella. I simply love these programs, Cabaret, Burlesque... And their FD was even better, their speed, the interpretation, the curve lifts, the jazzy feel...

And I’m really happy that Anastasia Skoptsova/Kirill Aleshin won this stage and that they kept their Bonnie & Clyde RD.

Ice Dance, Jr. 

Let’s take a look at some junior ice dancers! Of course Arina Ushakova/Maxim Nekrasov (I like their Chicago RD) and Vasilisa Kaganovskaya/Valerii Angelopol (here I like their FD) were the best but there were so many great performances:

Polina Kocherigina/Evgenii Artyushchenko - Mala Luna FD.  

Polina Usova/Egor Goncharov - Anything goes RD / Sigur Ros FD. Especially the FD was such a mature performance. 

Ksenia Davidova/Michail Antonov - Singing in the rain RD I liked the choreography, the whole performance aaand the speed. 

Daria Bukovschikova/Alexander Vdovin - New York, New York RD A relaxing “feel-good” program (a style I really like)

Taisia Linchevskaya/Timur Baklanov-Smirnov - Cabaret RD The stylization, the poses, the carriage on the ice...

Alexandra Shabalina/Maxim Kiryukhin - Romeo and Juliet FD

And now let me present three teams I absolutely fell in love with:

Alina Abdulina/Maxim Nuralyev - Fifty checks / Mindfields I love the variations of the famous P/C lift in the RD. And the more pop/rock feel of the FD and synchronized cartwheels?!!  (I called it “P/C lift” but let’s not be like twitter moral police saying that anyone else doing this lift is a copycat; this lift was there long before P/C, eg. Belbin/Agosto did it...)

Sofia Kachushkina/Oleg Muratov - A chorus line / Walking castle?? I nicknamed them Team Red according to their RD costumes. The RD is such a fun and energetic performance, they even use the lyrics - saying steps, walk, ministeps and they do on the ice. And their FD is totally different, very balletic, like a fairy tale. 

Alisa Ovsyankina/Matvei Samokhin - Aladdin / Dance of the Sugar plum fairy

They are babies and these programs are so fitting for them. The FD is from Nutcracker and I squealed. Yes, yes, yes, yes, that’s a perfromace, that’s so cute and just lovely to watch.
