Summary:

The rules of life for Julie are pretty simple. 1. Go to work. 2. Be home before sunrise. 3. Make sure other vampires and creatures of the night aren’t causing trouble in her territory. 4. (and most important of all) Avoid hunters at all costs. Everything changes when Julie accidentally saves one from a certain (and painful) death. Suddenly, she and Luke, a hunter who is much more than meets the eye, can't seem to escape each other. Every encounter, every touch, every moment draws them deeper and deeper into a forbidden love that could unravel the fabric of life as they and everyone around them know it.

the wangxian + a-yuan "dads with an adopted son" thing is fine and enjoyable in fanfics honestly but I think we as a fandom are really not utilizing the idea of all of them in unconventional familial structures enough. Like, canonically it wasn't so much that wwx was a-yuan's guardian as that a-yuan was being raised collectively by the wens and wwx was adopted INTO the larger wen family. And lwj got attached to him through that. A-yuan just has these very attached weird uncles/older cousin figures that aren't related to him by blood at all but keep sticking around.

Just think of a modern AU with a lot less death where lwj does as he does in canon and keeps showering a-yuan in gifts as much as he can and when wwx is like "aiyah lan zhan you're gonna spoil him. Not everyone is as rich as you! What's his family supposed to say if they can't buy him all the stuff you do?" lwj just goes "Hm". And from then on out every year once a-yuan's birthday is near the extended Wen family members (well. the ones that are invited that is. No one wants wen chao at a birthday party) wakes up to a wechat payment from lwj.

Random wen cousin number 6 texts granny like

cousin 6: i just got 400 yuan????

granny: oh that's just wangji

cousin 6: i've never met this guy in my life???

granny: he wants you to buy a-yuan a nice birthday present!

cousin 6: how does he know my bank account???

Maximus Decimus Meridius Headcanons: Expressions of Love

The thing about Maximus is that, once he is in love with you, everything he does becomes an expression of love.

He has always been a keen observer, and he puts those skills to good use in his relationship with you. Anytime you are sad or frustrated or uncertain, he always is able to sense those emotions without you having to tell him.

...and while he isn't the type for grand gestures, he will always find a way to reassure you. A subtle squeeze of your hand, if you're in a public place. An embrace that lasts longer than usual. Some soft words of encouragement.

...AND just because he's not the type for grand public gestures, that doesn't mean he's not a romantic down to the depths of his bones. This man absolutely lives to bring you flowers, gift you the finest horses he can find, carve special figures for you out of wood. Nothing brings him greater joy than not only being able to give you something, but being able to make it with his own hands and think of you while he's making it.

Also kisses. So many kisses.

Kisses on your cheek, on your lips, on your forehead, your hands, your arms, your legs, your chest, your neck, every last inch of you. Gentle kisses, passionate kisses, languid kisses, intense kisses, emotional kisses, sleepy kisses... it just never ends with him.

He loves sharing his interests with you, as well. Reading is one of his favorite pastimes, and many evenings are spent curled up with him beside the fire or in bed, listening to him read aloud. Riding horses and tending crops also takes up a great deal of his time, and he loves for you to work alongside him so you can spend time together.

And he will look for so many opportunities to spend time with you. Going for a midnight swim together. Cooking a meal together. Taking an early-morning walk. Sharing a bath. Even just doing repairs around your home together. Anything is an opportunity.

While he is usually a very stoic and serious person, one of his primary expressions of love is the way he smiles and laughs when he's with you. It's as if he can't keep himself from grinning when he's watching you — you just bring him so much joy, he can't keep it contained inside.

Even if is far away from you for many months at a time, he finds himself whispering prayers to the gods to keep you safe, to not let him forget your smiling face, to bring you back together soon.

And when he returns home to you, it's with such joy, because his whole life has become an expression of love to you. If Maximus is in love with you, you will never have the slightest reason to doubt his love.

...and of course a few slightly nsfw ones, because I can't help it :D

There is no sex with Maximus that does not involve an untold amount of kissing, caressing, and outpourings of affection. Every time he takes you in his arms, it's because he wants to demonstrate his love for you, and he always does exactly that.

Having him go down on you isn't something you even have to ask for — he does it of his own volition. More nights than not are spent with him kneeling between your legs, coaxing the sweetest sounds from you.

Nothing pleases him more than knowing that you trust him and that he satisfies you as no one else can. Hearing you moan his name is like an aphrodisiac.

He always keeps his eyes open when you make love. He wants to study your expressions, look deep in your eyes while you're sharing that time together.

And when you're both finished and so spent you can't even move, he always takes the time to gather you up in his arms, kiss your face gently, and whisper how much he loves you before you both drift off to sleep in each other's embrace.

while many times this goes unspecified, as many authors think it goes without saying, it's an inescapable truth that a non-insignificant amount of characters in the western canon come across as profoundly white, cisheterosexual and christian in their demeanor and in their values. speculating about how a character might change if you altered any of those groups invites a deeper exploration of these aspects than you're likely to encounter in most corners of fandom.

not to mention, how much more inviting these arguable blank canvases seem to be when it comes to fandom engagement, vis a vis explicitly non-white, non-cishet, non-christian characters.

“Peter.”

The boy can’t even look Tony in the eye. Not because he’s afraid, but because he’s tired. Defeated. The most he does is glance at his mentor like a sad, curious puppy.

Tony can only smile.

“You’re doing great,” he tells him.

Peter looks surprised to hear that, as he raises his head a little and actually gazes at the man.

“I know you don’t believe it with how much you’ve been dealing with,” Tony details. “You might think you’re failing, but I see your effort. You’re a hero both at school and at home… and well, everywhere. And I’m proud of you.”

It’s like Peter hasn’t heard these words in forever.

Because his eyes grow deep, his lips quiver, he begins shaking. Tony can tell there’s a lot of pain in there, as Peter covers his mouth once he starts sobbing, so he doesn’t make much noise.

Tony kneels in front of the kid, opening his arms. Peter immediately launches himself towards him, hugging him so desperately, and sobbing so much that it must hurt. Tony hates imagining how long Peter must have kept it to himself. How long has he felt like a failure?

Peter is so much more than “good enough”.

He’s doing great, amazing, even.

And the kid needs to remember that more often.

Tony will make sure of that.

i flip flop a lot between anti sex anti horny xander and xander who chose his retainers purely by thinking with his dick like sorry i dont believe you picked laslow and peri based purely on objective measures i think you saw laslow almost knock you on your ass and show you last minute mercy and it did something to you. i think you saw peri hit a crit in that tourney, messy ass mascara and everything, and fell to your knees. like theres no way. THERES NOOOO WAY.

Also yeah just a general PSA: I am home visiting family for the holidays (Dec 12-Jan 1). I am spending it with family but have downtime to myself too; however, I have a very tiny, 4GB RAM laptop, and while it does OK, too many tabs makes it run slowly, AND it's only a 13" screen, so sometimes my eyes just can't handle staring at it for too long compared to what I have at home.

So bear with me that I might not be writing as much as I normally do, thank you.

Luke has always loved Christmas, because it's literally magical for him and his family in a way most post people can't imagine. Unexpectedly he finds himself facing down a tight and dangerous deadline, with a nearly impossible solution.

Maybe fate will show both of them the real magic of the holiday season.

@story-courty made this awesome moodboard

[vallasochrasy]

so basically in late december i bought for dirty cheap the complete italian edition of obscure trans manga F Compo which was just lying there in a comicbook shop and it has been the most wild read not only because of the content itself which is 10/10 BUT because on issue n.3 i found in the fanmail of the manga a earth-shattering letter from a trans woman praising F Compo for its overall positive representation of trans lives and then i found out she was actually a super relevant trans activist of the time AND AND her letter apparently touched some readers so much than in later issues there were STILL people in the fanmail talking about the legendary letter of Mirella Izzo and asking for their contacts to be displayed in case she would find them and mail them back and it felt like finding a precious relic from a time long gone where communication was still evolving and not completely synchronous, this game of telephone stretched through time, like, did mirella ever buy the other issues? did she write back to those who asked? did she get to see that her words were valued and loved in this tiny space at the end of a manga made of cheap shitty paper? that they resonated with people? maybe those people were gay or trans themselves, or maybe they were simply shook by the words of mirella, either way it was very moving to witness

Girly pop, where have you written this fan fiction? Where Tim and Kon have a baby? I need to read it. Your prompts are amazing!

in my head, thanks for asking!

[justalittlelogophile]

Maps

Oh hon,

You should see the way he looks at you

The way he reads you like a treasured map

His eyes: steady, searching and true

His hands, ever the compass, in his travels

With firm delicacy, his fingertips trail the lines

As he explores

As he seeks

The adventure of his dreams unveiling new

So is it any surprise? The look in his eyes

With his heart full of wanderlust for you?
