This is what happens when you're raised by TV and trained in literary analysis

Beyond the crushing heartbreak of that finale, one thing in particular has stuck with me when I look at it in the context of S2 as a whole.

He lays out their relationship, "We're a team, a group. A group of the two of us. And we've spent our existence pretending that we aren't."

He then turns his head away and says, "I mean, the last few years, not really."

He pauses here, facing the interior of the bookshop. Really looks it up and down.

Turns back, "And I would like to spend" before choking on his words and looks toward the window. He can't finish saying something like "And I would like to spend eternity with you" because that's too much, too fast, for both of them.

But it's that "last few years" bit that has firmly lodged itself in my very broken brain.

According to Gaiman, it's been "a few years" since the end of Season 1. Armageddon has been averted. Heaven and Hell have reluctantly retreated. Crowley and Aziraphale have been effectively cut loose from their "sides," leaving them to form their own side.

So at the start of Season 2, we get a glimpse of the “fragile existence” they have carved out for themselves. To me, the biggest difference that we see is how they exist together in front of others. Going to the coffee shop, the pub, and the other shops along the street that Aziraphale has lived on for over 200 years. And don’t forget how they act in front of Nina, Maggie, and sweet, dim Muriel.

At the coffee shop, Aziraphale stammers a bit when Nina asks who Crowley is, but he still seems to have affection in his voice when he says, "We go back a long time."

Compared to Shakespearian "He's not my friend! We've never met before. We don't know each other!" panic, this is an incredible difference.

Of course, each time, Crowley is cool and cheeky and does nothing to indicate that they aren't a pair. Though, of course, he does deny it when Nina asks about Aziraphale being his side piece. “He’s not my bit on the side! He’s far too pure of heart to be anyone’s bit on the side.” And refers to him as an “Angel [swallows]I know.”

When they go the pub, Crowley's joy at doing something together in public that they do not normally do is super cute, including his cheeky order for Aziraphale's sherry. Then, when bringing the drinks over to the socially trapped Aziraphale, he greets Mr. Brown with a truly adorable, "Hello" and a signature DT smile. Then upon hearing how “excited” Mr. Fell is to host the meeting, he looks down and says, “Oh? You astonish me.” while Aziraphale sips his sherry and squirms.

We also watch as Crowley follows Aziraphale as he goes to each shop and talks to the owners about the meeting/secret ball. In theory, Crowley has no reason to tag along, and he certainly doesn’t help sway anyone who doesn’t want to/can’t go. He goofs around at the magic shop. He splays out on the bench, chin on hand, looking for all the world a husband waiting for his wife to pick out a dress at the department store. They are so married it’s ridiculous.

Finally, their behavior in front of Muriel while inside their sanctuary. Crowley sits on the arm of Aziraphale’s chair, somehow looking supremely comfortable on the old-fashioned furniture. He folds up those gloriously long limbs and presses himself as close as possible.

He smiles and plays along with Aziraphale’s coaching of Muriel in her disguise. Calls him Angel and asks to speak in private. And at the end, during the awful wait while Aziraphale talks with The Metatron, Crowley cleans up the shop and tells Muriel that he and Aziraphale will need some “us” time after all this. No beating around the bush. 

Without oversight, they can be openly together and happy. But Heaven just can’t let that happen.

Based on this post

Arthur when Merlin gets home from work: *runs up and hugs him without saying anything about it*

Merlin: *immediately drops everything in his hands and hugs back, not letting go and giving one of the best hugs of his life because it’s Arthur and he’s spent 1500 years loving him*

Arthur, after five or more minutes of bear hugging the man he’s in love with: (mutters) no homo.

Merlin, the immortal: *dies*

Merlin: *pulls away and pats Arthur’s shoulder in the most awkward “buddy” kind of way before walking into their flat and locking himself in his room to have an existential crisis/gay panic*

Things are awkward as hell, until Arthur asks Merlin if he can finally show him movies. Merlin goes to get his laptop and opens Google to find Netflix, seeing recent searches.

Merlin: Arthur?

Arthur: huh?

Merlin, dealing with what he can: why did you want to buy an archive?

Arthur: …is this magic? How-

Merlin: no, just technology again. You had search history on. I can um… see everything you’ve researched.

Arthur: everything..?

Merlin: everything…

Arthur: what did you say about um… oh right. Fuck.

Merlin: *smiles and pulls Arthur into a hug*

Arthur: Merlin? I- I thought…

Merlin: you are the most important thing in every universe, world, and realm to me, Arthur. 1500 years didn’t change that, and whatever comes next for us certainly won’t change it either. If there’s ever anything that you want to tell me, then I’ll be right here.

Arthur: *hugs back and hides his face, teary eyed, in Merlin’s neck*

Arthur, murmuring against Merlin’s neck: I’m bisexual.

Merlin: Thank you for telling me,

Arthur: And I’m in love with you.

Merlin, teary eyed and beaming: I love you too, Arthur. More than anything.

Arthur: Not in a no homo kind of way. In a, I’d marry you if I could kind of way…

Merlin: *laughs a little* I think you’ve got something else to research,

Arthur: what?

Merlin: *pulls the laptop to himself and types something before turning it around to Arthur*

Can I marry my best friend? (After I take him out on a date)

(He did that thing where you search one thing then type something else into the search bar without pressing go)

Arthur reads how its legal for men to get married then looks up at Merlin, he jumps on him and tackles him into a hug, laughing and crying happily. They watch heart stopper and Arthur starts playing rugby, they get a dog, date for three months before Arthur asks Merlin to marry him randomly one evening.

Merlin says yes, of course, so two days later when he gets in from work, Arthur hugs him, covers his eyes and leads him into their living room where he set up a full romance novel style proposal. He gets down on one knee with a really nice ring and gives a whole speech. (my aro ass can’t imagine what, but you know what I mean. It’s super cute and romantic)

Merlin says yes again and they get married soon after and live on a farm before both dying of old age after a long and happy life together.

Merlin spends the rest of their lives teasing Arthur about the “no homo” after their first hug thing.

Merlin also teaches Arthur about clearing search history and incognito, Arthur uses it exclusively for surprising Merlin because they’ve got no need for any secrets between them in this lifetime.

[fumikoshi]

''How could you do this to your beloved husband, y/n…? I thought you loved me...''

...

''...No answer, huh? You pretended to love me all this time. Tell me, y/n, why did you marry me? To play with my feelings?''

''...Toru, don't exaggerate. Whatever you do, my decision is final. Just for one month, you'll stay away from sugar and sweets and sweets. It's for your own good.''

Your voice was stern, you weren't going to let him change your mind. He breathed dramatically and pressed his hand to his chest.

''I can't believe that my own wife wants to kill me-! Is this your plan to get rid of me? How could you do this to me? How do you think I can do it without those soft kikufukus, sweet cakes, and candies?''

''Toru-! Don't act like a drama queen, it's only one month.''

''What?! 10 years? Ah- please kill me instead of this..''

You sighed deeply. He really was like a child. Sometimes you think you're babysitting a child.

''Please, my lovely wifey~, you can't spare your super handsome, strong and lovely hubby~''

he took your delicate face in his huge hands and he looked at you with those beautiful blue eyes that he thought you couldn't say no to him. You frowned and grabbed his large hands and pulled them away from your cheeks.

''No is no, Satoru. You can't make me change my mind.''

he pursed his lips and threw himself down on the couch and spoke in a whimpering voice.

''You're too cruel to your hubby''

It was hard for you to restrict him from what he loved, but you had to do it. He ate too many sweets, and sometimes he preferred to have cake or candy instead of breakfast. This was very bad for his health. Especially teeth health. You thought that one month without sugar would reduce his sugar addiction.

At the end of one month, the last day of his diet, you will make him his favorite kikufuku with your own hands as a reward for his patience. With less sugar, of course.

Everything was going well for one week. At least that's what you thought. Little did you know, Gojo's love for sugar was as unyielding as his determination in battle.

One evening, as you preparing dinner, you heard a faint rustling coming from the direction of the pantry. Suspicion pricked at your senses. you went to the pantry to find out the source of the sound.

There, standing amidst the shelves of provisions, was Gojo himself, a joyful expression flitting across his features as he hastily stuffed something into his mouth. There was a lot of candy in an old box. Now you understand. The day you imposed the ban, he had made himself a stash of candy and put them in an old box, and placed the box in the pantry so it wouldn't attract too much attention.

That explains why he goes to the pantry every day, always with some excuse.

Caught red-handed, he froze, his eyes widening in surprise and guilt when he noticed you. The candies fell out of his hand

"Gojo Satoru," you exclaimed, your voice a mixture of disbelief and admonishment. "What do you think you're doing?"

Gojo attempted to feign innocence, his mouth still half-full of contraband candy. "Oh, wifey," he began, his voice laced with charm. "I was just… uh… inspecting the pantry! Yes, inspecting. I-I felt the presence of a curse here"

you crossed your arms over your chest, your patience wearing thin.

"Don't try to make excuses your way out of this, Satoru," you retorted, your tone firm. "You know very well that I've forbidden you from eating sugary stuff. And yet, here you are, sneaking around like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar."

Gojo's shoulders slumped in defeat.

"Buut I just couldn't resist~."

He whined like a child. You sighed and shook your head in disbelief. "You're worse than a child sometimes, you know that? You're lucky I love you. Throw them in the trash right now and wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon" When you said this, he pursed his lips and whined.

''...Okay''

Suddenly, a wry grin formed on his lips and pulled you to his chest

''But maybe you'll let me eat you out after dinner to curb my sweet tooth, wifey~''

Your eyes widened and cheeks turned red when you understood what he implied.

''Satoru!''

Fumi: I would be very happy if you could tell me what you think of this one-shot in the comments. ♥

[ebonyslasher]

Spicy Alphabet: Jason Voorhees

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

Such a sweetheart. He's eager to clean up after. It's a bit sloppy at first but he gets the hang of it. Tucking you into the bed and laying right beside you when he's done to cuddle. He does everything out of love and necessity. Of course you won't be able to move after THAT session. 

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

He's quite proud of his torso, it's a powerhouse. His torso is the one thing he'll allow himself to look happily at in the mirror. Those abs and back muscles were a blessing.

You? He doesn't have one. Everything about you is a blessing from God to him. There hasn't been an inch of your body he's neglected. 

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

This may sound strange, but it depends on your relationship development.

Married? Cream pies oozing out of you every time.

Engaged? Cum shots on different body parts.

Even if you can't physically get pregnant, Jason feels like creampie always equals possible pregnancy. 

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

There's nothing dirty about this pure man. How dare you! Until he kills……then he's pretty messy.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Not experienced at all. Pretty sure he grew up evangelical Christian. They don't like even kissing until you get married. He's awkward, uncomfortable, and shy. 

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Missionary 

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Let's avoid laughing until he gets super comfortable with sex. He might think you're making fun of him. Once he's more confident in himself, he'll also laugh at the weird sounds and awkward transitions.

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

His pubic hair has its own ecosystem. You swear you could discover some new animal species in there. He'll groom if you ask him, or even let you trim him yourself. But if you like the ecosystem, be ready to become an ecologist 🌱

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Exceptionally romantic. There are times where it gets so overwhelming, it makes you cry. That and the incredible orgasms he gives you. Actually, you can't tell which reason made you cry the most.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Nah. He will just come to you.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

As long as it's gentle, he's into BDSM elements. Mostly bondage and you dominating him. Big scary guy likes to be put in his place, figuratively, by his small, cute s/o. It helps him unwind from his killing sprees. Once married, he will have the strongest urge for breeding.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

If you are okay with it, on a bed near the lake. The moonlight shines down on you both, exposing the glisten of sweat on skin.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Your existence is enough to turn him on. But he gets especially hard when you take charge and take care of him, doting on him like the loving spouse you are.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Anything that will hurt you. Also, anything that he finds degrading for the both of you like; scat, piss play, or spitting 

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

Loves to give, give, givvvvvvvveeeee!! Oh, you'll be screaming in pleasure when he goes down. His tongue and the amount of saliva he produces makes you feel like you're sitting in his heavenly water. 

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Scared to go rough, so he's slow and sensual. Later on, he'll allow some rough moments, but they are very quick. 

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Would rather have a full love making session. Quickies remind him of the teens who he kills for having pre-marital sex. There's no love in the action to him. 

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

No. He'll try something new for you. But he has his hard limits.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Although he's a powerhouse, he delivers so much emotion through his movements during lovemaking. He can last 2-3 good rounds before he's tapped out. He needs to emotionally recover.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Sex toys? He's neutral. It depends on what it's being used for. He likes using them on you more than on himself. With bondage (and other related items) , he would rather be on the receiving end.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He is not unfair! He'll give you what you want. He's a sucker for you 💕. 

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Moderately loud. He grunts a lot. Sometimes whimpers. 

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

You were teaching him how to tie knots one day with some colorful rope you ordered. His hands were used as a demonstration. After running through various techniques, you noticed his arousal poking out. That's when you both discovered he likes being tied up.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Anaconda. Not kidding. He's soda can thick, 10.5 inches long. He has a small curve to the left.

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

Low, on his own. You're the deciding factor on how high his sex drive is. He tries to match you.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Sometimes he will quickly fall into slumber after caring for you. Other times, he's energized by the session. So he'll go out and check the camp.

LONGTIME SECRETARY

The only ones who could fall in love with Tecchou (besides us, his fanbase) is someone who’s known him for a long, long time, inside out and realizes him for the silly boy he is. And let's say that someone is his secretary…

🌸O-kay, first to get down on how you both met. It's probably when Tecchou has just started his Hunting Dog career and they sort of realize…he doesn't exactly have the most conventional of habits and diet, so the higher ups decided he needed someone to keep him in check and perhaps tone down his more questionable tastes.

🌸That’s where you come in, hired as a “secretary” (because he's also probably horrible at paperwork) but you're more of a PA than anything. What else? Your job also requires you to ensure he doesn't consume anything too…uh…yeah

🌸How does Tecchou feel about this? A little confused as to why he needs someone following him around like this and maybe put out at how everyone doesn't understand why the food needs to be colour coordinated but you're actually super nice and apologetic when you have to replace his food with something more edible

🌸Actually, as time goes by, he gets even more enamored by you!

🌸You don't sigh in exasperation when he squats down to look at ants. In fact you just worry about whether crouching in that position is a good idea for long periods of time and so fetch him a chair or at least something to sit on. Sometimes you even watch ants with him! Tecchou’s more than happy to yap about them to someone other than Jouno, and you're actually such a better listener because Jouno thinks it's a waste of time

🌸You never rush him if he’s running late for a meeting or an appointment, or when he’s late from coming from one. He finds the feeling of you fussing (was he was stressed from all the back-to-back meetings? You could rearrange his schedule if he wanted; has he drunk enough water, was the surgery painful?) and taking off his coat for him…oddly sweet. Domestic is the word. He thinks he might be still woozy from the surgery because why else was he imagining a fantasy of where you both were married, you his precious spouse sending to him after a long day of work? So if course he says so!

(”You’d make a good spouse.”

Okay, out of all the out of context things Tecchou might’ve said this week, this one took the cake. You opened and shut your mouth, bewildered but…uh, complimented? “That’s…nice. Why the sudden…?”

“I just think you would.”

“Um, why?”

“You clean up after me a lot without any complaints. And you're good with food. You handle everybody the same way as well.” Tecchou frowns. “That sounds sexist. It's not what I meant.”

You're just a bright ray of sweet sunshine, he meant, in the storm of Hunting Dog work, making everybody's day with your signature smile, patience and helpfulness. Or maybe that's just him.

“Oh no, don't worry.” Your eyes soften. “I get what you mean…and thanks, Tecchou-san.”

“I think anyone will be lucky to marry you. You'd take care of them well. You're a really good secretary too.”

“Haha, let's not go to the topic of marriage yet…you've still got two meetings, remember?”

Tecchou's still thinking about other things though. “Huh. It's kinda like you're married to me then. Sometimes you do stuff for me even though you didn't need to.”

With that he strode off with those ridiculously long legs, leaving you gaping and wait, he had noticed all of that?!)

🌸You don't judge him for randomly doing push ups during meetings either. Obviously it took you a few times, always getting startled when you walk in to inform him of things and instead nearly trip over him before you finally got used to it. After a few more times, Tecchou even managed to convince you to sit or stand on his back - he'll deny it but he feels really…something he's not quite sure of when you reluctantly do it, but it's a good feeling! Like he's…proud? But of what?

🌸He was a bit put off by how you kept following him around whenever he went out to eat but after you sheepishly explained it was an important part of your job and didn’t really have a choice about it, Tecchou decided to just leave it be. Understandably he was confused as to why he couldn’t eat a hard boiled egg with the shell still on (it’s the most nutritious part, don’t you know?) but then you pointed out the egg whites could match a shade of white bread, giving him a more reasonable diet. The same goes for the fries he was going to eat with bananas, the matcha he was dumping on spinach noodles, the frog eggs you secretly replaced with chia seeds…let’s just say you managed to give him a more acceptable meal and nicely while you were at it, stunning the rest of the Hunting Dogs.

🌸Little did you know one of the reasons he actually agreed to these changes were so that he could share his food with you - he’d picked up on the fact you’d politely declined to some of his tastes, but not on that he had actually been subconsciously wanting to copy the couples who fed each other…until Tecchou attempted to spoon feed you.

(”Mphm!” Your head tilted back in surprise, the spoon your boss had just stuck into your mouth dangling from your lips. You pulled it out, startled and flustered. “Tecchou-san, what was that for?”

He blinked. “I thought you liked miso soup?”

“No, no, I do but…why’d you stick the spoon in my…mouth?” A reason popped into your mind and it made you extremely embarrassed. “Are…you trying to feed me?”

“Sorry, perhaps I aimed it wrong.” Tecchou gestured at the couple making goo-goo eyes at each other while sharing a bowl of ramen at the next booth happily, obliviously. “I saw them doing that-”

“Tecchou-san, that’s what couples do when they date.” You stifled a laugh. “I can feed myself, but thank you for trying. Maybe a little warning next time?”

“Oh. I thought friends did that as well.”

“We’re friends?” You pondered on it for a while - your relationship, while a little too friendly to be considered just boss and secretary, had never been fully defined before. But it was kind of nice. You broke into a smile. “If you say so.”

And though he was the one to call you both friends Tecchou didn’t recognize the ache to be something more growing in his chest.)

🌸Unbeknownst to Tecchou, he's starting to develop a crush on his cute, caring secretary and the signs are beginning to show - very obviously to his co-workers.

🌸It’s clear as day to Jouno, who can hear the very, very slight speeding up of Tecchou's heart rate whenever you show up. He also notices the insane amount of times Tecchou has managed to bring you up in conversation, even for the most mundane of instructions. Jouno might be blind, but it's not like he can't notice how Tecchou attempts to be funny with his broken, serious sense of humour for you.

(”Wait…I'm sorry, I didn't get the joke…? It's very unlike you to make a pun as well, Tecchou-san.”

“I read on Facebook what making jokes with colleagues will help improve relationships so I decided to give it a try.”

“That's very old of you to use Facebook, Tecchou,” Jouno butts in sarcastically.

“Thank you. Is it working?”

You snort. “It is on me, I fear.”)

🌸He's failing miserably, Jouno thinks, even though you laughed. It's very irritating to see Tecchou so distracted by some secretary, so of course Jouno is going to do his best to push them together otherwise he won't focus on missions!

🌸Tachihara notices it when one day Tecchou stopped stopping to stare at ants. Or if he did, it was more of carefully selecting several ants to stow away previously in a container with holes. Confused, he asks him about it - and Tecchou calmly replies that you said his looking at ants was a tad distracting to missions and the higher ups have requested you do something about it, so doing your best to accommodate both sides you got Tecchou an ant farm, which he was…”ant-napping those insects for?!”

🌸Tachihara wonders how Tecchou finds the time to take care of the farm but his fellow Hunting Dog informs him you help out a lot, which reminds him, he should probably take you out to dinner in return. Tachihara’s about to argue he's not exactly supposed to pay you like that until he remembers this is how the both of you are and concludes you must be dating in secret, leaving Tecchou a little bewildered as to why Tachihara told him to bring flowers and chocolates, but he takes the suggestion to heart (you're flattered. Flustered, but flattered).

🌸If asked Fukuchi will say he saw it coming from a mile away (he did not). He DID spot some signs: namely, how Tecchou was prone to constantly texting or calling or emailing or however it was youngsters these days messaged each other you when they were away from headquarters, sometimes for reasons not even work related, brings you up in conversations often, wants to know everyone's opinion on you and makes offhand comments on how good you like occasionally.

🌸But that's about it. Fukuchi did not see any budding romance mostly because he'd oblivious and he didn't think that would happen after you accidentally drank his soy sauce latte one day.

🌸Teruko’s doesn't give a rat’s ass about her subordinates relationships or who they hire or what they do but she'll make a special case for Tecchou: he's got terrible taste in food usually, so obviously she'll suddenly observe how he's eating a more socially acceptable palate and what's this she hears about Tecchou pining over his secretary?

🌸She corners him one day to demand answer because of totally work related reasons (Teruko wants the tea) and announces he and you MUST be in a secret relationship so you both better not be doing anything you're not supposed to in front of Fukuchi, keep the mushy stuff to yourself!

(Tecchou is about to correct her, not wanting you to get uncomfortable if what she says gets around, but realises he is…not opposed to the idea at all - apart from the Fukuchi part, he means. Teruko walks away triumphantly, believing his silence is a “yes”, not knowing it's actually because his brain is still processing the fact that he might just have a crush on you.)

🌸When does he fully come to terms that he's fallen in love with you though?

🌸Sorry pal, about several years later. He's the epitome of slow burn.

🌸Hey, at least when he does, every day becomes take-your-spouse-to-work-day and your pay rise comes in kisses~

hello hope ur doing well! could i possibly request writing prompt 1.6 with rusty asking danny if two people can be happy together forever bc rusty wants to ask his gf/reader to marry him ? i think it would be super cute ^.^ thank you!

Short story: The Big Question (Rusty Ryan)

Paring: Rusty Ryan x Ocean!Reader X Brother!Danny Ocean

Summary: Rusty wants to pop the big question, but part of him fears he still isn't right for her. He goes to Danny for some advice.

Prompt: 1.6) “I need to know if it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever.” - “in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are”

MasterList ML2

Rusty sat the bar bouncing his knee up and down nervously as he sipped his scotch. The more the thought about this life changing decisions, the more nervous he got. Danny knew where he would be hiding and went looking for him.

“figured I find you here” Danny took the seat next to Rusty. “what's eating you?”

Rusty tilted his head back and downed the rest of the drink before setting the glass down. The suddenly asks, “when did you know you wanted to marry Tess?”

Danny raised an eyebrow, not expecting thst questions and honesty he didn't know how to awnser right off the bat. The guy could be perfect match, but what man can honestly awnser that question right off the bat. Danny shrugged. “I don't know... I guess I just knew” Danny paused and nodded. “no, I knew with outta dought she was the one...of course it wasn't easy with her, but then again I wasn't either”

Rusty sighed and dug somthing out of his pocket then set it on the bar counter without a word. Danny looked down and it was a small, red velvet box. “oh, you bought a ring?”

“yeah...” Rusty said, letting out a airy chuckle.

“and your gonna ask her...”

“yep” Rusty quickly respond, popping the 'P' at the end. He fiddled with the box, not mentioning he's been carrying it in his pocket for a month and a half almost. He opened the box and showed Danny the beautiful ring. It wasn't overy extravagant, just how she liked it.

“pretty ring... You did a lot better than I did the first time around” Danny said, drinking the Scotch that was brought over to him by the bar tender.

“ya know, this is the first honest thing I ever bought? I don't know man, I couldn't bring myself to by it with the money we stole”

Danny chuckled. “hey, we worked hard for that money” Danny thought for a moment, wrinkled his eyebrows together in confusion as he turned his head back to Rusty. “okay... If you didn't use the money from the heist, where did you get it?”

“grandma's inharatens... That old bat still takin' care of me even when she's dead... Spent every last penny”

Danny picked up the box, looking at the Dimond ring. Not in a million year would he have expected Rusty to buy a ring, let alone buy a ring for his little sister. Looking back now Danny could see the signs he didn't see back then, at first he thought y/n just had a little crush and before he knew it Rusty and y/n pick him up from prison and tell him they are dating.

To this day the team doesn't know how it happened, it's kind of a inside joke now and if anybody asks the stories get more and more ridiculous. Then y/n and Rusty settled with just calling it 'the incident'.

Rusty took a deep breath “I need to know if it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever.”

Danny sighed and sat back in his chair, he thought about what he should say and shouldn't say. Then he thought about Tess and their past. “in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are”

“you and Tess got devorced once... What if that happens with me and y/n?” Rusty asked. “What if in the end my just not good for her?”

“well, you and y/n aren't me and Tess” Danny said matter of factly. “and falling down the 'I'm not good enough for her' hole is just pointless and suffocating”

Rusty went to open is mouth but Danny cut him off. “if you thought you weren't good enough you wouldn't have bought the damn ring” Rusty put his hands up in defense. “What if she says no?”

Danny snorted, that was the stupidest thing he's ever heard. “you both are glued to the hip... I think you'll be fine” Danny looked over at Rusty. “but if you do end up hurting her... I will kill you”

“I'm lucky I even got her, ya think I'm gonna screw that up?” Rusty smirked and shook his head. “no fucking way”

Rusty downed his drink. “you know what? Fuck it. I'm asking her tonight”

--------(1st pov)--------

“where are we going?” I asked as Rusty pulled me along the streets of Vegas. “you'll see” he smiled.

Rusty held my hand tight and pulled along untill we stop infront of the The Westgate Las Vegas Resort. He stoped infront of me and held both of my shoulders then looked up at the Westgate sign. “remember this place?”

I looked up at the building it was significant for a couple of reasons, one it's the place Elvis Presley preformed at for months, but also it was the place me and Rusty first met. “we met in this exact spot... Officially at least”

---(Flashback)---

Before they knew who each other were thay were just two people at a poker table. Y/n sat across from Rusty at the table, she was in red dress and a leather jacket. Covering her eyes was Elvis looking sunglasses so he couldn't see the thoughts in her eyes. She was cleaning everyone out except for rusty as the night went on each guy gave up with fire in their eyes and on a occasion sent a threat or two.

Rusty was impressed at how unbothrted she was. “rise you 400” she said. Even though there was no emotion in the way she said it, Rusty still thought it was the sweetest sound he ever heard.

“brave little thing, ain't ya?” Rusty smirked as he threw his poker chips in with hers. “brave, smart, whatever you want to call it” she responded.

“hmm...” Rusty smirked, he glanced at her then back down at his cards. A Royal flush was in his hands, he kept his poker face and waited with anticipation.

“straight flush” y/n smirked and set her cards down, she thought she had this in the bag. Rusty chuckled. “That's cute,” Rusty set his hand down, y/n's eyes bugged out and her heart dropped. “Royal Flush, I win Darlin'”

“Fuck” y/n groaned, her streek was broken and so was her bank. She rolled her eyes and threw about 1,000 dollars rolled up in a rubber band at Rusty. He smirked and put in his pocket, part of him felt bad for taking that much money from a lady.

“that was fun, you got skill” Rusty and y/n stood up at the same time and bumped into each other. His tall frame almost knocking her down. She grabed his waist out of instincted, not expecting to feel the sum of money she just lost. Rusty's hands fell to her hips to keep her steady. He could barely see her eyes behind the sunglasses and he wanted to see them so bad.

Y/n knew she had him distracted, she could tell just by looking into his eyes. Rusty smirked and looked down at her. “how about a drink? To make up for the poker losss”

Y/n chuckled sarcastically and shook her head. Rusty was enchanted by her, that laugh was the sweetest thing he's ever heard. He wanted to hear it again. Y/n smirked and slipped her hand into his jacket pocket with out him realizing it. “maybe next time” she smirked and walked past him, putting the money her leather jacket pocket.

As she left, Rusty stuck his hands in his pockets, his smile fell when he felt his pockets were now empty. “son of a bitch” he darted after.

He ran out of the poker room and saw her at the entrance of the Westgate. “hey!” he yelled after her, she looked over her shoulder and gave him a innocent smile and continued walking. Rusty ran after her, he moved around a bunch of people till eventually catching up with her at the entrance. Just as he grabed her shoulder he was on his back on the side walk outside of the building. He groaned as y/n walked past him, not giving up he quickly stood up and pushed her against the building.

“I think you have somthing of mine” Rusty said with a raised an eyebrow. Y/n rolled her eyes and kneed him in the crotch, not hard but enough to make him back away. She tried to make a run for it, but Rusty had her tackled to the ground. “I don't fight girls, but I will take what's mine”

Y/n quickly flipped them, she put her forearm into his neck, pinning him to the ground. “I can see why”

Rusty felt his skin heat up in frustration, he was about to push her off but he was scolded. “Rusty, what the hell?” it was Danny.

“Danny?” y/n looked suprised to her older brother. She pushed Rusty away, he let out an oof as she stood up.

“Danny?” Rusty groaned, standing up. Danny ignored rusty and turned to his sister. “What the hell are you doing? How many times do I have to tell you not to hastl poker games, to stay away from casinos”

Danny looked between Rusty and y/n, looking both confused and frustrated. “and why the hell are you two doing?”

“she started it” Rusty quickly said. Y/n rolled her eyes. “I lost 1000 to this jackass”

“a thousand?!” Danny did a double take, then to Rusty's suprise started scolding the girl. “see this is why you don't gamble, yes your good but you also don't know when to quit. Yeah you cleaned out the other idiots, but he comes along and you lose it all”

Y/n was about to say something, but Rusty cut her off. “wait a damn minute, how the hell do you two know each other”

“Rusty, this is my little sister Y/n... Y/n this is Rusty”

---(end Flashback)---

“we met here for the first time and even though you kicked my ass, I knew you were the one” he smirked. “and I don't care how fucking cheesy that sounds... I love you y/n Ocean”

His blue eyes stared into mine with nothing but love and admiration. He held her face in his hands and leaned down, kissing her softly then pulled away. “I love you too” I said softly.

“good because what I'm about to ask you is pretty big” his blue eyes stared into mine and he knelt to the ground with a red box in his hand. My heart pounded and I felt tears pricking my eyes. “Rusty...” I said softly, covering my mouth.

Rusty pulled the ring out. “What do ya say? Will you marry me?” I smiled big and immediately nodded. “Yes, you idiot. Of course I'll marry you”

Rusty eyes went wide, the biggest smile spreading across his face. Upon hearing my awnser, he nearly leapt up off the ground and practically tackled me with a tight hug, lifting me up into the air, and spinning me around in a circle.

He sat me down I slipped the ring on to my finger. “there, your stuck with me now” Rusty smirked.

“good” I smiled, I placed my hand on his jaw and kissed him lovingly. I had the man of my dreams and that's all that mattered.

[nogenderbee]

May I request Kaeya, Childe, Diluc, and Itto walking in on their s/o fawning over them and saying she wishes to marry them one day?

Of course! Honestly it's just a super cute idea and I may had a little bit too much fun with it~ But either way, I hope you will enjoy it <3

Kaeya, Childe, Diluc, Itto with reader fawning over them

TagList: @bleachtheidiot - come get your people~

⊱ and here everyone would know that Kaeya is the cheesy one~ I mean... he still is but now you're the one fawning over him

⊱ first couple of times you say it, you catch him off guard and actually get a small blush from him

⊱ although he's quick to cover his blush with some cheeky comment on that, it's of course worth it all

"Oh my~ It's seems that you can't get enough of me today~ Well no need to worry because now, you surely got all my attention!"

⊱ he really thought it was only one time situation and that it actually will never repeat ever again but oh boy... how wrong was he!

⊱ your fawning over him only got stronger as the time passed but he also started to get used to it

⊱ if you do it in public, he'll act all smug and you can see that it's a big ego boost for him, and he'll always make sweet little comment about how much you love him and all right in front of people

⊱ if you to it in private tho, he'll quickly turn his attention on you and proceed to hug you tightly and spoil you with as many hugs and kisses as he can offer to you at the moment

⊱ if he has something to do, he'll simply get you on his lap while finishing his work and also giving you some deserved affection

"Now there, I'm a little bust but I'm sure we can make it work either way!"

⊱ you could expect anything from Childe to be honest... but with right choice of words, surely you can make him flustered

⊱ first few times you compliment him, he got catched a little off guard and his face turned into light shade of red while he tried his best to not stutter while speaking

"Huh?! Ah well... t-thank you! Well don't worry because I plan on staying with you my whole life!"

⊱ but to be honest, even if that compliment turned him into a mess, he still loved it and it boosted his ego

⊱ when you do it more and more often, he quickly gets used to it and now his reaction on them is just simple kiss and some 'thank you's

⊱ but there is one small difference in his reaction depending on if you tell him that in public or in private

⊱ if you tell him that in public, he'll be more flustered but still will respond with kiss, just more gentle

⊱ if you're in private tho, be ready for him to trap you in his arms and shower your whole face with kisses and maybe even tease you a bit

"Hehehe! Thanks, darling~ I'm really the only men you can think of, aren't I? Well... it goes both ways~"

⊱ you might think that Diluc would get flustered so easily and as you're not fully wrong, it's not easy to see through him

⊱ so when you tell him your compliment for the first time, he only smiles gently and depending if you're in public or in private, he may hide his face under his hand

⊱ truth is, a slight, basically not seenable blush appears on his face but he doesn't have a slight problem in speaking without stuttering or mixing up words

"Thank you, love. I wish to spend me future with you as well. Actually, I even thought of it not long time ago. Would you like to discuss everything together right now?"

⊱ when it continues, he surprisingly doesn't get used to it but it gets him more and more with every time

⊱ if you do that in public, he'll blush and stutter way more than he would in public, so it's easy to say that he ends his conversations as quick as he can when those words leave your mouth

⊱ in private tho, he still gets all blushing and stutters a lot but this time you have big chances to see bottom Diluc as little spoon and all

"Ah... those words seem to always get me... tell me, how do you even do it, my love?"

⊱ you really expected Itto to act all confident so you quickly decided that you have to make your words even flirtier if you want to get him flustered

⊱ but it turns out that you don't even have to try this much and his reaction still will be as flustered as he could be

⊱ even tho he act all smug about it, it's easy to see his blushing face and hear his stuttering

"O-Of course you love THE Arataki Itto! Who w-wouldn't want to spend their whole life with me?!"

⊱ when you start doing it more often, he slowly gets used to it and takes it easier but it still always makes him flustered

⊱ if you do it in public, he'll turn into blushing mess and will just laugh in nervousness and will try his best to come off cool but well... he kinda fails at it...

⊱ it just seems that your words have so much influence on him that he can't hide his true feelings no matter how hard he tries

⊱ if you tell him all that only in private tho, you can be sure he'll give you a big teddy bear hug both: because he wants to and because he doesn't want you to see how red his face is

"Oh, c'mon just let's hug for a while! What? Me?! Nooo! Of course I'm not doing it to hide my blush! Hahaha! Ha... Well... maybe I do-"

Markkkkkk buddy heyyy could I request a Stephen Strange x Vampire!reader where the reader comes home from maybe a walk or a grocery trip and he’s just super sad and moody and so he just walks past Stephen and goes straight to their shared room and a little while later Stephen comes in with some tea to ask what’s wrong and the reader explains that he’s sad cause he realized that he’ll outlive Stephen and after a bit more back and forth Stephen suggests that the reader turns him so that they’ll be together forever and so he does 😋☝️

Great it's one of my least favorite mutuals. JK JK I'm only joking I love you and I hope you enjoy this @prismuffin!

STEPHEN STRANGE X VAMPIRE MALE READER

"Excuse me young man..."

A weak voice says to Y/n catching his attention. Y/n turns to the voice and a small smile slowly grows on Y/n's face.

It's an elderly couple looking at Y/n. "Yes?" Y/n says looking at the men. "Could we have that? You have the last one and my husband loves that brand. But he was a bit shy to ask."

Y/n eyes the item in his hand before handing it to the couple. "Of course y'all can have it." Y/n answers with a smile. "Oh thank you may god bless you son."

The elderly man takes it and hands it to his husband giving Y/n one more smile before heading off with his husband.

Y/n stands in the aisle in a train of thought. "Growing old together." Y/n says his words are slipping out while he thinks of Stephen. Y/n shakes his head before going back shopping.

After the vampire is done shopping he begins his walk home with way too much on his mind. Soon enough he begins to feel overwhelmed just by the thought of him staying young and Stephen being old and slowly dying.

Like the universe is playing games on the vampire he sees couples of all ages passing by him. Y/n stops when he hears someone say "I could never live without you."

Y/n covers his ears with a sigh picking up his pace walking home.

ONCE the vampire finally arrives home he feels like hes gonna collapse. Y/n puts the bags on the table fast before making his way to the bedroom ignoring his long-term boyfriend in the process.

The doctor watches his boyfriend go past him not even sparing him a glance. Stephen doesn't waste any time going to the kitchen and fixes tea for him and his boyfriend. Stephen goes to the fridge and gets a blood bag. When the tea is done Stephen pours some of the blood into Y/n's cup.

Stephen takes the bag back to where it belongs and picks up the tray of tea walking to the bedroom. The cloak opens the door for Stephen and flies back to Y/n's lap.

"Made you tea. Just the way you like it." Stephen says putting the tray on the edge of the bed getting in the bed next to Y/n. "What's wrong dear?" Stephen asks with full concern in his voice.

"I'm going to outlive you..."

Stephen stares at Y/n thinking before putting his hand on Y/n's head playing with his hair calming down Y/n a little. "Stephen we can't do any of the things that you mortals love. Like growing old together! or uhm- fuck... Like uhm going to see a sunset together and other human things." Y/n cracks with some tears falling out of his eyes.

"Y/n. You don't need to worry about doing those regular things. What me and you have right now is more perfect than seeing some dumb sunset."

"And technically we can grow old together just that your face and body won't show it unlike mine."

"What about death? You and me can't always be with one another. Eventually you're gonna die and i'm immortal. And I don't know if I can your death." Y/n asks quietly and is a bit shy to talk about this.

"You're scared of losing me?" The doctor asks getting a nod yes from his boyfriend. "So. Just turn me into a vampire." Stephen suggests like it was obvious. Y/n ponders for a bit looking at Stephen.

"We will be together forever. Better than marriage in my opinion if you ask me." "We can't even get married the government and almost everyone else thinks I'm dead." Y/n thinks a bit more before sitting up and stares at Stephen.

"Do you trust me?"

"Wouldn't be here if I didn't."

"You're such an ass Stephen." Y/n says back with a laugh not expecting anything else from his smart ass of a boyfriend.

Y/n kisses trails on Stephen's jaw going lower and kissing random spots on his boyfriends neck until he finds the vein. Y/n kisses the part and gives it a few licks.

"Y/n your turning me into a vampire not a---"

Stephen is cut off when Y/n's fangs dig deep inside his flesh. Stephen feels like pushing Y/n away, but like the cloak read his mind it wraps itself around Stephen holding him still. The doctor bites his lips trying to contain the noises of pain hes feeling.

Soon enough Stephen feels lifeless his body giving out laying its full weight on Y/n. Y/n pulls away looking at Stephens body before biting his own wrist ripping some skin off for blood to come out. The vampire moves his wrist Stephen's mouth.

Stephen immediately uses the strength he has left holding Y/n's arm still as he drinks the blood. Soon enough Stephen gets the strength back in his body and only some of his color back.

Y/n moves his arm away much to Stephens displeasure. "I know you're hungry. Lets go to the kitchen and give you a blood bag." Y/n has to carry Stephen to the kitchen putting him on the counter before he opens the fridge getting a blood bag to Stephen.

"I just remembered you're a doctor. More specifically a surgeon." Y/n says watching his boyfriend eat. "Maybe I should call you a baby bat." Y/n teases laughing when he imagines Stephen's first day back at the job now as a vampire.

"Can't wait to spend the rest every single day with you."

THE END

[beanghostprincess]

(tw shitty ass english) I JUST READ AN OLD POST ABOUT USOPP MAKING BEAD BRACELETS FOR SANJI, AND HAD A VISION OF USOPP HELPING SANJI (who is freaking the hell out) TO FIND A BEAD RING THAT HE MADE FOR HIM WHILE STANDING ON ONE KNEE, AND WHEN HE FINDS IT HE HANDS IT TO SANJI WITHOUT STANDING UP SO IT KINDA LOOKS LIKE USOPP IS PROPOSING AND SANJI GETS SUPER FLUSTERED AND THINKS ABOUT THAT MOMENT FOR LIKE A WEEK im delusional

NO BECAUSE YOU'RE SO FUCKING REAL FOR THIS I ADORE THIS SO MUCH QWJEBQJKBFJBFJEWBFJKWBF (<- crying shaking sobbing) (I am literally writing a fic with the prompt of that post and it makes me go INSANE).

And this is just so funny but so so sweet- Tbh, I always headcanon that Sanuso is already established when WCI happens, and right after WCI Sanji can't stop thinking about weddings and getting married. Whether it's in a positive way or just because he's still trying to forget his experience there--

So he won't stop thinking about it and he heavily considers marriage with Usopp because, I mean, after almost getting married by force and going through the worst time of his life, Sanji is starting to think about what he's going to do after finding the All Blue and the One Piece. And he knows that everything around them is going to change once they do find those, but there's this constant in every situation he imagines and it's that Usopp is always there.

So now I can't stop thinking about what you're saying: Usopp making a ring for Sanji just because (like seriously, there's not a deep, meaningful reason for that, he just makes it because he can and he thought Sanji would like it) and having to pick it up from the floor before giving it to him but it looks like a marriage proposal. Sanji freaks out so much his brain stops working. He's all red. He can't move. He's stuttering. Usopp doesn't know what he should do because he seriously thinks he has fucked up big time now. Sanji just takes the ring and runs to the kitchen without saying a word. I think Usopp wouldn't process what's going on until Nami says: "I'm not one to judge but perhaps it's a bit too soon for that?" and she points to Usopp's position and,, Okay, now Usopp is panicking too.

So he follows Sanji to the kitchen, trying to fix everything, and the first thing he sees is his boyfriend curling up on one of the chairs and staring at the ring. To which, of course, Usopp goes:

"I- I know what it looked like, but I was not- That was not what I was- It was all an accident so don't freak out-" / "I'm not freaking out" / "You kind of stormed off to the kitchen and you'll probably burn the ring if you look at it that much so, uh, maybe you are freaking ou-" / "I am not! Freanking out! I- I- It's not about you, love, my mind is just a mess ever since- Fuck. You know" / "I know... But I am not asking you to marry me. It was a misunderstanding. That's alright! We can forget this ever happened-" / "But what if- What if I don't want to?" / "Come again?" / "Not- Not right now but... But what if I did want to get married. Someday" / "You want to get married to me?" / "Is it that surprising? I thought it was obvious I wanted to get married" / "Yes! But not to me! I thought you'd end up with a pretty picture-perfect girl, not... Me?" / "That's dumb" / "Oh, okay, thank you? People have insecurities, you know?" / "No, I mean- It's dumb. I already had that girl and I don't think I've ever wanted to marry you more than when I was with her. Away from you... I missed you" / "I missed you too. But we don't have to get married now, so don't worry much about it, alright?" / "But would you?" / "Huh?" / "Marry me. If I- If we- If it ever happened. Would you?" / "Now, that's a dumb question".

And Sanji doesn't need Usopp to explain what he means by that because he already knows.

[thekatebridgerton]

Today on another episode of... oh you know the drill, I'm sleep deprived, I write aus at 3am, fall asleep without energy enough to keep writing, only to do it all over again next weekend. So for this week's episode:

Benophie meet the Robinsons au

So this kid Charlie suddenly lands in 12 year old orphaned Sophie's backyard, right around the time her father married Araminta, and for some reason Charlie claims that she is the only person who can help him fix the time machine that brought him there in the first place else his parents are going to kill him. And some evil villain is out to get him. So of course science kiddo Sophie agrees to help.

Except that while she tries fixing it, the time machine malfunctions again and sends 12 year old Sophie and 11 yo Charlie into the future.

The thing is that Charlie Bridgerton's entire family is currently all in his grandmother's estate for their annual game of pall mall.

And his family is... a lot to take in

Sophie's new friend has 7 eccentric aunts and uncles, plus their spouses, around 20 cousins ( Sophie really keeps loosing count of how many cousins Charlie has), then there's the unexpected visits from the sisters of his uncle's wives, with their respective husbands. Sophie counted one two, five Grandmothers having tea in the solar. And of course, Charlie's father, the artist Benedict Bridgerton, (who has got to be the most handsome man little Sophie has ever seen and Charlie's three younger siblings. )

They all think Sophie is some kind of school mate that Charlie has brought home and treat her so well that cute orphan Sophie starts wishing she could have a family like the Bridgertons, no matter how much Charlie says that's a bad idea because his mom definitely wouldn't like it, but once the Bridgertons find out that Charlie's friend is an orphan, of course they want to take her in.

Until Charlie's mom comes back home ready to scold her son for damaging her time machine and... little Sophie Beckett finds herself face to face with genius British scientist Sophie Bridgerton. Cue the chaos from the family realizing that Charlie brought his little mom to the future.

In the end when the evil corporation is defeated and the future time continuum is saved Sophie goes back to the past, ready to endure under Araminta until she can get an early emancipation and a scholarship to put all her effort into science and create a time Machine... and then she bumps into some slacker teenager painting the walls with graffiti and calling it art. Young Benedict is far from the wonderful man Sophie met in the future, but... she wants to stick to him and figure out how they ended up married in the future, worse, as her life keeps progressing and her friendship/ on and off art trade offs, with Ben keeps getting stronger trough the years, how can she hide the knowledge of who exactly is her in-laws future spouse.

Take for example Penelope from the journalism club, when Colin Bridgerton said he'd never date her, Sophie wanted to punch him and tell him he'd regret those words soon enough. She literally saw his adult version missing his wife just because Penelope went outside for air. And let's not mention Benedict's pompous older brother who always thinks he knows best, making plans to date Kate's sister right Infront of Sophie and Benedict. At that point Sophie was just opening a betting pool with grandma Danbury and calling it a day. Simon showing up one day and pretending to date Daphne was honestly the least weird part of Sophie's college years. When they got married, she was the least surprised, she knew!!

Francesca getting married to Michael's cousin? Since when? Sophie was convinced Michael was Fran's husband in the future, she didn't know about any John...wait ..wait oh no

And let's not get started with super feminist ' I don't need a man I'll never get married afraid of children ' Eloise, little Sophie was almost adopted into the Bridgerton family because adult Eloise was an avid children's rights advocate with a husband who believed in adopting orphans left and right. To find out that Eloise, the star step mom who was all about healing Sophie's trauma, used to be some surly angry highschool rebel, really had Sophie wondering if Eloise had a nicer secret twin.

And all the while in which Sophie is going with the flow keeping up with the Bridgertons and helping them out into becoming the happily weird and chaotic family she knows they can be. She ends up not noticing that ex graffiti artist, turned gallery owner Benedict is really into her. Mostly because Sophie knows herself as his wife or rather his future wife. And he keeps asking her to be his friend with benefits so she automatically thinks he's joking and doesn't pay him attention whenever he DMs her a horny come hither.

Benedict's family on the other hand who already love Sophie, keep telling him that a genius inventor like Sophie will never take him seriously unless he's ready to give her something solid to rely on. Instead of being a shameless tease, he should be a man and ask her out for real. But Benedict hesitates because Sophie already looks like she's been inlove with someone since forever. What he doesn't know is that he's actually jealous of himself, or rather, jealous of the man he'll be in the future, who Sophie met when she was 12.

What a complicated mess.

[transbunnyboi]

Well, wet dream come true am I right? Eh? FUCKING HELL I FUCKING KNEW ITTT WTFFF. You were being so obviously interested in him and he was doing the same, we just didn’t wanna be too forward yknow 👉👈 but anyway, get that dick bunbun 👹

Alsooo I really wanna spill tea too soooo

I have this friend, we bonded over role playing and her shitty relationship with her ex andddd turns out she likes me🫠 anddddd I’d also liked her for a while- butbutbutbutttttt we’re in two different continentssss andddd I can’t an explain how I feel for her but I love her sooooo much and like, what if we have a horrible breakup? I couldn’t live without her. I’m being so fr rn😖 Today would make it one year since our first text with each other, and she sorta confessed last night.

It was so funny, I wanted to flirt so I asked for a tmi or sumn and she says she imagines what it would be like if she got with any of her friends and she got embarrassed then she got emotional and I got emotional (we’re both on our periods, party) and she was being very conflicted and didn’t want to say it directly because she didn’t want to believe she wanted to have romantic feelings for me (she’s bi dw, no internalised homophobia here✨). At a point she wanted to try to not feel like she was dependent on me so she STOPPED TEXTING ME GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD MORNING 😭 Horrible times, we survived thankfully. But yeah she was scared I’d act differently because I know of her little shenanigans but I couldn’t care less, I like her too, but I believe it goes deeper than that yknow?

Ohhhhh so I pretty much wanted her to like tell me the colour of her socks, that type of tmi😂 and I correctly guessed her sock colour🤭 I’m a telepathic puppy too! 👉👈 But she’s so prettyyyy, and tall (like 6’1), and smart (she’s studying English to become a teacher, like you!) , and her hair is so pretty and longggg (ginger, waist length) and she has the prettiest blue eyes and she’s so babygirl 😖 sigh, I’m a simp.

[ciaossu-imagines]

So, for the reader appreciation day of the event, I used the first personalization prompt for the lovely @softnightwhisp! Even when I get busy and forget to reply to dm’s for months on end, she’s still wonderfully supportive, reblogging my posts, sending asks, and helps keep me inspired to write! Hopefully these little personalized prompts (this one is set in the KHR universe) will be something she enjoys and will be a bit of a thank you 😊

Personalization Prompt #1 – Whisp

Siblings: None – canon or non-canon. You’re an only child, though you adopt ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ of sorts within your found family and within the work you do.

Best friend: Chrome, Ken, Fran, Chikusa, M.M., and Mukuro…they go beyond just friends to you and are your family, your safe and warm place to return to no matter what. Frenemies/Enemies: Because of your affiliation with the Kokuyo Gang, Hibari isn’t the fondest of you. The two of you aren’t hostile or anything and you certainly don’t pick fights with him or anything. He just doesn’t like the people you adore and thus there’s a cool indifference between the two of you. Crushes on You: I definitely see Ken having developed a crush on you during his later teen years. However, the feelings weren’t returned and though it took him a little bit to get over his feelings, which led to some awkwardness between the two of you for a while, in the end, your friendship with him didn’t suffer because of it and the two of you are very close as adults. First Romantic Relationship: I do believe your first romantic relationship was with Mukuro. There’d been some feelings on your side for a while and the two of you dated for about five years. However, the relationship just wasn’t solid enough to survive the test of time and the romantic love faded into something akin to just life companions. Because of this, the two of you did break up, but you both do agree that you are people that the other one’s life wouldn’t be complete without and there are no hard feelings regarding the previous romantic relationship. Lost Virginity To: Mukuro Married/In A Committed Relationship With: After your relationship with Mukuro, I believe you dated a couple other people, including Byakuran there for a time. You’re in no serious rush to settle into anything super-committed though and I think you just enjoy your life for a bit before eventually settling down into a relationship (there are so many options I could see you working with that who you settle down with is currently undecided.) Cockblocked by: Ken and Fran are both horrible for this. They’re both people who just tend to barge in on people, because they kind of feel a little entitled to other’s time and attention, especially if that person is someone they care about, and they never stop to think about what you might be in the middle of. Affiliation: The Kokuyo Gang

Special Abilities: I know it’s an unpopular opinion, because ‘oh, Sky Flames always need to be the boss of a Family or something’, but nonetheless, I do heavily see you as having Sky Flames. They’re not as pure and strong as say, Tsuna’s Vongola Sky flames, but they are decent enough as far as purity goes, though you do your best not to physically fight anyone anyway.

5 Headcanons About Your Life:

You initially met Chikusa, Ken, and Mukuro when you were all children. They had just escaped from the Estraneo and you being the kind child you were, you took an interest in these poor children, playing with them, sharing your snacks with them, and such. They pop in and out of your life after that initial meeting and befriending them, mostly out after they were captured by the Vindice. However, they returned shortly before they set out to go to Kokuyo Land. They sought you out for a safe place to hide from the Vindice, not letting you know that, of course, while they got their plan all straightened out. When they decided to go to Japan, you somehow ended up going along with them.

As with anyone who is in that little group of his, yes, Mukuro has cut you with his trident and yes, he can possess you and use your body if he so desires. However, it’s not something he often does, as your body is not well suited to his soul and isn’t exceptionally physically strong, though he has done it on a couple of occasions. On one occasion, it was done solely to protect and save you and that’s something you have never forgotten and part of why you’re so loyal to him – because you do know he truly cares.

The Kokuyo do make use of your keen insight into people and how easy people find you to be to talk to. You are useful in gathering information or in noticing things that they would not. However, how easy it is to divulge secrets to you and how supportive and soothing you are? It also comes in useful for these bunch of traumatized people and you often find yourself playing secret keeper/counselor/mental health support, especially for people like Ken, M.M., and Chrome. The only ones who have never fully opened up to you about their inner worlds are Chikusa and Mukuro, who have developed very thick, almost impenetrable walls throughout the years.

Though you are the closest to the Kokuyo Gang, I do see you befriending the other characters as well. You do get close to Tsuna and his family, particularly Tsuna and Yamamoto, who become good friends of yours. You get closer to Kyoko and Haru too, especially once Chrome becomes so close to them. On top of that, kids naturally kind of take to you and I-Pin and Lambo have definitely begged for you to go and play with them more than a time or two.

As said, after the end of your relationship with Mukuro, I do believe you do have fun dating without rushing into anything, and I see Byakuran and Gokudera as both being people you do date for varying lengths of time. Gokudera and you end up being really quite close and he starts to open up to you more, so even if the relationship with him is a ‘maybe it works out, maybe it doesn’t’, he’s someone who really does start to trust and respect you and the two of you will become very close friends either way.

What are your top 10 virginity loss scenes in romance?

Hahahahaha

Well, I already mentioned Greer losing her virginity to Embry in American Queen by Sierra Simone (fun fact: Embry is the only one of the triad you don't see in a virginity loss moment; like, you see the first time Ash has sex with a woman, you even see his first srs bsns sexual encounter with a man and he technically... has both of his first experiences with penetrative sex with a man with Embry? Embry is out there popping everyone's cherry in that series). I really find Greer and Embry's sexual dynamic so fascinating in that series because it's often more off the cuff and less "sceney" than then sex they both have with Ash? Like, Greer and Embry do scenes together, but the first time Greer has sex of any kind with Ash it's this very choreographed thing because he is so conscious of her consent and like, being able to get heavy with her without violating her... Whereas when Greer loses it to Embry years before, they're both super fucked up about Ash and he's like, taking full ownership of her, and it's this crucial moment where she realizes like "oh, I can have this intense connection with someone other than Ash".

I also really love that she does the thing where she doesn't tell him she's a virgin until he puts it in and whereas in like every other book I've read the guy is like "OMG NO I HAVE SOILED THEE I SHALL STOP" even if the heroine wants them to keep going... In that scene she's like "but keep going" and he just. Goes for it WHOLEHEARTEDLY lol.

Anyway. Others include:

--Auden losing his virginity to St. Sebastian in Feast of Sparks by Sierra Simone, after a ritualistic antler woodland chase (honorable mention: every other virginity loss scene in Thornchapel)

and I can't include another Sierra Simone scene but I'm gonna be real Mark deflowers both Tristan and Isolde with APLOMB

--Sebastian and Evie in Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas. I just really love Evie's whole "I am in a well and there is a beautiful water sprite gently touching me" and wakes up to Sebastian like. Fully going down on her. Being all "well fuck you sure are hard to wake up". All ending in him looking down in horror at her because he a) enjoyed it way too much and b) came inside her by accident, before staggering over to like, splash his face with cold water and be all "GET IT TOGETHER MAN".

--When the Duke Was Wicked by Lorraine Heath. Both the first time Lovingdon and Grace have any kind of sex (say it with me: RUM ON LIPS) and the actual penetrative sex scene. Lorraine doesn't write super detailed sex scenes, but they're always sooooo romantic and when she knocks it out of the park so erotic in a very emotional way. That scene has a lot of factors that make it so incredible; it's these two people who've known each other for forever having sex, he's so tender with her, spoilery things that make it even more emotional, and of course, him being like "marry me even though I can't love" immediately after, her standing there naked with the blanket around her and kicking him outta her room, him being all "I'M GONNA TELL YOUR DAD THEN", telling her dad, and her dad going "lmao fuck you go fix shit with my daughter yourself" because Sterling is a fucking boss.

--Isabel and Winter in Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt. I love a virgin hero with an experienced heroine, and because this is Hoyt, it's so unhinged lmao. Like. They're in a moving carriage, it's really the first time they both admit she knows it's him under the mask, she's in his lap, she kinda hesitates because she knows it's a big deal to him, he goes "JUST DO IT", they fuck real fast, and then he stumbles out of the carriage immediately after to go face possible death. And Isabel is left with his cum dripping out of her in the carriage like "well what the fuck am I even doing with my life".

--Neomi and Conrad in Dark Needs at Night's Edge by Kresley Cole, because IAD gets one hero virginity loss scene and one heroine virginity loss scene from me. This one is so sweet though because Neomi is super experienced and they're in the midst of this intense "BRIDE BRIDE BRIDE" haze that Kresley's vampires get into, and she literally is like "you're too amped up, go take a walk in the swamp", and he DOES and then he comes back and still basically comes from humping her leg like a dog. Not the last Kresley hero to do that! And he's so EMBARRASSED and she's like "it'll be fine we'll try 5-6 times tonight and eventually you'll figure it out" (Neomi is my FAVORITE) Only for her to crash immediately after, wake up, and promptly deflower him. It's both insane and SO SWEET.

--Lothaire and Ellie in Lothaire by Kresley Cole. THE ICONICITY OF THIS SCENE. Lothaire being like "we can't have sex because I will pop you LIKE A GRAPE"??? Ellie going "well I would like to anyway" and bugging him about it for approximately ten minutes before he relents??? Neither one of them admitting they're in love but also being super hype about it??? Her saying she's going to ride him like a lazy horse or something and him being like "my god, I never know what her hick language means, but I'm into it". His leg jogging while he waits for her to hop on it because he's NERVOUS???? ABOUT PLEASING HER??? And then when they really get into it and he's like "TELL ME YOU LOVE ME" because he's a fucking loser and her inner monologue going "oh we absolutely are not gonna give him that power nope".

It is. Perfection.

--Ilya and Shane in Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. I'm don't... think either of them are actually virgins. Ilya definitely isn't, and it's kinda vague with Shane because he alludes to like, having sex with women but it seems uniquely not into it, so in a lot of ways this reads as a virginity loss. And it's super tender and sweet and also quite horny, and they don't even really know each other at all? Which I love. Also, Shane almost having an anxiety attack during because he's like "what if we get STUCK this way". God. Love it.

--Soren and Nora in The Saint by Tiffany Reisz. Look, I'm not saying it.... a morally awesome relationship. It's not! But you build through the entire book for this big scene, and like, Soren does this entire dorky ass thing where he's like "Pick a number" and Nora always picks the highest number and finds out what the number is for after, and she thinks she's getting five orgasms or something and then he's all "actually, it's five weeks until I finally take your virginity lmao". It's fucking insane lmao. It's ridiculous. It's honestly a pretty brutal virginity loss scene because it's him. But again, by this point, if you're into Nora and Soren, this is like. Such a satisfying scene.

--Hester and Galen in Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. I mean, Beverly doesn't write super explicit sex scenes, but the slow burn is sooooo good. You just wait forever for it to happen, and he's such a rake but he's so in love with her, and it really feels like this moment where she's finally indulging her true desires. God. It's so good. He woooorships her.

Know No Fear 2

and we're back with my boy Thiel rip Thiel he tried to justify himself with his captain. it did not work. skjdfhlsdf he's been waiting for three hours and the MOMENT he goes to touch the fancy weapons collection is when someone else shows up, what a mood

welp. Thiel figures he's in about as much trouble as it's possible to be in. in which case…time to practice swordfighting and looking cool with all the fancy weapons around here that he'll never be able to touch again i am reminded of why i love Thiel

Look, Ventanus, they call it a speeder, not a slower

okay so, these two later get established as being married i'm going "huh??"

this doesn't read like he knows her super well

okay i take it back he's definitely wife guy and they're definitely close

thousand sons: am i a joke to you

it's the little bits of horror that get you

lorgar is hilarious i love this guilliman: yeah we have a slight delay of scrapcode that came from outside lorgar: HDU ACCUSE US AFTER EVERYTHING WEVE BEEN THROUGH I AM SHOCKED AND HURT AT THIS HDU HUMILIATE MY WORD BEARERS they talk it out and lmaoooo

just cackling here OHOHOHO IM SURE THEY WILL BE PUT TO REST i love dramatic irony a normal amount

we're back to Thiel who FELL ASLEEP and of course that's when Guilliman comes in the room

Thiel is EXTREMELY relatable sdlkjfshdlf GUILLIMAN COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIEL and only came in here to think

incredible thiel: it's fine, i'm a minor detail guilliman: There is no such thing as a minor detail and then guilliman goes into thinking about Lorgar out loud Thiel: ???? ok

LET HIM SPEAK

oh, thiel BUT THE NEXT LINE

the beginning of a beautiful friendship XD and then he just leaves thiel there and is like "ok i'll deal with you later"

okay you know what fair's fair this is a good line good couple of lines abnett can sometimes write okay the logistics are bothering me again

well for one ISSTVAN III WAS VIRUS BOMBED then fire bombed how many space marines were there even to harvest Isstvan V though, no objections on that front except WHAT is the timeline here the word bearers had chaos plot holes on their side to organize this whole thing

okay, creepy

erebus, can you be normal about being a dark apostle of the ruinous powers for once in your life i am now 104 pages into a 414 page book and it still keeps drawing out the time before the attack it keeps ominously ending scenes without anything happening just people feeling ominous or the narration making ominous statements or a word bearer saying something ominous OKAY FINALLY

also im finding it fun that the ship the word bearers took over to use as their attack vector is called the Campanile bell tower

current death toll: probably a hair less than a hundred thousand in 1s THE POWER OF THROWING A SHIP AT A BUNCH OF OTHER SHIPS okay this was good

okay for all i complained about the slow pace earlier, i really do like how the whole initial explosion is structured, from a writing perspective it's very cinematic (positive) i say positive because it's not actually trying to be a movie, it's a book that unfolds in a cinematic manner another winner

from what I've seen so far, Know No Fear might be Abnett's best book and I don't mean that as a backhanded compliment like Haley, he had a serious level up from writing Horus Rising though I think Horus Rising had better writing than Valedor tbh

okay this is actually cooler on reread because the whole purpose of this is to basically use Calth's sun up and kill it in order to create the Ruinstorm oh of course the first one to initiate ship to ship combat is Kor Phaeron aw yeah the skitarii dude i remember him being cool also the scene with Hesst dying in Tawren's arms hits even harder knowing that they're married

also, guilliman managing the chaos and putting things together is very cool everyone's freaking out and he's just sitting there listening and reading all the data

he does kind of hammer things in but I think it actually works here probably because there's a lot of different plot threads and POVs going on and yet it doesn't drag and they all feel equally important that's some writing chops it's because it's very much a story about a disaster and how people respond to it the disaster is in fact the main character

also it doesn't get too dark, either, despite all the horror and that in the end the bad guys win, kind of well, they achieve their objective but that doesn't mean that what all the characters do doesn't matter

WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT COOKED HUMAN FAT what is with chaos side and this can we not but also it's funny to me that this is used to summon Kor Phaeron

okay our death count is now in the millions rip the southern hemisphere

at least there isn't any onscreen cannibalism

okay so Guilliman had this message on repeat beseeching Lorgar to talk and stop firing except now things are becoming clearer so, well

Crazy in Love

Mia walks down the halls checking her patients are stable. She smiles as she sets her clipboard down and let’s out a sigh of relief I think I’m gonna head home and enjoy a nice hot bath She felt a pair arms around her she smiles as she feels the muscular chest against her

“Hi beautiful”

Mia turns around and faces Bryce “Hi what are you doing here I thought you left”

“I was waiting for you to finish up now that I’ve got you alone”

“And what are you planning to do with me?”

Bryce chuckles then smirks “Well I was hoping I can take you out then take you home and make you come all night long” His hand goes under her skirt and between her legs she let’s out a soft moan “Doesn’t that sound fun?”

“Mmm yes but can we have dinner at my place?”

Bryce smirks “Oh I see you want to head straight to the fun part”

Mia giggles “But food first I’m starved”

Bryce chuckles “Of course but let me make it”

“Thank you Bryce you sure you don’t want me to”

“Ah ah ah nope you sit there and I’ll make dinner you rest up”

Mia smiles as he rolls up his sleeves and continues to make dinner after an hour he comes back into the living room and reaches with his hand “Shall we?”

“No no no this is not me breaking up with you” He pushes his chair away from the table and gets down one knee pulling out a ring box from behind his back “I want you to move in as my wife please Mia say that you’ll marry me”

Mia smiles widely “Yes Bryce I will”

Bryce slips the ring on her finger then kisses her deeply “I love you so much”

“I love you too”

Bryce quickly stands “Now that dinners all finished let’s go”

“Where are we going? Aren’t we gonna celebrate our engagement?” She gives him a flirty smile “I was thinking in the bedroom”

Bryce groans as he grabs both her hands “Baby stop tempting me or we’re gonna miss flight”

“What flight?”

“We’re going to Vegas to get married”

“We are? But Bryce I’ve always dreamed about a wedding standing in front of my friends and family and what would our parents say?”

Bryce smiles “I told you I want to move in with my wife right and I already cleared this with them when we come back I’ll make sure you’ll have the wedding of your dreams”

Mia grins “Ok but I need to pack real quickly I can’t go to Vegas naked!” Bryce laughs as she dashes into her bedroom then comes back with a suitcase “What about your stuff?”

“Already in my car” He pulls the door open “Now come on babe our Uber is waiting for us”

Mia laughs “I can’t believe we’re doing this we must be crazy”

“Crazy in love baby now let’s go!”
