#thank u for asking this sweet dilly !!!

[seiwas]

and for your other game, k + r + z, if i may ask so humbly of you, my dear !! i have warmed up croissants for us both, along with some delicious coffee / tea 💝🥐☕️ !!

how sweet of you sweet dilly!! bringing warmed up croissants and drinks for us when it should be me treating you!!! 🥺 and of course you may ask!! thank you so much for keeping me company on this brunch / midnight snack ! 💗

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

oh dear angst 😭 i think ex!bakugo might be the angstiest one i've come up with so far!! (which is currently being developed!! it's the next long fic i plan to finish) i like me a good hurt/comfort but when it's just hurt no comfort 😖 i'm weak !! my heart can never take it !!!

Z: Major character death–do you ever write/read it? Is there a character whose death you can’t tolerate?

i can only really read a major character death if it's canon, and even then it's really hard for me to!! my heart really can't take it!! like i know the writing's gonna be good but i just... i'd be a complETE MESS. like. unable to recover 😭 i've written mentions of character deaths but not during... the process... of it... i cannot tolerate... anyone's death i think... 😭 my loves must stay alive with me... 😭

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

yes so many fanfic writers i adore!! for col especially, i mentioned @seravphs and @augustinewrites as being main influences for the way i chose to write gojo!! i think i base it more on their versions of characters (bc characterisation is big for me!) than other things like writing style etc. other influences i have are: for gojo --- @/saetoru (bc of rb!gojo), @/hawnks; for bakugo --- @/willowser, @/ofmermaidstories, @/bakughosts

those are just off the top of my head!! and writers i am silently admiring from afar :') i'm sure the influences will change for every version of each character i plan to write though !

i associate my mutuals w their very distinct ways of writing our faves too!! (lowkey appreciation post ahead!!)

@stellamancer - for expert dialogue n banter between reader and gojo (unnamed fic verse) i go thru niku's stuff so quick bc the conversations flow so well!!!

@seravphs (alr mentioned sera) - for teen dad!gojo but also recently knight!gojo (my god... everything abt it is just... UGH)

@crysugu - for papa!gojo 🥺 and the most devoted nanami i have ever seen in cariño; my sweet dilly is the intimacy queen!!!

@strawberrystepmom - for semi-established gojo x reader!! kendall drops another piece in this universe and u can catch me SCRAMBLINGGG TO READDD (she also converted me into a natsuo fucker fml......) kendall's really good at immersing u in her stuff!!

@satoruhour - dad!gojo too 🥺 whether to own kids or megumi/tsumiki !! i have yet to go thru all of t's stuff but every time she posts abt gojo i go into gojo brainrot 😣

@kentoangel - for nanami but especially bodyguard nanami 😣 he lives in my mind!!! whenever roma talks abt nanami i melt inside!! and lately even the choso posts r getting to me 😭

@soumies - for angst. somi breaks my heart. she wrote a gojo angst series and it ruined me. and she wrote an iwa angst drabble and it wrecked me too.

@augustinewrites (alr mentioned augustine) - for keeping up with the fushigojos ofc!! and her iwa stuff too!!! (i love anyone who loves him!!) 😭💗

@vagabond-umlaut - for twin dad!gojo!! the twins!!! my heart melts with this series by kit!!

@gardenofnoah - for the works of hers that i've read so far and just been floored by (there's a bakugo one and a todoroki one, and a nanami drabble!) they're all different from one another but bea writes so so so beautifully, i fear going thru her masterlist (but i'll still do it!!!) bc i know it'll break my heart just to mend it back up!!!

@c4ssiopeias - for that heart-wrenching ex!bakugo fic that ripped my heart up!! haven't gone through nova's masterlist yet but her writing is so so painfully raw!!

@treasuringizu - for an atsumu i'll fall in love with always!!!! kc writes him so hNGh-ly i wanna squish him and punch him and kiss him all at the same time!!!

☕♡🍞 brunch chats or a midnight snack! ☕♡🍞 pick from any of these ask games: 1 | 2 | 3 and let’s talkkkk!!

[celcero]

I think it's only fair if i also give you my tier list

Half joking, here's my actual rankings

MAI'S OBEY ME RANKINGS (L65)

The Demon Brothers!! :

Levi (i was about to put beel but then again, i feel connected w him so it adds up points)

Beel (no doubt one of the best brothers, i love him since i first saw him, he's so cute i want to feed him just to see the face he makes when he eats)

Belphie (another one of my kins. i think i like him because he's a younger brother? Like as an oldest sister, it's an instinct to have the urge to spoil him and baby him, HE'S JUST SO ADORABLE 10/10 would ask to kill me again)

Satan (he's my first love in obm, he's charming i will give him that)

Asmo (not much comment for him!! He's okay)

L*cifer (i'll spare him this once just bc he's a good brother. But thats it. I still hate him. ANTI LUCIFER LEAGUE RULES!!)

M*mmon (no.)

The Dateables!! :

Simeon ( no doubt no doubt my number one, he's etheral and words cant describe how much i love this man and i would thank you for everything he does)

Barbatos ( I LOVE HIM HE REMINDS ME OF KITA AND I WOULD GIGGLE AT THE THOUGHT, he's also so perfect LIKE HHH i cant wait to get to lesson 71 bc i KNOW he calls MC darling there, also i really love him for ALWAYS coming home to me)

Luke (MY BABY!! MY SWEETHEART!! MY SON!! ID HUG HIM, PICK HIM UP, AND SPIN HIM AROUND, SPOIL HIM WITH SWEETS AND SQUISH HIS CHEEKS)

Thirteen (she's a woman. End of explanation.)

Diavolo (he's really handsome like really id stare at him all day and like he's so handsome and id give him a hug also did i mention how handsome he is?)

Raphael (hnnghghhn)

7. Solomon (his cards are always pretty and sexy i'll give him that, i need to know him more if u want me to actually like him)

8. Mephistopeles (He's sexy!! But i still dont know him enough to like him)

End of rankings

ok listen… WHY DO U HATE MY FAVS?? WHY IS MAMMON A NO??? ANTI LUCIFER??? seriously,,, why must u do this to me. if i start to like levi (even if it’s fake),,, will u love my favs in return? a bargain; a deal; a pact.

your rankings for the datables is valid tho… solomon deserves to be higher but i digress. i also love luke with all my heart… and it’s literally bc his bday is a day before mine. perhaps i shall kin the child… in the softest way possible??

also dilly if u see this look away… it’s a secret that can wreck our marriage but belphie issss wayyyy too high!! he deserves a low spot. a low low spot !!!

[dillymx]

Hi baby~ 💜 Can I just have an imagine with Changkyun? His s/o don't wanna go to work because she doesn't like it, but she need the money to survive and pay the rent? Pretty plssssss? It's my life 24/7 :) Anyways, thank you so much 😝💞

NIGHT LIFE : C H A N G K Y U N

﹅ when you can’t bare the night without him ; sweet sin and bittersweet kisses. his arms around you, holding you tight. you can’t let go. but neither can he, baby.

You can’t bare the night without him; those firm arms wrapped tight around you. You can’t ignore the dark little whispers. “I know you want to stay, baby...” the tease that edge on the tip of his tongue. He’s addicting. Full of sweet sin and painful rapture.

Changkyun has you in his clutches again. It happens and it continues. Over and over until you’re at an edge, hanging off a cliff’s peak until your falling and falling, then spiraling down and diving into him. All till he has you in his arms; it happens.

“Shouldn’t you be out?” His breath is hot against your lips. His words released into a long exhale till their eaten by the sound of his lips capturing yours. He doesn’t want you to leave either but Changkyun would rather be damned before he succumbed to his needy desperation for you and admit it out loud; don’t go...the passion increases. His lips never leaving yours as he pushes all his silent pleas into you, holding you tight. Stay with me, baby. Please...

The clock ticks and its already 7pm. You ask yourself, where did all the time go? “I don’t want to leave...” you whispered into the dark. You feel his lips twisting into a smirk, his mouth crashing back down on yours. Changkyun’s head falls back onto a mess of pillows and your hands reach out for him in a heat of rushed fever. As your body topped his, changkyun’s hands are grabbing your waist holding you down against him; it happens over and over again.

I don’t want you to leave either, Princess...

He had half the mind to deny you. To push you off of him and urge you to work. But Changkyun is devious, all he wants to do is hold you tight and drag you down in damnation along with him. Something hot burns within him. He wants you. Needs you to stay.

...Though

Despite his need, the passion and pleasure. Changkyun is benignant. He loves you too much to bring you down so far. It’d be wrong. so wrong to destroy an angel like you. Even though he already has; because what is an angel like you doing with the devil that is him? This devil has heart however. Heart for you.

“We have to go, baby.” He breaks away from you, dark eyes meeting yours with sweet iron resolve almost challenging you against him. He’s teasing you. Always teasing you. You sigh with a sulk and he allows himself to chuckle. It’s sweet torture; you.

Raising a hand to brush away a few stray hairs from your face, Changkyun admires you under the light of Seoul’s night life. Georgeous. So tempting even when he has to let you go.

“Changkyun...I don’t want to go.” Your forehead pressed unto his, arms wrapping around his waist and holding him down; don’t go. Now it’s his turn to sigh. Grasping your face in his hands, holding you gentle, “I don’t want to go either, love.” He admits it. I want to stay; let’s get lost in this dream.

“But we’re gonna both starve if we don’t.” He smirked and deflated. You finally cracked, allowing yourself to smile. “Worse yet, end up on the streets.” He nudged your nose with his, affectionately. Mischief glints in your softening eyes.

“We’ll be on the streets together though.” You quirked an eyebrow and smiled. So cheeky. He rolls his eyes.

“Yes but I’d rather not be on the streets either way.” Changkyun leans forward to peak you on the lips. He wonders how you make him like this. He truly does. Only you can consume his bittersweet heart and coat it with the sweetest honey. Only you know how to awake this feeling in him. Something he can’t describe.

Love

“I love you.” He whispers after you as you fade away, bleeding into the night life...

MASTERLIST

[akiseyu]

Prompt Day 4: Confessions/Missed Opportunities Because I got the days mixed up, I resorted to writing again. This time, it’s a tad longer than the first one. I should really get the time to sit and actually process what I was writing (because I didn’t, haha).

Under the cut, as usual!

--------

“—It looks like our Champion will still keep her spot this season!”

 Inside the Wedgehurst laboratory, the telly blared Gloria’s match as Hop ignored the piles of notes about Pokémon habitats. He focused onto the screen to see her wave at the camera with a smile.

 “Fifth year in a row,” Sonia commented, approaching Hop with two cups of tea. “Gloria’s unstoppable.”

 He dreamily smiled back at the telly. “Yeah, she is.” He didn’t notice the professor handing him a cup until he felt it touch his cheek. Immediately, he snapped back to reality. “Ack, Prof, that’s hot!”

 Sonia snickered. “I don’t mind you taking a break from work, but you looking at the screen as if you want to teleport to Wyndon seems a tad corcerning.” She finally placed the cup on the desk. “Aren’t you going to see her today?”

 He was supposed to, like he always did every end of the Gym Challenge season, but— “I do have a deadline this week, and Professor Birch wanted me to submit—”

 “Ah, ah,” she interrupted him, “you’re almost done anyway. I’ll deal with Professor Birch when he calls; you go to Wyndon now and take Gloria on a date.”

 “D-date?!”

 “I got some coupons for Bob’s, or if you want something fancier, I can do some reservations for Captain’s Table—”

 Red-faced, Hop stood up. “F-fine, I’ll leave now!” He couldn’t handle the fact that Sonia could easily think of date ideas when he couldn’t even get the courage to ask Gloria. Well, he was trying to. It had been three years, at least.

 “Oh, sorry, Hop. They just scheduled an interview today, and I can’t say no.”

“—ah, yeah, s-sure, I can give an interview—”

“W-what, another exhibition match?!”

 Yeah, just as busy as Lee before. Well, he’s still busy at the Battle Tower these days…

 He proceeded to remove his laboratory coat and fetch his phone. “I should send her a text first.”

 Sonia sipped her tea slowly. “Ever heard of an element of surprise, Hop?”

 “But she might have other things to attend to!”

 “Hold that thought.” The professor had taken her own phone, which was already dialing. When they heard someone pick up, she went, “Oh, hey, Leon, mind giving me a favor? Since you’re in charge of the Cup and all, could you reschedule poor Gloria's appointments—oh, is she? Why, that's swell! Thank you kindly!”

 "What did Lee say?"

 "For some reason, she’s all free today.” Her smirk returned, but she had a playful glint in her turquoise eyes. “Now, no dilly-dallying! Only one chance to ask her out!”

--------

“Hop!” Gloria ran towards him with a grin as they met outside the Wyndon Stadium. Luckily, when he arrived, most of the people have already left. “I didn’t know you were coming!”

 “Surprise!” he greeted, chuckling. “I can’t miss the Champion’s Cup for the world.”

 “Boo,” she replied after she blew a raspberry, “you technically missed my match, but better late than never!” She then noticed his attire. “All geared up today?”

 Since working as Sonia’s assistant, Hop had been wearing polos and long coats to fit the aesthetic. Today, with Galar in the cooler seasons, he was donning a cyan duffle coat closed up with a wool scarf. “Aren’t you cold in that champion’s uniform?”

 “Erm, a little. Good thing I have this cape and—” Gloria was cut off by Hop putting his scarf around her. “—t-thanks.”

 Hop wasn’t able to dismiss the slight blush on her cheeks, but thought it could’ve been from the temperature. I should take her somewhere indoors. “Um, have you eaten?”

 “No. Usually the organization provide food after the exhibition matches, but I was strangely given the day off today.”

 Only one chance.

 “Gloria…”

 She glanced up at him, her brown eyes soft and inviting. “Yeah?”

 That was all it took for him to stutter a bit. “U-um, I got us coupons for Bob’s, t-that is, if you want somewhere cozy—or we could go to Hulbu—”

 “I would love to.”

 Huh?

 “But, you know, I kind of don’t want to be in public right now.” She snuggled closer to the scarf, looking shy. “I need a breather, so why not we go to the Wild Area and camp out? There’s a part there with good weather.”

 Well, that could work.

--------

Hop observed Gloria mixing the curry as he fanned the fire. Even after five years as Champion, she still wanted to be outdoors like where they were in the old days. He couldn’t blame her, though; everywhere she went, the public would watch her every move. She still wasn’t used to the popularity brought by her title.

 “I think it’s ready now.” She then summoned her Inteleon to help set the picnic mat. Her other Pokémon bustled around to help them.

 Today’s menu was Sweet Decorative Curry, meticulously arranged by both trainers, with Hop’s Pikachu and Eevee awfully lopsided. “I’ll eat that, don’t worry,” she commented while giggling. “You’re bad at plating, but the taste still matters.”

 They started eating in silence across each other, until she said, “This is…nice. You and me camping out, with only our dreams and hopes ahead of us. No responsibilities. Just like old times.”

 Just like old times. Will we ever have that?

 Without even realizing it, Hop’s fingers were onto Gloria’s fringe, tucking it in place behind her ears. “Would…would you want the old times again?”

 She stared at him, fazed.

 “Or, would you want…to experience new things with me?”

 This is it. “Y-you mean—?” He only responded with a soft smile.

 Gloria merely leaned to his hand on her face. “I would love that.”

[dilliebar]

Alrighty guys, I collected your questions and now I've got the answers for ya. Thank you all for submitting your asks, it was really sweet to hear from all of you! 💕

Without further ado, here's the Q&A!

Q1: Hi dilliebar!! 😊 I saw you and montys q + a collab on her blog and you guys are totally hilarious! Monty seems like a sweet heart to you and I look forward to seeing you guys post about each other! 💜 For your own q + a, how did you realize you liked monty, who asked who out, and how did it go? Give us the deets!! 😂 Love, a fan

A: Well it would take me a while to get into the full story, but like I said on monty's post, we really got to know each other really well during quarantine. I remember the first string of days where we talked to each other all day and up until we were too tired to text anymore. When I first realized I liked her was the first time she told me "goodnight" and "good morning", which sounds really cheesy but I remember it really vividly. After quite a long time of flirting with this clueless asshole, one day I just started venting to her about this "mystery girl" that I liked, and she told me to ask her out. So I did, right then and there, and sent monty an ask saying "I like you, idiot". As you can probably tell, she felt the same way 😌 Love you too, anon! 💕

Q2: Hi. For the Q/A, do you have any hobbies? Love your writing, by the way. Would love to know what else you get up to in your free time.

A: Well video games, obviously are a big one. I stayed up for like 30 hours straight just to finish tlou2. But other than that, my main thing would definitely have to be computer science, although I'm hoping to turn that into a little more than a hobby after I get my associates. Mostly I've been fucking around with Unity but sometimes I make programs in C++ just to do my homework for me cause I'm lazy. Also, one of my nerdiest (but funnest) hobbies is playing Dungeons and Dragons. I've been playing it since I was 12 or 13 and it's been one of my favorite things to do ever since; I always play at our local game shop on Sundays and Wedensdays 😌🎲

Q3/3.5 (since these kind of go hand-in-hand):

what inspires you to write?

and

hi totally not monty or anything but i wanted to contribute so :) what’s something that really inspires you to write? also ur cute :)

A: Honestly ever since I was really little I liked to get lost in my head and all that. Whenever I got into something, like tv shows or video games, I liked to think about possible scenarios or storylines they might be a part of. When my sister told me about fanfiction I was like "hey, I could do that!" and I did. For a while I only wrote TWD fanfiction (don't ask, I'll never tell you which ones), then I dropped out of writing fanfiction for a while, and once I hopped onto the TLOU2 hype train I needed an outlet for all of my predictions and thoughts on the characters, so I hopped back into writing again. I like to write what I'm feeling; angsty if I'm sad; fluffy if I'm feeling sappy; but overall I've always really connected with Ellie's character ever since I played tlou all those years ago, so she's always a joy to write no matter what mood the fic is. Also, you're cute too "anon" you fuckin nut.

Q4: How did you and monty meet, Dillie? :) Do you guys plan on meeting irl? Love you guys xx

A: Monty and I first met here on Tumblr. I read a lot of her writing and lowkey lurked on her blog for a while, and our first interaction was me reblogging a "dina's a power bottom" post with some stupid meme telling her she was wrong skdksjfkskd. I remember the first conversation was in the comments of a random post, I dont quite remember which, but it went a little something like:

"ur wrong"

"no ur wrong"

"no U-"

and thats how we became mutuals. then the pandemic hit and things ramped up from there, and so here we are. also, we are hopefully planning on meeting sometime in the winter, which would be absolutely amazing bc I miss her very much 💕

Q5: What’s your favorite OST from part 2?

A: oooooo, okay, so my favorite OST would definitely have to be "allowed to be happy". Even though its based off of an Abby/Owen quote, it always makes me think of Ellie/Dina and I usually have it in the background while I'm writing.

Q6: Your fic is amazing! 😊💕 You’re an insane writer Dillie. You and Monty blow me away with your writing. Which leads me to my Q&A Question: Does Monty ever help you write? Or do you help her? Do you guys plan on writing a fic together? (That would be so amazing!!!! 😱) Anyway, keep up the great work! Looking forward to more stuff from you! ☺️

A: thank you so much anon!! 💕🥺 We do help each other out a lot, whether it's coming up with ideas for a section or just figuring out how to make a transition. I will admit, when I wrote the "Use Me" fic I needed a lot of help from her because I'd never written a smut fic before. There's also a part in Monty's "In Her Backseat" fic where Ellie's group of friends are eating lunch together, and Dina brushes some pizza sauce off of Ellie's face; that was me 👀. Oh and we have talked about doing a fic together, but we're still trying to find the right one. Feel free to leave suggestions 💕😁

Q7: hi dilliebar :D what do you see yourself doing as a career in the future and where do you picture yourself living? thanks! ❤️

A: Like i said earlier, I'm really interested in computer science, and I've been learning a lot of C++ and about computer structures since quarantine. I'm actually in college rn and I'm taking my first CS class this upcoming semester so I'm really excited for that! I'd love to work in the game development industry (Naughty Dog is my dream), but when I was younger I really wanted to work at Google, so who knows? But definitely the computer science field. As for where I want to live, that's a hard one. I've always been a city girl so I'd have to say somewhere populated, although once I retire I'd like to either just chill out on a nice farm somewhere or move back to my small hometown 😌💕

And that’s about it for this Q&A! Again, thank you guys so much for all the questions, I really wasn’t expecting such an incredible response. It’s really nice to talk to you guys, even if it’s anonymously :)

Just something for your consideration because I have just thought of this and think it's adorable... Elain, giving Lucien flowers

It IS adorable aier;toienoac okay okay have some more thoughts in return that this Spawned: (listen i’m fully aware that u were probably just ‘wouldn’t it be nice if Elain handed Lucien a little bunch of flowers one day, that’d be sweet, but like GO BIG OR GO HOME MEABHD. and u sent this to me i honestly don’t know what else u were expecting...) 

Elain says at the end of ACOWAR that she wants to fill the world with more gardens. No doubt she makes the one she’s started in Velaris spread and enthusiastically throws herself into it after the war. It’s a place that she’s comfortable and a place that’s hers so Lucien, being tactful and polite, probably chooses to court her there more often. 

He lets her talk endlessly about the flowers that she’s growing there, all the different seeds, the things that will grow in Prythian that she’d never even heard of in the mortal realms (she scolds his people for that because dammit, if I’d known about this before I’d have come here much sooner. And Lucien offers her a very grave apology on behalf of all fae-dom which makes her giggle) 

Lucien literally lived in the Court of Flowers for the past 300 years or something, right, and he spent an inordinate amount of time riding the rails, on border patrol, etc, etc. The boy knows his plants, okay. And he’s probably delighted to have someone as enthusiastic as he is to share that with. (Listen, Lucien spent his free time in the Autumn Court camping out miles away from his home and learning how to catch trout with his bare hands - he loves the outdoors just as much as Elain, who spent all her time wherever they were carving out a garden, does. Elain spreads life wherever she goes and Lucien basks in it. This is a beautiful point of bonding for them). 

Lucien tells her all about the Spring Court. It was toxic and unhealthy for him in Tamlin’s court and Elain gets very grumpy about the abuse that he suffered at Tamlin’s hands (and starts to encourage Lucien to look and think about Tamlin’s treatment of him too) but the court itself was beautiful. He tells her about the deep forests. About the plants that would bloom all year round. The gardens of the manor and the wild, untamed beauty found in the heart of the court. 

Partly he talks to share this wonder with Elain the only way he knows how. He would take her there but with his relationship with Tamlin being what it is that isn’t possible...But he knows that he needs to tell her everything he can about it. Elain laps it all up and so he starts sharing things from the Autumn Court as well, diving into memories he thought he’d long forgotten because that court, too, had its beauty. 

As he talks Elain starts to realise that this is for her benefit that he’s sharing these things, to see her smile and light up in wonder imagining all of the things he’s telling her about...But she also starts to sense a pang of longing and nostalgia in him and she realises that a part of him is homesick for these parts of those courts he once called home. 

Elain hatches a cunning plan. 

Using that sweet, diplomatic charm she cultivated in human high society she charms merchants and vendors from other courts into getting her what she needs and sets to work. 

There’s a corner of her garden that she keeps fenced off and made such ferocious threats to Cassian when he tried to peek inside that he swears of all the Archeron sisters, he fears Elain the most. No-one is allowed to go to the part of the garden but especially not Lucien, it’s kept so secret from him that he doesn’t even know it exists. 

Not until Elain comes to him one day, bursting with excitement and glowing so brightly people start questioning which one of them, exactly, is the heir to Day. She takes Lucien by the hand and quite firmly ignores his baffled babbling as she ties a blindfold over his eyes and leads him outside. She just tells him to trust her and Lucien shuts his mouth and obeys and that’s that. 

She leads him out into the garden (Lucien stumbling a few times because, well, Elain is very excited and enthusiastic and that tends to dull her noticing things like loose stones and protruding roots, all of which poor Lucien trips over) but they manage to make it to this special little corner relatively intact. 

Quivering with anticipation Elain takes off Lucien’s blindfold (standing on her toes and having him bend down a little while she curses him for being so damn tall) and waits with baited breath for his reaction as she stares around at what she’s created for. A little part of her garden is a miniature Spring Court, with a small section of Autumn too, both of them filled with all of Lucien’s favourite plants and flowers, that she spent a great deal of time researching to make sure she got it just right. 

Lucien steps forwards on slightly trembling legs and moves deeper into the garden. It feels like he’s home, at last, like this strange, alien court that spent so long as the subject of his most twisted nightmares, could some day be his. Elain tentatively follows him and murmurs that she knew he was missing home and she thought this might help but if he doesn’t like it...

Never in all his many, many years of life has Lucien ever been this lost for words. After a very long moment and several tries, instinct and training kick in at last and he’s finally able to wheeze that he loves it, he loves it and that no-one...No-one has ever done anything like this for him before.

 That little line he’s learning to love creases between Elain’s brows at that and she says that they should have done...Then she softens and smiles and murmurs quietly that she supposes she just has a lot of making up to do, in that case. 

Lucien walks towards her and pulls her to him and tells her that he would very, very much like to kiss her right now, if that would be agreeable to her. Elain giggles and informs him that she didn’t very well go to all this effort for the simple pleasure of watching him gape at her like a fish, she thinks he should most definitely kiss her, after all her hard work. 

Lucien doesn’t need to be told twice. He laughs at her boldness, even as she blushes for him, and wonders if this woman, this soft heart who just might be the strongest person he’s ever known, will ever stop surprising him. 

He concludes, as she, impatient with his overly-polite dilly-dallying, takes his face firmly between her hands and draws him down to kiss her, that she most certainly will not. And he’s absolutely fine with that. 

Once he’s spent a good long time properly appreciating Elain and all her hard work and their lips are red and swollen from said appreciation, he lets her lead him around the garden. 

She shows him every single plant she’s brought here and lets him talk, tell her silly little facts about them, how that one is good to put on burns and that one should absolutely not, under any circumstances and no matter how much gold she’s offered, ever be drunk as a tea. 

She tells him how much trouble she had getting hold of that and he tells her he’s not surprised, that it almost died out a few decades ago and he can’t believe she managed to get it to grow at all. Elain swells with pride and Lucien appreciates her some more. 

He laughs and laughs and laughs over a small, insignificant looking little plant and tells her about the memories that it brings back from Spring, when things were better, a lifetime ago. Then he asks about her favourites, of the new ones that she’s found here and they bond and Lucien appreciates her a great deal. 

Lucien, ever the graceful courtier, plucks up a delicate blue rose and tucks it into her hair. And then nothing will do but that Elain has to weave an entire bouquet into Lucien’s hair. They lie in the shade of a tree while she does this, Elain’s legs folded into a (highly unladylike, as Lucien teasingly comments and gets a swat on the arm in return) basket, Lucien’s head in her lap. As she works she confesses, giggling and blushing, that she’s been wanting to play with his hair for a very long time. Lucien smiles and tells her she’s welcome to do this as often as she wishes. Elain leans down and kisses him upside down. 

Lucien refuses to take off his flower crown and proudly wears it to the family dinner the Circle have that night at the House of Wind. During which, Feyre smiles knowingly at them and just smiles some more when Elain sidles over to thank her for helping her find out what flowers Lucien likes.

SEL SEL I AM EYEING THAT EXES TO LOVERS BAKUGOU WIP SOOOO HARD RN 👀👀👀👀✨️

based off this post i made on my wips!

hELP the way you all went 😳👀 at the bkg wip 😭 (tbh i get it... he's so cute... i miss him all the time...) @willowser @kedsandtubesocks @acerathia

i consider this fic my love letter to bakugo 🥺

i say that because, i think this fic will bear a lot of how i view bakugo under the themes of regret and reconciliation (something i really want to explore with him!) & i think the exes to lovers trope lends well to that!!

it's set in canon, so pro-hero!au (because idt i'm very creative with au's 🤧) & takes place around his mid-20's! you start dating fresh off ua after working together during an internship. there's definitely a connection, and bakugo definitely has a crush, but of course he's not going to say anything—even when everything about your dynamic is shifting into something more than just friends.

you admit to the feelings first, but don't put a label on it, convincing him that nothing really has to change anyway from how you've already been acting. bakugo can't take the ambiguity though, and probably says something like 'so we datin' or sum shit?'.

then he breaks up with you 2 years later. it's a lot of things piled up til the trigger point and what sucks is that it's all him. there's nothing really wrong with the relationship—in fact, it's good. but there are a lot of things he still regrets, and even more things he hasn't fully forgiven himself for. he projects that a lot onto the relationship and where it's going, and he just thinks, he won't be good for it, or you.

you respect it, and the saddest part is you still work closely together so you see each other a lot and the dynamic is still so good. as in, he passes you by the hall and his shoulders relax, the creases between his brows smoothening by memory—your habit of flattening them down with your fingertips. and it goes on like this for a few years as he attempts to work through things on his own (in a way, he's kinda forced himself to confront everything) until it's an achingly slow realisation that there's still something missing (you).

sidestory! i was actually just contemplating on scrapping this entire thing, bc i didn't feel super confident with my grasp on him and the direction i wanted to take w his characterisation (especially since i think he'll be mellower, maybe a bit sadder and frustrated instead of angrier?). but!! i think, there's a lot to unpack with him, and i feel like i tend to gravitate towards the softer parts of a character when i write them anyway 🥺🤧 i am hoping!! crossing my fingers!! that i bring justice to writing him this way 🥺

this idea came from a set of songs i put in a playlist bc they felt very ~ex-bkg (whatever that meant at the time 😭) but this is probably what's influencing the tone too sdjhgbadj

and a very small snippet!

BABAYY!! i am so curious . . 🧸🪢🎶 for our dearest silly boy gojo <3 mwah mwah i hope you’re having a great day today 💝💘

sweet dilly!! ☁️ i miss you so much!!! 🥹 thank you for sending these in for our dearest silly boy!!! i hope you're doing well my love!!❣️

🧸 A headcanon about their childhood

oh god, itty bitty squishy baby satoru 🥺 i honestly don't think he had much of a childhood to begin with ☹️ he probably had to grow up while he was young, i mean, having all that power and a bounty on his head—i don't think he had a choice 😢 lots of training and lessons with the higher ups, and not much interaction with kids his age, definitely ☹️

if there's one happy memory from his childhood, i think it's when he manages to sneak away from everyone once he learns how to teleport 🤧 he does it by accident first, then eventually learns how to do it on his own 🥹 and he doesn't get found out until after a while, so he manages to visit a few places like convenience stores, playgrounds, and parks all on his own 🥹

i feel like his own experiences as a child explain why he's so playful now, grown up—because he actually can be now 😭 and even more than that!! it reinforces how strongly he feels for the younger generation actually being able to you know, be young 🥲

more under the cut because this got long!! (i talk abt mama gojo! 🥹)

🪢 A headcanon about their family

i love thinking about this question because there are so many ways it can go!! i've seen hc's of both his parents being absent, and can completely see that happening!! but i personally really like the idea that his momma tried to love him as much as she could, given all circumstances 🥹 against all odds 🥲

he definitely had a strained relationship with his dad, if not, no relationship at all, but his momma—i think he loved her, for all that she tried to do for him despite everything 🥺

when baby satoru didn't have friends, he had his momma, and i like to imagine that she did play with him, read him bedtime stories—tried to indulge his little pranks and games 🥺 she’d tickle him every night before going to bed, and he'd laugh freely, innocently, like the child he should have been 🥺🤧

she got punished for it, for sure, but i like to believe that she loved her baby, so she endured 🥺☹️

🎶 A headcanon about music

i firmly believe gojo listens to pop music, specifically, girl idol pop music 😭 like, think feel special by twice omfg 😭 other than that, i don't think he listens to anything else other than what's popular atm! he already gets sensory overload from his eyes, so i don’t think he seeks out more stimulus to interfere with that! 🤧 still, he probs memorizes some of the dances and sings it in the shower too ngl 😭

send me any of these emojis with any character you have in mind and i’ll answer!

GAME TIME !! 🌝📝

sweet dilly!!! thank you for playing with me!! 💗 and thank you for ur support on 'so this is what it means...' omfg ??? u r too sweet!!!

🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to?

i really want to write for kirishima one day!! (tbh i already have a prompt for him ahsfbhaf) or nanami / atsumu!!!

📝 What is one growth area you have for your writing?

i had to google if my understanding of growth area was correct omg

i'm still unsure but hmmm... if it's points of improvement: related to my previous ask, i have a hard time with plots!! so maybe focusing on smth plot-heavy would be nice to improve on sometime!! i'm also really bad at describing actions ,, like i think i write them really mechanically?? if that's make sense. any way for me to improve on that would be nice too !!

if it's areas i think i've improved on: capturing certain moods in writing !!! / having an overall mood for a specific fic !! i don't think it's that big of a deal but whenever i'm editing i feel like i can feel distinct ~vibes or see certain colors to diff fics of mine ! (i used to just write the same always,,,,,, HAHA)

☕♡🍞 brunch chats or a midnight snack! ☕♡🍞 pick from any of these ask games: 1 | 2 | 3 and let's talkkkk!!

[seiwas]

game time !! 😋 i + s + u for the fic ask game if i may so humbly ask of thee <3

dilly !! i am so happy to see you here !!!! 🥹 thank you so much for participating 🤍

i: do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

hmm... i don't think my guilty pleasures are that controversial but in reading, i rlly love me a good exes-to-lovers trope (esp ex-spouse ones) 🥲 i say this is a guilty pleasure bc idk how i'd feel abt it in irl (mostly bc i think break-ups/separations happen for a reason!) but i still can't stop reading abt it 🫠

in writing, i think i abuse commas and em dashes a lot 😭 i'm not sure if that's a guilty pleasure but sometimes i look at a page and think: there are way too many commas and dashes here, but i like it that way anyway 😭

s: any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

my favorite tropes are: bff-to-lovers, fwb, exes-to-lovers, some form of yakuza/mafia au!! anyth w those and i'm bound to read it!! (even better if it's slowburn omg) royalty!aus are really interesting to me too!!

u: share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

this is tough!! i adore so many works from so many writers 😭 and it varies depending on which character it's for too!! but if i could list 3 right now it'd be:

@/willowser / willowser on ao3 (one of my) fave work(s): and you take me the way i am ↝ office!au with bakugo and the pining and tension is so so good... they do a lot of super creative aus and drabbles too (that are always good), not just of bakugo, but kiri, (and recently) gojo, and others too!!

@/ofmermaidstories / ofmermaids on ao3 (one of my) fave work(s): surrender (whenever you're ready) ↝ i think abt this bakugo fic to this day 😭 everything about this is so good i think i cried the first and second time i read it jhdfbsdb; i adore the pacing in their writing the most!! it's so so so achingly tender

@/bakughosts / kirketeer on ao3 (one of my) fave work(s): i like to call myself wound but i will answer to knife ↝ i also cried reading this bakugo fic 😭 i had to sit down and pause between a lot of the paragraphs to relax my feelings HABSHf they also have another bakugo fic (that i also cried reading)!! i enjoy the character thoughts and emotions in their writing the most!!!

thank you so much again for joining this lil game, sweet dilly!! 🤍

let's talk!! here are some of my ask games if you want to join in! (1) (2) (3)

[134340am]

good mornie princess angel yuna !!! how did you sleep? :o i just finished working gaaaah - finally laying on the couch mhm mhm ! thinking abt what to have for dinner . . . any ideas? ;p

gooooob morning my precious dilly ☺️💘 i didn’t sleep very well because i woke up twice for no reason… but i’ll just try to sleep earlier tonight :*( thank you for asking ~

PROUD OF YOU FOR FINISHING WORK! lying down and doing low effort things like scrolling on social media is my favourite thing to do at the end of a long day 😮‍💨 i hope you have a good rest, lovely!!!

hmmm!!!! i’m not too sure what’s available in your area but i’m gonna go eat mexican food for lunch LOL so how about that? 😚 i haven’t had a lot of it but i think mexican food is really appetising because it’s a big burst of flavours (tangy, spicy, savoury, sometimes sweet) so it’s easy to eat at the end of the day. sometimes when i’m tired i lose my appetite which is really bad, but flavourful comfort foods always help me get it back 👍🏻

or!!! you can get something light and soupy like pho? it’s easy to eat and the warm soup can help you relax! or maybe just soup (like from a can) with a sandwich or a toastie 😋 i also really like salads with sesame dressing, mandarin oranges (also from a can), sweet corn and lots of croutons!!!

oh no this has become more of a what-does-yuna-like-to-eat and less of a dinner suggestion reply BUT!!! let me know if you want more suggestions and i’ll do my best 🥲 love u and if no one’s told u this today, i m very proud of u!!!
