"You will experience an all-out war in glitches if any of the main or sub characters move a weird way, write it down. JasperHaleisMyBabyDaddy has brought up an upcoming glitch that Charlie Swan teleports through the door without turning the handle nor opening it, we have fix that”, Barbara pump in extreme annoyance pointing at a brown hair female co-worker on the left side of the table. Everyone applauded, “Remarkable”, I blurt annoyed beyond believe to be here in this specific meeting. I could have been back at home playing the hit game coming out the following November 21 of next year. A multi-language luscious red head calls for everyone’s attention back to her to clear some confusion.

We were all required to use our Alpha Testing names in this meeting. I had to cover my mouth with my hands to stop myself from laughing. It is a magnificent name; however, I am perplexed at Jessica’s boldness, and Barbara ability to say that with a straight face.

Ivelisse Corporation motto is “We do it for your comfort and convenience”. Games from books turn into a bookworm’s dream. A VR paradise though there are some levels of opposition for a game from such a well-known franchise a mistake could cause a fire from the franchise itself burning the VR adaptation to the ground. This is merely very ambitious. Despite a small fandom by either those that admit publicly loving it or those that don’t.

“Barbara”, I stood up from my seat – all eyes shift from Barbara at the front to my I choose the Volturi pajamas. Barbara turns around her hair on a bun locks pocking from the side. She stumbles but stops midway. Everyone closest to her stood up to help her, “I am good”, Barbara mutters a wide smile on her lips. Everyone that stood resumed their previous seating arrangement. The coldness from the AC made me feel at least something other than my annoyance.

“Yes, World Crosser? Do you have any lags, problems, glitches to have pop up on your game through?”, Barbara eyes lock with mine internally. I inhale then exhale gathering the Volturi notebook on the table holding all my notes. I opened the notebook flipping through the pages as I heard Jessica’s voice in the background, “I beg you no more volturi references”.

“Then beg”. Everyone burst out laughing in understanding such an incredible and notorious tiktok.

“Settle down, lights”, Barbara sternly glances at each one of us not in any angry way. She wears a smile herself enjoying the laughter seating the atmosphere from close off workplace to something more comfortable, “In my immerse dive into the Volturi world, a modern item in a different time period could cause an uproar, or the beta tester could be branded as a witch. I have given it a thought because it is something I would probably do starting a witch hunt because it seems like a natural thing to do”, I utter loud enough for everyone in the room to listen to my words, I shrug as people protest at my boldness. How is it bold preventing the Beta tester from dying earlier in game.

“You could leave it. Have it as a possibility for the user; The Beta Tester to be careful on where they use or show their anker item”. I added once more, giving the room a once over. Barbara ponders on every word I said waiting for me to continue.

“In each part of the time period, the reader is experiencing. Shall we work on each section depending which path is available? As It is Alpha Testing, we are living one life through team member to have an idea of what can happen. In the terms, World related. What if? We get a Beta Tester that travels the world on foot then complains to the internet about what we got wrong? I am trying to avoid an apology letter”, I continued through my notes as I flipped the page to my more crucial issue. A short brown hair and brown eyes fellow, Seth’s imprint, pulls his hands up.

I inhaled a deep breath giving my heart and lungs some getaway – forgotten I wasn’t a Vampire in this life. Elliot shakes his hands in hopes to gather my attention.

“Yes, Sethiot?”. I gave Elliot the stage hoping my response had no annoyance nor sounded degrading in anyway. I am working on how sometimes I have a bitch poker face expression indulging people on how irritated they make me.

“I have to agree with World Crosser on world building areas such as Area 51 is a no trespassing zone. Some mountains around 6am to 9am completely disappeared from the game sight. I had frozen the game to get closer to it, and I had unfrozen the environment putting down the time I had frozen things not to disturb the reaction of everyone around. I have the coordinates in my notes; I had also emailed everyone a vivid image of it. I wanted to bring that out. Also, zombie apocalypse works amazing. You guys should try it”. Elliot waves at everyone handing out his hands towards me.

Everyone bursts with their own concerns about things they haven’t even previously brought up. Elliot shakes his head, taking a seat glancing at me an apologetic smile crossed his lips. I wave a hand over by face back and forth motion not even upset. Everyone was waiting for one another to stand up with concern. I am aware to which side 85% of these people are on. It rhymes with another coven. I am not going to mention any names; however, it is a known fact.

I don’t particularly care. Some on my side, the volturi side are here just because their preferred twilight love was taken. All hail Aro Volturi; I signed up early as hell. I slept in the office on sign up day. Well, it was my birthday too. I was lucky to choose first – well, second Barbara was first. It was all work for this particular day. It is my friend (y/n)’s birthday today. I have worked my ass off to get here, and I will do whatever is in my power to get that Beta pass for (y/n).

The least I can do for (y/n)’s birthday is given them a Beta tester pass.

Everyone in the room quiet down, even a needle drop could be heard. I stood frozen on my spot; I listened to my heartbeat ringing in my ears. Elliot stands up on the aid to defend a damsel in distress, “That’s not true and you know it. We are all part of a team World Crosser isn’t any more nor any less. She is part of the team as us doing our best; sometimes staying overnight to work on this project just like all of us”. He tries to compromise the situation by aiding me.

I glance at Barbara for some type of lenience because I missed half or whatever was just said. Barbara points behind her at the screen projector in which my name stood in wide letters reading, “World Crosser first place for an all-inclusive Beta Tester pass”. I whisper to myself not registering any of what I just said. I open my mouth widely as I notice Barbara walk the short steps to the water bottle drinking half of it.

Barbara scratches the back of her head swiftly pointing to the other side of the room. I followed whomever she pointed to there stood Cindy, Jessica second shadow, going on about something. I had absolutely no problem with any of my co-workers whatsoever. I am proud to be socially awkward.

“I have found just as many or even more widely lags and technical issues than her! She has a stuck up her ass thinking she is better than everyone up in Italy – searching and killing people for fun! Her chosen isn’t even good.” Jessica shadows blurts, a widen smile decorate her rosy lips with gleeful eyes. She stood up, a hand on her hips a matter of fact that I could have careless in no way in hell will I care.

Some people agreed just because they are from an opposite coven. This game has made these upright bitches more self-importance.

“As Sethiot returns the stage to me. There is a crucial issue I wanted to specify before we return to the monthly gift for those that stuck support. Charlie mustache h-”. I stop dead in my track at Cindy words. The notebook dropped from my hands before I even realized it. I heard the ring of my heart as blood pump to help me up on that table so quickly I thought I weighed nothing. Elliot had stood up trying to stop me; however, I was over the table in record time as soon as I heard her say, “I am glad Demetri dies in Breaking Dawn part 2”. Cindy words ring on my ears with that amused putrid smile on her lips that I wouldn’t mind ripping it from her lips, stuck up bitch.

-x-

After the meeting, everyone left the room except Cindy, I and Barbara. We seat in silence Barbara drinks from her water bottle staring into nothing.

I sat on a seat leaning back on the chair not looking at my boss. Cindy seats way far away from me with an icepack on her face. I caress my fingers over me bloody knuckles – I regret absolutely nothing. I would have jumped on her sooner or later.

“I have a date with Vladimir today!”, Cindy sobs devastated, her shoulders shake with the increase of her cries. Barbara sighs heavily, she clears her face of a non-existent dirt gives Cindy a once over.

“Cindy, do you have anything to say?”. Barbara paints a smile on her mouth like an actor about to start a scene. A life changing opportunity – she leans forwards, extending her hand in a mere way to add to her acting. I look up trying to stop myself from imagining the delighted feeling when my knuckles contacted her face.

“She broke one of our rules. She compromised the workplace! Allowing her to have so many privileges and learning! It’s blasphemy! She is a menace!!”. Cindy raises her voice twice her usual stuck-up tone. Her hands go everywhere, and the icepack falls to the floor, leaving a thud to be the only thing to be heard, “Also, you said to call us by our Alpha Tester names!”. She sure chooses more than she could bargain on, I thought.

Cindy whimpers, she shrinks twice her size back in her chair. Barbara glares at her employee.

“Do you think of me as a complete incompetent?”. Barbara asks, she clears her head. Cindy shakes her head in multiple quiet cries lowering her sight.

“Then why are you screaming? We are in a workplace, Cin- VladimirSugarBae. I am so sorry I didn’t call you by your Alpha Tester name. We shall follow the rules we express on that. The #1 rule we agree on as a group Cindy. Can you tell me?”. Barbara speaks softly though powerful enough to project strength through her walk. She could act as a ruler of a nation if she so wishes, particularly she is the mastermind behind this Virtual Reality dream.

Cindy lowers picking up the icepack placing it back on their cheeks. She moves back up to answer Barbara’s question as quietly as humanly possible. She mumbles the words not wanting to finish the words, “Speak up. Clearer”, Barbara adds slapping her hands on the table. Cindy jumps clearing her throat before speaking.

“We NEVER use ‘I wish’ or ‘I am glad’ referring to another Alpha Tester designated mate choice. Neither we are granted permission to question their choices because the same portrait can be done to us. We have to attain the consequences of our actions”. Cindy stands up without saying a word and she rushes out of the meeting room’s double doors in tears.

Barbara waits for the doors to close before turning to me.

“She didn’t let me finish, but the classes will be free for (y/n) too. Self-defense, karate, swimming, etc. Any classes that they would want to learn about the time period they are learning depending on what age they start”, Barbara blurts sliding a briefcase on the table towards me. She sends a genuine smile towards me. Barbara stands up fixing her Volturi coat hoodie over her head, “I should not indulge in office slander nor conflict. I should send you to HR; however, remind me never to piss you off”. Barbara stuck two thumbs up coming over. She moves her hands over her pockets sticking out a silver key with the Volturi emblem engraved on the handle. She sticks it out to me.

“Give it to me after you use it”. Barbara blurts after I take it from her hands. I place the silver key around my neck; I lower my sight out of respect bowing to Barbara a hand to my heart, “Stop it! We aren’t in the virtual reality world”.

My hands hold onto the briefcase registering how valuable this is. I stood back up walking towards the door. I stop looking back at Barbara, “Will I go lose Alpha Tester?”. I had to be sure.

“No, I did send you a new VR set for (y/n). It’s my gift for them”.

-x-

(y/n) holds all their grocery bags in their two hands, the ultimate laze level of not wanting to do a second trip down and up six floors – not ideal. Days go in and days go out in a slow matter waiting for this precious day not one to celebrate their birthday; however, they found a VR set in their mail today. They assumed it was a gift, so they left all the mail in closing it.

(y/n) decided to go buy groceries before they ran up six floors of stairs to unbox every single thing before their roommate could explain what this means.

They have both consoles; it is the ups to living with a professional gamer. (y/n) knocks on the front door with their foot unable to use their keys in the back pocket of their pants.

“HEY! Birthday privileges!”, (y/n) screams at the top of their lungs – that’s the only reason they use it.

“Coming”, the door swings open a smiling roommate on the other side. A triumphant air surrounded her, “x help me”. (y/n) whines in their own right. Who on their right mind would pick 10 bags to feel like a weightlifter up 6 set of stairs?

“Sorry”. X helps them take grocery bags from their hands moving to the side to allow (y/n) to come in, “Leave the bags in the kitchen and go to the gaming room”, x closes the front door with her foot.

(y/n) mumbles a soft ‘okay’. They hopped their happiness behind like a bunny in easter to the kitchen. They felt euphoria running up and down every corner part of their body in anticipation. They walk through the boxes on top of each other’s and some of the room is not yet unpacked as they are both recently moved to this apartment.

Only the kitchen, gaming room and tv room are fully set and loaded. (y/n) bathroom and bedroom have essentials necessities that they’ll need day to day. (y/n) comes to a stop at the threshold of the door; A wide circular platform holds different robotic like tools. All in (y/n)’s (f/c). (y/n) stares to her left another set up all in blue stands back – x set-up is right next to this one.

Their hearts started singing symphonies as (y/n) made their way into their roommates gaming room. What does this mean if this extra set up is here?

“Do you like it? I know what you are thinking. Barbara’s welcome home and birthday gift; this means this is your home too, you know”. X speaks out leaning on the door frame. A smile on her lips pondering if she had to say something else.

(y/n)’s eyes prickle with fresh tears that they bite the inner corner of their lips to pull back not wanting to cry for such a nice gesture. This is a whole sophisticated set up – something they would never spend to own.

“Wait... what type of game requires such an immersive set up? It has those censoring things you put on your face…”, (y/n) turns around staring at back at their roommate. They hold their breath watching x walk across the room, “I didn’t know what to get you as your birthday. I had no idea if this is to your liking”, x takes a silver key from somewhere opening a briefcase on (y/n)’s brand new gaming desk table on their (f/c).

(y/n) walks to x hovering over her shoulders their eyes fall onto the briefcase. X holds onto a clear like glass CD holding absolutely no words; however, the faint sighs of pine trees. The CD in itself is beautiful like a mirror glass. X takes the cd closing the briefcase. She wiggles her brows stopping in front of (y/n) new ways more advanced console placing the cd inside. (y/n) raises an eyebrow curiosity swings inside their face at such prospect.

“(y/n) get on the platform and let it adjust itself to you”, x explains pointing the circular platform standing on a circular stand. They stare at it feeling a yearning calling for them; x quietly guides them on the platform not a word spoken by either of them.

“What about the sensory?”, (y/n) asks staring back at the other complicated technological options.

“Don’t worry that was another set up. This one is much more advance – the VR sets covers your whole face is has inter sensing. It will register every time your face moves; you can control it anyways. It will give you options. It will ask you some questions in which era you want to be”. X explains the instructions softly of my comprehension as she checks the security in the platform all hold in place not having their friends having an accident.

“What is the game? What VR game takes so much to mobility and visual effect? What’s with so much suspense?”. (y/n) asks so many questions before their VR headset lowers to their face adjusting to every corner of their face. They breathe in remembering to breath as x points to a mural on the wall side of their game set-up.

“Welcome to TwilightVR – First All-inclusive Beta Tester!”, (y/n) screams at the top of her lungs jumping up and down though her excitement is miniscule as the platform moves with them in place.

“You are shitting me!!”, they scream at the top of their lungs. X smiles widely opening her the corner of her mouth ear to ear, “Every Beta Tester reports to an Alpha Tester”.

“Tell me I report to you”, (y/n) states, their excitement disappears from their face in utter sense.

“Yes. You’ll have to choose an anker item prior to entering anything for the tutorial. It will explain everything in a more depth depending on what you are into”, x explains, but I am half listening jumping up and down. I breathe in putting my hands up to get a quick question in. X extends her hand leaving the stage for them to speak.

“What about food? Drinks? What happens if I get stuck in the game for hours? I love twilight, but I need to eat”. (y/n) ponders their eyes search their roommate that burst out laughing in mere seconds of their words leaving their lips.

“On the tutorial, yes. In Virtual Reality time works differently there. TwilightVR time and real-life work differently. It takes a couple of weeks to get used to it. After a while you can differentiate the difference between VR and reality. On tutorial time flows the same. Nonetheless, the platform will notify you when you might need to take a break for nutrition”. X sugar coats the extent of Virtual reality and reality time difference. (y/n) knows there is more than time difference that something is there; however, x is probably not wanting to spoil anything major.

“If you want to start, there are multiple ways but to be much more precise close your eyes. I will connect you through”. X mutters loud enough for me to grasp as she instruction they close their eyes leaving x voice to be in the background.

(y/n) opens her eyes breath gets caught in her throat, a forest welcomes them from pine trees as tall as giants cluster so beautifully. The sun meets on one side with blooming flowers while the other side holds the moon with fireflies flying about. It takes them a bit to take in every little detail like a fairy tail both combinations of magnificent excellence.

“Magical”, they mumble.

A voice clear as water speaks through out not to loud to disturb the habitat. It was loud enough that (y/n) could comprehend what was said.

“Ivelisse Corporation wants to appreciate your support as our first all-inclusive Beta Tester. Welcome All-inclusive Beta Tester to the Immersive experience of the Twilight Saga Brand New VR Experience. Twilight VR is brought to you by our beloved Ivelisse Corp. Would you like to start your experience?”.

“Yes”, (y/n) clearly blurts leaving no hesitation in her bone.

Gravity (Bakugou x OC)

Part 14: Awkward Encounters

If youd like to be tagged to the taglist for upcoming parts please dm me :)

Masterlist II AO3

Bakugou x Vigilante!OC

Warnings: angst, explicit language, violence

Word count: 1726

Genre: enemies to lovers ; angst ; romance, slow burn

When a new student makes an entrance, Bakugou has a real bad feeling. There is something about this girl that just doesnt feel right. From the flaming hair to the calculating glint in her green eyes, everything about her just pisses him off.

Little does he know that his fate is intertwined with the person he despises so much, defining his future path in a way he would have never expected

The Sports Festival ended in a grand ceremony involving fireworks and American cheerleaders. UA really didn't scrimp with their gestures of greatness - all of it probably to keep up the image of the best Hero school of the country despite their most recent mishaps, Artemis reasoned. The audience seemed to love it, soaking up the make pretend fairy tale of heroism and safety like a sponge before erupting into cheers and applause.

Artemis watched as All Might himself gave an animated speech about the values of Hero society while handing out the trophies. Her classmates were laughing and joking about the spectacle in front of them while she herself was shaking in anger and disgust.

The main event of the circus show was seeing the winner of the competition. Katsuki Bakugou, chained up to a stone pole and muzzled like some sort of feral animal. His panicked heartbeat drummed in Artemis’s ears as she watched the scene in absolute disbelief. Were these idiots seeing the same thing she was? Didn’t they realize that Bakugou's behavior wasn’t borne from rage, but fear?

“Man, he really needs to chill,” Sero giggled to Kaminari behind her.

Artemis whipped around and stared at the two boys. “You think this is funny?!”

“Oh, come on! It's just Bakugou. You know how he gets sometimes,” Kaminari said with a pout.

“Yeah, he does this all the time.”

It was disgusting. Artemis couldn't believe that UA of all places would treat a student this way and televise it to the whole nation. No matter what kind of temper anyone had, that sort of treatment was unjustified. Inhumane, even.

Grabbing her belongings, Artemis got up and stormed out of the tribunes. There was no way she'd be a part of this sort of spectacle.

Three days later, Classes 1A and 1B were sent into their internships in several hero agencies, with the sole exception of Artemis. Aizawa had made it clear that after the whole fiasco at the festival, he would not budge again, so she’d been sent home for the week with very clear instructions of taking it easy and healing up. Whatever that meant.

The hardest thing for Artemis was that she just… couldn't do anything. Sitting around had never been her strong suit, but with all the quirk use restriction laws in Japan and Recovery Girl’s orders to hold back on the exercise, all she could do was twiddle her thumbs and try to work through the hell that was mathematics in Japanese for the upcoming finals in a few weeks.

“It’s only fucking Tuesday and I already feel like I want to scratch my brain raw,” Artemis muttered to herself as she exited the convenience store with a bag full of essentials.

How other people could just… chill all day was a mystery to her.

This idleness was driving her insane. Her brain had taken to using the spare time to torture her with more nightmares, feeding her with imaginary scenes that made her wake up sweat-soaked and panicked after every nap, adding yet another reason for her to be cranky.

At least I don’t have to deal with my classmates for the time being, she thought with a sigh.

She decided to take the longer route back to her apartment to stretch her legs. Just as she was about to turn a corner, something bumped into her side, sending her tumbling to the ground and dropping her groceries in the process.

“Oi, Extra! Watch out where you're stepping, God dammit. You got in my way!” a very loud and angry voice snapped at her.

“How about ‘Sorry my fat arse sent you flying,’ you jackass?” Artemis hissed back. She looked up at whoever had just decided that today was the day to rob her of her last shreds of serotonin.

“Huh?” At first she didn't recognize him because someone had stuck him into a ridiculously high-waisted pair of blue jeans and slicked his hair back with an excessive amount of gel, but the expression on his face left her in no doubts. “B-Bakugou?”

He looked… ridiculous. And judging by the blush colouring his cheeks, he knew it himself. Laughter bubbled up in Artemis’s throat. Never in her life had she seen something as funny as this.

“Shit! Artemis? What are you- DAMMIT, STOP LAUGHING!” Bakugou roared.

“Oh my God, what the fuck are you wearing?” Artemis wheezed with tears in her eyes.

“It's not funny! Stop laughing. Stop! I’ll fucking kill you-”

“What have you done now, Bakugou? Why is this girl crying?”

A tall man with a stern look on his face approached. Despite the tears in her eyes, Artemis immediately recognized the Number Four Hero, Best Jeanist.

“Oh no… Oh no, honey!” she giggled. “You're wearing a partner look with your hero. I- pff!”

Bakugou looked as if he wanted to scream, strangle her and run away all at the same time.

“Here.” Best Jeanist knelt down to Artemis’s level and helped her back onto her feet. She dusted herself off and gave the Pro Hero a grateful nod, trying her best not to laugh more.

“I apologize if my… intern… has caused you any inconvenience. He’s still learning, which means he can be difficult at times.”

Bakugou could feel heat flooding his cheeks. The absolute humiliation of being seen like this, by her of all people. God, he just wanted to scream.

Artemis was still giggling, and he could tell that she was trying hard to bite her tongue and not flat-out wheeze whenever she looked in his direction. Great. Just his luck that he had to bump into the worst possible person dressed like this.

She shot him another glance and snorted. He was going to kill her.

He gave her the best death stare he could muster, which only made her giggle harder.

“It’s fine,” Artemis said, trying to keep her composure. “Bakugou has a habit of inconveniencing me”

“Hah?” That was rich coming from her of all people. He’d had more problems dealing with her stupid shit than he’d ever put on her! He should’ve kept a Goddamn list that he could throw back in her face.

“Oh. So, you two know each other?” Jeanist asked, raising a brow and looking between him and Artemis.

Before Bakugou could say anything to dispute that, the bane of his existence had already given him a smirk and nodded.

“Yeah, we're classmates.”

“Really? How curious.” He turned to Artemis. “I didn't notice you at the festival. Are you not taking part in the internships?”

Bakugou noticed Artemis’s pale face twist into a grimace. He could practically hear the gears in her head grinding to come up with a satisfactory explanation as to why she’d been excluded by Aizawa’s orders without giving away too much. Suddenly, her eyes lit up with that usual calculating glint that meant she was about to tell a lie. “She was excluded because she got hurt and wouldn't listen or take care of herself,” Bakugou snapped before she could open her mouth.

A wave of satisfaction washed over him as he watched Artemis’s face fall. She glared at him. Ha. Did she really think she could make fun of him without him firing back? No way in hell.

But now that he was looking at her properly, he noticed the dark circles under her eyes. Was it just his imagination, or had they gotten worse since he’d last seen her? He’d have thought that having no school or training would force her to rest. Unless…

Had she gone against the doctor’s orders again?

“It’s nothing. Everyone’s making too much of a fuss,” Artemis said.

She shifted on the spot, and the wince that came across her face had Baugou growling under his breath. Before he could snap at her, Best Jeanist reached out and grabbed her by the arm, steadying her as she wobbled on her feet.

“A wounded Hero who doesn't take care of themselves isn't much use on the field. Surely you know that by now, young lady,” Best Jeanist scolded gently. “UA wouldn't suspend you from the course if the injury wasn’t serious. Where do you live? Is there a guardian who can come and collect you?”

Artemis froze, then took a deep breath. Bakugou could almost see the steel growing in her spine as she forced herself to straighten up, every trace of discomfort melting from her face.

“Thank you for your concern, but I’m doing just fine. I’m afraid my parents aren't available at the moment.” While her tone of voice seemed polite and unbothered to someone who didn't know her, Bakugou could feel the bite beneath those words.

He frowned. No matter how many times he tried to wrap his mind around the enigma that was Artemis Moon, he could never quite understand who or what she truly was.

A thick silence followed as Best Jeanist gave the girl a good look over. Then he sighed deeply and reached out, taking the groceries out of her hands before handing them to Bakugou. He shot Jeanist a confused look. What was he supposed to do with them?

“Very well,” the Pro Hero said. “Unfortunately, I cannot permit you to walk home by yourself in your condition. Bakugou, your last task for today is to get this young lady home. I shall see you tomorrow in my agency.”

“What?” Bakugou and Artemis said in unison.

“Why the hell would I do that?” Bakugou snapped.

Artemis didn't seem pleased either.

“A Hero's duty is to make sure citizens are safe. She is a citizen. Make sure she's safe. Or are you refusing a task that I’m giving you, knowing full well I can fail you?”

Best Jeanist gave Bakugou a stern look. Rage flared up in those crimson eyes, but instead of throwing a fit, the boy took a deep breath and muttered something under his breath.

“Fine,” he growled, grabbing Artemis’s wrist. “Get moving, then!”

The Pro Hero gave a soft chuckle as he watched the two of them stomp off. Even he had picked up the concern in Bakugou’s eyes when he’d noticed the girl wasn't well. Maybe some time alone would help them get along a little better.

Besides, now that he’d given Bakugou a task of his own, he could get some actual work done.

Important Asks/Interesting Theories

Beware, this post is filled with spoilers for Zemblanity! Read after you’ve finished the main series, as it’s constructed so that everything makes sense in the end. But if you’re still curious or confused, here’s the guide you need!

Be sure to look at the date of when any of the asks were posted before you send me a new one saying ‘but this isn’t possible because [insert reasoning here]’ especially for the theories. I tried to put a ‘Prior to’ section for all of them but yeahhhhh just check the dates.

So these were originally individual asks on my blog but I got rather lazy to reblog and tag everything (and I’m kind of afraid of hitting the post limit again), so I’ll just type them out here.

Table of Contents so You Don’t Have to Keep Scrolling:

Asks About Zemblanity in Case You Are Confused

Confused about the timelines?

So if TL8 Ten and TL9 Ten merged that means they have the same memories and behaviors? That’s why he remembered to save (Y/N)?

Does jumping from timeline to timeline affect Sector V? For all timelines is there only one Sector V?

So why are (Y/N)’s dreams a thing?

Can you explain the whole TL8 Ten getting sent back to TL9 and everything that resulted?

So why does Kunhang want to drown the system?

So is Yangyang actually in love with (Y/N) or is it just infatuation?

[Not an Ask] Regarding the Dream Sequences in Zemblanity

Interesting Theories About Zemblanity

{Prior to TWN4} Mark Lee is the True Culprit (Personal Favorite of Mine)

{Prior to TIR0} Maybe Yangyang is the best friend in Ch. 4’s dreams…

{Prior to TIR1} Maybe Xiaojun is the best friend in Ch. 4’s dreams…

{Prior to TIR2} Maybe (Y/N) and Ten coming up to the moon in 2004 was a lie?

{Prior to TIR4} Maybe (Y/N)’s dreams aren’t hers and she’s living through someone else’s memories?

{Prior to TIR4} Hendery might have gotten into an accident that involved severe burns…

{Prior to TIR5} Xuxi’s definitely the man in Chapter 2’s dream sequences

{Prior to Chapter 5} Xiaojun knows everything

{Prior to Chapter 5} Xiaojun is the man in the Newton’s Cradle dream

{Prior to TWN5} Hendery definitely has D.I.D.

{Prior to Chapter 6} The Dream Guy in Chapter 5 is Hendery

{Prior to Chapter 6} The Multiple Timeline Theory (Note that many people contributed to these so they may not be consistent)

{Prior to Chapter 7 and TWN6} The Matrix Theory

{Prior to Chapter 7’s Release} Maybe Xiaojun’s the Inmate in TIR6

{Prior to Chapter 8’s Release} The inmate from 2022 (mentioned in TIR6 and TIR8) is Ten

Special Questions

So, what happened to the 2004 Flight Records?

Who was the eighth inmate who killed himself?

Asks About Zemblanity in case you are confused

Confused about the timelines?

Q: Hi, i hope you get this question because it's the first time I'm asking something on Tumblr (I've been here for like a month or so 😅). And I hope I don't annoy with this question or maybe someone asked this already but what about the TL6? Chapter 8 honestly got me so confused that I locked up who belongs to which Timeline and I think we got like 9? TL1-5 is Kun, Xuxi, Xiaojun, Sicheng, Hendery. TL7 is Yangyang and TL8&9 is Ten because they got merged??

A: Hi there!! Welcome to tumblr! I’m honored to be your first ask, love ❤️ Also, fear not, asks never annoy me, I’m actually quite fond of them, because if one person is a bit confused, chances are others are too. Plus, I love to hear from my readers! No one has asked yet, so I don’t mind answering your question! To break it down, the timelines are as follows:

TL1 - Kun TL2 - Xuxi TL3 - Xiaojun TL4 - Sicheng TL5 - Guanheng (Hendery/Kunhang) TL6 - Ten (inmate Ten from TL8) TL7 - Yangyang TL8 - The events prior to Zemblanity, Sector V is established, all 7 members of WayV are inmates. Ten has memories from both TL6 and TL8 TL9 - Main Zemblanity timeline. TL8 Ten is sent back in time within the Warden’s lifespan and merges with TL9 Ten as a result, he loses his memories and starts life again from the age 8 and retains memories from TL9 Ten up to that point.

So technically Ten has been through three timelines (6, 8, 9) Good for him.

So if TL8 Ten and TL9 Ten merged that means they have the same memories and behaviors? That’s why he remembered to save (Y/N)?

Q: question questiooon hehe did tl8 ten and tl9 ten merged?? Like their memories and behavior?? Thats why he remembered to save (y/n) and yet has a different behavior?

A: Yeah basically.

When the Warden sent Ten back during his (the Warden’s) lifetime, Ten ended up replacing TL9’s Ten, or merging, as you called it. Luckily due to Ten’s lack of memories of TL8 it wasn’t a horrible merge, and it allowed him to grow up completely differently than he did in TL8. I’d say that he just wanted to save (Y/N) cuz bestie things, but maybe there was a hidden subconscious feeling of “I must protect this girl with my life”

I could be wrong, but I think I once mentioned how (Y/N) felt that Ten was rather overprotective of her.

Does jumping from timeline to timeline affect Sector V? For all timelines is there only one Sector V?

Q: another question hehe so jumping from timeline to timeline and changing things doesnt affect sector v?? Like for all timelines there is only 1 sector v?? As in it merges all timelines??

A: [I kind of worded this one weirdly in the original post, so let me rewrite it a little]

How I wrote it in my outline, verbatim, is “Due to Sector V being a locating where neither time nor reality follow their set laws, it remains independent of the other timelines, this allows people of other timelines to be able to walk amongst each other without dire consequence. Although it may sometimes pick up on rifts within the timelines closest to it.”

Amendment: So basically it is entirely possible for another to exist, as long as their timelines aren’t right next to each other (as in there aren’t too many major events, or even small choices that overlap or are similar within both timelines).

Amendment: But when someone, in this case Ten, who is closely linked to the Sector is purposely messing with people who are associated with it (since he was jumping into timelines the inmates were in), this causes the rifts in the Sector.

So why are (Y/N)’s dreams a thing?

Q: OH. so the dreams y/n got while inside the sector were caused by ten jumping thru the timelines??? i guess that would explain why the very last ones she had were of ten in that dark ass room..... but now i cant stop thinking abt how yangyang keeps trying to kill xiaojun because he probably did kill his timeline's xiaojun and now i wanna know yy's story

A: I originally answered this one prior to the story being finished, so allow me to amend this one too.

Yup yup! Our boy royally FUCKED up the timelines.

Amendment: I based this off of the old saying that Dreams are windows to other versions of ourselves, past, present, future, other dimensions, etc. Basically, Ten was trying to merge the timelines enough to get into one of these dreams to communicate with (Y/N), but by the time he succeeded he ended up ripping the fabric of time enough so that (Y/N) was able to talk to the other inmates long before she even got trapped in the Sector.

Also, since this ask spoke about the dreams, the dreams are direct reflections of that inmate’s state of mind. Do with that what you will.

Can you explain the whole TL8 Ten getting sent back to TL9 and everything that resulted?

Q: my brain hurts 🤠 so serial killer ten was sent back in time (and to another timeline?) and had his memories erased... and then he jumped thru timelines to get back to a time before y/n died.... so he can help y/n get out..... 🤠 i'll just go listen to domino on repeat call me when yall are done killing poor y/n HSNSJSJ

A: Time is such a kunfusing kuncept (😀) but that’s pretty much it yeah. If you want the full thing…

So Ten was sent back in time, however in order to keep some events of the timeline (in this case the Sector, the Station, etc.) the Warden sent him back to a time during his lifetime and due to some timey wimey bull shit this not only caused Ten to lose his memories but also caused him to become significantly younger. Hence why he and (Y/N) have memories of them being younger, because they actually did grow up together.

Later in the story, Ten did travel to six different timelines, all in order to establish that side effect connection that results from fucking with the timelines to get in contact with (Y/N), all of which were both unsuccessful and resulted in (Y/N) being linked to the inmates instead (hence the dreams). The original plan was for him to establish a stable connection with (Y/N) since the server in the Sector is blocked and nearly impossible to get into from the outside and tell her how to get out from there, but we all saw how that ended up 🙃

So why does Kunhang want to drown the system?

Q: “So it’s safe to say that it is this alter who I see trying to drown the body.” IM SCREAMING- WHO IS TRYING TO DO W H A T?! OOOH. WOW. I-

A: The definition of a persecutor, to put it in simple terms, is a “misguided protector.” They typically hold the more traumatic memories of the body that the other alters or the host don’t. Often times the persecutors see it as it’s them against the system (in this case Kunhang against the other alters), and they see things as “oh, the abuser can’t do this to me if I do it myself” then it gets worse from there. Often times they punish the body (and by extension the other alters) by making them relive the trauma. (Note that it’s very rare for Persecutors to take their anger out on other people, it happens, but it’s rare, often times the rage is turned against the system)

So knowing that it’s Kunhang who forces the body to drown…. do with that what you may.

Amendment: In greater context of the story it’s explained in his ending that he was kidnapped and held for ransom by the rivaling kingdom and upon his return it was discovered that he developed DID while in captivity.

Of course through therapy they can be taught that what they’re doing is wrong, which is what we see through Kunhang present day. But yeahhhhhhh

Poor Guanheng :(

So is Yangyang actually in love with (Y/N) or is it just infatuation?

Q: So is Yangyang actually in love with her or is it just infatuation? Ik you said you've changed it a lot but still,,, also the way the only named connections towards Yangyang are "avoid at all costs", "weirded out", and "doesn't want to die" is both scary and amusing

A: When I first drafted Zemblanity (yes there is a first draft that you guys will likely never see) it was pure, unabashed infatuation. In the first draft I actually planned for each inmate to have a certain type of complex (god complex, father complex, etc.) but I figured the topic was both too information loaded and delicate to write about accurately in a fanfiction (I’m already juggling enough with the mental disorders, I’m planning to minor in psychology so I’ve taken a few of the classes before, so I luckily have notes from there I can turn to, all I need is some brushing up) Yangyang’s complex involved him seeking the need for stability, so at the time it was indeed just pure infatuation with no feelings of actual love.

Now it’s a bit different, I can’t give you the full answer for obvious reasons, but I will say he does feel genuine love for (Y/N), and so do the rest of the inmates, there are a few things attached to that genuine love though, but then again who doesn’t have some strings attached. The only thing that separates love from infatuation are those extra things hanging on to the feelings, after all.

Amendment: So now that the series is over, I can explain in full detail. Basically it’s some form of guilt that Yangyang felt, which is explained in his ending. And it was also the need to get closure for how she died, a mix of both. His mental state has already been in disarray, so when (Y/N) showed up at the Sector I think it’s safe to say it wholly broke. And it became something of “I knew she was still alive.”

Also yeah that’s what happens when you’re tipsy and story boarding at the same time, you come up with interesting character relationships lol 😂

[Not an Ask] Regarding the Dream Sequences in Zemblanity

One would do well to distinguish which dream sequences happen real time and which ones happened in the past. In this case I’ll spell it out easy peasy, each dream sequence that is happening real time is linked by one deciding factor: Ten. Often times he’s in the background and is described as trying to tell (Y/N) something important, but she can’t understand him.

Otherwise, the dream sequence happened in the past with exception of Kun’s dream sequences in Chapter 1, which happened real time.

Interesting Theories About Zemblanity

{Prior to TWN4} Mark Lee is the True Culprit (Personal Favorite of Mine)

Theory: Okay so like I know we're all tossing out Zemblanity theories but like consider this: Who was the one who was in charge of all the years? Who else do we know has access to a computer? Who else is associated to (Y/N). That's right. Mark Lee.

Response: THE WAY I CACKLED WHEN I READ THIS

That’s it. Anon figured it out. I gotta rewrite all of Zemblanity now

I’m joking of course but this is TOO FUCKING FUNNY I 😂😂 YOU GUYS ARE SO CREATUVE

Was it Correct? As expected, no.

{Prior to TIR0} Maybe Yangyang is the best friend in Ch. 4’s dreams…

T: Lmaoo my theory is that YangYang was the best friend and whoever he murdered was the boyfriend of y/n. Hes severely mentally unstable so thats possibly why he is projecting the image of that person onto Xiaojun and why he hates him so much. Thats why he knows so much about y/n and why he had her locket.... he was also quite abusive to y/n. Maybe she had her memories of him erased somehow but he feels she abandoned him personally and thats why he tied her up??? Hmmm. Just a theory though

R: But that’s just a theory! A Zemblanity theory! Thanks for reading!

God I hope at least some of y’all get the reference

I will say, you’re not too far off the mark, but you’re not 100% there either. 👀

WIC? Not completely. They did get Yangyang being the best friend correct and that he murdered (Y/N)’s toxic boyfriend (who just happened to be Xiaojun). But that’s about it, and I applaud you on getting that close!

{Prior to TIR1} Maybe Xiaojun is the best friend in Ch. 4’s dreams…

T: OKAY HEAR ME OUT: I think is the case as to why Xiaojun and Yang² hate each other (apart from the theories I left under chp 4). I really think that Xiaojun was actually her best friend and that he helped her out of her relationship with Yang²... and I think Yang² said "he hurt her" cause hes lowkey delusional? And psychotic so he thinks everyone's put to get him. As for Ten, he needed to be her best friend since Xiaojun is an inmate WHICH IS WHY THERES NO RECORDS OF THE DAY SHE CAME TO THE MOON

R: Interesting theory, but like the others, not too far off the mark, but not quite there. Also the lack of records of the day she went to the moon, there’s a reason, but that’s not quite the reason, ahhh that’s confusing but it’s the only way I can say it without revealing too much.

Hint: Look back at the Warden’s Notes, I usually drop spoilers in them on accident and I just forget to delete it

WIC? Ah, Vicky, Vicky, Vicky, you’re gonna give me a run for my money some day. You were SO close I got scared, haha. But, sadly, incorrect. Yangyang was the best friend and Xiaojun was the toxic boyfriend. As for the records part, I thought I left enough evidence for y’all to figure out, but I suppose not.

{Prior to TIR2} Maybe (Y/N) and Ten coming up to the moon in 2004 was a lie?

T: maybe y/n and ten being brought to the moon when they were very little was a lie and thats why the records for 2004 arent there 🤡 im just a simple dumbass i'll just wait until someone smarter puts together a sound theory HSNSKS ALSO ALSO ateez concepts are always so cool i 😔🥺 always my faves

R: Awww but you’re plenty smart, love 🥺 the fact that you can put together even the smallest theory is amazing!!!

But I acknowledge your theory and will put it up like the rest ❤️

WIC? Sadly, no. And I think I should just say it at this point and ruin the spoiler but hmm... I’ll put it at the end, how about that?

{Prior to TIR4} Maybe (Y/N)’s dreams aren’t hers and she’s living through someone else’s memories?

T: WAIT CRYS- WAIIIIT WAIIIIIT WAIIIIT.... okay okay okay are the dreams or memories that appear in the chapters uniquely Yn's? 👁👄👁 (please donr make me feel like a clown cause 😣✌🏾). This is me b4 you answer my last ask BUT what if the memories arent... hers.... what if most of the inmates had girlfriends and for those who committed murder, it was linked to the s/o..? Since Kun has OCD it would explain some questionable and almost controlling behaviour towards a lover and same applies to Yang². Just a thought. A far fetched thought that doesnt make sense (not to add but if Xuxi had a lover, kidnapping would apply to the s/o or another party 👀) ✌🏾... so uh again just a thought... the memories arent... lets say consistent(?). Lkke in one of them, shes a secretary, in the other shes a teacher... okay I'm really gonna go with the theory I had. What if the dreams arent hers? Let's remember she and Ten dont have recollecting of coming to the Moon... and in that one Wardens Note Ten was shocked about info he learned at the end... I'm lost lmao. The memories arent hers, in each chapter theres a memory that may(be) include a character which is why the person is never mentioned. Another thing is that in some of the memories, she explicitly says that she has no control over what shes saying or doing which means that they happened in the past and since she has no recollection of them happening, theres a strong chance that shes experiencing it for the first time... which means that she is experiencing the dream through the original person 🤡

R: I had such half assed responses to these so lets just not type those out--

WIC? No, but also a little. The concept is there, but not really. But you were on the right track with Kun and Yangyang. But this did come out before we established that multiple timelines are a thing in Zemblanity, so I liked where you were going with this one! Technically, the memories aren’t hers, but at the same time they are.

{Prior to TIR4} Hendery might have gotten into an accident that involved severe burns…

T: Actually, I think Hendery got in a severe accident that involved 1st degree burns... and I read somewhere that if you get burned that you should put the wound underwater for 20 mins or waiting for paramedics (I'm waiting til you debunk this hehe) sO then baby was burned and since they in space... you know- gravity! And then since gravity is there, he needs to stay underwater so that he doesnt die cause of his burns 🤠

R: I mean, yes? Like medically yeah it’s best to put burns underwater as soon as you can (cold water preferably) but imagine having to stay underwater for 16 hours for a burn?I like it.HENDERY SWEETIE TOUCH THE STOVE-

WIC? Nah.

{Prior to TIR5} Xuxi’s definitely the man in Chapter 2’s dream sequences

T: OKAY SO LIKE- I'm positive of one of two things, the second chapter dream is (Y/n) and Xuxi cause in the interrogation room part 4, he mentioned how his wife is clumsy and that they havent been married for long and in that memory, the invisible person said how (Y/n) was clumsy and she mentioned how they were waiting to start a family which is a hint that they're married. So I'm pretty sure (watch me be wrong) that Xuxi was the invisible person in Chapter 2 illuding to yn being his wife now ----- but now wouldnt that mean that (Y/n)'s dead since she killed herself? Now listen, we all remember that theory of it being multiple versions of her being with all the inmates right? Well let's say that that theory is true, we basically have some sort of evidence illuding to that. Both versions so far of the wife/girlfriend has died and if it's all those timelines crashed together, itll make sense as to why they all know her (one way or another)... 👁👄👁

R: Ooooh interesting, alright how about the other dreams now 😗 I’m interested in this theory, That is also true, according to the basic logic of the multiple lives/timelines theory

But is it what’s happening in Zemblanity?😗

WIC? Yup. I actually never intended for the dreams to be purposely hidden, like literally the dreams subjects are who’s featured in the chapter HAHA but yeah. The only thing off about the theory is the last part tbh.

{Prior to Chapter 5} Xiaojun knows everything

T: Okay so the girl always dies and there has to be something about her that warrants that. Xiaojun said he knows/remembers more than the other inmates so that could be what he is holding back from the warden.. Maybe he knows the reason why? Maybe he has some other information? All I know is, from what we've learned, Xiaojun really did do "what he had to do" and there has to be some other thing he did that would have warranted him going to Sector V because that can't be it.

R: Maybe so 😗

But that will be revealed with time

WIC? Xiaojun does know what happened in the last timeline, so whatever he learned back there transferred over. So yeah, kind of

{Prior to Chapter 6} The Dream Guy in Chapter 5 is Hendery

T: the dream guy in chapter 5 is hendery cuz the dreams seem royal-ish and the guy gave me “prince” feels and technically hendery’s a prince so yeah. and he said his true self will be hiding behind a facade and hendery seems like he has a split personality. so basically he got his new personality by repressing memories of (y/n) (he was the only one who seem to not know (y/n) when they met). and also the way the “king/prince” said “Don’t.” (tea scenario) and hendery said “Don’t” gave me chills

R: Nice catch 😏 I’ll admit you’re on the same path as many other readers, very good 👍

WIC? Yuuup.

{Prior to Chapter 6} The Multiple Timeline Theory (Note that many people contributed to these so they may not be consistent)

T1: So like my theory is that the boys had met (y/n) in different timelines?? Like for example Kun is timeline 1, and (y/n) had died there??? — jongin smth. And theen on her next time line— she met lucas idk its smth like reincarnation or just like because sector v has a unique time and reality. Like they all lived in different realities but sector v connects all of those realities— in which (y/n) was also in. And another theory (since best friend and boyfriend conflict goes on throughout the previous chapters) each wayv member is like the bestfriend or boyfriend of (y/n) each timeline— like ten in this present timeline Buuuut i cant explain why yangyang is the one on 7th timeline whilst ten was currently the one (y/n) knows personally

Add on: I was reading anons theory and I was thinking the same thing. Because time is different In the sector that allows them to be in the same timeline. (Think ATEEZ new concept where they all knew each other but got separated, but are coming together again.) This would also explain all of the different voices that Y/N hears and how in the warden noted that Ten is starting to piece things together.

R: (½) I said this in the previous post but I actually really like this theory, it’s a very interesting take on what’s going on. Posting this one first so it appears below the first part!! Ooooh this one’s different from the ones I’ve read so far, I like where you’re going with this one anon, props to you for cutting from a different fabric!

Ooooh and the theory deepens, you guys are so creative I love it 🥰

WIC? Not far off the mark, but not a bullseye.

{Prior to Chapter 8’s Release} The inmate from 2022 (mentioned in TIR6 and TIR8) is Ten

T1: So I wanted to write it in the comments but I have an idea and wanted to write "directly" (I also don't use ask option a lot so also It will be multiple part so sorry 🥺🙏) I got a sudden idea while looking at the dates of the newest interrogation room and the dates of when the Inmates were brought to Sector V and... I think I got something... Kun, who was the first one to come to sector V, first came in February but the Interrogation takes place in January and a whole ass moth before it.

So I came to a sudden realization that there was a 7th Inmate who allegedly killed himself. And then my mind made a connection to Ten who in the MV and promotion shots was shown to have the same V tattoo as the others. Could it be that Ten was the original Inmate? It would kinda add up i think. Like there is a possibility that The Warden (our Father) was fed up with him and killed him but filed it in reports as a suicide.

It could be that it isn't our Ten because if my Multiverse Theory is right that would open a lot of possibilities. It could be a wierd coincidence to have two Ten's in the same Building (not that I'm complaining) so it could be less likely. But I have two versions of the theory. The second being that neither Ten or we have a recollection of how and why we were brought to the moon station. Which in on itself is pretty fishy. But to assume for a second that Ten was convinced of Murder...

And maybe he was tortured to the point of amnesia and/or memory loss and then tossed out of the Sector with some false memories but somewhere in his head he “remembers” (something like deja vu) about what happened “last time” and when she wants to meet the others he tries to prevent it.

Underneath there, somewhere in his mind he knows what he did wrong and tries to prevent it from happening again. He knows that whatever happened to us can happen again if we meet the others. Or we are all in a loop and Ten is like Sans from Undertale and knows it all and has godlike powers. Idk mate it's 1 Am in Germany and I'm basically sleeping at this point. But remember it's just a theory. A Zembalty Theory. (hopefully I wrote it right) also sorry for spamming your inbox 🙏🥺Love you

R: Yessssss, also I like this theory, more answers will be revealed soon.

That is true 👀 But if I recall correctly, I believe it was the eighth inmate that offend himself 🤔 but it is an interesting theory, I’ll give you that.

I have grown very fond of the multiverse theory, there’s a lot of space for it to grow. But as for your second theory it would tie in the missing files from both 2004 and 2019 😗

WIC? Ten was, indeed, the original inmate. Also I did allude to their being a “time loop” of sorts in much of Xiaojun’s parts.

T2: Theory time hehehe The inmate from 2022 was actually Ten- and he was bargaining with (y/n)’s father (who i assumed did not die in the original timeline) for smth (like he requested Ten to go back in time since he mentioned that Ten figured out a way to travel through time) *i connected the time paradox here wherein one goes back in time so things change in the future.

But then Ten betrayed the previous warden and killed him (past of warden)— thats why his death is still a mystery—- and this leads to the current timeline where Ten becomes the warden instead of (y/n)’s father living up till 2022— and this also leads to Ten not knowing what he did on the other “future” and probably not being a criminal— (but that would also mean the deal wont happen right? Idk anymore)

and probably the old warden requested him to go back to 2004??? “As long as you refrain from killing anyone else, you should be fine, I’m sure you’ll remember at least that much.” Also take note of this— its like if Ten* refrains from killinganyone else from the past then he’ll remember atleast some parts of their deal when the future changes

So ye this is me trying to understand the masterpiece called Zemblanity. Kudos to you for making my brain active during quarantine 🥰

oof i forgot a detail —- thats why Ten (as (y/n)’s bestfriend and warden) doubts if he could even trust himself— and why his populace records is a mystery to (y/n) Anyways thank you for taking your time to read these! 🥰☺️

R: Now this is a theory I enjoy! Very well thought out, but I must say, although it hasn’t been explicitly stated I assume is implicitly understood, the Warden has some control over the timelines considering that each inmate is, theoretically, from a different timeline. For Ten to be able to do it, assuming he is the unknown inmate, he would have to have already gained the status of Warden, which is impossible considering that the old Warden is still alive.

Ah yes, a classic time paradox, we certainly love those, don’t we? If only we were at that part in Zemblanity where the rules of Time were strictly laid out, but alas, we are not. So for now we will settle for this paradox that if Ten was thrown back in time and killed the Warden, the conversation will never have taken place, and Ten would have never, theoretically, been sent back in time.But then again if the Warden wasn’t killed and the conversation did take place, that would establish an entire time loop, wouldn’t it? Just Ten constantly going back to 2004 and reliving everything only to be sent back again, and again, I wonder what needs to be done differently, hmm…

This is a possibility, and I was going to mention it in the (2) of this ask, but I actually found that it would make more sense to put it in here. If Ten was, theoretically, sent back in time, how would you explain (Y/N) and Ten having memories of when they were toddlers? Assuming you’re intending that if Ten was sent back in time he’d still be a full age adult.

It’s no problem, I’m trying my best to keep your minds sharp while we all spend our days in our homes hehe… Ohhh and thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy my little (okay actually huge) story of Zemblanity!!!

This is a theory I like a lot, I can tell you put a lot of thought into it! But it would explain why there are some lapses in Ten’s judgment as to who he can trust, and it would also explain why (Y/N) had to search up Ten’s name in her Records database

WIC? Actually, this is probably the closest one to the truth anyone has ever gotten. Props to you, anon!

T3: Did they agree to have Ten stay out of it so he was there to protect YN since none of them could do it cause they clingy af and would of started a war and killed each other 👀🙊 and cause they mental health is deteriorating more and more in the Sector they willing to throw Ten out the way to get her back 🤔🤔🤔

AAAAAAALSO!!!!! Rereading the Warden Notes, there was mentioned of 8 inmates but the 8th killed himself so it was decided to be maxed out at 7.......who be the 7th inmate..... I swear tf if I'm right about Ten imma be needing at least 4 bottles of wine to cope, however if I'm wrong! I'm still gonna need them 🙊 (I'm so sorry, these were all EUREKA moments.....i didn't mean to spam)

R: Ooh I like this one, but I do have to say why Ten? But if this is true, I’d argue that either Kun or Hendery could’ve done it too, Kun’s a patient character and Hendery’s pretty chill. Plus according to the story line Ten and (Y/N) came when they were toddlers and both have memories of such, hmm…. 🤔

FOUR BOTTLES AHAHAHAHA. Also noooo I don’t mind spam at all, love, so don’t worry ❤️ But yes I do acknowledge that I wrote that the Sector is maxed out at 7 but I will also say that it doesn’t necessarily mean that there were seven at the start of the story 👀

WIC? Sadly, no :(

Special Questions

So... what happened to the 2004 Flight Records?

To put it simply, the Warden (Park Hyunjun) destroyed them. The Sector works in strange ways, as seen when the tapes from TL8 transferred over to TL9 for (Y/N) to see them. This is a special power of the Warden, the ability to allow items to transcend different timelines, which is only possible in Sector V (due to it’s independence of most of the rules of time). During his final negotiation with TL8 Ten, prior to sending him back in time to prevent the total destruction of the moon colony, he implies that he’d leave everything in place for the paradox item to find it’s way to Ten, and he’d keep him under watch.

However, Ten didn’t come to the moon in 2004. Now this is on me, I never explicitly said it, only left clues for it to be found. The records were damaged, but why? Every inmate has access to the Records room, but none have an incentive to destroy it, except for the one person it would apply to, in this case Ten. The Warden is implied to have special abilities in the Moon Colony, usually to prioritize the greater good of the Colony (i.e. calling the shots for executions, destroying cards, withholding evidence, etc.)

Now, TL9 Ten couldn’t have destroyed the records, why would he? But, I’ve mentioned on occassion that Ten was “always at war with himself” and, I quote from Ch. 1, “Sometimes [he has] to remind [himself] that [he’s] the Warden.”

There isn’t significant evidence that Ten wasn’t on that flight, but on the other hand there isn’t evidence that he was. All we have to go off of is the damaged flight records and what the Warden said in his tapes prior to being killed.

Do with that what you may.

Who was the eighth inmate who killed himself?

Sadly, no one actually important to the main story. He was just there so I can establish why there were only six inmates in the Sector at the beginning of Zemblanity, and why Ten was able to get convicted in there after the fact.

What about 2019′s records?

That was just a way to throw you all off, haha, it seemed like it worked. I never said that there weren’t any 2019 records, they were just tampered with and Mark had to reenter them, and I’ve long established that their Supervisor tends to make them work more since he’s that shitty a person.

He’ll probably be known as “Cosmo the Swingin’ Cat”. He doesn’t have a role yet, but everyone likes his presence and to hear some of his stories from the country. He is good with the kittens, being sort of a big kitten himself.

Who are their best friends? You can include characters from the show or tag other people’s OC’s. How popular are they?

He's sort of popular. His main friends that he made have been Bastion, Damus, Hayato and Coquette and Marikit. But it's safe to say that he's made friends with nearly everyone, some are interested in him because of his accent and that he lacks a tail.

What is their favorite food? Do they prefer human food or something they’ve hunted?

He likes chicken and eggs, but isnt picky either. He used to live in the backwoods of the country, so he knows how to hunt. But hell get away with a bit of begging when he wants a taste of human food.

Do they have any accessories? Scars? Why or why not?

He wears suspenders and baggy pants along with a newsboy cap hat.

What style of dance do they work best in?

Tap dance and swing

Do they have any sort of magic? Do they fear magic?

He was a little scared at first because he had never seen magic or grew up with it before. But now he is really enchanted by it.

Any fears?

He is of birds. The big ones in particular like hawks and owls. He saw one snatch up an older cat across the street where he used to live one day as a kitten and it has haunted him ever since.

Do they believe in love? If so, what is their “type” and how do they act when they are in love? If not, then why?

He is a romantic at heart, so he believes in love. When he is in love, he tries to hide his face with his hat from how big and goofy he's smiling.

Do they personally know anyone who has gone up to the Heaviside layer? Do they believe in the Heaviside?

No he doesn't. He never even heard about the Heaviside Layer. When he does, he sometimes thinks that his Ma and Pa might be there.

Any passions or hobbies? (Ex: Dance, hunting, etc)

Besides dancing, he likes to do woodwork making all kinds of figures.

If a song was sung about them at the Jellicle Ball, what would it be about?

It would be about Cosmo and his voyage from the states to England and would definitely have swing kind of music. He would sing about his life on the countryside and his adventures going from boats to planes to trains traveling across the sea to where he is now.

What are their thoughts on some of the main characters in the show? (Ex: Tugger, Munk, Jenny, you get to choose!)

It's safe to say he likes nearly everyone. He likes to talk to Skimbleshanks and Jenny; they remind him of his parents. He's friends with Alonzo and Plato and Tumblebrutus. He finds Tugger a little strange, but he doesn't think badly of him.

Do they have any secrets they are hiding?

None

Questionnaire 2

What are they like on the outside?

He’s a polite, happy-go-lucky gentleman who kind of has a flirtatious streak, but is also very curious and adventurous when it comes to new surroundings.

How do others perceive them?

Some might of him as a childish hick or a shameless flirt who knows nothing about the world around him and doesn’t know when he is being taken advantage of.

What are they actually like on the inside? Are they similar to how they are on the outside, or totally different?

he is a little bit of both because in some ways, they way some see him is completely true. But he is actually smarter than he looks and is more sensitive to other's feelings than some think. He knows that some things that he says come out a different kind of way, but he means no harm and thinks anyone should be treated the way he'd want to be treated.

How many cats truly know who they are on the inside? Does your character often show who they truly are?

He is an open book. He doesnt hide anything about him.

What makes your character appealing to other cats? What reason do others have to like them?

A lot of cats like to hear him talk because of his accent and him having no tail is a conversation starter. He will joke about having no tail and make up a story about how he lost it.

What flaws does your character have? Do they give anyone any reason to dislike them?

He is a bit gullible and can be tricked easily when not paying attention to his surroundings. Sometimes things that he says sounds more like flirting than what he thinks is a compliment and that gets him in trouble sometimes.

Can they fight?

He can. But even with how toned he is in some areas, he has a lean build, so he’s not too strong

Do they often get into fights? What do they get into fights over?

No. He tries not to get into fights, but he will if necessary

Who are their parents? Are they alive? Do we know what they are like personality wise? Does your character have any sort of contact with them?

His Ma and Pa have passed away a long time ago of old age, but he knows they’re in a better place.

Do they have any siblings or other relatives?

He has no other siblings, but considers the neighbourhood cats back home part of his family.

(If they have a home) How did they end up in their current home? (If they’re a stray) How did they end up on the streets?

He has no current home as of yet. He has just been sleeping wherever it was dry and safe. Hes been sleeping in a wood box outside of a restaurant for the time being.

What was their childhood like?

He was born a stray living with his Ma' and Pa' in a barn next to wildlife in the American countryside. He was taught how to hunt and dance, but was also taught manners and being a good tom. It was a laidback life on the farm and going into the human town, but out in the woods was pretty tough and you had to always be on your guard.

What was the worst experience they ever had to go through, in their opinion?

2 experiences. one being when he saw the hawk catch his neighbor up as a kid. And the other where he wasn’t paying attention and was nearly stomped on by a farm bull.

Do they potentially have a crush or a mate? Have they ever been in love?

He comes to like Marikit (another friends oc from discord) when he first arrives. He has had a few crushes, but they were from as a kitten. He a little embarrassed by it now, but one time when he was younger he tried to put the moves on a fox whom he thought was another cat. but he soon realized what she was and was kinda interrupting her waiting for someone else.

Who do they look up to?

Besides his parents, he looked up to his neighbor who was an old cat before he was snatched away.

Greatest achievement?

He thinks with how much he has traveled without getting thrown off is a pretty good accomplishment. He also feels kinda proud that he rode on a running horse once (even though him and his claws were the reason it was running in a frenzy)

Do they have any pet peeves?

Not really.

How do they react to a compliment? An insult?

To a compliment, he's pretty humble, but depending on the cat, he’d try not to get too flustered and grin like an idiot. To an insult, he's not one to get too upset about things, but if it does too far and if it's someone else getting the flack, that would be enough to get him pissed off.

What are they best at?

Dancing, Singing, Woodcrafting, Sneaking and Begging

What do they often fail at?

He might take a joke too far or too long, so he ends up apologizing.

What assumptions do others make about them and how does your oc react to them?

Some might label him as a dumb, naive hick while others see him as a very sweet and energetic guy to be around.

How many languages do they speak? Do they have an accent?

He can only speak english. And he has a southern accent.

Do they label their sexuality? (Pan, Gay, straight, etc)

Male, Bisexual

What is their ‘outlet’? How do they express themselves?

Woodwork and working with metal. Besides wood dolls, he has little side projects of sculptures or figures made out of metal. They take a while to make though so he only has a few completed.

Are they secretly worried about anything? (Worried about a friend, the future, family, etc.

He's thinks about the neighbor's and other animal friends back at home and worries about their well being sometimes. He might want to visit back once in a while.

(Extra, for the creator)

Are you currently in a rp with your oc?

yes!

Why did you decide to make an oc?

I thought it would be cute to have a little country bumpkin-like cat from overseas visiting London

How did you pick their name?

No particular reason. Mostly because I thought it sounded funny and fitting for him and his personality

Are they modeled off any specific breed?

Yes! After a tortoiseshell manx cat

Why did you pick that design for them?

Because I wanted to make a cat who would joke around about having no tail.

--- Yup. people are probably sick of it by now, but heres some more Cats oc’s in your face! both questionnares belong to @magical-marvelous-mistoffelees

so i woke up this morning (so apologies if i sound a bit off or groggy in this haha) but i awoke to a lot of posts discussing about “drama” and speciffically first saw @turquoisemagpie ‘s geniuinely curious post about the community’s status.

i’ll start off by saying 1) im also genuinely curious about all this. i care about this community and ive been in the tumblr one specifically for 4 years now, and this seems to be the first anomaly ive seen in my time here that hasn’t been one off but “underlying”.

2) im human, lol. i’ll be honest, ive never gotten involved with stuff like this (the only one i think would barely count was when the community was debating over anti’s portrayal back in december 2017). this is just what i think in as objective and analytical of a way i can place it, and it’s not wrong nor right. just my own thoughts. (also note, i have two exams tomorrow, so i probs wont be on here afterwards anyway cos i need to study else i die lol, but i just wanted to chime in like anyone else would)

ok first point- the drama is not shallow enough to solely revolved around the intro outro changing.

it is not the issue itself; rather it is the situation, or window that is giving us a bigger picture in the new, wierd mood that the community has been in for a while.

im human, but personally, in the large amount of time ive spent everyday scrolling thru the tag i have not legitamentely seen a post saying “oh i dont like that jack isnt doing the intro anymore im unsubscribing.” it doesnt seem logical to me that someone who dedicates themselves enough to the channel that they are a active member of the tumbtlr community, to throw all that away just for an intro.

what i have seen instead are 2 things:

1) usually when i scroll thru the tag and see a current hot topic, i try to scroll back up til i find the post that probably originally started it all. this, along with the first type ive seen in the tag, are people saying that “some people are unsubscribing cos of outro...how can they do that..they have to understand change is normal...people act like children sometimes...i cant believe it those people are not part of the community they should just leave...etc

2)the people i have seen saying “ah man i miss the intro and outro....i miss them it feels a little weird without them...i hope they dont go away forever i’d miss it”..etc

number 2 does not match with the people number 1 are talking about. unless i am wrong (i am human so if you have actually seen this on tumblr send me a link to the person’s blog or post) the people missing the outros have never said they would leave the community. Simply expressing a sentiment for something that has always been the norm that is now changing, that’s all it is for most people.

BUT, the misunderstanding/missalignment i see between 1 and 2, is that people in 2 is either being generalized/misslabeled/or lumped by others as the “leaving the community” group. and this can even apply to number 1, where some who genuine simplly want to say “the outro might be gone, but it’s ok to change” are grouped into the others saying “leave the community you kids dont belong here” and this is the window into the main problem i think in the community.

jack is changing. this is the happiest ive seen him be in 4 years and you have no idea how happy i am for him that he is choosing to take care of himself more and finding/discovering what he truly wants for himself, his style of commentary, the channel, and the community.

No one wants to get in the way of that. not 1, not 2, no one here wants to legit do that because we all so so deeply care about him. he brought us so much happiness, friendships, friggin several couples proposed in front of him over the years cause he indirectly helped them find love. we care about jack so much, that as a community we’re trying our best to give him the best atmosphere to change. but it’s a big community, so of course people have different ways of doing so.

we love him fiercely, so we either protect fiercely or we speak up fiercely. and then the whole tag is on fire. you’re on fire. you try pouring comforting pics on it oh no that was gasoline help-

people want to help jack and the channel/community through feedback; if something is felt to be wrong by a person, they’d want to let the captain know that something’s amiss and how/why it is and if they can fix it.

people want to help jack and the channel/community by protecting/managing it; if we dont want to sink the ship, we have to keep up and remember the duties as a member what we should be doing so that if we see a hurricane coming, we can deal with it the best without getting the ship damaged.

both are good, you can’t have one without the other. without proper management the ship will sink, but if there’s a solution outside of protocol it should be considered. if the new idea/solution/feedback is faulty enough that it would put us at even greater peril, the rules serve as a guide of judgement in doing what’s best for the ship.

no one side is right on its own. if there’s no way of feedback or communication to the captain, or anarchy is assumed among the members and the captain is overthrown, the ship will sink.

cooperation is key. nothing is black and white, its gray and our relationship with jack is a conversation.

agree or disagree, we need to not dismiss one in favor of ourself, we need to listen, be open, and use other’s ideas (whether good or bad, evil or rightous, selfish or selfless, or just plain neutral) in forming our own and vice versa, creating a cycle of healthy conversation rather than attacking or defending blindly.

and as well, the captain has had years of hard work, dedication, knowledge, and experience to get to his position. and ultimately it is Jack who is the one to decide how to run this ship. there can be members whose feedback is unjustified, or even hate-filled. there can be members who feel a one particular way is the right one over all else . but Jack is the one who chooses what to take into himself and the channel. does he think this feedback is valid? he’s open to taking it into consideration. does he disagree with it? that’s ok too, he still decides what he’ll take from it, good or bad, and move on.

experiencing things, toxic or healthy, we as individuals have the power to choose what to take in, not take in, and how we proceed with the information we take in. the actions of others have no rule over you, you rule over yourself. you choose what to take in and how. if we restrain ourselves/others, or protect ourselves/others, from this, then that right to choose is taken away before we even get a chance to choose. we just become isolated and very very, very alone.

tl;dr: TALK, FOR THE LOVE OF ANALOGIES AND GOD AND EVERYONE, JUST TALK CIVILLY AND NORMALLY WITH EACH OTHER. WE’RE ADULTS. JACK IS AN ADULT. CONVERSATE. NO ONE IS PROBLEMATIC AND NO ONE IS UNPROBLEMATIC. WE’RE ALL HUMAN, WE’RE ALL GRAY. WE ALL LOVE JACK WE ALL LOVE THIS COMMUNITY AND WE’RE ALL SO VERY GRAY AND SO SO SO COMPLEX AND HUMAN. SO PLEASE, P L E A S E

why dont you just talk to each other....

I finally came home after celebratin a lot, but tomorrow night I'll fill the queue again and I might throw in a lot of meme things ive been tagged in. Like question thingies. Because theyre fun! So if anyones tagged me in a thing to do within the past couple of weeks I'll try doin em soon! I'm probably gonna put them in the queue too to avoid spamming everyones dash

Also I went into hot topic (yeah i know) and was kinda surprised at the MM merch mine had? Like I know last year they made a Mystic Mess tee or whatever, but they had a tank and a sticker in my super small mall store, and my friend had to deal with me basically going "?????????????????????????????" For a hot minute

Its so weird seeing merch for this game in an actual store and not like. A fanmade thing or something from cheritz themselves?

I also just thought it was weird because the sticker I bought had like. The main five and then V too? But no Saeran, and I was like..........Saeran's a hot topic trash baby tho-

Djkskdkf jk but I did think ot was odd. Not like "V doesnt belong here!" Because he does, but I guess I'm so used to the main five having their default sprites everywhere and V not included

#scum talks #i can post a picture tomorrow if yall want im just tired #and yeah i still go to hot topic but generally to get small shit like stickers #except my bestie got me two all might shirts because I love him #jsjsjskjdf idk man hot topic has changed a lot and their aft thief makes me skeevy so i only buy official looking stuff

Spanish anon again mil disculpas si molesto but can you tell me something about the character with Spanish influences in her heritage? Ik they're from pr but I'm curious lol and I didn't know you had ocs

Oh hi anon!!

I should probably have a name for you!! Umm spanish anon sound nice or you want smth else!! ? Maybe a specific name for you so i can get you a tag!?

Oh yeah so personally i have an ongoing world im *attempting* to develop

Theres the main story (i think i posted a short story once about it once? Its somewhere in here) but theres a bunch of events prologue to some major plot points that i decided to compile into one consecutive story thats unamed

Ive just been calling it prologue lol

Its set in 1960s-1970s pr and it was around the time i got really invested in history and influences of culture

The main pov family we would be following for this part of the story would be the Rocios which were meant to represent la cultura afrodecendiente. (Specifically of the southern regions) Then theres the other ptotagonist whos directly decendant of arawak/taino (a lot of indigenous blood lines remain in the deep center of the island and i based him off a documentary set in Adjuntas, it was called smth like the hidden native history of today i dont exactly remember )

Then i was reading an article on the mountain regions and seises that lead me to finding out a lot of stuff of forgotten spanish heritage, and how theres a lot of it situated in the mountain regions. In colonial times a lot of families escaping spain (for their own reasons) settled around mountain regions to economically take advantage of the rich fertile land, thus the center of the island (specially the bothers) are also richly influenced with some spanish heritage and i went

✨Yes✨

The prologue is kinda my love letter to pr so ofc had to take into account the spanish influence, thus Eugenia Valencia Catalá was born. In the main story shes the grandmother of the protagonist, in the current story we kinda see how that happens HDHDJJFNDN

Both her surnames are based on real people i know with cataluña heritage from the nothern region of Puerto Rico shes from which is supoosed to be set around Utuado/ Arecibo

Idk how much you wanted OF the story but in short the story centers around a period of time in the magic society all the characters belong to, and how the Rocios are trying to start a movement against some laws that are getting a lot of people killed without getting caught and killed themselves. Its kinda basic but theres a lot more stuff going on within it that makes it interesting i promise.

So the Valencia family are one of the most influencial in the magic society community, getting their alliance is almost crucial to the entire movement.

Eugenia is the second child in the valencia family (she has 5 siblings one older and 4 younger) but is put inmense pressure as the eldest daughter in such a known family. Shes developed a strong character thanks to it, even if shes not the oldest she might as well be. Her older brother Martín is his parents golden child, he can do no wrong. She has all the pressure to be the poster child, if that makes sense (idk if youve seen encanto but *insert isabela madrigal character*)

She doesnt socialize much, do to a lot of factors. The fact all the pressure has made her grow up to look untouchable, not many people look to befriend her. The fact she herself is not keen on breaking that armor thanks to the amount of pressure she has on being perfect, the time period she was born in was a horrible place to make even aquitanced because next day they could very well be dead.

The only friend she actually has is Fernando, whos her pen pal and childhood friend. The Rocios have always tried to keep a good relationship with the Valencias, seeing as ✨influencial family✨ and both eugenia and fernando (the oldest of the Rocios children) were around the same age.

They hung out together a lot when they were younger, basically watched eachother grow up. Thanks to the events in the book the Rocios might have stopped being able to make the trip to the north since they were southern, but both continued to write letters to eachother through the almost half a decade they could not see eachother.

So what happens when youre informed your family is planning to get you engaged to the only person youve ever called a friend?

SO THATS A LOT MORE THAN YOU ASKED FOR IM SO SORRY BUT YEAH

I have a lot of love for Eugenia

#also both fernando and Eugenias locations are a tribute to my grandparents so... jajsjfjfjfnkfnf #spanish anon!!#lost scrolls: prologue

hi hi hi! so i feel like a lot of my most favorite fics dont get talked about much, therefore i wanted to create a proper fic rec masterpost to spread the love!! this is going to be a looooong list, so hopefully theres something for everyone (though i do firmly believe u should read every single one of these before u die)

in no particular order, but a * indicates my absolute faves that i reread monthly:

hats off to my distant hope by navigator (21k) *

Harry is in White Eskimo. Louis is in London.

AU loosely inspired by the song “505” by Arctic Monkeys.

-kicking this off with one of my very favorites. i think my favorite trope is when hl have this angsty “we’re not dating but definitely fucking and also doing everything couples do also i’m irrevocably in love with you why aren’t we dating?” sort of moment. its painful in the sweetest way, and this fic captures that perfectly. there will be quite a few of those on this list, i’ll bet

up the long delirious burning blue by orphan_account (6k)

harry is a swimmer & louis is the writer who somehow manages to make him come up for air.

-this one is quite sad. so poetic and painful and lovely and unf (warning for mentions of suicide and depression, and the ending is quite ambiguous but there is no MCD)

we wreak havoc with out hearts by flimsy (9k)

Harry finds that he can’t keep things separate; neither can Louis.

Harry tousles his hair, smoothes it back, shrugging.

“Alright,” he says. “I’m, you know, outside if you need anything.”

“Yeah,” Louis replies. “Sure.”

He doesn’t look like he’ll be needing Harry, and Harry tells himself that that’s okay. They’ve both got their moods sometimes or maybe the timing isn’t good, and if it’s not then that’s alright as well. Harry can respect that. And it’s not like this is their first tour; Harry knows that Louis will come around. He always does.

-another one of those w that trope i talked about. im gonna call it the RFWB trope (romantic friends w benefits). this one is so hot and good

rather this than live without you by mediaville (10k) *

Harry decides to give it all up. Louis refuses to be left behind.

-RFWB pt. 3. i ADORE this fic. just the setting and the angst and the smut ugh it all has me on the floor

one day to believe in you by mediaville (7k)

A mysterious force compels Louis to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Even when it’s really inconvenient.

Harry blinks and has the nerve to look surprised.

“You think about me when you get off?”

“Yes,” Louis says. He wonders how hard he’d need to punch himself in the face to knock himself out.

“Often?”

“Yes, Christ, Harry,” Louis groans. “Probably eight times a week for going on six years now. On average, you know. More when we were touring, less when I’ve been visiting family. Anything else you’d like to know?”

- :-)))))))

all my love was down in a frozen ground by navigator (16k)

Louis goes to the woods.

AU very loosely inspired by the creation of Bon Iver’s first record.

-i’ll be honest i dont even remember what this fic is about but its in my bookmarks and its by navigator so i know that its good

boys of summer by sharktoothedfawnskinned (49k) *

What he wants is for this to be a forever thing, not someplace Harry spent the summer once. What he wants is for this to be more than a memory.

(New Jersey beach town AU.)

- I SCREAM EVERY TIME READ THIS RIGHT NOW

we should get jerseys by orphan_account (12k) *

There’s a lot surrounding Harry, and Louis knows, in his heart of hearts, that there always will be. He just doesn’t know if he’ll manage to equate into the ‘always’ of it.

(Harry is a hockey player, and Louis is his slightly melodramatic boyfriend.)

- another old favorite!!! pretty much anything that involves harry being good at sports has me on my knees bc it paves way for automatic angst, louis being jealous of a puck/ball/net/what have you, and uhhh various other *athletic* activities

the finish line (is a good place for us to start) by @loaded-gunn (122k)

Louis Tomlinson, one-time Formula 1 World Champion, is looking forward to the 2013 season. He’s got Zayn in his garage and Liam in his ear, he’s got Cowell Racing backing him despite former indiscretions, he’s got experience and the best race car out there. Not to mention he’s the only racer they have, after Oliver dropped out late last year.

It hasn’t occurred to him that Oliver would have to be replaced by February. That is, until he finds himself at a party celebrating Harry Styles leaving Ferrari for Cowell. Harry hotshot Styles, who broke a record last year and is probably looking to make a big splash. Harry Styles, who is talented and somewhat intimidating. Harry Styles, who left Ferrari for reasons unknown and seems kind of lonely and harmless in person. Lonely, harmless, hot as fuck. Whatever.

The first thing Louis does is take him under his wing. From there it’s nine months of slow-burning romance, the past catching up to them, turning into the human puppy pile that is OT5 and a lot of feelings until, of course, reaching the finish line.

-one of the first 1d fics i remember reading. i havent touched it in a long time but it used to be my #1 fave and it has a special place in my heart. so much pining, only not really in a frustrating way bc theres abundant flirting and they kiss in like, the second scene. its basically louis trying to keep his shit together and failing miserably. AND its stuffed with fandom meta which is quite entertaining if youve been here for awhile. anyway give this a read, i truly love it so much

so keep my candle bright by whisperdlullaby (78k) *

louis returns to his hometown after four years to find that the reverend’s son has done some growing up of his own.

-god. the characterization in this one is just gorgeous. the way louis helps harry accept/explore his sexuality is so beautiful and i think about it every day. a must read!!! (warning for homophobia and religious themes)

no one like you by @myownsparknow (20k)

Dear Niall,

I was glad to have the chance to talk with you again at the AHA conference. Your idea that the Musee D’Orsay Tomlinson painting is in fact not a self-portrait is an intriguing one, and I may have discovered something that will have a bearing on that theory.

Some background: as you may remember, I’ve been researching for a book I’m writing about Harry Styles. I’ve been in communication with Styles’ last living descendant, who is in possession of a trunk that her family believed to have belonged to Styles himself. It held some personal items she presumes to be his, including two unmounted paintings and a small collection of letters.

Upon spending the last few days in Provins studying these items, I believe there to be a connection between Tomlinson and Styles, and I would very much like your opinion.

Are you up for a trip to France?

Sincerely, Liam Payne

Where Liam and Niall are art historians discovering the truth about two nineteenth century painters on opposite sides of an artistic divide.

-this is one of the only recent fics on this list bc i like to stew in the past and pretend all my favorite writers havent left the fandom. i read it when it first came out and man oh man, its like poetry. so gorgeously written, and hl’s relationship is so deeply rooted and beautiful. i love

our little corner of the world by brownheadedstranger (30k)

AU. Louis is stuck in his mom’s diner for the summer. Harry is the line cook with a pickup truck.

-so good!! i’d die for americanized fics which doesnt even make sense bc i hate america but. what can u do

i could dream all night by @fondleeds (73k) *

As the sun kisses the horizon, one last flash of light before the stars and the moon take over, his phone will brighten in his grasp, Louis’ name appearing on screen, come over or wanna see you or miss your mouth. Harry always lingers on those messages, elbows bruising on the cool metal of the railing by the lookout, watching the water as he thumbs at the side of his phone, lips bitten into his mouth, trying to will away the bubbling in his stomach, the heat that flushes to his neck at the thought of being thought of.

At the thought of Louis thinking of him.

AU. Harry spends his summer away from the city.

-lordt. where the fuck do i begin. first of all, lysha, if ur reading this, i’d die for u even tho u already killed me with this fic. second, what the fuck???? this is so good??? the imagery is exquisite, everything is so soft and hazy and warm, but just be warned that its a tRick. this fics wraps u in like a warm hug and then stabs u 7 times in the back so be prepared :-))) (warning for ambiguous ending)

another hazy may by deLILAh (41k) *

louis is a terrible poet and harry lives in the now and they have six weeks to fall in love but, really, it only takes six seconds. bookshop meets military meets summer romance au ft. marlboros, the backstreet boys, and underrated literary devices.

-i dnot even wanna talk about it. i swear to god the first time i read this i stayed up all night and cried through literally like the last three quarters of it. its so poetic and gorgeous and now every time i think or hear about the literary present i wanna die so thanks for scarring me forever

like a bastard on the burning sea by vashtaneradas (22k) *

au; harry breaks louis, louis breaks everything.

- listen i know im not supposed to like this but yknow what?? iconic. its absolutely a guilty pleasure and the only cheating fic ill ever give the time of day bc it just hurts so good

take me to the church (series) by @kingsoftheimpossible (14k/6k/4k)

Harry and Louis are Horsemen of the Apocalypse- War and Conquest- but that’s not really important. They just like to fuck things up.

these r freaky but so so good. theres nothin i love more than boyfriends wreaking havoc on..everything. (the main warnings i’d say are for slight gore/violence and blasphemy. other than that i’d read the tags before you dive in)

if you love me, come clean by @victoryjacket (121k) *

AU in which Louis works at a recording studio where Harry’s ‘up and coming’ and ‘exciting’, soon-to-be famous indie band has just signed a deal to record their debut album at, and Louis’ never even heard of them for Christ’s sakes, but that doesn’t stop him from repeatedly catching the eye of the raven-haired, eyeliner-wearing and slightly dangerous-looking frontman (but he’s not interested, he isn’t.)

-everyone read my love’s fic right now. she writes tortured rockstar!harry beautifully and its just so good :-))))) ft. the slowest, sweetest burn

a runaway american dream by dangerbears (15k)

AU. they take route 66 with only each other and their secrets.

-iconic. plus the whole thing is just hl trying and failing to be just bro pals and platonically share a bed

from the love to the lightning by orphan_account (22k) *

“i didn’t realize it would sometimes be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea. because it’s the halves that halve you in half.”

a like crazy au where harry and louis fall in america, but have to try to make it work when problems arise that force louis to stay in london.

-definitely in my top 10. first things first, the line that fucked me up forever: “Three thousand, four hundred and seventy one. There are 3471 miles and an entire ocean between them, but Harry doesn’t even have to get out of bed to find bone-crushing heartache.” AH. i think this might actually be the only long distance au ive ever read and its angsty as fuck but oh so worth it. like literally idek what to say except read this right now (warning for harry/ofc relationship that is pretty detailed, but i grew kinda fond of her? and anyway its mainly just a plot point to emphasize harrys pining for his tru love,,,,yk who)

we can take the long way home by @eleadore (27k) *

“Fertile,” Louis says, and then laughs because it sounds stupid to say out loud. He hasn’t ever really thought of himself in those terms. Baby-making terms. It’s just one of those things his body can do, like exercise, or go without tea. Doesn’t mean he will.

or, The band takes a break. Harry and Louis come together.

-listen, i REALLY REALLY love this fic. its probably literally my favorite one shot, like, its really just so sweet and hot and its again one of those good ol RFWB tropes. loveeee

red brick heart by hazmesentir (99k) *

Harry has only had his room for thirty-two minutes when it stops being his.

Uni AU. Harry had turned up at the halls of residence expecting fun, new friends, and maybe a life experience or two. What he doesn’t expect is a surprise roommate who’s loud and dramatic and obsessed with tea and is maybe, actually, all he’s ever wanted.

-this is one of the few fandom faves i can get behind. i know its got that early era cliche of commitment phobe!louis but i really love hl’s relationship in this, and how harry comes to terms w his sexuality via making out w louis tomlinson like 500 times. plus the scene in the club where louis, uh, helps harry out just…GETS me, yknow?

some things take root by navigator/quitter (50k) *

AU. Louis’ ex doesn’t get jealous of anyone besides Harry. Harry helps Louis use that to his advantage.

-pleasepleplalspelplseease. literally navigator can end me. this is THE fake relationship au yall, like, any fanart of hl making out near a bar gives me flashbacks to this fic. read it

keep yourself warm by navigator (20k)

AU. Harry sleeps around.

-this fic is really nice and oddly comforting, like, i just love the pining and the angst. its so !!!!

with love comes strange currencies by mediaville (16k) *

One day One Direction will be over and Louis won’t be around Harry every waking moment. He’ll be able to finally get some space, let their bond dissipate as it’s bound to do, if they don’t mess up again. He can move to Costa Rica and forget that Harry Styles popped his first knot inside him. Until then, he’s going to have to deal with this.

or, They’re Accidentally Mated and Dealing With It Rather Badly.

-i con ic. listen, i have nothing against abo but im just .. not rly into it. however, THIS is the first abo fic i read and the only one i ever loved. like just the whole accidental mating and how it draws them to each other even tho its quite inconvenient, and how h takes cares of l when hes sick, i just..gotta go

covered in lines (series) by mentalistecbm (24k)

He likes to imagine that he’s always aware of Harry’s eyes on him, but the spark that flashes across his body at how often Harry licks his lips while looking at his throat doesn’t feel like something he’s explicitly and consciously acknowledged before, but it feels familiar. Usual. Right.

(Louis is human, and Harry is lucky enough to be his vampire boyfriend.)

-noah fence but this is,,,, essentially twilight in au form, minus love triangles and werewolves. actually its completely different lmao, who am i, but the overall atmosphere and the vampire dynamics rly reminded me of it. i mean it in the best way!!! its so good, and anything involving dr*nking has me on the floor

weird honey by orphan_account (5k)

~staying up all night, talking blasphemous ash, weird honey~

(PWP where Harry is not 100% at home in his body and he and Louis use a sex toy to help work through the problem)

-this fic is soft and nice and makes me feel warm inside so highly recommend

who painted the moon black by throughthedark (95k) *

“People died,” Harry whispers so quietly Louis strains to hear. “People died, and I killed some of them. How does life just go on after something like that?”

Louis shakes his head. “I don’t know. It just does.”

Hunger Games AU where Louis Tomlinson is district six’s victor from the 69th Hunger Games and Harry Styles is district seven’s victor from the 72nd Hunger Games.

-listen. i do NOT want to talk about it. (ps harry throwing axes on the bbc literally took me out by the knees bc of this fic)

one more for the stars by imsosorry (16k)

It’s different, and Louis knows that, because Harry’s got so much riding on this - a career and a future and his whole life. There’s talk of him going first overall in the draft, of entering the NFL after only two years in college, of going to New York or Seattle or Green Bay, and Louis wants to be there for him, wants to support him and help him make decisions, but he also kind of wants to pin him to the bed and cry and scream, What about me what about me what about me?

(au. Harry’s the star quarterback and Louis is about to graduate. It’s a heartbreak waiting to happen.)

-i think i mentioned before that sports au have me on the floor and this is no excpetion

you and me were kings by ithacas (28k) *

harry plays football in a small town in west texas. louis might be the only person that doesn’t give a damn. au.

-another football au, this one with the added beauty of being set in southern us. im such a sucker for southern aus, mannnn, and this one is so soft and beautiful

hold onto your stars by vashtaneradas (16k) *

au; harry’s in the army, louis’ back home, and ninety days is a lifetime.

-are u srs????? this is another hazy may except…….Worse. like, im still working out the science of it but im pretty sure this killed me and brought me back to life just so i could suffer the pain of it forever. (nobody dies tho)

makes perfect by checkthemargins (8k)

“What if you practiced on like, a mannequin?” Louis presses. “Or one of those blow up sex dolls? Or even just like, I don’t know, a pillow or something. Whatever it’d fit around.”

Harry tilts his head thoughtfully, curls catching the light so entrancingly that Louis finds himself reaching up to push his fingers through them. “It’s different, though, innit? When it’s a real person. A pillow won’t snog me.”

“Why should it?” says Louis. “You can’t even take its bra off.”

hmmmm. hmmmmmmmm. im jus gonna leave this here,,,,,,,,,

all the diamonds you have here by vashtaneradas (21k)

it hits louis now, how fucking close to the precipice they’re standing.

or, an au feat. investment banking and children.

-its #confirmed that anything by vashtaneradas is guaranteed to be painful as hell. who said there cant be soul crushing angst in marriage/kid fics too !

wild and unruly by @100percentsassy/gloria_andrews (123k) *

Harry is a cowboy sitting on the biggest oil reservoir in Wyoming, and Louis is the paralegal assigned to pressure him into selling his land.

-ending this with a classic. i trust that everyone has read this masterpiece already and that i dont have to say anything about it other than w o w
