happy new year abby!!!!!!! congrats on meeting your reading goal, i’m glad that despite your busy life you’re still able to enjoy reading for yourself <3 some bookish questions, if you don’t mind …

what was your favourite reread of 2023? what book did you mean to read but ended up not? what books were you looking forward to but disappointed by? what book took you by surprise? your favourite series? your favourite standalone? your least favourite book(s)? what book did you write your favourite review about? and finally, what book(s) are you most looking forward to reading in 2024?

may this year be full of blessings to you!

hiiiiii love, happy new year!!!! i'm finally back on my laptop so i'm sorry this is a few days late <333

favourite reread: i did a lot of rereading this year and i loved them all but probably six of crows!! every time i reread that series i'm a little nervous that its not going to have the same magic it did the last time and it always does and this time was no exception its just going to be a forever favourite and i'm so glad i reread it

a book i meant to read and didn't get to: there were a few i meant to at the very least start over my break that i didn't get a chance to (this biography i picked up at a school social and the hundred years war on palestine by rashid khalidi), books i had on hold at the library but it was just never the right time (as long as the lemon trees grow by zoulfa katouh), and my book lovers reread that i was all set to start and then i didn't read for like 3 weeks

a book i was looking forward to that disappointed me: greywaren by maggie stiefvater was soooo messy plotwise and there were things i wanted wrapped up that were just not addressed in a satisfying way yes i gave it 5 stars the epilogue made me cry those 5 stars are for declan lynch and for how much i love the trc/tdt universe as a whole pls take my rating system a little bit seriously (so i guess it wasn't 100% disappointing i just wanted more from the final book) (honourary mentions to nine liars by maureen johnson bc it was sososo fun for 99% of the book but the very end was so unnecessary i'll never forgive her, and harlem shuffle by colson whitehead i liked the writing i just thought the plot would be different from what it ended up being)

a book that took me by surprise: the day of the jackal was supposed to be something i picked up for a few hours for shits and giggles since i've never had any real interest in 70's spy thrillers but i actually enjoyed it enough to finish! also these violent delights by micah nemerever surprised me because i did not know what to expect at. all. and i still dont know how to describe the feelings that book gave me but i certainly didn't expect them

my favourite series: beartown!!!!!! you know exactly why i don't even have to explain </3 (honourary mention to sandra gullands josephine b trilogy its one hell of a historical fiction series and i enjoyed it SO much)

my favourite standalone: rebecca by daphne du maurier!! its just the most beautifully written book that captivated me from the very first page <33

least favourite books: the last word by taylor adams (extraordinarily mid upon first read and it just seems so bleh looking back), ready player one by ernest cline (i can see why my boyfriend loves it but it just didn't appeal to me at all), 20,000 leagues under the sea by jules verne (jules verne knows sooooo many facts about the ocean and electricity and he put every single one of them in this book in very long paragraphs but i forgive my prof for making me read it)

my favourite review: i didn't really write any solid reviews this year (something i'm hoping to do more of in 2024) but my favourite mini reviews are the ones i left for wuthering heights and 20,000 leagues under the sea bc i think i'm funny and bc i think they sum up my reading experience quite well

books i'm most looking forward to reading in 2024: soooo many a curse for true love by stephanie garber, a man called ove by fredrik backman, alone with you in the ether by olivie blake, divine rivals by rebecca ross (!!), penance by eliza clark to name a few

at last. — aventurine

a/n: this is dedicated to my lovely friend, @aventurne ♥️ happy belated birthday, i hope this new age and every one going forward treats you so amazingly, whereas you’ll find nothing but positive days ahead 🥹🤲❤️ happy belated again!

warning: spoilers for 2.1 tb mission, this is inspired by at last by etta james, one line from the song is used but it’s not a song fic, fluff x10000, aventurines just so in love

aventurine was always cautious, he would take his time to plan out everything he did, no matter how reckless it seemed.

but if you were to ask the blonde haired man, he’d say he wasn’t cautious, he was careful. careful crafting his art to a point of perfection.

except, these all seemed to fall down; the walls— the facade he created to protect himself from the outside world and himself, when with you.

he adored you, so much. it almost physically hurt, he couldn’t help it though, he was so in love. he was so in love with you, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

it’s the way you speak, the way you effortlessly articulate your thoughts. the way you have the most adorable expressions, when your eyebrows furrow, the way you raise them when confused.

or maybe it was the way you supported him, telling him if he believed he could do it, he could. it reminded him of his past.

“kakavasha!” you call out, waving your hand in his face. he’s a bit confused, he could’ve swore he was just somewhere else.

“good morning, sleepyhead. it’s already past 9:30!” you laugh, but so does he; you’re just teasing him in good fun.

“sorry, i was.. caught up in my thoughts?” he says, shrugging. you nod, refusing to press further, you already knew of his past— and you figured that’s what he was so caught up in his thoughts of.

he sits up, giving you a quick kiss on your forehead. you tilt your head, a bit confused. did you do something?

“sorry, just needed to give you a quick thank you for being— everything i ever dreamed of, everything i hoped for.” he says, giving you a kiss on your lips this time. one that’s sweet, gentle, but still filled with so much love, appreciation, joy bundled up into one.

[astroboots]

hello there, im still empty with the final chapter of eyem. i need more of cielito and miguel and i dont know what to do with my life now

still you and @thirstworldproblemss are amazing writers, you understand the character so well and you’re never out of character, always creating something new and loving

please you and @thirstworldproblemss keep writing, you’re one of the reasons i get out of my bed, and trying to improve in live. you inspire me a lot, thank you!

also, i wanted to ask something as well about red flags, another amazing fanfic, love how you developed marc’s personality, not just a grumpy man but also a lonely man without love that he deserves all the love in the world even if he doesn’t thinks he does

i love that marc was the one to fuck reader without the condom, even to willing to cum inside her

i remembered when reader wished that steven would cum inside her, to be able to feel him closely, and that was marc the one to do it, makes my heart melt with love, because he deserves to feel good, to feel save and be able to do it with the one who’ll love him forever

and it makes me think about the first time steven would cum inside her, fucking her raw, he wouldn’t be able to think about anything else but how good it feels, how good reader feels.

he would despise the idea of using condom again because now he thinks of it as a barrier that would separate him from reader, specially if, maybe, he does have a breeding kink

i would love it if you write something like that in the future, no matter if it’s a one shot or drabble, i’d love to read you vision about that idea or what you think, because you have such an amazing ability to write

again you two are amazing, every fanfic it’s like magic to me, i can believe there’s someone that makes me feel so much with their writing but you do

thank you!

Thank you lovely for this incredibly sweet and kind message.

Writing with TWP is such an absolute joy and i have said this before and will say it many times still, I love writing but writing with TWP is x10000 in terms of enjoyment and happiness. It's so nice to have someone to keep you company as you write as writing can be incredibly solitary, but with TWP I'm writing and hanging out with my best friend. It's a tonne of fun.

ALSO JESUS FUCKING CHRIST YOUR RED FLAGS ASK! the way I have read, and reread it! THe way I'm like combusting over here at that thought.

You will have both TWP and @the-ginger-hedge-witch to thank that Marc was the first to bust his nut inside, I originally wanted Steven to do the honours but TWP said in the first chapter that's a hard no!!!! then with chapter four I wanted a bareback scene and Ren absolutely vetoed it! And by then there weren't any in person sex scenes left until the final chapter with Marc, but it worked out wonderfully.

Also your suggestion of Steven's first time without condom with reader.... I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR! It's in my notebook for ideas for the White Flags sequel!! woof woof. Thank you so much for this ask lovely.

[kanskje-kaffe]

since you've stepped off the dinluke ride lately i feel like i can say this.

Seeing all the renewed hubbub in the dinluke tag, people mourning what feels like the “death” of the ship has me absolutely rolling my eyes.

Why are people leaving? It’s cause the fic is bad. The fic is bad! The dark!Din, fetishy pablum served up by shyowl et al is unreadable, nevermind the fact that those who write it should own up to the fact that they’re just producing this content for their own and others’ titillation.

But the folks complaining about it the loudest, het up over the fact that their stuff isn’t getting the engagement they want? Their fic is also bad! It’s stilted, out of character, hard to read, unimaginative, and self-important. And, critically, a lot of it still deals in many of the same stereotypes and misrepresentation of queer life as the kinds of stories they're railing against. The problem with the pairing isn't that there are a handful of bad apples. The problem is almost no one is getting it right.

Folks could have just enjoyed themselves with a fun little crack ship while it lasted, written some good stories, and bounced. But the Titanic has sunk, and everyone left is fighting over the same few scraps of flotsam. Get it together.

Hey anon, thank you for messaging me. I’m happy you thought of me and felt able to send me your thoughts, I appreciate it. I agree with a lot of what you’ve said. I recognize your frustration. (Also thank you SO much for introducing 'pablum' into my active vocabulary, what an absolutely perfect word for this situation!!!! omg)

I’ve read very little actual fanfiction for Dinluke. I’m in fandom to make friends, socialise, swap meta and headcanons, talk with other artists and writers about our work. If I want a reading list I can go to the library or check my bookshelf. I’ve prioritized reading the work and the recommendations of my husband and my extremely talented personal friends, and their contributions have all been nothing short of excellent. I’ve never read any of Shyowl’s fanfic; the premises haven't appealed. I do remember that when all the anti-Luke/anti-Armorer stuff was happening during BOBF, Shyowl posted some really good meta takes which I appreciated. My complaints are based on my interpersonal encounters with the fandom at large via Discord, AO3 comments, and Tumblr, almost every day for more than a year.

I think it’s totally appropriate for fiction to be kinky, self-gratifying, unorthodox, countercultural, or even disgusting. It’s appropriate for fiction to explore unsavory ideas in their own right without having to present a conclusive judgement on that exploration. It’s appropriate for fiction to portray the id, not the superego. Authors like Ballard or Palahniuk have written things that made my stomach turn (holy shit, Crash), and they’re no less deserving of being in print for having done that. This goes x10000 for fanfiction which is both written and read for free, with no element of general social elevation being afforded to the author for having done so. Kink is and will always be fringe content. The women who contributed their sexual fantasies to Nancy Friday’s My Secret Garden weren’t immoral, wicked people who were admitting to these fantasies in a published work in order to hurt children and cause the downfall of society. Or whatever.

The problem I have with Dinluke is this, as you said:

“a lot of [vanilla fic] still deals in many of the same stereotypes and misrepresentation of queer life as the kinds of stories they're railing against. The problem with the pairing isn't that there are a handful of bad apples.”

Some of the most popular kink fic is openly written in homage to the vanilla fic - not the other way around. When I was in the old Dinluke server, the kink authors and the vanilla authors were all fans of the exact same small handful of popular fics and artists. They shared appreciation of the same tropes, the same dynamics, the same jokes. The fact that some of them were then inspired to write pornography while others were inspired to write romance is not the issue here.

The homophobic stereotypes, the bland recycling of nuclear family dynamics enforced at the expense of both Luke and Din’s religions/philosophies and even their most basic character traits, the endless and harrowing forced feminisation of Luke Skywalker - this all originates with vanilla Dinluke, and remains consistently present in vanilla Dinluke. Luke the preschool teacher. Luke wearing dresses and lingerie. Luke the theater kid. Luke blushing and stuttering. Luke who can’t hold his drink. Luke who delays before going to save a child’s life to borrow tight pants from his sister and put on designer boots so he can seduce the kid’s caretaker. Luke who always bottoms. (I’ve heard that the Korean Dinluke fandom doesn’t have Luke as a Designated Bottom and I hope they’re all having a great day today.) Poor old Din just has to be A Single Dad, or at best a saccharine pre-Raphaelite fantasy knight-king complete with Reddit-grade chivalry (m’Luke), because none of his actual character traits or beliefs match the comphet, anemic-Dante Gabriel Rosetti-flavored model of this pairing that the fandom seems so utterly reluctant to deviate from.

The dynamic between Kay Adams and Michael Corleone in The Godfather series was abusive, disrespectful, and repellent - without being kinky or pornographic in any way. It’s also more or less exactly the standard dynamic between Din and Luke, except that Luke is typically able to do what Kay wanted to and could not: to soften Din with love. I pray it’s clear that this is not the missing piece making Kay and Michael’s relationship toxic.

I’ve been in fandom for a good 20 years at this point. I fully believe that people should write whatever the hell they want to. If they do, they’ll do doubt find other people who enjoy it too, no matter what it is. Yaoi and Shounen-ai tropes - which are essentially the same tropes as in Dinluke - have always been at their most acceptable (which isn't much, but still) as a kinky fantasy, and at their least acceptable as stomachable romance. The fact that yaoi/BL has enjoyed so much popularity over the years shows that there is obviously a huge market for it. It’s not exactly news to me that people want to see homosexual male romance portrayed like this. But other parts of Star Wars fandom have variety; avoiding a trope or a genre doesn't mean avoiding a character or a ship entirely in every part of Star Wars I enjoy except Dinluke, which mostly seems to be a machine for writing The Same Story. The tropes are just as present in vanilla Dinluke as they are in kinky or dark Dinluke, and it’s the tropes, not the pornography, that are demeaning and unwelcoming. As a result, interacting with anyone beyond the minuscule group of friends I’ve managed to curate feels like enduring a kind of social hazing, and therefore, I’m out.

Denali misses Mik when he’s gone; both she and Rosé do. It’s hard not to, when their boyfriend has such a big presence in their lives all the time. Whether he’s starfishing on their bed and hogging all the covers in his sleep, chattering away to fill silence in the apartment, or just making his presence known by ruffling Denali’s hair as he walks by or tracing absent-minded hearts on Rosé’s arm while they’re piled on the couch to watch TV, Mik is a constant, someone who’s always at arm’s reach to enjoy. It’s comforting, something about him that neither Denali nor Rosé would ever want to change.

It’s a strange feeling when he’s away, one that neither of them particularly like. Like something is missing, something they can’t quite feel balanced without. Like the minute he leaves, they’re waiting for him to come back again.

It doesn’t help that Mik has been traveling so much for work lately. Fashion Week season has descended upon the world, and between New York and Paris and Toronto and Milan, Mik has been so busy that he hardly has time to pick up his phone. Add in time zone differences along with Denali and Rosé navigating their own busy schedules, and it might as well be a long distance relationship, one that is barely existent at this point. Denali knows it’s selfish to get upset about it; she still has Rosé, after all, so she can’t imagine how alone Mik must feel. But she can’t help it; the more Mik slips away, the more she wants him back, so bad that it hurts sometimes.

But there’s also a different kind of ache she and Rosé feel when Mik is away, one that may be a little superficial, sure, but is nonetheless one that Denali is particularly bad at leaving unattended. One that once again, she knows must be worse for Mik, seeing as he’s completely alone right now.

At least on the occasions that all three of them are free, it’s a lot easier to scratch that particular itch.

Michelada: guys im so horny

Denali rolls her eyes, shaking her head and laughing a little to herself as she reads her boyfriend’s message. He’s still in the UK right now, and if her math is correct, that means that it’s only around 1 PM where he is. As in, he’s probably still at work. When she says so, though, he seems unperturbed.

Michelada: hasn’t stopped you guys before

Michelada: sooooo

Michelada: sensing a double standard here

Denali hears Rosé cackle from the bathroom, and then her phone pings again.

Rosita: i mean

Rosita: im not opposed to shenanigans, you know that baby ;)

“Don’t encourage him!” Denali calls out, but of course Rosé doesn’t listen; she never does. The next text Denali gets is a picture of Rosé taken in the bathroom mirror, naked as the day she was born with an arm covering her tits.

God.

Michelada: ugh rosie don’t do this to me :((

Rosita: i thought u were horny, baby?

Rosita: gotta make up your mind xo

Another ping, and a second pic of Rosé comes through, this time biting down on one of her fingers through a devilish smirk. Denali shifts a little in her spot on the couch; as much as she doesn’t want to give in, it’s tantalizing, knowing that Rosé is just a word of permission away from being right next to her like that. And the fact that Mik could very well get caught, that they’ll be distracting him enough that he might falter, might give himself away?

Nali: i think it’s time you went on break, angel

She follows it up with a pic of her own, angling it so that both Mik and Rosé will be able to see right down her shirt. She hears a little gasp from the bathroom, and smiles to herself; Rosé is so easy, it’s almost funny. Both she and Mik are.

There’s a pause, and Denali almost wonders if Mik has been caught already, or if he’s changed his mind. She’s about to ask, but then the bathroom door opens, and she looks up to see Rosé coming towards her.

“Rosie…” she starts, but she doesn’t have time to get her full sentence out before there’s another ping.

Michelada: i have fifteen minutes

“Just enough time,” Rosé grins as she comes up behind Denali, drapes her arms over her shoulders and leans in to kiss the shell of her ear and letting out a little laugh when the sensation makes Denali squirm.

A call comes through not even a second later, and they’re greeted by the sight of Mik shut in a bathroom, cheeks already pink and pupils already dilated with lust.

“That was quick,” Denali smirks, but Mik doesn’t respond. One look behind herself, though, and Denali knows why.

“He’s only got fifteen minutes, D,” Rosé winks, clearly enjoying herself as she continues to play with her own tits, trailing her hands over them and palming them while grinning like the Cheshire cat. “Gotta maximize on that time, right?”

Well. She does have a point. And it’s not just Mik who’s mesmerized by the sight in front of him; watching Rosé continue to tease, still grinning cockily, is absolutely tantalizing, and Denali can’t help the sudden urge to touch her girlfriend that runs through her, making her shiver.

“Wanna touch, angel?” Rosé coos, taking her hands off herself long enough to grab Denali’s face, tilt her head up to look her in the eyes. “It’s okay--all you gotta do is say please.”

She swallows hard, mouth going dry as she nods, eyes trailing back down to Rosé’s bare tits. “Yeah. Yeah, I wanna… Please, Rosie, please can I touch you?”

“Of course you can.” Rosé purrs, coming around the couch slowly, teasingly, before coming right up to Denali, giving her a soft kiss as she throws a leg over Denali’s lap, easing down to straddle her.

“Hi, baby.”

There’s a whine behind them, one that jerks them out of the bubble Rosé has created, and Denali suddenly remembers Mik’s presence over the phone, that he’s watching everything going on.

“I think our sweet boy feels left out, Rosie.”

The remark is as much a taunt as it is a reminder, and Denali can’t help but peek over her shoulder to see how Mik is holding up. Sure enough, he’s already starting to come undone, cheeks flushed pink and mouth gaping open as he takes in what’s happening before him. His camera obscures what’s going on below his chest, but Denali knows Mik well enough to know from his stiff posture that he’s just waiting for permission to let go completely.

“Is that so?” Rosé turns to look over her shoulder, clicking her tongue in disapproval. “Poor baby, can’t even be close to us while we have fun. I hope you’re not touching yourself just yet, angel—it’d be a shame to get this over with too quickly, don’t you think?”

Mik swallows hard, but shakes his head, sucking in a sharp breath that’s just audible enough to go straight to Denali’s core.

“No, mommy, I’m not.”

“Good boy,” Rosé purrs before turning back to the blonde she’s currently straddling, looking her up and down discerningly.

Not even a heartbeat later, she starts easing off Denali’s lap, clicking her tongue when Denali squirms at the loss, lifts her hands to try and stop Rosé from moving.

“Don’t worry, sweetheart,” she grabs Denali’s hands, gently places them back onto her lap. “I’m just moving so Mik can get a better view. See?” She sits gently next to Denali, wrapping her arms around her waist and pulling her close. “Now, what d’you say we get you out of this pesky shirt, huh?”

Denali only nods, rushing to throw off her shirt as Rosé creeps her hands between Denali’s legs, lightly teasing her through her pajama pants.

“I’d suggest you start rubbing over your pants, baby boy.” Rosé throws the command back to Mik without even looking at him, too focused instead on increasing the pressure she’s placing on Denali’s pussy while bringing a free hand to her tits. Denali hisses in pleasure when Rosé’s fingers trace around a nipple, pinching lightly and watching with glee at how Denali’s hips buck at the feeling. Mik’s dissatisfied whines only spur Rosé on, though, and she ups the ante by leaning down to give Denali’s other nipple the attention of her tongue, sucking and nipping at the hardened bud.

“Rosie…” Denali gasps, only for the redhead to separate herself from Denali’s tit, coming up to lock eyes with her as she shakes her head.

“Look at Mik, sweetheart,” Rosé murmurs, her hands still moving, still working Denali up. “Look at what a mess he is watching you.”

Mik’s face is screwed up in frustration, pouting mouth trembling as his arm moves lightly, teasing at what’s going on out of the frame.

“What do you think, D, should we take pity on him?”

“Yes,” Denali answers without hesitation, closing her eyes in pleasure when her generosity is rewarded by Rosé finally slipping her hand below the waistband of Denali’s pajama pants, dragging light fingers along the blonde’s already-slick slit.

“You heard her, baby. You can touch yourself over your underwear now.”

“Thank you, mommy,” he gasps in relief, followed by a shaky breath when he dips his hand into his jeans.

“Don’t thank me, thank Denali,” Rosé simply shrugs. “Speaking of,” she turns her attention back to the blonde next to her, “How ‘bout we take things up a notch, huh?”

Denali doesn’t have time to ask what Rosé means before the older woman’s fingertips are making contact with her clit, tracing fast, yet light circles around it.

“Oh, fuck--”

“God, you have no idea how much this turns me on,” Rosé’s voice takes Denali’s breath away, low and husky in her ear as she continues to rub Denali’s clit. “Watching you and Mik like this, already such messes for me… fuck, makes me wet just listening to you whimper.”

“Why don’t you join us, then?” The idea clicks into Denali’s head instantly, and she has to admit, she loves the way Rosé’s eyes cloud over in confusion for a second, the redhead hesitating for a moment as she tries to figure out what Denali means. It’s the perfect opportunity for Denali to reclaim some power, grab Rosé’s hands and push her back to flip their positions so that Denali is straddling her.

“Mik, baby, you can play with yourself for real now,” she turns back to the camera and winks before wriggling out of her pajama pants, grabbing Rosé’s wrists and pinning them to her sides before closing the distance between them with a rough kiss. Behind them, Denali hears something close to a thank you from Mik, cut off by a strangled mewl that tells her he’s already close.

That’s okay; this shouldn’t take long.

Denali’s hips move naturally as they rut up against Rosé, their kiss deepening steadily as the two move in tandem against each other. Rosé traces her hands down over Denali’s back, down to her ass, and smirks against Denali’s tongue when the blonde moans at the touch. For her part, Denali isn’t exactly being gentle, either; while Rosé uses her grip on Denali’s ass to push her closer, force her to grind down harder, Denali snakes a hand into Rosé’s hair, tugging at the strands just to make her gasp.

“Love it when you make those sounds for me,” she breaks their kiss to suck a bruise onto the curve of Rosé’s neck, almost moaning herself from the way Rosé’s hips stutter at the taunt.

Behind her, Denali hears Mik curse from the phone, and she’s unable to resist looking back as she and Rosé continue to move against each other, their pace staying steady as Denali watches the sight on the other line.

Mik is a vision, one arm slightly out to capture the sight of his body as he gets himself off. A sheen of sweat covers his forehead, and his lip is swollen from the way he’s biting it, desperately trying not to make too much noise. His hand works patterns on himself that Denali knows well, ones she taught him, ones she experimented and trialled and perfected on his skin. Watching him now, Denali can’t help but speed up a little, a cue that both Rosé and Mik seem to take as they match her pace.

“ Fuck ,” Rosé hisses after Denali turns her attention towards her again, knowing that if she watches Mik any longer, she’s going to come right then and there; she doesn’t want that. She wants to come with Rosé and Mik both, all together.

Luckily, she knows exactly how to speed things up.

“What?” she coos, tracing a finger along Rosé’s cheek, trailing it along her jaw. “Are you close, Rosie? Gonna come for me and Mik already? Aww .”

Rosé nods, whimpering as Denali’s touch continues to travel over her body, down the line of her neck and then tracing along her collarbone.

“You’re so cute, you know that?” Denali continues between gasping breaths, channeling every bit of focus she has to keep the ability to speak while keeping up with the rhythm of Rosé’s hips, now becoming erratic from desperation. “Always acting all big and bad, like you’ve got control, but you just need to be put in your place, don’t you?”

The moan Rosé lets out is positively sinful, and when Denali looks back at Mik, his face is so red, his hand moving so fast that Denali knows he’s about to explode.

Time to finish things off, then.

“I’m gonna count to ten, then you’ll get to come, okay?” Denali says it loud enough for Mik to hear, but she doesn’t wait for a response; she doesn’t have the patience to.

“One… two…”

When ‘ten’ finally leaves her lips, Denali lets go, crying out loud enough that she’s afraid someone in Mik’s studio might hear what’s going on through the bathroom door. But she can’t help it; Rosé continues to grind against Denali through both their orgasms, and by the time Denali comes down fully, she’s too tired to do anything but collapse next to the other woman, completely spent.

“Fuck, you guys,” Mik’s breathy drawl jerks them both back to reality, and Denali can’t help but smile when she sees what a state their boyfriend is in; his clothes are mussed and cheeks are flushed, and there’s a dot of blood on his mouth from where he must have bitten through his lip trying to keep himself quiet.

“All better now?” she teases, laughing when he rolls his eyes, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand.

“I mean, I probably look like a mess, but yeah, I’m not horny anymore.”

“Give it five minutes,” Rosé mutters to Denali with a wry smile.

“Hey, I heard that!”

“Go and get cleaned up, babe.” Denali swats at Rosé as she addresses Mik, who’s busy pouting at them. “Call us when you’re done work, and have a good day, yeah?”

“Alright, bye gorge.” Mik sighs, and then just like that, the call is over, and Mik is gone again.

At least, mostly; not two seconds later, there’s another ping, and Denali checks her phone to see another message from Mik. More specifically, a picture of him in the mirror, still a mess, smiling and blowing them a kiss.

Michelada: gonna be thinking about u guys for the rest of the day

Michelada: love u sm <3

It’s not the same as having him next to her, not in the least. But as Denali stares at the picture, feels Rosé shuffle closer to look at it, too, it feels like enough.

Hi! I know your primary interest is the Todofam, but do you think the other members of the League like Shigaraki and Toga will be saved in teh end, too? Will they survive? Thank you! Love your blog.

Hey there, thanks for the ask! Thank you x10000, I'm glad you enjoy my blog 😭🤧

So, the reason I don't talk much about the other league members is because I'm super confident they'll be saved too because of how Hori has set up Shiggy and Toga to foil Deku and Ochako. The League members are distinctly separate from villains in general...the other villains like Muscular and AFO are depicted as recklessly violent without reason. They kill for the fun of it, like a sport. The League members are shown to have standards for how they'll do things (like trying not to steal from the poor) and do have legitimate grievances about hero society. They want change. The other villains are only blood thirsty. I think why I defend Dabi so hard in particular is because I'm a simp I'm a hothead who can't understand why some people are reading the manga so incorrectly. It's like reading Harry Potter and seeing takes that Harry deserved to be abused because he was so cheeky with his uncle and refused to stop going to Hogwarts. Lol.

[nomadical]

I would love to see you try your hand at a character like Connie, maybe even Glenn. I think you really capture certain characters well, maybe those who don't outwardly seem like a whole lot, or don't flaunt their skills and abilities but are actually a force of nature or secretly really bad ass. But really I think you could nail any character you write.

Based off my blog, what other characters could you see me Roleplay as?

// oh man! fun fact! i attempted to write glenn on a multi that i ended up not putting a whole lot of effort into. it was too big and got overwhelming. but i really did love the one thread i had as him. i’d love to write him more someday. maybe on a single bloggo when i have the time.

connie would be amazingly fun to try. she’s such a fucking bad ass. and i love her to death. aljkfa;lghj

thank you so much! you made my day suggesting them and you are so damn sweet to me. the feelings are returned x10000 cause you’d rock any character or genre you attempted. cause, damn, you got some talent.

i hope today was a good easter for julia. she loves holidays and we always made the biggest deal out of everything pre-covid and always had family over etc and she’s felt it over the last year, as in, felt the lack since we can’t do things like we used to. it sucks. we try our best but i feel like she always seems a little disappointed. but we’re trying. we did an easter egg hunt in the backyard. one half of our family decided to pretend the pandemic is over and have a food gathering anyway and acted salty about us not going (as if we’re in the wrong..) and the other half, we learned, does not plan on getting vaccinated even though they’re now eligible because they don’t trust the vaccine “yet”. sigh. it fucking sucks. the side of our family that had the gathering was great until one of them got vaccinated and then they just stopped caring about wearing masks for the rest of us and it makes me extremely angry because well ok i’m trying to be vague here, for no necessary reason, but its my husbands family. and i’m not close to my family. but his family has never disappointed me on such a grand scale (tried to do a social distanced visit for his mom yesterday for her birthday and she refused to wear a mask even though she works with the public every day)... and its like... her husband is vaccinated. kevin is. but julia and i are not. and neither is she. so it feels a lot like she doesn’t give a shit if we get sick and that obviously rubs me the wrong way x10000. i’m fucking over people’s irresponsibility.  then my parents did a socially distanced visit to give julia an easter gift and it’s fine. they at least always wear their masks. but they’re not planning to get vaccinated any time soon. and my mom just blurts out things that just.. ok. i had a miscarriage in november. and i’m not expecting other people to know how i feel, alright, but, i have been having a really hard time lately with it. its getting closer to what would’ve been my due date and i’m sad, ok? like its fucking hard. and i’m not pregnant again yet. and i gained a few lbs. and i’m not feeling great about anything and i just wish i hadn’t lost my baby. i think about it all the time, how they stopped growing the week we moved into this house and all i can think is, what if it was because of the move and all of it was my fault? because there were no abnormalities according to tests, so what was it? and it just sucks. but my mom was like “oh your cousin is pregnant. shes due in september. and did you hear about “_____”’’s daughter? her baby was born dead” .. and it’s like... can you fucking not. and right before she came over i saw a pregnancy announcement on instagram. and its just too much. and too many feelings today. between feeling inadequate on the holidays for my daughter, who also told me i’m boring today and dad is fun (a long story and she’s 3.5 i know kids say stupid shit but, i’m a sensitive asshole and it hurts ok. because i try so hard and i feel like my efforts are invisible. to everyone and everything.) and just feeling plain sad today because not only can i not spend the holidays with any extended family i almost feel like i dont know who they are anymore, with how they’ve been acting in regards to covid and all that. and holidays are just hard for me in general, i’ve noticed since covid. like i used to feel sad around the holidays because it always meant seeing my mom and now that i’ve had a full year of holidays where i dont have to interact with her all day long, i’m still fighting this overwhelming sadness that i don’t fully understand.

i’m just so tired. and now it also feels like there was no weekend because the last two days were so hectic and overwhelming. and i’m thrown back into another long and probably boring (she’s right) week and grasping at strings of things to do to keep julia happy and entertained when all she *really* wants is to socialize with people other than me and her dad ( which i understand ). and tuesday i get my vaccine (and i’m incredibly thankful for this) so i know i can count on potentially having at least two fatigues days this week on top of the norm. i just need a break.

Agents of Shield Rewatch 3x07 Chaos Theory

Fun fact: Chaos Theory is my guild name on World of Warcraft

Flashback fun: Melinda and Andrew in Hawaii. Let me tell you from experience Hawaii is an amazing place to date and fall in love. 

Oh nooo this is how he became Inhuman what a bad twist of luck

Andrew looks like he thinks an ATCU Inhuman Jello salad sounds like a tasty treat

Sorry for that mental picture forgive me

Nooo don’t let Andrew near my precious cinnamon roll Joey!

“Secrets can eat you up from the inside” that’s a little on the nose for a secret Inhuman killing machine

Fitz is very clearly trying to avoid talking too much about Will but still help Jemma

Oh Melinda my heart is breaking for her right now

Andrew is envisioning himself taking out Joey but he doesn’t do it which...thank you so much for that

Awww beautiful scene with Bobbi and Hunter I miss them so much

Ohhh Fitz my heart. His anger at the whole situation and then his sudden change at hearing her talking to him.

I appreciate that Lincoln has recognized that Mack is the best big brother he’ll ever have

Interesting that Lincoln was able to put together that Lash is in Shield

Don’t be mean to Daisy, Rosalind. She knows more about Inhumans than you.

Oopsie poopsie Andrew iced Melinda

I don’t see reconciliation in the books anymore

“Quite a strange feeling, isn’t it? Never wanting to be without someone.” 

This may be one of my favorite lines in this entire series because I get  it. Like I know exactly what that feels like. So many times people try to put love (and that’s exactly what this is) in so many expressive and flowery words thinking that can make people feel the depth of their emotions, but for me this is it. I know this feeling so well. And it is a strange feeling. After 15+ years or so I’m still not quite used to it, but it’s still there all the same.

Poor Fitz didn’t even know how Jemma felt and there she was planning their entire future hahaha how very Jemma

It is interesting hearing Andrew describe his change after the terrigen

“I lashed out” lol how punny

Good detective work by Lincoln and Mack

Lincoln is breaking my heart here too saying that Andrew is going to disappear at some point and completely become Lash

Andrew is being kind of manipulative here bringing up the past and stuff which is very not cool

I can understand why Lincoln is getting upset about this. Lash has killed a lot of his friends. 

Oh no, May having to see Andrew transform :(x1000

Daisy did a very good thing saving Rosalind

Why is May always having to make the hard calls like this???

LEAVE MELINDA MAY ALONE 2020

“I’m just going to say what we’re all thinking: he has a hogface” HUNTER NO

Followed by the every so slightly whispered “He does have a hogface” FITZ NO

HAHAHA I LOVE THEM

May asking Daisy what to do about Andrew :(x10000

“That’s in Scotland” Haaaaaaaaahahaha this is of vital importance to Fitz

There’s so many layers in this conversation between Jemma and Fitz. Fitz gives her an out to say she doesn’t love him anymore by giving her the excuse of being dehydrated and out of her mind, but Jemma quickly reassures him that she was clearheaded and knew exactly what she was saying. That she still loves him. Then she asks him what they should do about it. How do they navigate this situation knowing that she has the strongest of feelings for him even still? Fitz tells her they should watch the sunrise together. In other words, he’s giving her what she couldn’t have on Maveth. Sunrise with someone she loves.

More than that, watching the sunrise is clearly a symbol of their relationship evolving and starting a new day as it were. Their feelings are much more out in the open now, and they are so strong that they cannot be held back (as we will soon see). 

Also, Will was Jemma’s last resort as the sun was down and there was no hope while Fitz is Jemma’s first and best and strongest choice with the promise of sunrise and new days full of love and friendship and a future.

YES FITZ IS JEMMA’S FIRST CHOICE 

Nooooooooo Melinda was happy and then everything went wrong

Andrew is right about one thing though, Melinda May deserves every happiness in the world

After all that beautiful love we have a stupid Ward bit to deal with blah who cares you suck

Oh snap bad Hydra guy was talking to Rosalind right after she got it with Phil what a zany situation

This episode is rough man. 500/10 on the BREAKING MY HEART scale. Also a 15/10 on the Fitzsimmons scale. 100/10 on the LEAVE MELINDA MAY ALONE scale. Plus Lincoln and Mack get my official Good Detective Seal of Approval.

Also Melinda May needs to stop going to tropical islands with men because NOTHING GOOD FOR HER HAPPENS THERE.

The song for this episode is “Distance” by Christina Perri ft. Jason Mraz for very obvious reasons.

[sketchy-saram]

Oooh for Felix for the Apprentice ask, I'll say 3 and 16? :')

Sorry for the delay~! So let’s see, your questions were: 3,  How does your apprentice take their coffee? Do they even drink coffee? If not, what do they drink instead to put pep in their step?:

Felix is one of those people who can just be like...awake and functioning without coffee, lol. He’s almost always chipper and happy sans any kind of aid. However, he does of course drink things like coffee and tea, and he drinks it with x10000 sugar. He has a major sweet tooth. >v>

And 16,  Does your apprentice enjoy the luxury of the palace and Nadia’s gifts or do they find it overwhelming?:

Felix found the luxury of the palace quite overwhelming when he first arrived! He’s just a simple guy who was used to living on a boat, lol. But he got used to it pretty quickly, especially since he was just an employee, and he carries that mindset over even when he and Ad get closer--he still sticks to his schedule and work times.

I imagine that Nadia buys him things though, especially when it becomes apparent that Advieh likes having him around, but for his part Felix wants for nothing. He’s not a ‘material goods’ kind of dude. Though if Ad gave him anything, he would treasure it immensely. <3 (And here is just a very self-indulgent picture, ha ha.) 

Thank you so much for the fun asks!! <3

I came down with a cold and I’m MISERABLE I seriously cannot handle this very mild throat ache and minor case of the sniffles WHY IS HAVING A COLD SO MUCH HARDER THAN ANYTHING ELSE ugh where’s my fainting couch I need my fainting couch 

Oh gosh this is what happens when you’re dramatic over having a cold: you forget to tag!! THANK YOU @diligent-thunder FOR THE TAG, and in return I tag ahhhhh, ahh, who hasn’t been tagged yet?? @rockmarina, @rhirta, @dwimmerlaiks YES I KNOW YOU DO ART but this totally applies to art as well, ummm and whoever feels like it!! Ok NOW bring me my fainting couch

Author Name: Tepre

Fandoms You Write For: Harry Potter!! I’ve dabbled in others over the years, but HP was my birthplace and it’s where I currently reside. 

Where You Post: AO3 and here! I started out in the eaaaarly early 00s on forums, graduated to lj back in the day, and then reluctantly shuffled here after the final strikethrough. 

Most Popular One-Shot: I thiiiink Down a Hill? Good ol’ foggy-glassed, sex-pollen induced runtimes in the greenhouse while plants wave at you in the distance, eyyy

Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story: I only have ONE of those so easy enough, Grounds for Divorce, my angsty wangsty accidental bonding baby where everyone is just the worst

Favourite Story You Wrote: EvER?? Lord what a question. I love and hate them all at different stages. Even in the process of writing. I’m currently working on this thing and I waver between being IN LOVE WITH IT and wanting to bin it all forever at least 3 times a day. But, I guess, at this very moment, I have warm feelings for It Is I Who Will Surely Expire? Coming up with elaborate anxiety-and-love-induced scenarios at 3AM is all I ever do and knowing it resonated with other anxious love beans out there just fills me with ❤️, so yeah, that one today!

Story You Were Nervous to Post: LITERALLY. ALL. OF. THEM. GfD was.......extra. God I was pissing myself. I was on a train sitting next to a business man and the tags weren’t working and I had to type ‘anal sex’ like 6 times over and I was scHWETZING and I was sure it was all gonna tank and fall and all the build up and all those months had just been an exercise of obsession between me and myself and no one would feel all the things I’d felt and and and and and x10000

How Do You Choose Your Titles: ahahaha ok so uh. In the past, back when I was writing in other fandoms, my approach to titles was uh...lax? And eventually it kind of infuriated people because I’d title something “LOL IDK FANFIC I GUESS” and it’d be like 60k angst and people RIGHTFULLY pointed out that they needed more of a heads up, in terms of what they were getting into. These days, a lot of time the title comes to be before the actual meat of the plot. GfD was like that, I was listening to that song and wondering: what if they were married, but didn’t want to be, and the whole story is about them looking for a way out--a grounds for divorce--and by the time they find it, they’re so far from who they were at the beginning they don’t know if they want it anymore? That’s how that started, and then the story was shaped AROUND that. For the most part, though, I look for the title in the story itself. It’s usually in there, somewhere. 

Do You Outline: CONSTANTLY FOR EVERYTHING 

Complete: 10 on ao3! but listen I’ve been in fandom for 18 odd years I’ve written MANY bad bad BaaAad fics that aren’t on here and that I’ve left behind me like a very unappetising smutty trail of old crumbs. So in that sense? SURELY HUNDREDS. Thousands! Including self-insert fic, a choose-your-own-adventure fic, and a comment from tiny teen me on a cbbc forum about what Dumbledore’s fashion choices would be if he were to dress as a muggle. 

In-Progress: Ugh too many. One big one, several small ones, dozens of loose-ended ideas. I’m writing something from Draco’s nov, which I haven’t done yet, so that’s fun!! ALSO I have one BIG original work that, boy, boy oh boy I hope that works out. 

Coming Soon/Not Yet Started: This is the mental status I have for each on every one of them COMING SOON/NOT YET STARTED 

Do You Accept Prompts: SURE!! I am a messy chaos wind blowing in from the east with the attention span of a puppy and a 0.04 memory span so you can definitely go for it and try but aiiii I cannot promise anything. But inbox always open, lovelies <3 

Upcoming Story You Are Most Excited to Write: myself into a reality where I longer have thiS COLD UGH take it awAY FROM MEEe

”I’m telling you, this is not a good idea,” Doyoung had worry written all over his face. “Driving this late isn’t safe. You should just sleep over.”

“As fun as that sounds, I won’t for the sake of you guys,” you sat down in the driver’s seat and looked at the group that had come out to see you off. “Knowing us, we’d probably end up staying up the whole night talking about the stupidest things. I don’t want to be the one responsible for your tiredness tomorrow.”

“That’s better than you getting hurt, though,” Jungwoo mumbled.

“We could ask hyung to drive you home,” Mark suggested and you shook your head immediately.

“I don’t want him to dislike me any more than he does already. Just relax. I’ll be fine,” you smiled reassuringly. This wasn’t the first time you drove home that late. It had happened several times over the summer.

Before they could voice any more objections, you pulled the car door close and waved them through the window before starting the car and driving off. You could see them from the mirror and chuckled a little. Their worry warmed your heart and made you feel safer in a way. Of course, it wouldn’t be able to physically protect you, but it was still nice to know that they would do their best to help if something did happen.

Despite the dark, you didn’t have any problems. There were some other cars too and you felt even safer. You listened to music and hummed along to it, on a good mood. Surprisingly enough, you weren’t that tired even though it was already midnight. Maybe it was the fact that hanging out with the guys often energized you to an unbelievable extent. Or the fact that they had made coffee for you in preparation for a variety show appearance they had coming up. You had unexpectedly become their taste tester and ended up drinking enough coffee to last the whole night. Surely this won’t be good for my sleeping schedule,you had thought while sipping the coffee. Nevertheless, you had felt good about being able to help them out, so you considered the trouble worth it.

One of NCT’s older songs started playing and you smiled widely. It always brought back memories of the time you had the opportunity to work with them for the first time on a reality show. They had all seemed so lost and nervous as the format had been new for them. You had tried your best to encourage them and be kind to them. Eventually, it had become an unbelievably fun experience for both and you always looked back on it with a wide smile. The show had, in fact, also been - surprisingly enough - the start of your close friendship with them.

The memories of those times put you in a happy daze. Memories played in your head like a movie and before you even knew it, you lost control of the car. As the car traveled towards the side of the road, you hit your head and lost consciousness.

***

“- never let you drive again. I swear to god, you idiot, I’ll eat your driver’s license,” you woke up to a familiar voice.

You started hearing beeping noises and a weird smell made you frown a little. The smell of a hospital room.

“What if something worse happened? I could be mourning a loss right now,” Doyoung’s voice kept talking and you heard him walk around. “I swear, next time I’ll lock you up at the dorm so you can’t leave that late in the night.”

Struggling a little, you opened your eyes. The light hurt your eyes and you frowned. “Why is it so bright in here?” you asked with a raspy voice.

Doyoung hurried over to you immediately. First he looked relieved, then worried. “Thank lord… Are you hurting anywhere?”

Your whole body ached, but it wasn’t like you were in agonizing pain. “Why are you here?” you decided to ask. “What time is it? What about your schedules?”

He crossed his arms. “A certain someone got hospitalized,” he looked at you with a frown. “I couldn’t not come. We spontaneously decided to announce that I got sick. Good thing we don’t have music show recordings today. That would have been a total mess. Not that this isn’t already.”

You felt bad. “You should’ve just gone with the others. I’m fine.”

“Is that something to say when you literally just broke your leg and almost broke your back?” he nagged. “You could have died, you know! Can you even imagine how shocked we were when we were informed of your accident?”

“Wow, it was that bad?” you were surprised. “I don’t really feel anything.”

“Well, I guess the medication is doing its work then,” he sat down on the chair next to the bed and sighed. “Anyway, you’re never driving again. I will personally drive you if needed but I am not letting you sit down behind the wheel ever again.”

“Did the accident hurt others?” you asked cautiously, ignoring his nagging. “I didn’t crash into anyone, right?”

“Luckily, no one else was harmed,” he informed you and you let out a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness,” you exclaimed.

“Is this a time to feel relieved?” he asked. “You were still hurt! This is serious, _____!”

Looking at him, you felt somewhat amused. He was obviously just shocked from the accident and worried about you at the same time, which caused him to overreact. You let out a small chuckle of amusement.

“Anyway,” he sighed. “Do you want something to eat? I can fetch something from the cafeteria for you.”

Before you could respond, the door of the room opened and a doctor walked in. “Oh, you’re awake. Marvelous,” she smiled.

Doyoung was told to leave and the doctor inspected you. She told you about your injuries and you found out that the fracture on your leg was not very serious. Nor did you almost break your back, unlike Mr. I’ll-eat-your-license had told you.

“It does need some time to properly heal, though,” she explained. “It would be best not to walk with it, so we’re giving you crutches for a few months. It would also be best for you to stay here for a few days so we can monitor your state.”

She went on to explain a few other things before telling you to rest. When she left, Doyoung came back inside with plastic bags in his hands, this time accompanied by a few others; your best friends from the group. Jungwoo looked like he was about to break down in tears, Mark was frowning in worry and Lucas just seemed happy to see you. You smiled excitedly at them and they walked over to the bed, all having drastically different expressions on their faces.

“I lived, boys,” you stated with a grin.

“Oh lord,” Jungwoo wept.

“Hell yeah you did,” Lucas grinned.

“Are you hurting a lot?” Mark worried.

You shook your head. “I’m not that badly injured. There’s a very minor fracture on my leg but the doctor said it can be easily treated with a cast. And, I didn’t sustain any other injuries,” you gave Doyoung a look.

Mark seemed a little relieved and you smiled at him.

“How about your schedules?” you asked the three. “Are you done for today?”

“Such things don’t matter in a situation like this,” Jungwoo stated, wiping his teary eyes.

His actions only amused you.

“We have a break now. The next schedule starts in an hour,” Mark explained. “The rest went back to the dorms to rest. They wanted to come, too, but were afraid that too many people could be overwhelming to you. Besides, the risk of getting recognized grows the more people are here at once.”

“It’s okay,” you smiled. “Tell them not to worry about me and that I understand. Anyways, have you guys eaten anything yet?”

They shook their heads.

“Good thing I bought this, then,” Doyoung lifted the plastic bags in the air and everyone looked at them in curiosity.

He walked over to your bed and spilled the contents on it. You four all looked at the variety of food with sparkling eyes and the guys quickly gathered around the bed. Lucas sat down next to you after you made some room for him and the rest sat down opposite you.

With food and your comforting words, Jungwoo became his cheerful self in no time, telling you jokes and making you all laugh with his actions. Mark loosened up and laughed loudly with Lucas as Jungwoo joked around. Doyoung laughed along, too, while taking care of you by handing you more food once you finished what you had been eating. Time flew by and you almost forgot that you were in a hospital by the time you finished eating.
