hii, i don't know if you still accept requests, but i love your writing and as a huge TLC fan i would really like to read something like Kai finding out he was Cinder's first kiss, it's just an idea but i think it would be so cute!!
"Tell me," he begged, his hands slipping down her waist as she scrambled to escape.
"No!" Cinder tried in vain to wriggle away, but on this couch that was definitely not meant for two, she was pinned under Kai's weight.
"Why not?" he pleaded, eyes sad and mouth pouty. "I told you mine."
Hearing the dejection, she stilled. Looking up at him, she bit her lip, stroking her metal hand along the stubble on his 3-day post shave jaw.
She was cursing herself internally. Sure, Kai had been the one to suggest they play hooky and spend their afternoon watching netdramas instead of writing legislative briefs. Sure, Kai had been the one to choose a D-Grade retelling of their love story, "The Key to My Metal Heart." They'd turned it off after twenty-minutes because Cinder swore if she had to see 'herself' moan about how she had 'always been' desperate for a boyfriend, she would shoot someone. The writers, maybe. Herself. Her mean husband for torturing her in the first place.
Kai had done all this. But when the Kai onscreen tearfully confessed that he'd never even kissed a girl, Cinder had been the one to ask Kai to verify his first kiss. And so, naturally, he reciprocated the question.
He frowned, deflating. "I won't you make fun of you, if that's why you won't tell me."
She looked away. "It's embarrassing."
"The Kai in the movie said he had such bad body odour that girls would run away from him. It can't be that embarrassing."
When she looked to the coffee table, averting her gaze, Kai changed his tactic, wrapping his arms around her in a hug instead of a hold. He smushed his cheek against hers.
"It was you," she murmured.
At this admission, he turned his head, casting her a quizzical glance. "What's wrong with that?"
She shuffled back into the pillows. "You didn't kiss me back."
After a moment, he barked out a laugh. "Cinder, you kissed me in front of the entire ballroom of people after telling me Levana was going to kill me. I was understandably confused."
She scrunched her nose. Kai shifted, releasing her from his arms and kissed that nose. "I promise I wanted to. You just surprised me. You're good at that."
"You mean it?"
"Is your lie detector flashing?"
Seeing no orange light, she smiled, assuaged. "I should've told you it was someone else. To make you jealous."
"You loser."
But this time when she kissed him, he was definitely kissing her back.

@therealkaidertrash21 @hayleblackburn I saw this post and thought "why does that description seem familiar?" 😂
i was just trying to find a kaider scene, that I thought was in Winter, and it turns out IT DOESN'T EXIST. it was just a fic I took as cannon, and I think I read it recently but I don't know WHO wrote it.

what color is levana’s natural hair?
Brown, according to Winter, "a lighter shade of brown" than her glamour.

wolf headcanons. i DEMAND it.
Since you asked so nicely 😂
Here's one, and another.
I'll give you a new Wolf headcanon. When Scarlet and Wolf have their first child, he struggles with sleep deprivation. Due to his super hearing, he can hear even the tiniest mewl from their newborn and it makes him restless. Scarlet gets pretty tired of him being tired and finally commands him to go into the nursery and sleep there so he can stop worrying so much. Wolf goes in and lies on the mat beside the cot. When the baby fusses he reaches his hand through the bars to pat the baby to sleep, and he himself falls asleep like that, with his hand resting on the baby. This becomes routine and eventually the fluffy rug has a permanent imprint of a tall man curled into a ball.
As years pass, this hearing becomes a bane for the kiddos. Their whispers to scheme to get out of chores or to blame the dog for broken mugs are overheard by Dad. Scarlet is pretty firm on their bedtime rule, but one of the kids sneaks their port under their covers and plays video games at night. This is a pretty foolproof system until the kid gets out of bed at 10:40 and stubs his toe on the bedpost. He doesn't manage to stifle a cry.
Soon, Wolf is rushing into the room. When he sees the port on the bed, the kid lies and says this is the only time he's played games past lights out. Wolf admits that he's heard the game music every night but as long as it's turned off before 11, he's okay with it. The kids realise that Dad is pretty chill, fangs and all.

ALRIGHT so like after rereading the stars above epilouge i’ve been reminded of one of my like biggest head cannon question and it’s when how does kaider announce to their friends they’re engaged? AND I FEEL LIKE YOU WOULD KNOW SO I PUR MY TRUST IN YOU BITCH 🫶🫶
You're no longer Ken! 😂
Ugh, I struggle with scenes like these! It's the same reason I never write weddings or proposals for characters: I'm content to leave those things as unknowns because if I try to boil it down to one idea I always feel it's too important a moment to be captured. So in this case, I think it could go so many ways!
I do love a simple just telling their friends over dinner. Say they all reunite again a few months after Wolflet's wedding. Everyone yelling over the top of each other, arguing to pass the bread rolls, 'stop hogging the salad' and Thorne trying to steal Jacin's seat. Cinder and Kai stand up, waiting for the chaos to subside. It doesn't, so Kai shouts, "hey! listen!" They all fall silent. Kai and Cinder smile giddily, link hands and announce, "we're engaged!" And of course chaos breaks out. Good this time.
Another version is a little more crack.
Cinder just starts wearing the engagement ring around her friends. But since they are all spread out over the galaxy, it's a gradual process. Kaider have fun with this. Once their friends notice, they ask them to stay quiet to see how long it takes for the others. Cinder told Iko personally, so she's bursting at the seams but restrains herself. Scarlet notices first and is of course ecstatic. Wolf doesn't notice the ring but does notice Scarlet's high heart rate as she struggles not to blab to him. He keeps asking if she's okay, then she points at Cinder, and he eventually figures it out. "Oh," he says finally. "Oh?!" Scarlet yells, "how did you not notice?" Wolf admits that he doesn't pay much attention to things other than her. Winter is next. She says something like "oh dear cousin, every little soldier in my frozen palette manufacturing plant is rejoicing at this news." And Cinder just has the lady processing maths face and asks, "so you're...happy for us?" Cress doesn't notice. Thorne does and, after whooping and congratulating them, immediately inspects the ring and starts guessing how much it would sell for on the black market. Cinder doesn't let him near it after that. Cress looks on--confused--and whispers to Kai, "is the ring important?" Kai smirks and replies, "well I suppose, but I hope she didn't say yes only for the ring." Then comes the, "wait, did you propose?" and the squealing. With her sheltered upbringing, Cress forgot which hand the wedding ring is on and didn't pay attention to it. So then all that's left is Jacin. He didn't notice when Winter did, and he didn't notice when they were all together for dinner on Luna. He doesn't notice at the peace ball, or Winter's diplomatic mission to the Commonwealth, or even when they are all playing cards and the ring is adamantly on the display. Months pass and everyone is frustrated waiting for this guy to get a clue. Meanwhile, Thorne likes to make a game out of it: "Cinder is engaged...in a very serious work meeting." "Can you believe Kai is moving onto his second wife already? At his age?" Winter is the most frustrated of all because she can't speak of wedding plans with the one person she speaks to the most. So one day she pulls up a photo of Cinder and Kai, hand visible, and asks, "do you notice anything different about them, Jacin?" Jacin snorts and says, "yeah, Kai looks stupid in those pink sunglasses." "No, they're engaged!" Anyway Jacin knew the whole time. He just never acknowledged it because he never cared. At least, that's what everyone else thinks. But Jacin was having lots of fun with it.
As I said I just can't settle on anything definite! So I want to hear everyone's headcanons for it!

Kai and cinder talking about who their first kisses and when it’s Cinder’s turn she starts being all funny, whether or not Kai knows that it’s him, and she’s like “He was kind of a dorky guy, but he was really cute. But definitely a big dork”
I actually love the idea that Kai doesn't know that he was Cinder's first kiss. Honestly she could keep that as a running joke for years. Kai would always guess: was it a customer? One of Peony's friends? And then Cinder would finally put him out of his misery and admit that it was him and he'd be fuming 😂

Who do you think would refer to cinder as selene? and also Do you think cinder an Kai would call each other love
The public. Winter. Kai, sometimes.
Have you read my fics? I'm throwing out 'love' every other sentence.

Cinder being called “Cin” is very cute. Are there any other things you think they’d do when they’re closer that weren’t mentioned
I think Kai picks out some of her outfits for her. When Cinder isn't sure what to wear and Iko isn't around to babysit her, Kai picks out an outfit for Cinder along with the jewellery. Kai braids Cinder's hair when she's brushing her teeth because he wants to know how to do it on their future daughters; Cinder won't be able to as the hair gets caught in hand metal hand joints.
Cinder--despite having dreadfully limited cooking skills--learns how to cook from Kai's mother's recipes. She keeps it a surprise, and the look of Kai's face when he comes home from work and smells his mother's cooking makes all the spilled sauce and accidental burnt ingredients worth it. When he takes his first bite, Kai has tears in his eyes. He gives suggestions on things that would make it more authentic to the original recipe.
At the end of a long, tiring day, they go for a run around the gardens together, rain or shine. The palace guards get pretty used to them whizzing past, laughing and chatting to each other.

Kaider’s children thinking that Cinder’s name was “Love” when they were younger because Kai would always call her that. Or, they thought both their parents’ names were Love. OR they thought both their parents’ names were “Your Majesty” because others would call them that
This says Wolflet to me...Wolf calling Scarlet love all the time so their kids think that's her name....
It's a very cute concept, but I don't personally headcanon it for Kaider. Seeing as Cinder has two names, I think they would explain that to their children to avoid confusion. Also the kid would hear their aunts and uncles call their parents by their names. Remember, Cinder and Kai would be "Aunty Cinder" and "Uncle Kai" to the rest of the Rampion crews' kids, so the kaider kids would know their parents' names from an early age (I like the idea of them using the Mandarin equivalent of aunt and uncle.)
The 'Your Majesty' one is hilarious though--the kids thinking that's mum and dad's second name or something 😂But that means the prince and princess probably think 'Your Highness' is their name as well because they're called that so often.

what antics of Kai’s do you think would make Cinder crack whenever she tries to maintain a cool façade?
Mostly the ones related to their work. You have to be solemn and responsible as a politician, and Cinder gets tired of people not take her seriously so she begins working on her 'politician face'.
When she's practising her speeches, she'll look at herself in a mirror to maintain a straight face. Kai sits behind her and makes silly faces to try and get her to crack. When she doesn't, he comes right up in her face poking out his tongue. It doesn't work either.
But then the first time after this that Cinder has a meeting, she's doing well, keeping it cool, when her eyes land on Kai. He merely winks, but the memory of the practising comes back and she cracks up. Everyone else at the meeting thinks she's having an asthma attack and calls for a doctor, so she gets away with it.
The other one is inside jokes. They of course have a lot of them and Kai likes to slip them into his speeches veiled in innocuous phrases. The public catch on that a lot of the time, Empress Selene is biting her lip and smiling during Kai's speeches. Thorne mentions on his podcast that Kai is trying to make her laugh and it immediately becomes a public game. People betting on how many times the emperor will succeed and trying to understand what the inside joke is from the vague references in the speech.

If you’re up for it, you should write a fic about Kai’s parents meeting and her family in the Japanese countryside
That's a cool idea!
*my three wips glare at me*
...maybe for another time 😅

a pretty girl wouldn't betray him 🙃
honestly it's a testament to how head-over-heels kai is that he literally just tells cinder everything. all the time. the thought that she could be a spy never even crosses his mind. like sweetie maybe you SHOULDNT blatantly tell her you think levana is evil

everyone on Pinterest casting random skinny red heads for Scarlet but it’s cannon that she’s chubbier and curvy so like?? It’s like they only go with hair color
Listen...I don't think any of them considered a single defining feature other than the characters' hair colour...and even then you have Chris Hemsworth as Thorne, a blond. So it's safe to say there's very little serious consideration put into these fancasts.
But we must acknowledge the fact that a lot of these fancasts were made 6+ years ago (and I believe those ones I got from pinterest are also old). Hopefully the ones made now are better as fandoms are generally more scrupulous with characters being cast accurately according to age, ethnicity and body type.

@thetlctrash the Titanic fic is Unsinkable by @salt-warrior!
I’ve recently come to understand that having read nearly 1000 TLC fanfics is not a normal thing to have done. So many have been deleted. What if I am the only person that remembers the long deleted TLC x Stampylongnose Minecraft crossover fic.
