Fic Writer Interview
Thank you for the tag @mercurygray!
How many works do you have on AO3?
Currently 6, but hopefully that number will go up over spring break
What's your total AO3 word count?
119,136
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Like A Girl (Like A Man) - Band of Brothers
Just A Kid - The Outsiders
Bear The Burden Alone - The Chronicles of Narnia
For Whatever We Lose - Band of Brothers
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, absolutely! I share my writing because it allows me to connect with people who share my interests. If I'm not posting replies, it feels more like a one sided conversation, imo. Also, it seems the polite thing to do
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
It's about to be Like A Girl (Like A Man)! You'll see why soon >:)
What the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
On AO3, it's probably Bear The Burden Alone, but I try to keep the fics that I post here on Tumblr kinda upbeat with hopeful -- albeit open-ended -- endings.
Do you write crossovers?
Yeah! For Whatever We Lose is actually a crossover with The Pacific, and I'd love to do more crossovers in the future
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yep! I've deleted the comments, but some people were VERY ANGRY about the background Babe/Roe content in LAGLAM -- you know, despite the fact that the plot of the fic is driven by a queer woman's decision to cross-dress. Guess they had to draw the line somewhere, but the hypocrisy of it all makes me chuckle
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Kinda? I deleted most of it from the original LAGLAM drafts and instead just alluded to it, but things are going to be different in FWWL. Get ready for crappy ocean metaphors and religious imagery, babes!
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I hope not :( That would stink
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not to my knowledge
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, but I think it would be fun!
What's your all-time favorite ship?
Everlark! (said while frothing at the mouth because they make me go insane) I've been obsessed with them since I first read The Hunger Games at age 9. I could write you a whole novel about why I think they're perfect together, but I'll spare you the ramble (unless anyone wants it?)
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
Tears in my eyes when I tell you that it's probably the requests in my inbox. I keep telling myself that I'll get to them, but I've just felt unmotivated with all the stuff I've had going on in my personal life/at school. I really really do hope to get to them someday, though, because some of them will be really fun to write
What are your writing strengths?
I have no clue, lol. I tend to get compliments about how I describe settings, so I'm gonna say that!
What are your writing weaknesses?
My abuse of commas and italics.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
Personally, I love doing it. Especially in a fic like LAGLAM, where even though most people don't speak the language I'm using (Cherokee), I feel like they can still see the importance to the characters and to the story. And I like tricking people into caring about Indigenous language preservation. My teachers told me that anything can be a vessel for carrying language on, and by God, I took that to heart
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Oh boy. I was in the fifth grade. I had won many writing competitions. Two classmates approached me and told me that they wished The Hunger Games had more post-Mockingjay Everlark content, and that since I was a good writer, they wanted me to write it. I was traded many cosmic brownies and other such snacks throughout the year for my services in providing my classmates with Everlark fics on pages of notebook paper that are probably crumpled up in a landfill by now. At the time, I had no idea I was writing fanfiction, but it was the start of my favorite hobby. Look at me now, baby!
What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?
I've always wanted to write for TURN: Washington's Spies but have never had the courage haha
What's your favorite fic you've written?
I have a couple of one-shots that I'm pretty pleased with, but currently I'm going to say LAGLAM because it's been so special to me <3
Tagging (but no pressure!): @almost-a-class-act @latibvles @footprintsinthesxnd @liebgotts-lovergirl

Welcome to our first Contributor Interview segment! We’ll be interviewing several contributors over the course of the Anthology Timeline and asking them some questions about their experiences in the Hetalia fandom.
Our first interview comes from our wonderful director @frukmerunning and you can read it below
How did you discover Hetalia?
“I think I discovered it the way most people do… at the middle school lunch table. I was in 5th grade, and one of my close friends had just discovered Hetalia. They proceeded to assign all of us a country (as you do) and I was Austria. I was immediately entranced by the prospect of a piece of media geared towards history (I was a nerd) but I wouldn’t actually watch Hetalia until 3 years later. During the time in-between I did build a small empire on Hetalia iFunny… despite not having seen the show.
In 8th grade I finally sat down and watched Hetalia. English dub, on Hulu. Thus began an obsession that would completely change the trajectory of my life.”
Who is your favorite character? Why?
“Austria for sure! I’ve always had a thing for the slightly snobby, rude, abrasive characters - Kyoya from Ouran, Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh, and Zuko from ATLA being among my childhood favorites. Austria was the ideal candidate from Hetalia. He also has all of the best lines, my favorite being “I do love the hard way… but I suppose I could just submit to you ;) “
On a deeper level, Austria is coded to be Jewish, and I didn’t have much representation for that part of my identity as a young person, so I tended to gravitate to any character I could project that onto.
I also ended up being a professional musician… so yeah… Austria.”
What was your first Hetalia OTP? Current Hetalia OTP?
“When I first got into Hetalia, I didn’t know that people could be gay. The first gay fanart I ever saw was of Germany and Italy, I still remember that fanart clearly. I was 12, so the thought of two men being together was something I’d never considered, and seeing that fanart shook me to the core. I’m not sure if it made me ship GerIta, though.
For certain, I remember loving PruAus since their first interaction in season 2 (I think???) of Axis Powers. PruAus has never left my mind, though I’ve had many different OTPs in my 13 years in the fandom. Right now, I have a deep love and appreciation for ItaPan, and I don’t think that’s going away any time soon.”
What is your best memory associated with the fandom?
“In 2020 I started designing a Hetalia game (that we will finish someday) and I ended up making friends with two of the writers that joined me on that project. Later one of them started a small personal server and invited me to join, along with a few others. Flash forward to the next year and 5 of us from that server decided to all meet up! I hopped into a “strangers” car and drove 2 states over to sleep on the floor of another “stranger” despite the protests of my mother. We had a great time being together, watching anime, exploring the big city, and we even spent an entire afternoon making an entire convoluted self-insert AU with as many characters as we could fit in. Since then we’ve had many more visits and trips, and I hope we continue to do so in the future <3
These people are the dearest friends I’ve made from the fandom, four of us even have matching circle tattoos (you know… draw a circle, that’s the earth). I’m so grateful for my friendship with them, and I wouldn’t have ever known them without Hetalia.”
If you were framed for murder, what character would you want as your Defense Attorney?
“Probably England, I would definitely end up in jail, but at least I would be entertained. Though maybe France would be the Prosecutor and the judge would get so annoyed that they’d throw the case out.”
Consider for a moment that all of the characters are real. Who would be your best friend? Your worst enemy?
“I think Japan and I are very similar, we would spend a lot of time alone together. But we would need a 3rd, more energetic person to keep things interesting and to make sure that we actually hang out. I would also get along with Germany and England.
As for my worst enemy, I think I would hate France. He would flirt with me but not actually mean it and then I would get attached to him and get my feelings hurt :( “
Which Hetalia character is most likely to commit tax evasion, in your opinion?
“If you are a follower of the AAACU, you know the answer to this question is Italy and Japan… just don’t tell Germany (he’s a snitch)”
Do you have a favorite Hetalia fanfiction?
“I’ve loved many a Hetalia fanfiction over the years. This fandom is home to so many creative and talented writers that I would be here all day listing my favorites and telling you all about what they mean to me.
One, however, stands above the rest. “Sign a new agreement with itunes” which was written in 2014 and can be found on Livejournal. It is a human au featuring France and England and their journey from unlikely roommates and friends to inseparable lovers. This fic completely influenced how I see France and England, and maybe even a little bit of how I think about romance. It’s very much worth the read.”
In one sentence, describe what Hetalia means to you.
“I can’t believe a bunch of stupid country people completely changed the trajectory of my life.”

Hello, there! How have you been? Have you seen the latest Coway promo? Don’t the members look stunning? I’m loving the natural hair on them. I’m also truly loving JM’s short dark/hair (he looks so powerful like this - even if I’m still holding out hope for him to dye it) and Jungkook has long hair!?! Extensions maybe? I’m in love. They’re also doing so much? This coway promo, they’ve got whatever they’re cooking up with the MyBTSTracks, the BTS Weekend photos (from last year, but still) and today’s the start of the ‘Proof of Inspiration’…there’s just so much going on. I’m a little overwhelmed given that it’s not 8 a.m yet for me😵💫
Anyway, I was wondering if you, or anyone you know, has any idea if the Membership Army Kit is gonna switch up themes soon? I wanna get it, maybe, but I don’t know how much I love the ‘at the office’ theme they’ve got going on currently. And I know they do change them, but I don’t know when😅
On a completely separate and unrelated note, do you think that JM can still do the splits/spins/flips? I listened to We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2 before going to sleep last night and I can’t get that choreo out of my head (yet again). It still blows my mind. I know that, as of 2020, he’s done some of his famous tricks, but not so much recently. Obviously, just because we haven’t seen them or he hasn’t had a chance to perform them doesn’t mean he can’t do them or that he’s stopped practicing them or working on his mobility/flexibility - a dancer/athlete like him must be rigorous and disciplined in his practicing/rehearsal schedule - and we know for a fact that he’s hella strong (his core strength is just…ridiculous🫠) and physically fit/in shape. However, it’s all extremely physically demanding and he is getting older/has chronic pain to consider (although, I don’t think that’ll stop him and he does have access to the best care in the world). I just wonder if we’re ever gonna see him do all those crazy flips again. I really hope so. I have to admit that a huge part of why I wanted WAB Pt. 2 to be on the anthology album was to see 3J’s dance break again…alas, maybe someday🤞🏼🍀
Hope you have a nice day and you rock😊💕
Dark haired Bangtan for the win! Kookies hair is definitely extensions.
Lol I'm pretty sure we are in the midst of the membership exclusive photoshoots/interviews changing themes. The last one was the fairytale themes they did. We just got weekend interviews and photoshoots, so I would imagine it's coming to a close soon
I mean, in 2022 we've got Jimin sitting in mid air and flipping himself up in Black Swan
In 2021 we got flips too lol
And a one armed couch handstand
So I mean, yeah, I'm pretty sure he is just as crazy agile and can still do all this stuff he if wanted to. Jimins core strength is insane! 🥰🥰 and the WAB 3J dance break will always be iconic for sure!

Eiji's Thoughts on Shinagawa Division
Ritsuko Okada
"...I know my family is a bit skeptical when it comes to my dealings with Chuohku. But I always assure them, my meetings with them are strictly professional and for business's sake. Truthfully, I don't like dealing with them any more than I have to. If having the Prime Minister stare at me with her cold, dead eyes wasn't bad enough, I also have to put up with Kadenokoji glaring at me as we talk, as if begging me to set one foot out of line."
"But as bad as the two of them are, they are nothing compared to this woman here, Ritsuko Okada. I made the mistake of accepting an invitation to this woman's laboratory once, and it is a mistake that I regret to this day. The things I've seen in that lab... let's just say, they are the things that nightmares are made of. And what's more, she heard about the condition that my daughter, Isuzu, was suffering from and offered to cure her, free of charge. How she heard about it, I don't know, and I didn't ask."
"As much as I wanted to tell her where she could shove her offer, I knew I had to be the modicum of professionalism, so I thanked her kindly for her offer, but refused. After that, I bid her farewell and exited her lab as quickly as I could. I'm still shaking at the thought of that place..." Eiji shakes his head, a bit anxious.
Miho Kobayashi
"Miho Kobayashi, one of the CEOs of the well-known pharmaceutical company, E.L. Medical Co. I've seen her on T.V. numerous times, during press conferences and interviews. We've spoken on occasion, but it was nothing memorable. Truthfully though, I do respect her and her company for work. I don't buy the medicine I need for my daughter from them, but I do think it is good that they are working hard to put out new medicines each day. Believe it or not, E.L. Medical Co. is actually one of the companies I donate money to so they can someday find a cure for Isuzu. I hope that day comes soon..."
"Besides that, as stated, I don't really know much about Kobayashi-san. I know she and Arakawa-san don't exactly have a good relationship. I hope someday I can mend it. If the three of us worked together, we could do a lot of good, I think. Besides that, she also seems to have a PROFILE set up. It's mainly just photos and updates of her company, but she does have a few detailing a younger girl; possibly, her sister. I don't know if she is around or not, but if she isn't, then she has my condolences."
Sumire Shinomiya
Eiji looks at the photo of the anarchist and sighs. "Is it bad to say that I know this young girl? Not personally, of course, but... well, let's just say there are a lot of people out there that don't seem to care much for PROFILE or what we do here at Sigma Inc. Truthfully, this young girl and her band of miscreants have been giving me no end of trouble the past year. I can't count the number of times they've tried to hack their way into my database and disrupt everything. Can you believe they actually tried to stop the gaming tournament I hosted? Fortunately, I've got some of the greatest computer geniuses on my side and they've managed to keep this young girl and her friends from doing any permanent damage."
"Still, it is very annoying to have to fix some errors just because this girl doesn't seem to like CEOs or something. I've tried to contact her and see if there is any way the two of us can work together, or at least stay out of each other's way. However, she always ignores my messages and emails." Eiji sighs. "It really is a shame. I've seen what this girl can do just from the pictures on her PROFILE. She has a genius and a mind for technology that you don't normally see in most people. If she put that mind to good use, there's no telling what she could do."
"I did some digging and I found out, she and her friends call themselves 'Player One Studios'. Apparently, they feel threatened by the fact that my company makes video games or something. If they're worried about me outshining them, then I assure you, that is not at all what I am trying to do."
"...To be honest, I'm actually hoping I can talk to her and see if she can do anything to help my daughter. If she found some way to cure her, I'd do anything she asks... within reason, of course. ...But, from the way things stand, that seems to be nothing more than a pipe dream..."
CodeX
"'CodeX'. If you lowercase the 'x' in their name, then they'd be called 'codex', which is basically the ancestor to the modern book you can find anywhere. In video games, the codex is usually where one goes on RPGs to find out the lore on a video game. ...It makes me wonder if the young girl had something to do with this name, and Ritsuko just altered it to make it sound more... 'scientific'.
"But besides that, I think Masa grossly underestimates the power this team has. Ritsuko, by herself, is dangerous enough, as is Kobayashi-san and the young girl. Together, however, I can't imagine what they could do. Even if they haven't had any battles, they still are dangerous. If we face them, we should be careful not to underestimate them. If we do, we will have lost before we even started."

Mirror, Mirror, Stole My Soul!
Hey there! It's been a while since my last post so I wanted to share a few things with you guys. As many of you know I recently moved to Amity Park and have been hard at work getting to know more about the local legends and history of not only the town, but also my new high school. It's called Casper High, which is ironic since we deal with a lot of not-so-friendly ghosts here...
Now I know not everyone believes in ghosts, but even if you don't I hope you learn something interesting today about a couple of myths about mirrors, photographs, and self-portrait paintings.
It's hard to tell when it all started, but in general all three of these share one thing in common, which is the belief that sometimes they can steal your soul or at least a fragment of it. Just like shadows in some cultures, our reflections are believed to be, well, a literal reflection of our souls. That's why vampires and demons in mythology don't have a reflection, it's because they don't have a soul.
Anyways, before I get too off topic since I'd like to talk about how ghosts in photographs and paintings have some cool stories behind them too, let's get back to the subject of mirrors specifically. So one of the ghost stories at my school is about a cursed locker and a mirror that was once inside it. Both belonged to a kid back in the fifties named Sidney Pointexter. Sadly I haven't been able to find out much about him like where he lived, who his parents were, or any of that but from what I've been told the poor guy was bullied by basically the entire school.
From what I can tell Sidney left Amity Park as soon as he graduated and lived out the rest of his life somewhere else. But here's where things get complicated. According to a couple people I interviewed he was in such a hurry to get out of dodge after being humiliated on graduation day in front of the whole school that Sidney left behind everything in his locker, including an antique mirror given to him by a lunch lady he was friends with before she passed away from a heart attack the year before.
He used to look in that mirror every day whether he wanted to or not trying to keep his unruly hair tidy and give himself motivational speeches to cope with the relentless bullying. As for why I said it was sometimes unwillingly, that's because Sidney was constantly shoved into his locker by the jocks and such. Honestly I'm not sure why the school didn't mail it to him but maybe because it was owned by someone who used to work there before she gave it to him maybe they considered it part of Casper High's history? Kind of a jerk move if you ask me since Sidney already had to deal with so much crap from his fellow students.
But, moving on. So the legend goes that any time someone was bullied near that locker...unexplainable things would start happening. Sometimes shoelaces tangled on their own, a disembodied voice could be heard, or the nearby lockers would start shaking as if someone was banging on them from the inside. That's why no one was assigned that locker for a long long time until Danny Fenton came along.
It's a shame I wasn't able to see it myself, but long story short, the mirror I'm talking about that once hung inside that locker ended up breaking because of him. Not that I'm too surprised since he can be a bit of a clutz sometimes, but if he thought it was haunted I don't really blame him. I just hope the poor guy doesn't have to deal with seven years bad luck too. Like I said, mirrors were often suspected of being windows to the spirit world which is part of why they reflect our souls. So in theory, they can also trap souls inside of them too just like photographs and paintings that depict real people.
I think that's what happened to Sidney Poindexter. A part of him never left that locker or maybe when he passed away from old age, the memory of that place haunted him so much that his soul was pulled back there and trapped. If that's the case I really hope he finds peace someday since I've had to deal with a fair share of bullying myself for one reason or another and so has Danny Fenton. Who knows, maybe the ghost of that kid sensed it and showed up which would spook anyone if you think about it. His parents may be ghost hunters but my guess is actually coming face to face with one is an entirely different story...
I haven't seen my first ghost yet but when I do, I'll be sure to share that terrifying tale next time!

Touch to aespa, featured by ViVi magazine!
The feature was titled “Touch to aespa” and was intended to introduce readers of ViVi magazine to the K-POP stars who have the responsibility of retaining their status as the first metaverse group. The staff of ViVi magazine personally contacted the girls in the hopes that they would permit them to make a unique feature with them adorning the main cover because of their constant successions of performing at global events and capturing the attention of many international viewers. In order to give you a peek into their universe, ViVi conducted an exclusive interview that you can use as a guide to fully grasp the vocabulary and embrace the unique preferences of each girl group member! The portraits that have been chosen for the official photos to appear on the magazine pages are also included in the list below. A fun time of getting to know aespa is coming up, so be prepared!
Dive into aespa: “A real-life goddess who embodies kindness, talent, and beauty,” was what they said about Karina.
She was born in Korea on April 11, 2000, and is a leader who takes great pride in her deity beauty. She also looks out for the members as a big sister.
Q. What is your personal style?
I like simple and a bit dressy style such as white t-shirts with jeans, but I try to add point to my outfit with something that has a little different pattern or design, or an accessory. I often shop by checking out brands that go along with my favorite taste and talking with stylists!
Q. What is your “must-have” HeavyRota (frequently used) fashion item or cosmetic?
A. Crop-tops! Whether short-sleeved or off-the-shoulder, I like short length tops and have many of them. As for cosmetics, it’s lipstick. I have 4 to 5 kinds in my bag. I like to collect and I used to have 4 to 5 pouches, but I recently cleaned them out and reduced the number to 3 pouches.
Q. What songs do you listen to depending on the situation?
A. When I want to cry, I listen to the soundtrack of the drama “25, 21.” If I need a pick-me-up, I listen to K-POP. I can’t leave out the ones that I have been listening for years such as songs of “Girls’ Generation” and “2NE1”
Q. What is your motto?
A. “Love yourself,” I value my feelings but if I don’t love myself, I can’t take care of other people either.
Q. What do you pay attention to in order to maintain your style?
A. I try to exercise habitually. Ideally, I should go to the gym three times a week, but if I am too busy to go, I work out at home.
Q. What Korean words do you use most often?
A. I use “감사합니다 (kamsahamnida)” which means “thank you,” The most. The Korean words that make me happy are “예쁘다 (yeppeuda)” (pretty) and “귀여워요 (gwiyoptta)” (cute). I am happy no matter how many times I hear it (laugh).
Q. What do you do when you cannot sleep?
A. I have always fallen asleep as soon as I hear the sound of a hair dryer. When I was a child, my father used to dry my hair, so maybe I feel safe. Now I fall asleep listening to ASMR videos.
Q. When do you get excited the most?
A. Right before I eat something delicious! I like meat and sashimi. I also like dinosaurs and sharks, my tension raises highly once I see them so I want to visit Universal Studio someday!
“She may seem cool on the outside, but she is a very loving sister!” by NINGNING
What is aespa to you?
KARINA, “aespa is my family. It is a place where I can go back to and they are always there for me. They know everything about me, so they are just as important to me as my real family.”
GISELLE, “What did the other members say? (Karina answered “family”) Good, I intended to say “family” too, but it would be sad if I was the only one who said that (laughs) I feel a strong family bond when I can share my feelings with them. When we are in the car on the way home after a hard day’s work, the members know how tired we are and how tired we are feeling. When we feel connected, even if we don’t say it out loud, we feel that we are the only ones who can understand each other.”
WINTER, “A presence that I can truly think “They are on my side!” They are the special members who are always there for me no matter what happens, and we overcome everything together, whether it is hardship or fun. I treasure all of them including the fans who have supported me. I want to be a reassuring ally of aespa, of each member, and every MY.”
NINGNING, “If even one person is missing, it is a harmonic world that can't be completed. Each one of us has a completely different color, and that is why when the four of us get together, a special harmony is born. It is what cannot be completed once one of us is missing. I perform with the confidence and self-awareness that I am an integral part of this group, and at the same time, I care about each member of the group.”

240318 THE BOYZ Interview for Newsen: "TheBs, Are You Ready to Receive Our Love Letter?" [Full Translation]
(Translator's note: The article begins by explaining the PHANTASY trilogy, and how it had the overarching theme of "we all dream fantasy", with each installment representing a different keyword - "exciting", "mystery", "emotional". Respectively, "LIPGLOSS" represented "real romance fantasy", "WATCH IT" represented "dark fantasy", and "Nectar" represents "leaving the past behind and running towards a bright future, towards a dream goal".
Translation may contain inaccuracies!)
You're making a comeback after PHANTASY pt.2 "Sixth Sense" was released last November, four months ago. Thoughts on your comeback?
Sangyeon: Making a comeback 4 months after "Sixth Sense" means the excitement is really high. Above all, since this is a song with a concept THE BOYZ hasn't tried before, it's a new feeling, and I'm expecting both TheBs and the public will enjoy listening to the song since it's one you can listen to comfortably.
Hyunjae: We concluded the past promotions with "WATCH IT" having made only good memories, so while preparing for this comeback it felt like time went by really slowly since I wanted to see the fans quickly. I'm excited to have fun on music shows with the fans soon.
Kevin: Our expectations are high since this is the conclusion to THE BOYZ' PHANTASY series. I hope people will love and look forward to it a lot as this is an album where we challenged a new sound and where you can feel THE BOYZ' new charms.
"Love Letter" is an album that is like a precious letter infused with the memories and the love from a period of time you're fond of. How would you introduce the charms specific to "Love Letter"? And how would you hope TheBs would remember this album?
Jacob: Since this is the last in the trilogy, I hope you feel like you are reading a touching letter when enjoying "Love Letter" as a whole. That could be a memory, could be love, I'm curious to see how the fans will react.
Juyeon: I think letters have a different level of sincerity and warmth, so I'm wondering if this album might be like that. And I hope this "Love Letter" as delivered by THE BOYZ is remembered by fans as a precious letter that the fans can pull out [to read again] at any time.
New: In this album we tried to express THE BOYZ' own interpretation of themes that are universal and relatable to many people. While the title track, "Nectar", tells a story about the past in which there's the pain of parting, experiencing longing and saying farewell, hoping you will see each other again someday in the future, and running towards a dream, the track "Hurt Me Less" has a sense of mourning, expressed through the symptom of "phantom pain" from feeling real pain due to the fantasy you've created to deal with the loneliness after a separation. And the last track, "Dear.", just like the album name "Love Letter" says, is a fansong where THE BOYZ conveys to THEB our love, and even beyond that, our precious, real feelings of a young heart in letter format. I hope all of those feelings reach THEBs.
If you were to express this album in one keyword?
Younghoon: I want to express it with "youth". Right now, as I'm singing this song, this is youth, and the past too is youth, and since I think of our future as youth too, [the word] has to be "youth". I really hope you can look forward to this promotion era too since we're coming back with really good songs.
Kevin: I think of "next" (T/N: in English). I think of it as an album about cherishing those distant memories while running excitedly towards your next chapter in life.
Q: I think of the word "gift". The warm past is what gave the present this shiny "gift" of all these beautiful moments lived together that we can't go back to. Please look forward to an album filled with THE BOYZ' affection!
The different teaser pictures for this album drew attention. Is there a particular reaction that stayed with you?
New: All the reactions were memorable, but the fans seemed to really like the photos for the "Send ver. #Burn" where we burn the records of our pain and say goodbye, so that's particularly memorable. It's also personally my favorite photo.
Haknyeon: It was memorable how fun it was to see the fans coming up with different interpretations as soon as a new teaser came out. If I had to pick only one, a comment that said "I missed Haknyeonie who has been gone for so long" is the more memorable to me. Thank you so much for waiting [for me]. I will show you a lively image while promoting.
Please tell us what kind of song "Nectar" is. If you were to point out the song's charm and your impression of it, what would you say?
Juyeon: I think the new song "Nectar" shows THE BOYZ' matured emotions. The charm I would say is that "Nectar" reveals varied and much deeper emotions from THE BOYZ such as joy, sadness, sentimentality, hope, etc.
Q: It's our first time trying a dance song with a more sentimental feeling. And since it's our first time, I believe we can show a different side and a more matured image of THE BOYZ. I hope you can look forward to it.
Sunwoo: The intro has a calm and sentimental vibe, while the chorus is the opposite, with an exciting and vibrant feel that lets you feel that "there can be many variations in one song". Just listening to it is nice but if you pay attention to the lyrics, I believe it will stay with you and make you feel like you're watching a movie about youth.
Member Eric participated in writing the lyrics for "Nectar". How does it feel to participate and what do you think of how it turned out?
Eric: It's an honor to also participate in the lyrics for the title track "Nectar" after participating in the pre-release single for our 6th anniversary, "Dear.". Writing lyrics can be fun but it's a job that can also involve a lot of worrying and consideration, so seeing the end result is always satisfying. I will work hard to give the fans even better lyrics and songs in the future.
When it comes to unique performances of course we can't leave THE BOYZ out. How would you introduce the special points to watch for or a particular choreography you want to highlight in the performance of "Nectar"?
Kevin: As this is a song that showcases THE BOYZ' matured emotions, I think I'd choose the points that represent the lyrics well. And also, it might be fun to pay close attention and try to find the homage to our early debut days choreography too.
Haknyeon: For the "Nectar" performance, the members worried a lot and worked hard to include big and small details. I'm excited and looking forward to seeing how the fans will react to it.
Eric: The move where we act as if we're drinking nectar at the start of the chorus, the flashy step choreo, and the moves with the opposite sentimental vibe are all points I would choose as ones that will let you appreciate lyrically and dynamically THE BOYZ' emotional performance of "Nectar".
What's the highlight of the "Nectar" MV? Is there any memorable episodes from when you were filming it?
New: The MV filming was supposed to take place at a [real] school and it had been so long since I had been to one that I felt nervous, but wearing an uniform at school brought to mind my school days, and that felt nice. There's a scene where we're running freely in a field, and I remember that despite the weather not being good that day, when we started filming that scene the sky cleared and everyone ran together happily.
Sunwoo: I think everyone ocasionally will have moments where they're unable to forget the past and long for it. The "Nectar" MV tells a story of facing those moments and those wishes and going back to say a happy goodbye. Also, in the MV there were items that represent the members' dreams during our school years, it can be fun to look for each one of them. Watching the MV makes me remember one more time those memories of our school years, and makes me wonder how will it be to run towards a bright future together with THE BOYZ?
What's something you paid special attention to or focused on while preparing the album?
Jacob: I practiced my vocals a lot so I could convey the lyrics better. Also, I didn't just practice the choreography, but worried about styling and naturally-looking acting, gestures, etc that would fit the mood of the song. I worked hard preparing so I hope you can look forward to it.
Q: I prepared thinking that I wanted to elicit a different side of the boyish THE BOYZ we've shown so far. My hope is that many people will like it.
Eric: Since "Nectar" showcases THE BOYZ' matured emotional side, I paid special attention to the recording of the rap parts so you would be able to feel emotions like eagerness and deep affection in the song. I hope many people will give love to it.
Are there any plans or goals you wish to fulfill during this era?
Sangyeon: Above everything else, I hope people who don't know THE BOYZ well can listen to our song and get to know THE BOYZ as a group.
Younghoon: Of course that the biggest goal this era is for the fans to like it. I think that's what makes us the happiest and feels like the biggest achievement. I want to meet TheBs soon and show them the stage we worked so hard to prepare.
Haknyeon: I want to show THE BOYZ' "rizz" with this album!
Aside from group promotions, you've been meeting fans in different individual activities such as musicals, radio DJ, variety shows, YouTube contents, etc. Is there something else you wish to do moving forward?
Sangyeon: Recently, I could greet fans through the premium world tour of the musical "Crash Landing On You". It was my first musical so I was nervous and anxious but the many actors and staff that were with me were incredibly helpful, so I'm proud that I was able to conclude it well. If later on a good opportunity comes, I would like to be cast in a drama or a movie too, and I also really want to make new music and show new stages.
Younghoon: Right now I can greet global K-Pop fans weekly through MBC's Music Core. I want to meet with fans often through even more varied activities. Also, personally, I want to greet TheBs again through an acting job.
Sunwoo: I've been meeting fans through "Bambam's Social Club", "TEO YouTube General Assembly", and recently through MBC Radio "Idol Radio Season 4" as a DJ every week. I'm really happy and have been having a good time being able to communicate with listeners live on air. If the opportunity arises, I'd like to have a solo stage too, and to greet fans through many more units within THE BOYZ.
Eric: I was able to greet viewers through tvN's variety show "Genius Paik 2", and thanks to that broadcast many people came to know me and I heard many good things. I would like to express my gratitude once again. In the future too, I want to let the public get to know me more through different variety shows. Above all, I want to keep giving the fans good albums and stages as THE BOYZ.
Last year, you broke your highest first week sales record, then went on your second world tour "ZENERATION" and held a concert in one of Japan's largest concert venues, Saitama Super Arena, achieving significant international acclaim. What are your goals for 2024?
Jacob: Letting many more people hear THE BOYZ' songs is one goal, and I would like to continue with our activities like last year and communicate often with the fans. Also, I hope we can spend 2024 healthily with no members getting hurt.
Hyunjae: The goal is to make happy and joyful memories with TheBs. Also, I hope all THE BOYZ members can be healthy and promote happily.
Now that promotions for "Love Letter" are officially starting, what is driving you forward?
Jacob: I want to show TheBs the "Nectar" stage we've worked so hard on soon, and want to deliver a warm healing [feeling]! Above everything, I hope we can all enjoy and be healthy throughout the entire promotion.
Kevin: As this is the grand finale for the PHANTASY trilogy, I want to make many good memories together with TheBs again. To the people who listen to THE BOYZ' music and love our performances, and to the many fans who wait for what we're doing next, I want to convey well the album's message, of THE BOYZ' bright youth.
Please send a message to the fans who are always cheering for THE BOYZ unwaveringly.
Younghoon: I want to thank you so much for loving THE BOYZ for such a long time. In the future too, I want to say that we will work hard to become a THE BOYZ who can repay TheBs even more for the love you give us. TheB-ya, I love you.
Juyeon: TheB, are you ready to receive our love letter? Thank you for always cheering for us unwaveringly. Please don't forget that we're always by your side cheering you on. Thank you always and I love you.
New: Thank you so much for always supporting us passionately, for giving us energy, and for waiting for us. I hope you like this album as much as we worked hard preparing for it. I believe it's thanks to TheBs who are always by our side giving us strength that we can promote without tiring. Please look after us during this era too.

I'm Done With You
To quote Jay Leno when he interviewed Hugh Grant: “What the hell were you thinking?” All I ever did was love and care about you. I supported all your crazy ideas. I waited patiently to see if you would find a job and help more around the house. I worked and helped you when I could, even if it meant not getting the things I wanted. And yet, you were keeping a dirty secret behind my back. I should have seen the signs. Your constant need to be online. Always asking when I was coming home. Staying up all night on your laptop(s). You stopped touching me. In addition, your need to always be the center of attention. No one could talk in front of you because if it wasn’t about you, you’d make it about you. You claimed to support me, but you waited for the moment when you could turn the attention to you. What did I do wrong? I know I should look to blame myself, but how can I not? All I did was love you and support you. But that wasn’t enough. YOU are the one with the sickness and look what happened. That day haunts me. I was so scared, but then filled with so much anger after I was told the truth. That was the last straw. I am done. I can’t do this anymore. I need to distance myself from you as soon as possible. For my sake and my mental health, I need you out of my life. You said to me, “We aren’t going through this.” You’re right. “We” are not. I am separating myself from you. I can’t do this anymore. 10 years is enough. You broke your vow to me. The vow to love, honor, and respect. Goodbye. I hope you someday get the help you seriously need. But I won’t be waiting. I am moving on with my life and you need to as well. It’s over.

dear diary,
it's been a long time since i wrote on my blog and i came here with so much news to tell! will i feel like telling all of them? who knows…
let's start with the premise that i FINALLY finished school, graduated and applied for admission to the academy of fine arts in bologna in the faculty of graphic design… the places were very limited, about 25, and in total there were 200 of us. unfortunately i didn't pass, neither alessia :c, but i was already feeling this so i prepared a plan B: to do private graphic design courses! during july, august and september i had to prepare the portfolio to present at the interview and also a poster. not having a good computer before and i had to buy a new one: a mac!
im very happy i bought it and currently (it's october) im doing great and i dont regret at all to have switched from a windows to a mac! anyway i'll have to get a windows setup to play with, since its one of my biggest dreams as soon as i'll have enough money!
of the rest, im glad I finished school, this year i experienced it badly the school environment but not very badly. with one of my classmates i used to hang out with always bonded with others leaving me behind and i tried a confrontation with her but she was just yelling so much, so that i gave up even though i was feeling very bad about it. during this year i bonded so much with alessia, always a schoolmate now ex classmates, and shes the only one except for another girl and i still hang out with her. sad isn't it? we were all bonded… how did we end up not talking to each other anymore with the whole class? growth, supposedly. with that girl, i don't talk to her anymore because for my person and other factors she was too toxic for me, it didn't make me feel very good to be with her and she criticized everything i did.
but life goes on! i met a girl on december and we'll can call mk, with whom i later hang out with her sister also at the weeknd concert! on july 27, 2023!!!
needless to say, we flirted all the time but on this topic i should copy and paste from the personal diary i have on my computer because there would be so much to tell!
atm im in a gdr on instagram thanks to mk and now i have about 250 followers in not even a month?! its crazy. i've met so many people, especially a girl named cassie who is simp for my character elijah. it's very funny i admit it! there are a lot of nice profiles, im in the kpop gdr part so i see more jungkook than anything else AHAH
im a jungkook too, how funny lol
i would love to talk to X in the gdr just for the sake of seeing how he behaves since everyone, and i mean EVERYONE, tells me not to talk to him because hes toxic and manipulative. i love to get hurt apparently and my curiosity never stands still! i haven't followed him yet but maybe someday. if i make up my mind, i'll see about it although i hope he does first, i admit it!
for now these are the most important things i have to say, a mini summary of my 2023 although there are so many things to say, ahimè!
13 october 2023: happy birthday jimin!!

EMEA VALORANT lead wants to eventually bring major VCT rivalry matches to local fans
The 10 partnered VALORANT clubs battled in the inaugural EMEA VCT league from the recently built Coliseum inside the Messe Berlin Charlottenburg in Germany in front of rabid fans. The league's creators hope to someday take the show on the road, though it might be a while before that occurs.
In an interview with EMEA VALORANT lead Daniel Ringland in the midst of the ongoing EMEA LCQ, Dot Esports asked him about the potential of taking VCT regular season matches and hosting them where the team’s loyal fan bases could show up in waves. Ringland referenced the match between BBL Esports and FUT Esports in the final week of the regular season, in a battle between the league’s two Turkish teams.
“Both had individual watch parties in Istanbul, and a total of 6,000 fans turned up to watch them,” Ringland told Dot Esports. “And that’s without the players even being there, so I can only imagine that if we had FUT vs. BBL in a stadium in Istanbul, then there would have been way more than 6,000 fans and they would have been even more excited. So it’s something we would love to do.”
Taking special occasion regular season matches on the road isn’t a new concept to esports; both the Overwatch League and the Call of Duty League have historically held “homestands” and “home series” respectively, giving the local fans of a franchise the opportunity to see a big rivalry match in-person without having to travel far, although those were temporarily shelved in 2020 due to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. But these events were pivotal in creating dedicated fans for each league via an unforgettable in-person experience.
Other than the previously mentioned Turkish head-to-head match, Ringland also expressed interest in potentially holding matches in France or Spain, where regional rivalries like Karmine Corp vs. Gentle Mates and Giants vs. KOI would expectedly take center stage. But don’t start planning to take time off work just yet.
“It brings a lot of complexity and technical challenges that we would need to be mindful of, so I don’t think it’s something we’re likely to see anytime soon,” Ringland said. “But it would definitely be an aspiration for us to be able to take at least some games on the road, especially for those local derbies. That would be really cool.”
In the interview, Ringland acknowledged the technical issues and the number of pauses seen this year as an area where “no one was satisfied.” Taking the matches on the road to new venues would increase the chances of more tech issues, but Ringland is already expecting that aspect of the broadcast experience to be “much better next year.” If that is the case, then perhaps it raises the chances of VCT EMEA going on tour sooner rather than later.

Day 1 (Part 1) || Evaluon
The excursion week started off great, because it started off with robots. Naturally, that gives any museum the benefit of the doubt, and Evaluon did not disappoint. Even just walking into the lobby made me excited, because they had these huge black and white portraits circling the top of the wall; each of them an individual who had a particular vision of the future, from Leonardo Da Vinci to Greta Thunberg and more. My personal favourite was, of course, Isaac Asimov (author of I, Robot and The Bicentennial Man, among other amazing works) and the fact that he was included filled me with hope. (I'm not much of a museum person, but if my favourite robot author is there, it's gotta be good, right?) Tragically I didn't see much of him in the expositions, but it definitely set the tone for the sort of things that were on display.
The museum was split up into various rings (the building itself was shaped like a UFO, it was... fascinating) that climbed higher and higher around the edges. Each ring had a different theme-- I made the unfortunate mistake of not really taking a picture of the whole, but perhaps there's maps to be found online. I took a lot of pictures overall (they didn't say it wasn't allowed, so uhh... free advertising?) but tragically I can only insert 10 pictures per post, so I tried to make a selection for you guys.
One of the first things we encountered was a small robot that could type the phrase "I work" on an iPad, before rapidly deleting it again and starting over (same little robot, I too have anxiety about everything I write). Then my attention was rapidly absorbed by a literal wall of text arcing around about half of the first ring, each section detailing a dilemma or topic concerning the future, ranging from robot workforces to eternal life and paradise to doomsday. I absolutely loved what they did with the little quote sections at the bottom, the typography felt very in-style with the exposition and I loved recognizing quotes and song lyrics amidst the information. They were also fascinating topics, and when I first saw this I was like "yes. this will be my term 4 project". Foolish little me had no idea how many times I would think that that day, but we all have lapses of judgement /lh.
Anyway, there was a lot more to see: lots of examples of robots in popular media, a good amount of which I recognized (as resident robot nerd, that was kind of a given). There was also a wall with magnets where you could build your own robot, and we built this... monstrosity... yeah...
I also saw this cool screenshot which I believe is from an anime... I'm gonna have to check that one out, it looks interesting (if you see me ranting about an anime on my main sometime soon,,, uh,,, no comment)
floating blocks! idk i just thought they were cool. also i played space invaders (i was so proud i got the console to work, nobody else in my class knew how to work it). Oh, and there was a Back To The Future car. that was pretty neat.
There were also things I didn't remember to take pictures of-- there was a video about a Kitty AI, a supposedly benevolent cat AI that took over the world and tooootally had the best intentions. The cat loves you. Yup. So safe.
Also there were some little interviews with people, i took random notes:
Stine Jensen: stated that the difference between humans and robots are that humans have emotions
Martin Koolhoven: really excited about AI, says it's the "biggest invention": claims it will take control of the world someday, he just hopes we'll be part of that world when it comes
Pupul Bisht: storytelling about the future is often told from the perspective of those in power: if you tell the story of the future from the perspective of a different culture, you might get very different ideas than those of stereotypical European/American utopias
Some other things I noted: the schools from Astroboy (they had a very interesting system that I want to look deeper into). I also wrote down Over The Moon. Uhm. I don't remember why. I just did. yerrrp

Pattinson
Pairing: Tom Holland x Actress!reader
Synopsis: Tom gets jealous when you reveal your celebrity crush on Robert Pattinson
Masterlist
“Okay I saw these on Tik Tok and I had to get them for you.” Zendaya grinned as she slid a small black box towards you.
“What is it?” You eyed her skeptically as you accepted the box.
“Just open it and look.” She smiled and rubbed her hands together.
“No.” You gasped as you opened the box. “Team Edward underwear?”
You picked up a pair of lacy black paintings and held them out in front of you. The phrase “Team Edward” was stitched in bold white letters right over the crotch.
“Oh my God.” You burst into laughter. “What are these?”
“They’re just panties.” She said innocently. “I thought you’d like them.”
“I do but I cannot wear this around Tom.” You laughed and set them down. “He’ll think I’m insane.”
“Them wear them when he’s away.” She shrugged.
“I cannot believe you bought these.” You shook your head at her. “Or that someone made them. Or that I want to wear them more than anything.”
“See?” She smiled proudly. “I knew you’d like them.”
“I do.” You admitted. “But Tom can never know they exist.”
You put the panties away in your drawer that night and forgot about them. It wasn’t until a few weeks later when you were a guest on the Graham Norton show that your love of Twilight was brought up once again.
“Now, Y/n, I hear you’re a big Twilight fan.” Graham began.
“Yup. Last time I checked.” You nodded, purposefully quoting Jacob Black.
“Are you really?” Graham giggled.
“I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen those movies.” You shook your head. “Especially the first one. Everyone few months I just sit down and shot gun the series.”
“Were you Team Edward or Team Jacob?”
“Team Edward all the way.” You said immediately. “This is so embarrassing, but I used to leave my window open when I was in middle school so Edward could come in.”
“That’s some dedication.” Graham laughed. “Did he ever come?”
“No. He never did.” You pouted. “13 year old me was really disappointed.”
“I hear you even got a tattoo.” Graham raised his eyebrows, making you hide your face in shame.
“I do.” You laughed behind your hand. “I got too drunk halfway through Eclipse and got a tattoo.”
“You have to show us.” Graham insisted.
“Okay but don’t laugh.” You laughed in defeat and rolled up your sleeve. You held your arm out to the camera, showing off your tattoo that read “Robert Pattinson” in tiny letters on your arm. The audience and Graham laughed at the randomness at the tattoo as your face heated in embarrassment.
“Look at this, it’s not even Twilight related”. Graham laughed. “It’s just Roberts name.”
“I wanted to get to the point.” You shrugged, earning some laughs.
“Why this font?” He wondered as he stared at the tattoo.
“It’s helvetica.” You deadpanned, making Graham cover his face with his cards as he laughed.
“It looks like you’ve just typed this out on the computer.” He pointed out.
“I was drunk.” You rolled your eyes playfully. “And it felt right in the moment.”
“You’ve never met Robert, right?” Graham asked. “You haven’t showed this to him?”
“No, I’ve never met him”. You sighed dramatically. “And he will never see this tattoo.”
“Well then you better cover it up.” Graham said as he looked behind him. “Ladies and gentlemen, Robert Pattinson.”
You furrowed your eyebrows and looked behind Graham as Robert Pattinson came out from back stage. He was in a navy suit, looking as beautiful as ever as he walked towards the couch.
“Oh My God.” You covered your face with your hands as the audience became deafening. You could hear Robert and Graham greeting each other over the sound of your heart pounding in your ears. Slowly, you took your face away from your hands and sheepishly looked up.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Rob.” Robert smiled as he looked down at you.
“Hi.” You smiled weakly as you stood up. Robert shook your hand and kissed your cheek to say hello, making you die on the spot. You let go of him and sat down on the couch, never taking your eyes off Robert.
“This is…” Graham gestured to you a few times, reminding you to say your name.
“Y/n. Sorry.” You blinked a few times. “It’s so nice to finally meet you. I’m a big fan.”
“Are you?” Robert asked as he sat down. “You a Twilight fan?”
“No, I haven’t seen it.” You lied as you collected yourself.
“You just said-“
“I love all your other movies though.” You cut Graham off. “I really admire your work. Your acting is phenomenal.”
“Thank you.” Robert smiled at you. “I’ve seen some of your work as well. I’m always very impressed.”
“Are you?” You squeaked.
“I am.” Robert chuckled. “You’re very talented. I hope we get to work together someday.”
“I’m surprised you two haven’t met before.” Graham cut in. “Y/n, Rob was in a movie with your boyfriend, wasn’t he?”
“With my what?” You asked as you stared starstuck at Robert.
“Your boyfriend.” Graham repeated as the audience laughed. “Tom Holland?”
“Right.” You laughed awkwardly as you continued to stare at Robert. “Him.”
“Yeah, we were in a movie together a few years ago.” Robert answered. “And we’re going to start filming another one soon. It’s called the Devil All The Time.”
“Right.” You remembered. “He told me about it. I was so jealous that he’s getting to work with you for a second time.”
“I’m sure you and I will share the screen one day. Playing lovers, perhaps.” Robert joked as he nudged you.
“Perhaps.” You squeaked.
“We’re gonna cut to commercial.” Graham announced. “More with Robert Pattinson and Y/n L/n after the break.”
After the interview, you ran back to your dressing room with a huge smile. You had not stopped smiling since Robert had walked out on stage. You walked into your dressing room and saw Tom sitting on your couch, making you let out a squeal.
“Ahh! Did you see me?” You gushed. “Did you see me with Edward?”
“Edward?” He chuckled as he hugged you. “You mean Robert Pattinson?”
“Yeah. Him.” You clapped your hands. “He shook my hand and kissed my cheek. I almost passed out. I’m in love with him.”
“I didn’t realize you were such a big fan.” Tom laughed awkwardly as you danced around the room.
“Are you kidding me? I’ve been in love with that man for over ten years now. I’m never washing my hand again.” You held out the hand he shook. “Or my face. God, he’s so beautiful.”
“Yeah. I’ve seen him.” Toms smile slowly faded. “We worked together, you know.”
“I know. You’re so lucky.” You sighed. “Did you hear him saw he wanted us to play lovers in a movie? Can you imagine if that actually happens?”
“No.” Tom said flatly. Before you could notice his indifference, someone knocked at your soon.
“Op. Someones at the door.” You said as you twisted the handle. You opened the door to reveal Robert leaning against your doorframe, knocking the air out of your chest.
“Hello again.” Robert smiled at you.
“Rob!” You stammered in surprise. “Hi.”
“Nice to see you again, Tom.” Robert said as he looked behind you. “How you been, mate?”
“I’ve been good. You?” Tom asked as he stood beside you. He wrapped a protective arm around your shoulders, not liking how fond you were of his former costar.
“Can’t complain.” Robert shrugged. “I’m excited to start filming though. I’ve been working on the accent but I’m not sure I’ve gotten it yet.”
“I’m sure you’ll do great.” You told him. “You’ve done great accents before.”
“Thank you.” He winked at you. “You should come to visit us once we start filming. I’d love to see you again.”
“Of course.” You nodded repeatedly. “I’ll be there.”
“Great.” Robert grinned. “I’ll let you guys get back to it. Bye.”
“Bye.” You enthusiastically waved to him.
“Oh, and Y/n?” Robert said before walking away.
“Yes?” You asked hopefully.
“Close your windows.” He joked, calling back to your story from before. You felt your face heat up and gave him an embarrassed smile before nodding.
“I will.” You told him. Robert firmly squeezed your shoulder before walking away. As soon as you shut the door, you let out a scream and jumped up and down.
“Did you hear that?” You asked Tom. “We have an inside joke. Edward Cullen and I have an inside joke.”
“You do know his name is Rob, right?” Tom said, less than amused. “Not Edward.”
“He’s Edward to me.” You rolled your eyes playfully. “I’ve never been this close to getting a vampire boyfriend. Ah, I’m so happy.”
“You already have a boyfriend.” Tom reminded you as he slumped on your couch. First he had to watch you and Robert fawn over each other on Graham’s couch, and now you wouldn’t stop talking about him. Tom was more than jealous at this point and it was starting to get to him.
“I know.” You chuckled as you sat beside Tom and laid your head on his shoulder. “And I love you. Even if you’re not a vampire.”
“Wow. Even if?” He chuckled sarcastically as he wrapped an arm around you. You leaned up to kiss him, making him feel better. You may be a fan of Robert, but Tom was the one you were kissing.
~
As promised, Tom brought you with him to the set of The Devil All The Time. He left you in his trailer early in the morning when he left to film, but you were nowhere to be found by the time he returned at the end of the day. Tom pouted when he found his trailer empty and went for a walk around the set to try and find you. When you didn’t turn up in any of the places he checked, he returned to his trailer in defeat.
“Darling?” Tom asked as he walked into his trailer. “Are you in here?”
“Where the hell you been, loca?” You asked as you threw your arms around Tom.
“What?” Tom laughed as he hugged you back, just happy to have found you.
“It was a Twilight reference.” You explained before kissing him hello. “I’ve been trying so hard not to make them around Edward all day.”
“You’ve been with Rob all day?” Tom pulled away, his mood dropping quickly.
“Uh huh.” You nodded in excitement. “I was helping him run lines in his trailer. Can you believe he asked me to help him?”
“Good for you.” Tom grumbled as he flopped down on his couch.
“What’s wrong?” You asked when you noticed Toms tone.
“Do you have feelings for this guy or something?” Tom asked. “Cause it’s starting to seem like you’d rather be with Rob.”
“What?” You laughed. “Tommy, don’t be silly. Of course I don’t have feelings for Rob.”
“Really?” Tom raised an eyebrow. “Because you’ve spent all days running lines with him instead of me, your boyfriend. When he’s around, he’s all you talk about Y/n. And I remember you saying you were in love with him multiple times.”
“I’m not in love with him, silly.” You insisted as you took a seat on his lap. “I’m in love with Edward Cullen. He was my comfort character growing up. I didn’t have a lot of friends in school, so I read books. Sometimes, it was nice to pretend a gorgeous vampire was willing to risk the Volturi to be with you.”
“The what?” Tom asked.
“It’s like the Vampire Supreme Court.” You replied.
“The what?” Tom repeated.
“Oh, right. British.” You remembered. “They’re just the most powerful vampire coven, okay? They make all the rules. You’d know them if you saw them. It’s Charlie Seen and that bitch from Cat in the Hat.”
“What does this have to do you liking Rob?” Tom whined.
“Right, sorry.” You waved your hand in dismissal. “I don’t have feelings for Rob. I don’t even know him. I’m just projecting the character I loved growing up onto the actor who played him. You’re telling me you didn’t geek out the first time you met RDJ?”
“I did.” Tom admitted.
“Exactly. He was your childhood hero and Edward was mine. That’s all this is.” You smiled and patted his cheek. “Nothing to worry about, Tommy.”
“Okay. I’m sorry.” Tom pouted and rubbed your back. “I shouldn’t have accused you of anything.”
“It’s okay. I can see why you got a little jealous. I have been talking about him a lot.” You admitted. “But I promise you, when I look at him, all I see is Edward. Just straight up baseball uniforms and spider monkies.”
“What the hell goes on in those movies?” Tom mumbled under his breath.
“Well, the last two are pretty much an abortion debate.” You began. “But they’re also about Bella being willing to die for that vampire dick.”
“In a vampire movie?” Tom wondered.
“Yeah. But the first one is a baseball movie.” You told him.
“What the fuck?” He whispered.
“You’d understand it if you saw them.” You shrugged.
“I don’t think I would.” He said skeptically.
“I also don’t think you would.” You realized. “But you’d finally understand why I call you my “monkey man” sometimes.”
“That’s a Twilight reference?” He gasped.
“Yeah. A lot of things I say are Twilight references.” You chuckled.
“Well if my darling loves them that much, I might have to give them a chance.” Tom smiled as he leaned in to kiss him.
“Mmm.” You hummed against his lips. “You wanna watch 10 hours of Twilight with me?”
“Absolutely not.” Tom laughed against your mouth. He slowly laid you down on the couch as he hovered on top of you, never break the kiss. The kiss got more heated as you gripped his shirt while his hands slid down to your pants. As his hangs found your zipper, you realized something terrifying.
“Oh no.” You gulped.
“Whats wrong?” Tom wondered as he pulled away.
“Um...” you gulped and looked down at your lap. “You’re not gonna want to do that.”
“Why?” Tom raised an eyebrow, eyes darting down to your zipper skeptically.
“Daya sent me underwear a while ago.” You began. “Um, special underwear.”
“Did she?” Tom smirked as he tugged the zipper down.
“Not that kind of special.” You quickly moved his hand. “It um, it has a slogan on it.”
“Okay?” Tom said slowly.
“You’re not gonna like it.” You told him, only making his curiosity grow. Tom looked at you curiously before tugging your pants down. You covered your face with your hands as he gasped in horror.
“Team Edward?” He yelled. “Your underwear says Team Edward?”
“It was all I had!” You protested as you tugged your pants back up.
“You’re telling me you happened to be wearing these the day you come to visit Rob on set?” Tom pointed an accusing finger at you.
“What are you implying?” You asked as you swatted his hand away. Tom ran his hands through his hair and gave it a stressful tug. He didn’t want to take his insecurity out on you, but the underwear had crossed a line.
“Did you think something was gonna happen between you guys?” He mumbled without looking at you.
“What?” You laughed in shock. “Do you seriously think I woke up this morning and thought “hm, might fuck Robert Pattinson today. Let me make sure I put on my underwear that references a character of his from ten years ago!””
“I don’t know!” He whined. “I can’t believe you’re wearing those.”
“I didn’t mean anything by it.” You laughed as he stormed out of the room. “Tommy, come back.”
“Why are you laughing?” He pouted, face still red from jealousy.
“Because you’re upset over my underwear.” You tried to hold back your laughter. “You know, you could solve this problem by taking them off.”
“No.” He stamped his foot. “You don’t want me. You want you Edgar Curtain and his killer vampire penis.”
“It’s Edward Cullen.” You corrected. “And yes, I do want that.”
“Oh my God.” Tom rubbed his face, making you laugh again.
“Edward would never treat me this way.” You teased. “He would have sex with me and then get scared that he hurt me so he just plays chess with me the rest of our honeymoon.”
“Would he now?” Tom seethed.
“Tommy, please calm down.” You chuckled as you cupped his face. “It’s just an unfortunate coincidence that I was wearing these. I promise, you don’t have anything to worry about. You’re the only one I want.”
“Really?” He asked skeptically as you stroked his cheek with your thumb.
“What can I say?” You smirked. “I’m Team Tom.”

Video
To that one anon who was asking me about why Nasu was worried about how Ufotable would adapt the quiet parts of Mahoyo, sorry. Tumblr broke trying to answer it and now the original ask was gone, but here was my answer to it:
___
I haven't seen HF3 so I may be missing something, but I think modern Ufotable just doesn't do stuff like this anymore.
Oh, they can still do the drama or expository scenes like the first half of the video just fine. Conversation that moves to slowly swelling emotional music is something they still do, but from what I remember from Zero, UBW, and the first two HF movies, these scenes are already the quiet moments. Whereas in the first Kara No Kyoukai film, this is only the leadup to a scene completely without dialogue or music, where the film trusts its audience to engage with it and understand what is happening, but left unsaid.
____
For those who haven't seen Kara No Kyoukai, here's a breakdown with context.
The clip starts with Ryougi Shiki back at her workplace, The Hollow Shrine. Her boyfriend Kokutou Mikiya had his soul stolen by a ghost haunting the abandoned Fujou building, and it just finished kicking Shiki's ass and tearing her prosthetic arm off when she tried to investigate the building. Fortunately, their boss Touko is a puppet maker and engineer, and she gets to work right away rebuilding Ryougi's arm.
While putting it together, Touko says that while she can make a puppet or a prosthetic as realistic as possible, there's nothing she can do to make it truly alive. Her puppets will forever be empty, existing as shells just as Shiki once did when she awoke from a traumatic incident that destroyed her sense of self, living as a doll until she began to put herself back together and desired to live.
That whole time, Mikiya was the pillar she leaned on while she worked through her trauma. They had been high school sweethearts before the accident. He visited her every week for two years during her coma, and when she woke up in grief, he stayed right by her so she wouldn't feel alone.
That's why Touko steers the conversation to being about how Mikiya ended up working for her. He saw one of Touko's puppet exhibits, tracked her down despite the literally magic protections she put to keep from being found, and begged her for a job. His favorite doll in her exhibition during the job interview was the one that happened to look like Shiki. Touko noted that he was the type of person to 'obsess over dolls', but this isn't meant to be understood in a creepy sense. Rather, he is the kind of person who pours his love into empty things, seeing life where there is none and hoping it truly will come alive someday. This makes him an appealing target for certain supernatural beings, such as the entity lurking in the Fujou building.
Shiki then walks over to look at his lifeless body, noting that between the two of them, he's now the empty one.
After Shiki's walk home, we finally arrive at the completely quiet scene. Despite the lack of any dialogue or music, the scene is anything but empty.
In the first scene of the movie, Mikiya comes to Shiki's apartment with strawberry ice cream. Shiki complains that she doesn't like ice cream, but Mikiya explains that it was so hot, he figured she would want to eat something cold even if she didn't eat the ice cream he bought last time. Shiki refuses to eat it still.
In this quiet scene however, Shiki changes her mind. it's not too hot—it was raining while she walked home—and yet she takes out the ice cream anyway and opens it, having to adjust to only having one arm while her prosthetic is still being repaired. She pauses to think about if she's really going to have some ice cream, then decides she will and begins to eat.
Within the silence punctuated only by the sounds of her breathing and chewing, Shiki's resolve hardens and her next move becomes clear. Whatever that thing in the Fujou building that beat her up is, she's coming back as soon as her arm is fixed, and she's killing the shit out of it.

🎰🔪🧨 with Charlie himself. 🤞🏻
Thanks for your request for my Emoji Fic Fest! 💗
..................................................
Slut Machine
Pairing: Charlie Hunnam x F!Reader
Warnings: smut, swearing, Vegas shenanigans
Word Count: ~1.5k
Emoji Prompt: 🎰🔪🧨 (key words are in bold)
“Morning, sleepyhead.”
… Whose voice is that? Your senses are too hazy yet to process who it was or what he said. You blink your bleary eyes and wake up in an… unfamiliar bed. The sheets are a ridiculous resplendent red—must be a love motel or some shit—there’s a story as to how you ended up here but you find you can’t remember any of it. Sleep was so deep that you feel as if you’re waking from the dead.
When your eyes finally flutter open everything comes flooding back. You’re here in bed with Charlie Motherfucking Hunnam and the sight of his blue gaze and bright white grin gives you a goddamn heart attack.
You cover your face with your hands and groan out loud at just how mortified you are. Recalling how you’d made a clown out of yourself last night when you bumped into this million-dollar movie star. Literally bumped into him—till yesterday you never even knew him—you had just been crushing hard on him for years but he was always a completely unattainable celebrity. A girls’ trip brought you to Sin City; you and your besties were hopping casually from bar to bar, when you had stumbled clumsily straight into Charlie as he stepped out of his car.
You’d simply scurried off in that instant ‘cause he was too damn beautiful in person and your ass was terrified. But then bumped into him again soon after you both got inside. This time you had a full martini glass in hand and spilled its contents all across his shirt and thought you ought to help the man get dried. Decided then you really shouldn’t try to run away and hide.
You’d grabbed a bunch of napkins, dabbing at his chest and abs through the damp fabric as you nervously apologized for what happened. Your spastic wiping motions all across his chiseled muscles weren’t exactly very helpful with the spilled drink situation, as your brain cells were all absent in the face of heaven’s most stunning creation. Charlie said some shit about how bumping into you a second time wasn’t an accident. You were too hypnotized with lust to understand just what he meant.
He joked that you could make it up to him by winning him a jackpot at the slot machines. You told him shyly that the whole gambling thing isn’t quite your scene. Although he didn’t want to pressure you he asked you to indulge him in a night of fun—all kinds of shit you’d never done—let him take you out around Vegas to the wildest places you had never been.
It didn’t make sense that you felt so safe with him but hell you did. You were still sober by the time Charlie was coming onto you and all your girlfriends chanted do it do it do it! And the craziest night of your life began before you even knew it. Took you to his favorite high-stakes casino—then to seats in the front row at a big AEW Dynamite show—and then to some intense axe-throwing place that also offered knives and ninja stars and other shit to throw.
The best part of the night though… was of course when Charlie claimed you as his dirty little ho. The memory of it is vivid as you look up at him now and find that both of you are still stuck in the most mind-blowing afterglow.
***************
“No way that was your first fucking time throwing knives?!” Charlie shakes his blonde head in defeat as he walks you back out to the sweet car he drives. “Bitch I swear you’ve been doing this shit your whole life.”
You slide into the passenger seat while erupting in laughter. He’s so fucking butthurt that your aim was better than his because he’s a competitive smug little bastard. “Well I am an assassin specifically hired to take out insanely attractive actors… but I can assure you that wasn’t a factor.”
He closes the driver’s side door, turns the keys and the engine ignites in a smooth thrumming roar. “And by ‘take out’ you mean…?”
“It’s cute of you to ask but dinner and a movie isn’t really the assassin scene.”
He chuckles playfully as he speeds down the street, the night alive with white hot heat, the lights of Vegas bright as ever as the night deepens. “You gonna kill me in my sleep, then?”
“That’d be making it too easy.”
“Babe, don’t tease me. We both know you make it hard.”
Okay so he just pulled that card.
Fight off the burning urge to stare down at his crotch—no doubt the car would crash then if you saw what you’re imagining and know you’d be unable to resist the urge to touch…
You’ve never wanted anyone or anything in all your life so fucking much.
The sudden tension in the air leads him to smooth back his slicked hair, facing the road with a restrained stare. He’s been picking up on signals all night long but doesn’t dare to just assume you want to go there. Tries to come off calm and cool although there’s nothing he wants more. “So, uh—should I just drive you back to your hotel or…?”
The voice that comes out of your mouth is one you barely even recognize. It takes both you and Charlie by surprise, the way your inner slut replies: “That’d be a fucking bore. You know I’d much rather you take me back to yours… so you can fuck me like a filthy little whore.”
***************
The swanky penthouse suite in the five-star hotel where Charlie came to stay… it’s a ten-minute drive away.
That’s way too far needless to say.
He needs you right this second, after what you’d gone and said—although the backseat of his car is a fine spot for a good wrecking, there are fifty shades of shit he’d rather do with you spread in the comfort of a big sumptuous bed.
Thankfully there is an extremely tacky-looking love motel just down the road. And it’s the perfect place for you two to check in and let your passions for each other just explode.
It turns out this particular motel has a requirement for guests to stay the night that just might pose a bit of trouble: lovebirds have to pass through the adjoining chapel first and be a lawfully wedded couple.
So you stand uncomfortably at the reception desk and bite your tongue. Happen to know that Charlie tied the knot in Vegas once when he was young; you’ve heard about it in some interviews. You’re sure that he’d have no desire to repeat that same mistake tonight with you.
But this has been a night of wild crazy shit and he’s on fire to continue.
Mostly it’s just that he really needs his dick in you… but there’s a spark that he can feel might someday blossom into something more and he just hopes that you can feel it too.
***************
Of course you do. The ceremony is a joke but you’re both giddy as if it’s real by the time you’ve seen it through. There’s just no hope of sanity and self-control between you two.
You’re in a fluffy white confection of a wedding gown that this establishment provided for the night. You look like a big puff of cotton fucking candy and he wants to take a bite. So much about this night seems wrong, but when the heat between the racing of your heartbeats is so strong, it can’t feel anything but right.
Once you’re at last inside your room he throws you down onto the bed and dives headfirst into your gown, and goes to town, taking you high until you die as he goes down.
The dress is so damn big, that you can’t see his flawless face, let alone his glorious dick, and that’s a royal fucking waste. You need to see and touch and taste.
He knows exactly what you need and ravenously rips the poufy fabric off of you. His pearly smile and the bristles of his beard are gleaming with your pussy juices as he climbs on top of you. You long to tell him just how bad you want to blow him—want to tell him that you love him even though you barely know him—it would be fucking insane to say I love you, but of course you can still show him.
Yet he wants to consummate this marriage first, before he lets you satisfy your thirst. You’ll have a lifetime’s worth of days and nights to suck on his big dick if you decide to stay with him and make him yours.
That’s everything you want of course.
This whirlwind of a night that started with a stupid joke about hitting the jackpot at the slot machines… turned into you being his motherfucking wife, after the wildest and best night of your motherfucking life. And now he’s here on top of you about to fuck you and it’s totally outrageously obscene.
You wouldn’t have it any other way ‘cause you know you were put on earth to serve as Charlie Hunnam’s dirty little slut machine.

Confessions pt2 - Reader x Driver
So here we have part two of Confessions . I had a hard time to understand how much I wanted to actually write. But it ended with some hard makeout session at the end. So if you ain't comfortable to read it to (--), it's nothing graphic more than naked skin. BUT ENJOY!
You ended up meeting him for the date night he promised you
Words: 2700 (ish)
Warning: Mention of alcohol and smut-ish
To overthink was nothing new, somedays you had better days, but lately it has been a constant thing for your to-do-list, everything started when you realize that he was the only one with a new phone number. You couldn’t contact him, if you didn’t send a direct message on Instagram. But thanks to him being a famous racing car driver you knew that he wouldn't be contactable on the app.
After that night you had been waiting for a text, a phone call or just something to ease your racing mind. To make you know that he thought about you just as much that you thought about him. He had confessed his love to you. If he wasn’t just drunkenly babbling stuff. But drunk sayings are sober thoughts as they say.
One thing that really made you uneasy is his reputation, what was so special about you that made him want to change? It was an open secret around the sport that he was a player. He always liked the attention, the girls flocking around him. Or so it appeared in interviews and videos. He would give a lucky girl a night to remember, but for him, it was only a challenge to get a girl the fastest and take her home. And you, you weren’t a one night stand kind of person, never been and never will be.
So here you are now, one and a half weeks later, in total radio silence. Waiting for him to reach out. In the heat of the moment you didn’t think about getting his number as well when he asked you about yours. And it felt wrong to send him a message on Instagram of all places. And who knews, he probably never checks his direct messengers on the named app. If it was you, you wouldn’t even bother to check the thousands of messengers they probably get sent everyday.
With phone in hand you scrolled through Instagram, trying to smooth the nagging feeling in your chest by looking at his profile. The whole circus was in the Netherlands this weekend to race. The new posts from this week were only pictures on his car from practise sessions. Which in say might not be so bad, the car’s livery is amazing this seson and you couldn’t say that it wasn’t kind of hot to see him drive on track. But just in this moment, you missed his face. Just to see in his eyes that he maybe did just as bad as you did to be countries apart.
You sight and put away your phone, it doesn’t make anything better to be here, late at night, looking at pictures of a man who probably only thought about racing this weekend. It was late, midnight was soon about to pass and you were working tomorrow. Bedtime it is, you decided.
After brushing your teeth and getting ready for bed you heard your phone go off. Vibrating like it’s life depended on it in the silence of your apartment. You picked it up and faced the display, unknown number it said. Who would be calling you at this time? A small part in you hoped that it would be him. That he had been laying awake, thinking about you, not being able to sleep and just needed to call you, hear your voice. You answered the call with hope in your chest. What if it wasn’t him?
“Hi,” you let out a breath you didn’t know you held when a familiar voice came through the line. “I’m sorry that I haven’t called earlier. It’s been a stressful couple of days.” You could hear it in his voice how tired and apologetic he sounded.
“It’s alright. I understand, It’s been a lot for me too,” you lied. It had been calm at work the past couple of days and it stressed you out. You needed customers to keep your pub going and the few regulars wasn't enough anymore when the business premises rent increased.
“So, I’ve been thinking about that date we talked about.” He said and your heartbeat started to race. Was he actually serious about that date after all?
“Yeah, what did you realise from that?” You let yourself ask.
“That I miss you, dearly,” you melted. He was actually serious! Or so you hoped that he was. “And we have two weeks till the next race after this one. So I thought about paying you a visit. If that’s not a problem. And like, I don’t know, make that drink I now owe you.”
“I would love that,” you smiled to yourself.
“Perfect, I really need to sleep now. But I call you and we make up the day and time!” You let out a small giggle and agreed, wishing him good luck on the weekend and a good night’s sleep before ending the call. The anxiety you had felt the last couple of days disappeared in an instant, making you fall asleep with a smile stuck on your face.
***
It was five days after the phone call that you decided to meet up, he was supposed to pick you up at five to invite you to dinner at his place, at his place! You were elated and had been trying to pick out something to wear for the last hour. What was the meaning for this date? Get to know each other? You had been talking at your pub for months. Sure, you didn’t know who he was alone, between the four walls he called home. But you could say that you knew who he was quite well when he was out. But five different dresses, two pairs of jeans and a skirt later you decided for something casual. A dress would be fine, it was quite sexuall in you should be honest but you felt yourself tonight. It was him, you had seen him drunk more times that when you had seen him sober at this time.
Five past five you got a text messenger that told you that he was outside, waiting. Putting on a jacket and your shoes, you made your way outside. His sports car stuck out along the sidewalk, making you feel small and out of place. He was rich, you knew that, but did he have to flex it on you?
You open the car door and slink into the soft seat. It was an amazing car, the outline of it made it easy to look at and the inside was screamingly expensive.
“Hi, you look beautiful tonight,” he said quietly. It made you feel better that he acted as nervous as you felt.
“Thank you,” you gave him a smile as he put a hand on your bare thigh. As a reflex you put your hand on his. Everything felt so natural, like the two of you had done this thousands of times before.
“I’m going to say this now so you are aware. But I got a spare room! But I promised you drinks and I’ve been to the shop just now, and I’m going to drink as well so I won’t be able to drive you home later.” You appreciated his honesty. But if you should be honest, you had been secretly wishing for a night at his place.
“I’m fine about that. Kind of had it coming when you talked about alcohol involved.” You watched the city move past the windows off the car as he drove you two, music on low volym and his hand still on you. Your chest is warm with so many feelings that you couldn’t name.
The car ride wasn’t long, the both of you had made smalltalk about the previous race weekend and his result. How he felt about it and what he expected for the next one. It was easy, almost too easy, you couldn't shake it off how everything felt so right.
“So, this is me.” He had said when you later had parked the car and made your way up to his apartment. He opened the door and the first thing you noticed was the view. It was a beautiful city you lived in and his apartment had the best view. The sun was setting and the pink and orange colors colored the white walls with a livingness you otherwise only saw in your dreams.
“It’s beautiful,” you say when you could tear your eyes away from the view to look around his home. It wasn’t big but it was really cossy. The kitchen was neat and the living room was framing the big windows that caught the beautiful city outside.
“Thanks, I thought about making you dinner first, don’t want you to get alcohol poisoning from my amazing drinks,” he said as he was on his way to the kitchen.
“Oh, please. I don’t think it’s something positive to kill someone on the first date you know?” He flashed you a challenging smile.
“If you say so.” The two of you started the dinner he had preplanned. You prepared the potatoes as he got the meat ready. Set the table and lit candles. It was melting your heart to get to do all this with him. To set the atmosphere together.
The food soon was placed on the table and you both enjoyed the meal. Talking about how both of your jobs went and what the plans were in twenty years, what you had for goals in life.
***
“Okay, I’ve been practicing. I’m not gonna lie.” He said as he started to take out a couple of bottles. “And because everyone likes Moscow Mule, I'm going to make one for you as a starter.” You nod in agreement as you watch him mix Smirnoff and Ginger beer.
A couple of minutes later he poured up two glasses, one each, and made his way over to the soffa where you had seated yourself with a pillow you found in your lap. You take the drink from him when he takes a seat next to you, an arm behind you on the backrest. You take a sip from the drink, trying it, seeing if it’s as good as the one you make daily.
“This is really good,” you say. And you can hear it in your own voice how the surprise came out.
“I said it before, I only go to your pub to get to see and talk to you, I usually make my own drinks if I feel like drinking.” He says and you feel how he lays his arm around you, it’s hesitated but he hugs your shoulder and you can’t help yourself as you lay your head against his shoulder. Taking another sip on your drink.
The candles now on the coffee table in front of you make it perfect. The two of you, a drink each and the small tune of some romance playlist he absolutely should have playing in the background. You had been arguing about the music before you started to cook the food, but now, he was right. It was an amazing playlist and fit the mood.
You finished your drink when you saw that he was already done with his. You had decided that you should be taking turns on mixing drinks. You gesticulated for his empty glass and made your way over to the table he had put all the bottles on.
“One or two?” You ask.
“Hmm, which one is the strongest?” He asks with a smile on his lips.
“They are quite equal in that, but I think you would love this one,” you said and started to blend the ingredients. You bring the finished drinks back and give him his glass back. Watching him take a sip, trying it out.
“Oh, my God. This is amazing.” He says and takes another sip. You laugh.
“That’s the name of it. Isn’t it amazing. The Oh, My God drink.” You laugh and take a sip of your own.
“It’s an amazing name for it.” He places his arm behind you again, playing with the ends of your hair. Drinking the drink and watching the candle dance in front of you.
His hand found his way into your hair, feeling how it stops and how he starts drawing circles behind your ear. How he gently turns your head so the two of you face each other. You get eye contact before you turn your gaze away, the nervousness starts to creep up on you. Your heart sped up and you can’t help but let your gaze linger on his lips. Wishing for the plump lips to be on yours. But what you didn’t know was that he was thinking the exact same thing. You could see how his lips came closer to your face as you let your eyes meet him. You can see the question in his eyes, licking his lips. And without overthinking about it, you press your lips to his, placing your drink on the table and then place your hand in his hair. Oh, what you had fantasised to drag your fingers through his hair.
He had placed his own glass at the table and soon had his hands on your hips, guiding your leg over his so you straddle his hips. Deepening the kiss as you feel his hands roaming your body as he tries to remember every inch of every curve that makes your body yours. You both high on each other, his hands not still on one place longer than a second and your hands in his hair, trying to get a grip on the situation. You feel how his tongue tries to get past your lips, and with no resistance at all, you part your lips. Both your tongues fight for dominance as you continue. But soon the air in your lungs ends and you need to break the kiss.
“If we continue this, I’m not sure I can end it.” He says breathlessly. His face is buried in your neck and you feel how he leaves kisses from your ear down to your collarbone.
“I don’t know if I want you to stop,” you let out a moan as he placed a kiss behind your ear on your sweet spot.
“You sure?” He asks, leaning back to look into your eyes. You meet his eyes and for a second you only sit like that. Letting the situation sink in, you in his lap, his kiss swollen lips and a desire for the both of you ecually strong for each other. You let your eyes close as you lean into his touch, breathing in his scent and feeling how he guides you to a new kiss.
--
“Then let's take this to the bedroom instead.” He grabs your lover back with one hand and carefully stands up by pushing himself up with the other hand. You lock your legs around his hips as his free hand finds its place under your bum, squeeze it as he connects your lips once again.
He guided the both of you to his bedroom, never breaking the kiss more than to breathe. He stops walking and you break the kiss to ask why he stops, but the only thing that leaves your lips is a small surprise sound as he drops you onto a soft fabrik, the bed.
“I’ve been thinking about this for so long, you have no idea what you do to me,” he says and buries his head in the crock of your neck, leaving kisses downwards.
“So have I, and I hope all your rumors are more than talk.” He looks into your eyes before pushing your dress up, letting his hands explore your naked legs, but his eyes never leave yours.
“Oh, baby, you have no idea what I can do to you,” and you hadn't, the evening had ended with the both of you, high of the orgasm and a new feeling he had named that day in your pub when he had first told you about his feelings. He was the love of your life as well. And you hoped that your story had only started.
