Hi! I'd copy-and-pasted this request into my doc to write it, but now I can't find it in my inbox! I don't think it was anonymous, so if this is your request and it somehow got deleted, I'm very sorry! Thank you for requesting, apologies for the wait, and hope you like it <3

hi love!!! Congratulations on 1,000 followers!!! I absolutely adore your writing and if your requests are open I’d love it if you could right something about poly marauders with a reader who’s non-binary or gender fluid. Maybe they just got together and the reader hasn’t came out to them yet or something. Idk you get all the writing freedom, of course if you don’t want to write it’s totally fine!!! Thanks anyway 🫶💗🫶💗 xoxo

cw: marauders unknowingly misrepresent reader's pronouns+gender

poly!marauders x nb!reader ♡ 1.1k words

“Sirius, no.” Remus rubs at his temples. “I will not mar you with a tattoo gun you bought from some bloke on the street.”

“Oh, don’t be such a wuss,” Sirius complains, sitting spread out on his bed. “It'll be fun, you can all do it!”

“I’m on board,” James says from his own bed. He’s levitating his shoes about the room idly. “Hey Pads, can we draw anything we want?”

Sirius ponders this for a moment. “If you do a dick, it has to be small, and I’m putting an arrow with your name next to it.”

James’ smile fades, and he lets the shoes drop. “You’re no fun.”

“I don’t know,” you say to Remus, looking up at him from your chosen spot on the floor of their dorm. “It’s his body, I say let him cover it in shitty tattoos if that’s what he wants.”

“Yes!” Sirius hops down from his bed to throw an arm around your shoulders, planting a kiss on your cheek. “That’s what I’m talking about, that’s my girl!”

You’d begun to glow at his over-the-top praise, but you dim at the last bit. Sirius must feel it; he looks over at you quizzically as Remus says for the fifth time, “That’s fine, but I won’t have anything to do with it.”

“Well, it’ll…” Sirius’ eyebrows furrow as he continues to watch you. You try to bury your discontent where he can’t see it, but once he catches a whiff of melancholy he becomes a dog with a bone. The levity slowly leeches from his voice. “It’ll be more fun if you all do it…Sorry, sweetheart, is everything alright?”

You don’t want the attention, but you can’t bring yourself to lie. “I didn’t mean to distract you,” you say softly, shoulders hunching forward. “Keep going.”

“No, that’s alright.” His slender fingers squeeze at your shoulder like he can tell you need the comfort. “It’s not actually important. What’s on your mind?”

You want to tell him. You want to tell all of them, you have for weeks, but is there ever a right time? When the boys had first asked you out, it felt too abrupt to say anything, like you were making a big deal out of nothing because they didn’t even know you all that well. But now you’ve turned serious faster than you could’ve seen coming, and they feel like they do know you that well. And the longer you go without telling them, the more like you feel like you’re keeping some dirty secret.

You should have just corrected them the first time they’d gotten your pronouns wrong. Each time feels like someone’s chipping away at your heart with a toothpick, the pain lessened by your surety in their good intentions but still very much there. It’s almost worse, now, to be on the precipice of falling in love with people who you don’t feel really know you, and it’s all your own fault.

This isn’t how you’d imagined the conversation coming about, but it might be the best chance you get for a while.

“I, uh.” You clear your throat, unsure if you should move out from under Sirius’ arm for this conversation but really not wanting to. “I don’t…listen, it’s not your fault, but I don’t really like it when you call me your girl.”

Sirius lets his arm drop to look at you properly, hurt flashing across his features. You take his hand, selfish thing that you are. “I mean it, it’s really not your fault.” It’s more plea than promise. “It’s just that I don’t—I don’t really see myself as a girl. I’m sorry.”

You watch confusion take hold in Sirius’ expression before letting your eyes flit to the other boys. James looks tentatively like he’s beginning to understand, and Remus’ face is carefully controlled. He leans his elbows on his knees, looking down at you.

“What do you mean by that, honey?”

You know the endearment is meant to soften the question, but you get all tense around the middle anyway.

“Just that…” You swallow, and James offers you a small smile of encouragement. “I don’t really see myself as any gender. It’s…it’s called nonbinary, I don’t know if you might’ve heard of it before? I’m really sorry I didn’t say something sooner.”

“Hey, that’s alright.” James kicks a foot out from his bed, nudging your leg gently. “I’m really glad you told us, angel. Thank you.”

You try to return his smile, chewing your lip.

“Merlin, I thought you meant you didn’t want to be our girl,” Sirius sighs, bumping your shoulder with his. “That would have been unacceptable. You can be our something-else, though, if you like.”

This is going well, you tell yourself. They’re being as kind as you’d always expected. Still, you don’t feel like they fully understand what you’re so clumsily trying to tell them.

“I get it if this changes things for you,” you say, and when you lean away from Sirius’ touch, he doesn’t chase you. “I know this is…you signed on for a girlfriend, not this.”

The gentle smile drops from James’ face. His eyebrows twitch together uncertainly. “We…what? No, we didn’t…we didn’t ‘sign on’ for anything like that. We signed on for you.”

“Darling,” Remus says, in that careful, measured voice that you can’t decide if you should be nervous about, “I don’t know a lot about this, so correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the point that you’re still you? You’re just telling us how you’d like to be treated and understood, right?”

You take a second to run over his words in your head before nodding.

Everything about Remus has gone soft, from his eyes to the gentle uptilt of his mouth. “Then James is right. Nothing has changed. I mean, we can make any changes to our relationship that make you more comfortable, but nothing about how much we care for you is any different.”

“And look around you, sweetheart.” Laughter livens Sirius’ tone. “It’s not like any of us are only dating girls.”

A smile tugs at your lips. “That’s a good point,” you mumble, and he laughs, arm reclaiming its spot around your shoulders.

“Yeah, I actually do make those sometimes,” he teases. “Listen, gorgeous, I don’t think anyone here has a problem with you being whoever you are. Just tell us what you like to be called, and we will. And if there’s anything we do that you don’t like,” he adds, giving your shoulder a little squeeze, “you can tell us those things too.”

James nods, emphatic. “Exactly. We want to support you, angel. Thanks for telling us, but just keep talking to us when you can, okay?”

You have to bite down on your lip to contain the full scope of your smile. “Okay,” you promise him, overflowing with a gratitude that feels a lot like love. “Thanks. You guys are too sweet to me.”

Remus makes a pfft sound. “Dove, I cannot believe that is your standard for sweetness. You’ve set the bar far too low.”

GENDERBEND RAHHHHHH

i love drarry and i love women so put it together and you get this, i present to you: Harphine

Harry is consequently now named Harley; Draco is also now named Delphine (Full name Delphinus Lucius Malfoy, however asks to be referred to as Delphine because it's pretty). I decided to keep everyone else the same because the world centres around them. Delphine is the ultimate coquette girl, lana del rey wishes she could be as coquette as her. Mega popular girl and a trendsetter, one day she wears a headband to school, the next day, half the female students are as well. Extreme closet gay, internalised homophobia...

Harley on the other hand is a major tom-boy, as a toddler and young childhood she probably had a buzzcut or short hair because her hair was too much maintenance for the Dursley's. She also wore Dudley's old clothes so she was mistaken for a boy for most of her young life, she only began to grow it out when she started attending Hogwarts and got a major glow-up in third year. and now the multitude of headcanons: 1) Delphine resorts to flirting to get her way with male students, however it is only by accident does Harley discover Delphine is prudent when she flirts with her. Delphine immediately goes red, sputtering incoherently:

"MY FATHER WILL HEAR OF THIS!!!" "good, I'm glad he knows about me so it won’t be as awkward to meet him when I'm over for dinner"

Harley uses this to her advantage and begins to spread rumours about Delphine to finally get back at her for all these years 'Pure Blood Delphine Malfoy, sole heir, is a homosexual?!' It gets out of hand and Delphine's rep gets ruined or somethin

2) Harley is a bit of an artist, she likes drawing/doodling. One day she's sitting in potions class, not listening because fuck that, idly drawing on her parchment without much thought, only for her to realise that hey... this kind of looks like Delphine, and then realising she's just been drawing Delphine in various sitting poses for the past half an hour.

3) Even though Harley really hates Delphine, she has to admit, she's really fucking gorgeous, and in an odd way Harley kind of admires how put together she is. Harley does try to imitate her makeup one day because she wants to know how it feels to be pretty/put together, it turns out shite, Ron laughs at her, Harley beats him up; Delphine also laughs at her. But when they do become good friends, like fifth year or so, Delphine does do her makeup (imagine that one img of the girl on top of the other doing her eyeshadow, that's them).

3.5) Slight extension from the previous one, I mentioned this on my xwitter awhile back -- Harry purposely messes up his tie so Draco can fix it, because Draco's love language is to clean up people, i.e brushing lint off their shoulder, adjusting their collar, kind of like a cat. In this genderbent au, Harley messes up her lipstick everytime so Delphine can redo it.

4) Delphine is a massive closeted lesbian, and is pining for Harley in her own odd way. When they begin to get close, Delphine instictually reels back, because she's used to playing hard-to-get with other guys as a flirting method. She doesn't quite register that it doesn't work with girls, which leaves Harley wondering what she did wrong and why Delphine isn't as interested.

5) When they do finally get into a relationship, most likely like sixth/seventh year, it's very low-key and secretive because Delphine still has internalised homophobia/closeted. But Lucius ends up arranging her marriage because she's an only child and a female to the Malfoy name. What happens next is idk

6) Lucius either dotes on Delphine like a child who is in constant need of being helped and cannot be independent, or never speaks to her ever because he's disappointed he has a daughter.

OKAY THATS IT, I HAVE MORE HEADCANONS THAT I WILL POUR IF ENOUGH ASK FOR IT LOL... i wanna see if I can make Harphine their genderbend ship name, it's cute

also boobs bc im gay and so are they

#draco x harry #drarry #harry x draco #hpdm #dmhp #harphine #harry potter #draco malfoy

got tagged by @sharpbutsoft for the first lines of the writing patterns, and @jewishrat420 for the last lines of the writing patterns, so just gonna smush them all together here!

(also not gonna tag anyone because, as usual, i've been absent + idk who's done what -- so if you haven't, and you want to, consider you're self tagged!!)

Writing Patterns 🏁

rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there’s a pattern! / list the last line of the same 10 fics you shared opening lines for and see if there's a pattern!

“So, you gonna put out tonight or what?” asked Robin from where she was reclined on his bed, painting her toenails and drinking his pop. // “Yeah,” said Eddie. He kissed him again, even softer, sweeter. “Yeah, a promise.” (the valentine experience)

It started when Eddie said, “Seems kind of like a lot of bullshit that I’m about to die a virgin, man,” and Steve’s brain sort of spun out — because what? How? Eddie? He was a what? — as they sat in the middle of the woods, hotboxing the beemer in the late afternoon of what very well might be the day they died. // Eddie pressed his thumb to the corner of Steve’s mouth, said, “Guess we’d better live then, if we’re gonna go to Nationals or whatever,” and Steve said back, “Cool,” and then, smiling, Eddie replaced his thumb with his mouth. (in the backseat of your (boy)friend's car)

Eddie wakes up to sixty-eight unread text messages in his group chat with the boys. // “I mean,” says Eddie, and rolls him, laughing, over into his sheets for round two. (they're going to send us to prison for jerks)

At this point, Eddie’s life had really just sort of become an Aristotelian confluence of events. // “So gimme a sec, baby, and we’ll see if we can’t get this migraine sorted, okay?” (i give myself to you (as long as we move on the floor))

There’s laughter coming from the living room still as Eddie ushers Steve through the open door with a gentle hand at the small of his back. // For now, Eddie tucks his face into the soft, quiet juncture of Steve’s neck and shoulder, holds him close, and breathes, and it’s enough. It’s perfect. (your house is waiting)

On July Fifth — though she learns that after — Heather wakes up in a hospital bed. // “Yeah,” she says, and she means it. “I think we did.” (saint of ongoingness)

Hop buys a house in the Berkshires, after. // He thinks he’s going to like him. (these traces of available light)

November 1st, 1986 | Eddie, Well, man, you fuckin called it: fully got “gang-pressed” or whatever into hosting a Halloween party for the twerps last night. // “Well,” he repeats, the sun on his skin, the future like the ocean stretching out before them, way out and past the horizon. “Here’s to firsts then.” (scheming on a thing)

Ever since they walked out of Hawkins Middle for the last time in June, Lucas has been thinking about what high school is going to be like. // Maybe Max will show up for it, if he asks, he thinks. Maybe they all will. (zen, and the art of three point throws)

Getting shot, Eddie thinks, sucks balls, and not in the fun way. // With his hand still on his wrist, and Steve’s smile small and warm across from him, he’s kind of leaning towards a happy ending. Why not hope for the best for once? (three inches above the floor)

fic rec friday 25

welcome to the twenty-fifth fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

1. ladies and gentlemen we are rocking in space by @mayerwien

LANCE do u like the taste of spam, van kieu because thats what ull get 1 glorious terabyte of def-not-garrison-approved viewing matl every hour on d hour

KEITH And now you’re blackmailing me. Wonderful. Look, I’ll tell you, alright? Not because your threat scares me, but because I’d like to cut this conversation as short as humanly possible.

LANCE glad ur being so cooperative ;) ;)

Lance gets a new flight simulation partner. Lance makes a bunch of mixtapes. Lance falls in love?

Galaxy Garrison + texting au. For the Klance Zine!

i can confidently say, in my 6+ years of being a klance stan, i have never seen anything like this before or since. this fic is AMAZING. completely new idea, hilarious, sweet, and totally untouchable. i’ve always love testing fics that are done right (bc theyre always funny), and does this one ever knock it out of the park! the dynamics are amazing and the rivalry is EXQUISITE. bonus of vietnamese keith and filipino lance, and this one line (it’s a spoiler so im not going to put it here) that actually knocked me out of the water. its about the CHOICE.

2. But You’ll Peek Through by Barkour

It's weird, the things you get used to when you've been stuck in space for years. How much you miss home. Socializing regularly with only six people. No wifi. Your cranky boyfriend.

this is one of the earliest vld fics ever written, and it has a CROWN idk. this fic makes me feel so many emotions all at once. like i miss u 2016 fic i miss u keith gyeong i miss u bitchy klance i miss u early voltron found family dynamic i miss u old lance’s family headcanons i miss u bamf team. rip to the earliest voltron fandom (also. how did this author know about romelle. in 2016.)

3. Pull Me Closer by @thewriter2

An ancient power dwells in Lance’s very bones. It hums a sweet song of the sea in Lance’s ear, calling him to the water. Keith’s bones are on fire as the very spirit of the flame lives in him. However, it’s these ancient powers that begin to pull them together; that shows them how to properly balance each other out

i SEARCHED for this fic. i made half my followers search with me too. this fic is bamf lance to the fucking max, and its AMAZING. how many of you have wanted waterbender lance so badly you could barely speak? firebender keith? if u said u didnt then ur lying. this fic has literally everything you could ask for in a canon divergence

4. The Homestead by @devooshawrites

Keith is hired for the summer to work on the farm of the McClain family. He and the youngest son of the family become good friends, though Keith might want more.

i am so fucking in love with aus like this. cowboy or farmboy where theyre quietly in love in their own bubble of the world?? i cannot get enough of them. i would read a million of them. this fic in particular is SO soft and tender, it is so so important to me. ive read it so many times. its one of those fics that brings a smile to your face that u literally cannot fight back

5. Prince Charming by @taylortot

Lance thinks that Prince Keith is just another stuck-up royal with an attitude problem until they spend some time together outside of the palace and he discovers that he couldn't have been more wrong.

Written for The First of Forever Zine!

this fic is SO tender it is sickeningly sweet. “rivals” to friends to lovers is so special to me, and no one does it like taylortot fr. love is stored in the tender moments away

that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

#i am almost out of my most favourite ever vld fics i will have to move to all my other bookmarks in a couple weeks!!#vld #voltron #lance #lance mcclain #keith #keith kogane #klance #modern au #historical au #bamf lance #vietnamese keith #filipino lance #fic rec #fic rec friday

Ep 11: Escape from Pain

Day 11 of @trigun98watchparty.

This ep doesn't hang together as well as others do, but it does demonstrate the seedier, rougher realities of NML (dangerous terrain, human trafficking, slavery, extortion) and that even the best of intentions can have negative consequences for the innocent.

It is also a preview of the larger conflict to come between Wolfwood's pragmatism and Vash's idealism, with Milly standing in for Vash. (there is a very strong argument to be made that Milly stands in for Vash in many other ways where WW is concerned.)

--If you don't love Milly after this ep, idk what to tell you. Her intuition borders on being a sixth sense. She's all Vash's sweetness and love without the lifetime of pain and suffering, and with good sibling relationships.

--"Oh my, I'm about to go down in fuh-lames!"

--Life tips from WW: if you need to apologize to someone for being a dick, buying that person a gigantic bag of snacks is a good way to start.

--WW's "hoo-wee!" is priceless. Do not mess with Milly.

--it's okay, WW, you can admit you're sunk

--Throughout the series, if Vash is wearing his sunglasses and you can't see his eyes, he's in Stampede tough-guy-mode. Which is the biggest act he puts on, except... is it?

--"If people need helping, if I can, I have to help them. k?" damn, Milly, drop that mic

--the question is... is Milly helping? Or is she making things worse? She's going to get herself hurt in the process. Sounds like someone else we know.

--Meryl pulls a gun on Vash. He takes a risk that she's bluffing. She's crushed (he really is despicable, despite what she has seen?) she lashes out, she wants to kill him before he can kill the runaways... but somehow, she figures out he's bluffing too. And then, we see his eyes.

--And it's WW with a steel chair! er... Cross Punisher.

--Vash will use his terrible reputation to great effect when it serves a higher purpose. He'll be the fall guy. He's done it before. He'll do it again. He's got the scars to prove it.

--"I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further."

--Even Mr. Ultimate Pragmatist Hard Man Wolfwood, who held his own gun to his head to prove a point to the runaways, is disappointed that Vash isn't who WW thought he was.

--Milly sure packs a wallop. She probably got Vash the ice pack, though.

--Exit WW, stage left. Time to report in. Guess he fixed his bike.

Did not realize until just now that WW doesn't see Vash again until after the Fifth Moon incident, and how long have I been in this fandom? One hundred demerits.

i wanna know about the entire cast for the swap au. how would ramona's dynamic with the exes act as?

Ok word vomit incoming. tldr at the end for basics just scroll till you see tldr in blue, the essay is for the real bitches who like lore

Obviously in my au knives takes gideons spot rather than a different ex of scotts like how other ppl do but i decided to make her the daughter of a rich business man (mr.chau) who is gonna pass the business down to her when shes 20 (in my au knives and scott “date” when she like 16/17 like in the books but a good chunk of the exes bullshit + everything before happens right when she turns 19 and she does like. a few chapters into the book and then at the end of the series around the canon gideon scott fight is when shes 20) ofc this also changes scotts age a bit but. lowk idgaf abt him rn hes like 26 at the start or so now instead of 24. roxie and wallace swap place unfortunately, i dont like wallace but i have to put him somewhere. roxie is a semi popular artist and ramona is a mooch who showed up to her apartment after a bad breakup and just never left but they actually have a nice apartment but theyre still in Canada(she drunkenly got on multiple buses and trains from nyc to Toronto at roxies place and survived dont ask how its that white girl swag).

todd takes kims place shocker i know. the twins,todd and ramona all have a band together they replace sex bob omb because they all attend the same college in this au

lucas lee and lisa switch. (yes todd,ramona and lucas beef still happens dont worry)

envy is the 3rd ex and is dating gideon. she has pyromancy psychic powers rather than vegan ones. kim is the first ex still hung up on how scott ditched her in highschool only to find out he was two timing her with lisa. the twins end up. Somewhere. Julie takes one of the twins spots (holly might take the other one. I dont know)

I hate it when ppl age down matthew patel to fit knives’ spot but its also kinda weird because of the whole age difference thing its Odd no shade to anyone who does but it icks me out so im not doing it. Matthew is this guy ramona dates but shes lowk using him for money and cheats on him multiple times (manipulating him to forgive her) before scott is even in the picture.

also in my edit we see she still dyes her hair but she only does highlights and streaks because shes too afraid of commitment in more ways than one.

tbh i need to develop this more but heres the skeleton of my idea also all the exes are friends and often hang out at roxies place but matthew is the last to join them but theyre all friends who dislike ramona lowkey but tolerate her.

if im missing anyone you wanna hear about send me another ask!

TLDR; all of ramonas exes r technically her friends but they do not actually fw like that until the end.

ramona(loser leech)<-->scott(manic pixie dream boy whos life i being tampered with by knives)

roxy->wallace (lesbian semi known artist roommate)

matthew->knives (not aged down,chump being used)

knives -> gideon (daughter of a business man whos passing it down)

todd->kim (whore drummer)

lucas lee->lisa (new actor. Whore)

twins-> stephen stills (in ramonas band)

kim->matthew (first ex)

lisa->lucas (second ex)

envy ->todd(third ex)

wallace->roxy (fourth ex)

julie + hollie-> twins (fifth and sixth ex)

knives doesn't want scott anymore but shes set on making sure he pays for what he did (cheated,lied, used her for money etc)

ty for being interested in my au! idk if im gonna keep doing stuff for it or yk have it as a little side project to keep me busy sometimes! also i did take inspo from other ppl to kinda Frankenstein this together

#scott pilgrim #tech.txt #sorry for this long post i love talkng but posting publicly on a whim makes me nervous and uncomfy #lmk if you wanna know anything else please ^_^ im kinda making stuff up as i go so please ask me anything #i forgot to mention my oc azure who i ship with knives but shes for another time I'll draw her soon ;)

olderbrother!skz headcanons pt 2!!

ahh maknae line! hyung line

han

you guys are inseparable

you also get mad at minho for stealing your brother

also han and u are actual soulmates

minho is second (and less cool in ur opinion)

only about one-two years apart

when yall meet he does the ‘where my hug at?’ thing

its either you koala hug him or he does

just like, legs wrapped around waist typa hug

or he’ll bury his face into your armpit

you think it’s disgusting but he argues its comfy

he sends you all his photos he wants to post

then you choose the ones you like

he likes anime; you like kdramas

constantly fighting abt which is better

it got so heated once that even felix rose his voice for yall to stfu

its okay tho u made up a day after and went to the park to have a singing contest

you watch silly documentaries together

your chat is filled with stupid jokes and complaints

but he’s the first to know when something is wrong

started dissing this kid who bullied you in fifth grade

he got sent to the office but gave you a hug right before

steals things from photoshoots to give to you

spams you when he’s in the studio

asks you for lyric inspo and uses your terrible love life as inspo

once you showed one of his songs to your partner

’my brother wrote this about my last ex. dont make him do it again, he cried writing it.’

well your partner also cried so

matching stuffed animals <3

asks you to help him learn twice choreo

bc ur a huge once

he also got you a signed album from them

’oh here noonas gave me this idk why tho’

felix

loves you to death.

like fr its scary

youre four-five years younger than him

so you basically have eight older brothers

nicknamed you smiley bc your smile is the cutest thing ever (and it is)

runs to you calling ‘smiley!!!’

and lifts you off the ground when you hug

he hooks his chin around your shoulder and smells you

you think him smelling you is weird but it isnt

bc according to him you smell like ‘vanilla and lavenders and lemon’

it is so very random but you love it anyways

you two balance each other out so well, in a really weird way tho

like he’s hyper and energetic and sweet

while your active and excited and a little bitter

your insults and comebacks make him cry laugh every time

and you do the same with felix

he will NEVER shut up abt you trust

like seungmin once put him on a ban from talking about you

but he just started texting about you so

taught you taekwando

and now you fight hand to hand against changbin (and win most times)

felix doesnt like it tho bc ‘changbinnie'll get hurt and cry!’

both of your puberty hormones went to your voice box

his got deeper and huskier; yours is silkier and in the middle tone range leaning deep

but its like a rich deep ya know?

when he’s sleepy he starts mumbling random sentences and you record them snd send them to you group chat named ‘skz (-1 sunshine +1 smiley)’

if seungmin thought felix was bad at gaming, youre even worse

most of the time you end up dying

its funny because you started gaming before felix did too

you gave each other sweatshirts for white day in korea

and now your roommate hates when you use it because its so worn down and lowk smelly

jeongin has to beg felix to take it off and put it in the wash

dance parties at random times

especially if you or felix are feeling down

the playlist ‘HOE DANCE DOWN!’ is blasting

consisting of twice, charli xcx, dua lipa, and olivia rodrigo

other artists too and some from jyp bc felix loves his jypnation

not jyp tho anytime felix complains abt the ‘stupid motherfucker who wont shut up and has no talent and too much confidence’

complains ESPECIALLY while yall r playing fortnite, on your request

baking is your shared therapy

felix makes brownies, you make cookies

perfect duo in the kitchen

you bake so often that watching you two is like a dance

members will literally watch you bake and you flip them off

‘LIXIE I GOT FLIPPED OFF AGAIN!’

‘JISUNG STOP BEING A CREEP!!’

rock paper scissors is YOUR thing

like felix will just turn to you and stick his fist out

you also win almost every time

seungmin

you literally have twin telepathy

mainly bc your twins but he is also thirty two minutes older

so, day ones

gatekeeps you from his friends but not the group

because somehow they already knew who you were

you introduced yourself to them the day they debuted

only pretends to be sad abt not being a twin in the group

because he already has you and wouldnt change it for anything

the only person he will not hesitate from skinship is you

pats on the head, chin on shoulder, holding hands, occasional squeezing

his hugs are your safe spot

he’d tap you on the shoulder and take your arm

then he starts massaging you after pulling you into the hug

and it feels so good

and he’s surprisingly good at it too

treats you like a baby bc ur the youngest in you family (by a half hour)

once got you a new phone to stop you from complaining

you think its because he loves you but that is denied every time (its true tho, bc who wouldnt love you?)

only person who can calm you down

when you get too mad

he’ll call you or lay next to you

rub your back until you calm down

if youre on call he’ll put on music and start singing random shit

youre the orange kitty to his golden retriever puppy

you literally paw at him until he gives you his attention

he’ll get excited and its the cutest thing you’ve seen

wakes you up by singing the high note in ‘cover me’ in your ear

ever since he’d recorded that he’s been bragging abt it

but you dont mind bc his singing is nice and you know he would feel the same if you bragged about your fashion designs and website

every day you leave him sweet messages (like his older sister!!)

‘oh seungmo, love your hair today! your smile lit up my room puppy’

in return he sends cute gifs

he also learned french from the i am you tour to swear at you

asks for help in english before events/interviews where english will be used

you were the one who calmed his worries before the paris fashion week

since youre an english and fashion design major he relies on you

he will also never get over the fact that his TWIN is double majoring

your literally jeongin’s favorite tho

bc if seungmin says no you’ll say yes

very very mischevious

if one of you are having a bad day

you’ll just bring the other to a rage room

very effective

jeongin

he’s the maknae of the group and hates getting babied

so he automatically doesn’t baby you

maybe he does a little bit….

but thats because you told him it was okay and you liked it

youre around three years younger than him

so everyone in the group babies you

jeongin is always the first to go and greet you tho

spooks you tho

goes behind your back and yells ‘boo!’ in your ear

he gets punched by you after that

you just tackle him and squeeze him

but he goes ‘oh youve grown so big now!’

he’s also been getting stronger so when he goes into his normal hug where he puts his amrs around and under your armpits, you get squeezed until youre out of breath

on that note

he takes you to the gym bc you’ve been wanting to work out since starting college

he wanted to b your gym buddy (also was scared of u dying bc of asking binnie)

pushes you enough to finish bc he knows ur limits <3

you go to a convinience store after your workouts

both of yall try to pay BUT you make a schedule for who pays

you switch off

innie is extremely proud he made that idea

share a gym playlist

and most of your playlist

bc ur music taste is so similar you end up collabing playlists

you both do daily fit checks

slowly you’ve been able to coax him out of terrible shoe choices

you’ll show him something new and he’ll be like

‘oh is this what all the youngsters are wearing now?’

he busts out these rubber shoes that give you a headache

‘im doing it for stay’ you know stay’s reaction bc u r one

you always show what stays are saying on pinterest and call them simps

but you also cant talk bc, and jeongin quotes this

‘damnn hyunjin looking fine enough to be mine’

but also jeongin constantly uses pick up lines on YOUR friends

if he ever picks you up he’ll turn to someone your hanging out with

‘are you the sun because youre so hot you burn my retinas’

and everyone is just. majorly confused

its his random space obsession showing okay

you went on a planetarium date one time

he talked your ear off and then you bit his ear

retaliation for all the times he’s bit you when he was a wee little one

after that you went shopping

a stay photographed yall starting dating rumors

but its okay bc jeongin addressed it in his lives

telling everyone youre siblings

there is a ten minute video of him cracking up, tears flowing bc of the situation

@chans-muffin i delivered!!!!

vro0m's rewatch - 170/332

2016 Chinese GP

Okay so they reverted back to the old quali format, Lewis had a problem with his PU and he's last on the grid meanwhile Nico is on pole for the first time of the year… He's sharing the first row with Ricciardo. Raikkonen is behind them alongside Seb. Valtteri is fifth, then it's Kvyat, Perez, Sainz, Verstappen and Massa.

From the drivers' truck Lewis tries to say hi to the crowd but they can't hear him. Johnny asks if he's ready for the race and Lewis says he doesn't have a choice. It reminds him of going to races with his dad and a shit car and starting from the back but this time he has a good car.

It's gonna be a challenge but he'll give it everything he's got. He hopes it's entertaining because he doesn't plan on staying where he is.

He knows he has great fans who will be on that journey with him. Johnny asks what result he'd be happy with today. Lewis says with a laugh normally you're never happy with anything other than first.

But considering where he's starting he just wants to make sure he gets points. He acknowledges the work his guys put in the night before, putting the car back together, so getting the most possible points is a reward for that.

The build up isn't very interesting. There's a segment about Haas' good results in their first two races, and an Alonso interview

They're on the way to the grid. Crofty says nobody has ever won from the back of the grid, but John Watson, in 1983, started 22nd, so same as Lewis that day, and won. At the time, there were 28 drivers total.

Okay. It's time for the race.

They are racing!

Ricciardo overtakes Nico while I see Lewis overtake at least two cars at the back. The Ferraris struggle! They got very close and Kvyat overtook them both. AND THERE IS CONTACT BETWEEN THE TWO FERRARIS! Oh it's chaos, the top 10 is in shambles. Apparently Lewis also got damage? HE LOST HIS FRONT WING omg. It's stuck under his car. Horrible horrible weekend. Seb is on the radio saying he made contact. He says the RedBull was coming up the inside "like a madman" and that's why he hit Raikkonen. At the end of the first lap, the order goes Daniel, Nico, Kvyat, Perez and Hulkenberg, Sainz, Massa, Seb, Jenson, and Valtteri. Raikkonen pits from P20 and Lewis is nowhere to be seen, unfortunately. Oh here he comes in as well. And Nico overtakes Ricciardo just as Ricciardo's tyre BLOWS UP! Completely delaminated 2013 style. Kvyat overtakes him as well, of course. And it's a safety car. There's too much debris on the track. That's good for Lewis because it brings him right back near the other cars but he's complaining of how the car feels. A bunch of people pit, of course. Including Seb. Loads of traffic in the pitlane. On the start replay we see Lewis ran over the debris from the Ferrari collision and then got hit by Nasr. We also see Seb overtaking two cars in the pitlane entry and then Lewis pits again?! They put him on supersofts now (he started on softs and then got back on softs after they changed his nose). I guess the idea is he needs to be able to overtake at the restart… On the radio, Bono says : "We have a plan, nothing wrong all part of the plan." – "Sorry I’m boxing again now?" he asks. OH MY GOD HE IS ACTUALLY PITTING AGAIN?! . "Affirm, we’re going to fit the soft so we don’t have to use any other compounds," Bono answers. It's not even lap 10 and they pitted him THREE TIMES already?! I mean I get it but it's not like he's gonna be able to do 50 laps on softs, is he?! Well I've shown over and over on this blog that I'm a terrible strategist so we'll wait and see and trust their experience but right now I'm mostly just baffled. Seb is still talking about the collision. "Kvyat's attack was suicidal, there was always going to be a crash. No way with the speed he had he could have done the corner." I haven't really watched the collision carefully so idk. I guess we'll see in the postrace. The journalists aren't convinced. Also Ted is about as convinced by Mercedes' strategy as I am because we get from the radio that they don't wanna use the mediums. Ted says getting to the end of the race only on soft tyres would probably necessitate 3 more stops, for a 6 stop strategy ultimately. So… Yeah… in the meantime we see all the traffic jam in the pitlane earlier. It's insane. Nowaday that would be a bunch of penalties. So many collisions were barely avoided. The safety car is about to come in. Here we go. Seb is making moves.

On lap 10, Nico is in the lead followed by Massa, Kvyat, Alonso, Wehrlein, Gutierrez, Perez, Valtteri, Pal ? Who's Pal? Oh it's Palmer, right, then Jenson is P10. Seb is currently P12, up two places in one lap I believe, Ricciardo is P15, Raikkonen is P18 and Lewis P19. And Seb overtakes Sainz for P11. Raikkonen overtook Magnussen for P17. Lewis overtakes him as well, quite aggressively. Seb is up in P10 in the meantime. Nico is cruising ahead but Valtteri attacks Perez who's on the tail of Gutierrez, Seb is just behind, now in P9, biding his time. LEWIS OVERTOOK RAIKKONEN! Good job. It would have been difficult having to follow him up the pack. Loads of action I can't keep up. Palmer and Ricciardo are battling over P12 and Ricciardo won, at least for now. Seb attacks Valtteri but can't quite make it. These four are very close to one another. Lewis is up in P15! Seb finally gets Valtteri for P8. Wehrlein is overtaken by Perez for P5, just as Seb makes up another place by getting ahead of Gutierrez. At the back Lewis overtook Palmer for P14. And as we're watching replays of his overtakes, Seb overtakes Wehrlein and puts himself in P6. Kvyat gets P2 by overtaking Massa and Lewis is P13 after getting Hulkenberg. Next step is Ricciardo. And here he attacks! Not enough yet… Daniel is also attacking Gutierrez for P11, they're wheel to wheel… It's done, down the inside, Lewis follows through and HE's now wheel to wheel with Gutierrez. But he has to wait for a couple more corners to do it from the outside. He's immediately catching Ricciardo. Seb overtakes Perez for P5! He's so close to Alonso he's basically tapping him on the shoulder. He attacks! He's ahead down the straight but Alonso gets the slipstream and tries to attack back. The straight is too short though. That's P4 for Seb. BUT OH HO some pieces flew off his car! Raikkonen pits. He wasn't able to follow Lewis up the field. Lewis overtakes Jenson for P10! He's 25 seconds away from Nico now. Alonso pits and that puts him on P9. Seb is chasing P3. Oh he pits. He's out behind Lewis, in P13. It might be interesting if they battle. But Lewis probably will pit as well.

Alright that was a busy 10 laps, now we're on lap 20, and the top 10 currently reads Nico, Kvyat, Massa, Valtteri, Sainz, Oh but Kvyat pits wait. There's a three way fight between him as he gets out of the pits, Seb and Verstappen. So as I was saying. Nico, Bottas, Lewis now up in P3 somehow?????!?!? /? //// seriously what? Last I checked he was P9?! Anyway Jenson is P4, Kvyat P5, Verstappen P6, Seb P7 AND NICO PITS. So we wait again. And Seb overtook Verstappen and where is Kvyat?! I CAN'T KEEP UP. WAIT A SECOND SO I CAN RECAP THE TOP 10 PLEASE. Seb overtakes Jenson.

SO. THE TOP 10. Nico, Valtteri, Lewis. Kvyat is now P4, Seb P5, Jenson P6, Perez P7, Massa P8, Ericsson P9, Alonso P10. No idea where Max went so I guess he pitted. Someone is being investigated for driving too slowly in the pitlane but I don't remember who and now we're informed some unsafe release concerning Perez will be investigated after the race. Lewis pits! He's now P14… P13. P12. P11. He attacks Raikkonen for P10. There's a three way battle for P5 between Perez, Valtteri and Jenson. A bit later, Raikkonen overtakes Jenson for P9, and then Lewis as well as he pits. He's back in the points! He attacks Raikkonen again! He still can't make it, Raikkonen is making it hard. But Perez pits so that's P9 anyway.

That's lap 30. Nico is still ahead of course, followed by Kvyat again, and Seb. Massa and Valtteri are next, then Daniel, Sainz, Raikkonen and Lewis, P10 is Verstappen. On the radio we just hear Lewis say "I am." which is confusing. The transcript shows it was in answer to Bono telling him to give it everything he has. Oh yeah NOW we hear the complete exchange. He pits again and this time it's for the mediums so what was the point of the weird strategy earlier? He's back in P10 quickly enough but as the commentators– well it's P9 now. As the commentators point out though, most people ahead of him will not pit again so he's gonna have to work for it on track. Again. Kvyat and Seb pit. Nico pits but literally nobody cares at this point. There's a battle for P3 between Kvyat, Raikkonen and Seb. Seb overtakes Raikkonen pretty quickly and then Kvyat in about as little time. He's P3. Raikkonen pits.

On lap 40, Nico, Seb, Kvyat. Four way battle for P4 between Max, Massa, Valtteri and Lewis. Daniel is P8, Perez P9– Massa overtakes Verstappen and Verstappen pits, Lewis attacks Valtteri, P5 ! Daniel is getting into the action as well. Oh that's an easy overtake on Valtteri, dangerous for Lewis. His tyres are fresher. But Valtteri strikes back! Oh he can't… ohhh there we go Daniel is right on Lewis… He defends, he defends, but Daniel has the pace… Lewis locks up again… He's looking for a way past Massa… and Daniel overtakes him. Now he's under pressure from Raikkonen… he's attacking Massa but can't make it and now Raikkonen is attacking him! 10 laps to go. He attacks again… Yeah. That's another lost place. Raikkonen overtakes Massa as well and Lewis is back to chasing the Williams. 5 laps to go now. The ending is pretty anticlimactic.

And it's the end of the race.

Nico wins again. In the end the rest of the top 10 was Seb, Kvyat, Daniel, Raikkonen, Massa, Lewis P7, Verstappen, Sainz, Valtteri.

As usual Seb speaks with Nico in German. I don't understand German despite studying it for like 10 years but I think he mentioned "schlafen", to sleep. They watch the screens. Seb says something about Lewis, but I can't hear because Nico is shaking the camera and the mic makes a noise. Kvyat says something we can't hear as well. Seb turns to him. "You! Asking what happened at the start?!" he says, half stunned, half amused. "(Inaudible) to the left you crash into us and we all flew (inaudible)." – "Well," Kvyat starts but Seb interrupts. "No, not 'well', you came like a torpedo!" – "Well that's racing," Kvyat laughs like a 13 year old boy joking about boobs. "Uh that's racing but you know if I keep going the same line, we crash," Seb says. "Well don't keep going," Kvyat says with the same hollow laugh. Seb is not amused anymore. "Yeah but there was a car on the left also," he says. Nico is all smiles behind them. Kvyat says he didn't see that because he only has two eyes. Seb shrugs. He says they could have crashed if that's how he went at it and Kvyat says "we didn't". "YOU didn't!" Seb corrects him. They keep going. Seb says sure it's racing but he's gonna get damage if goes at it like he's crazy. "You were lucky this time!" – "Well I'm on the podium so that's okay," he answers again with the same equal cocky smirk. He's annoying. Seb raises his eyebrows. This conversation is going nowhere. Unfortunately the video glitches and I can't hear the end.

On the podium they basically replay the same conversation. I'm over it. Oh apparently Nico almost got kicked out of his plane from Mexico because he was partying too much. Embarrassing tbh.

I only have a partial post race. Hopefully we at least get Lewis' interview? We do, it's the first interview we hear.

He smiles as she says it hasn't been his weekend. He says he got a good start but it's always difficult from the back not getting caught up in what happens ahead. He tried to fight his way through but everytime he had to pit he had to do it all again. "But anyway, that's racing and uh… Not a great finish for us this weekend but uh, you know, hopefully onwards and upwards." She asks if in hindsight maybe one of the stops wasn't needed. He says he just got out of the car so he doesn't have any hindsight. She asks how difficult it is to follow the cars in front in the Mercedes. He's not enjoying the question. He hums. He says he talks about it all the time. The track is good because you can overtake but the car was pretty damaged. He suspects there was suspension damage as well.

Toto says there's some stuff they need to work on but he's happy RedBull is back in the mix and it was exciting to see three teams battling for the podium.

Out of the press conference, Ted says Kvyat has moved from laughing it off to standing his ground while Seb still can't let it go. He also confirms that Lewis not being able to do longer stints on his softs tyres (12 laps compared to Nico's 23) was due to the damage to the front of the car that was shredding the tyres.

At the end of the notebook, Ted mentions Lewis saying something about fighting himself during the press conference. He then says Toto said Saturday night during the Mercedes press conference that Lewis was so one with himself and it was fantastic to see so they asked Lewis about it. Apparently he said it was nice to hear that from Toto. "He's a very big part of the journey I'm on, you know earlier in my life, throughout my life my friends used to say to me 'Lewis you don't know who you are, it's like you're searching for yourself.' but now I've found myself, I've found my identity". And I think that's a very important thing to mention in this rewatch.

That's it for now!

Hey! I love your writing <3 idk if you are still taking requests so feel free to ignore this but could you write an angsty fic where Xavier is too busy chasing Wednesday to notice what he had all along (reader). With a happy ending pls <3

ty! hope you enjoy this ❤️

“damn it, i got the weathervane” your best friend announces dejectedly.

“oh, me too!” you tug on his sleeve. he looks down at you with a smile.

“nice!” Xavier offers his hand for a high five and you take the opportunity. neither of you would consider serving coffees to be the most exciting volunteer opportunity, but you do enjoy spending time together. you still remember the day you met Xavier, and the two of you (along with Ajax) had been inseparable ever since. although these days, you and Xavier were often left third wheeling with Ajax and his complicated feelings for Enid developing. things get even more complicated when Ajax realized his shift with Wednesday had been switched out for one with his new crush.

when the day arrives, you and Xavier tease Ajax like your life depends on it. “ooooh AJ’s got a crush!” you pinch the blushing boy’s shoulder.

“i do not!” he squeals childishly.

“you definitely do, haven’t seen you this red since-“ Ajax is quick to cover Xavier’s mouth with his hand.

“c’mon guys, at least i have someone” you raise an eyebrow at Ajax’s statement but stay quiet. Xavier is stunned into silence too, but only you know how to read him well enough to notice the minuscule change in his features. you’re more than grateful when Enid appears, and you and Xavier make your way to the weathervane.

“bet i can make more coffees than you” you tease while nudging him.

“you don’t even know how to make coffee, plus Tyler has to teach us first” you know vaguely of Xavier’s “history” with Tyler, and that things are rough between them now. your lips pull into a thin line and you put a hand on Xavier’s back. he relaxes his posture the slightest bit.

“hey, i’m not gonna let him say shit to you alright? if he lays a hand on you i won’t let him see the light of day ever again” Xavier smiles at that, and your heart swells at the thought that you’ve reassured him, even just temporarily.

“you sound like a parent” he says while scratching the top of your head.

you roll your eyes sarcastically, mentally making a note to distract him from whatever Tyler has planned. the training for the coffee shop is agonizing, but Xavier knows it would be much worse if you weren’t there. while Tyler’s back is turned, you make faces to mock him and Xavier does his best to hide his giggling. After you learn the basics, you make it your mission to make the worst coffees and force Tyler to try all of them, to make sure they’re “customer safe”.

“dude, you have to stop” xavier whispers while choking on laughter. Tyler is throwing away the fourth coffee you’ve made, and you’re already working on a fifth.

“i’m just looking out for our lovely customers Xavier, they’re ‘looking for a certain standard’” you say while using air quotes, mocking the speech Tyler has given you earlier. you pour an excessive amount of coffee grounds into your next serving, and Wednesday walks through the door at that moment. she approaches Xavier and you watch.

“want a coffee?” he offers.

“i’m here to see Tyler” she responds with her usual cold tone.

“i told you he was bad news” Xavier warns.

“twice.” she pauses “but who i speak to is my business”

Xavier walks off after that, his entire demeanor changed. the smile has been wiped off of your face as well, and you spend the rest of the shift making coffees in silence. you’re pretty sure Xavier is jealous of the attention Wednesday gives Tyler, which in turn dampens your mood. making jokes suddenly isn’t as easy after watching your unrequited crush interact with his unrequited crush.

Ajax picks the two of you up after Outreach day is over, giddy with the excitement of being asked out by Enid. you do your best to cheer him on, but he notices something is off with you and Xavier and pulls you off to talk in private after you drop Xavier off at his room.

“what… happened today? was it Tyler?” Ajax questions.

“no… yes- kind of— i don’t know!” you rub your hands over your face in frustration “AJ, i think Xavier’s got a crush on Wednesday”

“yeah, so?” he looks puzzled

“well, she came in today, and i think she’s got a crush on Tyler”

“i don’t know, Xavier’s complicated… i’ve known him for years and it’s still hard to read him” he takes a breath “unfortunately, you’re a little easier, and i think you’re upset for him, but you’re also upset because it seems like you’re a part of this…. ‘romance’ situation…” he meets your eyes hesitantly.

“damn it AJ, was it really that easy?” Ajax smiles and gives you a playful nudge.

“what can i say, i am the master of romance” he says while shrugging his shoulders

“ew!” you laugh.

“well, i’d be lying if i said i didn’t think he had feelings for you too”

“but you just said he’s hard to read!”

“i said it was hard, not impossible” ajax smirks “plus, you don’t see the looks he gives you while you’re turned away”

“oh c’mon” you groan “now you’re just lying to make me feel better”

“hey, that’s the least i can do for the torture you guys inflict on me” you spend the rest of the night forcing Ajax to tell you every detail about his day with Enid.

the next few weeks, you watch and help Xavier and Ajax furiously prepare for the Poe cup. Xavier has deemed today “finalizing designs day”. you make your way to Ms. Thornhill’s classroom, which you know is Xavier’s last period before lunch. it’s tradition for you to pick him up and walk there with him, but today is different. you peer through the doorway, searching for him and finally land on his hunched over figure, sitting next to Wednesday. she must have moved seats, you think to yourself. you wait patiently for them to finish their conversation, growing frustrated as it drags on. you wish you were better at reading lips as you watch Xavier laugh at something, and Wednesday gives him a small smirk. Wednesday never smiles… what could he have possibly said?

you’re brought back to reality when Xavier confronts you with Wednesday by his side “hey… sorry for the late notice, but i need to talk through some stuff with Wednesday, i’ll catch up to you later?��

“sure” you don’t let him get another word in before storming off and ranting about the whole event over lunch with Ajax and Enid.

“if it makes you feel any better, i don’t think we Wednesday has felt anything for anyone ever, except maybe Tyler” Enid tries to reassure you.

“that’s not what it seemed like today” you huff.

after the lunch incident, you’re really not looking forward to meeting up with Xavier to discuss Poe cup plans. you drag yourself up the stairs to his hall, and see that he’s left the door open since he knew you were coming. you poke your head through, Xavier’s back is turned so he doesn’t see you snake over behind him. when he hears the floor creak as you take your closest step to him, he slams his sketchbook abruptly.

“jesus! a little warning would be nice” he pants.

“what were you drawing?” you respond snidely, leaning over him.

“n- nothing” he goes red.

you let your jealousy get the better of you “was it Wednesday? it seems like you’ve got a little crush on her…”

you have him cornered, physically and mentally “i- she’s alright i guess”

you punch his arm “i knew it!” he recoils and rubs it while pouting “Ajax had it all wrong, i cant believe i thought he was right”

“what?” Xavier blushes harder somehow “what did he say!?”

“oh nothing, he was just totally off about who he thought you actually like”

you’re not sure how you’ve held it together this long. your heart sunk the moment you mentioned Wednesday and you’ve regretted every second since. it’s a mystery that Xavier still hasn’t picked up on the fact that you want nothing more than to melt into the floor at this moment. he opens his mouth and interrupts your dismal thoughts.

“okay, i think we should focus on the Poe cup now, could you review these designs?” he hands you a stack of paper and you take them, staring down at the detailed sketches he’s made without a thought processing through your head. Xavier waves a hand over your face, concerned by how distant you look.

“hello? anybody home?” he pokes your forehead teasingly.

“haha, very funny” you roll your eyes.

“seriously, what’s going on? you’ve been… off… lately” he puts a hand on your shoulder.

“just- tired i guess” you stare at his shoes, avoiding his quizzical gaze. he pulls your chin up.

“hey, c’mon, don’t hide from me… you know i know you well enough to know that face is more than ‘tired’” you peer at him hesitantly though your eyelashes. the next words you let out are unexpected, but true nonetheless.

“i’ll tell you when i’m ready” he seems relieved “i promise, i will” Xavier has to hold himself back from pulling you in for a hug after that, he substitutes the urge by pointing at one of the sketches in your hand.

“that one was from what you said yesterday, about the clown makeup” he watches for your reaction, satisfied when you smile down at it.

“it’s perfect, so you like the clown/jester idea?”

“yeah, i can’t say i’m thrilled about any makeup or costumes, but your idea is definitely better than Ajax’s or the rest of the team’s” he pauses “it may even be better than mine”

“shut up”

“yes ma’am” he mutters instinctively. you snort at this, and return your eyes to the paper. the drawing he pointed to was of you, decorated with smudged, edgy looking clown makeup. somehow, he’s still made you look beautiful.

“can i keep this?” you ask him.

“uh- y- yeah of course” you know Xavier’s weak spot is compliments for his art, so it doesn’t surprise you that the request makes him a little flustered.

Xavier’s equally as excited as he is nervous the day of the poe cup. Ajax is afraid of what’ll happen, especially because you and Xavier have a tendency to be aggressive on competition days. you’re anxiously tapping your foot in the tent, waiting for Xavier to help you prepare.

“dude, what is taking him so long!?” you impatiently demand. Ajax and the rest of the team stare at you, afraid to respond. they’re already in their costumes, but you still need to review your strategy as a group and get your makeup and tools ready. you storm out of the tent angrily, now furious once you spot him. he’s out of costume, and once again talking to Wednesday, with his back turned to you.

“so, you’ll meet me after class next week? is that a promise?” he asks her.

“i don’t make promises Xavier, and you should hurry up, you only have 30 minutes before we beat you” Wednesday walks off after this, oblivious to your agitated form.

Xavier turns and realizes you’re behind him. the blood drains from his face.

“tent. now.” is all you say before stomping off. he follows silently, looking like a kicked puppy with his head down. the rest of the team have already started preparing, frantically applying smudged makeup and tinkering with the boat.

“look” xavier starts to say “i’m really sorry, i lost track of time and-“

“sit.” you say pointing to the nearest chair. Xavier listens, deciding that explaining himself isn’t the best option right now. you groan when you realize all of the other chairs are occupied, electing to hover over his tall frame. you soon realize the angle is making it hard to apply the face paint, and now have most of your weight on his lap. normally, you’d be flustered by this, but you’re too angry to care, hastily swiping the brush over his face. Xavier finds himself differing from your disposition, shifting in his seat nervously, bashful that your display of temper is in front of his peers. they are just as scared as he is, turned away from you and Xavier, timidly making sure things are in the right order. you use your fingers to make any final smudges, and Xavier is grateful the makeup covers his blushing.

“get in your suit, you have 10 minutes” he rushes off, not wanting to be in your presence any longer. you speak to the team outside of the tent, still in earshot from Xavier.

“alright. we don’t have time to review our strategy before starting, because someone thought flirting was more important than breaking our team record” you announce to the group “so i can only hope you’ve read it over before this” the crew nods hesitantly, and make their way over to your boat. Xavier jumps in seconds before Weems fires her pistol, and your team starts paddling. you’re in the lead at first, the weapons you made with Ajax doing their job well. as head of the boat, you’re in charge of overseeing the rest of the team and giving them directions. you occasionally toss “distractions” at the other ships.

Xavier sits at the back of the boat, controlling the steering. “switch!” you yell as your boat swerves too far left. they all listen, switching their paddles to the other side of the boat. all except for Xavier, who is too busy watching Wednesday’s boat pass yours. you whistle as loud as you can “focus!” he snaps back into action, paddling twice as hard. you finally make it to the water’s edge, and you jump onto the dock, tying the boat down as quickly as you practiced. Xavier and Ajax jump out next, sprinting for the flag, and the rest of the team stays behind, guarding the boat as others approach and dock theirs.

all is going well until two of your team members hear something in the woods and go to investigate. they decide to do this while your turned around, still tying down the boat, leaving you to fend for yourself. a few minutes pass and you check the time, realizing that your team members’ distraction may not have been so small. you rush over in the direction you think they’ve run off to, and find them dazed on the floor, scathed by one of the sirens. you begrudgingly pull them up and guide them back the boat.

when you return Xavier is glaring at you, flag in hand. “they got distracted while i wasn’t looking” you mutter. he rolls his eyes at your explanation, and you clumsily jump in the boat, untying the knots you made just as quickly as you tied them. the group pushes off and heads for shore.

you’re making good time before Xavier shouts “what’s going on!?” you shoot daggers at him with your eyes before you realize what’s happened, the floor of your boat is filled with water.

“how did you not realize we had a hole?!” you shout at him. Wednesday’s team passes yours and you realize it’s too late… you’ve lost. Xavier slams his oar down, falling off of his seat.

“you’re the one who lost our team!” he growls back. you jump into the murky water, surrendering to your loss. the rest of your team does the same and you and Xavier argue the whole swim back to shore.

“if you hadn’t spent so long talking to Wednesday we could’ve briefed the team on what not to do dumbass!” you continue to berate him once your on land.

“yeah well-“ he starts.

“that’s enough!” Ajax cuts him off “guys, give each other some space” he warns. you both sulk off to your rooms.

after showering, you feel slightly more refreshed and less angry. you sit on your bed wringing out your hair with a towel when you hear knocking on your window. this scares you because your roommate is out, and your not exactly on the lowest floor.

you make your way closer to the sound as it continues “hello?” it’s coming from the last person you’re expecting at the moment. you pry open the window

“Xavier?” you don’t bother helping him as he climbs through, instead you stand dumbstruck. “how’d you even get up here?”

“i” he says between breaths “came here- to apologize”

“why’d you come through the window?”

“because i didn’t want you to get in trouble… if there were dorm checks and stuff” he scratches his head. the gesture is heart warming, though you refuse to admit it out loud.

“y’know i didn’t mean any of the stuff i said today” he starts “and i’m sorry for being late”

“i didn’t either, i was just worked up because i know how much the poe cup matters to you, but i should’ve been more aware that something- someone else matters more”

“yeah, you” you raise an eyebrow “the poe cup matters to you too, and i should’ve paid more attention to that instead of goofing off with Wednesday”

“i don’t think that girl is capable of goofing off”

he smiles at the ground “yeah”

“so you really like her?”

“i don’t know, she… confuses me. feelings in general do”

“yeah, trust me, i know that” you mutter.

“hey” you look up at him “i heard that” you smile at the disingenuous look of disapproval he wears.

“you looking forward to your date with her next week?” the thought of them going out makes you a little nauseous, but as always your priority is to maintain your friendship with Xavier, even if it means showing interest in things that hurt you.

his next words shock you “i canceled it” your cute confused face causes a toothy grin on his.

“after all that?!” you say, referring to the intense argument you had earlier.

“yeah, today made me realize that we’re not actually interested in each other at all” he pauses before shocking you further “i’m actually interested in girls that do know how to ‘goof off’” he airquotes, and takes a step closer to you.

“and” your heart is beating fast now “i prefer girls who are a little competitive, but tolerate me enough to be on my team” you can’t process that this is actually happening.

“i also like girls” he takes another step “who know me well enough to make me feel better about shitty volunteer days” his playful smile turns into a smirk as he realizes the effect he has on you.

“maybe i’m just into people that give me way to many chances” Xavier is so close you can feel his breath on you as he speaks quietly. you resort to watching his lips as he talks. “maybe i just really really really like my best friend”

“that would be kind of weird” you say, more breathlessly than you intended.

“yeah probably” he says after a soft laugh “do you think she’d find it weird that i want to kiss her right now?”

“i think she’d be ok with it” you avoid his affectionate gaze, too shy to meet his eyes.

“just ok?” he says while swiping your chin up at him again.

you sigh and this makes him chuckle “i think she’d really enjoy-“ his lips are on yours before you finish the sentence. they’re soft and you can tell he’s nervous, treating you like you’re made of glass while his face is pressed to yours. you wrap your arms around his neck which urges him to deepen the kiss, wrapping his arms around your waist. you can feel his heart beating quickly against your chest and pull yourself away to take a breath.

“you look really cute in clown makeup by the way” he can’t help but admit to you.

“idiot” you reply, smiling before pulling him in for another kiss.

Why does my first time writing feel like my actual first time? Like idk where to start, what to doooo

As always with writing, start with general (outline, ideas, etc.) then narrow down to specific (the fic itself).

First, start with who and what you want to write. Either it can be a thought that popped up in your head that you really really liked or a picture you saw that instantly gave you an idea of something to write. For example, Aeong I was watching Hyeju on Girls Re:Verse and how she plays a cat there so boom, catgirl Hyeju. Then there's LLLL, a picture of Kim Lip holding her tongue out, boom, blowjob fic.

Second, make an outline or a rough draft of what you want to write, it doesn't have to be an outline of the whole fic, more on this later. For my fics, I generally like to have build-up towards the action itself, so I plan out how I want to do that first. Just general ideas, no need to write out paragraphs or sentences right away.

In Spared, the idea started off as succubus Yves. While the story could have easily been Yves fucking OC right away, to me that's kinda boring, like what's the point of making her a succubus when the story wouldn't be different if she was a succubus or not, so, build-up. Anyway, I was thinking of how would OC meet Yves, while OC could just be someone Yves randomly sets her eyes on, it feels rather generic (nothing wrong with that either, I just don't want to write generic build-ups/cliches, I like to make it a little more interesting). That's when it popped in my head that OC can break Yves out of some sort of prison which makes him a reliable first target.

Great, I have my set-up, now for the main action itself. I thought, Yves is a succubus, I wanna lean in to that. So I looked up how succubi powers work, how different interpretations of succubi acted, and whatnot. The main thing is that they appear in dreams, which immediately gave me the idea of doing parallels between demon Yves in the 'real world' and a pristine seductress in OC's head. Cool, I have a general idea of how I want my story to go, so onto writing.

Third, don't write linearly. What I mean by that is, don't focus on writing the start to finish in a straight line. You can work on the start, you can work on the middle, you can work on the end, and anywhere in between. Then when you're doing writing the "major parts" that's when you bridge them all together.

Fourth, to hell with the previous three things (not really but just sort of). You don't have to force yourself into a narrow spot when writing, just write what you feel like fits the best in the story. Let's say for example, if you thought that a forest was a great setting for your fic and you've started writing a whole chunk of the beginning but then you come up with a better setting to use? Then use it. You don't have to stick to what you have, that's the thing about creative writing, you write whatever. You think this part doesn't fit? Remove it. You think this would be a nice thing to put here? Add it. You think your fic is moving a little too slow? Speed it up. You think things are moving too fast? Slow it down.

Fifth, if you don't know what to write or if you can't write anything, two things, force yourself to write and don't force yourself to write. For the first one, just write whatever it is that's in your head, every idea, every sentence, anything at all, just put it down on your draft and then just remove what doesn't feel write afterwards. Basically, "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks." As for the second, if you really can't write, then just pause for a moment, do something else, do anything else that isn't writing. Then when inspiration or motivation hits you, that's when you start writing again.

OTHER STUFF;

Set in S4/Senior year. Gareth / everyone has been aged up to 18 to make things age appropriate here, jsyk. The upside down / vecna / the monsters and the deaths do not happen / will not happen. Starcourt exists still. So does Benny's diner + a few other places I'll be adding and mentioning (a water tower, a roller rink, a county fair in another town, several other places).

Neither of you really knew what to expect. Things were up in the air, unsettled. Kissing is just kissing in high school, after all. And uncertainty was driving Gareth Emerson utterly insane. It’s driving you insane too, the problem with this is that for days now, neither of you seem willing to be the one to ask the big question.

Granted, things have been… Touchier. More affectionate. And you’re always together, too. It should be a clear cut answer, a done deal. But for him, it’s not. He needs to know, he needs to be absolutely certain this is really happening and it’s as serious as he feels it may be.

It’s front and center of his mind the entire time that he’s practicing with the band out in Jeff’s garage. He’s missing beats, he’s dazed and staring off into space and every now and then he’ll remember how carried away you got the night before when you were kissing out by the water tower and the small bruise sitting on the side of his neck right now as an end result. Or he’ll think about a similar one he left on your throat.

“Jesus, Gareth.” Grant palms his face after about the fifth or sixth time Gareth is just a beat behind in the song they’re practicing for the next show. Eddie sits down the guitar and gazes up at Gareth calmly. “Everything okay?”

“Yeah.”

Jeff is the one who notices the little purple mark and he chuckles, shaking his head. “Distracted, huh?”

Gareth flips off his best friend wordlessly.

“Look, you need to get your fucking head on, buddy. We’ve got a gig tomorrow night. Start talkin.” Eddie coaxes. Gareth lets it all spill out, pacing the garage as he twirls his drumsticks in his hands. “And I mean obviously, something’s happening,” he pulls the neck of his shirt away so that now, Grant and Eddie catch sight of the little mark. Eddie chuckles and shakes his head. “Why’s anybody need t’ say anything, though?”

“Because, man.. I don’t wanna assume one thing and then school starts next week and I find out “Oh, hey, this was just something fun to do for the summer because I was bored.” or whatever.” Gareth rubs the bridge of his nose as he stops in the middle of his pacing.

“She’s babysitting your sisters again tonight, right?” Grant asks, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

“Yeah.”

“So ask her, idiot. Stop getting distracted and do it already.” Jeff is calm when he says it. He’s trying not to laugh but it’s so funny, the whole situation is really, that he snickers about it just a little and Gareth glares.

“Yeah, if it helps, man… Kinda heard her talking to Max about it the other day. She wants to say something too, she just chickens out.” Eddie shrugs as he says it. Gareth nods, biting the edge of his thumb. “Yeah, I try to say something, y’know? Like.. I try to ask her but the words keep getting stuck.”

“One of you needs to say something.”

“Look, let’s call practice today. You, go home. Stop dancing around this, damn it. We’ve got a gig. And we’ve got that first Battle of the Bands coming up when the fair comes through and I am not letting those shitbirds from Riverton with their shitty hair metal cover prettyboy bullshit beat us again this year. Do something, for the love of fuck.” Eddie places his hands on Gareth’s arms, a firm look in his eyes as he makes the demand.

“Okay, alright.”

Gareth leaves Jeff’s house, using the entire time he’s driving back to his own place to figure out exactly how to bring it up.

By the time he’s parking behind your red Trans Am in his parents driveway, he’s no closer to figuring out how to go about doing this than he was when he left Jeff’s place.

– ( inside the house )

You’re on pins and needles. Max and Emma’s earlier advice is still bouncing around in your head and you’ve halfway convinced yourself that one of you has to say something, one of you has to be the one to bring it up.

You’ve just gotten his sisters bedded down for the night when you hear him come in the front door downstairs. You pause at the top of the landing and you take several deep breaths. One of you has to do this. If you don’t find out soon, it’s going to drive you insane. “I can do this. It’s not a big deal.” and you mumble this all the way down the stairs, distracted. You bump against him because he’s standing in the middle of the bottom stair and you look up, a heat creeping into your cheeks as you smile. “I thought you’d be at Jeff’s until later. Battle of the Bands, right?”

His hands skim up and down your sides and linger at your hips for a few seconds and you’re stepping closer, that space between your bodies is getting smaller and smaller by the second. His hand settles on your jaw gently and he’s tugging your gaze upward. Blue eyes dance when they catch on the purpled mark on your throat. You lick your lips and he melts into you, nose in your hair. “They didn’t give you hell, right? They were bouncing off the walls before I left.”

“Nope. They were little angels, I don’t see where you keep getting this hidden demon logic, ba-” you pause because you know what you were about to say. And looking up at him, you know he probably has a good idea what you were about to say because he takes a deep breath and his hand digs against your waist, fingers tracing designs against your bare skin hidden beneath his flannel. “What were you going to say just now, hm?” he questions. You’re looking at his chest, frantically hoping to hell a hole will open up in the floor or something, worried you’ve probably just crossed a huge line considering while you both seem to enjoy all the touching and the kissing and the long talks that have happened lately, nothing’s actually… official.

You mumble it out against the front of his shirt and he can’t quite understand you because his shirt muffles your voice, so he reaches down and grabs your jaw again. “C’mon, say it.” he coaxes.

“Baby, I… I almost called you baby.” you’re hot all over. Blue eyes gleam, darting from your eyes down to your lips. He’s got a soft and dopey grin, his thumb rolls over you bottom lip, leaves it quivering. You melt against him just a little, raising your arms to wrap around his neck. Laughing at yourself quietly. “Sorry, I.. I just didn’t stop before it came out?”

“No, it’s fine. Completely fine… baby.” he chuckles quietly, guiding your jaw so that you’re looking at him when he says it.

And one of you has to say something, one of you has to do something. You take a shaky breath and you’re preparing yourself to just do it, go for it already. “W-what are we doing? I mean.. Uh.. Shit..” you rub the bridge of your nose, laughing at yourself because once again, you’re a rambling mess, “What is this?”

“What do you want it to be, hm?” he asks the question, quick to grip your jaw and keep you looking at him. Waiting. His breath hung in his throat because it’s dramatic, yes, but somehow it just feels like everything is riding on this one answer. It’s not that serious and he knows it, yet somehow, he’s worked up, worried, so fucking anxious because he wants to believe there’s something between you but he’s not brave enough to hope.

“Well, I uh..” you’re squirming a little. Emotional shit has always been Emma’s forte. Chrissy’s, even. Not yours. Blame it on being raised by a single father who taught you more about how to take care of yourself and pick locks or play pool and darts, the man who taught you how to drive a stick shift like you stole it instead of teaching you how to handle certain delicate situations. The man nearly lost his shit entirely when you started going through PMS at 12. So you know how to do a lot of things… Handling emotionally charged conversations is not one of them.

But you’re not stupid. You know that not knowing has been driving you crazy and the sooner this is out there and it’s been said, the better off you are. This way if this is just an end of summer fling, at least you know, right?

“C’mon, little chaos demon.” he coaxes patiently. Though the longer you take to say anything, the more he’s doubting, the more time he has to convince himself that maybe this is just a fling. You take a deep breath. “I wanna be your girl, okay?” and the fact that you’re grumbling and annoyed with yourself because it took so much to say something so simple has him chuckling quietly because this is what leads him to realize that you really are kind of skittish talking about things like this sometimes. It makes sense.

But more than anything, he’s soaring, he’s on cloud nine, no, he’s on the moon right now and your answer means more to him than you realize. When he melts into you and his hands are all over you as he gives you a kiss so gentle and deep that you’re weak in the knees by the time it’s over and clinging to him because you were almost out of oxygen, “You are, okay? All mine.” he mumbles as he pulls away after nipping at your bottom lip.

You’re giving him that grin again. Then you’re grabbing his hand, dragging him towards the kitchen. “Susan uh.. She taught me how to make somethin else. You’re hungry, right?” you’re rambling and it’s the cutest damn thing. He chuckles, hugging against you from behind as you explain how fucking complicated it was at first to process how Susan made the shepherds pie she taught you how to make and he laughs when you tell him about his sisters just eating the mashed potatoes with their little hands. He nuzzles his nose into your neck and his lips graze your skin, your words trail off because he’s good at flustering you and you can feel him smirk against your skin because he knows he’s good at flustering you.

Finally, he reaches up over you to grab two plates and he nods to the chair at the table. “Go sit down, babe. I got it, ‘kay?”

“ ‘Kay.” you slink over to the chair and sit down in it and you’re laughing, smiling as he’s telling you about Eddie going on a ten minute tangent about the band in Riverton they’re going up against at Battle of the Bands.

“They play hair metal, so naturally, Eddie hates ‘em.” Gareth takes a bite, laughing. “And you know how he is about winning and losing. They’ve beaten us at Battle for two years? Maybe three. Anyway, yeah. He’s been exploding all week about it since we signed up to do it when the fair comes around again.”

“Oooh..” you laugh, taking a bite when he sits the plate he’s made for you down in front of you. “So the coach sent this stupid pledge we all have to sign in the mail today. I’m not signing the damn thing yet. I mean I probably will eventually, I just think it’s fucking stupid, y’know?” you’re ranting, rolling your eyes. “And of course, nearly everybody else has signed the damn thing.”

“What’s it say?” Gareth asks.

You dig around in your jeans pocket, taking it out to hand it across the table to him. When he starts to mock the basketball coach, you nearly double over laughing, your laughter getting worse the more he reads the pledge in that tone. He finishes reading and he sits it down. “It’s bullshit, y’know that right, baby? What’s Emma gonna do?”

“She doesn’t know either. She showed Gretchen, her mom and Gretchen pitched a fit and told her it was bullshit and if she signs it then everything she’s taught her as a kid means nothin. My dad told me do whatever? I’m gonna hold off.” you take a bite.

“What are they gonna do if you don’t sign it anyway?”

You shrug at his question. “Don’t know, don’t really care either. I’m literally a breath away from quitting, you know that. I told you that when we were up at the tower.”

“Yeah.” Gareth nods. “If you hate it, just quit.”

You nod. “I’m only hanging on right now for Em and Chris. I promised them I would when we made it together in 9th grade?”

“Yeah well.. You know it’s not gonna matter to me, right? I just want you to do whatever makes you happier.” he’s grabbed your hand over the table and you smile, nodding. “I know.” you lean across to brush your lips against his cheek. “You’re a sweetheart.”

He’s blushing just a little but he shrugs. “You’re my girl, I’m gonna take your side. Unless you’re about to do something stupid, then I’m gonna tell you.”

“Ha ha.” you flip him off, sticking out your tongue.

📰 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄: 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒!

literally me rn 👆🏻

anyways, hello my loves! i’m here to give you some updates on where this blog stands and is (hopefully!) going 🤭

first, what the fuck happened? 🫣

it’s been pretty much exactly a year since i dipped from this account (again). i’m sorry about that. i got a little overwhelmed and frankly just didn’t feel motivated or excited to write for a long time. i tried writing a few things (and got a little far tbh) but i just wasn’t satisfied with any of it. i even had a terrible moment or two where i got very close to deleting this account entirely but i decided against it as i’m really proud of some of the things i put out, and i would’ve been really sad to see it go. i also love all of you very much and appreciate everything you guys have done for or said to me, and i would’ve felt really guilty taking this blog away from you guys. so i promise i won’t be doing that any time soon!

second, first love 🥰

i’m sure most of you have seen my teaser for first love part 5 by now (which, yes, will unfortunately be the last part for the series 😓) but!! i have like 1 or 2 small things i plan on posting before hand to keep you guys fed since it won’t be posted for another month or so. i’ve been working on it as much as i can for the past couple months, but i do work basically every day so i can only write so much 🫤 but yeah, that’s how first love is! i’ll explain some more on it when i can!!

third, asks/messages 💬

i’ve gotten so many sweet messages since i went MIA (a little under 40 😭). i’m sorry to keep all of you waiting, but i promise i’ll try to answer them soon! i did get some negative comments about my absence and such, but i won’t be answering any of those publicly. i don’t want to feed into them. i understand i’ve done this multiple times & it’s annoying, and i apologize for that. writing is a big passion of mine (as is interacting with all of you!) but it can get draining running this account sometimes. i’m trying my best, and i appreciate your patience with me. i’m definitely undeserving of it.

fourth, also! ☝🏻

i have decided that from now on i will not be taking requests. as much as i love writing specific stuff that you guys want, it does give me a little anxiety. so i will only be taking very limited requests for drabble games and stuff like that in the future. i hope you guys understand 🫶🏻

i also decided to delete my twitter account (well, it kind of got hacked? i think? idk i had trouble with it and basically can’t get back in and don’t want to create a whole new one) so i wont be answering asks with twitter links anymore for this reason.

fifth, comebacks?! 🤩

i’ve recently tried to catch up on some of the comebacks i missed. txt’s temptation ep, monsta x’s reason ep, enhypen’s dark blood ep, and skz’s 5 star album have been in my rotation lately and i love them!! (duh) so if any of you want to stop by my inbox and fangirl over them with me i’d absolutely love that 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

lastly, a thank you 💌

thanks to all of you that continued to follow me, leave likes/reblogs/comments, and message me while i was gone. you guys truly don’t understand how much your support for me means. like i said, i was close to deleting this account all together, but i decided against it, and it was largely because of you. i decided to keep writing because of you. re-reading all of the precious comments you’ve left me on my older work motivated me and inspired me to continue writing first love which sparked my joy again. so, thank you. i also hope some of you read this and it encourages you to leave love for other writers like myself. you could be the one that changes someone’s entire outlook on their account and keep them going. at the very least, you’ll make their day 💕

also, thank you for 4,000 followers??? um what the fuck??? i’ve never had so many people supporting me, i’m actually losing my marbles rn please help me find them??? (that was such a lame joke, okay i’m going to bed soon 😭🥱 ily bye)

i love you. i love you. i love you. more content is coming soon. promise. 😚💗

I just wanted to come by and say I absolutely loveee your writing, especially the relationships between the characters💕 Now, idk if it's a spoiler, feel free to not respond, but i loved Charles and Pierre's friendship and now I'm really surprised how much I ship Pierre and Yuki and how wholesome Charles and Yuki's interactions are. I was wondering if you have given any thoughts abt P/Y future and maybe how they/Charles might react to them being pregnant/having a baby?

(2) Also, not to be annoying lol, but do the pack get to know at some point abt Charles and Max's baby? 👀👀👀👀 they're all such a mess of emotions, I imagine how would that go

Hi! Thanks so much, that's so sweet <3 I put it under a read more because it's really long, sorry!!

First off so glad you like the vibes because I knew the pack dynamic was a little unusual, but I've kind of had fun writing it! Charles and Pierre are what would traditionally be the 'pack leaders' except they're romantically not compatible, and while they both are in relationships with other people those other people aren't really in the pack per se--Yuki is friends with everyone but he didn't grow up with them, so while he ends up being close with them over the years he still has another pack back home. But he and Charles are still bros and they have a good influence on each other since Charles helps Yuki feel more included, Yuki helps Charles feel less isolated about his secondary gender, and they can both bitch about Pierre together <33

I haven't thought about Yuki and Pierre having kids a lot to be honest but I know irl they both want them, so they'd probably have them somewhere down the line! In my head Yuki is really casual about everything even when he's freaking out about it (he asked Pierre to be his mate over breakfast while on his phone and didn't so much ask him as just say "I think we should be mates" and then had the audacity to look startled when Pierre choked on his smoothie), so I think one day after they've both retired from racing he would tell him he thinks it's time for them to have kids and he's ready to come off birth control. To which Pierre again chokes on his smoothie.

Max and Charles have a good number of brain cells between them but all of them are devoted to motor racing, which is not the case with Yuki and Pierre whatsoever, so everything they do is planned. Pierre is much more insane about it. Yuki has finally opened his restaurant in his retirement, and he's happy to wait out the nine months sitting at the bar eating sorbet and sorting through bills and invoices. Pierre is the one who listens to about thirty parenting podcasts while doing core workouts at the gym every day so that he can easily lift his small child when the time comes. It's excessive. He's squatting 190. A baby weighs like...3 kilos. Every time someone asks him he gives this speech about mental and physical strength. His brothers are a little worried about him.

As for Charles, he's as laissez faire about the whole thing as Yuki is, which Pierre finds extremely annoying. Small spoiler, but at this point Charles is still racing, as is Max, and they're both seasoned parents. They've got two already with a vague idea to have a third once they retire for good, so unfortunately for Pierre and Yuki this means they're given babysitting duty much more often because "it's good practice" and "it's not like you're still working" and "now you can finally put all those parenting podcasts to good use" etc etc. The Verstappen/Leclerc children are 5 and 7, are extremely loud and have the added ability to throw tantrums in four languages at once. Yuki teaches them lots of Japanese swear words so they can add a fifth. They're very adoring of the baby when it's finally born, which Pierre claims is a good sign they're not actually psychologically damaged and tries to give Charles a lecture about the importance of a diverse age range in early childhood friendships immediately after the 2031 Vietnamese Grand Prix podium, when Charles is too exhausted to escape. Charles retains exactly none of that information.

(Pierre ends up calling Max in a panic late at night a lot, because Max is the only one who really sees his side of things. Max wasn't terrified of fatherhood until the instant an exhausted Charles placed their equally exhausted newborn into his arms, and then it slammed into him like brick to the face. He had to get over it fast. He was the stay at home parent and things weren't easy that year, so he had to learn very very quickly how to be a father--the kind of father he wants to be, anyway. He's still trying and there are no real guidebooks for these things, but their kids seem to be alright so he can't be fucking up too badly. Sometimes that's all Pierre needs to hear.)

As for your second question, I can't give you specifics but they'll all learn about it before the fic is over!! It'll happen very soon and I promise they will be suitably messy about it. Thanks so much for the asks, these were so fun to answer! <3

Hi! How are you?

First, thank you for create tbaf and hb, I really love the au's you create and how you tell stories, idk you are amazing. I just needed to tell you :D

Now, I'm sorry if this ruins the 'no spoilers' but can you say if there is a happy ending for homeward bound series or is there not one planned yet?

Have a nice day, thanks!

hello!! i’m pretty good, actually! i hope you’re doing good, as well!!

no one has to thank me for tbaf and hb, these two projects have been very fun to write and have helped me a lot in terms of developing my writing styles and exploring different approaches to writing in general, and i genuinely LOVE writing them (even if i sometimes go a Very Long Time between updating them lmao) so please no need to thank me!! thank YOU for reading them !! ❤️❤️❤️

honestly i’m not against giving spoilers, i’m more just worried about posting them and anyone who may have wanted to avoid them getting upset? it happened a few times back when i wrote reddie fics (the reason i stopped writing for the it fandom is because i would get a lot of messages and asks that were in general not nice and very demanding about what i write and how often i post and it just took all the fun out of it) so i’m just like… overly cautious probably lmao

but!! if anyone WANTS vague spoilers, there are some that i don’t want to share at all because i’m very excited to see peoples reactions to them (there are things i haven’t even told oddy, who i have messaged A Lot about hb and have told the most about my plans for it) but i’m down for some spoilers/hints !!

here’s my compromise i guess for anyone who WANTS to see these hints and mild/vague spoilers and stuff: i’m down to post them, but i’m gonna put them under a read more tab and maybe i’ll start a hb spoiler tag?

homeward bound fic is my tag for the series (i also follow the tag in case anyone else ever wants to post about it pfkfkf) but i’ll tag this homeward bound fic spoilers and any posts in the future that drops hints and shit will be tagged the same !!

anyway, your question: will hb have a happy ending? look under the cut if you’d like to see my answer!!

okay, so here’s some transparency about the series: i don’t have the whole thing planned out.

i have a lot of ideas and i have certain things decided and vague ideas about the other parts, but past the last three chapters of the first fic, i don’t have like proper outlines or anything just yet. i didn’t even have a plan for the first fic when i posted the first like two or three chapters—i was coming up with it as i wrote it and it wasn’t until i was a couple chapters in that i started planning ahead because it was at that point that i realized how massive i wanted the fic to be and it was around that time that i started thinking about making it a series instead of a stand alone fic.

i’m still trying to decide who the antagonists of the second fic are gonna be (i know one, but i’m debating adding more and am ironing out subplots and such)

basically: i don’t know how the series is going to end yet. i’m planning on having the four main fics that will basically be the main story, and then having additional one shots/short fics that kind of fill in gaps and provide moments after college, as the four fics are supposed to encompass one of their school years. this might change, i might make it three fics or add a fifth one or something, but as of now that’s my plan.

while i don’t have the actual ending figured out, i can say with certainty that i want it to be a good ending. maybe not necessarily a super happy one, but it’s not going to end in tragedy. harley and peter are going to have a future together. the spidey squad is going to remain a found family and support system for each other. (also the spidey squad is going to consist of more than the core four we currently have, but i’m not going to spoil that part. it’ll start to be clear who else will be in it group as the series continues. matter of fact, the last chap of the first fic starts that process!)

the one shots that i plan to write based after the end of the main fics will have a lot of snapshots of moments as they all grow up — ups and downs, highs and lows, relationships taking next steps and having fights and making up and everything in between.

this answer is kind of long and rambly, sorry, let me try to summarize my answer in a few sentences:

while the ending of homeward bound has not been officially decided, it is not going to be a bad ending. it’s not going to end in sadness or tragedy. that being said, it might not be a super upbeat ending either, because life will always have its struggles, but the ending will be hopeful and happy in whatever way is most fitting of the series once it ends.

hopefully that answers your question well enough? idk i don’t wanna make it sound like it doesn’t have a happy ending at all, because i definitely want the best for these characters and their futures, but homeward bound has, at its core, been the embodiment of being a realist—not an optimist, not a pessimist, but a realist. the reason i started writing the first fic was because in the emotional turmoil following nwh, i wanted to try and take a realistic approach towards what peter’s story could be following the spell and may’s death and the loss of everything that his life used to be. and also wanted to explore how harry and gwen could be introduced and how harley could be brought into the loop. and of course as a parkner shipper how to make it into parkner as well lol.

life is hard. these characters have been through a lot (and will go through a lot more as the series progresses) but they are strong and they are full of love for each other and that will get them through it.

thank you for the ask!!! genuinely i LOVE answering questions about my fics and having a chance to ramble about them so please feel free to send more!!

Ah Jo, I just read the post about Freefall (⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠)

You deserve kudos and all the love for speaking about what you went through this year. I wouldn't be able to do this and I'm glad TxT are helping you a lot rn (⁠o⁠´⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠)⁠っ

And overall, I just agree about everything you said. Lore aside, it's clear that they had fun while recording and working on the album. They found the genres where they're currently more comfortable and they're going to use them.

And also OOOOOH you liked Growing Pain too?! Yeeeees 😭

My rock/metal fan inside me screamed, cried and went "YES, THAT'S MY BOYS. THEY DID IT FOR MEEEEEESEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

And then I claimed the song as my fave, as my precious thing that no one should talk badly about or I'll go full rage mode (for legal reasons, this last part is a joke. Taste is subjective, yadda yadda).

Even tho I confess that a little tear came from my face after listening to the song for the, like, fifth time. I thought "Damn, Chester would have loved covering it (you know, Chester Bennington from Linkin Park)...And now I'm here, being a little emotional and teary about it 🥲😭

And I'm also projecting what would ever happen if TxT will ever go full rap/nu metal one day. I don't think it can happen because they need to find a vocal coach for teaching them how to growl or scream without losing their vocal chords five minutes later and also because they seem to not be into metal in general 🤣

Unless they'll do a collab with my girls Babymetal...ACH I shouldn't think about it or I'll project too much. But maybe a Japanese single...AAAAAAAAAAAAAH 😭

Better if they stick in the normal rock.

Also, idk you but I highly, HIGHLY, prefer Blue Spring live instead of the studio version 🥲

It seems the studio version is missing something 🤨🤔

Which is a bummer, the song is good 🥲

Teresaa thank you so much for your words 🥺🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 i'm also really glad i have txt to give me joy, support and relief 🥲 as always i don't want to rely on it too much because it puts pressure on artists that are human too and can't solve all of our problems, but music itself keeps being there for me and i'm always going to rely on that ❤

With lore involved it can become even more tricky for groups to express themselves through the music, so i'm really glad txt are given the opportunity to do that anyway!! (it certainly helps that the lore itself was built to fit the experiences of young people, but you know, as taehyun said on his last live, gbgb for example felt more forced for him because he wasn't really feeling what they were supposed to portray) for as much as i'm a lore enthusiast, if leaving it behind meant having more creative freedom for a group i'd support it 100% *coff coff ateez coff coff*

i'm also glad the company keeps overall acknowledging and respecting that txt shine and are more comfortable with certain genres yup yup!

i'm usually not an hard rock and metal enthusiast, it depends on the song, and Growing Pains is one of those for me 🥰 you claiming and defending it is like me with Dreamer sksgskhsks

... 🥺🫂 i'm not fan of Linkin Park, more of a casual listener, but i also thought about them when i heard it... also and me and my brother yesterday night were listening to some music together and one of their songs came up and i was like "full circle!"

i love how one way or another txt found a way to make us all shed at least a few tears :")

the vocal coach part made me crackle 😭😭😭 anyway bestie, delulu is the solulu 🤝 maybe they'll never go full metal but i hope they give us more hard rock and metal inspired in the future yes 🙏 let's manifest 🕯

so i'm not the only one part 2!! i feel the same way 🤝 i also prefer Blue Spring live version! its rawness just perfectly delivers the feelings, the studio version doesn't sound as good for some reason, so i'm keeping my dear blue spring live concert ver mp3 file in my playlist 👍
