fav trope in media rn is when two homoerotic best friends have another mutual friend who they tend to use to make themselves look straight and deny feelings for the other person all the while their relationship crumbles to almost nothing because they either drifted apart or one of them died or both

halloween with kuroo, iwa, asahi and suga
@mer92​ asked “Hiiii I've just started to follow you! Would it be possible to request HC for Kuroo, Iwa, Asahi and Suga on a Halloween date with their S/O? like what kind of costumes will they wear if they will be wearing matching costumes... Or if they would go to Halloween parties or just stay home? Thank you if you decide to write it down! 😊”
Hi, lovely! Thank you for following and requesting<3 it was very fun writing this! this is less plot-filled than my other hcs, i hope that’s ok with you
Tumblr media
kuroo tetsurou
Kuroo likes Halloween
He’s not super hyped up about it, but he loves playing scary pranks on his friends and then using Halloween as an excuse :)
He tells Lev and Inuoka that the boy’s toilet on the 2nd floor is haunted and do they believe him?? Absolutely, yes. 
He doesn’t mind going on spooky dates, either!
In fact, he’ll drag you to watch a horror film or stay up all night exchanging scary stories
He would also probably take you and the team “ghost hunting” around the school after volleyball practice when it’s dark and no one’s around
Nerd boy with his nerd costumes
He doesn’t want to spend too much effort or money in a costume he’s only going to wear once this year, but he doesn’t want a lame costume, either
He’d love to get matching costumes with you!!
But all his suggestions will be either memey or nerdy costumes
The firsts that come to mind are the ‘woman screaming at cat’ (he’ll be the cat) or he’ll get you both matching t-shirts with the elements copper (Cu) and tellurium (Te) printed on them “so when we stand next to each other, everyone can see how CuTe we are”
He is also not opposed to character costumes like Rick and Morty or Hogwarts wizards/witches
Kuroo will go to a party with you and slip away for a while the second you both get there with no explanation and then very unsuspiciously hang around you all night
Later you find out he has signed you both up for the costume contest
The both of you are definitely not the best dressed ((read below: suga and his s/o)) but strut on the stage like it’s a fashion show
Or if you refuse to go up and participate because you were involuntarily signed up, Kuroo will still go up alone, pick up a microphone with a deadpan face and say “this is supposed to be a matching costume but there were some technical difficulties” you brought this on yourself, kuroo
Haunted houses and horror films are definitely his favourite things about Halloween!
I feel like Kuroo isn’t afraid of the ghosts and stuff, but he doesn’t handle being jumpscared well
When he gets shocked while in a haunted house or during a movie, he’ll yelp out a bunch of swears lmao
But he loves the temporary adrenaline rush and 10/10 will do it again
If you tease him and call him a scaredy cat, he’ll pout
And you can expect him trying to sneak up on you and scare you the next day
iwaizumi hajime
Iwa doesn’t care much for Halloween
He gets a little annoyed at all the Halloween-themed products that stores come out with because he thinks it’s just a marketing scheme to sell some overpriced shit (it is)
But if you want to go try out pumpkin desserts or visit a haunted house, he’ll indulge you just because he loves spending time with you no matter what you two end up doing
He’s usually not one to dress up for Halloween
The most he’s done is put on a t-shirt with a superhero logo on it 🙄
Oikawa has tried multiple years to get him in “matching best friend costumes” but Iwa has never once agreed
But if you pout a little a few weeks before Halloween, bribe him with some kisses, catch him in a good mood, he’ll say yes (make sure to say no takebacks)
Deciding on a costume consists of you giving suggestions and Iwa saying yes or no to them
He doesn’t want to do something very costume-y, he prefers to wear an outfit that can pass as a regular outfit but it’s based on a character from a movie or series
E.g. Kim and Ron from Kim Possible, Ash/Misty and Brock from Pokemon (Iwa would be perfect as Brock??? he’s already got the hair down fdkjs), Sandy and Danny from Grease (show off his arms yes)
Iwaizumi will go to a Halloween party because all his friends are going lol
Oikawa will be devastated when he sees Iwa wearing matching costumes with you and this is partly why he agreed to do it with you
He’ll keep you by his side or follow you around for most of the party because “the costume won’t make sense if he’s standing alone” or whatever sir just say you’re too shy to do it alone
If you want to stay home, he’s fine with it too
Whether you want to have a movie marathon, bake something, carve pumpkins, anything really, he’ll do it with you
Lowkey wants to watch scary films so he can “protect you” if you get scared
Like if you’re squeezing his arm during a scary scene he’ll be like “it’s not that scary, you wimp” but also he’s pulling you closer and putting his arm around you and his heart is fluttering-
so in conclusion: iwa is a simp for you
Bonus: one time you came over to his house and his mom showed you a picture of 6-year-old Iwaizumi dressed up as godzilla for Halloween💖
azumane asahi
Halloween isn't his favourite holiday for um.. personal reasons
Once October comes around, Asahi is already being tormented by some of his friends (it’s suga) scaring him
He doesn’t despise everything about Halloween, though - in fact, there are some things he really loves about Halloween
Like going to a pumpkin festival, baking sweet treats together, enjoying a walk in the park with the pretty autumn scenery, or choosing and DIY-ing costumes
Asahi loves the costume planning with you!!
The both of you will take days or even weeks in advance finding the perfect costume and figuring out how to make them
He definitely prefers the cute costumes over gory costumes
Some of the costume ideas are Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, Cheshire Cat/Alice and the Mad Hatter/White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, or characters from the Wizard of Oz
i don’t know why all of these are from children’s fantasy stories im sorry-
You and Asahi will take turns going to each other’s houses after school or on weekends and working on your costumes together (It’s his favourite part (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ))
If he goes to a Halloween party, it’ll probably be a small gathering, such as a potluck with the Karasuno volleyball team
Everyone will be in awe of how cute you two look!!
If the team decides to switch off the lights and leave a flashlight on, gather around and tell spooky stories, he’ll want you next to him and you two will be holding onto each other
the first and second years are so jealous of their senpai and his cute s/o
Haunted houses are a no-no, sorry
Asahi doesn’t mind staying in either!
If you have a movie marathon, you guys binge Harry Potter or Studio Ghibli movies (they have magic so they’re Halloween movies right?)
Though if you’re a horror movie fanatic, he’ll try to watch a scary film with you
He will also have a lot of snacks! And the best hot chocolate you will ever have
I can also imagine Asahi doing your nails? And maybe he’ll let you do his nails too
You two make cute designs of little ghosts and pumpkins but don’t let each other see until it’s finished so it’s a surprise
You share lots of cuddles and kisses afterwards, and Asahi can’t wait to spend another sweet Halloween with you🥺🥰
Bonus: Kageyama showed up in his volleyball uniform and said his costume is a volleyball player :)?
sugawara koushi
Suga loves Halloween!!
It’s an excuse to have fun, cute dates under the guise of “keeping up the tradition”
Even before Halloween, he’ll take you on cafe dates to a different place each week to try out the pumpkin specials
You two will make jack-o-lanterns and then compare to see who did a better job, which could potentially end up in a tickle fight
This boy is going all out with the costumes!!
Maybe it’s the mom instincts, but he’s not settling on some cheap online/store-bought costume and he’ll DIY for both his s/o and himself
It’ll be an iconic couple and something very chic
Like you know Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka‘s family halloween costumes? That’s the vibes you two have
Examples of your costumes include: Morticia & Gomez from The Addams Family, Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask (plss)
You help each other put on each other’s costumes and make-up <333
Both of you will go to a halloween party, even if it’s just a few close friends gathering, and you two are gonna be the IT couple
your outfits and makeup will be on point all through the night and everyone will be so jealous💖
He’d probably take you trick or treating to a few houses for fun tbh HAHA
Your neighbours open up their front door to see.. Two grown ass children?? With costumes looking like they were professionally made??? Grinning and holding out their trick or treat bags?????
They’ll be so confused they end up giving you guys candy anyway
Suga is also a horror fanatic!
If you let him, he’ll drag you to a haunted house attraction
He’s the type to laugh at the scares :)
But he’ll hold your hand and let you cling to his arm if you’re scared, trying to reassure you
He’ll also arrange a horror movie marathon + sleepover!
After you get back, clean up and change into your comfiest pyjamas, Suga has already set up the living room
The couch is stacked with pillows and blankets, some of the lights are switched off, there’s a large bowl of popcorn and your trick-or-treat loot on the table and the movies are already queued on the TV 
If you’re not a big fan of horror movies, he’ll opt for less scary but still Halloween-themed movies like Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas or Coraline (coraline’s kinda creepy but so good), or the “horror/thriller” movies that are just bad so you both can laugh at them
You and Suga snuggle under the blankets with pillows all around, munching on your snacks and watching the movies until you both fall asleep together
Tumblr media
thank you for reading! hope you enjoyed~

Oooh, can you do either 23 or 29 for the soulmate AU asks? Any pairing you want.
This is a difficult choice, because this are both great topics that I would really like to explore upon. I have been thinking about number 29 lately, so I'll go with that!
29. The one where your soulmate's ghost haunts you when they die.
------------
- The concept of your soulmate's ghost haunting their other half is a highly debated topic. As some truly believe in it, while others are skeptical and regard it as a myth. Generally, everyone hopes to not be haunted by the one they were supposed to be with, who would want that even?
- All of the original founding members of BF5 (Barring Sage) all die a year before the events of the first season in various different ways. Vert dies in a car race, Agura dies in an animal related incident, Zoom dies during his time running from the Order, Stanford dies from poisoning, and Sherman & Spinner die from electrocution.
- Unfortunately, they're one of the ghosts that gain amnesia upon death, unknowing of their previous life and why they are like this now. Too bad all they have company is this chamber that holds an red being inside.
- The Red Sentients are still conscious within their frozen state, and for some reason start seeing a floating figure near their chambers.
- Once they are released, the Red Sentients are initially confused and slightly hostile to the vapor like beings that followed a distance away but would disappear afterwards. They merely thought it was a malfunction within their systems and tried to fix it. However, the intruders still did not disappear.
- BF5 still don't have their memories and are following RS5 due to being drawn to them for some reason.
- Having enough of this mystery, RS5 decides to confront these beings by themselves, as they can only see one (or two in Krylox's case) of them. However, the confrontation really didn't end well enough for both parties, eventually escalating to the Reds to try and ignore BF5's existence, hoping that they would just end up leaving, but they didn't.
- Eventually, they do end up communicating more due to curiousity and do eventually bond to the point that RS5 does agree to try and figure out what BF5 are and why are they stuck in this situation.
- Meanwhile, Jack Wheeler is the one who finds Sage (He doesn't have the tracking device in this AU), and is pretty excited to come back to Earth for his family...Until he receives the news that is.
Bonus: (Wanted to add Acceleracers to the mix)
- BF5! Jack and Acceleracers! Jack are either siblings or twins that were close to one another to the point that they sometimes visited each other when they had the chance. BF5! Vert and Acceleracers! Vert grew up to the point of being like brothers.
- Unfortunately, when his brother suddenly disappeared and his wife's deteriorating mental health, Acceleracers! Jack did try to take in his nephew, but was too late and BF5! Vert got picked up by his mother's brother instead. Acceleracers! Jack and Vert didn't get to see him again until they were notified of his death.
- Tezla is getting haunted by Gelorum's Ghost.
- Tork is unsure whether or not if he's being haunted by Tone's Ghost, which he really hope he isn't.

UshiIwa Fic Recs
(that nobody asked for)
Hello! It’s my distinct pleasure to welcome you all to UshiIwa hell! I’ve been malingering here for years, but with new developments in canon, it looks like I am no longer stuck on Gilligan’s Island (me plus the six other sad bastards i’m stranded with). 
As a long time sufferer of this ship, I would like to introduce you to some of my favorite UshiIwa stories, including a few of my own bc tag smol. :’)
Rating: G/T
I Lose Control by voices_in_my_head Tags: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, OMC (Coach) Summary: "He looks to the bench, where Iwaizumi’s eyes dance from player to player." Words: 1,538 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: this is an interesting study of how Ushijima would deal with an injury at a crucial moment when everyone is counting on him, plus a dose of priority.
Cordially Uninvited by Karasuno Volleygays (that’s me) Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Possible Current Manga Spoilers, Established Relationship, Paparazzi Summary: Paparazzi haunting notable people has always been a problem, but Hajime and Wakatoshi opt to clear the air on their own terms. Words: 1,279 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: I thought it would be interesting to see how Ushijima would deal with celebrity and subsequently strangers poking their noses in his personal business.
Three Doors Down by Karasuno Volleygays Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Fluff, More Fluff, pretty bara men bonding over dogs Summary: When Ushijima inherited a property that had seen better days, he found himself spending a lot of time and effort in a new part of town restoring the house to its former glory. However, he didn't expect a litter of puppies in a yard a few houses over to revive his spirit, as well.
He certainly didn't anticipate their owner stirring something to life within him, either, but that was a development he didn't need much coaxing to get used to. Words: 13,145 Chapters: 2/2 My notes: I have no excuses for how fluffy this is.
you're good, too quickly admitted by pyrality Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Coffeeshop AU, College AU, Fluff, Getting Together, Awkward Flirting Summary: Iwaizumi sits back in the chair, "Oikawa thinks I could do better."
Ushijima swallows, eyes still on his laptop screen, "And what do you think?"
"I think I'd like to go out to lunch with you sometime."
He looks up at the other boy, feeling warm at the sight of Iwaizumi's crooked, barely there smile, a challenging twinkle in his eye.
"Oh," Ushijima manages before he recomposes himself, "I'd like that.” Words: 2,731 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: UshiIwa dating to spite Oikawa is too good to turn down.
Alight by Karasuno Volleygays Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Time Skips, Rivals to Lovers Summary: Iwaizumi Hajime can't believe his soulmate is the guy who just wiped the floor with his team, but there is no denying the fact that he is irrevocably linked to Ushijima Wakatoshi. Words: 4,504 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: If you’re interested in them getting to know each other through their failures and vulnerable moments, this is probably your jam.
Baby It's Cold Outside by RarePairGremlin Tags: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Winter, Cuddling, light grinding, hints to smut but nothing is described, jaw kiss, Kissing, Fluff, Established Relationship Summary: The childish grin spread over his lips again as he faced them, his gaze roaming up them slowly as an idea formed. Ushijima, ever prepared, was fully dressed in thick socks a pair of blue sweats, which they had tucked into their socks like the crime against fashion they are, and a thick hoodie. He knew for a fact, since he’s stolen it enough times, that the hoodie was fuzzy and soft on the inside. Beside them lay a steaming cup of tea, the bag still steeping inside as they liked their tea strong, and the aforementioned throw lay comfortably across their lap. A perfect image of warm and cozy.
It would be a shame if someone was to disturb that now wouldn’t it? Words: 1,471 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: This is exactly what it says on the tin, plus a bonus NB Ushijima!
the ghost in your room by mousecat Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Unrequited Love, Unrequited IwaOi, oikawa is a bit of a dick Summary: Hajime finds a way to get over Oikawa Words: 1,173 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: It’s an oddly pleasurable mixture of fluff and a punch in the throat.
Good Graces by Karasuno Volleygays Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Established Relationship, Arguments, Mending Fences Summary: Hajime is pissed at Wakatoshi for something he admits he did until he finds out the real reason he did it. Then he feels like a jackass. Hopefully, his live-in boyfriend is up for a good old fashioned groveling session. Words: 2,059 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: Making your otp mad at each other is hard and it hurts, but the communication afterward is so important. 
lit the very fuse by mousecat Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Getting Together, Unrequited Love, Christmas Eve, Mostly Fluff, ushiwaka is a soft boy, you can never convince me otherwise Summary: Hajime isn't sure what he and Ushijima are to each other, but he knows he's still stuck on Oikawa. Words: 2,609 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: If you like FWB to Lovers, step right up and scream into the void with me. 
Once An Enemy. by BGee93 Tags: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Alternate Universe - College/University, Fluff, Getting Together, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Enemies to Friends, Aged-Up Character(s), Slow Burn, Misunderstandings, Not Beta Read, Domestic Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Fluffy Ending, Volleyball, Volleyball Dorks in Love, Volleyball Dorks & Nerds, volleyball mentioned not played, Getting to Know Each Other, Love, Love Confessions, Falling In Love, Friendship/Love, Idiots in Love, Declarations Of Love, Dorks in Love, Confessions, Enemies to Lovers, Sharing a Bed, Literal Sleeping Together, Coffee Shops, Bakery and Coffee Shop, Coffee, First Dates, Awkward Dates, Aobajousai, Shiratorizawa, boyfriend sweater, Confusion, Cliche, cliches, Awkward RomanceAwkward Meetings, meme team - Freeform, Slow Build, Slow Romance, very slow burn, Sleeping Together, Sleepovers, Bonding, Forced Bonding Summary: 'It took several minutes to catch his breath again and to stop hissing through his teeth at the areas that throbbed, until they were just a dull ache. Once Iwaizumi felt he was able to move again he slid his hands up the strangers chest, ignoring the ripple and twitches his touch caused since the situation was already awkward enough without Iwaizumi appreciating the well toned muscle under his fingertips, as he pushed himself up till he was able to look at the persons face. There was more lighting on the bottom floor, as it was closer to the illuminating street lamps outside, so he was able to make out exactly who the man was within mere seconds despite the face still being quite shadowed. And the identity shocked him into stilling every joint, muscle and fiber of his being.
Oh hell no.' Words: 20,130 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: This was written for me as a gift in an exchange a while back. Have I stopped screaming about it? Not bloody likely.
Rating: M
Focus (On Me) by Verbrennung Tags: Underage, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Ushijima is a 1st year, lots of staring, and looming, and crowding, Seijou!Ushijima, rated for ~makin' out~ Summary: Nobody had foreseen future Super Ace Ushijima Wakatoshi transferring from Shiratorizawa to Aoba Johsai for high school. Everyone's curious to know why, and as Iwaizumi discovers, some of his reasons are... unexpected.
An AU in which everything is mostly the same except Ushijima is a first year at Aoba Johsai and has a huge, looming crush on Iwaizumi. Words: 12,454 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: This should probably be rated T instead, but whatever. If you ever wanted to know how much of an awkward bastard both of them are when they’re into someone, this is your jam.
Point Blank by Karasuno Volleygays Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Future Fic, Brief (but pertinent) Mention of Homophobia, Slow Burn, Financial shenanigans, Scary Men with Guns, Minor Character Death Summary: Iwaizumi Hajime accepted a position at a company that was going places, and he knew he had a bright future ahead of him if he just kept his head down and worked hard — a future his family desperately needed him to achieve. He didn't count on an old rival working in the same building, nor Ushijima Wakatoshi's surprisingly cordial demeanor, yet he managed to make an unlikely friend and an even more unlikely roommate.
But when Iwaizumi climbed up the company ladder and into some of the more shadowy recesses of the corporate realm, he knew they would both get more than they bargained for, and the only person he knew he could trust was Ushijima. Words: 44,981 Chapters: 12/12 My notes: This was my first UshiIwa and I still think about it a lot. Imagining these guys in regular jobs is strange, but kind of endearing when you get a feel for how they live their lives after volleyball.
Rating: E
Flare by fish_wifey Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, From dislike to like, Tension, Sex Toys, Anal Sex, Dressing Room Sex, Topping from the Bottom, Orgasm Delay/Denial Summary: Ushijima's forwardness makes Iwaizumi edgy, but after they figure their shit out, it's Iwaizumi who brings Ushijima on edge. Words: 7,687 Chapters: 2/2 My notes: Enemies to lovers speed run ahoy!
Tangled Webs by Karasuno Volleygays (Restricted) Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Black Widow AU, Assassin Iwaizumi, Crime boss Ushijima, alcohol use, Drugging, dubcon elements, Angst Summary: Iwaizumi Hajime is a seasoned killer, with wit sharp enough to cut and reflexes to match. He's never missed a kill. That is, of course, until he meets his new mark — Ushijima Wakatoshi.
Can Ushijima offer Iwaizumi what he truly desires, on top of a night of heated passion that can only end one way? Words: 4,120 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: This was some fucked up stuff, but sweet baby jesus it was a wild ride to write.
Unraveled by Karasuno Volleygays (Restricted) Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Bondage, Knife Play, Edging, Rough Sex, Flogging, Breathplay, Toys, Dubious Morality Summary: After his liberation from his past life, Iwaizumi adjusts to life with Ushijima. But something is missing, and Ushijima picks the strangest (and most erotic) way to give it to him. Words: 5,145 Chapters: 1/1 My notes: It’s cute that I thought the first fic in this series was fucked up. This one was clearly more so, but noragerts.

Tiny cracks begin to widen, ever so slowly, until the gaps they leave seem insurmountable.
They find their answers with each other, and surprisingly enough, with the little boy loitering outside their window.
—-
Or, a story of disconnects and the love it takes to bridge them. Words: 121,443 Chapters: 18/18 My notes: It’s long with a lot of heavy themes, but if you look at the tags and think you can get through them, it’s so worth it.

Instead, he shows up barely on time to his anatomy class, hears a small noise from beside him, and turns around to see Ushijima Wakatoshi.

They stumble in with their lips still sealed over each other’s, silent giggles passing between mouths as Oikawa hurries to flatten his hand against the door to shut it and crowd Iwaizumi against the surface, other hand winding around his waist to pull him close, keep him there—
But then an alarmed noise rips from Iwaizumi’s throat, the hand steady on his shoulder suddenly pushing him away Iwaizumi’s looking behind him, expression a mix of shock and mild horror and Oikawa follows a split second later, just in time for a moan to resonate past the muffled music being carried over from downstairs.

Love Halloween? Not ready for it to be over? No worries! Old and new, these are some of my favorite spooky, suspenseful, and supernatural Kylux reads--perfect for drawing out your favorite month a little longer!
which is 100% why i’m posting this on november 1st, definitely not because i didnt manage to finish it before yesterday. nope, not at all
My Baby’s a Devil in the Bedroom | @callmelyss
- E - 4/5 chapters, 14 645 words - “Oh, obviously.” Kylo let out a shaky laugh and ran both hands through his hair. “Wait, no, you’re serious. You’re a fucking demon.”
“Well, yes, not to put too fine a point on it.” Hux smiled, clearly pleased with himself at the joke. “Or more accurately, I’m a succubus. A sex demon.”
Kylo has an unusual squatter. He's pretty fine with it. -
This fic is seriously amazing. It’s a super fun idea, the dialogue is hilarious, and it perfectly balances the sweetness and humor with angst/intrigue. Plus, I’m absolutely taken with snarky, smug, candy-tasting succubus Hux <3 <3
strange phenomenon | @brawlite, @kyluxtrashcompactor
- E - 8/8 chapters, 65 756 words - Kylo Ren is haunted by recent tragedy. He answers an ad posted by one Armitage Hux for a roommate, and he thinks a fresh start will help him begin to heal. He brings next to nothing with him from the past when he moves in.Or so he thinks. -
This fic is wonderfully suspenseful, and perfect if you’re looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat. I also had a lot of Han feels when reading this one. Overall it’s just really nicely well-rounded with heartfelt and genuine characterizations, good spooks, and some searing sexual tension.
Something Wicked | @marlonbookcase
- G - 7/7 chapters, 22 514 words -  Kylo and Armitage have been friends since they were kids. Now in university, they run a semi-popular YouTube channel called "London Below" where they investigate all sorts of haunted and paranormal happenings in and around London and try to answer the question, are ghosts real? When they take on the mysterious and tragic case of the Pendle Witches, they come face to face with the spirit world in a way they never have before. Will they make it out of Pendle alive? Are ghosts real? And most importantly, does Armitage return Kylo's affections? -
I love Buzzfeed Unsolved. I love Kylux. I love this fic. A lot. As it says in the description, it’s not an exact Unsolved AU, but it really captured the format/feel of the “paranormal investigator” genre, so if you’re a fan of that, you’ll love this. Bonus points for some mutual pining and sugary fluff 👀👀
Second Spring, First Fall | @huxandthehound
- T - 5/? chapters, 7 018 words -  Nothing brings people together quite like the holidays. Well, maybe not Halloween... After a scare, Hux has to confront his neighbor. Lucky for him, Kylo might be a little sweeter than his tricks let on. -
A cute multi-chap made of Huxloween prompt fills! Lighthearted, but it’s still got that Halloween spirit. Plus I’ve got a soft spot for sweet modern AU Kylo :))
Some Strange and Unnerving Events | @longstoryshortikilledhim
- E - 10/10 chapters, 158 815 words -  As a boy in a dreary school on the moors, Kylo Ren had only one friend, a red-headed boy whose sharp tongue and wit drew Kylo to him. But that friend was taken from him. Now grown, Kylo goes into the service of the master of Stormfield Hall, the enigmatic Lord Arkanis, who is seeking a tutor for his charge. Kylo's past will come rushing back to him, both in his new employer and some unusual circumstances that bring to the fore powers that Kylo thought long-suppressed. -
This fic hit me like a ton of bricks. This fic hit me like TWO tons of bricks. Start this one when you’re ready to be feeling it for a few days afterwards. It’s an incredible historical AU with magic and a great murder mystery--it basically pushes, like, all of my buttons. And it’s /genuinely/ spooky, I had to start keeping a light on while I read it. Oh, and it features definitely my favorite Millicent ever. If you’ve got the time for something long, go for this one.
Reach Out in the Darkness | unicornsandbutane
- E - 2/2 chapters, 9 321 words - Having spent a decent amount of time researching the history and folklore of Arkanis, Cadet Hux strikes out one chilly evening in search of some legendary creature that's supposed to be extremely powerful. If the myths aren't true, all he's wasted is time. But, if they are based in some actual fact, then what a boon such an entity would be to his cause. He doesn't know what he will find, but he is prepared for any (absolutely ANY) eventuality. -
Tentacle monster Kylo. I am unapologetic. It’s really good.
Witchfeather | Whatever21ism
- E - 14/? chapters, 16 015 words - Armitage Hux is a new witch trying to establish himself in a new town. One day he goes out seeking a familiar, particularly a cat, somehow instead he ends up with a raven who is much more than they appear to be. -
A favorite of mine! Apothecary witch Hux & his crow familiar Kylo. There’s some really nice worldbuilding and crow Kylo is super cute. Possibly abandoned, but defs worth checking out what’s there & showing the author some love.
First Order Investigations | @mistresseast
- Unrated - series, 3 works, 58 094 words, incomplete - Hux and Phasma have been running First Order Investigations since high school, and Dr. Snoke's metaphysical research graduate program seemed like the perfect opportunity to pursue their interests under the protective umbrella of academia. Unfortunately, that meant allowing Snoke's personal project, a taciturn medium named Kylo Ren, to join their team. Hux and Kylo mix like oil and water, or, more accurately, like fire and gasoline, and Hux is convinced that working effectively with Kylo is absolutely impossible. They hate each other, and Hux is content to leave it that way.
But then, a case in the sweltering heat of South Carolina begins to change things between them, and Hux finds himself questioning not only Kylo's feelings, but his own as well. -
Paranormal Investigator AU of the highest quality. The detail and thought put into each investigation site is incredible. I love this fic to pieces, and if you like ghost stories, you will too.
Undead | @heyktula, @splinteredscript
- E - series, 2 works, 6 855 words, incomplete - They’ve been circling around each other for years. Kylo Ren, the most powerful vampire in Supreme Leader Snoke’s house, and Armitage Hux, the human liaison between the world of mortals and that of eternal darkness. Baiting, taunting, the cord between them growing ever tighter.Sooner or later, one of them is going to snap. -
A lovely and dark vampire AU~~ Gives off some real classic Kylux vibes, and is an absolute pleasure to read :D
Fixer Upper | @irisparry
- T - 5/7 chapters, 10 034 words - When Armitage Hux starts with First Order estate agents, he thinks the house on Alderaan Drive is an insult, a patronising set of training wheels for the new boy. He is ... not correct. -
Adorable haunted house AU! I love both of their characterizations in this one, especially shy, grumpy ghost Kylo~
Hair of the Dog That Bit You | @theweddingofthefoxes
- M - 9/9 chapters, 21 597 words -  Ren owns a popular tavern, and Armitage is a respected physician in town and the surrounding villages. Their years-long friendship will survive anything -- even the bite of a werewolf. Won't it? -
Full disclosure, I haven’t actually finished this one-- I have a tendency to get distracted unless I finish something in one sitting, rip. But I remember being SUPER stoked about starting it, and anything by weddingofthefoxes is guaranteed to be a treat, so I’m putting it on here anyway :D tbh now that I’m thinking about it again I’ll probably finish it tonight.
The Eldritch Effect | @generallyhuxurious
- E - 17/17 chapters, 67 899 words - For the last three years Major Donal A. Hux, formerly of the British Army's Parachute Regiment, and Kylo Ren, estranged son of US Defence Secretary Leia Organa, have been tooling around North America investigating "weirdness"- and they're plenty weird themselves. Their latest tip off is leading them towards a haunting in rural Alabama. But first they need to make a stop in Trinity, South Carolina... -
A real goofy Paranormal Investigators AU that I super love (but I also need to catch up on rip). It’s an American Gothic AU, but you don’t need to have any knowledge of the show to follow along (I don’t). It also comes with a series of oneshots set in the universe but outside the main plotline, so when you finish the fic and inevitably want more, you’re covered ;)
blackbird, fly | @acroamatica
- M - 19 265 words - One sunny afternoon in the mountains of Washington state, Ben Organa-Solo walked out into the woods.
He never came home.
Six years later, a journalist specialising in missing-persons cold cases decides to follow his footsteps and see where they might lead. -
This is a sad beautiful horror AU that is very close to my heart. The writing is just gorgeous and the suspense is beautifully done. Also, it about doubled the amount of emotions already attached to the song Blackbird for me (I still get a little heart-squeeze every time I hear it)
what’s real or isn’t | @brawlite
- E - 12/12 chapters, 57 398 words - Hux's new house is not haunted. It isn't. -
Super surreal haunted house AU. There’s also monster sex. This is definitely a staple of spooky Kylux fics :D
How to Kill a Living Thing | hedgerowhag
- E - 10/10 chapters, 25 394 words - It starts like any other horror movie: a young man moves into a strange old house full of relics of the past and becomes haunted by some strange entity. However, Ren doesn't find the monster that he expects. -
This one has got some of the most stunning, spooky visuals I’ve ever read. I could picture every scene and character so clearly. Plus, I love Hux’s characterization--he’s kind of a shit, and it’s beautiful.
Twenty-Six Weeks | @vmprsm
- E (eventually) - series, 4 works, 28 539 words, probably complete - Two mature adults need to do two things: live an a house with a stranger for six months, and keep their secrets to themselves. How hard could that be?
Apparently very. -
The author made a point of trying not to give too much away in the summary/tags, so I won’t either :D I’ll just say it’s one of my favorites, and definitely worth a read if you haven’t already~~
The Brief Wondrous Return of Vampire Boy | @hollyhark
- T - 21 190 words - Two days before Halloween, Hux hears a rumor that Ben Solo is back in town. While Hux does not believe the sensational version-- that his estranged childhood friend/enemy escaped from an asylum and is out for revenge --he is left on edge as to how to proceed. -
One of my favorite Halloween fics; it really encompasses the feel of fall/Halloween but also, like, good ol’ ~teenage bullshit~. There’s a lot of creepy Snoke stuff, some dealing with the fallout, and a nice hopeful ending :))
Ghost Encounters of the Hux Kind | carefulren
- T - 9/9 chapters, 25 610 words - Kylo purchases an old, abandoned house in order to get away from his family. He just wants the chance to be alone for a while, and he considers this house as the start of his new, isolated freedom.
Everything is going as smoothly as possible, until it's not.
Perhaps, Kylo isn't living alone after all.-
A sweet and soft ghost  story AU. I adore the ending <3 <3 
Spookylux Huxloween 2018 | @nofootprintsinsalt
- T - series, 31 works, 36 896 words, complete - Huxloween 2018 - 31 benarmie fics in 31 days -
A series of benarmie fluff/horror for the Huxloween prompts this year! These were so so fun to read throughout the month and I adore the little universe that develops as they go on :))
Of Our Time | @ezlebe
- E - 15 297 words - “Do you know how many people would think it’s weird you walk around in the day?”
Hux grits his teeth in vain against an uncanny sensation, his own words digging and clawing up his throat to leave behind the taste of blood and bitterness thick on his tongue. “I could care less. I was made this way before there were movies – before fucking Stroker. Call me a demon if it makes you feel better.” -
I only read this really recently, and I was BLOWN AWAY. Seriously, this packs so much into 15k--it’s got feels, it’s got lore, it’s got steamy smut. What more could one ask for?
Shiver The Whole Night Through | @theweddingofthefoxes
- T- 5/5 chapters, 7 977 words - Ren's always loved hunting, so when he's told his paid time off won't roll over into the next year, he decides to take a week, get his gun and rent a cabin in the woods. But it takes no time at all for the hunter to become the hunted. -
This one’s very accurately tagged “Mind Games,” which really made it stand out to me--I do love a good spooky woods story~~
The Ghost Under My Bed | @longstoryshortikilledhim
- E - 19 525 words - Amateur witch, aspiring actor and full-time family fuckup Ben Solo discovers that his house is being haunted. Best part? His very own poltergeist, Armitage Hux, is kinda cute. Worst part? Well. He's dead. -
THIS IS THE SWEETEST GHOST STORY. I love it so so much. The sweetness of their relationship set against the sad backdrop of both of their histories gives this one a really unique feel. And the ending is guaranteed to give you the warm fuzzies <3
--
aaaand that’s all, folks! Lord, this post turned into a behemoth lmao. I just. really love supernatural stuff. (on that note, if anyone has read/written anything even tangentially spooky/supernatural, feel free to send it my way. I will happily give it a read ;)))
Happy reading! ^_^

The Change
Harry hadn't expected Joey to ask him to stay late to talk with him.
He would have thought that since it was Halloween, with the man's love of fantasy, he would have have been itching to get home in time to join the festivities.
Harry for one had just wanted to get home in peace and hopefully have a nice, quiet evening to himself. It never seemed to last very long before things went wrong for him, and he didn't want to test his luck on a Halloween. He hoped that whatever Joey wanted to talk to him about could be wrapped up quickly and he get home before something happened.
Henry (the worrywart that he was) had asked if Harry would be okay finding a way home afterwards, but he'd assured the man he would be fine. It wouldn't be too hard to hail a cab to his apartment building, and the landlady was used to him coming back late. Sillyvision members often had to keep extra hours to get their work done in time for the deadlines.
Harry had left his belongings in their places around his workstation and department coat area, deciding that he would collect them once he was done talking to his scatterbrained but well meaning boss.
Harry lightly knocked on the door to Joey's office, politely waiting to be called in.
"It's unlocked!" Harry carefully opened the door, green eyes peering in at his boss who was sitting at his desk looking through a bunch of papers. The blonde man looked up at him, his face brightening. "Ah, Harry! You came sooner than I expected!"
"Watcha Mr. Drew, you wanted to see me?" The blonde nodded, waving him in with a smile.
"Yes, Harry. Come in, come in! Have a seat, take a load off your feet. I made you a cup of tea, first time I've ever done that. Hope you don't mind that it's in a coffee mug." Harry gave smile, pushing up his glasses slightly, and shrugged.
"Not a problem, mate. I'm not picky about presentation." He sat in the chair, picking up the mug. He could tell by the feel of it that Joey had made the water too hot for him to drink yet without burning his tongue. He'd have to wait a bit before actually drinking it. "What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Ah, well, I found something of yours in the lunchroom the other day." Joey carefully pulled out a folder from his desk and laid it out. Harry froze when he spotted the papers in question. He knew those papers.
'Oh dear, those are the scripts I was writing that went missing.' he thought, his heart sinking. He had written the scripts to make fun of the last few episodes of their cartoons, putting in a happy ending for their Devil Darling instead of him being the butt of the story, and now his boss had found them. Was he going to be fired for them?
Joey smiled brightly at him, his blue eyes glittering, like he hadn't just sent the dark haired wizard into a well hidden panic.
"I wish you'd shown these to me earlier Harry, they're all very well done! If I had known that this was what you had in mind when you said you wanted to brighten up the show, I would have given the okay sooner!"
'What.' Harry was sure his disbelief showed on his face, but Joey didn't seem to pay any heed to it.
"With a Demon for a main character it's hard to come up with good stories for them that won't get shot down by the code, you know. But I think these scripts you wrote just might be able to get through them," Joey continued, shuffling through the scripts. "I want to make them into official episodes, but I think they need a little tweaking first. That's why I want to talk to you, I want to work out what can be changed so we can produce them."
Harry gaped at him.
"S-Sure. I don't have a problem with that." He muttered staring at his boss in disbelief.
"Excellent, let's start with this one here, "Haunted House Hangups". Let's talk about how it would go on screen..."
Harry found himself drawn into a long discussion about Bendy hiding from a rainstorm and being pranked by a ghost, only for the ghost to feel bad when Bendy starts crying. Then trying to make the little devil feel better after his scare. It had been a cute idea he'd gotten while watching some kids playing when he'd gone to the local park while the weather was still warm for his lunch break.
The tea tasted a little odd, he'd noted, but Harry couldn't tell if it was the brand, if the mug had previously held coffee in it, or how Joey had made it. So he didn't mention it, not wanting to offend his boss's hospitality.
Harry yawned into his sleeve for the third time in as many minutes.
"S-sorry, don't know why I keep yawning." It was odd, tea usually didn't make him drowsy, since it was usually his substitute for coffee. Joey waved it off.
"You've been working hard to meet theses past few deadlines, it's probably catching up with you. You can take a nap on my couch once we're done. I don't mind." Harry nodded, his eyes drooping slightly. Joey pushed a sheet forward, pointing at one of the lines on the page. "What about this scene here? What did you have in mind for it?"
Harry found himself downing the mug of tea rather quickly as he explained his thought process for the episodes to his boss. Finally setting the empty mug down, having finished his explanations, he leaned back in his seat to look at his boss. Harry was struggling to keep his eyes open, leaning heavily in the chair. Joey watched him for a moment, an odd look on his face that Harry wasn't up to deciphering right then.
"You look really tired Harry, why don't you take that nap now? I can wake you before it gets too dark out. I could even call a cab for you, if you'd like." Harry nodded drowsily, stumbling to his feet. Joey darted forward, bumping the side of his desk in his haste, catching the wizard before he could fall over. Normally, Harry would have tried to shake him off, but he didn't think he could make it to the couch without help.
"Come on then Harry, let's get you over to that nice, comfy couch." Joey said, letting the drowsy teen lean against him as they crossed the short distance to the couch. Harry swiped half-heartedly him, then slumped onto the piece of furniture in question.
Harry was asleep almost as soon as his head hit the cushions.
~~B~E~N~D~Y~~H~A~R~R~Y~~
Joey waited until he was sure Harry was in a deep sleep before acting, then he carefully pulled the small British teenager into his arms. (Harry had always been small, smaller than most suburb raised teens) One arm slid under his back, while the other hooked under his knees and he lifted him up.
"Sorry about drugging your tea, Harry, but I don't think you would have agreed with my plan if I tried to ask you about it." Joey said conversationally, adjusting his grip so he could carry him out the door more easily. "But I do mean well by this. I think you would even thank me for it later."
The sleeping teen didn't respond to him, his breathing remaining slow and even. Not that Joey had expected any different, what with the strength of the drug he'd slipped into the drink.
Honestly he was surprised Harry had stayed awake as long as he had. He'd expected the teen to doze off halfway through their discussion, not after they'd finished it. Not that he'd minded, since it let them actually finish prettying up Harry's scripts for the show.
"You're such a secretive person, too! It took me forever to figure out you were magical. That's why I needed you for this." He continued, wandering down the hallways. There was no real point the talking to Harry right then, but pretending to explain himself to the teen made him feel a little better about what he was doing. "Well, not so much you specifically, Harry, but someone with magic. And you're the only person I know of who has magic that I know of."
There was a clatter and Joey nearly dropped his burden in alarm. Henry hadn't decided to stay and wait for Harry, had he? His friend had become rather protective of the teen (Almost fatherly to him) which had lead to Joey having to be extra careful getting Harry alone to pull this off. He glanced around, not spotting anyone in the hall besides himself and his sleeping burden.
He couldn't help checking the face of the dozing teen, despite knowing there was no way the teen could have woken up. And he relaxed
That was it, Harry's glasses were no longer sitting on his face. They must have fallen off and that was what had made the noise. He considered taking a moment to find them, but decided against it. It didn't matter if they were gone.
"I suppose that's one thing you would thank me for if you could, you won't be needing those horrible glasses of yours anymore." Joey said with a chuckle, shifting Harry's head so that it was resting against his shoulder instead of lolling back like before. A bad move on his part, carrying him like that would have given Harry a painful crick in his neck.
Joey strode into the Ink Machine room, glancing around to make sure everything was still in place for the ritual he had spent most of the month planning. Moving to one side, he carefully laid the teen down and set to work. He needed to make sure everything was ready and set up everything that wasn't, and he had to do it before Harry could wake.
Firstly, he had to move the tarp he used to cover the ritual circle he'd draw on the floor under the Machine's nozzle.
He thought hiding it like that was one of his cleverer ideas. All he'd had to do to keep people from being suspicious was claim he was trying to lessen the number of spills in the animation department, as well as keep the ink from being wasted. He'd had to put a few more tarps up around the building to lend the story credit, but it had worked. The fact that it had actually helped with some if the messes had been an unexpected bonus.
He carefully pulled off the tarp, rolling it up and shoving in to one of the enclaves in the back of the room.
Moving over to the dresser next, he pulled out a number of small jars filled with various ingredients, some candles or varying colors, a box of matches, a silver bowl and a silver knife. He gently poured some of the ingredients into the silver bowl, setting it down next to the circle. Followed by setting up the unlit candles around the edge of the circle, making sure they were all sitting stably and wouldn't fall over during the ritual.
He moved back to the sleeping teen, lifting him once more and laying him in the center of the circle. Joey lifted one of Harry's hands, carefully picked up the knife and cut the sleeping boy's palm, making sure the blood dripped into the mixture in the bowl. He set Harry's hand on his chest, making sure no blood fell on the ink circle itself.
Joey lit all the candles and started his chant, watching as the flames started flickering strangely in the otherwise still room. Shifting the levers on the machine so a drip would start, he pulled out a previously filled bottle of ink and poured it into the bowl, watching the circle seem to glow slightly in the low light.
Something in the air changed, and Joey could see the ink dripping into the circle start moving towards the sleeping person in it's center. The flames grew brighter, and Joey had to squint to keep his eyes on the ritual (he wouldn't look away, he couldn't). Joey wasn't sure how long he kept going, but his throat had become sore, the air had become heavy with magic (he was sure) and Harry had been completely obscured by the ink at one point.
But when the ritual was done, the candles had almost burned almost all the way down and a much smaller form lay in the center of the circle. Joey unlit the candles and crept over to the sleeping form on shaking legs.
It had worked. Now, laying in play of his voice actor, was Bendy the Darling Devil himself, eyes closed in a peaceful sleep.
Joey knelt down, carefully gathering the sleeping toon into his arms. He wasn't quite on model, the toon in his arms had a long spade tipped tail and a slightly more pinkish face than the one on his model sheets, but... Joey let out a sigh and smiled.
Bendy was okay, nothing had gone wrong or hurt him during the ritual. He was okay.
He gently tucked the toon against him and headed back to his office. He would have to stay the night to make sure Bendy was completely alright. (He wouldn't want something to go wrong that he could have prevented. Not after what he had done to get little Bendy to the real world in the first place.) The little errors could be explained away easily with a slight edit to his toon models, and the tail would be perfect for gags in later cartoons.
He cupped the side of Bendy's head, gently turning his face to better look at him. He paused, spotting a small crack of some kind by the little toon's brow.
It looked a little like a simplified version of the lightning bolt scar that had been by Harry's brow. It was an unexpected feature, but Joey supposed it must have had something to do with magic. Perhaps Harry had gotten it in some accident involving magic? Something that would have made it a defining feature for him? It seemed possible.
It wasn't a bad feature for the little devil, now that it was there. Perhaps he ought to have some kind of explanation for it to be woven into the show? He would have to think about it.
~~B~E~N~D~Y~~H~A~R~R~Y~~
He stirred slowly, shifting on the soft surface he was laying on. Something was off, different. But what?
He blinked open his eyes, slowly pushing himself up (a couch? Why was he laying on a couch?), the jacket that had been laid over him sliding off. He looked down at his hands, he had gloves on, with buttons on the back and only three fingers and a thumb (Why? That didn't feel right). He squeezed his eyes shut, pressing the heels of his hands against the back of his eyelids.
He felt dizzy, why did he feel dizzy? Where was he? What had happened to him? (Why didn't he feel right?)
Something behind him twitched, and he pulled his hands away from his face. Looking back he saw a long, whip-thin, spade tipped tail poking out from under the coat. Did he… Did he have a tail? He… Was he supposed to have a tail? (No, something wasn't right here)
His head felt fuzzy. What was going on? Why did he feel this way?
"You're a awake." A voice breathed out, sounding amazed. He turned, spotting a tall man standing a few feet away from him. He curled in on himself, tail wrapping around his legs, pressing himself into the cushions of the sofa. A kindly smile crept over the man's face, and he slowly came over, kneeling closer. "You're really awake. I didn't think you would wake up so soon. I'm Joey Drew."
"Welcome to the real world Bendy."
. .
AN: Bet you guys weren't expecting THAT now were you?
I suppose I should mention that the stories for this won't be submitted in order of when they would actually happen in the story. I might reorder them later, but for now you're gonna get them in order of when I finish them. Enjoy!

Part 3 / ?, wherein they go camping, much to Kinshirou’s dismay.
This is a long, image-heavy post. I’ve had it ready since like December but I never bothered to post it until now because I stopped playing the game for a while and I’m lazy. If you’re reading this on my blog and it’s done the obnoxious thing where it doesn’t show readmores, just click the date <3
You probably don’t remember where we left off because it’s been ages since the last post. I didn’t remember either. En had just gotten his second promotion in a few days; the game continued to insist on sending him home from work in an awkward outfit on promotion days. Kinshirou had just published his etiquette manual, and I had finally learned how to keep Atsushi from being miserable when he got home from work. However, En and Atsushi’s work schedules still kept them from spending much time together as a group.
Tumblr media
En’s latest work of art is a beautiful, subtle masterpiece. I know that because I, an ignorant philistine, see the art of a 6-year-old, but an art gallery was interested enough to pay $50 more than he usually gets for large paintings.
Tumblr media
This is kind of sweet, but he and En aren’t even engaged yet. Calm down, Kinshirou. It’s amazing how well the game knows them asd;lfk
Tumblr media
Atsushi has been promoted to caterer!! A $10/hour raise so that his hourly wage is no longer a pittance, a $368 bonus, and a coffeepot. His work hours start an hour earlier and end two hours earlier, which still isn’t very good :\ but look, he’s so proud of himself.
To get to the next level of his career, he has to start learning to mix drinks. I’ve dreaded this moment because the last time I bought someone a bar to level mixology, they never wanted to do anything else again except mix drinks. I took it away in the end.
Tumblr media
Kinshirou wakes up, sees that En’s gone, and goes to find him in the bathroom just so that he can kiss his cheek.
Tumblr media
Since he’s awake now anyway, En paints an Enatsu painting and then a Kinatsuen painting, one after another. I can’t bring myself to sell either of them. The Kinatsuen one is going to stay where it is, but I’m putting the Enatsu one in Atsushi’s room, because it’s kind of bare at the moment.
Tumblr media
En’s suave kiss is different than Kinshirou’s was. I assume it’s because he and Atsushi aren’t boyfriends yet? But Atsushi still seems charmed.
Tumblr media
And now that they’ve drawn my attention to that oversight, Atsushi asks En to be his boyfriend.
You can imagine your own dialogue here. You’re all so dirty-minded.
Tumblr media
En is into it, though.
Tumblr media
He immediately kisses Atsushi on the cheek. I’m glad all the Sims think that’s as cute as I do.
Tumblr media
Now they can all go on a much-deserved(???) vacation :D En and Atsushi have to take some vacation days to do it, but they want to spend some time together as a triad.
Tumblr media
They’re going camping! For four days. It’s cheap, and they’re still a little broke. En and Atsushi are nervous, but willing to give it a try. Kinshirou...
Tumblr media
..yeah.
Tumblr media
Their home away from home. There are cabins and houses you can rent, but... like I said. They’re broke.
Tumblr media
Kinshirou decides to start his vacation by practicing horseshoes. If this is all they have for entertainment, he’s going to master it.
Tumblr media
But En doesn’t like that attitude.
En: Come on, cheer up, it’ll be fun. Kinshirou: Hmm... Maybe so, then.
Tumblr media
Kinshirou: ...but I’ll still win at this game. Move.
As you can see behind them, Atsushi has been setting up their tents.
Tumblr media
He’s also the only one to introduce himself to the park ranger. In other words, he continues to be the only useful Sim.
Tumblr media
En is a miracle worker wtf
Tumblr media
Once Atsushi’s done the boring stuff, he can join his boyfriends and spend his time being cute and flirty, as was the point of this vacation.
Tumblr media
Kinshirou lights the fire for no reason. You’d think after part two, he’d have seen enough fire.
Tumblr media
En... get up. What if Atsushi drops that horseshoe?
Tumblr media
He does get up, finally. He has important painting to do.
Yes, I did add the easel to the lot before I brought them here. This vacation is costing $3 more per night than it otherwise would have.
Tumblr media
So much excitement for a mediocre toss. And Atsushi can’t pretend to be impressed because he’s besieged by bugs.
Tumblr media
Maybe En is trying to develop a style reminiscent of a young child’s?
Meanwhile, Kinshirou is still struggling with horseshoes.
Tumblr media
So it’s easy, but you’re still bad at it? Got it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Atsushi reassures him until he’s not embarrassed anymore...
Tumblr media
...so now snobbish boredom is his dominant emotion. Look at that face. Why does anyone tolerate him?
Tumblr media
If you’re wondering where En went, he’s taking a shower in here.
Tumblr media
Atsushi’s first attempt at grilling!
Tumblr media
En is drawn back by the promise of Atsushi’s excellent-quality(!!) baked potatoes. They’re sparkling! Atsushi’s so happy :D
Tumblr media
Happy boyfriends, although Atsushi is again plagued by bugs.
Tumblr media
Help him
Tumblr media
Kinshirou wanders off in the middle of a conversation and goes to sleep. En is glad to have an excuse to do to the same.
Atsushi goes to the bathroom, but doesn’t return. When I check on him, I find him like this:
Tumblr media
He’s stargazing. <3 But that’s not the spot I would have chosen, myself.
Tumblr media
The next morning, Atsushi happily makes breakfast. He seems to be moving past any fire-related trauma from his near-death experience in part two.
Kinshirou also goes to the bathroom and doesn’t return. When I find him, not only is he making unnecessary food, he’s making exactly the same thing as Atsushi, except
Tumblr media
wth a lot less skill behind it.
Tumblr media
He burns himself. :c Just go eat breakfast with the others, Kinshirou.
Tumblr media
Kinshirou: En, isn’t Atchan wonderful? He makes the best food, and he’s always so kind...
Tumblr media
En: Yeah, you’re right. Atsushi’s great.
Atsushi looks so embarrassed... Change the subject, guys.
Tumblr media
They’ve ventured out to the national park! They’re learning how to fish in case Atsushi ever wants to use fish in a meal.
Tumblr media
They keep gaining friendship with each other and with this girl, even though none of them have said a word. Maybe words aren’t necessary when you’re fishing buddies.
Kinshirou catches two fish before either of the others catch anything. So when Atsushi catches one...
Tumblr media
...he’s super excited.
Finally, to En’s incredulous annoyance, it becomes clear that he won’t catch anything in that spot.
Tumblr media
Poor En-chan.
Tumblr media
...poor En-chan.
Tumblr media
There, back to normal.
Tumblr media
Before they give up altogether on En learning to fish, they’ll try this one other spot. I just really want En to learn how to fish a;lskjf ...but the fish are too crafty for him here, too.
Tumblr media
This is the face of a man who no longer cares.
Tumblr media
Catching the fish made Atsushi confident, so he decides that En will be real impressed if he shows off his muscles. ...It’s sweet of En to humor him.
Tumblr media
I see you back there, bear man. Fuck off.
Tumblr media
I said fuck off.
Tumblr media
If the last screenshot had you wondering, Kinshirou is telling an unbelievable story.
Tumblr media
God damn it they’re all tense now
Tumblr media
Kinshirou mocks the bear costume because I’m annoyed he’s annoyed about the situation. Then the three of them leave, so that they aren’t tense anymore.
Tumblr media
Atsushi cooks his fish while En entertains them all with an adventure story :D
Tumblr media
He follows up with a ghost story. Atsushi hangs on his every word.
Tumblr media
Kinshirou chooses to find it amusing.
Tumblr media
................ I forgot that ghost stories summon ghosts.
Tumblr media
Oops.
He doesn’t stay long, though. The ghost that haunts the picnic table...
Tumblr media
What has En done?!
En: Holy shit, my bad. Kinshirou: Well done, En. Good job.
Atsushi, in the background, is preoccupied. He’s exposing himself to the source of his fears in order to lessen the fear. No ghosts will get in the way of his exposure therapy.
Tumblr media
They go back to their campsite, where the ghost is not. Kinshirou hopes that if he goes to sleep, he’ll be less freaked out about the ghost in the morning. En has other ideas for how to dispel his tension. Atsushi never even noticed the ghost to begin with, but he’s happy to go along with En.
...at which point I remember that this is the first Enatsu WooHoo! Congrats, guys. They get a happy moodlet from good WooHoo, as well, like En and Kinshirou did that once (except theirs was from “spectacular” WooHoo but ok whatever).
Kinshirou and Atsushi have never had a WooHoo so good they got a happy moodlet. I guess En is just really good at WooHoo.
Tumblr media
Morning activities c:
Tumblr media
Atsushi made this meal twice and it was poor quality both times. Fish tacos 2.0. At least he’s not so heartbroken about it this time.
Tumblr media
This screenshot has no narrative value. I just thought it was cute.
Tumblr media
The food was so bad it made them all feel sick... Oh, well. Atsushi is still learning.
Tumblr media
En... I know you’re a slob, but there are limits...
“From the moist depths of the trash, En has recovered: 1 baconite.” Congratulations, En. Was it worth it.
Tumblr media
It wouldn’t be a Kinatsuen Sims post without a screenshot of Atsushi looking distressed. This is why I put you in your tent to relax, Atsushi!! Just rest for a little while, you’ll feel better soon.
Tumblr media
He takes it out on the bugs instead. I guess that works too.
This is the moodlet Kinshirou got after he and Atsushi WooHooed:
Tumblr media
But this is Atsushi’s:
Tumblr media
Kinshirou, you worry too much. Atsushi liked it, see? It looks like I spoke too soon about no happy moodlets from Kinatsu WooHoo, although it’d have been nice if they’d both gotten it.
Tumblr media
But Kinshirou must not be too mortified, because he accepts Atsushi’s offer to be BFFs.
...and only afterwards did I realize that you can’t have multiple BFFs, and there’s no mod to make it possible. I guess it doesn’t matter too much, but poor En.
Tumblr media
This is the only couple that hasn’t WooHooed in a tent yet. They should have a turn.
Tumblr media
...but really that’s only an excuse to get them doing something else so that Atsushi can wander off and harvest wild things guilt-free. I want him to learn herbalism.
Tumblr media
He identifies things by eating them, which makes me nervous. But the WooHoo back there seems to be going well.
Tumblr media
lol.
Kinshirou now has two concurrent WooHoo moodlets. I’m proud of him.
Tumblr media
Desperate for culture and civilization, he decides to view this big statue. But the bugs have other plans.
Tumblr media
Dont look so resigned, En. Maybe it’ll go better this time.
(It did go better! He caught a fish. But I was following Kinshirou around in his herbalism journey and missed it.)
Tumblr media
This again... If they can’t learn that every time you poke a fire with a stick, the stick catches fire, maybe they should just stay away from fire.
Tumblr media
Because En is a lazy Sim, he doesn't jog when he has to go long distances like the other two do. As a result, it takes him a million years to go places. They all started to head back to the campsite at the same time, but Atsushi has already cooked and eaten dinner, and Kinshirou has burned a stick as well, by the time En deigns to show up.
Tumblr media
After dinner, Atsushi asks Kinshirou to go stargazing. <3
There aren’t many screenshots for the next day because they don’t do much of anything interesting. That’s largely because they sleep very late.
Tumblr media
Kinshirou, pls
Tumblr media
This is not the time to hit on Atsushi. Atsushi is fighting the eternal battle against the bugs.
Tumblr media
Or so I would have said, but whatever En does here, he manages to get Atsushi’s attention.
Tumblr media
...then he turns and starts talking to Kinshirou asldjkf
Atsushi: Hey... En-chan... I’m still up for... you know... you didn’t forget already, did you?
They all keep rolling whims to get married to each other but hey don’t have enough money or friends for a nice wedding yet asdl;jfk and they would be sad in the end if they had the quick, boring type of Sim wedding. They’ll have to daydream quietly about it for a little while longer.
Tumblr media
En ends the trip with another story. Not a ghost story this time, though. He learned his lesson. This is a fairytale. Soon afterwards, when he and Kinshirou are stargazing, Kinshirou gets homesick :C Poor baby, he’s not meant for camping.
The next day, without fanfare or screenshots, they head home. I think their vacation was good for them, but Atsushi has no vacation days left, so lets hope he doesn't set himself on fire again before he earns another one.
Will they ever get to see the community lots built and chosen especially for them? Will they get a cat? Will I, in fact, pick up The Sims again at all? When in the world will En and Atsushi have compatible work schedules so that they don’t have to run away into the wilderness to be together? Only time will tell.
Epilogue:
Tumblr media
The lion is En’s idea of a painting that inspires confidence.
