Gorgeous miss please expand on the kusakabe post🙏🙏
you really don't mean to flirt. it's in your nature, and the alcohol certainly doesn't help.
you lean on your elbows, waving a twenty at the bartender. atsuya sits a few steps away at the corner booth you've been lounging in all evening, an unlit cigarette between his thick fingers. he enjoys the aesthetic of smoking still, especially when he's drinking. hand to mouth– inhale, exhale– tap it on the side of the ashtray. it's a bit like meditating, he thinks.
someone slides onto the stool beside where you stand and you don't feel his eyes on you at first. you're nodding your head along to the music, watching the bartender mix a couple of shots. your head feels light, your body loose, and you hear a chuckle to your right.
"what's a cute girl like you doing here all by yourself?"
you smile in spite of yourself with a roll of your eyes. "is that the best you can do?" you ask him. it's hard to focus on his face. your vision is a bit unreliable at the moment, but he might be cute if you squint.
the stranger scoffs, and you lean heavier on one leg, your hips at an angle that he appreciates with a long look.
"what can I get ya?" the bartender asks.
"two whiskey sours, please and thanks," you slur through a smile, pressing your money across the bar.
"for me? ah, you shouldn't have," says the stranger at your side. he's smiling wider now and leans in a little closer to you.
it's your turn to laugh. "not for you, babe. for my boyfriend."
he straightens, nodding, still wearing his smile, though it's a little unsure now. "boyfriend?"
you lean onto his shoulder, lips a breath away from his ear, and whisper, "yeah, he's watching. better behave yourself."
behind you, kusakabe takes a deep, shuddering breath and contemplates lighting that fucking cigarette to calm his nerves. one foot taps incessantly on the floor while he cups the growing bulge in his pants, eyes fixed on you- the way your ass looks in those pants, the way your fingers trail over the forearm of another man, the plush of your lips on his ear.
"oh yeah? what'll he do if he catches you talking to me, hm?" the guy leans closer, nose nudging your cheek as you play coy.
"oh, I don't think you wanna know."
the bartender brings your drinks, and you tell her to keep the change. you make a show of walking back to your table, all slow hips and a demure smile over your shoulder as you wiggle a pinky at your devastated friend. when you slide back into the booth, kusakabe looks furious.
"who's your friend?" he bites.
you laugh and reach under the table to squeeze his thigh, and he jumps. you coo in his ear and lean on his shoulder to calm him, smoothing your palm up his leg until you reach the rock hard strain of his cock against his pants.
"are you mad or turned on, atsuya?"
he lights the cigarette and exhales harshly.

Dear MagiSoWo,
Do you know of any resources for declawed werewolves? My wife's parents had it done to her when she was a kid (along with defanging, back when there were more places these were legal) and it makes a lot of things harder for her to try to do them without the ends of her fingers and toes. She's figured out a lot of workarounds and adaptations throughout her life, but never met anyone else in her position or had any kind of specialized support, so we're trying to look into whether there's more options that can help her. It's not fair what happened to her and she doesn't deserve to struggle, so I hope you might be able to help.
Thank you
Tumblr media
Hello,
We always hope never to hear of practices like these again, but we're glad you're reaching out. We have enclosed some pamphlets from the Lunar Foundation on their support groups and online support communities. The best people to share tips and tricks on how to deal with all this, are the people who deal with it themselves every day.
If your wife feels up to looking into it, there have recently been some occult medical advances that make use of the innate power of a werewolf's transformation to counteract certain injuries or amputations. The effects differ greatly between individuals however, depending largely on whether they make a full transformation or always keep some of their wolfish features. Some people are very happy with the result, but others find it creates too big a gulf between their wolf and their human body. If you want to know more about this, the Lunar Foundation can bring you into contact with a specialized clinic.
All the best, and please know that the Lunar Foundation also offers lots of resources for non-wolfish family members. You will be very welcome there too, if you happen to not be a werewolf yourself.
~ the MagiSoWo Team

what do you think about saeyoung’s sexuality/gender identity? i feel like there’s lots of different headcanons that could fit him :3c he’s probably the character with the most room for those headcanons
I headcanon him to be very fluid in both sexuality and gender.
He falls for MC because they're so bright, because of their kindness (and let's be honest, their stubbornness and refusal to give up on him). Their gender doesn't really impact any of these things.
As for his own gender, it's been an interesting road of discovery for him. In the agency, he grew up very unattached to his sense of self. His body was simply a tool in their arsenal, one they could morph and push into whatever shape was most useful to them. This included having him crossdress several times in order to blend in.
These are the times when he is forced to confront his body and the way he presents, and it's where he realizes that putting time and effort into dressing himself up (he always goes all-in on his disguises) makes him feel nice. He likes looking pretty and wearing things that frame his body a certain way (he has to admit, he has very nice legs, especially with skirts that show them off).
It's a feeling he thinks about a lot when he's trying to figure out who he wants to be as Saeyoung. With his future in his hands and nobody dictating what or who he is supposed to be, he realizes that he doesn't want to be limited in how he looks or acts.
He refers to himself as she a few times in the chat - mostly when talking about himself in costume - and I think he doesn't mind what pronouns people use for him.
I mentioned this somewhere before, but he likes clothes that are well-made and that feel nice to put on. Dresses with big skirts that have some weight to them, jumpers made of quality materials. Buying himself nice clothes is an indulgence, because he's finally seeing himself as someone who's worth wearing nice things.
What about you? What are your personal headcanons for him?

hey hey angie 💞 please bless us with your fanfic top 5?
Hello! 🌸
I'm sorry if I reply so late, but I wasn't home and didn't have access to my computer. Thank you for asking this question. I've been wanting to write a post about my favourite fics for ages now. There are too many. That's why I can't pic 5 favourites, but I will make a run out of my bookmarks for now, if that's okay 👉👈🥹. This was fun and I have so many more fics that I love. Like all the ABOs and really so many others, but I don’t want to add them all in a post because they will get lost and they deserve ALL the attention. So let’s tag this as a LARRY FIC RECS - PART 1. Please, if you read any of these, let me know and let’s discuss them! <3
I'm very excited! Alright, let's go in no specific order:
Mirror Touch by pinky_heaven19 (59K): synesthesia AU that made me all soft and melting. Easily, one of the first fics I'd recommend.
The Changer and the Changed by homosociallyyours (60K): Hands down the best Girl direction AU for me. Lots of lesbian and feminism talk. Very very good. I saved it on my phone and re-read it every now and then. 
No pressure, no diamonds by karamelised (71K): Another fic I would read in loop. It’s just fun and hot but also angstyyy. Louis is a menace and Harry CAN’T (can he?) have any of it. They got me all in the first scene. The description of Harry got me like “alright yeah, that’s it. that’s the one”. Venice x Larry is always a good idea.
Love After the End of the World by mercurial-madhouse (writing_practice) (162K): This one is the dystopian-soulmate AU you need to read. Louis is such a pain in the ass in this one, I swear. You can't not love it lmao
Sodalite & Aventurine by forreveries (81K): Give me all the pirates fics, because I will drink them up like water in the desert. 
Fading by tothemoonmydear (202K): please read the tags of this one. It's a tough one, I read it long ago, so I don't remember much of the writing style, but I think the ED is depicted in a very thoughtful way.
Time Passed by coffinofachimera (66K): this broke my heart. I rarely cry with fics, but I sobbed at the end. Like the tags say... heavy heavy angst.
Our Lives, Non-Fiction by indiaalphawhiskey (@indiaalphawhiskey) (114K): I will defend this fic til my last breath. It's mature, it's complex, it's metaliterature at some point. Definitely NOT canonical, loved it!
For As Long As I Can Remember (It's Been December) by green_feelings (116K): the amnesia AU that got under my skin because it made me sooooo mad!
And down the long and silent street by whimsicule (86K): This fic just came back in my mind yesterday in chat with @lt2hoe! Victorian London, wherein Louis and Harry are on the opposite ends of the social ladder. More of these please!
Chasing Empty Spaces by Lis (domesticharry) (79K): even though I remember complaining with my sister about the fact that it contains few historical innaccurancies, I loved the story! Very emotional til the very very very end.
Dance to the Distortion by Lis (domesticharry) (97K): speaking of annoying Louis... this author never disappoints, trust me!
Let's Fall in Love in a Place You Want to Stay by embro (134K): this was cute and got me pouting all along cause I didn’t know if I was sad or just emotional. Oh, this is the Tarzan AU!
Take My Breath Away by RealityBetterThanFiction (154K): Top gun AU. One direction as pilots was what I needed. Narry is magical here!
With The Strength To Carry On by lovelarry10, therogueskimo (113K): I read it for my professional bias. Doctor AU. They cute cute cute. 
The school of extraordinary lovers by stylinsoncity (168K): I think I consider this one a classic. It’s simply a beautiful read. 
Maybe down in lonesome town by resurrectdead (45K): I don't quite remember this one, but it's in my bookmarks so I'll trust past me and rec this too. Farm AU are my guilty pleasure.
Let me separate my favourite authors from the rest because I’m on my knees for these two angels: 
The agony and the rapture by @thedevilinmybrain (venomedveins) (79K): you have no idea how much I love this fic. I would dare say I love it as much as I love pistacchios. And I love pistacchios A LOT. 
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is by devilinmybrain (venomedveins) (35K): As Dj Khaled would say... ANOTHER ONE. This is my love letter for @thedevilinmybrain I’m not sorry. 
Babydoll blues by devilinmybrain (venomedveins) (111K): my comfort fic. I read it when I wanna feel something. Hottest one on AO3. So hot it’s dangerous. They have this great ability to create this fantastic dynamic between Harry and Louis. I can’t get enough. 
And the other fave must be @larrydoinglaundry <3 
Love is a word, you gave it a name by CuckooTrooke (158K): this fic is everything. Smut, fluff, serious talk, gender talk, adventure, mental health. Waiting for the sequel like a kid waits for Christmas morning. 
This chemistry like candy to me by CuckooTrooke (35K): If you have ever asked me for an omega Harry fic rec, this one is the first one I mentioned. 100% recommended by me to literally anyone lmao. it’s the fluffiest, most endearing, I like the way the author explores and navigates some events.

hey melliot ! is jason anywhere on the aroace spectrum ?? idk if i’m reading into it too much, but as someone on the aroace spectrum, i don’t know seemed very aroace spectrum-y to me lols
Hi! Thank you for the question- I'm glad you connected to Jason through that lens and his story resonated with you!
This is a common reading of Jason's arc, and I want to reiterate what I've said on this blog before about death of the author and our intentions with the work not making fan headcanons "wrong" or "inaccurate"- your readings and connections to the material give it life and meaning beyond what we could have possibly dreamed of on our own!
The short answer is that I didn't intend for Jason to read as somewhere on the aro/ace spectrum when I wrote his arc. The long answer is below the cut!
I didn't intend to code Jason as asexual/aromantic when I was writing Princes, partially because I did think about coding Jason as autistic and wanted to avoid the stereotypical "autistic and asexual" character archetype. I think ace readings of Jason tend to read Jason's autism-coded interactions towards Maya (which I wrote more about here; moments like "don't you think it's weird you've never seen my body?" "well I'm seeing it now, aren't I?") as lack of interest in romance/sex in general. When I was writing it, I intended for Maya's female gender presentation to affect Jason's attitude towards romance and sex when he's dating her, but these interactions are not supposed to be representative of Jason's attitude towards romance and sex in general (similarly with reading 'I Don't Know' as about asexuality or aromanticism; Jason's arc isn't done yet, and what he says he feels in 'I Don't Know' -- which I intended to be "I guess I'm not in love with this objectively attractive female-presenting person" -- is only one piece to the puzzle. "I Don't Know" was in many ways the predecessor of "I Love You, I Swear" -- except in the latter, the character is already fully conscious of his attraction to men.) Jason is not interested in romance/sex with Maya because he is not attracted to women (which, Maya's gender stuff nonwithstanding, is how Jason perceives her) -- but I intended him to read as very much attracted to Louis and wanting to have a romantic relationship with him (and enjoying that romantic relationship, once it begins).
I think another reason my intention for Jason to be explicitly attracted to men doesn't always get across is that Jason's arc, more than anyone else's, was conceived of as a narrative about internalized homophobia, which by necessity requires some sense of homophobia existing -- not always a given in the Princes world. The expectations for straight people in the palace aren't as fleshed out simply because everyone but Jason is already, publicly or privately, part of the queer counterculture. Unlike anyone else in the main 5, Jason is still really trying to be the Perfect Straight Guy, inside and out. He has to overcome his internalized homophobia and reject the privilege of being perceived as straight in order to admit his love for Louis- no small task, and one that sends him into a spiral of despair when he realizes simply performing love for a woman isn't enough for her or for him. I tried to leave hints of this throughout -- his flustered aside about Louis' outfit during Talk About It With You, the musical and lyrical contrast between I Don't Know and If I Knew You Then, his verse during Love and Everything -- but it's not given much screentime simply because he isn't the main character. His struggles with how to reject power that comes with a terrible cost provide a counterpoint to Louis', and therefore didn't need as much nuance as Louis' does.
To get a little personal, I have been thinking about how common this reading is for a while, actually. Without going into too much detail, when I was quite young, my lack of interest in a bad romantic partner lead me to conclude that I was asexual. Subsequently, I dated a series of women, both because I was expected to due to my gender presentation, and because I figured if I was asexual either way, not being attracted to them wouldn't be a problem. I got a bit older and discovered I was in fact attracted to men- those emotions and desires simply hadn't existed earlier because of my age and inexperience. (I want to make explicitly clear that for some people those desires never exist, and that is awesome! And that being allo is in no way "better" than being ace- it just wasn't the right label for me, and that mismatch was causing me distress the same way I imagine it does for ace people trying to be allo.) Finally allowing myself to admit that I was attracted to men as a man was such a relief that I wanted to explore this experience in the figure of a gay man dealing with compulsory heterosexuality in Princes, which was written shortly after I had this realization in the first place.
If I were to psychoanalyze the script, I think this personal experience I had is why some parts of Jason's arc resonate so strongly with the ace community- like me, he goes through a period of believing himself to be something like asexual and aromantic, so reading "I Don't Know" that way isn't totally antithetical to the intentions of the script. On a broader level, however, I think ace people connecting to Jason reflects a wonderful moment of queer solidarity- how it is a common queer experience, regardless of your specific orientation, to come up against where society's romantic and sexual expectations for you differ from what you really want. Having to navigate that struggle is something we'll all be dealing with as long as there is an assumed cisgender, heterosexual, allosexual default, and if my art helps another queer person get the confidence to say "screw you" to those norms and pursue what they want for themself, I'm completely happy.
~Mel
P.S. I used "ace" as a catchall term here for "asexual and aromantic," but I know they're very different! I'd say in my opinion that there's a stronger argument for Jason being asexual (in the text) than aromantic (in the text), since the text deals with Jason's desire for a romantic relationship with Louis more than his physical desire for him. I can see a very fun reading where Jason and Louis are both asexual and in a happy romantic marriage at the end, which would also tie into Louis' discomfort with the pressure to perform sexually for his previous partners. I'm also not trying to say that no reading of Jason as somewhere on the ace/aro spectrum is compatible with the text as written- for example, we never see him try to date men other than Louis, so he isn't explicitly not demisexual. I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't thinking of him that way when I wrote his arc, so ace readings are more of a happy accident.

for shipping asks - is there a ship that you used to ship, but don’t anymore? i'm curious! i'd also love to hear your thoughts on remus/narcissa - favorite headcanon? favorite AU ideas?
Shipping Asks!
A ship I used to ship but don't anymore
This would probably be drarry? I was obsessed when I was between like 11 and 14 or so, and then it kinda just faded out when I got more into my current obsession (going strong for 7/8 years) Narcissa lmao. I have nothing against the ship (though I kinda dislike the shippers that insist it's basically canon anyway so why doesn't everyone love it), it's not like with dramione where I will click out of a Narcissa fic if it contains background dramione, drarry's cool. It's just not my thing anymore, but I'm still close friends with someone I met through drarry fan accounts on Instagram LMAO so I have some fond memories.
Remus/Narcissa thoughts
This is a bit more of a recent obsession of mine and I love it.
I think maybe my favourite headcanon is that no one (including themselves) expects them to even get along at all. No matter how they end up meeting/spending time together, no one sees it coming that they actually? seem to like each other at all? Like, if Narcissa ends up with the order during either of the wars and Remus is also there, no one's expecting that to work out well. But to everyone's surprise they vibe so well together. It's a brief moment of tension and not trusting each other, and then it's really strangely easy to settle in a dynamic of bickering about dishes and sharing blankets. He teaches her to make popcorn the muggle way, they talk literature and mythology together, they're vibing and it's unsettling to everyone else because how.
(slight detour into sirius/narcissa involvement) I also like the image of Remus and Narcissa bonding over their shared love, frustration, and attraction to a certain Sirius Black. Rolling their eyes at him, teasing each other when they're definitely not staring.
For AUs... I think the easiest way of getting them together is getting Narcissa to switch sides during either war. She ends up around the order, still a bit of a spoiled bitch just now on the right side of history, and one way or another she becomes Remus' problem to deal with. (Probably in the simple rationalisation of "they seem less likely to kill each other than the risk we'd take if we let her stay with Marlene or Sirius").
I'd also love to read a Slytherin!Remus AU where he and Narcissa are in the same year and start dating secretly.
I'm also writing a first war sirius/narcissa fic, and while it's not my plan, I could see Remus and Narcissa meeting each other in between the wars, both with these horribly painful memories of Sirius, and kind of depend on each other that way?
Plus an array of modern AUs including figure skating, college rivals, swinger's club, coffee shop, and parent/teacher conferences. Anything to get them flirting, really.

2, 4, 5, 14, 20 for your Riley & Ingo fix xD
Thank you!
2 and 20 Answered Here.
4. What’s the relationship like? Smooth? Rocky?
For the most part, their relationship is pretty smooth, but they have their times where they aren't on the same page. Being honest and open about what they are feeling usually helps Riley and Ingo keep on track in their relationship.
5. What do they like the most about each other?
Ingo has always liked Riley’s tenacity, especially in the face of overwhelming odds. Riley has never been one to back down from a challenge even when all seems lost. (Although, Riley’s tenacity presents its own set of challenges.)
Riley really likes how sincere and enthusiastic Ingo is. They’ve always appreciated his honesty with them, especially when Riley needed to hear it. And, they really like hearing him talk about the thing he's passionate about it. Riley thinks it is very cute.
Both also really like how good the other person is with their Pokemon.
14. Who gets cold the easiest?
Riley. When they do get cold, Ingo usually offers Riley his jacket, which is very warm and comfortable.
