I know many people though the romantic relationship aspect in FOI was unnecessary, and whilst I partially agree with that, I also kinda liked it because it was some of the only time in the book we got to see Eddie happy.

As you said this actually a pretty sad book and Eddie spends most if his time in it anxious or angry, so seeing any happy moments weaved in there made me happy too.

so, i'm gonna use this as a jumping point to talk about my take on the paige plot line. this is just my interpretation, and if you read the book differently, then that's your take. our views are shaped by our individual life experiences, and those factors influence the lens which we digest media in the context that it is given. if you don't agree, then that's your experience.

that is to say—

i felt bad for paige for most of it. eddie kinda sucks lol.

i hesitate to even call it romance because that has a certain connotation, and as someone who almost exclusively reads and writes romance, very little about their relationship comes across as romantic to me.

to build context, at the beginning of the book schneiderhan makes a nod* at a popular fanfic trope: girls using eddie because they want to know what it's like to 'get with the freak'. he says he doesn't mind this because "he's not looking to be anyone's boyfriend anyway," and this self-reflection rung true to me.

eddie's initial attraction to paige stems from 1) her being pretty, 2) she treats him like a person and not a "munson," and importantly, 3) she could get him infront of an important record producer.

in his monologues where he's visualizing his future and what he's looking forward to: being a rock hero, hellfire, getting money from his dad's scheme, california... he never names her. in fact, there's several opportunities for him to think about her, but he doesn't. she's a vehicle for two of those dreams, yet he forgets her. i'm a big romantic softy, so there were two times in particular it felt deliberate he didn't mention her when he thought about what he was excited for in the future, and it kind of stung ngl. he describes how happiness washes over him from the way she looks at him, and when they're together (in a sexual context) he remarks in his head about how he wants it to last forever, but it's like once she's off the page, she's gone.

at one point he runs inner commentary about how he never saw a future for himself where he'd do the whole meeting-someone's-parents thing, so he defaults to what he sees in romance movies. he opens the van door for paige and helps her inside. he gets flowers and expensive chocolates for her mom when he's invited over for dinner. but he rarely like... talks to paige about anything that's not related to the record deal, or what she's doing in town lmao. we as an audience barely learn anything about her. and maybe that's because it's the plot line in the book the least, or because the book itself is short, but *shrug*.

they clearly both like each other, that much is clear. he gets nervous around her, it's sweet. but it was equally clear from my interpretation that she likes him more than he likes her, and while they're both using each other (him for the record deal, her to move up in her industry's hierarchy by proving to her boss that she can provide him with a rockstar in the making), their relationship is very shallow and just sex, especially on his part. "not looking to be anybody's boyfriend."

i don't know if all that sums into it being unnecessary because i personally appreciate and pour over any context we're given in how he would treat potential romantic partners, but it did make me feel bad for paige since by the final reveal at the end of the book, it comes across like she invested more into the "relationship" than he did, and his last interaction with her probably felt extra shitty, even if both of them hesitated referring to each other as anything more than a friend or future roommate.

if anyone's not reading the book because they don't want to read about eddie falling in love with another girl, don't worry, it's not that deep for either of them lmao.

/* i don't know if the nod is intentional, but i've also used popular fandom tropes ("reader comes to eddie wanting weed, but is out of money and pays for it with sex") in my own work and thought it was a neat inclusion.

Forever and Always

Summary: Things didn't work out the way you wanted, but that's okay because you're both still happy in the end.

Warnings: exes to friends!Kepa, slight angst, brief mentions of anxiety in the beginning but really nothing too bad, brief heartache but it has a happy ending I promise

Word Count: 2.5K

A/N: My attempt at writing angst for Kepa because literally I just can't do it lmao. This is lowkey a Christian fanfic ngl but I thought Kepa would make for the perfect ex since he's getting married to Andrea (I promise I'll fight him for her hand in marriage but anyways). Highly recommended you listen to "Never Ending Story" by Stray Kids. The English translation will have you SOBBING

~~~

You looked in the mirror, smoothing out your dress and adjusting the bow in your hair. You'd been standing there for the past 20 minutes readjusting everything. It was the big day after all. You needed to make sure everything was perfect with nothing to screw it up.

It was hard to describe how you were feeling. It was a sensation you hadn't really experienced before in your life. You were anxious, but it was both happy and incredibly nerve-wracking all at the same time. But you knew you had to go through with it and push through the feelings.

You took a deep breath, taking one last look at yourself before heading downstairs where your friend was waiting for you.

"It's finally the big day. Are you ready?" your friend asked you.

"As ready as I'll ever be," you replied nervously.

"Then let's get this show on the road," they responded, linking arms with you and leading you to the car. "You look great by the way. I know you're overthinking it but you look stunning."

"Thanks," you said appreciatively.

The closer you got to the venue, the more your stomach started to twist. You weren't regretting your decision in the slightest. Actually, this would be one of the best days of your life. Still, the anticipation was killing you. You just wanted to be in that moment already.

"You're not getting cold feet are you?" your friend asked as they parked the car.

"Never," you said fidgeting with your hands, the ring on your finger glistening as the light hit it. "Just a little nervous is all."

Your friend shook their head and looked at you.

"Hey, look at me. It's perfectly okay to be nervous right now. It's not dumb or stupid or weird at all. But you got this. You've made it this far and you know deep down, this is something that you've always wanted. This is a dream come true. So just take a deep breath, get out the car, and strut your stuff," they said.

"You know what? You're right. I've been looking forward to this for so long and I'm not gonna let some nerves try and ruin such an important day for me," you said confidently, letting out a shaky breath.

Your friend smiled. "That's my girl. Now let's go show that crowd who the fucking boss is!"

You stepped out of the car and adjusted your dress one final time.

"Does my hair look bad? I feel like it looks bad," you said, fussing around with the bow again.

Your friend swatted your hands away.

"Stop fussing! You look beautiful. Just take a deep breath okay?"

You took your friend's advice, breathing deeply while taking in the sight around you. Everything looked absolutely perfect. It was everything you'd imagined it to be. It just screamed him. You knew how absolutely meticulous he was and it paid off. The decorations were beautiful, the venue was stunning, and everything was set to be the perfect night. You couldn't wipe the smile off your face knowing that in a few moments, the promises you'd made to each other all those years ago would be permanently set in the vows that would be spoken.

Your heart ached ever so slightly.

The doors in front of you opened. Your breath hitched and your heart stopped as you saw him down the aisle. There he stood at the end of it, mirroring exactly how you felt. He was always better than you at keeping his emotions at bay, but you knew him well enough to know that his nerves were just as bad as yours.

He met your gaze, his heart skipping at the sight of you. You looked perfect tonight. You always did to him. The two of you smiled at each other from opposite ends of the aisle, taking in everything going on around you. It was perfect, just like you'd always wanted.

You started walking toward him, letting yourself be fully immersed in the moment. You knew you would remember the feeling for the rest of your life and you just wanted to enjoy it.

Your eyes never left his as you reached the very end of the aisle. You both stood there for a while, letting everything else around you fade away. You never spoke a word, but you knew exactly what the other was thinking. Your souls had always been intertwined that way since the day you met.

'I can't believe it's already here,' you grinned at him.

'I know. Just like we promised,' he grinned back.

The ache in your heart grew more prominent.

'Congratulations Kepa. I'm so so happy for you amor. You and Andrea deserve the world.'

He looked down at the ground, the ache also becoming present in his own heart. He cleared his throat before meeting your eyes again.

'Thank you princesa.'

A hand gently placed itself in the small of your back, causing you to jump and break eye contact with your ex lover.

"You doing okay?" your friend who was also your boyfriend asked you.

You swallowed the nostalgic ache, letting it pass through and smiling at him.

"Yeah I'm okay Christian. Just needed a minute," you said softly.

Christian kissed your forehead gently. You leaned into his touch feeling content.

"Let's go find our seats before Kepa has our heads for holding up his wedding," Christian joked, grabbing your hand.

You made eye contact with Kepa one final time. The ache in both your chests dulled as you smiled softly at each other in understanding. You gave him a thumbs up with your free hand making him laugh before Christian dragged you towards your seats.

The wedding was beautiful. Andrea was the most stunning bride you'd ever seen in your life. Quite frankly, you were half tempted to object just to ask for Andrea's hand in marriage. But the awestruck look in Kepa's eyes as he stared at his wife was enough for you to hold it in. The moment they said "I do," you were sobbing into Christian's arms. Christian was highly amused at your display of emotions but held you nonetheless, also happy for his friend and teammate.

You were on the dance floor with Andrea, Sophia, and some of the other WAGs having the time of your lives. You'd pretty much ditched your boyfriends/husbands for each other, leaving the men to try and out dance your little group. It turned into a strangely competitive little game, but it was hilarious nonetheless. It was genuinely such an amazing experience to share with all of your friends that you knew you wouldn't forget.

Deciding you needed some air, you excused yourself to sit outside on the steps for a bit. It was quiet with the rest of the guests inside the reception hall. The stars were shining brightly, the moonlight illuminating the world around you. You let out a sigh of content at how peaceful it was.

"I figured you'd be out here at some point tonight," a voice said behind you, breaking the silence.

"And I figured you'd notice when I slipped away," you snorted back not even flinching at your companion.

"Don't I always?"

The figure sat down next to you nudging your knee with his.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't have to be such a smartass on your wedding day, Kepa," you retorted. "But you get one pass."

Kepa chuckled as you laid your head on his shoulder. You sat in silence for a bit, letting yourselves enjoy the presence of the other.

"Can I ask you something?" he asked hesitantly after a while.

"Always," you answered.

"Do you ever wonder if it could've been us in the end?"

"You're really asking me this on your wedding night?" you joked, trying to cover up the way your heart started to ache again.

He pushed you lightly making you giggle.

"Just a thought," Kepa said absentmindedly. "I figured if I was gonna ask you, tonight was as good as any to do it."

You hummed, not answering him right away. More silence fell between the two of you. He wrapped his arm around your waist, pulling you closer into him. He placed his head on top of yours. You hadn't done this in a while, but your hearts recognized the familiarity.

"I think about it every time I look at you, amor," you almost whispered, breaking the silence once more. "If we're being honest, the heartache never fully went away. And I don't think it ever will."

"Me too."

"I'm happy it's Andrea. I know how much you love her," you said. "She's everything you deserve and more. Honestly, I'm not really why she settled for you when I'm right here but that's fine."

He chuckled. "Hate to break it to you, princesa, but Andrea is mine for the rest of eternity."

"I will fight you, you know."

His thumb rubbed your side gently the way he always used to.

"I'm happy you found a home in Christian. He's a good guy, and an even better one for you," Kepa said softly.

"It's funny. If you told me 10 years ago that I'd be at your wedding as a guest and not as your bride, I wouldn't have believed you," you said.

"I wouldn't have believed me either. The thought would've been too painful."

You giggled, thinking of the old memories you shared. "We used to practice our vows all the time. Remember? 'I promise I won't keep putting my cold feet on your stomach in the middle of winter.'"

"Or 'I'll stop accidentally kicking you at three in the morning.'"

The two of you were cracking up. You were so young, so naïve, but those moments meant everything to you even after all these years later.

"There was one vow I haven't broken yet. And I don't ever intend on breaking it," Kepa said seriously.

He removed his arm from your waist to take your hand in his, intertwining your fingers. It's funny how things work out. His hands fit perfectly with yours just like they always had. They were familiar and comforting. They were still home to you after all these years.

But no longer did you have the butterflies you used to feel when Kepa held your hands. Your heart no longer skipped a beat at his touch. You felt content, but the romantic feelings had fleeted long ago.

"And what's that?"

He squeezed your hand tighter, kissing the back of it.

"I vowed that I will love you forever and always. That no matter what happens, I will always love you."

He lifted his head from yours and gently moved so that your foreheads were touching. His hand let go of yours only to place it on your cheek. His thumb gently stroked your cheek and you leaned into him.

"You're still home to me, princesa. Maybe not in the way we expected, but nothing will ever change that."

"You'll always be home to me too, Kepa."

You squeezed your eyes shut, taking a deep breath. Your heart ached, but you knew it always would.

"I love you Kepa Arrizabalaga, forever and always."

"I love you Y/N Y/L/N. And nothing will ever change that."

You wrapped your arms around his neck while his went around your waist. And you held each other tightly under the moonlight, hoping that you would never have to let go.

To any outsider, it may have looked strange. The groom acting in such a way with someone who wasn't his bride. But Andrea and Christian both knew even they couldn't come in the way of a first love. You and Kepa were each other's firsts for everything. And though you may not have been endgame, you would always love each other.

Calling your breakup "devastating" was a severe understatement. It was a mutual decision, but it didn't make it hurt any less. You loved each other long before you knew what love really was. But you were both young and stupid, still trying to navigate your way through life. And as much as the two of you loved each other, you knew that staying together the way you wanted was never going to be how your story ended.

But fate never led to astray from one another. The two of you went your separate ways for a while, not contacting the other just to help you move on and live your separate lives. Eventually, Kepa met Andrea, who was everything you couldn't be for Kepa and more. She was truly his perfect compliment and you were relieved to see someone love him the way he deserved.

Likewise, you fell in love with Christian along the way. Funnily enough, it was Andrea who had introduced the two of you. He wasn't Kepa, but he didn't need to be. Christian brought out the best in you and you were the happiest you'd ever been. You didn't think you'd ever get over Kepa, but Christian completely changed your mind. He made you believe in love again. And Kepa couldn't have asked for anyone better for you.

"Okay, enough of this sappy stuff. You have a bride in there waiting for you an if you don't hurry back to her, she'll be my wife by the end of the night," you half joked, trying to wipe the tears that formed away. "It's sort of a joke but not really so go before I actually fight for her."

Kepa chuckled.

"Thank you for coming, princesa. It means a lot to me," he said seriously.

"I wouldn't have missed it for the world, amor," you said smiling back at him.

Kepa gently kissed your forehead, letting his lips linger for a moment before standing up.

"Do you want to come back inside?" he asked as he dusted off his suit.

You shook your head.

"Don't worry about me, Kepa. Go to your wife."

"Impossible. I'll always worry about you, Y/N."

You chuckled. "I can pretty much guarantee Christian is awkwardly waiting behind the doors for you to leave so he can check on me. I'll be fine amor."

And you were spot on. Kepa busted out laughing seeing Christian sheepishly emerge. You looked over at Kepa smugly, 'I told you so' being written all over your face.

"She's all yours mate. I got a wife to keep away from her," Kepa winked. They did a quick handshake, Kepa patted Christian's back afterwards. He met your eyes one last time, twinkling with happiness before joining everyone inside.

You stood up, dusting your dress off. You skipped over to Christian kissing his cheek, your own eyes twinkling.

"I'm all good I promise," you said before he could ask.

"I know you are baby. Now let's go out dance everyone on that dance floor."

You giggled and took his hand.

Things weren't what you expected. You didn't end up marrying Kepa like you'd hoped for and the heartache you felt every time you looked at him would never fully go away. But he was much too important for you to lose. Kepa was your home, and you were his. Your hearts would always be intertwined in some way and the love you shared would always be there. And that was more than enough.

Thoughts about aang/katara/azula (aazulara?)

And what are the chances of a aazulara fanfic by you? I love, love your work!

Thank you so much, Anon! Glad you enjoy my work!

As for aazulara/kazulaang/azutaraang/etc, there are two wolves inside me:

On the one hand, I have made it known that I ship Aang/Azula/Katara/Toph, with the caveat that it would take a whole lot of work to make it a believable and stable relationship. This is because A, I think polygamy is an interesting dynamic for character exploration and worldbuilding, B, I love all four of these characters, and C, they're hot.

The last airbender with a wife from each of the other nations, bringing in a whole new generation of Air Nomads? How I can I not be tempted by the poetry and potential in that!?

The kind of life Aang deserves, ngl.

But, on the other hand, I can't ignore the elephant in the room. Katara strikes me as the kind of person who doesn't share when it comes to love, regardless of who her partner is. Same goes for a redeemed Azula. Two rams do not share the same cave, as the saying goes, especially when those rams have so much in common in terms of both skill and personality.

Keep in mind, this is all coming from someone who ships kataang, azulaang, and azutara.

In order for aazulara to work, we'd have to engage with some major canonical elements.

First off is that territorial nature, as I mentioned. Another is forgiveness. Aang, to me, is far more likely to forgive Azula for what she did to him than Katara. Katara, for all her compassion and wisdom, knows how to hold a grudge. We saw the way she threatened Zuko, imagine the kind of words Azula would get. There is a note of pity on Katara's face in reaction to Azula's breakdown, but it's clearly mixed with other, less sympathetic feelings, and her real compassion is being extended towards Zuko for having to watch this, not Azula herself. The third is what emotional needs and wants are fulfilled by a throuple that aren't filled by a couple, but that aspect is true of most throuple ships throughout fandoms.

An aazulara story that works from the original canon, to me, seems like performing a famously difficult trick. You pull it off, you're getting your name in the books. You mess up, and only a handful of the crowd is gonna applaud you for trying.

But god, imagine if a writer did pull it off. A redeemed Azula finding love and partnership not just with one but two people, both of whom being former enemies who forgave her. Avatar Aang with two masters advising him at all times, who just so happen to also be his wives. No politician in the world would dream of messing with or disrespecting Aang, not with those two women backing him up and scaring them away. All three suffering tragic losses in childhood and growing up and establishing a new home, a new family! Plus, you know Aang loves him some powerful women who boss him around.

Not to mention the kids!

"Dad! Can I go camping with Lee this weekend?" "What did your moms say?" "...no." "Sorry, kiddo."

I'm not sure that I have the talent, time, or energy to pull something like that off, but I wish that I did.

Thanks a lot for indulging into my fantasies I loved the little drabble you did of them😭😭.

I just checked you're an INFJ so I'm guessing you know bout the mbti types. I've always wanted to see some mbti personality mixed in fanfics, you know. Very very self indulgent ask of me but if you're willing to humour lil ol' me(a girl can dream big) I'd ask for your thoughts on entp reader(basically Kuroo's type) X characters.

Sakusa is what's on my mind specifically since I barely see content on entp X istj, (that also brings me to the idea of sakuatsu but I can't ask for so many things at once so I'll just leave that for later) and ofc I'm can't for the good of my heart live without a bit yandere mixed into stuff so do spill your thoughts on this pairing (Imsosorryimjustsodeprivedbarewithmepls)

P.s. do tell me if my asks are being too much!!

So sorry for the delay!

Ngl the only reason I know my MBTI type is because I had to know it for a little in-class assignment (idk why and tbh I don't think the prof knew either). Just got a wee bit curious and took a peep at ENTP--pretty intrigued, honestly.

Note: I love when people send me asks, and people wanting content they can't often find isn't unreasonable. That said, if you want me to write a fic, that's a commission, to which you can DM me to discuss the specifics as well as the price. As much as I love writing, creating a whole story takes time and energy. Otherwise, I'm sticking to a drabble.

Upon doing my bit of research on the ENTP type, I immediately thought of sakuatsu, mainly because I can imagine Sakusa's irritation around the personality type (in an enemies-to-lovers way, ofc). However, we're also adding yandere shit into the mix (as we should), so I view the enemies-to-lovers dynamic to be the front Sakusa sets up to hide his true feelings. A mix of love (if you can call it that) and jealousy for being almost everything he isn't, he knows his thoughts of you would be frowned upon.

The wing-spiker can't say he's a fan of your rule-breaking and spontaneity--it's just begging for chaos to ensure, and with what he has to deal with from some of his teammates (you know the ones), he doesn't need any more of that. But those concerns are nothing compared to how he greatly admires your creativity (not that he'll ever admit it), and while he hides from crowds, you welcome them, though he can't say he particularly enjoys your attention being elsewhere (especially when other people are involved).

The fact that you're willing to interact even with him intrigues him. Dare I say, he wants you to come back, perking up when you call his name to start a conversation. Sure, you do most of the talking, but he's more than willing to listen, so long as you don't notice his staring, or that his thoughts are stuck on you, morphing farther away from innocent. At least you don't suspect anything malicious when you catch him zoned out. He'll scoff at your teasing if it means keeping you unaware of his true desires.

Now he's listening in on more conversations, even the ones that he's not in. He hates crowds, but he'll deal with them if it means seeing your lips curl upwards while you talk. He's just looking over you, of course. He's seen how others look at you--the curses of having charisma, he supposes. Keeping them in line is the least he can do for you.

That excuse doesn't work when you're home alone. You're talking on the phone--to whom, Sakusa couldn't care less. So long as you didn't have a partner, he'll gladly watch you go on about your day from his little hiding spot. Learning whatever he can, hoping to somehow bring it up in your next conversation without drawing any suspicion. Maybe you'll come back to him more often afterwards, grow closer until your feelings match his. He's willing to change for you if it works, if you'll stick around a second longer.

Just a little longer.

#what a fucking creep #i love him #also is it just me or are the so-called “rare” mbti types not rare???#like i keep finding accounts that are infj #buddy ur just like me frfr #yandere sakusa #sakusa kiyoomi #yandere istj

I saw your post (s, because I know that this is unfortunately something you`ve had to deal with multiple times) about people asking if IBLBM is discontinued and what not, so I thought I would write from a different perspective.

sorry but this is going to be a bit long, with a little bit of broken English, but I hope this will be okay and that it will be somewhat coherent:))

reading a very good story like, IBLBM, its kinda like when you eat after a long time, without realizing how hungry you are, and then you just devoured everything. it is so good, and there is no good point to stop either. The flow of the story, the little incidents/moments and the major plot points are so amazing, with the writing/language itself being of the highest quality, it is so difficult to stop. people who stumble upon the fic after it is done is going to read it all within days I believe! at least that is how it is for me when I find a top tier fic.

which is why after a chapter ends, all you crave its more, however it has been soooo fucking good having these months long waits in-between chapter!!!!

i dont really read wip especially for longer fic, but I might have to reevaluate after you. I started reading top gun fanfics around Christmas I think, and "what up,..." was one of the first I read and then I immediately just clicked next over to IBLBM, and it was so good that top gun has now been mine main fandom since NYE.

having time between updates made it so that you have to step away from it and then instead of just focusing on the fic as a whole, really put the spotlight on each chapter. and instead of just consuming everything, you have to take your time with it, and that is when you really get to enjoy it.

I have send in an ask before, but im truly in awe of the transition between each chapter, the flow that is good throughout this work is a masterpiece, I actually can't believe that your are writing this as you upload, amazing.

having the the 2-3 months made it so that rather then having a good ass meal when you are hungry, which is also good ngl, its more of an experience, a 10 course FEAST, where the days leading up to it you are just so excited, cause even if you dont know the menu, you just know its about to amazing, where its just like the moment in ratatouille where the rat eats the cheese and strawberry at the same time, a literary symphony ahaha. especially since you kept on FEEDING US WITH THESE 20-30 K WORDS CHAPTERS????!!! absolute mad, also especially since I just can't with these 30k words 30 chapters fic, that just not for me.

it made me really appreciate things I would have missed if I just read it when it was finished, and that I did missed the first time I read it, it has been so good rereading the fic between chapter uploades, after some time, to really get to know the characters through your eyes as well.

I can only imagine how demotivating it is to get request to upload the next chapter as soon as possible, but if it is one thing I have come to realized after keeping up with IBLBM these last months is that you only need to listen to your own gut about uploading of the next chapter, because you really know your shit!!

when it comes to what you have written so far the wait have truly always been worth it and never been too long cause everything you have produced have been of both such quality and quantity that its been a real treat I just can't get enough of.

I really hope that you will continue writing after IBLBM is finished, cause you truly have in my eyes a real talent for this, and if I can continue to read something you have written, a couple of times a year or so, it is truly a dream come true!!! but I also hope you take a much deserved break!

with how much you have actually written, while having a full-time job??? that is not writing this fic??? it is amazing that it is only 2 months between uploads!!!!!! when its finished IBLBM is going to be longer than most books, that a lot of authors, that only write, spends a lot more time on than you did (and did not produce the quality you did).

anyways, what this rant was really about is that I really enjoy your works and fuck the people who get greedy and can't wait for the masterpiece, art take however long it take!!! you will always have people willing to read what you write no matter how long it takes, cause it is really that good!!

lots of love during this finale bit of the race:))

beloved you’ve absolutely rendered me speechless with your kindness! like genuinely this ask just made my week. I feel so grateful and privileged that you chose to read my little WIP at all, let alone enjoyed it enough to reread chapters… thank you 🫶🏻 I am beaming so much love your way!

#imagine being loved by me #I feel so undeserving 🫶🏻

K. Heard no more is currently a favorite. I just read it again last night. I am in the process of attempting to make my sibling read it (although they are unsure about angst without a clear happy ending)

I absolutely love how Virgil is so certain that everything is fake. That in the beginning, it must just be a dream, tormenting him with what he cannot have. Then when he's picking everything apart, certain it's an illusion. The timing Remus had, coming in and accidentally making things worse. I freakin love that scene. Bc he looks like Roman, but wrong. He's asking for information that to anyone else seems haress, but is everything to Virgil. And Virgil will not hurt his friends, even if he thinks they wouldn't return the favor

The fact that Virgil sees their concern and their caution around him and uses that as a reason none of this could be real.

But even though he didn't believe it, he can't help but worry about them. Most notable to me, was when Virgil went out to the gardens and Roman was opening up a little and was obviously sad. And Virgil absolutely believes this is a trick. There's no way Roman would be this vulnerable with him. But he still reaches out and tries to comfort him. It's only giving in a little

His ptsd flashbacks are further proof that none of this is real. The one with Patton wanting to steal cookies turning into his Eminence strangling him was so amazingly well done that I was really confused for a minute

When Logan mentions helping him heal, helping him relearn how to be ok, it just fills Virgil with dread. Bc he knows that once he heals it'll be so much worse to have everything taken away

Ask the snippets of conversations he hears, the whole thing with the journal, all the history/world building stuff. It's just wow. I really enjoyed it, and I've read it a number of times. If you ever write more for that au,I would love to read it. But I really enjoy rereading it over and over <3

Thank you so much for taking time of your day to write this ask! It definitely made my day :)

I definitely do plan on an eventual happy ending to this AU with future installments, so the ending of Hear No More isn't the true ending, just the ending of that particular part. I understand though if potential readers want to wait until it's complete to read it all.

I've been working on this AU since 2018, it's just as much near and dear to my heart as Gibbous. Heard No More is actually a part of a second draft for the AU. The first draft is 27k in total, but for example--Heard No More? The entirety of Heard No More was originally 2k in the original draft. So I can imagine the final draft being close to 60k, which would be one of the longest completed works I've done to date outside of the entirety of Crescent/Gibbous.

I'm really happy to hear that Virgil's inner turmoil translated well--ngl, I was really concerned that the fic would be too dark or that it would be too hard for a reader to follow along. I wanted it to be a bit disorienting at times (such as the Patton scene you mentioned!) but still coherent. Like looking at a pile of puzzle pieces and being able to kinda see what the final image of the puzzle might be.

The main inspiration for this fic is I wanted to explore an angst trope common in fanfics (MC gets kidnapped and tormented by their captors) but specifically addressing the aftermath/recovery of that trope rather than have that be the main focus. So Virgil definitely has more healing to do in future parts <3

#kat answers #anon #this ask inspired me to reread the original draft because its been a while #and wow yeah i forgot how much I expanded upon in Heard No More #literally i turned 300 words until like 10k #absolutely wild #also remus didnt exist when i first wrote this au #and janus was originally the villain but dont worry he's been relegated to a different role #it was 2018 what can i say it was very much different times #btpomt au #<- that's the tag for the main AU of Heard No More #aka By The Pricking of My Thumbs

For the fanfic asks: ✨✍️🏷👓💕💌

hi zainab!! thanks for the ask <3

(from this list)

✨️: Out of the comments you’ve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favorites?

i’ve already answered this one here but a couple honorable mentions include:

whew. this is the first time i've ever cried while reading a fic.

on i’ve traveled far in search of someone like you (for what you are is the dream that i’ve prayed would soon come true) [why yes, i do regret titling it this long] which is my one last stop au

and

This fic was like being wrapped up in a warm, loving hug. I feel happy and secure and safe.

on oh so saccharine

✍️ What’s your ideal writing setup?

i’m assuming this means physical setup? honestly, i’m not picky? having a laptop to type on it nice, but most of my best works were written on google docs for iphone (including probably 60-75% of the princess diaries 2 au), so i’m not turning my nose up at it tbh

🏷 Is there a tag you like to search for when looking for fanfics to read?

lord knows i’m a HUGE fan of the bucky takes care of sam tag, but otherwise not really, unless i’m looking for a particular kink on occasion. my list of “do not include” tags tho,,,, that one’s a mile long

there are a few tags that will definitely make me more likely to read something tho (enemies to lovers, for example, or sam finds bucky before civil war)

👓 What helps you focus when you write?

mostly just having a lack of distractions. if my phone’s far away when i’m on my laptop that’s a huge help in general, but i also use the sprint feature in the mysu discord which helps me stay focused for short bursts bc i’m a competitive motherfucker and i have to beat my own wpm

💕 What is your favorite fic that you’ve written?

this is honestly a hard question for me to answer bc i’m fairly self critical, and also forgetful enough this changes depending on what i remember. the princess diaries 2 au is my magnum opus, so that feels like the obvious answer, but i did really love writing oh so saccharine if only because i really got to lean into my southern roots. i’m also probably unduly proud of the star wars au from au week, perhaps bc it’s my only real attempt at angst-ish (at least, angst that doesn’t resolve fairly quickly)

💌 Is there a favorite trope you like to write?

enemies to lovers enemies to lovers enemies to lovers enemies to lovers

i don’t even want to know how many enemies to lovers fics i’ve either written or at least began to plan out at this point tbh. i also really love bucky taking care of sam/bucky being so gone on sam wilson. i don’t know if those count as tropes tho i’m ngl

god yeah <3 sometimes i think about nancy wheeler so much that it's embarrassing. if someone infiltrated my mind half of it would be her !!

so true !!!! if anything, the gun is more of a physical, blatant reminder to the people around her that she's a quick thinker but knows how to defend the people she loves in the case that they can't think their way out of things. i think that if things had played out differently, if barb was killed in an ordinary way/went missing, and there was no upside down, nancy would still end up on the journalism career path, just without her guns

oh god yeah time travel and time travel adjacent things,,, that would be so cool. and terrifyingly traumatizing for all of them, but they could Definitely Go That Route. "when they defeat it and she's able to shower off all the dirt and grit and put on a newly pressed outfit and fix her makeup but even with that veneer of normalcy she can't pretend to be regular or really exist outside of a state of terror" GOD. YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. YOUR MIND !!!! that's exactly what she's doing and it kills me to a) see that they hardly explore it in canon and b) note that the fandom is seriously lacking in nancy exploration deep dive psychoanalysis content. everything that you're saying,,, literally god tier. there was a line in a fic once that was talking about how some part of nancy feels like she's only of use when this supernatural danger comes knocking and. i can definitely see that playing out. nancy being untethered, trauma preventing her from moving on (for a while, preventing her from going out and actually getting anywhere in her relationship with steve, and eventually the stagnation builds up like a dam and everything she was trying so hard to ignore comes crashing down around her), and nancy completely surrendering herself to things. grades and partying and getting into her dream college and building a future with jonathan and interning at the post and becoming a journalist and whipping the school paper into pristine shape etc etc. point being ! the only time she feels alive anymore is when she lets herself be consumed by things and pulled along with the tide, and it's in no way healthy but. when she's making plans and knowing where everyone is, when she can plot out a course of action and know that everyone can work on the same wavelength as her, that's when she's most comfortable. it's a little backwards (a little upside down lmao). and you're so right, dw it does indeed make sense!! i would love to spend hours just,, observing nancy wheeler. picking her brain and whatnot

ROBIN CAMEOS IN THE SPINOFF UNTIL ONE EPISODE SHE BECOMES A REGULAR CHARACTER AND THEN NANCY'S LIKE WELL IT'S HONESTLY MORE CONVENIENT IF YOU JUST TRAVEL WITH ME YKNOW. RENT AND GAS MONEY AND PHONE BILLS AND ALL THAT. i gotta admit i haven't seen x files but i shall take your word for it !!!

A FAILFAMILY THAT. THAT SUMS THEM UP SO WELL. like a. like a goddamn snowglobe,, perfect picture family stuck in a world,,, shake them up and down,, drop it on the floor pick it up they're all broken,,, drowning in their own life,, combusts and dies actually.

byler ronance found family friends to lovers not actually unrequited love angst with a happy ending !!! all the best fanfic tropes and the funniest (not really) part of it all is that they're never gonna be canon and happy... but anyways yes. nancy "smh when will my brother realize he's in love with his childhood b(s)f" wheeler -> nancy "oh. oh my god i'm in love with MY friend" wheeler character arc

HSDFHKLJDSJF YEAHHHH. ngl their energy was kinda unmatched. the monster hunting trio is a better ship/friends-but-not-"just-friends"-friends-like-it's-just-sm-deeper-than-romance name than stoncy though. i'm sorry. monster hunting champage?? i do not know what you mean but absolutely i agree <3

MHM all of them really,, how can you possibly date someone who doesn't know about all the stuff they've had to go through how could you explain that your best friend was snatched by an interdimensionally travelling monster and in the same moment, your innocence and childhood were snatched from you (and oh actually. don't like stancy but the symbolism of nancy losing her virginity at the same time she without realizing it lost her childhood through losing her childhood best friend... that was quite literally the last time she had her full-on adolescence and purity i am. not okay) and try to cover it up as my best friend died because of a chemical leak and i feel guilty and like a fundamentally bad person because of it?? so yeah. nancy and robin should date lmao

YEAH. she's so fascinating and has so many different facets and depths and everything... the most character of all time

SAME !!! and it really does help to write down all these things so they don't just float around my head and eventually break off into dust particles. I LOVE YOU AND ALL OF YOUR REPLIES AND BRILLIANCE AND EVERYTHING YOU SAY,, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE MOST RIGHT PERSON EVER

LMFAO GOD REALLY SAW THE DISASTER THAT WAS THE WHEELER FAMILY AND WENT YEAH NO THAT HAS GOTTA END. sorry holly <3 perhaps you should begin considering reverse disowning and find a more normal family before it's too late...

yes gun metaphor!!!! nancy doesnt just own guns she IS the gun!!!! i totally agree, nancy had an inquisitive quality from the start and i think her dedication to justice and curiosity are such core tenants of her. barb was maybe an inciting incident that brought them to the surface more quickly and to a higher intensity but they would've come up no matter what!!!!

"the only time she feels alive anymore is when she lets herself be consumed by things and pulled along with the tide" SCREAMING AND CRYING AT EVERYTHING YOU SAID IT'S SO TRUE it's so true!!!!!! i honestly dont even have anything to add because you the hit the nail on the head so well....im just going to be rereading that paragraph and muttering "WOW" under my breath for weeks now

what do you mean ronance isn't going canon???? LOL jk. i wish there was some brave soul who would make a 300 slide presentation about why and how ronance will be canon. i would love to be delusional about them. but also!!!! them being real genuine friends before getting together is so special too....like they're friends now but i mean friends even when the world isn't ending. both of them realizing they want to spend every day together....robin dialing nancy's number without even thinking and when nancy answers she realizes she doesn't even know what to say, she just wanted to hear her voice. that kind of comfortability that you just accidentally fall into.

HONESTLY THE RONANCE SUPERNATURAL DETECTIVE AGENCY JUST WRITES ITSELF!!!! i dont know if the x files of it all works too much, but nancy's kinda skeptical and robin believes in bigfoot so!!!!! something of a dynamic going on there

THE WHEELER FAMILY ROTATES IN MY BRAIN ON AN ENDLESS LOOP for like the opposite reason that the byers-hopper lives in my brain forever lmao the wheeler suck so much <3333 they're literally. a haunted house with a picket fence yeah.....a broken snowglobe on the ground YEAH. i cant wait for the apocalypse to disrupt the HELL out of them.

OMG I WAS JUST REFERENCING THAT ONE POST that was like "when [some ship from legends of korra] becomes canon we're popping the biggest champagne bottles" and then they didnt become canon so someone made a post that was like "for sale: [ship] bottles. never popped" LOL it'sjust funny to me the way people were sooo hyped for stoncy only for like. nothing to come out of that (we were robbed!!!) but YES i totally agree i have been so on board with the idea of all of them as friends but like friends who are all extremely obsessed with each other and see each other constantly

LITERALLYYYYY yes everything so much. especially what you said about nancy literally losing her adolescence in every way that night. i think shared experience and "being in the know" is so pivotal to so much of stranger things but especially nancy. i know i'm just retreading everything but yeah she literally has no close friends at school or anywhere!!! even her family, even mike, who she knows understands at least a little bit, she can't talk to because he was never actually in the upside down and his best friend came back.

she's like a rubik's cube that is so impossible to solve and i love that about her!!! it's so real that she has contradictions and growth and isn't as perfect as she wants herself to be AHHHHH i love love love talking about her with you<33333

I NEED TO SEE THAT WHEELER HOUSE GET SUCKED UP INTO AN UPSIDE DOWN HOLE POLTERGEIST STYLE!!!!!!!!!

ahehahejhaha a witsec!Al fic!? God that sounds like a dream come true.

I myself have a witsec!Al fic planned for later this month and I'm so excited for you writing and posting yours. Witsec!Al is something so many people talk about but hardly any fics get written about it.

I actually have many a witsec!Al fic - although only three of them are probably what I'll end up posting; the witsec al fic I've recently talked about which is a one shot (well, potentially) and the other (my personal favourite if I'm being honest, although that is more angsty than the cuteness that is the first) is a multi-chap which has one of my most FAVOURITE Al scenes I've ever wrote in it. If I'm being honest, it might be my favourite Al scene, which is saying something depending how much I adore my fic something's gone terribly wrong.

The third is one that has a lot of potential and I want to write it so bad but I can't work out certain details enough to try (and also technically can't work out what season it should be set it because I have Ideas and it depends on the angst level I want and just a whole lot of detail I need to work out but I struggle with without bouncing my ideas off who I used to do).

ALSO. so. ngl, I haven't read any fanfic that wasn't my own in literal ages for various of reasons, but I am GOING to have to keep an eye out for yours, because I LOVE witsec!Al and you are absolutely right; it IS something that gets talked about a lot, but hardly anyone actually does.

Which like, really gets me because I do truly adore witsec!al and I have wrote many a fic on it (even some technically got finished but I never posted them because I hated my writing although most of them remain unfinished because my mind is the worst and also because so many of my ideas end up being super similar and I can't pick between which idea to post because that's like choosing favourite children).

It also gets me because I just genuinely ADORE writing for and about Al. I love that man so so much and I have so many fics just based around him because I adores him so much (as @fighterkimburgess probably can testify too lmao)

ANYWAY. I am now extremely motivated to write my witsec!al fic knowing there's an audience for it beyond just me and my stupid deep love for Al and him being alive in witsec.

Thank you for asking!! <3

#ree's asks #chicago pd #alvin olinsky #thank you for asking!!#witsec!al is just so dear to me <3 #and i'm glad to know there's someone else out there who's writing a witsec!al fic

some follow-up thoughts on BnHA 306

mostly Deku angst, but also a little Baku angst (and some TodoBaku angst) mixed in for good measure. because there’s plenty of angst to go around.

1. “if I’d only been stronger...”

I’ll talk more about Deku later in this post as well, because there’s definitely plenty to talk about; this is the most character development he’s gotten in almost 200 chapters. but for starters, I want to discuss the possible parallels between Deku’s current character arc, and what is arguably the most iconic moment of angst/character development in the series.

remember how this kid, who up until this point had rarely seemed to give two fucks about the world around him, suddenly revealed that he blamed himself for being the downfall of All Might? remember how it came almost out of nowhere? how he’d been hiding it, and trying to suppress it? “but even if I try to forget... sometimes it all just comes rushing back.”

yeah. so anyway, I got to thinking -- if being the cause of one hero’s downfall could affect someone this badly, what about being responsible for the downfall of all heroes?

what if a boy who wanted nothing more than to keep people safe suddenly found himself at the epicenter of a disaster that killed hundreds, possibly even thousands of people?

now obviously, this is not the sole thing that’s troubling Deku right now; this kid has a whole array of traumas as of the War arc. like, you know it’s bad when Society As We Know It Coming To An End Partially Because Of You is the least of your problems. but still, I think this is worth bringing up, because the hero kids blaming themselves for things that aren’t their fault is hardly anything new. and yet, what with everything else that’s been going on -- all of the Todoroki drama, and Vestige revelations, and hospital antics, and political strife -- I feel like it’s easy to forget or overlook this little detail.

the fact is that AFO put this entire plan into motion solely in the hopes of finally obtaining OFA. every single thing that happened at Jakku -- Tomura powering up; Machia waking up and going on his rampage (after being ordered to do so by Tomura); and even Dabi/Touya choosing this moment to finally strike (because he knew this was when the reveal would do the maximum damage -- when people’s faith in heroes was already wavering) -- every last bit of it can ultimately be traced back to AFO’s desire to steal OFA. which, obviously, makes it AFO’s fault, not Deku’s. but then, Kamino wasn’t actually Katsuki’s fault either. it wasn’t his fault the villains went after him (but he blamed himself anyway), and it wasn’t his fault that people got hurt in the ensuing battle to save him (but he blamed himself anyway).

just. I think we’re underestimating just how strong of an impact all of this likely had on Deku. we haven’t really had the chance to see him process it yet. he’s been too busy, and there have been too many other things going on. but I’m telling you guys, that empty look in his eyes in the final page of the chapter? I can all but guarantee you that at least some of that emotional weight is coming from this.

sure would be nice if he had a friend who knew exactly what that was like, and could help him process the guilt and all of the other associated emotions, just like Deku once helped him. unfortunately I’m not so sure things will be that easy this time around. anyways though let’s move on to a couple of other thoughts and speculations.

2. “...and I bullied him.”

one of my least-favorite BnHA fanfic tropes is the one where the rest of class 1-A somehow finds out about Katsuki and Deku’s history -- i.e. that Katsuki bullied Deku throughout most of their childhood. mind you, it’s not the concept itself that I dislike; it’s mostly how it’s used. a lot of times it’s just an excuse to have all of the other kids turn on Katsuki and ostracize him; either because the author thinks that’s what he deserves, or else so that Deku can eventually come to his rescue and defend him and shame the rest of the class for not seeing how much he’s changed. either way, it’s usually pretty awkward to read, and more often than not the characters are pretty OOC (especially Ochako and Todoroki).

however! there’s a big difference between fanfic and canon, and just because I’m not a fan of this trope in the former doesn’t mean it couldn’t be executed well in the latter. and lately I’ve been thinking about this a lot. mainly for three reasons:

the recent (can we still call it recent?? well whatever) scene where Katsuki confessed to All Might that he used to bully Deku is now one of my favorite scenes in the entire series, and proof that this can be executed well.

both Todoroki and Deku have finally had their respective big secrets revealed to the rest of the class. so like, idk. feels like it just might be secret-revealing season now, you know?

and lastly, as a result of Deku’s secret about OFA finally being revealed, the rest of 1-A now either knows, or can extrapolate, that he used to be quirkless.

and from there, I feel like it’s not all that hard to put two and two together with how terrible Kacchan and Deku’s relationship was when they first started at UA. that’s not a terribly difficult puzzle to solve. so I feel like it might come out anyway, and if so, I’d prefer Bakugou telling them himself, and taking responsibility as part of his atonement process. because we know that he regrets it. we know their relationship has changed. we know that he has changed. and so I think I might like to see this.

alternately, if confessing to the entire class is too much, at the very least I could see him confessing to Shouto, because I’ve always felt like this was one of the big things that made Katsuki so resistant to letting Todoroki call him a friend. because I feel like there’s a part of Katsuki that saw the parallels between Endeavor’s abuse of Shouto and his own bullying of Deku, and thought, he wouldn’t be so quick to call me his friend if he actually knew the truth. and so there’s actually been this roadblock wedged between them this whole time that Shouto doesn’t even know about. because Shouto hates Endeavor. and so it’s not such a leap to assume he’d hate Katsuki too if he knew just how terrible he’d been to Deku when they were younger.

not that I think he actually would! actually I don’t think either of those things is actually true (because Shouto clearly doesn’t hate his father either, in spite of everything that’s happened). but the point isn’t what I think -- the point is what Katsuki thinks. and I really do think there’s a good chance he’s worried about Shouto hating him, and it’s one of the things that’s made him so reluctant to accept his friendship. anyway, so I’m really just rambling now, but you get my point. I don’t know if this is actually going to happen, but it’s a scene I would like to see if Horikoshi decides to indulge me.

3. “...so when you wake up, please give him my best.”

and now, as promised, back to Deku.

ngl guys, when I first saw this image, my immediate thought was that Gran must have died. because I mean, hello, leaving U.A.?? donning himself in his teacher’s old cape?? empty, exhausted look in his eyes?? what else were we supposed to think lol.

but maybe that was an overreaction. because when I think about it more, Gran’s death isn’t strictly necessary in order to push Deku over the edge. first of all, there’s already the whole “hero society is in ruins now because of you” thing I mentioned earlier. but also, there are just so many other things. like, let’s just list them here because omg. what a rough couple of days this kid had.

he was forced to battle TomurAFO and was terribly injured in the process (most of which was his own fault, but he wouldn’t have gone that far with OFA unless he felt like he had no choice)

and it wasn’t just him that was injured, either. in fact, even though he tried to act as bait to keep everyone else safe, he wasn’t able to stop three of the people closest to him from nearly being killed right before his eyes

and of course that last one was especially traumatic, because it was Kacchan, and because he had to watch Kacchan nearly die just to protect him. out of all the things that Deku witnessed in this arc, this might be the one that had the biggest impact on him

he was also basically helpless to do anything to protect Shouto and Endeavor when Dabi showed up. so again, we have this running theme of people he cares about being hurt and him not being able to save them

and he also got sucked into the OFA Interstellar Dream Vortex for a brief spell during the battle, during which he learned that AFO had possessed Tomura. more importantly, he learned that Tomura was Nana’s grandson, a fact which was only briefly touched on during that scene, but which I think wound up being the trigger to the whole avalanche that ended with Deku leaving UA. but more on that in a moment

anyway so just to wrap this all up, the battle eventually ended, Tomura got away despite all of their efforts, and then Deku wound up comatose in the hospital for two days. which brings us to the most recent chapters, during which

Deku learns that he will be the last wielder of OFA, whether he likes or not

Deku learns the identity of the last two mystery OFA users

and then at some point, he wakes up and presumably talks to Gran, and winds up with his cape

something happened during these last two scenes which helped to push Deku over the edge. I won’t delve into the matter of the Second or Third users for now, although most of you already know my suspicions regarding that, and I do think that would fit into the general pattern here (that is, the pattern of Deku feeling more and more strongly that he is putting the people around him in danger, and his fear of losing them becoming so overwhelming that it eventually pushes him to leave).

but that’s not what I want to talk about for now. what I want to talk about is Gran. specifically, what it is that Deku discussed with Gran. and this is where we come back to that reveal I mentioned earlier -- that Tomura is Nana’s grandchild.

basically, what I think happened is that Deku mentioned seeing Nana in the OFA Zany Psychedelic Spirit Void, which led to the topic of Tomura, and the fun fact Deku recently learned about him being related to Nana. this, in turn leads to Gran divulging his various regrets about everything that happened with him and Nana and Kotarou. his intent is to apologize to Deku for placing the burden of their failures on him. unfortunately, the part that Deku actually gets fixated on instead is this:

All for One hunted down and killed Nana’s son (and probably her husband as well), and stole her grandchild and psychologically tortured him into becoming a mass murderer, for no other reason than that Nana had once held OFA

in other words, AFO can and will hurt and kill anyone Deku is close to, anyone who has any kind of connection to him at all, without mercy, and regardless of whether it actually gives him any kind of tactical advantage or not. he’ll do it simply to hurt him. no other reason necessary.

I don’t know about you, but for me that would be a terrifying realization. and for Deku, I think it just might have been the tipping point.

so, let’s recap.

Deku learns that AFO is after him

AFO/Tomura very nearly kills several of Deku’s most important people, including Kacchan

and then he learns that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and realizes that all of their lives are still in danger and will continue to be as long as Deku is AFO’s target

and then add to all of this the misplaced guilt about society already being shambles, and the heroes already having more than enough to worry about. they’re barely holding things together as it is. and we already know how Deku feels about being a burden to them:

and so instead, he leaves. of course he does. in hindsight, I think this was inevitable.

the question is, did anyone else also put the pieces together in time to realize what Deku was planning before he actually left? specifically, did Katsuki, who understands Deku’s self-sacrificial nature better than anyone else, see the signs and put two and two together? like he did back at Jakku?

and if he did, would Deku have been willing to accept his help again?

somehow, I can’t help but think it might not be that easy this time.

anyway, so that was a lot of rambling, lol. sorry about that. I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS about all of this angsty shit. tired nomad Deku needs hugs and comfort and someone to reassure him that he doesn’t have to face this alone, and that everything is going to be all right. HE IS JUST A LITTLE BOY. this is too much, and I cannot handle any of these feels, and oh my god, somebody please help him.

Okay so obviously you don't need to do this if you don't want to but i thought it might be fun for you to write a fanfic of your favorite slasher and use whatever you feel well listening to this song as like the kinda theme?

https://youtu.be/KqFTPYDASBI

(Two feet-i feel like im drowning)

Fvcked Up | Charles Lee Ray/Chucky x GenderNeutral!Reader

This was super interesting, thank you so much for this request! Gosh! <3 Also, when you said Favourite Slasher, it had to be Chucky, of course. He is my favourite after all, but damn, his human version is quite difficult to write for, ngl. I just feel like Charles and Chucky are two different people in a way; because Charles lost a lot of his humanity by being a doll (which makes sense, duh; but it's quite striking to me and stood out even more when I tried to find this sweet balance between the two, so as to not mischaracterise him). Anyway! I hope you enjoy what I've come up with. This song just screamed Toxic Relationship in my face, so-

summary; Charles is out a lot at night and it worries you. One time you stay up and find out just what exactly he's been up to and it certainly surprises you in multiple ways.

notes; GenderNeutral!Reader; Toxic Relationship; Strangulation/Choking; Background Murders; Morally Ambiguous!Reader; Anxiety; Cheating Mentions; Plays more in Present Time.

Reblogs > Likes. Thank you!

When you first met him, you felt instantly drawn to him. You couldn’t tell why – and frankly, you didn’t care. All you cared about was being with him, no matter what.

Of course, when that desire was being fulfilled, you couldn’t really believe your luck at all. This handsome, fascinating man liked you and wanted you as much as you did him? It was a dream come true!

For the longest time, you didn’t even notice anything off about him at all. He’s always been a little mysterious to you and that was something you actually really enjoyed about being with him.

Yet your friends would always tell you that he was bad news and you should end it before it got too serious, but you never once listened to them. They didn’t know him like you did. Their first impression of him was all wrong. Their intuition was wrong.

Or was it?

Sure, you had to admit that Charles had quite the temper; but he never let it out on you. He never hurt you. Sometimes, he would yell, of course it happened; but he always went out and came back, fully relaxed and normal, even apologising for lashing out on you. So, naturally you didn’t dwell on it. Why should you when most of the time, he treated you like nobody else ever has?

This relationship fulfilled you. It made you happy. It made you feel like you were loveable after all. It made you feel complete.

Still, there were times that you questioned everything. Usually, it was in those nights – after you had moved in together – when Chucky would stay out far longer than he was supposed to. First, you would get worried that something had happened to him, but when he returns home eventually; you merely feel anxious over the fact that he could be cheating on you. What else should he have been up to, late at night and not returning any of your calls and messages, after all?

Not all too long into it all, you found out what the real reason for his absence was.

Determined, you had stayed up and waited for him to come home, when you usually went to bed and woke up once he lay down next to you.

Once he came through the door and saw you sitting on the couch in the living room, he stopped short. You looked at each other for a few tense seconds. While that had been going on, you noticed how his expression was pretty dazed – for the lack of a better word – and he was sporting this kind of grin that wasn’t like any of those you’d seen on him before. It all had an unpleasant shiver run down your spine.

“Where have you been?” you asked eventually, breaking this charged silence between you two.

“Went for a walk,” he replied roughly.

“Chucky,” you sighed and gotten up, “Be honest with me. Please. You’re gone for the night so often. I’m just worried, y’know?”

“There’s nothing to worry about.”

Gently, but almost cautiously, you took his hands into yours and looked him in the eyes, “Please tell me the truth.”

Heaving a heavy sigh, he held onto one of your hands, but let go of the other as he raised his right one. Then, he touched your neck, grazing his thumb over your throat. His eyes followed the movement, seemingly getting lost in it all.

“Charles, my love?” It was barely above a whisper.

He hummed thoughtfully, tightening his grip around your neck for a moment, startling you.

At that point, you started to feel anxious. This wasn’t like him at all.

Or was it?

Have you just never noticed it before, blinded by your love for him, whereas all your friends – who had no longer been your friends, then – knew exactly what was hidden underneath his façade?

Your mind was reeling, making you feel dizzy.

Although, perhaps it was also the lack of oxygen when you realised that his grip had tightened once more, putting pressure on your windpipe with both of his thumbs – and when did he even add his other hand?

Instinctively, you raised your own hands and wrapped them around his wrists, trying to loosen his grip around you.

When you looked him in the eyes, he had fixed such an intense gaze on you.

Once more, shivers ran down your spine. This time, you couldn’t tell if they were unpleasant or not. Something about it just intrigued you, despite the fact that your life was in immediate danger. Was it the fact that you were in love with him? Most likely; although you wondered if this shouldn’t have given you some clarity. Maybe that, too, was only a myth.

“Chucky,” you choked out, almost wordlessly, but you tried anyway.

That seemed to have done the job, though, as he suddenly snapped out of it and let go of you all too suddenly.

Gasping for air, your hands flew up to your neck, cradling it, while you gulped down breath after breath, holding onto your lifeline with utter desperation.

“Fuck. I didn’t mean to-,” Charles started saying, seeming frantic, but stopped himself, running his hands through his long hair.

“What the actual fuck?” you rasped out between heavy breaths.

“I’m the Lakeshore Strangler,” he confessed in a rush, shocking you to your very core.

Despite it all, you couldn’t help but laugh, “Fuck! I thought you were cheating on me, but all this time you’ve been murdering people? This is- This is fucking ridiculous, Chucky!”

“Are you fucking laughing at me?”

“Not at you. Just how ridiculous this situation is because my worst fear was that you found someone better than me,” you said, quickly sobering up, “I mean, I guess you did find something better than me at least.”

“That’s not true,” he admitted softly, making your heart skip a beat, despite the fact that he could have almost killed you, then.

“Oh? Then why did you almost make me one of your victims just now?” you asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

Why aren’t you running?, you thought to yourself.

“I’m sorry about that. It just happened! I was panicking, okay?”

“Well, I hope that was the last time you did that,” you said, taking a step towards him again, since this incident had put some distance between you two.

“I promise,” he said; and even though alarm bells rang through your mind, you believed him.

“Okay, then.”

Wrapping your arms around his waist, you tilted your head and leaned forward, intending to kiss him. Your lips were only millimetres apart, brushing against each other.

“You’re not leaving?” he asked quietly.

“I love you, Chucky,” you responded - as though that was answer enough - and kissed him, putting all the passion you felt for him into it.

In the back of your mind, you truly wondered just why you weren’t packing your things and getting the fuck out of there; but it felt wrong to do so. Just thinking about it made you feel sick. You loved him and you wanted to be with him. Apparently the fact that he stole other people’s life didn’t deter you from staying with him, then.

Still, from that night forward, you noted a shift in your relationship.

On one hand, he was less mysterious now; and on the other hand, everything made a whole lot more sense, but also made you more aware of certain issues with what you two had.

By all means, you certainly knew by then that your relationship was everything but healthy.

Sometimes, you felt ashamed of the fact that you didn’t leave him or rat him out to the cops; that you allowed more people to die through your partner’s hands that would touch you in the same night with tenderness and passion – with desire.

Despite your best instincts and knowledge, you knew you would stay with him until the very end, whatever that may look like then – although your money was on the fact that you’d die on his hands, just like so many others.

After all, you deserved it, didn’t you?

OK I JUST WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND MY DREAM WAS REALLY WEIRD AND IT GAVE ME AN INSTANT GOOD KUSH AU—

Ok so— Mermaid and Pirate Au.

BUT—!

mermaids are the size of their fish genetic ×2.

If you're mixed with an angel fish you are the size of a human child when you become adult.

Sharks mixed genetics makes one the size of a average boat, bigger than humans.

Mermaids are mixed with fish genetics ×2 while sirens have simple but colorful tails only (and they're the size of a average human)

Ok now Imagine this—

Whale shark! Mer! Izuku x Pirate! Katsuki

Whale sharks are known to be the most largest sea creature in the ocean, imagine a mermaid twice that size LMAO.

Ok so whale sharks can be the size of a large koi fish when their babies so Izuku would look like an average baby mermaid, he sometimes get mistaken as a siren as a child. (Also a whale shark is very fitting for Izuku coz of— y'know, the dots on the whale sharks.)

Ok BACKSTORY—

Izuku likes to swim near boats as a kid.

Katsuki was born in the ocean, on the boat he was standing on coz both of his parents were pirates too (not mitsuki and masaru, I don't think they're good parents ngl.)

He also wants to be captain one day, leading the best ship and the best crew and all that jazz like his parents, like the legendary pirate who had crossed the 7 seas and lived, All Might.

He was kind of Isolated bcz they were always at sea but he was a pretty smart kid and his parent's crew were nice (ft. The whole UA staff coz why not—)

While Izuku's mom told him that he shouldn't ever go near a island coz Izuku's mom is really big and she could easily be spotted so they stayed in the deep waters. (Aka where the Illuminati thing kinda is, but we'll just call it the 7 seas mmk)

But Izuku is a very curious child, he follows is mother's rule ofc but she never told him to stay away from ships nearby.

So when he saw this really big ship, he was amazed by it. He followed the ship when they steered their sails for a few days, he's still close to his mama so it's ok.

Katsuki notices some kind of thing following their ship for the a while now, even as a child he's pretty sharp. So one night he decided to sneak out of his chambers to the edge of the boat to see if the thing is still there.

He looked down and saw a pair of green glowing eyes. He froze, he didn't what they were, they might be a siren from the books he had read but siren's eyes don't glow. And the creature hasn't even sung yet.

So he decided to approach it.

Izuku was surprised. He had seen this small blond human on the ship lot's of times during the day. He was small. Like him! He wondered if they would make good friends?

And when Katsuki finds out that Izuku was not a siren he was relieved,so when they started talking he was surprised of the amount of human words Izuku's knows (wonder who taught Izuku that—*cough* all might *cough*), but as much as Izuku's human speaking is pretty good it's not enough to make a conversation. So every night, Katsuki sneaks out and hangs with Izuku and taught him how to speak like a human and read human books.

4 weeks, nearing the end of the 7 seas after going around it (no one has ever gone through it without surviving, except all might)

Izuku had learned alot, he could read and speak human! Although not perfect but still can pass! But he's sad now coz he can't come with Katsuki, he had to stay close to his pod with his mom.

Katsuki was devastated when he heard this from his (one and only) fish crush friend, he promised that when he grows up, he'd be the best pirate of all time and he would be the next to cross the 7 seas without going around it and meet up with Deku (that was the closest thing Izuku could pronounce his name in human rather than mer tongue) and go on adventures with him.

Izuku, who cried, promise to stay in the 7 seas and wait for Kacchan (again, hard to pronounce words with Izuku's sharp teeth) to come back. So they pinky promised it and pulled each other close.

Nobody would believe a child when they say that they'd seen a mermaid every night while out in the 7 seas. No one would believe Katsuki when he'd say that he had his first kiss with a fish.

Ok so TIME SKIP.

Katsuki became a really well known pirate in all the ocean. He became the new captain on his parent's ship and improved it. He found a good trusting crew who were very skilled at what they do. (Ft. The whole class 1-A with Shinsou coz why not)

He'd found lot's of treasure and gave it to the poor people on islands. Fought a couple of high ranked bad villains of the sea. To the kingdom's rules around, he was a pirate. But to everyone, he was a hero.

So when the time came, he kind of forgotten his promise to Izuku and thought of those times with Izuku were very wistful dreams.

When his ship came close to the 7seas he decided to go through it like all might and to be the best. Ofc the crew was anxious but they trusted their captain.

But when they reached the one half of it, there were really big waves, everyone panicked. Trying to turn around. Katsuki held the steering wheel tight, trying to turn the ship around. Everyone was running around doing whatever they can to make the sails go to the opposite direction.

Then suddenly.

There was a huge spash.

And a very big shadow wad towering down ship.

Everyone slowly looked up and saw.

The most biggest person (?) They had ever seen.

It had dark-green hair with very round equally green eyes, lot's of freckles spreading on it's upper body, and it had a mouth with very sharp teeth.

A mouth that was smiling.

Like and Angel.

Katsuki became breathless.

The creature looked so familiar, just like—

"...Deku..?"

The creature laughed, eyes twinkled with excitement, it swam really fast to somewhere fast and flipped himself like a dolphin. the pirates looked at him in awe.

"Kacchan! Kacchan came back!" The creature swam back to it's original position near the ship and grabbed Katsuki by the back hem of his shirt, lifting him up the ship.

There were surprised and panicked sounds coming from the crew but Katsuki held his hands up, signaling to stop. Never looking away from Izuku.

Izuku placed Katsuki into one of his very large hands and held him up to his face. Katsuki reached out his arms and touched Izuku's nose.

"you... Fucking dumbass,... How did you get so big?!?" Katsuki exclaimed with pretend anger, not that it was convincing, his face had a smile threatening to break, he slapped Izuku's nose with not force.

Izuku giggled and kissed Katsuki all over his face. (Which. His lips are already all over Katsuki's face LMAO)

"I missed you Kacchan." Izuku smiled, "I love you."

Katsuki blushed and grumbled. Forcefully grabbing what he can on Izuku's cheeks and kissed him on the nose, muttering "I love you too..."

The crew from below the ship were confused, awe and low-key scared by this.

"Uh." Denki said dumbly.

Kirishima whistled "wow. Who knew Bakugro had a lover."

"Hah, a fish none the less too, no judgement though." Kyouka snorted.

"well I think they look cute together!" Ochako exclaimed.

"maybe this is why Bakugou wanted to cross the 7 seas? To see his one true love once again~." Sero said, while still looking at the huge ass fish carrying their captain.

"Uh." Kaminari said dumbly. Again.
