Allow me, lovelies, to share this beauty of a Clark Kent look-alike who may as well be a brooding melancholic romantic from the mid-19th century đ¤¤

_________________________________________
**Seven Months Later**
âAzriel,â you sing-song, bursting in through the open front door to their house.Â
At the end of the spring semester Azrielâs father had bought 3rd Street apartments, and none of you had renewed your leases. His father hadnât even tried to convince him to stay, but that didnât matter to Azriel. The only thing that any of the five of you seemed to care about was that youâd no longer be living next to each other come summer.
Azriel, Rhysand, and Cassian had found a house to rent on the outskirts of campus. Of course, the place is gorgeous, a modern number that looks like it costs more than Rhysand is making it out to be. Heâd been adamant about the three of them staying together, no matter what, and heâd tried to convince you and Feyre to move into another apartment nearby, but it wasnât the right fit for either of you.Â
You wanted something more homey than the new building, something walkable since you nor Feyre have cars. You already miss your old apartment dearly, saddened by what Azrielâs father is going to make it into. Sure, the elevator was a death trap that stuck, and sure, the walls were thinner than paper, but it was home, where youâd found love with your grumpy next door neighbor, though youâre sure in Azrielâs version of the story you were the grumpy one.Â
The five of you had spent your last night at the building together, drinking and eating your heart content in waffles and ice cream from Ritaâs. It was the perfect last night to end your time in the building, but also the semester. You passed your Drawing 101 final with flying colors, the half swan portrait you drew was something youâd never thought youâd be able to finish. Now, itâs one of your most treasured artworks.Â
Youâd chosen the swan because of their representation of the awakening of the power of self and self-esteem. When youâd started the semester youâd been unsure of your ability in the creative world, but after hearing the stories of so many around you, Azrielâs included, it awakened your inner artist, and your work only grows more confident by the day.
Youâd also chosen to morph yourself with the swan because of their grace. Grace in dealing with others; Azrielâs gnarly attitude, Cassianâs cheekiness, Rhysandâs cockiness, Lucienâs snark, and Feyreâs hidden relationship, which didnât last long, but still hurt your friendship.
Youâve come a long way since then, and are now in love with the neighbor that had been a thorn in your side for months. Azriel is as sweet as ever now, though he still distracts you from your work these days, but itâs no longer with rowdy music.
You turn towards the living room where you hear Azriel calling your name. You come to a screeching half at the sight of him and Cassian, chests bare as they carry a couch between them, moving further into the room.Â
Your eyes zero in on Azriel, his tan chest glistening with effort. Itâs move in day for them and theyâve been carrying boxes from 3rd Street apartments all morning. He looks godly in the light spilling in through the large glass windows overlooking the yard. The parties at this place are going to be insane this year, of that you know. Itâs all Cassian has talked about since theyâd signed the lease, commenting how their housewarming party is going to rival that of Project X.Â
âHey, princess,â Azriel winks at your wandering eyes and you can only beam. So what if heâs caught you admiring his chiseled torso? Heâs all yours and you can stare if you please. Although, the sudden dampness between your legs has you shifting on your feet, Azrielâs smirk widening.Â
âCan you two stop eye-fucking for one minute?â Cassian groans dramatically, acting like heâs struggling under the weight of the couch. You and Azriel both roll your eyes at the same time, which makes you burst into giggles. âThis thing is fucking heavy.âÂ
âAll right, letâs put it over here,â Azriel directs, guiding them a few more feet into the room. They place it in front of the giant TV Rhysand splurged one, and you know movie nights are going to be great in here. Itâll be just like youâre at a movie theater, without all of the extra bodies.Â
You and Azriel still have yet to break in the couch, often choosing the privacy of his bedroom (as much as the thin walls give you) over the common rooms he shares with his roommates.
Speaking of, thereâs a thump coming from upstairs and the sound of Feyreâs laughter drifting down the staircase. So maybe this new house isnât that much more private than your old apartment.
As soon as he puts his end of the couch down youâre flinging yourself into his arms, wrapping your arms around his neck. Azriel laughs and swings you around before planting your feet back on the ground and leaning over to kiss you silly.Â
The flooding warmth throughout your body only intensifies as he steps closer, pressing his body into yours and rolling his hips a little, allowing you to feel his interested cock in his pants.Â
âHi,â you grin when you part.
Azrielâs gold eyes glitter with amusement. âHi, princess. How is your morning?âÂ
Your hands snake down his chest, brushing over his nipples as you go. You donât miss his reaction to your touch and it makes you giddy all over again. Hooking your fingers into the waistband of his pants, your smile turns sultry, watching his eyes darken. âMuch better now.âÂ
âIs that so?â Azriel quirks an eyebrow. He looks like heâs two seconds away from dragging you upstairs to his new room and breaking it in. You wouldnât mind that one bit. âDo I want to know why youâre this cheery this early in the morning?â
âYou already know,â you beam, rolling onto the tips of your toes to kiss him on the nose. When you try to pull away Azriel growls, tightening his grip on you.Â
âYou canât say that and not want me to fuck you, princess,â he says roughly, leaning down to whisper in your ear. His breath is hot across the shell and you shudder in his arms, eyelashes fluttering at his words. You have to swallow back the moan threatening to escape.
You startle at the sound of a loud crash, turning to see Cassian all but glaring at the two of you, having just dropped a box of books to the ground purposefully.Â
âI thought we were supposed to be moving,â Cassian tosses over his shoulder and yells up the stairs, âI canât have both roommates fucking already. Thereâs still so much shit to move!â
âIâm coming,â Rhysand yells back and you crinkle your nose.
âEw.âÂ
It makes Cassian crack, a smile twitching at his lips. He has his hands on his hips and is still staring at you and Azriel in a false stern manner. âI knew I made a good decision to befriend you, (Y/N).â
âMore like forced yourself into my life,â you grumble playfully, following him out to his Bronco, stuffed full with boxes.
âJust for that, Iâm giving you a heavy box,â he teases right back, but he wasnât kidding because your breath is nearly knocked from your chest when he hands you one. Itâs falsely labeled âAzâs roomâ on it because it feels like thereâs a pile of bricks in it.Â
Azriel glares at his roommate as he rids you of the heavy box. You give him a smile in thanks, sneakily sliding out a box labeled âcouch pillowsâ instead. It takes you back to the day that you and Feyre moved into your last apartment, how the living room box had been the last one youâd brought inside before your very firstâand terribleârun in with Azriel.
The smile you wander inside with is a nostalgic one.
â
â˘â
â°âââ˝ŕźâžâââąâ
â˘
âAre you ready?âÂ
âYes!â
âThen why are you acting like Iâve already put the needle to your skin?â Azriel argues, sitting back in his chair.
Youâre laid up on the table, shirt pulled up to your neck, waiting for Azriel to put the tattoo gun to your skin. You keep squirming, not quite comfortable on the cold table top, but itâs the best he can do while heâs still waiting to hear back about his apprenticeship he interviewed for last week. Itâs been a few long, grueling days, and you thought youâd distract him by finally allowing him to give you your first tattoo. It had taken you months to decide, and Azriel hadnât pushed you once about the matter, no matter how badly heâd wanted to put ink on your skin.
Now, the sound of the gun is making you rethink your decision.
You sigh loudly and Azriel shuts the gun off, placing it on the table. He rips the gloves from his hands and helps you sit up, guiding your shirt back into place.
âMaybe we should wait,â he suggests softly, though you can see the hurt in his eyes.
Itâs not that you donât trust him. No, you trust Azriel with your life. Itâs that youâre overthinking the design youâd thought you wanted so badly.Â
âI want one,â you huff, sadly, âBut I donât think this is the one.â
Azriel soothes his hands up your thighs. âThatâs okay, princess. Thereâs no rush. You donât even have to get one, if you donât want to.âÂ
âI do,â you whine in frustration. You had it planned for weeks, this idea, and nowâŚyou just canât go through with it. It doesnât feel right.Â
You slide off of the table into Azrielâs lap, resting your head against his chest as he holds you tight. You let the soothing beat of his heart calm you down, the running of his hands up and down your back a relaxing gesture. It makes your heart swell, with the amount of love that you have for him.Â
Azriel brushes some hair away from your face when you pull back. Heâs studying you with those intense golden eyes youâve come to adore. You can read everything in those eyes; his annoyance, his happiness, his anger, his lust, even his feelings for you, but right now, youâre not all too confident in what heâs thinking.
âI want to show you something,â he murmurs softly and you frown.
âOkay,â you answer tentatively, but his hand is sure in yours as he laces your fingers together after helping you off his lap.Â
He guides you up the stairs and into his room.
âAzriel,â you tease, âI already know this room too well,â you say, alluding to his first night in the house where he fucked you over every surface in his room. It was pure bliss, one of the best nights youâve shared.
Azriel puffs a breathy laugh and guides you to sit on the edge of his bed. You follow his instructions with obedience, covering your eyes when he tells you.
He waves a hand in front of your face to make sure youâre not looking. âHow many fingers am I holding up?â
âUm,â your lips turn into the cutest pout when you think. âTwo?â
Heâs holding up none but he grumbles. âI was thinking two.âÂ
You bounce giddily on the edge of his bed and his cock twitches as he thinks of you bouncing on his cock just like that.Â
âEasy, princess.âÂ
You stop your bouncing but not your grinning.
Azriel strides over to his closet, pulling out the canvas heâs been working on, when you arenât around, of course. Well, he only dares pull it out around you when youâre fast asleep in his bed. Itâs consumed him day and night, and finally, his masterpiece is finished.
âWhat is it?â you ask giddily, unable to rein in your excitement or the butterflies in your stomach.
You hear Azrielâs laughter as he moves closer. âIf I told you, that would defeat the whole purpose of me asking you to close your eyes, princess,â he tuts and you swear you can hear him rolling his eyes. âBut you can open them now, Miss Impatient.â
âThatâs my middle nameââ your words stick to your throat as you stare at the canvas heâs holding in front of you.Â
Youâre in awe, struck by the lines so confidently drawn. Youâre transported back to the night of his exhibition, when heâd shown you the blackest parts of his soul, put on canvas.Â
Similarly to the centerpiece of the show, the charcoal drawing he has in front of you are two hands intertwined. His, with his rough scars, clutching tightly to a flawless hand, a feminine hand.Â
Your hand.Â
Azriel shifts nervously on his feet. All youâre doing is staring, open-mouthed, and heâd normally take that as a good sign, but when tears well your eyes his heart pinches in his chest.
âItâs,â you choke, pressing a hand to your aching heart. âItâs so beautiful, Azriel.â
He breathes out a sigh of relief, only managing to move the canvas out of the way when you launch yourself into his arms, sobbing into his chest. He leans it against the edge of his bed and tucks you tightly into his arms, pressing soft kisses to your forehead.Â
âShhh, princess. Iâm sorry, I didnât mean to make you cry.âÂ
âIâm crying because itâs perfect,â you pull away and heâs wiping softly at your cheeks. Your eyes are red-rimmed and he hates that but he loves the way it makes your eyes pop. He studies them for a little longer, committing it to memory, something to sketch for later. âYouâre perfect. And IâI love you.âÂ
His attention snaps onto your words, holding onto them like they could slip away like a shadow. You havenât said that before, neither have you. And heâs been wanting to say it for so long now, was going to so many times but it never felt like the right moment.Â
And itâs now that he realizes that there was never going to be a better moment than any of the times his lips formed the words, only for nothing to come out. He shouldâve said it when he felt it because he knows you donât care about the moment being this perfect thing, for fucks sake youâre crying in his arms right now and youâre telling him that you love him for the first time.Â
He is such an idiot sometimes.
âI love you too, princess,â he admits in a rasp, throat thick with the words. Heâs never felt something this strongly for someone before. He wants to be around you all of the time, wants to hold you and touch you and taste you. You consume him, mind, body, and soul.
Youâre there, tattooed on his fucking soul, inked in the love he hadnât known he was missing until you met. The darkness that consumed him was a starless sky, a void waiting to be filled. You. You are the moon and the stars lighting him up, brightening his days.
He fucking loves you. So, so much.
âYeah?â you ask, your soft crying turns to happy tears, ones he canât help but to kiss as they roll down their cheeks. âYou love me?âÂ
âI love you, (Y/N),â Azriel says, âI think maybe I always have.âÂ
âThatâs so not true,â you laugh wetly, trying to swat at his chest. Azriel catches your hand in his and kisses your palm, golden eyes gleaming.
âOkay,â he concedes with a grin, âMaybe not always, but for a long time now.âÂ
You shake your head fondly. Your eyes dart away from him in your sudden nervousness. âAz?âÂ
âYeah, princess?âÂ
You look at the picture once more, admiring it. Itâs utterly perfect, just like him.Â
Pointing at it, you say, âThat. I want that as my first tattoo.â
Azriel stares, shocked. âAre you sure? You know Iâll give you any tattoo that you want, but I need you to be one hundred percent positive. I donât want you to regret anything.â
âI wonât,â you shake your head in disagreement and the softness in his eyes makes your heart swell. He looks like he canât believe youâre real and youâre his. Youâll make him believe it and more. Later, you want to hear him say those three magical words while heâs pinning you to his sheets. Now, you want a tattoo. âThis has to be the tattoo, Az. Itâs us. I want us.â
He kisses you firmly on the mouth. Desperate.
âI want us too.âÂ
âThen letâs do this thing, Az. Iâm ready.â

Characters: Kurapika Kurta, Chrollo Lucilfer
Type: Fluff, Headcanons, Gn!reader
my wifi is down until monday so i gotta write from my phone đ also kinda short sry >_<
Warnings: None
Kurapika Kurta
when he first sees you with the sketchbook he keeps note of the fact you like to draw
he likes to pay attention to your interests, maybe he could gift you some new pencils or something at some point
he won't pressure you to show him whats in it but he'll get curious eventually and ask
if you show him the drawings willingly and proudly he's going to be extremely flustered
you drew him? on your own will?? and you're proud of it!????!!?
he's bright red and stammers out a compliment on your skills
if you happen to leave your sketchbook open somewhere where he can see it?
he feels a little bad for looking and invading your privacy
but he just cant help it, it's sitting right there
after seeing the first 2 drawings of himself he cant help but flip through it
surprise surprise, there's more
eventually he gets embarrassed and shuts the sketchbook
he wouldn't bring it up to you he's just too flustered about it
he really does appreciate it though
he didn't think anyone would care that much about him to turn him into their muse :(
Chrollo Lucilfer
oh boy
i think him finding out you have a sketchbook full of him would just inflate his ego
he's so smug about it
he probably caught you in the act, sneaking up behind you and peeking over your shoulder
"if you needed a model you should've just asked"
he asks to see all of the drawings and offers to pose for you the next time you decide to draw him
while flipping through the pages he lets out a laugh of endearment
he thinks you're just the cutest thing ever, doting on him like that
he would steal you the finest art supplies he can get his hands on
probably offered to be a nude model for you a few times đ
let's pretend he has a house or you guys live together
if you give him any of your artworks he would def frame them and put them up around the house
he enjoys art and believes your talent should be showcased

Kissing you is his favorite pastime. On the lips, on your cheeks, neckâeverywhere and anywhere you'll let him. He loves how squeamish it makes you. Out of all the times Jungkook's kissed you, his favorite will always be the first time in that tiny art studio of yours at your old apartment.
You didn't have much living space but you made do with what you had. And what you had was one extra room near the laundry machines.
He'll always remember how gentle your lips were against his that night. Warm as well, yet reserved. You made his whole body come to life in the most unexplainable ways.
4 years agoâ
Jungkook slouches on the stool with a pout on his face and a paintbrush spinning between his fingers. This is the third time he's called you over in the last ten minutes. You've told him repeatedly that painting takes patience but it doesn't seem to make him feel any better about his artwork.
"Can you come look at this __? I don't think this is coming out the way it's supposed to be."
"Here," you set your drawing pencils on your own art desk and circle around to him, "let me see."
Jungkook scootches his stool to the side, allowing you to peer over his shoulder.
"To start, youâre using too much water if your paper is peeling and curling this much. I'd give it a few minutes before doing anything more on it. Secondly, you have water bubbles."
You reach for the blue painting sponge next to him and hold it up as if showcasing it off.
"This is going to be your best friend. It absorbs liquid so if you gently dab areas with excess water, it'll take all that water away." You demonstrate for him then hand the sponge to him. "Give it a try."
"OkayâŚ" He takes it from you and mirrors your movements. "Isn't this called watercolor painting though? How can I be using too much water?"
You shrug. "Because it's like anything. You need to find the right balance between the paint and water or else it'll make your strokes messy. Control the need to soak your brush."
"But I like soaking my brush," he says, tongue in cheek.
"I'm going to ignore that you said that."
"You said it first."
"Not like you meant it, I didn't."
Jungkook smiles and continues dabbing his painting.
"You're pressing a little too hard Kook. The paint's smudging," you warn as he attempts to clean up the extra water spillage.
"Hm?" He doesn't seem to understand what you mean.
"It's like this," you say, carefully closing a hand over his knuckles. Jungkook's hand goes limp in yours as you guide his movements across the water bubbles. "See, the water's gone now."
When you gaze down at him, he's not paying attention to the artwork at all but to you instead.
"Someone I'm hoping to call my girlfriend soon," he mumbles back and you release your hold from his hand.
"Jungkook?" He feels you tense under his stare, eyes restlessly shifting back and forth. "What are you looking at?"
"Oh, well, umâ" your mind races with what to respond. Up until now, youâve been seeing each other for a month but no labels have been placed on your relationship yet.
"I'd really like to know what it'd be like to kiss you too.â He sets the sponge on the table and slowly leans forward to rise from his seat.
Naturally, you step backward but forget about the second art table set up directly behind you. Your hands grip the edges at the sudden contact on your backside.
"I'm sorry," he says. "I don't mean to make you feel pressured." His fingers reach out to lightly rest on your trembling hands. âIâve just been having the best time getting to know you this past month and Iâd like it if we could keep going outâŚas a couple.â
âIâd like that too.â You swallow thickly. âI think you caught me off guard but yeah, letâs make this official. And also, if you want, we canâkiss."
"Are you sure?" He needs to know he heard right, careful not to jump the gun. âReally sure?â
"Yes. Please kiss me.â
With your consent, Jungkook grips your hands tighter and closes his mouth over your lips. They're sweet and taste a bit like peppermint from the candy you ate earlier. He moves slowly at first, tongue swiping across the seam of your lips every now and then until you let him in.
"Jungâ" you breathe a small moan yet it's only when you break apart that you're able to finish saying his name. ââKook.â
"I liked that," he says, a smile on his face. "Any chance we can do it again?"
You nod and lean forward to kiss him again. This time firmer, holding back nothing.
Presentâ
"Honey, you should go back to bed for a bit. Get some more sleep." You watch your husband button up his navy blue dress shirt in the mirror. Today's the day he has to return to the university for the new academic year and he needs to be out the door within the next ten minutes.
"I have to get used to you leaving before me," you yawn. "I'll miss you."
Jungkook runs his fingers through his damp hair, fluffing it up some before striding over to your lounged position on the bed.
"Me too. I'm going to be thinking of you all day." He bends down to peck your lips. When he does, you take in the scent of his aftershaveâOld Spice. "I'll see you when we get home, okay?"
You nod. "You home at 4 tonight?"
"Plus traffic so 4:30 at the latest.â
"Okay, I should get home at 5:15. Mondays are a bit hectic so it might be later. I'll text you."
He gives you another kiss, longer than the last, and you moan lazily.
"Sounds good," he stands up straight and snatches his phone from the nightstand. "I need to head out now but I'll see you later. Love you!"
Jungkook opens your bedroom door and you shut your eyes to get more sleep before having to start the daily grind yourself.
With about thirty minutes to spare Jungkook rushes to his office with his leather satchel. He doesn't remember the room being as bare as it is when he tosses the door openâonly his desk, PhD, and some books left on the shelf. He hasn't been here since the end of June so granted, I'd be pretty dead in the room.
But there's not even one photo of you.
That's going to be the first thing to change, he mentally
notes. Right now, however, he needs to prep for his lecture thatâs inâhe checks his watchâshit.
Twenty-eight minutes.
Jungkook shoves his satchel on the bulky mahogany desk and swivels into his office chair. "Damn," he curses and re-adjusts in his seat. "Since when was my chair this uncomfortable to sit in?'
He shakes it off and pulls out his notes. A tiny blue sticky note falls out as he sorts the mix.
'Deep breaths today Dr. Jeon ;)! It's your first day again and I know you're always so hard on yourself :( But your new students will love you I'm sure. So keep yourself in good spirits and remember I'm only a phone call away. I love you and I can't wait to hear about your day when you get home tonight! <3'
He reads the message again, then again, and one last time for good measure.
Jungkook sticks the note on the surface of his desk, next to his computer where he can view it easily. He then goes back to reviewing his notes for his lecture, feeling a giggle creep up his throat; he really fricken' loves you.
Well, his first class of the day was a complete disaster. The first twenty minutes consisted of him having to troubleshoot technical errors between his laptop and the projector. His students werenât chipper either, preferring silence when he tried striking up a conversation. And the worst part? They didnât laugh at his jokes! Like at all. Usually, heâd at least get one or two chuckles, even if they were merely out of politeness.
It was when he ended the class half an hour early that he earned a few brownie points. Thankfully heâs not a lecture on the first day kind of professor. Still, with any luck, the semester will get better and the remainder of his sections today will be smoother.
"Dr. Jeon," a low voice rumbles down the hallway as Jungkook returns to his office. He whips his head to his left to see Taehyung taking long strides towards him.
"Dr. Kim," Jungkook responds to the greeting. "What are you doing in the School of Business?"
"Just wanted to stop and say hi. I got a studio art class to teach soon but thought I'd check in with my favorite economist first.â Taehyung stuffs his hands in the pockets of his silk trousers and follows Jungkook into his office.
"My wife isn't here Tae," Jungkook teases.
âIsnât it about time you drop that? Yes, we had a thing back inâ"
"It wasn't a thing okay?" Jungkook is eager to correct. Being reminded that his wife and best friend used to hit it off a little too well back in the day makes him queasy. "It was you who kept being obsessed with her. Well, she's mine now. Understand?"
Taehyung laughs. "You need to chill Jungkook. I see the wedding ring loud and clear. Besides, I didn't come here for her alright?" He pauses and wets his lips. "Well actuallyâŚthere is something I'd like to bring up to you that may involve her."
"Oh, what?" Jungkook's ears are on high alert. What could Taehyung possibly need from you?
"How often is __ painting these days?" Taehyung takes a seat in one of the spare chairs in the room.
"She doesn't have as much time these days due to work, but I know she's got a couple of art projects in the process."
"She's got a pretty big collection though, doesnât she? Has she ever considered showcasing them off at galleries or selling to collectors?â
âYeah, Iâd say she has roughly eighty finished pieces between drawings and paintings. But she's tried the gallery route before and they've all rejected her work from being showcased. I don't think she wants to pursue it anymore. And as far as selling? Don't think so."
"Hmm." Taehyung taps his fingers on the armrest. "What if it were to be my art gallery? Over the summer I managed to form a minor partnership with that local gallery downtown. Remember, the one I displayed work at years ago when __ was in postgrad? Took a visit down there weeks ago and found out the owner is running low on funds. He's had my art displayed for a while now and I've always wanted to own a gallery. I've no shortage of assets either so I'm taking the plunge to keep it open.â
Jungkook quirks his head to the side with an open mouth and eyes wide as saucers. âYou're really part owner of that gallery now? Wow, Tae. I always knew you were a free spirit but damn that's an investment."
"I guess, but hey now that you know. We're looking to expand our collection so how would your cute wife like to show her work? __ is a phenomenal artist and itâs a shame she hasnât had the opportunity to have it publicly admired. Iâd see that her work be approved immediately, of course."
âYou're joking,â Jungkook sputters in disbelief. He can't speak for you but he's pretty darn sure youâre going to be absolutely tickled about this.
"I'm being completely serious. Talk to __ about it and see what she thinks." Taehyung checks the time on his phone and stands up from his chair. "Hate to cut this short but I got that class in ten. Let me know what she decides though."
"Yeah, I'll ask her. Iâthank you Taehyung. I'm not sure what else to say."
âYou donât have to say anything. Iâm happy to do this for her. For you both actually.â Taehyung leaves with a tight-lipped smile, a pep in his step.
Bzzz. Bzzz.
Hobi: Hey, sorry for the late reply. Had a couple of last-minute patients to see. Iâm happy to hear from you though! If you want to come in for a session I have a slot free late Thursday evening. Other than that we may need to do it next week since I have a pretty full schedule this week.
Oh, thatâs right. Jungkook reads over the text. He messaged Hoseok about possibly coming in for a therapy session last night. After telling you about both his apprehension and interest in starting a family, he thinks it is best to get some professional input. And what better person to ask than one of his long-time friends?
JK: Iâd really like to meet before I get loaded with papers and tests to grade, if possible. How late on Thursday? I get out of work at 4.
Hobi: I understand. Can you come right after work? Sessions last around forty minutes to an hour.
JK: Sure, I donât think I have anything to do after that. __ will still be at work. She knows Iâm seeing you too, so itâs fine. Iâll see you at 4:15-ish. Your practice isnât far from here last I remember.
Hobi: Yup, short drive. Iâll put you on the calendar for Thursday afternoon. Iâm glad you reached out, Jungkook. Iâve been thinking about you and __ lately. Heard you babysat Yoongiâs twins.
JK: We did.
Hobi: And how was that?
JK: Not bad. Iâll tell you tomorrow though. Iâm prepping for another class right now.
Hobi: Got it, Iâll let you go. Iâll see you on Thursday.
JK: Thanks, man!
Jungkook sends a thumbs-up emoji and sets the phone flat on his desk. Well, he sighs, looks like you got yourself an appointment with a shrink.
He doesnât know what to expect. But what he does know is that he needs to go in with an open mindset. Previous conversations with Hoseok have led him to conclude that it matters what you put into it.
âTherapy isnât an answer to all your problems,â he recalls Hoseok explain years ago. âIts purpose is to create a space for you to process struggles in your life; triggers even. The goal is for you to better understand the root of those triggers and to find new tools that help you navigate through them. Whenever you are posed with said challenge, you can be better equipped to confront them so you can come out stronger on the other side.â
Jungkook takes a swig of water from his water bottle. He thinks of you as he doesâheâs doing this for both of you in hopes that something beautiful might come from it.
At 3:15 Jungkook has his last class. His afternoon students ended up being far more engaging than his morning students. They talked to him casually, asked good questions, and gosh darn it they laughed at his jokes too. They were a great bunch of kids, Jungkook hums. Heâs looking forward to walking alongside them this semester.
Before calling it a day and leaving the university, Jungkook decides a brief stroll around campus would be nice. One, it gets fresh air in his lungs and two, heâd really like to stretch his legs before sitting back down in his car.
As he walks through the middle of campus, he smiles at the groups of students rushing with their book bags. Itâs a good mix between undergrads and grads. Seeing all of them rush around takes him back to his days of late-night studying at the library and partying with friends on the weekends. He tried not to party too rough but well, he might have been a little too eager to finally be on his own the first year.
He dated around a little too. The chicks at his undergrad were cute and he went out with a few of them. His longest relationship lasted a year but she broke it off with him the last yearâshe married an architect a year and a half later. No matter though, Sana was a sweet girl and nothing drastic ever happened between them. Hearing that she was getting married made him more happy than sad because she deserved to be with someone great. Plus, if he stayed with her, he would never have met you.
Jungkook stops in his tracks when he spots two students from his 12:15 class standing behind a small outdoor table. They appear to be selling something he canât quite make out due to the distance.
âDr. Jeon!â The girl waves when she catches her professor looking in their direction.
Jungkook walks up to the table with a smile. âMi-suk, Doyun,â he greets each individually. Itâs at this point that heâs able to see a dozen frames of sea glass art spread across the table. âDid you guys make these?â
The pair nod in unison. âWe went to the beach this summer and found a lot of glass so we decided to do something with it.â Doyun, Mi-sukâs boyfriend, holds up one of the framed pieces that are decorated with green and blue sea glass. âThis one is about lovebirds. See the heart that connects them?â
The birds that he refers to are easily seen from the sea glassâs sharp edges and carefully selected clustering. The heart is also made out of sea glass and lays between both birds. Itâs a simplistic yet meaningful design.
âWe wanted the heart to be interpreted in all kinds of ways from love to new beginnings likeââ
âA child.â Jungkook takes the words out of Mi-suk, in a low whisper. âHow much?â He digs out his wallet from his back pocket.
â33000 won. ($25 USD).â Doyun responds. âDo you have a child on the way?â Mi-suk jabs her boyfriend in the side at this.
âYou donât have to tell us Dr. Jeon. We donât want to be nosy.â She laughs it out but Jungkook shakes his head at her.
âItâs no big deal. Iâm married but we donât have a kid at the moment. My wife loves art and she loves sea glass so, Iâd like to hang one of these in our home.â He hands over the cash and takes the artwork from Doyun.
âThank you, Dr. Jeon,â Doyun remains polite and puts the money in the cash box.
âDo you have a picture of her?â Mi-suk asks to which her boyfriend says âNow whoâs being nosy?â, earning him another jab to his side.
Jungkook pulls out a small, lightly crinkled photo of you from his wallet. âThis is her.â He shows it to them with a proud expressionâhe enjoys showing you off every chance he gets.
âSheâs so beautiful Dr. Jeon! You both look so good together wow.â
âShe makes us look good together.â Jungkook chuckles and slides the photo back into his wallet.
âAww, why donât you ever say things like that?â Mi-suk turns to her boyfriend who only shrugs.
âWhy do I have to be the one to say it? Why canât you say it?â Doyun moves to fold his arms but Jungkook gives a grimace, hinting him not to follow through. âSorry babe, Iâll do it more often.â
Young love, Jungkook thinks. âI have to get going now, making dinner before she gets home. But thanks for the sea glass art. Iâll see you both in class on Wednesday.â He waves goodbye and heads for his car.
âHe makes dinner for her tooâŚâ Mi-suk watches as her professor leaves. âYouâve never made dinner for me.â She shifts her eyes to her boyfriend whoâs too busy counting the money theyâve earned so far to see her distraught face.
âWhere did you get that?â You point at the new art piece hanging from the wall with your chopsticks. âItâs lovely. Are those birds?â
âYeah, theyâre love birds. A couple of my students were selling seaglass art in the middle of campus. I thought one would look nice on our wall and you like this type of art right?â Your husband takes a bite of the roasted chicken heâs made.
âI do,â you say. âThank you for bringing one home. How was your first day back at the university?â
âFine, my morning class is struggling but Iâm hoping the energy will pick up as the semester progresses. The afternoon class is good, they seem like a fun bunch. Looking forward to the year. What about you? How was work?â
âOh, nothing much to tell. I had a meeting with one of our business partners. Went over a series of analytical reports with him, and made suggestions on what they could do to make better-informed business decisions.â
âYeah? Did they sound like theyâd take them?â You giggle when some of the sauce from the chicken smears the corner of his mouth. âWhat?â he looks at you for an answer.
âWipe your mouth. Thereâs sauce all over it.â You hand him a napkin and he cleans himself off. âBut back to your question, they seemed receptive to my advice. Weâll see what happens in the next three months though, time will tell if they listened or not.â
âWell,â he swallows down his bite before continuing. âIf they have any sense theyâll follow your suggestions. Still, you can lead a horse to water but you canât make it drink.â
You nod in agreement. âSo, did anything else happen for you today? I really donât have much else to share other than that. It was a fairly normal day.â
Jungkook sets his chopsticks on his plate and takes a drink of his beer. âThereâs a few things I need to talk to you about. Oh, also,â he interrupts his own line of thought, âthe note you left me was sweet. I have it on my desk by my computer.â
âI thought maybe you could use some encouragement on your first day so youâre welcome. What do you need to talk to me about?â
âFirst on the agenda is Taehyung. He stopped by my office and told me that heâs got a partnership with that gallery downtown. The one he displayed his work at years ago when you were in postgrad. Turns out the owner needs financial support so heâs decided to help them out as a part-owner.â
Jungkook sees that youâre just as surprised as he was when he first heard the news. âSo he owns that gallery now? That man gets around well. You know thatâs something about Taehyung, heâs a good networker. Never have to worry about if he knows someone or not.â
âItâs one of his strengths for sure. Taehyungâs asked me to ask you if youâd be interested in showcasing some of your artwork. He says theyâre looking for more artists for their gallery and that heâd like to have your work displayed. What do you think?â
âIâwhat?â Getting to showcase your art has been one of your biggest dreams since a teenager. But after countless failed attempts to take your art beyond the studio, youâve nearly given up hope that any galley would accept your pieces. âAre you shitting me Jungkook?â
âI know itâs shocking. Taehyung literally just dropped the bomb on me today and this is 100% real. If you want to get your art out there, Taehyung can pull the right strings to make that happen. Now that I think of it, he didnât tell me when to get back to him. Probably will need to text him whenever you make your decision I guess.â
âI think Iâd love to be able to do that. I donât even know which ones to show though, I have so many to choose from.â
âIâm sure if you take a week to think it over youâll be able to narrow down your options. And besides, this doesnât have tp be the only set of paintings you show off. You can always switch them out from time to time. Taehyung will see that it happens.â
âDamn,â you say. âKim Taehyung really has the whole world in the palm of his hand huh?â That man has more power in his little toe than all the worldâs leaders combined.
âTaehyung isâŚone of a kind.â Jungkook leans his body forward, arms crossed on the dining table. âThereâs a second topic Iâd like to talk about too if itâs alright?â
âShoot.â
âI have a therapy session with Hoseok on Thursday after work. I should be able to get back before 5 p.m. but we might want to order out for dinner that night.â Thereâs a trace of nervousness as he tells you so you reach out to sneak a hand into one of his.
âThatâs fine, I can pick something up on my way home from work. Iâm glad he was able to get you in this week.â
Jungkook flickers his eyes down at your hand in his, then back up to your face.âIt probably goes without saying but Iâm not sure whatâll come from this session. And even if it does go well, I canât promise that we can start a baby right away. I mean maybe we can, Iâm not saying we canât butââ
âItâs okay Kookie,â you say gently. âThis isnât only about us having a baby or not you know? Youâve had a lot of challenges with your parents that I think Hoseok can help you talk through. I want you to be able to have clarity in those areas of your life too.â
âThank you __. I love you so much.â He brings your hand to his lips and kisses it.
âIâm glad you wiped your mouth off before you did that,â you tease, playfully. Jungkook immediately lets go of your hand and gets up to walk to your side of the table.
âCome here smart ass,â he orders, grabbing your face to pepper several kisses on your cheeks.
Draining.
Thatâs the one word that comes to Jungkookâs mind if he were to sum up the rest of the week. He enjoys teaching at the university but four days in heâs already feeling the stress kinks in his neck.
âMm.â Jungkook rolls his shoulders back to stretch the tense musclesâitâs a good thing heâs seeing Hoseok today. After getting a good stretch out, he puts his car key in the ignition and heads for the practice downtown.
"Come in, come in," Hoseok greets Jungkook with a beaming smile once he arrives at his office no short of ten minutes later. His room is on the smaller side but it has a harmonious energy with the way the sun peaks through the blinds. "How's your week been?"
Jungkook takes a seat in the large, cozy chair angled across Hoseok. He leans against the back lazily and lets out a long sigh. "It's alright, tiring, but it's to be expected. You?"
"Roughly the same.â Hoseok shuts the door and takes a seat in the chair diagonal to Jungkook. âIâve had more patients this week than usual which has made me short on time lately. But I'm happy to make time for them."
"Thank you for seeing me this week. I was surprised when you said you could given how full your schedule gets.â
Hoseok waves his hand in dismissal. âOh, of course, itâs no problem,â he reassures. âI had an opening so thatâs why I offered. You and __ are also good friends of mind; Iâm more than willing to meet with you today Jungkook. SoâŚwhy donât we get started? How was taking care of Yoongiâs rambunctious twins? Youâve taken care of them before right?â
At this, Jungkook sits straight up in his seat, his shoulders back and eyes directly trained on Hoseok. He appears stiff like the tin man from The Wizard of Oz. âFeel free to sit back,â Hoseok lightly suggests. âThis isnât a test or anything so you can relax and get comfortable if youâd like.â
âOkay.â Jungkook follows his friendâs suggestion and sinks into the back of the chair. His hands relax on his spread-out thighs. âSo yeah, weâve taken care of Yoongiâs girl before. Ari and Eun-ji have no shortage of attitude thatâs for sure.â He chuckles, then continues. âTheyâre sweet though. I had this warm, positive energy throughout that whole night. Usually, I never have a strong feeling towards being around kids. Itâs always been âah theyâre cute but not for meâ or âyes hyung, Iâll be fine to take them for a dayâ but it wouldnât go any further. I told __ about it and I think sheâs holding onto hope that it means Iâm changing my mind about kids.â
âAnd are you changing your mind? Sometimes those strong emotions will come at specific moments and they can give a false narrative. You and __ have been thinking about a baby recently which may influence these new feelings. But we have to be careful that they donât blur what you actually want.â Hoseok pauses a second to let Jungkook maul over his words.
âItâs like this,â he continues. âYou want to have a baby with her because you love her but last time we met, you said you werenât sure if you could want it naturally for yourself. Now that you know what the other wants, and youâve had a picture of what having kids may look like with the twins, you are more welcoming of the idea of starting a family. âMaybe it wonât be so badâ, your mind will tell youââMaybe this can really happen and Iâll be okay with itâ. Meanwhile, your subconscious will say the complete oppositeâthat youâre pressuring yourself to feel a certain way to get that ideal outcome of giving your wife a baby. Which in turn, makes her happy and gives you security in your marriage and in yourself. Iâm not saying this is exactly whatâs going on but itâs a possibility to consider. Does this make sense?â
âI get what youâre saying.â Jungkook gives a brief nod. âIâm trying to be careful not to go by my feelings alone or say yes to a child out of pure tolerance of it or a willingness to please my wife. Iâve had some minor hiccups with saying we can have a baby at random times to __ . Itâs caused her confusion so Iâm more careful to not do stuff like that so casually. But I really am thinking about potentially starting a family so I think my mind really is changing. Itâs like Iâm 60% there but 40% not there.â
â60% there and 40% not there,â Hoseok repeats. âCould you break those down for me? How did you come to those percentages?â
âWell, Iâm 60% because after giving it a lot of thought, I donât dislike kids so Iâm open to having them, any children Iâve been around recently have oddly uplifted my spirits, and I love my wife so if thereâs anyone I could have a family with, itâd be with her. Iâm 40% not there because Iâm afraid Iâll revert back to my previous mindset if said child were to come. I donât know if I can trust myself.â
âThere seems to be a small pattern formingâyou being uplifted around children,â Hoseok replies. âPatterns of behavior can be a measurement of progress or lack thereof. If youâve been repeatedly uplifted around kids thatâs something to think about as you sort through the matter of starting a family with __. You can trust yourself more in the conclusions you come to when there is repeated behavior and action to support them. Now as far as you being afraid youâll revert back to your old self, why did that old Jungkook not want children? Was it a lack of interest in itself or were there external influences?â
âUh, I guess I wanted to live a life focused on my career. My parents have done the same, but I wanted to do it separately from them. Growing up was always about meeting goals, whether they were academically or socially based. My parents were pretty absent from my life outside those frames. I couldnât know them up close, like a healthy parent-child relationship. So when I grew up the thought of having children disinterested me. Iâm happy for people who have kids but I didnât see myself in a parenting role myself. I wasnât fit for it either, so why have a child that I canât properly take care of? Iâd do better focusing on my career and maybe having a partner when the time came. That was my mindset.â
âIt starts as disinterest and shifts to inadequacy,â Hoseok thinks a moment as he processes the explanation. The wheels turn in his head as he sorts through the information disclosed to him. âJungkook,â he slowly starts. âDo you see yourself as naturally insecure? It seems like this different life you are describing works well for you and youâre comfortable with it, partly due to how you were raised. So the thought of something new coming into your life, like a baby, risks flipping your life upside down. Youâre in turn, left vulnerable and scrabbling for what the proper course of action is. This leads to my next questionâdo you have a fear of becoming like your parents?â
âI suppose I do, but I never put that much weight into it before because I always thought Iâd do better than them. And for the most part, I have. When it comes to raising a child though, the potential of following their lead still frightens me.â
âGiven the environment you grew up in, that's completely understandable. Unfortunately, your parents didnât raise you as a child but more of an employee or predecessor that only adds to their self-value. If itâs any encouragement, you being aware that they raised you poorly and successfully becoming a person that doesnât embody their harmful traits means you will likely not end up like them. So you can be at ease, Jungkook. Youâll raise your children with a healthy mindsetâseparate from your parents.â
âJust to clarify, hyunâDr. Jung, youâre saying that I've been against having a child because Iâm worried Iâll lose my comfortable lifestyle; my security in other words. And because Iâm scared to become my parents which shouldnât be a fear because I know what they did was wrong?â Jungkook struggles to wrap his mind around the logic.
âItâs alright that you still have that apprehension Jungkook, the fear of following in your parentâs footsteps. Iâm suggesting that it wonât happen because youâve become a person who actively repulses those poor choices that theyâve made. So if you were to have a child, the chances of them being raised as you were is significantly low. Also, you wouldnât be raising the child alone. __ will be there with you every step of the way and all of us who have been your friends for ages will be more than willing to help you too. Yoongi and Seokjin been fathers for years so theyâll be the first ones to offer a proper hand.â
âSo wait, does this mean Iâm ready to be a parent then? Because I see your point and itâs starting to make sense. I think I am leaning towards being one but I'm unsure if I can have a child right away. __ wonât say it but I think sheâll want to get pregnant fairly soon if I agree to having a baby. I donât want to disappoint her.â
âItâs still up to you to decide if youâre ready or not, Jungkook.â Hosoek clears his throat, leaning forward in his chair. âHereâs what Iâm saying. Your aversion to having kids doesnât seem like a mere disinterest in kids. Itâs more of an insecurity in yourself that you can work through with some help. Plus, part of you wants a child because youâve had positive experiences with them recently. I believe, with all the factors we've discussed, you will be able to better understand the source of your hesitation and openness toward starting a family. This will help you make a clearer decision on the matter instead of holding yourself back from one based on previous misconceptionsââ
âSo thatâs it then,â Jungkook interrupts as if enlightened. âI actually do want a baby, generally speaking. Iâve just been looking at the whole issue the wrong way, holding myself back and such.â
âUh okay, slow down there,â Hoseok eases. âYou donât have to make the decision to have a baby right away. Iâm glad youâre beginning to understand your situation more but for now, letâs talk more about this subject okay?â
Jungkook nods in agreement and continues his session with Hoseok for another half hour. He feels good by the end, so good that he schedules another meeting with him next week.
And yeah, he thinks he really does want that baby. When he gets home heâs going to wrap you in his arms and tell you all about it.
Jungkook finds you on the living room couch when he gets home. Your legs are tucked underneath you as you scroll on your phone. You're out of your work clothes and have a plain t-shirt and shorts on instead.
"Hey," you greet your husband. "How was it?"
Your husband rushes to sit beside you, the cushion bouncing due to his eagerness. He proceeds to tell you everything that Hoseok said, from his inner struggles with his parents to his own insecurities with fatherhood. By the end of his spiel, you're delighted that your husband's gotten helpful insight but are in utter shock as well.
"Iâwow I'm blown away at how good seeing Hosoek was for you. I knew he'd help you a ton being who he is but I wasn't expecting you to be this enthusiastic to talk about babies." You let out a nervous laugh. "Sorry, nothing's funny. I need a minute to process everything, that's all."
You head to the kitchen for a glass of water. Jungkook follows behind you.
"You know...we met at a time that a child wasn't really in the cards, but now we're at a place that I think it could work," he says. "Hoseok helped me understand my hesitation and openness towards starting a family. And by the end, the thought of having a baby excited me more than scared me because we'll be doing it together."
"Are youâJunkook, are you really serious about all this?" You lean against the kitchen counter with a glass in your hand. "This a big step for us and I don't want you to have to make a quick decision. I know it was me who brought up having a family first, so it's no problem if we need to take more time toâ"
"I want to do this with you __." Jungkook walks over to you and takes the cup from your hand to set it on the countertop. He then folds his hands over yours. "Nothing would make me happier than having a baby together. You still want to, don't you?"
"I do," you swallow hard and stare into his loving eyes. A small smile creeps on your face when the reality of the situation hits youâyou're actually going through with this; you're going to start a family.
"So..." Jungkook drawls, inching his body closer to you.
"So, what?"
"So don't take your birth control tomorrow if you don't want to." He drops your hands at that in favor of cupping your cheeks instead, bringing you into a passionate kiss. You moan when the kiss deepens and you feel his muscular body press you further against the counter.
"Not in the kitchen," you mumble between kisses.
"Could be fun though," Jungkook smirks and brings his hands around your waist, lifting you up on the surface. Experience tells you to wrap your arms and legs around him so you do. And when he goes back for another kiss, he makes sure to bite on your bottom lip so he can slip his tongue in your mouth.
"Mhphâ" you moan when his hands slip underneath your shirt, dragging it up until you lift your arms for him to take it off. He moves to your neck next, placing several open-mouth kisses on the delicate skin that is sure to turn into bluish-purple hickeys in the morning. "Jungkook," you tug his hair roughly.
Your husband grunts at the gesture and traces his fingers along your bare skin until they find the delicate band of your bra. He unclasps the material in seconds, leaving your nipples pebbling from the cool air.
"Is it too soon for me to say I can't wait until these are lactating?" He cups the swell of your breasts and circles his thumbs over your hardened buds. You mewl at the touch, arousal already collecting between your thighs.
"They'll be for the baby," you reply. "Not you."
Jungkook growls immediately and brings his mouth over a breast. The relentless sucking and licking makes you throw your head back in pleasure. He moves to your other breast after his teeth tug at your nipple a few times, repeating the process all over again. "Fuckâ" you yelp when one of his tugs gets a little too harsh.
"Shit, I'm sorry baby." He draws his teeth back and starts licking the bud soothingly. "Feel better?"
"Mm," you whine. "Need more, please."
Jungkook knows exactly what you're asking for so he gives your nipples one last lick each, then pecks your lips. His sturdy arms lift you off the counter next and carries you into the bedroom where he lays you on the bed.
"Just a second," he says. You nod and watch him yank his shirt over his head, revealing his toned body. It's always sexy to see him taking his clothes off like this, you think to yourself. He removes his pants; leaving his briefs on, then climbs on the bed with you. "You're so effortlessly beautiful you know that? I'm gonna make you feel good tonight baby," he promises and plants gentle kisses down your abdomen.
You raise your butt a little when he starts peeling your shorts and underwear off. "Fuck, I didn't know you could get this wet," he comments, spreading your thighs apart so he can comfortably sit between them. A single finger drags up your slit, a moment after and you buck your hips at the suddenness. "How many fingers do you want? Or do you want to skip to my tongue eating you out? I'll do whatever you tell me, baby."
You moan hearing the last part. Jungkook is always quick to please. "Both, please. Your fingers and mouth," you say, gripping the sheets in preparation.
At your word, Jungkook slowly pushes a finger into your wet pussy. The initial squelch gives both of you pleasure; a shiver runs down your spine and Jungkook's underwear tightens.
"Oh god," you moan when a second finger slides next to the first one, both curling inside you just right. "One more, need one more." Jungkook pumps his fingers into you two more times, then adds a third.
"Like it?" he asks, fingers moving faster in you. "Feeling good?"
"Yes, fuckâkeep going Kook."
Jungkook continues pumping his finger inside you, carefully watching you bite your lip as he does. He loves seeing you like thisâgetting so fucked out over his fingers. "Shitâ" he grunts and leans his head between your thighs when he sees some of your pearly white liquid drip down your thighs and onto the bed sheets.
"Fuckfuckfuck," you repeat, nearly breathless as your husband starts licking a long stripe across your sex. He removes his fingers before doing it again, allowing him to dip the tip of his tongue into your folds ever so slightly. "I think I'm about to come," you warn and claw at his luscious hair with one hand.
Jungkook takes this as the perfect time to start sucking your clit, biting it teasingly until you finally have your first orgasm of the night. When he lifts his head from your pussy, his mouth and chin are both glistening with your cum. "I love eating you out," he says, using his arm to wipe his mouth and chin, "You always taste like fucking candy. And you have no idea how turns on it makes me to see you enjoying it just as much."
"I'm pretty sure I can take a good guess," you reply, eyeing his obvious erection. "Want me to suck you off?" You move to slide the band of his briefs down but he stops the movement.
"Not tonight baby," he says. "I really just want to fuck you now."
"You sure?" you ask again but he only gets off the bed and removes his underwear. His hard cock smacks against his abdomen when he does, making your pussy clench around nothing.
"Missionary?" Jungkook crawls back on the bed and guides you on your back before throwing your legs over his shoulder. "Heard this angle is good for making babies." He winks and you laugh at his sudden playfulness.
"Kook, you know it'll be a few months before I'll be able to get pregnant right? Since I've been on birth control for years?"
"Well, I guess we're getting a head start then." Jungkook wiggles his eyebrows at you flirtatiously then slowly sinks the tips of his length into your pussy until bottoming out.
"Oh fuck," you both moan in unison at the familiar stretch. You and Jungkook have had a lot of sex over the years but not like this; this is a whole new experience.
"You're gonna make such a pretty mama," he coos, slowly thrusting his cock in and out of you. You feel the pressure in your core start to build at the simple comment. "You want me to make you round with our child don't you?"
"Yesâplease, I want it so bad."
"My poor baby." Jungkook quickens his pace, pulling his cock out before slamming back in. Every thrust is rougher than the last, leaving you in a moaning mess as your body bounces up and down on the mattresses. "Gonna give you as many as you want now okay? Gonna fill this pussy up so good."
"Kook!" You scream and clench uncontrollably around him as he continues fucking you at what you can only call an animalistic pace. His hair is messy, body sweating, and his teeth are clamped together in sheer pleasure.
"Fuck!" He lets out another loud groan, his tatted hand clinging onto your legs while the other presses down on your stomach. "Look at you taking me so well," he praises. "Always so good for me or do you really want a baby that bad hm? Talk to me baby, tell me how it feels having your guts rearranged."
"Itâ" you can barely speak as his cock beats into you messily, his balls slapping against your asscheeks as he does. "It feels so good, shit! Don't stop!" You claw the sheets, desperate to cling onto something.
"Yeah? You want me to keep fucking you like this?" He pushes down on your stomach a little more. The added pressure makes it so you can feel his cock even more.
"Oh god, oh god fuckâ" your eyes roll to the back of your head as your pussy starts spasming from all the thrusting. "So close, I'm so close Jungkook..."
"I can tell baby," he grunts. "You're squeezing me so tight but you're also so fucking wet. Come whenever you're ready okay? I'm going get us both there."
The next thirty seconds to a minute consists of Jungkook snapping his hips and several of your broken moans echoing off the walls of your bedroom. Finally, after a series of long, hard thrusts, you both reach your peak and have your release.
"I love you so much," Jungkook lets go of your legs and moves to straddle you. His elbows come up on either side of your head as he leans in for a kiss.
"I love you too," you mumble and card your fingers through his hair. "You're going to make a wonderful father Kook."
"Only because of you," he whispers before capturing your lips in simultaneously the most fiery and sweet kiss you've ever shared.
"What time is it?" You lazily throw an arm around your husband but to your dissatisfaction, it slips off him and hits the mattress instead. He's getting up for workâcrap.
"It's 5:30 a.m," Jungkook replies and stands up from the bed, back muscles flexing as he does. He's still naked from last night and so are you now that you think about it. "I need to hop in the shower for work."
You reach forward to catch his wrist before he can move any further. "Let me join you."
Jungkook smiles. You're so beautiful with the way the soft sheets wrap around your bare skin. And your grip on his wrist makes him wish he could crawl back in bed with you.
"As wonderful as that sounds, we both know what'll happen if you jump in the shower with me. And we don't have enough time for that today. Sleep instead, okay?" He gives you a quick kiss and heads for the bathroom.
"Kookâ" You kick the covers off your body and follow him.
"What are you doing?" he turns his head in your direction when he feels a cool breeze coming from the door.
"I need to shower too," you say and step behind him in the tub.
"Alright," he narrows his eyes at you. "I'll allow it but behave." When he turns on the hot water you grab your bodywash from the shelf.
"Mhm," you hum. "I definitely will."
You definitely did not. Which is why your husband is about to be late to his lecture with potential hickeys on his neck. You tried to be careful not to put them anywhere visible thoughâthe kids don't need to see that.
"I gotta leave honey," he kisses you by the front door, keys jingling in his hand. "Bye," another kiss. "Yup byeâŚokay I love you but if I can't get fired by not showing up to class."
You give him one last smooch before reluctantly letting him go. "Oh wait, your collar." You smooth the fabric down for him when you see the crinkles. Jungkook likes it when you groom him like this, it's cute.
"Thanks," he says. "Love you!"
Once he's out of sight you shut the door behind him and walk back to your bedroom.
oh god.
You immediately stand still when you feel a sudden throbbing in your head. You place a hand over your stomach and close your eyes in hopes it'll pass.
"I think I need some water," you say. "I'm so nauseous. This has to be a dizzy spell. No way I'm pregnant after one night of being off my birth control." You dismiss the idea at the mere thought. "It's too soon."
Despite your protests, you decide to pick up a pregnancy test on your way home from workâjust to be sure.
"Negative," you read the results of the test later that night. Outside the bathroom, you hear your husband rustling about in the bedroom. "Well, we'll just keep trying."
You smile, anticipating the start of your new life with Jungkook.
A/N: What do you think of the ending? I know oc is negative for pregnancy but she just got off bc so it'll take a few months. Still, they will keep trying ;) stayed tuned for an epilogue and hit me up with drabble ideas, as I will be writing more myself haha. Love You!! đ

Lucien who now lives full time in the Day Court knowing the truth (think white robes and cold crown and makeup omg) and who has been in love with IC reader since getting to know her while he was there.
She's now visiting on some Night Court business (research, negotiation, etc.), and he's decided to put on his full Lucien teasing charm to woo her.
Sunlight in a Bowl.
Summary: Did he just... no. Of course not.
â˘âââŚâââ˘
A/n: I didnt realise how much i loved this idea until i wrote it đ thank you soo much my darling anon for sending in this request, i had soo much fun writing it lol, it was like it took no effort, came to me soo easy đĽš
also, posting this an hour early for funsies đ¤
i promised no angst so theres no angst @milswrites
anyways, enjoy!
â˘âđââ˘
The day court was beautiful.
That was all Y/n could think of as a sentry led her towards Helion's private receiving chambers, all other adjectives having flown out of her head the moment Azriel had dropped her on the border of Day court, from where she'd winnowed herself to the palace.
The white houses, the red and gold roofs, the sunlight shining from above and reflecting from pools of water and the Palace right in the center of it all, the colourful market in the town square...
It was safe to say Y/n was ready to move to Day court, already having forgotten that she was here on a mission from Rhysand.
She was ready, bags packed, no questions asked.
So busy was she gaping at the beautiful architecture of the palace, the artwork reigning her in like some trick of hypnotism, she didn't realise the sentry had come to a stop outside two large oak doors.
Unfortunately, that meant she smacked right into his back before she realised.
Her cheeks blazing, Y/n stumbled back as she glanced up at the male, who had an amused smile on his face.
"I merely stumbled. My dress is a little long."
He nodded. "Never said you did not stumble. I believe it must be hard to walk around in your too long knee length dress."
Blood rushed into Y/n's ears as she looked down at the dress that... only reached her knees, realising he was right.
Fuck.
She cleared her throat, standing at attention, avoiding his eyes.
From her peripherals, she could see him grinning as he knocked on the door, waiting until a voice called out to let them in.
The male opened the door, holding it open for Y/n. She hurried in, resisting the urge to just die as he closed the door behind her.
So much for making a good first impression.
Y/n shook her head, trying to dislodge the lump now forming in her throat at the upcoming conversation.
Being an introvert and shy was a hard job, one Y/n was very good at.
But being introverted and shy while being an emissary? Now that was the job of someone that Y/n would consider god.
And exactly why Y/n had been so against the idea of her becoming an emissary when Rhysand suggested it, knowing she would rather live a life alone in the middle of nowhere and probably become the next Weaver than become an emissary.
Alas, she was the only researcher Rhysand had at his disposal, so now she had been sent to read through as many libraries and books in day court as possible to aid in Feyre's second pregnancy.
It hadn't been confirmed yet whether the babe was winged, but Rhysand and the inner circle thought it best to start researching in advance just in case the babe did have wings and to prevent the second pregnancy ending up the same way the first did, and this time with no one to save them.
"Y/n! Always a pleasure to see you!" Y/n met the warm honey eyes that belonged to Helion, a smile spreading on her face unprompted.
"Helion." She greeted, walking forward and directly into his open and inviting arms, squeezing him back when he wrapped his arms around her.
"I hope the journey was not too hard?"
Y/n laughed, pulling away. "All I had to do was winnow, Helion, why would it be hard?"
Helion grinned, then turned to glance at something behind him.
With horror, Y/n realised that it was not something, it was someone.
Her panicked eyes shot to Helion, remembering that Rhys said Y/n wouldn't have to interact with anyone other than the day court high lord.
"Ah Y/n, meet my son, Lucien. Though I'm sure you've met before."
Y/n swallowed, then let her eyes wander to Lucien. Which, definitely not a good idea, considering Y/n was suddenly drooling and looking away like he had burned her eyes.
She had only looked at him for a moment, but that moment was enough for Y/n to have taken note of how ravishing he looked.
Ravishing?!? Get a grip Y/n.
Y/n attempted to calm her racing heartbeat by taking deep breaths, trying not to think of all the golden skin on display that was not covered by the white robe, the gold crown adorning the head of fiery red.
Trying especially hard not to think about the way his skin glowed with happiness and the beautiful, flirtatious smile adorning those plush, soft lips.
"We- we have met before."
"That's amazing! So if introductions are not needed, I'll take my leave."
Y/n knew her eyes were bulging out of her head at this point, but she did not really care as she gaped at Helion's retreating back. She continued to stare until he reached the doors, then turned to wink at her like he was in on a secret she was not.
Bastard.
Y/n, not knowing what to do, glanced at Lucien, who, in the perfect son-of-bastard way, sent her a cocky grin.
Y/n glared at him at that, pretending like the blush on her face was because of anger and not because she was shy.
"I don't know if Rhys informed you, but I will be helping you out today with the research."
Y/n's eyes widened, staring at him like he'd claimed to have met the Mother herself.
Which, Y/n would have been less surprised to hear, but that was the talk for another day.
"I- no one told me."
Lucien shrugged, that infuriating smile still on his face. "It came up last moment when my father had to leave to handle some important matters."
Y/n nodded sadly, mentally encouraging herself that she could do this.
With a sigh, she gestured at him. "Lead the way."
â˘âđââ˘
"Are you hungry yet?"
Y/n reigned in her sigh of exasperation.
For the past hour, Lucien had been hovering around Y/n, bothering her with stupid questions and trying to get her to go somewhere else. Where, Y/n could not for the life of her figure out.
She glanced up at him, finding his arms crossed over his chest, a careless grin on his face as he leaned against the desk she sat at.
She also noticed how he stood a little too close to just be acting like a caring host, but she ignored it, just like she ignored the bulging, mouth watering muscles in his arms.
"I am sorry Lucien, but my stomach does not consider me worthy of food at the moment. I will let you know once it decides I deserve to eat."
He laughed at that, his head thrown back, his chest vibrating with how genuine the sound was.
Y/n's eyes dropped to the strong column of his throat, his Adam's apple bobbing as he glanced back down to her, grinning. Y/n noticed the dimple that made an appearance in his cheeks, but she pretended she was still mad at his constant nagging and turned back to the thick bound tomes she had open in front of her.
Y/n got a moment of reprieve before he drew her attention again.
But this time he did not ask her if she was hungry or if she was thirsty.
No, he pushed off from the table, and Y/n watched him from the corner of her eyes as he walked to the back of her chair.
She was curious, of course she was, but also glad that he would let her do her studies.
Also sad that he was leaving, but no one needed to know that.
But suddenly, two arms were caging her in against the table, and Y/n startled at the sudden heat of being caged against the wood by someone who quite literally had the heat of autumn court fire in his blood and the warmth of day court sun in his blood.
"What are you doing?!" Y/n yelped, trying to keep quiet in the library.
His breath tickled the hair at the side of her neck as he leaned in.
"I am just wanting to inquire when your stomach will deem you worthy of eating."
"Oh my god." Y/n mumbled, her blood tinting her face red. "Stop it Lucien!"
"Not until you tell me you will go out to eat with me. Tell me, will giving you the sun in a bowl convince you?"
Y/n only kept getting redder in the face, and to try to cover it up, she slapped her hands over her face.
He tsked. "That sounded like it hurt."
Y/n paused for a moment, then mumbled out- "It did."
He laughed again, and something about having him so close to her, so free and vulnerable did things to Y/n. She spread her fingers, peeking out to find his eyes closed, his teeth glinting softly in the sunlight streaming in through the stained glass windows.
She stared at him, slowly letting her hands fall into her lap, not realising she was staring.
Or maybe not caring.
His laughter slowly died down, the sound still ringing softly in Y/n's ears until it faded away.
He met her eyes, happier than Y/n had ever seen, and gave her a soft smile.
"So?"
Y/n sighed, the sound so exaggerated she would have laughed any other time.
"Fine."
For good measure, Y/n rolled her eyes at him before she turned back to the dusty tomes sitting on the rich wood desk.
She could practically feel his grin as he dipped closer, planting a kiss on her cheek.
Y/n's eyes flew wide, turning to gape at him as he straightened.
"So, a bowl of sunlight. In the receiving room before sunset?"
Y/n choked out an okay.
The bastard had the audacity to wink at her as he turned and strutted away, his careless demeanour already enchanting Y/n's malfunctioning brain.
She watched his retreating back until she couldn't anymore, then straightened to stare at the words that now made no sense to Y/n because she was so busy trying not to think about the plans she now had for the evening.
Did he just...
Y/n blinked, glancing once to the archway he'd just disappeared into.
Did he just ask me out on a date?
Y/n shook her head.
No, it was just not possible.
Lucien? Asking Y/n out on date?
Y/n wanted to laugh at herself for even thinking that. Lucien would never...
Fuck.
Despite herself, Y/n began to smile, and hope.
What have I gotten myself into?
It was going to be hurting her brain to think so much about it, but she couldn't care less about it.
Still smiling, Y/n returned to her work, now trying to stop focusing on him and start doing the thing she was actually here for.
It's going to be a long day.

Lilia, Epel: Blessing Givers, Curse Breaker
Liliaâs vignettes continue to be gold! He âhumbleâ brags about how his voice is great, heâs sooo adorable, and such an ikemen⌠(Apparently he realized he was cute because people would give him free stuff and help on his travels and when he first came to NRC!) Best part was definitely when Lilia described cooking for his dorm members and they were âso touchedâ that they bowed their heads, covered their faces, and/or cried đ
NOT THEM PUTTING A PICTURE OF MALEFICENT DRAGON FORM ON LILIA'S BIRTHDAY CARD⌠His vignettes also mention having the strength to overcome âa curseâ đ Cruel reminders of the tragedy that unfolded in his past, and bis unfulfilled search for a cure for Silver... TWST devs, you sickos/j
A Tale as Old as Time.
Three fairies crowded around a cradle, its curtained hood up to obscure the infant within. Green, pink, blueâeach was dressed in a particular color. They glanced at the baby and at each other, mouths agape to discuss their blessings.
Safeguarded within the platinum frame was a celebration of life and a future yet to be told. The fragile start of a brand new story.
Lilia wanted to protect it himself.
âLooks like some fancy shindig.â The remark came from Epel, who gazed upon the same painting. "Erm... I mean, party. That is what it is, right...?"
"They've come to bestow gifts upon a newborn princess. Royal affairs can be a bit stiff, I'm afraid. Can't even show up to one without an invitation! Some hosts are just sticklers for tradition and protocol."
"Oh, I got it!" Epel visibly perked, cheeks appling with pink. "It's a different kind of gathering. Back home in Harveston, they're a lot more informal. Family and all the neighbors coming by with plates of warm food, a makeshift band and folks dancing, catching up by the fire... It's so lively."
Liliaâs lip curled, the corners lifting into a slight smile. "It's good to know that your hometown hasn't lost its charm."
"You've visited before?"
"Once, long ago," the ancient fae chuckled, "when I was still a stubborn and stony-faced youth. The people of Harveston opened their hearts and offered hospitality. From what you've told me, it's clear that the very same spirit from then persists to this day."
"Gosh, really?" Epel puffed up at that, as though he were a peacock flaunting his feathers. "Hehe, wellll, Harveston does have a way of makin' ya feel cozy and right at home, even if yer far away from it!"
"That it does." Lilia's eyes traced the wall of artwork before him. The colors, shapes, and textures. "Twisted Wonderland is so vast and diverse. I've traveled far and wide, experienced a great deal of cultures, yet I always find myself anchored to that one special place called home. There is no comfort like it."
Thereâs no place like home.
A twinge pulsated in his chest. The pain, marring the nostalgic warmth he bathed in. Lilia did not let it showânot to his underclassman, not this child that stared at him with such eagerness.
He swallowed.
âHow do you celebrate in Briar Valley?â Epel asked. âCan you tell me about your traditions too?â
âKufufu. Youâre keen on learning, I see.â
âI didnât always. Iâm sure if you asked Vil, heâd give you a mouthful about how âuppityâ and âfull of myselfâ I was at first.â Epel groaned at the thought of another lecture from his dorm leader. â⌠But recently, Iâve been thinkinâ itâs not too bad to hear about how others experience everything.
âMeemawâmy grandmaâgoes to the city to sell our farmâs produce. She has to switch up how she talks to speak to the locals. I noticed our mayor too, when he talks to tourists. So learning about new people and cultures canât be a bad thing.â
Epelâs eyes were wide, sparkling with wanderlust. Wistful and longing for the world that awaited him.
Perhaps Lilia had worn the same expression before, at the moment of his epiphany. When had he realized it? When the elderly couple had draped a blanket over him, when they shared a meal, when they spun him the stories of their lives, or when he sat at the cradle and relived those times to a still dormant Malleus?
The warmth in him expanded, like a gulp of soup trickling down his throat, then splashing in his stomach. It had been a humble broth of vegetables, and yet it satisfied him down to the last drop.
âWeâre really not so different,â Lilia explained with a grin. âFood and friends are all you need to have a good time wherever you are.
âHowever, if you are particularly fortunate, you just may have a guardian fairy descend and give you blessings as well.â He indicated the painting of the three fairies hovering over a cradle. âLike so. I believe this infant was gifted with song, beauty, andâŚâ
âSong and beauty?!â Epelâs expression crinkled. âWho decided on those, the parents?â
âThe guardian fairies themselves. They choose what they believe will bring the blessed child happiness.â
âThey couldâve given the kid something moreâŚâ Epel vaguely waved a hand. âI donât know, useful? Why not strength so they wonât lose any fights? Iâd be happy with some more muscle of my ownâŚâ
Lilia laughed, soft and low like a midnight whisper. âWhy not indeed.â
Because time steals away everything eventually, hissed a voice in his head. The truth, bare and bitter.
The edges of Liliaâs vision quivered. A memory resurfacedâblink, and he saw himself in the frame, his long shadow cast over the crib. Blink, and that was Silver nestled in the fabric. Blink, and the castle was abandoned and covered in thorns.
A fairy robbing a crib of its cursed child.
âStrength is good to have,â Lilia said slowly, âbut it will not last forever. Not many things do.â
Still⌠If I could have one wish, it would beâŚ
The only force able to break the spell set upon Silver. The one feeling he was certain he was incapable of. A love so pure and honest, it was known to be true.
Something he wasnât worthy of.
True love.
Not him. Not the grimy, low-born bat of a dubious pastâas his most unkind of thoughts would insist.
He was the same as them. He had condemned Silver to walking in the night, had made the decision for him. The instant his hair had turned from pale sunshine to the moonlight of his namesake, it was too late to unwind the clock.
Which had he castâblessing or curse?
The longer he looked at the painting, the more mocking the gentle, rounded faces of the guardian fairies seemed to become. Guiltless, oblivious beings, they were.
They would never know of his plight.
Lilia scoffed. âIf the fairies wanted the child to be happy, they should have granted them that strength.â
That which was impossible for him.
"The power to overcome a curse.â
"... The power to overcome a curse, huh?" Epel quietly mused. "Not even Vil-senpai has that kind of strength--and his unique magic is to cast curses! Until the conditions are fulfilled, it can't be broken."
"That's the trouble with curses," Lilia agreed. "They're finicky, depending on how they're woven. Some may even last a lifetime without ever being lifted. Others may spend their own lives seeking out cures."
The story of his life. He was always searching for something, something, something. Lost friends, how to hatch a dragon's egg, true love to dispel drowsiness.
Now, a happy ending.
Lilia released a sigh through his nose.
If only.
"Well, if magic can't make that wish come true... we'll just have to make it a reality ourselves, won't we?"

fish out of water | jjk
pairing: human!jungkook x mermaid!reader
summary: your routined excursion to the above world is at risk thanks to the harmless-looking stranger who might still be a threat to the discovery of your existence.
rating: nc-17 | word count: 1k
genre/au: fluff, modern retelling, fantasy, dark comedy, little mermaid!au
warnings/content: alcohol consumption, threats (playfully tho), near-death experience
a/n: to celebrate the official release of the Little Mermaid live-action movie and MerMay, hereâs a small thing from me ig cuz i canât just let this jungkook go. poll who atp sorry yâall i wrote this when i was missing him sm đ
The moon has always enamoured you.
The clouds around it add to the picturesque of what you could have painted if artworks can be perfectly stored underwater.
Watching it from above water is unparalleled when youâre observing it from underneath. You bask in the moonlight, occasionally closing your eyes and imagining being able to moon gaze like this every night. That would be impossible including staying here any longer as it is strictly forbidden for you to be out here in the open on land.
It doesnât matter as long as no one discovers you hereâ
âomg, a giant fish!â
You whirled right away in the direction of the loud voice, spotting its owner, a man walking sluggishly by the seashore towards you. Panic rushes through you at the prospect of being identified, your mind prompting you to think of possible ways of escape.
The position you are currently, sitting on top of the huge rocks unfortunately doesnât give you much of an advantage to attack him unless he comes near. And he was slurring words that youâre trying to decipher. He doesnât appear to have any weapons with him except for that strange transparent object in one hand with gold liquor in it.Â
You ready your stance the closer he gets, bracing both your clawed hands in front of you. He might use that object or the liquor against you. One of your advantages is the lack of enough light where the scenario wouldâve been different had it been during the day. You move your tail behind you so he wonât be able to see it further.Â
âoh wait, youâre pretty for a fish!â the strange man starts to giggle as a points at you and youâre in confusion.
Did he just compliment you? Arenât humans supposed to be scared of your kind?
âiâm not a fishâ you declare calmly despite the wave of anxiousness bubbling in you. He may be just a human but he could also be acting all innocent, a perfect bait to lure you to his other comrades that may be hiding somewhere.
Waiting to capture you.
Your father warned you of how vicious humans are so you must not trust him even though he seemed harmless. Youâve looked around and a bit of relief washes through you when you found no one on the shore aside from him. Still, you mustnât lower your guard.Â
You continue to observe the man as he continues to walk where youâre sitting by the rocks. Only then you can see his face more clearly. Heâs pleasing to look at, different from the humans that youâve seen in fishing boats before. Wearing only a plain white shirt, its top buttons are undone which makes him more dashing than he already is.Â
The simple loose pants heâs wearing perk your interest as you quite canât figure out what material it was made of yet.Â
âi must be drunk holy shit, iâm talking to a fishâ he continues to laugh, smiling brightly while looking up to the sky and youâre getting warier of what he is planning.
Youâre running out of time and this man is wasting it. You promised the others that you wonât be that long. You wouldnât want them to come back and find you in a company of a human boy.
Heâs right in front of you now, drinking whatâs left of the strange object heâs holding before placing it on the dark sand. Youâre surprised that he was able to stand up again, wobbly, sure, but it did not affect how heâs acting around you.
Quite the opposite for you the closer he gets.
Your eyes couldnât help but follow his right arm, adorned with dark markings, some with colour but you couldnât see the rest of it since he rolled his sleeves up until his elbows.
âhow can i be a fish and talk to you like this?â
The man stares at you with furrowed eyebrows, confusion evident on his face. Only then that you notice his hair, slightly damp curly that almost reaches the base of his neck.
âi can see your tailâ he responds with a bit of clarity now, still confused but his curiosity overpowered it. Heâs now trying to see behind the rocks, to see more of what the moonlight can show. He looks adorable, tip-toeing to get a glimpse of your tail and youâre tempted to show him just so he can leave you alone.
Fully revealing yourself could scare him or not but youâll try. It worked with others before along with many threats. If not, then you could kill him though he doesnât look like he can harm you in this state.
âi could eat you, but i'm full alreadyâ you hiss, trying to sound threatening and staring him down with a glare but the man starts laughing hysterically instead.
"i'm supposed to be eating you since you're a fish" he wheezes as he shakes his head, enough for him to lose his balance.
You catch him just in time and you have no idea why you did. You couldâve just let him fall on the rocks in front of you and call your sisters for another feast but you couldnât find it in you to let it happen.
âdamn..strong..fishâ he slurred before losing consciousness in your arms. In a strange way, you find yourself smiling at the strangerâs remarks. He might be well-built but he weighs like nothing to you with your inhuman strength.
Up close, his rosy cheeks are glowing and youâre unable to avoid touching them, feeling the warmth coursing through you. Albeit your bodyâs much colder than humans, it piques your interest that he feels warmer than the others youâve held before. You can also smell the bitter scent wafting off of him, leading you to think that all this was because of that golden liquor that he consumed.
You eye the glassy object, looking back and forth between him and it on what to do next. But his face distracts you again, noticing the pieces of jewelry on him. A silver necklace is peeking out underneath his shirt and only his right ear has silver bands on them. Youâve also noticed a ring-like silver metal attached to the right corner of his lower lip.
Is this a new way of putting on jewelry?Â
It seems that you have plenty of things to catch up on and this man might help you with it.Â
But will he when once wakes up or will he turn out just like the others?Â
e/n: i have big plans for this one but weâll see lmao. lmk what you think tho!

I know you probably won't continue this since it's been almost two years but recently I saw your Submas comic again with Emmet somehow ending up in Hisui with the help of Celebi and reuniting with his brother but also getting the consequences of his actions/neglect in taking care of himself (also probably Hisui being harsh to his already weakened state)
I imagined how it could continue (not written down anywhere just living rent free in the brain of yours truly) and I feel like sharing it with you since you inspired me:
We left off as Ingo weeps in front of Emmet sleeping... After he wakes up from his weeping Ingo and Sneasler reluctantly leave as Emmet has no signs of regaining consciousness or improving. Something tells Ingo that what his brother needs might be back in their original time with much better health care.
Similar to him Ingo seeks out Dialga and Palkia begging them to help him save his brother. They have just reunited and he doesn't dare to think what happens if Emmet doesn't get the treatment he needs.
Celebi is also still around and Ingo makes the decision to return to the future to help save Emmet. Sacrificing everything just like he did.
[off screen he makes his good byes get's one of Sneaslers Eggs as a parting gift and they return back to the future]
Next time we cut to the twins it's in the hospital when Emmet regains consciousness. Half awake he is distraught first because being in hospital means it was all a dream and he is all alone again. Waterworks start until he notices a presence by his bedside. Ingo. Totally exhausted and seemingly recently fallen asleep. Waterworks start even harder because Ingo is right there. It was real after all. Ingo awakes and wakes up and they hug and weep.
the end

I know you're not fond of fanworks of your fanworks so I don't know if you even like this stupid little idea (also if you even remember the fanart and all that from way back when) I don't plan on sharing this anywhere outside to you. Take it if you want or leave and delete it. I just felt like sharing it with you since you inspired me.
I just want to say thank you because even after all this time your few works of art for submas fill me with joy and I smile each time I scroll past them on my dashboard. All your artworks are simply amazing and I know that you definitely make so many people happy with your content. Keep doing what you love because you do awesome! Take care and thank you for reading this far into this long message.
Awwee!! This is so sad yet adorable at the same time!! đđđ What a sweet way to wrap up Ingo and Emmets journey! :}}
And thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear that you liked my submas stuff and that it's inspired you! Even though I didn't draw much for it.. đ
Perhaps someday when I'm feeling better I'll get back around to submas again.. đđ

My analysis on lostshipping in "Land of Lost Things"! (DR EP16)
Hi, don't mind me yapping about Cole x Geo. I've been REALLY obsessed with them lately. I'm going to be analyzing the episode they were introduced in and providing a few theories about how cole and geo's relationship could (realistically) turn out. (I don't want to be too hopefulđđđ)
This is gonna be a long one, so be prepared. (sorry if it's too long and if there's any grammar or spelling mistakes. I'm writing this at 1 AMđ)
ANALYSIS:
The first thing you see when Cole is introduced in DR is him being a rock monster. This raises a few questions:
1. Why was he in his rock monster form?
2. How did get get that ability?
And my response/theory is:
1. The hoarder was out there while the kids were exploring, so Cole and Geo got worried and Cole and (not) Geo activated his rock monster ability to find and protect the kids. (I'm saying this bcs Cole and Geo basically held hands right before Nya n Sora arrived there đđ)
2. Maybe Cole and Geo were in a dire/life-threatening situation with the hoarder and Cole felt lost. Perhaps Geo held Cole's hand to comfort him during the situation which did something to cole.... Maybe deep down, Cole wanted to find balance in the situation and Geo was his "balance" because of how comforting he felt. So he felt like he needed Geo at that moment. Then, it led to Cole activating his ability :p
After Cole was introduced they established the concepts on how the LoLT(land of lost things) work (people and things who end up there were forgotten and stuff like that) and Cole says something along the lines of "You don't get a ton of news in the land of lost things" which makes me think that Cole had stayed in the LoLT for quite some time and that he hasn't been able to get information outside the LoLT.
It got me thinking that maybe Cole was so occupied with his newfound family (Geo, Bonzle, Fritz and Spitz) that he decided to live several years protecting his "family" and didn't think much about finding the ninjas... so he was just stuck there and couldn't do much about it, even if he could leave :( So maybe he decided to make the most out of it, like bonding with his family.
Later in the episode we see Geo being worried about the kids (basically acting like their dad) and smiling at Cole when he enters the noodle cup. JUST LOOK AT THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HIM IM CRYINNNF THEYRE SO CUTE!!! T_T
And the way they exchange dialogue is sweet. They sound like they care about each other, like the first thing Geo says to Cole is "Are you alright?" and Cole warmly reassures Geo that he's ok to calm him down. This suggests that Geo worries abt the people he cares about a lot! ^_^
Another thing is that Geo says that he'd distract the hoarder and tells Cole and the others to leave. Cole doesn't even retaliate or express his worries, which shows that he trusts Geo. Then shortly after, everyone is on a cliff and Nya asks "What about Geo?" In response, Cole proudly crosses his arms says, "Just watch."
This scene alone already shows how close and familiar he is with Geo. Cole is confident about Geo's abilities and knows that he can take care of himself. However, Geo expresses his worries when Cole is potentially in danger. (we'll talk more about this later)
After the Hoarder loses its hand, the gang looks at Geo's artworks and Cole proudly talks about Geo's abilities (with geo smiling at him in the bg).
When they reach home they find the dragon core, but just as Nya was about to take it, Cole refuses to let her take it because he knew it would but everyone (including his family) in danger since it was the thing keeping them safe from the hoarder.
What I found really interesting about this scene is that Cole went quiet when Nya suggested that they could all leave right after taking the dragon core. Geo had to speak up and tell Nya that Cole could leave but the finders couldn't. Maybe Cole didn't want to admit that he willingly stayed with the finders even though he had the option to leave, and Geo stepped in since Cole seemed uncomfortable? But that could be a stretch, lol.
Then Sora makes a plan, blah blah blah, but then we find out that Geo is a mix of Geckle and Munce and that nobody accepted him, which led him to being forgotten.
Then everyone gets attacked yadda yadda yadda, but then the dragon core gets stolen and Geo doesn't hesitate to attack and get the dragon core back. But Geo ends up falling off a drone but then he falls on a dragon Cole was riding. Then Cole's like "Fancy meeting you here!" which could be read as suble flirting (but then again, this could be a stretch)
Then there's a scene where Cole asks Geo to power him up, and Geo tries to tell Cole the truth about his ability but Cole was in a rush so they did the holding hands thingy (yay!) and the glow makes a heart shape :3
Ok so after Sora captures the imperium sewage cleaner thing Geo confesses to hiding the fact that his powers doesn't work on living things and that he wasn't actually powering Cole up.
This scene is my favorite because it shows Geo's vulnerable side :D It also shows that Geo can be unintentionally distrusful at times. I mean, given his past experience with people not accepting him + Geo being literally forgotten i think we could get why he would be scared of losing Cole. He was scared that the only person who accepted him for who he was and made him feel lovedâunlike the geckle and munceâwould leave.
And our favorite line from Cole spoken here is "But I do need you." which FEELS SO SPECIAL TO ME CUZ Geo, someone who was never accepted by either races, was an outcast and was unloved, ended up being told that he was NEEDED by the person who made him feel loved and cared for. It's the sweetest thing ever bro I honestly got emotional at that scene
And that's the end of my analysis!!! But wait, there's more!!!
Here is how I think their relationship will end up like:
1. I think they'd be pretty close, like "kissin the homes goodnight" kinda close.
2. They'll DEFINITELY KISS 567 TIMES
3. THEY WILL CONFESS THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND MARRY EACH OTHER!!!!1! THEY WILL BE WEARING WEDDING DRESSES ARRRRRRRGHHHH
4. But fr tho if they do actually have romantic feelings for each other, I think the show would try to keep it low-key and not too obvious. Like they'd make Cole and Geo interact with each other in a caring way and the writers would throw suble hints or something :p Sorta like Cole x Vania but gay and more obvious idk HSJSBSH
5. Y'all I cant even continue this bcs I'm crying about how cute they are I think I'm gonna puke rainbowsđđđđđ anyways thanks for your time and have a wonderfully epic day. (also make sure to manifest cole x geo to be canon PLEASEEEE))

Sorry but your recent artwork has me thinking about parent Varigo and I have to dump my thoughts somewhere. I feel like, if they actually had a kid it would be really emotional for them but in different ways. Varian finds out heâs pregnant and is a little scared at first, but he actually adjusts to the idea pretty fast and is excited about it, because heâs in a good place now and has a good support system. He doesnât have to worry about his family judging him, he knows theyâll still see him for who he is. Hugo on the other hand is terrified. But not because he doesnât wanna be a dad, heâs pretty excited about that, heâs just really scared that Varian is going to get sick from the pregnancy, or that the whole experience is gonna be too much for him. He feels like this is just another thing heâs âputting Varian throughâ because heâs still not quite over the guilt of his betrayal years ago, and now itâs coming back to haunt him. They work it out of course and Hugo realizes that itâs gonna be okay and that he also can depend on Varianâs family for support because theyâre his family too. Now Iâm emotional. Anyway I love your art <3
AUGHHHH YEAH YEAH THIS IS SO REAL!!!!! i love plots like that fr, their characters are so fun to exploređđđ Honestly? i think in the right circumstances hugo could be a deadbeat dad. like he could just straight up leave bc heâs paranoid varian or the kid would get hurt or heâd put them in danger or something. heâs the kind of guy whoâs always Running! like i could think of scenarios where heâd run away on their wedding day too. those are both horrible extremes SORRY FOR THE ANGST I JUST THINK ITâS NEAT.
i think hugoâs always WANTED a family but its something sheâs always viewed as unachievable, mostly bc of the shitty living situation hes been in for most of his life. she could barely survive on her own and sheâd never want to drag someone else into that yk? and sheâs still scared of that commitment even after she moves into the castle, bc what if she DID have a kid and then something happened and she couldnât take care of them anymore, or she ends up on the streets againâŚ.and what if she just ends up abandoning them? what if sheâs no better than the parents she never even knew? itâs like, obviously she wouldnât do any of those things or be in those situations but she hasâŚ.a Lot of anxiety around it for sure. but i also think that she tries to adopt literally every orphan she and varian see. she LOVES kids as much as she pretends she doesnât and its very obviousâŚ.she just hasnât really had the privilege to be able to think about it until now.
varianâŚi think he goes either way, he doesnât really plan to have kids but heâll kinda learn to adjust to whatever, heâs also just a very family oriented guy so heâs definitely not opposed to that kind of role. in my head they usually adopt bc i think varian like, Hates anything related to the human body at all so even disregarding the gender dysphoria pregnancy is SO gross to him. idk why i just think heâs silly like that. hell make bombs and poisonous chemicals but he remembers people have organs and he wants to throw up. iâm not opposed to the idea of them having biological kids at all thoughâŚespecially considering all the art iâve already drawn for itâs us against the world LOL. personally i think even if he werenât opposed to the idea heâd be miserable the entire time, and not even like in a serious way necessarily heâs just REALLY mad that he canât work in the lab anymore. heâs pissed about EVERYTHING, actually. heâs bored and heâs tired and he canât work and he feels like shit and he doesnât really have any other hobbies either. his whole life and routine has been completely fucked over for nine months and SURE he loves the kid and heâs excited but like why does it need to be in there that long. why canât it just come from the stork or something. đ/j
i think he might pick a few fights with hugo bc of it, just because heâs so overwhelmed and emotional and doesnât know how to handle it, but hugoâs really understanding; also theyâll honestly take any kind of treatment from him because theyâre like, âYeah i probably deserved thatâ. which varian does NOT like btw and always gets on his ass later to stick up for himself more while also in tears apologizing for yelling at him
idk i just think them as parents would be Sooo silly. neither of them have any clue what theyâre doing. dude if those two had a baby? Dude can you imagine? varianâs sooo fucking sheltered i think heâs only interacted with like, 2 babies in his entire life. quirin stays with them for tje first few weeks bc varian literally just has NO clue what heâs doing and is crying to him all the time. and hugo like, has an idea of what to do but heâs also SUPER paranoid. theyâre both just staring at the kid while they sleep not so much out of adoration but because theyâre just terrified theyâll stop breathing at any moment. you cant convince me that either of them know how to change a diaper. Theyâre gonna bring out like full lab gear. like the gag where the dads will pull out full hazmat suits for the diaper change. Thatâs them idc
ruddiger is also SO protective of their kids from the moment theyâre born, like he jumps up into the crib and snuggles up with them and they always IMMEDIATELY stop crying. olivia is the opposite. sheâs kinda like a toddler who just got a new sibling she didnât want. shes pissed that she isnât getting hugoâs full attention and keeps being a brat about it. hugoâs just trying to calm down his baby and olivias glaring at him while sheâs about to push a glass off the table
yeah idk i. have a lot of thoughts abt them too theyâre so beloved to me

Realistic Ace Trappola + Headcanons
Ace headcanons + realistic artwork done with Art Breeder and edited in Clip Art Studio:
Okay so getting straight into it, this is my first post about my headcanons and realistic versions of twisted wonderland characters and the first one being introduced is *drumroll* Ace Trappola! Ace fans, you eating good tonight my chickies (that sounds so weird if u dont think of chickens right away LMFAO).
Sidenote: When headcanoning Ace and all my other characters, I take both factual and some of my personal thoughts/beliefs of the character to construct my headcanons.
So for Ace, its evident that I gave him acne due to reasoning such as his diet (fav food being cherry pie and mentioning his liking towards burgers) plus he is literally a teen boy that also has no women in his life and stereotypically the mother is the one to bring up looks as an issue, so without this Ace probably would have never gotten the right treatment for his acne.Â
Heâs already a red head so I added on that by giving him freckles. Also, it's known that redheads are more prone to acne, so another note as to why I gave him acne.
For his features for a realistic rendition, I went with a heart shaped face (because Aceâs card suit is hearts) but his widow's peak is hidden beneath his bangs. He has a snub nose shape which is quite round and slightly upturned. He has thicker eyebrows cause we all know bro donât give a shit about his appearance.
For his hair I went wild, it's extremely fluffy, a bit curly and like shoulder length when wet. Bro has had like two haircuts his whole life and probably smells foul. I also tried to keep to the original style pretty closely without it looking really weird like bro came straight out of an anime.Â
I didn't draw the bodies for any of them but Ace is more lanky with long legs and a rectangular body shape, but he has pretty big feet and hands.
Yeah and he's got a light British accent gang Iâm sorry đ â he uses slang often as well.
Without & With Face Makeup:
Personality and backstory headcanons + a bit of character analysis:
Okay so Ace is one of the very first characters we meet in the game and a good one at that, a lot of people just put him in the category of âdumb friend with one brain cellâ, and yes that's kinda true but every person had a reason to be the way they are due to personal experiences. We know in canon that Ace has always lived with his father and older brother but due to the literally no backstory on his mum, Iâm saying his parents are divorced which he has much more time with his dad, also by his mannerism being so straight to the point and not sugar coated, this could be due to him being raised in an only male household. Which could also hint to why he âdidn't feel committedâ to his former relationship in middle school, he was so new to this type of love and got scared. After all he is just a teen, cut my boy some slack. (#1 Ace defender)Â
Due to this relationship with his mother and seeing how his parents fell out of love, fought or similar, heâs very bad with women which is why he has only male friends. The only way he would have a girlfriend (or woman friend) is if they were not sensitive to his zero-filter way of speaking and even tell him off for it. (not me doing this since my yuusona is a girl đ)
It's still mentioned that the whole family gets together around holidays (although this could possibly just mean his grandma and such and not the mothers side) so maybe the divorce wasn't messy and they just didn't love each other anymore, which happens all the time with quick relationships.
Ace is also pretty immature and not into deep and emotional conversations which is common with teen boys (especially around his age group). So not trying to hate, but all those scenarios made up with him comforting the reader and helping them feel better, in reality, he probably wouldnât have gotten why you're so sad and not really know how to comfort you. Which is completely fine! He's not fully grown in body or mind and people need to accept this.
He definitely makes your mum jokes and sex jokes, bro cannot stop himself laughing when a teacher says anything sex related. He's highly competitive and will sulk if he loses a basketball game or bet with a friend.
Also despite being not very empathetic (not on purpose though), he appreciates the little things. For example, heâd appreciate you remembering his birthday or always having a spare pencil for him in class as you know he always loses his. He really appreciates those friends and even though he lacks in some areas, he will always protect them and stay by their side no matter what.
In conclusion, he's just some teen boy who's still learning about life and people. I had a lot of fun making the realistic design and giving him more depth as a character and I'll be doing this for the rest of the cast and after that maybe side characters?? Only if you guys want it though, Iâll also one day release my yuusona đ. (sheâs my queen get ready yall (hi iâm the 10/10 editor and assistant đ)) (together, we are big brain)
My editor/assistant cause I canât grammar or spell to save my life: @cyb3rpnnkÂ
SIDENOTE: DO NOT REPOST MY REALISTIC RENDITION OF ACE OR ANY OTHER CHARCTER I DO AS YOUR OWN. EVEN THOUGH THE BASE WAS MADE WITH AI IT IS STILL MY CREATION!
However you are permitied to use my headcanoing as your own for art or stories or whatever, just not my realistic rendition.
Hope you enjoyed my take on realistic Ace and my headcanoning!

Anything fluffy or maybe even a meet-cute. Would love to hear your thoughts/drabble. Thank you for all the works so far!!!! đŤ
Girl dont make me cry! Also sorry this took 150years and its not my best work so if you want another one let me knowđđ
Drabbles to headcannon ft. Choso kamo
Sketching out the park in the yard of the apartment conplex you live in you sigh frustratedly tearing yet another page out the book.
âYou must like treesâ a tiny voice says next to you and you notice its one of your neighbors the energetic little boy with pink hair who youve swear youve seen kick through concrete.
âI just cant find the right colorâ you pout and his eyes widen at all the color pencils you have.
âMy brothers good at coloring, he stays in the lines real good. We can ask himâ he grins looking behind you and you see a stressed looking man nearly running toward you. His eyes soften when he sees you.
âCho! She needs help coloringâ the tiny boy beams unphased by his brothers distressed state.
Theres large amounts of cursed energy coming from you but you dont seem to be a threat.
âYuji what did i tell you about running offâ he huffs out his robes moving as swiftly as he does. Yujis eyes get watery and his bottom lip trembles.
âBut oni-chanâ he whines and chosos face instantly softens and you think the soft spot he has for his little brother is adoreable. He somehow convinces his brother to color your trees and you notice he isnt half bad.
âYour struggling because your using one shade of red for the leaves when it should be three to capture how they fade into brownâ he points out which you arent too happy to receive.
What? Youre an artist and youre sensitive about your work. You make an excuse to leave shortly after and head back to your apartment.
A few days later you hear a soft knock on your door and to your suprise find Choso and little yuji who smiles brightly at you.
âOni-chann bought you colored pencils! Its the expensive onesâ yuji beams excitedly holding up the gift bag and Choso jaw drops looking at his brother.
âActually he seen a coloring book he wanted to get youâŚand i noticed i may have offended you the other night so its a peace offeringâ he speaks and you notice the marking on his nose you want to ask questions but itâs rude.
Your living room had been transformed into a art studio with paintings, paint, blank canvases pencils and loose sketches floating around and Yuji can help his self as he runs in looking over each piece. Choso is ready to apologize but you instead walk over to yuji explaining all the different artworks and hes shocked at the way he holds onto every word you say.
Its something about the way youre so good with yuji that makes something in him stir not sexual but its like heâs seeing you for the first time.Â
Yuji comes over every day after school⌠which means Choso comes over every day.
You start learning how heâs basically good at every thing cooking, drawing, playing instruments, origamii, baking, it actually pissed you off sometimes it was becoming a game of âanything you can do i can do better and make yours look uselessâ And you were losing.
Itâs when he begins coming over without yuji that you enjoy spending time with him and you notice heâs alot more relaxed the pressure to be the best is gone.
Heâs only trying to be the best to impress his little brother.
He enjoys doing little things to make life easier for you, taking out the trash, helping with dishes even keeps your company on wash day. Itâs the day he collapses from exhaustion on your couch that you realizes heâs such a people pleaser for people he cares about.
And touch deprived. He falls apart when you place a hand on his forehead dark eyes void of anything just enjoying your proximity.
His favorite place is your lap where he lays his head and closes his eyes as you massage his scalp running your fingers through it, his 2 signature buns long gone.
Itâs when you hear his soft snores that you turn down the t.v and set an alarm for when you have to get Yuji from school.
Choso never pressures you into anything sexual or even talks about it, why?
Hes our asexual king!
Heâs happy with the quality time and returned acts of service the two of you give another. He gets his fill from watching you and yuji interact. He gets his fill when you see the tiredness in his baggy eyes and pat your lap for him to lay down.Â
He gets his fill when you ramble about your day and coworkers and the latest telfar Bag drop. He LOVESSSS going to the hair supply store and when you let him smell the hair products.
He knows better than to use it because he looked up hair type when you went on a rant about your hair having 2 different hair types.
He closed the window when it began talking about weave because you said you didnât wear that and that yes your hair grew 36 inches over night and changed texture (you still giggle to yourself about it because he was either so gullible or too polite to ask)
Purposely leaves his hair ties so he has a reason to come back, though between Yuji and his great cooking skills he was always welcomed.

Do you know about the Marchil h-doujin, just called "Marchil Meshi"? (Dunno wether you're comfortable about adult content regarding the ship. If not, sorry and feel free to ignore).
Imagine my surprise⌠When a few months ago, I was looking up places to buy doujins for dunmeshi online bc of that new-ish laimar (sfw) doujin and I find, many many nsfw ones bUT AMONGST THE HORDEâŚÂ MARCHIL MESHI. I ate it up. Itâs a lil iconic to me ngl, I quote it in my head sometimes. Marcille angrily gesturing always gets me cackling. It honestly has no business being this good, it was made pretty early on in the story so many years ago, and STILL! So in character, and honestly so funny, AND no weird business either.
Like listen, I scour the internet, looking for any marchil content, any marchil content at all⌠And find a dry af desert, no life here, literally jackshit nothing. Only Pixiv has some afaik but the nsfw is def⌠Hm. đ (2 fics tagged chirumaru on there btw!! That arenât mine lol) Thank you marchil meshi author if I had to pick 1 piece of marchil nsfw to exist Iâd choose this one (honestly thatâs already so close to reality lol) Thank u Asaki Takayuki I owe u my life. I like zines but Iâve never bought doujins before so it didnât cross my mind, but dunmeshi is taking a lot of my first times in fandom engagement and I bought said laimar doujin just the other day heheÂ
I do want to keep my blog generally sfw but yes Iâm 100% cheering on nsfw marchil content from the shadows, glad that ao3âs finally getting some too. I hope that fic writer makes more⌠Tallman Chil is so so good but I hope they also do some more general premises, which the end notes on that one do make me hopeful đ I want more marchil writers in general. More marchil fanartists. Sfw nsfw idk I need to be fed đ (<- This post was drafted before that new marchil smut fic WOOHOO. So much new marchil content this week!!)
Oh while Iâm here, I find this so funny/odd, but in japanese fandom ship names are simply the beginning of each name smushed together, like marchil or chilmar. The order of the names is that the first one is the "top"⌠Idk how jp fandoms live without switches but aight, but in m/f ships this means that typically the man is the first half of the ship name right. WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT marchil is so much more used than chilmar lmaoo. Even more stats: On Pixiv, the tag marchil had all the artworks, but the chilmar tag had all the fics. Ainât that wack to think about. Anyways marchil or chilmar idc you go guys
Sighh thinking about them. They are so "I beg your pardon??!" "Then beg", "Fuck you!" "Fuck me yourself you coward"⌠Forget stamens and pistils, Chil is the cursed "You see, there are keys and there are locksâŚ"
More under cut since I donât get to talk about this often, screenshots and hcs for horny time
^ said panel that lives rent free in my head and makes me giggle. I wish Iâd just put the whole page here itâs my fave but nahh go find it yourself
Why are they like this. Like what is thatttt
I need to stop collecting these Iâm making myself feel insane (thank you fic writer for that last one Iâd never noticed but omg)
Alright hc time what was I gonna talk about⌠Ah yes ah yes. I def think Chil is a pest, heâs horny and he wants sex and is flagrant about it, but also we know that he stayed faithful for 4 years without getting any, I feel like realistically the relationship sex wise would 100% be on Marcilleâs pace. And this is the fun part, bc would Marcille be very eager? Would she want to do the romance book correctâ˘ď¸ route and that means no tapping until marriage, or he needs to court her all princely first? I hc that elves have a much lower libido than humans because of the whole long af lifespan thing, itâd be kinda funny if Marcille was like "Letâs take things slow⌠đĽş" aka first base achieved after two years of being together lol
But seee thatâs the thing too bc Marcille is so afraid of loss she might rush through things as well, she very well could like, jump on him right after confessing. Is Chilchuck kind of a shithead or is he very gentlemanly and romantic, wanting to do it right and treat her well? They are such a blank canvas of sexual chemistry listen LISTENNN there are just so so many ways you can go with them they are so special. God the banter⌠They cannot stop bantering for a second I swear
So many kinks they could fit⌠I like uhh praise kink for him and for her⌠Idk she just really loves him and the emotional adoration is whatâs at the core of her enjoying it all so like, loving Chilchuck kink, which turns out those two really match together 𫶠He makes her sing and ummm um you see where this goes. They are so grossly in love and into each other
They are so domestic. I hate them

Cater, Ruggie: The Secret in a Smile
Caycay, bestie⌠I am so sorry that SSR Crowley stole your spotlight đ (Is that why Cater looks so Mean Girls in his groovy... He's seeking petty revenge against Crowley/j)
Some cute stuff from the vignettes that I wasn't able to include in this fic: Cater makes a reference to TsumTsums! He mentions being into this mobile game with cute round creatures. Cater also tells a story about a 5-year old girl giving him a flower after his club's performance at a cultural festival (omg, do they mean the one in book 5?!). Ruggie teases him and says Cater must have been that little girl's first crush đ
A Tale as Old as Time.
âNe, ne, Ruggie-kun! Check this one out~ It's all the way from the Queendom of Roses!"
Cater jabbed a thumb at a painting of a young blonde girl dressed in a modest sky blue frock and apron, a small black bow in her hair. She couldnât have been older than 10 years of age, still petite enough to squish inside a glass bottle with a narrow neck. The bottled child was adrift in a sudsy sea, her face frozen in an expression of slight worry.
Ruggie took one look at the artwork, then wrinkled his nose. âSure sucks to be in her shoes. Whatâs this even supposed to show us, anyway? Doesnât make a whole lotta sense to me.â
"Not a lot from the Queendom does if you aren't already familiar with its topsy-turvy stories~" Cater placed a hand on his hip and leaned forward, grinning. "This one is pretty popular! It's about a girl that wants an audience with the Queen of Hearts. She gets lost on the journey there, meets strange people and experiences even stranger things on the way. This is just one leg of that trip!"
"Wouldnât the castle be further inland? How'd she end up in the middle of the ocean?"
âItâs about the perspective of the shot.â Cater formed a frame with his hands, catching his underclassman in it. He pulled back, creating the illusion of sizing Ruggie down. âShe drank this bottled liquid she found and that shrank her downâso really, the ocean isnât that big.â
A grimace.
âMan, talk about no sense of self preservation. She just chugged an unlabeled bottle without a second thought. Mustâve been real desperate.â Ruggie paused. âWeeeell, not like Iâm one to talk about being desperate. You really canât afford to be picky sometimes. If it fills your stomach, it fills your stomach.â
âYouâd drink it too, huh⌠I donât think I could do that. Iâd at least want to see how the menu describes it before I orderâthough I guess it also depends on how âcammable the drink is! And hey, think about all the cool pics I could grab from a worm's eye point of view!â
"Heh, you don't seem too pressed about living life as an ant."
"Cay-kun likes to look on the bright side of things!" he declared with a wink and a peace sign. "The lost girl... she worried so much about finding her destination, she forgets to stop and smell the roses. She overlooks a lot of the fun people she could have spent time with."
Hopping from place to place, missed peopleâfamiliar elements, resurfacing a childhood of being uprooted and dragged about. Never to fully settle.
A tea party here, a brief convo there. Just enough to keep him placated, but not enough to see beyond the surface of the looking glass.
His curiosity still left wanting.
She got into so much trouble, but didn't have any real friends to come and help her.
Sadness tugged at his heartstrings, but Cater's smile didnât waver.
"... I canât help but kinda pity the poor thing," he said quietly. Then, brightening in the next moment, "All her issues could've been avoided if she just looked before she leapt and made some connections."
âYeah, she definitely shouldâve played smarter, not harder. Maybe if she kissed up to the locals, theyâd have come to her rescue." Ruggie shrugged. "It works for me and Leona-san."
âRight? A smile goes a long way to getting what you want!â Cater poked the corners of his mouth. âYou totes get me.â
âCuz it takes a trickster to know another one on sight.â
"Wow, it sounds so mean when you put it like that. We're not tricksters, we just know how to use our smiles to problem-solve~"
"Giving a word a fresh coat of paint doesn't make it any less shady. At least be honest with yourself," the hyena smirked.
âEeeh, Iâm always honest!â
They shared a laughâRuggie, a snicker. Cater, lighter, more bubbly, like a carbonated mystery drink. When the effervescence died down, he cast another glance at the painting.
Too big for her small world of the sea, too small for the big world that loomed beyond it. Trapped within glass walls. Curled into herself in her delicate chambers.
Her perspective and his, one and the same.
Poor thing, poor thing, poor thing.
Cater summoned his strength and bore the full brunt of his smile.
âIâm sure sheâll find what sheâs looking for⌠one day.â

As your common mythology enjoyer I always adore seeing the way myths evolve and transform through the times and end up adapting to the peopleâs views and needs.
Since any good mythological pantheon has its own clashing sources, do you think there would have been some myths pertaining to Saviorâs and Oizysâs relationship? Even though it is quite clear that they had a strong friendship that is never stopping the people from fantasising and over glamorising their dynamic into something leaning more towards the romantic?
I donât know why but ever since seeing Pierroâs heated reaction after his battle with that corrupted version of Oizys⌠I couldnât stop wondering how would he react if some of his subordinates discovered some rather⌠interesting representations of both those deities during their glory days⌠(I pity his subordinates sm sometimes)
Iâm mainly bringing this up because Iâve recently had to do some research concerning art in Ancient Greece and Rome and the things those people would depict in public spaces or simply in their art is wild đ
Read my Yandere! Pierro fics first!!
Disjecta Membra ⧠Chess Piece
Naturally, there are several references to Savior and Oizysâs millennia-long friendship. On the tamer end of the spectrum, they often appear in each otherâs religious art. A pair of figures in pottery fragments. The recurring motif of mist in paintings of the Child of Night. Myths of their first meeting, their glory days, Oizysâs role in Saviorâs birthday festivals, etc.
Those artifacts donât really bother Pierro. He already knows that they were close in the past, and why should he feel threatened by a ghost? And the more relics of his darling, the better, right? The romantic interpretations of their relationship say otherwise.
A few ancient texts call them âlovers.â Another cites their living arrangement as the guide to a proper marriage. One sculpture imagines them mourning Pasitheaâs deathâŚin a rather intimate embrace. And according to ancient Miserian tradition, gifting someone embroidery is equal to a love confession. The origins for the last one are long-forgotten, but Pierro easily connects it to Saviorâs craft and Oizysâs fashion choices.
The last straw is the erotic art. To think that Pierro used to âappreciate" artworks of Savior in her old, skimpy attire; now he glares at Oizysâs indecent figure and tells his subordinates to erase it. Come to think of it, didnât Savior once say that they shared a bed?
One day, he casually mentions it to Savior and her immediate reaction is laughter. Yes, those misunderstandings exist. Sure, there were a few times that she and Oizys satisfied each otherâs physical needs, but lovers? No, they were dear friends and that was their preferred label. And Pierro wouldâve been satisfied with that answer had she left it at that.
âFunnily enough, Vesta and I were never portrayed as lovers even though we were. Probably because most humans thought we were relatedâum, Pierro? Why are you looking at me like that?â
The next day, the Fatui is given orders to destroy every temple and relic belonging to the Lord of the Hearth.
