This Week in BL - new entries upset the rankings
Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
April 2024 Wk 2
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
City of Stars (Fri iQIYI) ep 11 of 12 - Like most Thai BL pulps, this show doesn’t have much story to it. But I'm discovering that what it does have I actually really enjoy. I love that the gay boys got to play matchmaker for a change and I like how just GAY they are. It's nice. Refreshing.
We Are (Weds GMMTV iQIYI) ep 1-2 of 16 - University ensemble BL featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawinPoon. I like it. It’s old school Thai BL, but having fun with itself and its tropes. I’m not expecting much, so I don’t mind it waffling. All the couples are comfy. Chemistry is okay. Friendships are nifty. I like Pond's floppy hair. We fine. 
Two Worlds (Thurs IQIYI) ep 5 of 10 - What an extremely bloody episode. And bad guy turned out to be very bad indeed. And now pretty much everyone is dead. Nice kiss. Of course. 
Tumblr media
Deep Night (Thurs iQiyi) ep 6 of 8 - It’s cute, they happy, not a ton happened. Random gratuitous bathing. As you do in BL. And I still think the sides should just end up in a thrupple
Only Boo! (Sun YouTube) ep 2 of 12 - Oh they very cute. Also very silly. 
Tumblr media
1000 Years Old (Thurs iQIYI) ep 9 of 12 - No. NOT THE GUITAR. YES abandon guitar for the sniff test! Love this for them. And me. My most favorite trope defeated my least favorite trope. VICTORY!!!  
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Unknown (Taiwan Tues YouTube & Viki) ep 8 of 11 - It’s just so good. Baby went away, grew up, and learned how to become a temptation... and a husband. 
Tumblr media
Gray Shelter AKA Gray Currents (Korea Thurs iQIYI) 1 of 5 eps - SooHyuk, only just surviving, reunites with YoonDae, his (brief) younger stepbrother who feels abandoned. They end up living together. The younger brother is played by Lee Jae Bin of Choco Milk Shake. OMG. STEPBROTHERS TROPE. Lucky me! Two in one season. Yay!!!! It's Korea so great visuals too. I shallow but yeah, this is great.
Living With Him AKA Kare no Iru Seikatsu (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 1 of 10 - Kindly Ryota goes off to uni only to find his new roommate is his childhood bestie, Kazuhito. Kazuhito doesn’t have a girlfriend and Ryota tries to help him figure out why. Same director as Old Fashion Cupcake. It’s utterly charming. I am charmed. Also the framing is gorgeous (of course). Very stylish.
Love is Better the Second Time Around AKA Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto (Japan Weds Gaga) ep 6fin - I don’t know. Kind of a flat ending with the leads apart for most of it. I enjoyed this show but it never really hit with me. 
Tumblr media
Summation
After a teen betrayal and resulting separation a reporter reunites with his first love. That love wants him back. I enjoyed the authenticity of a reunion romance explored in Japan's quintessentially contemplative yet surreal way. The juxtaposition of the tenderness of the sex scenes with this Japanese style of authenticity was oddly elegant but all in all this still fell a little flat for me. There's nothing objectively wrong with it, but in total the narrative felt sluggish and the main couple were just... stiff (in the wrong way). Frankly, I'd rather just rewatch Tokyo in April is. 8/10
Love is like a Cat (Korea Mon Viki) eps 3-4 of 12 - What is going on with this show? No, I get the plot. I just don't get the show or why I’m watching it. Annoying. 
It's done, but I suck
What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps
To Be Continued (Sat C3 Thailand grey) ep 7-8fin - I can't for the life of me find the final 2 episodes. Haven't had a real hunt, but yeah. No dice so far.
Tumblr media
It's airing but...
Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari (Japan Furritsubs) eps 1-? of 10 - I may wait and binge it.
Lady Boy Friends (Thai WeTV grey) 16 eps - reminds me a bit too much of Diary of Tootsies only high school. Not my thing. DNF unless it turns a corner and is truly amazing.
Kiseki Chapter 2 (Sun iQIYI) 6 eps - It’s so boring DNFed at 2.
Close Friend Season 3: Soju Bomb! (Weds iQIYI) 6 - The problem with situational comedy BL is it must be situational, comedic and a BL. This show gets 1 of 3 claims correct. 33% is not a passing grade. Dropped at 3.
Memory in the Letter (Thai WeTV) - only 4 eps, tell me if I should bother?
Next Week Looks Like This:
Tumblr media
4/18 At 25:00 in Alaska AKA 25 Ji Akasaka de (Japan Thurs Gaga) 10 eps - Yuki lands his first starring role in a BL drama alongside superstar Asami (previously his senior at uni). Said superstar suggests they form a sham relationship until filming concludes. As they actually begin to fall in love, the spotlight begins to burn. I think I've seen this before (joke) and also the trailer doesn't inspire confidence.
Still to Come in April
4/25 Boys Be Brave! AKA Roommates (Korea Thurs Viki) 8 eps - Trailer Jung Ki Sub is Kim Jin Woo's slacker friend - and secret crush. So when Ki Sub crashes at his place, his heart tingles to be near him everyday. But as the short stay turns into permanent mooch, how long can Jin Woo keep his true feelings under wraps and hold back from confessing?
4/26 My Stand-In (Thai iQIYI) 12 eps - adaptation of Chinese novel "Professional Body Double" by Shui Qiang Cheng. Stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please) directed by the same team as KP (not a recommendation IMHO - my biggest criticism of that show was the clashing directing styles). This one looks complicated, lemme try: Joe is a stuntman for famous actor Tong. Joe falls in love with Ming but Ming sees Joe as nothing more than a Tong-replacement. After learning this horrible truth, Joe dies. Joe then wakes up in the body of another man also named Joe. He manages to rebuild the same life as before—with the same people eventually re-meeting Ming. Ming wants Joe back but Joe doesn't understand why. But Ming seems to know what's going on and wants to give him some kind of explanation.
I'm exhausted just trying to describe the plot.
Knock-Knock Boys (Thai WeTV) - 4 college friends conspire to help their friend lose his virginity. Familiar faces like Seng (yes, Billy's previous pairing) and Best, news here. But will it actually air this month?
Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.
NOTE: It looks like one of my personal favorites of last year Unintentional Love Story is getting a spin off!

Another Pretty Long Character Analysis: Kieran and Nemona - Strength
disclaimer: not claiming this to be objective, just another writing piece full of thoughts done for fun because Kieran is such an interesting, in depth character ever
Okay so I mentioned this in my older post about kieran being the foil of nemona and their shared struggles with being at the top, socially excluded, and how strength as social arbiter displaced them in social settings. Like Kieran, Nemona became overly strong that no one wanted to compete and keep up with. Her passion is misread because of that plus the top statuses she holds as a wealthy multi-talented, high-achieving student. She is a good person and true to herself (her naivety to social cues perhaps is because of her lack of social connections with others). She means well and just want someone to battle with their efforts no matter the outcome and enjoy to the fullest. Battling is her expression of self, her way of enjoyment and connecting with others. Kieran is alike to an extent, with his strength already at a high level (stated by Carmen in the beginning), and his joyous expression seen during our first fight. This is supported by the fact as stated by Drayton how Kieran had fun battling pre-Teal Mask. These two rivals' love for battles run parallel with each other!
However, Kieran's transition reflects a common mindset that artists, athletes, musicians, etc. all resonate with: competitiveness + measure of worth in the things you like the most - you have to be good at them. I feel this strongly as well with art being my major source of passion - I pressured myself into thinking I had to be really good at it and not enjoy for the sake of doing it regardless of skills.
Battling was not only something Kieran liked doing, it was his main source of confidence and self-esteem.
We see that clear in Blueberry Academy, in dialogues and student culture, competitiveness is high, demanding, and brutal. Kieran may have internalized the idea, provided with his insecurity of weakness and his goal to become independent and reliant. Seeing that we were able to defeat him and sister with ease, he grew to admire but also envious of our esteemed strength, how our power seems to be favored by luck (having speical mons like Koraidon), inducing him to believe that if he worked hard, he could get to our level too. To add further, his lifelong admiration of Ogerpon supports his motivation and his aforementioned desire to be stronger. He wanted to be strong and cool as the ogre, not caring what others thought.
What I find interesting is how Kieran and Nemona handles their way of battling with us. Nemona guides you through the journey while challenging herself to learn in new ways - she restarts her journey essentially. For Kieran, even though he has experience, he struggles with the losses against us (confidence issues and again, aside our MC Role, there is some skill difference given that we fought the titans, area zero mons, team star, and gym leaders). He does change up his tactics, but ultimately does not see victory. He ends up restarting in a way back at BB academy. As a result, Kieran becomes more isolated throughout his training arc and his domination in the league. Him strictly calling out others for slacking inadvertently turns him into the fearsome "oni" figure that he idolized and thus earns him an unfavorable reputation as the president (similar status with Nemona) of the League, for instance, a dialogue between two students mentions how how ever since he became champ, the League club became less fun....Despite the contrast of tensity in these circumstances, Nemona is misunderstood in similiar manner with Kieran.
If memory serves correct, Nemona really gets into the battling mood and sometimes forgets about hers and others' limits, but does acknowledge them given a few instances when she does not battle you. Whereas for Kieran, once he entered the extreme zone, he fully devotes himself to strength at the cost of his mental, social and physical well-being. He discards his limits, giving everything he has got that ultimately eats him from the inside. The final scene when he reacts to losing may also show not just his struggle to grasp reality but a literal side effect on his health (no sleep = poor mood, poor thinking)
He desperately clings to the idea that endless training would grant him the guaranteed chance to beat you ("I know I am making the right choice") and no longer enjoys battling. Battling became a constant test of worth, the last and only means of proving himself. Even though he did become stronger, it drained his health, energy, sanity and reputation. Again, in an ironic way, he really became the oni (self filling prophecy).
at the end however, when we reach out to him to be confident in himself, that we needed his help, it gave him that confidence boost. We all believed in him - he really needed that support. Maybe seeing terapagos going berserk had him gain self awareness that he was like that too and how that caused harm to not only himself but to others.
One small thing to point out that he is like Terapagos in a way. Both are small, secluded and strong lads who end up going wayhire with their mass power.
Not to sound corny but I really felt Kieran’s frustration about losing. I was competitive too but soon let go of that. It’s fine to improve yourself but doing that to be better than others as your main reason can really cause burnout. Anyways this is a disorganized list of thoughts I wanted to share but if you read it the entire thing I really do got to say thank you for taking the time to do so.
EDIT: fixed some grammar and stuff because this was just a run-on draft lol

How about headcannons for Alucard with a Asrxual but NOT Aromantic human S/O?
"Au contraire, mon capitaine! He's back!"
------------------------------------------------
My man comes out of time where this was what was expected of women. After all women were not supposed to have fun during sex, they were just supposed indulge because of their lovely husbands. Not that he ever believed in that.
Regardless of your gender that would be the first thing he would think about, we all process new things we hear about by trying to compare it to things familiar to us.
Well, he must admit, he is a bit miffed at first. Isn´t he beautiful? Isn´t he a handsome man? He can be everything! Woman! Man! Everything inbetween! How come you do not find his appearance attractive?
Make no mistake, he is by no means mad at you in any way. He´s just sometimes acting like the arrogant brat he is but he will quickly recover. He loves you, even if he is very much a monster.
How your conversation goes depends very much on your attitude towards sex. After all, you can be asexual and sex repulsed, sex indifferent or sex favourable.
Either way he would ask you a few questions. Make no mistake, he´s a highly intelligent man and he learns incredibly quickly. There is also no judgment to be found in that vampire.
Listen he´s a human eating monster, do you really think he would care about his partners sexuality, gender or appearance? He does not. Nonetheless his reaction and future approach to the topic of sex will depend entirely to which category you belong to!
Sex Favourable
So you merely lack the physical attraction but still want and enjoy sex? How curious... he will definitely change his approach when he would like to seduce you. Apparently making bed-room eyes and looking even more pretty than usual will not do the trick but he never relied entirely on that anyway.
Sex Indifferent
Alucard is a sensual creature but he by no means needs sex in a relationship. Look, this man is ancient and his relationships with everyone around him often blurr the lines of platonic, romantic or whatever else there may be.
If you enjoy it but could live without it, he won´t ever pressure you, he might make a few advantages to see if you are up for it but he absolutely will settle for just cuddles if you aren´t up for it.
Sex Repulsed
If you are aware of Alucards past you very well know that he had gone through a lot of trauma, including sexual nature. I headcanon him actually to be switching between hypersexual and asexual. His sexuality might be as fluid as his gender in every single way.
He would relate to you, perhaps not fully, as he definitely still has that thrive every now and then but... eh. He´s been locked away in a basement for way too many years with no stimulation. You want no sex? Ever? That is just fine with him. He sincerely does not mind. Though he might ask you for a few extra kisses here and there. He is a needy creature, affection-starved and always eager for your attention.
By all of those he would ask if he ever made you uncomfortable or made you feel pressured. He would make sure to adjust his behavoir accordingly. He is very much enarmored with his signifcant other.

Cap-IM Rec Week 2023 (Mon)
Absolute Faves Monday, July 17 for @cap-ironman Rec Week!
Very excited for Rec Week, hope you guys have fun too!
Today I'm reccing some of my favorite fics I've read or re-read this year :)
Remember to show some love for your hard-working creators!
Paint the Town Blue by ohjustpeachy @omg-just-peachy
Ten years since he’d seen or spoken to Tony Stark, ten years since they’d broken up to go away to school. And now this email. It could be his only chance to see Tony again.
with a kiss by svgurl410
When Steve is put under a curse, Tony tries his best to find his true love to save him.
tell me why by xWinterDreamsx @xwinterdreams-blog
Telling Steve how much he loves him doesn't go in any way Tony expects.
Never Worlds Apart by KandiSheek @kandisheek
It's been six years since he's seen Tony when he walks into his favorite diner and sees him sitting in their old booth, as if nothing ever happened. Steve can't believe the nerve of Tony to just show up out of the blue after the way he ended things. Turns out Tony has a reason for wanting to make amends. And Steve doesn't appreciate only finding out about it after Tony has already almost died.
Only Paintings in the Building by BladeoftheNebula @bladeofthenebula27, ironycap (art) Neverever @captainneverever (art)
Steve causes himself a whole heap of trouble when he starts to paint pictures of Tony.
Every Now and Then I Fall Apart by Sineala @sineala (616)
When Tony gets hit by a truth spell, the consequences aren't what anyone expected. They're sure not what Tony expected. He wishes he could stop telling his teammates about all the medical problems he tries to hide. As long as he doesn't open his mouth and reveal his secret feelings for Steve, or all his secret inadequacies as a human being, though, everything's going to be fine. And Tony's good at keeping secrets... or so he thinks. But maybe Steve knows him better than he knows himself. And just because Tony believes something, that doesn't make it the truth.
An Avengers Powerpoint Party by gogglor @gogglor
The Avengers threw a Powerpoint Party. These are their slides.
A Wish Your Heart Makes by Carsonian @carsonian
The absolute last thing Steve's expecting is Tony Stark, and so it's fairly in character for the man to be standing on the other side of the door. "Hi." Tony looks impatient, greeting barely out before he's walking past Steve and into the apartment. 
i was put together wrong by suchmadnesss @suchmadnesss
Even in his anger, in his misjudgment, or even in the barest glimpses of inadvertent cruelty, everything Tony did was with passion. No matter what, he was always graceful, grandiose, effusive. Incandescent. Tony grows in front of the cameras and keeps a world of expectations balanced on the tightrope of his shoulders, but nothing ever seems to be enough. The hubris is a fallacy and the smirk Steve had always known to be a front isn’t whimsy, as he’d expected; instead, it’s bred. As he follows a couple of his steps, Steve feels as Tony does, which is to say: intensely. Every happiness is a marvel, every pain is acute. The higher they fly, the harder they fall. (In which the stones beckon Steve into a glimpse of Tony's past, and it proves to be his unraveling.)
you’ve got to close your eyes and see by Thahire @thahiree
Morgan manages to bring Tony back eleven years after Thanos’ defeat, long after everyone’s learned to live without him. Everyone’s overjoyed once they get over their shock, but Tony finds it hard to adjust, now that Pepper’s moved on and Morgan’s not a little kid anymore. Somehow, the one constant is Steve.
Ship to Shore by msermesth @msermesth
The Avengers beat Thanos. Everyone is safe. (If you don’t count those five days they thought Natasha was dead.) All that’s left is to return the stones, a feat that Tony is sure will end his new friends-with-benefits relationship with Steve.
nobody saves me, baby (the way you do) by Capstiddies, meidui
“You’re a firefighter.” “You’re—half naked.” - Steve fights fires and rescues kittens for a living these days because of course he does; of course that man doesn’t know how to properly retire. So now Steve has his firefighting career and Tony has a new complication in his long, winding relationship with Steve after parting ways without so much as a handshake.
Hope you guys enjoy the recs, and stay tuned for more! Please mind the tags before reading. Check out my tag for previous years’ rec lists :)

Warnings: 
Masterlist
A writer and formula one driver masterlist
Tumblr media
Charles' family was determined to meet you. They had heard so much about you from Charles, and they wanted to meet the person who had Charles wrapped so tightly around their fingers.
It had started with Charles constantly smiling down at his phone. Immediately shutting it off whenever someone got too close. Then it was him tentatively showing them a photo. A photo you didn't know existed. Your hair and eyes are wild as you sit hunched over your laptop in your PJs, trying to get the idea written down before it disappears.
It was either the second or third night that you had stayed over at Charles. And at about three o'clock in the morning, you woke up in a daze. Dashing to your computer to write down an idea that had come to you.
In your hast, you had managed to accidentally wake Charles. But instead of being angry at you, he had instead followed you in a sleepy haze. Interested to see what had gotten you so worked up. And he had been awarded with one of his favourite picture of you. A picture of you in your element doing what you loved
His mum had cooed at it. Saying how adorable you looked and how in love Charles must have been to follow you and take the photo.
Arthur and Lorenz, on the other hand, had teased him. Masking their interest as amusement. Taking the mickey out of Charles.
When Charles had immediately leapt to your defence, ignoring the fact that they were also making fun of him, they knew you were the one.
Tumblr media
"How do you feel about meeting my family, ma Cherie?" Charles spontaneously asked you. As you sat cuddled into his side.
Slightly startled by the sudden question, it took you a moment to process it. "I would love to meet your family." You smile at him. Flattered that he felt ready to take this next step with you.
"Perfect, Charles grind. "We are meeting them for  supper this evening."
"What?" You yell, lurching away from him.
"What's wrong, mon amour." Charles questions unsurely 
"Tonight?" you squawked out. "You want me to meet your family tonight!"
"Yes?" Charles questions. Unsure what the fuse was.
"You haven't given me enough warning!" You complain, bounding out of your seat and running to the bathroom for a shower.
Thankfully you end up getting ready in time. Charles watches as you run around getting ready. Trying to assure you that his family won't mind that you don't have any gifts for them.
You still aren't very impressed with Charles when you make it out the door.
When you make it to the restaurant, Charles accidentally reveals that he had booked this ages ago, which had been planned long in advance. You were just the last to know.
You hadn't been sitting for long before the rest of his family arrived. When Pascal spots you, she gives off a little squeal. Rushing forwards to wrap you up in a hug.
When she lets go, she gently grips onto your shoulders. "We have heard so many nice things about you." She tells you, a motherly smile on her face.
"And I you." You tell her shyly. Your checks warming under her gaze.
When Pascal releases you, you are greeted by Arthur and Lorenzo sizing you up. Slightly deflating under their gazes, you stick your hand out for them to shake. They both stare at it for half a second before Arthur grabs your hand, giving it a firm shake before letting you go and finding a seat. Lorenzo then does the same.
Turning to Charles, you look at him with terrified, pleading eyes. Unbeknownst to you. Charles has already kicked his brother under the table, and Pascal is warning them with her eyes.
Taking your seat beside Charles, your hand darts out. Grabbing his as you give it a tight squeeze. Charles squeezed back. Though not as tightly. Assuring you that you will be okay.
Taking a deep breath, you proper for what is to come. As though sensing your nerves, Pascal asked you a simple question. Sweeping you into a conversation. The further through which, the more you feel yourself relax.
"So, how did you and Charles meet?" Arthur suddenly asks.
"At a book signing." You tell his family. Who immediately look surprised at that. You guess that they weren't expecting something a bit more glamorous. Maybe in an F1 paddock or a nightclub. Not a cosy bookshop.
"Who was it?" Lorenzo asked this time.
"Me." You answer sheepishly. "Charles came to my book signing, and I met him there."
"Really?" Pascal asks, shocked. Suddenly she repeated your full name to you as if releasing something. "I'm a massive fan." She suddenly tells you. "I introduced Charles to your books." Laughing, she shakes her head. "I just hadn't thought that you would be the same person. I hadn't made the connection." 
"That's okay." You assure her. "I was so far out of context I never would have expected you to make the connection." Then you leave forwards. A conspirative tone comes across your face. "Which one is your favourite?" You ask her, a mischief glint in your eyes.
Pascal looks at you. A pondering look on her face. "I couldn’t tell you." She ends up admitting. "That's like being asked to pick a favourite child."
At that comment, all her sons immediately claim that it is them. Sending you and Pascal into a fit of laughter as the boys begin to bicker about who is the favourite. Pascal then turns to you. A soft accepting smile on her face. When you blink, the look is gone, and instead, Pascal launches into a discussion about your books. A debate that only a true fan could embark on.
And at that moment, you know that you fit in here. The sound of your boyfriend and his brother bickering in the background as you and his mum debate about books. You definitely weren't going anywhere any time soon.

hello, i was wondering if you perhaps knew of any fics that involve crowley and anathema being friends? ive just always felt like they would get on well, they're both similarly odd and prone to ranting about the sizes of animals brains
thank you so much for all the work you all do btw!!
Hi! Here are some fics which feature a friendship between Crowley and Anathema...
You've Got a Funny Way of Making Friends by ellbie (T)
Anathema swirled her drink in her glass. “Then what?” “Er, then… I don’t know. I didn’t see him again until the Great Flood.” “Well, when did you start, y’know…” Anathema waggled her eyebrows. Crowley flustered. “Mind your own business, witch.” “Hey, you’re the one that agreed to talk to me about all this stuff. You can’t be mad that I’m asking questions.”
Friendship is Demonic Magic by Shadow0kana & whtbout2ndbrkfst (T)
After Crowley interrupts Aziraphale and Anathema’s phone conversations one too many times, Aziraphale suggests the two have their own meetups to discuss what they have in common. Cue monthly coffee dates between a witch and a demon who can passionately discuss (debate) anything from Halloween to Astronomy to Hamlet… while also conspiring to form a book swap aimed at getting Aziraphale to read anything written after 1950.
The Nice and Accurate wedding of Anathema Device, Witch, which went just as expected by Nenchen (G)
Wedding planner Anathema Device is the Number One. She can organize anything for a wedding, flower arrangements, catering, a marching band or an emu. The name Device is a guarantee for a picture perfect wedding - and the perfect pictures will be taken by her top wedding photographer, and best friend, Anthony J. Crowley.
Both of them see weddings mostly as business, until Anathema meets Newt, Love of her life, walking natural disaster extraordinaire, and very much not a person it’s possible to have a perfect wedding with.
Which is perfect since Anathema frankly never wanted one for herself. She just wants a fun party, good food, and all of her friends to attend - including Crowley. For whom this might just as well be the apocalypse because no, he is not allowed to work on her wedding. Strictly invited only as a guest, Crowley finds himself at a loss. What the hell do you do at weddings? Well, if you are Crowley, the answer is some James Bond-like action, some worrying about fly swarms and their sources, having a lot of emotions, drinking some very funny wine, putting your foot in your mouth and just maybe meeting someone to share all of that with. Oh, and there’s always cake, isn’t there?
Healing by AppleSeeds (M)
After Crowley sustains an injury, his friend Anathema persuades him to come with her to the spiritual centre she regularly attends so that he can receive some spiritual healing. Crowley doesn't expect the healer to be quite so attractive, and certainly not that he'll end up developing a crush on him. As their sessions together progress though, Crowley starts to wonder whether Aziraphale might actually have feelings for him too.
Thrown for a Loop by MickyRC (T)
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a large amount of yarn will be assumed to be a knitter.
It is a truth universally acknowledged among crocheters that this is annoying as hell.
In his many years crocheting, Aziraphale has never been one to let that assumption stand. But faced with an opportunity to join a knitting group run by a very sweet new shop owner, he decides to play along. Even if it means he has to pretend he wants to learn how to knit. Even if it means he has to hide his skill with a crochet hook.
It’ll be worth it to get to know Crowley better. Probably. Hopefully.
(It will.)
secondhand smoke by PaintedVanilla (T)
you're second hand smoke, second hand smoke i breathe you in, but, honey, i don't know what you're doing to me mon chéri
the year is 1990, and anthony crowley is looking for a church in london that might be tolerable. the one he winds up attending isn't exactly such, but he decides to stick around for one reason. said reason happens to own a bookshop that crowley begins to frequent, much to the surprise and delight of anathema device and newton pulsifer, who seem quite convinced that crowley could use something else to focus on besides gardening, their campaigns, and visits to tadfield.

The Halloween Update! (since we Mateo Vincent??? MATEO forgot to update the blog.) Part 5
Mateo is the one who is responsible for updating the website but as the last photo is his, allow me to do the honors of updating you with the finale of this... Je ne sais pas, this series? Oui, it seems to be the proper term. Mateo went in as this... hm, how curious. This is... a costume? Really? I thought he was wearing his usual outfit! Madame Ling went in as a nurse—which I was later told that she actually went as Nurse Joy from Pokémon (that surprised me), Kirra went in as Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn (Sasha a fait un travail incroyable!) And you're telling me that... Mateo wore a costume? This is a costume? Who is he even supposed to be? Himself? The colors don't fit him, he looks so... plain. Mon dieu, what a disaster. I thought he was an architecture student? Why is he—
Tumblr media
Quoi merde—Mateo?!
Cabrón, chingas tu madre.You think you can just push me off the computer like that, homie?
The hit was unnecessary, connard!
And so is pushing me off the computer, so now I'm just giving you a taste of your medicine! Take that, tonto!
Why, you—?!?
Yes, me! Go back and work in admin instead of taking care of children since you're so bad at it!
If there's anyone who's deathly bad at something, it's you and your idiotic fashion sense! Why not ask the new babysitter for fashion tips since you obviously need some, asshole!
What?! I don't need fashion advice from him, I'm the reason he dresses that way! I told him how to dress!
Have you told him that you're just as violent as your aunt too?!
Tumblr media
(They continued bickering until Sasha put a stop to them both—or, more correctly, Vincent was taken away against his will as Sasha carried him on his shoulder, effectively leaving Mateo to finally do this job.)
Um... Sorry about that. You didn't have to see that, haha.
Anyway! If you ask me, I definitely had a blast at our party! It was just unfortunate that we weren't able to post videos and other photos besides the ones we have with our Little Wonders since we needed consent from the parents and the, well, sitter after party is, um... not really available to be disclosed to the public (let's just say that depressed adults are involved). But enough about that, let's talk about my lil' homies!
First things first, I love Pokémon. I still have my original Gameboy cartridges for Pokemon Blue and Red, I collect the cards, I've played all of them and I have very strong team compositions in all of my games! I thought that maybe the kids would like Pokémon and so I dressed up as one of my childhood heroes—Ash Ketchum! No kidding, I cried so hard when I watched him finally become the world champion from the episode from last year. There's news about the series finally ending, too! So it felt appropriate to give a tribute to my own personal hero.
I was planning to bring my very own 'pokémon' to the party (it was just a bunch of my exotic pets, nothing much) because the kids wanted to see them but I realized that, well, the kids are very rowdy and it would be hard to bring them. So instead I made little pokéballs for everyone!
Tumblr media
As for my favorite buddies, I like to think that I'm putting them here because they're fun and chill to hang with! They're absolutely cute, passionate, and adorable, no one can resist these little troublemakers even if they make a mistake.
I absolutely adore Tala's sass and liveliness. She would talk to me about the Filipino telenovelas her moms would watch with her and I love her enthusiasm about learning about her culture this way. She's quite the conversationalist, too, as she never runs out of stories!
Jamie was livid when I gave him the pokéball I made and I know mi hombrecito would appreciate what I gave him. He reminded me of me due to his obsession with the action figure and cartoon character KAY/O. He's quite the lively and imaginative kid and I couldn't be more honored to have a little space in the little guy's head everyday and every night when he falls asleep.
And of course, who's going to forget lil' Sunwoo Byrne? Kid's got a huge appetite, she absolutely loves the sandwiches I made her before! I do think it's cute that both her and Jamie are fans of Pokémon given that they bond over watching cartoons and the like! Makes me feel secure knowing that there are still kids who loved cartoons as much as I did—do, since I still watch them now. They're just fun to be around with, you get me?
And unfortunately I was the last one in this batch. Maybe in the future we'll get to have another one to be included in posts like this? I don't know, but this was certainly fun to write!

Can you make head cannons of Abby, Bella, Or Ellie dating a Haitian Reader? Like i imagine them to be so into learning about their S/O culture and language. And tearing UP their cultural food
BELLA DATING A LATINA (Haitian) READER
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes I love this so much as a Haitian who is in love with Bella, Ellie and Abby this is gonna fill my little heart (and hopefully yours as well 😊) #LatinasforBellaramsey
Tumblr media
Let’s say your really fluent in Haitian Creole Bella would 100% wanna learn a thing or two so you guys can comunícate with each other. I also have a feeling Bella has a notebook to write down some creole to remember. I lowkey imagine it going a little something like this:
“How do you say hi my name is in Haitian Creole?” You turn to Bella with a smile on your face closing your book “Salut non mwen se” you say as Bella nods his head and jots down what you said “thanks mon amour” Bella said as you snicker nodding your head.
Let’s say your a actress and your doing a Interview and the person interviewing you also so happens to be Haitian I feel like there would be a small segment where it’s you and the interviewer would just start talking in fluent creole and Bella would just sit their like this 🧍🏻‍♀️and nodding their head understand parts of what you guys are talking about. They so cute I feel like they would blurt out “I know a couple of these words”
Now to add on to the notebook thing. I feel like Bella would use it everyday writing down new phrases, or words you say even if she doesn’t know how to spell it and she would hand you the notebook at the end of the day with like ten or twenty new phrases for you to look over. You think it’s cute having a S/O who is so into learning so much about your culture.
“Here babe look over this for me” Bella says handing you her notebook with words that are misspelled and just all over the place. You smile at it before rewriting some words for him “modi li means damn it” you say glancing at them Bella nods his head staring at both you and the notebook. “Bella why are you so into learning Haitian Creole?” You asked as Bella smiles at you “because it’s important to learn different things and also because your culture seems so fun to learn” they would say as you smile.
Bella would 100% be into learning cultural haitian dances and since Bella is already good at dancing it wouldn’t be that hard to teach her (you guys know that she’s so hot trend on TikTok Bella would beg you to teach her how to do it)
When it comes to your cultural food Bella would EAT I mean she will be asking for seconds, thirds, fourths and even fifths to take home.
“plis manje cheri?” Your mother says holding a big pot of Diri ak Pwa Bella turns to you confused waiting for you to translate what your mother had said “she’s asking you if you want some more food” you translate as Bella nods her head like a happy hungry child “mèsi madam” your girlfriend says to your mother thanking her, your mom smiles patting her head and whispering how cute she is.
Bella would love your family gathering she thinks it’s a perfect way to bond with the people who basically raised you, everyone would love her, the elders, the kids, even the pets. The kids would point at her and whisper things to each other in awe
“My cousins are big fans of you” you would whisper point at the kids standing a few feet away from the two of you “really?” You would nod your head before ushering them over to introduce themself. “ou te yon sòsyè pa vre?” Your little four year old cousin ask holding a stuff animal your girlfriend turns to you before you translate “you played a witch” you translate as Bella nods her head with a smile. They pull Bella away to play with her.
Some of the adults would have a problem with you dating Bella because she’s a girl but majority of them don’t really care. Some of them proud of you for finally coming out after years and years of you and your fruity actions.
“Your girlfriend is cute” Your grandma says placing fried plantains in front of you “thank you grandma” you answer as she smiles at you and places a kiss onto your forehead “also beware dear your homophobic family members are here” your grandma says warning you and pointing to people behind you.
Bella would always think about you when she’s working taking pictures of Haitian snacks/food she surprisedly found taking pictures of it and sending them to you with a grin.
“Oh my gosh you got Bonbon Amidon” you say with a big smile on your face. Bella nods her head before taking other snacks and desserts from out of a plastic bag and placing them onto the table “these where my favorites as a child.” You add as Bella opens up one and pops it into her mouth “so what else was from your childhood or your favorite” they say pointing at the snacks on the table.
You always cook vegan free foods for Bella to eat since you know they love your food dearly but if you can’t figure out how you would always call your mother and she would walk you through some vegan free dishes
Bella would learn a lot of Haitian songs on her guitar and you would only smile at the kind gesture. You and Bella would have a little singing and dancing session with you just just jamming out to Haitian songs.
"You are too cute Bella" you say as he turns to you with a grin on his face "what can I say i have a pretty cool girlfriend.”
To wrap it up Bella would 100% love you and everything about you and your culture.
Tumblr media
Another Request done I really hope you guys enjoyed this one I tried my absolute hardest with this one and I will work on the Ellie and Abby one later I take criticism so please give me feedback and please request :) orevwa Ⓒ︎ bellaxellie.

30. If you could Supercorpify any movie, book, or TV series into a perfectly written, beautifully executed, multi-chapter AU fic, what would it be?
oh this one was FUN! it’s odd, considering many AUs i read are based on a different existing piece of media, that i’ve never thought of doing that myself��until you sent me this ask, and now i want to write about nine of them immediately. these are in my top 3, in no particular order:
Star Trek Discovery. Per IMDb’s synopsis: Ten years before Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise, the USS Discovery discovers new worlds and lifeforms as one Starfleet officer (Lena Luthor, obviously) learns to understand all things alien (eyebrow waggle). i honestly would love to read supercorp in a sci-fi set in space.
Twister. Kara and Lena Luthor-Danvers, advanced storm chasers on the brink of divorce, must join together to create an advanced weather alert system by putting themselves in the cross-hairs of extremely violent tornadoes. I’d cast Kara as Jo and Lena as Bill and Andrea as Lena’s new fiancée. i mean:
Kara, in the middle of an argument chasing the first tornado, veering off the road, "Do you want me to drive?"
Lena, looking at Kara instead of the road, "No!"
Kara, seeing they are heading for a large combine parked along the side of the road, "Then would you?"
you can see it, right??
Bound. An ex-con and her lover concoct a scheme to steal millions of stashed mob money. again, why haven’t i written this yet? maybe it’s because i’m not decided on the casting—traditionally Kara would be the soft butch handyman and Lena the femme mobster girlfriend, but i personally can not resist the idea of many, many intimate close-ups of (a tattooed and pierced) Lena Luthor putting her hands to work while Kara performs her damsel-in-distress act for Caesar (Mon-El)’s bosses.
Mon-El: "What did she do to you?"
Kara: "Everything you couldn't."
YES.
send me writer asks!

This Week in BL - a shocking upset to the rankings
Organized, in each category, by ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
Nov 2023 Wk 4
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
My Dear Gangster Oppa (Thurs iQIYI) ep 5 of 8 - It remains absolutely delightful. We already knew this pair does boyfriends damn near perfectly. It’s a pleasure to watch them as a couple, coupling all over our screen. The relationship does feel a bit rushed but frankly I like the pacing, it’s kind of Korean style which makes sense considering the original IP. 
The Sign (Sat YT) ep 1 of 10 - You know what this is? It’s FUN is what it is. I haven’t felt this way about a BL in a while. Sure is has an uneven story, fight sequences, pacing, and acting but still… yay! Billy is great, he very good at thirst. It’s a crime Lee Long Shi isn’t in this, but otherwise weeeeeeeeee!
(Also was that Bangsean I spotted?)
Tumblr media
Last Twilight (Fri YT) ep 3 of 12 - The montage of them learning and training together was so stinking cute I can hardly contain myself. Plus a little language play? (Did you catch the added “na” on to thank you? Gah! So sweet.) Have mercy. I love the banter that these two can execute so smoothly. It reminds me the most of TayNew back in their Kiss days. Or Nanon & Ohm in Bad Buddy.
There’s this breezy casualness to friendships and long-term relationships that Asian BLs seem to find really hard to execute (I’m thinking about something like Hospital Playlist as the best example). It’s more a friend chemistry than a lover chemistry, although of course it can morph into that.
Anyway, I am waffling, but I’m loving this show. (The bit with the teacher made me cry.) I also really love how much actual Bangkok we’re getting from it for a change. 
Finally... how much did @respectthepetty and I love the pink milk shirt moment? SO MUCH. Color theory, plot devise, fashion, food, and a trope reference all in one. Well done GMMTV! Very well done.
Tumblr media
Twins the series (Fri GaGa) ep 4 of 10 - I would like it if we got onto the BL section of this BL. Please and thank you. 
Pit Babe (Fri iQIYI) ep 2 of 14 - it's delightfully trashy, btu slightly less trashy than last week because they introduced AlanJeff who are my new babies of age gap delight and you cannot have them. THEY ARE MINE. Also Way. WAY IS MINE. Also, I decided to do a trash watch.
Tumblr media
Bake Me Please (Mon Gaga) ep 1 of 6 - It’s nice. It’s fine. Atmospheric and pretty and full of deserts. What’s not to love? Is it inspired? No. Definitely has an Antique Bakery (play it again, BL). But I do love food based cinema. 
Middleman’s Love (Fri YT & iQIYI ep 3 of 8 - What’s annoying is that this could’ve been so good. It’s a poster child for squandered potential. 
Absolute Zero (Weds iQIYI) ep 9 of 12 - Because of the temporal paradox, and Thai BL not being all that great on narrative consistency anyway, this is a confusing piece as well as a painful one. Now Ongsa seems to be nothing more than a stalker who cries all the time. 
Playboyy (Thurs Gaga) 2 of 14(!) eps - This really feels like Thailand is trying to relive the gory days of Japan's pinks. I wasn’t into it then and I’m certainly not into it now. It’s a mess and weirdly mechanically not sexy. I’ll stay watching it but, like Only Friends, I don’t think I’m gonna warm to it. I just don’t like shows where there are no likable characters. 
Also imma say it, so plug your assears. This is about as deep as a dildo can go. Which is to say, the size queens seem to be finding it more deep than the rest of us who are already bottoming out. Just make sure you're taking adequate lube prep with your psyches.
My Universe (Sun iQIYI) Friends Forever ep 14 of 24 - No thank you. 1/10 
I've decided, for spreadsheet reasons, that each of these is going to be tracked as its own 2 part show.
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
A Breeze of Love (Korea iQIYI) eps 5-6 of 8 - The shopping together scene was absolutely darling. But I’m getting a little frustrated not knowing exactly what happened in the past.
VIP Only (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 1-2 of 10 - Of course it starts with the crash into me trope, oh Taiwan. It’s cute enough, I love the support cast, and it’s always nice to have something from my favorite tiny island on my dash. 
Tumblr media
You tell me: is it safe?
One Room Angel (Japan Gaga) 6 eps - This one finished. It's an adaptation of Harada’s manga (which I did not like and dnf'd) about a clerk who nearly dies and ends up cohabitating with an angel. Thoughts? Is it sad? Is it meh? TELL ME!
It's Airing But...
The Whisperer (Sun ????) 1 of 10 - Thai horror BL that ALSO involves cheating (what joy is mine). He has dimples (My Ride) but I don't think even that gives me the will. You can tell me how this goes if you can find it.
SHADOW (Thai Gaga) 14 eps - I'm not wild about Thai horror (or horror at all) even one featuring Singto and Fluke. I'm holding off. If told it's good, I'll binge.
7 Days Before Valentine (Weds WeTV) ep 1 of 10 - trailer here, horror-esk. Adapted from y-novel of the same name, directed by Tu (180 Degree) stars Jet (Why You… Y Me?). Giving me Luminous Solution vibes, so I'm waiting to binge if told it's safe.
Beyond The Star (Weds iQIYI) 8 eps - House of Stars meets Boyband. I was NOT impressed with ep one. Waiting to be told if I should bother.
What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - I find this series more fun to binge, so I'm waiting until it completes its run.
In case you missed it
I posted 20 BLs with the BEST Thirst! and decided to distinguish the different type son need in BL as follows:
Thirst wants to slide a hand under his waistband right tf now and grind.
Horny wants to rip his clothes off, and probably pop buttons and laugh about it.
Yearning wants to run both hands up his back while they kiss deeply.
Hunger wants to lift him by the ass and slam him against the wall.
Next Week Looks Like This
Tumblr media
(Today) 11/26 Cooking Crush (Sun YT) 1 of 12 - OffGun are back, trailer here. Adapted from the novel “Love Course! เสื้อกาวน์รุกเสื้อกุ๊กรับ” by iJune4S this is about Prem who runs a not-so-popular restaurant with 2 friends. About to go on a cooking competition with a huge reward, Prem gets involved with Ten, a stressed-out med student who wants Prem to teach him to cook.
11/30 For Him (Thurs iQIYI) ep 1 of 10 - high heat trailer From the people who brought us Unforgotten Night (please no) based on a y-novel, man nursing a heartbreak has a one-night stand, but the other boy didn't want it to end. It looks terribly trashy so I'm in!
Original 2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED).

Pelipper mail!
[Oh! It's a letter from Polaris!]
"Dear Vivianne and Andrea,
Hello my girls. I’m sorry I had to leave so suddenly, especially after Queenie had her pups! I hope they’re all doing well, you’ll have to tell me their names when I get back.
I’m splitting this letter into two parts, Drea darling your part is first, and then Dewdrop.
Drea: Hello sweet girl, how are Blue and Whisky doing? Before I left, I bought some more bathing sand for Blue. I was thinking we could get sort of a sand-box situation out back, so that Blue and Whisky could bathe without making as much of a sandy mess in the bathroom haha.
I’ve attached a few pictures of rock types I’ve spotted in Sinnoh that I thought may bring you some joy. Mostly it’s Bonsly and Sudowoodo. If you think you’re ready for a third, Bonsly are very simply pokemon to take care of, and very loving little chaps. I could always adopt one for you while I’m here.
Also, I’m bringing you home just an absolute load of Poffins. I never quite mastered making them myself, but if you like these ones, I will make a new effort in learning how to make them properly. I know you love your pokeblocks, but they aren’t…particularly made for human consumption. However!! Poffins are the Sinnohian equivalent of pokeblocks, and due to the way they are made they are also edible for humans. I begrudgingly ate a pokeblock so that I could compare the texture and flavor to a poffin, and the flavors are quite similar, although the texture of a poffin is much more fluffy than crunchy, although I would suppose it would depend on how long you baked them…
I’ve gotten off track! I hope you’re still having a good time with your schooling, you’re almost done! Just a few more weeks and we can take our break for summer, yeah? I believe in you, and I think that you’re doing great!
Vivianne: Hello love. Once again, so so sorry I left on such short notice, I was really hoping the Walrein thing would resolve itself, but we know life is never that simple. In the middle of wedding preparations as well, ugh.
Returning to our conversation before we left, how many ring bearers and flower children are we realistically allowed to have? Because I agree on Sprite being the ring bearer, I think it would really appreciate that, and Andrea as the flower girl. But also there’s Bird, and possibly Kittsu, and maybe Beedrill, but I feel as if he would not care as much. My vote is on Sprite and Kittsu as ringbearers, and Andrea and Bird as flower girls. But of course, your input is important to me, and I’m sure Vio would love to be part of the ring/flower children as well.
I do think it would be nice to have a more traditional Crowen wedding :) I was never particularly attached to the Hisuian/Sinnohian wedding traditions anyway. I was doing some research and I thought that the Crowen Handfasting wedding tradition was particularly sweet, and I would like to have that as part of the wedding.
I hope everything is well while I am gone, and that everyone stays in good health. I am amassing sweets and trinkets for everyone when I come back haha.
All my love for you two,
Your Starlight."
[A few photos are attached. Most of them look to be of bonsly and sudowoodo, although there is a photo of a Shieldon.]
[Theres a image of All of Queenie's karps, along with many photos of The mons] Hi Opie! School has been super fun! One of the teachers helped me learn new names for you like Zeze and Nini! So I am being more nice! :D one of my teachers is like you too! They decorated their wheelchair with loads of stickers and have a very pretty Reuniclus that helps push her around when her arms are tired! Like you and the mons!!
I made a few friends along with friends outside the special program! they sit with me during lunch and they are really really nice! One of them has a huuuuge dragonite and the other one has loads of Omastar! They all make sure nobody picks on me :D
I might try the poffins but I still really like the pokeblocks, Nana started making safer ones for me and they are like little hard chalk-y candies instead! so im no longer eating the bad ones even if I reallllly want to eat them!
ok, mam wants to write to you now! Love you Opie!
Hello Starlight, Don't feel so bad for leaving, Emergencies can pop up out of nowhere. All that matters is that everyone is safe :) I have been putting some money on the side still for Sprite and Andrea's futures (i'm writing this while they are out!) I know they wont need the money for a *very* long time but I want to make sure that they can still have money there if they need it.
The babies are quite chunky but uh, they mainly get that from their dad. still cannot believe that someone offered to breed their Crowen Gyarados with Queenie to try and get more genetics into the bloodline! they are finally developing their first bristles and I am so happy.
Also I would love to do the handfasting tradition! My mother still have photos of her grandparents doing the tradition! I still can't believe that you went all the way to get those books for the wedding, Starlight. I truly am a lucky woman.
...
on a serious note I have been having nightmares, its hard to remember how they go but im sure it's just because I got so used to knowing you were in the home too. I can't wait till you get home! Liam has missed pestering you and your team for sure :)
Keep safe Starlight, Me and Andrea love you more than words can describe.
-Vivianne (your Dewdrop) and Andrea

Lover
Chapter Three: Invisible String
Warnings: Innuendos, lots and lots of pre-wedding nerves, sexual situations (kinda)
Word Count: 5.2k
Lover Masterlist
Previous Chapter | Next Chapter
Avery and Jensen's wedding day. 
She had a floaty feeling inside her when she woke up. Earlier than usual. Last night, it was hard for her to go to sleep. She was way too excited. Anxious, even. Avery glanced at the man by her side and smiled. Jensen was happily asleep, snoring every now and then. 
As planned, Avery would go over to the cabin where Elena and her boyfriend stayed to get ready with the other bridesmaids. Before that, Avery wrote down a little note on the paper provided by the venue for when Jensen woke up. She knew he'd want to see her one last time before he was busy with the groomsmen so she thought she'd leave him a little something to show her remorse. But also happiness. They were going to get married. And Avery couldn't be more ecstatic. 
When Jensen did wake, he frowned when he felt Avery's side of the bed was cold. He pushed a hand through his hair to get it out of his face when he noticed the note on the nightstand.
Good morning, mon amour
Jensen’s eyebrows furrowed. Avery knew French? He learned something new about her every day. He loved it. 
Today's the day we're bound together by law. But I think we were always bound together by fate. I feel as if I always should have known you. Or maybe we simply met at the right time, right place. You certainly are the right person.
I'm sorry I wasn't there when you woke up. Wedding traditions and all that shit about bride not seeing groom on the morning before the wedding or else bad luck !! But I promise, when you do see me, you won't even know why you were upset about it in the first place. 
Have a little fun in Misha’s cabin. Or whatever you do with your friends. 
Love you,
Avery <3
Jensen let out a small laugh. He quickly put on some sweatpants and a T-shirt. He and the groomsmen planned to get ready in Misha's cabin which he shared with Rob and Rich. They were also going to order breakfast before he got there so they could have it ready. He grabbed some sneakers and slipped them on to make his way over. 
Misha’s cabin wasn't too far away but it made for a nice walk. Jensen looked at the trees surrounding him on the trail. Morning sunlight peeked through tall leaves and branches. The mountains were beautiful. Jensen took a deep breath of the crisp air. He couldn't help the smile that made its way onto his lips. The day was already perfect. And he knew it was just going to get more perfect from there. 
“Someone's already glowing,” Misha commented as he answered the door. “Did y'all have a quickie last night or something?” He teased.
Jensen gave Misha an unimpressed look as he entered, being hit with the smell of freshly made bacon and eggs benedict. “I wish. But no.” He grabbed a plate and hummed once he started to dig in at the table. 
Rob and Rich already sat there, an empty plate in front of both of them. “You have to give us something. What's Avery like in bed?” Rich asked with a wave of his fork. 
Jensen shook his head with a laugh as Misha sat at the table as well. Rich’s inquiry was harmless. Mercer was by the kitchen counters, sipping coffee as he tried to will away his ability to hear. If he projected his thoughts louder, maybe he would be so distracted that his brain wouldn't be able to comprehend what he was hearing. 
Rich awaited his answer. “She's… good. I'll give you that.” Jensen relented.
“That much is easy to tell.” Misha commented with a chuckle. 
“Oh, c'mon, you can give us more than that. You trust us, don't you?” Rich pressed with a teasing frown while Rob snickered next to him. 
Jensen let out a breath and stared at his friends, a disappointed look in his eyes. “You really think I'm gonna explain to you how my wife dicks me down?” After the words left his mouth, he realized what he had done.
Rob pumped a fist in the air. “Yes!” He laughed as Rich reluctantly handed him a fifty-dollar bill.
“I can't believe this.” Rich sighed. 
Jensen looked between Rob and Rich before he glanced at Misha. “They had a bet going on.” He explained with a shrug. He already knew the dynamic of Jensen and Avery's sexual relationship. However, the way he found out was not by choice. 
The groom finished his meal and let out a sigh as he leaned back in his chair. The ceremony wasn't for another few hours but nervousness started to bubble in his chest. Jensen didn't want to be late. If there was such a thing as being late on his wedding day. “Where's Josh?” He asked as he set his plate in the sink. Jensen felt like he needed his brother, just to have some familial support. His parents were likely on a hike so he wouldn't know where to find them.
“Taking a hike with your parents,” Misha answered. Shit. Jensen let out a shaky breath. “Hey, c'mere,” Misha guided Jensen into his room. Their suits hung up in the corner of the room on a rolling stand. “What's up?” 
Jensen sat at the end of the bed and buried his head in his hands. “I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm so in love with Avery but it's like it just hit me that I'm going to marry her. I'm… afraid.” He shook his head, lips forming into a thin line. He was a mess. He knew it. Why did Avery choose to marry him again? 
Misha sat next to him, rubbing his back. “You don't want to mess up. That's understandable, Jay. But I don't think Avery or you are gonna fall out of love anytime soon.” He soothed softly. Seeing Jensen like this hurt him. The man was usually very confident and collected. He knew what to do all the time. It was strange to see Jensen not know what to do. 
Jensen let out a deep breath. Misha was right. The anxiety was just eating away at him. In reality, there was nothing to worry about. “Okay,” He drew in breath. His heartbeat was starting to calm. “Okay.” 
After his mini-breakdown, Jensen decided to get ready. Avery had specifically packed Jensen a bag of products she knew he liked. His favorite cologne, hair product, a few face masks, a tube of mascara—it was the only makeup product he knew how to properly use—and a single blush palette that came with a brush. 
As an extra way to calm himself down, Jensen did the facemask first. It said ‘relaxing’ on the label and he sure needed some of that. It felt a little weird on his beard but he ignored it. The rest of his skin started to tingle, signifying it was working the way it was supposed to. 
Mercer let out a small laugh when Jensen made his way out of Misha's room to grab something to snack on. “Finally opened up Avery's bag, huh?” He asked with a smile at the edge of his mug. He switched his coffee in for tea. 
“Yeah,” Jensen murmured shyly, popping a handful of trail mix in his mouth. The saltiness paired with sweetness was exactly what he needed. Avery packing Jensen a bag of self-care essentials started to become a thing after he got his apartment in Columbia and he had to leave for his first convention she couldn't attend with him. “Even when she's not here…” He glanced down.
“She knows how to calm you down?” Mercer finished for him, chuckling softly. 
Jensen nodded, shaking his head slightly. Sometimes he hated how easy he was to read. Jensen finished up his light snack and went into the bathroom, throwing the mask in the trash and turning the knob of the sink on. He cupped his hands in the water, washing his face. He grabbed a nearby hand towel and dabbed it against his face to dry it. 
Afterward, Jensen grabbed his suit and got undressed. He spritzed a bit of cologne on his neck, styled his hair the way he wanted, and put on the makeup Avery provided him with, trying his best to remember how she did it. He lightly brushed his cheeks with blush and pursed his lips as he brushed some near his hairline and forehead. Then came the mascara which he was a little scared about. Jensen's mouth dropped open as he flicked the mascara wand across his lashes. He hissed when it accidentally got in his eyes and a few spots of black appeared underneath his eye. 
In a panic, Jensen tried to wipe it off but that just made it worse. He reached for his phone and clicked on Avery's contact. She picked up after a few rings.
“Wassup, honey?” The sound of her voice, even if it was a little teasing, made Jensen feel a lot better.
“I, uh, I got mascara on my face. How do you get it off?” His disheartened voice made Avery concerned, if a little delighted that he felt so alarmed about messing up his makeup. 
Jensen could hear her shifting a little on the phone, assumedly cussing someone out in the background. Likely Elena because she wanted to know who Avery was on the phone with. “Sorry about that… Uh, let it dry for a few seconds. Depending on how much you got on there, I just lick my thumb and rub it off. Easy peasy. No one’ll notice.” 
Feeling reassured, Jensen nodded. “Thanks, sweetheart.” He did as instructed, using the pad of his thumb to wipe at his cheekbone. Sure enough, the little drop of black disappeared.
“No problem, honey. Now, I gotta get this dress on or Elena might do it for me. Love ya.” Avery hung up before Jensen could respond.
He sighed as he set his phone down on the bathroom counter. “Love you too.” He knew Avery was busy getting ready too but a part of him felt a little dejected. Jensen glanced back at the suit hanging on the door. 
As Mercer advised, Jensen went with a black double-breasted suit that had narrow gray pin-stripes. The button-up was a simple white color while his tie was a deep navy color, almost black but light enough it was recognizable to be blue. He pulled the pants up his legs and zipped them up, appreciating the way they fit. Jensen wasn't sure why he was surprised, it was made specifically for him. He tucked the button-up underneath the waistband of his pants and sighed.
It hit Jensen all over again. He was getting married. His heart rate picked up. Jensen smiled to himself as he fastened his tie around his neck, folding his collar over it. And then came the blazer. Jensen shouldered it on, buttoning it up. Only one. He breathed as he saw himself in the full-length mirror in Misha's room. It was the first time he saw himself in the full suit. The other times were just for fittings. The blazer hugged his waist in ways Jensen knew Avery would go insane over. 
He let out a small chuckle as he pushed his hands into his pockets, mind running wild with ideas. Jensen adjusted the navy pocket square in his blazer before he made his way back into the living room. 
Misha whistled at the sight of him. “No wonder Avery likes you.” He teased. He wore his designated suit. It was a solid navy color with a vest and a black tie. He and the rest of the guys changed in Rob and Rich’s shared room. He was the first to get done changing. 
Like a weight off his chest, Jensen let out a laugh. One he needed. “Yeah, well… She's pretty hot too.” He hummed as he leaned against the table. 
“New hot celebrity couple alert.” Misha joked softly. But was it really a joke? 
Avery's popularity was quickly skyrocketing and not because of Jensen. A lot of people talked about her book and she admitted she was working on another one, an original story this time. 
And then, of course, Jensen. He was breaking into the mainstream with being in The Boys and a slew of other shows he wouldn't have had the opportunity to be on if Supernatural was still going. Contractual obligation did that to an actor.
As Jensen stood at the end of the chapel he took in a deep breath. Most of his friends and family sat in pews for the second time but that didn't make it any less nerve-racking. Hell, it made it more nerve-racking. He tried to focus more on the decor of the chapel. The wooden arch to his side had vines with blue and purple flowers hanging off it. The chapel itself was built similar to the cabins but far more grand with exposed beams holding up the high ceiling where a few chandeliers hung to light the whole building. 
“If you break down now, I'm sorry to say I'd laugh.” Misha whispered behind him, patting his shoulder. Jensen laughed softly. 
It was the only reaction he could muster before “Here Comes the Bride” started to play. Their wedding was going to be traditional—mostly—their reception, not so much. The bridesmaids started walking down the aisle until Elena and then Avery with Jacob. 
Jensen drew in a sharp breath. His eyes dilated at the sight of her. Her makeup didn't differ too far from what she wore regularly—winged eyeliner with a neutral shade of brown in the sockets of her eyes—but this time she wore a vibrant red lipstick. A string of pearls wrapped around her neck. And then there was her dress. Fuck. Her dress. God, he wanted to worship her. Have her tell him what to do to worship her properly. He could easily make a religion out of her and he'd love to be her most devoted follower. 
When Jacob and Avery made it to the end of the aisle, Jacob set her hands in Jensen's. “Don't fuck it up.” Her brother glared at him and then made his way to the pews. He sat next to the only other blood relatives of Avery’s that were invited to the wedding. Her cousins, Grace and Noah. Jensen hadn't met them before but Avery said they were from Chicago so that was part of the reason.
Jensen looked into Avery's eyes and smiled, feeling happy tears well in his eyes. She simply smiled back. She had a feeling he'd get emotional and she was more than okay with that. They weren't listening to the minister, a little too caught up in admiring each other's eyes. Avery wondered if the bayou of Louisiana was of similar shade to Jensen's eyes while he thought about if he was on the Titanic and the shards of ice from the glacier looked like the ones in Avery's eyes, he would have happily stayed on the boat. 
“Jensen, have you prepared any vows?” The minister asked, breaking the pair out of their trance. 
Jensen let out a cough to choke down his emotions as much as possible. He nodded, grabbing a crumpled piece of paper from inside his blazer. He held onto Avery with one hand as he took a breath and started to read. “I really don't know how to… put how I feel into words so I thought I'd share when I knew I was going to marry you.” He could hear Elena let out an ‘aww’ which made him and Avery laugh softly. 
“It was November 8th, a few days after I moved and we were lying in bed in my apartment. You were watching some video essay on Skyfall, paused in the middle of it, and tried to express how much you thought it was the best Bond movie of all time. I say ‘tried’ because you never completed your sentences. At least, in a way I could understand.” The people in the pews let out a laugh. Jensen glanced up from his vows at Avery. Her eyes were shining with tears underneath her glasses. Even on her wedding day, contacts were the bane of her existence. “Then you ranted about how much of a masterpiece the song was. Which devolved and devolved until you started to talk like Benoit Blanc.” Avery let out a flustered laugh. “I simply listened. I love nothing more than to hear about what you love. And I want,” Jensen rasped as he pushed his vows back into his blazer. “I want nothing more than to hear you talk like that every night for the rest of my life.”
Avery wasn't sure how she'd top that but she'd try. After an applause from the pews, it was time for her vows. “Jensen Ackles, am I right?” She joked to the crowd which earned her laugh, easing her nerves. Not by much. She didn't have anything written down and thought she'd wing her vows but that proved to be a bad idea. She was at a loss for words. “I kind of… didn't write anything down.” That earned an amused look from Jensen. 
“But, I—uh—do want to talk about you. I mean, of course I do. You're you. You're so loving and affectionate and open and so fucking hot and I can't grasp I get to have you for the rest of my life. I felt so… weary of straight cis people I didn't already know.” Avery admitted softly. Jensen nodded. It was for good reason and he knew that. “You're the most accepting man I've ever met in my life—besides my brother—and you were so prepared to throw away your entire family if they didn't like me for who I am. Like it was nothing. That, in itself, made me feel special. And then you stood up for me in front of my parents,” Jensen's jaw tightened at the mention of them. “And I couldn't believe how much it made me love you that much more.” His eyes softened, still brimming with tears. Avery held his hands tighter and smiled brightly at him. 
The minister gave Jensen and Avery identical silver rings. “Do you, Jensen Ross Ackles, take Avery Selena Cairo to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health? Till death do you part?”
“I do.” Jensen said softly, slipping the ring onto Avery's finger. His pulse started to hasten again. But not because of nerves anymore. He was excited. Extremely happy.
“Do you, Avery Selena Cairo, take Jensen Ross Ackles to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health? Till death do you part?” 
Avery nodded eagerly, “I do.” She slipped the silver band onto Jensen's finger. For once in her life, she hadn't taken her eyes off him since the start of the ceremony. How could she? Jensen looked drop-dead gorgeous. 
“By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the groom.” The minister smirked. 
Jensen let out a small laugh before Avery cut it off with her lips. Her hands found their place on his waist while his naturally gravitated to her shoulders. Avery pulled him as close as her dress would allow and poured every emotion she felt into their kiss. It made Jensen dizzy in the best way possible.
Avery tried to pull away, not wanting to give the audience more of a show then they already had, but Jensen chased after her eagerly. She couldn't deny him that easily. 
“That's enough, cowboy.” Avery whispered against Jensen's lips after a few seconds. He sighed as he looked into her eyes. 
Jensen took her hand and looked at the people in the pews. He held up their interlocked hands and couldn't help but brag. “I have the fucking hottest wife!” Avery’s lips formed into a thin line, embarrassment flushing her cheeks with a mix of happiness at his pride.

Before the reception, Avery and Jensen had a few moments to themselves in the back of the venue. It was much needed since Avery had the feeling she needed to isolate herself after being around so many people for so long. 
“You're my husband.” Avery whispered, caressing his jaw gently. She wasn't sure when it'd sink in but it wouldn't be anytime soon. 
Jensen leaned into the touch. “And you're my wife.” He said dreamily. This whole ordeal felt like a dream that he didn't want to wake up from. 
“No, no, no, I don't think you understand.” Avery argued softly, shaking her head. “You, Jensen. I used to watch you on TV and here you are… with me.” 
Jensen thought it would feel unreal for Avery. And he was right. Their whole relationship was dreamlike. “Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me.” He sang softly as he intertwined his fingers with hers and placed a kiss on her jaw.
The universe worked in mysterious ways and Jensen genuinely believed Avery deserved some light in her life after all the shit she'd been through. That just so happened to be him. And, well, Jensen wasn't having the best time either before they met. He must've done something good to deserve Avery in front of him, loving him. 
Karma is a two-way street after all. 
As the reception officially started and guests filtered in, Elena found the time to introduce her boyfriend—Mark—to Jensen. They hadn't met before because Mark lived in upstate South Carolina and when he visited, Jensen and Avery intentionally scheduled date nights at the same time. 
“This,” Elena nudged Mark's shoulder and smiled. “Is my boyfriend.” The man next to her looked to be around the same age she was and his eyes were horrified. 
Jensen stared down at him. Mark was only a few inches shorter than him but Jensen was built and broad whereas Mark was lanky. Any twenty-year-old in their right mind would be intimidated by him, even slightly. But Jensen was as close to a father figure as Elena could have without him being her biological father so that added to the feeling of dread in the back of Mark's mind. 
Jensen stuck out his hand for the younger man to shake. “Nice to meet you.” 
Mark obliged, hand sweaty. “Yeah, uh, you too.” 
Like she was in her own little world, Elena led Mark to their assigned table with a bright smile on her face.
Avery laughed next to Jensen, shaking her head. The look on Mark’s face was priceless. “Y'know Mark had the same face when we met for the first time.”
“Did you ask what his intentions were with Elena ‘cause I was about to ask the same thing.” Jensen joked softly as he wrapped an arm around Avery's waist. 
Food and drinks started to be served after that. A chunk of red meat, potatoes, and spears of asparagus, swimming in some sort of red wine sauce that Avery had to stop herself from drinking. And then there was the cake. Black frosting with four tiers that had blue roses on the edges of each one. Similarly to Avery's birthday, the flavor of the cake was chocolate but, instead of strawberry filling, it was cream cheese.
A bunch of phones and cameras started flashing as Avery and Jensen fed a piece to each other. 
Then came their first dance as husband and wife. Their shared slice of cake sat at their table as Jensen guided Avery to the middle of the dancefloor. A crowd gathered around them to watch. He set a hand on her hip as she set one on his shoulder, their other hands were intertwined off to the side of their bodies. 
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
And this is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years? 
Avery's choice. And Jensen couldn't help but let her make it. 
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my
Lover
Jensen looked into Avery's eyes, trying to memorize every single detail of them through her glasses. The outer rim of her irises that were darker than the rest of her eyes, the little shards of color that looked like glass, the way her pupils were so large when they looked at him. 
We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all
Avery adjusted her hand on Jensen's shoulder, feeling more emotional than she expected. She would've expected to have felt it earlier but, no, this felt like she had finally sealed her fate with him. 
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Lover
A few drops of liquid happiness rolled down Jensen's cheeks, a crease between his eyebrows as a wide smile graced his lips. Avery shared a similar look. She pressed her forehead against his as they swayed together. Jensen happily breathed in her space. 
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover
It was strange just how accurately the lyrics described their relationship. Jensen and Avery had done so much in such a short amount of time. They moved in together and had a whole life planned in front of them. But Avery wouldn't mind a few bumps in the road or stops at different attractions, that's what made the journey so fun in the first place. 
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my
Lover
As the last few notes rang out through the speakers, Avery brought Jensen closer for a kiss. She wiped at his cheek to wash away the droplets from his skin. 
After their dance, it was free for everyone else to go onto the dance floor. Jensen and Avery still held each other, an identical smile on their faces. She cupped Jensen's jaw and bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself from smiling so hard. Her jaw would hurt in the morning. 
“I think I understand what Taylor meant by invisible string.” Avery hummed once they sat back down.
Jensen cocked an eyebrow, amused by the admission. “Oh? Share with the class.” He teased softly. 
“Fuck, you're turning into me.” Avery laughed, eyes screwing shut as her shoulders shook. 
“I don't think that's a bad thing.” Jensen planted a kiss on Avery's temple before he planted another on the back of her hand. 
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Elena and Jay dancing together. They looked to be having a ton of fun. Sammy had found one of Jensen's cousins to dance with while Jacob and Mark stood awkwardly next to each other. Misha had opted to dance with Tessa and Mackenzie interchangeably. 
Avery wiggled a little in her chair. “This dress is so beautiful but I can barely fucking move. It's so damn big. I should've had an outfit change or something.” She complained softly. She wanted to dance more with Jensen or Elena. Or Misha. Or in general. 
“Just makes it all the more fun when I take it off you tonight.” Jensen whispered into her ear, arm draped over her shoulder.
Avery let out a breath. “That a promise?” She challenged softly before she took a sip from her champagne flute.
“One I intend to keep,” Jensen nodded, hooking a finger underneath Avery's chin. “If you'll let me.”
Avery smirked into her glass and let out a small chuckle. “Good to know you know your place in the relationship.” She winked, a mischievous glint in her eye.
Jensen raised an eyebrow. As if he hadn't the whole time. “I think it started when we made out at the edge of my pool, sweetheart.” He admitted as he thought back to their first kiss. It was rough and heated and perfect. “You were on top of me and I–” He swallowed, stopping when he remembered Avery was there too. Of course she would have remembered it. 
“And what?�� She pressed. 
“And I knew I was fucked. The good kind of fucked.” Jensen finished with a fond smile. 
Avery watched Jensen intently. He had changed so much in the span of a year. Even just physically. Painted nails, mascara, eyeliner that one time, blush, and a few new tattoos. Then there was his newfound fierce allyship. She didn't know why but she always assumed Jensen would be like any other straight guy she found on the street. Sure, she'd heard stories that he was nice and accepting toward queer people but actually doing something was a different story. 
Jensen was a lot more vocal than Avery expected him to be. Maybe she had a part in that, being trans and all. 
Avery pursed her lips, glancing back at the party happening in front of them. “I think… maybe we should christen the Impala tonight.” 
They could easily sneak out of the reception and park the Impala in the middle of nowhere and no one would notice until the crowd started to dwindle. But Avery thought it'd be better until they waited for the reception to properly end. And so she could change into something else. She had a feeling, that even with how much space the Impala had, it would be a hassle to take it off. 
“Yeah,” Jensen swallowed, “Yeah, okay.” It was like he'd been waiting for those words for months. Ever since he brought the Impala to Columbia.

4 Town x Reader Dating Headcanons
Now that you know how 4 Town are with crushes, let's find out what it's like dating your bias. I tried to make this as gender neutral as possible, but I've headcanoned my sexualities for them in my first post.
Send in requests if you have any!
Robaire
Tumblr media
Robaire is Mr Smooth, we know this, so when in a relationship with him, you can expect all kinds of lavish gifts and romantic gestures. Not that he thinks you're like that, it’s just his way of showing love.
He’ll speak to you in French a lot, just because that little blush that comes to your cheeks when he does this is so cute to him. If you speak another language, though, then just give him a dose of his own medicine. He’ll be too flustered to do anything.
His love languages are words of affirmation and acts of service. Of course, this is because of all his French fanciness, but the responsible side of him really caters to doing stuff for you. Literally anything. Chores around the house especially. If you’re shy or avoidant of conflict, he’ll step in for you and give whoever needs it a talking to. Problems solved.
He’s pretty chill about PDA, so it’s really up to you how affectionate you guys are. He’ll usually have an arm slung over your shoulders or waist, and will give little pecks to your knuckles no matter where you are. 
Now, the ‘L’ word. I feel like Robaire would say it first, and pretty early on. He worried that you’d be freaked out, but he’s very in touch with his feelings and quickly knew that that new, fuzzy feeling in his chest was love. It HAD to be. He took you out to a nice dinner and after an hour or sweaty palms and poorer-than-usual eye contact, he shakily told you he loved you.
He calls you ‘mon amour’, ‘love’, and ‘darling’.
Jesse
Tumblr media
I headcanon Jesse as being pretty experienced with short-term relationships, but not anything super serious. Being a teenage dad changed that, so his relationship with you is full of learning curves. He loves it, though, because you’re worth the effort.
Because he has kids, you two make the most of every moment together. He’s not so into flashy dates like Robaire, but makes the most of the small moments. Whether it’s you touching up his roots or him teaching you the basics of pottery, he cherishes his time with you. Things like this make up the fabric of your relationship.
Love-language-wise, Jesse’s main ones are quality time and acts of service. This is pretty much for reasons already mentioned, but his time is valuable and so giving it to you is the ultimate form of affection. He’s also pretty responsible, like Robaire, and will do anything to make you feel secure, hence acts of service.
He’s not huge on PDA, mainly because his kids are around him a lot. He also worries about the press invading your privacy, so he tends to reserve physical affection for behind closed doors. If you’re insistent on giving him a few kisses or cuddles around the guys, though, he’ll obviously oblige.
Jesse was wary to tell you he loves you, initially. Not because he doubted it, but because he didn’t want to scare you off. He comes as a package deal, and wanted to be sure that you’re ready for that before declaring his love. Once he did though, you both became the strongest couple that the other 4 Town guys had ever laid eyes on. 
Expect to be called ‘sweetheart’, ‘babe’ and ‘honey’.
Aaron T
Tumblr media
Oh man, be prepared for wild ride with a relationship with this guy. Jokes, pranks and general silliness are a given, but he naturally calms down a bit with you. He will wholeheartedly devote everything to you, no questions asked. Expect constant compliments, bone-crushing cuddles and a newfound, fun outlook on life with T.
Spontaneity is a word that pretty much describes T’s whole brand. He never really plans dates, but suggests ideas off the cuff as they occur to him. And he’s super willing to do any activities that you want, too! His favourites include beach days, theme parks and shopping at the mall.
T’s love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. No doubt about it. He’s a clingy guy and is re-energised by your touch, so his hands will be holding yours, playing with your hair or squishing your waist all the time. And we know that T has no verbal filter, so it makes sense that this is another way that he shows love. 
“Babyyyy, I WUV YOUUU!”, “Hold it, lemme take a pic. This light makes you look like an angel, for real…”, “Y’know I’ll love you when we’re old, right?! Like when you’re hair’s all grey and your skin looks like an old leather purse and you can’t go to the bathr- hey, HEY! OKAY I’LL STOP!”.
T’s also big on nicknames, so expect him to call you pretty much every other than your real name.
T has absolutely no problems with PDA, he’s a shameless simp for you. Unless you’re dead against it, he will always be giving you smooches and cuddles. The other guys get kinda annoyed about it at times, but seeing their friend happy makes them happy.
You were actually the first one to say the ‘L’ word. Not that T wasn’t feeling it, he was just too dense to realise that he loved you. You told him spontaneously during an ice cream date. He had just collected the cones from the little stand by the beach, then proceeded to trip over his own feet and drop the cones on the ground. In a fit of giggles, you told him you loved him, and he was too stunned to speak. Of course, he reciprocated, though!
As mentioned, nicknames are unavoidable with T, and you’ll have many, ranging from ‘baby’ to ‘jelly bean’. I don’t make the rules.
Aaron Z
Tumblr media
So, we’ve already cleared up that Z is pretty inexperienced relationship-wise, so you’ll probably have to initiate quite a lot of things. You suggested your first date, leaned in for your first kiss, and instigated pretty much everything else. It’s not that Z doesn’t want to, he just worries about coming on too strong. He’s an intimidating guy to some, so he appreciates you showing him that you’re okay with him.
His affection towards you is a quiet, gentle sort. He’s your rock, truly, and a chill one at that. He appreciates you taking the lead, as we’ve said, and will go along with any dates that you want to do. His favourites usually include snuggling up on the couch with you, though. And yes, in his eyes, that does count as a date. He’s not big on social scenes, and loves having you to himself.
His love languages are for sure physical touch and acts of service. So much of Z’s love is nonverbal, and he shows everything through actions. He’s also very protective, and will do anything to keep you safe. This includes holding you close to him when you’re out and about, reaching up for things on the top shelf so that you don’t stand on a chair and potentially fall, and all sorts of other stuff.
Unsurprisingly, he’s not into PDA at all. People often mistake you for being friends if they don’t know that you’re an item. Z’s a private person, and, in his eyes, a lack of PDA just makes your snuggles and kisses that much more special when you’re alone.
As is the case with T, Z was kinda unsure whether that feeling in his chest was love or not. Because he wasn’t absolutely certain, he kept waiting and waiting until he said anything. You beat him to it, though, blurting it out randomly while you were whispering to each other before going to sleep. His face went unbelievably hot, which was thankfully concealed in the dark, and his heart was hammering in his chest. In a heartbeat, though, he told you he loved you, too.
Although words of affirmation aren’t Z’s main love language, he finds nicknames cute. The main ones he gravitates towards are ‘princess/prince’, ‘cutie’, and ‘sweetie’.
Tae Young
Tumblr media
Being in a relationship with Tae is sweeter thank drinking kool aid through a red vine (Big Bang Theory fans, I see you.) It’s like stepping into a different world where everything is soft and cute and happy. Only Tae can make you feel that way, and you do the same for him.
Dates with Tae usually end up at the zoo, even if you stopped off some place else originally. It’s just such a fun day out, and chances are that if you’re with Tae, you like animals too. If you decide to switch things up, though, expect to be taken around local bakeries and sweet shops. Tae is a real foodie, and you both have so much fun taste testing different snacks and rating them.
Tae’s love languages are physical touch and gift-giving. He loves surprising you with little trinkets or things that you’ve had your eye on for a while. And while he’s kinda shy at times, he’s just as clingy as T and loves feeling connected to you physically.
Now, with PDA, Tae probably won’t initiate it. At least not consciously. He usually has his fingers entwined with yours when out in public, but it won’t go much further than that. If you want kisses from him when you’re out and about, you’ll have to either give him one or just straight up tell him.
Tae knew that he loved you for quite a while before telling you. He just never knew how to word it. Turns out, he didn’t really need to plan anything as he randomly blurted it out. You had been apart for a couple of days, and when you reunited, he said it without even thinking. Initially he was mortified, but one kiss and an ‘I love you too’ from you was all he needed to gain his confidence back.
His favourite nicknames include 'dove', 'love' and 'darling'.

A Time to Fight and to Love
Part Twenty - Two
Summary: Closing of a chapter in life.
Warnings/Notes: Angst, Vision of possible death (makes reference to canon novel/movie end of Enjolras), Fluff, sadness of reader’s father’s passing, dated modes of thinking with marriage..woman’s role.
Long chapter. Two collages. There are a few more chapters lined up. 😥 I am having fun expanding on the character of Enjolras…hope you like it too! and after a bit there is some fluff. Oh! So yes…I veered more away from canon…and one of the pictures I used in my collage is not terribly accurate (might change) but it helps convey the setting.
Thank you for reading! ❤️s & reblogs are always welcome. Feedback is also very…very welcome!
Blinking, you stirred to the sun dancing on your closed eyes. Stretching and yawning, you finally opened your eyes.
Seeing Enjolras, you relaxed. He had fallen asleep, sitting at the end of the sofa. You allowed yourself to smile at the sight of him before you. Easily, you could tell by how his lashes rested on his cheeks and the softness of his face, he was deeply asleep.
Glancing around the room, it looked even more welcoming in the light of day. You could now see that it was a small library, sitting area. Shifting you were careful not to awake Enjolas. An eagerness came over you when you saw all of the books.
That’s when you spotted a plate of food. Your stomach churned in delight. There was food you had not laid your eyes on in months, if not longer. You glanced back at Enjolras and smiled. He had certainly raided his solicitor’s kitchen.
PausIng, resting your elbow on your thigh you sat there and looked him over. The warm light of the day that poured into the room, made his curls a richer looking brown. Seeing how they rested on his forehead made you smile. All of it made him even more impossibly handsome. It made your heart flutter. You resisted the urge to press a kiss to his cheek. He needed his rest.
There was much more you had learn about him but you were grateful that you were given the chance. Feeling cornered in that alleyway, watching him clang swords with that solider made you tremble. You could feel your throat tighten. At any moment, he could have been run through. Several more soldiers could have poured out of that doorway. You know they would have lined up the two of you….a cry of anguish came from the pit your stomach. You finally realized that you had biting your fist when a blossom of pain hit you.
“Angel, are you ok?” Enjolras’s gravely voice freed you from your visions.
Blinking, you opened your eyes and you found Enjolras was kneeling in front of you.
Your bottom lip trembled, shaking your head you let your sink to carpet. “No.” You managed weakly.
“Oh my ange, mon doux ange.” He whispered as you felt his arms wrapping his arms around.
You nestled close. “Enjolras, I had been so afraid. He could have run you through, they could have lined us up.” Your voice trailed off.
“But It didn’t happen Courfeyrac and I managed. We’re safe. I will always make sure you are safe.”
“Oh Enjolras.” You whimpered, as you nestled even closer; his arms around you tightened.
******
The trunk creaked when opened. Inwardly, your heart sank, none of your possessions were going with you. Enjolras knelt down beside it and carefully opened his pillowcase.
“In England, we will make new memories.”
You nodded. “We will start a new chapter in our lives.”
“Yes, yes we will.”
A ghost a smile touched his lips before he looked back into the pillowcase. He inhaled sharply.
“Is everything ok?” A pang of worry went through you. He gently took out your scarf.
“Oh, my scarf. With everything I forgot we tucked that in there.”
“Me too.”
******
You tucked your scarf into the trunk, which was now brimming with items. Enjolras looked everything over a final time before locking it. He slipped the key into one of inside pockets of his jacket.
You glanced at Olivier.
“I don’t even know what to say.”
Olivier smiled. “You made this young man happy. And that makes me happy.” He replied warmly.
Enjolras stood and dusted his hands off.
“Olivier, you out did yourself. That is more then I’ve allowed myself to have since living here on my own.”
“I know Julien. Someone did help me with that.”
“Oh?”
Olivier turned to you. “Let us go to my office.”
*****
His stomach churned, these last few months he had insisted she stay in the country. He had been terribly concerned for her safety. The months had passed quickly.
“Julien.”
He turned and watched as his mother began to close the distance, he met her halfway.
“Olivier, sent word.”
“I see.” He exhaled and shook his head. “It’s worse then ever.”
“He told me. But he didn’t want you to leave without me seeing you.”
“What if the carriage had been stopped? I don’t see or hear father. Who would have protected you.”
“There was no way, I was not going to say goodbye to my son.”
His mother’s eyes were piercing. It reminded him of the times he would try to hide from her the few times the foil or the saber landed.
He stepped closer. He relieved to see his mother but the thought of her risking her life to come here made his relief and annoyance mix. It made him ill.
He glanced away, he knew it was a mother thing, but she made him feel like a child.
“You risked alot.” He pressed his lips together, meeting her eyes.
She shrugged. “You are my only son.” She reached a gloved hand up to cup his cheek. “I couldn’t bear the thought of not saying goodbye, I love you.” She gave him a soft smile. “And I have to meet woman that made you change your vow.”
He placed his good hand over hers. “Thank you, mother. I love you too.”
That’s when she saw his wrapped hand. She opened and closed her mouth but didn’t say a word.
“So he told you that as well.”
She stepped back and met his eyes again.
“Yes.”
*******
“I want you to know, I swear I will do all in my power to reach out to your mama and Greta. If it continues to be safe enough, I will get them passage to you and Enjolras.”
“Juilien.”
The older man gave you a soft smile. “Yes, Juilien.”
There was a sharp knock on the door.
He smiled. “This is probably her. I assure you, she is a firm but kind woman. A lot of her is in Julien.”
“Ok.” You whisper and inhale. You were nervous.
“Ah dear woman,” You heard him greet her. “Yes, she is in here. I shall give the two of you some time.”
Glancing your way, he nodded.
At first you were going to have hold your hands in front but at the last moment you brought them behind you. The door closed with a whisper.
In your nervousness you kept looking at the wooden floor. You could practically feel the grains in the planks. The floor creaked as the woman came over.
“Oh my, do look up. I am not a tyrant.”
You did and there was no doubt where Enjolras got his charisma from. She was elegant, like your mama when father was still alive. So you could only imagine what his father was like. Though, hers made you nervous she had traveled through the night and still looked amazing.
Behind your back you wrung your hands. You would not fidget, even when you could practically feel as she looked you up and down. Never had you been more grateful you had worn your best dress for the wedding ceremony. It was elegant and beautiful, but was not too extravagant.
“So you are the lady that made my son break his vow?”
“Yes. I oh, I’m sorry.”
“No, speak my child.”
“He told me of a promise he made. I didn’t realize it had been a vow.”
“Ah, yes. He can be quiet at times when he should talk and then will talk lot when he doesn’t have to.” She smiled.
You nodded.
“Pardon my assumption but you don’t look like one fighting along side him. How did you two meet?”
“Your assumption was correct. We met by chance. I was out late one night getting medicine for my mama. Our paths crossed and he made sure to escort me the rest of the way to the physician and then back to my house.”
She smiled at that. “That pleases me to hear.” Her eyes were quite keen, Enjolras had her eyes, and they could be utterly unwavering. “But do you not have a brother or father that could have done that?”
You had to stop yourself from giggling, since he had said the same exact thing when you informed of your actions.
“I have no brother and my father died at sea.”
“Oh, I am sorry.”
*******
You watched as she removed a beautiful brooch that accented her dress. She pressed her lips together then looked at you.
“To be honest, I wish I could have grown to know you during a courtship between you and my son.” She sighed. “But these are difficult and hard times.”
You nodded.
“I fully expected when getting that telegram I was going to be bringing him home for his final rest.” Her eyes twinkled. “Instead here we are. You must be pretty special.”
You could see that her eyes had become shiny. A lump formed in your throat.
“But here he is, young and as handsome as ever, and with a lovely wife.”
She smiled.
You felt the warmth of a flush in your cheeks. “Thank you.”
“As I’m sure you are aware he is and can be incredibly charming,” She took a step closer to you. “it is how he kept from getting in trouble as a young boy. He did get into fair amount of scraps but he’d tell what happened and I wouldn’t have the heart to punish him.“
You nodded.
She sighed. “That is why in the end, I didn’t fight too hard when he told me of his vow for France.” She grimaced. “I also knew that in end he’d still leave. If I pushed too hard, I worried I’d never see or hear from him again.”
Her gloved thumb grazed the elegance of the broach. Glancing down, it reminded you of treasures your father would bring home from his trips.
“It is that stubborn side of his I wanted to avoid. Once his heart is set, he has rarely ever changed his mind.”
At least you couldn’t help but a small giggle. “I have seen that side of him too.”
“I am sure you have.” She joined you with a smile and nodded. Then all at once, the air felt heavy.
“Since, I trust my son I accept you as his wife.” Her eyes met yours. You could see the intensity they shared. “Promise, me if he blesses you with a daughter, you can give this to her or if you are blessed with a son; he can give it to woman he loves. Till then I give you this with my blessing.”
“I…I don’t know what to say.” Your voice faltered as she placed it your hands.
“You don’t need to breath a word. Just love him. And be a kind yet firm mother to the children that will surely bloom within you.”
“I promise.”
******
With a help of Olivier’s maid, she helped you dress. Now you were clad in your new day dress. Your wedding dress was safely stored away in the trunk along with your gift from Enjolras’s mother. It had been decided that something a little more functional would be best for the journey to England.
You tried to look at France as much as you could while the carriage bounced along the cobble stones. Beside you, Enjolras and Olivier were discussing some final arrangements.
You looked at the boat then back France. You were about to start a whole new life in England. Father, you thought to yourself, I’m on the cusp of an adventure. A new start. This was something you could have never ever imagined. But here you were.
Now on the way to ocean, you had become certain you’d never return. A part of it broke your heart. Anguish still sliced at you, that you’d never see mama and Greta again.
You were grateful that Olivier had given you some paper to write them both a letter explaining. They had to realize it was too dangerous to return.
You hoped that the doctor had not just been giving shallow boasts. He better scoop her up and usher her away to the country. Maybe after she would tell him, of you going to live in England would be enough for him to do that. And maybe that would give her a second chance at some happiness.
******
You smelled the ocean before it came into view. Simultaneously, you felt an uneasiness come over you and yet it also felt so familiar. It had been a scent growing up you had been used to. The scent clung to your father for weeks after he would return with his treasures. But it was also the ocean that led to him never coming home.
