hi yes you aren't just a gifmaker to me. ive listened to take my hand because of you! question: what are your fav buddiecoded 5sos songs? i wanna listen to them and develop a new band obsession
I'm happy you've listened to take my hand because of my edits!!!!! I've been preparing my whole life for this question mspaksoakaokapakaoa
I'm actually gonna start this list with a 5sos adjacent song, the lead singer, Luke Hemmings, he has a solo album (incredible album, it's called when facing the things we turn away from, maybe check it out if you feel like it) but he has a song called slip away that I can't hear without thinking about buddie, I even made a video (you can watch it here if you want).
Invisible is the most pre 118 Buck song ever and I take no criticism about that. That one has a set because I didn't feel emotionally stable enough to make the video lol. And TEARS! is very Eddie coded (here's the video lol). High is also really Buck coded. (Edit)
I like making castaway, if you don't know and moodswings about the cemetery and the lawsuit, the moments where we question how we can keep watching buddie breakup if they're not even together. If you don't know is not available in the us tho, so if you're from there you may not be able to hear it. I like picturing established buddie to disconnected so that's another one. I also have video edits of caramel, and lover of mine, those are a bit about me really liking the song (lover of mine is why my url is what it is lol) and forcing it to fit but they are really good songs.
Some blanket recommendations that I take out of context to fit them are: ghost of you, talk fast, close as strangers, story of another us, you don't go to parties (there's a line about a couch lol) and lonely heart. And I am legally required to recommend jet black heart to anyone asking about 5sos. And outerspace/carry on. And my personal favorite 5sos songs are airplanes, red line and wrapped around your finger (I am writing a whole buddie fic based on wrapped so maybe you can make it about them kspakapakap)
And I have a tag for 5sos inspired edits. I'm pretty sure all the songs I've used in an edit before are here tho. (I went to check and that's a lie: other songs I have used for 911 are: emotions (this one is very Eddie coded), bad omens (highkey one of the best 5sos songs), kill my time, not in the same way, vapor, tomorrow never dies, thin white lies, take what you want and bleach, but these are mostly out of context lines I think would fit them)

another mark friends-to-lovers au lol
part of the same storyline as my previous post !!!! where mark and oc are best friends in the same friend group in high school and oc starts falling for mark even though he likes to play into the running joke that they're some perfect couple.
i think i might make this another series of oneshots bc i... am not ready to write a whole full blown fic yet AHAHAHAH we'll see lol but i just wanted to put this up in case i never touch it again
here's the previous post!
---
It’s almost as if Mark wants to continue proving you wrong. Because as much as you think there’s already so much about him that’s attractive, endearing, hot, whatever; he seems to pile on even more labels and traits that make you want to melt into a puddle of nothingness. It's like he's aiming to become one of those... multi-hyphenates that the teachers in school like to talk about.
He got his stupid Driver’s License. 
And to be honest, you never really thought it was hot that people could drive- it’s literally just operating an automobile, a routine of turning the steering wheel and hitting pedals- so what about it could possibly ever evoke any sense of attractive quality to it?
Maybe you’re just biased because it’s Mark who’s driving right now, after so long of boasting about how he got his license and how he’s already “reeeaaalllyyy good”. You sit in the passenger’s seat as he drives you back home from another day at the Library, and you buckle your seatbelt just a little tighter, holding onto it in fear as he starts the car to pull out of the parking lot.
He punches at your shoulder lightly, “Hey! I promise I’m fine! Look, I can do the one handed thingy!”
“Literally, don’t. Isn’t it dangerous, or something?”
“I mean, kinda, but I swear I’ve got it down. See?”
And got it down, he does- and you can’t lie and say it wasn’t cool. Maybe even hot. His hand on the steering wheel, he turns around to look behind the car, leaning in a little closer to you, and you have to will yourself to look away from the concentration on his face, and how good he looks with his hair out and not hidden by a cap, his circle-rimmed glasses resting on his nose. Your eyes land on the knife of a jawline he has, and then they naturally travel up to his lips that are so incredibly pink and plump-
“Cool, right?” He manoeuvres successfully, and makes a straight to send you home, and you gulp, staring straight at the street in front of you. It’s almost as if his stare has a weight of its own, crushing you, pressing you to squeeze into the car door. It’s so embarrassing that you’re secretly harbouring all of these feelings, they’re so…. strange, and maybe even inappropriate since you’re just friends.
“Okay, fine, it is pretty cool. Now you just have to get me home in one piece.” You laugh, and just pray, that for the love of God, you can just get through another day without getting flustered over something stupid like this.
“Oh yeah, I wanted you to listen to this! Unlock my phone and go into my Spotify, it’s the top playlist.”
He hands you his phone, and continues, “You remember Phony Ppl, right? They had that song you liked with Megan Thee Stallion? Well, I found one of their new songs and someone in a YouTube comment said it was sampled on the first song in that playlist, but I swore it sounded like this old 5SOS song.”
Huh. Funny. The very first song in the playlist is titled ‘I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On,’ and you literally want to punch yourself in the face. You press play.
It’s a funky disco-beat- Mark’s recommendation playlist for you has been full of these songs lately. 
“Hmm, it’s fun! I love the synths, they’re going crazy. Also, love your car’s stereo? Wow!”
You’re starting to really like it, it’s groovy, it’s fun, and then she starts singing, so you look at the lyrics on his phone- they’re not synced to the song, so you just scroll, skimming through in curiosity. And in huge, bold, white letters, almost to mock you,
You read me wrong. I wasn’t trying to lead you on. I want a friend. I didn’t mean to turn you on.
Haha. Oh my God. Hahahaha. You nod your head in awkwardness, but then try to play it off by looking like you’re just doing it to the music. 
“Right?! It’s such a bop, man! And yeah, sometimes I have to stop myself from playing the music too loud. If not I can literally feel the vibrations in my fingers. Okay, anyways, the song itself is like, seven whole minutes, and gets kinda repetitive at the end, so you can just skip to the next one. Just listen to the intro!”
‘Nowhere But Up’ sounds pretty similar to the previous song, it’s pretty clear they did sample it, yet they’ve definitely made it their own since the vibe is completely different, and the lyrics are still on the screen, and Wow! They do not get any better.
So, like hold on, you, you wait, so you want me to chase you through this song? Huh, you sound crazy, you sound crazy. The last thing I remember is you said that you want me.
You chuckle sardonically before you can even stop yourself, and you should’ve seen this coming, but he asks you what’s so funny and you have to come up with a lie on the spot.
“Oh, no, the bass is ridiculously good! That part in the intro? It’s so good. This part.” You replay the part, and he agrees, “Yeah! Their bass lines are always so sick.” There is a moment of silence shared just to listen to the music, and the suffocating feeling of his eyes on you is back for a brief moment before he continues to tap the rhythm on the steering wheel, head bopping to the beat.
Then his phone buzzes, the ping interrupting your moment of solace, and you see the text message notification from Karina before he can even ask who it is. 
[karina ☺️, 2002] heeeey wru
Your heart drops to your stomach- it’s almost as if this is the perfect storm of events and it’s not even just your confirmation bias, almost as if he did play those songs to unknowingly reject you, no- almost as if he knew you how you felt, almost as if he was deliberately trying to shut you down. 
“Ooooooo! Karina just texted you.” You wiggle your eyebrows and try to force as much excitement and curiosity as possible for someone that just got their life and soul sucked out of their body. 
“Oh, um,” Mark, too, looks pretty shocked. “Can IIIIIIIII open it?” You stare intently at him, waiting for his answer, stare right at his face like he has something to explain to you. Which, he doesn’t, not necessarily. But you still feel this way anyway. He licks his lips, as if in contemplation.
“Yeah, sure. What’d she say?” 
“She just asked where you are. Are you supposed to be anywhere right now?” Hands clammy, you click on the notification. At first glance, it does look like they’ve been talking quite a bit- they even texted each other ‘gn’ three days ago. Everything is sending you into a frenzy, and you’re trying to convince yourself it’s just a normal thing people do. Friends do. You’ve texted Yeonjun ‘goodnight’ before, and it doesn’t mean anything. Where does he have to be? Are they supposed to go on a date? Where could they be possibly going on a Saturday Night? 
His voice cuts off your train of thought- “Oh, shit!” His voice cracks, and there’s just so much panic packed into the tiny space of his car, “I’m supposed to be in some Zoom Call right now, it’s for the project we’re doing. Uhhh, tell her I’m on the way home right now, I’ll be there in 5 minutes.”
You type away, and all the fear that struck terror in your soul seems to have deflated, yet it’s left your heart palpitating. You feel so stupid for feeling so worked up about this, it’s crazy. Never in your life had you thought you’d be overcome with jealousy, even if it was for a tiny moment, but you suppose that it’s really just the uncertainty that spurs it all. 
You know, since you don’t know how he feels about you. No clue at all about whether or not he reciprocates whatever stupid crush you have. He literally just recommended two songs that were about turning someone down. But then again, when has he ever sent cryptic messages through his song choices? It’s totally unlike him, and your leaping-to-conclusions- brain is just incredible at making complete nonsense of anything that’s happening. 
God, you need to convene with Minji and Ryujin again. Your hand is itching to whip your phone out to send a text, why in front of Mark you’re not too sure, maybe the desperation really has gotten to you.
“Can I take the call at your place? It’s only going to be, like, thirty minutes max, I think.” He’s come over multiple times, it really isn’t that big of a deal. It’s fine. Your mom likes him. Haha. 
“Yeah, sure, I think my mom’s home and she probably wouldn’t mind.”
The next song has started.
“Great, thanks! Oh, this was the last song I wanted to show you, the 5SOS one? Do you hear the similarity? Like the chord progressions, and the rhythm? It’s not the same synth sound, I mean, duh, it’s a guitar, but yeah.”
When you’re talking to your girls, do you talk about me? Do you tell’ em that you love me the way that I’ve been loving you?
You are seriously going to punch yourself in the face later.
---

i'm at a festival rn but i wrote this a while ago so i'm using my 4G. sorry for being kinda off the grid i'll be properly back in a few days <3
requested: yes/no (requests are open) word count:837 (these will get longer i promise) warnings: fem!reader, mentions of death, slight death description but nothing all that detailed, swearing? idk its me there's probably swearing. not properly proof read. angst or at least my attempt summary: after her untimely death, fred mourns y/n song prompt 5: ghost of you - 5sos a/n: i got the timeline a bit fucked on this one, so just pretend that fred didn't leave when he did thank you.
i'm starting a taglist you can join here you don't have to be following me but it's always appreciated <3
every heavy step he took, every whisper he heard, none of it compared to the pain buried deep in his chest. none of it compared to the throbbing he felt in his head when he thought of her, the tears he shed over her. "im sorry freddie, i just can't. i love you, but this is all too much right now" the last words she ever spoke to him, the last thing he ever got to hear her say. and after that he got an even bigger kick in the nuts after she died, he was constantly reminded that he'd never get to speak to her again, never get to hold her again, kiss her again, do all the things he loved to do with her.
sirius wasn't the only one to die the night they broke into the ministry, she was gone too. ron blamed himself for the loss of the person his brother loved the most. the golden trio always asked her for helped when they needed it, after all she was even smarter than hermione, and not just book smart, she was life smart. she was a puzzle solver. she was their secret weapon. as they began to run out of the castle after giving those nit wits the puking pastels, they bumped into her. "y/n just the person we need right now, do you wanna come on a potentially life threatening mission with us?" after just breaking up with fred earlier that day, she needed a distraction. potentially life threatening sounded like a good enough distraction so she followed them. "what's y/n doing here? did you not understand when i said this was stupid and dangerous?" harry asked slightly annoyed, it was no secret he always had a bit of a thing for her, whether this was protecting her or him not wanting to see her cause she had a boyfriend, at least in his mind she did. as remus held back harry after sirius died, bellatrix pulled one more stunt. she cast the killing curse, directing it at the already heart broken girl, now causing permanent damage. everyone was in utter shock, y/n l/n was dead.
when they got back fred was the first to notice her absence "do you guys know where y/n is? i figured she went with you. anyway i need to talk to her" everyone took a deep breath, no one wanted to be the one to break it to him, he already looked sad, they didn't want to be the one to hurt him even more "what are you not telling me? guys what's going on?" ginny was the one to break the news, she knew someone had to do it and she couldn't bare to look at his worried figure anymore. even though she knew what was to come next was something much worse. she was right, he completely broke down, not even caring about who was their and who would see him in such a state.
he couldn't even bare to sleep in his own bed anymore, even that reminded him of her. and every time he did it just dug a bigger hole in his heart. he tried to drown out the symphonies of silence but nothing could stop him from chasing the ghost of her and his past. no matter how hard he tried. everyone told him "you were so young to even know what love was. one day, one day you'll find someone else and you'll love them even more than you did her" they thought it was comforting but it was just demeaning. in his life the only thing that truly mad sense to him was her, and his love for her. it was something he never questioned, not even when she told him she wasn't in the right place to date him right now. and as much as your last words to him were bad ones, he still found good in them. "i love you. but it's all just too much right now". most would look at those words and feel pain, but he didn't. "i love you" it brought him comfort. she didn't break up with him because she stopped loving him. she broke up with him because of circumstance. bad luck on his part.
even as the wall fell on him, even as he heard percey's screams of his name, he still found comfort in you. at least i'll be with her. where ever i'm going at least i'll be with her. and for the first time in over a year he was no longer dancing away from the ghost like presence he felt cloud around him every day. for once he was running towards it. finally feeling more alive than he did when he actually was. it was ironic, yes. cliche? yes. but it was something that brought him peace. peace in his final moments. because every day since she dies he chased down the truth that his feet physically couldn't dance the way they did with her.

NASCAR!READER X FRIENDS!5SOS
the reader is a nascar driver and best friends with 5sos, they’re there for her after a crash
Tumblr media
gif credit @ghostsofhood
(i dont know jack shit about nascar fam so here we go)
-having met the band at a party somewhere
-most of the guys there knew who you were and were all trying to pick your brain about driving and what it feels like and the danger
-going outside and stumbling across the four of them chilling out there
-you expect them to start asking you questions too but they seem to not know who you are?
-”you can grab a seat if you’d like.” one smiles, pushing over a chair
-oh, they’re Australian... that makes sense
-taking a seat and you begin talking to them
-you assume they must be famous, most of the people at the party are and those who arent are very obvious to pick out
-”so what do the four of you do? i mean, obviously you’re not here because you want a taste of the celebrity life.” you say, taking a sip of beer
-”we’re a band. i play bass. i’m Cal by the way.” he holds out a hand for you to shake and you grin
-”let me guess,” you say looking at all of them, “guitar?” you ask
-”haha, yeah, I’m Michael.”
-”okay well that makes you the singer and obviously you’re the drummer, you have the look.” you say
-”wow, four outta four.” one of the blondes laughs, “i’m Ash and that’s Luke. so we’re musicians, what do you do?”
-”im a Nascar Driver. Y/N L/N. nice to meet you guys.” you answer
-”Nascar, that’s insane, you don’t look like a race-car driver.” Michael laughs
-”what do you mean?” you grin
-”you’re a hot girl!” Michael answers
-spending the night talking to them and laughing your asses off
-you all exchange numbers
-the next day Ashton messages you about going for a drive
-showing up in your beautiful car and Ashton is shook but he should have expected that because i mean, you love race cars for a living
-you drive like a wild person and Ash is shook AF but he laughs his ass off and has the time of his life
-”isn’t it dangerous to drive like this?” he asks when you finally pull off to the side of the road to park and walk down to the beach
-”yeah but i haven’t crashed yet... so.” you shrug, “and i mean, it is my job.”
-the others hear about how exhilarating it is to drive around with you and by the end of the week all of them had been in your passenger seat
-they definitely see the allure of being a professional race car driver
-and the way you look so at ease in the drivers seat, laughing your ass off as they grab onto the door and hold on for dear life as you go up another gear... well its obvious that you are a race car driver
-you have a race coming up and send them all an invite, NASCAR loves you and it’s easy enough to get tickets for them even though the race is sold out
-at first they’re super excited
-as soon as you walk onto the track to get into your car they’re all chatting about how good you look in your track suit
-the cars line up and they can feel the adrenaline of waiting, Luke is straight up biting his nails impatiently
-the race starts and at first they’re all super excited but as it continues they start to realize how fucking dangerous it is
-a car in front of you spins out and flips, you swerve to avoid it and it just narrowly misses you
-the boys all watch in shock
-”holy fuck.” Michael groans
-you come around a curve and a car slams into your side, trying to push you out of the way
-”this is insane.” Calum groans, watching through his fingers
-you maneuver in a way to get the person off your side and they end up skidding out from being too aggressive
-you pull ahead and its obvious you’re going to win
-they knew you were good at your job but actually watching it is a whole different story
-you car speeds over the finish line and Ashton lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding, “fuck, that was intense.”
-the race finishes up and the guys head down to the area you told them to go so security could let them into see you
-you’re sitting in a lounge, still in the track suit
-”you guys made it!” you grin, “what did you think about the race?”
-”it was mental. i can’t believe this is your job.” Michael says, hugging you.
-they can all see you’re practically glowing. 
-they know exactly how you feel
-its like when they get off stage
-”lets celebrate your big win.” Ashton suggests
-”deal, but i’m driving.” you grin
-as if they could convince you otherwise
-you continue to be friends while they work on their new album and you chill around in between races
-each race you narrowly miss potentially savagely getting slammed or flipped and each time the guys hide their eyes or hold their breaths
-”i can’t believe it’s just a normal risk for her.” Luke sighs one day after you’d skidded but managed to get your wheels traction again and finished second
-after that one you can tell something is up with them because when they come down to see you they all look kind of wrecked.
-”whats wrong with you guys?” you ask pulling them each into a hug
-”its just really dangerous.” Cal sighs
-”we get scared for you.” Luke agrees
-”i’ll be fine. i’m a great driver.” you assure them
-and they want to believe you but they can’t because you don’t really have any control over whether or not you crash
-but they keep their mouths shut
-the day of the next race they all sit there anxiously
-Cal had looked it up and found out that this race was, as commentators put it, “going to be quite difficult for Y/N to pull off.” something about the track being “unforgiving” which made no sense to the group of Aussies who didn’t know jack shit about Nascar
-but they’re all worried as they watch you get into the car and the timer tick down
-the sound of wheels and engines erupts as all the cars take off
-their eyes follow your every movement
-its obvious that you’re the one to beat and cars are coming up next to you and swerving to tap into you but you manage to dodge every move
-but they can sense the impending doom
-they don’t know how but they can
-Ashton leans forward while Calum brings his hands up to his mouth, Luke bites his nails and Michael bites his lip
-the sound of the car ramming into you is deafening
-the skid of tires
-and then your car is flipping 
-and cars are dodging the huge metal structure 
-the car comes to a stop and the crowd is silent
-”fuck fuck fuck fuck.” Ashton mutters
-the medical team comes out 
-the car is upside down but the door opens and it feels like the entire crowd lets out a breath
-you manage to crawl out, but it looks like your leg is hurt because you’re limping away from the wreck that’s now on fire
-”thank fuck.” Michael groans
-Luke is the one who grabs them all, “we have to go.” he states as they all leave the stands and head down to the VIP off limits area
-the security guards know them by now and all offer small smiles, “she’s a fighter.” one says as they let the guys through 
-one of the workers stops the guys outside the medical room, “you can’t go in there.”
-”is Y/N okay?” Michael asks, “is she-”
-”how bad is it?” Ashton interrupts
-”she’s stable, we’re sending her to the hospital-” the worker tries to explain.
-its tough to get all the info but they finally manage to bully it out of someone and then they’re racing to the hospital
-the nurses there inform them that you’re in surgery because your leg was kind of messed up but you’ll be out soon
-”is one of you her boyfriend?” the nurse asks
-”no, we’re just friends.” Luke answers
-they’re let into your room and each take a seat while they wait for you to wake up
-”she looks so broken.” Luke says, frowning
-you groan when you begin to wake up and suddenly they’re all there, except Ash who runs to grab a nurse
-”Y/N how do you feel?” Michael asks
-”like i was in a car crash, how do you think?” you say, coughing
-they all grin and Cal gets you some water
-so, all things considered, the crash wasn't actually that bad
-just a broken leg and a minor concussion but you’re fine
-and you bet your ass these four are going to take care of you
-also... the broken leg is your right one so you can’t drive
-being the biggest back seat driver ever. like, as they’re driving you back to your place and Ashton is driving the speed limit you’re groaning from the back, “god, seriously? just go a tiny bit faster Ash.”
-”stop being such an adrenaline junkie.” Ashton laughs from the front seat
-they are in for a whole lot of pain because we’re talking 6-8 weeks with this cast on and you can’t drive anywhere
-”come on Ash, all i’m saying is slightly over the speed limit.” you groan
-Luke carries you into your place
-”so what movie do you want to watch first?”
-”you guys really don’t have to stay and take care of me, i’m not a baby.”
-but of course they do. at least one of them is over like every day
-they all give in a little to your racecar driver ways and take you driving
-Luke is the first one to break and go a little over the speed limit
-but of course it’s not good enough
-”i can’t believe you’re not scared of being in a car.” Luke says
-”i practically live in a car.” you answer, “besides, as soon as i have this cast off i need to get back behind the wheel again.”
-Luke doesn’t say anything about it but of course as soon as he leaves your place he sends a group text to the others because part of him thought that would be the end of you racing
-i feel like Cal and Ash wouldn’t be surprised
-but now that it’s being talked about it’s kinda like ‘are we going to keep going even though its terrifying because next time the crash might not be so benign’ 
-its a tough decision because they all want to support you... but, they’re still having nightmares about watching your car flip, especially Luke
-they try to come up with safe things to do to make your heart get pumping with adrenaline
-we’re talking full on getting shopping carts and running around deserted parking lots with you in the shopping cart (yes. Amnesia style fam.)
-and it’s fun and you have a laugh, but it’s nothing like being in a car
-watching bad race-car movies together at your place
-can you imagine these boys watching “talladega nights”? it would be wild
-but they steer away from the drama race car movies like Rush because they do not want to see another car crash, even if it’s on tv, any time soon
-Cal comes over to your place one day to find you just sitting in the front seat of your car
-having a real heart to heart about how much you miss driving
-”what would you do if something happened on stage and the people around you didn’t want you to preform anymore.” “Y/N we’re not saying you should stop driving-” “but you’re thinking it.”
-boi can’t argue there
-Cal gets into the passenger seat and is just like “it was bad. when your car flipped. it looked really bad. we weren’t sure... we didn’t know if you would be okay. it’s just tough for us.”
-but Cal gets it.
-he’s the one that drives you to get your cast off the day it’s done
-when you come out of the doctors office he holds out his car keys and you you grin as you take them, pressing a kiss against his cheek before jumping into the drivers seat
-only going a little bit over the speed limit
-he notices and appreciates it
-Cal continues going to your races. Ashton too
-Luke and Michael are a bit more reserved about it, opting for just a ‘she finished the race’ text from one of the other guys at first
-but finally Michael comes
-and Luke is pacing at home, the race starting in an hour, and he gives in, coming to the track
-its tough for them to watch. but they want to be supportive. because at the end of the day, if anything bad does happen, at least they’ll be right there to pick up your broken pieces
