I'm gonna do things!!! actually me: *stares at blank space for 30 mins*

I'm sorry anon, I know you were probably wanting a really well thought out response to that question about being bitten and I didn't give it to you but I hope you're happy about forcing me to think about:

Zhongli taking a moment to swipe at the smallest remnant of tea on your bottom lip and freezing when you decide to give his thumb a teasing bite. It's not that it's unusual for you to do such a thing, frankly he's come to expect when you might be feeling particularly playful. However, a bite during this time of the year - when the seasons are turning warmer and churning that ancient need in him - and this openly with that gleam of a playful challenge in your eyes; it conjures an old adage in his mind. "Let sleeping dragons lie, lest you bring their wrath upon your head". Hmm...how curious a thing it is indeed. To be in such a dangerous position - quite literally in a dragon's palm - and to flirt so openly with one such as powerful as he. A god such as he. Ah, but you are unaware of that; unaware of the god Morax sitting across from you, stirring at the feel of your teeth just barely biting into him. He could take it as a challenge. He could allow his wrath to pour freely. But...ah, yes. This deep seated coil of heat is not wrath - he knows that quite well.

Neuvillette trying oh so hard to hold back his instincts when he feels your breath tickling his neck. He'd gotten used to letting you settle in his lap when he brought his work home some evenings. He'd gotten used to carrying you to bed when you'd inevitably fall asleep. He'd even gotten used to sternly yet gently declining your invitations for him to rest with you. He'd never thought he'd be here, you having nosed the loose collar of his shirt down, brushing your lips against his exposed skin, and threatening - not threatening, *teasing* - to bite him unless he come to bed and rest with you. It's not the right spot; no, it's a bit too far off. But it's close enough. Close enough for it to click something in his mind. Something ancient. Something primal. A mate's mark is nothing to take lightly, especially not when it comes to making a bond with a dragon. Alas: You are not aware that he's a dragon. He'll sate you for now, close up his books and worry over his work tomorrow, and join you for once - so long as you do not try to bite him again. He's kept his secrets from you thus far; do not force his wants and instincts to reveal everything to you in the throes of passion. He wants it to be a bit more...romantic than that.

stargazing - Shen Jiu x Shen Yuan

but they, ah, got a little distracted 👀👉👈

Thanks @ruensroad for the fantastic prompt! Shen Jiu spent most of his childhood/teen years outside at night avoiding…life, and finally got to put his knowledge of stars to good use.

Ashamed to admit that just now when Cannibal by Kesha came on my brain immediately created a celebrity au where Jimmy is a controversial music artist and a string of high profile celebrity murders been happening lately….

Oh no wait, now I’m thinking of an entire au with other chars too—

Ghost is also a musical artist, being the lead singer in a band with Spooker, Colon, and Katrina (it used to be Ghost, Toast, and Katrina but a big fallout happened before any of them rose to fame that led to Toast leaving back to England and eventually becoming a model). I imagine Katrina as bassist, Spooker on drums, and Colon on guitar. Ghost used to be drummer, and Toast guitarist and lead vocalist, but Ghost took over vocals after his departure and Colon took over for Toast, with Spooker being a very last minute addition by chance when they heard how good he was and Katrina convinced Ghost having someone else on drums would leave him more time to focus on vocals and writing. Also, I feel like all of them would sing but Ghost is the one who sings most of the songs (also he can scream crazy good and I stand by that (also it’s hot af lmao)). Colon probably had mild experience in singing but has improved a lot since then, and Spooker had NO natural or learned singing skills going into the band and is still not quite up to par with his bandmates, but he’s improved /so/ much.

Toast would probably do modeling cuz, duh. But also he writes books and a lot of people won’t give them a chance because they think he’s just a pretty face but he’s actually a talented writer of supernatural mysteries. Also, more recently he got into acting and blew up on the big screen and prefers the acting gigs because he feels like he gets to showcase more of his skills and get more appreciation for them than he got in modeling.

Gavin probably is a stunt double for Toast. Besides that, I see him probably being Jimmy’s dealer (Jimmy does copious amounts of drugs he is never not on cocaine idk what to tell u /hj). He prefers to keep out of the actual spotlight of celebrity lifestyle, and instead reap his own benefits from it in the background.

Mary. Hmmm….. I feel like she needs something that’s not like, typical spotlight celebrity. I remember a certain someone (wink wink) talking about ballerina Mary… I think that’s actually perfect. She’s a skilled and renowned ballerina, but also, I think she figure skates. And does some modeling on the side—maybe how she met Toast? I’ll have to think more on it.

DONT ASK HOW OR WHY THIS CAME INTO EXISTENCE JUST TAKE IT FROM ME OK ITS DESTROYED MY SENSE OF HUMOR AND MY LIFE HAS NOT KNOWN PEACE SINCE

A fun thing about me is that I will probably think about Antigone Funn every time I butter a slice of toast for the rest of my life.

Whatever you do, do NOT turn to your right.

Hmm,,,

Wriothesley kisses you like you're fragile. Delicate. He'd long thought feelings of love, safety, and trust as fleeting. Long ascribed to the thought that as long as he was useful, as long as he could perform his duties, that these conditional sentiments would pitter in like rare rewards. And where rewards come, so too do expectations and bartering. It's expected. He knows nothing is given freely in the Fortress of Meropide. And yet - Another kiss. Softly, gently; as though he wants to memorize the shape of your lips, the taste of your tongue, the cresting sighs and gentle, lilting lulls of his name he pulls from you with each kiss. A teasing nip to remind you of what comes later. A stark yet gentle reminder to himself that you're safe. That you're his safety. You give yourself to him freely. Unconditionally. You return every kiss with sincerity, meet each of his desires with utterances of love (or what he hopes, oh Archons, with what he hopes is love), and he's lost. Gone adrift in a sea of reverence and gratefulness. To you, always to you. And even when those gentle kisses turn to teasing bites, when murmured declarations he can't fully bring himself to believe become clothes strewn across his room, he knows. You're neither fragile nor delicate; but he'll be damned before he breaks you like he breaks everything else.

I’ve been thinking about Armand/Daniel a lot lately (as one does) and yes the whole thing is incredible but for some reason I can’t get this line out of my head: “In the midst of life they plunged”, and how perfectly it encapsulates their entire relationship. Like the IMPLICATIONS of it. Armand hadn’t actually had a life, perhaps only a semblance of it, in over 300 years, and this mortal boy gave it to him and offered him a shot at an actual existence. Full of experiences, adventures, discoveries, opportunities, romance, fighting, crying, LIVING. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Daniel giving Armand the opportunity to have a life and to reclaim his youth will never not make me feral ❤️‍🩹

Anon! It's like you're inside my head, because I, too, think about them all the time. That line though is really awesome and it does encapsulate their relationship so well. You're so right about this and you should say it.

Like, if you think about it, it's exactly true that Armand hasn't had much of a life for a long time. He spent decades with Louis, living in a shared misery. And while I fully believe they had tender moments during that period, I think it was few and far between. Armand wanted Louis to be his guide to the modern era, but Louis was too lost in his grief and pain and numbness to be that for him. When that finally ends, he spends the next decades watching over a sleeping Lestat, keeping the city free of "vermin" to protect him like a guardian who wasn't asked for.

And basically seems to be his life when Daniel crashes into Lestat's house and starts playing those tapes. He's just chilling in New Orleans, watching over the dirt where Lestat is buried, as life moves around him.

The Chase gives Armand something else to do, to focus on. He follows this young reporter boy around tormenting him and teasing him and in the process, he starts to delve into the modern era, learning about things Daniel does and places he goes and even his means of travel - accosting him on a train, in a taxi. He bails him out of jail. He orders dinner for him at a restaurant in the most unhinged way possible, but it's also the sort of thing you might do if you just want to push some of the limits around you.

And then they come together as a couple, finally, and then into the very midst of life they plunge! Armand finally has someone who will do all the things with him: parties, shows, concerts, museums, travel. Daniel has been patiently (and not so patiently) teaching him about the modern world for years already, so now they really dive in. And as you point out, they also plunge head first into a relationship, living together, existing together as a couple and figuring out what that means, and everything that entails, good and bad.

It really is Armand getting a second chance at his youth and his first opportunity in centuries to just be a guy and experience the world on the arm of this beautiful, curious, sardonic boy who loves him for what he is and who he is and is passionate and gentle, even as he can be defiant and argumentative.

It makes me feral, too. Like it's just so good. Daniel gives him the world and the love he deserves, and in the end, Armand gives him forever. And I just... love them so, so much. 😭😭💖

Thank you so much for this ask!
