This Week in BL - It’s My Birthday!

April 2023 Wk 4

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

Step By Step (Thai Tues WeTV & Gaga) ep 2 of 10 (MDL says 12, but Gaga says 10) - Baby made a friend! Yay. I hope they stay friends. Up looks so good. Also, drama with exes! Excellent. This is awful grown up for a BL, esp a pulp. I think it may be more just a gay office romance than BL, but I love it no matter what.

La Pluie (Sat iQIYI) ep 1 of 10 - I love it. Strange premise to get at the fated mates trope but it stars one of my top picks to get his own BL. Been waiting since TT2 for this boy to feature. Tai is cute. It’s good. Except the singing. But we can’t have it all.

Our Skyy 2 (Star in My Mind) eps 3-4 - Dao is THE MOST SPOILED. But clearly Kluen prefers it that way. This was cute, but frankly a little bit boring. Kluen is clearly Thai for whipped. 8/10

Future (Thai Sun YouTube & Gaga) ep 5 of 6 - they added an additional ep because, why not? It’s a soap not a story, it doesn’t matter. MOAR softness for usssss! Drama llama boys continue to be overdramatic to the point of melodramatic to the point of ludicrous-dramatic.

Pastsenger (Thai Weds Gaga) ep 8 of 12 eps - This is not as good as My Engineer but Marc makes for a much better pair with Cooper. It’s still not great but hey… and then HE PICKED UP A GUITAR. NOOOOOO!!!!!

A Boss and a Babe (Fri YouTube) ep 9 of 12 - Is that a character in a GMMTV show actually trying to communicate? Say it isn’t so! Did you notice in order to calm Cher down Gun dropped to pom to put them on a more equal footing? Sweet. Cher is a tiny idiot for taking the blame for some random other coworker. Why? Omg this show.

The Promise (Thai Weds YT & WeTV) ep 6 of 10 - So it was a real serious total kiss kiss with both very drunk. And that’s why he ran? Sigh. This show sucks. How can we root for this couple especially when the faen fatal (Boss) is THAT HOT and so sweet. (To be fair I can’t decide if I want Boss or his outfits more). Phu should just not come back, who needs him? So they really are going to just keep drawing this one premise out the whole show?

Tin Tam Jai (Tues Gaga & iQIYI) ep 9 of 10 - yawn

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Our Dining Table AKA Bokura no Shokutaku (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 4 of 10 - They are cutest EVER - charming and awkward and sweet. I love the way the state of the food is used as an illustration for the state of the emotions of the characters. The loneliness of heating up a solitary meal bought from a convenience store in the microwave. The joy of memory of shared meals. What a lovely show.

The Eighth Sense (Korea Weds Viki) eps 9-10fin - To be honest, I was dreading this one. JH is such a first-time love bebe. I liked how realistic everybody’s behavior was to the university age bracket. We even got some proper boyfriends phase which is too damn cute for words. I do not think that JW should have made up with his evil friend. I love the way JW’s shoulders relax the moment he sees JH. This was really good show...

One of the longest BLs Korea has given us and (like Blueming) it feels more atmospheric gay coming of age romance than strictly BL. It’s got a bit of an age gap, country boy/city boy, stellar acting, complex characters, and leads with good chemistry and tension. It’s a bit chewy and sticky and less perfect than most KBLs (do I detect a touch of Taiwan?). This one deployed BL tropes (messy eater, shoulder sleep, protective seme, there’s even some hyung-slinging) but front loaded them, with tons angst driving the 2nd half. This isn’t in the KBL bubble, there’s sharp edges and lots of triggers. For a BL the darkness of the content left me feeling unsettled but it did have a glorious ending and that counts for a lot. 9/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Happy Merry Ending (Korea Thurs Gaga) eps 1-2 of 8 - No shade (ha!) but I do think Leo would have been better in the role of the singer (SJ) but I’m okay with Dongwon. JH is a nice flirty bit of sunshine. SJ is clearly the most anxiety-riddled socially awkward broken baby evers. I’m not sure about this kinda angst, it’s not really my thing especially on the back of The Eighth Sense. Look, I’ve never been one for a fixer-upper. We shall see, I guess? This is the beauty of KBL, so short most of the time that it’s low commitment no matter my reservations.

My Story (Pinoy Sat YouTube) ep 3 of 10 - it’s fine I guess?

Naked Dinner AKA Zenra Meshi (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 3 of 12 - I guess the fetish matches are finding each other? How v Japan. Of course I like the conversation about names and protocols.

It’s Airing But ...

Love Syndrome (Thai Sat WeTV) stopped at ep 2 of 12 - I’m just not into any aspect of it (except Lee Long Shi and I can watch him in Tin Tem Jai) - saving to binge if the end is solid.

Venus in the Sky (Sat YouTube) pilot/tester?) 0 of 10 - not entirely sure what’s up with this one distribution-wise, but the pilot was classic university-set pulp. I hope it happens because the leads are cute with good chemsitry and I thought it was fun. However, this pilot holds together as its own little short too.

Make a Wish (Thai Weds ?) stars Fluke Natouch (OhmFluke UWMA etc...) & Judo (The Miracle Of Teddy Bear) in a medical-fantasy. About a doctor who sees ghosts and a deity who resides in a Bodhi tree that earns merits whenever he fulfills a wish, based on a y-novel by Sammon (Manner of Death, Triage). Same as above.

Stormy Honeymoon (Vietnam) - I’m tired of these characters

In Case You Missed It

Star Hunter dropped all their trailers for 2023 on their YT channel. Bit late in the year IMHO. Nothing really stuck out.

Big Dragon the movie = more of the same

True Moon = yet another loosely disguised attempt at the 2 Moons franchise?

Flirt Milk = standard pulp fodder, but they are cute

Acadex = The Eclipse + Destiny Seeker + Harry Potter 4 + The CW, as a movie that may not be BL

Sunset Vibes = Big Dragon pair as a one night stand but “uh-oh he’s my boss!” I’m game. Maybe it’ll have a better story? Maybe it will have a plot? Maybe... oh who am I kidding. It’ll be high heat and that’s about all we can hope for.

City of Stars AKA Fueangnakorn = An actor falls in love with a programmer and the narrative intends to “explore the ramifications of being public figure in the social network era who must endure critics, bullying, and defamation.” Looks like another Lovely Writer/Call It What You Want sort of thing.

The biggest shocker is how few they fielded of their original BL stable.

ALSO:

Love Senior = SOTUS but make it GL (I’m not mad about this one, it’s about flipping time. But it’s GL so I won’t track it, although I will watch it.)

Next Week Looks Like This:

Coming in May 2023:

5/1 House of Stars (Thai iQIYI) - An LGBTQ actor in love with an actor from another company, plus other wanna be stars all trapped in a doom house together.

5/4 Love Mate (Korea Viki) 8 eps- Office romance between a team leader and a new employee who agree to date for 3 months to find true love, from the makers of Our Dating Sim.

5/18 - Starstruck (Korea ????) - A boy has had a crush on his childhood friend for a long time. Stars Zuho (Kpop SF9 - noted Good Egg) opposite rookie actor Kim In Sung (as the one with the crush).

5/27 The Luminous Solution (Thai ????) 10 eps - Thana is having trouble at work and in his relationship. He can't seem to catch a break. So he makes a wish to change everything. But every wish has a price.

2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED)

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

I do like a tie (or nametag) grab kiss. (Boss & Babe)

Our Skyy 2 SIMM ep summing it all up and reviewing itself.

Future the series, I like this reverse claiming thing. So cute.

The boyfriends eps are the BEST eps. The Eighth Sense.

I WANT BOSS’S OUTFITS.

My favorite, “there is only one bed but we slept together on the floor anyway.” (The Promise)

Now that is a claim that MUST be proved.

Loves the little babies with their killer communication style.

What do I always say about a BL that reviews itself? All from Destiny Seeker. (I’m getting caught up, I’ll post a review of the series when I’m done.)

(last week)

Current Kpop earworm? UO’s Restart

pairing: yeonjun x gn!reader

genre: fluff, short f2l | drabble

warning(s): mentions of food, mentions of biting (cute aggression), a sweet kiss (no pun intended), not proof read

summary: your best friend's been so busy he forgot what day it was and you had to remind him why it's so special.

wc: 581

general taglist: @bb-eilish @iggynor4 @ericyjun @bluejin0812 @luvsoobs @yeonyeonyeonjun @junniieesbby @kyrkitten @hyuntaena @itmehc @day6andetcetera @amethysts-1620 @gorechoi @choiwrld @yjusei @feyregels @ahnneyong @potaeto-writes-on-wp @wccycc @hotboyyeonjun @lizdevorak @fairybin @laylasbunbunny @acaiasahi @fairyoftaehyun @cha0thicpisces @fairybinie @vatterie

a/n: a short something for our number 1 It Boy <3 happy yeonjun day angels! <3

"Hello sunshine!" Your voice reached the small part of the park where you saw your best friend sitting on the bench with a couple of yakult drinks, one pierced with a straw which his fingers had been fiddling with. The dark-haired male looked over his shoulder, greeting you with the softest smile and one arm shooting towards the sky, motioning you to join beside him.

You smiled at him, fingers gripping onto the tin of your homemade cookies as your gift for him. You knew he had forgotten what the occasion was, but that's why you were there. He had been working hard, spending day and night in the practice rooms until he started to lose track of time and slowly lose track of dates.

"Someone's bubbly today?" Yeonjun pinched your cheek as soon as you slid onto the seat beside him, placing down the tin onto the surface of the wooden bench. "Ooh? And these are for?"

You found him extremely endearing whenever he'd do that. You leaned back, just the littlest inch, and trap his finger between your teeth, watching him giggle at the way you caught his finger.

"Those are for you of course! How could I forget my best friend's birthday?" Lifting the lid of the tin, the aroma from the cookies tickled your noses, hearing exaggerated sniffs from him and his lips curving up into a familiar smile.

"Even I forgot my own birthday," he chuckled nervously, taking a bite from the fresh treat at the top, the other hand scratching his neck. You saw the tiredness in his eyes as he looked into the tin, observing the way some of the chocolate chips have melted over the sides of the cookies. But regardless, he always felt like he was on clouds whenever he was around you.

"Hey, look at me," you cupped his cheek, rubbing your thumb against his soft skin. "Don't beat yourself up for it. You've been working hard and it's okay, okay?"

The gaze from his deep, chocolate eyes steadied into yours. Sincerity and comfort reflecting from yours to his.

"You're always so good to me, yn." He chuckled, watching the way you tilted your head to look down at the gap between you.

"You're just as good to me, jjun. I'm forever grateful for that." You mumbled a little, but thankfully Yeonjun still managed to hear that. Nothing but butterflies erupting into somersaults and loops in his stomach.

You felt him scootch closer to you, this time, his hand reflecting yours, resting against your opposite cheek. "Because you mean so much to me. And I think I love you, just as much as I love your homemade cookies."

His pinky finger rested below your chin, slightly tilting it up as you follow the way his eyes looked into your left, down to your lip and back up to your right. "Can I kiss you?" He whispered. All you had to do was nod.

Closing in the gap, with each other's hands resting on each other's cheeks, your lips delicately collided. You could taste the milk chocolate on his lips from the bite he took a minute ago.

You sensed the way his lips smiled against yours, knowing that he finally got to kiss his best friend, his crush and can't wait to ask you to be his lover. Pulling away with a smile plastered on your lips, you swore you saw his eyes twinkle in broad daylight.

"Happy birthday, Yeonjun, love."

Fanfic Masterlist: Finished Fics:

Rating: Mature Status: FINISHED 5/9/24. Cw/Tws: heavy discussions of mental health, prices of religious trauma and sainthood. Lots of mentions of attempted assassinations by Vasily. Sexual assault mentions, smut in later chapters, graphic depictions of violence, but canon. merzost being used anti-canonically.

Ao3 Link: Masterlist

Stars 'round his wrists.

When I am King, you will be first against the wall.

Take My hand, I'll drown you with me.

But your profile could not hide the fact you knew I was approaching your throne.

The world is lying fallow and you are apart from me.

Holy Water cannot help you now.

Still, I follow the Heartlines on your hand.

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

The Cost of the Crown.

I am a world's forgotten boy.

Once More unto the Breach.

The Sun's turning Red.

Everytime I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray.

True Faith

Just our hands clasped so tight.

****

Non-Grishaverse FINISHED FIC.

Synopsis:

Atlantic City, 1921. Prohibition has come in with a bang, and the bootleggers long to profit off of people’s desire for spirits. But some of their intentions and creations come with nasty consequences. Sometimes, liquor really can kill. And for Nucky Thompson, that’s a gamble he’s willing to take. Even if federal agents are snapping at his heels, and people are dying in the streets, Atlantic City, is after all, the world’s playground.

Chapter list:

Blood stained sheets

The ivory tower

The tin soldier

A Wolf, a man, and a plan

Every little thing she does is madness.

Leave before the sun comes up

Burning for you

Death Race

The darkest hour is before the dawn

Don’t turn your back

Series: Profunda Venae - Deep veins.

Chronicling a split off of English history during the weeks after Victoria’s coronation, this series explores the What-Ifs of the English Industrial revolution and the idea of vampires being representative of the ruling class. It also dives into the ideas of class revolution, Nuclear Winter, the usage of productive power to control the narrative, and more. It is also mainly a narrative of just how dangerous controlling the reins of who tells history can truly be.

Written during the hardest years of my life, this series was created to be a distraction from the mires and misery of Neurodivergency in a common-education experience.

Book 1 is set in a world much like our own with certain shifts. Book 2 is a world that starts out similar and quickly becomes quite different. Book 3 is a world that is far in the past and far in the future all at once.

Book 1: The Lineaments of Malefaction: [Finished 2022]

Synopsis:

1838 - the house of Hanover and the United Kingdom are at last stable. Queen Victoria has taken to the throne with Lord M at her shoulder as her beloved Prime Minister. However, as always, those left in the shadows squabble and plot.

For what more of a travesty can there be than a sweet queen of 18, and a human one at that?

Wrongs must always be righted, regardless of who is in the way. Sometimes those means are more dastardly than anyone could imagine. As someone once said, family is not stronger than the blood that is spilt on the battlefield of power.

Chapter List, with dates of publication:

Pills and plans (2022-03-11)

Blood in the water (2022-03-12)

A murder of politicians (2022-03-13)

Ballrooms and bites (2022-03-13)

The Revenants of Pemberley (2022-03-17)

Lifting the veil (2022-03-17)

Burning down the castle (2022-03-28)

Shadows, the stars, and you. (2022-03-28)

Oh Noel (2022-04-02)

For the Queen (2022-04-02)

If we burn, you burn with us (2022-04-07)

recovery and revolution (2022-04-07)

Paint it black (2022-04-07)

A wedding and a honeymoon. (2022-04-07)

All that ends well (2022-04-07)

Book 2: The Evils of Darkness: [Finished 2022]

Synopsis:

1848 - the house of Kingsbridge and England have enjoyed 8 years of relative peace and quiet. Victoria and Lord M are at last united in matrimony and state, and those who opposed their rule are defeated or interred. Yet, plans always abound to take down those some see as unpopular.

For vampires aren’t fit to rule humans. Even in a place like Great Britain, wrongs must be righted, and balance must be restored.

No matter the personal cost.

Chapter List:

A bad beginning

Hold tight London

The Threads of eternity.

The War Game

When the wind blows

The Day After

Protect and survive

Operation square leg

Do no harm

Nuclear winter

Babylon

Unfinished FICS:

Book 3: Dum Pugnatur, Bellum Amittitur [ongoing - stagnant updates based on fixation]

Synopsis:

1865 - the thrones of Queen Victoria and King William are lost to the wastelands. The House of Kingsbridge is no more, and in its place, factions plot and squabble to rule the destroyed land once called England.

But that is easier said then done, for England herself is a place of ruin and starvation. For the nuclear winter that ripped the royal family apart has rolled its citizens back to the Middle Ages. But for those who have survived the hell of 1858, there is a new threat on the horizon that may blot out even 1848 - America has been at war with itself for going on 4 years, and there is whispers abounding that the Royal Family may be amongst the evacuees who fled on the steamship, the Kerberos.

All of these whispers and plans within plans make for a perfect firestorm to be set upon England's starving lower classes, for as someone once said: fealty is not stronger than the blood that is spilled on the battlefield of power.

Chapter list:

1. Now Is The Winter Of Our Discontent

2. Ravens feathers and Mozart

3. Paternoster Row

4. The Evil Genius of the Republican Party.

5. A Plea To Fate

6. Marian

Fear and Delight, or how I learned to stop worrying and wear gloves to hide my trauma. {ongoing - abandoned until new season comes out and interior worldbuilding kinks are solved}

Synopsis:

* Set During Season 2 of the Gilded Age - does not follow central plot by the beats*. Title taken from Dr Strangelove. ***** The Russell's Newport mansion could be called many things. The New York Times called it “Grandiose - a paragon of modern architecture.” The Post deemed it: “The newly-built mansion is a sign of the shifting tides of New Money upon our cities elite,”. More attention was paid to the ongoing Opera War waged by Bertha Russell and her arch nemesis, Caroline Astor. Astor had the boxes at the Academy of Music and dealt them out like generals awarding medals to soldiers who’d survived a conflict: rarely given and precious to only a few. Bertha Russell had set up the enemy camp with her Metropolitan Opera house (still undergoing building and desperately needing funds), and sought to gain some of the broken backs of the Academy’s patrons. The more soldiers - patrons - Mrs Russell could win over in advance of the Met’s opening, the better. ***** Robber Barons, The Crows, a Princess who is in America to settle an old Score, all for one very mediocre production of Faust.

Chapter list:

Washington Square

Old Money

Abstract: Set in an alternate timeline of the Grishaverse where the country of Ravka very closely resembles the Western Front of the Great War, this is a fic that sets out to explore an idea: What if First Army developed their own order of Saints, and how this affects the war effort. Part reflection on Religion, War, femininity, and social propaganda movements, part war-story Straight from the early 20th century a la the writings of Will R Bird. All angst. Characters: Nikolai Lantsov, Dominik Vertov, Olga Kylov (oc), Will R Bird, Alina Starkov, and others! Pairings: Nikolai x OC. Rating: Mature CW/TWs: War, mentions of extreme violence, universe typical prejudices, heavy discussions of religion. Later chapters go into period typical sexism of the late Victorian period, and share cases similar to that of the Red Army's female soldiers of ww2.

Chapter List. 1. Over There

hiii mason - this is transmasckagami :) do you have favorite fics for kagamido? I’d love to read some. Also, I love your art! Your style is so fun and you capture every character’s personality so well ❤️ thank u for sharing it with us!

HAII this is soso sweet and it means a lot 2 me, thank u so much !!! *(^o^)*

i could say the same for u :3 ur art is so fantastical and scrumptious and it’s always a delight to see u post !!!

in comparison to some other ships, there’s definitely a lot less content to dig through (see kagamido’s 128 fics to aokaga’s 2,890, what a ratio !), so heres my faves, in no particular order ^_^

message recieved - half_sleeping : rated T

wordcount: 7k

“You're the one who mailed me.”

lest i spoil too much, i gotta say i just LOVE how midorima is characterized in this one. just a fretting teenage boy. and, despite their limited appearances, the takamido friendship on the side is just so funny and iconic !

food is a love language - zelan : rated G

wordcount: 1k

“Midorima tries and fails to cook. Kagami turns things around.”

exactly what it says on the tin, and perfectly so ! adorable

not a surprise party - zelan : rated T

wordcount: 200

"Midorima Shintaro hates surprises."

short and sweet texting fic by the same author of the last fic, love the ending kekekeke ^3^

to my heartbeat’s sound - voices_in_my_head : rated G

wordcount: 800

"It isn’t long before one of his uproarious laughs has made its way out of his throat, Shintarou giving a slight smile in response. He doesn’t care if they go for that walk or not, if he ends up with cupcakes or something else, he’s just happy to be here, enjoying his time with Taiga."

simple and plain kagamido domesticity fluff ^v^ need u ask for more ?

to live for one's self - justlikeswitchblades : rated T

wordcount: 1k

"There are two unshakeable constants in Midorima’s life—his hands, and his pride.

A third element, threatening the latter of the two, consists of the tears burning in his eyes."

angst, internalized homophobia, emotional hurt/comfort: truly a danger trio of tags !! (x_x) a short but impactful and memorable fic that i really enjoyed, i just like how their relationship is portrayed

with me, with you - hilaryfaye : rated G

wordcount: 2.9k

“I know that your concept of ‘fun’ is warped, but unlike one of us I like being able to take regular hot showers and eating food that isn’t under a layer of grease.” Shintarou picked over his salad, frowning at it as if the vegetables were to blame for Taiga’s insistence on a “road trip.”

kagami and midorima go on a roadtrip, and end up talking about things that have remained unspoken about. a good few years into the future; another domestic one that i really enjoyed *v*

"Kagami drags Midorima to a basketball game at an American high school, which happens to have a raffle going on at the same time…with a KitchenAid mixer being the item Kagami has his eyes on."

more kagamido cooking shenanigans ! they cook and kiss, talk about their feelings and have unfortunate experiences at the grocery store. just a fun slice of life !!

sorry this took a bit; despite having an ao3 account for a good few years i haven't been utilizing the bookmarks feature until recently and have just been saving them in a google bookmarks folder. so without any way to filter or know what ship each link is... i bet you can imagine why it took so long...

thank you for this ask again, it was nice to reread about my faves ! happy reading :D

#i love to yap and talk forever #muah muah muagh i love my pookies #tbh i probably missed some because of how much is in my knb fic folder #i simply don't have the bandwidth to go through and open over 100 links again !!#knb #kurobas #kuroko no basket #kurokos basketball #kagami taiga #midorima shintarou #kagamido #midokaga #mason stop talking #been a while since that tags been used !

45 for the wip ask game?

(jaytim) the sweetness of honey, tim’s pov

what it says on the tin more or less lol; tim’s pov of the events of sweetness of honey! i have 3 and a half chapters done.

have a snippet from their first meeting <3

please forgive my brackets, lmao.

The pup’s hold on his scent loosens. The acrid scent of fear nearly drowns the rest of it out, but… Tim is able to catch a hint of something. A spiced sweetness that makes his mouth water, his fingers twitch.

“Where did you find him?” he asks.

At the sound of his voice, the boy’s shoulders loosen, his growl quieting. Perhaps it’s not related. But… Tim finds that he wants to keep talking. To see if the pup will relax further, if that fear will fade so Tim can pull him close and scent him properly.

He resists the urge—the same way he bites back a growl when [Sleazeboss] reaches over and pets the boy’s hair, proprietary and possessive.

The pup’s growl starts up again. He twitches, as if to pull away—but the guard pulls his leash tight, forcing him to stay still.

Tim curls his fists tighter.

“Crime Alley. Can you believe we caught the bitch trying to do his own bidding?”

The boy isn’t skilled enough at hiding his reactions to stop the shame from filling his expression or his scent. Tim swallows another growl. How desperate must he have been, to offer up such vulnerability? And rather than offer him safety, these men took advantage of him. Snatched him up, and now—

Now they want to offer him up to him.

“How fortunate,” he murmurs.

They won’t live long enough to regret it.

[Sleazeboss] grips the boy’s hair, roughly yanking his head back. He leans forward, rucking the boy’s shirt up to his neck. Tears glimmer in the boy’s eyes. One rolls down his cheek; shining slightly in the light.

The boy’s breasts are small. They would fit perfectly in his palms—Tim can feel to me now, soft and warm and plush in his hands.

Tim suppresses a shudder. He drags his gaze down to the boy’s navel.

A bruise, purple but fading, colors his side. Tim has had his fair share of bruises; this one looks tender and painful. It stokes the fire of his anger—and Tim lets it. Gladly embraces the feeling, if only so he doesn’t have to think about the way his mouth waters, his fingers itch, the way he wants to kiss the boy’s tears away.

[Sleazeboss] cups one of his breasts. His grip is none-too-gentle, and the boy flinches—the guard keeps him still.

“As you can see, he’s still quite… underdeveloped.” [Sleazeboss]’s tone makes Tim feel dirty—like he needs a very long, a very hot shower. “With him being so close to presentation, we haven’t had time to train him up yet, but—” Tim makes himself look away, look at the man and his wide, terrible grin, “—you strike me as a man who enjoys getting to take a bitch down a peg or two, am I right?”

Tim resists a snort.

Not in the way [Sleazeboss] thinks.

[Sleazeboss] lets go of the boy, his shirt falling back to cover his torso. The boy slumps forward. His shoulders shake. More tears roll down his face; his sobs silent, but no less heart wrenching.

Tim can’t stop himself from reaching out this time. Two fingers, curving under his jaw, tipping his head back. The boy’s eyes open, meeting his through a glassy sheen of tears. His lashes flutter. And then—

He leans into Tim’s touch.

Tim’s breath catches. There’s something—pleading in his eyes. Tim is helpless to resist it. He slips his fingers lower, hooking them into the collar. He doesn’t even have to tug. The boy moves, climbing onto the couch cushion beside him. The guard passes Tim his leash as he does. He holds it loosely.

Tim guides his head back, exposing his delicate, slender throat. The collar blocks his scent glands, but—it’s no matter. He tucks his nose right at the edge of it, the tip brushing the boy’s skin.

Spicy-sweet, like cloves and honey, and still a bit milky. A pup, but not quite as young as he looks.

Tim breathes in deeply, savoring it. It’s…

He yearns, almost too much to hate himself for it. The boy shudders, a soft noise leaving his mouth, muffled by the muzzle. His scent— Some of the terror is edged away, by something Tim cannot quite place.

He pulls back, letting the boy’s head fall back where it was. His expression is—dazed, almost, like Tim had licked him, and not just scented.

It’s… cute. Sweet.

Tim wants to do it again.

“Well, would you look at that.” [Sleazeboss]’s voice drips with something smug and excited that makes Tim want to snarl. “He’s given my men nothing but trouble, and now he’s docile as a lamb. You’ve a master’s touch.”

Ugh. Tim’s desire for a shower grows stronger. He reluctantly turns to the omega to look at him coolly. “I find,” he says with a hum, “when it comes to omegas, they simply have to be handled the right way.”

Like they’re people, preferably.

2022 BL ROUNDUP PART 5

Hey y'all, I've seen everyone doing their top 22, 20, 15, 10, and 5 BLs of the year and I didn't want to do a ranking! I just want to do a quick rundown of everything I watched and how I feel about it now! This is gonna be multiple posts! But I'll post them all at the same time.

LAST PART

Thai BLs I watched in 2022 that I loved

KinnPorsche the Series. Saved my summer! It was the most exciting series I've watched all year. Toxic ships never sailed so well and so far. I loved the action, the drama, the lies, the deceit, the mystery, and the raunchiness. 10/10. BUT I DON'T WANT S2 IF THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE WRITERS OF THE NOVEL! THAT AMAZING CAST DESERVES THE WORLD!

Love in the Air. PAYURAIN FTW. PRAPAISKY FTW! I'm still thinking about my boys to this day. I loved our little weather boys. I loved both couples a lot, PayuRain a bit more. I love how different both storylines were and how they tied together. The chemistry between both pairs was *chef's kiss* we were given such an amazing cast. I hope to get more FortPeat and BossNoeul in 2022.

Secret Crush on You. A mess of a series and yet so well written. I think next to Not Me and the Eclipse, it was the most socially relevant series I've watched this year. They focused on a lot of real life issues that not only queer people deal with but also young people. The amount of green flag characters in this one series was astounding. If you can get past how over the top Toh was in ep 1 then the rest of the series is a treat.

Triage. Oh my gawd. What an exciting series. It's the BL version of the Butterfly Effect. I didn't think they would be able to properly showcase Tin and Tol falling in love because of the small amount of time covered in the actual time loops but gotdamn they did that. It was such a great watch, had me on the edge of my seat til the very end. Also I was not expecting a TaeTee series after OG 2moons played us.

My Ride. It was just a wholesome series. Both mains were just literally great people and green flags all around. It was a sweet strangers to friends to lovers series. The slow burn was good. Hated that Tawan had to deal with a cheating boyfriend but Mork was there for him. Loved Mork's uncles, they gave the BEST advice and Mork's moped friends were hilarious. Wish the one guy had a storyline with the Trans woman instead of the actual side couple we got. ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT MORK DECIDING TO GO GET HIS DEGREE TO OPEN HIS OWN GARAGE AT THE END OF THE SERIES?????

Ghost Host Ghost House. Wasn't expecting to love it so much. Loved the ghost storylines. That family had me CRYING! ESPCIALLY SEE NAM! I WANTED HER TO BE HAPPY WITH PRIM! PRIM LOST SO MUCH! Kevin and Pleum were perfection. Their chemistry was insane and it was clear they vibed the second they met. My friend and I had a discussion about why we think they waited 3 years to reunite and was it necessary. I honestly think they both needed that time to grow, they were both just out of highschool and dealing with death and trying to figure out life. They needed to grow up and let's be real their glow-ups were amazing.

Big Dragon. Was never expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Yai did annoy me a bit because he was a brat, but he was so cute. I loved Mangkorn a lot. I loved that all of Yai's plans backfired and how his biggest enemy turned into the love of his life. Mangkorn on the other hand was just waiting for the right moment to prove himself to be the best choice for Yai because he was in love with him from the beginning. I'M PRAYING S2 IS NOT ABOUT CHEATING AND JEALOUSY!

Honorable Mentions because they're still ongoing:

Between Us. WINTEAM FTW. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND HAVE BEEN WAITING 3 YRS FOR THEM. THE SERIES HAS BEEN DELIVERING FOR ME AND I AM SO THANKFUL FOR IT. 10/10.

Gap the Series. Not a BL but a GL. Sam and Mon are clearly vibing but Mon thinks she's still idolizing Sam and can't tell she's falling in love. Sam has an overbearing granny and an appointed male finace who she can't stand because he's male. I'm hoping TeeYuki is still a thing because I want them too.

#thai bl #kinnporsche #kinnporsche the series #love in the air #love in the air the series #ghost host ghost house #between us #between us the series #gap the series #big dragon #big dragon the series #my ride #my ride the series #triage #triage the series #scoy #secret crush on you #secret crush on you the series

word find tag

@winterandwords tagged me to find blood, blue, blow, and black in my draft - thank you! go check out their snippets here if you want some brilliant imagery in your day (which you do).

sending no pressure tags to @space-writes, @snooeycatwrites, @bluberimufim, @nettleandthorne, @authoralexharvey, and an open tag for anyone else who wants to search their WIPs for drown, sunlight, bone, and bright.

now, time to search drafts 2 and 3 of Dead Roots, Dark Water for those words:

blood

Samos had once said that Jak's mind was a riptide: calm on the surface, with churning chaos fit to drown a man beneath. It hadn't been a compliment; sages were meant to be calm to their core, dispassionate and serene. He tried to summon some of that ocean current, to wash over his brain and cool his blood. Keira didn't need to cool her mind; it wasn't a fire, or an undertow. It was a prism, catching thoughts and inspiration like rays of sunlight and refracting them into rainbows.

blue

Daxter hauled himself up to the second roof, above the loft. Thatching fibers crunched beneath his feet, musty sweetness on the ocean breeze. The ocean. It stretched out before him, going for miles and millennia until blue water met blue sky in an infinite horizon, broken only by the misshapen shadow of Misty Island in the distance. His breath hitched and he blinked the stinging sunlight from his eyes. Was this why Jak was always climbing things? Because he wanted to see until forever?

blow

“Here’s what you’ll do.” Daxter’s voice, cold and sharp as a razor, cut Jak to the bone. “You’ll go back to Krew. You’ll tell him that Brutter’s cred line is closed. If you or any of Krew’s boys try and fuck with Brutter again, you’ll be beggin’ to die as quick as the guards on that slave transport.” He nodded to Jak. With one final squeeze, Jak released Hob and got to his feet. He watched every move as Hob staggered up and brushed himself off. Hob eyed the pile of his belongings on the floor. His mask, hanging limp around his neck, did nothing to hide his stubbled scowl. He tore his gaze away. “Krew don’t take kindly to bein’ double-crossed, Brutter.” “Krew can kindly blow it out his ear.”

black

Jak dragged the coffee tin across the table and sank his fingers into the soil. Sweet, earthy air wafted up from the pot as the soft, wet dirt packed under his claws up to the nailbed. A thrill ran down his spine and bubbling, bright rightness filled his chest, suffused his body until he was nearly vibrating with it. Daxter squawked something about dirt and carpets but it didn’t matter. Nothing mattered, not the chirping in his head or how much effort it took to move his prosthetic. As he lifted the plant from the pot and inspected its root system — no fewer than a third of the fern’s rhizomes harbored black root rot at the tips — he hummed contentment. A piece slotted back into place — a piece he hadn’t even realized he was missing — as though it had never left at all.

your best friend

pairing: fem!reader x eddie munson

summary: when you’re best friend comes to hangout, a lot more ends up happening…

warnings: SMUT, swearing, weed, degradation, crying, piv sex, unprotected sex, cumming inside you. i think that’s all, but tell me if i missed any

a/n: trying my hand at a smut story! if this goes well i may write a steddiexreader soon…i love steddie threesomes…anyways, enjoy! (as always leave requests and constructive criticism!)<3

god, you don’t know what it is about him, but goddamn, does he make you throb. maybe it’s his hands, or the way he carries himself. maybe it’s how he’s sweet with everyone, but especially nice to you. you didn’t know, but you did know that you had the hots for eddie “the freak” munson.

to your luck, you and him were actually really close friends. you hung out almost everyday and could never get tired of each other. this friendship definitely didn’t help your crush, but you didn’t really mind. you just wanted to be close to him.

your sitting in your room, reading a book as you wait for eddie to arrive. he’s supposed to come over today just to chill and smoke.

the book your reading begins to get boring, so you let your mind wander. you think about all the things eddie could do to you. you think about how he could finger you and eat your pussy. you so desperately want him to fuck you. you get lost in dirty thoughts, when a knock on your bedroom door brings you back to reality. “come in!” you yell, a little flustered. eddie opens the door, carrying his black tin box.

“ello, y/n. how are you on this fine day?” he’s such a fucking dork. but hey, you’re the one who likes him.

“shut up, and roll a goddamn joint.” his eyes widen in a sarcastic way.

“i’ll never get tired of your bossy little attitude” jesus, does he do this shit on purpose? does he say shit like that because he knows it makes you hot and bothered?

he sits down at your desk and unlatches his box. as he opens it, the smell of weed rolls out and into your room. you get up to open a window and as you do, you feel his eyes on you. you feel him eyeing your thighs in your tiny little shorts. you’re caught off guard, but pretend not to notice.

“you gonna put on some music, or are we just gonna sit here in silence?” he says, focusing on rolling you a joint.

“shut up, bitch boy” he chuckles at the name and gives you an unimpressed look. you walk over to your stereo and look through your tapes. eventually, you find one that works and throw it into the radio. you turn it up just enough for it be background noise.

“here you are, m’lady. a perfectly rolled joint, by yours truly.” eddie holds up the joint with a proud and mocking smile. he pulls a lighter out of his jeans and lights the end. you run over to steal the first hit, but his lips are already around the filter. you scoff and sit on the floor. he follows suit and sits next to you, leaning against the wall. instead of exhaling, he lets the smoke slowly pour out of his mouth with his head leaned back. he does this all the time, and you find it incredibly attractive. you can feel a pool forming between your legs.

“oh my fucking god, just give it to me already” “hey hey, i like to take my time.” he slowly hands it to you and you’re quickly taking a long hit. your chest expands as the taste of weed fills your mouth. you exhale slowly. eddie watches you the whole time.

“bro, why do you keep staring at me?” you say chuckling, and handing him the joint.

“you look sexy as hell when you smoke.” you freeze. did he really just say that to you? did he seriously just call you sexy?

“i’m sorry…what?” you’re caught off guard and eddie knows it. he even enjoys it.

“you’re sexy, y/n. sexy as hell” he says before taking another slow hit. “and don’t think i don’t know that you feel the same about me. i notice how you get all hot and bothered whenever i call you something other than your name. i see how wet you get when i rub my hands through my hair. i see it all, y/n.”

“eddie…i-“ you honestly don’t know what to say. i mean, everything he said is completely right, but maybe he’s just saying all this shit to bother you some more. there’s no way in hell he feels the same about you. “i couldn’t even tell you noticed those things. i’m sorry, there’s just something about you.”

“don’t be sorry sweetie, i fantasize about you too. i think about you spreading those legs to let me see that sweet little pussy. i think about you riding my dick. i think about it all, y/n.” he’s handing the joint back to you, but you’re frozen.

“eddie-“ he cuts you off by kissing you. his lips are on yours and it’s better than you imagined. you part your lips to let his tongue explore your mouth. he pulls away, leaving you feeling empty.

“go lay on the bed, i want to fuck you.” he says, getting to his feet. you jump up and run to the bed. you’re so excited for what’s about to happen next. he stubs out the joint and walks to the foot of the bed. he kicks off his shoes and removes his jacket. the anticipation is making you more wet than ever. it’s hard to resist the urge to touch your pussy.

“listen, y/n, and listen well. i want you to become my little fucktoy. i want you to be an obedient little slut for me, alright? can you do that for me?” you nod, the excitement making you giddy. you’ve always imagined this, and this is exactly how you imagined him to be. you want him to be your dominant top, and you his toy to do whatever he wants to.

“words, doll, use your words.” “yes sir, yes i’ll be obedient.” a devilish smile spreads across his face.

he sits beside you on the bed and slowly drags his hand up your leg. he starts at your ankle and stops where your shorts end. you shiver at his touch. his hands go up to your face, cupping it. he leans in for a kiss and you melt into it. it’s hot and passionate. you whine into his mouth, which releases a groan from his throat. the pool in your panties is getting bigger.

“alright, sweet thing, let’s see what i’m working with” his hands travel under your shirt, lifting it over your head. he marvels at your beautiful breasts.

“oh my god, why have you hidden these from me for so long?” he says as he leans down to press kisses to your exposed skin. he kisses you entire chest and then envelopes your nipple in his mouth. he sucks the hardening bud and then softly licks it. you let out a breathy moan. his mouth leaves your nipple and you whine.

“don’t be so needy, sweetheart, i want to take my time with you.” he kisses down your stomach, until he’s met with the waistband of your shorts.

“can i take these off?” he says, looking up at you for approval. you nod, excitedly.

“princess, what did i just say about using your words?”

“i’m sorry, yes please take them off daddy.”

“aw, you wanna call me daddy now?” his eyebrows are raised at you.

“yes, i really really do”

“fine by me, sweetheart”

he pulls of your shorts and throws them to the ground. he continues kissing down your stomach and when he reaches your panties, he kisses them too. he lays soft kisses to your thighs, throwing in bites between kisses.

“do you think i should see that pretty pussy now? or should i tease you a bit longer?”

“no, no please touch me daddy. please please touch me” your panties are soaked at this point and you’re looking for any kind of friction.

“my sweet girl is so desperate for my touch. i think i’ll tease you just a bit longer.” you kick your legs and whine. “don’t get too bratty, or i won’t touch you at all. remember, i’m in control here”

he’s kissing up your thighs again and stops when his face is right in front of your panties. he hovers a finger over you and you’re going crazy with arousal. you push your hips up, chasing his hand.

“darling, stop being so fucking needy. i swear to god i will leave right now if you don’t start being good.” his tone is stern and dark. “i’m sorry, i just want to feel you on my pussy. daddy please.” you’re a pathetic whining mess.

he literally rips off your underwear and flicks your clit. you moan loudly, you didn’t expect his touch. he slowly rubs circles into your clit.

“look at you baby, wet and moaning for me. you’re so cute.” he then plunges two fingers into you, which makes you scream out. you grind against his fingers, but he holds your hips in place.

“oh god, you’re so fucking wet. you’re making such a mess baby.”

“daddy, please eat me out. i need your tongue.”

“this one time, i’ll grant your wish.” he pulls his fingers out and quickly connects his mouth with your clit. his licks and sucks it as you become a mess. you’re whining and moaning for him as he works his magic.

“oh my god, just like that, yes.” you arch your back as the pleasure becomes unbearable. you can feel you’re going to cum soon, a little embarrassed by how fast he can make you come undone.

“oh shit, i’m gonna cum, can i please cum on your face?” he groans against your pussy, sending vibrations through your body.

“cum on my tongue baby, c’mon cum for me”

with that, you let yourself go. you let out a string of moans and daddy and eddie. you breath heavily as eddie keeps going.

“attagirl, baby. look what you did to my face” he comes up with his mouth and chin covered in your slick. you blush and cover your face.

“oh you didn’t think i was done, did you? oh baby, i’m just getting started. don’t think of running now” he removes his shirt and jeans. you can see the bulge and instantly get wet again. you want him inside you.

“do you want me to fuck you baby?” he says as he flips you over.

“yes daddy” you plead as he plays with your ass. he leans down to your ear.

“then fucking beg for it” he breaths into you ear.

“please daddy, i need your dick. please give me your dick. i can take it all and i’ll be good.” you plead with him and he rubs your ass and thighs.

before you can say anything else, he shoves his entire cock inside you. you scream as he lets out a long groan. he pulls you up by your hips so your ass is in the air. he pounds into you and you bury your face into the pillow to muffle your moans.

he grabs you by the hair and says, “don’t hide now baby, let me hear those beautiful noises you make. he lets go and grabs both your wrists in one hand, placing them behind your back.

you prop you head up and start to cry. tears run down your cheeks from sheer pleasure. eddie is ruining you with his dick and he loves it. he slaps your ass just to watch it jiggle. he loves the sounds you make as your pussy clenches around him.

“oh god baby, you’re so tight. so tight and wet for me. such a good little girl.” he praises you as his thrusts get sloppier. you feel yourself getting ready to cum again and you can tell he’s close too.

“i’m gonna cum, oh god eddie, i’m gonna cum!” your eyes squeeze shut as your orgasm washes over you. you moan and scream as you cum around eddie’s dick. he’s still pounding into you, chasing his own release.

“you’re doing so good baby, just make me cum. come one hun, i know you can keep going” he feels you clench around him when he praises you and the hug your pussy gives him makes him cum into you. you feel his hot seed leaking into you as his moans fill the room.

he pulls out and falls on the bed next to you. he catches his breath and then looks over to you. you’re laying on the bed, still crying while curled up in a ball.

“hey, hey baby, is something wrong? was that too much for you?” you shake your head, “no, i loved every second of it, i’m just tired. so so tired.” a sleepy smile spreads across your face. he smiles back.

“well, let’s get you cleaned up and dressed and then we can take a nap, okay?” he says, standing up.

before you can reply, he lifts you up bridal style and carries you to the connecting bathroom. he sets you on the counter and starts a bath. once the bath is filled up, he lifts you up again and carefully sets you into the bath. he slips in behind you and wraps his arms around you.

“y/n, i want you to be mine.”

“then i’m all yours.” you cant believe this is happening. he leans down and plants kisses to your neck and face.

when the water starts turning cold, he steps out and then lifts you out. he walks you into the room and sets you on the bed. he walks to the closet and grabs you some pajamas. he carefully dresses you and then slides his boxers and shirt back on.

you lay down and put the blanket over you. he climbs in next to you, his body enveloping yours. you could stay here, just like this, forever.

10 Great Slow Burn BLs

I was asked about great chemistry, slow burn, with lots of pining and yearning, and an HEA (of course). For slow burn there will be less high heat due to the style of narrative, so I am going with actor chemistry, as well as emotional and mental resonance, not necessarily physical chemistry. (Something like Bed Friends could be argued is high heat slow burn... which would be what? A rolling boil?)

Honestly, slow burn is pretty relative, so I'm going with romance pacing puts the kiss and togetherness at the back 1/3 (if not the very last episode). Rather than at the "normal" 2/3.

1. Light On Me (Korea 2021 Viki)

Korea does an elegant pastiche of traditional live action yaoi but all filming is cleverly deployed to bolster one of the most riveting love triangles ever put on screen… and I don’t like love triangles. The high school angst is strong with this one and it's certainly slow burn and there is some EPIC yearning drawn out over a longer than usual KBL. Full review.

2. My School President (Thai 2023 YouTube)

GMMTV gave us a classic high school set Thai BL with tropes like messy boys singing their feelings that made this one Love Sick for the modern age with all the gentle sweetness and pining ache, but none of the dated damaging tropes or issues. Yes, we’ve seen it all before, but I still ADORE this. And there is a lot to be said for the classics being executed perfectly. Who let my BL be this wholesome and funny? Possibly too slow burn for some, we wait many eps for that pay out, and Tin's pining is NOT quiet, but it defined dorky and earnest.

3. Old Fashion Cupcake (Japan 2022 Viki)

It's hard to call such a short show slow burn, but it is. There are many episodes spent watching Togawa just HUNGER for Nozue and try to court him by feeding. This is about a younger man with a long cherished crush on his boss (ten years older and going through a mid life crisis) who decides to save and seduce said boss with pancakes. It’s wholesome, comforting, sexy, and a very necessary narrative about still having hope, interests, and openness to affection at any age. It’s a stunningly filmed late-in-life coming of age/queerness story packaged in a subtle critique of expectations around masculinity, love, and loneliness… and it’s beautiful. Full review.

4. My Ride (Thai 2022 Gaga)

Thai BL grew up with this pulp (the first ever to make my end of year top 10). It’s a truly lovely and special little show featuring the extremely rare pairing of sunshine/sunshine (AKA a cinnamon roll couple) plus mature explorations of relationships using one of the softest, sweetest and most innocent friends to lovers vehicles. Kindly, overworked doctor meets broken-hearted motorcycle taxi driver in an “other side of the tracks” slow burn romance. Even though we see them meet, we also see one of them fall in love, step back, and PINE for olympic gold. With honest queer rep that adds to, but doesn’t impede, the story, and genuine conversation about the nature of class, wealth, and classism, not to mention communication, honesty, and respect for boundaries, you can’t go wrong with this show. Full review.

5. Cherry Magic (Japan 2020 fan sub)

AKA 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard AKA 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii AKA Cheri Maho

The sweetest fluffiest magical realism BL, packaged as a pinning office romance, very low heat (practically chaste) but the cutest. It’s truly great. Don't expect kisses tho.

6. Wish You: Your Melody in My Heart (Korea 2020 Viki)

Set in the music industry featuring a talented singer and the pianist who falls in love with him (and his music), subtle and achingly adorable. High production, low heat, short run, very tame, and Korea, so all the pretty. Slow burn and lots of pining.

7. About Youth (Taiwan 2022 Gaga)

A truly lovely little coming of age high school BL with a classic YA low drama but high angst and an earnest depth. I didn’t even mind the singing, and that’s saying a lot. A weak seme/uke dynamic but tons of BL tropes (both rare in a high school setting but common for Taiwan) makes this one feel both sweet and colored by an almost real world authenticity and grit. Full review here.

8. The Tasty Florida (Korea 2021 Viki)

Another one where it's hard to describe as slow burn because it's so short, but there is certainly that feel and it's def got the pining. Not really a love triangle featuring the prettiest men ever to be grouped together outside of K-pop, honestly the visuals are ridiculous, there’s a story, it has to do with food, whatever, they so pretty.

9. See You After Quarantine? (Taiwan 2021 Viki)

This under appreciated gem is Taiwan’s answer to Gameboys and is just as charming and adorable yet still as quintessentially Taiwanese as one might hope. It features a Japanese love interest and the cutest most confused disaster gay. Slow burn because the two have almost no actual screen time together and yet manage some truly amazing chemistry. How does Taiwan do it?

10. Restart After Come Back Home (Japan 2020 Gaga)

AKA Risutato wa tadaima no ato de

Atmospheric study in rural Japan meets complex family dynamics built on a romance framework of city boy meets country boy, grumpy/sunshine. It’s beautiful and icy sweet. Slow moving in places but ultimately worth the patience, low heat, low angst, and stunning. Full review here.

2nd part of the question:

Who does it best? Shows, actors, countries?

COUNTRIES

I have said it before and I will say it again, no one does thirst like Japan. I think however, Korea is also very good at pining and yearning. So for "countries" those would be my top picks. But most BL producers have some examples, it's just that Thailand, Taiwan, and the Philippines tend to pay out the yearning more quickly (see something like 2 Moons Ambassador for an example of this kind of pacing).

Japan and Korea will make you wait for it. For Thailand you usually have to rely on the high school stuff. 21 Days Theory and Love Sick are both also slow burn.

ACTORS (characters)

I do have a post about great piners, several in fact.

(from @crowie ask)

These top 10 picks are based on my personal definition of slow burn and pining, yours may differ.

Post updated June 2023 and only contains BL that has completed its run. Not responsible for epic pining or fab slow burn BL that comes after that date.

Please feel free to comment or repost with additions! Share the love... slow though it may be.

So once again Tim Cain's recipe for chocolate chip muffins, as hidden in Stonekeep, is making the rounds:

I was looking at it going, that's a fine looking recipe, but unfortunately, I don't like chocolate with pumpkin. I also don't keep ground cloves, because why would I, and I don't have muffin tins, and-

And at some point this recipe became my tribute to modding? Because modding games is much like modding baking recipes, because you can only change what you can change. It's very easy to omit inclusions like chips, nuts, and dried fruit; omitting egg is a much harder calculation. If you change the wrong thing, it'll just break. So, I haven't changed anything here that's structural- the fats, the ratios, the moisture- but I have made it as it suited me.

No Chips + QOL Mod for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

Follow everything above, with these modifications:

Omit chocolate chips

Sub brown sugar for white sugar

Add 1/4 tsp ground ginger

For 1/4 tsp cloves, sub 7-8 whole cloves. Drop into melted butter, infuse, then strain out before adding to egg mixture.

Use 2-3 small greased loaf tins in place of muffin tins

Bake 30-40 minutes.

And honestly, I think changes or no, it would have been a success. Look at these bad boys:

It baked up dense, with a great texture, and it's not too sweet. A++ would recommend

March 1986

It had been a long day of shelving books left astray from young students making sure they had read everything needed for the semester. A sigh of relief left your lips once walking through the entrance of your home sweet home. It was a cozy trailer littered with Jane Austen and Emily Dickinson on each table surface. Your black cat Bennett let out a loud yawn when he realized his owner was finally home. It wasn't much, but it felt like a lot after a 6-hour shift. Putting your bags down and changing into a pair of sweatpants and a white tank top, you made your way outside. You climbed on top of the roof and took out a joint that was gifted by Eddie Munson earlier in the week.

Forest Hills trailer park had been your home for as long as you could remember. With a father on the run from the law and a mother in rehab you fit in just fine, and the rent wasn't too bad. Your favorite place was the roof where each star and trailer home was visible. Lighting up the joint and stretching your legs out with a smile you settled by turning on an old walkman and letting the songs of Fleetwood Mac soothe all your aches and worries away. From the trailer's tin roof, it was easy to see your neighbors and often it was easy to get lost in what everyday life must be for each person who lived there. Max Mayfield lives right next door so every night you would make sure that the young girl was safe at home. The two of you had become close after she moved in. You both bonded over parents never being fully there even when they were around and how the world just felt so judgmental. It took some time for the young redhead to warm up to you, it was only after she found out that her older brother was dead and her stepfather left that the two of you began to easily bond. The two of you would talk about everything and it was only in those moments you felt truly loved. You'd often told Max that she was just like Elizabeth Bennett, a brave young woman who knew exactly what she wanted.

Turning your head to the side, a smirk grew on your lips while watching Eddie Munson leave his car with Chrissy Cunningham by his side. You graduated last year, the same year Eddie should’ve. Your introduction to the boy was when he found you reading behind Hawkins High. The day he became your friend, he also became your pot dealer. Chrissy was a cheerleader so the two of you had never really crossed paths. With a raised eyebrow you smirked and went back to looking at the stars with feet bouncing to the rhythm of “The Chain”. The song was almost over when his trailer lights began to flicker. Pausing the walkman you looked over to finally hear the panicked shouts that must’ve been happening for a minute or so. Shortly after it all stopped, Eddie shot out of the trailer and got into his car before you could even shout over to ask him what was wrong.

You made your way down back to the ground and walked slowly over to his trailer. Dread washed over your whole body. It filled your stomach and the feeling caused your head to hurt. With just a little push, the door opened and there lay a once happy cheerleader her face now contorted. Gasping you felt bile begin to rise from the depths of your stomach. The sight caused you to run out of the trailer, throwing up now the only option after what had just been witnessed. You knew what Chrissy had looked like...she was a beautiful girl who had a lovely smile, but the image of her lying on that carpet would haunt you forever. Running back to your trailer you weren’t sure what to do next. The cops were bastards and you smelt of weed. Those pigs would blame Eddie for all of this, but the idea of leaving her there made you feel queasy.

It took until morning for cops to surround the Munson trailer, the sight made you feel guilty. Deep down you knew Eddie couldn't have done any of this. He could barely hurt anyone and honestly didn’t have the strength to do such a thing. Hawkins was a dark place that was filled with weird lore as to why it had become that way. As the day wore on, the cops made sure no one was able to leave or enter the trailer park. They had asked you some questions, all of them answered vaguely. Something else was going on here and until you knew what it was, there was no way you were telling the cops anything. Throughout the morning you tried your best to get some rest but every time you closed your eyes visions of Chrissy's body would flash in horrible waves. So instead, you sat in front of the window with a cup of now cold coffee. Trying to figure out what the hell had gone on here and why a girl was dead.

A few hours later, you heard Max leave her trailer, in a rush you decided now was the time to get answers. Where was she going? Wasn't she friends with the group of kids who made their way out of the StarCourt Mall fire? Your mind filled with questions as you followed Max to what appeared to be a Family Video. She had now joined forces with who you assumed was Dustin, someone you had only heard about in passing. Max had once mentioned a curly haired boy who could talk for hours about the smallest topic. You waited for them to enter the video store. You took a deep breath and reminded yourself that you needed some answers for the awful things you witnessed last night. After a few more deep breathing exercises you finally felt calm enough to enter the store. Your hands flexed as you saw Max talking to Robin Buckely, a girl that you had met in band class years ago. As you walked forward Steve Harrington had walked in from the back room causing you to take a step back.

Steve Harrington was last in your presence at graduation last year. He had been sulking as other students talked to their parents. That was the day you seemed to get a little more, why he was such a jerk to be around, because his parents hadn’t shown up. From experience you knew how awful this type of let down felt, so you walked up to him and said congratulations and got no reply. When Steve finally saw you he also had taken a step back. Robin had noticed the way you two were looking at each other making a face that snapped you back to reality.

"Max Mayfield, what is going on?" Your voice was stern but Max also noticed a weird sadness behind it all. She twirled around on the ball of her heels before finally facing you with wide eyes.

"Y/N! What are you doing here?" Her brows furrowed as she began to piece some of it together. "Wait, did you follow me here?!"

You couldn't look at her directly when she said that so instead you gave her a signal as if you needed to speak with her and only her. Max almost groaned in response until she saw the way you looked at her. You were terrified and she didn’t understand until you explained what you saw. This confession caused Max to tell you everything about weird ol’ Hawkins. Will Byers was actually taken, and the Russian infiltrated StarCourt Mall to open a portal, all of it, it made you feel dizzy and sick. You wanted to yell that you were right the whole time but the lack of sleep added with a rush of information caused your whole body to go limp.

This whole day was supposed to be normal for Steve Harrington, but, of course, it was nothing of the sort. The store had been so quiet before Max and Dustin showed up to explain why Eddie Munson was wanted for murdering a cheerleader. Then you walked in and he felt like he had seen you somewhere before but couldn’t place it. He scanned your face trying so hard to figure out who you were and why your name was on the back of his tongue. Then his co-worker elbowed him in the chest trying to get his focus back. Steve gave Robin a glare and it wasn’t until you had left to speak with Max that she spoke.

"Are you okay over there?" Robin's tone was hushed as she gave Steve a look with her furrowed brows.

“You know Y/N, she graduated last year, just like you.” He looked at Robin and then back at you and it finally hit him. You were the only person who spoke to him at graduation. He had been in such a terrible mood that day, his parents were supposed to be there but they had some last minute function. But you, you had been there and congratulated him despite no one else doing so. He began to feel warm and embarrassed, watching as you placed a hand on your hip as you spoke to Max.

“Shit!” Steve whispered, causing Robin to tilt her head.

“Dingus! You are doing that thing again where you are not actually speaking out loud just in your head! What is going on?”

Steve gave her a sad look and ran his fingers through his hair. As he placed his elbows on the glass counter he explained. “Graduation day she came up to me and was really nice about it.” He paused and sighed. “I didn’t reply the way I wished I had, my parents said they were going to be there and they just didn't show up. I was such an ass, Robin.”

Robin gave Steve a tiny pat on the back before turning to look in your direction. Whatever Max was telling you, it was a little too much and her eyes widened when she noticed you were about to fall. "Well, you could try and make it up to her by making sure she doesn’t land on the nasty carpet." Her eyebrows raised as she pointed to you and Steve quickly ran over to your side.

It was embarrassing the state you were in, lying there in Steve Harrington's arms. It did feel nice to be in such strong arms but you wished the circumstances had been better. "Uhh, thanks.." Max was holding in a snicker watching you in this position. She wasn't sure if it was due to Steve looking at you like you had hung the moon, or that he had run so fast to catch you. Either way, the young girl knew she was going to tease you about this later.

"You're welcome, Y/N? Right?" You nodded and smiled before getting back up on your feet to look at both Max and Steve.

"So let me see if I can get this straight." Your hands were now on your hips in a mom-like fashion as you eyed everyone in the room. "Will and Barb never went missing? They were both taken? I am guessing Barb didn't make it and Will did. The Starcourt mall was invaded by Russians who were trying to open some portal that someone named El already closed?" Each of them nodded their heads and it filled you with an awful feeling, you felt this before entering Eddie's trailer. "Okay…" You paused, rubbing your temples. "So whatever it is, it's back because I know Eddie didn't kill Chrissy. He could barely hurt a fly and also he had a huge crush on that girl."

"Exactly! Y/N gets it! I told you Eddie didn't do it!" Dustin was now pointing at Robin and Max who were now rolling their eyes.

Steve was still just looking at you with kind honey eyes that made your knees feel weak, or was it the lack of sleep? Everytime he looked at you he couldn’t help but feel guilty for the way he spoke to you last. This wasn’t the time to be thinking of any of this but when it got quiet it would rattle his brain.

"We have to find Eddie, that's why we came here. We need to see if there is any word of where he could've gone." Max was walking back up to Robin, swiftly making her way to the computer that was behind them all.

"I know where he is." All of a sudden everyone was staring at you. "He's with his drug dealer. Uh, Refer Rick is the name! I mean it's secluded and unless you were buying drugs it’s not a place many go." "Do you buy drugs off Eddie?" Max looked at you with her eyebrows furrowed causing you to shrug.

"I buy weed off him, that’s all…" You corrected with a big smile towards the redhead who was now judging your life choices. "Hey don't look at me like that!" This wasn't the time to scold you for smoking weed, Max would find time to do that when this was all over.

"Whatever, we just need to find the address! Maybe look up movies that only a stoner would rent!" Dustin was now at the computer shoving Max out the way. Max had been right; he was very impatient and a little jittery. She rolled her eyes and stood back as the boy began to type feverishly. "Here! Look at these! It has to be him!"

The older kids giggled at the titles being read out by the curly-haired boy who was easily annoyed with the reaction. Dustin and Max grabbed their bags and began to walk outside. Robin soon followed which left Steve and you alone as he closed up. Watching as you began to make your way, Steve had decided it was now or never. So he called your name causing you to look at him confused.

The two of you stood there just staring at each other. He wanted so badly to apologize but the words just wouldn’t come out. Since Robin wasn’t there to give him a nudge back to reality you decided to speak up first.

"So since when does Steve Harrington hang out with kids like Dustin and Max? Or even Robin, you would've never talked to her in school." You looked at him confused and he could tell you meant nothing bad by it. Steve shrugged his shoulders as he turned off all the lights.

"It just kinda happened." He made his way to the door to stand right next to you. "I'm not the same as I was in high school Y/N. I'm not King Steve anymore."

Shaking his head he tried to smile, knowing that you had no idea about all the events that shaped him since high school. The two of you were only a few inches apart and it caused heat to rise on the back of your arms. A tiny shade of pink covered your cheeks as you looked around at everything except for what was in front of you. Steve had noticed all of this, finding it adorable how you reacted to being so close to him. Making sure to move back just a little to make you more comfortable, he smiled.

"Good! I didn't like him that much anyway. He had great hair but was kinda a jerk."

You placed your hair behind your ear and you walked out to his car as he just stood there. He wanted to make you smile for the rest of your life if he could. Now you were wrapped into this chaos that was the Upside Down, it made him feel a weird ache in his chest. Locking the door to the video store he huffed out a sigh and made his way to the driver's seat. Steve knew that the reality you soon were to face was going to be filled with a lot of grief and sadness. He himself was plagued with nightmares, waking up in an awful sweat every night. His jaw still had phantom pains from when Russians tortured him. The thought of any of that happening to you made him tense.

Making his way to the car he laughed softly seeing you in the middle of Max and Dustin in the back. He promised to himself that he would get you in the front seat, but for now, he loved the current seating arrangement.

"Alright buckle up!" His voice was stern like your’s had been when seeing Max and it caused everyone but you to groan.

You giggled hearing such a tone leaving the boy before you. Each time he spoke to the kids, it became a bit clearer that King Steve really was a different person now. After a twenty minute drive, the car pulled into the Refer Rick’s driveway. Dustin had been ready to bolt out of the car once you pointed out the mailbox. The sun was now setting making the secluded home a little creepier than it needed to be. The group of you made your way to the front door and then Dustin began to ring the doorbell way too many times. Steve began to let the boy know no one was there as he started to pound on the door.

"Eddie, it's Dustin!" The young boy shouted as the rest of you began to look in the windows. He was now pleading with Eddie saying they were only there to help.

Shouts of "Refer Rick!" filled the air as everyone was still making their way around the outside of the home. All of you took cautious steps as Steve made tiny comments about how creepy this was andhow Dustin was being too loud. All of you let out a collective tired sigh, no one was here. Max stopped to shine her flashlight on a boat house shining on it as if it was a clue.

"Hey! You guys!" Max spoke as she began to walk a little closer. The group made their way near the sides of the shed, shining light into the windows to see if there was any movement. Everyone held their breath as Robin opened the door, her raspy voice filling the quiet darkness.

"Hello? Is anyone home?" No one answered. Nevertheless, you all made your way one by one into the inky boat house.

"What a dump," Steve said and you nudged him in the shoulder because although this was terrifying, this wasn't the time.

Every single step could be heard as you all walked around trying to see if Eddie was nearby. Maybe he was hiding, before you could peek under the tarp of the boat Steve began to hit at it.

"What are you doing?" Dustin whispered while you gave Steve a confused look.

"He might be in here!" Steve exclaimed as he continued to hit the tarp with a paddle.

You watched as Dustin and Steve began to fight as to who would lift the tarp. Max was already walking over to a makeshift desk that was littered with what appeared to be recent trash.

"Hey! Look over here!" You followed Max's voice and took your place next to Robin. "Someone was here."

"Maybe he heard us, got spooked and ran?" Robin questioned with her eyes still on the tiny pieces of the garage.

"Don't worry, Steve will get him with his oar!" Dustin joked. "I know you think you're being funny, Henderson, but considering almost everyone in this room has nearly died multiple times," your eyes grew wide at this comment but Steve kept going. "Personally, I don't find it funny in the slight-"

Steve didn't finish his sentence because Eddie had come up from his hiding spot and was now after him with a knife in hand. He was pushing Steve against the wall holding the knife up to his throat. Dustin and you began to yell for Eddie, pleading with him to put the knife down.

"Eddie! Stop!" You placed your hand near Steve's neck. "Look, it's me! Eddie, I know you didn't do this. We all know you didn't do this, please just relax."

"It's me, Eddie! This is Steve, he's not going to hurt you, right, Steve?"

Steve whispered "right" while hoping what you were doing was going to save him from his current position.

"Steve, how about you drop the oar?" Steve's eyes went wide as if to say how stupid that was since he was the one with a knife at his throat but Eddie shoved the knife closer to him.

Even so, the oar dropped and Eddie looked at you with anger on his face. "What are you doing here?"

"We are here for you," Dustin spoke up and then began to point out who each person was. "This is Robin, you know her from band. This is my friend Max. The one who never wants to play D&D."

Max waved as Dustin continued, "Eddie, we're on your side. I swear on my mother!" You all then began to agree and swear on Dustin's mother.

This seemed to work as after a short pause Eddie backed away from Steve, who was now swearing under his breath.

Eddie sighed and looked into your eyes. He was so scared so you lowered your voice to speak to him once more. Relaxing his body and looking at the ground you walked towards him. Dustin was by your side as you placed your hand on Eddie’s shoulder. You watched as his shoulders sunk down towards the floor as you got down to his eye level.

"I'm so sorry, Eddie. We just wanna know what happened." You spoke with a softness that your mother once told you bedtime stories with.

"You won't believe me." He shuddered and spoke with a tone that you had never heard from him before.

"Try us." Max was now right beside you as she spoke and with that Eddie nodded.

"Y/N, I swear I didn't kill her." Eddie looked at you like the time he broke your bike years ago.

You both were about twelve years old and you had given Eddie permission to take your bike out for the day. The boy went down a hill near the school and wrecked the whole thing. Back then you just helped him with the cleaning of a brush burn and forgave him but now the stakes were much higher. There was no wound for you to clean up, it was just this horrible feeling of dread. At that moment you lunged forward and held onto him as tightly as you could. Running your fingers through his black curly hair as tears fell down his face.

"I know, Eds, I know you didn't do this, I'm so sorry." You spoke softly into his ear doing your best to soothe his sorrows.

Steve had finally caught his breath just to feel it hitch back up at the sight of Eddie in your arms. You were whispering in the other boy's ear and he knew you were trying your best to help out. A pang of jealousy hit him at the worst time and Robin noticed. A smirk spread across her face as she watched Steve's expression turn into a confused sadness.

The boat house had once been filled with an anxiety that was now cleared for the sadness of Eddie's voice as he described what happened to Chrissy. It was only then that you were able to understand what you had seen that night. Chrissy had levitated above him as he dropped the box of drugs you had found on the floor. This was something you had made sure to pick up before the cops showed up. Everything was coming together as if pieces to a puzzle, all of it now making sense.

"I just ran away." His voice was filled with shame and sadness. Swearing it would haunt him for the rest of his life, regretting leaving Chrissy behind.

"We are going to clear your name Eddie, we just need time" Dustin reassured him with a pat on the back. "For now, we will be back and bring you some food and some supplies."

The conversation between all of them continued and that feeling of despair began to fill your body once more. A part of you didn't want to leave Eddie alone with his anxieties but another part of you needed rest. When Steve rounded up the group, you followed in a haze to his car, not even realizing that the rest of them had helped you into the front seat. Placing your head in your hands you began to see visions of Chrissy…how her face didn't even look like her anymore. How her arms and legs seemed to have been crumpled like paper. It all began to fill your head until you felt a tap on your shoulder. Startled, you looked up and saw Steve Harrington. His comforting eyes looked at you like you had never seen before.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to see if you were alright. This is a lot." His tone was soft as he spoke and it soothed your feelings of fear and sadness.

"Don't worry, you didn't scare me I just...I keep seeing her. I keep seeing her face and how she looked so scared. I keep hearing Eddie and how he sounded before he ran away." Steve placed his hand on your forearm and it was only then you really looked into his eyes.

"Y/N, it's okay. What you saw was terrible. I have seen some really bad shit but I don't think I've seen anything like Eddie saw. You are a good friend for helping us find him." You nodded your head as he spoke, suddenly feeling your eyes water.

Dustin, Max, and Robin all gave each other knowing looks watching as Steve did his best to comfort you. Max felt awful that you were now in this mess, feeling as if it was her fault because she began to enjoy being around you. Everything she touched seemed to die in her hands, so, of course, her new friend was now in danger. Robin couldn't help but notice that her best friend didn't always talk to people in such a reassuring manner as he did you. No one had gotten this treatment from him, except for maybe one person, Nancy Wheeler. Dustin's only thought was Eddie and how he prayed that his dungeon master would be safe where they left him. It appeared that the car was a bag of mixed emotions; the one thing they did share was uncertainty.

As the driver, Steve had already decided that you were the last to go home. That was when Max spoke up to say that you lived right next to her. He simply nodded and began to drive you two to Forest Hills. When pulling up Max tapped you on the shoulder.

"Y/N, I am going to go check on my mom if you need me you know where I am." You smiled at her thinking how funny that she is now worried for you.

For a while now it had been you making sure that the redhead was safe and sound. Now, she was the adult in the situation with far more experience than you could ever imagine. As she walked away, you looked around only now noticing that everyone was out of the car. Tears flowed down your cheeks as tiny hiccups escaped your lips. Looking at you, Steve felt hopeless because he knew that you were going to feel so much more sorrow. He knew he couldn't promise anything but he could be by your side. Wiping your tears away as he was doing now and letting you know it was okay to feel this way. As you continued to sob he turned his body to face you resting his elbows on the console in between.

"I'm sorry, Steve, I just haven't really felt any of this yet. I just have been going on autopilot since last night." As you spoke, he cupped your face in his big hands, wiping your last tears away and placed his hand for you to grab.

"Thank you for driving me home." Your voice trailed off as the realization that you now had to go home alone.

Being alone was something you usually cherished. The day that your mother had left for good to get into rehab was the first day you had felt the freedom of being by yourself. It was a quiet that made everything feel better but now the idea of being alone frightened you.

"Steve, could you stay the night? I just really don't want to be alone tonight. I haven't slept and…" Your voice trailed off. A smile crept on his lips as he watched you do your best to explain your feelings..

"Hey, Y/N, don't worry about it. Of course, I can stay."

You nodded as you wiped the rest of your tears off your cheeks before getting out of the car with weak knees. Steve watched almost running at the sight of your legs wobbling.

"I'm fine, just really tired." Your very first yawn now comes up as the two walk up to your trailer.

"Oh, I have a cat. I hope you aren't allergic." This fact was coming far too late as you opened the door, Bennett running up brushing himself on your leg.

"I'm sorry buddy! I know, I know you are hungry." The black cat meowed watching as you made your way to the pantry. "Do you want water or anything?" You spoke as you began to take out some glasses and a can of cat food.

"Sure, I'll take some water. I probably haven't really had enough of that today." The two of you giggled as you finished up with the cat food and began to fill the glasses with water.

Placing two ice cubes in the water, you made your way over to the wandering boy before you. A smile on your face as you watched him scan the books on the coffee table.

"Here you go. Did you need something comfy to change into? I have some Eddie's clothes around here somewhere. He's always leaving his shit around."

Steve was looking at the back of an old copy of Persuasion by Jane Austen, the sip of water he'd taken now landing back in the cup with a cough. "So you and Eddie, are you two really close?"

At this moment you had no idea what the root of this question was. Steve was very much jealous of the idea that Eddie was able to leave things at your place. His eyes locked on your’s as he placed the book back where it had been sitting before. His body now leaning against the side of the couch you smirked at the question.

"I've known Eddie for a long time. He was my first friend when I moved here with my parents. When they left, he was the one thing that stayed constant in my life, so I found comfort in that. He is like a brother to me." If you weren't in the room staring at him with your clear blue eyes, he would've let out a sigh of relief.

Instead, he kept all his cool and nodded his head as if to say cool, cool. His eyes following you as you made your way to the back room.

"I'm going to change because I can't stand being in these clothes for another day." A small laugh left your lips as you closed the door, only a slit of light showing as he tried his best not to look in that direction.

In a moment of weakness, he noticed your bare back was the only thing peeking through the crack as you changed into a pair of boxers and a t-shirt with Bruce Springsteen on it. Bennett was making eyes at the boy, not sure if he could trust this handsome stranger or not.

"Okay, so I have a ton of blankets and pillows to make your stay just a little bit more comfortable. Do you wanna sleep on the couch?" You were already pulling blankets out of what appeared to be a wicker basket. "Let me get some pillows from my room. I sleep with more than is needed." You smiled, causing him to place his hand on your forearm.

"I'm just fine, don't worry about it. Go get some rest, I'll see you in the morning. If you need me, I'll be here." Each time you felt his touch, it made parts of your brain just feel calmer.

No more need to babble on about blankets and pillows when he was right there with that smile on his face. It was at this moment that you knew you wanted to know everything there was to know about the new Steve Harrington. You nodded as he let go of your arm and began to settle into the couch.

"Alright, I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight, Steve." "Good night, Y/N."

Steve began to take off his shoes and jacket, placing them neatly near the lounge chair next to him. Lifting the blanket that you had placed on the couch and settling into the soft feeling of pillows. Next to him was that same book Persuasion by Jane Austen, from what he could tell it seemed to be some type of romance book. The picture of you curled up in the chair closest to him with the book in your lap made him close his eyes with a peaceful smile.

While Steve was out there painting images of you, you were lying in bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling as your brain couldn't stop thinking. It felt as if several voices were speaking at once about all different things. Flashes of Chrissy's face when you found her, Eddie's eyes as he pleaded with you all, and then Max as she spoke so surely of the horrors in Hawkins. All of it overcame you until you shot up and yelled for the only person around.

"Steve!" Your voice was shaky as you spoke.

"Y/N?" He had been half asleep until he heard you shout his name in the darkness. At first, he wasn't sure if he had actually fallen asleep and was dreaming but then you spoke again.

"Could you… umm… lay next to me?" Those words sent him on his feet in a fairly quick manner.

Before you could even explain he was already in the room with you. "Oh god, were you sleeping? I'm sorry." "Don't worry about it." As you opened the covers for him to slide the two of you smiled.

It only took a few minutes for you both to get comfortable and once you had the voices in your head became quiet. As both of you began to fall asleep his hand found yours and you gave it a tiny squeeze. A tiny hum of happiness was the last thing heard before drifting off. Despite all the uncertainty, Steve and you both felt a sense of calm, but the nightmares would come like they always did and tomorrow was still a new day of fighting monsters.

We just left the movies. That was a bizarre film. I had fun though! And when we left I got a text that we get the day off tomorrow! Special day off for opening day. That's so nice.

I slept a little better last night but I was up to late so waking up was still tough. James apparently almost cried they were so tired. My poor husband.

It was going to be a very rainy day. But it didn't start until half way to work. When I woke up it was just grey. I got dressed and felt good. My hair was a little more dirty then I wanted but I knew I would wash it tonight so it was fine.

James and me left work at the same time. And there was a lot of traffic struggling to turn off our street so I went down the alley to get to the light. Which is a little silly but makes it so much less stressful so it's worth it.

It wasn't a bad drive. When the rain started I was not thrilled mostly be she it made me feel tired. But I got to work in one piece.

I would have breakfast and work on my lesson plans. I worked quietly by myself for an hour or so. Until Sarah came in and we chatted about stuff that needed to be done. And came up with a few things for her to do. And I got back to work. Everyone but Alexi would slowly come in. Even saw Lou today who is back to Florida.

Around 10 Heather was going over to the hacienda to give a talk to the group from yesterday about the YLP program. I offered to drive us in the gator so I could pick up the trash from them.

So we headed over. And it was misty raining. And it made my face all wet because the gator has no windshield. But it was fine.

I was shocked by how much trash there was. The boys helped load up the gator and then tried to convince me to let them drive with me to the dumpster. I told them to go ask an adult, because I knew they would say no but eventually one of their adults joined me and it would be two trips to the other side of camp and we were both soaked by the end. But I was glad to help, even if I was very very wet.

I drove the chaperone back to the hacienda. And then went to park at the office. Heather had walked herself back. I would have to spend some time drying off and vaguely complaint about how wet I was. Thankfully the rain has not come through my fleece so it was mostly just my hair that was wet.

I would spend the next hour working and having lunch. Eventually Ceila came in and we were able to talk about doing the lessons for nature. She would make them very detailed which was great. And I kept working on mine, which are less detailed right now but I can always add more.

Eventually I needed a break from the computer.

And would get my umbrella and take a walk around camp. Elizabeth wanted me to check on the cleaning supplies at the cabins so I did that and was surprised that there were tents set up near stockade? I knew that the other group was using the cabins but I didn't know they were sleeping outside.

But that was fine. I would have a conversation with one person from that group when I went to the lodge to drop something off. And helped them get a mop to clean up a spill downstairs. Happy to help.

I came back to the office and would work for a while. Celia was leaving as I was coming in again. And I would spend some time just playing on Pinterest and reading stuff but mostly I was working.

I did have some funny moments. Like when googles ai tried to give me directions to create tin can lanterns without filling them with solid ice. It's solution said "you don't need ice to create a ton can lantern! Just fill it with water and freeze it!" And it's like. Okay Google you tried.

But I worked pretty diligently until 330. Elizabeth and Sarah had just gotten back from the hacienda where they let me know I could have 3 gallons of ice cream that the group left. Sweet. I would stop and grab that on the way out.

I got two full gallons and three pints. The rain was still strong. But it was time to go home.

It wasn't a terrible drive but it was a little hard to keep my eyes open. I was very excited to go home and lay down.

Right before my exit I saw a single car accident. Someone took the turn to quick and smashed into the barrier. But the guy was now standing in the road. And like yes you should move away from your car but also you are in a blind curve and someone is going to hit you. Hopefully that didn't happen.

I got home at 430 and after putting some stuff away (and trying on the dyed dress which came out so beautifully) I got into bed. And waited for James. And once they were home and had put some stuff away they joined me. And we hung out in bed being sleepy until it was time to go meet their parents for dinner and a movie.

We went to a food court. Similar to R house and Mt Vernon marketplace. And it was good! I got pizza because I'm not sick of it yet. James got pad thai. Tucker got a BLT with crab and Anne got a fancy chicken pesto flatbread. And it was nice hanging out.

Soon we would walk to The Senator theater. Which is a historic theater and was super pretty. They had some of the original murals exposed and we got to sit in the main theater which was beautiful.

And the movie was. Fun? Weird? Honestly it wasn't good. It was Hitchcock' "Marnie" and it felt like a lot of scenes that were loosely tied together. It's based on a book and I hope the book was better. There were so absolutely hilarious moments. Like one Marnie's honeymoon where she is wear a high neck long sleeve fully buttoned nightgown and her husband says shes never been sexier and we all lost it. But there was also marital rape? And grand larceny? And just really terrible haircuts. The sister in law was adorable. Lill. Loved her whole look. It was fun though and I'm glad we went.

At the end of the film Tucker realized he lost his phone so we took a moment to look for it. I also apparently lost my wrist brace, which I had taken off half way through the movie. Disappointing but I'll replace it tomorrow. As we were looking for the phone I got the text that Alexi has given us all the day off tomorrow so I was pretty excited. And we all went to the concessions desk to see if they had the phone and they did!

Tucker wanted to give the guy a tip but none of us had money. So Tucker gave this kid a container of THC gummies. Which is hilarious. Like me and James were laughing so hard once we got back to the car. That is one to remember for sure.

We just got home a little bit ago. And I'm going to go wash my hair before we go to sleep. And now I don't have to wake up early! I hope tomorrow I can do some baking and go get a new wrist brace and maybe work on some sewing or at least cutting out my new pattern design. But regardless of all of that I hope it's just a really good day.

Sleep well everyone. And pray that the rain stops. Goodnight everyone!!

📖✨Shortkingvi's Fic Hall of Fame✨📖

Since I’ve been a regular fic reader since ~2011, I figure a list like this is long overdue. This is a (semi) comprehensive list of every fic that has irrevocably changed who I am as a person forever. Some of these may not be the most world-altering fic's you've ever read, but for some reason they have wormed their way into my heart and stuck with me since the first time I read them. So, in no particular order and across many fandoms, here are my all time top-10:

1. tin soldiers - idrilka (Marvel Cinematic Universe, rated T, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes.

this fic... what do i truly say about this one. i am a stucky bitch first and foremost and this is the absolute best of them. a direct companion to captain america: the winter soldier, this fic covers what the public opinion of cap, the plot of the movie, and his relationship with bucky was/is/might be. written as a collection of academic papers, social media posts, and book excerpts, this fic takes unique and unforgettable to a new level. 10/10 would recommend!

2. maybe it's just me - bleedtoloveher (The Hunger Games, rated M, Katniss Everdeen/Peeta Mellark)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes, although you could get by knowing the general premise.

this is the first fic i ever remember reading (at like 13 or 14) and boy oh boy did it stick with me. i regularly go back to read this one because it's just... so pure and sweet. an AU where katniss and peeta have been best friends for years and peeta is the only one reaped. upon returning after winning the games, he and katniss must pretend to be in a relationship so that he can protect her from president snow, who is unhappy with peeta. i adore this fic, it's just so lovely.

3. meet me halfway to your heart - ariadnerue (Carmilla, rated T, Carmilla Karnstein/ Laura Hollis)

Do you need to know the source material? No.

i may or may not have a thing for the fake/pretend relationship trope. this one is a fic where carmilla and laura are best friends and the children of two A-list actors. after a pushy dude in a bar won't leave laura alone, she and carm pretend to be in a relationship. of course, the media catches wind of their supposed love and has a field day with it, forcing them to have to pretend they're in love to avoid ruining the release of their parents' new film. this one is so CUTE and a one-shot (albeit 22k words), so it's an easy, sweet read!

4. human interest - mad_lori (Brokeback Mountain, rated E, Ennis Del Mar/Jack Twist)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes, but techincally only the first hour or so, though i think you'd miss out on the catharsis of this by doing so.

no movie truly sticks with me and breaks my heart quite like brokeback, and after a particularly depressing rewatch last year, i stumbled upon this. originally written in 2006, this fic is an AU that imagines what might've happened if ennis had said yes to jack's proposition after ennis' divorce. they open up a cattle operation up in vermont and get their happily ever after. it's slice of life, it's real, it's sweet and cathartic. if you too have been personally victimized by this film, i recommend this more than anything else on this list. it's wonderful. there's a sequel fic that is technically unfinished, but it's 40 chapters and ends on a decent stopping point, so i think that's more than fine.

5. been lovin' you for quite some time - onemilliongoldstars (The 100, rated E, Clarke Griffin/Lexa)

Do you need to know the source material? No.

for some reason i am physically unable to read in canon clexa shit because it hurts too much, so this is an AU. FWB clarke and lexa find themselves spending christmas together and have to pretend they're strangers. it goes about as well as you'd think. read this as a wee baby gay and it means so much to me because of that. clexa truly is my greatest ship of all time, so you can imagine how much this one has stuck with me. an easy, quick, fun read with almost no angst.

6. United States v. Barnes, 617 F. Supp. 2d 143 (D.D.C. 2015) - fallingvoices, radialarch (Marvel Cinematic Universe, rated T, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes.

i didn't want to double dip on this list, but when they're this good, you have no choice. this fic is SO creative. similar to tin soldiers, this fic is formatted in an incredibly creative way! telling the story of bucky's hypothetical trial post winter soldier, this fic is a compilation of court transcripts, news articles, and social media posts. it's stucky at its core, but can also just be enjoyed as a bucky fic. it does an incredible job of holding your attention and truly making you feel like you're a part of this trial. this is the character work we should've gotten for bucky post winter soldier/civil war/endgame/ANYTHING.

7. i-80 west - socallmedaisy (Glee, rated M, Santana Lopez/Brittany S. Pierce)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes.

read this one right around the time i was graduating high school and boy oh boy was that the perfect time to read it. brittana roadtrip fic/ last summer in lima fic where they just... go through everything that people go through at that time. i know this one is special to me because of when i read it and what it meant to me, but GOD this one burrowed into the depths of my baby gay trauma brain and has lived there ever since. if you have time, this is a great one. just... yeah.

8. strawberry ice cream (revamped!!!) - banneancroft69 (Ocean's 8, rated E, Lou Miller/Debbie Ocean)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes.

we do ocean's 8 here sir. this one is just truly lovely. unfinished, so be warned, but it doesn't really matter, because it's mostly a timeline of Lou and Debbie's relationship, starting way back at their first meeting. i'm one of the many who believes that lou and debbie canonically had a on again, off again love affair but are ultimately each other's soulmates, and i think this fic does well to kind of tie all that complexity together in a very fresh way. i think about this one a LOT.

9. roll with the punches - greatestchange (Avatar: Legend of Korra, rated M, Korra/Asami Sato)

Do you need to know the source material? No.

godddddd this fic. this SERIES. korra and asami are estranged high school best friends. when asami learns korra's back in town and fighting in an underground fight club, she goes to seek her out and figure out why she left and what she's been up to since. this series is HEAVY, let me preface, and deals with drug abuse, self-destructive tendencies, and overall complicated humans. it will likely be the most difficult read on this list because of this, but it also is one of the most important for me. i related BIG TIME to this version of korra, and it just really is a masterfully crafted series that i cannot say enough about. please give this a read if it sounds like your thing.

10. see your world in traces - spibsy (Professional Wrestling, rated E, Seth Rollins/Dean Ambrose)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes, but a general understanding of wrestling would probably suffice.

burrowing this down at number 10 so no one notices it. seriously though, i find it hard to ever read anything wrestling related because it often veers way too far into RPF territory for me and those lines are muddy enough as is. this one though... this one is fully within kayfabe and just like.. has stuck with me since i was 16 for some reason. it's FCW era ambrollins aka PEAK twunk rollins era, and it's just such a perfect kayfabe explanation for the funky little feud they had at the time. it's genuine and messy and heartfelt and weird and i HAD to include it here if i truly wanted this list to be as honest and correct as i want it to be. if you're at all into wrestling, this is a lovely one that i should probably read again soon.

#i've done it lads.#i'm sure half an hour after posting this i'll remember some fic i forgot and start screaming #but these are the ones that jumped to the forefront when i was making this and that's a good criteria i think #hmu if you read or have already read any of these! i'd love to know your thoughts #i'll add a link to my pinned post so this doesn't get lost btw #happy 2 clarify things about any of the fics on this list too btw
