#oh and thanks for the tag this was ao much fun!!!
Text
tag game 🏆 in which natalia (@jiminsproof), heather (@wistfulocean) and elle (@joon-rkive) activate a particular brand of crazy for me. but they probably knew this would happen
so the game itself is simple, rank 34 bangtan lead singles (?) in order of your preference
i will put the rest under the read more because it’s about to get long-winded and opinionated in here 🤙
so first of all...this should have been much easier for me given i created a bts song ranker a few months ago and re-ranked the songs like, last month lmao. however as you can probably guess i overthought this yet again! but after 10 listens i think it’s safe to say i should just stop wasting my time and letting bts completely take over my spotify wrapped for the 3rd year in a row. so my ranking is below. but three FOUR important things before i begin!
1. there is only 1 (one) song on here that i h*te. some of the others aren’t really my thing, but i still enjoy them sometimes! it’s just my taste, if i have any. i joke a lot about my opinions being right but really, truly, these are just opinions
i had to resist adding “but i’m right” here
2. i am ranking these songs based on how i feel about them while listening to them alone with my headphones. i am trying to leave music videos and performances out of it, although there are some performances that have seeped into my soul and i just can’t separate them. but i will let you know when i notice that happening. not all of these songs even have performances (that i know of? did they perform heartbeat?) and with the slow ones ofc the performance might just be them standing onstage in front of microphones so i just don’t think that’s a fair comparison. similar with the mvs, i’m definitely gonna be biased towards the videos with more budget and/or when the members are older lmao so i just don’t want that to be a factor. and there are also some songs that are more fun to listen to while screaming along with your friends and i’m not gonna be able to forget that completely either but again i don’t do that as much with the slow songs and i think they deserve a chance in my ranking. point is i’m TRYING to focus on sound alone. and related to that:
3. i do not speak korean or japanese! i like to look up the meanings of bts songs when i think about it, especially because some of them have such great messages (and others not so much lol) but it’s easy for me to forget that while i’m listening to the songs because i don’t understand many of the words they’re saying. i would say overall that the meaning of the song sometimes makes me like a song more or less, but the language barrier definitely makes that super secondary to me just enjoying the listening experience
4. also! i became a fan during dynamite era. so i might be less attached to some of the old songs (or a song like yet to come!) than people who’ve been fans for longer.
okay, so with all that said, here is my ranking:

Permission To Dance
some of these rankings might be surprising so please
let me explain
in reverse order so we end on a positive (but emo) note
(notes aren’t even necessary and were written mostly in drunk lmao basically just whatever came to mind while i was listening)
[namjoon voice] so let’s go!
34. Permission to Dance
literally no offense to anyone who likes this song if this music gets you going i won’t stop how you move but i want this song to walk the walk out of my life. where to begin...i guess i’ll start with the first time i heard this song, which was the premiere, and i remember watching the music video (i know it’s not supposed to count BUT) with my roommates and at the beginning we were like “oh she’s wearing a mask...is she gonna...” and then she DID. they all did. and we were like are you serious? we stayed up for THIS? like ed sheeran wrote it and i doubt the guys had much creative control of the video esp the scenes they weren’t in but like releasing a song with a music video basically proclaiming COVID is over when it was still a huge problem literally everywhere...YIKES! btw get your omicron boosters folks. ofc the lyrics are generic enough that my friends and i just decided to treat it like a gay rights anthem after the rainbow cowboy performance but even if i could get the horrible taste out of my mouth after that...the song itself still makes me sick. they autotuned the fuck out of it to the point where the chorus sounds like vomit sloshing around in a bucket, the lyrics are empty nonsense, and it’s just not bts! like ed sheeran wrote better songs for one direction, songs that still sounded kind of like ed sheeran songs. this isn’t even ed sheeran’s new sound and it CERTAINLY isn’t bts’ sound. i listen to this song and best case scenario i am tense the entire time waiting for it to be over. my friends and i CHEERED when it dropped down from #1 after one week lmao. the 1 (one) good thing about this song which doesn’t count for my ranking is the sign language built into the dance, that was great! i promise i will not be like this for the rest lmao
notes
the beginning is a one direction song. is it wmyb? that would explain why it triggers a fight or flight response in me
i mean when it’s live jk’s part at the beginning is kinda nice but again that doesn’t count
namjoon why did you say elton john in a british accent
“right vibe” yoongi please define this vibe you keep speaking of
hobi’s cute during his part at the end of the chorus but that’s because of him not the song
jimin’s high notes at the end are good live but again they don’t count!!!
same with jin’s “we don’t need to WOOOOOOORRYYYyyy” that’s my favorite part of his voice
i needed to drink to get through this one yikes
33. Not Today
okay so absolutely NOTHING against not today but this falls in my category of bts songs where i’m like...”why are you yelling???” which makes absolutely NO sense because i generally LOVE the songs that go hard and this song is kind of allegedly about social justice? which is literally the MOST valid reason to be yelling. and yet...i think this song just makes me feel like i’m in a battle scene in a movie, but not the biblical kind like ON, more like the sci fi and/or youth revolution kind like hunger games where it could feasibly happen in a few hundred years and it just stresses me OUT! when i’m in a really chill mood this song can be fun but in any other situation i’m like someone please get me outta here i’m gonna dieeeEEEE. idk i’m sensitive sometimes. i guess the song does its job though
notes
okay but literally does the beginning of this song not give you anxiety is this really just me
yoongi’s rapping voice is good though
extra! huh!
still part of this ~woooooorld~
extra plus ordinary! huh!
WAH!
WILL i survive? will i REALLY???
chong! jojun! BALsa!!!
seriously it’s movie trailer battle scene music
too hot! (milk)
i love hobi’s rap
whatcha sayay! not todayay!
whatever effect they did on the vocals in the bridge i liked that it fits
hands up!
i had a nice day i do like this song
but it’s also v long
i will accept this gunshot it could be thematic
32. Yet to Come
ahhhh yet to come...again i LOVE the message behind this song and it’s something i need to hear at the tender age of 26. the sound just isn’t really my thing. but the best part of this song is when the rap line comes in on the chorus. specifically yoongi and how PASSIONately he raps his part i really FEEL it in the live performances (not that that’s supposed to count here...). last thing i’ll say is that i feel the need to sing this song more than i feel the need to listen to it, so i guess it’s catchy, but i don’t enjoy the listening experience as much as most of their other songs
notes
vocal line does sound nice in the beginning actually
i should just listen to this drunk all the time
no i shouldn’t
[jk voice] yooonGAAAAAAAAY
i sure HOPE the best is yet to come
31. Life Goes On
this might as well be tied with yet to come tbh, the only difference between the two is that i’ve been with this song longer and i’m more attached. and vocal line’s high notes in the chorus are super impressive. i try to sing along and i’m piercing everyone’s eardrums. singing that high AND softly is really fucking hard like props to them...also every time yoongi sings “mmm mmm mmm mmm” i say “thanks suga” afterward because that alone is worthy of a grammy
notes
the bass line is so close to another famous song idk which one but it’s also satisfying
we got jk low notes good good good good good good GOOD!
thanks suga
BEAUFITUL BEAUTIFUL high notes
30. Save Me
this song is catchy, it just doesn’t really do anything for me. i think it ends up fading really easily into the background and it doesn’t really stand out next to other songs with a similar sound
notes
the clock is like what do you mean what is the purpose (2015) of it
jimin your voice is beautiful
i just don’t think i could pick this instrumental out from a lineup of other 2010s dj hits you know?
lmao the echo on tae’s voice went so weird like really listen to it (nyah nyah nyah)
please save me tonight p p p please save me tonight
whoo! whoo!
the best of ME???
but yeah this sounds to me like parts of other songs but don’t ask me which ones i’ve lived a long life i don’t remember
no thank YOU namjoon 🤭
29. For You
okay i genuinely do LOVE this song i just don’t always have the patience for it, if that makes sense. it’s a good vibe that sometimes makes me feel nostalgic but it takes some time to build up. that’s okay! i just have to be in the right mindset for it. and similar to heather i only discovered the mv recently and wow that’s adorable 🥺
notes
joonie baby why are YOU far away. come home. the kids miss you
shower! we’re getting really excited about hygiene!
lmao what is that noise they had to wake yoongi up for this
tae did a REALLY good job in that chorus wow
oh rap line in the chorus no wonder i like this
28. Dynamite
this is the song that got me into bts and it’s a bop! and i think a lot of people have problems with the lyrics because they’re ridiculous but dare i say i like them more than butter’s? it’s just a silly little song and it makes me happy sometimes. jungkook does like milk, lebron does jump high, king kong does exist, that’s three facts in one song what more can you want? and i’ll give bts the benefit of the doubt on this one because it was the first all english group song (that i know of?). maybe it WAS just a gift to armies all around the world because times were tough and english is a widely understood language and not an obvious cash grab like ptd or...
notes
cup of milk let’s fuckin rock and roll!!!
i like jk’s voice when he says kong and stone
this beat cha ching like money! huh!
the autotune here is bad too ngl
namjoon i’m sorry you had to say that in a megaphone but i kinda love it
🎵 its called 4 on the floor! a beat you can’t ignore! 🎵
27. Butter
okay first of all you cannot call me a butter hater exhibit a my 2021 spotify wrapped:
i listened to regular butter (#1) ALONE 724 times...i just really wanted it to stay #1 on billboard lol but i kind of was addicted to the song too. i didn’t get really tired of it the whole 10 weeks straight i was listening to it (between other bts songs...i’m not crazy). and i love that it showed bts being confident about themselves because i worry about that sometimes...some of them have anxiety and body image stuff so seeing them like this like oh yeah i’m hot shit again made me really happy. that said, you know, this was definitely a cash grab and the song itself feels very thrown together (unlike dynamite which was basic but seemed to be more ~sonically cohesive~) so i can only rank it so high
notes
b-b-b-buttah motherfuckah!!!
woo!
break it down!
i remember when this song first came out i was so confused? idk it all just happened so fast
fresh boy or doom boy namjoon which one is it
oh hobi’s part is the BEST part whenever there is party to bring he BRINGS IT
WE DON’T STOP!
OH MY GOD!
26. Airplane pt. 2
sequels will never match up with the original and with an original like airplane by j-hope that is a BIG hangar to fill. not that i spend all of my time listening to this song comparing it to airplane pt. 1 lol. it’s a bop for sure, but similar to save me i think it fades easily into the background. the performance with the microphones takes it over the top but i’m not counting that here. ummmm don’t tell natalia’s mom i need to stay on her good side
notes
i’m in a detective film
the HIGH NOTES! JIN!!!!! i think
i forget what the dance was for this actually but i hope they shake their hips a lot
again hobi’s rap is the best but it’s literally the same as part 1 you know???
IDUNNOIDUNNOIDUNNOIDUNNO! IDUNNOIDUNNOIDUNNOIDUNNOOOO! IDUNNOIDUNNOIDUNNOIDUNNO!
[unnecessary sexy sighing]
25. ON
getting to my biggest LET ME EXPLAIN moments. a lot of this will be the same as what i say about black swan, i don’t think these songs are meant to stand alone. they don’t sound BAD alone, but they were meant to be performed. it’s true of so many kpop songs but when you take away the performance these songs in particular (compared to other bts songs) just don’t hit nearly the same. i think a part of that might just be the way they were mixed/mastered and what the streaming platforms did to the volume when they were distributed (i am completely pretending to know anything about this). not sure if this is fair to use as a factor because the song itself is still so good, but this is a problem i have with songs from other artists too where they sound so good with speakers but then with your headphones it’s just...disappointing. ON in particular sounds a bit quiet and almost restricted in my headphones, while other bts songs sound a lot louder and fuller at the same volume. like when you watch ON being performed, you are ON the battlefield WITH the marching band watching them fight and it’s incredible. when you’re listening to ON alone on your headphones you are watching a war movie with bts as actors and half of them aren’t great actors and no one knows how to use the weapon they’re holding except yoongi. it’s like watching the ON cinematic music video when you could be watching the kinetic manifesto dance performance. it will just never compare
notes
i can’t understand what people are sayin! no way me too
no i will not look at your feet namjoon i have seen enough
whatever else namjoon is saying i love it
okay it’s a little better than watching a war movie it’s like watching a high school marching band youtube video
edgelords
hobi and yoongi’s echo things and sound effects are the best part of this thing
ooh yeah oh eh eh oh oh eh uh huh uh huh doo doo doo
YA YA YA YA! YA YA YA YA! YA YA YA YA! YA YA YA YA! YA YA YA YA!
WIN NO! MATTER! WHAT! winnomatterwhatwinnomatterwhat nega mwoladeon nuga mwoladeon i don’t give a uh i don’t give a uh i don’t give a UH! YEAH!
jimin will you be my roommate though for real i need one
like jk’s high notes are not nearly as dramatic without him standing alone on the stage crouching in pain with a band behind him it’s just not the same
like i’m tapping my foot i just don’t feel the energy
24. Black Swan
i think i made my point with ON but i will just add here that it makes more sense for black swan to not hit in general just because the whole point of the song is like losing passion for music. and it’s not *just* an r&b pop dance song like i think the orchestral elements and the vocal distortions make it super unique. but without the performance, again, it just doesn’t hit the same at all. musically this song is like edging to me. it kind of builds and then goes steady and you’re waiting for it to flourish but then it doesn’t, it just goes “do your thang” and i’m just like dudes what does that even mean. i don’t know what your thing is either. and again maybe that goes with the meaning of the song but i’m just never satisfied unless i’m watching the music video or a dance performance. so that’s why this masterpiece is here on the list
notes
this song is really fucking cool i mean it
the bass is full i appreciate that
bump bump bump! jump jump jump!
yeah yeah yeah! killin me now! killin me now! do you hear me yeah!
hobi’s part is really good
driving to the studio!
ba da NA NA!
this should’ve been a hit
23. Stay Gold
this song was an early fave of mine, i have fun memories of listening to this in my roommate’s car as they were first introducing me to bts. but it got old real fast so i haven’t listened to it much since 2020. but listening to it again after a while...it’s a good song...the best part of it BY FAR is jimin when he sings the japanese part in the chorus because holy shit is that not the cutest thing you’ve ever heard in your entire life??? wtf????? if he did that for the whole song it would probably be higher on this list lol
notes
i’m sorry i will never hear the beginning of this song normally ever since that meme lmao
tae is really good in that pre-chorus
they really BELT out that chorus you go vocal line
honestly pissed they only had jimin do the japanese chorus once i have tears in my eyes
jin said “i’ll steal your heart” and i didn’t even believe him but then he did it :(
oooooh those high notes! so pretty!
22. Dope
okay i love this song but it does fall into the “why are you yelling???” category. i think what throws me off is the musical break after chorus. whatever that instrument is reminds me too much of another 2010s song i didn’t like and i just can’t always get with it. i’ll jam to it with other people but not really when i’m alone. lots to make fun of though which i really appreciate!
notes
AYO LADIES AND GENTLEMEEEEEEEEN (say this in a really annoying baby voice)
DOPE! DOPE! DOPE!
JJEO JJEORO!!!
i don’t wanna say yes!
🎵 some words just go together like higher desire and fire 🎵
those beats in namjoon’s part really hit
ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY!
ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY!
the fact that namjoon said “can i get a little bit of hope?” and hobi’s part wasn’t right after...wtf....
bangtan style lmao
hustle liiiiiiiife!!!
[baby voice] I GOTTA MAKE IT RIIIIIGHT BABY
OW!
21. Fire
thoughts are pretty similar to dope even though they literally tell us why they’re yelling. a bass boosted version of this was my “GET THE FUCK UP BITCH” alarm for a short time so i think it also gives me horrible flashbacks that probably affected the ranking. but it’s a jam for sure!!!
notes
like those first notes bass boosted...imagine that waking you up...it’s scary
this instrumental is honestly ridiculous
when i wake up in my rrrOOOOM
say la la la la la! (la la la la la) say la la la la la! (la la la la la)
(bultaoreune)
BOW WOW WOW
hey........................................burn it up
fiyah!
need! to burn! it down! OW!
HA! HA! HA HA! HOTTER (i always thought they were just laughing aggressively oops)
20. War of Hormone
i am CACKLING every time at jk singing “yes i’m a bad boy so i like bad girls” i love it so much. also s/o to tae for giving his ALL to “TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT NOW...IMMA GIVE IT TO YOU GIRL RIGHT NOW” because that probably did a number on his voice. he did so much for us 🥲
the beginning is hilarious i can’t believe they had the mario coin and power up noises too they did that for ME!!!
so aGGRESSIVE namjoon
I’LL be your FAN!
YES i’m a bad boy SO i like BAD girls
hello hello (what) hello hello (what) tell me what you want right NOW!
hello hello (what) hello hello (what) imma give it to you girl right NOW!
say that in a baby voice too
i like the guitar a lot
eh heh! eh heh! eh eh eh hu yeeeeeeeah!!!!!
19. Danger
this song is just so dramatic and hilarious i always love listening to it. also the most important thing i have to say about this song is i am SHOCKED there isn’t a pokemon parody for this in which jimin says “you gotta catch em all” right before the chorus because that’s what i sing every time i cannot be the only person who does that
notes
yeeeeeEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
(in a baby voice) YOU’RE IN DANGER
YOU’RE IN DANGER
YOU’RE IN DANGER
YOU’RE IN DANGER
i’m SICK!
DEONG DEONG DIGIDEONGDEONG
MICHIL GEOT GATAAAAA HOOOOOO
YOU GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!!!
you gotta make fun of jk trying to be sexy in the chorus with the UH!
tae really just let it all out in this song thanks for that buddy
BEEP BEEP!
rap line is so good. why are they so good. who approved of that
oh also sing jimin’s part in the chorus with a baby voice
18. Just One Day
ahhhh....this reminds me of chill car rides as well. i love this song, it’s cute, it’s catchy, it’s fun to “sing” along to, it’s nostalgic, it’s a specific genre of bts songs where i think this (and maybe for you) are the only singles, but it’s my comfort genre. i love it dearly
notes
[namjoon sexy voice] yeah...just one day...one night
[deep inhale]
YA!
the SOUND EFFECTS! BEST PART. so silly i love
when the chorus goes do it! do it! do it! i feel like they’re poking me
hobi brought the party you didn’t have to ask him he just did it
can you please stay with me 🥺
17. Run
run is another one of my early faves. i remember when my old roommate first showed me their music videos this was one of the videos and songs i remembered liking a lot, probably the best at the time. maybe it was the most similar to music i was already listening to. but yeah, it’s a big banger as you know
notes
the GUITAR!
dasi run! run! run!
jimin in the chorus he’s singing his little heart out!
(in the most baby emo voice you can muster) don’t tell me bye bye! you make me cry cry! love is a lie lie! don’t tell me! don’t tell me! don’t tell me bwye bwye!
hobi’s rap is really good wow
ooooh whoooooo oooooooh ahhhhhhh
the bridge is really good like that is a quality bridge do you know how hard that is to come by
16. Heartbeat
this placement is a bit of a surprise to me because a couple months ago this was really low in my ranking. i blame sarah <3 but i think the main reason behind that was, again, me having no patience to let music build. but when you let it get to at least hobi’s part it is SO beautiful. it may still grow on me yet, stay tuned
notes
jk solo low notes oh woooooooow
🎵 some words just go together like higher desire and fire 🎵
jimin i love you you don’t have to wish for it <3
you give me a new BIRTH
HOBI!!!
this is a fist pumper when you get to the 2nd chorus
JIMIN’S HIGH NOTES
JIN’S HIGH NOTES
when the GUITAR gets going oh yes
tae singing high is also so beautiful there’s something special about it
15. I NEED U
okay so this is another banger but what sets this above some of the others is the silly boy band dance i do to this song which isn’t supposed to count but still
notes
fall (everything) fall (everything) fall (everything)
AH!
hobi’s part is so good
but you are everything! everything! everything!
mianhae (i HATE YOU!) saranghae (i HATE YOU!) yongseohae (shit)
and then the dance move
it goes round and round! i go down and down!
jungkook you don’t need a girl could you even look her in the eye at this point?
I NEED YOU GIRL!
another excellent bridge
14. Blood Sweat & Tears
fantastic song ABSOLUTELY no question like this song is great the whole time there are no dull parts i listened to it 10 times in the last week so i should know. not even thinking about the performance!
notes
starts out good and just doesn’t stop wow
peaches and cream sweeter than sweet chocolate cheeks and chocolate wings
“kiss me” if you insist hobi!!!
hobi doing most of the chorus is actually the best idea they’ve ever had
kiss me on the lips IF YOU INSIST YOONGI
oh my god jimin’s about to do some insane high notes
OW!
13. Fake Love
listen. this song is amazing incredible show stopping never been done before never the same totally unique etc. BUT. it was not meant to sound like it does. the rocking vibe mix is a step in the right direction but ultimately this was the final answer. i consider this the official version. we all know they were emo kids it just makes sense
notes
[screaming] FAKE LOVE! FAKE LOVE! FAKE LOVE!
i wanna be a GOOD MAN! (just for you)
now i don’t KNOW ME! (who are you?)
HOBI’S PART
LOVE YOU SO BAD! LOVE YOU SO BAD! drink some water sweetie
why you SAD? i don’t know. nan molla
YOONGI’S PART
oooooh i don’t know i don’t know i don’t know why
outro as intro <3 they do that a lot haha
12. IDOL
what’s fun about this song is i forget how much i love it all the time for some reason. and then it comes on and i’m like holy shit this is so good how unexpected??? also that whistle noise in the background throughout basically the entire song scratches an itch i never even knew i had. great song, one of their best for sure
notes
the BEAT in the beginning
can call me artist! can call me idol!
i don’t! care!!
i’m proud of it! no more irony!
god this song is so fun
i KNOW what i am! i KNOW what i want! i ain’t EVER gonna change! i ain’t EVER gonna trade! CHOO CHOO!
YOU CAN’T STOP ME LOVIN MYSELF!
WOOHOO!!!
AYY!
spotlight eh ! superhero goddamn! anpanman!
I LOVE MYSELF!
RUNNING MAN RUNNING MAN RUNNING MAN! BRRRP!
and the whistle do you hear it in the chorus it’s in the left ear i think it’s like a sports whistle but melodic
AYY!
11. DNA
okay so i have history with this song as well because if i remember correctly this is the first bts song i ever heard. and i didn’t really like it at first because it reminded me too much of other popular songs on the radio at that time that i didn’t like. but over the past few years and with distance from those kinds of songs i’ve grown to really love this one. tae starting the song out is a real treat because i think he rarely starts out the big songs and his voice sets a really cool vibe. also s/o to the one of my favorite misheard bts lyrics of all time “PUT YOUR ASS ON ME!”
notes
lmao the put your ass on me line might have something to do with god and fate that makes it even funnier like this wasn’t random chance you were DESTINED to put your ass on me. tragically beautiful
TAKE IT! TAKE IT! 😳
this love! REAL LOVE!
DNA! TRUE LOVERS!
my notes really are just any english sounding words i hear sorry
OH YEAH!
i love the shouting in the chorus. i love shouting
whose voice is the really low dna
space noises!
yeongwonhi! yeongwonhi! yeongwonhi! yeongwonhi!
screw the lightbulb
la lai la la la! la lai la la la!
10. Lights
first of all side note why are bts japanese songs so freaking good and give me so much emotion? why didn’t they do this with the english songs. this song is so sweet and beautiful and we again get jk starting out in his lower register which is GORGEOUS and then jimin once again singing in the cutest voice ever why was he designed to make me cry. anyway. love the song and the video doesn’t count but it might actually be my favorite bts video ever
notes
low jk solo sorry idk why i’m obsessed with this now
JIMIN 😭
WHOA HO HO HO
SING IT
every time i’m thinkin bout love every time i’m thinkin bout love! eh!
the build up to the chorus i love it i love it so much
vocal line stop making me feel things
i’m your liiiight! i’m your liiiiight!
oh this song is long i forgot
i’m BREAKIN DOWN (same)
JIMIN 😭
EVERYONE 😭
this is one of their best songs seriously i probably ranked it too low
9. Epilogue: Young Forever
i am not always in the mood for this song just because again i have little patience to let things build but when you get to yoongi and hobi just fucking screaming their parts i ascend to another plane of existence. it’s not even necessarily the song, it’s the PASSION i feel when i hear it that makes me love it. and again you have rap line in the chorus you simply cannot fail with that
notes
[jk voice] YOONGAYYYY!!!!!!!
HOBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHILLS!
i’m drinking sake out of a solo cup because i’m forever young
the drama! the passion! you’re gonna love the arts in philadelphia!
jimin got this tattooed
and the way it slows down and becomes kinda solemn at the end i’m gonna cry
🎵 gang vocals here we come! 🎵 😭
8. No More Dream
a classic of course of COURSE!!! again rap line in the chorus can’t go wrong. also this has definitely happened in songs before this one in the list but i love when rap line, usually yoongi, just has one random high pitched word when they’re rapping something (i want a big house big cars and big rings but sasireun I don't have any BIG dreams) like it’s my favorite thing ever i don’t know why. and they’ve been on their follow your dreams bullshit since day 1 god i love them
notes
the BASS LINE
namJOOOOOOOOOOON
the school bell lmao
whatever hobi’s saying i love it
GEeee
STOP!
SUCH A LIAR!
la la la la la!
they’re just growling at me it’s the best
was the gunshot thematic
this seriously went so hard
please tell me how everything i’m doing is wrong i respond to that
yeah yeah! OW!
okay those gunshots were def not thematic :/
to all the youngsters without dreams aha xx
7. N.O.
okay with this song i’ve blocked out the mv completely :) and the ONE concert performance with that fucking GUITAR RIFF is literally like an engine revving up in my chest. the performance doesn’t count but too late it’s a part of meeee!!! and you gotta do that little steering wheel move for JOHEUN CHAAAA!!! the other fun thing to do is during the chorus when they’re like everybody say NO!!! you do the little echo no! and andwae! in a baby voice. baby voice never gets old to me sorry. and talking about youth issues no one else was talking about! they are icons for a reason!!!
notes
B T S
JOHEUN JIB! JOHEUN CHA!!!!
i guess this song is also supposed to be a revolution but it doesn’t stress me like not today idk why
everybody say NO! (no!)
we roll....we roll....we roll!!!
rrrrrrRRRRAH!
huh?! HUH???!!!
lmao there is so much going on in that last 30 seconds or so
6. Boy With Luv (barely feat. Halsey)
i think this was the second bts song i ever listened to intentionally, so again there is history, i was too jaded to like it the first time i heard it but when i was in a better mindset first getting into bts i really enjoyed it! jimin asking me how my day was and texting me i am giggling and kicking my feet just thinking about it. such a cute fun song and it being a more feminist version of boy in luv????? which still ranks higher on my list but pls ignore that for a sec finally please watch this video the choreography just works way too well
notes
doing the fan chant in my head sorry
vocal line finally figured out how to sound a little bit sexy without trying too hard it turns out the secret was feminism
ohh...............................bae
someone...please......come be his teacher......................
the instrumental is cool like someone called it kitschy once i agree if that’s not an insult
i love yoongi’s part
ay ay! ay ay! HOPE WORLD!
and hobi’s part
oh nooo! oh nooo! nooo way! nooo way! boy with luuuv!
oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh
i WANT it!
namjoon’s part too all of rap line
yeah? sigh
let me flyyyyy
5. Mic Drop
mic drop is definitely meant to be performed but the difference for me between this and ON/black swan is the song still stands well on its own. it’s definitely better with the performance but i still listen to it by itself and i’m happy. and it’s just good the whole time. aside from the slow part but i’ll tell you my secret on getting past that. when namjoon’s doing his dramatic speech you gotta hype jin up. hype that part up like it’s literally the best part of that song coming up, like that dance doesn’t look completely ridiculous, and it will eventually be one of your favorite parts of the song
notes
okay i do picture hobi dancing in my head during this intro i can’t help it
yeah?
world business! bang bang! clap clap! magic! mic mic bungee!
i’m fine sorry! mianhae eomma!
i do it! i do it!
ooooh highlight of this song is when they echo “hella sick” like barking chihuahuas
baby watch your mouth (mouth!) it comes back around (round!) once upon a time (time!) we know how to fly (fly!) go look at your mirror (same! damn! clothes!) you know how i feel? (gaehaengbok) turn UUUUUuuuuuuP how many hours til we fly (woooOOOOOooooo) i keep on dreamin on the cloud! YEAH I’M ON THE MOUNTAIN! YEAH I’M ON THE BAY! EVERY DAY WE VIBIN! mic drop BAM!
namjoon says mic drop so calmly and casually i’m gonna
haters gonna hate players gonna play (swift 2014) live your life man good luck
HERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE FUCKING GO!!!
and ragdoll
bo! bo-bo bo bo-bo body roll! bo! bo-bo bo bo-bo body roll! (what do you mean those aren’t the lyrics)
thanks steve <3
4. We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2
dude this just goes so hard so fast and again i’ve blocked out the mv completely in favor of the ONE concert performance in which namjoon does his little sword fighty move with his jacket and the...sash? strap? one of those things. i can’t get it out of my head and i don’t want to. again. SO much to make fun of here it’s just everything i need in a bts song and more.
oh FUCK yes
WHAT! WHAT! WHAT!
HA! HA! WE ARE BULLETPROOF! HA! WASSUP! (wassup) BULLETPROOF
[baby voice] IREUMEUN JUNGKOOK! SEUKEIREUN JUNGKOOK!!!
the vocal inflections or whatever!!!
fuck it UP tae oh my GOD
[baby jimin voice] we go HARD! <-- name of my bts hype playlist lol
click click ! bang bang! (said in a baby voice)
we just sing it like (said in a nerd voice)
AND RAPPER MAN!
rap MONSTER!
IRIWA MIRI BWA! HA HA!
rrrrrrRRRRRRAH
jin sang this right after downing a glass of milk
again there is so much going on in this dance break outro lmao
3. Boy In Luv
this song hits EVERY fucking time. i don’t even remember the performance aside from jimin is there. it doesn’t matter. the song is so good and i don’t understand the words i don’t care. it’s got hip hop, it’s got rock, it’s catchy, you can make fun of it, it ticks all the boxes for me
notes
(for absolutely no reason) FIYAH!
oh tae is definitely also there
tae really messed up his voice for this song please have some respect
rrrRRRRAH!
hakuna matata! OH!
i love this whole goddamn thing
say “say what you want” in a baby voice also
car noises!
hold up!
i just ignore the meaning of the word oppa for this
yeah yeah yeeeeeeeAAAAAAAAAAH
jimin sing it bby!!!
2. Spring Day
this song was another early favorite of mine but i did get tired of it for a while because they kept performing it in 2020. but now that i’ve had some space i feel like i can fully appreciate it again. this song didn’t have to grow on me at all, i instantly liked it, tae’s “you know it all, your my best friend” deserves an oscar, i can’t even beLIEVE yoongi’s verse, and again! they are talking about this even while the government was (supposedly?) trying to downplay the whole tragedy. and this was AFTER they were getting successful, they had something to lose, but they did it anyway <3
1. Film Out
this probably seems a little random. i wasn’t in love with this song on the first listen, it definitely took a little for me to really get into it. my friends and i kept playing the music video on our big tv just because it was trippy and funny and when the song started getting stuck in my head it was all over. and vocal line SHINES in this one wow wow wow like especially the end with jimin and jin!! but we still have humor in namjoon’s part so this song is missing nothing. and then the INSTRUMENTAL. it sounded a bit strange to me when i first heard the song but now everything (the piano, the orchestra, the guitar) all come together so beautifully. and the LYRICS like at the end of the day it’s just some sad j-drama ost but it’s MY sad j-drama ost. i’ve never seen it though lol
notes
gorgeous
starts with just a little piano
piano builds
guitar comes in
harmonies
.........................................................................................ayy
beat comes in (”let the beat in”)
[clenches fist] ahhhhhhhh
making fun of namjoon in this song is my favorite past time sorry
and the la la la la las over sope’s rap <3 <3 <3
AND NOW THE ORCHESTRA
AND JIMIN!
AND JIN!
AND JIMIN AGAIN!
beat drops out
i’m a conductor now actually
to conclude:
i hate ptd
i love jimin
newfound love for jk’s lower register
tae really does put his whole pussy into it sometimes
chances are i love hobi’s part
[jk voice] yoooooonGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
namJOOOOOOOOON
jin was there...i love him i swear
sorry for all the pop 101 references
why yes i am absolutely insufferable at kpop night thanks for asking
so if you made it through this whole post let me know i’ll give you a gift of some kind idk what yet but lmk if you have any ideas
not tagging anyone because i don’t want to subject any more of my friends to reading this but if you see this and would like to do it please go for it and say i tagged you! i love to hear other people’s thoughts on bts songs, good or bad
#tag: i'm it!#jiminsproof#wistfulocean#joon-rkive#warning to anyone about to click read more this is literally 7000 words idk what happened#ummm staying in character i guess#the v important things i ignored in order to finish this post bc i couldn't stop thinking about it..................#i hope i make you guys feel normal#oh and thanks for the tag this was ao much fun!!!

Hey sweetie, question tiiimmmmmeeeeeee. I know you love (and I love it too) Nicholas Angel in pink. What's your favourite outfit to put different Simon characters in? Or the few you imagine if their clothing is not described?
oh boy do i love to put simon characters in pink. i'm sorry, he just looks so good in the color. green flag, honestly.
these questions have wonderfully complex answers since i have so many of them as sims in my sims 4 world, and part of the creation process is dressing them up in as many canon-accurate outfits as i can, and then extrapolating their style from there for the rest. for the most part, as my accuracy autism demands, i prefer to put them in/imagine them in canon-accurate outfits. when reading fic where outfits are undescribed, I imagine tim in his muted green clamshell jacket, big baggy beige cargo pants, and wallet chain when he's outside. I imagine him in long sleeve shirt underneath short sleeve graphic tee and beanie. i imagine benji in his nice-looking jacket-three-piece-suit combos and configurations when it's cold or even remotely formal, and i imagine him in his colorful button-down/graphic tee/red leather jacket getup when it's hotter out or he's just kinda chillin'. nicholas of course gets the classic solid-sweater-over-light-collared-shirt outfit.
if i'm feeling creative, i like to put angel in turtlenecks, tim in cute frilly dresses, graeme in warm hats. gary gets to wear alt goth, black, slutty slutty shear shirts and tight pants when the weather gets hot or he's party hardying. shaun goes crazy in the casual graphic tee and long athletic Guy Shorts. all the time. nonstop. unless it's cold and then it's baggy sweaters but still keeping the shorts. mans transed his gender and then went "okay time to embrace my inner Dude Guy by wearing basketball shorts in sub-freezing weather" and he was right. good for him. he was prolly a jorts-in-fall girlie pre-transition.
one i have yet to tackle (because the free-reign potential is INSANE) is scotty. we see him out of uniform only twice, and one time it's Far Future Party Casual, and the other time it. is. COLORFUL and spilling nonbinary swag from every crease. like, people are slipping and falling on it my guy, be more considerate. put up a wet floor sign at the very least, what good it'd do with your fit somehow managing to stand out more than a literal warning sign.
need to get into scones more, that ship is beckoning me. if someone with the files to that trilogy happens to see this, i am desperate. my own searches have been fruitless.
maybe i'll post some sims stuff, i've poured so much time and effort into sculpting these characters and creating barbieland for them.
#whoop thank you so much for the ask as always#will never get over how fun these are to answer#and dude oh my god what a BANGER of a question wowowow.#i won't tag all these characters but i will tag the aos stuff bc you and i both need those movie files#simon pegg#montgomery scott#star trek aos#running my mouth#ask and you shall receive

❤️🎼🎨📚 (for the ask thing :))
omg i feel so special thank u mutual (answers for @sunsets-and-satsumas Star Trek ask game is under the cut because this is a very long post haha)
original post
who’s your comfort character in star trek?
easiest question ever. spocj ❤️❤️❤️ Live laugh love spock. I also really like Kirk but more in like a microwave way. that doesn’t make sense. anyway.
I also love Data, Troi, Wesley, Neelix, T’Lyn, Boimler, and Mariner. I love autism.
What are some songs/music that you associate with Star Trek?
Other than the half of Subspace Rhapsody that’s on my playlist? good question. I love Leonard Nimoys music. I have so many of his songs saved and he’s so talented.
A lot of the TOS cast has music actually. Both Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) and William Shatner (Kirk) have cover songs of varying quality. please listen to Shatners Bohemian Rhapsody, it is a necessity.
I mostly watch TOS (and SNW and LD when they come out)(i’ve watched every star trek thing but those are the ones i think about most) so I really associate slower songs with Star Trek. vaguely sad or whistful slow songs especially. I would link my Spock playlist but I barely add to it and it only has 3 songs I think.
What is your favorite piece of Star Trek fanart?
Oh god 😭 I genuinely don’t know. When I was first re-entering the Star Trek fandom, it was mostly for k/s. (just spent 20 minutes trying to find two very specific drawings but i can’t find them). I don’t think i have a FAVORITE though. If i had to pick I’d say any Star Trek art myself or my mutuals make are the ones I love seeing most ❤️
What is your favorite Star Trek fanfiction?
Purposely not linking any of my own works (yes, some of them ARE my favorite; i made them for me lol). But i pretty much ONLY read k/s. I like other ships but k/s is just my comfort 🤷♂️ here’s some that I’m reading or have bookmarked!:
Controlled Environment by Obsessed_Wraith— I know they have tumblr but I don’t remember/couldn’t find their handle, please tag them if you know it. This fic is currently unfinished, Chapter 6 was uploaded just today, but it is so amazing! please read it.
We Will Meet Again by Darksknight— I love long fics, and this was amazing. It’s very rare that I fully enjoy an AOS fic, but I think this is just a right balance between AOS and TOS. The Tarsus IV chapter(s?) were beautiful and are probably my favorite part, they were so amazing
Undone by my mutual @greengoddesssmoothie — also an incomplete fic, but the emotional turmoil in the beginning chapters were so amazing! the way Spock is characterized in this fic is just so so so fascinating.
If anyone has fic recs, i am in desperate need for more reading material lol. and also a special shoutout to my favorite tropes: Fake dating/marriage, slow burn, soulmates, and angst ❤️
(also, i personally do not read smut so none of the three above have smut i don’t think)
thank you so much for asking me these questions!! this was SO much fun to answer
#star trek#star trek tos#spock#k/s#leonard nimoy#nichelle nichols#william shatner#star trek tng#star trek voyager#star trek lower decks#star trek snw#star trek aos#ask games#ask game

Tag Game (People you want to know better edition!)
I was tagged by @chaosdragonhoard & @dustykneed. Thank ya both for the tags! Feel free to tag me anytime.
3 ships you like: TOS Mcspirk (obviously haha. This ship has pretty much consumed my life). Nuts and Dolts (RWBY Ruby x Penny, I love them so much)! Finally I'll go with Mari'lyn (Mariner x T'lyn I think they could be fun together. Also they have been in four episodes together and already understand each other so well)!
Honorable mention: Josuyasu (JJBA Joksuke x Okuyasu) because come on those two are the best thing about part 4.
First ship ever: Oh probably either Naruto x Hinata (Naruto), or Jordan x Eva Wei (Oban Star Racers), but I don't quite remember. Huh, actually I think it was April x Casey (from TMNT). Yeah cause they were amazing together in the 90 movies and the 03 show!
Last song you heard: Tricky Conversations by Nxdia (This song has huge TOS Spones vibes, but it could also work for AOS Mcspirk).
Favourite childhood book: I don't have a favorite because there's too many to pick. My favorite series was The Five Ancestors. Elementary me spent so much time memorizing the Cantonese words in that series.
Currently reading: Star Trek Dreams of the Raven by Carmen Carter, Star trek My Enemy My Alley by Diane Duane, Star Trek Doctor's Orders by Diane Duane, and The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey.
Currently watching: Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Centaurworld, and JJBA Part 6.
Currently consuming: Water, I'm about to sleep. I had Chicken and noodles for dinner though.
Currently craving: Ice cream. Specifically whatever is in the blue part of the birthday cake flavor ice creams XD. Oh and four cheese cheezits.
Thank yall for the tag again! I'm going to tag @nalascat, @hyphenartist, @ussmcspirk, @kcscribbler, @grainypicofthemoon and @scummybee.
Night everyone!

Fic writer interview
Thanking @sinni-ok-sessi for the tag!
How many works do you have on AO3? 13
What's your total AO3 word count? 50455 - holy shit, a whole nanowrimo!
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Sleeping Arrangements (Good Omens)
Habitual (Good Omens)
Project New Hope (MCU)
Passing the Time (Star Trek:DS9)
With Friends Like These (Star Wars, The Mandalorian)
I think I kind of already knew about the top 3, but I would not have called the last two. Nice to see With Friends LIke These doing well, that was so much fun to write but I never felt like it found its audience, y'know
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Mostly not, alas - it feels very awkward to just repeatedly say Thanks <3, however genuinely and enthusiastically I would mean that! I want emoji reacts to AO3 comments, that's about the level I'm at. That being said, I'll try to make the effort if someone's written me an essay, because it's so cool to get that and I've had some really fun conversations that way
What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? I don't really do angsty endings. I've been known to write angsty fic, but I'm usually ending on an upswing...Story-Wise is probably the closest, being as how it's heavily implied that everybody involved is dead, and also Bilbo walks away at the end, but even that to me is more bittersweet than angsty.
What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending? Not Story-Wise, and probably not Lethe. But with the rest I don't know that there's much between them. The ship ones tend to end with a get-together, the dealing-with-shit ones tend to end on a found family gathering, and the funny ones end on punchlines; they're all happy but no stand-outs, if that makes sense.
Do you write crossovers? Write? Sure. Plan out intricately and in great detail? Absolutely. Finish? Never in my life. I tend to have the idea for a lot of crossovers too, but very few of those ever get started. Off the top of my head, the current list includes a Star Trek AOS/Disney's Atlantis fusion, thousands of words of BBC Merlin is happening in Starfleet now, a few incoherent sentences of post-Burial Mounds Wei Wuxian having absorbed all of its ghosts a la Matthew Swift of Blue Electric Angels fame, three scenes of Person of Interest and Castle, several pages of Phryne Fisher and Diana Prince are besties - ohhhhh, and my beloved "Oh Good, My Sith Found the Chainsaw" Star Wars/Lilo and Stitch nonsense, which is the only one of these I have any intention of finishing.
Have you ever received hate on a fic? Not as far as I remember. The closes I ever got was someone commenting on Project New Hope in a very "trying to start a fight about MCU Civil War" way, but claiming they agreed with my opinion on it despite MCU Civil War very much not happening in that universe. Very odd.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Not really? The closest I've gotten in anything published is the blowjob letter in And With It My Constant Mind, which is more of an extended sext, and the ending of Untitled #3...the theme seems to be Cyrano De Bergerac and blowjobs, so make of that what you will.
Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not as far as I know
Have you ever had a fic translated? No.
Have you ever co-written a fic before? Involves too much unfortunate-ordeal-of-being-known, I'm afraid. I'm in awe of people who do this though, the process mystifies me.
What’s your all-time favorite ship? I am invoking my god-given bisexual right not to choose. I cannot do it. Simply impossible. Cyrano/Christian/Roxane of Cyrano de Bergerac fame is probably a front-runner though.
What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? Lin Chen's Hanahaki Research Project - I was having a lot of fun with character voices and style, and it was challenging me as a writer in interesting ways, but I think it needs more research and investment and full Nirvana in Fire rewatches than I'm ever going to commit to.
What are your writing strengths? Comedy, yearning, and sentences that sound good when you read them aloud.
What are your writing weaknesses? Actually finishing things and comedy (I contain multitudes)
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? Absolutely do not have the confidence to do that, thank you and good night.
What was the first fandom you wrote for? By published work, the MCU, unpublished I was not immune to Supernatural
What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to? Was not expecting this to be the trickiest one to answer, what the heck. Ummm. Idk. I get more enthused by specific ideas than by specific fandoms, I think - if I actively want to write for something it's because I've been Seized By An Idea(TM), Taken Hostage By An Idea, Had My Whole Brain Rewritten To Think Constantly About This Idea, rather than like abstractly, huh, it would be fun to write something for X
What’s your favorite fic you’ve written? I-love-all-of-my-children-equally.gif. No, that's a cop-out. Um. Usually I think whatever I've written most recently gets the most affection, so With Friends Like These is bang at the top. And With It My Constant Mind I suspect is going to have the most longevity at the top of my list, I was living with that one for years and I'm really really proud of how it turned out.
Right, no pressure tagging @starkey @missfangirll @july-19th-club @ereborne and any other writerly folks lurking out there who are interested :D

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks @fridayyy-13th for the tag!
How many works do you have on Ao3?
64!
What's your total Ao3 word count?
Holy...! Uh, 1,700,611. (I should've guessed, I've got some ultra-long fics on there, but Jesus Christ on a cracker.)
What fandoms do you write for?
These days, mostly The Magnus Archives. I've also written for Star Trek (primarily the AOS/Kelvin films), the MCU/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Cut & Run, and RQG. I've got a couple of very, very old Sherlock fics, a couple PJO fics from some ship week challenges I took part in back when the Heroes of Olympus books were still coming out, a couple WTNV fics, a few Star Wars fics that never made it to AO3, and three one-offs.
What are your top five fics by kudos?
leaves too high to touch (roots too strong to fall) - 1,758 kudos
Had He Known It - 777 kudos
Whiskey Lullaby - 395 kudos
It Was Just My Imagination Telling Lies - 378 kudos
Hurry Up and Slow Me Down - 349 kudos
Do you respond to comments?
Every single one! It's half the fun to me.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Ooh...that's a toughie, actually, but I'm going to go with Where the Road Waits to be Taken because it's the only one where the ending focuses on the people left behind.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Also a toughie! But I'm going to go with Love Will Find Out the Way.
Do you get hate on fics?
Not so much anymore. I've been around long enough that I definitely used to, but I write for saner fandoms now.
.Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Not these days. I'm asexual and, while I'm personally sex-averse, my tolerance for it in fiction kind of goes in cycles. I think the last time I wrote an explicit sex scene was in 2016 or 2017.
.Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Heh...I do, on occasion. Most recently the WTNV/TMA crossover (the full extent of which hasn't been published yet), which isn't that crazy. I think the craziest one I wrote was the Sherlock/Star Trek crossover that was also (sigh) a HP AU...which I have deleted, so sorrynotsorry.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not as far as I know, but I don't exactly go looking.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Again, not as far as I know.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Uh...technically? My brother had an idea for a fic, but he wasn't old enough to join any fanfic websites at the time (we were probably the only two kids who never lied about our age on the internet to join websites), so he dictated it to me, I fleshed it out and posted it under my username.
What's your all time favorite ship?
I love so many, but I have to say, the only ship I love that I genuinely can call an OTP in that I cannot fathom them in a relationship with anyone else (even adding anyone else to the equation) is Cecilos. JonMartin is a close second, but, well, I can see (and frequently enjoy) them also having other people in their relationships. Cecil and Carlos? Nuh-uh.
What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Ooh. There are...a couple. But I have a WIP sitting in my Tumblr drafts that was a sequel to Hurry Up and Slow Me Down that I would very much like to finish someday...I just, yeah.
What are your writing strengths?
Angst and heartbreak. I've got a gift for descriptions, and I'm really good at conveying emotion in text. And I think I have a knack for putting together a tasty sentence.
What are your writing weaknesses?
I do tend to get hung up on irrelevant details, and I frequently think myself into a corner. I also think I tend to obsess sometimes about things being perfect...and if I'm being honest, a big weakness of mine (not just in my writing, but in general) is that I often feel like it's something I need to apologize for, which is not helpful.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Oh, I love doing that! I try to put a translation in hover text, and also in a footnote for benefit of screen readers, but I also try not to burden the actual text with translations. It's one of those "trust the reader to know what you're trying to say, and if they can't figure it out from context, you have failed as a writer" things to me. (This may have something to do with the fact that I used to write Star Trek fanfic, and conlangs are a thing.)
First fandom you wrote for?
If you want to get technical, Power Rangers; I used to tell myself stories about the Power Rangers to put myself to sleep at night when I was a little kid, and once I wrote one down and read it out loud for Show and Tell. (The opening line was "One night, when Kimberly and Trini were sleeping, they were stolen," which should tell you everything you need to know about it. In my defense, I was seven.) I didn't know that's what it was at the time, though. If you're talking fandoms that I wrote for knowing it was a fandom and published on the internet...well, I grew up in the '90s and turned thirteen in the early '00s, so it probably shouldn't be that big of a surprise that it was HP.
Favorite fic you've written?
It's like asking me to pick a favorite child. I am deeply in love with to find promise of peace (and the solace of rest) even if the next chapter is currently frustrating me a bit, because I am always deeply in love with my current project, because I love the way it showcases how I've grown as an author. That being said, I think my favorite fic that is currently complete might actually be Tomorrow When the World Is Free.
Tagging (absolutely no pressure) @blasphemous-lies-and-deceit, @amberastra, @magnetarmadda, @astudyinfic, @dyscalculated, and anyone else who wants to give this a go!

20 Questions for Fic Writers
thanks to @fogsblue and @nyxianthe for the tag.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
70 works total
2. What's your total A03 word count?
889,291 (holy hell)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Horizon, mostly
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Flame and Shadow - (Nil/Aloy) - 368
All the World Aflame - (Nil/Aloy) - 280
Toward the Sun (Nil/Kotallo/Aloy) - 273
Glitter and Gore - (Nil/Kotallo/Aloy) - 170
Where the Wanderer Goes - (Nil/Kotallo/Aloy/Fashav) - 165
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I really try, but I'm horrible at it! I always forget to reply and then I always feel super awkward. But just know, I read every single one and love them all SO SO much!
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Toward Them, the angst-heavy spinoff of Toward the Sun (an AU of that fic, if you will)
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Oh man. Most of them have happy endings. I rarely write anything that doesn't have one. The happiest might be Toward the Sun and its sequel, No Shadows in the Sun.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not on the fics, no, but I'm well aware that my tastes skew toward the minority.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes, almost every fic is rated E for exactly that. I write a mixture, MF, MM, and MMF primarily.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I've written a couple. I don't know if they're crossovers or fusions, though. The craziest is probably the Nil/Kotallo How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days fic, Hearts and Diamonds.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of (and I hope it stays that way)
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not yet, but Nyx and I dabbled in a co-universe with the AO Magazine fics.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
Hmm, as engrossed as I've been in Horizon, my ALL-TIME ship would probably be Destiel. I've read sooo many of those fics over the years (although never written one).
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I stubbornly refuse to admit that there are any I won't ever finish, but it may take me a while. 😂
16. What are your writing strengths?
Hmm, I think dialogue comes fairly easily to me. Also smut's not too terribly difficult.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I tend to struggle with remembering to add descriptors. I often have to go back in the editing process and add descriptions of people and things.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I'm not opposed to it by any means, but since I don't know any other languages, I'd be worried about getting it wrong and taking readers who did know that language out of the story. For that reason I'll probably avoid doing it.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Fallout 4
20. Favorite fic you've ever written?
That's a tough one. Maybe G&G. It was incredibly fun to write.
I'm going to tag @wandereringray and @every-raindrop77 but no pressure!

A: Of the fanfic you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?
E: What character do you identify with most? Is there a certain fic of yours that captures these qualities particularly well?
J: What’s your favorite fanfic trope? Have you written it?
T: Any fanfic tropes you can’t stand?
U: Is there a pairing you would like to write, but haven’t tried yet.
V: Are there certain comments you’ve received on your stories that have stuck with you?
Ooo thanks for asking!
A: Of the fanfic you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?
The Art of Seclusion and Caught in the Crossfire. a) they're both complete lol and b) AoS was such a great fic that brought me new friends, new experiences and despite the fact it took 7 years, it makes me really proud because I think it turned out really good. It's like a sum of what I can achieve. Crossfire is such a fun fic that I wrote with my best friend. It started as a fun experiment of how to realistically drop a person in another universe and expanded. It got us both through covid isolation tbh.
E: What character do you identify with most? Is there a certain fic of yours that captures these qualities particularly well?
Personally? Michelle. That's alarming but her and I are similar in a lot of ways in how we keep people at a distance, having anger/control issues, and being completely oblivious when someone is interested in you lol. Crossfire works in this sense.
J: What’s your favorite fanfic trope? Have you written it?
PINING. Also the assertive one of the pairing knowing what they want (the other one) and going after it, no matter what. Also, no surprise, but dropping ocs into fictional worlds. I love it when it's done well. It's fun. Yeah, I've written it...
T: Any fanfic tropes you can’t stand?
Tropes? Not that I can think of off the top of my head. Probably though. There are kinks that throw me right out though, especially if I can't picture the character following them (like daddy kink? throws me right off lol it's cool though, just means YKINMK).
U: Is there a pairing you would like to write, but haven’t tried yet.
Hahaha, no. Nothing stops me from writing what I want. It's a question of whether or not it'll see the light of the day...
V: Are there certain comments you’ve received on your stories that have stuck with you?
Absolutely. Good and bad. I had someone leave this long comment on AoS that was basically "wtf, this isn't tagged properly and is so alarming that people will assume this is okay" which I was like "oh damn" because they were right. It had changed a fair bit from the time I first created the tags, so I updated it, wrote out an authors note being like "remember kids, this is not a healthy relationship" and it has more more diligent about tagging things properly. At the same time, I've had someone leave a giant review on AoS that started with "Oh dear god, my heart is beating so fast, the whole fic triggered my anxiety HARDCORE but I couldn't stop because it was so good!" So it goes both ways. I also have a huge review someone left on Tammy about how much they enjoyed it and defending my choices based on comments others had made. It's fantastic. I keep all the giant reviews in my inbox so I can look at them and get inspired (same way I look over all my comments on my fics lol).

Ask game! Share 10 different favorite characters from 10 different pieces of media in no particular order. Then send this to 10 people (anon or not, your choice). Have fun!
eee hello thank you!! and also @maziktheli for tagging me to do this : ) as soon as you sent this i immediately forgot every piece of media ive ever seen which is why this took like three business days. but here is my list:
✨bee [bee and puppycat]- namesake special interest etc etc i love her!!! i relate to being someone who dresses cute and doesnt know how to function as an adult in a world that forces me to
✨spock [star trek, both tos and aos]- he’s serving LOOKS he has TRAUMA he’s constantly fighting between two sides of himself and he loves jim kirk more than anything in the world. aos spock gets a special card for being more pathetic
✨lio [promare]- i’ve had this twink for like a month and i love him so much he has so much resting on his shoulders!!! he’s badass!!!! he’s pretty!!! he is also not immune to the siren call of a himbo
✨grace [infinity train (rip)]- oh grace 🥲 i love stories that dont show people as good or bad and nothing in between. grace is a character who makes choice after choice, some good some bad, and doesnt let her past choices define her even as she learns from them. also she’s pretty
✨ catra [she-ra and the princesses of power]- she’s just so good and strong and makes her own family
✨ baz [simon snow series]- a gay VAMPIRE with so much self-pity and trauma 😭😭😭 my most pathetic creature i love him
✨ laurent [captive prince]- imagine me just humming autistically i have too many thoughts about him
✨ victor [yuri on ice]- i also have autistic thoughts about him he has so much love to give and he’s been so alone for so long and yuuri sees him
✨ nico di angelo [pjo]- i have autistic AND trans thoughts about him
✨ zuko [atla]- i am not immune to boys with trauma…. also autism-coded

NINE PEOPLE ID LIKE TO KNOW BETTER
omg i never expected to get tagged in one of these tag games but here we are!! thank you @goatedtoasts !
LAST SONG: i listened to ロストチャイリド by Diaura last! i try to listen to different genres of music as much as i can and since i spent most of the past months getting into scene & goth music (& some polish) i thought visual kei and jpop would be a fun divergence of what ive been listening to lately
CURRENTLY WATCHING: sticking to a singular show is the. hardest thing for me. i always get distracted or drop it. but yesterday & today i was watching Sweet Tooth and Sweet Home (double the sweet)
CURRENTLY READING: I JUST finished rereading a book very dear to my heart: The Power of Poppy Pendle by Natasha Lowe. it was one of the first books i owned as a kid it means a lot to me and its surprisingly an emotional rollercoaster abt what its like to have controlling parents and how it affects a childs mind (done in a way that makes sense to kids though. also theres witchcraft and baking both things i love!)
CURRENT OBSESSION: i feel guilty saying this for some reason but ive been OBSESSED w RPG Maker and older horror games. i think Fear & Hunger just sparked back that joy i had playing games like Ao Oni or Corpse Party and somehow along the way i found out about Rule of Rose an amazing ps2 horror title, then Clock Tower and it all just kept rolling from there lol
tagging some people id like to know! oh boy im ngl im not very. active(?) online for social purposes so finding people is gonna be a little hard lol
edit: ive been on tumblr for years and have no idea how to check who is mutuals with me ive been trying for 10 min now. this is what i get for not being social media savy..
if youre a mutual with me feel free to make your own post and remember to tag me i want to see your post :D!!!
#not sure how to tag this#tag game#??? is that right#oh well.#ive been on tumblr since 2017 i should not be this bad at figuring this site out as i am

wip tag meme
tagged by @181230 and @ulfie-by-osmosis thanks for the tag bestie <3
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your wip folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it.
okay so i opened quotev after a while for this and here's what i found!
my main wips (aka the ones i think about most / have most focus on)
the price of war: this is a riordanverse fic. to sum it up briefly, it's got an overpowered mc who passes out as much as hearthstone, and not a lot of happy stuff
shattered: this is literally just a feel-good fic about a bunch of queer friends and overcomplicated storylines. (it's set in marauders era - i will address this under the cut if for some reason u want to know about fandom stuff)
goldfish (aka heather): the lily rosier fic, no description needed bc she is world famous actually
demons: a marauders/pjoverse murder mystery
????: set in the star wars universe, it follows one of my ocs who's present in every fic i write and i view as a personification of the timeline. it's a bunch of angst and just super fun for me
trans gwen au: @ulfie-by-osmosis beloved, title says it all
fate and time: a mattfoggy fic inspired by the themes of the starless sea. i love mattfoggy sm they are gay ok goodnight
the ones i am not as focused on / other wips include the following. some of them have 0 written fic content
broken world: this is literally my mcu brainchild fic. it's mcu-universe compliant except aos was canon and my oc exists. she's desi btw and married to daisy and i love them
whatever it takes: to be honest, i forgot this existed. it's set in the shadowhunters universe and spans like. all the shit to be honest. it's a universe at this point
broken blades: it's set in the same multiverse as broken world is, but it's set in the fox x-men universe and follows a different oc. (for eye ra, her name is cas)
broken space: this is the timeline lady from ???? except make it mcu. yes there is a theme i am aware. yes the stories overlap. no they are incredibly different and quirky and unique
unbroken: this is my game of thrones fic! that takes place mainly in my head! it has three main ocs of mine. one is the timeline lady (re: ???? above) and struggles between keeping a promise to a dead friend and her present loyalties, one is hellbent on revenge for her brother's death, and the last is trying to escape the war
saving grace (title is under works): four best friends. chaos. absolutely no content available. hp era
oh my god we're all gonna die (title is under works): four best friends. chaos. absolutely no content available. pjo/hoo era
roses of summer: this is marauders again and loosely based off august by taylor swift
the lucky one: this is set in the mcu (mine maybe, maybe not) and it. doesn't really have a plot tbh; still a wip
i'm pretty sure i missed a bunch of fics but this is all my brain could come up with so YEAH
tags: @dishaashitposts and anyone else interested!
RE hp fics - i do not support jkr and the things she's said about the trans community. at the same time, i acknowledge that the harry potter books and universe have been so important in my personal life and i do not want to separate that. i have had fanfics before the onslaught of transphobia, and to be honest, i don't really need to sit and justify my writing of fics to strangers on the internet. a shit ton of these fics are purely for my personal enjoyment. they are my brainchildren. they make me happy. if u read this for whatever reason, i hope u have a lovely day and take care <3

Thank you for the tag, @ryder616!
This tag game has unexpectedly led to an interesting discussion about what exactly an “Endgame Ship” means... which seems to be largely open to interpretation. I’m still not sure how I see that term, but for the purposes of this post, but to narrow it down and not mention way too many ships, I’ll take Endgame in two different meanings: for “Favorite Ship(s) That’s Endgame”, I’ll take it to mean pairings that were together and in a happy relationship at the end of the story. But for “Ship(s) You Wish Had Been Endgame”, I will take “Not Endgame” to mean that the ship was not treated as these characters’ main romance at the end of the show, or at least there was a lot of ambiguity and/or a rival ship for one or both characters was instead the current one at the end of the story. (A lot of my favorite ships have the tendency to end up unhappily in spite of being portrayed as the main romance of the story..)
Warning: this post contains spoilers for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Agents of SHIELD, The Hunger Games, The Leftovers, The Americans and The 100 (though if you’ve spent any time on my blog, you’ve certainly already been spoiled for the ending of The 100) and .
1. First Ship - When I was about 4 or 5, I was obsessed with Lady and the Tramp (I had a book version with a few pictures and it fell apart from how much I was reading it - it may have been my first book that wasn’t mostly a picture book), so I guess my first ship was two dogs (which is really appropriate, since I love dogs). If we’re talking TV, again going back to my childhood, before puberty and before I even knew what “shipping” was, I remember being pleasantly surprised when Raquel first appeared on Only Fools and Horses as a love interest for Del Boy - the show was an episodic comedy where the two brothers, in the early years, usually didn’t have a serious love interest. I thought “oh, he really is in love with her! And she feels the same, and they are so cute together.” I hoped she’d come back and wouldn’t just be a one episode character but a long-term LI. And then I was so happy when that very much did happen. I guess this can be considered the start of my TV shipping (and also an early sign of my love for contuinity and longer arcs on TV).
2. First OTP - Ignoring pre-puberty: at the age of 12, I was really obsessed with Wuthering Heights and Heathcliff and Cathy and read the book who knows how mny times. Regarding TV, I’ve shipped over the years, but I guess the first TV ship I would really call my OTP was in This Life, a 1990s UK drama about a bunch of 20-somethings in London, which I watched on TV in 2001. which now sadly seems almost forgotten. Anna and Miles had an on-off, love-hate relationship throughout - they were sexy, snarky, and it was painfully obvious that they were in love, but these idiots had trouble admitting it to themselves and even more to each other. If it had been a romcom, they would’ve been certain to end up together, but it was a realistic drama.
3. Current Favorite Ship - Bellarke - oh, what an OTP of all OTPs that was before it was stupidly destroyed out of spite. Over the last couple of years, Dark (season 3 mostly) made me really love Jonas and Martha (the first pairing I’ve made gifsets about), and most recently (last month!), I binged Halt and Catch Fire and fell in love with the show and with Joe and Cameron’s relationship (which, I just realized now, shows that my taste in OTPs hasn’t changed in 20 years).
If we’re talking current as in, in current shows rather than finished ones, then Kanej (Shadow and Bone), Harlivy (Harley Quinn), Gereon and Charlotte (Babylon Berlin) and Roy and Keeley (Ted Lasso).
4. Your ship since the first minute - I really rarely ship anything from the first minute (unless we’re talking Morticia and Gomez, who are of course already a perfect couple and nothing ever changes there). It usually takes time for me to fall for a ship. A rare exception is Roy and Keeley - their first one-on-one scene in S1 already had huge OTP vibes.
5. Ship(s) You Wish Had Been Endgame - Do I even have to say it? BELLARKE. A hundred times Bellarke, who were portrayed as endgame before the showrunner decided to retcon and ruin them together with the show overall.
Others: Jessica and Luke in Netfix Narvel shows, May and Andrew on AoS, Willow and Oz; or, depending on how you interpret Endgame, Willow/Tara (some argue that it is Endgame as Tara is definitely portrayed as the love of Willow’s life regardless of everything else). Spuffy (again, there are different opinions as to its status as both the show and the comics ended ambiguously and tried not to have a clear Endgame pairing for Buffy’s character), Xander/Anya (if you take comics into account).
6. Ship You Wish Was Canon - Some would say Bellarke, again, but I tend to consider it canon. It’s debatable, for sure (if you only consider making out/sex and/or “I love you” as markers of canon, it is not canon; if it is enough for the show to make it so blatant in the first 6 seasons that you have to actively search for ways to deny it to make it sound platonic, and for actors to confirm it was portrayed as romantic- than it is.)
So my answer would be: Kastle (Netflix Marvel shows), QuakeRider (AoS), and Octavia and Diyoza (The 100) and maybe Faith and Buffy (mostly in the sense that canon could have explored the nature of Faith’s feelings for Buffy a bit more and a bit more openly).
7. Ship that Most of the Fandom Hates, but You Love - Angel and Darla, May and Andrew, Coulson and Rosalind (hated how it ended though). Miller and Bryan (because they were more interesting than Mackson, and Bryan had a personality), Though “ships that most of the fandom ignores” would be a more apt term. The one that most of the fandom does hate and I like it is Octavia/Ilian - I liked it for what it was, two damaged people finding comfort together in what could have grown into something more - instead of the “we’re ve just met and talked to each other once and we’re already IN LOVE!” trope that the writers of The 100 were so fond of.
8. You Don’t Even Watch the Show, but You Ship It - Why would I ship something from a show I don’t watch?
9. Ship That You Wish Had A Different Storyline - BELLARKE (duh - the ending). Veronica and Logan (the ending, again). Coulson/Rosalind - they had such an interesting and fun dynamic that could have been explored much more; instead, the writers opted for one of the worst tropes there are, and I hated that entire plotline for so many reasons. Tyrol and Boomer on Battlestar Galactica - what they did with Boomer was crap. Baltar and Caprica - all the bad writing in season 4. This is a weird example of a ship that I shipped so hard for 3 seasons and that was given Endgame in every sense of the word, but, by that point, I barely cared anymore, because the writers forgot about their relationship throughout the final season and made it seem like they didn’t even remember each other, and then slapped a last minute happy ending. Plus they retconed/explained their connection in such a stupid and anticlimactic way that ruined it retroactively.
10. Favorite Ship(s) That’s Endgame - Everlark, Nora and Kevin (The Leftovers), Philip and Elizabeth (The Americans), and Josh and Della on Night and Day (a really obscure early 2000s UK show that was watched by maybe 100 people.) Some others worth mentioning: FitzSimmons, Niles and Daphne, Tim and Dawn (original UK The Office), Jake and Amy, Memori (the only bright spot in a rubbish ending). And of course, there’s Morticia and Gomez, though they are less Endgame and more AlwaysGame.

Heyy, I saw your prompt list— could you maybe do Mackelena (with a side of Philinda and Huntingbird, if possible) and soulmates? Congrats of 111 followers!!
Thank you so much!!! I hope you enjoy this-- it's my first AOS fic so here goes nothing!
Pairing: Alphonso Mackenzie/Elena Rodriguez (minor Philinda and Huntingbird)
Word Count: 3,143
Tags/Warnings: rated G (for giant simp, which Mack is, good talk), character death mentioned, as is divorce
For most of his life, Mack had believed in soulmates. He’d grown up being taught that he’d meet someone, and when they first touched, their respective soulmate marks-- for him, a mark on his right hand, very dark brown streaked through with honey-gold-- would light up, and they would share a Moment. A brief snippet of time from the future that would show them their life together, if they chose to move forward with their relationship.
Some didn’t. Mack knew people who hadn’t stayed with their soulmate. But he’d seen, overwhelmingly, that when a person found their soulmate and stuck with them, they were far happier than if they didn’t.
He’d always thought that the only woman he’d ever be in a serious relationship with would be his soulmate. But then he’d met Nicole. The two of them had fallen hard and fast, and even now, after their divorce, Mack would never say he regretted it. Regretted how it ended, yes. But he had loved Nicole, even if she hadn’t been his soulmate.
Some days, Mack wasn’t sure if he’d ever find his soulmate. But he was fine with that for now, fine working at the mechanic shop that he co-owned. He had friends around him, and he visited his brother whenever he could. So he’d wait, and that was okay for now.
There were days, though, when he wondered. Was there really one woman waiting out there for him somewhere?
The sound of arguing broke Mack out of his musings, and he looked up from the car just as Fitz stalked into the back of the garage, looking irritated. Running a hand through his already messy hair, he said, “I’ve had about enough of this, it’s your turn. Have fun.”
“Have fun with what?” Mack asked, wiping his hands off on the rag he had resting next to his toolbox. “Something wrong, Turbo?”
Clearly trying to calm himself, Fitz took a deep breath and pointed over his shoulder. “There’s an irate customer out there, demanding that we hurry up and fix her car. I tried telling her that we’ve got a queue and we’re going to start on hers soon, but she didn’t exactly give me a chance. She wants to talk to the mechanic who’s working on her car.”
“Which name is that?” Mack asked.
“Rodriguez-- she’s on your list, I think.”
“Great.” Suppressing a grimace, Mack set aside the rag and headed towards the door that separated the garage where they worked and their main office. “I’ll be back in a minute or two.”
“If you’re lucky,” Fitz muttered.
Ignoring that, Mack stepped through the doorway. He spotted the customer almost immediately-- a Latina woman with dark brown hair braided back from her face, dressed in a black leather jacket and jeans. She caught sight of him and stomped up towards him. “Oh, you must be the turtle man who’s working on my car,” she said, her low voice furious.
One of Mack’s eyebrows shot up, despite himself. “Turtle man? We’ve only had the car for a couple weeks.”
“Yes, and I need it fixed,” the woman said emphatically. “Fast, so why don’t you get a move on? If I’d known you were going to take all year--”
Holding up his hands, Mack said, “I understand you’re upset, Ms. Rodriguez. But one of our best workers quit last week, and we’re having a hard time catching up. Obviously we’ll get your car done as soon as possible, but there are a few other cars before it. I should be done with them over the next few days, and I will personally make sure that your car is taken care of. Does that sound fair?”
Ms. Rodriguez eyed him for a moment, looking skeptical, but then let out a sigh. “Okay. I’m-- I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were short-staffed.”
“Nothing we can’t handle, it’s just a little backlog,” Mack assured her. “But I promise you, Ms. Rodriguez, your car will be one of the next ones.”
“Good to know,” she said with a nod. “And you can call me Elena. I mean, it’s the least I can do considering I kind of chewed out your friend back there. And you.”
Releasing a chuckle, Mack said, “Fitz can handle it. You can call me Mack, and we’ll call you as soon as your car is ready.”
Shaking her head, Elena said, “Oh, I don’t think so, Turtleman.”
“Sorry?” Mack asked, caught off guard.
“After how long it’s taken already? I’m coming back here to make sure you don’t start ignoring me again. I’ll be back in two days. See you then.”
With that, Elena breezed out of the office, leaving Mack with his mouth open as he stared after her. Huh, he thought, eventually turning to head back to his work. It looked like he’d be seeing a lot more of this Elena.
Sure enough, Elena was back two days later, just as Mack finished work on the last car and had started an assessment to see what was wrong with Elena’s. The short answer was, he soon learned, everything. This car was not going to be a short project.
When he told Elena that, she just shrugged. “Guess you’ll be seeing me a lot, Turtleman. Get used to it, and get to work.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Mack said, hiding a grin as he headed off to find his toolbox.
~ ~ ~
“Soulmates definitely aren’t real,” Bobbi told him.
Mack raised a skeptical eyebrow at his friend. “What makes you say that?” he asked, taking a sip of his drink. They were at a bar, celebrating the promotion Bobbi had gotten at her job-- although Mack had a feeling there was another reason they were here. He’d known Bobbi long enough that he could figure it out when there was something she wanted to tell him.
“It doesn’t make any sense, scientifically,” Bobbi explained. “And it’s definitely not logical. I mean, touching someone and you see the future? It doesn’t really make any sense, Mack.”
“Maybe not,” Mack admitted, deciding not to expand on his own theories in that area. “But there’s a lot about love that doesn’t make sense, and it’s not like the whole world had one mass hallucination.”
“Maybe not,” Bobbi said, sounding skeptical. “But unless you can provide me with a scientific explanation for it, I’d say it’s a load of bull.”
“Uh-huh,” Mack said. “So the soulmate thing had nothing to do with the fact that you’re back with Hunter again?”
“Of course not--” Bobbi stopped. “Wait. You knew?”
“Didn’t take much to put it back together,” Mack said wryly. “You only take me out for drinks out of the blue like this when you need to tell me something important, and it’s usually about you and him. Also, he changed his Facebook photo to you and him again.”
“Wha-- I told him to be subtle!” Bobbi let out a groan, burying her face in her hands. “He is so typical.”
“So, you are back together,” Mack said, and he saw a small smile start across Bobbi’s face.
“Well… yeah. We are. We’re taking it slow, and he’s at least trying to not make soulmate comments-- but that’ll last.” Giving him a sideways glance, Bobbi asked, “How do you feel about this?”
“What, you and Hunter?” Mack took another drink to avoid answering right away. “I’m happy for you two, obviously. I just don’t want to see either of you hurt again. I’ve had to bail Hunter out of too many drunk tanks for that.”
“I know-- that’s part of why we’re taking it slow this time,” Bobbi said with a laugh. “For your sanity.”
“My sanity appreciates the effort, but I’m not the one in the relationship,” Mack pointed out. “It’s up to you two, not me. But seriously, I am happy for you guys.”
“Thanks, Mack,” Bobbi said. “By the way, I might have asked Hunter if he’d meet us for dinner nearby.”
“I had a feeling there was another part to the plan,” Mack said. “Well, if you two are paying, I’m in.”
They made their way to the restaurant where Hunter was waiting, and had just settled down at the table with him and were starting to flip through the menus to order when Mack’s phone buzzed.
“Ah-- hang on one minute,” he told them, pulling out his phone and checking it. He was pleasantly surprised to see it was a text from Elena, who had gotten his phone number the second time she’d come by the garage, in order to ‘make sure he was keeping on task’ in her words.
The text held an image of a turtle, and the words, at the zoo earlier. I think I found your long lost brother.
Mack found himself grinning as he texted back, For someone who wants their car fixed fast, you’re not very nice to the guy fixing it.
Elena’s response was quick. What, are you gonna not fix it now? I found your long lost brother! Mack chuckled as her next text came a few seconds later. Besides, you’re too much of a softie to refuse to finish the job for me.
Guess you know me too well, Mack responded.
Well enough to know you’re a softie.
Shaking his head, Mack put away his phone and looked up to see Bobbi and Hunter watching him, both wearing sly grins. “Who was that?” Hunter asked, innocence dripping from his tone.
“Just a friend,” Mack said. He knew better than to give Hunter too much information when he was in a mood like this. Grabbing his menu, he flipped it open and started browsing, ignoring the sly looks that Bobbi and Hunter exchanged. He was going to get interrogated about this, he knew already. But there would be nothing for them to find out. Elena was just a friend, after all.
~ ~ ~
“By the way, soulmates are definitely real,” Phil Coulson told him.
Mack gave him a surprised look as he took the paper bag from the older man. He’d stopped at Phil’s coffee shop on the way into work, as he did from time to time, and was picking up coffee and desserts for the shop. “Why do you bring that up?” he asked.
Shrugging, Phil said, “Something Bobbi and Hunter mentioned when they were in here yesterday.”
“Let me guess-- Hunter brought up him and Bobbi being soulmates again?” Mack said, grinning wryly.
“Surprisingly, no,” Phil said as he rang up his bill. “They were discussing you. Hunter is under the impression you’ve met your soulmate for some reason, and Bobbi was telling them that they don’t exist.”
“Huh. Sounds about right,” Mack said, trying to hide his surprise. Although it shouldn’t shock him that Hunter immediately made the leap from “texting someone he likes” to “he has a soulmate and hasn’t told us”. Bobbi would probably handle things a little more cautiously, thankfully. “Looks like I’d better tell him he’s wrong.”
“Really? No one yet?” Phil asked.
Mack shrugged as he handed over cash for the order. “I have no idea who she is or where she is. I have been married before, but I guess that was part of why we didn’t last. Part of it, anyway.”
Nodding, Phil said, “I know the feeling. I was in love quite a few times before May and I finally met.”
“Really?” Mack said in surprise.
“Sure. Just because there’s one specific person out there for you doesn’t mean you won’t be attracted to other people. It’s normal.” Putting the cash in the register, Phil said, “But there’s something different about the woman who’s the one for you. I could tell right away that she was special. Just took a while for us to realize just what was different.”
“What he’s not telling you,” came the voice of Melinda May as she came in through the front door, a duffel bag over her shoulder, “is that it took us two years to finally figure out that we were soulmates, and it was only because he’d just been hit by a car and I had to give him CPR.” She held up one hand, stained a sunny yellow.
“We all find love in different ways,” Phil said, giving May a soft, loving grin. “How was class?”
“We’ve got some new idiots to beat up on,” May replied, moving behind the counter to drop a kiss onto her husband’s cheek. “And Daisy kicked a practice dummy through a wall, so she’s getting even better.”
“My wife and daughter are terrifying,” Phil said, grinning even wider. “Here’s your change, Mack.”
“Oh-- thanks.” Pocketing it, Mack gave May and Phil a nod before heading out the door and down the street.
It only took him a few minutes to walk the short distance back to the garage, and when he got there, he found a familiar, slight figure waiting for him next to her car, with a sly grin on her face.
“Late again, Turtleman,” Elena teased him as Mack set the paper bag down on the nearest clean surface.
“I’m pretty sure you’re always here early, Yo-Yo,” he told her.
“Yo-Yo?” Elena lifted a curious eyebrow at him.
“Yeah, cause you keep coming back here.”
“You’d almost think you minded me showing up,” she teased as Mack pulled open the paper bag and pulled out two disposable cups of coffee.
Handing her one, he said, “I don’t mind.”
The smile Elena shot at him was brighter than the sunshine coming through the window in the corner, and it warmed Mack as he got to work.
~ ~ ~
“Hey, Mack?”
Mack looked up from his work on Elena’s car to where Daisy was sitting in the back of her dad’s 1962 Chevy Corvette, which he affectionately referred to as “Lola.” However, Lola needed a little work done, so Phil had relinquished the car into Daisy’s hands, and she’d brought it to Mack for him to look at.
“What’s up, Tremors?” he asked.
Daisy didn’t respond right away, fiddling with the edge of her jacket as she bit her lip. “Do you believe in soulmates?” she blurted out.
One of Mack’s eyebrows shot up, and he almost asked what prompted the question-- but stopped abruptly as he remembered what day it was. A year to the day since Daisy’s boyfriend, Lincoln, had died when a robber had broken into his house and shot him when he’d tried to protect Daisy. The man had been arrested, but Mack knew that only soothed part of the pain for his friend.
“I do,” he said cautiously-- he’d never learned whether Lincoln was Daisy’s soulmate or not. Regardless, he decided to speak the truth. “I believe in soulmates. But I also believe you can be truly, deeply in love with a person who’s not your soulmate. It doesn’t make them any less important to you and your life.”
Daisy jerked a quick nod, staring determinedly up at the ceiling. “He wasn’t mine,” she said suddenly. “Lincoln. May and Dad already know, but I just…” She trailed off, blinking hard.
Mack nodded slowly. “Maybe he wasn’t. But I knew Lincoln. He was happy with you, and he loved you. In the end, that might matter more than being someone’s soulmate.”
Taking a deep breath, Daisy nodded. “Thanks, Mack.”
“Any time, Tremors.”
They dropped into silence after that, until Mack heard someone knock on the office door. “Hey, Mack!”
Mack felt a smile crossing his face as he moved from behind the car to see Elena strolling towards him, hands in her pockets. “Hey, Yo-Yo,” he said, and Elena returned the smile.
“You know, the nickname is growing on me, Turtleman.” Turning her gaze to the car behind him, she said, “So? Do you have good news for me?”
“I do,” Mack said, patting the side of her car. “After almost a month of work, I finally finished it. Your car is finally fixed.”
A grin flashed across Elena’s face. “About time-- but thank you. I owe you. Literally and figuratively. I probably owe you for all that coffee you bought me.”
Waving a hand, Mack said, “Don’t worry about it. I was happy to do it.” He paused, the reality of it finally hitting him. If his work was finished… he wouldn’t be seeing Elena again.
No sense in moping about it, he told himself sternly. Grabbing the keys from the table next to him, he dropped them in Elena’s outstretched hand. “All yours,” he told her.
Elena nodded, stuffing the keys in her pocket. “Thanks, Mack.” She paused for a second, then extended a hand to shake.
Mack blinked in surprise-- he hadn’t expected such a formal goodbye. But he went to shake her hand, and it was only as his fingers were curling around hers that he noticed the dark blue soulmark on her palm.
A flash of light radiated from their hands, and Mack felt himself transported away from the garage:
He was sitting on the couch in his apartment, leaning back and relaxing. He could hear voices in the kitchen-- a man’s baritone, and Daisy laughing-- and music was emanating from a radio a little ways away.
A soft noise from next to him caught his attention, and he glanced over to see Elena, curled up next to him, her head resting on his chest as she hummed along to the song. Mack wrapped an arm around her and dropped a kiss onto her forehead, and she let out a soft noise. “Te amo,” she whispered, and Mack felt a smile pull at the corner of his mouth.
“Love you back,” he said as a wave of contentment swept over him.
Mack’s eyes snapped open and caught hold of Elena’s. To his shock, a slow smile was spreading across her face. “I knew it,” she said.
“Oh, you knew it?” Mack said, trying to steady his voice. “How exactly did you know it?”
“You’ve got your mark on your hand, too,” she said with a shrug. “Other than that… put it together, Turtleman. I wasn’t just hanging around here waiting for my car. Well, other than the first time.”
Mack felt a smile start to grow on his own face, and then another voice broke through his thoughts.
“Holy. Crap.”
Both of them looked at where Daisy was still lounging in her dad’s car, her eyes wide and a huge grin on her face. “This is awesome,” she said.
Mack exchanged a look with Elena. “I’ll call you?” he offered, and Elena snorted.
“Knowing you? I’ll call you first, Turtleman.” Shooting him a wink, she turned and strolled out of the garage, a spring in her step. For a long minute, Mack watched her, feeling himself grinning like an idiot. Then he turned back to his work, making a mental note to learn Spanish.

Can I request a Star Trek AOS Bones X Reader where they have an away mission to an abandoned/taken over starbase and they get separated from the main group and have to survive (whoever took it over) and get back to the enterprise? Maybe throw in a baby or small child they have to protect?
I don't do a lot of asks lol I have no idea if I'm doing this right. 😅😬 I love your writing by the way it's really, really good!
Yay a Star Trek request!
Thank you so much for this request I had a lot of fun doing it!
Thank you so much! It means so much to hear that :D
Title: Rescue
Everything tag list: @greenrevolutionary
You could feel Bones’s glare on the back of your head as you made your way through the corridors of the star ship. The Enterprise had received a distress call from them and Kirk had immediately leapt into action. It had been an unusually quiet couple of months and everyone could tell he was becoming restless.
“How much further did you say it was to the emergency shuttles?” asked Bones
“Not long.”
“You said that five minutes ago.”
You sighed and stopped walking and turned around to face him. Bones continued to glare at you but you couldn’t take him seriously when he was holding a small child in his arms. The two of you weren’t meant to be on board the ship but a panicked parent started screaming that his child was still on board. You didn’t give anyone the chance to stop you before you ran back on board. Unfortunately you hadn’t realised that Starfleet’s grumpiest doctor had followed you.
“I know these old ships,” you said, “Had to study them to become an engineer. Starfleet always has a few on commission.”
You moved to fold your arms and winced. When you are Bones arrived back on the ship it had lurched suddenly to the side causing you to smash into a wall. You were pretty sure that it wasn’t broken but Bones wasn’t taking any chances. He had made a make shift sling for your arm until you were back on the Enterprise.
“Now let’s hurry,” you said turning back around, “The soon we find these shuttles the sooner we can get back.”
“And the sooner we can give this child back,” muttered Bones, “You and you bleeding heart.”
“I thought Kirk was the one with the bleeding heart,” you said, “He was the one who-“
You cut off and almost let out a string of curse words but managed to stop yourself just in time. The child looked between you and Bones as Bones said,
“What’s happened now?”
“You know those shuttles.”
“Yeah?”
“Take a look.”
Bone walked over next to you and sighed.
“Oh shi-“ he looked at the child, “Shoot.”
All the remaining shuttles had been destroyed. You ran your fingers through your hair and started pacing.
“What do we do now? How can we fix these?”
“I’m a Doctor not an engineer. That’s your department.”
“Fu- Shi-,” you managed to stop yourself from wearing and punched the wall, “We’re not going to get out of here are we?”
“Careful,” said Bones, “You don’t want to damage your other hand.”
You slid down the wall and put your head in your hands. You were going to die on a burnt up star ship with someone who clearly didn’t like you. Even if by some miracle the two of you survived you had burnt any bridges with getting close to Bones. Damn him for being so handsome.
“Hey,” Bones sat down next to you, “Don’t be like that. Jim will find a way to get us out of this mess. And besides,” he looked down at the now sleeping child, “You went back to save a life.”
“And you followed,” you said looking up at him, “Why did you follow.”
“Well,” Bones said quickly, “Someone needed to make sure that you didn’t die or injure yourself. Speaking of which,” he held out his hand, “Let me see how badly you’ve injured yourself.”
“Nothing’s broken,” you said, “I can still move my fingers.”
“I’ll be the judge of that.”
Bones gently took your hand in his and brushed his fingers over your knuckles. You winced slightly which caused him to raise an eyebrow.
“Not broken you said.”
“Just because they’re not broken doesn’t mean that they don’t hurt.”
“Well luckily you’re correct. Just bruised slightly. Easy fix once we get back to the Enterprise.”
“Good.”
“You’re arm in another story. You’ll probably going to have to remain in the med bay for a couple of days.”
“I can think of worst ways to spend my time.”
“Is that so?”
“Well,” you gave him a shy smile, “As long as I’m under the watchful care of Doctor McCoy.”
“I wouldn’t trust anyone to look after you.”
You turned bright red much to the amusement of Bones.
“Umm Bones.”
“Yes.”
“You’re still holding my hand.”
“You want me to let go.” Said Bones with a hint of disappointment in his voice
“Not really,” you said, “But I-“
A crackle above your head made you and Bones look up.
“Enterprise to Octavian. Enterprise to Octavian.”
“What the-“
It was Chekov.
“Do you hear me? Enterprise to-“
“Bones!” yelled Kirk, “Y/n! Answer us!”
“Dammit Jim,” yelled Bones as he jumped to his feet and pushed the button on the communicator, “We heard you!”
You heard Kirk let out a sigh of relief. However that didn’t last for very long. The shouting had woken up the child who had started crying. Bones groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose.
“I hear you found the child.”
The amusement in Kirk’s voice was clear and you guessed that if he was in front of Bones he would’ve tried to punch him.
“Please give us some good news. Can you get us out of here?”
“Yes,” replied Chekov quickly, “I have locked onto you and should be teleporting you out of there soon.”
“Great,” said Bones as he offered you his hand, “We should be out of here soon.”
You had been trying to calm the child down with no success. Bones just shook his head at your attempts and once you were standing he picked up the child who quickly calmed down.
“You’re a natural.” you said smiling
“Comes with practice darling.”
You gave him a small smile at the nickname and blushed when you felt his hand brush against yours. The two of you moved away from each other as you were teleported off of the ship and back to the Enterprise. Neither of you wanted any rumours to start about the two of you but as soon as you saw the Captain’s face you knew that it was a pointless wish.
Sometimes you thought that Captain Kirk was a little too invested in his friend’s love life.

Come Back To Bed II Leonard McCoy x Reader
This drabble is part of my 800 Follower Celebration!
Summary: A stormy day on a strange planet and a needy Doctor demand your attention.

A/N: I had so much fun writing for Bones again! Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for sending in the request, love! <33
Words: 688
Pairing: Leonard McCoy (AOS) x fem!Reader
Warnings: fluff
„Leonard, Len, wake up!“
In complete awe, you stared out of the two huge windows across your bed. The small hotel room was overlooking a huge forest, giving a perfect view of the oncoming storm. Outside, the sky had darkened and you could almost the creaking of the trees which began to sway in the wind. The planet you were on at the moment was old and ancient and as thunder rumbled for the first time, a shiver went down your spine. The pure, ferocious force behind it made you grab the sheets and pull them up a little higher, leaving you feeling small and vulnerable. Then all of the sudden, the gates in the sky opened and masses of water fell down, clattering against the windows and roof with a deafening sound.
Or … wait, was that even water?
“Leonard!”, you called his name again, softly nudging him with your elbow.
The doctor next to you grumbled and tried to bury his face deeper into the pillow.
“Wake up, look!”
Another groan followed but he finally opened his eyes, looking at you sleepily. “What is it, darling?”, he said and yawned.
“The rain,” was all you managed to get out.
With a sigh, Leonard slowly sat up. “Oh.”
The rain was … red. A dark red, reminding you of the colors of your Starfleet uniform. It kept on pouring down, leaving streaks on the glass, changing the colors of the leaves outside.
“It’s beautiful,” you whispered.
“It reminds me of a horror movie,” Leonard stated dryly. Then he moved closer to you, pulling you in his arms. “You’re beautiful, though,” he muttered, planting a kiss on your hair.
You giggled. “Well, you’re not so bad yourself.” Turning your attention back to the rain, you asked: “Why do you think it’s red?”
He shrugged. “Ask Spock, he probably knows. Something to do with chemicals and science.” He moved again so that he had now access to your neck. Immediately, Leonard began to pepper it with soft kisses.
You chuckled. “Thank you, Dr. McCoy for that enlightening answer.”
You could feel Leonard smiling against your skin and you closed your eyes, enjoying his touch. Oh, how you wished you could stay like this for the rest of your days.
“What do you say, darling,” Leonard murmured. “We stay in bed the whole day today. This weather is practically an invitation to do so…”
“Mhh,” you sighed. “I wish, we could. But I promised Jim to have breakfast with him in,” you glanced at the watch on the nightstand, “exactly fifteen minutes.”
You didn’t have to see his face to know that he rolled his eyes. “And you have to join him on this secret diplomat meeting before lunch,” you added and sat up to look at him. He wore a smirk on his lips, gazing at you in a way that made you want to cancel everything and just crawl back under the sheets with him.
“We can cancel, y’know,” he suggested as if he had read your mind.
You shook your head and quickly planted a soft kiss on his lips before getting out of bed.
“We can call Jim and say you’re sick,” he proposed when you went into the bathroom to get into your uniform and freshen up.
“From your room? He’s gonna be here in warp speed, kicking your ass when he finds out you seduced his little sister.”
You could hear Leonard laugh in the bedroom. When you walked back inside, he stretched his arm out for you. “Come back to bed!”
“You’ll have me back tonight,” you grinned at him.
“But I want you now!”, he pleaded.
Oh, those butterflies in your tummy. “You’re so needy!”, you laughed.
When he didn’t lower his arm though, you finally gave in and let yourself fall back on the bed again. Not even a second later, Leonard was on top of you.
“You bewitched me, Y/N, or else do you explain how fast I’m already falling for you,” he whispered before he leaned in to kiss you.
Maybe Jim could wait a few more minutes …
