The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is so good...but still so gentle.
This is not a criticism. Just an observation.
Everything is handled in a way that is gentled - slowed - careful.compared to the book. It makes you listen. I don't think it's a mistake just a very deliberate, interesting choice.
Je t'aime, Percy Jackson. Je t'aime.

Like Betta Fish Do - Part 15
Masterpost of ao3 link and all parts.
WC: 4225 (Ch 12 when on ao3: Chs 1-10/Parts 1-12 are there already and are better than here btw.)
“The ghosts’ King?”
Danny hummed in agreement and placed one of the trays of food on Jason’s lap.
“Seriously, you’re a king?”
“Mostly. Now eat you Pho.”
Jason did as he was told.
He shot Danny purposeful looks throughout dinner, but Danny refused to give. He kept his attention fully on the TV even though Jason knew that Danny was incapable of keeping his full attention on any show— much less one they were only watching for Jason’s sake. When the food was gone and the trash had been thrown away, Jason leaned over and paused the show. He figured that Danny was out of excuses.
Danny was still hovering in the doorway between the kitchen and living space, refusing to look at Jason. It made Jason sigh. He pulled himself off the couch, wincing slightly at the cuts on his feet. Now that he was clean and full the minor hurts he’d gotten from the episode bit at him, but he pushed the matter aside as he walked over.
Gently, Jason cradled Danny’s face. The wrapping around his split knuckles felt rough against the soft skin, but Jason simply soothed the path with his thumb.
“Danny.”
The sigh Danny let out was impressively resigned. “I didn’t mean to tell you about the king thing yet. I just didn’t want you to worry about hurting me.”
Jason hummed softly. “But it’s true?”
“Mostly.”
“You’ve said. That doesn’t explain anything, fish.”
Danny just closed his eyes at another brush of Jason’s thumb.
“Fish… I can’t say this won’t change how I think about you, because it feels like every time we meet you’re telling me things that shake me world view, but it’s not going to scare me away. Danny, you’re…,” Jason had to pause to swallow thickly. “You’re here. You saw me in a Pit Rage where I tried to scare you away and you’re still here. You’re here and… and you’re not flinching when I touch you.”
Bright aqua flashed as Danny’s eyes flicked open, intense in their severity. “I told you, I trust you.”
“Then trust that this won’t scare me away, just like I didn’t scare you away.”
Danny sighed and caught Jason’s hand. Instead of pulling it away, though, Danny just twined their fingers together and rested his cheek on them. “So, yeah. Ghost King.”
“Mostly,” Jason said, teasing a little. It worked to pull a slight smile out of Danny.
“Mostly. I can’t take the crown fully until I’m done living. As halfas we’re constantly in change and flux in a way that full ghosts aren’t. There are also some concerns the power that come with the trappings of royalty would be too much for my human half. So right now I’m seen as… too turbulent, basically, to be fully in charge. That means the monarchy is a regency under my council. I’m king in name, but I’m more of a princling right now.”
Jason nodded slowly, absorbing all of that information. It left him with a hundred questions: how did the ghost court work, who made up the council, what were the trappings? As with every conversation with Danny these days there were more questions than answers. He went for the one he felt the need to know most. “How were you chosen to be king?”
“Would you believe right of succession through combat?” Danny asked with a wounded smile.
“Fuck.”
“Yeah. Yeah, fuck about sums it up.” Danny said. “So I can hold my own. Even if you end up a really strong ghost, you’re not there yet. I don’t think you’re even strong enough right now to land a hit if I went intangible.”
“Right, intangible.” He’d forgotten that was a thing. “You went right through the door after—”
“Ghost stuff,” Danny cut Jason off. “I’ll teach you once your develops. Invisibility, intangibility, and flight are all really basic ghost stuff.”
“And then there’s the not so basic stuff like the core powers?”
“Mhum. And whatever else you might get. I picked up a lot of things from fighting my rogues.”
Jason jerked back in surprise. “Your what?”
“My rogues. That’s what you all call them here, right? The villains or nemesis or anti-heroes or whatever that fight the Bats.”
Danny had rogues. Jason closed his eyes and took a deep breath. If he hadn’t worn himself out already he would have been terrified of the green surging up. “Fish— Danny, are you a hero?”
“Officially retired,” Danny said. “Being King helped solve a lot of issues. And it turns out a lot of them just wanted to brawl so I’ve scheduled times for the ones not actually out to hurt any one. And I’ve destroyed the portal and most ghosts can’t make their own.”
“But you were a hero,” Jason choked out.
“Yep. The portal gave a way to get ghosts through and someone had to do something. My friend Sam convinced me of that— Jason, are you okay?”
Jason forced through a breath. “I’m fine, fish.”
That was a lie, but how could he explain it? How could he explain the knife that was twisted in his gut at the idea that Danny had died and been forced to become a hero. He couldn’t without revealing a lot of secrets that weren’t his to share.
“Just hate thinking of you in danger.”
“It’s— I’m fine. I mean, it sucked, a lot, but I’m fine. A lot of them weren’t that bad. Like Boxy’s whole thing is about wanting to amass boxes. He’s a nuance but not really a threat,” Danny rambled as he fiddled idly with Jason’s wrapped knuckles. “He’s really calmed down too since he married Lunch Lady who, yeah, went a little overboard with things but mostly just want’s to feed people. Their daughter Box Lunch is just the cutest little blob too.”
“Wait.” Jason squinted his eyes open at that. “Ghosts can have children? How does that even work?”
Danny grinned. “Well you see when one ghosts loves another ghost very much—”
“Fish.”
“Okay, sorry. I mean not sorry, your face was too great, but sorta sorry. Um, let’s talk ectoplasm and Ancients. It’s— all of it is a whole thing. Come one, I’ve got some candy in my bag we can open,” Danny said, dragging Jason back over to the couch.
Jason let himself be pushed down to sit and have his feet propped back up. Really, Jason just wanted to pull Danny close and make sure he was alright and go kick the ghost tails of whoever left scars on Danny, but this didn’t see to be the night for it. Right now, Danny wanted to look out for Jason, so he’d let him. There would be time for the other stories later— maybe once Jason could explain why it impacted him so much.
For right now there was candy to eat and ghost biology to learn about. Because apparently not every ghost was alive once— and wasn’t that, as Danny said, ‘a whole thing’.
-
“Are you sure that you’re okay to do this?” Danny asked. Again.
It had only been two days since Jason had come out of the Pit Rage. Danny had stayed through the night and most of the next day. Finishing ‘The Lizzie Bennet Diaries’ was the excuse (and it was pretty good for a ‘Pride and Prejudice’ adaptation), but Danny knew that Jason knew it was a weak excuse. Still, Jason let it slide and didn’t try to push Danny away again.
It was after a very late lunch that Danny made himself leave. He didn’t want to push his luck or make Jason feel trapped; he didn’t want to give Jason a reason to lash out like that again. As much as Danny understood that Jason was doing it out of fear and that Jason couldn’t seriously hurt him, it didn’t change the fact that Jason was a little terrifying in that moment. Worse than the spike of fear that had run through Danny was knowing that Jason was terrified of himself. And so to try and fix that they were walking in, substantially after hours, to a gym that Jason knew. Danny would prove to Jason that the other didn’t have to be afraid of hurting him.
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the Mr. Wayne,” the brick house of a man who was tidying up behind a small reception desk quipped.
Wait. Wayne? Danny’s gaze flickered between the two.
Seriously?
“Fuck you for making me sound like a smarmy creep by saying this,” Jason shot back without any heat, “but Mr. Wayne is my father. Seriously, there’s one the Mr. Wayne and it sure as fuck will never be me. Tim and Damian can duke it out over the that title when the old man goes.”
Oh fuck, seriously a Wayne.
The brick house clutched a dramatic hand to his chest. “I don’t know man, you don’t write, you don’t call, whatsa man to think but you moved up in the world? Gotten too good for little ‘o Sal’s.”
“No one in your family was ever named Sal, Joel, so fuck off.”
Jason was a Wayne. Tucker could never get wind of this.
“That’s between you and me, bub.”
“And half the clientèle that’s known you since you were in diapers.”
“Eh— same diff,” Joel said, shoving a folder file into a gym bag. “Gym is all yours, Mandy’s already gone. Be sure to lock up after yourself and clean up any mess you make.”
“Will do, Joel. Thanks.”
“Sure, Jason,” Joel said, heading for the door. He turned around at the last moment and give them a smirk and a sloppy salute. “And no having sex on the mats!”
“Joel!”
Danny knew he was blushing, but he bet it wasn’t as bad as Jason’s bright red cheeks.
“I’d apologize for him, but that’s just the way he is. He’s good people though, let’s me use this place after hours so I can exercise in peace… why are you staring at me like that?
Danny made himself blink. “You’re Jason Wayne.”
Between Tucker’s love for technology, Sam’s connection to the rich elite, and Vlad’s jealous Danny knew more than he wanted to about the Waynes. Just apparently not actually enough.
A frown tugged at Jason’s mouth. “You still hadn’t put it together. Shit. I get that I’m not in the spotlight as much as Tim or even Damian but— will this, I mean…”
“Won’t change a thing,” Danny was quick to assure Jason. “One of my best friend’s family is rich and the guy who’s, like, technically my godfather is rich too. I’m just surprised? You don’t exactly—”
Danny paused, one hand frozen in waving reassuringly as the rest of what Danny knew about Jason Wayne snapped into place. “Oh, fuck. You really did die, didn’t you? I mean, duh, I know you died, but Jason Wayne really died. That’s what you meant about cover story when we first met. Ancients, I am such an idiot! No wonder you thought I’d know you.”
“It was kinda endearing that you didn’t,” Jason said with a little shrug. “And I’m not the most recognizable Wayne.”
Danny’s eyes flicked obviously up to the white tuft in Jason’s hair.
Jason just shrugged again.
How did he keep ending up knowing rich people. Was he just cursed somehow? “Right. Okay. Promise, this won’t change things. I just needed a moment to re-compartmentalize you.”
‘Re-compartmentalize’, Jason mouthed.
Danny just sighed. “Shut up, my sister is a shrink— shrink in training I guess. You live with her long enough and you pick up on things.”
“Okay, sure. Can we stretch while you re-compartmentalize my existence?” Jason teased as he locked the front door.
“Yes we can stretch, dead boy.” Danny had to pause again. “Um, is Gotham going to draw and quarter me for calling you dead boy?”
“Maybe, but don’t change,” Jason said, leading them into the gym proper. “It’s…”
“Good to have someone who doesn’t make a big deal out of your death?” Danny offered when Jason fell silent.
“Yeah.”
Danny got that. As thankful as he was for Sam, Tucker, and Jazz, none of them actually got how was best for him to deal with his death. Sometimes you needed to joke about it. “Your family knows then, that you really died?”
Jason nodded.
“How do they think you’re back?”
“It’s Gotham, fucked up shit happens,” Jason said. His voice caught in that way that Danny had come to learn meant Jason was struggling with the topic.
Danny let it drop. “Okay.”
He followed Jason through the stretches. He still didn’t really think he needed to stretch, but even Pandora insisted on them and she was dead, so he behaved and worked through the motions. It did, at least, work out some of the kinks from being hunched too long over his laptop and textbooks.
When Jason finally asked ‘how do you want to do this’, he sounded normal again and the last bit of tension Danny was holding drained away.
He answered with a smirk.
“Well,” Danny drawled. “I can’t show you all of what I do, since it would be too destructive. But I figure we just start sparing and I’ll ramp up until you get the point.
“And what aren’t you showing me?” Jason asked, shaking out his arms.
Danny paused, having to think about that. “Ghostly wail. Pyrokinesis, electrokinesis… though cryokinesis should be fine if I’m careful. None of the ghost ray or ectoblast stuff. No overshadowing… I don’t… I only do that if I don’t have any other choice.
“That’s… quite the list, fish,” Jason said. He looked a little startled when Danny glanced his way.
“It’s like I said,” Danny said. He was trying hard not to be nervous about this. “I’m strong. I wasn’t kidding when I said that. So, you know…”
Danny took a breath and let the rings of light wash over him. He didn’t need to say it any more, but ‘going ghost’ still ran through his head out of habit. He let gravity’s control slip away and floated just a few inches above the floor.
Another breath. He fixed his glowing green gaze on Jason. “Come at me.”
Jason lunged.
Danny flung up a shield, grinning as Jason’s punch bounced harmlessly off of it.
“Too scared to let me get close?”
Danny laughed. “You know what they say, the best offense is a good defense?”
“Other way around, actually,” Jason mocked. “Can you actually throw a punch.”
“Oh I can punch,” Danny said. The shield flickered away with a wave of his hand and a grin stretched over his face. He wiggled the fingers of his outstretched hand, green flickering around them. “But can you catch?”
The hand flicked sharply forward.
Jason had just a moment to look confused before he was ducking the weight that Danny had flung off of the rack from across the room.
-
Alright, so Jason could accept that maybe he underestimated Danny a little, but this was still manageable. Telekinesis and barriers were pretty standard powers. He dodged another dumbbell, rolling through the motion to spring up in range of Danny.
Or Dannies.
Because now there were three of them standing there, arms crossed, and smirking at him.
That was… well, it was a sight for sure.
Jason cleared his throat. “So, that’s quite a power you have. Illusions?”
“I don’t know,” the middle Danny said.
The one on the right shrugged. “Not a clue. What do you think?”
The way the left one grinned was feral. “I think he’ll need to figure that out.”
“Sounds good to me,” Jason said. He shifted a half step back— just far enough. He caught his toe under the bar of one of the dumbbells. As he kicked it up he twisted, catching the bar and continuing into his twist to fling it at the Danny on the left.
Who caught it.
Fuck.
“Oh, look at that,” the Danny said, studying the dumbbell before smirking up at Jason from under his bangs. “Guess we are solid after all.”
Well, fuck indeed.
The Danny on the right shifted, warping like a shimmering mirage. “And that’s not all we can do.”
The rippling became more intense before the duplicate’s whole form shifted. Suddenly a massive black and white wolf with glowing eyes leapt at Jason. He let himself fall, leaning into the drop only to push off and dart forward. He caught the dumbbell being thrown back his way and sent it towards the wolf.
He stepped low, pushing off the ground to dart towards the middle Danny— the Danny he was pretty sure was the real one.
Two steps in and suddenly he lost his footing, sliding on a now ice slick floor— forward and right through the intangible cold spot that was Danny’s body. Jason was barely past when Danny turned solid, grabbed Jason’s wrist, and twisted.
Jason was seeing the ceiling as he was flipped up and over Danny’s hip. His breath was knocked from his lungs as he landed hard on his back. He tried to push through the momentum, but Danny twisted faster. Knees landed on either side of Jason’s hips and hands wrapped around Jason’s wrists. Frigid cold spread through him as his hands were iced to the mat.
The other Dannies popped out of existence as the real one loomed further over Jason.
Jason swallowed heavily. “Well, I guess you do have some tricks up your sleeves.”
“Mmmhumm.” The smirk had somehow gotten even more feral.
“The more you show me, the more I’ll learn and the easier you get to fight.”
“Sure, dead boy,” Danny dismissed with a roll of his eyes. He shifted, settling to sit on Jason’s stomach. “But I think I still proved my point. And that’s without anything actually dangerous. If I wanted to down you, I could down you.”
“Think you managed to put me down pretty well tonight,” Jason rasped. He tried (and failed) to not think too hard about how Danny was sat on top of him like that.
Danny snorted. “You know what I mean.”
“Yeah, I do,” Jason said. “I still… I get it, but I still don’t know if I’ll… if I can have you around next time without panicking, but I get I can’t hurt you.”
“Okay. And my promise holds, I’ll leave if you tell me to. Just,” Danny leaned forward, resting his forehead against Jason’s with a soft thunk. “I just ask that you consider letting me stay, so that you don’t have to go through that alone. I just want you to try.”
“I’ll try. For you fish, I’ll try.”
“Okay.”
“Okay. Now let me up, I want to go another round.”
“Your funeral.” Danny rolled fluidly off Jason before he paused, smiling down at him. “Oh wait. Been there, done that, right?”
Jason couldn’t help the bark of laughter that ripped out of him.
He wasn’t sure he had ever laughed so soon after a Pit episode.
-
“Oracle,” Dick started, activating his comm when there was a lull in the chatter. Batman might not like the chatter, but even he knew there was no stopping it. Besides, the Big Bat wasn’t even on tonight— Brucie duty called. “Has Hood checked in tonight?”
“No, but you know that he still doesn’t always ping when he’s out.”
Dick hummed softly through a frown.
“What is it?” Tim asked.
“Just, it’s been a few days since I’ve heard anything about him being active.”
“That isn’t unusually,” Babs pointed out, ever the voice of reason.
“Yeah, sure. But he missed a meal with Red and me too.”
“That also isn’t unusual,” Tim pointed out.
Dick sighed. Why didn’t anyone get it. “But all together?”
At least the silence felt a little more considering than judging.
“I think I’ll just swing by his place real quick, get eyes on him,” Dick said, twisting midair to change the direction of his flight. He silenced his comms again from his side, letting Oracle lead the Bats and Birds where she needed them. It wasn’t a busy night, at least, so Dick didn’t feel bad about taking a sidestop to check on his little wing.
He wanted to think that it was nothing— that Red Hood had just been quiet or, less likely, Jason was just taking some time for himself, but something was bothering Dick. It wasn’t one solid thing that was making Dick nervous. The bathbomb thing had been weird, but apparently it had been a case of mistaken identity for a joke. Which was odd, but it was Crime Alley. Finding Jason sick had bothered Dick more than it should have, but the other recovered easily enough. It was just that also… Jason had seemed a little different.
It was a good different! Jason has been thinking about going back to school. He had even been meeting up with parts of the family more casually and often. Dick didn’t want to be concerned about things like that, but something in his gut told him there was more going on. And as a Bat trained Bird, he couldn’t ignore his gut.
He landed, silently, on the roof top across from Jason’s as he caught the other stepping into the building.
“Well,” Dick said, turning back on his mic once he had settled into the shadows. “Seems Jason went to the gym.”
“Like Hood isn’t swole enough,” Steph chimed in. There was a heavy grunt from her end of the comms. Guess she caught up with the robber.
“Nothing weird about training,” Tim said. “I believe that he’s said there’s some gym he uses after hours? And it is still early, Hood isn’t off the table for the night.”
“No, that’s true. I guess—” Dick froze, almost jolting out of the shadows in surprise at what he was seeing.
“Nightwing?” Babs demanded.
“Jason has someone with him.”
There was silence for a beat before the line erupted in overlapping voices.
“What the hell?” Dick murmured.
“What’s happening Nightwing?” Tim demanded; words clipped and anxious and loud enough to be heard over the others.
“The twink just took Jason down. Dropped him like it was nothing.”
“Get in ther—”
“No, no that’s— okay that’s pretty weird, but that’s not the weird part. Jason swept the guy’s legs out from under him right after. And now, just… he’s laughing. They both are. Jason just flicked the other guy off.”
The silence on the comm line was heavy.
“Confirm that Nightwing?” Babs asked as Dick watched Jason pry himself up off the floor. He must have said something because the other man dissolved into harder laughter, curling up on his side as he flicked Jason off right back.
“There’s a stranger in Jay’s place and Jay is laughing,” Dick repeated.
He tracked Jason as he moved to the door and picked up the messenger bag the other man had dropped. Jason rooted through it and pulled out a small kraft paper bag. He raised his brows at whatever it was. And then he did something that Dick didn’t know Jason was capable of anymore.
He smiled. It was soft.
“Guys, he’s… smiling. Like….” Dick gave up trying to explain it and snapped a still of it with the body cam to send through chat.
“Oh,” Babs whispered. “He looks… so happy.”
“I can’t get an I.D. on the guy. Just somewhere around Jason or Tim’s age best as I can tell. Black hair. Lean but he’s obviously got some muscles,” Dick said when he had gathered himself. The guy basically oozed off the floor and onto the couch. He was twisted to watch Jason, which left his back to Dick. “I think the other guy got him tea. Jason’s making it for them now.”
“Tea? Like, a present?” Steph asked.
“Yep.”
“Huh.” That was a dangerous sort of ‘huh’ to hear from Tim. That ‘huh’ had layers— dangerous layers.
“No, Red.”
“I didn’t say anything!” Tim defended at the same moment as Babs chimed in with, “He has a point.”
“Thank you, Oracle,” Tim said.
Steph snorted. “I thought you didn’t say anything.”
“Oh shu—”
“No,” Dick interrupted. He poured every bit of authority he had learned leading his own team into the word. “I mean, it: no. I’ll stop by tomorrow to visit him and see what I can learn but no hacking, no looking at his cams, no checks.”
“Nightwing—” Oracle started.
“No. Guys, I’m serious. When was the last time Jay had someone he was close to outside of work and family?”
The silence really said everything.
“Yeah, exactly. So we’re not going to do anything to fuck this up for him. Have I made myself clear?”
“Yeah, yeah, crystal, no need to be so fucking dramatic,” Steph said, cutting through the tension as easily as she always did. “We have enough of that in the family. ‘Have I made myself clear’— who do you think you are? A bat shaped furry?”
Tim groaned. “No, we are not getting into this debate again—”
Dick tuned out his family as he watched Jason settle down on the couch across from the stranger. He was still smiling.
No, Dick was no Bat, but he’d still look after his little wing.
-----
AN: HELLO MY DARLINGS it has been a long time since we’ve had fresh fish here- a month to be exact. But we are back. Danny really wanted to throw a lot at this chapter. Danny, bby, we weren’t supposed to go into the King thing yet. But here we are. Also, Jason cluing in about how much he likes Danny? Could it be?
If you asked to be tagged on a part older than 14 or 13, I’ve probably missed you and you can ask again, but PLEASE be sure you’re not already on the list. Also when the new post editor becomes the only option in a few weeks, expect to see tags coming from my side account clockwaysadmin to get around the issue of too many tags stops things from being postable. That also might break tags less, we’ll see!
Stay delightful, darlings!

TAEHYUNG MASTERLIST ♡.°₊ˎ SONG FOR THIS ONESHOT
Tumblr media
in the darkness of the room an empty wine bottle rolled under one of the little closets. a soft sound emerged as it hit the wall behind it. the only lightsource in this room was the tv. it didnt showed anything specific ... only static noise. someone might wonder what happened that this room became so gloomy and the only one who could answer this question, was taehyung. leaning against the sofa he downed another bottle of wine, at the same time his phone lit up beside him. like in trance he picked it up, unlocked it and clicked on the notification at the top of the screen. taehyung always hoped that it was you. that you would finally write or call him.
its been 3 months since the two of you broke up with each other. more precisely it was you who broke up with him. it came out of nowhere, taehyung had no idea how unhappy you were in this relationship. whenever he is a lone like this, his mind travels back to the day he first met you.
it was a warm summer night. the both of you went to the same university party. tae always thought that it was fate because at the beginnning, he never intended to visit this party. jungkook, his best friend and the most popular boy in uni, insisted that he would go. the moment tae stepped one foot into the huge hallways, his eyes immediately moved over into the right corner. you left him breathless in that thight black dress you were wearing that night. after that everything mixed into a blurr of laughter, silly jokes and your beautiful smile as you gave him your phone number.
those were tae's precious memories. the time after that night was perfect. it was like a fairytale. but now everything keeps falling apart, at least for taehyung. since 3 months he is stuck in his own personal time loop. every single day is the same, him waking up, barely making it out of bed followed by his heavy footsteps as he carries himself over to the livingroom. there he sits in front of the sofa, staring onto the wall and hoping you would finally call him again. it never happened.
another notification popped up on the display, hurting his eyes as it lit up again. it was jungkook, asking if he's okay and when he will come back to the lectures. everyone was worried about taehyung, they even tried to visit his apartment next to the campus. no one had luck, not even your best friend Sana. normally tae was really close with her but after the break up even that friendship kinda fell apart. sana was the one who told him that the both of you would marry one day. how wrong she was.
yet another notification popped up and this time, tae finally unlocks his phone. it was a notification from one of his social media apps. instagram to be more specific. his fingers flew over the bright display, hoping it wasnt a false alarm. scrolling through his feed, he finally stops. there it was. a new post made by you.
jungkook once told him that its cringe that tae still follows your account. he suggested to block you for tae's sake but tae refused. he knows that its unhealthy for him, that he wont be able to let go. at the same time he needed that. knowing what you were up to, if you were sad .. if you could live without him. as expected it was a picture of you and Hobi, another friend of yours. a smile was seen on your face as hobi had his arm comfortably around your shoulder. you even had a new hair colour.
it didnt took tae long to lock his phone again as he putted it back beside him. his head fell back against the sofa as his hand reached to the half empty bottle of wine. all this time he hoped that he would get used to it, to the pain, to the loneliness inside of him but the healing process never came. his mind was still stuck in the past. another big sip from the bottle made him sigh heavy. tae already felt dizzy as the alcohol finally took effect on his body. without it, he wouldnt be able to survive this empty feeling inside his chest. everything of him was in denial since that day. suddenly tears kept welling up inside his eyes, the bottle rolled out of his hand joining the other one underneath the little closet.
both of his hands dissapeared inside his hair as tae placed his head against his knees. alcohol was numbing the pain but at the same time it brought back all the bad memories of that day. he could see your eyes in front of him, how they were red from crying, how your hands were shaking. everything feels so real whenever he was drinking again. as he saw your quivering lip he wished he had done something to stop you. instead of sopping you, he only stood there, frozen in place as your hands changed into fists.
by now he knew that you wanted to hear something from him, anything. because after the break up you called him from time to time, telling him how you wished he would had stopped you and that it was too late for it now. in those phone calls tae was able to hear why you broke up with him. for him everything was perfect but you suffered in silence. all those gifts werent enough for you, you wanted a boyfriend who was emotionally available. something he couldnt give to you.
"i know ... i know i cant talk about my feelings .." tae mumbled into the silence of his room.
while he had received phonecalls from you ... 2 weeks ago they suddenly stopped. tae figured that you finally moved on from the break up. it was probably better like this, no one keeps calling their ex to look out for them. it was just a small nice gesture from you ... a final thing to say goodybe. to cut loose from him and the memories you both shared.
tae rolled over to the other side as he grabbed the cigarettes from the coffee table. since the break up he started smoking. you were the reason he stopped this unhealthy habit but now he had no one. now the half lit cigarette was the only light source inside the dark livingroom. the ray of sunshines behind the curtains slowly dissapear as the evening laid down over the city. out of the corner of his eye, tae saw another notification on his phone. this time, it was another text but not from jungkook or his other friends.
with the cigarette between his lips, he lifted his phone back up again into his hand. it began to shake as he noticed the name at the top of the screen. the purple heart was still behind the last letter. another thing he couldnt bring himself to delete, along with the whole contact info. with quivering lips he opened the text message. it was a short sentence which held a lot of meaning in it.
" ... please, be happy"
tae's heart skipped a beat. his fingers immediately flew over the keyboard to send you a message back. to tell you that something like this wouldnt be possible without you. the moment he wanted to hit send, something at the bottom of the chat caught his eye. it was another text, this time, his heart sunk.
"this user has blocked you. you wont be able to send messages or contact this user again."
in a slight panic tae opened instagram. hoping he could answer you there but ... he couldnt. even on instagram you had blocked him by now. a chuckle left his lips as his phone slipped onto the livingroom floor again. with his other hand he took the cigarette from his lips.
you finally did it. you finally had cut the last few thing which kept you attached to taehyung and all the things you both shared. tae was envious that you were able to move on this fast ... while he was still stuck in time.
standing up he walked over to the kitchen. there he opened the small cabinet beside his fridge, pulling out the third bottle of wine for the night. tomorrow will be another day. another day were he will try to forget you. maybe this time ... he will finally manage to let you go and get used to the pain he is feeling inside his heart.

[ 𝖕𝖔𝖎𝖘𝖔𝖓𝖔𝖚𝖘 𝖔𝖇𝖘𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔𝖓 ] — alternative ending
>> Ghost x Reader
>> 18+
>> this was inspired by the tv show 'you'
You open your eyes and yawn, your palm running across the blanket, trying to find your phone, so you could check the time.
You were supposed to just lay down for fifteen minutes, but you ended up sleeping for almost an hour.
At first, you roll around in the bed, hearing the creak of the mattress as you try to shake off the lingering sleep. Your gaze wanders aimlessly across the room until suddenly you realise something is… burning.
Your pupils dilate, and you jump up, stumbling over your feet as you run towards the kitchen.
The hallway is filled with thick grey smoke and you have to cover your nose and mouth to avoid breathing it in. You curse when you realise you burned the dinner; whatever you had left in the oven to cook was now ruined.
You keep coughing, and your eyes water, but eventually, you manage to open all the windows and the smoke evaporates. The lingering scent of a burnt dinner serves as a painful reminder of your culinary mishap, leaving you with a sense of inadequacy.
All you wanted to do was surprise your boyfriend, but somehow you screwed it all up.
Lately, you feel like you are a mess without him. You never realised that you could miss someone so much, but when Simon left for a mission, all your days began to blend into one. You felt like you were missing a part of yourself and all you could think about every night before falling asleep was that you wish he would come back sooner.
You check the time after cleaning up the kitchen, washing the dishes and tossing out the burnt food. You realise you still have an hour left to run to the shop, and then maybe grab some take-out on your way back.
You’ve already put on your shoes and are on your way out when you realise that you should probably leave a note for Simon in case he comes home while you are out.
Finding you here, making dinner was supposed to be a surprise, but now that it has been ruined, and he may return while you are gone, you don’t want him to be baffled by the mess and the fact that the house still smells like smoke.
Your feet carry you towards his office because you need a pen and a piece of paper, but when you try to open the door it is locked. You sigh and decide to send him a message instead.
However, as you press the send button and walk towards the front door, it opens and Simon comes in.
He doesn’t see you right away, but as his duffel bag falls to the floor and he glances around, perplexed, sniffing the air, his eyes fall on you.
Your lips curl into a smile and you move towards him, your arms wrapping around his shoulders as he picks you up, embracing you tightly. After putting you back on the ground, his hands settle on your hips.
“I missed you.” You say and your face lights up as a grin forms on your face. He smiles and his lips press to your brow as he nods his head.
“I missed you too, but why does my house smell like someone tried to start a bonfire in the kitchen?” He asks after finally letting you go.
You pull your bottom lip between your teeth and bite it. Your cheeks get bright red, and your chest flushes with embarrassment, as you scratch the side of your neck.
“I meant to surprise you by cooking you dinner, but I fell asleep and when I woke up, it all was burnt.” You explain as you shift your weight from one leg to the other, anxiously toying with your fingers.
Simon teases you about it for the rest of the night, but you relax when you realise he’s not mad at you for making the mess in the kitchen.
When you offer to run to the store and also bring home takeout, he refuses to let you go. You make no objections, and after he showers and changes into comfortable clothes, you both lie down in bed.
“Just pick something.” He mumbles into your hair, his gaze fixed on the phone in your hand.
You’re curled up in his arms, his fingers gently rubbing your back. Your head lies on his chest, and you’re holding a phone, your eyes glued to the screen as you attempt to decide what to order.
“But I don’t know what I want.” You groan as you scroll further, unable to pick anything. “What do you want?”
When you raise your head to look at him, his gaze meets yours and he rolls his eyes, but his lips curl into a smile. You hand him the phone, finally giving up, and deciding that you don’t care and that he should pick what he wants instead.
He tosses the phone on the mattress, and you gaze at him confused.
Simon then shifts and in one quick motion, he flips you on your back and gets on top of you. You giggle when he places his hands on either side of your head, entrapping you under him. His body casts a dark shadow over you, and you wrap your arms loosely around his neck when he dips his head.
“I want you.” He whispers and his lips brush against you, but he doesn’t kiss you.
“Hm, let me phrase this better... What do you want to eat? Because I don’t know and I honestly don’t care what we order.” You continue to act oblivious because it is fun to tease him.
He closes the space between you; your body flush against his. As his hands creep under your shirt and his icy fingers brush against your sides, trailing over your curves, a shiver runs down your spine.
He leaves a path of kisses from your jaw all the way to your exposed collarbone. Your skin feels ablaze, and his touch weakens you to the core.
“You look pretty delicious to me.” He smirks and you giggle again.
His lips press against yours with a desperate hunger, as if he’s a man gasping for air in a world devoid of oxygen. The intensity of his kiss overwhelms your senses, and the desire is palpable.
You can practically taste the desperation on his lips, and you can feel the heat radiating from his body as his fingers move with urgency, desperate to get you out of the clothes.
That evening, no food is ordered, but Simon’s hunger is fully satisfied, and after he is done with you and you roll onto your back, pulling the blanket over your body, trying to catch your breath, you realise that you are no longer starving either.

Catharsis: Reminiscence
Phos!Reader x (Platonic) Gojo Satoru
Warnings: Angsty, flashbacks of Phos' life and progression, regret and depression
Notes: it be like that sometimes
The black screen of the TV flashes to life once again.
The camera clicks on, showing your figure sitting stiffly on a chair in a classroom. Your hair is in a short ponytail, eyes bright as your hands are cautiously fiddling with the hem of your uniform skirt. Your posture is rigid, lips almost in a grimace as you stare forward like a deer in headlights.
"Name." A voice comes from behind the camera.
"Y- Y/n." Your voice is high and strained.
"Age."
"I- I think I'm around 16?"
"Favourite colour?"
"Red, maybe?" Your words almost sound like a question.
"Hobbies?"
"Uhm, I like sleeping?" Your cheeks heat up in embarrassment.
"Grade?"
"Like- school? Uh- 10? Oh, wait, oh sorceror grade! I'm- I'm not good enough to get graded, yet." Your tone dampens, back slouching.
"How long have you been at Jujutsu Tech?"
"Maybe, a month?"
"How do you feel about Jujutsu Tech?"
You open your mouth, closing it again as you gulp, scratching the back of your neck nervously.
"I- I like it, I really really do. The people are lovely, I feel like I'm in heaven. Everyone is so kind. Gojo - Sensei, Ieiri - Sensei, Yaga - Sensei, they're all so caring. Even my classmates! Yuji is so funny, and Nobara is so sweet! Megumi's a bit grumpy, but I want to get closer to him. I want to get closer to everyone."
Your expression softens to a giddy smile.
"Say a message to your future self."
"Hey! Are we a grade 1 sorceror, yet? Or did we end up staying with Ieiri - Sensei? Did we grow up pretty? Have we killed a curse by yourselves yet? Even if we haven't, it's OK, as long as we're happy!"
The camera shuts off, the last thing seen on screen being your smile and frantically waving hands.
The blank screen of the TV flashes to life once again.
The camera clicks on, showing your figure standing near the entrance of the school. It's the early afternoon, the sun shining on your skin. Your hair is tied back into a half up - half down ponytail. Your legs now have stripes of a black, metallic substance. You're smiling brightly at the camera.
"Name." A voice speaks from behind the camera.
"Y/n." You answer in a calm tone.
"Age."
"Around 16."
"Favourite colour."
"Blue. Blueberry blue, to be specific. The colour of Megumi's eyes." You laugh, turning to look at the boy who was walking past, being seen in the corner of the screen. His eyebrows furrow, shaking his head as he hides his face in the collar of his jacket.
"Concentrate on the camera." He huffs, making you laugh louder.
"Huh, what about me?" Another boy with pink hair comes onto screen, pouting at you.
"Don't worry, Yuji, I also like," You squint at the boy, leaning closer as you stare into his eyes, "Brown, it's a nice colour."
The boy makes a noise of surprise, gawking at you.
"You didn't know my eye colour til now!"
You laugh as the dark-haired boy is seen pulling the pink haired boy away from you. You turn back to face the camera.
"Sorry about that."
"Hobbies."
"Recently, I've liked going shopping with Nobara! She's so much fun to hang out with, even Maki - Senpai. I still like sleeping, though."
"Grade?"
Your eyes brightened, hands clasping together as you leaned back and forth on the balls of your heels.
"I'm Grade 2 now! I know, I know, I'm amazing!" You smile, scratching the back of your neck almost shyly.
"It's cause of my legs, they're so cool, see, see!" You grin, running to a nearby tree and back in a few seconds.
"How long have you been at Jujutsu Tech?"
"3 months."
"How do you feel about Jujutsu Tech?"
"I love it! It feels like home! I've been training with Gojo - Sensei lately. I met another sensei recently though, Nanami - Sensei! And I met a 3rd year, his name is Yukio - Senpai. He's so frown-y, all the time, like Megumi! But he's very caring, oh- there he is!"
The camera follows your finger as you point to a pale, white-haired boy walking through the gates. He has a bruise on his face, light grey eyes staring into the camera, then back at you.
"Yukio - chan! How was your mission?" Your face lights up, pulling the boy by his arm onto the screen.
"Don't call me that." He states almost monotonously, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Fine, Yukio - Senpai. You must be tired, go to Shoko - Sensei." You frown, letting go of him.
He sighs, turning around. Before he leaves, he ruffles your hair, flashing an almost nonexistent smile to the camera as your expression brightens up.
"Say a message to your future self."
"Hey! Are we a 1st grade sorceror yet? Have we beaten Yuji in Mario Kart? Have we managed to land a hit on Megumi when we spar? Has Gojo- Sensei finally gotten us the sushi he promised? Well, I believe in us, anyways! Whatever we're doing, we must be happy, huh?"
The camera shuts off, the last thing seen being your wide smile and frantically waving hands.
The black screen of the TV flashes to life once again.
The camera clicks on, showing your figure leaning against the wall of the school building. It's in the late afternoon. The sky is dark. Rain can be seen to your side and in the distance, uncovered by the shelter.
You're dressed in a light blue hoodie and shorts. Your hair is now short, above your ears. You have a few plasters on your face. Your eyes are dull, dark circles underneath them. Your hands are gold, shiny even in this lighting.
You look to the side, away from the camera. Your lips pulled into an awkward smile as you fiddled with the charm connected to the hilt of your sword. A metal snowflake.
"Name."
"Y/n."
"Age."
"Roughly, 16."
"Favourite colour."
"Blue."
"Hobbies."
"Training."
Your expression and tone of voice have not changed thus far.
"Grade?"
Your lips pull into a thin line. You freeze for a few seconds, sighing deeply.
"Special."
"How long have you been at Jujutsu Tech?"
"4 and a half months."
"How do you feel about Jujutsu Tech?"
Your eyes focus on the rain, and you stay silent.
A crash of thunder makes you focus on the camera for a split second before looking away.
"It's nice. Gojo - sensei, uhm, the people. Everything, I guess- it's, it's nice." You begin to nervously fiddle with the charm again.
"Say a message to your future self."
"We- let's keep getting stronger."
The camera shuts off, the last thing seen being your face as your eyes glaze over, fingers tightening around the hilt of your sword.
Gojo's eyes are still trained on the large TV, his hands folded as he sighs. He presses a button on the remote, playing the next video.
The TV lights up once again, showing a teenage Gojo smiling at the camera. He's at Jujutsu Tech, a brown haired boy waving at the camera with a bright smile, standing a ways behind him. A blonde haired boy stands motionless next to him.
"Suguru! Look here!" He turns the camera around to face a dark-haired boy who smiles at the camera.
Gojo grits his teeth, looking down as the video continues to play. The loud shouts of various teenagers can be heard, laughter ringing throughout the dark, empty room.
"Suguru, where do I keep going wrong?"

Mile & Apo: It takes two to triumph
Tumblr media
IN THE GLITZY REALM OF entertainment, where talent often shines like a beacon, there occasionally emerges a pair of stars whose chemistry transcends the screen. Such is the case with Mile and Apo, two charismatic Thai actors whose TV show KinnPorsche has become a global sensation, watched by millions of viewers from Russia and India, to Poland and Peru.
The two have risen from relative obscurity to become the new ambassadors of Dior, mobbed by teenage girls when they arrived in Mumbai earlier this year to attend a Dior fashion show.
On the surface, the Thai series KinnPorsche seems to have thrown the rulebook of “How to make a hit TV show” out the window. It is a mafia story filled with surly men, bloody gang fights and epic shoot-outs – which, yes, is a mainstay of TV programming. But the radical twist is this: the two main characters are a mafia boss’ son (played by Mile) and his male bodyguard (played by Apo) who – surprise, surprise – fall in love with each other.
In the history of TV, there has never been a hit crime series centred on a gay plot. But when KinnPorsche debuted in April 2022 on Thai TV and global streaming service iQiyi, it almost instantly became the top trending title in neighbouring countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Soon after, it claimed Europe, finding particular popularity in Poland, Turkey, Italy and France. Then it stormed its way into North and South America, where it was a top trending topic in the US, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia.
No one – not even the cast and producers – thought the show would be this successful. It seems to have fed into some untapped market for female audiences who love action shows, but don’t care to see yet another threateningly perfect actress couple up with their fantasy man.
If you ask any fan what it is about the show that makes them sweat, swoon or quiver with delight, they’ll answer quite simply: Mile and Apo.
Double or nothing
At their photo shoot in Bangkok’s top restaurant Nusara, which overlooks the splendid temple complex Wat Pho, the models-turned-actors are in their element. They tailor their bodies and facial expressions instinctively for the camera, conveying a range of emotions, from sultry and mysterious to bright and playful. The slinky Dior suits, with their clean lines and minimal embellishments, don’t hurt either.
Mile (or Phakphum Romsaithong) and Apo (or Nattawin Wattanagitiphat) recently released their new film Man Suang in cinemas. It is a big-budget political thriller set during the 19th century reign of Rama III, replete with historically authentic sets and costumes.
Apo plays a traditional dancer who is recruited to spy in an elite club and uncover a plot to overthrow the order of the king. Finding a kindred spirit in the club’s taphon drummer (played by Mile), the two team up to stop the underground rebellion.
Speaking with the help of a translator, Mile, 31, explains: “We hope the movie reaches out to a wide audience. We wanted it to have both commercial and critical success, something that could show Thai history and culture to the world, but also be fun and entertaining enough to be a popcorn movie for the masses.”
Both actors note how T-pop (the shorthand for Thai popular entertainment) has been hyped as the next global sensation after K-pop and J-pop, following the massive success of Thai stars such as Lisa Manobal, Bright Vachirawit and Win Opas-iamkajorn.
“And it can happen,” says Apo, 29, also through a translator. “Thai people are very humble, gentle, hardworking and friendly. We can blend into any culture. If anything, Thailand has served as a melting pot for different cultures – just as Singapore has. Our culture can be easily embraced by the world.”
The duo believes that the global audience has transformed in recent times. “They’re now more welcoming of stories from different parts of the world, especially if those stories involve characters going on a journey to discover themselves and make themselves better, stronger, wiser and happier,” says Apo. “That’s why when I look for new projects these days, I look for the ones that carry the messages of self-actualisation.”
Mile concurs, adding: “I’ve always believed in ‘high risk, high return’. KinnPorsche was a risky proposition, because it took a mafia crime genre and placed it in the Boy Love category (a niche genre involving gay romance). But I believed in the project’s potential from the start – even if I never thought it’d become the cultural phenomenon that it is today. Its success has only strengthened my belief in ‘high risk, high return’.”
One-two punch
The road to success has been winding for both actors. Though born with the magnetic allure of leading men, they’ve had to work hard to secure roles over countless rivals, as strikingly handsome as they are. Having appeared in smaller parts before, it was the smash success of KinnPorsche – a show that almost didn’t get made because of funding issues – that catapulted them into not just the Thai limelight, but the global stratosphere.
Asked what Dior’s artistic director Kim Jones thinks of KinnPorsche, the duo laughs. Apo says: “We don’t know if he’s seen the show – we didn’t ask him. But we do know that our fans had been bombarding his Instagram account for a while, telling him about us, asking him to check us out, before he signed us up – well, at least that’s what he told us when we met him for the first time.”
“But for all you know, he could be binge-watching the series right now,” quips Mile, prompting another round of chuckles.
As the two men trade jokes in Thai, it’s clear that they share a genuine friendship. Their camaraderie is palpable, adding an extra layer of authenticity to their on-screen chemistry. Their behind-the-scenes antics and playful banter in candid posts have become fan fodder, launching thousands of TikTok videos and memes.
Mile says: “We’ve only become better friends in these past two-and-a-half years. We’ve become more synchronised, and our mindsets and energies are moving at the same pace. I can look at Apo and more or less understand what’s going on in his mind. We have small conflicts, of course – it’s normal among friends – but it’s usually something so minor, we can resolve it quickly.”
The best part of their friendship? Their shared love of dad jokes – that genre of silly, cheesy jokes with predictable punchlines that fathers supposedly love to tell their kids.
But Mile confesses: “I don’t tell dad jokes because I like them, to be honest. What I really, really want to tell are smart jokes, witty jokes… But I’m so bad at making jokes that they always come across as dad jokes, no matter how hard I try.”
Apo interjects: “Do you wanna hear a good dad joke?” Then, switching from Thai to halting English, he says slowly: “Hey you… watch where you walk… or you will… fall… into… my heart.”
