Pairing: Shouto Todoroki x F!Reader
Tumblr media
Summary: With the end of the Great War and his father’s death, Prince Shouto must find his and his kingdom’s place in a rapidly changing world. As a result, the Todoroki Kingdom has finally opened its doors to its neighbors after centuries of isolation. You see this as an opportunity to not only advance in your career as a lowly government aid but to also take advantage of the tropical island as your new office space.
However, with the nobility working to maintain their status quo, there’s another reason why it may be difficult for you and Shouto to achieve your goals – the prince seems to have misunderstood what sort of partnership you seek with him.
“I’m happy to hear that, Prince Shouto.” Your voice was even, not too disinterested and not too eager. “I look forward to our future together.” Your answer pleased him, and he replied, “Excellent. I was worried that my response was too casual for a marriage proposal, especially since I’m unfamiliar with the customs of the Republic. However, I do plan to formalize our betrothal according to the traditional rites of my nation.” For a second time, your mind replayed the way his mouth moved to say marriage, proposal and betrothal, his voice clear and steadfast. Marriage. Proposal. Betrothal.  Marriage. Proposal. Betrothal. Marriage. Proposal. Betrothal. Heat rose to your cheeks, mimicking the tropical sun. Worse than mishearing, you realized that there was a terrible, terrible misunderstanding between you and Shouto. You weren’t sure how to tell your superior that the fate between the two nations was unknown, but at least you knew that relations between the prince and yourself were solid.

Day 4 - Weapons | Hands
“You’re distracted.”
A whisper in his ear. He shivers. Had he any fight in him, he might reply in kind. Ask who’s fault that may be.
As he is, Clover would see through it in a heartbeat.
“Maybe,” Qrow says, testing his voice. He draws a shuddered breath, an extra moment granted to pluck out the words he needs, and leans further against the warm body at his back. He swallows hard. “Maybe you could… give me a reason to be distracted.”
~~Note that this fic is rated mature, though mostly for the eventual second chapter. Partner piece to this drawing

Avengers film posters (ish) but it's just Steve and Tony and the things they've said to each other that I registered as turning points. A few of these I feel mirror the other's experiences either in parallel or as a foil. These boys are complex, got multitudes & whatnot

Hi! I’ve been dying to know, how would Keith react/cope with Lotor dying in a similar fashion as in the show (quintessence poisoning after a battle with Voltron) if he was in love/falling in love with him? Also, how would the paladins respond to heartbroken Keith? I need my angst. Btw, thank u so much for continuing to write Little Blade, I love it so much!!!
I’m going to go with: horribly.
As we saw with Shiro’s disappearance in canon, Keith......doesn’t deal well with loss. In part, because he has so few people he cares for to begin with, but more so because I imagine that his history of losing those closest to him—his mother so shortly after he was born, his father (likely his only known living relative) when he was perhaps nine, and Shiro twice over with both Kerberos and the s02 finale⁠—has ABSOLUTELY left him with some severe abandonment issues,,, not to mention he spent more than half his life in the foster system, seemingly without forming a single significant bond until Shiro.
So if Lotor were to die like,,,, that, Keith’s first thought would be to blame himself; could he have turned Lotor away from that path before he was too far gone? Could he have saved him from such a fate, even after that point? Let us not forget that even in canon—even when they’d barely interacted—it’s Keith who in that final battle says “Let’s grab Lotor and get out of here.” with the only member of team voltron more insistent than him being Allura (with whom Lotor was literally romantically involved). So if Keith himself had spent time with Lotor, grown fond of him, fallen in love with him... at best, I think he’d never forgive himself.
At worst, I don’t think he would have left the quintessence field at all.

when hopper and mike need to perform cpr on will in the upside down, paralleling the end of season 1, and hopper tells mike to breathe into will's mouth on three --
-- and in that moment, mike is thinking back to november 6th, 1983, the day that will was taken to the upside down. he's having flashbacks to when will's fake body is retrieved from the quarry, and to the moment where he is riding back home, sobbing. he's thinking about that fight him and will had in the rain, many summers ago, and apologises in between sobs and gasps for never bringing it up after that, even though he knows that will can't hear him. it parallels hopper thinking back to sarah's death in season 1.
the scene isn't long enough for mike to say all the things that he wants to say (heck, he doesn't think there would ever be enough time to tell will everything).
however, just before mike can utter the words "i love you", will wakes up with a jolt. before being able to comprehend his surroundings, will falls into the arms of the person closest to him (mike), breathing and heart rate rapid, a parallel to l/max in season 4.
as hopper retrieves an oxygen mask from his bag, mike just continues to sob as he tries to form coherent sentences (all things along the lines of "you're alive!" and "i thought i lost you.") while clutching will desperately.
what then?

As we trickle on down the line with more people becoming more aware that there are some people out there in this world using AI language programs such as ChatGPT, OpenAI and CharacterAI to write positivity, come up with plotting ideas, or write thread replies for them, I'm going to add a new rule to my carrd which I'll be updating later today:
Please, for the love of God, do NOT use AI to write your replies to threads, come up with plots, or script your positivity messages for you. If I catch anyone doing this I will not interact with you.

Minors and blank blogs DNI!
Pairing: Jason Todd x F!Reader
Summary: As the goddess of love, it only makes sense that you should feel at odds with the god of war. After all, the two domains appear to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. Chance encounters while working lead to a growing curiosity about this hated god, and soon the two of you become a topic of gossip not only in Olympus but in the mortal realm as well.
Tags: Enemies-to-lovers, inaccurate ancient Greek religion & lore, romance, angst, drama, smut, canon-typical violence, infidelity, non-graphic rape, misogyny, grief/mourning, gender identity, childhood trauma
Individual chapter warnings are always placed at the beginning of the author's notes. Please exercise personal caution and read at your own comfort level. Thank you!

Chapter Preview
There was something frightfully erotic in the position–the downward cast of your eyelids, your heaving chest, the way gravity and tension pulled and held your flesh too close but not close enough to his skin, the way your hand pinned his right shoulder down. You looked vulnerable with all the emotions that lust put you through, but when Jason met your eyes, his heart stopped momentarily. This was the look of a hunter with its prey, exhausted from pursuit but ready to kill. Your other hand trailed his chest, still as his eyes watched every movement, until they settled on the ribs above his heart. It pulsated wildly under little pressure–anxious, nervous, expecting.

Dude, I love your fic (the not so perfect pair) so much.
<33
Can you tell this is me trying to get you to update fast because I'm head over heels with this fic, lmao I'm sorryy-
Anyways bye
I'm glad you've been liking it enough that you're encouraging me to update lol 😭 I didn't think it would ever be liked enough for people to be chasing me for updates
I am working on the next chapter I promise! it's fully written, I'm just editing and formatting it, the problem is that somehow while editing the first half (the shorter half) I went from three thousand words to five thousand... So editing is going a little slowly
But I'm working on it! And I'm having fun working on it! And I've already promised someone that it'll be on monday evening so dw lol

the first lines of every fic i've ever written and not deleted (completed and wips)
yes, i used to write first person y/n fanfiction, we're ignoring that
also fun fact, only one of these is not hp fanfiction, can anybody guess?
"y/n?" No reply. A few seconds go by and then I hear it again.
"Come on!!! Have some fun for once!"
"Wake up sleepyhead!" I hear a soft voice whisper in my ear.
I ran down the corridor, tears streaming down my face.
Hiding in the dark corner of my room, I'm glad everybody's out of the apartment to set up for the [insert name of event] today. Nobody needs to see me like this.
It's the last night of winter break, and everybody's staying over at James' house.
"Hey, Regulus, you have a moment?" (icotfs)
James and Remus have been going up to the Astronomy tower together for ages.
It was no secret that James Potter was in love with Lily Evans.
“Mommy, Mommy, wake up!” Lily barely has a chance to open her eyes before her son is jumping up on the bed. (dywbas)
"I'm home!" Lily looks around, but even within their small apartment, her wife is nowhere to be found.
It's a warm, July afternoon, and Regulus Black is very happy.
Tonight. Tonight is the night he needs to leave. (jmalt)
Pandora practically bounds up the stairs of the Astronomy tower, trying not to crush the photograph clutched in her hand.
To put it lightly, today was a shit day. (latww)
“You’re kidding.” Regulus says, scoffing.
Regulus has actually had a decent day for once in his sorry life.
“What do you think, Remus? Should I put the calla lilies by the bay window or behind the counter?” (r&rfaf)
“I’m sorry! I don’t know what I’m supposed to have done!” Marlene cried, trying to look Dorcas in the eyes who was avoiding her gaze at all costs.
“Lily, look outside!” Pandora calls, lightly shaking Lily awake.
Dr. Regulus Black is easily the most incredible man James has ever met. But he’s also unbelievably stubborn.
