Fan Girl - AWFC x Ballerina!Reader
Reader is a renowned ballerina and goes live to talk to fans, especially about her new-found love for football.
I really want to make this into a series of some sort but don't get your hopes up 🫶
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Hello, everyone!" You smiled into the camera a few minutes after starting an Instagram live, "Hello, hello, hello. How is everyone doing!" You responded to some personalised greetings for a few minutes before answering recurring questions flowing through the comments.
"What am I doing? I am getting ready to head over to the Royal Opera House to perform The Nutcracker. I am very excited to be doing so, we are going into the 4th performance of this year and I am absolutely buzzing, the first 3 shows went so well and I got to do all of my favourite parts and I get to do another tonight. So yeah, I am buzzing!" You had to try to suppress your smile whilst talking about your passion as you were doing your makeup whilst doing so.
"What are my favourite roles to dance in The Nutcracker?" You were moving onto contour as you began to roll off an endless number of characters you've played in the past, "I think my all-time favourite would have to be the Sugar Plum Princess, which I'm actually doing tonight!" You clapped your hands in delight due to pure excitement running throughout your body
"And then I think it's sort of even between; Clara, The Arabian Princess and The Snow Queen. I love Clara because I love playing her, I feel like I'm more of an actor when I play Clara and I love the feeling and of course, it's like, kind of a main role," You laughed as you tried to down-play the roll, not wanting to make it seem like you were bragging about getting to perform a main role.
"I love playing The Arabian Princess and The Snow Queen for the same reasons, I love their costumes so much and the choreography as well, oh my god, I feel in my element when I get to dance their choreography. It's an indescribable feeling, performing in general is for me, indescribable, but specifically those parts because I just love them so much!"
You laughed slightly to yourself as you took a drink of water, "And then we have the rats! I loved playing a rat, their costumes are just so funny and you get to really improvise with the rats," You choked on your water slightly as you laughed, "Oh I love being side-stage to watch them, performing with them is sometimes hard, especially when I'm Clara because you have to try not to laugh but I love the rats so much. And then there's also the angels! I love the angels, I was one for maybe 3 years? I started doing the Nutcracker when I was 3 and I started getting into other roles when I must have been 6 or 7, so 3 or 4 years, yeah, and I love the angels not only because it was my introductory to performing and ballet but also because now, I love kids if you didn't know, but I have taken up the role of helping the little-ys get ready and helping them get their stuff at the end of the night and they're all angels, and it just reminds me of the good old days, so yeah!"
You took a break from your makeup to look at the comments and your eyes widened when you saw 800,000 people were watching.
user429 i love her laugh
jazy_ballet I LOVE GETTING TO PLAY A RAT
saramanning how did you start ballet?
evanbraid what foundation did you use 😍
y/nballet4ever what are your hobbies aside from ballet 🩷
You proceeded to the task of doing your makeup after seeing that question, "I have recently gotten into football! I watched the Women's World Cup and it was the first time I was genuinely invested in a sport and I've kinda just kept on the football train now. That's kind of a lie I'm more on the football jet plane, if that makes sense. I am so invested in it's almost getting out of hand. I think about it all the time!" You had to laugh at yourself and how pathetic you sounded.
smith124 OMG! Who do you go for?
"I go for Arsenal, it wasn't really a conscious decision, to be honest. I just sort of figured out who everyone on the team was really fast and there was a game on, maybe 2 days after I had started 'investigating' and researching the team so I was like, why not? Um, but yeah I went to the game and I loved it! I felt kind of odd because I didn't have a jersey but I do now! I have, 12, if I remember correctly. That's Arsenal and England jerseys so..." You cringed at how fangirly you sounded.
p0llyr1chardz who's your favourite player???
"Favourite player? They're all so personable and great players like it's kind of mind-boggling how good they are but," You paused to think as you applied the finishing touches to your makeup. "Um, my favourite player might have to be Katie McCabe or Lucy Bronze, if we are talking Lionesses. If I am being so honest, I only really care about the women’s game. I just can’t get into the men's games but maybe it’s just my pure love for women that has me interested in football, not the actual game. I also love the "ACL squad" because, if you didn't know 2 years ago, I tore my ACL and while it's most certainly not a fun thing, I find the similarities in the rehab and the experiences they've all gone through compared to mine really interesting. Because whilst on a sheet of paper, football and ballet are nothing alike, the rehab after an ACL injury is really similar and I mean it could be put down to both being quite foot or leg-focused but I find it really interesting. Especially with what Viv and Beth are doing with their documentary, spreading word about it, getting people to understand the severity of it and helping everyone understand why it's happening or trying to. I guess the biggest difference is that ACL injuries are extremely prominent in women's football and my injury was sort of like any other injury, a mistake or whatever you want to call it."
bethmead_ ❤️❤️❤️
Everyone could see you intently staring at your phone in silence for a moment, reading the comments, before you screamed and jumped from your chair, you laughed and settled back into your chair, "Sorry, guys! Oh my days, Beth! Hi, oh my, oh I love you so much. Not in a weird way! In a fan way! Sorry, oh my days, y/n you're embarrassing yourself." You placed your hands on your head and took a deep breath. "Sorry guys, so onto my hair! I hate doing my hair," You sulked slightly.
leahwilliamsonn ❤️❤️❤️
"That's crazy," You sat in awe, "What is going on! Hi, Leah," You waved like a little girl, "This is crazy..." You did your hair humming with a smile on your face.
"Sorry for being silent for a hot sec, I can't focus on anything other than my hair when I'm doing it for a show." You smiled meekly at the camera.
bethmead_ will we be seeing you at the Watford game?
You squealed with pure excitement, "Yes! 1000%, I am going to be the Watford game. Of course, I am.”
You apologised that you had to step out of frame for a moment to put on your costume. 
“Alright, surprise reveal for the costume of the night! Drum roll please…” You stepped into the frame in your Sugar Plum Princess leotard, looking a little bit silly without your tutu, “Sorry for not being in my tutu but I can’t sit in it and I have to drive to the Oprah House so…”
lottewubbenmoy see you there 😉
You almost fainted once you saw Lotte’s comment, due to fear or excitement maybe, but most likely from the scream you let out that had you explaining the last hour to your neighbour.

📮DITCH THE WHOLE SCENE- send me a character and any option from my request guidelines and I'll write a baby blurb/dialogue for it
Tumblr media
OFF-LIMITS | S.B.
word count: 0.9k
warnings: pairings in the tags, little suggestive comment at the end
summary: after getting a little carried away at the after-party, you wake up in your brother's best friend's bed, which is not the best situation to be in on the morning of a meet and greet
"My brother is going to kill me," you were searching for your socks, you didn't need them as much as your search made it seem but it was better than losing your mind while doing nothing. "My brother is going to kill you," you found one, groaning lightly as you kneeled down beside the bed to pick it up, looking up when Sirius sat up on the bed, throwing his legs over the side in the process.
"Good morning," he hummed and you wanted to throw him with the sock, be damned if it got lost again, because how very well dare he be so calm. Sitting there shirtless looking as unfairly sexy as ever giving you that same little smirk that convinced you that sharing a bed instead of booking another room wasn't as bad an idea as you knew it was. "Did you sleep well?" he was kidding, he had to be. Did you sleep well all cuddled up in his strong tattooed arms? Yes. Have you been dreaming about doing that since your first show together? Also yes, but none of that would matter once your brother found out and killed the two of you.
"Sirius, are you aware of our current situation?" he didn't seem like he was, gentle hand reaching out to help you up and sliding right down to your waist to keep you in front of him. He was showing you no mercy, allowing his thumb to slip past the hem of your shirt, brushing over your skin a few times, only satisfied when you shivered lightly under the soft, forbidden touch.
"Everything is going to be fine," he promised and you rolled your eyes, clearly not on the same page. "Love, we didn't do anything wrong, yeah, there's no reason to freak out."
"We cuddled," you began, allowing him to pull you closer, knees against his, your hand settling around his wrist. "And we kissed, a lot," you looked down shyly, there hadn't been much time to process that part just yet.
"The scandal," he mused, admittedly satisfied with your reaction as he laughed lightly, stealing a quick glance at his pillow stained with your makeup before looking back to you with a smile. "We didn't do anything wrong," his smirk deepened, eyes practically laced with mischieve as he shrugged. "Not yet, anyway."
"You don't get it, trouble," your body moved without your permission, his lap seeming to be the perfect seat as you settled on his thigh, dragging a hand through his hair with a little shake of your head. "He made me promise, once I stepped onto that stage with you guys, you were off-limits."
"You were off-limits too," he agreed and it was sort of pathetic how he became putty in your hands so quickly, the simple touch of your fingers threading the paths in his hair had him close to purring, eyes nearly closing. "Shit, maybe we really are screwed," he breathed and the grip on your hips was enough proof, his head lulling forward against your shoulder, kisses breathed over your skin.
"What are we going to do?" he wasn't all that eager to answer, a faint smile finding your lips as his kisses spread to your neck, a feeling you'd never thought you'd be lucky enough to be familiar with, but as guilty as you felt, you weren't sure you'd be able to stay away again. "Do we go back to just being friends?" you were nervous for the answer, your heart knew that whatever happened the night before was right, it felt right, too perfect to be wrong, but your head knew that things would be complicated if you continued to act on what your heart wanted.
"Could you do that?" he peeked up at you with big curious eyes, up through his lashes and it made your heart do leaps in your chest, your fingers moving gently to reach up and smooth the frown from his lips- you shook your head. "Then we take it slow, yeah, see if it works- we don't have to tell anyone anything just yet, not until we're sure."
"And if I'm sure now?" he smirked, any sense of seriousness gone in a second as he tightened his hold and threw you onto the bed beside him, crushing you under his weight but you didn't mind, anything but.
"Then we just get to enjoy our little secret for a while," you didn't know where to put your hands, sliding them up his chest and eventually stopping to cup his cheeks, not even daring to bite back your happy smile. "You like the sound of that, sunshine?"
"Maybe," you lied, he noticed, and the way he leaned down to kiss you was an excruciatingly long wait, so when his lips finally met yours you couldn't even help but melt, humming against him and the sound vibrated right through his body. "Didn't think I'd ever get to do that in real life."
"Is it better than in your dreams?'
"So much," he was pleased with that, making sure the next kiss lasted even longer, savouring every second, because he knew that for as long as you had to hide whatever you had going on, moments were going to be fleeting, special and he didn't want to take for granted the time he had with you now.
"Good, now what I'm wondering is what other dreams we could put to the test..." your cheeks were burning, skin tingling at his tone and you knew he wasn't one to tease without following through which is why the groan that left his mouth following the knock at the door was anything but exaggerated.
"Pads, you better not still be in bed," your brother's voice was like a cruel hand dragging you right back to reality, a finger on your lips reminding you to keep quiet when you tried to push Sirius off you. "You've got ten minutes before we're leaving, mate, I need to go find my bloody sister," and then he was gone, the last thing you expected to hear in return was the soft laugh of the rockstar on top of you.
"You're not going to make this easy on me, are you, trouble?" he shook his head and you were gone, there'd be no return to friends if that look, that torturous little look, was anything to go by.
"You know the answer to that, sunshine."

performance anxiety.
Tumblr media
-> lyney x fem!famous singer!reader
-> warnings: mentions of past bad relationship, anxiety, no use of y/n
-> words: 3.4k
[a/n]: this was not supposed to be this long but. not proofread, idk what universe this is in where all of these characters are friends but shut up. i just started writing, gun to my head i could not tell you what happens in this story
Applause. Roses. Adoration. Entertainment. 
You craved the effervescence of the spotlight. The thrill of being on stage. Millions of eyes are on you and you alone– coming together for the sole purpose of viewing you. 
It seemed a bit voyeuristic, but you couldn’t care less as the final notes of your song rang out across stages all over the country and applause replaced the roaring in your ears. People stood as they clapped, whooping and hollering. All for you. 
You stood before them night after night, baring the roughest edges of yourself on the stage for them all to judge. You were vulnerable to every attack possible– verbal, physical, emotional. Yet none occurred, save for the dozens of flowers that showered you every night as you completed a performance flawlessly once again. 
It was only after you made it backstage to your dressing room that you finally took a breath. A very shaky, very exhausted breath. Stagehands ran back and forth, putting up props and fixing light fixtures for someone else’s performance the next night, but they reassured you that nobody could possibly outshine you after you had christened the Opera Epiclese. 
Your first performance in Fontaine. In your hometown. 
“That was amazing!” Your manager burst through the door, a cup of water in her hands. She passes it to you. “One of your best performances yet– not that the others were bad! Quite the opposite, actually–”
“I get it. Thank you.” You chewed on your lip, gazing at yourself in the mirror. You looked frazzled up close with the stage makeup slightly smeared across your face. Not enough for the audience to notice, though. No, to them, you were perfection. “I hope they thought the same.”
“Are you kidding? You were amazing. I bet you made at least ten men think about leaving their wives for you tonight.” You cut your eyes at her, and she backtracked immediately. “I-I mean! Oh, that was such a bad analogy, wasn’t it? I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine.” 
It really wasn’t fine, but you weren’t going to make your friend-turned-manager feel any worse than she already does for bringing up the past. You weren’t married– Archons, no– but you lived a fast life that not many were equipped to handle, especially if they were staying home while you traveled Teyvat on a tour. 
Your ex couldn’t handle you and your lifestyle, so he handled others in bed instead. 
It didn’t sting as bad as you would have expected it to. You couldn’t take the time to grieve, not when there was a performance in Natlan the night you found out. Other performers and those who lived a more nomadic lifestyle had warned you about failed relationships and friendships with those who did not stay close or did not understand the busyness of traveling. You truly believed you were the exception, and now you realize that such relationships are impossible. You chose this life, thus giving up the idea of a simple love. Your friends were your manager and the crew that traveled with you, and that was that. You didn’t stay anywhere long enough to culminate true, meaningful connections with anyone. 
“Are you ready for the encore?” 
You swiped another layer of lipstick on and fluffed your hair in the mirror before turning back to your manager. 
“Born ready.” 
—---
Lyney sat on the edge of his seat for the past hour and a half and continues to do so, staring at the dark stage. 
His sister keeps a hand near his chair, just in case he somehow leans too far forward and falls out of it completely. She’ll never understand his infatuation with such a famous singer– it’s not like he had a shot with you anyway. Nevertheless, she made sure to surprise him with front-row tickets the minute she learned of your performance at Fontaine’s beloved Opera Epiclese. 
Lyney nearly cried in happiness and he’s nearly crying now, praying to every Archon above that you’re going to come out for an encore and that this isn’t the end of your show. The tears almost fall as the spotlight graces the stage once more and music fills the room. 
Everyone in Fontaine tried to get tickets for your performance and the most influential of citizens were sure to attend. Furina sat in the VIP box, leaning on her hand as she watched you step back onstage. She was quiet for once, enraptured by your voice. Clorinde was at her side. Neuvillette sat near the twins, seated but smiling. Charlotte and Navia were a bit further back, Charlotte furiously scribbling on her notepad to review the performance. She stopped writing halfway through, though, unable to stop herself from just enjoying the performance. Wriothesley and Sigewinne showed their faces from outside of the Fortress, the former succumbing to the latter’s pleas for tickets. Even Freminet was there, on the other side of Lyney, just happy to see his brother so happy. 
And yet there he was, sitting in the middle of the row, front and center. A perfect view. And there you were, in that jaw-dropping dress that sparkled perfectly in the lights, reflecting the same way the stars in the sky shined. Lyney was positive there were also stars in his eyes, but he couldn’t help it. 
And when the performance was over, Lyney finally sat back in his seat and exhaled a deep breath– one he had been holding since the minute you appeared onstage. 
Lynette looked him over as if to make sure he was okay and happy. She didn’t need any words to tell that he was over the moon. “Are you ready to go?”
“Just– just give me one minute.”
—---
“How long will you be in Fontaine?”
“Probably a week or two, at most.” You hummed, finally eating a snack left for you by the Hydro Archon herself. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been home. I’d like to stay a bit longer.” 
“Hmm,” Furina’s finger tapped her chin– a clear sign that she was thinking. About what, nobody could tell. “How about another performance before you leave? Many people didn’t get tickets to this first show. You’ve had so many supporters from here since you started. Why not give them a special thanks? Especially me, since I’ve supported you and been your friend for all these years?” 
You squinted at her for a moment, trying to decipher what she could be devising in her head. You weren’t a mind reader, and Furina didn’t necessarily all have it going on in her head, so you opted to just ask her outright. “What could you possibly gain from that?” 
She reeled back, feigning offense. “Nothing! It’s-it’s just that it’s great for business. And we’re having special visitors soon who may want to see. Totally not because I want to watch it again– heh.”
“What special visitors?”
“Why, the Traveler and Paimon, of course!” Furina clapped, “Yes, yes. They’d love to see your performance.”
“Hm.” You continued staring at her, unconvinced that the legendary Traveler wanted to see your performance. But, you did get to perform again and get a part of the profits. You didn’t see why not. “Fine.” 
The squeal that came out of Furina’s mouth was enough to almost break your glass of water– a feat many singers trained to do for years and could not accomplish. Yet, your friend was close to doing it without even trying out of sheer excitement. 
She grabbed your hand once you were done changing clothes and dragged you out of the dressing room. You had no choice but to follow as she led you into the main room, where the audience sat. It looked much different from before with the lights on and the chairs empty. 
Except for two chairs, three people still present in the opera house. 
At the sound of her voice, the three turned around. There was a pair of twins and a younger blonde boy. The twin boy made eye contact with you and seemed to shoot straight up, becoming entranced as he saw you. This was typically a normal reaction for fans, but there was one difference this time. 
You were entranced too. 
Furina looked at the three and huffed. “Isn’t it time for you to go home?”
“Sorry, Lady Furina,” The youngest boy spoke and motioned to the other boy, whose face was bright red. “Lyney just needed to sit for a minute.”
“Is he okay?” You tilted your head, gently shaking free of Furina and walking to them. Furina gasped and crossed her arms, almost angry that she didn’t have your attention anymore as your self-titled “best friend”. “Your face is hot.” 
The twin girl hid her mouth with her hand. “He’ll be okay eventually. I think he got overheated or something. Got all nauseous and dizzy.”
“Oh my Gods, I’m so sorry!” You felt awful– you had told someone that you felt the air was a bit too hot in the audience, but you were brushed off. This just proved that you were right. “You all come with me, there’s fresh water and everything in the guest house I’m staying in tonight.”
You ushered everyone out of Opera Epiclese and into the small building next to it. It was the guesthouse, built solely for performers without a place to stay as they traveled. You were given it for your time in Fontaine and couldn’t be more grateful, especially at a time like this when someone is in need. 
Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet– as you learned their names were– followed you and a pouting Furina into the house. You offered them all a seat on the couches and chairs before running to the kitchen and grabbing a bowl of cool water and a rag. You sat next to Lyney, who was silent the entire time, and neared his face as you put the rag on his forehead. You were a bit confused at Lynette and Furina’s snickering behind you, but you could only worry about the boy in front of you whose face turned even redder at your closeness. 
“Say,” Furina spoke up, “Lyney and Lynette here are performing at the Opera Epiclese tomorrow. Fancy a show?”
“Really?” You looked into Lyney’s eyes, “What do you do?”
He swallowed, and you wondered if he needed a glass of water. “Magic.”
“You’re magicians? No way!” You grinned, “I’ve always wanted to see a magic show live! Furina, I think we should go. I’d love to see more of these two.”
“I do too.” Lynette joined, “We can get you on the reservation list for front and center… unless you’d like to sit VIP with Furina?” 
“We’ll both sit front row. Neuvillette can have front row if he wishes to attend.” Furina grinned at Lynette, and you couldn’t help but feel like you were missing out of something as you cared for Lyney. 
“Wonderful.” Lynette stands up, followed by Freminet. “I think Lyney just needs rest now, but we don’t live far in the Court of Fontaine. We probably need to head out before it gets too late.” 
You nod and hold your hand out to Lyney, who takes a second of staring before taking your hand and hoisting himself up. You both definitely hold on a bit too long to be typical for someone you just met, but exceptions could always be made. 
“I’ll see you tomorrow then, Lynette.” You glance back at the boy at your side. “Lyney.” 
“Y-yes.” He speaks. You like his voice. “Tomorrow evening. I’d love to see you there.” 
After the three left, Furina stayed on your couch and stared. 
You sat across from her, staring back with a puzzled expression. 
This was the longest you’d ever heard her be quiet and it was incredibly unnerving. You couldn’t take much more of this. 
“What?”
Another beat of silence. “What do you mean ‘what’?”
“What do you mean ‘what do you mean’? What did I do?”
“You’ve never done that before.”
“Done what, Furina? I don’t have time for this–”
“Gotten all flustered like that. You don’t even dote on me like that and I’m your best friend.”
“Lynette said that he got overheated during the performance.” You defended, “I had to help him, I felt bad. I told the crew that it was too hot in there but they didn’t listen–”
“You’re stupid.” Before you could retort in offense, Furina leaned forward. “You haven’t been that open and nice since…” 
You’re glad she doesn’t finish that sentence– doesn’t let his name leave her mouth. Furina is right and you know it, but you definitely don’t want to admit that. Especially not to her. 
“I just felt bad.” She doesn’t believe you and you know it. “Fur, you know I can’t. People can’t keep up with my life. He’s cute, but I’m better off alone.” 
Furina looks away for a moment as if to think about what she’s going to say next for the first time ever. “He’s different.” 
“You don’t know that.”
“First, I know him better than you do. I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with that crew, and I’m the Hydro Archon. I know everyone in Fontaine.” She twirls a finger around her hair– a telltale sign that she’s desperate for someone to listen to her. You want to oblige, but your mind won’t let you. “Lyney understands the life of a performer. Has he traveled? No. But I bet he’d be more than willing to travel with you as like– an opening act or something!” She snaps her fingers as if this is some sort of life-changing revelation. 
Your anxiety says otherwise. 
“What about Lynette and Freminet?”
“They can go with you!” She says as if it’s the easiest thing in the world. “Lynette is Lyney’s assistant, so she has to go. Freminet would be good with helping with finances or something. Or if you happen to drop your wedding ring in the ocean, he can get it.”
“Wedding ring?”
“Yeah, for when you marry–”
A knock on the door interrupts her and you’ve never been happier. You give each other confused looks before you get up and open the door a crack. Behind it is a face all-too-familiar, and you open it wider. 
“I-uh, forgot my hat here.” Lyney, cheeks still rosy, rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment. 
“O-oh, of course!” You stammer out, leaving him at the door and finding his hat in one of the other chairs. Furina stares him down in a way that makes him feel like he’s intruding on a very important conversation, but he tries to brush it off as one of her theatrics. 
Lyney’s smile returns when you appear again, his hat in your hands, and tries to ignore the jump of his heart as his fingers accidentally brush yours when he takes it. “Thank you so much.” You watch as his figure begins to retreat from the guesthouse, but he quickly turns around and waves. “And I do hope to see you tomorrow.”
—---
Lyney does, in fact, get to see you tomorrow. 
Peeking through the curtain, he sees you front and center, sitting in the same exact seat that he was in the night before. Furina is at your side, chatting with you happily and ignoring the questioning whispers of her citizens as they question why she’s on the floor instead of in her box. Their questions cease when they see you. 
A bit of jealousy hits him as he sees some citizens ask for your autograph or come up to talk to you, but he can’t dwell on it long before Lynette is behind him. 
“Is she here?”
“Yes.” He lets out a nervous breath. “Everything has to be perfect tonight.” 
“It will be.” She reassures, “And don’t worry about anything else. I have it all covered. She’s come to see you and you alone, so you just focus on being the best you can be.”
Lyney has never been more grateful for his sister than he is at that moment. Sure, it was one thing when she accepted his schoolgirl crush on a famous singer, but when she was actually here, at their show, watching him, she was the best wingman in Teyvat. 
He peeked out of the curtain once more, his breath catching in his throat when he sees you looking directly at him. You wave and send him a soft smile and Lyney can feel his entire body heat up. He’s determined and ready for this show to start. 
And with a short countdown, it does. 
In most performances, Lyney keeps his eyes above the crowd. It’s an illusion many performers learn– don’t look directly at anyone specifically, it’s easier to quell the anxiety of thousands of eyes being on you, judging your every move. He knows you do this tactic as well, getting to witness it firsthand last night as you wowed the crowd from the very stage he was on tonight. He wondered how he could possibly be equal to such a wonderful performance and his mind gets a bit louder as doubts start plaguing him. As quickly as they come, however, they disappear. 
Lyney looks at you. 
You’re dressed beautifully, hair and makeup done simply as if to bare the real you. Oh, how Lyney longs to know the real you. 
You think it’s a funny coincidence when the first rose comes to you. Just a chance that a draft happened to send it directly into your lap after Lyney throws it into the crowd. Same with the second rose, that he passed off to you personally as he walked by after doing his switch trick with the box. You realize it’s not just some happenstance when the performance ends and you are left with a bouquet of roses in your hands, your face hot as Furina teases you. 
“Rainbow roses have special meaning in Fontaine, you know.” She grinned. You swatted her away. 
“I know.” You huff, “He probably uses those in every show to make the little lucky audience girl feel special.”
Furina opens her mouth to speak, but a voice from behind speaks up before she can. “I normally use Romaritime Flowers, and only pull one out of my hat, but I thought tonight I could do something a little different.”
Lyney prays you aren’t uncomfortable when you turn around– the adrenaline of the show is the only thing driving him to speak to you steadily right now, and he didn’t know what he’d do if he got rejected. He’s pleasantly surprised when you do turn around and your mouth is slightly agape, your cheeks darker than usual. He did his job. 
“They’re beautiful. Thank you.”
“Keep them, they’re yours.” Lyney places his hands on yours to push them back when you go to give him back the bouquet, but he doesn’t remove them when you clutch the flowers to your chest. “This is my official offer– let me treat you to dinner.” 
You turn your head to give Furina a look, but she’s long gone. You make a note to curse her out later. 
“Lyney, I want to accept your offer. So badly. But I just know it won’t work.”
Seeing Lyney’s face fall almost makes you want to take it back, but you can’t. You can’t get hurt again. 
“Please,” His voice has gone soft, “How do you know that?”
“It’s happened before. I’m just protecting you. I’m going to be gone soon and you can forget about this little infatuation–”
“No!” Lyney blurts out but quickly composes himself. “You’re not protecting me, you’re protecting yourself. I’m not whatever man hurt you in the past. I’m a performer too, I can handle all the things that entails.” 
“Lyn… This is only my third country on my tour. I have so many more left, I’ll be gone for a very long time. It’s not fair to ask you to wait for me.”
“I think I get to decide what’s fair for me.” You don’t respond, looking away. Lyney takes your chin between his fingers to make you look at him. “And I think that me waiting for you is a fair trade if it means you come back to me in the end. Please, ma chérie. Consider it.” 
You took a breath, weighing the options as seriously as the Oratrice. You think back to your conversations– the ones with your manager, the ones with Furina. Finally, you meet his eyes fully. Lyney hasn’t looked away, a softness in his eyes that you were not expecting.
“Let’s go to dinner. I’ve been thinking of hiring an opening act for the rest of the tour anyways. How do you feel about that?”

their secret weapon pt. 2
Synopsis: Y/N is making their presence known as the newest member of The Judgement Day. 
Tags: wasn’t originally planning on making this poly!judgement day but lol i think that’s where this is headed...also minor violence, kissing, touching, dom!finn, dom!rhea, dom!damian, dom!dominik. 
A/N: thanks so much for all the love on part 1...do we turn this into a little series? 
Tumblr media
Y/N had been preparing for this moment for weeks now. There was a plan in place for introducing her to the WWE audience as a member of The Judgement Day, but there needed to be some buildup. They had to begin dropping some subtle hints, both on Y/N’s home stage of NXT and on The Judgement Day’s segments during Monday Night Raw. The four members dropped hints that they began scouting new members, but gave little to no specifics as to who it was. Y/N was getting a championship push on NXT, but as usual, they were going to walk away with nothing; that would be the moment it was made clear which side they were on. As far as they all knew, it was the best kept secret on WWE so far. No one on social media suspected anything, no one backstage new…it was going just as they wanted. 
During the last few weeks before the big reveal, Y/N had to spend as much time as possible proving themselves to the four disciples. They quickly began to recognize each of their roles in the group as well. Damian was ‘The Punisher’ for a reason; he held Y/N accountable, and punished their body almost every day in the practice ring. He helped them practice a new finisher and new submission moves to up their game in the ring, and he helped build new workouts that not only increased their strength but was already increasing their muscle. 
Finn was the mastermind. He was the main one building up this new character for Y/N and giving directions to the other three members of the group. Even though there was no true leader of The Judgement Day, he knew when to take control. He’d been in the business long enough to know what worked and what didn’t, and everyone in the group trusted him. Dominik was young, but he became a quick friend for Y/N. They were similar in age, and often felt the same about their roles in the industry before joining The Judgement Day. He was able to help Y/N build the confidence to stand on their own and show everyone that they deserved to be in this business. 
And Rhea…Rhea may have looked tough on the outside, but she’d never been more gentle with someone. She was touchy, often holding hands with Y/N or cuddling with them during late night conversations with the group. If anything, she was the most invested in Y/N’s new beginnings and did almost everything with them. What Y/N noticed about all of them though, is they worked as a team. No one member was above the others, and they all cared for one another. This is what Y/N needed, and they were shocked at how quickly they’d grown attached to each member. 
****
Tonight was the night. Y/N was going to make their alignment with The Judgement Day known, and no one was going to be able to stop them from accomplishing whatever they wanted in this business. They sat backstage in a private room with all four members, each of them dressed in black suits for when they made their appearance later in the night. Y/N was dressed in gear, stretching their body as they prepared for one of the more physically demanding matches of their career thus far. And even though it was going to be a tough fight, they weren’t going to walk out as champion. It was the last straw for them. 
Each of the four members stood by them until it was time to go to gorilla. When they got their cue, Y/N took a deep breath and smiled at each of their new partners as if to say ‘thank you’ for this new opportunity. Rhea placed a gentle hand on Y/N’s cheek and smiled at them. “Welcome to the rest of your life,” she said softly, her dark eye makeup clouding her eyes. Damian smiled as well and gently clapped Y/N’s back as well. “We’ll be there when it’s all over.”
Y/N nodded at everyone and put their jacket on, walking to the entrance and putting on their normal character for the audience. They were met with cheers as everyone rooted for them, but they had no clue what was going to be coming their way. Y/N felt like everything was a blur; every hit, every kick, every 2 count, the cheers in the audience…nothing even felt real. They couldn’t tell if it was the adrenaline of the match or the excitement of what was about to ensue afterwards, but either way it kept them going through every move their body made. 
As the main event of NXT that night, the match took quite some time before Y/N was down for a 3 count. The crowd cheered with mixed reactions as their opponent celebrated and exited the stage, and it took Y/N a minute or so before they sat up and looked at the WWE audience in shame. It was written all over their face…until the Performance Center went black around them. 
This was the moment Y/N had been waiting for. 
After some time, purple LED lights illuminated the center of the ring where Y/N stood. Confusion was written all over their face as the beginning of the storyline commenced, and some audience members began to cheer as they had an idea of what was going on. The fog machine billowed around the ring, and the first spotlight shined down on Dominik in one corner of the ring. One by one, the other three members of The Judgement Day were exposed to the audience and cheers erupted as the realization hit; Y/N, who had never turned heel in the industry before this, was getting their moment. 
Each member began slowly walking towards Y/N, who still stood in the center of the ring, giving them a predatory grin as they made it clear what their purpose was. “Welcome to your judgement day, Y/N.” Finn said for the camera to pick up, before the lights turned off again and the now five-member group was gone. 
Once backstage, Y/N couldn’t contain their excitement. They jumped into Rhea’s arms and smiled as each member congratulated them. “Our secret weapon.” Damian confirmed softly, each member nodding in agreement. Finn nodded before taking off his jacket. “Let’s get out of here,” he said. “I think it’s time we celebrate.” Dominik nodded and smirked at Y/N. “And one thing about The Judgement Day? We get rowdy.”

Extra number - a wolfstar AU
I tried to write a microfic for today's @wolfstarmicrofic prompt performer AU - it ended up over 1300 words = not a microfic at all. Enjoy!
Sirius was getting ready to head for makeup when the director came in.
"Paul's ill. Thankfully we've got a backup for his part. There's no time for you to repeat the whole thing together, I'm afraid. I hope it won't be too much of a problem."
Well, Sirius wasn't happy about it. But he was a professional, he'd make it work.
"He'll be here any minute so you can at least go over the duet and -"
The door opened again.
"Ah! Here he is. I believe you've worked with Mr Lupin before?"
Oh. Him. Mr prim and proper, all facade. Mr "I'll shagg you in the bathroom, then not even walk too close if there's the slightest chance of a camera". He had thought he had left those heart-wrecking months hoping there would ever be something more behind him in New York.
"Yeah, we've met", he admitted wryly.
Remus gave him a crooked smile. Sirius reluctantly shook his outstretched hand. His big, warm, and pleasantly steady hand. Met his inviting amber eyes and broadening smile. Nope. He was never falling for that again.
They really had a very short time to repeat. And Remus called them done early, wanting plenty of time in makeup.
"Are you really that worried about your looks?" Sirius mocked even though he'd seen the scars before. He knew Remus always wore long sleeves and high collars when they weren't covered up neatly. Of course, it took ages.
"If you don't care about your appearance, why the piercings? Why the hairstyling?" he replied calmly.
"Different thing. Different reason."
"What do you know about my reasons?"
"I’m well aware of how desperate you are to not let anyone see the slightest crack in your perfect facade."
Sirius left before he could reply. They could not get into an argument now. He had to stay focused.
When Sirius went on stage the thoughts of Remus were stored away where they didn't hinder him from opening the show as big and bold as always.
The second part was mostly Remus'. He did it well with only a few mistakes that the audience hardly noticed, despite his minimal time to prepare. He was nothing if not a good performer. On and off stage, that was.
For the third part, they worked together. Remus was taller than Paul, and Sirius had to take slightly longer steps to keep up, but it was alarmingly easy to fall into the same rhythm. Sirius remained focused, remained in character. It worked until the duet. Remus' eyes had him losing his stage persona and craving him for himself.
He might regret it later, but he was a professional and the audience deserved that he did his best. To deliver feeling you needed to feel. So, he looked into Remus' playful eyes again and let himself yearn. The passion in his voice came effortlessly.
They locked hands and bowed to the applause, as expected. They walked out, still hand in hand, and Remus' thumb brushed his knuckles. They hugged behind the curtain, as colleagues might. The sudden closeness so soon after the adrenalin still broke Sirius' resolve. His breath stuck in his throat as he breathed in the familiar scent. He needed him closer. His hands moved up his back under his shirt. His lips hungrily pressed against his. Until they disappeared, Remus quickly pulled back, leaving Sirius struggling to reorient himself. Right, they were still backstage.
"That was amazing!" The director handed them each a glass of champagne.
"Maybe we should team up again?" Remus said looking directly at him with a wanting expression that sent shivers down Sirius' spine. His body betrayed him again. He knew he had fallen too easily.
"Are you sure that would fit your image?" he asked icily.
The look of hurt in Remus' eyes shouldn't make his heart ache. It should be just what that bastard deserved.
"As if you don't have an image?!" Remus put the glass back in the confused director’s hands and took a step forward. "Wild and crazy. On the front page with a new conquest every week", he mocked.
"If people wanna interpret a kiss on the cheek as me having slept with someone that’s on them." The director hastily excused himself and Sirius dared to add "At least I'm open with my sexuality."
Remus pursed his lips furiously.
"What? Are you jealous?"
"Is that so hard to imagine? I thought we had something special."
"So did I, until you didn't want to be seen with me in daylight!"
Remus looked at the floor. When no replay came, Sirius quickly gathered his things and stormed out. He spent a very lonely night at the hotel room, and the next day ignoring phone calls and texts from both Remus ("I just want to talk" - bullshit) and the director (he would be working with Mr Lupin this evening as well, a thousand apologies).
That evening he met a very quiet and subdued Remus in makeup. When the girl asked to start on his arms, he refused.
Sirius looked up "What are you doing?"
"Apparently being open is very important to you."
The pain in his voice made Sirius' heart ache again. "I don't want to bully you into doing anything. Just don't think you can use me as... just don’t use me."
Remus smiled meekly and tried to sound reassuring "I know. This is for the best."
Despite everything, Sirius melted. It was true that he didn't know Remus' reasons for keeping his scars hidden, but he recognised fear when he saw it. He pressed Remus' hand. "Look, don't do anything rushed. Don't do anything you don't want to do."
"I've had plenty of time to think. After New York... I really missed you. And I've realised that for things to work out, I need to do this."
Five minutes before the start, he borrowed a microphone.
"Good evening, everyone. The show is about to start. But first: story time!"
"Those of you sitting close can see that I have scars on my arms and neck. They are 15 years old. You've never seen them, because I've always covered them up. But not anymore. Today I want to tell you what happened."
"Once upon a time, when I was a young aspiring singer, I met a bloke in a bar. We caught a liking for each other and headed home together. Holding hands. Kissing. We ran into a gang that..." he closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands for a second, "didn’t share our view of love. I woke up in the hospital."
Sirius held his breath.
"My friend didn't wake up at all."
The audience was dead silent.
"Respecting everyone is the most important message I could give you. But what I really wanted to talk about today is meeting your fears. You see, the problem with being gay and not letting anyone know is you get very limited. There's a lot of things you can’t do. Like asking your crush out, for one thing."
He stage whispered to the audience: "Guess who my new crush is?"
The crowd murmured excitedly.
"The very handsome, very talented Sirius Black."
The audience cheered and whistled.
Remus stage whispered again: "Do you think he'll say yes if I ask for a kiss?"
The audience cheered again. He was an excellent performer. But Sirius caught the tremble in his voice.
The director pushed Sirius on stage. He slowly walked up to Remus, meeting wide honest eyes.
"I had no idea" he whispered apologetically.
"How could you? I never told anyone." Remus' fingertips gingerly brushed his cheek. He reached forward, raised on his tiptoes, and smiled as their lips pressed together. Soft, lovingly, unrushed.
The audience went crazy.
That show Sirius made a few embarrassingly basic mistakes. But the audience probably forgave him, they got an extra number at the beginning after all.
More importantly, he and Remus left holding hands and didn't let go of each other until Sirius pushed him down on his hotel bed.

it's yellowjackets / jennifer's body parallels time!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hi hello keep reading if you would like to hear about shauna/jennifer and jackie/needy, here's my totally noncomprehensive, very much off the cuff thoughts on this very complex and interesting dynamic!!
(i'm not getting into the basic parallels, i'm gonna assume you know the karyn kusama of it all, the heart necklace, the homoerotic female friendship, the death)
yellowjackets is so brilliant because it feeds you stereotypes and absolutely does not deliver on them. there could be an entire paper on each girl and how this is true for them specifically, but walk quickly with me because i want to get into the nitty gritty gory fun stuff! a brief oversimplified example: nat is referred to as a burnout, some would assume she's a loner based on that, but she cares about the team as a unit more than arguably anyone else. (this is common in real life too, our stereotypes often don't hold water in reality and yj reflects that beautifully!)
now to the jackie/shauna of it all. it would be oh so incredibly easy to look at jackie and think she's the jennifer of the duo. we are set up to see her as prettier, more popular, more demanding. but that illusion falls apart QUICKLY if you pay attention to the things that jackie actually says and does. she's not a mean girl. she's actually one of the kindest on the team. she doesn't pick on shauna, she clings. there are plenty of takes on this on tumblr so i won't exhaust it, my adhd loves to digress and meander but i'm forcing myself back onto the trodden path to this point: people look at the first few minutes of the pilot and they immediately decide that they know who these girls are. the audience typecasts jackie as a jennifer and shauna as a needy. the popular, bubbly girl and her shy, bookworm best friend.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
a lot of people, especially casual viewers who don't study this show like its their job (god, wonder what that would be like lol) understandably stop here. but to me the BRILLIANCE of yj is that they don't actually make it HARD for you to undo your initial impressions. the material is there. it isn't hidden. it isn't some deeper self of each character that is unraveled throughout seasons. they push, push, push to see just how far they can carry our deeply held stereotypes/expectations. how forward and violent can shauna be, with viewers still clinging to a shy and sweet girl, who was really their own creation? how kind and honestly pathetic kicked-puppy can jackie be, with viewers still clinging to a mean girl, who was really their own creation? how far will we go to warp the characters intentions, so that we can keep them in the box we understand them in? they ask this of the viewer and of other characters, but AGAIN i digress.
so, while this might sit strangely with some, yes i think that jackie is very much aligned with needy if you peel back just one layer. but far above and beyond that, shauna is so very fucking jennifer.
the overall veneer is thinned immediately in yj. there isn't one girl in the stands and one on center stage. jackie and shauna are both on the team. they go to the same parties, they play the same sport, i would argue that shauna isn't even coded as "less pretty" (please note the word coded, because i'm not saying needy is literally less pretty than jennifer, i am simply saying that we have hair, makeup, clothing, glasses trends that we use to stereotype characters, are you with me?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so now what? now these girls are both and neither. shauna thinks that she is the needy to jackie's jennifer. jackie wears the necklace and the introductory shots frame her as important. but we're already diverting from that set-up.
our absolute clearest common denominator here is one that i rarely see people mention funnily enough: JENNIFER IS A SUCCUBUS. she CONSUMES. she KILLS. she WANTS and she TAKES.
now before you get TOO EXCITED!!! i see some of you getting ready to say i'm a shauna shipman hater, put the pitchforks down!! shauna is one of my favorite characters of all time. i love her crazy ass so deeply that it's alarming. (i don't hate jennifer, either, for the record.) i love her largely for WHAT she is. i think sanitizing or sweetening her is a disservice. she's amazing and complex and wounded and capable of deep love. but she also, quite LITERALLY, consumes.
her character is sex and desire and violence and obsession and consumption. and it's AMAZING. she's POWERFUL. she's our main framing character (in this dynamic), rather than needy. the scripts are switched. jennifer dies and needy lives, and that's one story. that's clearer cut, simpler, made for a horror film. but here, jackie dies and shauna lives, and that story is deep and rich and goes on to include a whole lot more death and destruction and chaos.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
shauna tells us herself that it excites her. she likes it. she is this girl. this woman. she reminisces and she recreates and she covets.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
jennifer tries to consume needy, shauna literally consumes jackie.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there's more to this story, obviously. you could deep dive and mine for the intricacies of the set up and fall of stereotype and expectation, or collect all of the exact parallels. but i'll stick with a few, because this is a quick outburst of thought.
a huge one, who is taking whose boyfriend?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
here's another personal favorite of mine, just for kicks
Tumblr media Tumblr media
is it too complex to neatly tuck away? absolutely. they're different stories with different themes. shauna isn't simply a teenager possessed by a demon. it runs far deeper. as is the essence of this show.
but if you want to look at parallels, look at the one who has been holding the knife the whole time.

- Star Of My Night -
YU JIMIN (KARINA) x FEM!READER
Prompt: Karina gets dragged out to a bar with a few idols for a girls night out. Her night eventually got interesting the moment her eyes landed on a woman with her electric guitar on the stage.
Warnings/Notes: Third person POV, G!P Y/n, guitarist!Y/n, Haze members are all original characters, almost smut near in the end
———
Karina was certain that her head was gonna explode as Giselle asked her the same question for the millionth time. “Pleeeeaaassseee go out with us?” She even tried putting on her best puppy eyes.
The blonde girl sighed and and threw her head back on the bed. “Ok fine! Just stop trying to act cute, it doesn’t suit you”
“As long as it gets you to finally come out the house for once” Giselle shrugged before slapping the shorter’s knee. “You always isolate yourself in this dorm! It doesn’t hurt to have at least 2 seconds of human interaction”
Karina sat up with a huge frown. “Doesn’t THIS count as human interaction?” Karina pointed a finger between her and the girl in front of her.
“It doesn’t count because we LIVE TOGETHER YOU IDIOT! I’m talking about some proper human interaction. Like go on a date with an idol or something, like, Le Sserafim’s Yunjin. Didn’t she text you about going out for ramen?”
“Mmm her and I have agreed that we see each other as bestfriends. She’s hot and plays guitar or whatever but we won’t click”
“Oh so your type is a tall hot girl who plays guitar? Noted. Who knows, maybe you’ll see one tonight at the bar”
Karina rolled her eyes. “We’ll see. What time are we heading there?”
Giselle looked at the alarm clock besides Karina’s bed. “Yuqi Unnie said to be there 8pm sharp”
“Yuqi Unnie is coming?! I thought you said it would only be us and the members!” Karina hissed, sending multiple slaps to the other’s arm.
“Stop hitting me! And yes Yuqi and her members are joining us too”
Karina crossed her arms, sending a harsh glare towards her member. “Anyone else coming that I should know about?”
Giselle gulped and looked away while fiddling with her fingers. “And Le Sserafim”
Karina flopped back into her bed again. “Oh my god you might as well invite Blackpink and Itzy while you’re at it!”
“I did but they have a busy schedule..” Giselle mumbled guiltily.
“This is too much human interaction”
“How?! You’re an ENFP for god’s sakes!”
“And ENFP who wants some GODDAMN PEACE!”
Giselle stood up and headed for the opened door. “Complain all you want Rina just be ready by 7:30”
Hearing the door shut and the miracle of silence, the blonde Aespa leader chewed on her lower lip and turned her head to her closet. “I guess I should start preparing an outfit”
———
“For someone who complained a lot a few hours ago, you look hot” Giselle smirked, looking at her leader who was doing small face touch ups at her mirror.
“Of course. Always have to look good” Karina smiled and finished applying her lipstick before standing up.
She wore a short black strapless dress that hugged her body tightly. Her blonde hair was curled to perfection and her makeup completed her seductive look. Even though she wasn’t planning on seducing anyone that night.
“The other two ready?” Karina asked and Giselle nodded, gesturing for them to leave.
After a short cab journey, the 4 members finally arrived in front of the bar that was already filled with people. NingNing thanked and paid the driver before they hopped out and and met G-Idle and Lesserafim just outside the place.
“Hey guys how are you all!?” Yuqi greeted excitedly, hugging and smiling at all the girls.
She led them all inside and managed to score a VIP table that was just next to the stage where instruments were placed. Karina sat in between Shuhua and Chaewon, sipping on the cocktails that Yuqi ordered. The conversation in the table was soon interrupted when 4 unfamiliar faces walked onto the stage but one face caught Karina’s attention.
A tall woman with long black hair and wispy fringe picked up the electric guitar and threw its strap onto her shoulder before adjusting her ear pieces. She was wearing a black fitted shirt, baggy jeans and black Doctor Martens. What completed her overall hot look was the silver chain dangling from her neck and the tattoos all over both arms.
Karina concluded that she had just found her eye candy of the night.
“Good evening everyone!” The person on the mic greeted aloud, erupting cheers from everyone in the bar.
“My name is Choi Eunsook, I am the vocalist and leader of Haze. On drums is Jang Hanna, on bass is Kang Hyunjung, and on guitar is Lee Y/N!”
The cheers got louder and Karina quickly joined in despite her focus remaining on who she now knew as Y/n.
“To begin we’d like to perform one of Y/n’s self written songs called ‘To Be With You’ Hope you enjoy!” Eunsook smiled as Hanna tapped her sticks and the band began to play.
“That guitarist is pretty hot don’t ya think, Rina?” Winter wiggled her eyebrows, letting the whole table hear.
Chaewon gasped and gently shook Karina’s shoulders. “Does someone have a little crush~ She’s super hot Karina, you should totally ask for her number later!”
“Are you insane? She probably has a girlfriend!”
“Mmm don’t think so. She’s looking right at you!” Shuhua gave rapid taps to Karina’s shoulder who turned her head to the guitarist.
And Shuhua was right.
Her eye candy of the night was looking right at her and she didn’t bother looking away even when the Aespa leader had made eye contact. Y/n gave a small smile in which Karina responded with nothing but red cheeks.
“She’s sooooo into you, Rina!” Miyeon laughed.
After a few more original songs and covers, Eunsook drank some water before returning the mic to her lips. “That was our final song everybody, enjoy the rest of your night! We’ll be around”
“I’m gonna go to the bathroom” Karina said despite the loud bar music that started to blast through the entire place.
“Did you want me to come with?” Minnie offered but Karina smiled and shook her head.
“I’ll be okay, don’t worry. Could you order me another cocktail please?”
Minnie nodded as the blonde Aespa member walked away to the back where the toilets were located. It didn’t take long for her to go in and back out, thanking the heavens that the bathroom was decent than most bars. She dried her hands and exited to return to the girls but an unfamiliar man stood in front of her and by the way he looked at Karina made it obvious as to what he wanted.
“Hi angel” He smirked and Karina had never rolled her eyes so hard before.
“Can I help you?”
“My table is nearby and I think my friends would love to meet you”
“No, I’m good. Now if you’ll excuse me-“ Karina’s heart stopped when the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer, allowing her to smell the alcohol from his body.
“Don’t be like that, angel. No one likes a party pooper. Come on, have a few drinks with us!”
“P-Please let me go..”
The man inched his nose towards Karina’s hair and took a nice whiff. “You smell so good”
Before he could make another comment, another hand (but much softer) took her other wrist and yanked her away from the man’s grip.
“You have some fucking nerve to be touching my girl like that, Kyle”
Karina’s eyes widened when she realised her saviour was Haze’s guitarist. At this point, she couldn’t tell if her heart was beating like crazy because of the yucky interaction with Kyle or because Y/n went from holding her wrist to holding her hand.
“Oh it’s you Y/n, I was just tryna make a new friend” Kyle laughed and attempted to grab Karina again but Y/n pulled Karina behind her, acting as her shield.
“A new friend for you to use as a fuck toy?”
Kyle laughed again. “I wouldn’t say it like that”
Y/n walked closer so her taller body towered over Kyle, his height just reaching Y/n’s shoulder.
“If I see you harass another person in here, I won’t hesitate to call Shownu and ban you not only from this bar but also every bar or club here. Comprende?”
“Yes ma’am” Kyle sighed and slowly backed away before making his full exit.
Y/n watched him leave and quickly turned to the blonde girl, letting go of her hand to Karina’s dismay. “Hey, are you alright? Did he touch you anywhere?”
“No I’m okay! Just a little startled, that’s all” Karina smiled and Y/n smiled back.
‘Oh my god she’s so hot’ Karina squealed in her mind. “Was that guy your friend or something?” The blonde asked.
“Nah he’s a regular at this bar and is known for being a creep. Gave him enough warnings already, I don’t know why he doesn’t listen. I’ll inform Shownu to keep an eye out on him”
“He doesn’t look like he’s from here”
“He’s an international uni student from Madrid but he doesn’t matter anymore. Are you sure you’re alright?” Y/n asked again.
“Yes I’m okay now thanks to you”
“Wanna talk somewhere that’s not in front of a toilet?” Y/n asked, making the blonde laugh at her question.
“Yes please”
Y/n held her hand again and led her to the VIP seating upstairs where she could still see what’s going on below but she also didn’t have to scream over the music to talk. They sat on the comfy couch and the way Y/n was sitting with her arm over the backrest wasn’t doing Karina’s heart any good.
“I know my name was introduced on stage but I’ll say it again. I’m Lee Y/n” The taller introduced and put her hand out for a handshake.
Karina happily took it. “I’m Yu Jimin or you can call me Karina. May I ask how old you are?
“I’m 26, and you?”
“23”
“Did you like the performance?” Y/n asked.
“I did! The original songs were probably my favourite. Did you write them?”
“Only a few. Want some?” The taller offered as she grabbed an unopened bottle of vodka from underneath the table.
“Sure”
One shot turned into god knows how much more and Karina didn’t realised she was drunk as she was too hypnotised with the way Y/n did anything.
“Do you have a girlfriend, Y/n?” Karina slurred.
Y/n chuckled and brushed her hair back. “I don’t. My band and I practice and move around a lot for performances so I haven’t really gotten any action. How about you Miss Karina? Anyone sweep you off your feet?”
“No. I isolate myself in the dorm too much to even try and go on a date, and like you, it’s not easy getting free time as an idol”
“Yeah. I love your songs and stuff though”
“Oh you listen to Aespa?”
“I don’t live under a rock, Karina” Y/n laughed and Karina wanted to hear it again and again.
“Are you interested in anyone right now, Y/n?” Karina decided to boldly ask, the alcohol buzzing through her body as she scooted closer to the guitarist’s body where her arm was still attractively placed on the backrest.
Y/n’s eyes moved to focus on Karina’s soft lips, her body heating up at the close proximity. “Hmmm…Just one” The black haired girl replied with a toothy grin.
“Yeah? And who would that be?” Karina inched her lips closer to the point it was just above Y/n’s.
“Karina, you’re drunk” Y/n whispered, trying her best not to take the idol right there.
“I know, bust don’t you wanna kiss me? I couldn’t take my eyes off you the moment you went on that stage looking so fucking hot” Karina licked her lips and gently cupped Y/n’s face, brushing her thumb over the taller’s lower lip. “And I’m not leaving until I get a taste”
“Fuck” Y/n groaned and allowed Karina to finally connect their lips, moaning at the softness.
The guitarist grabbed onto the smaller’s hips and moved her to her lap without breaking the kiss. Karina’s hands roamed from Y/n’s strong shoulders down to her tattooed arms, her hips slowly grinding on her lap, eliciting another groan from the older.
“You’re driving me crazy, Karina” Y/n panted and moved her lips to Karina’s jaw, her soft kisses turning into sucking.
Karina moaned without stopping her hips and she started to feel something poke underneath. “Y-Y/n…Y/n what’s that?”
The older pulled away, admiring the purple spot she made on her neck. “Sorry I should’ve told you about it earlier. We can stop if you want”
Karina shook her head. “No I don’t wanna stop, please don’t stop”
“Alright, angel”
The blonde remembered how disgusting it sounded coming from Kyle but to hear it from Y/n just sounded so much better…and so damn right.
“Is it a strap? Or…”
“Why don’t you find out?” Y/n smirked up before smashing their lips again.
Karina felt dizzy. Dizzy but super horny and all that mattered to her was that she managed to pull her eye candy of the night. Her hand slowly moved lower to rub at Y/n’s crotch, the bulge getting impossibly harder.
“You’re so perfect, angel”
All of a sudden, Karina’s phone started ringing. She chose to ignore it at first, continuing her kisses on Y/n’s neck but the ringing would not stop. She groaned, pressing her forehead to Y/n’s shoulder before grabbing the cockblocking device on the table.
“What?!” She yelled over the phone.
“Girl where the hell are you?! We’re all worried!” Giselle yelled back.
“Sorry I got…sidetracked” Karina smiled at the smirking woman below her.
“Well we’re leaving now so you better get your ass here!” Giselle then hung up.
Karina sighed. “I have to go…”
“That’s okay, my members would be worried if I disappeared like that too”
The smaller girl got off the taller’s lap and got her purse along with her phone. “Um are you gonna be okay with…that?” Karina shyly pointed at Y/n’s hard on.
“Yeah I can deal with it later. I’d love to escort you down but I don’t want you friends seeing me like this” The guitarist chuckled.
Karina stepped closer and gently stroked the bulge like earlier before planting one more intoxicating kiss to the older’s lips. “I’ve put my number in your pocket. Text me when you’re free”
“Yes ma’am”
The Aespa leader winked and made her way downstairs where the rest of the girls were, ignoring the way they all were screaming about their worries for the blonde’s sudden disappearance.
Karina was now frustrated.
Frustrated because she was getting lectured but also frustrated because she didn’t get that good dick tonight.
A/N: Part two coming soon!

I feel like this is so foul but I have to share it because I remembered you do the actor/actress stuff. ( @gemini-sensei )
Tumblr media
Imagine Tanner and Chubby!Reader being in a relationship and Reader is a background character in the show. So she is always on set half of the time while they are filming. Even if she's not on for a scene she still shows up to support everyone, especially Tanner of course.
Mary doesn't want to admit it but she is a little jealous.
Reader and Tanner started dating when Reader became a featured background character (say around S2-S3) and ever since have been always hanging out together. Mary is kinda sad because this has started to mess with her and Tanner's friendship, mostly because they don't hang out as much because he is always going out on dates with Reader after filming.
At first she thinks her feelings are of just pure jealousy. Feeling bad about the unspoken words she tries to stuff all of them down. On one hand, it might be from the fact that Tanner is one of her best friends, but on the other, it feels different. She doesn't understand why these feelings are coming up so fast. It makes her heart hurt every time she sees them together. Getting stuck in the same trailer for their stage makeup is horrible. She catches herself looking over at Reader who is always just chatting and laughing away at something her makeup artist is saying.
It gets so hard to be around her or to even look Tanners way.
Her head hurts when the day comes when she has to go to Tanner’s trailer.
One day after a long day of filming on set Mary notices that Tanner forgot one of his back up shirts. They had been filming a scene where he was shirtless. He must have accidentally left the clean shirt on set before heading back to his own trailer after wrap. Taking the shirt she strolls over to his trailer. Hoping that he was there already and not over at Reader’s.
Knocking lightly on the door to the trailer yelds nothing. No one answers after a good minute or so. Turing the handle she finds it unlocked. She thinks for a moment before entering but decides to just pop inside very quickly and leave the shirt for the guy to find later when he comes back. Maybe he wouldn't even question the shirt magically appearing back in his room. Slowly she turned the door handle and walked inside.
She hoped to find it empty after not getting a reply back.
She was dead wrong.
As she stud in the middle of the trailer she found something she never experienced to walk in on.
At the other end of the trailer on a small couch were Tanner and Reader having sex.
Tanner has Reader split open on his cock while she rides him reverse cow girl style. He has her pushing back against he’s chest while she goes all out. Riding him like there is no tomorrow with the way her eyes cross and her tongue hangs out. She’s moaning up a storm as her ass slaps against his pelvis. Thighs making a wet snaking sound that fills the air. One of his hands grip at her fat tits, squeezing so bad that her soft flesh spills over his whole hand. The other hand works at her clit while his arm wraps around her pudgy waist. Fingers drawing long fast circles along the puffy skin of her pussy.
It’s a good minute or two before they realize that poor Mary is just standing in the middle of the trailer. Watching them in pure shock. In a last second attempt she covers her mouth as she realizes she been caught staring at them.

this is an incredibly niche thing that will appeal to maybe like one other jrwi fan, but:
what crew i think various riptide characters would be on if they were tech theatre kids
because why not :]
Jay: - oh Set Crew for SURE dude - shes the head carpenter - she knows how to use every tool in the shop - she's the one helping the newbies learn said tools - she'll yell at you to be safe but also do the worlds most unsafe things - she probably gets thrown on fly rail alot and is bitter about it because she'd rather move stuff on stage
Chip: - Set - Now he might not be great at it - but he would just really enjoy using the power tools - (and Jay would be on his ass about it constantly because he is Not safe like at ALL) - he probably gets put on like the super heavy set piece for a scene change and will do nothing but complain about it
Gillion: - ok this one was hard - i dont think hes set crew - but i do think hes usually been crowned the official Heavy Set Piece Mover - just because hes the theatres resident Strong Man - honestly i think he's scared of most of the power tools tbh jhkfsdjhk - he's probably just general stage crew, aka just the jack of all trades guy that any of the crews can use if they need an extra hand - (however he never helps any of the crews that require like a steady hand, like makeup, costume, or props, just bc of how big and clunky he is hjkfsdjkh)
Queen: - probably props or makeup/costume - theyre utterly terrified of ANY power tools and will avoid the shop like the PLAGUE - she probably really enjoy just sitting and working on small details for props while they blare music - (she is also the person in the theatre with the BEST music tastes, literally the best rehearsal playlist) - you look away from queen for maybe an hour and he will come back with the most intricate and beautifully designed prop - and it ends up having maybe 5 seconds of screen time and will have to get deconstructed once shows over
Gryffon: - okay so he's the guy that everyone thought would be the resident strong man when he joined the theatre. - and while technically he is, this poor man finds a way to break fucking anything - working on a set piece? it will crumble when he walks in the room. - working on lighting? they lamps will explode - he's the murphys law man. if anything could go wrong, it Will if he's in the room - its gotten to the point where every show the theatre does a ritual to the Theatre Gods in hopes that gryffon's powers of Pure Destruction may be nullified long enough for them to actually get shit done - he probably just gets put on fly rail because thats the only thing he hasn't managed to break
Alphonze: - Lighting / Sound for SURE - i would trust this man to operate the board - he's literally a god at programming cues, hes always on time - he cuts the mic out the SECOND the actor leaves the stage, he gets mic problems fixed INSTANTLY - if somethings wrong with a light, he IMMEDITAELY knows how to fix it - he is essentially the Antichrist to gryffon's destructive power - its the Theatre Superstition that if Alphonze and Gryffon are in the same room for too long it'll cause a singularity
Lizzie: - Set or maybe even Stage Manager - she's probably stage manager, but like only hangs out with techies - because being in the room with the cast and their songs for too long makes her just actually wanna die - shes super chill, but then tech week hits and she means BUISNESS - her ass gets things DONE - they could be in any stage of the creative process, and lizzie will find a way to speedrun it in the best and most efficient way possible
Caspian: - Makeup / Costume - like i imagine him helping people do their makeup in the dressing rooms before show - he would also be that one poor head costume manager helping the main character with the worlds most stressful quick change - or the poor mf who has to speed safety pin someones clothes together because it ripped mid performance
Marshal John: - literally THE set guy, aside from Jay - you need something heavy moved quickly? get john - power tools broken? get john - literally any problem that could easily be solved by a Big Strong Man? john. - he, like gillion, is the other Resident Strong Guy - however all prop people know to never get NEAR him, because this poor man has a way of literally just breathing on a prop and causing it to shatter - he's just big and clunky and can't handle delicate things
Drey and Finn: - the resident Uncles of the theatre - they don't work there - but theyre there to support their Kids TM - drey probably donates random pieces of furniture to the set department - and finn makes BANGER meals for the crew when it gets closer to performance - and they work like 12+ hours without eating - finn will MAKE SURE these poor kids get their nutriants
Earl: - in the same vein, he's also just one of the resident Uncles - once before a performance earl didn't make them juice - and literally Everything went wrong - so now everyone is convinced that Earl's juice is Magical and Blessed - and if the theatre doesn't get blessed by his juice, everyone fears for their life - Earl uses this to his advantage, and will actively threaten people to drink his juice by saying like "if you don't drink this i'll make sure that chandelier breaks right before the finale!!" - and the poor set crew kids just start SWEATING

Hey, there! How are you?
I was hoping I could request a Moondrop x reader x Sundrop short fic?
A fic about a costume competition on the main stage of the Pizzaplex with all of the animatronics and then separately a staff costume competition.
Reader would be the daycare attendant and come in either first or second place for the competition.
After the competition, reader goes back to the daycare for a Halloween-themed sleepover! With Halloween movies and themed snacks and stuff! I think it’d be cute ☺️💕
Hi! I've been good, thank you! Finally getting the spooky halloween fics rolling
..........
"So you're a STAFF Security Bot? The makeup looks great on you!"
"Really? Thanks. I guess it'd be dumb to ask who you are, huh?" Vanessa looked at your costume up and down with a raised eyebrow. "You look like you're gonna work for the damn travelling circus."
"Well...that's kinda the point." With a smile, you smoothed out the wrinkles in your striped pants, ensuring that your ruffled two-toned collar was neat. The bells on your wrists jingled noisily, but you quickly silenced them.
"Now I don't feel so embarrassed.." The blonde mumbled to herself, her gaze going back to you. "Don't you think you kinda...overdid this? I mean none of us are getting a bonus for putting more effort into our costumes-"
"There's no such thing as "overdoing" Halloween, Ness." You huffed. "I don't care about any bonuses or prizes. We're here to bring some holiday spirit to the Pizzaplex! I think it's good that the manager asked us to participate. They know how to have fun unlike the last one."
"...jeez, you're sounding more like Sun everyday." That was her only remark before she went back to staring at her phone, clearly wanting to get this over with.
Meanwhile, you were bouncing on your heels, being next in-line to show off your costume to the eager audience waiting outside.
For the first time ever, the Mega Pizzaplex finally scraped together the perfect Halloween event to really kick off the season: a costume competition!
It took place on the main stage in the atrium, which was decorated from floor to ceiling. A small fortune was spent on getting holograms to feature the Glamrocks in spooky costumes, but the employees were the main stars of the show.
Since you and the others knew about this months in advance, you had plenty of time to work on your outfit and makeup. You truly wanted to knock this out of the park by dressing up as your all-time favorite character:
The Daycare Attendant!
At first you had a difficult time deciding which one would be your muse. You'd hate to disappoint either of them, so you ended up designing something that contained aspects of both animatronics!
It took a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and glitter glue..but you finally finished it and now you were here, ready to show it off to the world!
There was an entirely separate competition for the animatronics themselves, who just finished an hour ago. They just brainstormed ideas and their handlers got to work creating their costumes.
The rules were all the same, nevertheless, and the winners were determined by whoever was cheered for the most.
Freddy, who was dressed up as Frankenstein's Monster, ended up winning first place (which you saw coming from a mile away)....while poor Roxy, who actually dressed up as Freddy, got second place. She was a sore loser about it and complained that the entire contest was "rigged".
Despite that, all of the animatronics seemed to have lots of fun.
Now it was the humans' turn to shine. You were 100% ready to give it your all, glad to see your coworkers were getting into the Halloween spirit, too....although Vanessa was less-than-thrilled to learn that participation was mandatory.
Regardless, you were happy with the way your costume turned out.
After telling the announcer your name and character, you waited for your queue to run on stage.
The anticipation was killing you!
"And up next we have [y/n], one of our longtime staff members, decked out as our one and only Daycare Attendant!"
With a big smile spreading from ear-to-ear, you headed out and were met with cheering kids and impressed parents. You did a little twirl so they could see all the parts of your costume, making sure the bells jingled loud enough for them to hear.
Among the crowd, you could see the animatronics hanging in the back, being allowed to spectate this contest. Sun himself was there, dressed up as a knight in shiny armor. But he was ecstatic upon seeing that you dressed like him and Moon.
"[Y/N]!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING STARSHINE!!!" He shouted, jumping up and down as he cheered the loudest.
You spotted him and waved back, your smile growing even more when you realized he loved it (even though he could only admire the details from afar for now).
It did take Freddy's and Chica's hands combined to ensure he didn't try to hop the fence and run over to you.
After your mini-performance was done, you headed off the stage before turning to observe Vanessa, who acted like a stiff and bored Security STAFF bot. She just muttered some of their preprogrammed lines before making a swift exit.
The applause for her was..lackluster, but she seemed relieved to finally be done with it.
You, on the other hand, were still relishing in all the attention.
Soon you'll get to see who won! You weren't counting on yourself winning the grand prize since your other coworkers put a good deal of effort into their costumes, too.
But in the end, getting first or second place wasn't your biggest concern.
Having fun is what mattered most.
............
"You're awful smug about that trophy. Didn't know you were the competitive type, officer."
"Well..I think for tonight, I can afford to be a little proud of myself." You smirked knowingly at Moon, holding up the golden trophy in your hands.
It wasn't made from real gold, of course. It's all just cheap useless plastic that was painted gold.
But you did, however, adore its design very much: Freddy's head shaped like a pumpkin with a #1 beside it, and your name written on the plaque just below it.
This wasn't any bonus check, gift card, or coupon...but it absolutely made you feel good about winning first place in the costume competition.
You made sure to thank Sun for his help before Moon took over the daycare's night cycle--aka his half of the "Halloween Sleepover", another smaller event the Pizzaplex allowed to keep the little ones occupied.
Fortunately, you got to supervise it to ensure everything ran smoothly. You were even allowed to stay in costume, and that got kids complimenting you left and right (albeit some of the tots mistook you for the Attendant himself, but you didn't mind it).
Of course, nobody was prouder than both Sun and Moon.
"I appreciate you considering me in this design. Very well done, indeed." The lunar animatronic flicked the bell at the end of your blue jester hat, grinning as it jingled. "You have quite the talent...unlike Officer Vanessa."
"I'd go easy on her, Moon. She's just not a big Halloween fan." You chuckled, putting the trophy on the security desk, before you leaned back in the chair and looked over the clipboard. "Anyways, we have just a few more activities scheduled...including one more Halloween movie. Then you'll be giving the kids lessons on how to trick-or-treat safely, and-"
"That's what I need help with!" Moon suddenly jumped onto the desk, perching there as he stared down at you. "I can't keep showing them SpongeBob forever."
"..what's wrong with SpongeBob?" Blinking, your gaze went to the small group of children, who were all in their own costumes, watching the "Scaredy Pants" episode through a projection on the wall.
They were all tucked into sleeping bags, candy wrappers scattered in their laps, and unfinished art crafts on the tables behind them. Moon was a tad bit fidgety over the messes they left, but you kept reassuring him everything will be cleaned up soon.
"Nothing, but...grr...listen." He grumbled, growing annoyed. "I know there's two movies in the drawer to your right, and we only have time for one. Look at them and pick for me."
Nodding, you opened the drawer and found the DVDs he was talking about.
But you were quite surprised.
"The Nightmare Before Christmas and..Corpse Bride?" You stared at the covers, before looking up at Moon. "Management...actually approved these?"
"It would seem so, if they're here."
"...I don't know. The kids might be a bit too young for either of these movies, Moon." You frowned a little. "They might give them nightmares-"
"If they can handle seeing SpongeBob's exposed brain, the creatures of Rock Bottom, and the Hash Slinging Slasher...then surely they can handle seeing Jack Skellington or Emily."
"But the animation is totally different and---" You began protesting, although you stopped as you saw how Moon was just...staring at you blankly. He was practically begging you to make a decision lest he strangled you.
"..I'll take care of the movie and let the kids decide which one they wanna watch. You can go clean the tables and work on your safety lesson plan. Okay?"
His grin returned immediately.
"Wise choice, "Daycare Attendant"." He snickered, flicking the bell on your hat once more before he slinked away to cleanup duty.
Sighing, you got up and stretched, before heading over to the children so they could cast their votes on which movie they wanted to see.
After they made their choice, you went back to helping Moon, although at some point you two ended up watching the movie as well.
The night was still young, but so far it's been fantastic and full of Halloween fun!
What better way to spend it than with your favorite animatronics and dressing up as them?

"Aw, you're blushing like a rose." With yaku
i hc yaku as someone who gets flustered easily (reader teases him so he blushes)
[ I wish there was more content abt him :’) ]
ROSY CHEEKS | yaku morisuke
prompt: "aw, you're blushing like a rose."
content: (🦷) tooth-rotting fluff, you guys are in a play (beauty ajd the beast) here for nekoma's school festival, you're the princess, but yaku is just a background character, you practice your lines on him, and he's blushing hard, reader also has short hair here, kuroo and yamamoto make a short appearance.
⚠ warning/s: none.
note: yk i once had a yaku phase, and you're right. it's criminal as to how little content he has. yaku was a challenge to write as well, SOOO I HOPE THAT THIS WAS A GOOD PIECE!!! ENJOY READING ANON!!! :D
Tumblr media
"what.." you muttered in disbelief at the casting for your school's play, "the beauty and the beast."
you got the female lead, belle.
"how is this even possible?!" you mentally screeched. at most, you expected to be a simple background character! like, y'know, one of the girls that fawn over gaston? even tree number four would've been alright!
"ah.. i really can't anymore." you grumble, massaging your temples with close eyes. "what are you talking about, y/n?" yaku morisuke, your kind and caring upperclassmen, asked.
"o- oh, yaku!" you stutter, not expecting to be checked up on. "i got the female lead when i was aiming for an insignificant character." you explained, followed by an irritated sigh. "..how am i supposed to balance my studies now?"
yaku gives you a reassuring pat on the head, despite you being around the same height or so. "i'm sure everything will work out alright! if ever you're having trouble, just come to me, and i'll help."
your eyes sparkled tearily, hands clasped in complete and utter gratitude at the boy's offer. "thank you, yaku!"
yaku's heart skipped a beat at your adorable expression. he flashed you a charming smile. "don't mention it!"
time skip.
this is the first rehearsal nekoma will have in costumes. it's just so that the costume crew can know whether or not there's an issue while wearing said costumes on stage.
you were all pampered up in belle's famous yellow dress. your hair was styled (still, by special request, kept short), there was a light touch of makeup on your face, and the dress itself was unexpectedly comfortable to wear. now you don't want to say this out loud, but you actually looked.. quite ethereal right now.
"the costume and makeup crew really outdid themselves.." you twirled in front of the mirror.
once you exited the dressing room, all of your schoolmates' eyes were on you.
"uwaaah! y/n looks so pretty!"
"that's y/n?!"
"y/n, please be our manager—!"
yamamoto was harshly pulled away by the ear (thanks to kuroo) before he could completely recruit you.
you were feeling uneasy from the amount of attention on you, so you shuffled over to yaku, who looked at you in complete adoration. "yaku, help, they're all staring at me." you mumbled just loud enough for the libero to hear.
yaku sighed before stating a firm, "you're all scaring her, y'know!" everyone then went off to mind their own business.
"thank you." you said. yaku shook his head. "like i said, just come to me for help."
"oh! by the way," you brought two scripts into view, "i've been busy clearing out all of my homework, so i only got to memorize a few lines. do you mind helping?"
"no, not at all." yaku smiled at you, accepting your request.
oh, poor yaku. if only he knew how red his face would get at your words, would he have turned you down sooner.
time skip.
"it's true that he's no prince charming, but there's something in him that i simply didn't see.." you read from the sheet of paper, all the while acting out a face of endearment. yaku had to pause for a moment, just to admire you.
"..yaku?" you called out, bringing the boy out of his thoughts. "right—! sorry." he bashfully apologized.
"y'know yaku, your face is really red right now." you giggled. "wait, really?" he asked, confused. sure, he was feeling warm, but he thought it was just the temperature!
you nod at his confusion, caressing one of his rosy cheeks. "aw, you're blushing like a rose."
that got yaku even more flustered!

LU College Theater AU Headcannons
(In celebration of me surviving tech/opening week of my show)
They all just so happen to live in the same apartment complex. (besides Twilight who lives with Time and Malon) This means countless sleepovers and people waking up to others sleeping on their floor on a random Wednesday.
Legend has been typecast as the villain multiple times and loves it. (let's be honest, the villain is usually the best character)
Vio gets put on makeup and hair duty constantly. The actors have started calling him "unofficial official stage mom"
Wolfie has been snuck into the college on multiple occasions. The boys call him their mascot. Time calls him a distraction. (Time loves that dog more than anyone (besides Wild and Twilight))
Even though there is a 50/50 chance he will freak out, Wild loves running the pyrotechnics. (on a good day at least)
The boys only catch about 85% of what Twilight says because of his accent. No one knows why it's so thick when Malon and Times aren't.
Warriors are super good at stage combat. He took some extra classes and now helps Time teach the others for their certifications.
Sky has horrible audition anxiety. His hands shake so badly he can't read the script in front of him and his throat closes up. Luckily, since he is mostly auditioning for Malon's shows, she already knows his talents and Sky is a lot more comfortable around her.
Wind has a tradition of wearing a different button-up shirt at every performance. The boys will make bets in the group chat before they get to the theater and whoever guesses which shirt he is wearing gets to pick where they eat afterward.
Spirit has done one singular show ever in his life. It was just because Wind was out sick and begged him to do it since the part was small. Spirit might have also owed Wind a favor.
The prop loft is haunted and all the boys have seen weird things in the theater.
They don't pick their nicknames. Time will give it to them after they do something dumb enough to be permanently remembered as a name. (I'll probably write out everyone's naming later)
Everyone was convinced that Hyrule lived in the theater for a few months…they were correct.
The others found out Four was actually quadruplets on Halloween. It was terrifying.

Tumblr media
⊹ LA SIGNORA
Tumblr media
actress!signora, dressing assistant!reader
i’m using her real name for this 👍 “signora” will be her stage name or smth like that
Tap. Tap.
She tapped the tip of the makeup brush against the top of her compass with practiced ease, a puff of pink powder dispersing into the air of the dressing room. Then she moved the brush up to her cheek, where she caked her skin with a considerable amount of blush.
How cute, was all you could think. For her to even attempt to do her makeup in these circumstances—it wasn’t like you were blind to the way her hands were slightly trembling.
“Do… Do you really have to do this now…?” Rosalyne asked you—so quiet, almost as if she was trying to minimize the chances of getting caught. But you couldn’t blame her; she had a reputation of fame as an actress to keep up.
After all, what would the people out there think if they were to see her now, sitting here on the dressing room chair with her assistant’s head between her legs? Her thighs spread so sinfully, and the erotic sounds of your tongue licking through her folds—it was the last thing she needed right before a performance.
God, you were so slow. Slow, yet so skillfully good at the same time. Your tongue prodded at her down there, and though she absolutely refused to look down, she could tell you were smiling.
One slow, long lick up—she tried her hardest just to not shiver from that alone. Thank heavens she was an actress; she feared she couldn’t control her body otherwise.
You parted for just a moment, mumbling against her clit, “Just prepping you for a good show tonight.” You placed a wet kiss on her folds and she almost messed up her eyeliner, panting a bit. “Makin’ you feel like the main attraction both onstage and off.”
She silently gasped for air, “You do this every time.” Rosalyne gritted the words through her teeth in an attempt to sound annoyed with you, but you weren’t deaf to the whine in her throat.
“And you’re even better onstage each time.”
KNOCK! KNOCK!
She almost jumped out of her seat in shock, had you not secured her thighs down.
“Two minutes till places! Don’t be late again, ‘Signora’!”
Screw it.
The crimson red lipstick container fell right out of her hand and clattered loudly atop the dressing room table.
Her hand dived straight down to grip the hair on your head, pushing you desperately closer to her and forcing you to go faster. Your tongue dived into her heat without warning, and she threw her head back as she finally released a loud groan in pleasure. You were unrelenting, completely ravishing her in stark contrast to your teasingly slow pace from just seconds ago.
“Faster…” she mumbled in ecstasy, panting between little whines.
Your tongue constantly swirled and plunged deep inside her—you knew just how to drive her mad, though she would never admit that to you. But the way she came hard every night just made it so obvious, and you couldn’t help but take pride in it.
It was a little pre-performance ritual you indulged in before every show. It was necessary—you, at least, deemed it so. After all, she always seemed to glow even brighter onstage after every orgasm.
“Close,” she breathily whined. “Please… I’m… ‘m gonna—”
Her hand flew straight up to cover her mouth as she gasped from her sputtering orgasm.
You lapped up her juices greedily on your tongue, gripping her trembling thighs in such a tight way you knew might show under the stage lights. Rosalyne desperately tried to calm her breaths from her generous release, and before you knew it, you were pushed aside as she immediately hurried to apply the finishing crimson lipstick to her face.
She didn’t even spare you a glance once she stood up from the seat in which she was tongue-fucked in merely seconds ago. However, your eyes didn’t miss the way she stumbled in her steps for just a second before she slammed the door shut.
Aw, you didn’t even get to wish her good luck.
But it was no troubling matter. Licking your lips, you stood up from your place on the floor, making your way backstage so you could watch her perform from the side wings.
Oh, you couldn’t wait for intermission.

⊹ NINGGUANG

“N… Ning, it’s not long until showtime…”
“Shhh…”
The proximity of her face allowed her breath to hit right against your ear, causing you to gasp out in breathless delight. Her body was flushed right against yours, trapping you right where she wanted.
You were sitting so indecently atop the long dressing room table, back pressed tight on the cold surface of the room’s wide mirror. It made you shiver in excitement, completely contrasting the warmth of your director’s body in front of you.
And, it was only more thrilling with the feel of her fingers messily plunging in and out of your soaking cunt. With your bare ass on the table, and her two fingers causing your juices to spill on it.
You panted, “Oi, I still… I still need to finish dressing, y’know.”
“Oh?” she voiced, and she never once slowed down the pace of her fingers. “I’m sure the men in the audience wouldn’t mind if you performed clothed or undressed.”
You almost sneered, had she not greedily captured your lips in a dirty kiss. With the hungry way she was moving her mouth against yours, you were certain the lipstick you perfectly lined was now completely smeared thanks to her.
A heavy round of knocks suddenly banged against the door, causing her to (rather annoyingly) part her lips from yours.
“Two minutes till places!” came Keqing’s call through the door.
“Got it!” you responded as innocently and as steadily as you could, for Ningguang was so cruel with the way she continued to finger you.
“By the way, Miss,” Keqing continued. “Do you happen to know where our director is?”
Right here in front of me, you internally groaned, fucking the daylights out of me instead of doing her job.
“Ah, Director Ningguang?” you attempted to speak normally. “Well she’s actually right—”
Ningguang slammed her body even closer against yours, muttering threateningly through gritted teeth, “You better not say another word.” Her fingers curled into your cunt as she said this, and you tried so hard just to suppress your cry. “Do me a favor. Tell her I’m not here, won’t you?”
You scowled at her, “How scandalous…”
Her fingers pressed impossibly harder into you, as if akin to an actual threat. You had to bite your tongue, before you were forced to answer in her favor.
“The director isn’t here!” you called out to Keqing at the door, trying your hardest to maintain a steady voice. Ningguang increased the pace of her fingers, beginning to harshly slam them into you, and you could only hope Keqing couldn’t hear the sounds of wet slaps through the door. “Sorry—ngh… about that, Keqing.”
“It’s alright,” she audibly sighed outside the door before beginning to walk away. “Break a leg tonight, Miss.”
“Thank you!”
In an instant, Ningguang’s thumb stuck out to rub and hit at your clit for more stimulation as she finger-fucked you, causing you to practically cry out in pleasure. And yet you opened your eyes despite the intensity, speaking through your moans in almost pathetically breathless taunts.
“How bad of you…” you panted with a challenging smirk. You could barely even slur sentences together without whining in between words. Her fingers curled, they scissored, they plunged so deep—your lower body was practically burning at how good she was. “Imagine, mm… If I ratted you out… Director Ningguang gaining notoriety for fucking her star actress backstage.”
“Well that’ll surely get my name on the papers, don’t you think so?” she hummed, clearly amused at your willingness to be this bratty despite being in such a dirty position. You were truly such a wild, young star she had yet to tame. “There’s no such thing as bad attention, especially not in this industry.”
“Of course you’d say something like that,” you breathed out with a small laugh.
Her fingers were so unforgiving, and the setting only made it more arousing. To think you’d be performing in front of an audience after this—after the director of the whole show absolutely destroys your core before you go onstage. And she’d get to watch you, knowing she did such things.
“You’re doing so well tonight,” she licked her lips in satisfaction. “I knew you’d be the perfect fit for this role”
“‘m gonna cum soon,” you whispered quietly, almost as if you didn’t want to admit some sort of defeat. “Finish me quick.”
All she did was give you that haunting smile of hers, before she wildly rutted her hand into your heat, allowing you to hold on to her shoulders as you finally orgasmed onto her hand.
She almost laughed at your dumb little expression after you came down from your high, before fixing your lipstick with her thumb. How incompetent of you, she thought, that you weren’t able to recover from her treatment as quickly as she liked.
“Run along now,” she ushered you off the table, “I don’t allow setbacks in my shows.”
How hypocritical.

⊹ YAE MIKO

actress!miko, dressing assistant!reader
“Two minutes till places!”
The booming knock on the dressing room door startled you half to death, and Miko only laughed at your misery.
Two minutes until she had to be set onstage. Two minutes, and yet she was still wildly grinding her heat against yours like some rabid animal.
You were constantly pushed down against the little couch in Miko’s dressing room, with the actress never merciful in her movements. She scissored you, grinding the both of your cores together, but clearly chasing her own orgasm instead of yours.
“Mm,” she lightly moaned when your hips twitched upwards just a little. “You always feel so good on me.” Gods, her voice was so erotic—her words naturally slurred together in a way that made you feel lightheaded, though you supposed that’s what made her such a good actress.
She continued, “And you always take me so well.” That smile of hers was practically predatory.
“M… Miko!” you gasped. “Did you not hear? You—ngh… you have to be onstage soon.”
“They can wait,” she darkly laughed. “A show can’t go on without its star actress, after all.”
“But—”
“Do my hips need some translating?” she spoke down at you. “I’m not going anywhere until I’m finished.”
You could only wonder how this woman was not a moaning mess right now—because you sure as hell where. Miko only let out small hums and groans every so often, but she seemed to practically drink in the sight of you, all writhing and messy underneath her.
Her hips rolled against yours with no means of stopping, though you’d be lying if you said you really wanted her to. Just the thought of her willing to be late just to chase her orgasm with you was an addicting notion.
“A-Are you even mic’d up?” you asked her.
“Hm? You mean this little thing?” she voiced, turning her face.
Struggling as you opened your hazy eyes, you looked to where she was pointing, only to see a small microphone looped over her ear and taped to her cheek. It was the mic every actor had on them, controlled by the tech managers.
“It’s on, you know,” she giggled.
Your eyes widened in panic, and she did her best to bend down in your position, still relentlessly grinding against your clit.
“Do you think the volume is up for the audience?” she mumbled, clearly expecting a vocal answer out of you. “Do you think they can hear you? Your pretty little moans and the way I’m fucking you right now? Do you think they can hear all that?”
The thought scared you yet aroused you at the same time. Oh, to have the world know you were sleeping with the star actress Yae Miko behind the scenes. To let them find out how she loved the way her dripping heat felt against your own. To let them know that she was fucking you right now, even running late to an audience that expect me her.
You moaned out loudly at the thought of it, and at the feeling of Miko grinding harder on top of you. Her grin was practically wicked as your whines were drawn out, seeking your arousal at the thought of everyone hearing the sin of a show you were creating backstage.
She was the one that was supposed to get pleasure, and yet you were here, fucked out of your mind after already cumming once while she was still chasing her first orgasm. And once she finally came, she quickly wiped herself up, not bothering to bid you farewell even after such an exchange.
You were left breathing heavily on the couch, absolutely bewildered as to how she could get up and perform so quickly.

It really annoys me that Viv doesn't allow her abuser characters to be at least a little less obvious. This would not only make the story more realistic, but also make it more logical.
Take the example of the fourth episode with Valentino. Okay, let's assume that we believe that Charlie, who has been in Hell for centuries, has no idea what high-status overlords are and does not know what kind of person Valentino is, let's discuss another thing: why Valentino is so openly flirting with the daughter of the lord of Hell, who is two heads above him in status and flirt with her to the point that he licks her hand (and she almost doesn't react to it in any way)? If they wanted to demonstrate how lustful Val is, they could have done it more elegantly, for example, Val takes Charlie's hand in his, kisses it, and then licks his lips, saying in a WHISPER that this is a lovely specimen, what Charlie cannot hear and wants to ask again, but Val interrupts her and still holding her hand points to the main stage asking if she wants to perform.
Next, the scene of Angel's beating. Why would Val try to be polite and take spider into another room if he then roughly grabs his arm and throws him on the bed in front of Charlie? What was the point of hiding if you then show all the cards? And why does Charlie just leave after Angel's words? Doesn't she see how he treats Angel and sees that he has a huge black eye that didn't exist before he went to the dressing room with his boss? Let's leave the question of why Angel can't enlist Charlie's support, which should clearly be more powerful than his boss, and put it all down to the fact that he's just afraid, but why does Charlie do nothing if he sees the consequences? Again, how could this scene be made better: Val, after talking and beating Angel, orders him to hide the black eye with makeup, Angel obeys while Val leaves the dressing room and goes to talk to Charlie, again trying to play the gentleman he says that despite the fact that he himself is very flattered by her presence in his studio, this accident during filming led him to the conclusion that Charlie would distract Angel from work and, according to him, Angel holds the same opinion. Charlie initially refuses to leave, but Angel comes out of the dressing room, already with makeup on her face, which hides the bruise and in the same aggressive manner that is shown in the series tells Charlie to leave, and she runs away in tears. It would show that Valentino could use Angelch not only as a commodity, but also as a human shield against the royal family, in this case against Charlie, and it would make him a more realistic and creepy abuser.
When you've got a fanbase consisting of this many kids and young adults either in college or headed off there, there's a lot of things you don't want to be telling them about life and relationships and sex and consent that Viv tells them.
"If they're an abuser, it will be glaringly obvious" is one of them.
