My Top 5 BL Kisses of Jan (& Feb) 24 + why
Okay, okayyyyy I'm doing this, no backing out. I offically accept that analyzing kisses takes up so much of my brainspace that I can write about it — so here it goes. I'M NOT HIDING ANYMORE BUT OWNING UP TO IT! (lol, chill)
Last year I complained that I didn't get a single perfect kiss since I started watching BL TV shows (until PhayaTharn turned up) and now we're not even a quarter into the new year and I already got FIVE I'm absolutely in AWE about!! FIVE!!
I don't know if it's the actors, directors or coaches who upped their game (probably all of them) but hot damn, all of these are beautiful.
And don't ask me why I'm into kiss-acting so much I have no fucking clue, my first guess is that it's an artform in itself to make this amazing, wonderful, intimate form of touching look as beautiful as it feels — bc let's be honest here, irl kissing rarely looks pretty no matter how great it is! So I think it's just dope when you can see this beauty translated on screen.
So I guess this is peak romance genre for me and with that being said, enough talking, lets get to the kissykissies!
5. TenPrem - Cooking Crush EP. 11
I have to be honest with you, I was a bit confused by the kissing in this show. The tippytoe kiss was cute as heck but we all saw how Off AND Gun awkwardly blinked because they probably had to stay like that for a looooong time. It took the whole magic out of the whole first-kiss-moment. Same with the forced in, reshot makeout-scenes. But the kiss in the kitchen? Looks like they FINALLY got to show what they got.
Ten gently pulling Prem closer, them smoothly moving against each other, Ten closing in even more, the slightly open-mouthed kiss with their lips perfectly caressing each other, Ten with a bit more force, Prem with a bit more heat resulting in the perfect mix...Loved it, mwah.
4. PromNont - Playboyy EP. 12
They are my one Playboyy-couple where I'm like "if they don't end up married and running Playboyy together, starting the revolution of well-payed, insured and safe sex workers I'm gonna riot" even though I know this show will not end nicely for ANYONE.
Anyways, this kiss. Holy smokes they had so many good scenes but this one took the cake. Not just the sheer length of it (but still with perfect timing and breaks).
The slightest suck on Nonts upper lip, Prem literally making Nont sway, Nonts hidden desperation for Prom surfacing from his lips, them slowly but surely turning up the heat and last but not least, Prom grabbing Nonts face just to lean against him...UGH THEM!
(I made those)
3. Myungha & Yeowoon - Love for Love's Sake EP 8
I know I'm not alone in how this show swept me off my feet and hit me right in the feels. But I've gotta say, this kiss hit completely different. Again they kissed for so long but not a single moment felt wasted. It felt like their whole story put in a single kiss. And — I mean that in the most loving and positive way possible — they kissed so amazingly gay. Do you know what I mean?!
There's just this level of love, care and happiness that only queer couples can convey. Sprinkled with a hint of tongue (I saw that Yeowoon 👀) — they absolutely nailed it.
2. AlanJeff - Pit Babe EP. 11
The kiss that made me consider doing this post in the first place. I saw them and shouted THIS IS PERFECT just to realize that I did this a few weeks ago already and it made me spiral a little. In the best way possible because I felt truly blessed once again to have discovered the genre of BL in their golden era!
Because this right here is how you nail an open mouthed kiss my friends. Take notes BL producers. Put this in your textbooks! They both go at the same rythm (slow, careful but so, so loving JUST LIKE THEIR RELATIONSHIP UGH) and same level of touch so their lips caress each other perfectly. Furthermore, Alan knows exactly how to meet Jeff which is also a PERFECT EXTENSION OF HIS CHARACTER! Alan leads, Jeff follows but they meet perfectly and equally. TEN OUT OF TEN NO NOTES!
1. PhayaTharn - The Sign EP. 9
I don't understand the meaning of the "Roman Empire"-thing but I think if I say they are mine, I am correct because they will be the end of me and that's what that means right? I may be biased AF but objectively speaking, this is just an insanely well acted-out scene, PERIOD! And we all know it's thanks to Billybabes out-of-this-world-chemistry!
Phayas desperation translated into this gorgeous lip-clash, so much yearning but softness at the same time but what really got to me was how Tharn immediately melted after their lips touched, how he immediately opened up to him and got completely overwhelmed by Phayas feelings. Chapeau to Babe for showing so much range in a single second. My favorite kiss of the whole series ❤️
I also just realized all these kisses have one thing in common....hands on faces lol.
Well that was fun peeps, thanks if you made it until the end!

last night, i could not sleep for the life of me, and it gave me a little idea. this is not proofread and my first work in a looooong time lol 🎀
18+
so chan is working on his laptop, right beside you in bed. usually, you’re out like a light and he’ll join you once he’s done working. that was not the case tonight.
you tossed and turned for hours. you tried everything but nothing worked. chan even took a break from work just to see if he could cuddle you to sleep. suddenly, 9pm became 11pm and 11pm became 12:30am. you had enough. a light bulb lit up in your head.
slowly, you inched you fingers towards chans thigh, dragging them up and down, up and down. a shaky breath escaped his plump lips.
“baby… now is not the time. i have work to do and you need to sleep.” his tone was soft, but his eyes were stern.
“oh, come on, channie. maybe you could fuck me to sleep.” your eyes had a mischievous glint to them as your fingers inched closer and closer to his upper thigh.
chan was always so quick to give into to you. his princess. his treasure. his sweet girl. “gotta make this quick, love. alright?” he peppered soft kisses over your now red face and down your neck, taking his time with you. his hand snaked down your body to your panties. god, whenever you wore just a tshirt and panties it drove him mad.
“channnn, less teasing, please…” you whimpered in desperation. he chuckled, his voice going straight to into between your legs. slowly, he pulled your panties down. took his time dragging his fingers gently back up your legs. it was agonizing. finally, he made it to where you needed him most, a gentle moan escaping.
his finger rubbed soft circles on your clit while he slid another one into you. it pumped in and out at a perfect pace, your quiet moans filling the dark room.
“such a needy girl, aren’t you, princess?” you just lazily nodded. another finger slid inside you and your hand flew up to cover your mouth.
“no no, baby. let me hear you.” he moved at a slow pace, giving you a sleepy high. everything felt so blurry in the best way possible.
“gonna let go for me, yeah?” his free hand rubbed soothing circles on your bare thigh, causing you to relax in his hold.
you moaned his name so sweetly as you reached your high. it was like heaven to him. when you were coming down, you felt your eyes get heavy.
“just like that, love. did so good.” he pressed a warm kiss to your forehead and you failed to keep your eyes open. as you dazed off you heard the reassuring words. “i love you.”

Hey Chatte, hope all is well!
One of my favorite my art pieces from Kaika so far is the picture of the Uzumaki clan with an adult Arashi. I’m a sucker for lore especially for shows/comcis/managa that I love. I’m interested in the history of the Uzumaki clan and how it changed from the matriarchy to the patriarchy and how Ashina came to power. I’m also excited on how Naruto and Karin relationship is going to play out and it looks like that will come first before her eventual meeting with Sasuke. I also like how you are giving her and Sakura agency. (Yes we want them to get together with their respective partners) but I’m excited to see how their own personal stories move forward. Finally that art piece that has Naruto and Sakura as sun gods, you think they be a chance with Sasuke and Karin as moon gods? Can’t drop an awesome concept like and be done with it, and we have to their children to as a little pantheon lol.
Heyaa,
Welcome back to my inbox, haha! So good to have you back. :D
Glad to hear you liked the adult Arashi picture. Hope I can expand more on the characters there visually as well.
The thing is I have sooo many ideas in my head. I only wish I had the finances to act upon all these ideas lol.
Anyway, as for the Uzumaki clan, I hope you guys will love the lore I have for the exchange from the matriarchy or Ohirume to Ashina's patriarchy. It'll involve something really juicy, if you ask me, haha.
I just hope you guys will find it as juicy as I do in my head, lol. It's all in my mind, I just need to get to it.
Like I said on my other socials, I'm currently planning on writing Kaika's 13th chapter, after which I plan on taking a break from that because I wanna fully focus on plotting the story in arcs.
I already have the timeline finished from a looooong time ago, I just never got to the point where I actually arrange it into arcs & see how I can display all that history & background I worked on.
As for Karin and Sakura, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed that because honestly, from a writing perspective that has been a top priority of mine - for the girls to have their own agencies outside of the boys, even if I wanna go with those respective pairings.
As for the artpiece, it's already ordered. I wanted to have it as a surprise but you spoiled it for yourself. :P
But yeah, I already ordered it and it will definitely fit with the entire pantheon haha. You'll see more when I publish it.
PS: You now gave me another idea with SK (both the kids and the parents). *writes idea down to commission it at some point*

My 6 month project is completed!! Just in time for summer lol
Here is the link to purchase the full pattern on Etsy; half of the square patterns are free, but I loved all the squares AND having the patterns and video links available in one PDF made it sooooo easy to follow. 10/10 would purchase from this artist again.
Dates/progress pics below the cut if you would like to see that.
January 7; 2/48 squares completed and attached. Figuring out how i wanted to attach them and then how to actually do that took a hot minute, but the videos really helped.
January 12; first row (6/48 squares) completed and attached. Started to get the hang of attaching them, but it was still a struggle and I still needed to watch the video every time.
January 27; second row almost complete, 10/48 squares attached. I got the hang of attaching them on one side, then I had to start attaching them on two sides, and the corners. I think I used the attachment video for each square up until somewhere around the third row.
February 3; 11/48 squares completed and attached.
March 9; 18/48 squares completed and attached.
March 22; 24/48 squares completed and attached. The pattern had 24 different square patterns, so at this point each square was a different pattern.
March 31; 29/48 squares completed and attached. The first four rows were each of the patterns in the order of their placement in the PDF, 1-6 being the top row, then 7-12 for the second row, 13-18 for the third, and 19-24 for the fourth. At that point I started row 5 with pattern #24 and worked them all backwards, so the two bottom rows in this pic have the same patterned squares going in opposite directions.
June 4; all 48 squares completed and attached. I had had to take a break from this project to work on a baby gift, but also my back had started aching from all the time I spend hunched over my work. Take breaks while you work, kids!
June 17 completion date; The edging was 14 rounds but the first few rounds took a looooong time because I had to triple check my stitch counts on each side to make sure they matched. Even with triple-checking I still miscounted, so that required some crafty stitch-adding in round 2 to even things out. Then in round 4, where I started on the 4dc clusters, I made another booboo with stitch-counting (which I didn't catch until round 5, approximately a thousand stitches later, so I was not going to pull them all out) that made it so there's a very noticeable (to me) error on every round after that, but it mostly looks fine and you can't even tell from far away, so I think it'll be okay. It adds character.

Best of Friends
Peter Parker x reader
Part 8
a?N: HI... so i know this is looooong overdue, i am so sorry about that. I know how frustrating it must have been to wait so long. Honestly i just got really wrapped up with life and i had gotten a job, and school, then i got a boyfriend so it just really consumed my time. But i got fired, i'm on break, and me and my boyfriend broke up soooo here's that story lol.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chaos.
That's really the only word you could use to describe the next few days leading up to your hangout with Peter.
Whether it was Wanda and Nat attempting to play dress up with you, or Pietro and Bucky ;( a surprising team up) pestering you about how Peter better watch his back. Not to mention your father and Pepper telling you how you don’t have to push yourself.
Really it was exhausting. Especially because you were already nervous as it is.
Peter had really hurt you. It hurts when someone you love just up and decided to cut you out of there lives with no notice, ANd even if its not what Peter intended, it's how you were effected. So yes, you were a bit weary. How could you not be?
“Miss Y/n, Peter Parker has arrived.” FRIDAY stated, even she sounded annoyed.
Your heart skipped a beat, and you shakily called out a thank you.
As you got your stuff together, you wondered what was going to happen. Obviously it was a good thing that Peter wanted to see you. He even said he wanted to make everything up to you.
So why were you so anxious?
You finally reached the main room, where Peter was there waiting. Again surrounded by passive aggressive superheros, doing their best to make him regret ever making you cry.
As soon as he saw you he stood, faster than you had ever seen him move before.
“Y/N!”, he shouts, sounding relieved, “ Are you ready?”
You send him a small smile, nodding your head and then glaring at the group of adults behind him.
“Yeah, lets go” You say as you walk to the elevator, leaving Peter to follow behind, feeling the scorching gaze of the avengers on his back.
“Have fun, Y/n. I am but a phone call away~” Pietro coos, sweet words with an intimidating message behind it.
You smile to yourself, seeing Peter sigh in relief as the doors shut and the elevator moves to the lobby.
An awkward silence falls upon you two. One that is unfamiliar, as you and Peter have always had something to talk about.
“I’m sorry Y/n...” Peter says suddenly, “ I don’t know what I was thinking...”
You glance to the ground, not knowing what to say. You really were never good at speaking your emotions.
“I think I was just used to being your number one... so when he came along I didn’t know how to handle it.”
“You really hurt me.” You state quietly, “ I know that’s probably not what you meant to do”
“Its not” Peter says quickly, “ Trust me Y/n, seeing you sad and knowing that I’m the reason will always haunt me. I never want to be the reason you cry.”
“But you were” You whispered, looking at your feet.
Peter swallowed, “ I never wanted to ... I just needed space to think.”
“Peter... needing space is fine. Understandable, but the way you went about it is what hurt me. You went from texting me and seeing em everyday, to ignoring me and making excuses not to see me. That's what hurt me.” You say, finally telling him how you feel, “ If you felt that strongly about Jason, then you should have told me. Before you jumped to conclusions and cut me off. If you needed space then you should have told me.”
Peter looked at the ground, taking in what you were telling him.
You felt bad laying into him like that but it had to be said.
“ You’re lucky I love you.” You say with a sigh. Hearing those words Peters heart nearly stopped, looking at your face in surprise,
Did you feel the same as him?
“You can mess up a thousand times and I’d still want you as my friend.”
oh.
“Yeah...friends” Peter says in a tone.
You notice the shift in tone, but before you can comment on it Peters phone goes off. As he checks it his face changes, at first excitement but then it morphs into a look of guilt.
You frown, “Peter who is it?”
“Oh!...uh its Liz.” He stumbles, “But! But! I promised it was just you and me today, and it will be.”
You look at the ground, “If you need to take it then I understand...”
“Hey, no, look I’m putting it away.” He says, pocketing the phone after putting it on silent, “ come on, I’ve been craving a hot dog from a shady stand for the longest time.”
He takes your hand and leads you through the busy streets of Manhattan. The feeling bringing a heat to your cheeks. It was warm and familiar. Being with Peter always brought you a sense of comfort you weren’t able to feel with anyone else. He was your home away from home. Being away from him felt like a piece of you was missing. You didn’t truly understand these feelings, Peter really being the only guy you’ve gotten to know like this, but you’ve seen it before.
You’ve seen it in movies, dreamy scenes where the protagonist goes through a montage of activities with the love interest, only to end with them falling in love. You see it with your parents, the way your father looks at Pepper, as if she hung the moon and stars herself. Its a feeling that you long to have.
And with Peter, you think you’ve found it. You love being around him. The way his hair looks when the sun hits it just right. The way he slightly dances to a song he likes, not enough to be obvious but just enough to be noticable. You love the way he sends you pictures of things he wants before he buys them to get your opinion. Or the way he laughs when you say something that surprises him. The little things that nobody else has noticed but you have.
As you were thinking about all this, you didn’t realize that you stopped walking and were staring at Peter, slightly freaking him out.
“uh...Y/n..are you okay?” He asks, feeling awkward but worried since you just stopped out of nowhere.
Shaking yourself out of it, you smile, “Yeah! Sorry I got lost in thought I guess.”
You couldn’t feel this way for him. How could you when he doesn't feel the same? He made his choice and his choice was Liz. You really were only a friend to him.
“Hey, wanna swing up to the top of my school? We could eat there?” Peter says with a mischievous smile, knowing you get motion sick.
“Peter...” You warn with a slight smile.
You squeak as he suddenly pulls you in an alley and leaps, webs shooting out of the hidden shooter under his sleeve.
“PETER” You shout, burying your face in his shoulder, trying to hold onto the bag that contained your hotdogs and hold in the contents of your stomach. You flinch every time you feel your bodies drop and rise, the momentum making your stomach twist. Finally, after what felt like forever, you land with a jolt.
“Jeez you really have a tight grip” Peter says with a small chuckle, “Sorry, I know you hate that.”
You huff for a second trying to keep the contents of your stomach in your body. Then you shoot him an sharp glare.
“I hate you.” You say with a slight laugh. Peter puts his hand on his heart feigning a hurt look.
“Don’t say that.” He says with a smile, “Come on, lets eat.”
And you do. While this whole thing hasn’t truly been resolved, it was nice to just be with him. To enjoy his presence once more, and be Y/n and Pete again. In fact this was the thing you missed the most. The comfort he brought to you. The feeling of content and happiness, like you two were the only two people in the world. And as far as you were concerned, at this very moment, you were.

@interstellardragon
okay I’ll get some updates for the campaign! thank you guys for taking interest in my dumb weird post curse of strahd adventures lol. Now that I have free time there’s a lot more sketches I want to make because the party has been through a lot so far.
anyway looooong post below cut. there are some pictures though, at least.
The party’s enjoying it! One member had to take a break due to IRL concerns, but so far everyone’s been enjoying it, and they’ve definitely enjoyed being able to play their characters from a relatively young age to maturing, starting families, having kids, etc. :D It’s been fun to play through because not many campaigns go that long, you know? Currently they’re on another adventure, so they haven’t had as much domestic time!
The adventure: after the five year skip, the party got asked by an old friend (Orezana -- one of the first NPCs of the outside world to interact with them) if they could... kill the queen to end the war. The party refused, instead deciding that they were going to investigate Twilight Woods: the homeland of the dusk elves, now abandoned. The queen supposedly changed personalities when she came from there. So stands to reason something happened in there, right?
Well, they ventured inwards -- Ellerian, Kelogul, Miharu, Arialoth, and Rahadin. Ireena couldn’t join them, as she’s actually pregnant currently, and the party didn’t think they’d be gone... that long. They got ambushed by a group of dullahan that nearly killed them and sent them further into the woods. All contact with the outside is lost. They don’t know how to get out (DM Note: it’s being treated like a domain of delight/domain of dread in terms of those rules, so basically Barovia. They can’t use sending. They can’t teleport. They’re trapped).
They came across Rahadin’s birthplace, a place called Hllona, where its inhabitants were mysteriously turned to stone. There, they found a clue on how to escape from an old nursery book Rahadin’s mom used to read to him:
In the Forest, overgrown
Sit the Kings upon their throne
Answer them their riddles three
And you may pass between the trees
From there, they traveled south, finding a set of mass graves from when Barov’s men marched through. They encountered a haunted tree that attacked them, decorated with breaking wheels (note: during the fight, the tree dragged Rahadin up into its branches and began re-enacting the same brutality enacted on him many years ago. It was fun!). Here was the tree’s token:
After the battle they decided to head back to Hllona and take a rest (note: we actually use gritty realism rules, so this was their ‘long rest’ -- i.e. 7 day vacation). Afterwards, they discovered an abandoned tower with the skeletons of two kids surrounded by cherished toys. They met a vulture-like man inside, who called himself Myslik -- and asked the group if they would take him to the city of Temir, home to the finest magical academy of the dusk elves that now sits abandoned. He mentioned how it was guarded by a sphinx, who sits in the abandoned city and refuses entry to anyone.
Note: the vulture-like man is a nagpa. Nagpa are a race of 13 cursed wizards that were fucked up by the Raven Queen. certainly this will have no ties at all into the area the party is in. :)
Anyway, they traveled to Temir. Rahadin told them some of the history of the city, and how it was the first major city to surrender to Barov as his men marched through. They found the home of the old town master, and they cracked opened his safe, only to find what was essentially a time capsule and a letter begging whoever found it to find the joy that his family would never get. They then confronted the Sphinx of Temir.
The sphinx fucked with time, sending two people forward to the future briefly, and even at one point turned Ellerian into a baby. But they killed it. Ellerian wants to take the hourglass around its neck and see if they can’t rebuild it (it was played off more like a construct than a living creature aesthetically) and possibly free it somehow. It was a sphinx enslaved to guard a dead university in an abandoned town, which he sympathized with a lot.
In any case, NEXT SESSION the party is going to enter the university. It’s an enormous dungeon lol, with over 25+ rooms that they’re going to get to explore. I’m really excited to finish it and run it for them. also the sphinx turned 3/5 party members into teens again, and nobody has access to greater restoration to fix it.
As bonus, here’s some of the maps. The first map is actually... so the way I have this set up is that the party is basically in a hex crawl. I told the party that I wouldn’t provide or draw the map for them -- they’d have to do so themselves. So far they’ve been doing a great job, lol. The drawings oontop of it are what they’ve done; everything faded beneath is the actual locations.
Here’s the map for Hllona:
And here’s the map for Temir.
It’s definitely been a lot of fun, for both players and I. My players have told me they’re really enjoying the exploration aspect, as well as the kind of survival aspect (they didn’t bring a lot of rations going in, so they’ve had to scavenge for food and manage their resources). And on my end, I’ve enjoyed running it, because... well, if it ain’t obvious: I always thought the dusk elves were extremely interesting and it’s been neat to expand on their lore. Plus the party is actually interested in little shit I put out just to solve the mystery of it. They spent about an hour theorizing over the corpses of two dead kids to think about what happened to them, and the best way to respect their bodies. I’ve had to write a lot of lore about why the place is like what it is, how the dusk elves fit into the world. And it’s been interesting playing Rahadin, a character that has spent 9 years essentially being declawed by the party to have to encounter his past self and what he did.
tl;dr: shit’s fun and im excited.
tl;dr rahadin and ireena update: they got married, they’re gonna have a kid, but Rahadin’s currently trapped in another plane of existence and ireena’s losin’ her fuckin’ mind. but nobody knows that.
#palidoozy rambles#d&d homebrew#from the mists#i gotta start tagging all this stuff with the campaign's name#long post#d&d#more art tomorrow woooooooo

The crew with their soulmate headcannons
Ok, to make it up to y'all for the angst yesterday, here's a response to the death by broken heart post 😌
This one goes out to @smokeywhalee since I've had her crying for the past like three posts 💀💀😂 I also snuck in a little something to the Weaver one for @direwolfspostsrandomshit and I specifically 😌💅🏻
No warnings, just a very long post and lots of fluff lol
Adler
You two met when he was still young, before he even joined the CIA
Back when he was a goofy, carefree kid who didn't know better
You've been with him through so much by now, that he knows he can always count on you when something's bothering him
There's no one he trusts more in the whole world
Adler knew you were the one around the time he got his scars
He thought for sure you'd leave him, thinking he looked like some kind of monster with half his face bandaged and bloodied like it is
But when he came home from the hospital, you were so overjoyed to see him again, it's like the bandages weren't even there
You kissed his face and helped him clean and dress the stitches and cuts everyday until they healed
With you there to give him all that affection, he's never let his scars make him feel any less then handsome
Of course, it doesn't hurt that you remind him often
Even now, he never tires of you kissing his scars
Hudson
You and Hudson met in college, back when he was a shy, nerdy outcast
It's not like you were exactly popular, but you at least had some social circles to run in
He never thought someone like you would even look twice at someone like him, but...
He's been wrong before
One day you decided to give him a chance, maybe just see what his story is, and you've never looked back since
Hudson's life path calls for the utmost secrecy for nearly everything, and you've lost contact with a handful of people because of it
But you've never complained
If anything, you consider it their loss for losing you
That's how Hudson knew you were the one
You have an undefeatable, never give up attitude and can find the silver lining in just about everything you put your mind to
And of course... You indulge him in his love of head rubs
It's you and his best kept secret of all
Lazar
You've known each other since you were just kids
For him, it was puppy love at first sight, and he was crushing hard before he knew it
But... He was always insecure about his weight, being a bit chunky as a kid and all
He was afraid of rejection because of it
A shame really, since you would've loved him no matter what
But as fate would have it, you stayed friends all the way up until highschool where sports had him shedding weight like crazy
All the fluctuation has left him with stretch marks, some loose skin, and a belly pouch, but luckily growing up gave him enough confidence to make up for it
He asked you to the senior dance your last year of highschool, and later that night you shared your first kiss behind the bleachers outside
You were his first kiss ever
Lazar always knew you were the one
You've been his closest friend and biggest supporter since you were kids on a playground
He just wanted to make himself feel worthy of you first
No one else makes him feel as comfortable in his skin as you do, and only you are allowed the special honor of touching his body
A gift you exercise frequently when you cuddle him at night
Mason
Alex didn't meet you until after Vietnam and the whole... brainwashing business
After trying and trying for years only to end up with an ever growing list of failed relationships, he just assumed he was too damaged to love
Besides, he's getting a bit older now... Maybe he's just not meant to find someone
Or so he thinks
He meets you randomly in public, on an ordinary day in an ordinary place
You two happen to hit a conversation and it just keeps going and going...
Until finally you exchange numbers and begin seeing each other more frequently
And that's when Alex knows you're the one, he can just... feel it deep down
But it isn't until one, vulnerable night, when he tells you about his past and the war and.... Well, everything, that he knows for sure
With so much fear being pushed about the Russian threat and all that, he thought for sure the knowledge that he's been a brainwashed sleeper agent once would scare you away
It was a shock for sure, but... You aren't afraid of him, in fact, you feel sympathetic for his plight of anything
Alex doesn't need your sympathy, mind, but he is thankful for the empathy
That's all he wants, really
That, and someone who'll hold him through the nightmares at night
Looks like he lucked out there too :)
Park
She met you as a fellow agent through MI6
Things were purely professional for a looooong time
But she must admit though, you're quite charismatic, cunning, and frankly?
Adorable
Helen's not quite sure when the joking, friendly flirting turned serious but...
She's glad for it
You ask her out on a date first and things go well
More then well
She doesn't kiss and tell, but let's just say... She knows you're the one
You always have her back on the field and off
You're her closest friend and confident
She's breaking the rules by cluing you in on the goings on with the hunt for perseus and all, but there's no one here she trusts more for feedback and brainstorming
But it's probably a good thing you're not in the safehouse, considering you almost killed someone after the skyhook debacle
She rolls her eyes at your fussing, but you swear to never let her go again
And you know what? Park may not show it, but she loves how much you care for her
Perseus
He met you back in the ussr, when he still looked like his picture
You two grew close in your service to the government, and you were one of the first people he trusted to try and recruit for his operation
When you didn't even hesitate to say yes, that's when he knew you were the one
You've already proven yourself and impressed him with your wit and integrity in your service to the ussr
In fact, few have ever stood out to him in such a way as you have
All he needed to know was if you trusted him and truly believed in a better future
Many are jelous to see you running around with the exceptionally handsome man, but perseus was never one to get hung up on looks
However, he's glad you enjoy his appearance as much as you do his mind
Together, you raise hell for the capitalists, bringing a true biting edge to the cold war threat
In return for your loyalty, he does all he can to keep you a secret, both as his lover and his accomplice
If anything happened to you like what happened to Bell...
He would take the fight to your captors himself
And they wouldn't stand a chance...
Weaver
He met you through working in Requiem
You're one of the strike team operators, but you spend a fair amount of time talking with the consultants and himself back at base
Weaver finds you a little intimidating, but in a good kind of way
Sort of how he use to be back in the day
When he realizes he may or may not have a little thing for you, he suddenly becomes very shy
He's afraid to try and make a move on you because surely rejection would be the only outcome?
After all, he's way too far past his prime by now, missing an eye and slowly letting himself fall out of shape
It's a mess
So why haven't you just moved on from him yet...?
Doctor Grey seems strangely invested in this little one sided romance, so with a bit of help, he manages to ask you out for coffee
The last thing he expected was for you to say yes
It's not until the day that you almost don't make it back to base that he realizes how very much you mean to him
Weaver stays with you as frequently as he can while you recover and can often be found cuddling you in your med bay bed (bc why the hell not?) or at home
He has to pull back a little on visiting you in the med bay however
He's starting to get teased for how much he loves all the head pets, jaw scratches, and tummy rubs you give him while you're bored and resting
Carver has now begun addressing him as "Fido" with no end in sight
Woods
He meets you out at the marine base he spends all his time at
It was one of the many occasions that he was doing target practice at the range, and he today he's caught you watching him
At first he honestly didn't think much of it, but of course he took the opportunity to show off a little
He succeeded in managing to lure you over with his skills, where you came to stroke his ego a bit
For that, he offers to show you some pointers and before either of you know it, target practice together becomes a regular occurance
From there, anything more social is up to you to initiate
He's a bit taken aback when you invite him out to do something off base sometime, but... He accepts
Once out of his element, he's like a whole other person
You're surprised to find that he's a lot more shy and little more warm towards you
You find it adorable
That starts the slippery path to how he knows you're the one
You're the only person he truly feels like he can be himself with
Everyone else expects the hardened sargent, and while that is still him...
He never feels like he has an opportunity to share his softer side
You can never complain about being cold or lonely with him around
Frank loves nothing more then cuddling with you whenever and wherever he can
Not only is it just, well, nice, to have the human contact, but it makes him feel like he gets to protect you
And nothing makes him happier then to see you safe :)

so basically the adam pov said that yes he knows something is very wrong and he doesnt know why ronan is acting this way or what happenend to him but they have not broken up and he simply stuck to this lie because its easier. well hpefully ronan doesnt hear that lol. also the alter idem liar liar killed me :( i think hes really hurtng because the person he loves the most isnt responding or communicating with him and maybe he feels insecure as well like he replied to ronan but now he doesnt hear from him anymore and what shoudl he think now? :( god theyre killing me
i don’t know how to put this under a read more on mobile app so
‼️LONG MI SPOILERS AHEAD
reading his pov makes me sad for him (though i kinda expected it was something like this) because to me it feels like adam isn’t even part of his friend group at Harvard he’s just their “leader” or something? the one who put them together who they adored and looked up to? idk it’s just the way he talked about fletcher going to gillian’s house and eliot and benjy spending nearly all their time together and say nothing about him with everyone else. “he had done a good job assembling the Crying Club” “THEY got along so well” honey are you okay??? and the Crying club genuinely wants to have him in their activities but he’s just not that person he’s pretending (trying?) to be so he can’t truly enjoy anything his friends are interested in (the gourmet waffle?). and oh god imagine him keeping up the lies if he goes to gillian’s for Christmas and meet her family 🥲 i think he really didn’t want to. this brings me back to the moment ronan came to visit him in CDTH and when ronan was there i think it was like a break for adam, he didn’t need to keep up the Harvard persona for a moment, there was a sense of relief when they hugged and he said “you smell like home”, and when ronan said he was going to stay at Cambridge. after the murder crab accident adam told ronan that he will go to a school closer to him and that feels so desperate to me. he wants stability and safety and success because he knows what life is like without but he also wants ronan, he wants ronan too much. the future he wants for himself and the future with ronan, he wants both. he is also realizing ronan is going on a different path, the more chaotic dangerous one. so yea when ronan didn’t contact him for weeks i also think he was insecure and hurting, and then maybe later angry too cuz he knew ronan was keeping him out of dreamspace (“is he taking YOUR calls?” to declan)
seriously they need to meet and have a looooong talk i’m going insane 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
it’s good to know he’s eating well and have day offs and doing fake tarot readings for pocket money though. love him 💖

Sooooo, I've found myself in a bit of a slump. I figured it'd be a good time to make a follow-up post to my original about my deep dive into Thai BL (pinned post).
Huge "THANK YOU!!!!" to those of you that offered up suggestions for what to watch.
My previous watched list had me at Lovely Writer, which I absolutely loved. I did take a short break after, but followed it up with Until We Meet Again. Holy shit! I kinda wish I could have experienced watching that one live... it was so fucking good!! (And I can't wait for Between Us!!!) This may get long, but here's a list of what else I've watched, in order:
Tharntype & Tharntype2 (and whatever special episodes there were... I know this one is really controversial, but I couldn't help but fall in love them. And I'm glad I watched this before Love By Chance.)
Love By Chance & A Chance to Love (So I really liked this; I really fell in love with Perth's acting. Pete and Ae are so sweet! I love Can!!! Little baby! But TinCan took some time to warm up to, and I almost didn't watch the next series, but in the end, I'm glad I did... even if it was a bit wonky timeline wise. And Ae, the poor dear, was such a sad boy the entire time.)
Lovesick/2 (this was a pain in the ass to find a watchable version. The first season was great, but the second season was waaay too looooong; I almost gave up. Let me tell you, the only reason I even went looking for this show was because I saw the cast for ReminderS, and I'm an idiot who can't watch things out of order.... But I am glad I watched it. It seems to have been one of the flagship BLs for Thailand, and I felt it handled the stories so well.)
ReminderS (Yeah. I saw that the cast was the main four from LBC, and I really wanted to see them together in something else. I thought it was good for a three episode coda type thing for Lovesick.)
Don't Say No (I haven't finished this yet... I got about halfway through. I'll go back to it eventually because I was enjoying it. I just got distracted...)
He's Coming to Me (LOOOOOOOOVED IT! It was such a sweet show! And it was so well acted!)
Golden Blood (I debated not even mentioning it because I couldn't even get through the first episode... I wasn't really feeling it at the time, so I moved on. I am planning on trying again since I hate DNFing without even finishing the first episode of something.)
I then rewatched 2gether cuz my friend was watching it for the first time.
En Love Tossara & Love Mechanics (I watched these because they were short and had relatively good reviews. They were good. That's it haha)
My Gear & Your Gown (I don't have much to say. It was good.)
Why R U? (I've only just started this recently and am not very far into it. It seems crazy lol)
That's where I am with finished shows. I have four that I'm currently watching live: Enchanté, Something in my Room, Not Me, and Cutie Pie. Enchanté and Cutie Pie I watched from day one, Something in my Room I started when ep3 dropped, and I waited for ep6 to start Not Me. I'm not too invested in Something in my Room, but the others I can't help thinking about between episodes hahahah I'm gonna be a mess next week with the final episode of Not Me.
This got longer than I intended; lots of kudos if you made it this far!
Like I mentioned, I'm in a very unmotivated slump right now when it comes to watching a completed show... I hope it doesn't last long.
#thai bl#i'm in a slump rn#send help#tharntype#love by chance#chance to love#lovesick#until we meet again#enchante#not me#something in my room#cutie pie the series#he's coming to me#my gear and your gown#sorry this got long#thai drama#*

Storytelling asks! 5, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 31, 32 and 33!
Putting these under a cut because it'll get looooong!
5. how do you choose your characters’ names?
I usually look at lists of the most on-trend names for the particular decade and then use that as a reference, but I tend to go for the ones further down the popularity list otherwise everyone would be called John lol
I like to make nice pairings between first and middle names too, especially middle names honoring another person. It's all gotta flow. This family is woke.
7. whats the biggest risk you’ve taken with your story? did it pay off
One of the biggest risks was Daisy's arc, because I know some might find her behaviours and decisions morally compromised or controversial. THe last thing I want to do is cause controversy but also I don't think every character has to be perfect and wholesome because people just arent like that. Everyone still likes her though so... I think it paid off?
13. from basic planning to a finished post, how long does that take you
I have a note on my phone that I edit in the day (usually when I'm on public transport or in a waiting room etc) where I plan all my posts when creativity strikes. I then use that as a reference to build from, and I flesh the idea for each post out from that.
Eg: X and Y get married, I break it into this so I know what images I want to tell that story:
Picture of the chapel
Bride walking down aisle
Picture of the bride and groom saying vows
Family members watching
Final photo of the married couple
How long it takes to do that depends on how long it takes me to appropriately dress the scene - e.g. does the church already exist or do I need to download one and then decorate it? - how long it takes me to dress all the sims, posing everyone (which can go for ages depending on how many sims there are). The last part - editting - is usually the easiest, because I have pre-saved actions so its pretty smooth.
14. do you have any regrets about your story so far? if you could go back in time, how would you fix these?
I think my biggest regret is not giving some of the characters more air-time in the 1900s. I had a whole subplot about Marigold and Primrose going to suffragette rallies with Juniper and getting into trouble. I also wish I could've done more with Juniper's story then too. But, I was at a point in the 1900s where I was becoming disillusioned by my challenge and not playing it anymore because my ideas were bigger than what I had the tools to create at the time, and in order to keep going, I needed to skip those bits of story and move on to the next decade. So, I regret that a bit, but it was a necessary thing at the time.
20. already answered!
21. choose your least favourite shot so far
Oh boy. Well. This absolutely fucked photo I accidentally took when I forgot to remove a gun accessory from Tommy's outfit, thought it wouldn't matter, then posed him looking at his newborn son:
Yep.
22. choose a favourite character from your story so far
That ain't fair but it's probably... Juniper.
23. choose your least favourite character so far
THAT ain't fair how could I?? Don't make a mother do this to her children!
31. drop some random trivia about your story
the Langston's have $200,000 (and I need to get rid of it by 1929...)
32. give a light spoiler
someone in this generation is LGBTQI 🌈
33. recommend another creator’s story!
I'm really liking @antiquatedplumbobs story! The imagery 💓 *chefs kiss*

Armed to the Fangs ch.11
SUMMARY: you grew up in the hunter’s guild, understanding that it is your sacred duty as a hunter to protect humanity from the vampires that lurk in the dark, draining the life from anyone unlucky enough to be caught. while making the rounds one night, you encounter taehyung, a fabled born vampire - not that you know that when he tries to entice you into a dark alley. next thing you know, you’re kidnapped and taken to their home, where you realise that all of them somehow crave your blood and seem to know more about your past than you do. finding out about where you came from might be the key to setting humanity free.
PAIRING: eventual ot7 x reader
WARNINGS: some description of violence, angst, pining, maybe eventual smut but not for a looooong time, slow burn (really the slowest of burns), fainting from blood loss, things move along in this chapter!
RATING: T
WORD COUNT: 3.8k
A/N: thank you @pasteljeon for looking over this for me. hope you enjoy this update before i disappear again LOL
series index
All of them watched with bated breath as you walked across the room. They could hear your heart pounding madly inside your chest, but your footsteps were resolute and steady. If not for their supernatural hearing, they would have been fooled into thinking that you were completely confident.
“Y/n,” Hoseok rasped, his gaze fixed on you. You tried not to think of the gleam in his eyes as predatory.
Clenching your fists to stop your hands from trembling, you perched lightly on the edge of the mattress. Hoseok’s eyes zeroed in on your jugular, on the almost imperceptible motion of your pulse under the thin, sensitive skin. Even as his instincts clamoured for the blood rushing under your flesh that would save him, there was a sense of hesitance, of guilt, and it was reflected in the slightly sluggish way he reached for you, beating back the urge to pounce.
The other boys shared glances. It was all but clear that you didn’t know the extent of the commitment you were making right now. It wasn’t just a one-time thing: this would bind Hoseok – and the others – to you forever. Were you really okay with this?
Tension was high in the room as the boys debated with each other silently over what to do. They knew that Seokjin wouldn’t tell you until after the deed was done. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission, after all, and once you were bound to them, there would be time aplenty to make it up to you. Jungkook, on the other hand, had his fists clenched by his sides.
“Wait—” he cried, his cheeks flushed and his brows drawn down into a scowl.
It felt like everything in the room stopped as all the occupants swiveled their heads around to look at Jungkook. He seemed to realize, too, immediately clamming up and ducking his head as all his bravado vanished in an instant.
Luckily for you, Yoongi took courage from his younger brother’s outburst, continuing where Jungkook hadn’t dared to. “There are some things you should know before you commit to this.”
Hoseok, who hadn’t had the energy for a long, drawn-out explanation, slumped back against the headrest with relief – and a little disappointment. After all, if you ran out of here screaming – which was a real possibility – he might not survive it.
Perched lightly on the edge of the mattress, you redirected your attention to Yoongi. From the sombre inflection in his voice, you could tell that what he was going to say was serious.
“Hoseok… he isn’t sick, or dying because of what happened the other day, or anything like that,” Yoongi started, taking some time to gather his thoughts before he launched into the main part of his explanation.
“You triggered… something in him when you met him,” he continued, putting it as delicately as possible. There was a lot of information that you probably shouldn’t have yet, and all of the brothers were in agreement that regardless of whether you bound yourself to Hoseok, it would be too soon for you to know the full extent of your significance to them. Hell, not all of them were even ready to admit to themselves what was going on.
“What is it?” Curious, you leaned forward.
“His body is rejecting packaged blood,” Namjoon cut Yoongi off smoothly with a more elegant explanation that was less likely to send you screaming for the hills. “He can’t keep any of the blood we have on hand down. He needs a live donor.”
“A live donor…” you murmured to yourself, turning back towards Hoseok thoughtfully. You didn’t know if what they were telling you was true, or even plausible, but then again, you weren’t really an expert on vampire anatomy and biology. Unless it was about the most efficient way to dispatch one, of course.
“Not just that,” Namjoon continued. “There are… some people who are more compatible with certain vampires than others.” That was an understatement of the mate bond so severe it was basically mischaracterization. “You and Hoseok just happen to be compatible in that way. Once he drinks from you, he will need to keep doing it.”
That was the key information you needed, they thought. The mate bond, and all of it… none of them were quite ready to lay all their cards on the table, but you had to know that this wasn’t a one-time deal.
You blanched, your head whipping back around to Namjoon, who was leaning against the wall next to the bedroom door. “I… what?” you breathed in shock and some horror. This had to be a trope from a horror movie, right? Being a permanent blood bag, getting drained of your life bit by bit until there was none of it left to sustain you…
There was nothing you could imagine that was more terrifying. Visions of all the drained bodies you’d come across in your life flashed before your eyes, pale, cold, hard, their necks torn and bloody. You didn’t want that, you thought, feeling like you were sinking into a black hole.
Taehyung sprang forward as you swayed slightly, your face pale as you processed the bombshell Namjoon had dropped on you. “Y/n! Are you okay?” he asked in concern, his hands outstretched to catch you if you fell.
“No…” you murmured. “If you’re going to drain me, do it in one shot. Don’t draw it out.” Even faced with the fear of death, your commitment to the debt you owed Hoseok won out. He’d saved your life, and now you would save his – even at the expense of your own. It was the hunter code, and even if you weren’t a hunter anymore, the habits ingrained in you since you could remember were impossible to break.
Despite how faint and thready the sound of your voice was, all the boys heard you fine. It was so silent in the next moment that even you could hear your own heartbeat pounding in your ears.
Then the room exploded into action. There was indistinguishable yelling, and Taehyung lurched forward, grabbing your hands. It seemed you’d tripped over a land mine somehow, though you weren’t sure what it was, or how you’d triggered them.
“Y/n,” Taehyung said, getting way too close to your face. He gave you an imploring gaze, and the sadness in his eyes made you want to turn away in discomfort, though you couldn’t bring yourself to. “Hoseok would never drain you.” His voice, filled with sincerity, made you feel almost guilty for ever thinking that Hoseok would do such a thing, but then you remembered your first encounter with him, and pulled your hands out of his grasp.
“Y/n, I promise you,” Namjoon added. “The bond between m—vampires and their feeders is all but unbreakable. When… if,” he amended hastily, “you let Hoseok feed from you, he will do everything in his power to keep you safe, including from himself.”
You looked up, and Namjoon nodded at you, the conviction in the set of his jaw clear. The rest of the boys were nodding in agreement, and you turned to look at Hoseok, who was still leaning weakly against the headboard. There wasn’t much expression on his face, but he’d marshalled what seemed like the last of his strength to nod at you, leaning forward slightly.
You took a breath, steeling yourself. “Okay,” you whispered, your voice sounding like it could dissipate into the wind. You trembled as you walked towards the bed, but your steps didn’t waver. The time it took you to cross the room felt like a microsecond stretched into eternity, and you were almost surprised when you reached the bed.
Hoseok’s eyes immediately fixed on your neck, watching the almost imperceptible way your vein throbbed. He could hear the thrum of the blood rushing through it, smell the delicious aroma wafting off you. In your agitation, your heart had quickened, and your face had become flushed, making the scent all the stronger.
You could sense more than see the ravenous hunger pouring off the vampire. It might have been because of your hunter training but, you thought, it was more likely the survival instinct of prey animals that made you hyperaware of the intense stare you were pinned under. That same instinct made you want to run for the hills, but instead you fisted your hands in the sheets to anchor yourself.
“Okay,” you repeated, almost like a mantra to keep yourself calm – or at least, looking that way on the outside – as you steeled yourself, leaning closer to Hoseok as you tipped your head to the side to expose the vein that he’d been eyeing so hungrily.
There was a breathless second of anticipation… and then he struck.
Almost absently, you noted the fluid grace to his movements as he grabbed you, the fingers of one hand spearing through the hair at the base of your head to hold your head in that position as the other rested on your shoulder. There was something almost tender about the way his thumb stroked your collarbone. By contrast, the inhuman speed he used to move his head to your neck and sink his teeth into the flesh reminded you that this was no intimate encounter. You were food, and from the muffled moans of satisfaction you could hear coming from Hoseok, a rather delicious meal at that.
Helplessly, you let out a small whimper, your fingers loosening from the sheets. You wondered if it was in your head, or if the slight weakness you felt in your extremities was because of the blood loss. Despite the boys’ assurances that no harm would come to you, the way Hoseok continued greedily gulping down the blood currently gushing into his mouth was definitely cause for concern, you thought.
Just as you were sure you were going to pass out, Hoseok extracted his teeth from your neck, lapping at the wounds to close them and clean the errant rivulets of blood running down your neck. Hopefully he got them all, you thought slightly dizzily. You liked this shirt.
It was nice that Hoseok was still holding on to your hair, you noted as you leaned against his arm. He was basically propping you up at this point.
You were conscious, but just barely, as you felt Hoseok lower you onto the mattress. Yoongi was the first one to step forward, and he pushed your hair out of your face and behind your ear tenderly. “You took too much,” he castigated Hoseok.
“I know,” Hoseok mumbled, looking ashamed.
“No, you’re good.” You didn’t know why, but the misery radiating from Hoseok stirred something in you. Despite how weak you felt, your priority was making him feel better instead of your own self-preservation. “I’m fine, see?” Taking in a deep breath, you tried to push yourself into a sitting position, but the arm you were using to support your weight collapsed, and Yoongi caught you before you flopped back onto the mattress.
“We should let her rest.” Seokjin came closer and rearranged you, tucking you in next to Hoseok. “She’ll need a cookie or something to raise her blood sugar level.”
You meant to get up and protest that you were fine, you could take care of yourself, but you were suddenly so tired and cold, and it was so cozy and comfortable under the sheets that you just let yourself drift off.
--------------------------------
Your head hurt like you were hungover, but you knew that definitely wasn’t the case because there hadn’t been any parties at the manor. With a groan, you turned over and opened your eyes slightly, wincing.
In a flash, Hoseok was there beside you, slowly helping you up. He looked a lot better than he had earlier, his cheeks rounder and fuller, his eyes sparkling again.
“How long have I been out?” you asked, your voice raspy. Immediately, Jungkook appeared, holding a glass of water out for you. You reached out to take it from him, but he refused to hand it over, instead holding it in front of your face.
Annoyed, you sighed. “I’m not an invalid,” you told him, grabbing the cup anyway. He didn’t let go, and in the end, your hand was around his as you both tilted the cup towards you.
When you drained the glass, Jungkook took it away from you, putting it down on the bedside table, before returning to fuss over you.
“You guys, I’m okay,” you protested, trying to push the covers off your body to get out of bed. This clearly wasn’t your room, and you wanted to go back. “Where’s Injeolmi?”
“Jimin’s looking after him,” Hoseok reassured you. “You can go back to your room, just eat something first?” The imploring gaze he levelled on you left you powerless to do anything but nod at him.
Seokjin must have been eavesdropping, because it wasn’t even thirty seconds after that that he appeared in the doorway, holding a giant tray of food that he set down in front of you.
“Where did you get this?” you asked, bemused. You hadn’t seen a bed tray in the manor before, and it wasn’t something you’d have thought seven vampires living alone needed.
“Just laying around,” Seokjin said cagily before taking the covers off the food. A hearty beef stew, rice, and an array of side dishes sat neatly on the tray.
“Wow,” you marvelled as you picked up the spoon. Seokjin, despite being unable to eat, constantly wowed you with his culinary creations. The boys watched over you closely as you stuffed your face merrily, only seeming to relax when you’d finished every last morsel of food and slumped back, spent, against the pillows.
“You should get some more rest,” Seokjin said as he picked up the bed tray and made to leave the room.
You nodded in response. The carb coma was starting to get to you, and you pushed the covers off, intending to go back to your room to sleep it off. The other boys protested, but eventually gave in, on the condition that Jungkook would walk you back to your room.
Thankfully, you made the short walk back without any mishaps. Jimin was still there with Injeolmi when you came in, but after making sure that you were okay, he left too.
“Hey, baby,” you crooned at Injeolmi, who leapt off the couch and came to weave around your ankles. You picked him up and went to sit on your bed, leaning against the pillows. Leaning your head back and staring at the ceiling, your hand came up to your neck. The wounds had healed almost instantly – some sort of supernatural magic, you were sure – but the skin was still tender.
For the first time, the gravity of the situation sank in. What the hell were you doing? Sure, you’d wanted to save Hoseok, and the vampires had been nothing but nice to you, challenging your perception of them, but one split second decision had shackled you to them forever. All your grand ideas of using your newfound freedom to do something more normal with your life, or maybe travel… all gone in a second. You had to be here at the manor now.
Was this really okay? Being a blood bag for Hoseok? It wasn’t as bad as you’d thought, but that was because you’d been prepared to die today. Losing consciousness from blood loss definitely wasn’t great, and if this was going to happen frequently, your health was definitely going to suffer for it.
You were on the brink of spiraling into a panic when you heard a knock on the door.
“It’s open,” you called, not moving from your position to see who it was.
“Hey,” Namjoon said when he entered, standing in the entrance of the room.
“What is it?” you asked, lifting your head off the pillows to look at him. You shifted the hand that had been resting on your neck down to your stomach, but Namjoon had noticed it anyway.
“I went out and bought those brownies from that shop you like,” Namjoon said, holding up the paper bag.
That was sufficient to tempt you, and you sat up on the bed, crossing your legs. “Wow, what’s the occasion?” you asked, holding your hands out for the brownies.
Namjoon shrugged, handing them over. “You need to get your blood sugar levels up.”
“Right,” you said, scooching off the bed to sit on the floor. You weren’t about to get crumbs on your sheets. Namjoon came and sat down next to you, both of you leaning against the bed frame.
“How are you feeling?” he asked as you popped the box open, picking up the little plastic fork that came inside. Salted butterscotch, your favourite flavour.
“I feel a lot better now,” you said, half distracted watching the fork sink into the brownie. You popped it into your mouth and groaned in bliss. This one shop was open at odd hours of the night, and sometimes you used to pop by to grab a snack after your patrol when you’d had a particularly bad week, or when you were expecting your period.
“I can tell,” he responded drily, watching you savour the sweet treat. Despite his deadpan countenance, the fact that he’d managed to make you so happy made joy unfurl in his chest, suffusing him with warmth. “Jin-hyung told me that you finished all the yukgaejang.”
“Mhm,” you hummed around another mouthful of chocolatey goodness.
“I was talking about emotionally, though. A lot happened today. Are you okay with it?” he asked carefully, ducking slightly to get a better look at your face.
That statement stopped you in your tracks. You swallowed the mouthful of food, then laid the fork back into the box and put it on the ground carefully. Reaching up, you took the bottle of water on the bedside table that you were sure Jimin had left for you when he came back with Injeolmi.
You opened it and took a long, slow sip of water. Then another one, as you gathered your thoughts. When you couldn’t drink any more water or draw it out any longer, you bit your lip before speaking slowly and carefully. “I’ll learn to live with it,” you said, trying to tiptoe around it.
Namjoon frowned. “That doesn’t sound promising.”
You shrugged wearily. “What difference does it make? I made a commitment, and I have to see it through.” As you said it, you knew it was the right answer. You’d give up all the new dreams you’d been nurturing deep in your heart since you’d come to terms with your expulsion from the guild, and repay your life debt to the fullest.
Namjoon hummed. “Why do you seem unhappy, then?”
“I just…” You tried to choke back the sob, but your voice went high and weird, and you had to stop to compose yourself. “I’d been thinking about what I could do with my life, now that I’m no longer a hunter, you know? Maybe travel, or pick up new interests, or something. Normal things that normal people in their twenties do.”
“Well, you could still do that,” Namjoon said, bumping his shoulder against yours.
“How? I have to stay in the manor forever. I won’t be able to travel.” Your shoulders slumped, and you leaned slightly into Namjoon, unconsciously seeking his support.
“You know, we used to travel around the world all the time,” Namjoon said lightly. “So don’t rule it out yet. Things might change again.”
You were about to interrupt to question him, but he’d continued speaking. “And if you want to find new interests, I’m sure we can figure something out. Between the seven of us, our interests run the gamut.”
That made you crack a smile. “Really?”
“Really,” Namjoon confirmed, turning to look at you. You brought your knees into your chest and rested your cheekbone on the tops of them, facing him.
“You already know that Jin-hyung loves to cook. Yoongi-hyung likes music and I’m sure he’d be glad to teach you if you asked. Hoseok used to love dancing, although he hasn’t in… a good while.” Namjoon grimaced at the thought. “You’re always welcome in my library or garden, you know that. Jimin… well… you seem to have bonded well over your love for Injeolmi. Taehyung, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, is into fashion and has been dying to revamp your wardrobe.” He gave a little eye roll at that. “And Jungkook, that little muscle pig, is always working out.”
Blinking, you tried to digest all of that. To be frank, you’d never quite bothered to take note of the boys’ individual personalities and interests, something that made you feel a little ashamed now, since it was clear that they’d been so conscientious about you.
“I’ll think about it,” you finally said, shooting Namjoon a small smile. “Thank you.”
He smiled back at you, and feeling a lot better, you picked up the pastry box again.
-----------------------------
“Report.”
“The target was dispatched, sir.” Jennie stood at attention in front of the imposing desk in the Head’s office. Her toes twitched uneasily in her boots, but her gaze remained resolute and steady.
“Excellent. You are dismissed.” With that, Master Bang looked back down at the papers on his desk.
Bowing, Jennie turned to see herself out. It wasn’t until she was back in her room that she allowed herself to relax, sinking onto her knees right in front of her closed door. The bald-faced lie was the last favour she could do her ex-best friend. At least now Master Bang wouldn’t send anyone else after you… at least as long as you were smart enough to lay low.
The moment the door had shut behind Jennie, Master Bang stood up and made his way down the narrow flight of stairs in his bedroom.
“The plan is moving along smoothly, Sir. Y/n has thrown in her lot with the vampire brothers.” There was no way you were actually dead, as Jennie had reported. If you were, he would have a massacre on his hands, led by the born vampires holed up in the manor. Master Bang wondered idly if he should punish Jennie for her dishonesty, but then discarded the idea. He had much bigger fish to fry.
“When I take back my birthright, you will be by my side forever.”
The words warmed Master Bang’s heart. Forever was a long time – just long enough for him to spend with the love of his life.

The Dark Within Part 9
I’m sorry ahead of time but this one is looooong! But necessary fluffy comfort lol Also, Deimos is the villain caretaker mwahaha
*Edited
Masterlist1 Masterlist2 Part20
CW: Mentions of death and past torture and implied past conditioning mentioned
Maven glanced up into the round reflective mirror up in the corner ceiling holding the whole isle in the tiny little grocery section housed in the building of the gas station. She was the sidekick now, she had to steal the supplies while Deimos the "oh so mighty Villain" got to wait in the car probably laughing his ass off.
Which he was doing more of as the cold exterior he always held himself as was breaking away more and more each day as she got to know him more.
"For fuck's sake how am I gonna pull this off?" She muttered to herself as she spied the single cashier, the only other person in the store.
She didn't have enough pockets, her sweat pants thankfully having deep ones seeing as they were Deimos's, as she spotted the chinsy tourist clothing section.
She felt the energy of the cashier and was able to forge a connection between them remotely now that she was no longer weak and injured, picking up info about their routine and memories of the gas store's schedule to make sure other employee's weren't going to arrive anytime soon. She found she had an hour before anyone joined the cashier's shift.
She also perused more memories and found that the cashier was also a manager and therefore held the store's safe combination in their mind. This got her excited as gear was always so expensive. Especially the weapons and their maintenance.
Was she really going to steal money? Clothes and food was one thing, they were essential for survival in an unknown city Deimos was taking them too. But money? That's criminal-
Rolling her eyes at her own thoughts she grabbed one of the backpacks on the wall, Maven grabbed a couple changes of clothes and stuffed them into the pack and walked back to the single grocery isle.
She noticed the cashier watching her like a hawk and reach beneath the counter. Maven refocused the energetic connection she used earlier to read their memories and honed in on what they were doing presently, which was reaching beneath the counter for a gun which meant the store wasn’t hooked up to an alarm system.
Guess they don't have those remote police call button thingies and she almost laughed aloud. She paused in stuffing the pack with packaged food and cookies as a thought crossed her mind, memories of draining the civilian in order to have enough energy to heal coming back to her and she began to wonder if she could do that remotely with the cashier, as said cashier held the gun beneath the counter as the rightly assumed she was trouble.
Maven turned in the aisle, all her focus going into the energetic connection she forged between herself and the cashier in order to keep tabs on them and focused on pulling the energy instead of pushing like she usually did when she healed the other heroes.
Just like the civilian did though, the cashier began to scream and convulse as they dropped like a sack of potatoes. Maven immediately stopped and backed into the grocery isle as if to hide before peeking out and looked around. She could see Deimos's car still running and waiting out front, he was sitting back in the driver's seat done fueling up and watching her with a smirk through the windows.
Waiting.
Determined to prove she was going to be a good 'sidekick', and while the cashier twitched and tried to collect themselves on the floor behind the register, Maven threw all the food and juice boxes that could fit before grabbing another pack and doing the same.
Depositing both packs by the door, she walked back and grabbed a third pack before walking behind the counter and popping the register open and threw all the coins and cash into the pack.
The cashier looked up at her with their lip trembling and it brought her back to the days when that would be her, lying on the floor while Jason punished her for not healing him fast enough, or on the faces of her former teammates when they didn't perform well enough to fit his standards.
A standard that was now as dead as he was, thankfully enough.
She looked down into the cashier's fear filled eyes and ever trembling body as knelt down beside them, placing a hand on their arm as if to comfort them.
Instead she drew more energy through the physical connection. The cashier's body twitching and convulsing in rapid spasms as she drew more and more of their energy into herself. The cashier's screams choked themselves out as they were lost in the apparent pain she was causing them through the energetic draw.
Memories of their life flashed in her mind, glimpses of a small town routine with a bit of social play as she found the cashier dating not one, but two people. "My my, you like to play..." She murmured with a giggle as she watched the memories play out like a hallmark movie she used to watch with the others back in the Academy on the weekends when she would tag along with Jason and hang out with some of the students.
She felt a light smack on her left shoulder and she snapped back into present reality as she turned to see who dared to interrupt her power trip. She found the shadows underneath the shelving that housed the cigarettes and bottles of alcohol mimic the outlines of an arm with the fingers tapping the wrist of the other arm as if it held a watch.
She giggled an oops! and stood back up while making her way to the office as she shook her head to clear it of the cotton candy haze. And here she thought Deimos was this big scary, stoic Mr. Villain.
Taking the hint to hurry up, she wasted no time entering the code and emptying the safe of what little it held and filled the remainder of the pack up with candy bars and snack chips as she headed for the door and picked up the other two packs of clothes and food.
As she made her way out to the car she couldn't help but grin ear to ear as she plopped the packs into the backseat and giggle her way up to the passenger seat before giving Deimos an ear to ear smile.
He had an eyebrow raised as he took in her good mood and increase of energy thanks to the still twitching, but otherwise still alive cashier, with a smile of his own spreading across his face.
She mimicked tapping her wrist as if she held a watch, just like his shadow did in the gas store, and giggled when he barked out a laugh. Pulling back out onto the highway.
"I didn't take you for the giggly type." He teased when she had finally calmed down, though she still felt giddy from the power trip. "So...how was your first day of villainy? What did you all grab?"
He smirked a glance at her as she excitedly listed all the food and spare clothes, mentioning that she was unsure if the shirts she grabbed for him were going to fit or not as they all seemed on the small side. He tried not to laugh but the smile on his face did get noticeably wider as she told him one of the packs was indeed full of money and she felt she went full criminal instead of just the essentials as planned.
"Well well well..." He said finally, still smiling. "And why didn't you just stick with the essentials as planned? Why go for the whole store?" He questioned and
Maven's excitement quickly died as she instantly felt like she did something wrong. She quickly looked him over and began to assess him but didn't find anything to indicate if he was angry which left her confused and scared.
"Well?" He prompted as he to became confused by her sudden change.
"O-oh, um...well they were reaching for a gun so...I um...made a connection. Just to render them immobile while I grabbed the essentials!" She hastily explained with her hands in the air as Deimos continued to speed down the highway. "And...well when I did that...I saw they're memories and they spent a lot of time at the gas store place when they weren't...uhhh how do I put it nice, double dipping?" Deimos chortled another laugh as he tried to keep his serious composure as she continued explaining.
"So I saw the code for the safe and how to open the register...and money is technically an essential...cause you know...gear and weapons are pretty expensive and who knows what we'll need and when...and besides...you said 'steal the essentials'?" She ended it in a question just in case she was in trouble.
"Are you afraid of me?" Maven blinked at his question and he turned in the seat and faced her before turning back to the road. "Are you?" He prompted her again, expecting another explanation. He had obviously read her body language and how quickly she hid her giddiness when he first questioned her.
"No! Not you..."
"Keep going." He insisted when she didn't finish and a couple beats of silence passed. “I need to know Maven.”
"E-everytime I screwed up, the Team, my parents, Jason or whoever he chose to be that day if we were in public or not...i-if I screwed up and didn't know it right away...they questioned...well, everything I did...and why I did it...and then I would be punished later for it..."
Deimos nodded as if understanding what she saying. "I know we didn't get off to a great start, what with you being my prisoner and all." He sent a smirk her way which succeeded in disarming her and she felt herself relax a little bit more.
True, they met as enemies and he kidnap and torture her to get to her jerk of a Leader, his nemesis. But he did keep her safe when Jason came to kill her instead of rescue her.
Before she could get lost in thought, Deimos continued on.
"I just want you to know...you're on my team now. That makes you mine and you're safety is my priority. True, our line of work will put you in danger... But I need you to trust my calls in the field. To follow orders to the letter, no room for creative interpretations."
"So I did screw up..." She whispered, her body trembling with fear again as memories of pain washed over her from Team Hero. Maven was sure she was going to get it.
"No." He replied simply but firmly. "I am simply giving you your test results." He continued to smile, using it as a tool of reassurance as she seemed to respond to it best and gave another glance her way. "What did I say were 'essential' little one? Specifically?"
Maven frowned, absentmindedly rubbing her arms as she thought back. "You didn't."
"Exactly. And Team Hero? Jason?" He prompted and challenged at the same time though gently. He knew how fragile her confidence was and that this conversation was not going to be the last where she needed prompting to challenge her conditioning Team Hero put her through.
"They mostly didn't..."
"And when they did you performed to their exacting standards, yes?"
"...yes."
"You did great." Maven whipped her head up at the praise like a thirsty person left for days in a desert and Deimos felt his chest tighten in response though he kept it hidden. "I mean it, I said 'essentials' and you got them. The money was a good call too."
"You did great." He repeated when he found she had trouble processing the praise he was giving her. And she was having trouble, he could see it in her eyes no matter how passive her face was kept.
They continued the drive in silence for awhile before they entered an actual city, street and traffic lights lining the streets. The sun was beginning to sink and she knew the street lights would begin to turn on in a few short hours.
Storefronts passed by as Deimos continued to drive...who knows where, but she instinctively knew this was Supervillain's city now and that their drive would be over soon.
"You really think I did okay?" Maven asked, a part of her desperately seeking the reassurance. She still couldn’t believe it.
"No." Deimos gave her another reassuring smile as he pulled up to a large corporate building and parked in a designated spot that held his name. "I said, 'great' not 'okay'."
Maven let out a shaky breath and gave him a shy smile of thanks as she got the response she needed when she then noticed the term 'Sidekick' underneath Deimos's name on the sign designating the parking spot his. Ouch. She knew he was prideful man.
"Wow you really got chucked to Sidekick here." Deimos looked up and saw what she saw and outwardly groaned as he turned the car off.
"I can't believe she had time to put that there in the few hours since I called..." He trailed off as he brought out his phone again and began dialing. "I need to let her know we've arrived."
Maven simply nodded as he began talking on the phone. She was still scared of Supervillain if she was being honest. She was able to work through what Deimos had put her through, in a sense.
Actually she still hadn't processed through the torture sessions that were done in the beginning, the ones where Deimos was trying to get information from her on Team Hero. Weeks of torture and she shivered as those memories began to surface again too.
"She's ready for us." Maven snapped to attention with her spine straight as Deimos took in the fear in her eyes and how stiff she sat in the passenger seat. "I need you to wait here and watch our essentials so they don't get up and walk away."
"H-huh?"
"Stay in the car Maven. We have stolen goods after all." He wagged a finger with a smile as he climbed out of the car, hoping his playful banter at the end helped keep the air light between them as he realized it was too soon for her to interact with Supervillain.
He even noted her fear being directed at him and he had a sneaking suspicion they still had a lot of progress to make with each other on their team dynamic before being able to move forward, but it was also to soon for him to trust as he found himself leaving behind a shadow to lurk nearby in the car to watch her.
For the first time in a long time as a career criminal though, Deimos found himself regretting his use of interrogation methods.
"Is that so? You sure it isn't because your little hero is shaping up to be quite the eager villain herself?" Deimos looked up at the smiling voice of Supervillain as she stepped into the car garage to greet him in her corporate attire as CEO.
"Because she stole a small town gas store clean of it's money and half it's inventory?"
Supervillain laughed and gave him a light punch on the shoulder. "No dear! Because of the amount of joy she felt in pulling energy from the poor dear and most definitely civilian gas store manager who was cashiering today!" He inwardly groaned, but what Supervillain picked up from Maven's mind out in the street parking lot confirmed much of what he gathered from watching earlier.
"You were right to defy my orders and keep her my dear, she's turning out to be quite the little villainous student of yours." Supervillain circled him playfully like a bird of prey would it’s meal. "So, you willingly accepted my offer for help and stepped down to Sidekick while in my city? Color me surprised, you barely know this little hero and you're willing to push you're pride aside to...do what exactly?"
"You already know the answer, Supervillain." He answered tersely, almost annoyed with this game. Her off the charts telepathy meant she knew before he had even drove into the parking garage to park the damn car.
"Humor me Deimos." She was serious now as she stood in front of him and waited for him to speak.
"I need her to help me take down the Academy."
"Annnnd?" She pressed as he felt her forcibly invade his mind and pick apart his thoughts.
"And you, Supervillain." He sighed in defeat, shoulders hunching over.
"Nope! That was your original plan my dear." The smile was back on her face.
"And before you ask, what changed your plan was your little hero addition. The Deimos I knew never had his own team before, let alone plans for a partner. Sure you worked as a part of my team, but never one you ran." She stepped up close to him and took his face in her hands as she patted his cheek. "My little man is moving on up in the criminal world! Starting his very own team now! I'm glad you took my advice from my last visit."
"Now you're getting worked up with unnecessary excitement." He pulled her hands away from his face as Supervillain gave a laugh at his serious tone. "Aren't you worried about my plans to overthrow you?" He asked her incredulously.
She waved him off. "That's years from now, if you even get there. Besides, there's more than one way to become a Supervillain my dear. You know that!" She played with his sweatshirt string before taking a step back and tilted her head as she began to list as if it were his first day all over again.
"There's always mass destruction, murder sprees, city politic take overs, killing off Superheroes..."
"Yes I'm aware." He ground out through gritted teeth. Maybe that temper of Maven’s was rubbing off on him, he usually had a handle over his emotions.
"Aww....my dear Deimos...are you plotting to overthrow me as a way to reassure me that you're strong? That you're all grown up?" Deimos met her gaze and a force to be reckoned with lay in hers.
Despite her mothering exterior he knew deep down she would fight tooth and nail to keep her city, even from villains she considered family like him.
"You may not like what I do. I thought, other than thanking you, I would spare you." He answered truthfully and saw the steel force of her gaze soften a touch as she read the truth in his mind to confirm his words. "I'm the kind of villain that kills."
"My dear, I am a Supervillain. There's nothing you could do to that Academy, to those 'people' that would make me think any of less of you. I've killed too, I may swear off killing now but there was a time I was very much like you." Supervillain stepped aside and gestured to a black van parked in the corner of the parking garage of the building. "You will always be like a son to me Deimos. Family."
She opened the doors to the van and Deimos spied all sorts of gear for Maven and himself including, to his surprise, Maven's old Hero suit that must have been looted from the rubble. He pointed it out to Supervillain with a questioning brow.
"For the little dear. Once a Hero...typically always a Hero but I'm curious to see where she goes. The kind of name she will garner for herself on your newly fashioned Team Villain."
"Well...It's just her and I so we're not much of a team in the sense of the Heroes." Supervillain tutted him and closed the doors to the van before tossing him the keys.
"A team is still two people. Your just used to Academy rules my dear, which is why you already forgot our previous conversation about teams and partnerships. Besides, it's only been a couple days, not even a week! Give yourself some time with the little hero to break her into villainy a bit more. Get rid of those pesky hero morals...which I'm sure won't take much seeing as how she enjoyed that power trip with the civilian."
Supervillain paused in thought as they both made their way out of the parking garage. "She might even grow to be a trusty right hand for you, with how she follows your lead so easily and all... despite everything we did to her a few days ago and for weeks might I add...Such a curious little thing."
Deimos knew Supervillain was probing Maven’s mind as they conversed. That her mind invasion didn’t always come with pain and that it was a choice on her part, which is what made Supervillain’s telepathy and it’s range so dangerous.
Across the small alley drive that separated the parking garage and the parking lot where Maven sat watching them in the passenger seat, Deimos could see she was watching and reading the entire conversation he was having with Supervillain. And by Supervillain's light laugh, she knew too and he wondered how long she knew his little hero was trying to spy on them.
"I can't wait to see what she grows into my dear. I bet the Academy had their hands full keeping her busy enough to stay out of their private underpants! Lucky she wasn't used by the Academy for recon and political assassinations like the others who had similar abilities as hers.." She teased him playfully. Deimos couldn't help but smile in response though inwardly he was worried about the implications Supervillain was getting at.
Supervillain had to know that Maven wasn’t raised at the Academy like the others, she only visited with Jason and her parents. She was much to ignorant of the Academy for it to make sense any other way.
However much Maven followed orders though, he found she did them her own way whenever she could. Tried to maintain as much control as she can so long as it didn’t get her in trouble with those who exercised power over her.
"Food for thought..." Supervillain trailed aloud as she gave a playful wave of her fingers in Maven's direction before heading back to the parking garage for the elevators. Having followed along in Deimos’s mind as well.
Deimos couldn't help but absorb all the things he and Supervillain talked about. And the fact that she was on him and his plans to overthrow her the whole time and he never once kept his mind as protected as he had thought.
He began to wonder if taking her down really was necessary or not as he waved Maven over and she climbed out to collect the packs from the backseat. He also wondered how Maven was going to react when they pulled up to Supervillain's penthouse and how she was going to feel about that, let alone feel about staying there while he gathered himself and came up with a plan for Jason's leftover Team Hero and the Academy back in their home city.
They were going to want to avenge their Leader on principle alone, though he wondered how committed they were actually going to be as Maven carried the packs over to where he stood like his own little pack mule.
A frown on her face and a wide grin on his, he wondered for the first time in a long time what his next move was going to be going forward.
