Kisstember 2025 Week 1: Kissing under the Stars

It has been a HOT MINUTE since I've posted anything here on tumblr... so uh... HERE! Kisstember first attempt!

Week 1, Prompt: Kissing Under the Stars

Title: With Only the Stars to Witness Fandom: Detroit: Become Human Gavin x Female OC

Also posted on AO3: With Only the Stars to Witness - De_Kiwi - Detroit: Become Human (Video Game) [Archive of Our Own]

Gavin returning home to a hunter green truck in his driveway that he didn't own was normal. Somehow, he knew that license plate by heart when sometimes he had to look up his own. He didn’t even pull out his house key, opening the door without effort. “Hey, Vitae,” he called as he toed out of his shoes - a habit she had built in him as she made herself a regular placement in his house. “Did you cook?” He closed the cool dark outside.

“For me and the cat,” she called from his living room.

Gavin rolled his eyes, going straight to the microwave. “Love you, too.” He punched in buttons without checking, smirking at the covered plate rotating inside.

“You remember we’re stargazing tonight, right?”

Gavin blinked. “Huh?”

“You have an amazing sky view here!" Vitae gushed again as she stood on her knees in the couch to look at him. "No trees blocking, the streetlights aren’t too close. You said you would watch with me…”

Gavin held up his hands, a placating look on his face. “I can hear the pout in your voice, sugar. I’m gonna stare at the sky with you tonight. Promise.”

“Yay!” Vitae nuzzled Gavin’s cat in excitement, earning a “meow!” of protest even as the furball curled into her chest.

As soon as dark fell, Vitae was toting things outside to the back of her truck, unbothered by the looks from the owner of said things. Blankets, “They need to wash anyway!” Pillows, “You don’t even use these ones, hush!” and snacks, along with insect repellent.

Gavin came out to find Vitae cozied up on the bed of her truck. “Huh, look at you. I could sleep comfy out here.” She'd turned the space into a little campsite almost. She sat on layers of blankets with pillows piled to the back edge of the truck bed, the snacks easy to reach right smack in the middle. The space she'd left for him was obvious.

“Please don’t fall asleep right away,” Vitae begged as she watched him climb over the side.

Gavin settled into his assigned corner, laying out and putting his head in her lap with a grin. “I make no promises. You’re a really good pillow.”

Vitae shoved at him playfully. “Then get off and look up! The longer you look, the more stars become visible as your eyes get used to the darkness.”

“It’s easier for me to look up like this,” Gavin insisted, exaggerating his wiggles to get even more comfortable and pointing upwards. “I don’t gotta crick my neck.” “You don’t have to lay flat on me though. That's what the pillows are for.”

“True. But I want to.” He grinned up at her. “I can see the stars and your face. It’s perfect.”

There were those lips again. Vitae folded hers and looked up at the sky. She had been noticing them more and more recently. It was weird. She wanted to… do something about it. But that would be awkward, right? She couldn’t just… kiss him? They weren’t like that. They'd never discussed it. At best it was unspoken between them. A point of teasing from those around them.

She scanned his whole face, the dark eyes, the stubble, had his nose always looked that cute? 

He raised an eyebrow at her, sticking out his tongue. “Sup?”

She booped him on the nose, looking back out at the sky beyond the driveway. “The stars. Which is what we should be looking at.” They were supposed to be stargazing. This was her idea. 

“Pardon me if I get distracted from being stared at.” “I wasn’t staring-” “Right. You were observing, I’m sorry. Oh look, a shooting star!”

She looked up, knowing she would miss it but grateful from the change of topic.

Vitae found her gaze drawn to the lower section of Gavin’s face repeatedly as the night wore on. Eventually, he had gotten off of her and repositioned himself across from her in a corner. She hoped the darkness was enough to keep her from being too obvious. She turned to him, observing as he laid with his back to the truck window, eyes closed and arms folded over his chest. 

“Hey… Gavin?” She broached tentatively, voice low. Part of her hoped he didn’t hear her-

He made a gravelly sound of acknowledgement in his throat.

“Can I, uh, sorry if this is weird but I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently and um…” She worried her lip, looking down. Best to just spit it out. “Can I kiss you?” It was a quick squeak of a question she couldn’t believe she had actually voiced.

“Hn?” He sat up and turned to her, eyes open now.

“Only if you don’t mind!” she rushed out. “I kinda, I mean, it wouldn’t be my first kiss but it’s the first time I’ve wanted to initiate?”

Gavin shrugged. “Ok.”

“Ok?I- I mean on the lips, you know?”

He nodded with a half smirk tugging at his lips. “Yeah, I know. I’m cool with it.” Inside, he couldn’t be further away from merely ‘cool’ with it. They had been practically dating without the label in his eyes but he’d never wanted to make her uncomfortable. She never directly acknowledged their friends' teasing, though he'd voice his approval multiple times.

“Uh…ok,” Vitae sat back. "Now it feels awkward.”

He huffed with a little smile. “You’re overthinking it. This isn’t some big scene in one of your movies. Just do whatever you’re comfortable with. A peck, no tongue.”

“Tongue?!” She recoiled sharply, banging her elbow on the side of the truck. “Ow…”

He laughed, reaching out to rub her smarting joint. “You’re hopeless. Just know, you have my expressed consent to lay one on me whenever you feel like it. No biggie.”

“No biggie?” It had always seemed like such a huge deal, something deep and intimate between people who were super comfortable with each other, and he was being so nonchalant about it.

“It’s only an issue if you make it one.” He looked back at the sky, gaze trailing what was probably a satellite, if he remembered Vitae’s explanation correctly. “It doesn’t have to be this special, romantic thing. You like me, you wanna, I like you, I don’t mind.”

“Huh.” She sat back gently this time and leaned over against his shoulder, looking back up at the stars again. Even more were visible to her now, white dots speckling the dark blue like God flicking a thousand paintbrushes. She pushed her glasses up her nose. “Thanks for that.”

It felt weird to be thanked for what he considered common knowledge but nonetheless, “You’re welcome.” He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, rubbing her arm. “You really need to practice easing up on yourself.”

When Gavin looked down at Vitae again, she went for it. Popped up, pressed her lips against his for half a second then sat down. It happened so fast she would’ve questioned if she actually did it but for Gavin’s chuckle. 

“You are so cute,” he said, eyes alight.” “Did that sate your curiosity?”

“No,” she admitted. “I wanna do it again.”

He pulled her up to sit on his lap, a familiar position for them but a new angle. “Try again. Take your time. I’m not gonna explode.” At her look he tacked on, and neither will you.”

That got a smile out of her. “Ok, geez. I’m new at this.”

“You’re thinking again,” he chided her, pressing a kiss to her fluffy hair. “Just do it.”

She did, holding it a little longer. She yanked back in surprise when she felt his lips move.

“Sorry, sorry,” he grinned. “It came naturally. My bad.”

“I… didn’t mind,” she said slowly, equal parts assuring him and realizing herself, “I was surprised. But... I liked it. It felt… nice. I’d like to do it more often.”

“Glad to know I don’t turn you off.”

“Gavin!”

“I’m just saying. It would kinda suck to have you kiss me and then be repulsed at me kissing back.”

“Well,... I’m glad I’m not, either.” She looked up at the sky again. Thin gray clouds were drifting by now, making a quick trek across their little piece of the galaxy. “Is there such a thing as too much kissing? For you, I mean.”

Gavin raised an eyebrow. She liked it that much? Lucky him. “From you? I highly doubt it. If there is, you’ll probably take a while to even brush it with these tiny hands.” He laced their fingers and brought them to his lips.

Vitae grins. “Just as long as you don’t get annoyed at me doing my darndest to get there.” She kissed the corner of his mouth. 

He smiled, pursing his lips in chase as she pulled away again. “Am I allowed to kiss you, too, or is this a one-way street?”

“Well, that wouldn’t be fair…”

“Is consent implied or should I ask every time?”

She made a face at him, which he returned. She sighed. “Dubious as this may be, I trust your judgement.”

“I am both flattered and insulted.”

“You’re welcome.”

They looked back up at the stars, quiet, her head on his shoulder, his hand in her hair. They would probably need to have that talk sooner rather than later, but for now, with only the stars to witness, this was ok.

Thanks for reading! The aim is to show up for all four weeks. I'll try my best!

WHUMPTOBER 2025: PROMPTS LIST

Welcome to Whumptober 2025 — The Eighth Year!

WHUMPTOBER is a month-long, prompt-based creation CHALLENGE (think: Inktober, but whumpier). There are four prompts for each day of the month, giving 124 for you to play with! There is also a list of 18 alternative prompts that can be subbed in for any day to give participants as much creative freedom as possible.

All prompts are meant to serve as inspiration without being taken literally (e.g. you don’t have to include the exact wording of prompts into your work). Feel free to run rampant on interpretation. For example, if the prompt is “flame", you could create something with reference to a candle/campfire, your character could have suffered a burn, or the flame could be a reference to an ‘old flame’ - an old relationship. It’s truly down to you!

You can produce work in any media you choose, including but not limited to: writing, visual artwork, photo/video/audio edits, paper crafts and elaborate recommendation lists (not just a list of links). You can participate as much or as little as you want (i.e. you don’t have to do ALL the prompts if you don’t want to) and prompts can be used in any order. They are also free to use even after the event ends.

Please make sure to read the Event Info and FAQ carefully, as most of your questions will be answered there already. For everything else, you are welcome to come to our ask box or ask questions in our Discord server here.

Information on how to TAG is here.

This year’s AO3 Collection can be found here.

This year’s playlist can be found here.

The ‘Anatomy of a Whumptober Prompt’ post can be found here.

And our 'Resources for Writing Sensitive Topics’ post is here.

We’re very excited to see the community come together for yet another year of Whumptober! Go ham with the prompts, and support your fellow creators - we wish you all the best of luck, but most importantly: HAVE FUN!

Happy whumping,

Mods Vanne, Yenn, Kitty and Surro

Text versions of the prompts, including a google doc format, are posted below the cut!

[comfy-vember]

Hullo. Welcome to Comfy-vember.

2025 PROMPT LIST IS HERE!

Tumblr-wide tag search!

This is a fun writing challenge, to encourage creativity. There are no prizes but your own satisfaction, and the love of your readers. :)

No, I am not trying to usurp Comfortember (which I thought for sure was in September??) the already established writing event to follow up Whumptober. This is just an alternative, with a greater range of prompts, and prompt schedules.

So pertinent factoids for 2025:

Who: You can call me Rain, and this is open to anyone.

What: a writing event (but you can make art too if you want!) centered around gen (platonic) relationships and hurt/comfort (leaning into the comfort) scenes. Fanfic and original work welcome.

When: November

Where: anywhere you post writing! But this blog will only reblog writing or links from here on tumblr. An Ao3 collection will be made available.

Prompts: There are three levels of prompts to choose from, to help you set realistic goals for yourself, and hopefully let you participate without the guilt of not making every day!😘 There are Daily, Weekly, and a single Month prompt groups.

The Prompt of the Month consists of two words or phrases, a line of dialogue, and a song to draw inspiration from.

The 4 Weekly Prompts consist of two words or phrases, and a line of dialogue each.

The 30 Daily Prompts consist of a single word or phrase each.

You can use ANY of the prompts for the day/week, from one to all of them! You will notice some variety in the possibility for hurt vs comfort vs fluff in each prompt group/prompt. So you can pick whatever you're feeling, or use all of them in the progression of your work! Or if you want to continue some of those Whumptober fics with recovery and hugs and cuddles...👀

Works: can be any length, from five sentences, to ficlets, to a whole chapter fic/novel mashing all the prompts together! Both fanfic and original writing are welcome. They do not have to be written or posted in order, just make sure to tag which day/weeks prompts you're using.

Content: This is supposed to be centered around gen or platonic relationships (friends, siblings, parent-child, mentor-student, neighbours, soldiers, other familial bonds, a garbage truck driver and the kid who waves at him every day, etc. even people and their pets). Romantic relationships can be in the background, but I'm really looking for friends, family, and countrymen to take centre-stage here. If you are inspired to write something with a romantic pairing, go ahead, just don't tag it as comfy-vember. I would ask the writing be kept PG-13 or lower on the maturity scale. :) Or at least this blog will not reblog or recognize anything with explicit content.

***This post will be updated every time I make a new ExorJosh posting. 

What is #ExorJosh:

ExorJosh is an Until Dawn head canon/AU that I came up with that is more of a possible post-game scenario . It is continued after one of the canon ending where, Josh turns Wendigo. In this scenario, Josh gets captured by a team of private investigators that was put together by Josh’s rich parents who are desperate to save their last surviving child. Once he is captured, his parents put him through every possible medical treatments to ‘stabilize’ him thinking that he is suffering from some sort of a neurological illness in combination with an unknown viral infection that’s causing his physical deformity. This is because he already has a history of severe mental illness. However, when they run out of options with all the negative results, they resort to an exorcism. Not by a christian method but through a Native American method. They are able to come to this decision due to their high interest in, and past dealings with, Aboriginal culture(<-this is a canon) in combination with the word-by-word police report of Josh’s friends and from reading the dead-wendigo-hunter’s diary that was retrieved from the remains of the lodge basement.(by one of the investigators) While it’s not for sure whether the exorcism fully rid Josh of wendigo spirit, it appears to be a success and Josh regains his consciousness. However, he is extremely weak from the months of deterioration/treatments and the physical deformity is clearly evident around his mouth and right eyelid. He gets the basic treatments (skin-graft, etc) to re-construct his right eyelid and to close the wide gap on his left cheek but he refuses to get any more cosmetic surgeries out of the guilt of causing so much medical expenses to his parents. (Evident  from his in-game dialogue that Josh is not just a spoiled rich boy but financially conscious enough) Even after the exorcism, it takes a long time for Josh to recuperate physically and mentally and he has to stick to a specific diet and slew of medications.  Eventually, Josh’s mother contacts Chris and Chris is the first friend for Josh to re-unite with. Then, despite of Josh’s newly developed anxiety, Josh is able to re-unite with Sam as well with the support of Chris.
