Dare I present my evidence on why DainxSloane is peak enemies to lovers (they are literally giving the biggest FW Riorgail vibes???) :
“We’re trying to help,” Sloane argues, her cheeks flushing a second
before her narrowed gaze drops away from Dain.
“You can help by staying alive,” Dain counters,
Hello????
“You really going to mourn the loss of another Mairi?” Sloane fires
back at Dain.
“His death will always be on my head. Yours will not.” Dain’s tone
sharpens. “I don’t coddle first-years anymore, so train. Your. Signet.”
“Asshole,” she whispers, and the flush in her cheeks deepens.
I lift my brows at the look she shoots him, mostly because I can’t tell if
she wants to stab him in his seat or—
Dain really understanding the Xaden aesthetic rn
“What the fuck are you doing here?” Xaden calls up at Dain as he
dismounts, but my focus firmly locks over Brennan’s shoulder.
“Following her ass,” Dain replies, then winces at the crunch of bone coming from behind the wall of shadows Xaden holds in place with both hands. “She’s under my command, and Cath alerted me the second they crossed the wards against orders.” He aims that last part in Sloane’s direction.
Following the other into battle because they are reckless and going to get themself killed??? Hello???
“One hand on my wrist,” Dain says gently, like he’s talking to a skittish horse.
She stares at the gray handprint that scars his forearm. “I don’t want to do that. Become that.”
“You won’t.” He lifts his brows. “You can hate me later, but trust me now or she dies.”
Sloane wraps her fingers around Dain’s wrist. Her eyes flare, and she swallows. “Someone like you shouldn’t have this much power.”
Calming the other when using their signet???? Hello???
“Eyes here,” Dain says, and Sloane looks his way. “Pull from the excess you feel in me, and push to the deficit in him. You’re not a weapon of destruction. You’re not venin. You’re the artery power chooses to flow through. You’re life.”
Her brow knits, and Dain flinches. “I’m going to hurt you.”
“Gods, don’t I know it.” He nods. “But you’re not going to kill me, no matter how badly you want to. Now do it.”
Hello????
Dain rises to stand and offers his hand to Sloane.
“Fuck off, Aetos.” She rocks forward and up to her feet.
He pauses like he’s counting to three. “Get back across the wards, Mairi, and stay there.”
She turns on her heel and stalks toward Thoirt, lifting a middle finger.
Bodhi snorts.
“Fucking first-years,” Dain mutters as she mounts. “Riorson, I’ll meet you down there.” He heads toward Cath’s foreleg.
The last name usage??? Chef's kiss. I'm obsessed. I'm SAT and I'm waiting for food.

This was literally my introduction to fanfiction. It was either 2009 or 2010 when I found ff.net. It was the craziest thing ever, everthing above is not exaggerated at ALL.
Y’all are children. I was on ff.net in the 90s. It was chaos and fire. We read and wrote fic like it was the end times because networks were threatening legal action. The only A/Ns we had were:
Don’t like, don’t read.
No flames
Slashfic
I do not own these characters.
Vignette
Fanfiction.net was often the ONLY access Gen X had to queer content and often their intro to it.
love how gray is on full juvia brainrot in 100 yq like
gray immediately thought of juvia when they were talking abt romantic love
gray saying he wants to be confident & become a man who can protect juvia & go get her no matter what
gray noticing something might be wrong with juvia
juvia telling gray not to worry abt her but gray immediately thought how can he such thing
and of course gray saying that juvia is his power to live <3
gray telling juvia that he's glad she's safe
gray instantly turning to juvia once she called him & even told her that he's also glad to see her safe
gray's world of happiness that he dreamt of includes having a family with juvia & saying he wants to be there forever
but he can't do that because he prefers juvia's happiness (his present/ reality) over his (the world he dreamt of) 🥺
gray & juvia really came in a long way :( look how much they've developed :( seeing gray gradually becoming more outspoken for his love for juvia melts my heart i love them so much :(
thank you mashima for this (.... and now we wait for the gruvia kiss jk unless...😜)
