THANK YOU ALL so much for sticking around and being so kind and fun and silly with me! i've learned a lot and had a great time writing all my silly fics but a combination of things (mostly irl stuff) means i think i need to retire from writing.
i am so, sooo grateful that you've given me a chance to share my work with you, and i will hold all of the memories here close to my heart!!
this is under the cut bc i don't wanna clog the dash. i've been feeling weird about writing for a while lately, and guilty about not writing! and i hate that. lol. there's a lot that goes into it, but i can't let my hobby that i do for fun turn into something i feel guilty about.
anyway, you may or may not notice me floating around tumblr again, but in a much smaller capacity. i can't dedicate as much time to the community here unfortunately, and so i'll be laying low online and doing my best to stay afloat irl! i've been really slow and hesitant about following people again bc i feel like i have nothing to offer LOL but please don't take it personally if i don't reach out! irl is seriously just crushing me to the dirt daily. it really is a "me" thing and not a "you" thing. i will be thinking of my friends from here fondly!!
if i do end up writing anything in the future, i'll still be posting on ao3!

written for @fittsysart HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
"Well, Captain, why don't we just ask her ourselves?"
"Shut up! You don't get to come to my base and bust into my favorite officer's workspace! Bowl Cuts are banned, remember?"
"Oh? Your favorite officer, hm? Funny, Captain Narumi, since she's my girlfriend, and she said I could visit her anytime I want."
The familiar voices pause right outside your door and you roll your eyes, still hunched over your drawing tablet. Your boyfriend's voice comes through again — "Thanks for escortin' me to my girlfriend's office, Captain Narumi, but I can take it from here."
Narumi Gen gasps audibly. "I'm not getting dismissed by you."
"And were ya authorized to interrupt her while she's workin'?"
There's a short pause, and you wait, snickering quietly to yourself as you gaze blankly at your work. It's a new suit design, something that should be more comfortable and practical if you could just convince the directors to adopt it. Your own time as a Defense Force officer weighs heavily in the back of your mind whenever you work, and just because you've retired from active duty doesn't mean you've forgotten how it felt to wear the suit.
The silence stretches a bit longer and you strain to hear if they're arguing in whispers now, but abruptly the door slides open with a mechanical whirr and you straighten in your seat.
You wince.
Hoshina Soshiro is at your side in a few quick strides, his hand warm and comforting on your back. "I should come by more often," he murmurs, "so we can take breaks together and ya won't strain your back."
Your heart warms at his casual affection, the easy way he slips into your space and carefully considers you. "You're the Vice Captain, and not even for this division," you remind him, "you can't come over that often."
Soshiro sighs loudly. "Ah, yeah, I know, and that's why I was hopin' Captain Narumi would agree to lettin' ya transfer."
Gen snorts. "No way, Bowl Cut. She's the best designer around — and we only take the best in the First Division, so she belongs here."
You resist the urge to roll your eyes, but the compliment still settles beneath your skin and warms you. "What're you doing here, Captain? I thought I got your access revoked after you kept bothering me and the rest of my team."
The rest of your team is conspicuously absent, but that's because it's an absurdly early hour of the morning and they're all rightfully in bed.
Gen yawns hugely. He barely hides it with his hand. "I'm here 'cause Bowl Cut requested a visit to the base, and I was already awake so I'm just fulfilling my duties as Captain."
You squint at him, but it's true that he's usually awake when you are, staying up late into the night practicing and honing his skills even though he tells everyone he's gaming. It's one of the sillier accepted facts on the base — Captain Narumi will work hard behind the scenes, but he doesn't want anyone to know. Like it's cringe to try hard, or something.
"Now that your duties are fulfilled…" you say, hoping he'll get the hint. Gen snorts.
"I had one more thing," he says. You blink as he stalks forward, watching warily as he completely ignores your boyfriend standing right next to you in order to lean down and put his face close to yours. He turns his head slightly, so that you can see the dark circles beneath his eyes and the sharp line of his jaw.
"What the fuck are you doing?" you ask. Soshiro's hand presses a little more firmly into your back, but he doesn't do anything else.
"I'm letting you kiss me on the cheek," Gen says, like it should be obvious. "It's your birthday gift."
You can't help but laugh outright at that, even as embarrassment fizzles up your spine. "How is this my gift? It seems more like your gift, Captain Narumi."
Gen's lips curl into that signature kitty cat smirk that makes you want to punt him like a football. Before you can overthink it or wait for him to launch into a monologue about how he's Japan's gift to humanity and the miracle of Ariake, you lean forward and brush a kiss to his cheek.
Anything to get him out of your face.
Soshiro hums, and before you quite realize what's happening, he's hauled you up over his shoulder, careful of your cramped muscles and aching back. His hands have a firm grip on your legs, but as he straightens, he slides his hands a little further up, to the curve of your ass, until he's verging on the edge of touching you inappropriately in public.
"Alright, time for me to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday," he announces cheerfully. Gen straightens, too, looking dazed. "You should get some sleep, Captain Narumi. I'll take care of my girlfriend now."
There's an edge to the words that makes you shiver in his hold, but Soshiro just squeezes your legs reassuringly. He leaves before you can protest about abandoning your work, carrying you easily and casually through the sleepy halls until he reaches your room. As soon as your door slides shut, Soshiro sets you down gently on your feet.
You're a bit taller than the man, but that's never been a problem for him as he presses you into the wall for a kiss.
"Whoa, whoa — !"
"Happy birthday, honey," Soshiro mutters, cupping your face in his calloused hands. He leans in to kiss you again, warm and relentless and unforgiving, stealing your breath away and making you dizzy.
"Sorry I gave the captain a kiss on the cheek," you manage to gasp, sagging against the wall as he trails a hot path down to your neck. "I figured he wouldn't leave us alone unless —"
"I'm not a jealous man," Soshiro says bluntly, pulling back just enough to flick you lightly on the forehead. "I trust you. I know what you were doin'." He leans in until he's a breath away from kissing you again, hovering there as all of your nerve endings strain towards him.
"Soshiro —"
"But I am a man. And I'm happy to remind ya, sweetheart, just who you belong to."

in true fashion of "what if we loved these guys so much we gave ourselves a little homework about them" it was my absolute pleasure to organize this little hq x reader fic exchange! together we wrote over 100k words and i think that's beautiful.
my warmest thank yous to all participants (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ ) ♡ the love for your craft shows in every line and i adore every single one of you.
