Like a criminal undercover

by Nalou_BTS (Nalou)

Seokjin and Taehyung would do anything to help their brother Namjoon get his dream job. Anything. Including admittedly, unnecessarily dramatic stuff. Obviously, their friends Jimin and Hoseok want in. Obviously, Taehyung’s boyfriend Jungkook gets involved (more or less willingly). Obviously, Namjoon’s assistant Yoongi gets thrown into the “collateral damage” box. Obviously, Namjoon is fucking oblivious. Chaos ensues.

fictional kiss things that end me

being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward

one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other

pressing their foreheads together while kissing

speaking normally, then after the kiss their voice is hoarse

guys furrowing their brow when kissing passionately

staring at the other’s lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in

running their thumb over the other’s lips

when they lean forward a fraction as if to kiss the other person, then realize they shouldn’t and pull back to stop themselves

ripping the other away - “no we shouldn’t” - but when they kiss them again they moan and hold them close

one sliding their hand into the other’s hair slowly

their entire body freezing for a second when their love kisses them

accidentally being forced inches apart from each other, staring at each other’s lips, and just before they kiss someone pulls them back apart

when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more

a hoarse whisper “kiss me”

then licks their lips and says “please”

Also:

following the kiss with a series of kisses up to suckle an earlobe

following the kiss with a series of kisses down the neck

lightly running the very tip of the tongue around the outline of the lips with darting touches before actually kissing

raking a hand through the hair and getting a good handful to pull the other person closer (before or during the kiss)

starting with a kiss meant to be gentle, ending up in devout passion

softly moaning into the kiss

smiling just before or during the kiss

kissing tears away

kissing at laughlines/crow’s feet/frownlines

kissing pouty lips

lightly running fingers up along the neck while kissing

bringing up the hands to cup the other person’s face while kissing

slowly letting their fingers twine together while kissing softly

a huge smile on face(s) when the kiss ends

a gentle “i love you” whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss

…. I like fictional kisses, mk?

[goodguydotmp3]

also: •jawline kisses •when someone kisses the other person’s hand(s) •shoulder kisses •cheek kisses •when one person’s face is scrunched up, and the other one kisses their lips/nose/forehead •that thing where someone turns into an unexpected kiss, like there were turning around and the other person was just super close •accidental kisses that turn into a giggling fit •kissing eyelids to show reverence •top of head kisses •when one person says “move away if you don’t want this” and the other person moves in for the kiss •height difference kisses where one person has to bend do wn and the other is on their tippy toes •kisses where one person is sitting in the other’s lap •awkward fumbling kisses where their both so excited that it’s sloppy and teeth clash •kisses where a person punctuates every word with a chaste kiss •kisses meant to distract the other person from whatever they were intently doing •KISSES

[centrumlumina]

breaking the kiss to say something, staying so close that you’re murmuring into each other’s mouths

moving around while kissing, stumbling over things, pushing each other back against the wall/onto the bed

hands in each others’ hair

kissing so desperately that their whole body curves into the other person’s

throwing their arms around the other person, holding them close while they kiss

hands on the other person’s back, fingertips pressing under their top, drawing gentle circles against that small strip of bare skin that make them break the kiss with a gasp

lazy morning kisses before they’ve even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up

routine kisses where the other person presents their cheek/forehead for the hello/goodbye kiss without even looking up from what they’re doing

[swmpdg90]

[alexabooooo]

How many times have we fallen just to pick ourselves up the next day, the next week or the next month?

How many times did we curse ourselves for not being good enough at something but later got the hang of it and improved?

How many times did we stop praying for something and received it exactly when we least expected it?

How many times did we cry over something that we later found out was irrelevant to our lives?

How many times did we laugh at ourselves for being fooled that those things mattered when they just don’t?

How many times did we get it right and forgot?

How many times did we doubt but succeeded?

If you don’t have a number for any of those questions, then we don’t have a number for how many times we get chances too.

If your answer to any of those questions is “many”, then that’s the number of chances we have in the future too.

Many. A lot. Innumerable. Infinite even if you’re brave.

Keep trying.

[alexabooooo]

Don't be afraid of being alone. Don't be afraid of your mind.

Don't be afraid when it's full, don't be afraid when it's restless, don't be afraid when it's dark.

More than that, don't be afraid when it's calm, or empty or light.

Any of those times only mean that you are dynamic, fluid and impressionable, all of which we need to build our better selves.

I'm already preparing my reactions for Dark season 3

[teenagerposts]

sexual attraction: wow I wanna fuck that

romantic attraction: wow I wanna date that

sensual attraction: wow I wanna cuddle that

aesthetic attraction: wow that exists

[xoxolosergirl]

Never seen it explained like this. Thank you for finally putting in a way that people can understand. But may i just add:

Platonic attraction: wow i wanna befriend that

[fuzipenguin]

This is really simplistic and helpful. People who know I’m ace can get confused when I’m like ‘ oh, look at that actress, she’s gorgeous’. It’s aesthetic- her facial symmetry, makeup, shine of her hair… every thing comes together in a way that my mind notices and appreciates. I don’t want to fuck her, date her, or cuddle her… I just want to stare and be amazed that such a beautiful thing exists.

Cherik Moodboard - Star Trek AU

Charles Xavier considered his times as an active member as Starfleet counted. For the past years, authorities left him to his research and efforts to discover new life with the aid of Cerebro, a device designed to help him reach across galaxies with his telepathy. Charles may have been promoted to the position of Captain, but he never took up the challenge of commanding a ship but stuck to his research instead.

There was a captain Charles gladly served alongisde with, a captain he would have followed to the most faraway galaxies and further still, but that is all part of the past now.

The past may be catching up far too quickly, though. While using Cerebro one evening, Charles is enthusiastic as always when he picks up life signals from a species in the Beta Quadrant that was apparently not yet discovered despite the extensive cartographic work already done for that part of the galaxy. Yet, a terrible thing happens as this small planet and its inhabitants just completely vanishes. Charles is mortified, feeling all life fade on the planet from one moment to the next.

Charles calls upon the admirals and generals of the Starfleet immediately to report on this most tragic discovery. It is revealed to him that more and more reports about stars, exomoons and planets suddenly having disappeared off the maps turned up as secret intel. Though until now, none of the disappearing planets or moons were home to intelligent life, which is why the Starfleet decided not to make this public yet.

Since Charles is currently the only Starfleet member whose mutation allows him to use Cerebro to detect lifeforms so far away, he is tasked to investigate the situation with his crew, all of whom are mutants. Begrudgingly, Charles agrees to the mission, though under the condition that his crew is provided a guide through the territories not at all friendly towards the Federation.

The captain is surprised to learn that the guide is supposed to be the man he used to call his captain, Erik Lehnsherr. Erik was taken into custody after he and his Brotherhood stole a ship of the Federation. And now they have any intention to charge him for this crime as well as… many other.

To say that the two left on uneasy terms is likely an understatement. After a mission gone terribly wrong, Charles was left hospitalized for a long time, barely dodging becoming permanently paralyzed, whereas Erik resigned from Starfleet and built his own revolutionary group of mutants, fighting for mutants to be recognized by the Federation as a new, separate people.

Look what @nesnalou sent me! Aaahhh, it’s beautiful ❤️💚💜💙💛🧡 an actual Cherik book, with illustrations by two brilliant artists, @mikanskey and @varrix. It’s a great story - misunderstandings, angst, hurt/comfort, some lovely smut and, of course, a happy ending. Thank you Nalou, you lovely person. It’s a gorgeous gift and I’m really touched 😍🥰😘

[nesnalou]

@fullmetalcarer you are more than worthy 💙 you are awesome, and I'm so happy to know you 💙

[she-who-fights-and-writes]

Hey there! So I'm working on a story (fanfiction) but the plot is an idea that has already been used a few times. Not to the point that its been overused, but its definitely been seen before by most of the fandom. Do you have any advice on how to make my story stand out?

Subverting Common Fanfiction AUs and Plot Ideas

First of all, you should know that your story doesn’t have to stand out for it to be amazing!

Write what makes you happy, not what other people tell you to write. If you want to write a story that has all the tropes, totally do it if it’s what you want!

If you want it to be different, however, I suggest you write down all of the different elements of that trope and then change one aspect of it. 

What is the usual setting of the plot? What is the usual dilemma? How do the characters usually act?

Take one or more of those and completely change it up!

Coffee shop/bakery AU? 

Situational twist: The shop is a front for the mafia. 

Setting twist: The shop isn’t in a small town, but rather in a city with a rich culture like Paris, Venice, Tokyo, etc.

Genre twist: The shop is under investigation for a string of deaths connected to regular customers.

Character twist: It isn’t the barista/baker they fall in love with, but rather the person who mops the floors and cleans tables.

High School/College AU? 

Situational twist: They’re both disguised as students because they both wanted to investigate something. Neither one knows the other isn’t actually a student.

Setting twist: The school isn’t actually a normal school. It’s one of those academies where classic classroom settings are replaced with nature-oriented, hands-on lessons. 

Genre twist: The school is the first school to be opened on Mars.

Character twist: They’re not students. They’re janitors/secretaries

Hitman AU? 

Situational twist: They were hitmen hired to kill each other

Setting twist: It takes place in a sleepy town in the countryside, not in a big city. This, of course, is an issue: the town isn’t big enough for TWO hitmen for hire.

Genre twist: They’re in the Middle Ages

Character twist: The “hitmen” don’t actually kill people, just humiliate them or prank them in such a way that they skip town.

Royalty/Arranged Marriage AU? 

Situational twist: They aren’t the ones with the arranged marriage, but their friends/siblings are. They team up to try to ruin the wedding/stop the marriage.

Setting twist: It’s the modern day and the “royalty” has been reduced to worthless public figures. The “arranged marriage” isn’t to solidify political ties at all, but rather to gain publicity.

Genre twist: The “royalty” in question are actually rich families during the Gilded Age.

Character twist: One of the characters is asexual. They and the partner they have an arranged marriage with have to try to fake a pregnancy until they figure out something about the heir situation.

Pornstar/Stripper/Sex work AU? 

Situational twist: The pornstar/stripper/sex worker actually loves their job and has become rich off of it, much to the shock of their partner

Setting twist: It takes place in the forest/remote area. Seems like a weird place for business, right?

Genre twist: It takes place on a space outpost

Character twist: One of them is a secret agent on the side.

Wild West AU? 

Situational twist: There actually really isn’t much crime going around. As two sheriffs out of a job, they decide to MAKE some crime.

Setting twist: It takes place in the Rocky Mountains rather than in the typical desert “West.”

Genre twist: A murder mystery!

Character twist: Neither of them are sheriffs or bandits or outlaws. They run an outpost/tavern that sells gear/food to people heading for the gold rush.

Magic AU? 

Situational twist: Both of them act like they’re better magicians than they actually are and peer pressure each other into doing spells that neither of them really have much of a grasp on.

Setting twist: It takes place in a super cold place. Alaska, Russia, Antarctica, the North Pole, Canada– you name it.

Genre twist: The “magic” is actually highly developed science

Character twist: They themselves aren’t magicians, but their roommates are and they both get dragged to a seance gone wrong.

Historical AU? 

 Try an era other than Classical empires, the Victorian Era, and modern wars (I.e. World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, etc.)

Some cool new time periods/ancient places to try:

Civil War

Revolutionary War

Progressive Era

Colonial Era

Antebellum Period

Byzantine Empire

The Great Depression

The Roaring Twenties

The Renaissance

The Age of Discovery

Stone Age

The Viking Age

The Napoleonic Era

The Gilded Age

I know the list is a LOT longer but you get the gist. The key for a stand out story is that plot twist! Spice it up and feel free to make the trope into something that can be your own!

Hope this helped!

[rebelmeg]

And if all else fails? TWO CAKES!
