can't believe the plot of leverage is literally 'man gets hired to be a project manager for Crime and then is forcefully adopted by the employees he doesn't want'

Isekai but the teenage boy wakes up to find himself sporadically occupying the body of a little old lady who appears to be the protagonist of a series of cozy murder mysteries where everyone in her quaint seaside town keeps getting violently and thematically killed.

Whilst wearing the guise of retired widow Mrs. Butterwell, Hideki must use all of his knowledge of genre and structure to try and prevent these murders before they can happen, because quite frankly that seems easier than actually solving the murders (he's not great at puzzles). He's been spending a lot of time talking to people around town to try and solve their various crises just to cover his bases too. It's really opened his eyes to the importance of community.

nuh uh @sunderwight this doesn’t get lost in the tags

wangxian fic: The mortifying ordeal of being super attracted to the man you could be married to (but aren’t)

The mortifying ordeal of being super attracted to the man you could be married to (but aren’t) by relenafanel

Wei Wuxian hadn’t been avoiding Lan Wangji for years, but he hadn’t been not-avoiding Lan Wangji either. There was something awful and awkward about seeing your intended spouse after turning them down that Wei Wuxian just didn’t want to deal with. It helped that he went away for university, and that Lan Wangji went away for university, and they happened to both go to different countries. Wei Wuxian liked to think they both wanted to get as far away from the situation as possible. (the situation being each other) So why, then, does Wei Wuxian’s heart skip a beat every time he sees Lan Wangji? And why is adult Lan Wangji so hot? It’s not fair that they could be married and instead Wei Wuxian is awkwardly pining for his former betrothed, a boy he once publicly broke it off with without regret.

The first chapter of my MDZS Big Bang fic is up. I'll do a more formal post for it later that has proper tagging etc. Currently, the artist I was working with has pulled out so they're looking for a pinch hitter for the fic. You'll get a more detailed post that includes collaborator info once I know those details 😂 but for now you can enjoy chapter 1!

❤️‍🔥 they take a fancy walk; wwx realizes they're going to have to reveal their relationship to their families, which is objectively worse than to their friends

❤️‍🔥 i'm joking it's not that hot

❤️‍🔥 lwj reveals something we all knew and isn't a super secret, but wwx is SHOCKED.

❤️‍🔥 wwx decides it's time to make up for publicly breaking off their proposal by publicly breaking on their proposal.

Some of my fav Giles moments are the ones where the people around him start to realize he’s not a nice man, he’s a dangerous man who chooses to be kind

[aklir]

He′s my man

And I love him like nobody else can...

Please feel free to share the petty reasons you think wangji would not like jgy because they sound hilarious

a) Lan Wangji is The Baby. Brother is paying Quite A Lot Of Attention to someone who is 1) not him 2) suspiciously younger-brother shaped 3) oh it's not like that well still

b) Jin Guangyao's whole thing is being polite and ingratiating in a way that most people find very pleasant but I think Wangji Would Not. do not try to make me like you. i already don't. you're just doing this to suck up to xichen.

c) he is not only a Jin (sus) he actively strove to become a Jin. he could have not had everyone know he was Jin Guangshan's son, and not had to spend time being with and showing respect for Jin Guangshan, but he did it, on purpose. filial piety is one thing but At What Cost.

d) learning lots of different techniques when you could just obsessively perfect and memorize one technique? i mean..... sure......... if that's what works for you.............

e) stop making small gestures for my comfort when i'm forced to exist in a social space in your presence i do not like you

[lansplaining]

several taggers have pointed out the key CQL addition of f) stop flirt-bowing in front of my salad
