Ruling the CENTRALL

Absolute perfection 🤩

"I think if I gave you my heart, you would treat it tenderly."

"I will court you, with all the grace and courtesy that you deserve."

"You see? He has forgiven me for the small matter of the whip. I have forgiven him for the small matter of killing my brother. All hail the alliance."

"To gain everything and lose everything in the space of a moment. That is the fate of all princes destined for the throne."

"There was a man I was supposed to meet. He's got all these ideas about honour and fair play, and he tries to keep me from doing the wrong thing. But he's not here right now. Unfortunately for you."

"The ache of loss didn't make sense, because Laurent had never been his."

"There was a warmth in his chest whenever he looked at Laurent. He didn't look often for that reason."

"Damen thought that if Laurent was holding his hand, he must be dying."

TAEJIN AU where

KSJ, the college’s golden boy—admired, kind, and seemingly unattainable—has spent his entire campus life hiding one truth: his heart already belongs to KTH, his childhood sweetheart who’s three years younger. While KSJ quietly turns down every confession, their relationship remains a carefully guarded secret, known only to family and a few close friends—until KTH finally joins the same college.

At the chaotic freshers’ party, when a girl boldly crosses KSJ’s boundaries, KTH makes an impulsive choice—ignoring status, rules, and curious eyes—he walks up and sits on KSJ’s lap, claiming his place without hesitation. What starts as a moment of jealousy turns into a quiet declaration: he’s done hiding.

TAEJIN AU where

National team captain KSJ is never late- except when his secret boyfriend, artist KTH, insists on covering his back with Hello Kitty peel-off tattoos before practice.

That night, KSJ scores the winning goal—and in his signature jersey removal, accidentally reveals it all to the world.

"He's going to worry" is such an underrated moment for showing that Shane knows Ilya's in deep. They haven't taken the leap yet, skirting the edges of whether they're going to do this. But still you have to tell Ilya that Shane's safe, he'll worry.

And woah, does he worry.

[shillanov]

people have been theorizing that the reason why ilya looked so fuckdrunk in cottageland is because our buddy shane let the man hit it raw for the first time. and i need y’all to listen up.

we know that our man ilya rozanov is a gentleman in bed and a man of consent. asks shane “what do you want to do” because he knows it’s shane's first hookup with a man. tells shane not to worry before he puts it in. keeps checking in with him the whole time. lets shane finish first.

so there is no way, no WAY that ilya would fuck shane bare without getting tested first. this man was so committed to only wanting shane that not only did he stop sleeping with other people, but he would have gone ahead and got tested. just in case shane was a sure thing, just in case he would have a SLIVER of the possibility that they could make love without a condom.

all before these two idiots even defined the relationship. even before they confessed their feelings at the cottage. goodness. these two were so obvious you could see it from the damn moon. they were in it for real from the get go

taejin AU where:

th thinks sj is straight, until the Kiss Cam proves jealousy louder than denial. One sign, one almost kiss, and sj kissing th in front of an entire stadium.

Prompt:

th goes to watch a live football match with his best friend jm, jm's boyfriend jk, and jk's stepbrother, sj.

jm and jk sit together in the front row. Behind them sit th and sj.

th has been crushing on sj for years, but sj is apparently straight. Every time th tries to talk to him, sj is too busy scanning the stands for pretty girls.

Then the Kiss Cam lands on them.

Calm as anything, th pulls out a small placard that reads:

"Would! But he's straight."

The entire stadium erupts in boos.

Someone sitting behind them offers to kiss th instead. th actually leans back -

And that's when sj snaps.

He grabs th by the hair and kisses him hard, right there on the big screen.

Jealousy makes confessions louder than words.

sj pulls th close and kisses him in front of thousands, turning a simple football match into an unexpected confession that neither of them can take back.

Ilya: my hands are freezing!

Shane: *holds hand* better?
