To whoever first wrote that Merlin is only clumsy because he has to make a conscious effort and always invest a lot of energy to not allowing his magic to be instinctive : Thank you! That concept always lives in my mind for free

Comment on fics, kudos fics, come back to a fic - read it again - go to kudos and realise you've already kudos then tell the author you are back once again

Do whatever you can to let the author know that you like what they wrote, even if it's a single emoji in that comment section ok?

LET THE AUTHOR KNOW YOU LOVE THEM because a lot of fic authors don't know that, and they need too. Let them know that they are loved

When the characters in the slow burn fanfic finally touch hands at 3am

(I’ve waited weeks for this moment)

publishing fics on ao3? more like rejection sensitivity therapy

[haryuusart]

fuck it, klance fic recs! I'm gonna make a list of recent fics I've read and highly recommend checking out 🫶🏼 will try to update this every time I read a new one (which is ... very often)

(updated may 15)

No Place is Home by @catsushinyakajima (AsterikaMay on ao3) - woof finally managed to read this! This is a very heavy, but very beautiful, fic about Lance coming back from Space and finding out his twin Rachel has died. Trigger warning (ofc), but this is such a beautiful fic, and we're just at the first two chapters! Can't wait to read the rest 💞

six by @jupiters-junipers (europa_report on ao3) - OF COURSE I'm gonna read the sequel of five. And OF COURSE I'm gonna enjoy it and cry and scream at 3 AM. And you should too! This is on-going, so I... I am scared of what will come. But I trust Europa, I know she will give us a beautiful ending (but not without pain first—)

The Craving by haryuusart - guys honestly this might be cheesy, but I'm just SO proud of this one lol AND technically, I did re-read this again before publishing its last chapter, sooo... anyway, thought some of you might be interested! Lance gets cursed by an alien Priestess during a visit to Hebeyl, the "Planet of Love".... chaos ensues

(apr 24)

five by @jupiters-junipers - GOD, europa strikes again. Just stayed up til 4 am to read this. It was like watching an even more intense hunger games honestly, I could NOT put it down for one sec 😭 Highly recommend if you enjoy team Voltron put in a blender (but tw for violence, psychological torture and trauma. LOTS of trauma)

Somewhere in outer space by eveningstar444 - still ongoing, I'm very interested in knowing what will happen!! Lance and Keith are lost in space while actively hating each other (what's new)

Skin still by fawnface - THE TENSIONNNN goddd loved this one!!! Keith confronts Lance after he kissed him. Sexual content, not super explicit! Very enjoyable + funny scene at the end

(apr 16)

who are you again? by @jilliancares - one of my favourite klance writers of all time recently started writing klance again and I couldn't be happier about it. I WAS STARVING!! Such a fun, short story about Lance having amnesia and finding out Keith's his boyfriend!

escape velocity by @existwound - i don't even know what to say about this. like, just read it. Post canon, nsfw content, incredible, so well written. I stayed up for several nights just because I couldn't stop reading it GOD existwound your brain........

take me by the hand by spaghetti_o - another short story, sooo cute. Lance and Keith dance together and then... Things happen (nsfw). I really enjoyed Keith's characterization in this one, a bit different from "the usual"!!

HIHIHIII

could i please request jealous killua ? like how do you think he’d act when jealous/you’re paying more attention to someone else and not him

im really indecisive so you can either write a fic or headcanons and ofc if your not interested nw !! thanks

HEYYYYYY

OK SO, JEALOUS KILLUA.....

i think we all know that canon killua isn't really "dramatic" about it (well, depending on what you consider "dramatic" or not), but he 10000% definitely feels it hard.

SOOOOOO this is how i see it:

jealous killua headcanons (aged up ~15–18)

killua's first reaction is internal. like. duh.

he notices immediately

like immediately. my man killua is too perceptive for his own good. the second your tone shifts, or as soon as you laugh a little harder at someone else than you normally do, he clocks that shit in before u can think ur next thought

he doesn’t pout or sulk right away, bc naturally, his instinct is to watch

if you’re paying more attention to someone else, his eyes are locked on you AND them

half calculating, half irritated (but tbh i see him more irritated)

he gets quietly competitive

listen, i don't see him as THAT much of a cunt, so i doubt he’s gonna interrupt, but he’ll start throwing himself into whatever you’re doing too

if you’re talking about something you’re interested in? he’ll jump in like, “yeah, i know about that too” or "oh, yeah, i did that once. it was fine, i guess"

LOLLLL HE DOES THE 'insert himself' MOVE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSEEEE

so like, he’ll casually slide into the conversation (and act like it’s nothing, but ts is 100% intentional) like, if you’re talking to someone new, suddenly he’s right there: “oh yeah, we did that before. remember, y/n?” meaning: “btw we have history. i was here first, bitch”

like, killua (obviously) starts dropping more sarcastic comments, kind of almost like he’s competing to get you to laugh at him instead

if the other bih makes a joke, he’ll mutter under his breath: “wow, hilarious” or sum salty shi like that and then immediately try to one-up them😭

he’s subtle around others, but more pissy when alone

alr, listen. killua’s not the type to make a big show of “hey, stop ignoring me” BUT when you’re alone after, it slips tf out.

like, usually in a half-sarcastic, half-serious tone like: “so, you and that guy were getting along, huh? must be nice having all that free time to talk to him instead of me” like damn girl get ur grown ass outta here ur doing WAYYYYY too much😭😭😭😭

it’s not needy per se, but like u can tell the attitude is there

he won’t go full insult mode, but he’ll throw more sly comments after saying the other stuff like:

“that guy talks a lot, doesn’t he?”

“is he always that close, or just with you?”

“if you like his jokes that much, maybe i should start acting like an idiot too”

body language

this little fuckass bitch goes quiet and leans back, w arms crossed and all, acting like he doesn’t care; but don't be fooled: he’s listening to everything

like, listen, if someone touches you too casually or whatever, his whole body stiffens tf out. and u lowk feel it too

also, also: killua won’t openly ask for attention, but you’ll notice him sticking closer than usual (shoulder brushing yours, hand grabbing your wrist casually, or walking in step with you, etc.)

if you move toward someone else, he mirrors your pace like a fuckin shadow

protectiveness disguised as annoyance

he’ll mask jealousy as “looking out for you”

like, if someone’s being too familiar, he’ll say sum later like : “that guy’s weird, you shouldn’t hang out with him. i don’t like his aura” (killua-esque translation: “i don’t like him near you”)

then, if he rly can’t get your attention back, he’ll go quiet like a ghost

think: arms crossed, eyes narrowed, letting the silence speak, etc.

he'd rather kill himself than admit he’s sulking unless you call him out. AND EVEN THEN HE'LL DENY IT ALL DEFENSIVE LIKE: “i’m not jealous, don’t flatter yourself”

like ok princess

if someone flirts with you

that’s the ONLY time his jealousy turns protective

like, if someone flirts with you in a normal, harmless way, i wouldn't say it's "fine," but killua notices. he then gets irritated, and positions himself closer to you😭

then, he’ll slide in mid-conversation, lean against you casually, or drop something that makes the other guy feel awkward asf

it’s territorial without being obvious #puppyguardingasf

BUTTTT if the person pushes it too far → that’s when the switch flips

he prolly won’t make a scene-scene, but his tone shifts and u all feel it.

it wouldn't be a barked “back off,” or whatever, and instead more like a “what do you think you’re doing?” typa tone

+ that stare that makes people piss their pants

we know our king, so we know he doesn’t like drawing attention

however, the intimidation is effective even if it's not quiet. it’s that sexy zoldyck energy he's got. the one where you can feel he means business without him needing to say much (gimme that dihhhh)

later, when it’s just you two

anyway, he’ll bring it up in his roundabout, in like this blunt-but-not-blunt way. e.g., “i don’t like when you talk to people like that”

LOL and if you tease him about being jealous, he’ll instantly deny it, but his ears and cheeks will go pink

underneath it all

killua’s jealousy doesn’t come from arrogance, BUT insecurity

don't get me wrong, he doesn’t think you’ll leave him, but part of him fears not being enough.

in the end, his jealousy isn’t sparky-sparky-kaboom, and instead it’s competitive, and clingy (but like... quietly, and "nonchalantly")

OKKKKK THATS IT LMK WHAT YALL THINKKKK
