Writing romance means making yourself cringe and that's okay. let them have inside jokes. let them notice weird specific things about each other like "you always order hot chocolate even in summer." write the comfort scenes not just the drama. make a playlist of their songs and sob to it alone. know exactly how they'd argue about something dumb like whether cereal is a soup. chemistry isn't just kissing it's in the tiny moments. make it soft. make yourself feel sick with how cute it is.

writing smut depends on each person's writing style but i think there's something so gut-wrenchingly beautiful about smut when it's not very graphic and vivid. like., would this turn on a reader more?
"he kissed her, pulling her body closer to him."
or this?
"His lips felt so familiar it hurt her heart. His breathing had become more strained; his muscles tensed. She let herself sink into his embrace as his hands flattened against her spine. He drew her closer."
(Before proceeding further, these are all "in my opinion" what I think would make it better. Apply parts of the advice you like and neglect the aspects you do not agree with it. Once again I'm not saying you have to follow a certain type of style to write smut! Creative freedom exists for a reason!)
One may like either the top or the bottom one better, but it totally depends on your writing to make it work. Neither is bad, but the second example is more flattering, talking literally. (Here is me an year after writing this post, i think, either is amazing, depending on the context. the type of book you're writing, your writing style and preferences!)
express one's sensory feelings, and the readers will automatically know what's happening.
writing, "her walls clenched against him, her breath hitching with his every thrust" is better than writing, "she was about to cum".
(edit: once again, hi, it's me. Either is amazing depending on ur writing style. Everything at the end is about taste.)
here are some vocabulary you can introduce in your writing:
shivering, shuddering, curling up against one's body, squirming, squirting, touching, teasing, taunting, guiding, kneeling, begging, pining, pinching, grinding,
swallowing, panting, sucking in a sharp breath, thrusting, moving gently, gripped, biting, quivering,
nibbling, tugging, pressing, licking, flicking, sucking, panting, gritting, exhaling in short breaths,
wet kisses, brushing soft kisses across their body (yk where), licking, sucking, teasing, tracing, tickling, bucking hips, forcing one on their knees
holding hips, guiding the one on top, moving aimlessly, mindlessly, sounds they make turn insanely beautiful, sinful to listen to
some adverbs to use: desperately, hurriedly, knowingly, teasingly, tauntingly, aimlessly, shamelessly, breathlessly, passionately, delicately, hungrily
he sighed with pleasure
her skin flushed
he shuddered when her body moved against his
he planted kisses along her jawline
her lips turned red, messy, kissed and flushed.
his hands were on his hair, pulling him.
light touches traveled down his back
words were coiled at his throat, coming out as broken sobs, wanting more
he arched his back, his breath quivering
her legs parted, sinking into the other's body, encircling around their waist.
+ mention the position, how they're being moved around---are they face down, kneeling, or standing, or on top or on bottom--it's really helpful to give a clear picture.
+ use lustful talk, slow seduction, teasing touches, erratic breathing, give the readers all while also giving them nothing. make them yearn but DO NOT PROLONG IT.

A/N. this is the full letter from my "Just Because (I Love You)" fic! i highly suggest reading the fic i linked above for context ♡
I don't know how to start this. I've rewritten this opening seven times. You probably think I'm being dramatic. You'd be right.
But I needed to tell you things I can't say out loud. Things I've been thinking about for months. Things you deserve to hear.
So here it is. All of it. 520 reasons. Three weeks of my life. Countless crumpled papers. Too many nights where I sat at this kitchen table, pen in hand, wondering if I was doing too much or not enough.
I'm still not sure. But I'm doing it anyway.
Because you deserve to know. Because I need you to know. Because if I don't say it — if I don't write it down, if I don't give you something to hold — I'm terrified you'll forget. Terrified you'll wake up one day and realize you could do better. Terrified you'll see me for who I really am and decide I'm not worth the trouble.
I know that's stupid. I know you're not like that. But I'm scared anyway. That's what love does to me, apparently. It makes me scared. It makes me want to be better. It makes me want to give you every piece of myself, even the broken ones, even the ugly ones, even the ones I've been hiding from everyone else.
So I'm giving you this. All of it. The good, the bad, the messy, the ridiculous. 520 reasons why I love you. And if you read all of them — if you actually sit there and read every single one — I'll know you really do love me back.
Because who else would sit through 520 reasons?
Just you. Only you. Always you.
1. I love the way you roll your eyes when I call you "shorty" — but you're still the tallest thing in the room to me. You always have been.
2. I love the way you laugh at your own jokes before you even finish telling them. Like you can't wait to find yourself funny.
3. I love the way you squint at your phone when you're reading something small. You look like a very grumpy kitten and I want to kiss your nose every single time.
4. I love that you found my keys in the refrigerator once and just... accepted it. Like that was normal behavior for me. Like you'd already decided I was worth the chaos.
5. I love the way you say my name when you're tired — slow, soft, like you're drawing out the syllables like a secret. Sa-to-ru. Like it's something you're savoring.
6. I love that you steal my hoodies and then act like you don't know what I'm talking about when I ask where they went. I know where they went. They went to you. That's where I want them.
7. I love the way you hum when you're cooking — off-key, completely unbothered, like you're the only person in the world. I stand in the doorway and listen. You don't even know.
8. I love that you brought back coffee beans from Kyoto and told me they were for "special occasions." I use them every day. They remind me of you.
9. I love that you never let me get away with my bullshit. You call me out, every single time, and I pretend to hate it. I don't hate it. I love that you see through me.
10. I love that you also never make me feel bad for having bullshit in the first place. You just... sit with it. With me.
11. I love the way you look at me when you think I'm not paying attention. Like I'm a surprise. Like you still can't quite believe I'm real. I feel the same way about you.
12. I love that you're the only person who's ever made me feel like I'm enough. Not because I'm the strongest. Not because I can save people. Just because I'm me.
13. I love the way you defend me when I'm not there to defend myself. You don't even know I've heard you do it. You tell people I'm not cold. You tell them I'm soft. You're right.
14. I love that you don't flinch when I take off my blindfold. Most people can't even look at me without squinting. But you just... you see me.
15. I love that you see me. The real me. The one I hide from everyone else.
16. I love the way you talk to yourself when you think I'm not listening. Full conversations. Multiple voices. It's unhinged and I adore every second of it.
17. I love that you remember things I told you once, years ago. Things I'd forgotten I'd said. You hold them like they matter.
18. I love the way you bite your lip when you're concentrating. You don't even know you're doing it. I have to physically stop myself from kissing you every time.
19. I love that you're the only person who's ever made me feel like I can just be Satoru. Not Gojo. Not the strongest. Just... me.
20. I love that you look good in the morning. Stupidly good. It's actually unfair to the rest of us.
21. I love the way you steal the last bite of whatever I'm eating and act like you didn't. I always save it for you anyway. You know that. I know you know.
22. I love that you never ask me to be the strongest. You just ask me to be present.
23. I love the way you say "we" instead of "I." Like you've already decided I'm part of your future. I am. I want to be.
24. I love that you make me believe in a future. I didn't use to.
25. I love the way you push your hair back when you're frustrated. Like you're physically trying to push the frustration away.
26. I love that you forgive me. Over and over. Even when I don't deserve it.
27. I love that you stay. Even when I'm difficult. Even when I'm distant. Even when I don't know how to say what I need. You stay.
28. I love the way you say "come here" when all you want is a hug. You don't make me guess. You just tell me. You trust me enough to tell me.
29. I love the way you look at me when I come home. Like you were waiting. Like you always were.
30. I love that you make home feel like a person. Like you.
31. I love that you make me feel safe. Safer than I've ever felt in my entire life.
32. I love that you cry at movies. I love that you try to hide it. I love that you always fail.
33. I love the way you sing in the shower — badly, loudly, without shame. I stand outside the door and listen. You don't know that either.
34. I love that you know every word to every song on the playlist I made you. I made it because I noticed you singing them. I notice everything.
35. I love that you noticed me noticing.
36. I love the way you hold my hand in crowded places. Like you're claiming me. Like I'm yours. I am.
37. I love that you're not afraid to claim me. Most people are. You never have been.
38. I love the way you say "I love you" like it's easy. Like it's just a fact. Like the sky is blue and water is wet and you love me.
39. I love that you also don't say it when you don't mean it. You're honest with me in a way no one else has ever been.
40. I love the way you scrunch your nose when you're confused. It makes me want to kiss it.
41. I love that you make terrible puns and then act like they're genius. They're not. I love them anyway.
42. I love the way you defend strangers. People you don't even know. You can't stand injustice. It's the most beautiful thing about you.
43. I love that you fight for people who can't fight for themselves.
44. I love the way you look at me when I'm being vulnerable. Like it's not weakness. Like it's strength.
45. I love that you make me brave. You don't even know you do it.
46. I love the way you reach for me in your sleep. Even unconscious, you want me close.
47. I love the way you looked at me when you thought I wasn't paying attention. Like I was already enough. Just me.
48. I love that you let me hold you. That you trust me with your body. Your heart. Your everything.
49. I love the way you talk about your dreams like they're real. You make me believe they are.
50. I love that you include me in those dreams. Like you can't imagine a version without me. I can't imagine one without you either.
51. I love the way you make everyday things feel special. Grocery shopping. Folding laundry. Sitting in silence.
52. I love that you never take me for granted. Even when I'm being impossible.
53. I love the way you say my name when you're happy.
54. I love the way you say my name when you're mad.

57. I love that you text me good night. Even when we're in the same room.
58. I love that you text me random things in between. Pictures of dogs. Complaints about your day. Things that made you think of me.
59. I keep all of them.
60. I love the way you eat your favorite food like it's the first time you've ever had it. Like you're discovering joy all over again.
61. I love that you share it with me anyway. Even when you want to hoard it.
62. I love that you never make me feel like I'm competing with anyone. You make me feel like I've already won.
63. I love the way you smile in your sleep. I wonder what you're dreaming about. I hope it's me.
64. I love that you don't try to fix me. You just... stay. In the dark with me.
65. I love that you're not afraid of my darkness. You sit in it. You hold my hand through it.
66. I love that you make me believe I deserve good things. Because you're a good thing. And you chose me.
67. I love the way you kiss my forehead. Like it's the most natural thing in the world.
68. I love that you don't judge me for needing reassurance. You give it freely. Without me having to ask.
69. I love that you make me feel seen. Not just looked at. Seen.
70. I love that you know me better than anyone. And you love me anyway. Because of it.
71. I love the way you whisper things to me in the dark. Things you wouldn't say in the light. I hold them close. I keep them safe.
72. I love that you trust me with those things.
73. I love that you trust me. Completely. Impossibly.
74. I love the way you tell me when I'm wrong. But you say it gently. Like you're protecting me from myself.
75. I love that you don't punish me for making mistakes. You help me fix them.
76. I love that you stand beside me. Not behind me. Not in front of me. Beside me.
77. I love the way you look at me from across the room. Like I'm the only person in it.
78. I love the way you saved the last bite for me. You think I don't notice. I notice everything.
79. I love that you make me feel like the center of your world. You probably don't even know you do it.

82. I love the way you smile when you see me after a long day. Like I'm the best part of it. You are the best part of mine.

203. I love that you don't flinch when I take off my blindfold. Most people can't even look at me without squinting, but you just — you see me. Even when I'm not trying to be seen.
204. I love that you see me. Even when I'm not trying to be seen.
205. I love the way you looked at me that Tuesday morning. Making coffee. Humming off-key. And I stood in the doorway and thought: oh.
206. I love that oh changed everything.
207. I love that you didn't even know it happened.
208. I love that I'll never forget it.
209. I love the way you make the world feel smaller and safer just by existing in it.
210. I love that you exist.
211. I love that you exist in my world.
212. I love that you exist for me.
213. I love that you get me.
214. I love that you get me in a way no one else ever has.
215. I love that you get me and you still stay.
216. I love that you get me and you still love me.
217. I love the way you squinted at your phone that one time. When you were reading something that made you smile. You didn't know I was watching.
218. I was always watching.
219. I love the way you forgot your keys and found them in the refrigerator. Like your brain was too full of other things to remember where you put them. Like you were thinking about me.
220. I love that you were probably thinking about me.
221. I love the way you said my name when you were tired. Drawing out the syllables like a secret. Sa-to-ru. Like I was something precious.
222. I love that you made my name sound like a secret.
223. I love that you made my name sound like a home.
224. I love that you made my name sound like something worth saying.
225. I love the way you looked at me when you thought I wasn't paying attention. Like I didn't need to perform or dazzle or be the strongest sorcerer alive.
226. I love that you made me feel like I was already enough.
227. I love that you made me feel like regular Satoru was enough.
228. I love that you made me feel like regular Satoru was worth loving.
229. I love that you were right.
230. I love that you're always right.
231. I love the way you don't let me get away with my bullshit. You see through me. Every time. And you call me out. And I pretend to hate it.
232. I love that I don't actually hate it.
233. I love that I love it.
234. I love that I love you.
235. I love the way you save the last bite for me. You think I don't notice. I notice everything.
236. I love that you share your food with me. Even when you want to hoard it. Even when you're hungry. Even when you don't have to.
237. I love that you're generous with me.
238. I love that you're generous with everyone.
239. I love your kindness. The way you defend strangers. The way you fight for people who can't fight for themselves.
240. I love your stubbornness. The way you refuse to let me pay for everything even though I could buy the building. The way you insist on being equal.
241. I love that you're equal to me. In every way that matters.
242. I love the way you bit your lip when you were concentrating. Writing something. Reading something. Thinking about something. You didn't know I was watching.
243. I was always watching.
244. I love the way you pushed your hair back when you were frustrated. Like you were trying to push the frustration away. Like you were trying to be patient with yourself.
245. I love that you're patient with yourself. Even when you don't think you are.
246. I love that you're patient with me.
247. I love that you're patient with me in a way I've never been patient with myself.
248. I love the way you made me want to be better. Not for the world. Not for the mission. For you.
249. I love that you made me want to be better.
250. I love that you made me believe I could be better.
251. I love that you made me believe I deserved to be better.
252. I love the way you looked at me when I told you about the scar on my hip. The one I never told anyone about. The one you kissed without asking for the story.
253. I love that you didn't ask for the story.
254. I love that you just accepted it. Accepted me.
255. I love that you accepted all of me.
256. I love the way you made me feel like I didn't have to explain myself to you. Like you already understood.
257. I love that you already understood.
258. I love that you always understand.
259. I love the way you make me feel safe. Safer than I've ever felt in my entire life.
260. I love that you make me feel like I'm not alone.
261. I love that you make me feel like I'm not alone even when I am.
262. I love that you make me feel like I'm not alone even when I feel like I am.
263. I love the way you reach for me. Even when I'm unreachable. Even when I feel like I am.
264. I love that you always reach for me.
265. I love that you always find me.
266. I love that you always bring me back.
267. I love the way you stay. Even when I'm difficult. Even when I'm distant. Even when I don't know how to say what I need.
268. I love that you stay.
269. I love that you always stay.
270. I love the way you make me feel like I'm worth staying for.
271. I love that you make me feel like I'm worth staying for.
272. I love that you make me feel like I'm worth fighting for.

274. I love the way you look at me like I'm not just the strongest.
275. I love that you stay. Even when I'm difficult. Even when I'm distant. Even when I don't know how to say what I need. You stay.
276. I love that you look at me like I'm just Satoru.
277. I love that you look at me like I'm just Satoru and that's enough.
278. I love that you look at me like I'm just Satoru and that's everything.

288. I love that you're the only person who's ever beaten me at rock-paper-scissors.
289. I love that you're the only person who's ever beaten me at rock-paper-scissors. I let you win, obviously, but still. It counts. (I sulked for an hour after. Don't tell anyone.)

519. I love that we're in love.
520. Because if I get a thousand versions of this life, I'd look for you in every single one.
Okay. There they are. 520 reasons. I told you it was excessive.
I know this is ridiculous. I know this is excessive. I know you're probably rolling your eyes right now, and I can already hear you saying "Satoru, you didn't have to do all this."
But I wanted to. I needed to.
Because words have never been my strength. Not the kind that matter. Not the kind that make people feel seen. I can talk circles around anyone, perform confidence like a second skin, but when it comes to the things that live in my chest like living things — I choke. I perform. I deflect.
I don't want to deflect with you. I want you to see all of me. Even the parts I'm scared to show.
So I made you flowers that wouldn't wilt. I gathered the things you wanted but wouldn't give yourself. I wrote down every reason I could think of — and then I kept going. And going. And going. Until my hand cramped and my eyes burned and the sun came up and I was still writing.
Because I couldn't stop. Because every time I thought I was done, I thought of something else. Another reason. Another memory. Another piece of you I wanted to hold onto.
You probably don't realize how much I notice. You probably don't realize that I've been paying attention since the very beginning. The way you laugh when you're really surprised. The way you hum when you're thinking. The way you look at me when you think I'm not looking.
I notice everything. I notice everything about you.
And I love everything about you.
That's not an exaggeration. That's not me being dramatic. That's just the truth. I love you. All of you. Every single part. The parts you love. The parts you hate. The parts you hide. The parts you don't even know exist.
I love you.
Not because you're perfect. Not because you make my life easier. Not because you're the best thing that's ever happened to me — though you are, you are, you are.
I love you because you're you. Because you see me. Because you stay. Because loving you has made me into someone I actually want to be.
I love you because you're the first person who ever made me feel like I could just be Satoru. Not Gojo. Not the strongest. Not the one everyone needs. Just me. Regular Satoru, who leaves his socks on the floor and sings off-key in the shower and can't cook anything that doesn't come with instructions on the back of a box.
You make me feel like regular Satoru is enough.
That's everything.
So here it is. All of it. Every reason I could think of. And if I missed any — and I know I did, because there aren't enough words in the world to capture everything you are to me — I'll write them down later. I'll keep writing. I'll never stop.
Because you're worth it. You're worth all of it. You're worth everything.
I know I don't say it enough. I know I hide behind jokes and smirks and the mask I've been wearing for so long I almost forgot it wasn't my real face. But with you, I want to take it off. I want you to see the real me. The messy, broken, terrified, hopeful me.
The me that loves you.
The me that can't imagine a life without you.
The me that would cross universes for you. Tear down worlds for you. Do anything for you. Anything. Everything.
I mean that. I mean all of it.
So if you ever forget — if you ever doubt — if you ever wonder if I really love you — come back to this letter. Read it again. Read it a hundred times. I don't care. I want you to know.
I want you to always know.
520 is "I love you" in Chinese internet slang. Wǒ ài nǐ. Very romantic. Very me. But it's also more than that. It's 520 reasons. It's three weeks of my life. It's every piece of my heart, scattered across pages, waiting for you to put them back together.
I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
I hope you know how much you mean to me.
I hope you never, ever forget.
I love you.
Full stop. No conditions, no asterisks, no fine print.
Just you. Just me. Just this.
Forever.
— Satoru ♡

This is usually where one would say ‘please credit me’ but actually please don’t. Shout out to my sister @jillyisabean she did the calligraphy for it and was the one that made me watch rgu so really she’s to blame for this.

A/N: this was way too personal...
The gentle rustling of the trees in the gardens of the Xianzhou Luofu provided a soothing ambiance as you sat beside Jing Yuan, your fingers absentmindedly tracing the embroidery on your sleeve. His eyes observed you with quiet concern, the usual playful glint dimmed as he noticed your distant gaze.
“You’ve been quiet today, my love,” he mused, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. “What troubles you?”
You hesitated, fingers curling into the fabric of your robe. “Jing Yuan… do you ever think I’m—too much?”
His brows furrowed. “Too much?”
You swallowed hard, your insecurities rising like a tide. “Too big. Too different from what others expect. I see the way people look at us… at me.”
Jing Yuan sighed, shaking his head before gently pulling you into his arms, his warmth a comforting contrast to your doubts. “My dear, if only you could see yourself through my eyes. You are radiant, strong, and utterly captivating.” He pressed a kiss to your temple. “Their stares mean nothing to me. I chose you—not them. And I will continue to choose you, in this life and the next.”
His words settled deep in your heart, replacing the self-doubt with something far sweeter. You allowed yourself to melt into his embrace, knowing that with Jing Yuan, you would always be loved as you were.
Agenti was polishing his armor when he noticed you sitting quietly across from him, your fingers fidgeting with the edge of your sleeve. The usual light in your eyes was missing, and it troubled him.
Setting his gauntlet aside, he reached for your hand, his warm fingers lacing with yours. “What weighs on your heart, dearest?”
You bit your lip, debating whether to speak. “Argenti… do you really think I embody beauty?”
His brows knitted in confusion before softening with understanding. “You doubt my words?”
“I just… don’t look like the people who usually walk the Path of Beauty,” you admitted, voice barely above a whisper. “I worry that I—don’t fit.”
Argenti was silent for only a moment before he took both your hands, bringing them to his lips. “Beauty is not limited to a single form, my love. You are the very essence of it—not just in appearance, but in the kindness of your heart, the strength of your spirit, and the warmth you bring to my world.”
He placed a hand over your heart. “If I am a knight of Beauty, then you are my guiding star. I would be lost without you.”
Boothill had never been one for flowery words, but you knew he saw everything. Which is why, when you stood in front of the mirror, adjusting your clothes with a frown, he leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, eyes sharp with something unreadable.
Tears welled in your eyes at his unwavering devotion, and in that moment, you knew—Argenti had never once seen you as anything but beautiful.
“What’s eatin’ at ya?” he asked, tilting his hat back.
You sighed, hesitating. “I just… I don’t always feel confident, Boot. I know I’m not small or delicate, and sometimes, I wonder if—”
Before you could finish, he was in front of you, his metallic fingers tilting your chin up. His eyes locked onto yours, serious and unwavering.
“Darlin’, I don’t give a darn what anyone else thinks,” he said, his voice rough but sincere. “You’re mine. You got a fire in you that makes me burn brighter. Every inch of you is somethin’ I wanna hold, protect, and cherish.”
A smirk tugged at his lips, his sharp teeth glinting. “Besides, makes it a fudge lot easier to keep you close when there’s more of ya to love.”
You let out a choked laugh, swatting at his chest, and he pulled you into a tight embrace, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “Ain’t nobody out there like you, sugar. And I wouldn’t want ‘em if they were.”
Boothill never wasted words on things he didn’t mean—and that made them all the more powerful.
