* kiss kiss *

#105: Use the words fireworks, kiss and midnight in your next story.

#351: "I could kiss you right now!" "You're very welcome to do it."

#399: "Kiss me or kill me, but make up your mind right now."

#412: "One kiss before we die?" "You can get the kiss when we survive, so move!"

#447: Kissing in the rain sounds romantic until one of them ends up with pneumonia.

#488: "You kissed me." "You kissed me back." "And I'm not here to apologize."

#490: "I would appreciate it, if you would kiss me right now."

#555: "If you don't kiss me, right now…" "Then what?" "Then I will have to do it myself."

#577: "Are you going to hit me if I kiss you?" "I might if you don't."

#670: The kiss cam definitely had it in for her.

#832: "Why do I feel like that dog gets more kisses than me?"

#875: "When did you find out?" "When you kissed me, probably."

#978: She was not the type of person to back down from a dare. And everything he did was daring her to kiss him.

#1002: "I can't stop thinking about kissing you." "Then do it. Get it out of your head."

#1005: "Would you kiss me for 100€?" "Sorry, but I don't have any cash on me right now." "No, I mean I would give you 100€ to kiss me." "Why would you give me money to do something I would pay money to do?"

#1008: "It was just a kiss." "I know. But does it have to be just that?"

#1010: "Let's not worry about the future. Let's just take this one kiss at a time." "I like how that sounds."

#1016: All their kisses so far had been full of anger. Too rough, too desperate. This one was their first kiss that was soft, without urgency.

#1061: "I have wanted to kiss you every time I've seen you smile." "Then why haven't you yet?"

#1080: "I can't stop thinking about kissing you." "And what are you going to do about that?"

#1087: She wanted it all. The lazy mornings in bed, the fight over which movie to watch, the bumping into each other in their small kitchen. The disagreements and the tears and the kisses and their love. For once she wanted to be selfish, and she wanted to have it all.

#1122: "Well, I did kiss you back, didn't I?"

#1128: "You really love me? This is not a prank, right? Because then I would have to punch you and I actually really want to kiss you."

#1266: "Why is your stupid face just so kissable?"

#1303: "You almost kissed me." "And you sound disappointed that I didn't."

WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!

[lazywickedpumpkin]

[anliafail]

Do you think you'll tell him when you get back? I don't know. Maybe.

Florence Cassell (Joséphine Jobert) and Darlene Curtis (Ginny Holder) in DEATH IN PARADISE | 13.07 (2024)

Florence & Neville's 💔 goodbye.

Death In Paradise ep 11x04

[bonobochick]

Honestly, the way she looked at Neville after she kissed him should've told Florence then & there she'd also fallen for Neville as he'd fallen for her. Sadly, Florence didn't realize it then and it took her two years to do so but at least she finally did and they got a HEA at the end of S13. 😍

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.

shoutout to AO3 authors who write 100k fics for free while juggling mental illness, academic burnout, 3 jobs, and a deep-rooted need to fix fictional people.

[acriel]

Ao3: Dear, I'm going to a medical appointment on Friday, could you take care of the children?

Tumblr: Of course, my lovely. How long? One hour, two hours?

Ao3 : Actually... Probably most of the day. The doctor estimated it at 20 hours.

Tumblr: 20 HOURS?!!!

Ao3: It could be less! But, yes. 20 hours give or take.

Tumblr: Must you ?

Ao3: Would you rather have me falling ill and collapsing?

Tumblr: Of course not! But 20 hours... What am I supposed to do with the kids all this time?

Ao3: I don't know, juggling maybe? It seems to be very en vogue nowadays.

[p3arlescent-rose]

Tumblr: You're back already my love.

Ao3: *Blushing* well I didn't want to tell you I'd be back too early or I might've disappointed the kids.

Tumblr: They'll be happy to see you dear.

Ao3: *Being stampeded by said children* Yes, yes they definitely seemed to miss me.

Tumblr: *Watching, amused* They really don't like it when you leave. They've spent all 11 hours and 21 minutes crying to me about it.

Ao3: Well I needed to get my collection tags worked on some time, you must understand they've really been getting on my nerves dear.

Tumblr: Of course my Love.

Ao3: Now come along children, story time.

Quick tips for writing kisses

⇰ the pause. THE PAUSE. like “are we doing this? oh god we’re doing this.”

⇰ looking at each other’s mouths like it’s a life-or-death decision

⇰ someone whispering “can I?” or “just once” before going for it and RUINING ME EMOTIONALLY

⇰ hands. gripping shirts. cupping faces. hovering like “do I touch?? I WANNA TOUCH”

⇰ breath hitching?? yes. shakiness?? absolutely.

⇰ that stupid moment where one of them pulls back a few inches like “wait are you sure” and the other just goes for it again

⇰ kissing like they’re scared it’ll be the last time

⇰ kissing like they’ve been waiting ten goddamn years

⇰ teeth clashing awkwardly and both laughing about it but STILL FEELING IT

⇰ one of them freezing for a second mid-kiss because the feelings just hit

⇰ the post-kiss moment of “uh. so. yeah.” where neither knows what the hell just happened

⇰ OR the post-kiss forehead touch. destroy me.

On writing sexual tension

⊹ standing too close. like just barely not touching. why are their shoulders breathing on each other??

⊹ conversations that sound normal but feel like foreplay. “pass the salt” has never been so loaded.

⊹ one of them says something flirty and the other freezes for 0.2 seconds like “oh.”

⊹ eyes dropping to lips and then—back up. with effort.

⊹ holding eye contact just a little too long. like... are they gonna kiss or duel??

⊹ unintentional physical contact that lasts one second too long and now they’re both broken

⊹ a hand on the small of the back. that’s it. that’s the tweet.

⊹ tension so thick that other characters start noticing like “hey are you two okay?” (they are not)

⊹ “accidental” sleepovers. “oh no there’s only one bed.” yeah. suuuure.

⊹ biting back a smile. biting back a moan. biting anything really.

⊹ one of them walks away and the other has to physically restrain themselves from watching the hips

⊹ lots of sighing. frustrated sighs. horny sighs. “i want to kiss you but I’m emotionally unavailable” sighs.
