you went on this stupid, island, reality show to win $100,000, which could've most definitely changed your life for the better. but instead, you got a delinquent meat-head who had... somehow, earned your heart faster than the cash. "how" and "why" is beyond you. but at least you could come up with a list of some semi-convincing reasons as to such...

When you applied/auditioned to be on the show, you didn't actually think they'd pick you. It was a stupid dare amongst friends back home! No way would they pick some random girl with no experience or even a resume from (home/town/city).
And then, they did๐.
Next thing you know, you're being flown out to Canada and then dropped off from a yacht on some random, deserted island. Just your luck to apply for a scammy and sketchy reality show rather than what you were promised...
And, to top it all off, your host might as well have been a sociopath, your chef, a psychopath, and you were now forced to spend your time with twenty-two other lunatic teenagers for eight weeks. Eight. Weeks. To be fully and completely clear, you did not want to be here.
How could this get any worse?
Duncan. That's how.
He irked you at first. No, you didn't hate him. He actually had his moments where you found him quite funny with a sarcastic quip he had said or entertaining with some random stunt he pulled.
But other than that...
"I'm not jumping. I miss the safe zone and get eaten alive by sharks, and then what?"
"Oh'ho, you're jumping, sweetheart. I'll be damned if you lose this challenge for us because you're not a strong swimmer."
"That's not what I said. And what're you gonna do? Make me?"
...you were firm on your dislike for him.
Not that the feelings weren't reciprocated, of course. Though he wasn't exactly opposed to eying any pretty girls he happened to come across, he didn't intend to date. He came to win $100,000, just like the rest of them. And though he had grown used to the way your attitude struck any and everyone who tried to manipulate you into doing something you didn't want to do, at least you weren't Courtney, stick shoved up your butt.
Onto the more headcanon-y portion of this list...
I feel like Duncan actually wouldn't be opposed to random hookups or anything like that. But, once he has specific eyes for someone, he treats things as if he's already bagged them (manifesting king๐ปโจ๏ธ). And in this case, them is you. He didn't get the hots right away, but after a couple of weeks or so of spending basically all of his time around you (being on the same team and all), he wasn't too surprised upon coming to terms with those feelings.
Not that you could exactly tell, with him running around calling you "sweetheart" and "angel-face" and whatever other petnames he could come up with on the fly. You figured it was just him being...well... Duncan! Not to mention, you weren't exactly all that fond of him.
Did he know that? Yes. Did he care? Ehh. You'd warm up. He'd actually make sure of it because even if the show didn't end with him either winning the money or getting you as a girlfriend, the least he'd accomplish is wooing you.
He's not gonna sacrifice his reputation for that, so he'd have to play it cool. And during the seventh challenge, an opportunity came to light; he'd help you concor your fear! Not only would it win your team the challenge, but it'd be a huge step into winning over your heart. With peering eyes (and cameras around), he was there to be your tough-love.
"Get over it, toots, it's just (your/fear)!!"
"Do not mess this up for us, or I'll guarantee you go home tonight."
"I've been in juvie with worse than this...!"
But, without any evidence to prove it besides your word and a blushing face, he was totally sweet on you.
"C'mere, sweetheart, it ain't that bad. You just need a little warming up to the idea, that's all~."
"The worst that could happen is you'll be called a chicken. It's not like you'll get voted off. Not while I'm here."
"Babe, you are entirely too cool to be skeezed out by (your/fear). We're gonna have to work on that, yeah?"
Him sling-shotting you through such emotions and behavior was intense. But not as much as the way it kept you hooked. And every time you would start to grow fed up, want nothing to do with him, even cuss him out...
Life (Chris McLean) would manage to thrust you two back together. Until, eventually, you got together. I mean, no official labels or anything yet, but god forbid another guy on either team just breathed sultry in your direction (coughCodyprobablycough). Or if you got hurt during a challenge. Or whenever anyone (butmostlikelyHeather) had it out for you.
And in those moments, I think Duncan wouldn't be as good as hiding his infatuation with you. Not that anyone actually had the gall to tease him for it. Besides, he had managed to make his admiration for you look cool. Always muttering a slick, "She wants me." to his guy friends, or smirking at any intimate reaction you'd give him in front of your peers.
All in all, he's a cocky shit. But he made it work in a charming way that you couldn't quite place, and made you wonder why you were even attracted to it/him at all.
And, surprisingly, he could be quite the gentlemen. Rough around the edges, sure, but see if you ever have to hold a door open for yourself or climb down from something without his hand being offered to you ever again.
He even makes sure to censor himself around you! Er- well, tries. If he deems a curse word too heavy for you to hear come flying out of his mouth, it goes a little something like this:
" ...So I rush 'im, right? And then can you believe the motherfucker-...! Sorry, babe. Can you believe this idiot actually tries to shank me?! Wild stuff, man..."
As if he's not already sitting around the campfire telling the most gorey juvie/jail story ever. But nope, the extra heavy cuss words are the stuff that's impolite for your ears๐โ๐ฝ.
#it'sthethoughtthatcountsโก.
OH!! And casual dominance? Definitely a thing in the relationship. Mainly from him, with a simple, "C'mere, doll." or a motion of the hand/finger over towards him. But let's not lie and say this dude isn't a sucker for the moments you boss him around...
"Duncan, go grab that for me, please?"
"I'm busy-"
"Now."
. . .
No further protest, your item retrieved and dropped into your hands with swiftness, and a light red dust on his face badly hidden under a scowl.
Things would get serious/official if one of you two got voted off of the island, though. If you got voted off, he'd be sure to give you the most profound goodbye he can in the very limited amount of time he has to actually say it. Make it very clear you're his girl, "...for anyone thinkin' about trying to make a move while I'm not around." And, he promises that if he wins, he's coming for you, and you'll run off together with the money. Cliche, but how could you say no?
If he gets voted off, he sticks on a brave face and basically threatens you to win lmao๐ญ. Think of it as very intense encouragement coming from a deep down place of love.
"Babe, you better win this whole shit, 'cuz I'm gonna be rooting for you back home. Need these losers to see that my girl is the shit."
I could probably go on forever, but I don't want to make this too long :')...

hello wuestion about shifting!
whats the method you found to work the most for you?
๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ญ๐ญ๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ก๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฐ๐๐ซ...
it wouldn't be right if I didn't (obvs lol), but unfortunately,,, none of them๐. I know, depressing, right?
but, in all seriousness, this isn't me saying that I've literally tried every single last method there is out there, but again, I like to be very transparent about these sorts of things,,,
they have all equally not worked lmfaooo๐น๐.
I've tried/done a lot of methods over time (I've been shifting for about 4-5 years now, but haven't shifted yet), and none of them have done anything for me whatsoever. I mean, to this day, I haven't even gotten any of what people call "symptoms" - which, I personally think are just signs your body is falling asleep, not actually shifting๐โ๐ฝ. I feel like shifting doesn't feel like anything, it kinda just,,, happens, yk? - so I can't really offer up anything that I would say is the "best" or what "works".
although (because again, I know this is kinda depressing and I don't want to, like, crush your hopes lmao), I feel like what's best for me is to try and stick to methods that revolve around sleeping, nighttime, no outside distractions or needs type of vibe. unfortunately, I live in an environment where there's a lot of negativity a lot of the time (mentally, emotionally, and physically) and I have no clear path or way out, it feels like, and my AuDHD does not at all help in the focus department๐๐ฅฒโ๐ฝ (I've never been able to mediate, lucid dream, none of that stuff, and I've accepted that), and the most I often experience is highly vivid dreams.
so, with that, I feel like my best attempts and my best interests lie in sleep methods, especially the ones where it's like "that point between awake and asleep" and "sleep paralysis",,, I slip into those states rather occasionally and have throughout my whole life, and I know how to trigger them, so rn, my intention has been set on mastering getting into and staying focused in those states so that I can then move onto shifting from those states, you know what I mean?
but hey, if anyone else has any advice for me or the asker here, (or any readings hehehe, I am currently practicing tarot myself, and I'm sure others are, too, so you're welcome to practice on me because I'd sure love some guidance right about now lmfao), definitely lay it on me, I'm open and happy to hear it.
and to you, my lovely person who dropped this question that I'm answering in my inbox, I apologize that I can't be of more assistance. I wish I had more of a straight-forward and profound answer, or that I could help you out in someway, but I'm pretty much in the same boat here when it comes to the whole "wtf should I do and wtf am I doing๐ญ??" part of it all lol.
toodles, and take care to all /แ ^ห^ใ~ !!

batman's cape (and any of the other batfam member's capes) are heated/can be microwaved :D.
...yeah, probably not the most original thought. surely someone has come up with this before, and hey, maybe it's even canon - but that doesn't really take away any of the ideas I have, so on we go anyways lmao.
I imagine that you, y/n, reader (lol idk-) is often found all wrapped up in bruce's cape (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S FRESH OUT OF THE WASH) and he'll be TEARING the manor apart looking for that shit because why would it be anywhere else except in the bat-cave, in his bat-suit vault, right there clipped onto the specific bat-suit he's choosing to wear for whatever mission he's finna go on, just to eventually find you on a couch somewhere above the bat-cave all rolled up like a worm in it with the glow of your phone emitting from underneath the fabric and your little giggles muffled by it because you're probably laughing at memes or something idk.
bruce is definitely the type to think it's silly and lowkey can't even blame you because it do be cold in the mansion, but he also refuses to drop the "I'm so hardcore and a brute and stone cold" act so he's yanking that shit offa' you and you're just BEWILDERED, suddenly exposed to the light and cold like, "๐ฎโ๏ธ๐ซจโ๏ธ" and before you can even process wtf happened, bruce is already whisking around the corner, gone and out of sight๐.
dick would also think it's silly, but lowkey actually be annoyed, though, and he'd make that KNOWN. like, sure, he'd initially be VERY stressed when he can't find the cape (even though it's not thay big of a deal but for some reason, he just doesn't feel "complete" without it๐ญ) but then he'd see this huge lump all wrapped up in it on a bed in one of the many rooms or something. at first, he'd think it's one of the handful of pets owned and living in the wayne estate, just to peel back the fabric and see YOU.
"...Hi๐..."
"...๐Why are- Nevermind. You do know that I need this, right?"
"I mean,,, you don't need it, you just-"
*YANK!!*
"NO, WAIT, IT'S COLD!!"
"THEN GET A BLANKET!!"
I'm sorry, but I feel like dick don't play 'bout his cape, and you're just either gonna have to find different ways to sneak it or just leave it tf alone๐ญโ๐ฝ. but when it's not currently in dire need by him, he'll happily return it to you and smile when you squeal and wrap yourself back up in and under it while it warms up.
BARBARA GETS IT FR. SHE GETS โจ๏ธ๐ฉทYOU๐ฉทโจ๏ธ. but also, she is attached to it in the way dick is, so don't be surprised if and when she needs it, she's taking it from you with zero mercy and under the excuse of, "I'm on duty tonight, I'm not showing up out of uniform lol." and you're just left there like "โน๏ธ...". but outside of those times, the both of you can be found very happily and contently under her cape as you watch horror movies or something and rambling about who knows what, a common interest lol.
and I'm pretty sure in some strains/universes or whatever of dc, she ends up becoming oracle because she's paralyzed or some shit, right?? I could totally be wrong, but if I'm not, I feel like in that case, she just GIVES it to you. she makes it a huge deal, too, she acts like she's passing along the magical ashes of a dead ancestor that grants you infinite knowledge and protection or some shit and has a whole speech prepared, just for her to hand you this neatly folded up cloth and you're just like, "...You're giving me your cape๐??" and she's like, "Ya๐โก." and you can't even be mad because ...
IT'S A HEATED CAPE like idk what else you could want from her like plzโ๐ฝ.
(*casually skips over Tim bc idk enough about him and if I mischaracterized him I'd have to delete this account and then me off of the face of this earth bc I refuse to be that bitch who doesn't know her shit๐*)
jason will see you with his cape, and whether you're awake or asleep, he'll loom over you menacingly until you sense his presence, and then not even give you the chance to give excuses before he's like, "I'm on watch tonight."
you don't dare protest lmao. and he isn't giving it back to you later on. it's one of those things that if you really want it, you gotta go get it. and then expect you won't have it for very long, so whatever you plan on doing with it, you better make the most of it๐ญโ๐ฝ. that's literally all I can say for him lmao.
DAMIAN (my fave) (^3^)/. I feel like he'd make it seem like SUCH an inconvenience for himself even though he doesn't actually care about the cape itself and if anything, finds it very sweet and endearing that you literally use it as a blanket because "it gets so warm" and "it smells like you" and "it's here when you're gone and I miss you". but, much like his father, he just HAS to keep up the, "I'm so stone cold and no nonsense and eternally vexed" facade, so if you're awake and you have it, he'll just hold out his hand expectingly and - like jason - you don't dare argue because you're just gonna lose๐ฅฒ.
but if he finds the cape and you're asleep with/under it, he'll actually let you keep it. like, he'll just leave it and either go about his superhero duties without the cape entirely, or he'll just use another one from a different suit. sure, it might possess different capabilities (no pun intended), or he might feel a little... off... without a cape, but he'd rather that than interrupt your comfortable state.
and you'll be so bent up about it when he returns, and you're like, "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TAKE IT๐ญ๐?!" and he's like, "you were obviously very comfortable, I didn't want to disturb you๐..........๐ซถ๐ผ."
so um.... yeah, I honeslty dk where all of that came from, but do with this info what you will.
byeeee /แ ^ฯ^ใ~ !!

the "one bed" trope will never not eat down, it's just a golden classic fr. ๐ปโจ๏ธtimelessโจ๏ธ๐ป.
Hi, I know itโs super cliche but ๏ฟผI was wondering if I could get a one bed๏ฟผ friends to lovers story with Jaime Reyes?
This request made me so happy lmao. I wrote so much for it. Sorry it's late!
Summary: we love one bed. We love a sprinkle of accidental confession. Warning: tired Jaime is clingy. Canon. A/N: I LOVE this lmao tysm
You and Jaime hadnโt been friends for very long when all of the Kord stuff happened, but you didnโt hesitate to offer letting him and his family stay at your apartment while their house was getting fixed. They didnโt end up taking you up on that, since Jenny also offered them their own apartment and theyโd rather take that then inconvenience you, but it was a little cramped in that apartment (not that it wouldnโt have been at yours). Jaime complained about it all the time. Especially about how Milagro had been relentlessly teasing and annoying him about stuff. He didnโt specify what. Anyway, thatโs how you found yourself on a Sunday evening opening the door to a kinda disheveled looking Jaime. โOh. Jaime. Whatโs up?โ You moved to the side, letting him enter your apartment. โUgh.โ He groaned. โI havenโt slept properly in ages. Between renovations, hero stuff and my family seemingly being more overbearing than usual, especially in a space so small I canโt escape them, it just. I canโt fucking sleep.โ He ranted and then ran a hand over his face and hair. You just chuckled as you closed the door and walked further into your apartment. โSo you came here to escape?โ You sat down on the couch and looked up at him, standing before you, hesitating for a second whether to sit down or what to do before deciding to do so. โYeahโ He breathed out. โI guess.โ You hummed, understandingly. โWell, my doors are always open for you.โ Turning towards the tv, you grabbed the remote from your coffee table. โWanna watch spiderman with me?โ Jaime sighed and then grinned, โsure.โ
He didnโt last 5 minutes.
You glanced over at him and noticed his closed eyes and deep relaxed breaths. Hesitant, you gave him a nudge, trying to wake him up. The couch, and the way he was sitting right now especially, would give him a sore back and neck if he continued sleeping like this. โJaime.โ You whisper-shouted. Another nudge, โJaime!โ. Groggily he murmured and tried to move out of the way so he could continue his sleep in peace. โCome on Jaime, go to bed.โ You tried pulling on his arm to get him to stand up, but he barely moved. Instead he pulled you down, so you landed half on top of him and he buried his head in your neck, while his arms closed around your waist holding you close. You froze and your brain simultaneously short-circuited and erupted into chaos. His breath was warm and even on your skin and his hands so soft on the little bit of exposed skin between your top and pants. He didnโt seem bothered by the position you two found yourselves in, hell, he probably didnโt even notice. You were pretty sure he was immediately and fully asleep again. Meanwhile your heart was still beating as if to escape your chest.
โJaime.โ You tried again after youโve had a while to compose yourself. โCome on, letโs get you to bed, itโll be more comfortable.โ No success. โKhaji-Da?โ Last resort. You heard groaning, and felt Jaime moving ever so slightly. โCome on now, letโs get you to bed. I promise you can continue sleeping in just a second.โ Carefully, you tried slipping out of his arms, standing up and holding your hands out in front of you to help him up. With a pout on his lips he looked at you through half-lidded eyes before taking your hands with an overly dramatic movement and you pulled him up rolling your eyes, laughing. You didnโt notice the way he smiled at that. One of his hands still in yours, you led him to your bedroom. โGo. Sleep.โ You lightly patted him on his back in a shoving way to get him to go to your bed. Standing in the doorway with your arms crossed you were observing if he was doing what youโre telling him to. He was well on his way when he stopped, as if a sudden thought occurred. โWhat about you?โ He turned around. His voice was raspy, still half-asleep. Your heart was racing again, and your face felt very hot suddenly. โWโฆโ you cleared your throat. โWhat about me?โ โArenโt you going to sleep?โ โOh. Iโll just sleep on the couch itโs fine. Plus, we didnโt really get that far with the movie, so I can just finish it.โ He didnโt seem to like that answer, by the way his brows furrowed and his pout came back. โIโm not stealing your bed and leaving you to sleep on your couch. Especially in your own apartment.โ โYou need sleep more than I do. Itโs fine. Really.โ You tried convincing him. A feeling of an old western stare down crept up on you. Like whoever blinked first, lost. โCome on Jaime, just go back to sleep.โ You plead, head slightly tilted and puppy-dog-eyes. His eyes narrowed. He was going to strike a deal. Or a compromise. โIโll only go to sleep if you go. And Iโll only sleep in your bed if you do. Wait that came out wrong.โ
โPffff.โ You burst out laughing. Ignoring how flustered his proposal made you. This man was gonna be the death of you some day. โYou sure?โ you asked jokingly. โFine, go to bed. Iโll turn off the tv.โ You sighed playfully defeated and turned around. Your heart was doing the racy thing again at the thought of sleeping in the same bed as Jaime. You groaned annoyed as you turned off the tv and lights and went back to the bedroom. For a second, you had considered staying in the living room and hoping heโd fallen back asleep, but he was stubborn and you knew that. There was no escape. And as predicted, he was sitting in your bed waiting, watching the door for you to come back. You noticed he was only wearing a t-shirt now, his sweater and pants on the floor next to him and it reminded you that you still had to change into your pajamas. Being around Jaime really saved you a lot of money on blush. You could tell he was watching you as you made your way over to your closet. If you wanted to, you could just go to the living room to change, or the bathroom. The question is, did you want to? Not really. You felt comfortable around Jaime, and you trusted him. And itโs not like you were about to get completely naked. And honestly, he probably might just look away anyway. So you took of your pants first, to put on some shorts, and then your top, to put on a flowy shirt. All the while your back was turned to your bed. You might have heard a โshut up Khajโ from behind you but you werenโt sure. Okay, maybe in hindsight it did make you feel a bit embarrassed and flustered to change in front of him. When you turned around, Jaime was staring at the wall in front of him very intently, and with a very red face. ย Pressing your lips together to contain your facial expression you made your way over to the other side of the bed. โHappy now?โ You asked as you sat down next to him, pulling the blanket on top of you. โuhuh.. hmm. Yeahโ He was still looking straight ahead and avoiding your eyes. โJaime.โ You called out softly. This made his head turn. โGo to sleep.โ You grinned. He only rolled his eyes in response and shook his head in mock-exasperation. But for some reason you couldnโt move your eyes, or stop your lips from smiling, and you kept looking at him. At his pretty, pretty face, with his soft, soft hair. His lips, that had been breathing into your neck just minutes earlier. His beautiful brown eyes that you found staring back at yours. In just a second, a tension had built up and the energy in the room completely changed. You licked your lips nervously.ย What now? Neither of you dared to move. You werenโt even sure if you were breathing at this point. You felt the urge to say something, but you didnโt know what. Your mind was wiped completely empty. Jaimeโs eyes were the first to flicker down to your lips.
And then his phone made a sound. You almost jumped apart, and he dizzily looked you up and down before turning around to grab his phone. His attention elsewhere and his eyes no longer on you, you remembered to breathe. Turning to face away from him, instead facing the wall he had been looking at so meticulously earlier you glid down so you were no longer sitting and let your covers almost swallow you whole. As if they could protect you from the fire you felt inside. You heard him setting his phone down again, and the rustling of the duvet when he laid down as well. You felt him looking at you. Did you dare look at him?
No.
โGood night, y/n.โ
Only then you glanced over at him. โGood night Jaime.โ You whispered, before looking back up at the ceiling.
By the sound of his breathing, he fell asleep soon after. Something you were, so very far away from at this moment. Your whole body was tense and your mind was going a mile a minute. You were acutely aware of his presence, his face just a couple inches to your side. There was no way you could calm down enough to fall asleep with him in your bed, next to you. You turned to face away from him, hoping itโd give you some sense of distance between you two. After some brainstorming you figured your best bet was to sneak out on to the couch once you were sure it wouldnโt wake him up. Well, thatโs what you wouldโve done, if you werenโt suddenly wrapped in Jaimeโs arms literal seconds before you would have tried sneaking out. โStay.โ He murmured sleepily, face buried in your back. โWh..โ slipped out of your mouth as you tensed up, caught off-guard. โKhaj.โ He answered your unspoken question, his hands around your waist. You had two choices. Give in, or not. You gave in.
Surprising how fast you can fall asleep when youโre in the arms of someone you l- When youโre in the arms of someone. Period.
You woke up still in his arms, and it made you feel all warm inside. Though, face-to-face now, with your face buried in his neck for a change. โMorning.โ His voice was hoarse, though it sounded liked he had been for a while already. You didnโt feel like talking yet, so you just wrapped your arms around him tighter and buried your face in his shoulders more. Suddenly shy. One of his hands moved from your back to stroke your hair. This, you thought, is a moment you wished you could stay in forever. โYou want some breakfast?โ Jaime asked. โmmhmโ you declined. โI only want to stay in bed with you.โ He chuckled at that and started playing with your hair, wrapping strands around his fingers. โAnd to think just a few hours ago you tried to sneak out.โ He teased. Your face scrunched up. โhmmhโ you mumbled, โwell, I changed my mind. Now you have to come over every night so I can fall asleep.โ You werenโt completely serious when you said it, but Jaime just replied with a โDeal.โ There was a content silence after this. He continued playing with your hair and you continued holding him. โDo you think trees get sad when their leaves fall off?โ This came completely unprompted and so sudden it made you laugh. โJaime what the fuck.โ You pulled away to look at him, amused. He looked at you so full of love your brain stuttered. โIโฆโ You trailed off. โNo. If theyโre capable of enough thought to be sad about it, I think they know the leaves will come back.โ โBut they wonโt be the same leaves.โ His fingers that were weaving through your hair before now began tracing invisible patterns on your skin. โDo you get sad when you get a haircut? I imagine itโs the same way.โ You replied sincerely. He seemed to think about it before his face scrunched up. โIโd be sad if I got a buzzcut yeah.โ You burst out laughing. After you calmed down you started running one of your hands through his hair. โIโd be sad if you got a buzzcut, too.โ But Iโd still love you.
โBut Iโd still love you.โ
You didnโt even notice you said it out loud, the thought itself stunned you and made your hand stop playing with his hair for a second before you managed to get it moving again. You completely forgot about your face, so the shock was still seared into it. Eyes wide, looking at your hand in his hair, focusing on it, as if combing through his hair was the most difficult thing to do, just so you didnโt have to look into his eyes.
โYou love me?โ
Your hands halted and your eyes met his. โWhat?โ
โYouโฆ love me?โ he repeated in the same soft and unbelieving voice, barely above a whisper.
โWhat?โ you felt like a broken record.
โYou said you would still love me.โ
โOh.โ
Oh.
In a way this situation was like the one yesterday, before his phone went off. Both of you staring at each other, not saying a word. But the energy was so different. He was waiting for you to say something, it seemed, to confirm or deny, but you didnโt know what to say. There are two wolves inside of you. So you stayed completely frozen instead. There was no phone โdingโ to save you this time. It was getting uncomfortable, neither of you saying anything. Your fight or flight instinct was begging for you to run. Instead, almost out of your control, your mouth opened, as if to say something. But then you remembered you had no idea what to say. โyes.โ Oh. I guess weโre going with that. This seemed to break you out of your spell, you turned around, out of his arms, out of the bed, you got up. โSorry.โ โWhat? Why are you apologizing?โ Jaime asked. Your back turned towards him you heard him move. Flight was kicking in, and you were well on your way out the bedroom when he managed to grab your arm and keep you from moving further away. โI love you!โ
You stood still. Then you turned around. โI love you too.โ Jaime said again, this time adding the โtooโ. โSo you donโt have to apologize.โ It was a little funny, if you were honest. The way he was half kneeling on your bed half standing on the floor, holding your wrist and telling you he loved you in just his shirt and underwear. โYou do?โ โYeah. Of course. Of course I do, how could I not?โ He said it so earnestly, it made you want to laugh because he was still in that weird position. โYou do.โ No longer a question. You stepped closer with a smile. โYou love me.โ Grinning now. โYou love me.โ He just repeated. Spiderman pointing meme. You nod. And then you kiss him.

Requested by SUGARDOSE ANON ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ก๐ฉท
๐ก๐ข, ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ :D !
what a cute name you have, I adore it !! anyway, yes, I most definitely can do Noah and/or Alejandro :). but unfortunately, I do not write for Heather :(. don't let that discourage you, though !
is there anything more specific you had in mind for me to write, or do you want me to just freeball it?
OMG OMG I JUST SAW ON YOUR MASTERLIST THE UPCOMING LIST PART AND I SAW COBRA KAIโ๏ธ I LOVE COBRA KAI SM
๐ฆ - ANON HEHE
๐๐๐๐๐๐ !!!!
I need to rewatch the show, and before that, the karate kid movies, but once I do, that's when I'll make a masterlist for the characters I'd like to write about and officially start taking requests๐.
but for now/until then, I'll just say that from what I have seen of cobra kai, it's pretty interesting, I love seeing daniel back after doing his original movies, and eli/hawk is fine as HELL like omg what are they feeding him๐ป ... *cough* anyways-

my head is all but consumed with thoughts only of wade wilson, logan howlett, and remy lebeau. they're all I can process in my head (besides shazam, but that's a given considering no one loves shazam the way I do, so๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ) and I y e a r n desperately for an influx in "wade x y/n x logan" fics and the "remy x y/n" fics... dare I even ask, humbly ofc, hear me out... for a splash of "wade x y/n x remy". genuinely, I'd kill for some of that ngl.
and I bet you're wondering, "lyssa, why not do it yourself๐ค?"
short answer: I am swamped with requests, and even if I wasn't, I'm not ready yet lmao I fear I do not possess the skills to capture them in my writing perfectly๐ ... yet๐.
in the meantime, tho *๐evil little laughter๐* may I plz suggest the following prompts and pairings to and for anybody willing to work with them or wanting ideas (begging any writers that see this to please write these and tag me plz plz plz plz plz ๐ญ๐๐ฝ๐plzplzplzplzplzplzplzpl-)...

โ ๏ธtrigger and content warning btw lol -
mentions of fighting/violence/bloodshed, death, gore, (like c'mon,,, bffr, look at who you're reading about๐๐คจ), anxiety/panic attacks, harsh words/themes/elements/physical injuries, abuse and/or negelct, separation anxiety, mental disorders, brief mention of sickness/illness, drugs (just ๐ and painkillers), age gap (nothing illegal, chill out๐คจโ๐ฝ), use of a derogatory term (not used in a negative sense tho lol), and some semi-common smut themes that I won't list here, but be wary if that stuff makes you uncomfortable :)โก. also, these are all under the pretense that the reader is a cis girl, she/her/hers pronouns (so ig you could think of this as one, big, mass request to all writers willing from me lol๐คญ๐ฅด๐ซถ๐ฝ).
๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ/๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ/๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ :
- reader having a panic/anxiety attack and ofc being comforted (causes my vary; maybe right after a fight/battle, or because of over-worrying or too much pressure, maybe after a fight with another loved one, etcetc). definitely wanna see this with all three of them, but separately, tho. like, one fic or list of "preferences/headcannons" for logan, one for wade, and then one for remy.
- near death or death (followed by resurrection swift after). it could be reader almost dies or dies (then gets resurrected, get creative with it/how, fr, yk?) or the reverse; the POI (person of interest) dies, although given two of the three's abilities, y'all might have to get creative if you want it to translate for logan and/or wade so this one would be mainly for a remy x reader.
- I personally love a good "POI says sumn mean/outta pocket, hurts reader's feels, stuff happens idk, but they eventually kiss and make up" trope. I'd eat that up, especially cuz OHHH,,,, wade taking a joke or playful argument or something too far? logan being a little too mean/angsty to you for comfort?? remy saying something that gets lost in translation, so it comes out harsher than intended??? ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซโผ๏ธโผ๏ธ AND IF YOU WANNA GET MESSY WIT IT, RUNNING TO ONE OF THE OTHER THREE FOR COMFORT๐๐โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ.
- a classic; reader getting injured (mildly or worse, doesn't matter), needing to be taken care of, but is stubborn about it?? always a good one.
- getting a little crazy and silly here, but I like a good "abusive and/or negelctful ex/current partner" trope. like hell yeah, one of you big, strong men get over here and save me, whisk me away and show me what I really deserve๐ปโผ๏ธ. NOT romanticizing/glorifying it obvs, like no, I mean that wade, logan, and/or remy would not be the red flags in this scenario, they're the one(s) doing the saving FROM the red flag ex/current partner lol.
- getting a little crazier and sillier with this one, but one where reader gets snatched up๐? oouuuu, miss girl got kidnapped?! once again, somebody come save me, and if "somebody" is not wade, logan, and/or remy, then don't bother, I don't want it. matter of fact, just gon' on ahead and leave me, I'll figure it out myself๐โ๐ฝ. I think I'd want these separate, actually, bc I wanna take in the individuality of their reactions, like,,, logan going feral?? pretty predictable tbh lmao but still hot. remy?? idek ngl, y'all gon' have to figure him out. BUT WADE BEING SERIOUS AND NOT AS TALKATIVE FOR ONCE UNTIL HE KNOWS YOU'RE SAFE???? OOOHOOHOOOOOOO, GIMMIE๐๐ฝ๐น๐๐ฝโ๐ฝ๐นโ๐ฝ!!!
- ig this could be put in the panic/anxiety attack category, but I also feel like this might be it's own separate thing, so idk, but... separation anxiety on reader's part. whatever the circumstances may be to breed it, reader is just (not in a unhealthy way) attached to the POI(s), so them leaving for whatever reason is pretty hard on her (and the POI(s), too, because hello, they don't wanna make their reader upset, but things gotta get done fr yk๐ซ๐ฅฒ),,, lots of reassurance, comforting, and maybe distractions ensue??
- reader with an alter ego/inner beast, whether that be a result of her powers or a mental disorder (think like,,, split personality or maybe DID or something like that, but I do wanna say, if you're gonna go the mental route, make sure you do your research so that you're representing it - not only accurately - but you're not dehumanizing or dumbing it down as well) or just anything that would cause the reader to, as I said, have a different side of themself,,, werewolf type deal, yk? "normal" for the most part, but then has her moments where she be on demon time and then when she's back to herself, she's just like "???" while everyone else is like "!!!". I suppose this could then be followed up/solved with a "the sun's getting real low" typa thing/moment from the POI(s), but that's neither here nor there, do what feels right frโก.
- reader (just barely) escapes cassandra nova??? that could be cool (a.k.a. very, very angsty bc surely the encounter has messed the reader alllll the way up both mentally and physically, especially knowing what typa timing cass be on lmao๐). love a good hurt/comfort, I can't get enough, actually. this one (given the movie context) may or may not work with wolvie and/or pool (again, up to the writer to get creative), but gambit?? he's been in the void his whole life, he knows cass, sooo it'd make more sense for him to have a higher understanding of the situation in full, but do what y'all want, I'm just the idea woman๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ.
๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ :
- morning cuddles and softeness and ughghfhfhdjdโก!!โก!โก!!โก!โก!!โก!! and then the opposite, night/bedtime cuddles and softness and uugjfjdkwkfkeโก!!โก!โก!!โก!โก!!โก!!
- height difference teasings and shenanigans. we can always stick to the classics, ofc, short reader, tall wade, logan, and/or remy. maybe its an advantage in fights - fast, lethal, and small + big, shielding, and strong - but sucks in more domestic/calm cases like reaching for shit on the top shelf or wanting to kiss somebody. but I'd also love some tall gworl reader type shit, miss strong, lean, runway model energy, stepping on any heads and wooing any men that are in her path๐ฅด๐ป. bending down with a smile so she can hear him, mindlessly playing with his hair, occasionally makes a quip here and there on the difference without thinking lol and he haaaaateeees all of it (but he looooveeeessss all of it๐คญ).
- reader being THAT GIRL, literally being in a 1v26 or sumn crazy like that and she's just kicking ass and shit the whole time, and then there's the POI(s),,, gawking and in love like "damn that's MY GIRL fr\๐ป/!!".
- *imagine a vine boom after every bolded word, okay, go* teen/minor/young PLATONIC NONSEXUAL NONROMANTIC (literally I can not stress this enough) NOT DATING AT ALL EVER reader and one/two/all of them. I think it'd just be silly seeing them (wade, logan, and or remy) working/paired with/having a bond with this little gremlin yet sweetheart of a reader who's somehow able to tolerate/put up with/ignore/maybe even indulge in their craziness lmfao. maybe just as or is even more crazy than they are, chaotic and desensitized type shit. you could even get ansgty with it, have this teen reader need saving or something like that, yk?
- sparring match and reader BEATS POI(s) in said spar cuz she's cool, awesome, and mega baller like that. lots of tension and goofiness, especially from the reader, cuz she knows damn well she's the shit. or, a different route!!... total dumb luck that she beat him/both/all of them, and is very obviously playing it off/acting like she won on purpose lmfao, cockiness ensuing.
- can't go wrong with a sick-fic lol. who doesn't wanna be taken care of?
- reader needs/wears glasses๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ. it can be the discovery of actually needing them, reader always squinting tryna read/see shit, or nearly getting herself in and out of danger bc again, she blind lmao. or it's just the case of reader never wears them out and about, but in calmer moments (where she doesn't run the risk of breaking them) she'll put them on, so she decides to bust 'em out one day and it's just the POI(s) being like ":O...๐ป๐ป!!".
- *olivia rodrigo voice* JEALOUSY, JEALOUSY, YEAA-aAAH๐ซ๐ซโผ๏ธ ... reader who just,,, she don't play that shit, man, lmfao it's called you can prove yourself either friend or foe,,, stay tf away from my man or get your ass beat. pick one. and it's the POI(s) just absolutely flattered and amused with this energy from reader lmfao, reassurance ensuing quick after ofc. or, if you wanna get silly with it (and by silly, I mean violentโก), reader with a girl who can't take a hint๐ *eye twitch* so she finally makes shit clear one way or another (one way; does sumn with the POI(s) that makes the girl uncomfortable so she fucks off. another; reader pretty much beats that girl up and it's the POI(s) laughing but also trying to pry reader off of her cuz "stop it, I'm yours, I promise, you don't have to kill her, she didn't know any better๐ญ!"). or just completely switch it up, vice versa, role-reversal POI(s) get jelly and it's reader having to deal with whatever may happen after/due to the fact lol.
๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ญ :
- shameless flirt reader!!!! she's not obnoxious or out of character/proper timing with it, but definitely a reader with helllllaaaaa rizz. is mainly on some "is somebody gonna match my freak?" type shi. wade would find it very silly and he'd match the freak ofc. logan,,, maybe he'd start off annoyed by it, then get used to it, only realizing you've actually grown on him once you start to pull back a little/stop completely? REMY WOULD LOVE AND BE AMUSED BY IT, so all I'm gonna say here is this: rabbits๐๐ฅฐ. iykykโก.
- a smoke sesh leading to some good, old fashioned high/sleepy sex๐ฅฐ. that's it, that's the promptโก.
- lord, free me from my sins๐๐ฝ, plz don't judge me y'all๐ ,,, age gap๐? NOTHING CRAZY, CHILL, but yk, like,,, just a little young thing in her 20s or sumn being scooped up by one (or two๐คญ) of these older, more mature, aged like fine wine, and experienced men,,, that's all๐ฅฐ.
- that moment when reader is a whore and is actually literally prancing around without a care in the world, fucking three different guys (wade, logan, and remy obvs) because "they're hot lol" - not necessarily behind their backs - but no one's saying anything or telling her no, nor does anyone seem to have any issues with it/are opposed, sooo๐๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ.
- do y'all think,,, because wolverine is yk...wolf-like-ish-whatever.... do y'all think that he,,,, that maybe he goes thru... a rut๐?? lmfaoGDHAKXKPQPRR okay that's enough, that's enough๐ฅดโ๐ฝ-.
- you know how some smut has certain labels/themes/tags that are gonna be, yk,,, in said smut?? well, cuz I'm out of any specific ideas for smut, I'm just gonna leave some here, m'kaaaay, and whatever y'all wanna dooooo is up to youuuu, just as long as I get to seeee๐โบ๏ธ๐ซถ๐ฝ~...
โ ๏ธ also don't say I didn't warn y'all, I mean, there's literally a whole ass trigger warning at the top, so do not start fckn trippin' because you disagree with me or saw sumn you don't fw, cuz tbh, I don't care and you can honestly block me if it's that seriousโก.
dom-sub, daddy/praise/breeding/spanking kink, knife/gun/blood play (and/or just mutant/power ability play in general hehehe), food/wax play, cnc (I don't suggest full blown non-con seeing as none of them seem the type to do such, no matter the circumstances, plus it's just not my thing personally but hey, I'm not currently writing for pool, wolvie, or gambit rn, so that's up to whoever is๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ), hunter-prey (y'all might see this and immediately think wolvie, which is understandable fr, but I beg y'all to get creative and let remy and/or wade hunt reader down, it can be done and done right, I promise, plz, I need it, ๐ซPLEASE!!-), friends with benefits,,, OHHH ENEMIES with benefits๐ซข๐ซข!!, overstim, jealousy/possessive/yandere, unprotected/creampie/oral ... that's all that comes to mind lmao wow what a crazy note to end this on, anyways-
โโโโโโโโโ ใ .ยฐโขโกโขยฐ. ใ โโโโโโโโโโ
yeah, so, do with all of this what you will (and plz spread this around, I genuinely do wanna see these get written and myself tagged like I am PINING for these fic ideas to be turned into reality๐ญ๐๐ฝ), I just had to get my thoughts out before I forgot (at least in the fanfic department), because if someone were to ask me my thoughts on the movie itself !!!!! OMG I could run my mouth forever, but I don't wanna do that (lazy) so lmao for now, that's all lol byeeee~ /แ -ห-ใ!!
