Marvel snap AU

Just to be incredibly angsty, imagine your OTP going through the snap.

Imagine how they are in the middle of something normal and one turns to the other to share a smile or say something when they other just falls into dust.

Imagine that they felt it coming, crumbling slowly away as the other sobs and tries to desperately hold them together.

Imagine the one left behind waiting for years, trying to live without their partner at their side.

Imagine they joy when the other returns. The tearful reunion and the promise not to leave each other again.

Or, imagine the confusion when one returns to find that the other has moved on, aged and in a new relationship. Imagine them trying to cope with all these sudden changes without their partner, remembering a time when they were happy and wishing that they had stayed. Imagine them moving on with a family now years older than them, feeling misplaced in this whole new world.

Imagine your OTP.

From killing each other in the crusades, and for about 100 years after that, to loving hitmen/soldier husbands in the movie. If anyone wants to write fanfics I’m here for it.

(I want to read a book about them! Like how the hell did Andy get them to stop killing each other and how did their relationship start?)

No!

Tang Yi and Shao Fei soulmate au

A short Drabble based of my other two part soulmate AU for Jack and ZhaoZi.

Tang Yi never gave much thought to his soulmate words. There was always something more pressing in his life, such as looking after Hong Ye, managing the business, of working on his cooking. After Mr Tang gave him a home he simply didn’t bother with the idea of a soulmate. He had all the happiness that he needed.

But then Mr Tang died and he found himself stuck in a hospital bed recovering from a nearly fatal bullet wound to the chest. At first he was so consumed with his grieving emotions and thoughts of revenge that he hadn’t really noticed the man come through the door. The doctor at his bedside had glanced up at the visitor before leaving the room, his departure making Tang Yi adress the man. He was young, probably around his age, with short cut black hair and a expressive face. His eyes were red rimmed and it was clear he had been crying. For a moment Tang Yi wondered why the man had been crying before he recalled the other body. The female officer had also been murdered with Mr Tang. She must have been close to this young officer.

“Do you know who shot you?”

The question caught Tang Yi by surprise and he felt the scribble on his forearm heat up. Refusing to think about the consequences of the reaction of his words, he schooled his face into a calm expression.

“No” he stated clearly. He watched as the officer’s eyes widened as his hand flew to the back of his neck. But before he could speak the hospital doors flew open and a small guy poked his head through.

“Shao Fei”, he called as the officer turned around. “The boss wants you to head back to the station. Says they need help going through Tang’s files”.

Shao Fei groaned and turned back to glare at Tang Yi. “I know that you know who shot you, no matter what you say”, he said stubbornly. Tang Yi was just noticing how big Shao Fei’ ears were. (He’s on a lot of medication. Sue him) “I promise you that I will figure out the truth and bring the people responsible to justice”, Shao Fei continued. Tang Yi tilted his head in challenge, meeting Shao Fei’s gaze. “Let’s hope you get there first then”, he muttered just loud enough for the other to hear. The pissed off expression Shao Fei gave him almost made him snort. The guy just looked too ridiculous with his monkey ears. As Shao Fei left the room, Tang Yi was left considering their encounter and hoping that he would not have to deal with such a loud impulsive officer again.

Unfortunately, Shao Fei didn’t get the same idea.

For four years the officer pursued him. The guy seemed to pop up everywhere and it was getting on Tang Yi’s nerve. He was too busy trying to turn the company legal to pay attention to the stubborn policeman. Every occurrence consisted of Shao Fei asking questions and Tang Yi responding with cool dismissals and negative answers. He half wondered, whenever he gave Shao Fei a thought, why the officer even bothered? He would even turn up when off work! He had to admire his persistence.

As time drew on, Tang Yi started finding benefits to Shao Fei’s chase. Leaving anonymous tips at the station about a secret meeting between him and various other gang leaders was a easy way to get his enemies arrested. Besides, Jack’s descriptions of Shao Fei’s face every time he realised that Tang Yi was not there were too good to be true.

The officer was the best to tease. His face was so expressive that Tang Yi just couldn’t help annoying him just for the reaction. Cuffing him to the elevator with his own handcuffs was by far the funniest. Shao Fei had looked so frustrated and angry that Tang Yi has to fight back a grin. But despite this teasing and the continued persistence Shao Fei, neither men discussed the subject of soulmates.

That is until they were kidnapped and hiding on some mountain side.

It was Shao Fei who broached it first. He was quietly watching the fire Tang Yi had made when he spoke. “Did your words ever react?” He asked. The question surprised Tang Ti who paused his action of poking the flames and turned to face the other. Shao Fei looked tired and his face had a slight vulnerability that Tang Yi had never seen before. He was not meeting his gaze, eyes fixed on the fire in front of him and Tang Yi could see the blood on his sleeve where his tie was wrapped around the wound.

“It’s just”, Shao Fei continued after a minute of Tang Yi not responding. “When mine heated up, it caught me by surprise. Its on the back of my neck so I never really paid attention to it. It was a complete refusal anyway”. Shao Fei shifted, voice becoming sad. His shirt collar moved and Tang Yi could just about see the neat word ‘No’ inscribed at the base of his neck. Tang Yi didn’t say anything. After a few minutes Shao Fei headed inside the shelter, leaving Tang Yi with his thoughts.

The first time Tang Yi felt the urge to kiss Shao Fei was when he was looking for his lighter. He was so afraid that he had lost it somewhere on that mountain that when Shao Fei turned up with the lighter in hand, Tang Yi was shocked by the sudden urge to kiss the other senseless arising in his chest. As he always did, he ignored the feeling and thanked the other.

However, the more his ignored his feelings, the more they seemed to rise. It was particularly bad when the puppy like officer invited himself to stay over under the excuse of ‘protecting’ Tang Yi. Especially since the self sacrificing idiot kept on getting himself injured for him. Although, his flustered expression when Tang Yi gave him a back massage was hilarious.

But then Shao Fei got shot protecting Hong Ye and Tang Yi was consumed by a sudden fear of losing the annoying policeman. He hadn’t even realised that he had began to care for him until the threat of losing him was too much. Every time he returned to the hospital, he was struck by feelings of care and admiration for the man in the bed. At first he ignored the feelings until Shao Fei would look up and greet him with a smile that Tang Yi couldn’t help but return.

So when Shao Fei asked him to walk with him up to the hospital roof, Tang Yi happily agreed. Watching Shao Fei overlook the city and drink in the fresh air left a warm smile on his face. When Shao Fei turned around and pulled him into a kiss, Tang Yi responded before he could even think things through, kissing back with so much hunger that it caught Shao Fei by surprise.

As they finally pulled away, Shao Fei rested his forehead against Tang Yi’s. “I have been pursuing you for four years Tang Yi”, he grinned. “Can I assume that this is an answer to my confession?” Tang Yi smiled at Shao Fei’s proud puppy like expression. “Yes”, he answered. “I accept your confession”. Shao Fei laughed triumphantly before pulling him in for another kiss.

Why isn’t the fandom screaming about Sand’s legs???

The shot where he gets the party notif in ep 8 and he’s there with his legs up in his T-shirt and boxers???

He has better legs than me. Like if Ray saw that then he would go feral. Sand has such great legs. I’m so jealous.

(Can someone gif that for me? Pretty please?)

In the latest edition of cql/mdzs rare pairs that completely blindsided me, let's talk about Jiang Cheng and Lan Jingyi.

This ship has the Vibe of that volcano experiment you had in elementary: Explosive? You bet. Educational? Probably. Wildly Entertaining? Hell yeah.

First off, endless Dramatic Potential. Age difference, power dynamics, secret relatioships, outsider povs reactions when they Find Out - take your pick.

Jin Ling. Half of the Drama Material alone is in the very spicy take "my best friend, and my uncle who practically raised me are together." Whichever end of the spectrum JL is on the support/acceptance scale, it's bound to be interesting.

These two are probably the most similar in temperament in the surface level but there's also enough differences to make the ship plausible. One of the things I appreciated in the rewatch is that LJY is often used for exposition dump and so he comes off as super knowledgeable about the world (eg. info on Dancing Goddess) Also, he's perceptive and smart. He's the first person to point out that WWX is not as crazy as he pretends to be as MXY. So he and JC could def have intellectual conversations (hello casefic/nighthunts)

Also when I rewatched ep 1-2 I noticed some Very Interesting things. In the few scenes they are both together with a crowd LJY doesn't speak up during tense scenes, allowing LSZ to be LWJ's Diplomatic Translator. But then there's this One Exchange when JC whips out Zidian at MY (who's already WWX) and he's like "wtf why didn't that work thats impossible" and GUESS WHO HAS THE AUDACITY TO SPEAK OUT WHEN EVERYONES INTERNALLY LIKE "wtf is going on oooh shit"

Thats right our boi LJY. Not only that but he literally says "sect leader pls stop" then proceeds to lecture JC on the features of his own spiritual weapon. LJY does Gusu Library have a cultivation wiki section because is this even public information?? How do you know these v specific things hmmmm maybe you have an inside source like the owner of the spiritual weapon?

And JC doesn't even scold him but instead Actually Slips Composure by asking him, LJY, on how he can be so sure that WWX isn't dead. LJY has to bluntly but unkindly reply that "people said you killed him." Cue JC's open heartbreak in his eyes. At this point it's a wide shot and it's a blink it or miss moment but LSZ lit squeezes LJY's hand to stop from talking at JC (and maybe roasting him)

Btw i didn't wake up one day shipping these two? Like I love JC with WQ and have enjoyed fics pairing him with WN, NHS, and LXC. LJY has been paired with LSZ and even JL and these fics I also loved

But then I read 1-2 fics that had this rare pair and thought "huh they're onto something" then I read more until I found myself scrolling through the ao3 tags and OH nO

Seriously half of the fics is either "I think your hot so let's bang together and maybe catch feelings along the way (mostly LJY)" and "outsider pov finds out about unconventional relationship. Reactions range from shocked surprise to downright decisive. More at page 11"

This pairing in emojis is: 😏😠 (while holding hands) and I can never unsee it so you shouldn't either

Flash backing to the time I used a clip from Kinnporsche in an editing assignment during second year.

A graded assignment.

And when my lecturer asked what clip it was, I answered “oh, a mafia drama from Thailand”. All while my friend (who knew exactly what KP was) was trying not to die behind me.

I got a good grade on that assignment though.

Why isn’t Joker taking off his shirt? With the wounds it seems that it would be the easiest option.

Is he hiding something? Another tattoo? What does he not want Jack to see?

I’m suspicious.
