oh hey it’s been a month since i posted any fic snippets so here *throws more regency au shin soukoku at you*

#bungoustraydogs #bungostraydogs #bsd #shinsoukoku #sskk #wipwednesday #ficsnippets
Akutagawa sensed there was more to the story, due to the way Atsushi stumbled over the words, and how his posture had gone suddenly stiff and awkward. He scoffed. "I see. So you drove her away with your insipid blathering." At that, Atsushi's gaze snapped towards him again. In the lamplight, his golden eyes seemed to flash with anger. "Well, at least I was trying to be friendly," he said sharply, "and I'm not just cruel to everyone I meet like you are." The insult stuck like barbs under Akutagawa's skin, and his hands curled into fists. Atsushi squared his shoulders, his brows knitting furiously together. Akutagawa could practically feel the growing tension crackling in the air between them, like a storm brewing, a stark juxtaposition to their serene surroundings. But just when he thought they might start exchanging blows, Atsushi's rigid stance began to fade. The fire died in his eyes, and he looked down towards the cobblestones with a defeated sigh. "I'm sorry," he said. "To be perfectly honest, I think you're right. I believe I insulted her. I'm not good at..." He trailed off with a wince, as if something had physically pained him. He gestured vaguely back towards the mansion, where the sound of music and laughter trickled out of the open doors. Akutagawa blinked, astounded. Had Atsushi just... apologized to him? His burning fury began to ebb, as reluctant as he was to let it go. His fingers slowly uncurled. An uncomfortable feeling curled in his stomach as he observed Atsushi's sudden forlorn expression. It felt dangerously close to sympathy.

more bsd regency au for #wipwednesday! akutagawa pining for atsushi: hmm what is this feeling… it must be HATRED 😡

#bsd #bungoustraydogs #bungostraydogs #shinsoukoku #sskk
The last time they'd been this close was on the first day they'd arrived here, when they fought on the beach. Akutagawa had thought of it many times in the days since then, for reasons he couldn't explain. In particular, he couldn't chase away the memory of Atsushi pinned beneath him as the surf swirled and foamed around them, the way Atsushi's wet and bloodstained shirt clung to him, how his own fist had shaken as it clenched in Atsushi's collar. He kept circling back to that moment, wondering why he hadn't shoved Atsushi down into the water, why he hadn't driven his knuckles into Atsushi's jaw. He wondered the same thing now, standing stiffly as Atsushi very carefully pried the cat's claws from his sleeve. The cat yowled in protest, but Atsushi only murmured comforting words to her as he scooped her up. The soft tone of his voice made an unidentifiable feeling curl in the pit of Akutagawa's stomach. It was the way he'd felt that day on the beach, right before he'd stopped himself from punching Atsushi in the face—a swooping sensation in his gut, like the ground had fallen out from beneath him. Just like then, his heart beat so fast and hard against his ribs that it made his breath catch. He'd never felt something so intense before, this hatred that was so all-consuming that it made him feel physically ill. At least, he was fairly certain it was hatred.

bsd regency au for #wipwednesday ft. dazai and chuuya being terrible at spying 😆

#bungoustraydogs #bungostraydogs #bsd #soukoku #skk #ficsnippets
"Where is Chuuya taking me? Am I being kidnapped?" "No, you idiot. We're going after them." Dazai gasped in mock incredulity. "Chuuya! Are you suggesting we spy on them?" "What? No!" Chuuya sputtered. "We're not spying on them, just watching them without their knowledge." He realized how the words sounded as soon as he said them, and inwardly cringed. He dared a glance at Dazai, who was barely holding back an amused smile. Chuuya wanted to punch it off his face. Instead, he just released a frustrated grunt and tugged harder on Dazai's sleeve, steering him towards the back doors. As they stumbled haphazardly through the crowd, Chuuya was distantly aware of all the pairs of eyes trailing after them. Now that he thought about it, they probably should have made their exit more subtly. There was a flicker of panic at the back of his mind, thinking up all the elaborate rumors that might stem from this-the sight of him and Dazai drunkenly running out into the gardens together, Chuuya grasping Dazai by the wrist. Would everyone think they were storming outside to duel each other? Or worse, would they think... Chuuya hastily dismissed the thought and let go of Dazai's sleeve. His face burned, and he tried to convince himself it was from exertion and nothing else. In any case, he hoped Dazai hadn't noticed it in the dimness.

hey #wipwednesday it’s been a hot minute 🫣 have some shin soukoku hurt/comfort from bsd regency au hehehe

#bungoustraydogs #bsd #shinsoukoku #sskk
Atsushi was still staring steadily at him, not backing down. And at last, Akutagawa released a relenting sigh. Glaring to the side, not daring to meet Atsushi's gaze, he lifted his hand. Atsushi's fingers wrapped around his wrist, sending a shock through him. Akutagawa tensed and almost pulled away—but Atsushi's touch was gentler than expected, as he turned Akutagawa's hand this way and that, humming thoughtfully as he inspected it. "It doesn't look too deep, luckily," he said. "And I think most of the bleeding has stopped." "I told you it wasn't serious," Akutagawa muttered. Atsushi dipped the cloth in the bowl of water. "Well, even the smallest of cuts can get infected," he said. "Now, hold still." Akutagawa was about to protest that he was holding still-then tensed and hissed in pain as Atsushi pressed the wet cloth to his torn skin. Atsushi paused, giving him an odd look—a slight tilt to his head, a furrow in his brow. "You did that on purpose," Akutagawa spat. "I did not—" Atsushi stopped and sighed. "I'm sorry, all right? Maybe I used a bit too much pressure. I'll be more careful." "You'd better be," Akutagawa said.

some more matchablossom for wip weds! i need to finish this fic… i missed writing about them sm 🥹

#sk8 #sk8theinfinity #matchablossom #wipwednesday #ficsnippets
Kaoru's pulse slows a little. He's strangely relieved, since this is somehow far easier to answer than what he thought Kojiro might be asking. "You want to know if I was ever in love with him," he says. A statement rather than a question. Kojiro's eyes widen a fraction. But then, after a moment, he nods. There's a subtle bob in his throat. Kaoru sighs, letting his head rest back against the wall again. "I wasn't," he says. He's had the answer prepared for a long time. He's honestly surprised Kojiro didn't ask him sooner. Kojiro goes rigid, as if the words sent a jolt through him. "You weren't?" "No. Does that surprise you?" "Well... I don't know. Kinda." Kojiro extracts his hand from Kaoru's and rubs the side of his neck. "I just always thought..." He seems embarrassed all of a sudden, avoiding Kaoru's gaze. Kaoru huffs a breathless noise. Maybe he's laughing-he's not really sure. "I can't really blame you for that," he says. "I was so infatuated with him, back then. He made me feel so... noticed. Special. At the time, I thought that was love. That he loved me, that he loved all of us." His ribs ache. He presses a hand to his side and winces. "But he didn't," he goes on. "As hard as it is to accept, I don't think he ever loved any of us. Or at least, what he considered to be love was really just control. I realize that, now."

i finally remembered wip wednesday again! more from bsd regency fic… working on a scene where shin soukoku become accidental cat dads 🤭

#bsd #bungoustraydogs #shinsoukoku #sskk #ficsnippets #wipwednesday
But the cat didn't seem to notice him. As it emerged into the faint light, crouching low to the ground, its gaze was fixed entirely on Akutagawa. "Wh-Why is it looking at me like that?" Akutagawa said. He remained frozen, like he feared the cat was a demonic beast that would maul him if he made a single wrong move. Atsushi had felt briefly slighted that the cat had ignored him entirely-but it was quickly drowned out by amusement as he took in the terrified look on Akutagawa's face. He stifled a laugh against the back of his hand. "Just hold still," he said. "It's not like it's going to attack you or anything." Akutagawa did not seem to believe that. He remained tense, as if preparing himself for a painful blow, as the cat crept closer and closer to him. Now that it had emerged into the light, Atsushi could see it had faint gray streaks lining its back and tail, like a tiger's stripes. The cat was only inches away from Akutagawa now, and it tilted its head in curiosity. In the stillness, Atsushi thought he could hear a faint rumbling noise emanating from the small creature. Was it... purring? Then, with a small chirping sound, it leapt. Akutagawa let out a choked, surprised noise. He nearly fell backwards as he tried to struggle away, but the cat had already jumped onto his lap and was now attempting to dive inside his wide yukata sleeve.

long time no matchablossom… well here’s a little snippet from the bed sharing fic since i am finally getting back into it 🙈

#sk8 #sk8theinfinity #matchablossom #wipwednesday #ficsnippets
Slowly, without a word, he stretches out his hand. He lets it hover there in the narrow space between them, palm facing upward. He won't look Kojiro in the eye. But he feels Kojiro's shoulder stiffen against his, sees how Kojiro looks down and stares at Kaoru's hand like he has no idea what it is. Then, at last, there's a gentle pressure against his palm. Kojiro's fingers intertwine with his, familiar and warm and calloused. Neither of them speaks. Kaoru stares at the wall across from his bed. He just breathes, and clings to the grounding sensation of Kojiro's hand in his. After a few minutes, the phantom images of the nightmare grow foggy, and the trembling in his body dies down to stillness. Kojiro shifts next to him, his arm jostling against Kaoru's. "You okay?" Kaoru takes another breath. His chest doesn't hurt so much, now. "Yes," he says quietly. He's not sure if it's true, but he's at least better than he was before.

another bsd regency au snippet! ft. dazai (badly) trying to be a wingman for sskk & chuuya does not know how to read the room 😂

#bsd #bungoustraydogs #soukoku #shinsoukoku #skk #sskk #wipwednesday #ficsnippets
"I have an idea!" Dazai cut in. He had somehow appeared between the two of them, and put a hand on each of their shoulders. "Why don't you both go?" Akutagawa immediately saw his own reluctance reflected on Atsushi's face. "That's..." Akutagawa cleared his throat, struggling to suppress the cough he could feel rising up from his lungs. "I don't think that will be necessary." "Perhaps not," Dazai said, "but it will make it a bit easier, don't you think? That way one person doesn't have to carry food for all of us." "This is ridiculous," said Chuuya. "In that case, why don't we all just—" Dazai whirled around to slap a hand over Chuuya's mouth. "Oh, Chuuya! Wasn't there that thing over there you wanted to see?" Chuuya went cross-eyed staring at Dazai's hand over his mouth, before he hastily smacked it away. His face had started to turn the same burgundy color as the fan he was holding. "Hah? What are you—" Dazai grabbed him by the collar, spun him around, and started to push him down the street. He threw a smile over his shoulder at Akutagawa and Atsushi. "We won't be far!" he called. "Come find us after you've gotten the food!"

chapter 16 is posted!

read here: ao3.org/works/8481865/chapters/161885548
White text against a black background with purple smoke and gold sparks. The text reads: "I don't know what's going to happen, either," he managed to say. "And trust me, I'm scared as hell. But it's like you said before-we have the lions, we have Voltron. And we're all gonna stand against Zarkon together. We can do this." He put as much confidence into the words as he could, trying to convince himself just as much as he was trying to convince Lance. And somehow, despite the crippling fear threatening to overtake him, he found that it did instill a spark of hope. Lance's expression softened. He drew in a shaky inhale and released it. "I know," he said, weaving his fingers together with Keith's. "I'm trying to believe that. But it's so hard not to worry. And I don't want to lose this. I don't want to lose..." He didn't complete the sentence, but Keith felt the weight of the unspoken word like a blow to the stomach. He could see the hollow, terrified look deep in Lance's eyes and it suddenly hit him how unfair all of this was. He couldn't help but think about how different it would have been if they'd met under normal circumstances, if they'd just been two normal teenage boys and didn't have the fate of the world resting on their shoulders.

Altea Rising angstinspace Summary: "Are you a ghost?" Lance asked. "Am la...? No, I'm not a ghost." "Oh." Lance's shoulders sagged. "Sorry. The mullet threw me off.

When Shiro and Matt disappear without a trace, Keith seeks out the help of Matt's sister, Pidge-who, like him, suspects that something paranormal is afoot. A trail of clues leads them to a ghost town called Altea, where they meet ghost hunters Hunk and Lance. The group soon discovers they are paladins— they have the ability to walk between the physical and spirit worlds. An evil spirit named Zarkon is planning to invade the human world... and the only way to stop him, and to save Shiro and Matt in time, is to form an immensely powerful being called Voltron. But in order to do that, they'll need to find all five ghost lions-each located in one of the most haunted locations in the world.

"Yes, well, about that..." Chuuya snuck a glance out the window, and the dark clouds crowding the sky. "Are you sure it was a good idea to send Akutagawa and Atsushi out on a walk by themselves?" Dazai shrugged. "Why would it not be?" He couldn't be serious. Then again... this was Dazai, so what had Chuuya expected? "I don't know," Chuuya said, "maybe because you intentionally turned them against each other? They could be strangling each other on the beach right now." "Ah, Chuuya." Dazai let out an exasperated sigh. "You worry too much. Careful, or you'll give yourself wrinkles, and I don't think you could afford to become any uglier." He poked Chuuya in the forehead, and Chuuya swatted his hand away. "I'm serious, you stupid mackerel." "As am I, my little parasitic slug." "You—"
