Lowk sounds terrifying (trekking through forest at night in snow) but the pictures are super super pretty!! Esp the first one and how you can see the outline of the whole moon even though it’s a crescent

Soleum is alive, listens for his breathing, maybe checks his pulse. Maybe has nightmares of Soleum disappearing
This is IF choi can fall asleep cause he may be a light sleeper that goes on high alert at any disturbance

,,,also imagine either of them wake up combat ready, punches thrown half-asleep

Agreed but do you have examples 👉👈

That’s so cool!! The makeup gives a 3D vibe too so it’s like mixing 2D and 3D and real life

Misc
- one handed wields a claymore
- realistically would be Sylus, with blood powers and stellacrum colors
- cat butlers is his least favorite card

He does the same exercise over and over. cleans the same sword 100x when once was enough (cough Sylus). He’s played kitty cards a thousand times. He needs a separate room for all the plushies. Trapped in the same daily routine.

But at least he can watch SY sleep every night.

Fighting is fun but it’s always the same enemies and the same movesets. And SY is lowk bad at fighting, so here BG is, getting his clothes ripped because SY doesn’t know hot to dodge.
BG also gets touched in intimate areas and all he can do about it is… turn around.

Forced domesticity. He has inane daily life conversations. He watches cartoons on TV. He tidies the shelves. He admires PLANTS.
He’s made to sing and dance and play erhu. Sometimes there’s kisses and hugs but he’s not able to initiate anything, only SY. The SY with the female avatar

BG doesn’t yet have the power to make another portal. So there he is, separated by a screen, aware of when SY interacts with the other LIs. Watching SY order takeout every night. Forced to wear a panda onesie or a big bow or combat useless leather (catch 22)
And now there’s the home system

I read this one recently! archiveofourown.org/works/76104421
Generally speaking would also rec looking up the tags and sorting by bookmarks and check out what catches your eye

Have fun!! But be aware that 1. latter movies spoil major arcs 2. won’t take long to get pavlov-ed by the theme song…

- most age gap I’ve seen have darker or more complex story
- batfam fics :DD
- sunshine is sometimes infantilized *or* too motherly to grumpy
- tends to heavily feminize the guy in a negative way
- I love yearning
- too dramatic but there’s gems here and there (komi-san is p good!)

- E->L I’m thinking saiouma, last game, inasure
- not sure how many true second chances I’ve read (lil sis of death game mastermind, maybe?), but watching ML grovel can be fun in revenge or isekai
- second hand embarrassment otherwise fun :D
- friends to lovers <3
