I just had a few Yoongi requests, so Namjoon it is!

Arborvitae - Unchanging friendship; Watching someone you love fall in love until it’s right

Namjoon & Reader (Platonic), no warnings

“Someone’s back to see you.” 

Namjoon doesn’t look up, so you nudge him. He glances at the customer, then ducks his head. 

“They just like our caramel mocha. It is yummy.” 

You roll your eyes. Your best friend may be smart, but he can be rather obtuse sometimes. Sure, it’s delicious, but who visits a coffeehouse four times in three days? 

When the customer asks about the special, you push Namjoon towards the counter. “Time to get back out there, tiger,” you whisper, backing away before he can reply. 

As soon as the customer smiles, you know Namjoon’s a goner.

Hi Mittens!! Please buckle in for this one because I expect it to be a huge tearjerker T_T

Basically I had this idea in my head before but then I watched a movie which really cemented in my head. The movie is called Don't Make Me Go btw, and it was a very heartchurning watch!

The basic premise is that OC and Hoseok are former lovers who separated a while back. One day, out of the blue, Hoseok is contacted by OC, and finds out that they had a child together. They slowly ease back into a friendship (and maybe something more?), but the whole time Hoseok is wracking his brain, wondering why she even reached out after so many years apart.

The catch is that OC is sick and doesn't know if she'll make it, and she wanted to reunite her child with their other parent so they wouldn't be alone if something happens to her. And all the while, she tries to be the strong, stoic one that tells herself she can't fall for Hoseok and break his heart - again.

12. favorite character to write about this year

oof, this one’s hard. i really loved writing life mushroom jin, but i’ve got a wip that involves an espresso machine technician yoongi that i’m kind of super in love with … and then there’s sacrificial’s namjoon as well. i’ve found that writing characters often involves being bias-wrecked to hell and back in the process of writing them so whichever one i’m writing at the moment is my favorite character to write 😭😭😭

18. current number of wips

Half baked notes in my note taking app: 34 ish.

Stories with starts and/or plots: 10!

Actual drafts in progress: 2

24. favorite fic you read this year

AH HECK JESS DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE??? UMMMM. okay. i only just started reading fics this year, so keep that in mind. i’ve also read A LOT™️ and have done a terrible job of keeping track of what i have and have not read. here are my top five that i can think of right now but ask me in five minutes and i’ve probably changed my mind lmaooo.

1. Effleurer (link to ao3 because tumblr hates me idk) by @sugaurora

2. The Guarded AU by @xjoonchildx

3. Hideaway by @bonvoyagenoona

4. Moonflower by @sugaurora

5. Pheromones by @rmnamjoons

this was excruciating … i need to get a rec blog up and running because honestly i pretty much love and would die for anything i read.

25. a fic you read that you would recommend everyone read

the most conspicuous absence for me in the aforementioned list is definitely void by @btssavedmylifeblr. bee is the fucking coolest and this story is actual hard sci-fi and i simp for it like there’s no tomorrow. her character building and consistency in style are drool-worthy. honorable mention also to bee’s euphoria for making me cry like a big baby.

what?! really?! this is legitimately surprising to me as it is literally the first ever piece of smut i've EVER written!! i can't believe that its your favorite! oohhh this makes me all warm and fuzzy inside! thank you jess!

LMAOOO I had a feeling you would ask me about this!!

So this is actually not technically a WIP, but basically a collection of fic ideas for Namjoon where the only caveat is, I have to be nice to him.

This was created after I finished Make it Right - and while I won't spoil it, I will admit that I wasn't very nice to Joon in that fic 🤣. I was mad at male Virgos when I first started it and ended up taking it out on him. On top of that (and I am ashamed to admit this) - it's the only fic I have for him so far, with the exception of the OT7 zombie!AU I'm working on.

Basically, I need to make it up to him, and I want to write him something nice. So I'm hoarding ideas until I can figure out how I shall honor my President. If you have any good ones, send 'em my way!

Jessssssssss!! Hehe thanks for sending me these 💜

25. Lmao I actually just answered this one here and mentioned Bona Fides as it deserves as well as several of my other faves 🥰

21. Okay I love every single comment and review I get like truly but when I read @xjoonchildx review for Criminal Influence it really stood out to me because it was chaotic and hilarious and sweet and I loved how Ana kept adding in little references here and there that was a special one for sure and it made me really happy when I read it ❤️

You see this?
