I don’t like this because I was waiting for the part where Nath realises how Candy feels about him and wins her heart 😭😭😭 they should be together!
but besides this little detail it’s beautiful ❤️
this was heavily inspired by a conversation I had with @imjustsomebodyelse. I’ll still do the collab piece with “Undrunk”, but I thought this song also fitted the theme so well!
And also, I did this because of a request I received on my askbox, so thank you anon!
The song is Sober, by Selena Gomez

Candy took another shot, hoping that the burning taste of vodka would take her sorrow away, and turned around to look at the crowd. By then, should be studying for the upcoming exam, but her mind could only focus on the face that approached her.
Damn, he was the last person she wanted to see at the moment. After all, he was the reason she was there, drinking all by herself in a corner of the Snake Bar. She couldn’t blame him, though. This place was his second home, of course he’d be there that night.
“Hey.” Nath took a seat in the barstool next to her and quickly ordered a drink for both of them, as she had already finished hers. “So, how’s college?”
“Good. How’s… Everything?”
“Fine, I guess.”
They stayed silent, Candy’s heart growing more sad with every second that passed. How did their love turn into this cold, lifeless relation?
We fall for each other at the wrong time
Only for a moment but I don’t mind
Guess I don’t know where to draw the line. the line, the line
We’re playing the same game every night
She vividly remembered high school, their relationship back then was pure bliss. When she moved, all she wanted was to stay with him. Be with him. And then, four years later, she got back. The consequences of her actions, however, would mark her until the present moment.
Candy tried to restore what they had, god knows she did, but his heart was stone cold. He didn’t react anymore to her touch, his words were always sarcastic.
It took months for him to be his friend again and, even though she wanted more, she was content with that. But, then, one night, he made a proposition, one that she should never have accepted.
Being friends with benefits with Nath was something absurd. She loved him, more than anything, and reducing her dreams of a life with him to some casual hook ups would slowly kill her.
But she said yes. Every damn time, Candy said yes. She could blame the alcohol, but she’d be fooling herself. Her love for him made her accept this crumb of affection. But he fucked her so good and made her feel things that nobody else ever did.
Up in the clouds, yeah you know how to make me want you
When we come down, I know, yeah I know it’s over
That was why she pulled him closer once again and sealed their lips in a kiss. He took her into his apartment, where their drunk bodies became one, roughly pounding into the mattress. When she noticed it, another night had been passed in his bed.
You don’t know how to love me when you’re sober
When the bottle’s done you pull me closer
You’re saying all the things that you’re supposed to
But you don’t know how to love me when you’re sober
Candy opened her eyes and immediately recognized the bedroom where she was. The sound of running water caught her ears, he was in the shower. Quickly, she got dressed and caught her phone to see if anyone contacted her during the night. There was only one message from Chani, an answer to her previous one.
“You deserve better”, it said.
She was about to answer when Nath returned to the bedroom in a towel. He opened the wardrobe and started to look for clean clothes in silence. Not a single kiss, caress or word.
Why’s it so different when we wake up?
Same lips, same kiss, but not the same touch
Don’t you know you’re doing just enough, but not enough?
But I know what’s next and I want so much
She left the apartment soon after, feeling emptiness fill her up. Her optimistic side told her that one day he’d be ready to love her again, she’d just have to wait. But how much of herself would she lose until then? Was her suffering worth it?’
I know I should leave, I know I should, should, should
But your loves too good, your loves too good, good, good
I know I should leave, I know I should, should, should
But your loves too good, your loves too good, good, good
She never felt this much love for anyone as she did for him. The moments they spent together before were magical. They were a dream come true. But since she came back, he wasn’t the same. Maybe she should accept the truth: perhaps it wasn’t meant to be.
You don’t know how to love me when you’re sober
When the bottle’s done you pull me closer
You’re saying all the things that you’re supposed to
But you don’t know how to love me when you’re sober
As she walked to her dorm, Candy typed a quick message to Nath. As she pressed the ‘send’ button, a part of her died, but at least she did what she had to do.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do this anymore”
You’ve got a hold on me
You’re like a wasted dream
I give you everything
But you don’t know how to love me when you’re sober
I know I wasn't active in the last few days, and I'm really sorry for that
I'm working on the requests I have, there aren't many luckily. I have 3 requests right now + 2 original ideas, though I might write those 2 later. when I'm done with the requests, I'll take a little break (longer than this one), because I'll have exams soon
I wrote down some things that I'd like to see when someone requests me, I'll post these rules today. I also made a new masterlist because the one I have right now is a bit chaotic 😅 though I'll post that later this week I don't like posting so many things in short time opps
Oooff writing fantasy can be tricky, or at least for me, but good luck with it!
Someday I'm gonna publish a book.
nope! I’m not here! *hides behind the table* I don’t write!
joking though, but really. I don’t write that much, some MCL oneshots, kinda okayish but no

Candy’s P. O. V.
Is there a better feeling than watching the snow fall while you're sitting next to a cosy fireplace? Because I don't think there is. I sipped my hot chocolate as I listened to the TV, but my eyes were on my lover in the kitchen.
Rayan and I rented a cottage in the mountains for the holidays. It was great to have a little time off with just the two of us. Our first day started off calmly, with just getting accustomed to the new place. However, as the night started to fall, the snowing got more and more serious, and the weather forecast didn't sound too encouraging either.
"...we can expect that in the next couple of days heavy snowing will rea..."
With a sigh, I turned it off then headed to the kitchen. Rayan greeted me with a radiant smile when I got in. He put my empty mug down, then took my face in his hands and pressed a kiss on my lips. I remained silent for a while, but he knew me so well.
"Is the storm troubling you?" he asked sweetly. I nodded and let him wrap his hands around me. The thought of staying quiet and enjoying his embrace flashed through my mind, but somehow I still admitted in a low voice:
"I've never been in a snow storm in my life."
I heard him chuckle, but he cleared his throat and forced a serious face when he saw that I was a bit grumpy. He pressed a kiss on my nose as a way of apology.
"Sorry for laughing, that was just too cute." I couldn't be angry at him of course, we were both smiling at this point. "Back to the subject, there's nothing to be afraid of. We're not on the road or out in the nature. We won't get hurt, I promise."
The storm came of course, but nothing happened to us, true to his reassurance. For some reason the thought of sleeping terrified me, so we both stayed awake the whole night. The fire in the furnace burnt down, but the embers were giving out warmth for quite a time. Sitting on the carpet, drinking hot chocolate and sharing our childhood stories about our first snow, the storm was the last thing on my mind.
As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.
I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

Guardian's P. O. V.
"It truly is an amazing sight" I nodded hearing Leiftan's words, though my eyes were still on the flying companions. As they finished their dance, I turned my head back to Leiftan, only to catch him staring at me. His face became red immediately, looking to the sideways a little.
"I totally agree with you" he said when he finally met my eyes again.
I rolled my eyes.
"Wow, that was pretty cliché…" It was actually sweet of him, but he doesn't have to know that.
Leiftan let out a chuckle, then wrapped me tighter in his arms, pressing his lips against my forehead.
"What do you say we go back to HQ? We stayed up all night, I'm sure you're tired by now."
"I don't know… seeing the sun up in the sky, makes me imagine I just woke up. I'm energetic, to be honest. Also, don't forget we slept for seven years." I lightly elbowed Leiftan, though it was quite the challenge, given how we were still embracing each other. He pretended to be hurt, letting me go in the process.
I stepped towards the edge of the cliff, looking down below us. I could see the waves splash against the rocks.
"You won't jump or something, right?" I heard Leiftan's voice behind me.
"Don't worry, I won't give you that much paperwork. I was just looking at the side of the cliff anyway, I noticed some caves I haven't seen before. What do you think we could find there? "
"Most likely nothing, since the companions flew out from there" he pointed out.
A smile lit up on my face.
"It sounds like the perfect spot for a break then!"
"I thought you weren't tired" Leiftan teased me. "I'd prefer lying under that tree though. I know it's not as adventurous as climbing rocks, but I hope it will do. "
The sun started its journey through the sky as we settled down in the grass, my head on Leiftan's chest. Despite feeling full of energy, it felt good to relax a little in each other's arms.
No height, no depth, no fear can shake me. Held firm, your hands will never fail me.
I'm really sorry for forgetting about her, thank you
I hope this biscuit will erase my sins 🍪
happy bday to my two baes 😌
LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED
Hey guys I know this isn’t the most proper place to do this but I admittedly just want to get this going somewhere, but if any of you are able to share this it’d be greatly appreciated. My roommate recently had emergency surgery and had previously lost her job due to covid. She’s been scraping by doing commissions up till now but with the surgery and the pain she was in prior to the surgery, she’s been unable to do any work for a few weeks now.
Also if any of y’all donate submit/dm me a message with your receipt and I’ll try to draw/doodle something for you ;v;)/
Some examples of draws I’ve done —v
