Welcome!
This is a journal entry for my Follower Friday journal set.

Hello everyone, and welcome to my first themed feature journal! This week's theme is warmth, since it's so cold over here in Canada!

I have chosen a few fics from my own works and those of others that I feel fit this theme in some way. As well, a few other authors have sent in some fics based on their interpretation of the word (shoutout to rialovesfanfic for sending in like 8 fics-- it helped a ton, and thank you to everyone else as well). I know most of these fandoms quite well, and I don't know some of the others, but the pieces were all fun to read regardless.

Interested in being featured in the next journal? Check out the last section below to find out how.

Note to Writers: Please message me if you would like anything removed or changed, as you have the right to make such a request! If your fic is here, I either found it myself, or it was submitted by you or someone who liked it.

Enjoy! ♥

MY OWN FICS
   Unexpected Sunshine. (Bokuto Koutarou x Reader)For: @BlueBeauty3110 Colour: Robin Egg Blue and Magenta Character: Bokuto Koutarou Genre: Fluff, maybe a bit of angst in the beginning, but fluffy ending~~ Prompt: choices (something between the right choice and the easy choice) Word Count: 946----- listen. { }-----She steps down the cobblestone alley, rocks slick with rain and water pooling within the cracks. One magenta sweater against sidewalks full of grey raincoats; each step soaks her sneakers and socks.She's halfway around the world from home; teeth chattering, feet damp, and face wet from the tears and the downpour. She's lost with nowhere to go, so she runs. To where, ...   Relaxation. (Volkner x Reader) For: @Musicanimegamer45 Character: Volkner Colour: Denim Genre: Fluff and Romantic Additional Info: I think comfort would work and then towards the end maybe instead of going out on a date they spend it home and make some homecooking and cuddling after if that makes sense. Word Count: 837----- Though Volkner tries his best not to make a sound as he enters the bedroom, the old door and its rusty hinges creak as he pushes it slowly-- thankfully, it doesn't wake you up. You're passed out on the bed, your phone facing upwards on your chest as the ending credits of a movie scroll through the screen. A finished cup of ice...   A Place to Stay Warm. (Todoroki Shouto x Reader) Modern!AU || Spirit!AU Winter was the only season we could be together. ----- i. frozen Your heart drops as you watch the last bus of the night drive away and the battery of your phone drains to nothing in your hand.The cold nips at your nose as snow continues to pile down all around you. You're on the outskirts of town, and all the shops have closed up. Not a single car is in sight nearby, and a feeling of dread sets in the pit of your stomach. You curse yourself for not taking your friends up on their offer of splitting a cab just because they lived in the other direction and it would've cost more.Anything would be better than blindly ...

I feel that each of these fics that I've written captures the theme in a different way (though I've noticed they all have to do with being warm throughout some sort of precipitation, like snow or rain). These are a few of my more feel-good fics, so I hope they warm your heart. ♥

MY FAVES

Sail Away to the Stars. - Oikawa Tooru
Sail Away to the Stars. Oikawa Tooru Sailor/Fantasy!Au Gentle night breezes gently nudged white chiffon curtains, manipulating the fabric to dance and flutter in it's chilled puffs. Drooping e/c hues followed the curtains movements, occasionally gazing past it's sheer quality into the midnight sky, the stars' glow a touch muffled by the ever-moving ivory material. A steady heartbeat pulsed against wrinkled sheets, steady breathing creating rhythm with the consistent cadence. Lying on her stomach, arms neatly tucked against her sides, y/n waited and watched the window with intensity. Ears prickled at any sound; the air conditioning turning ...

A wonderfully ethereal fic that captures the warmth that can be found in dreams and imagination.

About the warmth on a cold, cold night, during the silence after a celebration.

Bliss | Tsukishima KeiDisclaimer: I do not own Haikyuu!! or any of the characters that are mentioned. I am not making any profit from this fic and I write purely for the love of the characters. Haikyuu!! is the property of Haruichi Furudate.Domestic!AU, inspired by this post . Honestly her tumblr is AMAZING, please go check it out if you'd like to!The daylight shone lazily, its beams dance through the blinds, but are filtered through by the sheer mint green curtains that are idly fluttering by the soft breeze.

A classic, heartwarming piece of domestic fluff. I especially love the lazy morning scene.

Heart Goes Warm | Lev HaibaLev likes when his heart goes warm.It’s a good feeling; he’s a bit lighter on his feet, he can’t hold back the smile on his face and the world’s colours are alive and bright like the god up there has put on a happiness filter and everything’s better now.Lev absolutely adores when his heart goes warm.The lucky thing is, his heart goes warm regularly and for lots of different reasons. It goes warm when Yaku praises him for the first time in a while (he starts bouncing up and down, Yaku yells at him but there’s a small grin on the libero’s face anyway). Then it goes warm at the sight of little kittens, little flower buds, little things like m...

A new, refreshing, and stunning take on the theme-- I couldn't not feature this. Even better with Lev.

Hug Me Closer // Tsukishima Kei x Reader
He’s not sure what to do when you knock on the door and you fall into his hold. Tsukishima’s arms are stiff as he braces one hand on the doorway and the wraps the other one around your shoulders. You’re pressing your face into his chest and his heart breaks as he hears your muffled sobs and the way sadness convulses through your body.   He draws his lips into a thin line, the edges of his teeth biting into them as he pulls you into the genkan and closes the door with his shoulders. His back is against the metal as he slides down onto the tiled floor, both of his arms around you. He pulls you into his lap and you limply fold into him.   ... I Guess That's a 'Yes' (America x Reader)
A capped head was bobbing past the window and up to the porch. You inhaled sharply, arms covered in soap and water, and snatched the dish towel on the counter before rushing towards the front door.You refused to believe it.He couldn't be.It was too early and he hadn't told you–But sure enough, there he stood – crisp and as handsome as ever in his officer's uniform, a few beads of sweat trickling down the sides of his face from the hot, summer sun – with a grin so wide it threatened to shatter his face.The dish towel landed in a heap by your feet, forgotten and unnoticed as you stared in wide-eyed awe at the man before you.“Al...?”Alfred gr... Carousel - England x ReaderEngland x Reader Carousel ♥ "See that?" Arthur asked, pointing out a quick streak of light in between the stars, and you nodded excitedly. "It's a falling star.""Falling?" you questioned. "B-but, why is it falling?" you sniffled, suddenly tearful. Where would the star go? Wouldn't it miss all its star-friends?"That's just what they're called, love," he said gently, tucking hair behind your ear. "There's no reason to cry about it. They say if you see one and make a wish, it will come true!"You gasped, all pity for the star now gone, and called up a wish to the night sky.He chuckled and pulled you into his lap, placing a kiss on the top of y... Three Little Words [Deaf!Armin||Mod!AU]Deaf!Armin Arlert Modern!AU             You didn’t know who was more excited for Valentine’s Day – you or Armin. But it wasn’t the chocolate and flowers that you two were excited for. No, Valentine’s Day marked of the day of Armin’s surgery to get his hearing back.     He was going to get cochlear implants; a little device implanted to replace the damaged part of the inner ear.     Armin and his friends had been saving for a while for them.     The entire two years you’d known Armin, he’d been deaf. Eren and Mikasa had tried their best to teach you sign language beforehand, so the two of you could talk when first introduced, but it was ha...
Show Me How To Be Whole Again (Eren X Reader)
When Mikasa dies saving Eren, it’s like the world is falling apart all around them as they watch the life bleed out of their best titan fighter. Without Mikasa, who would defend them all and who would show them that killing the titans with minor injury was possible? Of course , You think bitterly to yourself as Eren cradles Mikasa in his arms. The only reasons Mikasa did what she did was because of Eren. He was her life. “(Name), you’ve got to help me!” Eren cries, the tears streaming down his face and welling up in his eyes. Honestly, it’s not the prettiest look for his face. “Help me save Mikasa!”“Eren,” You start, cutting herself off s... a new home. | jean kirschtein
| i guess there's a little bit of AU in the fic. | [ i. ] To Jean, the world was already a cruel place. It got even more so when it decided to take the people he dearly loves and cherish, one by one. It had taken away his only best friend. It grieved him more to not able to see his best friend's death, nor was he beside him in his last moments. He didn’t know how he died and the image of his face will haunt him for the rest of his life. If people say that getting struck by a lightning is bad, this was worse than that, when knowing that there was no one he could share his laughter anymore. Not too long after, his Mother was taken away... But I'm Cold (Armin x Reader) ModernAUYou walked down the stairs in your favourite pyjamas, confusion etched on your face. It was almost midnight, Saturday was minutes away, and you were really tired. Friday night was usually spent cuddling with Armin in bed before falling asleep, but you couldn't find him anywhere in the house. Then again, there was one place you hadn't checked.The basement.But Armin wouldn't subject himself to the horrors of the basement, even though it was finished and there was only a couch down there for the time being. He just hated seeing the two spiders down there. He had no intention to get rid of them, though, so you couldn't think of a reason for hi... Fireman!Levi x Reader - Rekindled Embers
(AU Note: For maximum effect, listen to this ) Warning trigger: Suicide With a yank, the last strip of the parcel tape was stretched along the sides of the dirtied window, sealing the small cracks. The short statured man took a step back to inspect his work, his grey eyes passing over every inch of the glass. Satisfied that no gaps remained, he threw the parcel tape onto the brown couch. Everything was in order and waiting for him to take next step.He looked out the window and into the apartment opposite him, barely ten feet separating the two buildings. Though the layout of his unit was mirrored in that apartment, its owner had tried to ...

Chocolate Confession: Link X Reader
If you had learned one thing about Link after all these years of traveling with him, it was that he had an gargantuan sweet tooth.You had paid close attention to the young man as you both strolled through Castle Town. (And it definitely was not because you liked him!) You would watch as his gaze restlessly touched over everything in sight, examining all of the wares for sale with tireless curiosity. Even though he so-eagerly drank in his surroundings, he never stopped to admire anything up close. It was almost as if nothing meant enough for the busy hero to stop him in his tracks... Well, except for one thing.Whenever you passed by a c...

Next Journal

The next journal will be a character journal, meaning that any fic you submit must be about... Akaashi Keiji from Haikyuu!! I have been obsessing over my soft owl boi recently and would love to do a journal that's all about him. ♥

I want you to send me a note with any fics you or others have written about Akaashi by Wednesday, March 14. Any fics after that will not be accepted. I will feature a maximum of one fic per writer.

Once again, I will choose a few of my favourites, but will feature the rest of the fics in the journal (as long as it's not an outrageous number). I will also be picking some fics that I find by searching and are not submitted.

Send your Akaashi love this way! I'm super excited to read some amazing fics!

Love,
Dino. ♥
