— Virginia Woolf

itafushi first love, late spring (please drop everything and read this now it is my heart. my soul) here and where you are (amnesia au. it's dripping tears) the bull and the china shop (very cute!! pining omg) if i could swallow the sun (very beautiful prose) in the eaves of a home we will never own (this made me cry with no dialogue and less than 2k words) there will be time (fuck t. s. eliot, the essay) (Lots Of Pining)
satosugu aperture (very underrated) His One and Only (what if geto gets his body back?) maneater (10k of heart tugging prose) DERIVATIVES (breathtaking second person prose) i bet you kiss your knuckles right before they touch my cheek (pure PAIN)

responses to someone who punched you
Responses to Being Punched
-> feel free to edit as you see fit.
"What the shit, dude?"
"You're going to have to hit a little harder if you want to do some real damage."
"This isn't a fair fight."
"I'm giving you one last chance to walk away."
"This is about to get ugly."
"If [Name] wasn't here right now, you'd be dead."
"Just wait."
"Punch me again, see what happens."
"Wow."
"Jesus Christ, are you wearing brass knuckles?"
"When the cops show up, you're going to tell them that you started this."
"You're dead."
"Woah, woah, woah, let's not jump to any extremes."
"What did I do?"
"Um, ow."
"I probably deserved that."
"I think you broke my nose."
"Was that a 'hey, buddy, how are you?' kind of punch or a 'I'm about to mess you up' kind of punch?"
"Whatever you think I did, I didn't do it."
"Well, I don't think I deserved that."
"You hit surprisingly hard."
"That felt like being kissed by a butterfly, are you serious right now?"
"I guess you're waiting for me to apologize?"
"If that's your way of saying sorry, I don't think it's going to work."
thinking about jeff buckley being asked, "how do you want to be remembered?" and answering with, "as a good friend."

coiling (up in a ball, in on themselves, against something, etc)
panting (there’s a slew of adjectives you can put after this, my favorites are shakily, weakly, etc)
keeling over (synonyms are words like collapsing, which is equally as good but overused in media)
trembling/shivering (additional adjectives could be violently, uncontrollably, etc)
sobbing (weeping is a synonym but i’ve never liked that word. also love using sob by itself, as a noun, like “he let out a quiet sob”)
whimpering (love hitting the wips with this word when a character is weak, especially when the pain is subsiding. also love using it for nightmares/attacks and things like that)
clinging (to someone or something, maybe even to themselves or their own clothes)
writhing/thrashing (maybe someone’s holding them down, or maybe they’re in bed alone)
crying (not actual tears. cry as in a shrill, sudden shout)
dazed (usually after the pain has subsided, or when adrenaline is still flowing)
wincing (probably overused but i love this word. synonym could be grimacing)
doubling-over (kinda close to keeling over but they don’t actually hit the ground, just kinda fold in on themselves)
heaving (i like to use it for describing the way someone’s breathing, ex. “heaving breaths” but can also be used for the nasty stuff like dry heaving or vomiting)
gasping/sucking/drawing in a breath (or any other words and phrases that mean a sharp intake of breath, that shite is gold)
murmuring/muttering/whispering (or other quiet forms of speaking after enduring intense pain)
hiccuping/spluttering/sniffling (words that generally imply crying without saying crying. the word crying is used so much it kinda loses its appeal, that’s why i like to mix other words like these in)
stuttering (or other general terms that show an impaired ability to speak — when someone’s in intense pain, it gets hard to talk)
staggering/stumbling (there is a difference between pain that makes you not want to stand, and pain that makes it impossible to stand. explore that!)
recoiling/shrinking away (from either the threat or someone trying to help)
pleading/begging (again, to the threat, someone trying to help, or just begging the pain to stop)
