Kiss Headcanon | M O'Connor

- M doesn’t care one way or another about PDA

- if they feel like it, they will kiss you, there are no two ways about it

- M generally kisses you carelessly, as if it’s an action just as natural, and just as fleeting, as breathing

- it’s something they grow to enjoy, for M isn’t a particularly touchy-feely kind of person

- and yet, when you’re in private (or M just wants to prove a point), said careless kisses evolve into something maddening

- M’s kis...

Kiss Headcanon | L Ahern

- L is entirely oblivious to PDA; as in, they will not hesitate in the least to kiss you in public if they feel like it

- it’s not like they do it to tease you (though seeing you blush by being caught off guard is quite an endearing reaction), they just forget other people are around when they focus on you

- they’re usually harmless, quick kisses

- a kiss on your head, your hand, your cheek, your nose, your forehead, a quick peck… L will take any and all of them

...

Kiss Headcanon | J Kim

- It’s not that J is entirely against PDA or is embarrassed of you, it’s just very complicated given your current work arrangement

- that’s the only reason J doesn’t steal a kiss from you at every corner you turn on the streets

- but oh how they wish they could

- and trust me, J more than makes up for it when you two are alone (unless you’re being particularly infuriating, in which case they will refuse to give in… at first)

- J’s kisses are like...

Kiss Headcanon | A Smith

- A isn’t the biggest fan of PDA out there, but they love surprising you with playful, unexpected kisses

- a sudden kiss on your cheek when they walk past you, a lazy forehead kiss in the morning while they drink coffee, a rushed kiss on your lips before you part ways for a job

- there are few things A enjoys more than kissing you, and while they’re not particularly fond of people watching you two kiss, it’s not like they’re paying much attention to others while doing it 2021-05-23 23:10:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Full Dive | Chapter One

I live! 

Well, sort of. I don't want to bum anyone out with my problems so I won't delay on it, but it's been a battle. I've been this close to a full out burnout this week and I hadn't been able to write at all this whole month or even had the time/strength to reply people, and I'm really sorry for that. I didn't mean for it to happen, guys. 😔

On brighter news! I finally managed to write a little something tonight, just a very short story on an...

Insufferable | Nick x MC

tw: dubcon (sorta), mild choking

---

“Oh, please. You’re not actually mad at me for that, are you?” Nick asks you with a mocking laugh.

He’s been insufferable all day long. He outsmarted you in a small job and made you look like a fool, yet all he’s done since is laugh and tease while he followed you around until you made it back to your hotel room--a room he slipped in faster than you could close the door, obviously.

You wouldn’t purposefully let ...

The End | N x MC (Preview)

Here's a quick preview of the next short story I'm working on as a warmup whenever I need to get the creative juices going for some Ace of Spades writing.

Yes, it's the breakup scene. One of the many possibilities of how it went down: MC gets *sad*. I'm thinking of calling it The One Where MC Suffers, but we shall refer to it as The End for now to make things easier LMAO

I should make it a series: The One Where MC Goes Apeshit, The One Where MC Chills and The One Where MC...

Monthly Sneak Peek #2 | Ace of Spades

As the second monthly sneak peek, here we have one of the possibilities of banter for forger!MCs on their first scene, staring M and a sarcasm heavy MC.

But don't worry! There are variations for other personalities as well. Charming, genuine, intimidating... you name it ;)

Monthly Sneak Peek | Ace of Spades

To wrap up the month I'm sharing a quick sneak peek of the already coded part of thief!MC's first scene of the upcoming update, staring N with a side of M loving for that MC who just can't get enough of flirting around ehe

Decided to share a screenshot of it because Patreon text posts aren't very script friendly :(

Festive Longing

I wrote this one for my friend and editor-in-simp a while back using one of her OCs and one of mine back when he was still an RO for another cog idea I had. The idea is back in the freezer and so is he, but I grew attached to this story soooo here it is! 

A bit of yearning to start the week the right way.

Dry leaves crack under my shoes as I lean against an old oak on the outskirts of the lake. It’s the closest place to the festival that’s still hidden by the sh...

Weekly Update

Remember when I said the next update would be roughly 10k words? So. I was so wrong. Sooooo wrong... rip me :D

Turns out the first 4 scenes (a branch that depends on your criminal specialization) are about 4k words each, which leads to a whooping 16k words for the first scenes only. I hit the 10k mark today when I hit about halfway of the muscle!MC scene, and I still need to write the hacker!MC scene in its entirety--but thief and forger are done!

So yes, I'm all over the...

White Day Headcanons | High School AU

Hey everyone! Happy White Day for you all 🥰

I'm not a stranger to creating AUs for my characters to see how they'd fit in each universe and then self indulging with random headcanons for them; and the Ace of Spades ROs are no exception for that.

This morning I was scrolling through twitter (as usual) and being beautifully fed by all the Chilumi & Co art on my feed when I learned today is White Day, and all my fangirling brain could think of was: how would the Ace of Spades ...

Character Lore | Nicole Hunter

My fingers dance on the keys from the piano in front of me. It’s a mindless motion, a routine my body is so used to doing that I hardly realize I’m doing it; it’s just a natural reflex after one of those dreams, like breathing.

Stupid dreams. Out of fucking nowhere to top it off.

The thing about nights like this is that I can’t focus. I can’t focus on work or planning, and it’s too late for me to go out to a bar to find someone to distract me.

With a sigh, I clos...

A warm up turned into a 1k long short story

I usually try to write something quick to get the brain juices flowing before getting into what I actually intend to write, and sometimes it gets out of hand because my playlist gets me going and I end up with a 1000 words long scene..... like tonight dfhjkshfs

This is one of the many many many different ideas I have for the start of my next COG (because my brain works on hyperdrive 24/7). It's very rough and unpolished since I'm completely focused on Ace of Spades and have har...

Limits | Jessica x MC

“What made you think it was a good idea to touch me like that during the briefing?” Jessica growls in your ear.

Her body is flush against yours, a scorching line of toned curves that burns your skin even through the layers of clothes between you two. Were you in any other place, you would’ve already turned around and shut her harsh lips with yours -- but you’re at the office.

More specifically, you’re in her office. Both of you occupying a hidden corner of a bac...

“What made you think it was a good idea to touch me like that during the briefing?” Joshua growls in your ear.

His body is flush against yours, a scorching line of toned muscle that burns your skin even through the layers of clothes between you two. Were you in any other place, you would’ve already turned around and shut his harsh lips with yours -- but you’re at the office.

More specifically, you’re in his office. Both of you occupying a hidden corner of a back...

Long Overdue Update

HEY EVERYONE!

First of all, I'd like to thoroughly apologize for being radio silent these past few weeks. I'm going through some brain stuff and I just couldn't write or be social for the life of me 😔 and I had to push through and work my hardest to get you all the latest update for A6 as well, so I was.... struggling kjdhjkashda

I'm really, really sorry. I don't want to go into details but I'm better now, and I will do my damn best to reply to everyone everywhere ever...

Character Lore | Jessica Kim

“And how’s your love life? Got anyone you’re gonna bring home for Christmas? But wait, you’re too young to settle down. Are you even going out to enough parties, Jess?”

An endless onslaught of questions spills from my sister’s lips faster than the faucet in front of me spills water as I rinse the plate in my hands. I roll my eyes with an exaggerated sigh; doesn’t she get tired of questioning me with the same questions every time we meet?

Still, it doesn’t completel...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi everyone!

Hope you're having a great day, and that it's filled with love and joy (even if you're by your lonesome, like yours truly sdjkfhskjdf). I'll be posting again later today to share a nice update on the AoS, but I took a short break from working on it to share a Valentine's little something first :D

These are some short, cheesy and sorta-sweet poems the ROs would write in their sweet valentine cards for MC, and it gives a little bit of insight in how their routes will be...

Character Art | M O'Connor

Now who do we have here, it's them! That Bastard-- I mean, Matthew and Melissa :)

I've commissioned Deli (@deli-cious-arts on tumblr), who some of you might know as the character artist from A6, to draw some portraits for the Ace of Spades ROs for a little something I have planned that I'll get into detail later on, so I thought these would be a great first sample to give you all!

The description I gave her for them involved the words "super rich and handsome sno...

Unexpected advice | bff!Nic x Jmancing!MC

A near silent shuttle of a camera goes off around the corner, confirming my suspicions, and I quickly make my way to the other side of the rooftop, towards a figure cloaked in black by the edge.

Nic’s changed so little over the years, it’s almost uncanny how youthful she still looks. She’s dressed for a job tonight; black pants and a black, long-sleeved turtleneck that almost seems to become one with her dark hair. A figure so well-hidden in the dark night that anyone else would p...

February's Character Lore

Hey everyone!

As you all already know, January was very..... bad for me, so I was away a lot and for that, I apologize. Somehow, I still managed to release an update to the demo before the end of the month, so that's good.

On a brighter note, I am all better now (really, even cleared to start working out again tomorrow!), so I'm planning out all the content I want to release here on Patreon this upcoming month, and I'd like your input on it :)

Legcuffs | JessicaxMC

My eyes flutter closed as the brush slides down the back of my head, with a warm, gentle hand following its path, smoothing down my hair.

“Will you hold your head still?” Jess huffs behind me in bed, putting down the brush on the side table. “It’s not going to look good unless you let work here.”

I smile, opening my eyes when her legs wrap around me, holding me down while she starts brushing my hair with her fingers. “I’m sure it’s going to look great. Besides, I c...

Hi everyone!

First of all, I'm sorry for being away for the past week. I had to go through a minor surgery so I was pretty out of sorts after it, my weak ass stomach can't handle pain meds kjsdhfkjs

I am much better now and ready to get back to work, and before the procedure I managed to get an additional 2...
