I am proud to present the Botanical Gardens. Here you will find the lush plant life we offer to visitors and savants alike. Please, before you enter the large glass doors and gaze upon the new flora we have to offer, do take a quick read through The Visitors Handbook - it’s essential to fully understand the rich environment the lead botanist has worked so hard to cultivate! And, while you’re at it, if you come to take an interest into what the lead botanist here truly is like, take a look into The Lead Botanist’s Biography! She is open and excited to make friends with those who are passionate about the certain types of flowering and growing plants in the Gardens. Please, do be patient with her though. As she is emerging into the field a tad younger than most, currently in the summer in between her junior and senior year of high school, she is working hard to balance her responsibilities, both the ones in school and the ones here in the Gardens! And now, after reading this and leafing through the pages of The Visitors Handbook, we open the big glass doors to the Botanical Gardens. Please enjoy your time here - don’t be afraid to stop and smell the roses!

Request by @luluwiie: how about Y/N helping Shouto (deliberately or not) to discover Christmas magic, and for the first time enjoy some good moments during Christmas time ? As they're still only-close-friends-but-secretely-pining-on-each-other, you know *^* Cause Pining. I love pining. Secret crush FTW

A/N: Oh we're so back. Thank you so much for the request @luluwiie you are the absolute best. I'm so serious about that, you never fail to have the loveliest requests and sweetest words. Happy holidays to everyone who celebrates, and enjoy!!!

There seemed to be some kind of energy in the air – one that seemed to have wired every single one of Shouto Todoroki’s classmates into becoming a strangely more happy version of themselves. That was, of course, not to say that his classmates weren’t usually happy, they absolutely were, but during this time of year it was next level.

Taking in the scene before him, all he could really do was people-watch. Iida, if one could believe, was almost relaxed – leaning back in one of the chairs in the dorm living room and reading a book with a calm smile. A group of some of the girls, including Yaoyorozu, Jirou, and Uraraka, were trying their best to construct gingerbread houses. Even with the extra bags of icing Yaoyorozu created with her quirk, the walls kept falling down. But, even with each collapse of the houses, the girls just smiled, shook their heads, and tried again. Even Bakugou, against all odds, almost had a twitch of a genuine smile on his face as he bounced around the kitchen baking cookies, marinating several dishes for the night’s dinner, and prepping produce for the following morning.

The monotonous thrum of his heart rate monitor was the single thing Shoto could ground himself with. His eyesight was blurry, his sense of self shaky, and his skin was raw – like all of his nerves were exposed to the world. Shifting his arms was not an option, as with every adjustment he made the bandages would dig into his burned flesh.

Where his body was in shambles, stitched together by dexterous but rushed medical attention, his mind was frayed. It did not help that he’s been in isolation for hours upon hours, bedridden and left alone to his thoughts. And those thoughts were anything but rosy.

Your body was cold, but your hand was warm as snow began to lightly fall. It was December in Musutafu, one of your favorite times of the year. The city just seemed to hold an all encompassing sort of glow – while the days became shorter, the lights burned brighter. Children all around were cradling carefully crafted snowballs in their hands, all the while ducking behind bushes and trees in order to get the jump on their friends. Garlands filled with ruby red ornaments adorned the streetlamps, menorahs were displayed in window sills, and holiday cheer was in full swing. And, holding your hand, your boyfriend.

Turning your head to the right, you find Shoto Todoroki keeping perfect pace with you. He looked perfectly content – his lapel jacket and scarf providing the little warmth he needed. He wasn’t even wearing gloves, but you knew that was because he was holding your hand. Using his quirk, he was able to keep your right hand nice and toasty, relieving the chill that tended to creep down your spine every time you exited your apartment.

Hello everyone!

I wanted to give this little update because keeping you all in the loop is important to me. I have loved writing and updating this blog for the past few years and getting support and interacting with so many of you have brought me such joy :,). 

However lately, I’ve been feeling super unmotivated and discouraged when it comes to creating an idea, spending time developing it, and eventually, posting whatever works its way onto the page. I am so thankful to those of you who have supported me in likes, reblogs and in the comments. Recently, though, the ratio of likes to any source of feedback or reaction has been staggeringly large. Again, I am so incredibly thankful to everyone who has taken the time to read and like any of my works, but what I really cherish is interaction. 

It is always nice to hear and see that my work is appreciated. However, what motivates me and pushes me to create more is hearing your thoughts, opinions, and suggestions. I have tried to really push through what I regard as writer’s block or I guess me just being uncreative, but when it comes down to it, I think I’m just exhausted of trying to find things to write about.

This is not to say that I’m completely abandoning this blog or am stopping writing. I am still incredibly passionate about seeing or hearing something that inspires to me create. But, with the start of college and my limited time, any posts will most likely be varied and far apart -- especially if I am trying to come up with individual posts.

That being said, requests are open!!! I am always so thrilled to see requests in my inbox and, referencing bak to this post, I LOVE the interaction!! If you are making a request, I simply ask that you refer to the guidelines -- they are located on the pinned post (my nav) on my page!

Again, I am so incredibly thankful to each and every one of you. I look forward to posting when I can.

All my love!! <3 Songbird

Heart Eyes

❀ Back to Navigation ❀   ❀ Top Gun Masterlist ❀

Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw x F!Reader

WARNINGS: Just Fluff <3

Summary: For his whole life, Rooster has had one special, defining feature - his heart eyes. Full of such love and adoration for so many things, he’s been told and teased countless times by his mother and friends for them. So when you, the niece of Penny Benjamin, walk into a garden party where he and his top gun buddies have been invited to with a smile on your face and the sweetest personality to boot? How can he help it - he just has heart eyes for you.

A/N: Idkkkk I had this idea and kinda loved it. Now, 2.8K words later, it’s all written and done! As always, I appreciate comments, constructive criticism, and support, so let me know what you think! Requests are open <3. Enjoy!!!!

It had been a part of Bradley for as long as he could remember. Other kids had defining characteristics to them – dimples on their cheeks, a buck-toothed grin, maybe even the cutest button nose to date. But Bradley, oh little Bradley, he has heart eyes. With so much love in his heart, his big, brown doe eyes would fill with so much compassion and adoration for things that he couldn’t keep it in him. He wore his heart on his sleeve and his love in his eyes.

His mother always used to tell him that he had them whenever his babysitter, Audrey, would watch him for the night. She was a high schooler who lived close by, always willing to lend a helping hand to Mrs. Bradshaw and her son. Bradley saw her as the prettiest girl alive – long hair, a kind grin, and always happy to let him talk to her about his new action figures.

“Oh honey, you’ve got heart eyes.” Is what she would always say, grabbing his chin gently and giving him a nose kiss. He’d blush and duck his head away, trying to hide the fact that he was utterly infatuated with his babysitter.

“No I don’t,” Bradley would protest, “She’s just nice, that’s all.” Sensing her son’s embarrassment, she’d switch topics quickly and let him show her how he organized his model planes. But anyone could see the way his eyes transformed when his babysitter would walk through the door and give him a big hug.

Frost Kisses

Steve Harrington x F!Reader

WARNINGS: Just pure fluff, Spoilers for S2 EP9

Summary: Having to be a chaperone for the Snow Ball was not in your evening plans, not at all. However, as you’re greeting the middle schoolers and making sure they get in safely, you run into Steve Harrington, your best friend, dropping off Dustin. It’s cold and icy everywhere, but thankfully, Steve is there to lend a helping hand.

A/N: Frost Kisses? Get it? Instead of Frost Bites? It’s 1:10 am I gotta go to bed. Enjoy <3

Looking at your reflection in the mirror, all you wanted to do was rip off what you were wearing and slide into a warm pair of pajamas. A bowl of popcorn could have been on your bed, drizzled with butter and sprinkled with salt, and Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom could have been on your small television screen. Instead, you were dressed in a ruffled blue dress with puffed sleeves that your mom had bought for you at the department store about an hour away.

The shoes were uncomfy, the dress made noise when you moved, and the necklace around your neck felt like it was choking you. Your hair was pulled and tugged at it in all different directions and your shoes were pinching your feet so much that you were sure that each toe would be covered in blisters.

“Y/N, would you come downstairs darling? If you’re going to grab a ride with me on my way to Karen’s this evening, we need to go now!” Sighing, you frowned at yourself in the mirror, swiped one last layer of lip gloss on, and shoved the tube in your clutch. You took the stairs one foot at a time and very carefully, trying to not trip over yourself. Gasping, your mother watched you come into view, instantly grabbing her polaroid and snapping a picture. You blinked away the bright flash and grimaced.

Thank you so much for you request as part of the 1000 followers celebration! It is now up and you can find it by clicking HERE !

Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw x F!Reader

WARNINGS: Just Fluff <3

Request by Anonymous: can you write a rooster fic where the reader and him buy a new puppy and give it a bath… i dunno basically just pure fluff!!!! 

Summary: You and Rooster have just adopted a new Australian shepherd puppy and have to give it a bath... a touch of chaos insues.

A/N: Thank you so much for the first request for my 1000 followers celebration! Also -- nothing about the reader p.o.v. was specified, so I just had the reader be Swan Song from Birds of a Feather! 

This was a bunch of fun to write and I hope you enjoy!

A content smile was all you could wear as you sat in the passenger seat of Bradley’s baby blue Bronco, feeling the warm wind on your face. You always loved car rides in his car – it made you feel like you were in a movie, set for a summer release. But this time? This time it was just made all the more better by the puppy asleep in your arms. Her little head was nestled into the crook of your arm and her belly was rising up and down, snoozing away.

“How’s she doing?” Your boyfriend’s voice brings you out of the trance your new Australian shepherd had so innocently lulled you into. Turning, you look at Rooster’s face. His eyes were hidden behind Raybans and most definitely on the road in front of you, but you could tell he so desperately wanted to look at his new dog.

1000 Followers Celebration

I would like to start this off by saying thank you, so so much for 1K followers. When I started writing on this platform, I had no idea I would ever even have 10 followers, let alone 1,000. I just loved to write and thought, hey, wouldn’t it be a fun idea if I posted it? Now, here I am, with so much support and love that it makes me want to cry and scream and yell and laugh with so much happiness. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Now onto the celebrations! My requests have been closed for a little bit, so they are opening back up now! Below, I will include some of the fandoms I write for and the guidelines for requests. If you have any questions, comments, or just want to chat, please say hello in the comments below and I’ll try and respond to the best of my ability! Also, if you would like to be on a taglist for certain fandoms or characters, let me know that as well! You will be notified when a new fic regarding that character or fandom is posted, so you never have to worry about missing one!

So please, enjoy, and hit me with those requests! <3, Songbird

Fandoms I write for!

- Top Gun

- Stranger Things

- AOT

- MHA

Request Guidelines!

1. I do not write anything nsfw

2. I might choose not to write if I am uncomfortable with the subject matter you request, for example, hangovers or the intake of alcohol since I am underage and don’t want to assume anything about that experience! I will definitely message you, letting you know if I can’t fulfill your request <3

3. If you want the fic to be a specific gender (male, female, non-binary, gender neutral, etc.) please let me know! I try my best to make my ‘x reader’ fics gender neutral, but sometimes I default to she/her pronouns, so just let me know!

4. There is a limit of one character per fic. Please specify which character you want me to write for!

5. I will try my best to write and post the requests in a timely manner, but requests sometimes pile up and I have a job, so there will be instances in which it takes a little longer to finish a work, so please be patient! I will not forget about the requests.

6. Have fun!
