Pairing: Johnny Storm x Chlorokinesis!Reader
Summary: You had deluded yourself into thinking that you could push down everything you felt for Johnny into a dark pit and never think of it again. The feelings you buried just grew and sprouted in new ways, though, returning like weeds. No matter how many you pulled and ripped out of the ground, they came back.

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

Ong ‘fragility in perfection’ was so good and definitely needs a part 2. I can already feel Johnny becoming irrationally jealous of her with other men, only wants her to work with him on the daily and falling in love
Thank you, Anon! I’m cooking up a bunch of ideas for Part 2, and we will definitely be getting a bit of jealous Johnny 😅.
