#PEOPLE DONT STRIKE FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES THEY ONLY STRIKE WHEN THINGS ARE SO BAD THEY CANNOT WORK UNDER THE TERMS ANYMORE

Its so weird that whenever people strike, people immediately start blaming the strikers for the casualties (janitors, catering, other professionals tha wont be able to work) instead of the corporations that are the reason theyre striking. Im sorry that you dont think people have the right to strike and negotiate, but why is it fair to place the blame on people that are also being exploited instead of the people that could have ended the strike MONTHS AGO. They're the ones prelonging it

This was a fucking piss take your manager was an asshole! You huffed about the office still trying to process the stupidity he just fucking spouted at you. You moved to the ladies room phone in hand ready to vent locking yourself in a stall fingers poised to rant in a long ass text message but you froze. Henry was home well at the gym to be more specific. He was over the moon having just snagged the role of Geralt of Rivia and had been working tirelessly on bulking up for the role especially now that he was getting the dates for shooting. You paused taking a deep breath. No. You cant vent to him and ruined his day to. You growled and moved leaving the bathroom slamming the door thankful that you only had another hour, at least the prick had the decency to wait until the end of the day.
You through your phone down into the bag sitting at your desk for a few moments. You cast your eyes over the computer screen seeing the little bimbo...His little bimbo Stacey there was an office romance between your asshat of a manager and this little blonde. She ran about the office in small tight skirts hair immaculate and thick makeup smeared across her face and fuck me glasses that were an accessory not prescription like yours. She had a snug fitted blouse and pencil skirt on flitting about the office in some dangerous looking heels. More feminine? Was you supposed to jump up and say 'yes sir of course Sir, anything to keep this job sir' then flutter your lashes at him?.
Fuck that, and fuck this be more feminine bullshit, there was no written dress code and as far as things had gone you were doing your job pretty damn well and you didn't need heels to do it!
You scowled seeing the blonde slip out followed by your manager it mus be time fore their discrete get away a make out in the copier room...How original. You sighed clicking your mouse scanning through the next lot of appointments...No more today but there was a shit tonne tomorrow. You sighed getting down...Was your job really on the line over skirts,  makeup and heels? Sure you were on probation but they couldn't sack you for breaking a non existent dress code...Could they.honestly you wouldn't put it past Dave he seemed to have some fucked up traditional views.
Your attention was quickly drawn down to your phone buzzing you smiled seeing it was Henry quickly tapping the notification.
'Bbe you still at the office?? Miss you! 😘😘' You smiled softly heaving a deep breath then began typing.
'Yep still here not for long though finish in 1hr thank god 😘😘 u 2 at the gym still??' You sent the text and got a reply pretty quick you smiled he must have left the gym to reply so quick. Your thoughts wandered a daydream of the huge glorious man puffed out and sweaty ugh yes that's what you needed right now your man to just ruin you fuck the stress and doubt right out of you!. Your eyes scanned the new text he had sent pulljng you out of your raunchy thoughts.
'No just left walking Kal around the park he got a bit excited need to wear him out, so have a good day?'
'😂 good luck with that. And its been okay...G2g shopping after apparently I need to dress more feminine😒😒 so will be home late' You frowned hearing the two love birds enter the office again wrapped up around one another professionally you rolled your eyes as the blonde pulled away from your manager giggling and made her way to the computer opposite you instantly reaching for her compact mirror trying to correct the smeared lipstick across her face. Your phone pinged and you looked down face lighting up a little seeing the anger emojis. Henry felt the same ass you.
'😡😡🤬WTF? wats tht sppsd 2 mean?' you cringed maybe you should have just kept your mouth shut but it was too late now you sighed trying to placate him.
'I need to wear skirts and shit...be an office bimbo no big deal🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ just get a few skirts thts all' you typed back his reply was immediate almost as if he'd been typing the same time as you. Wincing you prepared yourself for the worse, Henry was a very protective man and you knew he hated the whole gender roles thing.
'😡😡You dnt need makeup and shit!! ur gorgeous dnt u listen to that wanker!! Can't u leave early?? Say ur going shopping?? Just get out of there! please love dnt let this get 2 u!!🥺🥺 I love u, ur perfect!!😍😘😘😍' You grinned got flushing rereading the words a warmth in your chest. You knew that he meant every word. Stacey looked over with a smirk snapping the compact shut and pointed a false nail in your direction.
"Oh? Is that a blush? Who are you texting? Someone cute?" You flicked your eyes up to her you didn't have anything against her per say but you were different people, she was all Instagram, kardashians and trending and you were all gaming, books and cosy pajamas. You never really spoke to her if you could help it.
"Err yeah...My boyfriend" you admitted looking down seeing another text from him. Another round of compliments and reassuring words lit up your screen.
'I mean it bbe I know u! dnt beat urself up over it! Dont u let him get 2 u!😘😘' you smiled softly yes he did know you and he knew this had not only made you angry but also insecure. You thought you looked good at work you always made a point to look 'put together' but it wasn't enough?
"Ooo was that him again? You never told me you had a boyfriend! Is he new? How long have you been together? What does he do? Whats he saying!?" You gulped as she got up quickly scuttling around the desk as fast as she could in her heels and skirt.
"We've been together a few years...He's just asking me to leave early and catch diner with him but I don't think Dave would like that..." Stacey's face lit up and she beamed at you. She was happy to have something else to gossip about.
"Oh! that’s so sweet~ he wants to steal you away for dinner! You know I wish Dave would do that but he only really pays attention to me at work....So does this sweet mystery man have a name?" You looked up at her tilting your phone away a little so she didn't see Henry's on going threats of 'coming down there and teaching Dave some manners by ripping his tongue out his ass' you shook your head as you caught the ass end of a long text full of emojis...You sort of regret teaching him the meanings of them....Was that an eggplant in the middle?.
"Henry...His name is Henry and he's an actor" Stacey squealed cupping her face completely excited for some reason.
"Oh that's so cute! You know its always you shy ones that nab yourselves the boho guys...You know I always wanted to date the 'boho' type myself but never did, they were all to....Just not my type I like clean cut guys, you know ones who fill out a suit" You squinted what the fuck was she getting at? You schooled your features standing taller quickly and made your own little dig.
"Like Dave?" she flushed and nodded excitedly missing the whole sarcastic droll over your words. She clapped her hands completely missing the fact you were poking fun at the scrawny 'stud' sleazeball who Henry could easily snap over his thigh if he wanted to.
"Yes just like my Dave~! Ugh anyway do you have a pic...Come ooon! Let me see your man~" you sighed tilting your head to her...She was pretty harmless...And dippy so it shouldn't do any harm she didn't strike you as the type of person to watch Henry's movies so shouldn't recognize him. You nodded sweetly it was actually a little fun you rarely got to show off your man,  most people who knew him knew you were dating. You twisted the phone eying the screen and froze seeing the last texts he sent you whilst you spoke to Stacey.
'Have you got out early??🧐🧐'
'Babe don't ignore me!😤😤 Is he still there!?😡'
'Woman you better answer me! Stop ignoring me bbe it wont help😤😤'
'Im serious y/n do I need to chat with him? Do you want me to help?🧐🧐'
'Look out the window'
"Oh hell no!" you huffed out under your breath then stood up scrabbling to the large office window Stacey followed you alarmed. You freaked and quickly opened the window poking your head out to scream at your sweet but very dappy boyfriend. As irritated as the texts were he didn't look it, well until you really looked he was tense and it wasn't just because Kal was puling excitedly.
"Oh my god?! HENRY?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!....GET OUT OF THE GOD DAMNED ROAD!!" lone behold when you looked down you saw Henry standing there with a huge bouquet of Roses and a bag you suspected held a box of chocolates, Kal was barking up at you spinning in circles and jumping up super excited almost dragging the huge man over in all the excitement. It would seem the walk was not enough to wear out the bear. Henry grinned up at you you heard Stacey from beside you gasp.
"Holy shit is that your boyfriend??" you turned to her and smiled smugly to her nodding then glanced back down to him seeing him quickly navigate the people bustling around the car park heading for the doors. You froze. You can't let him up here he sounded angry earlier...He'd kill Dave. You ran back to your desk quickly logging off the pc and snatching up your bag.
"Where do you think your going y/n?" Dave called after you you stopped seeing him there arms crossed giving you the filthiest look he could muster seeing your bag slung over your arm then there was the distinct buzzing of someone Henry at the door trying to be buzzed in. You pointed to the door opening our mouth to fake sickness or something but was interrupted.
"Oh Dave leave her alone...All the times she's here early let her go early for once, we don't need her anymore today and it means we get the office to ourselves for an hour~" your eyes bugged out as Stacey came to your aid fluttering her lashes to your manager. He heaved a sigh and nodded to the door in a 'get out of here' motion.
Tumblr media
You smiled quickly darting out down the stairs to the ground floor seeing Henry standing there unimpressed finger holding the button down in one long irritating ring. You shook your head at him through the glass as he held the button.
You slapped the exit button opening the door and Henry tried darting past you into the building chest puffed shoulders ready to give your boss a piece of his mind but you caught the frightening man by his ridiculous bulging bicep. You spun with him digging your heels into the worn carpet.
"No no no! Henry no!" he carried on to the stairs dragging you with him passing you the roses and Kal's lead as the dog bounced around you both yipping like the over excited pup he was. Henry had hoped filling your hands would give him time to jump up a few steps out of your reach so he could have a chat with Dave about this whole misogynistic bullshit. Henry swore when you scampered behind him hooking your arms around his forearm and leant back, if he moved you'd drop like a rock and up the few steps as you both were, you'd hurt yourself. He stopped heaving a deep sigh looking to you.
"Just five minuet's babe is all I need! fucking feminine my ass he just wants to oogle your peach of an ass!! And that's not- that ass is mine!! fucking no one NO ONE fucking upsets my baby!" Your body flushed skin prickling at the shear alpha tone the possessive growl that seeped into his words made you tremble swallowing dryly you managed to shake it off and focused on the task at hand fucking could come later for now you needed to stop him from ripping your manager a new one. You moved crouching down bearing your weight down giggling at him as he still tried to thunder up the stairs. Kal helped to pulling at his lead it was a joint effort.
"Henn love?! I'll be sacked if you go up there and make Dave piss himself! Please lets just go home it's Friday I can find a few things over the week end for now can we please leave" he stopped and looked up to the brown ceiling and flickering light sigh he clicked his tongue then looked to you slowly with a heavy breath.
"....Fine, but next time I'm having him!" you smiled finding his protective side arousing your tummy clenching just knowing you big strong man could rinse the little twat upstairs made your pussy clench you always had a thing about strong men and Henry was the most physically fit you'd ever met. You somehow managed to coax him out of the door in the direction of home taking a detour picking up a Chinese on the way.
You giggled rolling around the floor with Kal. after a quiet dinner and snuggle with Henry you had been ushered away so he could do his nightly reading of his new script.You didn't mind at all you loved seeing him so invested in his roles. you caught a glimpse of the red roses sitting proudly in a glass vase on the fireplace almost blocking the view of the tv but not quite. You loved this, just being home with your favorite boys enjoy a nice quiet night in. you scoffed mocking kal who was pulling hard on the black rope trying to out witt you with quick flicks of his head, playing tug with Kal was a workout huge as he was he had the weight and strength to out match even Henry. You did not stand a chance just holding onto the black rope hoping to slow him down but he was full of energy today.
Henry was sitting on the sofa feet up reading his witcher script pen in hand as he read his page, one a night was the deal. But honestly trying to pull him away from this particular script was a hell of a job fair enough he was trying to memorize lines and scribble down alternatives in the margins. It was sweet how excited he got, he already knew the character in and out so could already tweak things around so it felt like Geralt. He was happy had been chasing the role for a while so you didn't mind that preparing for it was taking up most of his time. but you were still horny from earlier and wouldn't complain to a night of nooky. But alas Henry was drawn in by the script and you were trying to find other ways to distract yourself from the bubbling arousal in your loins, like playing with Kal. But that’s not to say you wasn't going to tease your man, there were ways to get his attention~
You smirked putting a plan into action bending lower wriggling your ass, craning back so your shorts rode up just that little bit more. Then once in place you squealed loud gaining the mans attention as Kal tugged dragging you across the floor growling playfully bouncing his weight back jerking you around, it was only then that Henry grunted in annoyance, your voice had been high he loved you keeping Kal entertained he really did, but sometimes he needed a little quiet. Especially when he was trying to concentrate.
"You know if I keep this up I'll have bigger muscles then you~" you giggled out a you tried to hold your own against the mighty bear. Henry smiled and watched shaking his head as Kal dragged you under his legs to the free space on the side of the coffee table. As much as he was trying to concentrate you could never get on his nerves for long, he just loved you to damn much. Henry frowned as you were pulled again wincing anticipating an accident as Kal was definitely getting to invested in the game.
"Or a dislocated shoulder" he commented as Kal did another particularly painful looking shunt and shook his head side to side still growling loud around the toy. It was then that he looked at you properly and what he saw made the man pause and suck in a breath air getting trapped in his throat at the innocently erotic sight. Seeing you bent over any time was a pleasure but here and now? Bouncing deliciously on your knees being half dragged about the living room added another dimension to the whole thing. Your arms and back stretched out low on the floor spine arched slightly, sitting with your knees tucked under you, the bouncing making your ass jump deliciously.
Two full ass cheeks peeking out of you short shorts as Kal carried on his jerky movements. You bit your lip grunting and tugged back pulling with all your might successfully gaining a few inches which Kal stole back and more making you yelp and moan as you were sprawled out on the carpet again. This time dragged up on your knees into a position he he spent many nights enjoying to his fullest. were you doing this on purpose? he wouldn't put it past you...Maybe you needed a fuck, a proper fuck.
Henry couldn't help the twitching in his groin, the first tremors as he got a front row seat to the two perfect globes of your ass seemingly clapping against one another with the shorts acting like a thong shucked up your ass. Fuck you wasn't wearing Knickers again. Little fucking minx. He lowered his feet to the floor now far to invested in watching you roll around in the tiny shorts. swept up in the way your body swayed taunting him. you turned to him with a sly smile and sent him a quick wink that he almost missed.
Tumblr media
He gaped at you, you were doing it on purpose!! His script laid completely forgotten on his lap as he watched you turn back to Kal innocently dipping down low again shoulders to the floor stretched out taught in front of you face tucked into your arm as Kal fought you for the coveted rope. God...It had been a while since he fucked you like that. He licked his lips. Too long in the busy days since snagging the witcher role he had only had time for a two quickies. Two fumbled quickies in three weeks and they wasn't even that good. Well not his usual hour long foreplay teasing and touching then good few rounds. They were just a flurry of fast rutting motion's, less fucking more jerking trying to finish as quickly as you could just wanting that high. he bit his lip watching you watch him out of the corner of your eye definitely teasing him.
"Babe come here~" You froze and twisted your head back you knew that tone.Grinning knowing you'd got your way you looked seeing Henry eyeing you hungrily biting his lip tilting his head, legs spread wide making his thighs bulge in what should be a loose set of black shorts but actually became skin tight on this Goliath of a man. You flushed under the gaze but managed to hold into the rope not giving the still pulling pup an inch. His eyes were a dark ocean blue pupils nearly swallowing the color completely, you wondered how far you could push him. you pouted at him before teasing him further opening your legs wider letting the material of your shorts almost completely disappear.
"Henry...I'm playing with Kal-" he squinted at you then quirked a brow before shaking his head snapping shut the folder holding the script and let it drop to the floor by his foot with a decisive thump. You gulped. But didn't move instead you heaved back pulling the Akita across the floor.
"Babe...Come here Kal's had his playtime..." you rolled your eyes hearing the silent 'now I want mine' sometimes he was a man child. You twisted your head to him with a flutter of your lashes and cheeky grin.
"Well I'm playing with Kal you have to wait your turn-HEY? HENRY THAT’S CHEATING!?" You yelped as Henry quickly bolted up right and stomped on the rope whilst using his considerable size and strength to pull you up off the floor making you release the toy.
"Well that’s enough playing with Kal, time to play with me. I wont be cock blocked in my own house by the dog~" you giggled as Henry quickly began climbing the stairs laughing kicking your feet, watching as Kal stayed two steps behind rope in his mouth excitedly following his parents, you were all going to play!. It was only when the dog found himself shut out of the bedroom did he realize you were in fact not going to be playing with him anymore tonight. you could hear the indignant huff through the door.
You wriggled as Henry fell onto the bed with you wrapped around him slowly devouring each other with deep kisses tongues and teeth roaming each other. It had been a good few weeks since you both explored one another properly. Henry pulled away chuckling at the soft scratches at the door. Kal was not impressed.
"Kal go lie down! We will be finished soon" Henry called out and ignored the high whines and more insistent scratching at the door and leaned over you sucking at your neck decorating it as he saw fit leaving marks of red and purple biting his mark into the crook of your neck then lower tracing a warm wet train over your thin shirt. You moaned clutching his waist trapping him between your thighs using the grip you had to rock up onto him trying to ease the burning in your core.
"Oh whats this? Someone is impatient considering she wanted to keep playing with Kal?" His voice came out as a deep rasp making you gasp cupping his face.
"You treating me with your Geralt babe?" He smiled latching onto your ear rocking down onto you drawing out soft mewls. You vaguely heard Kals whines become louder barks out side the door hearing the dog jump up pawing at the handle of the door trying to break in.
"Oh you like?~" You sighed quickly trying to rid your tshirt panting feeling just how wet your slit had got, you were embarrassingly wet considering you hadn't even done anything yet.
"Fuck yes~ oh god its so-ah fuck its so hot Henry~" he pulled back growling in the new low tone you hadn't known he was capable of, his large hands helped remove the tshirt throwing it across the room and latched onto your tits biting and sucking slow flicking his tongue across a pebbled nipple as his hands stripped you of your shorts. he chuckled seeing the damp patch, your arousal sticking to the material in one neat line.
"Oh you really do need me don't you love~" you nodded to him whining when he pulled back grunting a growl biting your boob and sucking harshly. You both moved in tandem rolling around the sheets grinding ,rocking ,biting and grunting both intent on ignoring the pup crying outside the door. He would wear himself out and get bored. Well that was the plan anyway.
Henry finally pinned you and descended on your core like a starving man given the sweetest fruit. You cried out fingers in his hair unsure what spurred on this heated frenzie but would happily indulge him. One thing you loved about him is he was always up for eating you out, the man thrived on it! He seemed to get a massive kick out of feasting on you until you came all over him. You grunted as he suckled on your bud teasing and twisting his supple lips across it Nipping you began to loose yourself panting and jerking up into his mouth chasing a sweet release you hadn't known you needed and then you heard it.
A deep loud echoing mournful howl. Even Henry stopped frowning up at you from between your legs. That was new, Kal wasn't a howly dog, he barked and yipped giving off the weirdest groans and moans. But never howled. You both burst out laughing unable to stop it as the howls were all over the place, loud and quiet raspy and uneven like Kal was an apprentice learning on the job.they were less 'howls' and more 'how-wo-wow-wo-wow' It was clear this was his first time but bless him he was trying to be the wolf of the house. You panicked as he began to get the hang of it and patted Henry's shoulder. he was still chuckling finding Kals new found voice hilarious.
"Quick stop him! If he learns that we'll never hear the end of it!" You chuckled pulling the thin sheet over you as Henry swore and quickly slinked off the bed racing to the door opening it stopping Kal in his tracks. The Akita smiled panted a few breaths thumped his tail on the floor then collected his rope entering, jumping on the bed without a care in the world.
Tumblr media
"Babe?" You asked biting the inside of your cheek trying to stop the giggles as Henry began to scowl at the fluffy bear sprawling out on his side of the bed a flush building up his chest settling over his face. He cleared his throat.
You and Henry watched as Kal moved dropping the rope by your hand waiting for you to continue your game of tug. You flopped back in peels of laughter at Henry's face. The man looked amused and livid at the same time as realization struck. Kal, lovable cute baby boi Kal had just played Henry like a fiddle. You didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact your boyfriend, your chosen mate had just been outsmarted by a dog.
"Yes love?" He said none to happy with how things had turned out, here he was standing at the foot of his bed painful hard on and there you were naked and willing...In his bed...With Kal. This was not the plan.
"I hate to break it to you...But you've just been cock blocked in your own house by your dog....For a game of tug!" You giggled as you threw Henry's previous words back at him petting Kal who was still fiddling with the rope trying to make you grab it.
"No shit...Can we still fuck? I mean he can have my side! I'm gonna be on top of you anyway?" You gaped at him as he rounded the bed fulling intent on rolling on top of you sliding home. You held up your hand to him.
"Nope! No way am I fucking you next to Kal!" Henry ignored you crouching over you trying to lay you back down to finish what he started before being rudely interrupted by the Akita now in bed with his girlfriend.
"Oh babe why not? this is painful, look I'm going purple...Besides you started it its your responsibility~" he whined trying to bat away your pushing hands leaning in to capture you with a burning kiss. You dodged anticipating his next move, his kisses were always a sure fire way to make you completely melt and give in to him. you quickly twisted away throwing your legs over the side of the bed placing your hands either side of his naked hips, pressing him back as he still tried to gain on you. you swallowed looking up at him meeting his lopsided grin, trying to ignore the proud cock swaying in front of you almost tapping your heaving breasts.
"How about the shower? He's scared of the bathroom since his last bath?" Henry snapped his fingers and clapped face lighting up as he patted your hands slowly easing them off of him.
"Fuck yes! Babe you are a genius!" He moved over and kissed your face making you bat him away and then he turned to Kal wagging a finger at him.
"And you my four legged son are a pain in the ass!" You shook your head patting Kal as he tilted his head  he looked offended with his dads statement. You looked to the bathroom door as Henry's pert ass vanished around the door frame.
"Daddy didn't mean it baby boy~ you know how he is when he doesn't get his way...Just a spoiled man child~ he loves you really" Kal whined ears flattening  as he heard the shower switch on. You patted the dog with a sigh and got up padding across the bedroom to the en suit.
"Don't worry baby you stay there and daddy wont get you in the mean old shower~" you giggled scratching his ears as he huffed  in defeat. His daddy had got the better of him and the Akita wasn't pleased. He grumbled as Henry poked his head around the door frame wriggling his brows at you as you passed him getting a playful smack on the rear. then he faced the dog and stuck his tongue out childishly to the dog who huffed and turned around choosing to give you both a clear view of his ass.

A/n: Hello! Here is part 3 for the Charlie Weasley fic I promised. Sorry this took so long. I promised angst, so I'm giving it. Hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another day, another exam, or so it seemed that way at Hogwarts. As May came to a close, and June starts, your O.W.L.s were giving you more stress than you had ever felt. Your future was on the line if you didn't do well with your exams.
Not only were your exams crushing you, your relationship had been rocky for a couple of months. After the valentines day dance with your date, Charlie Weasley, nothing could have made your life better. You were dating your best friend, all of your friends supported you, and you had no tests coming up. In other words, very different from your life currently.
You were still technically dating your best friend, but from long classes and homework that came with them, to Charlie's quiditch practices lasting forever in hopes of winning the house cup, you hadn't had time to spend a moment alone together in what felt like years.
Your friends would always be there for you and you knew that, you cared about them with your whole heart and knew they felt the same way, but they had their own exams and futures just as you did. You would never ask them for anything because you didn't want to be a burden.
And of course, your exams. Your dreams of becoming a curse breaker were very important to you. You wanted nothing more than to help people, on top of finding your brother and protecting hogwarts. You were a natural curse breaker so it only makes sense that you would pursue your passion. However, if you wanted to do that, you needed to not only pass your exams, but exceed the expectations.
With that responsibility came nights on end in the library, studying, preparing and hoping that it would all work out. Your exams, finding your brother, hell, even your relationship with Charlie. You knew how rocky it was and you were devastated by that, but you knew if you two truly wanted to, it would work out, or so you hoped.
So, another night in the library, was your fate. You wanted to be with Charlie, but you knew he had quiditch practice, and you had a potions exam in the morning that you weren't ready for. As you flipped through your book, trying to soak up as much information as you could, you didn't notice a certain redhead sneak behind you.
"Hey baby," you felt the hot breathe on your neck and jumped more than out of your skin.
"Blimey Charlie, you scared me." He chuckled as he pulled a chair beside you.
"Sorry, I just wanted to see you after practice, and I haven't seen you all weekend." He smiled at you, which you couldn't help but smile back.
"I know, its just tomorrow starts like the most stressful week of the year. If I don't do well on my exams, my future can be forgotten. Speaking of, I am not ready for potions tomorrow, hence why I'm here." You smiled as you looked back towards your book.
"Hey, you're gonna do great on your exam because you are great, and smart, and beautiful," Charlie said as you rolled your eyes and laughed. "Its just we haven't seen each other in a while, thought i could keep you company." You sighed.
"Look, I know we haven't been the most talkative lately, but what exactly do you want me to say, you know how important this is to me." He put his hand on yours.
"I know, I get it baby, I do, and after this week, we're gonna celebrate." He said with the biggest grin on his face. Suddenly, Madame Pince came around the corner with the dirtiest look on her face.
"Shh!" You smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry Madam-"
"Shh!!!" You sighed as she walked away. You turned back to charlie.
"You better go, I have to study and don't wanna get kicked out." You smiled at him.
"Okay, but I meant what I said about celebrating." He smiled hugley. You returned the smile, only a fraction of what he had given you. That made his smile falter and eventually he turned and walked back to his dorm.
Eventually you had to except the time as 11pm rolled around and Madam Pince kicked you out of the library. You took the book along with all your other stuff and headed towards your common room.
Once you were in, you sat down near the fireplace and opened your potions book once again, flipping to the section about dragon livers and how they were hard to get.
Eventually, you heard the clock strike 2am and had to call it a night. As you closed your booka nd sat back, looking into the fire, you thought of your life as a cursebreaker, how great it would be, how much you wanted to do it, and what you were willing to do to achieve that goal.
As you stood up and headed towards the stairwell, your way was blocked by charlie, the last person you expected to see, especially at this hour.
"Hey, what're you doing up?" Charlie asked groggy.
"I could ask you the same thing. I was just going to bed." You said as you pushed past him and climbed the stairs. He followed you up.
"I thought you'd be up, I was just checking on you." You turned around as you got to the last step before your dorm and smiled.
"Thats sweet, but go back to bed. Goodnight." You leaned down and kissed him on the cheek, then headed into your dorm, falling on your bed and instantly falling asleep.
The next morning, you woke at around 8. Shit. You were late. You quickly got up and dressed faster than ever and ran to the dungeons. You mad either to class just in time, not eating or anything.
"Well, well, Ms. Brooks, you have decided to grace us with your presence, how considerate." Snape sneered at you as you walked to your seat beside Rowan, breathing heavily, across the room, you saw Charlie looking worriedly at you, which was the last thing you wanted in that moment.
Once your potion exam was finished, you walked out of the room, feeling exhausted and like you failed. You started walking to your next exam, which was charms, the easiest of your exams. Soon enough a certain redhead caught up with you.
"Hey, y/n, why were you late today?" You turned to him.
"I over slept, which I dont do, so I didn't realize at which point I had to sprint to make it, which I didnt." You sighed tired lying. "Why?"
"Just wondering, I missed you at breakfast. Did you eat anything?" You smiled softly.
"No, I haven't but its fine, look i have to go to charms and I really don't wanna be late again, see you." Without another word from either of you, you walked away to charms.
At charms, you felt most confident of all classes, which honestly wasn't saying a lot. You finished your exam pretty easily and walked to the great hall, intending on studying until your Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in an hour. Once the clock struck the time to take your next exam, you left the great hall.
Once you reached DADA, you walked in with Tulip and took your seat. You should feel bad, but you just were so glad charlie wasn't there, staring at you like a sorry case. He meant well and you knew it but you just wanted space.
As you finished your final exam of the day, you headed to the library, studying for transfigurations next. When you reached the library, unfortunately you fell into the same pattern as the previous night, except this time no charlie.
When the clock struck midnight, you went to the dorm room and headed straight for bed, not bothering to study anymore. Once your head hit the pillow, you were out.
When you woke up the next morning, the sun was shining into your window nicely. It was a good way to wake up honestly. You say up and saw Rowan asleep. You figured you had a few minutes before breakfast so you got up and got dressed.
You and Rowan walked to breakfast while revising your transfiguration knowledge. You didn't feel as bad about it as potions but you also didn't feel as great about it as charms. Walking into the great hall, you found Charlie sitting with his younger brothers. You knew you had to go sit with him.
"Hey y/n, how'd you sleep?" Charlie asked as he saw you sit next to him and his brothers giggled at him, to which he sent a dirty look.
"Um, not the best but ye know. Its whatever." As you sat down you ate the blandest breakfast ever, granola and coffee, it would just have to do for today.
"Are you guys ready for the big game tomorrow night?" Fred asked the table. You looked at him with a confused expression whereas everyone else seemed to understand.
"What game fred?" He turned to you.
"Uh, the house cup game, we are so gonna kick hufflepuffs ass." Ah.
"Right, good luck." Charlie turned to you.
"You'll come right love? What me win?" You smiled as you sipped your coffee.
"Uh yeah, maybe, I might have to study for History of magic but we'll see." Charlie stopped.
"Y/n, you can't miss the game, its only the biggest game of the year. Please come." Ugh when he gave you those puppy dog eyes, you knew you were done for.
"Okay, yes I will go, of course I will." You smiled and kissed his cheek.
As breakfast finished and you and Rowan made your way to transfiguration, you felt confident in the upcoming essay. Going over info with Rowan definitely helped.
Once you were finished with the exam, you went to the great hall, being assigned twenty five inches of parchment for the second half of the exam was not ideal. You were stressed out, but at least you only had care of magical creatures left for the day, something you were sure you'd excel in thanks to charlie.
As you walked down the grounds for your exam, you felt very confident that you'd do well. Your confidence was correctly placed as you walked to the common room to start on you parchment for transfiguration, doing very well on your exam in care of magical creatures.
The real problems didn't start until the following day, charlies big game was today and you hadn't made a dent in your parchment, due to not being able to focus and eventually falling asleep far earlier than you would have liked. Today you had exams in astronomy, history of magic and a regular potions class. You were extremely busy today, it didn't help you woke up 20 minutes before your exam in astronomy so you had to sprint once again to be on time.
Once you were seated in astronomy, your exam begun and you didnt feel very confident. You gave it your all and after about 75 minutes, you were done. You walked out and saw your boyfriend charlie who lit up when he saw you. You walked over to him with a small smile on your face.
"Hey babe, whats up?" You asked him.
"Not much now that your hear, just nervous for later." You looked at his smiling face confused.
"Later?" His smile dropped. You had forgotten about the quitditch match.
"The match that determines who wins the house cup? I thought you were coming, its really important to me." Shit. Right, yeah of course you would go.
"Right, of course I will be there, sorry I'm just tired you know how it is. I will be there, but right now I have to go to potions, ill see you later." Damn, how had you forgotten?
Potions seemed to last forever as Snape lectured on Beatle brains, you swore you were going to die of boredom, all you wanted to do was study for history of magic.
When class was finally dismissed, you headed straight for the library, not having your final exam for an hour and a half. When you sat down in the library, you immediately fell into studying, the time slipping by quickly until it was time to go to your exam.
Arriving to your exam, you set your things down and got ready for it, feeling confident as you had spent a lot of time studying for this. You finished your exam in 65 minutes and headed to the great hall, feeling hungry.
When you got to the great hall and saw what was happening inside, all hunger left your body.
Shit.
Inside, Gryffindor students were celebrating the win of the house cup, you had forgotten the game. You walked in to the great hall and saw Charlie, held up by his teammates above everyone like a king. You smiled at how happy he looked, but when he saw you, its like every drop of happiness was taken from him and you felt your heart break.
Charlie told his team mates to let him down which they did as he made his way over to you, looking hurt and disappointed. You couldn't do much besides stand there and look at him sheepishly.
"Y/n, why didn't you come to the game, you knew how important it was to me and how much I could have used your support." He said loudly, causing those near you to look on at the conversation.
"Charlie, can we go in the hallway?" He looked pissed but didn't object. Once you were away from everyone, you turned to him.
"Charlie, I am so sorry I didn't go to your game, I was in the library studying and the time just got away from me and before I knew it I had to go to my exam and I completely forgot l. I'm so sorry. But you won anyway so you didn't need me at all, cause your just that good." You said with a smile, trying to defuse his anger. It didn't work.
"Y/n, that's not the point, you said you would be there and I wanted you there. You didn't need to study for your exam, you've been studying all week, this is all I asked of you and you couldn't even give me this." As he finished, you felt sorrow drain and anger rise.
"What exactly do you mean I didnt need to study for my exam? I have been studying all week, unlike you, because I care about getting good grades. You know how badly I need to do on my exams to have a future! I didnt go to your match, because I wanted to make sure I did well. I apologized but now your being irrational." He scoffed.
"Irrational? I asked one thing of you, I asked you to attend a quiditch match to support your boyfriend, but apparently if it doesn't benefit you, it doesn't matter, huh is that it?" You were now fully screaming at each other, thank god the hallway was deserted.
"Are you serious? You know maybe if you cared more about your future and grades like I do, you would see where I'm coming from, but all you care about is a God damn match and dragons! No wonder we've been like this for months. You say im selfish, I've done everything for you. I miss one thing and the worlds over to you." Charlie turned away and scoffed.
"You're right, we have been like this for a long time, because we just don't work anymore." You froze. "Y/n, you can't even support your own boyfriend, you care more about tests than anything, this clearly isn't working." You looked at him while a tear rolled down your cheek, which you quickly wiped away. You didn't want to break up with Charlie, God no. But he didn't seem to want to stay together.
"Charlie, it's not like that, you know how stressed I've been, I'm sorry I didn't come to your game, I truly meant to go. I care a lot about my future, but you don't and thats not on me. You can't put this on me, its not just the match, you've been like this ever since the dance, its not only me." More tears rolled down your cheeks as one slid out from his eye.
"Y/n, this just isn't working, I'm sorry." No, God no please.
"Charlie, no, please, don't do this. I swear I-" he cut you off.
"I'm sorry, its already done." He turned and walked away, leaving you standing alone in an empty corridor, feeling your heart leaving your soul. You don't know how it happened, you don't know where it went wrong. Was it truly the match? Or was it ever since the day of the dance? Did he even ever like you?
As you stood in that corridor, you felt cold, you felt like you soul left you. You watched him walk away and eventually out of eyesight, thinking about how you would never feel his kiss again, never feel the comfort of his embrace, never feel his love again.
You didn't want this, God no, but your gut told you it had to happen, you just wish it didn't hurt this much. As you wrapped your arms around yourself and sank to the floor with tears on your face, you felt nothing but hollow, wishing the presence of charlie was still there. Wishing he could hold you and tell you he loved you again, as you loved him still.
You didn't know how you were going to go on without him, but you knew one thing for sure, the last thing you cared about was your fucking grades, because you just lost the best thing in your life.
A/n: okay, sorry this took so long, I suck i know! Im sorry this was shitty, I will try to finish the series relatively soon, there will be 2 more parts. I hope you like it, thanks for reading!

I WATCHED GOOD OMENS IN FRENCH SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO
and it wasn’t that bad. Here are my thoughts, barely edited as I wrote most of them while watching the show.
EP 1
OK i like god’s voice so far
possibilité d’embarras gastrique is a good formulation, I wonder if it’s the same in the book ( I think I kinda need to read it in french now...)
aghghdhgs « primo-délinquants »
of course subtitles don’t match the audio for a variety of technical reasons but when you get things that have very different underlying meanings i find it… not good This one about Crowley being evil / a demon : subtitles : « c’est ton travail » - « it’s your job » audio : « c’est dans ta nature » - « it’s in your nature » i mean dang
crowley sounds like a little shit asking az about his sword
« T’AS FAIT QUOUA » - he just loses his shit (kinda giving me some le coeur a ses raisons vibe)
ok crowley sounds very nerdy when he tries to explain that he took down the phone network, i think i actually like this voice acting
ligur sounds… very suave (im a little ill at ease)
crowley getting called mon chou by satan freddie mercury is a thumb up from me
i see the part where aziraphale speaks japanese wasn’t dubbed over and we can still hear michael sheen. it’s a bit disturbing considering french aziraphale has a higher pitched voice (and he sounds soooo much more anxious than sheen, give this angel a xanax )
“sandwich bœuf cresson” ( beef and cress sandwich ) deirdre really who makes this kind of sandwiches
im being reminded that the chattering nuns prepared little cut outs for their explanation about the antichrist switch… such dedication to useless crafts (it made me laugh on my first viewing and it’s still funny to imagine that some of them either ordered or built these things themselves just so they could make this two minutes long presentation for the most important act of their satanic nun careers)
retire-toi vil démon infernal, créature des abysses XD i swear az doesn’t sound even remotely convinced when he is saying the « get thee behind me foul fiend » line in french, it’s just too over the top for credibility, it sounds like it’s straight out of some super intense dnd session
they still can’t say bouillabaisse (which, like, weird because french, but still valid). nice touch is crowley couldn’t say soupe de poisson (fish stew) either and said poupe de soisson (sish ftew)
warlock mah boy how can you be a teenager and not like dinosaurs
c’est un dinosaure un nullosaure plutôt - apply burn heal
La façon dont warlock s’est exclamé « C’EST NUL » m’a fait penser au nain de naheulbeuk
the english version has nothing on french speaking aziraphale for the second hand embarrassement during the magic tour. it’s over 9000 i literally hid my head in my jumper when he was presenting harry the bunny. Horrible experience, 0/20, would not recommend
EP 2
oooh agnes has a lovely voice !
why is young newton having such a quality dub for the three sentences he has to say
dick turpin’s name is jesse james (tbf dick turpin is not known AT ALL in france, i discovered him reading good omens)
shadwell is pure chaos (as expected). No particular accent for him though, the chaotic energy was probably enough. Would have made me laugh if he had like, a chti or a marseilles accent.
aziraphale is so fucking stressed out by crowley’s driving i thought he was gonna explode
« tu es un gentil garçon » => « you’re a nice boy » said az to crowley DANG THAT’S SO INFANTILIZING AZIRAPHALE YOU’RE TALKING TO A DEMON FROM HELL NOT TO PINOCCHIO
ARGH FIRST MON ANGE OF THE SERIES i’m hit straight in the heart
anathema’s mom doesn’t have a spanish / latino accent at all when talking in spanish…. why...
dog being called toutou is definitely adorable (it’s basically « doggy » but way cuter imo)
tickety-boo has become ça gaze. that’s valid. it’s corny but i still use it unironically from time to time so ... i stan
EP 3
« je répands la fomentation » « i’m here spreading foment » « quoi tu fais des crêpes au froment ?????? »  « what you’re making crêpes with wheat ??? » love the fact that we shoehorned in one more ref to crêpes
az called crowley mon cher camarade, unintentionnal communist propaganda ftw
« pas de repos pour les… bah, pour les bons » « no rest for the… good »  – az was so deflated about the ineptitude he realized he was saying, he felt zero percent commited to his sentence
i was wondering how they would play aziraphale not being able to speak french in the bastille and they opted to have him stutter a bit and say to his executionner « excuse me i’m anxious » XD
« vous êtes le 999e aristo à mourir par mes soins. Mais vous êtes le premier en costume beige » « you’re the 999th aristocrat I’m going to kill, but the first one in beige attire » yeah i guess now that az isn’t english anymore his most noticeable feature is his cream aesthetic
« c’est au cas où ça tournerait en eau de boudin » « j’ADORE le boudin » => « in case it all goes pear shape » - the literal translation featuring food in french is « turning into black sausage water ». I don’t know what pear shaped inspires to english native speakers but the mere mention of boudin always make me giggle, it’s such a funny word and such a funny food
OH !!! no terrence rampa for the tv series, we’ve got anthony J. rampa. Rip terrence petit démon parti trop tôt :’(
« tu roules trop vite pour moi rampa » SERIOUSLY i know we can still infer « rouler » (here as in driving, but literally rolling) as a metaphor for their relationship but you could have said TU VAS TROP VITE that would have been so much better argh
has anathema got an emergency stock of potteries to break in case of emotionnal crisis ?
« Rampa, un démon très futé, il m’oblige à redoubler d’effort » « crowley, a very clever demon, he forces me to make double the amount of effort » oh so admitting you’re making an effort there aziraphale ? :))))))
dang i really want to know how shadwell said that major milk bottle died because not only did he die in combat but aziraphale’s reaction is a bit intense, it must have been quite a tale (this could be a crack fic prompt : «The Epic Tale of the Death Of Major Witchfinder Milk Bottle, by Sargent Witchfinder Shadwell» )
des sorcières et des phénomènes sorciéreux x)
CROWLEY CALLED AZIRAPHALE DUCON ?????? EXCUSE ME ????? #NotMyCrowley #CrowleyWouldNeverDoThat  #CancelAnthonyJRampa2K20  => ducon would be an insult, the gathering of du and con, con being a very nasty but common swear word, and associating it with du- makes it extremely patronizing. it’s like « absolute pathetic digraceful moron +++ ». thanks i hate it *frowny face *
EP 4
l’apocalypse c’est pour aujourd’hui juste après le goûter : it could be translated as « apocalypse is scheduled for today right after tea time » except that « goûter » is not quite tea time but rather the little sugary snack kids take when they come back from school and that most adults drop out of (i haven’t and i’m sure az hasn’t either). thanks aziraphale for having exclusively food related notion of the time because tbh same
ligur has no right to be this sexy between ariyon bakare and his french voice actor that’s just not allowed
radio crowley’s voice vs french ligur’s voice, who has the sexiest voice : FIGHT
(jk french agnes nutter’s voice is by far the sexiest)
gender neutral doesn’t ‘quite’ exist in french but pollution has been assigned a female voice actress and masculine pronouns (i’m saying it doesn’t quite exist because officially we have no gender neutral, but it’s a serious wip among lgbt+ circles to the point where it’s started being used in a few medias)
hastur « en attendant qu’un plombier vienne » / « while waiting for a plumber to come » does hell have a special plumber unit or do demons have to call on human plumbers for their pipes damages ? Dang hastur having to call a human plumber for hell’s plumbery is another damn good writing prompt for a crack fic
Michael is called Michel in the subtitles but Michael in the audio *shrug emoji*
EP 5 
to get a wiggle on has become « il faut qu’on se remue les fesses », literally « we need to shake our butts » like, yes, se remuer les fesses is a common expression to say « we need to act in order to get things done » but it really casts the image of people shaking their booty to some music and obviously crowley thinks the same Weirdly enough I have almost nothing to say for that episode. Sorry. But we’ve discovered most voice actors and actresses so far and no bit of dialogue really struck me as worth discussing or pointing fingers to mock it.
EP 6 
« on va BROUTER quelques derrières » - « we’re gonna lick some butts » OK THIS IS UNQUESTIONNABLY FAR SUPERIOR IN FRENCH THAN IN ENGLISH you thought LICKING butts was good ??? you really thought that ???? AZIRAPHALE HERE SUGGESTS TO GRAZE BUTTS. TO NIBBLE THEM. TO EAT THEM. TO. MUNCH. ON. THOSE. BUTTS!!!! not just licking, guys. This is as serious step beyond licking. (oh yeah he should have said « botter » instead of brouter btw, which is really just kicking, fyi)
« moi je crois en la paix, pétasse ! » wow, language, pepper (fyi i think « pétasse » is far far worse than « bitch » even if it means roughly the same, pétasse is almost never used while bitch is rather common, so it’s a swear word +++)
Dagon sounds like she’s got a nasty cold. #GetDagonIbuprofen2K20
I can confirm that Crowley offers Aziraphale to not just stay at his place, but to move in with him. « tu peux t’installer chez moi si tu veux ». omg they were roommates.
Bad translation strikes again : i don’t know why, but the french dub doesn’t have the « tickety-boo » / « ça gaze » being referenced as Rampa / Aziraphale is being knocked down, which is… a real mistep. It was narratively significant and I’m quite mad the translators missed it.
The Jesse James explanation from Newt has become very nonsensical, instead of the neat and to the point pun « wherever I go I hold up trafic » we’re getting a circonvoluted « because it’s a crime to mechanic’s diligence ». I’m not judging that one too hard, I have no idea how to make it better, and that’s probably how it was translated in the book as well thirty years ago, but it definitely doesn’t have the same impact. On the other hand, it definitely IS a very bad joke that doesn’t even deserve a chuckle, so Anathema’s embarassement really matches the audience’s (aka mine).
OVERALL :
I wasn’t convinced by Crowley… I mean, Rampa’s voice at first, but as the nerdiness showed up it really grew on me. I still think that french dubs have often problems with some voice inflexions every here and there, and for instance in Rampa’s case it was when he was annoyed or frustrated ( at the Globe when complaining about horses and Shakespeare’s plays that aren’t comedies, and also when discussing Azirphale’s magic tricks, it’s like… there is a step between having the right amount of grumpy complaining and overdoing it that is overlooked. It’s overacted, it should have been a bit quieter imo. I don’t mean to criticize voice actors too hard either but as an audience watching french dubs this is a very recurring problem and it always feels off to me. It’s actually one of the main reasons I avoid french dubs whenever possible.)
I have a hard time judging Aziraphale’s voice dub because it clashes so much with both the idea I had formed with it when I read the book and Sheen’s delivery that I just… kinda filtered it. It was too high pitched for me, and too anxious (though for this last point I must admit it could be funny at times, but I’m not fond of this character portrayal). The rest of the cast was rather good, nothing to complain about. There wasn’t anything stellar either, but everything that needed to be conveyed was and it was professionnal. It was also very homogeneous, no voice really struck me as being way too bad or way too good compared to the others, so it was really consistant.
So I don’t have much to complain about overall despite a few wonky translations here and there, BUT there is one thing I felt very robbed of : Crowley calling Aziraphale « mon ange » happens only once, when giving a lift to Anathema, and I’m almost certain they translated it that way because otherwise the joke about Anathama mistaking them for a couple wouldn’t work. So, they were forced to make it that way. The rest of the time Crowley calls Aziraphale « l’angelot », and despite being literally translated by « little angel », it feels sarcastic more than anything else ( the « L’ » in front of « angelot » is part of the reason why, it creates some distance, the other reason being that this word in itself has a very corny vibe and people being affectionnate to each other wouldn’t use it as a term of endearment). So, that’s a shame.
I like the English dub much much MUCH better than the French, but the french wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be. The voice actors and actresses were quite good, the dialogues mostly faithful and endearing despite a few really missed steps. It really had its moments. Props to brouter des derrières, that one was fantastic.

BNHA AU Ideas: Don’t Praise the Almighty (Part 2)
Also on AO3!
TW: Child Abuse (all kinds implied, explicit verbal and physical abuse), implied CSA
TL;DR:
Things you must sacrifice to make a hero: Humanity, Empathy.
Things you must sacrifice to be a hero: Everything.
But with the end of a symbol come the end of the hurt. 
Starting with I-Island Expo
mellissa calls them over like canon, shouto basically demands he gets endeavours spot. aizawa and yamada go too, mostly because yamada was going there for his show and they heard whispers of all might, and were worried about a possible izuku attending so aizawa went as a plus one
the other kids are there for the same reason, but other than scissors paper rock for the tickets it was a tournament brawl because ochako demanded combat.
she won, of course
anyway, they meet up w david and melissa, and izuku and her go explore the expo when melissa tells izuku shes quirkless he just give her the strangest look, and she's a little confused
i-island was a very chill attitude towards quirks. if you have one, cool, but they aren't useful to the inventors so its nbd if you don’t. and she says ab how she's a researcher and all the and he just looks at her like shes speaking gibberish
"they,,, they let you?"
and melissa looks dumbfounded "obviously? i mean, my grades are good enough?"
and izuku just start to cry. melissa is panicking bc she's already adopted this little hero as her little cousin because he's basically uncle might's kid. she like, hides him away in a corner and tries to understand what's wrong
and all she can get out of this crying kid is
"i used to be quirkless" and "don't tell all might"
she gives him a big hug and he talks ab how he was treated in middle school, and about how he hasn't told anyone in ua. she asks why he said don't tell all might and he murmurs that allmight doesn't think is very befitting of a hero to cry
deep down that doesn't sound right to her. but she only nods, hands him a tissue and they giggle about it behind a fancy model car
back in the office david and all might are talking
all might tells david that he knows his quirk is fading but it's ok, because he's training a successor and izuku is going to be perfect. that sounds ok to david. he's warmed by the total faith all might seems to have in his student, and the close relationship they must have to call him by his first name
all might confesses he’s looking forward to retiring and nurturing his student and david calls off the whole heist (well. he tries to. not that they listen.)
so Yamada and Aizawa are walking around the showroom floor and they see a "i was just crying but im trying to hide it and going an ok job" izuku with some random fucking blonde girl and they s w o o p in bc these are some worried dads
basically Yamada keeps her busy while aizawa says "oh i have to talk to you ab something" izuku goes over to aizawa and hes freaking the fuck out quietly. aizawa just leans down to look him in the eye
"you ok, kid?"
and izuku is confused
"what do you mean?"
"you looked a little upset back there, do you know that girl? is she,,, doing anything? to you?"
and izuku feels all warm and fuzzy inside and smiles at his teacher bc aizawa cares!! ab him!!
"no sensei, shes all mights kind-of-niece, she was just showing me around the expo"
and aizawa winces a little at the all might comment but what can he do
"well, don't forget you can talk to me, ok? i know i gave you my number on an emergency basis but i also want you to know your definition of an emergency is terrible. just call whenever you want"
melissa, bc she understands social cues unlike izuku, and also bc shes fucking 18 looks at yamada and says "what's wrong?" and yamada feels all the force of an 18-year-old girls glare of "ive adopted this kid and ill kick you for him"
"just worried about the little listener is all, he looked a little down"
melissa just sighs and nods
"yeah."
yamada expects her to continue but she doesn't. they both just kinda fiddle around with some random buttons until aizawa brings izuku back, who looks significantly cheerier now. melissa declares lunch is on her and that the teachers are coming too
aizawa and yamada try to wiggle their way out of it, until izuku also tries to so they all double down on going to lunch and izuku gets dragged along
when they get there he's fretting ab what won't ruin his diet plan, and aizawa and yamada feel bad. melissa just tells him to get what he wants
"but i dont want to upset-. i should be sticking to my diet plan though."
aizawa loudly declares hes getting a chocolate sundae and pork cutlet sandwiches. melissa, equally loudly, decides on carbonara. yamada fumbles for a bit looking for something unhealthy because hes a mess, finally finds a chicken karrage bowl and points at it like hes very proud of himself
melissa loses her shit laughing, izuku just giggles softly and aizawa fuckn snorts at the crestfallen look on yamada
izuku quietly asks if getting katsudon would be ok and melissa just looks into his eyes
"izuku i would kill a man for you of course pork katudon is ok"
anyway, the other students turn up, and momo shouts them all food, ochako proudly declares herself the winner of a fighting tournament and aizawa just slumps in his chair
"if i didnt hear that, you dont get detention for using your quirks without supervision"
and ochako just smiles with a scary amount of teeth
"who said we used quirks, sensei?"
and ochako proudly shows off the bruise on her upper arm where jirou punched her and jirou is whining bc she has a foot shaped imprint in her stomach s t i l l from the last round
everyone is talking n shooting the shit. it strikes the kids (and the teachers) a little weird that izuku is in his hero costume (the only other person there in costume is yamada, who is representing his agency. aizawa is in free dress but also his scarf bc he wanted to ask how the fuck it was made) but they just kinda, don't mention it
anyway, the bit w the quirk display
they hound aizawa into doing it, and he makes time pretty similar to bakugo and everyone is cheering for him and he's trying very hard to maintain his "im a professional hero not a dad getting cheered on by his stupid kids"
yamada wants to do it, but aizawa won't let him bc people need their ears
all the hero kids give it a go, including ochako, jirou, momo, etc. izuku (who at this point is like at 10%ish full cowl) makes time tied w Todoroki and izuku is talking ab how amazing todoroki is, and tenya chimes in with "you are quite amazing as well!" and midoriya blushes so hard he looks like a strawberry. he is very very flustered and keeps trying to deny it
eventually, everyone piles on the compliments (even katsuki bc this is the most fun hes had in ages) until izuku gets so flustered he hides behind aizawa like "you won't do this to me right?"
aizawa fuckn ruffles his hair and says "you're a good kid"
izuku just cries but he's smiling so wide everyone knows he's happy
so its the night of the party
izuku is dressed to the nines and he's sad ab it bc he wanted to wear something cheery and bright but instead he was dressed in a charcoal black suit, vest and a dark red tie. black shoes too
the one bit of cheer he shoved in were some red laces bc all might didn't mind them bc he was so "good" ab the suit fitting and the poking and prodding so he wears the bright red laces and he's very happy ab them
all might is in his hero costume, and he's very proud of the fact he and izuku match like a pair with the same shade of red bc that's his successor! his boy! all might tells izuku he can wait outside for the rest of the kids to show up and izuku is so happy! so he thanks allmight a lot more than he needs to and waits outside the door (all might was early to the event bc he needed to schmooze)
aizawa and yamada come later to a surprisingly well dressed izuku waiting patiently off to the side
they ask him why he's out there and he happily chirps that he's waiting for the other students that attended, they smile at him and walk in . all might sends them a glare from across the floor that aizawa returns just as spitefully
anyway, iida texts that he's stuck out the front bc the door won't open so he scrambles over to let iida and, apparently ochako as well, in (for the purposes of this au, todoroki, iida, ochako, izuku and melissa are the only ones of the kids at the beginning, todoroki's melodramatic entrance is stolen by jirou and momo. no mineta or kami bc they just,,, arent there lmao)
so the doors slam shut and melissa is like "wtf wtf" and the announcement sounds. they pile up the stair to look down to the dining room, teachers and other heroes tied up
the kids know a bit of sign from various hero class training bits by aizawa and "fun facts" by mic
so they brokenly sign to allmight and aizawa (the only teachers that can see them) that they are going to fix this
all might nods
aizawa looks panicked. these are kids. his kids. they shouldn't have to fight people with fucking guns
izuku says "ill keep them safe" and aizawa wants to cry because he believes him, but who'll keep izuku safe
so iida starts on his whole "we cant use quirks" speech before melissa can even remind them ab i islands quirk laws, izuku just murmurs
"all might gave me permission to fight. it'll be ok."
melissa freezes bc,,, she knows adults shouldn't be letting these kids fight, even if that's exactly what she's going to help them do. she mentions the quirk law anyway
now todoroki is pissed at all might but the bitch was gonna fight anyway. ochako is 100% roaring for a showdown
now they are,, a little more cautious. bc they are a smaller group here but izuku is like double the power so its not realllllyy an issue. the middle fight happens, they gain the wlw and mlm solidarity pairs (Jirou + Momo, Kirishima + Bakugo)
then pretty quickly lose bakugo and momo for a hot minute as they stay to finish up the fight while sending the others on
oh izuku totally has the punchy punchy thing from melissa i just forgot to mention it
so, bc melissa's dad didnt actually,, want in on it this time he's fighting back. he's stalling, pleading, backchatting; everything he can do to give someone a chance to fix his fuck up before it kills someone
so melissa and izuku make it to the top of the tower
izuku has been at shot more times than he's really happy about, just he has nothing more than a few grazes. melissa has a nasty bruise on her face and a cut on her arm from where she redirected a blow that would have stabbed izuku
the villain is talking ab how this was David's idea, and he's trying to explain to the kids that he's sorry, this was a mistake. he tried to call it off but they wouldn't stop. at this point he is totally away these people are real criminals and has been since the heist began
he's trying to convince them to run because as proud as all might is of izuku, and as proud of melissa he is, they are to young. they don't deserve this
izuku takes out the goons but the villain has already escaped with david and the quirk enhancer
izuku promises melissa he'll keep her dad safe and shes left in the control room crying alone because who'll protect the kid that's been nothing but kind and gentle yet has the weight of the world on his shoulders
also just an fyi bc you needed to know- melissa is down her heels and she lost her hairpin when she stabbed someone with it, she threw her heels at a villain too bc she was running out of ideas. melissa literally tied her hair in a big knot so she could fucking see
izuku is down a jacket - threw it over someone's head then punched them and his waistcoat is unbuttoned bc he need to punch. his hair is going fucking hog wild, even in the tighter clip yagi likes it kept in
anyway, when the alarms go off, all might fucking rockets to the roof and aizawa is fuming bc those are his fucking kids too
he and yamada have to take the goddamn elevator to the roof. its certainly not a slow elevator but aizawa is so fucking tense. yamada isn't much better
all might won't let them fight. he hands david and melissa off to them and tells them he and izuku will handle wolfram and aizawa is so pissed bc izuku is on his last fucking legs here
aizawas quirk doesn't work w the enhancer so he admits there isn't much he can do, but yamada is perfect here. but all might won't move out of the way long enough for mic to let his quirk go. honestly, hed be tempted to do it anyway if not for izuku also being there
anyway, all might and izuku do their lil double detroit smash and its all very sweet
kind of
bc,,, aizawa can see how izuku is shaken up, and close to passing out. visibly in a lot of pain but he's swallowing it all down and acting as if everything is fine and aizawa sees izuku with small might again and wonders why, why do they know each other?
yamada and aizawa feel vaguely ill when izuku and all might return to their shared hotel room after all might grabs a few bandages and alcohol wipes from a first aid kit. bc,,, aizawa can see how izuku is shaken up, and close to passing out. visibly in a lot of pain but he's swallowing it all down and acting as if everything is fine
aizawa and yamada stay with the kids, trying to cheer them up and bandaging wounds that don't need urgent medical care. melissa is just blankly watching out the door izuku left through
"why didn't they stay?"
aizawa just aggressively tightens the bandage around his sliced up arm. todoroki looks pissed. iida just kind of looks down
"im not sure, melissa. im... im not sure"
the next morning, as aizawa and yamada stumble downstairs to eat shitty hotel breakfast food, yamada glances out the window and looks like he's about to cry bc izuku, still battered and bruised, is stepping out of the gym over the road. its only 7am
they basically pounce on the kid and drag him to breakfast, where they find out he has been training since 5 and hasn't eaten yet and he's fucking, sheepish about it
"i got up a little late, so i just to my light routine for the morning, ill have to make up the time a little later"
aizawa just shoves pastries at his kid. izuku tries to stammer out that they arent part of his diet but,,, they look really nice and he's really hungry and stressed,,, and he caves pretty quick
so aizawa yamada and izuku are sitting around a table, both of his teachers arent totally human until they've had a coffee so izuku is happily babbling about some new hero teach he saw as aizawa grunts in affirmation
allmight shows up and izuku blanches. aizawa and yamada are a little too tired to realise until yagi is already over by the table. izuku quietly puts down the pastry and just cringes into himself
"im,,, im really sorry. i - i just"
"i got it for him" aizawa says totally deadpan as he slams back a whole ass cup of coffee
deep down inside he did it to flex on mister "i have no stomach so im not allowed caffeine"
all might sighs and gently chides izuku for not sticking to his diet plan. izuku nods miserably and excuses himself back to the room to 'get changed out of his sweaty clothes'
yagi sits and eats breakfast with aizawa and yamada as they try to understand what,,, what exactly happened there. it hurts both of them because they aren't sure what all mights doing
mic has seen one instance of something nasty going on, but other than that its just been a collection of terrible vibes
Training Camp Time Baby.
after that total clusterfuck of an event training camps still on
all might wants to go but nezu no sells him bc "you literally attract villains, all might" and like bitch is smart, he knows something is up. he's not sure what yet, but he's working on it
all might gives aizawa a personalised training schedule for izuku that he takes one look at and throws it out the fucking window
basically all might goes as "all might's secretary" to monoma
"very worried about my boy, and i think aizawa is training him too hard, could you please give me a run down on what happens each day?"
monoma, starry-eyed: of course all might
and there is this little,,, list of things he doesn't want izuku doing and he phrases them in ways that make it seem like he's being perfectly reasonable. like allergies or bad habits izuku is trying to break or whatever. izuku has to tell all might what happens at the end of every day anyway
all might,,, wants hourly updates,,,, but he realises that's not going to happen w aizawa's deep hatred of students on cellphones lmao
he hears izuku mentioning to todoroki that "yagi" wants to know what's happening at the camp and that he's excited to talk to his mentor about all the training they do. and aizawa is caught between wanting to find some bullshit reason to take izukus phone, or just pretending he didn't hear that bc who knows how much trouble not answering yagi could get him in
he makes an announcement that cellphones are to be on mute for the duration of the camp anyway.
yagi wanted to go on the camp, aizawa wouldn't let him, monoma is yagis mole etc we have covered this
in this au the league never latched on to bakugo, it's izuku that shigiraki wants, but to backtrack
getting off the bus its funny in a sad way bc izuku was so prepared to get hit by one of the teachers "training" them at any time he dodges the landslide
they all just kinda sit there for a second, stunned. izuku sighs quietly and jumps after his classmates
anyway so, they get to the camp a lil faster bc izuku is More Powerful, izuku (bc hes faster than iida on uneven ground) runs shinsou to the campground, they mind control pixiebob to stop the earthbeasts then run back to show the rest of 1A the way out
they get there in 2 hours
aizawa is very proud of his boy for thinking of that! and he ruffles izukus hair and its cute
in this au izuku isn't confident enough to say hi to kouta, but he waves. kouta just glares at him and he hides behind iida
they do a little extra training because 1A finished the earth beast thing so fast, half of the training is all of 1A trying to stop Izuku from going overboard. they get a little,,, disturbed when they realise just how long izuku can train without visibly breaking a sweat
they go to chill in the baths and iida sees izuku walking out of the changing rooms and freezes
because he's c o v e r e d in hand-shaped bruises
he tries not to react bc he doesn't want izuku to be uncomfortable and change his mind ab hanging in the bath w all of them
kaminari goes to say something and kirishima just fucking pulls him under the water before he can say anything, mineta is socially aware enough to not open his fucking mouth
they chat n izuku can kinda,,, tell,,, something is wrong but most of the bruises are places he can't see/doesn't look, like his shoulders, hips, back, back of his legs
and the ones on his wrist he just kinda brushes off bc he's still convinced this is normal. the thing w mineta happens, izuku helps kouta, iida comes with him to give him to the wild wild pussycats
and pixiebob looks like she wants to say something bc who is hurting this kid? and iida just catches her eyes and he looks so worried. she keeps her mouth shut, but makes sure to mention it to aizawa. she feels terrible when aizawa just curses and pulls his hair in frustration
anyway, 1B shows up and its hilarious bc 1A is going hog fucking wild other than izuku, aizawa is forcing izuku to learn to cook
so bakugo is screaming and blowing shit up, todoroki is in a fucking barrel, iida is running like afo is chasing him and aizawa is patiently showing izuku how to scramble eegs
monoma is losing his fucking mind
but yeah aizawa and izuku are sitting in front of a little stove w their legs crossed, izuku is trying to cut tomatoes and aizawa is supervising. they are making breakfast for 1A. slowly. all of 1A is being very careful to not disturb them, so there is this little bubble of calm around the egg station
"why,,, why arent i training?"
and aizawa fucking pauses
"this is training, keep up problem child."
and izuku looks so fucking lost but the eggs smell good and he gets to cook the bacon next. each part of the fucking breakfast is cold by the time 1A gets to eat it bc izuku was cooking it 1 by 1, little portions at a time
everyone just tells him its fucking wonderful
he joins in training after breakfast, ragdoll is placed on "izuku watching duty" which izuku has 0 clue about. if he gets hurt/sore/too tired someone gets sent over to get him to do something else
when she looks at him the first time she wants to cry bc,,, he's not tired, he's more rested than he's been in ages. but the places that hurt, before hes even been training, are sending blaring alarm bells in her brain
anyway, its amusing bc everyone is 'going beyond' and they are just trying to get izuku back so they can know what is 'going beyond' and what is 'going so far beyond how are you still moving'
everyone is fucking wiped and izuku is like 'this is the easiest training ive had in months what' and aizawas want to yell bc while hes being soft on izuku, they arent taking his training lightly, and this is easy?
he gives the curry to kouta like the show, they all go to sleep
izuku has a nightmare and shouto - the only person not asleep - tries not to hear the things he's saying. he can't hear much, but he wishes he hadn't heard anything. anyway at least they all wake up well-rested
unfortunately in this au the villains actually have a half-decent plan, and fucking, communicators -which isn't great for the kids
so muscular sees izuku and is like "oi compress move your arse over here" while he tries to kill kouta. so we get the joy of izuku saving kouta, getting him to aizawa and just as he hands over the kid, compress takes izuku and kouta just starts to cry
"izuku is kidnapped" time is a ride
the only thing they give him is a set of quirk suppressors and dont give him a key to get out of the bar. they are about as nice to him as they are to each other, a little softer on him bc he's young and they pretty much know what's happening to him
like, he gets out of compresses marble and he's panicking and crying, dabi just crouches down next to him and rubs his back, asks him if he's gonna be ok
shigiraki is trying to convince izuku to join then and his face just kinda falls when he sees izuku looking resistant
"you,,, you don't know that what he’s doing to you is wrong, do you."
and izuku looks like a deer in the headlights
"what do you mean? no ones- nothings- nothings wrong."
dabi just sits on a chair bc he knows where this is going and he doesn't like it. shigiraki looks at izuku
"if its not wrong, then tell me about it"
and izuku clams right up
ok but afo wants to talk to izuku. in this au he has literally 0 beef with the kid
he has only so much beef with the ofa users in general and he's typically pretty soft on them for being part of his brothers legacy, as soft as he can make killing them if they won't stop getting in his way, but still
but he hates allmight so fucking much and he's never been totally sure why
anyway, he asks to talk w izuku and this kid is shaking like a leaf and afo tells him
"you are a child. i have no intention of hurting you, i just want to know what all might has done to you."
"hes not done anything bad, i swear!"
"then why don't you tell me about it?"
izuku sits there quietly and afo feels just generally disgusted with humanity tbh
"how did you two meet?" izuku slowly opens up about the day they first met, and afo feels a stab of empathy for izuku, because being quirkless now is pretty comparable to being quirked before, afo doesnt interject beyond nods and encouraging him to keep going
but eventually, izuku totally clams up, starts crying and can't say anything else. afo wishes he didnt look as scary as he did because he wants to give the kid a hug. he calls tomura to take him back to the bar and get him something to eat
it gets to the point that all of the villains are super fucking soft for izuku. he's very nice, treats them well, and has seen some horrific shit
so when all might shows up to "rescue" him, they close ranks. they don't even pressure him to become a villain, because each of them has felt society push them into boxes they didn't want, and they don't want to do that to izuku
anyway, they get to kamino bc the usual fuckery, and izuku is just stranded behind villains crying and looking ill
the rescue squad : bakugo, todoroki, ochako, kirishima, iida, and one stubborn shinso that befriended the hero departments resident nervous wreck
they look across the field and they feel ill because izuku looks sick. but they feel a little better when twice gives him a bit of a hug.
confilcted, but better
they see afo talking to him gently but quickly, gesturing both to the villains and to the section of wall the rescue squad is hidden behind. izuku tearfully points to the wall, afo nods, ruffles his hair, and goes to send him off when all might rockets in
basically afo has looked at izuku and thought "wow he's me but a good person" and thinks he's what his little brother would want a hero to be, so, while he's very much going to continue his villainous thing, he's going to go out of his way to avoid hurting izuku bc this kid is what his little brother wanted OFA to be
and allmight is exactly what he would have hated
so, all might takes a step forward to drag izuku, the villains push him behind them
dabi is basically saying something along the lines of
"so does being in the top ten require you to be a total dick, or is it just a running theme?"
"give him back"
"why all might, izuku is his own person."
"izuku, get over here, now."
izuku lets out a sob and vaults over the villains, hiding behind allmight and all might looks horrifically smug. izuku whispers something to all might, but all might shakes his head (he was asking if he could run away)
the fight begins
a few reasons he won't let him leave:
its punishment for being 'weak' enough to get kidnapped
its backup if afo gets the better of his because hes made sure izuku is more than a force to be reckoned with
he wants to know what dabi ment and hes very read to ask izuku ab it
izuku is honestly shaking like a leaf, quirk going bonkers and he can't turn it off. the rescue squad does its thing, and their hearts break when they see izuku look at them tearfully and shake his head
they all hide in the crowd and cry as they watch the fight go on, izuku shakily pulling people from the rubble in the background. when hes gotten all of the people free he can, izuku kind of runs out of reasons he isnt actively helping allmight. he grits his teeth and dives into the fight with the other villains
hes trying to keep them away from all might and they all look heartbroken ab having to fight him dabi is saying something along the lines of "we know he hurt you, but how? why?" and izuku is just crying
all might can hear this too
izuku actually misses a few kicks and punches bc his eyes are too filled with tears, but the villains are careful not to hurt him too much. they just want to get him down and out of the fight, but as uninjured as possible
but that's a little fucking difficult when compress and kurogiri are down for the count and everyone else has nasty death quirks
eventually, it gets to the point that trying not to hurt the other villains is only hindering afo, and all might is pulling exactly 0 punches with izuku present, so afo teleports the villains away, they feel bad ab leaving izuku behind but there is no way this little hero would go with them. they know that now
afo goes to deal the final blow to all might, izuku just moves
cant stop himself from planting himself between them and trying desperately to catch the punch. hes hurt, badly. but he's not as dead as all might would have been
there is a vicious edge to all might’s smile as izuku is blown across the battlefield, and lays there w/o moving
afo feels sick, all might just looks pleased
"ive done pretty well wouldn't you say?"
afo just stares at him
"ive created the perfect hero. selfless down to the last breath, filled with overwhelming power and determination."
"he's flawless. isn't he."
afo wants to gag
"so, in creating your 'perfect hero', you find it acceptable to sacrifice your own humanity?"
"absolutely"
(all mights been small might for this conversation i just forgot to mention it l m a o )
they exchange their final blows
izuku shakily gets up from where he lays crumpled on the ground and staggers over to all might, where he stands victorious over afo
iida, todoroki, shinsou, Bakugo, the people who have seen what yagi has done to izuku and how he has treated him are now slapped with the realisation that the number one hero and the person hurting their best friend are one and the same
shinsou punches a wall, bakugo looks like he's about to be sick. iida and todoroki look shell shocked. ochako is just lost and confused
all might wraps izuku is a hug, where izuku hides his sobbing face. all might whispers something in izukus ear, not that the cameras can pick it up
"come on now, heroes don't cry."
izuku takes a breath, wipes away his tears and steps back. All might rests a hand on his shoulder and looks into his eyes, and loud enough for the cameras to pick up and announces
"you're next."
izuku nods solemnly
in the back of a conference room, vlad watches as aizawa goes deathly pale in realisation. at ua, nezu watches on with a degree on concern. at the hospital, the clueless members of 1A cheer. those who know more feel nervous, those who know the most feel sick.
the internet goes fucking bonkers. all might transformed, defeated a crazy villain, and literally declared his successor live on television
izuku and all might end up in the same hospital room, and all might,,, allmight.. ye.
anyway, the kids from the rescue attempt call aizawa over and over and over. every teacher, student, pro
any hero of ua staff they have anyway of contacting, begging to find out where izuku is right now. aizawa would tell them if he wasn't going exactly the same thing himself
eventually recovery girl calls him and he hightails his way over. fyi inko isn't there bc shes passed out drunk at home uwu
he bursts into the hospital room with as much dignity as he could possibly have and it's not really very much. doctors are hovering around, stitching wounds, taking blood, and watching an ecg pretty closely (they felt the room for a minute and izukus started going crazy, so they thought something may have happened to his heart)
the amount izuku perks up when he sees aizawa is heartbreaking he rushes over and immediately starts looking him over, apologising and telling him he's brave and that he's sorry he couldn't be there to help and izuku tears up. all might is glaring a hole in his back but aizawa doesnt give a shit right now, his kid basically go taken by the boogeyman and his unstable son, then has a target painted on his back on live tv. aizawa gives 0 shits ab all might right now
izuku just looks stunned, and then he lets out a watery giggle
"you shaved, sensei."
and aizawa is caught between crying and laughing. gently asks izuku if he can give him a hug, and izuku looks so shocked he was asked aizawa heart breaks again. izuku nods shyly and gets a Good Dad Hug
aizawa stays until izuku falls asleep, then he rounds on all might
“I don’t know what you’ve done to him, but he looked more afraid to be stood next to you than a man who has killed countless. Whatever you did, you won’t be doing it again.”
All might goes to say something, anything, but aizawa grabs him by the front of his hero costume
Aizawa tells him in no uncertain terms that he’ll never be alone in a room with izuku again for as long as he lives.
And with that, he storms out, leaving all might to stew.

ok so i dont want to post anything to ao3 before im entirely done, but heres the beginning of my superhero au
tw : abuse (physical & psychological)
Tam was finally starting to relax and was getting ready to sleep when his phone vibrated on his bedside table. The lit up screen of his phone, diffusing a red light in the dark room, indicated a supervillain attack in town. Since he was a superhero, he couldn't exactly ignore it, so he got up with a grunt and checked what it was about. Apparently, the alert came from the automatic alarm of one of the biggest jewelries in town. Robbery. Pretty common. He should be back home in less than an hour if the guys were the usual type.
The real question was why he received the alert since it was supposed to be his day off. The answer was evident when he looked outside of his window to see multiple trails of smoke in two different areas of the city. Perks of living on the 46th floor of a skyscraper he supposed. He was able every Major Threat around, unless it was a mind control thing.
 Since the other heroes were apparently busy and he hadn't been pegged to party, he put his costume on and got ready for the fight.
Ondine wasn't exactly well known in the hero world and to be honest, he wasn't well-liked by those who knew about him either. Something about being new and having typic supervillain-like powers Sophie had told him. She had also told him that the people's opinion would change with time, but two years later that still remained to be seen. He still hurried to the scene, wanting to know exactly who was the jerk who stopped him from finally falling asleep.
Turns out the jerk in question was also a clown. Seriously, who went to rob a jewelry store in a neon, color clashing, eye straining costume and expected to be taken seriously ? maybe he didn't and was just there for shits and giggles. If he hadn't been a hero and was therefore supposed to be a model, Ondine would have killed him for stealing his day. This buffoon didn't even look like he was wearing a real mask. He could honestly swear he had seen the same exact one at Walmart the day before. At least taking him out would be easy. Maybe he wouldn't even need his powers.
He pulled out his rapier and prepared to strike. It was a simple move, supposed to knock out, not kill. It was a move that had worked each and every time he had tried it on low grade villains like this guy. So you could say Ondine was surprised when it was immediately blocked by this guy -- Hazart, they had called him. He didn't know if the misspell was supposed to mean something or if this guy was just that bad, but at least he could use a sword.
Ondine, who was used to defeating most of his opponents with his rapier instead of his powers was incapable of getting one solid blow in. Hazart was really good, at least his equal, if not better with his weird, glowy, appeared out of nowhere longsword. Which meant Ondine was going to have to bring out the big guns as soon as there was an opportunity to do so. 
The opportunity in question took shape in a particularly violent strike which left them both on the floor a few feet from each other. Ondine immediately started taking possession of the shadows lurking in the corners of the shop. This guy might have been good, but Ondine was nearly unbeatable in the night. Unfortunately for him Hazart seemed to see the opportunity as well. Maybe. Honestly he had no idea why this guy had started gesticulating in the air at nothing. He had no no idea why he was signing perfectly good ASL with a hand -- about how hot he thought Ondine was apparently-- and making weird gestures with the other. He decided to ask him.
“What the fuck are you doing with your hands ?” he signed back. Hazart froze for a moment before replying. Probably wasn't expecting an answer. He smirked.
“Wouldn't you like to know.” And before Ondine could react, a gun appeared out of thin air. A 8 feet long, glowy, kind of transparent gun. For a moment, he still didn’t understand what was happening. Then he saw Hazart taunting him with his right hand and still gesticulating with the other. “I’m drawing,” he signed, a wide grin on his face.
Then ondine has the gun pointed on him and has to get over the shock to summon his shadows next to him. Hazart might have been good, better than most of the people he had fought, but he was still no match for him in the night, and all the dark it offered. Shadows surrounded Hazart immediately, blinding him.
Ondine had thought that not being able to see would stop Hazart from “drawing”-- as he called it-- but it didn't. 
He just kept drawing like he had when he could see, and soon he had conjured a bunch of shurikens he started throwing at him. Dammit, he was making it hard to concentrate. And he needed to, because even though Ondine was in great control of his powers, there was always a risk of striking too hard if he didn't pay attention. Shadows were dangerous. 
Eventually though, he found an opportunity and immobilized Hazart. He put a sharp shadow under his shin, the blindfold back on, hoping it would at least slow him down a bit if he managed to escape and waited.
He could have tied Hazart’s hands behind his back right then, but he wanted to see Hazarts reaction first. So he stayed where he was, immobilizing the guy’s legs and head, but letting his arms free. after all, he could just knock him out if he tried anything. So he waited. Waited for the “freak”, or “why don't you want to join my villain group” he always got once people discovered that he wasn't in fact a hydrokinetic like his name and costume suggested. It never came.  
“Dude, these powers are so cool !” Hazart said from under the shadow blindfold that was covering pretty much his entire face now. Ondine was taken aback for a bit, not expecting the comment nor the voice. “What the fuck are the water name and costume for ?” 
Nope. This guy was shutting up right this minute. He scoffed and put a shadow over Hazart’s mouth and tied his hands behind his back. Only then did he remove the blindfold. He probably shouldn't have done that if he hadn't wanted Hazart to escape. His bad. He turned his back on him for a second to clean the place up a bit, but when he turned back, Hazart was standing on the other side of the window, ready to bolt.
“I'll see you around, Blue Tokoyami.” He made finger guns to ondine and ran.
Now Tam could understand why he had chosen Hazart for his name. This guy was a complete idiot. 
He was pretty sure he could have caught him pretty easily, but honestly he was kinda too lazy to do so. And he had gotten the diamonds back so everything was right in his book. He 
sighed and left the scene.
He hoped he would be able to finally get a little sleep once he returned to his apartment.
____
Keefe was already hurting everywhere from the fight he had had with Ondine. “It will be easy, even you will be able to do it”, they’d said. “No one will be there, they will all be busy with us,” they’d said. Well they had been wrong. It hadn't been easy, he had not succeeded and he hadn't been alone.
He sighed and entered the hallway. With a bit of luck he wouldn't run into any--
“My my, what do we have here.” Keefe turned and looked at Gethen, getting ready for what was likely to come. “I heard you couldn't even defeat a single hero ?” He tutted, getting closer and grabbing Keefe’s chin in his hand. “Boy, you need to toughen the fuck up.” Then his knee was in Keefe’s stomach and he saw butterflies.
He didn't really fight back, he never did, just letting the storm pass. There was no point anyway. He knew Gethen was better at close combat, and the protections in the Manor stopped him from using his powers.
So he laid on  the ground, making himself into a tight ball and took it. He had to anyway. Gethen was right, he should have been able to beat that hero with no problem. He had been training for it his entire life, yet he had been beaten. So he waited for it to end. And once Gethen was done, he simply walked to his room and slept. The kicks and punches would bruise, but at least he was pretty sure he had managed to protect his face.
He was definitely hurting in the morning. He took a shower and cleaned his cuts before preparing for another day.

Rick's April Fool's Prank
Tumblr media
The day started out normal for Rick, which usually began around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Running a saloon often kept him up late, even well after it closed. Mostly because liquor needed to be ordered or a some bill needed to be paid.
However today he felt was different as he went into his office, where there was a calendar pinned to the back of his door. On it he saw that it was April 1st, which meant that it was April Fool's Day. He stood there and stared at the calendar for a moment, thinking back to when he lived in New York where he and his pals would share laughs over pranks they pulled on each other. They were mostly harmless, but very hilarious.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, bringing him back to the present. He stepped back and called out, "Come in."
In stepped, Ugarte, who like many of the other patrons at his cafe was a refugee. "Hello Rick!" He said in a soft voice, a cigarette between his lips.
Realizing, he hadnt had a cigarette in a while, Rick went into his desk and pulled out a fresh pack. Upon opening it he realized that these weren't regular cigarettes...these were candy cigarettes. He pulled one out and looked at it, dumbfounded for a second. Then he noticed a note tucked inside the box. He pulled it out and in perfect cursive he read, "April Fool's! From Louis". Rick smirked. That little shit.
"What's the matter Rick?" Ugarte asked, letting out a puff of smoke.
"Are you familiar with a holiday called April Fools?" Rick asked, going into the drawer and taking out a new pack, hoping this one wasnt candy.
"I've heard of it. Why?"
"Because we're about to play a little April Fools prank on Captain Renault." Rick answered, a far off look in his eyes as he planned out the perfect prank in his mind.
"We?! This wont get me arrested will it?" Asked Ugarte, feeling concerned. He had already been arrested a couple times and did not enjoy his time spent at the Casablanca jail.
"Nah. Dont worry about it. I got it all figured out." Rick assured him. He leaned close to Ugarte and wrapped his arm around his shoulder, pulling him close. "Now here's what we're gonna do..."
Later that night, after a long days work Renault walked into the cafe expecting to have a nice relaxing evening. He sat down at a table and ordered a scotch. Today called for such a drink. It was a very stressful day at work. So many people asking for exit visas and not one was a beautiful woman.
He took a sip of his scotch and wondered if Rick had found his little surprise or not. Rick smoked liked a chimney, sometimes worse. He seldom saw Rick without a cigarette in his hand, and if he didnt have one it was usually replaced with a drink.
"Captain Renault!" He heard Rick's voice call out from behind him. He turned his head and saw Rick headed towards him, wearing his usual white jacket. "Ah! Good evening Rick!"
"How is everything?" He asked, trying to strike up a conversation.
"Fine. Same as usual. By the way, I found your little present." Rick told him pulling out the fake pack from his pocket. Renault smiled, delighted that his little prank had worked.
"I hope you enjoyed the candy."
"Maybe next time you should try a box of chocolates?" Rick remarked.
"I'll try to remember that for Valentines Day."
"Oh! That reminds me, theres a woman at the bar asking for you." Rick told him. Renault sat up, interested.
"Oh really?"
"Yea, shes been asking about you all night. Shes sitting over there in the green dress and hat." Rick answered, somehow managing to keep a straight face. Luckily for him all those years of playing poker finally paid off.
"Mmm. I see. Well, I'll talk to you in a little Rick." Renault said, downing his drink, and excusing himself from the table. He strode over to the bar, adjusting his jacket as he went.
"Good evening. Mind if I sit here?" Renault asked, politely in his most charming voice.
"Not at all." A soft voice said, waving to the bar stool beside her. Somehow the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't place it.
"Thank you." He sat down beside her. He tried to get a glimpse at who it was, but her face was hidden behind a dark veil.
"I'm Captain Renault." He said, introducing himself. "I'd like to buy you a drink."
"No thank you. I dont want to impose." The woman said.
"Think nothing of it. Only the best for a beautiful woman such as yourself." Renault said, ordering two glasses of champagne. The woman giggled. If only she would remove that veil so he could see her. He trusted Rick. If he said she was beautiful then she probably was.
Rick stood nearby listening to the whole thing. This was perfect. Too bad he didnt think of it before.
"So, what brings you to Casablanca? I assume you're not from around here, otherwise I would know." Renault said.
"Oh but you do know me Captain." The woman replied. Renault stared at her confused.
"I do?" He asked, leaning close, but the woman just turned away.
"I think I would remember someone like you." Renault prided himself on remembering all the beautiful ladies that stepped foot in Casablanca.
Rick bit his lip, trying to stop himself from bursting out laughing. Renault was falling for it. Hook, line, and sinker.
"You havent touched your drink." Renault pointed out. Surely, she would have to lift the veil to take a sip. Why was this woman being so mysterious? Was this some kind of game? If it was, he was interested.
"I'm not very thirsty." She said. Renault sighed growing impatient. Who was this woman and how did she know him?
"Why dont you take off your hat? Let me see you." Renault implored, touching the woman's hand softly.
"On one condition." The woman began. "That you kiss me."
Renault raised his eyebrows, stunned at such a request. To his knowledge he had just met this woman, even though she said differently. His curiosity got the better of him. He had to know. A little kiss wouldnt hurt.
"Alright." He agreed.
Rick held his breath.
He leaned forward and slowly lifted the veil. His eyes grew wide and he quickly pulled back, realizing who it was. "What the--?!" He exclaimed.
"Hello Captain Renault!" Ugarte said, smiling playfully. Renault was speechless, his mouth agape. Rick burst out laughing, unable to contain himself any longer.
Renault turned to Rick who revealed himself from behind one of the pillars. "April Fools!" Rick laughed.
"So this was all your doing? I should have known." Renault said, after the shock had worn off.
"That was great! Your face was priceless." Rick told him, mimicking his expression. Renault chuckled. He had to admit that was a good prank. Rick was lucky, if it were anyone else they wouldn't have gotten away with it. But he liked seeing Rick enjoy himself...even if it was at his expense.
"Next time I'll have to be more careful." Renault said, getting up from the bar.
"What about that kiss?" Ugarte teased.
Without looking away from Rick, he answered, "You're not my type. Sorry to disappoint."
Ugarte pretended to be offended. Rick tapped him on the shoulder, "Dont take it too hard. His type is generally young, pretty girls who need visas."
"There are exceptions." Renault said, locking eyes with Rick. Rick became quiet for a moment, not entirely sure what he meant by that.
"I guess we're even now, huh?" Rick asked.
"For now." Renault answered, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "I'll get you good next year."
Rick chuckled. He couldn't wait.

I cant write anything short I guess. I gotta work on that. I'm kind of new at writing comedy. Hope you guys enjoyed it though! 😁

Could you analyze a Sylph of Void? Please and thank you
hell yeah, i can!
lets start with the basics, as always. 
sylphs tend to be meddlers, whether for better or worse, but they always do what they see is best. they love to educate people on their aspect, tell/show them the correct thing about their aspect. they can be great teachers in this respect. or just absolute know it all assholes who you just want to shut up and wanna deck because all they do is talk down to you (the duality of the sylph).now, for void. its all about secrets, unknown, things that are yet to be discovered/recognized, untapped potential. people like to interpret void as just complete Nothingness, and while theyre not completely wrong, its not the whole story. i love that telling of it because it just adds to the power of void in the telling of homestuck. so many people just avoid it because of thinking they have it all figured out when its so endless like all the rest of the aspects. they all have mounds of untapped potential we have yet to think of yet. but, thats another post. 
this is a rather quite and reserved sylph. they tend to keep their opinions to a minimum and only speaking when spoken to because they prefer to be the enigma. they have their strong as fuck opinions, but only say them when its needed to keep ideas that they dont want said/thought about/encouraged, dead. 
theyd come off as really calm people when really, theyre bitter as fuck. doom and gloom to those who hold differing opinions. a sylph of void is one of those people who is alive out of pure spite, tbh. if they are even slightly religious, you can BET they pray to their deity and ask “hey, can you strike down this one guy because they said that doroitos taste bad because i fucking love them. kaythanksbye.”
god, they probably got the worst resting bitch face, so theyre on those lists at school/work thatre like “most likely to gut someone for a singular potato chip,” when in reality theyre fairly nice to those around them until you say something to get on their bad side. 
i know ive been saying a bunch of shit bout them, but most of that was for shits and giggles. they do seem cold because of how shy they are, but theyre actually pretty nice! it takes a bit to chip off that chilly exterior for them to get comfortable around you, and even longer for them to feel comfortable for them to share their full book of Reviews On Everything because that shit is locked tight under the wickedest most hardcore chunk of void we can possibly dig up. 
basically, tl;dr, the sylph of void is secretive cause they have trust issues for whatever reason, but give them time and youll get all kinds of dirt on something or another and itll be fucking good along with a top notch friend in the process.

RYAN: -back at it again at the silvah dollah. it's kinda nice to have someplace new to stalk around the later hours of the day. she knows it's not exactly advisable for various reasons to transportalize out onto the satelite isolated far from her home. but... whatever. it's comfortable here and finding comfort elsewhere, somewhere more familiar, is a difficult task for her.-
RYAN: -she's hanging out at the counter again, poking at the remaining contents of a strawberry milkshake and being far less chatty than she was yesterday.-
SILVAH: -Given that there's not really much ON this station other than Skaianet research facilities, private research facilities and basically....the one resturaunt at least there's not much trouble Ryan can get up to up here. Silvah is just finishing cleaning and restoring his stocks from last night. He stayed up far too late and got a little drunk himself, but he's in good spirits. He's fairly sure the reopening was  rousing success and that he's gonna make back the money he spent on the deck. Big man is boppin with the radio as he works until he finally makes his way back behind the counter and sees Ryan there. His fins flick.-
SILVAH: Blondie!
SILVAH: I thought I made a regular outta you.
RYAN: -perks up, immediately putting on a smile when she hears his voice, but it's definitely half hearted.-
RYAN: naturally??? youve got some great vibes going on here. :blush:
SILVAH: I built it that way babycakes, but that don't mean it ain't nice to hear.
SILVAH: -starts restocking the baked goods displays as they chitchat.-
SILVAH: You had some pretty good vibes yourself last night. -Not so much today though, huh? He's peepin on her.-
RYAN: again. naturally! as a new regular youll soon discover im always the life of the party. :wink:  -leans on the counter, chin in her hand.- SILVAH: That's quite a claim. Maybe I should think about buyin a leaderboard. Huh huh.
SILVAH: Sure are cute though. Feel like I should be payin you to sit there and look pretty.
RYAN: well im not about to turn down that offer. :hugging: 
RYAN: ive got a pretty lengthy resume as a professional cutie. you wouldnt regret the decision.
SILVAH: Now, now. I'm not totally sold.  You strike me as a troublemaker too.
SILVAH: Acutally now that I'm thinkin about it, the round robin never made it to ya.
SILVAH: What's your story?
RYAN: :scream: 
RYAN: its not polite to ask a lady such questions...
RYAN: which is definitely NOT something a troublemaker would say. :thinking: SILVAH: Keepin it close to the vest I see. That's fine. I'll get it out of ya eventually.
SILVAH: Food is great at makin people talk. RYAN: -chinhands intensifies.- yeah? what do you find is the best thing to feed a person to get them to share their life story? SILVAH: Somethin' caffeinated.
SILVAH: I'll tell you what- I'm crossin strawberry milkshakes off the list as of today.
RYAN: -giggles. geez... it feels good to laugh.-
RYAN: okay fine. youve fed me enough lines to change my tune. :stuck_out_tongue: 
RYAN: youre right about me... i am a troublemaker. but im trying to cut back these days. SILVAH: -Seems satisfied at getting her to laugh. And to crack.-
SILVAH: Respect, little lady. It's not easy.
SILVAH: I'm also one of those.
RYAN: yeah? what are your vices?
RYAN: mine incluuuuude... -checks them off on her fingers as she says them in an attempt to keep it light.- running away. all manner of narcotics. and beautiful sad men and women that only break your heart.
RYAN: so you know. the standard really.
SILVAH: You're right. That is a hell of a resume. -Scratches under his  fat chin with Robut hand.-
SILVAH: Lesee....I'm right there with ya on runnin away. Dissapointin my family. Sexual deviancy. An you may have noticed that I like to eat a lil bit.
SILVAH: We already got the makins of a pretty good country song. Too bad that's not my favorite genre.
RYAN: hehehe. id love to inspire any kinda song really.
RYAN: but other than that it seems weve got a lot in common. -sips milkshake.-
RYAN: ive been... disappointing a lot of people for a long time. but i feel like i really dropped the fucking ball again recently. :weary:
SILVAH: -Now he's got both fins angled towards her.- You wanna get into it?
SILVAH: Don't gotta. But if you feel like you need to I have time.
SILVAH: That's how I got so fat. I'm full of secrets.
RYAN: -snickers and shrugs, swirling the straw around in the glass thoughtfully.- well... guess theres no harm in it.
RYAN: since youre being so nice and charming. :wink: 
RYAN: things have just been... i dunno.
RYAN: first i fell off the wagon.
RYAN: definitely disappointed my family... and probably my boyfriend. or like. whatever our deal even is. -sighs.-
RYAN: then my ex comes along and starts pulling some burn book bullshit... spilling all my secrets. pissing off my friends. making aforementioned romantic relationship all the more complicated. i think.
RYAN: ugh. -just sighs. it's hard to really dig deep when it's all so frustrating, so she just kinda slumps a little.-
SILVAH: Mm. Did ya say some things you regret?
RYAN: -nods slowly, pouting a little.-
RYAN: yeah. so much stupid shit.
RYAN: im trying to fix things but... i dont know--
RYAN: i dont know what im doing half the time.
SILVAH: -Pauses for a minuite, and while he's processing all the vibes he's picking up from her he's making himself look busy, which is something he's pretty practiced at by now.-
SILVAH: It's not the easy route. It's easier to keep cuttin out. Start over somewhere where they don't know ya. But that would be a waste in the long run.
SILVAH: If you keep tryin eventually they'll see the effort and appreciate it. Even if you're graspin at straws and you say all the wrong shit. RYAN: -peers up at him, finding that answer... strangely comforting. she gets the sense he understands. maybe because of his own experiences, or just because he's used to dealing with sad sacks like her. it was kind of a cliche. in any case, she's quiet for a moment as she thinks it all over too. her voice is a little hushed when she does speak, a bit embarrassed by admitting the things she is... but knowing full well she needs to say it.-
RYAN: i feel like my efforts are pushing him away.
RYAN: alienating him cuz he feels guilty too. hes always stuck in his own head.
  RYAN: i think he feels like hes not good enough. but i dont really get it. im the one who kept running away.
RYAN: he never did anything wrong. at least i dont think he did. it just-- a shitty time. and i dunno if its ever gonna pass so long as im around to remind him that-- fuck.
RYAN: -puts her head in her hand with a sigh.- sorry im not making sense anymore.
SILVAH: -Frowns as he takes this in, and at the same time takes in extra information. All her good intentions, the desperation that go along with them.- Y'know most of the time tryin to anticipate what someone's gonna do or why they feel the way they feel is real misleadin. Unless you have a real blunt discussion about it, you could never know. You might've fucked up, but it don't mean every bad thing that person's feelin is your fault.
SILVAH: The stuff you can pin down as yours is what you should concentrate on, is what I'm sayin.
RYAN: -peers up from behind her hand, eyes glossy with sadness but... there's some hope too. she laughs a little, trying not to seem too broken up about the stuff going on in her head.-
RYAN: i hear you.
RYAN: i just...
RYAN: wanna know im making someone happy for once.
RYAN: you know?
SILVAH: -She seems so vulnerable, it almost hurts to look. They're barely acquaintances at this point, but he doesn't care, he's gonna lightly reach out and touch her hand with his non robotic one.- You got yourself a super acheivable goal there, blondie. I think you're gonna be ok.
SILVAH: -Backs it up with a warm smile too. Believe him. He belives in you!-
RYAN: -well... it's hard not to smile when it feels like someone believes in you. and for some reason, in this moment she kind of believes it too. she doesn't mind the touch. she welcomes it in fact, feeling a little bit touch starved lately.-
RYAN: ill definitely be okay if i keep coming back for these milkshakes...
SILVAH: Hah! You think I'm gonna let you keep orderin just milkshakes.
SILVAH: -Pats her hand, gives it a gentle little squeeze and then releases her.-
RYAN: -giggles again. what a big softie...- i thought the customer was always right???? rude ass...
SILVAH: -Laughs with her. Huh huh huh.- I'mma personally fight whoever came up with that horse shite. The customer ain't right even half the time, let alone always.
SILVAH: This is the only place in the goddamn world where I control everythin. It ain't a fuckin democracy.
RYAN: -snorts and then full on cackles.- geez!!! then i guess ill have to refer to your expert opinion every day im here. :wink:
  SILVAH:  Heh heh. S'long as its real food some of the time I'll be a happy clam.

Victor Nikiforov May As Well Replace Your Smartphone
Yuri!!! On Ice © Kubo Mitsurou
This is a work of fanfiction, simply written for the purpose of enjoyment and entertainment. I gain no financial profit from writing this.
i. He could be your alarm.
"Yuuri, wake up! We have morning practice today."
Groaning, his palm searched for the duvet and hoping he could pull them up to cover from the chill. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found. So instead, he settled for curling like a cat and burying his face on the pillow. He knew Victor had raised the curtain without even opening his eyes and he cursed under his breath.
He hated mornings.
Just as he was almost dozing off again, a hand shook his shoulder and he groaned louder than before.
"It's morning, Yuuri. Wake up wake up wake up wake up―"
"Let me sleep..." Yuuri finally mumbled out words, muffled by the pillow yet still audible.
"Nope! Wake up now or Yakov will be mad."
The bed sank near his sides and suddenly a full body weight weighted down on him, his eyes snapped open. "Victor! You're heavy! Get off of me!!"
Victor's arms rested on his shoulder blades with his head on top of them. His toned body should've weighted several kilos more than Yuuri considering his height but he lied comfortably on top of Yuuri, legs swinging back and forth.
"Then promise me you'll wake up~" His neck could feel Victor's breath in his every word, he shivered from the sensation.
"Okay okay!! I'm awake now!"
Giggles were clear on his ears as Victor removed himself from Yuuri. He exhaled a deep breath before searching for his glasses on the nightstand. He stretched his arms and back before walking towards their bathroom, yawning.
It was when his hand reached the doorknob that his phone went off with the alarm.
He returned to the bed and picked up his phone beside the pillow and turned off the alarm.
Ever since living with Victor and sharing the bedroom, he had always been woken up before his alarm went off. Usually he would be hitting the snooze button several times before actually waking up and regretting those extra minutes of sleep he took. In some other times―most of the times, actually―he would just sleep through the alarm ringing in the background.
Regret befell Yuuri every day.
Still, he repeated yet again the very next day.
Yuuri unlocked his phone and clicked on the clock settings. There were eleven alarms listed from 07:00 to 07:10 each having one minute gap.
But now with Victor waking him up every day, his alarm hadn't been doing its job.
He deleted them one by one until his alarm list was empty.
Victor was a better alarm, after all. Instead of just sounds in the background, Victor sometimes even dragged him to the bathroom and helped him brush his teeth. One effective morning alarm, Yuuri should say.
ii. And push notifications.
"Yuuri, Phichit mentioned you in Twitter."
"Your fans said on your tagged video that your step sequence is even more beautifully refined now."
"Wow, your photo reached 500 likes in the first five minutes. Your fans must be delighted you finally posted something."
"Oh, Chris said you look adorable in the photo I just uploaded. You should reply something, Yuuri."
"Yuuri! You really should come and read this thing one of your fans linked to you!"
"Yurio commented on your photo, Yuuri. Should I reply for you?"
Yuuri sighed.
He preferred turning off push notifications for his SNS since they distracted him most of the time. Reading nice comments were nice, but he would prefer to avoid the chance of reading harsh comments and ruining all his confidence for the day.
He wished they had options to filter the positive comments from negative comments.
Who would have thought Victor would gladly be his push notifications filtering only things he needed and wanted to know.
iii. Even be your personal music player.
Yuuri loved music.
He had a good number of songs stored in his phone. From classical to pop songs, video game soundtracks and even catchy Thai songs Phichit recommended. He loved listening to them when he's doing chores, waiting for people, or listening just for the sake of it. He brought his headset with him anywhere, in case he needed them.
But lately his headset had been kept neatly in his bag, only used in practice since he's sharing the rink.
"―che tu... hm―ato forse abbando―hmm..." Victor kept humming while his hands busy washing the dishes.
Yuuri stopped scrolling his Instagram feeds. The lyrics sounded familiar.
He had to say, in all honesty, Victor Nikiforov the living legend, was a bad singer. A really bad one. Out of tune, messy tempo, off pitch. The first time he heard Victor's singing, he had to stare full two minutes at the gorgeous man brainstorming the title of the song he was singing.
However, this time the lyrics caught his attention and he felt like he knew those lines.
Yet Victor wasn't really singing at the moment; he's half humming half singing and Yuuri had a hard time making out the title.
"Victor, do you know you're a bad singer?"
Victor stopped the work of his hands and looked over his shoulder to Yuuri who was resting his head on Victor's back. Face down with his phone hiding between himself and Victor's back. He didn't say anything so Yuuri lifted his head up to meet Victor's eyes―only to see him pouting, before muttering one word; "Rude."
And Victor continued with washing his dishes.
But he continued singing anyway and Yuuri leant his forehead to Victor's back again, smelling the detergent on Victor's sweater before resuming with the feeds of his SNS.
And after a few lines of lyrics Victor sang, Yuuri finally recognised the song.
Ah, it's Stammi Vicino, Non Te Ne Andare.
He hummed quietly following Victor's messy tunes as the lead while waiting for his fiancé to finish working with the dishes so he could give Yuuri the hug he needed.
Might not be the best music player, but Yuuri enjoyed the time he spent trying to figure out the song Victor's singing and humming along Victor's messy rhythm and tunes.
iv. Update your SNS.
After drying off his hand on the dryer, Yuuri took his phone from his pocket which had buzzed a few times while he was washing his hands. He checked and it was a text from Phichit.
dont go yet, I hav smth I need to give u!!
Yuuri frowned and replied, Don't go where?
dont go from the restaurant! I'm around the area, just give me 5 minutessss
He was about to type 'how did you know where I am?' but he stopped and cleared the text field. This had happened a few times before. He closed the text messaging app and opened his Instagram instead. It loaded up with Victor's post was on the topmost.
A photo of Yuuri happily enjoying his extra large serving of katsudon, checked in to the location of the restaurant they're at right now.
Oh.
Of course.
Even without needing to update his own SNS, all his information starting from his location, what he ate, even his activities for the day were all for the world to know through Victor's account.
v. Functions as your translator.
The shoes he tried on fit so well on his feet. But he still thought the colour was too striking for him. An attendant was standing near the display so Yuuri waved his hand and she approached him.
"Excuse me; do you have any other colour for this design?"
She gave him a quizzical look and Yuuri cursed inside his head.
Right, now that he wasn't really in tourism spot anymore of course he should have conversed in Russian and not English.
"Eta obuv'... duru―dru..." Oh shit. Yuuri can't remember the word he needed. He quickly fumbled his pocket to get his phone when someone's hand pressed firm on his shoulder. The voice calmed his getting-rapid breaths.
"What's wrong, Yuuri?"
Oh, Victor came back from the restroom.
"I wanted to know if they other colour for this pair of shoes."
Victor smiled and turned his head to the attendant, "Yest' li drugoy tsvet dlya etogo?"
"Da, pozhaluysta, podozhdite," she nodded and left for the storage room.
Yuuri sighed in relief.
He had been learning Russian bit by bit ever since knowing Victor personally. Yet the intention only solidified after he moved to St. Petersburg. He wanted to be able to at least do daily conversation, but with all their practice for the upcoming season―he just hadn't the time.
And since Victor would be helping him with communicating for the time being, he figured he could take his time before he's fluent in Russian.
vi. Free time? Why play games when you have Victor Nikiforov?
Yuuri had an app of MMORPG in his phone. There was an account with well-levelled character logged in it.
He wasn't as active as he was back in high school, being busy and all. But he made sure to log in occasionally just to the get daily log in bonus (which monthly stamps he never filled in anymore). Then when he had longer free time, he would play for an hour or two.
He loved video games. It's just not too compatible with his lifestyle at the moment.
He missed whole tons of special events and bonuses. Not that he could blame or complain to anyone.
Then lately Victor had been occupying his free time with any kind of activities. It could be just out for shopping or revising their programs. Making his account even more abandoned than before.
He loved his time being occupied with Victor, it was warm and soft and nice and comfortable.
But was he sure to leave his game he loved so much for this?
"I want a day in a week where I won't be disturbed at all for at least four hours."
"Why!?"
"I've been neglecting my game."
And just with that, Victor quietly complied and tried to fit their plans for shopping and other things on one day of the weekend and leaving the other day for Yuuri's game time. He thought it would be harder to convince Victor, but Yuuri was glad Victor understood without commenting more on it.
But of course, at first, whines could be heard from the four hours of Victor being neglected.
Yuuri felt bad for ignoring him and even pondering if he should cancel his request.
But the third week was quieter since Victor settled himself for reading his books on the same couch and tangling their feet in silence. Sometimes knees brushing, or simply leaning on another's chest feeling each other's warmth while doing their own things.
Victor was a good replacement for game time or so did the other way. But Yuuri decided he wanted both his Victor time and game time instead of one replacing the other.
vii. And probably be your reminder?
Weird.
Something had been bothering him since they returned from afternoon practice today. They got home and had lunch, then proceeded to laze on couch watching TV while Makkachin rested on their laps. It's almost evening and Yuuri still couldn't focus on the TV drama Victor loved―not that he could understand what they're saying even when he's focusing.
"Victor... Are we supposed to be somewhere this afternoon?" he finally asked.
"Mm... Nope. Why ask?"
"Just a feeling."
Was it just him, then? But the weird feeling as if he'd forgotten something still hadn't left his chest. Was it a promise for a meal with Yurio? No, he would've contacted them if they didn't show up otherwise. What about their shopping list? Probably there's a sale or something th―
"Ah!!!!" Yuuri nearly shouted, still loud enough to startle Victor.
Panicked, Victor asked, "W-what is it, Yuuri!?"
"Your dentist appointment―" No need to finish his words to get Victor wide eyed. Quickly taking his phone and noticed the time had long past their appointed time. Victor groaned, Yuuri followed.
"I should call them to apologize for this and make new appointment," Victor dialled the number from his contacts.
Yuuri sighed and unlocked his own phone too, accessing the Reminders. He had two lists on them, one of them was "Shopping List" while the other one was titled "Victor".
He accessed the latter and saw several lines there, empty check boxes on each of the lines' left side.
Release date for Victor's fav author's book 26/04/2017, 09:00 am
Buy Yurio a cat if he breaks his own record in Nationals
Meal with Chris Tomorrow, 01:00 pm
Interview with IFS magazine 11/02/2017, 10:00 am
Costume fitting 12/02/2017, 11:00 am
He never needed the app for his own interviews, costume fitting, appointments or promises. So now he wondered why he had to be the one keeping this list in his phone instead of Victor doing it on his own.
Reminders was one of the app that he ignored and sat quietly in the last page of his phone before, but now he's fully utilising the function of this app.
.
(Ah, unfortunately Victor Nikiforov still doesn't support Reminder feature.)
End.
a/n1: this turned out cuter than I thought.
a/n2: (sorry for if the Russian part was wrong, I used google translate since I know nothing of the language.)
a/n3: thanks for reading!!!

RYAN: *leads jack outside the building to places unknown, mostly because she's forgotten what's in this area of town. but she doesn't care too much about where they're going anyway, she just wants to talk. she's quiet for a long moment, holding onto his arm and entirely too focused on that.*
RYAN: sooOOOooo...
JACK: *Glad to follow her down the riverside outlets. It's where the hotel was at after all. Also, Jack has no idea what the sights look like. He's just going by the sounds. The water's not too far off and the fancy high end restuarants are playing music.* This is nice. *comments, letting his cane tap at the pavement.*
RYAN: yeah.
RYAN: yeah thats what i was thinking too.
RYAN: haha...
RYAN: *keeps stealing glances before she makes herself focus ahead.* i didnt expect to see you here. or everyone else really... but i guess i was hoping.
RYAN: even though i was pretty much terrified of it too?
JACK: *Oblivious to her stealing glances.* I expected it. And I figured it would be more managable to rip at it like a bandaid.
JACK: Done.
JACK: Quick, fast, and in a hurry.
JACK: Everyone you ever took issue with all in one room. What happens next will blow your fucking mind...
JACK: Which was nothing.
JACK: It was painless, more or less. Just like collecting laundry.
RYAN: yeah. *laughs a little about it.* i dont really get why though...
JACK: *tilts his head as if considering* Maybe we were all just waiting for you.
RYAN: *looks at him again, brows knit and curious.* did you think id come back...?
JACK: For a while I didn't know. *he looks on* But then I did.
JACK: And it turned out alright.
RYAN: *coming back has been an emotional time, something she's mostly kept to herself, but hearing that makes it ooze out just a little as her throat constricts and her eyes water. it hurts worse to hold it back, but she's still trying.* i...
RYAN: yeah.
RYAN: haha... i guess it did.
JACK: *He can hear the emotion coiling in her voice. Something that would have made him apprehensive and uncertain before... was now reflecting back at Jack with the most clarity he's ever had experience with. He found himself feeling the pain with her, like he had always meant to.*
JACK: *squeezes at her arm.* Some place to sit would be nice.
JACK: Any benches around?
RYAN: oh shit right. yeah. *clears her throat and guides him to the nearest one. luckily there's plenty of places to sit in such a scenic area. she slides onto the bench, still holding him at the end of her arm.*
RYAN: pop a squat.
JACK: *And pops a squat he does.* Thanks.
RYAN: *can't help thinking back on that day on lauctis when they met on a bench just like, deciding to run away from it all. it's funny to her how they wound up running still, in completely different directions, and yet here they are again... she's probably overthinking it. but she still finds herself leaning on him a little bit.*
RYAN: is it alright if i asked what happened? with your eyes?
JACK: *He feels her lean on him and it's nice. Familiar. He's smiling a little.* I went fucking blind.
RYAN: ... listen.
RYAN: dont be a bitch.
RYAN: *wheezes gently*
JACK: *He's smiling more.* I've always been a little bit of a bitch.
RYAN: no fucking kidding... goddamn. *well, she's grinning. it feels good to goof off. she hasn't had fun in a long while.*
RYAN: here i am trying to have a serious conversation here... and you go and sass me.
JACK: Life has been too serious for my taste. *taps his fingers along the head of his cane.* It could stand to light up about some things.
RYAN: now thats the smartest thing ive heard all damn day. *giggles*
RYAN: ive been so... gloomy lately. and worried about coming home.
RYAN: everything just went to shit out there.
RYAN: itd be nice to have some fun again.
RYAN: *sways a bit, nudging against him* we used to have a lot of fun together right?
JACK: Yeah. I remember. *He thinks he can smell her perfume as she nudges at him. Tickling at some fondly meloncholy memories.* I'm having fun right now.
RYAN: heh... me too. *rests her head on his shoulder as she continues to sway, humming along with the music in the distance.*
JACK: *Just listens to her, stirring in the pleasant swirl of his thoughts. Sometimes it was just nice to sit like this... existing.*
RYAN: *resumes like this for a few quiet moments, enjoying the comfort of a familiar presence, and the promise that things would be alright. but she does eventually speak up again, though her voice is soft.*
RYAN: i missed you.
JACK: *Taking everything into consideration, it all boiled down to one simple fact for Jack.* Yeah. I missed you too.
RYAN: *looks up at him with her cheek still resting against his shoulder and smiles. she's still melancholic, reflecting on the past. everything that went wrong, between them, and for the both of them individually. but it feels bittersweet. already, it felt like old wounds were healing, and she's so glad she decided to come back.*
RYAN: im gonna stick around this time.
JACK: *He finds himself smiling again. Glad that when she spoke, the messages stopped being so complicated in his head.* I'm proud of you, Ryan.
JACK: Now... all that's left to do is go up.
RYAN: *the words seem to strike her right through the heart. her smile widens, and the laughter that bubbles out of her is watery all over again. the last thing she ever expected to hear when she came back was that someone was /proud/ of her. it's not like he knew just how badly she fucked up (as far as she knows) so maybe he just doesn't understand... but shit, she'll accept how it makes her feel a lit
RYAN: tle less like a failure.* yeah... hahaha... fuck. *wipes at her eyes, trying to avoid messing up her make up too bad. stupid tears.*
JACK: *brings his hand up, disregarding how smudged her make up might become and just... holds her to him. Letting her curl and sniffle and do whatever else she needed to do.*
RYAN: *no... she's going to fight him for being so sweet. like it's all so effortless. there's so many feelings she never forgot surfacing once again, making her heart race, but she didn't really expect anything like this to ever happen. she does curl against him as her tears fall, placing her hand over his and squeezing tight.*
JACK: *The quiet is heavy, disrupted only by the sound of music in the distance. In the end, Jack squeezes her hand in return. Continuing to stroke her hair with his other.* It's not much...
JACK: But the good news is the worst is over.
JACK: I hope you know that.
RYAN: *exhales, trying to steady the tears and the shake of her breathing. she ultimately smiles again, nuzzling against him.* i do now.
JACK: That's a relief. *hums* Of course. People usually cry when they have their faces pressed to my tits.
JACK: It's a normal thing.
JACK: A fate I have come to accept.
RYAN: *snrk...* okay cool so you wont be offended if i wipe my snot all over your tacky shirt here.
JACK: I've had worse wiped on me. It's fine.
RYAN: hehehe... actually its kind of growing on me. i dont think ill desecrate it. *smooths a hand over the fabric, which incidentally his chest is underneath it.*
JACK: *He's still as solid as ever. Workouts are kind of mandatory nowadays...* I'm sure it's a nice shirt. It's pretty good at soaking as far as I know.
RYAN: *god fucking bless these pecs. pat pat...* now it sounds like you want me to blow my nose into your tiddies.
RYAN: weird kink... but i guess i know of weirder.
JACK: *He's at such peace right now.* Correction-- crying on tiddies. That's what really gets me going.
RYAN: oh baby... then why dont we go back to your place put on some marley and me and really heat things up.
JACK: Hm. Can't say I'm very into dogs dying. Sorry.
JACK: *says this but he sounds amused.*
RYAN: okay then what would be your preferred method of inducing tears?
JACK: I daresay we have time and science on our hands.
JACK: Maybe it should be looked into.
RYAN: *internal wheezing.* well /i/ daresay you might be onto something there.
RYAN: i gotta take you home at some point anyway.
JACK: *All of Jack's smiles look too smug. It's a great feeling.* Excellent segueway.
RYAN: *she wants to punch his smug face!! with her mouth!!* why thank you. ;)
RYAN: gimme your address ill call a cab.
JACK: *And so... he does just that.*

Princess Zuki waves sheepishly,,,
Assassin Lavi wow r00d

Assassin Deak: ...are you hurt?

Princess Zuki mr kanda can u teach me how to talk to people
Queen Alma whats happening
Assassin Deak looks back to nea Assassin Deak: years of practice.
Assassin Lavi sauntering over to the queen with his hands behind his back casually
Assassin Deak: dancing is an area of expertise for me.
Knight Kanda princess, i literally do not talk to anyone unless im bossing them around, attempting to murder them, reading their death messages before theyre murdered, threatening them or doing things of the sort Knight Kanda i doubt it is a good idea
Conman Nea no kanda thats a GREAT idea
Princess Zuki ,,,,does that mean ur going to kill me
Conman Nea: I can tell. Conman Nea: It was... refreshing to be a part of.
Assassin Deak: i'm quite glad~
Assassin Lavi little respectful head dip at the queen Assassin Lavi: Enjoying the evening, Your Highness?

Queen Alma looks over and smiles politely
Assassin Deak i'm mean to everyone
Queen Alma: Certainly. However, it's more important that my guests enjoy than myself. Has your time been well?
Princess Zuki sIGHS
Assassin Deak: ;; i 'm gonna have to lay down for a lil bit bc m head is swimming
Messenger Cecil aA Messenger Cecil err Messenger Cecil: Um, m-my apologies, ma'am. It is the clothes that gave it away... Messenger Cecil: These are expensive fabrics...
Princess Zuki sighs again Princess Zuki: i suppose so, but still...
Assassin Lavi: Indeed, my time has been very enjoyable, Your Highness. But should the host not enjoy herself as well? I'm sure I am not the only one who feels as such~ Assassin Lavi just going to throw in a cute little head quirk for good measure
Messenger Cecil looks down understandingly Messenger Cecil: Is this.. Is this your first ball?

Princess Zuki: i don't tend to leave the castle often, i-if at all.
Messenger Cecil nods
Conman Nea the bartender is my new best friend
Queen Alma: Nothing makes me more happy than seeing others enjoying their time. That's the point of a party, after all.
Messenger Cecil: Ah, I see... Well, are you enjoying yourself...?
Queen Alma like a dog, right Queen Alma how a dog tilts its head when its confused
Princess Zuki: um... i-in a sense..?
Assassin Lavi more or less ye
Messenger Cecil s a v a g e
Princess Zuki: it's... different.
Assassin Lavi chuckles a little bit
Messenger Cecil looks at her questioningly Messenger Cecil: How so?
Assassin Lavi: To each their own means of enjoyment. Assassin Lavi: Has there been a favorite part of this party for you so far? Assassin Lavi just gonna casually lean on a wall and chill here for a bit
Princess Zuki: i've mostly been by here the whole time. a-although, earlier, a very nice man taught me some dance moves...! that's about it, though.
Conman Nea time to be obnoxious Conman Nea and sit on the edge of the food table
Princess Zuki ....stares at nea
Messenger Cecil ahh
Queen Alma thoughtful humming
Assassin Lavi get your ass off the table don't be r00d
Conman Nea henlo losers

Conman Nea i like to feel tall
Messenger Cecil at nea
Conman Nea glances around
Assassin Lavi sorry to break it to u but
Conman Nea: ..Yes?
Assassin Lavi ur never gonna match us trees
Queen Alma: Perhaps the assortment of character that has walked through the door? It is interesting to see the various types of people.
Conman Nea he's confused Conman Nea shut up giant
Queen Alma yeah the trees win no offense
Messenger Cecil aw Messenger Cecil furrows his brows in confusion
Assassin Lavi: Indeed. And the masks just make them all the more colorful characters, do they not? Assassin Lavi this is how u bond right
Messenger Cecil: Um, what are you doing on top of that table, i-if I may ask? Messenger Cecil: A table is hardly a place to sit...
Conman Nea: My feet are tired and I like being close to the food.
Messenger Cecil ,,, Messenger Cecil glances around
Conman Nea: Unless you'd like to grab a chair for me?
Queen Alma: Absolutely. Surely there's something about the... secrecy. No one would ever know who someone truly is here, not entirely. Perhaps a guess or two, and maybe a correct guess, but never fully.
Conman Nea swings his legs
Messenger Cecil uh not really but
Queen Alma: Like hiding behind shadowy curtains, perhaps?
Messenger Cecil: Um, s-sure...
Assassin Lavi hums
Conman Nea smiles Conman Nea: You have my thanks.
Messenger Cecil glances at zuki and then , goes to get a chair
Assassin Lavi: Good reason not to hang curtains
Messenger Cecil I cant believ this
Assassin Lavi chuckles a little
Messenger Cecil dips his head back at nea
Conman Nea this is fuck in ggreat Conman Nea what else can i get this guy to do
Messenger Cecil fetches a chair and carries it back Messenger Cecil :I Messenger Cecil don't use m e Messenger Cecil: Here you go, good sir

Conman Nea looks so damn pleased with himself
Princess Zuki is still staring tbh

Conman Nea snaps suddenly Conman Nea: oh, drat, I forgot.
Messenger Cecil wh
Conman Nea looks at cecil with a small frown Conman Nea: I meant to grab another glass of wine before I settled down. Conman Nea: I don't suppose you'd be so kind...?
Queen Alma: That and with the drunkards they'd tear them down on accident.
Messenger Cecil .......
Assassin Lavi now he's really laughing
Queen Alma looks at lavi, curiously tilting her head Queen Alma: Pardon me for the odd question, but there were two of you, correct?
Messenger Cecil: Err, perhaps one of the servants can be of more help to you...
Assassin Lavi: Mayhaps less "on accident" so much as-- Assassin Lavi hmm so she saw them did she
Messenger Cecil glances back at zuki Messenger Cecil he lp
Conman Nea blinks at him Conman Nea eyes widen
Princess Zuki narrows her eyes at nea
Assassin Lavi: I did come with like company, yes.
Conman Nea raises a hand to his mouth Conman Nea: Oh my. Conman Nea: I thought... Conman Nea: Nevermind.
Messenger Cecil oh no
Conman Nea: My apologies.
Princess Zuki glances at cecil n then baCK AT NEA

Conman Nea adjusts his collar softly Conman Nea: I thought you were the help.
Assassin Lavi he sighs and shakes his head a little bit
Conman Nea: My sincere apologies.
Messenger Cecil h
Princess Zuki: i believe that role goes to you, sir.
Messenger Cecil sucks in a sharp breath
Princess Zuki OOOOOOOOOO
Assassin Lavi: Must bring along family to these sorts of things, you know? Else you'll never hear the end of it.
Conman Nea blinks at zuki Conman Nea: I beg your pardon?
Princess Zuki: i do not need a face to spy the difference between a commoner and a royal. Princess Zuki: your actions say all. Princess Zuki sips apple juice
Messenger Cecil can I leave now........
Princess Zuki yes u may
Assassin Lavi aHAHAHAHAAA BYE NEA
Queen Alma: I wouldn't know, I have no siblings. However, he'd be your brother then? Surely an event is more enjoyable with family, assuming you get along.
Conman Nea: That's a hefty accusation.
Assassin Lavi getting called out by a teenage shut-in
Conman Nea: And after I was so kind to you, who thought you'd insult me like that.
Queen Alma: hefty hefty hefty ]
Princess Zuki: tell me, where do you hail from?
Messenger Cecil looks between them
Assassin Lavi: omg }
Princess Zuki: { LMAO
Messenger Cecil internally hhhhs
Assassin Lavi: It can and can't be. Assassin Lavi smiles wryly
Conman Nea: A small continent to the east. I hold land there. I'll admit, I may not be the highest of ranks, but an Earl is still leagues above commoner.
Conman Nea lying out his ass
Princess Zuki: does this continent have a name?
Conman Nea: || shit i need a name Conman Nea: || something that'd Actually Exist
Messenger Cecil: ( koongdom
Princess Zuki: { KOONGDOM

Conman Nea: Anyways. Conman Nea: As I've said. Conman Nea: I apologize for the mixup.
Princess Zuki coUGHS AND CALMS DOWN FU CK THAT WAS FUNN Y
Assassin Lavi: I do not dislike him to any capacity, but siblings can do things which are... tiresome, sometimes.
Princess Zuki: y-you... you are no royal, my dear.
Assassin Lavi: But family is family.
Messenger Cecil mutters,
Princess Zuki: you put me in mind of another royal, but no. Princess Zuki cough cough cross cough cough
Conman Nea glances at zuki
Conman Nea: You've no way of confirming that
Conman Nea taps his mask
Princess Zuki: ....
Queen Alma: Surely. Something cannot only singularly be one thing, and surely not something as changing as a human. It is good to keep family closest to you.
Messenger Cecil: Ma'am, I worry this man may have had a little more to drink than is good for him. Perhaps we should leave...
Princess Zuki takes off her mask OOOOO RULE BREAKER
Messenger Cecil oh shit
Queen Alma: Have you had a drink, Sir... Queen Alma looks thoughtfully at him
Princess Zuki: allow me to introduce myself.
Queen Alma: I don't believe I caught your name?

Messenger Cecil welP Messenger Cecil starts back Messenger Cecil I have to go right now immediately
Conman Nea ohh Conman Nea that's who she is Conman Nea: I wouldn't have thought you'd leave your castle with the state your kingdom's in.
Assassin Lavi: I have had a few drinks already, all of excellent taste. My compliments to whoever chooses your wines. And it seems I am popularly "Red" tonight, or so goes the theme with others here tonight who find need of a name.
Princess Zuki slowly puts her mask back on
Messenger Cecil oOOOOOOo Messenger Cecil daMN NEA SAVAGE
Princess Zuki: my advisors did their jobs and told me to attend. Princess Zuki: i did not want to, but they convinced me to.
Messenger Cecil slinks,, away,,,,
Princess Zuki sips apple juice some more tbh Princess Zuki: tell me, would you say the same to queen alma?
Conman Nea raises a brow
Princess Zuki: i can smell her from a mile away.
Messenger Cecil l maO
Princess Zuki BOOM ROASTED
Conman Nea: Of course not
Messenger Cecil is going to leave
Princess Zuki: and why is that?
Queen Alma: Surely you'd divulge more than an alias? Queen Alma wtf is ur real name tho im curious :(
Messenger Cecil accidentally finds himself leaving out of the back door instead of the front door
Assassin Lavi chuckles a bit
Messenger Cecil henlo garden
Conman Nea: I'd have no reason to insult her management-- Her kingdom isn't in shambles.
Assassin Lavi: You're the first who's insisted on it. Assassin Lavi hums
Messenger Cecil oOOOoOOo
Princess Zuki: her kingdom is an untrustworthy cult, prepared for war at the drop of a hat.
Messenger Cecil daMn
Queen Alma im gonNA FIGHT Queen Alma IN TWO SECON ds
Conman Nea sips his wine
Queen Alma wait Queen Alma that just proved the poin t
Conman Nea: They're loyal to their queen and willing to defend her at all costs.
Messenger Cecil lma o
Assassin Lavi pffft
Conman Nea: I envy what she's accomplished here.
Queen Alma thanks nea
Princess Zuki: tell me, sir.
Conman Nea np toots
Queen Alma if i werent a single ruler id offer u the throne
Princess Zuki: where do you truly hail from? Princess Zuki: if it were cicia, you would have killed me by now.
Conman Nea: It's not Cicia, nor this one. Really, my origins are of no interest to you.
Princess Zuki: oh, but they are. Princess Zuki: just how your true identity is as well.
Conman Nea: I'm just a simple Earl who came to enjoy tonight's festivities
Princess Zuki: but yet here you are, conversing with the princess of a falling kingdom.
Conman Nea: by pure chance
Princess Zuki: have you nothing better to do than to waste your time with meaningless banter?
Conman Nea: banter is the point of these gatherings
Queen Alma: How odd. I would have assumed more would wish to know your identity.
Conman Nea: I'm a friendly man Conman Nea: I like making friends.
Princess Zuki siPS APPLE JUICE Princess Zuki: yet here you are, making an enemy.
Conman Nea: I would never have known your origins had you not revealed it to me. Conman Nea raises his hands Conman Nea: I still mean you no ill will, Princess.
Princess Zuki: i do not appreciate liars, mr. Princess Zuki: i did what i believed had to have been done.
Assassin Lavi: Very well. My name is Astor, son of Aestor, Duke of Limlan. Not much of a title considering how far removed from major routes Limlan is, but to some of lower nobility, far removed is preferable. Less political pleasing to do, more getting things practical done. But it helps to see how the higher nobility handle things as well in places more populated such as this.
Queen Alma fuCKiGN LIAr
Assassin Lavi totally lying out his ass lmao
Princess Zuki just kinda. bends down so she's eye to eye with him
Conman Nea stares back Conman Nea he's not cracking
Princess Zuki: a true noble wouldn't be sitting around the food table.
Conman Nea: I told you, I'm not quite a member of 'higher society' Conman Nea: Just a simple Earl.
Princess Zuki ....
Conman Nea: Here to enjoy the luxuries of the Queen
Princess Zuki takes his mask off---

Assassin Lavi: I would be happy to give you the grand tour, though I think you will find Limlan is composed mostly of open countryside. It may be a good change of pace from your usual scenery however.
Princess Zuki: ...you seem nervous. are you sure?

Queen Alma so ur drunk is what ur saying
Conman Nea a little
Princess Zuki is just kinda. staring off. the nea thing put her in a bad mood dhfjghg
Queen Alma: I— how much did you drink...? Ah, well, if the wine was to your liking then all is well. No harm will come to you here, worry not.
Messenger Cecil heads,, back inside

Conman Nea: Just... Just a few glasses. Conman Nea chuckles
Princess Zuki nods and just. forces a smile
Assassin Deak : >
Princess Zuki: i'm fine, i promise.
Assassin Deak inches,, closer,, to,, kanda
Knight Kanda: ...
Conman Nea: I'm glad to hear it, though. Things aren't as stable and safe in some of the other kingdoms these days.
Knight Kanda: If you insist, Princess. You can tell me if something is the matter, though, no matter what it may be. Knight Kanda i f uckking see you
Assassin Deak B')

Assassin Deak OOOOO ARE WE GONNA STAB SOMEONE?
Assassin Lavi ffs Deak I caN'T LEAVE U ALONE FOR 2 SECONDS
Assassin Deak let me have fun Assassin Deak you tolD ME TO HAVE FUN Assassin Deak tO RELAX
Queen Alma: Truly. It is a sad occurrence, and the royalty of certain Kingdoms are... perhaps unfit to take care of the people. I hope it is not the same from where you come from, Sir, that would truly be tragic.
Assassin Deak that's what i'm do in g
Queen Alma im just saying zuki,,, ur kinda,,, unfit to rule in my opinion,,,,,,,,,,
Princess Zuki h e a r s y o u t a l k i n g s h i t
Assassin Lavi dyING DOESN'T COUNT AS RELAXING
Princess Zuki sqUINTS IN THAT DIRECTION
Assassin Deak uh?? yES?? IT DOES???
Queen Alma looks over in zuki's direction briefly
Conman Nea shakes his head softly

Assassin Deak hey, Assassin Deak hey, lavi Assassin Deak watch this
Princess Zuki w i l l c u t u
Assassin Lavi nO
Princess Zuki via kanda but
Assassin Deak :3c
Conman Nea: Though I appreciate the concern. It's good to know that your compassion doesn't stop with at the borders of your land.
Assassin Deak ok ok,,
Assassin Lavi BAD
Knight Kanda zuki why would you use me to cut the queen who would declare war instantly
Knight Kanda that is bad planning
Messenger Cecil asdfghjk
Princess Zuki she wont declare war if we kill her,,, Princess Zuki WHO AM I TONIGHT I AM NOT ZUK I
Queen Alma: I'm glad to hear it. We can strive for perfection, but surely not reach it unfortunately. I care for the people of my Kingdom, true, but also those who are affected by negative decisions. People should be safe wherever they are, no matter who rules them. Even those who may be misled in their... methods. Queen Alma very casually looks at zuki one more time before casually looking back at nea
Knight Kanda zuki n o Knight Kanda you're as bad as that stupid shadow guy
Princess Zuki gl A RI N G
Knight Kanda that i was going to kick out of the window
Conman Nea wow this chicks an angel
Messenger Cecil no mercy
Princess Zuki mumbles Princess Zuki: she's looking over here.
Knight Kanda: Who?
Conman Nea: The world needs more people like you. Perhaps then there'd be less fighting.
Princess Zuki: the queen.
Knight Kanda looks over at the queen for a second Knight Kanda: She looks to be talking to that... man?
Princess Zuki: she was looking here. i saw her. Princess Zuki is tired
Conman Nea why you gotta be pausing like that Conman Nea im manly af

Messenger Cecil adgji lmaO
Knight Kanda: Is there a problem with her looking over?
Messenger Cecil rip nea
Princess Zuki: ... Princess Zuki: ...we should go. Princess Zuki Is Tired
Messenger Cecil aw
Knight Kanda: ...If that is what you want, then we can leave now.
Queen Alma: You flatter me, sir. There are people better than myself, but what I can do to help I would do without second thought. Enough about me, however. What about yourself? Surely you have stories to share.
Assassin Deak .... :3c
Queen Alma zuki ur really really really a pacifist
Assassin Deak or you could declare war.
Princess Zuki SHHHHJ MEG FUCKED UP TONIGHT
Assassin Deak declare war on each other.
Princess Zuki OLD ZUKI KEEPS POPPING IN N SAYING HEY LIKE THE LIL BITCH SHE I S

Assassin Lavi: you are in so much trouble right now
Princess Zuki turns and just. staRTS WALKIN AWA Y
Assassin Deak just looks at him blankly and just Assassin Deak points at him Assassin Deak: do i know you?
Queen Alma: I can't say I expected more from a Kingdom's ruler that cannot keep her Kingdom in line, but surely I expected a bit more for her keeping a singular person in line.
Princess Zuki is about to crY Princess Zuki stops Princess Zuki is reALLY about to cry Princess Zuki: ...my apologies, your highness. it will not happen again.
Assassin Deak s n i c k er i n g Assassin Deak lowers his head and murmurs,, Assassin Deak it's pretty unintelligible tho
Queen Alma: Your promises don't hold much when you equate them to the prosperity of your Kingdom, dear.
Princess Zuki u should be thanking me for not having a heart attack right here right now
Queen Alma: You are far too young and far too naive to sway, much like a dandelion compared to a rose. Queen Alma: Your advisers should think better should they have the right head to do so.
Assassin Deak: are you sure i'm... the one in trouble?
Princess Zuki if u look close enough u can see her starting to shake :'))
Assassin Deak kekekekek
Queen Alma sighs Queen Alma: Ruling isn't a job for a wilting child, dear, perhaps you should pass the torch sooner than later and let them try to fix the shambles of your Kingdom.
Princess Zuki: ...y...yes, ma'am. Princess Zuki should let cicia fall like daethen did---
Queen Alma that is literally not what i said Queen Alma: One last thing: Queen Alma: Don't ruin the lives of your people just because your life won't last. That isn't fair to them.
Assassin Lavi: Yes Assassin Lavi : /
Assassin Deak looks at him again Assassin Deak hhhhhhh

Queen Alma: Both of you.
Assassin Deak: yes, your majesty.

Assassin Deak: ...
Queen Alma: Surely you were taught better.
Assassin Deak: yes, ma'am, we were.
Assassin Lavi: I do apologize, your Highness. I will be sure to keep him on a tighter leash from now on, as he was taught better than this.
Assassin Deak growls softly @ lavi
Queen Alma: I may not agree with the child's methods of ruling, but at least she has her age as an excuse. Queen Alma sighs Queen Alma you all suck this is why nea's my favorite
Assassin Deak: ...i have no excuses, ma'am. i am very sorry.
Assassin Lavi don't u growl at me I'm not the one who dumped WINE ON THE ANGRIEST KNIGHT HERE
Princess Zuki iS DOING HER BES T
Queen Alma: As you have said many times, sir.
Assassin Deak dips his head,,
Queen Alma: Apologies only fix so much, and words only express a quantifiable amount. See to it that you control yourself in the future.
Assassin Lavi: We shall see to it, your Highness
Queen Alma i have to clean this mess you bitcHES
Assassin Lavi grabs Deak by the ear and marches him away
Assassin Deak: if there is anything- Assassin Deak hHH OWWWW Assassin Deak oW OW OW Assassin Deak oW
Assassin Lavi: SOMEONE is getting a re-introductory course to his ettiquette lessons : /
Assassin Deak h e lpm e
Queen Alma no one here is going to help you
Assassin Deak: ow... ow, ow, ow....
Princess Zuki is still cryin outside tbH
Queen Alma and i actually liked you, 'astor' Queen Alma : ' (
Assassin Deak ,,, Assassin Deak i'm?? sorry for oNCE
Assassin Lavi loOK I WASN'T GOING TO LET MY FAMILY GET KILLED even if they are a dumbass APPARENTLY
Assassin Deak I'M ACTUALLY SORRY FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE
Princess Zuki aRE U SORRY TO ME OPR ALMA
Assassin Deak I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M SORRY
Queen Alma i rule a kingdom
Princess Zuki i do too
Queen Alma sorry doesnt do much
Princess Zuki but im also dying of heart disease n desperately searching for someone to take the throne before i die
Queen Alma do you know how many murderers come in and go 'im sorry'? Queen Alma do you expect me to forgive everyone who says im sorry Queen Alma do you thinking ruling a kingdom is that easy? Queen Alma because if you do, i hope to every god that you don't rule a kingdom Queen Alma : /
Princess Zuki ....ma'am you're one to talk because your kingdom just loves you oh-so much you don't have to do anything
Assassin Deak ,,,
Queen Alma why do you think my kingdom loves me, princess Queen Alma please explain
Princess Zuki you have them all fooled with your cult
Queen Alma what cult do you keep talking abOUT
Princess Zuki i try to give my people peace and hope, but apparently not declaring war on daethen is a crime in and of itself Princess Zuki thE BULLSHIT PROPHECY STUFF
Queen Alma you come into my kingdom Queen Alma insult the religion we believe in Queen Alma and then question why my kingdom runs smoothly Queen Alma whereas yours doesnt
Princess Zuki you insult my beliefs i insult yours
Assassin Deak o damn
Princess Zuki mine doesn't because GOD FORBID I DON'T START A WAR
Assassin Deak FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Queen Alma i insulted your method of ruling Queen Alma not your beliefs
Princess Zuki i believe in peace for all Princess Zuki you believe in survival of the fittest
Queen Alma if you cannot make sacrifices for the good of your people, you are unfit to rule
Assassin Lavi hey Zuki how much would u pay us for silence : )
Princess Zuki what sacrifices are to be made? we are not in danger. we never have been and the people are angry over nothing
Queen Alma youre naive, you believe in this idea of 'peace for all', but that doesn't exist Queen Alma and thats why your kingdom is dying
Assassin Deak : )
Princess Zuki it DOES exist. anything exists, just like your piss-poor excuse for a unicorn
Queen Alma how is my unicorn a piss-poor excuse for a unicorn Queen Alma if it is a unicorn Queen Alma ,,,,thats a logical error
Assassin Lavi fallacy
Princess Zuki my kingdom is dying because my people refuse to accept me as their leader, even though i have put everything on the line for their sake. i refuse to let any harm befall my people Princess Zuki my kingdom will be peaceful, even if it takes my death to change it. we are not fighters; we are defenders
Queen Alma you defend from nothing if you fight for nothing
Princess Zuki we have nothing to fight for Princess Zuki these people have everything. what else is left to give?
Queen Alma if they had everything, they wouldnt be revolting Queen Alma so evidently they dont have everything
Princess Zuki i'd be able to do something about it if they would give me an answer besides some petty revenge spew
Queen Alma you refuse to take and so they refuse to give
Princess Zuki take???
Queen Alma take from others what they want — their revenge for something they loved
Assassin Lavi u people and ur politics
Queen Alma arent you busy schooling your family member
Assassin Lavi nah I got one better Assassin Lavi my gramps schooling my family member :3
Princess Zuki meg is running out of shit to say so here's zuki crying again
Queen Alma oh, alright
Assassin Deak someone help me
Princess Zuki iS CRYING X40
Assassin Lavi hey so if u die crying can I have ur throne
Queen Alma wow
Princess Zuki no im giving it to kanda Princess Zuki revenge on all u fuckers
Assassin Lavi but I taught u how 2 dance before u died that oughtta mean something Assassin Lavi would Kanda have taught u 2 dance
Queen Alma: kanda voice from afar: yes
Princess Zuki: { dude how long would kanda have even been with zuki Princess Zuki: { hes like early thirties right??? n zuki is 15
Queen Alma: he started his knight training when he was around sixteen and now hes in his early thirties so ]
Princess Zuki: { dANG THATS LIKE 14-13 YEARS
Queen Alma: well if i say he's 32 and he started when he was 16 then he's been there for,, sixteen years ]
Princess Zuki: { G O D HES BEEN THERE SINCE BEFORE ZUKI WAS EVEN BOR N
Queen Alma: yeAH ]
Assassin Deak what do i get?

Princess Zuki

Knight Doug are you going to attack back? Knight Doug or are you just going to trash talk?
Pegasus Knight Lena i feel like trash talking
Knight Doug >:I
Pegasus Knight Lena and seeing if you're ever gonna do something useful w/ that stick you call a sword
Knight Doug spins before delivering a blow hopefully to her leg
Pegasus Knight Lena wHY DID YOU SPin doUG
Knight Doug bECAUSE IT TECHNICALLY HELPS Knight Doug IT PUTS MORE POWER INTO THE BLOW
Pegasus Knight Lena and makes you more vulnerable to miss and get hit back if you do miss Pegasus Knight Lena thats predictable bc u have 2 spin which takes more moving
Knight Doug good job pointing that out Knight Doug now fight me
Pegasus Knight Lena cant u see im busy criticizing
Knight Doug s TOP AND FIGHT ME
Pegasus Knight Lena moves backwards to avoid the swipe before swinging back at him bitch u gotta use brute force not some twig
Knight Doug o k Knight Doug ge ts hit and grips the wound with a hiss Knight Doug glares at her before moving back, trying to calculate another attack Knight Doug o i was wrong about that, oops Knight Doug haha silly isa,,, spinning reduces power
Pegasus Knight Lena moves forward and swings the sword down at him
Knight Doug pARRIES!! Knight Doug takes a step back and huffs
Pegasus Knight Lena hOW THE FUCK DID U PARRY WITH UR STUPID TWIG

Pegasus Knight Lena steps backwards ow i was poked by a twig Pegasus Knight Lena v injure
Assassin Deak: kick his ass!
Pegasus Knight Lena ur stupid baby sword cant puncture armor smh Pegasus Knight Lena these r the medieval times not the french revolution loSEr
Knight Doug takes another swing at her legs >:I
Assassin Deak this is almost painful
Pegasus Knight Lena moves back again for a second before stepping forward when the movement is completed, swinging the broadsword in a left arc
Assassin Deak is tempted to just Assassin Deak draw his dagger and end doug himself
Pegasus Knight Lena chILL DEAK Pegasus Knight Lena WHAT IS WROng
Assassin Deak >:IIIII
Knight Doug uM?!?! Knight Doug t ak e s the hi t Knight Doug because he's a man not a wimp Knight Doug has two bleeding gashes now but
Pegasus Knight Lena no thats bc ur stupid
Knight Doug he isn't gonna give up
Pegasus Knight Lena being a man is knowing how to step back out of the general area of being hurt
Knight Doug will you like Knight Doug leave me alone? Knight Doug let me live while i still can??
Pegasus Knight Lena you agreed to fight, so no
Knight Doug bc i'm probably going to die before the end of this au Knight Doug isa changed his mind
Pegasus Knight Lena brings the sword up and swings it down towards doug since he isnt moVING
Knight Doug parries again, panting just a bit Knight Doug ok are you wearing any like face gear or
Pegasus Knight Lena you mean like a helmet
Knight Doug yeah Knight Doug that thing Knight Doug isa's tired ok
Pegasus Knight Lena not one that's covering my face, just the sides and back of my head
Knight Doug : > Knight Doug takes swing at her face, hopefully to cut across her cheek and to her lips Knight Doug : >
Pegasus Knight Lena nOT COOL
Knight Doug THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR CALLING MY SWORD A TWIG
Pegasus Knight Lena gets cut and steps back
Knight Doug quickly steps back afterward
Pegasus Knight Lena: It still cuts like a twig.
Knight Doug hums Knight Doug: perhaps you'd like another cut.
Pegasus Knight Lena: Perhaps you'd like to find a better sword.
Knight Doug: have you perhaps got one i can borrow? Knight Doug: i was not expecting a fight.
Pegasus Knight Lena: Unfortunately I'm lacking a spare at the moment.
Knight Doug: ah. Knight Doug: that's quite alright. Knight Doug: perhaps we should wait until i have a better weapon since this is unfair?
Pegasus Knight Lena: Is it unfair if that's the weapon you choose? Pegasus Knight Lena: Should a Knight not be prepared at all times to be good?
Knight Doug: like i said... i was not expecting a fight. i came as a messenger.
Pegasus Knight Lena scoffs Pegasus Knight Lena: A knight being a messenger surely sends a message.
Knight Doug hums Knight Doug: with a king like cross, i think you would understand.
Pegasus Knight Lena sheathes her sword and shakes her head Pegasus Knight Lena: A pity to have a King like that.
Knight Doug takes a deep breath before sheathing his sword as well Knight Doug: ...he means well.
Pegasus Knight Lena: Sure, if not he would have been overthrown long ago.
Knight Doug: i will not argue. Knight Doug: i see no point in it. Knight Doug: ...it has been nice to see you, though... old friend. Knight Doug smiles and turns to walk back to get himself some wine and patch himself up
Pegasus Knight Lena: OooOOo o ] Pegasus Knight Lena: in te n se p ain ]
Knight Doug: ;; l aUGHS AND CRI E S
Assassin Deak: ... Assassin Deak: you... Assassin Deak: you know him?
Pegasus Knight Lena scoffs and wipes at her face Pegasus Knight Lena: No.
Assassin Deak hums,, Assassin Deak: why did he call you old friend then? Assassin Deak tilts his head Assassin Deak: there must be some sort of connection between you and him.
Pegasus Knight Lena: You ask a lot of questions, don't you? Pegasus Knight Lena: I haven't the slightest idea, though.
Assassin Deak: i suppose i do. Assassin Deak: i'm a very curious man.
Pegasus Knight Lena: Curiosity killed the cat.
