Do you have any OCs? If so pick 1 and tell me about them. If not, tell me about a comfort character?
oh i have so many ocs. i'll go with yarrow from what's best described as Flower Symbolism: The Story (untitled cat story is the actual current name) since i've been thinking abt him lately
Tumblr media Tumblr media
that's him (for clarity, gender-wise, he's a transmasc nonbinary lesbian who probably invented cat hrt). the flowers are anemone (forsaken, sickness, anticipation, undying love, eternal peace according to wikipedia) and rainflower (I love you back, I must atone for my sins, I will never forget you) btw. if you even care.
he was originally based on wd gaster from undertale but has since evolved quite lot. other inspirations include jon sims (the magnus archives) and five pebbles (rain world) so you can probably guess at how deeply cringefail he is. world's first deadbeat lesbian fr
oh yeah he has kids. who he kind of semi-neglects in favor of trying to un-kill his dead wife. like the normal and well adjusted person he is.
these are the kids btw their names are marigold (yellow, he/him) and cascade (blue, she/her). flowers are yarrow, marigold (both chosen more for the family theming), and wormwood (absence, bitter sorrow)
Tumblr media
and this is the dead wife (tundra, she/her). flowers are acanthus (art, immortality, rebirth) and forget-me-nots (true love, don't forget me).
Tumblr media
ultimately he does end up reviving Tundra btw! however, the Narrative shows no mercy, and he winds up taking her place as the dead one. except he's also simultaneously not quite properly dead and significantly more than the usual amount of dead--he's stuck outside the story as the narrator.
he also has a sister! her name is Belladonna. they used to be very close, but as he grew withdrawn following Tundra's death, she became bitter. she was also the one to introduce them in the first place. this is her:
Tumblr media
flowers are tansy ('I declare war on you').
before Tundra's death (which was in a lab accident), he was a well-known scientist and historian. while he dabbled in a bit of anything and everything that grabbed his attention (like the adhd queen he is), his main fields of study were always engineering, biology, and history; especially that which pertained to the civilization that came before The Change, an unknown cataclysmic event that threw the world out of order and is also believed to be around the time cats developed sapience + a longer lifespan. many of their ruins can still be found--hell, the capital of Skyfall, where the story takes place, is in the ruins of one of their cities.
following tundra's death, of course, he abandoned all that, throwing all his energy and time into finding a way to bring her back. this desperate effort eventually lead him to an as-of-yet unnamed anonymous group spread across the city and nation (as they don't have internet, they mostly just left notes in set out-of-the-way places), where he found a lot of his most important leads on the topic.

some of these folks only got minor tweaks, such as leafy, td, and balloony, but others like gelatin and bubble needed a complete overhaul! my old designs were badly drawn and very stupid, so i’m happy to have them finally looking decent!

also ok I'm SO close to just listing off every Endeavour wip you might have BUT i'm especially intrigued by Wyoming (you know me, I'm a one-trick pony xD) and Jarse hair as well!!
Thank you so much for giving me so much opportunity to talk about all my (stalled) projects, I love it :D
You guessed correctly that Wyoming may possibly be about one Peter Jakes. Jakes calls Morse, unhappy in Wyoming, and they become phone pals - and then Morse goes out to visit him. What I've got written for this is pretty thin, so I don't know if I'll ever flesh it out into a full story, but here's an excerpt:
“Hope was… a wild child, in Oxford. It’s what I liked about her. No respect for the rules.” He catches Morse’s look and laughs. “Not like that, not the big ones. But the shoulds and should nots. You know, curfew. Sex before marriage,” he says sheepishly.
Morse nods. “And when she came home, she wasn't?”
“No, she was.” He sighs. “I thought… I loved that, I did, but I thought a kid, marriage. It changes things, doesn’t it?”
“Usually.”
“She was… is, a free love kind of person. She wasn’t exclusive in Oxford, but neither was I, you know that. Marie, Lilian, Janie.” Morse nods, although in actual fact he never paid that much attention to Peter’s stories, certainly not enough to remember names years later. “She says we have an open marriage.”
Morse swallows, hard. “Is that, uh-”
“To put it into language you speak, Morse, it means she’s out cuckolding me a couple of times a month.” He spits the words, but keeps himself angled towards Morse, betraying that there’s no anger directed his way. He laughs, bitterly. “‘Course, I’m free to do the same. Just don’t have quite the network she does having lived here her whole life.”
Jarse hair is even scanter, I'm sure there was a full idea once but turns out now it's only 222 words actually written down! I think my idea was Morse associating haircuts with going into prison, so when he comes out he avoids going to the barber and Jakes eventually does it for him, because it's about the TRUST.
“It’s not rocket science. You might not end up on any catwalks, but I can take you out of the running for shaggiest policeman.”

@tu-sonrisaaa-te-amooo asked: Could you do the 8 and 17 fluff with Joel? tht would be cute (ik u hate him lol u could do zabdi if u want)
Lmao I don't hate him Bby..he can just be a bit dramatic sometimes...that's all 🙆‍♀️
Prompts: (I did a bit of alterations in it so excuse me)
“I want to dance through an army of fireflies with you.” (Prompt 8)
“My hand was made to fit into yours. That’s all there is to it.” (Prompt 17)
So Y/N is your name
~ ~ ~ means change of scenario.
✓ ✓ ✓ means the end.
So...ahem...this went a bit more than I intended it to go...I swore I would just write drabbles but I guess old habits die hard? So this is it? I hope you like it Dia! 💕😅 (oh new nickname alert)
This song is beautiful and sorta inspired me! 💕
Tumblr media
- - -
Y/N and Joel were friends ever since they were little kids...They had met when Joel had gotten lost wandering around in a series of pet shops staring at pets (especially various dog breeds and puppies). When his senses had hit him..he understood he had gotten lost..he began to feel nervous and uneasy and let out childish sobs as he began to run around looking for his mother.
He barely paid attention to anything around him as he only focused in searching for his mother that which eventually ends up with him bumping onto someone.
"Ouch! Why can't you watch where the hell they are going?!" A voice speaks
Joel falls down as he looks at the person speaking...a little girl who held a husky in her arms on the floor angrily glaring at him
"I'm so sorry...I didn't..." He begins as he stares at the husky...
"It's fine...Just watch where you're going at least the- -" She begins
"Is that the Siberian Husky?" Joel asks interrupting her as he stands up
"I'm kind of offended that you interrupted me...But yes...yes it is.." She replies as she possessively holds her husky
"Can...Can I pet it?" He asks as he looks at the husky eagerly
"Well sure I guess..." She says as Joel begins petting the husky.
A few minutes later, the duo had already begun talking about...dogs things in general..
"Y/N! There you are!!" I was looking all over for you!" A voice speaks, tone concerned
"Oh..Mumma..I was just on my way back but then this boy bumped into me and apparently loves Zachary a bit too much.." She says as she points at Joel
And that's when our oblivious little Joel realizes that he was lost and was supposedly supposed to find his mother..not stand here fanboying over a husky.
His eyes widen as he looks around, searching for his mother a.k.a his official/ main intention...Panic strikes his system as he realizes he was obviously potentially lost..
"Are you okay Joel?" Y/N asks
"I'm LOST!" Joel replies as he looks at her letting out childish sobs
"Oh god...Mumma...Help him!" Y/N says
"Listen lil boy...we'll find your mother...do you like know her number or anything.." Y/N mother asks
"Yes..." He replies as he tells her the number letting out soft sobs
The husky jumps onto Joel's arms as it began licking his face. Joel stopped crying slowly as he began smiling a bit.
"Oh my god...He is just so adorable..." Joel says as he pets the husky
"Yeah...he seemingly likes you..strange..he's not pretty comfortable with strangers.." Y/N comments
Soon Joel's mother comes in, her eyes scanning around, her eyes instantly gleaming with happiness as she finds Joel.
"Joel!!!" She says as she runs over and hugs him, Zachary jumping out of Joel's arms onto the ground.
"Mumma!!" Joel yells as he hugs her, sobbing quietly
Y/N stepped away a bit letting them have their moment.
"Thank you for finding him! He's always roaming around..pet stores...or just everywhere in general...I'm so sorry for his careless actions...and all the inconveniences he has caused you..." Joel's mother apologizes
"Oh not at all...He wasn't a bother at all.." Y/N's mother reassures
"Joel...at least next time don't go around without telling your mum! If you want a pet come over to my place...We can play with Zachary together..." Y/N says as she smiles at him, holding her mother's hand
"Okay..I will." Joel says smiling at her as he pets Zachary one last time...
"Bye Joel! See you...well...soon?" She says as she walks off..
That was how it all began...After that, one day he had turned up at her place surprisingly...They were next door neighbours...And eventually they spent a lot of time together..which lead to their everlasting friendship which began at the age of 6..
~ ~ ~
"Joel...when am I going to see you again?" Y/N asks as she lazily sat on his bed whilst she helped him with her luggage.
"Around 9 months...I'll be back soon.." Joel says as he puts in another shirt
"Oh come on...that's technically the entire year!" Y/N comments as she rolls her eyes
"I swear I would have taken you if it wasn't for your Fashion Designing Course..If that had been completed..then you could have joined.." Joel says as he stuffs in something else
"Yeah yeah..it's important right...I'm going to miss you Jo..." She says as she looks at him
"Me too..I wish there was something I could do.." Joel says as he walks over towards her.
"Just promise that you'll facetime me before all your performances..and just text me once at least every day...send me those lame audios of yours...I don't care.." Y/N says as she holds his hand...
He was still here...not gone..why did he have to leave?
"Hey...I'll text you and call you everyday.. You're my best friend...If I wouldn't call you.. who else would I?" He asks as he holds her hand and hugs her
~ ~ ~
"Wow! That was a spectacular show right boys?" Joel asks obviously excited as he walked behind the stage...
"Yes..exhausted but overwhelming..." Richard replies as they walk into the room backstage
Zabdiel immediately falls onto the couch, Erick cools off, Chris begins to fix his hair
"God..Why hasn't Y/N even seen my message! She didn't even facetime me today or even call me! Isn't that just mean?!?" Joel comments as he slumps onto the couch
"Yes...call her mean and every other negative word you could think of Ho-eL! She brought her arse from miles away, sat on a 13 hour flight just so she could surprise her best friend and yet you call her that?" A voice speaks from behind him
"Wait...a minute..." Joel trails as he instantly turns behind and sees Y/N
"Y/N- - !!!!" His tone surprised and shocked as he leaps off the couch and hugs her, a few years falling through his cheeks in the rush of excitement.
"Curls!!" She yells as she hugs him.
They hug on forever none of them every wanting to let go...Until an intentional cough from the guys pulls them away
"Ah...err...Guys! Meet my bestie Y/N!" Joel says as he grabs her hand heading towards the boys
"We talked Curls...I talked to everyone and they all helped me hide...You guys were amazing...The performance was just fantastic!" She comments as the boys yell out a chorus of thanks
"Okay so everyone except me knew that you were here?" Joel asks
"Duh curls...I couldn't sneak into backstage without their help..." Y/N says referring to the boys.
Joel grabbed her arm and pulled her into an empty room and pulls her into a hug again
"I'm so glad to have you here...Thank you for the support.." Joel says
"Wow wow...I never knew I'd see a sweet side of you Joel..." Y/N remarks
"Shut up and just hug me..." Joel says rolling his eyes
She returns the gesture as they kept hugging, an odd source of comfort filling both their veins.
~ ~ ~
"Joel...this is beautiful..." Y/N comments as she looks around the woods.
It was a small forest sort of place filled with thick green trees and a small river which gleamed with reflections of the littered stars that laid scattered in the skies.
"I know right..." Joel says as he looks at the river and at her..
They spent a lot of time making jokes and just talking about life...he had just returned from tour a few days before and thought he ought to spend some quality time with his best....friend...
He almost sighed at his own thoughts..he had begun to have feelings for her...but he didn't want to let them interplay..he didn't want to lose her...he needed her as a friend at least in his life..his feelings didn't have any part in this...but he couldn't help but wonder everytime she smiled..was she thinking about him? Did she think of him..as something more than a friend?
"Joel..Joel...HOEL!" Y/N yells.
Joel's eyes widen in shock as he falls off the log he sat on because of how loud she yelled and how distracted he was..
"Oh god...you are so clumsy sometimes Curls! Wait..actually all the damn time!" She says as she holds out her hand, Joel gratefully accepting her extended hand as she pulls him up.
"Look at that Y/N..My hand was made to fit into yours..” Joel comments as he sits up
Y/N face floods with a tint of pink as she nervously laughs it off..but never lets go off his hand..
"Of course you dummy...We are besties so god made sure it would work that way.." She replies uneasily
"Y/N I want to tell you something.." He says interrupting her from speaking further
An awkward moment of painful silence fills the air...
"What is it Joel?" She asks nervously
"It's.. it's..." Joel begins but his anxiety kicks in.
"If you don't tell her now...you'll never tell her or know if she felt the same.. you'll probably live in regret but you have to! " His inner voice encourages as he takes a deep breath
"I...I like you..." He breathes out
"I like you too Joel! You are my best fr- -" Y/N begins
"No Y/N...I like you more than a best friend.. you make me feel warm and mushy on the inside..I don't feel anything else around anyone else...You make me feel safe, happy. You understand me...We fight..but that's only because you care..but I like you in a different manner...You make me want to the cringy -est stuffs like taking couple pictures, share smoothies together, go on dates...and make me wanna dance with you in between an army of fireflies under the moonlight and what nots.. and to think that you make these cliché activities look normal...that's weird and definitely not something I feel one fine day.. I knew I always had these feelings..But I realized them...only recently...I understand if you don't feel the same..but just so you know I'll keep loving you..on and on..." He finishes off
"Who said I never had feelings for you Joel?" She asks "Every night... I'm just waiting and wondering if you have found someone that'll make you feel like that..Because why not? There are millions out there..prettier, hotter and just beautiful girls out there waiting for you so why would you choose me over them? Yeah... nothing.."
"Y/N I don't care...for you were..are the only girl I've had my eyes on...from the start.. today and forever..." Joel says as he holds both her palms. (I'm low-key swooning 🤧)
Before she could answer, Joel extends his free hand and pulls her up.
They walk over towards a place where the moonlight reflected brightly and the clear water flowing gently, causing small ripples as if it was singing a song.
"Well...can I have a dance with you?" Joel asks as he extends his hand out in a sorta gentleman style
Y/N nods softly as she takes his hand, his hand instantly softly interlocking with hers as she rests her free hand on his shoulder, his free hand holding a space above her waist securely..
As they began to softly dance in sync, an army of fireflies had encapsulated around them causing her to smile wide.
"Look Joel...True to your 'cliché' wishes..the fireflies are here..." Y/N jokes about it as Joel's face floods with a bright pink colour.
They enjoyed the overall aura, the silence suddenly turning comfortable...as they merely enjoyed each others' presence without any words being exchanged.
"So..Y/N..." Joel begins
"Hmm?" She asks as they continue dancing
"Will..will you be my girlfriend?" He asks nervously
Y/N stops dancing as she tries to catch Joel's gaze..but the boy would look at anyone or anything but her..
Y/N stood on her toes as she holds his face with both hands as she stares at his beautiful dark brown orbs, her eyes filled with nothing but love..that too only for him.
Joel looks at her nervously and before he could speak anything, she softly presses her lips against his. He instinctively bends down a bit to reach upto her height as his hands wrap around an area a bit above her waist.
She pulls away, Joel's arms still firmly fixated above her waist as he looks at her
"Did that answer your question Pimentel?" She asks, her tone filled with sassiness
"For real Y/N?" He asks in disbelief
"Yes Joel..For real...I promise you...I'll be there for you..." Y/N says as Joel smiles
"I love you Y/N.." He says
"I love you only..Joel Pimentel.." Y/N says as Joel pulls her in for another kiss.

The Ending kinda sucked tbh...but anyways hehehe... I'll try to improve! 😅🙃

Oc asks: 40, 54, and 64 and I'm not sure which character to do it for, so I'll let you decide! ^^
Okay so I’m gonna admit that I had this typed all out, forgot to press post and then left the page….so I had stuff but well, not ANY MORE! Let’s hope I can remember it all.
Doing all three that I had listed Ava (my ducktales oc) and Tuuli and Satu (Moomin ocs because I have no self control)
40: How does your OC handle grief?
Ava- She buries herself into her hobbies. She doesn’t think about what’s bothering her. She either likes to be useful or not be in the way at all. When she gets overwhelmed, she’ll sneak off to dance.
Tuuli- She gets clingy. She’s always curled up next to someone she trusts. She’ll hold their hands, lean on them, and hug them. She’ll eventually talk about what’s bothering her, but it takes a while.
Satu- She hides from people. She doesn’t want to be found. She refuses to talk to people. If she’s being pushed or bothered, she’ll leave for a walk or something. The only person you’ll ever find her by during these times is Tuuli.
54: Does your OC think with his/her head or heart
Ava- a nice combo of both. She wants to do what her heart wants, but she’ll also sit back and check things out. Is it too dangerous? Is it bad for her? Could she get hurt or hurt someone? She probably won’t do it if she answers yes to these. Though, that’s not always the case, she’ll sometimes do dangerous things for the thrill. She doesn’t want to live a BORING life.
Tuuli- She probably thinks more with her heart than head, though not by much. She’s compassionate and is willing to chance the risk if it means helping a person. But she’s not going to go out during the winter to explore the woods and try to paint the winter scenery if its too cold.
Satu- Not entirely sure. I think it changes depending on the scenario and who she’s around. I think she relies more on instinct and idk what that would fall under.
64: What are some habits your OC has picked up
Ava- Idk if this is a habit or not, but if she’s on the stage or underneath where stage lights are (so like, under the catwalk or whatever) she looks up a lot. This will be explained in the fanfic I plan on writing that has her in it.
Plays with her necklace. She twists and flips it around. 
If there is music playing, she’s swaying in place, if she’s not dancing already
Tuuli- She will hum randomly.
She’ll hide Forget-Me-Nots on Satu’s being (hair, cloak hood, backpack if she’s leaving with it) whenever Satu leaves the house.
She carries a needle and thread on her at all times. If she needs something to do with her hands she’ll either pick up her current project or she’ll sew little designs in her dress or her apron if she’s wearing it. 
Satu- She likes to hide poems in Tuuli’s potted plants on the porch. If it looks too stormy outside though, she’ll hide the poem in the kitchen next to the herbs or next to Tuuli’s mandolin.
When she’s out on walks during the autumn. She’ll tuck leaves in her hair if she likes their color or shape or design. 
Satu will randomly start dancing when she gets a tune stuck in her head. This is often while she’s out on walks or near Tuuli and if Tuuli’s nearby she’ll try to guess the tune by the dance. Then she’ll see if she can figure out how to play it.

Surreal but nice- Part one
A/N: Okay so it's my birthday this week and to celebrate I've decided to do a 90's marathon! I was born in the 90's and I've incorporated some iconic 90's movies and tv shows into fics! 😁
Kicking off this week is 'Notting Hill' 😊it's a two parter! I hope you enjoy! ❤️
Warnings: Swearing, lil bit of angst.
Tumblr media
It was a typical Wednesday for Greg, spending the day in the unsuccessful little travel bookshop that he ran in Notting Hill. His favourite part of the world.
Nothing extraordinary happened to him.
He wasn't successful, he was divorced- his wife left him for a Harrison Ford lookalike, he was living with his mad Irish roommate Jim and he was stuck in a rut.
"Can I get you a cappuccino?" Sherlock sent him a smile as they went over the books. Another month, another loss.
"Sure but make it a half," Greg tried to make light of the situation "Its all I can afford!" His laugh fizzled out. Sherlock nodded and left. Greg pondered over a thought again, a reoccurring one.
Nothing extraordinary happened to him.
That was until the bell above the door rang and he saw someone sneak into his bookshop. "Can I help you at all?" He called out to the person he couldn't see because they were behind a bookcase.
"No thanks..." Greg felt his breath hitch at the softness of the voice that lingered for a moment in his stuffy bookshop. Although, it made the shop a little more refreshing "I'll just have a look around."
Greg noticed that you were wearing a large pair of sunglasses and a dark jacket with the same colour of trousers and a crisp white shirt with shoes to match when you peered your head from around the bookcase.
Greg couldn't shift his gaze from you or form a sentence that was more than one word.
You walked around and grabbed a book, opening it and skimming over the page "That book isn't that great, but if it's Turkey you want to read about," he called out and you looked over your shoulder, noticing he was grabbing a yellowish book "I recommend this one." He cleared his throat and glanced between you and the book "I think the man has actually been to Turkey, which always helps. There is also an amusing incident with a kebab," you felt the corners of your mouth twitch upwards "One of many amusing incidents!"
"I'll think about it..." you hummed and turned around. Greg looked around to the monitor and let out a sigh, you watched as he went to the back of the shop and confront a man trying to steal a book by stuffing it into his trousers. When Greg returned you walked up to the desk with your book "I was going to steal a book but now I've changed my mind," you joked and Greg let it a small, nervous laugh "Signed by the author I see."
Greg glanced at the book "If you can find an unsigned one it would be worth a bloody fortune!" His remark made you chuckle. A moment later the same man who attempted to get away with a book down his trousers walked up to you.
"Can I have an autograph?"
You glanced up to Greg briefly before looking down at the desk and then to the man "Sure..." you sighed out. Greg could visibly see you stiffen and noticed the nerves in your eyes when you looked at him again to take the pen he was handing you. "What's your name?"
"Phillip, Phillip Anderson." You quickly scribbled on the piece of paper and handed it over to him with a thin smile. He read over it "What does it say?"
"Well that's my signature and above it, it says: 'Dear Phillip, you belong in jail."
"Good one," he uttered "Do you-do you want my phone number?"
You had to physically restrain yourself from laughing "Tempting, but no." He left after that and you handed the book over to Greg "I'll take this one." He rang it up for you and tossed in another for free. You took the bag off him with a smile and a thanks before leaving. Greg watched you exit the shop and disappear, he couldn't comprehend what had just happened. It was simply...extraordinary.
---
After downing the cappuccino Sherlock had got him, Greg popped out to the coffee shop to pick up a bite to eat as well as an orange juice for Sherlock. He left the cafe with a smile on his face as the sun shone down on him. It was a lovely day, made even better by seeing-
"Shit!"
He had collided into someone whilst daydreaming and spilled the orange juice all over someone's top. Your top. Although some did end up over him. He tried to wipe it off you but you jumped back "Get your hands off me! God!" You whined and looked down at the bright orange patch on your shirt. Greg offered for you to clean up at his house that was just across the road. With a defeated sigh, you accepted his offer.
He lead you over to the flat and pointed upstairs, explaining where everything was. As you want to change, he attempted to clean the flat a little bit. When Greg looked up a few minutes later you had changed into a completely different set of clothes and no one could have guessed that you were soaked in orange juice not even five minutes prior. Greg, being nervous yet hospitable, offered you a multitude of drinks and snacks, including the odd combination of apricots and honey. You said no to it all. "Do you say no to everything?" He asked.
You were about to answer almost instantly before your voiced hitched, a small smile played on your face as you replied "No." You watched him lean against the fridge "Thank you for your help."
"Not a problem and if I may," you raised a brow slightly "Can I just say that I think you are...heavenly. I probably won't get the chance to tell you ever again because you'll never return to my bookshop because those ones you got today are awful!" You couldn't help but lightly laugh as you made your way towards his front door. "It was nice to meet you...surreal but nice!" You sent him a small smile before he opened the door again and you left, disappearing out a door once again. "What was I thinking?" Greg muttered to himself as he walked away from the door. Seconds later, it rang. He opened it back up and you were standing there, you had forgot your books. Greg let you back in again and fetched your books.
"Thank you," you took them from him and then faced him, staring into those big brown eyes of his. You were drawn to them and gravitated towards them and his lips. Greg was taken by surprise feeling your soft, warm lips on his. He never expected anything like this to happen to him of all people. You both slowly pulled back and were left looking at each other again, burning your eyes into one another's. But your eyes diverted to the door when it suddenly opened and Greg's roommate walked in, completely passing the two of you and acting like there wasn't a thing out of place.
"I uh..." you watched as Greg's roommate vanished around the corner "I'd appreciate if you didn't tell anyone about this."
"Oh no of course not!" Greg assured "I'll tell myself sometimes but I won't believe it!" You couldn't help but smile at his disbelief and the way his cheeks had flushed a light pink colour. You left once again, leaving Greg in a hazy cloud of different emotions.
---
Over the next few days Greg ground himself thinking about you constantly. There wasn't a single second where he didn't think about you or that kiss.
Jim, being unbelievingly scatterbrained, told Greg that you had phoned-three days ago-under a fake name. Greg made his way to the Ritz with a bunch on sunflowers but when he arrived at your hotel room, someone was behind him. "Are you sure this is the right room?" He asked the man who nodded. Seconds later the door opened and a blonde woman invited them both in. With confusion riddled over his face he followed her into the room and found a multitude of other people waiting.
"What magazine are you from?" The woman asked.
"Uh..." Greg glanced about and said the first one he spotted on a table "'Horse and Hound'."
"Right..." she wrote it down on her notepad "Well she's waiting for you, I'll take you through Mr..."
"Lestrade, Greg Lestrade."
Greg entered another room and felt the air drain from his lungs seeing you by the window with a smile on your face. "You have five minutes," your agent made Greg jump, suddenly appearing behind the bookseller. You awkwardly smiled and extended an arm to the seat beside you, your agent kept walking in and out of the room.
"These are for you but," Greg glanced around the room, it was already engulfed in flowers "But I suspect you already have enough!"
"No!" You took them from Greg "They're lovely thank you." You placed them down and let out a small sigh "I'm sorry it has to be like this. I thought the press tour would be over. I'm also sorry I had to give you a fake name, I do it all the time when I'm in hotels. People know how to hunt you down!" You forced a laugh.
Greg opened his mouth to speak when your agent came in and raised a brow at him "Uhh so do you have many horses in this film?"
"Well..." you glanced over to your agent and noticed him lightly shaking his head "Not any at all, no."
"Why is that?"
"Because the movie is set in space..." the corner of your lip twitched upwards.
Your agent left again and Greg let out a sigh of relief "I'm absolutely balls at this!" As your agent appeared and reappeared, he kept asking you horse related questions, eventually Greg's time was up.
"It was nice to meet you," you shook Greg's hand, keeping up appearances "Surreal but nice."
Greg felt his lips curve into a smile. Your agent left again and Greg squeezed in one final question before he came back "Are you free tonight?"
You sadly smiled "No...sorry." You pulled your hand back and cleared your throat, your agent came back and led Greg away where he was unexpectedly taken away to interview other cast members. He didn't have a clue was he was doing at was making a fool out of himself in the process. The blonde haired woman Greg had met before called out his name again and he uttered out a protest under his breath, he really didn't want to interview another movie star. But he didn't. Instead he was lead to your room again "I'm not busy tonight."
"Y-you're not? But I thought you had plans?" Greg's brow crinkled with confusion.
"I cancelled them."
Greg widely smiled "Oh shit! It's my sisters birthday! I totally forgot!"
"That's okay," you reassured "I don't mind going."
"You want to go?" He pointed at his chest "With me?" He then pointed in a westward direction "To my sisters birthday?"
"Yes." You nodded with a growing smile "I'll be your date."

"Uh Y/N," Greg nervously introduced you to his friends and family "This is John and Mary. Dear friends of mine."
"Hello!" Mary smiled "It's funny you are the spitting image of-"
Greg cut her off "Y/N, this is Y/N..." Greg sent Mary a knowing glare. She shook your hand with a gaping smile. Greg lead you over to John who was in the kitchen "John this is Y/N."
"Well it's nice to meet you Y/N," he went to shake your hand before freezing, instantly recognising who you were "Y/L/N!"
"Nice to meet you too," you moved your hand forward and shook his hand before he pulled away to get the door. Greg's sister entered and as soon as she did, she gasped.
"Oh holy fuck!"
"Y/N, this is my little sister, Honey. Honey, this is Y/N." Greg formally intoduved the two of you. Honey was in a starstruck haze.
"I am such a huge fan! Massive fan! You are utterly amazing and I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world!" You bashfully smiled at her comment "I genuinely believe, and I have for some time now, that we are destined to be best friends. What do you think?"
You were a little taken aback but sent her a smile "Lucky me!"
The doorbell rang again amd John answered it "Mycroft's here!" Greg introduced you to Mycroft, he was oblivious to who you were. You spoke with him while Greg chatted with John and Mary.
"So what do you do?" He asked.
"I'm an actor, films mainly..." you replied with a small smile gracing your face.
"Must be tough, I know people who barely get seven thousand a year! How much did you make on your last movie?" Mycroft sipped on his wine.
"Fifteen million."
He choked on his Chardonnay "Well that's," he coughed "Fairly good..."
John announced that dinner was ready but before you sat, you wondered where the bathroom was. Honey happily lead you through. "I can't believe the girl you mentioned was Y/N Y/L/N!" Mary squeaked.
"Y/N Y/L/N?!" Mycroft repeated back and placed a hand on his head "Ohh god. Oh god I feel so stupid."
"I can't believe it," Honey returned "I just followed Y/N into the bathroom. She had to tell me to leave! I was still chatting to her as she was pulling down her zipper!" She giggled. You returned a few moments later and enjoyed the company of Greg and his friends and family over dinner.

You and Greg walked side by side down the streets of London "Do you want to uh..." Greg spoke up, you could hear the nerves in his voice "My place is just..." he trailed off and nodded towards the end of the street.
"Too complicated..." you sadly smiled and continued walking. You stopped when you noticed a gate "What's this?" Greg explained that it was a garden that the residents in the surrounding houses shared. It was locked and Greg didn't have a key. "Lets go in!" You couldn't help but bit down on your lip to control your smile as you climbed over the bars. Greg struggled whereas you jumped over with ease.
"Now what in the world in this garden could make that ordeal worth while!" Greg jogged up to you, catching his breath.
He was caught off guard when you crashed your lips against his, sharing a passionate kiss under the moonlight.
He shook his head and his lips curved into a smile "Nice garden."
You silently walked through the park, every so often Greg would say something that made you laugh or smile. He was enamouring to you, he truely was like no one you had ever met. And you liked that.
A few days later you had dinner with him, it was ruined by a group of men sitting behind the small partition wall who were making remarks about you. At first you tried to smile and laugh their comments away but they got worse and soon Greg couldn't take any more of it and stormed up to the table. You felt your heart swell as he attempted to fight for you, to stand up for you. The men were too ignorant and rowdy so you pulled Greg back and headed to the exit "Thank you for sticking up for me, I love that you tried. Someone had to put them in their place...in fact..." you stopped and turned around, making a beeline for the table. All the men gasped and quickly uttered out apologies "My friend is a little sensitive," you shot them all a fake smile. "I'm sure it was all banter and I'm sure you guys all have dicks the size of peanuts, anyway, have a good night!"
You turned and walked away, Greg hot on your heels. "That was amazing!"
"Ohh I shouldn't have said that! I should not have said that..." you mumbled. Greg walked you to your hotel and you both stood outside for a moment "What am I doing with you...?" Your head cocked to the side a little.
"I'm afraid I don't know..." Greg shrugged a shoulder with a half smile.
"Do you want to come up?" You rashly asked. Greg didn't know what to say at first but after a few minutes of internal deliberation, he agreed. "Give me five minutes!" You walked into the hotel and made your way to your room with a smile. It fell very quickly when you saw who was waiting for you.
Greg made his way to your room five minutes later and knocked on the door, you opened it and felt your stomach sink. "Hello again," he kiss your cheek.
"You have to leave..." you whispered with tears prickling your eyes. Before Greg could open his mouth to ask what was wrong, your boyfriend appeared.
"Finally, some room service!" He bellowed and your gaze fell to the ground "I wanted to be the best boyfriend ever and order some fruit or somethin' for Y/N. Only fruit though!" He laughed and jabbed your side. He always degraded and you hated it, you hated it even more that Greg was standing in front of you. You didn't want to drag him into this mess. "And take that trash when you leave!"
You squeezed your eyes shut and let out a watery sigh "Greg, I'm sorry. I don't know what to say..."
Greg slumped his shoulders, disappointment clouding his face "I believe it's usually 'goodbye'." He couldn't even crack a sad smile.
He was heartbroken.

I have a lot to say about sunsets.
People have been seeing such phenomenon as a wondrous one. How the sun flashes multi-colors throughout the sky.... how it goes down with attention.... how it leaves longing on the faces of beings watching it depart...
No doubt, it is magical, fleeting and lonely.
It's lonely how the dark immediately spreads as the sun's last rays disappear...
Lonely like how some people go home after a shitty day.
Lonely like how a child whines after a fun day at the playground.
Lonely like how the cold invades the night.
Lonely like how the wind devastates the seas.
Lonely... like how I felt when you left.
I saw it all coming, but I still took the last chance to be with you... to watch you go.
I knew you would eventually give up.
Again.
The only strength I had was fake indifference (and a little bit of grudge)... I kept myself busy these past few weeks. I slacked, and I cannot even conceal how much of a mess I am.
I want to hate you, but at the end of the day, the little inch of the love I have that's left for you still wins.
Don't get me wrong. It's not like I think about you every second like when we first broke up. I didn't even cry this time. Congratulations, you did a good job on being a jerk. It's just, there would always be something that reminds me of what we've had.
Like when I heard the word "honey" in a drama I was watching... that stung a little. Oh, when I use the word "cupcake" to describe cutiepies, I would flash this bitter smile. Hahahahahahahaha I was just laughing when I was putting in my archives the shots of the poems I wrote for you, the video you made for me on our anniversary, even the photos of your adorable dog and the caps of our cheesy conversations hahahahahahaha please I do not want to delete those I just want to keep them away because my heart cracks when I see them lol hahahahaha. I would even go all bitter and hysterical whenever Ed Sheeran's Perfect plays somewhere lol. What a stoopeed song. Speaking of songs, I deleted the Spotify playlist I made for you. Lol, I doubt if you even played that thing. Sad.
Sometimes, I would also wonder about things I've always been wond'ring about... like, for instance, if you still think of me from time to time? Do you even remember me? Lol. Did you really love me? Hahahahahaha sorry for always being insecure about that. I can still remember how my doubts would sometimes turn into arguments.
But now I think there really are reasons why I was fond of doubting. And, congratulations again, you've proved those reasons right.
I cannot say that I don't love you anymore. Lol, it's just been a month since what was us ended, and I wasted a whole year of loving you and loving you and loving you until it was the only thing I knew. Forgetting you is not just a walk in the park... however, it's funny how I can laugh at it now. Lmao, I was so, so stoopeed to fall in love with a person I haven't even met in the flesh. How much of an idiot am I to fall in love with a person who would dump a year of hopes, promises and what-nots in just a slur of momentos.
Okay, my hatred aside, I still think of your wellbeing :) Like, have you eaten three meals today? How was work? How is life? Do you miss me? Because I miss you. I hope you're just fine. I hope you're enjoying life... because I'm trying my best to enjoy life... a life without you.
Lol.
What was even life with you? A life where you send me sweet-nothings and kiss me goodnight. A life where I thought I finally belonged to someone. A life where I saw myself being brave to love someone that much. A life with you where I was carefree and contented.
Oh, shoot. Now I'm crying. Haha. I guess I held back for a month.
But I promise, this is the last time I'm writing about you... I'll let the blot on this virtual paper stay like how I'll let this scar on my worthless heart remind me of the beautiful things we shared.
Do you still remember how I used to call you "my sun?"
I love you, my sun.
And as you rest today, I put my heart at ease.
I love you, my sun.
And as you flash your vibrant hues in exit, I let our memories blur into monochromatic sequences.
I love you, my sun.
And as you hide behind the mountains, I kiss you goodbye.
I love you, my sun.
And as I watch you depart, I wish you all the best.
I love you.
And as the sun sets today, I finally let you go.
