CRUSH AT THE PREMIER
Scarlett Johansson x reader
Words: 2356
Tumblr media
SCARLETT P.O.V.
I'm driving to a caffe down the street to meet up with my longest time best friend (y/n) and as usual I forgot my phone, why everytime I have to meet with (y/n) I get so nervous and forget even my name? Well maybe it is because I have a major crush on her since, how can I say it, well forever probably is the word I'm searching for.
Waking up from my thoughts I park the car and rush to the enter where I see (y/n) impatiently checking her phone.
(Y/N): Where the hell were you? I called you something like five times I thought you were dead!
She says hugging me, I chuckle nervously and hug her back.
SCARLETT: I may or may not have forgotten my phone at home, but anyway is nice to see you too miss finesse.
(Y/N): Oh come on Scarly don't turn into a good girl now.
I blush at this statement and try to hide it laughing and pushing her throward the door.
SCARLETT: Take that fine ass of yours inside I need for my coffee.
(Y/N): Yes ma'am!
We sit at a table and we start talking about what happened in the past month since we didnt have much time to hang up cause we have been super busy with work. I told her everything I could about what happened on the set of Avengers Endgame: funny story, some bloopers and some spoilers as well, but nothing too big since neither I know whats going on in that movie, yep Marvel is very good at keeping secrets.
(Y/N): When is the premier Scarly?
SCARLETT: Tomorrow night and actually I wanted to ask you something about that
My hands got sweaty and I started to panic. What if she says no or she finds out I'm in love with her? Scarlett Ingrid Johansson, you take a breath and ask your best friend and crush to go to the premier with you whether you want it or not! I probably get lost in my thoughts for a while since (y/n/n) is waving her hand in front of my face.
(Y/N): Hellooo? Land to Scarlett, are you here?
SCARLETT: Yeah, sorry I...I zoned out for a sec.
(Y/N): I noticed. Scarly now please answer me sincerely, are you ok?
I frowned at her question.
(Y/N): Don't look at me with that face, you can fool anyone but not me. You've been weird since you arrived today, then you want to ask me something and zone out. This is not you, whats going on?
I take a deep breath trying to gain time.
SCARLETT: Im fine (y/n/n), just a little bit stressed for the premier tomorrow. You know it'll be the first time I'll be there alone and I guess this is stressing me out
(Y/N): Awww don't worry Scarly you'll be amazing as always.- she says taking my hands in hers smiling at me- You're the strongest woman I've ever met and I'm sure that walking on a red carpet alone is not gonna break you down.
I blush at her words and lower my head shaking it a bit.
SCARLETT: The problem is not standing alone on the red carpet, the problem is the presss questions and the scandal that not having a partner for this event is gonna create.
Her smile dropped. She understands what I mean and she knows how much I got stressed when the press spread fake gossip about me.
(Y/N): Well I'm sure we can find someone inclined to accompany you or...
I raised my head at her or and saw the fear and embarrassment on her face. I dont know what happened to me at that moment, but suddenly I felt super confident and the words came out of my mind without me noticing.
SCARLETT: Or you can come with me as my date.
My eyes widened as soon as I realized what I said and I started to panic even more. I try to focus on the bright side of this thing but right now I can't care less about the fact that I practically confessed to my crush, I'm too scared of her reaction. My train of thoughts and paranoia stop rushing when I hear (y/n) laughing.
(Y/N): Your face is sooo funny! Seems like youve seen a ghost!
I try to force out a laugh but it dies in my throat before it can even get out of my mouth so I limit myself at smiling.
(Y/N): You know I wasn't thinking about me when I proposed another option right Scarly?
I nod sadly.
(Y/N): I was thinking about that Colin Jost... But if you want me to be there with you I'll cancel my date night with my couch and Netflix and come with you!
SCARLETT: Really?
My eyes lit up when she agreed to come to the premier as my date. I was so excited and happy as if a burden had been lifted from my shoulder. I jump out of my seat and hug her tight.
SCARLETT: Thank you, thank you, thank you!
(Y/N): Yeah, but don't get too excited I'll only do that in order to see the movie before anyone else.
I stop hugging her and go back to my seat putting on a childish pout and faking to be offended by her statement.
SCARLETT: For what you said you'll have to choose the dress on your own and come to pick me up tomorrow at 5pm.
(Y/N): No no no no. I was joking, girl, chill down! I obviously agreed to come cause youre my best friend and I don't want to let you go alone.- she said scratching the back of her head in facking embarasmen- Now please help me pick a dress!
I burst out laughing at her begging and she joined me soon.
SCARLETT: Ok (y/n/n) well go pick a dress now, but please learn how to plead cause you suck!
We get out of the caffe laughing and wondering about what will happen tomorrow night like two girls going nuts the day before the prom.
TIME SKIP TO THE RED CARPET
I'm walking side by side with (y/n) down the red carpet and I've never felt more powerful in my whole life. For the first time I'm standing in front of the press, journalist, photographer and I don't care about what they're saying and what they'll say tomorrow.
Down the path we stop for some photos and interviews. And I noticed (y/n) tensing and shaking when people ask her questions. Without thinking too much about it I hold her hand rubbing my thumb over the back of it trying to calm her down.
SCARLETT: If it's too much for you I can take you inside the theatre and come back out here alone.- I whisper in her ear.
(Y/N): No it's ok, I'm a little bit overwhelmed but I'll be fine. Just can you hold my hand?
SCARLETT: Sure thing hon, everything for you.
I see her blushing and that makes me smile.
We are now in the theatre and the movies have been going for a while already when I realize that the scene of Natasha's sacrifice is coming up. I shift in my seat trying to get comfortable and ease the stress. I know this scene would come, I mean I shoot it, but it's sad anyway cause after I played Natasha Romanoff for 10 years I can say that she is part of me now.
As soon as the Widow jumps down the cliff the theatre is filled with gasp and sob. Every member of the cast looked at me shocked since no one except Jeremy knew that. Robert, who was sitting at my left lean near me.
ROBERT: You hide it to us for all this time?
SCARLETT: Feige's order.
I hear a sob coming from the person at my right, so I turn around to see (y/n) crying in her seat. That view makes my heart clench, she is so beautiful and precious even with tears rolling down her cheek. I stare at her for a while before she notices and grabs my hand holding it tight in search of comfort. When our hands touch I feel my stomach flutter and my heart skip a beat, we stare at each other's eyes and without realizing we both start to lean in closer without breaking eye contact. My heart was beating so fast and my mind was wandering freely imagining how could (y/n) lips would feel against mine.
Our magic moment was interrupted by a flash coming from the screen we woke up from our state of trance and back off blushing in embarrassment.
TIME SKIP TO EVANSS PARTY
(Y/N) P.O.V.
Me and Scarly are at a party hosted by the one and only Chris Evans. I've lost Scarlett in the crowd so I make my way to go get another drink. If I have to be totally honest I lost count of how many shots I've had, but drinking helps me forget about the problem and right now I have a big problem to take off my mind.
I still can't believe that me and Scarlet had almost kissed each other early in the theatre, but most importantly I can't believe I want it to happen again! She is my best friend and I shouldn't have those thoughts about her. I shouldn't wish to kiss her, but here I am.
The night went on with Scarlett chatting with her cast members and me drinking shot after shot till I practically passed out on someone which at the moment I don't remember the name, my head hurt too much for thinking. I slurred an "I'm sorry" while trying to get back on my feet.
BRIE: Here let me help, youre too drunk to stand alone.- she said while helping me stand still.
(Y/N): I'm not - hiccup- that dwunk -hiccup.
BRIE: Yeah and I'm a member of the Queen.
I stare at her for a while.
(Y/N): Ohhh, that's why you seemed familiar!
BRIE: Ermmm ok. Are you here with someone?
I pointed to Scarlet who was talking to some girl and that view made me jealous. She is mine! The girl member of the Queen walked me to Scarlett and whispered something to her. After that my bestie excused herself from the girl she was talking to and rushed to me. We walked out the house where the party was going on in silence and got in the car where I passed out.
I wake up at Scarlett shaking me violently.
SCARLET: We are here but I need you awake I can't pick you up with this stupid heels.
I nodded and focused my attention on keeping my eyes open. Scarlet helped me get out of the car and walk to the door where she made me lean against the wall while she searched for the key. We finally got inside the house, I threw my purse on the floor and leaned on a table falling asleep.
SCARLETT: No that's not the bed hun come on, we have to take you upstairs then you can sleep I promise.
She struggles at makinkin me stit up since I'm not cooperating much, but I'm too tired to move or even think. I look at Scarlett and notice that she is standing between my legs while Im still sitting over the table. In this way I was way more taller than her so I managed to look at her and notice how embarrassed and frustrated she is right now. I lost myself in her beautiful eyes for the second time in a day and before I even noticed we were leaning in eachother again.
SCARLETT: Fuck this!
Her lips crushed on mine in a very passionate and loving kiss which I gladly responded to. Its amazing, our lips complete each other like two pieces of the same puzzle. I lost myself in those kisses and I didn't even notice that Scarlett had picked me up and she is trying to walk to the staircase without interrupting our magical kiss.
Eventually our lips came apart and as if nothing happened she took me up to a room and put me to bed pecking my lips before I passed out definitely.
TIME SKIP TO THE NEXT MORNING
I stir and roll in the bed trying to remember what happened last night. I wake up and look around noticing that this is NOT my room. I sit up quickly causing my head to hurt and I notice a glass of water with some pills near it and a post-it on the nightstand. I pick the note and read it:
"I got you some pills and water, they'll help with your hangover. There are some of my clothes on the chair put them on then come downstairs I'm doing pancakes
-Scarly❤"
I start to get dressed trying to recall at my mind what happened after the party when something hit me. ME AND SCARLETT KISSED!
I fall on the floor tripping over the bed sheet, I stand up again and start going downstairs rubbing my sore back. When I entered the kitchen I saw Scarly focused on not burning the pancake. I walked behind her, slid my hand around her waist, hugging her and kissing her cheek.
(Y/N): Morning love.
SCARLETT: Look who decided to wake up!- she said kissing my lips- How are you feeling?
(Y/N): Me good, my ass not much since I fell on the floor.
We burst laughing and sit at the table starting to eat breakfast without the need to talk about what happened last night cause both of us know that we wanted it for a long time.
Love you you all and be safe
Dasy 🥰

not a lonely birthday
teen!actress!reader x platonic!jeremy renner
brief reader x marvel cast
req by @maximeevansblog : The reader (me ) is dating jeremy renner its the readers birtday, and jeremy renner spoiling her, taking to the hair salon and to the nail salon , and the trows a party for her, and he asks her to marry him, and a couple months later the reader is asked to been on say yes to the dress and alot of fluff please (i'm so sorry i couldn't write your exact request. i added the other cast too but it's still mainly jeremy renner so i hope you enjoy this still)
summary: you thought you were gonna have to spend your birthday alone but jeremy had other plans.
word count: 3296
note: i told her i couldn't really write romance because my blog is mainly teen!reader and she said i could just turn it into an x teen!reader so i did. i mean, i can write a non teen!reader but it probably won't be anytime soon so i'm not taking requests that aren't x teen!reader as of now <33
"are you sure you'll be okay?"
"yes, mum, i'll be fine here. i've been doing fine for the past two and a half months, what's another week without you guys gonna do to me?" you told your mother on the phone, rolling your eyes at her excessive, unnecessary worrying.
"we're so sorry about this, sweetheart," you heard your dad speak and you figured he must've been listening the whole time. your mum must've had it on speaker since the beginning of the phone call.
"you shouldn't have to spend your birthday all alone. i promise we'll make it up to you, honey." your mother spoke again and you groaned. "i keep telling you that it's fine. and what do you take me for, a loner? i've got the others here, mum, i'll be fine." you told her, a smile ghosting over your lips at how concerned she is of you.
your birthday was coming in two days and having a whole movie to film meant that you weren't allowed to leave the country for just a weekend to celebrate it with your family. so, they worked around your schedule and planned a trip to visit. unfortunately, your idiot of a brother managed to get himself into a skating accident and had to be hospitalised, affecting their whole plan of coming to celebrate your 18th birthday with you. well, not on the day of your birthday, at least.
"i'll make sure sarah'll bring you out to celebrate, okay? i'm so sorry about this, y/n." you could practically hear the pout in her voice and you held back the urge to tell her off for profusely apologising, you didn't want to receive a beating when she finally arrives here.
"i'll be fine, mum," you whined. "as i said, i'll be filming on my birthday too so i'll at least be with the cast then. it's never a dull day with them. and i'll be waiting for your gift from sarah on my birthday." you teased her. you knew she had a habit of getting birthday gifts way too early. for once, she was grateful for that because she had given sarah—your manager and also a family friend— your birthday present for her to safe-keep in case anything like this happened and she couldn't give it to you on your birthday.
"i'll give you permission to whack your brother once we come." your dad tells you seriously and you laughed. "thanks, dad. i'll be sure to remember it. anyways, i have to get back on set soon. i'll talk to you guys when i can?"
"of course, honey. have fun on set!" your parents bid you goodbye and you hung up with an adoring smile on your face. you missed your family and having been able to hear your parents' voices for a mere five minutes was enough to cure it for even just a little bit. sure, you were disappointed that you weren't going to get to spend your birthday with them but spending it doing what you love—acting— with the people, aside from your family and friends from home, that you love—the cast— didn't sound so bad.
"i'm so sorry about this, darling." you heard someone say, effectively breaking your train of thoughts. you turned to the source of the voice, meeting the hazel eyes of your manager and long-time family friend, sarah. she pulls you in for a hug that you groaned into but still returned. you rolled your eyes playfully when she let go. "i'm not upset, sarah."
"i know. but you're disappointed." she says softly, fixing your costume after the hug messed it up a little. "maybe i am, but it doesn't matter. i chose this life so technically i brought all of this upon myself. i signed up to have a normal life stripped away from me." you told her honestly, internally cringing because you hadn't meant to get that deep.
"y/n," her hands rested on both of your shoulders and she looks down at you with that stern mum glare she'd give you whenever you were being a little troublemaker. she was practically your second mum, having promised your own that she'd take care of you whenever you had to travel for filming.
"i know, i know, i'm sorry. i didn't mean it in a bad way. i love my job but it sucks that i have to be far away from family, you know?" you sighed. "i understand, darling. it's hard but hey, i'll be with you the whole day, okay? we'll go out and have a nice girl's day out together, do whatever you want. that sound nice to you?" she places a gentle hand against your skin, careful not to rub the fake dirt and wound makeup on your face.
"that sounds great, sarah. i have only a half day of filming that day, right?" you ask her, knowing she remembers your schedule better than you yourself do. "yup. anyways, they need you on set 3. get out there and make me proud, darling."
-
"and....cut!" the director called out and you dramatically dropped limp against the wire harness attached to your body, the wires holding up your weight so you didn't drop down to the floor but also didn't have to remain standing on your own.
you heard sebastian laughing, him being the closest to you in the scene you had just filmed. "you tired, y/n/n?" evans chuckled as he walked towards where you and seb were standing. "yeah, i just wanna sleep right now." you told them, standing up on your own when a crew member wanted to get your harness off.
"well, at least you get to rest now. you're done for the day right?" seb asked, the three of you now walking to the snack table together. "yeah but sarah wanted to take me out so maybe not rest but i'll get to relax. that's good enough," you say, peeling off a banana and taking a bite while the two men drank some water.
"she's taking you out later today? is there a special occasion?" chris asked and you smiled at him. "nah, nothing much. she just thought i've been stressed lately." you lied. you didn't want to seem attention-seeking for telling chris and sebastian that it was your birthday so you settled on a little lie.
"she's not wrong. you have been working hard and you deserve a relaxing evening off work." seb agreed.
"oh she's walking over here right now. are you going now?" chris asked, eyes trained behind you as he watched sarah coming closer. you turned around, meeting her frown-etched face and you blinked profusely in confusion. "i thought we're going in two hours?"
"y/n, i'm so sorry. some stuff came up and i have last minute errands to run all day," she told you, offering a guilty expression when your face dropped slightly. "oh.. i– um, yeah, it's fine."
"are you sure it's fine? i promised you though," she frowned. "it's fine, i know you have a lot to handle and it's totally fine if we don't go out today. i'll just take a nap and be on netflix all day, i guess." you joked but sarah didn't laugh. "sarah, it's fine. you know i've been wanting to catch up on a list of shows. when else will i be able to do this?" you assured her, trying to mask your disappointment.
"i have to go now. i'll make it up to you, darling, i promise." she gave you a hug before running off somewhere. you felt bad for her because she probably had to be running here and there all day but it didn't change that you were disappointed. maybe you really did deserve this for choosing this life.
"hey kiddo," you felt someone ruffle your hair and you were almost going to go off on them for doing that before remembering you had just finished your last scene for the day. an arm rested over your shoulder and you looked up to see jeremy taking over sarah's previous spot.
"um excuse me? do we not exist?" chris joked when jeremy didn't greet him nor seb. jeremy rolled his eyes at them, turning back to look down at you. "you did great today, kiddo." he complimented and you smiled, thanking him.
"wow okay, i guess we really don't exist, huh? c'mon seb, let's go somewhere else where people appreciate our presence." evans sassed, glaring at you two as both men strutted away.
"good riddance," jeremy said, dropping his arm so that you two were now face to face. "happy birthday, y/n." he says, handing you a little bronze coloured box. you gasped as you took it in your hands.
"how'd you know it was my birthday?" you asked him, eyes wide in surprise. "of course i know your birthday, kiddo. after all, you are my favourite co-star." he grins, gesturing for you to open the box.
you did and your hand immediately flew to cover your mouth in shock. "jeremy! you didn't!" you gently took out the necklace from the box, examining it closely. the charm was in the shape of your favourite animal and the chain was gold. this must've costed him a fortune.
"jeremy, you didn't have to!" you exclaimed, pouting at him to prevent yourself from bursting into tears right then and there. "kiddo, i love you a lot, how could i not?"
playing clint's adopted, eldest daughter in the films, as well as a member of the avengers, you and jeremy worked together a lot. he helped you a lot with practicing your lines and emotions for specific scenes and you bonded over so many things you two had in common. even off set jeremy still acted like your father so practically everyone knew how close you two were. if sarah is considered your second mum, you'd say jeremy is your second dad.
"so i heard sarah bailed on your birthday date today," he says as he helped you put on the necklace, smiling fondly when you looked down at it happily. "thanks a lot, jeremy. you really didn't have to," you hugged him tight, the man chuckling as he hugged you back.
"and sarah didn't bail. she just has errands to run all day. can't blame her, she's a busy woman." you told him. "yeah yeah, anyways, how 'bout i take you out instead? a birthday lunch and a day out with your favourite cast mate?" he wiggles his eyebrows at you, a smirk playing on his lips.
"you don't have anymore scenes to shoot?" you ask. "i do but i have plenty of time before then." he replies. you agreed happily and he tells you to meet him outside the set in an hour so you two could change out of your costumes.
-
"you ready for the best day ever, kiddo?" jeremy asks as you entered the passenger seat. "best day ever? then shouldn't we invite the rest?" you teased, buckling your seatbelt. "hey! i'm pretty fun too!"
you chuckled at his childishness. "i'm kidding, you are fun. now let's go already, i'm starving." you complained and he started the engine, letting you play whatever songs you wanted as background to your small talk.
you had lunch first at your favourite restaurant but not before you two had a debate of whether you were allowed to because you were supposed to be on a diet during the length of the movie shooting and him ultimately going 'to hell with that diet, it's your special day' and then dragging you in. after that, he said he had a surprise for you and told you to just get in the car.
when he finally stopped somewhere, you realised it was a pretty well known hair salon in town and you tilted your head in confusion. why would he bring you here?
"you said you wanted to dye your hair, didn't you? let's do it." he says nonchalantly, unbuckling his seatbelt before you both exited the car. "are you crazy? we're still in the middle of filming!" you exclaim in disbelief. this man was crazy.
"yeah but it's not like they can't just get a wig of your current hair and use that for the rest of the filming. scar and lizzie wear wigs all the time, you can too. now let's go dye that stupid colour you want!" he cheers, tugging you along with him by your wrist, into the salon. you chuckled at his antics, letting him drag you.
the next hour or two was spent with you worrying that your parents would kill you for this, or worse, anthony or joe. you knew it would be a meltdown for them if you came back with your hair a completely different colour.
jeremy assured you that the russos, as well as your parents, would not get mad at this but you were pretty sure you'd get an earful from both pairs. you made him promise that he would talk to both parties that he was the one who convinced you to do this. but once your hair was done, all worries flew out the window as you admired your new hair.
"you look great, kiddo. this colour looks good on you." he looks at you with a fond smile, trying to resist the urge to ruffle your newly done hair but failing. you pouted at him when he did so, reaching up to fix it again. "sorry, y/n/n, couldn't resist," he states, pinching your cheek.
"alright, next stop now, let's go!" he pulls you by the wrist once again and you let him, used to him doing this already. the next time he stopped, you damn right almost had another heart attack because again, this man was crazy.
he did not just bring you to a nail place. surely he isn't about to let you get your nails done, right? the russos would have your head and his too if you were to get them done and casually get back to the studio.
"no." you said firmly, crossing your arms over your chest as you stayed seated in the passenger seat. "c'mon, y/n/n," he whined, throwing a tantrum outside the car door as he tried to get you to leave the car.
"no, jeremy, they'll literally send me back here to get it off because in case you forgot, in all my scenes, i don't have fancy nails." you reasoned, noticing that jeremy has now moved to your side of the car and the passenger seat door has now been opened, the man continuing to make a fuss closer to you now.
"no they will not, i'll make sure they don't. c'mon kiddo, it's your birthday, let's have a little fun!" he says but you were still unsure about the whole thing. "i don't know.."
"okay fine i guess i'll tell you this now. they didn't want to tell you until later today because they wanted it to be your kinda birthday present but your avenger suit has changed. it's not like the one in the last movie, it's got gloves now! and the rest of your scenes excluding the last few ones are all in your superhero suit right?" your eyes widened at this new information, a smile growing on your lips.
"wait, for real? are you sure they're not just fingerless gloves?" he smiles down at you. "yeah. i planned this day well, okay? put some trust in me, geez," he sassed, moving out of your way as you finally exited the car.
"this better not be a joke, renner, because if it is, i'll have your head." you threatened jokingly. "yeah, yeah. oh also, can you just pretend to be shocked when they tell you about your suit upgrade? because i really wasn't supposed to tell you this." he scratched the back of his head awkwardly as you walked two walked into the nail salon.
the entire time, he awkwardly sat at the side, waiting for you to be done. when you were though, he quickly got up, as if he had been restless sitting down the whole time.
"they're pretty," he says as you walked back to his car. "yeah, i really like them. haven't had my nails done in a long time." you replied, getting in the car and waiting for jeremy to get in on his side. once he did, he immediately started the engine and started driving back to the set where he had to continue shooting and where you knew sarah would be waiting for you.
it was after many different topics and finally arriving outside the set did you decide to get a little emotional. "hey, i just wanna say thanks for today. i thought i was gonna spend the day alone watching netflix all day like some loser but you made this day really enjoyable. you have no idea how much this really means to me, thank you so much jeremy. i love you." you pouted at him, trying not to cry. "aw kiddo, of course. you're an important person to me. couldn't let you be a loser on your special day," he teases, bringing you into a hug where he didn't miss his chance to ruffle your hair.
once you let go, he kept an arm around your shoulder as you both walked in. he opened the door for you both and you almost jumped in place.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
your jaw dropped at the sight in front you. every single one of your co-stars, along with some crew members were wearing party hats holding up a banner that said 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Y/N'. sarah was in the middle, holding a huge birthday cake with a smile on her face. you slowly walked towards her, hand over your mouth in shock.
sarah gave the cake over to robert before opening her arms up for you. you gave her a tight hug. "you didn't have to do all this," you say, letting go of her. "jeremy and i planned this right when your mother called beforehand and told me they couldn't come in time." she explained.
you turned to jeremy who had been standing next to you the whole time, giving him another hug which he happily accepted. "you guys didn't have to." you told them, trying not to cry at the thought that these people loved you enough to do this for you.
"but we wanted to. and the rest wanted to join in too. now before you start bawling your eyes out, let's get this party started!" he cheered.
"but before that, make a wish, kiddo." robert tells you after evans finished lighting up all the candles. you closed your eyes, making a wish and blowing them all out. everyone cheered before walking away to grab food or to talk to others. or in your cast mates' cases, fighting over who gets to give you your present first.
"you knew it was my birthday!" you exclaimed when you locked eyes with evans, who was in the middle of a brawl with both mackie and robert. he laughed out loud. "yeah! i did! your lie couldn't fool me, child!" he says dramatically, before being pushed aside by robert.
you laughed as they continued to fight right in front of you about who you love more and therefore getting to be first to give you their gift. they even managed to slip in a few compliments about your new hair, while they were literally fighting. you watched in glee, realising that even if your biological family couldn't make it for your special day, you still had a second one to make it special.

I sighed getting out my car unprepared for tonight's events. My best friend Savannah invited me to a game night with some of her co-stars from her new show on Netflix. They were nice people I visited on set a couple times when they were shooting in LA and got along pretty well with most of them. Well all except one. Jeremy. Jeremy Shada.
Flashback
I frustratedly walked towards Savannah's set beyond pissed. I was visiting my best friend on set today when I anonymously received photos from an unknown number. After 2 hours of sitting in her trailer I had just confirmed that my now ex boyfriend had been cheating on me and to make it worse it was with someone who I though was my friend. I finally reached the location she was filming at watching as she spoke to the director who was probably giving her instruction. She threw a glance at me realization hitting her what we had suspected since I got the pictures was true. I stood back as she said something to the director before making her way towards me.
"Did you talk to him?" She asked.
"Yeah. He admitted it to me. He straight up told me he cheated on me" I said on the verge of tears.
"He's such an asshole" She whispered pulling me into a hug.
“I know. I just don't know what I'm gonna do Savannah. I live with the man for fucks sake" I sobbed pulling away.
"Well for starters your moving in with me"
"I can't do that Sav, our lease isn't up for another 2 months"
"Your not staying with that jerk for 2 months y/n. Over my dead body am I gonna let my best friend stay in the same apartment with such a pig" She said getting ticked off. I sighed knowing there was no point in trying to argue right now when I was filled with too many emotions to count. I simply nodded fidgeting with my fingers.
"Go wait for me in my trailer. I almost done with this scene then I'm done for the day. After that we can go pick up some clothes then head over to mine for a breakup ritual"
"You really think that'll fix this?" I asked letting another tear slip out.
"No but it'll sure help. We'll order takeout, paint our nails, and have a high school musical marathon"
"Your just saying that because you can't wait to drool over Zac”
"Well yeah but your gonna be doing the same"
"Fair enough" I said smiling at the girl.
"See you in a bit k?"
"Okay" I smiled walking away.
I was walking back the route I came from when I received a message.
"You know we don't have to stop it here if don't want to😏" I read aloud making anger boil in me. He's such a fucking Asshole.
I groaned in frustration suddenly feeling myself collide with something hard.
“What the fuck!?" I cried holding my forehead. I looked up realizing I had just collided with an opening door.
"Oh my god are you okay?"
"Do I look okay? Are you fucking serious?"
"Look I'm sorry but you don't have to be such a dick about it" The person spoke. I finally looked up seeing a guy around my age who looked awfully familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it.
"I'm the dick? You hit me with a fucking door"
"Look I said I'm sorry" He said sticking out a hand to help me up. I was so fed up with men today. I scoffed standing up on my own.
"I don't need your help. Just watch where your going next time"
"It's not my fault. I didn't know anyone was gonna be passing by"
"So it's my fault I just got knocked to the ground by an opening door?" I shouted holding the part of my head that was now throbbing.
"W-well n-"
"You know what save it! I'm tired of men today I'm tired of everyone" I said passing by the dark haired guy bumping his shoulder in anger. That guy ended up being Jeremy Shada. Savannah's cast mate. And now my worst enemy.
“I brought lasagna” I announced to the group of people who were in the living room. Specifically Charlie, Savannah, Sacha, Owen, Jadah, Tori of course, and unfortunately enough Jeremy.
“Yes!” Sacha shouted with excitement. I giggled putting down the dish in the kitchen going over to greet everyone.
“Hey Charles!”
“How you doin?” He smirked making me laugh.
“I’m doin good baby. How you doin?” I played along. Recreated one of my favorite scenes from friends.
“This is why I love you! You get me!” He shouted pulling me in for a hug.
“Hey Owen. Sacha” I greeted the two boys with a hug.
“Y/n! We missed you the last couple weeks on set”
“Owen you were shooting in Vancouver”
“I know we just really missed you. Savannah was no fun”
“I was fun!” The girl shouted form the kitchen.
“What he means is we missed our biggest cheerleader” Tori corrected.
“I am great aren’t I?” I jokingly flipped my hair on my shoulder earning laughs from around the room.
“I beg to differ” Jeremy’s voice spoke making me roll my eyes.
“Seriously? I just got here and your gonna start?” I asked looking at him.
“Hey! Guys! It’s game night let’s chill out tonight” Charlie tried to reason shuffling the uno cards in his hand.
It wasn’t the first time he or any of the other cast tried to talk me and Jeremy down but sometimes his side comments got to me so much that I’d burst. God I hated his luscious dark hair. And his snarky little smirk. And his beautiful brown eyes. And his adorable dimples.
“Charlie’s right” I spoke calming down.
“It’s game night. I’m with my friends and nothings gonna ruin that. Even you Shada”
“It was ruined the moment you stepped in”
“Man chill out” Owen said placing a hand on Jeremys shoulder. I watched as the two small talked on the side before turning my attention back to the rest of group.
Internally groaning I took a seat in between Jadah and Savannah who had finally made it back to the living room.
“Glad to see your lasagna didn’t come out burnt” Savannah said making me let out a giggle. Referring to the first time I tried baking lasagna.
“Sav that was one time and it was an accident”
“I can think of other things that were an accident” Jeremy said my eyes going wide. Gasps filling the room.
“Dude yo chill out”
“That’s low even for you Jeremy” I said standing up and making my way down the familiar hallway. I reach a room I recognized as Toris. Locking myself in. I began to cry sitting down on her bed in the center of the room.
That was it. Those were the words that finally triggered me.
Flashback
“Your a drunk! Can’t even take care of your own daughter!” “She was a fucking accident!” “You don’t mean that daddy” I cried holding my chest to my knees. Drowning out the voices of my parents fighting. Wanting anything. Anything to happen that would get me out of this house. But nothing did.
My thoughts were cut off by a sudden knock on the door.
“Who is it?” I questioned wiping the stray tears that had escaped.
“It’s me”
“Who’s me?” I asked sniffling.
“Jeremy”
“Go away you fucking prick”
“Can we talk? Please” He pleaded confusion hitting me. Why would he want to talk to me? Why now?
I made my way toward the door slowly unlocking it.
“What do you want?” I asked moving back onto the bed.
“I wanna apologize. Savannah told me about your parents. She also said if I didn’t cool it she’d have my head” He said moving slowly to sit beside me on the bed.
“Yeah. She’s a sweet girl but she’ll have your head in seconds” I tried to joke only to have more tears fall down my face.
“Look I’m really sorry for acting like such a jerk”
“A dick” I corrected him earning a chuckle from the guy.
“A dick. I’m really sorry”
“For the sake of our friends outside. I guess I’m sorry too. Sav always talks about how much of a great guy you are but I never actually got to know you. I honestly I don’t know why I always went out my way to attack you”
“I do” He spoke. My head cocking to the side in confusion.
“I mean I know why I always acted like that”
“And why is that?”
“Maybe it was to conceal the big fat crush I had on you since the moment I laid eyes on you”
“What?” I questioned looking him in the eyes.
“Don’t make me say it again. Look I’ve acted like such an ass especially lately. But every time I see you I just remember the first time we met. How beautiful you were. But then we interacted. And now I realize how terrible I really was. Then the way you reacted didn’t help the situation. I mean it looked like you weren’t having the best day and I made it worse. And guilt has been eating away at me ever since but I could never bring myself to apologize because of my stupid pride”
“Your pride is pretty stupid. But your face makes up for it” I spoke with a nervous smile.
“Was that a compliment?” He teased.
“So what if it was? What are you gonna do about it Shada?”
“Well for starters.....I’m gonna take you on a date. A proper date. Maybe to the beach. We could have a picnic. Make a day out of it. The I’ll drive you back to yours and Savannah’s. We’ll walk hand and had up to your door. We’ll make casual small talk about how great it was. Then I’ll say we should do this again sometime and you’ll agree of course. Then I’ll lean in at the last second and....kiss you”
He said our bodies seemingly to have gotten closer within the period he had begun talking to now.
“Why wait?” I whispered finally looking straight at him to see him already looking at me.
We gazed into each other’s eyes until our lips met in the middle. The kiss was short but sweet. We finally pulled away looking down I watched as he intertwined our fingers. Smiles plastered on both of our faces
This was it. No more backhanded comments. No more glaring at each other from across the room. No more uncomfortable tension in the air.
It was me and Jeremy.

StackedNatural Day 13: 4x03
StackedNatural Masterpost: [x]
October 2, 2021
4x03: In The Beginning
Written by: Jeremy Carver
Directed by: Steve Boyum
Original air date: October 2, 2008
Plot Synopsis:
Castiel sends Dean back in time to 1973 where he encounters younger versions of his parents and for the first time meets his grandfather Samuel Campbell who holds a secret that sheds a light on the Winchester Family's connection to the hunter community.
Features:
Sam’s dirty little secret, time travel in the other direction this time, young hot John Winchester, young hot Mary Campbell, Mary as the original hunter, world’s weirdest family dinner, demon deals as generational trauma, the inevitability of fate, even more intense destiel heart eyes than yesterday’s episode.
My Thoughts:
I had forgotten how much this episode kicks ass until rewatching it but I did almost cry so there’s that. There is literally only one single negative thing in the entire episode and it’s that it grosses me out that Dean calls Mary a babe. You can tell a straight dude wrote the episode just from that.
I like to imagine that the screaming Dean is remembering in his nightmare at the top of the episode is him remembering Cas and the angels’ assault on hell. I have no evidence for this but it makes me happy so here we are.
Y’all, Mary has a Men of Letters symbol on her anti-possession bracelet. I gasped out loud when I saw it. Proof:
Tumblr media
That screencap is from 10:40 of this episode.
I love so much that they made Mary the original hunter. I like that she gets to become more and more complicated after her death until finally they bring her back just so they can complicate her even further. The scene where Mary talks to Dean about wanting to get out and how the worst thing she can imagine being raising her kids to be hunters is the scene where I almost burst into tears. And yeah, I’ve had a long day, but still. It reminded me so much of What is and What Never Should Be (2x20). They’re just two scared kids who want to have a family and stability and safety, and they were both killed because of it. I’m about to cry again while I write this, someone help me.
I love that Cas always shows up when Dean is at his most vulnerable. Unbelievable that Stacked makes it so that we watch “In The Beginning” immediately after “The End”, and we have two of the most iconic and most similar early destiel moments in them, both at the end of an episode where an angel sent Dean time traveling. Insanity.
Notable/Kickass Lines:
“You have to stop it.”
“You can trust me. I mean, come on, we're all hunters, right? I mean, we're – we're practically family.”
“John Winchester mixing it up with spirits, can you imagine?”
“I wanna get out. This job, this life, I hate it. I want a family, I wanna be safe. You know the worst thing I can think of? The very worst thing? Is for my children to be raised into this like I was. No, I won't let it happen.”
“On November 2nd, 1983, don't get out of bed. No matter what you hear, or what you see. Promise me you won't get out of bed.”
“Look, I have a chance to save my family’s lives. My family. But I need this gun to do it. So if you want to stop me? Kill me.”
“You know what I'm gonna do to your sibling? I'm gonna stand over their crib and I'm gonna bleed into their mouth. Demon blood is better than Ovaltine, vitamins, minerals – it makes you big and strong.”
“You look into my eyes, you son of a bitch, ‘cause I'm the one that kills you.”
“You brother is headed down a dangerous road, Dean, and we're not sure where it leads. So stop it. Or we will.”
Laura’s (completely subjective) Episode Rating: 10
IMdB rating: 9.3
In Conclusion: I always knew that seasons 4 and 5 were awesome seasons but I forgot how they both started with so many great episodes one after the other. Can’t believe we got to watch The End and In the Beginning one after another. Outstanding.

Baker’s Dream, Part 2
Pairing: Sam x Reader
Date night at your place went perfectly, with you cooking dinner for Sam. Afterwards, you shared a piece of tiramisu, taking turns feeding each other. You even packed up some leftovers on the lasagna and the dessert as a gift to his mother.
As the weeks went by, you and Sam grew closer, often just spending time at each other's homes. It didn't matter whether you went out in town, or had pizza and a movie at your house or his penthouse. As long as you were together, that was the most important part.
Everyone at work could see how happy the two of you were and they silently cheered you on. Sam's colleagues saw how much happier Sam was now that he was with you, especially after what he went through with Amelia. Your bakery crew kind of teased you about how cute you and Sam were, but they were all secretly rooting for you.
One night, you and Sam were snuggled up on his couch watching a movie. Your head rested on Sam's shoulder, and your left hand was flat against his chest. His free hand was absently drifting through your hair as you tried to pay attention to the movie.
"Hey, I almost forgot to ask you. Mom and Dad are throwing a small dinner party this Friday, and they wanted to invite you. Not too many people, just Mom, Dad, Dean and his girlfriend. Oh, and Jeremy Robinson, our CFO. He's an old friend of Dad's from the Marine Corps and helped Dad get the company to where it is today," Sam finished.
"This Friday? I think I can fit that into my schedule," you grinned. "Is it formal, or what should I wear?" you asked.
"Well, if it were up to me, you would wear...." Sam trailed off and waggled his eyebrows at you.
"Yeah, I know what you'd rather I wear, or should I say not wear," you retorted, playfully tapping his chest.
Sam chuckled at your comment. "Baby, I'm sure whatever lovely outfit you put together will be perfect. I'll pick you up and we can go over to Mom and Dad's together. Unless you'd rather leave from here," he remarked as he nuzzled your neck.
"Mmm, that is a very tempting offer, Mr. Winchester," you said breathily. Sam's stubbled face was causing small fires to ignite throughout your body. "I think it's a decision I should definitely sleep on," you answered, rising from the couch. You held out your hand and started walking towards Sam's bedroom. "It's this way, right?" you gestured with your head.
Sam nodded slowly, his mind running a mile a minute to make sure he understood you properly. "Here, let me show you," he replied as he stood up from his place on the couch. He paused in front of you, taking your face between both of his hands and stroking your cheek with his thumb. "Are you sure, baby?" he said softly.
You nodded. "I'm sure, Sam," you answered. Sam pulled your face towards him so your mouths crashed together. His hands went from cradling your face to rubbing your back and winding his fingers through your hair.
"So beautiful," he whispered. He led you by the hand to his bedroom, where he turned on the light on his nightstand.
Sam stood before you, gazing into your eyes. His hand brushed away a stray lock of hair, which he tucked behind your ear. "How did I ever get so fortunate to have someone like you in my life? Going into that hotel bar was one of the smartest things I've ever done, because it led me to you. I love you so much," he finished.
"I will always remember that night we met. There I was, drowning my sorrows, and you threw me a lifeline. You showed me that I deserve better than my ex, and you're it, Sam. At least for me, anyway. I love you so much," you remarked.
Your mouths slammed back together with a hunger you each could satisfy only for the other. Clothes were peeled off and you soon found yourselves under the blankets together. You and Sam took turns learning about each other, with your tender touches and hot kisses. He took the time to show you how much he loved you, and allowed you the opportunity to return the favor. As the two of you moved together, you built layers of passion, each one higher than the last, until you both found your release.
When your heart rates had returned to normal, you turned to face Sam and rested your head on his shoulder. His arm snaked around you to keep you close to his chest and he kissed your sweaty forehead. "Goodnight, Sam," you mumbled before your eyes drifted shut. "Goodnight, my love," Sam whispered into your hair.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hand in hand, you and Sam marched up the porch steps to his parents' house. Before ringing the doorbell, you turned to face each other. "You have nothing to be nervous about, baby. They're going to love you. Mom already does, and Dad's bark is worse than his bite, I promise," he smiled. Sam brought his hand up to brush your cheek, then slid it behind your head. He tipped his head forward to capture your lips with his in a slow, sweet kiss.
The door opened, which broke your kiss with Sam. "Having a little appetizer, eh Sammy?" a voice from the doorway said.
Sam rolled his eyes. "Shut up, Dean," he muttered. Sam placed his hand on the small of your back and ushered you into the house, glaring at his brother as introductions were made. You giggled at the siblings' interaction, which seemed to relax Sam a bit.
He continued guiding you towards the kitchen. At about halfway, Mary rushed towards you with outstretched arms to engulf you in her embrace. She released you and turned to a tall man with salt-and-pepper colored hair that you knew had to be John Winchester. More introductions were made, with handshakes and hugs also exchanged.
Mary announced that dinner would be ready in about 20 minutes, with just a few things to finish up. You excused yourself from Sam's hold, assuring him that everything was fine. You followed Mary into the kitchen to see if you could help. She protested, however, saying that you were a guest. She relented with a laugh when you told her that your mother would never forgive you for not helping, guest or otherwise.
While you assisted Mary in tying up loose ends for the meal, she asked how things were going with you and Sam. Your cheeks grew warm as you stammered to answer her question. The words didn't matter, though, because she could tell how much in love you were with each other.
Mary handed you a basket of bread to take out to the table while she grabbed one of the other dishes. You looked up to see Jeremy Robinson, CFO of Winchester Enterprises and his daughter, Amelia, walking through the door. Sam did not see Amelia as she walked in, since she was hidden behind her   father.
As soon as she saw Sam, she grabbed hold of his arm and pulled him into a hug with a forceful kiss on his lips. You turned your eyes from the scene in the living room and stumbled back to the kitchen to help Mary. She saw the tears shimmering in your eyes and wondered what had happened.
Before she could ask you, Sam burst through the kitchen door and took you aside, entwining his hand with yours. "Baby, I know you saw that, but you have to believe that I had no idea that she would be here tonight," he pleaded. "What happened in there meant nothing to me. You are the one that I love, the one who holds my heart," he vowed.
"I know Sam, I believe you and more importantly, I trust that you're telling me the truth. It was a little shocking to say the least, to see some other woman kissing my man," you grumbled.
Sam dipped his head down and you rose up on tiptoes to kiss him. From the doorway, you heard Amelia demand, "What's going on in here? Who is this, Sam and why are you kissing her??"
He looked her square in the face, a small smirk gracing his lips. "This is my girlfriend, I'm kissing her because I love her," he answered. "Shall we head to the table for dinner, my love?" he asked, gazing into your eyes.
"Absolutely, Sam," your hand reached for his again and intertwined your fingers. As you sat down at the table next to Sam, Mary caught your eye and winked at you in support. You gave her a small smile in return.
Dinner conversation flowed easily, with the men mostly talking about the business of Winchester Enterprises. Dean's girlfriend and Mary asked you about the bakery and offered suggestions for future offerings. Amelia mostly glared at you from across the table, clearly under the impression that Sam should be with her, not you.
You mentioned that you brought over an apple and a cherry pie for dessert, which piqued Dean's interest. He knew of your bakery by reputation, and didn't hesitate to pay his compliments. You had catered the baked goods for a wedding he went to for one of the other executives. On occasion, Baked and Brewed had also provided the muffin trays for many a Winchester Enterprises board meeting.
"I'm tellin' ya, Sammy. You gotta marry that girl, keep all that baked goodness in the family," Dean declared.
Sam gazed lovingly at you and squeezed your hand under the table. "We're not quite there yet, Dean, but I don't intend to let her get away," Sam replied softly. He leaned over and gave you a lingering kiss on your temple. "I love you," he murmured against your skin.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next two weeks at the bakery were pretty hectic, with people  pre-ordering their pies for Thanksgiving. You were back to working 12-hour days, but Sam had given you a key to his penthouse apartment. After your long day at work, you couldn't wait to soak your aching bones in Sam's Jacuzzi tub.
On those busy days, Sam made sure to take good care of you. He usually had dinner ready or takeout on the way by the time you got to his place. As soon as you walked in the door, Sam was ready with open arms to greet you with a hug and a welcome-home kiss. Evenings were typically spent cuddling on the couch watching movies or talking till all hours of the night.
At least twice a week, Sam made sure to stop in to the bakery to see you so you could have lunch together. Mary and her friends stopped in once a week for their "Silver Foxy Ladies" meetings. For these occasions, you provided a pastry tray, which always led to one or  more ladies getting something to take home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Six months later
The front door opened to reveal Mary Winchester's beaming face, holding  open the screen door as she ushered you and Sam indoors. You caught a  fantastic aroma from the kitchen and nearly started drooling.
"What is that heavenly smell, Mary?" you asked.
"Oven-roasted  chicken, garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli cheese casserole. Speaking of which, I should check how much longer before dinner," she responded with a wink.
You reached up on tiptoes to give Sam a kiss before heading to the kitchen to help Mary. She was getting used to having you in there to help and keep her company. She truly enjoyed spending time with you and was beyond happy that you and Sam had found each other.
Back  in the living room, Sam, Dean and John were crowded together, speaking  in hushed tones. You and Mary brought in the last of the food dishes, then called the men to the table. Sam seemed to be hanging back for some reason, so you went over to where he was standing.
"Sam, is  everything okay?" you asked, worried. You took his hands in yours. "Whatever it is, you know you can talk to me. I'm right here for you,"  you assured him.
"I know, baby, and I love you so much for always being there for me. There is something that I hope you can help me with. You see, Mom found this, and thought that I might know someone who would like to wear it," he started. He pulled a small black velvet box from his pocket and dropped to one knee.
Your hands flew to your mouth as you realized what was happening. Sam opened the box to reveal a simple yet elegant engagement ring. "It's been in my family for  generations. It was my grandmother's and she was married to my grandfather for over 50 years. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Sam asked.
All you could do is nod your head vigorously, as  the power of speech temporarily eluded you. Sam slipped the ring on your left hand ring finger for a perfect fit. "Yes, Sam," you whispered. "I would love to marry you!"
From the dining room doorway, cheers went up and everyone was hugging and offering their congratulations. After dinner, you and Sam sat on the front porch swing, snuggled under a blanket in the cool night air.
"It really doesn't get much better than this, does it?" you asked. "Quiet night, under the stars with the man I love," you said.
"Baby,  this is only the beginning. Meeting you was one of the best things to ever happen to me. I finally found my missing puzzle piece. I love you so much," Sam remarked, nuzzling your neck.
"And you came along before I even knew how much I needed someone like you in my life. You're  my missing puzzle piece as well. I love you, Sam," you replied.

Right girl, wrong time
Tumblr media
Summary: On cloud number nine you believe that you finally can find happiness with the man you love only to get kicked out of paradise once again…by his girlfriend.
Pairing: Dean x Reader, AU Lisa Braeden, Sam Winchester, Bobby Singer, OMC Jen
Warnings: angst, break-up, heartbreak, arguments, mentions of cheating, violence, lies
Tumblr media
Entering the large building you curse your fate. Why does your boyfriend have to work? Now you must bear the behavior of your boss alone…again.
Hating that you must attend the party you slowly walk toward your colleagues.
“Hey! Where’s your boyfriend?” Jen asks.
“Had to work. I didn’t want to come but…well, Lisa would get mad if I refused… so here I am.”
“She’s in a good mood. Her man is by her side tonight. Maybe she got fucked really good.” Jen whispers and you giggle remembering the steamy session under your shower with your boyfriend not long ago. Sighing you wish he could be here to distract you from your boss.
Waving at you she grins, and you take a deep breath. “Here we go.” You mutter walking toward Lisa.
“Hello. Congratulations, Lisa.” You say handling her your gift.
“Great you came. Thanks for the gift. Where’s your mysterious boyfriend, Y/N?”
“He…” Before you can answer her you see your boyfriend walking toward you and Lisa. You want to smile, to jump into his arms but only until he kisses Lisa’s cheek. When his eyes land on you his face turns pale.
“Oh, this is my boyfriend, Y/N.” Lisa giggles and you want to cry.
“Dean, Dean Winchester.” You boyfriend says acting like he doesn’t know you.
“Y/N, Y/L/N.” You whisper sadly.
“So, where’s the man who was able to heal your heart? At least according to Jen.”
“Not here. He’s…history.” You say bitterly looking at Dean.
“Why? Did he cheat on you too? Or did you make him break up with you?” Lisa snickers.
“No. This time I broke up with him.”
“Why? I mean you’re not the kind of girl getting too many chances.” Lisa says but you barely hear her talking low about you. All you see are Dean’s sad eyes and the pleading in the green orbs you fell in love four months ago.
“He forgot to tell me that in fact he already has a girlfriend. I was just a quick fuck I guess. I’m not a homewrecker. I hate liars and I hate someone who thinks he can fuck with my feelings.” You say.
“Oh…that’s. I’m sorry.” Lisa says and for the first time, you see honesty in her eyes.
“That’s not your fault. It’s his…and mine. I thought after all that happened with Jeremy I deserve to be loved. Deserve someone who wants only me. I guess that was too much to ask for. Would you be mad when I leave now? I just wanted to congratulate you.”
“Y/N. Go home. This isn’t a problem. Take some days off if you need.”
“Thank you, Lisa.” You say leaving the man you love behind.
When you storm out of the building Dean runs after you. Calling your name repeatedly he desperately tries to make you stop.
“Y/N! Wait. Please, Baby. Wait. It’s not what it looked like.”
Turning around with tears in your eyes you slap his cheek.
“Not what it looked like? It looked like you lied to me for over four months. It looked like you are my boss’s boyfriend. You said you have to work instead I find you all cozy with the woman who hates me.”
“Please. Let me explain.” When Dean tries to touch your arm, you slap his hand away.
“Don’t touch me. I hate you! You knew about what I’ve been through and still, you did this to me. You are much worse than Jeremy. At least he had the guts to break up with me. You just fucked two women…I hate you.”
“I didn’t fuck her anymore. Lisa and I…we are done for over five months. I just came here as it’s her birthday. Please. I love you.”
“No. You don’t love me. You would’ve told me the truth if you weren’t with her any longer. You could’ve told me you attend the birthday party of your ex, but you preferred to lie. Liar! Cheater. I hate you. I hate myself for believing you would be different.”
Trying to touch you once again Dean earns himself a hard punch into his face. Wondering about your strength and how easy you could punch him he rubs his jaw.
“Stay away from me or I’ll kill you.”
Tumblr media
Packing your last bag, you sigh. You tried so hard. You really tried to stay out of this life.
After Jeremy decided to love someone else you wanted to go back to business but then you met Dean and you thought this is your chance, but life loves to drag you down. So you got no other choice than to hunt again…
Tumblr media
With tears in his eyes, Dean looks around your empty apartment. According to your landlord, you left last night.
He wanted to give you space to talk to you in the morning. Now you are gone without a trace.
Tumblr media
“I don’t think so, Singer!” You tease.
“I bet I can kill more vamps than you in no time, Kiddo.”
Scoffing you shake your head. “We are hunting together for half a year now. You know I can handle hunting on my own again.”
“I know that, Y/N. But you were out of business. Will, you ever tell me what happened?”
“Jeremy found someone better two years ago.”
“But you started hunting half a year ago. So, what happened?”
“I met someone…I was never so in love before. I imagined a life, children and then…”
“Tell me Kiddo.”
“You remember my boss? The bitch which was always talking low about me? She gave a party to her birthday he told me he can’t accompany as he must work. When I came to the party he was there…with my boss. He was her boyfriend Bobby.”
“Balls! I will rip him apart.”
“He told me that there’s nothing between them any longer, but he lied. Kissed her cheek. Acted in front of her like he didn’t know me. I felt like someone ripped my heart out. I tried to stay out of this life but obviously, fate had something else planned for me.”
“Goddamn idjit.” Bobby yells now angrily clenching his jaw.
“I just gave up then. I tried to live a new life, but I failed. Let’s forget about him. I bet he’s happy with her…with…” Sighing you wipe away some tears.
“Okay. Let’s change the subject then. I got two hunters on their way. Brothers. They need help with a case. The latest victims. Their hearts were squeezed, and the blood got chug.”
“Sound like a Lamia. But here? I mean I never hear about one outside of Greece.”
“See, that’s the reason I like you so much. You are as smart as deadly.” Bobby chuckles.
“Would be interesting to kill one of those bastards. Count me in. I’m going to shower and then I’ll check my weapons. Those guys need a blessed silver knife like mine.”
“I got one. Sam can have it.”
“Okay. We will need Rosemary too and salt. A mixture thrown at it plus a nice fire will end it too. I got salt and rosemary, but we should make sure the other hunters have some of the mixtures too.”
“I’ll prepare something for the boys, and you can have the shower.”
“Great. Order some pizza or stuff. I’m starving.”
“Sure, Kiddo.” Bobby chuckles smiling. But his smile fades at the thought that you got hurt so bad after all you’ve been through since childhood.
“Bobby?”
“Yeah?”
“Thanks for being my safe haven once again. I know you are used to having your house on your own.”
“Y/N, I prefer having you around.”
Tumblr media
“The hunter knows about Lamia?” Sam asks.
“She’s the best in research, even better than me. Go easy on her. She was out of business for a while. Then an asshole broke her heart and here she is now.”
“Shit. I’m sorry.” Dean whispers remembering your sad face. He still thinks about you everyday. The tries to find you were fruitless.
“Well, she tried to stay out of business for her former boyfriend. He cheated on her. But that’s not the guy breaking her. She told me that the other guy gave her hope and that she never loved someone like that before.”
“Is she a good hunter?” Sam asks.
“One of the best. I hunted with her before and for the last six months.”
“Six months?” Dean asks.
“Yeah. The day after the guy broke her heart she came here. Just now she told me what happened.”
“Six months…”
“Hey, Bobby is the hunter already…” Looking at Dean with wide eyes you feel like you are frozen to the spot. Not able to move a muscle throat dry you hold back the tears.
“Kiddo?” When Bobby sees the pain on your face her knows the man breaking your heart stands right next to him. Smashing his fist into Dean’s face Bobby yells and curses.
“Bobby?” Sam asks shocked.
“He broke her heart! Pushed her back into this life! How dare you coming here!” The older hunter yells.
“I didn’t know that.” Dean gasps not taking his eyes off you.
“Of course not. You only cared about getting your dick wet. Who cares about the people you hurt on your way to your next orgasm.” You mutter.
“Y/N, please. It’s not like that. Lisa and I were over. I swear. She invited me to that party. I left her a month ago before I met you…I wanted to start a new life with you. Please. I was trying to find you for six months.”
“I don’t think I can help them with the hunt. I will leave until this piece of shit left your house, Bobby. I got enough of liars and cheater. I’m so done with all this shit. I hope the Lamia gets you and rips your unfaithful heart out.” You spat storming out of Bobby’s house.
Tears finally bursting free you need to take deep breaths to calm down.
“Y/N. Please wait. I never wanted to hurt you. I lied about the party but everything else was the truth. You can ask Lisa. We can call her.”
“She introduced you as her boyfriend. I don’t think I need to talk to her ever again. Leave me alone Winchester. Nothing you say will change my mind. I hate you and will do so for the rest of my life. I was stupid enough to believe your lies. Go and fuck yourself, Dean!”
“Can we not talk this out? I’m begging you…Y/N. Please.”
“The answer is no Winchester.”
Entering your car, you start the engine to drive away but Dean stand in front of your car not moving a muscle he won’t let you drive away.
Tumblr media
“Dean. You should step aside, or she will run you over.” Sam warns watching the scene.
“I can’t let her go, Sammy. She’s the one that got away. I just can’t.”
“Dean…you lied. Betrayed her. Do you really think she will forgive you this?”
“I meet her at the wrong time but she’s the right girl. I was in the middle of a break-up and then I saw Y/N. I just knew I want her…need her. Lisa and I didn’t work. I only want Y/N. Help me, Sammy. Please.”
“How shall I help you? Handcuff her and drag her into the house?”
“I can’t let her go again.”
Angrily clenching your jaw, you jump out of the car to smash your fist into Dean’s face. Catching your fist in time he looks down at you with pleading emerald eyes.
“No. Let go of me!”
“Please. I know I messed up. I should’ve told you about Lisa the break-up and all. But I just ended a relationship. I was afraid you would never go out with me knowing I left another woman not a month before I met you.”
“But lying to me was better? Breaking my heart was better? You kissed her cheek!”
“I know. I tried to be nice and ended up hurting you. Please believe me that I do love you.”
“No. You never loved me…and for me…you do not exist any longer…”

Dependant
No one knew how he managed it, but Jeremy had performed a miracle. He had turned Trevor, flinches when you move too quickly, Trevor, who stitch up his own wounds so no one touches him; into the Trevor that needs touch to calm down, to bring himself out of his head and ground himself back to reality.
Before Jeremy, any time Trevor got hurt they never knew. He was able to downplay every black eye, bruised knuckle and gashed cheek. At his worst, he had broken three ribs during an awry mission and disappeared for a week straight. He claimed he had personal business to take care of, from what the crew knew about his past they knew not to push him on it. For that week he was in his own safe house he’d had since before the crew, he was stuck in bed and barely able to move and every breath hurt. But in his mind that was better than the Fakes trying to take care of him.
Nowadays he rarely hesitates too long to mention he’s bleeding, or he needs stitches, or even that he hit his head and needs a simple ice pack. And each time Trevor was in pain, it was Jeremy rushing over to check his injuries; making sure they weren’t worse than Trevor was letting on and patching him up.
The Fakes knew that it was only Jeremy who could help when Trevor was hurt, the two had an irreplaceable bond they could only dream of replicating. This was proven once when Jack had reached to wrap Trevor’s split knuckle; only to have Trevor flinch so hard back there was a dent in the wall from his head being thrown backwards.
Jack immediately stepped back and waited for Jeremy to get back before trying to help again.
Major injuries were rare, most battle wounds were scraps. It put Trevor’s progress in a better light.  
One heist just had to go horribly wrong.
A bullet to his thigh and a bullet to his shoulder sent Trevor down. Geoff was able to drag him to their getaway car, where Jack had already met them. He sent them back to the penthouse; and above Trevor’s inchorent objections, told him he wasn’t going to bleed out in the middle of a gunfight with the cops, and especially not in his favourite car. Jack had them both back to the penthouse, lost a stray cop car and hauled Trevor inside the apartment.
Gavin had stayed back at the penthouse, they needed their hacker somewhere with no interferences to do his job. Jack had called ahead to warn him about the incoming Trevor.
A wooden table had been cleared and the Fake’s mediocre medical supplies were set up next to it when Jack had hauled Trevor inside, the man still protesting. After a brief examination of one of the wounds, Jack realized there was still a bullet lodged in Trevor’s left thigh.
Gavin grimaced as he held Trevor down, while also applying pressure to the second gunshot which had fortunately gone straight through. Jack quickly cleaned the wound and knife, before using the knife to dig the bullet out.
Gavin whispered his apologises to Trevor as he pushed his shoulders down.
Trevor’s screams were muffled as Gavin rushed to place a rag into his mouth, pushing harder onto his shoulders.
Jack cursed under her breath, and pulled the knife out of his leg.
“I can’t find it. This is normally Ryan’s job,” she said.
As if on queue Ryan, Geoff, and a panting Michael close behind trudged into the apartment.
Ryan understood the scene in front of him instantly, he hurried over and took the knife from Jack’s hand. No one questioned the way Ryan acted like he could do this blindfolded but just took their own roles.
Michael and Jack took to helping Gavin hold Trevor down, he had started squirming and pulling away at the onset of people. Although Trevor was scrawny he could put up a fight, with the rush of adrenaline pumping through his body and his survival instincts flipped to flight, the three could barely keep him down.
“Keep still,” Ryan hissed, knowing if he kept moving the chances of Ryan cutting an artery were high.
Trevor knew what needed to be done, having done it to himself and other countless times; and he knew Ryan would make it as painless as possible. He just need to lay down.
But he couldn’t.
His body was desperate to escape and it wasn’t listening to reasoning.
Maybe he could get the bullet out by himself, he was fine. He didn’t need all these people touching him. They didn't have to be doing this. He was fine. If they would just let go.
A quiet whine was muffled from the rag still stuck in his mouth.
Then something snapped
Whether it was panic, or blood loss but every tense muscle locked up; a frozen terror, lack of energy or a hysterical acceptance like trance. Most likely all of the above. Whatever it was trapped him inside his mind. Trevor couldn’t even tremble as his body froze.
Ryan couldn’t care, he saw his chance and had gotten the bullet out in seconds. He stepped back to let Jack deal with the blood. Wishing that Jack’s gentle touch would calm Trevor.
He stood next to Geoff, who had stayed still through the whole thing. Ryan noticed his knuckles had turned white as he gripped tightly onto his phone.
“Jeremy had to lose the cops. They blew out a tire and he had to fight them off. He’s fine, he’s on his way now,” Geoff explained, never taking his eyes off Trevor.
Trevor had given up fighting, even as every part of him was screaming to run as Jack and Gavin stitched him up. Michael stood to the side, unsure if he would have to hold Trevor down again. But he just laid there. His usually bright  eyes were empty and glued to the ceiling above him.
They should be grateful he had stopped writhing around, but somehow this was more heartbreaking.
Trevor was always so lively, laughing and chatting away. And he was so brilliant, probably the smartest out of all of them. He got them out of more messes than they could remember, he could keep the peace when their hot tempers got in the way.
But seeing him so empty and stiff was agonizing.
Even after he was patched up he didn’t move. If it wasn’t for his chest moving up and down they would have assumed he was dead.
He stayed there for another thirty minutes.
Jeremy arrived with a bang. He almost broke the door down when he burst into the penthouse, unkempt with wide and wild eyes. They connected with the zombie version of Trevor laying lifeless and was at his side in seconds.
Jeremy used his softest voice to whisper a small, “Trevor?” A gentle hand was tenderly placed on Trevor’s hand, ready to pull back at the slightest flinch.
The rest of the crew pretended not to watch as Trevor slowly rolled his head, his and Jeremy’s eyes locked before a tear trickled down Trevor’s cheek.
“I’m sorry,” Jeremy muttered.
Trevor sat up at few minutes later, refused any painkillers and rushed to lock himself in his room.
The crew could only stand around and gape at each other. Jeremy stayed at the table, staring at the blood staining the wood, one hand resting in the dried blood.
Nobody saw Trevor for the next few days, if they heard his door creak open in the early hours of the morning they made sure to stay in their own rooms until his door closed again.
Jeremy’s room was right next to Trevor’s, so when Trevor woke up screaming one night, Jeremy was knocking down his door.
Trevor had curled into the corner of his bed, shaking so hard even Jeremy could see it in the darkness.
Jeremy was at his side in an instant, one arm around his shoulder and trying to calm him down the best he could. It was difficult though, trying to speak over Trevor’s desperate crying.
“No, stop! Help! Someone please help me! God, please stop.”
“Trevor, it’s okay. Hey, hey, look at me, look at me. I’m not going to hurt you, Trev. It’s okay, you’re safe. Please, Trevor, listen to me.” Jeremy was gripping both his shoulders now, shaking them when Trevor tried turning away.
Eventually Trevor stopped screaming. He looked puzzled at Jeremy, but finally his blurry eyes cleared as he was brought back to reality and recognised the face before him.
“Jeremy?” Trevor whispered, tears beginning to roll down his flushed cheeks.
“I’m here,” he confirmed. “I’m here.”
Trevor collapsed into Jeremy’s chest, his lanky arms wrapping the whole of Jeremy’s body and his head buried into Jeremy’s shoulder.
Jeremy hugged him back, rubbing gentle circles into Trevor’s back. “It’s okay, I’m here. No one’s ever going to hurt you, I promise.”

The Visions Part Two, The Vampire Diaries
Authors note: This will be the second and final part on the visions and it will be TVD this time, although again it will only be main events, leading up to the sacrifice, not all the way as that would probably take me at least three really long chapters at best. But I have covered the beginning changes up to the return of Katherine as I have changed it to be now. Reviews are welcomed and encouraged, I would love to improve where I can, this is my first fanfiction so any advice that may help I'm all ears and I'd love to know what you guys think, anyway any questions feel free to ask. I do not own TVD or SPN though I would love to borrow Damon Salvatore and Dean Winchester ;) this one is very long sorry :) anyway Enjoy!
The Visions Part Two, The Vampire Diaries
Fading to black and slowly the scene brightens and focuses in on... A young Damon and Stefan at their mothers funeral, where Damon is comforting a crying Stefan, holding him close to his own chest as he sobs, at the loss of their mother weighing heavier on their hearts than they were allowed to show.
Damon was trying to comfort his little brother, the best way he possibly could without drawing to much attention to them, partly for fear of what their father would say of men/boys crying in public, but also Damon hates to see the happy little boy he knows and loves in such as state, while Damon tries to hold in his own tears, as the only woman he loves and that ever loved him is now dead.
Flashing forward a few years later, Damon is slightly older now, he's arguing with his father, he's wearing old-time clothing, as a scared Stefan who is also in older style clothing trembles, hides behind his protective older brother, Damon is shielding him from their father.
Flashing to Damon and Stefan playing football and laughing outside the Salvatore residence.
A plaque on the side of their house reads Salvatore Estate 1864 it appears relatively new. Katerina arrives at the Salvatore Estate, where she is promptly greeted by Damon, Stefan and Giuseppe their father, She claims to be an orphan, whose family died in the Atlanta fires, she is accompanied by her maid Emily, they both wear big beautiful dresses with many skirts.
The visions flash suddenly, to Damon in bed with Katherine, she appears to be biting him roughly, to Katherine in bed with Stefan in bed with her instead, he too appears to be being bitten, but in a lot more pain than his older brother, there wasn't much time between the two mating's either, going by appearances. Vampire is whispered in Sheila's voice in an echo around the room.
Katherine teaching Damon how to hunt humans, she is covered in blood, her mouth and her clothes, her fangs retracting back into her gums, Damon tries to wipe away the blood from her mouth with a napkin, but Katherine shakes her head, explaining that if he wants to be what she is then, he will need to get used to the taste, he nods tentatively, they're watching each other closely, as she grabs at the hair at the nape of his neck and pulls him into a passionate kiss.
Flash forward to Damon returning from fighting in the civil war, he is in his grey uniform, looking very handsome, smirking at his younger brother who is very happy to see he has returned, they're beaming at each other, he came back out of concern for Stefan. Regardless of the wrath of his father, but he didn't agree with the confederacies principles either, so that made it easier.
Stefan escorts Katherine to the first founder's ball at the Lockwood's Estate, later Stefan confesses his love to the brown-eyed beauty, she shares the sentiment wholeheartedly, Damon looks on, as he sees his brother proclaiming his love, to the love of his life.
Katherine is playing croquet with Guiseppi as Damon and Stefan watch on worriedly, worried that he will discover the truth about their love. Stefan tells Damon of his plan to go to their father and explain, that not all vampires are evil.
Damon then simply begs him not to mention this to their father, as he won't understand and will grow suspicious. After his father brings up vampires in Mystic Falls, Stefan goes to him and tries to persuade him that not all vampires are bad, even after Damon's warning, he thinks that he can trust him and that his father will understand, maybe even change his mind, however his father says that they're not all the same, that the vampires do not have souls.
Stefan goes to see Katherine, where she bites him after they make love and suddenly she jumps back, "Vervain" she gasps, in a pained hushed voice.
Just then Giuseppe and the sheriff burst through his bedroom door, along with some deputy's, his father explains how he had put Vervain in Stefan's drink because he knew that he was hiding something and maybe even protecting someone, he was disappointed in Stefan that he was right to be suspicious.
Damon is desperate and angry after finding out what happened with Katherine, all because of his stupid naive brother, he goes to Emily Bennett the witch to ask for her help to save Katherine, she was after all Katherine's maid, he finds her and he begins to bargain, she agrees but if she saves Katherine, then he must protect the Bennett line, he agrees without a second thought.
Suddenly the vision shifts to somewhere, in a dark wooded area, an old style sheriffs car had stopped in the woodland area, Stefan appears behind the car as he sends the men around it in other directions, Damon slips out from behind the trees to join his brother.
They pull Katherine out of the back, just as she hits the floor, they begin to take the mask from her face, when there is a loud gunshot, Damon gasps and falls down, "NO DAMON!"Stefan shouts as he picks up a gun to defend his brother and himself, he aims it into the distance, where the shot had come from, just then another loud gunshot sounds, Stefan falls down to the floor facing his brother gasping for air.
The next day, Damon and Stefan awake in transition at the quarry, Emily gives them both daylight rings, but both of them decide they are to die, as they believe Katherine is dead, that life is not worth being a vampire and having an eternity without her alone.
Stefan visits his father to say goodbye and tell him that he was going to die, his father immediately backs away from his youngest son, Stefan tries to explain that he has made the decision to not complete the transition, into a vampire and his choice is to die.
But his father tries to stake him, causing Stefan to act in self-defence, but not realizing his own strength he flings his father, hard into a wall, going to help him Stefan notices he is bleeding and loses any control he had, proceeding to feed on his father completing the transition.
Stefan returns to Damon, who is weak now barely standing, but he has made his decision and has come to peace with it, with dying.
Stefan begins to explain how glorious it is to be a vampire to his brother. Trying to convince his Damon to turn, as he is unable to spend an eternity without his brother. After trying and failing to convince Damon to drink willingly from the girl he has supplied, Stefan rips into the girls soft neck, presenting it to Damon, who is weak and unable to resist, he licks and sucks the girls blood off of her skin, right before he sinks his fangs into the voluptuous skin on her neck, completing the transition.
Damon is upset with his brother, believing he is the reason they lost Katherine and that he forced him to turn. He vows that he will cause Stefan an eternity of misery as that is what he will now live as well.
Emily reveals to Damon that Katherine is, in fact, alive, but doesn't explain where except she will tell him in time. That the reason she didn't tell them was she didn't want it to affect their decision, Damon decides that he won't tell Stefan, holding a grudge against his younger brother, who he was once so close to.
Stefan with Lexi where she tells him she wants to help him control his ripper side, just then Damon decides he must leave, he cannot watch his brother become more of a monster, he tells Lexi to look after his brother before he leaves Stefan behind for the first time doing something for himself.
He himself is not happy to be a vampire, he becomes depressed and disgusted at his brother and the way he is behaving, as he tries to remember the young boy he once knew, he burns all the vervain in Mystic Falls before leaving it behind him.
Flash forward many years as the focus comes and reveals... Ric meeting his wife Isabelle at Duke University, a young Jeremy Gilbert falls from a tree breaking his arm.
Bonnie, Caroline and Elena at Sheila's house, talking and laughing, Sheila walks in Bonnie's room at her house, to tell the girls lunch is ready.
Alaric is given a gaudy ring by his wife Isabelle, she tells him to wear it always, as it will protect him from things that go bump in the night.
Damon visits Isabelle at her home because she asks him to turn her, he feeds her his blood before draining her, he hears a noise the husband he thinks he scoops up her lifeless body disappearing from the window of their bedroom.
Ric knows what he saw, however unbelievable he begins to take her research more seriously. She is declared a missing person, a few weeks after her, "disappearance" although Ric and her family believed her to be dead, Ric begins to hunt vampires, in hopes of finding her.
Liz's husband Bill reveals he is gay and he leaves her and his daughter, to go and be with his lover.
Damon meets Elena for the first time, in the middle of a road, after they talk he compels her to forget their meeting, as he isn't ready for anyone to know that he's in town yet.
Stefan is next to meet her, after he spots a car going off of Wickery bridge, he decides to save the people in the sinking car, he tries to save the father, but he refuses his help, saying that he won't be taken by Stefan until his daughter is saved, he points to the back seat, Stefan agrees he saves her, but unfortunately her parents die shortly after he pulls her from the car, Stefan is stunned when he sees her face.
While waiting for their aunt Jenna to arrive home, Jeremy and Elena stayed with the sheriff Liz Forbes, along with Caroline her daughter and one of Elena's best friends.
Stefan is still shocked by how much Elena looks like Katherine, he realizes that he has to stay in Mystic Falls, he has to know her.
Damon was also observing this girl curiously, she may look like Katherine but she was nothing like her at all, but he couldn't understand the resemblance it had him stumped.
Flash forward and Jeremy and Elena are now living with their aunt Jenna, in their home, Stefan officially meets Elena at school and again the graveyard, after she ran from Damon. Unknowingly as he was in crow form while watching her.
Damon kills two campers and feeds from Matt's sister, Vicky Donovan before he leaves her in plain sight, to make sure someone discovers her body, there is a party in the distance, Jeremy finds her almost straight away as he was looking for her, to begin with.
Damon and Stefan finally reunite after 15 years, a crow flies into Stefan's bedroom window at the boarding house, he knows what is about to happen, or who more accurately. As Stefan turns around, he sees just who he expected "Damon" Stefan says begrudgingly, "Hello brother" Damon replies to Stefan with a smirk, those blue eyes full of mischief that was yet to come.
They talk about trivial things for a little while, until Damon brings up drinking Elena's blood, Stefan's inner vampire erupts to the surface and he lunges at Damon. Sending them both out of the second story window of the boarding house, glass flying everywhere, the brothers falling straight to the ground.
Stefan is in pain as they land, while Damon gets up and leans on the hedges, waiting for Stefan while he is taunting him, Stefan begs Damon to just end their feud and if he can't just to leave. Damon says he has no interest in making up or leaving, in fact, he quite likes it here, that he promised Stefan an eternity of misery and that's just what he's going to get.
Damon officially meets Elena again, this time he lets her remember their meeting, when she comes to the boarding house, even if to just rub it in Stefan's face.
Stefan and Elena kiss.
Damon and Caroline meet again for the second time, but they finally talk and he fakes his interest in her, eventually, they have sex and then he feeds on her. Caroline wakes up in a panic she sees Damon next to her naked and images flash through her mind, as she remembers last night, she makes it to her bedroom door she turns back to look at her bed.
She realizes he isn't there, as she turns back to the door and she jumps back because he is right in front of her. She panics using anything to hand to try and hurt this monster, but he dodges them all, or they just don't seem to faze him, she throws her pillow at him he catches it, the expression on his face may as well say are you serious, before he pounces on her, his face changing to its vampire form.
Bonnie continues to keep having her intense visions of three numbers but she has no idea why.
Anna arrives in mystic falls, she has missed her home she realizes almost immediately. While she is here, she will consider telling the Salvatore's about Katherine, not being in the tomb and she knows where she is, but she wants the vampires in the tomb to stay contained.
Damon spends the morning feeding from a compelled Caroline, causing her to be late for school.
Stefan joins the football team, being careful not to use his powers.
Elena invites Bonnie and Stefan over to her house, hoping they can set aside their differences for her, at least try to get along with one another.
Which they had begun to do with Stefan showing an interest in her lineage, especially the part about the salaam witches, but before they could get any further Damon and a compelled Caroline turn up at the front door, Elena invites them in, against Stefan's advice and annoyance.
Damon was talking to Elena in the kitchen, where he convinced her to quit cheer-leading, which she does the next day. Stefan gives Elena a necklace, which he has filled with Vervain, to protect her from Damon and any other vampire who might hurt her.
Jeremy is fighting with Tyler after a football game, when Stefan comes over and splits them up, much to Jeremy's anguish and he Gashes Stefan's hand on the glass Jeremy was wielding, as Jeremy swung at Tyler, Elena panics as she sees blood but Stefan convinces her its not his, as he rapidly heals unbeknownst to her.
Damon tries to compel Elena to kiss him, he doesn't know it didn't work until it's too late, he leans in and she slaps him, the necklace Stefan gave her had protected her from his brother's compulsion.
After Stefan confronts Damon and says he still believes he has humanity, at least inside him somewhere, no matter how deep down he will find it someday, Damon quickly jumps at the chance and proves his brother otherwise, when he rips coach Tanners throat out in front of him, just to prove he is void of humanity, then he just walks away with a swagger in his strides.
Bonnie's numbers repeating in her visions the last week begin to make sense, as she looks around the parking lot, where the police cars and ambulances are, she sees the numbers in a line and understands they were related to Tanner's death.
Damon visits Elena late at night, as she sleeps, he watches over her a while, before he caresses her face proving to only himself that he cares.
Damon covers his attacks and murders, with a story of a mountain lion.
Stefan takes Elena to the founder's ball, while Damon takes Caroline.
Sheriff Forbes sees her daughter arrive, with an older man no less, she confronts her and is shocked at the way her daughter talks to her, Damon leaves her to it saying he's going to grab a drink.
Damon disappears upstairs and finds what he is looking for, the crystal which Emily sealed the tomb with to keep Katherine safe way back when.
Elena sees Caroline's bite marks, which were inflicted by Damon, she doesn't need Caroline to tell her this she just knows, while they are in the bathroom together Caroline panics at her questioning and leaves the bathroom in a hurry, where she runs into an angry looking Damon.
Jeremy is at home when there is a knock at the door, it's Vicky, she kisses him and he leads her upstairs to his room to fool around.
Stefan is told about the bite marks on Caroline by Elena, luckily earlier that night he slipped Caroline Vervain, he tells Elena he is dealing with it before he leaves looking for Damon and Caroline. Stefan finds them both near a tree in the Lockwood garden, he scoops Damon up the vervain clearly in his system, he quickly leaves with his brother and leaves Caroline there, knowing Elena was probably following him.
when they get back to the Salvatore boarding house, Stefan quickly and haphazardly throws Damon into the cellar. Then he says he is leaving him to desiccate, so he can't hurt anyone else, then when he has fully desiccated he will throw Damon in the family crypt until Stefan decides that he can try to redeem himself.
Caroline comes to, with no sign of Damon, she picks up the forgotten crystal, Elena runs up to her and she cries on her best friends shoulder.
Jeremy awakes to a laughing Vicky, who claimed she had an awkward encounter with his sister this morning, in their joint bathroom he shares with his sister.
Stefan and Elena argue she is convinced he is hiding things from her and she wants to know what it is.
Damon manages to connect to Caroline physically, even in his very weak state due to the Vervain and lack of blood consumption. He calls for her and she eventually comes and lets him out, as Zack runs in throwing himself in front of the teen, holding the door shut the best he can tell her to run. When he breaks out of the cell, Damon breaks his neck straight away, knowing he is full of Vervain.
Damon goes to chase Caroline, but as he reaches the front door and runs as fast as she can, the sun burns him, as he puts a foot outside the door, he quickly looks down at his hand and shocked, when he notices that his ring is gone, Stefan, he growls angrily.
Bonnie sets a car on fire by accident, at the school car wash after she gets angry, with one of the girls there is just being plain horrible. Stefan is the one who breaks her from her trance. She thanks Stefan and asks him not to tell anyone, just before she leaves taking off towards her grams house, where Sheila explains about their family and the witches in the past up to now.
Damon feeds on Vicky again and after she still didn't die, he took her back to the boarding house to entertain himself, after he gets bored waiting for her to awake he gives her his blood to heal her. She wakes up they dance and drink, as the day wore on they slow danced, where she sobbed on his shoulder about the problems he proceeded to tell her how pathetic she was, then he snapped her neck killing her.
After Stefan discovers what Damon has done to Vicki, Stefan plans to kill his brother so he can cause no more harm, but as he is leaving the stake in hand, he almost walks into Elena when he opens the door. She said that she knew he wasn't human, but she wouldn't say what she believed him to be after she asked again what are you.
I think you no he said again, letting out a sigh he said, a vampire, she fled in her car not giving him a second to explain, forgetting about Damon, Stefan raced after her, he jumped in her bedroom window as she arrived home, begging her to understand and not tell anyone, that he would never hurt her, she broke up with him on the spot and asked him to leave, he reluctantly listened and left her house.
Liz was in a founders meeting with a small portion of the council, where Logan Fell explained he had acquired the Gilbert watch from their house.
Flash forward to Caroline and Matt start dating while Elena tells Stefan they should continue to just be friends.
Alaric Saltzman arrives in Mystic Falls, where he begins to befriend Jeremy and his aunt Jenna, after meeting him at school and meeting her in the Grill. Jeremy pleased that finally a teacher was taking an interest in helping him, rather than hindering him.
Stefan brother bonded with Damon, to try and discover his plans, Damon revealed that Katherine was still alive but she was desiccated in the tomb, that he planned to release her so they could be together again at last.
Bonnie told Caroline and Elena, what was happening with Emily and about the dreams, she was having. They had a seance which ended up with Emily taking over Bonnie's body, before rushing from the Gilbert residence.
Damon was the first to find Bonnie/Emily, they talked for a few moments before Stefan arrived, Emily Started to explain how all those years ago, she had to trap the other 25 vampires in the tomb as well, she had to save them in order to save Katherine, with one comes all she said.
So by releasing Katherine, you release the others, Stefan gaped at his brother shocked at this information "You cant do that Damon" he said.
"Another thing you may not know" Emily said, "Anna you remember her, right" they nodded "well she had to watch her mother staked in front of everyone by Johnathon Gilbert, while I hid with her in the bushes, because it was too late for her mother, he was angered by her betrayal and that she managed to convince him, she was human and he fell in love with her.
Now she was the closest thing that Katherine had to a best friend and she just watched and left her behind, only for her to be caught later. She doesn't deserve to be released for so many reasons, Damon merely shrugged, "I just want Katherine, I'll burn the rest" Emily shook her head, "I can't allow that Damon" and she threw the talisman in the air, "Incendio", and it shattered in a ball of light.
"NO" Damon shouted, as the fire went down Bonnie uttered "Damon," before he lunged at her ripping into her neck, Elena ran from nowhere and knelt by her best friend, "Bonnie no," she said sadly. "Stefan help please" Elena shouted to the vampire, he knelt beside her and ripped into his wrist, feeding Bonnie his blood.
Flash forward again to Ric, he kills a vampire, Logan Fell after he realizes he is stalking Jenna, Damon didn't manage to find out who Logan was working with before he was staked.
Stefan and Elena were hanging out more now, starting to get used to being friends, they were at the boarding house in his room, discussing people he had known and met in his lifetime.
Elena asked for a glass of water, of course, he said he could do with some blood anyway. Stefan returned to his room to find no sign of Elena, she had gone just left and then he noticed the picture he still had of Katherine, it was upside down on the floor, he knew what had happened she had seen it, panicked then ran.
Damon saw a car crash, as he approached he knew it was Elena's car, he saw a man or vampire getting to his feet, heading towards the upturned car, before Damon could react the vampire saw him and sped away, causing Damon to go up to Elena's car and he managed to get her out. "I look like her," she said before fainting.
Elena and Damon go to Georgia where he asks Brie if the tomb can be opened another way, she keeps to the same answer "I told you years ago sugar, that is the only way".
An irritated Damon and Elena stay a while at the bar, for something to eat they begin to get drunk, Damon is lured out by Lexi's would have been boyfriend kidnapping Elena, Elena manages to convince him not to kill Damon and he leaves.
Before they leave, Damon kills Brie for betraying him and almost getting Elena and he killed, but not before she confesses that the answers lie in Emily's grimoire, hoping he will spare her life, but of course, he doesn't, he's Damon freaking Salvatore.
Anna and Jeremy meet where she poses as a home-schooled student, she's glad to be home and is debating whether or not to tell the Salvatore's about Katherine, she has heard whispers of other vampires trying to break into the tomb, including Damon and some guy who was also turned by Katherine in 1864, he is trying to release his father and sister she has heard his name is Noah, but she needs and wants to find out more before disclosing this information.
Bonnie is struggling with her magic after being attacked by Damon, she scared, her grams Sheila tells her that she must face her fears in order to overcome them.
Damon and Elena return.
Flash forward to Damon surprising himself as he apologizes to Bonnie for almost killing her, he doesn't know why but he feels like he should and dare he say it slightly worse, there is just something about the little witch, he explains he saw red and he saw her as Emily, not as herself. She accepts this and is surprised by his apology, but accepts it, all the same, Bonnie is still pissed at him and doesn't want to talk to him for a while.
Stefan gives Elena the compass to help her identify vampires after it became clear that Noah was stalking her for her resemblance to his sire.
Elena told Stefan about the research for her mother, he told her to be careful and never meet anyone alone.
Ric asks Jeremy where he sourced his information for his paper, as he was very interested, Jeremy explained about the journal Ric asks to borrow it, explaining it's like porn to a history teacher, a first-person account of the civil war, they both laugh and Jeremy hands it over to him with a shrug, he needed to learn more about vampires, Ric found himself saying under his breath.
Noah tried to get to Elena at home, but he failed stopped by Stefan who he overpowered and left, shortly after he vamps out Damon arrives at the Gilbert household. Damon suggested going to the dance to lure him out and kill him, as he has been invited in, he can now enter whenever he wants.
Jeremy and Anna met again, at the dance where she wrote her number on his hand before leaving, she really liked him, if he needed time she got that she would give it to him, Jeremy smiled at Anna's retreating figure strange but hot he thought.
Stefan faked a truce with Damon and Damon asked Elena whether or not Stefan could be trusted, he trusted her and she wouldn't lie to him right.
Caroline kisses Matt for the first time in a while, but she could tell he was holding back, she knew deep down he still loved Elena.
Noah didn't turn up at the dance, he sent one of his lackeys in his place.
After his meeting with the younger Salvatore, just before they staked the random vampire, he said the reason Noah wanted in the tomb was to save his father and sister, Anna was watching from the hallway and quickly left before she was seen, Noah had one more vampire working for him, but wouldn't give a name.
Another flash forward, Elena screams Stefan, bolts up the stairs of the Gilbert house, followed by Anna. Stefan you, me and Damon need to talk now, I know who has Elena. reluctantly he follows her and they leave and flash to the boarding house, after calling Damon he is very disinterested but he shows up none the less, when they all arrive, Anna explains how Noah and his father and sister were turned by Katherine as well, they are in the tomb, she says mainly looking at Damon.
Damon, Katherine was never in the tomb, she escaped somehow, she was never inside and you deserve to know. Both Salvatore's looked at the young looking girl shocked, wait I can prove it, she says I saw her in New York, in the 50's and I have seen a dozen places since.
Before she can finish Damon huffs, "She wouldn't do that, I'm going to open that tomb even if it kills me, I'll prove it to all of you".
Anna sighs ready to leave as Stefan stops her, you know where Elena is right, Anna nodded.
"Right she said I'll take you but, Noah and Ben have Elena and Bonnie" An explained looking between the brothers, "Wait why do they have the witch" Damon pipped up at the mention of the witches name, "Well like I said, they need to get in the tomb, they need a Bennett witch and Bonnie is easier than her grandmother" Anna explained as if it were obvious, though it probably should have been.
"I guess I better come with you two then, so you don't cock it up, I need Bon-Bon", he says before adding, "Don't look at me like that, you no so I can get in the tomb" noticing the looks on their faces, although neither of them said anything.
Luckily no one noticed the way Damon lingered before adding that last part, the three vampires left, they arrive outside of a motel. When Anna points to a door "That one" she says. Damon and Stefan spring into action and burst through the door.
"Where are they, you weasel" Damon growls at the vampire in front of him, as Stefan throws open the curtains and Anna stands behind the Salvatore's.
"I assume your boss is out, so we're going to send him a little message, via you of course", Damon said looking at Anna and smirking, she got the hint and smirked back, waiting for him to say it, "Well you die, just because I don't like you and well, I like to kill the messenger, you know why?" he whispers his tone sinister, in the other guys ear sending shivers up the other mans spine. "It sends a message", Anna smirked at Damon unable to wait.
"Mr Salvatore may I partake," she said trying to hold in a laugh, "Why young miss, I would be insulted if you didn't," he said with a southern drawl, they laughed then in a very sinister way at each other before, they lunged at the terrified vampire.
Damon uttered "Stefan why don't you take the girls home, Anna and I have some business to take care of" Stefan merely nodded at his brother.
Stefan hauls an unconscious Bonnie up and troubled Elena as he uses his vampire speed to take them back to the boarding house. As he leaves the room he can't help but hear flesh tearing and screams, of the man he assumes, will be a bloody mess at the hands of the two older vampires, who are both growling angrily.
Bonnie and Sheila realized they would get no piece from the elder Salvatore, until they opened the tomb, so they reluctantly agreed to do so, but Sheila demanded that once Katherine was free that they burn the rest, Damon agreed to the terms straight away, he couldn't give a shit about any of the other vampires anyway.
Flash on a little and Jeremy discovers Anna's secret after she transforms by accident in front of him, but he was shocked but excited to discover this, and everything that was Anna, she was an amazing person anyway. Anna was excited to finally have someone who she cared about her, around who knew all about her, they decided to go back to the Gilbert residence and talk it out.
when Stefan arrived at the tomb, Noah is standing there "Stefan Salvatore" he says, "Noah I assume, you can either leave or die, that's up to you, but your not going in there" Stefan said challenging him,"No chance", Noah uttered before launching at Stefan, who was ready "Want to see my big toy" Stefan remarked and pointed the flamethrower at him. Noah gasped as Stefan set him ablaze.
All of a sudden, there was a rustling coming from the bushes Stop! Stefan yelled down to the tomb, causing everyone to stop in there tracks and come up from the tomb, Damon flew up and he was followed by Sheila and Bonnie and lastly Elena.
Stefan was standing opposite a smug looking Katherine, "lover" she said looking at Stefan. "Katherine", Damon said in an almost whisper, he felt all of his energy drained at an instant, realizing that Anna had told him the truth. She held out her hand to Damon to stop his movements.
"Damon I'm not here for you", she said turning her gaze back to Stefan, "I love you, Stefan, it's always been you" before Stefan could talk, Damon had thrown himself at Katherine, "You bitch", he said his vampire features showing.
"After everything I've done for you, risked for you, are you serious right now" he spat angrily, "You evil conniving bitch" he growled in her face their noses almost touching.
She spun around, getting a firm grip around his neck slamming him into a tree, "Don't you dare mess with me, little boy, let's not forget I made you, I can destroy you just as easy" she dropped him and he slumped to the ground looking broken.
She grabbed Stefan and sped them over to the boarding house, he ultimately told her to leave, more from loyalty to his brother. He still loved this evil woman somehow, but he just couldn't do this to his big brother.
Damon offered to take Elena home as he dropped her off, she gave him a kiss on the cheek and he turned, "I'm here if you if you ever need to talk" she said kindly, he nodded before leaving.
He couldn't look at her anymore she just reminded him of what he had lost tonight, indeed forever. He returned home to find Stefan alone, "Not now Stefan," he said and he just went to his room, to let the dark swallow him whole hopefully.
Bonnie and Sheila were talking at home about the events of the day, Bonnie couldn't help but feel bad for Damon, she just can't explain what she is feeling anymore why was she feeling anything for him.
End of Vision
Sorry guys I know that wasn't most of the story, but I didn't want to overdo it, but if you do have any questions, about how they have all come to where they are now, or anything else then please don't hesitate to ask
Thank you for reading!

Two Halves Of My Rainbow (4/?)
Hey-o. Still doing that Jerevinwood soulmate AU, this one with hints of casual Alfreyan in it.  
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, AO3 
Ryan’s familiar with guns. From training, from field duty, from the one pistol he owns to the grenade launchers they confiscate from unwieldy crew members, from rat-tat-tat-tat ammo and the thick, heavy booms of rockets, the resulting debris that skitters across the crime scenes.
He’s familiar with cars. From his own, from the FIB ones, from high-speed chases down motorways to road blockades, from cumbersome vans with too much weight on the back wheels and armoured supercars taken away to be stripped for parts, or freed of their extra cocaine baggage.
Ryan’s not quite familiar with being on the wrong side of it all.
And he’s definitely not that familiar with motorbikes.
But Alfredo apparently trusted him enough for this, swinging a leg behind Ryan on the bike and yelling at him to go as sirens whoops behind them and Ryan guns the engine, following a path he knows like the back of his hand, weaving through traffic and it’s not panic building in his throat for once but rather adrenaline, making his skin tingle and his hands sweat in the leather gloves. He can hear Alfredo shooting behind him, the pop and burst of tyres as Alfredo clears their tail – there’s bullets whizzing by them as well, tearing into the road either side of them and ricocheting off of surrounding vehicles, terrifying and thrilling all at once and Ryan can’t help but smile to himself under his helmet.
It wasn’t even a big hit, just a quick pit-stop at Ammu-Nation to liberate them of some extra guns, and here Ryan is, being chased by the same people Geoff and Michael are working with, running for his life and loving it more than he ever thought he would.
He’s clumsy on the turns, oversteering and wobbling a bit but Alfredo doesn’t seem concerned, just holds onto him tighter and whoops when they’re free of the cops, wrapping both his arms around Ryan and his gun knocking against Ryan’s hip.
Ryan is so out of his depth.
He loves it.
-- 
Ryan learns quickly. Picks up on all the little subtleties and amasses more guns and runs more jobs with Alfredo – simple two-people heists, gas stations and drug deals and the sort of shit that garners him a reputation.
He picks out Vagabond one late night over dinner with Alfredo, hooking sticky noodles around his chopsticks and toying with the cube of chicken as they talk.  
And Vagabond he becomes.
Ryan’s killed people before, sure, in the line of duty, but like this it’s almost better – no red tape and no paperwork and nothing but surety when he fires a bullet between the eyes of the guy running the local sex slavery ring the FIB have been trying to break up for months and bam, over. He’ll leave the paperwork to his former colleagues.
He hasn’t heard a fucking word about any new crime duo. He figures Gavin and Jeremy are laying low, but in the meantime Ryan’s plunged himself into a whole new lifestyle and he’s floundering a little, a constant struggle between fight and flee and life and death.
He abandons his house. Leaves a cryptic goodbye at Geoff’s door with apologies for Jack and Michael in there as well and takes up residence in a shitty little flat on the edges of Vespucci and tries not to regret.
The panic creeps in sometimes, when he’s alone and sitting on the flimsy balcony and trying to rationalise – he can’t rationalise – what, he left his stable job and stable income and his friends to go run off and become a criminal in the city he once protected? All because of some stupid fucking soulmates who gave him colour and didn’t even know him? All because of – of –
And that’s the part when Ryan’s brain shuts down and the world is big and scary and terrifying and he buries his face in his hands to muffle himself and the only little shred of hope he can use to remind himself where he is and what he’s doing is that he knows what colour the creeping vines on his balcony railing are.  
-- 
“Ryan?” Alfredo asks while they’re unloading guns in his office, dumping them unceremoniously on the desk and uncaring of the paperwork scattered over the surface.
“Yeah?” Ryan replies distractedly, fixing the precarious position of a few pistols.
“Can you hand me that blue paperclip?”
“Sure.” Without thinking, Ryan reaches for the blue plastic paperclip in the bowl and offers it up – and pauses, and looks up, and sees Alfredo’s eyes narrowed a little, his nose scrunched up as he scrutinises him.
“Lucky guess?” Ryan jokes, but it falls flat.
“I knew there was something different,” Alfredo says. “You’ve met them, haven’t you?”
Ryan carefully declines to answer, swallowing thickly and dropping the paperclip to shove his hands in his jacket pockets.
“When?” Alfredo asks. “Last time I saw you – the Dewsbury bust-up. You were still...”
Ryan still doesn’t answer.
“It’s why you left the agency, isn’t it?” Alfredo continues, softer.
“Thanks for all the help, ‘Fredo,” Ryan says quietly, and turns to go – Alfredo catches him around the arm and Ryan turns his head away, blinking back something he doesn’t want to name. Shame, fear, embarrassment, regret. That age-old panic that never fades away no matter how much he does.
“Who are they?” Alfredo asks.
“I...don’t know,” Ryan admits. “I don’t – I don’t know.”
“Why didn’t you tell me - ”
“It’s not important,” Ryan says gruffly, yanking his arm away. Alfredo grunts and claps a hand on his shoulder to hold him back, stepping around to stand beside him.
“I think it’s pretty fucking important, Agent,” Alfredo spits. “You’re different.”
“I’m a criminal.”
“Not just like that. I remember working with you before.”
“Alfredo - ”
“Who’s so important you gave up your life for them?”
Ryan – can’t answer that. Doesn’t know how to. Doesn’t even know where the fuck to begin – two idiots playing computer games irresponsibly late, two idiots laughing over some stupid inside joke Ryan wasn’t even in on, two fucking idiots getting themselves hurt and patching each other up, two stupid motherfucking idiots that crawled their stupid way into Ryan’s life and into Ryan’s mind and filled in the rest of the world like a colouring book for him and he thinks somewhat moronically that if he ever met them, the I love you would roll off his tongue easier than the hello, I’m Ryan, who are you? and isn’t that just ridiculous.
“Like I said,” Ryan says, chews up the words and spits them out much harsher than the first time. “I don’t know.”
Alfredo studies him for a moment more and then releases him, stepping back to let Ryan move freely.
“I hope they’re worth it,” he says.
I hope so, too, Ryan thinks but doesn’t say. Leaves with a gruff see you tomorrow and knocks against the doorframe on the way out.
-- 
Despite the panic, despite the unknown, despite the residual regret still crawling up Ryan’s spine and sometimes blooming across his consciousness in fitful sleep and trembling fingers, he pushes on. Learns and fights and learns some more, takes hard hits and harder falls – Alfredo’s there to catch him, and he’s there to catch him right back, almost literally most of the time.
And Ryan doesn’t lose his morals. No he fucking doesn’t – he sticks to hurting only those who deserve it, refuses any outside offers that require anything else. Alfredo’s, thankfully, on the same lines as him, tells him what bosses to avoid and what types of deals to decline, who’s good for what and who’s scum of the earth. 
Not as many people as Ryan thought, honestly.
But he sticks with Alfredo and he grows in leaps and bounds, and his turns on the bike aren’t so clumsy anymore and he’s a quicker draw on the guns – much quicker on the SMGs now, and pretty decent on sniper rifles thanks to Alfredo’s training.
Right now, during a quiet evening after a busy day, he’s on cleaning duty, leaning against the railing of his shitty little balcony and wiping a rag over his rifle – Alfredo tugs open his fridge inside and signs something – Ryan responds with a quick gesture and Alfredo nods, shooting him a thumbs up before he reaches in.
Alfredo collapses beside Ryan a minute later, cracking open a soda and passing it over as he pops the tab on his own, clinking it with a laugh against Ryan’s before drinking. The sunset stripes over Alfredo’s face in a pleasant glow, softening all his edges and bringing out the gentlest sort of warmth Ryan could only ever imagine just months ago.
“Hey, gimme a taste of that,” Alfredo asks, jerking his chin towards Ryan’s can. Ryan starts to offer it up but Alfredo leans in to catch his lips instead, grinning at Ryan’s little huff of laughter.
“Coulda just asked,” Ryan mumbles. Alfredo lightly smacks his hand and Ryan turns it palm-up to feel what Alfredo’s about to say. 
Shut up, Alfredo signs.
Shutting up, Ryan replies.

Always Been Here
Summary: (Y/N) has been there for her best friend, Jeremy Heere through everything. Even when the SQUIP makes him abandon her
Author’s Note: Tag list has moved to the bottom!
* * * * *
(Y/N) was best friends with Michael Mell and Jeremy Heere pretty much her whole life.The trio met in second grade and remained friends ever since. (Y/N) was always there for them, no matter how it inconvenienced her. When Jeremy’s mother left, she went over to his house and hung out with him for a week straight.
Over the years, (Y/N) developed a crush on Jeremy. She thought it was just a quick thing that happened because she only spent time with two guys. Boy, was she wrong. After a few months, she realized that she was in love with Jeremy. According to Michael, she made it “painfully obvious,” yet Jeremy never noticed. She’d never admit it, but her heart broke when she noticed how Jeremy was falling for Christine.
When eleventh grade rolled around, things weren’t much different. The trio was still seen as ‘losers’ but Michael and (Y/N) didn’t really care. Jeremy did. Despite not being popular, guys noticed (Y/N). They noticed her beauty and tried flirting with her, but she’d turn them all down. Only one guy persisted, Rich Goranski. She’d repeatedly reject him, but he kept trying, partly to annoy Jeremy, partly because he thought she was beautiful.
One day after school, the trio was in Jeremy’s basement, playing video games like the nerds they were. Jeremy was telling them about his encounter with Rich in the bathroom. 
“I’m telling you, he’s scamming you,” (Y/N) said, passing Michael in Mario Cart. “Why would he suddenly want to help you, Jere? He’s made your life miserable.”
“Yeah, but what if he’s not?”
She sighed. “Then I don’t know what to tell you.” Her phone buzzed in her pocket. “Mom’s here. See you losers tomorrow!” (Y/N) tossed her controller in the basket and grabbed her bag before waving to the boys and walking out to her mom’s car. 
“Hey, sweetie!” her mom said when she flopped into the front seat. “How was school?” 
“Eh, it was school,” she shrugged. “I signed up for the scenery and tech crew for the play, though.”
The next day after Michael picked (Y/N) up for school, he told her about the boys’ adventure at Payless. She just shook her head.
“Did I or did I not tell him it was a scam?”
Michael laughed, “No, you warned him.”
Over the course of the day, (Y/N) noticed that Jeremy was ignoring her, something he’d never done. When she met up with Michael, she found out that Jeremy had been ignoring him too. They finally caught up with him after school, where they found out that that SQUIP did work.
“That’s awesome, Jere!” (Y/N) said, hugging the lanky teen. “We have to go celebrate!”
“Yeah, let’s get stoned in my basement!” Michael offered. Jeremy turned down the offer and blew them off yet again.
(Y/N) was tossing a tennis ball at her wall and catching it when she got a text from Jeremy.
Nerd #2: hey, you should come to jake’s halloween party
Loser: Jake who?
Nerd #2: jake dillinger. the football player?
She rolled her eyes and texted Michael.
Loser: Hey, Jeremy invite you to Jake Dillinger’s party?
Nerd #1: Yeah, why?
Loser: Because there’s no way in hell I’m going by myself with Jeremy and his girlfriend.
Nerd #1: good point
When the night of the party came, (Y/N) was pretty excited. She was going as Bonnie Parker and was very invested. She got a red wig and everything. She was putting the finishing touches on her costume when Michael beeped the horn.
“I’m coming, I’m coming!” She called, knowing he couldn’t hear her. She slipped the earrings in as she ran out to the PT Cruiser.
"Hey, you look good, (Y/N)," Michael said as she slipped into his car.
"Thanks. You ready to go?"
The party itself went by in a bit of a blur for (Y/N). She remembered getting there and having a red solo cup thrust into her hands and being pushed onto the makeshift dance floor, but that was about it. She was standing by the snack table, her cup still full, when she noticed Jeremy slinking off with a girl that was definitely not Brooke. Then she realized Michael was nowhere to be found.
Loser: Hey where are you?
Nerd #1: why?
Loser: MICHAEL
Nerd #1: bathroom.
(Y/N) made her way down the hall and knocked on the bathroom door. "Michael, it's me." The door opened and (Y/N) immediately noticed how red and puffy her friend's eyes were. "Oh, my god, what happened?"
"Can we just go?" he mumbled. "I'll tell you in the car."
(Y/N) clicked her tongue. "How drunk are you?"
"I had like three beers."
"Alright, give me your keys."
"What?"
"There's no way in hell I'm letting you drive, give me your keys."
Michael reluctantly handed (Y/N) his keys and the two walked out to his car. As she drove them home, Michael filled (Y/N) in on his chat in the bathroom with Jeremy.
"You know what that's it," she said. "We need to get that stupid computer out of his brain."
When the play finally rolled around, (Y/N) was up in the rafters controlling the lights. Scene one ended and she sighed, rubbing her face. She so did not want to be there, especially with how Jeremy had been acting. Unfortunately, she made the commitment and was determined to stick to it. She started helping Brooke into her next costume when she noticed Jeremy and Mr. Reyes acting weird. After a heated conversation with the teacher, Jeremy seemed to be arguing with himself.(Y/N) pulled her phone out of her pocket.
Loser: Michael get your ass back here shit's going down
Loser: Bring the mountain dew red
The stupid SQUIP, (Y/N) thought to herself. Then she noticed how Jeremy seemed to be warring with himself and struggling for his phone. Michael burst through the door as (Y/N) climbed down to the main stage.
"Michael!" Jeremy said.
"I was just in the audience thinking 'this is pretty good for a school play.' Then I was like 'this is way too good for a school play!' They've all been SQUIP-ed. right?" he asked (Y/N) and Jeremy.
"Wait, you came to see me in the play?" Jeremy asked.
"That's not important right now, Jere," (Y/N) said. "Hey, Jake," she called. "Tis is gonna sound super weird, but if Michael and I hold down Jeremy, can you make him drink the Mountain Dew Red?"
"Actually, that doesn't sound weird at all." After taking the bottle from Michael, he cried out in pain, dropping it and causing it to spill.
"God fucking damnit," (Y/N) whispered. The SQUIP continued to affect the rest of the cast until it reached Christine.
"You are the person I want to be with everyday," Christine began, "And this is something that I've been afraid to say."
"That is not Christine," Jeremy said, shaking his head.
"You're the guy I am so kinda into. The guy I am totally into. This feeling is new. Jeremy, I love you."
(Y/N) felt her eyes sting with tears as she saw Jeremy look at the SQUIP-ed Christine. She grabbed her bag from the hook by the stage door before throwing it open and storming out. She started walking home, heart broken and tears falling. When she finally reached her house all the way across town, she ignored her parents' worried comments as she barricaded herself in her room.
 "Where's (Y/N)?" Jeremy asked when he finally came to. "Wasn't she just here?"
"Oh, uh, about that," Michael said awkwardly. "She kind of left when Christine was telling you that she loved you."
"What? Why? Why did she- why did she leave?"
"That's not really my place to share, Jeremy. Go talk to her." Michael suggested. "You know, she's always been there for you. Always."
(Y/N) was throwing a tennis ball at her wall and catching it as it bounced back when she heard the doorbell ring. She sighed and got up to answer the door. When she saw Jeremy standing at the door with bags filled with her favorite foods and movies, she scrunched up her eyebrows.
"Jeremy? What are you doing? Why are you here?"
"I... I want to apologize for being such a massive jerk," he said.
(Y/N) crossed her arms before sighing. "Yeah, alright."
"What?"
"I can't stay mad at you."
"Wait, why not? You should be furious with me. I was awful to you."
She shrugged. "It wasn't you. It wasn't my Jeremy."
"Why are you so cool with this? Why are you just excusing everything?"
"Because you're my friend, Jeremy." She lightly punched his arm. "My best friend."
Jeremy chewed his lip. "Why did you leave?"
"What?"
"Why did you leave? You know, when the SQUIP was controlling Christine."
"I, uh, I don't-"
Jeremy took a step closer to her. "You can tell me, (Y/N)."
"No, I- I really can't." She took a step back.
"Why not?"
"Because it'll ruin everything and I'll lose you," she said. "And I can't lose you. I-I love you." (Y/N) slapped her hand over her mouth.
"Wait, you what?" His eyes widened as everything seemed to click into place. "Oh," he whispered.
"Yeah, 'oh.' That's why I didn't want you to know. Now our whole friendship is going to be ruined and-"
She was cut off by a pair of lips pressed against her own. Jeremy's hands cupped her cheeks as he kissed her. When he pulled back, he looked at her. "Nothing's ruined, (Y/N). I think I might love you, too."

BEST TRACKS OF 2017-ARTISTS LIST #12
WOOZLES
Emotional rock as bright as a votive candle.  Woozles is the avatar of Connecticut's very own  Conor Ryan and in his sound he perfectly captures the essence of relationships between friends and lovers, the restlessness of days both good and bad and the enduring spirit to carry on even when life keeps giving you the hits. His Wasted Nights LP was released earlier this year via the venerable Z Tapes . In 2017 he will be gifting us more music. Here is his list with some thoughts on his favorite artists that did not make the cut!
2017 has been an awful year in general, but an incredible year for music. If I were to have not given myself limits on this end of the year list it would have included Tyler the Creator, Paramore, Khalid, Lorde, Deerhoof, Japanese Breakfast, Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Phoenix, Big Thief, and so many others. However, I wanted to try to focus on some "lesser known" bands that in my opinion might not have gotten the exposure they deserved this year. For anyone that just wants to listen instead of reading my rambling, here's a Spotify playlist of all the songs on this list that are available on Spotify. I hope you find some new hidden gems with this list and if you can be sure to support these artists! They need you! 
01. Rose by Sam Nazz I can't pinpoint in words exactly what makes this song so magical. Sam's vocals are absolutely incredible and the melody melts my heart. The lyrics are still cryptic to me, but somehow still hold a lot of meaning. For whatever reason, listening to this song has helped calm me down on multiple occasions this year and has helped me through a lot. 
02. Dark Red by Steve Lacy Wow this song is....amazing. The lyrics on this song hit hard for me and talk about dealing with anxiety in relationships, "What if she's fine / It's my mind that wrong." Steve's vocals are executed so well and I love the way the arrangement flows. There's a whole lot of amazing ideas packed into this three minute long song. This is going to be a bop for years to come. 
03. Lake by Flossy Clouds First of all, I want to say that this entire album is amazing. As a whole, it lives in a very special sonic world all on its own that I love to revisit, especially when I need to step back from the things running through my mind. This song in particular is a highlight that blends a borderline trap drumbeat with cycling acoustic guitars and emotional auto-harmonized vocals. Lyrically, like the last song, it touches on anxiety in relationships, but ends on a hopeful note, "But I remember when we're on the road / It doesn't matter where we go"
04. Footscray Station by Camp Cope Everything about this song is so special. The way this song unfolds rips my heart apart and makes me feel some kind of hard to pinpoint nostalgia. The lyrics are packed with such specific imagery that by the end of the song I feel like I've just finished reading someone's diary. Not to mention that the vocal delivery is so packed with emotion that it's hard to not hear this song without having tears in my eyes. 
05. Fault by Alex Napping Welcome to the heartbreak song with one of the best choruses of the year. It's a reflective song about feelings of guilt and blame in a relationship. The song builds a musical atmosphere that's painful and cathartic all at once. Not to mention, Alex's vocals are soaring on on this track, which elevates it to a whole other level. 
06. Makin' Excuses by Mister Heavenly Here's another song where it was hard for me to pick just one song from an album. Mister Heavenly is an indie supergroup composed of Honus Honus (the front person of Man Man), Nick Thorburn (the front person of Islands), and Joe Plummer (the drummer of The Shins). This song is a bop through and through. It has an infectious groove that bursts into pure sonic fun during the impossible-to-not-sing-along-to chorus. Lyrically it's about the hesitation that can come with starting a relationship. That feeling of not wanting to open yourself up completely and just be yourself with another person. On top of all this, the video is weirdly endearing and super creative. 
07. The Bus Song by Jay Som I can't say enough about how much I love this song and how much it means to me. The production on it is absolutely perfect, which is even more impressive when you consider that Melina Duterte wrote and recorded the whole album almost entirely by herself. The song is impeccably arranged and unfolds so perfectly. It's easily one of my favorite songs lyrically that I've heard in a long time, "Take time to figure it out / I'll be the one that sticks around" hits me so hard every single time I hear it. I've cried to this song more times than I'd like to admit, but it's also helped calm me down more times than I can count and I'm just so thankful that it exists. Also the music video might possibly be the most uplifting music video ever created. 
08. Divinity by Jelani Sei Before I go on, you all should buy this EP immediately. Trust me, it's so worth it. The first time I saw this band live I was absolutely blown away. I'd never listened to their recorded material before, but I was absolutely floored by their performance and immediately fell in love with their sound. Listening to this song on headphones is such a special experience. The production is just so creative and well executed. The actual arrangement is so groovy with so many moving parts, but that all fit together into a cohesive whole. I love this band with all my heart and can't wait for them to become huge because they truly deserve it. 
09. Gone by Queen Moo A staple of the Connecticut music scene, I've seen this band play live more than anyone else. On their sophomore album, Mean Well, they capture their own special brand of punk that twists and turns with an almost infinite amount of catchy hooks packed in. "Gone" is a highlight for me because it ebbs, flows, and builds so effortlessly both musically and lyrically. If you want a truly unique experience, treat yourself and dig into to this whole album. I promise it's worth it.
  10. Bronxville (Gasoline Fantasy) by False Priest Holy shit. This song should be a an alternative rock hit immediately. This should be blasting as you're flying down a desert highway with the setting sun as a backdrop. I'm gonna admit that I've listened to this song 10+ times in a row because it's so damn catchy. Everything is mixed perfectly with each instrument having just the right amount of punch. The lyrics deal with feelings of restlessness and that creeping feeling we all sometimes have of wanting to leave a situation, whether physically or emotionally, "A full tank of gasoline / Is really all you could need."
12. Interstate Vision by Lomelda The lyrics to this song capture something special that a lot of artists try and fail to bottle in a song. The chorus is simple, but with Hannah's vocal delivery it becomes extremely powerful, "Can you feel me now? Do you know me yet?" I feel a whole lot of random nostalgia while listening to this one. It's a magical song. 
13. Fit to Be Found by Harvey Trisdale This song is really special to me. It's the first single from my friend Jeremy's new band, who you might know as one of the songwriters in the band Furnsss (and his can't miss hit "Where Did My Pets Go?). We've been friends since 4th grade and he's one of the most talented musicians I know. Fit to Be Found is just ridiculously catchy and the dynamic builds throughout the song are perfect. Keep an eye out for the full album next year because it's going to blow you away. 
14. Jacuzzi by Cheem Bop bop bop bop this is a major bop. Cheem's sophomore LP, "Downhill," is definitely one of my favorite albums of the year. Short songs packed to the brim with an incredible amount of extremely well-executed musical ideas. The chorus of "Jacuzzi" is catchy as hell, there's an awesome musical breakdown, the two vocalists (Sam and Skye) have some amazing vocal interplay, and the production is spotless. Lyrically it hits hard because it touches on dealing with mental health while trying to maintain a relationship, "You don't even know, the pressure that keeps me so low / Hold me close, I'll float away if you let me go." 
15. Anywhere by Fuvk This song is from an album that's technically two EPs put together in one. These collections of songs are both heartbreaking. The production, especially when listened to on headphones, is all encompassing. Everything feels so close and painful words pour out over gently plucked guitars and instruments that pop in and out in these beautiful arrangements. "Anywhere" is the opener and it immediately sucks you in. It's best experienced while lying on your bed staring at the ceiling. 
16. Need to Feel Your Love by Sheer Mag How can you listen to this song without grooving to it? I love everything about this song. Hooky guitar parts, powerful vocal delivery, a sweet bass groove, and "toasty" production to tie it all together. I love the lyrics for this song because they talk about wanting, as the song title says, to actually feel the love of someone else they're interested in. Both of the people in the song have been hesitant about opening up to the possibility of truly loving again, "I've been holding back so much / But at what cost?" In the end though, the chorus rings out as a proclamation of being willing to try again after all. It's a triumphant and dangerously catchy song that stays on repeat every time I put it on. 
17. On Top by Hoops Is this a perfect dream pop song? Hell yeah it is. There's a real warmth to this production that brings the instrumental arrangement to the next level. First of all, "On Top" is ridiculously catchy, which as you can tell by now is something that I'm a sucker for. The real reason I love this song though is the lyrics because the chorus is essentially cheering you on through those hard days, "Keep your head up, you're doing fine / I know it's hard but you'll be alright." This sounds wildly cheesy, but when I'm having a bad day and I put this song on it really does help me to push through. Thanks, Hoops, for rooting for me.
