Was trying to come up with an outfit for Phoenix for the Mia Fey Trilogy AU because it’s lame if he’s just in the same outfit as Maya
Also funky tattoos because :3 I said so
Bonus: someone on YouTube asked me if I could actually draw him as Doctor Strange, so here we go

alright i’ll bite. what are your (wrong and incorrect <3) batfam hair headcanons
uhhh okso. goddamn this is gonna be long, here is a cut for your health and safety <3
bruces hair has been 100% the same 100% of his life. maybe he had it like a little longer for like a year when he was 20 but that was IT. back to default right afterwards. hes like the settings ur videogame character is on when u open up customization
dick is fortunately a bit more interesting. he had the cute floppy little boy haircut until he was in like his mid teens and then he was like imma grow it out and he did. by the time discowing era rolled around it was LONG long, and he did in fact have a short but traumatic (mainly to bruce, poor man) period with a mullet. post-discowing he figured out what to do with it and settled into a style around shoulder length with lotsa layers so it does that 80s shag surfer rockstar thing. he was later a firm supporter of the covid era shag/wolf cut revival. looks fucking stunning, no doubt he is the supermodel of the fam. chefs kiss
jasons hair is curly (!! i am very particular about this! he has curls) and was pretty short before he met bruce, for easy keeping, and that obviously all the same length sorta look where u can tell it was buzzed at some point. when he’s robin obviously hes got the heart bangs and is just adorable all around. the one thing ur right about is that it gets long when he’s in zombie mode and they shave it in the league. i think in his red hood era he learns to cut his own hair and experiments with lotsa fun stuff like punk hairstyles and shaved sides and at one point a little mini mullet which he somehow pulls off. once or twice he probably bleaches the not-white-streak parts of his hair to try to make it blend in, and goes thru all the weird growing out stages after that. its an all around fun time, and he pulls off way more weird hairstyles than he has any right to tbh
tims hair is very very straight and for most of his childhood and early teen years its in a pretty basic short sides long top sorta cut, low maintenance and fine-looking. he dyes it blue once when hes like 14 and that’s the only time he ever does anything intentional and interesting with his hair, because to him it’s pretty much just a chore. when all the red hood shit starts going down theres a period where he goes full what-is-self-care mode for, like, many months and thus his hair grows out enough for like a tiny scruffy ponytail. its like very badly taken care of tho bc my boy doesnt have TIME to shower, bruce, youre not my REAL dad. once jason and damian both mostly stop trying to murder him on sight, he starts taking care of his hair, but i firmly believe that (for a while at least) he decides not to cut it. YES long haired tim. fight me. i think it’s almost always up, in various buns and braids, and dami and the girls (steph and cass, i mean) really love it which tim finds utterly baffling. but my boy needs to be loved more. cass calls his hair beautiful and he turns into a puddle of goo and doesnt stand up for like 2 days
dami keeps his hair short (not buzzed, but short) while in the league, and when he moves to gotham there’s a period of a couple months where he decides to try to be mini bruce. but bruces hair is kinda hard to recreate and looks a bit silly on him, and also every single one of his family members wont stop MUSSING IT so eventually he gives up and learns to tolerate his normal (if spiky) tweenage hair.
steph is our token blonde but we love her. i think she was one of those girls who decided at like 9 that she wanted to grow her hair out REALLY long, and was like moderately successful at it to the chagrin of most adults in her life (because long hair is SO HIGH MAINTENANCE). not long before her tenure as robin she gets sick of it and chops it to like,,,, idk, armpit length? yeeah. and later in her teens she has a whole cycle (or two) of bangs, she flipflops like weekly on whether she likes the way bangs look on her or not. she usually does them herself, and (everyone but her knows) she rocks them every time
cass i think had longer hair when she was doing the assassin gig, mainly ao it could be tied back, but as soon as she had more agency she went “nope” and chopped it to her normal short bob and has kept it that way ever since.
the one other thing u were right about i think is that duke has had the same hair his entire life, that just sounds correct lmao
anyways thats it, totally open to debating with you but just know that i am correct <3

Spamton EX aka Devi
bkgfld;kfgdfs alright,, im posting him,, I probs forgot to re-edit and re-do some shit in the long run but if I did I’ll just,, clarify sometime later for now tho its time to stop letting my overthinking brain stop me from having fun bc Im,, genuinely proud of his design?? Felt like I was very wordy but,, I needed to be to fully describe this bastard
Anyways uh y’all finally get to see the lad!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| Name: Devi 
| Nicknames: Dev/Devs, or Evi
| Gender: He/Him
| Age: Mid 30s/40s somewhere in there
| Height: 15ft
------------------------------------------------------------------
| ‘Hair’ Color: It’s really just more fur in the shape of hair… But its color is black (he has a few gray streaks here and there, one that goes through the middle of his hair, and then gray on the sides) also his …er, fur-hair is p much a mullet
-------------------------------------------------------------------
| Eye Color: Cyber Green | he does wear the pink n yellow glasses tho and like og Spam you can see static in them sometimes, then they can go pitch black, and then the pink n yellow can swirl around but that’s uh hypnosis- don’t- don’t look at him when he’s doing this, it’s for your own good)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
| Skin Color/Body Type: He’s very large, like- he’s fat, I’ll say that- big man not only in height heh- and he’s also very strong too. Also his skin color,, well his face is p much just white but he’s got black fur going down his neck, in fact his entire body except for his arms are covered in fur.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Appearance: Oh this is going to be hell to describe but I’m gonna try my damnedest just,, bear with me p l e a s e- Okay, so I’ll start with the simplest things, he’s kind of a mixture between organic and non-organic for example his stomach, legs, and neck have the fur on it, the only difference is uh the neck fur that also goes up to his head and acts like a mullet was dyed black and the fluff all over his stomach and legs is white.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
His chest is just essentially like Sneo chestplate- which is where his arms come out of, and also in the middle of the chestplate is basically just a fucking b i g compartment like thingy, you can see the big heart behind glass almost like a display case situation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(the heart’s blue like all of them are, it’s got darker blue cracks, then its eyes are a swirling mix of Pink n Yellow, neon to be more specific, even its mouth is neon yellow and it’s got razor sharp teeth, pointed nose, ya know the usual) The chestplate is like weirdly,, built ONTO his body.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I forgot gjhfkdgfjd the BIG heart is what you mainly see but in the back you can see about mm six sets of eyes and grins both on the left and right side of the main heart (Seven heart creatures in total if you include the main one)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Then he wears a bright pink peacoat that he usually keeps unbuttoned around his chest (don’t wanna cover up the heart…s also don’t ask me how he gets it over the big shoulder pads that extend from the chestplate he just does)
------------------------------------------------------------------
He wears pink and yellow pants over his legs (his face is just,, ya know, the puppet part …he's a weird lil freak to describe and also his hands are technically the puppet part as well but I’ll explain those in a bit)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I should also say that his arms can stretch almost in a cartoony manner …But they do have their limits of course and finally he wears a pink high heel on the right foot and a yellow high heel on the left foot (the heels stretch all the way up to his knees btw)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
God,, the details are gonna be the death of me but I’m trying my best to explain what the fuck is in my head right now- Okay so uh, onto something I can actually handle, his right arm can actually slip back into the chestplate and then somehow change into the canon arm that Sneo has.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His hands like I said are also the puppet parts much like his face, his fingers are just straight up claws, he has two sets of fangs both top and bottom (his teeth can retract though, otherwise he looks uh WAY more unapproachable and less friendly, can’t scare the customers off now can he?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
He has a long tongue that’s prehensile (he can fuckin grab and hold shit with that thing, does it mostly just to be a lil shit and gross some people out) also has p much a five o’clock shadow on his face …I don’t care that he’s got a puppet face, mans got FACIAL HAIR and thats final-
------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw Idk if I said this bc I’ve been all over the place but uh that lil glass holding the heart inside that compartment thingy,, uh it can open btw (Devi keeps it STRICTLY closed unless he needs some reinforcements to help him take care of someone that screwed him over or some shit but other than that, those things seem to have minds of their own.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
They can be the most dangerous thing that I’d say Devi has bc those things will just bite or try to tear someone apart for no reason, Devi does have his ways of getting them to stop though, he threatens to button up his coat and cover them up which they seem to hate.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Devi also has some really thick and large black eyebrows too (...its funny bc I think of that one audio where its like ‘what the hell are you doing’ ‘i am doing my eyebrows’ ‘that’s a big ass mirror’ ‘well I have BIG ASS EYEBROWS’) motherfuckers like damn caterpillars on his face
---------------------------------------------------------------
I had another outfit idea for him and I am NOT going back to re-edit this shit, its already a fucking mess and I just hope you can understand this shit tbh I’m all over the place and I REALLY don’t mean to be I’m just trying to describe what my brain sees
-----------------------------------------------------------------
but the other outfit fits more with his computer vibes, and I might just state it here that this is his main outfit and the other is a secondary outfit, he likes to match his aesthetics ya know- but anyways- it's just like a long black coat with 1s and 0s on it and then neon cyber green pants and of course heels to match that outfit (one black, one neon cyber green)
----------------------------------------------------------------
| Personality: Devi can be a gross bastard and sometimes be a bit of an asshole but deep down, when you get past his big shot, his hot shot attitude, that HUGE ego of his he’s actually very sweet, kind, and caring (if you can put up with his ego AND the bit of a God Complex he’s got) out of ALL the EXs out there, he is by far the LEAST murderous.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m not saying he won’t hurt or kill because he ABSOLUTELY will if it means defending himself and or if you screw with him, you screw him over and he won’t hesitate to pull out that canon arm or better yet, let those feral lil hearts of his out to ‘play’ heh, he’s a scammer, a con artist who runs a PC Shop/Fixes up PCs for people essentially, he usually ‘fixes’ their PCs if ya know what I mean. (He doesn’t do it too much or to the same person of course, can’t let ‘em catch on ya know?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
He also builds ‘em, he KNOWS the ins and outs of a computer v e r y damn well, he’s the most skilled in his area and the one everyone HAS to come to, even if they are intimidated by his height alone (...not the only thing SOME are intimidated by but uh, I have to keep that info redacted) he’s a HUGE flirt, he flirts with anyone and everyone (unless they tell him to stop, he respects those kinds of boundaries ya know?)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
He can’t take any flirting, compliments, etc thrown back though if he loves said person that he’s flirting with, with anyone else he can p much just laugh and say something along the lines of “OH YA W I S H YOU COULD BE WITH A REAL [[BIG SHOT]] LIKE ME DON’T’CHA, BABES~?” but if it's the one he fell in love with? He will fucking MELT, his face will turn bright red and you’ll see him let off steam, no- literally- like one of those funky lil cartoons.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Another way to tell he’s sweet on ya is if he actually fixes your PC and nothing goes wrong with it, like if he actually fixes it- And hell, he’ll even do something he’d NEVER do for just anyone 1: Either give you an actual discount or 2: literally if he sees your PC is a bit… Outta style, outta date- with your approval of course he will genuinely build you a new computer, free of charge and don’t worry about any files from your old, he’ll take care of it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Devi might be an asshole who needs vibes checked but, deep down he’s good, he really is sweet, caring- and if he loves you, hell even if he just likes ya well enough to be pals, friends- well you’re in good hands for sure, he’ll treat you well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Side Facts: Devi loves to make games and or SFM type animations in his spare time but shares his work with nobody, he’s actually very self conscious of his work so if he does share it with you? Friend or Lover? That is an INCREDIBLE amount of trust he has for you and that’s a very rare thing bc Devi doesn’t trust mm many,, at all- Has his fears and anxieties, doesn’t seem to like the subject of betrayal or anything like that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
…Don’t mention the Addisons around him btw, he’ll get REALLY angry and pissy, if your his friend/lover he’ll TRY to keep cool but if you keep pushing his buttons well he might snap at you anyways but for the most part he’ll just be like
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“SWEET’EART… [P l e a s e  S t o p] BRINGIN’ THAT UP… BRINGING… [T h e m] UP, I DON’T WANNA TALK ‘BOUT ‘EM” he’ll try to ask nicely and politely for ya to stop, its best to leave well enough alone ya know? …Very specifically,, uh- He gets WAY more angry if Pink’s brought up but he seems less angry if Blue’s brought up, maybe even a lil… Sad.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Devi’s fave kinda games to make are open world sandbox-esque games, rhythm games, and even platformers, he loves to play games too, especially classic games- …Also he makes mods for games out there too (he’s got an account that doesn’t link to him at all, he wants to make sure nobody finds that out) but here’s where the lil shit side of him comes to play (cause he is such a fucking shithead) he can make genuine mods.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like GENUINELY good mods for games but then he can make the most cursed and stupidest shit, like think of that Stardew mod, the grandpa IS the bed mod- yeah, shit like that to make people just go wtf, w h y? For WHAT reason? …Hell, he’ll even mod rhythm sections into games that REALLY don’t need them at all, and he WON’T make them optional (and he even adds cryptic titles to some of his mods just like ‘Have fun ;)’
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Devi is very touch starved tbh, he loves to give and receive affection from the beloved, he loves belly rubs (not,, in a weird sorta way) it just feels nice on his fluff ya know? Hell he likes being petted, scritches, etc- He might crush you in a hug if not careful though, gotta give him a gentle reminder bout them hugs...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cause sometimes he forgets how strong he REALLY can be compared to most Darkners and Lightners, also if he doesn’t crush you, you’ll sink into that plush fur of his (DON’T SUCCUMB TO THE FLUFF, DON’T SUCCUMB TO THE FLUFF, WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T SINK IN, YOU’LL BE LOST FOREVER)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Devi loves to cuddle very much so, will place you on his stomach if you two fall asleep together, doesn’t trust himself if you just lay beside him to not roll over and he would be fucking DEVASTATED if he crushed you or hurt you, he’d never forgive himself…
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Also whenever Devi grins, his teeth tend to pop out- it’s something he can’t help so just keep that in mind if ya hear a strange noise from him but also if you don’t mind them, if you’re not scared of his fangs n shit he’ll let them stay out regardless around you (lmao look at this how to train your dragon lookin ass)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Devi is Pansexual, doesn’t care about gender, if he loves ya- he loves ya, wants to marry you? Y e s, gender is a irrelevant to him in these regards, love is love-
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Devs can be VERY overprotective and if you need him to, just say the word- he’ll kill for ya- like when I say LEAST murderous EX I mean in the fact that he doesn’t kill for FUN, he doesn’t get any joy or fun outta killing or anything like that- but if someone’s messing with ya? “Well don’t ya [Why Worry?!] sweet’eart, Devi’ll [Takin’ care of business] for ya!” …You don’t want him to? Okay, he’ll back off as per your want …But, uh behind your back or when you’re not looking he’ll scare the shit out of them at the VERY least (it depends on what they did…)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
And if they did or said some real bad shit? …Well there’ll be some missing posters around but he’ll deny he had anything to do with that, he does this out of love- I swear, he’s just very overprotective and wants to keep you safe and sound and it means bustin’ a few heads? ...Well he won’t hesitate ...Bitch.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw the hearts, the big heart and then the six little ones- feral as shit, rip and t e a r!!! They are the most bloodthirsty part but they are sentient, their own beings in a weird sorta way- or at least, they have their own mind- Devi makes sure they don’t get outta hand though, he threatens to button up his coat and block their view of the outside world …Which they take seriously, almost seeming scared even.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether it be friends or lovers- the hearts will be more okay with you if a friend, they’ll get along with you just like Devi does, if lovers (in fact you’ll notice if their out, they’ll blush along with him) granted he’ll be EXTREMELY nervous and absolutely refusing if you want him to let them out to get a better look at them, he’ll try to work around it, make some kinda, ANY kinda deal, but eventually he’ll relent if your persistent- but to his surprise they won’t hurt you at all.
------------------------------------------------------------------
In fact, they’ll even wrap around you which scares the shit out of Devi the first time around and he almost tries to grab them and shove them back in before he notices their not hurting you, they are just giving you gentle nose nuzzles and making little kissy sounds at you which surprises the absolute hell out of him, he’s only EVER seen those lil shitheads be aggressive n mean.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Only downside is they’ll be v e r y aggressive and possessive with anyone else who tries to get close to you, they’ll hiss and or growl or even snarl. …Devi will try to keep them sorted out though (even tho technically speaking he does get a wee bit jealous and protective if he sees someone getting too close to you for his liking)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Likewise, Devi does get jealous, oh he does even though he’ll deny it and take that denial to his fucking grave, he just doesn’t like anyone that he deems getting a bit too close to you for comfort but likewise if you tell him to relax and or to back off, he will stop, he doesn’t wanna upset ya or anything like that (its not that he doesn’t trust you or some weird shit like that, it actually just plays into a fear/insecurity of his so OOF)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Btw,, I forgot to add, he has another pair of glasses aside from the Pink n Yellow ones that he’ll usually wear to match his computery-esque outfit, it's a pair of Black n Green tinted cat eye sunglasses.
---------------------------------------------------------
Also bc I cut a lotta shit out of this version that I didn’t feel comfy with sharing,, I think I forgot to add his lil tail in? A fluffy stubby tail that he has, he doesn’t like letting anyone see it, cause he ain’t cute! He’s big n tough, and he’ll kick your ass ...(not really) there’s a lotta shit that got cut out and just edited down to keep it as simple as I could.
-------------------------------------------------------
Idk if I added this, sorry if I add more of the same shit in I just don’t fully remember what shit I cut out and didn’t but Devi does v e r y much love his cigars, he smokes not only to help calm his nerves but also just smokes because he enjoys it, also enjoys being a goddamn asshole and blowing smoke in people’s faces ...Sometimes.
-------------------------------------------------------
Devi’s shop is of course located in Cyber City (I do not have a name for his funky lil pc shop or anything, listen y’all I am s o bad with naming things, im very lucky my EX got an actual name)
------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of EXs, Devi has never canonically met another EX but he knows there’s others like him out there, he does know they exist, he’s never gotten the chance to meet one but he’s neutral on the matter, if he meets one he does, if he doesn’t, oh well ....Secretly thinks about what that’d be like and just how weird it’d be to see another EX.

WayV as Water Park Employees
Tumblr media
Warnings: none? I can’t believe it
AN: hey....hi....how y’all doin.....I meant to post this so long ago but I kept loosing inspiration for it :(( thank you to everyone for being so patient. I hope you enjoy this fun little headcannon!
Tumblr media
Kun is definitely the head lifeguard
though he hasn’t been there as long as Ten, he does make up for it in his dedication to the job
It’s not that he’s uptight, but the other employees are a little too relaxed for his taste, so he’s usually the one in charge (which is fine by Ten who prefers to relax by the lazy river)
His job mainly consists of walking around the park, making sure the rides are working, checking in with employees to make sure they’ve been drinking water and applying sunscreen, and helping guests whenever possible
Since is aura is so adult, he is easily trusted by everyone
This means that if a child is lost, they’ll most likely walk right past the other lifeguards and into Kun’s arms
(Which he’ll never admit out loud but it made him feel very wanted. And the look on Lucas’s face as they walk right past him is always priceless)
Though he does get sad when he hears people remark how mean and no fun he is, he knows that without him the park would be in shambles
The other members of the park thankfully know him well enough that they can tell when he’s feeling a bit down. On those days, the make sure to be good around with him, hype him up, and generally raise his mood
He’s always thankful on those days for his park family (though he could go without Hendery shouting that he has a nice ass over the megaphone), and repays them tenfold by carrying extra supplies with him
(In a fanny pack that YangYang got him as a joke that he didn’t understand and wears unironically everywhere)
This includes sunscreen, lip balm, eye drops, and ear cleanser
He values skin protection, so you’ll rarely see him without his job issued visor (the band basically gets hidden under his floppy hair)
Always wears the assigned uniform of red shorts and a white shirt with the park logo on it, his lanyard with a whistle and his keycard on it (which is hooked on by a safety clip so it’ll never strangle him), and some beat-up flip flops he’s had since forever
Ten works the lazy river
Ten is...well, let’s just say he’s a complicated character
Though Kun doesn’t doubt that Ten has the skill to step up and take charge
Ten just doesn’t have the drive to
He’s worked at the park for longer than anyone, but only because he started so young and just kept coming back after school ended
He started off being the Kun type, who looks so intimidating with his clipboard and yelling at people not to run
But that just got...exhausting
He hated being the bad guy
Kids would cry for being yelled at, parents would be upset at his words no matter what he said (company policy or his own), or older people would demand he brings them all types of crazy items (from sunscreen to a new section of the park)
He was just so...tired
What was the point of working at the Water Park, a place designed to be fun, if he hated every second of it
So, when Kun arrived at his interview in a button-up and a glittering watch, Ten threw his clipboard aside and requested to move to the Lazy River
Best. Choice. Ever
The water is too shallow for anyone to drown and too slow for kids to make a ruckus
Mainly, his job consists of lounging on his lifeguard tower, reading a book and softly playing music from the speaker he snuck up there
Sometimes, if the days are really slow, Ten steals an intertube and floats along the river for hours (until Kun yells at him to return to his position)
He doesn’t like kids so much, so most of his interactions with the guests are when he gets to join this one group of older ladies who frequent the park, linking up tubes so the can all chat and float together
(Ten has the hottest gossip in town)
Though he does like to push policy, he will wear the red shorts of the uniform (he claims they make his butt look good), but his top will rarely be the issued one
Depending on who he sees at the park, Ten could show up in a mismatched T-shirt and flip flop combo, or a nice swim shirt that defines his chest
(Lucas is always amazed that Ten always knows what days to look good because cute guests, and no one has the heart to tell him Ten packs both options in his bag)
Sicheng works the wave pool
Though newer to the team, Sicheng has almost more experience that Ten because he used to work at a different Water Park
When he moved, he figured he already had the experience, so why not go for the same job
At first, Sicheng was intimidating
He rarely talked to anyone besides Kun, and even then it was all professional
He almost looked scary sitting on the lifeguard tower, sweeping his eyes over the people below him
The first ice breaker was when he rescued a drowning woman, pulling her to safety and giving her CPR
Though the team was intimidated by him, the did admit that looked cool as heck
So, slowly, they started to talk to him more
And more
And more until finally, Sicheng was the one to start conversations and openly laugh at jokes
Turns out, he just likes to be razor focused when working so that he can ensure no one gets hurt
(After all, the Wave Pool is the chaos zone)
And it only made the team admire him more
He doesn’t like to wear hats because they always get lost when he has to dive in, so Kun installed an umbrella for his chair
(that act of kindness brought a blush to his cheeks, and he was teased for it the rest of the day)
He’s the type to wear sunscreen in an almost comical fashion - two thick lines under his eyes are always heavy with it
Even though he looks like an idiot, it’s endearing and makes his already large group of admirers like him even more
While he does wear the uniform, he prefers the wet shoe to sandal, and always takes off his lanyard when he’s on duty (which means he always has to make trips back to his chair to retrieve it later)
Lucas works in the Kids Zone
This one should be no surprise
Lucas is a giant kid himself, so it was a no brainer when he was hired that he should work amongst kids
That and the fact that he is so tall he can easily rescue the kids should they climb too high on the play structure and get scared
Sometimes his height works against him, bonking his head as he tries to duck and weave through the elaborate play structure
And sometimes there are kids who get scared of him at first
But his happy personality and goofy nature usually work to calm the child and get them to trust him
(though this personality is why kids will run right past him to get help from Kun)
He isn’t too great in high stakes situations, as his worry for the kids sometimes overtakes his training, but he does have a standard procedure during this time
Blowing on his whistle three times in succession will have either Ten or Kun running over, taking over the situation while Lucas tries to calm the parents
He does have a steady group of followers who admire him, both young and older
The same group of kids can always be found scurrying around him, jumping on him, and playing with him
Sometimes the sides of the Kids Zone will be full of teenagers, just waiting for a moment to chat him up during his downtime
(though they’re usually disappointed because Lucas’s energy and stamina is ridiculous)
At first he was given the standard white top but poor baby was getting uncomfortable with all the staring so Kun got red shirts and white shorts for him to wear
Never wears his lanyard because he’s worried one of the kids will accidentally get hurt if it swings and hits them
His feet are always covered in electric green water shoes that his Mom got him, and usually his neck has long streaks of white sunscreen (bc he gets too excited about being in the water again he doesn’t take the time to rub it in)
Xiaojun works at the concession stand
Don’t get him wrong, Xiaojun absolutely loves water
The only thing is...he’s not a super huge fan of chlorinated water
He could spend hours upon hours at the beach just surfing up some waves and relaxing in the beach
Unfortunately, the nearest beach is over an hour away and he can’t justify going back and forth each day to work
(trust me, he tried. He loved working at the boardwalk but his old hand-me-down car just gave up on him and the bus doesn’t come frequently enough to take him down there)
So, he takes the next best thing
The concession stand is perfectly situated to where he can see everyone enjoying the water without it reflecting blinding sunlight into the booth
The shop is also air conditioned which is perfect for the blazing hot days of summer
His manager is a kid only a few years older than him that should be working in the office but will typically spend all day playing video games
Because of this, Xiaojun can practically get away with anything, including sneaking off during the down hours to hang out with one of his friends or giving them more than their allotted snack coupons can yet
Although he may look a little shy, Xiaojun is VERY good at his job
A customer will walk up only wanting a bottle of water and walk away with four hot dogs, a large soda, and novelty cup from the park
No one really knows how he does it - but YangYang likes to joke that his eyebrows hypnotize the customers into buying anything he says
He doesn’t wear the standard uniform, unfortunately
He can wear pretty much anything he wants, but he has to wear a bright blue apron with the park logo and slogan on it and the matching hat
(you bet your ass he’s wearing some cargo shorts)
Hendery alternates between the two-seater and single rider slides
Listen
The best part of Water Parks have always been the rides that whip you so hard and fast that by the time you reach the bottom the tube has come out from under you and your bathing suit has given you the tightest wedgie of your life
At least, that’s what Hendery thinks
So it was absolutely no surprise that when he was asked where he wanted to work at the park, he said the inner tube rides
Whether pushing people in or helping them out, he absolutely loves the job
At first, he was a little jealous
A “I wish I could be going on the rides” type of harmless jealousy
But it was only as the weeks went on that he realized that just seeing and interacting with the different types of riders made it so much fun!
Talking to the scaredy cats to help them calm down, assuring parents that the rides are safe, couples telling him about their date night, high fiving the kids who just keep coming back for more
It’s so unlike any job he’s ever worked before
Although he might not get to hang out with his friends and goof off as much as he likes, there’s a certain proud feeling of responsibility that makes those not so great moments better
He’s also the type of person who finds joy in the little things so even though his personality is more on the shy side with new people, he has that type of aura that somehow convinces other people to do all the talking and they leave new friends
Unfortunately…he’s also the forgetful type
Always forgets to bring his uniform shirt to work or gets it mixed up with one of his hundred other white shirt
Kun used to make his wear the rashguard of shame (the only item left from the old branding) but now he just makes sure to keep a pile of spares on hand
He’s also the most likely to have a sunburn by the end of the day if the older boys don’t keep an eye out for him
YangYang alternates between the group rides, and the kiddie slides
YangYang is many things, but the word most people like to use is versatile
He picks up new things very quickly and adapts to new situations with the ease of a veteran
Although he’s the youngest, the people around him put a lot of trust in him and his abilities 
(which sometimes stresses him out to the point that he bottles up his emotions until he ends up crying in the locker room during his breaks. His friends have gotten really good at noticing when he’s at his breaking point and will quickly get him away from the situation. It’s really the only moment of vulnerability they see from the usually happy-go-lucky boy)
This trust somehow got him working various stations across the park, and he’ll move pretty much wherever people need him
He’s currently working the group rides and kiddie slides, which is the craziest juxtaposition
His mornings involve splashing around near Lucas in the Kids Zone, helping kids through the various short slides for them to play with
After his lunch break, usually involved with hanging around with Xiaojun and his other friend who shares the same lunch break that day (M = Kun, Tu = Ten, W = Hendery + Sicheng, Th = Ten + Lucas, F = Lucas, Sat = Hendery + Lucas + Kun, Sun = Ten + Hendery), he’ll head over to the group ride, usually filing drunk adults into rafts and gently declining their offers of drinks
He loves the weird combinations of his day, and the new adventure that come when Kun calls him to the office to give him his new responsibilities
He likes to play the younger brother character that his friends have given him because it allows him to pull mischievous pranks with little to no repercussions
It’s not unusual for people to see him being chased around the park by his friends, big smiles across his face as he laughs with the biggest smile
It does sometimes give guests whiplash when they watch him shoot a fellow lifeguard with a water gun then five minutes later watch him give safety instructions with a serious expression
Unlike his playful personality may suggest, he takes his job really serious - especially because people’s lives are on the line
He always wear a clean uniform, including his lanyard with an embarrassing picture of his ID swinging from his neck
And only grimaces a little when Kun grabs his face to slather it in sunscreen

and my final piece so far for @geekinthecorner‘s @batfam-big-bang fic Bats Of The West, it’s Jason Todd! ngl i think this is one of the ones i had the most fun with, and also the one i crammed the most details into that no one but me will ever know exist, but i’ll share a few of them under the cut, along with the image description. plus, a list of all of Jason’s scars in this au, and how he got them.
also, like i said, this is my final piece so far but i fully intend to come back and round out the batfam, draw all the other characters i havent had a chance to get to yet, so keep an eye out for that, and in the meantime here’s some fun facts!
alright so. first off, just some general overall thoughts on Jason and some of the details i added here.
 his gun in the first pic is super expensive and pretty, but i imagine he doesnt use is as often as some of his other ones, simply because when he’s out in The Wilderness tracking down criminals for weeks on end, it’s not really the kind of place you want to bring your prettiest, most expensive gun. when he’s on the ranch or in town tho, or really just anywhere where he doesnt anticipate needing to rough it for more than a couple days (which isnt the same as not expecting the need to get rough), he’s probably got this gun.
his gun belt and holster are a whole other story tho. he spent exactly zero dollars and zero cents on them, just assembled them from some spare leather they had lying around, which is why theyre in such Not Great condition, and also why the belt itself ended up so long. he could cut it down to a more reasonable size, but it’s not like there’s anything else he could make from those scraps anyways, so why bother.
that big gun in the second image isn’t technically his tho, it’s the Communal Ranch Rifle. mainly it’s just used to scare away coyotes (or, yknow, actually hit coyotes) but it does occasionally see real action as well, tho not often.
also. does it even need to be said? his hat.. holder... bead... thing. with the turquoise inlay. is a gift from Dick
alright and now the fun part! i go through all of jason’s scars, and how he got them. there are quite a few and a lot of them are. Sad. so be warned, and take care of yourselves! (also just for the record, i promise the fic itself isnt actually as dark as this will make it sound. basically none of this shows up in the story, i was just given free reign to design whatever i wanted, and poor jason ended up paying the price)
ok so. scars. 
first off, the claw and bit marks on his arms and shoulders are from getting attacked by some coyotes back when he was still just a kid. to quote my explanation back when i pitched this to Em, “bc as a Young Human with minimal supervision and not necessarily having someone to call him inside once it gets dark, he was unfortunately Very Delicious, if somewhat scrawny, by coyote standards”
next up: a bullet scar on his abdomen, on his lower left side (our right), from some kind of shootout with a criminal. this one is middling-recent; after bruce adopted him, but before the joker thing. i dont really have anything concrete for that one but it was a through and through, and somehow, miraculously, missed hitting any bones, and any organs. just missed his lower rib by like. an inch. that one messed bruce up more than jason, honestly. if anything, he was just surprised it took him that long to get shot, with the life he's had
the ones on his cheek and on his chin were just Regular Childhood Shenanigans scars, no real story.
the one through his mouth is from his time with the joker though. there's also the J brand on his right bicep, also from the joker.
also joker related, hes got a lot of scars on his hands, especially his knuckles and fingertips, from trying to fight his way out of his captivity, and scratching his fingers raw trying to pry open the door to his cell/untie the rough rope he way tied with/whatever the specific situation was. also some minor rope burn scars on his wrists from the same deal.
also some blade scars across his palms from trying to stop/block knives. definitely with the joker, but probably at some point in his youth as well
a few faint lines across his neck from being a temporary hostage a few time while helping Bruce on cases when he was younger, but none of them ever went deep or caused any serious damage
oh and also, whip scars on his back from his time with the joker, which arent too prominent, and mostly cant be seen from the front, except for a couple of spots where they crest over his shoulders and the very tail ends of them can be seen, but they’re there 
and also some kind of straight scar on his left forearm, which was a carry-over from my usual Jason design, that i like but dont really have a story for, so that one’s purely aesthetic, lol
and that’s it! i think? that’s all my notes on that? either way this post is getting Way Too Long, and i still gotta do the image descriptions, so i’m calling it there. 
[IMAGE ID: two images of Jason Todd in old-fashioned cowboy clothing. He has red, curly hair with a streak of white running through it at the front. his skin is pale but sunburnt, has deep-blue eyes, many freckles both on his face and on the rest of his exposed skin, and his body is broad and muscular, and he has many scars. he has small round metal piercings in the lobes of both ears, as well as an additional two in the top cartilege of his right ear.
in the first image, he is facing directly at the viewer with his arms crossed, and a challenging look on his face. he is wearing a maroon cowboy shirt with checkered red accent at the chest and the sleeves rolled up to his upper arms. he has a dark blue polka-dot bandana tied around his neck, and over that pass two strands of red braided cord holding his tan cowboy hat, which is visible hanging off his neck behind him. the cords are tipped with small metal beads, and pass through a large, dark brown wooden bead inset with turquoise, which regulates their length. he is wearing dark-wash blue jeans with prominent yellow stitching, pulled over his cowboy boots up to the ankle until only the foot of each boot is visible. the boots are dark brown with pale seams and red stitching, and light brown heels and soles. fastened around each boot are embossed red spur-straps, with metal spurs extending from them behind the boots. at his waist are two cracked leather belts. one is dark brown, with a pale silver buckle stamped with vine designs, and it is threaded through his belt loops. the second belt is hanging diagonally over his hips and holds his gun and holster. this belt is a reddish tan with a pattern of darker brown, overlapping rings down its length, and has a darker silver buckle. it is long enough that the loose end of it wraps back around itself several times before hanging down. the holster is simple brown leather folded over the gun, with two straps to tighten it. the gun itself is an ornate and expensive-looking revolver, black metal with intricate gold detailing and a mother-of-pearl grip.
in the second image, he is facing slightly to the side, with a long shotgun propped over his shoulder with one hand and an unimpressed expression on his face as he looks somewhere to the right of the viewer. he is shirtless, and his torso is muscled, stocky, and as sunburned and freckled as the rest of him. his cowboy hat is hanging off his neck again behind him, once more held in place by the braided red cord and round wood-and-turquoise bead. he is wearing tan, high-waisted pants tucked into his cowboy boots, which are the same as in the first image but now fully visible, with red pulls at the top. the pants are attached to red suspenders, though they are not on his shoulders and hang down around him instead. his gunbelt is once more around his hips, but the holster is obscured behind him, and isn't visible. the hand not holding the shotgun is down loosely at his side, and has a red and white bandana wrapped around the wrist.

I'm feeling better so I'll continue a little with info on unwritten au and the ninja
Cole
The oldest of the gang at 24 years old
Ran away from home when he was 14 to forge his own path, met with a weird old guy who taught him how to defend himself in exchange for tea
Had a near death experience that left weird green scars on his body and face
Rare to see him without some sort of sunglasses
Has a pair of scythes that he uses to scare would be muggers (and also helps him get things off shelves he cant reach)
Lloyd
As established he's babey, but the truth is that he's like 16 and just really short
Doesn't talk much and as a result his voice sounds like he's been punched in the throat
Has yet to figure out how to speak the same language as everyone else and it drives him insane, but he does understand what they are saying through context and body language
Second most likely to kill a man
Kei
Master of Good Luck and knows it
Looked like Kai to a ridiculous degree for a long time before she decided enough was enough and changed her look enough to distinguish herself (it still happens occasionally)
Has a twin sister named Aria who masters bad luck, they cancel out when their next to each other
Loves to play with kids and made quick friends with Lloyd
Second oldest at 23
Actually has trained to be a ninja before going with her sister to find Malice, and knows how to get information the "hard" way
Generally a nice person but has limits that only a few people have reached
Like her sister she has a degree of control of both kinds of luck, but mainly doesnt use the bad luck side of her powers
Has a pair of dice and a pair of swords, hopefully you have better luck with the dice or get diced
Ice Angel
A mysterious hero that no one is really close to figuring out
The only known fact is the ice powers, that they're on the side of the people, and they're not human
Goes by they/he/she
Their voice is a mixture of both masculine and feminine
Wears a lot of white and teal
Arch Enemy of the Morro Dragon, Anacondrai Cultists, and Sons of Garmadon
Refuses to have their picture taken and is one of the few things they will call people out on (other than bad behavior)
Kai
Orphaned at the ripe old age of 9
Wears dresses and other female oriented clothes and refuses to stop (the exception being when it's impractical to do so)
A good big brother and substitute parent to his baby sister
Dropped out of school at 13 so he could care for his sister 24/7 and not deal with the bitch of a baby sitter
Is being educated by Zane on what he missed in school for 7 years and is learning quickly
Has a game with Nya on who can make the disaster bi known as Jay blush first, so far he's winning
Finds the resemblance to Kei hilarious and has even convinced her to go as him for Halloween while he went as her
Still sour that his little sister is taller than him
Is aware of his fire powers but still prefers the good old hairspray and lighter combo due to the sheer chaotic energy
Nya
Was 7 when she was orphaned
When she found out Kai ditched school for her she scolded him for a solid 3 hours
Somehow befriended the Gordon kid while she was out playing and they've been friends ever since
Might end you if prompted
Obsessed with Ice Angel and gets with Jay everyday after classes to figure them out
Doesn't like her hair long due to having it pulled a lot when she was younger, very occasionally she'll grow it out
Despite not looking like she can she could twist you into a pretzal
Indulges Lloyd's desire to be thrown at soft surfaces
Speaking of which, she became his teacher in how to speak the language in Ninjago City while he taught her some dragon
Speaks with her hands a lot
Dyed a purple streak into her hair and it drives her brother crazy
Jay
Had celebrity parents and won't let anyone forget it
Tried to be an actor like his birth dad but couldnt deal with all the lights and sounds
Got adopted by a nice couple at a scrapyard and is embarrassed by it (not to the point of ungratefullness)
Kept the surname Gordon instead of Walker because he wants to remember his birth parents
Has adhd but is unmedicated for personal reasons (that being he has had bad history with medication)
Needs to go to therapy
Puts up a bratty, self-centered, "alpha bitch" persona to hide himself
After the event that left his parents dead he found out he's losing sight in his left eye
Is actually very insecure and uses other guys and gals fawning over him to avoid the problem (this causes more problems)
Found a friend in Nya, Kai, and Zane due to similar backgrounds and experiences. Has yet to befriend Cole due to personality clash
Has a bad case of Baby Face, looks much younger but is actually 24 like Cole (This causes much more problems)
Is openly Bi and Trans and refuses to let anyone step on him for it and unintentionally caused the younger lgbtqia+ students to flock to him. He doesn't mind this and will defend them to the death
A hardcore Ice Angel fanboy, would probably die on the spot if he met them
Has made friends with Kei's twin sister Aria and somehow manages to avoid the bad luck from it despite her admitting that she isn't reflecting it or surpressing it at all
Has a pocket knife for emergencies (thankfully unused)
Zane
An android with self esteem issues
Tutors Kai (and occasionally Cole) in school subjects and plans to get a job in education
Playfully debates Ice Angel with Jay and Nya
Wears a black scarf that has seen better days. He got it from his dad before he passed
The tallest member and the only one who can legally drive
The only one who can cook but can't bake for shit
When it came out that he was an android he was initally terrified of possible mistreatment but the worst he's dealt with is people claiming he's cheating during gym or tests (which has been dealt with)
Claims to have a girlfriend on the opposite side of the continent, and he does but obviously no one is going to believe it without proof
Usually seen with a small crowd of overheated classmates during hot days (the only issue being the amount of them)
Despite being metal, he's surprisingly squishy and besides obvious signs of robotics, looks very human
Will call you a two timing back stabbing bitch in the nicest way possible
Morro
A dragon hybrid gone haywire
Will call you a two timing back stabbing bitch in the most blunt way possible
After everything he's been through its a miracle he's not dead
Dramatic and focuses just as much on presentation as he does on anything else
Would sell you to the Preeminent for half a hot dog
Rancid Little Rat Man
Secretly crushing on Ice Angel and commits petty crimes to get their attention
Somehow one of the few people trusted with their true identity
Behavior suggests that he's looking for something
The mere presence of Kei or Aria sets him off
Lives with Ronin bc the alternative is the sewers

HELLO loves ! admin bee here with ALL THREE of my lil angels ! i was gonna do ‘em separate but . . . lazy. anyway ! give this a lil like if you’d be interested in plotting with declan , son of peter pan / acelin , son of hades / or astrid , daughter of elsa ! apparently we love a single parent fam in this house.  
Tumblr media
diego tinoco. twenty-one. cis male. her/him. one sibling. ––– hey , there’s DECLAN ‘DEX’ PAN from AURADON walking past the castle. they’re the YOUNGEST ADOPTIVE child of PETER PAN , isn’t that cool ? talk says they can be pretty - FATUOUS , but don’t let that worry you – they can be + AMIABLE too. say , don’t you think they remind you of SMIRKING YOUR WAY OUT OF AN ARGUMENT , THE SOFT SOUND OF PIPE INSTRUMENT , TRYING NEW THINGS REGARDLESS OF LEGALITY , or is that just me ?
Tumblr media
BASICS ON DECLAN ‘ DEX ’ PAN ! 
full name : declan fox pan.
nicknames : dex , fox.
parent : peter pan , adopted. 
orientation : bisexual , biromantic. 
FAMILY.
so ! i imagine that , at some point , peter has to grow up and he has a hard time with it. it takes him a while to fully grow & mature , though he never quite loses his childish charm.
as peter is aging , i imagine that he decided he still wants company of his lost boys , so he adopts two of them ; declan and his older adoptive sibling. i feel like as peter aged , the lost boys found their way on their own but dex & his now brother kinda stuck together around peter.
i did put a wc up for his brother , u know , *wiggles eyebrows* just in case anyones tempted
anyway ! dex is super close with his dad & brother and enjoys their life in auradon 
BACKGROUND.
dex grew up in auradon and was always the one known for getting in trouble.
he’s suave , charming , sneaky , and definitely a tad blunt depending on the situation he’s in.
he can talk himself out of pretty much any mildly bad situation. caught stealing ? he has an excuse for that. caught somewhere off limits ? he was lost. 
definitely a bit childish , loves telling jokes , playing pranks , and doesn’t take a whole lot seriously. 
a huge , huge flirt but flirts with literally no intentions. he just likes complimenting people.
he has a huge heart but he doesn’t really know how to use it properly.
so , incredibly honest and not afraid to hurt feelings. it doesn’t really effect him all that much when he upsets someone , he would rather just be honest than worry about others feelings. 
i am fully convinced he’s , somehow , snuck over to the isle to meet the isle kids. pls give me a lil hookup w/ a vk , i would cry.
you can find declan’s wanted connections here ! 
dove cameron. twenty. cis female. she/her. two sibs. ––– hey , there's ASTRID ERIKSEN from AURADON walking past the castle. they’re the YOUNGEST child of ELSA , isn’t that cool ? talk says they can be pretty - SECLUDED , but don’t let that worry you – they can be + REGAL too. say , don’t you think they remind you of ICY WHITE LOCKS TIPPED WITH BLUE , PERFECTLY MANICURED NAILS , & THE SOUND OF CRACKING ICE , or is that just me ?
Tumblr media
BASICS ON ASTRID ERIKSEN !
full name : astrid emilie eriksen. 
nicknames : emmy ( family )
parent : elsa , unknown father.
orientation : bisexual , biromantic.
FAMILY.
okie doke so astrid is the daughter of ELSA & an unknown father. i do feel like he is known , but him and elsa never lasted together and she was never interested in depending on a man so she independently raises her kids as per her own choice. 
i feel like all of elsa’s kids inherited some of her ice powers , variety and power differing.
they’re a pretty tight nit family , astrid definitely clinging to elsa a bit more than the others bc shes the baby. 
BACKGROUND.
astrid grew up in auradon & enjoyed it for the most part , though she’s always been a bit curious of the isle. 
a random fun fact ; her hair is naturally ice white with blue tips , but she likes to dye it pink every now and then. 
she has minimal ice powers , they’re not super strong but she can conjure up some snow and ice when needed. she could definitely get stronger , but she doesn’t have a huge interest in it.
although when she was little , she made a baby snowman named gerald. he didn’t talk , but she took him everywhere. 
anyway. 
astrid is definitely a princess. looks like a princess , acts like a princess. 
she’s definitely a bit proper , though she does let some curse words slip when she’s in a mood. 
sometimes prefers to be by herself and will death glare at you in your interrupt her alone time. 
definitely a bit easy to mess with , she gets annoyed super easily even when she tries not to. 
generally speaking , she’s pretty nice though she will 100% say things how they are , she never does it intentionally to hurt feelings.
she is a lot like her mother in the way of problem solving , she tries to fix everything herself. 
you can find astrid’s wanted connections here ! 
luke hemmings. twenty-two. cis male. he/him. two sibs. ––– hey , there's ACELIN ‘ACE’ SPEROS from THE ISLE walking past the castle. they’re the MIDDLE child of HADES , isn’t that cool ? talk says they can be pretty - DEMEANING , but don’t let that worry you – they can be + CANDID too. say , don’t you think they remind you of SNEAKING AROUND LATE AT NIGHT , FIREY HOT FINGERTIPS AGAINST COLD SKIN , & SUSPICIOUS BUT SOMEHOW CHARMING SMIRKS , or is that just me ?
Tumblr media
BASICS ON ACELIN ‘ ACE ’ SPEROS !
full name : acelin alastair speros. 
nicknames : ace. 
parent : hades , unknown mother. 
orientation : bisexual , biromantic.
FAMILY.
ace is the middle child of three from hades himself , god of the underworld ! 
despite being , ya know , hades , i do feel like he wasn’t an awful father to the kids , though it was hard to not turn out pretty rough considering the conditions. 
their mother was never present , and hades has never even revealed who she is. 
def feel like the serpos’ kids all have some powers of some sorts , like hades.
BACKGROUND.
ace grew up on the isle and honestly , he didn’t hate it.
he’s naturally a bit rude by nature , always doing anything to get what he wanted. 
known to lie , manipulate , etc. but lived a relatively secluded life , only making appearanced when he needs something.
it was very much like that scene in a movie when the bully comes in and everything gets quiet.
not that he’s a bully . . . but . . . he was definitely not the nicest of people on the isle. 
then again , being nice on the isle wasn’t really an option. 
when it came to the barrier being opened , ace wasn’t entirely impressed at first. he didn’t really have any interest in the isle and since the parents had to remain locked there , he wasn’t all the invested in leaving his dad.
however , he ends up deciding to cross , mainly curious as to what the hell king quincy is doing.
he definitely didn’t change any of her mannerisms for the sake of the isle , he’s still very much rude when he needs to be and he does not have time for any royals that don’t want them there.
has definitely gotten into a few fights alright , i’m sure. 
ace is able to conjure some blue fire from his finger tips , though he doesn’t tend to show it off often.
his skin is also always super hot. he naturally runs a temperature. 
has adorable blondes curls with lil blue streaks. 
he’s a pain in the ass , honestly. :/
you can find ace’s wanted connections here !

Veritaserum
Tumblr media
A/N: my first nct dream fic!!!! this has been in the works for 5 months now bc i kept getting sidetracked with other fics and miscellaneous personal affairs but here it is~~~ i hope y’all enjoy!
Pairing: NCT Dream’s Jaemin x Reader
Genre: Fluff/Slytherin!Reader x Hufflepuff!Jaemin AU
Word Count: 5.4k 
Veritaserum:  "Three drops of this and even You-Know-Who himself would spill out his darkest secrets."
Don’t you ever feel like the universe ever just looked down on you and went, “fuck you, Y/N?” This was definitely one of those days.
See, you were mindlessly walking back to the Greenhouses since you had to ask Professor Sprouts an extremely pressing question regarding the cultivation of peaches for a certain potion you were concocting. Simple stuff really, no way you’d get harm doing something as simple as walking, right? Wrong, 100% completely wrong. Just as you turn the corner of the corridor leading to the Greenhouses, a sudden force comes barreling right into you, knocking you off of your feet and falling backwards onto the floor. The last thing you saw before screwing your eyes shut was a blur of peachy hair. Your back comes upon impact with the floor, and you could feel the weight of your barreller on top of you. However, your mind comes to a rushing halt when you realized that there was also something brushing against your lips very softly before the feeling is gone. Your eyes snap open when you hear a murmured apology, and all you could catch of your first-kiss-stealer’s appearance was his peach-colored hair and his yellow & black robes flowing behind him.
“What happened to you?” your best friend, Donghyuck asks when he spies you storming through the Great Hall’s doors and towards the Slytherin table. The moment you sat down, you slam your head down on the dining table and let out an obnoxious groan, earning a handful of curious glances from your peers. “Okay, Y/N, what crawled up your ass and laid its eggs?” Donghyuck doesn’t even look up from his mashed potatoes when he asks, already used to your dramatics. You give him a grunt in reply. “I swear, Y/N, with your dramatic ass, I’m surprised the Sorting Hat didn’t drop you in Gryffindor,” he says with an eye roll.
“That’s not a nice thing to say about us Gryffindors,” Mark pouts, arriving at the table just to check on you. Unfortunately for Donghyuck, he caught the Slytherin boy’s remark.
“Just look at them!” Donghyuck scoffs, waving his fork in your general direction.
“What’s wrong, Y/N?” Mark asks. His brows furrow in concern. You lift your head from the table and gave the upperclassman a pout. Donghyuck just scoffs.
“Don’t give my boyfriend that face,” he huffs. You stick your tongue out at the brunet.
“I lo...ss...day,” you mutter.
“What’d you say?” Mark asks, leaning in closer. Donghyuck does too.
“I los...my...irst...ss...day…” you say again, this time just a decibel louder.
“Yah, Y/N, how can you expect us to comfort you if we can’t even hear what you’re saying,” Donghyuck snaps. Mark hits his shoulder and sends him a warning glare.
“I LOST MY FIRST KISS TODAY!” you yell, causing the entirety of the Great Hall to snap their head towards you. “Great,” you mumble, trying very hard to sink yourself further into the bench, “just great.”
“Who would kiss you?” Donghyuck snorts, earning another hit from his boyfriend. “Fine, who kissed you?” Right when he asks, a certain peach-haired boy walks into the Great Hall; this time, however, his hair is much more mussed up, dirt and grass stains his shirt and cheeks, and the yellow and black robe was no longer draping his body but carelessly thrown over his shoulder. You freeze up once your eyes land on him. Your two friends quip their eyebrows at your odd behaviour before following your line of vision.
“Wait, hold up,” Mark starts, “are you telling me—”
“Na Jaemin claimed your virgin lips?” Donghyuck hisses. You quickly lunge forward and cover your best friend’s big fat mouth with your hand.
“Shush it!” you snap, your voice barely above a whisper. “He might hear you!”
“I can’t believe you let the biggest flirt in the entire school kiss you?” Mark questions, “Like, Y/N, our beloved cynical snake, let the smiliest, flirtiest boy kiss them? And it was their first kiss too?” The poor Gryffindor sits down for a second to process the overwhelming information. “Wow, that’s actually wild,” he utters.
“It wasn’t like I purposefully let him kiss me,” you mutter, suddenly becoming way more interested in your soup.
“Are you trying to tell me he accidentally kissed you?” Donghyuck teases, but at the notice of your miniscule nod, his eyes widen. “Oh shit, how’d that happen?”
“Muffliato,” you mutter, waving your wand under the table. Once you ensure none of your fellow housemates were eavesdropping, you retell to Mark and Donghyuck exactly how a certain peach-haired Hufflepuff stole your virgin lips.
“Think he knows what he did?” Mark asks. You look over to the Hufflepuff table. Jaemin has the sleeve of his dress shirt rolled up and his tie loose; he was currently in the middle of recounting some anecdote from Quidditch practice to the flock of yellow & black-robed girls situated around him.
“I doubt it,” you snort, “It doesn’t matter anyway; it’s just a kiss.”
“You’re a filthy liar, Y/N L/N,” you curse under your breath. Ever since the incident, you have been spying that cursed, albeit beautiful, boy much more often. Like, you knew you share classes with him, but now you find your eyes wandering towards his direction during Herbology and Charms and Potions.
“Y/N L/N?” Professor Flitwick’s voice breaks through your reverie, “May you go ahead and demonstrate the proper motion for Aguamenti? It seems that a certain group,” he sends a pointed look towards Jaemin and his friends, the party looking significantly singed, “seemed to have forgotten what we had learned in our previous lesson.”
“Of course, Professor.” You get out of your seat and stand in the center of the room. Your eyes flicker across the room for a second, briefly making eye contact with Jaemin before focusing back to the wand in your hand. You will your face to stop getting so hot after realizing exactly how intently the peach-haired Hufflepuff was staring at you. “Aguamenti,” you state, moving your wand in a fluid motion, mimicking the movement of the waves. A gentle stream of water spurts from the tip of your wand and into the potted plant placed on Professor Flitwick’s desk. The class gives you a polite round of applause, and Professor Flitwick beams at you.
“My pansies are quite happy they’ve finally been watered,” he jests, “10 points to Slytherin for Y/N’s excellence in the Augamenti charm!” His eyes then flicker back to the Hufflepuffs’ side of the classroom. “And I advise you,” he says looking pointedly at Jaemin, “to follow Y/N’s example the next time I ask you all to demonstrate the charm. Class is dismissed!” You gather your books and parchment into your bag and catch up with Donghyuck at the door.
“I think your 10 points just put us in the lead for the House Cup,” your best friend cheers as the two of you made way towards the Quidditch field; he sits on the bleachers and works on homework while you whiz around on your Nimbus 2001 and run drills with the rest of the Slytherin Quidditch team. “Now just continue being the giant ass nerd you are, and we might finally kick Gryffindor off of their 3-year win streak.”
“I thought you told Mark you weren’t salty about them winning last year?” you ask, turning towards your friend and quirking a brow.
“Sometimes, little white lies won’t hurt the relationship. It’ll only preserve it,” he says sagely, “Plus, you’re always complaining about how they win everything, so don’t pretend you’re not plotting to steal the House Cup away from them this year.”
“Well-”
“Y/N!” a voice rings out from behind you, promptly interrupting your sentence. You whip your head around to see Jaemin running up towards you, his yellow and black robe billowing behind him. Immediately you tense up.
“Hi, Jaemin,” Donghyuck greets. The Hufflepuff gives him a nod of acknowledgement before turning towards you.
“Can I ask you something?” he asks you.
“You kinda just did,” Donghyuck interjects again. You glare at him, and he simply raises his hands in surrender. “Fine, fine, I’ll leave. See you at the field, Y/N.”
“What’s up, Jaemin?” you ask, trying to play it at cool as possible.
“Um, well,” he dips his head, and you’re faced with a mop of peachy hair. When he looks up at you, his face is adorned with a boyish, shy smile. Jaemin rubs at the back of his neck before he asks you, “Can you help me with Charms?” You’re taken aback by his question. Mainly because you were surprised it wasn’t about the accidental kiss the two of you had shared. He must’ve sensed your hesitancy because he immediately spoke up. “I know we aren’t close, but you’re the best in our N.E.W.T level class, and I’ve been struggling a lot with the technical side of it. I figured you would be able to help me?” he pleads.
“I guess I can?” you reply, “I can’t today since I have Quidditch practice, but I’m free after dinner to help you.”
“Really?” he beams, “That’s awesome, Y/N. Thank you so much!” Jaemin’s smile catches you off guard because you never thought any guy with pink hair could look that beautiful. “I’ll meet up with you after dinner!”
“Watch out, L/N!” your team captain, Yuta, shouts from above you. However, his warning was absolutely useless when a Bludger comes barreling into you and knocks you to the left. The Quaffle you had in your hand went falling towards the ground. “Time out!” Yuta bellows, and the entire team flies back towards the ground.
“You alright, Y/N?” Hyunjin, a fellow Chaser, asks once everyone reached the ground.
“Yeah, sorry for being distracted,” you apologize, “I just had something on my mind.”
“Well get your head in the game, L/N,” Yuta barks, “We have a game this Saturday against Hufflepuff, and they’ve actually been good this year. I’m not about to lose our Quidditch Cup streak to them.”
“Got it,  Captain,” you reply, mounting your broom and heading back up.
“God, that looks like it hurts,” Donghyuck mutters as he peers at the blotch of red that mars your right arm.
“It’s definitely going to leave a bruise,” Yuta chimes in as he plops himself down across the table from  you. “Now, Y/N, I have some ideas for drills next week and-” Your captain stops talking to glare behind your head. “What do you want?”
You quirk a brow at Yuta, and he juts his chin forward in response. You turn around and find yourself greeted by the yellow and black tie of a certain Hufflepuff.
“Uh, I just wanted to see if you were still down with meeting up after dinner?” Jaemin asks, trying not to waver under your captain’s glower.
“Yeah, there’s an empty classroom we could use on the 2nd floor. Just meet me there,” you reply.
“Awesome! I’ll see you later then!”
The moment Jaemin settles back down at the Hufflepuff table, Yuta kicks your leg from under the table.
“What’s that for?” you snap, already fed up with the number of bruises accumulating on your body.
“I can’t believe you’re flirting with Hufflepuff’s Seeker! Right in front of my salad too!” Yuta exclaims, exaggeratedly gesturing towards his plate.
“We weren’t flirting,” you reply, “I’m just helping him with Charms.”
“But if you don’t help him with Charms, he’ll fail and won’t be able to play in the upcoming match!”
“Guaranteed win for Slytherin,” Donghyuck chimes in with his mouth full of cake.
“And this is why we’re considered the ‘evil’ House,” you mutter, not even sparing your friends a chuckle.
“Fine, but if we lose the game this Saturday, it’s on you.”
“Yeah, yeah, Cap'n, it’s on me.”
“How did you do that?” Jaemin exclaims as he watches water flow out of the tip of your wand.
“It’s the same thing Professor Flitwick has been trying to teach you for the past week though?” you say with a quirked eyebrow.
“Well, yeah, but I don’t really pay attention in that class,” he mutters at the end of his sentence.
“What do you pay attention to then?” you prod.
Jaemin averts their gaze. “I, uh, well, I just watch Yukhei shove copious amounts of Bertie Botts’ Every Flavor Beans in his mouth and pray he doesn’t die of sensory overload,” he pauses to run his excuse over in his head again before nodding, “Yeah, that’s what I do.”
You don’t believe his excuse at all, but you ignore his horrible lying skills and revert your focus back onto the task at hand. “Anyways, the trick to perfecting Augamenti is to make sure your arm motion is fluid. Even if you tense just a bit, the charm won’t work 100% like you want it to,” you explain, demonstrating for him again the motion. He stares in awe at the steady stream of water flowing from your wand and nods in understanding. You train your eyes on Jaemin’s form and pick up his mistake instantly.
“Uh, is something wrong?” he asks, shifting awkwardly under your gaze.
“Here, let me fix something,” you reply before moving towards him. You take his arm and position it just a bit further outwards and nudge his right leg forward a bit with your foot. Once his stance was correct, you take a step back to look over his figure again. “Tsk, you’re still too stiff. Loosen your muscles a bit, Jaemin.” He does as you instruct, but you could only grumble at how off it looks. His shoulders were slightly hunched over, and his arms were too tense. Your eyes drift meticulously over his body and your spirits dampen further when you see his locked knees. Taking matters into your own hands, you place your palms on his shoulders to slightly push them back. You then trail your hands deftly down his arms to loosen them up, trying especially hard not to notice the toned muscles that flex beneath your fingertips. Before you could even think about kneeling down to address the knee problem, Jaemin unlocks his knees. This time you notice the adorable flush dusting his cheeks.
“Well,” you awkwardly coughed, “your stance is right. Try the spell now.”
“Augamenti,” Jaemin says smoothly, producing a stream of water from his wand. “Woah!” he exclaims, “I did it!”
“Looks like my work here is done. Goodnight, Jaemin,” you state, turning around to leave.
“Wait, let me walk you back to your Common Room.”
“You want to come down to the dungeons? Even with curfew starting in 30 minutes?” you ask, quirking a brow at him.
“I can’t just let you walk back by yourself! That’d be rude of me!” he exclaims.
“I’m pretty sure I can handle walking by myself,” you say, trying to ward off the smile threatening to form on your lips.
“Still…”
It didn’t matter how many times you tell him that you were completely capable of walking to your Common Room by yourself, he still trails behind you, chattering away, and pulling laughter from your lips. You were enjoying his company so much that you didn't even notice the two of you already standing before the entrance.
“Morior invictus,” you say. The entrance opens up, revealing the long hallway leading to your Common Room. “Well,” you say, turning back towards the peach-haired boy, “Good night, Jaemin.” You want to smack yourself at how smitten you sound.
“Good night, Y/N. Sweet dreams,” he says softly. You watch as he turns around and runs back the way the two of you came from. His sweet voice still lingers in your ears, making you smile even brighter the more times you replay his words in your head.
“Ugh,” you snap out of your reverie, “He’s not even that cute.” You pause for a second to collect your thoughts before breaking the silence, “Don’t lie to yourself, Y/N. He’s extremely cute. The cutest, smiliest-”
“Who’s extremely cute?” a voice speaks out from your left, causing you to jump back.
“Donghyuck! Don’t scare me like that!” you scold.
“Anyways, who’s extremely cute?” your best friend goads while wearing a shit-eating grin.
“Not you, you toad,” you jest. He sticks his tongue out at you in return, and you just huff and start walking towards the stairway leading to your room.
“Is it a certain cotton candy-haired Hufflepuff?” Donghyuck asks nonchalantly, matching his step with yours.
“It’s actually peach-colored,” you reply absentmindedly. However, you catch your mistake quickly and whirl around to face your best friend with wide eyes. “Wait, actually-”
“Aha! I knew it! You do like Na Jaemin!” he exclaims.
“Donghyuck, please, I swear keep your voice-”
“Mark owes me unlimited butterbeers for a month now! Heck yeah, high five, Y/N, couldn’t have done this without you!” He cheers and holds out his hand for you. However, you could not find it in you to share his joy.
“You can’t tell anybody. Do you understand me?”
“Why not? It’s no fun to keep secrets,” he teases. “Speaking of that, when are you gonna tell the guy?”
“What?” you look at him in horror, “Never!”
“Aw, c’mon, Y/N. He obviously likes you too!”
“You’re shitting me, right?” you deadpan, “He absolutely does not!”
“Why did he ask you to help him with Charms then?”
“Because he’s failing Charms? And I’m the best in the class? Donghyuck, if he was failing Potions, he would’ve definitely asked you.”
“But, he didn’t have to walk you all the way back to the Common Room,” Donghyuck retorts. You don’t reply. “Heh, I gotchu there, didn’t I?” he teases, earning a smack to the head from you.
“I’m going to bed,” you deadpan, “And I’m promptly ignoring you for the rest of the week.”
You rush down the corridors towards the Great Hall while pulling your Quidditch jersey over your head. “God, I can’t believe I slept past my alarm,” you grumble, already dreading the earful you were going to get from Yuta upon your arrival. You barge through the throng of first-year Hufflepuffs and rush towards the Slytherin table, snatching the piece of toast out of Donghyuck’s hand, and plopping down next to him.
“You’re 10 minutes late, Y/N,” Yuta comments.
“Well, Hyunjin isn’t here yet, so I don’t see the problem,” you retort with your mouth full of food. Donghyuck silently hands you a glass of apple juice which you accept gratefully. However, you catch him eying you warily mid-chug, so you place the glass down and send him a questioning look.
“Are you still mad at me?” he asks.
“I’m not mad, just annoyed with you,” you reply, picking up the glass to chug down the rest of your juice. Donghyuck just hums in response, but you notice the mischievous glint in his eye. “What did you do?”
“What?” he feigns innocence, “Nothing! When I have ever caused you any harm?”
“The time in our first year where you turned my morning apple juice into orange juice, the time in our second year where you chucked a Quaffle at my head while I was trying out for the team, the time in our third year where you shoved a-”
“Okay, I get it! But, you know you love me.”
You open your mouth to give him a snarky response, but instead you reply with, “Yeah, I do,” much to your own surprise. “Huh,” you muse outloud, “I guess I’m in a good mood today.” Donghyuck just nods along, and Yuta rolls his eyes at the two of you.
“Finish your food, Y/N. We have a game to win today,” Yuta states before getting up and heading towards the Quidditch pitch.
“Nervous, Y/N?” Hyunjin asks as the two of you mount your brooms.
“Yeah,” you reply, frowning at your honesty. You never show people your nervousness. You’re gnawing away at your lip when you catch Jaemin’s eyes staring at you. You shoot him a small smile, and he beams right back before mouthing the words, “Good luck!” A sudden giddy feeling bubbles away in your stomach, and you could not help as your smile widens. However, you quickly remember you’re about to compete in one of the most important Quidditch games in your life, so you revert your attention back onto Madam Hooch. The moment she threw the Quaffle into the air, you fly towards it and easily gain possession of it before volleying it to Hyunjin, who was already racing towards the goalpost. A Hufflepuff Chaser named Felix tries to intercept your throw but gets knocked back by an expertly hit Bludger.
“Hell yeah!” you cheer when Hyunjin scores the first goal of the match. He sends you a smirk and a nod towards Yuta, who was smugly swinging his bat. Your celebration is cut short when the opposing Goalkeeper chucks the Quaffle back into play; however, you weave your way through the throng of Hufflepuff Chasers, narrowly dodge a Bludger, and catch the ball with ease. Hyunjin prevents any opposing Chasers from stopping your flight, and you score yet another goal for Slytherin. A cheer echoes throughout the pitch. The game continues with both sides scoring until the scores were neck-in-neck; Slytherin was only leading by a 20 point margin. If Jaemin catches the Snitch before Ten, the Slytherin Seeker, did, your team loses the match. You grit your teeth and lean your body forwards, keeping your eyes trained on the Quaffle currently in Felix’s hand. You’re just a hair behind him before you feel something whiz past your ear. Your eyes widen when you realize the Snitch fluttering in front of you. With a quick motion of your hand, Hyunjin assists you in body-checking Felix, allowing your third Chaser to catch the Quaffle and fly back towards your goal post. Hyunjin follows suit to ensure a Slytherin goal, while you pause to look for Jaemin and Ten. Soon enough, the two boys come barrelling through the pitch towards the direction of the Snitch. You curse under your breath when you realize Jaemin has a slight speed advantage over Ten.
“What to do, Y/N?” you mutter before it dawned on you. Slow Jaemin down. You knew Bludgers couldn’t be targeted towards him, and you couldn’t physically slow him down, but a little bit of heckling never hurt anybody. You zero your focus on the peach-haired boy and fly towards him.
“Jaemin!” you call out, not even sure if your plan was going to work. He falters for a second, head perking up at the sound of your voice, allowing Ten to gain an advantage in the pursuit for the Snitch. You could practically see Jaemin kicking himself over his rookie mistake and refocusing his energy on the Snitch, but you are persistent. “You know, you wouldn’t have lost the Snitch if you just brushed your perfect hair out of your eyes,” you taunt. However, horror dawns on you at the realization of your words. What the hell did you just say?
“Wait, what did you just say?” Jaemin throws back, but his attention doesn’t waver.
“I said your hair was perfect just like the rest of you!” What the hell are you saying? You couldn’t stop your cheeks from heating up, and you had absolutely zero clue why you couldn’t stop your mouth from saying the dumbest things.
“You think I’m perfect?” he asks, slowing down just a little bit. You don’t know how to respond, but your mouth moves before your brain could stop it.
“Yes.” With those words, you mentally kick yourself and fly back towards the Chaser action happening above you, arriving just in time for Hyunjin to throw you the Quaffle. You push back the odd interaction with Jaemin to the back of your head and throw the ball through the goalpost, earning another 10 points for Slytherin.
Suddenly, Madam Hooch’s whistle rings through the stadium, and you hear the Quidditch announcer, a seventh year Ravenclaw named Doyoung, call out, “And Ten claims the Golden Snitch, earning 150 points for Slytherin! With a game of 210-50, Slytherin wins the match!” A thunderous cheer roars from the stands as your Housemates rejoice in a landslide victory, ensuring Slytherin’s spot in the House Cup finals.
“Hell yeah we won!” Yuta cheers the moment all team members touch the ground. “Who knew Ten could overtake a youngster like that?”
“We’re not that old,” Ten retorts, wrinkling his nose at the idea of being one of the oldest on the team. “And I couldn’t have done it without Y/N being a little shit towards the guy. Who knew Jaemin had such a weakness for our star Chaser?” He shoots you a shit-eating grin.
“Shut up,” you mumble, “I’m the one that has a crush on him.” You freeze at the sudden confession, and your team does too. “Oh my fucking god, why can’t I keep my mouth shut,” you groan.
“It’s like you’re always telling us the truth, Y/N,” Hyunjin mentions, “Like this morning, they told me they were nervous.  For the first time in my entire life, Y/N told me they were nervous!”
You mull over his words before the realization hit. You suddenly recall a lesson from Potions a week ago.
“Professor Slughorn, what is that?” you ask peering into the cauldron that sat upon his desk. The liquid inside is  so clear that you could easily make out the scratch marks at the bottom of the pewter cauldron.
“It’s Veritaserum, you idiot,” Donghyuck chimes in, “Supposed to be the strongest truth potion. Three drops and even You-Know-Who would spill his darkest secrets.”
“Voldemort?” you ask with a quirked brow. Nobody calls him that anymore.
“No! Yuta, of course,” your best friend replies with a wave of his hand, “I always wonder where he disappears off to after curfew.” You shrug in reply, deciding to just head over to your seat as the rest of the class filed in. As Donghyuck answers every single one of Professor Slughorn’s questions like the snivelling know-it-all he is, you focus on doodling in your notebook. Somehow you were able to draw a quite perfect peach.
“Professor, how do you brew a Veritaserum?” Donghyuck asks, pulling your attention away from your parchment.
Professor Slughorn raises an eyebrow at him. “Considering how highly regulated it is by the Ministry, it is not in my best interest to let you know until your seventh year N.E.W.T course. However, you can expect it to be extremely laborious.”
“Is there no way to learn how to brew it, professor?”
“Well, the steps are written down, but those potions books are all in the restricted section of your library. We don’t want any students accidentally conjuring up anything dangerous,” he says with a chuckle. “Why do you ask, Mr. Lee?”
“No reason, professor. Just a little curious, that’s all,” Donghyuck replies smartly, and you snort at his words.
“Oh my god,” you say in horror. He did not. He absolutely could not have. But knowing how brilliant your best friend is in Potions, he most definitely had. You pull away from your team and march towards the stands. The moment you caught sight of him you bellow, “Lee Donghyuck! Get your ass down here now before I invert your ears!” He freezes under your glare and turns to his boyfriend for some sort of backup, but Mark just shrugs and walks off, leaving Donghyuck to defend for himself.
“I cannot believe you would pull something as irresponsibly illegal as pouring Veritaserum in my apple juice! Donghyuck, you idiot! How could you ruin something as sacred and holy as my morning apple juice?” you yell at him under the stands. A strong Muffliato charm keeps any peers or professors from eavesdropping on your tirade. Donghyuck withers under your voice.
“Sorry, Y/N, I was just tired of seeing you pathetically pine over that Hufflepuff, so I took matters into my own hands,” he mumbles.
“By drugging me?” you screech.
“You weren’t being honest to yourself or him, and it is so obvious Mr. Cotton Candy Headass likes you too! So I figured why not? I’m good at brewing, so I gotta use my powers for good!”
“How can you still be so arrogant at a time like this?” you mutter.
“But am I wrong?”
“...No”
“Well then, looks like you have someone to talk to,” Donghyuck says suddenly, pushing you out from under the stands, and making you slam into the body of an incoming person. You look up and see Jaemin peering down at you.
“Y/N?” he asks, “You alright?” You immediately back off of him and send him a sheepish smile.
“Sorry, I should really look where I’m going. Anyways, good game, I gotta go!” Before you could create any real distance between the two of you, he reaches for your hand and stops you.
“We need to talk.”
“Ha, what do we need to talk about?” you ask, chuckling awkwardly.
“What you said today on the field,” he states, “Look, I don’t know if you were just messing with me to win or if you were being completely honest about what you said.”
“I was being completely honest,” you say bluntly. Well shit, looks like the Veritaserum still has some effect.
“Oh wow, really?” Jaemin asks. He ruffles his hair a bit, and you notice the flush creeping upon his cheeks.
“You know, you’re really cute.” He sputters at your comment. “Like, your hair is the same shade as a peach, and when you blush, your cheeks also turn the same shade as a peach, and it honestly makes me want to pinch your cheeks and cover you with kisses. Oh my god, I can’t believe I just said that, but I also can because I’m under the influence of Veritaserum and-” Jaemin takes short strides towards you before cupping your cheeks with his hands and leaning down to capture your lips with his.
Your eyes flutter close at the contact, and you felt him smile into the kiss. When he pulled away, your eyes stay closed for just a couple moments longer before opening to drink in Jaemin’s face post-kiss, blushing cheeks, starry eyes, and all. He smiles gently at you and presses his forehead against yours, eliciting a shy smile from you. He then runs his thumb along your lower lip before whispering, “Even better than the first time.” You look at him questioningly before the meaning of his words sank in.
“You knew I was the person you kissed after barreling into me?” you ask, pulling away from him slightly.
“I could I forget? You have like, the softest lips known to wizarding kind,” he teases.
“Why didn’t you say anything beforehand,” you pout, “That would’ve saved me all the embarrassment on the pitch.”
“Well, I heard a very scary Slytherin complaining about how I stole their first kiss, and I prefer living, so I decided not to bring it up.”
“Then the Charms thing?”
“I actually was failing Charms. I guess fate wanted us to be together so much it made me bomb my last essay,” he jokes. “Plus, I started noticing you around more and figured why not get to know you better. Who knew I’d end up falling for you?” He says the last question so nonchalantly you don’t even notice it until you catch the teasing look he sends your way.
“Shut up,” you mumble shyly, “I have many likable charms.”
“Yeah, I know,” he replies before wrapping his arms around you tightly. “Now, if this Veritaserum is still working, what exactly do you like about my perfect hair?” he teasingly asks. You glare at him, but before the answer could bubble itself out of your mouth, you break from his embrace and run towards the locker rooms. Jaemin chases after you, but stops himself so he can watch on in amusement as you struggle to keep exactly what you liked about him to yourself.
“I’ll get it out of you, Y/N! Even without the Veritaserum!” he calls out.
“You probably will!” you reply, shortly followed by a, “Oh my god, Y/N, shut up!” Jaemin laughs at your adorableness before retreating back towards the stand where he spied Donghyuck lurking. Maybe their sudden “friend-in-law” status could help him procure some Veritaserum, you know, for emergency purposes; definitely not for getting the exact reason you liked him out of you, absolutely not.

Harry Potter and the Dark Councillors
Chapter 3: Let’s Get You a Wand
Anubin paced the floor in front of the group, wondering what he should say first. Perhaps a greeting - or should he get right into it? He decided on the second option, as some of his audience seemed... twitchy.
"Using the Force - what you call magic - without a focus will not be easy for many of you, given how you're used to relying on them. The hope, though, is that you will at least grasp the basics within a few weeks."
He took stock of the expressions of his audience, pleased to find that they were mostly nodding and hopeful, rather than confused.
"Good. Now, everyone sit. Find a comfortable position. I will begin by teaching you to touch the Force with your senses through meditation."
By the end of the session, several members of the group - Dumbledore, Minerva, and a redheaded woman named Lily - had managed to feel the Force and reach out into it. Lily had even begun to try manipulating it, lifting her wand according to Anubin's instructions. She couldn't quite manage it, but he could feel her grasp on the wand by the time the session ended.
"You've all done quite well," Anubin said by way of conclusion. "Tomorrow, we will try again, and see if more of you can touch the Force. Being able to touch it is the first step to being able to manipulate it."
Some members of the group stayed behind to ask him some questions about the limits of their abilities without their wands, and he answered them to the best of his ability. When their curiosity was largely satisfied, they left, leaving Anubin alone with Minerva.
"Ready to go?" she asked.
"Yes. I'll go get Vowrawn."
The three were to go and get Anubin a wand. Minerva led them to the Headmaster's office, where she lit a fire in the hearth and explained to them about Floo travel. Anubin found the experience disorienting, but fascinating. Upon learning that the formula for Floo powder was a closely guarded secret, he made up his mind to demand in any possible treaty that he be taught the secrets of the Floo network.
They emerged from the fireplace in a rather cozy bar. The denizens didn't even flinch at their appearance, though Anubin caught some people glancing curiously at his tattoos. He pulled the hood of his robe forward a little, to better hide his horns.
Minerva led them behind the bar building to some bins smelling of garbage. Before Anubin could comment, she tapped one particular brick in the wall behind the bins with her wand.
The wall opened into a doorway to a long narrow street, shadowed on both sides by building holding shops of all kinds. Each shop had a wooden sign jutting into the air advertising their wares, from birds to books to what looked like a bloated organ of some kind. Anubin zeroed in on the sign displaying a wand with sparks at the end, the lettering below the wand declaring that the shop belonged to Ollivander and had been established in 635 BC, whatever that meant. Anubin took it to mean 'a long time ago'.
The three walked into that shop, a worn bell proclaiming their entrance with a tired chime. Shortly thereafter, an older-looking human with a shock of white hair made an appearance, smiling at the group. It was rather off-putting.
"Hello, Minerva. You're not here for a new wand, are you?" His gaze landed on Anubin and Vowrawn. "I don't recall ever meeting either of you. Perhaps you're the ones looking for wands?"
"I am, in fact," Anubin replied. "I was curious about your wands. I build foci for Force power myself, though they're usually not made of wood."
"Oh? Force? My dear boy, I do suppose you refer to magic? In that case, I would quite like to see what focus you use."
Anubin handed over his usual Force focus to the man, who was presumably Ollivander himself. Ollivander took it carefully, producing his own wand and tapping at it. The focus sparked, and Ollivander handed it back, satisfied.
"Interesting. I suppose your usual use involves channeling lightning?"
"Yes. I was wondering how that might affect a wand..."
The two chatted for some time about focus uses and materials. Anubin made a mental note to ask Dumbledore about teaching this man to wandlessly channel the Force; it seemed something he might be interested in.
"As terribly interesting as this conversation is," Vowrawn interrupted after a while, "are we not here for a reason?"
"Of course," Ollivander agreed. "Now, who would like to be measured first?"
"I will," Anubin volunteered.
Ollivander tapped a length of string on his desk with his wand, and it flew over to Anubin to measure him. He dropped his hood to allow it to measure his head, ignoring Ollivander's shock at seeing his horns.
The measuring string seemed enthusiastic about its job, moving on to measuring his ankles and wrists. Anubin had to draw the line when it attempted to measure between his nostrils, and he pushed it away with a blast of Force energy. It fell to the floor.
"I would appreciate it if you would try not to unleash magic on my equipment."
"Sorry."
"No matter. Try this. Fir and unicorn hair, ten and a quarter inches, reasonably bendy."
Anubin allowed the Force to flow through him into the wand, but found that the wand didn't want to channel the Force for him, if it could be said to have wants.
He asked Ollivander as much and received an emphatic yes. "The wand chooses the wizard, dear boy." Suddenly his face took on a look of confusion; combined with his hair and his long, thin features, it was almost comical. "I never learned your name."
"It's Anubin. And this is Vowrawn." Vowrawn nodded his agreement.
"I see. Well, Anubin, wands are capable of many things. In fact, wands are nearly conscious, with at least the ability to tell whether an individual is a suitable master, and..."
MInerva cleared her throat, and he cut himself off. "Of course, we can perhaps speak of wandlore in greater detail later. For now, try this. Holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches, nice and supple. A rather odd combination, but it may just fit."
This wand had a rather explosive negative reaction, sending itself flying into one wall and Anubin into the other. He reacted quickly enough to cushion the impact.
"Marvellous! No, that absolutely does not fit! I know I have one here..." Ollivander dove into the back of the store, riffling through the boxes on one shelf until he apparently found what he was looking for.
"Vine and dragon heartstring, twelve and three quarter inches, hard." As soon as he opened the box, the tip of the wand crackled with electricity.
Anubin reached out and took the wand in his hand. As soon as he did, his arm felt warm, and as he channeled the Force, it felt like a circuit had suddenly been completed. A spark jumped from the tip of the wand, exploding in midair with a crackle of lightning.
"It's perfect. I'll have to test my abilities with it further, but i believe it's perfect."
He switched the wand into his left hand and drew his lightsaber without activating it. He liked the feeling of both his weapons in his hands. Satisfied, he returned his lightsaber to his belt.
Ollivander, meanwhile, focused on Vowrawn. "Would you like to be fitted for a wand as well?"
"Why not? I admit, I found there was something about the spectacle you put on, Anubin, that's intrigued me greatly."
"Of course. You just enjoyed seeing me thrown across the room."
Vowrawn's eyes glittered. "Never. Perish the thought."
Ollivander watched their conversation with bright eyes, then went for the wand boxes again.
"Here. Dogwood and dragon heartstring, twelve inches, quite flexible."
Vowrawn took the wand. Immediately there was a loud pop and a small spark jumped from the end.
Vowrawn pointed the wand at the wall, and a small bolt of lightning flew from the end. The bolt stopped just before it hit the wall and dissipated into the air.
Vowrawn grinned at the wand. "Marvellous! It's a wonderful focus. As Anubin said, it's very nearly perfect!"
Ollivander, oddly, looked a little put out. "That was rather easy, wasn't it. Yes, it does seem quite a good fit. Well, that will do... it's fourteen Galleons for the two of them."
Minerva reached into her robes and pulled out what had to be a moneybag, removing fourteen large gold coins from it. Anubin watched with interest.
"So that's a Galleon. What are your other coins? Sickles and Knuts, right?"
"Yes. Twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle, and seventeen Sickles to a Galleon," Minerva replied.
"Indeed. Good day to you," Ollivander said, accepting the coins from Minerva.
The three left the shop and continued down the alley, Anubin and Vowrawn glancing into the windows of shops as they passed. One in particular, the Magical Menagerie, caught Anubin's eye, mainly because as they passed the door flew open and a greyish blur came streaking out and attached itself to Anubin's leg.
The shop owner came dashing out after it, stopping in his tracks when he spotted the animal attached to Anubin. "That's where you went! Get back here, you little beast!" He lunged for the animal, who leapt off Anubin into Vowrawn's rather surprised arms and hissed at the man attempting to capture it.
Anubin automatically brought his wand to bear, calling on the Force to stop the shopkeeper in his tracks once again. Then, with exaggerated calm, he took the animal from Vowrawn's arms and held it in front of himself to examine it.
It appeared to be a feline of some sort, though it was rather small and scruffy. Presumably, it was intended to be a pet, so likely it wouldn't get much bigger. It sported a number of scars on its flanks and had a tip torn off its ear, and was covered in so much dirt that it was nearly impossible to tell what colour its fur was. It stared at Anubin in return with bright yellow eyes, which closed for a moment as Anubin looked into them. The animal began to vibrate softly in Anubin's hands, and Anubin realized it was purring.
"She likes you," the shopkeeper said in astonishment, having picked himself off the ground where he'd fallen when Anubin stopped focusing on him. "That cat doesn't like anybody, but she likes you."
"Apparently." Anubin offered the cat to the shopkeeper, but he shook his head.
"You keep 'er. She likes you, and she won't sell in the shop on account of being all torn up like that. Have 'er."
Anubin looked at the cat again. She seemed content, despite the awkward way she was being held. Anubin put her down on the ground, and she immediately pressed herself into his shins.
"I am most grateful," Anubin said. He continued on down the alleyway, the cat following at his heels, along with Vowrawn and MInerva.
