Hello!! I was wondering how the ROs would react if MC just picked them up randomly (or because they were excited) and carried them like,, bride style or smt avsbsvhsjsb
I'm sick again and incapable of reading so I read "bride style" as "bird style" and was like ??? How do you carry someone bird style snsnsndb anyway-
Rook: Gives a surprised laugh and demands to be let down, when you refuse with a mischievous grin, his eyes narrow and promises to get you back
Beck: Blinks at suddenly finding himself being carried, but goes along with it. Wraps his arms around your neck and leans his head in the junction between your shoulder and neck
Rhea: "What are you doing-?" Throws her arms around you on instinct and presses herself close as she suddenly is no longer touching the floor. Takes a moment to realize what she did, and quickly loosens her grip and gives you a questioning look at your antics
Zoe: Is so startled and wide eyed as you suddenly sweep them up. Their hands flutter around your shoulder for a second before they cling on to steady themselves. Gives a frown bordering on a pout as they ask to be let down
Lars: He is Not Happy. Pulls away, trying to get down, and if you hold fast it practically turns into some kind of competition. Grumbles about how much he can't stand you and your antics
???: Incredibly delighted. Would gladly go along with the situation even if they do ask why the sudden need to sweep them off their feet. (You already have you know). Is probably the most comfortable in the situation of all the ROs

A Solid Foundation
Builder!Bucky Barnes x Fiancé!Fem!Reader
Summary: Your best friend suspects your fiancé of having an affair when he starts working late, but Bucky would never cheat on you, right?
Warnings: slight angst - discussion of Bucky potentially cheating (no actual cheating), soft fluff
Word count: 2.4k
A/N: thank you so much for this gorgeous inspiration my love 💕 this is my second entry for the Connect 4: Into an Alternate June-iverse Event by @buckybarnesevents, for the prompt ‘Modern AU’. Banners by @vase-of-lilies
Masterlist | Ask me anything! | Library
Tumblr media
“Where’s Bucky? You two just got engaged, I would have thought he’d barely be able to keep his hands off you - he does at the best of times.” Nat jokes before taking a sip of her wine.
She had been stopping off at your apartment on her way home to drop some supplies for your engagement party next weekend, when you invited her to stay for a drink, wanting to take your mind off your fiancés absence.
“He’s been working late recently.” You try to say nonchalantly, but Nat’s far too observant to miss the disheartened edge to your voice.
“He’s a builder. Start early, finish early, what’s he doing still working at 6:30?” You didn’t know the answer to that question. And though part of you is curious as to what he’s up to, you’re also nervous to find out the truth.
It’s Bucky, the man who has loved you through every high and low, treasured every part of you, especially on those days where your insecurities were at their worst. Who has done the silliest, most embarrassing things just to hear your laugh. Who trusted you enough to reveal his deepest trauma, who comes to your arms for comfort through every nightmare.
You find it difficult to believe that man would be capable of hurting you, even knowing he hadn’t been completely forthcoming with you the past few weeks.
“I’m not sure, he’s been a little secretive since we got engaged. I don’t wanna push him to talk about it, I just wish he knew he can trust me with whatever it is.” You say as Nat supportively takes your hand, something of sympathy in her eyes.
“Oh sweetie, you are far too pure for this world. Working late, the ring, the secrecy - has it crossed your mind that he might be having an affair?”
“It crossed my mind for half a second before I scolded myself. It’s Bucky, he would never cheat on me.” You state with conviction, the memory of each night you’ve fallen to a peaceful sleep in Bucky’s arms only supporting your belief that he would never put himself in that position with someone else.
“As much as I want to believe you, you know I’m a cynic. In my experience men are pigs, you give them an inch and they take a mile. I know he’s sweet and you love him, but at the end of the day, he is a man.”
But Nat doesn’t know Bucky intimately like you do, hasn’t experienced his selfless and generous heart day after day for the past two years, hasn’t been loved all-encompassingly by him like you have.
You’ve never even thought to question his loyalty to you - Bucky has never given you reason to.
You hear keys rattle in the front door and shoot Nat a look which unquestionably screams don’t bring this up.
Bucky smiles instantly when he sees you seated at the dining table, that same adoration and serenity brimming in his eyes as when he always comes home to you. Though you do notice his skin is somewhat flushed, as if he’s just been physically exerting himself, his hair looks a complete mess and appears slightly darker with sweat.
You know exactly what’s running through Nat’s mind at this very moment.
“I’m gonna let you two talk.” She declares with a perceptible tension in her tone as she stands and grabs her purse. “But I swear if you ever hurt her Bucko, you’ll die a slow, painful death.” She vows with a glare that seals her promise. Though you know Nat well enough to perceive she isn’t joking, Bucky seems to think she’s kidding.
“Duly noted Nattie.” He chuckles as he watches Nat shoot you an encouraging look and then make her way out the front door Bucky just walked through. “What was that all about?”
“She’s just being protective.” You justify, not knowing how to, nor really wanting to tell him that your best friend suspects he’s having an affair. “I told her you’d been working late recently.”
“What… she thinks I should instead be here doting on you hand and foot?” Bucky asks as he moves behind where you’re seated, his hands reach for the back of your neck and begin massaging the tension from your shoulders which had built up from your long week at work. “You know I’d much prefer to be here with you than working.” You shudder slightly at his words as he places a gentle kiss to the skin where your neck curves into your shoulder, your body subconsciously revealing that you don’t fully believe he was working.
“What’s wrong, doll?” He asks, feeling your muscles tense even further underneath his hands, and you internally curse yourself for letting Nat’s speculation get under your skin.
“Where were you tonight?” It’s a simple, four word question, yet the weight of significance on his answer feels like your whole world could start crumbling before you depending on his response.
“I told you this morning: Steve needed me working late.” Bucky replies without hesitation. It’s a straightforward answer, yet there’s something about it you can’t quite believe - a half truth that he’s practised too much that doesn’t quite feel natural. “Why do you ask?” There’s a hint of worry to his voice, as if you’re getting a little too close to something he’d like to keep to himself.
“Nat thinks ‘working late’ is code for you cheating on me.” You comment, placing all the blame on your friends postulation rather than your own curiosity.
You hope Bucky won’t hate you too much for indulging in your friends theory, that he won’t completely resent you for insinuating he’s been unfaithful. Because you don’t think he’s cheating on you, but you also don’t believe he was working late tonight.
Instead, Bucky steps towards you and tentatively places two gentle fingers under your chin, tilting your face so that you’re gazing directly into his vulnerable, sincere eyes.
“Doll, you know I would never, ever, hurt you like that. I love you, you’re my whole world, I wanna marry you and spend the rest of my days making you feel as loved and cherished as you make me feel.” You sense the heaviness of your engagement ring on your left hand, you’re still getting used to carrying the small weight of it around with you everyday, though right now it feels substantial.
“I know you wouldn’t Buck, but since you proposed you’ve been a little secretive. Long days, working weekends. I mean you have to admit it’s slightly suspicious.”
He sighs, coming to some sort of internal decision when his gaze meets yours again. His thumb brushes over your bottom lip and for a moment you think he’s going to kiss you in an attempt to distract you from the topic of discussion.
“I promise you, I can explain everything, but I think it would be easier to show you.” His hands snake down your arms and when he takes both your hands, pulls you from your seated position at the dining table.
“Show me?” You query, having no idea what that could indicate he’s been keeping to himself.
“Yeah, care for a drive?”
* * *
The night is dark as you sit in the passenger seat watching the world pass you by, the empty roads only lit by periodically placed street lamps and the bright headlights of Bucky’s truck.
You have no idea where he’s taking you - you’ve never been to this part of town before and have no preconceived ideas as to what being here indicates for his unplanned surprise.
Bucky drives with one hand on the steering wheel, the other rests comfortingly on your thigh, an indicator that he’s not upset about you insinuating he could be having an affair, and that where he’s taking you to is not a revelation you should be anxious about.
Soon enough he turns down an innocuous street and pulls the car to a slow stop. You're in the middle of a suburban area with expansive blocks of land, stopped a few metres behind an SUV that has stickers of a family of five and a dog on their back window. Looking over at Bucky, you find he’s staring at you with an excited expectancy from the driver's seat.
You turn to look out the car window and the reason Bucky’s been ‘working late’ hits you like a bus.
You’re parked in front of a half built house - at the moment it’s just studs and partitions, with an unemptied skip out the front, but you can see the skeleton of a beautifully spacious two story house.
He’s building you a home.
“Bucky…” You comment under your breath, unable to articulate the swarm of thoughts buzzing around your head and the pure love blooming in your chest like a flower as he rounds the car and opens the passenger door for you.
“I know it doesn’t look like much yet, it’s just the frame and foundation, but soon there will be a roof, walls, windows, and a proper floor. It’ll really start taking shape.” He's nervous, you can tell by his shaky tone of voice, which you find adorable.
“You’re building us a house?” Your stomach contorts with guilt when he smiles crookedly and nods. How could you have ever been suspicious of his long working hours when they were spent building a physical monument to his love for you?
“I wanted to build our dream house, somewhere we can grow old together.” Your heart just about bursts when these words fall from his lips. Though the night is dark, the moon and the small torch Bucky keeps in his truck are the only source of light available, you can see the fondness in his eyes.
You give him a sweet kiss before approaching the house, an outline in chalk on the ground indicates where a front porch will be built and the entry to the house is currently only the rectangular frame of timber.
Bucky starts walking you through the house hand in hand, explaining what he had planned each room to be used for. There's only wooden studs outlining every room and a concrete slab for a floor, but you can already imagine what the space will look like when it’s all complete.
The entry foyer has high ceilings where you can currently see the stars shining, a large winding staircase connects the ground floor with the one above. To one side is a large garage, an offset office and bathroom, to the other has a large sitting room.
As Bucky pulls you further into the structure, the house opens up to a large, open plan living area. You can picture cooking together in the kitchen, room enough for a large island where you can sit and watch as Bucky cooks you breakfast, sneaking kisses in between breaking eggs. A smile grows on your features as you imagine what the future holds for you two, and what you envisage is beautiful.
He shows you where he thinks the lounge room television would go, before steering you to the right to an open room where the walls don’t have horizontal studs like all the other rooms you’ve seen so far.
“And this will be your sunroom.” He comments, eying you with a smile as your jaw drops in awe.
“A sunroom?” You ask as your voice cracks and hot tears well in your eyes.
Your dream house always seemed so far out of reach, you wondered if you would ever earn enough to own a place of your own. But it didn’t stop you from wishing for your dream house. That concept had changed over the years, but the one aspect which remained the same was it containing a sunroom. A place where you could sit in quiet contemplation and read your plethora of novels in peace, the warm afternoon sun heating the room as you draped your legs over beloveds, finding tranquillity together.
Bucky really is making all your dreams come true.
“It wouldn’t be our dream home if we didn’t have the sunroom you always wished for. This entire wall will be a huge built-in bookshelf, then the rest will be just glass, looking out over our backyard and have the perfect view of the setting sun.”
You find yourself completely lost for words, unable to articulate how remarkable this entire house is, that he built it for you, and how you will forever come home to a physical reminder of just how much Bucky loves you.
“If there’s anything you don’t like I’ll change it. I want it to be perfect, I want you to love it.” He says as if he can’t see that you already adore every inch of the house he’s built, thinking that your silence indicates aversion rather than pure amazement.
“Bucky, it’s already perfect.” You lean over to kiss him, slow and sweet, because you need to express the overwhelming gratitude and affection for him doing something so special for you. “I’m sorry I ever doubted you when you were putting in your spare hours to build us a home.”
“I’m the one who should be sorry, doll, I shouldn’t have lied to you about where I was and what I was doing, but I wanted it to be a surprise.” His arms snake around your middle and pull you closer to him so none of the cool night air separates you.
“It is a surprise, such a wonderful surprise. I love you so much and I can’t wait to spend our life together here.” You say, looking up at him with wide eyes, only closing them to kiss the stubble on his sharp jawline.
“I love you more than you’ll ever know.” Bucky places a kiss to your forehead, his voice soft but heartfelt and full of tenderness.
For a moment you stay cuddled into his strong, warm chest, his arms gently stroking up and down your back in soothing motions, feeling completely loved and so excited to start your marriage in a new home together.
“Will you show me the bedrooms upstairs?” You ask with a small voice, part of you not wanting to move from Bucky’s embrace, but also intrigued to see how much more work he’s done in the name of love for you.
“Of course, my love.”
He kisses you once more, for emphasis, before guiding you carefully upstairs to show you the spacious master bedroom where you will be spending your first nights as a married couple.

Can I request some reader and Steve on Halloween after their babies have gone to bed and the two parents enjoying their alone time on the couch watching movies and going through their kids candy
UGH my heart!! sorry it’s so late on halloween, but i hope you enjoy anyways 💛 dad!steve & mom!reader; wc 904
-
You’re sitting on the couch, feet kicked up in the coffee table, going through a bag of candy by the time Steve finally re-emerges from your middle child’s bedroom. You hear the shuffle of his feet against the hardwood floor that creaks in certain well-worn areas, and your head shoots up, grinning at the sight of your sleepy husband. His hair is floppy and falling into his face, a pair of glasses perched on his nose, and he’s wearing sweatpants and an old shirt that reveals a bit of tan skin when he stretches and then cards his hands through his hair. He yawns as he makes his way over to you, shaking his head as if to try to wake himself up, “Molly finally fell asleep.”
“Took long enough,” you snort. He’d been in her room for nearly half an hour.
“She just kept talking and talking, no matter how much I tried to get her to go to sleep. She didn’t say it, but I think she was scared she’d have bad dreams,” Steve shakes his head again, this time fondly as he drops onto the couch next to you.
“Our sweet girl,” you frown, leaning into your husband’s side, “Too delicate for even Halloween, huh?” Molly’s your sensitive child, always emotional and in tune with what everyone else is feeling, always takes things to heart.
“Well, to be fair, that asshole a few blocks over did scare them. I get scaring some kids, but did Winnie the Pooh, a fairy princess, and Raggedy Ann look like they wanted to be scared?” Steve’s still annoyed, you can tell, even though he’d yelled at the twenty-something jerk who had made his babies cry.
“She was just surprised, she’ll be okay,” you comfort Steve, the palm of your hand landing on his thigh as he grumbles and pouts, not unlike your kids do. “Will you be okay? Or do we need to cancel our yearly Halloween movie marathon and candy stealing?”
He perks up at that and presses a kiss to your temple, “No, no, we definitely can’t cancel that.” For as long as you’ve been with Steve, Halloween night was reserved for a scary movie marathon for the two of you, and sometimes a couple of friends. And once you had kids old enough to trick-or-treat, you’d started rummaging through their haul, taking what you wanted for yourselves. They never noticed, and they never ate all of their candy, anyway.
You squeeze Steve’s knee, cheek smushed into Steve’s shoulder as you move in closer, “Okay, good. Woulda been real upset to have to miss out on that. What should we watch first?”
Steve lets you choose first, so you’re quick to get up and put on Hocus Pocus. It’s definitely not Steve’s first pick, but it’s not a bad choice. You quickly rejoin Steve on the couch, sitting next to him closer than necessary, though he doesn’t mind at all, and you throw a blanket over your laps. He makes a big show of pretending to yawn, like boys would do in high school, stretching his arms over his head before casually resting the one closest to you over your shoulders. It makes you burst into giggles, both slightly flustered, and endeared to your husband’s ridiculous antics. The fact that he still makes you feel like this, even after all your years together, doesn’t escape you, and you snuggle into his side, pressing your cheek to his chest, “You’ve still got the moves, Harrington.”
You can feel his laugh under your cheek, his chest heaving with it as he says, “What can I say? Still gotta impress my girl.”
“It’s working,” you reply, resting your hand over his heart.
Silence falls over the two of you as the movie begins to play, until Steve’s foot nudges one of the kids’ bag of candy on the table that you’d previously been digging through. He shoots up, eyes wide as he grabs the three bags of candy, dropping them in your laps, “We almost forgot the most important part. What do you want? If you say something gross like almond joy, I’m divorcing you.”
“Steve, I literally saw you eat a handful of candy corn earlier. A literal handful.”
“Candy corn is a must on Halloween!” Steve gasps a bit too loudly, indignant, and totally forgetting that you have three kids who just went to sleep.
You quickly slap a hand over his mouth, covering your own laughter, “Shh! Don’t wake the kids!”
Eyes wide, Steve realizes what he’s done, and you both wait with bated breath, desperately hoping you don’t hear any tiny feet in the hallway. When a minute passes without any doors creaking open, you turn your attention back to your husband, who is in the middle of licking the palm of your hand to get it off of his mouth.
You nearly shriek but manage to hold it in, working your hand against Steve’s sweatshirt, “Ugh. Disgusting.”
“You love me,” he says, so confidently, so assuredly, you couldn’t deny it even if you wanted to (and you definitely don’t want to).
“Yeah, I do, Stevie. You can make it up to me with a kiss and a peanut butter cup, though.”
Steve picks out a pumpkin shaped peanut butter cup and presents it to you, his free hand cupping your jaw for a soft peck on the lips, “That I can do.”

I was just thinking about Nandor saying Guillermo could pass as an orc. We just saw how the fairytale stereotypes are often wrong with the fairies. So like, what if its the same for orcs and they are actually really attractive. And Nandor was coyly trying to compliment Guillermo?
Oh my god you might be onto something, I fucking LOVE this. Because of course Nandor the Clueless would think of something he finds attractive, try to compare Guillermo to it, not realise that humans think orcs are big ugly beasts, and be uncomfortable when his plan backfires and Guillermo is offended.
Lmfao but like imagine Guillermo mentioning it to Laszlo for some reason and Laszlo’s like “well isn’t that a compliment?” and Guillermo goes “obviously not???? he called me an orc?????” and Laszlo gives a long-suffering sigh and is like “First the boy now you… listen here Gizmo, I’ve got to give you a lesson in fairytales and reality.”
And that is how Guillermo finds out Nandor was actually going “hey Guillermo you’re pretty hot”

So how would our Ro's deal with the classic there was only one bed scenario? (Dating)
Rook: If you managed to finally get to the dating stage with him, he isn't going to hesitate or be weird about the situation. He'll double check to make sure you're comfortable with it, but otherwise the only issue is if you're going to get any sleep-
Beck: He's pretty used to sharing beds with loved ones, be it family, friends, or romantic partners. It's easy for him to curl up against you, and you'll probably have one of those late night conversations of nothing at all before you finally drift off
Rhea: Is a bit awkward about it, but goes about it as normally as possible. When the two of you slip into bed, she's hyper aware of you next to her, and she feels every breath. You guys might be dating, but she's so aware she hardly gets any sleep through the night, too focused on you
Zoe: Immediately offers to sleep up on the couch, unsure if you're comfortable with the idea yet, or even if they're comfortable with the idea yet. When you convince them it's fine, they're stiff as a board next to you, but feeling your warmth slowly makes them relax until they can finally drift off
Lars: Gives a snide joke about how you're the one getting the couch, although if you actually try to, he'll drag you to the bed aslfjsa. Pretends to be fine with it, but the vulnerability of falling asleep next to someone is so hard for him. He has to remind himself it's you and you're safe, before he can at least manage to close his eyes.
???: They're so used to being with you when you drift off to sleep mentally, that being next to you physically doesn't feel much different, except. They can see you, and hear you, and feel you. It might be the easiest they've slept their whole life.

"Idk if your requests are open but if they are could you write where Jay’s s/o watched the new concept trailer & they’re jealous of that girl😭like even tho they’re dating cuz who is this girl that’s against your chest & putting her lips on his neck" sunghoon ver.?
Tumblr media
lollll this is so funny to me. when the trailer came out i told everyone that if they write or find fics inspired by the trailer to tell me about them so i could read them (and not write them myself 😭) but here i am,, writing them myself 😭 how did this even happen? idek 😭 but this idea do be giving me butterflies frfr
Tumblr media
a disbelieving scoff filled the room as it brushed past your lips.
“what is she doing to you?!” you cried. “what are you doing to her?!”
sunghoon smirked, with his tongue poking his cheek.
he had put enhypen’s new comeback trailer on the tv displayed in front of you two, showing off to you what he and his group had been working on. but you were not having it.
sunghoon started, “i think i kinda like this look on you.”
“what look?”
“you’re jealous,” he drew out. such a tease.
“i’m not jealous! you should just know that a golden rule for boyfriend duty is to not do obvious things like treat other girls—who are not your girlfriend!—in a romantic manner!” you argued back.
“and how exactly did i break this said rule?” he questioned, perking a brow.
“uhm?! let me see,” you got your counting fingers ready. “protecting her, making her laugh, making her cry tears of joy, fighting for her, hugging her… the list goes on, hoon! you even hurt your members for her!”
“it was only acting, y/n. it’s different.”
“ah—no. no, no, no,” you said. “you don’t get to use that as an excuse! what about my feelings?” you looked down with sad eyes as you let out your last words under your breath, really only for you to hear, “you’re mine.”
“what was that? i didn’t catch that,” sunghoon said with an evident smirk plastered on his face. well, according to that look, he most definitely did hear you. he just wanted to hear it again.
“you’re mine,” you let out out weakly.
“of course you are,” he said, smiling as he reached out and pulled you into his chest. “and that’s exactly why you are and always will be the only one who i will allow myself to love like i love you.”
“and how exactly so?” you asked playfully, peaking up at him. “show me.”
he smiled before pulling you up with his hands cupping your jaw, bringing you closer until his soft lips connected with yours.
he kissed you, and continued doing so until either of your breaths were stolen away, and you pulled back, meeting his eyes, panting, only to find he was already looking into yours.
“convinced now?”
after that kiss? yes, it was a very good reminder. but you wanted more.
you shook your head.
“well then, let me see what i can do about that,” he said with a smirk before pulling you over his lap, pressing his lips against yours passionately for another many more.
Tumblr media
a/n. y’all requests are closed 😭 this was fun, but no more please 😭

If I Can’t Have Everything, Then Let Me Just Have You
Andy Barber x Fem!Reader
Summary: When Andy gets jealous of you talking with his colleague, you reassure him he’s everything you’ll ever need.
Warnings: age gap and although exact ages are never mentioned everyone is well and truly of age, jealous Andy
Word count: 700
A/N: this is for @nickfowlerrr’s the seven writing challenge - I spun the wheel for the seven deadly sins and got envy. A big thank you my darling friend @flordeamatista, queen of Andy fics, for not only providing the inspiration for this fic, but helping me with writing Andy for the first time and being my constant cheerleader 🩷 banners by @vase-of-lilies
Masterlist | Ask me anything! | Library
Tumblr media
Andy hated attending after work functions with his colleagues. He could barely stand dealing with them during the working week, but then to also be forced to give up his Saturday night so his boss could show off the house his old family money had bought him was another level of torture.
You were his saving grace. Part of him felt guilty for dragging the woman he loved along to these grandstanding cocktail parties where you were forced to make small talk with people you didn’t enjoy the company of, but you were also the only person who stopped him from going completely insane.
But at this moment, while he was stuck hearing about how his boss’s fantasy football team was performing, as if he didn’t hear enough about it at the office, Andy saw red as he was subjected to watch Dylan, the office womaniser, chatting you up.
In the back of his mind he knew with absolute certainty that you wouldn’t cheat on him, but the reason his heart clenched and acidic jealousy bubbled in his stomach was because of what Dylan represented: everything Andy couldn’t offer you.
He wasn’t young anymore, he was well aware the prime of his life was past him at this point in time. He had settled into a comfortable routine which didn’t involve a thriving social life which he remembered having with Laurie when they were your age. He was surely not as flexible or had as much energy as a young man fifteen years his junior.
He wanted to be able to give you the world, but all he had to offer was the trauma developed from his tarnished past, which was still following him around like a shadow, his back problems, wonky knee and the remainder of his life which would be distinctly shorter than Dylan, or someone of his age, could promise to spend with you.
The root of his envy was insecurity.
And he was green with envy.
Excusing himself from the one-sided conversation his boss was having, Andy set off with purpose, making a beeline to you, only to find you were already making your way over to him. Relief eased the tension in his shoulders as your gaze found his and a smile tugged at the corners of your mouth.
“Your colleague, the guy behind me, is a creep.” You commented, hooking your fingers through his belt loops and pulling him protectively into you. Andy leaned down and placed a small, sweet kiss to your forehead, not needing to look behind you to know exactly who you were referring to. A sense of satisfaction filled his chest with the notion that you were clearly averse to Dylan’s pursuits.
“That’s not what most young women around the office think.”
“Well he is.” You stated firmly, a look of disgust flashing over your features. “Why does it take me telling him I have a boyfriend to respect that I’m not interested. Why would I want a boy like him, when I already have a man like you?”
Andy smiled, coming to the realisation that he had no reason to be jealous. Perhaps he couldn’t offer you his callow youth, but he did have maturity and experience, which would surely be much more valuable in a devoted relationship.
“You are a dream come true, you know that?” In response to this you scrunched your nose and smiled in a way that made Andy’s heart fill with pure adoration and devotion.
You truly were all he would ever need for the remainder of his life.
“You’re my dream come true too, Andy.” Standing on your tiptoes, arms sling around his neck, you placed a delicate kiss against his lips, neither of you paying any mind to his colleagues who could be watching on. “You’re everything I’ve ever dreamed of.”
Taking a beat to commit the moment to memory, Andy made a promise to himself that he would never take his second chance at love for granted.
“Let’s go home, handsome.” You suggested, tugging gently on his tie with that mischievous grin which always promised a sinfully pleasurable time. “I have plans for us that definitely don’t involve the rest of you colleagues.”

Chenford + Love Confession ❤️
Lucy pulled the blue cotton sheet higher over her chest, holding the fabric there as she sat upwards on the bed. Suddenly, she felt undoubtedly exposed.
"You're leaving."
A stillness fell over the bedroom, while her thoughts ran freely. The silence was deafening, maddening, and done nothing to help the pounding sensation that was currently happening inside her head.
She found a scoff falling past her lips, an odd mixture of shame and disbelief before she pulled her mouth closed, rolling her tongue along the inside of her cheek.
It seemed as though that was all the man, who stood at the foot of her four-poster bed needed.
Hastily he tucked the grey t-shirt that had once been on her bedroom floor, back into the waistband of his jeans. Normally Lucy would have found herself staring unabashedly, but this time, it was different.
"What else did you expect?"
Last night when he eased her back on the couch, she had drunkenly hoped that something had changed, that he had changed. Even when he had whispered, 'Nothing's changed Luce.' against the curve of her neck.
She had been an idiot for ever letting him through her front door.
Humorlessly she released a laugh, removing her hand away from her chest as the sheet pooled around her waist. She gestured animatedly in front of her, "I expected us to finally talk about it!"
His ministrations faltered, his hands pausing with his black leather belt mid loop. Not once did his stare waver from her own, giving her every bit of the non-answer she needed. They were never going to talk about it, certainly not now anyways.
Lucy turned her head towards the window, ignoring the pain that was spreading like a wildfire inside her chest. She could see that dawn was rapidly approaching outside, the early morning light casting her room in a paleness that matched the mood inside the room.
"You lost the right to show up here and fuck me when you broke up with me, Tim."
Had her stare been turned towards the man in question, she would have seen him flinch.
"That's not-"
"Then what was it?" Bitterly she laughed with the turn of her head. "What was last night? This morning? A drunken mistake? A lapse in judgement? Why did you even come here?"
Silently she pleaded for the tears that were welling in her eyes to hold off for just a minute longer.
Tim done nothing more than gape at her, his mouth wordlessly opening and closing as her words rendering him speechless, tilting his world a little further off its axis.
"Did you mean it?" Her voice was low, roughened with traces of sleep and the weight of holding back a dam of emotions from cascading over the top.
Her question brought him out of his stupor.
He tried hiding the shift of weight from one foot to the other. He tried hardening, schooling his features into one that hid his emotions. He tried containing the clenching of his jaw and the flexing of his hands.
He may have tried, but he undoubtedly failed.
"Mean what?"
"What you told me last night."
She blinked once, a rogue tear sliding down the slope of her cheek but she never made the motion to swipe it away.
The look Tim had been projecting, fell away within the blink of an eye. It was once again every bit of an answer, but she needed to hear him say it again.
"Of course I do, Lucy." His voice was as soft as the look he was giving her, soft yet firm. Almost as though he would vehemently deny ever being told otherwise. "I'll always love you."
"But?" She whispered, bringing her knees up to her chest as he moved around to what had long since been her side of the bed.
Lucy knew what he was about to do when he bent at the knee, the fingers of his left hand becoming entangled in her coffee colored strands. She could have stopped him, should have stopped him. But she couldn't find it in herself to.
His lips pressed against her forehead softly, lingering for a second. Two. Five before he pulled away to look at her in earnest. His thumb swiped across her cheek as he tenderly told her to, "Get some rest."
The tears began to fall more freely as he walked out of the room, but her sobs only start after hearing the soft click that came from the front door.
Lucy thought she knew heartbreak but this... this was worse than any stab wound or gun shot. This was something that permeated itself deep into her heart, her soul, her mind, and the only cure had readily sealed their fate.

Tell us more about Martin!
my grad student is not here yet and I have a lot to say so [cracks knuckles] here we go
so what I think characterization of Martin has gotten a bit skewed (influenced, most likely, by subjective feelings toward the actor who played him—no judgment, of course! it's just that that's not the guy that Tito Juan wrote!) is that Martin's central conflict is not really a question of 'self versus circumstances' (see the frequent woobification, the reduction of others' character traits [Carolyn in particular] to serve this viewpoint) but of identity and control over it.
if there's one thing that marks Martin as a character, it's his frequent and incessant compulsion to self-identify, and demand that the people around him fall in line with how he sees himself. in the first few minutes of Abu Dhabi, Martin (1) demands that Douglas refer to him by an honorific he only passingly deserves and (2) corrects his superior on his job title. what makes Martin unpleasant is not necessarily how he always wants to be seen as having more authority than he is capable of holding; it's the control he's desperate to have over how others see him. that's another thing i think that fanon doesn't quite address fully: how Martin's character is tied so closely to desperation. this desperation ties in to how he will do anything and everything for control over how he is perceived (and treated because of that perception) throughout the show, selected examples including:
"The front seat is my seat [...] I'm the captain" - Abu Dhabi. bruh you're in a car. that's annoying af
Martin demanding to talk to Leeman because he's the captain, even though it ends disastrously ("You can't speak to me like that. I'm the captain!") - Boston
Martin getting flattered over how Kieran initially perceives him, followed by him clocking a child at the end of the episode when Kieran says "all this time I actually thought you were a proper captain" - Helsinki. this one is really telling: up to this point, Martin is such a suckup to a child, just because that child happened to treat him in a flattering way. at the point where Kieran makes it clear he no longer respects Martin the way Martin wants him to, he gets to the point of making it physical. talk about desperation!
"I really want [Nancy] to think of me as a professional" -Qikiqtarjuaq. and there he admits it!
and so on and so forth.
Martin's identity revolves around being in command and being in the sky. he cannot define himself in a meaningful way apart from the stripes on his sleeves. what's more, the sky is literally the one thing he's got. it's the only thing he ever dreamed of, it's the only thing he's ever going to do, it's the only thing he can even think of being. his self does not exist in tandem with that; his self exists within that and nowhere else. because of this, and coupled with his desperation, he is willing to throw all else (his physical comfort, his interpersonal relationships, his mental state) out the window to satisfy that hunger. the sky is greedy, and he is willing to give it all that he has if only to satiate it.
however, it's not all doom and gloom for Martin—and I don't see any of that as reason to begrudge other people for liking him. I just think that all these negative aspects of Martin's character are glossed over or overlooked; just as characters like Carolyn are reduced to serve a fanon interpretation of him, he himself has been reduced by not taking into account how messed up he was initially. what makes Martin so interesting as a character is how he finds the capacity to move forward from how he is at the beginning of the show: how he grows, and how his frequent humblings make that growth possible.
as with a lot of things, I genuinely think Newcastle was one of the big turning points of Martin's character (yes, I know Q comes after N but Qik aired first, so there)(yes, I know I'm always talking about Newcastle but it's one of the best Cabin Pressure episodes and I will never give that up), especially in the character of Linda (yes, I know I'm literally always talking about her but I THINK SHE'S IMPORTANT TO MARTIN'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL)
Linda is, quite frankly, everything Martin wishes he could be. working at a airline with jets in the plural, confident and poised, obviously knowledgeable about aviation (but not snobby about it)... I don't think Martin ever really had a crush on Linda. he just wanted to be her. this makes Linda's parting words to him at the end of her time in the show so meaningful—she tells him that he would actually be approachable and funny (things he utterly fails at being throughout the show) if he just loosened up.
I think Martin learned from that: and that's why he winds up where he does in the end. for this I want to turn to Martin's last interview scene in Yverdon-les-Bains.
Douglas and Carolyn advise him to be a different version of himself, and I think he takes it, finally, but not really in the way they mean. because the Martin to whom Bider offers the Swiss position is not the version of Martin we meet.
"I'm good enough [...] but I don't do it easily. It's not second nature to me. [...] I used to be a zero [...] and then I was a one, and then a two, and then a three, and now I'm a four." Here he's learned to put himself in context; he shows that he has learned humility.
"And I'm not finished yet. And that's why you should employ me [...] If you're not naturally good [...] then you have have to be a perfectionist[...] And that's why even when you've turned me down, I'm gonna keep on applying because flying is the perfect job and I won't settle for a life where I don't get to do it." In the end, it's not a bad thing that Martin is in such dogged pursuit of a dream that he's probably not naturally cut out for. BUT what makes Martin so real is that he now respects himself enough to know that (1) he won't just settle and (2) he's not a victim of circumstance but a hard worker.
Martin openly admits, at the end of the show, that the thing that he has self-defined with for so long is not something that comes naturally to him. he acknowledges and understands that he has limitations (how far a cry from "I'm the Captain, I am the Supreme Commander"!) and most of all, he reframes what is, truly, real determination in the context of his need to adapt who he is to what he wants to become. this is the Martin to whom the job is offered. this is the Martin that I most adore.
much can be said about natural talent, and natural inclination. but i think so much more can be said about people who aren't naturally inclined to the dreams they aspire to, and who respect themselves enough not just to continue pursuing those dreams, but to make sure they don't break beneath their weight. whether that be a man who failed his license to be a pilot several times and wound up in a position at an internationally serving flagship airline. whether that be my beloved violin teacher who, even though she's one of the most incredible musicians i know, always tells me about how she lacks a natural inclination toward her instrument and has to work hard to adapt to it. or whether that be a young aspiring materials scientist who got a 2 out of 5 on the AP Physics exam in high school, got rejected from several of the top schools for their discipline, had to retake physics in university, and wound up as an undergraduate instructor and mentor.
what makes Martin relatable isn't just that he's awkward, or isn't the best socially. what makes Martin so real, in the end, is the change he overcomes to pursue the sky, and how he gets there with determination.
and that's why Martin is my favorite character.

Yang being attracted to (and potentially flirting with) wonder woman is so funny to me because not once have we ever seen her show interest in anyone but Blake like that. Crwby must have told the writer from dc who wrote the movie that yang is a girl kisser in v9, and she went "alright, bet." I think (pre-v9) yang deserves to flirt with other girls as a treat. (Also so people can stop with the yang can't be a lesbian because blake is the only girl she's shown interest on screen argument💀)
as a lesbian yang fan i'm taking this as a huge win. i just think she should thirst after women. mostly blake. but also wonder woman lmao. as a gay treat.

howdy! just saw your post ("are you normal about loveless people") and i just. wanted to know what being a loveless person means? this question comes from a place of curiosity and wanting to understand!! not any ill will or anything :3
so i don't know that i'll define this as well as other people might be able to, but i'll do my best!
loveless aromantics are aros who have decided to basically reject all forms of love, especially as a response to the overarching idea that aros "can still love" even if we don't experience romantic attraction. in general, loveless people are disconnected or don't identify with the idea of love in any forms, or they consider themselves unable to feel love, or they've rejected the concept of love.
the post i made was about how in the aro community there's a growing dislike towards the idea of amatonormativity (the idea that all people pursue a long-term monogamous romantic and sexual relationship), but often that dislike is filled with "well if we don't love romantically we can still love in other ways!" which excludes loveless aros (who reject love in all forms)
anyone else who's loveless feel free to add stuff !!
