hello ! i didn’t know that you were taking requests omg i would have spam you sooner. i don’t know if you have seen enzo’s last ig story in snow but ommmg if you could write a fluffy request based on that story
like reader wakes up and she doesn’t find him, she just found a little note that he went walking into the forest so she goes back to sleep and when she wakes up after, she opens her insta and found his ig story. immediately she tells him to come back in their apartment bc she’s terribly afraid he might get lost in the snow or catch a big cold
he’s like no never im strong and i survived lsdln lmfao but when he comes back even though he doesn’t want to admit it, he’s completely frozen and he starts to sneeze and he’s starting to be really sick so reader has to pamper him 🥺🥺 warm a hot bath for him, prepare a soup or a tea, put him in bed.
like i just imagine them being in bed after he supplied her to stay in bed and reader telling him next time stop playing enzo the snow king bc look at you right now baby you have fever and you’re hiding inside my sweater 😭 and him still doesn’t want to admit that he took a big risk for his health, being like « who told u i’m not faking being sick just to sleep under you pullover next to your/my 🍒 » 🤭🤭
okay my imagination might be too big lol
Tumblr media
Lucia’s Notes: I love this request dear nonnie, because I feel like he’d be like a little boy when sick. I hope you enjoy this little drabble.
Content Warning: I don’t think there are any warnings, this is just fluff.

"Winter's warmth"| Enzo Vogrincic
You wake up when the lack of Enzo’s warm body against yours hits you like a ton of bricks and turn around looking for him curling more into the blankets to shield yourself from the cold of the outside world. As you look around you find a little note on his bedside table and grab it to read it “Morning honey, woke up early and decided to take a stroll around the woods, love you xo. En” You look out the window and see the clouded snowy picture burying yourself back into your blankets and going back to sleep.
An hour or so later, you finally open your eyes and grab your phone to start roaming all the social media and messages you might have missed. When you finally fall onto Instagram Enzo’s story is the first one up there, you click on it to see what your fugitive boyfriend’s been up to while you slept in. One look at his snow-covered hair is enough to make you shoot up on the bed sitting up hastily calling this crazy man you call yours. As soon as you hear the click on the line of the call being picked up you say “Enzo Vogrincic Roldan, what the fuck are you doing out there with this snowstorm!? You’re gonna get sick, you could get lost even!” the tone of your voice rising in alarm at the thought of your boyfriend wandering too far from the apartment you rented for your holiday and not being able to find his way back safely. 
You hear his low melodious lazy laugh on the other end of the call “Good morning to you too chiquita, don’t worry about it, I’m not far and I’ve figured out how to get back, and as to getting sick, I would never, I survived filming La sociedad, remember? I’m immune to cold” You roll your eyes at his stupid bravado “Don’t roll your eyes baby, I’m fine, I’ll be there soon with some pastries for breakfast, you get some coffee started, will you?” you sigh getting up “just come back love”. As you hang up you get up putting on one of his sweaters that are just lying around the room before heading to the kitchen smiling at the fireplace in the living room. Just as you’re pouring the mugs of hot coffee Enzo walks into the apartment ruffling the snow off his long raven-colored locks and trying to muffle a sneeze so you won’t hear it. You shoot around as he’s failed to conceal it from you. “I’m just fine babe, don’t look at me like that” Enzo retorts to your arched brow.
Tumblr media
Later on that day you can see him shivering and sneezing more frequently and look at him “Ok, that’s it, you’re coming down with a cold love, I’ll draw you a warm bath and make you some tea with honey for when you get out” And he knows by the look on your face to better not argue it and nods softly “thank you love”. 
Once he’s out of the bath and you’re both cuddled in bed with your tea mugs as you play with his unruly locks absentmindedly you whisper “Now, could you stop playing Enzo king in the north and not go out in the snow next time? look how you’re feeling now, you have a fever, you’re even hiding in my sweater like a little kitten” you kiss his forehead to check if the paracetamol you gave him has started working yet. He shoots his face up to look at you, glossy eyes trying to look offended by what you said, “But I’m not sick baby, I just enjoy cuddling my girlfriend and snuggling away on my…sorry, your boobs”. You laugh at his silly statement and nod softly “I’m sure that’s it baby”. You keep playing with his hair seeing him slowly drift off to sleep as you admire his peaceful features tracing his nose lightly with your finger and smiling to yourself wondering how you ever got so lucky to get to share your life with a man such as this.
Tumblr media
P.S: This was just adorable to write, I had the silliest smile on the whole time. I really hope you enjoyed it.

If you can, you do Jotaro x reader where the reader (gender neutral) is a very famous music celebrity and how Jotaro handles the being with someone who is famous with their daughter Jolyne in their life as well. Love your work and hope everything is good with you 🩷
Thank you anon! 💖 Kinda stressing out over paperwork over here but it's all good nonetheless! 🫡 You're request is heard and I hope I did your request justice with this short fic. Hope you enjoy! ♡
My Universe - Jotaro x Reader
Tumblr media
word count: 2.2k
One of the perks of having your spouse be a famous global soloist, is having a kid with them and have said child be their number one fan if Jotaro wasn’t already.
Sure, he may not necessarily like all the discography you put out for your fans, but that’s normal for anyone. You did mostly pop with some R&B on the side, and he was more of a jazz man himself. But he did have his personal playlist of favorite tracks he’d listen to time to time on repeat.
But Jolyne was on a different level than he was- she adored you off-screen and on-screen. If you were at home or at least around her, she’d have a field trip being with her idol: She’d get her hands on every merchandise that’s yet to be released, listen to songs yet to be heard, and get special access to VIP areas only meant for artists.
How about the time spend with Jotaro?
Well, aside from musing your daughter with all the perks and love from a celebrity guardian, there were times you left Jolyne with her own bodyguard and babysitter, and used the free time to roam the city with your husband and do whatever they wanted to do.
Initially, your personal life was kept secret from the world, choosing to separate and not involve it with the life of stardom. And that was still the case back when you and Jotaro were still dating. You posted a lot on your social media, mostly pictures of your “selcas”, outfits-of-the-day, food items, behind-the-scenes special from your stages, nature shots, and pictures with fellow celebrity friends.
Once in a blue moon, your fans would blow up social media whenever you decided to be ballsy and post pictures of you with Jotaro, his face hidden thanks to his hat and mask. The content of the image was relatively tame and “neutral”, but given the context behind these pictures- the intimate proximity of the two, the matching color palette clothes, the rare posting of him in general- might as well made your fan base theorists.
“Boyfriend reveal when????”
“Bestie, please share the tea to the world”
“Hello? The couple fits?? The cute poses??? Call me delulu but-”
“All of you are being weirdos. Stop invading their privacy”
“Yeah the dude could be her cousin or brother or something”
“Girl they be dropping these lovey-dovey ass pics and still wonder why we’re this delusional”
“Uhm cousin?? Brother?? With those pictures? Weird but pop-off ig”
You’d receive many posts of similar flavor all over your timelines and you admitted to liking whenever your fans talk about the love of your life as if it’s a conspiracy theory and most of them coming from a supportive mindset. It irked Jotaro for a moment when said community managed to somehow track both his formal account used to document his research findings, and his private social media account where he posted pictures of scenery similar to yours.
But there were the rational handful who were able to veer them off his ass, dismissing their claims as false despite hitting the nail on the spot.
Eventually, once you shifted to a more flexible and lenient agency, you decided to reveal to the world that the popular music icon was engaged and to be married the next week all through a single image of your hand brandishing a ring on your ring finger with a bride emoji as its caption.
“GOOD MORNING???”
“MARRIAGE?!!”
“THEY IS GETTING MARRIED YALL”
“And yall called us crazy for saying they had a boyfriend all this time”
“We boutta get Papa Star amongst us”
The fans and the general public went wild and aside from the obsessive ones, most of your community sent their support.
Despite your relationship now public to everyone, Jotaro still wanted to keep himself mostly anonymous to the news. So whatever images were taken with him in it was blurred out with the default blur effect or an emoji sticker- a “star” one to be specific-covering his face whenever it was shared among fans.
The community erupted with loud awes and cheers when you announced to the world that you were going to have a baby girl in the family in one of your interviews.
“OMG???”
“Alright baby protectors, it’s our time to RISE”
“Much love to the little onee”
“I will defend this child with my life.”
“Shooters for baby girl where yall at?”
“Oh she bout to be the luckiest mfer with all the merch exclusives”
Years later, Jolyne grew up to be her parent’s number one fan, doing exactly what your fanbase had thought of when she’d grow older.
Going back to the present, you found yourself stuck knee-deep in your career doing a sold-out world tour, performing for thousands of cheering people in cities across the world. This wasn’t your first tour and you’ve found a decent routine to follow when doing so, but this year was a first for you.
You expressed both in social media posts and in interviews that burnout began to hit you full-time and a multitude of nagging negativity clouded your head as you kept up with all the schedules, production, and practice sessions for majority of the year. You’ve been so busy that time spent with your family this year was little to none. You constantly shared that hopefully sometime in the middle of promotions, you could return home to your family.
Jolyne felt it watching you through the screen. Jotaro felt it too.
All of them missed you and he wanted to do something about it for once.
By the time September came, your world tour came to a close with one last concert to be done in the Rose Bowl Stadium in California. Both him and Jolyne were never able to attend to any of your concerts due to work and school, but timing was in their favor for once and he made the most of the opportunity.
He got into contact with your manager, someone he became close acquaintances with, and notified of them coming over to watch your show. At first, Jotaro just wanted to be there with your daughter in tow, but the manager and a couple of the crew members in-charge of the set list had different plans.
He agreed to it.
With the VIP tickets secured and their booth ready for them, Jotaro and Jolyne flew across the States with eager anticipation and excitement, the latter mostly radiating off from the little girl.
Eventually, the day of the concert arrived and your daughter couldn’t contain herself from running about, unable to wait any longer for her to watch her other parent sing and dance live for the first time. During the day, rehearsals were done before the show proper and a handful of lucky fans were able to watch it.
Thanks to a streamer fan’s dedication and generosity, Jolyne was able to watch you walk about the stage in cozy casuals interacting with your community through a live stream in her phone. From time to time in the middle of preparing things needed for a concert, Jotaro would tune in as well, happy to see you even if it was from a live feed.
Hours later, he rented a car nearby and drove both of them to the beaming stadium, teemed with cheering crowds of fans falling in line either to enter the venue or to purchase on-site merchandise. On the lampposts and the walls were banners of you welcoming everyone to the event.
To avoid getting mobbed, both father and daughter kept themselves hidden from any passing person with a hat and mask as they walked across the area to the stadium’s entrance. To everyone else, they might as well be an ordinary dad-and-daughter duo who were also fans of their favorite artist.
Jotaro followed the instructions sent to him by your manager and headed off to a more discreet entrance where they didn’t have to worry about any lines or people complaining of why they get to enter first and not them. A guard stationed by waved them inside and led the family into their seats overlooking the brightly lit stage. Before the platform were thousands of light sticks waving in the dark, belonging to the fans singing to songs being played as they waited for you to start.
Beside him, Jolyne sang along with enthusiasm, shaking her own personalized light stick to the beat of the music. He would do the same in an alternate universe, but here it just wasn’t his thing.
After a few minutes, the music faded off into silence and the lights dimmed until the stage cast the whole venue in darkness. The crowds cheered and many miniature lights shook in the night. The speakers suddenly blared a remix of one of your title tracks and the jumbo screens flashed to show a VCR containing a mashup of you in a concept film, introducing your theme as a music artist to your audience.
Then as the dancers brought in the energy with their entrance, the stadium exploded with excited screams as you rose up from the below and walked to the front, passing by your back-up dancers until you stood in front of everyone. A second after you greeted the crowd, you switched demeanor and joined the others in choreography.
Jotaro couldn’t help but smile and clap by the time you finished your introductory performance, contrasted by his daughter’s loud screams. He watched wistfully at you speaking with the audience, sweating from all the dance and singing.
It truly was something different watching you live versus watching a live broadcast from home. You’re so near and yet so far from him.
And so far, the rest of the evening was spent like this with you; the beloved soloist performing many of their hit songs ranging from hard hitting beats with impressive dance routines to soothing ballads that had you simply sitting on a fancy stage prop all dolled-up to match the aesthetic of the songs.
Jolyne never pried her eyes away from her other parent, always focused on you and making sure she sung, danced, and responded to your every questions with the devotion of a true, hardcore fan.
By the time the concert was near its end, you were standing in front of the crowd in a cozy outfit akin to the aesthetics of a person living in a humble cabin in the woods. Supposedly, this segment was supposed to be for when you brought up a box of mixed Q&A and dares for you to do.
However, as you said that you were about to start with the bit, the screens beside you changed from showing an arcade-esque “Break Time with Y/N” to a simple “You have special guests watching you”.
Out of the blue, spotlights turned to Jotaro and Jolyne’s booth and there they were- clear as day on the jumbo screens. Everyone cheered yet again as their way of greeting their favorite artist’s family. And even as Jotaro froze on spot, tipping his hat over his eyes as he offered a small wave, his little girl beamed and waved her light stick at the camera.
“I’m here! Hello!”
Jotaro, from what he could see from under his hat, fixed his gaze on the other jumbo screen where it showed your reaction to the surprise- you were crouched on stage, one hand waving at your child, while the other covered your mouth as he saw tears well up in your eyes.
You didn’t expect them to be at your closing concert but seeing your family present was enough for you to break character and fixate on the loves of your life. “Ah really, you guys…”
In response to your happy tears, the crowd cried out a nearly-synchronized “don’t cry!” prompting you to let out a wet chuckle and sniffle.
It occurred to him that he could do something while the cameras were on them. He reached for his phone from his coat pockets and with a few taps, he showed the screen to everyone- a mobile digital message with the words scrolling across the black screen in neon yellow:
Congratulations on your successful world tour. We love you <3
“Ah! You’re gonna make me cry again!” You said, whining as you swiped your eyes free from the new batch of tears ready to fall. He chuckled back. “Everyone, that’s my husband and baby girl. I love them and the fact that they’re here makes me the happiest person right now.” The crowd cooed.
“Now that they’re here, I’m all the more charged up to perform for everyone!” You said and the stadium cheered in response. With one more long look at your family watching from their booth, you continued. “Hope you all enjoy the rest of this night as much as I am enjoying right now.”
With Jolyne’s suggestion via a whisper, Jotaro turned to his phone and changed the message one more time before the camera diverted away from them. This the message scrolled by in neon green saying:
Let’s celebrate! Let’s eat out later! Our daughter is starving.
Your fans expressed a mix of laughter and wholesome “aw’s”. In turn, you smiled and with both hands grasping your microphone, you replied back to them with a curt yet loving, “Of course. My treat.”

⌦ in which you and your boyfriend meet up for the first time.
— warnings: gn!reader, pure fluff
| I love your Isaacwhy content, I was wondering if you could write another? Its a free card to write anything about him ig |
⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆
on july 4th, you were seated on a plane and flying down to austin, texas. why? it’s all because you became friends with six men while they were filming a discord video and just so happened to fall in love with one of them.
so here you were, six in the morning on a plane flying out from (home town) to texas. your nerves were all over the place, in a good way and a bad way. you were super thrilled to meet your friends and your boyfriend for the first time.
it was weird to focus on meeting your boyfriend for the first time. i mean, you did date online for four months, but you wouldn’t have changed it for the world. whether online or in person, isaacwhy was the best boyfriend known to man kind.
after many hours on a plane, you finally landed and was quickly able to get off and grab your luggage. your legs hurt from laying uncomfortably the whole time but it felt good to be able walk and stretch.
you stood around for a moment or two before looking around the airport to see if you could notice anyone. fortunately, you spotted who you thought was tanner walking towards an exit. you took a deep breath before heading in the same direction the man went, praying it was who you thought it was.
when you rounded the corner, tanner and grunk were taking a photo together while nick held a camera recording them. you were about to say hello, but grunk had managed to catch your appearance first.
he gasped in delight and ran towards you. grunk had always looked up to you as if you were his older sibling, you had that connection as soon as you met. grunk’s new found interest caught the attention of the others as nick moved the camera to catch the moment.
“y/n!” grunk’s arms wrapped around your waist as he was slightly shorter than you and yours cradled his head, one hand rubbed his back sweetly. after a few more seconds, grunk had let go and tanner ran up to you to take his place. he patted you on the back and muttered how good it was to see you. nick than came up and wrapped an arm around your neck, giving you a side hug as he still held the camera.
when all three boys stepped away, there was still one you were focused on meeting. isaac stood less than two meters away, his eyes piercing yours as he stood wide eyed. nick made sure to record the interaction, knowing you two would want it after.
it didn’t take long for isaac to speed walk over to you and grab you by the waist, hoisting you up so your feet were off the ground. he held you tightly around the waist as you held him just the same around the neck. your head was between shoulder, breathing in his sent just to make sure you were really here.
isaac gently put you down but didn’t let go. his back was arched from the height difference but he didn’t care; as long as you were in his arms. his palm ran along your spine, giving you goosebumps as you pressed a kiss to his cheek, holding it there before finally letting go.
although isaac wasn’t done holding you just yet, he pulled you back in but this time your hands were around his waist as he stood tall. his hands, much like yours did to grunk’s, cradled your head and gently rubbed the back of your neck.
“it’s so good to see you, sweetheart.” he whispered, his lips coming in contact with the shell of your ear. you nodded into his chest, agreeing whole heartedly. you let out an exhale, feeling like since you gained his touch it’s been better to breath.
when you looked up, isaac felt like he could’ve died. your chin rested on his chest and your love sick smile with droopy, tired eyes. he brought his lips down to the crown of your head, closing his eyes and pressing a kiss, much like you had done to his cheek.
“i promise you, soon enough we will be able to hold each other everyday for however long we want. would you like that, hmm?”
“yeah, of course. anything with you is perfect. holding you is perfect.” isaac laughed lightly, rubbing your back once more before letting go. he already continued to repeat his promise to himself, making sure that he would never forget it. he would give anything in the world if it meant that he could hold onto you again.
and maybe forever.
⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆
a/n: sorry i’ve been away, i hope this short fic will make up for some time. i have many stories in the works i will get to soon. enjoy my isaacwhy lovers <3

ynupdates the reviews are here! 'Don't Worry Darling' critic's score is 38% right now, and 'Bones And All' is at 87%! Overall, critics say that DWD lacks good pace and contains lots of plot holes. They do praise Florence for her performance and say Harry's accent changing is crucial to the plot - his acting although wavers from quite good to acceptable. 'Bones And All' however is gaining praise all over the world. YN is applauded for her directing, but even more for her acting. People call her 'the new sensation'. Timothée as always played beautifully.
im so happy for our yn being appreciated all over 💓

harryupdates i had the opportunity to watch DWD on its premiere in NYC and i do agree with critics. what's more IT IS NOT a film about female pleasure. literally there are two sex scenes and that's it.
ynsmybestie i feel like a proud mother 🤧
ynshands i smell two oscars for yn
harrysmoustache kinda disappointed that the dwd script was changed after yn's fiasco. it must have been decent if she considered it
⤷ harrysmylife nick kroll said the script changed almost entirely and that's when the confusion happened
joeandynfann yn is THE ARTIST of the 20s, im making rules

harrysmoustache i understand it's all over twitter, tiktok and ig, but you don't need to post about it. their privacy was invaded, those are VERY PRIVATE photos.
ynsmybestie i feel sorry for yn. she's getting so much hate for photos that clearly were taken by the two of them, not only her. point at the couple that has never taken any quite intimate photo, ill wait.
joemyman i hope yn has people close to her helping her deal with it healthy.
harrysmoustache i feel sorry for harry as well. lets not forget his privacy was invaded too.

ynupdates it was jeff's fault? oh my god. the situation got even sadder and more twisted now. I'm wondering if harry had anything to do with it... I hope not
harryupdates if he's responsible, i hope yn'll get all the money and justice
harrysmoustache he's sick. selling your friends and his girlfriends body for promotion??? #cancelljeff
ynsmybestie i feel so sorry for yn. i hope she'll get her justice. that's the least she can get after all the drama.
user617 i didn't need to know that
hater168 shouldn't have taken photos like that in the first place, could save ger money for the trial
⤷ ynshands she can do whatever she wants with her body. she can be photographed by someone if she wants. her body, her choice. if someone else is placing their hands on it, it's her right to sue them.
hater718 hope she's losing it
joemyman hopefully its going to be a quick trial. she went through enough the last couple of years.

yourinstagram In the last few days you saw my previous partner's and my body without our permission. You also learned that I filled the lawsuit against my former manager, Jeffrey, because I believe and am ready to proof he is responsible for this invasion of privacy.
This lawsuit isn't only for us. It's for every person that got their body being used. For every person that had their photos leaked, being taken without permission, sold or used for promotion.
I believe in your story.
What is private should stay private.
YN and Harry

⤷ yourinstagram I can photograph myself in every shape or form I want, it is not your body to decide. And it's my right to sue people that decides to use my body without permission.

harryupdates Harry leaving the courthouse with his lawyer. YN and Joe were walking right behind him. THEY WON THE LAWSUIT!!!! Jeff is obligated to pay 3,6 mln $ in total for direct invasion of privacy. He is also not Harry's manager anymore, it is unknown who took his place.
I'm so happy it is over. I hope they, especially YN, will catch a breath to enjoy life without all this fuss.

ynshands Matty Healy said that Harry wrote a few songs for 'the 1975' newest album. Those songs are: About You, Human Too, Happiness and All I Need To Hear. 'One day I got a message from the number I've never thought I would hear from. Harry fuckin' Styles was it, saying he had some songs that could work for us. We used every single one.' said Matty in the interview. Similar situation happened to Lewis Capaldi, 'Well I was drunk and sent Harry - I mean Harry Styles a DM, a video of something. (..) All in all, he screenshotted it and then randomly asked if I was interested in hearing a song he wrote. Forget Me is all written by him, I just changed the melody because Elton John told me to.'
harry wrote five songs about yn and decided to give them away instead of using in the next album???

ynsmybestie i imagine it's nice having songs being written about you, but if it's your ex? i don't know.
⤷ harrysmoustache well, he's writing about her beautifully
⤷ harrysmoustache 'there was something 'bout you that now I can't remember; it's the same damn thing that made my heart surrender' in About You made me ugly cry
⤷ ynsmymama what about 'I don't care if your insincere; just tell me what I want to hear; you know where to find me; the place where we lived all those years' in All I Need To Hear? even writing this made me cry. the whole song is just heartbreaking 💔
⤷ harrysbtch and in Happiness there are a few like: 'she showed me what a love is' and 'I would go blind just to see you' and 'I'd go too far just to have you near' and 'her body's like a modern art; take it out in front of me' and 'I'm never gonna love again' .... like im dancing but my cheeks are wet
⤷ ynsmymama i just relistened to the album and Human Too is like his apology and at the same time his excuse of what he did in their relationship... he's not going to stop writing about her, that's for sure.
harryupdtaes the lewis' story??? he's so funny
⤷ harrysbtch but the song? heartbreak anthem once again

For the last six months YN and her boyfriend, actor Joseph Quinn has been living in Italy, staying away from Hollywood gossip. Last January YN won two academy awards for directing and starring in a movie 'Bones And All' but didn't accept them in person. Was being pregnant a reason to skip the gala?

yourinstagram thank you katiesmith for this interview!
ynupdates 'Joseph is everything I could ask for in a partner. He's caring and loving, a good cook which is crucial while being pregnant. He's also very patient with me from the very beginning of our relationship.' the way she describes him is just so lovely
ynshands 'He's a kind hearted, tender man. He thought me a lot, and I'm grateful for having shared a part of my life with him. I only could wish him the best, he just deserves it.' YN talking about Harry. she has nothing but good things to say, despite everything she went through because of that relationship.
harrysmoustache 'It's part of a process, I understand it. Harry's an artist and that's how he deals with live, by writing about it. I found it therapeutic too, and somehow Taylor [Swift] put my rubbish on her album Evermore' she confirmed evermore guys, SHE CONFIRMED IT. also it's not rubbish, babes. its a masterpiece.
florencepugh sexy mama 🔥
joemyman 'I wasn't planning on announcing my pregnancy and that's why we moved to Italy earlier this year. I wanted something to be just my partner's and mine. Joseph was doing everything he could to protect us, and I am so grateful for him and his involvement. If not that one photographer, we'd still be in Italy, having pasta for breakfast.' we were right girlies, she didn't want people to know
⤷ ynsmybestie what about the next part?? 'No, I didn't sue them. I had had enough the last time I was in court. The stress it caused then would be bad for a baby, which is my first priority right now. Joseph, however did report that incident. I remember hearing him say 'I won't allow them to put you through it again, there's no way' and that felt like the quiet 'I love you' he whispers to me every night.' im- 😭
⤷ joemyman i know, man. joseph is just perfect, so protective and loving, couldn't ask more for our yn
⤷ ynsmymama i love how we simply adopted yn, even though she's probably older than all of us
harrysbtch but did you guys see that shade she threw on WB???💀 'I heard about Henry returning as SuperMan, yes. Am I going to direct him? No. I'm keeping my distance from WB. And also the only superhero film I see myself directing is The Amazing Spiderman 3 with Andrew Garfield.' her crush on Andrew is still there
⤷ ynshands i respect her decision. WB did her dirty with DWD and it really started all the drama she's been through

Those damn visions: Xavier Thorpe x Addams!reader
Tumblr media
request by @bobweirsgroupie (thank you and hope you'll like it) :Maybe Xavier or Tyler x Addams! Reader. Maybe the reader and Wednesday are twins with connected powers? So anytime Wednesday has a vision so does reader and it really scared them ?
warnings: well, apart from the plot being all over the place, none ig
My twin and I were a lot alike when it came to internal aspects – thinking and character. We both preferred to keep our distance, watch from the perspective, gather intel before acting.  Wednesday was a bit more reserved with her emotions, I was rather the “fuck around find out” and sarcastic type of person. While my sister took time to get her revenge and did it with cold face or smirk at best, I would kick asses and burn the world down if anyone hurt someone I cared about. That is if I ever were to admit I cared. But, generally speaking, we had quite a connection and not so surprisingly, when we started attending Nevermore this bond between us developed.
“We need some ground rules.” She stated when we were sitting in our common dorm, Enid gone who knows where.
“Ground rules?” I raised an eyebrow at her “I thought we were aware of each other’s limits?”
“Perhaps, but still.”
“Well, if anything, I should be the one to make them. I’m older than you.”
“By five minutes, shall I remind you?”
“Perhaps, but still.” I smirked
“You are overemotional. You can’t make rational rules of our attendance here.” She spat
“You are under emotional and therefore you are not capable of that either.” I retorted, knowing well enough neither of us was going to back down.  “Maybe we should let Hand cover this matter?”
“It can’t even stay undercover long enough for us not to notice him. I’m not entrusting Hand with my fate.”
“Well then, I guess the ground rules stays as usual. It’s enough we have to stay in the same room during the school year, am I right?”
“Precisely.”
“I’m glad we agree on something. Oh, and just in case, I call dibs on archery as extracurricular, so stay out of this field. Apparently you made some impression on fencing, so maybe stick to that.”
“For once, you have a good idea. I have to take Bianca Barclay down.”
“Well, I’m going to dethrone Thorpe since you already found an enemy for yourself. ”
“I did” she smirked almost invisibly “don’t you dare skimming her off”
***
“Good shot.”
Xavier Thorpe turned around abruptly, his bow high, aimed at me.
“Careful with that” I pointed out and he lowered the gear
“Addams.”
“Hello Mr Thorpe. Enjoying the day?”
“I was. Is your sister somewhere around?” his gaze was fixed behind my back and I shook my head in disbelief
“Nope. You know we have this rule, divide and conquer, she is after Bianca Barclay, you’re ex from what I’ve heard.”
“Enid?”
“Pretty much. This girl is just constantly talking about so many stuff.”
“That’s just who she is. It has some charm.”
“Maybe.” I shrugged “And as for my sister, don’t think I didn’t notice how you were eyeing her in the quad. You really should be careful around her, she will eat you alive if you develop any feelings for Wednesday Addams.”
“Really? She seems more like all bark and no bite”
Despite my best judgement I let out a laugh, which only grow louder at Xavier’s confused grin.
“What?”  he asked
“Don’t ever let her hear you say that. Cause that sentence would really be the course of your slow and painful death.”
“You know, you are different than her.” He pointed out
“Not so much. Perhaps, a bit more open, but everything else is basically the same. I’m a devil in disguise, Mr. Thorpe. You will never see me coming for you, deceived by all my charm.” I took a bow from his hands and  aimed at the butt, scoring perfectly “like I said, good shot, but not as good as mine.” When I turned around I met surprised gaze of my colleague. “What?”
“Could you stop calling me Mr. Thorpe? It’s Xavier.”
***
From the very morning I wasn’t feeling well, so Enid made me stay in bed and skip classes. Not that I was going to listen, but pretending to be obedient was easier than arguing with the blonde werewolf. As soon as she and Wednesday closed the door I jumped out from under the cover, ready to sneak out the dorm. Not for classes though, but into the forest. I heard Xavier had some crazy hiding spot there and I wanted to check it out. You know what they say – knowledge is power and I tried to live by that rule. So, tip-topping through the quad I made it to the school borders unnoticed.
The forest was far more magical than the Nevermore itself, quiet and peaceful, but mystique and eerie at the same time. Perfect combination and it was easy for me to understand why Xavier picked this as his hideout. For some time, not sure how long, I was just wandering around with no clear purpose when all of a sudden I felt extreme headache. The one that makes your vision blurry, your legs to give up and all the sounds and colors excessive.
“Oh, shit!” I muttered sitting down and leaning on the nearest tree, not sure of what was happening, where it came from and why was it so extreme. This was not normal and something inside me was just screaming something was happening to Wednesday. The last thing I remembered before blacking out was someone coming from the woods and running my way. With so many funny ways to die, I was going to be murdered in the forest, outside the school for freaks….. My sister is going to have such a blast when she hears about it.
***
 “You should have been more creative in your suicidal techniques.”
“I had a feeling you would say that” I propped myself on the elbow, facing my twin sitting on the edge of the hospital bed. “I see botany lesson left you with no scars, such a surprise. I was really hoping some poisonous plant would leave a mark.”
“Good to know nothing happened to you” she smirked and faint glow in her eyes gave away the fear she had for me.
“Not that you were worried, of course.”
“Of course. The only thing that made me slightly concerned was that it was Thorpe who brought you here. Something about you running around his hiding spot?”
“Did you  believe it?”
“I tried not to. I thought we had a code and now you bring shame to the family.”
“Black sheep, I guess. Pugsley would be relieved to see me taking the spot.”
“Y/N.”
“What exactly happened Wednesday? Do you have any idea? I mean, I fainted but …..
“What? Trying to find an excuse for being weak?”
“Nope. Trying to blame it on you.” she looked at me with no changed expression but I knew she was curious of what was coming next “I know it was your fault. I .. I felt it. So, did something happen during your class.”
“Nothing.”
“Liar.”
“Nothing happened.” She repeated flatly, but since of course I did not believe her, I grabbed her wrist and then my head exploded again. I saw exactly what happened. In my mind I saw her having some sort of vision, her head upturned, eyes wide, indulged in her own mind. We both gasped as I retrieved my hand and broke the touch
“What was that?” I blinked, a mix of surprise, fear and curiosity in my voice.
“No idea. But it’s interesting.” My twin narrowed her eyes “we will figure it out, but for now, no one should know.”
“Agreed.” I nodded
“Can I talk to her now?” male voice came from behind the door, fury dripping from it  “you can’t keep me here forever, Addams.”
“What did you do to him?” I sighed, knowing how creative my sister could be ”hope it wasn’t piranhas. It’s not your style to use the same idea twice…..”
*** “How are you feeling?” when Wednesday finally let him into the room Xavier finally get him chance to get inside.
“You brought me here?”
“That’s not the answer.”
“Yeah, I tend to ask rather than answer Better get used to it.” I shrugged “but I’m fine, I guess. Now, why did you help me?”
“Couldn’t risk you dying anywhere near me, right? That would bring suspicions towards me. You know, some crazy creature runs around school and you can never be sure if that’s not me.”
“You suddenly became much more interesting, Mr. Thorpe. And for the record, someone may already suspect you are the monster.”
“Let me guess who” he shook his head, smiling lightly and this view gave me some sort of warmth.
“Me. Of course. You practically just confessed to that.”
“Well then, maybe you will pay closer attention to me now” he looked straight into my eyes and smiled fully.
Fuck! For the first time in my life I felt like I wasn’t in control of the situation.
***
A day later, after some thorough observation, I left the hospital wing and was immediately intercepted  by my sister, who dragged me into the dorm.
“What exactly are we doing?” I muttered as she forced me to the floor, marked with some ancient signs “and since when are you using Celtics?”
“Desperate times calls for desperate measures.” She hissed and sat in front of me, lighting a candle “Enid’s away and it’s our only chance for a bit of peace.”
“So we are searching for the origin of that unnecessary link between our visions?”
“I want it out”
“Mhm. I wouldn’t like to see something that would make me burn my eyes.” I nodded “but do you think we can eradicate it?”
“We have to, Y/N. Now, shall we start?”
We held hands, closed our eyes and called upon the ghosts of the ancestors to lead the way for us, but before anything could happen Enid burst through the door, the wind she caused blowing the candle out and destroying the atmosphere.
“Sorry, girls! But you know, we have to get ready for the Raven’s! We are going shopping!”
“I am not attending that stupid dance.” Wednesday grumpily raised herself from the floor.”
“Oh, come on, Wednesday. Don’t be like that” Enid pouted “Y/N, convince your sister to come!”
“Not going to. And besides, I’m not going either.” I shrugged.
“I’m not accepting that!”
***
Despite mine and Wednesday’s stubbornness, due to some unexpected events, including our little monster chase we were forced to attend the dance. One day, in the middle of the pouring rain, Wednesday drugged me out into the forest in search for some clues. We were all soaked, cold and desperately determined to find anything to get us closer to the solution. It was hard in the pouring rain though and the footprints we found were dissolving pretty quickly. Almost as fast as my wet hair were starting to stick to my face.
“Come on, you know it’s pointless in this weather” I tried to bargain dealing with the water in my eyes when much to my surprise I stopped feeling the drops and an umbrella appeared above my head.
“What are you two doing here?” Xavier asked urging Wednesday to hide from the rain as well
“Investigating.” She muttered
“Does it bring much results?” he smirked
“See those traces. They start as animal and then turn into human, so …..” she trailed and then went all pale. Oh, no, not now…..”
“Wednesday, Y/N? Are you guys all right?” Thankfully this time neither me nor my sister lost conscience, but we were out in another vision for quite a while
“Are we ever?” I muttered eyeing my sister. She was…. Looking at Xavier intensely. I bet it has nothing to do with the fact that she suspected him of being the monster.
“Will you……?” she started
“Will I what?” Xavier was a bit confused but he knew what kind of question was coming
“Will you……?”
“She wants to ask….” I chimed in, trying to take action and resolve this crazy situation that truly had my heart breaking. She was going to ask him to the dance! It should have been me!
“Be quiet, Y/n. Will you go the dance with me?” Wednesday finally gasped out. Xavier shot a glance at me but seeing me looking down at the ground turned the gaze back on Wednesday
“Sure” he grinned and my heart was officially shuttered. “Wasn’t that hard was it?” he added, but slowly shifted position, almost like this question wasn’t meant for my sister.
***
“You are using him.” I pointed out to Wednesday when we were back in school
“Of course. He is probably the monster.”
“I have no doubt about it” I muttered “keep enemies closer, right?”
“You are developing feelings for him.”
“What? No. of course not. “
“You are. Shame I cannot trust you anymore. I guess I’ll stick to the If you want to do something good do it by yourself rule. “
“If that’s what you want. I won’t stay in your way.”
I guess, life has the tendency to take unexpected turns and that’s why Wednesday ended up coming to the dance with Tyler Galpin instead of Xavier (I loved her face when she found out she was set up by Hand) and Xavier choose Bianca as his company. Which left me alone either way.
While Wednesday was clearly enjoying herself on the dancefloor, I was getting drunk on Yeti-tini.
“Hey, Y/N” Enid came to my rescue, since apparently in her opinion I was lonely. “Having fun?”
“Plenty. Between watching my sister and healing hurt pride.”
“What happened?”
“We had a bit of an argument. Nothing important, really, at least nothing that I would take to heart. But she may have pointed out some things I didn’t consider to be true so far.”
“Xavier?” Enid smiled lightly
“What?”
“He’s been looking at you for at least fifteen minutes now?”
“I got a stalker. How wonderful.” I took a sip of my drink, turning gaze on him, causing Thorpe to blush and look down.
“Maybe you should…” Enid started but then we both felt something cold and wet dripping from the ceiling “what is that? “ she-wolf frowned in confusion
“That, my dear, is clearly the end of the party.”
When all hell broke loose and the paint sprayed through the pipes, everyone went crazy and I found myself running around the forest with my sister in search for Eugene.
“Go left, I take the right!” I yelled at her as we parted ways in the cold, empty and definitely eerie surroundings.
And yet again, the vision had really, really bad timing. Before I blacked out my last thought wish was that my sister would be safe.
***
Luckily she walked out, while I ended in a hospital. Again.
“Why is it always me?” I muttered opening my eyes and noticing a pair of very worried dark eyes staring into my face, making me sit up at once “What the hell, Xavier?”
“We really gotta stop meeting like this.” He smirked
“Hear, hear to that. Every time you are around something bad happens. To me, mostly.”
“I’m sorry” he muttered
“Why? Why are you sorry? Why do you care?”
“Because I like you!”
“You like me?” I raised eyebrows. I understood a lot of things. Serial killers minds, criminal techniques, mysteries and talking to ghosts, but this? He liked me? “Why?”
“I have no freaking idea! You think it makes sense to me? It doesn’t! But it is what it is!”
“Could you stop yelling?” I interrupted his train of thoughts, rubbing my forehead
“Are you all right? Were you hurt?”
“I guess not permanently, which is progress. Is Wednesday safe?”
“You talk like you don’t know her.” He grinned and I couldn’t help but reciprocate
“Right? She is a magnet for danger and unusual events.”
“So are you.” he leaned closer taking my hand in his.
“Are you danger, Mr. Thorpe?”
“Well, I guess I will have to stick around long enough so you could find it out.”
“and be your last victim?” I smiled sheepishly, almost unnoticeably.
“I surely hope so…..” he whispered holding my hands tighter.

drunk confessions | e.m
Tumblr media
warnings: drinking (underage ig since reader is at a high school party? but reader is 18), angst ig?, sad/angry eddie, usage of ‘y/n’ lol
notes: idk about this but i haven’t posted in a while sooo
tonight was the night. you were going to the jason carver party. at his house, where more than a few of the legendary hawkins parties had taken place. of course, you had tried to get eddie munson, your best friend, to come, but you knew the answer before you’d even asked him.
“i’m gonna pass. not really my scene.” eddie had said nonchalantly.
“come on, it won’t be as fun without you.” you’d pleaded. “it might be good for business.”
“i think i’ll be okay without selling to those low lives. but you’ll have a great time! i’ll be sat by the phone waiting for you to tell me all about it.” he teased.
“actually, eddie…i was hoping, since you’re my best friend in the entire world…” you attempted to flatter him, hoping that he understood what you were getting at.
“fine, i’ll pick you up.” he rolled his eyes.
“thank you!” you squealed, hugging him. “i’ll see you at one, okay?”
admitting only partial defeat, you had gone home to prepare. after pulling on your newest purchases from starcourt mall, you made your way there. it was going to be amazing. you were sure that if you woke up in the morning with any recollection of the night’s events, you’d love to remember that hazy euphoria for years.
a boy on the basketball team, whose name you didn’t know, was greeting every new arrival with plastic cups of brown liquid. upon further inspection, you realised it was vodka and coke - not your favourite drink, but it did the job. after finding your friend, you walked around together, mingling with others and dancing whenever a song you liked came on through jason’s speaker.
-
you’d had…a few more drinks. if a few more meant three ciders, two jaeger bombs, a whiskey shot and even more vodka cokes. now, you were looking for the friend you’d lost in between your fifth and sixth drink. clinging onto the wall by the staircase, you were suddenly overcome with a wave of anxiety. in your drunken state, you couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was wrong, but you knew you needed to get home. stumbling towards the phone hung on the wall, you forced all of your concentration into putting your favourite phone number into it, and waiting for someone to answer.
“hello?” came eddie’s reply. oh no. he sounded mad.
“i’m sorry eddie…” you sighed, tears forming in your eyes. “didn’t mean to annoy you. i’m sorry i always annoy you, eddie.”
“hey, you never annoy me!” he said. but what if he was lying? unbeknownst to you, he could practically smell all of the alcohol you had consumed through the phone. he’d been in similar positions without people to look after him, and he wasn’t about to leave you alone in such a vulnerable state. “i’m going to come pick you up, okay? can you wait outside for me?”
“yeah.” you hiccuped. “i can do that. yep.”
“good. i’ll be quick. just sit outside for me.”
you hung up the phone, and obediently wandered to the door, your world spinning around you. clumsily, you sat on the doorstep, waiting patiently. most people were in the back garden or the kitchen at this point, so you had the luxury of ten quite minutes to think about absolutely nothing. of course, being you, you didn’t take the opportunity.
eddie sounded really mad on the phone. what if he was sick of you? you didn’t know if you’d be able to live without him. also, why was the sky spinning? it wasn’t before.
before you realised he had pulled up, you heard eddie calling you from the van.
“oh, hey eddie!” you grinned haphazardly, beginning to attempt standing up. within a minute, he was beside you - wrapping an arm around your waist in order to help you up. unknowingly, you leant your body weight on him, making it all the harder for him to support you. he practically lifted you into the van, and buckled you in too - he knew you’d probably forget do it yourself.
“fun night, hm?” he raised an eyebrow, stood by the open door of your seat. you giggled, leaning your head against the headrest, your bleary eyes staring at him.
“i’ll take that as a yes.” he nodded. “where’s your friend?”
“i don’t know.” you shrugged.
“does she not need a ride home?”
you only shrugged again in reply. eddie couldn’t help but feel anger towards your friend for leaving - or losing you, when you were so drunk. but you obviously needed to get home. he closed the door and quickly hopping into the driver’s seat. after double checking your seatbelt, he started driving, laughing to himself at your ditzy drunken state before he heard you sniffling. were you crying?
“what’s wrong?” he turned to you as he pulled up at his trailer. he assumed that as you’d told your parents you’d be staying at a friend’s house, and there was no sight of her, you’d be okay with spending the night at his house.
“you’re mad at me, aren’t you?” you mumbled from your seat next to him.
“of course i’m not.” this was obviously a theme running through your mind tonight. “why would you think that?”
“‘cause you sounded mad when you picked up the phone.” you admitted the thing that had been plaguing you for the last half an hour.
“i wasn’t mad!” eddie bit back a laugh - clearly, when you had nearly a dozen drinks, you got a little paranoid. “i was confused, because i didn’t know who was ringing me.”
“oh.” you said, laughing to yourself. “i’m a little bit stupid, aren’t i?”
“only when you’ve had jäegermeister.” eddie smirked at you, pretending to be hurt as you attempted to shove him - completely missing his shoulder.
“how about i get you some water, and then we get you to bed. deal?” he suggested.
“deal. ‘m kinda tired.” he could tell - your words were slurring together even worse than before.
“come on, let me help you out.” he said, suddenly appearing by your side.
“i love you, eddie.”
“i love you too.”
“no…” you sighed, frustrated. “like, i really love you.”
“you’re really drunk, y/n.” he said as he got you seated on the sofa, pouring you a glass of water from the tap. he so badly wanted to fall for what you were hinting at, but you were too drunk to know what you were saying. you couldn’t ever love him like he loved you. he handed you the glass, watching as you took it with both hands and started sipping it.
“i’m not that drunk. i didn’t even throw up tonight.” you defended yourself lazily.
“well, that’s an improvement on last time.” he took the now empty glass from you, but the water clearly hadn’t had much of an effect on you.
“come on.” he offered his hand to you. “let’s get you to bed.”
you nodded, ignoring his extended hand and lying down on the sofa - your legs dangling off of the end. usually when you slept at his house, that was where you slept. but he wasn’t that mean - you needed a good night’s sleep after how much you’d drank, and eddie’s bed was the best chance you had.
“no, you can sleep in my bed. come on.” he heaved, pulling you up onto your feet.
“with you?” you asked, leaning your head on his chest as you walked to his bedroom. your hopeful tone wasn’t lost on him.
“no, i’ll sleep out here tonight.” he said as he opened his bedroom door, pushing you in. instantly, you flipped onto his bed.
“no, i don’t want you to leave me!” you protested. eddie sighed, taking your shoes off, and then his. now this just wasn’t fair.
“i can’t share a bed with you.” he pulled the duvet over you.
“why?” you whined.
“because…because!” he argued - unable to explain the truth to you in such a state.
“because you’re scared to admit the truth.” you mumbled, words slurring together.
“there is no truth - not whatever you’re talking about, anyway.” he sighed, trying not to show his annoyance.
“yes there is!” you said, rolling onto your side to face him. “you love me and i love you. we just said it.”
“i…” eddie sighed again, running a hand through his messy hair. you were being mean now. “we’re friends, y/n.”
“more than that.” you said, determined. he had to admit - you were right about his feelings. but you had never hinted anything like this to him before. he couldn’t get all of his hope from one drunken night he hadn’t even been fully there for.
“if you really feel that way, then talk to me tomorrow.” he said, turning away from you. “i’m going to sleep on the sofa.”
“i’m sorry, eddie. i want you to stay. please don’t leave me alone.” you said, your voice shaking.
fuck. how could he when you asked him so sweetly? he knew you weren’t going to sleep unless he stayed with you. resigning himself to sharing a bed with you for the first time in years, he turned to you again and climbed in next to you.
“only because you won’t shut up.” he grumbled.
“i love you, eddie. i mean it. i’ve been wanting to say it for years.” you mumbled from next to him. he didn’t say anything, but even inebriated, you could tell he was smiling.

🏳️‍🌈 The Miracle of Living Pt.1 (Bianca Del Rio/BenDeLaCreme ig??) - Lita 
Tumblr media
In this world we're just beginning  To understand the miracle of living
Hello everyone! Welcoe to the long-awaited prequel to the Bitney San Junipero AU that I technically started writing five years ago (???) but recently decided to try and breathe new life into and complete. In theory this can stand alone as its own story with a few vague references to Black Mirror future tech sprinkled in, but it's really just setup to the main fic that kind of got away from me. The story has gotten a complete overhaul, so if anyone from Ye Olden Days remembers it - please do stick around and read this new version, I promise it's better. 
Massive thank you to @veronicasanders for giving me the kick up the ass required to get this story back off the ground, throwing her ideas at me, and being my Google when it comes to divorce court and the American college system. Love you mom - I hope this story is everything you'd dreamed of &lt;3
Summary: Bianca is twenty-one, flunking college, and - thanks to a night of drunk bad decision-making - she's pregnant with her gay best friend's baby. 
Los Angeles, California
 January 17th, 2022
“BEN!” 
Bianca’s furious voice rings out through the small apartment. She’s sitting on the toilet with her pajama pants and underwear around her ankles, willing the second blue line to disappear. If anything, it’s getting darker. 
“Uh…yeah?” The reply comes from the other side of the bathroom door.  
“I thought you said you wore a fucking condom!”
“I did!” Ben protests. Then, meek and cautious: “...It might have split.” 
“It might have what?”
Two and a half months ago, Bianca and Ben had gone out drinking to commiserate the ends of their respective relationships - Ben had found out about his long-term boyfriend’s secret Grindr profile and dumped him, then Bianca’s longest-lasting FWB had called it quits with her less than a week later. When they got home, drunk and dumb and miserable, they’d started making out with each other on the couch - as a joke, just for something to do. And then, since they were shitfaced and apparently didn’t know any better, one ‘joke’ led to another, and they’d woken up naked in Ben’s bed. They had laughed it off the morning after, hunched at the kitchen table over alka-seltzer and black coffee - too much liquor, too many emotions. Shit happens. 
And then tonight, Bianca had mentioned offhand that she was incredibly overdue her period, and suggested going out to buy a test half as a joke. Ben had gone along with it a little too willingly, and he’d been overly-energised and super fucking weird on the walk to the drugstore. Really, Bianca should have known something was up when he detoured via the liquor store across the street, and came back with two bottles of tequila. 
“Ben, are you fucking kidding me?” Bianca says through her teeth. 
“I was gonna tell you,” Ben replies, sounding flustered. “Is the door locked? Can I come in?”
Bianca wants to say no, but it was Ben’s curiosity about her vagina that got them here in the first place, so who cares about whether or not he sees her now? She reaches over to turn the lock. Ben shuffles into the room in his leopard-print boxers and an oversized pajama shirt, and perches on the edge of the bathtub, looking at the floor. 
Part of Bianca wants to burst into tears - another part of her wants to scream until she throws up. Not now. Not fucking now - not like this. She’s twenty-one; Bianca doesn’t even know that she wants a goddamn kid at all, forget about one fathered by her gay best friend. 
“Look, I didn’t notice until after we were done. And I didn’t want to freak you out - I figured it would probably be nothing, and then there was never a good time, and then you told me you were late and I…” 
“You’re a faggot, we were hammered, we fucked because we thought it would be funny - if you knew that there was any chance whatsoever that you’d knocked me up, you should have fucking told me!” Bianca snarls through gritted teeth. 
Ben doesn’t say anything for a moment. He doesn’t really react either. He just sits there and looks at her; composed, taking it in. 
Bianca met Ben at a theater summer camp when they were sixteen. Ben had just moved from Seattle; he was about to start junior year at the private school across town. They led fundamentally different lives - Bianca had found herself seethingly jealous of him and his cakewalk of a fucking existence when she first met him, resolved that she had no other choice but to hate him on premise. But they’d been assigned as duet partners for the end-of-summer showcase and, faced with no other choice but to get along with him, she’d discovered that they were fucking made for each other. Ben didn’t mind that Bianca was kind of a bitch; he laughed at her jokes, he seemed to understand her. All three qualities she’d never experienced from other kids her age. One juvenile performance of Waltz for Eva and Che later, and she’d found an apparent friend for life. 
And then, once high school drew to a close and Bianca was confronted head-on with the unblinking abyss of her future and its hopelessness, he’d offered her an exit route. He was freaked out by the idea of sharing a dorm with a stranger, so his dad had eventually relented after months of begging to privately rent an apartment - he just needed a roommate. She’d never expected that that offer would land her here. 
“So, you’re pregnant?” He asks cautiously. 
“Yeah - no shit, Sherlock.”
“Do you think you should take another one? To make sure or whatever?” Ben asks. Bianca presses the heel of her hand to her temple, still not breaking eye contact with the pregnancy test. 
“Nope - that looks pretty positive to me,” Bianca shows it to him, wiping the mist of stress-sweat from her brow. Ben pulls a vaguely disgusted face. There’s a moment of pause - Bianca bites her lip, struggling to make sense of the messy cocktail of emotions swirling around inside her head. 
“Are you okay?” Ben tries to take Bianca’s hand. It feels weirdly violating to have someone touching her while she’s sitting on the toilet. She swats him away. 
“I think so. I need a little time to get my head around…everything.” Bianca grits her teeth. 
All the scary new problems are dawning on her all at once, like she’s being descended on by a swarm of wasps. College. How to tell her parents. Hospital bills. College again. The apartment is too small for another person. She’ll probably be a shitty mother. Ben. Ben’s pending status as an absent father. She’s never changed a diaper before. College. Fucking college.  
She’s currently scraping through year number four of her two-year community college program. Which, as it turns out, only takes two years if you aren’t working full-time to try and keep yourself fed and housed. Ben’s impending graduation from USC - full ride for a screenwriting major, family that gave a shit about him - made that feel even more grim.  
This whole convoluted, stupid journey to something better had felt both never-ending and deeply hopeless for the last thirty-six months, and now the whole endeavor is decisively fucked. Even if she does make it to that prophesied something better - enough credits to earn her a spot in the fashion merchandising major she’d been declined acceptance to straight out of high school - there’s no way she can handle real college with a fucking screaming infant permanently attached to her. She can feel the dream crumbling in her hands.  
Bianca makes a silent resolution that she’s not putting her own kid - who still feels very much like a hypothetical even though it very much isn’t - through the same shit. You’re eighteen now, you’re not our problem any more. It really didn’t help that every screaming argument with her mom in the leadup to her high school graduation had been silently spectated by her brother - in all his uneducated, unemployed, twenty-seven year old glory - from his position fossilized into the living room couch with his PlayStation controller in his hand. We’re not paying for you to stay in this house and fuck your life up - why her specifically? 
Her desire not to be their problem had trailed her from NOLA to LA with Ben, and that was its own issue. She leaves on her terms and she’s abandoning her family, even though it was their sharp insistence that she got a job or an apartment or fucking something else that didn’t involve her living at home and taking up too much space that had pushed her in that direction in the first place. What the fuck was there for her at home anyway? Community college and shitty waitressing jobs? At least she could do the same shit against a prettier backdrop on the other side of the country. 
Bianca realizes she’s staring dementedly at the test in her hand again. She sniffs, trying to blink away tears she hadn’t noticed forming.
“I really didn’t see being a single mom in my life plan,” she mutters - thinking out loud.
Except she had. In her bleaker moments - the ones in which she was seventeen and terrified of what would happen if she never got out of her hometown. She hadn’t had that nightmare since she and Ben had packed his car and left at the beginning of September four years ago. 
“Who says you have to be a single mom?” Ben tilts his head, reaching a hand out for her again. 
Bianca scoffs. 
“What? No- Ben, I really don’t want to date you - one night was bad enough.”
“That’s not what I’m saying. But like…if you’re gonna go through with this, I’m not just leaving you by yourself to do it. Both of us did something dumb, and now we’re here - so, both of us should have to parent the consequence.” 
There’s a quiet, sympathetic smile on Ben’s face. Bianca still wants to fucking kill him. She eyes him up, searching for any hints of deception or fake-niceness. Surprisingly, he passes the on-the-spot analysis. 
“You’re just saying that so I stop being mad at you.”
“No! Anyway, I can’t let you raise it by yourself - I love you, but the world really, really doesn’t need two of you.”
“Ha-ha, go suck a dick,” Bianca rolls her eyes. She can’t help but crack a smile. 
“If this is what happens when I try to go outside my comfort zone, then yeah, that’s what I’m sticking to.”  
****
2nd May, 2022
“That was less excruciating than I thought it would be,” Bianca arches her back as she perches on the edge of the bed, stretching out. Her hair is still elaborately styled; what little of her makeup had survived the day still on her face.
She’d abandoned her dress on the floor the second that they got to their hotel room. She’s basically naked, which Ben seems perplexingly unbothered by; married, heterosexual life seems to have changed him quicker than she thought it would. It’s a relief, finally being alone with him. She’d have preferred to actually be alone, but after a day of forced smiles and overwhelm, he was better than nothing. 
“Absolutely,” Ben nods, sitting down to untie his shoes. He’s still wearing his tux - his black curls are coiffed back from his face, and he’d almost pass for straight, were it not for his meticulously groomed eyebrows. “I mean, I could have done with maybe seventy percent less beer and sports talk from your dad - I was starting to think he was onto me.” 
“I thought everyone knew there’s no home runs in football - that’s not a gay thing, you’re just dumb.” 
The shotgun wedding hadn’t really been a part of the plan, but after Bianca’s mom had found out that she was pregnant, and then proceeded to call her non-stop for weeks in order to berate her for bringing shame on the family like it was the fucking 1800s, Ben had suggested it. Her mother’s bizarre and endlessly changing standards of behavior continue to baffle Bianca.  
The decision to go ahead with it seemed a bit weird, but ‘weird’ had become a default preset of Bianca’s existence since January. Ben had thrown himself into the organization with immediate, over-the-top passion - opening up Pinterest and starting on the moodboard five minutes after Bianca had agreed to it. It had kept him entertained and out of the way, which was nice - he’d already started reading parenting books, and was being a little overbearing about prenatal vitamins and whether or not Bianca had made her birth plan yet. 
Outside of picking out her dress, Bianca hadn’t really had to do or think about anything. Marrying a gay man had its perks. She’d had a brief reprieve from Ben’s preemptive helicopter parenting, which gave her more energy to focus on finding bigger apartments, since otherwise the kid would be sleeping in the closet, and trying to convince her job that no, four weeks definitely wasn’t enough maternity leave. 
The wedding day had been quietly excruciating - her family, her mom specifically, engaging in that grim unspoken facade of keeping up appearances. Pretending that everything was completely fine and normal, denying any knowledge of Bianca’s pregnancy when asked about it. It would be embarrassing if it wasn’t so fucking normal for her. The atmosphere had been thorny, and Bianca had spent most of the day choking back alcohol-free prosecco and waiting for it to be over. 
Ben’s family - who seemed confused but generally enthusiastic about the whole ordeal, probably only half-buying Ben’s assertion that he was actually bi and Bianca was definitely the one - seemed to like Bianca though, and that was refreshing. Some kind of normalcy in As Yet Unnamed Kid’s extended family was deeply necessary. They, and Ben himself, had been the only bearable part of the whole thing. Plus they’d fronted most of the expenses and organized the reception at their country club, which was a damn sight better than the social hall of the church that Bea’s family pretended to attend. 
“Anyway, I’ve got proof that we’ve fucked at least once, so I don’t think anyone was super suspicious,” Ben continues as Bianca flops back onto the plush bed, letting out a heavy sigh. “How is she doing?” 
“She’s fine - she let Mommy keep all of her food down today, so that’s something,” Bianca says. 
She’s kind of starting to show now; although just to the point where she looks spectacularly bloated, rather than recognisably pregnant. They didn’t actually know what gender she was yet - but Bea had a feeling. Maybe it was more of a hope, actually; if it was a boy, Ben got to pick the name, and she wasn’t sure how she felt about calling it Raphael. 
The kid had been a little bitch recently - whenever Bianca tried to complain about it, Ben would just laugh and remind her that she clearly took after her mom. After a lot of smugness about how she’d not had morning sickness at all, it hit her like a truck for some reason the moment she hit her second trimester. She’d spent the better part of the month before the wedding bent over a toilet bowl. Bianca is already pretty fucking sick of being pregnant, and she’s not even halfway done - she’s always tired, and her boobs hurt, and she misses comfortable sleep and coffee. She thought that nine months with no booze would be the hard part, but dragging herself through life without caffeine is proving to be the real kicker. 
“This is weird,” Bianca muses, staring up at the ceiling.  
“What’s weird?” Ben turns to look at her, eyes landing on and then immediately flashing away from her exposed tits.  
“Try and think about it for like, slightly longer than you wanna think about it. You’re my husband, and I’m pregnant with your kid,” she says plainly. “In what universe was that ever something either of us would have wanted a year ago?" 
“Okay, so maybe you’re kind of messy and annoying, and you talk with your mouth full like, all the time and it’s really gross, but I can think of worse people to spend the rest of my life with,” he shrugs. Bianca swats at him with a pillow. 
“Thanks a lot.” She aims for pissed, but a smile cracks its way through. “Anyway, it’s not the rest of our lives - play pretend for a few years, then split up and go and live our truths or whatever once she moves out, like we agreed,” Bianca says. Ben nods knowingly.  
That was another aspect of things that she was a little hesitant about. Ben had meant what he said about sticking around and raising the kid, but they’d always planned for something more like coparenting. They’d have the baby, and then grow the fuck up and get their own relationships and apartments and lives while splitting custody. 
So, the sham marriage thing had interfered with that master plan quite a fucking lot. The situation had divulged into a years-long commitment to lying to people - no dating, since what was gonna happen when the kid started talking and blabbed to whatever set of grandparents about Daddy’s boyfriend? They were gonna be stuck living together for the foreseeable. So, even more keeping up of fucking appearances, which Bianca can’t stand doing it. But the ring on her finger is a glaring, expensive sign that she’s already committed.  
They’d talked about it already; pretend to everyone, including the kid, that everything was entirely fine and normal until she was old enough to understand it, get a divorce in about eighteen years, and go their separate ways while continuing to be friends if they could still stand the sight of each other. Easy. 
“Thinking about it like that just makes it sound worse,” Ben leans back to lie next to her, loosening his tie. “It’s gonna be fine. One step at a time.”
“Sure,” Bianca replies, distant. 
“I mean,” Ben rolls over onto his side, lowering his eyelids into an expression that Bianca imagines is supposed to be seductive. “It is our wedding night - how about round two?”
“Ew - no, never.” Bianca cracks a smile, pushing him away. Ben laughs. 
“Thank god, I barely got through saying that without puking.” He starts unbuttoning his shirt and glancing around the expansive bridal suite - still a mess from Bea getting ready that morning. “Do you want me to take the couch?”  
Bianca thinks for a second.
“Nah - that doesn't feel fair. I’ve been averaging getting up to pee about ten times a night though, so you can look forward to that.” She looks down at her belly, putting both hands around her barely-noticeable bump. “I hope you know you’re already a gigantic pain in my ass, baby.”  
****
September 29th, 2022  
Ben had left to go and get coffee - which is probably a good thing, since Bianca was getting tired of looking at him. He’d been…way too intensely supportive, to an extent that she’d found a little smothering. But at least he’d been there. Throughout the last nine months, Bianca had been worried that he was eventually going to get sick of her shit and leave her to deal with it by herself. She’d given him no shortage of shit to get sick of. 
The epidural hasn’t quite worn off yet; Bianca has no idea what sort of state her pussy is in, and she’s not sure she wants to know. She’s sweaty and exhausted, but she feels…good. For some reason. 
Her water had broken that morning. Ben had been at work - fatherhood looming over him and in desperate need of something more secure than his old three shifts a week at TGI Fridays, he’d picked up a job doing data entry or some other boring crap in an office full of middle-aged straight women about two months ago. Apparently it had been hilarious to watch his reputation as the super fun token gay guy shatter in real time when he’d announced to his boss in front of most of his coworkers that he had to leave because his wife had just gone into labor. 
Yeah, he’d been fucking insufferable with the constant ‘you’re doing amazing’s, but he was trying his best. Bea couldn’t exactly be mad at him - he’d just put up with eight hours of her screaming bloody murder and telling everyone who came near her to go fuck themselves. And she’s pretty sure she’d been gripping his hand so tightly she came close to breaking a couple of his fingers. 
The room is quiet now. It’s bliss, compared to the chaos of the last few hours - the mad rush of doctors and nurses and blood and sweat and swearing. It’s getting dark outside, the glow of the city lights flickering through the thin curtains. There’s a plastic crib next to Bianca’s bed, with a pink label on its side. Adore Del Rio, 6lbs 3oz. 
No matter how disgusting and tiring her day has been - and it was really tiring, and really, really fucking disgusting - a sense of enormous, beautiful calm had washed over Bianca when she held her daughter for the first time. Her daughter. 
She’d never felt anything like this before, looking down at the tiny, squishy, pink bundle in her arms. She’s asleep now, wrapped in a blanket and held to Bea’s bare chest. She’s so…little, and so delicate, Bianca thinks as Adore - her fucking daughter - wriggles and murmurs, reaching up for her with one perfect, miniature hand. The delicate curls of her wispy brown hair, and the gentle rise and fall of her chest as Bianca holds her close - she can’t believe that she fucking made her. She’s so perfect, and so goddamn fucking small - and Bianca feels both blissfully zen, and absolutely ready to tear anybody who tries to take Adore away from her limb from limb. 
She’s barely been here for an hour, and Bianca loves her more than she’s ever loved anything else before. 
*****
March 18th, 2041
“Did you finish your homework last night?”
“Yes.” Adore, lacking in any semblance of enthusiasm, grunts from the kitchen table; pulling out one of her earbuds and looking at Bianca with a mix of indignation and fury.   
“Then how come I’m getting emails from the school - again - about you not turning it in?” Bianca places the last clean plate on the dishrack and turns around, leaning against the counter and drying her wet hands on the ass of her jeans. That fails to elicit any form of response from her asshole teenager, and she tries again. “Come the fuck on, Dorey- it’s like you don’t even want to graduate.”
“Maybe I don’t?” She tilts her head, shit-eating grin on her face. That was a deliberate attempt at pissing her off - Bianca has gotten pretty good in recent years at telling those apart from Adore pissing her off without meaning to, and she tries not to let it. Even if her blood is already quietly simmering. 
“Oh, you absolutely do if you wanna keep living in this house-”
“Leave her alone, Bea.” Ben laughs, sitting opposite from Adore, as he looks up from the article he’s reading on his tablet. 
He only got home from work about an hour ago - most of Bianca’s days off fall on weekdays, so she’s been at home all day, doing pretty much nothing of note until Adore got home from school. They’d had a minor screaming match about the state of Adore’s room - Bianca had threatened to withhold phone privileges and her car keys until Adore relented, threw out the fifteen water bottles she’d been accumulating on her nightstand, and hid the rest of her mess in the closet. Fuck it, good enough. 
They only seemed to either argue or ignore each other when Ben wasn’t home which was…just fucking great. It made Bianca feel totally awesome about herself. But Ben is back, order has been restored, and Bianca is cleaning up after dinner like nothing had happened. 
“Whose side are you on?” Bianca replies, faux-shocked. “Fucking traitor.” 
“Clearly mine, because I’m his favorite,” Adore smirks. You don’t know the fucking half of it, Dorey. 
Bianca isn’t saying anything, but the way that Adore is looking at her tells her that she probably still looks mad. This recurring point of tension is getting several million miles up Bianca’s ass. 
Adore’s latest thing, with her last months of high school on horizon, has been threatening not to go to college. She’d gotten her applications in by some fucking miracle, and by even further fucking miracle had been accepted for a songwriting major at some prestigious music school that Bianca couldn’t remember the name of - and was now adamant that she wasn’t going, in favour of driving around the country with the ‘band’ that her and her dumbass friends had formed last summer, playing gigs in basements and doing god-knows what else. 
Bianca feels like she knows on some level that this is all talk; of course Adore is gonna graduate and go, she’s not stupid. But she’s been in the midst of a prolonged rebellious phase since she was about thirteen. Every time they fight about it, Bianca wants to shake Adore and tell her you’re gonna fucking do this because I couldn’t, stop being fucking ungrateful - but her failed aspirations aren’t Adore’s fault. 
It just annoys her. Adore, in every possible way, has had an easier life than Bianca ever did and she struggles not to hate her for it. Her future is available to her on a silver goddamn platter, she’s looking for reasons to not take it, and for fucking what? Being cool? 
Ben, against what had seemed like all odds when they were in their twenties, had really fallen upwards from the joint error that had changed the trajectory of both of their lives. That first ‘pay the bills’ office job doing whatever-the-fuck had unlocked Ben’s secret talent for playing corporate ball, and a little less than eighteen years later he was the CFO of an LGBT charity, and making what Bianca deemed to be a fucking stupid amount of money. Enough to afford their too-nice house in a too-nice neighborhood in West LA, and Adore’s too-nice performing arts high school. 
Bianca had climbed about as far up the ladder as she’d been able to, but given that she was a college dropout with no real experience in anything else, the depressing non-failure of retail store management was about the best she could manage. It wore her down; the feeling of uselessness and guilt as she inhabited this existence that felt a million miles above her means. 
“This is insane - have you guys read about this new Cookie Heaven thing they’re trialing?” Ben looks up again, breaking the frosty silence - Bianca disinterestedly flicking through her phone, Adore disinterestedly pretending to finish her homework. “Guys?” 
Ben had been bizarrely fixated on this emergent technology for the last year or so - some shit about consciousness transfers and virtual afterlifes that Bianca didn’t understand and didn’t care to. It made her skin crawl, not that she had any idea why. Truly, the rate at which Cookies as a principle had been developed, outlawed, un-outlawed, given rights, made illegal again but only in certain situations - it felt like it dominated the news, and with every possible turn it got weirder. Their trajectory had felt like trying to find a point for something that had been invented pointlessly. Criminal justice, entertainment, smart home tech, medical advances, god knows what else - Bianca just thought they were a bit macabre. 
“Nope, don’t want to. It’s creepy.” Bianca shudders, kicking off the process of shutting him up about it before he talks about it too much and gets under her skin. “Is this like that chick who died in that AR art thing at Burning Man and got stuck in the Cloud? Because that freaked me the fuck out.”
“Why? I think it’s really nice. According to this, they’ve been successful with people who’ve been uploaded prior to death, so now they’re looking at trialing it for long-term coma patients, end-of-life care, people with Alzheimer’s - it could be really promising.”
“Absolutely not - when I die, let me rest in fucking peace.” Bianca pulls a face.  “Don't throw some gross little computer clone of me into a weird simulation and force me to live forever - it’s weird. I don’t like it." 
“Bianca, Cookies aren’t just computers-” 
“It’s messed up.”
Adore shuffles uncomfortably in her seat, pushing her earbuds in further. Bianca half-watches her, pursing her lips. 
“I think it’s sweet. It says in the article that if this trial thing works, then they’re going to look at options for letting family members visit,” Ben says a little wistfully. 
“Ah.” It takes a moment of thought, but Bianca feels like an asshole. 
“Look, I just think that if something like that had been around thirty years ago, it would have been…” he stops, not sure how to finish his sentence. Ben’s mom died when he was ten, and that tragedy has been underpinning Adore’s entire adolescence; his constant anxiety over something happening to himself or Bianca, not wanting his daughter to have to suffer through the same lifelong, unshifting grief. “Think about Adore-”
“Yeah - maybe think about me enough to not have this conversation right in fucking front of me?” Adore bolts to her feet, her hands clasped at her sides. Her eyes look moist. Bianca half-opens her mouth, trying to say something, but no words make their way out. “This is freaking me out - stop it!”
She scrubs at her eyes furiously with a balled fist, storming out of the room and letting the door swing shut behind her with a thud. 
“Dorey-” Ben calls out weakly after her. 
“What the fuck was that?” Bianca walks around the table, slumping down into the seat Adore had just been occupying. She hears Adore’s bedroom door slam from upstairs. 
“I dunno - I guess that got a little heavy? I mean, who wants to sit around and listen to their parents talking about what’s gonna happen when they die?” Ben looks uncomfortable, chewing at his bottom lip. “I shouldn’t have said anything.”  
“Yeah,” Bianca replies distantly, not really listening. 
“I do mean it, though.” Ben says, leaning across the table - looking past Bianca’s folded arms and frosty expression. “If I’d had some way to still talk to my mom - even if it wasn’t fully real, even if it was just a simulation - I’d have wanted that. And I don’t think it’s fair that we should stop Adore from having that chance.”
“What, so I have to commit to being alive forever even when I don’t want to, for her benefit? I don’t think she even likes me anymore, Ben - she wouldn’t care.” Bianca sounds more morose than she wants to, but it’s true. She loves Adore, but god knows the kid is going out of her way to make that difficult. 
“Believe me, she would.” Ben looks at her a little too seriously. “I’m just saying I think we should look into it.” 
“Look into it all you want - I’m not doing it.” 
“Seriously, Bea-” Ben is looking at her with puppy eyes and it’s making her feel nauseous. “For Adore?”
There’s loud music blasting upstairs, and Bianca is wondering if it’s Adore picking up an old habit of putting her speakers on when she’s crying, so that nobody can hear her. She wants to go and check on her, but she’s glaringly aware that any interference from her is perceived as a pending attack by Adore right now - how powerless she feels hurts. Bianca looks at the floor, picking at her cuticles. 
 “Fine.”
*****
August 4th, 2042
“So, I’m sure this isn’t gonna come as a shock to you, but your dad and I got a divorce.” 
Adore’s eyes practically pop out of her head as she spits her coffee out. More of it gets on Bianca’s face than she would have liked. 
“What?” 
“I don’t think I left much room for interpretation there, Dorey,” Bianca grimaces, wiping secondhand iced latte off of her cheek with a napkin. 
“Yeah, okay, whatever. Why the fuck did you get a divorce?” Adore looks sullen. Almost angry, actually. 
Regardless of how different they’d seemed to become as she’d grown up, every so often Bianca was hit with a very, very strong reminder that Adore was her mother’s daughter. Calm and rational, per fucking usual. 
She’d debated back and forth with Ben about who should tell her. They’d been dancing around the subject since June, when Adore had first come home for summer; practically rehearsing the conversation. Eventually they’d settled on Bianca - Ben had admitted himself that Bianca’s at times abrasive directness was the way forward. Adore didn’t hold well with people pussyfooting around her, and Ben was always a little too delicate with her feelings. He’d been the ideal Good Cop to Bianca’s bad one when Adore was little - but she was nineteen now, had moved out almost a year ago, and was as close to a real adult as she was realistically ever gonna be. She needed someone to be straight with her. And, well, out of the two of them, Bianca was probably the closest thing to straight. Even after nearly twenty years of marriage. 
The split itself had been more than amicable, since years of planning had gone into it. The only slight point of contention had been, in the process of unpicking and rewriting both of their advanced directives, Ben had been pretty insistent on her keeping the part about San June-whatever-the-fuck - that weird Cookie Heaven thing which she’d hoped would just be a passing fad when Ben brought it up last spring, but had only gained more traction and more apparent success. 
She’d tried to reason with him about Adore being a grown-up now, and how she’d made it through the last year without shuffling off this mortal coil, and so their respective deaths were probably a far-future issue that they shouldn’t be so worried about right now, but it hadn’t flown. Bianca had spent long enough in lawyers’ offices debating bullshit to have any useful argument left in her. She’d thought the divorce process would be less of a nightmare since it was agreed upon by both parties prior to the fucking wedding, but apparently she’d thought wrong.
“Because we…” Bianca sighs, facepalming. Adore has tears in her eyes. Shit, she really hadn’t been expecting this. “Because he’s gay, Adore.” 
Adore’s eyes pop again. Bianca clamps a hand over her mouth before she gets a chance to cover her in overpriced coffee again. 
“Daddy’s gay?” Adore blurts out as soon as she manages to swallow. 
“Duh?” That just tumbles out of Bianca’s mouth without any real thought. “Are you really telling me that you never suspected anything?” 
“No? I thought he was just like…I dunno, really into theater. Did you just find out? Holy shit, are you okay?” Adore reaches for Bianca’s hand a little frantically. Bianca laughs, shaking her head. 
“Nope - I’ve always known. Dorey, I…” she sighs again, realizing how ridiculous this sounds. “Listen, when a gay man and a bisexual live together, and they get really, really drunk this one time…” 
“Ohmigod, you’re bi?” 
How unobservant is this fucking kid? 
“Yeah - surprise. Now you know why we were so fucking chill about it when you cut all your hair off and started begging for a pair of Doc Martens when you were twelve,” Bianca says, chuckling. 
A confused look washes over Adore’s face. “But I…you always seemed so in love.”
“We decided we were gonna get married and pretend to be normal so that we didn’t fuck you up,” Bianca shrugs. “Which clearly worked super well.” 
Adore cracks a smile. It feels good to see her smile. 
Since Adore moved out for college - miracle of fucking miracles - the rift between them that her teenage years had created seemed to fill itself in. Bianca felt closer to her; felt the warmth of her love without hesitation or denial for the first time in years. She was like a different person. Happy - blossoming into herself. She’d started posting her music on social media, and was getting enough buzz to land gigs here and there. And she hadn’t just stopped pushing Bianca away, but had started actively reaching out for her. She called her at least once every couple of days because she missed her; messaged her constantly. Just frivolous little updates about her days, or pictures of dogs that she’d seen - silly little shit. But it felt good. 
She’d worried that it wouldn’t last. But Adore had come home for summer, and as it trailed to an end, there’d been no second coming of their years-long bitch-feud. Everything had been fucking glorious. 
“Boo, you’re mean,” Adore says playfully. 
“For the record, we were good at faking being in love because we both love you,” Bianca says, reaching out to take Adore’s hand. She’s bitten off two of her acrylics again - Bianca is a little suspicious about which two exactly, and briefly debates calling her out for it. Whatever - she’s an adult, she can do what she wants. But Bianca is taking her to get a manicure once they get done oversharing in the middle of this cafe, because it looks like shit. “That’s not gonna change. But you’re probably gonna end up with stepparents.” 
Adore looks down. She’s always done this cute little smirky thing when she’s embarrassed - eyes fixed to the floor, quietly smiling to herself. Bianca loves it. 
“Are you dating anyone right now?” 
Bianca rolls her eyes. 
“We’re not dating-dating. But yeah - her name is Katya, I met her online.”
“Is she hot?”
“None of your business - she’s too old for you anyway,” Bianca shoots Adore a warning look. “Your dad was on a date last night, too - some guy called Darius, apparently it went really well. But I’m gonna look into getting his room soundproofed.” 
“Ewwww,” Adore clamps her hands over her ears, laughing. “You’re being gross. Stop being gross.” 
“Don’t ask questions you’re not prepared to hear the answer to,” Bianca grins. “Are you good now? Or do you feel like spitting coffee all over me again? I really enjoyed it that first time.” 
“Honestly? I always wondered why none of my friends’ parents had their own bedrooms,” Adore thinks out loud. Bianca shakes her head, chuckling. 
“I love you so much, you fucking moron.”

hello!! thanks for answering my ask abt the comfort stuff, tumblr is horrible with asks sometimes TT and please take as long as you need!!!
i would really appreciate some comfort with ray,, i kinda have this recurring fantasy ig about confiding about my trauma n family stuff in him but even in such a fictional scenario I feel bad about ‘complaining’ because it’s not nearly as bad as what he went through ;;; though I really relate to him as a character and logically I know it’s Pretty Bad. i guess what im trying to say is that I would like ray to tell me my pain is valid,, or something along those lines. thank you.
Ray hates it when you have tears in your eyes. He can’t stand to see you hurt or upset. it’s like his world is caving in around him. He can’t imagine seeing you in a place where you can’t stop crying and hiding away from the rest of the world. It’s like someone told him he couldn’t see the sky. It crushes him and he can’t stand it. He brought you to Magenta so he could protect you and keep you safe from any harm that could find you.
If there was something that he couldn’t stop... like this hurt inside of your heart?
He feels like he’s not good enough for you. He fears that he didn’t do enough to make this place safe. How can the past keep finding you? He’s doing so much to erase the bad memories by giving you happier memories... but you’re still lost in a sea of anguish. What can he do? He thinks for hours about what he can try to do but he always comes up blank. He doesn’t know how to take away the hurt from your heart.
With trembling digits, all he knows to do is take you by the hand and lead you into the gardens. He won’t let go just because he’s afraid the pain might take your heart away from him again. You don’t see a point in telling him that your body is tired or that you’d rather not bother him with your feelings.. you’ve tried to tell him that you’ll feel better in the morning but you know that’s a lie. He can see it’s a lie, too. Trauma knows trauma, and that’s undeniable.
“Ray...?”
He grips your hand tighter when you say his name.
“Where are we going?”
His back stiffens when you ask him anything about his actions.
It takes him a few minutes to respond. He led you throughout the grounds to places that you hadn’t been before. It was late into the evening so you noticed fewer lamps placed along the pathway. The darker it became, the closer that you were pulled into his embrace. He didn’t want you to trip over anything or get hurt because he wasn’t paying attention to everything.
You weren’t sure what was on his mind, just that you were tucked closely into his arms underneath his coat. You felt the cravat he was wearing tickle your nose as you took in a breath. It wasn’t too chilly outside but you knew that he’d say that it was better to be like this, anyway. You felt safe with him... and he felt safer right by your side. It was better this way.
“Prince/ss, I know I don’t... say it enough, but I’m happy you’re here with me. I wish that I knew ways to better take care of you when you feel bad. If I could do anything... everything for you... I would. I would take care of you like a butler if I had to do, cleaning you, feeding you, giving you anything you could ever desire and need, I would. I promise I will do my best to keep you safe in my garden of protection. Nothing bad can reach you when you’re with me. I promise. I know my voice is small and I’m not very confident... but I won’t let anyone lay a hand on you. I won’t let your darkest thoughts get you. Your pain... I wish you never had to suffer.” 
“But, it’s okay now. You suffered but you won’t any more. I won’t let you suffer. I will take all your suffering away. Your pain... it’s real... it’s so real that I can feel the anguish in your heart. I want to make your pain go away... I never want it to touch you again. Let me in... let me into your heart so I can protect you from all this pain, my flower. You know my suffering, and I yours. We have experienced so much pain... but together... together we can be safe.”

hello, it’s me again. :]
thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. when i saw your response, i cried; you have no idea how much that meant to me, especially because i’m a total stranger to you, and you didn’t really need to do that. <3 it really picked me up and helped me get through today as well as the rest of yesterday, and for that i can’t thank you enough. i’d also like to send love to 🧸 anon, you both are such wonderful and compassionate people, at least in my book. :] i feel really cozy here i guess, it’s like this is a big book club except we are all also obsessed w oscar isaac, hehe.
but enough w cheesy stuff ig!! how was your day, callie? (if i’m allowed to call you that) i’d like to ask abt your hcs for jake, anything that comes to your mind. i’ve been having brainrot abt him recently, i could probably write an essay if i wanted to.
- <3
hi, my love! how are you ☺️🤍
awwwe you’re absolutely welcome! it hurts me seeing others having a rough time so i always do my best to make them feel even the slightest bit better :)
a “book club” omggg i love that so much 😭 yup, okay that’s what this blog is now. we are one big, happy oscar isaac-book club. everyone else, feel free to join us! we have milk and cookies ✨
ofc you’re allowed to call me callie!! but my day has been good so far! it’s still morning where i’m at so not much has actually happened hehe. and jake headcanons you ask? well, here’s a little fluffy something i whipped up on a whim…
a quiet saturday morning with jake lockley:
jake is a bit of an early riser, so it’s not too surprising to see the other side of the bed empty.
you don’t seem to mind that much, however. not with smell of coffee lingering in the air.
jake makes you the best coffee. period. no other coffee shops could ever top what he specially brews for you.
“buenos dias, mi amor. how’d you sleep last night?”
rich, espresso eyes meet yours in an adoring gaze. he looks cozy just standing there, his dark curls all tousled out of place as he shoots you with a beaming smile that warms you up oh so lovely like the morning sun.
your heart skips a beat as he leans in slow to press a featherlight kiss to your forehead before handing you the ceramic mug in his hold.
between the fresh coffee and jake now cuddling up next to you in bed, you don’t know which one is more heavenly.
you settle beside him afterwards, nuzzling further into jake’s chest as his strong arms curling around your frame.
“what should we do today?” you ask him softly, and you feel him smiling against your skin.
“anything you want, mi cielito,” jake whispers in a dozy tone. “as long as i get to spend the whole day with you, we can do anything you want.”
you bite back a soft sigh as he peppers tender kisses all over your face.
yup. this is definitely heaven.
all of this right here, surrounded by jake’s warm and loving embrace, is undoubtedly your heaven, and nothing else in the world could ever compare.
thanks so much for stopping by again sweetheart! you’re always welcome over here and i hope you stick around 💖

hello amanda i am also mad at u but i will answer these asks anyway
2. What are you obsessed with right now?
ok, so i said previously that I'm obsessed with mini solo cups. I am also obsessed with... uh... looking around... thinking. OH I GOT A CACTUS PEN that i am really into. hold on lemme take a pic
Tumblr media
i just think he has so much character and pizzazz.
11. If you could teleport anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?
Boston! lol idk... I'm not a very traveled person. But I think if I could go anywhere, I'd probably teleport to one of my lil internet buddies. sorry if that's a lame answer. Yali is sick rn so I think I'd like to go to her house and make her some soup or smthn.
20. What is something you’re obsessed with?
fuck i have to talk about MORE things I'm obsessed with??? omg the pressure is immense and overwhelming, you know how much i hate talking about things!! I'm so unpassionate and shy. uhh, I'm also really obsessed with Rhett and Link today. I've been watching through their sextember segment in their podcast and that's been a lot of fun! My internet dads <33 I also just love hearing people talk openly and positively about their experiences with sex and how their viewpoints have matured as they've grown older. Rhett had a little recording of when he gave his 9 yo the sex talk and it made me laugh a lot <3
32. If you could live in a fictional world, what world would you pick?
idk, man, I really like This World, actually, even with all its flaws. any other world would just have so many too... like, immediately i went "ooh superheroes" and then I thought of someone killing me with their laser eyes and i was like "maybe not"
49. Who do you text the most?
Fuck, I dont know?? I'm a chronic over-texter. Molly has said I basically livetweet in my friends dms and she's right. Like I just make conversation with the air. There's a lot of friends I talk to daily or almost daily. I talk to you a lot! I think we talk pretty much every day. And I talk to Yali every day!! I talk to Maya every day I think or almost every day. I usually catch her at 2 am before I go to bed. Only after I've said "good morning" to Maya can I truly sleep peacefully. I talk to Monse pretty much every day! I talk to Ashley almost every day. I annoy Anna most days. I livetweet at Molly almost every day. I talk to my irl friends Grace, Monroe, and Brilynn every day. Yeah, basically ig what I'm saying is I that I have a ton of super cool nice funny friends because I'm also so cool and nice and funny and we just cant get enough of each other day in and day out :/ yknow how it is. a real burden.
I think if we're measuring this numerically, the person who has gotten the most texts from me ever is Molly. I text her about dicks a lot.
Tumblr media
for context, most of my other very close friends have about 20-30k messages from me.

hello, hottie-cutie!! good morning!! how did your live sound check go? 'wait you read genshin fanfics?' hm well.. these pretty boys.. also idk anything about ekaterina but the fact my name is in genshin?? 'i have met a bunch of hannahs in college' ive just imagined a bunch of yous looking at each other like in that spider-men meme TT 'we all call kitties in the ph mingming or muning' oooh it's cute. you can call me this hfjdjd if you want. we call cats with kiskis (hope you meant it bc idk if i got you right) 'i think it has to do with the sound they make' yeah ig every language has words that imitate animal's sounds but interpret them differently. it's a cute and amusing difference. 'i hate raising my voice' so true. since i only knew how my mom expressed anger through raising her voice, now i do it unintentionally?? so i try to just not talk.. i'm really proud of your good job at calming yourself and all. it's admirable. this world is too angry. 'i hate angriness so much.' so true. 'im so annoyed im making everything so long' it's totally fine. you have life beside tumblr and it like.. takes time. so everything's fine. take your time. it's not a job or some real responsibility to have strict deadlines. dont forget to enjoy it all! it's exciting to know youre writing modern au (ok can we say wfal? anything i'm running out of symbols TT). hope it's not overwhelming or too much. 'also ive been trying not to curse' curse *devil emoji* no but if it's your goal or kind of a challenge for yourself, i respect it and hope you'll do well. but cursing isnt really bad! it's a big part of language's vocabulary so i see it as a real crime to forbid it. 'i was checking to see if you sent me a message and i was like 'oh i didnt get a message today’ ghfjdkdj lol it's funny how i've been only sending you the message when (as i learned later) you had already got up. like it was 7:40 in philippines? 'pls dont forget i will always reply to you' TT arent you cute?? thanks TT love you TT i cant really help my anxiety but im trying to calm myself with your kind words, thanks for you patience TT 'OMG YES I GOT THE NEW CHARACTER LOOK' OMG congratulations!!! so happy for you! hes hot. rip for his weakness. yk men are just never enough, its not your fault. 'i only play it to kill the enemies and to explore AND TO GET CHARACTERS' respectable. ig enjoyment is the aim of playing games? so if you're satisfied with it it's perfect. i'm really lucky my bestie didn't continue to play genshin bc the last time she liked a game, she made me download phasmophobia... and my laptop was hardly even alive... 1) it wasnt hbo it was a fucking COMPLEX SUBSCRIPTION on a russian idk browser? it has its own system with the plenty of services including the one that gives access to hbo. it just was the one they offered me to try fro free TT 2) and they NEVER replied me. no im not crying. suddenly i've read some articles on the wiki of ice and fire and all of the english cursing words are too soft to describe this PIZDETZ. the only thought i had was imsorryimsorry. like i knew about the dance of the dragons and all but later?? i still want to read the books later but it was just... idk i was just a little shocked and A LOT regretful.. i've also just started watching helluva boss bc i've seen a lot of shorts with the dad/daughter moments that made me pour my heart out with tears. daddy issues strike bad. though i've come to hate daddy kink in a way? not screaming it's disgusting why do you want to fuck your dad way but reading a pretty fic, seeing 'tell me whos your daddy' 'oh daddy fuck me harder' and closing the tab silently way. guess my daddy issues conflicted with the insecurities about being too big and these fic's always teeny-tine sweet readers... not my type ig. sugar daddies though? yeah i liked that modern sugar daddy au yk... money sounds attractive af. hope it wasn't too much!! glad to know i bring your mood up. have a nice day!! good luck with the classes (online or offline or whatever)!! love you! take care and get some rest before the homework <з
MEOW HELLOW YOURE SO EARLY TODAY???? DID YOU SLEEP 😡
Tumblr media
LOOK AT THIS KITTY IS THIS DREAM OF THE ENDLESS IN CAT FORM? (lol just say yes even tho you dont know him HAHAHHAH)

T_T it was tiring. i was supposed to work out before i left for school because i work out every other day, but i woke up pretty early and so i didnt feel like working out, and it was a pretty good choice, i think, becAUSE WE DID SO MUCH MANUAL LABOR IN CARRYING EQUIPMENT BACK AND FORTH FROM THE 6th to 12th floor T_T LIKE BIG SPEAKERS AND DRUMS AND BOXES AND H:LAHF:ASF i was sweating T_T but it was pretty enjoyable i felt like i was the main character AHHAAHHAH even though i couldnt even perform like how i secretly wanted to. T_T
'wait you read genshin fanfics?' hm well.. these pretty boys.. also idk anything about ekaterina but the fact my name is in genshin??
HAHAHAHAHA YOURE SO REAL FOR THAT ME WITH MATT SMITH FR HAHAHAHAHAHHAHH my archnemesis. also
Tumblr media
apparently this is ekaterina T_T and idk i havent been paying attention to the lore so i think she's an extra and idk anything about her HAHAHHAAH
'i have met a bunch of hannahs in college' ive just imagined a bunch of yous looking at each other like in that spider-men meme TT
T_T LOL NONE OF THE HANNAHS IVE EVER MET LOOK EVEN REMOTELY SIMILAR TO ME but its still a pretty funny thought.
'we all call kitties in the ph mingming or muning' oooh it's cute. you can call me this hfjdjd if you want. we call cats with kiskis (hope you meant it bc idk if i got you right)
yes yes! you got it right. ITS SO FUNNY YOU CALL CATS WITH KISKIS HASHFLHASF SO CUTE KISS KISS MWAH MWAH and sure you can be my muning mingming kitty kitty cat cat <3 <3
'i think it has to do with the sound they make' yeah ig every language has words that imitate animal's sounds but interpret them differently. it's a cute and amusing difference.
HONESTLY ITS SO INTERESTING AND FUNNY TO THINK THAT SOUNDS DIFFER IN COUNTRIES T_T like frog for example is it ribbit in english T_T ???? like ok but in filipino its kokak and i think it's more correct AHHAAHAHAHAH what is it in russian
'i hate raising my voice' so true. since i only knew how my mom expressed anger through raising her voice, now i do it unintentionally?? so i try to just not talk.. i'm really proud of your good job at calming yourself and all. it's admirable. this world is too angry. 'i hate angriness so much.' so true.
omg even are moms are the same T_T generational trauma coming through T_T i made that decision because of her tbh T_T [hug] anger is so ugly bOOOO TOMATO TOMATO 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
'im so annoyed im making everything so long' it's totally fine. you have life beside tumblr and it like.. takes time. so everything's fine. take your time. it's not a job or some real responsibility to have strict deadlines. dont forget to enjoy it all! it's exciting to know youre writing modern au (ok can we say wfal? anything i'm running out of symbols TT). hope it's not overwhelming or too much.
HAHAAH WE CAN CALL IT WFAL waffle 🧇 i lof it HAHAHA
'also ive been trying not to curse' curse *devil emoji* no but if it's your goal or kind of a challenge for yourself, i respect it and hope you'll do well. but cursing isnt really bad! it's a big part of language's vocabulary so i see it as a real crime to forbid it.
😈😈😈😈 HHAHHAHHAHHH. idk cursing is kinda ugly but so fun HAHHAAHAAH i love how passionate you are to vocabulary and language <3
'i was checking to see if you sent me a message and i was like 'oh i didnt get a message today’ ghfjdkdj lol it's funny how i've been only sending you the message when (as i learned later) you had already got up. like it was 7:40 in philippines?
T_T thats so thoughtful of you tbh <3 I HOPE YOURE NOT SENDING ME MESSAGES IN EARLY-LATE HOURS T_T😡😡😡😡
'pls dont forget i will always reply to you' TT arent you cute?? thanks TT love you TT i cant really help my anxiety but im trying to calm myself with your kind words, thanks for you patience TT

Tumblr media
he deserves the world T_T
i wanted to share mah girls too but maybe next time this is getting too long
'i only play it to kill the enemies and to explore AND TO GET CHARACTERS' respectable. ig enjoyment is the aim of playing games? so if you're satisfied with it it's perfect. i'm really lucky my bestie didn't continue to play genshin bc the last time she liked a game, she made me download phasmophobia... and my laptop was hardly even alive...
HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHAAHHA i had a freind who played phasmophobia and asked if i wanted to join but horror freaks me out so i said HECK NO. WHAT IF YOU PLAY GENSHIN WITH ME HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAAH <3 <3 <3
1) it wasnt hbo it was a fucking COMPLEX SUBSCRIPTION on a russian idk browser? it has its own system with the plenty of services including the one that gives access to hbo. it just was the one they offered me to try fro free TT
ah SCAMMMMEEEERRRRRSSS T_T /: HAHHAHAH
2) and they NEVER replied me. no im not crying.
it ok u can cry scammers are heartless
suddenly i've read some articles on the wiki of ice and fire and all of the english cursing words are too soft to describe this PIZDETZ. the only thought i had was imsorryimsorry.
HAHHAAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHH
like i knew about the dance of the dragons and all but later?? i still want to read the books later but it was just... idk i was just a little shocked and A LOT regretful..
lol you wanna talk about it? HAHAHAH i dont really care but that blood and cheese thing, according to one girl on tiktok, you should either read about or watch and so ive been avoiding it but idc anymore tbh
i've also just started watching helluva boss bc i've seen a lot of shorts with the dad/daughter moments that made me pour my heart out with tears. daddy issues strike bad. though i've come to hate daddy kink in a way? not screaming it's disgusting why do you want to fuck your dad way but reading a pretty fic, seeing 'tell me whos your daddy' 'oh daddy fuck me harder' and closing the tab silently way.
MY JAW ON THE FLOOR HAHAHHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH. i dont know helluva boss so i looked it up. im glad you enjoy it? do you enjoy it? DADDY ISSUES T_T you like me fr but idk i dont care about what people think about what i read like im reblogging so the writer knows how much i like it you can judge me all you want. idk i dont think i have daddy issues HAHHAAHAH i just really like the idea of a man all rugged and handsome and rich taking care of me. maybe i am mentally ill smh HAHAAHHH
guess my daddy issues conflicted with the insecurities about being too big and these fic's always teeny-tine sweet readers... not my type ig.
T_T i kiss. im luv u. youre not too big. 'too' is not real. its a social construct. you're just you and that's enough <3
sugar daddies though? yeah i liked that modern sugar daddy au yk... money sounds attractive af.
HAHHHAHAHA youre talking about that fic i reblogged right? JAJA I LOVE HTAT TOO HAHAHHAH gimme me all ur cash
hope it wasn't too much!! glad to know i bring your mood up.
not at all <3 you do bring up my mood very much
have a nice day!! good luck with the classes (online or offline or whatever)!! love you! take care and get some rest before the homework <з
<3 you too my love. i love you take care I HOPE YOURE BETTER NOW WITH YOUR FEVER AND ALL

Hey Swan, I’ve got a lot hope that’s alright
🌈🌸🦄🦋⛅️
you just want the world to know how interesting i am tbh.
🌈 things i find attractive in girls/guys:
well, as a lowlife queercel, i would say things i find attractive in girls & guys & everyone that doesn’t fit that label are kind of a mixed bag. i really like someone who makes me laugh, weirdos with odd interests and interesting perspectives. i like socially aware people who aren’t intimidated by conversation. compassionate, kind, silly, fun. i don’t really fall for physical attributes. like dimples and freckles are cute but only if the person has a cute personality as well. idk. but to amuse you, i also like men with big asses or big arms and tattoos. and brown eyes. and all different types of women. women women women. if there’s a woman, you can bet i’ll be nice to her. i love darker complexions and maybe like a gothic lit personality/eerie silent type?
🌸 what is your favorite flower?
my favorite flower is cherry parfait roses, pink roses, or midnight petunias. i don’t know, man. again, it depends on my hyperfixation. but generally those.
🦄 how do you perceive yourself?
as a learner, a talker, someone who marches to the beat of their own drum. someone who is always changing. honest and goofy. someone very few get the chance to love.
🦋how do you think others perceive you?
depends ig. some ppl think i’m insightful and well-versed in marxism. some ppl think i’m annoying and clingy and want to be luke when i clearly want to be harry or padmé or hello kitty. some ppl think i’m funny. some think i’m an extrovert (i am clearly not). they either completely misjudge me and never get the chance to hold my friendship or they gain the most chaotic nd girlypop bestie they’ve ever met.
⛅️ what is your morning routine?
on a good day, i wake up and get out of bed. i have coffee and water. a lot of water. i wash my face, floss, brush my teeth, and apply things in this order: serum, eye cream, spot treatment, vitamin e oil, moisturizer, and sunscreen. i will stretch, meditate for ten minutes, read/write at least something, then i’ll watch youtube. when i’m done i’ll make food with you. lol. this is—if i’m not withering away.

"What Manny Can't Fix" Review: Chapters 26 and 27
Welcome back and welcome again to my review of "What Manny Can't Fix", a Handy Manny fanfic that- dare I say it- is just not very good.
Last time, Iron Grip ran away from Anne's garage and ended up staying the night in a pet shop in San Diego. Today, Iron Grip sets off again- but we're going to check up on what Carrie's doing first.
(And as always, if you'd like to start this review series from the beginning, Chapter 1 is here.)
Chapter 26
That morning Carrie was ecstatic.
Not for long!
Her heart was a flutter as she headed over to her maid of honor to prepare for the wedding.
What heart?
Also, as counterintuitive as it might seem, “aflutter” is actually one word.
"You're...look….. stunning!" A multimeter said, positioning a torn trash bag over Carrie's head as a makeshift veil.
If it was established in the Chapter 18 that there’s some company somewhere in this story’s universe that makes tool-sized earmuffs, why isn’t there some company somewhere that makes tool-sized wedding veils?
"Thanks Shock….." She said, a small blush forming on her cheeks as she gently adjusted the veil.
Oh hello new character! I’d just like to ask you a few questions about where you were when Wisp and Iron Grip had that big fight…
Shock giggled a bit, looking at Carrie from every angle to make sure she looked perfect.
"Am I ready?" Carrie asked.
"I don't think I can't answer that." Shock giggled again. "I'm a voltage reader not a mind reader!"
Ha. Ha.
Carrie laughed a bit. "No, I mean do I look good?"
"You always look good." Shock said, adjusting the veil again.
Carrie shuddered a bit against her touch, feeling a bit disappointed when she finally pulled back.
"But now, you're perfect for a wedding!"
"Thanks for helping me get ready." Carrie said.
"Of course!" Shock said. "This is one of the most important days of your life! I want to make sure it's perfect!"
"It will be." Carrie sighed happily. "Iron Grip is just so sweet, and kind, and gentle."
She felt her heart swell with emotion as she gushed about her fiance.
"Good morning!' Anne greeted, holding a small bouquet of flowers. "Are you excited?'
Carrie nodded. "Yeah….but...I...I'm a little nervous too…"
"That's okay." She said, stroking her side in comfort. "Being nervous is normal….but it's going to be great!"
"Thank you…." Carrie said with a small smile.
"Well, everything's set up." Anne said. "Are you ready?"
Carrie exhaled slightly. "Ready…."
Anne carried Shock and Carrie over to the work bench where the wedding was set up.
Since in this story’s world human society knows about the living tools, shouldn’t Carrie and IG be able to have a more “official” wedding?
Or do tools just prefer their weddings done in… “DIY style”?
She set them both down. 
Sorry, that joke was bad.
Carrie looked around. "Where's Iron Grip?"
Anne frowned and looked around. "I don't know...I'll go look for him…."
Anne walked off, leaving Carrie with Shock.
"Where could he be?" Carrie asked, mainly to herself.
"Did you ever consider the possibility that you have a run away groom on your hands?" Wisp spoke up from the other workbench.
In that context, “runaway” should be one word.
"What are you doing here?" Carrie asked. "You weren't invited to this wedding."
Um, you’re having the wedding in the garage. Where he lives.
"Hey, I'm just saying." Wisp said. "It's possible he abandoned you."
"Iron Grip would never do that!" Carrie argued. "He loves me!"
"Mhm, and that's why he left you at the altar?" He asked.
"He didn't! He's just running late!"
"You have some nerve, coming to Carrie's wedding and pulling this crap!" Shock yelled. "Just leave!"
Yeah! Get out of here, you worse version of Iago!
Wisp smirked slightly. "All right ladies, I'll go. But, you should really think about what I said…" Then he hopped off.
Tears swelled up in Carrie's eyes, as she leaned against Shock.
Unnecessary comma! Woohoo!
Shock pulled her closer and comforted her. "Don't listen to him. Iron Grip wouldn't leave you like that." She wiped a stray tear away from Carrie's cheek.
Wow, another character who’s unrealistically pure, compassionate, kind, and always somehow does the best thing possible in any given circumstance. Plunker, I think you have some competition!
She sniffled and leaned closer to her. When Anne came back, she quickly tried to compose herself.
Carrie quickly noticed she was empty handed. 
"Where's Iron Grip?" 
Anne frowned and shook her head. "I…. don't know…."
Tears rolled down Carrie's cheek as she started to cry again. 
Anne picked her up and hugged her close. 
"I...I can't believe he just left me like this?" Carrie sobbed into her. 
"No, no, Iron Grip wouldn't leave you…." Anne frowned. "Maybe…. maybe I just didn't look hard enough….He could still be around the garage.'
Yeah, right.
"You really think so?" Carrie sniffled.
"We can look around for him if you want." She offered.
"Thank you." Carried sniffled.
Anne, Carrie, and Shock went around the garage, looking all over for Iron Grip.
Wisp watched from atop a shelf, beaming with pride as he watched them scurry around. Like mice in a maze...it's kind of sad,really.
No, your punctuation is what’s pretty sad here.
Defeated, Carrie leaned against an old toolbox and sighed deeply.
Shock joined her shortly after, sitting beside her.
"He's not here…" Carrie sniffled. "He's gone…."
"Carrie…."
"He's gone!" She sobbed.
"My, my, I've heard of a blushing bride before, but never a sobbing bride." Wisp let out a dry chuckle.
Is he still on the shelf, or did he hop down to their level? Describe, writer, describe!
"Back off!" Shock warned. "Why can't you just leave her alone!?"
"I just came to check on how the ceremony was going."
"Well, no one asked you to!" Shock said, getting angrier. "Now go!"
"I just wanted to see if Iron Grip had shown up."
"Go!" She snapped again.
Wisp shrugged it off and turned away. "Suit yourself…"
How. Does he shrug. Without shoulders?!
Shock pulled Carrie closer and let her cry into her. "It's going to be okay...I'm here...I'm here…"
Carrie closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Aaaand CHAPTER!
Chapter 27
Iron Grip woke up to the sound of the door creaking open.
Dun dun DUNN!
Panicked, he hid under the butterfly towel, shivering in fear.
"Good morning everyone!" A woman's voice greeted, cheerfully. Iron Grip could hear her opening the blinds and could see the light filter in.
I've gotta get out of here before I get caught…..  
Something tells me that this pet story is a location in canonical Handy Manny and the author only had Rusty visit it so they could pat themselves on the back for their “clever in-joke”.
Slowly, Iron Grip peeked out from under the towel, waiting for the pet store owner to leave so he could escape.
The woman was busy checking on the animals, refilling their food and water.
Anxiously, Iron Grip waited to make his escape. It was when she made her way over to the rabbit cage, he panicked.
Pulling back under the blanket, Iron Grip tried hard not to shake, afraid she'd hear rattling metal and find him.
Hey, remember that “Mater And The Ghostlight” short from Cars, where through the story of a ghostly monster angered by the sound of clanking metal some writer at Pixar who thought he was being funny managed to stealthily canonize car, um, “manufacturing”?
He could see her shoes just inches away from him. Panic flooded through Iron Grip's body as he clamped his jaw shut to avoid any whimpers escaping his mouth.
Wait, why did I just think of Plunker?
Eh, I’m sure it’s nothing.
After what felt like hours, the woman spoke again. "Oh shoot, I'm out of rabbit food...I guess I'll have to check the back for more…."
Once Iron Grip heard the storage room's door open, he quickly got out from under the towel and rushed to the door.
He gripped the door in his jaw and flung it open, cringing when the bell above the door rang. Now even more scared of being caught, Iron Grip rushed outside and ran.
He didn't look back until he was sure he was out of sight of the pet shop.
Breathing heavily, Iron Grip leaned against the wall of a nearby building and dozed off.
You know what that means.
A flashback dream sequence! Oh joy!
"Great job on that repair, team!" Anne said. She looked at Iron Grip and Carrie. "Especially you two."
Ah, yes, “that repair”. Looks like every single fix in this fic is going to be ill-defined since the author doesn’t know anything about repairing stuff and can’t be bothered to do any research.
"We really are a good team. " Carrie said, nuzzling against Iron Grip. "Aren't we?"
"Y-yeah we….we sure are…" Iron Grip said, a deep blush forming on his cheeks.
Wisp rolled his eyes slightly. "It was more than just you two, you know."
"They know that." Anne said, picking him up. "We're all a team."
"Right...right…." Wisp grumbled under his breath. "...A team …"
"Well teammate, what do you wanna do now?" Carrie asked.
Iron Grip shivered slightly. "How about we uh...we...snuggle in the toolbox?"
"Sounds good to me, teammate." She said, giving him another quick kiss on the cheek before heading over.
That was short, which I should like, but some strange part of me misses the long, drawn-out chapters and all the wasted time.
"Hey are you okay?" 
In all my years of existence, I can safely say that I’ve never before seen someone asking if someone else is okay being used as a shocking, chapter-ending dramatic moment.
(The next part of my review has now been posted!)
