"Excuse me, can I talk to you for a moment?" You call out to the beautiful silver haired male. He was working out at the gym and his amazing body caught your eye.
"Sure." Cyno turns to you, sweat dripping down his forehead. He's shirtless and only wearing shorts, his nipple piercings caught your attention.
"Do you have any interest in modeling? You're gorgeous and I wouldn't be able to leave here without asking."
"Thanks." Cyno cheeks heat up, he can't tell if you're into him or not. He kinda hopes it's the former. "I'm not sure though.." He scratches his neck.
"40,000 mora an hour, consider it." You hand him your business card. "If you change your mind, email me your measurements and shoe size. We can figure out a time from there."
Cyno nods and looks down at the card. He doesn't have much reason to model, his job already pays a lot but it might be fun. And it might give him a chance with you.
He decides to do some research once he gets home, you're a pretty well known company but what he wasn't expecting was to see exactly what kind of company you have.
While it's true that you do modeling, you also host camboys, pornstars, and porn magazine models.
Curiously, he clicks on one of the videos on your website. It's a regular porn video with you and a dark haired man wearing lingerie.
He finds his hand sneaking underneath his shorts to finger himself halfway through the video, he can't help but wish he was the guy in the video.
If he comes by will you fuck him like that too? Make him call you daddy and treat him like nothing more than a doll? He moans, coming at the thought.
He has an email to send now.
──────────────────
"Cyno! I'm glad you came!" You grin, waving at him as he enters the room. "The dressing room is over there, the makeup team will help you after you get dressed."
Cyno nods and enters the room. He takes the clothes and puts them on, leaving out one of the pieces.
Around 10 minutes later, he comes back, his appearance making a tent in your pants.
"You didn't wear the black undershirt?"
He's wearing a sheer crop top that's anything but opaque along with a dark miniskirt, a thong, fishnets, and boots that made him a few inches taller. Along with matching makeup, you hope you can fuck him and ruin his mascara by the end of the day.
"I like it better without it." He says.
You smirk. "Me too." You walk up to him and pull up the strings of his thong, making him moan. "You wear it like this." You wink.
Cyno breathes heavily. "What now..?"
"We'll start the shoot."
Your team quickly gets him into multiple positions, he was willing to do sexual poses so you and everyone else had a lot of fun with him. He wasn't worried about losing his job since he knows coworkers who are or have been in the industry. The job seems to pay well enough that he even if he does, he'll be fine.
There were a lot of photos taken from below, his thong was thankfully dark enough to hide how wet he was.
After the shoot, Cyno had been offered to keep the outfit since it looks so good on him. He accepted it quickly, hoping you'll fuck him in it next.
You brought him to your office to write him the check and discuss further opportunities.
"From the way you acted during the photo shoot, I'm assuming you know what kind of company this is?" You sit at your desk, pulling out your checkbook.
Cyno nods. "Yes."
"Then, is there anything other than modeling that you're interested in doing for the company?" You ask, writing a check for 160,000 Mora.
"What would allow me to work with you?" He asks, not dancing around the question at all.
You smirk. "You mean, like having sex with me?"
Cyno nods.
"Well, you could become a pornstar. I doubt you'd want to work with anyone else so you can come every once in a while to shoot a video with me." You smile and hand him the check. "For today, if you'd like, we can shoot the casting video together."
Cyno nods eagerly.
──────────────────
Cyno sits down on the couch adjacent to yours, ignoring the camera and looking at you.
"Tell us about yourself."
"My name is Cyno. I'm 23 years old. I'm from Sumeru and I like working out and playing card games."
"Are you on the pill? Condom or no condom?"
"Yes, no condom. You can come inside."
"Noted." You wink. "Do you have any kinks or preferences?" You tilt your head, clear interest on your face.
"I like being treated roughly and getting praised, I like being degraded too. I would let you do anything you want to me honestly.." He looks to the side. "And, I like it big."
You grin. "What about your sex life? Anything you're comfortable sharing?"
"I haven't had the time for it. I've done it a few times in my school years but that's it."
"So we'll have to make sure you're ready to take me." You smile. "Could you spread your legs?"
Cyno immediately does as he's asked.
"Move the thong to the side, show us your pretty pussy." You watch as Cyno moves the fabric aside. "Goodness, you're already so wet. You must be excited. Finger yourself."
Cyno slips a finger inside then another. "I touched myself like this last night...when I watched one of your videos."
"Yeah? Which one?"
"The one with...Venti. Where he was calling you daddy." He answers, thrusting his fingers in and out rapidly. "I liked the things you called him...I wanted you to call me that too."
You stand up, a smaller camera in hand, and walk over to Cyno. You hold his face gently and bring his head upwards while pointing the camera at him. "You're adorable."
His cheeks warm up and his eyes shut close as he orgasms. You move the camera down to his cunt, silently asking him to move his fingers out of the way so the camera could see his cum dripping out of his pulsing hole.
Cyno stares at your boner, practically drooling. You move the camera back up to his face. "Go ahead, take it out."
He quickly unbuckles your belt and pulls your pants down, wasting no time with getting your cock out. He licks the tip of your cock experimentally before wrapping his lips around it and sucking slowly.
You move his hair out of the way. "You look so pretty sucking my cock." You groan. "Doing so well for me."
Cyno's cheeks are burning at this point, an impossible to ignore sensation in his stomach and a throbbing feeling in his cunt.
You notice him rubbing his thighs together and you pull them apart, playing with his little t-dick to give him the pleasure he was chasing.
Cyno shuts his eyes, moaning along your length as he sucks it diligently.
You pull him away gently. "How about we take this to the bed?"
Cyno nods, following you to the large king sized bed. He takes his boots off and sits on the bed, looking at you in anticipation.
"Aren't you a pretty little slut." Your hand wanders along his body lightly, making him shiver. "Ready?"
He nods, watching you tower over him and letting you spread his legs. You spank his pussy, earning a twitch and moan from Cyno.
You push his skirt up and direct the small camera to his sex, slapping your dick on it before finally entering.
"Yes-" Cyno whispers, biting his lip as you fill him up, his stomach bulging from your cock. You hand the camera to your assistant and push his top up, bunching it up around his collarbone, and lick one of his sensitive nipples. You roll your tongue around the pierced bud, the sensations almost enough to make Cyno come just from that.
You pull away from his warm chest and wrap your hand around his neck, your other hand giving his other nipple the attention it deserves. You look for any signs of discomfort before fucking into him roughly.
Cyno moans like a whore, grinning with his hands wrapped tightly on your wrist so you don't pull away. "Yes~!"
It doesn't take long for tears to form in his eyes, threatening to ruin his mascara and eyeliner.
"Your pussy feels so fucking good, princess-" You groan. Cyno heats up from his head to his neck, cunt tightening around your cock from hearing one of the words he's dreamed about you calling him. "Yeah, squeeze my cock baby, just like that."
Cyno rolls his eyes back, blabbering as he squirts. "Daddy~!" He manages to say before you fuck him into an almost brainless state, tears of pleasure rapidly falling down his cheeks.
"That's a good boy, making Daddy feel good with your slutty little pussy." You grin. "Gonna make me come so fast, princess."
Cyno has a goofy smile on his face as you use his body to reach your own release, whispering 'yes', 'more', and 'daddy' over and over.
Your thrusts lessen but keep their roughness as you get close, eventually coming to a complete stop as you fill Cyno up with your spend.
You take a moment to catch your breath, taking that time to admire the makeup running down his cheeks.
You let go of his neck and take your camera from your assistant, pulling out to record your cum dripping out of him.
"That's a wrap." You call out. "Would you like me to help you get cleaned up, doll?"
Cyno nods gently.

Photographer 📸
Pedri Gonzales x reader
One shot
Fluff
Tumblr media
"You're staring"
"Am not"
"Take a picture, it'll last longer"
That was kind of ironic coming from your co-worker giving the fact that you were a photographer for FC Barcelona and that was your job: taking pictures of the players. "Actually that's what I'm going to do" you said, snapping some in the mean time of a certain player that always caught your eye: Pedro Gonzales. He looked adorable with that red tint on his cheeks after the game, and his smile when his teammates congratulated him for the 100th game in Barça's t-shirt and the winning goal he scored.
After the game ended and Pedri received his t-shirt, your co-worker, Luigi, was asked to take some pictures in the changing rooms because some of the players were looking indecent. You rolled you eyes, but waited until almost everyone was out so you could sneak in. You hoped Pedri wasn't indecent, but that wouldn't have been a problem. "Y/N? What are you doing here?" He asked confused. "Came to take some pictures with the man of the match" you said. "But Luigi—". "Shush. Pose for me" you said. "Alright" Pedri chuckled. "Perfecto" you whispered. "tú eres perfecto, no yo (you are perfect, not me)" he said. "I mean it, Y/N. You're so good in everything you do and you're so talented" he said when you opened your mouth to object. "Thanks Pedri. I should go, but congrats for the goal" you said. "Gracias". "Can I give you a hug?" You asked. "Sure, but you don't have to ask" he laughed. And just like that, you gave your crush a tight hug that lasted for about 5 seconds, but it will last forever in your memory.
"Nice pictures" You slightly jumped at the sound of that voice, a voice that caused butterflies to erupt in your stomach. "Gracias Pedri" you smiled. "Hopefully they'll post them" he said. You didn't realise how close he was until now: he slightly bent his head over your shoulder to take a better look at your laptop, his breath fanning over your neck. "That's PR. I'm just a simple photographer" you sighed. "The best photographer" he corrected. "¿Que esta pasando ahí? (What's happening here?" Pablo asked. "Pedro tratando de conseguir su amor para ser su novia (Pedro trying to get his crush to be his girlfriend)" Ansu answered. You looked a bit confused when Pedri told them to fuck off. "Sorry about that" he chuckled nervously. "It's okay... I need to finish editing these photos anyway" you said, closing your laptop and hurrying down the hall to your office. "Y/N... wait" he yelled, catching up with you. "Do you want to... maybe... watch a movie? Together?" He asked. "Are you asking me out, Pedro Gonzales?" You asked blushing. "It's just my cinema room. I don't really like cinemas" he said. "Then yes. Just text me your address" you said.
"Oh wow I..."
"Do I look that bad?" You asked.
"Not at all. It's just weird to not see you in Barça clothes" he said. "Oh wait till you see me at the gala" you laughed. "You're going to be there?" He asked. "Yep. Probably in a dress" you said. "No puedo esperar a verte (I can't wait to see you)" he mumbled. "Sorry?". "Third room on the left" he cleared his throat. "I'll bring snacks for us" he said. "Can I help you?". "No, it's fine. Feel like home" he smiled.
That was kinda ironic given the fact that his house was 10 times your apartment, but you didn't care about that now. You were too close to Pedri to even think about something straight. You sometimes looked at him, he was so fucking handsome, his brown eyes and his plump lips. "Hey... you okay?" He asked, his thumb brushing your cheek. "You drifted off" he clarified when you looked at him confused. "I think I'm tired. I should go" you said. "It's late. Why don't you stay here? I have a lot of spare bedrooms. And I can drive you to work in the morning" he suggested. "I don't know...". "Please?" He gave you the puppy eyes. "Okay... but tomorrow we have to stop at mine to get my camera" you said. "Of course" he said.
"You spent the night at Pedro's???" Luigi yelled shocked. "Shhhh!!! Yeah I did. We were having a movie night and it got too late to go home. So I stayed" you explained. "Did you two you know" he wiggled his eyebrows. "No, Luigi, we didn't. I stayed in one of his guest rooms and we met in the morning. Then he bought me a coffee on the way here" you said. "Awww". "And he asked the barista to draw some hearts on my cup" you blushed. "Oh my god! He likes you too!" He said. "Too? Who said I like him?" You asked. "It's clear you do. And you're gonna convinced yourself at the gala next month" he said.
"Oh wow..."
"cloae su boca. Usted podría babear (close your mouth, you might drool)" Gavi said just in time because you were making your way to the two boys in your red dress. "Hey guys! Ready for the big night?" You asked. "Claro" Gavi flexed his biceps. "And you, Pedri?". "I'm...good... yeah bueno" he shuttered. "Well, I'll see you around" you said. "dile que se ve hermosa (tell her she's beautiful)" Gavi whispered to his friend. "Y/n, you look beautiful" Pedri said. "Thanks. You look good too. Both of you" you said blushing. "ella se sonrojó (she blushed)" Gavi said. "estás viendo estrellas (you're seeing starts, Pablo)" Pedri argued with him. "Shush you two" Ferran said as the ceremony was about to start.
"And the prize for the best photo of the season... first let's see it"
"And the best photographer, all go to Y/N Y/l/n". Everyone started applauding as Luigi helped you on the stage. You claimed your award and luckily didn't have to say anything because you surely couldn't do it.
After the gala ended, it was a little after party, so you all went there. "May I have a dance with the winner?" Pedri asked, snapping you out of your daydreaming. "Sure. There you go" Luigi shoved you into him. "Congrats. I told you you're the best photographer" he smiled down at you. "I wouldn't have won it if it weren't for the person I photographed in the first place" you said. "Now, don't tell me you won because of me" he laughed. "No, but your charm helped" you shrugged. "You think I'm charming?" He smirked. "Umm... yeah" you blushed looking down at your shoes. "Y/n... I really like you" he whispered. "More than a friend" he added quickly. "Pedro—". "No, it's okay, it's your perfect night and I ruined it" he panicked. "Pedro, just listen to me" you chuckled, cupping his face into your hands. "I really like you too...and you could make this the best night of my life if you would just kiss me". He blinked twice before he registered what you just said. So, with your permission, he pressed his lips softly to yours, wrapping his arms around you in the meantime. "Te quiero, Y/n" he whispered.
"Finally!"
"Took you long enough" His teammates patted his back. "Now I won't have to listen to him saying how beautiful you look every day" Pablo whispered to you. "We were dancing here" Pedri said. "Mhm. More like making out" Pablo said. You blushed, hiding your face into Pedri's chest as he swung your bodies to the music.

art anon - you’re right, if it’s for everyone and to help others than id be glad to ask! ofc i probably can’t even begin to ask everyone’s questions, i don’t mind getting the ball rolling (didn’t mean to make it seem like i was trying to hoard the secret crabby patty formula shdkdkdnf) um ig first question is your sketching? like how you start your rough start? your anatomy is really good to me and consistent too! and do you use procreate or any other online art app? (i use procreate)
No worries, didn't think that was your intention but publicly answering still just feels better for me :>
(Also please keep in mind I'm a self learned and not a professional artist)
I guess I'm gonna show you some current WIPs, some uhhh rather lemon-y lmao
Because I usually don't keep my very rough sketches on a separate layer and just draw over them. So it's not easy to show them later on lol.
Usually I've got a specific idea in mind. Either a pose, a vibe or something so I know what I want in the end. It's important to me to get it down with the first, rough sketch. The first rough draft is usually done with very lose, soft and rounded lines. The second sketch on top is usually to clear up any anatomical mistakes and adding in clothes, faces, details etc. Then finally, linework.
For example I wanted to draw Sal in lingerie below. It's all very rough, with few and usually rounded lines to get the whole body in place. Anatomy doesn't really matter at this point, what matters to me is the vibe and body movement. Also I still do the + cross on the face and usually chest as you can see below lol. Gives a good idea of the angle.
Tumblr media
Another example for the rough idea (placement of hands, feet etc.). Body shapes are kinda wobbly lines, all pretty soft except for few sharp edges (knees for example).
Tumblr media
Another rough example with more details filled in already. Still very rough, like Larry's hair. I wanted a swoosh kinda feeling?? Lmao, just like softly falling. (Also as you can see: when I'm feeling like filling in some details I just do that and will finish the other body parts later. This doesn't always work out though lol and ends in much work later on. Don't recommend it. But it's fun.)
Tumblr media
If I'm struggling with something I will usually just add another layer on top and try try try until I kinda like the rough look of it. For example, I was really struggling with Larrys legs in this piece and it took quite a few tries until I got what I wanted (didn't find a ref I liked). Same with the hand.
Tumblr media
Then usually I will do second sketch. (If I'm having a very good flow and day I usually can use the first sketch immediately but it's rarely the case). The point now is to fill in hair, faces, clothes, details and get the whole anatomy right. On the left I also moved part around as you can see because I didn't like the position. Also did quite some corrections for the second sketch on the right. (Looking at it now the anatomy still is kinda eh... but way better than the initial sketch)
Tumblr media
And then sketching is done and I will probably go to linework.
Also as for your second question: yeah, I do all my artwork in Procreate. Some color correction is done on Clip Studio Pro on the PC because the colors on the PC don't match the colors on the iPad usually.

Going On Dates with The Sparrow Academy
(Summary: You and the members of the Sparrow Academy go on dates but how do they plan them?)
(Note: Season 3 I just a few days away from it's release so forgive me if some personalities and such might not match. I just wanted to write something more on them.)
Tumblr media
Marcus
*As number 1 Marcus likes to make a good impression. He grew nervous when he asked you on a date, he kinda had it planned out but didn't put his hopes up fearing you would reject him.
*He was genuinely surprised when you happily accepted his date. Since he knows that nothing escaped from his father, usually he would be taught to tell his father everything but he hid you as a secret.
*Every now and then at nights he would escape from the academy and meet you outside.
*Sometimes a date wasn't possible so it would just be you both walking around for hours, he would apologize repeatedly for being the worse boyfriend.
*You would smile and him and let him know that dates didn't matter, you just wanted to spend time with him and make him feel happy since he rarely gets to be it.
*Both of you would either order a whole lot of food from Griddy's donuts and aimlessly walk around town and share childhood memories together.
*He would become flustered whenever you two would pass through the many announcements and posters of the Sparrows Academy posing like the superheroes they are.
*You would reassure him that you loved him and not because he was just a superhero. Sometimes some fans would recognize him which would mean in the two of you running off back to the academy to hide.
*But nonetheless you would always thank Marcus for taking his time to spend it with you.
Ben
*You and Ben started dating because of Reginald. You come from a wealthy family so the old man thought it was great for two string figures to date, you knew that the whole dating would be fake since you and Ben didn't get along.
*After countless of dates and faking your feelings to the public was when he started to feel different towards you.
*He suddenly because overprotective of you when a villain showed up and nearly harmed you. Since then he became a sort of body guard always looking out for you.
*Ben wouldn't admit it at all but he started to love spending time with you. So when the time came, he was blunt and expressed his true feelings.
*You know how hard it is for him to show his true colors and feelings due to his father raising him and his siblings as nothing but pawns. So you made sure to always be there for him, just like he was with you.
*Both or you became an inseparable pair. His siblings like to tease him behind his back and actually compliments on you for bringing the true Ben out of his shell.
Fei
*Would try and make everything perfect for your date with her. But when you start to question and realize how beautifully she prepared everything, she will deny and make it seem like it wasn't a big deal to her.
*Internally she would be losing her mind at seeing how happy she made you feel.
*You both don't often get to hang out on dates so when there is time she will make sure you have a great time.
*She absolutely loves seeing you happy and adores it when you treat her well along with her birds. You weren't fond of birds but she showed you how fragile and kind they actually are.
*Most dates would be held at the rooftop where no one can bother you two. That way you could also admire the birds around and praise her superpower.
*Fei would sometimes surprise you with small gifts often apologizing for not getting something expensive. You would kiss her and thank her many times for even thinking about you.
*You didn't want last incident to repeat anyways. Last time you both went outside on a date, she took you to the zoo and you likes a cute stuffed animal, they were sold out and she almost put up a fight when she demanded one for you.
*In the end you got what you wanted but felt embarrassed that she would go as far for something so small.
Alphonso
*You and Alphonso barely have time to go on dates. He's out saving the world and with his father around and his strict rules it hard for you to even hang out.
*On one of his free days he'll invite you over for a date. He won't say it but he's been planning it for weeks.
*You know he's been through a lot and isn't comfortable in his skin but you always reassure him that he's perfect.
*He wanted to make an effort in looking himself look good and ordering something to eat other than junk food to impress you.
*Though sometimes you would surprise him with a full box of donuts from Griddy's for you both to eat.
*You don't mind having a date at the Academy since he sometimes feels uncomfortable being out in public. You won't hesitate to punch someone if they were to comment on you both being a couple.
*He tries to not laugh when he sees you punch someone, though he will start cracking a few jokes once you both are far.
*His siblings won't admit it but you both are perfect for each other.
Sloane
*Sloane for months have dreamt of having a perfect date with you. She won't hesitate to put in a lot or thought and money or money into it, even if it might get her in trouble.
*The poor girl only wants to be loved by someone so she feels extremely lucky that she met you by accident.
*Both of you hit it off pretty easy and fast not wanting time on dating. So since the beginning she's been planning dates up ahead.
*She always loves to surprise you. Sometimes you would be taking a walk down the park and you'll spot a blanket on the grass with your favorite food and wine.
*You would talk about your future plans while holding hands and cuddling, not minding the stares you might get from people or the scolding from her siblings.
*She would be the best girlfriend and always put you first before her especially if you were to be in any type of danger. You don't often get to see her angry but prepare for it if someone were to insult or hurt you.
*Jayme
*Jayme was a hard person to read and she often intimated you and would tease you. She knew well about your feelings for her so she wanted to toy with you for a bit before she asked you on a date out of nowhere.
*Sometimes her attitude would sometimes scare you. She wouldn't hesitate to hurt someone if they were to either flirt or try to hurt you.
*The dates would consist on her inviting you to bowling, dinner or even going out to watch movies. She would gets recognized quite a bit so she would hide herself in a hoodie and take your hand.
*She wouldn't get affected that much on Reginald's words when it came to her problems, bur she would reconsider on how she feels for her father when he starts talking on how you're bad influence on her and the Academy.
*Jayme loves you a lot but would deeply think about your relationship with her. Would she leave the academy forever if she truly wanted you to be happy with her?
*You don't see each other as often as you would like once she has work. The more time passes as you as a couple, she would use her powers and show you of the perfect dream, both of you happily living together without any crime.
*She has few mood swings from time to time but she has promised to herself to at least keep you save and happy whenever you two share time together.

"I'd like to think so." Ban grinned, "A lot fo them are kinda weird."
"And contradictory if taken out fo context!" King, having finally managed to shove Ban's hands down, continued. Veronica watched the three in interest,
"Wait, you guys actually have rules? I thought the Sins just ran amock wherever they went! Father certainly had enough complaints about you for it."
"Only the seven big ones really. Oh, and a few smaller unspoken ones that kidna cropped up from living together." Ban informed the princess, "and we didn't run amock."
"We totally ran amock, Ban." Diane corrected with a groan, "But we didn't do it with Ill intentions if that helps anything. I just... we often went overboard when trying to do our jobs."
"What are those rules?" Straw asked, now very curious about them.
The three gave each other a grin before launching into what was obviously an imitation of Meliodas, spending entirely too peppy,
(FYI I don't know what Law 1 and 2 ate so its headcanon time)
"Sin's Law #1: A sin shall do everything in their power to protect the kingdom and its people!" Ban pointed up, imitating the gestures Meliodas had given when started creating the laws. Diane joined inw ith a goggle,
"Sins Law #2: We are to turn to Merlin or King for instruction in the event the Captain is incapable of leading us and above all else listen to the king."
Now King rolled his eyes, crossing his arms,
"I still don't get why I'm the one he picked for that. Sins Law #3: A sin shall ask no questions of another members sin."
"Law #4 is one of my favorites!" Diane said, "Sins Law #4 states that if a friend is in crisis everyone needs to use all their power to help them!"
"Sins Law #6: When two sins are in disagreement they can resolve it with a fight. You an' I usually fought a lot Cap'n, jsut for fun though not because fo a disagreement." Ban snorted while King rolled his eyes,
"Sins Law #6 os pretty contradictory tot hay though. If two sins are fighting to the death than the other five must do their utmost to stop them, even if it means eliminating the perpetrator."
"And finally Sins law 7, everyone needs to make sure to come together as a team every now and then!" They finished in unison, matching poses with hands on hips. Straw blinked in confusion,
"Those rules are really confusing but... I think I get it?"
"What!? I sure as heck don't" Veronica exclaimed, "What kind of rules are those!? They're barely even rules!"
"The Cap'n had this weird way of wording them, yeah, but they're actually pretty good rules." Ban chuckled.
Straw nodded along,
"Yeah, I mean... the first two are pretty self explanatory. You need to help the kingdom and it establishes a chain of command. The third one makes it so that nobody can judge each other based on what our sins are. Law numbers 4 makes us look after each other. I'm not sure why law 5 exists though, I'm not much of a fighter."
"You used to be, Captain." Diane explained, "You loved to scrap whenever you could, just for fun. If I remember right you made that law because Bam was messing with King and fbe two of them were distracting everyone else with their bickering so you made them fight it out."
King immediately turned to protest while Ban started cackling, remembering that day.
"That sounds like it was fun!" Straw laughed. "But who won at the end?"
"Neither of them", Diane said.
"Neither?"
"Neither. They got so into it that you had to step in and stop them."
"For real?"
"Yup!"

it is Time. for Fashion.
I have been working on this project. for months. and it is finally. still incomplete on several technicalities but good enough for now. I'm very proud of what I've managed to accomplish. Please enjoy looking at my beautiful child,
Millennia Crowe.
Tumblr media
(...Wait, what do you mean "30 image limit?" Uh, gimme a minute to edit these together. This post is gonna be long.)
Tumblr media
Gunbreaker
The truest self. The most Millennia of all Millennias. Confident without being cocky, ornate without being gaudy. Black longcoat with silver and gold trim, splash of white for flair, and the Iconic Hat (TM). Very proud of the gauntlets (gold trim to match the coat) and boots (fur lining to match the collar).
That jacket was actually what inspired this whole project. I'd picked up every job and had outfits for each role by then, but the Jacket was a perfect match to The Hat... and Gunbreaker exclusive. Could I get all the rest their own unique look, that looked just as good?
Judge for yourself.
Tumblr media
Warrior
Millie's first job. I'd tried Lancer on a different character, but was frustrated by how fragile they were; starting as a tank was partly to alleviate that concern, and partly to skip ahead in dungeon queues. And then I just. never stopped tanking, lmao.
Most of these outfits start from the chestpiece, and this one's no exception. The boots and pants went through a few revisions, but I think the heavy-plate look works well. Those elbow spikes still bother me a little, though; might rework those sometime.
Tumblr media
Paladin
Here's our first what-I-call-military-formal outfit; you'll see them recur pretty often. While the jacket is suited to the valiant protector identity, Lenny also likes to antagonize Fray; wearing this outfit while in nominal service to the ruler of a corrupt, unjust society is one of her little jokes.
A lot of coats seem to me to just cut off abruptly in the front, so I was very proud to get those pants with the faux-hem. Shoulda tried for a better shot of the shield, but in most poses it obscures the rest of the outfit. Which is what it's supposed to do, I guess...
Tumblr media
Dark Knight
The traditional look was actually too broody for my tastes; I've instead opted for the look of someone who walked halfway around the world without stopping to rest to find you and kick your ass. Postman's Creed (Evil)-type beat. Using the Forgiven's chestpiece is also another one of those fun little jokes.
Not many of these deviate from The Hat, but a more intimidating look that hides the identity just feels right, here.
Tumblr media
White Mage
Gridanian jobs tend to lean more outdoorsy. Here, the fur lining evokes White Mage's traditional frills without leaning too far towards femme. Proud I found matching boots.
These days, Millennia gets chills if he channels light aether too much. It's a psychosomatic reaction, mostly, but the extra insulation helps all the same.
Technically incomplete, but the Rose Couverte takes slightly more grinding than I was willing to put in at the time. The hunt for perfection remains never-ending... But it's good to still have something to aim for.
Tumblr media
Scholar
My current main! White Mage was my first healer, but I value the ability to preempt damage that Scholar provides. Nothing better than seeing a raidwide fail to touch the party's actual health. Your "real flame" ain't shit, bud.
(...A-hem. Right. Fashion.)
I wasn't sold on the ribbons at first, but military-formal longcoats with gold trim win out every time. Plus, it matches the book. Kinda funny that my two favorite classes still use these specific chestpieces, under the circumstances. What can I say? The li'l lady does good work.
Tumblr media
Astrologian
Another victory for pants that look like shirts: that white bit with the triangles? Not part of the chestpiece! There's no good shot of it here, but the boots also have star ornaments that match the ones on the coat.
This one was fun to figure out the staging for. Originally, I was cropping these shots down, but didn't like how inconsistent the sizing was. Had to redo half of them, but I'd figured out proper lighting by then, so it worked out.
Tumblr media
Sage
Once, Millie had a daydream of an admiral leading a fleet through the sea of stars, and feverishly assembled this getup in response.
Strange how things work out sometimes. The Manusya/Bonewicca gear was a mainstay of outfits past, but this is the only one in which the gloves survive. On the other hand, I might never have known the Raincoat's fashion potential if I'd never gone to the aquarium.
(Shoutouts to the Eorzean Museum Network, whose passion for elaborate digital projects, despite the conclusions you might draw from this post, far eclipses my own.)
Tumblr media
Monk
This outfit originally belonged to Samurai, but I felt the simpler design drew better attention to those fists. Includes matching heavy metal boots, to amp the impact of kicks.
Tumblr media
Dragoon
Another outfit where I was aiming for military-formal before I stumbled ass-backwards into this chestpiece while browsing the PvP gear. It just somehow incidentally went with all the other pieces I already had. Still hardly believe it.
Tumblr media
Ninja
Nondescript traveler. Dressed well, but unmemorably. Safe to ignore.
I'm not actually that big a fan of the whole mystical wizard direction that Ninja takes; this outfit is meant to evoke its origins in Rogue. I even had Generic Dagger as a weapon for a while- anything with a proper hilt guard just doesn't feel right- but these shortblades better represent Millennia's actual threat level.
Might change the boots for something softer-soled sometime, but I like the way they flow into the pants.
Tumblr media
Samurai
Used to have a cyberpunk getup that I was very proud to have assembled, but the vibes never hit quite right. I got very lucky with this year's Heavensturn reward. Also features the #55 boots, another staple of outfits past. Black and gold and so on, you know.
Tumblr media
Reaper
I saw the scythe and I saw the chest and I knew I had a winner. I wish the skirt was a little less ornate? But it's like, the only one Reaper can wear that also has pants. So many opportunities for your dress to fly up in these latest dungeons...
Shoutouts to every DRK main with the same chestpiece, and the one Reaper I saw with the same getup but in white. I am shaking your collective hands.
Tumblr media
Bard
Leaned into the outdoorsman/hunter look for this one. I debated waiting until Valentione's ended to pose in the amphitheatre, but fame is a mantle ill-tailored to Minnie; she'd rather perform for friends than crowds. Not that I've. ever actually used the performance feature...
Tumblr media
Machinist
It may look silly when using flamethrower, but there's no real alternative to the platonic ideal of [Gun]. I'm sure you're all shocked to see another military-formal kit as well.
Sometimes it bothers me that so many of these just use Normal Black Glove, but you don't really need anything fancier if the sleeves and cuffs are good on their own.
Tumblr media
Dancer
It is. so hard. to find Dancer-y outfits that actually cover the body. Very satisfied when this one came together.
Having second thoughts on the boots, but most other options were pointier than I liked. Not trying to evoke Waluigi, y'know?
Tumblr media
Black Mage
Refined and elegant and big metal boots. Another little joke. Very lucky they released that hat; a surprising number of these pieces only came out within the last few weeks. The Appointed flatcap is fine- you've seen it in a couple outfits already- but the puffier look vibes better in general, I think.
Those gloves were the last piece I got before I considered this project complete enough to show off. They took three days to drop.
Worth it.
Tumblr media
Summoner
I wanted a heavier look for Ifrit's melee skills and a draconic vibe overall. The Radiant's chest was my first pick, but ended up too monochrome; this still ticks all the boxes and pairs well with the Archfiend gauntlets.
Gonna need a new outfit if Oracle becomes real, though.
Tumblr media
Red Mage
Took me a while to settle on this chestpiece. Used to have a lightly-armored look which had a scarf I rather liked, but there kept being too much brown leather for my tastes. This way, though, I can draw narrative connections to Alisaie. Inspiring and being inspired in turn, kinda deal.
Tumblr media
Disciple of the Hand
If not for the utility belt, this would make for a perfect casual outfit. And the gloves, but those're on purpose.
Lenny's more keen on the intricate, high-detail work of alchemy and goldsmithing than the blunt routine of armorsmithing and the like. However, the armorsmithing guild has excellent staging, so that's whatcha get.
Someday, I plan to assemble unique outfits for each Disciple of Hand and Land, but for now I am literally out of glamour plates. Desperately hoping they add more by the time 7.0 rolls around.
Tumblr media
Disciple of the Land
Did you know? The Disciples of Hand and Land share the base animations of the Paladin! I've exploited that for the action shot. Please do not chop wood one-handed unless you know what you're doing.
I think at this point the outfit speaks for itself, but that coat serves as a good reminder of how expensive this whole endeavor was. Must've cost about a million gil on its own, and that's with the relative discount of buying the materials and crafting it myself! Let alone all the jet-black dye I still haven't bought. I used to have savings in the seven digits...
Tumblr media
Blue Mage
Didn't think I'd forgot, didja?
This one's a little special. Millennia uses the guise of Azuro as an escape from the pressures of being World's Savior; this outfit is deliberately gaudier than the others to better create a separate sense of identity.
Sometimes I wonder if using an Allagan outfit on a Meracydian job is in poor taste, but it's already being exploited for bloodsport, so...
...Uh. Azuro?
Whatcha... Whatcha doin' there, bud?

Tbh even as Endeavor enjoyer I don't really understand rn what is hori cooking. Like yeah I liked that part about endeavor not being able to he like Allmight or Deku more in terms of what they represent and not their status. But what was that "ayo my life mission is to defeat af" part?? I can only assume what he means but really hope next chapter clears some things. Like his character never was about defeating afo but now he just decided that it is and it's really ??? moment. Like- I assume that he ment it in terms of defeating afo not as someone who allmight was and not to mimic him in some way like enji did after high end fight by copying allmight's victory pose but with other hand? But I made it up based on what was going on with endeavor through the whole manga and still it doesn't match with his main arc of not being an ass to his family and letting them live happy lives
Usually my go-to would be to tell myself "wait for the official translation", but honestly I don't think it's gonna change much of anything for this chapter.
It's just weird. Idk how else to describe it. There isn't really anything wrong with any of it right up until the very last moment when the last sentence of the chapter seems to kinda backpedal everything that was said......literally seconds before. That's what confuses me.
Endeavor even said that his weaknesses were ones he brought upon himself. He didn't equate his weaknesses to lack of strength, he related them to his ugly heart. He said his heart was always wrong, because of his own obsession. All of that is really spot on. All of that needed to be said, and I'm glad it finally happened.
But then it goes into him telling himself "continue fighting the enemy" and "ending this battle is my mission". Which completely opposes everything that was realized and said moments before. So I'm just left with....what? What was all of that if that is the point you landed on?
And again I'm in agreement that the Endeavor vs. AFO match is just, meaningless. There was potential, and we saw some of it when AFO was bringing up Touya and calling him a failure, but (so far) we have little to no follow up on that. So therefore all the actual interesting aspects of this fight are not present at this time. That could change, we'll see. And then AFO and this damn mask. God, I'm over it. Over. It. Either power him up and make him an actual worthwhile villain here, or move to a different battle. For fucks sake.
There might be some stuff missing, maybe. We'll see. But it just looks like a mess of a chapter if I'm being honest. Or actually only a mess right at the very end. Everything before that very last sequence was good. There is some little stuff about AFO that was good because now it looks like it might move to some Shigaraki content kinda soon, but that last page with Endeavor crushing AFO's mask for a second time 🙄 just, why.

Tumblr media
Y/n's Pov;
I was sitting inside my Car that was parked outside the Mall. Singing the lyrics that was playing on the Radio when I saw someone familiar getting out of the Entrance mall.
Ranboo.. My ex that I just broken up a Month ago.
He was with a Shorter guy that had Brown hair and I saw that they were matching sweaters.
I looked at my own sweater that I was wearing, and I was wearing me and Ranboo's matching sweater cause I didn't have anything else to wear.
Car rides to Malibu
Strawberry ice cream
One spoon for two
And trading jackets
Laughing 'bout how small it looks on you
(Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha)
Watching reruns of Glee
Being annoying
Singing in harmony
I bet she's bragging
To all her friends, saying you're so unique, hmm
I saw them both going in to a Car with their Windows down. I saw Ranboo giving him a Kiss on the Lips while flashing his camera taking a picture of it.
So when you gonna tell her
That we did that, too?
She thinks it's special
But it's all reused
That was our place, I found it first
I made the jokes you tell to her when she's with you-
Me and Ranboo were inside his Car when he slipped his hand on my Back and pulling me close to him. I looked into his eyes and he kissed my lips with his.
All while I noticed his Phone Flashing right at us.
My eyes were starting to Water and I slowly sobbed as I watched them both.
Ranboo and the other Guy started to play fight and when the other guy stopped and crossed his arms while Pouting Ranboo went over to hug him and while whispering in his ear.
Do you get déjà vu when she's with you?
Do you get déjà vu? (Ah), hmm
Do you get déjà vu, huh?
Do you call her
Almost say my name?
'Cause let's be honest
We kinda do sound the same
Another actress
I hate to think that I was just your type
I'll bet that she knows Billy Joel
'Cause you played her "Uptown Girl"
You're singing it together
Now I bet you even tell her
How you love her
In between the chorus and the verse (ooh) (I love you)
So when you gonna tell her
That we did that, too?
She thinks it's special
But it's all reused
That was the show we talked about
Played you the song she's singing now when she's with you
I started to cry at this point and rolled my window up as I cried my heart out. Remembering me and Ranboo's 2 year relationship.
"Come on Y/n I didn't mean to make you upset" Ranboo said pulling me into his lap and hugging me.
I only puted trying not to show my smile. "Fine but admit it! You cheated on Minecraft!" I said un crossing my arms.
"I told I didn't" he said and started tickling me.
That was the same scenario that was Happening inside the Car with Ranboo and his Other.
I couldn't believe that he had moved on before me and couldn't accept that he was no longer mine.
I started my Car and started driving my Car out the Lot.
Do you get déjà vu when she's with you?
Do you get déjà vu? Oh
Do you get déjà vu?
Strawberry ice cream in Malibu
Don't act like we didn't do that shit, too
You're trading jackets like we used to do
(Yeah, everything is all reused)
Play her piano, but she doesn't know (oh, oh)
That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel (oh)
A different girl now, but there's nothing new
(I know you get déjà vu)
And before I could leave at the Exit I saw Him placing a Camera outside and him carrying the other person out the Car and positioned him in the sky (Simba pose)
And waited for the Sky to flash with Fireworks meaning that it was "Happy New Year's". The Camera took the picture of them two and by the end Ranboo spun him around before giving him a Kiss.
"Happy New Year's" I said and finally drove off the rode

I meant to do this on the first, but then got lazy and didn't, lol. New year means new design pictures, whether I need to do them or not. And since I decided I was going to do the Cataclysm sequel, Division, this year, I figure I'd put up the designs I did for them!
(I mean, maybe I'll do Division. I mean, my muse was on The Gatekeeper for a bit and I realized 2023 is its twentieth anniversary, so that's a contender? Possibly?)
I had fun doing the Earthia designs last year, so I thought it'd be cool to do Division's in the same sort of style. I also realized that a lot of people, when doing design pictures, put people in the same pose for all the outfits, so I realized I could do the same and save myself some trouble of coming up with a million poses. (Just a lot, because I have a lot of characters. >.<) Granted, Nova's gets switched up for each one, but eh. She's the protagonist. She's allowed.
Nova's outfit is based off on that I own. I was struggling to come up with something for her that was cute and all, and I realizing I had something in my on closet that suited her great! The boots are a combination of me wearing boots a lot and her probably trying to match her boyfriend? Maybe? The other two are just tweeked versions of her superhero outfit - she gets a new shirt as Swift Star and starts wearing her hair in a braid as Cosmic Star since she discovers the long hair actually gets in the way. How she managed it before, she has no idea.
Swift Star ended up matching Cosmic Moon a bit more than I intended, but I like that, actually.
Luna's shirt I am in love with. I just randomly searched through Amazon fashion until I found it, and...yeah. I really like how she turned out! Kinda nerdy chic with the glasses there. Which works out perfectly for her. Cosmic Moon is the same as always. I gave Luna the gun in her design just to show that she creates other weapons other than just the sword, and I think it turned out nicely.
I definitely think Luna has the better design than Nova does, lol. But I also know I'll probably change these in some fashion (maybe not Luna) before I actually use them, since that, unfortunately, is how I roll. (Most likely, I'll switch their outfits? Possibly?)
More coming soon, since I was heavily inspired. :D

Tumblr media
I was going to do these at random but then i got it in my head to stage these as an alternative first round of fights like in the manga, even though we really didn't get to see most of those play out...
To start i feel like the most obvious match up that we missed out on would've been Zaraki fighting Driscoll: For one Zaraki works around the bankai theft by not having one, and his whole made for battle/blood knight character type plays directly with The Overkill. Kind of like in his fight with Nnoitra, it'd make for a great emphasis on what Zaraki's actual strengths are; not that he simply fights and kills people, but that his supposed infinite potential comes from being pushed to his limits and learning to adapt and overcome new opponents. By contrast Overkill only gives Driscoll more power based on killcount, even if the people he slaughters are weak and he doesn't learn anything from fighting them.
So, the fight could start with the two of them both hacking their way through waves of faceless low rank goons to draw a parallel, but in the fight itself Zaraki's emphasis would be on drawing on meaningful fighting experience even with no bankai, while Driscoll would rely on a stolen bankai and a superficial killcount. There could be a fun moment where in a fit of desperation Driscoll tries to boost his power by squeezing in extra kills, targeting more weaklings, and lashes out at Yachiru, but she deflects his attack all on her own, he's shocked and confused, and in the moment of hesitation Zaraki lands the finishing blow.
Tumblr media
Much less thematic, but I feel like Bambietta, with The Explode, would've made for a better counter measure to Byakuya's Senbonzakura. She could've opened the fight with her projectiles and Byakuya would got through his usual routine of fighting at a distance and being dodgy and precise with his blocks and counters, until suddenly he'd realize there were less petals than before, and Bambi could explain how every time he "blocked" her Explode projectiles they turned some of his thousands of blades into bombs and blew up. And she'd taunt him about how many blades does he have left and how long can he keep up defending himself while sacrificing his petals. He'd smugly use his bankai to summon up its crazy number of petals and ask if her explosions can keep up with so many petals, but then we'd get the reveal and she'd seal it away. Then Byakuya would have the moment of stark realization where he has zero petals to fight with. And then he'd get blown to hell and back before ending up in basically the same situation he was in with As Nodt in the actual manga shoved into the back of a bloody crater.
Tumblr media
Similarly I don't think there's too much thematic resonance in this match up but I like some of the kind of obtuse dynamic they could have. it's never properly addressed, but we do know that Candice is technically one of the newer Sternritter, as she's said to have less control over her Vollstandig when hers is involuntarily prompted. Giving her lightning theme I like the idea that maybe she's something of a prodigy herself. Obviously not as young as Hitsugaya, proportionally speaking, but a fast learner and someone who rocketed up the ranks of the Wandenreich as a genius technician of Quincy skills. Hitsugaya could have a little back and forth about what it means to be a genius, and the difference between instantaneous intuition and carefully practiced talent. It would prompt his bankai and how real power comes from sober self reflection and not self aggrandizement, but then she'd take advantage of his weather gathering, like he used with Tier, and use it to amplify her lightning, get one good hit in, Hitsugaya would brush it off and ready a counter attack, and she'd seal his bankai.
Also room for some kind of banter with Rangiku, I'm sure. Probably with her calling Rangiku old and starting a whole cliche back and forth over that.
Tumblr media
Meninas deserved more love, and screen time, and a real fight to herself. I feel like the best way to really illustrate her schift as The Power would've been to have her, and not the early unrevealed PePe, be the one to fight Jidanbou. Not that the gate guardians even make much sense being involved when the Quincy didn't invade through the four gates, but still... I'd love to see little Mini just arm wrestle Jidanbou and/or the other gigantic gate guardians into submission effortlessly. Have Komamura show up with his bankai as the one thing even bigger than the gate guardians. And then Mini steals it, instead of Bambietta, and gets into a raw strength beatdown with Komamura himself as the biggest of the captains.
I'm still mad she never hulked out properly. We only ever got the one panel of her with a buff arm going after Liltotto when she got lovestruck. Unrelated to this iteration of alternate fights, but it also would've been neat to see her fight Kira; he'd try and utilize his shikai the usual way, but Meninas would just get bulkier the heavier Wabisuke made her to carry the additional weight. And then Kira would end up baffled and terrified in the shadow of a fully hulked out Meninas.
Tumblr media
Maybe a little too obvious, but I feel like a proper wushu fight between Sui-Feng and Cang Du was stolen from us. It also would've been a perfect set up for the bankai theft because Sui-Feng could go full assassin but immediately run into the problem that if Cang Du's Iron skin can't be pierced, then she can't leave any marks to hit twice. So obviously that makes her only option the bankai, and he can swipe it from there. I feel like unlike most of the other captains Sui-Feng would get to have a cool moment where she still fights Cang Du to a standstill even without her bankai, but then of course he just sinks back into the shadows at the end of the first raid.
Tumblr media
This one feels like a stretch, but for all the weirdness of PePe and the creative choices that went into him, I liked the little bit of his explanation of his powers where it wasn't just a romantic or erotic kind of Love that his power controlled, but that he compared it to the instinctive need to protect an innocent baby. And with Jizo being the patron deity of dead children, it would have been really cool to see him have some thematic play with Mayuri. I know it's not how his powers worked in canon, but I actually would've really liked if his power wasn't as directly focused on himself. So that he could provoke people to act on their strong desires to the detriment of logic, but without a lot of direct control over it. So he'd hit Mayuri, and Mayuri would shrug it off because he doesn't care about anyone and then without warning Nemu would be put in danger in the course of the fight and Mayuri would be compelled to protect her. And he wouldn't know what happened as he threw himself in the way of an attack. Then like everyone else he'd pull bankai and PePe could steal it, so that weird creepy cupid man could have a giant creepy baby. but more importantly Mayuri could quietly and furiously ruminate on his feelings during the interim training arc
I know Mayuri didn't actually lose his bankai with the rest during the first attack in the manga, but it felt like he should have since his was part of that batch of SS arc bankai we saw earliest and got kind of accustomed to throughout the rest of the Arrancar arc. (more so than Sui-Feng's at least) Actually in regards to that same sentiment, I feel like renji should have lost his bankai too, even though his ostensibly posed less of a threat than some of the more well honed captains'. It's a shame that so many of the lieutenants just kinda got lost in the background of this arc. It would've been really cool to see the gotei compensate the loss of their bankai by doing more tagteams and group fights

And when dick finds out jason KNEW and didn't tell b/c of the bet. oh man. Can we get a chapter in dick's pov on this? idc where u put it I just really want to read it.
Dick rolled his eyes at his brother’s antics. Honestly, he didn’t really care who Ladybug was. They had more than enough proof that she was on the good side and their little squabble didn’t seem all that serious.
Besides, no one in France knew who she was after her being a hero for four years. Dick wasn’t one to attempt the impossible (he loved things that seemed impossible, but that’s different than things that actually are).
Still, Damian had come to him for help and he was fine taking some time out of his day to research with him.
And what did they find? Pretty much nothing.
The Parisians either guessed her age as 15-21 or somewhere in the thousands.
She had to have come over from France over the past two days but there wasn’t a single person even moderately matching her description who had come over.
Her friend group was iffy. Supposedly she was friends with someone named Chloe Bourgeois, who’d had the bee miraculous for a short period of time. Then again, some footage indicated that Ladybug might actually hate the girl, so that information was useless. All the other heroes she’d worked with were still a mystery.
And her powers? God, don’t even get him started on her powers. Did she know what she was going to summon or not -- sometimes it seemed like it and sometimes it didn’t. Just how far did the apparent invulnerability go? How does someone take a miraculous? How does her outfit work? Why won’t the mask come off? How much did her cure actually fix? The only thing they knew for sure was that she had to participate in a battle for her to be able to use it.
Even Tim hadn’t been able to scrounge up more than rumors.
But Damian still wanted Dick to be there when he confronted Ladybug with the information and question her, and he didn’t really have anything better to do.
Finding her was way harder than they thought it’d be. You’d think someone in bright red would be easy to spot in the middle of the night, but apparently not.
But, eventually, they found her.
She didn’t seem to notice them for a while. She hopped from rooftop to rooftop, drink in hand.
And then she stopped. She took a long sip from her drink.
“What do you want?” She asked. Well, at least they knew for sure she was French. Her accent was still pretty thick.
Dick and Damian looked at each other awkwardly. What were they supposed to say? ‘We tried to stalk you on the internet but it didn’t work’?
She spun on her heel and repeated herself: “What do you want?” Her smile was getting more strained.
Damian crossed his arms over his chest. “Who are you?”
Wow. Smooth. He fought the urge to sigh.
Ladybug grinned cheekily as she matched his posture. “I’m Ladybug, of course.”
He could already tell they weren’t going to get anything of substance from her. Still, Damian was sending him pleading looks out of the corner of his eyes. He brought a smile to his face. “We’ve spent the last few days researching you. We looked up immigration records, plane flights, everything. No one matches your descriptions. You, frankly, don’t exist.”
She tapped her earrings. “That’s ‘cause of magic. It keeps people from finding out my identity if I don’t want them to.”
He blinked and looked at Robin, trying to gauge if this could be true. Sure, metas existed and the internet had attributed her powers to the earrings she wore, but the idea of earrings giving people powers was still kinda odd for him.
Robin didn’t know. Great.
And then Ladybug took a sip of her drink and Dick gave pause. He’d seen that cup before. Pretty much every day, actually. He could ask Tim about it later --.
He was pulled back to the present when Damian groaned and left. He broke into a wide smile. Maybe this wouldn’t be impossible, after all.
He held out a hand to shake. “It’s been nice meeting you. Sorry about my…” He hesitated for a half-second, unsure whether he wanted to say ‘brother’. He glanced at her eyes and decided against it. He didn’t like how intent they looked. Whoever she was, she wasn’t stupid, that much was obvious.  “... partner. He’s a bit annoying.”
She beamed as she shook his hand. “It’s fine. It’s been a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Nightwing. I hope next time we can get to know each other without him around.”
He chuckled. “Just Nightwing would be fine. And that sounds great.” He gave one last wave before hopping away.
~
Jason’s phone rang and Dick grinned, glad for an excuse to stop working for even a second.
“Who wants to talk to you?”
He held up his phone to show it was ‘Timberly’.
They both frowned at this. Tim? Calling during work? He must be dying.
Jason turned on his speaker.
“Heya, Replacement, what’s up?”
“Hey, I’m going to take the day off.”
Jason and Dick looked at each other for a long time, stunned. And then they finally processed it. “WHAT?!”
“WHO IS THIS?!”
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM?!”
“ARE YOU OKAY?!”
“IS THIS A PRANK?!”
“Yes, I’m fine. No, it’s not a prank. I’ve met someone --”
Jason laughed.
“-- not like that, Jay -- and I’m giving her a tour of the city. She just got here from France a while ago.”
Cafe person? From France? Dick’s brain clicked and he shoved Jason out of the way to get to the phone. “Did you meet her at the cafe?”
“Yes, I met her at the coffee shop, Dick. What does it matter?”
“She could be Ladybug.”
Tim and Jason laughed at him. Laughed.
“You’re insane. Can I have time off or not?”
Dick fought back his annoyance. Tim was actually asking to leave and he wasn’t going to stop him. “Yes!”
“Please!” Added Jason.
The line went dead. Dick dropped back onto the couch and pulled out his own phone.
How could he bully Tim into bringing (the person who might be) Ladybug over?
He opened up the family group chat.
Idontwantpicturesthatsjustmyname: Guys you will not BELIEVE this
~
Dick rested his head on his hands as he watched Marinette from across the table.
“So, what do you know about Ladybug?”
Her eyes widened slightly. Whether this was because of the suddenness of the question or because he was right he wasn’t sure.
“Subtle,” Jason said sarcastically. He sent Dick a short glare as if to say ‘don’t scare her off we just met her’ and then gave Marinette an apologetic smile. “Sorry, ‘bout that. He’s been obsessed since she appeared, and most of his research has been a dead end. He’s grasping at straws.”
She relaxed and gave a soft laugh. “I’m too klutzy to ever be Ladybug, you can ask anyone.”
Dick tried not to look too skeptical. He’d purposefully surprised her with a rather forceful hug when he’d met her to see how good her balance was when she wasn’t paying attention. She’d had no problem both staying up and supporting their weight.
He couldn’t tell her that, though.
He groaned. “And I don’t suppose you know who it is?”
“Nope.”
And, just like that, the conversation moved on. Damn it, Jason, can’t you relax for a few seconds so he can interrogate her? Ugh.
Still, he smiled at Tim’s expression as Marinette began to explain exactly how they’d met. Even if it annoyed him that he hadn’t gotten any information, no one could ever pass up on the opportunity to mess with their siblings.
~
Jason sent Dick a glare as he pulled on his leather jacket. “You want to what?”
“Do a stakeout!” Dick said brightly. “I’m pretty sure Marinette is Ladybug.”
Tim sighed. “So we’re going to stalk my new friend? Great. Maybe this is why my friendships don’t last.”
“C’mon! It’s not like you even have to go, Tim.”
“And let you guys embarrass me? No thanks.”
“She won’t know --,” Jason said.
Tim sighed and put on his mask. “No. Come on. Dick, you owe me a coffee.”
Dick groaned but nodded. “Fine, I’m paying for snacks. Let’s go.”
~
“For the record, I think you’re stupid,” said Jason as they started to pull themselves up the fire escape.
“Thanks!” Said Dick brightly. “I know I’m right, but thanks!”
Jason laughed quietly. “Suuuure. Wanna bet?”
“Sure. How about 3k?”
He rolled his eyes. “Only 3? Are you really sure?”
Dick scoffed. “Fine. 5k.”
Jason smirked and pulled himself up the last rung and sat himself down on the edge. “Sucker.”
Tim glanced inside and gave sarcastic jazz hands. “Wow. How suspicious. She’s going to sleep.”
“Can’t you guys even pretend to believe me?”
“Nope. You’re insane, dude, the girl probably couldn’t hurt a fly if she wanted to.”
“I know what I saw. That coffee cup was the same one he --” he pointed at Tim “-- brings home all the time. And he saw her get one that day. She’s French and new in town. It’s got to be her.”
Tim sighed. “This feels wrong,” he mumbled. He took a long sip of his drink before continuing: “She’s a civvie, we can’t just watch her.”
“She might be a civvie,” corrected Dick.
His brothers groaned and they all opened their bags of Doritos.
And then Marinette flung the window open and stuck her head out. “Could you guys not do this outside my window?”
Everyone jumped. Tim literally jumped, nearly falling over the side of the fire escape in his surprise. They got into fighting poses on instinct.
Marinette had gone a little pale at the sight of them.
They quickly dropped their guards.
She flashed a weak smile. “Oh, I’m sorry, sirs. I thought you were just guys on my fire escape. You on a stakeout?”
Everyone looked at each other confusedly. Did her accent somehow get worse in the few hours since they met her? Tim looked especially confused by the development.
“Of sorts,” said Red Hood carefully.
She yawned and rubbed her eyes and her accent slipped back towards normal as she spoke: “If you’re staking out, can you…?” She trailed off and her eyes found their way to their Doritos. “Is that really all you’re eating tonight?” She asked, her lips falling into a frown.
The three all looked at each other.
“I mean... yeah, it’s stakeout food,” said Dick.
She clicked her tongue. “C’mon,” she waved them inside and began walking to her kitchen.
They all shrugged as they stepped through her window. What did it matter?
Dick snooped around her apartment with his brothers. He didn’t really know what he was looking for, just evidence that she did anything shady, but really he didn’t know where she’d hide anything. The place was pretty empty.
‘Damn, you live like this?’ He thought, giving her a glance and shaking his head.
His eyes found their way to her bed and he frowned. She’d set up a fake version of herself with pillows and blankets… but hadn’t she made it seem like she’d gone straight from bed to the window? How awake had she really been? And, if she’d been awake, had the accent been faked? Why?
He raised an eyebrow at the real Marinette.
“There were three people outside my window, did you want me not to take precautions?”
He looked away. Fair enough.
He continued looking for anything, but his attempts were fruitless. He would have thrown his hands up in frustration if he didn’t think that would make her suspicious of their true intentions.
Unable to do much else without making it obvious, he wandered over to watch her bake.
~
Dick looked the NightMare outfit up and down.
Ladybug sighed. “What?”
Maybe he could get some information on how her powers worked.
“Why is this outfit more intricate than your normal one?”
Ladybug rolled her eyes. “Because I was intending to make it look like a coincidence that I showed up here right after the Ladybug in Paris defeated Hawkmoth,” she said.
He knew she was lying. He didn’t know how he knew she was lying, maybe it was the cadence of her voice or the fact that she had a tendency to keep them as in the dark about her identity as possible, but she was definitely lying.
But he couldn’t prove it.
So he moved on.
~
She stumbled out of her portal and sent them all a tiny wave. “Salut.”
Dick’s eyes widened and he rushed forward to catch her in case she fell. She didn’t, but he still wrapped her arm around his shoulders to hold her upright. “Christ! What did they do to you?”
"Some sort of tranquilizer,” she mumbled, closing her eyes. “We need to warn the Waynes.”
He tensed and looked at his family, who were anxiously shifting from foot to foot.
“You’re not in any state to do that,” said Bruce, finally.
“I can open a portal.”
A wide smile stretched across his face. Aha! She’d admitted that she had to have been somewhere to open a portal. He had her now! “You’ve been to Wayne Manor?”
She opened an eye just enough to send him a glare. “No, but I’ve been outside it.”
His smile dropped. Damn. That’s a good point. The outside was a pretty popular tourist spot. He sighed.
“You need to get home,” said Tim. “I’ll make sure everyone turns around.”
Dick sent him a slight glare but let go of Ladybug and turned away. As much as he wanted to be right, the idea of watching her stumble into her room while half-awake in order to confirm this made him feel a little sick.
He could figure it out some other time, at least.
~
Jason dropped Ladybug onto the bed and they all scrambled around her.
Dick picked up a knife and started attempting to cut the suit around her wound and a curse slipped from his lips as it attempted to reform itself instantly.
After a few attempts, he reached for Ladybug’s earrings. He hadn’t even really been thinking about her identity, he’d just been frustrated about the apparent inability to help her.
Her hand shot up and grabbed his wrist before he could touch them. She tried to say something but couldn’t talk above the blood gurgling in her mouth.
He pulled his hand from her grip.
‘Fine, but when you die stupidly it’s not my fault,’ he thought.
He went back to attempting to tend to her wounds through her outfit.
~
Listen, just because he hadn’t done that didn’t mean that he didn’t still want to know.
He sent a text to Marinette. He’d check every once in a while to see if she responded, but if it took however long Ladybug was out then he would be right.
~
He stepped into the apartment and was stunned to see that Jason and Tim were already there.
But then he watched Marinette walk over. And she was probably injured, with how hard she was trying to hide her limp. And she clearly knew that he was onto her, otherwise why would she be trying to hide it?
“You’re walking a little weird, are you alright?” He said, a smug grin on his face.
But then Tim came to her rescue. He walked over and slung an arm over her shoulders protectively. “Maybe if you weren’t watching her walk she wouldn’t be overthinking it so much.”
Damn it. He hated it when Tim had a point.
Whatever. At least he’d thought of a plan B. He watched as Marinette’s eyes fell on Robin. She’d never met the vigilante before, so there was no reason why they shouldn’t get along.
And then she was nice to him.
He wanted to kick a wall. Was he actually wrong or was she just aware of what he was doing?
She pulled a bottle of wine from her cupboard. “You guys can all have this, right?”
There, a perfectly acceptable way to be petty. He snatched the drink from her hands. “It doesn’t matter because you can’t drink!”
Marinette raised her eyebrows. “It’s legal in my country.”
“But not in ours! Where you are currently staying! How did you even get your hands on this?”
She shrugged innocently.  “You’re more uptight than my actual mom.”
He scoffed. Rude!
So rude, in fact, that he didn’t realize that she had changed the subject until there was no natural way to come back to it.
He stared at the wine in his hands.
Screw it.
~
Dick glanced at his phone as he received a text.
His eyes lit up at the username. Marinette! Aha! He had her now! It had only been a day since Ladybug was released, surely this was proof --!
Definitelyforgottosleep: lemme in
He frowned. All thoughts of Ladybug were pushed out of his mind at the two words. Was she okay? What had happened?
~
Chloe Bourgeois? Where had he heard that name before?
A frown found its way to his face as he tried to recall this. “I know you.”
“You do?”
He nodded slightly and scratched the back of his head. “Definitely... so where...?”
Marinette looked a little pale. “Don’t all rich people kind of know each other?”
Dick gave a small nod. “I guess...” He said despite being sure that wasn’t it.
She grabbed both of them by their sleeves. “C’moooon. It’s cold out, we can at least do this inside.”
~
Dick watched from a bit away, trying to fight back a grin as Marinette and Cass greeted each other.
“Hi,” Marinette squeaked.
Cass looked Marinette up and down. If anyone could crack this case in two seconds, it was her…
And she did.
“Are you a vigilante?”
He fought the urge to squeal. Yes! Yesyesyesyesyesyes --!
And then Jason appeared out of nowhere to tackle Marinette in a hug.
This couldn’t ruin his good mood, though. Nothing could.
“Cass thinks that Mari could be a vigilante,” said Dick with a cheeky look on his face.
Jason and Marinette tensed slightly and looked at each other.
Then, Cass gave a short laugh. “No, wait, I was wrong. Don’t worry about it, Dick.”
Ah. Nothing could ruin his good mood except for that.
His smile dropped instantly and he groaned. “Dang…”
~
Dick looked between Marinette and Tim with horror. Ladybug had confessed literally hours ago and here he was dating Marinette? What the heck? Sure, they were cute together, but that was just cold. Couldn’t he have waited a few days at least?
It didn’t even occur to him that maybe the whole ‘Ladybug confessing’ thing could be linked.
~
When he’d turned on his comm, he hadn’t expected anything much from it.
“The bug’s been bugged,” said Cass.
“She’s been what?”
“Bugged. Someone bad found out her identity and now she’s got a bug.”
There was a silence as this sunk in.
Then Dick was yelling. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMEONE FOUND OUT HER CIVILIAN IDENTITY?!”
“Damn, Nightwing, didn’t know you cared so much,” said Tim, who sounded a bit on edge.
“WHY DID THEY GET TO KNOW BEFORE ME?!”
“Because everyone gets to know before you,” said Cass calmly. “You’re officially the last to know.”
“IM SORRY?! EVERYONE KNEW?!”
“Yep.”
He couldn’t believe he’d been betrayed like this, especially by his own family.
And so he questioned them.
Tim had apparently figured her out the second day and not said anything about it because ‘her identity clearly matters to her, she didn’t even know I knew it until a little while ago’. Damn him. Dick couldn’t even get mad at him for that.
And then Jason was next. He’d apparently found out when Marinette had gotten shot. He’d given the same reasoning as Tim, which was more than a little suspicious.
Bruce was next. He’d found out on the Wayne Manor cams and hadn’t said anything because he thought everyone already knew. Ouch.
Duke said that he had just found out when Marinette had touched her comm. He got a pass.
And then Cass said she’d found out the moment she’d met the girl. Dick had suspected that, considering the conversation they’d had on Thanksgiving, but then he’d questioned her on why she hadn’t told him and…
“Red Hood and Marinette didn’t want you to know, so.”
Dick was practicing breathing exercises. It didn’t work, though. “WHO IS SHE?!”
He had a strong suspicion he knew, considering Jason had kept the answer from him, but he wanted to hear it directly from someone.
Jason attempted to steer the conversation away: “Hey, so about that bug thing --.”
Whatever attempts to save his wallet he was about to make was ruined by Cass, who simply said: “Marinette.”
Let’s just say Jason was lucky that Dick was against murder.
He was not, however, against cursing him out for the entire family to hear.

Okay Remy, I am going to resend that previous message I sent you, just so you have it so you can reread it if you perchance wanted to do that. Don't worry, you didn't accidentally delete it, someone else purposefully did. Also, no… you weren't left with the true things, that's just learned cognitive distortions speaking; I'm sure if you asked Jan or Rem if they thought those things about you, they would set you straight right away. I'll also put a silent alarm on your phone that'll go off the next time Remus is near you, though only if you let me. Would that help?
(Tw: Vague implications of past abuse)
Remy: "Set me straight? dfhjd who are you? my dad? Jk jk. I know what you mean. I don't know what cognition distractions or whatever mean 'cause I'm tots an idiot. Like girl the only reason I didn't fail all of highschool was 'cause Virge did just enough of my work for me. You don't gotta tell me what it means btw. I can like look it up. I may not have a brain but I do have google. and uh yeah that helps. thanks. I'm gonna go reread the message now"
A few days later, in the middle of the day, the Rems were sitting on the sidewalk behind a starbucks. There were so many people inside the cafe Remus had nearly gotten a sensory overload while ordering the 4 cupcakes and 2 sandwiches he was smashing down into his slippery gullet. Remy had just taken a black coffee.
The alarm had gone off a while ago but they didn't know how to ask him about it. He looked tense. He sat in an unnatural pose that made it easy to get up and run away. His shoulders were raised and brows just a bit furrowed. Maybe they could-
"Oh!!! Bean bitch do you wanna see what I've been drawing lately???" Remus suddenly exclaimed, crumbs of sandwich flew out of his mouth.
"Sure babe"
He had a big grin on his lips as he took out his sketchbook and flipped through it "Alright so you remember how I did some anatomy practice of you when we watched lesbian vampire movies yes? Well I kinda continued with those"
The first few drawings were realistic sketches of Remy's face from a few different angles but on the next page he'd used his cartoony style to make them into a supernatural being. One drawing showed them with 8 eyes. One with nothing but gorey eye sockets left. One with spiders crawling out of their eyes and mouth.
Remus rocked back and forth slightly "Sorry. Is it weird? I just thought it would be cool if there were some character who looked nromal but was hiding something under their sunglasses. I dunno. Maybe it's stu-"
"No. No. Babe I think it's like tots cool! You made me look like super chic. Blood is totally in right now!!"
He shone up into a bright smile "Thanks!" There was slight blushing on his cheeks.
"I think I would look cool with some teeth in my eyes just saying"
"OOOOh!! Maybe even fangs?!"
"You got it babe!"
He took out a pen and immediately started to sketch it out. Remy was just happy getting to watch him draw.
Until a notification sound came from Remus' phone. He flinched before quickly checking it and immediately setting it down again. He somehow tensed up more.
Remy took a deep breathe. They could do this. They could talk about emotional stuff.
"You good babe? I mean like at any time? 'Cause you look tense like a lot- I uh I'm not like asking why. You don't gotta tell me shit. just like wondering if you're like okay"
"You're one to talk. you walk around looking like you got a stick up your butt 24/7........Do you??....kinky"
"Not yet"
"Me neither"
They both went quiet. Remus fiddled with the ring he still had on his finger. Remy scratched at their neck.
"I...I just feel paranoid....all the time...My intrusive thoughts never shut up about how every interaction I have with other peple could end in the worst ways. Even right now" Remus muttered out after a while.
"I get that. I mean I" They forced a chuckle "Every single time my boyfriend raises his hand, just to like take a plate or something, my thoughts still scream at me that he's gonna hit me. He never does. I know he won't. But my body and thoughts still act like he will. It happens with every person. I've been sure Janus was going to slap me"
Remus looked up at them. His eyes suddenly looked so so desperate "I dosen't get better?" He asked, his voice sounded like it was close to breaking "The paranoia will Always be there?"
"What? No! No no no. of course not babe. I'm just completely fucked up y'know. Like all of my argument with my boyfriend ends with either me having like a panic attack or us fucking" They laughed "Like an overemotional crybaby y'know. But you're- You'll be fine- I'm sure- You're not- I'm just-"
Remus pulled his knees up to his chest and leaned his chin against his knees. "I think you can be fine too" He mumbled out.
"I don't- I- I dunno- It's like it's so clear I was like supposed to die at specific moments...and then I just....didn't....and now I'm just like still here even though I'm not supposed to...I'm just like a rotting corpse dragging everyone else down. I-I don't know how to be fine if my thoughts are still sure I'm going to die every single day"
Remus shrugged "I think rotting corpses are pretty cool"
It was so out of left field Remy let up into a laugh. "Jesus fuck you stupid necrophile" They hid their face in their hands "Babe I'm sorry. I'm tots rambling. I was asking if you were okay, not if you wanted to like hear me be a stupid bitch"
"It's okay. I think being able to be a stupid bitch is kinda cool too. I can't even try to vent without shutting down...I feel kind of like I'm rotting as well"
(It felt like he'd left his skin in his old apartement. To be honest it felt like his entire being had been scrapped out of him just to be left behind)
"Wow babe. Is there something you don't think is cool?"
He thought for a moment "Soap. It's icky and gets everywhere"
"Sound argument"
Remus slowly moved his head to lean it against their shoulder. He could feel their chest rise to take a shuddering breathe and lower again.
"Have you ever thought I would?" Remus quietly asked.
"Yeah" They admitted "I know you wouldn't"
"I know. I've been paranoid about you too"
"It's okay"
"I've willingly been to your apartment. That's a lot" Remus pointed out "I haven't been to Jan's apartement"
"We should break into his place in the middle of the night" Remy replied in a fake serious tone.
"Oh yeah. It's a must. How else do you know you're friends? We should bring matching friendship knives as well!"
Remy chuckled "You can design them. And my teeth eye design! That's like tots important! My true destiny is to be a monster milf y'know. The lesbians would love me"
"Ayyay captain! I'll get right on that! Remus: milf maker"
They let out an audible keysmash "Babe that's my porn name now. Milf maker! Cougar collector! Homewrecker hoobyist!!"
"Yay grammar!!"
Remy got up and held out their hand to help him up. "Aight babe, I better head home. And you better get yourself a hot bath. You sure are smelling like a rotten corpse"
"Oh don't worry. I have a demon who sends me gifts, including bathing gifts"
Remy blinked at him "Huh" They moved their arm around his shoulders and started to walk towards the busstop "Tell me all about it. Is it a hot demon?"

Tumblr media
So, funny story, you met at the hospital
Tom had dislocated his shoulder while doing a backflip *dejected sigh*
And you were just trying to keep your baby niece calm while waiting for the nurse to come get you
You were sitting on the bed, Tom was right next to you, only a curtain separating you
But there was a tiny crack near the end from where it was pulled too far
And when you pressed Olivia closer to your chest, her head resting on your shoulder, she made eye contact with him
He saw her tear-filled eyes
(broke his heart)
So he started to make funny faces at her
Which made her start to giggle and coo and make grabby hands towards him
You turned around, visibly confused because hellooo she was just crying a second ago and now she’s???laughing???
And then you saw him
oh shit he’s hot
He smiled at you
You smiled back, cause what else are you supposed to do?
He got up and pushed the curtains back 
And sat on the chair instead
Still on his side of the curtain
But looking at you straight in the eye now
“So... what’s a pretty girl like you doing in a nasty place like this?”
Poor boy thought he was smooth
But he rested his weight on his injured arm
(that idiot) 
And it lead to him hissing in pain and cradling his shoulder with a pout while you laughed
“Fell down the stairs and twisted my ankle. You?”
“Dislocated my shoulder while doing a backflip.”
Meanwhile Liv was now resting on your lap
Looking at him with a smile on her face
And clapping while he smiled at made funny faces at her again
But then he noticed you were watching
And he was kinda making a fool of himself in front of you
(cue the blushing)
(so cute)
So you decided to help him out a little
"Thanks for putting her in a good mood again."
"No problem... is she yours?"
He didn't want to seem rude so he kept the judgment out of his voice, but you seemed a bit young to have a kid already.
"Nah, she's my niece"
"Oh, okay... Why'd you bring her to the hospital with you? It must be hard having to take care of a kid and get your ankle checked."
You looked a bit sad for a while.
"My sister left her with me as soon as I turned eighteen. My parents were never in the picture so it's been me and her for almost a year now."
"I'm sorry..."
"'S okay. Besides, at least I'm not alone all the time you now? I mean, it's hard to take care of a 13 month-old, but at least I know she won't grow up like I did... afraid... wondering if her mom was gonna come home drunk or half-dressed with another guy on her tail, wishing her sister would let her sleep on the bed instead of locking herself up with her boyfriend there."
He watched you smile as you looked down at the little girl in your arms that seemed to be a perfect reflection of you.
That was the moment he fell in love with you
Dark circles under your eyes and all
He got your number (yay!!) and had to work (read: pester you) for two weeks before you agreed to go out on a date with him.
Liv stayed with Harrison (after you checked that he was a good babysitter)
He took you to a nice little restaurant near the beach
They served giant burgers
Which you liked at lot
Conversation was easy 
He asked you what you were currently doing
"I'm working as a waitress in a little diner downtown."
He also found out you were doing online college to get your creative writing degree.
You told him about your family life. 
How your dad died in a car accident when you were three. 
How your mom was an alcoholic junkie and OD'd when you were fifteen.
How your nineteen-year-old sister had to take care of you for there on out. 
How she left soon after you graduated high school and left you with a three-month-old baby to take care of.
In turn, he told you all about his life
How he became an actor and got his big break as Spider-Man
He told you about his family and how much he misses them
How thankful he is to have Haz with him
You excused yourself to the bathroom just before dessert
And that bastard took advantage of that tiny window to pay the bill
You scolded him for that obviously
And tried to pay him back
He laughed and said no
Then he bought you a giant cotton candy
"Tom, seriously I can pay for my own stuff."
"I know but I like spoiling you."
You finished the cotton candy together while strolling down the beach
Then once it was done he threw out the cone and took your hand
The sun was just setting so it was like a picture-perfect moment
So he took advantage of that and kissed you
(so cliche)
You tasted like strawberry from your chapstick
The cotton candy you just had
You tasted like sweetness
And comfort
And home
You started dating officially not long after that
And that's when it all really started
You knew he was good with kids
That first day at the hospital told you as much
But you didn't expect him to be this good
Olivia was very much in love with him
They were practically glued at the hip
She constantly wanted hugs from him
He took her to the park and threw her up in the air while she squealed in delight
He picked her up and carried her while you were making dinner so she didn't feel left out
She sat on his back while he did push-ups
He'd kiss her nose every time he did a sit-up
They would have kissing contests
He kissed her cheek
She kissed his back 
Then he kissed hers again
And so on
Her first word was Tommy
You'd never seen him so happy
You, on the other hand, were not
"I raised you on my own ever since you were three months old and this is the thanks I get?"
They'd often fall asleep together on the couch
Your camera roll was full of photos of them sleeping
Her favorite thing to do was grab him by the sides of his head and kiss his curls
(a d o r a b l e)
He helped you plan the perfect birthday party for her
"Only the best for my best girl"
"I thought I was your best girl"
"Only the best for either of my best girls but in this case the youngest one"
She loved it
You're pretty sure he loved it more
But who can say for sure?
On your six month anniversary, he told you he loved you and that he had no plans on ever leaving you two.
He forced you to quit your job at the diner
"You're overworking yourself. I have more than enough money to take care of all of us and that way you'll be able to focus on your studies and travel with me since you do online college. Everybody wins."
So you went wherever he went
Including filming for Infinity War/Endgame
He took you to set one day
Everybody loved you
But as always, Olivia stole the show
They passed her around like a little doll
She loved the attention
It was quite funny seeing such a tiny baby being held by the mountain of a man that is Chris Hemsworth
She only referred to Chris Evans as 'Cap'
And Robert would forever be 'Tony'
But they didn't mind one single bit
"She just looks so cute when she says it, I can't be mad at her."
You met his family when the filming ended and he went back to London
Dom was ecstatic to finally have a little girl to take care of
"At least she laughs at my jokes, not like those idiots"
"You can leave her with us whenever you want"
Nikki was very happy to have one more girl in her corner
"I swear, if I hear one more second of golf talk, I'll go nuts"
Harry loved taking pictures of Liv
"She's just so photogenic, it's so easy"
You learned a lot of recipes from Sam
"Finally someone that won't wreck my kitchen and taint my food's good name"
Paddy liked playing with Liv and Tessa in the backyard
"It's nice to take care of someone for a change, I'm always the one being babied"
You made your relationship public while you were in London, a year and a half after you started dating
The public loved you
Because he just couldn't help but brag
And Tom with kids is the content the fans live for
tomhotland: omgggg they're so cuteee
spideysbae: the heart eyes thoooo
peterpprotectionsquad: i hereby declare that Olivia is the cutest baby to have ever existed and she must be protected at all costs
He took you to the Far From Home premiere
Your dress matched his suit
The fans went crazy
Olivia was living her best life in her little red and black dress
She'd gotten used to the flashes after Harry's numerous photoshoots
So she was just smiling and clapping a lot
The paparazzi loved her
The interviewers kept asking about you two
"(Y/N)'s the love of my life and Olivia's the sweetest baby I've ever known, I couldn't love her more if she was my own"
"So, do I hear wedding bells ringing?"
"Well, you never know"
That caught your attention for a second but you let it go in favor of posing with Liv after the paps all but begged you to
"Livvy say bye-bye"
She sent a kiss a said bye-bye in all her baby glory
They awed so much
His Instagram was filled with pictures of the three of you
Zendaya took a bunch of selfies with her as well
"Our dresses match, I have no choice"
She kept pretty quiet during the movie
But hugged Tom especially hard when she saw him cry on the big screen
The next morning, you were all over the headlines
"The sweetest little family in Hollywood"
On your third anniversary, he took you on a week-long trip to Bora Bora
Liv stayed with his parents
He took you on a walk to the beach
(déjà vu much?)
And proposed
Clumsily, but he proposed
How can a proposal be clumsy, you ask?
Well, he kneeled on a rock at first
"Ow! Fuck my knee, hold on a second"
Then he kept stuttering because he was so nervous
And in the end (after you said yes and he checked about five times cause "Wait seriously?") he started freaking out cause the ring didn't fit
But she wears the ring I used as a reference all the time!
"Um, Tom?"
"Yeah, babe?"
"The ring's supposed to go on my other hand..."
Ah, that explains it
The wedding was simple but beautiful
Livvy was the flower girl cause she wanted to throw petals in the air
Tessa brought the rings
His heart almost stopped when he saw you walk down the aisle
He was convinced you'd never looked more beautiful than that day at the premiere when your clothes matched 
But right now, looking at your smile and how gorgeous you looked in that dress, he realized he was wrong
He sniffled, trying to hold his tears, but Haz just handed him a tissue
"I came prepared"
You two adopted Liv
She was your daughter anyway, you just made it official
She started calling you 'mommy' and 'daddy'
"She called me 'daddy'."
Oh, the tears
To Tom's great delight, she started picking up a British accent, as she grew
It didn't help that she stayed at Nikki and Dom's all the time when you started teaching at a university in London
So they dialed they're British-ness up to eleven so she'd pick up on the accent
"Mummy, what's for pudding?"
Good Lord
After two years of trying, you found out Tom was unable to have kids
He cried a lot, and felt like he failed
You shut him up with a kiss and immediately mentioned adoption
"There are hundreds of children begging for a home and parents to love them."
You adopted an eight-year-old boy named Lucas and his five-year-old sister Cleo
Olivia loved having another girl her age
They had tea parties
And played dress-up
And forced Lucas to play the prince
You taught them to bake so they could have cookies for their tea party
And Tom found himself often ambushed in one of their games
"No, daddy, you gotta pretend that the big bad dragon took you so we can save you."
They rolled around on the floor and made 'pew pew' noises to imitate guns
Lucas was always quieter
He was your little angel
You two were very close
He shared your love for writing and literature
As well as cooking, to Uncle Sam's greatest delight
You often sat down on the couch, the five of you (and Tessa, obviously) and someone read a book out loud, while the others just laid back and listened
Cleo became very interested in Uncle Harry's camera and took a bunch of photos of her sister and her dad with the polaroid camera she got for her seventh birthday
Olivia still loved the attention and remained the bright and photogenic child she'd always been
She became a model, to no one's surprise
Cleo became a freelance photographer, which allowed her to fulfill her dream of traveling the world while taking pictures and earning good money
Lucas became one of Hollywood's best and brightest screenwriters
But everyone still made time for each other
Attending every single one of Liv's fashion shows
Every time Cleo showcased her pictures in a gallery, they were the first ones there
All of Lucas' films
Going to all of Tom's premieres and wearing matching clothes, per Liv and Cleo's request
"It's for the aesthetic"
Everyone was happy
And life was good
Tumblr media
i’m pretty happy now, ngl
i need a Tom in my life

New Memories
Sam Winchester × Reader
Tumblr media
Prompt: After getting to know why your boyfriend dislikes Halloween, you're determined to make him forget all about it.
Warnings: Implied smut, fluff (sorta)
A/n: There is an Office reference in this fic since that's the only other show I watch other than Supernatural.
So I gave this fic idea to @holylulusworld as an ask for her Kinktober list and kinda ended up writing a version myself. So be sure to check out her's too right here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hey, let’s go home.”
“What?”
“We’ve been out here for half an hour.”
"You really don't like Halloween, do you?" You ask, momentarily looking away from the joyful crowds of children in various and creative costumes as they skipped from house to house, their candies in their bags rustling with each step.
The taller Winchester sighs beside you. "You already know why I don't like Halloween."
"But it was over something stupid!" You say, and smile, removing your hand from his and wrapping it around his arm. "We're out here creating new memories. Come on!"
He looks at you with a smile ghosting his face, his eyes roaming your costume of brown slacks, a tan shirt with a brown tie and fake glasses perched on your nose. "You really went all out with you costume, right?"
"Dwight K. Schrute," you smile and speak in almost bored tone to match your favourite character's voice. "Assistant regional manager."
You look at Sam expectantly and he sighs. "To the, you mean."
You chuckle and continue walking, the orange and purple lights decorating the subarban houses lightening up your mood. “And, I didn’t go all out. Just bought these online. Wasn’t that hard to find.”
The two of you had been walking in the neighborhood for the past hour, not trick-or-treating (even if you wanted to, you doubted people would hand you candy) but just walking and looking at the decorations put up. The children laughing everywhere and everyone just being happy really brought your spirits up.
“Atleast I wore a costume,” you say and look at Sam with a smirk. He was obviously donning one of his flannels and his jeans.
“We wear costumes everyday,” Sam chuckles, guiding your hands around his torso so he could wrap his arm around your shoulders.
After walking together in a comfortable silence for another five minutes, you look down at your watch. "Hey, I think we should head back."
"Wait, seriously?”
“Yeah, I mean, you’re right. Anyways, we should probably check on the guys-” you look down at your watch again, forgetting the time- “How many movies do you think they’re done with?”
“I don’t know. Four, probably.”
You tilt your head slightly to agree with Sam. While you and your boyfriend were busy making cookies and brownies with cool Halloween design frostings, Dean was ready to binge watch all the Halloween classics. Cas and Jack had joined him- the nephilim was curious and wanted to see the movies and the angel was happy spending time with them.
You and Sam had joined them for one movie, you quickly dragging Sam off for him to join you in your walk around the neighborhood.
"You sure you want to leave? I can stop with the complaining-"
You fake a yawn, and shake your head, pouting slightly as you look at him. "No, I'm just tired." You peck his lips. "Let's go home."
~~
You weren’t tired. Ever since you had heard why Sam didn’t like Halloween, you felt like it was your job to somehow turn that around and with an entire day that felt quite magical already, you were ready to spice it up slightly. Sam was already one to not want to make a big deal of things but having dated for about a year and the relationship going really great, you knew you owed it to him.
Looking at the fitted red dress that you were wearing, you sigh slightly. It was the only costume left in the local supermarket (well not the only one but the others were way too inappropriate) and was expensive. But now looking at yourself in the mirror and feeling the fabric- it was sure worth it. But it wasn't a complete costume without the red horns that were on your bed. It was way too inappropriate to be dressed as the Devil so you chose to not wear the headband.
Checking yourself out in the mirror and making final touches to your makeup, you nod your head and turn around to find your sandals.
Just then, someone knocks on your door and you turn, stopping mid-stride.
"Y/n?"
Sam? Shit, you were going to surprise him in his room.
You stayed in his room most nights and most of your stuff was there- you only came here for alone time or to grab something else.
You had given him an excuse that you would get changed into a hoodie you had left behind and meet him to watch a movie together. You had a speech prepared and you had the surprise entirely planned out.
"Y/n?" Sam asks again and the handle twists.
"I'm here, I'm here! Don't open the door!" You exclaim without thinking and look around the room. You spot your red heels at the foot of your bed and you quickly jog to them and put them on. If Sam was already here, you ought to be completely ready.
"Are you fine? What's wrong?" He asks, his voice laced in worry but thankfully the door doesn't open.
"Nothing's wrong," you huff, blowing your hair out of your face. "I just-" you turn to clean your bed "-wasn't ready." Quickly pushing the horns and other clothes into your bedside drawer, you jump onto the bed and try your best to lay in a sexy pose, though with your deep breathes and slightly messed up hair, you were already convinced you had messed things up.
You were lying down on your elbows, your body angled towards the door. One of your legs was hanging off and the other was precariously on the bed, showing off the strappy red heels you'd put on. "Okay," you say, trying to slow down your breathing, "you can come in now."
The door pushes open and Sam walks in wearing a suit. His jaw immediately falls open when he sees you on the bed.
"Y/n-"
"Why are you wearing a suit?" You ask, frowning a bit. Sam takes a step forward, his eyes raking your form before he opens his mouth and closes it. He looks in the hallway before shutting the door, his bewildered expression not wearing off.
"I-" he starts off and shuts his eyes, shaking his head "-I thought we were going to watch one movie."
"No, I wanted to surprise you!" You chuckle, your nerves seriously not helping. Was he angry or something? You really didn't plan for this. "Get your mind off your humiliation," you add in, chuckling nervously.
"Oh," he whispers softly and stands there for a moment before pulling his suit jacket off hurriedly, struggling a bit and walking to the bed quickly.
You chuckle as he struggles to remove his tie and climbs over you, pressing his lips onto yours.
"Sam-" you giggle between the kisses he was showering you with. "What- why are you in a suit?"
The Winchester draws back and looks down at you, his lips already kiss-swollen. "I tried to dress up like Michael," he whispers, his breath fanning over your face.
"Scott?" You ask, a smile creeping onto your face.
"Yeah. The Michael to your Dwight."
"You're supposed to be my Angela."
"Well, I wasn't going to put on a skirt."
"You could have been beets. Or-" you're cut off with another kiss.
"You're gonna start rambling again," Sam whispers again and you feel the blood rushing to your cheeks.
"Sorry," you chuckle and look into Sam's eyes. Your breath catches slightly when you notice his blown out pupils. "You like this dress, huh?"
Sam pecks your lip before speaking in a dangerously low voice. "Well, if wanting to tear it off your body counts as liking the dress then sure."
You chuckle and cup his cheeks, smiling softly at him. "You look good in a suit."
He kisses you again, harder than before and you sigh slightly. He takes it as an opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth to deepen the kiss.
You wrap your arms around his neck, trying to pull him closer as his hands grip your waist in a bruising hold.
You smile into the kiss. You were definitely going to make new memories tonight.

The Other Side (Part 4)
Tumblr media
Summary: a story about love and reincarnation
Warnings: none, song: please I recomend you to listen 'Ace of Hearts by Zella day' since a think is a beautiful song and match the romance, especially this chapter in the end.
»Thank you for being receptive with the fic.This chapter is in the same day as the other, if you look carefully at the details, you'll see.Also let me now if any of you wants to be tagged! «
Gabriella didn't know exactly how the visions started, she just remember feeling really nauseated at the time.However, she went to different doctors and psychiatrists that never find anything, but tried to put the fault in the fact that "she was abandoned, by her real mother" and it somehow caused a “trauma".
She always knew, since childhood, that she was adopted.At the age of 5, in a saturday morning her 'mother' came up and told to both of the kids that she wasn't her daughter by blood.But that it doesn't really matter, because the first time she saw her, she knew, she was meant to be her daughter and Julia's sister.The little girl only smiled answering a "love you,mommy”.
Now, old enough to understand, Gabriella couldn't be more grateful for everything that her and Julia, did to her.She would be forever grateful, the way they made her feel home and happy, never ending.She couldn't ask for more, but the same for them.
But yet, this never explained why she had the visions she had.The doctors could be right, if it wasn't for the fact that she was abandoned when a baby.Now all that she could think about was that.She was worried.She didn't know the meaning of a coffee "overflowing blood" , but she was damn sure she saw it happening, in front of her eyes.However the fear of being discovered as a “crazy lady in london", was worst so she just left the cafeteria, putting the pennies at table.
It has been only one day, that she was in London and confusion was something she felt the most part of the time.Her phone rangs and with cold hands she grabbed.
“Hello?"
“Hey, Gabs" she heard the voice of her sister on the other side of the line and tried to play it cool.
“Hey"
“Are you okay?" she could tell something wasn't right just by the tone.It was hard to lie to Julia.
“Yeah, right, I just had a headache. How was it?”
“It was fine, they told me everything I needed to know before I start on Monday." There we're a loud noise of people on the other side and apparentely some yelling.
“Look, Joe called me saying that he has some of kinda of invitation to us, and asked if we could find him at mall"
“At the mall?”
“Yeah, he told me that whatever where were going I have to use a dress, and not pants and a pair of boots"
Gabriella laughed at how annoyed she sounded.
“Are you laughing?"
“No, I'm sorry, but I think he's right, I don't understand why you never use a dress."
“It's not like is never, besides I think pants are more comfortable"
“Yeah, right"
“Ok, so find me at the mall, 12 PM?”
“Fine"
[...]
“Joe, this is really necessary?"
Julia asked annoyed after trying the third dress of the day.
“Of course it is, there's going to be a lot of ladies dressed like that"
She looked at the mirror, the dress wasn't bad, it was black, long and loose, she even liked it, but she still thought that her pants, sweater, boots and olive jacket was better.
“You're not gonna tell us where kind of event we're going, that requires those fancy dresses?”
“All you need to know is that a friend of mine invinted me, and me being the best guy that I am,I'm gonna bring you two with me and well now I'm buying you a dress.”
"What a gentleman" Gabriella says smiling and looking at the shoes she was putting.
“That's the time you two should say, 'oh my god Joe, you're the best!' "
“I really hope, you're not setting up one of us in a date"
“What's the problem?I see that you finally broken up with that prick so that means you're single and Gabi too"
She rolled her eyes adjusting the strap of the dress.
“Are you not going to tell us the name of your friend?"
"Yeah your 'best mate' " she faked the british accent laughing and receiving a hard look.
“Well you now" he posed in front of the mirror touching his hair and looking back at the two girls. “No one special, just Ben, I mean Benjamin Jones"
Realization came to Julia's eyes and she arched her eyebrows.
“Benjamin, wait, what?!” Gabriella took one minute to assimilate the sentence, a little shocked.
“Benjamin Jones?Are you joking?God, I can't , he's a genius!
“Yeah and happens to be a really nice guy too, I told him about you and he offered to go."
“I didn't know you two where friends"
“Well, we are, and I think you'll like him”
“Of course she will, he's intelligent, handsome and a journalist.I would kill to have a conversation about politics or anything with him"
Julia rolled her eyes again, shaking her head at her sister, smiling.
“Yes he's really talented and everything, but now I really need to decide which dress, because we don't pretend to expend all the day here right?And since you want your conversation we need to walk" her sister nodded enthusiastic.
“How do I look?”
“Perfect"
[...]
Outside the night seemed cold, only lights iluminating,sky without stars.The blond man looked through a window taking another sip of his whisky.
“Benjamin Jones!"
The voice of his boss echoed and he turned around giving him a quick smirk.
“Mitchum"
Mitchum Huntzberger was the editor-in-chief of 'The Front Page' one of the most influent journals in town.
“How are the things?"
It was really ironic to say that they were friends, since the beggining Mitchum made it clear their positions in journal: his being the editor-in-chief, and Benjamin, well a mere journalist who had the lucky of become famous.The truth was, Mitchum really liked Jones job, but refused himself to recognize that he was, in fact, a better journalist than he, Mitchum Huntzberger, could ever be.
“Fine"
“Did you enjoy yourself at this party?There's a lot of ladies here, for all types."
Ben always hated the way he treated woman around him, objectifying them.
“Yeah I see they're all interisting”
“You should give yourself a night of relief, if you know what I mean, if you keep yourself working like a dog, you might loose the taste."
Benjamin thought that at any moment he could throw the man in front of him out of the window, but infortunately he liked and needed his job.
“Thanks for your worry Mitchum, but I'm not looking for anyone tonight." he took another sip “I might let the chances for you"
He tapped his boss shoulder walking across the room, lefting the man alone, grateful that he didn't followed him.He step aside the tall man sighing tired.
“TED talks with the boss"
“I swear I could throw him trought the bloody window”
“The feeling is mutual, my friend, but think at least now we have a reason to toast"
Ben laughed.
“To our dick 'editor-in-chief'"
They hit the glasses, drinking all the whiskey.
“Joe is really coming?"
“I guess so, I offered to him to bring to girls"
“Two girls?" Gwilym smirks intentionally at his friend.
“What?”
“Nothing you just offered to him to bring two girls and I am the desperate for love"
"Oh shut it"
He shake his head seeing his other friend entering the party.
“Joe!" he talk out loud as the music start playing in some waltz rhythm.
“Ben!" he hugs his friend tapping his back.“Gwil!"
“Give me a drink please" Joe says to the man who has been serving the drinks. “So how is the party"
“Sublime" Gwilym says ironicaly and the blond one denies with his head, smirking.
“Well I have two interisting people to apresent to you, so maybe you night could be less boring." he blinks at Ben and he reply with a mouthful "yeah".
Joe turns around going into the direction of the two girls, one of them with a short hair and other with long.
At the moment she turns around to look at them Benjamin could hear his heart skip a beat and his eyes focuse in her moviments.The resemblance was haunting.She had exactly the same pale skin, freckles on it, dark brown eyes and hair except for the fact that it was shorter than he remembered.He could feel his stomach drop, he didn't know if he was seeing was true or not, but she was there in front of him vivid and real just as his dream.No she wasn't pleading to live, neither crying or even dead.She was alive, right in front of him looking at his eyes and smiling politely as he continued staring, reminding himself of his dream.
“Ben this Julia, Julia this Ben, well Benjamin, but we call him Ben"
And he took her hand, an eletricity running trought their palms as he shaked it gently.He was sure she felt it too, by the way she looked away, at his friend.However her eyes always find his again after some minutes.
In the other side of the room Gabriella stopped, she could feel it happening again as she tried to approach the group of friends.Blinlink a few times, she looked at them.
Her eyes widened at the sight in front of her.No, she couldn't be dreaming.At one minute she was in a room, a party, but now everything seemed out of place and time.Her blood started to boil, she didn't understood why they're dressed like that, with old clothes and accessories, like in era of the queen victoria and the books that she read before.Whatever it was, it wasn't her sister or Benjamin, they looked so different, so
“Gabriella!"
She didn't felt when she fell on the ground and before she could even reply everything went black.
