What do you think you'll be doing 5 years from now? What do you want to do? I'm not even going to try and go there, man. I have to take things day by day. Hell, hour by hour.

Handle The Heat [M]

Pairing: Choi Minho x female reader

Genre: suggestive / enemies to lovers / love triangle

Warnings: rather suggestive and steamy, without any sex though.

Monthly Prompt: Love Triangle

Word count: 1514

If there was one person who you envied in this world, it was Choi Minho. Not only was the man attractive and effortlessly successful, but he had also always beat you at everything. School, sports, life achievements, and just naturally growing up - it felt as if the fates had blessed him with the easy route whilst you had to work for it.

But not this time. You would not lose to Minho again.

“Jude isn’t some prize to win, Y/N,” your best friend Margo pointed out as you glared across the club where Jude and Minho sat together, the former breaking into a laugh at something Minho said. You downed a shot, growling lowly at him yet again getting in before you could do anything about it.

“I know she isn’t,” you confirmed, your eyes not leaving the pair. You felt a pang of disappointment when Jude’s hand gripped onto Minho’s bicep, his handsome smile brightening up the room.

And darkening you further.

“What’s your plan then?”

Glancing away from the pair, you cocked your head to the side to look at Margo. “Plan?”

“Minho’s got his A-game on. How do you plan on snatching Jude out from under his nose? He won’t let a single moment be spared now he has her for the night. You should have heard him last weekend when it was you and Jude cosying up over there together.”

Flashes of sweet touches and intimate conversation filled your mind, and you warmed instantly, as if you could feel the heat from Jude’s body again. You had spent the whole night with her and ended up on the club’s main floor, dancing provocatively together and enticing more than just Minho eying you both. After one too many drinks, you had drunkenly giggled your way through some heated kisses outside her apartment, pressing her into the wall with need.

You had been sent off with the promise it wouldn’t be the last time you’d be flush against her. However, with the way she was all but sitting in Minho’s lap, you wondered if Jude had forgotten the depraved sentiments she had breathlessly groaned into your ear a week ago.

You stood suddenly, spurred on by the repeated murmurs in your head, marching over to the loved-up pair. Whilst Jude grinned at you, Minho’s grimace was what made your smile grow.

“Y/N. How untimely it is to see you tonight.”

“Minho,” you replied with a curt nod. “Ever the gentleman.”

“I aim to please,” he muttered into the drink he picked up.

“I’m so glad to see you tonight, Y/N,” Jude announced, reaching out with a hand for your face, caressing it gently before standing up.  Her eyes eagerly flicked to a message that came through on her phone. “Can you keep my seat for me? I’ll be right back.”

“S-sure,” you agreed, glancing at the death glare Minho was giving you behind Jude’s back before he smiled as she turned to press a kiss onto his cheek. She then pranced off and got lost in the throes of the club.

You slumped into the chair and took Minho’s glass to gulp a long drink from it. “Excuse me, I wasn’t done with that.”

“Well, you are now, buddy. Off you go.”

Minho’s eyebrow rose. “You think finishing off my drink will signal my time over here is done? Try again, Y/N.”

“She kissed you on the cheek,” you mentioned, watching male pride bloom over his face as he smirked. You nodded nonchalantly. “How sweet.”

“And you suppose Jude will do more than that with you?”

It was your turn to glow. “Has, you mean.”

“What?” Minho’s sharp gaze stumbled momentarily before he smoothed his expression to indifference. “Whatever.”

Sidling closer to Minho, you ran a hand up his perfectly sculpted arm, his eyes watching your teasing hand intently. Finally cupping the side of his neck in your hand, you leaned into his closest ear, exhaling breathily for effect. You felt him stiffen and shudder. “You should have seen how pretty Jude was when I had her pressed up against the wall outside her apartment.”

Minho swallowed. Shifted in his chair. Inhaled deeply. Finally, he turned his head and caught your eye. “Liar.”

Emboldened by how he was acting, you slid a thigh over his lap to straddle him, trying not to revel in the gasp you drew out of him in the process. You were certain he had stopped thinking when his hands moved to your hips and held you down into his groin. It was you who exhaled shakily at this, waiting for his competitive nature to kick in and throw you off the game you were playing.

The fire between you was always stoked and ready to burn, but this smouldering heat from different from the usual burn.

Recovering before he broke out of the stupor you had placed on him, you braced your hands on Minho’s shoulders and grazed your lips over his neck. “Was it like this? Her lips on my neck moaning prettily?”

You shifted and felt his arousal press into you, your eyes darting to his. They were molten, stuck on yours, waiting to see what you did next.

“Oh, now this is exactly what I was hoping to happen!” a gleeful tone cut in, breaking the spell you were both under. Scrambling out of Minho’s lap at Jude’s return, you flushed with embarrassment. You hadn’t ever thought of Minho in the way you had just been experiencing. Whilst you had no issues finding either gender attractive, you had always been put off by the competition between you to acknowledge the simmering heat between you could burst into passionate flames.

“Y/N was just trying to… Oh, you have a friend with you?”

Looking at the man wrapped around Jude’s body, you became confused. Who was he, and why did she look so content in his embrace? He stared down at her with eyes that only a lover would give in public like that. You couldn’t help but hear warning bells go off.

“This is my boyfriend, York. He’s been overseas for a month and just got back in today. York, this is Minho and Y/N, the couple I was telling you about. I think they might like—”

“Your boyfriend,” Minho cut in with a small laugh. He sounded slightly unhinged, and when you looked at his face, you saw the crush of being too late for anything invade it. Whilst you were mutually disappointed at the fact that Jude had led you on, you commiserated that you hadn’t been alone with that either.

You were both at a loss here.

Jude nodded. “We’re committed to one another, but we practice an open relationship too. We were wondering if you’d like to join us.”

“Oh,” you mentioned, blinking a few times. You felt Minho’s gaze on you. He had quickly recovered and was trying not to laugh at your stunned response to the invitation. Your lips twitched, but you merely said, “oh” again.

“You know, I think we’re good here, right, Y/N?” Minho answered, still holding your gaze a moment longer before politely smiling up at the pair. “But thanks for the opportunity.”

“Suit yourselves,” York replied with a shrug, scooping Jude up and all but carrying her out of the club. You both watched them leave, stunned into silence.

And then a bubble of laughter rose from within and escaped. “That just happened, right?”

“I believe so.”

“Not that there’s anything wrong with exploring more than one partner at the same time,” you told Minho, who arched his eyebrow again, calling you out non-verbally. You chuckled. “Okay, for you and I—”

“It’s got to be just us,” Minho finished, holding your stare again. Your humour died off as you got lost gazing at him, soaking in all that had been in front of you all this time. Without thinking it through, you slipped your hand back to his neck.

Minho’s hand gripped your waist as he leaned into you. His eyes slipped to your mouth that parted to take in a shallow breath.

“Are you sure, Minho? We’ve been enemies forever.”

“Maybe I’m tired of competing against you,” he murmured, his mouth inching closer to yours. You were sharing the same breath now. “Maybe I want to see what it’s like to be with you instead.”

“Are you sure you can handle the heat of that, Minho? I’m not going to hold back if you do.”

“I’ve been burned by your sting one too many times to retreat,” he admitted, challenge swirling with the lust now blazing his eyes. You whimpered as you slipped back onto his lap, bringing yourself flush against his upper body.

Running your hands through his hair, you marvelled at how right this felt. Especially when his lips ghosted yours, drawing out a moan from you with the lightest of touch.

“I want more than the sting, Y/N. By the time I’m done with you tonight, you’ll be engulfed in flames.”

You honestly couldn’t think of anything better.

Word Count: 2959

Warning: None

Song I Wrote To: “Hit The Ground Running” by Alice Merton

Note: As I mentioned in a part, I am sticking pretty close to canon for the Whisperer War so if you have not caught up from season 9 all the way through the recent episode of season 10, there will be spoilers for it. Also, I never expected this series to evolve so much so a lot more of the story will be told from the reader POV, but don’t worry Negan will have a POV as well. I’m going to give both sides throughout! Also: timing is different, I changed a few things to fit the plot. 

---------

“Do you know what confuses me?” Negan asked. 

“A lot?” you offered and he hit you with his pillow. You were hanging out in Negan’s cell, the keys hooked to your belt. When Gabriel and Michonne had assigned you to be his therapist, they never said anything about you not being allowed inside the cell with him.

Even if they didn’t like it, you were still going to do it. The two of you were sitting side by side on the cot, staring at the stone ceiling together. 

“Can I finish what I was going to say?” he asked. You gestured for him to continue. “I was going to say, why do we call them Walkers?” 

“Because they walk?” you offered. You didn’t really know where it came from, but Rick had called the Dead that once and it just sort of stuck within the group. It was easier than saying the Dead all the time. 

“We don’t call people, breathers,” Negan noted. 

“Yeah, because they are people, Negan,” you reminded him, looking over at him. 

“So are Walkers,” he said. 

“Not really,” you said with a dismissive scoff. “They cease to exist as soon as they turn. They’re just shells.”

“If I turned, is that how you would see me?” he asked. 

“I don’t want to talk about that,” you said quietly.

“About what? Me becoming a Walker. It could happen one day, (Y/N),” Negan said. 

“I know that, but I would rather not think of you with white eyes and…” you trailed off, taking a breath trying to stay calm. “Don’t make me think about that.” You felt Negan take your hand and you slipped your fingers through his, letting the firm grip comfort you. 

“I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“Not your fault,” you told him. “You know me, I get all doom and gloom.”

“Welcome to the club,” he sighed. “You know you’re allowed to feel like that, right? All doom and gloom,” he teased with a bump to your shoulder. 

“I know,” you said, leaning into him. Any time either of you initiated physical contact, it felt weird and good at the same time. You weren’t sure if anything was going to go any further at this point, but any time he reached for your hand or brushed his knuckles across your cheek, it made you absolutely melt inside. 

A yawn escaped you before you could help it. “You should go get some sleep,” he whispered. You nodded but had no intention of moving. “(Y/N)…” he said and you sunk down further on the cot. “You can’t stay here.”

“Says who?” you argued. 

“Me,” Negan said, “you snore.” You smacked his chest. 

“I do not,” you argued. 

“Come on, Teach,” he said, a new nickname he had come up with, “you don’t need to be sleeping in a cage. Not you.” Knowing he wouldn’t let up, you relented and sat up with a frown. 

“Fine, but I won’t be happy about it,” you said. 

“I would hope not,” Negan said with a wink.

“I’ll talk to you tomorrow,” you said, pulling your hand from his slowly. 

“I’ll be here,” he promised. With a last look, you unlocked the cage door and secured it behind you. Waving goodnight to him, you headed out of the cell and up onto the street, ready for some decent dreams for once. Considering the feeling in your stomach from your evening with Negan, you figured that may happen after all.

--------

It felt way too early to be saddling up a horse. 

When Michonne had knocked on your door early that morning you were less than thrilled to be greeted by your fearless leader. She explained that she was going to be taking the newcomers to Hilltop and that she was worried about the cold greeting she knew she would be getting.

You didn’t really know what to tell the woman. You knew how Tara felt when she left Alexandria and you also knew that Michonne had pushed everyone in Hilltop away. Nonetheless, you agreed to keep an eye on things while she was gone and went to the main stable to hitch up the makeshift wagon. 

With Yumiko, the injured woman with the new group, still being injured, they had to set out at a slow pace. As you ran your hand down the side of one of the larger horses, you could see Judith frowning at her mom in the distance. You knew she was upset that Michonne was going to Hilltop without her, but Michonne wasn’t planning on staying long. 

Your mind began to wander then and so did your eyes. You searched for Rosita, but her dark hair was nowhere to be found. She had mentioned something about helping Eugene with something, but you hadn’t seen her since. Knowing Porter, he most likely dragged her out into the middle of nowhere. 

Still, you would ask Michonne to keep an eye out just in case. While Rosita was opinionated and brash, she was also the one person next to Jesus, one of your closest friends, that you trusted to talk to. Then again, there was still one other person who you confided in, but Negan wasn’t the best choice when he was the topic you needed advice on.

-------

Once you managed to get the horses saddled and ready to go, you made your way over to the new group. You hadn’t had any time to actually talk to them for more than a few minutes, but they seemed nice enough and you were glad that Michonne was giving them a chance at Hilltop. 

As you approached, you noticed Judith attempting to do some sign language. With a small laugh, you placed your hand on her shoulder and she looked up at you with a goofy grin.

“I’m trying,” she said with a wrinkle of her nose. 

“You’ll get it,” you assured her before turning to the woman you knew as Connie. “It was nice to meet you,” you signed much to her and Judith’s surprise. Connie smiled at you and stood from her kneeling position to shake your hand. 

“You too,” Connie signed back and you nodded to her as well as the woman you knew to be her sister.

“You gotta teach me that,” Judith whispered as you took a few steps back from the wagon as they began loading up. 

“I got you, kid,” you promised, hooking her pinky with yours. As Michonne mounted her horse, she nodded to you and you returned the gesture. Waving to her daughter, Michonne and the others lead the newcomers out of Alexandria to start the trek to Hilltop. 

-------

It was much later when you found Judith alone. “Come on,” you said, “how about you and I get some training in?”

“Don’t you have things to do?” Judith asked, confused. 

“I always got time for you, Jude,” you said. “Also, who else is going to teach me how to use a blade if not you?” you teased, and she beamed up at you before running to get the practice swords Daryl had made for her a couple of years before.  

Since guns were not as readily available, you had to pick up hand to hand pretty quickly. You were never bad per se, but you were always better from a distance. Daryl had tried to teach you to use his bow and while you could when you had to, you never felt comfortable with arrows or bolts. 

Instead, you began observing Michonne and Judith’s sessions. Whenever you went to see Jesus or he ventured over to Alexandria, he would spar with you as well. As you twirled the wooden sword in your hand, you wondered what it would be like to spar with Negan. 

You weren’t sure how skilled he was in a fight when it came to specifics. Of course, you had seen him go after Rick and kill Walkers, but intricate fighting was a lot different than just swinging a baseball bat. 

Trying to stay focused on the task at hand, you circled the young girl, blocking her strikes. Considering how small Judith was, it was a challenge to get your own hits in, but you managed to work up a bit of a sweat as you practiced. Eventually, she collapsed on the ground with a dramatic sigh. 

“Why is it so hot?” she asked, pulling her hat off to shake out her hair. 

“Because you’re working hard, Jude,” you said, joining her on the grass. 

“You’re getting really good,” she complimented. 

“Why thank you, Jedi Master,” you joked and she looked at you confused. “Nevermind,” you said. “You know, I may have to get one of the blacksmiths to make me a sword of my own. Might be a bit better than the knives I carry now.”

“One like Mom’s?” Judith asked. 

“Oh, definitely not!” you said with a laugh. “I think you and your mom have the exclusive rights to those beauties. Maybe something a bit smaller, a short sword kind of thing.” 

“I think that would fit you,” Judith said after consideration. 

“You see Rosita anywhere?” you asked her, looking around again. 

“No, sorry,” Judith said, placing her hat back on her head. “(Y/N), can I ask you something?” she asked. 

“Of course,” you said, giving her your full attention. 

“Do you think we’ll ever all be together again?” Judith asked. 

“What do you mean?” 

“We never talk to the others anymore. Hilltop, Oceanside, even The Kingdom. I haven’t seen Aunt Carol in so long,” she said sadly. “I miss them.”

“I know, kid,” you said, dreading the conversation. You didn’t think you were the person who should be talking to her about this. “I think that one day we’ll all be back together. Hopefully sooner than later.”

“Uncle Daryl, too?” she asked, looking up at you with those big eyes of hers. 

“Yeah, your Uncle too,” you whispered with a small smile. Judith nodded, wiping at her eyes when suddenly she sat up straight. “What is it?” 

“That’s not one of our horses,” Judith said as she stood. Turning to where her eyes were aimed, you saw what had caught her attention. A rider had arrived at Alexandria and you recognized them immediately.

They were from Hilltop. 

“Stay here,” you told Judith as you got to your feet and jogged over to the stables. Gabriel was already there. “What’s going on?” you asked the Father as soon as you approached. 

“Rosita,” Gabriel said, frozen where he stood. You placed a hand on his shoulder. 

“What happened?” you asked the Hilltop rider. 

“We found her,” they said, “she’s hurt and Eugene is missing.”

“What do you mean he’s missing?” you asked, taking charge of the situation just as Michonne would have wanted. 

“I don’t know, but that’s all we got out of her before she passed out.”

“(Y/N),” Gabriel began, but didn’t get much more out. You knew what he was asking and you didn’t need to be asked twice. 

“Saddle a horse for me, Gabe, I’m riding for Hilltop.” 

------

Just before heading out, you stopped by the cell to explain what was going on. 

“So, you’re leaving?” Negan asked as he stood at the bars, his arms crossed. “Alone?”

“This is not my first time riding to Hilltop and I am going back with the escort. We’re going to ride fast so I can help with the search. I know those woods and surrounding areas well.”

“And what if whatever or whoever that hurt Rosita is still out there?”

“Then we will deal with it. I’m not going out alone, but Gabriel needs me to go and I have to go help them. I can’t just sit here.”

“I thought Michonne and Siddiq were already going?” he asked. 

“They’re pulling the wagon and they had to make some stops to pick up the new group’s things. I can get there faster on horseback.”

“So help me, (Y/N), if you do anything stupid and get hurt…” he said, bracing his hands on the bars. You put yours on top of his. 

“I will be fine. I think you forget that I’ve been a skilled fighter for years now. I know how to handle myself against the Walkers and the Breathers,” you said with a wink. He smiled at that. “When I get back, I’ll come to see you first, I promise.”

Negan was quiet for a moment, but then said, “Please be careful.”

“Always,” you promised and then reached up and paced your hand against his cheek. “I’ll be home soon.” 

“I’ll be waiting,” he said as you took a step back, and with a final look at him as if you were trying to memorize his face you turned your back and headed for your horse.

--------

You, along with the Hilltop escort, rode hard towards the community. 

All you could think about was Rosita and what the hell had happened. Ro was a fierce fighter and Eugene was brilliant. Whatever had gotten the jump on them had you worried.

Your mind went back to a conversation you had had with Negan. He had asked you what you thought was out there and you didn’t have an answer. There was a part of you now that had a feeling you were about to find out. 

It took a while to reach Hilltop, but when you did, the doors pulled open as your horses turned up the long road to the community. Diane was on watch and the surprised look on her face as you rode in was enough to make you feel nervous. You hadn’t seen anyone outside Alexandria in a while and it was like going to a high school reunion and you didn’t like it. 

However, your nerves were short-lived when you spotted a group of people saddling up horses and gearing up. You nearly crashed to the ground dismounting your horse when you saw a familiar vest.

A vest with wings. 

“Daryl!” you called, walking toward him, trying to get your legs back beneath you. Turning at the sound of his name, Daryl spotted you immediately and ran for you. You didn’t hesitate to pull him into your arms. “Holy shit,” you said as you clutched at him, giving him a hug that could have crushed bones. 

“Hey, (Y/N),” he said, pulling back. “What are ya doin’ here?” he asked. 

“Hilltop told us what was goin’ on. I couldn’t just sit there while Ro was hurt and Eugene was missin’, could I?”

“Rosita told us where she stashed him,” Daryl explained. 

“Stashed him?” you asked, confused. 

“Not a lot of information right now, but we got an idea of where he is,” Daryl said and then his shoulders dropped a bit. “It’s damn good to see ya,” he said and you reached out and gripped his shoulder. 

“I missed you too,” you said and he smiled. It was then that you noticed another member of your family had arrived at Hilltop as well. “Give me a second, yeah?”

“We’re leavin’ in a bit,” Daryl said and you nodded, walking past him and over to a woman with long white hair. 

“Your Majesty,” you greeted and Carol looked up at you and her face split into a grin. 

“Oh my god,” she said as she walked to you and gave you a big hug. “How are you?”

“Still kickin’,” you said and she rolled her eyes. You spoke to Carol for a while before Jesus exited Barrington House with an annoyed Tara following him. Jesus was dressed for battle and Tara was not thrilled about it. 

You waited until Tara had stormed off before approaching Jesus, your arms crossed. 

“You know,” you began, “pissing her off is never a good idea.” 

“You...,” Jesus said as he turned to face you before his face split into a grin. “My God, I’ve missed you!” He didn’t hesitate to bring you in for a hug. You both relaxed in each other’s arms and it just felt right to be with him again. You knew it was your fault that you hadn’t gone to see him.

Just because Michonne had prevented others from going into Alexandria, that didn’t mean you couldn’t go and see the others. Seeing Daryl at Hilltop with Jesus and Tara began to take you back to the war and then your thoughts were being tugged back to Alexandria, back to him. 

You couldn’t even think about what would happen if Daryl found out that you were getting cozy with his previous jailer. A part of you worried that he would be angry, but there was another side of you who thought that he would just not comment on it at all. Whenever Daryl was quiet around his family, you knew he was more than angry. 

When Jesus let go of you, you noticed the blade on his belt. “That’s nice,” you complimented and he unsheathed it to show you. 

“Been using her more and more lately,” he said proudly. 

“I’ve been thinking of getting one myself,” you said and he raised a brow. 

“Well, when you do, let me be the first to spar with you,” he offered. 

“You got it,” you said with a smile.

“Hey!” Daryl called, “Are we goin’ or what? Ya can catch up later!” With a roll of his eyes, Jesus mounted a nearby horse and offered you his hand. 

“Just like old times?” he asked and with a laugh, you joined him on the saddle and he took off after Daryl who was revving his bike. Just as you rode through the gates, you only hoped that you would be able to find Eugene in time.

No Reply - James Justin & Jude Bellingham

A/N: dedicated to my loveliest @trentalexanders <3 the person who forced me out of my forever writing hiatus as I’m forever and always #TeamJJ while it’s a rather personalised piece, I kept the person described unnamed so anyone else who randomly finds and reads this can enjoy it.

James didn't know what to expect when he introduced one of his closest friends to his teammates but he surely wasn't expecting the way it was going right now. Because suddenly it was his friend Jude messaging about how well he was getting along with the "cute sport psychologist student from last week" and how they've been texting whenever both were free.

"I can't wait until I'm back in England and we get to hang out again."

James didn't even dare to think of it but he was sure the L word would be heard of him the next time. Maybe not the big one but the way Jude was talking about her made him sure the mild version was coming out of his mouth soon.

Truth is that James had no reason to feel the way he does, he's been knowing you since his academy days in Luton and never did he consider thinking of her more than a friend. Not even when they had some non serious dates here and there but it felt like that Jude had awakened feelings in him he wasn't aware of possessing.

Just imagining her and Jude doing something as a couple made him feel sick in his stomach.

Funnily enough, James was planning to catch up with her again ever since she met Jude for the first time. While they were still both located in the Midlands, it was hard for them to still meet up frequently. Playing for a Premier League club was definitely more time-consuming and she was always busy with her studies as well which left both with limited free time.

When he had arrived at their usual cafe, she was already saving a table for them and as usual deep in her studies with her favourite order beside her. Her biggest dream was to work in the footballing industry hence why she took her studies so seriously and he always jokingly mentions that she can always test her knowledge with his injuries. While James had no idea what exactly she was doing all the time, he knew she was always working hard to be the best version of herself. After all, they both promised each other to aim for the top always.

As soon as he took a seat across from her, she finally noticed his presence and immediately beamed a smile towards him.

"Long time no see, JJ! Leicester are really keeping you busy, huh?" They reached out to each other so they could greet them properly by giving a short hug.

"Hey, it's not me who is refusing free match tickets all the time! Do you even know how many would kill to be in your position?? Wearing a football kit with my name on it and support the team I play in sounds way more fun than spending your evenings in the dusty library" He jokingly told her which she only answered with a not so serious eye roll.

"Duuuuh, you act like I'd do that voluntarily! If I could, I would shamelessly take all your free tickets and watch every match, you know that!"

It felt good to have a proper conversation with her again after such a long time. She was always rambling about how university life was and updated him about their mutual friends outside of football. Nonetheless, football was always a topic they could talk about as she was just as passionate about it as he was. After all, they were the bestest of friends.

Their conversation was interrupted by her suddenly getting a long text message which kept her eyes hooked on her phone. James wasn't sure what he should do at this moment as he had a suspicion about who could it be so he just awkwardly switched between a few social media apps on his phone to pretend he was checking out his messages as well.

"By the way, Jude just invited me to come to see a match of him." She suddenly mentioned to him which made him startle for a short moment.

"What do you mean? The U21 one? Thought it was already clear when I invited you." He said with the hope that it wasn't what he was thinking.

"Nooo, like he invited me to see a match at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund. He said he didn't really explore his new home town yet but he would love to do it with me! Isn't that cool?!" Her eyes lightened up when she mentioned how well they were getting along and just as she took his silent nod as an approval to continue talking, she told him the same thing he had already heard from Jude.

James wasn't sure how to react to all of that. While he hadn't asked the directly how she felt about him, it was clear that she had grown a certain attraction towards Jude and he was feeling the same. Of course James only wanted the best for his friends but a selfish part of him didn't want to accept it. That after all these years, the person who has always been by his side, was about to be taken away by someone else. Feelings that he had never realised he has for her were about to become useless.

"Okay, but are you sure that's a good idea? Like don't you think you are rushing things? I mean you've only just met and you already wanna take a flight for him to another country?" He told her while nervously playing with the spoon in his cup.

Her expression darkened at his remark as it wasn't what she was expecting him to say.

"What do you mean? Jude is your friend, of course I can trust him! Or... are you hiding something from me about him?! You told me he's one of the nicest guys you have ever met!"

"Well, it's true! It's just that I care a lot about you and I just don't want you to regret anything if things don't work out the way you want." Without looking at her, he bid on his lips as he wasn't sure himself what he was expecting with voicing his doubts. In the end, it was her decision alone and she seemed pretty convinced to go.

"James. You can't lie to me. Tell me what you are hiding from me." Her voice sounded serious and he hadn't heard her addressing him with his actual name for a long time now. She only did that when they were talking about a serious topic and he just knew that he had to confess what he has been feeling for the past weeks now.

"I'm sorry. I know it's my fault and Jude has nothing to do with this. But I liked you first."

1-20 for Steele 21-45 for Cy

Ooookay... I’m going to try this again & hope tumblr doesn’t close it out halfway through...

Steele

1. Who’s the one who’s reckless and always getting into trouble while the other gotta pull em out

You’d think it’s Steele who’s the troublemaker but nope! He’s usually the one who swoops in to save the day (was going to say he’s good at doing the pulling out but... that’s obviously not true seeing as they have all these kids lmao)

2. Who’s the one to send the other “I love my gf/bf” memes

Easton but they both prefer the funny ones over the sappy ones

3. Who’s the one who listens to a music genre the other doesn’t like and how does the other react

Steele has to listen to a lot of different things for work so it’s usually Easton expressing his distaste with groaning & complaining lol

4. Which one spoils the other more and do they ever get competitive to show the other more love

They do compete a bit but Steele is the one who really loves to do the spoiling. Easton spoils him too sometimes but Steele tries hard to be king there

5. How many years did it take to get married or was it just not for them

Years? Ha! Less than a year. Once they fell, it all happened pretty fast from there. Once you know, you know!

6. What was their wedding like

Very small & simple. Only their closest family & best friends. Easton was already pregnant with TJ & being married was all that mattered to them

7. Is their friends/family supportive

Very! They all adore each other & have grown close. Easton’s mom Jude actually has a group text with Archer & Vince because they legit talk all the damn time lol

8. How does one comfort the other when the other is in distress/having a panic attack/crying

They’re both very similar in that they are calm & reassuring. They will hold the other one & sit with them for as long as they need

9. Which one dissociates

Neither very often but both have, especially Easton. Both have trauma from their childhood which lends to this

10. Which one stares at the other’s booty like “damn” and how does the other react when catching them

Steele always stares & usually makes it known that he likes what he sees. Easton will roll his eyes & laugh. If Steele’s real lucky, he’ll get a booty shake or a wiggle out of it

11. When they live together what kinda place do they live in? What does their home look like?

They do live together. Easton moved into Steele’s house a few months into dating. As their family expanded, they did eventually buy a new house together. It’s a decent sized family home with a pool & lots of land because Easton always says that he wants goats one day! Plus it’s lots is space for the kids & the dogs

12. What do their dates look like

They don’t happen often so they tend to be on the romantic side. A nice dinner, maybe a quiet walk to drive. Then home to snuggle & well... ya know... not have to stay so quiet ;)

13. How does each act when getting drunk

Steele is a recovering addict & lives a sober life. Easton is very supportive of this & does as well for the most part. On the very very rare occasion that Easton gets drunk, he’s actually pretty fun lmao. Steele finds him adorable & funny... until he starts throwing up 😂 He’s also more adventurous & has a certain tattoo to prove it

14. Which one rolls over in the morning to wake up the other one just to give kiss them

Typically Steele since he gets up first. He tries to wake up before the kids to start some coffee then get to Oli before Easton wake up so he can let him sleep a little.

15. Have they saved each other’s lives before

Yes! Easton was in a really dark place when they first met & was trying to find himself. He was on the verge of doing something about it. Steele will openly admit that he has Easton to thank for his sobriety. His family agrees, especially Tobias who found his son after an overdose more than once. Easton showed him what happiness was & gave him a reason to live

16. Does one have an interest the other think is weird but wants to listen to it regardless

Not really. Easton did find it a little weird & funny when he found out that Steele was into building robots since he usually hides his need side well

17. Which one uses cropped hentai as reaction images

Neither really but I could see Easton doing it to be funny

18. Does one of them kinkshame the other

Never! They’re into the same things & love enjoying them together ;)

19. Is one of them self conscious about their body? If so how does the other comfort them

Easton. Steele makes sure to tell him that he’s beautiful & show how attracted to him he is. Steele will never not see Easton as the most gorgeous man on the planet

20. Say they were cuddling on the bed while listening to record player playing the background. Which song is playing?

Dizzy on the Comedown

Cyrus

21. What is their song? Like the song that gives them overwhelming feelings?

Chasing Cars

22. What song do they listen to while going on a joyride

Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked

23. What kinda joyrides do they go on? Relaxing ones or wild ones?

Depends on what’s going on really. Usually relaxing because Mateo will be stressed from work & Cy’s moods aren’t good.

24. Where would they vacation for a honeymoon

They’re beach goers & would want to go somewhere super sexy & romantic. They haven’t started planning their wedding & honeymoon yet but I’m thinking Hawaii, Tahiti or Santorini

25. Do people ever get annoyed of their pda

Yeah a little lol. They have no shame & Cy is super clingy

26. Would they live in the city or the country

Between those two options, the city. But they’d rather live on a beach

27. Which ones the red which ones the blue

I... feel like there’s something to this question that I’m missing & just don’t get lmao. Uhh... Cy - red, Mateo - blue

28. Are either of them mentally ill, if so how do they help one another cope

Cy has very bad anxiety & depression. Mateo had learned how to calm him down. Typically he’s very calm & gentle with him but sometimes he’ll tell him sternly not to say negative things about himself. Because Cyrus is so submissive, that works at times when nothing else will.

29. Does one have a spot on them where they would melt when the other kisses them there

Cyrus does, on the back of his neck

30. Do they dance together

Yep!

31. Do they sing together

Yes, usually when they’re being goofy

32. Which one is better at cooking than the other and makes most the dinners

Mateo is probably better at cooking (at least in Cy’s opinion) but Cy cooks most of the meals since Mateo works all day

34. Are they a reckless couple or safe

Depends on the context lol. They’re pretty safe I think

35. What be they kinks and do they try each other’s kinks

They are both always down to try something new in the bedroom... or out of it ;) I mentioned Cy is very submissive with Mateo & that’s also very true in intimate moments. They’re into some bdsm, being bound, pain, spanking, choking, etc. Cyrus also gets some thrills out of being naughty in public.

36. What would their valentines gifts be to each other

They tend to give really practical gifts. This year Cy gave Teo a new Apple Watch & Teo gave him some a bunch of new art supplies including some charcoal pencils that Cy likes to sketch with. Mateo will sometimes plan something really sexy for them too.

37. Do they get into fights often? If so what do they fight over and how do they make up?

No, they don’t fight very often at all. It’s usually the boring, typical relationship/cohabitation kind of stuff lol. Mateo will go drive around & Cy will call Carlin. They’ll both cool down then they’ll talk it out.

38. Which ones top, bottom, verse

Typically Teo - top, Cy - bottom. That’s mostly because of their overall dom/sub dynamic but they’re both technically verse

39. What kinda sex they be having (gentle rough whatever)

Usually rough. They’ll occasionally have that sweet, slow lovemaking type sex but they enjoy it kinda rough, especially Cyrus

40. Who would fight in honor for the other if someone would insult them

Easy - Mateo. He wouldn’t even hesitate. If someone was insulting or mean to Cyrus in front of him, his good boy demeanor would be good when he snapped & did something about it

41. Which one has a favorite movie that they have the other watch with them again and again

Cyrus! He’s a huge movie buff. His favorite is Back to the Future lol

42. How would one react if the other was to die

Either one of them would absolute lose it. They’d both shut down. Cy would question if he could go on. Mateo would probably withdraw & not talk to anyone about it. They’d both only keep going because of Maverick

43. Who dies first

Don’t do this to me 😭😭😭 I have no idea. I’m going to say Cy just because I only think that Mateo would handle it a tiny bit better

44. Do they want kids

Yes! They have one now, a baby son named Maverick. They do want more one day but Cy’s scared they may not since it’s not easy for him to

45. How would they spend their last moments together

Cyrus would be sobbing uncontrollably. Mateo would be reassuring him. They’d both be holding each other tight. It would be a mess & honestly... so the fuck would I!!

Thanks for asking!! I love our boys 💖💖💖

SIBLINGS I DESPERATELY WANT - FEMALES

the back stories are very specific but fc’s are up for debate, i guess. 

HADLEE QUINN TW: SEXUAL ABUSE 

21 or 22  OCCUPATION/STUDYING: up to you. SEXUALITY: up to you.

hadlee and brielle always had a rocky relationship. yes, brielle was the child of teen parents but they had hadlee four years younger at just 13/14. she’s gotten used to growing up with the bare minimum and still idolises her parents.  when brielle opened up about her dad, she refused to believe her. she idolises their parents and thought brielle was just attention seeking as usual. this fractured their relationship and bond even more.  now that brielle has moved out, she is starting to experience some of the stuff that her younger sister did. she’s just too proud/afraid to admit it because she feels like if she pushes away her parents, she’ll lose everything. personality: creative, individual, a little quirky at times, friendly but also quite emotionally detached and distant. she always wanted that picture perfect life in high school but was also sympathetic to the fact that her parents were poor and doing their best.

NATES SISTERS: THIS FAMILY IS SO PRECIOUS OMG.

LILIANNA ‘LILLIE’ HARWOOD

27  - 6TH MARCH, PISCES  OCCUPATION/STUDYING: it’s your choice SEXUALITY: asexual   lilianna is the oldest of the harwood siblings and she’s that cool older sibling that the other sisters so desperately wanted to be. she’s the trend-setter of the family and it’s pretty clear to see that taylor, posie, nate and evie have adopted personality traits of hers. she spent her teen years having to fight them off and lock her door to stop them from pestering her.  other than being witty and sarcastic, lilianna was born an over-achiever. she was the only one out of her siblings to attend a private school outside of the springs because she got the grade for a good scholarship. she then set her sights on cambridge for university to study medicine. nobody knows why, but she would put insane amounts of pressure on herself to be a good role-model for the others and was almost like a third parent.  in her second year at cambridge, she eventually burnt out and her mental health broke down. she couldn’t help but feel like she’d spent her early and mid-twenties working, stressing and over-achieving and she missed out on all of the messiness that comes with it.  a secret of hers is that despite being open about her sexuality since she was around 18, she’s never had a boyfriend or girlfriend. it’s just never happened for her and now she’s seeing her younger siblings date, she’s starting to feel pressured to find somebody. however, she feels like in such a sex-positive generation, it’ll be hard for her to find somebody who accepts her for who she is. she still lives at home by choice and nate’s parents are eager to normalise that young adults/twenty-somethings CAN still live at home. with lilianna’s anxiety still pretty rocky, they’d prefer it that way anyway.

TAYLOR HARWOOD 

26 - 21ST APRIL, TAURUS  OCCUPATION/STUDYING: acting and modelling  SEXUALITY: heterosexual 

if lilianna is the cool, trend-setting older sister then taylor is the *spice* in the family that her other siblings could sometimes do without. it shouldn’t be mistaken; ALL of the harwood siblings love each other and they’re probably as close as families come, but from the moment she was born, taylor had it clear that she was the star. think kim kardashian vs. her sisters; she’s the stand-out and loves to have all eyes on her. she’d be the one signing up for her school’s productions, forcing the others to put on shows for their parents and constantly stealing lilianna’s clothes to sneak out of the house in.  taylor was in stage school from a very young age and during her first year in high school, her mother agreed to fly out to los angeles with her and her agent to audition for different productions; this is where she landed vicotrious. everybody was excited for her and taylor was sure she’d got her big break. as everybody knows, victorious was a huge success and she became a household name at a very young age.  taylor dropped out of school and was schooled on set while she worked. their mother spent most of her time in los angeles while the other siblings stayed home with their dad. in what would have been taylor’s last year of high school, victrious was cancelled and ended. since then, it’s been a struggle to get any work and she eventually moved back home. this was a hard transition for taylor. she felt as if she was washed up at 18 and had no idea what she wanted to do with her life. she went back to school for her final year but was severely bullied by jealous girls and people who were eager to see her downfall from the start. one girl even rewarded her the “biggest has-been” award which completely humiliated her at her graduation after party. unlike lilianna though, rather than retreating and taking some time for herself, she threw herself into more smaller projects. she has a determination to make it and when she got into st judes, it felt like a new chapter for her. she’s already moved out and has her own apartment downtown but happily comes home to see her siblings as much as she can. her life’s goal is to make sure that nobody ever forgets taylor harwood.

POSIE HARWOOD 

25 - 5th AUGUST, LEO  OCCUPTATION: model SEXUALITY: heterosexual 

posie was named after her grandmother; josephine ‘posie’ harwood. compared to her other siblings - nate included - she’s always been more laidback. her parents (and lilianna) more or less dragged her through school kicking and screaming. she rarely had motivation to do anything and just wanted an easy life. more or less the complete opposite of lilianna and taylor.  since posie grew up under two huge personalities with big ambitions, she definitely got to fly under the radar a lot and neglected typical responsibilities you have to remember when you grow up. for example, she got away with dropping ice-skating when all of her siblings were made to stay in extra curricular activities, her grades were never as good as her sisters and all in all, she wore the ‘family disappointment’ badge with pride. she’s quite content with riding their coat-tails for as long as she can.  although lazy, posie is also extremely social and loves meeting people and having fun. she had the most typical teenage years with fake i.d.’s, a string of good for nothing boyfriend’s and riding on temporary highs. her siblings know her as soft and loving, but to people outside the family, she definitely has the label of being the more argumentative one.  when taylor was being picked on in school, it was posie who put things to rest by punching the girl in the face. when a boy broke evie’s heart, it’d be posie to serve him revenge. on top of that, she’s aware that she’s beautiful and her favourite thing to do is string people along, get what she needs from them and then move on to the next best thing.

EVELYN ‘EVIE’ HARWOOD  TW: GROOMING

18 - JANUARY 4TH, CAPRICORN  OCCUPATION: you pick.  SEXUALITY: you pick.

evie is the youngest of the family and adores every single one of her siblings, although by default she’s probably closest to posie and nate. like most little sisters, she’s got a bit of each sibling in her.  but alongside this, she’s also struggled to find her own identity and would often cling to the others in order to feel included and like she had direction in life. evie struggles with dyslexia - a common learning disability - and never found school easy. she’d always had tutoring and that was ramped up when it came to her exams. all of her siblings also pitched in to help her; lillianna with science, posie with english and nate with maths...taylor was a little too busy, but offered the moral support. she passed her exams and she still has it down as one of the best days of her life because she definitely thought she’d be the first one in the family to fail.  after seeing how much fun posie and nate were having at st judes, she decided to try her luck and was even more surprised when she was accepted there too. for the first time in her life, it felt like she was getting somewhere on her own and she was.  her first year at the school has been quiet and she’s struggled a little to form friendships without the guidance of her older siblings. the bigger personalities have definitely overwhelmed her but she’s slowly finding her feet. one person who has particularly been a good support system for her has been her tutor, who helps her manage her dyslexia when lectures and assignments come around. he’s always boosting her up and has at times let her get a better grade than she would’ve got by editing her assignments for her. there have been a few times where she’s been invited to his home; usually with a study group but the last few times have been just her.  she’s starting to feel slightly uncomfortable around him. especially since he’s been making the work harder so that she needs to rely on him more; he also sent her a christmas present this year in the form of a revealing dress and jewellery for her ‘christmas party’..which she isnt sure is fully appropriate.  while she doesn’t feel like she can open up and (quite frankly) is afraid to, it’s made her cling to her other siblings more than before.

One Chance part 2

Jurdan College Au - masterlist

*I hope you guys enjoy this. I am not the best but I tried. Feel free to tell me what you would like to see and any advice or tips. Thanks, enjoy!!*

Summary: Jude is just an average college girl at Elfhame University with her twin sister Taryn. She is trying to learn the ways of life with tons of school piled upon her, but when she sees a certain person that she met some time ago, her world gets shook in too many ways. 

Jude is beyond livid for the fifteen minute homeroom class which they have to go for attendance. The bomb tries to talk to her, but Jude just ignores her, well, really she is deep in thought of how she can kill Cardan. So when the professor Noggle says dismissed, Jude jumps up from her seat but before she can leave a strong hand grips her shoulder and turns her around. By God if this is Cardan I’m going to smack him. 

She turns around, sees his pretty face and smacks it hard. She could hear the remaining classmates in the room take a deep breath of air. She surprised herself with how hard she could hit when she becomes angry. Cardan put a wicked smile on his face as he said,”Jude, Jude, Jude, my sweet Jude, did you miss me?” This was obviously said in his sarcastic tone of voice.  

Jude rolled her eyes,”Yeah, you wish.” She walked out of the class room and went to her other class which thank God, was without Cardan. The roach tapped Jude on the shoulder once she sat down and asked,”Is everything ok?”

“Why is he here? I can’t do college with him here. Heck, I barely survived high school with him.” The anger in her voice disappearing, replaced with a little bit of worry.

“Remember Jude, we are always here for you” he said while placing a hand on her shoulder and looking at Bomb and Ghost. Jude just nodded. Next Jude had a break from classes and she sat outside the university until her friends were done with their class so they could go get lunch together. And so coincidentally, Cardan had a break too. They didn’t have the same classes but they had the same break time, wonderful. He finds Jude on her phone, sitting on a bench. Jude quickly looks up, sees who it is and says,”Nope, nope, I am not sitting here wasting my time talking to you.” She begins to get up to walk away. 

Cardan puts his hand over his heart and scrunches up his face acting like the words sting. “Jude, how many times do I have to apologize? I went too far, I get it. You can stop avoiding me now.”

She turns around, face red with anger,” No Cardan, I can’t stop avoiding you. What you did was unforgivable. Do you know what people told me for the rest of the year? That I was worth just as much as the dirt on the bottom of their shoes. And you know what? I started to believe it.” She was basically shouting at this point. She didn’t mean to let that last bit fall out of her mouth. She didn’t want to seem vulnerable in front of Cardan.

“Jude-” but it was too late. Jude had already walked away before he could say anything else. Well, it wasn’t like he knew what to say either. 

She went and sat at the other end of the parking lot hoping no one would see her. She just wanted to scrunch in a corner and never come out again. She wanted to go back to before her parents died. She wanted to go back to when life was good, and fun. As she sat here with her thoughts bundled inside her head, she sees Taryn and Locke walk out the door. Please don’t see me. Please don’t. Too bad. Taryn saw her. Taryn with a happy face, and Locke with an amused face, comes up to her. Taryn quickly lost her happy expression and replaced it with a worried one when she could physically see the anxiousness of Jude. 

“Jude, what's wrong?” Taryn asked, worried.

Jude rubbed her face and started to get up. “Nothing you can fix.” She hated how resentful the words came out. 

Because Locke always has to make his presence known he spoke up,”Man, I wonder if this has anything to do with Cardan.” Spoken sarcastically. 

Jude, through gritted teeth,”I wonder if it does, Locke, it would be nice if you would let me know.” Jude walked away knowing that any moment her friends would come rescue her from the trap of everyone else. 

   Not much longer later, Jude meets her friends and they get into the bomb's car, and goes to a little diner called Underseas diner. Everybody talked at the table except Jude. Ghost knew something was up so he asked her, “Hey Jude, did anything happen while we were gone?”

“No, nothing worth telling.” 

“Jude, we are your friends. You can tell us anything.”

“I am just thinking.” 

The Bomb pipes in,”Sure, It’s ok boys, i’ll get it out of her later.” Bomb then continues to wink at Ghost and Roach. They laugh as Jude rolls her eyes and smiles.

They all ate together and celebrated their first day of college. Unfortunately, Jude had one more class she had to attend. It was her least favorite, it was literature. She hated anything with paper and reading but oh well, there’s college for ya. 

She was running a little behind so when she got to class, there was only one seat left. It was by the one person she was trying to avoid. It felt like the universe was trying to pull them together and she didn’t understand why. She groaned inwardly and went and sat down. She sat as close to the side of her chair away from Cardan as she possibly could. 

She was thankful though because this time he didn’t try to talk to her. She would just periodically see him look over. He also kept on hitting his pen on the desk, Jude guessed it was out of boredom or it was a nervous tick. Do I make him nervous? Jude thought. 

When they dismissed the class, she was out of there before the professor could even finish the sentence. She raced back to her dorm. Her dorm felt almost like a security blanket. A safe place to hide. 

She changed into some comfortable clothes, and sat down on her bed. She ate some mac and cheese and watched some netflix. Then she heard her phone buzz. It was Vivi. 

She said flatly “Hello.”

“Umm, Hi I wanted to see how your first day was?” Vivi said hesitantly.

“Oh Vivi, it was great.” 

“What’s wrong? Did something embarrassing happen? Don’t tell me you started your period and it got all over her bottoms in front of everyone?”

“Uhh no, Vivi, that didn’t happen. Cardan decided he needed to join college. I walk in homeroom, and there he sits, in all his glory.”

“Ohhhh Nooooo” 

“Yep, I smacked him in the face in front of a bunch of people.” 

“Oh wow, Jude.” Vivi paused. “I swear, one day you're going to end up with him. Your biggest enemy is going to become your best friend.” 

Jude was quiet for a moment and then said,” I got to go Vivi, someone is calling in.”

She heard Vivi say, “sure” right before she hung up. 

There is no possible way Jude could ever think about Cardan being the one for her. Just thinking of all the stuff he did. The bullying scarred her. She at least hopes Vivi was just joking because if she wasn’t, and she is being literal, then she might be right because when is Vivi ever wrong? 

Day two of school and Jude was not prepared for it. She gets up and ready, she forgets breakfast because, well, is that really important? When she walks in the grand wooden doors people are giving her weird sneers and smirks. She thought maybe something weird had happened before she got there. But, all that changed once she knew what her locker had on it. It is senior year of highschool all over again, she thought. 

Someone had taken a video of her slapping Cardan, everyone probably knew that reunion was worth looking at. They took screenshots of the video at different points of view. She didn’t even realize her peers had their phones out because she was so angry at Cardan. They had put notes on her locker saying “Maybe kissing Cardan would make him want you. Try that next time.” She was mad. She looked around and saw that a crowd was enclosing her, and people were laughing. But she wasn’t going to give them the last laugh. 

She looked around looking for one particular face. And boom, right there leaning against the other lockers, with the biggest smile he could muster was Cardan. She pulled him to the middle and said very loudly, “Ok, ok, if this is what you guys are dying to see then i’ll make it happen.” She grabbed Cardans chin, and brought his lips to her mouth. Cardan’s back hit the lockers with a thud. It was a hard and deep kiss. Like almost something they both needed, but would never admit. Jude broke it off abruptly, surprised. Not surprised that Cardan didn’t back away, or make some witty remark, but because she was feeling something that she couldn’t place.

She quickly turned to her silenced audience, and said with a big mask of a smile on her lips,”Happy?” and she walked right back out of those big grand doors. On her way out, she passed Bomb with her mouth hung open, the Ghost and Roach had wide eyes plastered on to their faces, and Taryn with a frown and Locke with a smirk of enjoyment. Jude was walking back to her dorm and the one thing she thought about was that it was only the second day and she would already miss a class. And, maybe how sweet that kiss was but she quickly shook her head to get that thought out immediately. 

Jude went back to her dorm, and bawled. She was humiliated, again. She couldn't believe she didn’t see the trap coming. She kept on wondering, Was this Cardan’s doing? Did he have this ultimate plan? Little did she know, she would soon find out. She did the only thing she knew to do. She called Vivi. 

“Hello” Vivi greeted.

“Vivi, it is senior year all over again.”

“Woah, Jude, what’s wrong?” 

Jude told her the rundown of what had happened. 

“Jude, walk your butt back into your next class and show them who’s boss. Don’t show them that their words hurt you because that will only want to make them hurt you more,”

Through the sniffles,” Ok I will. Love you, bye.”

Vivi always knew the right words to say. She was, if not more, just as strong headed as Jude was. Vivi became the closest thing to a role model Jude would ever have. 

Before she knew it, it was 1:30. Her next class started at 2. She debated on going because Cardan was in it, but then she thought that she is not letting everybody win, she will walk in there with confidence she didn’t know she had. 

She walked in the classroom and everybody looked at her. By now, everybody knew because rumors spread like lightning. She looked in the back and found a wide pair of black eyes looking at her gaze. She sat down with a friend she met yesterday in this class. Her name is Sophie. Sophie gave her a small smile, and Jude gave the same back. 

Class was over rather quickly, and Jude decided to be the last one out this time. She let everyone go, keeping her head low. She went to get up to leave once the room was cleared out, but realized quickly that one other person lingered behind. In the silent room, you could hear Jude’s stomach growl so Cardan said hesitantly,”Jude, would you like to get something to eat with me?”

     Jude retorted back defiantly while she got her bag,”Isn’t there like five hundred other girls here you rather ask?” 

“No, there isn’t.” He said quite confidently which drew Jude back a little bit, but still, she did the Jude thing -

Jude just rolled her eyes and started walking away.

“Jude -wait, I’ll buy it. Just come. Please.” 

She stopped dead in her tracks. She heard a “please” come out of Cardan Greenbriars millionaire mouth. She turned around slowly, saying, “Ok, only because I’m not paying, and I’m really hungry.” He nods his head and puts a small grin on his face that made Jude almost pity him until she remembers that she doesn’t know his motive.

“I didn’t even sleep with him!” Okay. That wasn’t accurate. Didi hadn’t sleep with Xander when he was still seeing Leah. He was one of her best friends (admittedly with great benefits), but that was a line she wouldn’t cross, and he respected that. But she definitely had slept with him other times.

“Even if I did believe you, it doesn’t matter. Your reputation is a trash fire, and as your agent, I can’t let that happen.”

Didi rolled her eyes. “It’s not like it’ll even matter. I’m still gonna get casted.”

“For the same character. Every time. I would know, I’m the one you whine to,” Jared retorted. Her agent had a point. She did get cast mostly as the spoiled brat type, and she really did hate it. Yeah, she pulled it off perfectly, but she could do other roles perfectly, too. She felt like she’d never leave the London Tipton role, though. Sadly, Jared was right about that.

“Whatever. I still don’t see why I have to pretend to date someone just for publicity’s sake. Plenty of people sleep with other people all the time! What’s the big deal?”

Jared sighed. He didn’t exactly like Didi that much, but at least the feeling was mutual.

“Leah Cavan is the country’s favorite singer. She’s the next Taylor Swift, and currently, you’re the 2014 Katy Perry. The fact that she said you’re the one Xander cheated on her with—“

“I wasn’t.”

“Means that the world blames you for their breakup. If you really are innocent—“

“I am!”

“Then you need to play by my rules. Give yourself an alibi. Saying you and JJ from Arsenic have been secretly dating for months will save your reputation and hopefully my job.”

Wait.

Wait.

No.

No!

Didi refused to accept this. JJ? From Arsenic? She hated his guts! And he hated her! They’d made that all too clear in their Twitter subtweet wars. Everyone knew they hated each other.

“No.” She wouldn’t do this. Even if her reputation was a trash fire like Jared said—a point she refused to agree with—nobody would believe that she and freaking Jude Jackson aka JJ were secretly in love.

“Yes,” Jared told her, voice already tired. For being only 30 years old, the dude sounded way too tired all the time. Probably ‘cause he always was chugging coffee.

“No one will believe it, Jared,” Didi whined. Maybe that wasn’t the most mature thing, but she wasn’t going to agree to this! No way. Not JJ. Maybe she’d agree to fake dating someone else, as long as they were hot, but JJ? They’d only met briefly in person a few times, but each time had ended disastrously. Like when he bumped into her and made her spill her drink all over her one of a kind Dolce and Gabbana dress and hadn’t even noticed! Sure, she was never gonna wear it again—that would be tacky—but he could have at least apologized for ruining her night! And that was the lesser offense. Didi didn’t want to get into the other time she met him. It hadn’t been pretty.

“They already do,” Jared smirked.

If only throttling her manager wouldn’t land her in even more trouble. Didi wasn’t sure what he’d done, but she didn’t trust him. Even if he was great at getting her better roles and saving her reputation. She didn’t trust him, and she hated his methods.

“What do you mean?” Didi hissed.

His smirk grew. The audacity.

“A third of your fans have been following your and JJ’s supposed relationship for the last year, ever since Arsenic first went big and you two met. So now we’re making it real.” She opened her mouth, but Jared kept talking. “You’re the one who planted the seeds, Divina. Don’t argue with me when you’re the one who got us into this mess.”

She didn’t even sleep with Xander that time!

“I didn’t get us into this mess! Leah effing Cavan did!”

Jared stared at her tiredly. Ugh. She’d wear him down. She’d have to.

“Yeah, we’ll Leah isn’t my client, and it’s not my job to make sure the world doesn’t hate her. So shut up and act like you’re in love. It’s just another role, Didi. Maybe it’ll get you a role you won’t whine about.” He rolled his eyes, and Didi hoped his mother was rolling over in her grave in anger at her son’s behavior. Only she was pretty sure his mom wasn’t actually dead.

Jared pressed a button on his landline. “Jacob? Send JJ and his manager in.”

Didi sank lower in her seat. Why was the world putting her through this? Why?

The door opened moments later, and some young guy entered in front of the devil himself. He even had red hair. Could it be more accurate?

Didi stared ahead as JJ entered, but she could feel his (rather impressive) (also annoyingly sexy, based on past experiences) glare focused on her.

“No.” His tone was harsh. Didi knew he didn’t like her, but did he have to be so rude to her face? This was what Twitter and interviews were for.

“I’m not doing this, Jake,” JJ argued. Jacob/Jake gestured for JJ to take the seat next to her. Luckily for everyone’s lives and general health, he took the seat closest to the door instead.

Jared and Jake sighed in unison.

“Listen, you two are doing this. Arsenic’s announcing a new album next month, and you, Didi, need a positive image. Which means a stable, public relationship.”

Didi scoffed. Who needed stability in love? Totally overrated. Love was totally overrated. She didn’t get why Xander always fell under Leah’s spell.

But it was good to hear that one of her favorite bands was going to release an album soon. That was definitely good news. She’d just never tell anyone that.

Especially not JJ.

“I’m not doing this. Not with him,” Didi said as indignantly as ever.

“Thanks for the love,” JJ snarked in return. She turned her glare on him, matching his with every bit of fierceness she could muster. Which was a lot.

“Yes, you are, Divina. For the next seven months, you two are contractually tied to be publicly dating. So don’t screw it up, and Didi, don’t screw other people so obviously. I know you’re not gonna keep Xander out of your pants, but at least keep it on the down low.”

Oh, Didi was going to absolutely murder Jared. Throttling would no longer be sufficient.

“Xander and I aren’t like that.” Yeah, they hooked up for fun, but they were still friends. Sometimes with benefits, but still friends.

Jared gave her a pointed look before handing over a wad of papers. “Read these, sign these. You have the rest of the business day. Now shop.”

It took Didi half an hour to get through the contract. She was a fast reader and fluent in legalese thanks to her many movie contracts. That, and she was friends with Xander and often helped him when he started bending/breaking the rules. By the time Didi went back to Jared’s office, she was shocked to find JJ leaving. She was the fast reader here. Did he have a question or something? Why didn’t he just call?

“Finished already?” she asked. JJ nodded with a glare.

“So you do have a brain. Huh.” Didi kept walking, but she stopped when JJ spoke again.

“I was a CPA before the band went big.”

Oh. That actually made sense. But she couldn’t imagine him wearing a stuffy suit and tie. The image made her smile, and Didi was very glad he couldn’t see. But the idea of JJ in a suit was freaking hilarious.

“Hmph,” she muttered, not deigning you reply any further to his defense. It was time to sell her soul and date the devil.

Gen 4.1 Planning

Libi: Okay, so my basic premise for who Libi is going to be at her core, WOO; I was thinking about how we said that she is Tess' second (lowkey third but I'll let you live gal) chance at 'getting it right' and raising a child well, which, OBVIOUSLY, she's never told or anything but there's an innate pressure in that that you'd know on some level, likewise her mum AND dad died so everyone would be quick with those comparisons always, this family and Liam's mum when that contact is made because her daughter died as well as; Then that made me think of the pressure Ro felt because you know, bad shit happened to Bea (Edie and Liam in this case) and then she got saved by McVickers and felt like she owed everyone to be great and do great things; so my vibe is that BUT COMING FROM A LESS SELFISH, WEIRD, PERFECTIONISM ANGLE soz not soz Ro, we know what you did; I see her being better behaved as she grows up, far more than her parents obviously but lowkey better behaved than any of the mcvickers or cali kids ever were because she thinks everyone deserves that, her not causing any more problems, but again UNLIKE Ro, she wouldn't be different to a degree of not fitting in because she'd make a massive effort to be there for everyone and every event, be likeable and get along with as much of the fam as possible, obviously some of that is natural charm but it's also putting in the time ahem Rosaline; like, she's a people pleaser, to a fault, and all she cares about is making everyone else, Tess, Fearghal, Ali, JJ etc etc, happy and making sure she's being what she thinks they want her to be/need her to be, and like that is what makes her happy because she is doing it out of love and respect not obligation but she doesn't know she's doing it, you know? Again, it's innate, how she is, but that's where the arc can come in, in realising that she goes with what makes everyone else happy, is who they need, but what does SHE want herself, and what does SHE need? A way I thought we could make this a Bobby/Libi storyline if we wanted (but we do not have to) is if she does have feelings for him, could be any point on his timeline gfs and kids wise whatever, but she lets him go and have whatever gf or do whatever thing because she's like that's what he wants he doesn't like me or want me like that etc, because she doesn't let herself want things selfishly or do anything just for herself Bobby: we should totally have them be together as little bubs because they are and it's like a running joke that they are gonna get together/get married like we've lowkey already said but more so but maybe the vibe is he is really shy how he is and lowkey it's like a my sister and me vibe where she does all the talking and socialising for him and like all their friends are joint friends Bobby: not in a creepy Ro and Ali way but Bobby: and we will let you outgrow that sir Libi: it makes sense because obviously we're learning sign language so simply Bobby can't communicate with most kids by himself, that's facts, and it's easier to have another kid help you than Jimmy always being there, or whoever he has helping him at school, you know Bobby: oh snap maybe I flip reverse what I said and Cammie's mum is the deaf one too and the vibe could be that like Libi pushes him to get some deaf friends as they become like tweens/teens so he can communicate himself so he does and does become more outgrowing that way but maybe he lowkey leans too hard into deaf culture for a while there and she feels like pushed out by it because it's something she can't be a part of Libi: ooh yeah, that makes a lot of sense Bobby: it adds something to Cammie's character as well being hearing but having two deaf parents so that's interesting Bobby: and also makes sense why JJ have to help them so much as well as them just being young Libi: right, there's a lot of shit Cammie would have to do from a young age if not for JJ lowkey 'cos it's just easier for a hearing kid than it is a deaf adult in this world Libi: her mum could maybe be more partial for ease but yes Bobby: and like it makes sense that Libi would push her feelings aside when those two grow closer/happen because she'd be like well they're both deaf that's something I can't give him and something I want him to have Libi: exactly, it'd feel really selfish to wreck that even if you didn't have all the ingrained shit she does around it Bobby: and obviously he actually wants to be with her as well but thinks she doesn't want that and before you now it there's baby Cammie so it's like well now I gotta try and make this work because don't wanna be a shit father like I had Libi: oh the drama of it all Libi: love it Libi: and we've not really got (that I can think of) a never mind I'll find someone like you type deal Libi: because usually it's like JUST SAY IT but it actually makes sense here to pine and long but let him go Libi: hence I'm here for it Libi: So, what I'm thinking right now is, that they're like never officially together, like it just keeps being an in-joke kinda vibe and like we're JUST best friends and then kind of like family, but obviously as they get into tween/teen years it's beyond a stage you can pretend you're just a kid playing at being girlfriend and boyfriend and as you said boo, that will coincide with JJ wedding and kids roughly so then it'd be more obvious like it's not going to happen seriously, then she can encourage him to get deaf friends etc, but I feel like he should only meet Cammie's mum just before or at uni (or whatever equivalent he's doing after school) so then it is quick and not like they were even mates before so it's less of a shock for all, you know? Bobby: I totally agree because I strongly pictured him being best man at the JJ wedding (soz Pete) and her being one of the bridesmaids and all the bants that go along with that and them both being SO 😳 Bobby: and yeah he could live the cliché that Jac was mocking and literally get with this girl freshers week I'd believe it Libi: Right? it then mirrors the Jameson/Cammie thing except they literally are just BFFs and there isn't anything going on Libi: there's actually weight to this but we're just like haha no don't be silly Bobby: and we've literally not done that trope with childhood boy girl best friends before really because baze are probably the closest but they were always so clearly in love and refusing to fight it so it's fun Libi: exactly, because unknowingly or otherwise, we're fighting against all the cliches and tropes that come with this family Libi: like I'm going to not do any of those things that caused drama for everyone and this is clearly too close to home, even though I don't think anyone would actually be that bothered, we've just really internalized and gone with it Bobby: like how nobody cares Jac is gay except Jac herself Libi: right Libi: but obviously she's good at keeping this all internal because no one can or is gonna clock it and be like, babe, it's okay Libi: like JJ might be a bit like oop, keeping it in the family but as long as you're both happy they really don't care, and same for mcvickers even if Tess is suspish of everyone that comes into any gal's life 'cos trauma lol Bobby: Bobby wasn't trying to make deaf culture happen for himself but Libi would have been so excited for him to get out there and do it that he would've been excited too and then it is literally like a new world opening up because who has he ever interacted with that's deaf before Bobby: didn't mean to lowkey leave you behind gal but Libi: it's kinda her own fault, not to blame you but clearly literally what we do like okay he's happy now mission accomplished Bobby: and maybe Cammie's mum is like the deaf equivalent of those gays who make it their whole identity so she's really selling it and so he also thinks okay this is who I should be with Libi: we know the vibe, like it's more excusable but still, I get you Libi: I see it Libi: a bit of a baby gay equivalent like go too hard and you're like I need to calm this down Libi: UNRELATED BUT Libi: think it will please you Libi: Jay is born 32 like Bobby, I'm pretty sure, and I thought Libi and her would also make for interesting content because Jay obviously feels she owes a lot to the fam for not being stuck with Chloe etc etc and the very little we did with her gave off a similar energy to me Libi: and she has her commitment issues in relationships because of her mum situation so they can bond over the shit that holds 'em back even though it's different stuff Bobby: and her relationship with Ava being her mum but also not being is something I feel like Libi can relate to because of how she was raised and the Rio and Buster-ness of it all because they wanted to raise her and obvs they wanted to raise Jay for a while there too Bobby: plus all the travelling she does is something that Libi could potentially join her in doing if she needs an escape so that's nice Libi: 100% it makes for a strong friendship there's a lot of parallels if not total similarities Libi: it makes a lot of sense, it's coming together baby Bobby: if you need to get away from seeing Bobby literally playing happy families, I can offer you that gal because I'm gonna have her go to uni/live in new york probably now that Nancy isn't because her face actually did live there idk if they still do or what but Bobby: we know the vibe is that she goes everywhere and can't settle so you'll have lots of chances to run away in a way that won't upset anyone Bobby: and when she gets her man and it works out we could totally coincide that because she can be like if I can do it so can you Libi: a mood a moment Bobby: all I know is Bobby is gonna be more chatty because neither Jimothy or Jesse are so I must but not to Jude levels of !!! Libi: a nice middleground Libi: which is kind of what I see for her honestly Libi: less in your face than 1. we were as a little bub 2. a lot of the fam but still sociable enough that it jives well with most of 'em Bobby: I'm so happy about all of this and honestly Cammie's mum being deaf makes so much sense in terms of what we were already thinking about her being more distant and working a lot Libi: if she doesn't give up the fight, she could be some kind of advocate vibe Libi: 'cos then Cammie can't even call her out really Libi: like soz this is important, maam your child Bobby: exactly what I was thinking we're in sync rn boo Libi: because it all makes sense, you gotta follow one thread and then the story shows itself tbh Libi: because tying in Astrid too, obviously that makes sense because she loses her mum too, and she'd ultimately be a really good influence because after Ro dies Astrid is kind of freed to do whatever she wants for herself Libi: and how much happier it makes her, how much she improves...well Libi: sips tea Bobby: I LOVE THIS Libi: and who else is taking the autistic girl that seriously and letting her teach you things Libi: love that for you Libi: she's living her best life and we can see that Bobby: she can be in their friend group, I'm happy Libi: ALSO, I feel as if she couldn't lie to Astrid Libi: because she says how she sees it bluntly and we're not going to feel comfortable fobbing her off because of that insistence, so that'll be good for you even when we're hiding it from everyone else Libi: everyone else you've just got to be vaguely like oh no no and it's dropped and like okay Bobby: we're gonna get to show so many different sides of Libi, I'm always here for that Bobby: and however far we go down the Astrid and her gf eating disorder rabbit hole, we''ll have Libi not treating her like a kid which is great Libi: yeah, there's loads we can do with the end of gen 4 for them all it's a mood Bobby: okay so what or who would you like to throw Libi at first Libi: that is the question Bobby: just so we know Bobby is going to Trinity and studying Business, Economics and Social Studies (B.E.S.S.) which is business, economics, political science and sociology basically so he can end up working at that advertising place with Jimothy after he has done this 4 years Bobby: Cammie's mum is there doing deaf studies which is also 4 years Libi: do we wanna do a rough timeline for these people mentioned here Libi: Jay born 32, we find out about her when she's 7 in 39 Libi: Bobby is born 32 and comes into the story 38 Libi: Libi is born 34, Edam die 35, we know this situation, is 4 soon to be 5 when she meets Bobby vias JJ Libi: Astrid is born 35 and Ro dies in 44 when Astrid is 9 Libi: JJ can get married 46, so Libi is 12 and Bobby is 14 Libi: doesn't have to be when we intro the deaf friends to the point of exclusion obvs but it's timed so we never have the 'real' relationship chat of it all obvs Libi: so Bobby would go to uni in 50-51 and Camie is born 51 start of 2nd year Libi: that gives us this good 4 year period before uni to play with, then obviously we know the vibe of when she's born and making that work etc Libi: Hmm, I think it would make the most sense to do a gap year then stay local, like that's the ideal Libi: because I really think she'd struggle being away from the fam Libi: but I'm kinda thinking maybe to be cruel she DOES go away because it seems like something the fam are like yay about Libi: 'cos she'd try really, really hard to stay but they should at least notice that and she can transfer for a reprieve Bobby: that's really nice actually Libi: she should do her first year in Liverpool, the rest at Trinity Libi: okay, so film studies, it was only 3 years in Liverpool but we're changing to trinity and you do years 1 and 2 (aka whilst Bobby is still there at least for year 1 but I need to check anyway) there and years 3 and 4 at Columbia uni in new york, aka where Jay is Libi: **remind me to check the times but we need to give him a solid bday and I'm changing hers up too Libi: this is just roughly Libi: but this way we can be cruel with it lol

bright blue; what does your dream family look like? any kids or pets? how many of each?

PARENTHOOD INTERVIEW: Disney.

10 QUESTIONS NOT LINKED TO YOUR KID(S).

what is your current career now? “I guess you’d call it executive, but that’s boring. I’m in the entertainment industry - music and film.” 

are you enjoying it? “Sure.” 

where do you currently live? “New York, and then France throughout the summers.” 

are you married? “I am.” 

what is one thing that’s stayed the same with you since st judes? “I still don’t have the patience for most people.” 

what’s the biggest change you’ve experienced? “I’ve aged, let’s not talk about it.” 

now that you’re older and have had a successful career, what’s your biggest goal in life? “I don’t like this question. I think my whole life has been a goal. I’ve never had specific ones, I just know what I’m working towards. I don’t understand people who just stop and decide they’ve reached a final destination. Surely that’s the equivalent to dying?” 

would you still consider yourself famous? “Yes.” 

what was the first thing you did after your graduation? “We moved to New York because my Dad opened the labels second branch there, and I oversaw it. It’s also where I wanted to be for years. I didn’t want the girls permanently living in the Springs.” 

do you have any regrets about your time in st judes? “No, I did well. I was probably too nice at times.” /LOL

QUESTIONS ABOUT PARENTHOOD.

who are your children? list them in age order. “Good question...Kidding. Fleur, Dixie and then Pippa.” 

if you gave birth, who was the easiest pregnancy? if you didn’t, which pregnancy did you feel most anxious about. “Being pregnant with Pippa exhausted me. I don’t know why. Technically the twins should’ve been harder, but there you go.” 

did you have any baby showers or gender reveals? if yes, what did you do? “I did. Just a party. Not gender reveals though, I feel like very specific families do those and...yeah.” 

what kind of parent would your children describe you as, do you think? “Insane. They’ve said it to my face.” 

which stage was hardest: baby, toddler, child, teenager or young adult? “All of it from being toddlers, up. I feel like they’re babies, they’re so cute, it’s so exciting and then they hit about three and it’s like...well, shit, they’re still here.”

what has been your favourite memory with each child? “Stereotypical things; the birthday parties, Christmases...I think my favourite Christmas was the one where we set up a grotto in our house and they had all of their cousins and close friends over. That was magical.”

be honest, do you think you’ve had any failings as a parent? “No. I’ve made mistakes, sure, but I haven’t failed them.” 

what do you think you do well as a parent? “Honesty. I feel like too many parents try to sugarcoat things for their kids. People used to criticise me for how harsh I was on the twins with things like school and who they hung out with, but at the end of the day, all three of them are successful and have the world at their fingertips now. They understand what it means to work hard and they know how to say no to people or spot “friends” who aren’t actually friends.” 

how much involvement do your own parents have in your child’s life? “A lot.” 

as a parent, what is something you’re still learning? “It’s normal for children to want to follow trends and if they want to ignore me and wear something hideous, that’s on them. I still look great.” 

what’s the funniest memory from parenthood so far? “We’ve had so many. I think people have this idea that our family and household walk around in designer clothes, everything is immaculate and we act like we’re one of the Bridgerton families, but it’s not the case. The girls are hilarious - especially Pippa - and we have enough inside jokes to keep me going into old age.” 

when do you feel like you were needed the most? “The baby years, obviously.”

JUST FOR FUN, WHICH CHILD… if you have just one child, you can just say if they’d do the stuff or not.

which child is the most sensible? “Fleur.” 

which child is the most independent? “That’s tricky because I don’t want to contradict myself in implying that two of them aren’t independent. They all are...I’m going to say Dixie, though. I think she’s the one most likely to get up and do something for herself without even consulting Brody and I.” 

which child did you always have suspicions about being famous one day? “Pippa. That girl’s mind and imagination is something else.” 

which child was the hardest work as a child? “Pippa. Dixie and Fleur were very similar and she was like the little sister who just came ball dozing in and shook up what all of us were used to. Good for her, it was needed.”

which child have you cried/stressed over the most? “Gross. None of them.”

which child has the tidiest room? “Dixie.” 

which child do you think likes you the most? “Fleur.” 

which child is most likely to forget your birthday? “Pippa.” 

which child is/was the most academic? “Dixie.” 

which child is/was the most athletic? “Fleur and Pippa were both pretty sporty.” 

which child tends to be the most annoying? “All three. Fleur is a perfectionist and very precise. She can’t let things go until they’re just so...which is a little like me, I suppose. Dixie’s the whiner. She will wear you down until she gets exactly what she wants and Pippa’s the loud one. She has so much energy and just never stops.” 

which child asks for money the most? “That’s a tie.” 

which child is most likely to move in back home? “Probably Fleur.” 

which child helps out around the house the most? “Dixie...barely....but it’s more than the other two do.” 

which child enjoyed disney the most growing up? “They all liked it but none were obsessed.”

BEING AN ACADEMY PARENT.

did you have a say in the academy(s) your child(ren) picked? “Yes and no. I advised them on which ones to go to and which I personally think are a waste of time and for the most part, they listened.” 

how did you feel when your child decided they wanted to go to an academy? “Fine. I saw it coming.” 

do any of your children study the same as what you did? are they less, equally or more successful than what you were? “None of them act or have anything to do with movies.” 

when your child(ren) were younger, what did you THINK they’d end up working as? “I never really thought about it. I was too busy focusing on them in the present and preparing them for what they needed at the time. I still don’t think about it, but then I suppose we’ve always had the luxury of not having to worry about them being financially stable or anything like that.”

have you met any of your child’s friends or partners? “I’ve met a lot of friends.” 

what’s your biggest worry about your children being in an academy? “There isn’t one.” 

what’s the one piece of advice you’d give your child as they start this journey that you wished you had? “You’re not overrated, they’re just threatened. And for good reason.”

MEMORY LANE.

what tv programmes/films were on repeat as your children were growing up? “I could not get rid of Peppa Pig. That bitch finds her way into every household, I think. I thought the twins would bully Pippa, because her name is so close, and they did but in a shocking twist of events, Pippa embraced it and started acting like her which was awful because that pig is a brat. But, she’d full on snort when she was trying to make a point or copy her laugh and snort afterwards on purpose. I think that’s the closest I’ve ever been to having a parental meltdown.” 

have you ever lost your child/had something happen that’s made you panic? "Pippa again, shocker. We never lost her but she once got her head stuck in a hotel stairwells banister. Don’t ask me how.”

what was the first holiday you went on as a whole family? “We didn’t travel for a while after Pippa was born. I’m so against going to places with newborns. It’s just pointless. Travelling for work is pointless, but the parents who drag their tiny kids to Disneyland or sit on scorching beaches with them are insane. For her fourth birthday, we went to Disneyland Florida, though.” 

can you remember a time you’ve ever been called to the principals office? “Many times, mainly for Dixie and Pippa.” 

say one thing about your child that you think they’d like to hear, but wouldn’t expect you to say. “You’ve done way more than enough to make me proud. For sure.”

WHO ARE YOU BRINGING TO THE ISLE?

FACECLAIM: Jesse Williams

NAME: Jude Sebastian Walker

AGE: 34

BIRTHDAY: 19th of October 1986

OCCUPATION: Emergency & Trauma Doctor

HOMETOWN: New York City

PETS: N/A

POWERS: 

Energy Absorption - Jude has a horrific power that if he touches you with his bare hands, he takes away your energy/life force. Obviously. being a doctor that’s a bit problematic, but he wears a thin pair of black gloves constantly to ensure he doesn’t kill anyone accidentally.

BIOGRAPHY:

Jude Walker was born into a poor family in the Bronx, that had seven people living in a two bedroom apartment. His mother Dina Walker had always tried her best, bless her heart, to ensure her children had everything, but it just had never worked out for her. Jude is the youngest of her six children, a mixture of both boys and girls, but he was her little miracle child. Asclepius had met Dina once night when she had been drowning her sorrows in a bar, and it seems that he took pity on her story and blessed her with a son who could actually account for something. With her other children being a mix of criminals and dead beats (not her own words of course), Jude was destined for greatness, from the moment that he was able to walk, that she knew.

Being the youngest of six kids, Jude got bullied a lot by his older siblings, but he never really let it bother him. He knew it was because he was more intelligent than them, because he got better grades than them, and because he didn’t get in trouble as they did. Dina pushed her youngest towards medicine, knowing who his father was, and knowing that he’d get the most potential out of his life if he followed his affinity to medicine. At birthdays and Christmas, he was gifted things such as a doctors kid, a doctors coat, and a toy stethoscope that he enjoyed playing it - but not as much as his mother would have liked. He actually preferred music, and had a pretty good singing voice and affinity for the guitar - but that wasn’t the life he was destined to lead.

Dina pretty much guilted her son into following a career in medicine. Without really trying too hard, his grades were good enough to get a scholarship to John Hopkins university, and once he had graduated as a MD, he’d be able to look after the family more than she ever had been able to. Jude wanted to go down the path of music, he wanted to study music tech at university, and musical performance, but seeing the disappointed look on his mother’s face was enough to make him change his mind. She’d raised him, given him as much as she could, and it was only fair that he did the same for her in return. 

It was when he was in medical school of course, that Jude found out what his power was from his father. His father being a god was something that his mother had never hidden from him, and he’d expected something to show itself sooner or later, but nothing like what he had thought. He’d been doing some work experience in a free clinic when it had first happened - when he’d been greeting at patient by shaking her hand and suddenly she could barely breathe. At first, Jude though it was an allergic reaction to something that had perhaps been on his skin when he had been working previously, as she got better once he had let go. After washing his hands profusely, he attempted to shake hands with another patient later on that day, and the same thing happened. This time he had held on too long, and the guy had almost collapsed. It took it happening for a third time for him to head home for the day, to call his father down from the heavens (the only time that he has ever done so) to ask what the hell was going on. He was told that his gifts with medicine came as a price, and that was that his hands could no longer heal, only hurt. Jude was gifted with a pair of thin, black gloves that allowed him to still feel things on a patient’s body, such as their pulse or any abrasions, but he wouldn’t be able to touch them without them on. This didn’t just go for patients, but with anyone. He had to be careful hugging his mother, touching a woman - anything.

Once Jude had graduated from university, he got himself a job in Baltimore at a local hospital, and found himself easily falling into the role as a trauma doctor, even though his mind would sometimes flit to music, and what he could have been doing if he hadn’t been Asclepius’ son. Jude was living his life quite casually and calmly, getting on with things as best he could because of his power, not knowing anything about other demigods, until he met Odessa. 

Walking home from work one day, Jude had stumbled upon a crash on one of the main roads, and instantly he had ran over to help. He’d taken his gloves off once he had left the hospital, obviously not planning on touching anyone and that thought barely crossed his mind until he was done getting the man into the recovery position, and the ambulance crew took over. He took in a deep breath as he looked down at his hands, visibly beginning to shake, and spoke out loud “how can I touch people? How is this happening?” Obviously, some people looked at him like he was a mental person, but a red-head stepped out of the crowd and came over to him, laughing about how she had turned off his power. 

That was the start of a beautiful friendship, of Jude becoming a big brother like figure (after a few times sleeping together they realised it wasn’t going to work as anything more) to the girl, looking out for her knowing that she would always find herself in trouble. It was a few years later, when she told him that her brother had died and was heading off to an island full of demi-gods that Jude was really shocked. He’d never known her to have any other family, he thought he was the closest thing that she, and where the hell was this island?

After Odessa left, it took Jude two weeks to hand in his notice at the hospital, pack up his life, and move to the island in Greece. He’s not going to let her go off on her own and get herself into all sort of messes, but he also wants to know if he had any siblings that he doesn’t know about in Icaria, and what it’s like living on an isle full of demigods.

      ♡ . *   [   madelyn cline, cis female, she/her   ] ⁠— * oh, here comes DELILAH ABBOTT  !  the twenty-two year old libra is often referred to as the luminary. people say they have a tendency to be sententious and opinionated, but from what i’ve seen, they can be vivacious and devoted too. when they walk by, you’ll probably hear give you my lovin by mazzy star playing out of their headphones, but they’re also associated with chewing bubblegum after lunch, signing love letters with a kiss, & collecting music boxes. i hear they’re a waitress and studying women’s studies & want to become a social worker when they’re older, but who knows what will become of ‘em  !

        hey, everyone  !!  my name is diana, i am twenty years old, use she/her pronouns and reside in the est timezone  !!  some fun facts ( not really ) abt me: i’m a libra sun with a virgo moon and aquarius rising, i have 3 cats, i love film and jane austen :) i am suuuuper excited to be part of this group, ily all already and all ur muses are amazing <3 hehe i’ll be coming to u all for plots now asap :’) but anyway, without further ado, u can read abt my muse delilah under the cut  !!!

♡ . *    𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔    !

full name : delilah lane abbott

nickname(s) : lila ( she goes by this ), dee ( by family and close friends )

age : twenty-two

zodiac : libra sun, taurus moon, pisces rising ( click )

sexuality : bisexual

alignment : neutral good

pinterest : click

♡ . *    𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅    !    ( alcoholism & substance abuse tw )

delilah was born on a crisp autumn night, october 15th, 1970, to be exact. she was born in a tiny apartment in the middle of a college party. delilah’s birth mom was extremely young ( high school age ) when she got pregnant, and wasn’t sure who the father was. she came from a wealthy family, but ran away when she realized she was pregnant

her  birth  mother  also  struggled  with  alcoholism  and  substance  abuse.  those  close  to  her  did  their  best  to  make  sure  she  wasn’t  using  any  of  these  substances  during  her  pregnancy,  but  she  snuck  a  few  drinks  and  pills  here  and  there  whenever  she  got  the  chance

after giving birth to delilah, things only got worse. she continued drinking and using drugs more than ever before, often times neglecting her baby. she attempted to raise her baby with her boyfriend, who was much older than her, but he ultimately was no help and only there for a good time. delilah lived with her birth mom the first three ( almost four ) years of her life

finally, her birth mom’s parents tracked her down and discovered she had a child. once they saw the conditions she was living in, they told her she needed to put delilah up for adoption before the state took her away. so that is exactly what she did, and has been in and out of rehab ever since

delilah was adopted around a year later. at this point, she was nearly 5. she was extremely happy and felt so grateful to be adopted. while in the foster care system, she had met a lot of older kids who had been there for years

delilah’s family was so loving and welcoming, she truly could not have asked for more. 3 years later, they adopted jude and delilah became a big sister  !!!  she is extremely protective over her sister, she would literally do anything for her :’) and their parents clearly loved kids, since their basement also became the hangout spot for everyone

( donna and i are still plotting out the details about their family, but it’s only them and their mom now o: )

lila had to grow up pretty fast, so she always much more responsible and mature for her age. still, despite everything, she always maintained an optimistic outlook on life. she loves life and the people in hers so much, she just has so much love to spread  !!!!

delilah developed a passion for feminism at a young age, thanks to her mother. she would literally print out feminist readings and pass them out at lunch in high school. she’d also give speeches about feminism at school. some people disliked her for it, saying she was too opinionated and stuff, but it never stopped her. she also pretty much always knew she wanted to be a social worker

♡ . *    𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚    !

delilah always sees the best in people. although she acknowledges that everyone has flaws, she’s the type of person who doesn’t like to give up on anyone. she will support you even through your darkest times, and try to help you see the light

she is so protective of her friends and family, like will truly do anything to see them safe and happy. she just wants to remind everyone that they are loved and supported

she LOVES people soooooo much  !!!  she is extremely extroverted, literally a social butterfly who tries to befriend literally everyone ajskdhkdh

delilah dislikes conflict, so she is often playing peacemaker, whether in her home life or with her friend group. she wants everyone to get along, but be able to talk to their differences to come to some sort of common ground. however, sometimes this means shes sticking her nose in other people’s business

she is obsessed with love  !!!!  like this girl literally falls in love 5 times a day with a stranger on the bus, the coolest celebrity on tv, the girl that sits next to he in class, etc. i think she is definitely a relationship person, because she’s a nurturer and wants to be there for people. however, i think sometimes she gets caught up in the fairy tale of it all. like she wants to be in love so bad, sometimes she rushes into things or idealizes the situation in her head, so things might not exactly work out

delilah isn’t very open with her emotions. she mostly keeps them to herself, because she doesn’t want anyone to have to worry about her or anything. she tries to deal with everything herself mostly

she sees the beauty in everything, which is like partially because she’s a huge optimist. she also cannot resist pretty things. she once bought a pink guitar from a thrift store because she thought it was pretty, even though she has no idea how to play. however, she wants to learn, especially because she loves to sing ( this bitch is literally always humming )

is almost always the designated driver. she doesn’t really drink or smoke too often, and when she does, it’s during social situations. but she wants her friends to have all the fun they want and know they have someone they can count on to get them home safely. but btw she is an extreme lightweight LMFAO

Book Recs if you love Jaime and Brienne

This is a collection of all the book recs I could find from @briennesjaime​ tumblr books rec, the reddit, and my own. Please reblog your own if you have some. 

1. The Queen of Attolia which is book#2 of the The Queen’s Thief series

This is definitely more for the enemies to lovers trope. The thief even loses a hand like Jaime but under much different circumstances.  The Queen is like the colder version of Brienne.

Revenge When Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, stole Hamiathes’s Gift, the Queen of Attolia lost more than a mythical relic. She lost face. Everyone knew that Eugenides had outwitted and escaped her. To restore her reputation and reassert her power, the Queen of Attolia will go to any length and accept any help that is offered…she will risk her country to execute the perfect revenge. …but Eugenides can steal anything. And he taunts the Queen of Attolia, moving through her strongholds seemingly at will. So Attolia waits, secure in the knowledge that the Thief will slip, that he will haunt her palace one too many times. …at what price? When Eugenides finds his small mountain country at war with Attolia, he must steal a man, he must steal a queen, he must steal peace. But his greatest triumph, and his greatest loss, comes in capturing something that the Queen of Attolia thought she had sacrificed long ago… 

2. The Lumatere Chronicles 

One of my favorite series of all time. It’s character driven and it’s has many surprises. Starts off with Finnikin has lost hope like Jaime but gains it slowly over time. Evanjalin her honor and her pursuit of her quest reminds me very much of  Brienne. 

Finnikin of the Rock and his guardian, Sir Topher, have not been home to their beloved Lumatere for ten years. Not since the dark days when the royal family was murdered and the kingdom put under a terrible curse. But then Finnikin is summoned to meet Evanjalin, a young woman with an incredible claim: the heir to the throne of Lumatere, Prince Balthazar, is alive. Evanjalin is determined to return home and she is the only one who can lead them to the heir. As they journey together, Finnikin is affected by her arrogance … and her hope. He begins to believe he will see his childhood friend, Prince Balthazar, again. And that their cursed people will be able to enter Lumatere and be reunited with those trapped inside. He even believes he will find his imprisoned father. But Evanjalin is not what she seems. And the truth will test not only Finnikin’s faith in her … but in himself.

3. Howl’s Moving Castle 

This one might be a stretch but hear me out. Howl is pretty much the embodiment of Jaime but probably more vain. While, Sophie really conveys Brienne self-esteem issues but still noble in her own right. Plus, their banter very reminiscent to Jaime and Brienne. 

Sophie has the great misfortune of being the eldest of three daughters, destined to fail miserably should she ever leave home to seek her fate. But when she unwittingly attracts the ire of the Witch of the Waste, Sophie finds herself under a horrid spell that transforms her into an old lady. Her only chance at breaking it lies in the ever-moving castle in the hills: the Wizard Howl’s castle. To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must handle the heartless Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch of the Waste head-on. Along the way, she discovers that there’s far more to Howl—and herself—than first meets the eye.

@temporiibus recommends The Raven Cycle!!

“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.” It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore. From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races, comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before. 

The Winners Trilogy

As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions.  One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin.  But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.  Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone recommended by @realduality

Errand requiring immediate attention. Come. The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Karou read the message. 'He never says please', she sighed, but she gathered up her things. When Brimstone called, she always came. In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. On the one hand, she's a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. Raised half in our world, half in 'Elsewhere', she has never understood Brimstone's dark work - buying teeth from hunters and murderers - nor how she came into his keeping. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn't whole. Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought.

The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. Hard SF, and the romance is definitely not a major plot, but one of the characters involved in the trope is legit my favorite fictional character of all time and that journey from enemy to friend to lover is a big part of it.

In his most ambitious project to date, award-winning author Kim Stanley Robinson utilizes years of research & cutting-edge science in the 1st of a trilogy chronicling the colonization of Mars: For eons, sandstorms have swept the desolate landscape. For centuries, Mars has beckoned humans to conquer its hostile climate. Now, in 2026, a group of 100 colonists is about to fulfill that destiny. John Boone, Maya Toitavna, Frank Chalmers & Arkady Bogdanov lead a terraforming mission. For some, Mars will become a passion driving them to daring acts of courage & madness. For others it offers an opportunity to strip the planet of its riches. For the genetic alchemists, it presents a chance to create a biomedical miracle, a breakthrough that could change all we know about life & death. The colonists orbit giant satellite mirrors to reflect light to the surface. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will capture warmth. Massive tunnels, kilometers deep, will be drilled into the mantle to create stupendous vents of hot gases. Against this backdrop of epic upheaval, rivalries, loves & friendships will form & fall to pieces--for there are those who will fight to the death to prevent Mars from ever being changed. Brilliantly imagined, breathtaking in scope & ingenuity, Red Mars is an epic scientific saga, chronicling the next step in evolution, creating a world in its entirety. It shows a future, with both glory & tarnish, that awes with complexity & inspires with vision.

The Folk of the Air

Of course I want to be like them. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe. Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences. As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

Feyre's survival rests upon her ability to hunt and kill – the forest where she lives is a cold, bleak place in the long winter months. So when she spots a deer in the forest being pursued by a wolf, she cannot resist fighting it for the flesh. But to do so, she must kill the predator and killing something so precious comes at a price ... Dragged to a magical kingdom for the murder of a faerie, Feyre discovers that her captor, his face obscured by a jewelled mask, is hiding far more than his piercing green eyes would suggest. Feyre's presence at the court is closely guarded, and as she begins to learn why, her feelings for him turn from hostility to passion and the faerie lands become an even more dangerous place. Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose him forever.

 @swainlake recommends the darkest powers trilogy by kelley armstrong is really good

My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again. All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary. I don't even know what that means anymore. It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost - and the ghost saw me. Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won't leave me alone. To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a "special home" for troubled teens. Yet the home isn't what it seems. Don't tell anyone, but I think there might be more to my housemates than meets the eye. The question is, whose side are they on? It's up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House... before its skeletons come back to haunt me

@imladriss recommends: We hunt the flame by hafsah faizal

People lived because she killed. People died because he lived. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the king. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways.  Both are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya—but neither wants to be. War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. When Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic to her suffering world and stop the Arz, Nasir is sent by the king on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds—and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine. Set in a richly detailed world inspired by ancient Arabia, We Hunt the Flame is a gripping debut of discovery, conquering fear, and taking identity into your own hands.

@moirindeclermont recommends  anything from Jacqueline Carey (she is a goddess and my favourite writer) but also Deborah Harkness (A discovery of witches) which is amazing, I’m obsessed with it. Nemesis by Isaac Asimov touches some themes similar to Brienne’s. Arn the knight

The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassing beauty and grace. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good... and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt.  Phèdre nó Delaunay is a young woman who was born with a scarlet mote in her left eye. Sold into indentured servitude as a child, her bond is purchased by Anafiel Delaunay, a nobleman with very a special mission... and the first one to recognize who and what she is: one pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Phèdre is trained equally in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber, but, above all, the ability to observe, remember, and analyze. Almost as talented a spy as she is courtesan, Phèdre stumbles upon a plot that threatens the very foundations of her homeland. Treachery sets her on her path; love and honor goad her further. And in the doing, it will take her to the edge of despair... and beyond. Hateful friend, loving enemy, beloved assassin; they can all wear the same glittering mask in this world, and Phèdre will get but one chance to save all that she holds dear.  Set in a world of cunning poets, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and a truly Machiavellian villainess, this is a novel of grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal, and deeply laid conspiracies. Not since Dune has there been an epic on the scale of Kushiel's Dart-a massive tale about the violent death of an old age, and the birth of a new.

Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. Diana has stumbled upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries-and she is the only creature who can break its spell.

In a hail of fire and flashing sword, as the burning city of Acre falls from the hands of the West in 1291, The Last Templar opens with a young Templar knight, his mentor, and a handful of others escaping to the sea carrying a mysterious chest entrusted to them by the Order's dying Grand Master. The ship vanishes without a trace. In present day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights emerge from Central Park and ride up the Fifth Avenue steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the blacktie opening of a Treasures of the Vatican exhibit. Storming through the crowds, the horsemen brutally attack anyone standing between them and their prize. Attending the gala, archaeologist Tess Chaykin watches in silent terror as the leader of the horsemen hones in on one piece in particular, a strange geared device. He utters a few cryptic Latin words as he takes hold of it with reverence before leading the horsemen out and disappearing into the night. In the aftermath, an FBI investigation is led by anti-terrorist specialist Sean Reilly. Soon, he and Tess are drawn into the dark, hidden history of the crusading Knights, plunging them into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars. 

Irissa and Kendric Series

Irissa was the last of the sorcerous Torlocs, untutored in magic and abandoned upon this decaying world by her people. Kendric was one of the Six of Swords, gifted with a legendary weapon to guard the Realms from harm. But now he was an outcast, and his death was sought with reason by the other Five. Sorceress and swordsman, they were thrown together; each filled with ancient prejudices against the other. But only by combining her uncertain powers with his remaining skills could they survive. Survive they must, however. Rule was a world formed upon magic - but now magic was failing and there would soon be no place for it. And destiny in strange guise had chosen them to make one last stand against the dark forces that were waiting at the Gate of Valna, seeking to destroy their world

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Orphaned as a child, Jane has felt an outcast her whole young life. Her courage is tested once again when she arrives at Thornfield Hall, where she has been hired by the brooding, proud Edward Rochester to care for his ward Adèle. Jane finds herself drawn to his troubled yet kind spirit. She falls in love. Hard.

But there is a terrifying secret inside the gloomy, forbidding Thornfield Hall. Is Rochester hiding from Jane? Will Jane be left heartbroken and exiled once again?

Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England

In the medieval and fantastic realm of Tortall, Keladry of Mindelan (known as Kel) is the first girl to take advantage of the decree that permits women to train for knighthood. But not everyone in Tortall believes a woman is up to the task, and Kel faces harsh discrimination. With unparalleled determination and a knack for leadership, she captures the hearts of her peers and proves that she is not a girl to underestimate!
