It has been years since you’ve called Chicago home. You decided to move away from the city after the death of your father, Benny Severide, he was everywhere you looked. Mourning him while being surrounded by everything that reminded you of him was impossibly hard. Your brother Kelly, completely supported your decision and had even helped you move. Now that you had fully processed his death, you thought it was time to move back. You decided to call Kelly on your drive over. 

“Hey, sis, what’s up?” He said as he picked up the phone, by the loudness of his surroundings you knew he was on shift. “Is now a good time? I can call back later.” You should’ve known by now that he would make time for you no matter what. “You’re all good.” You stop at a redlight and continue your conversation with your brother. “I’m moving back to Chicago, actually I just started driving.” You could hear the happiness in his voice, “I’m so glad you’ll be closer again. Have you found a place yet?” He asks. “No not yet, I figured I would just stay at a hotel until I find a place.” Kelly was quick to respond, “Don’t be ridiculous, you can stay with me and Shay until you find something.” You hear a muffled voice on the other side of the line and then a response from Kelly, “Otis, stop it, she is my sister!” His next words are aimed at you, “Just so you know, 51 is off limits for dating, understood?” You laughed, “You’ve got it. I’ll see you later, bye Kelly.” 

You arrived in Chicago after a couple of hours, you felt like walking around for a while before heading over to the address that your brother texted you. It was good to be back, you had always loved it here. You were nearing the cemetery where your dad was buried, contemplating whether you should go visit his grave, ultimately deciding that you were ready. It was the first time you had been here since the day of the funeral, you noticed that the grave was well kept and fresh flowers were standing in a vase next to the headstone. It did you well knowing that Kelly came to visit him, when you weren’t able to. Your next stop was your favorite bar, you needed a drink after this big step. 

The ambiance in the bar was exactly as you remembered it. The string lights on the ceiling, the pictures of the locals on the wall, and the laughter and conversation filling the room. You spot a free chair at the bar and claim it. You order a beer, a burger and some fries. “Here you go.” The bartender hands you your beer, “The food will be out shortly.” You smile and thank him. Sipping on the beer, you look around the bar, you love to people watch and what better location than a busy bar? There was a group of older men playing a card game, the table filled with pints of beers. At the pool table you spotted a group, you assumed to be twenty five years old, playing an intense game of pool. You move on to the next part of the bar where you find a woman your age playing a game of darts with a fifty year old man, your eyes linger on the blonde woman. She throws her last dart and cheers, “You owe me a drink, Frank!” You miss the rest of the interaction as your food gets placed in front of you. 

You start on your burger and after a few bites the woman stands next to you at the bar. “A beer, please, and can you add it to Frank’s tab?” The bartender looks over to Frank, after a thumbs up he places a beer in front of her. “Smart way to get free drinks.” You comment. “Right?” The woman laughs. “Mind if I sit with you for a moment?” You pretend to think for a moment. “Depends, will you be tricking me into buying you drinks as well?” You joke. The woman is quick to respond, “Don’t worry, I don’t trick pretty girls into buying me drinks.” She raised her beer to cheers it with you. A small blush reaches your cheeks, “Then please take a seat.” She smiles and takes a seat. “I’m Leslie, by the way.” You shake her hand and introduce yourself as well, “Pleasure to meet you, Leslie, I’m y/n.” She smirks, “The pleasure is all mine.” 

The two of you fall into conversation easily. You watch as Leslie takes one of your fries, you don't mind at all, but you think it's funny that she just started eating your food. She realizes your eyes on her and realizes what she did. "Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that without asking you first." You place your hand on her knee, stopping her from rambling. "I don't mind, eat as many as you want." Leslie smiles your way, "Okay, but let me buy you your next drink. Another beer?" You tell her that she doesn't have to buy you a drink in return for eating your fries, but she insists. "Okay, but something non-alcoholic like a club soda or something. I have a feeling this will be an evening that I'd like to remember." You say with a subtle wink. Leslie smirks, and orders "Two club soda's, please."

You have just finished your food when Leslie’s favorite song comes on. “Come dance with me, please. This is my absolute favorite song!” Her enthusiasm pulls you over the edge to say yes. She takes your hand and guides you to the middle of the bar. While keeping hold of your hand she starts dancing around, once again her enthusiasm is contagious and you start dancing with her, the whole crowd at the bar disappears and it’s just you and her jumping around, dancing, and laughing. When the song comes to an end Leslie pulls you close, you’re both still breathing hard from the exercise you just did, but neither of you cared and crashed your lips together. You had been thinking of kissing her since the moment she took the seat next to you at the bar, but nothing you had imagined could amount to her lips actually being on yours. You each got carried away in the moment, but got pulled back to reality by the bar crowd cheering and whistling loudly. You look around the room wide eyed, not having expected so many people to watch you make out with someone. Leslie notices and takes your hand once more, “Come on, let’s get out of here.” 

After making sure you’re okay with it, she takes you to her apartment two blocks over. Once inside she takes your hand and guides you to her bedroom. She closes the door and pushes you against it, she wastes no time and starts kissing you again. This time without any crowd interruptions you deepen the kiss and soon your hands are exploring each other's bodies. You unbutton her flannel and drop it to the floor, she does the same to your shirt. Next thing you know she’s laying on top of you in her bed. You weren’t typically one to kiss on a first date, let alone go home with a stranger, but with Leslie it was different. The way she was pleasuring you felt more special, more meaningful than a one night stand. You hoped that she felt the same way. When you were both catching your breath, laying down next to each other, Leslie is quick to let you know that she feels the same way. “Please stay the night. I know we did things kind of backwards but I’d love to take you on a breakfast date in the morning.” You smile wide before kissing her softly, “I’d love that too.” 

You’re awoken the next morning by Leslie cuddling into your side. You smile with your eyes still closed and wrap your arm around her, cuddling her back. “Good morning.” She says in a raspy morning voice. You say good morning back and the two of you lay in bed cuddling for a little while longer, until Leslie offers you some coffee. Leslie gets out of bed first and grabs a shirt from the floor and puts it on, she looks down and laughs, “This is yours.” You laugh with her, “It looks good on you. Give me your flannel, please.” Leslie walks out of the room in just the shirt and her underwear, so you follow her lead and leave your pants in the room. You follow her into the kitchen and stand next to her at the counter as she fills two cups with coffee. That’s when you hear a door open somewhere in the apartment, you hadn’t exactly gotten as far as talking about roommates last night. You quickly button up the flannel some more, mentally thanking Leslie for the oversized flannel, covering you until mid-thigh. Nothing could’ve prepared you for the next moment, your brother walked into the kitchen. “Kelly?” You question out loud, confused as to what was happening. “Y/n? What are you  doing here?” Leslie looks confused between the two of you. Kelly walks closer and asks another question before you can even answer the first one. “And why aren’t you wearing any clothes?” He then looks over to Leslie, who is also not wearing enough clothes. “Oh no, no, no. I told you not to date anyone from 51.” 

Leslie is starting to connect the dots of Kelly’s sister coming to visit and the two of you knowing each other. A laugh escapes her mouth, but she quickly holds it in as Kelly sends her a stern look. “Just so we’re all clear, I did not know she was your roommate or worked at 51. Actually, thinking about it, you told me your roommate's name was Shay, this is Leslie.” Leslie steps closer to you and extends her hand, you take it with a confused look on her face. “Leslie Shay.” She says the laughter she’s holding is still present on her face. “Y/n Severide.” You say defeated. “Okay, now we’ve got that all figured out, I’m going to put some clothes on. Excuse me.” Leslie goes to follow you but is stopped by Kelly grabbing her arm. “Shay, you’re my best friend but she’s my little sister. I don’t know what your intentions are but if you hurt her..” Leslie stops him before he can finish his sentence. “Look, I don’t know what the future holds but I really like her. I’ve never felt this strongly about a person from the start, she’s special, and my intention was to take her out for breakfast this morning, please join us.” She doesn’t leave room for Kelly to respond and walks to her room. She knocks on the door before entering, she finds you sitting on her bed, staring at the floor. “Hey, it’s okay. He might kill me if I hurt you but I don’t intend on hurting you. He’s just being protective, he’ll be fine.” You take a deep breath, “Yeah, you’re probably right. This just wasn’t at all what I expected this morning.” She sits down next to you on the bed and hugs you tight. “I invited him to join us for breakfast, I hope that’s okay. He can’t be mad over food, trust me.” 

She was right, Kelly saw the way the two of you were interacting and his worries for you getting hurt eased. He trusted both you and Shay, you were both adults. You just also happened to be the two people he cared the most about in this world, but maybe that was a good thing, his two favorite people meeting and getting along so well. Kelly insisted on paying for breakfast, despite Leslie’s insisting that she’s got it. Leslie leans into your and whispers, I’ll take you on an actual date next time.

Yandere Loak x Female Human Reader

You stared at your sleeping twin babies. They were finally resting. Those two boys were so rowdy. They had so much energy. Always crying and keeping you awake. They would drink so much milk.

You slowly went to your bed and closed your eyes. Loak came back to find you and his boys resting. He and Neteyam and his father were training with the water.

He smiled at the scenery. He knew you were struggling. The damn neighbors would gossip and mock you for being a human. And your babies were called devil spawn and freaks.

He laid down next to you and went to sleep with you next to him.

....

Loak was watching you breast feed one of his sons. He was interrupted when he was summoned by his father and chief.

You watched your husband leave again. Since moving to this strange place, you became rather depressed. As an ex scientist, you knew post birth of children had symptoms of depression and fatigue. But it was more hard in reality.

You didn't want to complain to Loak but you could t hold it in much longer.

You were afraid that your babies will have no friends when they grow up and be outcasts.

You decided to get out of your house and take a stroll for fresh air.

You carried both your babies in your arms and stared into the sea. So clean and natural. But sadly, four Navi young men about Loak's age came to you.

They called you a demon and your children freaks.

"leave her alone!"

Your sister in law, Kiri came and defended you. Sadly, the leader of the group pulled her tail

Your sons both began to cry in your arms.

Suddenly Loak and Neteyam came.

Neteyam warned the group like a diplomat. Loak grabbed your forearm and led you away.

You followed him obediently, but the jerks kept mouthing off. Loak lost his temper when they called his twins ugly mutants.

Fuck.

Loak turned around.

He then punched the leader and the whole fight started. Neteyam came to help. You shook your head. You were so stressed. You just left the scene. Should you tell your lover that you are unhappy with him? You love him but hate the others and this planet. You want to go to earth. But you cannot live without Loak or your twins but you missed your house on earth. What should you do? You were torn.

[yua-nism]

I saw your tags and I’m now very intrigued like what do you mean yuhan has the SHORTEST TRAGIC BACKSTORY?!?! JUST WHAT IS GOING ON?? like granted I should have known a game about devil cat butlers would have some angst and tragic backstories but god damn 😭😭

there was a miscalculation on my part and yuuhan's is in fact, not the one with the shortest backstory! however that's only because the others have yet to have their backstories be revealed. sorry for the late answer btw, exams have made me pretty tired.

ok so ill briefly explain a bit. this ties in to the requirement to become a devil butler that is, having felt so much despair that one feels like dying. normal people will be swallowed up by the devils they contract with. the despair essentially acts like chains for the devil. so to talk about their pasts in the Briefest Way Possible (lie):

miyaji has beef with lucas on the surface but really it's because he still can't get over the fact that lucas decided to save him from the verge of death instead of someone else he thought was more capable than him while lucas simply chose to save miyaji because he had higher chances of living.

lucas was basically a child prodigy/genius. since young, he's always loved reading books, and even read thick books that even adults struggled to understand. even though he was lonely and had no one to talk to, he still endured it, skipped grades, and became a doctor at the age of 10+. at first he was looked down on for being young, but an older doctor stood up for him. eventually he became the leader of the doctors, but due to his lack of social skills, he struggled to communicate well, which resulted in the doctors hating him. in the end, all the doctors except lucas quit their job. and the group collapsed. (tbf id quit too... imagine being said you didn't work as hard as him and don't have as much brainpower compared to him as well)

ammon has only had his mom since birth and lived with her, selling flowers for a living. ammon would always make sure the flowers would be sold out at the end of the day for his sickly mother, but if he doesn't manage to sell all of them it's heavily implied his mom whips him like he does to himself even now. they were like super poor but ammon still loved his mom because he only had her

berrien has like this super mysterious past but rn it's starting to unravel in chapter 4. he's an orphan and got adopted into a church backed by the grovanas or whatever nobel family to nurture warriors who could fight angels, but surprisingly the church is actually full of love and was ran by someone who fighted angels named Goetia. berrien also met his soon-to-be older brother figure named Beren/Belen. btw all of the kids go by the last name Cliane because goetia wants everyone to become true family.

when berrien was 26 (Beren 29), goetia died from a chronic disease and Beren had to take on goetia's responsibilities. berrien became the one running the church, however shit happened, Beren got demonized, and berrien used his powers to keep Beren alive after forming a contract with his current devil. he's still residing in berrien's basement as of current, but in a coma. berrien still thinks he himself has no rights to be a butler and really does not believe that he's the one keeping the damn thing running

also the church got destroyed like 2400 years ago and yes berrien is 2000+ years old

haures was born into some wack ass family, his dad ran away with some other woman and his mom projected her rage and stuff like that onto haures, and his newborn younger sister Tricia. haures is 10 years older than Tricia. when he was that age, he ran away from home with Tricia (literal baby) because he no longer trusted his mom to take good care of them. after that, when haures was 18, he trained hard to become a soldier under the grovanas nobles so he could afford to let Tricia get treatment for her worsening vision. one heartbreaking scene was when haures showed off his red uniform to Tricia and she said the blue uniform looked good on him... but 5 years later, haures managed to get Tricia's eyes healed!!! surely nothing bad could happen!!!!

sike. haures caught one of the grovanas nobles illegally trafficking humans with some dealer, and arrested him. however that led to the seller getting revenge, and he decided to capture tricia. he stabbed her and threw her into the woods. when haures found her, she only managed to call out to haures before she died after a few breaths. haures was really really really devastated. he sought revenge on the noble, and while the noble didn't die, he was jailed 5 years for harming the noble (not death sentence because he was determined mentally unstable after losing Tricia.). after he got out of jail, he found the noble again and wanted to kill him, but he was reminded of how Tricia admired him for protecting the people and helping those in need, which stopped him. after that, he became a devil butler because of his proficient fighting skills.

lamli was forced to work at a circus by his mom at the age of 10, while starting up with simple duties, he decided to train to become a circus troupe performer so he'd earn more money for his complaining mother. its heavily implied he's abandoned by her and becomes a devil butler because of his nimble body. btw his mom said she never wanted to have lamli right in front of him. jesus.

fennesz was born into a wealthy happy family, and had an older sister. however his war general father lost a war against nobles, and the economy went into shambles. his mom remarried but even though their stepdad was nice, fennesz and his sister ended up strays on the street due to some reasons i forgot of. fennesz would get bullied by kids on the street because of his father's loss in the war, but his sister would always protect him, and they relied on each other for survival. she's very smart, as shown in the story. she also loves history, as she said, it can help people learn from the past. its heavily implied she is dead.

ok flure! flure grew up with his older sister and mother who both did ballet (can one of you have an actual dad for once?), and he also followed in their footsteps. however when he was a child he was bullied for liking stereotypical girly things, like playing with his sister's dolls, doing ballet and having long hair. even though he was laughed at for doing it, he still underwent strict training guided bg his sister and mother. he never found the courage to tell his sister or mom even though his sister could tell something was wrong (heard him crying at night). he still thinks he should be more courageous to this day and thinks he's pathetic. we don't know what happened to his family but they probably died.

i wanted to talk about boschi but i realized idk much about him apart from the fact that he only had his grandmother (who's actually a great caretaker for once!) and he was bullied for being a bookworm/nerd at school and had no friends. though he did actually beat those bullies up later for mocking his grandma when she wanted to take him back home. she didn't want boschi to fight but she said herself she was actually rooting for him when he was fighting LMAOOO love her for that

lono. ok so lono was really poor and had no parents, and he acted as the older brother for the younger kids living on the streets with him. he'd work as someone who'd clean up rubble from battling angels, which was a job that had unstable income since no one knows when angels are gonna appear. they were family basically. lono would rather starve than let his siblings eat less, and his love of cooking originated here because he loved seeing them happy from his cooking. we don't know what happened to them, but they're probably dead

nac was born into a rich family, and has a father, not sure if he has a mother, never mentioned at least. apparently the stein family was great at sales or trading or smth??? they're just some very rich and well-known name. however on his 12th birthday, his butler led him to the forest near the stein mansion, and revealed himself to be someone the stein family harmed. just as he was about to kill lil nac in shock, nac retaliated in defense. and when he realized, he already stabbed the man at his vital point. his dad appears out of nowhere and reveals that he knew this all along, and that the stein family is actually a long line of assassins with sales as their front personas. nac was trained to kill since then, and thought he'd never feel positive emotions again before he became a devil butler. he also has scars all around his body, probably from the assassin work he did.

lato and his non-blood related brother, Aleks I think? were kidnapped by people who wanted to train people to become angel fighters. however unlike berrien, this time it's just pure cruelness and literal torture. they were 8 when this experiment started. not only that, all the children were sold by their caretakers to this place, including lato and aleks' "mother", the head of their orphanage, who they deeply loved and believed in. when lato finally found a way to escape, almost half the children were dead.

and when he told the others, they told lato that they already gave up on escaping, including aleks. from, i suppose, all the suppressed anger and trauma, he burned the experiment facility down, leaving the other kids to die because he hallucinated that they wanted them to be burned so they could be free. after that, lato returned to the orphanage even though he knew the "mother" sold him in the first place. guess what the mother did! that's right she ran back into the orphanage when she saw him, locked the fucking door and told him to get the fuck away from her. and lato burned the orphanage down.

now onto the new butler trio!

teddy is the one with the most details in his backstory so far. when he was young, he Had a twin brother, and teddy was a far cry from who he is now. he was negative and gloomy compared to his brother, who was positive and talented, and people always favored teddy's brother more. but one day, his brother died protecting him from an angel, but since they were so alike people didn't know whether the one that died was teddy or his brother. and after grieving his brother, teddy decided to become him, and used his brother's name to live on as him so people wouldn't be sad, because "teddy" was the one that died. and that led to teddy forming his personality today. teddy is his actual name though, he started using it after he became a knight. he became a knight because he wanted to protect people from angels.

but during an attack by an intelligent angel, namely seraphim, one of the angels that appeared at the end of chapter 1 and also the major antagonist of the story, teddy's entire unit got killed. at the start of chapter 2.5, he recuperated in a hospital, however he kept terrible nightmares (reliving the massacre, and hearing the voices of his comrades asking him why he abandoned them and why he got to survive) and so didn't sleep at all. he eventually snuck out of the hospital to visit their graves, and then started wondering what the point of him still being alive is. he almost threw himself off a cliff before haures and aruji reached him.

hanamaru. ten years before the story, hanamaru was fleeing from something- he walked all the way from the east to the central, and collapsed in a forest. a nun found him and took him back to a church that doubled as an orphanage. however the nun soon fell ill and died, so hanamaru began taking care of the kids in the church after he was saved by her.

but 5 years later, the church was attacked by angels. he was away from the church when the attack happened, and when he came back, all he saw were angels flying away from the ruined church. only 4 kids survived. hanamaru had a breakdown, and kept kneeling and pressing his head against the ground, saying things like "i couldn't protect them", "i swear ill keep them safe next time", implying this is not the first time something like this has happened. he swore vengeance against the angels that day, that he would never forgive them, and himself. so berrien suspects that the 4 kids that survived were the people that kept hanamaru around. who knows what could've happened if they passed as well...

lastly (finally), yuuhan. at the age of 9, he trained to become a soldier of the sardeis family so he could protect his hometown, and made it after 3 years. he quickly rose up in the ranks, being a prodigy. in the main story, he started doubting his loyalty to the family after they attempted an assassination on the devil butlers. and he betrayed the sardeis family and fell into their trap when investigating forbidden records. he got thrown into jail by the head, and the head decided for his punishment, yuuhan's whole village and everyone he knew there will be burned and killed. he could only despair in jail. in the story, after his prison guard left after serving him food, yuuhan started crying. he called out to his father, his mother, everyone from his hometown, apologizing again and again, believing that it's his fault that they died.

after that, the head, fubuki, paid him a visit. fubuki beat yuuhan up, pushed him to the verge of death, but not grave enough injuries to die. yuuhan asked fubuki to kill him, but fubuki refused. he even says he'll force feed yuuhan till the day of his death execution if necessary. however, yuuhan was rescued by the butlers during his execution. (it took place in a forest with tigers. basically the death penalty is getting eaten by tigers) he became a devil butler after that.

holy shit. also im not typing Bastien's since you can read his backstory from the tls available here.

Mending a Family 26/?

Prev | Next

The first back-to-school meeting happened a month after school started. Jason decided to attend. He wanted to be on top of Danny’s education and ensure everything went smoothly. Parents were encouraged to bring in snacks for the kids.

Jason made chocolate chip cookies. He even made gluten and nut-free ones in case any of the kiddos were allergic.

He entered the school with the cookies and sat them on a table, making sure the labels were correct. Danny ran off to find his friends. Jason smiled. He was glad his son had people to talk to.

Jason turned around and came face-to-face with a blond woman. She was in her mid-thirties and wore a prim suit. She wore a pearl necklace. Three more women dressed similarly were behind her. She looked Jason up and down. He had worn his best pair of jeans, a clean T-shirt, and a leather jacket.

“Hello, my name is Avril Dubois. I’m the president of the PTA. I’ve never seen you here before, are you lost?”

Jason gritted his teeth at her question while she and her cronies laughed.

“No, my name is Jason Nightingale. I’m Danny Nightingale’s father. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” he said while putting out his hand. Avril ignored the hand and gave a look of distaste at it. So what if he still had grease under his nails? Her ignoring the handshake was rude.

“Right, I’ve heard about Danny from my little girl. Where’s his mother,” she asked while looking around. Wow, nosy much?

“She died while giving birth to him. It’s just me, Danny, my sister, and my niece.”

“That poor boy doesn’t know the touch of a mother’s love. It must be hard for you, especially since you’re so…young,” she sneered at the word young.

Judgmental to boot, she was the whole package.

“Don’t worry, I give my son enough love for two people.”

“Still, being a single must be tough. Well, I’ll talk to you later. Or maybe not. Ta-ta.”

Jason was glad to see the women leave.

He looked for Danny and saw him talking to a group of kids. Jason smiled once more, feeling how happy Danny was, which made Jason feel so much better about his decision to send him to school.

“Say goodbye for now, Danny. The assembly is about to start, then we can go to your classroom, and you can show me around.”

“Okay, daddy. Bye guys, see you later.”

Jason sat through the meeting assembly. It was a bit boring, but he was glad to see how the school operated. Danny was busy playing with a 6x6 Rubik’s cube. After the assembly, Jason went to Danny’s classroom, where he officially met the teacher.

Mrs. Duma was a friendly, middle-aged teacher who had been teaching for seventeen years. She spoke about how well-behaved and smart Danny was. His best subject was math, and Mrs. Duma had to print 12th-grade-level worksheets to keep him entertained. Well, that made sense.

 Jason couldn’t help but preen at the compliments Danny got.

Then Avril Dubois came up.

“Mrs. Duma, it’s nice to see you again.”

“Mrs. Dubois, what a pleasure to have you as a parent to one of my students again,” Mrs. Duma said through clenched teeth. Aw, it wasn’t just Jason who didn’t like the woman.”

“Excuse me,” Jason left the two women and looked for his little boy. He was showing a little blonde girl with glasses his Rubik's cube.

“Daddy, this is my friend, Sarah.”

“Hello, Sarah, I’m Danny’s dad, Jason.”

“Hi,” the little girl said shyly.

“Wanna see our drawings, daddy?”

Danny showed Jason his paintings. They were good. Then he showed them the models he had built. He knew his little boy was talented with his hands, but some of the things he had built looked very advanced. Hmm, maybe Jason should invest in buying Danny more things to build.

Seeing the models, he knew Danny would love working on the car with him.

“Mommy, look what I drew,” Jason looked up to see Sarah talking to Avril. The little girl was being ignored by her mom as she talked to a group of moms. Now that Jason paid attention, the little girl looked like a miniature version of Avril. The poor girl was shooed away from her mom without getting any acknowledgment.

His heart went out to her.

Danny went to Sarah, “Is everything okay,” he asked.

“Yeah,” the little girl answered, “mommy is just busy.”

“Can I see,” Jason asked. The little girl brightened at having an adult’s attention. It was a good painting.

“Wow, kiddo, that looks great!”

The little girl smiled, showing her missing teeth.

“Sarah, what have I told you about speaking to strangers?”

Avril took her little girl’s hand, ignoring the squeak of surprise she gave.

“Listen, I don’t know what your game is or how you were able to put your child in this school, but I would appreciate it if you don’t speak to my child.”

“Lady, Danny is Sarah’s friend. He was introducing me to her. Maybe if you paid more attention to your child, she wouldn’t be talking to strangers.”

The woman honest to God clutched her pearls, “How dare you? Come, Sarah.”

“Bye, Danny,” the little girl said while being dragged along.

“Is everything okay, daddy?”

“Yeah, ignore her. She’s a b—not a nice person.”

Thankfully, the rest of the parents weren’t like Avril and her little clique. They all seemed to welcome Jason.

At the end of the meeting, Jason went to sign up for the PTA.

“Are you sure you want to do this,” the woman scoffed, “We meet every two weeks. I’m sure you’re busy doing other things. We also engage with the school and teachers. Fundraisers, school activities, things like that.”

Jason smiled at the woman as he signed his name, “When’s the first meeting?”

Jason had a new nemesis. Her name? Avril Dubois.

Someone suggested that Jason has a PTA-style rivalry, but I cannot for the life of me find the comment to give the credit. So, to whoever suggested this, thank you! Anyway, now that we have Avril, does anyone want to see anything between the rivalry between the two?

Acts unmasked -3

Ellie's demand and Jazz's appearance.

------

A03 Prev Master

Danny had no idea how to handle this situation. Ellie was already spread out on a bed taking claim of the television in the room. She seemingly didn’t want to talk about any of this.

On top of that, the room just was covered in windows looking into space. Did he first thing figure out how to open the blinds of the windows? Yes. But really. How could he not? It was space.

He should just close them again.

Danny needed to explain to Ellie what was going on. The cover story and everything she needed to know. He couldn’t have her call him phantom and she definitely had to be told she was princess. Why did he put her? That was just messed up. Telling random people on the off chance they may help. He’s lucky it didn’t seemingly make matters work. He just had to break it to her.

Where was Jazz??

She could handle this way better than him. She’d know how to break this news. Danny was an awful choice in that regard. Obviously, he just rushed into things. He would just not say anything. Not until jazz was here.

“Danny? What are you hiding? You have that look in your eyes and are pacing” Ellie questioned.

“Nothing” the raised eyebrow only confirmed he spoke too quickly.

“What are you hiding,” she asked while leaving behind the bed and clicking off the remote.

“It’s not important.”

“Then tell me.”

“Did you know astronauts in space age 0.007 seconds slower than people on Earth for every half hour they spend in space... I’m pretty sure that applies to us as well.”

“Danny”

He just had to steer her away. “What about the fact there are more trees on Earth than stars in the sky”

“Dannnnyy”

Maybe Tucked was right, space facts don’t distract. Bits and pieces. That’s what he’ll give. He just doesn’t have to mention the princess part of the being sold part. “I’m just stressed. I told them I was the ambassador. I don’t even know what those do. Now I don’t know what’s going to happen here. We can’t let them know I’m king. What if they use that against us? Please don’t tell them”

“Why”

“I may have insinuated… that the realm was ready to destroy this universe. Which I mean it is. But like. They don’t need to know who exactly the king is….” Perfect cover!!

“Hmmmm. That’s really all??” asked with uncertainty.

“Totally. It’s not like you were sold to the government or anything. That would be utterly ridiculous.” Why did that come out of his mouth?

“They did wWHAT?!?” Ectoplasm inching its way out.

Heck. No. This wasn’t good. Her reserves couldn’t handle any dump.

“I… ummm. Did say. It’s not like…” his defense well he didn't have one.

“You’re an awful liar. We all know this.” Her face hardened “They aren’t getting away with this”

He knew that look. It’s the same one she had right before the attack on the box ghost. No no no no. He had to stop this before she could do anything.

“I already did. The acts get revoked, Jack and Maddie punished, and the guys in white punished” he really hoped she reacted well to the last tad bit “and. Well. Jazz is going to be your guardian.”

He was just going to explain that part. Hopefully, that will work and give her other things to think about.

“you need a guardian and actual identification. We can make them do all that for us. No risking Tucker going to jail for making a fake identity. Jazz and I have always wanted you to actually stay with us. That’s why the apartment is two bedrooms. Jazz was always gonna stay on campus.”

It’s at least calming her tone somewhat. Ellie has always been hard to read.

“My travels I’m no-“

“No. I won’t stop you. But maybe it can be a group thing. On the weekends or something. No more traveling around all alone.”

“Promise me. No more hidden plans, be straight with me”

Danny hesitated at that. He really didn’t want to promise that, not when he is still keeping secrets from her. He had gotten this far without causing his little sister to go on a rampage. Maybe he should just be straight with her.

With a sigh, he decided to take Jazz’s advice late.

“There’s one more thing. I should have told you a long time ago. Back when the transfer happened…. That procedure made you a member of the royal family. It made you” his gut was twisting at the Addison. “Well.. it um.. it made you the princceeesss…”

“It what”

Oh no. That was anger.

“You expect me to just accept that. Just to go oh alright. Why wasn’t I TOLD. Why want I warned? And YOU expect me to keep your secret. If the so-called ambassador can make a demand. I’m sure the actual apparent PRINces can.”

With that, she phased out the door. Danny rushed after her.

“ELLIE stop!!”

He was running in a thing called the watchtower. In space. With the view apparent, already losing sight of Ellie. She had the advantage and was using her powers. Which also was harmful to her. It would make her recovery time even worse.

He should have expected someone to stop him. This was an apparent superhero thing in space. But running gave first onto the green-skinned man. That wasn’t on his bingo list.

“My apologies, I was not expecting you to round the corner so fast. My name is Martian Manhunter. I’ve come to be of assistant”

“No. I just have to find her; she she ran off. I can’t find her. This place is too big. I don’t know what to do”?

“She’s made herself known in the conference room. I’d be more than happy to escort you there.”

His heart was pounding and his mind was racing. What was Ellie going to do? He had carefully on the spot figured out his. All things the council had brought up in those awful meetings. What chaos would she unleash?

So instead of speaking anymore. He just nodded and let himself be led on. This guy wasn’t human, Danny just felt like he could trust him.

By the time they were in the conference room. Ellie had transformed.

She transformed.

Out of all the things she could do. Did she not feel how depleted her reserves were?

No the worst thing she was doing. Was turning her head and smirking right at him.

“I’ll tell you my demand.” He could feel the tension. Hell. He didn’t even know what she wanted. “For me not to tattle to the” her smirk getting larger and looking straight at him “ghost king. I demand a puppy”

“Danielle phantom don-“

“Where did the last name phantom come from” stressing the next word “Daniel.”

“Danielle. You can’t just run off like that. Not just decide to make a demand. What if the apartment doesn’t allow pets? Does Jazz even want a puppy?”

“It’s a puppy or I tell the king everything. Even about the missile”

Danny had only mentioned that about a month ago at the last meet-up. The story about the GIW and the anti-ecto missile. How they barely stopped it. That he had to convince Skulker and Johnny not to eat them out to the council. No way they’d ignore the missile being launched even if it hadn’t hit.

“You can’t just blackmail yourself a puppy.”

“And you apparently can’t have a conversation about the consequences of a certain procedure. Can you mister Ambassador” At least she’s playing that part along? He could do without the questions this was arising.

This really needed to be done in a room without the eyes. He swears some of these people actually seemed amused at this.

“Neither of us asked for our positions in the court. Can we please have a private conversation about this”

“And we can talk about how you blew up the portal back in amity.” Now she was just trying to get their attention on him.

“Everyone knows not to be around the lab. The great hot dog revolution scared them all away. Blowing up the portal was our best bet. I couldn’t trust my wack job donors with it”

“And let’s not forget about your government lab break-ins. How many of those have you led.”

“Danielle. Please stop. Let’s not sit out my dirty laundry for everyone to see.”

“It’s only fair. You outed me as a princess” Her eyes were glowing, and she was floating even higher.

“I panicked. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want this position. But no, the realm choose me. We were in a bad situation. The only hope was those three on the roof. Two of them death touched. All I could do was try and attract their attention. What better way than to subtle threaten”?

“Then I get to demand a puppy I’ll claim I panicked as a reason.”

He felt it before the signs became apparent. She was maybe only floating a foot or two above the table. But her little to no signature dropped.

Trench coat man could definitely tell something was up. The way his eyes zoned into her.

Danny didn’t hesitate. Jumping on the table to grab Ellie as she de-transformed catching her as she passed out.

Well.

All eyes were on him.

“Umm. You guys. Can we like continue or something? Or we’ll. I’m sure there is something you want to ask. I can probably maybe possibly answer. Ummm. But like she’s out”

“Is the universe actually being threatened?” one of the green ones asked. He had a mask on. But there were two of these people.

“I mean yea. Like. You guys opened a portal into the realm, inviting criminals and stuff to the mortal plane. The portal opened in a bad spot. It’s not their fault humans are squishy. Ellie was strapped down to a table. Plus like the realm already didn’t like you guys. Something about stolen pools of ectoplasm and apparently previous summons. The whole mind-control rock thing I destroyed. That also didn’t help your guys case.”

“You do realize I have to report this to oa” he spoke again. Clearly not directed at him. Seeing as he looked everywhere but the middle of the conference table he was sitting on.

“Who exactly is that? Too many people already know about the realm. Mortals really aren’t meant to know we exist.”

“They are the heads of the lantern cr-”

“That means nothing to me. Let’s assume I know nothing and no one. I didn’t even know this league existed up until like what 4ish hours ago.”

He really didn’t need these looks right now.

“I didn’t choose to be born to mad scientists who sold my sister to the government to be experimented on. Don’t blame me for not being allowed to watch the news. Who are you to try to get tied up in this mess”?

The way they were looking at him was just complete shock. Who knew the news mattered so much to people?

“Essentially intergalactic cops”

“Yea no”

“It’s bad enough you lot know about the realms. I don’t want cops involved. The less the better. Humans are nosy enough. We don’t need other species aware of us.

The gods of this realm, members of the afterlife, and the extreme occultists know of our existence. Do you know how many times people have attempted to summon the master of time?

One was too much. This realm is already nosy don’t make it even nosier.

If they show up here, I’m out. Good luck with the council on your own. They’re more destructive and deader than me. If you absolutely have to tell them. I don t want to know. No cops around me or my sisters.

And in case anyone forgot. I am the one who unfortunately helps decides this universe's fate.”

It was so silent I’m the room you could hear a pin drop. Or in this case the mumbling of the trench coat man “Bloody hell there are three of them” grabbed his attention.

The door opened to reveal Black Bat and most importantly it was Jazz.

***

“Danny. Are you guys, okay?”

Danny didn’t verbally answer her. Looking over at him she wasn’t surprised. He looked exhausted and was desperately avoiding the open windows. His obsession must have kicked in.

She was even more concerned with the fact Ellie was passed out on top of him. Breathing far less than how she normally did. Given her need to breathe was more or less not needed it wasn’t too concerning, just showed how she wasn’t hiding her out non-human nature.

Black bat had informed her of the princess status being revealed, jazz certainly hoped that wasn’t the reason for them being active. She shouldn’t have spent all that time in pandoras haunt discussing ways to find Danny and Ellie. They all feared the worst when the explosion occurred, and they were met with radio silence.

Jazz had pandoras personal summons. Rather than discuss in her cramped dorm she had gone with Pandora.

Only to return after Frostbite came to tell her he was in Gotham to find a vigilante in her dorm room.

Black Bat also mentioned Danny claimed to be an ambassador. Jazz had the feeling that she knew he lied and was telling her to keep it up.

“Why are you sitting on a table with Ellie passed out on you?”

“She overused her reserves.”

“Let’s get the two of you out of here. They have a room from what I understand of the situation.”

“Yes, they do” the Martian manhunter replied “I’d be happy to assist you three.”

Jazz looked over at him. Tilting her head just a smudge. Danny shook his head no; the alien was not a ghost in disguise. She tiled it the other way. Danny nodded yes. He did actually trust him enough that he wouldn’t kill them off the bat.

She was aware they all knew they had a secret conversation. She also didn’t care. Her priority was getting these two safe and sound.

“No. You can help those two to the room. I’m sure black bat would be willing to take me in a second. My siblings are clearly exhausted, and I have a few things that need to be said.”

As her little siblings left. The tension grew as she turned away from the door and towards the crowd of supposed heroes. She didn’t give any of them a chance to speak.

“Let me make one thing straight. I don’t care who you are or what power you have. Danny may control your fate with the realm. But you mess with him, and you deal with me, and I will go straight to Pandora.

She can convince the king otherwise. He trusts her judgment.

Neither Danny nor Ellie accepted their position. Both were tricked or forced into them.

Danny does his best.

Imagine being thrown into a world where he makes new allies, and some enemies then has to keep a race that thrives of destruction. Have no concept of death anymore and are way stronger than humans. He keeps them from destroying amity.

Then he had to stop the guys in white and the nutjobs that gave birth to us from killing and dissecting these beings.

I know he gave you, his demands. Frostbite is aware as well” aware Danny was going to give some. Not that they needed that information. “Just do what Danny wants. He doesn’t need to be involved anymore; you know what needs to happen. Just do it. Don’t get others involved and they’ll be no problems. Danny may not want his position.”

Time to seal the deal.

“But he is one hell of an ambassador.”

With that, she followed black bat to her siblings.

Heyyy

Idk if you have request rules, but i was wondering id you could write a father Aizawa (platonic obviously) in which hr got called by his daughter's school becase she got involved in a fight with a group of bullies.

Like she got tired of seeing the bullies do whatever they wanted so she confront them and it ended up in a bad fight.

So how he arrives school and she has a bad bruise in her face but then she explains him everything.

Thanks :)

Aizawa x Daughter Reader: Fight

Reader is Eri’s age so let’s say 7-8 ish.

Reader goes to school with Eri and is in the same class as her. Reader sees Eri as her adoptive little sister and is very protective of her.

Reader is Aizawa’s biological daughter. She was made by Giraki in a test tube using Aizawa’s DNA as well as others. Reader was found with the league and after getting separated from them in Kamino, the heroes caught her and her past was revealed. Aizawa decided that since he would take her in due to (being ordered by the police and HPSC) her being his daughter.

Reader absolutely loves him and has a slightly off sense of justice. She’s always saying that her daddy is super strong as she refers to his biceps. She wants to be just like her dad.

When Eri started to go to school with (y/n), Eri was super shy and had a hard enough time communicating and getting over her shyness, it didn’t help when the bullies turned their attention towards her

The reader isn’t someone who lets other’s hurt the people they care about. They’ll fight for others but not themselves.

One day, the reader noticed the bullies picking on Eri and the reader used her quirk (it’s erasure just like Aizawa) to intimidate the bullies and uses her scary aura to make them leave.

This had gone on for quite some time, Eri and reader didn’t want to tell Aizawa because they both know how tired he is and they didn’t want to add more to his plate.

The bullies would make fun of Eri’s horn, call her names, insult her and their dads, (Aizawa and Present Mic, since Mic has dropped the girls off and picked them up some assume that Mic and Aizawa are the girl’s dads) they’ll harass Eri and pull her hair, use their quirks on her when adults aren’t looking and recently they started messing with Eri’s stuff, ruining her books and stealing her lunch or dumping it

Reader had had enough after a few months and decided that these bullies were villains.

The reader got in a fist fight with the bullies leading to the bullies (one with a black eye, one lost a few baby teeth, and the third sprained their wrist) to be relatively unscathed with only a couple scraps and bruises. The reader was less lucky and had lost a few teeth, broke two fingers, had a few nasty cuts and one really deep one, a black eye and various bruises and scratches and a very minor concussion from falling and hitting her head

When Aizawa got the call he wasn’t expecting to see his daughter in the condition she was in. He asked Eri what happened since reader was unconscious

When Eri told Aizawa what happened he immediately asked why they didn’t tell him anything. When Aizawa learned that the girls didn’t want to add any stress to his life by telling him, he told Eri that she should have told him and that finding out this way is much more stressful than them telling him.

Needless to say, Dadzawa gave the teachers, principal, and the bullies parents a stern talking to.

When reader woke up after Recovery Girl healed her injuries, Aizawa had a talk with her. He told he that he was proud of her standing up for Eri, but that she’s still going to be punished since she threw the first punch. He told her that violence doesn’t solve anything but that she should have told him earlier to avoid this

After that, Aizawa gave the reader a hug and that night, Eri and reader got to have their favorite foods for dessert and dinner

Under The Graveyard (Petyr x Chubby Reader)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Having practically raised your younger brother Nick, you were always interested in meeting his friends. Though when you meet his literal savior, you can't help but be curious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey guys, I'm back at it again. I recently rewatched this movie and remembered how much I loved Petyr. His lack of fanfiction is an upset to the monster lover community. Anyways I hope you enjoy.

---------------------------------------------------------

Nick sighed heavily as he balanced the phone between his ear and shoulder. “I already told you, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to meet them. They are vampires after all.”

You sassily copied his tone. “And I think I should. For God’s sake one of them kept you from dying.” A sudden hiss comes from his side of the phone. You winced in sympathy. “Sorry buddy, I forget about the new quirks. Anywho, I always want to be a part of your life.”

Slumping against a nearby wall, he rubbed at his temple. “I want you to, I just worry about you around them.”

You suddenly pepped up. “Then it’s settled. I’ll be over tomorrow night. I can’t wait to meet everyone.”

Nick gaped down at the phone. You had a way of always doing what you thought was best for him. But this time he really thought you were making a mistake. Shaking his head, he decided that the important thing was to get over to the other’s place. He needed to set some ground rules and talk to his sire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The house was filled with yelling and clatters. Viago faced the camera crew. “It seems Nick's sister is coming over.” Another bang sounded through the hall, causing him to wring his hands together. “Deacon is unhappy with Nick's decision to bring another ‘off limits' human into the house.”

The two men suddenly floated into the room, tumbling over one another in the process. They batted at each other and threw insults back and forth.

“It isn't your place to make the rules. You’re just a baby.” Deacon was basically frothing at the mouth. It wasn’t fair that Nick always got his way. He was the new fledgling, so he was last in the pecking order.

“But she's family. Besides you guys love Stu, so what's to say you won’t like her too.” He flung his hands into the air in exasperation.

This caused Deacon to pause. Stu was a great addition to their group. Even if he did come with the disappointment of Nick. "I’ll see when she gets here.” Then he stormed away to his room.

Viago clapped his hands together excitedly. “Perfect, I'll let Vladislav know when he gets home. You just need to let Petyr know.” He gave the documentary crew a nervous glance and left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Petyr wasn’t a stranger to other beings having a hard time with him. They thought that his age made him this monster. That was why he found Nick refreshing. He didn't treat him differently than his other housemates. So when he came down to ask for a favor, he had to admit he was interested.

“So you know how Stu is great and all?” Pausing he watched the older vampire. Continuing only after a nod was given. “ Well my sister is coming over and I don’t want her to get eaten either.”

Petyr stared at him with confusion. This would be another off limits human. Perhaps he picked a weak fledgling.

“I know. I told her not to come, but she insisted. Something about meeting my new friends and savior.”

This made him all the more interested in what the boy had to say. He was 8000 years old, but he may still have a bit of an ego.

“So do you think you can let her meet you and live?” He winced as he waited for his sire to shriek in his face. Though his scrunched posture relaxed when the older vampire only nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night had come. Viago had dressed for guest as usual, surprisingly so had Deacon. They had told Petyr that he would be fetched after the other introductions were made. Even though you seemed excited to meet them, they knew that he was in a league of his own. It wasn’t every day you came into contact with a vampire that old.

Vlad rolled his eyes as his dandy roommate fussed over pillows on the couch. This was a one time incident. They would reassure the sister that Nick was in good hands and she would leave happy. Simple as that.

At least that was the idea. When Nick brought you in you were the epitome of warm and comforting.

“Now boys I know you don’t eat in the conventional way, but I did think of a different gift. “ You pulled a large spray bottle from you bag. “This is a homemade fabric cleaner, it especially works well on stubborn blood stains. And don’t worry about the ingredients, Nicky told me what to avoid.”

This made Viago particularly excited. He hurried over to you and asked all about the fine details. Nick joined the other two vampires as you shared cleaning secrets.

“Are you sure she’s not actually your mother?” Vlad elbowed the fledgling .

He shook his head, but had a smile on her face. “She might as well be. We have a pretty big age gap, but when my parents died she took me in. No questions ask, just said she wouldn't have it any other way.”

This made Deacon shift uneasily. He had been planning to seduce you. If he couldn't eat you, then the best revenge would be to fuck you. But seeing the kind of person you were, it was making him second guess it.

You both rejoined the group. “Now that the gift is out of the way.” You put your hand out to the other two men. “I'm (Y/N), nice to meet you.”

Viago gave them an encouraging nod from behind you. It seemed you had already won him over. Vlad sighed and put his hand out. Your grip was much stronger than he would have expected.

“Tell me human. What has given you such strong hands.”

Your smile brightened at the comment. “I’m a substitute teacher and librarian at the local primary school. I guess you could say that wrestling kids into their seats most days keeps you strong.”

He too gave an approving nod towards you. If you could keep the demons that were small children in line. You must be a formidable foe.

Turning to the last member of the group, you found that his hand was already extended. Placing yours into it, you were surprised when he shifted it and brought your knuckles to his lips. “I can’t believe that Nick was hiding such a voluptuous beauty from us.”

Another surprise, but noticing the sneer Nick threw his way. You thought that this must be the Deacon he complained about so much. “As nice as the compliment is. I have a feeling that this is a disingenuous attempt just to get under Nicky's skin.” You pat his shocked face and grabbed your brother's hand. “I think that one more introduction is in order.”

He nodded and lead you to the basement door.

The rest of the vampires looked on in differing levels of shock. Until Viago broke the silence. “She is quite interesting.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The anticipation and excitement you had for encountering such an ancient being was making your heart race. You hadn’t blinked an eye at Nick revealing his condition to you. Your dream of being a librarian, at a young age, has always left you with a curious and creative mind. Thus legends and lore was an early interest for you. So it wasn’t an odd thing at how you were drawn to Petyr. And it seemed the feeling was mutual.

When his eyes laid on your form, he was taken aback. He had a hunger alight in him that he hadn’t felt in centuries. Your soft plush body was one that belonged in an oil painting. He would proudly hang it above the fireplace and admire it for hours.

Putting out a hand, to becon you over, he was bewildered when you took it in your own. You shook it with a bashful look on your flushed full face.

“I wanted to thank you for taking care of my little Nicky here. I don’t know what I would do if he wasn’t in my life. Is there anything I can do to ever repay you?”

In all his years on earth, he wasn’t sure he had ever had a more frustrating experience. His voice had escaped him some centuries ago. Now was the time he despised this fact the most. He wanted to speak sweet words to you. Tell you that for such an enchantress, he would hand you the world on a platter. For now though, he could only shake his head and give you what was hopefully a reassuring smile.

You deflated a bit, but perked back up as you looked around. “Let me tidy up the place. To be honest, this place is almost as messy as Nicky's room is secondary school.” You were already organizing things and picking up random bones.

He couldn't stop the purr of delight that rumbled in his chest. This was just what he needed to brighten his undead life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before coming across the group of vampires, you would have never guess this was what they would be like. You would have thought that it was more like a dark supernatural novel. Where as it was more like wrangling your usual young group of students. Still it was such a fun addition to your life.

The time you spent with Petyr was always the highlight of any visit. Some would think that communication would be am issue. But working with non-verbal children in the past made it easier than anticipated.

The conversation you had were never stilted or awkward. You filled the silence, while he would gesture and make slightly garbled noises. Still the pleasantness of the time you spent together was wonderful.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His life was the best it had been in years. Your company breathed a new joy into his undead life. If you shone brighter or were any warmer, he would worry that he would burn in your mere presence.

He had considered using your brother to invite you over. But there was no need, you came willingly and often. Their group welcomed you in with no qualms. Even taking you out on the town every so often. It was a time they wanted to give you to relax and let loose. He found it highly amusing when you would make your way down and ramble about whatever came to your mind. He even got Nick and Deacon to move a couch to the basement. So you would be comfortable if you couldn't make it home after a night out. Though it seemed more often than not you would end up spending the weekend on the basement couch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then an unfortunate series of events caused you to become a permanent resident of the house.

It was early one morning. You had fallen asleep on your usual couch in the basement. Until the sound of glass breaking startled you awake. Jolting up, you squinted into the dark room. Everything was still and quiet. Then a mumbling follow by a crunch came from the only window in the room.

Eyes darting around, they finally found a bone on the floor. In this moment you couldn't have been more thankful that Petyr wanted to keep a few around. Gripping it tightly in your shaking hands, you positioned yourself next to his coffin. Taking in a deep shaky breath, you noticed a shadow blocking the first trickles of morning light filtering through. This made your pulse skyrocket. Steeling yourself, you shifted your hands into a better position and charged.

The fight that ensued was more of a jumble of limbs and grunting. Then he got the upper hand. Pinning you to the ground, he slowly pressed a wooden stake into your chest. But it seemed he hadn't been at this for long, he pierced your lung rather that the heart.

In a moment of agony you called out to Petyr. He heard the pained cry and burst from his crypt. Screeching at the sight before him, he ripped the head from the man’s shoulders. Taking you into his arms, he began to weap.

You placed a trembling hand to his face. “Stay away from the light.” It came out in a quiet garble.

He shook his head and bellowed for the other vampires to come help. Even in your most desperate times you were still concerned for others.

As everyone rushed to your side, you felt your eyes close.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The camera zooms in on a blurry image, after a bit of fiddling it focuses. You and Petyr are in chairs placed next to one another. Your hands are linked and you smile, showing your newly acquired fangs.

“So it’s official, we’re together.” Glancing over at him, your smile softened.

He was already looking at you with a gentle expression. Giving your hand a squeeze, he relaxed into his seat.

Getting up from your chair, you pulled him along with you. “Now if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got some coffin shoping to do.”

Okay so - my request is basically the reader is a child whose family was murdered and I just want the slayers to adopt the child, human pet

NO pedophilia if anyone's wondering that's gross and you should leave 😍😍😍

SLASHER TAKING CARE

OF A CHILD READER

CONTENT:

Rz! Michael Myers - Jason Voorhees - Bo, Lester and Vincent Sinclair - Asa Emory -

Tw: canon violence, mentions of cannibalism, murder,blood, probably mention of child abuse or neglecting (not from the slashers), reader is a kid so obviously this is a strictly father figure relationship,

A/N: hiya!! As always thank you for leaving a request^^. This is such a cute idea♡♡ I actually think most of the slasher could've been super nice fathers if they didn't you know, chose crime as a lifestyle. Baby reader is going to grow up unhinged as them but at least it will be fun. AS THIS LOVELY PERSON SAID, THIS IS STRICTLY PLATONIC. IF YOU TRY TO BE GROSS AND/OR REQUEST ME ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES A MATURE RELATIONSHIP WITH AN UNDERAGE READER I WILL FUCKING BLOCK YOU.

MICHAEL MYERS:

Funnily enough he wasn't the one who killed your parents. Haddonfield is that wild even when it's not Michael making it wild 

Now, you're like literally a child so obviously all you were able to do was just hiding while the intruder in your house killed your parents 

You're going to grow so messed up I'm so so sorry-

Your family wasn't like super liked by other people in haddonfield and your parents tended to piss off everyone that interacted with them 

Your neighbours are used to your parents arguing ecc so they don't really think something bad has happened 

So no one realise you're alone in the house with your dead parents bodies

And you're, again, just a child so you don't really know what the fuck are you supposed to do

Yeah you have a pretty shitty childhood, I'm sorry. 

But fear not cause the boogeyman has come to save you

He broke into the house thinking he was going to find someone to kill and the disappointment was real and intense when he saw someone has already done the job

He decided to just go to the kitchen and try to find something to eat since no one was there to stop him

To be fucking honest the whole house reminded him a lot of his own and that was starting to creep him out

When he saw you in the kitchen he went stiff 

Connecting the dots he assumed you were the couple's child 

Michael Myers doesn't kill kids and we all know that. 

I headcanon it's because kids haven't done anything to anyone yet, they're too young to be bad. He takes his anger on adults and teenagers cause that's the age group of people who has let him down most of the time

You remind him of Boo so much and you kind of remind him of himself too 

When you saw him you told him that you're parents were sleeping so if he was a friend of them he needed to wait

That if he wanted to you could keep him company while he waited

You obviously didn't know what happen or you were just coping with death as your child brain was able to 

He should've guess that cause he did saw a blanket on the bodies 

That, the fact that you remind him of boo, the house remind him of his childhood and overall all of the shitty things were enough for him to want to keep you

Congrats, now the shape of haddonfield is your dad 

He's gonna get rid of the bodies of your parents without you noticing so you both can live there 

One could think he's going to be distant at first or either way it would be hard for him to like get used to you

WRONG. 

He feels like he just went back in time to when he still was able to hold his little sister. 

He knows that you probably feel really scared and confused right now so he tries to reassure you and make you feel safe as much as possible 

You're the only person to who he will show so much affection 

He never loses sight of you and if you go outside he's always watching you and keeping an eye on anything or anyone that could hurt you

The Boo title has been passed to you now. 

Even if you remind him of laurie, the boo nickname has a special place for him and it's give only to the ones he loves 

You're hid boo now but for a different kind of reason laurie was 

It's the kind of dad that says you have to sleep alone but then lets you sleep next to him anyways 

He absolutely loves playing with you and spending time doing things like drawings and masks ecc

Speaking of, he doesn't wear a mask when he's around you

Allows you to play with his hair 

He makes sure you're getting all your meals so he either steals food from the grocery store or steals from the victims

He really tries so hard to earn your love and to be a somewhat good parent figure 

He doesn't want you to stay just because you're scared, he wants you to feel like you're not alone and you have someone to protect you

He has instructed you to say his your uncle so you can keep going to school and everything without people being suspicious about a giant man following you around

Again, people believes the lie cause your parents weren't that great so they all think they just have left you or some shit 

Anything you bring him from school he's keeping it like it's the most important thing ever

He eventually learns how to cook dw

He loves any nickname you give him. His favourite being Mike but if call him uncle mickey he's gonna melt on the floor

You're such a positive presence in his life. He tries to take more care of himself because he knows you need him 

He hopes that when you'll be older you won't hate him when you find out who he really is

That would break his heart like literally 

And he tries his best to not let you become like him. He could never forgive himself if you 

JASON VOORHEES:

I want jason to be my dad

He would be the best dad in the world

As soon as he saw you he was like "OH NO YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE" 

the fact that you were not scared of him? 10/10

The moment you looked at him smiling and asking him if he wanted to play with you because you didn't know where your parents were he knew he was taking you home with him

He made you wait somewhere safe where you wouldn't be able to see what was going to happen 

Awkward moment for the future when he will have to tell you he killed your parents

He had to, besides in his head he justifies the whole thing by saying that if they were really good parents they wouldn't have brought you here and left you alone

Jason would be absolutely adores you and Pamela does to

His whole attention is always on you. Like he could never get tired of spending time together or listen to anything you want to tell him

He is going to childproof the cabin and will make sure that you never go outside without him next to you

HE IS SUCH A MOTHER HEN 

you can't even like trip over something that he's already fussing over you as if you're about to die

And when he sees you giggling at his concern he just shakes his head as if he was scolding you "Don't laugh y/n!! This is a serious matter right here!! You could've lost your leg!" 

Him doing that only makes you laugh more and he can't really get mad at you so he just tickles you as a punishment for making him worry

Someone said cuddles? Cause Jason is sure someone has said it

Seriously, you don't even have to give him a reason to get a hug from him. As soon as you reach your tiny arms to him he's already picking you up and holding you close 

Jason doesn't really need to be strict or serious to make you listen. Like he has such a gentle and effective parenting style 

He treats you like Pam used to treat him

The first time you called him dad he could've sworn he was about to die. 

You woke up from a nightmare and went straight to Jason's room crying

He was immediately awake and going towards you thinking you were hurt of something 

You weren't calling him Jason but papa and if he hadn't been so worried he would've cry from happiness 

The next day he thought you called him papa by accident so he didn't really expect for you to keep calling him that all the time

Every time you do he just picks you up and gives you lots of smooches all over the face 

He knows you're eventually going to find the truth about what he has done and he still does but he hopes that maybe by then he had convinced you how much he actually cares for you and how important you are for him

SINCLAIR BROTHERS:

As I stated on one of my last post I like the idea of Bo having the temper of an unhinged gremlin but I do not find it actually makes sense 

That being said 

Bo has never NEVER had a doubt that he was going to save you when you and your parents ended up in ambrose 

truth be told, if he knew you were there he would've let your parents go. Not even Lester noticed you

He didn't notice you were there until it was too late.

Your parents told you to stay in the car while they looked for Bo. You fell asleep waiting and when you woke up you were bore out of your mind so you decided to just take a walk around since it was a fairly small town

You got distracted looking around the house of wax

Vincent was the one that found you

When you saw him you just waved at him smiling brightly as you introduced yourself and promising that you didn't touch anything and you were just waiting for your parents to be back

"Mum and dad were looking for someone to help them with the fun..fen.. mmmh uh! Yes, the fan belt!!" 

Achievement unlocked: obliterate Vinny's will to live 

God if he felt like a monster now 

He kept you company and played with you while thinking how the fuck he was going to fix this mess

He sure wasn't going to kill you. At cost of making Bo mad he was not going to turn you into wax

You were the sweetest kid ever. Complimenting him for his hair, his masks and once you figured out for his art

When it started to get late in picked you up and went to look out for Bo with you

When Bo saw you he immediately knew what was going on

Both brothers agreed to not harm you in anyway and that meant not telling you about your parents too

Bo had to tell muster the courage and put on use his ability to lie to make up the most believable excuse he could find

He told you that he found out your parents were distant family they didn't knew about, that they had received a urgent call for something really important and had asked him and Vincent to take care of you until they come back

fortunately for him, as soon as he said he was family, you gave him your blind trust and believed everything he had said

So now you stayed with them

When victims are coming into town you stay with your "uncle" Lester out of ambrose. You spend those days playing board games with him, playing with jonesy and eating way too many sweets for vinny and bo's liking

Those are your favourite days and obv Lester is kind of your fav uncle 

Bo never said it openly but he was just over the moon with you. 

He doesn't like to play board games but loves to spend his free time playing hide and seek, tag and other games like this

He always lets you win but without making it too obvious 

He loves cooking with you and you're the only one he allows to listen him sing (see my post about bo singing) only because it makes you super happy 

He would be the one giving you rules and making sure you follow them cause he knows that if he doesn't his brothers are going to basically ruin you

That's the only reason he's not your fav uncle 

He's nothing like his parents and when he has to correct your behaviour his surprisingly patient 

He knows that sometimes you can be overwhelmed by big emotions and that is hard to behave even when you really want to so he's gonna do the best he can to tell call you out when you're not being good in a nice a respectful way

Even though at the end of the day he's going to spoil you rotten too cause he still feels guilty about knowing the truth of what he has done. Your parents weren't even that bad 

Vinny is going to encourage your creative side in any way possible. He genuinely has so much fun doing crafts with you 

Everything you do is going to be put where everyone can see it in the house of wax, that's how proud he is of your work

He makes sure you don't go down his workshop when there's someone that needs to be turned into wax. And when there's no one he childproof everything so you can spend time with him doing anything you together 

I'm sorry but Bo would put you in a child leash- 

HE JUST DOESN'T WANT YOU TO GO RUNNING AROUND AND RISKING TO HURT YOURSELF

All of them are super protective of you and do the best to give you education and cover all your basic needs

Everytime you mention your parents all of them avoid your gaze and just straight up change the subject of conversation 

When you'll eventually find out it's gonna be heartbreaking so they just enjoy spending time with you while they can 

ASA EMORY:

I feel the need to remind you to never, under any circumstances, give this man a child. Please, just- don't. 

Now let's give him the responsibility of raising us, shall we? ♡

I know I KNOW that he was about to kill the kid in the first movie but I CAN FIX HIM. I CAN MAKE A FATHER OUT OF HIM

Initially I wanted to do Thomas but I just like to make my life harder than what it should be 

So Asa as a dad (you see what I did there right?) 

You were probably the kid of one of the families he targeted. 

Listen, I'm going to self insert here cause I want to have a father that is actually there too 

He first saw you while doing his fake "disinfestation" job at your parents house 

Your parents were that type of parents who wouldn't even notice if their kid was there or not because they were always too busy with so many things. 

You know they loved you it was just that they had to work and stuff 

So you ended up being that type of kid who's always alone, has to always find a way to entertain themselves and overall grows up really fast and by themselves because no one is there to help them

While Asa was working you kept looking at him, curious about what he was doing but too shy to actually go and talk to him cause you didn't want to bother him

Admittedly you were kinda sad that he had to kill all the bugs. Not because you liked having them around but because you kinda felt bad for them plus they were fun to draw sometimes

He noticed you were there, not too close for the chemicals to harm you but not too far to not be able to see what was going on

He had this weird feeling looking at you. 

You were sporting glasses too big for your face, your hair was tied but not as good as it should, your clothes were clean but they had wrinkles

He's really good at reading people and the only thing he needed to confirm his suspicions of you being possibly spending too much time alone was your expresion 

You didn't seem angry but your big eyes didn't had the childish light kid's eyes should have, and your whole face was relaxed but at the same time it hold a stern look

He had the overwhelming feeling of looking at something familiar and he didn't like it one bit. 

At soon as you noticed he was looking at you, you just waved shyly at him before running away

You came back a few minutes later with some juice for him and used it as an excuse to talk to him about the bugs

"Does it hurt them?? I…I mean the spray, does it hurt? I'm…I'm kinda afraid of bugs but they're cool..I wouldn't like it if it hurt them.." 

You left the bug man speechless 

He had to paid close attention because of how fast you were talking 

You just wanted to have someone to talk with and since you didn't really had any friends you tended to talk a lot with the adults that were around you

He looked at you with confusion and surprise all over his face

"It doesn't…it's like going to sleep. I promise I would never hurt them" he didn't even knew why he was talking to you but he felt like he couldn't just straight up ignore you

You spent the whole day with him. You didn't really bother him that much cause you were actually pretty quiet and the only time you speak to him was to ask questions about bugs or to ask him if he wanted something else to drink

He did had to admit you were a really nice kid and he actually liked talking with you about bugs ecc

He even asked you to show him your drawings 

When he finds out that later that day you were going to stay with some relatives because your parents had to work he was actually relieved 

He really didn't want to kill you

That relief didn't last long because your parents decided the last minute to spend, for once, some time with you at home

He find out too late though 

He saw you on your bed sleeping when he was placing the traps 

So one thing leads to another and long story short; he has fucked up

You woke up, he didn't notice it once again (Asa you're being a fucking idiot omg), and he saw just in time before you triggered one the traps in the kitchen

Your parents are long gone and honestly he doesn't even know what to do with you

You looked at him with your eyes wide in surprise

He expected you to scream and be afraid but surprisingly you recognised him even with the mask 

You just thought that maybe he forgot something at your house, came back to get it only to find every single part of the house full with traps. That maybe, seeing that, he was trying to help your parents

You didn't question the mask too much cause you were worried about other things 

"Mr emory??? I..I heard mum scream, are you going to help her??" 

Damn EMOTIONAL DAMAGE RIGHT THERE

is the first time Asa feels so fucking bad and he's having none of it

Almost tempted to just kill you to make it stop but he does not 

He just takes you outside and tells you to wait there. Goes back inside and finishes the job faster than what he would normally and then comes back to you

He's going to be really straightforward about it and tell you that your parents are dead. He's not gonna tell you he killed them but still

Okay now onto what we all want to know. 

He has to take you with him obv. Making everyone believe you have died with your parents

When I tell you he's gonna be so mad about it cause he hates the idea of being soft

And you're kind of remind him how careless he has been with his last victims

The first few days He's going to avoid you. Being around you only when necessary like to cook you meals ecc

You're kind used to it and since he's the only person who has decided to take care of you (since you don't know that everyone thinks you're dead) you're not about to complain

He could've perfectly leave you in a foster home and you know that 

Man can't catch a fucking break cause he tries so hard to not get attached to you but seeing how you naturally adapt to being so alone, the fact that you don't don't for anything and you haven't cried or talked about your parents in front of him but hold it until you knew you were alone is killing him 

He hates it because he did the same thing as a kid, the only difference is that he didn't have anyone. No one wanted him 

When he comes to terms with the fact that he actually feels bad and he cares for you he's going to change completely 

It start with small things like eating breakfast together, asking you if you want to come with him to buy groceries ecc

He slowly starts to approach you more and more until it's comfortable for both of you

You're going to be homeschooling by him 

He starts to like play with you, talking with you more, read you books you like

He's never going to be too busy for you. If you need him he's going to drop everything to do whatever you want 

Helps you to overcome your fear of bugs 

Take you out for ice cream and a walk to the park once a week. Is like a tradition for both of you, eating ice cream and try to identify the bugs you find around the park 

He may not be the most affectionate person ever, you may never see him as a father and he is not trying to take that title but he will do everything to make you feel safe and seen

He truly shows how much he cares about you and makes an effort everyday to be the good example and healthy presence you need to grow up right 

He eventually tells you the truth when you're old enough but until then he's your best friend Asa and nothing could ever ruin that

Holidays with Tigerwick;

Unoffical Part 2 to Disney Descendants :  Christmas Kiss by my friend Levi.

—————————————————————

14 year old Captain Hannah Artemis Hook wouldn’t admit it but she already regretted accepting Lampwick and Tiger Lily’s invite to their Christmas party the moment she walked through the front door with her siblings and her crew. 

Why? 

Well.. it was simple.

She could practically feel the stares their group was getting. 

Something she wasn’t sure her siblings, their partners, and her attending crewmates could.

Harriet was arguing with Anthony.

Harry was getting handsy with Chad, Audrey, Gil, and Uma and not even trying (and failing) to hide it like their sister, Ginny, and her partner, Clay were.

Cj’s partners were with their parents so she was instead being introduced to her long lost twin, Ally’s, adoptive parents—Pinocchio and Alice—and seemed to be having a riveting conversation that Hannah wanted absolutely no part of.

Peter was zipping around the room, high on sugar as he stuffed his face with christmas cookies—occasionally stopping to say hi to the fairies, mermaids, and other Neverland residents that were attending.

All while the few older crewmates Hannah brought along—the ones without families or with families they didn’t want to go home to—(Anna and Aaron Bog. D.E Anonymous who had surprisingly accepted the invite Hannah had passed on, Herlando Dancer, Issac Cipher, Liberty Titan,  and Fiona Foundling) raced after all the wee ones that the lost of them were responsible for.

All of them seemingly oblivious to what Hannah just couldn’t ignore. 

The neverending staring of the party goers who’d sneak a peak at them when they thought no one was paying attention. 

But Hannah always was paying attention and it set her on edge. Made her wonder if this entire thing was a trap and made her never take her eyes off of her siblings and crew. All while she held the youngest member of her crew at this point—baby Skelebar—close to her chest.

Trying hard to keep a steady grip on her with her shaking hands.

A laugh broke out from somewhere nearby, causing the brunette to flinch. 

She could see Tiger Lily and Lampwick sneaking a kiss in the kitchen—completely oblivious to their mischievous looking daughter, Tulip, and Ally’s brother, Pin, and some blonde girl with wings that she was pretty sure was Carter and Scarlette’s younger sister who were setting up some kind of prank in the window behind them.

They seemed to be oblivious to what all their children were doing, it seemed—given that no one but her seemed to know that Blue Veronica was on  the roof reading or that Tiger Peony and Bobby Hood were holding hands and sneaking cookies to baby Sunny and what Hannah was pretty sure was Tiger Lily’s nephew, Anakin, and Lampwick’s younger sister, Bella, and the littlest Darling cousins.

Hannah numbly wondered if she should tell them but decided against it. Falling back on the age old, life saving isle advice of ‘mind your own motherfucking business, bitch’ that she typically ignored. 

She so did not get paid enough for this. 

LOVE THIS XD Thank u !

Could we have pregnant reader x harbor hc's where harbor accidently gets their s/o pregnant but they decide to keep it and they just go straight to shopping on day one.

fuck yeah ya can

Harbor is at first very stressed but is also really excited. He is more of a fun uncle but certainly doesn't mind being a father.

Harbor would want to keep your relationship as well as the fact hes the dad from Valorant. They end up eventually learning you are pregnant but excepting the lie that it was someone back home you don't want to talk about. Sage advocates for you staying on base and eventually taking off base leave once it gets close to the baby being born so you can have the care you need without any danger. She is happy when Harbor volunteers to help look after you and even more happy when the rest of the agents come to help when he isn't able. Its really in character for him to help out with this so no one really suspects anything and some agents are even more accepting of his willingness when they found out he has older sisters with kids.

When it does come time for you to leave base Brimstone asks him to go with you since you both already have a schedule and you seem the most comfortable with him helping out out of all of the agents (save for maybe Sage herself but they need her a lot more than him). Brim wants to make sure no one tries to target you so who better to send as a bodyguard than Harbor? He escaped chase multiple times and has amazing defensive powers so it makes even more sense

Once you two touchdown in your home town all he can talk about is getting stuff for the baby which you are happy to indulge. After keeping it on the back burner for so long he can FINALLY just be excited and with you.

The other agents came together to give you a generous gift since they can't really hold a baby shower for you with how busy everyone is and probably wont be able to see the little one for a while so what better way to help out than with more than enough funds?

After taking a little break you two head out to pick up any and everything you need.

Harbor coos over EVERYTHING and it really hits him this isn't just a kid its HIS kid.

This man really goes through the entire store in every single age group from infant to toddler and picks out entire little wardrobes with you. He wants to make sure that, even with missions, both of you can spend as much time with the little one as possible without having to worry about running out to grab clothes or little things like bottles.

Would be a dork and get the baby clothes that matched your own and that had little joke phrases on it mostly relating to water of course.

does discuss names with you as well and brings up getting stuff with the babies name on it or initials. Is understanding if you don't want the baby having his last name, since that makes it pretty obvious, and voices a bunch that use both yours and his last name as well as always wanting your opinion

goes for gender neutral things as well as items that are durable or easy to toss. Basically he goes for the crib that can turn into a standard bed while also getting several of the same onesie incase one gets ruined. He wants to be prepared as well as have you all set up incase he can't help out or something happens to him. He also goes for stuff that can be transported easily since you do still want to be an agent and moving stuff from your home to the base should be easy to do with or without help.

Harbor steps away either when you're resting or when you are busy deciding between items to go get and get stuff for you. I always imagine him being a mommas boy with older sisters that had kids when he was younger so he knows how hard the time after birth can be. He calls up his mom, and maybe a sister or two, and tells them about everything so he knows what type of stuff to grab for you so you can be as happy and comfortable as possible.

Even after you get absolutely everything you could need, at least for now, he is always ready to go out and grab anything you ask for.

He even prepares for if it ends up being more than one baby and jokes to you about it

One of his other precautions is making sure the people looking for him don't find you or the baby instead. Outside of his family (and yours if you are close enough to share this with them) no one knows he is having a kid with you and he wants it to stay that way until he can ensure your safety.

Gets himself subtle things to match you and the baby. Mostly bracelets that he braids with you that all of you can wear.

[bellatrixobsessed1]

Could you, instead of Bodyguard Sokkla AU, write Azula being famous, as she should, and Sokka being a huge overly smitten fanboy who gets to meet her irl by accident through Zuko? Zuko would obviously hide that he's related to someone famous to not attract attention on himself cause he can be somewhat socially awkward sometimes but what happens when his sister calls him one day while he's playing video games with his friends and without thinking too much he answers the phone and puts her on speaker so that his hand will be free to hold the controller and Sokka recognizes her voice?

This prompt has been sitting in my askbox for ages. Idk if you’re even still here xD but here it is. A quick little thing while I work on fandom events.

Katara thinks that it is embarrassing that he has so many posters of the girl. That one of them is even autographed. That he has a closet full of concert T-shirts and fanmade ones alike. That he has every single CD that Azula has ever appeared on. 

She doesn’t quite understand idol culture and frankly he finds himself rather embarrassed by it too. 

He would never let Jet or Zuko see all of this. Toph has already given him a hard time for being, as she so delicately put it, a total fanboy dweeb. But he certainly isn’t the worst out there. He can pridefully say that he doesn’t own a body pillow.

But he talks about her all the time. He’d like to meet her more than anything. He wonders if she is just as pretty in person. Prettier perhaps? She has such a nice smile and her voice is…

It’s divine. He has never heard anything like it; gentle and powerful all at once. 

It is a volcanic eruption and a quiet sunset breeze all at once. 

Sokka sighs, he almost puts one of the CD’s in the radio but he ultimately decides that doing so might ruin tonight’s livestream; pop music doesn’t exactly scream ‘epic fantasy-action background music’. Unless of course he and his gaming group are bold enough. He can’t imagine that they would be so brave. Not when Toph takes this whole livestreaming thing so seriously. 

Sokka puts on his headset and joins Zuko in the server. “Hey, Sokka.” The boy greets.

“How’s it going, buddy?”

Zuko exhales deeply. “I’m expecting a phone call tonight so we decided to postpone the livestream. Also, Toph can’t make it tonight, she’s got a headcold or something. So it’ll just be you, Jet, and I tonight.” 

“I think that we could use a stress free night of just gaming for the sake of gaming.” Just like in the old days, before they decided to start gaming for some extra cash. Not that Toph needs any. 

“What game are we playing tonight, boys?” Jet’s face appears on the screen. 

“Well Toph wanted to play ‘Night of Claw and Fire’. But I thought that we could play that one with the race cars that we used to love.” Zuko replies.

“Are we going to play the one with the shitty graphics? Or the new one.”

“Shitty graphics.” Sokka and Zuko say at once. Nothing like some classic, old school, boxy graphics. It has been so long since he has had a chance to glitch his character into oblivion. 

.oOo.

He knows that the game is all in good fun but Sokka can’t help but be at least a little frustrated at his losing streak. He hasn’t even been able to beat any of the NPC racers. They have been lapping him for the better part of the night while Zuko and Jet cackle. 

He wishes that Toph were here. 

Toph usually protects him from getting tag teamed. 

He puffs out another sigh and tightens his grip on his controller. He stares at its sleek, metallic navy blue finish. “Come on” he mumbles to the thing, “just give me one win.” 

He revs his virtual engine. 

3…

2…

1…

Zuko’s phone rings and the game pauses just as Sokka’s character blasts off. “Oh come on, bro!” Sokka shouts. 

Zuko rolls his eyes and unpauses the game. Sokka’s race car slams directly into the barricade and Jet cackles as Zuko hits the speaker button. “Hello?” 

“Hello, Zuzu.” 

Jet too slams his virtual car into the barricade and snorts. “Zuzu?” 

Zuko’s face flushes. “I shouldn’t have put you on speaker.”

“You have me on speaker?”

“I’m in the middle of gaming!” He declares. “I’m in first place by the way.” 

“There’s a first time for everything.” The girl chuckles. 

And that is when Sokka’s heart skips. He knows that laugh. He has always found it to be so charming. “Zuko…” he swallows. “Is that…?”

“My sister? Yeah.” Zuko fills in.

“Azula is your sister!? And you didn’t tell me?”

“My sister isn’t…”

“Yes I am.” Azula cuts in. “I’m exactly who you think I am.”

And Zuko is blushing again. Sokka can’t begin to fathom why. Not until he grumbles a, “I’ve been trying to be lowkey about this. I don’t want attention.” 

“I do.” Azula declares. 

“Why do you do this to me? And what are you actually calling for?”

“Well, mother said to tell you that she found some of your old baby pictures. Like the one where you…” 

“Azula!” He shouts, his face now a vivid scarlet.”

“The one where you decided to use your underwear as a hat.”

“Dude, you used your underpants as a hat?” Jet chuckles. 

“No! She’s just trying to make me sound like a dweeb.”

“It’s working.” Jet cackles. 

To Zuko’s credit he is still in first place. “Alright, Azula, we’ll talk later tonight.” His finger hovers over the end call button.

“No!” She and Sokka say at once. 

“I want to talk to your sister!” Sokka requests. “You know how much I love her…music!” Oh, he’s such an idiot–just bursting out declarations of love. “I love her music.” He repeats. 

“It’s alright, you can confess your love.” Azula drawls. “Most people do.”

Zuko groans. “She likes attention. Stop giving her attention.” 

But it is much too late for that. He has already plunged right into a very stuttering, “c-can we hang o-out sometime. I mean if you want to. I wouldn’t force you to do that because I’m…I’m not one of those weirdos but I thought that it could be nice maybe…”

“I suppose that we can.” Azula pauses. He can hear in her voice that her face has lit up. “Oh! I can show you Zuzu’s baby photos! There’s this one where he’s trying to eat his own foot.”

“Alright that’s it! Conversation over!” Zuko strikes ‘end call’. 

And with the strike of a button his hopes and dreams deflate. But hours later, with the sounds of video game victory music echoing in his ears, he gets a text. It better not be Zuko because he is ready to give the boy an earful…over text.

He looks at the screen. ‘Tomorrow. 5:00. Jasmine Dragon.’ The phone dings again and a picture of a very chubby baby Zuko stares up at him, peeking out from under a pair of underwear.

Sokka grins. ‘How did you get my number?’ He texts back.

‘That’s for me to know and you to wonder about.’ She adds a little wink. 

‘Okay, tomorrow at 5.’ He clutches his phone to his chest. He is actually going to meet his idol in person. He just hopes that she will like him as much as he likes her. Maybe he should take some of the posters down so that he doesn’t seem creepy…

He takes a deep breath. They’re just meeting at the Jasmine Dragon. And, realistically, Zuko will probably be tagging along. He will cross that bridge when he comes to it. Until then he will relish in that he is actually going to meet his idol face to face!

[backstage-if]

hi! since you said you were looking for an excuse to talk about the families... 👪 for all the ROs? (and Wille and MC too, if you want!)

YOU'RE A LIFE-SAVER. Of course, there will be more... nuance in the actual IF and some of these are spoilers.

👪 FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?

Under the cut :)

MC They were raised by their mom and she is basically the only family MC knows. I think I said this before but her family cut contact before MC was born, so… no grandparents, no cousins. Their father is out of the picture, too. MC and their mom were basically on their own and all the other had, so they really clinged to each other for most years. They were glued when MC was little. The mom is very supportive and always encouraged MC to pursue arts. I think seeing their mom work so hard to raise them and also being the reason her parents stopped talking to her… can make MC scared to disappoint her? Also some of their abandonment issues come from THIS lack of other relatives. 

I can’t exactly say what their relationship is like now because I plan to leave it to the player, but what I CAN say is that their mom tries to be involved, at least. Also, no siblings. 

Bonus: I talked before about the mom having a close friend group, so, yeah, MC grew up with 3 aunts (!!) who all lived in different parts of the country, but they used to call on their birthday, send gifts and visit sometimes. 

C

A nurse dad (Jaymes), an accountant mom (Sloane) and a teenage sister (Meredith or just Edith). C’s relationship with their parents… used to be better. Things were fine when they were the funny kid who, yeah, sometimes got sent to the principal’s office for whatever reason, but also had the best grades in class year after year, graduated with honors and left for college. C’s parents don’t really understand why they want to be an actor and this really strained their relationship. C figured this out during their college years and just immediately went to San Thérese after graduating, so them and their parents didn't have much time to talk about it. The rest of their time together? Yeah, they get along well. 

C's parents are quite serious people, but they appreciate their child's humor. They like how C knows who they are (even if that's why they're butting heads) and how caring they can be. They really should just meet face to face and talk for a while. 

C gets along well with their sister, very grumpy (Edith) and sunshine (C) sibling dynamic. They talk at least a few times every week and are always sending each other random messages. Edith looks up to her older siblings, even if C doesn't see that.

NEIL

His mom (Cora) was Neil's favorite person, but she unfortunately passed away when he was 19. She just really loved being a mom and, even if she was busy because of her career, she always made time for him. Taking him to the theater, mom-son painting classes, being part of the activities at his school, things like that. Core also tried to make sure the media wasn’t pestering her son until he was old enough to decide if that was the life he wanted. She was the actress, not him. 

Things were different with Neil’s dad (Émile/Edwin). He wanted to be a dad, but didn’t know how to be a good one. Privacy and such were always a sore topic between him and Neil’s mom because too much attention made Neil overwhelmed at a young age and Émile was always using his dad title for good headlines and paparazzi pictures, but he didn’t actually find a way to connect with his son. As Neil got older, he was fine having a very neutral, kind of distant relationship with his dad, but then his mom got sick, his parents got a divorce and Neil finally accepted that his dad isn’t the kind of person he likes to have around. 

I don’t think his dad is an angry man, but Neil is the only one who knows how to get on his nerves.

Also, because Neil’s dad doesn’t really understand how to raise a child and keeps with his acting career, Neil has been basically raising his sister (Laurie, 8) since he turned 19. He makes sure she gets to school on time and she talks his ear off every day after coming back. They go to the park. Neil bakes brownies for her school’s fairs. He tries to be who his mom was to him and they get along well. Neil doesn’t introduce her to anyone he doesn’t consider a close friend.

JOY

Joy’s parents had some issues with their other pregnancies and she was a really wanted, loved baby… and child, teenager and adult. Joy and her parents simply are very close. She is an only child. 

Her dad (Dustin) is a dentist and her mom (Anne) is a historical-fiction writer. They both are interested in arts and it was their idea to introduce her to theater during her middle school years to see if some of her shyness disappeared. They were worried about her social life for a while. It worked, she blossomed. 

There’s nothing much to say aside from the fact that Joy loves her parents very much. She cares about their opinion and she always tries to make time for them, at least weekly. She moved to her aunt’s old apartment to try to be a little more independent and it worked. Their love can be a little suffocating, but they’re trying to listen more to her and spend less time worrying and living their own lifes.

Her aunt (Rey) was Joy’s inspiration when she was growing up. She is a very confident, laid-off woman who likes to spend her time traveling and meeting people. Joy thought she was awesome and she still does. Rey moved from her old apartment a few years ago to live with her wife and left it to her favorite niece. 

Also, Rey was the one who adopted Patroclus for Joy. 

SPENCER An English teacher dad (Corey), a restaurant-owner mom (Natália), an older sister (Helena/Lena, 28) and a younger brother (Jonas, 12). 

Spencer gets along greatly with both of their parents, but especially their mom (and they believe they’re her favorite). A lot of their curiosity and passion for trying new things comes from their parents. Corey likes to research, read and learn every aspect of the thing he sets his mind on. Nat likes to be more practical and simply… try, even if things go wrong at first. They’re very in sync as a couple and Spencer is quietly impressed by that because they’ve been together for a long time and are very stable.

Lena, the oldest, is where Spencer’s perfectionism comes from. Their sister has been a bit obsessed with being always right ever since her teenage years, but, while she got over this idea a while ago, Spencer is still kind of set on being the best. Even if Spencer is a very calm person, their competitiveness appears when it’s against their sister (their parents think it’s because they’re so close in age).

Jonas, the youngest, is a hurricane. He is always going by Spencer’s apartment uninvited, going with his friends to see their sibling at the coffee shop, messing with Spencer’s stuff to see if they get angry. They don’t. Spencer loves his brother and doesn’t care about his tricks, but sometimes pretends to do so he gets happy. 

A

Surgeon mom (Simran), musician dad (Azad) and half-brother (Rohan, 12). 

A lot of A’s selfishness comes from their parents and how they (A) views their divorce. 

They’re quite similar to their mom when it comes to personality, so they understand each other and it makes it easy for them to live together. They don't mess with each other's personal stuff, have a similar taste for food and know where to find the other when they want to talk. 

A small, childhood-constant part of A makes it hard for them to see their dad as absent. He tries not to be, but his career hasn’t yet launched and it takes a lot of his time and has been taking a lot of his time for years by now. It affects both of his children. 

A’s mom isn’t the biggest fan of theater. She watches plays, but doesn't have a passion for it or anything. Still, when her child came to her saying that they wanted to act, she supported it. 

A is close to their little brother, they see each other every month. It could be better, but it isn’t bad. 

WILLE Their parents (Veronica and Albert) have a clothing store together and Wille has twin siblings (Becca and Luke). 

Wille’s parents are pretty much still in love. They’re disgustingly sweet together. 

They wanted Wille to keep taking care of the store later in life, but they believe their parents are more relieved that they didn’t want to. 

Wille studied business at college because of their parents. 

If anyone asked Wille for the name of their siblings, they would have to think about it for at least a minute. 

They don’t really talk to each other and that’s all Wille wants people to know.

SWF Clip

Mae visits the set of Street Woman Fighter

Time: 2021

During a break during filming, Taeyong gotten a call from his manager. The dancers couldn’t hear much from where they were, but considering how quickly he moved, they assumed it was important.

The groups just conversed amongst themselves until they heard a rustle coming from behind the cameras.

“Who’s that?” 

A small figure in a black hat can be seen trailing after Taeyong, holding onto to a few plastic bags.

“Mae brought snacks!” Taeyong said, pushing the girl to the front. Mae glared at him before bowing to the other dancers.

“Hello I’m NCT’s Mae!” Mae said smiling nervously, “I know everyone has been working hard, so I brought everyone snacks.”

“She’s so cute.” Honey J from Holy Bang said, watching as the girl hand out food and drinks to everyone. She felt her energy revive the entire room.

“She’s the same age as Yell, right?” Leejung Lee asked, which Yell nodded. When Mae went to YGX’s corner, she quickly waddled towards the girl. 

“I’m actually a big fan of Yell,” Mae said shyly, gesturing to the B Girl,” I saw her when I was visiting Jisung during Dancing High so...”

 Yell’s eyes widened, not expecting the confession. Then again, she did recall a girl visiting Jisung during the show so it must’ve been her. Yell was going to thank you for the comment until someone called out to Mae.

“Hey Mae,” Lip J from PROWDMON called out to the girl, overhearing the conversation, “Out of everyone here, who’s your favorite dancer?”

Mae froze at the sudden question. Taeyong laughed as he saw all the other dancers try to appeal themselves to the girl. 

“Sorry, but BoA sunbaenim has my heart.” 

BoA smiled at the girl and sent her a smile, causing her to smile. The groups sighed in disappointment but they couldn’t blame her, considering some of them had BoA as their inspiration in the first place.

“Mae-ah if you need a place to stay if being an idol doesn’t work out, you can join us!” Gabee from La Chica said, pointing to her group. 

“I will work hard for NCT!” Mae said, bowing towards the teams.

“She’s so cute, what should we do?”

Mae continued handing out the food to the teams, with the help of Taeyong carrying the bags.

“Here’s some for you too Daniel-ssi.” Mae said, handing a drink to Daniel, who was standing by the stairs. He nodded gratefully and took a sip from his drink. The two chatted for a bit, talking about how they were fans of each other.

"Daniel-ssi you have to be careful,” BoA said playfully, “She’s already taken.”

Mae sunk to the floor in embarrassment, while Daniel quickly reassured everyone that it wasn’t his intention. The women in the room had teasing smiles on their faces, enjoying the look on Mae’s face. She had the energy of a little sister.

“Actually, Mae has a request for everyone.” Taeyong said, making everyone turn their heads back at the girl in question. 

Mae quickly shuffled to the front so everyone could see her. 

“I was wondering if I could get dance lessons from every group, “Mae asked awkwardly, “ Since I dance for a boy group, I don’t have many opportunities to learn from female dancers.”

“You can always join us!” Hyojin from WANT called out immediately, waving at the girl from her spot. Chaeyeon also sent her a wave, considering the two of them were friends when she was promoting as IZONE.

All the tension in Mae’s body was released when she heard all the other teams agree. It was decided that since Mae had to leave soon for a schedule, they would sort it out with Taeyong and their manager during another break.

“Street Woman Fighter Fighting!” Mae cheered, before quickly moving towards the exit.

A/N:This was rushed so I hope it wasn’t too bad skdlfhd

To celebrate becoming mutuals and because I know college is kicking your ass, have a headcanon prompt! Warning: it’s a bit angsty

How would the rest of the Hamatos react when Casey Jr tells them they all die in his timeline?

Cheers to being mutuals

For a little backstory this is the order I think they die in: Raph, Donnie, Splinter, April, and then Mikey and Leo

Let's go by age cause that’s how I’ve always done it

Splinter: I think he would try and brush over his death. Internally I feel like he would try to rationalize it and come up with reasons for his death: saving humans or his family. But he would be devastated to find out he outlives two of his kids, like falling to the ground sobbing his little heart out devastated. It still haunts him to this day. It also makes him rethink the path he’s set his kids on. Like don’t get me wrong he knows death is always a possibility on a battlefield. He’s heard tales of his ancestors sacrificing themselves ever since he was small. And honestly, it was easy to separate himself from those deaths and become desensitized his mindset was something along the lines of “I never knew them so why should I care if they died”. But when he heard how his kids died and how similar the stories were it kind of gives him an existential crisis. Cause he put them on this path he raised them to be great warriors and he can't stop them no matter what and that kills him.

April: I feel like she would take some pride in knowing that her last few moments were spent protecting humanity and fighting the good fight. But she would feel guilt in outliving both Raph and Donnie (outliving Splinter is kind of a given). And she would definitely blame herself because in her mind their death only means one thing she failed. And she would definitely hug the boys a little tighter for a month or so after she heard the news.

Raph: Externally he would try and calm his siblings down he would say something like “well thank the pizza supreme in the sky that we don't live in that future”. But internally he would be freaking out. He’s very similar to Splinter in the sense that he’d brush over his death (or he would try to at least) and focus on his siblings. I think it would crush him when he found out how they died. But he swears to this day the thing that really broke his heart was hearing how his baby brothers and his big sister had to fight nonstop every single day for the rest of their lives. And he hates that a small part of him is proud of that. 

Donnie: Knew already. He heard how Casey referred to him in the past tense. But he also knew confronting Casey when they were trying to save Raph was irrational. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t knock the wind out of him. Donnie has the worst reaction to death (Leo is a close second) in the sense that he shuts down. When Casey explained everything Donnie heard it processed it wrote down blueprints for robots that he could transfer his sibling's into when they die and then he would “go offline”.

(for context this is something I do when my family presents me with information that's hard to swallow. I’ll hear it, I’ll process it and my brain decides “oh you can come up with a plan to deal with that later but after that, you’ll resort to basic human functions” I will eat and drink and breathe but that's about it. My mama came up with the term “going offline” when I explained it to her and that sums up the feeling perfectly)

Mikey: Would be crushed. Absolutely devastated. Poor bubba wouldn't know what to do with himself. Cause here's the thing Mikey isn’t stupid he knows that he's related to a group of self-sacrificing morons. But having to hear how they died out loud. Breaks something inside of him. Because he doesn’t know how to fix that. He has all the mystic power in the world but he can't snap his fingers and wrap his family in lifesaving bubble wrap for all eternity. And that fucking sucks. So he does the only thing he can think of which is using his “baby brother privilege” to demand an immediate turtle pile. Cause he knows his siblings need it (and he does too).

17. exchanging looks in a crowded room 🖤

Day 3

17 – exchanging looks in a crowded room

The room was buzzing. The giddy excitement was palpable. And Cora felt that’s how it should be on one of the first balls of the season. Rose was long off to chat animatedly with her friends, and since the first dance was already over, Cora had left the dancing parquet and stood at the side with Rosamund. Robert was making conversation with two lords he had been fellow students with at Eton. Everything was how it should be.

The things Rosamund was talking about only partly reached Cora’s conscience. Her mind was nowhere in particular as she just soaked up the boisterous and warm atmosphere of the ball. She felt like she belonged right in with her shiny light orange gown, bedazzled with stones and clad in exquisite orange sapphire jewellery. She had to admit, Robert really hadn’t held back to make sure they had a London season worthy of Rose’s debut. There was a fleeting possibility that it was egoistic spending with the way Robert eyed Cora ever so often. She couldn’t quite remember the last time his eyes raked over her appearance so devouringly in broad daylight. Cora definitely felt undeniably comfortable in her skin. And Robert’s behaviour made her feel like the belle of the ball. She chuckled quietly at that thought.

Standing at the side of the lively ballroom, Cora let Rosamund’s words ripple around her. But as much as her sister-in-law was never a boring conversation partner, Cora was somehow wishing for someone else to be by her side. They shared the first dance some moments ago, but she already missed her husband.

Cora wasn’t quite used to being apart from Robert anymore. In their domestic idyll at Downton, they rarely decided to part for more than a few hours when Robert was going after his duties to the estate. They preferred being together, even if it was in mutual silence, each with their tasks. When Robert had been to America, it had felt like ages. Long torturous ages. Since he was back, Cora was trying to spend even more time by his side. Sometimes she felt a little foolish for clinging to him in a way only Isis did, but Robert didn’t seem to mind. He always had a fresh smile on his face when she sought his company in the library.

But now that they were here in London, it felt strange not attending every event clutching her husband’s arm constantly. She had a weird flutter in her stomach when she had to let go of him to talk to others and comply with social customs. Seeing him spending a great deal of these evenings conversing with other gentlemen, seemingly unbothered by her absence, felt strange. She would never say she was jealous. What for? What could possibly make her jealous? They were just following society’s standards, and Cora knew very well that Robert was looking forward to taking her to their room afterwards and being alone with her. Oh no, she had been married enough years to not feel the need to be jealous. She was just utterly affectionate this year and she took it as a good sign for their marriage. Hers and Robert’s relationship was thriving like she never thought possible for a couple their age.

Though, it was getting harder every minute to stay the relaxed wife and keep up a conversation with her sister-in-law. Cora craned her neck to look for Robert. She made a noise of approval to Rosamund who had asked a question Cora hadn’t listened to but Rosamund didn’t seem to have noticed Cora’s absence of mind.

“Right? That’s what I said all the time!” Rosamund proclaimed with emphasis.

Cora’s eyes were scanning the room. Through the crowd of dancing pairs, it was hard to get a proper impression of the groups of people. It was then, that Cora discovered her husband in a small circle of men by the winged doors to the neighbouring hall. He balanced a flute of champagne with three fingers and nodded at something the lord with the impressive moustache had said. Cora had forgotten his name. As always, Robert was participating just as he should. He was immersed in the conversation and didn’t seem to miss anything.

Cora sighed.

“What is the matter?” Rosamund inquired.

“What? Oh, nothing,” Cora waved off. Rosamund had a stern expression on her face. The red of the high collar of rubies around her neck made her eyes pierce even more intensely in the warm light of the candelabras. She was displeased to have the attention snatched from her talk.

“Well, it’s just so strange to stand in this ballroom this year, that it’s Rose’s first season, and knowing we’ve attended balls here for… how many years? It feels like Mary’s first season was just yesterday. And I remember being swirled on this exact parquet myself at this age. It’s so strange,” Cora said. She looked across the young ladies with pink cheeks and nervous eyes.

“Yes, I guess you’re right,” Rosamund agreed. “I’ve lost count of the seasons I’ve partaken in.” She took a sip from her champagne. Cora looked at her and had a thought that had been recurring since she met her sister-in-law for the first time. Rosamund was a lady through and through. Just the way she sipped her champagne pensively, remembering old times, had a poise to it Cora could never dream of matching. The way there was never a redundant motion, her chin always held up high. No matter her real height, Rosamund managed to always seem like the tallest. She was always master of the situation, never lost control. It was impressive. And Cora thought that without any judgement. It was merely an observation she made time and time again.

“Are we getting old, Rosamund?” she asked.

“Old? We? Come on, Cora. I am a widow and not just since yesterday. But I refuse to call myself old. It’s bad enough when others do it.”

“Of course.” Cora didn’t want to feel old herself, but there were rare moments when she wondered.

“And look at your husband,” Rosamund remarked. She tipped her head to the side and indicated to Robert across the room. “The way he pines for you. Don’t tell him you thought we might be old. How ancient would that make him? He couldn’t handle it.” A smirk ghosted over Rosamund’s features.

Cora snickered. She turned her head to look at Robert. He did indeed seem to pine for her. Cora felt the heat rise on her décolleté and cheeks. He still stood along with his peers but looked over at Cora intensively. His glass was empty, and the smirk that flashed across his features was unequivocal. Cora bit her lip. The wide smile she couldn’t avoid pushed up her round cheeks.

“You two are impossible,” Rosamund said.

‘You would be the same with Marmaduke,’ Cora thought but knew better than to say it out loud.

“This is not about you, this ball or this season even,” Rosamund added. “But somehow you’re acting like that.” She groaned. “See, that’s what I mean.”

Cora followed her look and saw Robert coming over with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“You have already been courted,” Rosamund hissed.

“Yes,” was the only answer that Cora was able to come up with.

“It’s not about you,” Rosamund repeated. The irritated undertone only bothered Cora very distantly.

By the time, Robert had reached the two women and blindly set down his empty champagne flute on a tray of a passing footman. He clasped his hands behind his back as he entered the ladies’ atmosphere.

“I hope I don’t interrupt you,” he said.

Rosamund already opened her mouth, and Cora saw that she was about to spew something vicious.

“Oh no, not at all,” Cora hurried to assure. She smiled broadly at Robert.

“I’m glad,” he said. “Would you care for a dance, my dear?”

Cora didn’t answer but only took the hand he held out for her. There was a flutter in her stomach and it wasn’t of the weird kind. Before she totally succumbed to her husband’s charm on the dance floor, though, she turned back around to her sister-in-law.

“Maybe you also find someone who will court you,” she spoke softly. Rosamund only rolled her eyes and shook her head in denial.

The next moment, Cora already found herself twirled around between the other dancers. No, she wasn’t old. Not yet. At this right moment, she was sure. She had never felt younger.

Bonjour tout le monde it’s 5c at the moment brrr! Hopefully it will warm up by this afternoon.

Do you ever get to Sunday and wonder where the week has gone and more importantly what you have done with the week? This is one of the reasons why I do this blog, it’s because I often think I have done nothing but when I look back I realise that you may have done a great deal.

I was happy to receive my “convocation” for my appointment with the oncologist, it is for Friday 23rd. Although I am pleased to have the appointment it coincides with my knitting group which is a little sad. I have my taxi booked and fingers crossed I am not there for hours and hours.

Yet another little “hitch” with regard to water and this time it wasn’t just hot water it was a lack of any water! Anyway I asked the plumber to call and it was found that the tap was full of limescale. We got it all sorted, a new tap and waste for the bathroom and I am a happy bunny again.

It’s coming around to the renewal of my house insurance, which is currently held with a company in Poitou-Charentes. I have been very happy with the insurer I chose in town for my other policies so I have asked them to give me a quote. It was promptly done and so I should soon be insured in a “one stop shop” in town.

My American friend rang me from the states, where she is currently having treatment. She asked if I could go to her home and photograph her garden. Imagine my surprise when there were two men at her home (one a workman) they said come in and look at the rear garden too. Then the workman took me round the ground floor asking me to take photos of the work he is doing in the kitchen. What a pleasant surprise that was not only for me but also for my friend.

Yesterday, a friend in the UK messaged to tell me that her grandson had put in an appearance early that morning. He was not full term, actually only 26 weeks, so here is hoping that his mum and him get through these days and weeks. Quite a surprise and a worry I would imagine too.

Let’s have a look at my choice of songs for this week. They go quite a way back, the first song taken from an album which my sister had long before we even had our first Dansette record player. It’s music I remember hearing, even though my age hadn’t attained double figures, I still love the tracks today as much as at that time. So taken from the album “Aftermath” by the Rolling Stones released in 1966 is the track “Under My Thumb”.

The second song is from 1971, the first single for this band. The band featured the super talented Roy Wood, along with Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan who had been part of the group “The Move”. The song was so totally different to anything else at that time it was “10538 Overture”. Both groups have had some amazing songs and it can be hard to choose a favourite but these songs have always had a place in my heart.

I sometimes feel I am a little boring about my garden, ok so it’s not everyone’s idea of a beautiful place but believe me I do the best I can do to have some colour out there. Two years ago I planted up a planter and I loved that so much. I decided to change the compost, remove any dead plants and replant any others. I had bought a pack which turned out to be 10 primulas not 8 as I first thought. They had been in the supermarket too long, were dry as a bone and a lot of them looked dead! However, looks can be deceptive and a quick “snip” to remove brown and broken leaves found that they were pot bound and in need of a very big drink. I rejuvenated the planter and put the remaining primulas into the “potager” hoping to help them improve. I want to lay cardboard in the rear garden and “re-home” the primulas and the violas that self seeded last year. This morning I was so upset as I saw that “something”, possibly a cat, had dug up three of the primulas in order to use the potager as a toilet. It has also been using the high planter as a toilet, last year I grew beetroot, lettuce, radish and spring onions in that planter. It’s very disappointing and I even felt “what is the point” in growing stuff if some animal is going to keep messing in the earth. However, it does give me a lot of pleasure seeing my plants growing so should I fight back?

I really must send another email to my friends in Bristol. I haven’t heard from them since the beginning of the year and it’s not like them to be in touch.

Monique is still not well and will be seeing the oncologist on Monday 26th. It’s a couple of weeks since I have seen Anie too, time flies!

“The Photographer” had a weeks holiday from work last week as it was his daughters “half term” from school. On Monday he took his two children (aged 5.5 and 2.5 years) on the train to London. He stayed with his Aunt and Uncle and had planned visits with the children to the zoo and the Natural History Museum. The children had a wonderful time, so did “The Photographer” but he was exhausted by the time he got home on Thursday. The children returned to their Mum on Friday and we excited about going, obviously they had a lot to tell her. Yesterday, he was at Scarborough AFC taking photos of their game.

“The Trainee Solicitor” and “Ex-Graduate” have finished work now for a well earned week of rest and relaxation. They are heading to the Yorkshire Dales for some good country air, a little walking and perhaps a lot of reading!

Sorry just had a little break, it was time for tea and cornflakes 😉.

Yes the cat has been back and turned the earth in the potager, so I have put more pepper down, plus today, I will put stakes into the earth and let’s see it try to “squat” there!

I tell myself every morning that I will have a walk and do I? Not everyday and actually the days I do go out for that walk are getting fewer and fewer. I had a good walk one day and was spurred on for more of the same but after a shorter walk the following day it has tailed off again! I really must “programme” myself to a walk.

So now I am going to send a message or two to friends, read my book for a short time. Do the normal household jobs, bed making, washing up etc. Start the “walking programme” and generally find something to tell you about next week 😂.

Bon dimanche!
