three years | m. tkachuk
summary: it’s early july 2022 in sunny florida. ophelia hughes is finishing up work before heading down to michigan to spend the summer with her family and friends. but news of a trade deal with the calgary flames puts her world in a blender.
a.n. the first instalment of the hughessister x chucky!! this is gonna have absolutely no background at first but it’ll make since as you read. please be kind, and like and reblog if you like it <3
the florida sun was something ophelia would never get used to.
it slid inside her office at amerant bank arena, making it shine with sunlight. her skin shone with it like a golden goddess, warming it and reminding her of early morning sunrise walks with her youngest brother, luke. her hand moves to correct another photo as her mind wanders to her plans for the next two months: boat rides, tan lines, tiny bikinis, stolen kisses, watermelon running down the corners of mouths, her mother's home cooking.
a knock at her office door brings her out of her daydream. she turns her head to see who's there.
stan, their director of marketing, stands at the door with a small smile on his face.
"hey, phe. i just wanted to talk to you quick before you left for the next couple of months."
her smile falters a little and he's quick to put a reassuring hand to her shoulder.
"it's nothing bad, ophelia, i promise. it's about a trade. i need you to let the social media girls know we need a goodbye post for huby and weegs. they got traded this morning, it was just announced. would you send some photos to them?"
she nods. "yeah of course. do you need anything from me regarding the new guy?"
he shakes his head. "no, cerie can take care of it while you're away. he won't be here until later this week anyways and i want you to have some time with your family. have fun this summer, ophelia."
she smiles, wishing him the same as he leaves. she realizes she never even thought to ask who the new guy was.
cerie comes barreling through the door just as ophelia thinks she can go back to her actual job. “did you fucking hear? we traded jonny and weegs? for that guy? are we stupid?”
cerie was the other full time photographer for the panthers, and ophelia’s best friend in the whole world. they’d joined the team six months apart, after stan had realized the workload was too much for one person at a time. and cerie had just moved to florida from france and barely ever went home to her estranged family, so she was the perfect choice for when they needed a cover in the summer.
“hold on i’m confused. stan said the trade was good, you say it’s bad. who’d we get?” cerie opens her mouth to probably scream the name, but is cut of by a sharp three knocks on the door.
“come in!”
she’s expecting it to be sam or carter, those two were always on her ass about taking better photos. she didn’t have the heart to tell them it was because they were both extremely nonphotogenic. but it’s not either of those people.
“hi, sorry to interrupt, i was told to come see the senior photographer before she left.”
the voice knocks the air out of ophelia as she registers who it is, eyes widening. he realizes a split second later when he finally gets a good look at her.
“phe?”
she sets her jaw, staying seated and gazing up at the boy who had turned into a man since they last spoke three years ago. three years since that awful night in michigan, the fight, his departure from what she thought was the rest of her life. and now matthew tkachuk was standing in her office in sunny florida, a place she thought was a fresh start away from her parents and her brothers (mostly).
“hi, matthew.”
“you’re the senior photographer? how is it even remotely possible that i didn’t know that?”
she scoffs. “well, you were never really good at paying attention, especially to me. why did you need to see me?”
he looks stunned at her tone. she’s all business, he realizes. “i’m supposed to let you know i’m going back home until august and then i need my headshots done. i’ll be back on the 8th.”
“i won’t be here. cerie will do your headshots, and then i’ll proof them and upload them when i’m back on the 20th. anything else?”
he shakes his head, but he doesn't leave. "i'm going back to the lake house. first time in three years."
she finally looks over from her computer again. "good. your mom misses you."
he nods, a small smile on his face as he walks out the door and shuts it behind him. ophelia turns to her best friend, lets out a snort at the look on her face.
"stop looking at me like that, cerie."
"you know matthew tkachuk? what is wrong with you that you never thought to mention that before?"
ophelia shrugs, going back to the last photo she has to edit before she heads to the airport. "we kind of grew up together. we haven't spoken in over three years, though. had kind of a falling out just after i graduated from university."
cerie sits down beside her. "oh my god, phe. are you okay? and he's coming down to the lake house? how is that gonna go?"
phe clicks out of her computer, running her hands over her face with a groan. "it's gonna go like it always goes. his mom will yell at him for not being around a lot in the last three summers, his dad will make me tell him everything that the panthers are up to these days, and brady and taryn will simultaneously smack their brother and squeeze the living life out of me. matty being there won't be any different from the last time he was there three years ago."
"matty, huh?"
oh boy. "shut up."
"i'm just saying! the way you talk about him makes it seem like you guys were a little more than childhood best friends."
ophelia groans again and flips her off. "fuck off, cerie. i don't like to talk about it. what happened between us was embarassing and i would really rather not repeat it."
cerie's hands go up in surrender. "alright, alright. but you will tell me later, fleur. i know you will. now go to the airport, see your family, have some fun!! tell your brothers and your parents i said bonjour."
the two best friends hug tightly. "oh, i'm gonna miss you, cer. but i'm not telling you if quinn is single."
"ophelia-"
"no! no dating my brothers. they don't need your kind of crazy."
"bitch!" "asshole."
the laughter of both women could be heard from where matthew was still standing outside the office, waiting for ophelia to be done.
"matthew? why are you still out here?"
he shrugs, pushing off the wall he was leaning against. "i wanted to wait and see if you needed a ride to the airport."
her head cocks to the side. he had been less than caring when they were kids. three years had definitely changed something in him. "that would be nice actually. my bags are just in the closet over there."
he smiles and nods, carrying the bags when she grabs them. she could get used to this.
"holy shit, is this your car?"
he sold his truck, apparently, and replaced it with a fucking ferrari. of course he did.
"i was told when you move to florida you buy a fancy car."
"i don't know. i bought a jeep."
his laugh is contagious as they climb into his car, and when ophelia looks at him from his passenger seat she almost forgets everything he said the night they last spoke.
this was going to be an interesting summer.
a.n. this is a very special moment; the first (of hopefully many) fics of the hughessisterxmatthewtkachuk au!!! i am really proud of this one, it's one of the longest i've written thus far and i hope everyone loves it as much as i do. like and reblog as always, and stay safe in our dangerous world, lovlies <3, lily :)

Eternally Yours
Chris Motionless x Female Reader
Warnings: smut
Word count: 4.4k O_O
Summary: Basically a fanfic of the eternally yours music video, if the reader was the girl in the video
Author's Note: I know I have a bunch of asks, and I'm getting to them, I swear, but I finally finished this after like, 4 months... so... ta da?
Tumblr media
It was tough watching the love of your life, your best friend, getting it on with someone you hate. But you soothed yourself with the fact that it was all for the cameras.
Motionless in White were shooting the music video for their new song 'eternally yours', and being his best friend, Chris jumped to have you on the project. You were one of the best light technicians after all... Plus it was fun to work with you. Chris wouldn't admit it, but he missed you.
And while working with Chris was always fun, having a tall, skinny, blonde model (who thought she was God's gift to the world) making out with him... it didn't exactly help your self esteem. He was perfect. So was she. Why would he ever like you? He'd never go for someone like you when he could have Chloe.
Speak of the devil, you thought, as Chloe sauntered up to you.
“Y/N, I need my skinny mocha.” She demanded.
“I do lights?” You said, frustrated and waiting for her to understand.
“And I'm needed on camera. Hurry up.” The blonde walked away before you could argue.
You rolled your eyes and mentally cursed her. Then you heard a thump and a scream.
“No! My ankle!!” Chloe was on the floor, screaming over a mildly twisted ankle and performing the tantrum of her life. “I can't do this stupid job, I deserve better!”
And that was the fastest working karma you'd ever seen... It also came back to bite you on the ass.
“What?! Me? There's no way. I am NOT that pretty, or seductive, I can't do it!” You begged.
“Come on Y/N, please. There's no one else to do it, and you look perfect for the part! Please, we need this video shot by the end of the day, you know that. Plus, there's no one I'd be more comfortable with.” Chris begged you to step in.
“I don't know.”
Chris smiled at you with pleading eyes and you knew you were done.
“Fine. But I'm going to need hair and makeup.”
You looked in the mirror. The reflection you saw, you hated. It wasn't some succubus, it was gross. You hated seeing yourself in such a small outfit. You were too insecure, what were you thinking agreeing to this?! Plus, you'd have to actually kiss Chris. While you desperately wanted to, did you really want it to all be fake? What if it makes things awkward? You were in the midst of a mental spiral when you heard and knocking on the door and a familiar voice.
“Y/N, you decent?” Chris asked.
“Um, yeah. You can come in.”
Chris slowly opened the door, and his eyes widened when he saw you. You hugged your stomach nervously.
Chris made a kind of sputtering noise before mumbling “wow”, which you weren't supposed to hear. The word make your lips turn up.
“Uh, Y/N, you look spectacular.” He said, standing next to you in the mirror, and admiring you. You looked away, blushing.
“No, I don't. You have to say that. You're my friend.”
“Friend...” Chris said softly. “No, I don't have to say that. You truly look phenomenal. Dare I say, sexy.” Chris brushed some hair over your shoulder, turning to face you. Right then, the buzzer rang, summoning you to the set.
You cleared your throat.
You were about to walk out the door when you turned back to Chris.
“Can you promise me something?”
“Anything,” he said, without missing a beat.
“This won't change our friendship right? I just don't want things to be weird.”
A voice called from down the hall, asking you to hurry up.
You walked away.
It took a bit, but after some friendly cat-calls and whistles from the crew, you had the confidence to try to be seductive. You felt a little awkward, walking around the red and blue lighting and just looking around dramatically, but you trusted the director.
Next, you got in the coffin. With David, the director, shouting orders, you got into the part and began to have fun with it, playing model. Your confidence grew and your performance got better and better, until David decided enough was enough.
“Alright, Chris, get in there.”
Suddenly the anxiety returned.
You watched Chris in his suit walk around mysteriously in the lights and tried not to allow a shiver to go through you when he looked down at your lips and removed his glove.
“Y/N, you're the woman, you're not supposed to be so hard.”
The crew chuckled and you rolled your eyes, embarrassed that your anxiety was so obvious.
“Hey, you OK with this?” Chris whispered.
“Ye-yes. Yeah. Just. Out of my comfort zone.” You replied, before raising your voice. “Any directions, boss-man?”
“Just, act like you're a complete whore. You would die to touch him, you need him like oxygen. You're excited, get a little wiggle going on, yes?”
Mentally screaming at him, you nodded your head, and looked at Chris with daggers in your eyes. He couldn't hold in the laugh. Suddenly you were both laughing so hard you nearly fell back into the coffin, and Chris nearly fell in on top of you, making you laugh so hard your eyes watered.
“Oh come on, now your make up is all crinkled, everybody, take five! Y/N, go to hair and make up, and Chris... never mind.” David trailed off, you and Chris still giggling as he helped you out of the coffin. You fumbled a little in the stilettos, but Chris held you around your waist til you got your balance.
“Let's go.”
“David was right, you know,” Chris said, words you thought you'd never hear as you walked to hair and make up.
You raised your eyebrows.
“Not like that! I mean, you just seemed super tense, stiff.” You chuckled at the innuendo. “C'mon Y/N, I'm serious. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything, OK? So just tell me.”
“... I- complete honesty?”
“Always, you know that.”
“I'm scared... I'm scared that if we kiss you'll be disgusted by me or it'll change our friendship and I'll lose you. I don't want to kiss you for the first time in front of cameras and people—I mean, I don't want to kiss anyone for the first time in front of cameras—I mean, your opinion matters to me, and-”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Y/N. Breathe. Yeah?” Chris said, stopping walking to grab you by the shoulders and look you in the eye with a half smile that made you melt. “Would it help if, uh,” Chris looked to the side and nervously rubbed his hands. “If we kiss now, before cameras or anything. You can tell me what you like and what you don't so I don't fuck up,” he said before adding “It'd look better on camera if we're actually enjoying it, right?”.
You bit your lip and stepped closer. Chris brushed your hair behind your head and you couldn't help but turn into his hand a bit as he did, before looking up to his dark brown eyes. He stepped in til your bodies were nearly against each other, and lent down to softly brush your lips with his. You felt your breath catch in your throat as he snaked an arm around your waist, pulling you closer. You looped your arms around his neck and pressed your lips hard against him. The kiss was fire, and within moments you felt Chris's tongue against your lips, asking for entrance. You stood frozen in time, exploring each other as much as you dared before eventually breaking away for air.
You both stood there, entangled and breathing hard, looking away with small smiles.
“Um, so yeah, if you just do that it'll be fine.” You said, with a breathy voice and a little laugh. Chris joined in, and to your dismay, pulled away.
“Yeah, yeah definitely like that.” He said with a wink, before continuing the walk to hair and make up with his hands in his pockets. You stood still for a moment, hand to your lips, before walking fast to catch up.
You re-filmed the start of the shot after talking with Chris about what you were comfortable with (“well, we're in character, right? Just go for what feels right, and if I'm uncomfortable I'll stop you. Same goes for you.” to which Chris replied “You better let me know, I never want to hurt you.”). Chris walked up to you, and took his glove off. The look in his eye sent a shiver down your spine as you arched your back and lent across the coffin, convincing yourself you were leaning into the part and not Chris. But instead of kissing you, Chris brushed the hair from your face, and placed his head against yours, shutting his eyes. The tension was too much for you to bear as he lent down and rubbed his face against yours, kissing you without doing so, breath against your neck sparking electricity through your veins. You returned the motion, nuzzling into the man. But where Chris's hand had been around the back of your neck, he shifted his hands to be around your throat, lifting you up for better access to surprise you with a fierce, open-mouthed kiss.
It was like the man was trying to torture you. Or ruin you in the best way. You lent further into the kiss, deepening it.
“And cut! Perfect, we'll get all the kissing done at the same time to not waste the lipstick, yeah?” David said, ruining everything.
Chris helped you out of the coffin and you prayed you wouldn't slip and suffer the same fate and Chloe (not that you'd let a sprained ankle stop you now), and David guided you both to an empty area with a few blue lights around.
“OK. Now. I want you guys to make out. Just go for it. Chris, I want you to ravish her.” David directed.
At this point, you looked at Chris and just shrugged. He laughed and pulled you flush against him by the waist, both of you with cheeky grins.
“You ready to start filming?” Chris asked, an air of mischief in his voice.
Before David even said yes, Chris's lips were on yours again. It started a little sloppy and silly, but turned slower and more passionate fast, your hands cupping Chris' cheek, his arms around you only drawing you in closer, impossibly so. Chris broke the kiss and whispered in your ear.
“I'm going to do something, if you don't like it, just stop me, OK?” he spoke in a low whisper, and you didn't have to pretend to be turned on.
“I trust you.” You breathed back.
Then suddenly Chris was kissing your neck, then your chest. You arched your back to grant him better access, and stroked his neck as he sucked on the soft skin of your collarbone. It was all you could do to hold back a moan. When he pulled away and looked up at you, you could have died. Suddenly you felt too tense to kiss him again, scared you'd convey how much you need him, as Y/N, not the character in the music video. You turned your away, and then it was time to touch up your lipstick and a break before once more getting in the coffin.
You were drinking icy water and trying to calm yourself down from the growing heat and anxiety within you. You tried to compose yourself. You didn't want to be a creep, it's not exactly like he's consenting to you getting off from his acting. And that's all it was. Acting. Just... really convincing. You tried to reason with yourself and prepare yourself for the sex scene.
There was another knock on the dressing room door.
“Come in.”
Chris walked in, immaculate in his suit, but a concerned look in his dark eyes.
“What happened?”
“What do you mean?” You responded, feigning innocence.
“Did I do something wrong? I thought everything was OK. Did I cross a line? You know you can always stop me Y/N, I know you've been through shit and I don't want to ever hurt you, I'm really sor-”
“Chris, Chris, it's fine. You didn't cross a line or anything. I just. Um. Fuck,” you looked away, a blush spreading across your face. “I- Look, you did nothing wrong, OK? You did everything right. Maybe too right, if you get what I mean? I guess I just kinda froze up. But trust me, you didn't do anything wrong. You're... perfect.” You looked back up at Chris with imploring eyes, only to be met with a cocky smirk.
“Too right, huh? Man's got moves.” He laughed to himself, and you rolled your eyes with a smile.
“Don't get all proud of yourself,” you said and walked past. “Show time.”
Once you two opened the coffin and climbed in, it was up to you.
“I have one direction. Make me feel something. Action!” David boomed.
You started simple, Chris climbing on top of you, but you decided to take control. You lent back and put one heeled foot on Chris's chest, pushing him down slowly. He looked up at you with such an intense lust you could have moaned from that alone. You kissed for a moment before sitting up and helping Chris to take his jacket off. His eyes never left yours, piercing into your soul. The world didn't matter; nothing was real but this moment.
The pair of you moved in time, shifting seductively as Chris whispered to you, hand in your hair.
“Would it be too far if I,” he slid his hand across your face, and you understood his gesture. When his thumb slipped into your mouth, you sucked, fully getting into it. You were determined to make him as desperate as you were. He held both sides of your face and was about to kiss you, but you wrapped your arms around his wrists and tried to pull him down. But Chris was not one to obey. He pulled his hands away and brushed some hair out of your face, before pulling you up against him. Chris scooped you up, one hand cradling your neck delicately, the other gripping your ass for stability and control. You felt immediately how badly Chris wanted this when he grinded into you. The thin fabric of your costume and his suit was not enough to conceal his arousal. You gasped and grinded back as Chris lent in for a kiss that felt like fire. He guided you down into the coffin, as you felt his tongue slip past your lips. After just a moment of kissing, Chris sat up, both of you coming up for air, and double checking consent.
But you just grabbed his shirt and pulled him down. He kissed you lips, your neck, down your chest, even kissing your thigh, then lifting your leg up to caress as he kissed you deeply and passionately, grinding occasionally and trying to control himself. After a few more kisses, you broke apart.
“Perfection! Now we just need to close the lid.” David stated.
“I'm sorry, what?” you asked.
“We're going to close the lid. Well, Chris is. Make it extra dramatic, that's the ending of the video. Two lovers in their final bed.”
Normally you'd fight this, as the idea of being shut in a coffin—even for a moment in a music video—gave you anxiety, but in your current state, the idea made a shiver go through your spine.
The last scene was shot, you snuggled into Chris as he looked up into the camera and closed the door. For just a few moments, you remained just like that. Head on Chris's shoulder and hand on his chest, his arm around you and hand on your ass. You looked up at him and though you couldn't see it, he was looking down at you too.
Chris cleared his throat and tried to find something to say.
“Wow.” He stated, eloquently. You laughed quietly, knowing the camera was still filming.
Before you could lose your nerve, you reached your hand up to find his lips. You heard Chris breathing harder as your fingers found his lips. You just started to shuffle closer when you heard a voice.
“That's a wrap for tonight guys. Everyone fuck off home, it's going to be another big day tomorrow.” David said, walking off and dismissing the crew. The crew (most of whom your were friends with) thought it would be funny to leave you both in there rather than helping you out. Which meant you had to untangle yourselves and find a way out.
Someone tapped the coffin twice.
“See you tomorrow guys!” the voice was Ricky. Then, quieter, “Don't have too much fun.” You could feel the smirk through the coffin.
“Motherfucker!” Chris yelled, and only get a distant laughter in response.
You heard nothing but Chris' heartbeat and your head rested on his chest.
For a second, you just looked up at Chris, unsure what to do. You wanted to tell him, but you were scared. You wanted to kiss him, but what if he freaked out, what if it was only for the video, and he was just another actor? But could you live with yourself if you didn't take the chance? Before you could do anything, Chris tried to pull his arm out from under you to push up on the lid of the coffin, and in doing so ended up half on top of you. Chris breathed in sharply as you felt what was most definitely not his leg pressing on yours.
“Ah, sorry, I just, uh, you know,” Chris laughed nervously before looking into your eyes, “You were too good too.” He meant to joke, but his emotions leaked out through the words.
“Trust me, if I was a man, I'd be apologising for the same thing,” you laughed, trying to ease into talking again, and letting Chris know it was all OK. “I mean, when you pulled me in and like, thrust into me? Fuck, I know you said you have moves but damn, you really have moves!” You joked—or tried to make it seem that way.
“I mean, I'm happy to show you more, if you want.” he said with a wink, leaning into it in a joking manner.
“Bold of you to assume I don't want that.” you returned. The joke slipped out, challenging him, but you weren't expecting his facade to drop as he looked at you with total sincerity.
“Y/N, I—I need to ask you something. Was this, ah, was this just for the video? Cause I could swear I felt something real, and I'm hoping it's not just because I want there to be.”
“I- Thank God I wasn't imagining it.” You smiled and pulled him in. But this wasn't like when the cameras where on you. This was soft. Hesitant. Fragile and delicate but determined to push yourself. Because you couldn't let this slip away. Him slip away. While you were aiming for just a short kiss, a peck, wordlessly checking it was OK, Chris had other ideas.
Suddenly his hands were in your hair, his lips on yours, and instead of passion, there was a soft declaration of love. Just taking time to memorize the feel of your lips. But you were both still worked up, and then the heat came in moments, the kiss like fire. As your tongues danced, Chris slid a hand down your body, stopping to squeeze your ass as he grinded into your leg. You moaned into the kiss, rocking your hips against his.
“Chris,” you moaned, as he started to grind his cock against your clothed core.
“Dammit, how do you get this thing off?” He asked, tugging at your costume, and you laughed.
“Fuck, this stupid costume, we're gonna need to get out of here to get it off... Dressing room?” You suggested.
“I don't know,” Chris said darkly, breathing against your ear. “I was looking forward to fucking you right here in this coffin.”
The statement sent a shiver down your spine. Chris didn't miss this.
“I knew you thought this was hot too,” he said, voice low and leaving a hickey on the small of your neck. Chris slid his hand down to rub against your heat, and you bucked your hips into his hand immediately.
“Fuck, you're a lot darker than I gave you credit for, kitten.” Chris' low voice forced a whimper out of you. Then he stopped. “If I go too far, stop me, OK? I don't want to hurt you... well, unless you want me to.”
“Chris, if you stop now, I will fucking murder you.”
“Can't think of a better way to go.”
“Chris!”
With that, Chris tore the fabric connecting the top and bottom of the costume, sliding your panties off at the same time. Before you could even register the destroyed costume, his thumb was rubbing circles on your clit and you cried out.
“Yes! Just there!” You moaned, and Chris slowed his pace. You were about to protest when you heard the zipper of his of his pants. You reached down and pulled his cock out of his pants, and he groaned as you pumped him slowly.
“Shit, I'm not going to last if you keep touching my like that, Y/N,” Chris moaned airily as he thrust into your hand.
“I'm only teasing you back, baby,” you smirked, letting go and kissing him harshly.
“Uh, I don't have a condom, are you OK with that?” Asked Chris, ever the gentleman.
“I'm on the pill, just fuck me, please.” The last word slipped out before you could stop yourself. As hot as this was, you knew your friend would never let you live this down.
“'Please?' Don't tell me,” Chris said, melodramatic, “you're a sub!”
“Chris, don't make me do it, don't ruin the moment.”
“I'm not ruining anything, all I'm saying is-”
“No,”
“that you have to beg.”
“I am not-” You stopped as Chris rolled on top of you, grinded his cock against your wet core, and bit the spot just below your ear, causing you to let out a high pitched whimper.
“Are you sure about that, darling?” Chris asked in a low voice.
You whimpered more as he rubbed circles on your clit with his thumb.
“Please Chris, I'm begging you, please fuck me!”
With that Chris thrust his full length into you without any warning.
You cried out in a mix of pleasure and pain, the later only making the first more intense. Chris was far bigger than any other guy you'd had, both in length and width, and the stretch was perfection. You could've cum then and there when Chris hammered into you without waiting, groaning into your ear. The noises that man was making could drive you insane. Each thrust was deeper, and took you to a new level as you ran your nails down Chris's back, legs wrapping around him for more, more, more. You were in such a state that neither of you could even feel or hear the coffin jolting with each thrust. You wished you could see more of Chris, but the darkness of the coffin only heightened your other senses. Each thrust felt more powerful, as Chris hit your g spot without fail each time.
It wasn't long before you Chris stopped kissing your neck to groan into your ear, slowing his pace.
“Y/N, I'm gonna cum,” He warned, asking without words what you were comfortable with.
“Cum in me,” you said without missing a beat, and you could've sworn the man whimpered a little. “Please.”
With that, Chris returned to his brutal pace, kissing your lips like he needed you like air. He pinched your nipple, and as a gasp escaped, Chris used this to his advantage for further access. After a moment, you felt his thumb toy with your clit again, slow circles getting faster, and as you felt yourself clench around Chris, the tightness in your stomach released and you felt ecstasy as you bucked wildly, desperate to stay in this moment. Just as you started to come down from your high, Chris released into you, losing control. You couldn't help but climb higher as the man you'd die for moaned into your ear, holding your hips and just losing himself into you.
You two cooled down, breathing hard against each other, the scent of sex heavy in the coffin. Though you could hardly see it, you could feel Chris looking into your eyes. Then his hand brushed some hair from your face and he kissed you sweetly, still inside you. You wrapped your arms around his neck and kissed him lovingly. When the kiss ended, Chris slipped out, and let out a sigh.
“You have no idea how long I've wanted you, Y/N. How much I need you.” Chris's voice was soft and gentle, a stark contrast what took place mere moments ago.
“I feel like I could say the same. Chris, I-” You stopped yourself before you could say how you feel. Because even after all this, the fear remained. But Chris wasn't going to let that get in the way.
“You what?”
“I've liked you for the longest time.” You chickened out.
“Well, I've loved you for years.”
Even in the dark, you looked over at him.
“What?”
“I wrote this song for you, actually. I'm eternally yours. If you'll give me the honour of being so.”
“I love you.” Was all you could say before your lips crashed to his once more in the beautiful blackness.

a/n- so if you're new here I am British and cannot speak any German, I speak a little French, Spanish and Italian but German- no. I also do not trust Google translate so this is gonna be like an avatar thing (if you've seen the newest one Jake says that their language just became normal or something along those lines) so in reality this is all in German, you as a reader know German but, its wrote in English... make sense? no... well, sorry this part has taken a while- I'm on holiday atm so I probably wont be posting till I'm home BUT I didn't want you to be without, also fucking thank you all so much for the response to the first and second part! I can't believe the response to it, I could've cried because im a baby , love you all 🤍
(also to the people who've sent requests they will be coming soon!)

backstory- you are the 5th member of Tokio Hotel and you always thought the love was equally platonic between you and a certain guitarist... but what if that all changed?
"exactly what I said- we can't keep doing the same thing at every show" Georg spoke shovelling eggs into his mouth, the band and our runners, managers, directors, and everyone else who I didn't know exactly what they did for us... were all sat on tables eating breakfast before rehearsal "because I'm sorry if we go on tour I wont wanna blow my brain out because i'm playing by your side for the millionth time"
"yeah but there's a thing called a set list, we have to stick with it otherwise" Bill leaned closer into the table facing all of us "otherwise we'd get shit and we all know how Felix will react- we all remember last time" he had a point, Felix as nice as he can act is a massive cock, once in a performance we decided to all go to the front of that stage to say goodnight- but Felix didn't like that and he ended up cancelling our next 3 shows to 'teach us a lesson'
"even so" the bassist grumbled, the conversation fell short as we all continued to eat, I had a bowl of granola, greek yogurt, raspberries and strawberries, soon the scrapping of a chair pulled me from eating my breakfast, I looked up to see Tom in a huge black shirt and basketball shorts "hungry?" Georg joked seeing the pile of food on his friends plate
"a bit" Tom laughed grabbing part of a waffle "whats that?" he spoke looking at me, that was the first time he spoke to me since what happened only an hour before, I think we were both in a shock state still, but I also couldn't deny how good it felt
"granola, yogurt and fruit" I spoke back digging my spoon into the mix and pulling it back so he could have a taste, he bent forward taking the food and hummed
"Tha actuwally gwood" he spoke mouth still full
"ew Thomas swallow for fucks sake!" I spat seeing him nearly choke the food back up "Tom!" I called pushing myself away from the table "whats wrong with you" I laughed I look to see the rest of the boys laughing as well at his stupidity
"we can't go anywhere nice with you two" Bill commented throwing a napkin to his brother who wiped his mouth and finished his laugh
"sorry- I don't know why that was so funny to hear you say" he snorted, I finally sat back in my place next to Gustav who was eating his food with a smile
"all I said was swallow your food" I argued back looking at the guitarist
"normally me saying that to girls-" I rolled my eyes at his words but everyone else chuckled along, after another half an hour (mostly so Tom could finish his monstrous plate) we were bringing our bags down from the hotel room to put in the bus, we all got in the lift which I don't think was made for 5 people, and 2 of those 5 being over six foot tall
"can you move over I can't fucking breath" I spoke shoving Bill back bit
"now I can't breath you cunt!" Bill called back pushing me back laughing, soon the intercom spoke and the doors opened and I made my way out but was soon tackled by the black haired singer
"BILL WHAT THE FUCK" I shouted with a laugh, I crawled from his grip and began running away seeing him get up to and following my movement "AHHH!" I screamed turning a corner and then slipping past a cleaner cart
"Y/N COME HERE!" I herd Tom voice shout as I sprinted to him with his twin hot on my tail, I watched him open his hotel room and I ran as quick as I could into it and slammed the door spitting out a chuckle hearing the boy hit the door
"BITCH!" Bill sang followed by his own laugh and steps faded away from the door, I sat on Tom's bed and lay my head back into the sheets catching my breath hearing the door open again
"you good now?" He asked smiling at me "I didn't realise you were that fast- I swear you weren't when we were kids"
"excuse me! people change" I answered kicking him slightly, he grabbed my ankle stopping me from moving anymore- I melted at his touch which wasn't a usual thing
"mhm, you changed in a good way babe don't worry about it" he flirted looking down at me the smile changing into a smirk
"you're in a very odd mood today mr Kaulitz" I spoke sitting myself as he let go of my ankle
"only for you-" he leant down, pressing his head on mine "and if I remember properly, who moaned when we kissed earlier? hum?" his hand was now resting on the base of my neck "who was it Y/n?"
"I don't know Tom" I answered seeing him bite his lip at my words "maybe you imagined it?" we always played around, flirting but this was different... very different
"I have a fucking good imagination then don't I?" Tom pulled away slightly, his his fingers brushed my skin as he let go and he held my chin, lifting my face to look up to him "....I prefer looking at you like this" I blushed at his words, they made me feel soft
"bet you say that to all the girls" he seethed rolling his eyes
"only the special ones...and you're really special!"
"way to ruin a mood" I huffed
"I'm joking Y/n/n, you just look hot below me ts'all" his hand held me tighter and he bent to reach my lips, he pressed hard humming into the feeling and sucked my bottom lip causing me to have to hold back any noise I threatened to make as I didn't want a repeat of earlier "I better get packing" he spoke pulling back creasing my cheek with his thumb leaving me with a unfulfilled feeling
"yeah.." I pouted, he looked back down at me and grinned
"god don't look at me like that... fuck- stop now, I've gotta pack" I stood with him as he turned to grab a tossed shirt from the floor, his hand glided down my thigh leaving a trail of goosebumps- he knew what he was doing, making me blush and shudder as his hand left me "oopsie"
┍━━━━━━━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━━━━━━━┑
we all sat backstage kicking our heals as the crowd arrived, but we also knew the crowd was special- our families were watching us tonight, I decided I'd wear a more appropriate outfit (not like my family hadn't seen pictures of me in mini-skirts and tube tops saying 'pouty') I looked alot like Tom, my baggy jeans hanging around my hips with a matching tank top to him "5 minuets!" a runner called making us all rise from our places
"excited?" Georg smiled shoving me lightly
"I can't wait" I spoke pinning around to the music that began, Bill looked back at me with a smile followed by a wink
"3...2...1" Felix called and Tom, Bill entered the stage erring a eruption from the crowd "go!" Georg and I walked on and smiled seeing the sea of fans watching us with grins plastering their faces and finally Gustav entered
"GOOD EVENING TRIER" Bill called holding the mic close "ARE YOU EXCITED!" though the lights were blinding I could make out the shapes of bodies from my place "ugh we have a show n' a half for you all tonight, and this show is very special to us- one, this is our last show here in the lovely Trier and- most importantly our biggest fans are here tonight" the lights moved to the box above the crowd and for the first time in weeks I saw them: mom, dad, Stella, the Kaulitz, Listing and Schäfer family, I nearly cried waving to them and blowing them kisses "so tonight is going to be the best show we've ever done guys! ARE YOU READY" I watched as my family cheered and little Stella clapped her hands. Tom's guitar began the start of Scream followed by Gustav and Bill ran back to main stage, the crowd danced and jumped along "SCREAM" they called back to us at every chorus making me laugh.
The night carried on and everything was going amazingly, and it came time for me to take centre stage, I brought my mic and herd people call my name "so- this is our newest piece of music, I originally wrote when I was in a very bad place, and as you all know I'm back up singer so usually I don't perform up here- so close to everyone so I'm a little nervous but.. but it means a lot to me so.. this is 'please don't jump'" claps filled the room and Tom joined me giving me a nod as he plucked away followed by Gustav and Georg, Bill was in the corner sipping a water watching me like a proud dad
I let my self get lost in the music, stomping my feet and twirling around "don't let memories go! of me and you" I sang watching my family stare in awe, I began up stage onto the platform where I stood teetering on the edge, all lights went off besides the one on me "PLEASE DON'T JUMP! DON'T JUMP, AND IF ALL THAT CAN'T HOLD YOU BACK, THEN I'LL JUMP FOR YOU" I finished bowing to the crowd who burst out with claps, screams and calls making me jump at the sudden noise
"Y/N Y/N Y/N!" people began to chant making me well up, Gustav ran up the platform steps holding my hand gently so I could get down the steps as it was tricky in platforms, hand in hand we met with Tom who smiled widely mouthing 'they're proud' I looked to see my mom whistling, soon the five of us stood at the tip of that walkway, people reached for us, calling us all over
"THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT!" we all shouted bowing once more as the light darkened, we all walked off and back to our room where there were drinks set out and towel "shit Im so thirsty" Georg spoke grabbing the bottle and cracking it open as we all took our first proper breath and relaxed
"erm- sorry I know you got off stage but someones hear" Gayle, my runner spoke holding the door open a little more
"BABA!" a small voice called, I looked down to see Stella dressed in a Tokio Hotel shirt and orange leggings running toward me, her blonde hair tied into piggy tails
"STELLA!" I cried falling to my knees pulling her into my arms "oh my god I missed you so much" I whispered into her neck, her bright eyes looked into mine and I couldn't let go of her, I pressed kisses to her chubby cheeks
"Oh my- Y/n dear! another voice came in and I snapped my head to see my mother, tear stained face reaching for me, I watched as Stella ran onto Gustav who picked her up hugging her tightly and I ran to my mom who was closely followed by the rest of our families "sunshine I missed you!"
"I missed you too mom" I cried as she stroked my hair away from my face, she let go and I turned to see my dad who had Tom in a bro-hug
"aww hello Poppy!" he spoke, I nearly fell apart hearing my nickname again, and he grabbed me into the hug "aw that was amazing kids" he spoke letting go of us, I stood speaking with them until I herd the voice of my sister
"Tommy!" she laughed and everyones faces snapped to her
"SHE SAID MY NAME!" The dreadheaded boy called lifting her into his arms and tickling her "ME BEFORE BILL!" he danced seeing her smile
"Hey! Stella I thought you liked me more!" Bill huffed squishing the cheeks of her face
"am I the better twin?...yeah! I know" Tom scoffed bouncing her on his hip, our families laughed and all began hugging each other
"darlings that show was fantastic and the crowd! I couldn't believe it" Simone, the twins mom smiled "I couldn't be more proud"
"thanks mom" Bill hugged pressing a kiss to her cheek "wait..erm hold on!" we all watched as the singer ran out calling for something, I turned to see Stella smiling and reaching for all the boys, Tom, Georg and Gustav were sat on the floor singing songs and twirling her around, the song finished and Stella did a bow making the boys laugh at her antics
"Baba!" the little blonde called reaching for me, Tom realised and quickly scooped her up so she was lying on her tummy with her arms out she began airplane sounds (but kept interrupting herself with her chuckles) "Brrrrrrrrr!" she grinned showing her two small teeth
"aww my baby airplane" I spoke reaching for her as Tom got closer, the two reached me and I took my sister from his arms spinning her while pressing a kiss to her cheek again "you're a very cute plane Stella"
"Plane!" she repeated getting a 'yeah a plane' from the guitarist who couldn't stop smiling
"Okay... everyone come stand over here were getting a photo!" Bill came back in grabbing his family, the line up was the Kaulitz' far left, then my family the Y/l/n's, then the Schäfer's and finally Listing's "We want a few!" Bill called to the person holding the camera
"1...2....3" everyone did a wide smile, even Stella knew what was going on "perfect, do you want another one of these then we can do different stuff like.. the point?" its like a lightbulb went off it the taller twins head
"okay yes... then the point, then serious faces, then one with us 5 a bit more infront of our families, then on chairs" he rambles while setting us all back out for the next 3000 photo's we'd be taking
I don't think I've ever herd the numbers 1,2 and 3 said so much in my life but after half an hour the pictures were finally done and in fairness they looked great "well we best get going" Christine, Georg's mom spoke grabbing her bag
"oh.." we began before Simone whispered something to her husband
"why don't you all come stay round ours? we can have a family night, drinks, games, food" me and the band cheered, quickly grabbing our stuff and getting ready to walk out- we knew that today being a day show, fans would be waiting for us- we decided the safest option was to give our families over to security along with our bags and walk out on our own
"okay Stella we'll see you in a little while okay?" I hugged her once more before giving her over to dad who was carrying her out, we waited till we knew they were in their cars and I came the time we'd be walking out, with one last check of the room we began outside, screams filled our ears, people threw flowers to us, cards, papers and... thongs- but we picked the flowers up. a few people grabbed at my clothing but besides that it was a safe 3 minuet walk from the building to the bus
"they were loud" Gustav spoke getting into his favourite seat, at the very back on the left "Georg come sit!" he called to the bassist who jumped through the seats, leaving Bill who liked sitting in the front then me and Tom sat in the middle two seats
"god I fucking loved that show" I spoke belting myself in, Tom did the same and our hands brushed- its not something that many would really worry about, it was an accident.. but I could help go hot at the feeling
"it was so good, I feel like we'll be in Felix's good books" the dreaded boy spoke getting a nod from the band, we finally began the drive home, it would only take around an hour and a half so I got myself comfy which meant me resting my legs over Tom- this was a normal thing as usually sometime around the trip we'd switch and I can accidentally put my cold drink on his legs while he's asleep definitely not making him yelp- no not at all...
"can you take my shoes off, you're closer" I spoke tapping his shoulder and with a huff he began unlacing the platforms, I sighed at the feeling of my feet going light and not having to lug those shoes around any more "thanks bab" I called leaning my head back, Tom got comfy to, scooting deeper into the seat and his hands lay on my legs drawing small shapes and humming a long to whatever song was on the radio
"wanna know something crazy?" He asked looking over at me to which I nodded "I haven't fucked a girl since Tuesday, and its Friday now" I pretend to be shocked, slapping my hands to my face
"holy shit! that is crazy!" he rolled his eyes "I can't even remember when I last fucked someone- probably around my birthday" I sighed slightly annoyed, not that I'm some sex freak who needs to be constantly fucked to live but... my birthday is in February and its now July
"damn... how do you go that long?" Georg spoke uncrossing his arms, being genuinely interested
"Notta clue... I-"
"Y/n I know whats in the back draw in your room" Bill turned showing a sinister smile
"Bill!" I called knowing exactly what he was on about
"ooo" the boys cooed making me go red, Bill laughed even harder pointing at my face "aww! she's embarrassed about her dil-"
"BILL SHUT IT!" I shouted flinging my empty water bottle at him making him cackle throwing his pillow at me
"IT'S BLACK!" He called and the 4 boys Burt out laughing again spluttering words and coughing at how much they were laughing
"oh my god you are all dicks!" I groaned trying to push myself as far back into my seat as I could, I even took my legs down from Tom who I could realised but I was way to embarrassed to give him a 'look'
┍━━━━━━━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━━━━━━━┑
"he traffic isn't moving so were going to be a little later to the Kaulitz" Gregory our driver spoke facing us
"ugh" we all collectively sighed, its been over 30 minuets of just stand-still traffic, cars horns went off but nothing was moving and being a warm day in a quite packed van it was getting hot
we'd moved past the dildo conversation thanks to Tom who made a fool of himself by spilling water all down his shirt- I did wonder though, was it on purpose? to take away the attention from me... but anyways whatever it was, or even just it was an accident- my legs were back on his and he continued to draw little shapes
"I'm going to sleep" Bill spoke looking back to which we gave a nod, by we I mean me and Tom as the other two fell asleep a few minuets back, the van sound turned quiet as the radio was turned off
"wanna play a game?" Tom spoke quietly
"sure, which game?" I asked seeing a little grin appear to his face
"erm... eye spy?"

Sweets🍭 Asks: "Heeeey! It's me! I've just been struggling with ideas because....ive been thinking about things unrelated to sunny day Jack
BUT HEAR ME OUT
Remember that one fic you wrote with Jean and Joseph with teacher MC
Yeah that but...mc is the director\creator of the sunny time crew and here's the kicker
They are extremely miserable
They hate their job
They hate their life
They hate children
They probably hate Jean and Joseph too
Will that stop them from flirting with this tired annoyed grumpy director?
Nope! I mean Jack and Rory were made to make people happy!
It's gonna be a piece of cake
...right?"
Tumblr media
Oh Sweets hellooooooo!!! I love you!!! You always bring me the absolute most banger ideas!!!
I love the idea of them both falling for this person who looks like they haven't slept in weeks and visibly loathes every moment they're on set lmao
Content: hatred of children, general depression, ngl reader just sort of sucks, smoking, absolutely shamelessly dirty flirting, suicidal ideation/joking about suicide, reader is not okay
Tumblr media
Coffee isn't enough anymore. You need an IV drip of caffeine straight into your blood stream. Or some heavy drugs. Or a real hard blow to the head with a baseball bat. At this point, you're not picky. Whatever gets you off this stupid set.
The SunnyTime Crew Show. Your crowning achievement. The idea that made your career. Shown across millions of tv sets all over the country every single day. Shown to all those little ankle biters you can't stand the sight of, too young and useless to so much as wipe their own asses.
It's all bright colours and simple words and stupid, terrible songs that get stuck in your head on loop until you want to bash your brains in against a wall. Not that it takes much for you to feel that way these days. Especially given the people you're working with.
Joseph Haberdae and Jean Laurent. Rising star and bossy diva. The constant bickering. The even more constant flirting. The adlibbed lines. The relentless cheer while the cameras roll. And the insufferable questions when they don't. They take the whole thing so fucking seriously. Like this is anything more than some drivel for parents to shove their kids in front of when they can't be bothered to parent anymore.
Maybe you don't hate the kids, maybe it's the parents you resent. Always shoving crying babies into your arms during live recordings so their "precious child" can get a better look at the set. Demanding the show teach this or that lesson. Begging for the Crew to come work birthday parties.
But no, you can't stand wiping little noses and listening to the shrieks. Kids have always given you the creeps, but now they piss you off. Always saying weird things and rubbing their sticky fingers all over set. You're just lucky the stars are better with the kids than you are.
"Should we cut?" Your brought out of your stewing annoyance by the sound of your PA whispering in your ear.
You down the last of your coffee and shove the cup into his hands, a silent demand for more. "Cut!"
You hadn't noticed the scene end. But it didn't matter, Joseph and Jean had started improvising lines anyway, as they so often did. Your eye twitches in annoyance. You don't spend your time yelling at the writers to get every line perfect just for these idiots in costumes to make shit up.
"Haberdae, Laurent." You snap your fingers and point to the spot in front of you. "Everyone else, take five. Then we reshoot. We get it right this time or every single one of you is out of a goddamn job."
As the rest of the cast and crew file out for their break, the two men stand at attention before you. They know where this conversation is going. It's the same one you have every time they so much as change a single word from the script.
"So, which school was it?" You cross you arms and scowl at them both.
They exchange a look of confusion before Joseph ventures a reply. "What?"
"Which school? SoCal? Columbia? You do RTF at Austin?" They can tell your tone is derisive, but they're still not sure what you're getting at. You roll your eyes. "Where you studied screenwriting. I assume you've got some writing background, since you're always changing my fucking script."
Oh. Ohhhhh. Okay, they're on the same page as you now. Joseph has the good grace to look chastised, staring at his feet like a kicked puppy. Jean isn't one to be so easily intimidated. He raises an eyebrow and shrugs.
"What was it today, your assistant got you the wrong coffee? Or did some kid get ketchup all over your copy of the script?" He's used to your bad moods. They both are, but he's not swayed by them. "If you'd actually watched the take rather than staring off into space, you'd realise it was better than the shit your writers came up with."
You purse your lips. He's... probably not wrong. It's hard to find good writers who are willing to throw their talents away on a show like this. And they do both have an admirable understanding of their characters. Much as you hate them, they're true to your original vision. The vision you wished you'd never had.
With a reluctant sigh, you move to rewatch the take. Your PA hands you your coffee and a lit cigarette before hastily retreating, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire of whatever's going on. It's a relief, the burn of the smoke in your throat followed by the burn of the scalding coffee.
"Watch."
Joseph's behind you, hands hovering just over your waist as his breath brushes against your ear. Damn this infuriatingly handsome man and his lack of personal space. You grit your teeth and focus on the screen, ignoring the huge man all but pressed against your back. He and Jean crowd you, trying to get a good look at the viewer as you play back the scene.
It's... good. Better than the script. You don't want to admit it out loud, but their additions make more sense with the episode's story, and sound more like Jack and Rory. Damn them.
"See?" Joseph's lips brush against your ear, one hand making contact with your waist for just a moment to give it a soothing rub. "Not bad, right?"
You shove him aside, taking a long drag of your cigarette and pretending to mull it over. As if there's any question. He watches you closely, with all the eagerness of youth and all the ego of an actor who knows he's good at his job.
"Fine." You breathe the word out in a plume of smoke. "It's good enough, I guess. We don't have time for another take anyway."
Joseph grins, leaning an arm on your shoulder like you're an old friend rather than his director. "Come on, you can admit it. We're good."
You sneer at him, trying to nudge his massive forearm off you. But he doesn't budge. Instead, Jean takes up an identical position leaning on your other shoulder.
"So tense," he tuts and shakes his head. "Come on, you can praise us sometimes, you know."
With a roll of your eyes, you resign yourself to once again being crowded by the two men. You can't honestly say you mind it. "Why, so you can get off to it later? I've got about as much interest in stroking your goddamn egos as I do in stroking your pathetic cocks."
"Watch out," Jean's voice is a familiar, teasing lilt. Though it feels directed as much at Joseph as it is at you. "Talk like that might just get Joseph all riled up."
"Eugh." You mime throwing up, ducking from under their arms to grab your coffee and down some more. "Don't need to know about your humiliation kink, thanks."
Joseph's redder than he'd care to admit, but he tries to brush it off. "You know, I didn't realise you thought about stroking our cocks that often. Or our egos."
"Maybe a quick romp would help loosen you up a bit?" Jean suggests, raising an eyebrow with a quirk of his lips. "Keep you focused on your job. Is that why you've got that thousand yard stare every time we shoot? Too busy thinking about fucking us in our dressing rooms?"
From an outside perspective it might seem like sexual harassment in the workplace, but... you encourage it in your own way. You could easily set boundaries if you wanted to, but their flirting—however much they annoy you—is the only interesting part of your life right now. The only part that doesn't make you consider jumping off the roof of the studio.
"Too busy thinking about the easiest way to off myself, more like. Still trying to decide between throwing myself in the reservoir and just jumping in front of the next car I see."
"Well, wouldn't that be a waste of a pretty face?"
Jean's not worried by your theatrics. It's not the first time you've loudly proclaimed your intentions to off yourself, nor will it be the last. It never stops you coming in the next day, looking as dead behind the eyes as ever, and yelling at everyone you see.
"Pretty face." You snort, trying not to choke on your coffee. "What, is it the eyebags or the fact that I haven't had time for a decent meal in months?"
"I think it's your smile." Joseph's always so... genuine. He flirts like Jean, of course, but sometimes he'll throw something so earnest at you that it winds you. "We don't get to see it often, but... you've got a really nice smile."
It feels like he's punched you in the chest, not given you a sweet compliment. It's time to put a stop to this for now. The flirting's gone past entertaining and straight into that dangerous territory that leaves you worried you might do something stupid. Like fall for one or both of them. Not to mention, you've still got half a day of filming this bullshit left.
"Fuck off to makeup, be back on set in two. We'll pick up with Rory's baking lesson."
With a stern nod to the stage door, the two hurry off. You feel like you can breathe again. When they're around, you start to get claustrophobic. Or maybe coulrophobic. Or maybe just... you feel vaguely nauseous at even the shadow of a thought about having romantic feelings for either of the frustrating, handsome actors.
Nope.
No way.
Definitely not.
Not while you have the world's worst tv show to direct.
.
.
.
God you hate your life.

I could literally fall asleep any minute but im nothing if not sleep deprived and watching my favourite gay little shows!
Tumblr media
hey nawa, I see you looking at guy as he struggles in the room on his crutches
you should kiss him
I think that you should absolutely just slam your face into his
give him another injury but its not really an injury it's just a hickey
(we're less than a minute into the episode and im already begging guynawa to make out, we're off to a great start)
Tumblr media
we all know this is a complete lie, we've seen the trailers, we know what's gonna happen
but that doesnt mean it doesnt hurt my sad little gay soul
Tumblr media
sailom what the hell
no way
no
you are not quitting school
is that a frikin letter of resignation or smth? can you even do that?
Tumblr media
I love that solution and I wish it were a possibility but sailom's gonna say no, of course he's gonna say no, because the stupid bastard doesn't like accepting help for free
he doesn't understand the concept of FRIENDSHIP and FAVOURS
BITCH YOU CAN ACCEPT HELP, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO ACCEPT HELP, THEY ARE SO SO WILLING TO HELP AND GIVE YOU MONEY AND SCHOLARSHIPS AND PLATONIC LOVE AND H E L P
O4EKLGHNVWOERISDLGI HE MAKES ME SO ANGRY I HATE HIM
Tumblr media
guy's right, and I hate sailom so much for it
Tumblr media
BUT THAT'S THE THING, he WONT ask for help, theres no way in HELL that he'll ask for help
which is precisely how he ends up getting shot at, alone on a street corner, and why kang will have to rescue him on his bike, and why sailom will stand in the bathroom with kang holding a blanket over him as he sobs 'I have no one left'
its not that you have no one left. it's that you wont accept the help from the people who love you
(and also your brother kind of abandoned you and your parents are dead and your boyfriend also kind of abandoned you and yeah anyone would definitely feel alone in that situation so he's perfectly valid, but also ALL of his friends are offering help, his teacher is offering help, and he's accepting NONE of it)
Tumblr media
HUG TIME
OH MAN IM ALREADY SOBBING
I LOVE MEANINGFUL GROUP HUGS SO MUCH
this could be one of the last times that they see sailom for a really long time. theres no way I could possibly be sadder holy frick
Tumblr media
I SPOKE TOO SOON
WHY MUST THERE BE FLASHBACKS
WHY
I HATE EVERYTHING
Tumblr media
y'know, I really thought he might hug him. but nope. he wrenched that pin off his shirt and took my heart in the process.
Tumblr media
OMG
YES
THE PERFECT THING TO MAKE ME REMEMBER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE HAPPY
GUYNAWA TIME PLEASE GUYNAWA TIME
Tumblr media
NOOOOO THE SCENE CUT BEFORE NAWA WALKED INTO THE LITTLE ROOM THINGY TO TALK TO GUY IM SO MAD
well, not really mad
mostly just sad
Tumblr media
bitch wth
of COURSE he's not frikin doing alright
Tumblr media
omg he's here too?
go talk to your boyfriendddd
and also ANSWER MY QUESTIONS PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU IM SO CONFUSED GIVE ME ANSWERS
Tumblr media
awh :(
thank you krup ;-;
this man is lovely
not just for this but also just in general
but also his actor is the freaking DIRECTOR who is RESPONSIBLE for a LOT of my anguish so we can't be too nice to this guy
Tumblr media
oh look at that. the shooting scene is right about to happen
I was expecting it to come later on in the episode but this works too I guess
Tumblr media
who the hell are these guys???
they dont say a word
what the hell is going on
Tumblr media
thank you kanggg
where did he come from tho
how'd he know where sailom was and that that was happening? did he just HAPPEN to be in the area?
or is he tracking sailom's phone just to make sure he's safe cos like he already got drugged once
Tumblr media
hey man, have you ever heard of a little thing called dodgeball?
shocking, I know, but it IS possible for a gun to have been fired, and for the person being fired at to not actually get shot
I can't think of a single reason why sailom would make up this story. like sure you could argue that hes just trying to get an enemy/rival convicted, but he very explicitly stated that he has no idea who tried to shoot him, so it can't be that.
why the hell are you suspicious my guy?
acab is real man, holy frick
Tumblr media

You see the known Sherlock fandom tactics in Loki. I see the same, only from the Supernatural fandom perspective. Same kind of vocabulary, terms, accusations, unhinged analyses. You're absolutely right to call them migratory, they seem to be pulling the same shit in every fandom they're in.
The thing about them that disgusts me the most is that now they are painting some narrative around those fandoms as if they were the poor victims that were 'humiliated' by the evil writers.
“Oh, these writers forced us to invest ourselves in this and it didn't go how we wanted! It's their fault our feefes are hurt!” Like? Did they hear themselves? You know who I blame when I invest myself in a bad show? Myself. Last year I was like that with HOTD, the writing was so bad a child could make it better, but it was my own fault for thinking HBO would actually hire someone competent when they didn't bother the first time. So I stopped watched... and that's it. End of the story, not watching Season 2.
These people acted like complete pieces of shit! Maybe they have deluded themselves into thinking they're poor victims, but getting a jockey 'RIP' from Mark Gatiss after you tweeted him that you'll die if your stupid ship doesn't become canon, doesn't paint you as some little martyrs, but as crazy idiots that couldn't cope with a narrative they don't want to accept.
I swear is like fandoms now forget how fucking nasty these people were to cast and crew and other fans. I remember quite well how they harassed Molly's actress after Season 4 because she shared some script notes on twitter and acted as if they were the poor victims and she didn't understand their 'pain' like... Give me a break.
And yes, same tactics in the Loki fandom: Threatening the actors (remember when they say they would share Tom Hiddleston address and then they kept and keep being shits about Sophia Di Martino), threatening directors (the whole mess with Kate Herron) and the writers like... They literally haven't matured in fifteen years, they are stunted in their pathetic victim complex.
But yeah, keep saying how the writers 'traumatized you'. Honey, you were always like that. The difference between you and the writers is that they have actually moved on like the adults they are.

My Boyfriend's Back Chapter Forty-Three
I walked into the living room and rested my hands on the back of the couch. "Yn!" I sighed, pushed off the couch, and made my way to Sidney. When I walked out the door and down the steps, I stopped. Right across from the set of Stu's house was ours. "What the fuck?" I whispered. Sidney was standing right in front of the house that was made to look exactly like our childhood home.
We walked into the house and looked around. They had a set for Sidney's bedroom and mine. They looked exactly like they did when we were in high school. "This is insane," I said, standing by the windows in Sidney's bedroom. "Yeah, it takes me right back to that week," she said. The next couple seconds happened so fast we had no time to comprehend anything.
We were running through the set of our house until we were back in the room that was burned into our brains forever. Our mothers room looked damn near identical to that very night. They even had a dumb under a white blood-stained sheet on the floor. Then it stood up and started talking, saying our names. We backed up towards the window, and I climbed out with Sidney close behind.
Sidney's foot slipped and she grabbed a hold of me only to make us both fall and tumble off the roof. Voices yelling our names caught our attention. Dewey and Randy came into view along with the detectives and other officers came running towards us. Sidney frantically told them the killer was in the house. But when they checked there was no one there. That wasn't a surprise.
Now Sidney and I were alone in Kindaids office. "So…Kincaid is handsome…" I was walking around the room looking at everything. I stood in front of the whiteboard where they had names and leads written on it. "Yeah, he is." Sidney said in a distracted tone. I turned around to see her looking at something. "What's that?" I asked.
"A file on me. There's one for you too,'she said and handed it to me. I opened it to see police reports from when our mom was murdered, newspaper clippings from after Stu and Billy's killing spree. When I flipped the page there was a paper that had Stu's name with a question mark. His wanted poster was behind it with other clippings. Then I saw something that made my heart stop then speed up.
Is yn Prescott hiding Stu Macher?
Is he the father of her child Resselynn Prescott?
Has she known where he's been since the Woodsboro massacre?
"Are you okay?" Sidney asked. "He thinks I'm hiding Stu," I whispered. "What?" She gently took the file from me and went silent. "Is…is Stu…" I stopped her before she could completely ask me that question. I walked over and closed the door so no one could hear us. "We both know that you all know he is. He was at Windsor. He was behind Windsor actually. And I know I shouldn't have done anything. I should have called the police. It was stupid and now… I love my daughter and I'm glad I have her."
"I know you were seeing him. You're not very good at hiding shit. Just like I knew every time he snuck into your room. Do you know where he is now?" She asked. I gave a look and she sighed. "He just showed up, Sid. Now Reese is attached to him. I couldn't just say no to him, I was afraid he'd do something. And I hate myself because I still love him!"
Before we could get into it more Sidney's cell phone rang. There was no surprise to who it was either. The killer had Gale and Dewey, she said she could hear their muffled screams in the background. Now we were outside a big mansion on top of a hill. There was supposed to be a party for Roman Bridge, the director of Stab 3, here. The mansion belongs to a big time producer or something.
Instead of going for the front door we went around back to where the pool was. Laying on the ground was one of the actors; dead. Sidney's phone rang and she answered. He made us use a metal detector and get rid of the guns we took from Kincade's office. When asked how we knew this wasn't some trap we were told to look inside. Through the window we could see Gale and Dewey tied to chairs with rope.
Nothing made sense when Kincade showed up. At first I thought maybe I was wrong and Stu didn't have anything to do with any of this. But he had admitted to killing Cotton. Kincade being the killer faded just as fast as the thought came when he was shot. Randy was right about this killer being "superhuman". He was shot several times and nothing happened except for him disappearing.
Somehow we all got separated. I was alone, walking the halls slowly, making sure to look around each corner. I yelped when I ended up running into someone. "Shh! It's me. It's just me!" Hands were holding me by the shoulders. I looked up to see Randy. "Randy?" He put his finger to his lips and pulled me into what looked like the study. "What the hell? When did you get here?" I asked. He looked at me like I lost my mind. You called me, yn. You said to meet you here."
It was my turn to look at him like he was crazy. "Umm…no. No, I did not. What the fuck are you talking about?" I never called him. The last time I spoke to him was right before Sidney and I were taken back to the station. "You fucking called me…" he was cut off by someone banging on the door. I looked around the room for any place to hide, even though I knew that was impossible.
Then I saw it; the smallest amount of light coming from under one of the bookcases. "Hey, help me. This has to be one of those secret doors or something." I checked for a seam that could be pulled but found nothing. Randy started to pull on the books, throwing them on the floor, so I began to help him. My hand landed on one of the books and pulled down. The bookcase swung out towards us, and we rushed into a small hallway. Randy pulled the bookcase closed and locked it from our side before we continued on.

genlossneg · 10 months
Note
Any short film or media project can be submitted to film festivals pretty much off the bat so long as you appropriately own all the copyrighted material or have permission to use it
There's hundreds of smaller film festivals that ranboo could've submitted genloss too, including film festivals with focuses on experimental media like genloss is. But ranboo ran straight for an Emmy, the cream of the crop and literally nowhere else
It's both a mix of a massive ego and ignorance. Obviously I go to film school so this information was given to me by professors and it was discussed pretty extensively in class, but if Ranboo was genuinely trying to make genloss into anything, I don't think it's crazy to assume he should've submitted genloss to these film festivals that are much more in the lane of what genloss is
Also what peeves me off is because film makers have a crazy stupid amount of passion. I'm surrounded by them in my classes, my profs, we learn about them. And most of these people also have huge egos, and honestly what I've found is that very rarely can this ego be backed up by any substance.
But at the very least, they have an ego and they're trying to do something with it and actively putting in so many hours
Ranboo quite simply hasn't put in any time to make genloss, much like his extraordinarily misplaced budget, he didn't use his time where he shouldn've (don't worry one day I'll jump into your inbox and talk about the incredibly misplaced budget)
The way my particular program works is we all produce a short film at the end of each semester. We get a crew and actors and locations all on a college student budget and one of my classmates actually submitted their work for a film festival and got nominated for their category (very proud of them)
I didn't because I know my film wasn't very good. Am I proud of it, yes! I'm insanely happy with how it came out. But I have the self-awareness to know overall, it isn't this amazing thing that everyone needs to know about
Ranboo lacks this self-awareness, which along with any art, is absolutely critical for growth. Ranboo has never spoken about how he wishes he had done genloss differently or any regrets he had (aside from time crunch or things they couldn't make work) and that's how I know he didn't actually learn anything from this first run of genloss
Because the reality is, genloss wasn't good. And like my film, Ranboo can be proud of what he did as well as critical of the final product
An artist should always be their own worst critic because then they can see what the did wrong and then try and improve
Ranboo's biggest problems from my very limited perspective is a lack of understanding of how to tell a story, the lack of a backbone. He rushed genloss for an arbitrary reason. The production management was a joke too
To go for an Emmy, you're saying you think you are good enough for the highest prestige and that you believe that you've put in the appropriate amount of time and hours and that your work is worthy of gaining international recognition. And if Ranboo submitted it for the meme, that makes it worse. It shows his complete and utter lack of respect for the craft
Now, do bad movies exist, yes. Do I love some bad movies, also yes. But never have you heard of these directors hyping up these movies the way Ranboo has. And yeah, sometimes movies are cashgrabs. But again, the attitude ranboo carries as the director of genloss rubs me and so many other people so wrong as well as the attitude of boobers who think genloss is peak media. I can easily admit a movie I really like is objectively terrible but I still find enjoyment but boobers would flay you for daring say genloss isn't good (shout out live action Scooby Doo movies. They're absolutely terrible but they're fun to watch and I have fond memories of them from my childhood)
Apologies for the essay
-film student anon
film student anon this essay is wonderful. theres so much here i don't think i could reply to it all, and i really appreciated your takes on film festivals and passion projects vs the emmys. some of my favorite bits:
There's hundreds of smaller film festivals that ranboo could've submitted genloss too, including film festivals with focuses on experimental media like genloss is. But ranboo ran straight for an Emmy, the cream of the crop and literally nowhere else
To go for an Emmy, you're saying you think you are good enough for the highest prestige and that you believe that you've put in the appropriate amount of time and hours and that your work is worthy of gaining international recognition.
so big brain here. i would just keep quoting your ask in my reply because you make a ton of great points of effort not equaling quality.
i think the thing that gets me is that your first try of something is never going to be perfect. even with all the practice in the world your first try always is a bit messy, and that's how you get experience. but by submitting it for an emmy, it implies this first try was perfect, or at least close enough to be considered for such a high award. and like.. it wasn't horrible but it certainly had flaws.
i'll be so curious to see what happens with all this when the nominees get announced and what the fandom does with whatever happens

hiii can you pleassseee do a JD one shot - where sweet reader (not famous) has a hugeee crush on him, he has no idea but everyone else does & when she does eventually confess, he doesn't feel the same way. but he can't seem to get her out of his head after it and eventually he realizes she's it and catches her by surprise w a passionate kiss/confession!! (age gap, fluff) request by anon
summary: even when Johnny convinces himself he doesn't feel the same way about y/n, maybe, they were indeed meant to be together
pairing: Johnny Depp X personal assistant!reader
warning: fluff
Tumblr media
Y/n stared lovingly at Johnny as he acted out his lines to perfection, her hands full with his things: his water bottle, script for the next take, and buch other things.
The more she kept looking at Johnny, the more she realised how hard she'd fallen and to the point of no return. She knew she shouldn't feel the things she's feeling with almost thirty years of age gap and their boss-employee relation, but how could anyone not fall for the man. He's perfect in each and every sense.
"If you keep staring, he'll prolly think you're a physcho."
Dakota's sudden appearance made Y/n gasp in shock. "God Dako! Stop scaring me!" She sighed at her best friend.
Dakota shrugged, now standing beside Y/n. "Stop staring, honestly. He's gonna freak out."
Y/n sighed deeply knowing her friend is telling the truth. "Yeah...but I wanna tell him how I feel. Then, atleast I'll sleep soundly even if he doesn't feel the same," she breathed in, the mere thought of confession made her heart thump loudly against her rib cage.
Dakota turned to Y/n and engulfed her in a warm embrace. "I'm so happy that you finally decided to tell him about your feelings. He will like you back, I'm telling you. And if he doesn't, he's a fool," she smiled to cheer her friend.
Y/n nodded feeling hopeful. But the thought that he may not feel the same, lingered on the back of her mind.
The director yelled cut and Johnny jogged upto the two ladies, smiling brightly.
"What we talking about?" He asked, taking his water bottle from y/n's hands and taking a swig of the liquid.
Dakota smirked. "Oh you know how Y/n should confess her feelings to her crush," she nudged y/n slightly by her elbow, making y/n blush.
Johnny looked a bit confused. "Oh really? Didn't know you liked someone, Y/n", he chuckled awkwardly.
Y/n glanced at Dakota, and she took take her leave with an excuse of a phone call, leaving the pair alone.
"It's nearly 12:30. Isn't it time for break?" She took a look at her wrist watch.
Johnny nodded.
"I can bring you the food if you want, Me. Depp otherwise maybe we can go together?" She asked expectantly, already preparing herself for the not-so-fun answer.
Johnny chuckled. "Yes we can go together and how many times do I have to tell you not to call me Mr. Depp? That makes me sound ancient," he smiled. "Let me grab my things then we'll leave."
Y/n nodded again, a soft smile on her face as she thought maybe all things doesn't have to have a bad ending.
•••
The two sat on a table of two as they waited for the food to arrive. That talked about work, filming, life in general. The food arrived shortly after and they started eating.
Y/n looked up from her plate and stared at Johnny.
"Uhhh...Mr. De— no sorry, Johnny? I have to tell you something," she breathed in, ready to finally get her feelings out in the open.
"Yeah anything," He smiled yet again.
"I-I...like you. I know I shouldn't but I do," she immediately looked down to avoid his gaze.
Johnny kept quite not saying anything for a bit. Then after a few minutes, he spoke again.
"I'm sorry Y/n, but I don't feel the same. You're the most sweet and loving person I've met. It's just that I don't see you like that," he said, softly.
Y/n's eyes blurred with tears as she tried her best not to let them fall. She knew it'd go this way but her stupid heart won't stop nagging her. She already knew this would never work out even if he did like her back.
It's the way their fate had been written.
She finally looked up, wiping a stray tear cascading down her face. Then, with a smile, she forwarded her hand towards Johnny.
"It's all good. But we can still be friend?" She smiled brightly as if her heart isn't broken in two halves at the moment.
Johnny smiled in return, clasping his hand with hers in a firm shake.
They smiled at each other, continuing their meal.
•••
It's been a week since y/n confessed her feelings towards Johnny, a week since they got on terms to remain friends as before.
But for some reason, Johnny couldn't keep his mind off her.
He thought of everytime, Y/n asked him if he was okay even if it wasn't her place to do so.
Thought of everytime she looked after him. Everytime, she calmed him down from a panic attack. Everytime she stood by him no matter what.
She has become more than an assistant to him. She's became the person he needs the most in his life, and the one he cannot live without.
So, he planned, the next day on set, he'll tell her how he feels. He's been to quick to judge how he felt at the moment.
He didn't think his heart would betray his mind and fall for the sweet girl whom he thought was just a friend.
He knew he'd done wrong and he needed to fix it.
•••
Y/n sat beside Dakota on her chair, her head resting in her friend's shoulder.
"I told you Dako, he doesn't feel the same. Why did I have to listen to you and my stupid heart and tell him! God I'm such and idiot!" She scoffed, annoyed at herself.
Dakota combed her hand through Y/n's hair, sighing sadly. "No, Y/n. You're not an idiot. He is. And now at least, you'll be able to move past him. You know what? I'm setting up a blind date for you this weekend. You need to get over him."
Y/n nodded. "Yeah you're right."
A minute or two later, Johnny running to the both of them, heaving for air.
Y/n stood up abruptly. "Where are you coming from and why did you run?" She asked, scrambling though his bag to hand him his water bottle.
Johnny grabbed her by the shoulder, stopping all her movements.
In a snap, he pushed his lips against her plump ones.
Dakota gasped watching the two of the them.
The kiss even shocked Y/n, not responding to it. When Johnny felt that he'd done something he shouldn't have and was about to pull away, Y/n kissed him back, pulling him deeper by the back of his neck.
Dakota got her cue to walk away, smiling as the idiots finally kissed. She's been shipping them for months now.
They kissed each other for as long as their lungs would allow them, breaking away when they needed air to fill their lungs.
Y/n smiled softly, confused. "Wait, what?"
Johnny put his head against Y/n's and sighed. "I didn't know what I was say that day. I realised I don't want to have you just as a friend. I want you to be my girlfriend. Would you like that?" He asked, his eyes hopeful.
"I'd love that," Y/n smiled, pecking him on the cheek.

911 season 7 episode 2:
we know this man waving a gun around and shooting people is eeeeevil because he says lady captain.
mr. cruise director has the dongle! because he's eeeeevil too. or at least stupid
fjdk i was expecting them to pull a "i'm not a medical doctor" with how this guy was acting, but no, he IS a gp, it's just that for the drama we need bobby to have to tackle this alone
asshole driver: "are you important? do you matter?" fjkdfd. cool it with the existential questions, my guy
"you come at me again, i'll have your badge." "i'm not a police officer." "a- and you won't be anymore either!" smooth save! well done! also love that when chimney says he's not police we see him just turning away from giving hen a confused Look. besties!
ah, of course we need to give hen a guilt complex over a choice she makes as captain.
having a firefighter be in charge of taking care of your gunshot wound is really...... gambling with your life! ba-dum tss!
Tumblr media
bobby answering to "are you happy?" with "yeah. yeah, i am." somewhat bafflingly had me close to tearing up. god, i love that for him.
said "nooo" out loud when machine room man followed the cable and opened the door. the poor guy did not deserve that :(
anyway, a bomb! if only starsky and hutch had been on this boat doing tense homoerotic bomb collection in weirdly long sweaty scenes, this could all have been prevented
not at ALL the point here (everything is sad and awkward in understandable ways, i'm not getting into it), but this is such a gorgeous jacket
Tumblr media
guy who desperately wants his chips cashed out: "did we hit an iceberg or something?" fjdkfd. do you think they ever play titanic in cruise ship movie theaters, or is that a subtly banned sort of movie? also, second titanic reference in two episodes, together with the comment athena's therapist made! can we get three?
i know the wife guy trope has fallen out of favor, but. bobby is doing it very well.
SO annoying that athena doesn't pick up her phone while she's on a sinking cruise ship taking on duties that the injured captain can't perform. >:(
fdjkf i love that karen is absolutely right when she tells hen that athena and bobby's cruise is going to be totally fine and there's nothing to worry about, except this is the world of People Who Are Involved In Big Giant Emergencies Every Two Weeks, so hen, in worrying way too much, is the one who's actually right. these two episodes are just married couples with one partner WAY overreacting in a way that turns out to be Correct. if things keep going this way in a few more seasons they might start to figure out they're main characters.
now bobby is WET and still looking for his wife. the universe just doesn't want to give this man the normal sweet honeymoon he was trying to have.
"where is she?" "saving the ship." "of course she is." tired wet middle aged golden retriever man considers wishing his wife were a little less heroic: part [insert number here].
fjdkfd. hen on her hunch going straight to the 911 call center, my god.
"you wanted an activity we could do together." taking a wild guess, i'd say this wasn't on bobby's list, but at least you've got some nice mood lighting
Tumblr media
they ARE getting me with the bobby/athena scene here. they absolutely are.
also. i can't not think about due south mountie on the bounty at least a little bit. truly impossible not to do that
Tumblr media
fjdkfd. always nice if you're a fictional character who does terrible things and then gets a very dramatic chance to prove you're maybe also an okay person
Tumblr media
the chief going "YOU can't find their cruise ship?" seems like a deeply correct sort of response to me
fjdjfkdjk. hen looking shocked and upset when the chief tells her that the los angeles fire department isn't responsible for actively looking for ships that haven't sent out any sign of distress and are in an area they're not responsible for in the middle of the ocean, which is also not the fire department's usual sort of thing... that's very funny, very 911.
"i really don't feel like being second-guessed right now" says hen, while following a slightly insane hunch that could cost her her job and probably deserves a little second-guessing. or one-and-a-half-guessing, at least. love you so much, hen, but the only reason this will work out is because you've got writers behind you.
fdjkfdjkfdfd. of COURSE a man had to drop onto the (very pretty!) skylight after the boat turns upside down. we can't be told about a goofy thing athena fears because it happened in a tv movie and then NOT have that pay off at the end of the next episode! wonderful, i love it, this is huge dramatic 911 nonsense at its best. <3

J POV
I smile, watching my super hot and sexy boyfriend pose for the camera
He is the epitome of sexy
And the epitome of cuteness and adorablness
How he switches between adorable to sexy gives me whiplash sometimes
Just like how he switches between subby and dominate during sex
I've learned to go with the flow and switch easily just like him
I love him and I'll do anything he wants
And I know he loves me just as much and will do anything for me
He pulls the bandanna over his face and goddamn he looks so badass
Tumblr media
He carries the bad boy look so well
Honestly, he's turning me on
His eyes flit to mine for a second, staring holes into me, making me squirm and press my legs together

I know he's smirking under that stupid bandanna and God do I want to see it
Jerk
He pulls the bandanna down, then raises his arm, his hand by his head, showing off his new inner arm tattoo that I did and giving an intense glare
Tumblr media
Fuck him, seriously
"Great. Done for now", the director tells him, "Don't go too far, group shots are soon"
He smiles, nodding, then turns to me
He walks over casually, like he didn't just get me all hot and bothered
"Hi jagi", he says, sitting next to me, his arm immediately around my shoulders
"Hi", I pout
I know him
He's going to play it off like nothing happened, torturing me
Like I said, jerk
"You ok jagi? Why are you pouting?"
"Fuck you Joongie", I mutter
He knows what he did
"That's not nice baby", he coos in my ear, pressing a kiss to my neck, his hand moving around my stomach and up, "If you're not nice to me, I won't fuck you hard and fast tonight"
His hand moves around my boob, squeezing gently
When I got with Hongjoong, I had no idea he was into PDA
He has no problem kissing me, groping my boobs, slapping my ass in front of people
He won't touch between my legs in front of people but anything else is fair game
But he will touch my pussy with people around if we can hide it
Like if were sitting at a table or watching a movie with the guys and we're under the blanket
Then he has no problem
"Come to think of it, I may fuck you but I won't let you cum", he continues, arousing me more, pressing kisses to my cheek
"I'll watch my pretty baby get so close, then I'll pull out of your cunt at the last second and watch you cry and beg for me", he whispers, "But you know I won't give in"
I shudder from his hot dirty words, wanting nothing more than to fuck him right now
I know he wouldn't give in
He's done it to me before
When he says something, he fucking well means it
"So what do you say now? Hmm my bad girl?"
He turns my head to face him, looking directly in my eyes with his smoldering ones
"I'm sorry Joongie. I'll be a good girl", I whimper
God the way he can melt me or get me to do what he wants is insane
He has such an effect on me that no other boyfriend ever had
I wouldn't change it for the world
"Good", he answer, pressing his lips to mine, his tongue already against mine as he kisses me deeply
Wrapping my arm around his neck, I hold him closer, kissing him, letting him take over me
"Ok can you cut it the fuck out?", San gripes
"Yeah seriously. We're right here", Seonghwa complains
Hongjoong ignores him, still kissing me
Even though they complain, the guys know Hongjoong will stop when he's good and ready
He kisses me for awhile longer, making them pay for complaining, one part of why he's dragging it out
The other part is because he loves to kiss me
He's told me enough times for me to know by now
If I didn't know any better, I'd say he likes kissing almost more than sex
Almost
When he pulls away, I want his lips back but I know the guys are probably uncomfortable and I don't want them to feel that way
Hongjoong touches my cheek softly, smiling his gorgeous smile at me
"I love you", he says
"I love you Joongie"
He smiles wider, then presses a kiss to my forehead
Sitting back, he puts his arm around my waist
Laying my head on his shoulder, I take his free hand in mine, watching him lace our fingers together
We're both silent, just enjoying being close to each other
I close my eyes, cuddling into him
"Tired jagi?", he chuckles
I nod
"Aww my baby had to get up early huh"
"Mmmhmm"
I did have to get up early to make it to the photo shoot
I haven't been to one in awhile
Work is getting busy and I'm getting appointments earlier than before
Probably because I'm damn good at my job as a tattoo artist
I've done both of Hongjoong's tattoos
That how I met him
When I tattooed his ankle and it just went from there
I tattooed Wooyoung as well as lots of other idols too
I have regular clients who recommended me and I'm kinda popular in the tattoo world, especially with idols
It's good because my name is out there but it almost means more work and earlier appointments
I took the morning off today because Hongjoong asked me to come
I wanted too and I can't ever say no to him
"It's ok jagi, you can sleep", he says, his hold on me getting tighter
"But the photo shoot"
"It's ok. I got time. I'll hold you until I have to go for group pictures"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah jagi. You have some appointments after this right?"
I nod
I had two that I couldn't reschedule, so he's going to his studio to work while I work
He's gonna meet me at the tattoo shop later, then we're going home to my apartment tonight
"Ok baby, sleep for a little so you're rested for the appointments"
I don't want to but I'm so tired and my eyes are heavy
He moves his hand, running his fingers in my hair
The sure fire way to get me to sleep
"No fair baby", I whisper
"I know how to put my baby to sleep", he says softly
I feel him press a kiss to my hair and I give in, cuddling into him and closing my eyes
----------------------------------------------------
My phone rings and I pick it up from my desk in my tattoo room
It's a text from Hongjoong
"I'll be there in five minutes jagi"
"I'll be waiting outside", I answer
He has good timing
I just finished cleaning up all my equipment, closing up my room for the night
Grabbing my stuff, I say bye to Han, the owner, as I leave the shop
I walk outside and wait for my boyfriend
"Jo?", I hear behind me
Fuck why?
I know that voice
Turning around I scowl at Jae, my ex
What the fuck is he doing here?
I haven't seen him in two years, since I dumped him
"What do you want?", I snap
"I came to see you. Hoping you still worked here"
He needs to fuck off
"Well as you can see I still work here but I don't want to talk to you. Kindly fuck off"
"C'mon Jo, don't be like that. I just want to talk to you"
He never took no for an answer
It's a quality I despise
"No"
"C'mon. I came to ask you to come back to me"
I stare at him in complete shock
He has got to be kidding me
There is no way on earth, in heaven or hell I would ever get back with him
Not even if I was single
Not even if he was the last man on this planet
I'd rather die
"First off. Hell no. Second, I have a boyfriend"
He raises his eyebrow in surprise
What, did he think I was waiting for him for two years?
That I was pining over him?
Please
"A boyfriend? Who?"
"None of your business", I snap
Hongjoong asked me to keep us a secret for now because of his idol status
I love him so I agreed and I won't break that promise to him
"You don't have a boyfriend", he smirks, "You're just saying that to play hard to get"
My god he's a fucking moron
"No you idiot. I have a boyfriend. And he's amazing. He's a bad ass rapper and hot as fuck. He sweet and I love him with all my heart. I won't leave him for anyone, least of all you", I snarl
"He's a rapper? He does music?"
"Yes. That's what a rapper does. Make music", I roll my eyes
"So what? I'm still better than him. And I want you back. You belong with me"
I scoff at his idiocy, "I will never be with you again even if you were the last guy on earth. Fuck off"
"C'mon baby, don't be like that", he smirks, moving close to me
Ok I'm done
"Yeah bye", I snap, starting to walk away
I'll just wait for Hongjoong in my car
Away from this idiot
I feel a hand wrap around my arm, stopping me and turning me around
"Get off Jae!", I yell
"No. You're going to talk to me and you're going to come back to me"
"You-", I start but stop when I hear
"Get the fuck off her"
Turning my head, I see Hongjoong behind me, pure rage in his eyes as he stares at Jae
Fuck
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
Hongjoong POV
"Get the fuck off her", I growl, my rage barely controllable
When I got out of the car that dropped me off, I saw her trying to leave and this asshole grabbed her arm turning her to him
I heard him tell her she's going to talk to him and be with him like she doesn't have a choice
And he's touching my girl
Mine
"Get the fuck off her", I repeat, fury growing
He looks at me, his eyebrow raising
"Who the fuck are you?"
Walking in front of her, I push her behind me, him letting her go and keeping her away from him
"Joongie", she whimpers, holding on to the back of my shirt
"Joanne, who the fuck is this?", the guy asks angrily
"I'm her boyfriend", I snap
His eyes widen as he looks at me, then he looks at her in disbelief
"This is your boyfriend? This is the bad ass rapper?", he gapes, "This shrimp?"
Anger boils my blood
Yeah I'm short and small but I can still protect her
"Shut the fuck up Jae", she snaps
"No seriously him?"
What the fuck?
What's wrong with me?
Height isn't everything
"Yes him", she answers
"He's tiny! You trust this wimp to protect you?"
I feel my hands form into fists the angrier I get
Because yeah I'm not tall or particularly buff and a lot of people underestimate me
And normally I'm not a fighter
I'd rather talk problems out or just leave but this motherfucker touched my baby against her will and is still harassing her
I'm not standing down
"Hongjoong is strong and he'll kick your ass"
The guy bursts out laughing, "This puny punk will never be able to kick my ass. One hit and he's down"
That very well may be true
I've never been in a fight before
But she believes in me and I can fuck him up for her
"You have a better chance of fucking me up than this sissy excuse for a man", he laughs, "But thanks for the laugh"
His gaze turns to me, "Get lost. She needs a man not a skinny shrimp loser"
I am so close to just hitting him but I can't just start fights
But if he tries anything, I will fight him and it'll be self defense
"He is a real man! He's ten times better than you will ever be!", she snarls
"Now you know that's not true", he answers, coming towards us, "Now stop being difficult, drop this weak excuse for a man and I'll take you out"
Is he fucking deaf or something?
How many times does she have to say no, in how many ways?
"Back off", I growl
He just rolls his eyes, reaching around me and grabbing her arm, yanking her
And I fucking lose it
All I see is red as I punch him in the face as hard as I can
And yes it hurts my hand but the rage is masking the full pain
His head snaps to the side as he yells, "Fuck"
"I said don't fucking touch her!", I roar, my whole body shaking in pure anger
"You fucking little shit!", he yells, swinging at me and punching my jaw
"Joongie!", she cries
Now my head snaps to the side but I don't even feel the pain
It has to be the fury masking it
I know it'll hurt later
Facing him immediately, I pull my arm back and punch his stomach with all my force
I don't know where this strength is coming from
Most likely the anger
He cries out, leaning forward and I have clear access to his face
I take it, punching his eye at full strength, watching him topple down on his side
I quickly kneel down, shoving him on his back
Grabbing his shirt, I hold on to it and start punching him over and over again
"Don't you ever touch my baby again!", I roar in his face, then land another punch, "Don't ever fucking come to her job again. Don't ever fucking talk to her again. Don't fucking think of her or you'll be fucking sorry!"
I've never felt this angry, this out of control before
I feel like I could kill him
"Joongie stop", she sobs, her arms around me from behind, "Please baby stop. You're going to kill him"
"He fucking deserves it!", I yell
"Please baby, I don't want you to be taken from me. Please stop"
Her soft words and her arms around me, slow me down, calming me
And I realize she's right
If I kill him, I'll go to prison and I'll be away from her
Somewhere I never want to be
I lower my fist, glaring at his fucked up face
"If you ever come near her again, I will fucking kill you. She's mine"
He nods, groaning in pain
She pulls on my arm, asking me to leave with her
I give him one final warning look, then stand up, letting her take my hand and drag me away
----------------------------------------------------
Holding the ice pack to my jaw, I open my mouth, pain shocking my body again
Now I feel the hit
It hurts but it's not as bad as I thought it would be
A bruise is forming and it's swelling a little
As soon as we got to her apartment, she filled a ziplock bag with ice, wrapped it with a paper towel and gave it to me to put on my face
She's next to me, holding my hand tightly, a look of worry on her face
"Are you sure you're ok?"
I nod, "Yeah jagi. It doesn't hurt that much"
"You didn't have to do that baby", she says softly
"Yes I did jagi. He knows now, you're mine and I'm not going to let him fuck with you"
I can't believe I actually kicked someone's ass
I just got so fucking angry
He was touching her
He was trying to take her from me
Not fucking happening
"But now you're hurt baby. You're gonna get a bruise and you're in pain and it's my fault", she says, tears in her eyes
"It's not your fault Jo. Don't think that, ok? It's not"
"I just... I've never seen you like that. That angry"
I've never been that angry before
It's just her
Anything or anyone that threatens her or tries to hurt her sends me into that rage
I love her so much and I'll always protect her
"I was...scared", she whispers, "You got that angry because of me"
Hold on
She's not scared of me right?
I mean I know I've never acted like that before but she has to know I'd never hurt her
"Jagi.....are you....afraid of me", I ask worriedly
She shakes her head, "No Joongie. I'm not afraid of you. I know you wouldn't hurt me"
I slump in relief
Thank god she knows
"Then what do you mean?", I ask
"It was just a scary situation. I was afraid for you. You just lost it. If I didn't stop you, you could of killed him"
I know
I never felt that out of control before but I don't think I'd be like that for just any situation
Just when it involves her
"I know jagi. It just...he got me so fucking angry, trying to touch you. Trying to take you from me. I don't even care what he was saying about me"
I feel her hand touch my cheek softly, her eyes on mine
"He could never take me from you Joongie. No one can"
I don't know
If all her ex's are like that guy, tall, buff, strong then how can I compare?
I'm not like that
I'm short, I'm stronger than her but not compared to other guys, I don't have bulging muscles
I'm not a manly man
Today was a fluke, a one time thing that will probably never happen again unless I'm that angry again
What if she realizes I'm not what she wants
I love her more than anything, I can't be without her
I never fell in love before but it was so easy to fall for her
I need her
"Are you...are you sure?", I ask softly, "I...I'm not like him. I'm not tall or muscular or anything like the way he looked. I don't know if that's your type of guy but if it is I don't fit it. I...I just don't.... can't lose you"
"Joongie", she says, "You will never lose me. I love you so much. You are perfect. Everything about you, I love. You're height, your beautiful face, your gorgeous smile, you're beautiful eyes, you're adorable laugh, you're sexy body. You're sweet, loving, funny personality. You are my type baby"
Some of my fear of losing her lessens and I hope she's telling me the truth
"Are you sure?"
She moves closer to me, in my lap, her arms around my neck, looking in my eyes
God her brown eyes are gorgeous and I fall into them
I drop the ice pack, moving my arms around her
"Joongie, I need you. Everything I say to you is true. I never wanted anyone like I want you. I never loved anyone the way I love you. Or love anyone as much as I love you. Everything I say, it's not just words Hongjoong", she explains, "You are my everything. You are the one I want. You are the one I want for the rest of my life. You, Kim Hongjoong. I love you more than words can ever describe."
I'm in complete awe and pure joy hearing her words
"So you will never lose me unless you decide to leave. That's the only way you will ever be without me. If it's your choice"
"That will never be my choice", I answer, cupping her cheek, "Never Jo. I love you so much. You're the one I want too. I want you for the rest of my life. You're the one I see my whole future with. You're the only one I ever want by my side for my whole life. Just you"
She smiles her beautiful smile, taking my breath away
"I can never be without you", I whisper
"Then it's good you don't ever have to be"
I nod, "Yeah jagi. That's good"
Pulling her to me, I kiss her deeply, feeling her soft lips on mine as she kisses me back
My god, I love her
Sliding my hands to her hips, I stand up, holding her and carry her to her room
Laying her on her bed, her arms pull me on top of her, our kiss turning more heated
Her hands move under my shirt, touching my skin and sending chills down my back
She pulls my shirt up and I stop kissing her to let her take it off me
Once it's off, she wraps her arms around me, lifting her head and pressing kisses to the side of my neck
In the spots she knows I love
I groan from how good it feels, loving every second her lips are on me
One of her hands moves into the back of my hair, pulling my head to the side as she continues to lick, bite and suck on my skin
"Jo, fuck", I moan
"Mmm I love you Joongie. So much"
"I love you", I tell her, turning my head and pressing my lips against hers, my tongue in her mouth
She moves her tongue against mine, kissing me hard as I slip my hands in her pants, pushing them and her panties down
We both frantically take the rest of each other's clothes off, then I lay in between her legs, feeling her skin against mine
I can't take my lips off hers, I need to keep kissing her
She reaches in between us, moving my hard cock right to her
I move forward, sinking into her slowly
"Oh god", she moans softly, her hands on my back, holding onto me tightly
I move into her slowly, feeling her stretch around me, feeling her get wetter
"Hongjoong", she whimpers when I get all inside her
"Jo", I moan, feeling her tight pussy throbbing on me already
I love being inside her
She's small but we fit with each other perfectly
I look down at her, watching the pleasure on her face, her eyes closed
I gently take her hand off my back and lay her arm on the bed by her head
Then I slowly slide my hand up her arm, holding her hand in mine, lacing our fingers together
She grips my hand tightly, her beautiful eyes opening and looking at me
Leaning down, I press my lips against hers
As we kiss each other, I pull back, then slowly slip back inside her
We both moan and I start moving more but slowly, just feeling every inch of her
I don't want to just fuck her
Not today
Today I want to show her how much I love her
Want to make love to her
We haven't done that yet but after today and everything we said, I want to
It feels right
As I move, I drag kisses from her lips to her cheek and down her neck
"Joongie", she moans, her legs moving around me more
Licking a spot on her neck, I suck on it for a few seconds, then kiss the spot
I move my free hand around her boob, rubbing her nipple with my thumb
"Oh god Joongie", she moans, drenching my cock with more of her juice
"Mmm jagi, you feel so good", I praise, the pleasure from her is insanely amazing, "My baby is so perfect for me"
She whimpers and I smile into her skin as I press kisses all over her collarbone
The next soft thrust in, I shift a little, my head going right into her spot
Her body shudders against mine as a loud moan escapes her mouth
"Right there jagi?", I ask
She nods
"Ok baby. Anything you want", I tell her, moving right into her spot, wanting to make her feel amazing
The more I move into her spot the tighter she gets
"Mm jagi", I whisper, kissing her cheek, holding her hand tightly, "Cum for me baby. Please"
I move into her again, watching pleasure all over her face as her pussy clenches me hard, coming around my cock
"Fuck", I whisper, watching the beautiful sight of her coming and feeling the absolute pleasure her orgasm is giving me
And I can't hold it
"Baby, please...I...I can't", I mutter
"Cum Joongie", she whines and I let go
"Fuck Joanne", I moan, ecstacy running through me, coming deep inside her
She holds my hand hard, her other hand on my back, hugging me, keeping me against her
I feel her kisses all over my neck as I orgasm making everything feel better
"My Joongie", she says between kisses, "I love you baby. My baby. My love. My everything"
God I love her
She makes me feel so wanted, so loved with everything she does
With words, with her affection, with sex
And I want her to feel the same way
Catching her lips in a kiss, I pour all my love into it and I'm so happy when she responds the same way
I move to lay next to her with her turning to face me, keeping her lips on mine
I wrap my arms around her body, pulling her against me, our legs tangling together as she moves her arms around my neck
I keep kissing her, not being able to get enough of her
After a few minutes, we pull away, both of us looking at each other
I see love in her eyes for me and it takes my breath away
Running my fingers in her hair, I blurt, "Marry me"
Her eyes widen in surprise
I mean I'm pretty surprised too
It just came out but I find I don't want to take it back
I already know I want her for the rest of my life
Why should we wait?
"Are you serious?", she asks
I nod, "I am. I Iove you. I'm never going to love anyone else. I want to be with you always and I want to spend my whole life with you"
A smile starts forming on her face and I hope she says yes
I know it came out of nowhere but I know she feels just like I do and I hope she's ready like I am
"I know I don't have a ring yet jagi, but I'll get you one soon. I just...after today, I know you're my one and I can't live without you", I tell her, "So will you marry me Jo?"
She nods, smiling widely, "Yes Joongie"
A huge smile bursts on my face as pure joy fills me
She said yes
She pushes me on my back, climbing on top of me, pressing kiss after kiss all over my face
I laugh, loving all the kisses and holding her tightly
"I love you Joongie", she says between kisses, "You're everything I want for the rest of my life. Of course I want to marry you"
"Good jagi. I'm so happy"
She kisses my cheek again, "Good Joongie. I want to make you happy"
"You do jagi. Always"
She looks down lovingly at me, her fingers running in my hair
"I love you so much", she whispers
"I love you Jo. More than anything", I tell her
Lifting my head, I kiss her, so happy and excited for our future

hihi if u know my main then u know ^_^ if you don't then i probably have you blocked. anyway this is in a sense kind of a follow-up to one of my posts there so i guess this is kind of like. an extended version of that. director's cut or smth. anywayyyy
MAYBLADE 2023 DAY 4: SCI-FI
AKA: WHY THE FUCK IS V-FORCE LIKE THAT
bakuten shoot beyblade 2002, or beyblade v-force as i will be referring to it for the rest of this post, despite being mostly filler (in the sense that most of what happens in it isn't in the manga at all), is not a season that fucks around, except it also does that a lot. but what i'm getting at here is that even if you don't realize it, it becomes VERY clear what kind of season this is very quickly.
season 1 of bakuten shoot beyblade is a little bit absurd sometimes. that kind of comes with the territory (unless you're most of burst), but that does not make the existence of a US government-funded beyblade research facility aswell as beyblade child soldiers (unrelated to the first thing, making that two instances of beyblade war crimes) and beyblade rasputin any less ridiculous. v-force, however, takes this further.
in season 1 of bakuten shoot beyblade, the us government-funded beyblade research facility is introduced in episode 19 and isn't really important in the long term. the beyblade child soldiers are introduced in episode 40 and are very important to the plot, and beyblade rasputin is casually dropped in episode 42 and never mentioned again.
beyblade v-force drops a beyblading robot (not to be confused with the character who is a beyblader and also a robot, who we will get to later) on you in episode 4. this is the kind of season you will be watching for the next 47 episodes! have fun!
Tumblr media
i don't know what exactly to say about this moment. when it comes down to it i think it just speaks for itself really. and for most of beyblade v-force, this vibe is still very present. even when it's not ridiculous in this way, psykick and their no-name goons have a sort of saturday morning cartoon vibe, or atleast that's the best way i can describe it. this feeling is also present with zagart for a good chunk of the latter half, atleast until episode 41 comes around and things finally start to kick into gear on that end.
however, there is a very particular point where the weird sci-fi bullshit is able to work in harmony with actual good drama, and if you know my main you undoubtedly know where i'm going with this.
but first! consider the following concept: artificial divinity. man-made recreations of gods, created to be not just equal to but more powerful than their original counterparts. and these beings, both by nature and their sheer power, take over the minds of those who wield them, with the user dying in the worst case scenario.
what i have just described is the digital sacred beasts. the execution isn't perfect- mostly because psykick is fucking lame, but other than that it's... actually really fucking good. this, in no small part, is due to episode 16. remember that kid from like 11 episodes ago? the one who was pretty fuckin gay for kai? well. um.
this is genuinely such an excellent introduction to the plotline, and i know it's technically not the introduction but also it may aswell be because for a good while i genuinely FORGOT about the actual introduction. i could actually go on about this plotline for a good while but also this is a really really long post already so. onto the last thing!
Tumblr media
yeah the kid's been a robot the whole time! fuck you! i don't even know what to say anymore i've been writing this post for atleast an hour now. v-force is so fucking stupid but that just adds to the experience i think. everyone say thank you to v-force right now.

2. “You’ll find your way back to me, I know you will.” with lup :O?
2. “You’ll find your way back to me, I know you will.”
--
Considering he worked for an organization that literally got rid of magic items that produced a strong magical thrall, maybe Barry should be more concerned. Maybe he should bring it up to someone like, "heyyyy, the umbrella that my roommate and I share custody over is giving me strange, cryptid dreams of figures in red robes. Should I be concerned about that?" No, that sounded ridiculous. The Director might fire him for- for something. Was having dreams about red robes a fireable offense? It might be, in her book.
Besides, it wasn't even just his umbrella. Half the time, it was Taako's. And he deffo wasn't going to say anything to get Taako's umbrella taken away. He looked like a kicked puppy every time it was Barry's turn. In his defense, Barry knew the feeling all too well. They had only decided on joint custody because neither of them wanted to go without it.
Of course, that was before the cryptid dreams.
They started simple. Barry would appear in a dark room, sitting cross-legged. Across from him, a woman in a red robe sat. She would open her mouth to say something and then Barry was waking up. This process repeated several times a night, to the point where Barry was almost grateful to give up the umbrella. Almost. Not really, though.
He'd get a break for a few days until the umbrella was traded back to him. And then, there he was again, every night in the dark room. The short, almost-conversations turned into short, actually-conversations. Ones where the red-robed figure would ask him about his day, or about Taako, or about whatever.
As the nights progressed, getting longer into their stay at the Bureau, the conversations got longer. The "how are you"'s would pick up into "tell me a bit about you" into something that was sorta like a therapy session, but chiller, and less focused on his traumas. The red-robed figure actually wanted to get to know him. Sometimes, Barry would tell her things that she seemed to already know, but she never seemed any less interested in hearing about them.
"He didn't," the Red Robe said, delighted.
"He did," Barry said. "Magnus tried to climb up the tree to get him down before- before the Director saw, y'know? And Magnus was an inch away from him before Davenport just fuckin' jumps back down the tree!"
"Oh my god," the Red Robe said, laughing. Barry loved that sound.
"And then Magnus got stuck on one of the branches when he was coming down-"
"No!"
"Yes! And we were just gonna go get the Director at that point but then Davenport hops up there again and gets his shirt unhooked from one of the branches. And Mags just goes tumbling down the tree. I think he's still got the bruises, Merle refused to heal him 'cus he did it to himself."
"He's so fucking stupid," the Red Robe said, affection evident in her voice. "I wish I had been there to see that."
"I..." Barry paused, breath caught in his throat. He coughed. "I wish you had been too."
The glow of her robe shimmered and dimmed slightly, but Barry still got the impression she was smiling at him. He leaned back on his hands, looking at her.
"That's really nice of you to say, Barry," she said, finally. "But I'm not sure I'd be welcome with the whole, uh, y'know. Thing that Lu- that the Director has going on."
"Yeah, but you're not-" Barry scrambled to find a word that fit. "You're not evil? I hope."
"I try not to be," the Red Robe said.
"You're not evil," Barry said, a little more firmly. "I'm sure if you explained the situation-"
"That I've been invading the mind of her employees 'cus I'm lonely?" the Red Robe prompted. "I'm sure that'll go down well."
"She doesn't get it," Barry said. "You're not like the- the bad Red Robes. You didn't even know who the hell they were until I explained it to you."
"Barry-"
"And you're nice," Barry went on. "And funny. I- I don't think you'd want to hurt anyone on purpose, so if I could just get her to listen-"
"Barry."
"Then maybe we could work something out," he finished. The Red Robe's form crackled and shifted, unsure of herself. Barry flushed a little. "Sorry. I'm just... you're not a bad person. You're just... in a bad situation? Or something. We can workshop it."
"Don't worry about it right now," the Red Robe said. "We'll figure something out later. It's getting late, isn't it?"
"I don't mind staying longer," Barry said hopefully but the Red Robe shook her head.
"You need sleep," she said.
"But Taako's gonna take the umbrella back tomorrow," Barry said. "I just, uhm. I wanted to spend more time with you."
"Hey," the Red Robe said. "You'll find your way back to me. I know you will. Until then-" she stood, stretching. Her form crackled a bit menacingly, but Barry couldn't bring himself to care too much. "Try to remember how many trees Magnus gets stuck in within the next week. I'm very eager to know about them."
"I will," Barry said. "Promise."
"I know you will," the Red Robe said, a grin in her voice. "See ya soon, babe."
And Barry woke up.

'Time isn't a physical thing yet writer/director Andrew Haigh somehow weaves the mercurial essence of it into every single frame that makes up his fifth feature, All of Us Strangers (sixth if you count Looking: The Movie). In doing so, Haigh imbues the film with an ethereal quality that's just a step or two outside of our so-called objective reality.
But actually, that's what life can often be like as a queer person. In childhood, other kids often know you're different before you do, as if they've glimpsed your future first-hand, and for those who suppress their queerness growing up, it often takes years longer to come into your own.
Even then, once you've finally found some degree of healing, past traumas can pull you back in time just like that, transforming you once again into a younger, damaged version of yourself. (It doesn't help that coming out is a lifelong process, as if you're stuck in a not-so-funny '80s time-loop movie.)
In All of Us Strangers, a gay forty-something man named Adam is literally pulled back to these traumas when he meets his dead parents as they were, all those years ago before an accident took them away.
In coming out to these time-displaced figures – who both bring with them the baggage of AIDS-fuelled '80s hysteria – Andrew Scott's character almost becomes a child himself again, and in Haigh's real childhood home, no less.
Through adapting Taichi Yamada's novel Strangers (a book that's also a product of the '80s), Haigh bridges the gap between not just his past self and the present, but also two different eras of gay men through the intergenerational love story that unfolds between Adam and Harry (Paul Mescal), a younger man who accompanies him on this journey of healing.
Digital Spy caught up with Andrew Haigh to discuss coming-out scenes of a very different kind and the importance of crafting "a love letter to queer people of a certain generation". Along the way, we also talked the hidden significance of that sex scene and why casting Jamie Bell and Claire Foy was such a gamble.
All of Us Strangers plays so much with time – like most of your work does – and that feels intrinsically queer to me. As queer people, we don't always follow a traditional timeline, so I wondered if you could share how the film's shifting of time relates to the queerness that's integral to this story?
It's so interesting, because I feel like as a queer person, time is somehow different. As you say, your life seems to go on a different trajectory, and you don't have the sort of markers that other people have, although that is changing. I do think for younger queer people, it is a slightly different experience.
So I think it's just inherent in me as a person that I see time slightly differently, which is why it's always so interesting for me to play around with the idea of time.
All of my films, whether it's been Weekend, which is an obsession with 48 hours of someone's life, or 45 Years where something from the past has come back and disrupted the present, it just... I'm just so interested in the nature of time.
Casting Jamie Bell and Claire Foy as Andrew Scott's parents, even though they're actually younger than him, is such an interesting idea to play around with, both visually and emotionally. But were you ever apprehensive or worried that this approach might fall short or not work in the way you hoped it would?
Yeah, I was really worried about it [laughs]. I thought if that doesn't work, the film is terrible. People might laugh at it and be like, "This is just so stupid". The film works on an emotional level and I need that to be believable and real.
But then, weirdly, the minute I started filming with them, my fears went away, because I could see that it was working in the moment. And I could see that it was working emotionally.
Jamie and Claire do an incredible job at feeling like they are Andrew's parents. And he does feel like he is their child. So the nature of how they look sort of becomes irrelevant. Then I thought a lot about how, of course, that makes sense.
If we think about our parents in our minds, we don't necessarily think about what they look like now, if they're still around. We think about how they used to be. It's the same with anybody in our lives. You can think of a friend that you may not have been in contact with for 20-30 years. In your mind, they're exactly like they were back then. I think that is just the nature of our memory and how that works, so it does make sense for the film.
That moment when Adam gets into bed with his parents could have been particularly hard to pull off, but it works so beautifully within the context of the narrative.
I mean it could be ridiculous. He's wearing pyjamas that don't fit, and he's trying to get into bed with his parents. It could be absolutely ridiculous. But I think it speaks to this idea... Think about those pyjamas.
We all understand the desire to want to go back and feel that comfort sometimes that we felt as a child, but of course, it doesn't fit anymore. They're too tight and he isn't a child. He is an adult. But within all of us, we still have that element of being a child within our adult bodies, not just as children but our parents are the same. Everybody is the same. The child is always trapped within us.
That element really comes to the fore in the film's two coming out scenes when Adam reveals himself to parents who are technically younger than him. We've seen so many coming out stories over the years, but we've never seen anything like this before. Why do you think these two scenes have resonated in particular with so many fans of the film?
I mean, there's a number of things. People are always like, "Oh, we don't need more coming-out scenes. We've done all the coming-out scenes," but I think a lot of us, as queer people and gay people, are still affected by that, that feeling of having to come out and how terrifying, how horrendous that was for so many of us and the fear of having to say something to our parents, and they may reject us for that.
It was a very, very traumatic event for lots and lots of people, especially back in the '80s.
What this is about, in many ways, it's not just that he's coming out to his parents, but he's being reminded of how he used to feel back then. Because the parents reaction is how everybody felt about gay people back in the '80s. Or how most people felt. That was a very difficult time.
I wanted it to be sort of generous as well, even to the parents, because they lived in a period of time where they were just fed stories and lies, essentially, and fears about gay people. So I didn't want to vilify the parents either because that's the culture they lived in at the time.
It's so rare still to see the experiences of gay men Adam's age explored like this. Why would you say it's important that the stories of gay men who lived through the AIDS crisis continued to be centred this way on screen?
I think it's a really important generation for me as a queer storyteller. I wanted to say something about that generation, and it is a very specific generation. It is a generation of people who grew up as AIDS was decimating communities.
As young queer people in that time, we grew up surrounded by the idea that our sexuality was completely linked to death. I think it's very easy to forget how traumatic and horrendous that was, and that we are still living with the ramifications of that and the shame that went along with that.
The way that people treated us made us feel ashamed. It's not that we were inherently shameful because we were gay, but we were made to feel shamed. That has been a struggle that a lot of us have had to work through into our 40s and 50s and people into their 60s are still dealing with that, so I think it's a really important thing.
And also just to remind people that yes the world has changed, thank God, and everyone seems to have forgotten what it was like back then, but we haven't forgotten, even on an unconscious level. We can remember.
I always wanted it to be a love letter to queer people of a certain generation to say, "You know what? I know that it's still painful to think back at that time, and it is still painful. And I want us to realise that it's still painful and it's okay to to appreciate that sometimes."
I was born in the mid '80s, so I wasn't an adult during the height of the AIDS crisis, but I absolutely felt the ramifications of it still into the '90s and beyond, this idea that being gay is instantly connected to fear and death.
Yeah, the '90s wasn't a Golden Age either. Even into the late '90s, I remember there were debates going on in the House of Commons where people would still be saying that what we were doing was sinful and wrong and that we were gonna go to hell.
This is in the '90s. This is not the 1970s or 1980s. So I think that living in the '80s and '90s was not an easy time for queer people, definitely.
That sex scene early on where Harry licks cum off Adam's chest really struck me, because any kind of contact with bodily fluids like this would have once been horrifying to Adam. Did you consciously include this scene in relation to Adam's shame and him overcoming it?
Absolutely. That's the point of that shot to me. I think there's probably lots and lots of people who will not truly understand that at all. Of course, you will understand it because you understand it from a personal standpoint.
There are two gay people of a different generation and one has no fear in that moment of what he's doing. The other one is still resistant to that. That's years of something within his body telling him to be resistant. And he overcomes it because of course, you can overcome it. Lots of people do overcome that fear and shame and that is the point.
In that moment, there was a little bit of resistance, but the intimacy and the compassion of Harry in that moment allows him to overcome a sort of embedded fear.
Some people see the ending as very uplifting and hopeful while others find it sad. Obviously, tragic endings are embedded in the history of queer cinema, so did you feel pressure to try and avoid tropes like 'Bury Your Gays'?
I understand there was that trope. It's often the trope actually gets said more than the reality of that being an actual reality. It's like "Oh, you're gonna kill off all the gays" but actually, that's not always what happens.
There is a way in which this film could have ended on a very optimistic, joyful note. To me, that would have been a little bit simplistic in terms of what the story is trying to unpick and understand, which is about the actual nature, the essence of love, and what is important within that.
I also think that sometimes when you're telling queer stories, I want to dig a little bit deeper into the pain, into the reality of things. There you can get closer to the truth and I think that is important.
Let's go back to the '80s. A lot of people, a lot of gay, queer people, lost their partners young and lost a lot of people that were very, very important to them. But as that also happened, what I found so profoundly beautiful is, it sort of highlighted the idea of love in itself as being some kind of saviour and that it can save you and the importance of that love. After all, loss is still so fundamentally important.
Looking back, is there a particular example of queer TV or film that really resonated with a younger version of yourself?
It's a tricky one. I feel like in the end, it was probably watching Beautiful Thing, that Hettie Macdonald film.
I remember I was working in a cinema, the National Film Theatre, and it was the gay and lesbian film festival, I think, or it was a special screening of Beautiful Thing. There is a gay film, actually, that's very, very joyous. It's got so much joy in it. It ends on a really uplifting, joyful note.
I just remember sitting at the back as an usher, seeing that film, and I wasn't even out at that point. I was still in the closet. And I remember feeling like, "Ah, okay, there's a possibility out there for me". I remember loving that moment. It was both emotional and cathartic and joyous.
I still love that film. I watch that film now when they're running through the woods and The Mamas and the Papas are playing and they kiss against the tree. It's so beautiful. I adore it. So even though my films don't often end on moments of pure joy, I still like moments of pure joy [laughs].'

"I cannot believe I am doing this," Avalon walked tiredly into the TARDIS, tossing her nurse's hat directly at the Doctor. It hit his cheek in the midst of his research on the monitor. "You owe me big time for making me do this!"
The Doctor picked up the nurse's hat off the floor and dusted it off with his fingers. "I think you look positively adorable." His remark was received with a deep frown. "Absolutely sexy?"
Avalon rolled her eyes. Clearly, no kind of compliment would lighten her mood. She detested the stupid nurse costume she was in and much more that she was working as a nurse in a retirement home. "I am a traveler, a mediocre writer—"
The Doctor scowled at the lowball self insult. "Avalon!"
"'—but I am not a nurse!" Avalon finished with a heavy huff. "Why can't we go pick up my grandfather who is an actual certified nurse!?" She stomped her way to the console up to the Doctor, demanding to hear a good answer from him.
"We already started this undercover mission," the Doctor pointed out, "And your grandparents are busy. Besides, I thought this could be a fun trip for the both of us."
Avalon's eyes narrowed. "How is this fun when I'm pretending to be a nurse in a retirement home where you're pretty sure people are being murdered?"
"It's interesting at the very least," the Doctor settled for his new description. "C'mon Ava, you've already been there three days and you've done a beautiful job blending in. Now I'll come in tomorrow and do my part to investigate."
"You mean go straight to the director and tell her what you think you know about her?"
"Absolutely!" The Doctor set the nurse hat back on Avalon's head, an admittedly difficult task given her unruly curls were being extra resistant. Avalon mentioned it took half a dozen pins to keep the hat in place.
Avalon swatted his hands away, effectively making the hat fall to the floor again. "I will do any other kind of UC job but not as a nurse. I don't like it."
"Next time," the Doctor promised her. She grumbled. "How about I draw you a nice bath?" His hands threaded down Avalon's hair. "I can get you those sweet lavender scented soaps and shampoos you love so much?"
"You mean the ones you love so much?" Avalon raised an eyebrow.
The Doctor smiled ever so innocently. "Me? I don't recall, but if you really need my help—"
Avalon's brow furrowed. "I didn't say I needed your help—"
"—then I will of course assist you however I can," the Doctor finished with an even wider smile, more like a grin.
Avalon wouldn't even pretend to be by these antics anymore. After a couple decades, she got too tired. "Yeah, alright," she shrugged.
The Doctor beamed. That had been far too easy!
"But I will need a massage, and a face mask..." Avalon started listing her demands as she headed for the corridors, the Doctor right on her trail.
"Anything you want, love," the Doctor promised, grabbing Avalon by the waist for a moment to kiss the crook of her neck. She smiled to herself. He was much too easy to work.

The next morning, Avalon begrudgingly returned to the retirement home just like they planned. This was a ludicrous plan from the start given that it had not been their intention to get involved in the first place. But that's what happens when you're time traveling with your birth mother for "bring your daughter to work" day.
They had stumbled across a much older River Song — she wasn't even in prison anymore! She was Dr. River Song, archaeologist, and she and her team were excavating bodies 200 years from now of the very retirement home Avalon was now walking the hallways of. The issue turned out to be that every coffin was empty which meant that the patients dying right around these days were not being buried. It was a mystery that the Doctor couldn't let go of. So here they were, investigating on their own.
Avalon learned fast that she was not made to be a nurse like her grandfather. It was simply not her vocation. She had little patience for difficult people, she did not like to clean bedrooms, and she didn't like her boss either. At least when it comes to writing, I'm my own boss. However, there was one thing that made the place bearable and Avalon was heading right there.
She met the face of her favorite patient in the entire retirement home and immediately smiled. "Good morning Arthur! I brought you a cup of tea!"
The older man was lying on his bed and watching Avalon's every move. His thick eyebrows knitted together as his eyes squinted.
Avalon walked up to his bedside with a tray in hand. "It's me, Arthur. Nurse Reynolds? Avalon?"
"I'm sorry," Arthur awkwardly smiled back. "Nurse Reynolds…" The recognition glinted in his eyes after a moment and it was then that Avalon set the tray on the bed stand.
"It's alright," Avalon assured him, picking up the cup of tea from the tray. "Believe me, I know a thing or two about losing memories." She presented Arthur with the cup of tea. "No pressure, honest."
"You?" Arthur chuckled lightly. "But you're so young. Your memory's got to be in top shape."
Avalon set her hands on her hips for a moment. "Oh, you would not believe me but I am older than I look."
"Really?" Arthur leveled her with a disbelieving look.
Avalon nodded. "Aha!" She turned away, making her way up to the windows and opening the blinds to let the sunlight in. "I'm nearing 50 now. Had I been a normal human, I would've been wrinkly by now."
"Is that where you're from, then?" Arthur took a sip of his tea.
"I hadn't told you that?" Avalon watched the children below, all playing much too loudly for her taste.
"Uh, maybe you did, but I can't really remember," Arthur smiled apologetically.
"That's alright," Avalon dismissed it. "God, did you get some good sleep with those kids? They're so loud and it's not even nine!"
"I don't mind," Arthur said, "It's good to hear their laughter and games. It can get so quiet here sometimes."
"What—I'm not chatty enough?" Avalon swayed back to the bed. "I feel like I talk your ears off!"
Out of all the patients Avalon had met in the past days, she liked Arthur the best. He was such a sweet gentleman who suffered a form of dementia. He didn't have any family nor friends but he was still so talkative. He was the only patient who had thought to ask Avalon about herself. Everyone else tended to grumble.
"I like it," Arthur nodded, "It's been so long since somebody talked to me. Nobody visits me — well, nobody visits anyone here."
"Yes, I've noticed that," Avalon mumbled under her breath. Three days she had worked at the retirement and not once had she seen a visitor. There were plenty of patients here that would warrant at least one visitor, but nobody had showed up.
"What story do you have for me today?" Arthur curiously asked her.
Avalon's smile returned, a sweet one. She may have also told him several of her written stories as well as her adventures. It passed the long hours for both of them, and Arthur seemed to like them.
"I, uh, I had a bit of a quarrel with my husband," Avalon said, reaching to press Arthur's blanket down. "He's a bit childish, remember?"
Arthur nodded. His tea was half gone already. "He's a traveler, right?"
"Yes, we both are," Avalon reminded him, "I just chose to have a job for a bit...try to, um, set some roots." That was normal, right? She had no idea. Lately, she didn't really know what she wanted to do with her life besides traveling.
She was set on being a writer, at least on some level, but the idea of school was still troubling her. She was never indecisive about anything and yet this one thing bugged her for decades now. The pressure was just there — to do something — with her life. It seemed like Amy and Rory were finally learning how to do that, even Lena now. Avalon now faced a reality she didn't think would ever come: her family was okay, and safe, and now she could do whatever she wanted. It was an odd feeling this way, truthfully. Avalon didn't know what to do with it.
"Is he on a trip right now?" Arthur's question drew Avalon out of her thoughts.
"He was...he's supposed to be in today, actually," she said, "Going to pick me up." This all sounded so blatantly normal that it felt so weird for Avalon. She couldn't imagine having a regular job and having the Doctor waiting outside to "pick her up" after her shift. She almost laughed.
"What's his name, again? I think I forgot…" Arthur attempted to place his cup on the bed stand.
Avalon hurried to take it from him and do it herself. "No, I didn't tell you that. He's a, uh, a doctor. I think you'd be entertained with him."
"My Elsie was the same," Arthur said reminiscently.
"Your wife, right?" Avalon stepped away and put her hands behind her back.
Arthur nodded. "She was a light in every room. She told the best jokes." Avalon smiled at him. "Lost her to cancer years ago."
"I'm so sorry," Avalon sighed. "It must have been so terrible…"
"It was. I don't wish that kind of pain on anyone…" Arthur flashed Avalon a small smile, "Especially good, sweet people like you."
Avalon chuckled. "Well, thank you. Although, don't be fooled again, I'm not that sweet. My husband actually tells me that I have a nasty temper."
"Even then, I'm sure he would miss it greatly if you were gone," Arthur said, pointing a finger at Avalon. "And you would miss his childish ways if he were gone."
"Oh…" Avalon brought a hand to her chest, feeling it constrict at the mere idea of losing the Doctor, "No, I can't even talk about something like that. If I were to ever lose my husband, I think I would die myself."
"Unfortunately, those who remain suffer worse because we're still here...and they're not."
Avalon nodded slightly.
"Nurse Reynolds!" A gruff female nurse called from the open doorway, ignoring the way that Avalon flinched. "If you're quite finished you have duties to perform!"
Avalon could barely hold onto her tongue. She hated Nurse Frost. The name suited her perfectly.
"Of course," Avalon said through gritted teeth. "I will be right there."
"Now," Frost corrected.
Avalon looked at Arthur apologetically. "I'll be back later, Arthur. Would that be alright?"
"Of course," Arthur nodded, "Go, go. I'll be here, waiting for my story."
Avalon promised that she would come up with another story for him in the afternoon. She would follow Nurse Frost out and tend to the other patients, just like she had for the past 3 days.

It took very little to get into the retirement home. The Doctor knew it would've probably been easier to get Avalon like this as well but he was guilty of wanting to see her in that hot nurse outfit...and to get deeper information from the inside of course.
He treaded the hallway carefully, keeping an eye open for anything plain strange. Most of the doors on his sides were closed but the few that happened to be opened didn't allow for much view of the patients. Avalon said most patients tended to stay in bed and that seemed about right because there had only been a handful of patients walking the gardens outside.
It was almost as if they were encouraged to stay in their rooms, on their beds…waiting for something…
"Hello there," he startled the woman sitting in the office. She looked up from her dark rimmed glasses and scrutinized the unknown visitor. The Doctor could practically read the woman's thoughts: 'A visitor!?'. He was a novelty not because he was an alien but because he was visiting. That alone waved red flags.
"The name's John Smith…" the Doctor strode into the office waving the psychic paper around. "How are you!?"
The woman barely had a moment to look at the psychic paper before the Doctor stuffed it in his inside pocket. Next thing she knew, the Time Lord was taking a seat on her desk. "Excuse me–" she started, but the Doctor went ahead with his facade.
"And you're clearly the woman in charge of this place! Miss Bruce, isn't it?"
"I—" the woman blinked, "Yes, how do you know that?"
The Doctor pointed to the plaque sitting on the desk.
Miss Bruce flushed. "Right, right. Um, what exactly are you doing here?"
"Doing some investigation of course!" the Doctor hopped off the desk and started pacing in the office. "Because, tell me, bodies disappearing, people vanishing mysterioualy in the night – ring any bells?"
Miss Bruce's face fell grim. A deep crease marked her forehead.
"Wait!" the Doctor exclaimed, his hands flying in front of him, "I know exactly what you're going to say! You have no idea what I'm talking about and deny all knowledge, right?"
Miss Bruce was beginning to hate him by the minute.
"Which means, Miss Bruce, either you're extremely unobservant or you're the one who's trying to cover it up. Let's see, residents going missing from right under your nose – embarrassing! So what do you do?" the Doctor pretended to hum as he feigned thought of all the options Miss Bruce could have in the situation. "You arrange with the local undertakers to bury empty coffins in the churchyard down the road. No one need ever know what's really going on."
"I don't—"
"You're probably wondering how I know all this," the Doctor nodded to himself, bringing his hands behind his back, "Because I was there when one of the coffins was dug up by archaeologists! Well, my mother-in-law but that's another story for another day! But you should know that she was not happy and truth be told, neither was her daughter – my wife – because she was writing an article on it. Had to stop the whole thing."
It had not boded well for anybody in the group when the coffins turned out empty. River Song was finally getting to bring Avalon to some of her "work" and that happened to include one nefarious location that was about to be dug up. The Doctor felt bad for introducing the idea in the first place and see it go horribly wrong. Avalon had no article to submit to the university and because she had always written stories for them, she felt twice as bad. And when Avalon felt bad, the Doctor felt worse.
"So, you see, I've done some thinking, Miss Bruce," the Doctor 'tskd' at the woman who was still blinking widely at him, "And here's my other suppositions about this place. You only take in residents who don't have any friends nor relatives so that when their bodies eventually disappear, there's no one to miss them and most importantly to report them missing. Here's the good news, though," he leaned his hands on the desk, reaching forward until he was face to face with Miss Bruce, "I don't think you're responsible for the disappearances, just the cover up, because if you were responsible for the disappearances, you would've thrown me out by now."
In truth, miss Bruce was like a frozen statue and an unhappy one at that. She let out a heavy sigh, confirming everything the Doctor had just said. "Something else you want to add?"
The Doctor shrugged. "Two things. One: I'll be taking a walk and talk with some of the residents. Two: have you been allowing children into the grounds?"
That was the first time Miss Bruce appeared startled, almost offended. "You're clearly insane, Doctor Smith. There are no children on the premises. It's like you said, I don't admit any resident with families or friends."

Avalon followed Nurse Frost into an empty bedroom. If Avalon remembered correctly, it belonged to a patient named Margaret Webster. She was a sweet old woman but she barely talked. She had a fascination with stuffed birds that creeped Avalon out.
"Margaret passed away in her sleep last night," Nurse Frost informed as she turned the lights of the room on, "We need to clear it up for the next patient."
"What – but she passed away last night," Avalon blinked, staying right by the doorway while Nurse Frost started taking the sheets off the bed. "Shouldn't there be, I don't know, studies going on? Like the medical kind to make sure no foul play happened?"
Nurse Frost snorted. "What 'foul play', Reynolds? She passed away. These people here are very old, it happens."
"Still, where's her body?"
"The undertakers have already collected her mortal remains."
"Already?" Avalon made a face. "That's beyond quick!"
Nurse Frost flapped the sheet hard, gesturing for Avalon to come help already. The ginger reluctantly did.
"That isn't your concern nor your job! You're supposed to tidy away the effects of the decease—"
"For the family?"
"She had no family! When you're done here, refresh the sheets. This bed will have a new occupant by this evening!"
"This evening?" Avalon whispered to herself. It truly was beyond fast for a senior center.
"Stop repeating everything I say into a question!" Nurse Frost snapped, throwing the sheet down on the bed for Avalon to take. "And get to it already!" She headed for the door.
"Whatever you say, Cruella De'Vil," Avalon muttered with a roll of her eyes. With a sigh, she started taking in all the personal objects in the room, putting them neatly into boxes. She was slightly quicker with the stuffed birds so she wouldn't have to look at them nor feel their presence.
She stopped by a portrait of a young girl with long ponytails. Judging by the face, Avalon presumed it was Margaret as a child. "You look straight off the 1950s magazines," she chuckled to herself. She turned to bring the frame to the boxes when she came face to face with the same girl…in person. Avalon gasped deeply and let the frame in her hands fall.
The girl was stoic for a moment, not even the thud of the frame pulled her eyes off Avalon. The redhead, on the other hand, was breathing heavily.
"H-how are you here?"
The girl didn't response. Instead, she turned around and walked out the room.
"H-hey! Come back!" Avalon went after her. The girl walked pretty fast, forcing Avalon to pick up her pae as well. "Little girl! Seriously!" The girl made a turn on the corner and just as Avalon did the same, she crashed into Nurse Frost. "Woah!"
"What are you doing here?" Nurse Frost demanded.
"I was just – the girl – where's the girl!?" Avalon peered around Nurse Frost in search of the girl but she had disappeared.
"What are you talking about?" Nurse Frost looked at Avalon like she was crazy.
"The-the girl!" Avalon exclaimed, gesturing behind Nurse Frost. Of course, when the woman looked over her shoulder there was nothing there. Avalon was pointing at thin air.
Stop playing games!" Nurse Frost snapped. "We have a lot of work to do!"
"But I—!"
Nurse Frost seized Avalon's wrist and pulled her in the opposite direction. Avalon kept craning her neck as much as it allowed to see if she could spot the girl again. It truly was like the air had swallowed her up.

It took the Doctor a short half hour to find a patient to converse with. He was about the only one who wouldn't give the Doctor suspicious looks. It was always nice talking to someone inviting.
"A police box! That takes me back!" the elderly man gazed appreciatively at the TARDIS parked in the outer parts of the center's gardens. "I haven't seen one of these things in over 40 years! I used to be a bobby myself, just after the war…"
"Arthur, you were telling me about this boy with no face…" the Doctor gently reminded the man. It was the second time he had to nudge the conversations back to the prime topic. Arthur's mind sometimes went.
"Doctor, one of the other residents, a friend of mine, Bert, he said he saw the boy and then he died the next night!" Arthur said, letting out a shudder. "So if I'm seeing the boy now, it means that I'm next!"
"Nonsense," the Doctor waved it off, "You'll be around for a long while yet…probably. Now tell me about these children. You said they've only recently started coming here?"
Because off in the distance, there was a group of singing children dancing around the trees.
"Yes, but they don't like to get too close and…there's something wrong about them…" Arthur admitted.
"Yeah," the Doctor agreed, "Their clothes for starters." The children were dressed as if they belonged to an earlier time period, perhaps the 50s if he had to be more accurate. "And no mobile phones or ipods. Just a bat and ball. Odd!"
The Doctor fixed his jacket up before approaching the group of children. As soon as they spotted him getting close, one girl with long pigtails grabbed a younger boy beside her and stepped in front of him.
"Oi Mister! What do you want?" the girl demanded.
The Doctor put on his best smile. "I'd just like to know who you are and why you're here."
"Can't say," the little boy said as he came around the girl, "Grown ups mustn't find out or they'll put a stop to our games!"
"Will they?" the Doctor went along with the boy's game, whatever it was.
"But don't worry, Arthur," the girl smiled at the older man, "You have nothing to fear. You'll be coming to play with us soon." The words had the opposite effect on poor Arthur. He stumbled back a few steps.
The Doctor didn't like the words either. He straightened up and quickly led Arthur away from the children. The elderly man seemed to be having chest pain.
"It's just indigestion," Arthur said, though clutching his chest contradicted his statement, "It comes and goes…"
As they neared the TARDIS, Avalon came running towards them. "Oh my God! There's a girl – I saw her! But that Nurse—" she growled abruptly. "Nurse Frost – she didn't see the girl so she didn't let me follow her! But there's a girl!"
"Well hello there, Nurse Reynolds!" the Doctor waved a hand, "I sense that you saw something strange?"
Avalon deadpanned him. Her hands fell on her hips. "I don't appreciate your sarcasm. I had to roll up sheets of a deceased older lady, so watch it or the next thing I roll up will be your dead body in a sheet!"
The Doctor just smiled in the face of a threat. "That's my wife, Arthur. Isn't she lovely?"
Arthur looked at Avalon — who seemed ready to seethe — and asked her if that was truly her husband.
"Unfortunately, yes," Avalon replied. "He thinks he's so funny but dead people can't be funny."
"Oh, calm down, Avalon," said the Doctor, "You'll be relieved to know that Nurse Frost can't see the child because there's a perception filter on the children."
"Not feeling very relieved here," Avalon said flatly. "And 'alien tech'?"
"Exactly. It's shielding the children and probably their hiding place as well, it's amazing what some people won't notice."
"You don't say. Well, I guess it's like the laundry closet," Avalon said, "People just walk by that room all the time. I hate doing laundry so I do the same thing but at least I can see it."
The Doctor smirked all of a sudden. "I really love you, wife."
"That's great but what did I do?"
"Let's go see that laundry room!"
"What – I don't want to do laundry!" Avalon groaned.
~ 0 ~
Avalon led both the Doctor and Arthur down the hallway towards the laundry room. She slowed her pace, however, when she saw Arthur was walking slower than normal.
"Arthur, really, if you're not feeling well, I can take you back to your room," she said, "Really. The Doctor can go on his own."
"Not a chance, Avalon," Arthur said sternly, "I haven't had this much excitement in years!"
Avalon chuckled. "Well, I can't argue with that sentiment. I'm a girl who loves excitement too. And adrenaline. Lots of it."
"Is that why your stories are simply the best?"
"Hm, if only you knew, Arthur," the Doctor started, "Most of those stories actually happened."
"What?" Arthur blinked. "That can't be!"
Avalon smirked over her shoulder. "Yeah, I don't behave so well sometimes."
"Sometimes!?" the Doctor snorted.
"Oh shush, you're not that better than me!"
The Doctor rolled his eyes. He had plenty more to say but they reached the laundry room Avalon talked about. Using the sonic, he led the way inside and found not a laundry room but a huge spaceship-esque room instead.
"Woah…" Avalon breathed in at the sight, eyes wide and matching Arthur's as they both took in the sight, "Had I known this was inside, I would've gone in this laundry room a long time ago. Wouldn't mind washing clothes here."
The Doctor gave her a light push from behind, and exchanged smirks.
Arthur wandered towards one of the walls and noted the weblike structure going across it. There were large pods holding small creatures inside. "This looks like a nest..."
Avalon's head flipped in his direction and frowned. "It does. Doctor, why is there an alien nest hidden in the laundry room?"
"It's not a laundry room, dear," the Doctor said, "It's a nest."
"Yes, but why? And for what?"
"For me," went a new voice, and a gruff one at that.
The trio turned around to find Nurse Frost herself standing in front of them. A second later, the Nurse Frost was morphing into a huge, spiky alien creature with tentacles. "Analysis: you are a threat to the surrogates! All threats must be eliminated!"
"Uh, yeah," the Doctor put his sonic away fast, "We need to run! Now!"
"My husband, ever so smart!" Avalon shot him a mock glare.
"Oh, shut up and run!"
The pair started running back for the door but Avalon looked back to see Arthur struggling to move with them.
"Doctor!" she called and returned to Arthur.
"Engaging defensive weaponry!" the creature declared.
Red lasers shot forwards. Avalon covered her head as energy began striking around them. When she was able to lower her arms, she saw Arthur had collapsed on the floor.
"No!" she ran the remaining length and slid on the floor beside him. "Arthur!?" She checked for his heartbeat and was horrified to find none. "Doctor! He's dead!"
"Avalon, move away!" the Doctor exclaimed, trying to make a run towards her. The lasers were much too close to hitting her.
Avalon shook her head fervently. "No, no, no! Arthur!" She fell back from an electric force that enveloped Arthur's body. "NO!"
A dark haired boy was shooting the electrical current towards Arthur.
"Stop that!" Avalon demanded from the boy. Arthur's body was disappearing before her eyes. "I said STOP!" She scrambled to get up, intending on taking the boy herself when the Doctor arrived to pull her away. "No! No! Stop him! Look what he's doing!"
"I'm sorry but we can't touch him!" the Doctor had a tight hold around Avalon's waist. "He's gone, Avalon!"
"Literally!" Avalon cried as Arthur's body disappeared.
The little boy straightened up and marched up to the pair.
The Doctor set Avalon on her feet and stepped in front of her. "Alright now, you can stop," he warned the boy.
But the boy stopped in front of them then turned to face the creature. "Stop," it commanded, "The Doctor and Avalon are my friends."
"Well…that's unexpected," the Doctor blinked. Avalon wiped the tears from her face and stared at the boy, puzzled.
The creature froze in its tracks. "Doctor, Avalon – designated non-hostile," he repeated.
"You-you're in charge of that thing?" Avalon sniffed. "How the…you're a…I am so confused and tired…"
The Doctor reached over and rubbed her back comfortingly. She really needed her rest.
The boy turned around as did the creature, and smiled at Avalon. "It's me, Avalon. Arthur."
Avalon's eyes widened, as did the Doctor's. They both looked at each other, neither one sure whether to believe the boy.
"No, he was — you're just a—" Avalon rubbed the side of her head. "No, no, you're joking. You can't be Arthur."
The Doctor continued to study the boy and his uncertain self-examination. 'Arthur' kept looking at his hands and then put one over his head, eyes looking up as much as he could.
"Why am I so short now?" he asked.
"Oh dear," the Doctor breathed. It was Arthur, but he had no idea how he'd become a child. "Erm, that's...that's Arthur," he told Avalon.
"What!?"
"On the bright side, he's not dead."
"Doctor!"
The Doctor winced. "Yeah, alright." He cleared his throat and turned to the creature. "If we're non-hostile, then you can start giving us some answers. What's your function?"
"Designation. Vorlax regeneration drone. Function: to provide replacement bodies for infantry terminally compromised in conflict," the creature dutifully responded.
"Doctor – English, please?" Avalon said impatiently. Why couldn't one of their 'enemies' be simple and clear?
"It creates clones that absorb people's consciousnesses at the moment of death. It's brilliant, actually!"
"I don't know if that's the word I'd use for this," Avalon said, "It's not exactly asking for consent, is it?" Her eyes then fixated on the creature. "Technically speaking, Arthur is dead but his consciousness was copied and placed in a clone. Yeah, it's cheating death."
"Well," the Doctor fixed the collars of his jacket, "Can't really say anything there, can I?"
Avalon sighed. "No, I guess not." Her eyes flickered to the creature as well. "So why the hell are you posing as a nurse anyways?"
"Compromised by enemy fire. Teleport drive malfunction. Upon arrival in foreign terrain, activated camouflage protocol."
"And you decided being a bitchy nurse was the way to go?"
"Avalon," the Doctor said. He whipped out his sonic again and used it on the creature.
"And now, neither will you," the Doctor said gleefully. A bright light was taking over the creature from within. "I've repaired the Vorlax's teleport. Programmed it with a new destination and started the countdown for departure!"
"Where's it going to!?" Avalon asked.
"I'm sending it to an uninhabited garden world! Somewhere it can't cause any trouble!"
"Now wait a minute!" Avalon hurried in front of the Doctor, arms open wide on her sides. "That thing about consent – it should involve the rest of the residents! They should have the chance to choose what they want to happen to them and their home!"
"But – Avalon!" the Doctor groaned. He hated when she made sense. He stopped the process and lowered his sonic. "What do you want to do? Ask everybody?"
"Yes, why not?" Avalon raised an eyebrow at him. "Don't they deserve to make the choice? The choice that the others didn't get to make?"
The Doctor bobbed his head. "Yeah, I guess so."
"You should!" huffed Avalon. "Given the fact that you can regenerate, you should've thought about this first."
"You can allegedly regenerate too," the Doctor pointed out solely for the argument's sake. He never wanted to see his wife regenerate. "Alright, fine, let's gather them up and ask."
Avalon grinned and dropped her arms on her sides.

As soon as they left the now dozens of children in the new uninhabited planet, Avalon and the Doctor returned to the TARDIS for a much needed rest. Avalon was ecstatic that everyone in the nursing home had decided to run away and become children again – they were going to live a new life! That they chose! She of course took special interest in what little Arthur was going to do now. She might check up on him later in the future.
Much later in the evening, now in the TARDIS, Avalon bobbed her head in front of the bathroom mirror. Her voluminous red curls bounced with her. They were damp from her shower.
"Do you think if I regenerated, I could turn into a, I don't know, a teenager?" She walked into the bedroom and rolled her eyes at the sight of the Doctor lying on their bed, carelessly tossing his sonic into the air relentlessly.
"Why on Earth would you ever want to go back to being a teenager?" the Doctor shuddered. "Talk about awkward!"
"I don't know, maybe to see if this time things worked out in my favor?" shrugged Avalon. "That would be a good story, actually."
The Doctor caught his sonic and pointed it at Avalon, his face dead serious when he warned her: "You better not try to regenerate for the sake of a story."
Avalon smirked. "Don't tell me what to do, Fairy Tale Man. I might just do the opposite now."
The Doctor didn't like that joke on any level. He sat upright, putting his sonic away. "I mean it, Avalon. Your regeneration isn't exactly a stabilized thing. We don't know if you actually can regenerate, alright?"
Avalon shrugged again. "I'd have to find out at some point in my life. How long can you live in one body?" She walked up to the bed, climbing over it to sit beside the Doctor.
With a sigh, the Doctor answered her. "Your first body is always different. You live to a very old age – there's no exact number – but it can be your longest body if you take care of it."
"What about the last one?" Avalon asked quietly.
The Doctor's head lowered. "Like the first one. You can live long as long as you take care of it."
"Really? You're not just telling me that?"
"No."
Avalon scooted closer to the Doctor, bringing one arm over his shoulder and leaning her chin on top. "Good, because when you go…I go too."
"Don't," the Doctor warned her again.
"Well, what would you do if I died? Or if I just couldn't regenerate?"
"I'd die with you, but…that's different," the Doctor said, prompting a hard scoff from Avalon.
"How?"
The Doctor sighed. He moved his shoulder until Avalon pulled her arm from him. "You really want to know?"
"If there's an actual answer behind that other than hypocrisy? Yes, I do," Avalon said, sitting on her knees and promptly waiting for said explanation.
"Fine," the Doctor shifted his body to face Avalon, "If you were to die – which you won't – then I'd have nothing again. I've lived for a very long time, Ava. I know what it's like to be truly alone for ages. The darkness that rears its head around is one that I don't want to face again, not when I've lived such wonderful, amazing years with you."
As touched as Avalon was, and she was, she couldn't fathom the idea of letting him simply die with her. It actually hurt her heart to even think about it. "But you could still have centuries to live after, to find somebody new!"
The Doctor shook his head. "I wouldn't. I know I wouldn't because I've already been everywhere before you. I know what's out there and I'm not interested. But if I were to die, I'd want to you to keep going. You haven't seen a quarter of what I've seen already. You haven't lived like I have. I don't want you to waste your precious years – your regenerations – on me because you deserve to live your years. Centuries. You're an aspiring writer, a traveler, and you have too much to look forward to."
Avalon smiled softly at him. "I appreciate the sentiment but what makes you think that I'd want to do any of that stuff if you're not around?"
"You'd have to," the Doctor said simply, "Because your family wouldn't let you do anything else." He reached for her body, tugging her closer until he brought her down on the bed beside her. He interlaced their hands between them. "That's the difference. For better or for worse, that's it."
"Well, it sucks then because it's not fair," Avalon said, shaking her head, "I'm 50 years old…"
"And I'm 1400, talk about an age gap," the Doctor smiled at her. "But see? You've got so much to do, with or without me."
"I choose with you," Avalon said cleverly, snuggling up to him. She simply couldn't imagine a world where she didn't live with her husband.
It just couldn't happen.

A few hours ago.
All the new children waved happily at the TARDIS as it disappeared. One brunette girl with pigtails especially liked the dematerialization process.
"It's like magic, huh Arthur?" She looked around for her friend but didn't see him right away. "Arthur?"
The TARDIS had completely disappeared now.
The same girl started looking around more carefully as the other children walked away from the area. "Arthur? Arthur, where are you!?" It was like Arthur had disappeared into thin air. "ARTHUR!"
From a distance, a girl with long black hair smirked. Chiyoko loved seeing history unfold itself. One more to check off the list.
