ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ ・・・・☆・・・・

"You know, my dad used to sing the next song..." The crowd erupts in cheers, going wild at screaming in support for your Papa. You can only look back to where Aether was standing, and see him give you a thumbs up before turning back to the public "Get ready for Mary On A Cross!"

You take a deep breath and hear the familiar sound of Dew's guitar starting, followed by Aether. Soon, it's your turn to complement the guitar riffs. You can only hope it doesn’t go as badly as it did in practice.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ ・・・・☆・・・・

"Why do we need another ghoul?" The smallest ghoul of the group said, pointing at you with his palms, not even bothering to take a look at your face "We already have Swiss who is, have you forgotten already, a multighoul? It means he can do ANYTHING"

"Hey, just because it means I can do anything, it doesn't mean it's easy. Cirrus and Cumulus help, and with the arrival of Sunshine, it got even easier, but I still get three or more instruments to play during the show" The one you thought to be the ghoul named Swiss spoke, coming closer to you and throwing an arm around your shoulders "She can play the guitar with you guys. The ghoulettes are always behind on stage, it would be nice to have one upfront, don't you think, Dewdrop?"

"You don't even know if she can play the guitar. And you know she have to be good to keep up with us" The one that you now knew was named Dew replied, not even bothering to ask if you could play the guitar – which you could – or if you were good at it – which you were –. He was clearly the most distressed about your sudden appearence

"Can you play the guitar?" Another ghoul appeared behind you, scaring you momentarily. You could swear you had seen him at the side of Dewdrop moments before "I'm Aether, by the way. The most powerful ghoul and the one who can play the sickest guitar riffs"

"Yeah, the sickest because everyone is sick after hearing what you call music" Dewdrop answered, searching for something in his shirt pocket and after finding, throwing in Aether's direction. A guitar pick

It didn't had time to reach Aether, who flinched either way. The guitar pick quickly came back to a stop on a ghoulette's hand, who was awaiting with her hand open

"The name is Cumulus!" Waving quickly towards you, the short ghoulette presented herself "And this is Cirrus!" She continued, pointing to the tallest ghoulette, who waved back to you "And our newest.. well, was our newest addition, Sunshine!", Sunshine said a small hi to you, coming from behind Cirrus, and you offered a smile in return

After her ghoulettes introductions, she sent the pick back in Dewdrop's way with a wave of her hand. The look of surprise in your face must have told her something, because she was quick to explain her little act

"We are able to keep our elements even when we are summoned here at Earth. I guess it helps both parties; the summoners and the summoned. Me and Cirrus are related to the air, That's why I was able to get Dewdrop's pick. I just controlled the air around it" Cirrus seemed to like to talk, taking every opportunity to explain about this new world to you

"What about you, have you discovered your element yet?" A more calm voice approached you, and you looked to see another ghoul coming closer to you "I'm Rain, nice to meet you!" He offered his hand for you to shake, and you gladly took

"Don't worry if you haven't yet, our Sunshine here hasn't found out what is her element either" Swiss looked back to you, trying to calm your nerves

You couldn't remember much from what was the way you used to live. You remembered the burning feeling, that was as clear as day, and the female voice surrounding you moments before everything turned white and you appeared here. But you couldn't remember from what region of Hell you were, and that could help a lot in finding out your element, neither could you remember how you used to interact with other demons, which could dictate your personality and therefore be able to find what type of ghoul you were

"She looks like a water ghoul. Look at her tail, it has small fins just like Rain. And she hasn't said a word back to Dewdrop, despite him being an asshole" Aether approached you, looking you up and down and turning you around to show the others

"This means she is quite calm, like a water ghoul" With your face turned from where the majority of the ghouls was standing, you saw who was behind you this whole time, only observing. He was the tallest ghoul of the group, and was standing awkward, with his bare feet touching the grass "But is she a general water ghoul? Or a specific one?" He walked closer to you, his height making so he had to hunch over to look you in the eyes. You took a little step back, feeling nervousness spread through your body, you blurt out the most stupid thing your brain could conjure

"Why are you so tall?"

The look in the ghoul's face was one of pure surprise. How could your first words in the human realm be something along the lines of questioning his height?

"She is alive!" Dewdrop throws his arms around in a dramatic manner "And she talks!"

You question of why Mountain – the tall ghoul – was so tall was soon answered by Swiss, who quoting, said that the ghoul was 'an earth ghoul and so he ressembles a tree', which was followed by a smack in his head giving by said ghoul

The Papa, who you soon learned, liked to be called only Copia, was the one who asked for your presence, saying he needed a bigger range of feminine voices in his next album, and so his mother complied, summoning you from the pits of hell, asking for a voice that would be able to spread the word of Satan's church as fast as the ice freezing down a body of water. And so, she received you

Your first days at the Abbey weren't the nicest ones. You were summoned for the specific reason of singing and helping the band, so your mornings were filled with singing lessons, your afternoons with eletric guitar lessons, and your nights with learning every song of Ghost already released. Keeping your head down and your voice low, you heard a lot from Dewdrop, since he was a fire ghoul and was the obvious opposite of you, a water ghoul. Rain, who you ended up being really close to, since you were the only other water type ghoul after him, told you Dewdrop used to act just like this with him too, but after a few weeks, when seeing he was no threat, ended up being his friend. It was more about the fire ghoul being territorial than aggressive

Even though you were becoming quite the close friends with Rain and the other ghoulettes, you still had one specific ghoul in your mind: Mountain. He was probably the quietest ghoul of the group, surpassing even the water ghouls. Being a water ghoul yourself, you knew you could approach strangers, talk to them, make friends, but with Mountain was another story. He wouldn't talk to anyone outside the band ghouls, and whenever another ghoul or even a sister tried to talk to him, he would answer and quickly go somewhere, mostly outside at the gardens. You made a promise to yourself that you would be able to get him to come and talk to you

It was another day filled with practice. You had gone from Kaisarion to Square Hammer, from Dance Macabre to He Is, repeating the upcoming tour tracklist over and over until you felt a sting in your fingers, but you couldn't stop. You had to prove to the ghouls that besides being the newest addition and the youngest ghoul, you were worth of your position

But there was one song that was about to be your downfall. Mary On a Cross. Of course, Papa Nihil always entering the practice room when he heard the initial chords to his song and talking your ear off about his glory days had nothing to do with the growing unpleasing feeling you had everytime the time to train the song arrived. Ok, this was one of the reasons, but the song just made you nervous for some reason. The creepiness of singing and playing such an old song, the nervousness of presenting the song while the creator of it was right there listening, and the anxiousness of being a new ghoul created a snowball effect that was slowly swallowing you whole

This night would be a different night, though. It marked the seven days countdown to your first ritual, and you had to go through this song one more time. It was the only one that was giving you problems, and you wouldn't let Papa Nihil see you getting it wrong one more time, specially because he would be touring with the band this time, since he was the only one who could do the current Miasma saxophone solo

You pressed play on the radio that was kept at the practice room, and you looked down at your eletric guitar, trying to become one with it, just like you were taught, when a loud sound caught your attention. The sound of the door being open

Satan, not Papa Nihil again, you thought to yourself, but were surprised to see the ghoul you were less expecting coming form behind the door. It was Mountain

Stepping inside and closing the door behind him, he turned back to look inside the room, only to find you staring back straight at his masked face

"Hello, Mountain" You said, putting your guitar aside and getting up

"I didn't notice you were here before. I'm sorry, I will be leav..."

"Please, there's no need for this" You interrupted the other ghoul, sitting down at the couch again "I would rather if you could stay with me during this practice"

"Did something happened? Is Dewdrop annoying you again?" Mountain sat by your side, looking at you intensely

"No, the last time, I threatened to splash water on him and he ran away calling for Aether" You answered, remembering the fact with a smile. After the night of the incident, the ghoul seemed much calmer, even making jokes near your presence, which made you think that maybe he was finally warming up to you

"Always running to Aether. I don't know how the big guy still protects him after all the menace Dew causes" With a smile, Mountain put his hand in your knees "It seems you are finally opening up to us. You talk more lately"

"You are one to say, this is the first time we maintain a conversation" You didn't let pass the small blush that spread through the ghoul's cheeks

"I am just very observant" Mountain replied "And I observed you overworking yourself ever since you have been summoned. You don't need to be perfect, you know this?"

"I have been summoned by Sister Imperator herself. It is my duty to be perfect" You sat upright, trying to convey your thoughts through your actions

"Not even the older ghouls know everything, you shouldn't think too much about this"

"Yes, I should, Mountain!" You replied, raising your voice. You noticed quickly how the ghoul brows furrowed and how his reassuring smile dissappeared "I'm sorry for raising my voice. I didn't mean to"

"It's okay, little one"

And with that, he smiled again, his sharp teeth showing through his lips, and for a moment, you wondered how they would taste against your mouth. Focusing your eyes in something else, you tried to move those thoughts away

"So, nervous for your first ritual?" Mountain sat back, relaxing his posture and putting one of his long leg over the other

"Definetely! There's this one song, though..." You stopped yourself from continuing, scared of what the ghoul might think of you admitting you couldn't play a song of the tracklist

"Don't worry, I can help you if you tell me what the song is" As if reading your thoughts, Mountain softened his voice, trying not to scare you back into your shell

"It's Mary on a Cross" You said, closing your eyes and hoping for the worst, not even wanting to see the ghoul's reaction

"Oh, that one? Well, here is the deal to play this song..."

"Wait, you aren't going to belittle me and send me back to hell?" You opened one of your eyes, still nervous. You only received a hearty laugh from Mountain, one that few people had the delight to hear or see

"Why would I do that? We all have difficulties in certain songs. As I told you, no one is perfect"

"It's... just such a fan favorite, I'm scared of getting it wrong.."

"Here, let me help you. When you are on stage, try following my lead on the drums. You can stay closer to me too, if that helps" He seemed happy to be able to help in any way "Next group practice, let's try this, okay?"

"Okay, Mountain. Thank you, really"

"It's no problem, little one. Anything else?"

"Now that I think about it..." You started saying

"Yes?"

"How do I act sexy on stage like Dewdrop?" You asked innocently, only to see Mountain getting up quickly and running towards the door

"DEWDROP! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING OUR LITTLE GHOULETTE?"

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ ・・・・☆・・・・

The start of the drums bring you back to your current position, and you quickly dislocate yourself to stay near Mountain, just like you practiced with him

You take a deep breath, and hear the words of Sister Imperator coming to mind, her advice of 'Becoming one with the guitar' doing nothing to ease your mind from the nervousness you felt. You found your fingers trembling, making the sounds the guitar was making tremble together. Everything would go wrong, you would be taken off from the band, the ghouls and ghoulettes would laugh at you and...

You looked back, at where Mountain was seated, and you saw that through his concentration, he was able to steal a quick glance in your direction, making sure you were alright. And this was enough

You heard his voice in your mind, repeating the advice he told you million times during practice. 'Become one with the music, and the music will follow your lead'

And so, you followed what he told you

You quickly found yourself being able to control your guitar, it's chords bowing down to your skill, and you finally were able to ease the anxiety that was plaguing your mind. Coming closer to where your microphone was standing, you prepared to sing together with the ghoulettes and Papa, finally being able to feel the music filling you with it's emotions

"You go down just like Holy Mary

Mary on a, Mary on a cross

Your beauty never ever scared me

Mary on a, Mary on a cross"

After that, only a few seconds were necessary and the music was over. The sweet music that has been stressing you over for weeks now was finally over, and you felt like you had just completed a challenge that put you further into being an official addition to the band

A couple of songs later and you were waving down at the audience, collecting flowers, throwing guitar picks and hugging your fellow ghouls and ghoulettes to bow down while hearing the applause. You choose to stay near Mountain during this part for obvious reason

"What you guys did back there was amazing!" You heard Copia's voice as soon as you entered backstage "And you!" He pointed at you, and you quickly felt fear run through your veins. He heard you messing up, it was all over now. "You were perfect! I knew you would be a good addition!"

"Thank you, Papa" You answered truthfully, letting go of a breath you didn't even knew you were holding

The ghouls each went to their specific places, some staying at the corner, others talking together in a little group. All of them, including Dewdrop, stopped their activities to congratulate you on your first ritual, and you felt a closer connection to them than before

"You did great back then!" Finally, the voice you wanted to hear the most. Mountain appeared behind you, making you turn and stare him in his now unmasked eyes

"It would not be possible without your help" You replied, sincerely

"That's not true. It was your talent..." He put a finger on your forehead, giving a little push and making you laugh "...and those skilled fingers..." He held your fingers with both of his hands, caressing them "That made the show so great tonight"

Your wide smile felt like escaping your face, from how happy you were feeling

"Thank you. Really. It means a lot to me"

"I am always here to help, little one"

The way he held his gaze on your eyes made your legs weak, and your immortal heart feel like jumping out of your ribcage. What was this man doing to you? Had he put you in a spell? You felt your cheeks grow warm after noticing how his large hands were still holding yours, making it seem like your hands were molded to fit each other perfectly. Your thoughts were racing through your mind, you had barely registered his face coming closer to yours, until you felt his lips, touching yours lightly

"Can I kiss you, little one?"

"Yes, please, Mounty..." The nickname seemed to do something to him, since he grabbed your face in both his hands, and closed the distance between your bodies, kissing you slowly. You felt his warm lips touching yours, your mouth moving according to his lead, and your hands instinctively found their way through his hair, caressing him and making him moan in a deep low pitch in the kiss.

"Satan, you are going to make me crazy" Mountain stopped kissing you for a moment, his comment making you smile. But soon he was back to kissing you again, this time, asking for entrance with his tongue. You happily obliged, opening your mouth slightly and letting his tongue, feeling how in that kiss was the sweetness of passion, a million loving thoughts condensed into a moment

"Guys! Our little ghoulette is an ice element ghoul!"

You and Mountain quickly separated, looking around and seeing all the eyes on both of you. Looking for who said the phrase that interrupted your moment with Mountain, you found Dewdrop pointing at something under you. You looked down to see a circle of ice forming around your feet, in the rough shape of a small human heart. Looking up again, your eyes encountered the glowing eyes of Mountain already staring back at you, looking like they had seen a million constellations in your face

"That explains how cold your hands are" Mountain said, still looking at your eyes

"MOUNTAIN!" You were able to shout, hitting him in the arm, before a laugh erupted from both of you.

since u asked for angst reqs, can i pls request a fic based on this song lyrics? It’s ‘I don’t want to wait’ by Paula Cole.

I don't want to to wait for our lives to be over

I want to know right now what will it be

I don't want to wait for our lives to be over

Will it be yes or will it be sorry?

no pressure at all, if you don’t feel like writing it, that’s completely fine. I love ur writing btw!! And i hope you have a good day/night 🫶🏻

OMG my first request! Thank you! I had so much fun with this!

Warnings: smut (18+ only), angst, fluff, language, PTSD, alcoholism, pregnancy, Eddie in the military, Eddie is aged up (about 24-25 years old at the start)

WC: 2.9k

“I am so, so proud of you.”

You glance up at your boyfriend, clad in his army uniform. The camouflage print is a stark contrast from the frayed concert tees and ripped skinny jeans he wore when you met him in high school. He’s grown now, more confident; the military training has given him the structure and discipline he so badly needed growing up.

He’s had to cut his long curly locks, much to your dismay. You’ve loved running your fingers through his hair, clumsily braiding it while you curled up and watched movies on the sofa.

“It’ll grow back, love,” he’d murmured into your lips.

Now he was being deployed for the next six months. Six long months without his bear hugs, without the kisses pressed to the back of your neck to gently wake you in the morning, without him singing and playing air guitar while he cooked dinner.

You were shocked when Eddie first talked about joining the military. So shocked that you laughed, thinking it was a joke, but he was dead serious.

“Baby, I graduated high school by the skin of my teeth on the third try,” he’d reminded you. He’d put his hand on your trembling knee. “I love you. I want to build a future with you. And this is how I can do it.”

“I’m going to be a certified teacher soon,” you said. “I’ll get a full-time job, with benefits, summers off…”

“I know, I know. But this is…this is something I need to do. And I need your support.”

You’ve reluctantly come around, but basic training went by too fast. Now he was going off to war. It was time to say goodbye.

He pulls you in for a tight hug. “Hold on to it; it’s gotta last six months,” he whispers. He’s crying, you’re crying, and even though you’re surrounded by other sobbing families, you feel like you’re the only two people in the room.

“I gotta go now, okay?” But it’s not okay. Nothing is okay. You can’t let him know that, so you give a halfhearted smile and squeeze him back, planting a tender kiss on his lips.

The walk back to the car is the longest walk of your life. You throw a Metallica cassette in the player. Metal was definitely more Eddie’s thing than yours, but you need to feel him here, singing along. Tears stream down your face; you probably shouldn’t be driving, but you can’t think about that.

You get back to your apartment; a little one-bedroom that seems way too big now. It’s a Friday; you and Eddie normally order pizza tonight, but you have no appetite.

You take a deep breath and repeat: “You can do this. You can get through this.”

Six months crawls by. It got a little easier; Nancy, Robin, Steve, and the kids (who were no longer kids, really, but they would always be little to you guys) kept you busy. Dustin had even attempted to teach you to play D&D, to no avail. But every movie night, every dinner party, the space where Eddie should be felt suffocating. When he was here, you’d stay out until you could barely keep your eyes open, but now you left as soon as you could.

But he was coming home! You wait impatiently as the soldiers file into the room to reunite with their loved ones. After what felt like an eternity, you see him. His electric grin lights up the room as he runs, bumping into people and not even caring.

“Oh my God, babe,” he breathes into you. “I missed you so fuckin’ much.” He envelops you in a hug, lifting you off the crowd. You wrap your arms around his neck and swear you’ll never let go.

“I missed you more,” you finally reply. Your world feels complete again.

“Not possible.” He kisses you deeply and you grab his face lovingly. “Catch me up on everything that’s happened while I’ve been gone?”

You walk with his arm slung around you, listening intently as you tell him about life in Hawkins. Steve’s met “the one” about three times, Nancy got promoted to junior editor at the Hawkins Post, Robin’s going to grad school for her MBA.

“And how’s my girl?” he asks, pressing a kiss to your temple.

“So much better now,” you admit. “I have good news, too.” Eddie raises an eyebrow and you continue. “I got my teaching placement! You’re looking at Hawkins High’s newest English teacher.”

Eddie’s eyes sparkle with pride. “Baby, that’s incredible. You’re gonna kick ass.” He takes your hand and holds it tight, bringing it up to his lips and kissing it. “I’m gonna have to play ‘Hot for Teacher’ every night.”

You swat at his chest playfully and he smiles. “So, tonight,” you start, “everyone wanted to throw you a party, but I wanted you all to myself until tomorrow, if that’s okay.”

“That sounds wonderful. I just need to be with you, beautiful. It’s been way too long.” A shiver runs down your spine as Eddie runs his forefinger down your profile.

You’re barely through the door of the apartment when Eddie starts undressing you, lifting your dress over your head and tossing it carelessly onto the floor. There’s no sense in protesting; you’ve missed him too much and you’re busy with the buttons on his uniform. He pulls you into the bedroom and positions you on top of him, straddling his waist. He lets out a whimper as you kiss his jaw, trailing down his neck and his chest as you grind against him. His finger presses against your clit through your panties, rubbing small circles while you wail.

“Mm, Y/N,” he moans. He bucks his hips involuntarily and you let out a sigh.

“Eddie. Eddie, I-I need you,” you cry out. There’s no time for formal foreplay, and you don’t need it. You slide your underwear down your legs as he palms himself through his boxers.

He throws his head back as he sees you naked in front of him. It reminds me of the first time you two had had sex. Senior year of high school: you’d been dating for three months, and he had just finished an epic D&D campaign, which called for a celebration. He suggested ice cream, but you had something else in mind.

You’d had ice cream after, though.

“Missed this view,” he says now, rock hard underneath you. He pulls out his cock and slips it in you. It’s like finding a missing piece that completes the puzzle. You could come right then and there.

He takes it slow, letting himself feel you clench around him, feel your slick on him.

“N-need it faster, Eds,” you mumble, and he nods as he speeds up, and you both finish together.

Sex usually ends with cuddling, but Eddie is all over you today, much moreso than usual. He doesn’t stop kissing you until he falls asleep, and you do the same, passing out on his chest.

You wake up too tired to cook. Besides, cooking would take time away from cuddling with Eddie, so you roll over and say, “I’m ordering pizza. What do you want on it?”

You’re expecting one of his usual answers, extra cheese or pepperoni, but his response shocks you.

“I want you to marry me.”

You prop yourself up on your elbow. “What?” You couldn’t have heard that correctly. He was probably just dreaming, or maybe you were. A pinch to your skin confirms that you are, in fact, very much awake.

“The whole time I was deployed, I couldn’t stop thinking about starting our lives together. And…I don’t want to wait anymore. We can get a ring tomorrow, before we see our friends. And then I want to marry you. At the courthouse. I want to get married as soon as possible.”

A courthouse wedding isn’t something you’d ever really considered, but you also aren’t a fan of big, over-the-top weddings. You realize Eddie is still waiting for an answer.

“Of course I’ll marry you, Eddie!” you respond breathlessly. He takes your face in both his hands and kisses it one hundred times. “Can we…maybe do something a little fancier than the courthouse? Nothing extravagant, but something special with family and friends?”

He nods, smiling from ear to ear. “Whatever you want. As long as I get to be your husband.”

The next few weeks should be filled with the normal excitement of wedding planning, but something takes precedence over the bridal magazines and dress fittings. There’s something wrong with Eddie. He has horrible nightmares where he wakes up sweating and hyperventilating, sometimes even crying. You can’t touch him until he comes back to Earth, and sometimes it takes hours. When he wakes you up in the morning, his morning breath is tinged with vodka and his words are slurred.

One day, you get home from work with a pile of papers to grade. As soon as you walk in the door, a cloud of thick gray smoke hits you. A small fire has broken out on the stove where Eddie was trying to cook something, but he’s passed out on the couch with empty beer cans strewn around him. The fire is still small enough to be contained, so you flick off the burner and throw a dish towel over it, screaming Eddie’s name.

“EDDIE! EDDIE, GET UP!” Your voice is a mixture of worry and anger. You twist your engagement ring around your finger, a small diamond on a silver band. You know what you have to say, what you have to do.

“Wha-what?” Eddie wakes with a startle, and he doesn’t even notice the smoke at first. “What the fuck happened?”

“Why don’t you tell me? I walked in and you were about to burn the place down.”

“Shit, Y/N, I must’ve fell asleep.” He can’t make eye contact; you both know that he’s lying.

“No, Eddie. You didn’t fall asleep. You passed out from drinking too much.” You force yourself to look at him, so different than when he first arrived home. “Eds, you…you need help. Help that I can’t give you. You need to talk to a professional about the nightmares and the drinking. You need serious help.”

“I’m fine,” he grumbles. “Can’t a man just be tired?”

You choke back tears. “I love you so much. I want to be your wife more than anything in the world, but–”

“But nothing! Let’s just get married, like I said! C’mon, babe. Just you and me.”

“No. I can’t. Not with you like this,” you take a deep breath, your voice trembling. “Eddie, if you don’t get help, I-I can’t marry you. I can’t be with you. I can support you while you get help, but I can’t fix you. I wish I could. I wish I could take away all your pain, b-but I can’t. Please, please get help.”

“I don’t need help. I’m fine, and if you can’t accept that, then maybe we shouldn’t be together anyway.”

“I think you should stay with Wayne,” you say, twisting the ring off of your finger. You place it in his hand. “I love you, Eddie Munson.”

“No, you don’t. If you loved me, you wouldn’t be doing this.” He shoves the ring in his pocket and heads into the bedroom. “I’ll pack my bags.”

“I can…I can call Wayne. You can’t drive like this,” you say softly, but he doesn’t answer.

Wayne comes by as Eddie finishes throwing his clothes into a suitcase. The old man stands at your door wordlessly, and you cry as Eddie leaves. He turns around, and for a second you’re filled with hope that he’ll change his mind and get help. Instead he says cruelly, “Don’t cry. This was your choice. Live with it.” Wayne mouths a silent I’m sorry as he ushers his nephew to the car.

You know you did the right thing. He’s going to die if he doesn’t get help, and you can’t enable him. You won’t. Still, it doesn’t stop the tears from falling.

You get a call ten days later, and you recognize Wayne’s gruff voice as soon as you hear it.

“He went to rehab. Gonna cost us a pretty penny, but he went yesterday.”

Relief floods through your veins. You don’t know what this means for your relationship, but Eddie is trying to get better, and that’s what matters.

“When can we visit?”

“They said thirty days. I can take you with me if you want.”

You nod before realizing that he can’t see you. “That would be great, Wayne. Thank you so much.”

“No, Y/N, thank you,” he clears his throat. “If you didn’t say anything, he’d still be drinking himself into an early grave. He’s doing this for him, but he’s also doing this for you. He wouldn’t stop crying about losing you.”

“I love him, Wayne,” is all you can manage. “I’d do anything for him.”

The rehab center is quaint and quiet. You’re fidgeting as you wait for Eddie, a much different feeling than when you waited for him to come home a few months ago. You and Wayne sit on the couch when Eddie comes out. His eyes light up when he sees you and his uncle. You’re unsure whether or not to hug him, but he makes the choice for you, pulling you up and holding you.

“I am so, so sorry. I was horrible to you, and you didn’t deserve any of it. You’re the reason I’m alive, Y/N.” He leans in to kiss you, but you pull away.

“Say hi to Wayne,” you practically whisper, and he does, but there’s a confused look on his face.

“I’ll give you two some time,” Wayne offers as he steps out to give you privacy.

“Eddie,” you begin, “I’m so proud of you for getting help. I love seeing you healthy, but…you need to stay healthy. You have to stay sober, and you have to keep talking to someone about the nightmares.”

Eddie swallows. “It’s called PTSD. Add it to the list of reasons why Eddie Munson is fucked up,” he jokes lamely, but it earns him a small smile. “And I know. After this 90 days, I’m going to outpatient therapy, and I’ll go to AA and get a sponsor and everything. I want to get better and stay better.”

He shuffles his feet and reaches into his pocket. “Will you…will you wear your ring again? If I break my promise, you can take it off. But I’m committed to you, and committed to treatment. I’m going to do my best, I swear.”

You consider his sincerity, the pleading in his eyes, your history together. “As long as you take care of yourself, just like you are now, then, yes. Yes, we can get re-engaged.” You let him slip the ring on your finger and kiss him, arms wrapped around his waist. “But I think we should have a longer engagement. I know you don’t want to wait, but I want to make sure…”

Eddie takes your hands. “Y/N, whatever I need to do to earn your trust again, I’ll do it. I’ll wait a million years, if that’s what it takes.”

You laugh again, more genuinely this time. “It better not take that long, Munson. I don’t wanna be all old and wrinkly in my wedding dress.”

With three years of sobriety under his belt, Eddie once again is faced with the heartbreaking task of deployment. This time, things are different. For starters, you’re now his wife, and have been for almost a year. He also knows that he’s going to attend an AA meeting the day he gets home. He’s packed a journal so he can write down how he feels and note any major changes in mood. He doesn’t want to hurt himself or you or Wayne anymore.

You and Wayne drop him off at the airport. He gives you each a hug, holding you tight against his body. “I’m gonna miss you both so damn much,” he says. “I love you guys.”

“Six months will fly by, son, and you’ll be home before you know it,” Wayne comforts him, placing a hand on his back.

“I’ll be counting down the days till I’m back with you two,” Eddie replies.

“You mean, us three,” you say softly.

“Three?” Eddie furrows his brows, confused. “You, Wayne, and…”

“Baby Munson,” you tell him, placing his hands on your stomach. There’s no bump yet, but something flutters as he touches you.

“Are you…are you serious?” Eddie kisses your smiling lips before you can reply. “How far along are you?”

“Only about a month. The doctor confirmed it yesterday.” Eddie’s beaming, and you can see Wayne smiling the biggest smile you’ve ever seen from the stoic man.

“I’m gonna be a dad,” Eddie says incredulously. “That’s my little baby in there.” He points at your stomach.

“Baby’s gonna be a whole lot bigger the next time you see me,” you tease. “I’ll be seven months pregnant, and then we’ll only have two months until we get to meet him or her.”

Eddie nuzzles your neck lovingly. “My beautiful wife, pregnant with my beautiful baby.” He crouches down and speaks directly to your tummy.

“Hi, baby. I can’t get home soon enough. I don’t want to wait to meet you.”

Judges or Distractions

I've been trying to think about why American Idol has so many successful contestants, but a show like The Voice, which arguably has the same hype, has none and I think I've found the reason.

The judges panel.

Idol's panel consisted of a behind the scenes music executive, two former performers who had moved on to more behind the scenes work, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul. The Voice opened its doors with a stacked panel of front of camera celebrities, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Agulilera, and Ceelo Green and a few twists. Judges weren't just judges they were coaches, contestants were chosen solely based on their vocal abilities, no more Sanjaya's or William Hung's just talented singers hoping for their chance at a recording contract.

On Idol, Jackson and Abdul had moved from the spotlight. The former became a producer, the latter choreography. Cowell was a popular producer. While The Voices judges were coming off album releases and hit singles. You knew who they were and were tuning in to see them. Whereas on American Idol, you'd heard of them but not in a while, so you wanted to see what they were up to and got distracted by the singing.

American Idol advertised the singers and the competition. The Voice is the opposite, every commercial focuses on the judges. Come see this famous person do this thing. Come see the bromance between Blake and Adam. Come see Christina Aguilera and Ceelo Green be subject to the Bladam's antics.

Idol viewers had no choice but to tune in and pay attention to the singers. Even when the judges' quirks became drinking game worthy, they were still never a distraction.

The voice has had 24 seasons. 24 ended a few weeks ago, and they are advertising season 25 now. And I have no idea who won. I have never heard of any of the winners from any season. Not a song, not a Good Morning America interview, nothing! Kelly Clarkson won in 2002. I remember the radio DJ announcing the new song from the winner of American Idol. Since U Been Gone sounded and I was struck. Jennifer Hundson placed 7th on her season, and she's an EGOT, both have served as coaches on The Voice. Carrie Underwood is the most awarded country singer.

I say all of this as a person who does not watch either show, yet I know so much about winners and runnerups of American Idol. I watched one season of Idol (S6) because a girl from my area was on the show, and the whole county was rooting and voting for her. Once she was eliminated, I stopped watching, but not before, of course, casting a few joke votes for Sanjaya. The Voice I've seen absolutely nothing of.

Supporting my theory is that once Cowell, Jackson, and Abdul left the show and were replaced with current celebrity judges, my knowledge of the winners and losers has gone to zilch. Scott McCreary and Phillip Phillips were the last winners I've ever heard music from. Now, all the ads focus on the celebrity judges. Occasionally, a contestant will slip through, but it's never of them singing just their heartfelt story.

Auds! I missed you ❤️ How are you doing today? If you’re up for some headcanon questions here’s a challenge I came up with

Headcanon challenge:

1. Besides “Mick” and “Mickey”, what’s Ian nickname for Mickey? From all the nicknames Mickey calls him , what’s Ian’s favorite?

2. What’s the story behind Mickey’s knuckle tattoos? (When / how / by who) When Ian gets a tattoo for Mickey, what is it / on what occasion?

3. Random turn-on for Mickey and a random turn-on for Ian? (Bonus: something that really shouldn’t be a turn on but is)

4. What’s their Instagram @ ? When did they start following each other?

5. If they get a pet, is it a dog (who walks it more often?) or a cat (who cuddles with it more often) ?

Can’t wait to see your answers 😉

Anon xx!! Fancy seeing you here, love! I'm good! How are you??

Ohhh so many questions!! I have avoided everyone else's answers so I could try to not be influenced by anyone's amazing headcanons!

Putting below the cut because I got chatty (TW for mentions of a white supremacy group)

1. I fucking melt at the idea of Ian calling Mickey, "Baby" and he pretends to hate it but we know he secretly loves that shit. Especially when Ian is balls deep and hitting that perfect spot. And I also like to think that Ian calls Mickey, "Tiger" from time to time. (Thanks, Paula! You fucking psycho)

And when it comes to Ian's favorite nickname that Mickey uses for him? Ian adores them all. Because, Mickey says things by saying other things.

"Whatcha thinkin' bout, Firecrotch?" Really means, "I see you in this exact moment for everything that you are. I know you're overthinking and it's okay. We're okay."

"You listenin', Freckles?" Really means, "Hey, talk to me. It's not your problem anymore, Ian. It's ours to work through together."

Idk, I just think Mickey always has love behind his nicknames, no matter what.

2. Okay, I'm so glad to see this question! I have a headcanon for this that I was going to put in a fic that I'm no longer writing. (I'll probably use it in something else, but I'm excited to put it out in the world)

So, I believe Mickey got his knuckle tattoos on his 13th birthday. He had them when he was in ninth grade and ninth graders are usually 14 to 15 years old. Now, I've done some googling (lord I hope the government doesn't have me on a list) and the number 13 is an important number for an Aryan prison gang down in Texas. It's the second largest white supremacist gang in the state of Texas and one of the largest gangs in the United States.

Now, stay with me here, (I'm not going into any more of THAT because I am not interested in it at all but I thought it was interesting in regards to Terry) anyway... Terry worked for the Sinaloa Cartel for a year and I've seen articles stating that it's not unusual for a Mexican Cartel and a large white supremacist group to work together for mutual gain. So, in theory, it would make sense that Terry probably has associates in the Texas Aryan Brotherhood.

Now, saying all that... he would also adopt some of their symbols. Such as thirteen. I believe that Terry made his children get the knuckle tattoos on their 13th birthday as a disgusting right of passage.

And Mickey got the worst of it. FUCK-U-UP on your knuckles obviously comes off as a threat. Like, "hey buddy, guess what these hands do? Yep, fuck you up."

But I feel, deep in my bones, that not only are those letters a threat to anyone that finds themselves on the other end of said knuckles, they are also a threat TO Mickey.

I definitely believe Mickey adored his mother and often helped her with "women things" cooking, cleaning, things Terry didn't want his son to enjoy. So, he chose the the words FUCK-U-UP in an attempt to always have the upper hand on Mickey. A constant reminder that Terry himself, would indeed fuck Mickey up if he got to soft.

For who did it? Probably some guy who was actually a professional but scared shit less of Terry so he did it for free.

Before Ian gets a tattoo for Mickey, he does "research" on Pinterest for months (yes, Ian 100% has a Pinterest board for gardening and other "domestic shit" as Mickey so loving likes to call it) he finally decides on a heart made with Mickey and his fingerprints. And underneath: I + M

He gets it on Valentines Day, the soft bitch.

3. Random turn on for Mickey: When Ian is talking to his plants. He read, on Pinterest, that talking is beneficial to plants. Something about vibrations and blah blah blah but damn it... when Mickey hears Ian tell the tomatoes they look delicious or whisper to the lillies that they're his favorite?? Mickey can't help but grab his husband, push him up against the wall, and fucking devour him. Cute ass motherfucker.

Random turn on for Ian: Mickey has picked up playing sudoku on his phone, and sometimes in a giant book he stole from a client's waiting room. And the concentration on Mickey's face as he figures put what number goes where... it just fucking does something to Ian. He absent-mindly sticks his tongue out, slowly licking at the corner of his mouth and Ian practically loses his fucking mind. It's worse when the book comes out. Mickey chews on that stupid pencil, leaving indents in the soft wood, making Ian wish he were a fucking number 2 pencil. It's embarrassing and Mickey won't let him live it down.

4. Mickey only has an Instagram to stay in touch with his sister and a select few cousins who he gets along with. He says it's stupid and he can't explain how his profile ends up "hearting" Ian's pictures when Ian's out with Lip. Conspiracy, if you ask him.

Mickey's Instagram: @dontfollowme

Ian's instagram: @IanG

They started following each other when Ian got into Mickey's phone and did it himself

5. Okay, I'm going against this assignment and saying: both.

On their second anniversary, Ian went out and rescued a pit bull for Mickey. It was a female red nose pitbull (of course). They named her: Bonnie.

On the same day, Mickey ran into a group of juvenile delinquents who were entertaining themselves with scaring the crap out of a small black kitten. It was mewing pathetically and it's left eye was all gunked up. Mickey told the kids to get lost before scooping up the kitten and taking it home. They named him: Clyde.

Clyde prefers Mickey. Bonnie prefers Ian. Mickey calls it Stockholm Syndrome. Ian calls it love.

#i love questions like these #blessed to find them in my inbox #sorry it's kinda late #life has no pause button #gallacats #gallavich headcanon #anon xx

Spoilers for this week’s episode of Stargirl!

Well then. You won't want to read this review before watching the episode, so it's behind a cut just in case.

Everything's coming up roses for the Crocks, and their lives are going great. They're happy, integrating into the community, and starting to feel like they belong. They feel protective of the Whitmores and are not happy about the Mahkents' actions last episode, but note that they don't solve their problems with violence anymore, and Paula defends Barbara from Lily Mahkent's attempt on her life by calmly threatening but not actually killing her. Later, the Crocks go to the Mahkents' house and speak to them as friends of their son, saying that violence only breeds more feuds and asking them to make peace with the Whitmores/JSA for the sake of the community and Cameron. Sofus agrees, and Lily is clearly thinking about it even if not necessarily on board, and she later sobs with Sofus about missing Jordan.

So as you can see, the Crocks have taken the example of their friends to heart, and they've changed. Nobody had asked them to speak to the Mahkents, much less with a message of peace, and even though they're clearly willing to protect their friends, they didn't go after their foes with aggression. Then they get the great news that Artemis has been accepted into the university of her choice, which of course thrills them; whatever you may say about them throughout the course of this series, they've always been supportive loving parents. And then someone lures them into the sewers and they go down there despite knowing something's hinky, and they get frozen by Jordan Mahkent, their former colleague Icicle Sr. They die together saying they love each other, and Jordan smashes them into pieces. Fuuuuuuuck, I knew they were going to get killed when they got the good news from Artemis, but was really hoping it wouldn't happen.

Maybe Jordan's working with the Ultra-Humanite, and maybe he's not. I'd think they must be working together, and the episode hints at different times that the Ultra-Humanite is the Gambler's killer (has super-strength and has gone by many names) or that the killer is Jordan (creepy dude hiding in the sewers with all those video monitors, and has breathing problems). I'd been wondering since second season whether Jordan would ever reconstitute himself like Iceman does at Marvel, and then last week decided that wasn't likely since the show is cancelled and the Ultra-Humanite was revealed as a major villain. Well played.

Interestingly, Sylvester's good advice regarding the Ultra-Humanite suggests that if there is a connection between the two of them, he doesn't seem to be aware of it. It's very possible the U-H is manipulating him from a distance, but maybe this has all been a red herring the whole time and Sylvester's just a screw-up. Guess we'll see. I like that he and Pat immediately knew who Jakeem and Mike were talking about rather than drawing it out as a big mystery, and the revelation clearly disturbed them. And I like that the show is going with the whole bonkers comic backstory of the U-H instead of dumbing it down or seeming embarrassed about it.

Mike and Jakeem do find Cindy, and it turns out that she's trying to capture the Ultra-Humanite since he was an experiment of her father's. She's not interested in their help though, and tells them to go back to town.

And Courtney talks to Cameron, who's less unreasonable than expected but is clearly still hurting a lot. His grandmother Lily had told him to kill Courtney earlier, but he doesn't seem to want to. He demands to know who killed his dad, and Courtney lies to protect Mike and says she did it. Cameron tells her he never wants to see her again, which really is quite reasonable given the circumstances. He does acknowledge that his father wasn't completely noble, which is unexpected, but doesn't believe Jordan was a villain and probably wouldn't believe her if she told him what he'd actually been up to.

Sofus is out of the hospital after his heart attack but still not well, and Cameron realizes that Beth had helped and that's probably why he doesn't completely turn on the JSA. Pat and Sylvester go talk to Sofus when he's home alone, and he's somewhat conciliatory but defensive about what his family has done. The Mahkents did face persecution for their ice powers in Norway, and it's made them insular, suspicious, and protective of each other…plus, he's upset about the killing of Jordan even if he's not the hardass Lily is. I find him the most interesting member of the family because of his ambiguity.

So the Crocks' ending is horribly sad, but at least they'd learned to do the right thing before they died. That'll be no comfort to poor Artemis, though, who really has been through a lot over the past couple of years. I'm worried that she may never know what happened to her parents unless Jordan brags about what he's done. I'll miss Paula's blooming friendship with Barbara and how protective Paula was of her friend, and hope that Artemis doesn't end up too embittered by this tragedy to realize her football dreams or work with the JSA.

Great episode, and definitely has me wondering where it'll go next. We need answers about how the Ultra-Humanite might be currently connected to the other characters, and what exactly his plan is. Jordan's probably after revenge, but he might have other things in mind too, and it'll be interesting to see how his family members react to his return and whatever he's up to. Cameron might finally turn against him if he gets a whiff of how cruel Jordan can be, and he won't be happy about his art teacher's murder if he ever learns about that. So there's still plenty of tension brewing and ready to boil over.

i'm probably naïve and don't have an expanded imagination but i really don't want to see claudia in a relationship with a woman in her 30s.

i'm fine with claudia being a tragic character that never finds happiness as she would like it than to deal with a 30-year-old white woman actively romancing a black girl in a 14-year-old body

they can show claudia pining and being miserable like they did with the which one of you is gonna fuck me in sn 1 but maintain the adults being like, nope

they've shown they can deal with the incestuous themes of anne's work without incest so i'm hopeful

well u dont have to down urself lol its nothing wrong w/ having a clear boundary when it comes to what u can tolerate seeing in a fictional narrative lol. im teflon don in rl so irdc bout fiction i will say i personally found rice’s racism which extended to her real life to be most irredemable than anything else & relatively understated in criticisms of her compared to ppls criticism of psychosexual / incestuous themes. i found she was at the very least aware of how they operate n willing to tackle the insanity caused as a result of these power imbalances [?] n what the result of such dynamics being the foundation for characters subsequent interactions n relationships better, now contrast to her upholding racialist beliefs & dynamics in her work n supporting racist actions of paula deen n such rl n also setting the groundwork for the glorification of the antebellum south in ~gothic horror~. like cmon anne the metaphor [& the historical reality] of the european investor in slavery creating the american slaveowner who feast on& r parasites to the slave in labor n flesh was right there n neither rice nor “transformative” fanon afaik was ever interested in exploring that, rather they both treated that like the good ole nuclear family days . butt im sorry for going off topic my friend im pretty sure these writers have a plan in mind for how theyll show claudia’s&madeline’s dynamic and all my mindless speculation will be pointless lol.

I have such bad acne like my pores are sooo bad and my skin is sorta sensitive. I have a bunch of pimples ughfhdhs do you have any skincare recommendations kiki

so sorry to hear bby :(

a lot of the time when u have acne, ur natural instinct is to dry it out. BUT !!!! sometimes you have acne because your moisture barrier is all out of wack.

since you have sensitive skin, i would do like a real simple routine. probably just cleanse, moisturize, and sunscreen. maybe exfoliate once or twice a week.

also, u could double cleansing at night w an oil cleanser first, could help clear out ur pores!!

i use the blab matcha cleanser, its hydrating and gentle n p cheap!! the paula's choice liquid exfoliator is great!! kinda pricey but ur only supposed to use it once or twice a week so it lasts foreverrrrr (bottles tells u to use everyday, PLS DO NOT DO THIS U WILL DAMAGE UR SKIN)). kose softymo oil cleanser is good for a double cleanse !!

also sometimes acne just comes due to hormone changes n stuff, and it can just be a waiting game :( but i hope u don't let this affect ur confidence bc acne is so normal!!

including this pic of our koo w acne bc its kinda comforting to see ppl u consider beautiful w acne :) <3

I remember going home when I was in middle school, grabbing a snack and then settling down to watch TRL to see what the top videos were for that day. I was a big Backstreet Boy fan so I always cheered for them to be on the list and hoped they were number one. But I loved watching the music videos and I also loved Pop-Up video, where they would put facts either about the song, the video or just some fun trivia (like popping up a fact about how most people in Africa are Muslim so they don't celebrate Christmas during the video for "Do They Know It's Christmas?").

So I was pretty excited for this theme night.

Paula Abdul joined the panel to judge the remaining stars as they danced routines inspired by some iconic music videos. They were tasked to incorporate the dance moves from the videos while remaining true to the dance style assigned to them. And then in the second round, we had the team dances.

Who is still standing after Music Video Night and who had to say Bye, Bye, Bye? Find out!

Lele and Brandon: Lele had a great night and Brandon was right that she didn't deserve to go home. It looks like the judges agreed - I caught Derek mouthing "Wow" after her elimination and then he and a concerned-looking Bruno had a pow-wow. She was assigned to dance to Shakira's "Whenever, Wherever" and rose to the challenge, letting her hips do the talking. Yes, she her lifts were a little clunky but everything else was amazing. She should've made it further but I'm glad she made as far as she did. We'll miss you, Lele.

Ariana and Pasha: This is likely to become another iconic routine. Ariana really channeled Britney for her cha-cha to "I'm a Slave 4 U" and I think incorporated the classic moves best into her cha-cha. She really did nail the middle where she led the pros in the routine from the video. Everyone was absolutely on point and Ariana looked like a pro herself. No wonder she topped the leaderboard and earned immunity from the dance off next time!

Xochitl and Val: Xochitl talked about directing a music video for a friend and how it was a great experience. She and Val then did a jazz routine to Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" and she handled it well until she had a little malfunction with her costume. She struggled to put on the replica of Stefani's band coat and her hat fell off. But she seemed to recover nicely to finish the routine, though the stumble did cost her some points with the judges.

Charity and Artem: I was a bit surprised Charity ended up in the bottom three but I think it might be the jolt she needs. The judges gave her some good critiques for her jazz routine to Janet Jackson's "All for You" but I don't know if she can achieve the one thing she needs to really elevate her performances - have an emotional connection rather than just focusing on being technically perfect. All the female pros spent time with her and had a brunch with her but I don't know if it's something you can teach. Paula talked about how Janet Jackson tapped into her inner power and channeled that, which is what Charity needs to do. I just don't know if she can.

Jason and Daniella: I don't know why Derek thought Jason's routine was more of a Week 1 or 2 dance. I thought it was great. One of the judges noted it was a proper jazz routine and I thought it felt like something that would be performed on Broadway. Jason and Daniella really captured the feel of "Take On Me" and still made it feel fresh and new. I think they should've been higher.

Alyson and Sasha: I think Charity needs to learn from Alyson. While Alyson isn't the most technical dancer, there is something about her ability to connect with the music that elevates them. I could tell she was having fun with her quickstep to Christina Aguilera's "Candyman" and she let that give her energy to tackle the dance. And it shone through in her performance, drawing people in. That's what Charity needs to tap into and channel to elevate her performances.

Barry and Peta: Barry's reaction to seeing Bruno in the video for Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" was priceless. I loved it. He also had a lot of fun with his quickstep, much like Peta. There were times where it didn't feel very "quick" but I'm not sure if that was due to the music or Barry. Because when he did step it up, he handled it well and made the routine shine. Either way, it was pretty fun to watch - especially when he got to shower Bruno with some glitter.

Harry and Rylee: Harry and Rylee were assigned to dance a jazz routine to NSYNC's "It's Gonna Be Me" so Lance Bass stopped by to give Harry some tips and to help with the choreography. During the routine, Harry was strongest when dancing the video choreography with Gleb and Alan but didn't carry that confidence over when he was dancing with Rylee. There's more to say about Harry but I'll wait for the team dances.

Now it's time for the team dances! Harry and Alyson were appointed the team captains. Harry chose Lele, Xochitl and Charity for his team and they were assigned Gangnam Style as their song. So they chose to name themselves Team Young 'N Style since everyone on the team were younger members of the competition. Meanwhile, Alyson's team included Jason, Ariana and Barry and they were assigned "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" for their song. So they decided to call themselves Team 4 Everybody.

Team Young 'N Style: This was a fun routine to watch. Everyone was in sync and rose to the challenge. I believe Lele and Brandon had the strongest solo portion and it just highlighted how much of a shame it was that they were eliminated. Derek noted afterwards that Harry is better in a group than solo and I have to agree. He was strongest when everyone danced together but was weak in his solo portion. Unfortunately, I don't think he and Rylee can just dance in a group until the end of the competition so he needs to figure out how to bring that to his solo routines.

Team 4 Everybody: It was another fun routine though maybe not as tight as Team Young 'N Style's. Jason, Alyson and Ariana had strong solo sections while Barry's was the weakest. But they clearly had a lot of fun together and I think Alyson really stepped up as the team captain. I also loved the end where they all switched partners and danced in same sex couples. And I loved how much of a Backstreet fan Ariana is that she nearly collapsed in tears when AJ McLean walked into the room to give them some pointers in rehearsal. Same, Ariana, same.

And Music Video Night is in the books. I wonder after a string of unexpected eliminations - Mira, Mauricio and now Lele - if the producers are considering bringing back the judges' save. Or maybe we'll go the entire season without it. Right now, I feel I could only understand Alyson possibly winning it all as she has been the most improved dancer in my opinion. But I guess we'll see what happens next time.

Speaking of next time, Billy Porter will be the guest judge as the remaining couples dance to the music of the one and only Whitney Huston. Can't wait to share my thoughts on those performances as well as the dance off!

See you then!
