#WE'RE CAUGHT UP NOW ty for keeping up with them if you've been here for the big oc queue <3

[justwearthegoddamncardigan]

Hello:)

so I was looking thru ur pinned post and saw that u wrote for Harry Potter and was wondering if you would do a fic for George Weasley? ( fem reader pls) but basically, I was just kind of thinking of an introverted Gryffindor who loves books and George meets them and they both (very obvious to others) have a crush on each other? Maybe George just asks them for book recs even tho he had no interest in reading before just so he can find a way to talk to the reader? I know you have a lot of fics in the making so take ur time please<3

A HP REQUEST?? This is amazing I'm so excited to be branching out from maze runner again, and I absolutely love this request it's super cute ❤❤. Ty for being so kind and sweet as well :)

Umm :D So I wrote the above ^^^ response as soon as the request came in and now... IT'S BEEN TWO MONTHS IM SO SORRY ANON!! Hope you're still out there to read 😭

It's a love story

George Weasley x fem!reader

I am not British *thumbs up in australian* so prepare either for out-of-place non-british dialogue or cringe attempts to fit into the universe. idk which one it's gonna be so I guess we'll find out

3.1k words

Warnings: language (swearing)

You turn the corner and register a flash of red hair before colliding hard with a body.

"Shit!"

You groan as you sit up, staring around to see your books have been knocked out of your arms and onto the floor.

"Fuck, sorry, listen I've gotta-"

"Weasley!"

You turn in surprise as Filch marches down the corridor, fist raised with an expression of rage on his face.

"Shit," you whisper.

"Yeah," says the person who knocked you over, who you've now found is none other than George Weasley. Of course, the guy you've kinda sorta maybe liked for years is only talking to you after literally bowling you over.

"Here." He points his wand and charms all your books into little palm-sized rectangles, before gathering them up and stuffing them in his pockets. "We've gotta go."

"Where?" you stare around the empty corridor, unable to find a decent hiding spot.

"Follow me." George leads you over to a dusty-looking tapestry and ducks behind it.

"What the-"

"Come on!" he reaches out and grabs your hand, tugging you in.

You stumble through the gap between the tapestry and the wall, practically falling into George's chest.

"Sorry," you mutter, and you're glad it's dark because you can feel your face blushing like crazy.

"I know you're 'round 'ere, Weasley," you hear Filch snarl from outside.

You hear him muttering to himself as his footsteps eventually recede, and you let out a breath. "He's gone."

You turn to push through the tapestry to get out, only to be met with a thin slab of solid stone. "What-"

George winces. "Yeah, once you get in here it closes for about half an hour."

"Half an hour?" you repeat incredulously.

You can barely see his nod in the dark. "I mean, one of them closes for two hours once you get in, so half isn't too bad."

There's beat of silence, before, "Lumos."

The tip of George's wand lights up, illuminating the small space. "Oh, it's you," he says, seemingly on instinct the moment the light appears.

"Pardon?"

He seems to catch himself, shaking his head. "Nevermind, just- Here, sit down."

You sit down on the floor with your legs crossed, heart skipping a beat as your knee brushes against his in the cramped space.

"We're in the same Transfiguration class, aren't we?" asks George.

"I- yeah." You're pleasantly surprised by that. You tend to be pretty quiet in class, mostly keeping to yourself.

"You're always the first person to get a new transfiguration successfully. Bird to glass on the first try, right?"

"I- yeah," you say, warming at the recognition of the hard work you've always put into Transfiguration.

He nods. "Took me the whole lesson to get that one right. Hey, I never caught your name in class?"

"It's L/n," you say. "Y/n L/n."

"Good to meet ya, Y/n," he grins. "I'm George."

"I know," you can't help but say, smiling slightly.

"Oh, your books." George empties his pockets of your miniaturised books. "Engorgio." He waves his wand over them, changing them back to their normal size.

"Thanks," you say, pulling them towards you and stacking them up.

"You read a lot?"

You smile to yourself, picturing the dozens of books you go through in a term. "Just a bit."

"Sure," says George, eyeing the four novels sitting in front of you now.

Before long, you reach out and push against the tapestry, finding it to be cloth again instead of stone.

"Time to go?" George stands and pushes through, and you follow him into the corridor.

"Finally," you say, stretching before grabbing your books.

"Sorry about earlier," says George with a sheepish smile. "And for trapping you for half an hour."

You shake your head. "It's okay."

He grins at you. "Alright then, see you 'round Y/n."

You stand still, rooted to the ground as he leaves, waving behind him, and something in you clicks. Oh shit.

⭒----⭒

Any thoughts about George a put aside for the night when you settle down with your book.

The common room late at night is your happy place. Most people are sleeping in the dorms, save for a couple 6th years finishing their assignments.

You tune out their little whisperings as you sit beside the crackling fire, and you can just pretend you're alone in the common room, getting lost in your book.

Before long, you're actually alone, with the remaining people all retreating to their dorms - except for one that you haven't noticed.

George is sitting across the room, barely paying attention to the essay he's meant to be editing. Every so often, he glances up at you without you noticing.

After years of sharing the same Transfig class, something about you has piqued George's interest, though he's always tried to mark it down as pure curiosity.

He can't believe it's taken literally knocking you to the ground to get your attention, and he doesn't understand how he hadn't properly met you before earlier that day. But now, he can't seem to resist the strange pull you have on him.

Get yourself together, you've only met once, idiot. George frowns as he silently berates himself, but he can't help but watch as you repeatedly flick away a strand of hair that keeps falling into your eyes.

Fuck it. Go talk to her.

George stands abruptly, nearly knocking over a goblet in the process.

You, the oblivious centre of all his thoughts for the past few hours, are still just sitting beside the fire, reading your book.

"Hey."

You jerk slightly in surprise, grabbing your book as it starts sliding out of your lap.

"Um, hi. What's up?" you manage to say coolly.

George blanks. He hadn't exactly come in with a plan. He glances down at the assignment he'd been working on; good enough. "Did you finish that work Flitwick gave us?"

"I haven't yet," you say slowly, slightly confused as to why he's here. "I've just gotta write a conclusion and edit the rest."

"I haven't got a clue how to write the damn conclusion," says George, flopping down beside you and complaining about the rigid essay structure.

You realise as he's talking that it's strangely intimate. Earlier, you'd been sitting on the floor with your back leaning on a couch and your knees up, braced against the coffee table.

Now, you're both wedged between said couch and table, and despite the generous space between the two of you, you feel oddly close to him.

"Can I read yours?" he asks, pointing to where your assignment has been sitting since you gave up and decided to just read your book.

"Sure," you say, sliding it to him.

He leans against the couch as he skims your work, fingers tapping absent-mindedly.

"God you write like a professor, Y/n," comments George. "...the fuck are all these words- incandescence?"

"I... read a little," you say with a little smile, cheeks warming at the way your name sounds in his mouth.

He glances up at you. "This is brilliant. So you've just got the conclusion to do?"

You nod, taking back the assignment as he pushes it to you.

You end up staying up way longer than you'd intended, talking to George as the conversation topic quickly strays away from any Charms essays.

By the time you go to your dorms, you haven't even finished your conclusion.

⭒----⭒

"Mate, you're not nearly as subtle as you think you are," says Fred, elbowing his brother.

George elbows him right back. "What're you on about?"

"The staring," says Fred, grin teasing. "It's getting embarrassing. If whatever little crush you've now got starts affecting my reputation, we're gonna have to have a chat about this twin thing."

George rolls his eyes. "Git."

"So..." Fred drags out the word. "Who is it then?"

He jerks his chin towards the group of girls on the other side of the Gryffindor breakfast table, where George had been conspicuously staring at you all morning.

"The one on the left - Y/L/N, she's in our Transfig class."

"Oh!" says Fred, eyes lighting up in understanding. "Oh she's great, I did a project with her once. Quiet type, bookish. Fun, though. Pretty, too," he adds, raising an eyebrow at George.

"Shut it," retorts George. "What should I do then?"

"I don't fuckin' know Georgie, just go talk to her. Ask for book recommendations or something."

"That's... actually a decent idea."

" 'course it is," says Fred. "Anything to get you guys together as fast as possible so I don't have to deal with your lovesick horsecrap."

⭒----⭒

A Quidditch game has just finished (Gryffindor victory, of course), and you're avoiding the inevitable party in the common room. You can enjoy parties on a good day, but you're just not feeling it right now.

So you're in the library, wandering around as you wait for dinner.

"Y/n!" You turn to see George doing a weird half-run toward you, not wanting to be yelled at for running in the library.

"Oh, George. Hey."

"I figured you'd be in here," he says.

"You figured...?"

"Well," he raises an eyebrow at you. "Since you read a little."

You huff out a soft laugh, shaking your head. "So why were you looking for me?"

You try to listen as he speaks, but you're immediately distracted by just about everything about him.

His cheeks are flushed red, probably cause he just transitioned from the cold outside to the heated library, and his hair is windswept and slightly wet from melted snowflakes.

He's gotten rid of his Quidditch gear, but it's strange to see him in just the casual clothes students usually wear in the dorms and common room again.

And he's still speaking. Pay attention, Y/n.

"Anyways, I just wanted to find you, cause you know, hobbies... and literature, are really... important. And the Christmas holidays are coming up. So I just wanted to ask if you had any recommendations."

You frown slightly as you remember it's only the start of November, and he barrels on, almost seeming nervous.

"For books, I mean. To read, over the holidays. I don't, uh- come in here very often, so I don't know what's good. You seemed like a good person to ask." He scrubs a hand over the back of his neck as he speaks, giving you a hopeful smile.

"I am," you say with a smirk. You straighten up confidently, banishing any nervousness because books; books you can do.

"Great," says George. "What've you got for me, Y/L/N?"

"Well what kind of books do you like?"

His grin falters. "Um-"

"Fiction, non-fiction, stories, biographies?"

"...stories?"

"Sure." You navigate to another aisle, moving into the more fiction-y section. "Action, ooh- historical, adventure, romance?" You lift an eyebrow at the last one.

"I-" He clears his throat, and you smile slightly to yourself. "Action is good, I think," he says uncertainly.

You scan the shelf currently at your eye level, before picking out a book. "I love this one," you tell him. "Pretty fast paced, which might be good for you. Also, dragons."

"Dragons," he repeats. "Great."

"How many books are you looking for?" you ask.

"Just one, I think. I wanna... get into reading, before the holidays start."

"Sure," you say, holding the book out to him.

It's like sun breaking through, when he smiles in return. "Do you think we could meet up?" he begins. "To talk about the book once I've read it?"

"Yeah, I'd like that," you smile. "And you have to tell me what you like, so I can recommend you the next one."

"Excellent."

⭒----⭒

Ever since giving George that first book you've started seeing him almost every day.

The two of you can be found huddled together in the little nooks around the library, or behind the greenhouses, or down by the lake, talking about books and school and everything in between.

But soon the holidays arrive, and you're saying goodbye to him and the rest of your friends.

Your parents are being forced to travel a lot over Christmas for work, so the first month of the holiday flies by in a whirlwind of tea in the morning with the few remaining students in Hogwarts, long peaceful walks on the grounds, and lots and lots of reading.

You've devoured a row of books in the library by the time Christmas has passed, and you've planned to go through another row, when George materialises in the common room one day, two weeks after Christmas.

"George?" you exclaim, spotting him in the common room.

He turns as he hears your voice, and his face splits into a wide grin. Without hesitation, he runs up to you and pulls you into a hug, lifting you just slightly above the floor.

Your heart swells as his laughter rings in the air, and suddenly everything is complete.

"I missed you so much," you tell him, almost surprised at your own admission. Truth is, Hogwarts is beautiful during Christmas, but it's a little lonely with everyone else having gone home.

George's responding smile is worth the wait though, and he tosses an arm around your shoulder as he leads you out of the common room.

"C'mon, it's a Hogsmeade day. No time to waste!"

⭒----⭒

The two of you settle down at a table in the Three Broomsticks, grabbing Butterbeers as you go.

"Alright then, Weasley. Did you get through the holiday book I got you?"

He smiles. "I did. And you know what I was thinking when I read it?"

"What?"

"Y/n would hate Chaolie, and she'd love Alosia."

You blink in surprise. "I- yeah, those are my exact thoughts on the book."

George smirks. "See? I know you."

"I mean yeah, I loved every chapter Alosia was in; she's my favourite. Typical, I know, everyone likes the side characters, but god, Allo would've been so much better as a main character than fucking Chaolie. G.T.L. is brilliant- we know that, she fits insane arcs and storylines into a single book, but please,-"

George listens, a small smile playing at the corner of his mouth, as you continue rambling animatedly about the book, your hands gesturing enthusiastically as you speak.

"And the cover: gorgeous. You know stories like this can have the silliest cover art if they're not done well, and the choice to go almost muggle-style with a non-moving cover is perfect."

You brush a stray piece of hair away from your face, oblivious to the way George tracks the movement, desperately wanting to reach out and tuck it behind your ear for you.

The bell on the door chimes and you look over George's shoulder to see a bunch of familiar redheads walking in.

"Ah, Y/n," says Fred, floating towards your table. "Lovely to finally see you again after having to hear so much about you over Christmas."

You giggle as George thumps his brother with his book, face turning almost as red as his hair. "Stupid- git."

"This is the Y/n?" says Ron, another one of George's brothers.

His sister joins in too. "Ah, so you're the reason we had to come back early."

"Early?" you repeat, confused.

"Enough," snaps George. "Piss off, all of you," he says, fruitlessly shoving his siblings away from your table.

He groans. "Come on Y/n, we're leaving." He tugs on your hand, and you snort as his family's antics as you down the last sip of Butterbeer and hop off your seat.

"Until we meet again, Y/n." Fred salutes you as you exit, and you laugh as you wave to the rest of the Weasleys.

"Sorry about them," says George, slightly pink in the cheeks.

"Don't worry," you laugh. "It's fine. But what did Ginny mean when- hey!"

You're cut off as George yanks off his scarf and starts wrapping it around your neck and face. "...It's cold out," he explains weakly as you give him a look.

You pin him down with your gaze, and he sighs. "Fine."

He grabs your hand and leads you away from the Three Broomsticks, brushing snow off a park bench before sitting down.

Every memory he's had with you, every moment he's spent falling for you, flashes through his head.

The shy smile you had in your first few days of meeting, which he could only describe as cute, the mischievous glint in your eye when you'd almost recommended him a romance book, your laugh that he's memorised the sound of... damn it, he better not fuck this up.

You sit down beside him, giving him a concerned look.

"Okay, here it is," he says abruptly. "I like you."

You blink, caught off guard.

"You're so- you're bright," he says. "There's this light in you, and it's so fucking bright, and people don't see it. I don't get that. But whatever, they don't matter. I just mean, I've been pretty much blinded by you since we met... well, since I knocked you over running from Filch. I- god, fuck this metaphor. The point is, every time I'm not with you, I'm just wishing that I was. Cause I like you, and I wish- I'd hoped, that maybe you like me back?"

You're still silent, your brain trying to catch up with what your ears are hearing.

But George takes the silence differently. "It- it's okay if you don't. You know, I don't want to pressure you, at all. It's completely-"

"George." You take his hand. "I like you too, so damn much. I was just... I've never done this before. I didn't know if I should ask you out, or confess, or anything."

George lets out an incredulous breath. "Oh. Well then."

He rests his forehead against yours. "Y/n, will you do me the great honour of becoming my girlfriend."

You're smiling so much it almost hurts. "I'd love to," you whisper.

⭒----⭒

It's only on your first date, that you realise; "You know, we've practically be dating this whole time."

"What do you mean?" asks George, digging into his icecream.

"Meeting up, just the two of us. We've been doing it for ages, except we thought it was just book meetings."

The spoon stills halfway to George's mouth. "...fuck."

You snort, "We're both idiots, aren't we."

"Could've saved me so much grief if I'd known we were already dating. It was well shit, overthinking everything over the holidays."

"You mean when you missed me so much you convinced your whole family to come back to school early?"

"Sod off," he replies, nudging your foot and grinning. "You thought it was cute, anyway."

"I did."

There's a beat, before; "Kissing," you say, pointing your spoon at him. "We weren't totally dating, cause we didn't kiss."

"Right," agrees George, nodding. "Speaking of..."

You let out a laugh, setting your icecream down on the table, and then you let him pull you in.

Silly details cause I can't help myself: Alosia is a music project by dodie, Chaolie is based on Chaol from tog (sorry), and GTL is the fictional author from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. Thank you for tolerating my self-indulgent easter eggs.

Thank you for reading, everyone! Hope you enjoyed my first fic in the HP universe <3

Spain, 1660

J POV

"Marie hurry", I urge her

"I am, princess. I just do not know what you want to take"

"Anything that can be sold for money. The biggest jewels that will fetch much money. And three of your dresses. One pair of boots. Hair brush. Nothing else", I answer, stuffing the pants and shirts she was able to get into a traveling bag

I cannot take many things with me

But I do not need them

I just need him

Marie runs out of my room into her adjoining one, then comes back with dresses

All I stuff into the bag along with everything else I've asked for

Tying the bag, I turn to Marie

"Help me change"

She helps me out of the ridiculous gown I'm forced into everyday and into a plain maid's dress and plain boots

Undoing my hair front the braided hairstyle it always is in, I shake my head, letting the long black strands fall down my back

It's so freeing to be out of that dress

And in a short time, I'll be free and with him

Cautiously I stick my head out of my room

No one in the halls

Picking up the bag, I swing it over my shoulder and slip out of my room, Marie following with her own bag

She is escaping with me to avoid being punished for helping me

We will separate in the wood where a cart is waiting to take her far away

Staying against the wall, we creep along the hallway, eyes watching for any guards or worse my father

The king of Spain

I do not want to get caught

He is only able to come onto land for tonight and I promised I would meet him

I promised I would go with him and he will take me away so we can be together

We clear my apartments and head for the kitchen

There is a door out of the castle that no one guards

Because no one cares where servants or maids go

We get to the right hallway and I see the kitchen door at the end of the hall

Making a beeline to it, I practically run

"Where are you going?", a voice asks

Cold fear and dread pour down my body

No

I cannot stop here

I am so close

"Do not turn around", Marie whispers to me

"I am showing the new maid where the kitchen is and where to put soiled clothes for washing", I hear Marie say

Thank god for her because I would of just kept running and most likely gotten caught

But Marie is a fast thinker, quick on her feet and a smooth talker

I am not

I am headstrong, defiant and argumentive

All traits my father deplores

All traits he saw in me and loves

I wait in anticipation to do something

Whether it is run or fight

"Alright. Carry on then", the guard says and I hear footsteps walking away

"Now", Marie whispers a few seconds later

Walking quickly to the kitchens, I go in and head directly for the door to the outside

To freedom

Throwing that door open, we pass the threshold, into the back of the castle

Where the gardens are

Where the woods leads to town then to the beach

Where there are no gates

Once at the forest's edge, I take off into it, Marie running by my side

And I do not look back

Not even once

🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

Hongjoong POV

"This isn't a good idea", Seonghwa mutters, pacing behind me

I roll my eyes

Of course it's not a good idea

But I don't really care about that

I care about her

"What if we get caught?"

"For the love of- Seonghwa cut it out", I snap

"We're exposed out here captain! There is no coverage to hide. Anyone can see us"

I hold in my temper because I am going to snap if he keeps whining

He is a good quartermaster but he can be annoying at times

"We will be fine", I answer, staring across the beach

"How much longer do we have to stay here?"

"She's coming", I say

"You don't know that! It's been a year since you've seen her. And who knows if she received the letter you sent."

"She got it. She's coming", I insist

She will

We talked about this last time I was able to be with her

I promised, swore, I would come back and take her with me

And I will

Seonghwa sighs, "And if she doesn't?"

"Then I'm going to go get her"

"You are not even allowed to be in this kingdom! Even the ship being in these waters is risk enough let alone you being on the beach! If anyone finds you the king will hang you"

"I know", I answer

I am aware of the risk I am taking

After the king found me with her last time, I escaped and he put a bounty on my head, exiling me from ever stepping foot in his kingdom

I am to be either killed on sight by a guard or brought in if a commoner sees me

I know I am risking death

But she is worth it

"Captain-"

"If you are scared then go back to the ship and send Mingi"

Seonghwa huffs, "I am not afraid"

I sigh, "Then be quiet"

She is taking long but I know she's coming

I know it

I feel it

My princess

I first saw her when I was arrested for theft and raiding her kingdom

I was brought before the king but I didn't hear a word he said

My eyes were on her

I'd never seen a girl more beautiful than her and I have sailed and raided many places

The moment my eyes landed on her I knew

She's mine

My one

I saw her eyes widen when she saw me, hoping she thought I was good looking

I knew it was almost impossible for me to ever be with her

She's a princess, I'm a pirate and a criminal

But I was still going to try

After my crew helped me escape prison, one of them, Wooyoung, dressed up as a guard

He was able to get a message to the princess, asking her to meet in a place by the beach

At night so I wouldn't be seen

I doubted she'd come but she did with the help of her maid, Marie

She was sarcastic and snooty at first but then I started speaking to her

Telling her I'd like to get to know her, if she's willing to lower herself to know a pirate

I think that did something, changed her mind or something because she told me that she doesn't care if I'm a pirate, she only cares if I'm a good person

Which was iffy with my reputation

Still we talked all night and we got along so well

We'd meet every night for two months, spending time together, talking and walking along the beach, her hand in mine

And I fell head over heels in love

After two months, I told her I love her and was dumbfounded when she told me she loves me too

We were together that night for the first time and every night after for a month until we were caught and I was forced to leave, promising to come back for her

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

"She's not coming", Seonghwa says after awhile longer

"She will", I insist

I will wait however long I need to

I am not giving up

Pacing in the sand, I debate on whether to wait more or go find her

"Joongie!", I hear, my head snapping up

She's running towards me as fast as she can

"She's here", I breathe and take off towards her

She drops the bag she's holding and we crash into each other, her lips against mine as I pick her up, holding her tightly in my arms

I'm drowning in her kiss and I wouldn't have it any other way

She pulls back, looking at me

"You're here", she whispers, touching my cheek, smiling softly

"I'm here jagi. I told you I'd come for you", I say softly

She nods, pressing her lips against mine

Heaven

I'm in heaven

"I love you", she says making me so happy

She still loves me after all this time

She was telling the truth when she said she'd always love me

"I love you", I breathe, looking in her gorgeous eyes

She kisses me again, clinging on to me like I'm going to leave

I'm never leaving her again

Never

"Hongjoong!", Seonghwa whisper yells, "We have to go!"

I roll my eyes

He's such a worry wart

"Ready jagi?"

She nods

I put her down and she goes to get her bag

Then she takes my hand and we get in the row boat

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

"So this is the princess?", Yunho smiles when we board the ship

"Yes", I answer

"Hi. I'm Yunho", he introduces himself

"Joanne", she says, smiling

"She's who we're risking our lives for?", Wooyoung mutters

I shoot him a death glare

"Shut up", Yeosang whispers to him

Yes he should shut up

"Thank you for letting me on your ship", she tells them

She's so polite

It's extremely adoring

"Not a problem", San smiles

"Are you tired jagi?", I ask her

The crew is surrounding her and I don't want her to feel suffocated

She just left her home for me and she can get to know them tomorrow

"Yes Joongie. A little"

"Ok jagi"

Turning to Seonghwa and Yunho, I tell them, "Get us out of here. Set sail somewhere far away"

"Oh now he wants to leave", Seonghwa mutters

"Hwa!"

"Yes captain", Seonghwa answers

I nod, taking her hand and leading her to my cabin

🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

J POV

As soon as Hongjoong closes his cabin door, I turn him around and kiss him hard

I can't wait anymore

I've been without him for a year and I need him

I feel him smirking before he kisses me, his tongue in my mouth against mine

Pushing his jacket off, I start undoing the buttons on his shirt

Pulling away from his kiss, I look down so I can see what I'm doing and move faster

"Already jagi?", I hear him and I know he's smirking, "You didn't even give me the chance to ask how you are"

"Talk later", I answer, finally getting the shirt open and pushing it off his muscular body

He chuckles, "My princess wants me now?"

I look up at him, getting annoyed that he is not trying to get me out of my clothes

Dropping my hands to my side, I say, "If you do not want to just tell me instead of teasing-"

I don't get to finish as his mouth crashes to mine

His arms lift me up as he carries me, then slams me down on his bed, climbing on top of me

"If you think I don't want to be between your pretty legs, in your perfect tight wet cunt then you are sorely mistaken", he growls, his hands ripping my dress open

"Is that so, captain? You were not acting like it"

"My beautiful princess, I was just enjoying watching you take my clothes off. You haven't acted this way before. It's always me undressing you first."

I smirk at him, "Well if you enjoy it, I will do it more often"

"I do", he nods, "Now no more talking. Let's get this dress off you so I can eat your pretty cunt"

I nod, helping him take the dress off and ridding him of his pants

He kneels down on the floor, his hands opening my legs, his tongue buried in my pussy at once

"Hongjoong oh god!", I moan, finally feeling him after a year

I have thought about him doing this to me for so long

I have missed it

I have missed him so much

"Mmm fuck, I have missed you so much", he groans, his tongue licking and sucking everywhere, "I miss how you taste, how you feel in my mouth"

His words add to the enormous pleasure

He also tells me how good I am for him and I cannot get tired of hearing it

His lips move around my clit, sucking right away

I scream in pleasure, my hands burying in his long blond hair

I feel his hand move away from my thigh, his fingers sliding inside me

"Hongjoong! Oh my god!", I cry

"Yes my good princess. Let me hear you", he urges, his tongue rolling over my clit again and again, "I know you want to cum for me"

He moves his fingers, rubbing along my spot with every move

I never knew I could feel this good until Hongjoong

Until he asked me to let him show me and I did

I can never go back, wanting only him

I am not stupid, I know only he can make me feel this way

He is attentive to my pleasure, wanting to make me feel good all the time

His sucking intensifies, his fingers now slamming into me, sending shivers down my spine

"Hongjoong! Hongjoong!", I yell, pleasure crashing over me as I cum

Hongjoong does not stop anything he's doing, his movements helping me through my orgasm

His fingers slide out replaced by his tongue

"Oh god", I moan, his tongue moving in and out of me rapidly

"So good jagi", he groans, his eyes moving to mine as I watch him

I feel myself blush seeing how much he's enjoying himself, his tongue moving like he is never going to do this again

My body is thrown into bliss as his tongue moves in again and I clench on him, another orgasm hitting me hard

My god it's incredible

As soon as it's over, Hongjoong climbs on top of me, wrapping my legs around him, his huge thick cock pushing inside me

"Oh god", I cry, my back arching, pushing my body into his

"Yes jagi, open for me. Let me in", he urges, "I've been waiting so long to feel you around me again"

I know what he means

I have been waiting to feel him again, craving him

Not just sex either

I have been waiting to feel his kisses, feel his arms around me, feel his love

He moves in slowly, stretching me around his thickness, feeling so good, his moans arousing me more

"Jagi", he groans once he is all in and I clench around him involuntary, "So good for me. So wet, so tight, so warm. Perfect"

He is perfect

His face, his body, who he is

When I first saw him I thought he was a cocky pirate who killed, looted and fucked anything with legs

He proved me so wrong, actually courting me in his own way

Meeting at night, getting to know each other

Everything was at a slow pace

He was cautious with every move, gentle

Holding my hand, moving his arm around me, kisses on the cheek, making sure I was comfortable

Everything a pirate does not do with a woman

Our first kiss was not until a month after we met

And it was sweet and soft

He waited to have sex after he told me he loves me

And the first time, he was so gentle, knowing it was my very first time, making sure I was feeling good, I was not in pain

He is perfect and I do not care that he is a pirate

I do not care that I have to leave my home for him

I want to be with him and I will do what I have to to make that happen

I do not need dresses or jewels or titles

I need him

"You are perfect", I tell him, softly touching his face

He smiles, his fingers running in my hair, love in his gorgeous brown eyes

"No jagi, you are perfect. My perfect everything", he says softly

I smile at his words, always making me feel good, loved, wanted in every way

"Kiss me", I ask

"Always", he answers, pressing his lips against mine

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I fall into his kiss

🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

Hongjoong POV

I moan feeling her kiss

Her amazing kisses that I have been deprived from, that I have been wishing for so long

Her legs wrap around me, her pussy throbbing on my length

My god she feels amazing

Just like I remember

"Please Joongie, I need you", she whispers, spreading kisses along my jaw

I nod, pulling halfway out then thrusting back in

"Joongie", she cries as I get a quick pace going

Every move back inside her, she sucks me in, opening just enough to take me

Intense pleasure is running through me as I fuck into her and I fall into the pleasure

The next thrust, I hit her spot and she screams, shaking under me

I smirk before kissing her neck, concentrating on smashing into her spot

"Joongie oh god. More"

Oh I will give her more

And more and more

I missed her so much and I need her

Just her

"You don't know how hard it is to not have sex for a year", I tell her as I pound her wet cunt, "What it is like to think of you, become hard and horny and not have you"

She was all that was on my mind

And yes at times thoughts of the sex we had, thoughts of her gorgeous naked body filled my mind

Especially at night

I had no choice but to take care of it myself

"You did not sleep with any other women?", she asks

I immediately stop moving, looking down at her

"Absolutely not jagi. After you, I cannot look at another woman. Nothing appeals to me like it used to. No one compares to you.", I explain, "And I would never hurt you in that way. I love you too much"

She smiles, taking my breath away, "I love you Hongjoong"

I bend over, kissing her gently, loving the feel of her soft lips against mine

When we pull away, I hesitate in asking her what I want to

Her bringing up the possibility of me being with other women has brought up the thought if she was with another man

Logically it would not make sense as she is a princess and her father is very strict about virtue

I'd imagine moreso after she was caught with me

But then again she was with me before marriage so I cannot be sure

If she was with another man, it would devastate me

I love her more than my own life, I would do anything for her

"Jagi, have you-"

"Never. No Joongie. I do not ever want any other man but you touching me. It has not happened and it never will happen. I swear"

I let out a breath of relief I did not know I was holding

"I love you Hongjoong. Only you"

"I love you Joanne. Just you. I swear"

She nods, touching my cheek softly, "I know Joongie. I believe you"

I'm glad she does

I know my word is not reliable because I am a pirate

But I would never lie to her about my love for her

She is my one, I know it, I knew it from when I first set my eyes on her

Leaning down, I kiss her deeply, starting to move again, rolling my hips into hers

She moans in my mouth, my movements increasing with every stroke

Thrusting right into her spot, her body shudders under me and I love it

The pleasure on her face is gorgeous and I want to always be the reason she's in bliss

Always

Her pussy tightens around me, her hands gripping my upper arms so hard, beautiful moans falling from her mouth

"So good jagi", I praise her, so much pleasure running through me

Her cunt is so tight, so wet, sucking me back in over and over, fluttering around me hard

"Hongjoong, do not stop. Oh my god, do not stop!", she cries, panting

"Cum for me jagi", I urge her, my eyes glued to her

"Hongjoong!", she cries, her fingers digging into my skin as she cums all over my cock

"Ffff...fuck", I moan, bliss shutting my mind off

I fuck harder into her, faster, splitting her on my length

"Cum again jagi. Please. Cum again right now"

I work my cock into her spot, grinding into her, my hand moving to her clit and rubbing furiously

"Hongjoong!"

Almost, she's almost there

Using my free hand, I hold her breast up, her nipple immediately in my mouth, sucking hard on it

Her pussy floods me in juice, gripping my shaft so hard

"Hongjoong, Hongjoong, Hongjoong!", she screams, her massive orgasm hitting her, her body arching right into mine, creaming my cock so much I can feel it leaking around me

"Jagi, Joanne, fuck, princess!", I cry, ecstasy rolling over me as I finally cum inside her

Her pussy throbs around me, taking everything I give her, both of us clinging on to each other and screaming in pleasure

Oh my god, I haven't felt this is so long

The pleasure only she can give me

When it's over, I am so exhausted

I look down at her, her gaze moving to mine

She smiles, taking my breath away

I run my fingers in her hair, pushing the sweaty filled strands off her face

And I just ask her

"Marry me", I say softly

"Yes", she answers immediately

A huge smile bursts on my face, "Yes?"

"Yes Joongie. I love you. I want you always"

I nod, "I love you. You are all I want"

She smiles, "I am yours"

"I'm yours jagi", I answer

I press my lips to hers, pouring my love and happiness into it

Her arms move around my neck holding her against me

My god, I love her so much

When the kiss ends, I lay next to her, both of us turning to face each other

"When do you-?", she asks

"Tomorrow", I answer

I don't want to wait

I want to be with her

I never thought I would ever want what a normal man wants

A wife, children, a house one day

I went into piracy knowing I'd never have that, not wanting a normal life

But when I met her, I knew I'd want everything I ran away from

She raises her eyebrow, "Tomorrow?"

I nod, "Seonghwa can marry us. He has been ordained to marry people before leaving to be part of my crew."

"He was? How?", she asks

"He was a priest"

She props her head up on her hand immediately staring at me, "He was a priest? And now he's a pirate? How?"

I shrug, "Simple. He left the priesthood. Abruptly actually and technically he is still a priest"

"I do not understand"

"As far as I know, he was a priest and he fell in love with a woman in the town he lived in. He secretly began to see her as they both loved each other. They were caught in bed together and he was going to be flogged and banished. I happened to be there and broke him out of prison"

"My god Joong. You saved him"

I did but I do not think about it much

He has done much for me these past years

"He agreed to come with me, to turn to piracy but not until he saw her for the last time. Nearly got both of us caught."

"Did he see her?"

I nod, "He did. She urged him to leave, to save himself. He promised to go back for her. We narrowly escaped undetected. He's been with me ever since"

"Has he gone back?"

I shake my head, "We haven't gone back to the island as of yet"

"Oh no"

"Seonghwa has not even looked at another woman. He still loves his girl as much as he did the day he left her. We haven't been back in eight years"

"Poor Seonghwa"

"Not to worry jagi. We are going there now"

"We are?", she asks, her eyes lighting up

I nod, "It is an island in the Caribbean, far from your father and his reach. Seonghwa agreed to help me get you back and I agreed we would sail to the island to get his girl back"

"Sounds like he means much more to you than just a crew member"

I nod, "Yes. We are close, like brothers"

"I am happy you have someone like him, Joongie", she says kissing my cheek

"As do I jagi", I answer, "Nevertheless the marriage he will perform will be legal and binding. When we land, he will get us an official document"

She smiles widely, "Tomorrow is our wedding then."

I nod, "Tomorrow"

She smiles, kissing me again and I fall into it

This time tomorrow, she will be my wife and I will be her husband

And I can't be happier

[mickmundy]

fic rec anon here! ty for the recommendations :] I read the fics and aughhhh im even more hooked now akdjsoxjs all the artists are *chef's kiss* amazing the brain rot truly has reached its peak

just coming in here to say once again that your bushmedicine slow burn is sooooo good augh <3 <3 I finally caught up to the latest fic of the series

its like you're twisting a knife in my heart excruciatingly slowly and the pining and yearning between these two is SOOO good waugh (PLEASE draw out the yearning more i love the building of their relationship and repressed internal dilemas akdhskdhdoah no pressure of course)

once again, I hope when you eat your favorite dish, it'll be the best it has ever been :]

YAAAY ^__^ mission complete... we got em my friends... we bring the bushmed!! HEHEHE i'm so happy to hear that!! ^v^ <333

AND EEEE THANK YOUUUU ;__; <333 i'm literally SO excited that you feel that way, i know my fic series is quite long so i'm always afraid people are like oh jeez fuck that when they see how long it is SKDFKSDK... i'm so glad you feel that way!! ^_^ i'll always talk about it too but i just feel annoying when i do sdflmsdkfm.., trying to overcome that! but your asks make me SO happy you have no idea!! ;__; <333

i'm not sure if you use tumblr a lot, and if you've seen this stuff please forgive me! but you can also check out some of my tags:

a bushmed aesthetic tag for things i think suit them

a thou giveth fever tag for wips, musings/asks about the series, and more!

my personal medic/sniper tag with everything i've ever posted about them in it, like headcanons, asks, and so on!

a tag full of fun ask games that i always encourage my followers to send me numbers from (just tell me what post!) that i'll happily fill out for medic and sniper anytime!

you can also, as you know, always send me asks about them, my fic series, anything you want! i always love hearing from fellow bushmed enjoyers!! ;u; <333

AND OHOHOO don't worry... i still have Many Plans for beloved medic and sniper... >:) i'd say at this point right now, the current fic i'm posting is probably the like... halfway-ish mark, leaning Slightly closer to the end... but we're still nowhere near the conclusion! HEHEHEHE... at the rate i'm writing, my beloved readers will have weekly bushmed fic updates for the next few months, if i can keep going at the pace i have been!! ^v^

about loving the pining... absolutely! i feel the same. i think it can work really well for both of these mercs specifically too, since sniper is so used to being repressed and has to learn to put himself out there, and medic is so used to being so abrupt and up front that he has to learn to be a bit more sensitive to others (and not just when it suits him!)... the feelings are there, but is the communication?, and so on...

i've said it before but i think true love is when people come together and feel something for one another and work at that relationship.. (nothing against soulmates stuff or anything ofc) but i just prefer to portray love how i feel/see/perceive it, which is something Tender between people who are flawed but what they feel is Real... and i also think that romance is what You define it as and it's just as beautiful and varied as love itself! :') which as i'm sure you've gleaned is also a huge part of my series!

we still have quite a bit of time left on our journey together my friend... you need'nt worry.... i won't spoil anything, but things are going to get.... complicated.... HEEEHEE >:)c

#asks #anonymous #HEHEEHE #thou giveth fever #AGOUAGOUAAA IM LITERALLY SOOOO EXCITED TO POST MOOOORE IVE BEEN WAITING SOOOO LONG TO GET TO POSTING THIS PART OF MY SERIES A:SDLFAMDLAMSDF

[mercury-lurks]

A little Mercury x Quine thing I did for funsies :3

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

Mercury dropped her bag on the floor, drawing Quine's attention.

"Hello, shanatua. You're back early." They remarked, drying their hands on the plush yellow towel next to them. "Something the matter?"

He undid his coat, removing the purple tie and hanging it on the rack. "I'm fine, beinasku. Just.. tired."

Quine clicked their tongue. "Merc, tell the truth." They floated over towards the smaller Grea'esi, taking her hands in theirs. His four-fingered hands shook as they usually did.

Mercury pressed a kiss to Quine's cheek. "Truly, dear, I am tired."

They trilled comfortingly. "You've been working very hard, shanatua."

He smiled, dandelion eyes squinting pleasantly. "All for you, beinasku. We'll get off this world one way or another, I'll make sure of it."

"You know I can help, my dear. I'm not helpless." Their hands moved down to Mercury's hips, cradling the small of her back. He leaned into their chest, arms around their midsection.

"You're busy helping the ANC. You're needed right now. You know I would let you help if I didn't think you were doing anything." Mercury closed their eyes, murmuring against Quine's pounding heart.

"How are Neptune and Shad'r doing?" Quine asked, bringing a hand up to card it through Mercury's lush hair.

"They're doing okay. Mom and dad and Keo are keeping them entertained." Mercury sighed, sounding decades older than 17 Ariealan cycles. "They're far too young to be caught in this mess. I wish I could fix this."

Quine chuckled, bone-weary and deep. "Shanatua, we're all far too young for this. It's been, what, 4 cycles since the space-shakers arrived. Negotiations have gone nowhere." They pressed their mouth into the crown of his head.

Mercury pulled away from the embrace, hands lingering around Quine's arms. "How has your day been, love?"

Quine, tying their two tails together, led Mercury into the kitchen. "As good as it could be. I'm still the most productive Grea'esi in the zone, and I got a new recipe from Freziu that I've been dying to show you."

"Oh, how exciting! It smells wonderful, beinasku."

They ladeled a bowl of soup for her, pushing the deep red bowl over. "It's a bit hot. Be careful."

Mercury laughed, untangling their tails merrily. "I can handle a bit of heat, Q." They grabbed a spoon from a drawer, shoving it in their mouth as soon as it was full of hot soup.

"Really? Can you?" Quine smirked evilly as Mercury fanned their mouth, face turning purple from heat.

"It's really good, it's just hot!" Mercury spluttered, grinning bashfully. Quine laughed and kissed her on the cheek, cupping his face in their hands.

"You're so silly, I love you." They looked at him with fond pink eyes. Mercury smiled, her tooth gap on display.

"I love you too. You make good soup."

They acted offended. "That's the only reason you keep me around!?"

Mercury snorted, pushing Quine back. "Damn it, you've figured me out!" She giggled.

"Well, we can't have that now, can we shanatua? Come here you little troublemaker!" Quine launched themself at Mercury, who dodged, laughing.

Mercury retaliated by going for their legs, getting kicked in the face. "Hey, that's cheating!"

Quine stuck out their tongue. "All's fair in combat Shrimpy!" They flipped Mercury over onto her back with their foot.

"Going for the low blows, aren't you Terrible?" He grabbed their ankle and pulled them down, hovering just above the floor.

They dragged Mercury closer, kissing her on the lips. She eagerly reciprocated, grinning through it. The action made Quine giggle.

"We're so stupid, aren't we beinasku?" The smaller said, voice thick with adoration. Quine brushed a hand over his cheek.

Pressing their foreheads together, Quine murmured, "There's no one on Arieala I'd rather be stupid with, shanatua."

Mercury chuckled, flicking Quine's ears. "Such a sap. What's next, do you want to call me 'Derrenacba'?"

They flushed a deep purple, their pink eyes half-lidded. "Maybe..?" Quine grinned sheepishly.

Her eyes widened with surprise. "Oh. Oh! Oh, Quine. You're wonderful." Mercury flushed a lighter shade of purple, smiling. "Derrenacba.. I like the sound of that. My derrenacba."

Quine's eyes welled with tears, laughing joyously. "Shanatua.. you're perfect, dear."

"I might as well call you Uwaeih now too. Doesn't that sound nice, beinasku?" Mercury brushed their rose-quartz hair out of their face, watching as Quine spluttered in embarrassment.

"Sounds wonderful, shanatua!" They choked out, beaming.

Mercury laughed, a mirth-filled belly laugh that left them with tears in her eyes. "You know we can't get married, love, as much as we want to." He said, his voice dropping to a dejected tone. Quine scoffed.

"So? Merc, Mercy, darling, since when has anything ever stopped us before? As soon as we're off this dump and settled down that's the first thing we're doing! To Loscheda with that stupid policy, we're going to get married and I'm going to make you the happiest Grea'esi in the universe!" They said it with such conviction Mercury couldn't bring herself to argue.

There was no possible way they would be able to get married, not with the threat of war looming so close. In fact, Arieala leaders have all but made it illegal for anyone to get married simply so no Grea'esi would have to lose a spouse during the slaughter.

"As soon as I get that scholarship we're leaving." He promised. "Until then, I suppose we're simply engaged. Isn't that wonderful?"

"It is.." Quine stilled, simply looking over their fiancé. "Has anyone ever told you that you have the most beautiful golden eyes the world has to offer?"

Mercury hummed in thought. "Only you, beinasku. Has anyone ever told you that you have the most stunning lips this Star System has to give?" They gave a cheeky grin, running their thumb across said lips.

Quine took her thumb into their mouth, biting on it playfully. "Looking at my lips aren't you, Lurks?"

The other flushed a deeper purple, dragging his thumb over their teeth. "You're very distracting, you know." Mercury gave their bottom lip a small tug. Quine pouted. "Oh, what are you so sad for? I haven't even done anything." He had a knowing look on his face anyway, which all but infuriated them.

"That's the issue! You haven't done anything." They whined, pulling Mercury as close as they could get her. He simply chuckled and brought his hand to their waist.

"If that's the case, then I'd be happy to rectify that.." She murmured, pressing her own lips to Quine's. Eagerly and passionately reciprocating, Quine closed their eyes, getting as close to Mercury as their body would allow without phasing through him.

After a good few moments, they both broke away from the kiss, breathless and grinning.

"You're a really good kisser, shanatua."

"So are you, beinasku."

They lay in the air for another few moments before righting themselves, hands linked together.

"Regrettably, I do have some homework I need to do," Mercury said, reluctantly removing their hand from Quine's.

Frowning, Quine put their hands on their hips. "Are you going to stay up all night doing work again or am I going to have to drag you into bed by your tail?"

Mercury scoffed at the display. "I'm not going to stay up all night. Stars honor."

Quine nodded, thoroughly unconvinced. "Okay, yeah, sure. I believe you."

"You're gonna eat your tail when I get to bed at a reasonable hour!"

Guess who, in fact, did not eat their tail.

Rewriting The CW's Kung Fu, Part 6: Act II

We're nearly to the end, but if you're somehow seeing this before any of the previous posts, you can find them here:

Part 1: The Characters

Part 2: The Pilot

Part 3: The Mythology

Part 4: The Story Map

Part 5: Act I

If you've read all that, I am hoping that you've gotten to know Nicky enough that you're willing to ride along for the next part of her journey. Because we're going to the territory that the show actually covered (with a few rewrites, of course): the hunt for the mystical weapons.

Episode 6: Bond

We start this episode with Nicky reeling over two revelations: one, that Althea is a survivor of sexual harassment, and two, that Zhi-Lan is her dead mentor's sister. But she's going to focus first on what's more important: her own family. Nicky tells Althea that she will be there to support her whatever Althea decides to do. Althea admits that she doesn't know yet--

When Dennis tells Althea that his family's been invited to a gala at the museum for a loaned Chinese exhibit, Althea also finds out that her former boss at Cloudrush Capital will be in attendance--as a donor. Althea asks Nicky and Ryan to come with her for support--but Ryan has hospital duties. So Nicky asks Henry to accompany them instead.

At the house, Ryan can feel that there's tension between him and Mei-Li. He thinks it's because he's gay--until he realizes that his parents don't actually know that he had come out when he stood with Joe (in the last episode). Ryan explains to Jin and Mei-Li that the reason he only had one girlfriend, who quickly dumped him, is because he is gay. Jin and Mei-Li are speechless. Mei-Li walks out, uncertain of how to act. Jin, trying and failing to be supportive, just taps Ryan on the shoulder.

At the museum, Henry recognizes one of the weapons on display. It's one of the eight mystical weapons. But when he is about to point it out to Nicky, the latter had already left him. Because Nicky spotted Zhi-Lan at the gala. She is about to follow Zhi-Lan when she sees Althea having a panic attack upon seeing her former boss. Nicky weighs her options, but chooses to stay with Althea instead.

With Althea calmed down, Nicky tells Henry that Zhi-Lan is at the gala. Henry figures out that Zhi-Lan is there for the weapon, explaining to Nicky that one of the eight fabled weapons that he mentioned to her before is part of the loaned exhibit. He takes her to the still-closed exhibit--and they catch two crooks trying to steal the weapon. They get into a fight with the crooks. They win. But when they turn to the display case, the weapon is gone.

Nicky sees Zhi-Lan making her way out of the museum. In a hurry. Nicky chases after her. The get into a fight and Nicky is holding her own against Zhi-Lan, thanks to her different training with Henry. But something is holding her back: her need to understand how Zhi-Lan could kill Pei-Ling. Which she asks Zhi-Lan point blank during a stand-off. Zhi-Lan is taken aback for a second before quickly recovering, saying she lost her sister when she was a kid. That the woman she killed at the monastery was of no relation to her. Zhi-Lan manages to knock Nicky down before getting away. Henry and Althea find Nicky and get her home.

Althea and Henry bring Nicky to the community center where Ryan is cleaning her wounds. Nicky explains that the woman she fought with was the woman who killed her mentor at the monastery. Henry explains that the woman, Zhi-Lan, is probably collecting the eight mystical weapons from folklore. According to legend, bringing the eight together and taking them back to where they were forged would grant the collector untold power. Nicky whispers, "Bian-Ge." Althea frowns. "Change?" Ryan is concerned. "Transformation." But Nicky doubts that that Zhi-Lan can find all eight weapons soon. It took her three years before she found the longsword, and she probably only lucked out with her second weapon because it was included in the exhibit advertisement. Nicky is more worried about Althea.

Nicky remembers a memory of her time at the monastery, when Pei-Ling told her about important decisions having a lot of weight. How she lost people she loved because she chose to honor what she believed is right. In the memory, Pei-Ling tells Nicky that time has a way of giving them clarity on what they should've done. But during a moment of crisis, all they can do is trust that their heart is in the right place.

In the present time, Althea tells Nicky that she doesn't think she has the courage to speak up. Not yet. Nicky understands. They all have their own pace when it comes to dealing with problems. She ran away for three years. Althea notes that Nicky is back now, that she's facing her problems now. Nicky hugs her sister, saying: "and you will face your problems too. When you're ready."

Nicky and Henry are targeted by the goons they fought at the museum. They think the two have the weapon that was stolen from the museum. Nicky and Henry get into another fight with the goons. This time, when they defeat the goons, Nicky calls Evan for police help.

Althea talks to her former colleague who wants to speak up against their ex-boss. Althea apologizes and says she cannot come out. Not right now. But she is willing to talk to whoever she needs to talk to. Under anonymity. To save those they can still save. The woman thanks Althea.

At the house, Ryan tells Nicky that he's moving out of the house. Nicky apologizes for not being there when he came out to their parents. Ryan tells Nicky that he didn't need her there after all. But he will need her moving forward. To watch over their parents with him out of the house, to keep him updated, and to still be there for him when he calls. Nicky promises. They hug. Ryan leaves.

Jin sees Mei-Li pulling out an old shoe box. Something he hasn't seen in years. It contains an old photo of Mei-Li...with her sister Mei-Xue. She tells Jin that she swore she wouldn't be like her mother. But why does it feel like she's doing what her mother had done too? Pushing her own children away?

Evan visits Nicky at Happy Dumplings to talk about the goons she and Henry stopped at the museum. Nicky tells Evan that she knows who the goons are working for "Zhang Zhi-Lan." Nicky reminds Evan that he was the one with the info on her connection with the Triad. Evan shakes his head, telling Nicky that they were bailed out by a business owned by a Raymond Tan. This makes Nicky think. Is there another party interested in the weapons?

We will have a mini-reveal here of Henry's apartment. It has a map of the world with markings. Photos of the eight weapons that have strings tying them to locations where they have been sighted. It seems that Henry is keeping a secret from Nicky.

Episode 7: Rage

In this episode, Nicky and Henry work together when one of Henry's students at the community center ask for their help. A friend of his has gotten involved with a dojo that cons their trainees into taking part in an underground fight club. The student shows them footage of the fight, which is a bloody affair, and Henry spots a pair of deer-horn knives in the decor that he tells Nicky later are among the mystical weapons.

Henry's first course of action is to go straight for the source--only to get injured by the guy in charge of the dojo. This leaves Nicky as their only viable way to get into the fight club.

Throughout the course of the story, Nicky remembers moments from the monastery where Pei-Ling teaches her how to use an opponent's emotions against them. Even sharing a story where a loved one got the better of her because she felt overwhelming concern while they were sparring. This is what Nicky will use to win the fight.

To get into the fight club, Nicky borrows money from Althea--which Dennis finds out about. When Nicky explains what's going on, Dennis is all in with helping out, saying he believes in helping the helpless--even when they look like they can take him down. Which gives Althea the idea that Dennis might be okay knowing her secret too. Ryan's in charge of putting first aid on Nicky afterwards, to keep her crime-fighting life a secret from their parents.

Meanwhile, Evan tries to investigate Raymond Tan, wanting to know why a business of his is employing thugs and goons. He gets caught by Raymond's son, Kerwin, who becomes curious about his father's non-business affairs.

Jin tries to reach out to Ryan, apologizing for his and Mei-Li's non-reactions to his coming out. While Ryan is appreciative, he doesn't want to move back in. He's better now, living with Joe.

At Althea's apartment, Ryan and Dennis have set up a laptop to find out what's going on at the fight club. They root for Nicky to go through a tournament so she could face off with the underground operation's main boss.

While Nicky is fighting, Henry goes about a second operation--to take the deer-horn knives from the dojo. In the ring, Nicky imagines Pei-Ling beside her. Cheering her on while she faces different people with different strengths. Telling her that the strengths and weaknesses are both important--because one person's weakness can also be used as their own strength, like how Nicky's small build can allow her to hit lower or drive more power in her hits.

At Althea's apartment, Mei-Li visits wanting her daughter to help with getting Ryan to move back in. Only to catch the livestream of Nicky's fight. Seeing Nicky in action. This makes Mei-Li back away and run. Althea and Ryan become worried.

When Althea and Dennis are left alone, Althea decides to tell Dennis about her experience at Cloudrush. At first Dennis is angry, he wants to strangle Althea's ex-boss himself. But after calming down, Dennis tells Althea that her secret doesn't change the way he feels about her.

The episode ends with Nicky winning the tournament. Henry getting the knives--and evidence that would help shut down the dojo front of the fight ring, preventing them from recruiting more fighters. But when Nicky gets home, Mei-Li is waiting for her. "I saw what you did. At that martial arts tournament." Nicky is perturbed. "That's not the life I wanted for you. But I feel like I pushed you into doing that. Like I pushed your brother into leaving our house. I don't want to push my children away, Nicky. So I'm no longer going to meddle in your lives. Go back to who you wanted to be before I sent you on that arranged-marriage trip three years ago. Get back together with Evan. Go back to law school. Just, please: stop fighting." This leaves Nicky speechless.

Episode 8: Silence

Happy Dumplings is in trouble. A lawsuit has been filed against the restaurant for discriminating against disabled people. Nicky is immediately able to prove that it's a fraudulent lawsuit designed to shakedown store owners who can't speak in English fluently--but unlike Happy Dumplings, other Chinese businesses in the neighborhood don't have former law school students under their roofs.

Mei-Li encourages Nicky to work with Evan to find out out what's going on with the fraudulent lawsuits, hoping that it will keep Nicky out of the warrior way. Jin confronts his wife with regards to her pushing Nicky towards Evan, when Henry is already helping their daughter move on. Mei-Li tells Jin the truth: she saw Nicky fighting people to save someone. She's scared for their daughter. Jin is confused. What's wrong with having a daughter who knows and is willing to defend others? Mei-Li decides to tell Jin the truth. (Off-screen, because there's a revelation--and it helps story-wise if we find out about it with the main character.)

While Nicky and Evan are busy canvassing the businesses in Chinatown that have received a lawsuit, they get assistance from Ryan and Joe--the latter of whom is working with the San Francisco Disability and Aging Services. None of the lawsuits can stand in court, but some of the business owners have already paid up, wanting to keep their head down and not rock the boat. Nicky and Evan trace the lawsuits back to Triad connections. Evan tells Nicky they need to get the police involved. Nicky, angry at Asians knocking down other Asians, thinks it's time to take measures into their own hands.

With Nicky busy with the fraudulent lawsuits, Henry heads back to Professor Chau's office to find out why he hasn't heard back. He learns that the professor still hasn't returned--so he breaks into the office to take a manuscript that was on loan to the professor. While inside the office, he finds a puzzle box that has a connection to the mystical weapons. He takes it too.

Meanwhile, Althea is roped into a family dinner night with Dennis's family. The dinner gets awkward when Dennis's father brings up the news about Althea's co-worker speaking up about sexual harassment in Cloudrush. Dennis is about to stand up for Althea's co-worker when his mother says the woman is probably just trying to shakedown the boss into giving her money or a higher position. Althea defends her co-worker. Dennis and his sister Chloe sides with Althea. But Mr and Mrs Soong tell them that they're just idealistic. They've had experience with people who use social justice just to get a leg up in the business. That not every victim is a real victim. This forces Althea to speak her truth. That she was a victim too. She just didn't want to say anything because she feared people won't believe her. And she feared right. She walks out. Dennis follows her against his parents' wishes.

Nicky almost gets in trouble with the Triad, but Evan is there to back her up. He tells her that he will lose his job if they find out what he's doing, and Nicky says that they're helping people--what's wrong with that? They discover that the Triad is now being run by the former boss's son, with the previous head still being in prison. Nicky wants to know why they're shaking down the Asian business owners. The new boss reasons that those business owners benefited from his father's protection for many years--and they turn their back on him when he needed them the most. Nicky tells him that his dad is a jerk who took advantage of people. "And you're worse because you're using important fights to your own gains--which makes it harder for people who are legitimately fighting for their rights to be heard." Nicky lays the smack down on the new boss of the Triad and his men. Evan points to Nicky everything the police will need to shut down the new Triad operations because he has to leave before the cavalry arrives.

Nicky, Althea, and Ryan get together to compare their days. Althea tells her siblings that Dennis's family now knows about her secret. And Dennis is standing by her. But she doesn't know if she has the courage to actually go public with the truth. Ryan breaks the news that he's going to be living on his own for the first time ever, as Joe has accepted a gig that would take him out of San Francisco for a month, because of the work they had done against the fraudulent lawsuits. And Nicky tells them how easy it was for her and Evan to return to their groove. Which makes her a little torn now, because she thinks she has feelings for Henry...but she still has feelings for Evan too.

At the district attorney's office, Evan gets a visit from Sabine. She shows him CCTV footage of Henry breaking into Professor Chau's office. She tells Evan that she's worried that Nicky might have fallen in with the wrong crowd.

And at the end of the episode, Henry brings the puzzle box he stole to Nicky. Nicky recognizes it as having the same puzzle as Pei-Ling's safe at the monastery. She opens the box. There's a jade key inside. And this is when Mei-Li and Jin arrive. Jin tells Nicky that Mei-Li has something important to tell her. Mei-Li sees the jade key in Henry's hand and tells him that he might as well hear what she has to say too. Their family comes from a lineage believed to be descended from a great warrior called Liang Dai-Yu. Mei-Li turns to Nicky: this belief already cost her a sister. She doesn't want to lose a daughter too. She pleads with Nicky; "you can build the life you want, and I won't argue. But please don't follow in my sister's footsteps. Please don't follow the warrior's destiny."

Episode 9: Isolation

In the last episode of this arc, Nicky wants to find out what happened to the aunt she never knew about. Mei-Li gives her all of Mei-Xue's letters and postcards, and notes that the last postcard came twenty-one years ago. Looking at the postcard, Nicky sees an odd red panda mascot. She searches for it on the internet with Althea's help, and they find out that it's in Canada. In a small town near Vancouver. Nicky invites Henry to go with her to look for Mei-Xue. Mei-Li wants to stop Nicky, but Jin tells her that they have to let Nicky see this through. Maybe meeting Mei-Xue will give her the clarity she needs.

Evan meets with Ryan at the community center, looking for Nicky. Ryan tells him that Nicky and Henry went on a road trip to Canada. Evan is alarmed. Ryan asks if Evan's jealous of Henry. Evan says it's more than that. He believes that Nicky is in jeopardy with Henry. This worries Ryan, so he calls in favors to cover his hospital shifts--as well as his shifts at the community center. He and Evan leave to follow Nicky to Canada.

While on the road, Henry takes Nicky to an old friend--who turns out to be a very sketchy person. Nicky begins to see Henry in a new light, and not a good one. When the old friend sells them out to someone who has it in for Henry, he and Nicky have to fight to get out of there. Henry apologizes to Nicky, and he starts to open up about his past.

Meanwhile, Althea gets targeted by the lawyers of Cloudrush Capital. They want her to sign a non-disclosure agreement for everything that happened to her at the company. Althea refuses. They threaten her career. Althea refuses to sign. This makes her want to stand up against her former boss even more. But first she needs to talk to her parents.

In Vancouver, Evan and Ryan are searching for Nicky. Mei-Li tells them that Nicky was looking for a small town with a red racoon mascot. Evan and Ryan drive towards the only town they could find on Google with red panda mascot and sees that Nicky and Henry have just arrived. Evan is about to accost Henry when Nicky sees the red panda statue from her aunt's last postcard.

After a bit of asking around, Nicky finds Duke--the artist who sculpted the Red Panda--and finds out that he knows Mei-Xue. Duke invites Nicky and Ryan out back to talk about Mei-Xue, leaving Evan and Henry alone. Evan quickly accuses Henry of not being true to Nicky. He shows Henry photos from the cctv footage that caught Henry stealing from Professor Chau's office. Henry tells Evan he can explain. When Nicky returns. But when they realize that they can't hear Nicky, Ryan, or Duke anymore, the two quickly head to the back of the Duke's house--but there's no one there.

Nicky and Ryan are following Duke on a trail. When they reach a certain area, Duke turns against them. He says that Mei-Xue told him that there would be people after her. Duke promised Mei-Xue that he will keep her safe. Nicky and Ryan explain that they really are Mei-Xue's niece and nephew. Nicky even shows the postcard. But Duke doesn't want to believe them. Until Nicky calls Mei-Li, to asks her to talk to Duke. Which finally makes Duke believe. He tells Nicky that he's no longer welcome at Mei-Xue's house, but if they follows his map--they will find what they're looking for.

At home, Althea has already told her parents about what she had gone through Cloudrush Capital. Mei-Li wants to know what Althea wants them to do. She tells them that there's nothing they can do, that they have already done everything she could ever want or need: because they love her and believe her. She just wanted them to know what she had gone through before she goes public. Jin and Mei-Li hug their daughter.

Nicky and Ryan reach Mei-Xue's house, but it's abandoned. There are clear signs of someone recently fleeing the scene though. Nicky finds journals in the house. She takes photos of the pages. She is about to leave when Ryan finds a photo of Mei-Xue and Mei-Li with their own parents. Ryan recognizes their Wai-gong and Wai-po. Nicky hears something from the back and exits through the kitchen--to find that there's a grave in the yard. A grave with Mei-Xue's face. Nicky calls Mei-Li. "Mom, I've got bad news." Inside the house, Ryan finds a long box that has inscription. "Duke, send this to Mei-Li if something happens to me."

At the end of the episode, Nicky and Ryan reunite with Evan and Henry, apologizing for setting off on their own. Evan then tells them that Henry has something important to say. Henry sighs and comes clean to Nicky: His father was a guardian of one of the eight weapons. He's been helping Nicky because it is his duty to keep the weapons, at least the one that his family was supposed to keep safe, separate from the others.
