#Zak Bagans one shot

When I hear Ancient Ram Inn, I'm reminded of the time Zak Bagans laid down and invited an incubus to get all up on him, which Joel McHale absolutely roasted him for on the Soup the next week, to the point where Zak had to address that and his general stupidity in a future episode.
I was kind of excited for a repeat of that, tbh, but alas- I did not get my wish. Maybe thats for the best, though- I can't imagine how something like that would've gone over nowadays.
I shall say nothing of these streamer kids, except that the loud one metaphorically clinging to Colby all night ("I feel comforted by you, Colby" and "will you be my iron golem") was oddly endearing to me.
I want to say that one thing I will give snc is that continuously having these novice guests on really does make them seem like seasoned, respectful professionals in comparison, so maybe that's the secret behind all this madness lol.
Although having said that, they were the ones that decided to keep referring to Elspeth as the witch, despite knowing that she don't fuck with that shit, so...maybe the seasoned, respectful professionals thing is a work in progress. 🤣
Also, the Estes Method...creepiest fucking thing ever was when Colby's head just shot up and stared straight at...whichever guy (idek lol) when he asked a question, even though he was blindfolded. I know it was a coincidence, but it was so jarring. Why is everything about Colby doing the Estes Method always so unsettling?!
Anyway, kind of fun, kind of interesting at times, kind of filler, but that's OK! I'm just happy we're getting back into a rhythm.

Where My Demons Hide (A Zak Bagans Story) Pt. 2
Tumblr media
Requested By: @goth-cowgirl-03
WARNINGS: Language
Notes: Unlike the first part this is pure FLUFF. Like no joke.
Zakkk: I’m sorry Y/N. I need time.
Zakkk: I think u do too.
That was the last text Zak had sent me since that night. It’s been only a month but the radio silence made it feel like a lifetime.
I explained to him what had happened the night before… How he was attacked and… and I thought I helped him… I told him how we ended up in bed together, and how, as it turns out, he was possessed the entire time he’d made love to me.
He quickly got dressed and went for a walk. While he was gone I got dressed, eliminated the buzz killing dickwad who was still lingering in the room and walked back to my room with the heavy weight of shame on my shoulders.
Now as I lay in my bed not wanting to get up, I sigh and put my phone back on the bedside table. As soon as I did a wave of nausea hit me full force and I darted to the bathroom. Once I kneeled over the toilet there was no stopping it. Looking at it you would think I’d thrown up every meal I’d had for the past week.
Empty of sustinence I flushed the toilet and sat down beside it to catch my breath. As I did my hand went up to my stomach to give it a much needed massage. My hand froze though when I touched myself. I looked down and gasped. The entire area between my hips was swollen, not dramatically so but enough to be noticeable. “Not possible…” I whispered. But once I felt the slightest nudge against my hand I knew…
“UNCLE LUCI YOU PIECE OF SHI-!” I was cut off by the sound of my doorbell. I groaned and pulled myself up.
As I made my way to my room to get my robe I sent a silent prayer to my father.
Uncle Luci did it. The Big A is on its way.
I threw my robe on and ran downstairs, sashing it as I did.
I looked through the peep hole not expecting to see anyone important; maybe the mailman, or Amazon. Instead of them though, Zak stood on my doorstep. Fucking great.
I sighed and opened the door. “Hey,” I greeted him.
“Hey, um, are you feeling okay?”
“Do I look that shitty?”
“Well, yeah, kind of…”
“Awesome,” I said unenthusiastically. “Um, is there something you wanted?”
“Um, I just wanted to talk but if you’re not up to it-”
“I was about to call you anyway,” I said stepping aside.
He stepped inside and started towards the living room. I followed close by but froze when a voice caught my attention.
Who is the mother?
“Y/N? You alright?” I held up a finger and pointed upward. A signal he grew to know very well.
They put him in me.
And the vessel father?
He’s standing right in front of me.
“Sorry about that, dad and I needed to have a very urgent chat,” I said.
“Should we be worried?” Zak asked.
“Not if we do things right,” I said. “Which is why I was gonna call you.”
“And here I was about to talk about, well, that night… I guess that can wait though.”
“Actually it has exactly to do with what happened that night,” I said before undoing the knot on my robe. “Try not to panic, okay? Neither of us could’ve seen this coming…”
“Seen wha-” I cut him off by opening my robe exposing my belly. “THE FUCK?!”
“I told you not to panic,” I said. “Fear is the last thing either of us should feel right now.”
“I-I mean is it mine? The fuck am I thinking of course it is,” Zak buried his head in his hands.
“It’s only partially yours,” I explained. “The human part is very much you. It also has bit of me, and a part of the demon that put it in here.” Zak’s head shot up.
“Demon?” I nodded.
“For eons his kind had gone by one name,” I held my stomach and tears erupted from my eyes. “Antichrist.”
“I think I’m gonna throw up,” Zak muttered. “Does this mean...did… did we just end the fucking world?”
“No,” I whispered. “Well, I mean we basically puts it fate in our hands. If we do things right he will grow to be the most powerful being on this planet but he won’t be evil. If we fuck up though…”
“It will be the ultimate fuck up,” Zak finished. “And there’s nothing we can do right now, you know like an abortion or..?”
“He’s growing too fast and even if we did they would only try again with someone else,” I said. “I’m not the only Nephilim in the world remember?”
The shock wouldn’t leave Zak’s face. I walked over to the couch where he was and sat down beside him. “I’m sorry… I’m sorry you’re involved in this…” He turned to me but didn’t say anything, hell he wouldn’t even look at me in the face, his eyes froze over the bump. Still staring he slowly reached out and placed his hand on my stomach. There was another nudge in response.
Zak gasped. “It really is growing fast. I take it we don’t have the normal nine months to prepare.”
“Nope,” I muttered.
His hand then fell from my stomach down to my hand. He took my hand in his and held it tight. “I’m with you every step of the way.” He said sounding like he was making a promise to himself, to me, and to his child. “I love you, Y/N. More than I’ve ever loved anyone before… and evil or not I will love this baby for the rest of my life.”
“I love you too,” I whispered before Zak leaned in and enveloped my lips with his. Somehow this kiss felt different than the ones we shared that night. It was more warm, loving, and well… human.
After a while we pulled back and Zak just held me against him. “There’s something we have to do before anything else, though.”
“What?”
I looked up at him, smiling weakly. “How do you feel about getting married?”

A creepy guy with too much Axe Body Spray and hair gel jumps into an investigation out of the blue. Wearing so much Affliction that he sparkles in the night. The ghosts can see him punching the air from a mile away. He's ready to kick some ghost ASS if they don't answer him. BUT!! He screams when the breeze touches his skin.
"My name is Zak Bagans. I've never believed in ghosts until I came face to face with one. So I set out on a quest to capture what I once saw onto video....With no big camera crews following us around, I am joined only by my fellow investigator Nick Groff and our equipment tech Aaron Goodwin. The three of us will travel to the some of most highly active paranormal locations, where we will spend an entire night, being locked down from dusk until dawn.... Raw... Extreme... These are our Ghost Adventures!"

Zak Bagans X Reader Best friends are great, hands down. But this best friend locks you down in bat-shit crazy places. Rating: I don’t even know. F (Fluff), I think???
**WARNING: Cursing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Do you trust me?” Zak whispered to the woman beside him.
“Zachary, if you make me go upstairs by myself, I swear to God, I will tell the spirit to follow you home.”
Aaron laughed, his camera shaking slightly. Billy, who was standing beside him, hid his laughter by biting his lip.
“Just - trust me, okay? I want you to go into the upstairs bedroom, the one on the right, and I’ll give you-” Zak began, but she cut him off again.
“The one where that bitch old lady died? Hell no!” Her voice cracked in the middle of her sentence, her voice getting higher as she grew more scared. Aaron could not hold in his laughter no matter how hard he tried and had to set down his camera in order to recompose himself.
“Will you just listen to me? I’m gonna give you this recorder. You’re gonna go upstairs in the old lady’s room. You’ll come back to nerve after a few minutes.”
“Fine. But if I’m in there for longer than thirty minutes, the next spirit we investigate is going to be you.” Snatching the EVP recorder out of his hand, she stomped her way up the stairs. “Shut up, Aaron!” She yelled before turning into the room on the right. Zak, Billy, and Aaron left the house, leaving her alone in the haunted farm house. Sighing, she hesitantly sat on the bed. She gave her name after turning on the recorder. “Why do you stay here? This isn’t your property anymore. You need to leave.” With the recorder placed on the nightstand, she tried to relax her mind enough to let the spirit speak with her. The reason she was on the crew was she helped the boys contact a spirit on an investigation, and the dead seemed to like her. She was an empath, like Zak. It seemed to be one of the many things that connected the two of them, regardless of how often they got on each other’s nerves.
“Alright, you guys, I’m not getting anything up here. It’s almost sunrise, there’s less energy. Can I come down now?” She asked into the walkie. It was silent for a moment.
“Yeah,” Aaron’s voice came through. “Make you way back down. I’ll come unlock the door for you.”
‘You assholes locked me in?!” She scoffed.
“Yeah, that’s on Zak,” Aaron laughed.
Once out of the house, she didn’t waste any time in punching Zak in the arm after helping Billy and Jay load the truck.
“I barely felt that,” Zak teased. “What was that for?”
“You’re a dick, that’s what that was for.” As she walked to the other side of the car to sit next to Aaron, Zak smiled to himself, knowing after she avoids him the entire ride home, she’d be right by his side the next day.

Your First Ghost Adventure
Ghost Adventures - Zak Bagans Imagine
Zak Bagans x Female Reader, 700 words
Tumblr media
-Your First Ghost Adventure-
Imagine you are dating Zak and get roped into investigating with him for the first time.
-----
"There's no way, Aaron. I have never let her investigate with us. Do you know how shitty I would feel if something happened to her on my watch?" Zak said adamantly to his good friend.
"All she would have to do is go in the crawl space. None of us will fit, and it's where all the sounds are coming from. If she can get in there, at least she can debunk it," Aaron said back.
Zak knew he was right. That evidence was crucial. He would never ever make you do something you did not want to, so he would give you the choice.
Zak found you outside talking to Jay. You tended to hang around to soak in every moment you could with your boyfriend before he went into lockdown. Your time was limited together, but you made it work.
"Hey, beautiful," he greeted gently.
You turned away from Jay, who disappeared to wrap up his work, and into Zak's warm embrace. "Did you wrap up your last interview? I missed you."
"I always miss you," he said quietly, kissing your forehead. "We've hit a bit of a snag for tonight."
"Oh no. What happened?" you ask.
"There's a crawl space. The guys and I are too tall to fit. Would you be willing to go back there tonight? You're the smallest person on our team."
You hesitated, not so much because you were afraid, but because you had never done it before. You also were a bit claustrophobic, but it would be completely dark which would help.
"You promise to be there the whole time?" Your voice was muffled from where your cheek was pressed to his chest.
"Of course I promise, but you don't have to do this, y/n."
"It'll be fun," you said. "I get to see what really goes on."
That night, you followed Zak and Aaron into the basement where the crawl space was at. Billy had been sent to investigate elsewhere, and Jay was watching everything from nerve center.
Zak had shown you how to use the digital recorder and how to properly hold the camera, all brand new things you had never done before. You were good at multitasking, but this took it to another level.
You weren't too frightened, not when Zak was around. He would protect you.
Zak lifted you off the ground so you could slowly inch into the dark space. It was darker than the dark you were already in if that was even possible.
You had to do an army crawl because it was so narrow. You did your best to ignore the walls that completely enclosed you, but your breathing was increasing rapidly with anxiety.
Finally, the hallway opened up into a small room where you could actually sit and straighten your back.
You used the display screen of the night vision camera to see your surroundings. It was stone walls covered in cobwebs and who knows what else.
You called out to Zak that you were going to roll on the digital recorder and proceeded to ask questions.
"y/n," whispered a disembodied voice whispered in your ear and you gasped with fright, and you willed yourself to take a deep breath.
However, someone or something began tapping on the walls, making you feel like a caged animal. You hoped the sound picked up on the camera.
You couldn't wait to get out, but that was going to be tricky.
"I don't know how to get out, Zak. You're going to have to help me unless you think it's easier to go feet first," you said, your head beginning to spin from the enclosed space and grime.
"I'll lift you out, whatever way is easier for you," Zak said. "Please be careful."
Finally, you reached the end and Zak painfully pulled you out by your arms, almost causing you to tumble head first into the ground. You already knew your stomach would be sore tomorrow.
You dragged in some air, letting out some nasty coughs.
"Are you okay, babe?" Zak asked concerned, patting your back.
"It was dusty and I probably ate dirt," you croaked, handing him the equipment.
"You did good. I'm so proud of you," he said sincerely.
----
A/N Thank you for all the love on my last Imagine. I forgot how inspiring positivity can be. ❤️

Future Haunting
Tumblr media
Pairing: Zak Bagans x Reader
Summary: (Prompt) "If I die because of that idiot I'm going to haunt him for the rest of his life."
Warning: None! :)
Author's Note: I'd really like to write some more for Zak and the Ghost Adventures crew, feel free to request!
The evening had arrived sooner than the crew had hoped. The Ghost Adventures crew had finished up the last of their interviews just about an hour ago, and now they were enjoying some dinner at a nearby diner before they initiated their lockdown. “There’s absolutely no way! You’re lying bro.” Aaron’s loud comment snapped you back into reality as you all enjoyed your dinner. “Actually… I agree with Zak on this one.” You laughed in response, while stealing one of Zak’s cheese fries.
“I don’t know, I stand with Aaron on this one. I haven’t had a burger this good back in Vegas before.” Billy countered, earning a high five from Aaron. You pouted as Zak playfully swatted your hand away as you went for another fry. “Wow, rude.” You huffed and reached for your glass of water. “Jay, you’re the tie breaker here man,” Billy pointed out. Anticipation grew in the playful atmosphere as everyone’s focus landed on Jay. A tense silence fell upon the group as Jay set his drink back on the table, “Sorry guys, I’ve definitely had better in Vegas.” He admitted. Seconds later groans and protests from Aaron and Billy were heard, soon covered by cheers and teasing from you and Zak.
Zak wasn’t much for playful spirits lately, considering the last few investigations were quite heavy and dark, so it was refreshing to see him laughing and smiling. Dinner was soon wrapped up and enjoyed, resting your head on Zak’s shoulder as Billy went up to pay. “You guys are such dorks,” Aaron teased at the sight of you and Zak so comfortable and casual, his phone out as he recorded for an Instagram story, you blushed and stuck your tongue out as Zak laughed, grinning down at you for a moment. “Shut up bro,” He laughed.
“Zak and y/n sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First comes love, then comes-“ Aaron sang, having a field day with the love birds of the crew. “Don’t you dare!” You cut him off, Billy and Jay laughing as they gathered their things, the rest of you following along to gather your belongings and start heading back to the car.
“No Aaron!”
“Yes y/n! Its adorable, fans are gonna love it,”
“I don’t care!”
“I already posted it,”
The small argument progressed as they entered the vehicle. “In that case, you no longer have shotgun.” You playfully pushed him aside as you got into the passenger seat, Zak in the Driver’s seat, and the rest crowding into the back seats. Zak couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement at the childlike argument, “What’s wrong babe, I’m not that ugly am I?” Zak teased as he clicked on his seatbelt before starting the engine, lacing his free hand into yours. You playfully rolled your eyes as you laughed. “Oh shut up Bagans, you know all too well you’re far from ugly.” You countered as you pecked his lips softly.
“Oh get a room!” Aaron groaned teasingly, Jay and Billy supporting the idea. “You guys could always walk there,” Zak smirked as he glanced back at the three, before beginning the drive to their location.
The lockdown had commenced only a few hours ago, the crew having split off. Jay was monitoring the cameras back at nerve, Billy had taken charge of the fourth floor of the old asylum. Aaron, you, and Zak were about to split off after having investigated the top floor with not much activity. “Hey guys, I definitely think someone should head to the basement. I’ve been hearing strange and loud sounds since we started.” Jay called in through his walkie talkie.
Aaron sighed deeply as he had a feeling, he was about to be sent off to investigate on his own.
However, Zak’s decision hadn’t been anticipated. “Yeah alright.. y/n why don’t you head down there? Aaron and I will cover the second floor.” Zak stated as the three began to walk down the staircase. Aaron couldn’t contain both his shock and laughter, “Good luck y/n, don’t let the spirits bite.” Aaron teased, which would, of course make their audience laugh once the episode aired.
“If I die because of that idiot I’m going to haunt him the rest of his life.” You paused as you told Aaron’s camera that, glaring at the pair as they continued down the stairs. “Yeah? Join the club, babe.” Zak laughed as they soon turned back into their work mode.
Off you went, further down to the basement for an investigation of your own.

Nick Groff’s pre-lockdown thoughts (fictional)
Nick’s Instagram post below inspired me to a short Nick POV drabble about his possible pre-lockdown thoughts, especially in those picture he looks all thoughtful and moody in 😉
I listened to the following songs while writing this: > I fall apart by Living in Fiction > Stay cover by Michael J Adams > Alone by I Prevail > I feel like I'm drowning by Two Feet > Far from home by Sam Tinnesz
Tumblr media
Credit: Nick Groff
--------------- There he was once again, alone with his thoughts, pre-lockdown, just as the last sun rays made their way through the crooked windows of this new decrepit location he was about to investigate. 
As per his ritual, he isolated himself from the group for a moment, to collect himself, gather his thoughts, compose himself before lockdown. Trying to put up a mental wall that would keep the things that haunted these grounds from messing with his head.
But lately the spirits weren’t the ones inhabiting his every thought. Blissful memories kept flooding his mind. Reminding him of times of joy and happiness. Times when everything seemed easier, when regret didn’t even cross his mind because he had everything he could’ve possibly wanted. A smile covered his face as he let his fondest memories run through his mind like an old reel of film. There was a time when he didn’t have a care in the world. He thought about how he missed that lightheartedness as his smile slowly started to fade making him stare into the distance as the last sun rays were casting shadows all over the empty room.
How did he get here? How did everything spiral out of control in what seemed like a split second? One moment he was happy. The next he was signing paperwork that read ‘termination of contract’. That day! That day he put his initials on that fateful piece of paper will be forever burnt in his memory. It only took a few moments to sign over a life that took him years to build. Just like that all the blood, the sweat, the tears, the sleepless nights, the countless attachments that went into realizing his dream, were shattered. Now he had to start all over again...and he did! He loved his new shows, but still, there was something missing...someone. That particular person he wished to share his new success with. The same person he wanted to call every time he was on the verge of losing his mind after a lockdown. The only person being able to calm his mind, bringing him back to reality. The person he has been dead to for a long time. The person that broke his heart! Ever since the day he signed over his old life, his mind was trapped in a vicious circle of nostalgia and self-loathing! But maybe that’s exactly what he deserved! Haunted by the very memories he held so dear! “Nick?...Nick!...NICK!” A familiar voice pulled him back to reality. It was Rob, letting him know that everything and everyone was ready for lockdown. He couldn’t help but be reminded of the times another familiar voice kept calling his name during lockdowns to make sure he was safe. A smile covered his face as he turned to his team “Let’s do this!” --------------- Oh and by the way, come chat with us in our new NAK chat on Discord 🤗

No Judgement
Tumblr media
Title: No Judgement Chapter: One-Shot Pairing:Zak/OC Rating: T Fic Summary: Whenever Zak comes home from a rough lockdown, he only wants to see one person.
[A/N - Inspired by "No Judgement" by Niall Horan.]
“You sure you want us to drop you here?” Billy asked Zak.
“Yeah, pick me up in two days.”
They were scheduled for another lockdown in a couple of days.
He knew he should probably go home, all he wanted was to spend time with her. Zak got out of the van and pulled his bag out of the trunk before walking up to the front door. He pulled out his key and unlocked the door, going inside.
He dropped his keys in the bowl and his hat on the table, running a hand through his hair. He smiled when he found a sage stick ready for him. He lit it up with his lighter and did a quick cleansing.
She always required that he cleanse before walking into her house. She wasn’t interested in being attacked by whatever was attached to him.
Zak had already done his cleansing and prayers after the lockdown, but he saged himself just to appease her. He carried his duffle bag into the laundry room and dropped it on the washer. He could worry about that later. Right now he just wanted to see her.
Zak walked into the kitchen and found her. His Lexi was standing by the kitchen sink, rinsing dishes off and setting them on the drying mat. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling her neck with his face.
“Hey you,” her sweet voice said.
Zak placed a kiss on her neck as his hands slid up her loose shirt, settling on her stomach.
She dried her hands and leaned back into his arms. “How was it?” she asked him.
He was quiet, which meant it was a difficult one.
“Go sit down. I’ll crack open a bottle of wine and you can tell me about it.”
Zak let go of her and went into the living room to sit down on the couch. He pulled off his boots and socks and pulled the blanket off the back of the couch.
Lexi came into the living room and laughed. “Well you certainly made yourself at home.” She handed Zak a glass of wine. She knew he wouldn’t drink it, but it gave him something to do with his hands.
Zak told her all about the lockdown. How he had been terrified, how Jay had been affected, how Aaron had been attacked.
As Zak talked, Lexi’s hand settled on the back of his head, rubbing the nape of his neck with her thumb. “I’m sorry, sweetheart.”
Zak sighed. “It’s fine. I love my job, you know? But sometimes…”
“You’re an investigator Zak. It’s in your blood. You’d never be able to give it up.”
“I could. Could move to some little mining town. Live in the mountains.”
“You’d be investigating every building in town, Zak. You wouldn’t be able to help yourself. You’re too curious. Besides, you have your museum. That provides you enough paranormal evidence every day.”
“The show can’t go on forever. At some point, we’re not gonna wanna travel so much. It’s already getting harder. We’re not as young as we once were.”
Lexi giggled. “Oh, I know. Mr. “Oh my god. I’m turning 40!”
Zak playfully shoved her.
“Hey! Don’t spill my wine!”
Zak loved being here with her. There were no expectations from either party. He was free to come and go as he pleased. He could be himself around her instead of Zak “Big Bad Demon Hunter” Bagans.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Two days later, the guys pulled up to the house.
Billy sent Zak a text to let him know they were ready to pick him up.
Zak looked down at Lexi who was still sleeping. He kissed her cheek. “See you later, sweetheart.” He set the alarm and locked up before throwing his bag in the back of the car. He got in the passenger seat and buckled himself in.
“You ever gonna tell us who you visit every time we’re home?” Billy asked.
“Nope,” Zak told him. Zak understood their arrangement. No strings attached, but sometimes he wished there were. He wished he could always come home to her.
Billy turned on the radio as Zak opened the file for the next lockdown.
He needed to get his head in the game.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lexi woke up to find she was alone.
The last two days had been bliss.
Zak made her breakfast the following morning and they spent all day watching crappy ghost/haunted house/demon movies.
She loved listening to Zak criticize Hollywood.
He was also able to identify filming locations as places he’d been.
Lexi sighed and got out of bed. She needed to get ready for work instead of pining after a man she knew she could never truly have.

I have to say, to me they’re starting to take every piece of supposed evidence a little too literal. If something goes off and there’s nothing next to it or not reason for it to, that’s one thing. But trying to string every single word together that comes out of the spirit or little word box to form some sort of coherent sentence to fit the supposed narrative of the location is kinda pushing it for me. Also, gotta love how when Sam and Colby were like “what is Amanda drawing???” And Nate just chilled there instead of telling them she did that outside too. The skit was one of the funniest things they’ve done in a while too.
Yes, they are trying to make every single word they hear mean something, and it's giving me (once again) Zak Bagans vibes. He used to do that shit and while it was funny to me, it also made it hard to take him seriously.
They need to keep the energy they have when they are doing solo investigations. I like solo investigations energy.
I will say, I thought I was gonna hate that skit, but I did chuckle a few times. Also, Amanda telling Colby, "No feet pics!" And then Colby blurring his own feet in the next shot made me laugh.
They had a few moments in this one, lol.

Music to My Ears
Zak Bagans x Fem!Reader, Billy Tolley x BestFriend!Reader
Warnings: just a flicker of angst, otherwise it’s just goofy shenanigans with some light fluff.
Word Count: 1.1k
A/N: This is an unofficial continuation of the “Prank Wars” fic/drabble series. If anyone has any suggestions for pranks to write about, I’m all ears. :)
My Full Master List
Tumblr media
You sipped your iced coffee as you waited for Billy, Zak, and Aaron to head towards the car. Jay offered to stay behind at the hotel and fix a few of the broken cameras. So, you were going to pick up some dinner for him on the way back.
“C’mon slow pokes! I’m hungry!” you whined playfully as Billy approached you. You waited just outside the front doors of the hotel, staring through the opened, glass automatic doors at your approaching friend and your husband.
Billy nudged you, grinning. Oh, boy, what now? He pulled on the straw to his iced coffee very slowly, letting out a hollow scraping sound that was like nails on a chalkboard. You grinned.
“The sound that drives Zak Bagans crazy,” he whispered, winking. You nodded.
“Wait until we get in the car. I’ll follow your lead,” you muttered back, returning his gesture. You both laughed in agreement.
“What’s so funny, babe?” Zak asked as he wrapped his arm around your waist. You shook your head.
“Nothing. Just an inside joke,” you responded innocently, kissing his cheek. “Now c’mon, I’m getting super hungry, and you promised me true Chicago pizza.” Your husband laughed and rolled his eyes, then turned the two of you towards the car.
Once the four of you were in your seats, Billy put the van in drive, and headed for the restaurant. You were seated behind Zak, where Jay usually sat, gently running your fingernails up and down the back of his neck. It wasn’t sexual, at least not like this. No, this was something that soothed him and relaxed his otherwise racing mind, and neither of the guys even questioned it.
He leaned his head back against the headrest and closed his eyes, letting out a deep breath. Billy glanced over at you, holding his drink on one hand and the steering wheel in another. You simply grinned, to which he nodded.
He leaned toward his drink to take a quick sip. As he lifted his head back up, he pulled the straw up, unleashing a low screech that filled the car. The moment Zak heard the sound, his shoulders shot up, tensing.
“Gah! Really, Bill? God, I hate that noise.” Zak scrunched his nose and peered away. Billy just smiled and took another sip.
You leaned back into your seat since Zak was too far to reach now, and sighed. Then, you lifted your drink to your lips and took a sip, allowing the straw to stick to your bottom lip, releasing another awful squeak.
“Y/N!” Zak boomed. You just chuckled.
“Sorry, babe. It was an accident,” you mumbled. Aaron chuckled beside you, peering up from his phone. Billy glanced back at you again and smiled, then he turned up the radio.
The beginning of Queen’s Somebody to Love was playing, giving you an idea. Billy grinned to himself, somehow agreeing telepathically. That’s why he was your best friend.
He started toying with his straw as it sat in the cupholder beside him. He pulled it up and down, making noises that were almost perfectly in rhythm with the instrumental part of the song. Oh, he was talented.
Once the vocals started, you tried your hardest to move your straw in sync, not doing quite as well as Billy. But, you were close, and that’s all you cared about.
Zak’s whole body tensed, and he slammed his hands over his ears.
“What circle of Hell have I just entered?! Gahh!” Zak shrieked as he shook his head. Aaron cackled hysterically beside you and danced to your horrid orchestra of squeals.
You sang along with the piercing shrills, which apparently sent Zak over the edge.
“Stop the car,” Zak growled. Billy laughed but let go of his straw.
“Aw, babe, you don’t like my singing?” you whined as you leaned forward, holding onto the seat in front of you.
“Stop. The. Car.” Zak clenched his jaw. For a moment, your stomach flipped. Was he really that mad? Sure, he was sensitive, but he never truly got mad at you for pranks. This wasn’t even close to the worst thing the two of you had done to him. But this time, he seemed genuinely pissed.
“Dude, calm down. We’re just messing with you,” Billy snapped back, sensing your concern as he shot you another look. You were slowing at a red light, and a small part of you hoped Zak wouldn’t fly out of the car the moment you stopped.
“Do you two want me to go deaf? Or completely nuts?” Zak’s tone was serious, but you couldn’t help but laugh, instantly feeling a little better.
“Well, you’re already nuts, Zak,” you poked, hoping for a smile. You got one, along with an eye roll.
“You married me,” he retorted with a dry chuckle. You laughed at that, his relaxing tone calming you again.
“I didn’t know you guys were so musically talented,” Aaron commented beside you.
“Thanks, man. We have band rehearsal twice a week,” Billy joked, picking up his drink again. Zak eyed him with a glare.
“If that straw makes even the faintest noise, I’m throwing it out the window,” Zak hissed as he stared out of his window. Billy chuckled just as he took a sip, nearly sending coffee straight out of his nose.
“Okay, Bagans, let’s get you some food. We’re almost there. You get cranky when you’re hungry.”
Zak rolled his eyes again. “Yeah, especially when my very sanity was just pushed to the brink of nonexistence.”
“Sorry, hun,” you whispered to him, running your fingers down the back of his neck again. He didn’t pull away, which made you smile. “Billy and I will save our band practice for when you’re not around,” you teased. Zak huffed a sharp sigh and leaned back into your touch.
“I’d appreciate it,” he muttered with a smile as the car pulled to a stop.
“Now let’s eat. I’m starving,” you muttered as you opened your car door. The moment you lifted from your seat, you were met by Zak’s tall, muscular frame. He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you against him.
He pressed a kiss to the top of your head and lightly squeezed you. “I’m not mad.” Another kiss on your forehead. “But when we get in there, neither of you are allowed to have a straw.” You busted into laughter and pulled away.
“Oh, so I’m on straw probation?” You cocked an eyebrow.
“For lack of a better phrase, yeah. You are.” His arm slithered around your shoulders and he led you toward the building.

Mon 12 April ‘21
Liam enjoyed the rest of his BAFTAs night post show; while the good reviews of his performance flooded in and Midnight re-entered the itunes charts he had some drinks (“a rum or two deep celebrating”) and had some fun posting with the BAFTAs filters and his digital avatar-- he posed with the digital Liam avatar (“not often you get to take a picture with yourself!”) which, again, looks even creepier and worse with the contrast of real Liam looking cute and like, HUMAN, right there! Later in the night he turned against the stand in, posting a pic of it scribbled up with glasses and moustache and devil horns and more, quite right. Burn it with FIRE!! Ghost hunter pal Zak Bagans also has some doubts about that uncanny imposter and commented about how you aren’t supposed to meet your doppelganger-- “exercise me spiritual guide,” said Liam, (which I personally think is a VERY funny typo for exorcise) and “ghost adventures honorary member when do I start,” well if you ask me Liam you can start by bringing back Cornelius, ANYTIME. He also got official BAFTAs posed pics, he looks like a proper movie star himself! Nice to see him again, and he enjoyed being back too- today he posted a pretty selfie captioned “still on a high from yesterday’s performance felt like a lifetime since I’d been onstage.” And not only that, he posted some art! The beginning of a drawing of a person (“beginning something really special I hope”) and a pretty older piece. A+++ Liam content all around, even with that scary fake!Liam!
A picture was posted of Niall out playing golf and may I just say DAMN NIALL that’s a lot of LOOK for the golf course!! The Fashion, the Hair, wow. But that would be where he would care about Bringing It, idk why I’m surprised. He also congratulated both the winner of the Masters and a fan whose fantasy league picks were good, but no word on the Anne Marie collab- the agency that worked on the shoot visuals posted about it but no new info.
Louis didn’t show his face but we got to see it anyway- a huge collection of outtakes from his House of Solo photshoot from late 2019 was posted! The photog from that shoot has posted outtakes before a few times and it’s been a little pointless, just almost exactly the same as the posted ones, but this batch is different and way more exciting! There are actual behind the scenes shots of him breaking the Serious Model Face, and also plenty of brand new seriously gorgeous posed shots. They were posted not by the photographer this time but by a fan burner account?? Very mysterious! Louis himself just commented on a post by his keyboard player Zak of him playing music, a cover- “YES LAD”.
And the girl that took the pic of Harry at the park the other day posted more from that encounter and announced that in fact he was with Olivia! Very unlikely given that… well mostly given that they’re not actually dating but also, you expect me to believe this person is someone who wants us to know they were together but didn’t take a pic of her and also didn’t mention it until just now? Come on. I mean even if she was there they still aren’t dating so w/e, but I just find that EXTREMELY  hard to believe. Olivia has been seen many times lately (because she keeps getting herself papped) over by the house she and Jason are sharing in South London, but not near Harry’s place. Eleanor was over near there though! She, like many Londoners, celebrated today’s re-openings by heading out- she went to the Spaniards Pub with friends (and Bruce, her dog.)

Zak Bagans x Reader (Request)
Requested by @gacbabe45
ZAK
‘Dude are you okay? What’s wrong? Are you feeling ill?’ Aaron asks, firing off question after question aimed at me from the passenger seat of my car.
Had my actions really been that noticeable? There was something wrong with me, I was conflicted about my feelings for one of my best friends. On the one hand, I wanted to confess, but on the other hand, I didn’t want to ruin a good friendship. y/n l/n had been my best friend for over twenty years, I was in love with them, but with my infamous reputation was I really capable of love?
‘I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say you’re thinking about y/n, and not just about the housewarming, but maybe how you’re finally ready to confess your feelings,’ Aaron speaks up since I was being silent.
I move my eyes from the road to Aaron, ‘what do I do?’
Aaron grins, ‘why the sudden urge?’
I sigh loudly, ‘it’s stupid. We both went to a family friends party the other week and y/n looked drop-dead gorgeous. Lots of men had their eyes on y/n and I was jealous. From that night I swore I’d be the only man romantically in y/n’s life. They stayed by my side the whole night because the attention made them uncomfortable.’
Aaron hums to himself, ‘dude I’ve never seen you this lovestruck before. If I was you I’d tell y/n how I feel. Trust your gut, do it tonight.’
I was still conflicted as we pull up outside y/n’s new home. Aaron goes ahead of me leaving me to compose myself. I pick up my phone and smile at my lock screen because y/n had taken my phone the other week and changed the lock screen to be a goofy photo of them. Little things we did when together had people assuming we were together and neither of us denied it. I needed to find out if y/n’s feelings were mutual.
Y/N
‘Ash can I tell you something in private?’ you ask your close friend, who detaches herself from Jay and shoos him out of the kitchen to mingle with the other guests.
You’d met Ash when she joined the Ghost Adventures crew as a photographer and you were the lead researcher and had bonded over a mutual love of photography. Ash jumps up onto the counter nearest to you.
‘You can tell me anything y/n?’ she answers.
You lean in towards her just in case anyone was eavesdropping and keep your voice low, ‘the other week Zak and I went to a party and I don’t know what overcame me but I found myself thinking about Zak as more than just friends. I’ve liked him for a while but that night cemented my true feelings. A lot of guys were eyeing me up and Zak shielded me from them.’
Ash giggles, ‘you have it bad for Mr darkness himself. The two of you would be perfect together, you know each other, every dirty and dark little secret. Plus you can’t deny that the two of you act like a couple in public. You two are the most oblivious people any of us know.’
You feel your cheeks burn at Ash’s accusations and observations. You and Zak weren’t subtle, but you put it down all these years to just being really close friends. Maybe Zak had similar feelings, Ash had pretty much told you so. Would this ruin your friendship? You had a lot to think over and a lot of drinks to help you work up some courage.
‘The party can finally begin!’ Aaron calls out cheerfully, entering the kitchen.
Ash rolls her eyes and gets off the counter to go and find Jay, ‘the party began when I arrived Goodwin,’ she snorts.
Aaron pouts like a child as Ash pushes past him playfully. You walk over to your friend and hug him, ‘ignore her Aaron.’
Aaron hugs you back, ‘this is why you’re my favourite y/n.’
Zak clears his throat behind Aaron, ‘I thought I was your favourite Aaron.’
Aaron jumps a little and pulls away from you, ‘dude one day you’re going to give me a heart attack. y/n is now my number one.’
Aaron reaches around you and grabs a beer from the cooler on top of the counter, pops the cap, and leaves the kitchen to find the others leaving you alone with Zak.
‘Welcome to my humble abode Mr Bagans, make yourself at home.’
Zak smiles, ‘oh you’re going to regret that invite y/n. I’ll have myself a spare key before the end of the party.’
You laugh, ‘challenge accepted Bagans.’
TIME SKIP
ZAK
It was getting late, quite a few drinks had been drunk and jokes had been shared. Aaron suggested a game of truth or dare and like the big kids we all were, we said yes. Billy, his partner, Jay, Ash, Aaron and y/n sit down in the lounge while I sit down opposite y/n. We made the rule that if you refused to answer the truth you had to take a shot.
It didn’t take people too long to refuse to answer truths, so shots were taken and even my head was starting to feel groggy, but I managed to keep my eyes on y/n the whole time while they never took their eyes off me.
After a shot, Billy spins the bottle and it lands on y/n who chooses dare. Billy rubs his hands together, sharing a look with the others around the circle like they were all in on something.
‘y/n I dare you to kiss the person you have a crush on,’ Billy states, words a little slurred.
y/n nods their head and gets up on their knees before leaning over the bottle in the middle and crashes their lips down on mine without any hesitation, taking not only me by surprise but the whole circle. I kiss y/n back, holding their chin in place not wanting to lose the taste of their lips, while our friends erupt into cheers around us.
Once y/n pulls away and sits back down in their spot I take a deep breath, ‘y/n will you go out with me?’
y/n nods, ‘yes I will.’
More cheers and congratulations erupt amongst the circle. I guess I had nothing to worry about, y/n felt the same way and had said yes to dating me. The game continues, before y/n excuses themselves and I follow after them into the kitchen.
y/n holds their hand out to me, and in their palm is a spare key, ‘you won the challenge Bagans.’
I throw my head back and laugh, ‘and I got the best prize of them all.’
y/n throws their arms around my shoulder and kisses me again, this was a feeling I could get very used to as I kiss them back. When everyone sobered up y/n and I would receive hell off our friends for taking out sweet time getting together.

I’ll Be There -- A Destination Fear One Shot (Tanner Wiseman/Reader)
~CW: mentions of blood~
          The new season of Destination Fear was starting off with a new face amidst the cast. Seeing as this televised experiment revolves around how fear affects the mind, why not see how it affects someone who has not experienced any of this before? It also helped that you had been intrigued by the premise for a while and that you are dating Tanner, one of the cast members.
           The first location? Bobby Mackey’s Music World in Wilder, Kentucky.
           Pulling up to the location with you, Tanner who had an arm around you, and Chelsea in the front of the RV, it all seemed surreal. The stories involving the place including people being physically attacked made you very terrified for everyone’s safety.
           “I have an idea,” Dakota says after all the equipment is set up.
           Everyone by now knows that what follows those words usually is not a good idea. Well, they were good ideas in the sense that most of the time it was to increase the fear being tested, not so much a good idea for everyone’s liking and wanting to do.
           “We should start off with solos. Tanner, you have the honor of writing everyone’s name down to figure out who’s going first,” Dakota proclaims.
           Just as Tanner is about to start writing everyone’s name down, you spoke up with your own idea, “Why don’t I just do it and go first?”
           Everyone just stops and stares at you for your question, confusion and concern on their faces. Can you blame them? No one had offered to go do the crazy thing before.
           “Don’t give me that look. Does it really seem fair to pick names out of a hat when the only one who hasn’t done a solo is myself? I say let’s level the playing field a bit before having to pick names from a hat,” you say with as much confidence as you can muster.
           Dakota, Chelsea, and Alex nod their head a bit, understanding what you were saying. Tanner, on the other hand, still had concern written across his face as he approached you.
           “Are you sure about this?” he asks.
           “As sure as I can be,” you respond while looking at his handsome face, “I’ll have to do a solo eventually anyways so no point in trying to hide from it.”
           He nods a bit, understanding the implications of it all. You two and the rest of the crew were on this trip to explore fear and knew there is no way to protect one another from the scary things that lurk in these places 100% of the time. Sometimes, you must face these things head on. Was Tanner still nervous about you doing the first solo at your first ever location on the trip? Of course, but you made up your mind and are not often easily swayed to change it, and he knew that.
           As you gathered the equipment to head into Bobby Mackey’s alone, Tanner started to ramble, “Be safe out there. Walkie us if you need help,” before giving you a kiss on the cheek.
           “I may come up with some dumb ideas, but I’m not stupid enough to not call for help when I need it,” you say with a little bit of snark to diffuse the tension just a little bit.
           Luckily, the response did just as you hope it would. Everyone chuckled slightly and you started to head towards the entrance of Bobby Mackey’s with your camera in hand.
           “Alright, so my initial thought is to go big and go into the basement. Dumb idea, I know, but fear is what we are searching for, so fear is what I’m trying to get. The basement is where numerous people have gotten scratched, including Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures fame, whom we all know Dakota has worked with. What’s scarier than the possibility of this happening?” you ramble on camera.
           As you enter the basement, you immediately get an eerie feeling. Something is not right, but you must keep chugging through with this; it’s your job now. Finding a place to sit on the floor, you decide to start the normal investigative procedures.
           “I’m right by the well in the basement and I’m going to do an EVP session with this digital recorder to see if I get any response,” you say as you hit the record button. “What is your name? How did you die? Why do you stay here?” you ask while giving some space in between questions to let the spirits answer.
           You continued to question for about ten minutes before stopping and playing back the recording. It seemed like nothing wanted to interact with you; you weren’t getting responses to your questions. That is, until you listened to your final question of “Is it true that there is something demonic here?”
        A loud, deep growl came through that you did not hear in real time. Your mouth formed an O just hearing it. With whatever in the basement besides yourself hearing this out loud, the growl seemed to shift the energy in the room. While the initial feeling when you entered was eerie, now it feels unsafe and that someone or something is right behind you.
       And maybe something was because suddenly you felt a burning sensation take over your back. You had seen enough paranormal shows in your life and heard many stories involving encounters to know that a burning sensation tends to mean that you got scratched.
       “So, I’m pretty certain that I got scratched across my back. I felt that burning sensation often described when scratches like these occur, but I can’t see my back. I’m going to have to call for some help to see how bad it is. I know I don’t look as scared as I probably should be; I think I am mostly internalizing it to try and process what is happening before I have a huge freak out,” you say into the camera as you take out your walkie.
        “Hey guys,” you say into your walkie.
       Tanner, Chelsea, Dakota, and Alex were all just chatting like normal friends do waiting for you to come back or walkie them. Even with the thought that you could walkie them, you unknowingly walkie scared them causing everyone to jump at the sound of your voice.
       “Guys,” you say as your voice cracks at the end, betraying your true feelings you were trying to internalize into nonexistence.
        Tanner was already up and booking it with his camera towards Bobby Mackey’s before you even explained the entire situation. Chelsea decides to grab the walkie and respond while everyone was grabbing equipment to try and catch up to Tanner.
        “Go from Chelsea” she states in as clear of a tone as one can while trying to respond and grab their camera at the same time.
        “So, I’m certain something scratched my back here in the basement, but I can’t see it for myself. Can someone come and check it for me? I want to know how bad it is” you say trying to reign in your fear.
         “Tanner took off before you said where you were, so he should be there sooner than us if one of the guys decide to yell to him where you are in the building,” Chelsea states just as Dakota yells towards the general direction of the entrance “Go to the basement Tanner!” before they all take off to get to you.
         Tanner was indeed the first of the group to find you, having had the head start, long legs, and hearing the location you were in being screamed to him from far behind. Since you were still sitting on the floor, probably too scared to move from the incident but it had only felt like a second had passed since it happened, he knelt down next to you and put his camera down on the ground. With both hands free, he grabs your face and kisses your forehead before staring deeply into your eyes.
      “Are you alright?” he asks with concern in his voice.
      “I’m a bit shaken up currently. Something scratched my back; it was just this burning sensation all over. Can you check it for me and take a picture of it? I want to see how bad it is,” you mention to him.
       He grabs his flashlight and phone as you start to push up the back of your shirt for him to look at the damage done. Once the flashlight is on, he helps lift the back of your shirt more to get a better look.
      “Oh babe,” he says while taking a picture, “this definitely isn’t good.”
       He hands his phone over to you to see the picture of your back. What you saw were three large scratches marring your back that at some points were bleeding just a bit. You gasp at the sight, having not had thought it would be this bad. You had seen the Ghost Adventures episode where Zak got scratched, but his weren’t bleeding. Why were yours?
       At that precise moment was when the rest of the crew arrived. With one quick glance at your back, they knew they were in for a tough night. Luckily, someone had packed a small first aid kit in the backpack, so your scratches were cleaned up with antibiotic ointment and some bandages were put on the areas that were bleeding. With you now standing with everyone, Dakota nixes the idea of more solos and the group continues to investigate the rest of Bobby Mackey’s.
      After a few more EVPs, some words on the Ovilus, and Alex seeing a shadow figure, it was time to figure out sleeping arrangements. Tanner took the lead of writing out the locations on a slip of paper, but you noticed something odd.
      “Shouldn’t there be 5 slips of paper with different sleeping arrangements instead of 4?” you ask.
      Tanner looks up from writing to say, “After what happened to you alone in the basement, just for this night, I’m not letting you be by yourself again. So, I’m making the decision that you’ll stay with me for the night. I know, it’s such a burden that you’re stuck with me,” adding a dramatic flair to the last sentence before continuing to write.  
      You chuckled at his dramatics. It was something you loved that he did seeing as you pull the same antics at times. You couldn’t really complain; you understand where he was coming from and you also did not want to be alone again in this location. Dakota didn’t try to argue the reasoning either.
      The four locations were the well, the room of faces, the attic, and the men’s restroom. Chelsea picked first and ironically got the men’s restroom. Following Chelsea was Dakota; he ended up getting the well which was where you had gotten scratched earlier in the night and he was not happy about it. At least you didn’t have to go back to that area again, but there was still one location in the basement left. Tanner went next and he picked the attic for the two of you. You gave a huge sigh of relief at this since you didn’t have to return to the basement at all now. This left the room of faces to Alex, who also was not looking forward to being in the basement.
      Setting everything up for sleeping arrangements from equipment to where the crew would actually sleep seemed to breeze by. Instead of cots, the two of you had sleeping bags which so happened to fully unzip to create a pad for the two of you to sleep on and for the other to act like a blanket. Knowing that Tanner was right by your side ready to comfort you really helped with still being at this location. As you laid together, he slipped his arms around you and pulled you into him.
      “I’m so proud of you for sticking through this. You’re so strong. Had this happened to me on my first investigation, I would have skedaddled out of here,” he whispers in your ear before kissing your cheek.
      “Well, I knew I had amazing back up ready to help whenever I needed it,” you whisper back while having the biggest smile on your face.
      “And I’ll be there whenever and wherever you need help,” he states so sincerely.
      No matter the situation, Tanner could find a way to make you smile. It may take longer than he would like, but he was always able to do it, and that was one of the many reasons why you loved him.
      The two of you managed to get some sleep, whether it was due to no activity, the comfort of being with one another, or both. Dakota, Chelsea, and Alex all came up to wake you guys up once 6 am hit and soon enough everyone was packing up equipment to put back into the RV. Once the investigative equipment was all put away, all 5 of you split up to give your final thoughts on the location.
      Finding a nice place near a tree, you sat down and started recording your piece.
      “What a crazy first investigation. I don’t think anyone expected the extent of what happened to occur, never mind to the person just entering the crew. Am I still a bit shaken up? Of course, but I’m not letting this stop me. I can only grow stronger and persevere through this. I want to prove that I can handle it. And now, off to another crazy location,” you say, growing more determined with each word.
      Once you finished recording, you stood up and returned to the RV. After a couple of minutes, everyone was back. With Tanner next to you with his arm around your shoulder, Dakota and Chelsea across from you, and Alex on the couch across the walkway from the table the four of you sat at, the RV took off to the next location.
