it’s my birthday soon and i’ve always felt lonely during my birthdays— so if it’s alright, can i request headcanons for scaramouche, xiao, and albedo with an s/o who only locks themselves in their bedroom because they don’t feel special enough to even celebrate their birthday? thank you 🥺
S/o’s birthday but locks themselves in their rooms because they don’t feel special [Genshin Impact]
Tumblr media
Characters Included: Albedo, Scaramouche & Xiao
Notes: 👁👄👁 the title is so long- i don’t know how to shorten it- hshshs. Btw, HAPPY ADVANCE BDAY ANON-!! I KNOW THAT FEELING ANON- SO UR NOT ALONE 🤧🤧 if you want to talk, you can msg me anytime-! You deserve to be showered with love-! Hope ya’ll like this!
Reader’s Gender: Neutral
Warning: none
[aether, childe, diluc, kaeya, venti]
Tumblr media
Albedo
As much as Albedo wants to remember your birthday, he just forgets because of many things running through his mind. Especially when it comes to new discovery. He’ll be so sorry when he remembered that your birthday was today-
At first, Albedo had a hard time looking for you. He asked everyone- yes even Diluc, Kaeya, Jean, Klee, everyone- but no one has seen you. Which made him worried since no one has seen you the entire day—
He would literally tear down Mondstadt trying to find you until he remembered that he hasn’t check your house yet. When he finds that you’ve been locked up in your room the entire day, it literally broke his heart- ;w;
He would feel like it’s his fault that you don’t feel special, like bro- he would have a sad puppy face on. He will put his hands on either side of your face and make you face him-
“You are special. You are like the sun. You are like a (God/Goddess). Even if you don’t feel special yourself, you’re special to me. And since you’re my beloved, my (prince/princess), you deserve all the happiness and love in the world. You deserve to feel special on your special day. So smile, I don’t want to see any tears.”
Albedo would do anything you want, probably to make up his forgetfulness- :p if you want cuddles, then cuddles you’ll get. If you want a cake or something, he’ll try to bake something, no promises though. (Its the thought that counts, right? 👀).
Albedo would use his ability of drawing and bringing them to life. He would draw all sorts of things, bunnies, squirrels, flowers, and others. He knew that you love watching him draw and bringing them to life. It honestly warms his heart knowing you love what he’s passionate about.
If you want, Albedo could talk to you about all the things he found out recently. All of the research and things he discovered. If you ever question some things regarding about what he discovered, he would happily try to explain it. (It’s honestly adorable seeing him explaining the things he discovered in his research- 🤧)
At the end of the day (around 11-), he would cuddle with you while laying beside you. Every so often, he would press a kiss on your head.
“Happy Birthday, my love. May many more to come... the next time your birthday come, I promise we’ll celebrate it together properly.”
Tumblr media
Scaramouche
If you think that Scaramouche doesn’t care about your birthday, then you’re right-! 😃 I’m joking- (unless-). He honestly wants to spend your birthday together with you, but his duty as a Harbinger comes first.
Believe me when I say he feels guilty. Leaving you alone on your special day is honestly low, even for him. He would definitely try to finish all of his missions immediately to get back to you. He would do whatever means necessary to finish them all immediately (he might or might not have sacrificed some people in the process- 👀).
You can imagine his confusion when he couldn’t find you anywhere. He already has something set up for you, all he needs is the birthday person themselves. But he couldn’t you anywhere.
Someone better tell him to check your room or else he would literally tear down the Fatui headquarters just to look for you-! He seriously need to manage his anger- 😓
Scaramouche would find it weird to he finds out that you’ve been in your room for the entire day. At first, he didn’t understand why you’re doing this. But soon, he’ll understand. Afterall, he might’ve done that before..
This guy has no manner whatsoever as he just entered your room like he owns the place- one look at you and the next thing you know is that he’s pampering you- like he’ll be preparing a bath for you and choosing an outfit for you (he’s a fashionista, change my mind 😃). Like bro, who are you and what happened to Scaramouche?
“Tsk. You’re quite a handful, you do know that, correct? Making me go through all this effort to comfort you. Now tell me, who put that idea on your head? Was it your family? Was it someone else? I honestly want to murder whoever put that idea in your pathetic head. ‘Not special to celebrate your birthday’? Ha! Don’t make me laugh. Everyone deserves to feel special, even if its for one day. Now, stop being stubborn and enjoy it-!”
Scaramouche would pamper you so much, like his personality did a 180- he would be pressing kisses all over your body and praising you like theres no tomorrow. He would help you dry yourself and put on the outfit he chose for you. If your hair is long, he would help styling it.
He would take you on a fancy dinner date (this guy is also rich, fite me—). He would honestly spoil you lmao- so enjoy it while it lasts- 😃
“Don’t expect this everyday, okay? I’m not gonna put much effort the next time... still.. happy birthday, my beloved. Don’t ever feel like you’re not special when you’re special to me.. if you ever feel sad, come to me. Thank you for putting up with me.”
Tumblr media
Xiao
(Yes I’ve remade the Xiao banner again- 🤧🤧 im very indecisive ik-)
Celebrating birthday? What’s that? Xiao honestly didn’t think much of it since centuries pass by with his day of birth passing each time, he never really thought much of it. Never bothered celebrating it.
But when he found out (from Verr or Rex Lapis/Zhongli) that the mortals celebrate their birthdays, he honestly doesn’t have a clue on how to celebrate it. So he might seek the help of Verr or the Traveller.
He does his best. Please give him credit for trying- ;;w;; He’ll try his best to make something for you. It won’t be anything grand. A simple picnic near Wangshu Inn with some Almond Tofu and other food-
So when the day of your birthday came, Xiao is nervous. He doesn’t know if you’ll like the surprise or not. But when he started to look for you, he was confused when he couldn’t find you before growing worried.
Unlike the other bois, he would immediately check your room before tearing the place down- when he finds you there, he’s honestly confused again- (poor bby, always getting confused- ;;w;;). When you explain to him that you just don’t feel special during your birthday, Xiao would get worried and upset-
The first thing he does is hug you. Like this is the only thing he knows about comforting someone- its not like he encountered humans that needs comforting- ;w;
“I.. don’t really know what it feels like to not feel special on your day of birth but.. you’re special to me. Isn’t that enough?”
Like broooo, he looks like a sad puppy- he’s honestly lost on what to do. You might as well need to comfort him too 😅. He would try to shower you with affections before dragging you to the picnic he set up.
He would be so relieved if you like or love the picnic he set up. As much as its embarrassing for him, he would allow you to feed him and, if you let him, feed you in return. He will continue to press some kisses on your face, head and hands. Because, like, u really deserve it- 🥺🥺
He would bring you to the highest mountain just near Wangshu Inn and enjoy the view, and possibly go stargazing with you. I can see him knowing how to make a flower crown for some reason :pp so he’ll make a flower crown out of Qingxin flowers and place it on your head-
“Happy day of birth, my love. Even as more days of birth come, I promise to make you special. Even though it’s not the grandest, I hope that my efforts and love will be enough.”

Genshin impact x reader
Episode: 3
Title: really innocent??
A/n: SORRY THIS TOOK A LONG TIME- I'm sorry for any mistake and also, please enjoy! possible love interest for now will be : Diluc, Kaeya, Albedo, Zhongli, Childe, Xiao, Beidou, Ningguang.
Jean and the purple dressed girl looks at each other it's as if they're talking about something but with no words being spoken.
"ah yes.. uhm- you will meet a certain knight.. please wait for a while".
the acting grand master that you now know names Jean is opening the door to the outside office alongside the purple dressed woman. 
once Jean and Lisa was outside, they took a glance at you, making sure you didn't follow or eavesdrop on them.
“she.. passed our test..? is it enough to prove her innocence?”
Lisa shakes her head and goes into a thinking position. you did pass the test.. you genuinely doesn't seem to know this place even if you did.. damn you make a good actress.
“no.. we still need more proof-”
Lisa stopped midway her words when suddenly Aether comes in along side paimon.
“hello, cutie”.
Lisa suddenly change the subject and greets Aether, and starts discussing about the new.. unknown girl from nowhere. Aether crunch his eyebrow, another traveler? is she perhaps like.. me? Aether is exited to see you. you're from nowhere you have a possibility to know his twin sisters information.
you waited for about 2 or 3 minutes who knows, being left alone in the room is not really fun. your ears perked up when you heard a footsteps coming from outside. the door opened and it reveals a man with a flying thingy.. the mc and the companion. paimon.
“this is the hononary knight that we wanted you to meet”
The mc, that you know the name "Aether" is Infront of you, his eyes is glimmering with slight hope. A hope that you might know his sister..
Well you don't.
Not really, you haven't gone THAT far, all you've been doing is just leveling up and be stronger. Oh well. You silently said in your head. What can you do? You being here already ruin the whole story. You smile at the boy and wave your arm a little bit.
"Hello, nice to meet you".
Aether greets you and you greets him back with a wave and a 'hello'. Jean smile softly but worriedly at Aether.
"uhm.. Aether can you bring y/n around Mondstat? She.. is new here".
Jean has calculated everything, Lisa has cast a couple of spell to check you, Kaeya has met you and he doesn't seem to hate you or find anything suspicious from you. And with that in mind, jean no longer hesitate. She is sure that even if you did something weird as long as it's not threatening you'll be fine.
And so!!! Your adventure with Aether and paimon starts from today.
Stepping outside of the room is a huge relief- well not really, some of the guards are stating at you. You maybe new but you're not blind.. you can see or rather feel their eyes on you.
"so.. y/n right? Paimon was wondering.. how did you get here?".
Ah yes there you go the question that even you don't know.
"uhm.. honestly i Don't remember.. i told you that when i woke up i am in the hospital room with barbara.. and the rest is history. I also don't know how or why i am wearing the Mondstat dress".
Paimon looks at you weirdly and Aether is just staring at you, it seems like he wanna ask something so you flash a smile at him, reassuring him that it's okay to ask questions.
" are you a traveler like me?"
You of course, shake your head. Aether and you are different, he travels by his will and you travel not by your will.
"I'm not a traveler, i didn't go from one word to another.. but thankyou for asking".
Aether's eyes widen for a little. Maybe you're not as clueless ass you seem. Just by answering his question you already give away little bits of your secret. Aether is SURE you're hiding something.. what he's not sure about is are you a friend or a enemy. Aether took a glance at paimon, of course she just nods her head and went to talk random stuff to you.
Aether never mentioned about traveling one world to another.. yet you seems to know about that without him needing to explain.
Without realizing Aether stopped and thing, spacing out, causing you and paimon to look at him worriedly.
"are you okay?"
You asked the boy, he quickly looks at you and nods his head yes. You shrugs your shoulder thinking that maybe it's just hot and he wanted to rest.
Aether show's you around Mondstat. You meet alot of great and nice people like Glory and Ellin even Hertha. But one person catches your eye.
"so y/n this is Katheryne. Katheryne, this is y/n".
Your eyes widen. What is she doing here?! She's the one who gave you that disc that started all this- not that you're complaining but this is against your will-.
"uhm... Y/n?".
Paimon called your name. You snapped out of your imagination and looked at the worried Paimon, Aether and Katheryne.
"u-uhm... What did i miss.. hehe?"
You asked them. Aether pats your back and you sweatdrop, whoops.. luckily you don't think out loud... That would be.. ahem.. awkward.
"katheryne says hello to you".
Katheryne giggle and wave at you, you laugh awkwardly and greets her back.
"h-hi..."
Katheryne nods and proceed to talk with Aether and Paimon about the new quest that they're getting.
"are you perhaps going to show y/n around Mondstat?".
Aether nod and Paimon say yes, you are just going with the flow, nodding your head when you can so that they'll know, you're still paying attention.
"great! Some one from Liyue has a wine request for master Diluc. They said that it would be great if you can send their request in person to master Diluc".
Send their request in person??? Why would they need Aether to send their request in person..? That's interesting. Aether accept the quest anyway, it's not that big of a problem. Aether turns to look at you.
"well we are going to the bar next.. and maybe if you're lucky you can meet master Diluc on your first day here".
Lucky? Why would you be lucky, you follow them anyway to meet this master Diluc.
"hah.... Diluc~".
Wait- what who said- you look around and saw a girl with short hair thats bunch up into a low ponytail. The girl seems to notice you staring at her, she seems surprised and quickly covers her face.
"that is Donna. She knows alot about romance".
Paimon went beside you and whisper.
"she also has a crush on master Diluc".
That clicked and you goes 'O' you nod your head at Paimon, Aether looks at Paimon and face palm, which makes you giggle.
"ah! Hello mr Aether! Ouuuuu??? Hello miss pretty".
A little girl behind a row of flower greets Aether and you. Wait did she just call me pretty? Ah .. you don't wanna be too confident so you greets her to she what she say.
"hello there! my name is y/n, what’s yours?”
the girl smile sweetly at you as she started to introduce herself.
“my name is flora! nice to meet you miss pretty!”.
w-what miss pretty? your face turns into a shade of red, Paimon tease you about you being miss pretty, Aether’s face went a little red but he quickly just laughs and smile softly at the both of your antics.
“okay okay, it’s time to move on guys. let’s go to the bar”.
Aether pull you and Paimon away from each other, you guys said your goodbye to flora as you both part way. you're kind of exited to meet this Diluc guy.. what will he look like? is he nice? is he powerful? without you realizing it, you're finally in front of the bar. you opened the door and take a peak inside, while Aether just walks in.
“hello master Diluc, were so lucky meeting you here right now!”.
a handsome man with red hair and a very dark like clothes looks up at Paimon and Aether, sensing a new face he turn his gaze to you. 
“and... i assume you're showing this lady around?”
wow... calling you lady... fancy. he also looks.. hot.. and fancy wait- come on y/n! stop going out of the main topic!
“whoa! how does master Diluc know that were showing y/n around?”.
Paimon asked, master Diluc fixes his gloves and looks at Paimon with little to no interest.
“words travels quickly, especially if its about a girl out of nowhere that so happen uses the Mondstat dress”
he now turn his gaze on you. you're not even surprised if he is suspicious by you, people are giving you a suspicious glances except for that nice flora girl. you stare at him back and sigh, you cant really complain can you? its not their fault anyway
“Right.. nice to meet you master Diluc”.
you bow your head a little at him. he nods back and turn his attention else where, seemingly uninterested. Diluc makes a conversation with Aether about something, Aether and Paimon seems.. a little hesitant, you keep looking around the bar anyway, youre not incluedid in the conversation then you should not intervine. Paimon and Aether goes towards you.
“so...uhm.. y/n.. we will be going first”
Paimon said, kind of awkwardly, you look at them, confused, why are they leaving you now? you thought that they're gonna show you around? what happen to that? A hand suddenly reach out to your shoulder, making you freeze up.
"I'll take care of you from now on"
And with that your fate has been decided, you'll be with Master Diluc for the rest of the day... Until who knows when.

AYO BESTIE CAN I PLEASE GET A BAISE FLUFF ALPHABET SHES FROM HXH THE YORKNEW ARC
A/N: Sorry this took a minute. Writers block at its finest. This might be a little angsty in some parts. Spoilers from the Yorknew Arc for the ones who aren’t that far.
Fluff Alphabet - Baise x GN! Reader
Tumblr media
A = Admiration (what do they absolutely adore about you?)
Your voice. She could never get tired of listening to it. It could be filled with excitement about the simplest things or the certain tone you make when you pout because of her teasing. Absolutely love it and wouldn’t trade it for the world.
B = Body (what is their favorite part of your body?)
Your neck! She loves to bury her face in it and leaving little kisses all over it (depending on you things might escalate👀). It’s also a place of comfort after a bad day. She claims that your scent calms her down. It also gives her the excuse of being close to you.
C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)
She really likes to have you lay your head on her chest. It’s a common occurrence for you to be laying on her on the couch while she’s scrolling through her phone. Also really enjoys having your head in her lap and vice-versa. When you start playing with her hair she just melts.
D = Dates (what does their ideal date with you look like?)
At home dates. With her going on missions quite frequently, Baise wants to spend as much time with you as she can without distraction. If you want to go out she won’t try to deteriorate you. Just make sure to give her your full attention, okay?
E = Emotions (how do they express emotion around you?)
Did somebody say physical touch? She’ll kiss you, hug you, hold your hand, anything to br close to you. I headcanon that she’s secretly poetic as fuck so words of affirmation are really big too. Her compliments are always full of love.
F = Family (do they want one? If they do, when?)
She’s kind of on the fence with it. She really doesn’t want to go through the whole birth process. Other than that though she might be into it. If she gets to see you smile with the kids
G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)
Believes that love shouldn’t be measured in material things. It’s nice to give gifts once in a while but feels like it’s not the only aspect of affection. Don’t let that discourage you though! If you give/make her a gift she’ll shower you with compliments. Baise definitely has a special place to put everything.
H = Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)
Baise holds your hands all the time. While you two are cuddling, sleeping, walking around time, everywhere. Loves to give it a little squeeze every once in a while. OH she 100% kisses your hand just to see how flustered you get.
I = Injury (how would they act if you got hurt?)
Her first priority would be to make sure nothing is an immediate threat to your life. After that, she’s going to fix you up and make you get some rest. Probably would get you to tell you what happened but wouldn’t really do anything. It’s not because she doesn’t care, it’s just that as long as you’re safe in her arms she’s content.
J = Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank you?)
Yes. Nothing extreme of course but Baise does enjoy seeing you jump. Laughs whenever it happens. Also, she’s funny af so of course, y’all have jokes. A good handful of them are suggestive. She’s a giant tease as well. She has to let her sadistic behavior out some way.
K = Kisses (how do they like to kiss you?)
Sometimes Blaise can be a little hesitant to kiss you. Her nen can get in the way and the last thing she wants is for you to be affected by it. However, her favorite type are those deep passionate ones. She usually gives you one right before she leaves for a job. (I just thought about her giving you that kiss right before yorknew without knowing that was going to be her last. I’m sitting here sad now.)
L = Love (how do they show they love you?)
Physical touch is really big. Believes that actions speak louder than words. She also just really likes touching you. If that’s not your forte then she’ll go to the next best thing: gift-giving. Baise has really good taste so if she sees something she thinks you’ll like consider it bought.
M = Memory (favorite memory together?)
You two were on a date. It was at a field of flowers that you could pick. To be honest though you two were just playing around. Running and jumping around, laughing at each other’s antics. I mean who could ask for a better day. You two were standing under a tree sharing short and sweet kisses when a girl took a picture. It’s Blaise favorite. Whenever she’s doing a job she’ll look at it to remind her what she’s coming back to.
N = Nightmare (when is their worst fear?)
Someone coming to kill you. She’s worked and dealt with some nasty people. She also knows that people do come after others just because they feel like it. She would be absolutely torn if she came home one day to not only see that place trashed but to also see you laying on the floor lifeless.
O = Oddity (what is one quirk they have?)
That she’s a heavy sleeper. It will take some time getting her up in the morning but that’s alright! There’s a foolproof way of getting her up…or it might end in her pulling you back to sleep. First make some tea. Then go into your shared room and begin placing soft kisses all over her face. She’ll begin to stir with that but it’s not enough! “Love, it’s time to get up. I made you some tea.” Baise will let out a groan before pulling you into her, placing a kiss on your head. “Why’re you always up so early?” is what you’re usually met with.
P = Pet Names (what do they like to call you?)
Regular ones like babe, love, lovebug, or, her personal favorite, the absolute love of her life. When she says this it’s always in a dramatic tone. Doesn’t do the shorter version of your name unless it’s a really serious topic and she needs you to be serious.
Q = Quality Time (how do they like to spend time with you?)
Baise is willing to do whatever you want to. She just wants to be close to you. Wanna cuddle? The pillows and blankets are all ready to go. Want to cook? She’s a decent chef so sure why not? Want to watch that show you’ve been binging? Let her get the popcorn.
R = Rhythm (what song reminds you of them?)
Le Festin from the Ratatouille soundtrack. You two were cooking when it came on and acted like fancy chefs. It’s a very cherished memory between the both of you. I’m a Flirt by R. Kelly is one. Like the title it implies her flirtatious behavior towards you and how she likes to tease. Last but not least is I Met Sarah in the Bathroom. It reminds you of the last night you spent together before yorknew :(
S = Secrets (how open are they with you?)
At first not so much. It’s not because she didn’t want to open up. It’s just the fact that she wants to keep you safe. Eventually she’ll start venting her issues to you. Little by little she’ll get more comfortable just saying what’s bothering around you.
T = Time (how long did it take you to get together?)
A few years. Baise loved you and wants to spend the rest of her life with you. However she works a dangerous job. The last thing she wants is to drag you into something that could possibly end you.
U = Upset (how do they act when you’re upset?)
Upon seeing you upset she’ll pull you into a hug. Rubbing your back asking what happened. If you decide not to tell her that’s fine. She’ll then ask you what you want to do. It can be going for a snack run, taking a walk, cuddling, anything. As long as she gets to see you smile again.
V = Vaunt (what are they proud of? Do they like to show you off?)
Hell yeah! On the occasion that you two go into town she’ll be proud that she gets to walk around with you. Proud that you chose her over everyone else.
W = Warrior (how do they feel about you fighting?)
Honestly would rather you not. The thought of you getting injured or worse haunts her. If you can fend for yourself then she can’t really stop you but she’ll be extra attentive to make sure nothing happens.
X = X-Ray (how well are they able to read you?)
With her occupation, she needs to be able to read people. So being able to read you comes with it too. If Baise sees that you’re upset she’ll walk up cupping your face in the process asking what’s wrong.
Y = Yes (how would they propose to you?)
It was one of this very rare occasions that Baise was up before you. She was standing on the balcony over the city in deep thought when your arms found their way around her. “Well someone’s up early.” You said in a teasing tone. She chuckled to herself, turning around to engulf you. “What’s on your mind?” She let out a sigh. “You can see right through me. As always.” Looking up, you were met with green eyes full of love and admiration but also concern and worry. “I’ve been thinking a lot about us..” Your breath hitched. You always knew that your safety was her highest priority. You knew she would brake it off if she deemed it unsafe. Was this it? Noticing how tense you got Baise kissed your temple. “You are the most important thing to me you know? Even if I wanted to I could never fully let you go so I’ve decided I want you forever.” You felt her slip out of your hold getting on one knee. “Will you grant me that wish and marry me?”
Z = Zen (what makes them feel calm?)
Seeing you happy. It means that she’s doing what she’s supposed to. Your happiness is so important to her so just seeing you smiling and laughing makes her heart clench.

ALLOW ME TO PLACE THESE Q'S HERE FOR OUR FAVE GOBLIN: Besides meat, what other foods does he find delight in? What's something that gives him utter peace as soon as it's there? How was his life during the Joseon era? Are there certain things in the past that he wishes could be available in the modern world, or is he fully comfortable with what's at hand? How would he feel if a particular gumiho suddenly hugged him from behind? 👀 LOVE YOU
-. @jeoseungsaja | Alex I would literally kill for you, if anybody ever comes at you, let them know I’ll be the last thing they see, BECAUSE I LOVE Y O U
---
This got so loNG I’MS O sorr y- Also look at this gif taken from the pack you sent me the link of <W<
Tumblr media
-. Besides meat, what other foods does he find delight in? Would saying ‘fish’ be a bit too close to meat? Okay, that aside I do think Shin has a rather varied palate, mostly because he's had plenty of time to visit any place he’d wanted to visit and explore dishes and specialities to the point where it would be extremely shameful if he chose to not keep an open mind about new dishes. I also think he’s particularly fond of Korean dishes (in a similar fashion to Hyun) simply because it feels like home, especially if it’s traditional enough that it can bring him back to the beginning of it all, perhaps without reminding of the contexts that had made the beginning difficult. And I also think he might be a little bit of a gourmet: he’ll absolutely eat what he can get, considering how fond he seems to be of beer he can’t say he doesn’t like junk food or anything you could get and/or make easily. But for some reason I have a feeling that Shin thinks of food in a ‘the eye wants its part too’ fashion, meaning that he also enjoys when something looks good, when it’s presented well, and when it looks like it’s trying to make an impression - which is something we’ve seen him do before. Kim Shin is characterised by an interesting combination of ancient and modern, old and young, where he is both wise and petulant, reliable and petty, and these many contrasts living within his personality, can present themselves in something as simple as cuisine, too. So, yeah, he’ll eat ramyeon. But also that Canadian steak. And he loves homemade... and sitting in fancy restaurants.
-. What’s something that gives him utter peace as soon as it’s there? The people he loves. The Goblin has lived so long, has seen so many things, has owned a great deal of trinkets, properties, treasures. But nothing material can bring him the peace that the people he holds dear to his heart can. Because even objects with value only have said value because they remind him of those he’s had to move on from, loved ones he no longer gets to see. So, he might show anger at losing a plate Louis XIV used to eat on, but did that plate bring him peace? No. Does knowing Ji Eun-tak is safe, sleeping in a room in his house, hopefully soundly, bring him peace? Yes. Does the pitter patter of Saja’s houseslippers headed towards his bedroom bring him peace? Yes. Does purposefully ignoring Deok-hwa’s faux innocent smile in his peripheral asking him for money bring him peace? Yes. Simply getting to sit there and witness the people he loves be themselves, alive, hopefully well, going about their existence by pursuing their hobbies, engaging in their quirks and habits, is the most Shin doesn’t dare to ask for. That’s when he’s tranquil: when he gets to see those he loves be, free of plight, or imminent danger. When he’s sitting on their couch and watching Eun-tak spread her homework across their coffee table and occasionally shoot him that special smile, while Saja slurps on his milk and gets too invested in a drama playing on TV, and Deok-hwa is walking into the room babbling about some girl-related nonsense, well... What more can he possibly want?
-. How was his life during the Joseon era? I remember one shot of Shin in Joseon era, I think he’s sitting at a table and having a good time, possibly even gossiping about something, I don’t remember the episode this scene was in, nor can I find it anywhere else, but unless I’m having brain fry, I vaguely remember his appearance as well: according to his outfit, he must have been a yangban. Yangban is sort of what you could have considered nobility at the time, the ruling class of the Joseon dynasty, made up of military officials and/or scholars. Why am I mentioning this? Well, because obviously Kim Shin would have found a way to become a yangban. The title/class of Yangban is, this all according to my research so if I’m wrong shoot me and pls correct me, something a man had to earn by passing certain exams/attending a school, that would basically qualify them for the social status that would then turn the entire family into a yangban family (also because women couldn’t take these exams and studies, nor become officials or scholars, but could still inherit the title of yangban female from their fathers, for example). So, how was his life during the Joseon era? Well, high class I would say. I don’t remember what was being discussed in that scene, so I can’t say for sure, but I can’t see Shin choosing to become a military official yet again. Considering his experiences with the empire while serving it as a general, I can see Shin simply defying from the crown by minding his own and no longer offering his self and his services in any direct way to the palace. I can see him as a scholar, perhaps simply living his life as a yangban male and every now and then attending a few things just to maintain his status, all while he simply continued to explore the country and play pranks on other officials. And I can’t tell you why, but I can absolutely see him play pranks on other officials, or sneak some reading material to a daughter, or monopolise the attention of court ladies just because he can, going as far, of course, as he can get away with flirting with anyone at the time. He most definitely grew fond of a few faces here and there, since Shin is literally incapable of not growing fond of someone, once you enter his heart, you simply do, it’s far too big for a man like him, and far too willing, far too desiring, desiring to give and receive love, to give and receive attention, to give and receive the warmth and familiarity of connections. So, he led a good life, definitely financially speaking and simply in terms of quality, he was probably annoying for some, and probably avoided the very centre of palace life, because I can see him not wanting to have as much to do with royalty anymore.
-. Are there certain things in the past that he wishes could be available in the modern world, or is he fully comfortable with what's at hand? Shin is the sentimental type. I’m not even headcanoning it, and even if he attempts to hide it, he usually does an awful job at hiding just how much he cares and how much things affect him. He’s very loud and almost obnoxious at times in his reactions, he explains himself the same way a child might at times, he’s excitable, and he doesn’t feel shame to show Saja how much it matters to him, what impression he’d make in front of Eun-tak. He cares, and while vocal admittances are usually reserved for those very serious moments, he’s always proving just how sentimental he is. So, I would say, it’s a yes to both those alternatives. First the latter: yes, he’s fully comfortable with what’s at hand, because the modern world simply has so much to offer that he enjoys. Even if he doesn’t understand it or make regular use of it, you can see him move about the modern world rather comfortably, learn about any new customs, institutions, or ways of living. He keeps himself up to date (the business card thing, I swear-), he likes to tap into new passions and likes. And at the same time, he loves the world he came from. I always feel like, compared to perhaps Hyun, who I’m mentioning here because you know him which makes comparison easier (;3), who doesn’t feel himself to belong in any particular era but rather to existence as a whole, whenever I watch Shin, he’s extremely self-aware of the fact that his time on Earth has long ‘expired’. Other than the fact that he literally should have died back in Goryeo, one of the things that kind of fortifies this idea for me is what Shin looks like when he does actually die (and then returns): he’s dressed in the same clothes he wore when he ‘died’ in Goryeo. Shin’s soul seems to belong to Goryeo still, and as such, the life he’d led at the time (now, personal interpretation) somehow feels like The life, his life, while all the centuries that followed had been the extension. The culture, the habits, the food, the garments, anything, honestly, that belongs to Goryeo feels as if it’s something Shin knows, things he grew up with, things that shaped him, that was his time, and the modern world, Joseon, they’re times he’s visiting, even if it’s against his will. That’s the vibes I get. And I realise this answer is perhaps a little too much in contrast to the question :’3
-. How would he feel if a particular gumiho suddenly hugged him from behind? 👀 Oh YEAH- Now, I could answer this question by dipping into what we’ve seen Shin do in the canon in romantic scenarios/romantic-coded scenes, but I don’t want to. Because I don’t want to recycle reactions and demeanour he portrayed for/relating to Eun-tak, I want to explore what he does, and who he is, in the particular world that is verse 4 (because, this is a particular verse for Shin as well, since Yeo’s the bride <w<). SO, the reaction obviously always depends on what stage of their relationship they’re in <w< In the canon, he usually startles when Saja does anything remotely romantic(-coded?) (well, safe for some scenes where he looks a little surprised but not displeased-), but in my boat- Circumstances are different, Yeo/the person is different, and they’ve been interacting differently. I think at a point in time in which nothing has been said but a lot has perhaps been done and/or hinted at, insinuated, he’d probably startle and not really know what to do with himself. The worry that this is just a fox-antic meant to tease him or poke fun at him might be small, but very much present, so he’d just try to play it off with some lame line, half-jokingly insinuating Yeo’s being sweet because he wants something, or even straight up interpret it as Yeo holding onto him because he stumbled and Shin was just... there, to hold onto to so he doesn’t have to fall flat on his face. Have things been... discussed though, honestly, we know sometimes Shin acts like a shy virgin, which is honestly adorable, and he might even act that way a little bit in this scenario where he just has that goofy smile on his face and is doing that flustered shifty eyes thing, but I also like to think that the moment Yeo’s arms are around him, Shin just.. laughs. Like, a warm, heartful chuckle, as he leans back into Yeo’s chest and just kind of leans his head back and turns it enough to be able to look at Yeo, give him a silly flirty one-liner, maybe try to get a kiss out of hi- Or he’ll end up turning around in his arms still to grab his face and SMOOCH HIM- Might be vary slightly depending on what Shin’s doing, but this is the gist of it, yet, no matter what, sMOOCH FINALE-

(abandoned) it’s late, just stay
john wick / reader genre: sugar daddy au rating: general, mature themes words: 2.4k warnings: sugar daddy relationship, slight john wick 2 spoilers i guess a/n: this 1 is for me. i wrote her in a heat,,,she’s literally not finished. but im adding her to my online portfolio 4 the memories. Also fyi the profile was made before i indulged in seeking arrangements and as a sugar baby i know that ur not allowed to mention 90% of brooklynbaby’s bio in ur bio but who cares man this is fiction and im making it up
At that, she tossed her head back with a laugh and leant forward. “And since when are sugar babies a relationship status?”
Tumblr media
Sometimes, John doesn’t really know how he gets himself into awkward situations.
The first few occasions, he figured it was merely a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While, actually, this always worked out in his favour, John began to notice that it was more frequent that he ended up at a bar with some people he didn’t really know, or being invited to a baby shower as the date of a woman he had never even met before. Granted, John enjoyed company whenever he could get it, and whenever it avoided conflict; however socialism has never been his strongest asset. No, he simply prefers silent gestures or glances across rooms, ‘eye conversations’ where he says hello and nothing else for the remainder of the evening.
“You just need to loosen up a bit,” is what Addy had told him, whilst slipping him a glass of straight Bourbon. It had been a relatively quiet evening in the Continental, and just when John thought he could have five minutes of peace and quiet, Addy has slipped in his line of sight. “You know, go out. Make new friends.”
“You’re my friend,” John replied. He made no room to elaborate on that statement, swallowing the contents of the drink and pushing it back to her with a short nod. She sighed and rolled her eyes, doing her job.
“No, you know what you really need?” He didn’t answer, glancing at her through his hair as she filled his drink and rested her weight on her elbows. Instantly, John didn’t like the feeling in his stomach when Addy raised her eyebrows suggestively, tugging on her bottom lip with newfound excitement: “I think you need to get laid.” 
And when John scoffed with humour, she tried again, “and not like, laid as in you have a one night stand. No- hear me out, John! You should invest in a sugar baby. You know, someone you can spend time with when you’re not doing the dirty work for everybody else. It’s fun, and frisky, and also means you can start spending some of the millions you have stashed somewhere not being used.”
She tutted like a scolding mother, “Selfish boy.” Addy then smiled, “Maybe instead of retirement, what you really need is something to help you unwind.”
John scoffed, gulping back the Bourbon. “I’m married.”
At that, she tossed her head back with a laugh and leant forward. “And since when are sugar babies a relationship status?”
That’s really all the thinking he had done on the subject of John- John fucking Wick- investing in a sugar baby. He simply took it in stride, almost complimented by the assumption that he was attractive and rich enough to have someone leaning on him for money and sex, and stored it away for future thought when he was lost and drunk. John never actually considered the possibility of “putting his bills to good use” until fucking Santino D’Antonio decided to light a bonfire inside his house. Having lost virtually everything related to Helen, he found himself back at the Continental, back to listening to Addy sympathetically give her condolences and five seconds later, introducing him to Seeking Arrangements.
Tumblr media
John doesn’t know why he’s doing this, staring at the laptop screen that smiles at him. For circumstances, Addy had loaned him her laptop for the evening he spends at the Continental, and he’s too busy browsing the elaborately made profiles that he barely registers the fact that he is still wearing his suit. He pulls at the cuffs of his blazer and is midway through taking it off when he stumbles across a profile- one of which is oddly amusing- titled brooklynbaby. He racks his mind for the reference but can’t seem to place it.
“A sugar baby suggests that I sleep with them, and as I said,” John had mentioned back in the bar, “I’m married.”
Addy had grabbed his hands and groaned, “Look- you might surprise yourself. And, I’m not suggesting that you throw your wife away for somebody new. I’m just saying you need to...make use of yourself. Honestly, you’re too sexy to be stored away like this. Most sugar babies are dumb and unobservant, they won’t even know who you are.”
brooklynbaby makes an adorably hilarious first impression, and John is hesitant to browse her profile. If he wanted to “make use of himself” by investing all of his personal time into somebody who in truth wanted him for his dick and his bank balance, then it needed to be somebody at least near to his wavelength. Somebody who was smart, but clueless at the same time, and somebody who was the complete opposite of Helen. The last thing he needed on top of a handful of a baby was the guilt of moving on. But still, even when he pinned her tab and returned to scrolling through the profiles, John realised that most sugar babies were simply trolls hidden behind pretty pictures, or girls who wanted money for pleasure and not for need.
He went back to brooklynbaby. Three times. Three times, before he pinched the bridge of his nose, muttering a quiet, “Oh, fuck it,” and favoriting her account, and pressing to send a message.
Tumblr media
Even online, John was never great with words. He typed, and backspaced, and typed again, trying to come up with something interesting to make up for the bland profile he made around thirty minutes ago.
From: johnwick So. You like dogs?
If Addy were here, she would have slapped him.
Almost immediately after it sends, John lets out a frustrated noise and tears his gaze away from the screen. Dating just wasn’t like how it was when he met Helen. Why did everything have to be so complicated, and mysterious, and why the hell does he even have to waste his money on somebody when he could be saving this money to eventually, whenever the day comes, retire? John wrestles with the dilemma of deleting the whole account when a notification bell rings through the laptop speakers.
From: brooklynbaby yes, I love dogs!!! :D (typing) do you have a dog?
John breathes a sigh of relief.
From: johnwick Yes. I do.
From: brooklynbaby oh, great. :) (typing)
John’s leg begins to bounce quickly, the table wavering with the glass on top, like an earthquake. Suddenly, brooklynbaby stops typing and John stills. Why did she stop? Did he do something wrong? Honestly, women are so hard to please nowadays.
From: brooklynbaby want to be my sugar daddy?
Never mind.
From: johnwick I would.
From: brooklynbaby cool
Neither him or brooklynbaby says anything for a few moments, and John doesn’t notice. After-all, he is still a working man, busy with life and revenge and trying to stay alive for more than three seconds. When he goes back to the laptop and sees no reply, he frowns.
From: johnwick I am sorry. I really don’t know what I’m doing. What am I supposed to say?
He makes a mental reminder to have words with Addy later.
From: brooklynbaby /(*u*)/ you’re cute we could make dinner reservations and talk over terms if you’d like!!! i say reservations because they’re fancy and if anything goes wrong, we can pretend we’re… business partners? discussing business?
Without even really realising, John finds himself laughing shortly, settling back into the chair. All of this feels weird, as in typing to a stranger he’s planning to spend his money on and occasionally fuck. John quickly revisits her profile and spends four minutes analysing her profile picture. If this is her, then she’s really very beautiful. A steal.
From: johnwick When are you free for dinner?
From: brooklynbaby hmm well i’m dogsitting tomorrow, but i can be free for the day after!!!! is that okay ^_^
From: johnwick That would be fine. [Address] at 7pm, does that work for you?
brooklynbaby pauses.
From: brooklynbaby omg am i gonna have to dress fancy?
From: johnwick Don’t feel pressured. I only own black.
From: brooklynbaby well….guess i’ll bring out like one of my old uni party dresses :( but you have to promise not to judge me!!!
John laughs again. At some point during the evening, he ends up with a planned dinner reservation at one of the most expensive restaurants in Brooklyn, and he’s also 2 grand poorer thanks to the generous donation in brooklynbaby’s bank account for a nice evening outfit.
Tumblr media
When John returns the laptop to Addy the following morning, he was admittedly expecting the rant that followed. She had glared at the laptop being handed back over the bar and refused to serve him until he came up with a reasonably valid excuse as to why he wasn’t putting himself out there for a bit of company. John had blinked with an unimpressed look and drummed his fingers.
“I have dinner reservations with someone tomorrow at 7pm. Also- can I have a drink?”
But of course, with work being as tedious as ever and with his whole day being completely ruined by a blood stained shirt and poor room service for the first time in his many years of frequenting the Continental, John didn’t amuse himself with brooklynbaby until he logged onto the site on his phone, and saw that she had messaged thrice during the day. He almost felt guilty, until he saw a string of numbers at the end of the last message. He deemed it less necessary to read her above messages and instead went right to texting.
brooklynbaby ok. so should i just ask for mr john wick when i get to this restaurant??? sorry for so many texts im just kinda nervous
me Yes. I booked under my name and I will be waiting for you when you arrive. Why are you nervous? Didn’t you ask me to be here?
brooklynbaby well if we’re going to be technical then YOU asked me to dinner first :P and im nervous because i have nooo idea who you are send a picture?
John sank into bed.
me Maybe I like the element of surprise.
brooklynbaby seems a lil unfair that you get to see me but i dont get to see you :( ive seen ur dog before you thats saying something
me You could have used any image. If we’re going to be technical, I don’t even know your name, or if that is really you in the image.
John really hadn’t been expecting a full blown nude image at 4:15pm in the afternoon, but he will admit that it was nevertheless what he needed to break some steam. He had arrived at the restaurant twenty minutes earlier than expected, but that’s okay, Mr Wick. Right this way! Now that he was sitting here, at an empty table overlooking Brooklyn and the lights, with an already ordered bottle of wine, John could understand and relate to the first date nerves. He hadn’t felt this way in a long time. Not since-
brooklynbaby uhhh im kind of here like ten minutes early should i wait outside for you :3
He laughs, mostly to himself.
me I’m already up here. I ordered a rosé, is that alright?
brooklynbaby YES IM RUNNING
And, surprising himself also, John had clammed up and reached for his glass. Thankfully, the owner of this restaurant knew John by face and order, because, after-all, this had been his go-to with Helen. These days, he doesn’t have time to go out to new places and eat new things, and so had panicked, and picked a place with sentimental value, and a history of good food. He gulped back his glass of Bourbon and waited until the door at the other side of the room opened meekly, and he tried to appear vacant as the waiter led a woman across the room and towards him.
“Your date, Mr Wick.”
He left curtly and brooklynbaby followed his body as he left, her feet firmly glued to the floor as her head looked back over her shoulder. John took this as an opportunity to look at her body, covered in a beautiful dress he felt proud of paying for. Finally, brooklynbaby looked towards him and paused, observing him and his clearly surprising appearance. John then remembered the gash on his cheekbone and the way he probably looked very off-putting with an unshaven face and long hair, but brooklynbaby smiled softly and raised her brows, beating him to helping her in her chair as she quickly sat down and looked at his glass.
“How did you know I liked beards?”
John didn’t say anything for a moment. “I didn’t.”
brooklynbaby rolled her eyes with a grin. “Of course you didn’t.” She looked up, then, properly taking in his face. John did the same, looking at every feature present and coming to the quick conclusion that yes, she was definitely the woman in the pictures, and yes, she was one of the most gorgeous humans he had ever seen on planet Earth since Helen herself.
“You’re not what I expected,” she said honestly. “But, more than my expectations. I don’t believe I’ve really introduced myself- I’m Y/N. Y/N L/N.”
He tried it out in his head. Y/N. Y/N L.N, Y/N L/N, Y/N Wick-
“John,” he replied and she sniggered and rested her chin in her palms.
“You’re seriously so handsome,” she complimented. “Are you sure you’re not married, or something?”
Her gaze panned to his hands where she noticed the wedding band, and for a moment, she hesitated. John wasn’t ashamed of the ring, nor embarrassed to be seen wearing it. He toyed with it on his finger, looking at her from across the table. “It’s complicated.”
Y/N nodded meekly. “I see.” She cleared her throat, “divorce? Planned divorce? Affair?”
“No, I’m widowed,” he tried out a joke, but she only looked more uncomfortable. Her mouth gaped and she fumbled for words.
“Oh, John, I’m really sorry- no, really, I’m so sorry,” she stumbled, and John watched her carefully across the table. “God, how fucking insensitive. Sorry, I guess that just. Wow, that never really crossed my mind. That sucks, I’m sorry.”
“It’s in the past,” John said, finding finality in that sentence. “I’m trying to move on from it.”
Y/N nodded sympathetically. “No, yeah, wow, I get it. Completely. I...hope I live up to great expectations, then?”
John smiled and looked past her, noticing the waiter rounding the corner with the bottle of rose. “You’re getting there, Miss L/N.”

ALSO!!! the footwork in senses choreo???? i liked it sm <3 yugyeom makes it look so easy to move like that?!?
same jdjdkddk godddd sometimes it takes a month to complete a drama which i like and started on my own will and sometimes it only takes 3 days. it doesn't matter how much i love something if i won't watch it, then I won't watch or consume it at all 💀.

mtmte liveblog issue 28
catch me completely ignoring dark cybertron lmao
yeahhhh so I'm just gonna skip dark cybertron bc no thanks. I did read the tf wiki articles for the issues tho, which is more than I did in the past, so at least now I kinda know what happened, though I had to suffer thru reading about dark cybertron to learn stuff about it. yikes. reading ABOUT dark cybertron further enforced my decision to not actually read thru it
anyways. the best part of dark cybertron was when chromedome threw prowl off that cliff. that was baller lmfao
a 1 page recap of dark cybertron is about all I can handle. thank you
ooh, the 6 months later smash-cut, I fucking love itttt
nautica’s here!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy I love her. also brainstorm, and I love their friendship sm
hvbjdkhfbshdfj god I love them. they have such a fun dynamic 
everyone eavesdropping on a therapy session vhbhdjkhafbhkjsdf. hipaa laws mean nothing as usual 
the casual reveal of captain megatron, oh god 
the title fucking slaps, as usual. this is one of my favorites - ‘world, shut your mouth.’ great stuff, and a song title/reference to boot! and this being part 1: towards peace...chefs kiss
and then we flash back to 6 months earlier...yknow now that I'm rereading this, mtmte has a LOT of framing devices used - there's story-within-a-story, flashback/flash-forwards, storytelling with narration, etc...I love it
god hbvhjakdfbshjkdf rodimus saying ‘magic’ and then the little *magic = science rodimus doesn't understand HBGKJHSDBFKHJSDF my idiot boy ily
rodimus roasting prowl is my fav hbfjdkafshsbjkf ‘maybe the knights can help us find a cure for your personality’ ily sm
and then prowl agreeing w/rodimus a few panels later about megatron’s guilt...
optimus...don't you think that making yourself chief of justice is...maybe a bad idea...like, maybe there's a conflict of interests here...just a little bit of bias...a bit too much history, perhaps...
the fact that all the big roles in the trial were given to high-ranking autobots who were heavily involved in the war...I see that cybertrons justice system is as much of a farce as their medical ethics and patient confidentiality laws 
the ‘you BROKE the MATRIX’ panel is so good bjhkdhfbajskhdf
rodimus: LISTEN dad I just wanna resume my space cruise with my frat bro ship I have no interest in politics
psychiatrists HATE him! local former warlord refuses to recognize the validity of psychological analyzation of people’s actions
ravage casually breaking hipaa laws and chilling in megatron’s therapy session like >:3
I love rung...he’s so good at like, passive-aggressively cutting right to the heart of someone’s issues, and he’s so generally mild that you can’t even really get mad at him 
the sudden inclusion of megatron as a major character in mtmte is kinda jarring at first - mostly, for me at least, due in part because I didn't read dark cybertron so this is like, megatron’s introduction as a relevant character in general - but I feel like jro does a great job laying a lot of intrigue down from the very beginning w/his character - like, I already want to know more about what his whole deal is, even though we have, ostensibly, seen pretty much all of his story play out already 
rung name-dropping froid...i remember that made me lose my shit bc cmon. FROID....jesus christ
rung and megatron: holy shit! we’re suddenly being drawn in a 90s-esque sci-fi tron-looking retro-futuristic style!
interesting that megatron sought rung out, and not the other way around
RIPTIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my favorite sharkboy is HERE
CREWDITIONS...YES....
‘we’re not allowed to take anyone who might remind rodimus of prowl’ vhbhjdkshfbhaskfd brutal
I love nautica so so much. a perfect autistic scientist after my own heart
I adore that nautica brought chromia along for moral support
hgvbjdakhfbhsj and then swerve saying that rodimus hates ‘trisyllabic names’ and nautica is like....but....‘rodimus’.....
and then nightbeat busts in to get all bbc sherlock on they asses hgbfhjadkfbjaskdf
WHY was perceptor at the crewditions if he was already part of the crew lmao
ooof, and then we have megatron flipping out when chromedome, a mnemosurgeon, shows up
also damn the autobots were rlly like okay so we wanna speed this trial up so lets just like, probe megatrons brain, that seems completely ethical, especially when you consider the history of shadowplay and stuff that our previous government had
I know important stuff is happening but megatron is holding a CUBE and I love CUBES so I'm distracted by that. C U B E
and then right after a scene where we see chromedome willing to perform mnemosurgery again - despite rewind’s like, dying wish for him not to - we hear that he’s been locked up in his room rewatching rewinds goodbye message over and over again :( I'm fucking depressed
I love nightbeat, he’s so funny and kind of an asshole
and then you see more missing letters behind them next panel...clearly nightbeat is right and there’s a mystery afoot...OR somebody is fucking with the ship’s lettering as a prank, which is a plot point I would absolutely buy
yeahhhh skids is right, chromedome is clearly Not dealing 
the dramatic graffiti on megatrons door...I wanna know who spray-painted ‘die’ everywhere like they're reaper overwatch
oh god. whirl vs megatron
really cool red lighting tho
GOD its so brutal, all the stuff megatron said about how he told the cons not to kill whirl...and doesn't that end up being false anyways? so he was just saying it to dig at whirl, which is awful
also I'm never over the fact that literally everyone - including megatron and whirl - blames whirl for ‘turning megatron violent,’ as if the entire Point isn't that whirl was a tool for a corrupt system, and if it wasn't whirl it would've just been someone else, and megatron turning away from pacifism was inevitable given the circumstances, AND also a choice on his part, so he really only has himself to blame for his OWN ACTIONS
bye bye whirls right arm, see you in lost light 
‘people never stop changing’ that IS something I say all the time...damn you warlord grandpa! how can you steal my philosophies?!
ohhh man and then rewind’s goodbye message being different....oooh
AUGH the fact that whirl was basically trying to goad megatron into killing him, just like he did in issue 1 w/cyclonus...It Hurts Man
also I do love the hint at who he’s talking to w/whirl shooting megatron with the bow and arrow earlier, and we know that atomizer is a fan of those
ok, but here’s where my philosophy diverges - megatron talks about throwing away his past and starting new, but I think that you have to learn from and build on your past...either way, megatron’s arc is one that I enjoy greatly from a character writing standpoint, and I'm excited to get it underway, especially w/how controversial it is lmao
big ole double-page spread...I like how you can pick out individual characters in the background crowd, which is crazy cause that's a LOT of people. also how come cosmos is so HUGE
phewwww 4.6 billion cybertronians died in the war, that’s INSANE. that's like, an incomprehensibly huge number. is there an estimate for their current population? I bet its not a lot. no wonder jro leaned into reproductive themes so much in mtmte/ll - of course the continuation of your species would be a concern for many if your numbers have been that greatly reduced
optimus w/his fancy tyrest-lookin crown
oughdajbfsbdf and the fact that megatron ALSO murdered 100 BILLION non-cybertronians...bruh. I feel like they maybe should've dialed those numbers back a little to allow his ‘redemption arc’ to run a little smoother lmao. but also I admire the commitment either way
and then we end w/megatron doing captain stuff, and seeing The Coffin...and we never did see rodimus in any of the flash-forward parts of this issue, did we???? I love how concerning that is. where's my BOY
also of course we gotta remember the warning from way back at the beginning of mtmte: ‘don't open the coffin’....
and so begins mtmte s2! man I love s2. I love mtmte in general lmao. s2 takes on the impossible w/the whole ‘megatron redemption arc’ thing, and I know that’s like, a divisive plot point and stuff, but from a writing standpoint I enjoyed it a lot...I think it was pretty much as well done as it could've been given the enormity of the task, and I thought it was a really interesting direction for the story to go in 
also espec if it’s true that hasbro was like ‘hey jro put megatron in your story and give him a redemption arc’ rather than jro like, planning/asking to do it 
anyways. I doubt ill talk much abt the disc horse(tm) here bc this is just for fun and also my own personal opinions and whatever, but I for one am excited to reexperience this stuff 
so yeah s2 off to a strong start with some wild shit already happening! cant wait to read more!

we can stay here (and laugh away the fear)
93. “i believe in you” requested by no-one i just really wanted to do this one in which amy's confidence takes a knock and jake whips out the official jake peralta fiancé experience guide to help her out. (pre 5x15)
read on ao3 -
Something is bothering Amy.
Jake goes over the facts one more time in his head, sneaking a furtive glance at his fiancée over the top of his computer screen – his first clue was when she came out of Holt’s office twenty minutes ago with a slight slump in her shoulders, a blatant violation of the “Posture” section of her mentorship binder.
She’s taking twice as long as usual to do her paperwork and it doesn’t even look like she’s enjoying it. Her brows are furrowed and her lips pursed in this totally adorable yet slightly worrying way and she’s tapping absentmindedly on her desk in thirty-second increments, meaning she’s desperate for a shame cigarette. Conclusive evidence that something is stressing her out.
(The thing that’s stressing her out might be him seeing as he’s been bragging about a major drug bust he just pulled off for most of the morning; but he also brought her coffee and did the dishes last night and laundry mountain is now more of a laundry molehill, so he’s pretty sure he’s in the clear.)
They don’t call him Jacob Sherlock Peralta for nothing (no-one calls him that, but he’s still confident it’ll catch on eventually). And though he can’t figure out what it is just yet, he’s determined to solve the case of why the love of his life can’t even enjoy her paperwork.
To: Amy Santiago, 12:23 u ok? need a break???
He tries to act as nonchalant as possible but can’t bring himself to miss the tiny smile that flickers on her face upon seeing the text. He pretends to be absorbed in the criminal database he’s scouring while he waits for his phone to buzz.
From: Amy Santiago, 12:24 I’m fine.
He shoots her an overdramatic disbelieving look over his monitor and she rolls her eyes.
From: Amy Santiago, 12:24 Okay, maybe not totally fine. Can we talk? x
To: Amy Santiago, 12:25 meet me in evidence lockup 5 mins x
She’s there when he quietly closes the door behind him a few minutes later; it causes such a strong swell of deja vu, memories of so, a lot of change around here and more recently Jake Peralta, I will marry you that it almost overwhelms him. So he does what he always does.
“Thought I might find you in here.” He jokes – she laughs a little but her body language is so tightly wound that he moves almost on pure instinct to give her a hug. The way the tension instantly disappears from her frame as she buries her face in his shirt tells him he must be doing something right.
“You okay?” He says softly, pressing a kiss to her forehead; she looks up at him, hands still snaked neatly around his waist, and he’d let all the criminals in holding walk free if it would make her feel better.
(Not that it would – he’s never been that good with metaphors, but the sentiment remains.)
“Fine. Really, I just…I needed this.”
“You sure?” He asks, and he can tell when he only gets a sigh in response that he’s going to have to break out the Official Jake Peralta Fiancé Experience Guide to Comforting Amy Santiago, The Greatest Woman In The Universe. (The title still needs some work.)
“It’s just…the results of the sergeant’s exam come out this week. Holt just told me.”
“Oh.” He says, trying to connect the dots. “That’s a good thing, though, right? You’ve been waiting for ages - and you totally aced that test, Ames.”
“Yeah. Maybe.” She shakes her head, biting her lip. “I just can’t help thinking – what if I don’t get it?” He prepares a reprisal of the speech he made that day on the roof, but she continues. “And what if I do, and I can’t handle it? What if it’s way too much work or my squad doesn’t respect me or I get transferred or…“ It’s a spiral, he realises – a knock to her confidence that breaks his heart a little.
Fortunately, it’s also something he knows exactly how to handle, and it involves one of his top five favourite activities.
“Have I ever told you,” Jake says as he takes her hands in his, “that you are perfect?”
Amy predictably rolls her eyes at his blatant cheesiness, but the hint of a smile that appears on her face is more than enough fuel for him to keep going.
“Well, you are. Perfect! Perfecter than perfect.”
“It’s more perfect, babe.” She says, and a million years ago in 2013 he’s wearing ill-fitting sandals and Captain Holt is disappointed in him and Jake just wants to find a way to rip through the very fabric of space and time, grab his past self by the shoulders and tell him that using correct grammar is going to get him some of the best sex in his life in the future so he better start learning now.
(And also, as an afterthought, that everything is going to be okay.)
“Actually, no.” He grins, shit-eating Peralta special. “Because in the language that I just made up, perfecter is actually more perfect that more perfect. Perfecter than perfect is a special term invented for the light of my life, the most amazing woman in the history of the universe, Amy Santiago.”
She prods him lightly in the shoulder, now completely failing to tamper down a warm smile. “Dork.”
“Queen of the cosmos. The one true love of my life. Divine goddess of wisdom and beauty.” He punctuates every new fancy title he gives her with a kiss – one to her neck, one to her jaw, one to her cheek, and gains a great sense of satisfaction from the way she melts into him, humming in content.
He initially thinks he’s won this round, but she still looks way too stressed out, exercising a relatively new nervous habit that makes his heart stutter – twisting the engagement ring on her finger.  
“You don’t believe me.” He pouts and she sighs, briefly retreating someplace he can’t follow her. When she finally returns his gaze she’s all dark doe eyes and he’s sure there’s space somewhere in his Addams Family themed wedding vow rap for one more promise; a commitment to convincing her she’s more than enough for the rest of his life.
“Nobody’s perfect, Jake.”
“Yeah, no doy. That’s why you’re perfecter than perfect, obviously.”
“I just…I worry, you know? I feel like I need to prove myself.”
“I know. But Ames, you have proven yourself a billion trillion times over. I told you when I proposed, you’re the best detective I know…and there’s no-one else that deserves this more and no-one else that is going to be a better sergeant than you are.”
“Thank you for being perfect.”
“I am flawless, yes.” He grins, but it soon turns into something softer. “I believe in you 100%, okay, babe? You’re going to be an amazing leader.”
“I love you.”
“Love you too. I also feel like the word perfect is beginning to lose all meaning.”
“Oh, there’s a name for that!” She pauses, lost in thought, and sometimes he wishes you could take package holidays in other people’s brains just because he’d love to walk among the endless bookshelves of infinite knowledge in hers, and sometimes he just gets lost in endless endearment for how much of a nerd his fiancée is. This time is definitely the latter.
She snaps her fingers after a moment, eyes bright – “Semantic satiation!”
“That’s so hot.” He smirks, and he’s only half joking. They share a chaste, probably work-appropriate kiss – Jake’s tempted to deepen it, but also not totally convinced that the ghost of Dozerman isn’t frowning down upon them right now so decides to keep it PG. It doesn’t matter anyway – they’re soon rudely interrupted by a loud rap on the door which makes them both jump apart.
“You two horndogs finished being gross in there? I need a case file.”
They both answer with similar cries of indignation and disgust, which just elicits a sharp laugh from Rosa.
“Whatever. Just tell me when you’re done.” She walks away, and Jake laughs at the shade of red Amy has turned, earning him a well-deserved punch in the shoulder.
“So, you wanna get lunch? I happen to know a polish place recommended by a pretty dope soon-to-be sergeant.” Her face lights up and in just a few short months they’re going to be married and Jake has never been more excited for the rest of his life to start.
“Sounds perfect.”

If Wishes Came True (Chapter 4)
Title: If Wishes Came True Chapter IV: Killer on the Loose Pt.II
Fandom: BBC Robin Hood
Ships: Guy of Gisborne/Original Female Character, Guy of Gisborne/Marian of Knighton, Original Female Character/Original Male Character
Definately an AU - Sir Guy of Gisborne has served the current Sheriff of Nottingham for five years prior to the beginning of the first season, and is considered a part of the family, both by Vaisey and his daughter Valerie. The chapters are from Val’s POV, as she struggles to maintain her youthful innocence in a place that’s all too willing to steal it away from her, and navigate the intrigues of her father. [Many changes from the show, although the fic loosely follows season 1]
Important Note: English is not my first language, so I’d appreciate if you can point out any mistakes I make.
On AO3
Tumblr: Ch I, Ch II, Ch III
Valerie had never seen the guards being so agitated; they ran from corner to corner, checking even the cracks on the walls. That a stone cold killer was hiding in their midst unnerved her; Lady Marian’s stay was also suspicious – Sir Edward was forced into an early retirement, in favor of Vaisey of Nottingham. Maybe her grievances were extended to her person, as well.
The situation laid heavily on Valerie’s soul – on the one hand, she was afraid of the elusive killer who had escaped her father’s justice. On the other, Valerie had made the decision to keep a close watch of Marian. What better way to do that, than to ask for the pleasure of her company in this dire time?
Lady Marian had agreed, and so the two women strolled about with two handpicked guards to protect them should the need arise.
“Your father believes it is Robin Hood is responsible for yesterday’s attack?” Lady Marian asked. Valerie contemplated her answer; the spring air carried the scent of flowers in bloom, and the sunshine felt warm on her face. It was easy to get distracted in such a rare spring morning. Lady Marian seemed to have little patience for it, though. “Lady Valerie,” she said tartly. “Are you not listening?”
Valerie clicked her tongue. “I heard you,” she quipped. “I have thought it over, and again in my head. That Robin Hood is the assaulter, is about the only thing that makes sense.”
Marian was not completely satisfied with her companion’s answer. “Yes, but why? What is it that makes you think he is the culprit?” She pressed.
“Well, I have seen the murderous look in his eyes myself, when he aimed an arrow to my father’s heart.” Valerie offered. “Furthermore, the use of bow and arrow rather gives up his identity. And he knows how to move around this castle unseen. As I said, it makes sense.”
Lady Marian shook her head in disbelief. Why are you so keen on discrediting the facts? Then, Valerie braved a question she wouldn’t otherwise dare to ask.
“You were once betrothed to the man, isn’t that right?”
The older woman paled and Valerie wondered why. It wasn’t a secret, and if it was, it was a poorly kept one. “I-I…Yes. It was a long time ago, and we broke off the engagement when he went to war.”
The younger one lowered her head. “Did you not believe that he would come back?” she asked in a low voice. Her thoughts strayed to Sir Guy, her brother in all but blood. Had she never worried about his well-being while he was off doing her father’s bidding? Had she not cried in the privacy of her bedchamber, when days had gone by and no news of him had reached them?
Valerie had done all these things and more for a man who wasn’t even promised to her. She remembered how her heart ached, making it impossible to sleep. When she was younger, she had told herself that she felt this way because Sir Guy was the closest thing to a brother, and a friend. As of lately, she had found herself to be mistaken.
It was Marian’s voice that brought her back the solid earth and the grim present. “I guess I did not want a man that would choose war over me, and he thought it his duty to release me.”
Yes, Valerie thought. I can understand that.
“May I ask you a question, Lady Valerie?”
She nodded. “Your lord father, he is not particularly fond of women. I have heard him speak with less than favorable terms of them. But what about your mother?” Marian’s inquiry took Valerie by surprise. It was an attempt to change the painful subject of being discarded in favor of warmongering.
“Oh, he loved my mother, there is no question about it. He often told me that the only other woman he would give his heart to would be I. He kept true to his word, even as the fancy ladies lined up, seeking his approval.” Valerie recalled with a smile on her face. A strange time, it was, when her father was first proclaimed a sheriff. He had barely spared them a look.
“What happened to her?” Marian asked with genuine interest. She has lost her mother, too. Valerie reminded herself.
This was an old, painful memory Valerie tried to conjure. She was burning with fever at the time, and she was really young. She only remembers her mother’s coughs, and the blood that trickled from her mouth.
“She suffered a very bad case of consumption,” Valerie started. “I was four or five, at the time and suffering from this malady myself, although my bout was much milder. She died a few weeks after, while I was still bedridden, but well on the road of recovery.”
Marian offered her sympathies. “I never got to know my mother,” she said, sadness heavily laced in her voice. “She died from childbed fever.
“I am very sorry,” Valerie offered, patting Marian’s back. Marian’s answer was a smile. “Shall we start back? Lunch will be served soon.”
“Yes,” Marian said. “I am very hungry.” A giggle escaped her, and Valerie mimicked her, musing on her feelings about this very strange woman. She has charm in abundance, Valerie’s mind supplied. No wonder Guy is so taken with her.
They made their way to the castle courtyard, their hands adjoint, their spirits a little lighter. It all changed when they neared the steps.
The familiar woosh of an arrow flying was heard. A grunt of pain from behind them; one of the guards had been shot straight at the neck, the wooden shaft protruding. Valerie saw him gurgle on his own blood, and turned her head away. She did not like the sight of blood. Their other guard drew his sword, but he was rendered useless when another arrow hit him on his sword arm. He screamed in pain and dropped his sword.
“Go!” Valerie shouted to Marian, grabbing the sword of the dead guard. “Now,” and the women raced up their stairs, holding their skirts. “We should split,” Valerie suggested. “I’ll go this way.” Without waiting for a response, she ran. She just hoped Marian would know to hide, since she isn’t the killer, apparently.
The sight of a guard a few paces away was a welcoming sight. “Guard!” She shouted with all the authority her status gave her – she was after all, the lady of this castle. “Raise the alarm. Hood is here!” She was frantically panting, her breath winded from all the running, and her chest burning from the spring dust. She had survived consumption, but long-lasting effects still remained with her.
The guard had not move, instead he just examined her. She was close enough to him by now, her mind slowly settling in. “Are you deaf? I told you to sound th-“
The gleam of steel flashed before her eyes. The guard was raising his sword to her. By instinct, the forgotten blade in her hand was raised to block the violent assault. He seemed surprised, as if he was not expecting her to be able to defend herself. She thanked Guy and his lessons, they might just keep her alive for a few moments longer.
Taken aback as he was, he was also quite determined to kill her. Valerie used the little time she had to correct her stance, to better face the traitor. She hadn’t been taught any offensive moves, but a loyal guard might come to help her. Then, a flurry of attacks hit her one after the other. Most she parried, albeit with much strain, others she blocked, and some slipped by her, despite her best of efforts. Still, there was no sight of help.
She held her sword with two hands now, because her right hand – her sword arm, Guy’s voice supplied – was tired and burning from the exertion. This was not as she had practiced in the abandoned side of the stable with Guy. He had been going easy on her, all this time.
Her breathing was heavy, too heavy. It made her head with swim. Still, she could not give up now. She was Vaisey’s daughter, and if there was one thing her father had taught her was to never give u-
She felt the blunt of the blade hit her straight on the side of her head. She was engulfed in darkness before she hit the ground.
***
When she came around, she was lain on a very uncomfortable kind of bed – too narrow, with no mattress or pillows. Her head ached as if the whole castle had fallen upon her and the buzzing of voices didn’t help.
A grunt escaped, attracting their attention.
Her father’s voice was the first she heard closely to her ear – somebody had come to save her, after all. “Hush, darling, you will be alright. The physician had assured me. Just some cuts and bruises, is all.”
“Father,” she said and opened her eyes. There he was, standing upon her, his hands cradling hers, the concern written all over his face.
Just as her head was relishing the sudden quiet, the thunderous voice of Guy was demanding answers.
“What is going on here? Three people have been killed under your nose!” he demanded. Curious, Valerie raised her head a little – it was Sir Marcus that Guy was raging against.
The master-at-arms was cool in his response. “It is unfortunate.”
“Unfortunate?!” Guy was now seething with the eerie quiet menace. “Valerie’s life was in peril and you call that unfortunate? It is incompetent!”
“And what have you achieved, so far?” the other man challenged. “You have discovered a food storage, some layabout outlaws roaming the woods, a few hastily ridden off horses, but Hood is still on the loose.”
“At least I have found something! And I have not endangered the lives of those in this castle”
“Stop it, you couple of women!” Her father hissed. “Be rest assured, Gisborne, that Sir Marcus will be held accountable for this, but not now. This is not the time to fight amongst ourselves.”
Sir Marcus bowed his head and left the room. Sir Guy was offered a goblet of wine from Lady Marian. He silently thanked her and drank it with one long gulp. “Lady Valerie,” he said, approaching the stretcher. “How are you feeling?” His voice was not devoid of emotion, but in her state she could not figure it.
“I-I,” her throat was dry. Realizing this, Sir Guy passed her the water from the table. Her father helped her sit uptight, his touch tender. She took small sips at first, but her thirst was awakened soon. She emptied the goblet. Better, she thought. “Cuts and bruises, Sir Guy.” She said slowly. He exchanged a glance with the sheriff, which Valerie did not miss. “Although I feel like my head has been split in two.”
Her father hastily assured her that everything was alright and that she should rest. The physician had declared her in good health, and that tomorrow morning he would examine her again and then order her to her chambers.
It felt too good to be true. “What about the guard that attacked me?” She asked, remembering his passion in seeing her dead. “Was he an associate of Hood?”
Sir Guy wanted an answer to this, as well, she knew. He had been out with his men chasing the blasted outlaw. “He certainly sympathizes with his cause, but he hasn’t been very forthcoming insofar. I hope that now Gisborne is back, he can make the man talk.”
The black-clad knight nodded in agreement. “On my way, my lord.” He took Valerie’s hand and kissed it in a true gallant fashion. Then he retreated, sparing an apologetic look at Marian.
“Was he truly a guard, my lord, or was he an impostor?” Marian’s question held some suggestion in it.
From the way her father pondered on it before giving his answer, made Valerie believe that none of them had thought of it so far. “Sir Marcus will undoubtedly figure it out – after all, he is the one responsible for every recruit. Him – and the Captain of the Guard.”
So, Valerie concluded, nobody had thought of it, so far. “If he is a corrupt guard, then he should hang, isn’t that right, father?”
He reassured her. “He will hang either way.”
Her head hurt from all the thinking she had to do. If only he’d been a little more forthcoming with information, she wouldn’t strain her mental capacity that much. “Which means that you are keeping him alive, in hopes that he would give you names. Names, like his likeminded peers and so on.”
The sheriff smiled. His daughter was smart, indeed. “Yes, my darling daughter. This is exactly what we’re hoping for.”
She found it in her heart to smile. The left side of her face wasn’t cooperating as much as she’d like to. “But, how would be able to tell whether the people he gives up are genuine peers of his? He could easily name the most loyal to you, in hopes of weakening you and the defense of this castle. He will still hang, but he’ll take a few men with him.”
The shock on their faces was evident. The sheriff recovered quickly, however. Before he made some speech or another, Valerie spoke again.
“Can I have a mirror? There’s something seriously wrong with my face.”
Her father agreed with a grim, tight smile. It didn’t bode well for her, she knew. Lady Marian produced a handheld mirror, gingerly offering it.
Valerie’s fingers felt weak, but she closed them around the hilt all the same. Steadying her breaths, she dared to look at her reflection.
The moment she gasped, her father placed his hands on her back, soothing her. It was a most hideous sight to behold and as soon as her gaze lingered on the large mauve bruise that covered most of the left side, the swelling accompanying it, and the little scar that above her eyebrow, where the sharp edge of the sword had met with her head, a stream of tears fell down her face. Lady Marian quickly took the mirror off her hand and her father embraced her.
“Hush, my darling,” he was almost pleading. “It will soon pass.”
And to think that Sir Guy had seen her like this…
She wished that she could kill that guard with her bare hands. She wished that he could inflict the same pain upon him. She took solace in the thought that her father would deliver justice on her behalf.

Word Count: 4k   Series Masterlist  
The angry pounding at the door continued as Y/n and Remus came to their senses. Through all the banging and yelling Bertram's door remained closed, either he was sleeping through this whole thing or he was purposefully ignoring it.
Y/n got up and stretched as she made her way to Bertram's bedroom door, unaware that he had locked himself in there since she hadn't read the letter he left them last night.
She tapped loud enough for her knocking to sound separate from the stranger outside. “Bertram, there is someone, someone very angry, at the door.”
“I know!” Bertram whined, he was sat against the door listening and dreading having to face his problems, but at least he wasn't running away like Remus or Y/n probably would in this situation.
“Are you going to answer it? What do they want?”
“No! I won't answer it, can’t you tell he is angry?”
“Well, I don't think he is leaving anytime soon.”
“Just tell him I'm not here!” Bertram yelled in the same whiney voice, like a toddler.
Y/n got up and walked towards the door, she grabbed her wand from the floor beside the makeshift bed and yelled to the other side of the door.
“Bertrams not here!”
The person stopped pounding on the door and yelled back, still just as angry. “Bollocks he’s not there, a course he is! And he is going to answer to me! He is going to open this damn door!”
Y/n stepped away from the door and looked at Remus who was standing away from the window even though the curtains were pulled shut.
Remus walked over to Bertram's door and knocked. “Bertram, he isn’t going away. What did you do to piss him off so much anyway?”
“I don't know! Maybe I sold him the wrong potion, maybe I got the bottles mixed up, I do that sometimes.”
Y/n sighed and placed a hand on her forehead, stressed with this entire situation. She turned to the door again and just repeated herself. “Look, I'm very sorry I wish I could help you but Bertram isn't here, I don't know what else to tell you.”
“That’s it, I'm going to report this to the police! And if they think I'm crazy I’ll find the magic police, someone will make you accountable, there must be regulations for a business of this sort. You can’t sell me a love potion that is actually a fire breathing potion and expect to get away with it!”
Remus peaked out the window and watched as the angry man stormed down to the road and got in his car speeding away and disappearing into the distance.
Y/n placed her head against the door, relieved to at least have made the man go away.
“Good morning.” Remus joked as he fixed the blankets on the bed and flicked his wand transfiguring the bed back into a couch. “Fancy some breakfast?”
“Please.” She groaned and they went to the kitchen to find some sort of food. Y/n sat on the stool against the counter and propped her head up with her hands watching Remus try to sort through the fridge.
“Slim pickings I'm assuming?” She asked and Remus closed the fridge with a nod.
“I could always fry up some Dragon eggs?”
“Very funny. Is there any bread in the cupboard there?” Y/n asked and Remus opened the cupboard beside the fridge.
“Yes, there are seven, seven loaves of the same type of bread. And we have a toaster, all we need is,” Remus paused as he looked through the other cupboards, “Peanut butter?”
“Perfect.”
Remus made them both toast and sorted through the cupboards to find them some coffee and tea.
They sat silently, backs arched as they leaned their elbows on the counter in front of them, kitchen islands are really impractical for posture. Bertram opened his door and peeked out, hoping they wouldn't see him but they both turned their heads in sync, looking at Bertram when his door creaked and gave him away.
He was very clearly trying to sneak out.
“If you were trying to sneak past us you could have gone out the window, or even apparated away?” Y/n questioned as she munched down on her toast, she wasn't angry with him and Bertram was visibly relieved.
“I thought you might be sleeping, I was trying to be quiet.”
“We spoke to you less than five minutes ago.” Remus deadpanned from behind his coffee mug.
Bertram just nodded, accepting that he had been caught and was out of dumb excuses.
“You really fucked up.” Y/n said as she wiped some crumbs off the counter, “mixing up a love potion with one that makes you breathe fire? A big difference with those, a dangerous difference.”
“Honestly I think they are equally as dangerous, given the nature of some love potions and all,” Remus commented, humour dark like his coffee.
“I know.” Bertram pouted in the same whiney voice from earlier, falling onto the couch with a huff.
“Well next time he comes you should really talk to him, offer him a free dragon egg for his troubles or something.” Remus teased.
“We can just Obliviate him? If he comes back.” Y/n said giving Remus a questioning look as if to ask him for his input.
“You want us to obliviate him?” Remus asked.
“I mean it’s what we are supposed to do when we find out a muggle has seen magic of some sort.” She explained.
“You’re right, I guess it keeps our hands clean too. If he does find the ministry somehow and he gets here before them at least we can say we tried.” Remus offered but Bertram stood up walking across the room swiftly.
“He won't be able to contact the ministry he’s a muggle!” He argued.
“Well, he found a way to get his muggle hands on magic potions so if he’s determined I'm sure he will find a way to contact them somehow, we just have to hope he tries to come back here first.” Y/n placed a hand lightly on Bertram's shoulder, trying to comfort him as his wide bloodshot eyes gave away how stressed and tired he was.
Bertram just nodded slowly, squinting his eyes as he was in deep thought. He offered no explanation before grabbing his wand and a fist full of floo powder before disappearing in a flash of green fire.
“Okay, see you later Bertram!” Remus sarcastically said as he stood up and patted his palms against his legs looking around for what to do now. Y/n was just standing there leaning against the counter waiting for Remus to do or say something. It was nice being in one place after weeks of travelling, nowhere to go. The forest was nice in that sense but it was like camping, and you can only enjoy camping for so long. There comes a point where a real hot shower and a big warm bed are deeply missed.
“This cottage is really nice actually, needs a bit of cleaning though.”
“Are you suggested we clean it?” Y/n asked with a smile, cleaning wasn't nearly as much of a dreadful task when magic was involved.
“Sure.”
With no further words exchanged the two started cleaning, falling into a good rhythm, they really were a good team. Y/n opened the curtains and cracked the windows to let in some fresh air, Remus found a closet with cleaning supplies that flew out and started cleaning once he opened the door. 
They started grabbing books that had fallen off the moving bookshelves and arranged them neatly, Y/n ran her fingers across the spines as she skimmed through the titles, “there are some good books here.”
“I’d hate to say Bertram has good taste.” Remus teased.
“There's no way these are his, they are his grandmothers I'm sure, I think everything here is.”
“Except the illegal stuff.” Remus joked and they both laughed, Y/n placed a finger over the shiny book that would open the storage room but looked hesitantly at Remus before daring to move it.
“We should let the cleaning supplies get in here don't ya think?”
“Yeah, they will be gentle. Better than if we, or dare I say, Bertram, were to try and clean in there.”
With a giggle Y/n pulled the book out, stepping back as the bookshelf disappeared into the floor. She stepped aside and the cleaning supplies that had just finished cleaning the kitchen and living room went inside. She stood patiently, watching as the charmed cleaning supplies cleaned everything, dusting the shelves and mopping the floor, cleaning the burnt cauldron so it sparkled again. They flew out and Remus was waiting on the other side of the room to let them into the basement. After that, they dared to even let the supplies in Bertram's bedroom and the bathroom that they hadn't even noticed.
Y/n and Remus stood in the doorway of the bathroom, it was nice, arguably the nicest part of the house. Maybe that's just the opinion of Y/n and Remus, two people who have been living outdoors and on this wild runaway adventure with no nice bathrooms, and also the biggest introverts you could ever meet.
Maybe that’s why this cottage with its secluded location, wall-length bookshelves, large windows, comfy couches, isolated backyard and now a lavish bathroom with a huge bathtub and separate shower, was so appealing to them.
“We have cleaned the entire house, now it’s time for the house to clean us!” Y/n said excitedly as she ran across the room to the bathtub and kneeled in front of it placing her arms and hands over the side as she admired the smooth porcelain.
“Not sure that makes sense but I get the point.” Remus teased.
Y/n looked up at him with the biggest eyes of admiration, the kind she had always looked at him with, though he was unaware of it most times. “If you need me I’ll be in here for the next five years.”
“I think that’s ample time for relaxation, would you like me to grab you a book and your pyjamas from the car?”
Remus leaned down a bit as he spoke to her, grabbing her cheeks gently and squeezing them before he moved his hand to the side, she nuzzled her cheek into his palm as she smiled, shutting her eyes. It was a peaceful expression, Remus almost didn’t want to look away.
“It's not even noon, you think I should put my pyjamas on already?” She asked, eyes still shut and a smile still across her face.
“Well, why not, it's not like we are going anywhere.”
“You’re just full of brilliant ideas today aren't you.”
Remus chuckled as he placed a kiss on her forehead before standing back up and leaving the room. As he shut the door, not knowing when Bertram would be back, he heard the tap turn on and the sound of Y/n shuffling through the cabinet for bath products.
When he got back, with a good book that he picked out for her guessing what she would like based off how well he knew her, and a pair of pyjamas which were just plaid pyjama shorts and a very oversized t-shirt that he recognized as probably being one of James’, he knocked quietly before creaking the door open.
“I have your requested supplies, Mini.”
“You sound like my potions assistant again.” Y/n joked from inside the tub, she was fully submerged and hidden behind a mountain of purple bubbles, the room smelled like lavender and honey and the bathwater was so hot the mirror was already fogged up.
“No potion supplies here, just a book and some Pj’s.” Remus smiled as he tried to avoid looking in the soapy water, he placed the items on a dry part of the counter beside the sink.
“Come ‘ere” Y/n almost whispered and Remus instantly abided before she even finished her words.
He leaned against the side of the tub, knees against the floor and elbows resting on the edge, his sleeves already a bit damp. Y/n grabbed some bubbles on her fingertips and rubbed them across Remus’ face, leaving some to pile up on top of his nose. He scrunched his face up as if it bothered him but his smile and red cheeks gave him away.
“How can I ever thank you?” she asked quietly as she ran her fingers through the curls that fell in his face, getting them wet as she played with them.
“You can thank me by having a relaxing bath with me sometime.” He suggested.
“Some time? But there's one right here right now!” She said in a slow teasing tone that made Remus’ heart beat faster, he gripped the side of the tub, knuckles turning white as his mind raced.
“You want me to come in there? With you?” He asked timidly. 
They hadn’t done much since that night in the car, even that was mere foreplay, they hadn't even kissed that much since then, not having a moment alone without Bertram hovering around. Neither of them being big on PDA. 
Y/n just nodded, a wicked smile on her face.
Remus put his hand in the water swooshing it around, “If I get in there it will overflow and spill everywhere.”
“Oh no, too bad we don't have a magic mop in the other room.” 
*****Smut starts*****
She smiled as she got on her knees bringing her upper half out of the water, wet and sudsy skin making Remus blush more. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him close so his lips were on hers, she kissed him quickly, unsure of how much time they truly had. Remus moved his hands to her breasts, rubbing his fingers gently across the bubbles, brushing against her nipples with his fingertips and before he knew it he was being pulled in with a splash and a flood spilled on the floor.
The bathtub was big enough that they could both fit if they were careful but they were in such a heated hurry that they splashed about as they moved around, kissing intensely only pausing to smile on each other's lips. Y/n had her back against the porcelain tub as Remus hovered over her. His clothes were too wet and heavy to easily take off on his own so Y/n slowly peeled them off piece by piece as he slid his hand between her thighs. 
Her legs spread as far as they could since she was pinned beneath him, his knees on either side of her hips. His fingers pushed inside her with little rhythm, every time he moved his arm the water would spill over the side of the tub a little more. 
Her fingers fiddled with his pants, trying to get them off him but the effort proved useless. He smiled against her cheek as he moved to kiss down her neck before pulling his fingers away and moving his hands to grip her hips, carefully wrapping her legs around his waist and then lifting them both out of the tub. Taking careful steps around the bubbly puddles and then placing her on the bathroom counter. The cold smooth tile underneath her warm bare skin.
Remus was still wearing his pants, his shirt and sweater were successfully taken off by Y/n in the tub. He stood between Y/n’s legs as she wrapped them around his waist and pulled him closer to her. She continued her mission from before, if she was completely naked why shouldn’t he be. It took a bit of teamwork to get his soaked jeans off of him, building up the tension and impatience they were both feeling for one another. 
She wanted to see him completely naked for so long, the last time they did this it left too much to the imagination, and when they went swimming he was hidden under the water from her examining and detail searching eyes.
She didn’t get to spend too much time admiring his pale skin, covered in scars and odd freckles here and there before he grabbed her face, kissing her roughly before pushing inside of her. They both gasped, shocked at the new feeling. His hands moved from gently holding her cheeks to grabbing her hips, pulling her closer to him with each thrust.
She wrapped her hands around his shoulders, moving her hands over his wet back, digging her nails in to keep him close.
Remus placed a hand on the mirror to steady himself. This was not the smartest way for them to do this for the first time, it was clumsy and slippery and desperate and exploratory and not thoroughly planned out like everything they do together. His hand slides against the glass of the mirror as he thrusts faster and deeper, his forehead is pressed to hers because he can’t focus on this and kissing her at the same time.
She wants to say something but isn’t sure what’s right to say, her mind is clouded and all she can think of, all she can feel is him.
“Rem, Remus…” She muttered through scattered breaths as the tension-filled her stomach as she came undone. Remus thrust a few more times before coming, kissing her and pushing her against the mirror to her back.
He pulled away from the kiss, smiling sheepishly at her and she just smiled back at him.
“Now I feel like I need another bath.”
“That can be arranged,” he teased before he kissed her once more.
*****smut ends******
-
Bertram rushed around the small kitchen making some sort of food, Y/n was sat on the stool at the kitchen island and Remus was stood on the other side of it, trying not to be in Bertram's way. They were unfazed by the commotion Bertram was causing, he insisted he didn't need any help. 
Bertram had been gone almost all day and had only come back around 6 pm, with a few groceries in hand thankfully.
Y/n looked at Remus from behind her mug, her eyes travelled from the floor and then up to his face. He was already looking at her. They both stayed like that, silently examining each other, a smile broke across Y/n’s face, simply because he made her happy.
They looked at the faces in front of them, wondering how they went from strangers to classmates, to acquaintances and then to this, whatever this was. They went from existing in the same small world to being each other's whole lives, their points of view focused on each other. 
The background blurred when she stared at him, she took a sip from her tea and he raised a teasing brow. He was about to tease her, tell her to take a picture as it would last longer, but smoke passed in front of his face catching both their attention.
It was clear Bertram really did need help.
Remus chuckled and turned to help him as Y/n watched in amusement from her seat. After a few struggled minutes Y/n was presented with a plate with two burnt pancakes on it.
Before they could all sit down and enjoy the sweet moment and the hopefully sweet pancakes, there was a loud banging on the door again. All of their smiles faded.
“Bertram! Open the door. Answer me you lying bastard!”
Remus was the first to stand he walked over to the door and went to turn the nob to open it but Bertram ran up behind him.
“No.” He whispered but Remus shook his head. 
“You can’t hide forever. Just obliviate him.” Remus said before he forced the door open, his wand in his hand hidden behind his back.
The man started yelling but Bertram said nothing in response he stared blankly at the angry man in front of him.
“Bertram, do it!” Y/n yelled from her seat as she watched nervously.
Bertram shook his head, a clear look of fear on his face so Remus pushed him aside, silently casting obliviate on the angry muggle in front of him.
Suddenly three Auror’s appeared, wands drawn. The muggle man looked around confused as ever as to where he was and what was happening.
“You obliviated him?” One of the Aurors asked as she looked at the muggle.
Bertram shook his head, making them believe that Remus was who they were looking for.
“So you are Bertram Aubrey then?” The woman asked Remus and he shook his head. One of the Aurors stepped forward, Remus recognized him. 
Of the three Aurors in front of them, there was a woman he didn’t recognize but looked not much older than him, and two men who he recognized as Dirk Cresswell and Davey Gudgeon. 
“No, that's Remus Lupin,” Davey said.
“Uh yeah, that's Bertram, but I am the one who Obliviated the muggle, that's a law. I followed the law.” Remus said, he was panicked but he was trying to sound calm and sure of himself as he spoke slowly and clearly.
“We know the laws, and being apart of the black market for potions and creatures is against the law.” The woman snapped at him.
“I'm not,” Remus argued but he was interrupted by Dirk.
“Then why obliviate him?”
Remus didn't want to admit that he knew what Bertram was doing and he couldn't think of any excuses fast enough.
“That's what I thought,” Dirk said as they went behind Remus and used a spell to lock his arms behind his back, they did the same to Bertram.
Y/n ran to the door, not worried about being arrested herself.
“You can’t take him! He's innocent I swear.” She pleaded, tears filling her eyes at the sight of Remus being pulled away.
“Well, even if he is, he just obliviated our witness so I think he will prove useful. Stay safe out here all alone little lady, there are wolves in these woods I hear.” Dirk teased.
“Sorry about this Y/n, and I’m sorry about James too. Just stay here in case we need to come back for you, we have no reason to take you in now but please don't run.” Davey said before they all apparated away leaving Y/n standing in the doorway by herself, unable to do anything to help them. 
She was alone now, in a place that wasn’t home and only felt like it because of who she was with. The backseat of the car felt like home with Remus there, the forest felt like home and the shitty motels did too as long as Remus was there with her. But now he wasn't.
Loneliness consumed her and she fell to her knees as she whispered to herself.
“What do I do now?”
The emphasis on the I hurt, because the honesty of it all was that Remus wasn't there to ask her this. He wasn't there for her to focus on and guide, Bertram wasn’t there to be clueless and she had never felt so hopeless and powerless. How could Davey look at her, offer his empty apologies to her and then take them away anyways, leave her there? They weren't close friends at all but he knew James, how could he take Remus away like that?
She sat like that for an hour staring down the driveway, until a black shaggy dog ran down the road and stopped at the door, staring at her through the thin screen.
At first, she thought it was a wolf, but as it got closer she realized it wasn’t.
She didn't fear the dog, she welcomed anything to cease the loneliness, but its eyes seemed not those of a dog but of a human.
Where did this mysterious dog come from?

Penny for your thoughts? - Chapter III
Title: Penny for your thoughts? [Telepathy AU] Relationship: Kim Taehyung/Jeon Jungkook Warnings: Explicit Sexual Content in later chapters. Word count: 4285 Summary: “~ Ahhhhhh, pretty boy is staring at us, definitely us. - Oh my god, will you stop screaming? ~ Oh look, he looks so adorable with those wide eyes, oh God, why is he so near. - It’s okay breathe. Breathe, and try not to do anything stupid. Oh no no, don’t stare. ~ Woah, so pretty. - No, I said do NOT stare. ~ Did you? Sorry, I must have heard you wrong.
A clear-cut internal thought-conversation? This was rare, Jungkook noted as he turned away, trying so hard not to smile.”
OR,
Jungkook can feel everyone’s thoughts and emotions, and Taehyung is that one person who thinks too loud.
Read CHAPTER I here.
Read CHAPTER II here.
… … … … … … … … … … . . 
- Just. Don’t do anything stupid, please. ~ Oh no, help. Best friend alert! - He’s going to hate us because we’re a mess. ~ He’s going to hate us? - Well, he might… ~ Not helping…? - I’m just saying! There’s always that possibility.
“Taehyung!” Jimin exclaimed giddily, hopping off his seat and rushing over to meet them.
“Y-yes?” Taehyung nearly jumped out of his skin when Jimin placed both his hands on Taehyung’s shoulders, still smiling like a child with a fluffy little puppy.
“Oh my god, you are adorable!”
Jungkook let out an exasperated sigh. Had Jimin never heard of the word ‘subtle’?
J: Ohmygod this kid is so fluffy and so pretty! I totally get what you mean, Kook. Just look at his cute little nose! I just want to pet his hair and watch you fall in love with him. Let me just go get some popcorn.
Jungkook rolled his eyes. Not happening.
“Jiminie, don’t scare him” Jungkook pushed his best friend’s arm away, laughing. People in the hall were beginning to notice this interaction. Jungkook was known for not interacting with anyone other than Jimin if he could avoid it, and now, he was laughing with some random kid? It was bound to draw attention, “Let’s go sit down, yeah?”
~ He called him ‘Jiminie’… - Isn’t that adorable? (‘Jiminie’…) ~ Yeah, but… - Oh god, don’t tell me we’re jealous. ~ Of course not! They’ve known each other for who knows how long, and we just wish we knew him for that long too. (He called him ‘Jiminie’…) - So, basically, we’re jealous. ~ Of course not. We’ve known him for less than a week. (‘Jiminie’…) - Jealous. ~ Fine. Whatever. (‘Jiminie’…cute…)
Jungkook tried so hard not to smile as they sat down at the table.
“I’m so glad to finally meet you!” Jimin exclaimed. Jungkook made a mental note to give Jimin The Talk about subtlety. 
“I’m glad to meet you too, Jiminie!” Jungkook watched with mild amusement, as Taehyung flinched, realizing what he had just said.
- What. Is. Wrong. With. Us. ~ Oh look! Jungkook is smiling again! - I- Just- Can we focus for one second here? ~ Oh no. We called Jiminie ‘Jiminie’. - No, We called Jimin ‘Jiminie’. ~ But Jungkook calls him Jiminie. - Stop pouting. Jungkook has known him for ages. We met him literally minutes ago. We are being RUDE! ~ B-but Jungkook calls- - Do we have to do everything Jungkook does? ~ Obviously. - Oh god, no. Just apologize to ‘Jimin’. We’ll discuss this later.
“I-I’m so sorry, Jimin,” Why did Jungkook find even his stammer so adorable, damn it! “Jungkook keeps calling you Jiminie, so I just- I didn’t mean to-”
J: He’s so cute! You’ve got to keep him, Kook. Keep him forever. His puppy eyes are so precious, I wanna squish his cheeks!
- Can we not speak without stammering anymore? ~ Dumb question. This is Jeon Angel Jungkook. - Ah. That makes sense.
Jungkook was freaking out about how fluid, how graceful, how right his name sounded on Taehyung’s lips. It was the first time he had heard Taehyung say his name, and he was trying so hard to calm down his stupid racing heart. His ears were warm, and if he spoke anytime in the next five minutes, his voice would come out all weird and breathy. God, why did it have to be like this? As if the loud, clear thought-voice weren’t messing with his mind enough.
Jimin laughed when Jungkook glared at him.
“That’s okay, Taehyung.” Jimin waived his apology, “I don’t mind at all.”
Jungkook felt Taehyung’s relief.
- Talk. ~ You talk. I always mess up. - Okay…?
“What’s your major?” Taehyung tried for a relaxed smile, “Mine is Fine Arts.”
“Music,” Jimin responded, proudly, “I just really love music. So, do you sketch and paint and stuff?”
- Wait, is this ‘Mochi Jimin’ Yoongi-hyung kept going on and on about? ~ He is kind of… ‘Mochi’… and a Music major…
Jungkook blinked. Taehyung knew a Yoongi? This was information to be filed away for later. Right now, he was going to focus on ‘getting to know’ Taehyung the normal way.
Taehyung laughed at Jimin’s vague question, and Jungkook melted.
“Yeah, both, actually,” Jungkook stifled a gasp when Taehyung’s eyes lit up with childlike excitement, “Right now, I’m working on this project where I take photographs, then put them on paper with pen sketches or different paint mediums, highlighting only the parts in the picture that made want to click the photo in the first place,” Taehyung flinched, all of a sudden, and dropped his gaze to where his hands fidgeted nervously on the table, “I’m sorry, I keep going on and on about this stuff.”
- Why do we keep doing this? They just asked about our major out of politeness, and we had to go all out and explain the whole project.
Why did Taehyung keep putting himself down like that? He had such a beautiful mind, such a breathtakingly beautiful voice, and the face of an angel. And still, he wouldn’t let himself be…okay with who he was. It really pained Jungkook.
“Don’t worry about it,” Jungkook smiled as he reached forward and placed his fingertips on one of Taehyung’s hands, “I like listening to you.”
Taehyung looked up, wide-eyed, blushing.
~ Why is he so nice? - This is…confusing. ~ Yeah, but, like, nice confusing. - Why is he so nice? ~ Exactly.
J: Ohmygod, my ship is sailing! I’m sorry, Jungkook, I can’t help it. It’s like, right there and I can’t not see it! You two are so cute, I’m going to scream in like two seconds if you don’t stop staring into each other’s eyes.
Jungkook pulled his hand away, face burning. Why did Jimin have to think these things? They were really messing with his head.
“Lunch!” Jimin announced, bringing out a big box of sandwiches.
~ Food!! - That’s…a lot of food for one person. ~ Oh, don’t judge!
“Jimin’s roommate, Jin-hyung, made lunch for the three of us,” Jungkook explained, “I live across the hall, and hyung is an angel who took it upon himself to always cook for Jimin and me too.”
Taehyung nodded.
- Even his roommate seems like a nice person. ~ We want to meet him…
“Have as much as you like!” Jimin opened the box and placed it in the middle of the table, “Jin-hyung always makes way too much.”
“So,” Jimin began again, excited, “What do you like to do?”
“Like to do?” Taehyung echoed
“Yeah, in your free time.”
~ Think about Jungkook? - Other than that? We literally met him three days ago. ~ Sketch Jungkook? - I can’t even deny this. We literally haven’t been able to sketch anything but that damned angel in the last three days. ~ Panic about Jungkook? - We like doing that? ~ Maybe a little…
“I guess I like sketching whatever catches my fancy,” Taehyung replied, a light blush on his cheeks, “and listening to music, maybe. My brother runs the music studio here, so there’s music playing all the time at our place.”
J: His brother runs the music studio? He might know Assistant Professor Min Yoongi…
Jungkook noted that Jimin always made sure to call this guy ‘Assistant Professor’. He wondered briefly if it was a kink of some sort.
“What about you, Jungkook?” His name in Taehyung’s voice left Jungkook more than a little breathless.
“I u-um,” Jungkook’s voice broke. He took a deep breath and tried again, “English. English major.” He flinched at how awkwardly breathy his voice sounded.
~ His voice. - Yes. His voice. ~ Ohmygod, his voice. - Exactly. ~ Imagine that voice speaking softly in our ear when he cages us against the wall with those arms. - Or, like, snap out of it say something.
“S-so, you like to read?” Taehyung blinked, trying to keep his focus on the present moment.
Jungkook mind was now creating a high-definition image of him caging Taehyung against the wall, of Taehyung’s hands in his hair like they were before, but not so gentle. He imagined Taehyung tugging on his earrings with his teeth, fingers tightening in his hair. He imagined Taehyung’s warm breath on his lips, Taehyung’s soft, pretty lips only millimetres away, not touching-
“ook? Jungkook!” Jimin flicked his forehead, stunning his back to reality. Had he seriously spaced out mid-conversation again? Why did this keep happening today? Taehyung was going to think he was so dumb. Not that it mattered. Or anything.
~ Ooh look! He’s pouting! - Don’t stare.
“I was just asking,” Taehyung repeated softly, “if you like to read.”
“Oh,” Jungkook needed a second to get over Taehyung’s soft voice and his own racing heart, “Yeah, I love reading. I don’t really talk to people much, so I guess it’s my way of getting to know the world.” Jungkook cringed at his own words.
~ Wow, that sounded so cool. - Cool, calm, composed, proper. ~ While we are dying of nervous breakdowns over here.
Jungkook wanted to tell him that right now he was as far from calm and composed as anyone could be and that he wasn’t the only one dying of nervous breakdowns. Also that he wasn’t cool. Hell, he wasn’t even ‘normal’. Just an unnatural freak.
Jungkook closed his eyes for a second, thinking about all the thought-voices he was blurring. It scared Jungkook to imagine how quickly they would all run if they knew. There suddenly wasn’t enough air in the room. It was too warm. Suffocating. He needed a drink of water.
+ Look at how pretty his lips look wrapped around the mouth of the bottle… - Not now. + Imagine how they would look - Please, this is n- + wrapped around our- ~ Oh no, he’s choking? Is he okay? + We can think of some things he could choke on… - This is Not. The. Time. He’s choking! ~ Do something!
Jungkook rummaged through his bag for a paper napkin or anything to wipe his face and the table with. His face was burning. What was that. That was definitely not one of Taehyung’s usual thought-voices, although it was definitely one of Taehyung’s thought voices. And this thought-voice seemed less nervous, more…brazen, like he knew what he was doing, like he knew he could have Jungkook all for himself if he wanted to.
Jungkook swallowed. Taehyung had been, at some level, thinking about Jungkook’s lips around his dick? About Jungkook choking on his dick? Jungkook found himself imagining what Taehyung would look like, falling apart under his mouth. He felt a rush of arousal as he tried to imagine what Taehyung would sound like, his beautiful voice dissolving into breathy moans because of Jungkook.
He cleared his throat. This was not a good time to think about this. Later. Now was not the time. He looked up at Taehyung, biting down on his lip, trying for a neutral expression.
~ He’s biting his lip again. - Tell him to stop. ~ No, you radish. It looks hot. + Oh wow, look, he’s staring at our lips. - Shut up. + But look! His eyes are so much darke- Did you see that? - No, please, not now. + He just swallowed hard. We want to kiss down his jawline and- Oh. He looked away. - Thank god. Can we breathe, now?
Jungkook was struggling. What was he supposed to do with this new information? How was he supposed to handle this new thought-voice? He watched Taehyung’s darkened gaze drift from his eyes to his lips, and back. He swallowed, holding back a whimper as Taehyung’s lust filtered into his mind, layering onto his own.
He let his fingernails dig into the palm of his hand, willing his thoughts to stay in the present, willing his burning face to cool down. This was not a good time to get turned on.
He had already lost focus once today. That was one time more than usual. He wasn’t going to let it happen again.
“Guys?” Jimin packed away the now-empty lunch box, “Break is over, so whenever you’re done gazing into each other’s eyes…”
Jungkook got up so quickly that the chair fell over. His face was still burning and it was way too hot in here even without his jacket on.
J: Well, at least that got their attention. I gotta go, catch you later?
“W-we weren’t gaz-” Jungkook sighed, “Fine. Whatever. I’ll see you after class.”
- Were we gazing into his eyes? ~ I’m not sure, but it seems plausible. - Here’s an idea! Let’s go way over there and die! ~ Shut up. He’s blushing. We want to watch forever.
Jungkook thought it was a minor miracle of some sort that he remembered he had something to do. He wondered why he thought he needed to do this in the first place. It was unlike him, and he would stammer and mess up and cry. And then he would die of embarrassment. But, according to his own self from last night, it was absolutely necessary.
“Taehyung?” Jungkook forced himself to look at that beautiful face. His own voice still sounded awkwardly breathy, “C-can I have your number? If that’s alright. It’s okay if you don’t want to. Just- forget I asked, I’m sorr-”
“Sure.”
~ Ohmygod, did you hear that? He asked for our number. - Jeon Angel Jungkook asked for our number. ~ And he stammered, that’s so adorable! - As if we wouldn’t want to give Jungkook our number. As if. Did we respond? ~ We did. Auto-response was activated.
Jungkook was lying down on the dry grass at their spot, fighting the urge to start grinning like an idiot - he had Taehyung’s number - when Jimin sat down on the grass beside him.
God, the sandwiches were good today.
“Yeah,” Jungkook recalled how Taehyung looked so cute stuffing a sandwich into his mouth. Was that even supposed to be cute? “You should tell Jin-hyung. He’ll be overjoyed.”
Ahh, I can’t get over how adorable Taehyung is. So floofy, I just want to ruffle his hair and squish his cheeks.
Jungkook told himself he definitely did not just feel a pang of jealousy.
Jimin giggled.
Don’t worry, he’s all yours.
Jungkook rolled his eyes, smiling, “Isn’t he the most adorable creature you’ve ever seen?”
Yes, he is! He is so cute, I want to put him in my pocket and protect him from the whole world. And he’s all blushing whenever you so much as glance at him. It’s so precious!
How do you expect me to even pretend to not ship you? Have you ever looked at the way you look at him? God, you don’t look at even puppies with the tenderness and love with which you look at him, It’s so beautiful, I’m going to cry.
Also, what was that? That whole episode of blushing bright red and choking on water?
Jungkook looked at Jimin for a second. Should he just tell him the whole thing? What did he have to lose, anyway?
“Did I mention that Taehyung has multiple thought-voices?”
“No?” Jimin sounded slightly miffed.
He does? And you didn’t tell me once in the three whole days?
But that’s so cool!
“Yeah. There’s one which is usually more practical. Like, ‘focus, get stuff done’.” Jungkook thought about the times this thought-voice had slipped out of character.
“Then there’s this cute, dreamy one that keeps fangirling about me. He’s adorable,” Jungkook couldn’t help the light blush that tinted his cheeks at the memory of Taehyung, flustered by him.
Ohmygod, I cannot believe you never told me any of this! This is so cool! I wanna meet them!  
“Trust me, I want to meet them at least as much as you do. But listen,”
Listening.
“Today, there was a third thought-voice.”
Jungkook covered his eyes with the back of his hand. He knew it barely his any of his blushing face, but he couldn’t look Jimin in the eye when he explained this.
And?
“And, when I was drinking water, it went all ‘His lips look so pretty wrapped around the mouth of the bottle. Imagine what it would look like wrapped around our…’ Yeah. Something like that.”
Jimin raised his eyebrows.
Oh, wow. So that was why you choked. So our Taehyungie isn’t all that innocent, huh…
“Yeah,” Jungkook sighed, he knew his ears were bright red by now, “And then it went like ‘We can think of some things he can choke on’ and I just-”
Jimin broke into a giggle, then into full-fledged laughter.
This is golden, oh my god. So basically he fancies the idea of you sucking his dick, and you don’t exactly look like you’d mind that very much. In fact, judging by the way you were gazing into each other’s eyes, I’d be surprised if it didn’t happen soon.
“You know it won’t,” Jungkook laughed, rolling his eyes at Jimin, “It’s not like that between Taehyung and me.”
Jimin scoffed.
Have you even heard yourself say his name? Your voice goes all soft and precious and I just want to click a picture of you with a puppy.
But, d’you wanna bet?
“On what?” Jungkook raised an eyebrow at Jimin’s smirk.
If you happen to suck his dick in the next three months, I win. Deal?
“Deal,” Jungkook laughed, “It’s not going to happen, Jiminie.”
The warm afternoon breeze wafted through their shaded hideout. Jungkook gazed up at the sky, wondering what a normal life would’ve been like. He didn’t know if he would want it. He would never really know, and that was okay. This was okay. But sometimes, he just found himself wondering anyway.
You know he really likes you, right? And you’re not exactly discouraging him.
“It’s not like that,” Jungkook repeated, sighing, “He just thinks I’m cute or hot or whatever. It’s not, like, serious…or anything.”
Jimin looked at him for a long moment, then looked up at the sky.
Fine, if you’re so sure. You’re the thought reading guy, not me.
I know I just met him, but I already know that the guy is innocent and precious and worth the whole world. I have a feeling you agree.
And I really hope you know what you’re doing, because, Jungkook?
Jungkook sat up to face Jimin, a little startled at the change of tone. Jimin closed his eyes.
Can you really trust yourself not to hurt him?
Jungkook flinched.
He had decided years ago that he’d never do this whole ‘falling in love’ thing.
It wouldn’t work. No one would love a creature as unnatural as him. They’d just be creeped out like hell when they knew. I mean, who wants a stranger inside their head all the time, right?
He seriously doubted he’d ever fall for someone anyway. People always had something they want to hide away in their thoughts. Maybe some things were better hidden away. Jungkook didn’t like knowing every little thing.
Jungkook had decided years ago that he wouldn’t let it happen. It would save a whole lot of pain for everyone. He just wouldn’t fall in love. Simple.
He realized, now, that he hadn’t thought this through.
He’d never imagined that a situation would arise where might have to break someone’s heart, or let someone go because they’d run anyway if they knew.
Honestly, he didn’t know if he could do it.
We’ll figure it out, okay?
Look at me.
Jungkook looked up. Jimin pulled him into a hug, eyes full of affection. He knew Jimin was only trying to protect him from his own rash decisions, but the question still hurt a little.
We’re in this together, Kook. Remember that.
Jungkook tried for a small smile.
Jungkook sat down on the edge of his bed, facing the window. His fingers trembled as he struggled to formulate and type out a simple text message.
Me Hey! This is Jungkook.
Jungkook scoffed at himself. Taehyung had saved his number. Of course he’d know it was Jungkook.
Taehyung Hey Jungkook! Are you safely home?
He literally came home from college five days a week. Safely.
Me Yep c: I saw a dog
Jungkook didn’t know if Taehyung liked dogs, but this dog on the sidewalk had been so fluffy and adorable, he had to tell someone. And Jimin was probably still out. Probably at the music studio.
Taehyung Ooh! Lucky you! Was it all fluffy and adorable?
Jungkook huffed out a laugh. Talk about reading minds.
Me Yes! It was brown and the light of the setting sun looked so pretty on its fur…
Taehyung Do you… Perhaps… Write?
Me A little.
Jungkook didn’t normally tell people about his writing, but then again, nothing about this whole thing was ‘normal’, perse.
Taehyung That is so cool!
Jungkook smiled. He could almost imagine the thought-conversation behind that message.
Me Thank you, kindly. What are you up to?
Taehyung Remember that project I mentioned? With the photographs Ah. Maybe you don’t. So like,
Me I remember all of it. Go on
Taehyung Oh Well, I’m supposed to decide on a theme or focus of some sort So my photographs will be around that Only, I can’t think of anything that I really want to do…
Me Quoting a certain Taehyung, ‘That is so cool!’
Taehyung I’m literally blushing, believe me
Jungkook believed him.
Taehyung So I marked out a couple of places in and around the city Where I want to go and click random pictures I have a feeling that might help
Me Sounds exciting! When do you plan to go?
Taehyung We have college tomorrow and on Friday, so Saturday, maybe?
Me Can I come?
Jungkook stared at the screen. What. What was he doing? Why would he want to go around the city with some random guy? Did he not have anything better to do?
Well, first of all, Taehyung wasn’t ‘some random guy’. This thing sounded genuinely exciting, especially with Taehyung, obviously because his project was so cool. No other reason whatsoever. Also, he really did not have anything better to do.
Taehyung Yes, please do! It will be so much fun!
Me With you around, I’m sure it will I’m so excited already!
Jungkook stared at his own hand with mild horror. Was he flirting? Who was this person who invited himself to a whatever-this-awesome-thing-was, and where was renowned-introvert Jungkook?
And who made the decision to call Jimin now?
“Jungkook?” Jimin’s voice sounded a little worried over the phone, “Is everything okay? Should I come over?”
“Everything’s fine. I’m okay,” Jungkook paused, “Sort of. I- uh- I did a thing.”
Jimin laughed, “What’s new?”
“I think, I think I flirted with Taehyung and invited myself to accompany him on some project thing on Saturday. I think.”
Jungkook counted seven seconds of silence before Jimin responded with a blank, “What.”
“Wait, wait, wait,” Jimin continued, “You’re kidding, right?”
“I just sent you screenshots,” Jungkook willed himself not to panic.
“Kook,” Jimin’s voice at the other end of the line sounded amused, exasperated, “You’re going, right?”
“I- um…”
“Kook,” Jimin’s voice had suddenly lost all its humour, “You’re not getting your pretty boy’s hopes up, just to wreck them, are you?”  
“Listen, Jimin, you know how it is with me, I-”
“You just don’t do the whole ‘falling in love’ thing, I hear you but I’m not listening anymore,” Jungkook flinched.
“Jiminie, I can’t- He doesn’t know about-”
“Calm down, Jungkook,” Jimin sighed, “It’s not even a date. Just go hang out with someone other than me for once, yeah?”
“Yeah,” Jungkook felt like a child who had just been scolded.
“And next time, think before you make promises,” Jimin sounded exhausted, “Saves a lot of pain for everyone.”
“Okay.”
“Now open the door, I’m coming to give you a hug.”
I’m so sorry, baby, I get what you’re saying. I know you can’t help feeling this way. It’s okay. We’ll figure it out together, okay? 
Let me in?
Jungkook stared at the closed door of his room.
Please?
“For the ninth time, Jungkook,” Jimin buried his face in his hands, “You’re not wearing a hoodie to your definitely-not-a-date.”
“Fine,” Jungkook sighed. It was always better to leave the fashion to Jimin, “Then tell me what to wear. I have to leave in fifteen minutes.”
Finally. Thank you.
“Black t-shirt. Tucked into Light blue jeans. Earrings. Go.”
Jungkook studied himself in the mirror, willing himself to not to start tapping his feet or fidgeting with his earrings again. What did Taehyung find attractive about this?
It didn’t matter. If he knew the truth about Jungkook, he wouldn’t find any of this attractive anymore. It didn’t matter, because Taehyung would see him for the disgusting, unnatural monstrosity that he was. It didn’t matter, because Taehyung wasn’t really going to ‘like’ like him anyway. It was some blinded infatuation phase.
Jungkook wondered why it hurt so much to think about that. But then again, it didn’t matter, because Jungkook wouldn’t fall in love. It wasn’t like that between them.
This was not a date. Jungkook told himself he was glad it wasn’t. He told himself it was alright to spend a day with Taehyung. He told himself, scoffing at the very idea, that there was absolutely no risk of him falling for the most beautiful man he’d ever seen.
“It’s not a date, remember?” Jimin was looking at him through the mirror.
You look like you’ve seen a ghost.
“I’m just…not really used to talking to people,” Jungkook sighed, “What if I respond to something he hasn’t even said out loud…or something?”
“That has never happened,” Jimin patted him on the shoulder, “And I know you don’t want to hear this, but maybe, maybe he won’t take it so badly.”
“Sure,” Jungkook rolled his eyes, “And maybe, maybe the sun won’t set in the west on alternate Tuesdays.”
“You told me, remember?” Jimin smiled softly, “And I’m still here.”
Jungkook mumbled something about it not being the same thing as Jimin ruffled his hair.
I’m just saying. Maybe someone. Maybe someday.
Jungkook stepped away, frustrated. It wasn’t that simple.
There had to be a certain level of trust for Jungkook to tell someone about this. The problem was that Jungkook cared too much too easily, and he couldn’t bear thought of losing someone who was so dear to him because of this repulsive secret.
He hadn’t known Taehyung for even a week. He didn’t know why the thought of losing Taehyung felt so unbearable already.
Taehyung didn’t like him that way, so far as he knew. Jungkook told himself he would turn Taehyung down if that’s what it came to. It couldn’t be all that hard.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
“It’s time,” Jungkook’s voice sounded strange to his own ears. Jimin looked at him, worried.
You okay?
Jungkook nodded, slipping on his shoes.
You know you can call or text me whenever, right?
“I know,” Jungkook smiled. Jimin was always so genuine, it confused him sometimes.
I’ll probably be at the studio.
“Okay,” Jungkook fumbled with his shoelaces, cursing his trembling fingers.
Have fun!
“I’ll try,” Jungkook responded, nervousness bare in his voice, as he stepped out. Jimin ruffled his hair again and shut the door behind him.
Jungkook stared at the carpeted floor of the hallway and told himself he knew what he was doing.

Tumblr media
Early the next morning, Liam and Hailey headed over to her apartment to pack her things for Cordonia. She unlocked the door with Liam behind her and stopped when she walked in. Looking around, seeing the table still flipped on its side, the lamp still broken on the floor, she could hear her cries from that night flashing through her head.
“You ok?”
“Yeah...” she shook it off and began walking to her room.
She pulled a suitcase out of her closet and began to fill it with her clothes.
“Any fancy balls I need to prepare for?” she slightly grinned.
“Well...there’s a gala at the end of the week...if you’d like to attend,” he smiled.
She walked over to her jewelry box, taking another trinket box out and putting some things inside it. Liam looked down into the jewelry box she was pulling items from and noticed the small ball, and his eyes went wide.
“Is that...?”
“The grotto pearl...yes.”
“You...kept it?”
“I did...” she glanced up at him for a moment before turning back to her suitcase.
She closed her eyes remembering the night he gave it to her in the blue grotto.
“Knowing it was here...and I finally had someone I wanted to give it to...well I couldn’t wait to see if I could locate it once more. It sounds rather silly now that I’m saying all of this out loud to you...but...would it please you to have this?”
“This pearl? Oh Liam...I love it!”
“Hailey...about last night...the kiss...I hope I didn’t make you feel uncomfortable.” Liam said, pulling Hailey from her memory.
“You didn’t,” she said, not looking away from her suitcase, but Liam could see a small smile on the side of her lips. He felt his heart flutter.
She finished packing, Liam taking her suitcase from her to carry. As they were walking to the door Haileys phone rang, she stopped and pulled it out and Liam saw her grip tighten around the phone, her hand beginning to shake. He saw the name on the screen—Adam—. She declined the call, then he saw her go into his contact information and she hit the red button—Block Caller—. He smiled at her as she walked out the door.
They made their way back down to the car and back to to the hotel to pick up the others. Leo and Mallory met them at the tarmac, canceling their original flight to fly back on the jet with the rest. Leo wanted to take a day to show her Cordonia and to meet Regina before they headed to Greece.
Most of the flight Hailey had spent in silence, just staring out the window lost in thought. She was glad to be getting out of New York for a while, and she was glad that she was going to be able to get a clear mind about everything that she’d been hiding for so long. But her mind was also now on Liam...and that kiss. It was as if everything in her life was in black and white, and when his lips softly touched hers, the colors slowly started to return. But her heart was guarded. She didn’t think she would survive another heartbreak, not from him. She heard his words he said at the beach, but she was still apprehensive. She was pulled from her thoughts by Drake.
“Collins,” he smiled as he took the seat across from her.
“Hey, Drake,” she slightly smiled.
“You ok?”
“Yeah, just thinking.”
“You seem to do that a lot now,” he chuckled.
“Yes, my mind tends to wander a lot these days,” she grinned.
“I’m glad you decided to come. I’m sure everyone’s going to be really happy to see you.”
“I’m glad too, I think it’ll be good to get away.”
Finally after the long flight, they landed in Cordonia. Maxwell headed back to the Beaumont Estate, Drake going with him to see Savannah, while Liam, Hailey, Leo and Mallory headed to the palace. They pulled in and Mallory’s eyes went wide, Hailey giving her a smile, remembering her same reaction the first time she saw it.
“This. Is. Incredible!”
“Thank you,” Liam said with a grin.
The car pulled up and the staff came out retrieving their bags from the SUV as they made their way inside. Hailey looked around, closing her eyes after a moment, as flashbacks from the social season flooded her mind. Just then she heard Regina’s voice.
“Liam, I’m glad to see you back! And Leo, it’s wonderful to see you,” she said pulling them both into a hug.
“It’s good to be back.”
“It is, and Regina, this is my bride Mallory, Mallory, this is my step-mother Regina.”
“It’s so nice to meet you ma’am,” Mallory smiled.
“It’s wonderful to meet you as well. I apologize for not being able to make it to the wedding, but with Liam being gone, I figured it’d be best for someone to stay behind. And who is this?” Regina asked, noticing Hailey standing slightly behind Liam. She stepped to the side and when Regina saw her face, she lit up. “Oh my goodness, Lady Hailey...it’s so good to see you again!” She pulled her into a hug.
“It’s good to see you too, Regina.”
“How on earth did you two meet up again?”
Liam and Leo told Regina about Hailey and Mallory being roommates, unknowing that Leo and Liam were brothers. “Well...that is quite the story,” she smiled.
“Why don’t I show you ladies the rooms,” Leo said, as he began walking. As Hailey made her way to the staircase she looked over and saw the ballroom, her heart twinged remembering her last time in there.
“I choose....Lady Madeline.” She shook her head, and followed Leo.
“Well,” Regina said to Liam with a smile, “You must be thrilled.”
“I am,” he smiled.
“She seems different though. She used to have that...spark about her, that wild, adventurous spirit. She seems...sad...almost lost.”
“She’s...been through a lot, Regina. But, I’m hoping to bring that spark back. And I may need your help to cover some things for me over the next couple weeks while she’s here.”
“What are your intentions?”
“To win her back.” They both watched Hailey as she walked out of view down the hall to her room.
Hailey made it to her room and walked in, her luggage already inside. She walked out onto the veranda that overlooked the garden maze, and a small smile curved on her lips. She closed her eyes, remembering all the time she...they had spent in that maze. She remembered her last time being there with him, the memory flashing through her mind as if it were yesterday.
“You’re incredible in every sense of the word. And I don’t want to spend another minute without you knowing how I feel. Hailey...I love you.”
“I love you too, Liam.”
She was pulled from her thoughts by a knock on her door, turning to see Mallory.
“Hailey, I can’t believe you’ve stayed here before, this place is unreal.”
“It’s pretty incredible.”
“How are you not more excited?” she giggled.
“Well, I’ve been here before,” she smiled, “and this place brings back a lot of memories...certainly not all good ones...” Mallory gave her a sad smile.
“I’m sorry, sweetie. I didn’t even think about that. Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
“So....I saw that kiss last night.”
“Yeah...”
“You two seemed to be in your own little world on the dance floor. How do you feel about it?”
“I mean, it was nice, I’m just...I don’t know. Guarded. I need time.”
“I understand, but remember what I said about being open about it.” Hailey nodded, still staring out at the maze. “Leo and I were going to grab something to eat, he wants to take me to this restaurant here, he told me to come ask if you wanted to go?”
“Sure.”
Hailey and Mallory made their way down the hall and down the staircase where Leo was standing with Liam waiting for them. Hailey had assumed Liam would be catching up on work from the last week when he was in New York.
“Ladies,” Leo smiled, kissing Mallory and taking her hand in his. “Ready?” They both nodded, Leo and Mallory walking out first to the SUV, and Liam and Hailey following behind. They made their way down into the capitol to a small restaurant overlooking the water. When they made their way through, headed to the Kings private table, they could hear the whispers as people stared at Hailey, all giving her encouraging nods or waves, clearly remembering who she was and that her name had been cleared. It was a far cry from the way they treated her the last time she had been here. She couldn’t help but remember the headlines and the things they had said about her.
THE AMERICAN BREAKS PRINCES HEART
AMERICAN HARLOT RETURNS TO COURT
KING LIAM FURIOUS WITH AMERICAN TROLLOP
“She’ll never be anything more than the Kings doxy.”
“The American whore.”
“He doesn’t love her, he couldn’t possibly love a woman like her.”
“Hailey, you alright?” Leo asked, noticing her pained expression, pulling her back.
“Yeah....fine.”
After they ate, when they were headed back to the SUV, Liam had asked Hailey to go for a walk and she agreed. The driver took Leo and Mallory back to the palace as Bastien stayed behind keeping a distance between Liam and Hailey as they walked along the beach. They found a bench and sat down.
“So, how does it feel to be back?”
“Good...brings back a lot of memories.”
“I bet...more good than bad I hope?”
“A little bit of both,” she said as she looked down at the ground as Liam gave her a sad smile.
“Hailey, again, I’m so sorry...about everything. Everything that you went through. I’m hoping that over the next two weeks, I can change those into more good memories.” She looked up at him and gave him a slight smile. “Everything I said on the beach back in New York...I meant every word, Hailey. I just want a chance to prove it, if you’re willing to give me one.”
“Liam, I forgive you for what happened, and I know, no matter how much it hurt, that you were doing what you thought you had to do, and that you didn’t hurt me purposefully. But....you still hurt me, and it’s hard for me to forget that. I’ve built this wall, and if I let it come down, and you hurt me again...” she began to cry, “...I don’t think I’ll be able to make it through another heartbreak like that.”
“Just agree to give me a chance...I’ll do whatever I need to do to prove it to you Hailey....I’ll do anything for just the chance to show you that I love you, and to show you how much you mean to me.”
She looked over to him, this pleading, longing look in his eyes. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, as she pressed her cheek against his palm and closed her eyes. She was afraid, she wasn’t sure if she was ready to let that wall down yet, it was the only thing protecting her right now.
She then remembered Mallory’s words about being open. She opened her eyes looking at him again.
“Liam...I will give you a chance...but you need to remember, you have to give me time. Because I’ll be honest...I’m afraid. And I’m just...dealing with a lot right now.”
“I’ll give you whatever amount of time you need, Hailey. I just need you to be open with me, and honest about what you’re feeling along the way.”
She nodded her head as she wiped the tears from her face.
They stood from the bench, Liam holding his hand out to Hailey with a soft smile. She stared at him for a moment, then slowly raised her arm and put her hand in his. They began to walk back, as Bastien called for the car.
Liam knew he had this chance now, she was letting him in slowly, and he was going to make sure he didn’t take it for granted. He loved her more than anything in this world, and he wasn’t going to lose her again.

- DAMN DON'T KILL UR DEALER WHERE U GONNA GET THE NEW SHIT FROM NEXT TIME SMH VALIANT
- okay but who names their son valiant
- he was probably named valerie and didnt like it so he said “woah imma be valiant like courage, thats sick”
- that was probably his superhero persona as a child ngl
- no, shev, no respect for val stop doing this
- merlin in armour, what a fucking bLESiSNG GIVING ME THIS RIGHT ON THE SPOT BBC KNOWS WHATS GOOD
- ok a y but hear me out, merlins a servant. i have not seen any of these servants been asked to train with the royals??? like in the sense where it helps the servant train as well?? and the FIRST thing arthur does with merlin as his servant is train with him. not only is arthur a huge JOCK, he’s not using his manservant properly
- neverfuckingmind “most servants collapse after the first blow”, so it seems to be arthur likes to train with his servants. now that in itself is a question to be asked, but is he the only royal who trains with his servants??? how did this man survive on his own without a personal servant until merlin??? did he have a personal servant??? was it just regular servants?? who are those other servants he trained with??? did arthur just say hey lets go to the field in the morning, put on armour and let’s have a fun time?? UNLESS merlin literally just took someones job away from them kmao
- also my mind went right to the gutter guys, ngl, it sounded like an innuendo. it had me quaking i wish i was one of those servants
- “we all have our duties, even arthur” “it must be so tough for him, all the *hesitates* girl, all the glory”
- so we probably get at least 1 out of every 2 episodes where there’s a scene with merlin dressing arthur in his armour. bring the popcorn, lads.
- MORGANA LOOKING LIKE A FRICKEN SNACK
- the reigning champion is arthur, wonder fucking w h y
- valiant is in fucking mustard, while arthur is fucking ketchup idk why i thought of that but it happened. my literature teacher always told me to look for symbolisms. guess we found one guys.
- merlin after hating on arthur for the past episode is literally just cheering arthur on like a good husband he is
- did ARTHUR JUST SNICKER AT MERLINS “CREEP” LMAO DON'T TRY AND HIDE IT BY HUFFING AT HIM AFTERWARDS YOU FUCKING GOOF
- omg he hid it by telling merlin to do a full novel of chores
- AND MERLIN DOES IT WITH MAGIC A PAIR OF GOOFS
-  “are you using magic again” “no” merlin ffs he just saw you use magic, while the items fell and landed right in front of him while you didn’t move at aLL. they are nOT BLIND
- “very aggressive style” I MEAN SURE UTHER
- valerie be fuckboying morgana lmao with a “i saw you watching” and a, “then i will give everything to win the tournament”
- i wish this show was set in the early 2000s so i can see val in low sweatpants, a backwards cap with gelled spiky hair and cheap neon sunglasses (maybe even some gold teeth just for kicks), while hes trying to rap 50 cents or make a mixtape of brit pop songs. bc yes.
- honestly im loving my 2000 fuckboy au. gonna make an ao3 after this.
- of course merlin would be the one to find out the magic shit in valiants room, it just lures him. AND OF COURSE VALIANT IS THERE
- i'm so fucking glad arthur looks confused as to how merlin did what he asked. when u have this kind of hubby, arthur, its amazing what things he can do.
- i dont know why theres dramatic music as merlin put armour on arthur but im living for it
- “is it my imagination or are you beginning to enjoy yourself?” merlin doesn't know what to say to that bc he’s turning gay and doesn't know if that counts as enjoying oneself when the one you are gay for is the asshole prince
- typically enough, valiant and arthur never fight except for the finale. like with all conveniences in place, youd expect them to have at least fought at some point with as much knights as there to determine the final two but no, just the finale. k.
- this poor fucking purple knighted bloke didn’t need to be fucking demonstrated on, val. like you didn't need to kill him?? that could have blown ur cover
- DID NOBODY SEE THAT??? DID NOBODY SEE THE FUCKING SNAKES???
- oooh merlin found out what happened everyone gonna be fucked. nobody harms arthur is he has something to say about it
- if someone starts off a sentence with “i just saw someones snakes on their shield come alive” nobody would fucking believe you, merls. but given the fact that magic exist… mhh maybe it wouldn’t be too absurd. but ppl apparently are thick as hell
- “why were you in his chambers” well i know how id explain if i was in valiants chambers ;)
- jk i dont fall for this toxic shit
- imagine getting paid as an actor just just lie down there like this poisoned kid. “yeah, id like to audition for ewan’s role???” “why are you lying on the ground?”
- i hate those tropes where it's like “i know how to tell someones bad, here’s proof” and then nobody believes you and tells you you’re lying and should die or whatever but then you kNOW IT'S THE FUCKIN TRUTH BITCH that trope gives me damn anxiety >:((
- yes merlin, fucking slash the shield with your sword. i'm sure that's how it works. im sure it will kill the snakes.
- HOWA RE THE SNAKES ALIVE WITHOUT VAL SAYING “ISHNAHASHAHI”
- i think val would know that you cut off the snake’s head, merls, just saying. ur were the oNLY ONE.
- TELL ARTHUR WHAT??? “I CUT A SNAKE”
- EXACLTY ONG THAT'S WHAT MERLIN FUCKING SAID I WAS RIGHT LMAO
- ARTHUR BELEIVED HIM I'M FUCKING LIVING BUT IK WHAT HAPPENS AND AHH
- uhhh the anxiety is rolling up boys
- ewan is mcfuckingdead
- snake be sliding in like a hoe on a business
- bfehfjdjfskf i hate this part
- arthur's pride, merlin’s pride, fuck me
- i'm not even gonna write this part, it breaks my fragile heart when arthur sees the look of people not believing him, especially his dad, and merlin seeing how arthur doesn't trust him anymore like prepare the eulogies girlies
- okay but if arthur is struck and gaius has the antidote?? arthur aint gonna die technically
- but now val knows merlin knows
- AND MERLIN INTERVENES
- why are royals so bitchy towards servants. like they do their best to help you??? they are loyal to you and are paid there to serve you and are often very kind, generous, passive, understanding people??? yet merlin interrupts uther and he fucking sends him to the pit
- VAL YOU ASS LMAO DON'T HURT MY SON’S PRIDE
- he said allegations like four times, yes uther we know ur vocab is shining with intellect but seriously, there’s other synonyms that could still be acceptable and still sound fancy
- quick search on google bc my mind doesnt roll fast enough: claim, assertion, charge, accusation, declaration, statement, contention, deposition, argument, affirmation. see daddy uther, not hard to look up.
- forget they didnt have internet whoopsies
- :((( arthur doesn't trust merlin anymore
- the husbands FIGHT
- not just a banter petty fight, this is a huge fight
- SACKING MERLIN DON'T FUCKING SACK MERLIN YOU GOOF
- TRUST UR HUBBY
- FUCK
- I'M GONNA CRY AND IT'S ONLY EPISODE TWO
- I'M HAVING EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS CONCERNING MY TWO BOYS
- GUYS IM NOT OKAy
- its been 2 minutes after i wrote that last sentence, and i am now okay
- “a half cannot truly hate that which makes it whole” iconic as hell. so many things could be said about that quote. either for innuendo purposes, love purposes, destiny purposes, how long it took me to say it right, just so many purposes man. it’s just iconic.
- merlin looks absolutely done with kilgaharama’s shit
- “just give me a straight answer” seems like kilgarass here is being too gay for merlin
- gwen already knows merlin’s the heroin of the series, saying everyone knows it's merlin who will save the day. but same tbh
- i dunno if this is like me or not but it says her nickname is gwyn in the subtitles but im typing it as gwen which i thought was how u wrote it, even if her full name is gwynevere but like gwen has a ring to it while gwyn sounds like gwin or smth and i dunno which one is right so ill just leave it alone ahjsjfk
- MORGANA HAS VISIONS WE ALREADY KNOW WHERE THIS GOES SHES MAGIC ISNT SHE HAHAHAHAUHD
- merlin trying one last time to convince his husband not to die, but at least this time arthur knows he’s up for val’s magic and is like “k iloveyou but i have to do this for the country not just bc of pride and thinking val is not magic”
- staring into the fire like he’s hoping it would suck him up into the void, not only is merlin a now confirmed emo, so is fucking arthur it seems. perfect for one another i'm telling you
- eerie music as morgana enters… wha suddenly i can't read
- i thought at first morgana and arthur were gonna end up together cause of the fucking weird tension going on and i was prepared to be disfuckinggusted but no! the show and producers actually put my expectations away and helped me see that it wasn’t going in that direction! thank fucking god! 
- k but arthur looks majestic in his gear im just a huge bi
- “don’t go into my room” he says then gaius peaks in and almost gets mauled by a large chihuahua
- me too val, id step on someone's toes then fuck them up with an undercut. thats the bad bitch way to go. unless it for arthur, then val hahaha you can go fuck yourself
- no one sees mErLin??
- but they now see the snakes smh fakes
- “what are you doing? i didn't summon you” i don't think that will work val cause you didn't say it with a serpent tongue, it has to sound more like “shhashhwhat ahhssare hiisssyou iisshhaadoing?”
- okay but i thought arthur was impaled for a half second until he started to talk then i screamed that he was aight and he would now believe merlin
- uther better give merlin an apology
- arthur just said he wouldnt
- but still uther BETTER APOLOGISE TO FUCKING MERLIN
- “yknow i wish valiant was escorting me” “me too” i thought for a fricken moment arthur wished valiant would have escorted HIM. i'm dying.OMG
- “i wanted to say i made a mistake. it was unfair to sack you.” “don’t worry about it. buy me a drink and we’ll call it even.” DID YOU JUST SAY WHAT I THINK YOU JUST SAID MERLIN YOU SLY DOG OMG
- “i can’t really be seen to be buying drinks for my servant.” so if he wasn’t ur servant?? you’d say yes?? they are so fucking gay i can't anymore
- yeah, i literally fucking can't

But I did ask for it. I would love to know your favorite Kpop centric rappers. Only if your cool with it.
But you didn’t ask for my life story!! Lol too bad though, because here i go again. First I’m going to start by saying that I’m really upset with myself. I debated whether or not to add the following three to my list before because I didn’t know where they really lie as far as genre. Then I drove to the beach and back and the whole time I kept thinking “they’re r&b, that counts! THAT COUUUUUNTS”. I’m really frustrated they weren’t on the list before because they’re some of my absolute favorite artists. So to my list from before I’m adding my favorite crooners.Dean - voice of an angel and a style that is unmistakable. I’ll give you a for instance...if you’ve listened to the song Unfair by EXO, and you think you can hear Dean all over it from the second it starts, you’re not wrong because he had a hand in the creation of that song. And I love it.Faves by him are instagram, the unknown guest, and Bonnie and Clyde. Crush - another angel voice baby who I love and protec. In 2016 he won a MAMA for best vocal performance (male solo) and made an unforgettably adorable face which is why I’m still bringing it up today. 🤗🤗🤗 Faves of his are Don’t Forget, I Fancy You, and the first song i ever heard by him, Hey Baby ft Zion T. SPEAKING OF....Zion T. - My love of Zion T nearly matches that of BeWhy. He’s really important to me, his music is important to me. I REALLY LOVE HIM. OKAY? Lots of faves by him. My first (and still a fave) Zion song was Babay. The video is 👌👌. I was hooked. Then I fell in love with Eat and No Make Up. If you’re a lyrics reader and anywhere near as soft as I am you’ll read the lyrics to those bad boys and it’ll be swoon city. Yangwha Brdg is maybe the single most important kpop/KHH song to me. I use to listen to it on a loop when I first found out my dad had cancer. Driving to and from his treatments, sometimes I’d make him listen to it (but he preferred Winner). 행복하자. 아프지 말고 그래 is the only Hangul I’d ever consider getting as a tattoo and I think about it all the time but I’d need to know it is 100% correct before I do. Anyway, Zion T. He counts. I worry with Kpop rappers it’s just going to sound like I’m reading a list of rappers in kpop groups that you probably already know so I’m only going to do my absolute faves. G Dragon - I’m not just saying this because he’s my ULT bias in kpop and in life. I genuinely think he’s a great rapper. I make fun of him a lot as a singer and as a random noise maker, but as a rapper... he turns me all into knots, especially in his collaborations. His rap voice is just sooo... 😭😫🔥🤤😍🤗 Faves: Bullshit, Michi Go, Good Boy, Zutter and his Features in Fact - Psy, Dirty Vibe - Skrillex (with CL), Temple - Baauer (with MIA, I seriously fucking love this song), Complex - Zion T. T.O.P. - I could say a lot but I think Doom fucking Dada speaks for itself. *hair flip*Hanbin (B.I.) - I’ll be honest, in my opinion he gets overshadowed by Bobby. I think he’s amazing and doesn’t get recognized like he should. His solo One and Only is so amazing. And now he has the feature on MOLLADO?? YG give this boy a god damn solo album already. Bobby - This boy is goooood. HOLUP! Is a track and a half. Everything he did on SMTM is gold (Bounce, Go?!) Then he came out with Love and Fall, offering UP as the sexy track that we needed but don’t deserve. AND he and my boy BI are both on Psy’s song BOMB. I’m seeing a one word title theme, but I’m not gonna look that much into it. 🧐MINO!- let’s just continue this YG love fest. SONG MINO WAS ROBBED. There, I said it, and yes I’m still bitter about SMTM. My faves for him are all of his SMTM tracks, especially Okay Dokey and Fear (because I can still remember how my heart raced when YB showed up), Body, and now WHERE R U FROM which is my summer 2018 jam. 💯 Z-Z-Z-I-CO! - fun fact, I didn’t originally know Zico was in Block B. I thought he was just a solo rapper. I love him so much. His voice is so unique. It makes me think of a Batman villain. Faves include, first song I heard with him Eureka, Tough Cookie, Veni Vidi Vici, Say Yes or No (the home of my fave Quiett lyric “I gotta lotta ice like an Eskimo), Bermuda Triangle, and Fanxy ChildYongguk - His voice is a hot knife and my body is warm butter. Drunkenness was so good and people (myself included) didn’t talk about it enough. Yamazaki was indescribable, it’s still a go to for me when I want to get hype af. Jackson...effin....Wang - I mostly can not with him. His solo stuff is honestly so freaking good it makes me want to rip my damn hair out of my head. I LOVE Fendiman. Bruce Lee, are you kidding me! IM DONE WITH HIM. I still get down to Pappillon too. Suga/Min Yoongi/ AGUST D - whatever you want to call him. In general I love the BTS rap line but this one...this one is something else. I love him so damn much as much as I love his entire mixtape. I love him in every cypher. Just 100% yes. Jooheon - In everything that he does. Including his SMTM audition where he went SO HARD. OH AND LET ME JUST SLIP THIS IN HERE SHALL I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riaF34JJEcsI.M. - I almost didn’t add him because sometimes when I think about him I just think about what a cute dork he is, but then I have to pause and remind myself that he is a secret bad ass. I want more from him, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf4VhNMKww4 also his rap in Hero, and Fighter. FTW Taeyong (NCT) - hes out there doing it all and doing it well tbh. Re: my faves...essentially any NCT song, pick one...that’s the one that’s my favorite. I’m probably STILL missing a bunch. I also love Rap Monster, RM, wtf ever. His whole mixtape was fire too. And all the Bts cyphers, especially 2. Okay. That’s all.
