#does hocus pocus count as a scary movie

[lexa-griffins]

Popular Lexa and nerd Clarke watch scary movies but Lexa is a big scaredy cat since she always hides under the blanket and closes her eyes. Clarke touches Lexa under the blankets so she can relax and stay calm

It's something Clarke doesn't fully notice at first. Much like her indie bands, another one of Clarke's loves is cult horror movies. She loves them and has watched them more times than she can count.

Its their first year of college and a nice thundering night in october when Clarke asks Lexa to come to her (single) dorm to watch a few horror movies. Lexa accepts it almost immediately, posing no issue with the program.

They are all curled up under a blanket on Clarke's bed, Lexa resting her head on Clarke's shoulder as Clarke tries her best not to talk during the movie while still delivering all the facts she knows and that Lexa enjoys hearing.

Its when the first movie ends that Clarke looks at Lexa and excitedly asks her what she thought. Lexa lifts her head and offers her a smile and a "it was fun" comment but Clarke can see she is rather rigid as she says it.

"Are you sure you want to watch these? We can watch Hocus Pocus or Addams Family if you'd prefer."

Lexa immediately shakes her head, "No, no. You wanted to show me these movies and I want to watch them with you. I'm fine. Dont worry." Another smile and a kiss on Clarke's cheeks convinces her Lexa is fine with it, and she starts the second one.

They are halfway through it when Clarke realizes Lexa is shaking slightly and inching closer and closer to Clarke for comfort. Clarke rubs her thigh in comfort, kissing her temple, and Lexa makes a face at the gore happening on screen, trying to hide herself under the blanket. Clear that Lexa isn't having fun, Clarke moves her hand to pause the movie, but Lexa drags her hand back to let it play.

"Its fine Clarke. Its a scary movie. Im scared. Its doing its job."

"But you seem terrified Lexa."

"I am. But I want to watch it. I- I just need to be closer to you, and I'll be fine."

It is another ten minutes when Clarke finally thinks of a way to help her girlfriend relax.

Lexa is focused on the screen as the tension in the movie grows, seemingly trying to fully understand the lore being exposed as Clarke finds it so cute how she is trying to find an interest in a movie Clarke loves.

Her lips find Lexa's temple, teying not to startle her as she moves her hand between her legs, underneath the blanket and her leggings.

Lexa stares at her in surprise, relaxing immediately the moment she realizes what Clarke is doing, her tense expression melting away for one of love. With a kiss and a little sigh, Lexa settles against Clarke, opening her legs enough to allow her hand free access.

She still jumps and whines when something particularly scary or gory happens on screen but having Clarke's fingers inside of her, moving gently against her walls in a perfect steady rhythm, not too slow, not to fast, not enough to make Lexa desperate to cum while keeping her pleasured.

They start yet another movie still like this, but this time Lexa throws the blanket again before the movie starts and pulls at Clarke's sweatpants, urging her to take them off.

"What for baby?"

Lexa smiles as she lays her head in Clarke lap, Clarke's dick right by her mouth.

"I wanna keep you in my mouth for a bit. Keep going please, love?" Lexa pleas as she opens her legs, urging Clarke to bury her fingers inside once again.

As she does, Lexa brings Clarke's dick into her mouth, alternating between cockwarming her with her mouth and stroking her to keep her hard.

Clarke has never felt so damn lucky in her life as she keeps up the pace with her fingers, feeling Lexa clench around her when a scene scares her a little too much, easing her into relaxing once again. She brushes Lexa's hair with her fingers as her girlfriend lays on her lap, making Clarke feel good with her mouth for her own comfort. Making Lexa cum right after the movie is over because the poor girl is drenched, the feeling prompting Lexa to do the same for her, the computer nearly thrown off the bed as they giggle and move to snuggle to they can sleep.

So, so lucky.

Well, now that I've updated my favorite Christmas songs list. Here is my list of favorite Halloween songs. Note, this list is subject to change based on my mood.

Bonus: Locked Within the Crystal Ball by Black Moore's Night. It's not actually Halloween related but it has a very elemental magick feel to it so I felt it was worth a mention.

Also bonus mention for Queen's A Kind of Magic.

25. Witch's brew by Omnia. The lyrics are directly taken from Shakespeare's MacBeth but because the play is considered to be cursed the song may be cursed. The story goes that the scene with he three witches was based on an encounter Shakespeare had with some actual witches and as punishment for making them characters in his play, the play was cursed. Now actors and theatre crew consider it bad luck to say the name of the play. It's often referred to as "The Scottish Play" and the only time its name can be said is when you are talking specifically about the character. So because it might be cursed, I put it very low on the list.

24. Lost in the Shadows from the Lost Boys soundtrack. This is an old favorite as I used to watch that movie every summer but I associate it more with summer than Halloween which is why I put it so low on the list.

23. The Master's song, sung by Renfield in Dracula the musical by Frank Wildhorn.

22. Life after Life from Dracula the musical by Frank Wildhorn and sung by Dracula and Lucy.

21. Anything can happen on Halloween sung by Tim Curry for the TV movie version of The Worst Witch.

20. Hex Girl from The Hex Girls for Scooby Doo and The Witch's Ghost. From the Wiccan Eco Goth equivalent of The Spice Girls.

19. Touching old Magic AKA The Halloween song from the Halloween door episode of The Real Ghostbusters animated series. Surprisingly good for a song from an animated series from the 80s.

18. Halloween by John McCutchen. This was a pain to track down. I heard it on Halloween radio and liked it and it took me a while to find a decent recording of it.

17. Halloween by J. P. Ashkar. This song was a Tiktok hit last Halloween and the full (longer) version of the audio can be found on Youtube. It's really very catchy.

16. Creepy Crawlies by Scary Bitches. This song was (for many years) the unofficial theme song to the Spirit Halloween store. The first time I heard it was on the radio in a Spirit Halloween store.

15. Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) by David Bowie. Not quite Halloween related but it plays on Halloween radio and so does Magic Dance (which is listed under this one). The album Scary Monsters (and super Creeps) inspired Danny Elfman during his Oingo Boingo days.

14. Magic Dance by David Bowie for the movie Labyrinth. Sung by Jareth, The Goblin King, and his goblin minion, to entertain a human baby.

13. The Witches are back to the tune of the similarly named Elton John song, from Hocus Pocus 2.

12. One way or Another. The Hocus Pocus 2 version sung by Bette Midler.

11. I put a spell on you. Bette Midler's cover from Hocus Pocus.

10. Horror in Action by Kayak. For some reason this song makes me think of Cain and The House of Mystery horror anthology comics by DC.

9. You won't survive by Count Crow. A parody version of "I will Survive" sung by Dracula to his victims. I just think it's darkly funny.

8. Fright Night from J. Geils Band. This is the title track for the movie Fright Night from 1985 starring the late Roddy McDowall as a hasbeen horror actor who is dragged into the world of the supernatural when teenager, Charlie Brewster, believes his neighbor to be a real vampire. Peter Vincent must overcome his fears and becomes the hero he always pretended to be. Roddy McDowall's voice is even sampled briefly in the song.

7. Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. How can I not love this classic? But my favorite version of it is a recording I actually only heard relatively recently. Vincent Price's cover from the 1970s.

6. Thriller by Michael Jackson and Vincent Price. I mostly love it for the iconic dance but most especially for Vincent Price's poem / "Rap" and of course his iconic cackle at the end of the song. My friend Sarah used Vincent Price's cackle from the song as my ringtone on her cellphone for many years.

5. Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr. This one is a childhood favorite. The title track to the original Ghostbusters movie and the theme song for The Real Ghostbusters animated series. The animated series inspired me to study parapsychology and made me want to be a parapsychologist when I was thirteen.

A recent interview with Ray Parker Jr. revealed that he loves the song because it always makes people smile. No one is ever crying when the Ghostbusters song is playing. He said how even little kids will answer "Who you gonna call?" with "Ghostbusters!" And that's what he likes about the song, it brings people joy. There's no negative emotion attached to the song. And I realized he's right. It's just a fun song.

4. Pet Sematary by The Ramones. Deliberately misspelt, this song was the title track for the movie of the same name, based on the novel by Stephen King. I actually like the song more than the movie. The song is from the point of view of someone who doesn't want to be raised from the dead. In role playing games I always made this the favorite song of my original character, Shelley.

A cover of the song was performed by Plain White Ts for the soundtrack of Tim Burton's remake of Frankenweenie (he was remaking his own short film but as stop motion). I actually prefer the original Ramones version. Though I do love it's use for a Frankenstein story.

3. Weird Science by Danny Elfman / Oingo Boingo. I love the song for it's bouncy nature. Yes, it's "Mainstream' but so what? Oingo Boingo fans who refuse to like any of their "mainstream" songs are (in my opinion) kind of pretentious. Yes, it was written for a cheesy teen comedy that later became a 90s teen sitcom on USA Network. But so what? The song is from the point of view of a scientist / sorcerer or alchemist attempting to create life. It's heavily inspired by Bride of Frankenstein and the version used in the opening of the Weird Science TV series samples clips from Bride of Frankenstein.

In role playing games I often made this the favorite song of my "therapist for monsters" character Percy Van Helsing.

2. Dead Man's Party. This song will now always remind me of a wonderful time I had with my cousin and soul sister, Jessica Louise Conroy and her son, Joey, at Six Flags last Halloween season. It played a lot over the speakers there and was already a Halloween favorite of mine. It's by Danny Elfman from when he was the lead singer of the rock band Oingo Boingo. And it makes reference to the scary story "Room for One More." Today Danny Elfman uses it as his encore performance at the end of his Nightmare before Christmas concerts but between 1996 until 2015 he did not perform it live. Now it's tradition that he adds it to his annual Nightmare before Christmas concerts. And the song became the basis for Six Flag's Halloween stage show of the same name, "Dead Man's Party."

1. This is Halloween. Written by Danny Elfman for Nightmare before Christmas it finally reached the Billboard Top 100 for the first time this year. My favorite recording of it is the demo version sung by Danny Elfman himself because it sounds like Jack Skellington is giving you a tour of his home town.

Another Bonus: I also love Halloween Bash by Irving Fink. I didn't put it on the list before because I couldn't remember who recorded it. I knew it as "Monster Bash" from Halloween Radio, a song I heavily associate with my dearest friend Lorie Pringle

Halloween HORRORscopes

Published in The Haven

     If you’re curious about what's in store for your sign this Halloween, you’re in luck: I’ve got your hair-raising, spine-tingling, painstakingly punny, Dad-joke-laden horoscope forecasts for All Hallow's Eve.

ENJOY!

Aries ♈

    A la The Addams Family, you’re preoccupied with everything eerie. Skeletons, mummies, and spirits are at the top of the list, but hoodoo and magic could also call out to you. A seance at a cemetery could be just the thing to cure your craving for the odd and macabre… 

Taurus ♉

     Trick-or-treating is a thing of the past. This time around, you and your screammates should throw a party on Elm Street (that’s where Freddy Kreuger lives). While you’re at it, invite Jason Voorhees, Michael Meyers, and Chucky. From what I hear, when these three are at a party, they slayyyyy… 

Gemini ♊

     Grab your broomstick, slap on your pointy hat and light those candles, because your daily routine is in for a witchy makeover. You’re eschewing the mundanity of muggle life for banishing hexes, summoning spells, potions and sigils. And literally all you want to watch is Harry Potter and Hocus Pocus… 

Cancer ♋

     Costume idea: A werewolf! You’ve already got that changeling thing down pat, but it’ll be a fun change of pace to unleash your inner beast and howl at the moon-- if only for a fright night. If going out isn’t your bag, consider staying in and binge-watching werewolf horror movies… 

Leo ♌

     Living dead are coming to your haunted house for a grim night in. Bats, black cats, cobwebs and voodoo dolls provide the perfect atmosphere for a oujia board seance. Of course, you and your undead friends could also prowl through a graveyard and tell ghost stories until dawn. Your choice… 

Virgo ♍

     Vampires, boogeymen and hellions are taking over your streets, but there’s no need to freak. Elvira, Mistress of the Damned, is a Virgo and she never lets any hellions mess with her. So, repeat after me: I’m a horrible hag and no hellion, ghoul, goblin or ogre can mess with me…   

Libra ♎

       Listen to them, the children of the night. Be they poltergeist, warlock or banshee, they’re shrieking for you to join them in a Halloween spook spree. Sharpen your fangs, don your cape and get ready to scary the living sh** out of your dorm, because these cursed companions mean business… 

Scorpio ♏

     Spiders are a good source of protein, so throw a few in your cauldron. The magic potion may not list spiders as a main ingredient, but you’re a crafty witch and you can do as you please. Besides, arachnids balance the bitterness of boomslang skin and newt eye quite nicely…  

Sagittarius ♐

     Spirits of the dead (both literally and figuratively) may rise from the grave and haunt you all day and night. Like zombies, these invisible phantoms seek to feed on your head and heart. The panacea to this paranormal problem isn’t sleep-- dreams are where they get ya --but direct confrontation… 

Capricorn ♑

     Count Chocula has a coven of monstrous pals-- Boo Berry, Franken Berry, The Swirled Ghost --and they’re always down for a Halloween bash. You should do as the Count does: get out of your coffin, call your fright night fam and troll the town for a creepy bash to crash… (I hear Taurus is throwing a rager over on Elm Street.)

Aquarius ♒

     Ancient apparitions (otherwise known as wraiths) could come knocking on the door of your tomb / casket / catacomb. Who you gonna call? Um, Ghostbusters, duh. They’ll blast those spectres back into the past. But watch out: they might splatter ectoplasm all over the place and that goo is hard to clean up…  

Pisces ♓

     Pumpkins become jack-o-lanterns when humans cut out their innards and carve shapes into their flesh. From their gooey guts rise their souls, this is well known in Gourd lore. You might want to familiarize yourself with this and other Halloween myths, or just go make a myth of your own…

Leaves, nighttime and 🗝 please! 💗

leaves - do you like to visit cemeteries? Back in high school, my friends and I used to play tag late at night in cemeteries. Now? They creep me out. Sign me up to be buried in one of those tree pods in a forest!

nighttime - favorite halloween movie? Does "Nightmare Before Christmas" count?? I'm not a big fan of scary movies. Actually, I spend Oct-Dec watching Christmas movies so... but I do love "Hocus Pocus", of course, "Practical Magic", and if I do want creepy, I'll go for something like "The Others".

🗝 - pumpkin carving or pumpkin painting? Pumpkin carving! I'm horrible at it, and I hate the smell 😂, but do it every year!

Thanks for sending!! ❤️

gorillaz with their s/o during halloween headcanons ( separate )

a/n : first post <3

reader : gender neutral

warnings : tiny nsfw *cough, murdoc, cough*

— 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭 ( 2D ) 𝐩𝐨𝐭

stuart loves halloween! he absolutely adores it.

his favorite part is of course the candy. he’s buying you all the candy you want. he doesn’t care if he goes broke - your smile is way too cute during the spooky season.

stu would definitely be down to do matching couples costumes, although this poor boy would need help getting into his costume. </3

would pepper your face with kisses when he sees you in the halloween costume. you look adorable!

“i wish i was as cute as you, love!”

murdoc gags when he sees you & 2D sharing so much affection. it’s sickening.

you guys go trick or treating together! you leave the candy bowl on the porch of kong studios murdoc & noodle probably steal all the candy & begin your journey to get a crap ton of sweets.

if you get tired trick or treating, 2D drops you back off at kong studios & continues collecting more candy for you <3

the night ends with you and stu watching family halloween movies like “hocus pocus” since he’s too scared of the horror movies.

— 𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐨𝐜 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐬

he probably hates quite a bit of holidays due to his rough past with his father...

however, halloween is his exception!

murdoc doesn’t dress up but would like to see you in a costume. he would be floored.

mudz even suggests to get you a costume himself, but he’s going to get you lingerie or something if you do. he would definitely get you some sort of devil or angel costume.

“sweetheart, look at the costume i got you. what do you think of it~?”

“i think you didn’t plan on noodle being here with us.”

you guys watch horror movies together since he wouldn’t want to go trick or treating. if there’s a sex scene during the movie he’s going to try and make subtle flirts.

just for you, he will take noodle with you two to go into a haunted house. he doesn’t get scared, neither does noodle, but it’s the thought that counts. you all laugh as you make fun of the crumby decorations and cheap jump-scares.

if you’re ever scared during this holiday, murdoc will simultaneously protect you and tease you like the asshole he is.

— 𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐞

she’s confused by this holiday and amazed at the same time. like what?? you get to dress up and get candy?? yes please??

ngl she mixes up christmas with halloween sometimes. near the end of october, you found her hanging up mistletoe & she asked you-

“people hang up mistletoe during halloween, don’t they?”

you don’t even know how she came up with that conclusion, but you’re 99.9% sure murdoc told noodle the misinformation.

she loves to do specia effects makeup for you if you’re dressing up as a ghoul or a vampire or something!

noodle has fallen in love with pumpkin carving. one day, she comes back with so many pumpkins and candles and she decorated literally all of them with you of course.

late at night, she goes to the movies with you to watch re-releases of movies. she takes you to see “child’s play”, though you both get stopped by gorillaz fans who are dying for an autograph.

noodle forces asks you politely to play board games while listening to spooky music. although, some songs on the mixtape have titles like “last christmas” & “all i want for christmas is you”, so you suppose she’s still getting mixed up...

at the end of the night, she curls up with you and reads you some horror book to conclude the spooky season. <3

— 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐬

he too loves halloween, just not as much as noodle. russ is down for whatever his s/o wants to do.

he bakes you some cookies, and if you’re allergic, makes you scary-themed drinks. there’s a bunch of fake eyeballs and such & it’s all very cute. he asks you if it’s good, and the way he does it is so adorable. <3

you both decorate the studio and literally, the whole thing gives you serotonin. he helps you reach places you can’t, you reach the smaller places for him, etc. while doing this, you’re simultaneously dancing to music which is mostly not even spooky related and just making each other laugh.

russel loves to hand out candy to the little kids. he thinks they’re always going to be these sweet ragamuffins but kong studios is literally near a graveyard so not many kids come omg. that all changed when a collective group of teenagers decided to toilet paper the building. russ scared them so bad they left like 🏃‍♀️💨

he may or may not be thinking of what having kids is like when he sees you handing out candy with him-

you head to a corn maze with him and you all got lost that you stayed there until an employee had to rescue you both. for half an hour before you escaped the maze, russel tried to assure you he knew where he was going.

you childishly make a blanket fort with him, and yes, you cuddle and end up sleeping until 1 pm the next day <3

Almost

AN: Hello everyone, I am fairly new to posting on this app, so therefore I am still learning how to use it. Hehe :) Anyways, I hope you are having a great day!

Warning: Nothing really, maybe a little bit of angst? 

Zayn and Y/n broke up and all he’s left with are the videos she took during their senior year of high school.

September 1st, 2010: 

The camera was set up in her hand as she was slightly fixing her hair, a huge smile plastered on her makeup covered face. He always thought she looked better without makeup, but sometimes you couldn’t beat the insecurities. 

“Here we are, the first day of senior year! How are we feeling, Zayn?” 

Next to her stood himself, a much younger version of himself. Two years to be exact. He was almost unrecognizabel, with his usual high school attire adoring his body. A white tee-shirt, black skinny jeans, and not to mention his varsity football jacket hanging off of his shoulders. She looked lovingly at her boyfriend, her eyelashes beating against the softness of her rounded cheeks. 

“I’m ready to get out of here, the last three years were the upmost worst years of my life.” Zayn spoke truthfully, he hadn’t expected to make it past the ninth grade, but with the help of Y/n, he managed to make it all the way to his graduating year. Y/n gave him an offended look before responding, “Hey! If it weren’t for these last three years, you would’ve never met me, let alone had the courage to talk to me. Am I really that bad?” 

She laughed out while speaking, all so he knows that she is joking and would never accuse him of thinking such things. Though, he was already two steps ahead of her and was laughing along at her sad attempt of looking offended. “Of course not, baby. You are what kept me going.” With that, Zayn kissed her temple and she let out a small giggle before stopping the camera. 

September 5th, 2010:

Random small talk was heard on the computer sitting in front of Zayn, before her face showed with a bright glow. She was so beautiful it almost hurt. She was laughing at something her friend Emery said, though it was completely inaudible, he just let the smile take over his face hearing her laugh again. 

“I don’t exactly know why I turned this on, but hello! We successfully made it through the first week of school, and let me just say, it was not fun. The teachers still hate me.” Again, Y/n laughed towards the camera. 

“I remember this one time last year when Mr. Lambert threw me out of class because I wouldn’t stop laughing. In my defence, he was talking about the safety of condoms and Zayn kept mocking him. That was a detention worth going to.” Zayn remembered that day clearly. He sat to the left of Y/n, Mr. Lambert’s first mistake, and would whisper in her ear how he would show her the proper way to wear a condom when they got to her house that night. To say he did end up showing her was an understatement. 

The camera then turned to her friend before she continued on with what she was saying, “Anyways, Emery here, has informed me about this back to school party for seniors at Anthony Stilettos house. So, we are heading to the mall so we can get a nice looking outfit for tonight. I’ll see you guys later!”  And with that the camera switched off.

He thought that was the end of the video, but when she popped back on his screen, he was pleasantly surprised. She wore a black dress that just reached her knees, the end of it rippled and flew each time she took a step. Her hair and makeup was done, and her shoes matched her dress, she really was the most beautiful person he has ever met. 

Without saying anything, Y/n moved the camera to where the view was now on Emery. She wore a simple tight red dress that fit her like a glove, she was placing bobby pins in her hair before realising a camera was watching her every move. Emery turned away from the mirror Y/n had in her room, and started making random poses into the camera. The video finally ended with Y/n facing the camera back to herself while laughing at it. 

October 7th, 2010: 

It was homecoming. Their final homecoming, and of course, Zayn asked her to be his date. He didn’t go all out like the previous years, this particular year was asked right after they finished giving each other their all. They were bunched up together, all sweaty and breathless, and that is when Zayn asked her to go to homecoming with him. He thought it was gross because of their previous activities, but Y/n thought it was sweet, endearing even. It was personal and intimate, she wouldn’t have had it any other way. Plus, she was tired of all the attention that comes with getting asked to homecoming. 

Her dress was a beautiful shade of baby yellow, Zayn wore his usual black suit but with a yellow tie and a yellow rose pinned to his coat pocket. The night couldn’t have been anymore magical. 

“Z, are you ready to go? Emmy and Dallas are waiting in the car.” Her soft voice echoed through the speakers, she was worried about being late. But more so, excited about what the night had planned for the couple. Zayn was fixing his hair, like he does any other day, however today, he wanted to look his absolute best. “Just one more second, love. Gotta look perfect before leaving these four secured walls.” 

Y/n rolled her eyes into the camera before another smile took over her face. It only got wider as he finally announced that he was ready. 

“Baby, you look handsome! You don’t need all that hair gel, make one wrong move and we’re calling you Uncle Jesse.” Zayn scoffed, his hands finding their place on her hips, him being pressed up against her back. His chin resting on her shoulder, they looked so in love. They were so in love. 

October 31st, 2010: 

Fall was Y/n’s favorite season, meaning Halloween was by far her favorite holiday. She squealed into the camera when Zayn walked out in his Peter Pan costume. “Baby, you look so fucking adorable!” She cooed, though Zayn was having none of it. “Do we have to go to this party? Can’t we just stay in and watch scary movies, I promise I will protect you if you get too scared!”

He knew it was no use, Y/n had been going on and on about Anthony’s costume party for the past week, so when she started laughing, Zayn internally groaned. “Brave of you to assume I will get scared during a horror movie. How about we go for just an hour, then you and I can come back here and watch whatever movie you want?” 

At that, his ears perked, he could go for an hour. That gives him all the more time alone with his love. “Hocus Pocus? That’s my favorite.” 

“Yes baby, we can watch Hocus Pocus, do this for me, and I’m all yours for the rest of the night.” A grin was stretched across his face as she leaned up and gave a peck to his lips. Adoration shining brightly in her eyes as she looked up at him. “You are so lucky I love you, Y/n.” 

“I love you, Zayn. More than you will ever know.” 

December 31st, 2010:

“Hola, my favorite people! Happy New Years Eve, I hope you guys are having a good day. My family is having a little party to bring in the new year, even though you won’t be watching this until later when I decide to post it, I hope you guys have an amazing holiday. Be safe now. Bye!”

Christmas and New Year’s was hard for Y/n. She had major separation anxiety for everyone she grows close to, so not being able to see the people she loves for a whole two weeks was taking a toll on her. Not to mention, Zayn went back to Bradford for the holidays, so he wasn’t there to keep her calm. All she had was the emails and messages he would send her.  

However, that night was different. She didn’t know what it was, but the air felt more intoxicating. There was something she was missing and the young girl couldn’t put her finger on it. 

Emery got ahold of Y/n’s camera without her noticing, pressing the ‘record’ button and smiling.

“Hi, as many of you may know, my name is Emery White. Before questions start racing through your head about where Y/n is, she is currently in the kitchen talking to one of her neighbors, and she knows nothing about this so, shhh!” Emery held her index finger up to her mouth, even though she is talking to a camera. 

“So, the time is now 11:58, meaning it is almost New Year’s and I got a message from a good friend of mine to get her camera and start recording. Oh wait, she’s coming over! Act normal!” 

“Emmy? Why do you have my camera, wait no, when did you get my camera?” Emery turned her neck to look at Y/n, and smiled while looking at her friends confused face. “It’s almost midnight, I figured we could record the big moment for your journal thing.” 

Y/n looked at her watch and sure enough, it was 12:59, and the people around her were counting down. By the time Y/n looked back at her friend, Emery had switched her position to behind the camera, her smile now stretching to her eyes. She gave a confused smile towards the camera before shaking her head. 

10..

9..

8..

A tap was felt on Y/n’s shoulder making her turn around, not believing her eyes, she had to do a double take. There he was in all of his glory. Zayn stood in front of her with a bouquet of random flowers, her eyes widening in complete shock. 

3..

2..

1!

Before she could fully process his presence, Zayn had planted his lips against hers in what he would call, one of their best kisses. His arms went around her waist while hers were around his neck, keeping him as close as humanly possible. She was the first to pull away from the kiss, tears forming at the bottom of her eyes but never fell. Zayn pulled her back, this time her face went into his neck as he whispered out a small, “Happy New Years, baby.” 

May 22nd, 2011: 

Senior prom, a day Y/n has waited her entire life for. Getting all dolled up for one night of perfection sounded glorious. Unlike most people, her dress doesn’t reach the floor but goes a little ways past her knees. It was a light shade of green, she wasn’t usually one for the cliche pink and blue, and her stomach was laced over showing her belly button peircing. She felt on top of the world, the most gorgeous she has ever felt in her entire life. 

Zayn was in a nude tuxedo, a lightish green tie tucked into the blazer. “It’s prom day, baby, how do you feel?” The now well-known camera placed in front of his face, though he paid no attention to it, but really the girl behind it. “Like I have the most beautiful girlfriend in the world. How did I get so lucky, hm?” 

The blush was evident on her face, he could see it perfectly now even with the camera facing him and not herself. He could still see the light in her eyes. Looking back on it, he couldn’t imagine living his life without her, how could he let her go? 

It wasn’t like they got in a fight or anything, Zayn and Y/n were going to different colleges and he didn’t want to do the whole long distance thing. He felt she deserved better than that. So even though the breakup was absolutely not a mutual agreement, Y/n somewhat understood and let him walk away. 

“You’re such the charmer, Zayn. Always got me blushing for no good reason.” 

“I would be a bad boyfriend if I didn’t.” 

Now turning the camera to face both of them, Zayn placed a kiss on her lips before turning off the camera and letting their night go on as best as it could, for it would be one of the last good memories they have. Except at the time, neither of them knew the last time would actually be the last time. 

June 4th, 2011: 

“Hey everyone, I just want to start off by saying congratulations, we made it. Graduating today was the most amazing feelings, and I’m sure you all can agree with me. The past four years have really taught me a lot, I know I sound like the Mallory Barnes, our valedictorian that gave the speech today, but I’m serious, you all have been amazing. Teachers included.” 

Y/n wasn’t in her usual attire. She was in a comfortable baggy hoodie, and that’s all you could see as her camera was propped on the desk in the corner of the room. Her hair was in a messy bun, no makeup, and her glasses were sat perfectly on her nose. What no one could notice was the slight puffiness to her eyes, the way they were red and tired. But Zayn noticed, however. When Y/n first uploaded this to her instagram, Zayn couldn’t bare to watch it, so seeing it now definitely brought back a feeling he tried too hard to push away. 

“In the past four years I have learned about friendships, I learned about love, and I learned about heartbreak. I have got to say, high school brought me some really great friendships that I will cherish forever. I am finding it very difficult to say goodbye, but we are bound to go off and do bigger and better things. The future awaits for us.” 

“I just want to thank you guys for the amazing memories, and I hope you guys make your dreams come true.” Y/n sighed into the camera, she was really bad at saying goodbye, though you would think it would be easier considering no one likes high school. However, Y/n loved every single second of it, maybe not the learning but the memories made.

“Now, I am going to get really sappy for a minute and say a massive thank you to the man who has loved me for the past four years. Zayn, I know we haven’t talked in a few weeks, and you’re probably not even watching this, but just know that I am so proud of you.  I don’t know how I could not be. I really hope you make something wonderful of yourself. You were by far my favorite part of this journey. Thank you for sticking with me and for loving me. And even though we aren’t together anymore, I love you.”

“We almost had it all, didn’t we?” 

AN: Yeah, I don't think I like this babahahah. Love the concept but someone out there could definitely write it better.

rock on; t. jost

WARNINGS: none WORD COUNT: 2.2k A/N: I wrote this back when Josty blessed all the goths with his black lipstick and choker and space buns last Halloween, so I thought well, why not re-post it and here it is. 

“Babe?”

“Mhm…”

You watch in amusement as Tyson hovers around your makeup table, occasionally picking at an item now and then to inspect it before setting it back in its place. Although he tries to make himself appear as nonchalant as he can, you know there is something on his mind that made him circle around the area for the past half hour or so. You didn’t think much of it initially until he started uncapping some lipsticks, twirling them up for inspection, eyebrows furrowing in concentration before setting them down again. If you didn’t know him for as long as you did, you’d pass off his behaviour as an act of boredom, but you can swear you know him even better than you know yourself at times. There is purpose to his movement, and you’re set on finding out what’s been nagging at him. 

“See anything you like?” you ask cautiously, though there’s a hint of amusement in your voice. 

“What? No, I was just…” He lifts his shoulders in a shrug, placing a pencil back in its place and for a brief moment, he catches your eyes in the mirror. It isn’t until you arch a brow in silent question that Tyson turns to face you properly. “So, you know how we have that little get together for Halloween tonight?” he questions, and you prompt him to carry on with a quick nod of your head. “Well, since you and Olivia are going to wear matching costumes, Dante and I thought of doing the same thing.”

“Let me guess. You two are finally agreeing with our Flintstones costumes, and will dress as Fred and Barney?”

Tyson chuckles and he shakes his head, almost regretfully. “Not quite. But, uh, do you happen to have a really dark shade of lipstick? Like a dark purple or…black, even?” 

You sit up slowly then crawl over to sit closer to the foot of the bed. “I think I do. I’m pretty sure I do. Why do you ask?” 

“Well, remember when we watched that Scooby Doo movie and you said you really liked those Hex Girls?” 

You’re just a split second away from confirming you remember that because it only happened the previous night. You and Tyson knew you’d be hanging out with a few friends on Halloween night, so you booked off the Eve of it solely for yourselves. The movies were rolling one after the other throughout most of the day and the two of you went from watching genuinely scary films to children’s stuff like Hocus Pocus or Paranorman, though you found that both of you were especially keen on Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. Whether it had to do with it being such a childhood classic or the familiarity of the characters, you and Tyson made sure you had enough snacks to last you the full run of the movie without either of you having to get up for refills. By the end of it, you were both trying to one-up each other for the best impersonation of the Hex Girls though you barely managed to make it halfway through before giving in to fits of laughter. 

The coin dropped then.

“No way…” you exclaimed quietly while Tyson confirmed your guess with a quick nod and a big grin, clearly proud of the decision he and Dante came to at some point and could now finally put it to practice. 

“Uh-huh. Well, we’re not dressing up as the Hex Girls but they’re definitely the inspiration, so… Think you can help?” 

The sheer excitement of the thought made you squeal and jump up off the bed properly, clapping your hands together, mind already racing through the endless possibilities. Sure, you should probably make a start on putting together your own look for the approaching evening, but this was so much more exciting. Betty Rubble could wait. Tyson in a goth-rock look, however? You had to help him make a start on it – right now. 

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about this sooner! I could’ve—oh gosh, we could’ve put together so many things!” you exclaimed while circling around him to browse quickly through a few items across the vanity, setting aside some tools in a pile you mentally labelled as the for-consideration pile. 

“I trust you with this,” he assured, turning to sit properly in the seat while watching you go through what to him, seemed like endless options. “So, we’re thinking the full works, you know? All black outfits, maybe even makeup to go with it… What do you think?” 

“I think this will be the best Halloween,” you confirm to him and press a quick kiss to his mouth for extra measure. Once you straighten up though, something keeps you hovering just behind Tyson to consider him with a slight tilt of your head and a narrowing of your eyes. Almost subconsciously, you bring a hand up to his hair, running your fingers through the curls and the gesture makes him tilt his head back in silent encouragement to keep doing that. “How about space buns?” you ask quietly, almost to yourself and briefly test out the idea by gathering some of his hair to part it. It’s long enough now, and so easy to work with that it’d be too much of a shame to pass on the opportunity. “Please say yes.” 

Tyson laughs quietly, reaching back for one of your hands and giving it a light tug so that you can let him guide it to his mouth. He presses a kiss to the heel of your palm and then the inside of your wrist. 

“Go for it.” 

The fun begins then and though the idea is very much Tyson and Dante’s, the entire process becomes your own. 

You dig out an old black denim jacket you almost forgot about and when you both come to the conclusion that it’s probably a little too tight for Tyson around the arms and therefore not quite as rock-and-roll, you take a pair of scissors to it despite his endless string of assurance that surely there’s something else he could use. 

“Babe, it has little gems around it. You can’t say no to the early 2000s type gems on clothing,” you tell him in a deadpan voice and that seems to do it just right. 

The dressing up part is the easiest and perhaps the most straightforward, but when you finally sit him down at the vanity again so that you can make a start, Tyson makes you line up everything you’ll use so he can take a picture and send it to Dante. Just to make sure that they’ll be as closely matched as possible. 

Tyson follows your guidance to a T: he looks up when you line his bottom lash line and looks down when you make a start on his eyelids; he parts his lips a little just before you make a start on lining them (not before exclaiming how good this entire look is coming along and pressing another kiss on his mouth which he returns just before you take a pencil to it) and bites down on a small folded tissue when you tell him. 

All the while, you prevent him from trying to glimpse himself in the mirror but after he gets past the first two complaints (“babe, come on I just want to look really quick” and “is it because I don’t fit this at all and you’re trying to soften the blow?”), Tyson simply settles quietly, legs spread just enough to let you stand closer while parting his hair. Occasionally, he’d loosely wrap his arms around your waist or casually caress your sides with his palms but other than that, the entire situation is reminiscent of days from childhood when you and your girlfriends would take turns helping each other with dress-up and sitting as still as possible out of sheer fear the slightest inclination of your body would ruin everything. 

It isn’t until you finish doing one of the space buns that you lean back a little to look at him properly, and you can’t help the small giggle that escapes your mouth. 

“I think this is it, baby,” you tell him. “This is the costume for you.” 

A slight furrow forms on his face and his smile is almost cautious. “I can’t tell if you mean it’s horrifically good or horrifically horrific. Not that I don’t trust your skills!” he corrects quickly, before you even have the chance to consider that in the first place. “I don’t think I’d trust anyone with a pencil anywhere near my eye except you, but I’m pretty sure between the two of us, you’d rock the eyeliner, dark lipstick and space buns better than anyone can.” 

You arch an eyebrow but waste no more time getting started on the second bun. “What, you’re telling me you never let Kacey lure you into playing dress up as kids?” There’s a moment of hesitation, so you know you got him. Besides, you’ve seen the photos. Those were some of the first Kacey showed you as soon as Tyson introduced you to his family. “Thought so. Now let me just get this one done and you’ll see you might just give Dusk a run for her money.” 

Try as you might though, and you couldn’t tame one of his curls from falling over his forehead and though you had an apparent endless supply of pins, you decided to give them a pass. There is something so incredibly endearing about that one loose strand that refused to be tamed and besides, you figured Instagram would thank you for it if any photos were to go up on the internet. For extra safety, you twirl it around your finger then set it loose before bringing your palms up to hover in front of his eyes. 

“Alright, now turn around slowly and I dare you to tell me this isn’t an entire look.” 

He does as told and once he’s facing the mirror, you make an entire show out of removing your hands, complete with a ta-dah! 

At once, his mouth falls open and slowly, he turns his head one way then the other before tilting it down just enough to catch a full glimpse of the buns sitting atop his head.

“Oh my god…” he mutters, and you can tell his voice is caught somewhere between regret and amusement, so you wrap your arms around his shoulders, bringing your head down to rest on his shoulder after pecking his cheek quickly. 

“If Dante came up with this idea, I’m buying him the most lavish box of chocolates. If you came up with this idea, it’ll take a lot to beat it, I promise that,” you assure him and Tyson bursts into embarrassed laughter. 

“I look like I’m about to record the remix to an Alice Cooper song.” 

“I wanna kiss you but I want it too much. I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison,” you quote in a soft sing-song voice and just as you’re about to pull away from him just to add that extra dramatic flair, Tyson catches your wrist and reels you back in towards him gently, meeting you halfway as he stands up. 

“Keep going,” he murmurs against your mouth.

You chuckle softly, kissing the corner of his mouth. “Don’t spoil your lipstick so soon, baby. You didn’t even get to show it off to everyone else, so let’s save it for later, okay?”

It isn’t until you emerge from your bedroom almost an hour later after completing your own dress up that you notice Tyson had one extra surprise up his sleeve. He turns towards the sound of your footsteps and gleaming around his neck is a spiked leather choker that makes your jaw fall open. He stretches his arms out and does a slow spin, and when he faces you again, he tips his head back just a little as if to give you a better view.

“Yes? No?” he questions, and you detect a trace of hesitance in his voice. 

“Yes,” you confirm, almost breathlessly as you close the gap between the two of you and despite your earlier warning, kiss him even if some of the black lipstick might transfer onto your own hot pink one. It’s no bother, anyway. You have your tube and Tyson’s packed in your clutch. 

Just as you’re about to make a move towards the door, however, Tyson stops you and encourages you to do a full spin. 

“Wow,” he exclaims, following that up with a low whistle. “It’s really not too late at all for me to get into that Barney costume.” 

“Absolutely not,” you state firmly and to make your point even clearer, you quickly push him out of the door. “Betty Rubble and Wilma Flintstone are going to just have a girls’ Halloween get-together and we’ll see our husbands when we get back home. Meanwhile, you and Dante can put on a show worthy of a 2000s middle school goth-rock party. Hey, do you know the lyrics to My Chemical Romance’s I’m Not Okay?”

“I’m not singing My Chemical Romance,” Tyson says quickly, almost stumbling his words in doing so as if saying it any slower would mean he’d have to do it right there and then.

“Oh, you are so singing My Chemical Romance,” you say softly, voice taking on that sing-song tone again and burst into laughter as Tyson groans, gently bumping his head against the steering wheel.

Love Sick | JHS

♡ Summary: When you’re sick on your favorite holiday, Hoseok just wants to make you feel better. ♡ Pairing: Hoseok x Gender Neutral!Reader ♡ Genre: Fluff, established relationship ♡ Rating: G ♡ Warnings: None ♡ Word Count: 1.8k ♡ A/N: For @btsholidaybingo​. Halloween may be over on the calendar, but it still lives on in my heart and through my Halloween wips that I’m still working through. Bingo Square: Horror Movies

Jiminie: Hyung is freaking out because you're not answering his calls or texts

You sigh when your phone vibrates for what seems like the hundredth time and finally look at it.

Y/n: Sorry, I've been asleep all day

That isn’t a lie. You had slept most of the early morning away. The rest of the day was spent watching bad Netflix horror movies and throwing up what was left of your tainted dinner from the previous night. Of all the days your body decides it’s time to be ill, being sick on your favorite holiday was truly a betrayal.

Jiminie: All day? It's nearly four, and it’s Halloween. What's wrong?

Y/n: Nothing! I’m pretty sure I just have food poisoning. 

Y/n: DON'T TELL HOSEOK. I don't want him worrying about me. You know how he is when I’m sick.

You should've known not to trust Jimin to keep your secret. Out of all of the members, you’re closest to Jimin and trust him most. Even so, you know this little tidbit of information is going to slip through his friend filter and that he’s going to tell Hoseok out of worry for you.

Not even half an hour after you’ve sent him the text and he replies with an 'okay,’ you hear your front door open. You bury yourself further under the covers and groan, making a mental note to exact revenge on Jimin when you feel better.

"Y/n!?"

As annoyed as you are with Jimin, you can’t help but smile at the sound of Hoseok's voice. It’s one of your favorite sounds.

"In my room!" You manage to croak out, throat feeling raw. You listen to his footsteps rushing down the hall and the crinkling of a paper bag. You smile at the sight of your boyfriend, looking at you with eyes full of concern

"Why didn't you tell me you were sick!?" Hoseok sets the bag on your bedside table and gingerly climbs into bed next to you.

"I didn't want to worry you. Plus, you guys have that huge Halloween party going down at Big Hit tonight. I wanted you to enjoy your day."

Hoseok smiles warmly at you before pulling the comforter back to see more of your face. "Baby, you should already know that I would give up any and every party to spend my day with you. I always enjoy being with you, sickness that you neglect to tell me about, and all." He reaches over to cup your face and frowns.”You’re so clammy, Y/n.”

You shrug. “I’ve been trapped in the bathroom for most of the day. I’ve probably thrown up all my fluids.”

“When’s the last time you drank some water?”

Good question. “Uh…”

Hoseok clicks his tongue in disapproval before grabbing the bag he brought with him. "Well, before I came over, I stopped at the store for medicine. I brought candy, popcorn, and tea, but meds come first because I know you haven’t taken any.” He gives you a look. He wasn’t wrong. “I wasn't sure what symptoms you had, so I got one that covers all kinds of food poisoning symptoms. This one is for nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, and indigestion. Do you have all of these?"

"Unfortunately.”

"Good, now open up." Hoseok insists on feeding you the medicine himself, and after a lot of whining on your part, you eventually take it, complaining about how gross it is the entire time while Hoseok just laughs. Thankfully, he lets you handle the task of drinking a glass of water yourself.

"Thank you, Hobi. You don't have to stick around anymore if you-"

"Hey, I already said I’m spending my time with you. I’m here to celebrate Halloween with you. Now keep drinking your water and stay here. I'm going to go make you some tea and soup."

"But-"

"No, buts! I'm making you something to eat, and that's that." Hoseok offers you a smile and leans down to place a small kiss on your forehead before leaving the room.

You sigh and continue to sip your water in silence. He’s being his usual selfless and considerate self, but this is the main reason you hadn’t wanted him to find out. Hoseok had a habit of babying you any way he could when you were sick. It was sweet, but also tiring.

Twenty minutes or so later, Hoseok comes back into the room with a small tray. It has a steaming bowl of soup in the middle and a cup of tea on it. You also notice a few small packs of crackers around the bowl. "I know you like saltines with your soup, so I brought some too."

"And the tea?"

"Four sugars, honey, and a splash of creamer. I even put a little extra honey, so it'll ease your throat." You smile at your boyfriend as he takes a seat on the bed next to you. Your prop yourself up against your pillows and situate the tray on your lap. Before you can pick up your spoon, Hoseok has it in his hands. He brings it up to your lips after blowing on the hot food.

"Hoseok, I can feed myself, you know."

"I know, but I just want to help you." He breaks into his bright, heart-melting smile, leaving you no room to object. You let out a groan before opening your mouth and letting him feed you.

Once you’re done eating and have your tea, which he made sure to blow on to cool it down for you, he draws you a warm bath, explaining that it'll help with your stomach cramps. “Here, let help you.” He reaches to lift your shirt, but you bat his hands away.

“I got it, Hobi.”

“Well, I can wash you up. You’re probably still feeling tired.”

“No, that’s okay, babe.” 

“I can at least stay in here to make sure you’re safe. In case you get too hot and-”

“I can do it myself!” You snap at him, pushing him out of the bathroom. As flattered as you are by how much he’s willing to help, it was starting to annoy you.

When you emerge from the bathroom half an hour later, you do have to admit that you’re feeling better. Hoseok is sitting on your bed, scrolling through his phone and he jumps up when you enter. He makes a move to leave, but you stop him.

"It's okay. You can stay." You send him a smile before making your way over to your dresser. 

"Y/n, I uh, I’m sorry that I made you so mad. I promise I only want to help you. I didn’t mean to upset you."

Once you are in a fresh pair of pajamas, you crawl into bed, tugging his hand to bring him with you. Hoseok situates himself in bed and pulls you to lie against him. 

"First of all, I'm not mad," you begin. "I know you mean well. It's just the fact that you always tend to hover over me when I’m sick and do things you don't need to do. I just have a stomach bug. I’m not paralyzed or dying. I can take off my own clothes and eat my own soup. I'm grateful to have you here to take care of me, but you're worrying too much."

Hoseok sighs and begins rubbing your arm. "I'm sorry. I care about you too much to not want to dote on you, you know. I love you."

"I love you too, and thank you for your concern. I actually feel way better than I did this morning." You glance up at him, seeing that wonderful grin on his face.

"See, I knew the bath would help! Is there anything else you need or want? Something Halloween-y, perhaps?"

You think for a few seconds before lacing your fingers through his. "Watch horror movies with me?" Knowing how stressed scary movies make him, you assume he’ll suggest something else, but to your surprise, he nods, albeit visibly reluctant.

"Anything for you,” he chirps, voice a little too high pitched. Hoseok leans down to lightly kiss the top of your head before getting out of bed. “Pick whatever you want. I’m going to make some popcorn. I think you’ve earned it since you’re feeling a little better.”

You scroll through Netflix looking for a movie as you wait for him, deciding on one of your favorites, The Conjuring. When he gets back, he’s balancing a big bowl of popcorn in one hand and a few mini Milky Ways and Twix bars in the other.

After getting situated, he pulls you into his chest again, and you can hear how fast his heart is beating. 

“Hobi, are you sure this is a good idea? You know how you get with horror stuff. We can do something else.”

“Y/n, please, I’ll be fine because I’m with you.” He does his best to reassure you as he turns the lamp on the bedside table off.

An hour into the movie and he is most certainly not doing fine. He’s already screamed four times and nearly knocked over the popcorn. At some point, he’d taken your comforter and cocooned himself into it to hide in the fabric.

The movie is more than halfway through when a particular spook has Hoseok falling off the bed in shock. You fish the remote from underneath a pillow and stop the movie, exiting out of Netflix altogether. Out of all the times he’s attempted to watch horror movies with you, this is the longest he’s lasted through a movie, so you decide to give him a break today.

“Babe, what are you doing?” He asks from the mound of fluff on the floor.

“I’m changing the movie, Hobi.”

“Yeah, but-“

“Too late, the movie is already off. I appreciate that you want to spend time doing something I want, but I have other Halloween movies I like that will be kinder to you.”

Hoseok seems to recognize the opening of Hocus Pocus, springing up from the floor as the movie starts. He climbs back onto the bed to cuddle with you again.

“You know I love you, right Y/n?” His sudden question surprises you, and you look up at him only to see him staring right back at you.

“Of course. And you know I love you.” He beams at you, kissing you tenderly and pulling away before you can get lost in his lips.

“Good, because I’ll need you to hold me when Billy comes on screen. He’s entirely too creepy for a Disney movie.”  You can’t help the laugh that bubbles out as you snuggle closer to Hoseok. This year’s Halloween is turning out not to be the worst, after all, thanks to Hoseok and his love for you that you can practically feel radiating off of him, making you feel much better.

Game Over

choi yeonjun

genre: horror, yeonjun x reader

word count: 2k

warnings!!!: THIS INCLUDES BLOOD AND GORE! there is mentions of murder, drinking, and cursing. it is also a bit suggestive. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

note: I tried writing this really quickly and it is unedited, so it may be pretty bad.

every halloween... a girl goes missing. every halloween a certain family moves. for every person celebrating halloween, there is another mourning.

“babe! please! you know how much i love halloween.” a frown adorns your face as you stare at the boring boy infront of you. you had a whole day planned in spirit of this one time of the year!

“y/n i already told you... i don’t feel comfortable celebrating halloween anymore.” yeonjun sighed as he rubbed his neck. anytime you brought up halloween he’d just get jumpy and ignore all your ideas.

you huffed before thinking, “okay... since we can’t come to an agreement... why don’t we compromise?” you were upset that he was being a debby downer on Halloween, but you assumed he had his reasoning.

he was one of the sweetest boys you’ve ever met, honestly he could do no wrong... but with that came his fear. you met him almost a whole year ago and around that time he would jump at everything... the first time you met him he was crying with some dead flowers in his hand. he had gotten better over the months that you two have been together, but there were certain moments when he would have a breakdown... and he never told you why. you only assumed that halloween was one of those days that brought back bad memories for him because these past few days he’s been extremely paranoid.

“i don’t know y/n... i really don’t feel like going out tonight.” he didn’t look at you this time, just looking down while playing with his fingers.

you walked over to him- who looked more fragile than ever, and took his hands in yours. “we don’t have to go out to celebrate halloween. how about we play some classic halloween movies- that are not scary- and carve some pumpkins.” you stated into his hesitant sparkly eyes that always managed to calm you down. you could only help you could do the same to him and as his stiff body relaxed a bit, you knew that you had.

“and... there’s no going outside right? we can just stay in the house- with the doors and windows locked.” yeonjun raised a brow, wanting to confirm before he would let his guard down.

“yes yeonjun we can stay inside and lock the doors and windows.” you smiled softly at his cute paranoia. who knew people could get this scared over halloween?

yeonjun instantly enveloped you in a hug, “thank you baby.” you could only let out a small laugh at his behavior, “of course.”

you had gotten the pumpkins and all of the supplies to carve them, while yeonjun was busy locking everything. he even made sure to close the blinds.

“okay baby can you turn on hocus pocus? i’ve already secured the pumpkins.”

after yeonjun turned on the movie, the two of you started your carving.

“babe... babe. i think i’m gonna throw up. the inside of the pumpkin feels disgusting!” yeonjun quickly took his pumpkin juice hand out of the pumpkin, looking at it in disgust.

“you’re such a baby, you’ve done worse things than emptying a pumpkin.” you chuckled as you looked in between him and the pumpkin. now wearing a smirk, you grabbed a handful of the pumpkin insides and threw it at his face.

he sat for a few seconds in disbelief before swiping the plant off of his face. he could only stare at your hunched over figure, while plotting his revenge. while you were too busy laughing he put himself to work, carving an even bigger hole before speeding through the gutting.

having seen his fast at work arms, you stopped laughing only to realize he was going to finish before you.

“oh so we’re racing now?” you grinned, unaware of his intentions, and started to get to work yourself.

your arms were getting tired and before you could tell the boy that he won, a cold orange pumpkin blocked your vision.

“yeonjun! that’s so disgusting!” you took the giant thing off of your head only to witness your boyfriend dying from his laughter. it was a major contrast to the frightened boy before. it warmed your heart, and you wanted to see more of it.

“oh so you think that’s funny huh?” his laughter only became more intense as a response. you rolled your eyes playfully before putting his pumpkin down.

before you could say or do anything else there was a crash coming from upstairs. yeonjun’s laughter instantly subsided, replacing with his trembling hands.

“i’ll go check it out.” you decided, quite spooked yourself, but you didn’t want yeonjun to have to deal with it.

“no!” his sudden shout caused you to jump and look at him in awe. “i’m sure it’s nothing... i’ll go check it out.”

he walked up the stairs slowly with his hands in a fist. time seemed to go by slow. the eerie silence didn’t calm you nerves. it had only been a few minutes, but yeonjun hadn’t said anything.

“yeonjun! is everything okay?” you hollar, preparing yourself by grabbing the knife from carving.

“yeah! sorry babe, but a few kids broke out window.” your stiff shoulders finally relaxed as you put the knife down.

“ok! we will have to get someone to fix it, but for now let’s finish carving our pumpkins.” your racing heart started to slow while waiting on your boyfriend to come back down the stairs.

“actually... i was thinking... you bought these hot couples costumes for us, so maybe we should put them to use.” he was walking down the stairs, but his suggestion had you in awe.

“what are you implying mister?” your cheeks were flushed as you wondered what had gotten into him.

“well i know you planned for us to go to eunjin’s party, so i thought why not? it should be fun because i’ll be with you.” yeonjun was already wearing his fake bloodied doctors outfit. he looked good in it just like you predicted.

“go on, put yours on.” he threw the bloodied nurses outfit at you while grinning. his aura was completely different, but you couldn’t complain... it was attractive.

you hurriedly put your costume on in front of him before excitingly grabbing the car keys.

“hurry we’re already late yeonjun!” you jumped around in excitement before yeonjun smacked your ass from behind you. your eyes widened at his sudden action. you were taken aback because he never did that.

“sorry your ass just looked too good not to slap.” yeonjun pulled you and your red face closer to him as the two of you walked out of the house.

the halloween music was blasting in your ears, the party lights only adding to your party spirit.

“go have fun babe, i’ll wait for you.” yeonjun looked around, his hooded eyes scanning everyone in the room.

“or... we could both go and get a few drinks.” you smirked at yeonjun as you grabbed his hand, leading him to the kitchen. he was smirking along with you as you found the alcohol.

you didn’t know what you were drinking, but you managed to drink a cup full. with yeonjun’s encouragement you managed to be on your fourth before he dragged you outside where everyone was dancing.

it had gotten a little hard to dance once the alcohol kicked in, but yeonjun managed to keep you afloat. eventually he leaned in, kissing you deeply. his plump lips moved against yours in a rough manner, but you managed to replicate it. He bit your lip, causing a spark within you to ignite. your mind may be hazy, but you knew what this feeling was.

yeonjun pulled away first, seeming to read your mind. “fuck this party I have something better in store for you at home.” his words excited you and you rushed with him driving.

“okay y/n put this on.” yeonjun placed the blindfold in your hand, looking at you with expectancy.

“oooooh... kinky.” your slurred words didn’t help the sentence, but you managed to put on the blindfold before he guided you up the stairs. the two of you were silent as he sat you in a chair before using a belt to tie your hands and feet. ‘this is a completely new yeonjun.’

“and... surprise!” yeonjun ripped the blindfold off of you and you were met with him sitting across from you- his mouth clothed and his hands and feet just like yours. what was going on?

it wasn’t until the same man that tied you down walked over to what you thought was yeonjun. you must be seeing double after whatever the hell you drank.

“poor y/n looks confused yeonjun. whatever shall we do?” he confirmed that the one sitting was yeonjun, but then who was he and why was he looking at you with fake sympathy.

“i kissed your sweet little girl friend yeonjun... it was nice to actually get in some of the action... now i know that we don’t need you. i can have all the fun myself. you failed your job, so i had to come in and do it for you. you’ve always been a sucker.” yeonjun- or whoever this man was- twirled the knife in his hands before walking over to you.

“now y/n... you made this too easy. you were so thirsty for me that... i almost feel bad for you. we can’t have you running your little mouth though can we?” the man- yeonjun’s twin- reached for your tongue as you screamed. in attempt to get the man away from you, you bit down hard- managed to get him to pull away.

“you bitch!” your heart was racing now. he was going to kill you. you hopped in the chair, trying desperately to get out. you wish you could remember all of those defense videos you had watched.

“oh... i’m going to enjoy your slow and painful death. your blood will decorate this house very nicely.” he glared at you with a sinister smile. you fumbled with the belt, but the actual yeonjun tackled the evil twin. you don’t know how he got out, but he was buying you time and that’s all you needed.

“leave her alone! you’re fucked up you know that!” yeonjun yelled as he punched his brother. you continued to struggle underneath your restraints as yeonjun continued to pound the sicko.

yeonjun stopped after a few minutes and walked up to you. he also terrified you. you don’t know if this was all some game to him. he failed his job? what does that mean?

“don’t worry y/n... i’m not gonna hurt you. in fact, after we call the police you can run as far away as possible.” he sighed, sadness in his voice. was this the yeonjun you knew? was it all an act?

“w-what did he mean by your failed job?” you asked as he started to unbuckle you.

“well... i’m apart of this family who kills people every year. i never wanted to be apart of it...” he choked on his words as he started to sob, “but... i didn’t know a way out until now. i plan on turning them all in thanks to you.” you felt awful. he disgusted you, absolutely disgusted you. he’s the reason so many people have died... he’s the reason you could’ve died... yet you loved him.

“i’ve never killed someone with my own hands... here’s the phone you can call the cops. make the decision you would like.” you got up quickly and grabbed the phone, dialing 911. you reported the crime as quickly as possible, knowing this was going to be a lot to explain...but at least you had yeonjun.

once you put the phone down you walked over to yeonjun, hugging him as the emotions bombarded you. it was a lot to take in.

“thank you y/n.” yeonjun sighed, hugging you tightly.

“for what?” you asked, almost pulling away until a sharp pain came from your lower back.

yeonjun pushed you off of him, “for helping me kill my brother.” the yeonjun who always looked fragile looked different now. he was emotionless, worse than his twin. you fell to the floor, trying to get your legs to work to no avail. yeonjun grabbed your hair as you teared up.

“plea-” a slit to the throat. that was how all of their victims died, but this time... the other twin was tainted with the blood of an innocent.

It's spooky season! What's your favorite scary movie??

Honestly I haven't gotten around to watching a lot of scary movies even though I don't dislike them. Does Hocus Pocus count as a "scary" movie? 🤔 I know there's other actual scary movies I just can't fucking remember any of the ones I've watched 😂

#spooky season #i like answering questions

Your prompt is: it’s halloween and you came to my door asking if I had any candy because you forgot to buy some and hey...you’re actually really cute neighbor AU

Trick or Treat

Genre: fluff, fluff and more fluff

Pairing: James Potter x Lily Evans

Word Count: 1,289

Warnings: none

Joining in @petals-to-fish Jily Fandom Very Merry 4th Not So Scary Holiday Prompt Party. I had great fun writing this even though it’s a little rushed and unedited as I’m rubbish at keeping to timescales...

Harry Potter Masterlist

Lily had always loved everything about Halloween, making an effort each year to decorate her house with cobwebs, pumpkins and skeletons, ensuring hers was the most visited house in the neighbourhood. The children knowing they would be met with a bowl full of treats and Lily herself dressed up to answer the door. There was something so fun about the whole holiday, making it easily Lily’s favourite.

After a visit from an adorable little girl trick or treating dressed as a witch, Lily settles back onto the sofa, bowl of chocolates balancing against her stomach, fluffy purple blanket thrown over her legs and her cat, Binx, curled up next to her purring softly. She munches on a couple of Malteasers, feeing content and thinking of the bright green painted face of the girl smiling up at her as she had presented her pumpkin bag (already half full of candy) proudly for Lily to see and fill further.

Just as Lily reaches for the remote to switch Hocus Pocus back on, the doorbell rings again. Throwing her head back, a small laugh bursts through her lips. She should have known better than to try and get settled right now, it was just hitting half past five and her doorbell would now be ringing non-stop until it got too late for trick or treaters. Unravelling her legs from the blanket, she shuffles her way to her front door, putting on her witches hat and picking up the cauldron of sweeties from the hallway table on her way.

Lily opens the door expecting to see a group of children, but instead finds herself looking at a man she doesn’t recognise retreating hurriedly down the little path leading to her house muttering to himself.

“Excuse me?” She calls out to him. “Are you okay?”

He turns mid-step to face her, a hand pulling through the dark, messy curls on top of his head with a sheepish look on his face. His jaw drops however, seemingly taken aback as he looks her up and down causing Lily to flush as she unashamedly checks him out too. He’s handsome for sure, tall and slim with beautiful dark skin and a playful smile tugging up the corner of his mouth at the sight of her in full costume, witches hat and all, his hazel eyes dancing with laughter. Lily feels the blush stain her cheeks darker as she leans against the doorframe folding her arms.

“Aren’t you a little old to be trick or treating?” She jokes, quirking an eyebrow and smirking at him. It’s then she notices the cream coloured paint splattering his clothes and fingers and she can see a streak peaking out from under the curls on his forehead.

“Ah, well that depends on whether we’re talking about actual age or mental age,” he quips with a teasing smile that lights up his face and Lily feels her heart quicken just a little, immediately drawn to him as his voice wraps around her like a warm summers day.

“So you are after my sweets, then?” Lily asks, narrowing her eyebrows playfully at him.

“I admit I am, but alas, not for myself,” he says seriously, hand on his chest and stepping back towards her, filling her nostrils with an odd combination of smells; wet paint and cinnamon. “It’s for the children.”

Out of all the things he could have said this one does surprise Lily and she frowns at him as he continues to grin at her, seemingly delighted with how the conversation is going.

“Well that is unexpected. Please go on...” she trails off hoping he will fill in the blank.

“James. James Potter. I’m the one moving in next door.” He holds out his hand like a gentleman from an old movie and despite herself Lily giggles and puts her hand in his allowing him to kiss the back of it.

“Ah, the mysterious new neighbour. I’m Lily Evans.”

“Enchante,” he grins wider and damn it if it isn’t the most charming smile. “I’m currently trying to get the house painted before I move in.”

“I see. That explains the paint,” she gestures to his clothes. “But not why you want my sweets.”

“I’m getting to that bit,” he says taking another step closer so he’s right in front of her face. “You see, I forgot it was Halloween.”

“You forgot?” Lily asks disbelievingly, getting more and more confused as to where this conversation is heading. “The pumpkins and skeletons weren’t a good enough reminder for you?”

“I didn’t forget like that,” he waves his hand impatiently. “but I was so busy getting paint, and masking tape and dust sheets and everything else that I need that I didn’t even think about getting Halloween sweets for the kids.”

“And now you want mine,” she summaries, smirking again.

“I don’t want all your sweets but was hoping you’d be willing to share?” He pouts, puppy dog eyes eyes wide and pleading but Lily ignores him and instead pretends to debate the options.

“Lily! Please!” He whines like a child and she finds it funny how quickly they’ve fallen into comfortable conversation and teasing, like they’ve been doing this dance forever. “I can’t go through again what I just endured with the little witch that just came by. She must have stopped here first?”

“The little cutie with the green face and purple dress?” Lily questions and James nods at her solemnly. “She was adorable, what happened that was so bad?”

“She comes all dressed up looking adorable in her little outfit and says trick or treat and of course I realise I have literally nothing in the house other than digestives to offer her,” James says dramatically, cringing as he relives the last part and Lily can’t help giggling as she pictures it all causing James to glare at her.

“Oh James, you didn’t?”

“Well of course I did! What else was I supposed to do? You should have seen her face. She was heartbroken! And now she’s probably going to come back now and egg my house or something. So to stop it happening again I thought I’d come and ask my lovey new neighbour who clearly is set up for Halloween to help out,” James says, gesticulating madly with his arms.

“Why didn’t you just not answer the door?” Lily asks, still sniggering behind her hand.

“I’m painting the front room and I have no curtains yet. I can’t exactly pretend I’m not there when I’m in plain sight,” James says exasperatedly as though Lily should have known this. Lily looks down at her full cauldron of goodies, knowing full well she has plenty to share but not really wanting to end her interaction with James yet. There’s something about him that has her hooked, his personality infectious. Obviously the fact he’s really easy on the eyes helps too.

“So, if I share my sweets. What’s in it for me?”

“Oh Evans. I thought you’d never ask,” he says grinning mischievously, eyes glinting. “How about a home cooked meal once I’m moved in and we can get to know each other better? I mean, it would be rude not to, being neighbours and all.”

“Well, I wouldn’t want to be rude,” Lily agrees seriously. “It might take a while for you to be all set up though, how about we go out for a coffee sometime this week and if that goes well we can do that home cooked meal?”

“You drive a hard bargain, but I’m in. As long as you explain why you’re dressed up as Winifred Sanderson.”

“Deal,” Lily grins, reaffirming that Halloween was definitely her favourite holiday.

I was tagged by @intrepid-inkweaver !!

1. 🎃 Pumpkin: Favourite season?

I’m not sure seasons are real anymore, tbh. Pretty irrelevant now that I live indoors XD

2. 👻 Ghost: Do you get scared easily?

No. I’m the white dad in a horror movie. 

3. 🎃 Candy Corn: What's your favourite kind of candy?

Hmmm I’m not big on candy these days. Everything is too sweet. 

4. 👻 Vampire:  What is your favourite supernatural creature?

Kraken. 

5. 🎃 Witch: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Not having to need to sleep. 

6. 👻 Trick or treat: What was your favourite Halloween costume?

Hmm well I didn’t really get to do Halloween growing up because my school was against it but I think I was a hobbit when I was 4 or so and I recall that being a lot of fun and one I got to pick myself. I am no longer short or round enough to be a hobbit these days. 

7. 🎃 Black cat: Are you superstitious?

I can’t say I’m not completely superstitious.  

8. 👻 Ouija Board: If you could change your name, what would you change it to?

I’m trans. I’m in the process of trying ti figure this out. This is really hard. 

9. 🎃 Graveyard: Do you know any good scary stories?

Not really :/ 

10. 👻 Skeleton: Have you ever broken a bone?

Nothing major. Fingers, toes, ribs etc. 

11. 🎃 Werewolf: What is your favourite urban legend?

Does mothman count? Go get those big lamps. 

12. 👻  Horror flick: Do you like scary movies? If so, which one is your favourite?

I don’t really like horror with the jump scares and a lot of people screaming/gore. Watching people panic makes me panic. But I like to “spooky” Halloween classics like Hocus Pocus or The Mummy. 

13. 🎃 Haunted house:  Would you prefer to live in the city or the country?

I’d have said city pre-pandemic. My dream used to be to live in an apartment that was a block or two away from a 24hr deli so I could get fresh warm takeout at 3am.... but now... now I’d like space, thanks. Preferable with water access so I can always escape via lake/sea/bay if needed.  

14. 👻 Zombie: Do you think that you could survive a zombie apocalypse?

Probably, yes. Would I want to though? Do I want to live in that kind of post-apocalyptic world and have to deal with that constant stress? I don’t think so. 

15. 🎃 Cauldron: What kind of potion would you make if you had the opportunity?

Yeah can I make one that makes my chronic health issues go away? 

16. 👻 Full moon: Do you prefer nighttime or daytime?

Daytime if I’m left alone. 

17. 🎃 Corn maze:  What is your favourite autumn activity?

Thinking about activities in The Time Before is somewhat painful. But uh... hiking with the leaves and the crisp air bit not so cold my joints hurt. 

18. 👻 Broomstick: What exciting places have you travelled to?

Oh god I miss travel. Not to be Cliché but NYC probably. Idk it feels like such a big center for arts and fashion/costuming in particular and also gays, so it will have a special place in my heart even though I’ve barely spent any time there. 

Also Austria was really cool. Granted I only visited a few of the major cities but the stunning architecture and the incredibly rude judgmental waiters really left an impression.  

I’m going to tag @dedraconesilet @transmanscottsummers @empirics anyone else?

Do you have any fascination with the macabre? Examples? >> I mean, sure, I guess you could say that. I think decay is neat and I’m obsessed with death rituals, stuff like that.

Do you actually think skeletons are scary? >> I mean, if I was seeing my own skeleton, that’d be fucked up. The bones are supposed to be on the inside, after all. But no, in general I don’t find skeletons scary. It’s just when you’re seeing one when you’re not at all supposed to be seeing one... now there’s the spook factor.

The Addams Family or The Munsters? Why? >> The Addams Family. I’m just attached to them; I didn’t get attached to the Munsters the same way.

Do you watch any late-night horror hosts? (Like Svengoolie or Elvira) >> I’ve never seen any of those.

Do you enjoy old horror/monster movies, or just enjoy making fun of them? >> I do enjoy some old horror movies. Not all of them, but there are definitely some gems.

What monster movie is your favorite? >> I don’t think I have a favourite monster movie, specifically.

Have you ever seen the Rocky Horror Show live? If so, was the event held at midnight? >> I’m not interested in Rocky Horror so I wouldn’t go to one of these. I wish I could have seen Repo! the Genetic Opera live, I heard that was a similar crowd-participation type experience.

Have you ever made fake blood at home? >> No.

Which TV version of Sabrina The Teenage Witch do you prefer? Why? (^^The Melissa Joan Hart one VS. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) >> I’ve never seen either.

Do you ever watch the original Bewitched TV series? Which Darrin did you like best? >> No.

Did you like the Bewitched movie with Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell? >> I did not see it.

Have you ever seen The Witches of Eastwick? Did you like it? >> I did not see it.

Is Hocus Pocus really a good movie, or a bit overrated? >> I don’t know, I still haven’t seen it...

If you've seen The Craft, who was your favorite character and why? >> I didn’t have a favourite character. I wasn’t terribly interested in the movie when I saw it. It was okay, it just didn’t leave an impression.

Do you think a remake of it would be interesting? Or do you think it worked best in the nineties? >> I don’t think the remake -- which does actually exist now, for some reason -- would be interesting to me now, although maybe it’ll be interesting for the current teenage/young-adult generation the way it was for teenagers in the nineties. Or... maybe not. The nineties certainly were a different time, and witchcraft is less mystifying nowadays thanks to the internet than it was then.

What witch-themed movie/show is your favorite, anyhow? >> I don’t think I have one.

Do you like The Nightmare Before Christmas?  >> I actually don’t. You’d think I would, but it just didn’t stick.

Do you count it as a Halloween movie and a Christmas movie? >> I really don’t know what it’s classified as, but I always assumed it was a Halloween-y movie that just happened to be centered around Christmas.

Do you like Jack or Sally better? >> ---

What other Tim Burton works do you enjoy, if any? >> I loved Edward Scissorhands, and Corpse Bride is fun, but most of his other work has been “meh” for me. They hit better when I was younger.

Are there any 'dark' or 'spooky' films you recommend? >> I’m sure I could recommend many, but I’d have to know who I was recommending them to. 

Are any horror/suspense films actually scary to you? Which ones? >> Not really. There are a lot of engaging and immersive ones, but I can’t say they frightened me. I just enjoyed them.

Are there any songs that put you in a spooky mood? >> I don’t think so.

Just for fun -- what would your personal hell look like? >> I don’t think that’s a fun thing for me to think about.

What supernatural/paranormal themed TV show is your favorite, if any? >> The X-Files.

If you've watched Supernatural, did you like Crowley? >> I did like Crowley, when I watched it.

On Supernatural, do you like the angels or demons better? >> The angels. Most of them, anyway.

Did you have to read The Crucible for school? >> I did, and I fucking hated it.

Would you like to visit Salem, Massachusetts? >> Sure.

Would you like to visit the Winchester Mystery House? >> Eh.

What about Alcatraz? >> Meh.

Do you think it would be fun to stay at the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast, even though the 'hauntings' are so obviously faked? >> Probably not.

On that matter...do you think Lizzie actually did it? >> I don’t have an opinion.

Have you ever purchased anything from an occult or New Age shop? What? >> Just random things, I guess. Books, pretty rocks, incense, stuff like that.

Do you ever watch paranormal investigation shows even just to make fun of them? >> No. Also, since this has come up again... I don’t watch things for the purpose of making fun of them. That seems like a colossal waste of my time, when I could be watching things I actually enjoy...

Did you know Samhain is NOT pronounced Sam-hayn? (It's pronounced Sow-wenn.) >> I’ve also been told it’s pronounced “shah-vin”. I think it depends on whether it’s an Irish or Scottish person pronouncing it, and what part of the country they’re from, and so on. But yes, regardless, it is definitely not “Sam-hane”.

Do you know any Pagans/Wiccans? >> Yes.

Did you ever think that Wiccans worship the devil? (We do not. There is no such thing as the devil in Wicca, the devil is a Christian concept.) >> I am aware. No, I never thought that because I never had a reason to.

Do you know any Satanists? >> I think I might. I don’t remember.

Have you ever read The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth? >> Yeah.

Are there any animals that scare you? >> Not without context. Like, of course I’d be afraid of a bear if I was under immediate threat by one. But I’m not just arbitrarily afraid of bears or anything.

Would you ever keep a tarantula as a pet? >> I’d at least like to be friends with someone else’s pet tarantula.

Do you wear mostly black? >> Yes.

What do you think are some of the scariest things that happened in reality? >> Oh, you know. Genocide and stuff.

Are there any urban legends in your area? What are they? >> Probably, but I don’t know them.

Do porcelain dolls unnerve you? >> Nope.

Does your imagination get away from you if you're alone after dark? >> Nope.

Do you find dead trees beautiful? >> I do.

Have you ever been inside of an abandoned building? >> Yep.

What mythical creature do you think you'd like for a pet? >> What is people’s obsession with keeping things as pets, christ. Can’t they just exist and I can admire them doing whatever they’re doing without having to keep them for myself?

Is the light of the full moon eerie or peaceful? >> I mean, I just think it’s pretty.

Have you ever actually believed in monsters? (Like as a kid) >> Not in the child’s sense.

Any recurring nightmares? Care to share? >> No.

What myths/legends do you find most interesting? >> Which don’t I find interesting? (Spoiler: they’re all interesting.)

Do you like the look of gothic mansions? >> Yes.

Do you own any books from Llewellyn Worldwide publishing company? >> Nope.
