when I was 13 I was on fictionpress dot net when I read a story about a pack of werewolves that wore silver ear piercings to show their rank in the pack and the more hoops you had the higher your rank was and if you were demoted they just ripped them out and I thought that was so fuckin metal that I pierced one of my own ears several times on one side using a leather needle and a bunch of dollar store studs and am still lopsided to this day
no real moral to this story but original werewolf romance fiction writer from 2009ish if you're out there I hope you're still making cool shit
just a lil christmas word vomit about twenty four hours, a month late. don’t mind me.
and definitely don’t think about how 24 hours!reader and eddie definitely get into a fight over wrapping presents during the holidays.
eddie definitely found a way to sneakily leave it to reader entirely, not expecting her to procrastinate until christmas eve, and she’s on the floor of his apartment (it’s basically their apartment at this point), frantically wrapping everything when her finger slips and suddenly she’s yelling for eddie who’s somewhere in the other room, fresh out of the shower.
it would easily turn into a screaming match between them (i mean, when doesn’t it with those two?) until finally, they both go quiet and just stare at each other, no longer blabbering about “blame” and “time management” and “where the fuck did you put steve’s gift?”
and unlike it might have been once upon a time, it doesn’t end with broken glasses or angry, hurtful words they can’t take back.
reader breaks first, a couple laughs falling from her lips as she catches her breath and finally admits, “i got a paper cut.”
and eddie, everyone’s favorite confused and endearing idiot, would just blankly ask, “excuse me?”
“i got a paper cut. that’s why i got so damn mad at you. i really don’t care about wrapping all the gifts, i know you’re absolutely shit at it.”
and then he’s laughing too, because, honestly? he thought he’d been a lot sneakier about his grand scheme, but he should know by now he’s lost the capability to lie to her after all they’ve been through.
I made some simple crude headshots for something, and since they were already done I figured I'd throw them up as small icons for people to use.
Transparent so you can add your own background, like a pride flag.
Bonus versions under the cut with little :3 faces if you want something more expressive
headcanon time: Edward is actually a terrible cook because he has never bothered to prepare food for any human. His speed and overthinking-ness (not to mention anxiety) sabotage any gourmet meal he attempts to make (because of course he'd try something extra from the get go), which results to cooking lessons from Esme and observing Bella when she prepares meals for herself and her father.
