#i cannot wait to get to her appearance in sc

[almea]

No one cares, but I cannot shut up about things I've been thinking about for Star Rail for months.

I think it's so funny that the idea of travelling through space on a train should be a little silly, but I just. Immediately bought into the idea of it being the most romantic thing ever. That loading screen of the Astral Express against a starry sky with that magical music playing really did a lot of heavy lifting lmao.

I'm so fascinated by the flashes of the future Stelle gets. Is it related to the Stellaron? Is it related to her artificial body? Is it related to the Aeon that blessed her? I just don't know and I am waiting for the day they get into it.

I really love Stelle's design. Her being the tallest female character is one of my favourite things. I assume it's because it makes things easier for cutscenes if she's not significantly shorter than Caelus (honestly they should have just made them the same height, even if it's just "the same height if we include Stelle's heels", and I could have been even happier) but god it's so cute and funny that the female characters who have so much more tall energy than her, like Kafka, Himeko and Acheron, are all shorter than her. Her hair being so fluffy and looking a little messy makes her look SO cute. I really love the art for her fourth Eidolon because her hair looks extra fluffy in it.

AND GOD HER VOICE. It's a tragedy that Stelle doesn't speak more because I love her voice so much. The fact that it's that low… I loved… Stelle getting possessed in 1.5's Trailblaze Continuance just to get to hear her voice… I know there's some speculation about whether or not the receptacle that wasn't chosen is going to be a character further down the line, and if it happens I'm going to be so sad because the people who didn't choose Stelle would probably get to hear her voice more than I do lmao.

I kind of wish we didn't get to name the Trailblazers because when Aventurine calls her "Miss Stellaron" in 2.0, for a brief second I lived in a world where the voice lines could call Stelle by her name instead of "you" or whatever other placeholder they used and it was so good. Ever since I played Three Houses, I've gone more and more in the direction of "the more voice acting there is in a game and the less you can customize the main character, the more pointless it is to let you name them."

There is nothing I love more than characters appearing in another character's splash art. Silver Wolf and Blade being in Kafka's splash art fucking took me out. There is genuinely nothing that can convince me that they're not Important to her. It's a tragedy that Sam isn't also on it too. I gasped out loud the first time I used Preservation Stelle's ultimate and saw Bronya, Seele, Serval, and Gepard in the splash art. It's SO cute, I'm going to be so sad if they don't do the same thing for all the other paths too. The Astral Express being in Destruction Stelle's splash art is a similar situation because it's where her journey started and to me it represents her bond with the rest of the crew. Baby Tingyun on Yukong's. The much more subtle case of Lynx having a picture of her with her siblings in her tent.

I just really love the platonic and familial relationships in this game. The Astral Express crew and the Stellaron Hunters both have me in a choke hold. Looking at each group on its own is already A Lot (Listen, I almost cried when I heard Himeko's voice line about how she asked Dan Heng to be the Express's guard because she felt he wouldn't have stayed if he was gonna be a freeloader), but comparing both groups and seeing how they contrast but they ultimately have their own bonds with each other... And Stelle travelled with both of them at one point.

The fact that the whole Astral Express crew has those express pass pins is such an amazing detail. I almost cried when I realized they're all matching!!!! I wish they had made a separate model for Stelle and Caelus where they don't have their pin yet and then had a scene of them being given the pin after they joined... It could have been so cute...

I read through Kafka's companion mission again the other day and oh my god, I can't believe I forgot that she plays the truth and lies game with Silver Wolf all the time. I need to go lie down on the ground over these two constantly playing a game that kind of inevitably leads to getting to know each other better.

I also love her mentioning that if she and Blade had been thrown into prison, Sam and Silver Wolf would have broken them out. Please, I'm in shambles. Yes, they would have broken them out just because they needed to, but also. I really do believe there's this deep trust they all have for each other. If I think about it, I don't know if I would say the Stellaron Hunters love each other, I certainly don't think any of them would say it except maybe Kafka in a teasing way, but I do think they all care about each other in their own way.

There is Something that really gets me about the fact that all the Stellaron Hunters, including presumably Elio, went to go pick up Silver Wolf from Punklorde. Like, Kafka and Sam both going to get Blade makes sense logistically because they needed Sam to restrain him and Kafka to calm him down, but Silver Wolf? Who Kafka specifically said wasn't chosen for being good at fieldwork? Why did they all go to get her? I don't know, it just makes me really emotional for some reason.

The Landaus have such a fun dynamic between the three of them. It's so cute how Serval and Gepard both worry about Lynx, Gepard more so than Serval, and it annoys her but she also loves them both. For most of Serval's companion mission I was just like "🥺 Gepard just doesn't want his big sister to leave." The light cone???? Of Serval and Gepard when they were kids??? Serval defending her brother because she knew he didn't do anything wrong???? Also, something about how it's a Preservation light cone, but Gepard, the Preservation character, is the one being defended. Gepard's idle animation where he's humming Serval's song????

The inherent tragedy of Jing Yuan's relationship with Yanqing because he's raising him to be strong enough to kill him one day…

Dan Heng's interactions with Bailu in his companion mission were sooooo good and I hope they expand on it more in the future. It was really sweet that Dan Heng was so concerned about Bailu and now he has a new little sister. I love that they have this bond with each other because they're the only ones who can even remotely understand the weight of the expectations everyone puts on them because of Dan Feng. The CG in that companion mission was Everything to me. Dan Heng's speculation that he inherited Dan Feng's destructive powers and Bailu inherited his healing powers is so interesting if it's true. When I read Bailu's character stories and it said they were waiting until her coming of age ceremony before giving her the title of Imbibitor Lunae, it really hit me like a truck. I'm so curious about whether years down the line, as the story on the Xianzhou continues, we'll eventually get a Bailu Inhibitor Lunae. I just think it would be so cute if Bailu and Dan Heng had units with matching titles…

I had zero thoughts about Sunday, good or bad, besides being like "excuse me?" about the shit he said at the end of 2.0, but they showed the light cone with baby Sunday and Robin in the 2.1 stream and I was just like, oh noooooo, it's so cute, he loves his little sister so much.

I'm obsessed with the "Elio is the cat" theory. Is the leader of the Stellaron Hunters being a cat absolutely ridiculous? Yes, but I love the idea of the leader of this group of space criminals being a cute black cat too much. Even if the cat (tragically) isn't Elio, I still think it's like, connected to him or meant to represent him whenever it shows up. Release more light cones so Silver Wolf and Blade also have art with the cat.

I love the text message system so much. It's such a fun way to give characters some extra characterization and make them feel more alive. The peak example of that will always be the fact that Blade's text messages are all sent by the other Stellaron Hunters. Blade not sending messages would have already been like. Yes, this lines up with his character, but the fact that not only does he not send messages, but literally everyone except Elio (and honestly if every character had four daily messages instead of three I would bet Elio would have sent one too) uses his phone to send messages gives a little extra insight into the dynamics between the Stellaron Hunters.

#Annie plays HSR #It's a giant wall of text because no one I know plays this game and I've got Thoughts and Feelings #I mean my brother also plays but he's not interested in these Thoughts lmao

Three Written Loves Chapter 5

Romoxiety and Intruloceit soulmate au where you are given a notebook to communicate with your soulmates at 16. You cannot say your name, address, place of school/work, number, etc.

Tw: Anxiety/Depression, ignoring one's own health, if I need to tag anything else let me know

Chapter is in Patton’s POV with mentioned Prinxiety

Fonts/Colors for the chapter from Google Docs: Virgil’s- Pacifico purple last dot  Roman’s- Pinyon Script red 4th dot Patton’s- Amatic SC Blue dot 3

V: You got more little hearts princey

V: Princey?

V: Oh right you’re driving. Talk to you soon

The entire ride Patton had been doodling little hearts near Roman’s more finished pieces. He tried to ignore the twin’s bickering and the writing from the purple writing. He was still very anxious to say anything to them just yet. However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by being picked up once more.

Patton yelped in surprise and quickly latched onto the twin that picked him up. He huffed at both twin’s laughter. “That’s not funny.”

“It is a little funny,” Roman teased a little as he walked them both inside, “again Remus has your stuff, aside from the notebook that is.”

“No, not yet,” Patton answered honestly.

Patton blushed a little at the teasing tone of his notebook, “yeah..”

“Do your soulmates know?”

“You’re welcome!” Roman flourished before setting Patton down on what would become his bed, “I’ll be right back! Make sure to tell your soulmates!” He yelled while leaving the room.

“You should probably tell them.”

“I will.”

“Good. I’ll set you down in bed then get you some ice and medication for your ankle. When mama gets home I’ll have her check out your ankle just in case. Good?”

“Yeah. That’s wonderful. Thank you.”

Patton sighed softly and watched the current ink, waiting for a response from Roman to appear.

Ro: I just saw! Yeah I was driving me, my brother, and my new friend home. I’m getting them an icepack at the moment

V: Ice pack?

Ro: Yeah, looks like a sprained ankle. Dunno where they got it from tho which is worrying. Going to get mom to check it out later

V: Damn. Hopefully it’ll be alright

Ro: I’m sure it will be. I just want to know more about our mystery third and when I could find out where you’re goin

V: When they’re ready they’ll talk to us and I’ll get there when I get there and I can’t tell ya that princey. You gotta guess

Ro: Dumb rules. Homophobic if you ask me

V: Pretty sure it’s the same rules for everyone

Ro: Still homophobic

V: Whatever you say. You go take care of your guest. I’m not going anywhere

Ro: Will do! Will also keep you updated!

V: You better. Ttyl princey

Their conversation ended with a small red heart. Patton smiled at the small red heart just as Roman walked in.

“Sorry for taking so long. Didn’t want to worry my soulmate anymore than I already had,” Roman explained before moving to help elevate Patton’s ankle and set the ice carefully ontop of the ankle.

“It’s okay. I completely understand,” Patton’s tone took a fond note as he held his book close before his fond smile dropped to something sadder.

“You didn’t talk to them did you?” 

“No… I never had…”

“Why?”

“Just… family,” Patton’s shoulders dropped some as his grip tightened.

Patton took a deep breath but flipped to the back. The blank page glared at him but with another deep breath he doodled a small paw print.

“Well I don’t think that should stop you now. They’re probably very worried about you.”

“If they think I exist.”

“I’m sure they do. At least attempt? Even if it’s a simple hi?”

“Can I just doodle instead?”

“Sure! Just try it. I have to go do a few things. You’ll be okay here?”

“Yeah. Thanks Ro.”

“You’re welcome! I’ll check on you soon!” Roman smiled at him before leaving him alone once more.

Pat: Hi

[alemanriq]

I just read that you didn't like how the snk manga ended up. Where about in the story did you start disliking it? Like was the main ending in 139 the biggest problem or was it the final arcs like I've heard others saying?

I am still confused myself how I feel about 139 Im just interested to see where you felt like the manga wasn't for you anymore. 😅

Disclaimer: hhhHHHhh first of all, I want to make clear that I am no writer but as a media consumer like everyone else, I am able to assimilate situations and stories, and if I see something that doesn't work from my PoV that doesn't mean I think I can do better myself..if that was how the world works, many critics would be unemployed 😅 My opinion isn't even professional anyway so anyone is free to disagree and leave their comment if they want to talk but know that I won't engage in any further conversation that takes more than a couple of mins because I'm only answering a question here and come to have a good time gjdfkg.

Now to the answer hmmmm, is not exactly just the ending but more like a progressive thing ( I assume that's what you mean with the latest arcs?).

It kind of started with the serum bowl for me actually ahahah idk if that's too behind 😂. Fandom's reaction aside, the stage Erwin and Armin were brought into was way too convenient to give Erwin the farewell he had (which doesn't mean I didn't love it btw, his interactions w Levi and hanji made me cry) and a bit too overdone to prove once more how much Eren loves his friends. From that point I was like "mmmm ok it was a risky move to bring them to the rooftop out of nowhere like a ring fight, with this new random bootlicker guy on the side but is ok it cannot get weirder than that right"

Then when the whole Marley arc appeared I gotta admit I entered a VERY long hiatus, because I was just starting to digest what was going on with historia, Eren and the grisha flashbacks, also what was going to happen with Armin since the scene in the rooftop seemed SO important and eager to pass the role to him and a bunch of characters compared him to erwin as if it was going to be relevant to the story. Also I gave up with Annie ahsjfddg.

So yeah this "other side of the story" was like starting over (which I knew was the point yes) and I wasn't ready for that, I know I was weak pls don't yell at me.

So I waited til the main cast appeared again (my friends were updating me on the story hahaha) to reunite some willpower and get myself back in track. I went back a bit before I left the story at, and swallowed all those war chapters all together. And I was kinda impressed, it was even entertaining. I thought "I guess I just needed a break, my interest wasn't 100% lost"

It felt like I was reading chapters like in uprising (in my opinion, a good balance between politics and the action everyone came for: shonen titan fights) it was going good...

Then I cannot recall in which point everything started to be a bit overwhelming (again is prob because it wasn't just a single thing), more information was coming and new characters were taking turns in the spotlight....Mikasa with the asian bloodline, Annie's daddy issues, Falco's hinted destiny, Reiner's deadpool-like sad life, Levi and his promise, Hanji's ideals and their struggle as a commander (the latter was left so so abandoned for the sake of implying that the "idea" of commander in their universe basically died with Erwin, which brings me back to being upset at the unnecessary drama pushed on Armin, he was just sad for killing people like a normal person and that's it), the motivation of the SC, Historia and her baby, the Ymir's sick love and the no-ymir's past... these are only the ones I can get from the top of my head...

All of these little unresolved/forcibly closed stories I felt were like the freebies in a big box, the things that give you the sensation that the prize is bigger but they really don't give any more weight once you open it.

I just felt I was being mislead all the time. (you can tell by memes like this that many people was mislead in one way or another, they could sense the story was going on a direction where none of these scenarios could happen, and yet they happened in the last minute) The cherry on top is that I thought Eren was going to be allowed to be a true villain lmao.

The final events were just the Coup de Grace and I wasn't expecting anything at that point, so the Avengers assembling against Thano-I mean Eren and anything that came after it, didn't rlly leave an impact on me (positive nor negative), I just went with the flow and couldn't feel anything hfgdf, no anger, no sadness, I just wanted it to end.

If I told you a story about a kid that was chasing a chicken, then I decide to spend years developing complex sub plots around them and the people they meet, as if they also will have a concrete purpose in the long run, maybe hoping to add more depth to my story...all of this to tell you in the end "Anyways the kid died but got the chicken. I did everything I did because is interesting, I told you since the beginning the kid was just trying to get it so that's what they were gonna do, is just that there was no other way, they had to do all of this to get there see. Why are you not convinced? I gave you hints that that's exactly what the kid was going to do.." You'd probably feel like me ahhahahaa.

Then I've read other people say "there's only three protagonists, no need to work harder on all the characters" "all the characters had a reason to do what they did, it says so in the story 🙄" well, again I'm no writer but afaik that doesn't make a story automatically well done or compensates any lapses...is like

It gave the impression that yams wasn't rlly planning out this outcome 100%. I know writers do changes in the middle of writing..but he took too many risks imo (is his first story too right?) Whether it was bc of his own decisions or any influence he had from others...something definitely didn't go right. Still mr Itsallama I don't mean to re-write your story and I'm sorry I rlly didn't like how it went down, I still feel grateful for all the good times though. Thanks for the ask anon, I hope this cleared your thoughts...if not, have a cookie 🍪 :D

Sharpen Your Blades - Ch.10

Summary: “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

The thinning of Aizawa’s patience was evident in the twitching of his brow. “If you stop asking questions, maybe I could finish explaining.

”With a huff and roll of his eyes, Katsuki glanced away from their coach.

“City Hall and the SC want us to give them more variety. We are a team solely made up of single skaters. Every year, we dominate the rankings for single skate while Shinketsu dominates the pairs, so this year both cities are being required to split their skaters evenly between singles and pairs with at least one pair coming from out top five.” There was a collective intake of breath, but no one commented, choosing instead to remain silent. “Unfortunately, for us, it’s a lot easier to switch from pairs to singles. With our male to female ratio, alpha/beta/omega ratio, and those of you actually experienced with pair skating, we’re at a disadvantage. So, I’ve decided to choose your partners for you.”

…..

Or where Katsuki and Izuku are forced to be partners so they can continue to compete, but the blood in the water may be thicker than anyone realized.

Pairing: Bakudeku

Rating: T

Chapter: 10/20

Previously <- Chapter 9: Refills

Chapter 11: Solo -> Next

Chapter 10: Alpha Wanted

Katsuki skidded to a stop, chest heaving as he leaned against the wall. Ever since he’d broken off his partnership with Izuku, he’d been pushing himself to the very edge of his abilities and sometimes further. When no one was around, when he was completely alone on the ice, he would sometimes go until he was forcing himself not to puke as his body heaved. Sometimes he did puke, and he would spend thirty minutes cleaning up the mess before trudging home.

He knew he wasn’t taking the end of their partnership well, but that didn’t mean he was going to stop running himself into the ground.

Lifting his head, his eyes met Izuku’s across the ice.

Izuku was huddled in the middle of the bleachers, his new partner seated at his side and the rest of the alphas on the team that were in their age group surrounding him. They chattered on and on, looking to Izuku for approval, but even when he just smiled nervously at them, they continued on as if he’d given an actual answer.

Anger seethed in Katsuki's chest. He hated it, hated seeing him surrounded by alphas all grinning and preening like a flock of ugly peacocks. Hated the uncomfortable smile that Izuku always wore nowadays. Hated glancing over to check on him and already finding Izuku’s eyes on him.

Most of all, he hated the way the other alphas had treated Izuku like he was a prize to be won as soon as they were no longer a pair anymore. Hated the way they treated him like he was suddenly fair game.

Katsuki shouldn’t have been surprised. He’d known they’d just been waiting for the right moment, waiting for him to fuck up, waiting for him to let Izuku just the barest inch out of his reach. As soon as they’d presented, Izuku had become coveted among the alphas. The rare male omega. Somehow, it made him ten times more desirable to the others on the team. As if his secondary gender erased everything they’d never liked about him.

When Katsuki had been his partner, the others hadn’t dared to make the attempt to court him. They’d rightly assumed that he’d had fully intended to court Izuku, but he’d been planning on beginning their courtship once they were at least in high school. Just his presence and scent on Izuku had marked him as off limits, and that had been enough to begin with.

Katsuki scowled, watching Izuku’s cheeks grow red and his green eyes drop, and then as he startled back away from a touch to his knee. Stubbornly, he turned and ignored the quick glance back up at him. He wasn’t Izuku’s partner, wasn’t going to be his mate, wasn’t anything to him anymore.

…..

Katsuki groaned out his frustration, dragging his hands down his face as Izuku hit the ice for the tenth time that night. Even during team practice, Izuku hadn’t been able to land a single jump. The concentration on his face was severe, but something was clearly taking up all of the space in that curly head of his. “What the fuck is going on, Deku? You haven’t flubbed this many jumps since we were fucking five. What gives?” Katsuki asked, gliding over to Izuku and jerking him back to his feet.

Izuku’s jaw worked back and forth, brow furrowed and eyes downcast. “I’ve just… got something on my mind. I don’t want to talk about it.” His tone was low and dark, and he pushed away towards the wall as he rubbed at his backside. Sliding on his guards, he stepped off the ice.

If Katsuki hadn’t been so taken aback by the warning note in Izuku’s voice, it wouldn’t have taken him so long to realize his partner was pulling off his skates. “What are you doing? We’ve still got another hour before the janitors kick us out. We’re not done yet.”

Izuku didn’t lift his head as he pulled his shower bag from his duffle, something he only ever brought when he had somewhere else to be after practice. The tops of his ears were blush red and his voice was soft and cautious when he glanced up to say, “I, uh, have to get ready…”

“For?” Katsuki prompted irately.

“A date.”

Katsuki’s heart stuttered to a stop in his chest. His alpha whined pitifully, and he just barely managed to keep the sound in. “Whatever,” he muttered instead, grabbing his phone and headphones from the wall before pushing back out to center ice. He stood there pretending to scroll through his music until he heard the double doors slam closed.

Turning back to the benches, Katsuki slipped on his guards and headed for his bag. Inside, he’d nestled the softest faux fur lined blanket that one of his student’s mothers had gifted him. ‘You young alphas never think of nesting materials for that special someone in your life,’ she’d told him as she’d pushed it into his arms. She’d been right, of course, but only because Katsuki had thought it was too early to be thinking about nesting. Nesting materials implied Katsuki wanted to share Izuku’s heat with him, and while that was certainly the case, he didn’t want to push too hard. Izuku didn’t even know that Katsuki was trying to court him yet.

Still, he’d been grateful and even considered offering the gift face to face, but now…

‘Gift to omega. Maybe… Maybe…’ Even his alpha was at a loss with the situation. Still, they both came to the same agreement. ‘Give omega gift. Cannot hurt. Alpha is only one courting omega. Give gift. Maybe make things better.’

Lifting the tissue paper covered blanket from his bag, he nestled it beneath all of Izuku’s other things and just hoped the omega would be tot out of it to notice it right away.

He sat down heavily on the bench between their bags, and stripped off his skates. Once he’d cleaned them, and given Izuku’s the same treatment, he shouldered his bag and left.

…..

“Deku?” Uraraka’s voice was sleepy and confused when she answered his call.

Pulling his phone away from his ear, he checked the time. 23:48 stared accusingly up at him, and he took a page from Katsuki’s book to quietly curse under his breath. “I’m sorry, Chako, I didn’t realize how late it was. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” Even to his own ears, his voice didn’t sound right, and he could hear when the red flag shot up for her as she started to rustle around on the other end.

She yawned. “No, no, it’s fine. I wasn’t really sleeping at all. What’s up?” she lied, all chipper brightness. After a moment, she added, “How was the date?”

He didn’t answer right away, and when he did, it sounded like a flat lie. His voice broke as he said, “It was fine.”

“Deku?”

The tears were on his cheeks in an instant, cutting hot tracks across his cold skin.

The date hadn’t been fine. Well, from an outside perspective, he was sure it appeared as if things had gone swimmingly. The alpha had been perfectly civil and attentive, asking him questions about himself and more in depth questions about the topics he was interested in. He asked all the right questions too and some funny ones that made Izuku snort. What was he looking for in an alpha? How quickly was he expecting the relationship to progress? Did he want pups one day? Did he prefer cats or dogs or ferrets? What were his goals in life? What was his favorite flavor of ice cream? What was his favorite flower? Did he expect them to share their cycles together right away? If he had pups one day, what did he want to name them?

At first, he’d enjoyed his time with the man. Enjoyed looking at him. Enjoyed listening to him. Enjoyed, for the most part, scenting him on the air. Everything had been going just fine, but with each question Izuku had answered, the sick twist of betrayal had grown in his belly. With each question he answered that made the alpha’s scent sour with either disappointment or irritation, Izuku had felt the uneasy anxious energy nestled right beside his omega squirm restlessly.

There had been a moment when he realized he had no longer been answering as honestly as before, when he was tailoring his answers to specifically please the alpha. There had been a desperation in his body that told him he needed to secure this alpha for his heat. If he didn’t, then his next heat would be the most agonizing he’d ever had. That terrified him, but also made him angry.

Then the man had said, “I’ll be honest here, if this ever progressed to the point that we had pups, I would want you to stop competing so we could focus on our family. You seem to really enjoy skating-” He didn’t just ‘enjoy’ figure skating, he loved it. It was his life blood. If that was taken from him… “-but once you had a pup, that would all change. I just know it. And you wouldn’t want to risk getting hurt again. Your hips and legs need to be strong to carry, you know.”

That had solidified his resolve to end things before they even got started. No amount of fear was worth giving up the thing he loved most.

Izuku had smiled pleasantly even as that oh so familiar black tar had filled his chest and drowned his omega. “I appreciate your honesty.” Standing, he’d held out a hand even as confusion and anger began to morph that alpha’s handsome face. Even as his instincts told him to do something to make that look go away. Even as his omega urged him to fix things before it was too late.

Despite that, relief had flooded his body. Clutching his gloves in his hand, he hadn’t been able to stop from thinking of the alpha who’d taken so much care to get the size perfect and wishing he knew who they were. Wishing they were Katsuki. Then his omega had reminded him of the nesting blanket he’d found at the bottom of his bag, and knew that the date had been the worst idea his friends could have come up with.

“So, I’ll be honest as well. This isn’t going to work out. I accepted our offer because I need an alpha to spend my next heat with. This is what my friends and doctors suggested, but I’ll never be able to give you what you want if that’s me being a stay at home omega.”

The alpha had stared at his hand. The anger smoothed away as he glanced down to the hand holding the gloves. “I think there’s something else too. You don’t have to take a roundabout way to say you have someone else in mind.” After a long moment, he’d stood and shaken Izuku’s hand. “They’re a lucky alpha, whoever they are. Thanks for the conversation. It was nice. Friends?”

On the way home, he’d closed the accounts Uraraka and the other omegas had set up for him and deleted the dating and heat aid apps they’d downloaded to his device.

He relayed the whole story to Uraraka in gruesome detail, but he wasn’t sure how much was understandable through his sobbing.

Several hiccuping sobs later, Uraraka sighed. “Take a shower, Deku. I’m going to get some things, and then I’m coming over. No arguments. See you in thirty, okay?” Her voice was gentle, soft, and Izuku caved.

Hanging up, he focused on her suggestion and thanked the world she was his best friend. He was far more thankful for her suggestion when he caught the scent of the alpha still on his close, cedar and cinnamon. Not a bad scent by any means, but he still ripped his clothes off and stuffed them at the bottom of the washing machine.

He couldn’t tell if the scent had stuck to his skin or hair, but he hated the mere thought. He scrubbed until his scalp tingled and his skin was pink. The water ran cold over his head. When he got out, he dressed in his baggiest comfort clothes. An oversized sweater that had mistakenly been left in his locker at the rink several years prior and his high school gym sweats. Both had holes along seams and fraying cuffs, but they were warm and large. When he wore them, he felt loved and safe.

Pulling the nesting blanket from his bed where he’d spread it out to air out, he huddled beneath it on the couch with his face pressed into a corner of the cushions.

Uraraka’s arrival was signaled by the turning of her spare key in the lock. Still, he didn’t move, and only knew she’d seen him when she sighed heavily. For several long minutes, she shuffled around the kitchen. Drawers were opened and closed. Glasses clacked against each other. Silverware tinkled against the counter tops. All sounds found their way to the coffee table eventually, and then the couch by Izuku’s head dipped with her weight.

“This is a really nice nesting blanket. Where did you get it?” she asked quietly, fingers curling in the few locks of hair that stuck out from beneath the edge of the blanket.

Izuku allowed his head to be lifted into her lap, and pressed forward into the soft yet firm warmth of her stomach. “Was left in my bag. Don’t know who it's from.”

Uraraka stayed quiet, pushing back the blanket to run her fingers through his hair. Eventually, she said, “It smells like Bakugou.”

He stiffened. “Don’t.”

Her hand paused. “Don’t what?”

Izuku pulled away from her, huddling against the opposite side of the couch. “Don’t say stuff like that,” he whispered tiredly and leaned his cheek against the arm of the couch, “You know how I feel about him. Don’t give me false hope like that. It’s not worth the heartache at the end of it all.”

“I don’t know how false it is.” Turning to face him completely, Izuku could see just how fierce her expression was out of the corner of his eye. “This is the second thing that’s turned up in your bag smelling like him. He’s given you three things before this, that headband, his gloves and his hat. Is it really that far out of the realm of possibility?”

“Yes, Chako, it is!” Izuku snapped, voice wobbly with tears, “Kaccahn would never want someone as useless as me. Someone who dragged us down and then got hurt. He deserved better than me. I’m just lucky he’s willing to skate with me again.”

Uraraka’s face twisted as if there were more she wanted to say. In the end, she just asked, “Isn’t he the reason the date didn’t go well?” Izuku’s eyes flickered to her, and he was crying all over again. “Oh sweetie, come here.” She opened her arms, and he crawled into them, allowing himself to be held tight.

Prologue + Chapter 1-1

Prologue

It might be a bit cliche, but let’s start with a self introduction. My name is Ham Dani, seventeen years old. Right now It is just ten days before I start high school. 

I was born in a normal household, with normal looks, and normal personalities. It’s so normal that you wonder how much of a normal girl I can be.

At least… up until the age of fourteen, that is.

What happened to my life after fourteen you ask? 

That is really, really terrible...ah, I cannot explain it all within one sentence. 

There are other backstories I need to mention first, before even explaining what happened. By chance, have you heard of web novels? On the internet, there used to be a popular ongoing series with a male protagonist who is an heir of chaebol¹, always skips class and causes trouble around town. Yet still manages to rank number one in studies, and also have a look that does not lose to a celebrity. Along with female protagonist who lives a normal life and is poor.

You might be a bit taken aback by this sudden topic I’ve mentioned, however if I were to explain my life, I cannot not mention about this very plot. Really.

Chapter 1: The Heroine? She lives next door.

2007 March 2nd was my middle school entrance ceremony. Just the day before, I could not sleep because I was filled with half worry and half excitement, so I’ve decided to read a book. I was reading until the point where my eyes started to close, and when I opened my eyes back up the daylight filled my vision. I got up slowly with a bed hair, while the book I was reading last night was placed above my head.

I got out to the kitchen and ate breakfast my mom made me. After the meal, I washed my face then brushed my teeth, and washed my hair. Until then, it was still a normal everyday morning. While I was having a peaceful morning, I became speechless as soon as I stood in front of my closet and stared at the bright white uniform that hung by the door from head to toe.

 Huh? I squinted my eyes. I rubbed my eyes clear and looked at the uniform again. Nothing changed. This time I tried banging my head against the wall and stared back at my closet. Still nothing. 

What is this? I held my uniform and sank into deep thought. The more I stared at this uniform, it reminded me of a hospital uniform from a mental ward. Bright white jacket with bright white skirt. The vest was light beige, but that did not comfort me in anyway. If I wore this uniform all buttoned up, then I would look just as white and bright as this uniform would be. 

One the bright side, this was not our school uniform. Our school uniform is just plain brown. 

After pondering about this uniform, I asked my mom.

“Mom, where is my school uniform?”

“What?”

My mom came by my room door after finishing up the dishes. I asked her again as I waved the white uniform in the air. 

“Mom, this is not our school’s uniform! Where is my uniform?”

“What are you talking about? We had that tailored a week ago. That is your school uniform!”

“Huh?”

“What?”

A moment of awkwardness passed. Then my mom slapped my back as she left the room, thinking that I was just joking around. If it was the usual, I would have shouted when she slapped my back, but my thoughts were elsewhere. I blanklessly stared at the white uniform. 

Wait, hold on. I went into my thoughts again. The uniform was glowing bright as if it was reflecting the sunlight from my room. 

Are you saying this is our school’s uniform? And I have to wear this? This extravagant uniform that is hard to digest when general people wear? 

I had a sudden feeling that it was going to be a long first day of school. I crimpled my face as I wore the uniform. However, this isn’t where my bad luck ends. This was only the beginning of my bad luck and three years forwards. . 

I stepped out of my apartment door and became startled. There was an unfamiliar girl standing right in front of the doorway. If I opened the door any harder, the girl and the door would of collided. Why in the world is she standing so close to the door. I placed my hands above my beating heart and turned my attention to her. As soon I took a look at the girl, my jaw dropped. 

She was really pretty. Really, really pretty. Having a girl this pretty so close up was for the first time in my life. 

Her skin was white and pale as if you can almost see the veins underneath. Her long black hair  is so straight as if you drew a fine line down with a ruler, softly rested down to her waist. A purplish hue glowed as sunlight reflected on her black hair. Sunlight passing through her eyes also gave a purple hue, and the places which sunlight did not reflect were jet black. 

Her plump lips glossed and her small nose stood tall. Just staring at her face looked as if she was glowing. 

For a moment I forgot the fact that I was on my way to school. When I came back to my senses, the unfamiliar girl was also staring right back at me. Ah, it was rude of me to stare at her on this first impression!

Never seen her before, I wonder if she just moved in? I thought. Anyways, a girl this pretty living next door to me, I wish we get along. She looks like she is around my age too. I hope I didn’t give her any weird first impression for staring at her.

 By the look of it, she does not seem to be displeased so far. With her clear eyes, she was just staring back at me. Should I greet first? It was that moment when I was about to pull my hand out for a handshake.

The girl smiled brightly and grabbed my hand. This… is so forward? I thought, then.

“Dani, we’re going to be late. Let’s go.”

“...?”

Even her voice was pretty… wait a minute! 

What? I was so startled I stared at her hands, holding mine. Without any hesitation, the girl dragged me towards the elevator. Wait, What’s going on! I shook her hands off and the girl stared back with her unwavering clear eyes. I asked.

“Wait, what were you doing?”

Out of the blue she calls me by my name, even though we never met before, then drags me with her. What is she doing? However, the girl became more surprised than I was. She asked.

“What do you mean? We’re going to school!”

“That is obvious, but why am I going with you?”

“What?”

After the question, the girl made an uncomfortable face then shut her mouth. She slightly furrowed her eyebrows. 

With an awkwardness in the air, I then noticed her uniform was the same as mine. Even in this dark hallway where light does not reflect well, the uniform was still so bright it would hurt your eyes. Near the chest there was even her name tag. I read her name tag in my head. It was the first time I heard this name.

Ban Yeo Ryung looked with sorrow in her eyes then slowly reached her hands out to grab mine again. Then she spoke. 

“Okay, I know what you want to say, but first let’s go to school.” 

What do you mean you know. ‘I have no idea what is going on right now’ is what I wanted to say, but because her eye said with much sincerity I couldn’t say anything. Looking at her gaze made me think as if I lost my memories, or it made me feel like as if I am the one playing bad jokes on her. 

In silence we walked alongside with some distance between us. Even after getting off the elevator, we kept walking in silence. After walking some distance away from the apartment, the air seems to loosen up a bit. I then started to look around my surroundings. 

This is a strange occurrence. In my 13 years of living in this town, I’ve never seen this kind of extravagant uniform. However, as promised, the crowd of new students were weaning this white uniform. This did not make any sense.

Without caution, male students gazed around the surroundings and suddenly walked alongside my pace. Then they stared at Ban Yeo Ryung and became stiff. I felt startled and just kept shifting my gaze side to side.

Because it was early spring, the early morning was slightly chill. The morning ray reflected on Ban Yeo Ryung’s white forehead. The lights were hanging along her round tip of her nose, and the end of her eyelashes which were slightly pointing down.

No matter how much you look at her, the fascination of her beauty did become any less. She had bit depressed looked in her face. It might be my fault. However, even her sad expression was pretty. People who are walking by us kept staring at Ban Yeo Ryung as if they are possessed. I somewhat understood that feeling. 

As I stared at Ban Yeo Ryung, she suddenly stared back. Then she took a look around her surroundings and cringed a bit. 

“Hey Dani.”

“Hmm?”

“Can we walk while we link our arms?”

She spoke as looked anxious and looked around the people she was surrounded by. She felt uncomfortable by the attention. The gaze of people who were walking alongside us. They were all directed towards Ban Yeo Ryung. 

I was hesitant, but I placed my arms over hers. Ban Yeo Ryung then made a slight sile and linked her arms with mine and started to walk forward. I felt as I became her guardian, and it was not a bad feeling.

The distance to the school were getting closer. I somewhat remember the appearance of the school building because I went there during our class arrangements. Just like any other Middle School, it was slightly run down, but did not look too bad. It was good enough to just go to class and eat school meals. Just that kind of everyday grey school building. 

It was then when I lifted my head while in my thoughts. Faraway under the blue sky, there was the school building standing tall. Huh? I furrowed my brow. I lived and grew up in this town for 13 years and I have never seen that kind of school before. The school which was 5 storeys tall looked as if there was a main building and separately an annex building. The annex building was covered with glass walls and looked as if it was a fancy department store. No way that’s a school building. However, as I walked closer to the distance, it just became more clear. The wall that surrounded the school grounds were made up clean brown bricks. Then I saw the nameplate that was at the front of the school. 

Ji Jon² Middle School.

[justacynicalromantic]

I seriously 🤦🤦🤦 at people who consider Eren some clueless hermit who lived in isolation all his life and doesn't know "where to stick it".

Do you guys have some reading comprehension disability?

Because Eren was only shown being clueless about ROMANCE and relationship part of a relationship. Which, you know, 99% of 15 year old boys are.

Plus, depression. It's a thing. Eren had a lot on his plate, as well as childhood trauma.

Not to mention, that 95% of you considered it perfectly logical, nothing out-of-character, for him to get it on with Mikasa in that 4 year span.

When Marley arc was going out and we were waiting for Eren and then for the SC to reappear, 2/3 of the fandom was eagerly waiting for confirmation that Eren and Mikasa had become a thing during the timeskip.

No one was thinking that's OOC for Eren to get a girlfriend when it was Mikasa.

But the moment pregnant Historia appears?

"no! Eren doesn't care about girls!"

"no! Eren doesn't know what sex is!"

"no! Eren is asexual!"

"no! Eren is gay!"

Guys.

Guys.

You lot are HILARIOUS.

😂🤣👌

Like, never ever have we had a plot where a 15 y.o. serious aloof boy (never mind that he is 19 already), who has always been about training and fighting and succeeding, ignoring girls, meeting that one special girl, who moves him beyond anyone else, and fall in love with her (helloooooo, Ichigo, Sasuke and basically every other male protagonist in anime). Never! Never has it been done! (I hope you recognise me being sarcastic - I cannot be sure with you people).

But what am I even going on about here? Everyone perfectly agreed on a possibility of such plot for Eren, when it was Mikasa who was the girl in question.

AO3 // FFNET

"Kiss me"

It's a whisper and a clamour. It's a plea and a command. It's everything he wanted to hear and yet Gajeel's world is turned upside down by her words.

Figures. Words have always been her power, her domain, her weapon.

Yet, she doesn't wield them to strike Gajeel down, but he's still close to collapsing on his knees in front of her. Her words are always kind but powerful enough to bring down his iron walls, the ones he had carefully crafted around his heart.

Stay away. His walls had proclaimed a long time ago in cast-iron forged with the fire of his hate and cruelty.

But with each flick of her eyelashes that revealed bright hazel eyes, a new crack appeared on his walls. By the time they were on Tenrou Island, his walls were all but non-existent, yet he still believed he had them. Gajeel needed to believe it, he had survived within these walls; a dragon without a castle is a beast without a purpose. What was the dragonslayer without his barriers but a simple man with nothing to offer but iron fists and roars to the most amazing woman in the world?

Time passed since Tenrou, and he found himself sharing a living space with Levy and Lily in the Council's Headquarters. New walls rose around his heart, taller, mightier, sturdier than before. Instead of hate and cruelty, these new barriers were built from self-hatred and insecurities. She was too good for him, and he was a bastard that didn't deserve the love she was offering him so willingly. Besides, he reasoned, it had everything to do with her angelic nature and not with him; it couldn't be that she loved him. She was someone always willing to love everything. She loved every book, every fictional character she met in the lines of ink and paper, she trusted every stranger on the street and believed the world could be a kind place where anyone would enjoy the simplest things life had to offer, like a cup of coffee shared among friends, or the smell of the early blossoms in spring.

Gajeel loved her for this; he loves her for this. She was so simple and yet so amazingly complicated at the same time. A puzzle his mind and heart were still trying to decipher after all this time, and he enjoyed every single new detail he learned about her. Like how she is not a morning person, or how her smile widens when the early stars shine in the night sky; how her eyes light with something fiercer than the breaths of the fire dragons, or how her soul rejoices when a mission is completed with no major injuries involved.

She was everything he had ever wished for in a life partner yet she was also everything he had never thought he needed. He hated himself for loving her so much and his self-hatred only grew when he was reminded of how they've met. But the simplest things like one of her smiles thrown his way or the blush that tinted her cheeks when he was a bit too close to her, made him believe that maybe he was worth it. That maybe this, whatever it was, was right. That he could spend his life by her side, no labels attached, even when he was oh so willing to go down on one knee and offer her the world, a promise forged in an iron ring. He would be content to be by her side as long as she would let him.

But now, with the war against Alvarez looming over them and the battlefield so close to their campsite, Gajeel felt true fear for the first time in his life. Not even when Metalicana left had he lost his sleep like he did this night. Nightmares were familiar to the mage who wallowed in self-hatred since the Fairy Tail emblem was tattooed on his left shoulder. But this night, he couldn't even close his eyes without seeing the image of a blue-haired fairy lying face down unmoving on a flower field covered by snow and her blood staining deeply into the white layer turning it crimson.

He had sought some comfort in looking at the horizon, making sure no enemy would ambush them as the rest of the team slept snuggled close to the small bonfire to chase away the chill of the night. But he had sensed how restless she was since the moment their journey to the North began. It was no surprise when her shuffling steps came closer to him, the snow crunched under her light feet.

What surprised him were her words. Not that it was something uncommon, yet this time, her words lacked the usual breath of kindness and fierceness laced between each letter. Instead, insecurities traced the shape of her words, faintly reminding him of the essence that strengthens his iron walls. She worried about the battle and feared she wouldn't be strong enough to deal with this enemy. Gajeel could still hear her conviction underneath her self-doubt. She wouldn't back down from the fight, even when she thought the enemy to be extraordinary; she would go all out to protect her guild, her friends, her family.

That's what terrified Gajeel the most. The image of the blue-haired fairy on the flower field covered by crimson snow came back to his mind and he shivered.

Not a chance. He wouldn't let that happen. He would protect her; they would come out victorious from this battle. Fairy Tail would prevail so the iron dragonslayer could spend his afternoons at every bookshop in Magnolia accompanying a short blue-haired fairy in search for the latest novels she craved for so much.

He doesn't really know how to convey this though. Words were always her thing, not his. So, he let his magic flow, and it forms the iron pillars that now surround her. But she isn't afraid, maybe annoyed, but not fearful, not from him, not anymore since that day he took Laxus's lightning strike on her behalf. He leans close to her, maybe too close for someone who swears to be content with just spending time with this tiny fairy, with just being friends with her. Then, he makes a promise, hidden among his weird threats of imprisonment.

Thanks to any deity above she gets it, she deciphers the hidden message as easily as she has decoded ancient tomes. Then, she smiles at him, soft lips tilting up and eyes shining impossibly bright and it's all for him. With no one else around, he takes his time to commit to memory every single detail of her ethereal features. His hands twitch, yearning to hold her, to embrace her so carefully, to get tangled in her soft blue waves and rub gentle circles on her back.

As he's willing his hands to still and his mind to lock away his fantasies, she utters two words and his world turns on its axis as if the ground had exploded under his feet.

"Kiss me," Levy's soft voice commands him. She takes a step forward. He can almost feel her warmth so close to his body.

He notices it, of course, he notices it! How her eyes flick from his eyes to his lips and linger there, longing, yearning for something that could be but requires an enormous amount of courage to reach for it.

Gajeel always prided himself of his strong walls and iron hide. But two words, two words from the fairy that could will any letter to life with a flick of her fingers, had his barriers vanishing. They didn't crumble as Gajeel had expected. No, if they had crumbled to dust it would have been devastating, he would have felt vulnerable, exposed, raw to the world to mock the simple man that hid behind these walls. Instead, her words lifted his walls, they went up in light specs willingly and beautifully until they mixed with the stars above and shone in the galaxies hidden in her hazel eyes. His iron walls had kept the entire world at arms' length, Levy included. But the tender breath infused in her words made him see, for the first time, the path that lay ahead of him, where Levy stood with an extended hand for him to take and a gentle smile on her lips. There was no destruction, no havoc, no despair, there was only peace as his barriers lifted, as the blindfold tied securely around his heart was undone and he could finally see the eyes that shone a bit brighter only when they looked at him.

There is no hesitation when he dissipates the distance between them and leans even closer to her. With their breaths mingling together, he waits for a baited second, searching her eyes for the smallest trace of hesitation.

He finds none.

His lips seal over hers in a gentle caress, while his hands find their purchase at the back of her head and the small of her back. He breathes her in and everything, for once, feels right in Gajeel's life. Everything falls in place. A second that feels like an eternity yet too short for him makes him forget their beginning, his mistakes, his hatred and cruelty, his self-loathing and insecurities, the war looming over them threatening their future. Everything feels right just by holding Levy in his arms and kissing her soft lips with such tenderness that even Gajeel doubted himself capable of.

When their lips part, he looks at her with half-lidded eyes, begging to anyone, anything, that this is real and not just another clever hoax created by his mind. Because he had dreamt about this a thousand times if not more. But never, in all those scenarios, had his mind been able to portray the utter joy that radiates from her smile in this moment. She is beautiful, so full of love, of light, of kindness and oh so willing to share it with Gajeel.

He is such a lucky bastard.

Then, he notices something else. Just a quick flick of his eyes to her lips and he sees it. The promise he's made, sealed on her lips. A promise for a future together, for a family, for happiness.

He cannot hide the smirk that tugs at his lips. She is a cunning little fairy, a renowned script mage across all Fiore. She knows the power of words. And she also knows a kiss to be stronger than words thrown to the wind. No war, no enemy, no disaster would be able to keep Gajeel from tasting his fairy's lips one more time, in a peaceful moment, in the comfort of their shared home, in the quiet of the night.

I love you, Levy.

He lacks the courage, or the ability, or maybe both, to utter the words. But by any divine being that is looking after them, Levy understands him. Words were her prowess and she had learned long ago how to read Gajeel like an open book, her most favourite book.

Shadows of the Future | Chapter 50

Rusl didn’t sleep that night. For one, his mind was crowded with his thoughts, unable to sort through them all. He repeated his conversation over with Dorian in his mind. He thought about what Dorian had told him about Kohga and the Yiga Clan. And he fretted with how much longer he would have with his children.

Not only that, but he was occupied with his daughter, comforting her when she came into his room with tears in her eyes. He couldn’t quite make out what she said as she sobbed, but he was sure she was frightened from all that had occurred over the last few days, and even the last few months. Her brother had suddenly become a large absence in her life as he was off saving Hyrule, and when he did make an appearance, it was clear that he was not okay, and Aryll couldn’t understand why.

Eventually, she fell asleep against her father, comforted by his presence, and Rusl stared at the ceiling as he absentmindedly ran his hand through her hair. After a moment, he noticed movement at the corner of his eye, and he looked over at his son as he stood in the doorway. He offered him a tired smile.

“Another nightmare?” Link asked with a frown.

Rusl moved his hand through Aryll’s hair as she slept and sighed softly. “I guess so.”

Link moved into the room and dropped onto the bed beside his father with a heavy sigh.

“You know,” Rusl said, turning his gaze to the ceiling. “If I wanted to share my bed, I’d get a dog.”

“You chose to have kids instead.”

“A dog would have been easier,” Rusl confirmed with a nod. He turned to Link. “Are there monsters under your bed, too?”

“I kill monsters.”

Rusl smiled. “Agree to disagree.”

Link met his gaze, his brows furrowed.

Rusl sighed. “Why do you always look at me like that?”

“Because I know you’re up to something.”

Rusl turned his gaze to the ceiling. “And what if I am?”

Link sat up, his gaze fierce. “I want to know.”

“You know that’s not going to happen.”

“Don’t you think after everything I’ve done, I deserve the truth?”

He glanced at his son. “I can’t tell you.”

“Why not?”

Rusl hesitated. He searched his son’s eyes, then turned his gaze back to the ceiling. “When I was nine, I was almost beaten to death. For being Hylian.” His brows furrowed. “My whole life, people treated me like I was a monster. And I believed them. I didn’t know anything about myself or who I was. I didn’t think I had anything to live for. I thought I was just meant to die.” He paused for a moment. “As I got older, I had these dreams. They were always the same kind of dreams, with a voice I couldn’t understand. Until I started to listen. And I saw my entire future. I saw you. I knew everything; that you were Hylia’s Chosen Hero. That you were destined to save the world. And for whatever reason, I was a part of that destiny. I wanted no part of that. I desperately tried to run from that.” He sighed. “And then you were born. And nothing else mattered. I didn’t care who you were destined to be. I wanted to protect you from that life. I wanted to protect you from ever feeling the way I felt. I wanted to shelter you from the hatred in the world. And most of all, I swore that I would do whatever I had to do to keep you safe, no matter the cost.” He turned his gaze back to Link; his face had softened by this point.

“Please trust me,” Rusl continued. “Stay out of this. I don’t like lying to you, but you can’t get involved.” He hesitated. “You changed my life. You gave me something to live for. I can’t lose you.”

Link’s brows furrowed again as he held his gaze on Rusl. After a moment, he fell back against the bed with a sigh and turned his gaze to the ceiling. “Okay,” he said softly. “Just promise me something.”

“Anything.”

“Don’t get yourself killed or anything.” He hesitated. “We need you, too.”

Rusl frowned and looked up at the ceiling, too. He closed his eyes after a moment and continued to run his hand through Aryll’s hair. He had to force the words out, knowing all too well it would be a broken promise. “I promise.”

*****

It seemed he had just fallen asleep when he was rudely awoken. Rusl groaned and turned over. His eyes opened slowly, and he peered angrily at the phone vibrating noisily on the nightstand. As his tired vision focused, he recognized Dorian’s name on the screen, and he quickly answered it. “Yeah?” He turned his gaze to his sleeping children as Dorian spoke.

“Are you sure this is what you want?”

Rusl hesitated for a moment. Had Dorian finally come around to letting him help? He moved his gaze to Link, studying him for a moment. He was sure Link was awake and listening, though his eyes remained close and his breathing steady. “Yes.”

“Are you going to tell him?”

“No.”

The line was quiet for a moment. “I’ll give you as much time as I can.”

Rusl turned his gaze to the floor. “I know.” He hesitated. “Where are you?”

“At the shrine.”

“I’ll be right there.” He ended the call, then moved across the room to his closet. He holstered his weapon, threw on a jacket, and turned briefly to his sleeping children one more time before leaving them alone.

Though dawn wasn’t far off, the sky was still dark, the air cool, and the city slept peacefully as he drove through the quiet streets toward the shrine. Impa and Dorian were outside when he pulled up, seemingly waiting for him, and he shoved his hands in his pockets as he approached them.

“Do you people have any sense of time?” he said to them.

“Time is merely a nuisance of the mortal,��� Impa said sourly.

“Well, sure, when you put it that way.”

“Listen to me closely, Rusl,” she said, her gaze narrowing on him. “I’m sick of the two of you bickering like fucking girls.”

“Did you drag my ass out here to ground me?”

“Silence,” she hissed. “I’m in no mood for your shit.”

Rusl frowned. He turned his gaze to Dorian. “Why did you have to tattle?”

“You’re here because I need you, Rusl,” Impa started. “Would you like me to change my mind?”

“Do you have some kind of plan?”

“Dorian will be full time with the Yiga Clan,” Impa explained. “We cannot afford to have him in the city. I need his eyes on Kohga at all times. That means I’ll need someone here in the city to be my right hand man.”

“I’m no one’s right hand man,” Rusl said.

“He’s his own right hand man,” Dorian said with a grin.

“Who needs a woman when I have Jill?” Rusl held up his right hand, wiggled his fingers, and Dorian snorted.

“I hate men,” Impa said with a heavy sigh. “You’re a child.”

“What hell’s mission are you sending me on, then?” Rusl asked.

“Nothing right now,” Impa said. “But don’t get comfortable. We have a lot on our plate as it is.” She hesitated. “I don’t know what the future has in store for Hyrule,” she said softly. “But we must be proactive. Robbie and Purah are doing everything they can to give us our best defenses, including uncovering the Divine Beasts.”

“Divine Beasts?” Rusl raised a brow.

“Ancient Sheikah technology that was used thousands of years ago,” she said. “So far, only two of the four have been uncovered. I had hoped to have them at our defense for Ganondorf. In any case, they should help in our war with the Yiga Clan. If we can destroy their base, we will give ourselves an advantage.”

“The Divine Beasts cannot be activated without the Sheikah Slate,” Dorian continued for her. “The location of it remains unknown.”

“I suppose you’ll want me to help find it?”

“In time,” Impa said. “I am waiting for further intel from Purah. She has studied the two Divine Beasts that have been found at length. She’ll be able to tell us more soon. And hopefully she will have an idea as to the location of the slate, or even the other two Divine Beasts.” She met Rusl’s gaze, her brows furrowed. “I don’t need to remind you that the Yiga Clan are hunting you,” she said. “I did not make the decision to send you out there lightly. But Dorian believes you are our best option. And given your power, I have no doubt you’ll be able to defend yourself.”

Rusl shot a glance at Dorian. Just a few hours ago, he was dead set on sending Rusl outside of the city. “Of course he does.” Rus’s gaze narrowed on him. “He’s just begging for the day Kohga gets his hands on me.”

Dorian moved his gaze to the ground.

Rusl sighed. “So, I have permission to do what I want, then?”

Impa’s gaze narrowed on him. “Please be reasonable,” she said. “You of all people know the position Hylians are in. Do not forget that your actions may come with consequences. And the Yiga will stop at nothing to get their hands on you.”

“Got it,” Rusl said. “Be smart and don’t give the humans reason to hate us even more.” He shrugged. “Because I’m not fighting to keep their damn asses alive.”

Impa smiled. “Welcome back, Rusl.”

Rusl winked at her. Impa waved a hand at them, dismissing them, and she made her way back inside the shrine. Dorian remained outside with Rusl and silence hung between them for a moment.

“I guess I wore you down?” Rusl said.

“I thought it would be smarter to give you permission and know where you are than to have you take off behind my back and put yourself in a dangerous situation.”

Rusl smiled. “When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow night.”

Rusl nodded. “Guess this is where we part ways, then.”

Dorian met his gaze. “Please -”

“Yeah, yeah. Stay alive. I got this. I don’t need you to babysit me anymore. Besides.” He hesitated. “You need to stay alive, too.”

Dorian’s gaze softened. “I will.”

“Okay,” Rusl said with a nod. “Good.”

“Are we okay?”

Rusl smiled. “Yeah. We’re good.” He shrugged. “Because I will kill you myself if we’re not.”

“As if you stand a chance against me,” Dorian said.

“Big talk,” Rusl started. “I admit, you’ve got the tough guy thing going for ya, but that’s just to cover up the fact that for the first time in your life, I’m stronger than you are.”

“You think so,” Dorian muttered.

“Don’t believe it?” He grinned. “A wager, then? Whoever kills Kohga.”

“You underestimate his power.”

Rusl’s grin widened. “You underestimate me.”

Dorian frowned. “I know what you’re capable of,” he said. “That’s what scares me.”

“I promised you I’d stay alive, didn’t I?”

But Dorian seemed unconvinced. He pulled his gaze away.

Rusl’s brows furrowed. “And you promised, too.”

“Yes,” Dorian said softly. “But, just in case -”

“No,” Rusl said fiercely. “There’s no just in case. We’re getting out of this alive. Me and you. Got it?”

Dorian met his gaze. He forced a smile. He tried to remind himself that they had always gotten out alive. Still, he was terrified. “Yeah.”

Rusl pulled Dorian toward him and wrapped his arms around him. He felt Dorian hug him back, and he closed his eyes, sighing lightly. After a moment, he pulled away and moved back to his car. “See ya later, brother.”

Werewolf AU: 11. Dreams and new friends II

*************

Hyun was enjoying driving the bike, this gave him more freedom to go wherever he wanted, moving around the city and its surroundings was easier in this way.

This way he knew more about the place where he had to be for a while, his daily routine continued as usual: physical training, studies, walks, and now trips with his bike.

Hyun was trying not to call so much attention in this city and that's why he traveled on the adjoining roads, without entering the center of the city.

In one of these trips he found a pamphlet at the gas station, which said that a small theater group presented their performance in the theater of the nearby city. Hyun was very curious and that is why he decided to go to see the show.

He traveled to the other city, which was not far, only 20 kilometers nothing more, and with his bike this was a piece of cake, he got there in a short time.

The theater was small, it looked more like a studio with a stage and seats for the spectators, but Hyun was a little nervous and anxious to see the show.

People filled the room little by little, the lights dimmed, Hyun could hear the music and the actors preparing on stage whispering among themselves.

At last everything was ready and the show started …

The actors from the stage interpreted a love story, singing and dancing.

Hyun was amazed, his heart was beating in unison with the music.

When the show ended, Hyun stayed sat down, thinking about all the pepelin of feelings that were in his heart, about the thoughts that were in his head.

"Hi" he heard a male voice "Did you like our show?"

"Yes, a lot!!" Hyun answered a man who was in the aisle between the seats.

"Ha ha, thank you, it's very gratifying to know that someone enjoys watching our work."

"I do not know much about theater, but I really liked what I've seen and what I've felt."

"Why don’t you come and meet the members of our theater, you can talk to us about the show and the theater, if you want?"

"Really? I'll be happy, thank you."

After meeting the actors and spending almost two hours talking with them, Hyun had to say goodbye and go home, Alister was going to kill him for being out of town for so long.

Hyun was thinking about the conversation with the group of actors while returning home.

"If you're interested, you can come to our rehearsals, so you can see how we work." he remembered the words of James, the man who invited him.

Without noticing Hyun entered the road that passed through the city, it was too late to change that, he sighed and continued.

He stood in front of a pedestrian crossing waiting to change the color of the traffic light, and his heart jumped in his chest, it was her, it was Melamory passing in front of him through the pedestrian crossing with two girls.

She was smiling, talking to the girls, one of those girls was pointing at him and talking.

"What the hell ?!" Hyun felt uncomfortable, but when his gaze met hers, he stopped breathing for a moment.

"Damn, why did I have to find you here?! Shit, when will change this damn traffic light !!"

When the traffic light change, he accelerated his bike, his heart was still beating strongly.

"What happen to me? Will it be that I lose control again? That's not good, damn, I have to train more, Alister was right, it's not as easy as it seems."

When he arrived at the cabin, Alister was on the porch with the face that said that Hyun was going to receive a "warm" welcoming.

"Can you explain where you were? Why is your cell phone turned off? Do you want to die?"

"Alister I can explain !! I ... I was a little busy, I mean, I didn't have coverage on the mobile phone, I needed to think a bit."

"Don't lie to me, you were in the city today, and where did you go then?"

"Damn..Alister, do you following me?"

"And that surprises to you? I am in charge of you, I have to protect you and that is why I have to know where you are at all times, but you make it very difficult for me to do my work, Hyun."

"Sorry...Alister...I am.."

"You don't have to ask me for forgiveness, you have to understand, there are things, which are dangerous and you have to be careful, I have promised to your father that you would be safe with me, so don't make me look incompetent."

Alister was right, and Hyun knew that, he was very irresponsible and careless these last days.

"Enter the house, we'll talk inside." Alister went inside the cabin.

Hyun put the bike inside barn and climbed the porch stairs, stayed a moment there looking at the landscape he sighed and then entered the cabin. Alister’s lecture was not finished yet.

But Alister seemed more calm and serene.

"How have you been in the theater?"

"Actually, I was surprised by the show, the songs and dances, it was wonderful, Alister, I was enjoying, for the first time in my life, I was truly enjoying watching the show."

Hyun was speaking with bright eyes, his face had an expression of happiness and excitement, it seemed that he was watching again the stage of this small theater.

"So, you like the theater?"

"I think so, Alister ... hmm ... can I go there again? They invited me to see their rehearsals, and I'd like to go ... I promise I'll be very careful and I'll have my phone with me all the time ... " Hyun was looking at Alister with the plea in his eyes.

"Hyun, I'm not forbidding to you, but you have to be responsible with everything you do. But since when are you interested in acting and dramatic art? "

"Well, recently, but it's really interesting and I want to know more about acting, and theater shows."

"Can I know why?"

"I ... I don't  know how to explain it, but it is something that excites me, it gives me sensations that I never had, well, the trips with my bike give me similar sensations.

I want to prove myself, I think I can do things well, but I want to know if I can really do it, or if it's just an impossible dream. "

"Hmm, you surprise me, Hyun, I'm glad to see that you've grown up, and you see and take things more seriously.

I don't  have anything against you going to rehearsals in that theater, in fact I'm glad that the theater is in another city, but promise me to be in reach for any case that may arise. "

"I promise you Alister, I swear to you that I will always be within your reach for whatever, thank you." Hyun's face showed all the sensations he felt.

"But there go several conditions with it: don't  skip physical and mental training, study properly, don't  do crazy things with the bike, and finally, but no less important, follow all my orders." Alister was looking at Hyun with a very serious face.

"You can trust me Alister, I will do everything what I have to do, and I will be very careful, I will not disappoint you."

"Then the deal's done." Alister extended his hand.

Hyun extended his hand too and they secured their deal with a handshake.

Hyun went to his room, he needed a shower, after that he lay down in bed, many thoughts were in his head, he was remembering the words of his older brother ...

"Don't think what you are handsome, you are one of these people who have to work hard to get something in their lives, and you are mediocre in your studies, your appearance is vulgar, if you don't work hard studying, you will get nothing, I think our father expects too much from you ..  

You are a failure, from the beginning you were a failure .. "

He closed his eyes feeling the tears stinging his eyes, it was very painful to remember those words.

Why did his brother hate him? Hyun didn't  understand, and he was very afraid to think about it. What if his brother was right and he was just a failure?

With these thoughts he fell asleep ...

Wind brought many different smells, running with freedom through a green field covered with wildflowers, feelings of joy overflowed, Hyun felt that he was very happy ... but ... where was he?

What was this place?

He looked around, everything was unknown, what's going on?

Suddenly, in the distance, he saw a silhouette, he tried to approach it, with more than he was approaching, the silhouette moved farther and farther away.

He stopped running and was just watching, the panic began to take over, little by little ..

"What are you doing here?!?! You cannot be here!! Get out of here!!!" a loud angry voice burst into his head.

Hyun woke up covered in cold sweat ...

"What the hell was that? A nightmare? Damn, it looked so real, I need fresh air ..." His breathing quieted and he went to the bathroom to wash his face.

He came out of the cabin and breathed deeply.

"What's wrong, Hyun?" he heard to Alister's question.

"Don't  worry, nothing's going on, I'm going for a walk in the woods, I need to clear my mind."

"Okay see you later."

He entered the barn took off his clothes there and transformed, then came out after a hole that he made earlier, removing a couple of boards from the wall of the back of barn.

He was running through the woods trying to forget the strange dream and relax a little, too many thoughts were in his head.

Then he stopped, because he noticed in the air a so well known floral smell.

Yes, she was there nearby, he changed the direction and started following the trail of her. Hyun found her in a glade, sitting next to a large stone, she was there with her eyes closed.

"You are here, damn, why when I'm thinking about you, you appear out of nowhere ..." Hyun, now  Zen, sighed as he looked at her, he didn't want to accept that he had missed her.

"Hello, Zen, did you miss me?"

“Hell, no!”

He lay down beside her, but she came closer and put his head in her lap and began to caress his head between his ears.

"Damn, what are you doing? God ... yes ... I admit, I missed you .. are you happy now? ..." he was enjoying the caresses of this little hand of hers.

"You know, I do not know why, but you always show up when I need you.

Are you a magical wolf? Can you read my mind? ha ha ha I'm kidding. "

"What? Why was she says this? She needed me?" He looked into her eyes, she seemed sad.

She kept talking about the girls and .. guys ..

Zen was surprised ..

"Some asshole in your school told you something!? He called you ugly!? Who was this jerk!?"

Zen felt like going to her school and fixing this issue with whoever the imbecile was.

"Do you think that someday I'll find someone I like and who would think what I'm beautiful?"

"Of course you will!!!  ... of course ... that ... yes ... you don't imagine how cute you are, how beautiful you are .."

At this moment Zen understood that everything he had thought at that moment, was the truth, for him she was the most beautiful out of everyone. His heart was accelerated by the feeling of tenderness he experienced at that moment.

"I'll believe you, but it's still too early to think about that, I still have more important things to do, my exams are coming up, and I have to think about my future too, gosh ... choose university, and my profession.

It's a bit difficult, you know. I believe that you have to choose what you really like to do, enjoy the work  you do, and be proud of what you are doing. But you need courage to make the right choice ... I feel sleepy ... why ... "

Suddenly she stopped talking and fell on top of him, she seemed asleep.

"What happened? Melamory?" he attempt to awaken her, but nothing worked, she was still asleep.

The panic began to invade his body and mind.

"Wake up, please, wake up!"

Zen knew he had to do something, he had to tell someone, but who, he was in his wolf form.

"I don't have any more options, I'll go to Melamory's house and whatever happens has to happen."

Just thinking about Liz Redgrave gave him goosebumps, he was afraid, and who wouldn't  have them had they known who she was. He ran from the glade to the direction of the Redgrave house, Liz was on the porch.

He was scared to hear her voice in his head, but still more scared that her eyes that were like two burning fires, he could feel the strength of this woman.

When they were next to Melamory, Liz drove him to his home, he couldn't say no, at that moment he couldn't say anything, absolutely nothing.

Hyun ran home like a scared puppy.

He entered running inside the cabin, Alister was very surprised.

"What the hell? !! Hyun! What is happening?!! Control yourself!"

Hyun was shaking, in that state he couldn’t return to his human form. Alister approached him, put his hand on top of his head.

"Hyun, calm down, breathe, breathe deeply, repeat with me, inhale, exhale, calm down, everything is fine, nothing is happening."

It had been almost an hour since Hyun arrived home in a state of shock, after calming down he could change to his human form.

"Now that you are calmer, can you tell me what happened? You scared me to death."

Alister put a cup of tea in front of Hyun.

"I'm fine, I don't  know what happened, just that uncontrollable fear took over me, I think that was Melamory's mother, she ... I don't  know ..."

"Mother of Melamory, you mean Liz Redgrave, but why?"

"I was with Melamory, and I don't  know what happened, but she became unconscious or just fell asleep, I don't  know, I couldn't wake her up ..."

"Ok, Ok, don't get nervous, calm down ..."

"And then I had to go, get help, and I found her mother and then ... then I don't  remember very well what happened ..."

"Don't  worry, go to rest now, tomorrow we'll talk, ok?"

"I don't know if I can sleep, Alister."

"Don't think about anything, just close your eyes and rest."

"I will try .."

Hyun went to his room, and Alister sat in the kitchen thinking about what was going on.

Then he went to see how the boy was, he was sleeping on his bed, the sleeping pill was working.

At this moment Alister heard a knock on the front door.

He knew who was behind the door ..

"Good evening, Alister .."

"Good evening, Mr. Redgrave .."

"Oh no, call me Teo, so I feel more comfortable."

This man was tall, slender, his hair was light red, and his eyes were green.

Teo extended his hand and Alister gave him a handshake.

"Nice to meet you Alister" Teo's voice was calm.

"Nice to meet you too, Teo." in Alister's head were popping up the questions.

"I came here to ask how the boy is, and apologize."

"Hyun is sleeping right now, but before he was pretty bad."

"I'm so sorry, really, sometimes Liz is uncontrollable, but I assure you that is was not her intention, only that she was very nervous and upset."

They were sitting in the kitchen, Alister put a tea cup in front of Teo.

"Thank you, Alister."

"He couldn't explain what happened either, but he was very scared."

"Yes, I understand, but don't  worry, nothing happened, Hyun is a good boy, as I told you before, it's Liz's fault, so I apologize again.

I can't tell you what happened, it's a family affair, but I assure you that this has nothing to do with Hyun or anyone else."

"Yes, I understand, family matters are important, I too have often to deal with them."

"Even though I was surprised by your presence here, I can understand that you and the boy have your reasons to be here. If you need help with something, you just have to ask, now we are neighbors after all." Teo was smiling.

Snow day Prompt: Bittersweet meeting *p1*

“Looks like it'll be a big storm. Don't think the others are coming today.." The seventeen year old stated as he looked at the start of snowfall.

Part of him wanted to leave as well but his pride as club leader president wouldn't allow him, you never know who might need some assistance or help in this school, which is why he created the 'Crystal gems'.

From student counseling to school events to setting parlays between students, the Crystal gems goal is to make every Diamond high student as smooth as possible. Which is why they, for the most part, butt heads with student council every so often.

The SC feels that the CG overstep their boundaries at times. Though they cannot deny the good they have done. Even if their methods come off as questionable. It's less animosity and more of a rivalry between the two on whose better for the school. Still they get some funding from the treasury cause they are an official club, that get results.

“Universe..Shouldn't you be heading out?”  a gruff voice called out to him. He turned to see  three girls standing in the hall, looking in.He gave them a small smile before taking a seat on the club rooms sofa.

“Awe...You're worry about me Jasp, That's sweet of you cuz.”

The girl in question scoffed lightly as she hid her small smile under her orange scarf. Tall and muscular but also very feminine, with wild white hair, gold contacts and faded brown skin with white  stripes of vitiligo; which only made her more exotic.Her name’s Jasper, vice president of the student council and his younger cousin.

Behind her stood two others. A slender woman of average height and a swimmers build. Her ocean colored hair and dark sand colored skin, with striking eyes as blue as her namesake Lapis lazuli. She was the secretary of the  student council and scuba team Captain.

The last part of this trio was small and shapely, just braking five feet, five-three with her gravity defying, greenish-blonde hair, a natural light tan, her infamous goggles over some of the brightest green eyes you'd ever seen. The student council treasurer and fire cracker, Peridot.

all three were dress in the standard academy  uniform( White blazer, yellow blouse, pink tie and blue skirt) under their wool, leather  and down coats, respectively.

“Joking aside, she's right Steven..We're supposed to be getting a few feet through the night. It's best if you head home now, before it gets worst...We’d wait for you, if you want.”  The bluenette suggested with a small smile.

“Tempting, but I still have some work to finish, beside you never know who might need some advice.”  Lapis’s smiled faltered a bit at his refusal.

“Told you, he'd say no. Him and Boss are both the same.” Peridot sighed exasperatedly

“So, the President still here as well? That works in my favor, there something i wanted to discuss with her.”

The three girls looked as Steven to rub his chin and a small smirk appeared on his lips. While Peridot grinned, almost cackled; Jasper sent Lapis a apologetically knowing glance, who in responded in a slight wave. Jasper cleared her throat before walking up to Steven,her left hand open and free, her right held the keys to her car.

“Your keys, give’em here Steven.”

Steven would have argued a bit, but the fact that she used her ‘family’ tone and gave him the look she always did when she was worried about other, left him no resistance. He dug into the back of his slacks and produced a key to his motorcycle with a small pink lion plush on one of the chains.  The two exchanged keys, before Jasper headed to the locker in the far left and grabbed three helmets and some goggles from it. She passed the green one to Peridot, a blue to Lapis and kept a large orange one and the goggles for herself.

“Don’t stay too late Steven…”

“And you don’t go too fast on lion…”  He turned towards the other two “Make sure she don’t break 25, just because it’s not that bad yet and I had the tires redone for the season, dosen't mean your perfectly safe.”

Lapis and Peridot gave their word, despite Jasper protest of being a responsible driver. A protest that ended shortly after Steven admitted to trusting her with his ride, making her feel a bit smug.

“Alright guys, we should head home before we all have to load up in Jasper tuna can of a car.”  

Jasper growled at Peridot’s comment before giving her cousin a quick one armed hug, Not to be left out; Peridot gave the young man a quick friendly hug causing the tallest girl to roll her eyes and Steven to chuckle.  He blushed when he heard Peri whispered something into his stomach and the sly look on her face didn’t help. He shook his head as she broke the hug and basically skipped out of the room once again joking about Jasper car when she was a good ways away, causing Jasper to chase after her. Lapis  and Steven looked as the two took off, when they heard Peri yelled.

“MAKE SURE TO TAKE THE PRESIDENT HOME AS WELL, GOOO~OOD LUU~UUUCK!”

“I better go before she kills Peri.”

“Yeah,that’s a good idea. Get home safe, Lappie.”  Red face and head down, Lapis delivered a weak trembling punch to the boys stomach.

“You rejected me already, so save that charm for her...I’m rooting for you”

With a small kiss upon his cheek and a wipe of a tear, Lapis ran to catch up with Jasper and Peri. Steven shook his head with a sigh as he turned around and laid on the couch.  He watched as the snow lightly fell, with a peaceful look, dozing off as he did.

It was a melodic sound. A familiar one as well, he’d recognize it anywhere on earth. A simple feminine humming from his left. He turned towards it and saw a indian-american woman of his age sitting on the loveseat. Pad and pen in hand and headphones over her head; humming to a song on her mp4.

That natural walnut skin, shiny black eyes; long  curly brown hair that flowed like a waterfall that cute slightly pointed nose and those small yet full lips. She was a bit taller than lapis, curvier than Peridot; and strong...not Jasper strong, but a fencer and athletic build.  She sat, one leg over the other, in an alternative school outfit (pink blazer, yellow skirt,blue shirt, and pink tie). The Student President of Diamond Academy, tennis and fencer all star; Connie Maheswaran.

“That uniform fits you very well.”

“Why, thank you” Steven shocked and red face allowed Connie arched an eyebrow and smirk at CG leader. Steven sat up with a stretch and a crack of the neck.

“Time?”

“Only fifteen to five.”

“So..30 minutes, see you made yourself comfortable; Ms.President.”

“Was waiting for my best friend to wake.” Connie pulled her head phones down to her shoulder as she watch him get up and walk behind her and gave her a small hug, which she returned  by squeezing his left bicep.

“Tea?”

“ Green, please.”

Giving her a smile the seventeen year old released his hold, a bit reluctantly, before going to the mini fridge getting two bottle of spring water, four  tea bags from a nearby locker; and turning on the electric tea kettle that Pearl, one of the club members; brought for the room.

“So really what brings you to the room? And how long have  you been here?”

“No reason. Just making rounds saw you here in this nice warm room, decided to come in for a bit. I’ve only been here for about 10 minutes. Is that ok?”

“All are welcomed, but you get special privileges; like this tea.” Steven pointed to  the kettle with a smirk. Connie place three fingers on her blouse and gasp in exaggerated fashion.

“Talk about the V.I.P treatment.” She sent him a half smirk. “You wouldn't be trying to get something from me, Right Mr, Universe.”

he let use a low chuckle as he handed her a mug, and sat back on the couch. “Now whatever gave you that idea?”

“That chuckle for one, and the fact that you left a list of funds proposals on the table.”

“I swear they are all needed.” The pace of that statement caused the president to arched an eyebrow and pursed her lips.

“Uh-huh and what pray tell, does these items have to do with your club activities?”

“As you know, our club was main goal to ensure that our fellow students have a pleasant  school life...Which we have done very well.”

“Methods aside..Sure.”

“Negotiations doesn't always work with words alone..sometimes games need to be played, parlays need to be made-”

“Classrooms need to be close off, dances need to be unofficially hosted; disguises need to be worn.”

“We always brought the costumes back in pristine condition” Connie stone face made him sigh. “ok, working condition.”

“and the fighting?”

“Oh, like you never used your skills outside of an match.”

Connie shrugged, a small toothy grin on her face. “The S.C does double as a disciplinary committee.. You guys don't.”

“Fair enough,  but you can't argue that we have gotten results-”

“Steven,I'm not going to deny your proposal for these items... Though, I don't  know why you don't talk to the headmaster themselves..you are related after all.”

“No way. Last Thing I need is people thinking I am privileged.

“....Just choose some soon, ok?”

the spontaneity of the statement and tiredness of her voice aroused suspicion in him. He scooted over and patted the cushion  next to him. She took the lifeline quickly as she sat beside him, leaned on his shoulder and grasped his hand, he did nothing but intertwined  his fingers with hers.

“You doing ok, President?”

“Just tired of talking shop, is all. Been planning the winter formal and been dealing with disputes between clubs.”

“You could send some of those disputes over here.”

“and have Jasper be on my case..no thanks, I choose peace... but the dance we could use a little ---.” Connie growled mid sentence, facepalming as she did.“No.. No more talk of S.C. work.”

Steven looked on with a smirk at her antics. “Sorry..So how has things been with you, personally? Still dating that Jeff guy?”

“Wow...weeks since we really spoke and that the first thing you ask, wait... how did you know I was dating...ANYONE?”

“He did come to us for advice...Though I was sick for that week. Garnet took control of that one…”

“and…”

Steven looked at her and rubbed the back of his head. “ On my day back, I caught you two giggling and such afterschool..You wasn't were we usually meet up for our ride home. I saw you two and was quick to figure what was going on.”

“Oh… Steven, I'm so sorry I-”

“Hey, No problem you don't have to tell me everything..I mean he's your boyfriend… you have, nothing to be apologetic about. Heard he's a good guy…” Steven glared and his voice, chilling “He IS a good guy..right?”

“I guess? We were only together for a month before I broke it off.”

“Ooo..May I ask why?”

Connie shrugged with a sigh. “Wasn't actually  attracted to him, but I figure I'd give the guy a chance. He has good ambition, wanting to go into film and such a nice guy but...just no real spark between us.”

Steven nodded. “It's like that sometimes”

“True...I'm mad at you though.” Connie playful pokes called the bigger teen to laugh. “Six weeks and no hang out, no rides on lion; no games night” What started off as jovial and teasing, ended serious and cool. Connie frown was pronounced and her eyes sharp. “and why? cause some guy that didn't even last a whole month…”

Steven glared back just as hard. “You didn't  exactly try to talk to me too much either.”

Connie growled slightly at this before sighing..this was not what she wanted. “You're right..I wanted to talked to you, but something happened…other than jeff”

“Oh..and what was that?”

“You rejecting Lapis…”

This Thanksgiving, Thank God You’re American: The Tale of Asser Levy, New Amsterdam Jew, 1654

Sholom Aleichem, Stranger! My name is Asser, Asser Levy, of—so many places! First Spain, then Holland; Brazil after, and now, America. And you know, something about you made me take you for a Jew. Keep your voice down; Governor Pieter Stuyvesant’s spies are everywhere—not unlike the Inquisition, which I, and belike yourself, escaped. Never mind: come inside—the winds blow coldly across Mannahatta Bay at this time of year, and my missus will prepare a cup of hot tea to warm your bones—(shouts) Gertruida, my dear! Tea, for our guest!

How did I know that you are Jewish? I will tell you this: my old father, God rest his soul, would tell me from an early age that we Jews appear—different from other folk. Not that I wish any harm to the gentiles, regardless of what they may think of me. And, to speak truth, my gentile neighbors and I have worked together to build this little piece of Holland, here in the New World. I consider most of them to be friends. Ha! (laughs bitterly) Even those who denigrate our kind for being usurers and blasphemers of their Saviour’s Name, are first at my door when I butcher a cow or goat, and my dear wife, Gertruida, cooks her famous stew. The delicious smell permeates the neighborhood!

There are, indeed, dangers: plague, Indians, and even nature, which plots against us, especially in the winter. I cannot remember such a cold, or so much snow, in Old Holland, let alone in Spain. We huddle together beneath bearskin blankets and wait for spring to arrive.

How is life here? The Dutch people are fair enough: some better, some worse than others. I have found that most Jew-hatred stems from ignorance, and fight it by being, simply, the best human being I can be. It seems to work—that, as well as there simply not being very many of us here. That fool (whispering), Governor Stuyvesant, only grudgingly accepted our twenty-four Jews to enter his colony. It’s not his—it’s the property of the Dutch West Indian Company! After the French captain tossed us off the ship like trash, after the riskiest voyage of our lives, we huddled on the dock like water rats. Imagine: first, escaping Brazil when the Portuguese Navy—with those devil-priests of the Inquisition undoubtedly on board—suddenly appeared in Pernambuco Bay.

We narrowly escaped, on a French ship, the Sint Catrina, whose thieving captain, one Jaques de la Mothe, thought we were rich—are not all Jews rich? He was disappointed in our poverty, and we were disappointed in his seamanship—my little boy Solomon could have escaped the pirates that attacked us, but de la Mothe panicked and ran up a white flag. We losteverything! Still, I thank God that we are all alive and well, except Isaac Carmiel, who was so fearful of the pirates, that he leapt overboard and was eaten by sharks. No great loss: he was a drunkard and cheated at dice;he defamed the Name of God.

As for Stuyvesant—pah! (spits on the ground) I have met Jew-haters before, but he is paramount. He first refused to let us Jews into the colony—does he think that Europeans are flocking to this icy, godforsaken place? He wrote to the Board of Directors of the West Indian Company—and so did we. Luckily, the Company ordered him to allow us entrance—there are a number of Jews on the Board, and still more own shares in the Company. Ha! Still, Stuyvesant has spurned our every petition for equality—he refuses to let us build our own houses, construct a synagogue, open various shops—I am a skilled butcher; my friend Jacob Barsimson is a baker—or even join the town guard, despite the ongoing danger of Indian attack.

The first time that Jacob and I presented his Governorship with a petition, Peg-leg Peter presented his most frightening mien—he is a tall man, of muscular build—well, he has been a soldier for most of his life. He roared at us, shook his fists, and whacked his silver-headed walking-stick on his desk—so hard, we were surprised it did not break. Of course, he knew nothing about what he was speaking—stuff and nonsense about how we were all on welfare. We waited for him to take a breath, and then explained, politely, that, as former Spanish subjects and current Dutch burgher-citizens, we are entitled to the same civil rights as any other Dutchman. Never mind: another letter to the Board, another petition to the Court—it all builds our position here in New Amsterdam, little by little. Not to be disloyal, but (whispering) my friend Chaim Henriques saw a small sloop with the British Union Jack scouting our coast, just t’other day—we suspect that the English may be planning to take over our little colony, and soon.

Must you leave so soon, Stranger? Ah, you are headed north, to Massachusetts? Is that a good idea? After all, neither Puritans nor Pilgrims are, despite their love of Scripture, particularly fond of us folks who wrote it. Sit, stay a while! I have a little jug of rum in the cupboard for emergencies, and, with the snow falling outside, this seems as good an emergency as any—Sit! Gertruida—fetch those wooden cups, and join us for a nip of toddy!

Nothing like rum for thickening the blood. A question? About me? Ah, but Friend, I am but a simple butcher, an American—dare I say it?—who happens to be Jewish. Why do I fight so hard against that petty tyrant, that old Peg-Leg (He teases up his hair to cover his Royal Baldness, too, he does; my Gertruida does laundry for his missus, and they talk), that rotten excuse for a Governor? Because I want—I want—(drinks) to see our people free. Yes: free, in this New World. There is room here enow for Jews, Christians, agnostic, atheists—yes, and Blacks and Indians, too! All free. You ask, and I answer: that is all I want, and I will spend my life fighting for it. Drink, Stranger—l’chaim!

Asser Levy, among the first twenty-four Jews to enter the New World, never hesitated to fight for his rights as an immigrant to New Amsterdam. An Ashkenazi, rather than a Sephardic Jew, he tirelessly petitioned the governor to allow the Jews to participate in the Town Guard, rather than pay the “Jew Tax” customary in Europe. This succeeded, but Jews were not allowed to run for public office until Francis Salvador of SC in 1775, who later died in the Revolution. The Jews never did get their synagogue during Levy’s lifetime; Cong. Shearith Israel (The Remnant of Israel) was not built until 1730, long after Levy’s passing. (A Jewish Cemetery was founded in 1756, however; death was a near and frequent visitor, regardless of religion.) Levy did, eventually, get his butcher shop, on the understanding that he was not allowed to dispatch pigs. He is buried in an unknown grave, but both a public school and a public park in NYC bear his name.

Chapter 1: I just give off a creepy ‘I’m coming onto you’ vibe

A/N: This story is ongoing and in the making! The first couple of chapters I really just want you to get a feel for the characters and who they are! Please note that many people in my story are not as they appear in real life, for example: Tayler Holder is painted as a bad guy, and Bryce Hall is the sensitive best friend type. So please understand, these are characters in a story NOT the real people. Thanks and enjoy!

"This airport is huge. Where do we even go?" Kelsei looked at me and then looked around the massive LA airport.

"I don't even know, I texted Bryce and he said he would be at the front doors waiting for us," I grabbed her hand and pulled her through a throng of people heading towards what looked like baggage claim. "Ok, we get our bags and follow other people to find the exit."

After waiting for what seemed like forever to find our baggage, we finally found our way to the front of the airport and Bryce was standing there with Josh and Blake. Bryce held up a sign that said "Kate Everly" and Blake's said "Kelsei Green". I waved as my eyes met Bryce's and he ran over to me, picking me up in a big bear hug. He placed my feet gently back onto the ground and turned to Kelsei.

"It's nice to meet you Kelsei, I'm Bryce!" He hugged her gently and Josh and Blake walked over.

"I'm Blake, so nice to finally meet you both, I've heard so much about you!" Blake hugged us both, it was strong hug, very firm.

"I'm Josh, a HUGE fan of your videos Kate, you're awesome!" Josh hugged us both. He was gentle and more careful than the other two. It was like we were made of glass and he didn't want to break us.

Kelsei's eyes lingered on Blake a little too long. I couldn't tell if he noticed, but I definitely did.

"It's so awesome to finally be here! Ya'll are too kind letting us make the trip to LA!" My country accent wasn't strong, I wasn't born and raised in SC, but on occasion, it showed up.

"We're stoked to have you here! Right now it's just us 3 living at Sway right so we have plenty of room for you both to have your own rooms for the week. The rooms you'll be staying in are sometimes used by people who drop in for a weekend to collab with us or something like that. So it's perfect." Bryce smiled at me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "I cannot wait to show you ladies around LA, you're going to love it!"

Blake and Josh turned and grabbed our bags from us and carried them to the car while Bryce rambled on to me about how he started Sway and wanted it to become the most popular collab house in LA.

When we got back to the house I suddenly realized how tired I was. Jet lag was setting in and I could tell Kelsei was feeling it too. Blake offered to show her to her room and I gave her a little nudge as she walked away with him. Bryce grabbed my bag and showed me to my room.

It wasn't much. Four white walls, a king-size bed with no headboard, a small wooden table beside the bed, and a matching dresser in the far right corner. The closet was a walk-in and the room had a master bathroom that was a decent size. Bryce sat my bags on the floor in front of the closet and smiled at me.

"This is it! What do you think? I know it's not much, but it's clean and I changed the sheets this morning," he pointed to the bed and I giggled.

"That was awfully thoughtful of you, thank you. The room is perfect. I didn't expect to have my own bathroom, but that's a nice surprise." I threw my jean jacket onto the bed and sat down. Bryce motioned to the spot next to me and I nodded my approval.

"So, to be honest, I have ulterior motives for inviting you here other than just 1 week of collabs." I looked at him and bit my bottom lip as my eyes got wide. "No, no it's not what you're thinking, I mean you're gorgeous, but I definitely see us as more of friends."

"OHHH THANK GOD!" I flopped onto my back as he laughed.

"Was I giving off that vibe? I tend to do that sometimes I think it's because I'm a big goofball, but I'm also intense so I just give off a creepy 'I'm coming onto you' vibe. Sorry about that!" I laughed and smacked his arm.

"I was hoping that was what it was! But anyways, what did you bring me here for?"

"Well the guys and I have been talking and some of the best houses have guys AND girls. We want to mix things up, if things work out and you like it here and we all get along, we'd love for you and Kelsei to move here." I sat back up and looked at him.

"You want me to move my country bumpkin, country music lovin', square dancin', horseback ridin', cowboy boot wearin', hill-billy bonin' ass to surfer dude city California?" Bryce busted out laughing and I just stared at him completely taken aback.

"Yeah girl, why not? What do you have to lose?"

I thought about my hometown, filled with the same kids I went to high school with. I thought about bonfires at Ricky's house and trips to Myrtle Beach with Kelsei's family. I thought about homecoming football games and Clemson vs. Carolina games. I thought about dirt roads and watermelon stands. But LA was a whole different ball game. The air here was dry and the heat was...bearable, even in September. The traffic was horrible, that was apparent with how long it took to get from the airport to the house, a 15 min drive that took 45 min. As I contemplated the idea I realized I didn't have much in SC that I would miss other than my parents and they were so supportive that there was no way they wouldn't be okay with the move.

"I don't really have anything to lose. Let's see how things go, I don't hate the idea."

"I'm sure Kelsei won't either considering the eyes I saw her making at Blake at the airport."

"You saw that too?"

"Absolutely. He's definitely into her too. I can tell," Bryce smiled and stood up. "Well, I can tell you're exhausted even though it's only 6pm. Why don't you get some sleep and me and the guys will have breakfast ready for you in the morning?"

"That's so sweet, thank you! I definitely could use some rest." He smiled at me as he closed the door behind him. I laid on the bed for a few minutes staring at the ceiling and before I knew it, I was asleep.

________________________________________________________________________________

The next morning I woke up in the same clothes I had arrived in. My first order of business was a shower and fresh clothes. After I had managed that, I made my way out the door and into the kitchen where a distinct burnt scent was blazing through my sinus'. I found Blake and Bryce in the kitchen arguing about how much butter to use. I let out a cough and they both turned and looked at me.

"Kate! You're up! How did you sleep?" Bryce asked.

"Pretty well thanks. What are you boys up to?" Blake shook his head and Bryce motioned for me to sit down at the bar.

"Well, we're attempting to make breakfast for you and Kelsei, but neither Blake nor I know what we're doing."

"YOU BURNT THE TOAST BRYCE! TOAST!" Blake shook his head and sighed. "I may not know exactly what I'm doing, but my eggs will be edible." Blake continued to viciously stir the eggs and Bryce grabbed the toast and put it on a plate. Kelsei appeared from the other side of the house and sat next to me.

"Good morning friend and extremely good-looking boys I just met yesterday," Kelsei smiled and winked at Blake. His face turned bright red. Bryce punched him in the arm and Blake put some eggs on the plates. Bryce handed us girls each a plate first before getting one for himself and Blake.

"Where's Josh?" I asked.

"He spent the night at his girlfriend's. He does that some times, such a simp." Bryce tried to take a bite out of the toast which turned out to be extremely hard and inedible. The eggs were a bit runny, but not bad. Once we were done with breakfast, Bryce suggested we create some content and we spent 2 hours creating 3 different dances and posting them to our TikToks. After that, we went for lunch and spent the rest of the day getting to know each other.

Bryce was definitely a bad-boy. He pretended like he could get any girl he wanted, but truth be told he was still hung up on his ex Addison. He talked about her like she was some greek goddess who walked this earth.

Blake was playing it cool, but he spent most of the day just trying to get to know Kelsei. She told him about wanting to own her own gym and how she loved lifting and long distance running. Blake told her he loved those things too and I wasn't sure if he was just trying to connect with her or he was being honest, probably a bit of both.

At the end of the night, we met up with Josh at the house and all spent some time watching sitcoms and laughing together. The vibe was good. We could tell that we were all going to be great friends. All great friendships start this way, but they never end the same way they start. And our friendships with these boys would alter our lives forever.

20. Into The Deep, Pt.5

The Enchanted Forest. Past. (The Curse begins to spread over the land. Cora and Hook watch as it approaches. Then Cora hits the ground with her staff causing a magical barrier to appear over them covering a portion of the land.) Hook: “Wouldn't it have been easier to reconcile with her before her curse destroys the land?” Cora: “Regina doesn't need me – not now, not when she thinks she's about to win. But I still have a place in her heart. And the curse won't last forever. It will end. In twenty-eight years, there'll be a Savior. And she'll break it.” Hook: “Twenty-eight years!” Cora: “You won't even notice. You'll be frozen, like all those in this corner of the land. But when the curse ends, our quest will resume. And when it does, Regina will truly have lost everything. And then she'll need me. That's when we'll go to this new land. You'll get your revenge. And me, I'll… help her pick up the pieces.” Storybrooke. Present. The Well. (Mr. Gold holds the wand up in the air and green lightning transforms the water in the well.) The Enchanted Forest. Present. The Dark Dungeon. Mary Margaret: “We are going to get out of here.” Emma: “How? By staring at that scroll? It's not like its going to magically open a door for us.” Mary Margaret: “Yes, it is.” Emma: “What?” Mary Margaret: “When I was little girl, I used to sneak into Cora's chamber and watch her practice magic. She had a spell book. And Emma, the spells were in the book.” Emma: “Yeah. Isn't that what a spell book is? A book that has spells in it?” Mary Margaret: “Watch.” (Mary Margaret blows on the scroll. The ink slides off into a mist.) Emma: “Whoa. Squid Ink! Gold wrote the scroll in squid ink.” (The ink spreads onto the cells bars and then disintegrate. Emma laughs.) Mary Margaret: “Told you. Good always wins.” (They begin to leave.) Aurora: “Wait! I can't go. You have to tie me up.” Mulan: “No. I'm not leaving with you.” Aurora: “I can't be trusted. Not as long as Cora has my heart.” Mulan: “Then I will get it back for you.” Aurora: “Oh, Mulan.” Mulan: “I will.” Emma: “Mulan? We got to go.” Aurora: “Do it. (Mulan ties Aurora up:) Good luck.” Mary Margaret: “Thank you. Good luck to you.”

The Enchanted Forest. Present. Lake Nostos. Cora: “And now the ashes. Would you care to do the honors? (Gives Hook the bottle with ashes. Hook takes the bottle and pours the ashes into the lake. A portal opens:) Here we go. We'll be in Storybrooke soon enough. I really look forward to seeing my daughter. I told you I'd deliver you to Rumplestilskin. (Hook holds onto the compass:) Now don't let go unless you want to end up some place that isn't Storybrooke.” (An arrow is shot at the compass and is knocked out of Cora's hand. Across from them, Emma, Mary Margaret, and Mulan are revealed.) Emma: “You're not going anywhere. This portal's taking us home.” Mary Margaret: “The compass. Get it.” (They all split up.) Cora: (To Hook:) “Find it first. I'll take care of them. (Hook proceeds to do so, only to be pursued by Emma. The two of them begin to sword fight. Cora creates a ball of fire and throws it at Mulan, only for her to deflect it with her sword. Mary Margaret aims an arrow at Cora, only to miss when Cora disappears in smoke, sending Aurora's heart flying over Lake Nostos. Hook catches it just in time and tosses it back to a surprised Mulan.) Hook: “I may be a pirate, but I bristle at the thought of a woman losing her heart . . . unless it's over me.” (He picks up his sword again and Emma and he restart their fight. Mary Margaret runs over to a still-shocked Mulan.) Mary Margaret: “Go!” Mulan: “No. You need the compass.” Mary Margaret: “But Aurora needs her heart.” Mulan: (Handing Mary Margaret her sword:) “Take it. It deflects her magic.” (Mary Margaret takes the sword, and Mulan runs back to Aurora. We return to Emma and Hook.) Emma: “I had no idea you had such a soft side.” Hook: “I don't. I just like a fair fight. (Hook knocks Emma over:) Good form. But not good enough. (Mary Margaret hears a whistle, and turns around to find that Cora is right behind her. The two begin to face off. We return to Hook and Emma, the latter of whom is trapped on her back against his sword:) Normally, I'd prefer to do other more enjoyable activities with a woman on her back. But with my life on the line, you've left me no choice. Bit of advice: when I jab you with my sword, you'll feel it. You might want to quit.” Emma: (Discovers the compass right beneath her:) “Why would I do that when I'm winning? (In a sudden blast of strength, Emma stands up and punches Hook down:) Thanks. Now let's go home!”

Storybrooke. Present. The Well. (Mr. Gold stands in front of the now-mortally dangerous well as Ruby, Regina and Henry enter.) Regina: “Gold!” (Mr. Gold turns around, surprised.) Henry: “You aren't helping Emma and Mary Margaret, are you?” Mr. Gold: “I'm helping you, Henry.” Henry: “What are you talking about?” Ruby: “You're gonna kill them!” (She proceeds closer, only to be knocked out cold by Mr. Gold's magic.) Mr. Gold: “Sorry, dearie.” Henry: “What are you doing?” Mr. Gold: “I can't let Cora came through the portal. You have no idea what she would do to us.” Henry: “Emma and Mary Margaret are going to defeat her. They're the ones that are going to come through!” Mr. Gold: "It's going to be Cora.” Henry: “No! It won't! Good always defeats evil. (Turns to Regina:) Stop it! You can stop this! He’s gonna kill them! Please!” Regina: “Henry, the only way I can do that is to absorb the magic. That would mean using magic.” Henry: “I know! Please, you have to try! They're going to make it through! We have to turn it off! It’s gonna kill them! (Desperately:) You said you wanted to change, to be better. This is how.” The Enchanted Forest. Present. Lake Nostos. Mary Margaret: “Why do you want to go to Storybrooke?” Cora: “Because my daughter needs me. And now I'm going to give her the one thing she's always wanted: your heart. Goodbye, Snow.” Emma: (Running in front of Snow:) “No.” Mary Margaret: “Emma!” Cora: (Her hand inside Emma’s chest:) “Oh, you foolish girl. Don't you know? Love is weakness.” (Cora attempts to rip Emma’s heart from her chest but she cannot.) Emma: “No, it's strength. (From within Emma, a blast of magic blasts Cora backward:) What was that?” Mary Margaret: “That is a great subject for discussion... when we get home. (Runs to the portal:) Come on. Ready?” Emma: “Yeah. Let's go.” (They both jump into the portal.)

Storybrooke. Present. The Well. (Regina walks toward the well. Placing her hands over it, she begins to absorb the magic.) Mr. Gold: “Regina!” (A sudden blast, knocks Regina down.) Henry: “No!” (Henry runs forward to check on her.) Regina: “I'm sorry, Henry. I'm sorry.” (Emma begins to climb out the well.) Henry: “Mom?” Emma: “Henry!” Henry: “Mom!” (Rushes over to her.) Emma: “I missed you.” (They hug.) Henry: “I missed you, too.” Emma: “I missed you so much.” (Mr. Gold & Regina exchange glances and he retreats back to town.) Mary Margaret: (Joins the hug:) “What's going on? What happened?” Henry: “My mom saved you. She saved both of you.” Emma: (To Regina:) “Thank you.” Regina: “You're welcome.” Ruby: (Running forward:) “Are you okay?” Mary Margaret: “Hey. (They hug:) Where's my husband? I need to find him.” (Ruby and Mary Margaret leave.) Emma: “Um, your mom - she's... She's a piece of work, you know?” Regina: “Indeed, I do. Welcome back.” Emma: “Thanks. (Henry beams at Regina as he hugs Emma tightly. Noticing how she’s leaning against the tree:) Are you all right?” Regina: “I’m... fine. I’ve just absorbed a lot of magic and-” (Regina attempts to stand by herself but stumbles.) Emma: “Hey.” Henry: “Mom?” Regina: “I’m all right, just a little drained.” Emma: “I’ll drink to that. Here. (Emma offers her arm in support and Regina accepts:) Kid, you wanna take the other side?” (Henry moves around to support the weakened woman as all three head back towards the town.)

Mr.Gold's Pawn Shop. Present. (In the shop, Mary Margaret runs to David, who lays on a cot surrounded by the dwarves.) Mary Margaret: “David!” (Mary Margaret kisses David, and a burst of magic erupts. David awakens with a gasp.) David: “You... you did it.” Mary Margaret: “Did you ever doubt I would?” David: “No. (David and Mary Margaret kiss:) Though the burning red room did give me pause.” (David and Mary Margaret kiss again.) Outside The Mayor’s House. Present. (Henry walks his mother to the door as Emma waits by the path.) Regina: “I can take it from here, Henry. I just need to rest.” Henry: “Are you sure? I can stay, if you want.” Regina: “I’d love that, but I don’t think I’d be much company. How about you and Emma go and have dinner at Granny's?” Henry: “Yeah, that’s a great idea. (He begins to leave then stops:) You know, I was right. You really have changed. (Runs back and hugs Regina:) Thank you.” (Regina slowly melts into her son’s embrace and sighs. Kissing him on the head, she releases him, watching as he joins Emma on their way back to town.) The Enchanted Forest. Present. Rumplestiltskin's cell. (Mulan is holding Aurora’s heart in her hand.) Aurora: “Have you done this before?” Mulan: “No.” (Pushes Aurora's heart back in her body.) Aurora: (Gasps:) “Thank you.” Mulan: “What now?” Aurora: “Cora told me something. When a wraith consumes a soul, it's not trapped there forever. It can be reunited with its body.” Mulan: “You think we can save Phillip?” Aurora: “We can try.” Mulan: “Then let's try.” (They stand and leave the cell together.) Mr.Gold's Pawn Shop. A short time later. (Emma enters the shop and crosses over to Gold.) Emma: “We need to talk.” Mr. Gold: “Yes. I believe apologies are in order.” Emma: “No. No apology is necessary. I understand why you wanted to keep Cora out of here.” Mr. Gold: “Just remind me never to bet against you in the future, Miss Swan.” Emma: “It's not really a bet when the game is rigged, is it?” Mr. Gold: “To what exactly are you referring?” Emma: “Your scroll. I saw it in your cell. You wrote my name again, and again, and again.” Mr. Gold: “I just wanted to make sure it would stick.” Emma: “The ink - it was there all the time. You could have gotten out.” Mr. Gold: “I was exactly where I wanted to be. You needed to find that, so all of this could occur.” Emma: “You created the curse, Gold. You made me the Savior. So everything I've ever done, it's exactly what you wanted me to do.” Mr. Gold: “I created the curse, dearie, but I didn't make you. I merely took advantage of what you are - the product of true love. That's why you're powerful. And everything you've done, you've done yourself.” Emma: “So you don't know.” Mr. Gold: “Know what?” Emma: “Cora tried to rip my heart out, but she couldn't. She was blasted back with something inside me. By... By...” Mr. Gold: “By magic. Whatever that was, I didn't do that. You did.” The Enchanted Forest. Present. Lake Nostos. Cora: “We failed.” Hook: “Really, Cora. After all this time, why do you still doubt me?” (He holds up the giant’s bean.) Cora: “But that bean is petrified. It's useless.” Hook: “But these waters have regenerative properties. Perhaps it's time to do some gardening.” 

The End.

Return

Man, what’s with all these one/two-word titles? Eh, it fits anyway.

So, this is a part of the “Brain Trauma AU” that @radioactivedelorean, @witete, @a-million-chromatic-dreams and others came up with a while back -- and one that I joined earlier this week to flood with fluff. Considering that I’ve been focusing on Ford’s recovery from being stuck in his own body as it shuts down around him, I think you can all guess what it is that this particular title means. :)

You can find all the other stuff we’ve written here!

The town of Gravity Falls was buzzing with excitement as people stood in the town square.

Fiddleford, who had come dancing down from the mansion an hour ago, wove through the crowd, offering confirmation from what he’d heard and letting people see the little card with the frilly lizard that he’d received as proof of it.

“I cannot believe Mabel got to go to another dimension and didn’t take us with her!” Candy scowled, then shook her head as the scowl softened. “But family is more important, and I understand that.”

Pacifica huffed and tossed her hair back with a hand. “I’m wondering about this giant alien woman everyone’s been talking about. Only McGucket’s seen her, and he’s shorter than the rest of us. I really doubt that anyone’d be able to carry Dr. Pines around, anyway.”

“I COULD CARRY HIM!”

Multiple heads turned. “Shhhh!”

Grenda ducked her head. “Sorry.”

“That’s just because you’re abnormally strong,” Pacifica responded with a shrug. “I doubt that any alien would be able to stand up against you in a test of strength.”

“Indeed!” Candy adjusted her glasses. “And--”

The air suddenly rippled in front of the crowd, causing all conversation to cut off suddenly as a rip in space appeared in front of them.

Bodacious T -- formerly known as Toby Determined -- started to bring up a bat covered in nails, but Fiddleford pushed it down and gave the reporter a look that caused him to stumble back.

“It’s okay. I know it looks dangerous, but this one doesn’t go anywhere bad,” Fiddleford said seriously. He paused. “At least, that’s what I think.”

The hole of space ripped a little, and then Dipper and Mabel stepped through, hand in hand, with bright grins on their faces.

“Dipper! Mabel!” Wendy started waving a hand wildly in order to get their attention.

“Wendy!” Dipper waved back as Stan came out of the portal behind them. “Long time no see!”

“Mr. Pines!” Soos’ voice wavered.

“Hey, hey, don’t you dare start crying on me.” Stan gave Soos a pointed look, and the man-child sniffled and rubbed at his nose. His expression softened. “It’s good ta see you too, Soos.”

“Where’s Dr. Pines?” Candy asked.

“He’s comin’, just give ‘em a second.”

The portal rippled again, and Jhessie stepped through, a rather disgruntled Ford in her arms.

“--can walk, Jhessie,” Ford was saying. “Put me d-down!”

Stan snickered, and Ford shot him an annoyed look as Jhessie carefully lowered Ford to the ground. As Ford’s sandaled feet settled on the ground, he leaned against a cane made of dark purple wood that shimmered, as though made of pure glitter. The grip at the top of it appeared to be made of silver, carved in the form of a little lizard-creature with frills on the sides of its head.

“I simply wanted to make sure that you had passed through my portal safely.” Jhessie patted Ford on the head kindly, making his disgruntled expression soften a little.

“...okay, I take back what I was saying before,” Pacifica said. “That is a really tall alien.”

“Ford!” Fiddleford scrambled out of the crowd and grabbed his friend in a hug. “Yer walkin’!”

Ford’s frown melted instantly into a grin as Stan burst out laughing.

“He’s been walkin’ fer a good two days now!” Stan said. “Took ‘im a bit, though.”

“Well, I’m just glad that yer able ta move around again.” Fiddleford smiled brightly.

“As am I,” Ford agreed.

“Cool cane, Stan Number Two.” Wendy slipped out of the crowd. “Did Mabel have a hand in making that?”

“Yup!” Mabel bounded over to the redhead. “Jhessie let me dunk it in glitter! Isn’t it awesome?”

“For sure!” Wendy held out a hand, which Mabel promptly high-fived.

“What’s with the little lizard thing?” Pacifica asked.

“I-it’s an axolotl,” Ford corrected.

“The Axolotl is an important deity in the multiverse,” Jhessie explained. “My temple is dedicated to him.”

“What, you mean the place where you took them?” Pacifica pointed at Ford and the other Pines.

“That is quite so. The technology I have available to me in my dimension was able to do far more to assist Ford rather than maintain the state he was in. I have done everything I can, and although he is capable of moving about on his own, he will not be without his scars.” Jhessie put a hand on Ford’s shoulder. “I would stay and answer more questions, but I am afraid that I must take my leave of you.”

“You mean you can’t stay a day?” Mabel asked, disappointed. “But -- but you have to meet everyone in Gravity Falls!”

“While that is true, I’m afraid I have other versions of your great-uncle to assist in recovery, so they may continue traveling and eventually find their own ways back to their dimensions.” Jhessie looked at Mabel kindly, then turned her attention to the townsfolk. “I will now take my leave of you.”

With a slight bow of her head and a small smile, Jhessie turned and stepped back through the portal, which winked out of existence.

There was only a short pause before the Pines were peppered with questions on all sides from the people of Gravity Falls.

“COOL IT!”

Mabel’s yell caused the questions to trickle to a halt.

“Thanks, pumpkin.” Stan ruffled her hair before looking at the townsfolk. “I know you guys are worried, but ya mind givin’ us a bit ta get settled back in the Shack an’ arrange fer a ride back ta Piedmont fer the kids? We’ve, uh..we’ve got a lot ta think about.”

“Don’t you mean get back to your boat, Mr. Pines?” Soos spoke up.

“Nah, Soos. Unfortunately, those days are behind us, short as they were.” Stan clapped a hand on Ford’s shoulder, being careful not to throw him off balance. “We can probably find other things ta do around here.”

Ford nodded, but his eyes had a bit of a melancholy expression in them now.

“What do you mean?” Wendy frowned. “That was your dream, wasn’t it?”

“Well, yeah, it was. With how Ford’s legs are he’d never adjust ta the sea too well, so we just figured we’d stay on land where it’s easier.” Stan frowned. “Sides, Jhessie shot down the idea pretty fast.”

“Sh-she’s j-just c-concerned for our w-w-wellbeing.” Ford made a slight face as his words stumbled over each other.

“Yeah, but we don’t need a second mom.”

“If you’re not gonna go out to sea, then what are ya gonna do?” Fiddleford asked.

“Hang around town.” Stan shrugged. “Ford’s got a couple things he can do yet.”

“P-papers to write,” Ford explained. “Sc-scientific dis-s-scoveries to record.”

“Ya ain’t doin’ more field work, though.”

Ford shook his head sadly at Fiddleford’s questioning stare. “Th-those days are behin-nd me.”

“Then you’re going to need help, old man. Right?”

Ford looked up as Pacifica folded her arms across her chest.

“Pacifica!” Gideon hissed from somewhere in the crowd. “Ya don’ talk to the Author that way!”

“Shut up, I can do what I want,” Pacifica called back. “Look, Dr. Pines, if you want to keep doing research on stuff here, you’re gonna need help. Candy and Grenda have already been running around bugging the gnomes and doing who knows what else -- they’ve probably managed to find some stuff that you haven’t.”

Ford’s eyes narrowed.

“Pacifica….” Candy adjusted her glasses nervously. “I really doubt that we have found things that Dr. Pines has not discovered yet.”

“I bet he hasn’t studied a Hawktopus before!” Grenda grinned widely.

Ford reeled back with a spluttering noise. Stan burst out laughing.

“He labeled that thing ‘too stupid to study’ in his journals, so you got him there!” Stan laughed as Ford shot him a sour look.

“YES!” Grenda threw a fist in the air. “We can fill you in on all its awesomeness!”

“I highly doubt it’s that ‘awesome,’” Ford muttered, scowling.

“You shall have to wait and see,” Candy said with a knowing wink. “We will come by when you are settled in.” She turned and walked out of the plaza, Grenda following after her.

“We’ll bring you the one that I’m keeping in my house!” Grenda called back.

Ford spluttered again.

“Guess I’ll see you around. Or something.” Pacifica shrugged and followed after them.

Ford stared after them with an incredulous expression as Stan burst out laughing.

“Those kids are a hoot,” Stan said as he recovered himself. “You’re gonna like ‘em, Poindexter; I guarantee it.”

Ford looked at him with a lidded stare that suggested he might think otherwise.

Stan chuckled and patted Ford on the shoulder. “Come on; let’s get back to the Shack and get things settled in. I’m gonna have to drive down to where I’ve got the boat to get our stuff, obviously, but I think I left a few things here to make do for a couple days.”

“We could call Mom and Dad and get them to bring the stuff up,” Dipper suggested. “I mean, they are gonna want to pick us up.”

“And they’re gonna wanna see you, too!” Mabel chirped. “So we could do that, right?”

Stan tapped his chin in thought. “Well, I don’t see why not. Would save money on two bus tickets. We’ll call ‘em when we get back to the Shack.”

“They’re gonna be so happy to know that Grunkle Ford’s okay!”

Ford smiled at Mabel’s exclamation as she started to dance down the street towards the Mystery Shack.

“We’ve got a car nearby if you guys need--”

“We’ll be fine walking, Soos.” Stan waved off Soos’ suggestion. “Ford’s been stuck in bed long enough.”

Ford smiled a little at Stan’s statement.

“We’ll come by the Shack and make sure you boys are settling in later.” Susan smiled at the two of them and winked her lazy eye. “Wink!”

Stan spluttered a little as the townsfolk scattered back to their homes. Gideon and his father remained there for a moment, but a look from Dipper and a raised eyebrow from Stan caused them to bolt.

“That kid’s got a few more things ta learn before he’s gettin’ anywhere near yer research,” Stan muttered.

Ford grunted in agreement. He turned and started moving down the street, cane clacking against the ground with every slight-unsteady step. Stan followed along next to him, Dipper staying ahead. Mabel was already a pink, sweater-y blob in the distance.

“It’s definitely gonna be different from here on out, huh?”

Ford gave a short hum and nodded in response to Stan’s question. The grip on the axolotl-handle of his cane tightened a little. “M-my research is g-g-going to be dif-f-ferent.”

“Yeah, since ya can’t be out there yourself.” Stan nodded. “Some of the time, anyway. Those kids’ll be a big help, though, I can guarantee that.” He gained a sly look. “So, what was it about that ‘Hawktopus’ that made it too stupid to study?”

Ford groaned.
