#i don't mind not knowing everything but seeing little bits of bonding between the members isn't enough for me to love the team completely

[doggernaut]

Thank you to @parvuls for the BINGO card and motivation to do this. I love fic, and I love sharing fic recs (and I love hunting down fics for people!), especially those that fly under the radar. I think there's a good mix of "classics" and what I hope will become new favorites for people in here.

(I'm going for the blackout here, folks, but will post one line at a time because I just got back from one trip and am trying to plan another (not to mention catch up on everything I put off during the week I was away), and putting these rec lists together is time consuming. )

genfic (no ships) • Atwater Market by WrathoftheStag (@wrathofthestag)

I love this little fic about Bitty and Bob bonding as they shop for dinner. There's something really satisfying about reading about positive relationships between a character and their partner's family members, and I love that Bitty and Bad Bob have their own "thing" they're able to connect over that has nothing to do with Jack. @wrathofthestag also writes so evocatively about cities and food; when I can’t travel, her fics scratch that itch.

crossover • And the Day Winding Like Dreams by HugeAlienPie (@hugealienpie)

This is less a crossover than it is a fic inspired by Inception, though characters from that movie are mentioned in passing. What this is is a fic that takes Inception’s world building and skillfully transfers it to a post-canon SMH fic that’s also a heist AU and an incredibly romantic getting together story. Read it even if you aren’t familiar with Inception; I did and I loved it, and when I finally saw the movie it was that much easier to follow because I’d read this fic.

hurts so good • This Unsheltered Place  by westernredcedar (@thewesternredcedar)

Buckle up and brace yourself because this is it, the ultimate angst fic. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read this fic and still have to skim the first few chapters because they’re so painful. But, painful in w way that poking at a bruise is kind of satisfying. Despite the pain, this is one of my top five fics of all time. Yes, there is a breakup, but the coming back together is so satisfying and, because of the way it happens, feels so earned. This is also a wonderful Jack Zimmermann character study that delves into his anxieties and insecurities (a thing that @thewesternredcedar is so so good at in every fic). His decisions in this fic aren’t always the best decisions but they always make sense, and that’s largely because the author is so skillful at making the reader to see Bitty through Jack’s eyes. (Mind the tags, because I mean it when I say this one can be rough.)

still a WIP • It's Only a Change of Time  by Sophia_Prester (@missweber)

I don't want to say too much about this time loop fic but that's because 23 (out of a projected 25) chapters in, I still can't begin to guess how it's going to end. It's a time loop and a mystery and there's a bit of hockey history and Jack Zimmermann/Zimmermann family backstory thrown in as well. Johnson is there. Through it all, it's Jack's love for Bitty and the life he wants to build with him that drives him to do what he does. Over and over again. This fic is so well thought out and executed. As soon as it finishes I plan to read it all over again from the beginning because I know I'll see things I missed the first time around.

you read it instead of sleeping • Heart of Ice by flowerfan (@flowerfan2)

This is a 55K fic that I read in one night. I couldn’t put it down. Without giving too much away, it’s a mystery of sorts that begins with Jack disappearing. I read this straight through because I couldn’t sleep without knowing why Jack left. The chapters depicting the months Bitty spends alone, grieving the end of his relationship and forging ahead with his post-college life, felt as long to me as they must have to him. As the story progresses the reason for Jack’s disappearance, and the way he and Bitty navigate their new normal upon his return, is slowly revealed. This fic is so well-crafted and though an AU, it has all of the elements of a classic Zimbits fic: their love for one another despite the apparent obstacles, and Bitty’s kindness and belief in Jack, are its foundation.

I might not be that anon, and i'm not sure it counts, but could you please, please, please post your phenomenal writing? i don't want your work and time to be wasted!! thank you so much and have a nice day! ♡

Platonic! Zoro, Sanji & Luffy with Teen! G/N! Strawhat who gives them Friendship Bracelets

Summary: You were a new member of the Strawhat Pirates, even though you were just 14. Even so, your crew accepted you like their own family (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Roronoa Zoro:

- Zoro is indifferent when you showed up one day, Luffy carrying you like a sack of potatoes (is that how you use that lol).

- I mean, Luffy usually bring weird beings on the Sunny so yeah, it's pretty normal to see the goofy captain carrying a normal looking teen

- Though he was skeptical and a little suspicious when Luffy announced that you would be a new addition to the crew.

- You're 14?? You're 3 years younger than Chopper! You're too young to be a pirate!

- Zoro tried to talk about it to Luffy but the latter just dismissed him with a laugh.

- Guess he have to stick with it now, it's Captain's orders after all.

- At first, you look like hesitant and uncomfortable with the crew but over time, you were bonding with them like you know them for a long time. Except for Zoro

- You always tried to approach him but it seems like he's still a little suspicious of you so you were dejected, thinking he's mad at you. Nami and the others always scold him for his unsual cold demeanor towards you.

- When it has been a year after you joined the crew, you decided to give everyone friendship bracelets you have made.

- Everyone was ecstatic, wearing their respective colored bracelets (Luffy-Red, Zoro-Green, Sanji-Blue, Nami-Orange, Usopp-Yellow, Chopper-Pink, Robin-Violet, Franky-Light Blue, Brook-Black, Jinbe-Teal)

- When you handed the green bracelet to Zoro, he didn't bother to hide his surprised expression.

- "You're giving me one, too?" You just laughed at his "(⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓|’⁠)" face

- "Of course! You always helped me carry heavy stuff around the ship, protect me from the enemies and even give advices to me when I train! Thank you for everything, Zoro-nii!"

- "Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro has never blushed tremendously until that very day.

- Heck, everyone in the crew always giggle whenever they tease Zoro about it.

- Ya'll can always see the bright green jewelry wrapped around the big and tough swordsman.

- One time, a dumb Marine laughed at him for it and Zoro shuts him up with a slash on the face.

Blackfoot Sanji:

- You're a new member of the crew? Guess there's more mouths to feed, Sanji mused.

- Sanji was very wary of you at first, thinking that you might backstab everyone when they're not looking.

- But you're clumsy and innocent self dismissed those suspicious thoughts the cook have

- Gradually, Sanji mellowed a bit when it comes to you. And when you showed him your cooking skills? Oh my!

- "This looks... nice?" Sanji chuckled nervously, nudging at the weird looking food with his fork. He sniffed at it, curly eyebrows raised in surprise. "What... It smells good?"

- You huffed at him and decided to shoved a spoonful of your cooked meal into Sanji's mouth, taking him by surprise.

- ✧⁠\⁠(⁠>⁠o⁠<⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠✧ was literally his reaction towards your food

- You and Sanji technically became besties after that, talking and arguing about what the crew should eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner plus the in-between snacks.

- Unlike Zoro, Sanji doesn't mind if you're just a 14 year old. Though that doesn't mean he won't protect you and the ladies from harm!

- And when you gave Sanji a blue friendship bracelet, he was gushing at it like a little kid.

- "No one gave me something like this before!" He exclaimed with a charming smile.

- Expect to have the most delicious meal of your life after that 😉

Monkey D. Luffy:

- He see you. You see him. He smiles at you. You smile back at him.

- And in a blink of an eye, he's all over you, insisting that you should join his pirate crew, jumping around like a monkey.

- Overwhelmed, you thought about it for a few seconds before agreeing with him.

- And in another blink of an eye, you found yourself on the Thousand Sunny.

- Well that was fast, you gawked in disbelief, looking around the layout of the ship as Luffy toured you around. Afterwards, you came face to face with an equally overwhelmed crew.

- "Guys! This is Y/n, our new crew member! Shishishi!" Luffy presented you proudly. (You know that Will Smith meme? Yeah, that's the one)

- "H-Hi...!" You shyly waved at your gawking fellow crew members and in another ANOTHER blink of an eye, you found yourself being swarmed with curious questions.

- While you were being interviewed, you can see Luffy jumping around outside of the human circle formed around you, trying to get everyone's attention by shouting XD

- After settling down, you finally learned about everyone's name properly and thankfully, ya'll get along pretty well.

- Chopper would definitely get you to call him Chopper-nii, like a certain Rabbit Mink would.

- Not only Chopper, you also called everyone else your big brothers and sisters. Even Luffy who sometimes act like he's younger than you!

- Several weeks have passed and you decided to give everyone colorful friendship bracelets to show them how grateful you are for their warm acceptance.

- And let's just say Luffy treasures his red bracelet just like how he treasures his strawhat 🥰

Bonus!

+ Luffy tried making you a friendship bracelet but to no luck, so instead, he gave you this rare bug he found (like the one he found in Jaya). You decided to keep it as a pet, although you were hesitant at first but you came to love the bug in the end.

+ Luffy told you its name was Meat so Meat it was XD

+ Your favorite hobby was to nap with Luffy on the lion figurehead during a sunny day (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

You may just have save this work and I thank you sooo much for that, Anon! Previous Anon of this request and Current Anon, here you go! Hope you like it! :D

Also phenomenal writing?

Except the assh*le part lol-

[nevis-the-skeleton]

What if TFP Autobot Starscream (who helped Miko) bonds with the kids + the Autobots... while Soundwave and Lazerbeak watch, then show all the Decepticons... Megatron becomes obsessed with wanting Starscream back, as a prisoner! O_O; 

Wow, poor Starscream… Megatron seems to be getting more and more dangerous after his desertion… Thanks for your request sweety anon (^3^)

~~~

Starscream had managed to detect a new source of energon, and the Autobots were now extracting it. The Seeker watched them going back and forth between the cave and the outside, sitting on a rock, with the children. Arcee noticed it, and frowned, before exclaiming:

“Do you ever think of coming to help us?!

- I already helped you by finding this mine! It's not up to me to do everything! replied the jet.

- Primus! He's unbearable!

- Well, it's Starscream! Bulkhead joked.

- I do not allow such a remark! Starscream exclaimed.

- Well help us in this case!

- No!"

Optimus saw that there seemed to be a small altercation, and moved closer before asking:

"Is there a problem?

- Starscream refuses to help us!" the warrior replied, pointing an accusing finger at the Seeker.

The jet lifted his wings and clutched them behind his back, as he tried to create a potable excuse for the Autobot leader. Claustrophobia was surely not a valid excuse, Megatron had never accepted it anyway.

"OK! Fine! I'm coming!" huffed the flyer, getting up.

He didn't want to be punished for this. It was just a stupid fear, and he could very well overcome it! Even if… this cave was still particularly deep… What was he going to do if he got stuck?! It was then that Prime put a hand on his shoulder, stopping him in his way. Starscream looked up in surprise, but also with a hint of fear, at Optimus. The Seeker lowered his wings, and stammered:

"I… I said I was going, didn't I…?"

"So please don't hit me…!" but that he did his best to keep it in his mind. The Autobot leader turned to his team members, then said:

“Go help Bumblebee, the poor one is doing everything on his own.

- Oh yes! Let's go!" Bulkhead nodded quickly.

The two departed, leaving Prime and Starscream alone with the children. The Seeker looked away, twitching his hands as the anguish began to become overwhelming. What was Optimus waiting for to hit him?! Let's get it over with!

"Why don't you want to help the others? the Autobot leader asked softly.

- It… it's not that I don't want to help them… sputtered the jet.

- What is the problem in this case?

- Uh… well…

- He just wants to spend time with us!" Miko exclaimed.

The two robots looked at the children, and Starscream struggled to hide his confusion. Prime didn't really seem to believe it, but he could see that the Japanese girl was trying to help the Seeker. The leader of the Autobots decided not to insist, and said:

“Have fun then. I know there's a lake not far from here, you could take the kids there.

- Ah! I want to go there too!"

Bumblebee was coming out of the cave, covered in dirt, and repeated:

“I want to go too!"

Prime laughed a little, then asked the jet:

"It doesn't bother you?

- You… Are you really asking my opinion…? Starscream was genuinely surprised.

- Well yes."

The Seeker didn't know what to say at all, it seemed like eons since the last time he had been asked for his opinion. Or at least, if he agreed on something. On the Nemesis, his opinion or agreement was much the least heard and listened to, along with Soundwave's voice.

“So, is it yes or is it no?! Miko impatiently pulled the jet out of her thoughts.

- Miko, don't be so childish. Jack interjected.

- Eh!!"

Starscream was still a bit silent for a while, then answered, with a slight smile:

"It doesn't bother me."

Bumblebee looked really happy, making happy little beeps, while Raf laughed. The group soon separated from the cave, heading for the lake. Miko ran at top speed, and shouted:

“The last to arrive is a chiken!"

The other two children were quick to follow her, as the Seeker turned to the scout.

"A what?

- It's a terrestrial bird. beeped the yellow car.

- That's a strange insult.

- Humans are still full of mysteries.

- For sure!"

Bumblebee chuckled softly, and the jet turned his attention back to the kids, and made a startled move as he saw Miko jump in the water.

“Oh! What is she doing ?! panicked Starscream.

- Don't worry. It surprised me the first time too, but they actually know how to swim. These are not the same muddy or acidic liquids as with us.

- Ah… I knew that the water was not dangerous for us, but I couldn't know for them.

- I think it wouldn't be too bad for you to know more about Earth, it'll save you another fright!"

The Seeker laughed lightly, and nodded:

"You're right.

- Ooh?! Would I have made the great Starscream admit that I was right?! It's a first! Amazing! Bumblebee joked in a series of beeps.

- No, but hey!"

But, even though the jet did his best to look indignant, he didn't quite succeed. An involuntary smile kept forming on his face, as his Spark seemed filled with a rare tranquility.

It wasn't long before the two robots arrived at the level of the lake, while the children began to swing from the water in their faces, while laughing. They sat down by the lake, and that's when Jack started coughing, straining the jet that started to get up. But the scout grabbed his hand, shaking his head, and replied:

“He just drank some water accidently, don't worry.

- But, this liquid is not dangerous for them to ingest…?

- No, on the contrary, it's one of the things that allow them to live.

- Really…? These humans are full of mysteries.

- Ha! Ha! Ha! True!

- Hey! Come join us! The water is not very cold you know?! Miko invited.

- I'm coming! 

- It will be without me…" said Starscream.

Bumblebee stepped into the water, and turned to the Seeker, then asked:

"You come?

- I'm fine here… answered the jet.

- …

- You know, Starscream, you're safe with this water. tried to reassure Jack. You're not hurt this time, it can't do anything to you.

- I prefer not to take the risk… huffed the flyer.

- Aren't you tired of being scared all the time? asked the Japanese girl.

- Miko! scolded the teenager.

- What?! It's true!"

Starscream lowered his wings and frowned, clearly vexed. He looked away, and crossed his arms, his Spark finally hurting him again. It was hard to remove the scarred memories that kept coming back. That's when he felt something tap his foot, and he looked down to see the cheeky kid.

"Will you help me up that tree? Mike asked.

- You might fall, and if that happens Bulkhead will destroy me.

- Why?

- Because I helped you up, obviously…! Are you stupid or something?!"

The Seeker was still upset by the Japanese girl's previous remark, and only wanted one thing right now, and that was to leave.

“I promise Bulk will not destroy you. finally said the girl.

- Promise, promise?

- Promise, promise! So, are you helping me?!"

The jet raised his optics to the sky smiling, then invited her to climb on his hand, before putting her on a fairly stable branch.

“If you fall, you will make it clear to others that it's entirely your fault. Not mine. said Starscream.

- Hooo! But yes! Miko sighed. Why would they blame you anyway?!"

"Because I'm still guilty..."

"That's not true…"

The Seeker looked at the Japanese girl in surprise, while the latter had an expression that he could have interpreted as being worried. But it was hard to say. The jet looked away, ashamed to have said that out loud. The girl frowned, then it was then that she had an idea. Miko ran onto the branch, and jumped towards the lake, much to Starscream's amazement!

“Hey Bulk! suddenly shouted the Japanese girl. Scream doesn't know how to have fun!!"

The Japanese girl landed in the water, and the Seeker raised his wings, when he suddenly heard heavy footsteps heading towards him! He barely had time to turn around to see Bulkhead rushing at him. The jet gave a start of surprise, and the Wrecker caught him, before jumping into the lake, exclaiming:

"Come on! Water time!"

Starscream yelled in shock, as the two fell in the water! The Seeker got up quickly, and looked at the big green robot angrily, before exclaiming:

"Oh that! You're going to pay for that, Autobot!"

Bulkhead's only response was to squirt water at the face of the jet, which soon retaliated! The lake, which was usually so calm, became much less so, and the children had fun being tossed around by the waves caused by the robots. Bumblebee ended up participating as well, and the Wrecker was quickly overwhelmed by the Seeker and the scout.

Arcee and Optimus soon arrived, and watched the scene laughing a little. Prime couldn't hide a smile, as the jet seemed to be a little more relaxed than usual.

Starscream sent another burst of water against Bulkhead, and the latter cried out in surprise, as he was hit by a large fish, directly in the face. Time seemed to freeze, and the fish stayed on the Wrecker's face, before finally slipping away and returning to its natural habitat.

The children were soon laughing at him, laughing out loud, just like Bumblebee. Starscream couldn't help laughing back, even though he had done his best to contain himself. The others looked a little surprised, because for most of them it was probably the first time they had heard him laugh. Bulkhead approached him, and exclaimed:

"Don't laugh at me! Don't laugh at me!

- You got slapped by a fish!! Ha! Ha! Ha!" the Seeker laughed out loud.

The two began to struggle against each other, the Wrecker trying to knock the jet down in the water, while the latter continued to laugh. Miko cheered on her friend, while Jack and Raf sided with Starscream, causing Bulkhead to call them traitors. Optimus never took his smile away, and Arcee huffed.

“Really, they are all kids!"

The Prime chuckled softly, the laugh almost imperceptible, but his Spark had sensed it, beaming with genuine joy. However, what the group didn't know was that they were not alone. A small red glow was perceptible from the trees, watching their every move, and sending information back to the Nemesis.

~

Soundwave broadcast on the screen what Laserbeak was filming, and if KnockOut and Breakdown were rather happy to see that the Seeker was still alive, and above all much better treated, this was clearly not the case for Megatron. He slammed into the computer's control panel, screaming in rage, his optics glowing a fiery purple!

"He dared… the leader of the Decepticons muttered, more to himself than anyone else. Optimus dared! He dared to take him from me…!"

He turned angrily to the other Decepticons, who instantly tensed. The ex-gladiator drew himself up to his full height, his fists clenched, and shouted:

"I don't care what condition you bring him back! As long as he's alive! No matter what, even if you have to die! Bring me back Starscream!!"

This Ghoulette Doesn't Take Shit

Sunshine Ghoul x Reader Fluff

Summary: Dewdrop's getting a bit heated. And Sunshine does appreciate that too much.

Warnings: Dewdrop being a complete douche

A/n: I wanna preface this to those who read author's notes - I don't really understand the ghoulettes personalities too much. I will say, I'm one of those people who have only paid half as attention to them as I do to the boys. But, I'm gonna try this, yeah?

•--•

You were one of the tech crew, a valuable asset to the band and someone who could completely fuck up a show if they wished. And this is why the ghouls loved you - you never chose to fuck up a show.

You did everything in your power to help the ghouls with their instruments, calibrating the different set volumes of their mics and even the intensity of each instrument so it would compliment the other as perfect as it could. You helped a lot more too, but those were the main reasons they appreciated you so much.

And through this all, you'd formed an amazing relationship with the ghouls. They treated you like you were one of them and like you had always been one the of them. And through this bonding came an even greater relationship with the newest ghoulette.

She'd watched you effortlessly interact with the rest of the band. As a result, she adored you, in more than a friendly way, clinging to you with kisses and hugs that you originally thought were gestured of kindness. Cumulus gave you kisses all over her face when you would know exactly how to fix her mic in mere seconds if it had screwed her during a show.

Sunshine though, she wasn't as affectionate yet, only with you. And the only reason you saw that she wanted you as more than a friend was after a really good show for her, she pulled you into a deep kiss, surprising you, and the others. They'd never seen Sunshine interact this way - and they certainly had never thought of her and their little tech crew-member.

But from there-on-out, you'd agreed to be hers, the biggest fan the minor ghoulette has ever had, though sadly there were not many.

Tonight though, a show in the states, New York specifically. It was a big place, filled with a large population and a variety of unique minds - those of which gathered to watch the ghouls play. And played they did.

But you stood watching them from backstage, a mortified expression on your face. You'd heard one of Dewdrop's strings drop out of tune, luckily right at the end of the song but you still felt your heart drop, watching him scoff before tuning it in between songs.

You felt horrible. Sure, it wasn't your fault that it had dropped out of tune, but it felt like your fault. Especially with the way he glanced over to you while you stood there, now chewing at your fingernails while your heart pounded.

This was it. Your first big mistake. And hopefully your last. You couldn't be making stupid mistakes, the possibility of the strings not being wound tight enough to stay tuned could be your first and last straw to pull. You knew Papa and Sister Imperator weren't too harsh on their employees, but this was a live show, with hundreds on hundreds of people, watching for their entertainment, not to see the lead guitarist tune his guitar because the lead techie backstage was an idiot.

Lucky for you, the rest of the show flowed smoothly. You let an exhale as the ghouls filed off the stage, coming all towards you. And of course, Sunshine was the first to skip her way backstage and throwing her arms around you, planting kisses all over your lips.

The other ghouls ignored it, other than the ghoulettes who giggled and joined the hugging. But, someone interrupted, not the happiest camper. And he made the air around you start heating. If you looked hard enough, you could probably see the air around him swirl and swivel, hot as ever.

With a clearing of his throat, your attention turned to Sodo, an unamused look to his face.

"What was that back there?" he asked, throwing his hands up in a questioning stance.

You bowed your head before looking back up to him, "I'm sorry, Sodo. Here, give me your guitar, I'll fix the strings. I don't know why one would fall out of tune."

"I think I can look over my guitar myself. At least I know it won't be sabotaged," he snarled, stepping back while clutching the neck of his guitar.

Sunshine huffed out a sharp breath, "Shut it Dewy, without Y/n, we'd be lost."

"I'm sure she could be easily replaced."

"You're being a huge dick right now! Do you ever learn to be nice?!" Sunshine exclaimed, stopping everyone in their tracks. Nobody had ever heard her cuss. And nobody had ever heard her raise her voice.

You reached for her arm and she instantly put it around you, pulling you away to a dressing room. The door was then slammed and locked with a dangerous push of her hand.

Your lover held you against her chest, not purring but growling softly. She was mad, and you'd never thought you ever see your happy sunshine mad. It was a bit scary, knowing your sweetest girl could get that mad for you. But your heart softened.

You took off her mask, setting it down to look into her intensely glowing eyes. They were puffy, like she'd been about to cry. You felt even worse, making her upset without even meaning to. You raked your fingers through her fluffy hair, "Sunny, what's wrong?"

"He shouldn't talk to you like that. Ever. Nobody could replace you - nobody. I just got so mad, I'm so sorry.."

You ran your hands over her cheeks, pulling her to rest her forehead against yours, "I'm alright, Sunshine. And I will always be alright cause I have you."

Pulling her into a kiss, your lips locked instantly with a spark of passion.

[mybelovedwoo]

in which you have a sleepover at the dorm

~ wooyoung x f!reader

~ fluff, established relationship / wc: 1k

~ warnings: arguing, mention of food

~ note: This one has a little reference to this story. I'm still trying to upload a story once a week, but from now on it might not work out, because I have a lot of school work for Uni, so I can't promise anything. Please be patient with me:)

You couldn't be more excited when your boyfriend asked you if you want to have a sleepover at their dorm tonight. Of course, you said yes, you loved spending time with him more than anything, and also you loved being in their dorm, spending time with the boys. It was really comforting to you that there is never a quiet moment there, and you never felt alone or left out.

But don't forget that after all, it is an all-boy dorm with 8 not-so-grown men, so you always have to prepare yourself in advance to be able to handle all of them. 

Wooyoung wanted you to sleep over because it's that time of the year again when you barely see each other. He works all day, every day, and for you started again, and your professors don't spare you with all those homework and assignments. So it's convenient if you rather spend the night together if you don't have any time during the day. And it's just a bonus that you got seven other friends hanging around with you. 

So here you are sitting in their living room on their couch, trying to process what's happening. Half an hour ago Hongjoong asked a simple question, what should we eat for dinner, and here we are Mingi and Wooyoung almost physically fighting over food. Some members agree with Wooyoung and some with Mingi. 

You've been thinking about saying something for the past ten minutes, but you rather stay quiet just like Yeosang, he is just so unbothered, you wish you were just like him.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!! We should order pizza because everyone likes it. Why is it so hard to think about others too?" Wooyoung shouted at Hongjoong, who tried to protect Mingi, whose point was to order some Korean meal, that you never tried before. You know it's just a silly misunderstanding, but both of them are really stubborn, so you decided to finally say something.

"I don't mind trying something new, I already love the meals you cook for me." Now everybody's eyes were on you. Your boyfriend's was a bit disappointed, he thought you were gonna be with him in this argument, but he knew all he wanted was for you to be good. 

"Then it's decided" said San, who was already about to order, because everyone was super hungry.

"Now that we have a result, you should make up" Seonghwa told them. And they did, it wasn't a big of a deal for them, just a little argument, it happens almost every day. But your boyfriend is still pouty when the food arrives.

-

After everyone finished eating Seonghwa was the first one to leave the table, so he can start to clean up, you immediately went after him to help, you hated to admit it, but you kinda enjoyed cleaning.

When you left Jongho took the opportunity to tell Wooyoung what he wanted to say, but he doesn't want it in front of you, so you don't get uncomfortable. 

"I want to remind you that you share a bedroom with two other people, so please behave yourself for the night." It was more of a warning that a reminder. Jongho, Yeosang, and Wooyoung shared a room at the dorm, that's the main reason you rather sleep at your place than his. 

Wooyoung's face got flushed and all he said was " seriously", he turned around to make sure you couldn't hear it.

 All Seonghwa and you could hear is them laughing really loud. You just had a serious conversation about star wars because you knew he loves it just as much as you, so of course, you bring it up every time you could. It's a regular topic between you, besides you both love girl groups, that's the other one, every time one of you learns a new dance you show the other. That's the special bond between you.

After everything was cleaned up, you found Yunho and San on the couch playing with some video game. You quickly sat down next to them and watched them play, you enjoyed watching them play. Your popped up and sat next to you. He seemed really annoyed by you enjoying watching the boys play.

"Why do you annoy me every time I play and enjoy them playing?" he crossed his arms in front of himself and pouted. He truly looked like a little kid, who can't get a toy at the store.

"Because I enjoy annoying you more" I told him giving a little peck on his pouty lips. It seems like he liked your answer, he knows it very well this annoying comes with love because this is exactly what he does every time.

-

Most of the boys already went to bed, and you were getting ready for bed too. So you are washing up in the bathroom when your boyfriend is knocking on the door. You told him quietly to come in, you didn't want to wake up anybody.

"You left your hairband in the room" as soon as you took a look at him you smiled slightly. He put your fluffy hairband on. It looked adorable on him with his little button-up pajamas. "Thought you don't want your hair to get wet."

"Thank you, but I'm already finished" you told him honestly.

"Then can I use it? I think it suits me very well, I should get one too, don't you think?" he would never admit it, but he loved matching with you. Once he purposely bought matching outfits for you for Christmas, but the boys teased him for how whipped he is for you for weeks, so he learned his lessons every since.

"You can keep it, I have another one at home" I didn't see him this happy in a long time, seriously such a child, I love him so much. 

He didn't want to take it off even for the night, so he slept with it on. You told him that it was going to be uncomfortable, but he refused to listen to you as per usual. But when you woke up it was nowhere to be found, he somehow managed to take it off while sleeping and you never find it again.

You noticed it during your usual morning cuddle session, so it was shorter than ever for Jongho and Yeosang's pleasure, they woke up because Wooyoung cannot whisper for god sake and they woke up to your lovey-dovey scene that they hated.

okay so I’ll give you the run down quick/an update of the new chapter;

Gotten through the boys losin their shit, just woke up, and Thunderclash verified everything that Ratch and ‘Aid put down. Roddy, Smoke and Sea are doing stuff with Hot Spot, not really heard from atm. So now they’re just kinda existing, Rose is hesitant and quiet, and Snow is blearily sipping away at the Med-Grade, still tired from just waking up, and I’m not really sure where to go from there.

Any ideas or anything in specific you want me to fit in? In need of a little boost/push in the right direction. Hope you don’t mind. 😅

You know, you don't have to send me an Ask if you want to talk about your story with me. My Messages are also always open for you. :3

Also, when have I ever minded getting to talk about my boys? XD

---

Well, I might only have small ideas, to be honest.

-

Rose would pretty much be on edge the whole time. No matter how nice everyone was yesterday, waking up in the medi-bay and realizing that, yep, it wasn't a dream and they're still on the Lost Light, wouldn't help his distrust towards new people. Especially if they resemble some of their former crew members.

Snow, on the other hand, might be more open towards others, after he fully woke up.

What you could add is a small 'break out' scene. Rose knows how to get out of handcuffs. It's a skill he learned for fun and then because he needed to know how to get out of them. So, he would probably try to break out and sneak out of the medi-bay. Most likely through the vents. Why he's sneaking out, I don't know. Maybe he wants to find a way off the ship, maybe he wants to see how everything is. 

Either way, Rose would probably drag Snow with him. And considering how Rose woke up faster than his brother, Snow probably isn’t doing as good as him health wise. Which could lead to a small chase around the ship, because both of them still aren’t over the hill. Especially Snow, and the medical staff wants them back in the medi-bay.

Maybe them breaking out of the Medi-bay and hiding somewhere on the ship, because Snow is feeling even more sick than before, could be a good chance for some brotherly bonding between them and Rodimus. Or any other crew member who stumbles upon them. 

But whoever finds them should watch out, because Rose’s protective nature is running wild with Snow not feeling good. 

Either way, I hope this helps you a little bit. ^^’

Sincerely

@wizardysseus tagged me to do my ten favorite movies. ty! 💕i've done top movie lists a couple of times and to be honest my picks never really change or become more interesting, so i put my own little spin on it and decided to do my ten favorite films that i either watched or rewatched in the past year. (ish. i wasn't super strict about if it was exactly within the last 12 months.)

in no particular order...

ten favorite movies i watched within the last year

1. a girl walks home alone at night (2014): as one or two of you may have noticed, i got really into iwtv last year, and so i decided to expand my horizons and make an effort to watch more vampire films to get more familiar with the genre/lore. this was the first film i watched and it was a great introduction. the visuals and music were captivating. skater vampire girl you will forever be in my heart.

2. let the right one in (2008): this one has been on my to watch list for ages, and i finally got around to it thanks to my vampire kick. i have to say it did not disappoint. the story, the cinematography, the performances... all were top tier. the bond between the two leads was fascinating, and it's a great monstrous love story.

3. tàr (2022): i hadn't planned on seeing this one - i find cate blanchett tiresome a lot of the time (still defending woody allen in the year of our lord 2018!) - but i heard some pretty rave reviews by folks whose opinions i generally agree with, so i decided to give it a try. and i think it had a very fascinating script. i really appreciate a story with a lot of ambiguity to it, where you can have several strong interpretations of what's happening that are rooted in the text, and this film definitely has that in spades.

4. nope (2022): the fact this got no love during award season has me scratching my head. while it's not my favorite jordan peele project, the story was very fresh and keke palmer in particular i thought gave a really stellar performance. my main hang-up was with the monster... the non spoiler version being i just found some aspects of it didn't really work for me. but it was still a very solid film.

5. blade runner (1982): i watched this with some co-workers at the place i interned for the summer; we got a giant projector and got to watch it after-hours at the library where we we working and basically take up half a floor with snacks and such. so part of my enjoyment just comes from the fact it's linked in my mind to a nice day that i had. but as a sci-fi fan it was neat to see something so influential to the genre and see how much it had been drawn on. the treatment of the female characters left much to be desired lol, but the grimy future visuals were great, and i can see why it became so iconic.

6. the batman (2022): a superhero movie with actual cinematography, memorable performances, and a killer soundtrack? in this economy??? obviously i'm biased, i'm a huge batman fan and i enjoy robert pattinson, so i'm not exactly the hardest audience member to win over. but there have been so many terrible superhero movies in the past several years, and so seeing one that felt like an actual noir detective story and not just a bunch of quips in front of a greenscreen was a relief. the cast was great, and as a batcat fan it was really great to feel like i was actually being catered to with all focus on their relationship both in the film and all the promotional stuff like the photo-shoots and such. not normally the case in this genre lol.

7. everything everywhere all at once (2022): i don't know that i have anything to say about this movie that hasn't already been said better. it's fun, it's out of the box, michelle yeoh is a treasure, it does a lot with the multi-verse concept. i will say at times the film did feel a bit saccharine, particularly towards the end. ymmv when it comes to sappiness, but it overdid it for me. even so, it was a good time, and i'm very happy for attention it's brought michelle yeoh, who is so phenomenal.

8. turning red (2022): i watched this on a whim after seeing some folks online talking about it, and it was very cute. it reminded me a lot of what it was like to be a weird middle school girl. i don't really feel nostalgic for that part of my life at all, but this did have me thinking of my past self with some affection.

9. coded bias (2020): i believe i watched this after a discussion in a grad school class about racial bias in ai/algorithms. i enjoy a good documentary and found the film quite interesting and informative.

10. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004): this one is one of my all-time favorites. i watched it again not long ago and it really holds up. i love non-linear storytelling and playing with the subjective/fallibility of memory, so this film is really just right in my wheelhouse. thanks to sailor moon, i also am obsessed with stories about whether the same people will fall in love again if they don't have their memories, so again. like catnip to me. the circular nature of the story, the way love is futile in this never ending circular story but still worth fighting for. i will be thinking about this one forever

[thetaekookcloset]

Hi! I’m relatively new to the Army, seeing something about taekook on tiktok is actually what brought me in a few months ago, and catching up on everything from the beginning has been fun. However I’m getting tired of the hate tkkrs get. I’ve never seen this much hate thrown at a group of shippers before in any of the fandoms I’ve been in. I’ve notice it’s only tkkrs who get a lot of hate but not any of the other ships, at least from what I’ve seen. Why is that, if you could provide some insight? I don’t mind other ships, and I find any interaction between any of the members cute, I just find there’s something more to JK and Tae’s interactions compared to the others. Yet appreciating their bond and thinking there might be something more between them somehow makes us a cult? I don’t see why it’s wrong to ship them but perfectly okay to ship JK with someone else or Tae with another member. I try and ignore the hate but I’ve been seeing it happening more and more lately and it’s just kind of disheartening to see. I just want to enjoy JK and Tae’s interactions without people coming for our throats for even uttering the word taekook. Sorry this turned more into a rant than an ask lol

Don't apologize!  What is a space like this good for if not commiserating lol.  It's definitely frustrating to constantly see insults hurled at literally everyone who even enjoys Taehyung and Jungkook as individual members, let alone someone who thinks they're cute together or God forbid thinks there might actually be something going on between them.

That's one thing that's so weird about the Taekooker hate: even amongst Taekookers ourselves, it's not like we all see things exactly the same way, so the cult accusations seem particularly off base. There are probably plenty of people who ship TK who would think I'm bananas for believing they might actually be in a relationship, for example. Plus it’s not like people don’t ship the members with all manner of people based on far, far fewer interactions.

As for why there's so much vitriol, I think there are a few factors.  One is just that I think there are a lot of us.  Like, if we set aside the fact that we do all have our own opinions on TK, and just look at us all as Taekookers with no further distinctions, there are just so, so many of us -- this ship is one of the most popular, currently, I would say, and probably the single most popular real-person ship, if I had to guess.  So that sort of makes us an easy target, if for no other reason than we're extremely visible.

Add to that the fact that there are some Taekookers who are pretty obnoxious and I think you've got a big part of your answer.  Obviously, Taekookers hardly have a monopoly on being annoying, and there are way more of us who aren't annoying than those who are, but because there are so many of us, the number of annoying people is higher, and they can be a vocal minority.

But why people feel the need to generalize everyone all together, why to so many people (even other shippers lmao) Taekookers are inherently delusional and all of our ideas are built on wishful thinking and childish fantasy and pure stupidity?  That I honestly don't know.  People have a superiority complex, I guess?  Maybe it's as simple as that.

They don't see what we see, and from their perspective, not only is there no reason to see what we see, there are lots of reasons to specifically not see it.  So rather than look any more deeply than that, they decide that we just think Jungkook and Taehyung are hot and want to imagine them together.

I imagine a lot of them take all the implications of the ITS conversation at face value and treat their interpretation of Taehyung's "get out of your imagination" comment as gospel (both of which I think pretty much fall apart with a little bit of critical thinking, but that's fine), and once those blocks are up, they just can't see past them.  Then from their point of view, shippers are everywhere, making ~everything about shipping~ all the time, and it annoys them so they lash out to give themselves a little dopamine.

It sucks but I imagine it's that simple really.

[hensunrik]

Do you think Michael and Charles would get along if they knew each other in present?

You mean in today's timeline and not a different hypothetical where they might have been teammates or a dynamic like that yeah?

Because (and keeping in mind that I don't think it's always a straightforward answer because drivers are at the end of the day humans and they have their own biases and favorites and egos - take this to be factually stated than in a derogatory manner since it's normal for them to be fostered in such a highly competitive and prestigious environment), but factoring everything in, I do actually believe they would have had a good relationship yes.

I feel like sometimes in f1 circles we tend to speak more about michael's war crimes and attitudes on track or regarding his competitors and not nearly enough about how truly special and strong the bond he had with every last team member was, the way he spoke of ferrari and how the mechanics still speak of him and the warm atmosphere he would create with the utmost affection to this day, how he would care for the little guy, that he would walk with them on the trackside to ask about their families and make them feel included, how he is both a myth yes but also just one of them and one with them - truly one of the guys-, the way he said "When you are part of a community for 14 years, it inevitably shapes you. I will always have a part of Ferrari beside me; a part of my heart will always be red."

And at the same time there is no one else who would ever be in a more prime position to truly understand the internal challenges that are quite frankly (and a bit embarrassingly) an integral part of the team, the way he himself chose this instead of easier paths that were available and wide open to him as a two time champion, so truthfully and while I'm no schumologist I know we would never see anything remotely close to the absolute braindead takes some pundits toss out into the wind like farts these days (obligatory ralf is an idiot interjection here because I haven't said it in a while and because I can)

So at the end of the day while we the tifosi would all agree that this bond is irreplicable and irreplaceable (and also there are quite a few differences namely the most important being the way each of them entered the team which ends up shaping completely different dynamics) there are definitely echoes of it in the way charles has brought this team together around him, in the way he genuinely truly believes in them and they believe in him in return, in the way you can see his dedication and hard work but also the way he speaks of them, the way he protects them, the way he never shirks personal responsibility and has committed to self improvement and how you can still see him growing into this leadership role, which is the promise of a future. And I think this more than anything has earned him a lot of credit not only amidst the tifosi but also the team higher-ups, ex drivers and figureheads like jean alesi, and I have also seen former ferrari engineers acknowledge it (I'm a disorganized mess and I never save anything so this is the one I have but if anyone sees this and wants to send me more to archive feel free)

There was also this whole rhubarb a couple of months ago about charles' admissability of mistakes being a weakness which was compared to michael (another can of worms that I will not open now but there is this tendency of pundits to completely conflate publicity statements and press releases to how drivers work within teams and very erroneously at that because michael was infamously much more self critical when the mics were off). In my opinion takes like this are a total miss on the difference between two completely different eras and team mentalities, where with this team and this era of racing in general the priority is not to project an air of invincibility, of inviolable confidence and intimidation as you would see from f1 20 years ago but more of hard work through accountability, acknowledgement of errors and building on that towards genuine improvement, all with the final goal of victory via learning, via honing skills and via achieving the perfect synergy as a team. I think this is a genuinely better way of doing things, or at the very least a way that fits who charles is as a driver and the team he is building around him much better and that he should stand his ground and stick to it and I do very strongly believe that michael would have said the same.

So tldr; while I am obviously not a mind reader, for all the reasons above and seeing the general wave of promise and good will charles has inspired around everyone close to ferrari regarding its future I cannot see them have a bad relationship. The one issue which I usually see negatively influencing punditry not only regarding ferrari but f1 in general is, hilariously, often their own personal hangups and self projection issues (hello damon hill, hello jacques villeneuve, hello nico even, I love you but these still are public therapy sessions you are airing in broadcast for free my man :')) and for all the problems that have plagued ferrari in the past decade (rip) there is nothing about what charles has been doing that anyone in their right mind and michael first of all would consider either a threat or an affront to his legacy,, I dare say it is in fact quite the opposite.

#I often get a bit cynical here cause I am tired of doing this every year..I wanna rest.... #but thinking about this truly got me emotional ah if only michael was here :( you know #oh also I didn't say anything about charles' side of this but I feel like that's self explanatory right dkjhdkjdh #there are probably some typos or grammar errors in this cause I typed it super fast please turn a polite eye away #📧.txt

tommy's character gets far too much shit.

hi tumblr. i'm gonna need a few bitches to spread this post everywhere, essentially because i want someone, or just tommy really, to see it. so if you really want, you can screenshot it and post it on twitter, reddit, link it everywhere - go absolutely buck wild. i know he reads the VODS comments a lot, but they're chock full of people just insulting him, his character, his writing and everything about his story in the dream smp simply because they don't understand it and because they refuse to acknowledge his character's perspective (mainly because they only care about the pig). reading that many critical comments on something you've created can only make you feel worse about it eventually, and in light of all the awful techno apologist takes on his character, i wanted to basically just word vomit about how wonderfully crafted c!tommy is, as well as compile some other tumblr posts about his character.

there is a massive fuckin community of people who enjoy the character of tommy, because the character is incredible. i myself have made post after post after post commenting on and analysing tommy's character because i find that there's so much to pick apart. but that enthusiasm for his character only seems to be found on tumblr. reddit and twitter seem to hate his character, the VODS seem to be filled with comments from people who only care about techno's perspective (and treat techno as a reliable narrator, which, is the furthest thing from the truth - that guy lies through his teeth all the time), and the smp wiki is a hellscape of godawful takes and mistruths, not even on just tommy's character.

c!tommy is brilliantly acted and brilliantly written, and almost everything he does is either justifiable or has been rectified or admitted as a mistake. you can clearly make connections as to where he got his conclusions from. you feel what his character experiences, as a member of the audience, vividly.

if you look in the more objective sense, c!tommy, and this is especially in the context of him being the youngest character, is a scapegoat. people claim he's awful and destructive when in reality he's a lot less destructive than most characters on the server. a moment that comes to mind is where he diverts schlatt and quackity's attention from pogtopia by breaking part of the flag in manberg, and then replacing it so as to buy tubbo some time - he literally monologues after it about how he doesn't want to destroy but instead rebuild, and how he feels as if nobody else seems to understand that.

his arc in season two was incredible. it was very character driven, and it gave a spotlight to his motivations. at the start we see him in new l'manberg, and he's enjoying his time there, he's skeptical of his friend's presidency, but his main goal is to get back the discs so that he can stop dream and eliminate that threat. he made one screw up that didn't even matter to george, and he paid for it tenfold, even after dream had spent a while with puffy griefing the server and framing it on tommy - what tommy and ranboo did was convinient. then, in exile, we see c!tommy straight up get abused. he's gaslit and conditioned into being c!dream's friend, and in his brain he teaches himself that those acts of abuse are moments of bonding, and it eventually brings him to the point of wanting to end his own life - he's been torn away from his friends and his support system, and nobody will visit him consistently anymore because they only showed him pity, and all he had left was dream, who had hurt him.

but he doesn't die there, because while he didn't understand the full gravity of it back then like he does now, he recognises that dying isn't an escape, and he can beat dream, even if he doesn't know how. so this is where he goes to techno's place, and here's where the fandom starts to misinterpret the situation wildly.

it's the problem similar to when your parents tell you that they're owed something back because you put a roof over their head, despite that being Not How It Works. techno took tommy in and severely mistreated him emotionally. sure, and i understand this, c!techno is a bad communicator who isn't really that empathetic to anyone who isn't phil or wilbur, but that doesn't excuse the blatant lying to c!tommy's face, the guilt tripping, the friendship buying and the degrading. the day before the festival, tommy finally does something violent in his interrogation of fundy, and only then does techno tell him,,,,

that tommy's not equal to him, that techno doesn't respect him all that much, and that they're not friends.

from techno's perspective, and at the time, this was viewed as a positive development in their relationship. oh, he's starting to warm up to tommy! this friendship could really blossom!

no. from a more objective standpoint, what techno has just said to tommy is : 'i respect you only a little bit more now, because while you're starting to act more like me, you're still annoying and a burden.'

and i haven't even touched on the whole 'erasing the words 'Destroy L'manberg' from techno's to-do list' thing, because that instantly refutes the point of 'techno was upfront with his intentions the whole time' - because he wasn't! he may have said it the first time, but you also know what else he did? he repeatedly told tommy that they'd 'air the details out later' whenever the discs were brought up, and from a tommy viewer's perspective at the time, it was framed as if techno was no longer going to do that.

and i also haven't dared touch the 'i would have fought them all for you', because that's major guilt tripping if ever i've seen it.

so, the day of the festival comes, and here's where c!techno and his apologists completely misread c!tommy's thought process, and why he makes the decision he does.

tommy instantly regrets valuing the discs over tubbo, and it's framed as the culmination of tommy having become all the people he said he would never want to be like. and what does he immediately do? he tells tubbo to give up the disc, and he sides with tubbo. he puts his value in his friends, and, by proxy, l'manberg. and when he betrays techno, he tells him 'i'm sorry'.

from a more objective standpoint, tommy's time with techno is him valuing the discs over almost anything else. so, in leaving techno to be with tubbo again, he is valuing people above the discs. so when, on doomsday, techno says his 'discs aren't people' line, what he doesn't realise is that he himself fueled tommy's valuing of discs above people when attempting to fuel tommy's vengeance against tubbo and l'manberg. techno doesn't realise that he was an unhealthy presence for tommy, and an even worse influence.

what techno also doesn't seem to understand is that tommy never hated tubbo or l'manberg - tommy recognises, now at least, that his exile wasn't a product of tubbo, but a product of dream's manipulation, likely in part because at the time, especially with dream lying about tommy blowing up the community house, tommy was the only one who could see it because he had experienced it firsthand. so when techno sides with dream, it's like kicking tommy in the teeth.

and i want to mention that betraying someone doesn't necessarily make the person who was betrayed good, or in the right, or even justified, because tommy was entirely justified to leave techno. you know who else was betrayed? schlatt. but i don't see many schlatt apologists around angry at quackity for joining the rebellion.

tommy stole the axe of peace? good. it was a moment of tommy defining his self-worth, instead of having it defined by others. gone is the age of c!techno belittling him and deciding how much c!tommy should be respected. NEXT!

here's a moment i wanted to talk about that will forever be funny to me.

'i am a person.'

techno's very famous line from doomsday. techno says to tommy that discs aren't people, and that tommy should value people, despite not understanding that by leaving techno, he did just that. and what does tommy say in return, which has been omitted from every c!tommy-critical analysis, and every animatic?

'yes you are, but so are we.'

an acknowledgement of techno's hurt, to which tommy has already apologised for. a statement that says 'your hurt does not excuse, nor justify, the hurt you have inflicted onto us.' an acknowledgement that tommy has already learnt the lesson techno seems to be trying to 'teach' him. but you can't teach him anything by destroying.

c!tommy has had almost everything he has ever owned or built either taken from him or destroyed. ranboo even points out that the only two things of tommy's left standing are his house and his hotel, and if i'm honest, his house is dissheveled. it's a labyrinth of terror due only to how many times it's been torn apart. l'manberg being blown up didn't teach anyone anything about anarchy, or about valuing people over possessions. logstedshire being blown up didn't teach tommy to be obedient.

i could honestly ramble for ages about how nuanced tommy's character is and how much depth and complexity there is to his character's process and his relationship with others, but more than that, c!tommy is forgiving. he invites almost everyone who hates him to the grand opening of his hotel - if that isn't an indicator that he just wants friends, and not to be treated like the embodiment of evil, then i don't know what is. he holds grudges, but he doesn't really actively hate anyone, other than c!dream. but, we'll let him. c!dream deserves nothing but to be pummeled into the floor.

tommy doesn't spoonfeed his character nuance, and he doesn't really spell it out for his audience. he'll mention things like trauma and triggers in passing, but a lot of analysis on his motivations has to be picked up from what is said in passing or from what can be seen in between the lines.

i'd be here for hours if i were to talk about everything i love about c!tommy, because honestly he's one of my favourite characters, and there are so many angles you can look at his character from in terms of his age, his relationships with others, his motivations, his personality, his character arcs etc etc. so instead of doing that, i'm going to compile some much more specific analysis posts below to skim through because they highlight so many good aspects of his character.

^^ A thread about the 'yes you are, but so are we' line.

^^ About how shit the VODS comments are.

^^ A comment on how c!Tommy is actually pretty peaceful, and is actually less destructive than most characters on the server.

^^ Possibly the best c!Tommy analysis thread I've ever seen in relation to his trauma, which gives multiple perspectives.

^^ About how c!Tommy is treated as a scapegoat, and how, from an objective standpoint, he is no more violent than any other character, it's just that the little violence that is committed is blown far out of proportion.

^^ Tumblr user flypaw being a bad bitch, as per usual.

^^ c!Tommy being incredibly intelligent, and talking about wanting to rebuild and not destroy. A very underrated monologue of his.

^^ Something short about c!Tommy and c!Wilbur's relationship in Pogtopia.

^^ Less about c!Tommy, more a meta on L'Manberg. Really interesting to think about.

^^ A take on Doomsday.

I'll add some more posts in a reblog in the notes, but if anyone's post(s) is on this and they want me to take it off, let me know and I'll do that for you! Feel free to add your own banger c!Tommy takes or ones that you've found.

SCP 035 - Possessive Mask (New Character)

Main Masterlist | SCP Scenarios Masterlist | My Works Masterlist | Rules | Request | Socials | My Original Post

First Encounter You first met the mask during a containment breach on your first day there. Well, you were barely there for a day, only for a couple of hours. Luckily the staffs managed to get everything sorted in just a few hours but during these few hours, you've encountered several SCPs, one being 035. The mask had possessed a D-Class cuz he was just there and you both started to bond during the short period of time you both had. After the breach, whenever either of you would be doing tests and interviews, you'd request them to allow you and 035 to meet up which made the researchers more curious about both your relationships in the foundation.

Your Feelings for Him It wasn't hard for 035 to charm his way into your heart like many playboys. However, he seemed to have a special fondness towards you and would always attempt to flirt with you like no other. You'd always get flustered and would try to flirt back, but instead, you'd stumble on your words which made you even redder. On a bright sunny day, you were talking to Cain and he noticed how fondly you speak about that mask. He asked if you had feelings for 035 to which you blushed slightly and stuttered. This made Cain giggle and he encouraged you to start a relationship with 035.

His Confession 035 wasn't stupid. He noticed your change in behaviour and he has noticed how his heart would beat every time he went near you or even thought of you. Of course, when he decided to pay 049 a visit, he too noticed strange behaviour, but within then possessed man. "Perhaps you'd like to ask her out" the doctor offered kindly as he continued to operate in the dead woman. "I would, but..." he replied. "But? Yesterday I saw a man being too friendly with her. I'd suggest you catch her before she's taken" 049 spoke with such a friendly tone to which 035 stormed out of the door to find you. "(Y/N)!!!!!!" you hear 035 shouts. You were just about to finish your conversation with Cain as you heard him. "Yes?" you replied with a curious tone. "I'd like you to become mine!!!" he spoke quickly and you were shocked and looked at Cain. "Go for it tiger" Cain spoke and gave you a wink as he left. Cain was like a dad to you so you'd always go to him for advice when you needed it. You obviously said yes to 035 and you be an to have mini dates here and there, even during containment breaches. That obviously meant that Cain would lecture you on how dangerous that was and you'd never listen like the stubborn child you are.

Date As mentioned above, you'd be having mini-dates here and there. By mini-dates, I mean like those cliche ones which made everyone cringe. Even the researchers were so done with this bug it's not like they could anything about it. Besides, this was a good thing because 035 became more cooperative when he started to date you. However, that didn't mean that 035 wouldn't stop being possessive towards you and manipulative when being spoken to in a test. During containment breaches, 035 would take you on a tour and just relax in just about every other room you'd encounter. Cain would lecture you and give 035 a warning stare which made him laugh and you somewhat terrified.

When he's jealous Whenever 035 gets jealous, he'd be possessive and mad at the same time which was rather cute. This was evident when he saw a guy being handsy on you which made him stomp up towards you and pull you to his side. 035 gave the man a glare as the man replied, "whoa, no need to look at me like that, it's not my fault that you left such a gentle soul alone", which angered him even more. 035 attacked the guy which left him all bruised up as you just stood there in surprise. They don't call 035 the possessive mask for no reason.

When there's a containment breach Whenever there's a containment breach, the first thing the both of you would do is to find each other. Then after that, you'd both just sit and relax while you ate popcorn during your entertainment. Most of the time, 035 would cause the breach just to see you, even though you both see each other on a daily basis. He misses you and doesn't want to be separated so he'd go out of his way just to stay with you a little longer. The breaches would only last a few hours to a couple of days, not as you'd mind anyways. You were having so much fun with 035 as you'd pounce from room to room. 682 even mentioned to the researchers how annoying you both were to which they surprisingly agreed about 1 thing for once.

Yandere!SCP 035 Yandere!035 wouldn't be too much of a difference from his usual self, but he'd be a tad bit more possessive, angry and violent. Like that one time when a guy was trying to flirt with you and 035 just so happened to be there and punched the man in the guts so hard he vomited blood for days. After that, he took you to his chambers and tied you up until whenever he was done thinking about ridiculous scenarios. Cain noticed something was off between the both of you and soon found out that 035 was such a Yandere. He tried to warn you about the toxic relationship in which you refused to get out of so Cain would warn the other researchers about this. They did take notice, however, that made it worse since 035 caught on quickly and became more secretive about this. The downside to this is that you're so used to this to the point you'd find pleasure in it.

How he reacts to his angry!S/O 035 would think that you're hot and cute whenever you're angry. That would change when the one who's causing you to be angry is him. One time, he said the wrong thing during the wrong time which of course angered you so much to the point you could explode and go on a rampage, which unfortunately leads to a containment breach. Scientists could see you chasing 035 with a broomstick (Yes don't judge 😂) as he ran down the hallway with such a look a child would have when his mother would beat him for doing something terrible. And of course, he did do something wrong. After the whole breach has been cleared, word had spread like wildfire and everyone giggled. 035 never tried to anger you ever again.

When someone tries to steal you away from him Stealing you away from 035 is hard since he's always with you and has an arm around you at all times. However, some guy managed to lure you away from 035 and tried to use a special tactic to get you to fall for him. Of course, that didn't work since you've been around 035 long enough for you to know when someone is manipulating you and you obviously know how to uno reverse someone. 035 and other members of the facility could hear a mans cry and began to look. And yes, you were beating the living daylights out of the man for doing such a thing and 035 was proud of you.

Warnings: Mentions of death , A/B/O dynamics

Chapter 3: Leave a light on

Bucky and Steve packed a suitcase of supplies, they both knew it was a race against time at this point. Her body would become weak without the pheromones of an alpha, her changing hormones wouldn't be able to adapt for her body's transition into her designation. Her own body would become her worst enemy right now, and if they didn't make it in time she could die in a pool of her own slick and sweat as her body struggled to accommodate the change.

That was one of the reasons omegas became so rare! Over the course of thousands of years their bodies began to change.Even with an alpha, sometimes the transition was too much on their bodies! Not many would make it. The omega’s that did were meant to be the strongest women the packs had to offer, their wombs strong , healthy, and ready to accommodate an alpha.

There was an old wives tale that would travel around the packs about a perfect mate, a bond so strong that would turn two souls and bodies into one. Soul that have been meant to be together since the beginning of time, like a puzzle piece waiting for it’s perfect match .Always calling for each other! One way or another prevailing.

People stopped believing in those kinds of stories a long time ago!

“Steve,Is that everything?” Bucky was loading up the bags into the truck. His mother and Katerina had headed back to the cabin, hoping to get a head start and try to explain to her what would be going on. I believe so! We still don't know what we're walking into… Steve furrowed his brow with his hand. His free hand on his lower back. “Hell Buck! I don't even know what i'm supposed to do! Hey I'm Steve, you don't know me but i'm here to take you away from everything you've ever known… also I kinda have to mate with you to save your life.``

“I know it doesn't sound like the best plan! But it's all we can do right now.” Bucky wanted to reassure his friend, tell him it was all going to be alright. Deep down he himself was feeling uneasy. He wanted to crawl out of his skin. Why did their nature have to be like this? He felt like they were not that evolved from animals when it came to heats. She was probably scared, he wanted to reassure his friend that she would be okay with him.

Bucky remembered leaving her all those years ago. It broke his heart! Deep down Bucky didn't even want to see her. He couldn't live with the look of disappointment she'd give him. Or worse what if she wasn't disappointed, what if it was like the years didn't go by between them. How could he handle seeing her gentle eyes, knowing he couldn't return the same look back.

It wasn't even a question anymore! Any dream involving her he's had for the past ten years had to be thrown away! He had to forget her smile, her laugh, her smell! She was never meant to be his and now more than ever he had to put his pack first.

Bucky gave Steve a reassuring smile and motioned to the truck, they were losing daylight and they both had a long night ahead of them. Both lost within their own thoughts!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She felt like she was being torn apart!

Yes, she's had some bad cramps during her cycle, but this pain was different! If felt like she was being completely ripped apart from the inside. She felt weak and both terribly hot and freezing at the same time.

She had this strong feeling to just stay in bed at the back of her mind, but she just couldn't let herself waste away in bed waiting for her mother. Her mom had called winifred after this morning, within the hour they were both gone! They said they'd be back my sundown with some supplies and someone who might help her. As the pain intensified she readied herself to go get some things that could help alleviate her. She remembered her mom taught her this recipe with mint, nuts, and berries, back when she had first gotten her period; many years ago. Sometimes when she was out fishing or hunting and she felt her body start to feel strange, she'd look for those, and boil some water for a tea. It provided instant relief for her, and she'd go back to her day like nothing happened.

Gathering the strength and courage; she walked out of the comfort of her cabin for a quick trip to get those three things. If only she could just have that tea ready, it would make the time waiting for her mom to get back bearable.She knew the woods like the back of her hand, she'd done it countless times where she knew where everything would be.

As she trekked further and further into the woods! She remembered she'd spotted a new mint bush a few days ago, with the old one in the opposite direction she decided to just to just go with her memory and find that one.

Even though she knew these woods by heart, her pounding head and aching body made it a struggle for her focus long enough to orient herself.

She stopped to catch her breath and suddenly felt aware of the heat taking over her body. In the distance, the sounds of the running current of the creek, screamed for her to just get in to find some relief. All she wanted was just to dip her feet in and feel the water run beneath her feet.

The icy water prickled through her skin and it showed her more than the heat did, eventually her body and mind relaxed and she just closed her eyes for what felt like two seconds.

Suddenly the floor beneath was overtaken by a current, she was too weak to swim or fight .So she just let the current run its course; dragging along her weakened body.

In just an instant! She was harshly dragged away from the little bit of forest she knew!

She woke up hours later in the darkness!

The current had dumped her near the bank.

She could tell it was still territory, but it was all unknown and new to her. She definitely did not have the strength to follow the stream, so with what little strength she had, she started a fire! She laid down next to it hoping that morning would come soon, and give her the strength she needed to return home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When they exited the car they could smell her, but it was lingering and faded. Bucky’s senses were on fire! That smell drove him insane. It awoke every muscle in his being, he’s partially glad that it wasn’t fully her, just the lingering trace of her scent.

He couldn’t do that to Steve. He had to mask his face, pretend she didn’t smell like air after you’ve been holding your breath for ten years.

“Where is she ?” Steve was worried, not only was this his omega, but she was a part of his pack now. His Alpha nature led him to worry about her, even if he didn't fully know her or understood her yet.

All Steve knew is that he felt drawn to her! He needed to protect her and care for her! Seeing the small cabin was like a punch to his gut! He couldn't believe that there were people in his pack living like this.

The roof needed work, the inside was just enough to be considered cozy, but not comfortable!. It was all patched together! He understood that it was the best that they could do with the circumstances, but his heart was swelling with pride at the idea of bringing his omega to his home. For her to finally know comfort, and not want for anything, he'd take better care of her than his own self. Her smell told him everything he needed to know about her, it was like she was made for him, and he was made for her,

Steve looked to Katerina and back to Bucky.

He couldn't understand how this place had been here for such a long time without him knowing about it, Steve remembered his dad's cruel nature. It wasn't beneath him to cast out a pregnant woman to fend for herself, but why hasn't she tried coming back once his father had died. Steve would have let them back! He knew why she was scared and distrustful of him. He probably reminded her of the person who took her life from her.

As the sky grew darker it became impeccably evident that something had gone terribly wrong. Bucky knew it! He had a bad feeling sinking at the pit of his stomach. No experienced hunter, like herself would be out past sundown. The woods become too dangerous and unforgiving even to experienced people.

Bucky taught her to know the woods. She could track.! If she’s out there she’s probably injured and in a bad situation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“ Clint, Nat, you guys will take the northern side of the river, there's a lot of territory there so I trust you guys will be okay as a team!,” Steve was guiding them to a spot marked on the map, he drew a circle through the section with with finger the over caressing his chin in thought.

“Tony, you will cover the west end on the river… over by this side” Bucky said over Steves planning and was pointing Tony to his designated research area.

Bucky and Steve had gone into a full missing persons mission. They had mapped out the territory and had called the strongest members of the pack. Most of them were a part of the packs defense team. They were all loyal to Steve and led by Bucky as the commander of the pack's small army.

Bucky’ s mind was not at the best place! He was slowly becoming more feral with desperation. “What if an outsider smelled her and crossed territories?” The thought was just too dangerous to entertain and Bucky kept going!

After hours of searching, the search party grew cold, hungry, and tired! Steve was called off the search party as the weather grew harsher, he was worried about his pack. They had families to tend to, and needed rest.

Steve was going in by himself, and Bucky wasn’t about to let his best friend do it alone. Going in just by themselves would be a risk, but they both knew how strong they had to be! They could rest later! She was all that mattered right now!

He wouldn’t stop searching till he had turned every rock on the territory! Every little corner if this damn reserve would be searched! He would find his ... Steve’s mega.

Bucky was the best tracker in his pack and even neighboring packs. If anyone needed anybody or anything found, Bucky was the best in the business. He was strong, determined, and could be ruthless with deserters who would try to run away from the pack after stealing or injuring a member!. Nobody had made it past the territory without Bucky catching them first.

They called him the Winter Soldier! While others found the harsh temperatures, and unforgiving terrain hard to navigate and specially survive; Bucky seemed to read the wind and knew how to use the weather to his advantage. He was the best there was.

If he could not find her he might as well never find anybody else in his entire life. He count fail her. He needed her!...She needed him!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her whole body ached!

She couldn’t get up from this one. She knew she’d only survive a few hours, maybe a day or two without food, and in this weather. She just placed herself inside a hollow trunk, and cradled her body to preserve as much heat as possible. She was thankful that the fever was a bit of a heat source, but cursed at the cold chills it gave her. Soon her body relaxed and she wondered what death would feel like.

She thought of her life.

Her mom.

It hurt so much when she thought of him! As she thought of him, her heart was agonizing in longing, but her body was slowly responding. Her fever had subsided, and she tried stepping out of the trunk. She stumbled and lost her footing, but just as she was about to collapse near the now extinguished fire, she felt a pair of strong arms break her fall.

She thought she was probably dead now!

Looking at her, where the most piercing blue eyes she’d ever seen! His hair now at his shoulders, and a beard forming around his face. He looked different than her mind had imagined him all these years. She allowed herself to relax in his arms, and her eyes filled with tears as she passed out; surrounded by his smell , and waiting for this delusion to be over.

They said death had a way of making people feel comfort, and happiness before the light at the end. But this seemed so real! she wasn't scared of dying anymore, she was scared he wouldn't be there if she woke up again.

Looking over to your hands so close to the other, Taehyung smiles before wrapping his fingers tighter around yours, intertwining them in an unbreakable bond.

The action sends your heart flying and you snap your gaze to him. He notices your sudden change in demeanor and tries to cover it up by turning to the window.

"What?" he murmurs, his ears tinted pink. "You looked cold."

You can feel your face heating up and you refuse to let him see. You aren't some little fangirl fawning over her idol, not right now. At this moment, you are the lucky person who gets to be so close to someone she admires.

Right now, you want to be the random stranger who bumped into him.

Right now, you want him to see you for you, and you to see him for him.

“I’m sorry, but we’re nearing our destination, do you want to come in to get it or should I just go instead, sir?” Minhyuk asks, breaking the silence and Taehyung shakes his head slightly.

“What have I said about calling me, sir? It’s like having my father call me, mister or even worse, hyung. Please just call me Taehyung, Minhyuk.” He corrects him, and Minhyuk gives him a slightly condescending look in the rearview mirror.

“If you would just pull up in front, I’m sure they’ll give it to you so we should be fine,” Taehyung responds, and Minhyuk nods as he directs the car into much more steady traffic, nearing a market area. You don't recognize it, and as you stare out the window you don't think you’re anywhere near the apartment complex where you're staying. Biting your bottom lip a bit in anxiety, you look at Taehyung again.

He’s staring at the window, like you were, smiling faintly at the familiar sights and people roaming the streets beside you. Each one is busy, each one has their priorities, their life. Neither is the same, everyone is different from the rest. Much like the snowflakes which fall every winter. He enjoys the uniqueness of every single person, how they act, what they do. He finds it fascinating how some people can be so alike and yet so different.

Perhaps that's why he enjoys photographs so much. He’s able to capture those moments within a small photo. That, to him, is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

At your soft tap on his shoulder, he breaks his gaze away from the beauty of life before him and turns to you. He raises his eyebrows a bit in surprise, his mouth doing the slight downturn that it has always done whenever he is confused or curious.

“What is it?” he asks, tilting his head a bit as you look at him, pulling your hand off his shoulder. A bit nervous that Minhyuk would be offended at your question, you glance at him to make sure that he’s not paying attention. Once you’re sure, you beckon Taehyung to lean down a bit so that you can whisper in his ear. He does, but only a mere fraction of an inch.

You roll your eyes, beckoning with more ferocity, and he goes another inch to try and hear you. Letting out an exasperated sigh, you drop your hand and give him a look. He chuckles a bit before smiling and whispering sorry. Then he leans down….another fragment of an inch!

Tired of his shenanigans, you reach out and pull on the neck of his shirt fiercely, pressing your lips tightly together. He gags a bit but laughs once he’s in your safe space. At your look, however, he cuts himself off and coughs to chase his chuckles away.

“Okay, okay, okay I’m sorry. Now, what did you want to say?” he apologizes as though fearing for his life, and you have to hide your smirk before asking the question.

“Is Minhyuk going the right way?” you ask, softly. So softly that you’re not even sure if he heard you. He’s not sure of it either, and crinkles his brow a bit in amusement, not sure if he heard you right.

“I’m sorry, I didn't quite catch that last bit.” Your face falls at his comment and pouting a bit, you poke his cheek. He mouths an Ow and you roll your eyes before tugging on his ear a tiny bit. He dutifully leans his ear towards you, ignoring the slight shiver that runs down his spine as your breath tickles his eardrums, your lips mere inches away from it. You take a breath before continuing and repeating your question.

“Does Minhyuk know where to go? That is, is he going the right way?” as soon as you whisper the question, you pull back. He wears a pondering expression for a moment before registering your question and understanding what you were trying to ask. As he does, his eyes light up in a little aha moment and his mouth opens slightly. It quickly grows into a soft chuckle as he shakes his head and nods, grinning broadly.

“Yes, he does. I texted him on the bus to bring me some food, so he’s just going to pick up what I ordered. I mainly got it for Jimin, but now that I’m late….” He responds and you nod, realization sparking in your chest as you stare a bit embarrassed at the car seat in front of you.

“Now that I think about it, though, I’m going to need your address.” He says absentmindedly and you turn to him. At your look, he glances at you out of the corner of his eye and smirks a bit, amused. “I mean, I promised you I’d take you home, right? How can I do that if I don’t know where you live?”

You open your mouth, wanting to say that it’s not where you live, it’s not your home, it’s just a place where you're staying right now.

But then you remember.

It is your home now. It has to be your home now. This is where you live, this is where your life will be. This is where you have to stay from now on. You don’t know when you’re going to go back home. You don’t know if you can even call that place home anymore. All you know is that this, right here, right now. This is home. You live here, in Seoul. You aren't visiting, you aren't a tourist. You have a job, you have an apartment, you have your responsibilities.

Then again, If that’s all true…

Then why is it so hard to forget what you thought you could leave behind?

The car shakes a bit as Minhyuk pulls to a stop, having reached his first destination. As he pulls up in front of the restaurant, despite what Taehyung advised, he unbuckles and declares that he’ll be right back.

If he expects anyone to hear, he is out of luck.

At one glance between you staring off into space, your hands absentmindedly playing with your string, and Taehyung waiting expectantly for an answer; Minhyuk slowly pulls himself out of the car, closing the door securely behind him.

“I know when I'm being a third wheel…” He grumbles under his breath as he darts through the rain to receive the food order Taehyung gave.

Beside you, Taehyung, growing impatient, waves his hand in front of your blank expression, and you blink awake from your reverie.

“I’m sorry, what did you need again?” you ask him, your wandering mind forgetting just what it was you were talking about to get on the topic of your homesickness. He opens his mouth to answer you after he gives you a strange look, but you jolt sitting up straight in your seat as you remember on your own.

“Oh! You needed my address right?” Tae nods slowly, smiling a bit perplexedly as you turn to your bag and pull your phone out. You need to get working on learning your address now that you are the only one living there; you're lucky that in your rush this morning you didn't forget your key to the apartment, but what can you say? You haven't been in this city for more than 24 hours, it's ridiculous to imagine that you have it memorized by now.

Making a small note in the back of your mind to accomplish that tiny task, you pull up the address you saved in your Google Maps, and turn to Taehyung, holding out your phone to him. He drops his hand from his face and takes it out of your hand. Shaking the strange incomplete feeling that erupts in his chest as he reads your address, he starts a bit.

“I know this place.” He murmurs and you turn to him, an intrigued look on your face. You peer over his shoulder as best as you can, trying to make sure you didn't pull up the wrong address. Once you see the name of it, however, you know that there’s no mistake.

“You do?” you venture, tapping his arm a bit to see the screen better. At the tap, he pulls back and watches as you peer at the screen, your face one of peculiarity. “When did you visit Jaejin?”

At the words, Taehyung snaps his fingers and pulls the phone closer to him, you pulling back out of surprise. He zooms in a bit on the apartment and smiles proudly before looking at you fiercely. You flinch, a bit confused, but he doesn't seem to care. His broad smile is all that can be seen and the brightness in his eyes nearly blinds you from their light.

“That’s right! This is Jaejin’s apartment isn't it?” you nod mutely, looking at him as though he had a screw loose, but he doesn't notice. He turns back to the screen and sighs with nostalgia.

“I remember now, he hosted one of RM’s birthday parties there! Besides the one that we celebrate together with ARMY, Jaejin wanted to do something special for him. He talked with BTS and got together every one of Namjoon hyung’s friends to attend it. It was a huge surprise, and he even managed to get some GOT7 members to attend. TXT was there as well. Jackson liked it, I remember.” His eyes getting that distant look eyes to tend to get when you talk about good times from the past, he smiles faintly as he turns to you.

At that moment, it’s as though he’s sharing that memory with you. You can hear the music, you can feel the joy and laughter, it’s almost as though you were there yourself. A soft feeling of love, friendship, trust, and loyalty fills your heart, and you feel the lump in your throat turn.

Those are feelings that you left behind, feelings you miss even now.

“It seems so long ago now.” His voice is soft, and in the back of his throat, there is a guttural sound as though he is struggling to keep down a rise of emotion.

After a moment, Taehyung clears his throat and raises his head, turning to you and returning your small smile. Just as he does, Minhyuk opens the door, setting two brown paper bags filled with food and beverages on the seat next to him.

Taehyung lets out a loud but clear sigh shaking himself a bit as though that will erase the loneliest sorrows.

“Ahh….if I’m being honest, I’m still trying to get used to the fact that you are his replacement now.” He remarks before tapping Minhyuk on the shoulder. Startled, you blink in shock, staring at him as he shows Minhyuk the address, and Minhyuk proceeds to save it.

How did he know you were going to be Namjoon’s assistant? How did he even know you were working at BigHit? You certainly didn't tell him, and you know you didn't run into him when you were at the building. You would have remembered that, just as you remembered the bumpy encounters with Jungkook and Namjoon.

So how? How did he know that?

It takes a moment but once he has everything situated in the front of the car, and secure, Minhyuk pulls out of the restaurant area and back into traffic. Taehyung leans back in his chair and hands you your phone. Catching sight of your face, he raises an eyebrow.

“Are you okay--” he begins, but as soon as you hear his voice, you turn on him, startling him to silence.

“How did you know I was replacing Jaejin?” At your question, Taehyung’s smile fades as though he had said something wrong. Something he hadn't meant to say. He licks his lips nervously, turning away and clearing his throat.

“Jimin told me.” It’s a simple answer, but a careful one and you wonder just what exactly he’s trying to hide. You don't think the answer is a lie, but it seems to you that he’s tiptoeing around something, trying to be extra careful with his next words.

He doesn't want you to know, not just yet.

“How did Jimin know?” you ask him dubiously.

How do BTS know who you are even before you've had a chance to meet them yourself? You knew that Jaejin had a pretty important job in BigHit and was involved, but he never told you it would be like this.

“He got it from Namjoon.” He explains. When he notices your opening your mouth to ask another question, he cuts you off by pressing his finger against your lips to shut you up.

“Hyung was going crazy all morning because you didn't show up on time, it's like he was afraid you fell off the face of the earth or something.” At the mention, you grow a bit sad and resigned. You feel terrible for doing that to Namjoon. Taehyung reaches forward, at the sight of your sadness, wrapping his hand around yours as a sign of comfort.

“Don't worry, though. I'm sure Joonie is alright now, he was just being a bit paranoid.” He reassures you, smiling softly in your direction and you sigh before nodding, not quite believing him but doing the best you can. Once Tae is sure you won’t fade into yourself again, he continues, reaching into his back pocket to fish for his phone.

“Anyway, Namjoon was getting worried. He sent out a picture of you so that we would be on the lookout for you in case we saw you come in or whatever. That way he would know when you arrived and could see you as soon as possible.” Taehyung continues, pulling up his messages and scrolling through until he finds Jimin’s name.

“This was the picture he gave us, and that’s how I know.” He turns the phone around to you. After a moment's hesitation, you peer closely at the screen.

It takes you a moment to register just what exactly the picture is, but once you do, your eyes widen and you give a slight start of surprise. Your cheeks already rising with the feverish heat of embarrassment, you reach for the phone to steal it from Taehyung. He pulls it away from you just in time and holds it out of your arms reach. You let out a muffled aggravated growl as you reach for it, practically almost climbing over Tae until your seatbelt locks up and you are forced back.

“Taehyung!” you cry out fumbling over his body as he continues to dart the phone out of arm's reach.

Curse your tiny arms.

“Give it to me! Let me delete that!!” he laughs at your protest, and if you weren't so mad, perhaps that laugh would have made you laugh too.

Jaejin will die when you see him next.

“No! I like the chipmunk version of you better.” Taehyung snorts, staring at the photo with adoration.

“See? The little chippie thinks she can fit that huge bite in her mouth.” He remarks as you give him the death stare. He turns back to you, the widest smile on his face, but the glittering playful malice clear in his eyes.

“She couldn't do it.” He says, pouting in mock pity. Narrowing your eyes, you lunge forward once more and he laughs, dodging your attack for the second time.

“For your information, that was in the midst of me fitting it! I was able to do it in the end!” you grunt as you stretch as far as you can to reach the phone that he holds high above his head.

It’s not fair! How come his arms get to be so long?

“Now….let…..me….delete it!” you growl through gritted teeth.

Taehyung shakes his head as he scoots farther away from underneath your grasp, and lets you fall on the bench face first. You stay there for a moment, your chin resting on the leather padding. Smirking, he flicks your forehead, and that's when you get up, lunging for the phone.

After a few more moments of this, it somehow ends up with you stretched across the bench, on your back, your head on his lap. He dangles the device above your face, incessantly teasing you as though you were a child. Once, he even touches it to the point of your nose and when you swipe for it, he pulls it away.

“It’s not fair.” You murmur, pouting as you cross your hands over your chest. He looks down at you, fondly, dropping his hand and the phone with it on the bench next to him.

Biting his bottom lip, he opens his mouth to say something, but Minhyuk interrupts by stopping the car abruptly. Taehyung glances up, and you bolt out of his lap at the motion, looking around to try and identify where you are.

As you peer out of the tinted windows and Minhyuk turns around in his seat to look at the pair of you, you realize.

You're home.

Tae peers out the window to see if it's still raining, as you begin to pull apart the makeshift compress on your ankle. Without Taehyung's help, you're going to need your shoe.

Tae requests Minhyuk to hand him your coat just as you lay the last wrapping on the bench next to you and pull on your wedge. It doesn't hurt when it’s around your ankle. To make sure, you test your strength, leaning on your foot with as much weight as your able. The pressure you put on it is still painful, but bearable enough to walk to your apartment room. Zipping up your wedge, you turn to Taehyung and find him looking at you with concern.

“Does it hurt?” he asks, and you shake your head.

“No, you did a great job.” You reply, and he smiles to himself before situating your coat, opening it so you would be able to easily put it around your shoulders. Taking a deep unsteady breath and licking your lips a bit, you let out a small sigh.

“Thank you.” You say in hushed tones, and he pauses from what he’s doing to look at you in surprise. You hesitate before continuing, receiving the coat from his open arms and sliding it on around your shoulders. “I never thanked you for helping me before. So thank you, I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there to help me out.”

At his silence, you secure your coat around your body and pull your satchel off of the floor, hauling it on your shoulder before you leave. You wait a moment for him to say something if he will. When he doesn't, staring at you in a frozen shock, you chuckle to yourself before opening the door and letting in the once muffled noise of the storm.

“Goodbye, Kim Taehyung.” You say to him, smiling kindly over your shoulder, something to which he responds with a hard swallow as though preparing himself to speak, but you don't see that. You have already turned and have stepped your good foot out of the door before he stops you, calling you back.

“Wait!” he calls, and you turn around, leaving one foot outside, and angling yourself using your other foot as an axis. Slowly, he reaches out and takes your hand within his own, pulling it up to his lips and pressing a soft kiss along your knuckles. You suck in a sharp breath as he does, your heart aching.

“You’re welcome.” He whispers as he lowers your hand and pulls away. “I won't forget today.”

And neither will I.

Moving On - part 4

Summary: You are moving on from your past and starting a new life with your future as a Winchester

Characters: Reader x Sam Winchester, Dean x Cas, John x Mary, Joy Winchester

Warnings: fluffy Winchesters, swearing

Moving On part 3

@iamwarrenspeace @mythandmagik    @lieswithoutfairytales   @bbmommy0902  @hailmary-yramliah  @jessyballet @paryl @tcc-gizmachine @vicmc624

The next two weeks in DC were a blur of meetings and packing up the personal belongings you had accumulated over the past 4 years, most belonging to Joy. By the time you were heading to the airport and saying goodbye to your life, you were feeling a bit overwhelmed. It reminded you of your escape from NY but this time with a bit more excitement of the unknown.

Settling in on the plane heading for your new home, you had brought everything you could think of to keep Joy occupied on the 3 hour flight. By the time you touched down and made your way through the airport to baggage claim, your daughter had become a deadweight that you were now carrying along with your other items, you couldn’t imagine never having the support you currently have from Sam.

Then you thought about trying to make this same trek with her if you were further along in your pregnancy and knew you couldn’t do this alone, you consider yourself a strong independent woman, but not nearly strong enough to be a single mother, those women were warriors that you could only aspire to.

Baggage claim was a madhouse and just as you are about to reach out and grab Joy’s car seat, someone moves around you and grabs it right out in front of you. You were too tired for this, and you looked up to yell at the culprit only to see the beautiful hazel eyes of the man you love.

“I thought I told you that you didn’t need to pick us up” you whispered, hoping to not wake your daughter.

He leaned in for a quick kiss, “I know, but I’ve missed my girls, and this way I get an hour just the two of us before getting to my parents house for dinner.”

“Well, I could definitely eat, but I thought you would be in court all day, so I really am surprised to see you” you snuggled into him as best you could before he started to take bags off your shoulders.

“Let me get this stuff, and you hold on to the precious cargo” he smiled down at Joy, rubbing her back and placing a kiss on her forehead before leading you out of the airport.

By the time all your things were loaded in the car, your daughter was waking up and squealing when she saw Sam. He listened and responded to her the entire way down the highway and only stopped when we reached the Winchester home.

"Babe, I thought we'd be going to your apartment, I could use a shower and nap before dinner with your family" you tell him as you lean over and pull him into a kiss. Whenever you two were apart for any length of time you were always very touchy feely that first day, but even more so when it's been weeks apart.

"Didn't I tell you, I didn't renew my lease, I've been staying here for the time being until we get our own place" he mentions as he exits the car.

"I vaguely remember you mentioned your lease but I thought we had a few more months'' you try your best to smile. You were really hoping for a quiet night in with Sam, but it looks like that's going to be postponed for who knows how long.

Before you even made it to the door, Mary was coming out with a huge smile on her face and pulling you into a hug, “we’ve missed you around here, well I probably missed you the most, there are too many men around here” she whispered before releasing you.

“Nana!” was heard from inside the car as you saw your daughter try to unbuckle and reach her grandmother as soon as possible. You were about to go to her when Mary stepped up, “please let me, I need snuggles with my Joy”.

“By all means, but she slept most of the flight, so she’s going to be full of energy” hoping to warn Mary but by the look on her face, she doesn’t mind at all. The two are running toward the house as you help Sam with your bags from the trunk.

You always loved the Winchester home, large but still inviting, spacious but still cozy, and the fact that every member of the family; immediate and extended; welcomed you with open arms from the beginning was the best feeling.

Growing up in foster care, you never had a home, not for more than a month or two at a time. Then being on your own since you were 15, you never expected to be here now, but it was as if all the years of struggling and trying to find yourself had been worth it to get here.

Becoming a Winchester was something you never knew you always wanted and desperately needed. You can hear Mary and Joy chatting in the kitchen as you make your way upstairs hoping for a bit of relaxation before you become completely exhausted. Sam pulls you into a warm hug before you’re even completely in the room.

Calming any nerves with a kiss to your forehead. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about the apartment, I’ve been working so much trying to catch up so that we could have a nice weekend together as a family now that you are officially moved to Kansas that it completely slipped my mind. What can I do to make it up to you?” looking up at him you could see a glint of mischief in his eyes.

“There’s nothing to make up for, but if you were offering a back rub before my nap, I would greatly accept.” as you reach up and kiss me softly before making your way to the bed to remove your shoes.

“Well, if you insist, but I’m almost certain my world famous backrubs is what got you pregnant the first time” he chuckles as turns towards you.

“Good thing we don’t have that to worry about” and you kiss him again. Snuggling as close as you could to Sam, you fell asleep almost instantly, his arms being your safe place, your home.

Waking up with a chill, you realized you were now alone and the absence of Sam made the room feel like a freezer. Quickly getting up and showered, you made your way downstairs to find your family.

You smiled watching Joy, curled up in Dean’s lap watching Scooby Doo, both laughing at the same spots, those two had such a great bond.

"There she is, how was your nap?" Mary asked as she entered the living room from the kitchen with Sam following behind.

"Wonderful, thank you. I promise to not disappear on you again" you told her as she pulled you into another hug.

"No need to apologize for allowing me more time with my granddaughter" as she moved towards the sofa and handed Joy a drink.

"Dinner will be ready as soon as John gets home, so I didn't think she needed a snack right now"

"thank you, but I was planning on cooking for y'all tonight" you told her as you and Sam joined them, while Joy and Dean shushed us for interrupting their show.

"Don't worry about that sweety, John is picking up dinner on the way here, we're just happy to have you two back in town"

The Winchesters were always so inviting, you had dreamed of a family like this when you were growing up and now you finally had it.

By the time John had come in with dinner, the tv had been turned off and you were helping your daughter clean up as Castiel came in and greeted you both.

"Unca Cas! I sit wit you" Joy squealed as she ran and hugged his legs.

"I've missed you too, and as long as it's ok with your mom" He crouched down to her eye level before she was throwing her arms around his neck.

"Don't you want to sit with your favorite uncle?" Dean asked as he patted the seat beside him. Joy laughed as she climbed into the seat between them "luv yu unca bean" and blew him a kiss.

"So, Y/N, we are so glad you two are back for a visit, how long do we get to keep you this time?" John asked as you all started eating.

"Well, about this visit, its um" looking at Sam for some help as he just shrugged with that cute smirk on his face. "Sorry, I'm not sure how to say this and I didn't really have a plan but, this isn't a visit" you looked around and everyone seemed a little confused. "We have officially become Kansas residents as of today"

"Oh, that's fantastic!" Mary told you as everyone seemed a bit shocked.

"Were you able to transfer to a local office?" John asked.

"No, actually, I resigned but they call it retiring so they have the option to hire you back when they need the help, but I don't think that will be a concern for many years if ever" you state trying to reassure Sam that this is it for you, for your family to be together.

"I'm happy for you, sweetheart, but that seems a bit sudden. Is something going on?" Dean seemed to be concerned by your sudden change.

Finally Sam spoke up, "yes Dean, something is going on" he smiled down at you. "Y/N wants to move the wedding up and become a Winchester as soon as possible."

You smirk at him and look back at the family, they seem happy but a bit confused. "Sam and I have a little surprise" you tell them as he squeezes your hand "we are expecting"

There was a unified gasp from the table before everyone was congratulating you.

Once the celebration was over it was time to put your daughter to bed, but with a house full of her favorite people you figured you wouldn't be able to do it tonight even if you wanted to. While Mary opted for handling bath time, the rest of you settled down on the patio, the men opting for whiskey to end the night while you stuck with a cup of tea.

"Might I suggest the name Dean, if it's a boy?" Dean told you with a smirk on his face.

"Really?" you asked "you don't want to use the name for your own kids?" Dean looked a little shocked but shook his head almost defeated.

"Come on Dean, you and Cas would make amazing parents, you never thought about it?" you questioned.

"We discussed it but I'm not sure kids are a realistic idea with as much as we work and travel all the time" he shrugged looking defeated.

Noticing Dean give Sam a pointed look, you realize you may have overstepped and decided to drop the subject. “Well, as your sister-in-law, I support any decision you make for your family. You need to do what's right for you"

The morning was a whirlwind of finding what you needed amongst the bags you had packed and boxes you shipped, but ultimately you were able to get yourself and Joy looking presentable for breakfast with the family. By the time you make it downstairs, John is kissing Mary goodbye and heading towards the door. “Papa wait!” Joy runs full speed and hugs John's legs. “Oh sweetie, I’ll be home tomorrow and we can have a whole day together, how does that sound?” he asks as he leans down to give her a goodbye hug. “Yay, I wan pancakes” as she runs to the kitchen to find her Nana.

“You are working on Saturday? That’s awful” you tell him as he pulls you in for a hug also. “Small little hiccup, I’m hoping to make it back tonight but just in case, I will see you all tomorrow” he waves and is out the door. “So mom, do you think you can keep an eye on your granddaughter for a few hours? I have something I want to show Y/N, and maybe grab lunch in town”

Within the hour the two of you are driving through Lawrence and he’s pointing out all his favorite places growing up before he stops in front of a beautiful two story house on the north end of town.

“So what do you think?” he asks as he opens the car door for you

“It’s beautiful, but what are we doing here?” you ask.

“Well, I was looking around and found this place, and thought we could have the wedding in the backyard” he tells you with a small grin.

“This is perfect, I wanted something small and intimate, but this is just someone’s house. Why would they rent it to us for our wedding?” you question as you walk around the house to the backyard.

“Well, that was the catch, we can’t rent it, so I bought it” he responds with a look between hope and apprehension.

“You bought a house?” you were shocked to say the least. You weren’t sure if you should be upset that he made such a big decision, but Sam was always one to surprise you.

“Yes, for us, technically it’s not ours until we sign the final closing paperwork on Monday but we need a place of our own and what better way to start our family than in our own home” he pulls you into a hug and you can only respond with a huge smile

highschool!minho as your boyfriend

pairing — fem!reader x minho

genre — fluffish angst-ish ? bullet scenario but mostly not, enemies to lovers

word count — 2k

happy birthday to our precious cat boy! 🐈

happy birthday lino!

you’re one of the best dancers in your school

competitions arent complete without you

i guess the popularity with dancing got over your head a little bit

to you, you were just proud

but others took it the wrong way, as per usual

“alright we’re going to have a new member in our crew, please give him a warm welcome!” your dance instructor clapped

you wiped off your sweat and sat down on the floor to listen further

“come in, lino!” she urged

the young man came in wearing gray sweats and a plain black shirt with a poker face on

you didnt really care nor felt a bond forming between you two

“hi, lee minho, nice to meet you” he smiled half heartedly

you heard the other girls in the room swoon at the sight of him

you were about to nudge your friend who was obviously squealing when the instructor interrupted

“[y/n]! stand over here, please” she pointed beside minho

so you complied

his scent was manly with a hint of softness

he was taller than you and had a lean body structure

your instructor was eyeing the both of you from head to toe and proceeded to call over another instructor

“see, they would be perfect for it!” she whisper shouted at her fellow instructor, still eyeing the both of us

“i do agree with you but dont you think minho is still new? he just came in” the other replied

“minho if you don’t mind? can i show him your audition video?” she asked

minho gave her a nod while he looked around the place with his arms crossed, while you looked like an idiot just standing there like 🧍🏻‍♀️

“wow! his body is flexible, you made the right choice with these two" the male instructor commended

“right?"

"alright, you two would be assigned to create a new choreography for the up coming dance competition. it should be hip hop styled, music of choice is yours." she instructed

your fellow dancers already went home since it was getting late, so you did too after the discussion

you didnt really talk to minho

you felt like you didnt need to, yet

unless it was about the dance

practices were always held after classes. you and the crew decided to brainstorm possible songs that you guys could dance to. all of the songs they were suggesting was boring and at this point you were frustrated and threw a fit. "god, think!" you sighed at your fellow dancers as you ruffled your hair in anger. "do you have any better ideas?" minho asked, nonchalant. "i evaluate whether or not the songs can be used. do you have any ideas?" you rolled your eyes, copying his tone.

he shook head and let out a light smirk, a rather amused one. he suggested songs and remixes that were actually good, but you can never say that. for the first time, someone actually had the courage to speak back to you during your angry state. it did hurt your ego a bit.

"no, i dont want that, it's ear-bleeding" you lied, just for the sake of your reputation in front of your fellow members. "im not asking for your permission, im showing this to noona," he said getting up from the floor with the computer and walked out to find our older instructor.

whispers and held back laughter was heard in the room while their eyes are focused to either you, or minho's back who just disappeared

being a little brat, you stomped over to minho ( who you found in the hallway, just outside your instructor's office ) "you!" you stormed over until youre close enough. without looking, he let out a sigh, "what?"

"what the hell was that about!" you half-shouted, eyebrows furrowed. "what? did i hurt your ego?" he raised an eyebrow, giving you a smirk. you were taken aback by his choice of words. no body has ever came this close to you. all he did was say the truth, because he really did hurt your ego. you hate being told what to do and you hate getting embarrassed in front of people.

your face turned red, "you know what? fuck you" you turned around and left. leaving him with this annoying smug look on his pretty face.

it became a routine

to argue with him during practice

you guys were partners in the said dance

being close with his body gives you the chance to take revenge

by making yourself heavy every time he has to carry you

but you learned that he's not the one to hold back

by letting go of you, causing you to fall off ass first

after a month straight of practice, it went like that

safe to say you hated each other's guts

he hated your bratty and egotistic attitude, and you hated him for pointing it out in front of every one

there's 3 more days until the performance

and somehow, nervousness was getting ahead of you.

"one last practice for today! let me see what you guys got." your instructor said as you guys were positioning yourselves in place. during the dance, you knew you made so many mistakes but you were still hoping it would go unnoticed. making the ending pose, every one clapped as well as the instructor.

"over all, it's a winning dance for me!" every one cheered for the mentor's compliment while you were feeling unsteady. "[y/n], work on the dance a little more okay? you seem a bit on edge" she gave you a small smile. embarrassment was written all over your face. improve? me? christ! it's much worse when minho, who is right beside you, heard that.

the instructor left and every one proceeded to pack their things. as you were about to close yours, "work on the dance a little more okay?" little shit minho repeated your instructors words, with a smug look on his face that you badly want to wipe off with a punch

"okay" you replied dryly, not wanting to engage with crap because of your rising nervousness. "looks like im about to take your place, brat" he added. you knew he was just messing around since both of you had been fighting like this almost every day. you gave him a nod because you just wanted to escape at this point. you placed your bag over your shoulder and opened the door, "don't you think maybe it's because you're not that good-"

"can we not do this right now? alright? i get it. if you really are so fucking great, congrats! now leave me alone." you spat, walking past him and left the studio. the sun was setting when you got out and it was a rather chill weather. it was fine, we're in the middle of october any way.

you sighed as you hugged yourself for comfort due to the strong wind. walking home, you decided to stop by a vending machine.

great! your money just had to be stuck in the vent. just when you thought your day could get worse, this happens. you placed your head on the glass of the machine in front of you while mindlessly playing with the buttons.

you regret losing your cool in front of minho like that, because you know he was just messing around. at some point during practice, you were slowly learning that being a brat is horrible and not everything will go my way.

you noticed that you were starting to change too.

you let out another sigh and kicked a foreign rock to express your frustration. you eyes went back to the stuck money and tried to get it out again. a random finger from behind pressed a red button on top of the machine, which immediately retrieved your money.

you turned back around to thank the person, "thank you-" your smile faded when you realized who it was. he had a small cat eye smile on, "hi" he said in a low tone, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"hi" you said rather awkwardly. "what drink do you want?" he said as he brought out his wallet, positioning himself in front of the machine. "no you don't have to" you protested. "please, let me do this, it's the least i can do for pissing you off"

"banana milk, and im sorry too" you replied, playing with your fingers. he gave you this 'why are you saying sorry' look. "im sorry for all the mean stuff i said back there, i dont know what has gotten into me, im just so nervous about the performance"

he nodded, implying that he's listening while typing and inserting the money on the machine. "im just sorry for being a brat in general," you smiled apologetically as you accepted the banana milk from him. both of you sat down beside the vending machine.

"you dont have to apologize you know? im the one who took it too far" he said, guilt plastered all over his face. "it's fine, i deserve it. besides if it wasnt for you, i wouldnt have notice how much of a bitch i am." you admitted with a light chuckle.

"i didnt mean what i said earlier by the way," he spoke, finishing up his own banana milk. "which one?" you asked. "when i said you were not that good, i didnt mean it. in fact, youre one of the best." he admitted, placing his empty banana milk beside him.

"you think so?" you asked with a smile. "i know so" he smiled back, removing his hairband and placing it back again. "maybe that's why im falling for you." he mumbled.

competition day came

you were feeling energetic today

bratiness level lowered down by 70%

the performance went really great

every one at your school was rooting for your team

which made you even more giddy

"and the grand champion for this year is..."

you heard your school's name and immediately hugged minho unintentionally out of joy

your legs were wrapped up in his waist and he was swinging you around, happy to win as well.

he let go of you gently, trying not to make things awkward

youve already touched his body due to the dance steps but it felt awkward after he confessed

after the celebration, your crew was in the back stage, preparing for the surprise

today is october 25, meaning it's his special day

you got out the cake you personally baked for him and motioned everyone to gather around before minho comes in

"surprise!" every one cheered and threw random pieces of paper towards him when he came in the back stage

"happy birthday to you! happy birthday to you! happy birthday dear minho, happy birthday to you" you sang along with the crew and faced him his cake

"make a wish, lino" you said as you waited for him to blow.

"i wish to be with you" he said out loud, not even minding the people around us and blew the candle out. a lot of ooos and cheers were heard, making you blush. you gathered frosting all over your finger and proceeded to wipe it on his face

he let out a fake shocked face as he did the same to you. by now, every one around you has frosting in your faces. musting up all the courage left in you. you made your way to minho once more and placed a frosting on his lips. he smirked at your sudden action as he lifted you up.

you pressed your lips against his, licking the frosting clean off of him. he gladly accepted the kiss, ignoring everyone around the both of you. pulling away, "maybe i am falling for you too, lino" you confessed. making him kiss you once more.

Barrier

Summary: Mallory had a friend in the CIA request for you to impose as a worker at Vought. You were chosen for your skills and abilities by Mallory herself. To where you had to gain intel on the company to gain dirt against them for the Boys. Not all of it goes as plan.

Pairing: Homelander x CIA!Supe!Reader

A/N: I don't know why I wanted to do this. But I thought it would be a good idea for the reader and Homelander for some reason.

Being part of Central Intelligence wasn't easy. You're a CIA officer, handpicked by Grace Mallory herself. Why? Because of your power there more mental and unique compared to most. You couldn't start a fire from you're hand, or even shapeshift, no you could do something more suitable for the corporation. Five of your main powers are simple and easy to understand, you can mind link, telepathy, and astral projection. Your mind link allows you to hear someone's thoughts from miles away, you can choose who to link with and who to break it with. But sometimes you're mental link automatically does itself. You could always mind control, but never figured you had to use it half of the time. Then you can mind walking, understanding the person from the outside through the inside of there past. Mind walking was terrifying for you though, the places you entered were dark and world-altering for you because of it.

CIA never bothered to get you to mind walk, knowing how traumatizing it could be, but it was all for you're will. You couldn't do much physically but you certainly make a great officier. Now your mission was to work under Vought, it was one of the most special missions yet to you. Sure, you did jobs outside of it, but this was you're the main one. Somehow you became one of Madelyn Stillwell's assistants next to the other one Ashley.

It was easy for you, you went into Stillwell's head, and answered what she wanted slickly. She thankfully was convinced and gave you a higher-up position by her side. Knowing what she was thinking was easy, especially when you know she's not on to you. Now you made sure not to use your powers at "work," but at times you couldn't help it.

Stillwell had you work closely with the Seven assisting in whatever they needed. This was easy, especially when you could hear all of there thoughts. One time you caught the Deep feeling down, so you gave him casual advice without him hearing it. He grew deeply attach to you for you're kindness and for you just know. Another time you ordered something for Black Noir and claimed you saw him trying to get some food but they ignored him. He was convinced and hung out with you at times because of it.

Sure you could hear his thoughts, but his thoughts were way louder than him. Mainly commenting on what he thought of people around him. Then you gained A-Train's trust, by doing another simple task which was helping him on a script. Queen Maeve seemed to be in an inner debate with herself, you helped her to which you kept between yourself and her. Yeah, shes you're a friend to because in her words you act like a human being. Translucent on the other hand was just interested in you, mostly because you told him to get out of the bathroom once when he was invisible.

Somehow you sensed his presence. But managed to start joking with him, which brought it to an end. Starlight you both talked about normal things, now she was your favorite because of how sweet she was. But you don't tell Noir that. Lastly, there was Homelander the biggest hurdle to climb and gain a connection with.

You've managed to gain a mental link with all seven including Stillwell. You made sure block you're the end of the mental links which was exhausting. Sure, it would hurt your head at times but you could handle another one. This one had to be like a tether compare to the rest, Mallory wanted the main link to be with you and Homelander. He was the big fish in the pond she wanted, this was the hardest for you.

Until you found him being overly emotional in his head, wrath consumed him the point you could feel the tension. Now in order to make the bond stronger, you had to gain intimacy. Much to you're dismay this could be easier with time added to it. Like always you approached Homelander calm when he was isolated. "Hey, you okay?"

"Why do you even give a flying fuck?" He remarked staring back at the city of New York. Yeah, you knew he was a tough one to cross the borders, if it became necessary you'll have to mind the walk.

"Because I can feel the tension?" You claim at him. He turns with his cape swaying at the speed of the rotated. "Not to mention, you look like you could use it." Those blue eyes of his darted down at you seizing you up.

"I bet you would like that, for me to be vulnerable with you too," he hissed. There was no way he could hear you're heart rate increase, the CIA and Mallory trained you for it. To manipulate it easily to get pass a lie detector test. She's stupid if she thinks she can convince me to trust her, you heard from his mind suddenly.

"Yeah, because bottling everything up isn't healthy." You start by trying to sound as concerned as possible. "Leaders even need help at times you know? That's why in nature the alpha male usually has his alpha female. In other words, it's why the king has his queen. But it's not always a female, at times the king has a council to decide what he wants. It's also why a CEO has there assistants in general. To assist, which is why I'm here." Hopefully, that sounds convincing enough for him. He still wasn't convinced but his mind was silent at the moment. A pregnant pause overtook the two of you before pressing your lips together in fake defeat. "Whatever, you can believe me or not, you're choice. I have to go meet Noir anyway, for some reason he wants me to introduce him to the artist MISSIO and Panic! At the Disco? I'm not sure. Nice talking to you, I guess."

If this didn't work you had a second plan on what to do that could bend the situation to you're will. Whether you liked it or not. Okay maybe you favored both Black Noir and Starlight equally, but you couldn't tell either one that, or the other Seven they'll be jealous. But you walked out with somewhat hearing Homelander's guilt at this. Let's just say you introduced Black Noir to alternative and indie music. He jammed out with you as you both enjoyed the music. That was the most fun you had without going out or without talking really. You introduced him to more bands that he ended up enjoying.

Going home you had a plan for the pull a string to tighten the knot to have a mental link. When recording the whole situation on paper you hid where you usually did. Somewhere no one with X-ray vision would bother to look, up on the ceiling. Well, you hoped no one would see it. Never a guarantee in that department.

You went to your bed and laid down on your back and began to relax facing parallel to the ceiling. Playing nature sounds made you relax more until you felt a lightweight come out. You were almost faded well transparent. In your astral projection form, you began to head out. Walking through the streets of New York, passing by people as you did.

The six members of the Seven heads became quiet including Madelyn Stillwell, indicating they're all asleep. Running through the streets of New York you felt free somewhat each time. Perhaps it was because of the middle of the night, and you felt unstoppable as you wandered. Coming to Vought Towers took a while until you glided up to Homelander's penthouse. Entering it was strange, maybe because you've never been here?

Schemes of blue and some navy grey all over the place. On the wall were pictures of baseball and all American things. Even a couple of himself smiling. Then you walked to his bedroom to see him in a fetal position asleep. Except you see his bare skin of his arms with the closet open you saw the suit.

You had to admit, for someone so bad he was attractive especially with his blonde hair being a mess as he slept. He asleep though, and his thoughts are so low and quiet despite the dark ones. Half heartily you touched his cheek, you know he can't feel it not if he's not awake. But then saw his hand open a bit as if he was less guarded. Ghostly you took his hand in yours, you sat on your knees on the side of the bed. Now, this was the weird part of your ability, it worked at times with a focus handhold, other times it took pressing your temples.

It's part a form of intimacy sort of? But you needed more for the mental link, this was to connect into his mind it was different. Flushed sort of embarrassed at the moment despite no one seeing you, it still was for you. Tapping in your power you blinked now you felt something. Warm presence of the sun.

Dirt grinding between you is toes as you wiggled them. Opening your eyes you saw the woods. Tall trees with green leaves with songbirds chirping their tunes. As you stepped towards the forest you saw a little boy. Giggling as he chased the birds and the butterflies. Who was this child?

Unsure you began to walk over as the grass brushed your naked ankles. But you still wore a loose lavender button blouse with black leggings. He chased whatever it was observing the world before him. Walking you smiled warmly at the sight it was actually precious. Was this a version of him?

"Excuse me, you wouldn't happen to know where I could find a man here? Point me in the direction if you could, please?" You asked kindly the boy turned towards your smile dropping. You were confused at this but maintain you're composure.

"You're not here to hurt me are you?" Your heart dropped at this. You felt bad for him, you knew how superheroes were made. Dosing pregnant woman with Compound V, you always know Homelander was raised in a lab. But you never bothered to think how cruel these scientists were to him. "Please don't." He begged, you sort of wanted to cry at this.

How bad were they to them? Did they restrain him and inject needles into him? Did they beat him? You commanded your mind to shut up, sympathizing with the enemy is something you can't do. He's your enemy, not a person to humanize normally. He's killed thousands mercilessly. And here you were allowing his head to affect you. Emotions can't cloud your judgment whether you like it or not. "No, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm (Y/N), (Y/N) (Y/L/N), I'm a bit lost. New here actually, I'm just looking for a man about five-eleven, strong-looking with blonde hair and blue eyes. He sort of looks like you."

"(Y/N)" he said tasting the name. "(Y/N)," he repeats still seeing how it felt coming out of his mouth. "I'm John," he suddenly says with a toothy grin.

"John that's a nice name," you remark back to him. You sort of remember the meaning of the name at some point. "I love your name. So did my mom, she loved that name a lot." You see a bright smile still grace his face at that.

"Thank you. I love your name too!" He cheerfully comments. He's sweet, he's not like the Homelander you know at the moment. It's as if there two different people.

"Now have you seen a tall man around?" You inquire to which he bobs his head at this. "Can you take me to him?" You ask to which he nods.

"He's scary though. Will you protect me?" He asks you nod you're head. John takes your hand, his hand was small compare to yours. But he began to guide you into the woods. Twigs snapped both of you walked through it. Before birds tweeted their tunes loudly but the further deep you went the more it became quiet. Just like that with the sunlight, it was darker and cloudier the deeper you went. John guided you through with ease until you came across the rain. Drops of water hit both you as you went through and thunder rumbled.

Thunder and lightning soon consumed the sky. John hugged your arm as you walked through he was six and reminded you of yourself at some point. Scared of the dark just like anyone else. You felt bad that whatever was up ahead he was terrified of.

Then you came across a cabin with a light glowing in the middle of the thunderstorm and pouring rain. Sitting on the porch in thought was Homelander. His hair soaked and his suit as he stared darkly at the ground. Horrific in its own way that made your stomach turn. Sorrowfully though you stared at this adult version of John.

Why did they have to hurt him? Why did they have to dehumanize him? Stripping him of his own childhood to in the process. Why did they have to be so cruel to him? He probably would've been stronger if he was taught kindness and be a human being. You held back you're emotions once more you couldn't get lost in this as well. Too late to fix anything with him internally. Some say it's never too late, but he needs someone truly good to do that for him. And you think you're not the person for it.

Meeting the blue gaze of Homelander you felt shivers down you're spine at this. John hid half of himself behind you at this. Those eyes of his are full of chaos and destruction and it sort of made sick knowing how it got there. "What the hell are you doing here?" He hissed at the sight of you. "Both of you." He states taking a stand with a faint of red in his eyes.

Sucking in a breath you couldn't let him know your power so you had to play coy at this. "How should we know? This is you're dreaming. You're head." He can't hurt you here, not physically at least. He can't do anything he doesn't really have power here especially since he doesn't know how to face your kind of power.

"Don't play dumb against me," he growled taking a couple of steps forward. His eyes were beginning to glow a furious red. "You know exactly what's going on!" You felt John flinch at the sudden rise of voice from the Homelander. Throwing a finger accusingly directed at you.

But your heart ached at this, it's sad. He's depressing when you get to know his past. And knowing in reality he's a terrified child inside of a beast. "You know its sad," you start off in a monotone voice at this, "you're hurt. Physically and emotionally, and you fight those who want to hurt those who want to help. It's crueler than you abuse yourself for things you can't control." Poking him where it hurt was the only way to reflect himself to him. Breaking down a wall like this one can allow yourself access into actually building a connection with him.

Unlike the other members of the Seven, he was the toughest one to break the barrier with. "Shut up! I'm the Homelander, I do not harm myself. No one can touch me! Not even myself. You're just a pathetic insect in this world. Lowest of the low!" He was trying to hurt you, and most of it stung but you had acted like steel.

Be a person of steel against his aggression towards you. "I may be, but as low as you feel to yourself." You remark back which made his eyes glow more furious. He wouldn't laser you, he was bluffing acting like a child in the middle of a temper tantrum. "You know, you don't have to act like this. Instead of sabotaging everything that comes your way that can possibly love, why not accept it? The actual love of a person." Before see how he flinched from that response from you. "It wasn't you're fault, you know? How they treated you? You could act better than what they taught you. Prove them wrong," the redness in his eyes stop before he shut them. Turning away from you, to face off to the side. The thunderstorm in the sky became more peaceful and the rain stopped pouring. "Vulnerability isn't always a bad thing, John. You don't have to be scared, just trust somebody enough to love them. Just like you can only be brave when you're scared."

John the small one peeked out and lowered his hands from his ears. He loosened his grip on you before you moved over steady. Carefully taking steps over to the Homelander as he remained silent. Hesitantly closed enough you debated whether to just touch his shoulder or give him a hug. This was the last step to break a mental barrier for him. Ghostly you enveloped over his left and the side of his upper arm wrapping it. You placed your temple on the back of his neck.

Instead of tension, you felt as he relaxed within seconds of your touch. As if a bunch of weight was coming off him in a matter of seconds. Before you felt a migraine coming along, oh no, you thought to yourself. Last you felt was the material of his suit against your face.

You blinked to his blue eyes shoot open. You jumped back but felt the migraine overtaking you. He shot up glancing around the area somewhat terrified of what he "dreamt" about. You could understand why, but it was a pull closer to tightening the knot between you two. Heading back to your apartment you stumbled a bit on your way there. Until you fell back into your body. Just to sit up and see the blood oozing out of you're nostrils. "Well shit." Your comment, it was four am and you still had four hours before "work." You popped in two pills for your migraine and cleaned your bloody nose. Boy, that was a well, mind-altering.

Sleeping after that felt incredible. But you did cry a bit for mental relief before passing out. Four hours later you woke up and dressed not caring while wearing black shades to cover your hooded eyes underneath. You picked up a large iced latte with some mocha in it. Walking in the office wearing a white blouse and black leggings and a leather jacket with nice dress shoes. Today you didn't care outfit wise, you decided to bring a jacket that had a hood to cover yourself when its break time, you planned on napping in your office.

But you built a bullshit story luckily. On your way, you ate your breakfast sandwich and got the Seven muffins. Through the mental links, you heard them mention you. Showing up at Vought you couldn't help but laugh at the funeral jokes thrown at from your coworkers.

Entering through the elevator Madelyn sent you to them to discuss what they needed. All lite up at the sight of you well, not really Homelander. He seems in his deep thought. You tossed Black Noir his pumpkin muffin than Deep his strawberry, Starlight her chocolate muffin. Queen Maeve got her peach and cream muffin. Translucent had a pecan. Than A-Train liked having oat. Then you gave Homelander had a chocolate chip. Then you had a blueberry, almond with white frosting on it. "Wheres the funeral out today, (Y/N)?" Maeve teased as she took a bite of hers.

"You look like you going to one and then a rock concert after," A-Train comments to you. You gave a chuckle at this.

"I was up and out late last night," you grin as took a sip of your coffee.

"Oh, who was it this time? Some guy you met a bar? Because the last one you talked about seems like a nerd." The Deep remarks.

"Brains are attractive! I rather not be with a dumb guy. Besides, I ran into an old friend from college. She got me drunk and bet I couldn't ride the mechanical bull for six solid minutes. I managed, then vomited after." Just to hear Maeve go 'ooo' at this.

"This is why you're my favorite (Y/N). You're nice and know when to have some fun." She grinned at you.

"Now what are you guys needed?" You inquire to them. Hearing there inner thoughts you knew it was nothing bad, but Homelander was contemplating from his "dream."

"Well, we are having an issue with deciding whether or not how to handle this video that surfaced of well, Translucent breaking a guy's nose." Starlight explained to which in a matter of seconds was resolved. This was until Homelander requested to speak to you alone.

Amongst all of them, they seem to tense up at this. Most of them questioned in their heads if he was mad at you. You entered the separate room away from them. "Everything alright, Homelander?" Immediately asked him. To which he paused facing you. No aggression was targeted towards you. "Something wrong?"

"I-" he paused. Pondering how to say this properly as possible. "I- you asked me yesterday what was on my mind, right? I blew you off. That wasn't right of me, you're just trying to help. I was wondering, can I talk to later about it? When you're not busy?"

"Of course," you said. You still felt bad for him. Despite all the spat you and how he is to humanity. But you have to remind yourself not to get attached to either one of them. Any can flip on a dime from something done wrong. But this was opening in the barrier, one step closer to creating a tough mental link between the two of you. The next step will have to be intimacy to seal the knot for you. Mallory's words stung in your head, repeating saying "do not forget what each of them has done to harm people. Don't you forget?"
