Neria bursts into laughter, falling into him, holding him as tight as he holds her. They've found their way home. And everything is going to be just fine.
Thank you so much @sunshinemage for the gorgeous art of Solas and Neria! I can't think of a more beautiful end to their tale ♥

so the thing i am noticing as i continue to watch the river eps is that the problem i have with the melody pond plotline is not necessarily its fantastical improbability/ridiculousness, because doctor who has always been a show about making the fantastically improbable and ridiculous feel charming and wonderful, and also i am soooo biased i love melody pond soooo much That's Amy And Rory's Baby To Me! if anything, the fact that this is a series of absurd coincidences endear me to the notion more. but the thing is, with the information we're given about river pre-reveal, there is absolutely no way that anyone could possibly guess river's true identity.
prefacing that statement -- i did a cursory google search & moffat did seem to intimate in some interviews that he had the river stuff locked and loaded as early as s5! i do think that clocks, because river makes lots of references to killing the doctor, amy and river are absolutely a lot alike from the get-go, and the amelia pond -> river song thing is also a clear hint, but the foreshadowing outside of that is literally nothing, in what seems to be a preventative measure. that is not enough info to figure out that river is melody.
i feel like this is most clearly shown in let's kill hitler -- they handwave mels not being present at the wedding or mentioned in any prior episode, when we absolutely should have met her! honestly, mels should have been a character that we see in the eleventh hour (maybe even someone who either helps out here and there or refuses to), to the point where when amy and rory name melody, we know that it's for mels. we need her to feel like amy and rory's best friend from the moment that we meet amy and rory, rather than being introduced in the River Backstory Episode. mels could turn down traveling with the doctor for some unspecified reason, but she needs to be either someone he knows or someone that we have seen make an effort to make herself invisible. her showing up only when she has Narrative Relevance, when she should have been the clearest hint to who river is, was not a good plan, and it makes me upset, because 1) we miss out on mels, a wonderful and adorable and slightly murderous incarnation of river who i'd have loved to see more of, and 2) mels not being there means figuring out who melody is becomes that much more difficult, which really does support my theory that the focus was on Creating A Shocking Timey-Wimey Moment rather than a long-term investment in river's character :( and that, for me, is a bummer.
at the same time, tho, i'm kinda like -- so much of river's character really is defined by being a Woman Of Mystery! the hints can't come from her, obvs, because i think she would lose so much of what makes her her if she's at any point able to be deciphered by the doctor or the narrative. and i do think it's very on brand for river (who is made of masks) to absolutely shut all of her feelings down when interacting with younger versions of her parents. but we really, really, really needed more time with river. i think that's what i'm getting at. we needed more time with river within the show, very possibly through mels, for this to work effectively.

The only good thing about living in Ontario, Canada, was your friend group, the Supernatural Squad. Although you were just the comedic relief, you were the most reasonable and level-headed. You were still a staple to the group. You weren't very supernatural, however. Just an ordinary human who happened to be friends with a bunch of vampires, a witch/wizard, Benny couldn't decide on a damn label, and a seer.
You and Rory and Benny and Ethan were the two duos of the group that'd been together the longest. Benny and Ethan met in middle school, and you and Rory met in 4th or 5th grade when he moved to White Chapel. Sarah and Erica met in their freshman year, having been bonded over the lack of friends and their good grades in English and history classes.
You and Rory were a different kind of close. In every universe, you knew you'd met each other, one way or another. He was the funny, dim-witted vampire who was still a geek even through his transformation into puberty and vampirism. You, on the other hand, remain the second half of his comedy troupe, the smart and level-headed companion he needed to keep him mentally stable through all these new, weird things he was going through. He'd forever be 15 while you grew older, something you weren't too worried about right now.
You remembered like it was yesterday when you shared a first kiss for "practice." It was practice, really, Rory wanted to know how to kiss before he tried asking Erica out. However, for you, that was the problem. You didn't want it to be practice for him to be able to woo over Erica.
There was no doubt that Erica, the tall, blonde, vampire, was hot. Hell, if you weren't already head over heels for the younger blonde, you'd totally date her. But, that was the whole thing, he had googly eyes for Erica and you just solemnly looked at him with love stuck in yours like a curse.
But, of course, Rory hadn't learned about the phrase "you don't know what you have until you lose it." He wasn't expecting to lose you, nor was he aware that he even had you wrapped around his finger.
During the final fight with Vice Principal Stern, you'd gotten hurt, and hid it from your friends ; you saved White Chapel for good, ridding the town of evil. You didn't want to sour the mood about a wound that would heal itself, and you didn't want your friends worrying about something so small that'd disappear in time.
Stern hit you with a purplish magenta light-beam from his staff, leaving a very painful, burn-looking wound on your side. Over time, it didn't heal like you hoped it would, if anything it only looked worse, like your skin was decaying.
You had it wrapped up nearly 24/7 to prevent infection, the grey-ish skin was pruney and nasty looking from the amount of moisture. You'd only been living through the pain thanks to a lot of Tylenol, which you probably took a little bit too much of sometimes on accident. The center of the wound was a weird purple color, like a bruise, and it branched off like veins almost. It ran down your hip and up your torso, a grey color, acting as if you were a rotting corpse or something.
The theory was that it'd heal over time or completely disappear after a way since Stern was gone. But obviously, those were both incorrect.
You touch the wound, feeling a sharp pain radiate through the area as you pull your fingers away with a grimace. Your next idea was to ask Benny for a potion or something to help it go away. I mean, he had to have had some wound-dissolving spell or potion laying around somewhere, he was a witch for Christ's sake. It shouldn't be too hard to just ask for one.
That was easier said than done, however. He and Ethan wanted to know what it was for before he made it, and they wouldn't stop pressing after you said it was nothing. They eventually figured you out though, having been the first to notice and point out the veins spreading up to your collarbone and shoulders while you were all hanging out at Ethan's after school.
You kept telling them you were just tired and you had a cold, etcetera etcetera, the past few months, but after a while, they started to wonder why you were only looking worse. Then they persuaded you to just show them so they could help. You complied, showing them the wound you acquired from the final battle with Vice Principal Stern.
Ethan is the first to speak, quickly questioning you, "Dude, when and where did you get that?"
"Fighting Stern a couple of months ago." You shrug nonchalantly as you try your best to force your eyes open to stay awake, "Look, I just need something to make this heal or disappear, okay?"
Benny and Ethan share a worried look, barely able to look at your wound without cringing in disgust and the pain they felt for you.

Within another agonizing week, Sarah, Erica, and of course, Rory, had found out as well. So much for secrets.
All that week, no amount of drugs or spells or potions could help your condition whatsoever. You would frequently throw up and would have to skip class to go to the nurses office or sit in the bathroom while your stomach twisted and turned inside of you. Rory tried helping you as much as he could, carrying your things and flying you straight home after school, but it didn't help much, neither did the magical help from Benny and his grandma, it was like you were immune to it at this point.
You lay in bed on your side, a trashcan accompanying you for any biohazards. The veins now climbed up your neck, your shoulders, and down your legs, your eyes were made heavy by suitcase sides bags under your eyes, it felt like your eyes were swollen, yet they weren't. Rory sits beside you, one hand rubbing your shoulder as you mindlessly babble on, his other hand holding an ice pack to your forehead as you experience heat flashes.
The four other teens stand outside your closed bedroom door, trying to think of any ways to help you. They wanted to convince your parents to take you to the doctors, but how would you explain the massive wound on your side. And how would you explain that you were now a walking corpse acting like a shitty father after a trip to the bar?
"Y'know, Rory, I've always liked you, like, like-liked you" You giggle, ruffling his hair. "You're adorable"
Rory lightly smiles, not taking your words to heart.
"Really, please listen to me, R" You quickly place your hands on his cheeks, cupping his face, "I like you. And I know you don't like me back and shit, you like Erica and you're constantly talking about it, but I want it off my chest before this stupid thing probably kills me or starves me out of my body"
The blonde boy blinks a few times, and wraps you in a hug. "I'm sorry" He mumbles, remembering the fact you were definitely on your last limb here, "You're the best, most awesome friend I could ever ask for, so you're not gonna die! Wait- could I turn you into a vampire and save you? Would that work?"
You shrug, not wanting to get too excited, I mean, the others probably already thought of that and imagined a bad outcome.
The four walk back in to see you resting your head on Rory's lap, probably sleeping as he speaks up, his speech moving a million miles an hour.
"What if we turn them into a vampire? Would that work? I mean, they'd become immortal, right?"
The four look to each other and shrug, positivity shining through their worried expressions.
"Did they say they wanted to try it?" Sarah asks, "It's a big devotion... I mean, this is literally life changing, maybe for the better"
Rory nodded, "They said to ask you"
Sarah nods down, looking at you, "Ask them, I'll be downstairs, I'm gonna make them some tea" She lightly smiles, dragging Erica along with her.
Rory shakes your shoulder with no response, your cheeks pale as the veins quickly crawl up your face. He gets a little more aggressive with it, calling your name, the fear showing in his voice.
"Y/n, Y/n, Y/n? Y/n? Y/n!"
Ethan stands frozen, seeing your entire face begin to be engulfed by the weird infection. Benny begins shouting for Sarah and Erica, sprinting down the stairs as quickly as possible. The blonde turns you face up, seeing blood trail out from your nose.
You were totally limp in his arms, a sense of calmness painting your face instead of the now usual pained and tired look. You seemed peaceful laying there while your whole body is painted in a spider web like pattern.
"Y/n/n, please, wake up! I can help you!"
No response, your chest wasn't even slowly rising or falling anymore, you were just a limp, heavy body laying on him.
Tears prick at the blonde's eyes as he stares at your relaxed features, wishing that just maybe he'd thought a little sooner.
Maybe if he just thought of that a little sooner, then you'd be okay.

The Queen's Secret Masterlist
Tumblr media
Rory told the King’s Advisor that the Queen was feeling slightly under the weather. She didn’t want him to call the doctor or anything, but just enough of an excuse to explain why Y/n wasn’t coming down to eat with everyone and why she wasn’t going into the garden to paint or read or lie in the grass like he’d gotten used to her doing.
Rory brought the food up to her and Harry rather than having anyone else on staff do it. It would only work for so long, the cover. But it was good enough for the first few days.
Harry’s appetite had completely returned. Not just for food, but for sex. And the Queen was not going to complain. They were free to love, touch, and talk to their heart's content. Their sweet little bubble was bliss and happiness. The Queen didn’t need to leave the confounds of her room when she had her Prince with her. She didn’t want to.
And Harry was out of his mind with delight. They both felt like it was a beautiful dream. This was how life was meant to be. Sweet. Exciting. Fulfilling.
But after three days the Queen knew she needed to start showing her face again. She needed to go back to doing normal things or else the advisor would start to ask questions. And the following week she would have another appointment with a doctor that Edgar selected, followed up with a massage from a therapist on the royal staff. Harry would need to hide elsewhere. So they had some things to talk about. They needed to make realistic plans. They couldn’t just hide in their sweet bubble for all eternity, as wonderful as that sounded.
“This afternoon I’ll be joining the house for dinner. I think it’s best I start getting back to my normal routine,” Y/n spoke as she kissed Harry’s back. He was lying on his stomach nude while the Queen did her morning stretches on the bed next to him. She kneed up to him and hugged his body to her as she let her lips cover the expanse of his back.
Harry put a hand behind himself to grab at her hip and he groaned in protest, “Want you here with me, though. I can’t bear to be away from you my Queen…” Harry teased as he twisted himself around to look at Y/n.
She smiled at him and pushed her fingers into his hair as he rolled to his back so he could see her better.
“Aww… you poor thing. It’ll only be for an hour today. Then tomorrow I need to also go into the garden for a while to do some reading. If I stay cooped up in here with you everyone will begin to wonder what’s going on with me,” she reached to push at his pouting lip and laughed.
Harry stuck his lip out in exaggerated sadness, “Baby… I need you all the time. What will I do without you for an hour?” Harry pulled her down to his chest and sighed.
Harry was mostly joking. He knew this needed to happen. The Queen was right. But he really would have preferred to never leave her presence.
“Well you can read, or take a nap… or sit in the sauna in the bathroom,” Y/n said as she caressed Harry’s cheek with the back of her hand.
Harry turned his face and kissed her palm, “So today already? You can’t wait one more day?”
The Queen pushed herself up closer to Harry so she could kiss his cheek as she shook her head, “Today’s the day, my love.”
And it was the day. Things needed to remain as normal as possible. The Queen wanted to keep Harry around for as long as she could. She knew it couldn’t last forever. This was temporary. The Queen would only be pregnant for so much longer. But for now, this would last as long as she could make it. She would keep him safe and then figure out a way to be with him for good. She couldn’t imagine it any longer to be away from him.
“Harry?” She asked, keeping herself draped over him.
Harry raised his brows, “Mhmm?”
“What do you want after I have her? Do you have a plan? For us?” They had lightly discussed the idea of running off together. But not the details, nor the fallout that would ensue. Harry might not ever see his other children again. Or at least until they were old enough to seek him out themselves later on. Would he be willing to risk that?
Harry sighed and kept his palm on Y/n’s low back, “I don’t have a plan. But I want to be with you. My current arrangement would kill me. I’m only allowed to see the kids once a month. With Gertrude present. For only a few hours. That’s all I get. She said she might allow more one day but…” Harry closed his eyes and clenched his jaw as he considered his words, “I don’t know, my love. I can’t bear to never see them again. But I couldn’t bear to never see you… or her,” he said as he moved his hand toward the side of the Queen’s belly.
 Y/n kept her fingers in his shaggy hair and ran her thumb over his forehead, “Would you want to make a plan? With me?”
Harry opened his eyes and looked at the Queen. He felt so lucky that she wanted him. That she’d finally decided she needed him as much as he needed her. But there was the matter of his other children. It wasn’t an easy choice.
Just as Harry was about to speak Y/n gasped with a big grin and sat up, taking Harry’s palm and placing it at the bottom of her bump, “Feel! She’s moving about!”
Their little growing bean was becoming bigger and stronger. Her foot was kicking and Harry could feel the small movements.
Harry smiled and laughed, “Wow! A dancer!”
Tumblr media
When Y/n returned to her room after dinner she was determined to talk to him about coming up with a plan. Figuring out what they could do to stay together. The more she thought about it, the more she realized she’d give it all up for him. Harry was undoubtedly the love of her life. And she was carrying his child and knew she could give him more children.
Sitting down together near the window she began to speak, not knowing where the conversation would go but just feeling that it all needed to be said.
“I want to be with you. Me, you, the baby. More babies even down the road. But I don’t want this life anymore. I want to walk away from the kingdom and everything. I know you're hesitant about not seeing your children with Gertr-“
Harry dragged her into his arms and kissed her mouth. He knew it would be hard and he hadn’t thought of how to make it work but it was all he wanted. He wanted to be with her despite any consequences. He’d find a way to see his kids if he had to but having Y/n as his without the secrecy and sneaking was a dream come true.
She clutched his shirt as he brushed his tongue over her lips and her tongue and he put a hand on her belly, the other going to the back of her neck.
“I want you,” he spoke in panted words between kisses, “with my whole being,” he pulled her into his lap, making her straddle his thighs, “We’ll find a way, my love.”
Y/n knew they could. Her family would be disappointed. She’d been training for the possibility her whole life and now that she was Queen her family was royalty by proxy. They were already well-to-do and had many contacts in high places but having a daughter married to the King had them set for life. Had generations set for life. But she’d give it all away for Harry. And her family would still love her in the end. It wouldn’t be easy but she only wanted him.
When Harry slowed his kisses and his dick was hard under her thigh she moved back and looked at him, “I’m serious. I meant for this to be a real conversation. To get the ball rolling. We only have so much time, Harry.”
He rubbed his palms over her back and bumped his nose to hers, “I know. I’m sorry. It’s just hearing you say that you want all that with me, more babies?” He moved his face back to look at her and take her face in, her lips, the curve of her nose and her eyebrows, the wispy hairs at her forehead, her pretty eyes that he’d been dreaming of for a long time now looking back at him, “I want you. We’ll make this work no matter what. And I know we need to think about how we are gonna make that happen but I don’t know if there’s any great solution other than to just leave together after you have the baby. Me and you. We’ll just walk out hand in hand and drive off to another place until everyone gets used to the idea that it’s us. No matter what we do, if we have a flawless plan or not, this won’t be easy and there will be a lot of neigh-sayers.”
She knew he was right. No matter how perfectly they planned it all out, it would never be a perfect scenario.
“Just walk out hand-in-hand? You’re crazy you know that? Can you imagine? Me carrying the baby and you with your arms full of baby stuff as we just traipse out of here together and get into a car and drive off into the sunset,” she giggled. That certainly sounded nice. It probably wouldn’t go down like that but what could anyone do? It’s not like they could stop either of them. These weren’t the old days when the Queen could be hung for her insolence. The fallout would be political and personal but they wouldn’t be able to be stopped.
“I’m crazy for you. Let me make love to you. I haven’t had enough of you yet, my Queen. My angel,” he spoke before pressing his mouth over hers once again.
So, there was no real plan in place but the Queen knew it could work, knew it could be done however they wanted to make it happen. No one could stop them and that was the prevailing thought. Even the most perfect plan would still never be a perfect plan.
It had been three blissful days since Harry’s arrival and she could barely keep her hands to herself so she let him make love to her. This time they didn’t even move from the couch by the window. Harry pulled his pants down and the Queen lifted her dress and they moved together slowly with lips attached and gasps of I love you and I need you were whispered into the air.
There was nothing like being fucked by her Prince. They allowed themselves hours to fuck. Long strokes and pauses to stare into each other’s eyes. Harry would come inside of her and then he’d fuck her again when he was hard. He’d finger her and eat her out and she’d lay with her head on his lap and lick his cock, savoring the taste of him, of her on him. It was true bliss. The one she dreamed of now in her arms, in her bed. The father of her baby making love to her slowly and sensually until they fell asleep together, wiped out from sex, from emotion, from happiness.
A bath was in order the following morning. They were messy and smelly after their long session the night before. But it was a quick one as they woke up late because they’d gone to bed sometime in the early morning hours and Y/n’s body needed a little more sleep these days. But despite the bath being quick it was sweet with Harry helping her clean herself and his lips kissing her belly and her arms. Her hormones made her exceptionally horny but the happiness she felt with Harry near her was doing things to her libido as well. Things she’d never expected. She couldn’t get him off her mind. At breakfast and then after in the garden she had a hard time reading her book. She could only think of her strong man back in her room with his green eyes that gazed into her soul and his scruffy unshaven face, his hair a little shaggy, growing longer as he hadn’t had a cut. And even with the bit of hair on his face his dimples still showed when he smiled at her.
“Y/n, you’re feeling better today! It’s nice to see you out in the garden again,” Rory winked and sat down next to her.
Closing her book she sighed and leaned back onto her palms in the grass as she looked up at the blue sky, “I’m feeling fabulous today. But I am getting a little tired. Perhaps I’ll go back in soon,” she looked back at her friend with a knowing grin.
It was nice to have Rory on her side. Her best friend and someone she trusted completely.
“Tomorrow is my day off. Do you need me to stay around here? I know it’ll be a little tricky without my help,” Rory whispered. It was true. Without Rory around getting food to Harry would be a little more difficult but her friend deserved her days off like normal. Especially with how much she had helped them.
“Don’t worry. We’ll figure it out. You’ve been more than generous with all of your help.”
Tumblr media
It had been a whole week. The Queen's doctor's appointment and massage were scheduled so Harry knew he’d be hidden in the linen closet for quite some time that day.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine,” he kissed her forehead as Rory stood by the door ready to lead Harry to his hiding spot until the coast was clear. The appointments would take place in her room as all of them had before. Plus It was more private.
“I know. I just feel bad that we need to do this,” she spoke as she rubbed her knuckles along his scruffy jaw.
Harry put his hands over hers and kissed her lips, “Worth it.”
Her morning was busy. A quick breakfast and then ushering Harry off into hiding before meeting with her doctor for a check-up followed up by a much-needed massage.
But before her massage was even finished the Queen heard a familiar voice that had her sitting up and with her hand held out to the masseuse, “Hold on…”
She listened closely and heard his voice in the hallway coming closer. Grasping the sheet close to her body she held her breath as the door opened and there he was. Edgar. The King of Manon. Her husband. Whom she hadn’t seen in nearly two months.
“My wife! There she is!” Edgar spoke loudly as he drew closer with Rory and another woman following behind closely.
Y/N dropped her mouth open, not quite sure how to respond. He hadn’t given her any heads up that he was coming. He hadn’t told anyone.
“What are you doing here? I hadn’t expected you,” Y/N spoke as Edgar gave her a friendly side hug before patting her sheet-covered bump.
“I wanted to come and see how things were going. Figured a night away from Manon would be nice. It’s so beautiful out here. And… oh! This is Lulu, my new assistant,” the King waved toward the woman who was standing to his left.
Y/n smiled at the girl who was near her own age, but far less pregnant, or rather, not pregnant at all, “Nice to meet you, Lulu.”
Looking toward Rory, Y/n realized there was something Rory wanted to say. She’d ask her later.
“Oh! Nice to meet you, Queen!”
A nice girl.
Y/n looked at Edgar once again and nodded toward the door, “Do you mind? I’d like to put on some clothes and then we can take tea in the sunroom.”
Tumblr media
The Queen got herself dressed as Rory helped her with her buttons, “Lulu seems like a little more than an assistant. I mean, I can’t be sure but I’ve got a pretty good read on people, Y/n.”
Y/n remained silent as she listened. It wouldn’t surprise her if Edgar did decide to take a mistress. It was unusual in the modern kingdom, and if exposed would be a scandal, but it’s not like she could complain. And she wouldn’t anyway. Besides, she was sure the King knew about how she felt about Harry – he was looking the other way so as to keep up appearances with the kingdom and he knew she would as well.
Rory was sent to let Harry know of the situation at the Queen’s request after walking her to the sunroom.
Tea was served shortly after the Queen sat down on the chaise across from the King and Lulu.
“So you’re our new assistant?” Y/n broke the silence in the room as she eyed the pretty girl.
“Yes! Well, Edgar’s assistant,” Lulu turned her head to look at Edgar, “I didn’t know… Am I also to be her assistant as well?”
Edgar chuckled and patted her knee, “Yes, dear. Once she has the baby you’ll be answering to us both. But for now, you’re of more use to me. She’s got Rory at her aid now.”
Y/n nodded at his response. She wasn’t dumb. The girl was looking at Edgar like he was her whole world. The Queen had never even looked at him that way.
It was a relief that Y/n wasn’t asked too many questions. Edgar was clearly distracted by his new plaything. And even though there was not an ounce of jealousy in her bones, the obvious insult was not overlooked. It was likely this was a show on purpose. To see how far he could push it. Edgar was upset about the whole thing, Y/n realized. And he liked having the upper hand. This was his way of subtly showing to the Queen that he was still in charge. That he could do what he wanted if her heart was no longer his. Her heart had never really belonged to the King to begin with.
“Will you be sleeping with me this evening? I can have Rory bring in extra pillows…”
“No. That’s not necessary. I’ll sleep down here in the large suite that overlooks the garden. You need all the space you can get right now,” Edgar gestured to her belly and then looked over at Lulu who appeared to be needing some kind of reassurance.
Y/n pulled her lips into her mouth. So he brought his mistress to the estate and had planned on them sleeping together in the same house as his wife. She was insulted. But she would keep quiet and Edgar knew she would. Her immediate concern was Harry. Having the King here at the same time as Harry was very risky, though luckily Edgar was rather preoccupied with Lulu.
“Splendid. I’ll have a room set for Lulu then. The nice one that looks out the front toward the orchard. No one is staying in that wing.” Y/n was being cheeky. She wanted to see the look on Lulu’s face. She was aware of what was going on but would play dumb if that was what Edgar wanted.
The Queen wasn’t actually concerned about where Lulu stayed. She could go and stay with the King and they could fuck and make a racket for all she cared. She only wanted to get a rise from the girl. See what her response would be to staying in the lonely wing away from Edgar.
“Oh! But, I’m Edgar’s assistant. I should be staying close by. You know… just in case-” she stopped speaking when the king put his hand at her knee to indicate as much.
“What on earth would he need you for while he’s sleeping? I’m sure you don’t need to be on call all night, my dear. Besides, there isn’t another room nearby Edgar’s that’s unoccupied.”
Lulu looked at the King as she worried her lip between her teeth. Y/n was ready to burst out in laughter.
Edgar gave Y/n a sharp look and then spoke, “Lulu will love any room she’s set up in.”
The Queen nodded and smiled and looked down over her belly as she changed the subject, “The doctor has said I’m very healthy. The baby is as well. Everything is going very smoothly. I’m thankful for my health.”
“Good to hear. You look very well. This place seems to have been very good for you. You’re simply glowing.”
Y/n smiled, knowing she was extra relaxed and content lately. But that was mostly due to having Harry with her and the many many orgasms she’d been given since his arrival. Perhaps that was the glow he was talking about.
Rory entered the room and leaned over Y/n speaking quietly, “Harry is back in your room. We’ll have dinner ready in an hour. I’ll bring a tray up to him but if you want to go now to get yourself ready…”
The Queen stood up and looked at the King and Lulu, “Well, I must go and get ready for dinner. I was in the middle of my massage when you two arrived and I haven’t had a chance to freshen up. I’ll see you in an hour. If you’ll excuse me.”
Harry was seated by the window when the Queen entered her room.
“I heard he’s here.”
Y/n nodded and crossed the room to her handsome man, “Yes. With a young woman in tow.”
Harry stood up and pulled her into his arms, “A young woman?”
“Yes. Her name is Lulu. He’ll be preoccupied with her so don’t worry too much. But right now I need a bath.”
Harry drew a bath for her, putting bubbles in the tub, and helping her out of her dress. He took his own clothes off and climbed into the tub behind her.
She leaned into his chest, lying her head back onto his shoulder as they spoke quietly. Hespoke into her ear, his deep slow drawl soothing and sexy all at once.
Harry’s hands roamed over her shoulders and down her arms and around to her belly, “Love that you’re pregnant with my baby and that you’re taking such good care of her. I love you, Y/n.”
She sighed and smiled, placing her hands over Harry’s, “I love it too. Love that this baby is ours.”
Harry kissed her lobe and brushed his hands up over her tits, thumbing at her nipple, and then lowered his mouth to her neck.
She could feel his thick cock behind her, already full, and engorged. Ready for some action. Which seemed to be pretty constant since he’d arrived the week before.
“Harry… we can’t. I need to be downstairs in one piece in twenty minutes.”
He groaned and continued kissing her neck softly. He knew she was right. When they had sex they liked to take their time nowadays. Never wanting to repeat their quick sessions again if they could help it.
Chuckling, Y/n turned her face to capture his lips and lowered her hand behind her back, and began to stroke him slowly, “Wanna come before I go downstairs? I bet I can make you come and I’ll still have time to get dressed and make it to dinner before anyone notices a thing.
“Heeeyy…” Harry protested, “What’s that supposed to mean?” He put his hands at her ribs and poked his fingers in warning.
“It just means you always come so easily for me. Such a good boy, aren’t you?” She was teasing him but she was also pretty sure she could make him come quickly. Turning on her knees and facing him, she sat back onto her haunches and kept stroking him. She brought one of his hands up to her tits to encourage him to play with them.
Harry spread his thighs and leaned back as he used both hands to squeeze and massage at her breasts, “I should be insulted but you feel so good and you’re so fucking hot, Y/n… of course you make me come so easy. M’like a teenager around you,” Harry spoke as he gritted his teeth while Y/n pumped him, the water sloshing around the movement.
Y/n reached behind her and unhooked the tub stop so the water slowly began to drain. She intended on having him come in her mouth. Wanted the pleasure of going down to dinner in front of the King and his mistress, not only carrying Harry’s baby but having his come in her tummy.
Harry gripped the edge of the tub and leaned his head back when he felt himself get close, “Gonna fuck you so good when you get back from dinner,” Harry was panting his words as precome began to pool over his tip.
“I can’t wait,” Y/n grinned at him and then lowered her free hand to his scrotum like she knew he liked and gently massaged.
Harry’s deep moan came out a little too loud, “Shh… my love. Keep quiet.”
Harry clenched his jaw and licked his lips as he looked at his Queen. The water had drained from the tub and he knew that having her on her knees must hurt so he put his hand over hers, “Here,” he said, standing up and helping her along with him to the bed.
She was thankful that he was so thoughtful. Her knees were fine but she was sure another a few minutes and they’d have been sore and bruised.
Harry lay on the bed and Y/n settled between his legs. But this time, the soft surface under her knees made it easier to bend down and take him into her mouth.
He sucked in a sharp breath as he watched the Queen give him head and keep her eyes on his. She was always so good.
And of course, with his balls being stroked gently and his cock being sucked and swallowed around Harry came down her throat. He threw his arm over his mouth and bit into the skin to keep himself quiet. They’d both gotten pretty good at being very quiet.
Harry jerked his hips up and his cock slid deeper down her throat causing her to gag and pull back a little as she swallowed his salty come down.
Harry quickly put his fingers into her hair and helped lift her off, “Sorry, Y/n. Didn’t mean to do that,” he smiled as she laughed and shook her head.

Dinner was roasted vegetables and seared salmon. The King and Lulu drank red wine and Y/n had sparkling mineral water with lemon. The baby was jumping around at the meal and the drink in her belly to which she placed her hand over the movement and smiled to herself. She was close to saying something to Edgar about it but decided she didn’t want to share the lovely moment with him. These things were only for Harry and her good friend Rory nowadays. The King wouldn’t get the privilege.
“Are you feeling better?” Lulu asked as she happily sipped her wine.
Y/n furrowed her brow in confusion, “What do you mean? I’ve felt just wonderful lately.”
“Oh. You were so bright red and flushed when you got here for dinner. I thought you might have overworked yourself. “
Y/n raised her eyebrows and rubbed over her bump as she nodded. She was flushed when she arrived at dinner because she’d just finished off her lover in her mouth and was turned on quite a lot, “Oh. Yes. Sometimes I struggle to put on my clothes. And I’d just had a warm bath so that could be why. But I’m just fine. Thank you so much for your concern.”
“Tomorrow I was thinking of taking Lulu to the Pasteur with the horses that’s up the road. Have you visited since you’ve been here?”
Shaking her head no she spoke, “Of course not. I’m not allowed to leave the estate. Those were your rules.”
Lulu paused her motion as she was about to take a bite and looked from the Queen to Edgar but kept quiet. Yes, that’s right, Lulu. The King has forbidden his pregnant wife from outside contact. That is the kind of man you’re dealing with. Y/n thought to herself smugly.
The dessert was lemon chiffon pie. A request from the Queen. She’d done it on purpose. She knew Edgar despised it.
Another bottle of wine was served for the King and his mistress while Y/n sipped tea and enjoyed the dessert.
“I hope you do find the accommodations to your liking. I’ve never actually slept in the bed you’ll be in, Edgar, but the view of the garden is lovely. I’m sure Lulu will love the view as well. Undoubtedly you already have plans to show her the room anyway before leaving tomorrow.”
The King stared at Y/n and if looks could kill…
“But, anyway… I’m exhausted. The baby would like some rest and I’ve had a long day,” the Queen spoke as she stood up and looked at Lulu, “It was so lovely to meet you. What a wonderful thing you’re doing taking care of Edgar while I’m away. I’m sure he’s as happy as a clam, he sure seems very pleased.” She shifted her sight to Edgar and dropped her smile before turning to head back to her room.
Opening the door to her prince charming was always such a welcoming sight. The man could do no wrong. No matter what he was doing when she walked in. And this time he was doing pushups with his hair pulled back in one of her silk scrunchies. His shirt was off and he was already beginning to sweat. She wondered if he’d done it on purpose, just for her.
He sat back onto his knees with a grin as she strolled over to him and put her hands down to cup his face, tilting his head to look up at her, “Getting a workout in?”
Harry wrapped his strong arms around the back of her thighs, those dimples she adored cutting into his cheeks, pink lips curving up, “Well what does it look like I’m doing? Haven’t really been working out much lately. In fact, no real workouts since I left Manon. Figured I needed to keep up with you a little. You’ll get tired of me otherwise. M’getting’ soft.”
Snorting a laugh as Harry stood up she shook her head, “You? Soft? And I can’t tell that you haven’t worked out. You’re just naturally fit I guess. Good genes and all,” she raised her brows and put her hands on her tummy.
Harry put his hands over hers, “Yeah. Good genes.”
Y/n slid her hands up his chest, feeling his warm skin and muscled pecs on her way up, “So… you promised me a little something earlier,” she raised a brow.
“Oh did I? Hmm… And what was that?”
Y/n pursed her lips and hummed, “I believe your words were something along the lines of you were going to fuck me so good after I get back from dinner.”
Harry laughed and pushed his mouth to hers in a quick smack before pulling away, “Sounds delicious. Let me just take a quick shower-“
“Oh no you don’t. I want you just like this,” she said bringing her hands back over his slightly damp pecs.
Harry pulled his lips into his mouth and walked her backward to the bed as he kept his eyes on hers, “Then take your dress off my Queen. Let me see those big tits.”
His smirk was playful as he pulled his shorts down and started stroking himself. He watched her remove her clothes and his cock plumped up quickly at the sight of his pregnant Queen. When her breasts were freed from her bra he moaned and hastened his hand to pump himself to his tip. She was gorgeous. He’d never grow tired of looking at her, pregnant or not.
She was laid back into the bed gently as Harry moved over her body, his lips on her nipples and her bump and cunt.
“Already soaked, sweet girl,” Harry said running his fingers through her labia.
She nodded quickly, “Yes. Just fuck me, Harry. God, I need your cock or I’m gonna burst.”
Harry chuckled and tilted his head to look down at her, “Well, would hate for the Queen burst. Better give her what she wants.”
Harry laid down on his back and pulled her over him so she could sit and grind herself down on him. She loved hanging onto his pecs as she rode him gently, swaying her hips up and down, rocking her pelvis into his so her clit was being stimulated the whole time.
Harry squeezed her breasts in his hand as she rolled her hips and moaned. It was a delight to have him filling her and touching her. Having him every day for a week was doing wonders for her mental health, and probably her physical health too.
“Fuck, look at you, Y/n. Carrying my baby and riding my cock. You’re mine aren’t you?”
Y/n moaned and bit her lip as she nodded. She had to keep her volume down but Harry always felt so good and the way he talked to her in bed always made her toes curl. She sucked in a sharp breath when he bucked up into her, rocking his hips softly, “Yes. I love you. I’m yours, Harry.”
A small whimper fell from Harry’s mouth as he continued thrusting up into her. She was so wet and gripping his big cock just how he liked. But even with her pussy gripping him like it was, the sound was sloppy as they moved together.
“God I love you. Wanna get you pregnant again right after you have my first baby. Just keep knocking you up, fuck my come into you every night…” his words were strained as he spoke as quietly as possible.
“Yes! God… Fuck, Harry…” She widened her eyes and covered her mouth with one hand, looking at Harry who was chuckling, “shit that was loud.”
“If you want, we can do it like we did yesterday morning when the housekeeper was just in the hallway outside of the room.”
She grinned and lowered her hand from her mouth, “Actually, that sounds fantastic.”
Carefully, she pulled herself up and moved off of Harry, lying on her side as Harry moved in behind to spoon her. He lifted Y/n’s thigh, holding at the soft flesh underneath as he slid his cock back into position. He spoke quietly into her ear as he pushed himself inside of her, “There we go. Gonna fuck you like this, m’love. Make you cream all over my cock again. Ooh, fuck squeezing me so good baby. Just like that…” Harry closed his eyes as he bottomed out and positioned them so he could bring his hand to her mouth to keep her quiet just like they did the day before.
Y/n had been extra needy and she couldn’t wait til evening to have him. So she begged him and promised she’d be quiet even though the housekeeper was cleaning the hallway and the bathroom just feet from where she and Harry were. So he fucked her nice and slow and kept his hand over her mouth so the only noise coming from the room had been the subtle creaking of the bed.
When his palm covered her mouth she moved her own hand down to rub at her clit slowly as Harry plunged into her and pulled out to his tip, rolling his hips just right to get nice and deep.
Harry’s deep voice kept whispering into her ear, “You feel so good. Love how wet you get for me and how you’re so desperate for my cock. Love getting filled up with me don’t you?” His lips brushed against the back of her ear and she was already so far gone and moaning into his hand with abandon. Her noises were muffled as Harry panted and grunted quietly.
Her thighs were soaked. She’d made such a mess of herself once again and the sound of Harry’s cock plunging into her wet pussy was erotic and dirty.
He could feel her fingers brushing against his cock and then his balls as he pushed in further the way her fingers were rubbing at her clit. He knew her hand had to be wet with how everything between them was sticky with her arousal.
“Gonna come on my cock, love? Can feel your pussy clenching around me, your thighs are shaking. Let me feel you, Y/n.”
She was already coming before he finished speaking, her body tensing and her thighs beginning to close but Harry moved his leg between hers to keep her spread apart as he continued fucking into her.
Harry felt his balls tighten with his own orgasm. Her walls were pulsing around him and she was so wet and warm, “I’m gonna fill you up, Y/n. Fffuck, baby…”
Harry jerked his hips, reaching himself as far as his cock could go, and gasped as he moved his hand off the Queen’s mouth and held her thigh so he could use his thighs to continue working himself in and out as her cunt squeezed around him and milked his cock of every last drop of his come.
Moving her hand off her clit she reached around behind her to hold onto his forearm as he slowed his movements and let her leg fall down. Bringing his arm over her moved his hand over her breast and kissed her shoulder, “I love you. Love being with you. Would stay trapped inside this one room for the rest of my life if it meant being with you.”
Y/n laughed and turned her head, moving her body just enough that she could look over her shoulder at him, “Luckily you won’t have to do that. One day soon we’ll be able to be together without having to be trapped in a bedroom. Isn’t it funny that it’s been us in a bedroom alone together since the beginning? Only now we have more time. Can fall asleep next to one another, brush each other’s hair, make love all day long, watch movies, have long conversations… Actually, now that I think about it… being trapped in a room with you is pretty amazing.”
Harry squeezed her hip and pulled her in, lifting his head to kiss her. It was amazing. From the moment he first saw her again a week ago he knew this time would be different. There would be no going back from this. He would do everything he could to make sure that they ended up together.

Lie To Me-part two-(Irene (OC) x John Shelby x Tommy Shelby)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Irene has been seeing John Shelby for a year now on and off. In John's absence, Irene begins to feel a pull towards Tommy.
Warnings: (MINORS DNI, 18+) smuuuut, swearing, drinking, MMF (slightly))
The next few days, all I could think about was my night spent with Tommy. It was refreshing to not be constantly thinking about what John was up to. I was getting ready to close up shop at work with one of the tailors I worked alongside with. It wasn’t hard to find work near Small Heath a year ago, with my background in dressmaking. This small fitting shop on the outskirts of Small Heath was owned by an older man, Rory. He was the closest tailer to town. I offered him my services a year ago and we have been working together to help both men and women now. I love the work I do, even though it was a bit of a walk to get there every day. 
I was sitting in the back work station alone, putting some finishing touches on an evening gown I had been working on for months now. It was a long and fitted forest green with golden lining. I held the dress up, marveling at the work I had done. Pulling my bottom lip in, I worried it wasn’t fancy enough for the socialite woman I was making it for. I decided to find Rory to ask him. 
‘Roryyyyyy….’ I sang casually as I made my way to the front of the building, dress in hands. I waltzed into the main area, to find a much younger and dashing man instead. I gasped a bit in surprise, not expecting to see Tommy standing alone, hands placed casually in the pockets of his perfectly tailored gray suit. Rory must’ve left for the day it was getting dark soon. 
‘Evening Thomas...’ I managed to squeak out as he smiled lightly a me. 
‘What’s that you have?’ he asked gesturing to the long gown. I looked down and back at him. ‘Oh…a dress I’ve been working on forever. Supposed to be picked up in the morning…’ My voice trailed off as my eyes fell back down on the dress. I studied it a few seconds longer before looking back at him. 
‘Want a second opinion?’ He asked, seemingly sensing that I was unsure of my work. I smiled walking closer to him. I laid the dress down on a longer table for him to examine. I watched as his eyes scrunched up and studied the dress. He let his fingers brush over the shimmery green fabric, looking back up at me with those sparkling eyes. 
‘I hope whoever is wearing it paid you well enough. It’s very beautiful, Irene. Then again, I’m no dressmaker so my opinion might not mean much to you.’ 
My face bloomed with color at his approval and a wide smile crept up my face. 
‘No, no it means a lot coming from you! Thank god, I’ve been in my head about it all,’ I giggled, grabbing the dress and placing it behind the front counter.
‘What’re you doing here anyways? I know you don’t come here for your fancy suites.’ I questioned, grabbing my jacket from behind the front door. 
‘No, I don’t. I was coming to see you, actually.’ My heart was fluttering at this point. His eyes never wavered from mine as he spoke. I stood there at a loss for words.
 ‘Arthur is throwing Polly a birthday party as the Garrison tonight. I wanted to extend the invitation. Polly has always liked having you around.’ I nearly fainted. John would most definitely be there too. My mouth went dry but I tried to conceal my nerves. 
‘I’d love to, thank you for thinking of me, Tommy.’ 
                                 -------------------------------------
Walking up the cobbled sidewalks towards the Garrison, I clutched the small giftbox in my sweaty palms. It didn’t take long for me to hear the vibrato of instruments playing from inside. Muffled sounds of people yelling and laughing were nearly pouring out of the wide double doors. I didn’t know what the hell I was supposed to be wearing, so I just wore a simple black dress that hugged my frame nicely and hung off my shoulders, exposing my neck and chest. A simple pearl necklace hung from my neck, accentuating my cleavage nicely. I chose to leave my hair down in its natural wavy state. My lips were covered in a light shade of red that matched my blushed cheeks. 
‘Irene!’ A familiar feminine but strong voice yelled immediately after I entered the bright and lively bar. 
I smiled wide as I drew her into a hug. “Happy Birthday! God, you look gorgeous in that dress!’ 
Her beautifully crooked smile made my heart swell. Her presence was always breathtaking. Her fire-red dress glimmered off of the twinkling chandeliers in the room. 
‘Thank you, love! You look stunning, as always. I was so happy to hear from Tommy that you were coming!’ 
I smiled, handing her the small box I had been carrying. A red bow rested on top. 
‘Oh, dear that was not necessary!’ Her laugh was cut off by a gasp when she opened the box. Resting inside was a sparkling hair comb that was studded in white rhinestones. I had stayed a little later at the shop after Tommy had invited me tonight. I decided to quickly make something small and elegant for Polly, something I knew she’d appreciate. 
‘Did you make this?!’ I giggled and shook my head yes. 
‘I’ll definitely have to keep this hidden from Ada, its beautiful! I hope it didn’t take up too much time?’ She asked me, concerned. 
‘It was no trouble at all, Polly! Happy birthday again! I need to grab a drink, I’ll see you soon, yeh?’
‘You surely will, dear!’ She sang as she drunkenly but confidently pushed through the tall crowd of eyeing men. 
I made my way past the lumps of people, finally making it to the end of the bar. I took my glass in hand and rounded back through the bar just to be shoved face first into John’s chest. His eyes were surprisingly bright with interest, not glazed over from drinking. 
Instinctively, I smiled up at his dazzling features. His hair was slicked back, unmoving and a toothpick hung from the end of his splitting smile. There were so many people around that we were practically squished together. I was suddenly very aware of the height difference between us. I was nearly 5’2’’. He was looking down at me in a hungry way.
‘You look very handsome tonight, Mr. Shelby.’ I giggled as his greedy hands swiveled around my wide hips, squeezing all of me between his fingers in a way that might have been inappropriate in this crowded bar. I couldn’t care less. We rarely saw each other outside of my dark flat. I was practically melting in his strong arms, I loved that he was being affectionate in front of his friends and colleagues. It made me feel special, stupidly. 
‘And you look good enough to taste, love.’ He whispered in my ear before planting a soft and quick kiss to the exposed skin on my neck. I was so responsive to him, it was embarrassing. I couldn’t help how my back arched towards him slightly; he was intoxicating to be around. 
I attempted to laugh in order to play off how tightly wound up I was. 
‘You’ll have to work for that from now on.’ I shot him a wicked grin before turning on my heels back to the bar. John was on my heels, though, which is what I wanted. Somehow, through the crowd of people, he jumped in front of me, stopping me in my path.
‘Listen, I tried to stop by. But I got stuck at the bloody fights with Arthur. He was so fucking drunk. I couldn’t leave him there alone. I would’ve stopped by if I could’ve.’ He said all this while holding his hands gently in mine. His eyes were waiting for an answer, to forgive him, like I always do so easily. 
‘You could’ve told me that days ago.’ I sighed out.
‘Yes, I should’ve, but I’m an arse and didn’t. Forgive me?’ He pleaded, pouting his bottom lip out. 
I took a sip of my drink before placing it back onto the bar, getting a good look at him now. I didn’t want to think about my complicated feelings for John or how he blew me off. The only thing I could think about was how badly I needed him to touch me. “Let’s have this conversation another time, yeh? I want to have fun tonight.’ You said before shoving a drink at him. 
He studied me for a few seconds, before letting go of the protest in his mind. ‘Fine by me, love.’ He laughed before downing his drink. 
An hour had passed and John couldn’t keep his hands off of me, which I didn’t mind. We sat at the bar and the conversation and jokes came naturally, like they always do. On the other side of the bar though, I could feel Tommy’s eyes watching me. Every time I looked up at him from the opposite end of the bar, his eyes were already on me. Shyly, I always looked away. But I was now several shots in. I didn’t want to admit that I liked his eyes on me. God what is wrong with me? I finally get John’s attention and now I can’t stop thinking about him and his brother?
John was shouting at the bartender about more shots and joking around with the other men sitting near us. I took the moment to lift my eyes up to meet Tommy’s, and I almost floated over to him before stopping myself. His intense stare never broke. He chuckled from across the bar as I instinctively nibbled my bottom lip at my wandering thoughts. God, what I would let that man do to me.
Breaking me out of my thoughts, I felt John’s warm hand slide up my thigh, eating me up with his eyes. My skin broke out in goosebumps and my breath hitched. I could still feel him watching us from across the room. 
John’s eyebrows creased in question, until he found where my line of vision kept wandering off to. He shot a devilish look back at me. 
‘Tommy told me about his little visit with you the other night.’ Shit. My heart fucking sank. 
I sat there in silence, not knowing what to say in order to keep John from completely freaking out and causing a scene. I wondered why he hadn’t already if he had known Tommy came over,
To my surprise, he started to giggle, sensing the rigidness in my body. To my surprise, he lifted my chin up and planted a sweet but passionate kiss to my lips, knowing that his brother was looking. I couldn’t help the satisfied whimper coming from the back of my throat that only John could’ve heard. I was melting in his hands. He pulled back and smiled. ‘Stop worrying, Irene. You’re a free woman, you can do as you please…whether that’s me or my brother…or both of us.’ 
My hand clamped down on his thigh, squeezing it in comfort. ‘John…nothing happened with me and Tommy.’ He smiled down at me cheekily, already sensing the hesitation in my voice. He already knew exactly how I felt about Tommy. 
‘That doesn’t mean you didn’t want something to happen. Doesn’t even mean it won’t happen eventually’ he leaned in to whisper, ‘Is that what you want, love? You want the both of us? It’s written all over you. You’re such a greedy girl.’ He giggled in a haunting way as his fingers brushed the exposed skin on my arm. The room seemed to spin and I couldn’t believe the words coming out of John’s mouth. I never would’ve expected John, the most possessive man alive right next to his brothers, would be ok with sharing. 
‘What’re you two love birds whispering about?’ Tommy’s low voice boomed from behind us. My eyes shot up to meet his beautiful blue eyes. 
‘Tommy! Perfect timing, brother. We were just talking about you.’ Tommy’s eyebrows curved in curiousity. 
‘Yeh? What about me?’ He sat on the stool next to me, placing me right between the two of them. 
‘I think Irene’s got a little crush on you!’ He yell-whispered to Tommy sarcastically across from me. I shoved his arm harshly to hide the glow on my cheeks. 
‘Jesus John!’ I scolded, making the both of them chuckle in an eerily calm and collected way. Had they already talked about this together? 
‘Is that true, Irene?’ Tommy laughed.
I shoved my face into my hands in embarrassment. “I’m not drunk enough for this.’ I sighed.
A strong hand found its way to the small of my back, making me straighten out. Only, the hand that was rubbing small circles into my back was Tommy’s, not Johns. 
My eyes shot between the both of them in shock. 
‘How about John and I walk you back home, hm? Is that ok with ya?’ Both of their eyes were planted on me, not bothering to notice the entire mob of people around us. My hands grew clammy and my red cheeks bled down my chest.
‘I’d like that.’ 
------------------
The walk back to my place was short. Full of constant laughter and chatter. John annoyed Tommy the whole way there and I couldn’t help but admire the way they bickered back and forth. I never got to see the two of them together like this, so playful. Tommy always had a layer of seriousness, but some of those walls seemed to crash down in John’s company. It was hard to be in a bad mood with him around. 
As we approached the front door of my flat, I turned to face them, they both stood shoulder to shoulder, waiting for me to speak. I had a feeling on how this night was going to play out and I couldn’t miss the opportunity. I didn’t want the night to end. I’d love to live in this tipsy and light state forever. 
‘You’re coming inside, aren’t you? Or is it past your bedtimes?’ I giggled as I fiddled with the keys and doorknob. 
John threw his head back and clutched the front of his coat dramatically. ‘Christ, I thought you’d never ask!’ He laughed before pushing past Tommy and through the front door. 
All three of us sat around my kitchen table playing cards and drinking for a while. The tension would’ve been air tight if it wasn’t for John breaking the ice by making jokes all night. I couldn’t ignore all of the small touches both Tommy and John were giving me. Tommy’s hand would brush across my back occasionally, but nothing more. John was less subtle, sneaking kisses and sitting inches away from me.  
‘I missed you this week, Irene.’ He sighed, leaning forward and pulling my chair forcefully in front of his. As soon as we were practically nose-to-nose, he enveloped me in a searing kiss. His lips moved slowly but no less passionate. His hands slid down my back slowly, stopping at my ass and squeezing lightly. I playfully pushed him off, laughing. Tommy was still seated beside me and John, watching. 
‘John, don’t manhandle me in front of your brother, you’ll make him uncomfortable.’ I half-joked. 
John threw his head back in laughter. ‘Tommy doesn’t get uncomfortable. I’m sure that’s the last thing he’s feeling right now.’ 
I looked back to Tommy who seemed even more angelic up-close. He had shed his jacket and was only in a white button down, his gun holster strapped around his shoulders and chest, showing how large this man actually was. I looked at him in question, never knowing what he was thinking.
‘Come here.’ He said in such a deadly tone that I could never disobey. I looked back at John for a reaction or some sort of protest, but there was none. In fact, he was silent. His eyes seemed to almost turn black as he watched me in anticipation.
I slowly stood up, walking a few steps to stand right above him. His dangerous star made me shiver. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be doing, just standing here in front of him. Sensing my nervousness, Tommy was level to my stomach. His eyes never left mine when he reached up to caress the skin under my dress. As his hand squeezed softly around me, he took note of the way my body relaxed. 
Still sitting lazily in the chair from under me, he used his foot to kick my leg open. All in one motion, he grabbed my hips tightly, and led me to cradle his lap. I yelped slightly, not expecting this all to move so quickly, but I wasn’t upset about it. I was full of excitement which weighed out my nervousness. 
I could hear John moving back and forth in his seat, but all I could focus on right now was how close my face was to Tommy’s. All of my senses were filled with him. I rested my hands on his shoulders as his hands slid up to cup my face before reaching up to kiss me. My body pressed into his chest, instantly feeling addicted to the taste of him and the feeling of his mouth on mine. Sparks shot through my body at every touch and every movement he made. His lips were soft and plump, fighting for dominance. Quickly, his tongue snuck its way into my mouth, teasing me slightly. A loud moan crept up my throat and I could feel Tommy smirk into the kiss, satisfied with the effect he had on me. His hands slid up my back to unzip the back of my dress. 
All too quickly, Tommy pulled away, leaving us both breathless. His eyes were wild and full of desire. I smiled down at him before he spoke. ‘How about we make John watch us play as a punishment for neglecting this needy body.’ 
I heard John chuckle eerily from behind us. I turned my head around and raised a questioning eyebrow at him.
‘No fair! I don’t get to play?’ He whined childishly. 
‘I told you that you’d have to work a little harder from now on.’ I teased at him. 
He slouched back in his chair, spreading his legs a bit farther apart, giving me a challenging look. Finally, he nodded to me in a sort of agreement. 
‘Irene.’ My name coming off Tommy’s lips like this almost put me in a trance. I would do anything he wanted when he said my name like that. 
I stood up, leading Tommy to my bed which was only a few steps from where John was in my tiny flat. As I plopped down, John scooted his chair in the direction of us. 
‘Are you sure you want this?’ He sat beside me on the bed, squeezing my hand lightly. 
I shook my head a bit too eagerly. ‘I trust you.’ His lips crashed back into mine. I was still aware of John’s eyes watching us and the small sounds he was making from his chair. 
Tommy’s hands brushed down my skin as he pushed the rest of my unzipped dress down. Tommy eyed every inch of exposed skin. 
He pushed his holsters off his shoulders swiftly, tossing them the floor. My hands greedily unbuttoned his shirt to expose his tight chest that was sprinkled in small scars and a couple tattoos I didn’t know about. 
My hands fell into his soft hair as he inched down my body, not hesitating when pushing past the fabric covering my pussy. Completely naked now, he pushed my thighs apart, letting both himself and John get a view of my pussy. I felt so vulnerable and so exposed to both of them, but the nerves quickly left as Tommy’s head lowered between my legs, letting his fingers graze down my slit. He dipped his finger into my tight hole, collecting the slick wetness into his finger. He watched my face methodically as he sucked the finger into his mouth. 
‘She tastes so sweet, doesn’t she?’ John said huskily as he began to fidget with his zipper, struggling to not stroke himself off. 
Tommy’s eyes were focused on me when he spoke next. “Sweeter than I ever imagined.’ 
Tommy leaned over my body, pushing his lips onto mine, letting me taste myself on his tongue. I inhaled sharply at the contact. My hands shot to his pants, quickly fumbling with the zipper. I wrapped my hand around his throbbing cock, pulling it free. He grunted loudly, giving me a boost of confidence. 
‘Are you ready for me?’ He whispered in my ear, setting me on fire again. I needed him inside of me now. 
‘Please, I need to feel you, Thomas.’ His face softened instantly for a few quick seconds at the use of his real name. He lined himself up with my entrance, staring into my eyes with such passion that I’d never seen before. Pushing his way inside me slowly, he hissed, but his gaze never wavered. He pushed deeper and deeper until bottoming out with a small whimper that made me tighten around him. I felt so full, but in the best way possible. His lips hovered over mine as his forehead fell onto mine. He adjusted to the tightness of me before moving again. 
‘Christ, you feel incredible.’ He said, finally pulling all the way out and pounding back inside of me over and over again, make me gasp for air. Lost in the sensations, I wrapped my legs around his waist, clawing lightly at his muscular back. Finding my center, I peeked over at John, who was now standing to get a better look at me. He was stroking his cock in time with Tommy’s thrust, chest heaving up and down frantically.
Reality suddenly set in as I watched John, thinking he might hate this. Would he be upset with me for this later? Am I betraying him like this?
Tommy must’ve noticed my body’s rigidness and the nervous look on my face. He pushed my face back under him, holding my head in place with both his strong hands as he fucked me so gently now. Each gentle thrust helped me fall farther into the moment with him. I relaxed around him finally, allowing him to move a bit faster. 
‘You’re doing such a good job, love. Focus on me, yeh? Make him pay for not worshipping this beautiful pussy.’ God, I couldn’t deny how sexy this was.
His thrust were slow and deep now, drawing every moan out of me for Tommy to devour. My hips started to meet his in a steady rhythm, fucking myself up into him. My hands were everywhere, falling down his chest and caressing back up to his pretty face panting over me. His breath held a strong scent of whiskey, sending my head spiraling. 
‘Does my cock feel better than his? I know it does. Tell me how good I feel inside you.’ He said in a slightly submissive and approval seeking way, whispering so that I was the only one to hear him. I couldn’t deny that this felt so much different than with John. This was all so unfamiliar and exciting. Tommy had a way about himself that I couldn’t explain. 
‘God, you feel amazing in me Tommy. I feel so full of you.’ I panted into him, only for his ears to hear. A small chuckle escaped him and he pressed his lips onto my neck again. I turned to face John who was about to come undone.
Before I could think, Tommy pulled me up to his chest before flipping me over, so that I was on-top of him. He looked stunning laying underneath me like this. His eyelids were heavy and his chest was heaving up and down. It started to feel like it was just Tommy and I here alone in my room. 
I pressed my hands firmly into his chest as I fucked myself down on his dick. I threw my head back and focused on my movements. I was bouncing up and down so harshly, each time I moved down, a loud grunt left Tommy, edging me on. His hands grabbed firmly onto my hips and he fucked up into me so much more harshly. I gasped, mouth hanging open and unable to move. Each time his cock shot up into me, I came closer and closer to the edge of my building orgasm. 
‘You’re close?’ He panted out, redirecting my attention on his angelic features. I shook my head yes, unable to form words right now. His hand moved down in-between us, rubbing fast and tight circles into my clit. I clamped my eyes shut, trying to contain the building pressure. I was a total goner now.
I felt his soft hands gently brush across my face, making my lids flutter open.
‘I am too. Come for me, love. Can you do that?’ He said, still fucking my core relentlessly.  
‘Yes, Tommy…I’m gonna come…’ I moaned out loudly before the flood gates broke open. My mouth hung in a silent cry and my hands clawed down his chest. I came so hard around him black spots clouded my vision. My entire body slowly lit on fire, every inch of my body shaking with pleasure. I came harder than I ever have in that moment. Tommy lifted my ass up with his hands and fucked me through the extreme pleasure. His thrusts became sloppy as his orgasm followed close behind mine. With a few final thrusts, I watched his face contort and then finally relax completely as his hot cum filled me up completely, spilling out the sides of me. I might become obsessed with this expression. After what felt like minutes of whimper and moans of bure bliss, I laid my head on his chest, still buried onto his cock. I felt him twitch inside of me as I tried to catch my breath. His hands rubbed up and down my back lightly, reminding me that we had company here still. It was so silent, the only sounds that filled the room were the panting coming from me and Tommy. He stared up at me in awe, giving me the softest smile that made me melt. I never wanted him to leave my bed. 
Finally, I moved off of him, falling to his side and turning to look at John who was fully clothed again, looking a bit pissed off. I hadn’t even known he had came and recomposed himself all while we were fucking. Did I not hear him at all?
‘If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve guessed you two were in love. The fuck was all that about?’

a/n Well, looks like we're here for the final rodeo. I really hate this for some reason so I hope it's just my overthinking little brain. Thank you to everyone who joined me on this journey! It was a pleasure. ✨🌟🤍
warning: some battle scenes but honestly nothing mire crazy then we had before. Not proofread cause it's midnight!
*************************************************
The warmth that surrounded you was uplifting. Soothing and still. For the first time, your head felt clear. Free of thoughts. Nagging voices. There was nothing there. Utter calmness. Something that you haven't experienced in what feels like forever. The heart that beat under your ear was your newfound source of comfort. A home that had been empty for decades. Lost and cold, but now found and ready to be rebuilt.
The soft silks that had felt so cold for so long now felt more than inviting. Eris made them more than inviting. Your fingers carefully ran through his hair as you moved your head slightly so you could study him while he slept. After you bathed, you two stumbled back to the bedchambers. Eris refused to let you go, so that's where you two stayed. As sleep gradually overtook you, you were wrapped in each other's arms. Limbs tangled together with no space left in between. Both exhausted from trying to fight for a better future.
You studied Eris's features. His sharp jaw. The freckles that ran all across his face. You've never noticed those somehow. You couldn't help but wonder if you studied them for long enough, would you be able to find little constellations? His pouty lips looked so deliciously inviting. Resisting the urge to kiss the fireling was quite a challenge. The scars that painted Eris's face when he returned were gone; only light pinkish lines remained to show the resemblance of the brutal night.
You came to a complete stop when you heard the door open. Hoping that the servants would just leave after noticing you two still in bed. But the quiet murmuring made you lift your head from your lover's chest just slightly. To the sight of your face, Juniper took off running before jumping onto the bed. Her tiny frame, carrying so much excitement, was launched right at Eris's lower stomach, making the male wake up with a jolt as he let out a painful breath.
"Eeee!", she squealed, wrapping herself around him and wiggling from side to side with excitement. Eris's big hand held her from behind, soaking in the warmth of his little sister. You studied them with a fond smile, your heart swelling with happiness. Even in his sleepy state, the love Eris had for her was evident. Your eyes drifted to the door, however, where Tabias still stood. Unsure if he was also welcomed in such a venerable moment.
You tapped the side of the bed gently, inviting him in. Like you had done more than once now. The boy stayed by the door just for a moment before walking towards you and climbing in slowly. Tabias studied his two siblings. His sister was now in fits of laughter as the oldest one tickled her sides. Not jealous, yet craving that same love-filled interaction. So you wrapped your hand around him. He didn't fight it when you brought him closer to your chest; a lazy smile painted his face as you two fell back into the mattress giggling.
"What are you two doing here?", Eris turned to Tab before dragging the boy by his arm out of your chest so he could love on his little brother as well. "Rory said you were back," Juniper admitted as she took a seat in the middle of the bed, hands fidgeting with the material of the sheets.
"And she said that you were going to leave soon, so we wanted to see you," a harsh slap of realization. A meeting still had to be held. So many things still needed to be discussed. Yet you couldn't help but wish you could just stay in this happy bubble with them forever. But in order to keep them safe, you needed to finish what you started. Your wish was not only to see Eris as a high lord but to save them all and bring them the peace they deserved.
Your eyes trailed back to the three siblings, still beaming at each other. Eris was going to be an amazing leader. If this side of him was shown to his people and he'll lead with his heart on his sleeve, Autumn was going to be unrecognizable. "Will we live together after this?", Juju's words brought you back to reality. Such an innocent question was followed by her curious eyes studying you, "Would you like that?" Pushing a strand of her wild hair, you smiled at her.
The little girl nodded her head quickly, clapping her hands together, "And we will keep lots of bunnies". Juniper was practically glowing. You wondered if the same fires that ran within her or if it was just pure excitement. "Well, I don't know about that, lovie," Eris argued quickly, yet his voice stayed smooth and soft. "We should adopt a little fox", Eris gapped at your words. As if he was scolding you for adding more fuel to the already blazing flame that was Juniper, but you only smirked at him.
"Yes, yes, and we can build them little houses alongside ours", her big amber eyes beamed as she held onto your hand, "We can also grow carrots for the bunnies ourselves. I'd love to have a garden."
Even if you never let yourself think about the future. The Future that would involve them three. You let your mind wander for a split second. Envisioning what life would be... what it will be after all of this. Scrape all fancy titles and homes. You never cared for those anyway. You wanted the cabin that Eris had. Maybe you all could rebuild the one that was burned down. Nothing too big. Just enough for you all and all the animals, of course. Where nothing and no one would come after you. A true family built on love. 
"You will come back this time, right? So we could do all of this", Juniper's voice suddenly turned sad, and you felt your heart aching, "How about we don't make promises this time?" She only shook her head, clearly not pleased with your answer, "But that gives you a chance to not come back, and we want you to come back, right, Tab?", Juju pulled at her younger brother's shirt as if asking for him to speak up.
"Yes, you better come back. Eris needs a high lady by his side, and we... also need you," he said, eyes gazing at his hands at the last words, but you could tell they came from deep within his heart. Special. They were all so special. "Come here, you two," you said, wrapping your arms around the youngest, smothering them in your embrace. "I'm already getting left out," Eris grumbled sheepishly as he looked at you. "Oh, don't start, you big baby," you said, rolling your eyes.
The meeting room was cold, making you wish you were back in bed with Eris and the kids. The hand that ran up and down your thigh did little to nothing to ease your nerves, even if the love Eris sent down the bond felt endless. All of this brought back only sour memories. The last time you all sat around this table, Rhys got taken under the mountain the next day. It's like this particular study and the meetings held here never led to anything good. You tried not to let yourself overthink. To put the voices that fought in your head to sleep, but all the calculations and strategies were making your head spin.
"Our father wanted to get rid of you at any cost," Rhys's voice made you lift your head from your palm, "While Beron was ready to do anything to get you," Eris brought you closer to his chest as you shook your head, "Why?", "He knew of your power. You are... You are every form of darkness that could cast this world with powers so versatile...Not to mention your ability to accumulate power," your brother's rant was cut by Eris slightly lifting his hand, "In other words, you are an irreplaceable weapon", "So all he wants is me?"
A part of you didn't want to know the answer to that, yet both of them nodded their heads. You still weren't sure how you felt about it. Of course, any high lord, even if he had impressive powers, would have loved a toy like you but still... "That's why I chose to separate you and Eris,"  letting out a sad chuckle you turned to Rhys, but that didn't stop him from talking. "When the deal came about, and I kept on seeing Beron practically eating you up with his eyes... I thought Eris was just a facade", "It doesn't change anything, Rhys. You're not a mother herself, nor are you the cauldron. You don't get to choose others' faith."
You wanted to find a reason that would validate Rhysand's actions. But no matter what. No matter which words he chose, they just didn't make sense. Keep you away from Autumn, sure. But not wipe your memory and take away your mate.
"I think you should sit this one out, sweet", you scowled at Eris in an instant, "No way, if Beron wants me, he'll know I'm not there and run off", "She's right. It's Beron's head that we are after. Why kill innocent fea if we're not getting the job done?", it was Cassian who had jumped to your side. Mother, were you thankful for him. One thing was sure: no matter your relationship with Night Court after all of this, he was always going to be your family. Always have a place in Autumn.
"My spies reported that Beron will be moving towards some of the camps on the south wing tomorrow", Azriel's voice was as lifeless as Rhys's. He hadn't once looked your way, or at least you didn't catch him. You wondered if he felt guilty. Az always appeared mysterious. Reading him was a challenge, but somehow you could always tell what was going on inside his brilliant mind. Now. Now it was just an unbreakable wall of steel. "Great, I know those places like the back of my hand," Eris said, helping you as well. Hand holding yours firmly.
"Helion will be joining us," those words brought you both to a halt. No one else was supposed to know about this, but Rhys always played by his own rules. "He wants your mother to go back to the Day with him." Eris's jaw clenched, and you quickly wrapped your hand around his upper arm. You were ready to see him lash out at Rhys, but he just stood there for a minute before noodling his head. "We leave tomorrow at dawn." With those words, Eris turned away from them all. His steps were firm and calculated, hand holding onto you. But the steps weren't quick. You took notice that he hated to leave you trailing back behind him. Always making sure that your tiny frame could keep up. Equals. Equal in all ways possible.
The night was sleepless. So all you and Eris did was just look at each other. You felt that a part of him was locked away from you. Too many emotions made him want to run away. You knew that he wasn't used to them. So you chose silence as well. Sometimes silence spoke louder than words. In many forms that it had the chance for expression was endless. 
Once you left for Autumn you two got separated. Cassian wanted you on his side for Illyrian troupe arrangements. Some of them were assigned to provide safe passage for the healers or anyone who might be running from Beron's regime. That meant that Eris was left with Rhys and Helion. You didn't love that, but for the greater cause, all of you needed to make sacrifices. You returned to the meeting point when the sun was high in the sky. Azriel said you had about two hours before Beron was going to reach the point you needed him to.
"I can feel your nerves from miles away," you said as you wrapped your arms around Eris's shoulders, kissing the side of his head. He sat at the side of the camp that was made mostly to ensure that the wounded would have quick access to a healer.
"I just worry about you," he admitted with a loud sigh. You nudged his legs with your knee as if you were asking him to part them so you could stand between them. He obeyed without hesitation.
"You know I'm capable of handling myself", Cassian had made it loud and clear to Eris that morning that if anyone was capable of leading an army it was you. Adding the ever so cocky comments about how he taught you himself but it seemed to have done nothing to ease your mate's worries. "I don't doubt your strength, I just...", you felt him shiver under your touch, "Hey, look at me", Eris was hesitant at first, but his eyes met yours.
"There is no way around this. We are unstoppable together, remember?", hands gripped your body tighter as he brought you closer to him. Head resting just beneath your heart, "You hear it beating? It's beating for you, love", you heard Eris inhaling sharply before he looked up at you. 
"I want it all with you. I want everything that we talked about with Juju and Tab. I want you to have your garden. To be by my side. I want a mating ceremony. I want a family with you,"  Eris said, as you ran your hands across his cheek gently. "The last two involve wild fucking, I hope," you teased him, making the fireling roll his eyes.
"Kind of expressing my love here, and all you can think about is my cock?", biting your lip you shrugged your shoulders sheepishly. Eris shook his head at you before leaning in to kiss your lips.
"I love you, Eris Vanserra," and now his fingers ran through your hair as he inhaled your scent, smiling ever so slightly, "I love you, even more, my wildflower," capturing his lips in a kiss once again you couldn't help but smile to yore just as Cassian appeared from the corner in a rush. You didn't need any words. The hellfire was about to erupt once more.
For some reason, you thought this was going to be an easy fight. A quick one too. You couldn't have been more wrong. It seemed like Beron was preparing for this as well. Maybe he was preparing to overtake Velaris, hence the number of soldiers he brought because you just couldn't imagine him needing so much power to overtake a camp of healers.
"Rhys!", you shouted, causing your brother to turn your way just in time to block the soldier's bow. Rushing his way, you pierced your sword through the Autumn male with ease.
Rhys jumped to his feet, reaching for you. "How about we drop the weapons and show them what the night scums are made of?", you felt his power starting to build up. The obsidian darkness that ran through him was almost screaming to be let out. You matched your brother's smirk as your hands grew black. It felt almost relieving to let it go. To be able to feel the rush of it.
You were about to turn from Rhys, ready to wipe out the enemies, as he caught your hand. "I know it's not the right time, but forgive me. I'm sorry", the clacking metal, worriers shouting was all that you could hear loud and clear, but your brother's words were firm. "Tell me that off the battlefield, and we'll talk about it." With one last look at his purple eyes, you let yourself winnow into the madness of the fight. Lifting bodies like it was nothing, cutting throats with your shadows. You saw the power that erupted from Rhys, sending chunks of Beron's army into nothingness. Children of the night. Maybe you two also had a future after all. You scanned the battlefield. Az, Cass, Mor, Feyre, Rhys, and your Eris. All were breathless as they fought for Autumn's future. You closed your eyes quickly, just like the day in the burning cabin. Sending a shadow in each of their directions. To protect. To shield. Just in case. All of you needed to leave this field alive. Quickly dogging a hit, you sent yet another body to the ground.
Your eyes once again fell on Eris, who was battling with one of his brothers. You could feel him getting tired. His muscles clearing starting to ache. The battle was way more brutal than you had anticipated. You unleashed another wave of your power by sending his brother to the ground.
Then, all of a sudden, a wash of coldness ran through you. Do it. Do it. You know that you want to. Trust your instincts, girl. For once. Running to the side of the field, you searched for a quiet place before resting your hands on your chest. "Mother of darkness and angels above, release my loved one from the curse of death. Let him rise above. Let him take it all from me. I summon you. Break the chains and set him free", you knew that the ancient lover's twisted vow was too much of a danger to Eris. So, if he had tricks up his sleeve, so did you. You weren't about to risk his life over yours. In your eyes, his life was more worth it. So you chose to break it off fully. The mating bond was more than enough now that you two had found each other.
Then, like a bolt of lightning on a sunny day. Like a first snowflake. The first drop of rain on the hottest day. In a way awaited but always brought an ounce of surprise. At first, you thought that it was impossible. Unreal. It couldn't have happened. You had done it all. Looked through it all. You were winning. The last thing you had to do was find Beron, kill him, and everything would be over. But then again, the pain that ripped through you made it more than real. You heard Eris scream ripping through the battlefield. You didn't even look his way, eyes turning glossy. The pain clawed at you from within, quickly accompanied by a warm, metallic taste in your mouth.
You tilted your head down. The end of the sword was gapping out of your left side. You felt your killer's hand wrapping around your neck as he brought you closer to its chest. Driving the blade through you.
"Found you, cunt", Beron, of course, who else would it be. You were cautious of everyone but him, "I'm going to finish something that your father was too scared to do. Cleanse the land from our worst curse. You who were never meant to be born at all."
You felt his rough fingers running down the side of your face, making you shriek in discomfort. Your fingers formed into fists when they got wet, and you couldn't access even the tiniest bit of your magic. It felt like there was nothing there. "Hate to disappoint you but with the poison, I've smeared on this blade, you're a human at best now. What you soon will be is dead", you felt him leaning closer as he let himself breathe in the scent of your skin, "A shame to kill such powerful things, but if you're not at my mercy you're useless", biting down the urge to cry out you continued to stare forward. trying to ignore his words. Every victorious breath that he took.
You felt him breathing right by the shell of your ear before a splash of warm liquid painted your back. "You fucker", Beron's body slumped behind you, taking you down with him to the ground. Cassian's blade was bloody. To be fearful at this point, who knew whose blood was on it? Just as Rhys winnows to your side, Cass kicked the dead male further away from you.
"Don't touch the blade, Rhys," but the warning came too late, leaving your brother as powerless as you for the time being. Your breath started to get more shallow, and the sun suddenly felt overbearing. "Fuck, Cassian, get Feyre", "Rhys, you're missing the point. Y/N is poisoned and bleeding." One of them slipped their hand to hold yours, but you didn't even bother to look.
"Eris," you muttered under your breath. With Beron dead, he was the new high lord, a tired smile painted your lips. What needed to be done was done. As quickly as your mind found him, he found your body on the ground. Falling to his knees, the new high lord of Autumn couldn't shake the crippling fear that the sight in front of him brought.
"I love you", your words were more lime whispers now, but you gripped onto Eris for dear life. "No, don't say anything. Fight back, sweet," one of his hands pressed against the wound, "I love you so much, and I'm so lucky that I got to remember what we had." The fireling shook his head once more, "It won't be just a memory; we'll go back together soon," but you closed your eyes, not being able to keep them open any longer.
"Come on, Y/N, hold on, we'll find a way," Cassian said, kneeling on your other side as well. His face was covered in tears as he clenched your hand in his. You wanted to answer him. Tell him not to worry, but blood poured out of your mouth as a painful cough escaped your lips.
"I love you," you mumbled one more time, your eyes never leaving your lover as you opened them just for a moment, "I love you more than life itself." Bringing you closer to himself Eris let out a silent cry as if he was still in disbelief. Lips gently pressing to your forehead. Yet the bond between you started to fade. You couldn't tell the difference between death crawling over you and Eris's warmth slipping away. Both felt cold and uncomfortable now.
And then the most painful roar escaped out of the new Autumn High Lord's mouth. Eris screamed for himself. For you. The pain ate at him. Chewing on his flesh. Fires erupted from his fingertips, quickly devouring the entire battlefield. He swayed back and forth with your body still in his arms. Gripping you closer to him. No, he wasn't going to let go. Not going to let go of his wildflower. His strong and fearless mate. Found and lost. No, there was still so much you haven't experienced together. He still wanted to give you so much.
"Come back to me, please, come back," Eris said, her fingers cradling your lifeless face. At times, imagining that he saw your eyes twitching. He felt a hand being placed on his shoulder. Lifting his head, he was met with Rhys's tear-stained face.
"Do something! We have to do...", the fireling stressed out, still holding onto the thread of hope. Pulling at the bond that connected you both for dear life. Yet your body slumped in his arms fully, knocking a breath out of Eris as he felt the warmth between you crumbling to pieces. Gone. No matter what he tried to hold onto, there was nothing there. He didn't manage to save his flower from the cruel world.
"Y/N!", he screamed from the top of his lungs, and the flame rose over the two of you. Leaving Eris to wish he could burn in the fire alongside you.

hiiii, if you're developing the protective prompts, i think 'they'll never understand our connection.' would be amazing for rory & the cap 😌 🖤 (there are more but i'm not gonna spam asdfsa)
Thank you so so much for this Malk, I have been slowly but surely working on this one (and hope to some day be able to add it to one of my full length fics for these two) but here's a bit from post MW3 Rory and Price *spoiler: I do want to have these two get quietly married*. I did edit the prompt a little to make it fit, but anyhoo
warnings for smoking and implied sexual activities at the start (they're newlyweds don't blame them) otherwise mostly shippy conversation stuff with a sprinkling of angst with mentions of the events of MW3.
word count: 1.9 K
Captain Price x Rory Sinclair (OC)
Curled into the weight of him, lying in their matrimonial bed, Lt. Rory Sinclair – John's new bride, and partner for the last eight years – felt like she was home. She had traveled the world, fought in countless fights and yet with John, it didn't matter what nation's borders surrounded her, or which four walls closed them in. She was safe. Protected in a way that she had only ever felt with John. 
Watching him smoke one of those bloody cigars of his, she quietly laughed to herself. Well versed in the addiction to smoking both her and John shared – for him, it was cigars, and for her, cigarettes – it was a nasty habit, and yet, the scent of that rich and heady tobacco that permeated the air and his clothes, that seemed to seep from every one of his pores, was one she couldn't live without now. Better than any cologne when mixed with his sweat and the smell of whiskey on his breath. That was John, cut down to his very essence.
Holding her chin in his hand, his rough fingers pressed into the soft flesh of her cheeks as they gazed hungrily into each other's eyes. The desire for each other was always there, forever lingering even in the background when their thoughts were solely focused on the mission at hand and not on the pursuit of loving one another. His mouth claimed hers, pulling her into a needy kiss after a drag from his cigar, and she found herself lost in the depth of his kiss, feeling the smoke curl and cloud down her throat and inside her lungs. Filled in totality, brimming with him. 
Rory locked eyes with him, returning a flirty smirk before blowing smoke rings towards the ceiling – a practiced art, as much as her ability with a sniper's scope or an interrogation room. Biting her lip as the last streak of smoke trailed from her parted lips, hazel doe eyes looked back with the intensity of a predator staring at its prey through the fog.
His eyes never left hers as smoke rings blew towards the ceiling, a mischievous glint flashing in their blue depths. Chuckling low in his chest, the vibrations caused his collection of body hair to quiver against her skin. "Bloody gorgeous," he murmured, his voice husky. Leaning forward, he breathed in, inhaling deeply the scent of smoke, whiskey, and her. The corners of his mouth curving upward, revealed a hint of amusement. "God, you smell like heaven." But as quickly as the newlywed joy sparked between them played out, his expression turned serious, his eyes burning with an inner fire. Tracing the outline of her lips with a sweep of his thumb, he grazed the sensitive skin with a tender touch. "Think I'll keep you captive," he whispered, his hot breath sending shivers down her spine. Tangling his fingers in the short, choppy strands as he stroked her hair, he pulled her head closer to him and his voice dropped to a whispered promise, "Never gonna let anyone else in. Only me. My girl. Forever."
The words sent a ripple of excitement through her core, followed by a wave of relaxation, knowing she was exactly where she belonged – wrapped around John Price, the man who would stop at nothing to protect and claim her as his own. Her warm eyes radiating the loyalty and devotion she felt for him. That desire to be protected, saved from a life full of loss and pain, was one that John eagerly filled for her. Hell bent on making sure she never had to weather another storm without him, using the same ruthless persistence he had when it came to dealing with a target.
"I'll happily be kept by you, my darling. Won't even try and run," she purred, her voice soft like velvet and as smooth as silk, made thick with the smoke that curled inside her throat. "All yours, John. Always." Her solemn vow as she stared into those piercing blue eyes of his, ones she could sink into, finding comfort in that strikingly cold gaze and the unknowable depths behind them that he allowed her to peer into – one of the few he did – never taking that for granted. This was the man she loved, all rough edges and darkened corners.
There was a flash of triumph in Price's eyes, that same determination that sharpened his gaze in battle igniting in his irises. He grinned, a dangerous curl tugging at the corners of his lips. A primal satisfaction filled him as he nodded, accepting her surrender with a subtle lift of his head. His fingers drifted down to massage her jawline, his voice as rough as his calloused palm, was filled with magnetism and promises, drawing her in further. "That's right, love. No runnin’ away, no escape. You’re Mrs. Price now. We fight together, just us two, against the whole world."
The quiet sentiment remained unspoken between them, but the way he crinkled his brows and narrowed his gaze made the underlying threat clear: mess with her, and he wouldn't hesitate to tear someone apart with his bare hands – an unnecessary warning for her, but comforting nonetheless.
"Two against the world." Her smile curled her full lips and her eyes sparkled with assurance that this was the man she was meant to be with. "Just how it's always been, eh?"
Rory knew exactly what Price was capable of: the violence, the threats, the lies and manipulations – a man willing to do whatever was necessary to succeed. Dangerous. But no matter how terrifying those traits might have been to his enemies, to her he had only ever been good. Gentle when needed, when her nightmares and flashbacks threatened to terrorize her, or strong and unshakable like a mighty fortress when threats came knocking on their door. She saw sides to him no one else was ever allowed to see. They had a trust built up after years of working together and born from a mission where he nearly lost her. An ill-fated op that nearly got her killed under his command became the roots for a love that had grown plentifully over nearly a decade together. They weren't just lovers or partners, they were everything to each other. A connection that no one else would ever understand, and neither of them was willing to try and explain it if someone was foolish enough to ask.
Price's smile widened, the creases around his eyes deepening as he leaned in, his nose brushing against hers. "Always. Wouldn't have it any other way, my girl,” he said, voice dropping to a whisper, the words tinged with emotion.
Pausing, his gaze drifted off, lost in memories of the past and the darker parts of their history that had brought them to this moment all etched into his mind like scars on his skin. Swallowing hard around the lump forming in his throat, he re-focused his attention on the woman in his arms. "Y’know, Rory," he said, his tone low and gravelly, "Never thought I'd find someone like you. Someone who understands me, loves me despite...or maybe because of..." His eyes locked onto hers, searching for any sign of unease and finding none, but shrugging it off not wanting to assume. "Well, despite my many flaws."
The admission was a near impossible rarity from him. For someone like John Price who built his reputation on being unbreakable, it took more than just courage to acknowledge his weaknesses, it took the threat of torture - but for her, for her he was willing ignore his ego and the many guards he'd built up throughout his life.
"Could never ask for anyone better than you, darlin’," he said, pulling her close, his chest rising and falling with each ragged breath. "You’re all I need havin’ to face this never-endin’ fight."
Brushing her fingers through the hair at his temple flecked with gray, she could only imagine the thoughts that currently stirred the cogs inside his head. Through their time together she had come to learn to understand how John thought, why he acted, what motivated him, but even after all this time there were parts that still remained a mystery even to her, parts of himself that he still kept secret - whether for his own safety or hers.
"We all have our flaws, John. Besides,” she said with a scrunch of her nose, “it's not like I'm any better, eh?" Her cheeky smile grew as she tried to add levity to the situation - she had never been very good about dealing with hard conversations. "Though I will say, I do hope one day the crusade might end. Maybe find a little peace together. Grow old and gray and fat. Be happy."
Meeting her gaze, his expression softened at first, then became firm once more when she mentioned the idea of finding peace someday. "It's a nice dream, love." His hand gripped hers, holding it tightly. "But we both know that won't be happenin’ soon. Not while men like Makarov are out there. Not until we've cleaned up this mess once and for all." His brow furrowed, the steel returning to his eyes again. "And when it's done, when we do finally find our peace, I'll spend the rest of my days makin’ sure you're comfortable. For now, let's enjoy these moments when we can.”
Huffing out a sour laugh, Rory knew that as much as (deep down) John may have wanted the same calm, quiet life she did, war was all he really knew. He had been shaped by it. A soldier from the age of sixteen, to him there really was no other life. Duty called, and he had sworn to answer it until the job was complete. If she were really being honest, she knew he likely wouldn't even know what to do with himself if he did find some semblance of peace. Even in serene moments like this, she could see the anxious twitching, the tics of a warrior that knew silence could mean danger was ahead.
Raking her fingers through her hair before resting her head on his chest, she listened to the steady thrum of his heart. "I know, duty calls. Hell, we were lucky we even got to have a bloody honeymoon." She offered him a small grin, but the weight of the threat of Makarov and the death of Soap still hung heavy over them, over everything.
His hand lingered on her back, rubbing gentle circles into her as if trying to erase the years of stress etched into her muscles. His heartbeat thundered against her ear, a reassuring rhythm that soothed and grounded her. "We were lucky, love," he agreed, his voice deepening with nostalgia. "That honeymoon was somethin’ rare during all that bloody chaos."
Fingers tightening slightly, a silent acknowledgment of the weight that still hung over them – the ghost of Soap, the specter of Makarov, the relentless march of duty - it was all an uninvited guest in their lives. Yet, there was acceptance in his voice rather than defeat, a reminder of their strength and resilience. "We'll finish this, my girl. We owe it to ourselves." Falling silent for a moment, he allowed them both to wallow in the comfort of each other's presence until he released a slow, weighty exhale, his arms wrapped firmly around her. "Until then, we'll find peace where we can, eh? Even in the small victories."

Found these. 
F*cked by Natalie Knight (twin brothers x sister)
Warren and Ryker. My delinquent twin brothers from hell.
Our father caught them setting the high school athletic center ablaze and sent them away to rot in jail for six years.
But being locked away did nothing to curb their appetite for sin and debauchery.
Now they’re back with a new agenda—fuck, torment, teach—with one thing on their minds: making up for lost time with their spoiled little sister.
Me.
Obsessions: Part 1 by Lily Black (father x daughter)
I wasn’t supposed to crave him, but I do.The more I try to resist, the more my desire grows.One night changes everything because now he wants me too.What we’re doing is sick, twisted, and wrong,but like addicts, we chase the high,but how long until we fall?
Obsessions: Part 2 by Lily Black (father x daughter)
I swore to protect her from the day she was born,and I intend to keep that promise.What we have is wrong in the eyes of many,but I haven’t felt anything this right in my life.But secrets have a way of getting out.Ours could destroy us both.But if the choice is her or walking away,I’ll choose her every fucking time.And God help anyone who stands in my way.
Crooked Cove by Rory Ireland (brother x sister)
Our parents sent me away because they’re terrified that I’ll corrupt their only daughter.They should be.I’ve returned for summertime on the cove.My restraint is hanging by a thread.All it takes is one taste and I’m hooked.I’m the monster under her bed and her saving grace all rolled into one.And I’ll stop at nothing to claim what’s mine.
And Hell Followed by Beckett Riley (brother x sister)
My parents thought emigrating from Germany to the American frontier was going to be a good thing. But it seems that a darkness is doomed to follow us wherever we go and life can be so harsh and unforgiving in this world, especially for a woman.
Luckily, I have my brother, Thomas, to watch out for me. He can only do so much, though, and after that vile attack, I find myself shrouded in darkness more than ever. It was then I realized that festering gloom came from within.
Although society won’t take kindly to it, we have forsaken God to live an unholy life, and just as things finally began to calm down, the past reared its ugly head and came back to destroy everything we’ve built.
But as Thomas once told me, I would ride my steed through the fires of hell to salvage the only thing worth living for, and if the devil himself gets in my way, he will beg God for mercy.
Stolen Kisses and Secret Promises by Rue Seven (brother x sister)
My sweet Kielyr, we were far too young to understand why our parents decided to go separate ways and keep us apart for so many years. Luckily, we found our way back to each other. Never in a million years would I have ever imagined to hold and kiss you like this, to feel this ever-growing love for you. I’m lucky that I get to call you my love, my girl, my everything, my forever.
From the day we finally met, I promised to protect you. To never let anything happen to you, and to be there for you every second of every day, no matter the circumstances. I also promised to love you no matter what. No matter who’d find out about us, and I like to think that I’ve been able to keep our love protected for longer than we had ever expected. I’ve kept all those promises—and will continue to—but there was one day in our lives I hope to never relive ever again.
That day shattered me. It broke my heart to see you in so much pain, and even when you say to leave it all in the past, I still think back and wonder what I could’ve done to avoid it all. To save you from that cruelty. Sweet girl, you are so incredibly strong, and even after everything you’ve been through, your light still shines bright.
I spend every day admiring your kindness, gentleness, and selflessness.You’re truly one of a kind, and I’m forever thankful for your love. I will love you until infinity runs out. Yours always, Rellian.
Love Unexpected by Q.B. Tyler (stepfather x step daughter)
I’d only wanted one kiss.
One kiss, under the dark of night, in a city where no one knew us.
One kiss fueled by my hormones and alcohol and the blinding grief over losing my mother.
One kiss from the man I told myself was untouchable.
But, it didn’t stop at one kiss.
And now we are running full speed down a road with no intention of stopping.
His touch disarms me.His kiss revives me.But, our love, could destroy me.
Love’s Forbidden Flower by Diane Rinella (brother x sister)
The heart cares not what society forbids.
Lily nurtures a secret love for a flawless man—the one who is her soul mate. Donovan is gorgeous, charismatic, and delights in all of Lily’s talents and quirks. Their innate knowledge of each other is almost telepathic. Together they interlock like fine threads creating luxurious silk.
But society dictates this picture-perfect adoration is the ghastliest of all possibilities.
As Lily embarks on a quest for the romance the heavens intended, her suitor turns reluctant. Desperate to uncover why Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hiding decayed from a tender-hearted gentleman into a ferociously self-serving, cocky bastard, Lily is prepared for battle when it comes to the salvation of her soul mate. However, Donovan traps Lily in a mental game of chess, leaving her to question his sanity. When Lily’s revelations about Donovan’s destructive alter ego lead to an inconceivable truth, can she help Donovan survive fate’s cruel joke?
Time’s Forbidden Flower by Diane Rinella part 2 (brother x sister)
An eternity of passion cannot be quelled by society.
Once upon a time Donovan assured Lily all of her dreams would come true. But how could he keep the promise of a fairy tale when her truest goals could not involve him, though her deepest desires did? Now, Lily has it all—love, passion, a family, and the career of her dreams—with Christopher. But something is lacking. She and Donovan have spent the last ten years living apart, and the soul mates are eager to reunite. Can Donovan keep his promise to give Lily all she desires, even with Christopher in the way?
For Lily and Donovan, the past is a mirror to the future that cannot be shattered.
Donovan is convinced Lily has been his love for all eternity. Determined to unravel the past, they embark on a journey to discover where it all began. For centuries Donovan has stolen Lily’s heart while forced to suffer for his love. How much can a soul endure before the breaking point is reached and a monster emerges? Can the demons of the past be combated to pave the way for happiness in the next life? Or has the abuse suffered in this life already turned Donovan hell bound? Time and again, one woman has destroyed their happiness. It’s time to silence her once and for all.
Off Limits by Astra Rose (step father x step daughter)
Have you ever wanted something you just couldn’t have?
When her mother abandons her, Danica Holland doesn’t want to reach out to her ex-stepfather for help–even though he’s always been the one and only parent she could rely on. But when Social Services intervenes on her behalf, he rushes in with open arms…and broad shoulders, strong hands, and that cleft in his chin that drives women wild.
For Danica, life with Jean-Luc Rochat was always safe and secure. But after a year apart and a lot of growing up, things don’t feel so straightforward anymore. For example: Jean-Luc was always loving and protective, but was he also always…this hot?
While Jean-Luc struggles to resist his inappropriate fixation on his stepdaughter and be the parent she needs, Danica realizes that she can’t settle for anything less than the one man she truly loves–even if he is the one man she can never have.
PIKE: St. Charles Hockey Volume 1 by A. Briar (twincest)
PIKEDevil Incarnate. My fraternal twin brother is back in town and he is hellbent on making my life literal hell.
RHYSDaddy’s Princess. My fraternal twin sister. She’s never lived a day in hell, but I’m here to change that and I’ll be holding her hand as we walk through the fiery gates.

GIRL TALK #1:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
friends & feeling left out
Tumblr media
disclaimer! this Q&A of being left out applies to both friends and co-workers, but mainly applies to with friends. another thing is that this is for people who feel as if they can't really go anywhere right now. for the people who aren't completely unhappy with their friend group, but also want something to change. reminder that if you feel that miserable on a daily basis, the best thing to do is just leave. cut them off and work on yourself. the points i will be mentioning are just "add ons" to the obvious/ main one: self love. if you don't love yourself, don't expect others to either.
ps. summary of the main points at the end!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Question: hi! so how was today?
Vanilla: it was actually pretty good.
Q: glad to hear that! did you feel left out?
V: yes. but i had a much different approach to it this time i realise.
Q: how so? what did you change?
V: okay so usually, when i feel left out i dwell on it too much and it affects the way i think of the people/ certain scenarios sometimes. so the thing is, when i felt left out today, i had to realise that they weren't purposely trying to hurt me. these people were my friends, they cared about me. all they wanted was to just have a good time. it wasnt that deep or personal. it never is!
Q: i love this view on it! was there anything specific that you did/ didn't do?
V: Ooh okay so one thing I didn’t do was dwell on it. And the second thing that I understood was that these people weren’t my ‘forever’. They were not going to be my friends forever! Change is the only constant. Once I understood that, I was able to let loose a lot more and stop being so attached and clingy. And that’s another thing I realised! : stop attaching/ basing your identity on them. YOU are the one who decided who you are and what type of person you are. Not them, YOU. 
Q: wow. Some truly inspiring words there! Can you please expand on the 1st point you made? The one about not dwelling on it. How would you go about doing this?
V: don’t overthink it. okay, I know how hard that can be to just “not overthink it”, I am a huuugee overthinker myself. But I guess that after a while, I just god fed up and used to it. Okay, I know how sad that sounds, but what I mean is, after a while, you just get fed up of obsessing over it and caring so much about it that eventually, you’re like “okay.. whatever.” It may still hurt, but it hurts a lot less. Anyways back to the non-dwelling thing: overthinking and dwelling (on the negative stuff) are the killers of joy. That’s it. Let me remind you that YOU are the one that attaches and gives meaning to things!! If something happens that you find yourself dwelling on or overthinking about, then just stop yourself and realise that although you cannot control how others think, act and are, you most definitely can control your reaction to it, and how you think about it.
Q: very nice! I love the way you’ve written this here. So how exactly would you go about “ignoring” or not dwelling on it?
V: by distracting myself. out of sight, out of mind. What I normally do if im in school is just focus on your own work. You go to school to be educated. Having friends is just a bonus. im so lucky that I even get the PRIVILEGE of getting to go to school, so quit whining and make the most of it! Normally, I would just put my head down and get as much work as I can done, while pretending im Rory Gilmore obvi. And once im done, I’ll just go onto Pinterest or Tumblr hehehe
Q: well okay! Thank you so much for being here with us, you really do have some very helpful knowledge and tips!
V: not knowledge, just experience. Im grateful to have helped.
Tumblr media
THE END.
summary/ main points:
not everyone wants to purposefully hurt you. not everyone is out to get you.
don't dwell/ overthink it.
realise that nothing is forever or permanent. they too, will leave.
do not base/ attach your whole identity to these people.
Tumblr media
Xoxo, Vanilla

Gilmore Girls & "I Love You"
Okay so I've just finished Gilmore Girls for the first time (I say this knowing I'll rewatch it many many times in the future) and naturally, I'm obsessed with Luke and Lorelai. There was tension!! There was banter!! There was a beautiful first kiss interrupted by naked Kirk running down the steps!! All the classic romance things I love.
But there was not an "I love you" moment for Luke and Lorelai and I gotta say, I'm kinda upset about that. We saw how important Rory's first "I love you"s were with Dean, Jess, and I guess Logan too. But Lorelai should have had that moment too.
ASP had the opportunity to give them that really sweet moment, bc really we all knew they've been in love for what feels like forever. They could've talked about that, about watching each other go from person to person (like Luke says in AYITL) while slowly realizing the feelings they had for each other. And I know ASP had a quote where she said something about them not needing to say I love you to each other because they show it in a 1000 little ways (or something like that anyways) and I completely understand that. That definitely is them, you can see how much they love each other in everything they do and I love that for them. But I still would have liked to see one big moment. You know, maybe in a little argument and one of them goes "because I love you!" (Although Dean and Rory got the "bc I love you, you idiot" which could also work for Luke and Lorelai.)
Oh, also I know there was that time on Valentine's Day weekend when Luke says "because I love you, and I am going to marry you, and at our wedding, we will have lobster." And Lorelai says "I just need to hear that a little more" or something along those lines. Me too, babe. Me too.
Anyways, yeah, that's me ranting bc I love them and I just wanted that one little thing for them, Amy, please and thank you.

THE TIME THE DOCTOR WAS IN A COMMITTED TRIAD WITH HIS COMPANIONS FOR A FEW MONTHS
power of three here we goooo. we are now ONE episode out from the final Amy and Rory episode, and what we have learned is that there are now two episodes that could function as the last episode for them
and where does it rank?
sexism rank objectification (female character is ogled/harassed/turned into a sex joke by the doctor and/or a lead we’re supposed to root for and/or the camera): 8/10
sexism rank plot-point (lead female character is only there to serve plot, not to have her emotional interiority explored): 7/10
interesting complex or pointlessly complex (does the complexity serve the narrative or does it just serve to be confusing as a stand-in for smart, this includes visually): 8/10
furthers character and/or lore and/or plot development (broader question that ties into the previous ones, at least two of these, ideally three should be fulfilled): 8/10
companion matters (the companion doesn’t always have to be there, but if the companion is there, can they function without the doctor– and overall per season how often is the companion the focus or POV of the story): 8/10
the doctor is more than just “godlike” (examines the doctor’s flaws and limitations, doesn’t solve a plot by having it revolve entirely around the doctor’s existence): 8/10
doesn’t look down on previous doctor who (by erasing or mocking its importance, by redoing and “bettering” previous beloved plotpoints or characters, etc.): 7/10
isn’t trying to insert hamfisted sexiness (m*ffat famously talked a lot about how dw should be sexier multiple times, he sucks at writing it): 9/10
internal world has consistency (characters have backgrounds, feel rooted in a place with other people, generally feel like they have Lives): 7/10
Politics (how conservative is the story): 7/10
FULL RATING: 77/100 (if I can count….)
well wouldya look at that... Chibnall can write something that doesn't make me want to claw my eyes out (but in all seriousness Dinos on a spaceship reads like half his episode and half M*ffats)
OBJECTIFICATION: Amy is a person. Everything is pretty chill. also Kate Stewart is introduced and is in personality so very different from M*ffat type characters
PLOT-POINT: this one features some lovely bits between Amy and the Doctor where he acknowledges her having moved beyond needing him as much as he needs her, and generally is just quite a nice little breather on Amy's story to this point
it has one of my favourite little moments between them
Amy: the travelling is starting to feel like running away The Doctor: I’m not running from things, I’m running to them before they flare and fade forever. But it’s alright, our lives don’t run the same. They can’t. one day… soon maybe, you’ll stop Amy: Then why do you keep coming back to us? The Doctor: Because you were the first. The first face this face saw. And you’re seared onto my hearts […] I’m running to you and Rory before you fade from me
this also matters in terms of Character/Lore/Plot, but I just like what it says about Amy as well, how far she's come in her story
COMPLEXITY: mmm so it... kiiiind of struggles to validate why the cubes needed so long to activate, but I can forgive it, because in the end it's all just a conceit to get the Doctor to earth for a bit to hang out with the Ponds in their lives
CHARACTERS/LORE/PLOT: Amy and Rory have Lives, the Doctor feels very lonely, they're off for a final adventure, and that above speech that ties it all together in such a lovely way!
AND UNIT reappears (apparently at Chibnall's request, I was wondering why it wasn't in a M*ffat episode, but thank goodness because Kate Stewart might have been insufferable then, rather than lesbian-coded)
COMPANIONS MATTER: yeah, this is a good Amy and Rory episode, they're both being capable in each their own way (Amy in the action, Rory going back to his nurse roots and helping with crises points)
I had a Moment that I initially wasn't sure about, where the Doctor dismisses Rory's job as a nurse as unimportant, because I think the Doctor would think it's important, but I think it's saying way more about the Doctor's wanting to not let them go than actually being a real commentary on his life being "better"
Amy also restarts the Doctor's left heart with a defibrillator
“GODLIKE” DOCTOR: the Doctor is at the center of this, but... Emotionally! and it's about the Doctor and the Ponds, and the Doctor being vulnerable and the like so. yeah, good stuff on the whole
he does solve the issue at the end without any great hassle, but again, it's not really about that, it's about polyamory
PREVIOUS DOCTOR WHO: they brought back UNIT. and mentioned Lethbridge-Stewart! I think it's fair not to do too much legwork, since they brought back UNIT in s4. but yeah, it's fun to have some of that!
they also mention Zygons
aaaand they mention that some companions die: Some left me, some got left behind and some – not many, but some – died. Not them. Not them, Brian. Never them
I do want to note that this is very similar to bits and pieces Ten confessed, but only after serious Shit's Gone Down and to someone who's very close to him
I can accept that Eleven is more able to be emotionally vulnerable than Ten
“SEXINESS”: yeah, we're pretty good on this too!
INTERNAL WORLD: Amy and Rory live in London now (as of The God Complex). we see more of their friends and job (Amy allegedly has one "writing travel logs"? but it's never talked about really, but Rory is still a nurse) and Brian returns. it's better than previous Stuff, you do get a sense that they're living their lives
POLITICS: there's not much of that going on in this one really. I guess I'm consistently wary of UNIT (and am on my classic!who watch as well), because whether or not they're centering science like they say, they're still very much a military operation, but eh, that's a bit nitpicky for this episode
FULL RATING: 77/100 (if I can count….)
soooooo this episode rates pretty highly on the whole. it's mainly there for the Amy&Rory&The Doctor Stuff and it isn't bad at that
it's not the most "exciting" of episodes but it doesn't have to be. it's a nice little ending on the whole to their narrative
ALSO Most Episode Title of the era, in that "the power of three" refers to Amy, Rory, and The Doctor -- polycules are just stronger!
however, there is still one episode left!

I’ll just never to be able to be pissed at River Song’s ubiquity. Crammed into at least one work of every single incarnation. Like. Moffat saw the power of Rose Marion Tyler and immediately needed to be like NO MY DOLL IS BETTER AND IS THE BEST ACTUALLY. LOOK AT AND LISTEN TO HER ALL THE TIME FOREVER.
I truly feel like the two are masterclasses in how to write a good female character versus how to. Not.
I will forever be so fucking mad.
i’m going to fucking cry i had the whole reply typed out and then the tumblr app glitched and ate it. anyway. let’s talk about river song.
here’s the thing. i like to put river into what me and my mutuals call “the salad spinner”. one of these bad boys:
Tumblr media
where you put in your soaking wet lettuce or whatever and press the button on top and it goes WHHSHSHHHHHHSHHHSSSHHH and all the water drains out? yeah i’m putting moffat’s river in there and draining out all the sexism and weird fetishes and she becomes the character that she always could have been.
like, she’s a bisexual time traveling crime committing archeologist. of course i fell in love with her age ten. the “mercy” scene in the big bang was a sexual awakening for me. the scene in THORS where she’s like “i’m an archeologist from the future. i dug you up.” is in no small part responsible for me getting a minor in archeology. river’s a really important character to me, but the more i grew up, the worse her storyline and origins got to me.
and then in early 2021, i had a revelation. the one step you have to take to fix just about everything about river.
make her NOT amy and rory’s kid.
that’s it. that’s all you have to do. it fixes so many of my issues with the story immediately.
my friend @nounpolycule has much more developed headcanons about this based on the audios (and maybe she’ll explain them when he gets the chance?? 👀), but river as a completely unrelated child taken by the silence who grew up in that environment before escaping and running as far as she could is so much more compelling to me than “amy and rory’s kid who is also their childhood best friend”. she escapes the silence, makes a life of her own, puts herself through school, and becomes an archeologist. in this situation, the first time she meets him (in her timeline) is less “i am programmed to kill you and nothing else matters” and more “you showed up in my doctoral thesis research and dude. you’re REAL? the fuck?”
i really like river’s personality, and most of that is thanks to the depth that alex kingston gives her. river would not be nearly as important to me with a different actor; kingston is just incredibly talented and she loves river and she loves playing her, and she gave so much more to the character than moffat ever did.
like you said, moffat notoriously hates rose and originally wanted river to be “better” than her, but he twisted himself around so much and ended up neglecting river just as much as he did rose. according to alex kingston, moffat was the ONLY writer allowed to put river in episodes. no one else could use her but him. a big part of it is “my doll is better than yours!!!” except at the end of recess his doll is left out in the mud, forgotten entirely. he didn’t even believe that she was the best, didn’t care about her at all past her relationship to the doctor, and you can tell!
river deserved better from the narrative from the beginning.
and she and rose should kiss send post

𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟚 Recap: Main Characters
Long post, woah. Well, I do have eight main OCs so no wonder...😂 I tried to pick my favourite 9 pictures of all of them from 2022. It was really difficult with some because they only had a few pictures (but in the end, everyone had more than 10). As always, Ross and Tyler win.
Let's talk characters under the cut, shall we?
Caleb, Tyler, Bianca
I didn't really develop their sims selves, but rather their nonsims counterparts in my vampire story -- Killián, Tori and Bianka. I need to get back to that. The burnout was getting to me so I took a little break but I should get back to writing now. Long story short, shit's going down and I'm so close to wrapping everything up!
I continue diving deep into Tyler's feminine side and I love every single minute of it. I should not be feeling this much gender envy but yes I do get a lot of gender envy from Tyler okay lol
Sharon
Same deal, I mostly developed her nonsims counterpart, Saren.
For her sims version, I considered making her a werewolf again, but I still haven't made the final decision...however, I'm like 99 % sure she will canonically be a werewolf.
Rory
Aka new Rachel because I wasn't really happy with Rachel's design anymore and needed a change. Rory is hands down one of my most beautiful sims I've created this year.
I haven't taken many pictures of her though...something to fix in 2023.
Ross & Claeb
Ross. The man, the myth, the legend. Not much to say about his development, but he got a lot of attention. Especially on twitter. Instagram too, I guess. Why is it that wherever I go, people love him? Is he really that amazing? 😂 I mean, I love him, but I never thought people would feel the same way and I still find it hard to believe.
Thank you, though. When you compliment him, I get more powerful, and that's not even a joke lol.
As for their relationship and the way I feel about them. Well, the rollercoaster lasted for...years, actually, but I think we're finally done with the ride. Caleb just *is* part of my OC group, there's no way around it. The face might be a townie but the personality I gave him, that's all my work...but at the same time, pouring that same personality behind another face just doesn't work lol.
And yes, they did break up in the legacy...I'll wrap up that storyline too, don't worry. 👀
Callias
Started off as a Caleb replacement, now a separate character who doesn't have that much in common with Caleb actually. Still needs a lot of development but boy. Do I love him.
Part of me wants to do a BC with him next year, part of me is like...he wouldn't settle for one partner. He's immortal, he's had many mortal lovers, he knows they'll go away, he's not too bothered by it. That's just the way he rolls, he's not looking for a forever soulmate.
Oh and he has history with Caleb...and shhh, I'm not sure if I'll explicitly say it in the legacy, but he'll have a thing with Ross too off screen (ts4!Ross I mean, ts3!Ross is a different deal) 🤭 And I wonder if I should have all three of them canonically meet later but...
Well, in an AU save...👀 All I'm saying is that they all would get along very well 🤭 Callias would somehow insert himself into their relationship for a bit and they'd just accept it. I feel like neither of them would realize they lowkey became a polycule until someone else would point it out 😂 But still, Callias wouldn't be with them *all* the time.

The Lemon Legacy: Generation 1, Chapter 10 - A Panic! at the Disco
The girls work off their turkey hangovers the next morning at the Movers and Shakers Gym. Well, Summer and Ophelia do. Libby soaks in the tub the entire time. I respect it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They're hitting the club with Travis tonight, so they've got to look and feel their best!
Maybe Ophelia's still riding off the high of being a Notable Newcomer. Maybe she's just excited to go clubbing for the first time in her life. Maybe she's just, as the kids say, "feeling herself". For the first time in forever, she feels like she's living life. That's kinda hot.
Tumblr media
When you spend this long in CAS, you gotta take some photos outside the club.
Tumblr media
Summer: Okay, I get it, we're hot. Can we go inside now? I'm freezing my plumbob off!
Tumblr media
Before they head inside...
Ophelia: Ah, Libby! This place looks great. Thanks so much for finding it!
Libby: Oh, yeah! My coworker recommended it.
Ophelia: We're gonna have a hard time finding a girl for Travis that's hotter than you. You look gorgeous!
Libby: OMW, Feefs, stop!
Tumblr media
First chatting, then partying.
Ophelia: Damn, Trav. You make base game look good.
Summer: Operation Get Travis Laid is a go!
Travis: Let's not put so much pressure on it, alright? Even if I don't find the girl of my dreams tonight, I still have three awesome ladies in my life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ophelia: I'd like to propose a toast! I haven't known you guys for long, but it's clear there's a lot of love here, and I'm honored to have been invited into that. Thank you for teaching me that life is about more than grinding skills. To us!
Tumblr media
Everyone: To us!
Summer: I have such a good feeling about tonight, Travis. I know your dream girl is out on that dance floor.
...Well, maybe not.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I swear, I couldn't make this shit up if I tried. Rory chose NOW to go full fury mode.
Ophelia: Huh? Where's everyone going? It's just a furry, nothing to be scared of.
Tumblr media
Ophelia: OMW that's no furry! It's a werewolf!
Talk about a panic at the disco
Tumblr media
What are you giving me that look for, Rory?! You're the one who caused this!
Tumblr media
Ophelia, ever the opportunist, goes into the restroom during all the frenzy so she can steal the soap pump and look into the mirror to ask herself what she's doing with her life.
Tumblr media
When a rampaging werewolf is terrorizing the nightclub but your drink cost 21 Simoleons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even some liquid courage can't help her face this werewolf.
Ophelia: AH! Screw this, we're out of here!
Tumblr media
One loading screen later, the gang recoups at the Old Quarter Inn.
Summer: Well that was a complete and utter disaster.
Tumblr media
Libby: Sorry Trav. Maybe your dream girl is here!
Ophelia: I doubt it. It's all random townies.
Travis: Yeah, and the bar doesn't have a bartender. Weird.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ophelia: Okay, maybe we can turn this around.
Summer: What, and find a club with a vampire?
Tumblr media
Travis: Look, I appreciate the effort, but maybe we should just call it a night. I doubt an intelligent, beautiful Sim is going to walk into this random bar at 3 AM.
Tumblr media
He spoke too soon.

Hello! I saw your Valentines Day event post and I was wondering if I could get a match up for: ROTTMNT and Doctor Who?
I’m a 4’10”, Nonbinary, and Pansexual.
I’m introverted, I like to be around people I’m very close to. I’m neurodivergent and I tend to do verbal and physical stims, and sarcasm and jokes go over my head. I also tend to overthink as well.
Im always full of energy, talk really loud (I often don’t realize it). I love to learning and talking about different topics and things I enjoy. I love doing tons of research on things I really enjoy.
I’m hoping to get a Romantic pairing (preferably with male characters)
Ty sm and I hope u have a good day/night !
thank you so much for sending a match up in! i pair you with—
RORY!
Tumblr media
• Jokes tend to go over his head a lot unless they're puns, so the two of you are gonna have a hard time trying to decipher Amy and the Doctor half of the time
• Rory doesn't understand your vocal stims at first. He just passes them off as something you do when you feel like it; which isn't far from the truth, I suppose. Either way, he thinks they're endearing
• Will absolutely listen to you talk about things your interested in. Finds the amount of research you put into things mind blowing. And if you'll let him do the same, then you'll have his heart forever. Rory is an easy man to please
