You Know I'm No Good - 46
Tumblr media
A/N: I'M BACK!
Between crying babies and chatty seat neighbours, the flight was a long one. As she crossed through a pair of sliding doors and out into the kiss and ride area, she instantly spotted the raven haired women that made it all worth it.
"Hi, mommy," Tallulah said as she wrapped her mom up in a tight bear hug, forgetting all about her bags. 
"Oh, Lula," Winona grabbed her cheeks, taking her in, in person for the first time in five months, “You look so grown up,"
“We facetimed almost every day," Tallulah said teasingly. Though she understood what she meant. Her style had completely changed since arriving in New York. Long gone were the baggy, oversized clothes that she wore. Adopting a more feminine, soft aesthetic. Courtesy of her roommate Nell, who reminded her almost everyday of her first week in New York, that she was not in La Push anymore. She could dress to impress. Especially for the galleriest who came to look at all of their work, which seemed to be weekly.
Most of her wardrobe were cable knit sweaters she had thrifted, the only thing that compared to the warmth of her imprint. That thought alone struck a cord in her chest, a never-ending pit of longing for a man she had no spoken to since the fall break.
“I know," Her mother smiled, "you just.. im so proud of you." She said as she took a step back, the proudest smile Tallulah had ever seen growing on her face, "look at you, my little artist,“ 
Tallulah groaned, “is it a goal to make me cry today?”
"shush,”Winona jokingly said as she picked up one of her bags, light packing was not an option when Washington weather was so unpredictable "no crying, I made ginger snaps,"
"fuck, yes." Tallulah moaned in excitement. The first sign of Christmas in their household was the smell of ginger snaps, a generational recipe. 
“I dropped some off to Paul this morning,”
“Mom,” Tallulah frowned, though she understood why they had kept in contact despite the endless phone calls she had made to her mother in tears over him. He was never going to be gone for good.
"he’s going to know you’re back," Winona tutted, ushering her daughter into her car,”  if he shows up, what do you want me to tell him?"
Tallulah rolled her eyes before grumbling, “to go fuck himself,"
"hm,”Her mother hummed before asking the question sh had been dreading most of all. The question that almost kept her from getting on the plane in the first place,   "did you tell him?"
"no." Tallulah mumbled, bringing her knees up to her chest as she looked out the window to see the cityscape she loved so much. Seattle still had her heart it always will, she feared,
After a brief moment of silence, her mom voiced her opinion, “you should have,"
"it wouldn’t have made a difference, mom,” Tallulah snapped in frustration. She didn’t get it. This wasn’t some boy she could move on from. It was Paul, her entire world. He left her scared and alone, something he promised to never do. Avoiding him for a couple of months won’t kill him, but she figured it would show him how much he screwed up. Though, she didn’t think it would take this long for him to let her stew in her anger.
"lets get something to eat," W”inn hanged the subject, noticing her change in mood, “are you hungry?"
"i ate on the plane." She fibbed. A white little lie. A mini bag of pretzels was enough to quell her queasy stomach, anything more than that would just come right back up.
Noticing her moms worried look, she gave her a reassuring smile, "I’m fine, mom. i can handle this without flying off the rails,"
"i never said--"
"thats what everyone wants." Tallulah cut her off, “to tell me I’m still a child who doesn’t have her shit together and having some older boyfriend will fix that."
"I’ve never wanted that." Winona reinforced, something she had told her daughter many times over the phobe,  "i just want you to be safe and happy."
"i am," Tallulah promised. 
With a nod, her mother thankfully switched the subject again. One she was actually ready to talk about, “okay, tell me more about this gallery spot,"

can i get starscream who requires some soft words & cuddles form his bot s/o after being beaten by the autobots or megatron?
TFP Starscream x GN Cybertronian Reader
Went with TFP, hope you don't mind
Reader is gender neutral
Readers frame type, paint job, etc. is unspecified.
A/N: I hope you like it; I am also so sorry that it took me so long to finish it, but I was suffering some slight writers block and then I broke my phone cause I'm a clumsy idiot XD
------------------------------------------------------------
A tall, lanky, winged shadow was gliding over the walls of the Nemesis, a grumble here, a snarl there. The shadow belonged to the SIC and aerial commander Starscream, and he was upset beyond belief. He felt so humiliated. First the Autobots had foiled his brilliant plan, Soundwave ratted on him, and then Megatron beat him in front of the entire control room. He doesn't even want to go see Knockout about fixing up his wings, claw marks and indents left behind by large, violent servos. Especially not if the 'good doctor' was feeling particularly chatty today.
No. Way. All he wants right now is to sit in his hab with his loving conjunx and catch a break from all the slag he's gotten into today. His plan was amazing though, it should have worked, would have, if it weren't for those nasty little flesh bags. 'Ugh, no! Stop dwelling on it, remember what they told you. Good thoughts, cute, sappy thoughts,' he reminded himself of the many things you had told him before about how keeping the negative thoughts swirling around his processor isn't good for him. He started thinking about you instead, of course what came up first was the struggles of the beginning of your relationship.
Then it moved on to one of your more tender moments together. Every time he thought about you, the images in his head were bathed in soft light, blues and purples and dusty pinks. The colors accenting your own in the most beautiful and ethereal ways. Almost immediately he began to strut down the halls like normal despite the slight pain in his left leg. Oh, he cannot wait to see your face, so smooth and free of impurities, even through all this war and chaos you've stayed so sweet and clean, untouched by the madness. Doesn't mean you can't dig your digits into somebots soft protomesh and tear them apart, and my, did you look delectable covered in their freshly spilled energon.
Wait, those are still somewhat negative hm? Well, he's at his hab anyway, it matters not. The door slides open, and he steps in, you're at the desk in the corner, the decorative mood lights you fancied changing colors. They're all of the soft ones you like, the cool teals and soft purples. You sense his presence and swivel around in your chair to face him. Within moments of just looking at him you hold your arms open, beckoning him to you. He's so upset, so angry he feels as though he could cry, and seeing you like that, so welcoming, makes coolant build up in his red optics.
He slowly makes his way to you, suddenly feeling; helpless. When he stands before you, he slowly descends to his knees and puts his face into your abdomen. Your arms tenderly wrap around his shoulders, careful of his wings, "You know, I really wish you had gone to see Knockout." He lets out a short grumble, you chuckle and put your face down onto the back of his helm, you release calm waves from your EM field to soothe him. The soft purr of your engine, warmth from your tanks bathing his faceplate, and calming EM field has rendered him powerless. In a good way of course, you're the only bot who has ever gotten to have moments like this with him.
The only bot he trusts with all of his vulnerabilities. He knows you trust him too; you have said so before. That you trust him and feel like you can do or say anything around him, that you need him, want him around. "My handsome mech, my sweet Starscream.", his optics flutter shut, and he leans futher into your warmth. A small bead of coolant slid from his optic and his arms tightened around your middle, causing your chair to move towards him slightly. You exvent deeply and pull from him just enough to try looking at his face, the only part of him that's visible is the top of his helm.
You wait there for a few kliks more before you're hoisting him up, sitting the large mech in your lap to cradle him. Your optics are closed the entire time, you look peaceful but you're thinking a lot, mostly about how you'll try to have a word with Megatron about how he treats your conjunx. You know it's usually his own fault, and you've tried to help him, tried to get him to stop scheming and see the value in his current position. You've even helped him with a scheme once, it was almost successful but, of course, it wasn't. Megatron was amazed and confused and a whole lot of other things, he hadn't thought you would turn on him but the more he swung at you both he finally began to notice it. Not only were the two of you partners in crime, it appeared as though you were actual partners, interesting.
You had taken a few hits for your Star which was the first big clue, to him and everyone else. Megatron was furious, Starscream had finally turned one of his best against him, oh did he have plans for you and Starscream both. You were practically banned from putting a single pede on the earth's surface, you were, theoretically, chained to the Nemesis. Thus, Starscream was out in the field alone, no partner to watch his back like you would, like how Breakdown and Knockout did for each other. It was a good way to torture you. Teach you a lesson. And it was a hard one that the both of you learned.
After a little while of just holding him in your lap you started to feel tired, Starscream was exhausted. You could feel it through his field. So draining. You stood upright, holding him in your arms still. He was latched to you, his servos holding on as tight as possible. You rubbed the side of your cheek against his helm and hummed a little song you heard on the human radio channels. You sat him on your berth and turned to grab the little medkit KO gave you humming all the while.
When you turned back around Starscream was slouching and looking at the floor. You slowly made your way over to stand in front of him and lifted a servo to tilt his helm so he would look at you instead. Your optics met his red ones, and you pecked a little kiss to his face, then another, and another. After you showered his faceplate in kisses you pulled back to look him in the optics again, "I love you Star, you know that right?" He nodded, you pecked his face again and set the medkit down next to him. "Scoot back a little please.", he complied and scooted further onto the berth.
He was curious as to why but when you climbed up on the berth and straddled his hips, he stopped thinking. You opened the medkit and pulled out some cleaner and nanite oils and got to work cleaning and rubbing the oils onto his wounds. He started to feel better, especially because you picked up the humming again. Diligent servos lovingly smoothing over his body causing Starscream to become even more tired. He leaned forward and rested himself against your chest, allowing you to get at the wounds on his back and wings. He began to drift off into recharge, his own servos caressing your lower back, memorizing the feel of your exposed spinal strut.
"I'm done sweetspark. You feel better?", your smooth voice drew him back a little "Hmm?" You let a small chuckle escape your derma, but you don't ask him again, instead, you opt to allow him to continue resting against you. Slowly petting at his back and fiddling with some of his plating and caressing the soft protomesh in between. Your spark swells and you feel emotion begin to build up, and fast. You love him so dearly that you cannot imagine, let alone begin to imagine, how he would be handling himself if he wasn't interested in you. If neither of you had felt what you had after spending so much time together.
You know that you mean just as much to him as he does to you, he just has trouble expressing it. Especially if he is fully conscious, unlike now, he is so tired that he is being overly affectionate in ways he deems 'too soft for a decepticon'. That statement always pulls a laugh from your vocalizer and then a small retort of 'well, not if we're in the confines of either of our habs it's not', from then you receive a roll of red optics and a grunt. He was Always a little stubborn about all kinds of things, despite his difficult nature you know for a fact that you will stay by his side for as long as your engines are running. When you say things like that to him, he snorts and sometimes gives you a small 'yeah right' but is always met by a smile or a smirk. That always makes his vocalizer malfunction, his processor slows down and really takes in what you said and slowly begins to believe it.
You have had to repeat certain phrases and actions so many times now that you just do and say them without even thinking about it. And it always makes him flustered, you know he is by the way his wings do their little twitch. "Star?", he hums in response again, "I love your cute wings.", they almost appear to flutter. He finally opens his optics but doesn't move his helm, "And I adore your heel struts, and how gentle you are even with your claws. I love listening to you talk, no matter the subject of your attention. I love when you let me hold you like this. I love you Star, my Star, hehe, my 'screamer' haha." That was what made him lift his helm. "Don't call me that.", he threatened, your laughter made him a little more defensive. "Come on, why can't I? I mean, I should be the only one allowed to anyways."
He was not amused at all, so you quieted yourself and got up from his lap and laid in the empty space on the berth and patted your chest. You wanted him to lay on you. Starscream stared at you like you didn't just insult him; you always do that. It's not like you don't get what you want though. He hesitates for a moment; he doesn't want to give in; doesn't want to grant you the satisfaction. But laying on you is so comfortable and makes him feel weightless.
"Come my love, please lay with me.", that was the ticket. No sooner had the words left you had he caved and adjusted himself so he could get into a comfy position with you. As he laid there in your arms, you kept on talking, telling him about how much he means to you. Letting him know that he is more than enough for you. He not only listened to you but felt you loving on him, the seemingly endless affections poured from you in an even stream that filled his spark to the brim. He no longer felt the need to cry and the anger and whatever he felt before melted away a long time ago.
All he could feel in this moment was peace. He felt so warm and calm that he began to doze off. He slipped easily into recharge laying on your chest. Feeling your love and warmth in ways that he never thought he would get to know, let alone become familiar enough with to want it. You know it yourself that you have changed him, even if it isn't visible, you can feel it. It is just as tangible as his metal plating, the love you feel for this mech will surely be the end of you.

i saw your post and i realized that i definitely haven't left enough comments on your ao3 works for how much i enjoy them, so here. i wanted to let you know that you are one of my favorite, if not my all-time favorite, dream team writer. i love to read your nsfw works because they're hot and sexy, yes, but also? you have one of the best characterizations of the guys that i've seen, ESPECIALLY in nsfw works. i have had to almost immediately click off of so many fics because they just don't get the characters and their dynamics right imo, but your fics? i read them over and over. every single time i get an email that you've updated or posted a piece, i genuinely get so excited when i see that it's you.
your karl/george series is something that i will love forever and ever. i'm ace and i adore the way you portrayed karl and his sexuality in every one. it's so refreshing to find a good nsfw work that has a well written asexual character!!! i may not like knf as a ship very much, but i love them the way you write them so much.
there's so much i'm probably forgetting to say right now, but just know that i thoroughly love everything i've read from you. your works are amazing with and without the nsfw parts. please know that there are people out there (me) reading your fics for more than the smut. you deserve to know that.
<3
okay wow um this is a lot in a very good way but i'm definitely overwhelmed? normally when i get nice stuff like this i just say thank you but i've been in a chatty mood today so i'm going to turn this into A Thing if u dont mind... i really, really appreciate this. i've had a strange experience in this fandom where the whole time i've been here i've had a pretty even split of 'you're a delusional freak and i hope you die' and 'you're my favourite author please never stop posting' and my brain doesn't really know what to do about the black and white of it so normally i just move on and block it out but that's lead to me being incredibly insecure about myself and my work so i'm going to try really hard to process this and internalize it lol
so again, thank you so much for saying this to me. it really means a lot to me to hear that people like my fic because it takes up so much space in my brain and sometimes i get worried i'm only still getting any positive acknowledgement out of obligation and less so because what i'm doing is actually worth a compliment. i've felt really bad about my writing for a while now and it's nice to hear from someone who isn't my established friend that it's worth reading. and enjoyed too! wow thats crazy to me genuinely. i really do think im shit most days. especially my works of the last stretch.
regarding you (& only you) this is a lot easier for me to hear. i love that series so much and it makes my heart happy to know other ace people appreciate it and view it as positive representation because i'm asexual and always worry it reads as just porn. this comes into play with the comments thing again... me putting a lot of personal experience and deep thought into dynamics with no pay off. obviously i'm not saying every fic in that series is groundbreaking or even worth reading, but idk they each have a piece of importance to them. at least to me. i was just saying the other day that in my lapses of writers block i get anxious about the last thing i've posted being not my best work. in this current hiatus i'm in i'm actually quite content with EASE being the latest work in my recents. sure rules is unfinished but i kind of hate that fic so whatever. EASE is good. i love how that turned out and i'm proud of it and comfortable with that being the first thing people see on my profile
all insecurity and internal pressure aside i love writing for this fandom and hope i can do it for at least a little longer. i'm immeasurably grateful that people are willing to still read what i create, it makes creating it a little easier. i sound like a broken record but really thank you for this. it means more to me than you could know.

love confessions | stray kids headcanons (danceracha version)
Tumblr media
how they would confess their love for you.
genre: fluff. | word count: ~2k total. | warnings: none.
. ⋅ ˚̣-:✧masterlist✧:-˚̣⋅ .
a/n: hi i’m back with a new hc post (❀◦‿◦) i’m trying a new format w this one pls let me know how we feel abt it! i really hope you enjoy it ( • ᵕ • )♡ i’ll try to post the other parts soon!! 💗
Tumblr media
⊹ minho ⊹
❥ there’s not a chance minho is confessing until he’s absolutely, one hundred percent sure that his feelings for you are reciprocated. it’s just not happening, sorry luv. 😔
❥ that being said, though, he would definitely still dip his toe in the water.
❥ he’d flirt with you, very subtly at first, only to test your reaction; but overtime (and if you don’t show any signs of discomfort) he’d grow more and more daring.
❥ minho’s got a keen eye, taking mental notes of every single compliment or pet name that leaves you flustered or manages to draw out a bashful giggle from within you.
❥ however ! as much as he’s constantly and shamelessly batting his eyes at you, he’s also rather ‘hot and cold’ about it.
❥ it’s not like he’s purposefully trying to keep you on your toes or anything like that, it’s just... sometimes you smile at him so brightly, or you look at him with such a gleam in you eyes..., that his heart feels like it’s being squeezed, compressed against his chest; so he needs to tone it down sometimes, just so he can catch his breath.
❥ it’s one evening when the two of you are hanging out that minho is being uncharacteristically quiet.
❥ you try to make up for his quietude, not wanting to push him if he’s not in a particularly chatty mood, yet, soon enough, you begin running out of topics to blather about.
❥ sure, he chuckles at the little remarks and facial expressions you make as you speak, but the way he’s looking at you makes the hairs all over your body stand on end; there’s just something about it you can’t quite put your finger on.
❥ so you suggest watching a movie. he agrees with a soft grin and you power on your laptop; you read out a few titles, summarizing the plot and commenting on the posters.
❥ but all you get in response is: “whichever you like, y/n.”
❥ you turn around to face minho, eyebrows furrowed slightly. “hey, is everything okay?” he seems taken aback by your question. “it’s just- i don’t know, you’re being kinda... silent” you trail off.
❥ “it’s okay if it’s just that!” you add quickly, your words almost jumbling together. “if you just don’t wanna talk- it’s alright, i just- i care about you, so... yeah...”
❥ your face feels so warm you think you could burst into flames at any given moment.
❥ minho looks down, gnawing on his lip and fingers fumbling with each other for what feels like an eternity; your stomach churns every time he sighs.
❥ eventually, he peers at you through his lashes, and you swear you catch a glimpse of a rosy blush ghosting over his cheekbones for the fraction of a second.
❥ “y/n, i-” he stalls, his hands still fidgeting restlessly on his lap. “i'm fine, i just- i love you.”
❥ all your motor functions seem to stop working at once (did he really just say that??).
❥ “what?” you gape at him, voice small and eyes doe.
❥ “i love you, y/n.” he repeats. “and i care about you too, a lot.” minho’s gaze pierces straight through yours and your heart rate raises to a hundred beats per minute.
❥ “minho-” your head is spinning so fast you don’t even know what you’re saying, but when you feel his fingers intertwining with yours, it’s like the words draw themselves out of your mouth. “i love you too.”
❥ and the way he beams at you so radiantly before leaning in to press his mouth over yours makes you feel a way you’ve never felt before.
❥ (you did end up watching a movie, although neither of you paid much attention to it, finding each other’s lips to be much more captivating.)
Tumblr media
⊹ hyunjin ⊹
❥ poor little bub, he’d get so nervous once he actually commits himself to confessing his feelings for you, you’d end up thinking he’s purposefully avoiding you.
❥ but he just wants it to be absolutely perfect you know? like, straight out of a movie scene, so he just needs time to map out the perfect plan.
❥ and once he’s got it all figured out, it’s time to set ‘operation: steal y/n’s heart’ into motion. 👏
❥ it’s early noon on a sunday when you suddenly get a text from hyunjin – ‘it’s lovely outside today! do you wanna hang out at the park?’
❥ and, happy that he’s no longer seemingly evading you, you agree – ‘sure i’ll meet you there in ten!’
❥ but ! hyunjin wasn’t expecting you to accede so readily; still, he can’t just ask you, out of the blue, to wait half an hour before leaving, he doesn’t want you to get suspicious.
❥ so he hurriedly gathers his things, quickly double-checking that he’s got everything he needs to sweep you off your feet, before scurrying out the front door.
❥ you arrive at the park, and hyunjin’s heart begins hammering inside his chest the second he spots you amongst the people; you look so incredibly stunning as you glide through the crowd (ethereal, hyunjin thinks).
❥ you catch sight of him standing on a less populated side of the park, a blanket spread out over the grass beside him, and rush over to him, greeting him as soon as you reach him.
❥ “ooh, did you prepare all of this for me?” you ask him merrily, a playful grin on your face while you motion towards the picnic basket and multiple containers filled with various fruits.
❥ “yes” he wants to tell you; but instead he turns around, hoping you didn’t see the blush dusting over his cheeks. he sits himself on the blanket and you follow suit.
❥ for a bit, hyunjin relaxes, he even nearly forgets his true intentions, loosing himself in the way your eyes shine as you tell him what you’ve been up to and the hums you let out when you pop a particularly sweet grape into your mouth.
❥ you smile at him, tilting your head down slightly. “why are you looking at me like that?” you simper.
❥ hyunjin’s heart does a somersault all the way up to his trachea. “i just-” he clears his throat. “you make me so crazy.”
❥ he rubs his hands over his face, you cock an eyebrow, yet before you can retort he keeps going: “i’m so crazy for you, y/n, you make me forget where i am and what i’m doing. all i can do is think of you, and look at you, and love you. god, y/n, i’m so in love with you, sometimes i don’t know what to do with myself.”
❥ you feel warm despite the breeze licking your face, the butterflies inside your stomach flap their little wings so fast you just can’t help but let out a chortle at the sensation.
❥ his hand moves to encompass yours and you can’t get the words out fast enough so you lean across the soft blanket and plant your mouth over his own.
❥ his lips are soft, supple, and taste sweet, like the strawberries he’d been eating.
❥ “i love you too.” you mumble as your fingers entangle themselves in his hair.
❥ (hyunjin ended up forgetting about his original plan, and about the bouquet of flowers laying inside the picnic basket, though he did give it to you later after he walked you home; you held his hand the entire way there, and his heart beat frantically as he kissed you goodbye.)
Tumblr media
⊹ felix ⊹
❥ it’s not that felix isn’t planning on confessing, on ultimately declaring his undying love for you with a grand, romantic display.
❥ he just kinda thought you’d know about his feelings by now? like, how could you not?? especially since he’s been acting more and more bold each time the both of you meet.
❥ he’s not shy about holding your hand whenever he feels the longing, or lingering for an extra second or two when he gets the chance to hold you.
❥ but if you’re not picking up on the very obvious seed trail he’s laying out for you, then it’s time to draw out the big guns. 😎
❥ and so, he texts you – ‘hey! wanna come over & help me bake?’ – and, of course, you agree.
❥ you arrive at his doorstep and felix greets you with a wide smile and a warm hug; the cozy feeling stays with you even after the two of you part.
❥ he ushers you into the kitchen and you don’t seem to notice how his hand remains on your shoulder as he follows behind you.
❥ all ingredients and utensils are set up and ready on the kitchen counter.
❥ “what are we making?” you question him with a smile so beautiful he actually has to stop and think about it.
❥ “uh-” he mutters, his eyes focused on you. “oh, yeah! cupcakes!”
❥ you lower your chin ever so slightly, evading his gaze for a split second (could you be... blushing?), and felix grins, pleased.
❥ the two of you start mixing the ingredients, chit-chatting as you normally would, except you could swear he’s flirting with you; he showers you in compliments for every little thing you do (“woah y/n, you’re so good at sifting the flour!”, “ooh, you cracked this egg so perfectly, y/n, look!”), his fingers encase yours every time he asks you to hand him something, and you keep catching him glancing over at your lips.
❥ your stomach rumbles, but you can’t tell if it’s from hunger or from the butterflies flapping their wings furiously inside it.
❥ you set the tray of cupcakes inside the oven before turning around and leaning over the kitchen table, gaze fixed pointedly on felix across from you; he just looks so dreamy, brows furrowed in concentration and arm flexed as he whisks the mix for the frosting, you could look at him all day.
❥ he gazes back at you and the corners of his mouth tug up into what you can only describe as a smirk.
❥ your breath catches in your throat at the very moment the mixer judders in his hand and you let out an audible gasp when frosting spritz all over the both of you.
❥ felix looks at you like a deer in the headlights, but you can’t help the giggles that bubble from within your chest.
❥ “this isn’t how i wanted this to go, but,” he scratches the back of his head (unconsciously smearing frosting all over his hair), a chuckle escaping past his lips and a toothy smile on his face. “i love you, y/n.”
❥ your digit glides over the table, scooping some of the mixture before gently tapping his nose. “i love you too.” you chirp.
❥ felix leans towards you, hand reaching out to caress your cheek; he gapes at you for a moment, completely enthralled.
❥ you get even nearer to him, your mouth opens (god, he can’t stop staring at your lips).
❥ “do you smell something burning?” you ask.
❥ “oh no, my cupcakes!”
❥ (although felix didn’t get to decorate the cupcakes with little frosting hearts, or spell ‘i ♡ u’ with the cupcakes, or even make cupcakes for that matter, he figured things worked out okay anyway; in the end, he got loads of cuddles and kisses out of it, and i love you sounded a whole lot better coming out of your mouth.)

Title: Being So Normal Part: One Pairing: Black!Reader/Bucky Barnes Summary: Neither of them are very good at being normal. Good thing the spectrum of normalcy these days is anything but the definition of the word. In other words: two broken people mend together. Warnings: typical canon level violence, mentions of past abuse both physical and emotional, alcohol abuse and mentions of, drug abuse and mentions of.
Chapter Theme: Being So Normal, Peach Pit
Notes: Just a little self-indulgent series that's been sitting in the back of my brain that I have finally decided to work on after kinda scraping the previous one.
Sort of a Neighbors's AU mixed with a Coffee Shop Au. Lots of character introspection for the reader, and Bucky, and some fun and drama along the way. This will no doubt be a slow slow burn.
Hope yall enjoy and feel free to leave any comments or hit me with questions! Oh, mood board slapped together by me! Also, no Beta. Tbh I'm lazy and impatient so excuse any mistakes.
Saturday: 11:30pm
Sam was the one who convinced him to come---or maybe forced would be the better word. Life has been returning to somewhat normal for the two of them; Sam shouldering his mantle as Captain America, and James slowly easing into his role as Sergeant Barnes rather than The Winter Soldier. But, it’s not all easy, at least not for James. Normalcy is not his strong suit, not when the urgency of survival had been drilled into his skull for the past hundred years or so. Sure, he was comfortable, but not necessarily happy. James is lost, and no one can tell that more than Sam.
And that is how he’s found himself in this crowded club with flashing lights and a bass beat that he can feel in the pit of his stomach. It’s not that the environment is too much---it’s just that he feels so...odd out. After all, Jame’s idea of a night out used to be something more akin to a jazz bar and dancing. Not whatever gyrations and wiggling around the kids called dancing was these days.
God, he really is old.
“You gotta loosen up man, you’re killing my vibe.” Sam, as if on cue, shoulders into him. James scowls, making sure to keep a tight grip on his beer---if you could even call it that. The brewery it was from managed to pack so many damn spices and fruit in it that it tasted more like a cocktail than any beer he’s come to like.
“You’ve got a weird vibe then, Sam.” the other man laughs, elbows resting against the bar top behind them while he scopes out the scene. It’s a typical New York club; fashion being the forefront of it all, the entire reason anyone is out right now is to be seen and admired. Among other things.
“That cutie over there keeps tossing you looks, you should go say hi.” James follows Sam’s gaze across the bar. A gaggle of young women crowds around a booth, all of them eyeing them and whispering to one another. He rolls his eyes and takes a long swig of his beer.
“I think you mean they’re looking at you, Sam.” The super soldier turns back toward the bar to push his empty glass to the bartender who only nods his way and produces a refill without another word.
“Eyes up, Sergeant, they’re coming over.”
James doesn’t pay any mind to the coming onslaught; it’s always the same really. Sam is descended on by a group of gals excited to meet the new Captain America and even more enthralled when they realize he’s pretty damn charming. Not that he’s jealous in any way. Annoyed? Sure. See, he just isn’t one for new people---especially the kind that Sam tends to attract sometimes. The airheads, the young ones just waiting to hook up and never talk again. He just can’t vibe with it, can’t grasp it. Maybe he is too old for this modern age of love and romance.
James just turns his attention to the muted TV over the bar, his back facing the chatty group of women behind him while they flock to Sam like vultures starving for a meal. The news flashes between stories from all over; follow-ups on the last of the Flag Smashers, some weird disturbances in a tiny town somewhere far off, and a local story on a stray cat that is just “too cute to not have a home.” He snorts, lips smacking from the twang of his beer.
“Sorry about them.” The tiny voice from his left nearly makes him jump, and James can only blame the blaring music for his lack of attention.
“Huh?” He peers down to see an average height woman; with big brown eyes and skin a deep tan and sunkissed. By all accounts, she is stunning---and looks nearly as out of place in this massive club as he does.
“My friends---” her head jerks towards the group of women still fawning over Sam, who no doubt is loving all of the attention. “I tried to explain to them that you guys are just normal people too," she thinks they're normal? "but the alcohol made them all braver than they normally are.” The woman rolls her eyes but by the soft smile she wears he can tell she means no malice.
“And what about you?” James leans his full weight on the bar top now all the while inching closer to the woman. He can read the confusion on her face. “Are you feeling braver than normal?” she flushes at his clarification, and an easy shrug rolls from the shoulder.
“I’m just the mom friend trying to make sure my friends don’t end up dead, in jail, or worse.” James can’t help but laugh at that.
“A mom friend, huh?” gloved fingers pluck the pint glass from the bar and neither of them breaks eye contact while he swallows nearly half the glass.
“Yeah, kind of how I’ve always been; just an eighty-year-old woman at heart I guess.” James gives her a crooked grin: he could understand that.
“You’re too young to talk like that.” he elbows her gently, suddenly so comfortable with her presence that he can feel himself loosening up a bit.
“Then what’s your excuse?”
Brows cock high, that twisted little grin never once wavering from his face. He likes her---the idle and quiet wit, the way she matches his quips with equal stride.
“What’s your---” but before he can finish the group of girls are flagging her down, yanking her arm in one direction while they all gossip about how someone managed to snag Captain America’s number. James watches while she shoots him an apologetic smile while she is all but dragged back to their booth across the dance floor. Before he knows it, her face is lost in a sea of people.
“You would pick up the prettiest one.” Sam’s voice yanks James from his thoughts, and he looks up with narrowed eyes. “Don’t think I didn’t see that little flirt session. You get her number?”
“I’m going home.” James slaps a crisp bill on the bar top and Sam laughs, all loud and boisterous.
“You didn’t even get her name, did you, man?”
“Good night, Sam!” with hands shoved deep in his pockets, James turns heels and heads home.
Sunday: 8:am
The mornings were his favorite time to jog. Consider it a coping mechanism---not that he necessarily needed to go for mile-long runs or work out, what with the serum, but it was the only time his mind was truly quiet. So, James kept to a strict schedule of an hour or so run every morning followed up by a tall dark roast. Only today, he is late by nearly an hour to get to his usual coffee spot; which wouldn’t be terrible but James lives for routines. Without one, his entire day is skewed.
It’s eight in the morning when he strolls into the coffee shop, a tiny little place sat precariously on the corner of two streets only a couple blocks from his apartment. Clad in joggers and a simple black t-shirt, he strides up to the counter; eyes glued to the menu board for any new sweets that may catch his eye.
“Well hi again.” brows grow taught at their center---he knows that voice. James looks down to see the same woman from the night before. Black hair is piled high on her head and rather than the slim little dress from the night before she sports simple leggings and a graphic shirt of which the reference he is utterly lost on.
“Oh. Hi...uh....” blue eyes look for a name tag, and he finds none. Damn it.
“Y/N” she smiles wide at him, much like she had in the club only this time, with better lighting, he can make out the dimples that crease each of her cheeks.
“Y/N.” he repeats her name back slowly. “Uh, nice to meet you, or see you again. I guess.” he points to himself, “I’m Bucky.” said so lamely, so simply, he really can’t blame her for laughing at him.
“I know. What can I get for you, James?”
James.
That throws him; tosses him so off-kilter the man can hardly remember his order. Sure a couple people call him James, well really only his mother and his therapist when he’s in deep shit but…. To hear a name nearly forgotten to himself, and from her? Well, it turns his brain to static.
“Just a large black coffee and one of those brownies please.” She nods and starts to prep his order, all the while he stands there like an idiot with a ten-dollar bill in his hand and his heart in his throat. Finally, he finds a safe landing back on earth.
“How was the rest of your night with your friends?” Y/N groans while she pours him a fresh cup of coffee.
“Catty. I finally got the last one home around three in the morning. Got home just in time for a nap before I came in here.”
“That sounds---awful.” James trades her the coffee for the ten, and watches while she works the register.
“Wasn’t so bad. I don’t sleep much these days anyway.” Y/N offers the change back to James but only nods his head toward the tip jar.
“Sounds like you earned it. Did you just start working here?" he's never seen her working here before, and per his routine, James is here around this time at least five times a week.
"Covering for a friend, I usually work the closing shift if I'm not teaching." Teaching? James would assume she'd be on the younger side to teach.
"I'll have to come more often around that time then." he watches while round cheeks twitch, and flush.
“Deal. I’ll uh...see you around, James?”
“Y-yeah. See you around, Y/N”

Hey, Elizabeth! I'm feeling especially chatty today, in one of my famous "chatty Kathy" moods so I'm sending random asks out to my faves and a few new followers... SO! Random question time. What is the scene you're the most excited to get to in your WIPs and what is the scene or line you wrote THIS MONTH that you feel you will return to whenever you need inspiration in the future? ~hannah
I THINK YOU SENT THIS IN MARCH and I just? never saw it? SO I’ll give you some LiaHT info since that’s what I was working on up until recently.
I’m excited to get to a scene where Mal and Olu go to a date at a gym! It’s going to be full of longing looks and excellent descriptions of Olufemi’s musculature. And they’ll get to be normal for once, which will also be good.
As for the excerpt that will inspire me later, have some Tender Bandaging Moments (from Mal’s POV):
I move slowly to sit on their side. Half of me wants to say something, the other half of me wants to run out of the room screaming. What I end up doing is reaching over and snapping open the medkit. One bandage isn’t going to do much, but it does let me slide to the ground and cup the back of their thigh tenderly. Nor can I resist pressing a kiss to the Band-Aid after I place it.
Olu’s hand rubs into my hair, ruffling it in one instant and smoothing it in the next. They line a finger along the side of my jaw and use the rest of their hand under my chin to tilt my head up. I follow their hand obediently, until they have me placed back in my chair.
They don’t speak a word. I can’t think of anything I want to hear. 
The only thing they actually do is drag the kit a bit closer to them, and retrieve their own bandages. I move slowly, leaning forward at their beckon. Olu holds their hand under my chin for but a moment, before they withdraw it and open up the bandage.
Their hands are shaking when they get back to my face, but the way they press it to my cheek is sure and caring. They smooth it over and over, their thumb gently passing over my wound. At one point, they get confident, and I have to hiss and pull back.

Touken run a bookstore. Any hcs? (I'm. Spamming today sorry)
LMAO because I work at a bookstore. :P Damn, this is a good one though.
[NSFW-ish] 
Kaneki and Touka run a small bookstore. And by small I mean it’s not owned by a company, but it’s like a “moms and pops” bookstore though it’s still spacious. 
Kaneki takes pride in the literature section, especially horror (and romance). He’s the one who constantly orders books to add to the section (customers compliment the fact that there’s titles you won’t find anywhere else but here) and he’s always making sure it’s in order. 
Sometimes he’s caught in the aisle reading. Touka will pop up behind him, startling him. She’ll ask what book has caught his attention and he’ll show her and tell her all about it, which amuses her because he’s so passionate about it. She loves that about him.
But she also tends to make him flustered any chance she gets.
At one point Kaneki is caught reading a new romance book and Touka catches him. He immediately tries to pretend he wasn’t reading it, just skimming through it. Touka knows better. She’ll rest her chin on his shoulder and reach from behind him to open the book to the page he was “skimming through” and she’ll start to read it out loud. “His breath against her skin was driving her wild as his hand around her wrists tightened. She could feel his free hand cupping her through her drenched underwear, letting a finger run along where her slit was through the fabric and she could hear how wet she was as he groaned against the side of her neck…” Touka reads in a lustful voice that causes Kaneki to shiver. This is not the type of romance books Touka knows Kaneki reads, but curiosity really did get the best of him. “Kaneki, does this turn you on?” She asks him playfully into his ear. Kaneki gulps, “N–No! I–I told you…I was just…” He’s too flushed. It’s too endearing. Touka takes the book and continues to read until Kaneki is left making a strained groan and that’s not the only thing straining…but she leaves him like that for the rest of the day until they get home. And that’s when Kaneki gets a bit of revenge on Touka for her having teased him and left him aching all day. “So, you were turned on?” She’s amused. “Because of you, Touka. The way you sounded…the way I imagined you being in that position…telling me how it felt.” He has her pinned up against the wall. There’s a sense of urgency in his expression, he’s in pain and she can feel it against her hip. She lets a wicked grin cross her face, “Then do something about it, Kaneki. Skim me like you did that book.” She jabbed at him, making him shake his head and stifle a laugh as he pins her wrists above her head and lets his hand work on her shorts.
Sex happens accidentally at the bookstore. One time it was purely because they were in the mood and Kaneki ended up taking her over a table before they opened the shop. Another time Kaneki lets jealousy get the best of him after seeing Touka get chatty with a customer. She can see Kaneki is watching and she plays with him. After she’s done with the customer Kaneki pulls her aside to a bit of a secluded area of the shop, but at any time a customer could walk by. Kaneki admits he hates what he’s feeling, but hated how that customer eyed her, as if he wanted to make her his. “I’m yours, Kaneki.” Touka tells him as she kisses him. Kaneki realizes that and apologizes, but Touka doesn’t let go of him. “Make me yours” She says lustfully. Kaneki is surprised, but all it takes is some more whispering, a bit of her hands touching him in the right places and he can’t hold himself back anymore. Being in public, he doesn’t care anymore and neither does she.
There is also something Touka loves doing which is grabbing a sex position book and walking up to Kaneki while he’s with a customer and she’ll pretend she’s a customer too and quickly interrupt, “Excuse me, I need your opinion, would you do this with your girlfriend?” And she’ll flash the explicit page to Kaneki and his customer. Both of them gasp. Kaneki is so red. Touka smiles. “I’ll take that as a yes.” And she walks away.
But it’s not all about sex as much as my mind keeps going there. Kaneki and Touka have some really nice moments to themselves when the customer traffic is slow.
Kaneki often reads to Touka, which always keeps her entertained. 
They talk in general, hopes and dreams, to the future. Touka mentions how she wants to get back into school and she does, but still works at the store. Kaneki acts as a tutor for her sometimes, helping her with her work while at work lol. 
Touka actually has storytimes! She will have a specific day of the week where she will read a book for kids. She usually has a big group of kiddos and they adore her. Kaneki will sometimes be part of the audience, but from afar, watching her. His heart flutters to see how good she is with children…making him think about what it would be like to be a parent, to have a child or several with Touka. He wants to be with her for the rest of his life…
Both of them brew coffee at the store! Yep, it’s just something they do early at morning for themselves and for some of the regulars they have in the morning. 
And I will stop there…I LOVE THIS HC, HASH.

Chapter 1 of My Hero Academia Fanfiction
The Irrational Entrance Exam...
Rule number one to be aware of, is that sleep is pointless when your an insomniac. Especially when your an insomniac of the Aizawa household...
The clock read 3:00am...crap.
Underground hero Shota Aizawa groaned at the sound of loud meowing and claws scratching at the closed bedroom door. His cat was a adorable little nuisance. Her little meows were getting louder signaling for him to get out of bed. A pair of dark half-lidded eyes shifted towards the closed door. With a slightly twitching right eye he growled softly in irritation as the meowing grew in volume to a shrill. He sighed and slowly shifted up onto his elbows with a grunt as his unkept shoulder length black hair hung partially in front of his right eye.
He moved it out of his face and stood up being carful not to wake the sleeping figure beside him. The woman shifted onto her back and groaned in her sleep.
"Go feed the cat Sho...I'll be up in a minute..."
Shota rolled his eyes and smiled softly as he kissed her forehead gently and left to feed their little terror. He opened the door and stared down at the black and grey stripped cat with lime green eyes. A happy meow came from the cat as she padded at Shota's bare feet with her fuzzy white paws that mimicked little socks.
"Hello Tsukiko..." he yawned, "huhhhh come on let's get you fed." He smirked and scratched behind her ears. "You little terror."
Tsukiko followed her sleepy owner towards the kitchen. After he fed the cat Shota made two cups of coffee. He smiled softly when he heard the yawning of the woman coming down the hall.
"Huhhhhh...good morning."
"Morning...here's the cure to no sleep. Our godly salvation." Shota mumbled sleepily as he handed her the cup of coffee. Akemi took the cup with a chuckled grin and held it close in both hands before taking a long sip. She sighed loudly. "Ohhhh thank the coffee gods for gifting us with this heavenly drink!"
Shota smirked into a chuckled laugh and kissed her cheek as he sat down on the slate grey couch and turned on the news. Those reporters were still showing the aftermath of that sludge villain All Might defeated. Shota rolled his eyes with a unamused scoff and quickly changed the channel as Akemi walked over. With the hooked barbs of her long hair she pulled open the curtains and allowed the morning twilight to filter into the room.
"Today's the practical entrance exam."
Shota scoffed as he grumbled under his breath. "It's more like an irrational joke for those without a psychical quirk."
Akemi rolled her eyes despite agreeing with the man. "I know, but sadly their potential is all up to the judges not us dear....well not until they are in our classes. Just don't go expelling another freshman class dear."
Shota turned off the tv with a huff of irritation since there was nothing on that was worth watching. "I make no guarantees. Hopefully my class won't be a complete waste of my time this year."
"Let me know if that sludge villain kid is in your class so I can prepare. From what I saw that day in the shadows, is that he needs a good attitude adjustment. That other boy however was very brave for rushing in like that. He acted like a hero whereas that other boy was just insulting him for trying to help. Despite not showing any signs of a quirk, that green haired boy was still incredibly foolish but you can't deny that it was also incredibly brave."
Shota merely hummed in thought before speaking. "Fully noted, and that can be debatable dear, it was irrational for that boy to even attempt what he did. He's just lucky he isn't dead. I'm more disappointed in the hero's for not thinking of a backup plan instead of waiting around like a bunch of confused children while a life was in danger. It's pathetic."
"I know. I was about to go help if All Might hadn't stepped in."
Shota smirked and arched a eyebrow. "Oh really...and how would you have helped my dear?"
Akemi scoffed and swatted his arm. "That villain is made of sludge and I would have been able to inject a little bit of my stingray toxins into the sludge. It mixes with blood and any type of substance into a paralytic cocktail."
"Imagine if you missed...the boy would have been in danger."
"I never miss!"
"That's irrational thinking my dear there's always someone out there that's faster than your hair. If he went after you though...I would've hated to get that call your pride would be wounded and I'd be having to stay at Mic's for a week."
Akemi rolled her eyes with a grumbled smirk but smiled softly as he kissed her cheek. Shota stood up with a grunt as he popped his back and headed towards their bedroom to dress into his hero outfit. He was stopped in his tracks by the hooks of his wife's hair ensnaring into the fabric of his black nightshirt. "I don't think so love, shower first then hero costume."
Shota gave her a lopsided grin from over his shoulder. Some mornings he's lucky to have her here to steer him out of his sleep deprived state in order to maintain the slightest appearance of having proper hygiene. Akemi released him and stood up as she walked over in her cool grey nightgown before kissing his lips softly. "I'll get breakfast ready. And I know it's not the start of classes yet, but please don't forget to eat lunch dear, those food pouches are not going to give you the proper nutrients that you need."
"I'm not going to starve Akemi and those pouches are always the next best thing, compared to your wonderful cooking, when I'm not able to take a lunch break."
Akemi rolled her eyes. "Just go shower."
A few hours later the pair were at the gates of U.A. Akemi was dressed in her cream colored kuncioki kimono she was also barefoot a choice she did willingly it was easier to climb and meant martial arts was easier. She was cradling a thermos of coffee in her hands as if it were her lifeline. She groaned about it being to early as she trudged up to the doors with Shota who had his hands inside of his pants pockets and grunted in agreement. His unkept black hair and grey capture scarf and all black outfit were his most noticeable features along with his half lidded eyes and five o'clock shadow.
The moment they opened the doors the pair were instantly bombarded by the welcoming committee aka the loudest hero of U.A. the one and only Present Mic. "AKEMI! SHOTA! THERE YOU GUYS ARE...JEEZ YOU BOTH LOOK LIKE THE UNDEAD—YIKES!!!!!!!! UHHHH AKEMI MIND LOWERING YOUR HAIR BLADES PLEASE!!!!!"
He was silenced by Akemi's barbed hair inching closer to him, pointing all around his body, at every angle, as her blood red eyes were glowing in her irritation. Her voice was a menacing hiss as her black painted fingernails dug into the thermos. "Mind lowering the volume you chatty Cockatoo! I'm not in the mood for this right now. My coffee buzz hasn't kicked in yet so please lower the octaves down a notch will ya?"
Hizashi Yamada aka Present Mic, the most unlikely best friend of Shota Aizawa, was currently the victim of Akemi's early morning anger. He should have remembered that she's a less than welcoming person when it comes to waking up in the early mornings when her coffee buzz hasn't kicked in. He gulped in fear and lowered the octaves of his voice as best he could.
"Uhhhh sorry about that my fierce lady listener, that was my bad."
Akemi groaned in agreement and her hair ceased its threatening display and fell gently behind her back as Shota held onto her waist. The tired man gave a witty smirk towards his loudmouth friend. "You should really remember Hizashi that she's not a morning person and is ten times worse than I am when it comes to your loud voice in the morning, especially with that hair of hers."
Akemi elbowed him in the ribs. As Hizashi spoke. "Oh come on Shota I was just happy to see you both out among the living for once. So you both excited for the exam. Brand new listeners with equally amazing quirks, it's going to be a good show and we've got front row seats!"
His grin widened as Akemi rolled her eyes and Shota grunted. "It's an irrational joke Hizashi, but I'm not the one who made the rules of this impractical exam so I can only hope that my class won't be a complete waste of my time."
"Oh your such a downer Eraser."
"That's my husband for you Hizashi he sees only the logic of the exams for what they are a irrational joke. That I can agree with."
"You two really are perfect for each other."
Akemi smirked as she playfully nudged Shota's side before speaking towards Hizashi. "Thank you."
Shota rolled his eyes and entered the conference room. Akemi was instantly greeted by Midnight but before the R-Rated hero could utter a single word Akemi spoke. "Not now Midnight...coffee hasn't kicked in yet."
Midnight pouted and returned to her seat. The living skeleton that was Toshinori Yagi was currently sitting beside Principal Nezu who looked way to excited about watching the exam. Shota was leaning against the back wall with his leg propped up against the wall and his arms crossed. After nodding towards Snipe Akemi headed towards her husband to join him against the wall as the exam got underway.
With her blood red eyes locked on the monitors Akemi watched as the different gates opened on the several screens signaling the start of the exam. Her blood red lips formed into a smile as all the kids started to run forward. It was quiet for a bit as they all watched the children battling it out, some were much stronger physically, but from what Akemi could tell there were some who were unable to compete properly due to their quirks. One purple haired boy that reminded her of a younger Shota was one of those few that sadly were unable to compete properly.
She could practically feel Shota's frown and she knew his right eye was twitching without even looking at him. She knew that it was pointless to comment on the practicality of the exam as much as they hated seeing wasted potential slipping through the cracks they would just have to suck it up and move on.
"Clearly the examinees have no idea how many villains are present or their locations, they have limited time to cover a vast area and hunt down every last target. Some use information gathering abilities to plan out strategies while other rely on speed to pull ahead of their peers. Of course remaining calm under pressure can be a huge advantage, as can pure power and combat ability. The most successful students use a combination of all these tactics, there the ones who rack up all the highest scores." Principle Nezu said and when Akemi looked over at him he was holding a cup of tea and he had a wide smile on his face that worried her ever so slightly.
"Mm, I'd say this years group looks promising." Midnight hummed.
"Well there's still plenty of time before its over, the real test is yet to come.. Lets see how they react..." Akemi smirked as of the judges said that white pressing a big red button on the control panel. She watched with amusement as a massive robot was unearthed in front of the groups of kids.
"So who took down the robot when you did this exam Akemi?" Toshinori asked, and Akemi smirked. "Me, Shota, along with Mic worked together."
"And I assume that as the Symbol of Peace you were the one to take it down your year Toshinori." She said with a hint of humor and he chuckled.
"Yep it was nothing but scrap metal!" He muttered amusement in his voice. Despite her husband's displeasure of the man Akemi did like Toshinori he is a good man.
Akemi turned back to screen and watched the green haired boy as he was knocked on his ass in front of the massive robot. "Now things get interesting, a person's true character is revealed when their faced with danger." Toshinori said loud enough for everyone else to hear. One girl got stuck under some rubble right in front of the robot and Shota felt Akemi gripping the sleeve of his hero outfit tightly in her hand hoping the boy would turn back to help her.
"There are no combat points rewarded for taking on the humongous villain.. But there is opportunity, a chance to shine. To show what your really made of!" Toshinori said in a voice that oozed pride as the boy jumped up, cracking the ground at his feet as he flew towards the robot. Akemi's mouth fell open as he destroyed the massive robot in one punch! That was power just what was that kid playing at he didn't appear to have a quirk in the sludge villain fight?!
She could hear Toshinori's prideful voice saying, "That's right, show who you are embody what it means to be a hero. Nothing is nobler than self-sacrifice!" Toshinori had a smile on his face as he watched the boy plummet back towards the ground next to the defeated robot.
Akemi had to bite her bottom lip as she watched the boys flailing limbs he looked like a rag dog. She then let out a little breath of relief the moment the gravity girl slapped him and cushioned his fall. She whispered towards Shota. "I feel like this job is going to be more stressful than we initially thought this year huh Sho."
"Mhmm..." She noticed Shota's hum of intrigue at the sight of the green haired boy. He was curious about this kid she could tell and that earned a small smirk to appear on Akemi's blood red lips.
"That's quite a collection of students. I'd expect this is going to make for an interesting year wouldn't you all agree?" Akemi said and she heard a few hums of agreement from the various teachers.
The rest of the teachers started discussing the various students while the judges counted up points and ordered the students properly. It only took about ten minutes tops before the scores were presented on the large screens.
"Wow the first place student didn't even have rescue points." Midnight pointed out.
"He took down those foux villains like an ace when most of the other examinees were running from the big obstacle, he stayed focused on letting the smaller targets get in close and then counter attacking, that kid is tough." Snipe added. Akemi rolled her eyes sure he was tough and had the tenacity to make a good hero but his attitude was the problem she could see it in his wild grin. He needed to be taken down a peg or two he's not a hotshot right out of the gate he has to earn his keep as a respectable hero.
"On the opposite end, the seventh place student had zero villain points." Midnight said and Akemi smiled as she remembered that kid from the sludge villain attack for a impractical quirk he had the spirit of a hero. He just needed better control...Toshinori seemed to take a liking to the boy...kindred spirit maybe she could see it in his grin.
"That's it for today, I will see you all in spring." The principle said, hopping down from his chair and wandering towards the door. The rest of the teachers followed suite. Shota turned to Akemi and nudged her shoulder giving a curt nod towards the door. With a smile on her face she hooked her arm within his and together the pair headed towards the main gates of the campus and down the backroads towards their favorite spot to unwind.
It was a small park seldom used only known by a select few. Akemi smiled as they sat underneath the old ash tree. She then rested her head on his shoulder and sighed. "This years going to be interesting dear."
"Mhmm...interesting..."
"That Midoriya surprised me...it looked he didn't have any understanding of how to properly control his quirk."
"He's like a four year old child if he's in my class he had better prepare himself."
"Will you ever go easy on them Sho?"
Shota turned and arched a brow. "Will you?"
"Now where's the fun in that Sho?!"
Shota smirked as he leaned back against the tree with his arms behind his head hoping for a few extra hours of rest before lunch. "Then I rest my case.
"Oh you..." Akemi smirked and kissed his cheek before resting her head against his shoulder, joining him in his little nap.

I guess we could claim that with today's technology, the vampire community can easily keep in touch via email or web sites or what-have-you, but I'm skeptical about that and in any event, it's all very new. How did/do vampires ever keep tabs on each other? How did the Volturi or the Cullens know where to find all those witnesses? How did the Romanians ever find out about the confrontation? They claimed that "word travels"... ok, but from where and how? Where did they hear the whispers? Thanks!
I sort of imagine that nomads, though they wander, have favorite spots they go back to over and over again, which their friends will know about, and then can track them by scent from there? So Carlisle knows there’s an area around, idk, Exeter, that Alistair likes to sulk in, so he starts there and then follows his scent. Others might have a permanent locale, like Amun’s temple.You’d also think there were be vampire sort of “meet up” locations where they could run into others of their kind for chat, for romance/sex, to just alleviate the monotony of eternity for a little while. Running into a vampire randomly could be a deadly situation if there’s a territory dispute or they’re just in a bad mood or whatever. So it seems like there should be some ‘safe’ spaces where vampires can go knowing that they will meet other vampires open to socializing there. Volterra is an obvious one, but with all that Law stuff there are certainly vampires who would avoid it rather than flock to it. But maybe there’s some old castle in Romania vampires like to visit to meet up with other vampires, or other landmarks and historic sites (bonus: snack on tourists!). I suppose it’s the kind of thing a creator would tell a newborn so that gets passed on that way, and then other news and gossip gets passed between nomads and visiting covens at these vampire ‘hot spots.’ Or maybe it’s not as formal as that and vampires just flock to places of conflict and death and run into each other and share news there. Natural disasters, war… anywhere where they could pick off humans without their deaths being suspicious. And after they eat, they get chatty. lol. I figure the Cullens are a source of constant gossip for their pretending-to-be-human shtick, but the rumors of them taking on the Volturi would be especially juicy.  Some friend or former ally of the Romanians might hear it and seek them out to tell them, since they’d be very interested in that! Post-BD I think the Cullens will be urging their friends to get some sort of phone for easier communication, in case Alice sees the Volturi making a move or ~whatever. I don’t know how well that would work for some of them, though–what do you think the reception is like in the middle of the Pantanal wetlands where the Amazons live? Are they traveling to public libraries and asking to use the computer to see if Carlisle has emailed them about the Volturi threat?
