⭐What's Your Next Glo UP?💜⭐

🤍WELCOME TO YOUR GLO UP ERA 🤍

LOADINGGG.........⭐NOW⭐ Piles 1-5

ENJOY💗

SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS!! 1111

Pile 1😈

Hello welcome!

You could be having a lot of good sex in the future. You could be moving or visiting a new place, traveling a lot more. You can be getting a lot of new clothes, clothes of brighter colors, a spring wardrobe or summer wardrobe. Your body could be getting more fit so you need a new wardrobe to show off your new hips, is what I heard but your whole body in general. Teeth getting whiter. Your lips could be getting bigger. Maybe you get filler, plumping or you just find a really good lip combo that enhances your lips or something. Your head hair could be growing out a lot. If you had a bob or cut it could be growing out really fast so you can end up having long hair. I feel like if you do travel it's going to be well accommodated for. I see really nice hotel rooms, robes, places where they leave you slippers, just really nice places. If you're moving to a new place I can see you starting to map out what your bedroom is going to look like, what type of furniture you want. Your eyelashes might grow a lot as well, maybe you start using a new serum or something like that. You could become hairless? You could be entering a long distance relationship and maybe that's why you're traveling so much or you move. Your boobs or pecks might start sitting higher, if you start working out your chest area. Could be getting into yoga, you might just start being more flexible. You could also be getting new makeup products weekly is what I heard for some people but you could be trying out a lot of new products. So based on this you might have a windfall of money, more consistent money coming in or you meet somebody who starts to pay for your lifestyle. Pile one your manifestations are coming in. You could have daydreamed and manifested and scripted a lot of things that maybe you didn't see coming into the 3D but it's only because they were on Divine timing. Now is the time and all of these things might come in at once and it's going to happen fast too! Let go of any fear that you've had because all things you've been thinking about are coming in. Some of you could enter into the same sex relationship. 777

I am so happy for you pile one. You really are very deserving of this! When I tell you all your manifestations are coming in I mean it. The universe is rewarding you for your patience, drive and your good deeds. Yeah you're getting elevated in status, money and body. This could even happen overnight, that's what it feels like. I feel like your next glo up is surrounded by the fact that you believed in yourself, you believed that you were a magical being that could manifest and that's exactly what happened. So now you don't have to live in the means of other people's expectations of you because people have no idea how much power you generate! This is not a love reading but there's about three different people that are coming in for you, I guess that's part of your next glo up. You have three options to choose from, two for some ppl. One could be same-sex, the other two could be the opposite sex whatever resonates. I think two of these people are exes and this king of Wands is new and they're going to pop up out of absolutely nowhere. These are people who've been thinking long and hard about this, could be people you haven't spoken to in months. They want to have a conversation and hash it out. Your next glo up is that you are on everyone's todo list. Three people are coming in asking for some type of commitment.

Pile 2🤯

Welcome

Your next glow up could be centered around you stepping more into your feminine energy. You could also be manifesting and receiving jewelry. Your hair could also be getting longer and you might be going out a lot more at night. Maybe you get invited on dinner dates often or just out to hang out with friends. I see this happening in the summer. You could end up visiting a place that you've never been before, and staying in a really nice house or you might have been to this place but you haven't seen it like how you will see it this specific time. Maybe you stay in a better place or you have a better view of the city wherever you're at.

Something will get exposed about this person about this situation, you might already know or have a feeling but something is going to happen. Someone might come to you woman to woman if you know what I mean.

Emphasis on birds so like I said before you're singing voice can get a lot stronger. I see you starting something new. This could be your first chapter in stardom that you're entering for some. You can get recognized for your singing, I just see you brainstorming with your friends about different things so different business endeavors or different opportunities that you can now manifest into your reality instantly. I feel like nothing is out of reach for you anymore. You being famous, you being a star, you being rich these things are not crazy for you anymore they're actually in reach. I see you following your dreams, following your passions in this next glow up. Someone might come in to help you follow these dreams and provide in whatever way that you need. But I just see all these dreams that you have had since you were a child, that maybe you never told anyone about because you thought people would laugh or would think were unattainable they're happening for you! Yeah I see you being everywhere! You're definitely changing your lifestyle. You can go from broke to rich overnight. You definitely have a soulmate coming in to help you fund this, making you into a star. You are this person's Muse and they are not letting you go ever. It's like they make money off of the stuff that they create about you and then they use that money to fund you into being a star as well.

You might also find out about your soul origin and some of your past lives. I see you trying out a lot of different lip looks as well. Yeah I just see you basically becoming more grounded in other things. You could have been in a relationship for a while so you were engulfed in that but I see your next go up you being surrounded by people that you love a lot and discovering who you truly are at your soul's core aka any dropping dead weight. I see your friends coming over more, you going to hang out with them, them supporting you, giving you gifts, hyping you up and making you feel loved. You could've broken up with this person so it's not as sad? I think you may be coming to terms with the fact that you deserve better in every aspect of your life. Everyone is very supportive of you.

You guys have true love and you're going to have so much fun. This person really adores. You will be Inseparable with this person this summer, you guys could hang out all the time and be attached to hip lol. This is definitely your soulmate so good luck pile five. You have found true love, congratulations!

Hello! I love your writing so much! It always gives me such a good chill and I absolutely adore the way the words all flow together! May I request a hero trying to escape from a villain and when the villain finally catches them there's a bit where they lift the hero's chin with a sword?

"Ah, good," the villain drawled. "You managed to apprehend our little runaway."

The hero grunted in pain, as the guards threw them down onto their knees. Their gaze darted around the room - a war room of maps and schemes too high up on the table for them to see properly, the dulled silver of the guards uniforms, and the perfectly polished leather boots standing not far ahead of them.

"Though not," the villain said, "without a little bloodshed, I see? Take yourself to the infirmary tent. I can handle him from here."

The hero's jaw clenched. They kept their head bowed, doing their best to keep their face obscured.

"My lord," the guard said.

As the room emptied, the hero tested the tightness of the ropes binding their wrists and ankles. They strained for the knots. No good. Before they could even start to rise, the villain had drawn their sword with a soft shick and pressed it to the hero's throat in one swift move.

"Suddenly shy?" the villain asked. "I was expecting spitted defiance and glares. Maybe some elegant spiel at what a monster I am and how I will never get away with this."

The hero said nothing.

The villain hummed, using the tip of the blade to tilt the hero's head up.

The hero braced themselves as their gazes met.

The villain froze.

The hero's lip curled; a smile most mocking.

"Guards!" the villain yelled.

The guards returned immediately from outside, even as the villain's attention stayed locked on the hero's face.

"Would you like to tell me," the villain's voice was silken, dangerous, "why you've captured the wrong person?"

"I - my lord?"

"This is not the prince. Do you not know your own prince?" the villain asked.

"But they - they wielded the royal blade, my lord - they -"

Power, dark and ominous, ripped through the room like a thousand shadowy swords appearing in the air.

The guards fell silent.

"Fooled ya," the hero rasped. "Sucker."

"Go to where you found them," the villain ordered. "The prince can't have got far-"

The guards stayed silent. They didn't move. The smile on the hero's lips grew a little more.

"What?" the villain snapped.

"They put up - that is - the fight and the chase went on for some time, my lord." The head guard sounded strained. "Any of their tracks would have been destroyed by our own. The prince is long gone, my lord."

The power struck in an instant.

The lead guard dropped, dripping blood from a thousand blade cuts. The hero managed not to flinch. Somehow.

"Would somebody like to try that again?" the villain asked.

"We'll find him, my lord," another guard said, pasty with sweat. "We'll go and look now."

Most of the guards left, on that hopeless errand. Someone dragged the head guard's body out. His blood was already beginning to turn inky.

The hero felt light-headed with a mixture of triumph and terror, as they eyed the villain over the hilt of their sword. The villain studied them in turn.

The running, after all, had been genuine. Escape had always been the plan. Still. They supposed the ruse had fulfilled its purpose either way, just so long as no one was stupid enough to come back for them.

"Who are you?" the villain demanded.

The hero shrugged.

The villain pressed the blade in a little harder. "Who. Are. you."

"I'm your tailor's assistant."

"...excuse me?"

"I help mend your clothes and the clothes of your soldiers," the hero said. "Thrilling, isn't it?"

The villain stared at the hero like they thought they might be joking. They weren't.

"You were skilled enough with a blade to fool my highest ranking officers."

The hero shrugged again.

The villain used the blade to tilt the hero's head the other way. "You really do look remarkably similar to the prince, on first glance."

"Bet you regret killing your own men in a strop now."

The villain draw the blade down again, opening the smallest wound. Blood pooled in the hero's collar bone, shimmering a faint, barely there silver.

"You're one of the king's bastards," the villain said.

The hero resisted the urge to swallow.

The villain's eyes narrowed, liquid shadow, as they seemed to consider their options, before a truly terrible smile flashed across their face. Charming. Beguiling.

They looked up at their guards.

"Take our little runaway to my quarters. Do make sure that they're secure this time, won't you?"

They definitely should have ran faster.

hiii it’s my first time making a request and I saw that you were looking for Leighton Murray x reader requests.

So I was thinking about Leighton x reader, where reader knows Leightons dad and he tries to match them up. And she’s like the whole package, she plays soccer with Whitney, is an Lgbt advocate and also joins Leighton’s advanced math class. Leighton feels threatened so it’s like academic enemies to lovers.

You're better than me

“Hello,” you greeted Leighton and the other two people in the room as she walked into her advanced math class. She was new in there after her family forced her to take harder classes. The other two greeted you happily while Leighton only rolled her eyes. You had to hold in a scoff, even if she wasn't the biggest fan of you, was it so hard to say hello?

While Leighton wished that this was the only time that she had to see you, it wasn't. You were also on the football team with Whitney and you often visited the women's center. So, she wasn't safe anywhere cause Whitney liked to bring you into their dorm to study since you were pretty good in all your classes.

This was precisely why Leighton could not be more excited for the family weekend, which was crazy because her family was exhausting. But at least you would be busy too, or at least she guessed that you would be.

“Hey Dad,” she said as her father got out of the car. He immediately walked up to hug her, holding her too close for her to get any air.

“Hello, how are you? How is Essex treating you?” he asked, not really hearing the answer as she had to mumble into his chest. “I can't wait for dinner tonight, I want you to meet somebody” he added as he finally let her go.

“Meet somebody? Please tell me you don't have a side chick.” She frowned looking at him.

“Leighton! No, of course not. Now, let's go. I believe we have a packed schedule.” She nodded and followed him into the building, constantly thinking about who she might have to meet. The blonde had to say that the day went quite well, it mostly did when she was alone with her dad. They talked about college, her mum and Nico, about what she might do after her years at Essex and how his job was going.

After some long hours, it was finally time to go eat and she would finally see who he would want her to meet. As they walked into the restaurant her heart stopped when she was to whom her father was walking. There you sat in a women's suit, with some makeup and heels. God, she hated the fact that she was attracted to you right now.

“Y/n, it's so lovely of you to meet us here,” her dad said as he hugged you, making her nearly gasp. You gave him a smile as you hugged him back.

“No problem, Henry!” you told him and again the blonde nearly gasped. You turned toward her and sent her a big smile. “Hey Leighton, it's nice to see you,” you said as you pulled out the chair for her. Henry did not tell you that he would bring Leighton tonight which made the whole thing kinda awkward. You actually liked her but she seemed to hate you.

She sent you a tight-lipped smile and sat down, you and Henry then joining. “So, it seems like you two already know each other,” Henry said, giving you both a big smile while his daughter rolled her eyes.

“Yeah, we do. But, just out of interest, how do YOU TWO know each other?” the girl who hated you asked, aggressively pointing between you and him.

“Oh well, after you came out your dad wanted to know what to do, and how to act. You know it can be hard for parents of gay kids, even when they accept their children for it. They never know what is too much and what is not enough” you started to explain but didn't get far.

“Can you maybe skip all this shit and just answer my question?” she snapped making her father furrow his brows.

“Yeah, of course. Since I am an LGBT advocate your dad asked me for help” You gave her a short nod when you finished your explanation.

“Why would you ask her dad? And why would you want me to meet her?” It wasn't hard to see that she was annoyed, by you, her dad and just life in general you guessed.

“Well, she's a great woman Leighton. She plays football, has a scholarship for it, she is great at math, she is part of the lgbtq and she is exactly your type” You wanted to disappear so bad right now and it seems like Leighton wanted the same thing. For you to disappear. Her eyes were wide and her brows raised as she stared at him with disbelief.

“Dad! I told you we’re not gonna talk about my dating life. Not ever. Got it? And especially her” well, that hurt. Henry gave her an unhappy look before giving you a sorry one. You only gave him a short nod to signal that it was alright.

“Leighton that’s enough! I’ll go to the restrooms real quick before we eat” he stood up and walked away. As soon as his back was turned towards you the blonde was on her phone.

“Look,” you started and pushed her phone down so she could look at you “I know that you hate me for some weird reason but your dad was really nice and asked me to come so I said yes. I didn’t know that you were coming alright? So how about you use some manners and act like you can at least stand being in a room with me huh?” She only picked up her phone again making you sigh. “I don’t get why they talked about you so nice in the women center” you mumbled out making her look up from her phone.

“What did you just say?” She couldn’t believe your audacity. Who did you think you are that you go and talk to her and about her like that? Especially mentioning her ex. God, she hated you. You were so annoying and she didn’t even know why.

“I said that I do not understand why they said that you were nice and shit. I was really happy when I heard that you were in my advanced math class, but you only acted like a bitch the whole damn time. You even do it when I visit Whit, and the only thing I ever said to you there was ‘hi’” you ranted, happy to finally say what you’ve been thinking of for so long. Luckily for you, Henry came back before the blonde could say anything else.

“So, did you guys decide what you want to eat?” He asked as he sat down.

That was one of the most exhausting dinners you ever had. And after hours, Leighton still kinda ignored you and Henry ordering his drink extremely weird you were finally out. “Are you sure you don’t want us to drive you back to college? It’s quite far” the man asked again making you chuckle.

“Yes Henry, thank you tho. I’ll walk, need a bit of fresh air and exercise” it was a lie. You didn’t really feel like walking but the thought of sitting in a car with Leighton was not even close to what you dreamed of, so walking seemed like the best idea.

And after a really long discussion with Henry, he finally let you go. “Wait, I think I will walk with her dad. Then you can make your way back home, it’s late already and I could use the fresh air too” you sighed internally but didn’t want to make this awkward in front of the older Murray.

You waited for them to say goodbye before making your way back to college. “Why?” You just asked after a few moments of walking as you just couldn’t keep your curiosity at bay anymore.

“Didn’t wanna discuss this whole thing with him” you chuckled at her answer, it was clear that she didn’t wanna talk so you just shut up and kept walking. At some point you looked over to see the blonde hugging herself, goosebumps covering her arms. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath before deciding what to do. Right now, you hated her as much as she hated you. Why did she have to be so endearing and cute while being a goddamn asshole at the same time?

“Here” you mumbled as you draped your jacket over her shoulders, making sure that it would stay.

“What the fuck? What the fuck am I supposed to do with your cheap ass jacket?” She asked, but her voice wasn’t as harsh as it usually was as she noticed the goosebumps now covering your arms.

“Get warm. Just accept it, it doesn’t mean that you have to like me or anything. Look, I’ll even fall back ok? You can walk in front of me so nobody realizes that we were somewhere together” you immediately slowed down and let her walk to get some distance but she stopped too.

“This is a bit much don’t you think? It will be even weirder when we do it like that”

“Why do you hate me? I’ve been nice to you, you hate me. I ignore you, you still hate me and try to bully me. Why? What did I do to you? I was really excited to meet you” you looked her straight in the eyes, this time you weren’t going to break it first.

“No particular reason” she shrugged but it was a lie, this time it was obvious. So you just kept staring at her, challenging her to go with her lie. “Fine, I just feel like you may be smarter and a bit more academically advanced than me which made me… I don’t know. I just don’t like it, and then you also have to be hot and trained, I mean even now I can see your damn abs” you couldn’t help but grin as you finally knew why she hated you.

“You know, if you really feel like I am smarter than you, then I can’t say anything else other than would happily tutor you” you joked, breaking out in laughter while Leighton hit your shoulder, an unamused look on her face. “Alright, I’m sorry. But I think the same thing about you, you’re extremely smart. Way smarter than people think you are and as if that wasn’t hot enough, you also look hot. Like damn. But I was so excited to meet you because I’ve been crushing on you since you came to one of our games” you smiled, this time it was a real smile.

“And… even after I treated you like shit, would you still be open to… you know?” She asked, her voice unsure.

“Otherwise you wouldn’t have my jacket right now. So, do you wanna go on a date?”

“You really still wanna go?”

“Yeah, I do”

“Then I would love to”

“Finally” you mumbled as you walked closer to her, one hand slowly going towards her waist. You moved slow enough for her to move away, but were more than happy when she stepped closer too. After she didn’t make any sign of discomfort you leaned in and pressed your lips to hers, kissing her softly.

“I should have stopped being a bitch way earlier” she mumbled before kissing you again, the kiss getting more passionate.

You walked her home, your hands brushing against each other every now and then making a warm feeling spread in both of your stomachs. “Alright, so we will go out tomorrow after math?” You confirmed, smiling when she gave you a nod. This time she leaned in first, kissing you again before giving you your jacket.

“I cannot believe you beat me by one point in this damn math game” Leighton complained on the way to the restaurant you were taking her. You chuckled as this had been going on for about 15 minutes.

“Well you said it yourself, i am smarter than you” you joked, petting her back to assure her that you were joking. By the time the blonde finally shut up about this game you had arrived.

“Go y/n, go Whitney” Leighton screamed as she stood up while watching you and her roommate play, her body clad in your soccer jacket. The sight making you smile every time. After the game was won you quickly ran to Leighton pressing a kiss to her lips. “You did So well” she praised.

Her roommates watched from the other side as you and her smiled at each other, a similar happiness adorning your faces. A happiness no ex of Leighton had ever put on her face.

You couldn’t wait to see Where this relationship would lead.

“I don't want somebody having what we had”

Avatar: The way of water

Pairing: Neteyam x reader

Note: PART 2 of “the way that I feel about you is how you feel about her”

Sorry this took forever! But I hope you enjoy. This is based on the song “what we had” by Sody! Please listen to it!

Themes: angst! Jealously, second chance romance, arguing, fighting, pleading, rekindling, happy

Neteyam didn't know how much time had passed. A few minutes? Hours? All he knew was the pain he felt in his chest. No. His whole body felt suffocated. His tears had dried but the stains remained. The cold ground against his forehead and hands on his head. He wanted to slam his head over and over until he could erase everything that had happened. He wanted a do over.

He sat up back onto his knees. Lifting his torso up. How could he be so stupid? How could he have let you walk away? The way you looked at him, the thought made him brace his arms against his thighs so he didn’t crumble to the ground again. Everything had happened so fast. Your confession caught him off guard. Then again nothing could have prepared him for you to say you loved him, that you saw him. What you had asked him was simple.

Did he have feelings for you?

Now with a clear mind. Yes. Of course he had feelings for you. How could he not? He had pushed away any attraction, any feeling or emotion remotely close to love when it came to you. Why? Because his parents wanted him with Neriaya. Yes, they loved you but Neriaya was more grounded and less impulsive than you.

That's what his parents thought but him? He thought you were perfect. You are perfect. Perfect for him. Yes, were you a bit impulsive and liked a good adventure? Yes. But he loved that about you. Everything about you, you always thought with your heart first, you cared deeply for others and you were loyal. The most loyal Na’vi to him. So loyal that you broke your heart to be by his side and broke it again to leave his side. He understood why you left, Neriaya. But now he knew what he wanted. He didn't care what his parents wanted.

Neteyam shot up. Standing tall now. He was going to fix this.

...

When Neteyam flew back to camp on his ikran it was dark. Na’vi were finishing up dinner, walking around. He searched for you among them. Then decided to head to your hut. Before he could even start he felt a small hand on his shoulder. He turned around.

“Neteyam” Neriaya.

“Hello Neriaya.” the nervousness he felt around her was gone. He no longer left pressure to impress her for his parents.

“Where were you?” she shifted her weight, she was nervous, “I looked for you before it got dark but you were nowhere to be found.” he flashed her a sympathetic smile.

Neteyam took a deep breath, he didn't want to do this here. In the middle of the camp. Anyway, if he is going to win you back he needs to set things straight with Neriaya. He grabbed her hand and led her toward the forest.

From not too far away Neytiri and Jake watched with Neriaya’s mother. Smiling.

“Well, looks like they are a good match.” Jake looks to his wife. But her smile isn't convincing

“Yes! They will be perfect. I will tell her father before we tell others.” Neriaya’s mother moved quickly to her hut.

“Ma Jake. I’m not sure our son is happy.” Neytiri stared at the forest where her son and Neriaya had disappeared into.

“Why do you say that?” Jake was confused, this is what Neytiri and him talked about.

“I don't know. I know my son. That wasn't a happy smile.” she crossed her arms.

Jake placed his hands on his mate's arms, “Neriaya is the best choice for him.”

Neytiri pushed Jake’s hands away.

“My mother and father thought Tsu'tey was a good match for me.” She crossed her arms

Jake scoffed, “do you agree?” a smirk appeared on Neytiri’s face.

Jake pulled his mate in by her waist.

“No, you’re the only woman for me”

“Ma Jake, if our son is not happy with Neriaya we cannot force him.” She wrapped her arms around him.

“You're right.” he kissed the top of her head.

...

“I’m sorry Neriaya. You are a great hunter, a great singer and a great woman. But... I cannot take you as my mate.”

“Ne-Neteyam? But I thought you...” she was confused. From a young age her parents told her who was to be her mate and he was rejecting her?

“Neriaya. I-I am in love with someone else.”

“Y/n, it's her isn't it.” She placed a hand on her mouth, she always saw you and Neteyam together but it didn't matter to her. Because Neteyam was supposed to be hers.

“Neriaya, listen to me” he put a hand on her shoulder. “You deserve a man who knows you. Knows every part you. A man who see’s you. We have never really spent time together or know each others favorite colors!”

Neteyam knew it was silly but it was true. He didn't know the first thing about Neriaya. How to calm her down if she is upset. How to read her body language. How to make her smile and when it's real. He knew everything about you.

Neriaya sat there for a second, thinking. The tears that were once flowing had stopped. Her “love” for Neteyam were things that had been told to her about him. She never truly saw him.

“You’re right. I don't know you Neteyam.”

He smiled kindly at her. Happy to not break her heart.

“I'm sorry it won't work out between us but I wish you happiness.”

“I'm sorry too Neteyam. Goodbye and may Ewya be on your side to win Y/n’s heart.” she smiled kindly and left.

Neteyam sighed he is going to need a lot more than Ewya’s help to get you back.

...

A day had passed. When Neteyam returned from his talk with Neriaya, he broke the news to his father about not wanting to be with Neriaya.

Neteyam faced his father in their hut.

“I know what I want. I'm..Y-you cannot tell who I can love. I want to be with Y/n and that is my decision. You canno-” Neteyam stopped rambling when he felt his mother's touch on his shoulder behind him.

“We know Neteyam and it is okay.” she smiled at him.

Neteyam looked back at his father, Jake had no anger on his face just pride.

“I myself know it is impossible to not fall in love with someone you're not supposed to” Jake smirked.

Neteyam’s eyes brimmed with tears. Tears of relieve. His parents weren't upset at all. They supported him.

“Y/n will make a fine Tsahik.”

...

When you woke up the entire village was buzzing about Neteyam and Neriaya. They were no longer to be mated. Everyone assumed the pair would mate so the sudden change in plans confused everyone. Neteyam was 19 and already a year late to pick a mate.

Although it felt like your heart had fixed itself a little at the news. It didn't make you feel better. Neteyam did not reciprocate feelings for you. Even if he didn't have a mate now. He would one day and you would love him from a distance.

Your mother was next to you while you ate.

“You know. Maybe it is time for you to find a mate my daughter.”

If your mother had said that two days ago maybe you would've gone into panic mode. But today? You thought about it. You didn't want to be alone. Although your mate could never be Neteyam, there were other fine men in the village.

“Maybe it is.” you looked up at her.

She was shocked, but a smile spread on her face. She knew you loved Neteyam, but knew you were never the Sully’s first choice for their oldest son.

“I will spread the word then.”

...

The news traveled fast because during your day many Na’vi approached you. Only one had caught your eye, Ru’ak. You had been friends when you were younger but you were always glued to Neteyam.

Neteyam had noticed the men in the village talking to you. Of course men always talked to you but today was different. It was excessive. He tail flicked back and forth in annoyance. You were his. You had always been his. Why are all the men suddenly interested in you.

“Oww! Watch it.” Lo’ak howled. Shoving Neteyam, his tail had flicked him.

“Sorry.” Neteyam mumbled

“What’s got you so worked up.” Lo’ak noticed his brother had been off today.

“Y/n, I feel as if all the men in our village have talked to her today.”

“Oh you didn’t hear?” Neteyam became stiff.

“Hear what.” His breathing picking up

“Her mother told Tsahik she was looking for a mate.”

Neteyam’s head spun. No. This wasn’t happening. He had kept his distance waiting for the right time to pull you aside to talk. It had been about a week now since he and his parents made the announcement about him and Neriaya.

He thought the news would make you happy but now you had suddenly decided you needed a mate?!

“No..n-no that can’t be true.” He shook his head.

“Ru’ak is really chatting her up.” Lo’ak grinned, He loved seeing his brother riled up.

Neteyam’s head snapped in your direction, it was true. Ru’ak had made you laugh. Your beautiful smile was directed towards Ru’ak. Not him. No way was he letting Ru’ak have you.

…

The sun had started to set, Ru’ak asked you to join him on a sunset ride with your ikrans. You decided to accept the invitation. Fixing your braids and grabbing a snack in your hut. Before leaving you paused for a second. This is going fast. A little too fast. Your heart was still broken, shattered.

Were you ready to open your heart to another? The answer was no. But this was better than feeling the utter despair and loneliness from being rejected. Just as you were about to walk out again. He walked in. Neteyam.

He looked out of breath.

“Wha-what are you doing here,” you spoke suddenly feeling as out of breath as him.

“You’re going somewhere with Ru’ak.” His eye brows furrowed.

“That’s none of your business Neteyam.” You tried to walk by him but he stepped in front of you.

“Y/n..-“

You stepped back from him, frustrated. You didn’t think your heart could rip apart anymore but being this close to him felt like someone was doing just that.

“What are you doing Neteyam. Don’t you know this hurts me. You being here hurts me. You talking to me hurts me.” You looked into his eyes. Pain flashed through his. You tried to push him aside but he would budge.

“I know, but I called things off with Neriaya!” He raised his voice a little and you stopped fighting him. Did this mean?

“I heard.” You looked down

Neteyam was confused, if you had heard the news... Why did you suddenly want a mate?

“I don't understand... I heard you are looking for a mate.” Neteyam’s voice was low.

“I am.” you stood your ground, looking him in eye.

“Y/n-” he reached for your shoulder, you took a step back.

“Neteyam, it's too late.” you looked away. You weren't sure why he was doing this. Even if he confessed his feelings for you, how would you know it wasn't just so he wouldn't lose you? Is he mistaking friendship for love.

His heart dropped hearing those words leave your lips.

“Neteyam, Its hard for me to believe that suddenly you have feelings for me. That suddenly you know now that you see me and love, especially when I asked you directly if you had feelings for me.” although it hurt you to say this, you knew you had to. To protect yourself.

“I know Y/n! And trust me I have been kicking myself ever since.”

“I- I just, I'm tired Neteyam. My heart keeps being thrown around and I can't take it anymore.” tears brimmed your eyes, you tried to compose yourself.

“You don't love me, now you do? You end your engagement and I hear from you for days? And now you're mad at me?! Me. For looking for a mate when all my life I had been waiting for you.” you were angry now. Angry at him.

Neteyam saw the change in you, you were angry but so was he.

“I know I messed up Y/n, but you say you love me all your life and now you go looking for a mate?” it was a low blow and he knew it but he let his emotions get the best of him. Only with you did he seem to lose his ability to think.

You gasped in anger. “You know what, I have a date to get to. I've had enough of you catching me off guard and forcing conversations.”

He knew you were right. Maybe if he hadnt forced the conversation a couple weeks ago and now, you two wouldn't be fighting.

“Y/n..” He sighed and took a deep breath trying to clear his head to say what he actually wanted to say.

“No. Netetam. I've kept Ru’ak waiting long enough. I'm leaving.” you pushed by him and he let you. This conversation was going nowhere, he knew you. You needed to cool off before trying again.

And he was going to try again. Because there was no way he was going to let you walk away from away a third time.

...

You couldn't go on the date with Ru’ak. It was unfair to him and you let him down easy. Although you thought he was great, he wasn't the one for you. You knew that.

Instead you flew alone on your Ikran over the forest before noticing Lo’ak on certain tree.

You landed softy and climbed up to meet him, he had already seen you coming and made room for you.

“Hello Y/n” he smiled at you as you sat down.

“Lo’ak” you hugged his side. He was like a younger brother you to.

“Crazy couple weeks huh.” he smirked, he had heard all sides of the story possible besides from you. Between Kiri, Neteyam and his parents, he had a good idea of what was going on.

“You know it.” you shook your head.

“How was Ru’ak” he liked Ru’ak but he knew he was nowhere close to his older brother.

“I didnt go. I let him down easy. It wasn't fair to him.” you looked off into the sky. You enjoyed the small breeze and the smell of the forest.

Lo’ak raised an eyebrow. Proud of you. “Youre right it wasn't.”

You narrowed your eyes had him playfully, “what are you doing here” he was usually out here.

“Had to escape, all this mate talk has mother and father talking about mates for me, but if I'm being honest I feel like my mate isn't here.” he looked sad, you hugged him again.

“She may not be here, but Ewya always has a plan.” he smiled and leaned into you.

“You're right, I think I'm going to head back now, you coming?” he stood up and you followed him down the tree.

“No, I need a little more time to think, but you know where i’ll be” you winked at him and mounted your Ikran.

Lo’ak watched you leave, and he ran back to camp. He had a mission to accomplish.

...

He found just who he was looking for. Neteyam was in the hut, laying down sulking. He gave Lo’ak a tight smile before looking back up at the ceiling. Kiri was there too and he smirked at her, she tilted her head aware Lo’ak was up to something.

“Kiri! Has Y/n told you about her date yet? You have to talk to her, turns out she had a great time.” Kiri’s eyes widened, “o-oh really? I'll have to talk to then.”

Neteyam’s ears flattened back, he started to breath heavily. What the hell was Lo’ak playing at.

“Do you think they will be mates?” Kiri continued, Neteyam’s jaw clenched. It was taking every fiber in his body to not lose it.

“Yeah! Romantic Ikran ride and If I'm not wrong I think he kissed her from the way she was blushing.”

Neteyam snapped.

He stood right in front of his brother, fisted balled up against his sides.

“What the hell did you say”

“Hey, don't be mad at me that's just what I heard. If you don't believe me, I know she is at the rock you two always hang out at.” Lo’ak knew he was pouring salt into his brothers wounds. Suggesting that you would even bring another guy to your designated spot.

Neteyam shoved past Lo’ak and headed straight to you.

...

When Neteyam landed his Ikran his anger started to dissipate. Especially after seeing you alone sitting down, he started to remember that he needed to keep his head clear.

You turned to the noise near you and looked away when you saw it was him.

Neteyam kept his distance, “Y/n, is it okay if we talk?” he wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.

You took a deep breath. It was better to talk, enough of the fighting. You turned around and stood up. “Yes.”

His heart soared, you were giving him a chance.

“Y/n I know this has been so confusing and that I have caused you so much pain. But please just hear me out. I know you had an amazing date with you Ru’ak but please just listen.” he slowly started to make his way towards you.

“Neteyam-” you started to speak but he cut you off.

“Y/n, please.” his eyes held you captive, you couldn't look away even if you wanted to. You nodded your head for him to continue.

“When you asked me if I had feelings for you, I was so off guard. So many things were happening at once I couldn't think straight, usually around you it's always hard to think straight.” a small smile started to make its way to your lips.

“Even when we were little it was hard, but you always made me feel so comfortable and let me just be me around you. You know me better than anyone. I know you. You, better than anyone. What makes you laugh, sad, mad, how loyal you are, how much you care for other Na’vi, how passionate you are. And it kills me to know that I didn't see how much you were hurting over me.” your eyes started to tear up.

“Y/n, when it came to feelings for you I always pushed them away and made myself think it was only platonic. Even though j knew they weren't, it was because my parents always thought Neriaya was the best choice for me. They were wrong. I told them that, right after we talked the first time. I called off the engagement because I knew that my feelings for you were far from platonic.”

“I can't stand the thought of not talking to you one day and I know I'm being selfish, and I have no right but I can't help thinking of you every night. And I don't want to say it, because I know it's bad but I don't want somebody having what we had.”

“Y/n, I see you” his fingers brushed your chin making you look up at him. “And I love you. I always have.”

All your life you had wanted to hear those words. Your heart was beating out of your chest. Excitement and joy.

Everything he had said, All your doubts and worries disappeared. Neteyam saw you, he loved you.

“I see you Neteyam and I love you too.” tears finally spilled from your eyes.

“And for the record, I didn't go on the date with Ru’ak. I couldn't, my heart has always and will always belong to you.”

He let out a shaky laugh, finally feeling like he was getting air. The thought of you with someone else was crippling him. Lo’ak... He should've known his brother was playing him, but thank Ewya he did. He will have to thank him later.

“And I have always belonged to you.”

He brought both hands to your cheeks and he brushed away your tears with his thumbs cradling your face. You placed your hands on his wrists, holding his gaze.

Neteyam looked down at your lips then back into your eyes. You did the same. Anticipation sizzling through the air. Your entire body felt on edge. Neteyam’s breathing picked up.

“Nete..” you whispered just before closing your eyes and Neteyam closed the distance between the two you.

He groaned into your mouth hearing his beloved nickname leave your lips.

He pulled away from you for a second to look at you. How could he have waited this long to make you his? One kiss and he was ready to get on his knees for you.

He deepened the kiss and moved his hands to pull you back in and closer by your waist. Your hands gripped his shoulders.

When the two of you broke apart after several minutes you were out of breath. Panting.

“You're mine.” he grinned pressing his forehead against yours.

...

I finally finished. I am so sorry for the wait, but I kept deleting and rewriting and I am finally happy with this! If you guys want I can write a little epilogue ;). Thank you for all the supportnoknosrt one and if wasn't for all the love part 2 would never exist!

somebody that i used to know

a/n - hello! this is inspired by a scene from the manga of tokyo ghoul. i only wrote for one character because this was a little bit hard to do. i may write for more in the future with this concept.

trigger warning - mention of terminal illness.

concept - amnesia made him no longer remember her.

starring - rindou.

tagging @mitsuyeaah because she like angst a lot along with supporting my works a lot and being a lovely mutual.

"she gave me a smile. a smile that looked a little troubled, and a bit… sad. and the thought that i had such a beautiful person in my life crossed my mind."

no one wanted rindou to find out the truth.

it was strange for rindou to comprehend that he couldn't remember anything about his older brother. ran was the first person that rindou saw upon waking up in a bed.

the mechanical beating sounds of a monitor and the anaesthetic smell is the only recognisable thing that could rindou tell where he was.

the hospital's bedroom was the only thing that he could recognise in the room. the younger brother have no idea who the man was standing next to his bed that leaped out the chair when he saw his eyes slowly opening.

"rindou, are you alright?"

ran became concerned when he saw his brother shoot him a confused look along with saying the next words that caused his heart to drop.

"who's rindou?"

at first, ran wanted to believe that he was just pulling a sick joke but when he saw his brother diverted his attention to the needle jabbed into his vein, he knew something was wrong.

ran wanted to doubt his theory with the hope that his brother's strange behaviour was caused by an unexpected side effect of the aesthetic.

surely, things would be back to normal when the anaesthetics would completely wear off but ran didn't want to take the risk. if he was right, the best option would be for rindou to stay longer at the hospital despite how much ran didn't wanted want to do that.

ran couldn't neglect rindou. as the older brother, ran always made the final decision. the pattern of ignoring rindou's input was the norm but for the first time ever, ran wanted to swap the order with him. ran didn't want to find out if he was right or not.

"rindou, do you know who i am?"

"no, why would i? we just met." rindou ignored how his face dropped and didn't stop him from darting out of the room.

why should he care about a stranger.

being inside the apartment that he apparently share with ran, his older brother just felt foreign to rindou. he couldn't recognise any of the items or the interior designs of the rooms that the apartment entailed.

at first, rindou didn't want to goes along with him but the doctors sitting him down and telling the events that led up to his hospitalisation gave him but no other option to trust ran.

"you have amnesia caused by a head injury and your brother is the one that rang the ambulance."

so rindou didn't started a war with the older man when he shoved him inside a taxi but his apparent older brother still felt like a strange when he tried start a conversation in the taxi.

"rindou, how much do you remember?"

"not enough to believe your claim of being my brother."

the rest of the journey was spent in silence.

but rindou could no longer deny it when he saw photos of them together pinned to the fridge by coloured magnets. there were too many photos and the resemblance was strong enough to believe ran was telling him the truth.

the main reason why rindou couldn't notice the similarites with his brother is the differences between their hair.

ran's hair was styled into two braids with black and yellow highlights whereas his hair reached his shoulders with blue and blondish strands.

as he snuck a glance at the taller man standing next to him whose was observing the photos together with him, the shorter brother realised something that he didn't know.

his age.

"this is when we went france together." ran placed a slim finger over a photo of them standing in front of a tower.

rindou noticed the carefree look on the past version of him in the photo and it was enough to erase the last doubt that ran wasn't lying about his identity.

but rindou noticed that their hair looked a lot different. neither of them had dyed it since their hair look completely jet black. as rindou snuck a glance at his brother, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"am i the younger brother or you are?"

it was the second time that ran was shunned into silence. his eyes widened into a state of disbelief, rindou couldn't even remember how old he is.

ran wasn't going to let him out of his sight anytime soon.

finding out that he was the younger brother didn't made anything less awkward for them. the photos show that ran was a caring older brother along with it being portrays in his actions.

"rindou, do you need anything?"

"when i'll goes out, i will get it so relax."

"rindou, it's not a good idea to tell others about your amnesia."

his actions started to suffocate rindou, he would walk out of the door and disappear on ran for a long time when he would gain his memories back.

ran told him about the basics of rindou's life but it might as well been someone else because rindou really couldn't remember any of it. to rindou, it felt like he was peering into a vase without flowers inside.

at this point, rindou might as well forget about his past life and just start anew. what's the point of keeping onto friendships and relationships that he no longer knew about.

ran had tried to encourage him to text his friends, hoping that it would start to bring back his memories because ran couldn't despite how hard he tried. and his younger brother's behaviour wasn't helping.

rindou never got past a how are you text from anyone since he just gave a shrug and left them on the read mode. at this rate, ran would need to tell everyone that his brother was suffering from amesnia before he accidentally push everyone away.

the only thing is that ran really wanted to use that as a last resort. rindou values his privacy and he knew shit would hit the fan when his original personality would returns.

so ran pinned all his hopes on the weekly visits to the hospitals but even the medical staff couldn't make a breakthrough. after the third visit, ran started to feel deflated that he left rindou in the dust to take a smoke outside their apartment

rindou never paid much attention towards what ran wanted to do since he just mumble out an okay and accepted his fate of being left alone in the apartment.

after a while, the ticking sound of the clock was loud enough to catch his attention when rindou switched off the tv.

20:30

his older brother would never leave him for this long because of the memory loss.rindou would apprecipate being left alone but the fear that ran may become more overwhelming if he felt gulit towards this mistake motivated rindou to get up and hunt him down.

as rindou was wrapping a scarf around the neck, an unexpected sound echoed throughout the apartment.

knock.

surely, it must be ran but rindou couldn't help but frown at this thought. ran would never be this careless enough to leave without a house key but rindou could recall the disappointment in his brother eyes as they were leaving the hospital earlier on in the day.

the negativity must made him forget.

so rindou discarded the scarf from his neck and placed his right hand on the silver handle and opened the door without a second thought.

it was not ran.

it wasn't even a male.

it was a woman.

rindou took a double take at seeing her standing in front of him.

who is she?

for some reason, the woman became quiet too almost as if rindou was a ghost that she just encountered. a pair of blue jeans and a black shirt concealed her shoulders but rindou couldn't paid too much attention to her outfit.

she was smiling at him.

he didn't know why.

"she gave me a smile. a smile that looked a little troubled, and a bit… sad. and the thought that i had such a beautiful person in my life crossed my mind."

his monologue at seeing her smile. rindou must had knew her before the amnesia came along.

why else would his feelings be this intense? the tears shouldn’t be escaping from his eyes.

"rindo-"

her sentence was cut short because someone else grabbed onto her arm and another voice stopped her from uttering out another word.

"i told you not to come."

rindou couldn't see his face but from the hostile tone in his voice, ran was clearly pissed off at her.

but why? she have such a sad glint in her eyes. what did she do?

rindou couldn't help but stop these thoughts from articulating inside his mind but ran whisked her away before he could stop him.

"she is just an ex that broke my heart. "

this is what ran told his brother the next day after the incident.

rindou didn't entirely believe this was the truth since the woman looked so sad when she laid eyes on him.

there must be a white lie embedded inside his explanation.

but whenever rindou would try, his brother would change the topic and with the last attempt, he completely snapped.

"shut the fuck up, rindou. if you ask one more time, i am leaving your annoying ass behind in this apartment. "

rindou finally believed him at hearing his abrupt threat. it was the first time that ran ever shouted at him along with using vulgar language.

so he stopped asking his older brother since it must be a pretty bad breakup. rindou genueinly thought that she must had cheated or something. rindou was convince that getting a slap from ran would be his reply if he dare ask again.

throughout the upcoming months, the memories started to return but nothing major.

his favourite colour.

the name of his high school.

did he go to university or not.

all but nothing little tabs to rindou but whenever he would tell his brother this, a smile would appear on his face where ran no longer detested taking rindou to the hospital.

his little brother was slowly coming back.

it was only a matter of time.

the moment finally arrived but came in the worst way possible.

in a rush to get to work on time, ran carelessly left something in his room that he definitely shouldn't had. a photobook album that he never shown to anyone else.

unfortunately, rindou got to it first and when he arrived home, the first thing that greeted him was a porcelain plate being thrown at him.

on instinct, ran used the briefcase to deflect the flying plate that landed on the floor instead but the force was enough for it to shatter into fragments.

seeing the enranged look on his younger brother face hinted one thing.

"why didn't you tell me about my wife?"

the question had confirmed it. his memories had come back.

more untensils and glasses were thrown at him along with his brother swearing at him non-stop.

in the end, ran wrapped his arms around his brother neck to force him into a headlock before either of them ended up seriously getting hurt.

it didn't meant that rindou was backing down though.

"ran, you manipulative fuck, no wonder you chased her away when she came that day."

the photos from the wedding album revealed that rindou was the groom and the girl that gave him such a sad smile that knocked on the apartment's door months ago was his bride.

"calm down."

"fuck off. you guys must had an affair or something like that. it explains everything about not telling me the truth and getting rid of her when she saw me again. "

"shut up."

"she must had thought it was you. i swear that i'm going to murder you and i'm going to divorce that slu-"

ran wouldn't let rindou finish his sentence since he yanked him by the hair before pushing him away.

"shut the fuck up, you don't want to insul-"

the way that ran paused his sentence made rindou narrowed his eyes at him in suspicious but ran decided it was better to come clean before his brother would say something that he would regret forever.

"she got cancer. it's the reason why you got amnesia. when she found out, she cut ties with you because she wanted to give you a fresh start. she begged me the most not to tell you."

the horror dawned on him. it was the truth.

the explanation filled in the last gap. rindou couldn't remember the last event that happened before he woke up in the hospital.

now he did.

his wife told him about the diagnose but she wasn't ready to tell him yet. she confessed through a text when he asked her about what she wanted to do for her birthday.

rindou didn't want to ring her but he wasn't ready to come home straight away after work.

he just wanted to run and that's how he ended up being in a pub late at night before getting into a fight in a drunken haze. whoever the person was, he must had aimed for his head and their force must been strong enough to make rindou blackened out from the pain.

the incident that triggered off the amnesia but rindou no longer cared about that.

"where is she?"

ran went quiet.

he wouldn't answer him.

IT'S YOU THAT I LIE WITH

pairing: xiao/reader yes, it's you i welcome death with. in which where, all of teyvat will crumple in only a few minutes - the countdown starts. everyone gathering to accept their fate.

"Say goodbye to all of your friends and family - for Teyvat will be destroyed." Zhongli's loud voice boomed across the panicking crowd, the countdown decreasing any moment. "There is nothing I can do. I apologize." His eyes held empathy for the pleading people kneeling before him. It was no use for a disguise anymore; as he was now in his old archon's outfit. "I am merely a messenger."

The people from across the world gathers to accept their fate. Others refuse to believe it was the end and fled. All the people could do was pray and hope that some miracle will happen, yet we all know it's going to end.

On top of a mountain, they sit and pray for Celestia's forgiveness. Families come to reunite and friends come to reconcile.

When you had no one.

You watched as the people cry and hug; whilst the sky turns even contrast by the second. It was an orange-red hue, yet it was still morning.

You had absolutely no one here. You couldn't find anyone you knew.

You stood, begging for it to end quickly. When will the meteorite strike? Will it swallow everyone? Was there any chance of surviving?

Was feeling pathetic the only emotion you will experience?

One person comes into your mind.

...An old friend.

Where are you?

The last time you saw him was maybe, eons ago. That time you weren't a coward for everything, before the archon war. Before you lost everything.

Before you shielded yourself from the world.

It's okay to be a bit selfish, right? Everyone's gonna die anyway.

You descended the mountain, running to your feet. It was a confused loop. That didn't stop you, though. You didn't want to be alone, not this time. The feeling to be safe under one's company, that would be amazing. Just for once. Please.

Just let it be this time.

Almost tripping over the rocks, you continued your journey.

What was his name?

...What was it?

Loss of gradual memory was what you endured after the war. The memory of old colleagues, names - Even your own. You'd forgotten almost everything over time.

What you did remember, was the chuckle of somebody. It was faint, yet you could tell your past memories enjoyed hearing that. It was not a laugh. It was merely a chuckle, something of amusement.

You set your foot on the wooden bridge of Wangshuu Inn.

His name is just on the tip of your tongue. You know him. You know him. Who is he?!

"Finally. Just the two of us!"

"You don't like the other adepti?"

"No, dummy. I just think spending time alone with you is the best."

"...Why's that?"

"You're my best company. It's like, I can tell you everything, ████."

Who...?

"Do you think of me.. that way?"

"Yes! Please, don't ever drift away from me. Even if bad things happen. Please?"

"...Okay. Promise.

I won't leave." That chuckle.

"Heh. Thanks.. I'm tearing up, sorry. I don't know why I get so emotional, ████..."

The sky turns deep red. You were losing time.

"Hello!? Is anybody there?! I need someone... I need someone to spend this with..." You crouched, burying your head in your hands. What was his name?

"I can't be alone again." You sniff. "I haven't... I haven't remembered everything yet. I... don't want to die yet."

"Xiao, thank you. Thank you."

"Calm down... I'm right here, you know."

...Is that... his name...?

"Xiao?"

You stood up, and you almost tumbled back again once your body was covered in a hug - Dark anemo energy revealed a familiar boy.

His green hair, his slim figure...!

"Is that your name? Xiao?"

You can feel him nodding.

"I was hoping I would find you." His voice cracks. "I didn't want to see you so helpless, so I stupidly left you on your own. I left you. I thought, it was useless to try to get your memories back, after what I've done you would never-"

You hugged back.

You finally felt the feeling of warmness, under someone's arms.

"Remember that the world is ending soon, so no more crying.." You broke the hug to see his face. "Will you die with me? As weird as it sounds?"

That chuckle. No wonder you loved it so much, you were the only person that could ever hear him be so carefree.

"...Okay. Let's," He smiled. "Let's spend the last of our lives together.

To make up for lost times."

"I only forgot your name, okay? I still remember that time you almost kissed me-"

"T-That was thousands of years ago.."

old work i found in my drafts. did this when i was listening to matt maltese on loop!!!

Hey, how's it going? Well, could you do one where Rusty James decides to leave after his brother's passing, but he couldn't leave the reader behind, so he asks the reader to run away with him. However, the reader is torn because if they go with Rusty James, they'll miss their friends and family, but if they stay, they'll miss Rusty James. On the other hand, Rusty James notices the reader's confusion, and even though it hurts, he decides to leave without the reader because he didn't think it would be fair to make the reader choose between him and their family and friends. But just as he's about to leave, the reader shows up to go away with him. -(I'm sorry if I was confused, I'm Brazilian so English is not my first language)

Yes of course and don't worry I don't mind. You wrote it perfectly. Also I would love for you to request any time you want, love. <3

Rusty James had a plan. And it was to get out of there.

But he couldn't just leave his love behind. He had to take you with him. He would die without you by his side.

"Come on, pick up." He said as he twirled the phone cord, before hearing your sweet voice.

"Hello?" You said, voice full of joy.

"Hi, doll." He said sadly.

"Rusty James? what's wrong, babe?"

He sighed.

"I have to leave. I can't stay here anymore, doll. Come with me please." He forced out.

"What do you mean? What happened Rusty?"

"He got shot, man. Please I'll tell you everything later. Come with me."

You cried, thinking about the decision carefully.

"Rusty- I can't. What about my parents? I'll miss them. I wanna go with you. But I don't think they'd let me leave."

"It's okay, love. I'll come visit every now and then. I love you so much." He said before hanging up the phone.

"Wait-"

You took the phone away from your ear, looking at it before cursing and slamming the phone down.

You packed your bags, running downstairs to see your parents looking at you.

"Where are you going y/n?" Your mother asked.

You hesitated, tears falling, looking at the clock as you didn't want to be too late.

"Rusty-James needs help, mama. His brother was shot-"

"So? That doesn't give you the right to walk out because of some boy. Especially not Rusty James and his bad ways." your father said, pointing a finger at you before your mother yelled at him.

"You have got to be kidding. His brother was shot, Dan. He needs somebody. You know he ain't got a soul in this world that cares about him more than Y/n. Go y/n.-"

"She ain't goin. I said so."

"And I said she can. And if you don't like it, you can walk out with her."

You hugged your mother, running out the door and down the street to the nearest train station.

Rusty James felt terrible for making you decide between him and your family. That's not something a good boyfriend would do.

And he wish he was a better boyfriend. He felt bad for all the fights he started, all the tears he made fall from your beautiful eyes.

He couldn't even think about it more before tears of his own began to fall.

He waited patiently, thinking about you and if you were gonna make it on your own. He wish he could kiss you and hug you just one more time.

"Rusty!- excuse me." You said as you pushed past other people that were waiting for a train to arrive.

He jumped up, looking around for you. He knew your voice like the back of his hand. He thought he was just imagining it before seeing your figure.

"Doll? What are you doing out here? Why aren't you at home?" He said, quickly wiping his tears so you didn't see.

"I'm coming with you." You smiled, holding up your bag in his face.

He shook his head.

"No you should stay. I don't even know where I'm gonna go, Doll. I don't want you sleeping on the streets with me like that. You have a home with people who will miss yo-"

"Rustle James. I would miss you way more than I would anybody. I'm coming with you. Now are you gonna give me a hug or are you just gonna stand there like a doofus?

He brought you into a tight hug, his breath shaky. He thought he was gonna have to leave and never see your face again. He would cry enough tears to fill the ocean if that were true.

"I love you, y/n. So much."

Hope you like it! don't be afraid to request more! I loved this it was so creative!

Introduction:

Mention of triggering topics such as Su!c1de.

Hello everybody, welcome to the introductory post of helping-online.

Recently I have had three online friends attempt (one succeeding) at taking their lives.

The first one I had known the longest, I was 30 minutes too late to stop her, but she only attempted and is alright.

The second one happened without warning, I had known her for the least amount of time. She was given the account by the person above and attempted (succeeded) 3 - 5 days after the incident.

The third one I was there for. I saw her post 5 minutes after she put it out, and tried my best to help her. I had details. Her country, she was struggling with mental help, she was in her house in the closet and had a gun. I don't know if she's okay.

This blog was made for people who have friends online and in real life to try and help others and spot signs of struggling mental health. After the events above I knew I couldn't follow, and I had to make a change. That's why I made this blog. To help you, or others around you who may be struggling.

If you are struggling with su!cidal thoughts:

. Know you are NEVER alone, there is always somebody on your team. This blog is a safe space to comment your problems.

. Tell somebody. A problem shared is a problem halved. Parents, friends, family, people online. All here to help.

. Think about who you might effect, and how they might react. What does this do for them?

. If you ever have any triggering thoughts or emotions call your local suicide hotline. Here are the numbers for a few countries below:

Sourced from this link, there are way more: https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/

America/U.S.A:

Emergency: 911

Hotline: 988

Australia:

Emergency: 000

Hotline: 131114

Brazil:

Emergency: 188

Canada:

Emergency: 911

Hotline: 1 (833) 456 4566

China:

Emergency: 110

Hotline: 800-810-1117

France:

Emergency: 112

Hotline: 0145394000

If you are trying to help somebody (online) and it is an emergency (they are threatening to do it) try these steps as soon as possible:

. Treat every warning sign as a possibility.

. Message them tell them that there's another option, that you're here for them to talk, that they need to talk to a hotline.

. Ask them their situatuion (where are you, what weapon, what time, what's your full name etc.)

. If you're in their country try and make a call to the hotline, or the emergency call. This lowers their chance of succeeding the attempt.

. Try to calm them down, "put this --- down" or "Can you stay on the phone and talk to me about ---"

. If they don't answer over text, call them until they pick up. This was something I didn't do and this could have really helped my third friend because I was there for her.

Sometimes being there isn't enough, but whatever happens is never your fault.

REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT THEIR HEALTHCARE HOTLINE, NOR ARE YOU TRAINED TO DO THIS SO WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS ENOUGH. Never feel guilty about these things. (and neither am I, I'm just trying to help people in need)

If you are worried that a friend might be trying, but have no proof look out for signs, and ask a support network for help.

Getting over the death of somebody close to you is hard, especially if you don't know if they're okay. Please know that you aren't alone. Please know that you don't have to do this.

Helpful links:

https://www.lifeline.org.au/media/3fzlcsza/web-revd_june-2022_ll-2pp-toolkit_help-someone-at-risk-of-suicide.pdf

A reblog, comment, like, or any kind of attention on this blog would be greatly appreciated as it can spread the word and maybe even help individuals struggling.

The Age of Sims 2.6 - Part 39 - “Harvesting at Gloria's”

"Where's Noah?"

"I'm free from him and that damn dog today…" He began, "Well -- only until around 5 o'clock. Then it's back to the races."

"You know you love that dog."

He grumbled, but gave her a nod anyway. "I wish he'd just listen to me."

"Maybe he does listen, but decides to ignore all you have to say."

He watched her as she held a straight face. "Are you trying to tell me something?"

"What would I be trying to tell you?"

"That I talk too damn much and it probably goes unheard or… that I talk too damn much and it doesn't go unheard, but it gets ignored because nobody wants to listen to somebody like me carry on."

"You're awfully chatty this morning. How many cups of coffee did you have?"

"One and was on my way to a second, but I think I shouldn't now." He cleared his throat. "You're not dressed for work."

"But I'm going to work. I haven't got the time to change and I don't think I'll be greeting what little customers we're sure to have."

"If I come along I can be another customer."

"I told you about that."

"Doesn't mean I've got to listen." He shrugged, "It's only fair you know… since I don't get listened to."

"I haven't got time for this, William."

"Shame." He stretched, "Guess I'll be on my way then… got a few things to clean up around the yard and harvest some, too."

"I told you I'd harvest them."

"I need some of them to take home with me." He caught her look, "Gizmo got into my crops… made a meal or about ten of them before I even realized." He saw her smirk, "Don't you dare laugh. That's good produce I'll never get back."

She couldn't help, but smile as he began walking away.

"I mean it. And don't think I'm leaving until you get back from work so make sure you get back on time."

"Don't tell me what to do."

"It's only a reminder. I'd like to see you again before the day is through."

"Don't overwork yourself."

"Go on and quit worrying about me. Gardening is like leisure to me.

----------

The word 'leisure' stuck in his mind for the rest of his time at Gloria's, knowing from years ago he thought about turning his love for gardening into some sort of business. It was maybe a dream he had when he retired from the Science and Medical industry, but he was far too pressed for time to give it an honest thought.

----------

Unfortunately Gloria wasn't going to make it on time due to several problems at work. She told him last minute and so he decided to shower at her place and lock up before he went back home, now with a bundle of fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables he harvested.

What he didn't expect was to find someone at her door.

"Hello." He said, looking around for a stack of cookies or other fundraising items. When he didn't see any, he asked. "Can I help you?"

"I'm here to see my Ant."

"Ant?" He thought for a moment, wondering if Gloria ever mentioned she had a niece but kept coming up with nothing. "Are you sure you have the right house?"

"Sure. My Ant Gloria's lived here my whole life."

He looked around a bit and nodded. "Well, she isn't here right now…" He was going to continue with her being at work, but he wasn't sure what he should say and just how much information he should give away. "I could let her know you stopped by…"

"I'll just come back later." She said as she took in his apperance. "Are you a landscaper?"

"No."

"What are you then?"

"I…" He lost his voice in the same way he did when his nephew questioned his relationship, "I'm a… really good friend of your Ant." He cleared his throat, "That's why I'm here. Anyway, I've got somewhere I need to be so you should run along and I bet if you come back in a few hours your Ant will be home."

"Okay. Bye!"

"…bye…"

As she headed down the steps of the front porch, William fell into a funk as he realized how stupid he sounded when answering such a simple question.

Don't you think that it's a bit dodgy how 13 basically kills a TARDIS to kill the Daleks and never gets called out on it?

Oh it's super messed up she did it, it's also a bit messed up she wasn't called on it, either, lbr, but this has been one of those things i'm not sure how i feel about. Because hm, hello, that was a murder. That they didn't face consequences for, or even a call out. But also, it's not the first time the doctor's done a murder and not been called on it or faced any consequences for, it happens occasionally.

I know it's happened more than once, but hilariously the only one i can remember rn is one also written by chibnall. Maybe he just has a ~thing (I am talking about dinosaurs on a space ship, which is an episode i hate and probably only remember Because i can't stand it, but still). I distinctly remember rewatching the episode and thinking to myself that I could add that to my list of episodes where the doctor offs somebody, and now I can't remember the others, which is typical, really. Though, I personally think 12 pushed the guy, because he'd never have jumped on his own, so that moment's on the list.

(this whole list was a Thing to start with bc i find it fascinating that the doctor sometimes casually does genocides and doesn't catch Half the fandom crap for it than they do if they kill one person. Something something about crimes that we are able to comprehend and feel emotionally and those we aren't. Like, I cannot comprehend the total annihilation of a species in a single second at all, but I can comprehend a single death and have an emotional response to that one. I find it fascinating ngl).

But to get back on subject, in the end, I think my real answer to this would be to say that it depends on Why she's not called on it. When it aired, people in fandom immediately clocked what she'd done was bad and messed up, so obviously a telling was not strictly Necessary in that people worked it out for themselves.

But, was she not called out for it in the show bc A) they didn't believe it was Necessary to do so bc it wasn't supposed to be bad, B) they didn't believe it was necessary to do so because they realised the audience members both old enough to understand and familiar enough with the snow to know tardises are alive would realise what had happened Without mentioning it and know what she'd done was bad without a hand hold or C) she was not called on it simply because there was nobody To call her on it.

Or it could be a mix of the three different things above. Like, they thought it was messed up for her to do it, but she simply was not called on it bc it was exactly like a few of her other greatest and very messed up hits. Nobody had the context to call her on it, so she wasn't called on it even though it Was messed up just because nobody knew it was messed up.

I like, work on a case by case basis as to whether media should call out its characters for bad behaviour and if it's wrong for them not to because you can't paint everything with the same brush and have any sense of nuance, so I guess I think it depends on if you think it's acceptable or not for a show to portray a character doing something bad that is obviously bad without mentioning it, and if that not doing so implies any kind of acceptance of it. I don't think in general the lack of call outs in media imply acceptance, personally, but that doesn't mean there aren't times when call outs Are necessary.

But I do genuinely think it depends on their reasoning as to if it's actually dodgy they didn't do it or not. Like, if they didn't call her on it bc she apparently did nothing wrong, that's dodgy as hell. If they didn't because they portrayed something bad and trusted the audience to get that without being told, that's ambiguous to me and i am personally unsure how i feel about this instance, and since i've not worked it out in two years, I don't expect to any time soon.

If they didn't do it for watsonian reasons involving the lack of informed knowledgeable characters actually there to call her on it, then i'm fine with that in a vacuum? The fam don't ever actually work out if they think the tardis is alive or some kind of super argumentative AI and that 13 implodes one would probably suggest the ai thing to them, lets be real (even though they'd be very wrong, she hides her worst from them). Jack has basically been trained by the doctor to not ask too many questions at this point by the doctor treating him awfully when he does, And on top of that, he's more ruthless than the doctor to start with and I doubt he'd care much.

I think, in general, instead of a callout, i'd have personally liked a Consequence instead? I don't think bad actions necessarily require a call out bc audiences aren't thick and neither are kids, especially In context of the lack of people to call her out on it. But I do think that consequences should be more often utilised unless you're deliberately showing a moment where somebody Gets Away With Something.

So I'd have loved a consequence for her. Like, 13 desperately needs another tardis being alive and well to do something vital and Oh No the world is going to burn to a cinder bc she killed the last one in a callous last ditch plan which suddenly makes it very clear exactly What she did by killing one! So she's slapped in the face by it even though she didn't have anybody to call her on it at the time. The audience is reminded that what she did was wrong without compromising characterisation, ~viola.

TLDR, it depends on Why she wasn't called on it as to if i think it's necessarily dodgy she wasn't (personally i'd have called her on it, but I don't think it's an automatic black mark she wasn't considering the circumstances of there being nobody would could effectively do so), but i do think it's dodgy she didn't catch any consequences for it, actually? idk, i would have done it differently but i'm a terrible writer so I don't know how. I also would like to know the plan for this show pre-pandemic so i can see what didn't happen through necessity via episode cuts and what didn't happen bc nobody thought it was necessary. It's so hard trying to pick apart anything post rotd without knowing this.

#cynicalclassicist #dw shit #i think this may be too nonsense to add to #dw meta #but here we are anyway #i had an answer for this one right away bc i've spent a long time not being able to come to a proper conclusion and didn't have to #think about it lol

📞 a character others dislike but you don’t?

Hi hello it is me, the guy who goes 'omg i love them' when the worst character you've ever seen shows up.

in no particular order:

Shinji Ikari! I love him so much!!! everyone wants to call him a whiny brat, and I'm like. No. Please understand. He's 14 and SEVERELY traumatized. He has had to go through life in a post-apocalyptic world, abandoned and then manipulated by his father, was constantly accused of doing shit he didn't do (the bike incident!) and then bullied to hell and back by people everyone told him were his friends. I love him so much he's so fucked up. he is desperate to find somebody he can rely on. and he finds somebody who is open about their feelings. Somebody who tells him he's worth it. And then he gets betrayed. And he has to kill that person.

My friend calls me an enabler but I'm like. I think buying him a smoothie and a cd is not enabling.

Son Pan (GT) I've gone on at length as to why I love her, but in essence it's bc I find her incredibly relatable to my younger self. Like from a narrative standpoint she kinda sucks, but from where I'm standing I find her actions completely reasonable, if perhaps not acceptable. I love her.

Gwen Cooper. The fandom has chilled out a lot as of late, but there was a time when being a Gwen stan was a death sentence. She is my girlfail girlboss. She can do anything except maintain a healthy relationship with literally any given human being. I have the gif of her crying while eating pizza burned into my brain. My beloved.

~~~

I'll stop there, but rest assured I love me a guy nobody likes

Five Nights at Freddy's: Salvaged, Night 21: I Can't Fix You

''This is what happens when you leave it to somebody else. If you want it done right, you should just do it yourself. You oversaturate your world with nothing but machines. You might make everyone happy, but you're dead inside just like me.''

– I Can't Fix You by The Living Tombstone & Crusher-P (Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location)

xXxXxXx

Springtrap placed Sam on the couch, feeling desperate. Sam looked quite pale, with him guessing that the remnant that was injected into her spread through her body. However, he had no idea what would happen to her. Realizing that the situation was getting out of control and that this was something he couldn't fix, he picked Sam's phone and scrolled through her contact list, finding Emma's number in it. He had no other choice but to tell Emma what happened.

''Hello?''

''Emma, you need to get home right now. Sam has collapsed,'' Springtrap said frantically.

''What? How? What happened?! What did you do?''

''I… Just, please hurry up.''

The call was suddenly disconnected, with Springtrap still holding the phone. He knew that, once Emma finds out what happened, she'd put the blame on him. He didn't care, as he feared that Sam's life was in danger.

Why did this have to happen?

Sure, Sam told him that she was at fault for actually touching the scooper, but Springtrap knew that, in the end, it was his fault. He was the one who made that damn machine and he hadn't properly checked whether it would still get activated even after he had dismantled it.

He had no idea how much time had passed, but suddenly he heard a car door outside slamming, guessing that Emma borrowed her friend's car to return home as quick as possible. Emma ran into the house, seeing Sam passed out on the couch. She turned to Springtrap, giving him a furious look that caused him to back away.

''What happened?!'' she yelled at him.

''I'm sorry...'' he muttered. ''It was an accident… Emma, I…''

''Why did you let it happen?! You said you would watch over her!'' Emma was livid, but suddenly stopped when she saw the distraught look on his expression. She looked at Sam, with her expression changing to despair as she saw how pale Sam looked. She crouched next to Sam, taking her hand, which was cold. She put her palm on Sam's forehead, realizing that she was suffering from a high fever. She realized that keeping her at home like this won't do any good.

''We'll talk about this later,'' she said, noticing Springtrap's stunned look. ''Get her in the car. She needs to go to the hospital. Where are the car keys?''

Springtrap nodded, pointing at the table. He then quickly lifted Sam up and went outside, placing her in the back of Emma's car. Emma emerged shortly after, getting into the car and turning it on. As she pulled out of the driveway, she saw Springtrap watching them from the porch. There was a look of regret and dismay on his expression. It was clear to her that he didn't want this to happen and that he was just as worried about Sam as she was.

She took a deep breath, knowing that this confrontation would have to wait.

xXx

Once Emma had left, with Springtrap went back inside the house. He was frantically pacing through the hallway, trying to tell himself that things would be fine. Sam would get the necessary help and things would eventually return to normal.

Who am I kidding? This is a disaster!

''Of course it is!''

Springtrap frowned, looking around for the source.

''You have hurt another person. How many are you going to hurt until you're finally satisfied?''

''It wasn't my intention to let her get hurt!'' Springtrap snapped back.

''But, you did. In fact, you got her almost killed.''

''I don't need another reminder,'' Springtrap replied. He sighed, sitting down on the couch. ''I don't want to lose her.''

''Too late, buddy. It's time to say goodbye.''

''Forget it,'' Springtrap replied. ''I had an agreement with Sam.''

''You also had one with Emma. Your stay here won't last.''

''It doesn't matter whether I'll stay or not. The only thing that matters is that Sam will be fine,'' Springtrap replied.

''If she will be fine. So far, you have no idea what might happen to her. She might end up just like your other victims, like your own family.''

''Don't you think I am not aware of that,'' Springtrap replied. ''I think about it the whole time, constantly second-guessing my choices. It is agonizing and it is annoying, probably the kind of suffering you wanted me to experience.''

''True, but it isn't enough.''

Springtrap's eyes glowed in a faint purple, with him feeling unnerved. He had to wonder what this entity considered a fitting punishment for him.

xXx

Sam opened her eyes, realizing that she was lying on the bed in her bedroom. It was dark outside, with her wondering whether it was already night. She tried to get up, although it took her a lot of willpower to even move her limbs, which felt as if they were made out of lead.

''Springtrap? Mum?'' she said, looking around her empty room. The last thing she remembered was falling down in the living room and all of her surroundings going black. ''Hello?''

She was quite sure that someone would be with her after she had fainted, so the situation felt quite strange to her. However, as she opened the door, she got almost blinded by a bright light. As the light subsided and she entered the room, her vision went blurry. Or rather, it felt as if the room didn't take its shape.

''Am I dreaming?'' Sam muttered, when the room finally took the shape of a dark corridor. She suddenly heard giggling at the end of the corridor, and followed the sound. There was another giggle, sounding like it belonged to a child. ''Is anybody there?''

Suddenly, she saw something moving in the shadows and quickly followed it. The corridor led to another, which led to a fork. Sam stopped in front of the fork, wondering which path to take. There was another giggle, which she followed. However, no matter how fast she ran, the giggle she heard would remain at the same distance. She stopped, realizing that blindly following random sounds wouldn't help her much. Instead, she focused on her current surroundings.

There should be something that could explain me where I am.

She believed that this was probably a dream, but her experience with the supernatural showed her that things weren't always the way they seemed. She looked down at her arm, which was still bandaged, but it didn't hurt anymore, even after she pressed hard against her injury.

I don't think that this is a good sign.

She focused on the corridor, deciding to move forward, but at a slower pace. She ignored the giggling, figured that she shouldn't be paying it any attention. However, even after she moved away from the sound, she could still hear it. She wasn't moving closer to it, but she wasn't moving further away from it either.

Is there anything I can do about this situation?

It seemed that the dark corridor became somewhat lighter and less blurry. Sam could see that there were posters on the walls and strange shapes on the floor. As she entered the next corridor, she found some kind of figure which was about her height. As she approached, she saw that the figure had a broken light bulb flickering in it's head, briefly illuminating it.

''Freddy?'' As it turned out, the figure was actually an empty Freddy suit that had been put on a stand. Sam approached it cautiously, then took another look at her surroundings. ''Am I at Fazbear's Fright?''

Suddenly, the lights started flickering above her, illuminating the corridor, and showing her that she seemed to be indeed inside some kind of replica of Fazbear's Fright. She heard the giggling again, but she felt that it was too real to be some kind of recording.

''Hello? Anybody here?'' she called out. There was another giggle, but this one was higher-pitched than the first one. She wondered whether there were more people inside the building. ''Hello?''

There was more giggling, with another voice joining the first two. Sam continued walking through the corridor, this time focusing on whether those voices would say something. Something told her that she couldn't follow them, at least not for now. She heard giggling again, with a fourth voice joining them, followed by steps. There seemed to be people running through the building. Sam tilted her head.

''What game are you playing?'' she asked, hoping they they would hear her. The giggling suddenly stopped, with Sam realizing that she finally had their attention.

''You shouldn't be here.''

While the voice was clear, as if someone stood right next to her, Sam was still alone in the corridor.

''I know,'' Sam replied. ''Don't worry, I will leave.''

''You don't have to. You can play a game with us if you want. You could be 'it'.''

''We have a lot of fun here and nobody gets hurt.'' Sam's vision became blurry as the corridor was once again replaced by that blinding light, changing into a new room.

''You can be friends with us instead of that bunny. You're nice.''

''I'm sorry, but I have to refuse,'' Sam replied. While she couldn't see them, she was quite sure that they were glaring at her. ''Why are you even here? Why don't you leave?''

''You are the one who interrupted our game!''

''Besides, we can leave whenever we want.''

''Maybe you could leave with us.''

Sam felt a little tense as she heard that. She was quite certain that she didn't want to leave with them. She needed to find a way out of this place.

''Well, I guess I should go now,'' she said, slowly withdrawing as the room took a more recognizable shape. It looked similar to Henry's fake Freddy's location. Sam gasped as she felt someone grabbing her hand and looked down, only to see a little boy looking back at her, smiling.

''Even if you go back, you will return anyways. Why don't you stay and play with us?''

''No,'' Sam replied. ''I'm sorry that you're in this situation, but I'm not planning on staying here.''

''He isn't your friend,'' the boy said, frowning. ''He wasn't our friend either.''

''I know,'' Sam muttered, sighing. She then gave him a determined look. ''That's why I want to return, so nobody gets hurt anymore.''

The boy rose an eyebrow, not quite believing her. Sam frowned, looking up and noticing a door, figuring that that was the exit. She walked over to it, briefly glancing back, only to see four children – three boys and one girl – staring back at her.

''You should leave too,'' she told them, then exited the place as everything around her turned black.

xXx

As she woke up, the first thing she felt was a strong headache, followed by throbbing in her arm. She was lying on a bed, connected to an IV drip. Her injured arm was covered in fresh bandages. As she glanced to her side, she saw her mother giving her a look of relief.

''Sam, how do you feel?'' Emma asked her.

''I feel like a truck hit me,'' Sam replied, squinting. Everything went blurry. ''This isn't my room.''

''You collapsed, so I had to bring you to a hospital,'' Emma explained, noticing the look of guilt on Sam's expression. ''What happened?''

''I accidentally got myself stabbed by the remnant injector,'' Sam said, blinking as her vision slowly cleared. She took a deep breath, trying to move, but her limbs felt like lead. She just looked at her mother, who was confused. ''I guess you didn't have time to ask Will for an explanation. Seriously, this isn't his fault. He actually dismantled that damn thing, but I just had to pick up a part that was still functional.''

''I see,'' Emma said, crossing her arms and frowning. ''Rest assured, we'll have a conversation about it once we go back home.'' Sam felt anxious, with Emma caressing her hair gently. ''Don't worry. You should focus on getting better.'' She then stood up. ''I'll be back soon, I just need to make a call.''

''Okay,'' Sam replied, sighing. She figured that it would be better to not tell her mother about what she just experienced. I know I should be freaked out by this, but I just don't care.

xXx

Hours had passed while Springtrap was sitting on the couch in silence, hoping that Sam would be fine. She simply had to be.

Even when I try to fix everything, it goes horribly wrong; and Sam had to suffer because of my mistakes. Not only her, but Elizabeth, Sammy, Michael as well. Even Henry…

He felt horrible, wishing he had never brought her there. Suddenly, he heard music playing, only to realize that it was Sam's phone ringing. He quickly picked it up, seeing that it was Emma who was calling.

''Hello? Emma-''

''Before you start explaining yourself, Sam is fine. Her fever has been reduced, her injured arm had been patched up and she would be released this evening. As a matter of fact, she had just woken up and the first thing she told me was to not get mad at you,'' Emma said, with Springtrap feeling flustered. ''Nevertheless, the doctor was curious about why she ended up collapsing, assuming it was some kind of infection. He did a few tests, but didn't find anything and, honestly, I don't think he will. However, I know that you know exactly what caused it and I want a detailed explanation once we're back.''

''Okay,'' Springtrap muttered. However, he still felt anxious. ''Emma, I'm sorry. I should've-''

''Afton,'' Emma interrupted him. ''You can either continue stressing out about what happened, or you can learn from your experience and prevent this from happening again. Make your choice.''

She then canceled the call, leaving Springtrap in stunned silence. To be honest, he thought she'd be freaking out more and scream at him. However, the fact that she was so calm was quite unnerving.

''You're in trouble!''

''Shut up.''

xXx

''I'm sorry for what happened,'' Sam told Emma as they were driving home, looking at her bandaged arm. While she wasn't sure whether her past injuries would leave her with a scar, she was quite sure that this one would.

''What happened, happened,'' Emma replied in a stern tone. She then sighed. ''You and Afton gave me the scare of my life. The way he acted, you'd think it was more than just a fever… although, I guess that I am right with my assumption.''

Sam kept quiet, just staring through the window as they entered the driveway. It was late evening and Cassie's car, the one Emma used to get home, was gone, with Emma assuming that Cassie picked it up after work. The front door opened as she parked the car, with Springtrap standing on the porch. He was relieved to see that Sam was, while still a little pale and unsafe on her feet, was otherwise fine. He approached them, noticing that Emma was glaring at him, while Sam was happy to see him.

''Do you need help?'' Springtrap asked her, with Sam nodding.

He tried to avoid eye-contact with Emma as he held Sam's arm and helped her get inside the house and sit down on the couch. Sam took a deep breath, leaning back. She felt a little dizzy. Springtrap then glanced at Emma, who pointed at the couch, with him quietly sitting down next to Sam. Emma then crossed her arms, glaring at both of them and tapping with her foot on the floor.

''Honestly, when I left you two this morning, I didn't expect this to happen. However, considering what you're usually up to, I probably should've,'' she said, then looked at her daughter. ''Sam, you're grounded.''

''What?!'' Sam stared at her mother in stunned silence. As far as she remember, her mother had never grounded her before in her life. Emma then turned to Springtrap, was just as stunned as Sam was.

''Afton, you are going to make sure that she stays in her room. Understood?'' she said. Springtrap gave her a confused look, but before he could say anything, Sam interrupted her mother.

''Mum, why-''

''You want to know why I'm grounding you?'' Emma turned to Sam, tilting her head. ''You are allowed to continue with whatever you had planned, but only after I'm convinced that you won't collapse again.''

''Okay, I guess…'' Sam muttered, still baffled by Emma's decision.

''I thought you'd protest more about your punishment,'' she said, then shrugged. ''On the other hand, keeping you at home so you would get some rest isn't exactly a punishment. I mean, usually, I would try to make sure that you aren't constantly being locked up in your room. I guess I'm really not the type of parent who punishes her child.''

''True. You're much better at making people feel bad by talking to them,'' Springtrap said.

''Thanks,'' Emma said, turning to him and noticing how anxious he was. She rolled her eyes. ''Don't worry, I'm not going to kick you out. While I am still angry that you let this happen, I know that you didn't want to let Sam get hurt. Sometimes, you cannot prevent accidents from happening and, yeah, it's frustrating. What I'd like to know is what exactly caused Sam to collapse.''

''It's called remnant,'' Springtrap said. ''It is a substance that ties the soul of the dead or dying to their new body.''

''So, remnant is the reason why you're tied to this animatronic suit?'' Emma said curiously.

''Yes, but remnant isn't exactly reliable. It breaks at high temperatures, which is why the best way to destroy a haunted animatronic is to incinerate it,'' Springtrap explained. He glanced at Emma, who was now glaring at him.

''I assume you don't want to tell me how you discovered the existence of remnant,'' Emma said in a chilly tone, with Springtrap lowering his head. He felt like Emma was reading his mind. ''I am right, aren't I?'' She sighed. ''In any case, do you have any idea whether the remnant would have an effect on Sam?''

''Honestly, I wish I knew. As I said, everyone who came into contact with it was already dead or dying,'' Springtrap replied, only to notice that Emma was still glaring at him. If looks could kill, he'd be dead again. Emma then rubbed her temple.

''Hopefully, Sam won't experience anything beyond collapsing and suffering from a fever,'' she said, still glaring at Springtrap. She then turned to Sam, giving her a sympathetic look. Despite the fact that her mother was on her side, Sam still felt that it was her fault. ''Are you okay, sweetie?''

''I just want to go to sleep,'' Sam replied, with Emma and Springtrap exchanging concerned looks.

xXx

''Sam?''

Springtrap opened the door to Sam's room, but she seemed to be already asleep. He felt a little disheartened, as usually Sam and he would always have a talk before she went to sleep. He closed the door, about to return back to his room, when he suddenly stopped due to Emma standing right in front of him. He was stunned to see her, feeling anxious due to the annoyed look she gave him.

''Is something wrong?'' he asked, with Emma frowning. ''I shouldn't have asked, right?''

''Isn't it obvious?'' Emma asked sarcastically. Springtrap sighed, lowering his head and stepping away from her.

''Go on, yell at me. I deserved it,'' he said bitterly. Emma shook her head.

''Is that going to make you feel better?'' she asked, with Springtrap giving her a confused look. ''It makes sense, since you're used to being punished for every little mistake you make. Or am I wrong?''

''What do you want?'' Springtrap asked, his tone a mix of annoyance and resignation.

''I want to know what you're so afraid of,'' Emma said. ''I mean, I know that you have a good reason to be afraid of me, but so far, I haven't done anything that would warrant such fear. As I said, I'm not going to keep you away from Sam. So, what is it that you fear so much?''

Springtrap was at first silent, looking away from her and closing his eyes. He really didn't want to talk about it, or anything for that matter, but would keeping everything to himself make the situation better? Not to mention, he wasn't really keen on talking to Emma about his issues. He sighed, opening his eyes, which were now glowing purple.

''I'm afraid that Sam would hate me,'' he admitted. ''It is obvious that sooner or later I would make some kind of mistake that would get her-'' He cut himself off, not wanting to finish the thought. ''I could lose her forever.''

''You certainly looked like your life was falling apart,'' Emma said, noticing the anxious look on Springtrap's expression. He was completely torn in this situation, unable to make any kind of decision. Emma couldn't help it, but feel pity for him. He deserved to suffer, but she had to wonder whether there was even a point to it. He went through one Hell, was another one really necessary? ''You know that you cannot fix your mistakes, so you should focus on not making any new ones.''

''It's not that easy,'' Springtrap replied.

''True, but from what Sam told me, you actually put some effort into preventing this from happening, even if you lacked the foresight to realize that Sam would get once again too curious for her own good,'' Emma said, then smiled warmly. ''You should talk to her about it. I'm sure you two will be able to figure something out.''

''So, you're not going to do anything about me?'' Springtrap asked, with Emma tilting her head.

''No, mostly because I figured that you got tortured enough for today,'' Emma replied, turning and walking to her room. ''Good night, Afton.''

''Good night, Emma,'' Springtrap muttered, still standing in the hallway, a bit stunned. He then sighed, going to his room and closing the door, then leaning against it with a pained look on his expression. The sense of emptiness spread through his chest.

Why do I feel so dead inside?

xXx

''Springtrap? Spring?'' Sam observed the bunny animatronic, who seemed to be lost in his thoughts, staring ahead blankly. ''William!''

Springtrap snapped out of his thoughts, looking at her as if he just had noticed her, despite the fact that they were in Sam's room since this morning. He was sitting on Sam's bed, with Sam sitting on the other end of her bed, leaned against the pillow.

''Is there anything you need?'' he asked.

''Yeah,'' Sam replied, with a look of concern on her expression. ''I don't want to see you being so depressed. What's the matter?''

''I've just been thinking about yesterday,'' Springtrap replied, sighing. ''I shouldn't have brought you there. You're lucky you managed to escape with only a fever, as things could've ended up much worse.''

''Yeah, about that…'' Sam fidgeted with her fingers, noticing Springtrap's shocked expression as he realized that there was a lot more to it than he initially thought. She then gave him a curious look. ''Honestly, I am surprised that you haven't questioned me about my experience with the remnant. After all, you did say that you don't know what happens when someone who is still alive gets injected with it.''

''Why should I ask you that?'' Springtrap asked her. ''Sam, the most important thing to me currently is your wellbeing.'' He gave Sam a sheepish look when she raised an eyebrow, apparently not buying it. ''Although, I admit that if this was before we became friends, I would probably try to find out as much as possible about the effects the remnant had on you.'' He shook his head. ''But, now, that would be just wrong.''

''Well, I don't have a problem with it,'' Sam replied, with Springtrap looking stunned. She then bit her lip, grinning. ''I actually wanted to tell you about it, but you need to promise me you won't tell Mum anything. She will freak out if she finds out what I had experienced.''

''I promise I won't tell her,'' Springtrap said. ''So, what happened?''

''I don't really know what to call it, but it was either a dream or an actual out-of-body experience,'' Sam said, noticing the look of horror on the animatronic's expression. ''All I know is that I woke up in some kind of location that at first looked like my room, then turned into Fazbear's Fright, then turned into the location Henry burned down. There was also a lot of light and it was really blurry before it took an actual form. Also, there were four kids playing there and they told me that I didn't belong there, but they did ask me whether I would want to leave with them. I refused.''

''Did they tell you something else?'' Springtrap asked.

''Yeah. They said that you aren't my friend and that I would go back there again because of you,'' Sam added, then tilted her head. ''Maybe that place was some kind of limbo...''

''Sam, are you even listening to yourself?'' Springtrap interrupted her, his eyes flaring purple. ''From what you had just told me, you probably died! You're lucky that you're alive! How can you even be so calm about it?!''

''Honestly, I don't know,'' Sam replied. ''I've been thinking about it the whole night, but I realized that there was no point in stressing myself out because of what happened. I could either continue freaking out about it, or move on.''

''That doesn't matter!'' Springtrap jumped on his feet, now yelling at her. ''You were dead, even for a moment! Were you even thinking about how Emma would feel if she found out that, while she thought that you were just unconscious, your soul had detached itself from your body?! Are you even aware what I went through, constantly fearing that I would lose you because of a stupid experiment I made?!'' He stopped as he realized what he just said, clutching his head and falling his knees. Anger, anxiety, fear, regret... He simply couldn't bear it anymore. ''God dammit, I didn't want this to happen! I didn't want you to get hurt! I just-'' He felt chills as he saw a shadow looming over him. Everything vanished, with only him left in the darkness. He slammed his hands against the floor, unaware of the blood forming around his eyes. Despair overwhelmed him. He didn't want to live a life like this anymore. ''I just… I just wanted to do what's right, for once, and even then, I messed up. The only thing I do is just destroy other people's lives, whether I want it or not.''

''You didn't destroy mine.''

Sam's voice was like an echo, with the darkness around him fading. Springtrap lifted his head, only to see Sam crouching right in front of him. She had a compassionate look on her expression, feeling sorry for him. Springtrap was just disgusted with himself, feeling he didn't deserve her sympathy.

''Sam, I will…''

''No, you won't!'' Springtrap winced when Sam yelled back. ''William, I am not going to let you give up on everything so easily. I understand that you're overwhelmed by everything and that you're past your breaking point. I know that you're worried about me, that fear what might happen to me if I stay in your company. However, don't you think I don't feel the same? I'm constantly on the brink of losing my only friend because of my own stupidity! All of this happened simply because I just wanted to see that stupid remnant injector.''

''You wanted to see 'that stupid remnant injector' that I invented,'' Springtrap replied. ''In the end, what happened is my fault, no matter how curious you were. If that thing didn't exist, you wouldn't have been hurt in the first place.''

''If that thing didn't exist, you wouldn't even be here,'' Sam said. Springtrap kept quiet, simply staring at her. He didn't know anymore how to feel about everything, or even what to do.

''I'm sorry I yelled at you,'' he muttered. ''I'm a complete mess.''

''It's okay. You were upset after all, and I was being a stubborn idiot,'' Sam said. ''You know, I think that the only thing that matters is that we're both still here. Sure, we've both been hurt, but I do believe that there's a point in continuing with everything. This is something you just cannot forget and ignore.''

''I guess that means that you're still willing to continue with the investigation,'' Springtrap said.

''Yeah, but only if you stay with me,'' Sam replied. ''After all, you're the only person I can rely on.''

Springtrap thought back to his conversation with Emma. Even if she didn't say it or even wanted to admit it, she trusted him enough to let him accompany Sam, probably because she knew that he was the only one who would be able to something in case something happened to her daughter. He felt like an idiot for realizing that just now.

''I am not leaving,'' he said, only to be surprised when Sam suddenly hugged him. However, unlike last time, this time, he hugged her back. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, he did indeed come this far and it would be a stupid choice to just give up. Besides, didn't he always pull himself together and continued after every failure? He always came back, no matter how nonsensical his methods or reasons were. However, there was a difference between his past choices and this one.

This time, he didn't come back because of himself, but because of his only friend.

''You know, Emma told me that I shouldn't focus on fixing past mistakes, but try to prevent making new ones,'' he added.

''Isn't that obvious?'' Sam replied, with a mischievous grin on her expression. Springtrap just ruffled her hair playfully, with Sam glaring back at him for messing it up. She got back at him by booping his nose, with him looking a little annoyed. However, he actually felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

''Still, I sincerely doubt that I won't suffer from any more breakdowns like this,'' Springtrap admitted.

''If you do, I'm here to help you out,'' Sam replied, standing up and taking a handkerchief from her backpack. ''Also, you might wipe your eyes.''

''What?'' Springtrap took the handkerchief and wiped his eyes, only to see blood on the cloth. He frowned. ''I still don't understand how this is possible.''

''Beats me, but maybe it is a good thing,'' Sam said. ''You know, it might be a sign that there's still some humanity left in you.''

Springtrap chuckled softly, only to freeze when he heard another person speaking.

''Oh, please, he doesn't have any humanity left in him.''

Springtrap frowned, ready to argue with that entity again, only to notice Sam staring at him, looking surprised.

''Who was that?''

Peter’s relationship with Tony wasn’t the only thing ignored in NWH. If it weren’t for his throwaway line that he was an Avenger, you wouldn’t know it from the movie. Which begs the question, why didn’t any Avenger vouch for him at the beginning? Getting Peter acquitted in the court of public opinion should have been a breeze. And why didn’t any Avenger show up to help him with the Avenger-level threat he faced in the climax? Part of the reason has to do with the fact that live actors are involved. Coordinating live actors over and over again is a challenge. Not just NWH. In hindsight, the characters should have logically been interacting way more than they actually were. It's a fundamental flaw of the MCU. The MCU comicbook/ensemble tv series style of storytelling doesn't really work across multiple live action movies when real-life actors are involved.

Yeahhhh, this was a fundamental flaw long before NWH. Honestly, it didn't bother me too much simply for the fact that the comics always had the same flaw themselves. It's simply impossible to have a world of superheroes that all connect and help each other out, while also telling individual, independent stories to each said hero. That's where you have no other choice but to suspend your disbelief, right alongside the actual powers of said superheroes. It makes no sense for a kid to be bitten by a radioactive spider and gain superpowers from it, and yet we don't question that when we read about Spider-Man. The same always had to go for the universe of superheros and their lack of aid when one individual hero was suffering from their own crisis. You simply had to suspend your disbelief.

When I played the PS4 Spider-Man game (circa 2018, holy hell has time flown by) I'd CONSTANTLY have Spider-Man/Peter swing by the Avengers Tower and I'd scream at my TV "HEY! Tony! Steve! SOMEBODY! There's a LOT of shit going on here in New York CAN SOMEBODY COME OUT TO HELP ME!?" My friend watching me play the game would laugh and insist I'd have to come up with a backstory just so I could "get over the hump" of that gaping plot hole. Because to me, it was a plot hole -- we have the Avengers Tower right here and yet Spidey is left to save NYC all by himself, wtf? So I told myself the Avengers were out of the country handling other business and were clueless to the events unfolding 😆

I never had a problem with the lack-of-hero-gatherings in the MCU prior to...mhm, probably Civil War? Like, yeah, Tony is dealing with AIM and Killian and could use some help from Cap or Hawkeye. But if I focused too much on that, I'd lose interest in the story at hand. It wasn't too gaping of a plot hole at the time.

(And besides. The Avengers were always distant co-workers in the MCU. They were never a team or even friends in the MCU. Let's not forget that. The MCU was NOT Avengers Assemble or even close to the comics and the relationships built within those different narratives. The MCU barely gave us disgruntled coworkers who ended up leaving the company they worked for and meeting up again years later for brunch. The Office had a better team dynamic than whatever the fuck the MCU was.)

But NWH? Lmfao nah boo that was a plot hole bigger than anything I've seen before. It's one thing for Steve to be taking down SHIELD with only Nat and Wilson and no one else. But Peter's identity was revealed as a nationwide worldwide thing, AND he was painted as a murderer. Maybe I'd let the first one pass. But the second? An Avenger, honorary or not, was just declared a murderer. Where the fuck is everyone on this? Even Strange was like "Oh, hello Peter, how's it going, long time no see." Uh Stranger where the fuck were you three months ago when this boy was nearly thrown in jail?

Believe it or not, I don't need tight continuity to enjoy something. I used to be a very active fan in the Power Rangers community when I was a teenager, and that should say it all. Same with my love for the comics. I love the story so long as the story has heart to it. It doesn't NEED to make perfect sense -- in fact, when you aim to be "perfect" with making sense, you ruin the fun. It's okay to let some things not add up (and thanks soooooooo much Cinema Sins for ruining this because now everyone goddamn audience member wants to point at a plot hole and claim the content isn't any good because of it. Shit, I wrote an entire novel length fanfiction where the 3rd act involved the characters going to a bunker under the sea with literally no consequences or discussion of decompression sickness or how the fuck OsCorp was able to do the same because it's a story about superheros, suspend your belief and only then you'll find enjoyment. No one questioned the Raft, after all 😅)

Yeah, anyway. I just had many issues with the MCU past Civil War and unfortunately once they started caring more about quantity over quality, things got too messy for me to care about. It's bound to happen when you start throwing an abundance of superheroes at the wall and hoping one may stick. It's doomed to happen when you have so many hands in the pot, and none of those hands brush up on the continuity history that came before them.

And for the record, no, the comics aren't without this flaw either. The comics have always had writers come in, decide "the previous 15 issues before mine are now non-canon" and then tell their own story. The MCU, in many ways, decided to do the same thing. Shit, they just erased all off the Accords with a throw away line. You can't really fault them when their source material content does the same exact thing.

I just expected better from live action, I guess.

The MCU was doomed the moment they decided not to have a set finale. Continuity only worked if they had an end in sight. Unfortunately, money will always keep that from happening

sophie listens to her music and has thoughts

idk how to title. song fic of alien blues (also I'm typing on my glitchy phone so any mistakes are not me)

it's her winnowing gala. she can't face it. so once again, her ipod emerges to comfort her with memories.

Was it the best you ever had? Was it the worst? You'd never know

the human world wasn't good. Sophie might have grown up different, but that didn't mean she didn't hear the stories. those warnings mothers tell you when they deem you old enough to feel fear, if only for your safety. if you ask any human woman, she can tell you one. the lost cities might have been better. they might be worse. truth be told, she just thought it was shinier. whatever it is, it doesn't help with the ache in her heart to say it out loud.

I try to tell you what I think and play it off like it's a joke

She didnt know what to think of match making. Sophie is once again doomed to people saying "one day.." because one day she might lose it. one day she might fall in love, and the next she is bound to someone that's "more acceptable" because of what others think

Oh no, more surprises, guess it's like this

and she can't stop fucking up. she feels so stupid. she knows nothing about the world she "belongs" in. So, time after time she is punished. she wants to fight.. then That tiredness seeps into her bones and drags her along to just conform so its over. even when she wants to, she just realizes it's just like this.

I'd do anything for you, Mrs. Highness

if they wanted her to conform to their better society and grow up to a "good match" then why did the very first thing sophie see happen to be fucking Biana Vacket? Gorgeous, outstanding, and painfully out. of. reach. Biana. the perfect princess that never wanted Sophie. they might be friends now, but Sophie hates that word. friends.. however hopeless her affections may have been, she'd rather be condemned by chance than law. she'd do anything to be "Mrs. sophie vacker" but there is no vision or even fantasy where biana would be a "Mrs. Biana Foster."

The sun is fun, the land is dandy. I only talk to dogs because they don't understand me

maybe it's the overly flashy castles reminding her that only a couple humans can be like this, and the others are suffering. maybe it's the fact that a birth fund could fix so many people's lives. it might be just the guilt of it all. but she can't stand the perfection. then, that stinky little bat thing comes into her life. so far from home, in the hands of delicate strangers. he is just like her. he still doesn't understand a word she says in grief filled nights. she likes it that way.

My teeth are yellow, hello world! Would you like me a little better if they were white like yours?

she has eyes like tall dark trees. grounded with roots. roots she cannot plant in a sea of blues and greens and everything not hers. she is an elf. somehow she feels like an intruder on herself. that maybe if she was really an elf, raised right, she wouldn't feel these things her pastor warned about. because everything about her is something she is alone in.

I need to purge my urges, shame, shame, shame.

she is wrong. fitz has beautiful eyes. she loves them. she loves going to his house, and she loves being near him (and his sister.) So this is her punishment. to be almost close enough to someone she won't admit she loves to herself. bind herself to a place where all she can do is dream from an impossible distance that is only a wall away.

I need an alibi to justify, somebody to blame

it's funny. she blames her anger on Keefe for flirting with Biana on the wrong person. she says she doesn't know what to feel about him. because her love life is only messed up because of him. or else she would be with her vacker. the one everyone wants her to be with, the one that allows her to have excuses for chasing glimpses of someone else.

It's a halibut, party bitch, give it a name and say, "Hey, hey".....

it's her winnowing gala. the air in her room is silent. she never thought she'd make it this far. she isnt reminiscent anymore.

she picks up her imparter. Biana answers too quick. "Why are you calling me? you are supposed to be dancing! I didnt make you pretty just for me to be the only one seeing you" says the ever princess, taking care of those that need it. she can barely see her face at this time of night. Sophie stops, Biana is the only one that sees her. and this... is infinitely dangerous. no other words.

"what are we? because I want to be pretty just for you. the same way you think I want to be pretty for fitz. the whole time, I come to your house with my hair brushed and I put on chapstick. it was incase you were there."

the screen goes black. she sits, with nothing to give.

her door slams open. it's this perfect, impossible moment where Biana Vacker is in her door way, looking imperfect and adorable with her hair mussed up and her lips aren't ever so perfectly glossed. somehow, it is Biana Vacker, in plain clothing, not out of reach anymore. no longer a society away. it's just two girls in a room. Suddenly Sophie realized just how formal she was and Biana wasn't.

Cheeks red from sprinting, Biana walks slowly forward.

"well, I'm here now. because I wanted fitz to be with you" a step forward "because I wanted to be with you" another step closer and a thousand more heart beats at something out of a fantasy. "because I thought you were better a wall and a million miles away than a light leap from me"

it's another step foreward. there is no walls, no rules, nothing between them in this stolen moment except what they choose.

"so what are you going to do about it?" it's a plead at this point. this dance is ending, how it does it up to Sophie now.

Sophie, for once, does away with what others want, and closes the gap between them.
