Hmmmm I’m seeing so many x single mom readers and not sure if this is something you’re even interested in BUT
Simon meeting his pretty new neighbor while she’s moving I and realizes she is either a.) heavily pregnant or b.) has a very young baby so Simon goes “hmmmm mine now :)” and helps her out a little? (Alternatively, if you don’t wanna do Simon for this, then maybe Price?)
(Also if you haven’t read @peachesofteal’s Light On fic, Simon x single mom reader, I implore if you to do so!!! It’s so good)
Peaches Light On fics, and I am being so deadass serious, give me such a flood of serotonin any time I see a new one. Everyone get your butt over there because they are the standard for single mother content as far as I am concerned!
That being said, I've put a bit of a twist on this so it's not really what you requested at all, sorry :') I could not do a similar idea to Peaches because there is nothing I can do to improve perfection!
Tactical Action
Words: 1.1k
CWs: mentions of death
“It's not a shame Price, it's fucking ridiculous.”
Simon Riley was furious looking at the paperwork. It wasn't often that TF141 kept tabs on a promising rookie so when they did he expected nothing but excellence. What he did not expect was a large ‘Early Service Leaver’ stamp over an otherwise exemplary record.
“Their brother died in that warship collision, can't blame them for wanting out.”
“My brother was murdered, I kept fucking going.”
He had met you once when Johnny had dragged him. His Sergeant was both excited and annoyed that someone had gotten the new record for the 3rd selection phase. It made sense to get some feel for you then, if you were as good at escape, evasion and tactical questioning as the test scores suggested then the 141 needed to have you on their radar because the PMCs certainly would. 
You were a determined thing, shoulders back and addressing them with just the right amount of respect. Not arrogant, but not a pushover. Soap had been talking about how much he wanted to get his hands on you the whole drive back to base because he was a horny idiot and you were a challenge he found intriguing. Simon had just rolled his eyes and added your record to the small pile in Price's office. 
He knew a little of your background. Both parents gone, one sibling in the navy. Well one sibling now KIA. He could have understood taking leave, but to quit entirely? It made him angry, he thought it was a waste of potential. Price could see how it affected him and he sighed. 
“Go talk to them then. But do not get yourself reported for harassment and intimidation Simon, if they don't want back in then we make our peace with that.”
That was all the permission he needed. He probably should have taken Soap really, someone who could be comforting and coax you back. But fuck it, you were supposed to be good under pressure so he was going to give you some hard damn advice on not bloody giving up.
Exhausted didn't even begin to describe how you felt. This was the hardest thing you had ever done, but you were not going to just give up. You couldn't, not with this tiny thing relying on you. 
She had never even got to meet her parents. Your brother died just before the due date in that accident and then his girlfriend had died from complications in childbirth. You had promised her you would look after their baby if anything happened, made an oath that you'd not let her parents anywhere near such an innocent little thing. 
So you were on your own with nothing but grief and exhaustion and an ever dwindling death in service payment. They would pay part of your brother's pension out each month at least for the baby, but you were terrified that it wouldn't be enough to give her a life she deserved. She certainly deserved her parents and not her fathers ill equipped sibling, but you could only do your best even with the knowledge it would never be enough. 
You flinched when there was a hard knock at the door of your flat, freezing but taking a breath when the baby remained sleeping in your arms. You needed to move at one point you knew, a flat in a bit of a rough area was fine for a soldier (ex-soldier you reminded yourself) but not so much for a baby. 
The security you had upgraded as best you could at the moment and you checked the door camera to see Lieutenant Riley. Ghost. You had met him briefly once, but what was a legend like him doing here? Shit. You knew you looked a wreck but it wasn't like you could ignore him so you opened the door, bouncing baby girl gently to keep her sleeping. 
Simon's planned tirade died the moment he saw the situation. You had a baby. Oh that changed his tirade significantly. Your marital status had listed single, so he could only assume you had gotten yourself knocked up by some casual hookup. That was unacceptable in a soldier, so bloody stupid. 
“Shit” you cursed when she woke up, heading back inside and giving him a nod of invite.
You bounced her and tried to coo at her to go back to sleep. To please God go back to sleep. You never knew what she wanted, it felt like whatever you did was always wrong. And of course then she started wailing and the Lieutenant was in your flat closing the door behind him witnessing your absolute failure to take care of a baby. 
“Oh for Christ sake, give her here.”
Simon took the baby and hoisted the little thing up onto his shoulder, rubbing hard at her back. 
“When was the last time you fed her?”
“I- well, just before you got here. 10 minutes ago maybe? Just got her to sleep.”
“Did you burp her?”
“Oh. I…” you replied, straining yourself in an attempt not to cry. “No. I forgot.”
While his eyes were sharp on you his hands and voice were gentle and soothing for the baby. He was good at this. Did he have kids? Fuck was everyone just innately good at caring for babies but you? 
“Didn't stop to think if you could take care of her before having her?” 
“She's not mine. Well I suppose she is. I'm her only living relative, or only decent one at least. I, um… that warship accident from a few months back. My brother died during it and her mum passed during the birth. I'm her legal guardian now. I'm what she has sir, it was the best tactical action given the circumstance” you said, straightening up despite your exhaustion and prolonged terror at being responsible for such an innocent little thing. 
Simon cocked his head to the side as the baby on his shoulder burped and gurgled, now trying to get back to sleep. You were still a soldier he saw then, you were fighting back your emotions to give him a report on the situation. He reevaluated after the sitrep and took a moment to find the best course of action.
“Marry me then.”
“Sir?”
“We can get it done tomorrow. Might take a bit of time to get a decent house but we'll stay in my flat until then, better area. Still going to be out on assignment a lot but any death benefit would go to you and the widows pension would set you up for life. I'm what you have rookie, it's the best tactical action.”
“Yes sir.”

Stevetony as #9 for the soft kissing prompts 💖 maybe right before they go out for a mission????
Thank you for the prompt!
(A Not so) Long Kiss Goodbye
Rated T
Prompt: a kiss before work
650 words
Steve read over the mission brief again on his tablet before abandoning it on the empty seat next to him. Looking out the back of the jet, he saw Tony. He wished the other man was seated next to him instead of flying solo. Tactically, it made more sense for Iron Man to head out alone. It provided them better intel and more ground cover—still he would prefer his partner at his side. 
It was this over protective nature that kept them from running missions together very often. It had been laid out in more subtle terms to them both but had been made clear enough by the directors at SHIELD. It was only big, full Avengers protocol level, missions that had them working together in the field nowaday. Those missions were few and far between, thankfully. A new potential lead on Loki's missing scepter was what had them called together now. Not a global disaster but a branch of one that involved them all.
“You gonna strap in or keep giving him puppy dog eyes?” Natasha questioned as she ran through the final flight check for the jet.
“I can do both,” Steve countered and stood, making his way off the loading ramp back to the hanger.
“Make it quick!” Her words floated after him.
“Room for you on the Quinjet, Tony,” Steve opened as he approached the other man.
“Well aware, I did design it,” came Tony's mildly sarcastic response. “And thanks to certain people, I have gotten very well acquainted with the different seating and space options in the back compartment.” 
Steve's lips twitched up at the comment, a soft glaze of honey glow touching his cheeks at the call back to some of their spicier,  semi-public encounters. “You don’t say?”
“Hmmmm, need a refresher?”
The sound of Tony's low tone and hum distorted by the touch of metallic echo form being suited up made Steve's gut clench. He liked Tony in the suit. He only wished it didn't mean they were heading into danger.
“You two wanna get a room or what?” 
Both men turned to see Clint grinning at them from the back of the jet, an amused looking Bruce elbowing him lightly.
“If we didn't have a mission to run, I would gladly take that suggestion, so don't tempt me,” Tony drawled back, not phased by the heckling of their friends. 
Steve grinned at the exchange, more happy over their friends' acceptance of them than bothered by the occasional teasing. It was a far deal better than the level of tolerance he had grown up around—which had been exactly zero. The ability to openly show how much he cared for Tony meant a great deal to him.
“Not even time for a quicky,” Steve gave a put upon sigh, playing up his disappointment for the sake of their onlookers. He tapped lightly at Tony's face plate, the pad of his finger running along the slit of its pseudo-mouth. The piece of armor slid up out of the way instantly. 
“Oooh nothing with you is ever quick Mr. Marathon,” Tony chuckled and smirked playfully. 
Grinning, Steve leaned in and kissed the other man, lingering and slow—the motion of their lips as meaningful as words. Tony cupped a hand around Steve's hip, the touch far more gentle than the cold, hard metal of his suit should have allowed for. It made Steve hum and press harder, the tip of his tongue lightly grazing Tony's lip.
A cat call and sharp whistle from their friends was what forced them apart. Without missing a beat, Tony flipped them off and replaced the face plate all in one motion. A split second later, he was moving a half step back and taking off, leaving only the soft hum on the repulsors in his wake. 
Steve ignored the good natured teasing from his teammates, content to stand and watch until Tony was out of sight.

Analyzing Killua Zoldyck's Character
Illumi Analysis| Hisoka Analysis| Chrollo Anaysis|
What’s up y’all?! I’ve had at least 2 cups of coffee this morning and I am ready to write my butt off! This post will be about Killua Zoldyck, my second favorite character and you will know why by the end. If you’d like me to write about your favorite character, Be sure to send me a message and I will get on it ASAP.
Here we go!
I saw Killua for the first time on Tumblr. Someone created various icons for several anime characters and edited them. They were all aesthetically pleasing but for some reason, his picture stood out. Now that I look harder, it is because he was holding a Pepsi can instead of the off-brand one they drew for him in the cartoon. I noticed everyone on TikTok and Twitter had the very same icon as their profile picture (usually those that like to troll and say racist things to others). Once I started watching Hunter x Hunter, I realized the character immediately. Thank you for your edits!
Tumblr media
Killua Zoldyck is the youngest child in the family and is the only child that developed a mind for his own.
Tumblr media
Instead of taking the pleasure of killing, he runs/avoids and achieves this by becoming friends with Gon. It’s interesting to think that no one in the Zoldyck family wants to kill for fun except for Illumi.
I remember Zeno telling Chrollo: “Do you think I enjoy killing?”.
Tumblr media
This makes me think that the family’s job is to destroy enemies that are a threat to society. Are the Zoldyck’s taking on the role of cops or an extension of such? If that statement is true why does Illumi take pleasure in abusing his power when his own grandfather only does it when criminals are involved? Granted, Silva and Zeno’s reasoning for brutally fighting criminals isn’t legal, and (to me) are considered to be vigilantes, at least they don’t go around doing the horrible things like how Illumi and Hisoka do.
This very reason why Killua ran away from home. He decided to rebel against his mother and implied: “Fuck you. I’m going to do what I want.” Killua and his siblings are victims of child abuse and show that they deal with that abuse in different ways. Killua masks his abilities in public and tries to keep them under control, Kalluto seems to be very quiet and obedient, Milluki is just as abusive as Illumi, and we already know about Illumi. Milluki is physically abusive; this can be seen when he is whipping Killua for running away and threatens to destroy Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio while Illumi plays mind games on Killua and uses his Nen to do the trick.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Killua’s character is very special and in a way takes the lead as the main character instead of Gon. I don’t know if that was intentional or not. Killua is a 12-year-old boy who leaves home to escape his abusive home and see the world for his own. During phase 1 of Hunter’s Exam, he instantly clicks with Gon; probably because he’s the only 12-year-old there. They constantly challenge each other to see who will win and who will buy dinner or some other reward. Because of his abusive home, Killua often masks his feelings. This is noticeable every time Gon talks about him being his best friend and he always reacts as if he’s embarrassed by it.
Tumblr media
Gon is his shield from going bat-shit crazy like his family. They both have faced opponents (like Hisoka and others) where Killua could have unleashed his assassin abilities but didn’t. Yes, some of the opponents are stronger than him, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.
Killua is the best friend Gon could ever have. Since he knows about aura and any supernatural abilities, this is why he stops Gon and even insults him for pushing himself too far. Killua stopped Gon from using too much aura in the past especially once Kite’s arm was cut off by Pitou. Because Killua wasn’t there to stop him when fighting Pitou, this resulted in Gon’s downfall. Did Killua believe it was his fault that Gon almost died? He isn’t responsible for Gon’s actions but he focused so much on running away from his “demons” and masking his temper by maintaining his friendship that he wasn’t paying attention to Gon’s noticeable and developing temper.
Killua Zoldyck is a child that suffered from abuse and to escape that reality, he runs away, takes Hunter’s Exam only to match with his brother, chooses defeat, and then kills an opponent, not of his own free will.
But wait, there’s more.
After being rescued from his prison of a home, he goes to Heaven’s Arena, met Zushi and his teacher, develop Nen, follows the Phantom Troupe around and somehow managed to survive that, meet Bisky, join a game to get closer to Ging, witnesses Gon disappearing, trying to form a relationship with Alluka, and then tries to heal Gon with a quickness.
Whew, chile!
At the beginning of the show, it appeared as if Killua was taking on too much and only did so to keep his mind off what he escaped from.
One thing to point out is Killua’s motivation to heal Gon no matter what. It is implied that he doesn’t care what will happen to him or anyone else as long as Gon can live again.
Wait.
Isn’t that along the lines of what Gon said about getting revenge for Kite? He didn’t care about what happened to him? Hmmmm. I guess they’re very similar after all!
Killua and Gon are BFFs and will do anything for each other. Friendships in real life should be this way; let’s follow his fictional example.
Face
Killua’s face is the typical shape for someone his age. His eyes are wide, as blue as the morning sky, and honestly, I wish he’d smile more. Even though he is 12 years old, he still has a babyface.
Tumblr media
Hair
Killua’s hair color is very similar to Princess Allura’s and Lotor’s. According to verywellmind.com, the color white represents innocence and purity. Ironically, Lotor and Killua are the opposite of that while Allura has maintained her innocence. Killua’s unique hair color and hairstyle are amazing! I love how it stays in shape while he is fighting or running.
Tumblr media
Clothes
Regarding clothes, he is JUST like his brother. Again, Illumi irks me, but they both have a great taste in fashion. Through the show, Killua changes his clothes more than Gon, which is funny. I guess if Gon changed his clothes too much it would take away from his character. Killua’s default style contains a sleeveless white shirt with a purple one underneath, basketball shorts, and gym shoes. Just look at these outfit changes! This is why Killua is my 2nd favorite character in this show.
Tumblr media
Behavior
As stated before, Killua cares more about others. This is ironic because the Zoldyck family only cares about themselves or their family while Killua feels the complete opposite. It’s almost as if he trusts strangers more than his own family. A common phrase: “She/He turned to the streets” that I’ve heard in my hometown can be applied here. Killua probably hates his family and turned to strangers to find love and comfort since they neglected that. He is also the only one that tries to develop a relationship with Alluka. At first, I thought “Wow he’s only developing a relationship with her to heal Gon” but then I realized it was bigger than that. Alluka has been separated from her family because of her dangerous abilities. She will demand something and if that person doesn’t fulfill her demands, they will suffer horribly. Killua learns that Alluka has a healing ability and while Illumi complains that Killua was hiding rules from him, he never took the chance to talk to him about it and continued to threaten Alluka. The family “banished” her to a confined room for who knows how long because, apparently, she had been possessed by a demon from the Dark Continent and they do not know when it happened. Despite knowing that Killua could parish with the rest, he still develops a relationship with her. He is the true example of excepting someone for who they are. As far as I’m concerned, running away was the best decision he made. It saved his life and in return, he’s going to save another. I do find it ironic that something considered to be so dark has the power to bring something back to life when usually it’s something bright like a light...interesting. You all know what I’m saying. Most television shows only portray angles to heal others while demons only seek to destroy. The Zoldyck family is wrong for pushing Alluka away. How could you do that to your own kid? Shit, you should be blaming yourself for not watching her and allowing the demon to posses her.
Tumblr media
In conclusion, Killua is my second favorite character. He is bold, loves his friends, and isn’t afraid (anymore) to step up to people he may not win against. His character has blossomed from a young boy afraid to step up to his brother to a boy who isn’t afraid to do so. He has learned about Nen and has gone through many trials and tribulations just to say he is much stronger than before. What characters would you like to hear about next? Send me a DM!

Fix you hisoka x reader
Tw: hisoka
Many people wanted a part 2 so here it is ^^
Part one
:readmore:
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
The smell of bleach and blood covered your nose. The empty white walls glared at you. Something woke you, what was it again ? Putting your hand on your baby in confusion trying to remember why you were here in the first place. The feel of the rough sheets and empty stomach made you jump.
“MY BABY”
You screamed in a hopeless cry. You’re alone here , does that mean you lost your baby ?
Your body screamed in pain , but the pain your chest was stronger. Pulling all the cords off of you as you jumped , looking for you baby.
Your legs screamed in protest as you collapsed, how long have you been here ?
“MY BABY. GIVE ME MY BABY”
Screamed of grief echoed as running was heard. You were a sobbing mess. What happened while you were out ? The baby was early but they have to be okay.
“Ma’am please calm down your baby is fine.”
A gentle yet firm hand tried holding you up from the floor. You were inconsolable, if the baby was fine then where are they ?
Being pulled up by firm hands like a princess. They tears blur your vision. Being lowered to the bed as your carrier held your face firmly facing him. Wait , you know him ?
“She’s okay , you have a healthy baby girl and she’s near the nurse went to get her”
“..... k …. kastro?”
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something, you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
You’ve never thought you’ll be the happiest you ever were by hearing a child cry. Breaking eye contact with him and landing your eyes on the small bundle in the nurse’s arms.
Once placed in your arms , you hugged her close as your tears slowly returned. Her crying stupid as her golden eyes looked at you in curiosity.
You felt yourself giggle as you touched her with your thumb. She looked like him , but she was yours. That curious loving look. She’s perfect.
“I couldn’t believe it when I heard the strongest female fighter was carrying that bastards child”
“Hmmmm”
You were too focused on the Angel in your hands to actually care about what he was saying. Her sweet precious face. Smiling at her , her chubby cheeks raised as she smiled back at you. Kissing her face feeling an intense love for this little creature.
“I’m guessing he doesn’t know about her , if he did he would’ve been here wanting to train her so he can fight and kill her later.”
Every single cell in your body froze. Looking up at him in wide eyes as you hugged your little princess close to you. Activating your aura as a warning.
“Calm down , I didn’t mean anything by it.”
He quickly dismissed waving his hand.
“I want to kill that pretentious bastard and I need your help. I’m assuming you’d want him dead as well”
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Rehabilitation was hard , everything in your body screamed in rejection but you didn’t stop. When you returned home , all you wanted to do was lay down and sleep but you didn’t.
Everything in you wanted to protect your baby girl. Your new purpose in life. She made your day brighter , her sweet smile , musically laugh , and even her loud cries.
Magie was her name , which means magic in German. Hisoka called himself the magician and magie was his best work to ever exist.
On weekends you and kastro train over and over again. You were rusty and he needed someone he can trust to perfect his new hatsu. One he’s sure to take down hisoka. He was strong but needed help on other aspects like conjuring.
You weren’t sure he’d succeed so you practiced your own new hatsu. You know kastro wants to take down hisoka , but you can’t trust him with this. As much as you wanted to , you couldn’t. It’s your own way of protecting yourself and magie from him. You’re not taking chances.
Even if he was warming his way into your heart , magie will always be your number 1.
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Returning to your former glory and even beyond that , was the result of all the training you did. The months of hard work and sparring with kastro made the time move quick. He was a stable in your life now.
Training and returning home together , spending time since you both live in heaven’s arena. Him helping with magie and cuddling after exhausting yourselves. it was perfect.
Your status was unknown and you were too much of a coward to ask. You liked this , you were happy.
Standing near kastro as he was preparing to finally have his fight with hisoka , your hand clinched at his robes as his name was called. He looked at you Questionably.
“Promise me you’ll be careful.”
Your eyes cashed down as you heard him chuckles. Fingers raising your face to his as soft lips pressed against your own in a chaste kiss.
“When I return let’s have dinner , my treat”
He winked as your cheeks felt warm. Walking away you had to stop yourself from dragging him back. What’s with this need to make him stay ?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Your screams got lost in the audience cheers. No no no no no no no ! This can’t be happening !
Seeing kastro lose his cool as hisoka exposed his trick and getting punched in the chin , made you run towards the front.
What can you do ? You had no idea but the needs to be closer to him was strong. To somehow help him. The audience were crowding the front but you fought your way.
Your heart erupted in anguish seeing the man you just had feelings for fall in front of your eyes.
“You’ll die in a frenzy dance”
The smug sultry voice of the redhead echoed in your mind. Why is he ruining your life again ?! He walked away as the medics went to carry your close to be lover body away.
Returning to your home was painful , the sight of magie made everything feel a little better. You’re not alone , you have your child. Your precious adorable baby girl.
carrying her and singing , as your tears fell and heart broke. She was everything you needed. Even if you lose anymore , as long as she’s with you you’re okay.
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something, you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you, I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Fighting was all you ever did. You were good at it. Thanks to kastro you became even better. Being known as someone who raised from the ashes made your story even more poetic.
Too many challengers came and went , as you stood on the top with other floor masters. It was exhausting and satisfying.
Walking away as the people cheered , you raised your head high. You’re a fighter , a survivor , and you refuse to lose anymore.
“Such a sweet tasty thing , how come we never talked before ❤️?”
The voice of your nightmare made you turn around. A similar face to your child yet so different. The face you used to love so much before and now you feel nothing.
“What do you want ?”
He walked towards you as you kept your ground and maintained eye contact. You refuse to bend again.
“My such a scary look ♦️ have we been together before ? You look so familiar ♠️ “
“Do you need anything ?”
“Dinner would be nice ❤️”
How dare he ? You were enraged. How dare he forgets about you after leaving you like that , kills your lover , and asks you out like nothing happened ?!
“You can always eat shit asshole”
You said between gritted teeths as you gave him your back. You felt him activating his aura as you did to yours. You felt him throwing his bungee gum at you.
“What the …? ♠️ “
You heard his confused voice , as his aura fell instead of sticking to you.
“You like it ? It’s my new hatsu I call it, stiff hate : saffola oil it has properties of water and oil”
Your voice was dripping with sarcasm and mocking as his face went through the five stages of grief in front of you.
Walking away laughing loudly as he unleashed his bloodlust. It felt so good you couldn’t help yourself. The amount of times you dreamt of this moment. You rendered his hatsu useless and he knew it.
He can attempt to fight you , but you refuse to accept anything to do with him. You have a child to protect and as much as you’d love to punch him you can’t.
Magie is your priority.
A shadowed figure appeared while you were enjoying your victory blocking your view.
Who ?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
“Can you autograph my book?”
You looked at the gentleman in front of you. He was holding a suspicious looking book , with a hand imprint on it.
You felt a presence near when you talked to hisoka , was that him ?
Grabbing his pen and autographing the pages refusing to touch the cover. You saw his face as his brows knit trying to get you to hold the book , something is wrong with that book after all.
Handing back his pen you smiled at him as he looked at you with a fake smile of his own.
“You were really amazing out there ! I heard you can defeat hisoka’s special magic. Is that true ?”
“You saw me do it, stop pretending you’re a fan. Also , next time you want to act like a normal audience member dress as one”
You pointed at his black on black leather outfit that made you think of your teenage emo phase. His hair was slicked back and a weird tattoo on his face. Did he honestly think you’ll be fooled by his words when he looked like that ?
He chuckled as his grey eyes assisted you with intelligence.
“Many fell for it , but I guess you’re a lot smarter than them. I’m staying here for a fight soon , I hope it’s not the last time we run into each other. I’d hate to lose a chance with a pretty and smart lady like you”
You felt yourself laugh , wow is he hitting on you ? What’s with you and attracting all sorts of weirdos ?
“Kill that clown for me and I’ll gladly marry you if you want let alone seeing each other”
You said laughing. Something in his eyes darkened as he smiled wider.
“It’s a promise.”

MC who’s panic response when in danger is to say kinky shit (eg: harder) and the brother’s reactions
Masterlist and requests info as well as the fandoms I write for is the pinned post on my page, so go check it out if you like this! Had some fun with the prompt because hey why not XP
WARNINGS: NSFW, SWEARING, KINKS, MINOR SPOILERS PRE EP.10, MAJOR SPOILERS for pre ep.20 for Belphie’s one, so avoid that one if you arent there yet. Lemme kno what you think and enjoy!
LUCIFER
Tumblr media
-          This poor man
-          He thought he could handle the human exchange student
-          Honestly so far things have been going quite well
-          And then he gets angry and you step in between to stop him from hurting his brothers
-          Part of him is impressed you even have the guts
-          But he is Very Angry and you should move if you don’t want to get hurt
-          He takes a step closer and grasps your neck, about to make a warning threat
-          When suddenly you just scream at the top of your lungs, fear wide in your eyes
-          “HARDER DADDY”
-          *Lucifer.EXE has stopped working*
-          You broke the poor man
-          Gobsmacked is the only word to describe the expression on his face
-          He’s so shocked that his anger dissipates and he turns back into his regular form
-          At which point you collapse to your knees heavy breathing
-          “fuck, fuck, um sorry, uh when I panic I just blurt out anything to try and throw people off and uh, well normally kinky stuff seems to work”
-          Lucifer just blinks
-          Then smirks
-          “Come to my room later tonight, a punishment is in order for distracting me from disciplining my idiot brother”
-          Your heart is pounding a mile a minute, face flushed, and from the look on Lucifer’s face he knows it
-          Yeah good luck looking him in the eye for a while without immediately remembering and getting super flustered
-          You did this to yourself hun
-          When you do go to see him that night you expect something hot, but he just sits you down for a two hour long lecture on ‘appropriate use of language’
-          Of course once he has drained all the excitement from you, just as he dismisses you, he runs a gloved finger across your jaw, tilting your face up to his, standing a little too close for comfort
-          “What darling, were you expecting something else when you came here?”
-          He’s smirking, and you’re melting under his gaze
-          He knows what he’s doing and is relishing in your squirms
-          Sadistic bastard
-          (but you love it)
MAMMON (read lucifer’s first)
Tumblr media
-          By this point mammon has already sprinted off, half of him thanking his luck at getting away scot free, the other half completely bamboozled (and kinda turned on) at what you said to get Lucifer to stop
-          Of course the moment he sees you again he’ll burst out laughing
-          Now that his life isn’t in immediate danger he can process the humour and oh man
-          You really said THAT
-          To LUCIFER
-          And LIVED
-          Maybe he should try it next time he’s about to get strung up by his ankles
-          Nah it wouldn’t be worth the punishment plus his brothers would make sure he would never live it down
-          Would be hilarious though
-          But seriously, he’s pissing himself laughing
-          Internally though, he wants you to say that again, this time to him
-          And if you do?
-          Man oh man, he will melt into a pile of blushing spluttering mess
-          “H-Hey ya, ya can’t just go around sayin’ that stuff!”
-          *pause*
-          (under breath) “say it again, but louder”
-          “What was that mammon?”
-          “I-I said I GOTTA TAKE A SHOWER” *slams door as he runs away*
-          It won’t be long till he’s back beside you, honestly just use this method any time you want a 5 minute break
LEVIATHAN
Tumblr media
-          Oh he was PISSED
-          You beat him at the *clearly RIGGED* quiz and he wasn’t having any of it
-          How could some measly normie possibly begin to understand the complexities of ‘The Tale Of The Seven Lords’ when you had only watched it for the first time last week and hadn’t even read the hundreds of manga that feed into the backstory!? What about the Extended Cut!? The Holiday Special!? The Japan Only Release of the secret episode where Henry gets possessed by an ancient cheese spirit and trapped in the fridge realm and the Lord of Corruption has to go and rescue him in a daring feat only ever seen by 17 pairs of eyes in stop-motion clay!?
-          Rage coursed through him, and now in his demon form he stepped closer, ready to strike
-          At least that was until…
-          *anime girl voice*
-          “CHOKE ME WITH YOUR TAIL ONII-CHAN”
-          …
-          Cue silence
-          You could hear a pin drop
-          Levi is BEET RED
-          Drops out of demon form and stares open mouthed, wide eyed at you
-          Asmo’s the first one to let out a snicker
-          Then Satan
-          Then Mammon
-          Levi’s panic response is ‘Retreat to the bathtub-bed’ so that’s what he does
-          Because Hoooooo he’s suddenly got a bulge in his pants and he *DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT*
-          HOW did this stupid normie human NAIL Ruri-Chan’s voice from that one tentacle hentai he watched, had they seen it!?!? Were they secretly an Otaku like him!? Were they real life Ruri-Chan dressed up in a human costume!?!?
-          And how did they know one of his kinks-
-          HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO PROCESS THIS INFORMATION!?!?
-          THAT IS NOT NORMIE BEHAVIOUR!!
-          He will avoid you till the end of time until you go to him and explain and apologise
-          But he will never see you in the same way again
-          And if you two end up getting physical at any point in the future he will use this to your advantage
-          Knowing what you like makes him feel more comfortable
-          Poor baby needs reassurance though
-          And you bet he’ll blush the whole time
SATAN (read Levi’s first)
Tumblr media
-          He was actually snickering at Lucifer’s expression when you said …*that*… to Levi, because he has never seen the eldest look so shocked and appalled
-          Do it again human, keep going, drive Lucifer insane and let him watch
-          He was shocked initially of course, but quickly morphed it into pleasant surprise
-          And curiosity, if there’s one thing this man seeks out it’s knowledge
-          And in this case, knowledge of just how many things he can get you to say in Lucifer’s presence to infuriate and/or horrify him
-          He isn’t all that phased by what you said
-          But he will tease you about it
-          Only when Lucifer is around
-          He likes watching the irritation in his eyes as you stutter over your words
-          Or better yet when he Kabedons you to the wall and you yelp out an incoherently horny mish mash of words
-          That is until one day he does this and your words ignite something in him other than his usual supressed anger boiling deep beneath the surface
-          “M-MASTER MAKE ME BEG”
-          Well, if you didn’t know what he was into... you do now
-          His pupils immediately widen and there’s no missing it
-          Something about the way he moves closer to you screams predator cornering prey
-          He breathes and whispers softly against your neck
-          “Say that again”
-          You’re shell shocked
-          “u-um.. m-master-“
-          He nips at your earlobe he doesn’t care who’s watching
-          Of course Mammon walks in and screams as he throws himself between the two of you shrieking incoherently
-          But next time you’re alone, looking for a book in the library…
-          …
-          You and Satan may be a little, lets just say, preoccupied, with something other than books.
ASMODEUS
Tumblr media
-          Need I say anything here
-          The only one who is 100% down with this straight off the bat
-          Not even phased in the slightest
-          “Oh, so that’s what you’re into huh~ hmmmm you have good taste” he practically purrs into your ear
-          He’s running his hands over your hips, tracing your neck with his tongue
-          The others have to tear him off of you but when they do he simply smiles and winks at you
-          “You know where to find me if you want to play out your fantasies sweetie~!”
-          If he catches you alone you know he will take that opportunity to do what ever it is you yelped out
-          And of course he will pry to try and figure out more things you’re into
-          Purposely make situations where you are more likely to blurt out yet another kink
-          If you do go to him?
-          Well, he’s the avatar of Lust for a reason
-          And you will come to know just what that entails
-          He will ensure you are completely satisfied, no leaving you all fired up and no place to go
-          Good luck ever sleeping alone again
-          Or ever sleeping again without him occupying your time and your bed first
-          You will be busy every night, and will need to learn to avoid secluded closets and quiet rooms alone with him if you don’t want to get railed in public
-          If there’s one thing Asmo appreciates, it’s Voyeurism
-          And if you get caught, don’t think he’ll be stopping any time soon
-          More likely than anything he’ll ask them to join if you’re comfortable with that
-          But the pampering and aftercare he provides is second to none
-          This man practically worships your body through sex
-          If you didn’t know he was once an angel, well, you do now
BEELZEBUB
Tumblr media
-          Big beefy teddybear boi just wanted a midnight snack
-          But he found a midnight snacc instead
-          So he is shoulders deep in the fridge hunting for goods
-          You come in to get a glass of water not noticing he is there
-          So when he leans back, lapping up a full tub of custard pudding and swings the door of the fridge closed with a loud *thunk*
-          You whip round in shock and your brain decides to betray you
-          Or perhaps bless you, it really depends how you see it
-          “WHY DONT YOU EAT ME OUT LIKE THAT”
-          …
-          Wide eyes
-          Pupils dilated
-          A new hunger is present and the avatar of Gluttony won’t stop till he’s satisfied
-          He finished the pudding in a second flat and immediately made his way over to you, leaning close to your lips
-          But he hesitates
-          “Did you… mean that?”
-          He asks
-          He is hesitant but hopeful
-          Clearly trying very hard to resist the urge to not ask permission and just dig in
-          But he can see the blush on your face and tell that it was not something you meant to allow to slip out
-          And come on, who could resist his big round eyes gazing down at you
-          If you nod he’ll take it as enough of an answer
-          I hope you don’t mind some public action because this boy is far too focused to cart you back to his room
-          Up on the counter you go, legs spread, bottoms discarded
-          If you’re wearing a skirt it is pushed up
-          He licks up your thighs first before trying his meal
-          This… well, you will be there a good while, he just can’t seem to get enough
-          And once you have let him have a taste, the more he cannot have you, the more he will crave you till he’s begging you to let him try once again
-          The only way he’s stopping is if somebody interrupts you, and it will take a couple tries to actually pull him away
-          He’s a strong boy but he tries so hard to be gentle
-          And if you’re embarrassed he’ll take you to his room and tuck you in, taking the couch out of fear of crushing you unless you insist that it is absolutely, 100% ok to share
-          But if you do let him share…
-          Don’t be surprised if you wake up to him trying you for breakfast
-          It’ll be the only time he’s ever late to breakfast
-          Eventually somebody will come and find you two and once again, it will take a few tries to pull him away
-          But then he’ll give you a beaming smile like sunshine
-          “You’re delicious, let’s go get some more breakfast, huh?”
-          And lead you to the kitchen
-          Diavolo forbid you can ever again look at a kitchen counter without getting turned on
BELPHEGOR ( SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 20)
Tumblr media
-          So, it’s not like it was a normal day to start with
-          What with, ya kno
-          Belphie breaking out from the attic
-          And going ape shit
-          And trying to kill you
-          So of course, in what could have been your final moments, your last words, the thing they would read at your funeral or put on your gravestone
-          Your brain really said ‘hm, how do I want to be remembered, as this very angry, vengeful demon stands over me ready to slaughter me?’
-          “IF YOU’RE GUNNA FUCK ME OVER AT LEAST MAKE ME COME FIRST”
-          …
-          Belphie doesn’t know if it’s the rush of emotions or the heat of the moment or the fact that those are the worst last words that have ever been conceived by a living being
-          But he just
-          BURSTS out laughing
-          Completely breaks
-          He’s on the floor
-          None of the brothers know what to do
-          One minute he’s about to kill you, the next you say… *THAT* and then his reaction is to start rolling around on the floor, tears streaming down his face, uncontrollably laughing so hard that he’s clutching his sides in pain
-          And what do you do?
-          What do you say?
-          “… wow I cant believe that worked”
-          Absolute fits
-          He can’t contain it
-          He manages to supress his laughter for a short while once he finds out about Lilith’s connection to you
-          But at this point he was already gunna keep you
-          He can’t bring himself to kill anyone who would voluntarily go out with those words, it would be WAY more fun to spectate such a lunatic, not to mention the abject horror across Lucifer’s face is more than enough to sate his hunger for revenge for enough time to process and calm himself down
-          But he’s not going to forget this, human
-          You just wait
-          …
-          3 days and you find out that he has teamed up with Mammon and made TSHIRTS
-          TSHIRTS that say what could have been your last words
-          Not only that, they’re selling them at Majolish and it’s a best seller
-          And he’s rubbing it in your face
-          Yeah
-          You will never live this down
-          At least he seems to be getting along with most of his brothers now
-          Who knew you being a horny idiot with no verbal filter would be the thing that saved your life?
-          Certainly not you
-          All of Devildom knows what you said
-          And you can bet Solomon bulk buys some t-shirts and sells them in the human world too
-          He’ll wear one until Simeon manages to pry it off of him, saying it’s inappropriate to wear around Luke
-          That won’t stop him from teasing you about it too though

Are you and the last person you kissed in a relationship or just friends?  I don’t keep contact.
Has anyone ever pointed out that your laugh was unusual?  Hmmmm, I don’t think so. I feel like that would be the type of comment that would get to me so I definitely would’ve remembered it.
Would you get a lip piercing?  I don’t plan on getting any piercings.
Nose piercing?  Nopes.
What are you currently waiting for?  For this fucking day to end so I can be closer to Thursday and to the weekend.
Do you have feelings for anyone?  Nah.
Have you ever run over an animal?  Nope. I’ve had extremely close calls with animals who suddenly dart into the road, but fortunately these have all been situations wherein I got to hit the brakes with nobody behind me.
Have you chewed gum after someone else already has?  That’s disgusting, no.
When people sneeze do you say ‘bless you’?  Sure, out of habit and just to be polite.
When was the last time you were on a bouncy castle?  I don’t think I’ve ever been on a bouncy castle, but I’ve been on a lot of bouncy other things haha, like inflatable slides, soccer balls, Anpanmans, etc. The last time would probably be a nearly a decade ago; I definitely haven’t been near one in a while.
Have you ever went on a bouncy castle whilst drunk?  Well no, because the ones I’ve been on were situated in school fairs, which is the last place I would want to be drunk in.
Have you ever entered an art competition?  No, I have no justification to join one haha.
What is one thing you will never do? Try hardcore drugs. < Same. 
What is one food that you detest?  Pineapples.
Did you have a rebellious phase growing up?  Yeah I was a bit of a handful to raise, but I’m in firm in my stance that it had a lot to do with the way I was raised. I grew up mostly without a father figure because my dad worked abroad and I felt neglected by my mom who had her own shit to deal with. There was no stable support system to lean on, so I ended up lashing out a lot in my puberty years. Unfortunately everyone else just saw a rebellious child and not a plea for help.
These days when I show off my achievements on social media, I’ll see congratulatory comments from my mom’s friends and she’ll usually go on about some “late bloomers grow with time” narrative and it pisses me off because nobody knows how much I’ve had to grow and mature and learn how to be happier all by myself, all from scratch. If I had just received the proper care and attention early on, I wouldn’t have had to do any catching up to begin with.
What religion were you brought up with? Roman Catholic.
Are you still that religion?  Jesus no. I darted out of there as soon as I gained the consciousness to think about these sorts of things.
Do you often find yourself questioning your future?  Sometimes, but I do my best to not let it get to me.
How many friends do you have on Facebook?  Over 670.
What sort of music did you listen to when you were in high school?  I started with punk rock in the first half of high school, so I had my Rancids, H2Os, Against Me!s, Cro-Mags, etc on my iPod. It evolved a little bit towards more indie, folksy sounds towards the latter half - Banks, alt-J, Hozier, Twenty One Pilots - which I largely attribute to the crowd I was part of at the time.
What pet names do you use with your significant other?  I’m pretty straightforward so baby works out for me. Other, more specific pet names just grow naturally with the relationship, I think.
What’s the name of the store you usually get your groceries?  S&R.
Have you ever seen a theatre show?  Yeah. Most of them have been required.
What’s your favourite vegetable?  Broccoli or bell peppers.
Have you ever missed a flight?  Never. I’ve experienced several delayed flights, though, which is always such a hassle especially if the delays happen in provincial airports since they never have any recreational offers to keep passengers from getting bored other than TVs that run the same damn five ads.
Do your neighbours have any pets? Have you ever met them?  Yeah, a lot of have dogs. I’ve met some.
What color is your bedroom door?  Brown.
If you were ever to become famous, would you grow annoyed at fans?  Only towards obsessive ones who wouldn’t give me time to breathe or would go so far so as to stalk me or my loved ones. But I am a fan too, so I imagine I would actually be understanding of those who would ask for pictures or whatever as long as they were polite and not at all intrusive.
Have you ever met your favourite band/singer?  Nah. I am terrified of meeting celebrities HAHA so I’ve always shut down the chance. I’m pretty sure I would actually turn down the chance to meet BTS if I hypothetically suddenly got the magic keys to that door.
Are you embarrassed by any of the songs/singers/bands you like?  No. I feel like that sort of thing just happens in like high school, when your friends are still a bit judgmental. Nowadays I don’t see why I should be embarrassed of anything I like, especially if it’s not hurting anyone.
Have you ever written a story?  I’ve made attempts but was always terrible.
Think of the last poem you wrote: What inspired you to write it?  My homework that required me to write said poem hahaha.
Do you have a chance with the person you like right now? 
What’s the weirdest thing you were scared of as a child?  Watching commercials at night. It’s still a slight fear of mine but it’s mostly dissipated now.
Are there any embarrassing stories your family tells about you?  About me? No. I don’t have a lot of those since I was a really shy kid who barely moved a finger anyway.
In your opinion, what is the funniest TV show?  I have a *really* soft spot for Perfect Strangers, which I actually revisited yesterday :) The show was never super popular so it’s near impossible to find clips online, but when I checked YouTube I did see a slight increase in short snippets from the show so I had a really fun time binge-watching yesterday.
What is the maximum number of children you’d ever have?  Three, but that’s pushing it. Ideally, I’d have two so my first would have company.
Have you ever been concerned you had a serious illness?  Mental ones, yes.
Are you comfortable with who you are?  For the most part, yes.
Would you date someone even if you knew you’d get made fun of for it?  No. Why would it be any of their business?
Does popularity matter to you at all?  I mean, yeah in the sense that I honestly aspire to be well-liked by as many people as possible. But I don’t necessarily want to rub shoulders with popular kids.
Would you ever consider homeschooling your children?  Continued from sometime this week ider. No. I don’t think I’m capable of teaching, and generally I’d want them to be able to learn in a more open environment where they can have regular contact with different kinds of people.
Who told you about the band/singer you are currently listening to?  Well Angela got into them first and since we’re best friends, there was a certain point where she just decided to loop me into conversations that involved them. I was impossible to sway for a long time, but then one day a video compilation of them showed up on my feed, and for some reason I actually watched it, and I watched all the way through, and I was immediately intrigued – particularly by J-Hope haha. I then asked Angela to tell me more about them and the rest was...financially irresponsible history HAHAHAHA
Do you ever read fanfiction?  OMG yes. Funny you should mention that because my favorite author uploaded a brand new fic this morning, which I obviously couldn’t get to all day because I had to go to work. I’ll be reading it in all its 44,000-word glory tonight :D
Would you rather die in a plane crash, ship wreck or fire?  Plane crash. Instant and mostly painless.
What are your top five favourite TV shows?  Breaking Bad, BoJack Horseman, Friends, The Crown even though I was never able to continue it since...andddd that’s all I got.
What is your favorite superhero movie?  Not a fan of superhero movies.
If you died next week, what would be the cause of death?  Stress from overworking. I’ve FINALLY started to consider taking a leave for the first time this year because I’ve just realized just how fucking exhausted, burned out, and overwhelmed I actually already am from having no rest at all in the last 13 months.
Have you ever taken a break from Facebook or other social media? Why?  Yes, I do mass deactivations when I’m severely depressed. These days I can’t really afford to that anymore, though, since my work is closely tied to social media.
Who is the most talented person you know?  Probably Andi.
Are you currently platonic friends with anyone you’ve had sex with?  No.
Where did you and your current interest go on your first date? 
Have you ever experienced two people fighting over you (physically or mentally)? What happened?  Nah. I’ve had two people like me at the same time, but there was never any tension to watch out for since they mostly didn’t know each other.
Have your parents ever thought you were gay? What happened?  I think they know I dated Gabie and that we broke up because they’ve stopped asking about her. Everyone knew we were best friends, so the fact that they’ve avoided her as a topic for a whole year is able to tell me something.
Are your parents more liberal or conservative?  Dad’s on the liberal side, mom dances around on the spectrum a little bit. I know she’s fine with things like tattoos and having LGBTQ+ co-workers, but she’s also conservative especially towards matters like religion.
What year are you going into at the beginning of the next academic year?  No longer in school.
How far away does your closest family member live?  A few footsteps away.
If you’ve seen both, did you prefer the Disney version or the Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland?  It’s not my type of movie/genre to begin with.
Would you have sex before marriage? Why or why not?  Yes. I don’t see the big deal; I’ve already done it anyway.
Are you more liberal or conservative?  Liberal.
Who is your favorite Harry Potter character?  Ooh not sure. I haven’t gone back to the books in a while, so I don’t remember if there was anyone I had an attachment to.
What’s the worst that could come out of letting gays marry?  Nothing.
What’s the most sexual thing you’ve done?  Had sex...I guess? And a bunch of stuff that comes with it.
Name something that you are against.  Racial discrimination.
Why are you against it?  Because it is infuriating to see, and it shows me the very same treatment can happen to me or my family as well and that scares me, especially since some people turn particularly violent towards people of color.
Have you ever played the Tomb Raider games?  No.
Do you like it or hate it when your partner is clingy?  I imagine I wouldn’t enjoy it if I’m not as into whoever my next partner would be.
Beatles or Rolling Stones?  I don’t listen to either.
When was the last time you changed your opinion on somebody?  Not so sure about a whole change in opinion because that hasn’t happened in a while, but I grew more grateful for my manager today because I finally mustered the strength to tell her that I’m begin to struggle mentally with work and she not only encouraged (read: begged) me to file a damn leave for once, but she also got sushi delivered to my place.
What was the last thing that made you feel proud and why?  Andi was telling me about their day today and how they handled being misgendered by a prof, who then proceeded to throw a fit when he got corrected, and how they, again, maturely handled said fit. I was proud of them because there are a million ways that incident could’ve turned out, but they dealt with it in an extremely mature and calm manner considering they were the one who was wronged.
Do you feel uncomfortable when people you hardly know confide in you?  If it was about an extremely personal problem I would probably be taken aback at first, but I still would definitely make some time for them and help in however way I can, since they apparently trust me enough to confide.
What was the last thing to fascinate you?  The music video for My Universe! Super cool to watch and I love that they made a short film out of it too.
Is there a certain noise/sound which scares you?  Doors being slammed shut, because that’s what my mom does when she’s furious. She did that when I was a kid and she does it to this day, so I get extremely nervous when I hear the sound, even if it happens by accident.
Do you have a favourite microorganism? Nope.
Out of the people you know, whose birthday is next?  My cousin Bree.
If you have pet fish do you bother to name them?  I did when I had them as a kid.
Do you keep your eggs in the fridge?  Yes?
Have you ever owned chickens?  Nope.
When did you last listen to music?  Like five minutes ago. I tried to have a jazz playlist on but I realized I wasn’t in the mood for music so I changed my background noise to have a random VLive on instead.

Let it snow - chapter 4
As they were walking through the airport, there was only silence between the two. But, for the first time in a while, Romy didn't think it was awkward. With Emily, silence didn't seem to matter, it wasn't awkward anymore, it felt good. It felt okay. Good company makes that happen, Romy said to herself, reassuring her second thoughts. Emily was good company. And Romy felt at ease, even if she still didn't know at least 10 things about her. She was glad to be with her. To not be alone, and to not feel lonely.
Romy didn’t even have time to answer when another announcement made its way through the speakers in the overcrowded airport in Vancouver. 
"Passengers from the flight Air Canada 304, your attention please,  a specific carousel has been facilitated for you to claim and pick up your registered luggage. We are sorry for the inconveniences, but weather is just one of those things you can't control. Thank you for your understanding."
- We really should get going, I hate it when everyone just stands in front of you while you are waiting for your bags. Emily said, annoyed. 
Romy, what are you doing? She thought to herself. She found herself hesitating as they made their way out through all the other disappointed passengers. It seemed like everyone was just flying home for the holidays. And , suddenly, Romy felt as overwhelmed as before. The least thing she wanted was to be alone, because being alone most of the time only leads to feeling lonely, and that's the least thing she wanted.  Emily was right there, after all, offering company and, in a way or another, she just seemed like the perfect travel buddy. 
Romy didn't know why she was so reluctant to just say yes to everything Emily suggested. She was shy, of course, but this was also the first time she felt this intimidated by someone else. She was scared of what could happen. A lot can happen when you get to be so close to someone and for such a long time. Romy figured the snow storm wouldn't just disappear in a day, so of course they would be stuck in a hotel room for more than expected. Who on earth decides to be the roommate of someone they just met? Sleeping in the same room with a stranger? Showering in the same room with a stranger? She felt vulnerable. But she didn’t hate the idea either. She figured this would make a great story you tell when you are getting wasted with your friends, something like “I got to share a room with a stranger due to a snow storm, how cliché is that?” Didn’t that happen in movies and in movies only? Fanfics , too, but in real life? 
- What does your bag look like? Emily asked, forcing Romy to come back into reality and leave her thoughts for a minute. 
- Oh, uh… it’s black…
- You mean like literally all the bags out there?. We need something more specific, no?
- The wheels are pink?
- What now? That 's new ha ha. 
- My mum painted them for me, and it's turned out perfectly useful as you'll see. Romy said, playfully. “It just stands out , ok?”
- I bet it does… Emily said, giggling. 
- What does your bag look like then? Romy said, ready to make fun of hers too. 
- Oh, I just have this. Emily said, pointing at her back, where she carried her one and only Herschel backpack.
- You travel light , huh?
- Something like that ha ha. 
Romy figured that going for their luggage together meant agreeing to Emily’s suggestion of rooming together. And Emily just took that as a yes. 
As they waited for their luggage, Romy figured it would be a good time to get to know Emily a little better. She knew that the sooner she knew a little more about her, her overthinking would ease a little. No one wants to share a room with someone you don't even know 10 things about. 
- So… Listen, this may be silly to you, but I know nothing about you and we are about to share a room for god knows how many days, nights and you are still a stranger to me and …
- I thought we were past the strangers phase ha ha - Emily said, interrupting Romy
- Uh…
- Okay fine, let´s do something. Have you ever played this game called 20 questions? Emily, said, excited. 
- No?
- So we ask questions to each other, but the rule is that you can’t ask the same question twice. For instance, if you ask me what my favourite colour is, I won’t be able to ask you back the same question. 
- Are follow up questions allowed?
- Yes! Ready? I'll start.
- Of course you are, Romy said, resigned but with a smile on her face.
- What is your biggest fear?
- Wow, we are starting off strong… Uh.. I wouldn't know. I would say death, but I’m also very scared of heights. 
- Okay, good, now you ask me! Emily said. 
- Hmmmm, if you were granted three wishes, what would you wish for? Romy asked.
- That’s a good one! So first of all, I would ask for snow storms to stop existing! Hmmm, I would love to be a millionaire as well  and lastly I would love to have the ability to read minds! 
Romy didn't have time to say anything back when Emily was already asking the next question. 
- I’ll go easy on you this time ha ha. Favourite movie?
- I have two! Grave of the Fireflies and Avril et le monde truqué ! Romy said, with a smile on her face. 
- Oh la la, that french accent! I could listen to it all day ha ha. Your turn. 
- Favourite food?
- Just for the record, comfort food and favourite food are different things, so, my all time favourite food are tacos and pizza, but not just any tacos, authentic mexican tacos which are rare to come across if not in Mexico but well anyway, and not just any pizza, but Chicago style pizza. Now, my comfort food is definitely a bowl of cereal with a grilled cheese sandwich. Oh  and just  not any cereal , it has to be Honey cheerios cereal. Yep, there you go. 
She could talk. And Romy found it fascinating. Emily seemed to be one of those people who never run out of topics. One of those people who never let the conversation die. 
 - Tell me about your family. Romy said, thinking it was only fair to know. 
Hadn't it been for Romy’s clumsy incident, she wouldn't really have asked her that, she found it a little intrusive, even if Emily started off strong, but at this point Emily did not only get to see family pictures, she also knew her brother had died, so yeah,  she thought it was only fair to ask. Time to even the scales. 
- That is not a question, it’s an order ha ha. Emily said, nodding her head and looking away, in giggles. 
- Fine. Tell me about your family?
- Hahaha you’re smart, I’ll give you that. Well, there is not much to say really … She stopped abruptly. “Look,your bag! You are so right! It really does stand out ha ha”. 
Romy found it rather easy to get ahold of her bag. The carousel had just started to put on display all the luggage, and hers happened to be the very first one. She was too tired at this point, and carrying her 22kg bag plus her handbag plus her backpack didn't make things easier. 
- We should get going and head to the hotel, we don't want to now get stuck in an airport, huh? Emily said. 
- Let’s!
- Do you need help with any of that? Emily asked. You know what haha, just give me that, I’ll help. 
- Thanks. Romy said. So, we have a question pending, don't we?
- Do we? Questions do expire after a while, so you may want to ask another one. I lost my train of thought I am afraid. 
Emily said, smiling, but with a look in her eyes that one could describe as sad. 
Romy didn't want to push, so she decided to give in and just let it go. “Fine, maybe we can call it a day with this game. It's actually pretty exhausting. It's not that I carry with myself  a list of questions to ask to someone”
- Oh my god, you don't? First the pink wheels and now this? Who doesn't have an already prepared list of questions? Emily said, in an ironic friendly way, mocking Romy and giving her a pat on her back with her elbow.

Last one! - the future’s blurry (but the past is a trap)
Time-Travel fic!!!!! Hmmmm- what fandom what fandom so many lovely choices....
FFXV. Because that’s my mood right now (as ever).
COR.
Cor Time-Travel fic. Cor who lives to see the end of the Long Night, Cor who HOPES and dreams of helping Noctis rebuild the kingdom after he restores the dawn, Cor who is Noctis’s godfather, Cor who PROMISED Regis the first time he held the tiny sleeping infant that is now a brave and wise king that he would PROTECT Regis’s son-.
Cor who stumbles into the throne room to see three brothers sobbing over the lifeless body of their fourth and king.
And Cor ... Cor breaks. He hides in some random, rundown apartment in the empty city and drinks and drinks-
“So this is how you’re going to accept fate? By drowning yourself in a bottle?” Scorns a voice he’s only heard one time in his life but still sends him scrambling for his sword. He whirls, heart in his mouth, blade in hand and sees not a towering suit of armor with glittering eyes, but a ghostly version of a fire-eyed twenty-something adult. A towering man of nearly seven feet, board shouldered and scarred on one side of his face, dark brown hair and piercing amber eyes that mark the Amicitia line, “I had hoped for better.”
“Gilgamesh,” Cor rasps and wonders if he’s lost his mind in his grief, “What are you doing here?”
“Well,” says the man with a sneer, “I should be moving on to the afterlife. I have been freed from my prison after all. The Prophecy is fulfilled.”
“Then why haven’t you?”
A pause, and the sneer, the confidence, fades away and leaves behind someone very tired and wrung out, “Because I have regrets, and you are the only one still alive for me to speak of them to. The Last Shield will not listen, he is lost in his grief and surrounded by the living. You are alone and you are open to my voice.”
Cor doesn’t like the sound of that at all, “You are not allowed to possess me.”
Gilgamesh laughs, short and sharp but oddly genuine, more animated than he ever was as a murderous suit of armor, “No. I have no desire for that.” Burning gold eyes lock with his, “I wanted to know if you still meant what you said that day.”
It takes Cor a minute to remember. Even if he knows what “that day” Gilgamesh means, it was years ago and he was an idiot at the time. Then Cor remembers, and his already broken mood sours, “I did. For whatever good it did. I’ve failed. They’re dead. Both of them.” Cor laughs and the sound is poison even to his own ears, “You were right. I am no Shield.”
“No. You are a Sword,” Gilgamesh corrects, “and you should have been treated as such. Instead you were sheltered and lied to, and those lies dulled your edge until you were useless to stop the death of those you cherished.”
Cor throws the bottle at the ghost’s head, listens to the shatter of glass as the ghost lets it phase right through him without a blink, “What do you want?” He roars at the ghost, fragments of his wild temper from his youth coming back to his bones.
“What my brother’s dear Shield is trying to say,” purrs another ghost that Cor hates even more, who also doesn’t blink when Cor draws his blade and tries to behead him, “is that we both feel terribly guilty. More than that, the rest of those who once were in the Ring feel guilty, and angry. We’ve also got a very spiteful and a very remorseful Astral respectively on our side in the matter, now all we need is a living human member of the conspiracy.” Ardyn Lucis Caelum, blue eyed and purified and just as dangerously mischievous as ever, grins at Cor as the human forms of Shiva and Ifrit manifest in his apartment, alongside far too many royal ghosts for Cor’s comfort (he firmly does not look at the ghost of Regis, sagging tiredly in a corner, the only one he recognizes other than Mors now that they are all human looking rather than giant statues with face masks).
“So,” The ghost of Ardyn purrs with a rueful smile, “what do you say to saving the world and your precious kings in one fell swoop and maybe spiting the Draconian along the way?”
And it’s a stupid idea. Cor probably isn’t even seeing any of this. He’s probably lying in the apartment, dying of alcohol poisoning and grief right now, hallucinating all of this as he goes. But if he isn’t.
If he isn’t...
“What do you need me to do?”
Their plan is simple on their end, and painful on Cor’s. They grab him and throw him back through time, drag him with them as one by one they use up the last of their magic and finally vanish, because for all Cor calls them ghosts, they are not. Living souls do not linger after they die, but memories can. Memories given shape and form by magic, and when that magic was used up and given away, the memories are shattered, turned back into the formless nothing they really were.
They carve open Cor’s being and pour their magic into it, Gilgamesh at the fore, leading the way through the howling abyss while each king and queen carves Cor open a little more and pours in the magic keeping him alive and sane as he plummets through time. Regis’s touch lingers longer than the others, a breath of apology on his brow before that memory too, shatters and falls away.
Mors’ fingers wrap around his wrist and Cor struggles for the first time as his blood burns under the king’s touch in a way the others had not, “Hold still,” snarls the man coolly, “I do this as a favor for my son and grandson alone. Hold still and let me work or you will die the moment you reach our destination.” Cor stills and his blood burns until Mors too shatters.
Then it is only Gilgamesh, Cor ... and Ardyn.
“Free me,” he whispers as he presses something into Cor’s hands (or maybe into Cor’s soul, it’s hard to tell where reality ended and magic began in this place), “Find my past self and free me, then give me this.” A chuckle, “Let’s see the Empire grow so strong without it’s Accursed to feed from.”
“What about Prompto?” Cor asks desperately, because he is here to save those he cares about, not condemn the man who was like a son to him to nonexistence.
“Have a little faith,” laughs the former Chancellor, “a King needs his Heart, and Noctis will have his. Now,” hands on his shoulders, a final yank from Gilgamesh, “Go.”
Cor wakes up.
He promptly rolls over and vomits onto the stone.
Gilgamesh, a towering suit of armor once more, watches him gasp and wheeze and shake under the too-sharp sensation of magic living in his veins and reality existing again after so much time falling through time and void without comment. When Cor is done and has staggered upright, Gilgamesh hands him a sword.
Cor leaves the Tempering Grounds unbothered by the things that lurk there and makes straight for the Rock of Ravatogh. He gains the waiting Infernian’s Blessing, then collapses in a caravan for the night after several days and nights spent walking without pause and sleeping on cold Havens without so much as a blanket.
After waking up and showering, he spends a good twenty minutes the next day cursing at a mirror.
He’s fifteen again. He’s fifteen years old when in the original timeline he would have been six (is six, somewhere out there the original Cor Leonis still lives and grows, unaware of an altered future counterpart).
He’s also not Cor anymore. His eyes are the same, icy blue and angry, his face shape is very similar-. His hair is not. His hair is black and thick and wavy, and under his skin, magic coils, deep and effortless and his, not a gift from another.
Those blasted ghosts turned him into a Lucis Caelum.
He thinks of Mors’ cold fingers on his wrist and burning in his blood, Mors’ angry demand he stay still if he wanted to “survive the destination” and swears louder.
Then he picks up his sword and disappears into the wilderness again. Let Shiva come find him. She had a talent for finding Lucis Caelums anyway.
She finds him in the Quay, as Cor steals a boat to make for Angelgard, she Blesses him and disappears, and in her wake is a winter mist that shields Cor’s journey to the isle from prying eyes.
He cracks open the prison with the magic he now has in excess, falters at the sight before him.
Ardyn looks a lot less like evil incarnate and more like a shivering, frightened, half-starved cat this way.
Also who hung up their prisoners on MEATHOOKS like some kind of slasher from a horror film?
Overdramatic Lucis Caelums, that’s who.
Cor hauls Ardyn down from his chains and carries the weak, disorientated Accursed outside. He can hear Ramuh stirring in the clouds as he takes the nameless Thing that Ardyn of the future gave him (magic, pure magic, an orb of it as bright as gold and the dawn) and crushes it against this Ardyn’s chest like he would a potion.
He sidesteps the black bile Ardyn heaves up like a drowning man ejecting water from his lungs, writhing and whimpering on the stone as Scourge smoke recoils off his body like it’s trying to escape, only to be burned clear by golden magic. Well. That was convenient. Pity he doesn’t have enough of those to cure the whole planet.
Ardyn stays silent, dazed and wide-eyed as Cor hauls him back to the mainland, steals some proper clothes and then bundles him in a caravan for the night. The man out of time flinches at every modern amenity, stares at the soup Cor roughly puts in front of him with confused eyes. Finally, tentatively, as if afraid of being struck (and that shouldn’t make Cor angry, it shouldn’t, this man killed both Cor’s kings and threw the world into darkness. He deserved whatever fear he felt, yet looking at him now Cor can feel nothing but pity and anger on the man’s behalf) he speaks, “Who ... who are you? You ... you healed me. I ... do not understand.”
And Cor pauses, because he ... isn’t Cor now is he? There is already a young Cor Leonis out there somewhere, and no one can know that Cor is one and the same person as that youth.
In the end he shrugs, “I don’t have a name.”
“...What?”
“I don’t have a name. I gave it up. It was the price for healing you.”
“Then why,” Ardyn asks incredulously, “did you heal me? I am a stranger to you, a monster.”
Cor scoffed. The Chancellor of his time was a monster. This man? This man was about as monstrous as a starving kitten, “Not anymore you’re not, so stop that.” At the sight of Ardyn’s frown, Cor rolls his eyes and says gruffly, “If it bothers you so much, give me a new one.”
Ardyn gapes, “You ... want me to name you. Just like that.”
“Is that a problem?”
The redhead stays speechless for a while and Cor busies himself polishing his sword and ignoring the fact that he’s now distantly RELATED to this man (and also, if he doesn’t miss his timeline, OLDER than Regis by several years. Thanks a lot Kings of Yore).
“Glaucus.” Cor twitched and looked up sharply, Ardyn shrank in his seat a little, “You don’t like it?”
It sounds too much like Glauca. But he couldn’t say that, and it was better than lots of other names Ardyn could have come up with. Even if he had no idea where Ardyn had come up with that name. Cor forced his shoulders to relax and went back to caring for his blade, “Do as you please.”
“Glaucus,” repeated Ardyn softly and Cor- Glaucus, resigned himself to having a name very similar to that of a traitor and imperial experiment.
Kind of fitting, considering the company he was keeping.
Glaucus set his sword aside and gestured toward the bed, “If you’re done eating, go get some proper sleep. We’ll be leaving once you wake up.”
“Where will we be going?”
Glaucus smirked and knew it was not a nice expression, “A place called the Tempering Grounds. There’s someone who owes you an apology.”
(anyway hi yes I have a new AU to keep. In it “Glaucus” is now an LC, specifically and according to blood test MORS’ kid and he’s about 4 years older than Regis. I shall expand on this new AU another time. Tagging @sparklecryptid @hamelin-born @a-world-in-grey @ean-sovukau @ertrunkenerwassergeist behold my newest insanity).

ok i have several! (also i never find ask blog posts annoying i think it’s cool to get answers from people! i might be biased bc i post them a t o n but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) ok here we go! soul punk, american beauty/american psycho, this ain’t a scene, it’s an arms race, disloyal order of water buffaloes, and my songs know what you did in the dark!
ALLISON KNOW THAT I WOULD DIE FOR YOU
soul punk: do you like working solo or with others?
depends on what we’re working on, but generally solo. i don’t like relying too much on others bc either theyre better than me and i feel like dead weight/disappointing or they do nothing and i feel cheated looool very rarely do group projects feel equal cameron from the campus paper why did you leave me high and dry during swap week
american beauty/american psycho: what’s something that drives you crazy?
being in a car in any sort of traffic. the repeated stop/start makes me so angry but i also get carsick so by the end of it im nauseous and insane.
this ain’t a scene, it’s an arms race: do you hold grudges, or prefer to keep things civil?
i am very civil but... i will hold the grudge in my heart. like i’m very good at acting totally chill and good but... i will remember what you did forever and it will definitely reflect on how i feel about you forever.
disloyal order of water buffaloes: what are your favorite and least favorite fall out boy albums?
uh so fall out boy dont have bad albums, jot that down. favourite is definitely folie a deux, least... is evening out with your girlfriend because a) i dont consider it an album and more importantly b) they don’t consider it an album, so i just don’t listen to that one ever. 
that answer is probably taking the easy way out but contemplating least favourites out of the actual seven (???) albums they claim as theirs would kill me
my songs know what you did in the dark: have you ever set something on fire?
hmmmm i’ve def accidentally set like oven mits on fire, and just like scraps of paper or whatever but i never rly had the obsessed with arson phase i know a lot of people did

Twin Snowflakes pt9: Phased
“Veronica! Hurry up!!!!!” The most common words to have come out Yang’s mouth in recent days. Day, evening, or nigh, Yang was calling her name through their living room and dining room that was completely littered with clothes on top of suitcases. “Getting dressed!” A younger voice yelled from upstairs.
Yang:Why aren’t you dressed already!?!?!
Veronica:I was, but I forgot the socks that went with got dirty.
Yang:So you changed the whole outfit!?
Veronica:Why do you sound surprised by this!?
Yang:Veronica if we miss our boat to anima I swear-
“Gah!” A curtain of blonde hair with several dark strands of black hits her face and got all in her mouth. Yang immediately backed up and looked towards the ceiling with a slightly irritated gleam in her eyes. Both of her arms went to her hips. “Really Veronica?” The young girl was trying to keep a straight face which was incredibly hard when looking at her ma’s trade mark stare upside down. Frankly she was impressed Yang wasn’t laughing at just seeing a blinking head.
Veronica:Hi.
Yang:Are you dressed yet?
Veronica:Almost. Can you hand me that top behind you. I’m not decent.
Yang:I hope you mean the purple long sleeve because the only other shirt I see is the white v-neck that I’d find hard pressed to call decent.
Veronica:You fought crime in incredibly small tights, a small jacket, and a tube top. You’re going to give me flack about a v-neck?
Yang: First of all, they were compression shorts. Second, are you trying to wear it with the black miniskirt.
Veronica:.....
Yang:*smirking* Thought so. You’re getting the long sleeve.
Veronica:*folds ears* Mom! Your wife is being grumpy!
Yang:Blake! Come straighten out your child!
Slow footsteps came creaking around the corner to show the tired faunus in her nightgown stumbling a bit. Her long hair a total mess and waving her ears hello at both bundles of fiery passion. Veronica’s arm came through the ceiling to wave back in rhythm with her own ears. Yang walked over to kiss Blake’s cheek and becoming a post for a Blake to lean on.
Yang:Sorry, didn’t realize you were still sleeping.
Blake:Stayed up.....to finish some papers. Why are you two arguing? Actually, why are you still here?
Yang:Your daughter-
Blake:Our daughter.
Yang:She’s yours when she gets like this.
Veronica and Blake:What, you mean like you?
Yang:H...Hey! Can you just tell her to dress conservative while we’re going to the coldest place ever and hurry up.
Veronica:That ship is literally here for us; they won’t leave us behind. Also please explain to ma how my outfit choices are fine.
Blake:....
Blake:Can I make tea first? Also talk to both of you at ground level? Veronica just throw on something, or nothing at really. You came out of me. I’ve made everything you got.
Veronica:Eugh, mom can you not phrase it like that?
Yang:Right? I mean I helped a little.
Veronica:Really!? Right in front of me? *leaves*
Yang:Old enough to where what you like but can’t handle a little adult humor. Oh how I mess being sixteen.
Blake:I don’t.
Yang:I doubt any member of a radical group would. How would you like your tea? Please say with honey.
Blake:Lavender.
Yang:Booooo. One day you’ll join the honey team. *grabs kettle*
Blake:Between your jokes and scuffles with Veronica about clothes I hope you know that you sound just like your dad.
Yang:Good! He raised two badass daughters. I got my hands full with just one.
Veronica:I’m coming down. Mind your heads!
Blake moves a chair and the surrounding clutter as Veronica’s legs start coming through the ceiling; shortly followed by the rest of her. She lands softly with no sound what so ever. Despite the talk about the so called compression shorts that Veronica tried to call out, she was now wearing them along with a tank top. Her tail slides up the front of it to rub her stomach.
Veronica:Geez guess I should really put all of theses actually in the suitcases now huh?
Yang:Ya think?
Blake:Do you really have to take so much clothes and fabric with you?
Veronica:Of course! I know the change of scenery will inspire me to come up with a new design. Can’t let the ideas escape from me because I’m unprepared.
Yang:You do remember you’re also helping set up and manage the tournament right. It’s not a vacation. *hands Blake a cup of tea*
Blake:*grabs entire tea pot*
Yang:......
Veronica:*smiles* It might not be a vacation but it’s definitely a breath of fresh. I plan to capitalize on it and that starts with attire.
Yang:Fair, just not that v-neck.
Veronica:Hmmmm, what’s stopping me from grabbing it right now and running away?
Yang:What’s stopping me from cutting off all the lights and wrestling you?
Veronica:I hope all the stuff on the ground. We both can’t be fumbling around in the dark.
Yang:I like my odds.
Blake:*wiping mouth* Ooooorrrrrr you can let me take a side like you both called me in here to do.
Veronica and Yang:.......Did you drink the whole pot?
Blake:Oh, sorry, I didn’t ask if you wanted any.
Yang:That’s not the issue....
Veronica:Wasn’t that scolding?
Blake:Eh. Let’s focus on the problem at hand. Yang?
Yang:Y...Yes?
Blake:If Veronica were to walk around as she is right now, would you think that is appropriate?
Somehow there was a trap in this question, but Yang couldn’t figure it out for the life of her. She turned to Veronica to exam her. The girl truly was blooming just like Yang had around that age. Toned body, a healthy smile, hair, dramatic lilac eyes, and a figure that somehow managed to take a decent amount of the best parts from both her and Blake; just proportioned to the girls slightly leaner and shorter build. Yang would be over the moon that somehow every Xiao Long kid made out to be basically a bombshell. Too bad it came with constant supervision to spot the wondering eyes of others. ‘I gotta remember to treat dad to something. How’d he do this like it was nothing?’
Yang:Well.....it’s not exactly inappropriate but I wouldn’t be comfortable with it.
Blake:*Smirking* Why?
Yang:Because you know how people are! Who knows when creep might pull a stunt or she might get unwanted attention. Girls might hassle her and guys can be excessive. I just want you to not have to deal with all that because if I see it then I might fight a kid.
Veronica:I fight my own battles you know? I mean it would be pretty lame if I couldn’t. You don’t exactly pull your punches in the ring. Or anywhere for that matter.
Blake:Now for the final question. Yang, do you remember what you were when we first met?
Yang:.......I was 18
Veronica:Wait, what was she wearing?
Blake:Exactly what you have on right now.
Veronica:Seriously!?
Yang:But I was 18!
Blake:With no super vision, in a public area, and you had no care in the world. Were you worried about anyone making a pass at you.
Yang:No, anyone who tried something would’ve gotten beaten u-
Veronica:*smiling*
Yang:Blake! I thought you were gonna be on my side!
Blake:She might not be 18 but she’s also not alone. Plus yoy have worn far less.
Veronica:Did not think I’d actually win this argument. Thanks mom.
Blake:I’m not finished.
Veronica:Should’ve known....
Blake:Yang, can I talk to her one on one really quick?
Yang:Okay? I guess I’ll just go pack up then? *slowly walking out*
Blake:Hey...
Veronica:H-Hey?
Blake:Wanna tell me why you’re throwing a fuss about not wearing a purple top; you’re favorite top I might add?
Veronica:No particular reason. I just don’t like feeling confined.
Blake:We are your parents. We’re supposed to impose limits and you only have a couple. Clothes suggestions have never gotten under your skin before.
Veronica:Yeah well I suppose that’s changed a bit. What’s the point of designing clothes and going to school for it if I can’t diversify my style. Let people be left in awe by me.
Blake:Is Nicholas one of those people?
Veronica’s eye went wide before her face flushed a rosey red. Blake had hit a soft spot and she knew it. She stood up to walk towards her daughter who had crossed her arms and turned her head away to avoid looking directly into those amber eyes that always seemed to cut right through her defenses. That didn’t stop Veronica to allow Blake to pull her into a gentle embrace.
Blake:I’m surprised. I half expecting my arms to go right through you.
Veronica:Yeah well...I like your hugs.
Blake:And I like knowing your okay. I’m positive you’ll get more interest out of him by being nice to his sister then showing skin
Veronica:One of those things is far easier.
Blake:Please be on your best behavior.
Veronica:I always am. What happens is up to her.
Blake:Ver-
Veronica:I know. Inhales...... I know. Hopefully we’ll both be too busy to interact much and we don’t have to socialize.
Blake:That’s not really what I would call a solution. Going was your idea so I expect nothing but good news. I’ll be there when the actual tournament begins and I can’t wait to see how you added style to the arena.
Veronica:I gotta get there first. Which means I really need to pack all this up and get dressed.
Blake:Is that your way of saying “Mom please let go of me?”
Veronica:Such intelligence. No wonder you are the greatest high leader Remnant has ever seen.
Blake:Pfft whatever you know it all. *lets go*
They share one last look before Veronica grabs her purple shirt it winks. “What can I say? I looks amazing on me.” Blake playfully rolls her eyes and watches her daughter leap into the air and phase through the ceiling.
Blake:Hehe we have stairs!
Veronica:*muffled* And they look lovely!
Blake:Yang you can come back in!
Yang:*peeks around corner* Why do I always have to leave the room?
Blake:Because she thinks you’re strong and amazing like how you think of your dad. We both know how much you feel frustrated whenever he sees you get emotional.
Yang:*red* He’s seen me soft too many times. I’m grown.
Blake:Only proving my point dork. I know I probably spoil her too much but let Veronica spread her wings a bit. She rarely gets to do that around here.
Yang:*frowns* I know. I’m just worried she’ll spread those wings too far. There might not be enough room for anyone else. Atlas might have a new ruler by the time tournament is over.
Blake:Atlas’s loves Nick and Summer too much for that.
Yang:I never said she’d do it easily. I can see it now, a turf war that shook the world.
Blake:You’re so dramatic.
Yang:That’s why you married me.
Blake:Certainly wasn’t for your tea making skills. *darts off smiling*
Yang:What!? My tea is fine! Blake! *runs after her*

“Achooo!!!”
Winter:That was some sneeze. The weather getting to you?
Summer:No. I’m not sure where that came from.
The two of them had landed down on the Mantle wall for several minutes now. Both under the wing of the summoned nevermore to avoid the light rain. Little was said between them after their embrace in the sky. Words was never Winter’s strongest skill; even after all these years. It was more comfortable watching the warm glow of the city lights in silence, but Weiss had given her a task. See if Summer was truly okay.
Her earlier actions definitely raised a few unsettling flags that Summer tried to ensure where just in Winter’s head. Still, Summer’s face, Winter couldn’t help but notice how solemn it was. The girl had already faced trials and tribulations no one should at her age. Winter took ahold her hand which made the girl jump slightly. She had completely zoned out for a moment but now looked at her aunt perplexed.
Summer:Yes auntie?
Winter:You were lost in thought. Where you having a conversation again?
Summer:No, I had enough of Shiva’s comments for one day. For a lifetime actually.
Winter:I cannot imagine what’s it’s like going through that. Especially for so long.
Summer:It’s no different than enteral monologue really, or the voice people have when they’re silently reading to themselves. Only mine has a will of its own. Not to mention the space I seem to find myself in whenever things get out of hand. I guess that part is a bit different from most people.
Winter:The mind is a complex thing to say the least.
Summer:Yeah, and mine is broken.
Winter:Your mind is not broken Summer.
Summer:Feels that way sometime. There’s still so much I don’t fully understand about what’s happening. Even after all this time.
Winter:That’s not a fault on you. Science is merely trying to catch up with such an unorthodox event. Just the other day Oscar and Qrow went off to find answers just for you. I believe even Adrian tagged along.
SummerReally!? Where are they going?
Winter:To see if anything can be learned from the Gods. If they manage to find them that is.
Summer:That’s....a tall order. All that for me? I’m the one who should be going through that trouble. It’s my problem after all.
Winter:This is something everyone has to deal with.
Summer:Oh.....sorry. *frowning*
Winter:That’s not what I-.....sigh, what I meant is we are all family. If one of us has a problem then all of us do and it’s no big deal for anyone to try and resolve it.
Summer:That doesn’t make it less frustrating for me though. I know you all care. I do, but there’s just something. Like a gap I can’t seem to close between myself and the rest of the world. Like I never really left that lake.
Winter:....Then lets go back.
Summer:W...what?
Winter:It’s somewhere down here right? Maybe going there will spark something.
Summer:An answer?
Winter:Perhaps, or closure.
Summer:Closure huh? (Maybe that is what I’m actually missing.) I will think about it. First things first, I actually came down here for a reason. Despite the bond and resources between Atlas and Mantle growing, there’s still plenty of people that still live on the streets. I tend to donate money when I can also sometimes I just go around the city to go buy food or warm clothes to whoever I find.
Winter:I had no idea you kept a close eye on these types of things. How often do you come down here.
Summer: Enough to hurt my grades it seems. You are the first person to catch me chain grinding attempts. Can’t believe you saw the worst one though. That’s embarrassing to say the least.
Winter:Attempts? Summer I know you’re smart enough to know what you’re doing is extremely dangerous. Not to mention illegal. What if I hadn’t caught you?
Summer:I would’ve just....it’s actually easier to show you. If that’s okay I mean.
Winter:*raises eyebrow* Is it safe?
Summer’s face scrunches up as she wobbles her hand up and down. “Safer than most of the things involving the cold. I can control it just fine.” Now it was Winter’s turn to look skeptical. This could potentially be a slippery slope their playing with. However, it was hard not to notice the slight excitement in Summer’s voice. “If you really can control it...then I suppose there isn’t any ha-“
“Yes!” Summer bounced a little at the thought of showing off. She removed her cloves and tugged her shirt down for more air flow. Winter stood beside her and watched carefully. Shiva and her powers over ice weren’t anything new but this pseudo form that rest in between the full transition had her attention. It was easy to tell Summer had been hard at work trying to find a way to turn this accident into something useful without succumbing to it. At first glance anyone wouldn’t notice the flickering in her eyes or the subtle color shifts in at the ends of her hair.
She watched her niece clap her hands together then pull them apart slowly as the cold itself seemed to be drawn into the middle. Ice crystals grew larger while expanding length wise. Summer had created another snowboard in no time at all. It might’ve been second nature to her fall all Winter can tell. And yet....“You sure I don’t have to worry this time about catching you?”
“Follow behind me if it makes you feel better. I’m heading towards the dust facility down here so keep up.” Summer said with a thumbs up and took a running start before leaping off the wall. The Nevermore swooped Winter and took off. Tailing Summer like instructed. Winter was quite surprised to say the least at what she witnessed. The rain around Summer turned to slush and ice that trailed underneath her. More and more swirled down by the base of the bored each way swayed it. Summer was snowboarding in midair and that was something Winter admitted to herself was worth showing off. From behind her it was still easy to till Summer was enjoying herself, yet also not quite how she usually would. The essence around her felt more...invigorating. Winter couldn’t help but wonder.....where exactly do Summer’s actions end, and Shiva’s begin?

Gym Teacher: Mr. Schnee I appreciate your enthusiasm but don’t you think this is a bit much for you to handle?
Nick:Come on Coach Bree. Aren’t you always telling me to get my striking speed up?
Harriet: Yeah but...
The both of them stare at the giant track field at the back of the school. Easily three miles long and leaving plenty of space in the middle for games such as soccer or football. Also the giant paladin that is currently setting his laser sights on Nick.
Harriet:Beating a Paladin alone is a tall order. Why not take the regular physical exams like everyone else?
Nick:My schedule is busy as it is! I can’t waste two class periods on doing them when I can take the expedited test and pass automatically; plus it’s good training for the tournament. It’s just rubber bullets and lasers set to stun.
Harriet:With concussion grenades, thrusters for speed, it’s made of the finest metal, and designed to be on destroy Goliaths. Seniors have difficulty with this. I’ll admit you have skill but not that much skill.
Nick:You just don’t feel like writing a incident report.
Harriet:What teacher does!? Plus I don’t feel like getting yelled at if you can’t participate in the tournament. I’ll never hear the end of it.
Nick:Ugh, and after all that work I put into finishing that science test early.
Harriet:Sorry kid. Like I said, seniors have trouble with this. I actually let them team up for it.
Nick:That tough huh? Oh! If that’s the case then can I take it with others!?
Harriet:I’d might consider it but there’s a problem. No one your age is crazy enough to attempt this. Most of them are still working of the fat from winter break.
Nick:No one crazy enough. I think you underestimate Valerie.
Harriet:She already took the first half of the regular exam so good luck making her decide to switch up.
Nick:Crap, I forgot she had P.E. already. Man this sucks!
Harriet:.....I tell you what. Your sister didn’t show up today. Despite her absences....
Nick:*flinches* Hehe see about that... she ate waaaaay to much Christmas ham and-
Harriet:I’m in the loop on her reluctance to attend my class genius. Your mom called earlier to give me a heads up that I’d only be seeing you today. That girl is really started to throw a wrench in my planning.
Nick:I’m sorry....I know she feels awful about it.
Harriet:*scratches head* Doesn’t change I need numbers for her. Putting in zeros in grade books is easy. Putting them in battle info makes it extremely hard to plan proper routines that are challenging but not suicidal. But since you’re determined about risking safety anyways. If by some miracle you can convince Summer and Valerie to take this with you, then I’d feel more confident that I won’t send a student home with broken bones like last time.
Nick:Really!? Alright!
Harriet:That last part just didn’t matter to you did it?
Nick:No offense, but we are eople with gold and silver medals for combat related activities should be just fine. Tomorrow it is! Before or after school?
Harriet:I’m not waking up earlier to call an ambulance. After school or if you all so happen to have a free period around the same time.
Nick:After school it is! I got a good feeling about this!
xxxx
Valerie:You are insane...
Nick:Please!?
“SSSSSHHHHHH!!!!” Multiple students stared at the boy annoyed as they were peacefully trying to read. He had forgotten where he was for a moment and quickly hid his face behind a book before the librarian started skulking around. Valerie watched the boy’s eyes peek over the top of pages and waited for him to continue to make his case. This time in a whisper.
Nick:Pretty please?
Valerie:No. I had to spend my time in that stupid dressing room and listen to dumb girls have a contest over who was hotter. That is sanity wasted if I switch up now.
Nick:That’s ridiculous.
Valerie:Their arguing or my complaining? Choose carefully.
Nick:The fact that they’re fighting about who’s the prettiest when you’re in the room.
Valerie:Well played. Still not doing it. Why am I a requirement.
Nick:*grabs her hands* Because without you we’d be hard press to find someone else our grade to keep up with us. Only you can do it. You’re awesome. We both know that.
Now he’d done it. Valerie was never a person to care about compliments yet Nick’s were a bit different from most. Maybe it was that Arc charm at work or seeing Schnee eyes look so soft, but his compliments always felt incredibly genuine. It was irritating after all this time he was as good with words as she was. Murmurs reached her ears as more students started watching the two. More importantly, their hands. He still hadn’t let go. How long have they been like this?
Val’s face got a bit stern and she shook her hands free. She brought her right one up to thump the poor boy right in the nose to wipe that puppy dog look away.
Nick:Ow...still no?
Valerie:.......Fine, but I’m only saying fine because I’d be road kill earlier without you. Then we’re even.
Nick:You’re still thinking about that? I wasn’t gonna hold saving your life over your head by any means but if it makes you feel better then okay. We’ll be even.
Valerie:Good. I guess I can make a peace of my day completely irrelevant now.
Nick:You’re the best!!!
Liberian:Quiet!!!
Nick:Whoops! I should go. Thanks again!
Valerie:Sure th-
Nicholas went in and hugged her fast before pulling back and showing a gleeful grinn. Before she could say anything he was running off out of the library and more importantly, the studying students. Some of them turned their attention to her so at least she could feel their frustration. Even the Liberian shot of look of displeasure which only increased the embarrassment on her face. She had no choice but to bury herself into the text book she had been reading before things got loud. It did not stop the feeling of them staring behind it, or her face from turning red.
Valerie:(Damn it Nicholas. I’m totally getting you back for this somehow!)

Yang:*tapping her foot* (I swear this girl) Veronica in a second I’m just gonna lea-
“I’m ready!” The girl came sliding into view with her luggage in hand. Yang couldn’t help but smile as it seemed common ground between them was found. Her daughter wore black flats accompanied with black thigh high socks and the skirt mentioned from earlier. A gap between the two showed some skin but not crazy in the slightest. The purple long sleeve shirt was worn with pride and Yang couldn’t help but notice Veronica had taken the time to make hair a little crinklly.
She paid no mind to her mother as she strutted passed her mom with her tail pulling her luggage along. Veronica was too busy already opening up her journal and going over unfinished designs.
Veronica:Let’s get to it Ma. Ship won’t wait forever right?
Yang:For your sake I hope you don’t have to kick anyone.
Veronica:Already got it covered. A little thing called compression shorts. It’s hard to tell because I’m not only wearing them. Thought it should go underneath something.
Yang:I’m gonna have to deal with that the whole ride huh?
Veronica:Oh yeah. *closes door*

Chat for a Day:  Chapter 4
I’m Never Going to Leave You
After closing the door behind her, Marinette suddenly felt lightheaded.  The adrenaline rush that had accompanied her exchange with Adrien was starting to wear off.  That coupled with the exhaustion from her sleepless night were starting to take a physical toll on her body.
The nurse picked up on her distress, and she was immediately offered a place to lay down.  Grateful for the opportunity, Marinette climbed onto the bed in the nurse’s office and closed her eyes.
Once the nurse drew a curtain around the bed and returned to her desk on the far side of the office, Tikki emerged from her chosen’s purse.
“Are you okay, Marinette?” Tikki asked in a barely audible whisper.
“I’m feeling a little sleepy right now.  My head kind of hurts, too,” Marinette mumbled without opening her eyes.
“You did stay up pretty late last night.”
“Yeah, but it was worth it.  I was confident today, Tikki.”
“Yes, you were.  I’m very proud of you, but it probably helped that Adrien turned out to be Chat Noir though.”
“True.”
“Did I really call Adrien Agreste ���hot stuff’ and bop him on the nose?”
“Yes, you did.  You also told him that you loved him.”
“Hmmmm...yeah I did.  I’m definitely going to freak out about that later.”
“I wouldn’t expect anything less, Marinette.”
“I think I’m going to rest my eyes for a little…” Marinette cut herself off as she fell fast asleep.
***
Plagg was a Kwami of simple pleasures.  He didn’t require much.  All he ever really wanted was some (well...lots of) camembert, a comfortable place to sleep, and something to keep him occupied when he was awake.  Usually, finding something to do while Adrien was in school was difficult, and he often found himself getting bored inside of his boy’s bag. However, today’s little show had been very interesting to watch.  It was definitely quality entertainment.  
After watching Tikki’s bug deliver what had to have been an Oscar-worthy performance, observing his own chosen’s internal meltdown was simply icing on the proverbial cake.  Before it started, he knew this day was going to be great, but he wasn’t expecting it to be this amazing.  He knew he would be laughing about this for years to come.
While he would never openly admit it, Plagg really did love and care for Adrien.  He didn’t want to see his boy feeling hurt; however, watching him have an existential crisis?  He was totally on board for that.  Not only was it HILARIOUS, but it fulfilled his secret desire to see his chosen happy.  Adrien was finally going to get the girl.  It was the sappy “happily ever after” moment the kid had always dreamed of.
Despite the incredible stunt that bakery girl had pulled, Plagg knew that Tikki’s chosen had a tendency to be a little hesitant around Adrien.  He knew his boy wasn’t perfect (he was probably the most oblivious human being on the planet), but he was afraid that the little bug might get spooked and start avoiding Adrien.  Plagg had seen first hand just how much of a hopeless romantic his holder was, and having Marinette run away would crush him.  
While Plagg typically didn’t get involved in his wielders’ love lives, he refused to see Adrien disappointed...again.  The boy had enough people in his life who consistently let him down, and he didn’t know Marinette well enough to trust that she wouldn’t become one of those people.  He didn’t blame her for turning down Chat’s advances over the past year, but he didn’t want that to bleed into the duo’s civilian relationship.  
In all his years as a Kwami to a miraculous holder, Plagg had never seen two people more perfectly matched.  Without each other, this Ladybug and Chat Noir would never grow into the heroes that they needed to be to defeat Hawkmoth.  This relationship needed to be protected at all costs.  Therefore, as soon as he was able, Plagg zipped out of Adrien’s bag, phased through the wall, and flew down to the nurse’s office.
Plagg hid in an air vent and surveyed the scene below him.  The nurse sat quietly at her desk doing paperwork.  She appeared to be blissfully unaware of the world around her.  He spotted the curtained off section of the room and prayed that Tikki was hiding there with her chosen.
Plagg zoomed into the secluded space and whispered loudly, “Sugarcube?  Are you here?”
Tikki zipped out of Marinette’s bag and shushed her counterpart.  “Quiet, you’ll wake her up.”
He looked at the unconscious girl with a confused expression.  “What happened to her?”
“She didn’t sleep much last night after accepting the challenge from your chosen.  Then, once she found out that Adrien was Chat Noir...actually, I’m not sure what happened.  I think it was the push she needed to get over her anxiety around Adrien.  However, she has a headache now, and she’s been sleeping since she got here.”
“So, she isn’t scared of him anymore?”
“I don’t think she was ever scared of him.  I think she was scared of being rejected by him, but as soon as she found out that Adrien was in love with her...well, that fear got smaller.  I don’t think it took away her all nervousness though.  It took a lot out of her to confess her feelings.”
“I can imagine.  Adrien did it several times.”
“Yeah, he did.  That will probably come up during her private freak out fest later.  At least they found each other.  Wait...your boy figured it out right?”
“Oh, yeah.  He’s already having his own freak out fest.  He’s been catatonic for the past two hours in class.  However, if I know him at all, once he snaps out of it, he will be in full-blown romance mode.  Your girl wasn’t lying when she said that she loves Adrien, right?  Because I don’t think he’ll be able to handle it if she didn’t actually love him.”
“She loves him alright.  You know, she never actually hated Chat Noir.  It’s just that she loved Adrien so much.  Now that she knows they’re the same person, she loves him even more.”
Plagg flew close to Tikki and took her paws in her own.  “We have to make sure this relationship happens.  We can’t let the momentum stop.  These two need each other.”
Tikki giggled.  “Awww, Plagg.  You’re such a big softie.”
“You know I care about all my kittens.  I mess with them because it makes them better heroes in the end.”
“That and you think it’s funny.”
“Yeah, I do,” Plagg said wistfully, “I really do...but that’s not the point!  You and I both know that they will become stronger once they’ve worked on their bond as partners.  They are two sides of the same coin.  Yin and yang.  They complete each other.”
“I know, I know,” Tikki responded, “I was even going to suggest to Marinette that she should reveal her identity soon.  Hawkmoth is getting stronger.  Now, that he has a partner, these two will need each other more than ever.”
“Exactly!  However, these two are in love, and that can be a tricky thing.  We need to ensure that this works out.  Adrien is the most lovesick kitten I’ve ever had, but I’m worried about your chosen.  I know you said she loves him, but can we be sure that she won’t turn him down again or let her nervousness get in the way?”
“I don’t think we have to worry about that.  She seemed pretty determined to get herself a boyfriend earlier today.  Marinette also told me that all she wants is for him to be happy.  She’s still anxious, but I’ve seen her push away fear many times.  Remember how she stood up to Chloe?”
“Okay, that’s good...but we should still help them right?”
“Oh, yeah.  Definitely.”
“Jeez, our kids are a mess this time.”
Tikki smiled and looked at her chosen.  “Yeah, but they’re our messes.”
Plagg sighed, “Alright, so your girl is passed out, and once my boy starts breathing again, he will be looking for an opportunity to get back to her.  We need to make sure that he has that chance.”
“Yes, and we also need to make sure that Alya stays away.  They need alone time.”
“Agreed...BUT your chosen had a full-blown personality change in front of the nosy girl  She was freaking out quite a bit this morning.  She’s probably calmer now, but still.”
“Hmmmm,” Tikki said pursing her lips, “That’s going to be a problem.  Alya is really protective.  If she thinks something is wrong, she’s going to check it out...unless Marinette herself tells her to stay away.  But she can’t exactly do that right now.”
Plagg thought for a moment. “Wait!  I know.  Do you know how to text using your chosen’s phone?”
“Yes, but using her phone without permission is an invasion of privacy!”
“Puh-lease.  You and I both know for a fact that your bug has no boundaries when it comes to cell phones.  May I remind you of that little stunt she pulled with Adrien’s phone?”
Tikki sighed. “No, you’re right.  And that wasn’t the only time she took someone’s phone.  She’ll forgive us.”
“Wait, are you telling me that she’s stolen more than one phone?”  Plagg did his best to hold back his laughter.  (He did not want the nurse to hear him.) “That’s hilarious!  She is a girl after my own heart. Can you imagine if she got the ring instead of the earrings?  She and I would have leveled Paris before Hawkmoth even started sending out Akumas!”
Tikki had already gotten Marinette’s phone out of her purse. “Hush, Plagg! I already agreed with you.  Let’s just get this done.  Who are we texting, and what do we want the messages to say?”
Plagg grinned.
***
Marinette still hadn’t come back from the nurse’s office.  Adrien could feel the emptiness of the seat behind him.  It was not helping him calm down.  
Physically, he was present in Miss Bustier’s classroom that day, but mentally he was gone.  Luckily, there was no lecture.
For the rest of the morning, his brain was flooded with panicked thoughts.  “Ladybug knows who I am.  She knows I’m Chat Noir, and I know that she’s Marinette...and Marinette is Ladybug...and I like Marinette and I like Ladybug.  So, I like both?  No, I only like one girl.  THANK GOD.  But...I left her in the nurse’s office all by herself.  She isn’t back yet...OHMYGOD.  What if something is ACTUALLY wrong?  I left her there, and now she’s dying...no, that’s stupid, Agreste.  She’s fine...but what if she’s not?  That means that I abandoned her in her time of need.  Now she’ll never love me, but wait...no, she already told me that she loved me…”
“She already told me that she loved me,” he whispered to himself.
“And he’s back!  Bro, we thought we lost you!”  Nino exclaimed.
“What did you say, sunshine?”  Alya asked.
Adrien’s eyes locked with Alya’s.  “Marinette told me that she loved me.”
“Yes, she did,” Alya responded while nodding her head, “and that’s just hitting you now?”
“Does...does Marinette like me?”
“I thought that was already established.”
A lovesick smile spread across Adrien’s face. “She likes me.”
“Ladybug likes me,” he thought.
“No, she loves you.  The girl is positively head over heels about you.”
“OHMYGOD! LADYBUG LOVES ME!” his mind screamed.
His brain started to shut down again.  Yes, he had heard Marinette say it earlier, but it was finally hitting him that the girl of his dreams was actually in love with him.  He could feel hot tears prickling the corners of his eyes.  He sniffled, and the tears threatened to fall.  He was at a loss for words.
“Bro,” Nino said putting a hand on his shoulder, “Are you okay?”
Adrien choked back a sob, “I...I’m so happy.  I love her so much.  This is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me!  I need a minute...I’ll be fine!”
He took a moment to compose himself.  Words couldn’t begin to describe how blissfully happy he was.  He didn’t know it was possible to fall even more in love with a person, but he was proven wrong.
The world instantly looked brighter.  Ladybug had always been a light in his life.  However, now that he knew that Marinette was also his lady, it was like having his own personal star, and she was at the center of his universe.  He was ready to be with her, but first, he needed to figure out a way to see her again...soon.
“Adrien,” Alya began, “This is a pretty long moment.  Are you okay?  We can’t have two friends wind up going to the nurse.”
His response came quickly.  “I’m fine, but I need to get into that nurse’s office after class.”
“Why?” Alya questioned.
He smirked, “I’m going to ask out Marinette.”
“That’s awesome, dude!” Nino laughed.
Adrien and Nino miraculously finished their assignment before the end of class.  Finally, it was lunchtime, and Adrien desperately needed to talk to Marinette.  
As both boys stood up to hand in their work, Adrien’s phone buzzed.  He opened his device and looked at the name on his screen.  His heart started beating faster.
Marinette- Hey, you! :)
Adrien typed four different responses before hitting send.
Adrien- Hi!  Are you feeling any better?
He anxiously waited for a response.
Marinette- I’m fine. My head was hurting, so the nurse let me lay down.
Adrien- I’m just happy you’re ok
“What’s up, buttercup?”  Alya asked, “Is it Marinette?”
“Yeah, she texted me.  She told me that she’s alright and that she fell asleep in the nurse’s office,” he explained while looking at the message on her phone.
Alya looked relieved. “So that’s why she didn’t come back?”
“I guess so,” he shrugged.
Adrien’s phone buzzed again.
Marinette- Could you do me a favor?
He smiled.
Adrien- Anything for you, Princess.  <3
Marinette- Could you bring my backpack down to the nurse’s office?  I left it by my seat.
Adrien spotted her belongings and slung her bag over his shoulder.  As he did so, another message was delivered to his phone.
Marinette- I only want you to come down with my stuff. ;)
He almost dropped the phone.  Adrien could feel the heat of a blush creeping up his neck and face.  Alya and Nino noticed Adrien’s reaction and exchanged worried glances.
“Adrien, dude, what did she say to you?”  Nino asked putting a hand on his shoulder.
Alya looked at the phone screen and laughed.  “Alone, huh?  I can respect that.  My girl is on fire today.  I still think she hit her head or something, but I guess I can trust you to check up on her for me.  Looks like you got your chance to ask her out, loverboy.
Adrien still didn’t respond.  He stood shellshocked.  Ladybug wanted to see him, and she probably wanted to talk to him.  He knew this was his chance to tell her how he felt, so he stood up straight and reminded himself that he was Chat Noir.  He could do this.  She was his partner...his beautiful, amazing partner.
“Is this going to be a regular occurrence from now on?  Like, are you going to melt on the spot every time she says something to you?  You guys are going to be one of those couples, aren’t you?”  Nino remarked rolling his eyes.
Alya elbowed him.  “Shhhhh!  It’s adorable.  Do you know how long I’ve waited for this moment?  Do not mess up my ship.”
Instead of responding to Nino’s questions, Adrien shrugged and said, “If you guys don’t mind, I’m just going to go see Marinette now.”
“Alright, sunshine.  We’ll see you after lunch.  Tell Marinette she needs to call me later.”  Alya finished her command with a wink.  She then proceeded to take Nino’s hand and drag him out of the classroom.
Moments later, Adrien left the room and started walking towards the nurse’s office.  On the way there, he had a strange mix of nervousness and excitement brewing inside of him.  It felt like an internal thunderstorm.  However, both of those feelings were quickly overpowered by the sheer adoration he felt as he thought about Marinette.  He quickened his pace.  He couldn’t wait to see her again.
Once he arrived, he slowly opened the door, and the nurse greeted him with a smile.  “Hello, young man!  What brings you here today?  Are you feeling well?”
“Oh, yes, ma’am.  I feel fine.  I’m actually here to bring Marinette her things,” Adrien explained politely.
The nurse nodded, “Wonderful.  What a gentleman!  The poor thing must have been feeling awful.  She fell asleep two hours ago, and she hasn’t woken up since.”
“Wait, she’s not awake?”
“No, she’s out like a light.  I was about to go wake her up.  I’ve already called her parents and told them to keep her home for the rest of the day.  They’re expecting her soon.  She’s right over there.”  The nurse pointed to the curtain and walked back to her desk.
Adrien pulled back the curtain and revealed a still very much asleep Marinette.  He looked at his phone to double check that the messages he received were actually from her.
“Perhaps she woke up for a few minutes and then fell back asleep?” Adrien thought.
Plagg then zoomed into view causing Adrien to glare at the tiny being.  Tikki joined him shortly after.  Upon seeing the two of them together, everything became much clearer.
“Or it was the Kwamis.”
Adrien looked at the magical duo.  “Now, before I begin, I’m guessing you’re Tikki?  Ladybug has told me quite a bit about you.”
The red Kwami giggled.  “Yes, I’m Tikki.  It’s nice to meet you, Adrien!”
Adrien smiled, but his expression quickly shifted to concern when he looked at Marinette on the bed.  “Okay, I just need to ask...is she okay?”
Tikki flew over to Adrien and hugged his cheek.  “You’re so sweet!  No wonder she fell in love with you.  She’s fine.  Marinette had a headache and she’s resting now.  You can wake her up.  I know she’ll be thrilled to see you.”
Adrien was flooded with relief.  “Thanks, Tikki.  However, before we let her join our conversation, I need to ask...who texted me?”
Tikki looked guilty and Plagg grinned.  “That’d be me, kid.  Tikki unlocked the phone, but those messages were all me.”
Adrien shot his Kwami an annoyed look.  “Okay, two things.  One...why are you not in my bag?  What if there was an emergency?”
“Kid, trust me.  Coming down here was an emergency.  You needed help that only we could provide.”
“Okay, we will have words about that later...and two...does this mean that I’ve been flirting with you for the past 15 minutes?  You don’t think the winking face was a little much?”
“It had to be believable.  Look, you should be grateful.  I got you some alone time to sort things out with your girlfriend.”
Plagg had called Marinette his girlfriend a few times in the past, so out of habit, Adrien responded by saying, “She’s not my girlfriend.”
Plagg’s grin widened, “Yet.”
Adrien’s expression softened into a lovesick smile.  “Yet,” he repeated in his mind, “She’s not my girlfriend...yet.”
“And there’s the face.  Don’t get all mushy yet,” Plagg said rolling his eyes, “You still need to get your ‘Princess’ home.”
Adrien’s eyes fell on Marinette.  Her arms were cradling her head and tendrils of hair had fallen into her face.  She breathed softly and steadily.  Seeing her under the fluorescent glow of the lights made his heart swell with affection.  At that moment, he knew that he would love her no matter the circumstances.  She was his everything, and he was never going to take her for granted.  If she agreed to be with him, he would do his best to always make her feel loved.
“She still needs to say yes to being with me,” Adrien whispered.
“Well, you’re never going to find out by standing there!” Plagg exclaimed, “Go wake her up.  Talk to her.  Be everything she needs you to be.”
Adrien knelt next to the bed and gently moved the hair out of Marinette’s face.  He rubbed her arm until her eyes fluttered open and locked with his.  She awoke with a smile.
“Good morning, Sleeping Beauty.  Did you have a good nap?” Adrien cooed in her ear.
Marinette blinked the sleep away from her eyes.  “My Prince Charming came back.”
“My lady, I will always come back for you.”
“So you figured it out?”
“You didn’t exactly make it hard,” Adrien laughed, “That was some show you put on.”
Marinette sat up and stretched, “Yeah, I was dying on the inside the entire time, but it’s okay.  Talking to you is much easier now.”
Adrien gave her a sympathetic look and reached for her hand.  “If it’s not too much to ask, what made it hard before?”
Marinette swallowed and maintained eye contact.  “I think...I was afraid that if I ever told you how I felt, you would disappear from my life.  I don’t know if I could have handled that.”
He squeezed her hand reassuringly, leaned over, and lovingly kissed her on the forehead.  This caused Marinette to giggle and blush.  He placed one of his hands on her cheek and she leaned into his touch.
“Marinette, I would have never cut you out of my life.  I’ve always admired you both in and out of the mask.  And to top it all off, you told me that you love me.  I would be crazy to throw something like that away.  I’m never going to leave you.  I’m here to stay.  I love you so much.”
“You do?”  Marinette had tears in her eyes.
“Yes, I do,” he stood up and pulled her to her feet, “Marinette Dupain-Cheng, I am deeply and madly in love with you, and it would make me the happiest cat on the planet if you would do me the honor of being my girlfriend.”
Marinette laughed, “Always so gallant, Chaton.  Yes, I would love to be your girlfriend.”
Adrien beamed and pulled her into a tight hug.  She pressed her cheek into his chest, and he nuzzled the top of her head.  
He eventually pulled away and took her hands in his own.  “Now, we are still at school, I’m sure that lovely nurse would like us to leave, and your parents are expecting you to be back any minute now.  Would it be okay if I walked you home, Princess?”
Marinette scrunched her nose and giggled again.  “Lead the way, kitty.”

Conversation
Quotes from Mary Poppins
So I was in Mary Poppins this summer and it was the best show I've ever done, it was also one of the funniest backstage experiences I've ever had so here's some quotes from rehearsals :)
I'm referring to everyone by their character names except if they're my friends yeet
My friend Miranda, staring me dead in the eyes: “Cannibalism."
Both of us simultaneously: "hmmmm”
Miranda, frantically: “Do you want some.... boNeLesS AiR”
(She then proceeded to research if boneless air was a thing for like ten minutes)
Me, angrily: “buT wE hAvEnt had our mILK”
Honestly idk who this was: “What is in your boob?”
(Context: we were all volunteering at a meat raffle, which I didn't know was a thing before then but ok)
The guy in charge of the raffle: “If you’re selling tickets, stand up”
*everyone simultaneously drops to the floor*
Guy running the raffle: “Hors d’oeuvres is not a person”
The same guy, a half hour later: “I’m not trusting you, because you said hors d’oeuvres were a country”
The radio:“I’m looking for some way to bond with my kids” Miranda, whispering: “Mr. Banks?”
My friend Anthony:“That’s like the worst way to reduce reuse recycle”
Miranda during rehearsal for Step in Time, pretending to be on Disney Channel:“Hi, I’m a low class citizen, and the only time I see the light of day is at night”
Anthony, sinisterly:“We’re all dead bodies in the end”
Anthony, in the car: “Smells like... g g g g g g g g g g ggrravy”
Miranda:“buT THEY TORE MY spinal cord.... aGAIN!?!?!”
Anthony, walking out of rehearsal:“It smells like a hot dog out here”
Me:“mE”
Anthony, incredulous:“you smell like a hotdog?!?”
Also Anthony:“My uvula is quook”
My friend Maddie, who we all call Marcy bc that was her "character" for the show and it stuck:“Why do you guys know what windex smells like??? Hello???”
Miss Andrew: “You don’t smell windex? What’s wrong with you???”
Anthony, in the car, shouting:“sTEP AWAY FROM THE GOODS”
Anthony, discussing Into the Woods:“I feel like Little Red is sort of like Smeagol”
Me: “There’s a whole family standing in the middle of the road??”
Anthony:“Are they ok?” Me:"They’re not even crossing, they’re just chilling.”
Anthony to me, while in the fake plant section at the craft store: “It’s like you’re trying to get into leaf Narnia”
Miranda to me: “You look like the Kool Aid Man”
Anthony, to me:“Go onto stage like ‘OoOh yEaH”
Anthony, to the tune of one of he songs:“Reeeedd Robin, Yum!”
Miranda, dramatically crossing her legs:“I’m a fucking queen” *mouth pops*
Miranda calling after me on my way out the door:“Wait I’ve gotta tell you a secret “ *whispers in one ear* “the snack that smiles back” * in other ear* “goldfish”
Me, singing:“Someone is returning”
Miranda:“the demons in my house when I’m coming home”
Miranda, in a whisper:“Mary and Bert look like they’re gonna fight”
Anthony, in the car: “No one is alone.. that’s kinda scary”
Anthony:“When I was young, I ate people”
Miranda:“crispy”
Miranda, in the car after a long rehearsal, exhausted:“Can we play some tunes? I don’t want some hard tunes tho, I want gentle tunes”
I honestly don't know who this was, probably Anthony:“Why are you discriminating against whales?”
Miranda, with jazz hands:“Just a spoonful of... pizazz!”
Miranda, a few minutes later:“Just a spoonful of soot helps the depression go down”
Miranda:“What’s the month after January?”
Me, sister struggling:*counts on fingers* “October, November, December, January, feBRUARY”
Anthony,:“Doesn’t it smell like cat food? Oh no that’s McDonalds”
Anthony:“You smell like Cheerios.”
Me:“Thanks????”
Mary, standing by the roof set we had:“Bert, you look like a cat”
Bert, on the roof: “meow”
Marcy, working on her character:“I’m doing research... drug research “
Marcy, trying to explain her character to me:“Marcy Tippetome is a drug addict. But she’s addicted to Tylenol”
Bert:“Bloody hell”
Michael:“sTOP THERE ARE CHILDREN “
Bert:“well you’re the one who keeps pretending to shoot people on stage”
Anthony, singing:“Someone smells like celery!!!!”
Anthony, moments later:“So I was in my room and my body collapsed”
Miss Andrew:“In 20 years I’ll be like ‘hey, you owe me a soda kid’”
Michael:“I’ll be dead in 20 years”
Mr. Banks:“All hair is dead”
Miranda:*bad Italian accent* “would you like some rigatoni???”
Anthony:“Spit the alcohol out Marcy”
Miranda, ranting:“The government can leave. I only know... I don’t know English”
Miranda, reenacting the Sound of Music:“Donde es Maria??”
Miranda and Anthony:*speaking in simmish for ten minutes*
Bert:“I’m gonna hiss. Like a cat. Meow.”
Mary:“Bert, I’m done with you. Jump off the rooftop.”
Probably Anthony??? I don't know:“My name is Margaret, and I like cheese”
Me:“Michael who? I only know mILK”
Anthony:“Remember when I asked what century it was?”
Anthony:“There’s blood on my finger”
Miranda, deadpan:“blood is the cure”
Me:“There’s something in your pocket”
Anthony, nonchalantly:“it’s just a chair”
One of the statues:“Ohmigod who’s on your phone screen Anthony?”
Anthony:“I’m gay”
Anthony, staring into the distance:“Death is my cure”
Anthony, moments later:*valley girl accent* “I’m gonna die”
Miranda, disdainfully:“I never had emo phase. I didnt want to associate with tHAT”
Me to Anthony because he had to wear this frog costs and it was skintight: “Dicks out for Mary Poppins”
Anthony, giving Mrs Banks a hug:“Hi mom!”
Mrs. Banks, deadpan:“did I give you the permission to touch me?”
Anthony, after we went to Wendy's:“Oh my gosh there’s a spoon between my legs! I just wanted my phone and I reached down and then... there’s ice cream on my crotch”
Also Anthony:“I was exhaling really intensely the other day and my tongue started flopping around”
My little brother right before tech week:“Dress rehearsal?? More like stress rehearsal”
Anthony:“Marcy put the Tylenol DOWN!”
Miranda:“Noooo, she’s doing cocane”
(I swear we're good children I'm sorry)
The lady who played Queen Victoria, approaching Miranda:“Can you blow into my eye?”
An ensemble member:“Don’t choke me”
Mr. Banks:“I don’t even know you yet”
Miss Lark, handing someone her dog puppet:“Here, hold my bitch”
Literally all of my friends: *simultaneous “it’s poppin”*
Who knows, but now we all say it:“Rest IP”
Anthony, buying frozen yogurt at the mall between shows:“Is chocolate supposed to be crispy??”
Me, dying inside because I thought it would be a good idea to leave my show tights on while we went to the mall:“Oh No tHeReS SorBeT oN mY TigHtS!?!”
Ok backstory: we had this table for Spoonful of Sugar that is supposed to break and then magically repair itself. So it's motor powered, and so far it's been working great. Fun! So the last night of the show arrives. I accidentally sweep the guy playing Robertson Ay because he's on the floor, so we're already dying. Mary goes to fix the table, and it goes as planned, only to revert back to broken a moment later with a bang. I'm breaking character, and trying to keep singing, but I lose it bc out stage manager offstage, sounding completely dead inside, goes:“Well, there goes the table.”
????:“Why is it wet??” Anthony:“Because I salivate”
Michael, on his way out the door on closing night:“Keep it poppin”
(I cried)
Other notable moments:
This girl started crying about cows in the middle of rehearsal bc she loved them so much
The guy who played Mr. Banks did origami and he made me a dragon
The lady playing Mrs Andrew would regularly balance chairs on her chin
I had to pretend to rip a dolls arm off and the second night I actually ripped its arm off oops
One night I forgot to preset said doll, so it didn't have an arm for a full scene
We'd been joking about building a fort in the dressing room for a while so on the last day, we walked in to find Mrs Banks surrounded by chairs. "It's Fort Banks." She said. Someone had blankets in their car and suddenly there was an actual blanket fort in the dressing room
The girl who played the messenger would write letters to Mr Banks to read during the shows. One of them was about robbing a bank, I think??? She gave him her address and we're still waiting for a reply for the final letter
The flying equipment got caught on the lights one rehearsal and Bert almost died
We'd sing Feed the Birds for warm ups sometimes and I'd cry. every. time.
We were in the Disney store, and the Mary Poppins trailer starts playing as we’re buying Mary Poppins shirts, with Mary Poppins shirts already on

Ryden conspiracy theories/evidence/pls just be frens now...+ a short history of P!atd...(part 1)
DISCLAIMER I find all of this stuff on the internet so idk if it's yours just tell me and I will make sure you get credited anyways onwards...
Oh and another thing I don't hate Sarah. Sarah is a queen and Brendon and her are happy and I wouldn't want to ruin a happy couple cos that would be unfair anyhow oh and I also think it's important to have a bit of Panic! history that many people might not know about as it gives you an idea of the kind of time frame that im talking about also its intresting too.
And if u don't know what Ryden is (tbf idk why ur here but this will educate u) it's basically the ship name of Ryan Ross (ex guitarist and backing vocalist of panic!) and Brendon Urie (singer and last man standing)
Pre-Panic
Ryan Ross and Spencer Smith (ex-drummer of Panic!) have been friends even since they were little the photo below would prove this
Tumblr media
They're so adorable 😊😊
In 9th grade they decide that they want to start up a band btw for reference Ryan and Spencer at that time attend (Bishop Gorman high school) and they invite Brent Wilson from Palo Verde high school to come and try out for bass along with another guy called Trevor they formed a band called Pet Salamnder this was when they were around 16 ish (They acctually still have a website for the band and you can go check it out if you want)
There some of the pics on the website but check out their bios as well because they made me laugh....
Here are some of their pics tho
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spencer and Ryan and the whole band together (Ryan😂😂)
Anyways don't really know what happened to Pet Salamander but in short they kind of lost Trevor (don't know correct me if im wrong but I think Trevor was the guitarist in the way things worked out it would make sense and I think there was another band they created in between these 2 bands but idk its not important) The band now needed a new guitarist. Brent who went to the same high school as Brendon told him he should audition for their band so Brendon did just that and became the guitarist. Orginally Ryan was meant to be the lead singer but Brendon then became the lead singer because they heard him do his singing and they though he was good. At the time especially Ryan and Brendon were having a hard time with their families and their education as they wanted to quit high school and as a result I think they both got kicked out of their houses . Brendon got a job at a smoothie shack to try and earn some money to pay for rent. He also would sing to people for tips. In other words they were hella broke.
Here is a screenshot from Ryan's livejournal (which he has now deleted) where Brendon would post underneath
Tumblr media
I love ya' baby! wednesday. practice. be there of be....GAY!!
Brendon 😂😂
Anyways Ryan and Brendon started creating the demos for their album and Ryan decided to send them to Pete Wentz who was in the LV area recording under the cork tree with FOB. Pete listened to the demos and signed them up to his new record label decaydance after hearing them perform 2/3 songs.
I'm gonna leave you with some 2004 recording sessions this is filmed on a potato but is somehow high quality content of Ryan doing a this is our apartment tour its great
undefined
youtube
So yeah that's cool and also hilarious in it's own ways (gay bars!! 😂😂)
AFYCSO era 2005/6
AFYCSO was released on the 27th September 2005 on that same day Ryan posted something in his livejournal (I'm not sure if it was just something to commemorate it being released or if he was acctually in a relationship at this time but here is what he put)
'Whisper babe...i'm as good as it gets in this town.whisper babe..i'm a fever you can't sweat out.These are my deepest thoughts and secrets under a microscope or spotlight.Forgive me if i'm not quite ready to give them to you.it's such a different feeling..when I see you smiling and singing back to me i'm still playing different pictures in my head that arn't so pleasent. I'm doing the best now to live in the song and not just the meaning.'
(Yes this could be about Brendon but when you read it again it dosen't sound like that at all it seems as if hes talking about the lyrics and the meanings of the songs of which have things he had to deal with in his childhood his dad being an alcoholic ect. But he tries to be happy with the fans who are smiling and singing and live in the moment not just the past)
Obviously AFYCSO became popular especially the song I write sins not tragedies came out but there's many different interviews and pic that i'm going to share below.
This is the one where Ryan says that Brendon washes his hair and he blushes red. It's adorable 😊
undefined
youtube
Here is another 2005 interview by the same girl who thought Pete was called Jason 😂 but anyways it's old like just look at Ryan's hair he's in his troll phase still 😂
undefined
youtube
This is another old interview that shows them acctually performing and only contain Brendon and Ryan talking about the band they're so awkward its adorable.
And here's a pic of them from a photoshoot
Tumblr media
Idk but Brent looks so confused rn 😂
(Look at Brendon as well staring at Ryan...hmm..😉)
And here's an adorable pic of them together my bbs 😊❤
Tumblr media
Look at them they're soo adorable ❤❤👌😊
Anyways 2006 is when it all became big for the boys who announced a tour and where becoming bigger than ever. At the end of 2005 to 2006 both Brendon and Ryan began dating scene queens Audrey and Jac. Pics below
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yup this is them together.
Idk when they breakup but they break up and some evidence that I've found online is very interesting.
Here is screenshots of chats that Audrey and Jac had online. The first picture shows that Jac is blaming Brendon for turning her bf (Ryan) gay
Tumblr media
The next one shows kinda the same thing exept this time Audrey blamed Ryan for turning Brendon gay
Tumblr media
Hmmmm... All very interesting I think....
(Note there's another conversation or so that I want to include in part one but it's way too long to put on this one post so i'm going to do a little post to finish off part 1. And also i'm obviously going to work on part 2 straight away but I just feel like the whole panic! and especially Ryden stuff needs to be updated abd i also find it super interesting as well. Also I feel I need to adress all the lyrics that could somehow lead to something to do with one another there's so much stuff out here and I need it all in one place cos im fed up of trawling the internet for all the theories and stuff never getting anywhere 😂)

Do you ever get a accounts that comments (or like/share etc) on your work that just makes you go ‘hmmmm’ if that makes sense?
I’ve just posted my first ever fic and this one account keeps commenting and it’s leaving me feeling uneasy, even though they haven’t said anything overly negative it’s just a flat comment if that makes sense?
I dunno if I’m paranoid or not but I’m just feeling negative energy flowing for the account
This got long as I don't know what so it's going under a keep reading
I don't really recall having one. The only one that's really sticking out to me- that's probably not even the same as what you're asking- but there's this one that new as of 3 months ago that went through one of my series and commented. At first, I was excited- someone was actually interacting with a fic when I was at the time considering stepping back from writing once more. But then I went and looked at their comments it was a lil disheartening. The first couple comments were nice- complimenting certain parts or just overall saying they liked it. The further along they got into the story, the comments started to get worse. Why did I take the story the way I did, why didn't I have this happen instead of that- things like that. It became a chore at that point to respond to the comments (i try to respond to every comment I get) and then they started to send me asks once they reached the end of what I had updated. I was still in the planning phase for the next part, and they kept sending me asks or even commenting on the last part until I answered them. They were basically telling me what needed to happen next- and it was starting to get on my nerves. But I didn't want to block them because they did seem to genuinely be interested in the story and I didn't want to take that away from them just because I didn't like their comments. But they still bugged me because where I had the next part planned out, their comments were in the back of my head bugging with the fact that if I wrote it the way I planned, someone wouldn't like it and I'd have to deal with those comments once more. So, I changed it. I incorporated what they wanted into the story, and they loved it. Me? Not so much. To this day I still regret doing that because it wasn't what I wanted, and it derailed me from updating that particular story for some time and it still affects me today because I haven't been able to work on that story without thinking of their comments. When I did decide to update that story, they had gone silent- and a part of me was worried that something had happened because they hadn't interacted with anyone for some time- their blog practically dead so I worried. And then they started to comment again, and they weren't as bad as before- but they were still nitpicking, and it bugged. They sent an ask asking when I was going to update that story and how was I going to end it. I answered it vaguely but that ask pushed me to make the decision to no longer answer when I was going to update my stories. I don't know what it would be called but looking back, their comments/asks were condescending? They'd tell me what they liked/ wanted to happen and then send another saying whatever I did was fine, and they couldn't wait to read it.
That was probably no help but if your feelings are telling you something about the accounter commenting- believe it. Don't do what I did. We writers are doing this for free- taking the time out of our lives to write. We don't have to share them with others. They're not entitled to our works. Especially being a new writer, these types of comments can change how you write and why you write. Even if they're not saying anything negative- if they're comments are making you feel like something's wrong- block them. It can be drastic- but you should trust your feelings. Your blog is your space for you to do what makes you comfortable and feel safe. You need to do whatever you need to curate your blog and safe space. Writing shouldn't be stressful (though I for one know that it is) and if their comments are stressing you even the littlest bit, you need to do whatever you think is right. It comes down to that- if your uncomfortable with their comments- block them.
I hope this helps love!
