Kate sweared that she had never wanted to be in any other place other than this one more than at the moment — well, except for when the security caught her destroying an old bell tower. This moment, though, is a mighty rival.

She’d rather face her mother’s wrath 100 more times than be at the stupid gala. Where she only got a second’s break, like this, before she had to make small talk with rich snobs again.

“Excuse me—?”

“Sorry, I’m not a waitress,” Kate mumbled, shrinking into herself like a shell. She didn’t even look at the person at first, because she’d been mistaken as a waitress too many times tonight. But, when she did turn her head, she found someone that looked like she should know them but she couldn’t place them.

“Oh, aren’t you the little Bishop girl? I didn’t recognize you!” The man said. Once his voice sunk in, Kate recognized him. Armand the III.

“Yep,” she answered, barely able to refrain from snarling. Is that really all she was to this people? A child who shared her dead father’s surname?

“You used to come to my brunches!” The old man proclaimed, realizing dawning on him.

Kate nodded in confirmation. God how she hated those brunches. Fancy food that had fancy names and too many people sitting at the table to count. No one ever spoke to her yet they all expected her to attend with a smile.

Her gaze travelled back to the wall she had been staring at, but she caught sight of something far more interesting: her mother and her mother’s boyfriend looking like they were having the time of their lives, laughing together.

“That suit is great, dear. However I do hope that you wear something more ladylike for the wedding — otherwise you and I would match!” Armand’s voice came yet again, this time accompanied with his hearty laughter.

Kate’s eyebrows drew together and she turned to him. “Wedding?” She asked cluelessly. God, which one of these people were going to throw an over-the-top, expensive wedding?

Armand jutted his chin at the direction of Kate’s mother and Jack. “Your mother’s, of course!” He said.

Kate took an imaginary sucker punch to the gut when she looked back and saw the ring flashing on her mother’s hand. She had seen it earlier but hadn’t payed it too much mind — for how was she supposed to know what an engagement ring looked like? She had never been engaged before! But . . . Her mother was getting married? And didn’t tell her?

The look on her face must’ve conveyed her thoughts due to Armand’s next words. “Ah, looks like you need to have a talk with your mother . . . Well, just before you do—Y/N! Katherine, you remember Y/N, right? Her grandfather and I go way back.”

Kate blinked when she heard that name, the memories washing over her like a wave. She recalled running around her grandfather’s mansion-sized house when all the adults were at dinner, giggling and playing hide and seek where they weren’t supposed to. They had been childhood best friends and always stuck by each other — especially because the other kids their age that they knew developed the classic mean girls attitude with their money.

She wasn’t quite sure she had expected to see when she looked over, but she hadn’t prepared for this. Y/N was stunning and Kate’s jaw physically dropped (only for a split second until her cheeks reddened when she realized).

“Kate!” Y/N’s warm yet eccentric voice filled the air, making the archer forget her woes with her mother. That was one of the reasons that Kate had liked her so much as a friend when they were younger — Y/N was genuinely excited to see you, and it showed when she hadn’t spoken or seen Kate in years.

“Y/N,” Kate said, and hoped her attempt to hide her surprise had succeeded.

Within seconds, Y/N’s arms were wrapped around Kate and her honey-scented perfume sent the brunette into heaven. Kate found herself melting into her former friend’s arms and couldn’t help but not want Y/N to stop hugging her. Her embrace was so comforting and just what she needed after the hectics that consumed her life lately. (Plus, Kate had to admit that having a pretty girl’s arms around her sent butterflies to her stomach).

“Well, I’ll leave you two to catch up,” Armand excused himself before he slipped away, disappearing into the sea of gems and jewels.

“How have you been, Kate?” Y/N asked, her eyes lit up with a big smile.

A wave of refreshment fell over Kate. It felt so calming and even validating to talk to someone who you could tell was genuinely interested in hearing your answer. “I’m good! Attending uni and . . .” She started to say, but couldn’t keep her eyes from wandering back to her mother and her new fiancé. There was a pregnant pause before she remembered that she was in the middle of a sentence. “—I’m, I’m sorry. I’m just distracted. Armand just told me that my mother is engaged and I-I didn’t know.”

Y/N’s eyes widened. “Oh my god,” she said, sounding just as shocked as Kate felt. “I’m so sorry! You don’t deserve that. Do you want to maybe step outside and take a breather for a second?”

Kate thought for a moment. Would her mom be mad at her for leaving? Yeah. Did she care? Not really. She smiled and nodded and Y/N matched her grin, linking their arms together. Kate didn’t ignore the way those butterflies now pecked at the walls of her stomach from the touch, and she wasn’t sure she wanted to.

The moment they got outside and the doors to the main room closed, Kate let out a breath of relief. The cold tingled on her arms, giving her goosebumps, but she didn’t mind because alongside the cold came the calm. No more could she hear what felt like a million people talking and clinking their drinks. She wasn’t surrounded by a crowd, only with one person.

They walked silently. Kate was grateful that Y/N seemed to recognize that she needed time to be in her thoughts. They did a lap through the hallways before nearing back to the main room, where they could hear beautiful classical music, slightly muffled through the large doors.

“Do you think people are dancing in there?” Y/N asked quietly, mindful to not be too loud with the walls causing her to echo.

Kate looked at the doors and imagined her mother and Jack dancing. She shrugged.

With one glance at her friend, Y/N could tell that she wasn’t ready to go back inside. She quickly thought up a plan and unliked their arms. “Hey,” she said, smiling. “Do you want to, like, do the waltz out here?”

Kate looked at her, appreciating her eagerness but still hesitant. “I can’t dance,” she admitted through a chuckle, remembering the last time she tried to dance and how she stumbled over her own two feet.

Y/N shrugged nonchalantly. “I can’t either,” she said.

Kate thought and then decided, why not? What was the harm? She got into position like how she had seen people do in the movies. Y/N’s smile grew (if that was even possible) and seeing her smile just made Kate smile. It was contagious! She took got into position and let Kate lead.

They waited for the beat to come again in the song and then started their waltz. They were uncoordinated, going different ways, but they maintained smiles all throughout. Kate rushed out an apology when she accidentally stepped on Y/N’s feet, but was happily surprised when Y/N just laughed.

They fell into their own rhythm — definitely not on beat but that didn’t matter. Soon, their steps synced up and got quicker, and they matched each other perfectly. Kate and Y/N got lost in their dance, in each other. Someone could walk by and they probably wouldn’t notice.

It was only when Kate twirled Y/N and the latter stumbled that their daze broke. The brunette gasped and caught her, and they both got lost in each other’s eyes for a few seconds. Kate noticed that Y/N’s were as captivating and alluring as the deep water in the sea.

“You alright?” Kate asked, suddenly feeling more confident. Like she could do anything.

Y/N smirked and gave a small nod. “Nice catch, Bish—”

She was cut off by a sudden loud smashing sound and the floor physically shaking. Kate quickly but gently got Y/N to their feet and Y/N latched her arms to Kate’s in fear.

After a moment, the floor stopped shaking, but they were still both on high alert.

“What was that?” Y/N asked, looking around. Kate did the same.

“I don’t—” she said, before being interrupted by what sounded like shouting. “—know.”

Kate took a second to close her eyes and remember her way around this place. She considered visualizing the crayon map she had sloppily drawn as a kid to navigate, but that was useless. Her memory, combined with her use of determine where she was hearing these sounds, helped her form a path and, without a second thought, she set off for it. Y/N was close behind her, not wanting her to go alone.

They found a staircase and quickly and carefully pattered down if. Kate pushed open a door and both their eyes widened as they took in the sight. Masked men were all over the place, yelling to each other, and there was a large hole in the wall. Meanwhile, other people — people who had been attending the gala — were mostly on the floor, recovering in confusion.

Y/N’s grip on Kate’s arm suddenly tightened. “Oh my god,” she gasped. “There’s Armand and Jack!”

Kate’s eyes followed to where she was pointing and sure enough, she found the men. Her eyebrows crinkled in confusion — what were they doing here? But she didn’t have much time to dwell on it.

“I can help them,” she declared, turning to Y/N, who looked frightened beyond belief.

Y/N shakily nodded and, somehow able to think quickly, shrugged off the shall she had been wearing. She spotted a piece of broken glass on the ground and grabbed it, using it to cut two eye-holes in her shall. She then motioned for Kate to turn around and tied it around her head, tight enough so it wouldn’t fall off but loose enough so Kate could still see and breathe.

Kate murmured a thank you which she was sure Y/N didn’t hear and jumped into a fight.

Y/N found herself captivated by her friend’s moves, unable to stop watching how she kicked and hit and spun and jumped with ease, taking down every attacker she came into contact with.

It was only when a strong pair of arms grabbed her did her gaze break away from Kate. At first, she struggled, but stopped when she realized that she wasn’t being attacked. The person firmly, but also gently, moved her to the side and when Y/N looked back, she saw that that person had been none other than Hawkeye.

He swiftly entered the fight. “Get out of here!” He yelled to Kate as he took over. For a second, she froze at seeing her childhood hero, but responded when she heard Y/N calling her name. She turned around and ran, taking Y/N’s hand and pulling it along with her.

Neither of them knew where they were going or what they were going to do, but at least they were together.

Shawty playin’ with the devil, cause she falling for the demon 🖤

Did I send in an ask already? I’m so scattered lol. I’d love to know 25 and 27 for the end of year asks ❤️

Hey Cav! No, not for this set of asks. Also sameee my brain is scrambled eggs.

Anyway. So. 25 is a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read, and 27 is favorite fanfic author of the year.

I have two answers to BOTH those questions. First, I just basically declared my love for LQT and the giftfic they wrote me for WOD. My flailing can be read here.

But—that said, there are SO many more fics but SO many incredible writers that I simply must include them on this list. So I'm going to cheat and list as many as my scrambled-egg brain can think of 😂

@softlystarstruck's kinktober was magnificent, and a masterclass in tender smut.

@academicdisaster24's "like the sun came out" is splendid, decadent fluff and softness.

@nv-md's "Just Stay" left me completely speechless with its beauty and exquisite pining.

@calypsotempete's "Lay Your Weapons Down, Baby" is completely riveting and artfully done.

@rockingrobin69 wrote TWO collections of short stories: one based on the 7 deadly sins and one based on the planets in our solar system. She is a creative genius and these—like everything else she writes—are just delightful.

@written-in-ash is an angst monster and I wouldn't have her any other way. She also wrote "Tender is the Night," and make sure to mind the tags because it's intense but incredibly well done and one of my favorite fics of hers.

@the-starryknight's Of Mirrors, Myths and Men is incredibly creative and has a delicious, tension-filled dynamic that left me reeling.

@vukovich's "It'll Come Back" is just one example of why Vuk is one of the most innovative writers I've read. Vuk can write anything and is one of those writers whose work I'd read pretty much regardless of content because I know it'll be worth it. (mind the tags!)

@m0srael's "Flight Patterns" is the Flight Attendant!Draco fic you never knew you needed.

And you, Cav! I wrote this ask after reading your "Windy City" and even if I wasn't a hopeful journalist who might want to live in Chicago, I would say that this was extremely vivid, rich and sharp. The descriptions and Harry's characterization really shine here, and this is some incredible work.

There are so many more, by so many wonderful writers whose names and fics have currently slipped my mind, but this year has been full of amazing work and I'm so happy to be sharing this time in fandom with everyone <3

Send me writing asks! I've already done and/or been requested: 1, 2, 3, 7, 12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25, 27 and 30
