#sorry if my writing is bad i think i got over excited ahahaha

[ughgoaway]

have you ever thought about a time when Girlie is with Annie and Matty bathing the dog and it's a warm family atmosphere? and maybe then go to the park and play as a family.

Thank you so much for the cute idea 🪐 anon!! my random thoughts below the cut as always lol <3

✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿

anyway, yes, this is so fun to think about. I love anything with mayhem, and the image of you all trying to tackle him into the bath to give him a proper wash is so funny.

I can see Matty, mayhem, and Annie coming home from a walk, and to say they are muddy is an understatement. He calls you as they're approaching the house and tells you to prepare the bath; warning you that is officially time to bathe mayhem.

You try to avoid washing him at home as much as possible, sending him off to the groomers whenever you can. Not because you don't love him, but because he is fucking massive and it's somehow a three-man job. 

Getting Annie involved was the last solution after too many disastrous attempts, but you needed an extra pair of hands. And she was the only one in the house. But Mayhem loves her so much, so she's actually a pretty good distraction. 

You line the walk to the bathroom with towels and creek open the front door slowly, and your jaw drops at the sight in front of you. Mayhem is caked in mud, staring up at you with his tongue hanging out and his tail wagging wildy, splashing more mud around.

Matty and Annie were both wearing welly boots, and they were also covered in mud. Annie even had some in her hair, but those two could be dealt with later. Mayhem was your current mission.

“Oh my god. Matthew, how did it get this bad?” You ask in shock, flicking your wide eyes over the three of them.

“It's not my fault. I swear. Mayhem got out of his harness and ran into a muddy puddle. Me and Annie ran after him, but the puddle turned out to be a bit deeper than we thought…” Matty says sheepishly, rubbing at the back of his neck with his hands, but quickly snatching them away with a grossed-out look on his face when he feels the mud in his hair.

You sigh heavily at Matty and start gently guiding mayhem in the house as Annie holds his tail to stop him from wagging it and spraying mud everywhere.

Eventually, you get Mayhem safely in the bathroom after walking very slowly the whole time. You all know from past experience that if you walk too quickly, mayhem takes it as a queue to sprint at full force through the house and rub his face on the rug in the front room. 

You really tried to get the mud out last time, but it was a pointless task. Matty still claims you somehow planned it because you hated that rug. “How else did he get so muddy when it hadn't rained in weeks?” he accuses you time after time.

You deny it wholeheartedly, but you can't deny the feeling of joy you felt when you saw mayhem rubbing his whole body over it, and let's just say you definitely didn't do anything to stop it.

But you actually like the new rug you bought, so when you finally got mayhem in the bathroom this time, the three of you couldn't help but cheer as soon as the door clicked shut.

However, you forgot that any sort of excitement would hype mayhem up to no end, so as soon as he heard the cheers, he jumped on his hind legs and pounced onto Matty.

“Woah mayhem- WAIT NO-” Matty shouts.

Now, usually, Matty caught him quite well, keeping mayhem upright and balancing him perfectly on his chest. But this time, he wasn't prepared, and before you knew it, all you saw was a massive splash of water coming out of the bath as mayhem pushed both him and Matty in it.

You and Annie stood there in shock for a few seconds, but as soon as Matty sat up in the bath, covered in mud and bubbled. You all couldn't help but burst out laughing. Matty pouted, of course, but he soon realised that this kind of was the ideal way to wash mayhem. He could keep him calm as you and Annie scrubbed him.

“Right, Annie, will you grab the peanut butter for me, sweetheart? Your dad is on mayhem feeding duty today” you say, lathering up the soap between your hands as Matty uses a bowel to wet mayhem.

“Here you go, Daddy. Don't eat the peanut butter, though, mayhem licks from this one” Annie warns, holding the jar just out of Matty’s reach until he nods at her words. After she knows he heard her, she quite happily hands it over, grabbing the bowl from Matty’s hands and rinsing mayhem once more.

The four of you are all huddled either in or around the bath, scrubbing mayhem and watching the mud pour off him. Matty sits in front of him, holding the peanut butter jar in front of his face so he can happily lick inside the jar whilst you clean his paws.

“Daddy you look silly in the bath with Mayhem.” Annie giggles as she scrubs Mayhem’s head, giving him a mohawk with the bubbles that form. 

“I know, i know. Will you go grab my camera for me, sweet girl? I wanna get a photo of us all” matty asks, smiling down at mayhem with too much love in his eyes, considering mayhem had bowled him over not even 10 minutes earlier.

Annie scampers off and grabs the camera, leaving you and Matty alone in the bathroom. 

“You do look quite stupid in the bath, you know?” You tease, grinning down at Matty and watching him roll his eyes and hold in a laugh.

“Quite dilfy too, though” you add on thoughtfully, looking at how Matty’s soaking white shirt was starting to become completely transparent, and you couldn't help but gawk at the way his tattoos became more visible beneath the wet fabric. Matty pulls his shirt off cheekily, dropping it on the floor next to him before teasing you back.

“Mmm, I always look dilfy. S’how I got you, anyway” Matty gives you a smug smile, and you can't help but kiss it off his face, humming happily as you feel his lips working against yours. 

You both get a bit lost in the kiss, and soon it becomes a little desperate and breathless, all tongues and teeth as poor mayhem has to stand there are witness it all. But it soon enough gets interrupted by Annie walking in, and very eloquently proclaiming “ewwww!!”

You and Matty both laugh against each other's lips, and you feel a bit dizzy when you pull away, having to blink a few times before you bring yourself back to earth. 

You quickly snap a few shots with Matty's Polaroid camera; a selfie of you all, and a picture of annie grinning next to mayhem with his bubble mohawk. But, you get a particularly cute one of Matty and mayhem and you can't help but sneak that one away for yourself.

(ik this is not actually mayhem in this picture… but let's all use our imaginations <3)

You eventually get him all washed up and wrangle him out of the bath onto a towel. however, as soon as things are slightly too quiet and still, you can see the mischief brewing in mayhems eyes.

“Mayhem… no. don't even think about it” but he is a dog after all, so he ignores you completely. And soon enough, he's shaking every single drop of water off his body and onto the three of you.

The only thing that's heard in the bathroom is all of your screams, Annie runs behind the bathroom cabinet in an attempt to hide from the spray, but alas, there is no escape.

After far too many seconds for your liking, he stops shaking. And is looking at Matty with his mouth open in a smile and with a wagging tail.

“You're so lucky you're so cute, mate,” Matty sighs.

“Bloody horse dog,” you mumble under your breath, looking in the mirror at your now dripping wet hair.

Annie simply giggles, grinning as she bends down to give mayhem a hug and squealing when he starts to lick her face. you forgive mayhem pretty quickly after that, blowdrying him, yourself, matty, and annie in a row and snapping another picture of you all.

Now, as for going to the park after, I think you try to avoid it for a few days, trying to keep him clean as long as possible. But before the week is over, all four of you are running around in the mud together like crazy people, and you don't even think about the carnage this is all gonna cause.

#made it within the day with 30 mins to spare #last minute is my fav thing can you tell #anyway I LOVE THIS IDEA #sorry if my writing is bad i think i got over excited ahahaha #🪐 anon #anon! #teacher au!

Hi!! I saw your requests were open, so uh could I request an Ikevamp headcanon for Arthur, Theo, Vincent and Isaac reacting an MC who is super energetic. Like, as in she could literally dance around the mansion without having a care in the world? ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Yeah lol pls feel free to take your time with this request and have a nice day!! ༼ つ ◕◡◕ ༽つ

This is cute 😳😳

This ended up being wayyy longer than i thought it would be. Arthur's part went deeper than i thought it would be-

This is probably one of my longest headcanon/scenario, i hope you enjoy 😌

.

.

Lets say for context, MC is sweeping through the hall while humming, and as time went by her humming becomes louder. Eventually she straights up start singing while twirling and dancing around

Arthur

The first encounter with this trait of MC kind of surprised him. He wasn't expecting young lady to be this active and bright

Gets along very well with her actually

He doesn't mind her energetic personality, but sometimes in gets in the way when he is working on his stories.

He doesn't see her as "annoying" like what most people woukd describe her

He just thinks that she has so many things in her mind (in a good way) that she expresses them all at once //my mans pulling off a doctor doyle 😳

Arthur was in his room, trying to concentrate on his writing when he heard MC singing loudly outside

"I dare say, she is one active lady." Arthur said to himself as he exhaled.

Arthur got up and openned his bedroom door, revealing MC who was singing and dancing around with the broom

MC noticed arthur who was leaning on the door frame with a defeated expression

"Good afternoon to you arthur!" MC greeted him cheerfully, which then she went back to singing and dancing around

"Good afternoon to you too, dear" arthur said which MC probably didn't hear

Once he tried flirting with her but it all flew over her head

This one time MC and arthur was left alone and he tried to make a move on her

Arthur leaned over to MC's ear and whispered

MC seemed unbothered and let him lean over to her

"Seems like we're left alone, love.. would you like to have some fun?" Arthur whispered suggestively

MC was an innocent and very bright girl but she wasn't stupid

"Hm? No. Oh! Arthur can i ask you something?" MC asked unbothered by arthurs invitation

This took him by surprise

"Oh..ehm, go ahead poppet."

"Am i annoying?"

Arthur was blown away by her question.

"Annoying? No, no. That's not it, love. Why do you ask?" Arthur asked her curiously. He wasn't expecting this question from her.

"Ahahaha..! It's nothing important, its just when i lay down at night, i start realizing the unpleasant looks i get from some people whenever im doing something or saying something. I tell myself not to be annoying but i lose control of myself the next day." MC said cheerfully as if what she felt wasn't anything serious at all

Arthur felt really bad after hearing that. He realized that she was being misundertood badly.

He realized that behind that cheerfull personality, she had such deep thoughts

He wasn't expecting her to reveal her most vulnerable side to him out of everyone

He realized that the time he looked defeated arounded MC must have been in her memories

"Oh..oh dear me. I didn't know you felt that way, and im sorry if im one of those people who made you feel that way." Arthur said, with a sympathetic look on his face.

Arthur realized that MC never wanted to cause discomfort to anyone with how she is.

"Hmm i probably sounded REAL silly with what im saying, you can pretend that i never said anything, honestly!" MC said casually as she got up from her chair

"Wait! Hang on a second, poppet. Sit back down" arthur said as he gestured her to sit down, which she did

"I dont think you are annoying. You are just misunderstood, love. It seems to me that you have many going on in your mind that you express them all at once, like a big ball of energy." Arthur explained to her

MC's eyes widen

She found his explanation rather accurate

"Oh..you..you think so?" MC said taken back by the way arthur described her

"Yes, yes. I have an idea for you, poppet. If you want to learn how to express yourself better, how about you try writing all the things in your mind- in any form you want." Arthur suggested

MC's face lit up

"That sounds very fun!" MC exclaimed

"In fact, i want to do it now!" MC said as she jolted off her seat hurrying over to the door

"Oh, and thankyou very much arthur. You are the first person to understand how i feel" MC said smiling genuinely as she headed out

Arthur felt his heart skip a beat.

Without realizing, his cheeks were tinted pink

"By jove! What is this feeling?" Arthur said to himself

Surprisingly, MC was seen in the library writing away in peace most of the time, when she isn't doing her chores

If arthur was working on his own work, MC would sit next to him and start writing aswell

She would write poems

Everyone was worried if MC had fell sick because it was very unusual for her to be this quiet, but arthur just explained that she found herself a new hobby.

Mc would show arthur what she had written, and arthur woukd be blown away everytime.

Everyone got curious with what MC was writing, and when they read her poems, their brains just melted away

Even when vincent brought one of her poems to shakespeare, he became shookspeare

Everyone actually encouraged her to publish her works to the public

MC was excited with that idea, but she said she would give it a thought

Occasionally MC would be the ball of energy she was, but she settled down more

Vincent

He would find it extremely adorable!

Just combine MC and Vincent together would make them the angels of all angels

For context, vincent would be entering the mansions gate after visiting shakespeare

He noticed a dancing figure in the hallway through the window

As he entered the mansion, he could already hear MC's singing voice from the second floor

He goes upstairs and there was MC singing and dancing around with the broom

"Hello MC! You seem very energetic as always" vincent greeted with a smile

He would ask MC if she was singing a song from her time period

He would even ask her to teach him how to sing the song

Vincent isn't an energetic person, but MC's personality rubbed onto him

He would only be energetic around her as she is basically the catalyst xD

Vincent would end up dancing around with her, spinning around through the hallway, laughing and singing

The night after goofing around with MC, she was stuck in his head

He got up from his bed and went over to his art supplies.

He had the strong urge to paint her

The way she danced, sung, and laughed created a crystal clear image in his head

After spending the whole night painting, he was knocked out asleep from morning to afternoon

MC was sent by sebastian to wake him up

She recieved no answer when she knocked, which then she invited herself in

When she came in she saw a beautifully done painting of her

Feeling her heart skip a beat

For once she felt really shy instead of her energetic self

"V-vincent, its afternoon" MC shook his shoulder gently

Stirring up, vincent woke up

"Oh..good afternoon MC. Thats strange, usually you would yell at everyone to wake them up."

Being fully awake, he noticed that her cheeks were tinted red

"Whats wrong MC? You seem rather flushed" vincent asked softly

"The painting.. it's beautiful." MC said, smiling shyly

Realizing his painting was exposed in his room, he blushed into a deep shade of red.

He wasn't mentally ready for anyone ESPECIALLY her to see it

It went silent for a moment and they both avoided eye contact

Not being able to take any more of the awkward air, MC went back into character

She started giggling

"W-what are you embarrased for vincent?" MC said surpressing a laugh

"You tell me MC." Vincent said with a chuckle finally melting away from the awkward situation

Eventually they were both laughing full of joy, even everyone was wondering what was going on in vincent's room

Long story short, they are the inseperable ball of joy 😌

Theodorus

He finds it SO iritating but he can't bring himself to hate her

Despite being so annoying she still had that angelic aura that reminded him of vincent

He already finds the mansion's residents irritating (except vincent ofc) and they arent even as energetic as MC

Wont admit that he adores her at the same time

"HONDJE! For the last time, shut up!" Theodorus shouted, his head poking out of his bedroom door

He was trying to have his afternoon nap after a long day of wheeling and dealing some art.

"Dancing and singing is good for the mind and body! Would you like to join theo?" MC said ignoring his harsh tone

Looking at her with annoyance painted on his face, he glared at her then slammed his bedroom door shut

"Guess he doesn't.." MC said to herself, continuing to sing and dance around

A few hours after that theo payed vincent a visit in his room

He wanted to ask him for advice on how to deal with how loud and energetic MC is

He would have asked arthur but he would most likely give him advice on how to get into her pants

"Come in, what's bothering you?" Vincent invited him, noticing the conflicted look his brother had

Theo sighed folding his arms

"Broer, how do i get hondje to shut up? I keep yelling at her but she never stops" Theo asked, irritation clear in his voice

"Don't call her that! She's a very sweet person" Vincent scolded

"S-sorry broer.." theo appologized looking like a sad puppy

Vincent gestured theo to take a seat next to him

"Well, i understand where you are coming from. She is very energetic indeed." Vincent said

"So..how do i stop her from driving me crazy?" Theo asked

"You say you would yell at her to be quiet right? How about.. you try talking to her VERY nicely" vincent said, emphasizing the word "very"

Theo looked at his brother, confused

"Broer.. are you sure?" Theo asked

"Yes! She is someone you have to speak kindly to for her to listen. Trust your big brother!" Vincent said cheerfully

Vincent ended up teaching theo how to speak to MC the rest of the night

As expected, the next day MC was singing loudly once again

Theo was going to go shout at her but he remembered what his brother said

He gulped and exited his bedroom approaching her

MC who was singing and dancing stopped in her tracks when she noticed a figure standing behind her

She turned around greeted with theo who had a stiff expression

"Good day to you theo! How can i help you?" MC asked cheerfully

"I.. uh hond- i mean MC. C-could you please lower your voice p..please? I am- i'm trying to rest. I would v-very much appreciate y-your coopera..tion." Theo said stuttering allover the place while fidgetting

He wasn't used to being nice to people

It went silent for a bit

"Oh my! How strange, you aren't yelling at me! My appology theo, i didn't know i put you in such distress!" MC said with a guilty expression

Theo was blown away by her response as it just sounded way out of character, making him feel guilty

"O-oh! Don't worry, i appologize for always yelling at you." Theo said flailling his hands all over the place.

MC looked at him and started laughing softly

"O-oi! What are you laughing at hondje!" Theo exclaimed, his face red with embbarasment

Secretly, he felt refreshed after hearing MC laugh again

"Ahaha! My appologies, you just looked and sounded very adorable! It's..ahaha.. very unlike you theo!" MC said, laughing

Theo's brain stopped working, i mean did MC rly just call him adorable

"Whatever! Im going back to my room!" theo stomped away, face still red

"Alright, alright! Have a nice rest! MC said still giggling

Theo slammed his door shut and slumped down against the door

"Maybe.. hondje isn't that bad at all..." theo said to himself

ISAAC

Poor boy will have a mental breakdance

ESPECIALLY when hes reading or doing some cool kid stuff //p h y s i c s

Atleast she doesn't tag along with arthur and dazai...

He knows that she is a kind soul, just has too much energy >:(

He doesnt hate her of course! He just wish she would tone it down :(

Isaac was in the library reading a book when MC started humming while she sweeped the floor

The humming slowly became a string of "lalala" and soon enough she was singing

"Goodness me, MC! This isn't the first time you have distracted my concentration.." isaac said as he burried his face into the book he was reading

Considering how soft isaac's voice was generally, MC did not hear him.

Having enough of it, He shut his book close aggresively and proceeded to walk out the door, slamming the door

The sound of the door slamming alerted MC causing her to jump slightly

"That was really loud..where did isaac go?" MC asked to herself

That was when she heard the door open, revealing leonardo

"Hello leonardo! By any chance, did you come across isaac? He suddenly left and i dont know why..." MC said

Leonardo lit up a cigarrilo and spoke

"Ah yeah, by the looks of it.. you might have upsetted him by accident, cara mia. I saw him stomping through the hallway with a sour look on his face" leonardo said calmly, inhaling his cigarrilo

"W-wait what? I..upsetted him?" MC asked in disbelieve

Leonardo noticed the unsettled look on her face

"Calm down cara mia, here take a seat" leonardo said as he gestured her to take a seat in front of him

MC sat down with a conflicted look on her face

"Heres the thing cara mia- you are a very bright soul and isaac..he is a quiet kid. He finds loud noises distressing especially when he is focussing on something. In this case.. i assume you were singing loudly around him?"

This realization hit MC like a truck

"Oh no! I never meant to make him feel uncomfortable.." MC said sadly

"I need to make it up to him...but how?" Mc continued

Leonardo leaned back to his chair

"Well, as you know, isaac has a monstrous appetite. It will be his meal time in a bit. Maybe you could bring his meal to him and talk things out with him

MC's once gloomy face lit back up

"Thats a great idea! Thankyou very much leonardo!" MC said as she stood up, hurrying out of the library

When MC arrived in the kitchen, he was greeted by sebastian who was plating up some food and rouge.

"Good afternoon sebastian! Is that for isaac?" MC asked

"Indeed, why?" Sebastian asked curiously

"I will take it up to him, since i also have something to discuss with him" MC reasoned

Sebastian stared at her for a bit

"Very well." He said

As soon as sebastian finished plating things up, MC took the tray and headed to isaac's room

She took a deep breath and knocked his door

"Come in." He said calmly

MC went in and placed the tray next to him

Isaac looked up which then his face twisted into discomfort

"Oh..thankyou" he said simply

"Im sorry.." MC said sadly

Isaac's expression showed confussion

"Huh? Why are you apologizing?" He questioned

"You left earlier, because i was bothering you right?" MC questioned back

Isaacs heart melted a bit. He felt like he did something mean considering how he saddened someone who he thought would be the last person in the world to be sad

"Oh! Oh..that.." isaac exclaimed not knowing how to respond to her question

"I really am sorry. I have always been a loud and active person that sometimes i forget about the people around me. I just fall deep into my own world once i do something..." MC explained

Somehow isaac could relate to her words. He knows how it feels to be so engulfed in what you are doing that you just forget about everything else

Maybe her peronality is like his deep interest with physics..

"Dont worry about it... i kind of understand what you mean..im sorry for storming out like that" isaac said, guilt in his voice

It went awkwardly silent for a bit

"Oh! I have an idea! What if... you shout out "gravity" whenever im being too loud around you? Im 100% sure that will alert me!" MC suggested cheerfully

"P-pardon?" Isaac asked unsure if he heard her right

"I guess that was an awfull idea..." MC said as her expression dropped once again

Isaac felt really bad when he saw her sad expression

"N-no! I.. i will think about it.." isaac mumbled, which MC heard

"Really?! Thats great!" MC exclaimed

"So...are we on good terms now?" MC continued

"I suppose you could say so.." isaac said shyly

"Good, good! I will head out now, give me a shout if you need anything" MC said as she left the room

Since then MC and isaac had formed some sort of frienship. Leonardo was glad to see that isaac was finally speaking up, guess its thanks to MC that a tiny portion of her personality slightly rubbed onto him

The day came when MC was being too loud

This time, isaac was playing chess with arthur as dazai watched them

Just like always MC started singing loudly

Isaac took a sharp inhale

"GRAVITYYY" isaac shouted on top of his lung scaring arthur and dazai at the point they probably ascended to a different dimension

"Oh! Sorry isaac!" MC said

"Bloody hell, isaac! I know you came up with the concept of gravity, but what the on earth was that for?!" Arthur said with a hand on his chest that was beating fast

" i think i pooped myself" dazai said as he hurried out of the room holding his butt with his hands.

Isaac stayed quiet, not answering his question

"Back to the game please" isaac said calmly

Arthur just sighed still wondering what all of that was

The Serpent and the Octopus [pt. 2]

It was another day of mundane school work for the merchildren. It was the same old routine for them, from morning to noon they listen to the adults ramble on about something semi-interesting until the bell rings. 

Azul looks at the merchildren playing tag and swimming about in the classroom, he scoffs at them and continues to study his spells. He thinks that they’ll fall behind if they just continue to slack off and waste the opportunity to be better.

He was focusing so much on writing a spell that he failed to notice the leech twins swimming up to him, Floyd poked his side which made the octopus yelp in surprise, nearly dropping his fish bone pen. 

Floyd: Ahahaha! You’re so jittery today Azul!

Floyd grinned at him with his sharp teeth. Azul huffed and fixed the writing supplies that were scattered about from Floyd’s prank.

Jade: Don’t go around scaring people Floyd! What if I accidentally hit you as a reflex? 

Azul huffed and looked at the eel boy with a look of annoyance. But it doesn’t seem to faze Floyd a bit.

Floyd: Don’t worry about that! I can dodge easily!

Azul: What is it that you want anyway?

Azul fixed the remaining scrolls and books that were on his desk. Jade had a curious gleam in his eyes as he leaned over the desk and huddled closer to him.

Jade: I just heard from the teachers that there’s another royal visiting our school today

Azul scoffed at that, what was so great about royals visiting when they have had a few visits in the past years? What was so great about this one?

Azul: That’s it? Another royal merprince or princess visiting isn’t news, Jade…

Floyd: But this one is special, Azul! I’ve heard the royal is from the Serpent Sea

Floyd’s eyes twinkled with intrigue as he said this. Now that is definitely something worth listening to. Azul has read books about the Serpent Sea from the local library, and they were all interesting. 

How they live in a section of caves that are spacious enough to maneuver their long bodies, yet the maze-like tunnels will get you lost if you aren’t familiar with the area. And how it was so dark that sunlight could barely shine through the waters but with their bioluminescent bodies it was no problem navigating.

But what he was interested in the most was the theory that the Sea Witch’s lair was rumored to be the body of a deceased serpent. No one has solidified this claim but with the uncanny resemblance the lair had with the serpent folk it was a shocking theory to discuss to those who read about it. 

Before he could inquire anything else from the twins the teacher came rushing in. Their teacher swam in the classroom and clapped her hands to signal the children to go to their seats.

Teacher: Class, I have a special announcement to make! As you all know, the Serpent King is currently visiting the Coral Sea for a political discussion. 

However, this time we received some special news from our king! The Serpent King has brought his daughter along for a visit! We are given the opportunity to meet the princess of the Serpent Sea! Please treat her nicely, okay?

Most of the students were excited at the news and some were even speechless. Azul heard snickering; he recognized those two merkids who weren’t paying attention to the teacher. They were the ones who picked on him for being a slow swimmer and called his tentacles gross. He could hear their hushed conversations from his seat.

Merchild A: Princess… Pfft! I bet she’ll look like those ugly anglerfish. So creepy with large jaws!

Merchild B:I bet they’re more like those blobfish! People tell her she’s pretty only because she's a royal, I doubt they actually mean it!

As the two kids gossiped among themselves, Azul’s expression hardened into a scowl, he always hated how they thought so highly of themselves; that they weren’t ashamed of openly bad-mouthing someone they assumed would be different.

The merchildren started to go quiet as soon as the teacher motioned someone to come in, the majority of them were in awe as Cerule slowly and carefully swam into the classroom. 

Azul had to admit that he wasn’t expecting the princess to look so radiant.

Her oarfish tail was glittering in the water, almost like a jewel, and the red fins looked like lace decorating the tail. Her red and white hair was styled neatly into a braid with a golden shell clipped to one side of her head. 

For someone who was supposed to be the daughter of the intimidating Serpent King, she looked like the complete opposite. She had such a gentle face that would make anyone stop and admire. Azul could see that the two who were bad-mouthing her earlier had wide eyes and their jaws open, even the leech twins looked intrigued.

Cerule looked around the classroom, the eyes of all the people staring at her made her feel nervous but she kept her head high and made sure that she didn’t look the least bit bothered by their staring.

Teacher: Class, this is Princess Cerule! The Serpent King’s daughter, please say hello to our visitor

The students rose from their seats and greets her as they bowed.

Students: Nice to meet you!

Cerule: I-it’s nice to meet you too…

She greets the students with a graceful bow. The teacher urged her to sit at the available seat which just so happens to be next to Floyd. She carefully swam to sit next to the boy and made sure her tail wasn’t getting in the way.

The twins glanced at Cerule who was fidgeting on her seat, her tail was definitely too long and she looked like a group of canned sardines.

Jade: Are you alright?

Jade asked, seeing how uncomfortable the princess looked. Cerule faced the twins and wore a nervous smile, embarrassed to have to admit that she felt the space was too small for her long tail.

Cerule: Ah, I’m sorry… I’m not used to small spaces…

She looked away, as if she was ashamed to look quite foolish in front of strangers. Azul has never seen any royal act like this, she’s acting like a scared guppy in a room full of sharks. He had to admit, it was quite amusing to see someone of royal status act this way.

Teacher: Alright, let’s begin… instead of a lesson, for today we have a discussion about what the Serpent Sea is like 

Princess, would you care to share with us what your home is like? We don’t hear much from the Serpent Sea

Cerule: O-of course!

The entire class hour, the teacher and students inquired about what the Serpent Sea is really like and Cerule was starting to feel like she would have a small chat with her father about how other kingdoms perceive them. 

There were so many questions that were outrageous and it clearly doesn’t sound like her home at all. She has a feeling it was because of his unintentional wrong impressions; she is very aware that her father looks like he’s about to murder someone. 

As soon as the class hours were up, the teacher instructed the students that they were drawing lots on who was going to be the tour guide for Cerule and show her around the Coral Sea. The students were excitedly writing down their names on pieces of paper and passing it to the teacher.

Azul went back to his studies as the teacher rummaged through the papers. He couldn���t care less about being a tour guide to a royal, it’ll just take him away from his precious study time. The teacher pulls out a paper and calls out the name of the student.

Teacher: Azul! Seems like you get to be Cerule’s tour guide! Congrats!

At that announcement, the octopus dropped his writing pen in shock, he looked to see everyone looking at him. Some with envy while the twins were mouthing to him with a teasing look.

Floyd: Lucky you! We’re tagging along anyway, there’s no way me and Jade would leave you alone

He felt uncomfortable with the way the merchildren were staring at him, but it was partially worth it since the two bullies were eyeing him with such envy, just now weren’t they making fun of her before she showed up? 

It was satisfactory that he managed to snatch away a golden opportunity from them but then there is the princess… who was still struggling to keep her tail from wriggling too much.

He hasn’t formally talked to any of the visiting royals but he assumes that they would be the same. Know-it-all kids who think they’re better than everyone, despite his growing interest to know more about the serpents, he still feels like he should keep his distance.

As soon as class was over and Cerule was slowly getting out of her seat the other students who didn’t leave started to swarm around her. Cerule recoiled a bit at the bombardment of faces that got too close to her personal space. 

They were trying to persuade her to join them instead, but before Cerule could get a word out she felt someone’s hand pull her away from the crowd.

Jade: Hey! Don’t go against what the teacher said. It’s rude you know!

Jade had a glint in his eye that warned them not to intervene as he swam alongside his twin. Floyd held Cerule’s wrist as he swam towards Azul with a grin on his face.

Floyd: Azul~! Try to keep the princess near you, wouldn't want anyone else to snatch her away, right?

Floyd has this cheeky grin as he ushers the princess towards him. Azul gathers his things and looks at Cerule and introduces himself, showing curtsey before the royal.

Azul: Pleasure to meet you, princess. I’m Azul Ashengrotto. The twins are Jade and Floyd Leech, they’re my friends, you could say…

Cerule: Nice to meet you! Umm… where do we go exactly?

She asked nervously, twiddling her fingers.

Azul: We’re going to the Atlantica museum. It’s the best place to start the tour

Said Azul as he gathered his schoolbag and swam to exit the classroom, along with the other three right behind him.

[capri-ramblings]

I haven't written in a while and this is literally my first fic writing for Twisted Wonderland, so it's a bit dry and boring but after playing one of @malleusthorns 's click and drag game i just had to write something with my result lmao.

Lilia is a character I've yet to get to know so forgive me if he's a bit ooc here (╯︵╰,) anyways hope this isn't So bad since I'm planning to write a bunch of others •́ ‿ ,•̀

Thanks again to malleusthorn for this spark of inspo (probably ruined by my horrible writing)

* * * *

Things happened so fast, I didn't think I got any of it at all until I was blinded by darkness. Shoved into a closet with someone I've only ever met once, all the while the people I call my friends snickered behind the door that separates us.

I shifted in the closet, a habit whenever I got nervous.

Lilia shifted as well but I couldn't see him until a small green light appeared and his face was illuminated by it.

He had a small smile on his lips, his features ethereal and youthful resembling a porcelain doll made with precise skills. Really, I might be exaggerating, but Lilia had an eternal feel to his demeanor, as if his beauty came from countless lifetimes.

He tilted his head then, the ball of green light in his palm glistening. I realized then he had said something and I was just staring at him.

"Uh,sorry, did you say something, Lilia-senpai?", I tried my best not to sound flustered but given our situation, I'm pretty sure half of the school would know I was losing composure.

Damn that Ace and Grimm, next time Azul gives you anemones, I'd let Floyd squeeze you dry before helping again.

"Hmm, you seem troubled", he said slightly airy yet thoughtful. "You know usually whenever I'm troubled with something I sing a song to help me think, would you like me to teach you a song to sing?"

His eyes were wide and genuine then, like a clear crystal filled with thoughts brimming with eccentricity. Lilia at the moment, kinda reminded me of a kid rather than a senior.

"Ah! You're smiling!" He leaned in closer as his lips curled into a smile as well.

"Hey, your smile is a wonderful thing to see! If that was the case, you should smile more often!"

"Ahahaha...even when I'm forced to do things I don't really want to do at first but I can't really refuse cause Principal Crowley would use my freeloading existence here as blackmail?" I closed my eyes and crossed my arms, feigning a thinking gesture. "I'll give it a try"

Lilia laughed then,so full and warm it took me by surprise. His hands came to hold my shoulders,giving it a friendly shake.

"Hahahaha! That's the spirit! You have a good sense of humour too!"

"...Huh, anyways, Lilia-senpai, are you okay with this?" He looked at me, eyes shifting from enthusiastic to curious. His smile didn't fade when he spoke.

"With what?"

"Um, this seven minutes in heaven thing. I know I'm kinda the last person you'd wanna hang with for seven minutes of your life"

"Hmm,is that so?" Something in his gaze shifted then,a mist of thought I couldn't catch in time. It wasn't unsettling,though I felt a chill ran up my spine anyway.

"And why would you say that,little lantern?"

"L-Little lantern..?"

"Ahahaha! It suits you doesn't it? Your smile just now reminded me of a lantern I saw long ago"

"Well... It's cute, I guess"

His eyes closed, that same warm chirp of a laugh coming from him again. "Say, why wouldn't I want to spend seven minutes of my time with you?" He asked, pretty close to me, maybe a bit too close. I let out a dry laugh, and gestured dismissively with my hand.

"Well,for a start I'm not really the most interesting person in this school."

"I think I can beg to differ,little lantern. You're someone without magic, a child of man, and yet the black carriage carried you here to this school and for months now you've been able to make due with whatever is thrown your way,despite what has been thrown your way, and you do it with a clear conscience too." He tilted his head again, eyes glistening like the light he held so gracefully In the palm of his hands. At that moment, I thought I was looking at something very ancient.

"O-Oh...I didn't really see it that way.." I shuffled back, attempting to create distance, but my back collided against the door.

"Ah,sorry I was taking up a lot of space, wasn't I?" Lilia laughed but his gaze fixated on me as if searching for something before it didn't and we were back to staring at each other, not really knowing what to say.

'Man,and I thought those leech twins were hard to read..'

"Say, wouldn't you like to know how to use magic?"

"Huh?"

"You really like spacing out don't you? Little lantern if you don't keep your guard up something might happen with the little time we have now"

"...What exactly could happen?"

"Hmm, I wonder what could happen"

"That's why I asked—"

Lilia took hold of my hand then, bringing up to his face.

"We have a few minutes left, you wanna try your luck?"

"I don't know. Are you gonna turn me into a toad or something"

"Eh? You're a funny one indeed, little lantern. Here,first I'll do this" Lilia placed his hand underneath mine, holding it so my palm was open, then he let his gaze bore into it before a warm sensation began pooling on my hand. A faint sense of power enveloping it.

"Wha... Lilia-senpai—"

"Eh,what a nice reaction. There, try it!"

He let his grasp turn loose and I pulled my hand away, inspecting it like it wasn't even my own hand. Somehow,it felt different...

Lilia kept his eyes on me, a smile in both his gaze and on his lips. I looked back at my hand, sighed.

"Yolo,right?" I smiled back at him.

"Eh,Yolo?"

"Ah, nevermind. What should I do by the way? I'm kinda clueless here..."

"Hmm,maybe try floating something, that's a basic skill I'm sure you'll get right off the bat!"

My gaze searched around the room then,all the while I was wondering how I got into this situation in the first place. Why was there even a party at this hour? Ugh, this school will be the death of me, I swear.

I sighed again, and at that moment I felt something crawl up onto my leg.

I locked eyes with Lilia who was still staring at me, his hand was still holding the green light.

Ah,so it's not him?

I stiffened.

"...Lilia-senpai?"

"Hm,is something the matter, Little lantern?"

My lips parted, and the crawling came again. Goosebumps greeted my whole body.

"Little Lantern,are you okay?"

I clenched my teeth. "I think there's something climbing on my leg...!" The words came out in a hurry and had Lilia widening his gaze before he looked down and seemed like he wanted to crouch with the light to see better but I grabbed at his hand, sweating.

"Don't move! What if you make it crawl faster?"

"Then how am I supposed to help you?"

"Use your magic!"

He chuckled,his free hand coming up to slightly cover his mouth. "Isn't the light I'm using now part of my magic?"

Then he really did crouch down, the light illuminating my lower half. I closed my eyes before it had a chance to trail down, but once silence stilled in the room. I desperately wanted to scream.

"Lilia-senpai..?"

"Don't move." His voice lost it's friendliness. A brusque shift from light to authoritive in mere seconds. I shut my eyes even harder, skin crawling with goosebumps. Lilia didn't answer, instead straightening his body before he looked me in the eyes.

"Everything's okay, just don't move. I'll get rid of that thing on your leg"

"What thing?" I asked,panic lacing my words. I wanted to cringe so bad but the fear of not knowing what was latching onto me had me frozen in place.

"Nothing I can't handle"

"That's not really comforting..."

"I'm your senior aren't I?" He said then, smiling gently at me again with the same warmth from before. "Even if we're from different dorms, I wouldn't hurt someone under my care"

I nodded my head,flustered once more. "Okay"

I expected some monster to be illuminated by Lilia's light and him destroying it with his magic students from other dorms talk about with astonishment.

What I didn't expect was for him to suddenly let out a yelp and the room going dark once more as I felt his body tumble ontop of me and the door to the closet opening, causing both of us to stumble out with a loud thud as we fell to the ground.

The light seemed to burn my eyes, but my chest and back held more pain from the fall.

Ace's voice reached me first.

"Wowie, someone got excited,huh?"

"Kantokusei! Are you alright?" Came Deuce's voice next and a couple of other murmurs.

The weight from Lilia was gone and as I sat up to answer both Ace and Deuce, from the darkened closet something flew out and smacked me right in the face.

Ace and Deuce let out panicked screams while I fell onto my back again, my face throbbing.

"Ara Ara, it seems like I missed" It was Lilia, and he was already on his feet, looming over my fallen figure. He was smiling but his eyes held worry in them as he reached out a hand for me to grab.

"The door opened so suddenly, if it didn't, I doubt the flip flop would've hit you, Little lantern"

"What the hell just happened?" Ace said aloud, his eyes wide as he stared at us both. Deuce had helped me up along with Lilia and actually had Grim run off to get me a drink, but my gaze went to Lilia first who was repeating apologies with his eyes.

"Kantokusei,are you okay? That flip flop really went and smack you..."

I smiled, a sudden amusement bubbling in my throat. I stared at Lilia who seemed to glow with hidden laughter as well and nodded my head. Slightly laughing when the words leave my mouth.

"The next round,we're shoving Ace in the closet alone"

"Eh? Why?" Deuce looked concerned, his face scrunched up with confusion. Lilia laughed, tilting his head to the side.

"It's alright, he won't be alone in there,right, Little Lantern?"

me reading this:

also the dedication you put into sending me stuff— like with the laptop and phone and ahsksk 🥺🥺🥺

i’ll update you when i’ve started uni btw, i’m getting more and more excited every single day haha but i still have 3 weeks until it starts and even then I’ll obviously have to get used to it and everything, but you’re making me even more excited about it sksjshsg

yeah i wanna go to england too dkshsh let’s be sad together over the fact the we can’t travel eksjsh😔😭 but hopefully the wait will make it even better in the end <33 also i talk to loads of relatives over the phone at least once a week so it’s not too bad for me! but i miss their house 😭lmao

and i knowww snshsh so many native english speakers just make so many mistakes— and obviously i get that some things are slang but some things are simply wrong ajsh, the thing is no one has ever told me that my english is bad (i know it’s not bad anyway, but i’m still insecure) or no one has ever pointed out any mistakes, but yeah it’s mostly just insecurity dkshsg but yes thanks for saying what you said (previously as well as in this ask)😌🥰

Okay now for latin— girlll i don’t blame u for choosing art over latin esp. when all of your friends are doing art as well!! I’d choose art over latin as well lol skshsg but in year 6 we had to choose between latin and french, and at the time i didn’t like french? which was dumb of me and now i wanna learn french ekdhs but i don’t regret choosing latin at all bc if i properly learn french one day then i’ll already know understand loads of stuff (or at least some stuff lol) just thanks to latin 😌😌 but still, art>>>latin skskshshgs

I wanna watch chaos walking too!!! But i don’t get when/where/how it’s out lmao, cinemas are still closed here so i’ll either have to wait or find it somewhere online... il*egally 🥰 i don’t have high expectations at all btw but i like daisy and tom and the dog🥺 so i think i’ll enjoy it

GIRL SHARK FILMS SHARK FOLMS SKSJSHSHS okay so there are a few classics i haven’t watched yet, and also a few new ones that i haven’t seen yet BUT I LOVE SHARK FILMS SO MUCH SKSHSGSGSKK the first like proper shark film i ever watched was the shallows (which i like but my brain is still too small to comprehend what happened at the end (i mean i get it but i just can’t imagine it— idek if you’ve seen the film but skshhs)) and after watching it three times it does get a bit boring (but now whenever i see pictures or videos of big waves i’m just waiting for a shark to show up like come ON SKSJSG

^^^that pic/scene really traumatised me sksjsh but i still like the film

I only watched jaws like a few months ago, and i get that it’s a classic and also that it’s old and they just didn’t have the best.. equipment or special effects or whatever but i mean... look at meg and then look at jaws.... no disrespect to jaws at ALL but the meg is so much cooler. (That one scene on the boat where the shark just JUMPS OUT OF THE WATER AND SKSJSHHSUSJHA i get such a shock every time it’s so good (and the dog aww aksjshssli 🥺🥺🥰 and the boy with the ice cream lmao he’s iconic)

47 metres down, wow, i liked that film too. (i’ve only watched the original/first one i think) i mean that is such a fucking nightmare scenario like ALSJDHSNEMSKDJSHSJSKWBALSODUEWBSLDKHDJSNSKSKSHSGEBWKAISGSHEKEKSKLDJDJDHDHSHAGGA (that’s the best way i can express my feelings about that scenario lmao)

oh and i’ve recently been watching more horror films but i don’t know if they’re for me... I like the thrill and whatever but i just end up being scared for my life when i have to go to the bathroom at night or when i’m trying to sleep bc suddenly my mind is flooded with all the scary shit from the films 💀💀💀

and music i mean... you know those people who just don’t listen to music? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM???? i honestly like all genres especially in the last year, i am IN LOVE with Nicki Minaj + Megan andddd Stormzy and i like Harry Styles but i prefer his first solo album (and obviously one direction has bangers i have a throwback 1D session at least once a month), I also love MGK especially his new stuff and otherwise i mostly listen to german artists lmao. So who do you like?💖 (WHY DO I FEEL LIKE YOURE GONNA SAY SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SKAHAGUS IF YOU LISTEN TO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MUSIC DONT JUDGE ME AJSHDJS) (i know you’re not gonna judge me but)

++ @ the thing you said about writing, don’t worry, i don’t feel pressured at all!!! (not by you and not by anybody else.. except myself sometimes lol) and i’m just very happy that you liked my fics 🥰🥰🥰 and if i start telling people that i’m writing a fic then sometimes it puts a bit of (healthy) pressure on me. like yes sometimes it really is writer’s block, but sometimes i really am just lazy ddkshhd so now that i’ve told you i’m writing a fic i might get my ass up quicker than i would if i hadn’t told anyone 😌😌😌

#ok i wrote some if this on the tube/on the bus/at the dentist/in bed so if this seems like it’s all over the place #that’s bc i was literally all over the place skshg #*of #also i love how you used tags skajahsg #lovely anon #<3 #sorry if some of the sentences didn‘t make sense or were too fucking long i wrote half of this half asleep #and i know i dont have to apologise but still like no one should have to read all my page long sentences that arent even proper sentencesskk

Summer of Smut Writing Challenge: Sweet and Sticky

Pairing: SLBP Totoyomi Hideyoshi x MC (OC)

Theme: Day 1 - Popsicle licking

Summary:  A Modern AU where a lon

Rating: NC-17/Explicit (for semi-public graphic oral sex)

Word Count: Approx. 4.4k

Notes: Well since I’m back writing again, I decided it was time to participate in my first writing challenge brought to you by @voltage-vixen ! This was so much fun to come up with, and I’m excited to share what else I came up with!

Since this was my first fic, it was a bit longer than I initially intended, but I am proud of what I wrote. I recently started to love Hideyoshi, so I had to contribute to his tag on Ao3 LOL.

Also, I wrote this with my MC Nomi as the female protag. I was told to have fun with this and I’ve always wanted to share a fanfic starring my ocs so I’m starting with this!

Ao3: here

"I don't think I've been this exhausted since high school."

"Ah, then maybe I should take you out here more often."

Nomi toweled off the sweat on the back of her neck as she smiled at her boyfriend. She and Hideyoshi had just finished a bike ride following the shoreline for the past hour. Admittedly, she wasn't much of an athlete, but Hideyoshi was eager to show her the view of the beach and surrounding area from the top of the hill at the end of their trail, so she agreed. Now, her thighs burned like crazy as she walked her bike back to the rental station. 

Despite his casual tone, Hideyoshi was clearly worried about her. He had asked her multiple times along the way if she wanted to turn back before they got to the end of the trail,  but each time she insisted she'd be fine. He mentally scolded himself for not turning back anyway as she spent half an hour sprawled out on a bench when they got to the top. As retribution, he helped her reapply all of the sunscreen she sweated off before they headed back.

Now, as they chatted away, Nomi felt no hard feelings at all. She knew she would regret it the next morning, but any time spent away from school and with her sunshine boyfriend was time well spent in her book. The two were by the beach near the bike station when an unfamiliar voice called out to them.

"Excuse me? Miss?"

Nomi turned around to see an unassuming young man approaching her with a camera. He had a polite smile on his face as he waved at her. "Hi, I work for a local travel agency and we're trying to get some updated photos for our website. Would it be alright if I took some of you?"

Suddenly, very self-conscious, Nomi felt her cheeks heat up. "Oh, me? I don't know, I feel like I probably look pretty gross right now..."

"Oh don't worry about it! I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't think you looked the part," he looked towards Hideyoshi, "Would it make you feel better if he was in it with you?"

Nomi turned to Hideyoshi, her eyes full of uncertainty as she waited for his word. She couldn't read his expression behind his smile. "I think that would be great!" His tone was totally cheery, easing away any apprehension she initially had.

"Okay then I'll do it!" Nomi gave the photographer a smile and a nod. "Is there anything in particular you want?"

The photographer nodded and circled them around to their other side. "I was thinking you two smiling and pushing your bikes with the beach in the background." 

They proceeded to cooperate with him and arranged themselves so they could get the ideal shot. After a few pictures of them smiling at the camera and holding their bikes up, the photographer suggested changing things up.

"Why don't you two uhh, look at each other. Really sell that you're in love!"

"Sell that we're in....ahahaha...." Nomi hadn't meant to laugh, but the concept of making it known that she loved Hideyoshi through a photo baffled her. What did that even mean? All she could do was laugh, something she often found herself doing when she was uncomfortable. When she looked up at Hideyoshi, he was smiling at her. This time, his affection for her shined through his amber eyes. Anytime he looked at her like that made her bashful, but remembering that they were in front of a camera made her almost double over in coy giggles. "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this."

"Oh, no, I got some great shots, thank you two so much!" The photographer didn't seem upset at all. In fact, he too had a smile on his face, as if their energy had affected him through the lens of this camera. "If you don't mind, could I have your information so I can send you release forms and the final photos?"

As they exchanged emails and business cards, Hideyoshi remained quite personable and friendly. But Nomi could sense that he wasn't all the way there. His eyes didn't have that gleam to them, but she couldn't think of a reason why he would be that way. She nodded and followed along with their conversation until the photographer gestured to her again.

"I'm honestly so glad you two agreed to do this. My client told me that cute girls tend to catch the most attention, so I'm sorry if I came on too strong."

"Cute? You're too kind," Nomi could feel her awkward side jumping back out again. She never knew how to take such compliments.

Hideyoshi merely shrugged, "I can't blame you at all, she's as cute as they come." He nodded to the photographer one last time, "We'll stay in touch then, yeah?"

The photographer smiled, "Of course! Enjoy the rest of your day," before he left, he turned back to them, "Oh, and by the way, on the other side of the bike station is a brand new artisanal popsicle stand. It's been a big hit since it opened and I highly recommend it!"

"Ooh, artisanal! Let's try them!" Nomi couldn't help but perk up at the mention of food. "That would be perfect, thank you so much!"

After parting ways with the photographer and paying for their bikes, the two got in an unexpectedly long line for popsicles. They had waited 15 minutes before Nomi's aesthetic decision to not wear a hat began to bite her in the ass....or.....on the forehead.

"Ahhh, I'm burning up. Will you watch my stuff while I go cool off really quickly?"

Hideyoshi maintained a neutral, yet positive face. "Sure thing. You wanted the blueberry peach jasmine, right?"

As she shimmied out of her shorts and shoes and took her hair out of its scrunchie, she kissed him on the cheek. "Yup, you know me so well! I'll be back soon, I need to go before I turn into a hash brown!" With that, she scurried off across the hot sand. Hideyoshi watched her go, and as an unfortunate result, watched the eyes of several other men -in the line and nearby- follow her too.

Without much else on her mind, Nomi made her way out to where the water was waist-deep and dipped her head beneath the surface. The water was cool enough to instantly soothe her sizzling scalp, yet not cool to the point that it would make her shiver if she stayed in for too long. Realizing this, she slicked her wet hair out of her face and waded in the water for a bit, riding along the gentle waves as the sun kissed her face. The warm breeze that had her sweating buckets earlier now provided a gently relaxing breeze.

Nomi found herself staying out there for a little longer than originally intended. The salty residue in her hair felt gritty to the touch as it dried; she submerged herself one last time for good measure and made her way back out of the surf.

Her thighs felt like they were tied to weights as she trudged out of the water. Her neck felt heavy as water trickled down the back of her thighs. When she set foot on the wet sand, she considered plopping down right where she stood, she was so tired. Maybe she really had underestimated how out of shape she was. Her head was facing the water when she heard it:

"Oh no, look out!"

Wha--? Bonk.

Something bounced off the back of her head. Her exhaustion caused her to stumble forward, so much so that she felt herself toppling forward when somebody caught her by her shoulders. When she caught her balance, she turned around to see a generically handsome stranger.

"I'm so sorry, are you okay?"

"Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm sorry for..." Nomi trailed off when she realized she had nothing to be sorry for. "I was...in the way, I guess?"

He smiled, "Nah, you're good, you're good." His eyes raked over her, quickly, but not fast enough so that she didn't notice. "Hey, actually have I seen you around here before?"

Great, now Nomi wasn't just uncomfortable, she also had no idea how to answer that. "...I...was just by the popsicle stand a few minutes ago....?"

"No, it must have been from somewhere else," he pondered, though his eyes wouldn't leave her.

Nomi's eyes darted around, nervous and confused, "I...don't know what to--"

"Nomi!"

She turned her head to see Hideyoshi standing with their popsicles in one hand and her shoes, shorts, and bag in the other. His lips were pressed into a firm line. "You ready to go?"

"Oh! Of course," The fact that he would let his irritation show so plainly on his face would normally make her want to solve whatever issue there was, but at that moment, she honestly just wanted to leave. She nodded at the guy as she started to walk towards Hideyoshi, "Uh, see you, then," she barely mumbled out.

His once charming enough smile had faded into a neutral expression and he waved once. "Likewise."

---

The two of them made their way off the beach and to the parking lot where their car was. There was a small storage shed at the top of a short set of stairs facing away from the shore and, more importantly, the sun. They sat, leisurely enjoying their chilled treats and talking about whatever. Nomi was glad things were normal between them, but she couldn't forget the look on his face back on the beach. Of course, he wasn't thrilled to see some stranger attempt to talk to her, but she sensed there was a little bit more to it than just that.

"So...how was the line?" she started, trying to figure out how to pry.

 "It wasn't too bad. It sped up when I got to the front." He didn't give her much to work with.

"Oh, good..." she began, staring at the sand still clinging to her feet. "The water was really nice, we should have gone out there earlier."

Hideyoshi shrugged. "We could always come back tomorrow."

Nomi nodded, but carefully continued on, "And that guy--"

"Pear and ginger." Hideyoshi cut her off, but the way he did so made it seem like it wasn't totally on purpose. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye to see him staring at what was left of his popsicle. "I would have never thought to mix those two flavors, let alone sell them as a popsicle."

Nomi let out a little laugh. "Yeah, they really know what they're doing with these flavors." Her eyes returned back to her feet. Well if he wasn't going to bring it up, then maybe it wasn't that big of a deal after all. She sighed and relaxed her shoulders before she set her focus back on the brilliant berry color of her own. "The bar was probably pretty low to begin with, but this is the best popsicle I've ever had." With that, she closed her lips around it, drinking down the juice that had melted while she was talking. It was thoroughly sweet, yet still so very fresh tasting. Nomi found herself making a small noise of satisfaction bubbling up from the back of her throat as she swallowed.

"You don't even notice it, don't you?"

"Hm?"

She turned back to him, surprised by his statement. He was looking right at her, his previous facade of content replaced with a rather wistful look in his eyes. What was going on in his mind?

"What do you mean?"

Hideyoshi smiled a little, "People really love you. There's something about you that draws them in, whether they know you or not," his smile deepened as he recounted a feature he loved about her. "And of course I understand why: it's because they can tell what a great person you are from the start."

Nomi felt her cheeks tingle from hearing such a compliment. "Hideyoshi, I..."

"But of course," he seemed to take a mildly self-deprecating tone, "when I see other people drawn to you, a totally irrational part of me wants you all to myself, even though I was drawn to you in the same way. But it's unfair to you to try and keep you like that." He ended it with a sigh, like he was letting out a breath he'd been holding, and put his popsicle back in his mouth.

There was a moment where they didn't speak, the sound of crashing waves and distant chatter filling the silence, before Nomi finally got her words together. "I don't think you should worry about that because you have me." After she got that out, she felt more confident in what she was saying. "You do have me all to yourself! Of course, I can't just never talk to anybody else ever again, but hey," she placed a reassuring hand on his knee, "I'm here with you. I'm having a great time with you. There's nobody else I'd rather spend a day like this with."

For a moment, he seemed surprised by her confession. When he smiled again, his eyes had that gleam to them that she loved. "Nomi..." He moved in closer to her on the step, their eyes locked. "Thank you for saying that." He reached out and placed his hand on her forearm, right above her elbow.

Nomi didn't think much of it as she continued on, "I mean it, I don't think there's a thing I wouldn't enjoy doing with you!"

Hideyoshi froze, but then he had a sly glint in his eyes. "Oh, anything?" he asked, lifting her forearm and leaning in towards her. "Well in that case..." Without waiting for any reaction from her, he stuck his tongue out and licked a trail up her arm all the way up past her wrist and into the center of her palm.

"H-Hey!" Nomi said, suddenly flustered to high heaven.

Hideyoshi didn't back away. His face was so close to hers that she could faintly feel his cool breath fan across her chin and neck when he spoke. "You let your popsicle melt in your hand that whole time." There was a chuckle in his voice as he winked at her.

"I--oh!" Nomi stammered when she looked at her hand. Sure enough, what was left of her popsicle was a smaller shape than she last recalled; the violet ice had a completely shiny exterior and a matching trail of liquid trailing down her fingers to pool at the point of her palm where Hideyoshi had just finished licking. "Darn it, I really liked this too," she stuck the remaining lump of ice between her lips to slurp off the excess melting, unable to stop the little satisfied moan she made at its impeccable marriage of flavors.

"Don't worry too much about it. We can always go get another of we have to," He seemed somewhat casual about her getting another one, but he was still right up near her face and his eyes were now focused towards her stained lips. "You know, I saw that guy on the beach throw that ball at you."

Her eyes widened, but his closeness kept her from having any more of a reaction. "He did? What for?"

His thumb was rubbing a small, soothing circle on her wrist, though it only made her heartbeat pick up. "Probably so he'd have an excuse to talk to you."

Nomi's eyes darted side to side, "What would he have possibly wanted with me?"

Hideyoshi's smile was unmistakably amorous by then. "I think I have an idea." 

Slowly and gently, he lifted his hand holding his popsicle to her mouth. Her lips were already parted enough for the tip of the wooden stick poking out to slip between them. She let out a surprised "Hmm?" when she felt the cold wetness of the ice part them further so it could slide across her tongue. Her eyes locked with his again. She let out another instinctive moan as the sweetness of pear and tang of ginger enveloped her tongue. Encouraged by her reaction, he Slowly dragged it out of her mouth before pushing it back in. He watched her wide, deep blue eyes stare back at him, flustered, but nevertheless wanting and curious. He ran the popsicle across her tongue like that, completely enchanted by the visual, until a small trail of its juice dribbled out of the corner of her mouth and down her chin. Without hesitation, he took the popsicle out of her mouth and licked up the trail just as he did on her arm until he reached her lips, which he claimed in a passionate and skillful kiss. 

Nomi made yet another surprised noise, but she accepted the kiss with her open mouth. Their cold lips came together fervently, as if in an attempt to warm each other back up. Hideyoshi had her back up against the railing, so she turned her whole body towards him for a more comfortable position. From there, she returned his kiss in full force, grasping at the back of his tank.

"Is this what he wanted?" she breathed when they parted for air. She took the rest of her popsicle and sucked down the slushy remainder before tossing the stick aside.

"Hells yes," he said, his voice already husky. His lips traveled down to his neck while his hands on her hips travelled upward until his thumbs and index fingers hooked under the strings of her bikini. Her head fell back against the wooden poles behind her, giving him better access to the column of her neck. She had been so abruptly aroused that she didn't even consider that they were out by a public beach during the middle of the day; they had been alone by the parking lot for so long it didn't seem like an issue. She didn't even feel particularly exposed when he pulled the triangles of her top aside to gently graze one of her breasts with his teeth.

"Hideyoshi!" she gasped, tugging on his shirt in a bid to get his attention.

He looked up at her from where he was nibbling at her tan lines. "Nomi?"

She found herself choking on her words. She was never really any good at voicing her desires. "There's...something I want to do, actually."

His eyes were burning with desire, and now intrigue, "Oh? And what is that?"

"Um..." she glanced aside to the top of the stairs where the last bit of his popsicle was now melting into a puddle on a wooden plank. "I...the popsicle..."

He was rolling one of her nipples beneath his thumb, "What about the popsicle?"

"Mmn--! I..." Her head was spinning with need, but she took a breath and finally got it out. "I...want to do that again. With you."

His hands toying with her paused. His eyes were equally lustful and serious. "Is that what you really want?"

Nomi nodded, "Yes, I really want to do it," she placed a hand over his, "I want you to know that I'm all yours."

He couldn't help but smile at her sentiment. "You're so cute, you don't even know," he said, getting up off of her and sitting upright on the stairs with his legs spread. "Come here."

On clumsy legs, Nomi got up, not even adjusting her top as she positioned herself on her knees on a lower step. She was a little unsure of what exactly he wanted her to do, so she sat awkwardly, waiting for further instruction.

Hideyoshi took her scrunchie off of her wrist so he could carefully tie her hair back out of her face. The way he lovingly combed through her hair -though it was still damp from earlier- eased her anxious excitement and only made her want it more. He took her hands and slid them up his thighs until they reached the waistband of his pants. "Do you want to do it?

Nomi nodded. She appreciated him asking her. They had done this a few times before but she always felt clueless when it came to starting anything. The fact that she even initiated this, in public or not, must have been baffling to both of them.

She hooked her fingers beneath his shorts and the two of them cooperated to shimmy them down just enough to release himself. He was already half hard, she felt like a novice for not having noticed any earlier. Encouraged by his gentle hand in her hair, she started giving him little licks along the shaft until she finally got the gumption to put him in her mouth. Very carefully, she wrapped her lips around the tip, gently sucking and lapping at it with her tongue until she heard him sigh.

After releasing him from her mouth with a wet smacking sound, she started to work her tongue along the sides of his shaft, getting it wet as her mouth continued to water. His hands were back to pushing her hair behind her back, keeping her long ponytail from tumbling down over her shoulders so he had a perfect view of her. She realized her hands were tightly grasping his shorts when he took one of them and placed it around the base.

"Keep going," his voice was low and heady, just quiet enough so she could hear him while the waves crashing in the background protected them from any potential listeners.

Nomi was more than eager to do so. She took him into her mouth again, this time, relaxing her tongue and bobbing her head back and forth on him until she could fit most of him in her mouth. It was exhilarating feeling him get harder and harder with each stroke of her tongue. She was salivating more than she would have liked to admit, so she pulled back and sneakily leaned to the side of his knee to let the excess pour out. She wouldn't have felt good ruining his shorts like this.

"Haha...you're so cute, Nomi," he was laughing, but his voice was so breathy it made her ache. "You don't have to do that."

Nomi glanced up, then hid her face in her palm. "Ah, I'm sorry!" she said meekly, "I'm so bad at this..."

"Oh no, you're doing great," Hideyoshi assured her. "Here," he lowered his shorts so they were at his ankles, "so you don't have to worry about that."

"Alright then...here I go..." she wanted to kick herself for that last part. To avoid any further embarrassment, she licked a bold stripe up the top of his shaft before sucking it back into her mouth and keeping her jaw loose.

"Mmm...Nomi," he groaned under his breath as she worked. He moved her hand to cup his balls so he could hold himself in her mouth. She let out a cute little moan, similar to the one she made when she was enjoying her popsicle, once she finally got him all the way to the back of her throat. She kept him there for as long as she could until she pulled back to take a breath. He held her head at the back so she wouldn't pull too far away and as a result, her excess drool slipped out over his head, making him even slicker. 

He was now fully erect in her mouth. She could taste his precum against her tongue, which made her sigh around him. As she was getting more and more into it, she found herself hooking her finger in flyaway hair that kept getting in her mouth. "I've got you," Hideyoshi whispered, pushing her hair back yet again. This time, his hands stayed at the back of her head underneath her ponytail. "Is it alright if I start moving?"

"Ah-huh," was all she could say with his dick in her mouth, but it was all the confirmation he needed. He started to gently thrust himself in and out, revelling in the feeling of her warm, wet tongue on him. She looked up at him and he thought that sight might have stopped his heart. She accepted him so openly, yet there was a certain innocence to the look in her eyes. If she felt this good now, he could only imagine the hell she could raise once she got more experience.

He kept moving until her eyebrows pinched together and she sputtered and around him. He let go of her head and pulled himself from her, stroking at the base. "Sorry, was that too much?"

Nomi wiped her wet chin with the back of her hand as she shook her head. "No, I'm okay."

He swept his fingers underneath her chin, "Then is it alright if I touch you too?"

Nomi smiled provocatively, "I would love that, please do." When she went back down on him, she felt the solid warmth of his torso on the back of her head. She undid the button of her shorts so he could slide inside her bikini bottoms from the back. His skillful digits made quick work of her. She was already so turned on, that he had her thighs shaking as he fucked her with two fingers. She moaned and moaned around him, to the point where she forgot she was supposed to be pleasing him.

"Actually, can you stop? It's too distracting!" she giggled when she came up for air. By then, she was fully stroking him with her hand, getting the full range of motion out of her wrist.

"Ah...of course," he sounded positively wrecked then, but he did as asked. But before Nomi could get fully into it, she was being pulled into a wet, fierce kiss.

"Hideyoshi?!" she asked, her voice throaty and shocked.

"How about we finish this in the car, yeah?" he whispered. He had his normal flirty smile on, but he looked positively wrecked. "I'd prefer there to be no sand where I lie you on your back."

She must have looked the same, though, "That would be perfect."

And so, they haphazardly made themselves decent so they could run back to their car. After they finished fucking, they went back to the same popsicle stand for seconds, as there were other flavors Nomi wished to try. They sat in the same spot, got turned on by the memory of what happened earlier, and went back to their car for another round. They continued this loop until they were the only two people on the beach and he really did have her all himself.

“ Hello dear! could I possibly ask for any of the boys with an s/o with an 18ft reticulated python?”

@unluckyamulet

Sorry! I messed up when I first posted this;;

I had to do some research before writing, I hope I wasn’t too inaccurate. Though that means that I had the time to write for more than one jerk

( + Jb cuz I can’t help myself ).

———

The way everyone would find out at first would be during a group meeting where the topic of pets would come up. Everett would casually bring up his two dogs back home during the conversation. Oh, that’s awesome! Shiloh would add up to it by mentioning his three cats. Who else has a pet? Oh, Jb has both cats and dogs. That’s terrific!

Jb would look at the rest of the guys expectantly, but there would be no response from them. What? don’t tell her they’ve suddenly become too timid to admit the existence of their pet companion.

Ah, no, it seems they don’t have any pets after all. Not that it’s too surprising that these goons don’t have a creature to care for, ahah.

Shiloh, noticing your exclusion of the conversation

(as well as ignoring Pran’s ) gives you a smile and asks if you have any pets.

You tell them that you have an 18ft reticulated python. Their eyes widen, that’s so freakin’ cool! Jb, Shiloh and Nate would be ones to pester you with questions while the others, pretending to be disinterested, would listen closely.

Shiloh would ask you questions such as, what does it look like? What’s their name? For how long did you have it? Who takes care of your python while you’re in boarding school?

Nate would ask you questions surrounding on how to care for a reticulated python. What type of housing should it have? At what size is appropriate for a reticulated python to be placed in a gallon tank/vivarium before they need a bigger enclosure? How do you maintain the heat, humidity and bedding? What’s the proper way to handle their behavior and temperament to build trust?

Honestly, Nate would ask so many questions that at least one of them would ask if he considers having one himself. Well of course not! He doesn’t have enough of an open schedule to care for one, but is it wrong for him to ask? No, he didn’t think so.

Jb, well, she wouldn’t exaaactly ask any real questions. It’ll mostly be her throwing flirty remarks at you while making everyone else groan.

“ Did ever tell you that people with large snakes are super hot? So it’s pretty gosh darn amazing that a certain cutie happens to have one in this room, wink wink”.

Overall Lynn would be pleased with the shared bonding without his direct influence.

At some point during your relationship with any of the jerks, they’ll come to your home to finally meet the reptile. Here’s how I think that would go:

Jb, Everett, Nate and Jeremy with an S/O that owns a reticulated python

Jb: She was very excited when giving you a visit! Maybe a bit too excited in fact, you decide to remind her on what to keep in mind. Yeah yeah, she gives you her ‘ I’m not actually paying attention’ grin.

You give her a affectionate sigh.

Wow, what a stunner! At first glance Jb begins to compliment your baby, you made a risk there y/n, she could easily run away with a looker like that.

Haha, very funny. You’d enjoy the rest of the day listening to her having a one sided conversation with your python as well as making jokes at Shiloh’s expense over the fact that this reticulated python baby would be a much better group mate than that freckled boy.

Of course you can’t help but feel a bit bad over the mean spirited attitude so quickly change your mind and say that it would be nice to have both of those snake cuties in a meeting. Aww yeah! definitely, you two should totally try to sneak her/him in sometime. Lynn wouldn’t approve but maybe they can get the chance of a one on one interaction with the snakes one day.

Everett: When stepping inside he’d lean against the wall. You’d give him a friendly tease and say ” What? You aren’t afraid of him/her now are you?” Pft, yeah right as if.

He’d say that he could definitely handle a large snake like that. But he’d still keep his distance, so that big talk could easily be seen through.

Ahah, alright then. Sure, you believe him. He’s a tough guy. Since you happen to be an owner of multiple snakes you’ll suggest for him to interact with the baby ones at first.

That’ll be a relief for Everett. You’ll have to tell him how to hold them and the amount of pressure to put on his hand but once he gets the hang of it he’ll actually be pretty giddy about it.

Alright then! Then it’s time to for him to meet your big baby. He’ll carefully place himself where he’s either behind you or right beside. When unlocking the enclosure the python jumps at him slightly which makes him squeal and jump back. His reaction when he notices that he didn’t get bitten or launched at makes you laugh, but you try to contain it, so it’s more of a snort.

Hey, fuck you! Stop being a bitch. But can he really complain when he’s being a little bitch himself?

Yeah, no, that’s not even funny. Don’t joke with him like that. Jokes aside you decide to finally get serious.

You let Everett watch closely as you care for the python on your own so he can get used to the process. He wouldn’t be much of help besides that but he’ll try to make progress on how to interact. Once he finally has the courage to try it takes a few tries but when he finally has a decent grip on it. You’re proud and happy to see you two babies get along.

Nate: You were honestly not sure if you wanted him to hold the snake. When interacting with snakes you want to make sure that it’s a pleasant and not a stressful interaction for the person. Since a reticulated python is more reactive than other more calmer snakes you were a bit more concerned for his reaction.

But you were pleasantly surprised when he gently placed his hand on him/her and gave gently stroked the python front to back. What? You didn’t expect him, Nate Lawson, to not make research beforehand? He asks you, with a self satisfied grin. But this means that he now needs to know that you make sure you have all necessities ready.

You better be prepared to have him nag on you to bring him with you on pet-shopping days.

Sigh, okay Nate.

When you don’t feel like complaining over this arrangement you like to joke with him and say that it’s your “quality time” together. It makes him defensive and flustered but he brought it on himself.

Jeremy: Wait… PFFt AHAHAHHAHA! What is he wearing?! When Jeremy rang the doorbell you saw him being covered in a thick woolen sweatshirt and two pillows wrapped in front of him and back tied with a big elastic band. Omg, no , ahahaha! It’s already too good but he’s wearing boxing gloves too my god!

Sigh, he has all day. Get that laughter out. He was expecting this reaction. After your fit of laughter finally calms down you ask him what all of that was for.

Uhh, he told his parents about it. They were fine at first but when he mentioned the species and the size they got concerned and decided to put him in this humiliating ’armor’.

Oh, haha, that’s… sweet? You told him that reticulated pythons could indeed be a bit more hyper considering their aggressive feeding response. But you were going to be there beside him to guide him through everything.

Alright, then that sounds better.. he guesses. Though you’ll have to cut the elastic band off him, he’s stuck like this.

When you walk him to the enclosure Jeremy gazes at the pattern of the scales. You nudge his shoulder, “ That’s real beaut, right? “ and smile at his silent nod of agreement. While you let the python slither around your arms you casually ask him if he wants to try holding the python too.

err, that’s probably not the smartest idea. He reminds you of his scrawny arms and says that he’ll probably drop her/him. That liar! He carries a toolbox around the hobby shop all the time! But okay, you suggest that you both hold him/her to see how much of the weight he can handle. Yeah that could work. Jeremy takes a hold. Whoah, that’s heavy, maybe it’s for the best if you wrap your baby around his back. Alright there we go! Isn’t that nice?

a smile forms on his face. Should you be worried? Instantly he frowns at that joke. Oh well, his smile was enjoyed for the short while it lasted, ahah.

tw: mentions of bad parents

~~~

The night air bites at your skin as you walk down the street, shoes loud on the pavement. You need somewhere to stay, somewhere quiet and alone and far away from your parents. After walking for ten minutes, you spot a house on a hill, large and looming.

As you get closer, you realize how old it looks. Maybe it’s abandoned. You really hope so.

You press a hand to the door and it creaks open on its own, furthering your assumption that no one lives here. You step inside cautiously. It’s dark and silent in the room. A cool breeze hits you and you shiver.

There’s a sound, like a raspy breath, but you look around and see nothing. Your heartbeat quickens. Must be an animal or something.

“BOO!”

You shriek, hands clapping over your ears at the sudden loud noise. Light floods the room and you squeeze your eyes shut.

“AHAHAHA— OH SHIT.” You hear a ragged voice, like its owner has rotten vocal chords. “Lyds, this kid isn’t your dad.”

You open your eyes and the first thing you see is a girl, dressed in black and with her arms crossed. Beside her is a man in a striped suit that looks… terrible, if you’re being honest.

“Beej, you’re an idiot,” the girl says, monotone. Then she puts a hand on your shoulder and says, gently, “Are you okay? I’m really sorry we scared you. We thought you were my dad and stepmom.”

“I’m fine,” you say, taking your hands off your ears. “Uh, sorry for just… walking into your house? I thought—”

“Lydia? What’s going on?”

A man and a woman walk down the stairs, but something about their movement feels… off. They seem to glide as they walk over.

“We heard a scream that doesn’t sound like anyone in this house,” the man says, and then his gaze lands on you. “Oh.”

You stare at him— and the way his hand is currently phasing through the girl’s shoulder. His eyes widen.

“Wait, can you see us?” he asks.

“Yeah? How are you doing that?” you ask.

There’s a beat of silence. And then the man with the raspy voice speaks up.

“We’re ghosts!” he says with a grin, flying in between the other two and wrapping arms around their shoulders. Somehow, he still has two arms to gesticulate with. “Well, I’m really more of a demon, but eh. For simplicity, ghosts!”

“This is Adam and Barbara. Beetlejuice is the one who scared you. He won’t say sorry so I’m apologizing for him.” The girl points at the three of them. “And I’m Lydia. I’m not a ghost.”

You stare, silent, for a minute. You’ve always suspected ghosts existed, but now you’re meeting three of them at once. This is very overwhelming, especially because Beetlejuice is staring at you with slightly-glowing eyes.

“I’m (Y/N),” you say. “I’m really sorry for just walking in here, this house looked abandoned and I… need somewhere to sleep.”

Immediately, Adam and Barbara’s eyes soften. Barbara asks, “You don’t have parents? Or family to stay with?”

“Unfortunately, I do have parents,” you scoff. “They aren’t… the best, sometimes.”

Lydia frowns. Then she looks to Adam and Barbara. “We have a guest room.”

Both of them know it’s not a question. They nod right away. Beej looks less certain. His two extra arms fold into his body and seemingly disappear. He flaps his hands slowly, fingers bent in odd positions.

“You’re really gonna let a breather stay here?” he asks. “We don’t even know him, Lyds.”

“We let you stay,” Lydia says airily. He huffs. “This ’breather’ can’t be any worse than you.”

“You use masculine pronouns, right?” Adam asks. You nod, a happy feeling blooming in your chest at the fact that they could tell.

“Follow me, sweetheart,” Barbara says as Beej and Lydia continue to bicker. She leads you to the stairs. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah. I think,” you say. You did just accidentally break into someone’s house, but you’ve had worse days, right?

“Well, if you need anything, or anyone to talk to, Adam and I are always around,” she says with a soft smile. “Mostly because we’re stuck in the house.”

“It’s not so bad, once you get used to it,” Adam says, floating up to the two of you. “Although… it is a little boring. We haven’t met anyone new in months.”

His eyes glaze over, sad, and Barbara laces their fingers together.

“I’m glad I broke in, then,” you say, earning a loud laugh from him and a chuckle from Barbara.

~

“This is the guest room,” Barbara says, leading you inside.

It’s small, but gives off a cozy feeling despite the harsh modern accents to it. There’s a bed, dresser, and a desk. Long curtains cover a window on the wall opposite the door. On top of the desk is a cardboard box, BJ’S STUFF scrawled on it in barely legible handwriting.

Adam spots it and opens the flap. “Oh!” he says. “Beetlejuice’s stim toys are in here.”

Before anyone can respond, a snap! is heard, and you turn to see Beej has appeared next to Adam. His hair swirls a mixture of green and red when he sees you. He roughly grabs the box.

“Stim toys? You’re autistic?” you ask, excited. “I’m autistic too!”

“You are?” Adam makes fists and shakes his hands up and down. “That’s so exciting! So am I! And so is Barb and Lydia!”

You both smile wide and you start happy stimming, feeling the energy bubble up inside you. Beej, meanwhile, clutches the box to his chest and his eyebrows furrow.

“Yeah, well, just ‘cause you’re autistic too doesn’t mean you can touch my shit, okay?” he says, mouth turned up in a scowl.

“Beej!” Barbara says, scolding. “Don’t be mean to him.”

“I just— You can’t— Ugh, just leave me alone!” His voice raises to a yell and then with a loud, frustrated crack! noise, he disappears.

~

A few minutes later, after the Maitlands apologize profusely for Beej’s rudeness, you climb into the bed, shoulders tense. You feel so awkward, in someone else’s bed, in someone else’s house. You shift uncomfortably under the warm covers.

“Are you alright, sweetheart?” Barbara asks, floating over to you. She wrings her hands together nervously.

“Y-Yeah! It’s just… a little hard to fall asleep. Today’s been a rollercoaster,” you say.

“That’s understandable,” Adam says, chuckling a little. “If you need anything, we’ll be in the attic, just go up the stairs at the end of the hall. Lydia’s room is next door.”

You nod.

“Goodnight, (Y/N),” Barbara says, the softest smile on her face.

“Goodnight, guys. Thank you so much,” you say, even though words could never capture how thankful you really are.

“Of course. You need someplace to stay. We would never deny anyone that,” Adam says. He smiles, hand resting on the doorway. “See you in the morning, dear.”

The lights shut off and the door closes. You can hear the ambient noises of the now-quiet house: floorboards settling, pipes flowing, the low chatter of the ghosts in the attic. You close your eyes.

More relaxed than you’ve been in a long time, you fall asleep.

[pervocracy]

One opinion about almost every episode of Doctor Who that I’ve watched

spoilers, although they’re mostly from like 2005

An Unearthly Child: Whoa, they nailed the theme song right from the get-go!

Rose: The Doctor’s speech about feeling the Earth turning under his feet was chilling, and I think about it a lot in moments later in the series when he’s being goofy and casual.

The End of the World: They spent a lot of money on this one--costumes, effects, even licensed music--to prove to everyone that This Ain’t Your Daddy’s Doctor Who.

The Unquiet Dead: I realize saying “every myth is actually aliens” is kind of the Brand, but this one came off particularly strongly “we wrote a Victorian ghost story but then the boss said it had to be aliens so okay, fine, they’re fuckin’... alien ghosts.”

Aliens of London: “Being the Doctor’s companion will completely destroy your life” is a surprisingly grim running theme in the series.  Every companion eventually brings grief to their friends and families, in one way or another.

World War Three: Rose returning to the TARDIS as a conscious decision, bags packed and ready for adventure, is adorable.  The show implies that certain people are just made to be companions to the Doctor, and Rose is one of them.

Dalek: It was an interesting choice to introduce the Dalek as sympathetic and pitiful, and at the same time one of the most brutal killers on the show.  And at the same time, it’s still a ridiculous-looking thing with a toilet plunger for an arm.

The Long Game: Hey! That’s Simon Pegg!  He looks weird with blond hair!  Hi Simon Pegg!  I’m waving at the TV!

Father’s Day: I only watched this one once.  Couldn’t deal with the feelings.

The Empty Child: Stephen Moffat was so good when he wasn’t allowed to take over the whole show so he actually had to write stories with endings!

The Doctor Dances: And what a glorious ending it is!  Everybody lives, Rose!  Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES!

Boom Town: The Doctor’s dinner with the Slitheen, and their cold deconstruction of each other’s brutality, is one hell of a scene considering the silliness of the setup.

Bad Wolf: Today on Shit You Did Not Expect: a... The Weakest Link crossover?  Really?  Really.  They play The Weakest Link with a penis-headed robot who blasts people with her laser eyes.  And then they’re on Big Brother!  Hey!  My dad worked on that!  I don’t think he was actually part of this episode though.

The Parting of the Ways: Rose doesn’t look or act like she’d make a fearsome demigod.  Which makes it much more powerful when she does.

The Christmas Invasion: “Who is this weird new guy?  I’ll never get used to him being the Doctor!” -me, for about 5 seconds before falling completely and permanently in love with Ten

New Earth: This one is so much fun! Rose and the Doctor are so adorably playful with each other, and then they get to do some incredibly goofy bodyswap acting, and then even Cassandra gets to have a sweet, humanity-affirming ending.

Tooth and Claw: So you’ve got a Scottish actor who normally fakes an English accent, pretending to be faking a Scottish accent, then pretending to forget to fake a Scottish accent and “slipping” into an English accent again.  Meanwhile I can’t even speak with a Massachusetts accent and I was born here.

School Reunion: “I couldn’t bear to watch you grow old and die” is a bullshit excuse for ditching a companion, coming from a guy whose entire personality essentially-dies every time he has a contract dispute or “creative differences.”

The Girl in the Fireplace: “Every time I travel through the time portals, several years pass for Reinette.  Too bad I have no pattern recognition abilities!”

Rise of the Cybermen: I’m glad Mickey finally gets an episode where he’s not just a barely-wanted tagalong.  He was on the verge of becoming the Xander Harris of this show.

The Age of Steel: Noel Clarke’s “I’m two people” acting is so good!  You can see whether he’s Mickey or Ricky in each shot with a glance, just from his facial expression.

The Idiot’s Lantern: ahahaha look at their hair in this episode

The Impossible Planet: I’m glad they came back to the Ood later, because it’s rather unpleasant how the Doctor in this one kinda shrugs off “so these people are keeping slaves, what’re you gonna do, cultural differences and all that.”

The Satan Pit: Making literal Satan the bad guy here is adorable.  It’s like something you’d see on 60s Star Trek, but no, it’s happening in our modern CGI-enhanced post-irony Golden Age Of TV world.  A man in a spacesuit is yelling at a giant red devil that just growls back at him and it’s all very serious drama.  I love this show.

Love & Monsters: This is the one where a girl gets turned into a paving slab but then her boyfriend announces that it’s okay because they’re still having sex.  Yeah.  That happened.

Fear Her: I think this one’s mostly filler

Army of Ghosts: There’s just way too much going on here.  We’ve got ghosts and Cybermen and Torchwood and Daleks and a parallel universe and... anyway I think the concept of using those flimsy paper 3D glasses as a magical item is kind of adorable.

Doomsday: ROSE!  ROSE NO!  COME BACK!  ROOOSE!!!

The Runaway Bride: Catherine Tate is so good!  I’m so glad they brought her back!

Smith and Jones: I love that Martha immediately distinguishes herself as a potential companion by being excited instead of terrified that they’ve been teleported to the moon.  She doesn’t even know how they have air, but she’s already like “sweet! an Adventure!”

The Shakespeare Code: By theater nerds, for theater nerds, probably insufferable to everyone else, but theater nerds have long been comfortable with that.

Gridlock: It feels a little too Socially Responsible how the Doctor and Martha are immediately and violently anti-drug.  This world has patches that bring you magical joy with no apparent side effects, and instead of being curious about it the way they usually are about future technology, they just go straight to “SAY NOPE TO DOPE, KIDS!!!”

Daleks in Manhattan: Having Daleks use the old-school pepperpot design and robot-screamy-voices in the modern series is like putting nipples and a codpiece on the Batsuit in The Dark Knight.  Which is to say, it’s brilliant and I love it.

Evolution of the Daleks: too much plot, I’m sleepy

The Lazarus Experiment: I cannot believe multiple adults saw the wig Mark Gatiss wears in this episode and agreed that would be okay.

42: I really like these self-contained episodes that don’t set up any big arcs or prophesies or personal dramas.  There’s just a ticking clock, a mystery, a spaceship, and a whole lot of running up and down hallways whilst shouting.

Human Nature: Hey, it’s Jojen Reed as an uncanny psychic child!  And Viserys Targaryen as a sadistic upper-class brat!

The Family of Blood: Man, the Doctor really dicked Martha over with this one.  “You’re going to be a domestic servant, because you’re black!  And I’m going to turn myself into an old-timey racist who doesn’t know who you are!  And yet somehow you’re supposed to be in charge of making sure I carry out all my plans!”

Blink: This is a perfect episode of television.

Utopia:💖😍🥰😘 jack harkness i love you 😘🥰😍💖

The Sound of Drums: “Menacing goofiness” is a strange place for an actor to aim, but damn if John Simm doesn’t hit it.

Last of the Time Lords: “I’ve been traveling around the world, fomenting resistance and spreading hope... in the idea that the Doctor is magic and can fix everything by himself.  That’s what resistance to fascism is, right?  Just throwing all your resources in with a different all-powerful authority-father-savior figure?”

Voyage of the Damned: Giving the Doctor a one-off temporary companion, and expecting people to care about her as much as Rose or Martha, doesn’t really work.  “Oh no, she’s dying.  Not whatserface. Oh no.”

Partners in Crime: I love that they’re giving the Doctor a companion who doesn’t have any kind of psychosexuromantic entanglement with him, but is really just a friend.  I love that they’re giving the Doctor a companion who’s (by actors’ ages, at least) older than him.  ...Oh shit, is it bad that these are the same one?

The Fires of Pompeii: “I wish we could save the people of Pompeii, but I am powerless to change this part of history... oh wait, no, I’ll save this one random family on a whim.  Guess I could change history after all!  Sorry, other 20,000 people who are still getting volcanoed to death!”

Planet of the Ood: “The companion is the Doctor’s conscience” is always true, but Donna really owns it.  She spares no time for pretending that “oh but what if the Ood are supposed to be slaves” is an interesting argument.

The Sontaren Strategem: Another one of those “too much plot for me” episodes.  I’m a simple man; just give me a monster and a hallway to run down.

The Poison Sky: ditto

The Doctor’s Daughter: It’s weird that they got married in real life.  Like, their actual age difference is within the half-plus-seven rule, and she wasn’t even really his daughter daughter on the show, but, like, it’s still a little tiny bit weird.

The Unicorn and the Wasp: I guess if I read Agatha Christie books I would understand some of these references?

Silence in the Library: Holy shit, this one is scary.  I don’t hide behind the couch often watching Doctor Who, but... “Hey, who turned out the lights?”

Forest of the Dead: River’s speech about “when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call, everybody lives” is self-indulgent Stephen Moffat hooey and a blatant repeat from “The Doctor Dances” but I’ve got goosebumps anyway.

Midnight: Wow.  You don’t really expect to be using the phrase “a gut-punch of an episode” about the same series that was just playing Detective Funtimes With Agatha Christie, but this was a gut-punch of an episode.

Turn Left: I’ve rewatched a lot of these, but I couldn’t watch this one more than once because I felt so sad about Wilfred. Something in his performance is just wrenching.

The Stolen Earth: I couldn’t watch this one more than once because it’s hard to summon up the energy to follow the “let’s throw everything that’s ever happened onto the show into this stew” plotline.

Journey’s End: HOW DARE YOU DO DONNA LIKE THAT.  HOW DARE YOU.

The Next Doctor: Hey!  That’s not Matt Smith!  I thought it was gonna be Matt Smith.

Planet of the Dead: The Doctor without a permanent companion is always an uncomfortable dynamic.  Both because he needs a conscience/foil/audience-surrogate, and because otherwise we have to go through the “the Doctor is the perfect boyfriend who always breaks your heart” narrative all over again every damn episode.

The Waters of Mars: I like when the Doctor isn’t a good person.  When he gets all arrogant and inhuman and at moments even sinister, that’s far more interesting than when he’s a straightforward hero.

The End of Time: Look, I loved David Tennant’s run on this show.  He’s my favorite Doctor and my imaginary boyfriend.  If there’s anyone I don’t mind watching get a bit self-indulgent, it’s Ten.  But even from this perspective, I think it was not a good idea to let him spend a half hour dying while crying piteously and also somehow touring his entire history on the show.  It really was not.

The Eleventh Hour:  This feels like the first episode of an entirely new show.  There’s very little in characters or plotlines (or writers or producers) connecting it to anything that happened before.  The sense of a fresh start is nice, but this literally is not the same show I enjoyed before.

The Beast Below: Oh.  It’s a space whale.  That’s cool I guess.  This show is okay and everything, but there’s no way I would have really gotten into it if I’d started watching here.

Victory of the Daleks: Upon reading the Wikipedia summary of this episode, I realized that I had, in fact, watched it.

The Time of Angels: “Blink” was, as I said, perfect.  But not because the Angels are the greatest enemy ever devised; they’re creepy and all, but most of the fun in “Blink” comes from the meticulously satisfying construction of the time loops.  Taking that element out, and just making the Angels into generic boogeymen, was a terrible idea.

Flesh and Stone: Oh god, there’s so many mediocre Eleven episodes.  Don’t get me wrong, Matt Smith is great.  I don’t blame him.  But I’m just not feeling the energy to go through every one of these damn things anymore.

[...]

Let’s Kill Hitler: This is the one that finally defeated me.  I wasn’t really offended, just... tired.  Things had gotten so wrapped up in complicated portentous chosen-savior-of-everything plots and we couldn’t have even one episode anymore that was just a normal time travel adventure.  I think about halfway through here, I gave up on Doctor Who.

Oh well.  There’s still time to come back to it if I want.  And we’ll always have “Blink.”

Oh So Tempting ~ A Markiplier Ego Fanfic

THIS IS A SUPER SNAZZY ANON PROMPT WHICH I AM SUPER EXCITED TO WRITE BECAUSE I'M WRITING TWO EGOS THAT HAVEN'T INTERACTED IN MY FICS BEFORE! LET'S DO IT!

TAGGING: @bingy-switch and @yandere-ipli-ler

Yandere was very proud of herself, and for good reason. She had just baked the most beautiful, warm, delicious double chocolate cookies with mini marshmallows melted on top of them. One for each and every ego, all well calculated and all perfect. Of course, Yan had extra ingredients in case of errors so she knew she could make more later if anyone wanted more, but for the moment her first batch looked to be immaculate. She had just taken the cookies off their cooling racks and put them on a decorative platter on the kitchen counter, before scooting briefly to go and put her apron in the laundry basket.

This, my dear friends, is where things get interesting.

Yandere had intended for these sweet treats to be a surprise, and so far her plan had been going smoothly....until the scent of cookies traversed down a few corridors to where Bing's sensors picked up the scent. Bing, of course, had no choice but to find the source of the sweet chocolatey scent since he may or may not have tuned his sensors to detect sweet consumables more acutely than other scents. So, when Bing ambled into the kitchen with an eager nose and eager eyes....his jaw dropped when he saw the platter of cookies. There were so many....they were still warm....and they were all unattended. Bing couldn't help himself....he had to try one.

It was the best cookie that Bing had ever had in his life. It melted in the mouth, Bing's sensors were almost overwhelmed by the delectable flavours, textures and warmth that came from the sumptuous snack. So....Bing had another....and another. His eyes were bright and he couldn't stop grinning as he reached for cookie number four....but that one he did NOT get to eat.

'.....and just what....do you think....you're doing?'

Bing gulped....he knew that cool voice. That cool, steady voice that was always a prelude to somebody getting absolutely fucked up. With cookie still in hand, Bing turned around to face her, to face Yandere. Her hands were at her sides and were twitching, her jaw was clenched, and her eyes darted over the scene before her frantically. She wasn't upset, she could make more cookies after all....but it was the principle. The lack of forethought, the assumption that the cookies that she worked hard on for EVERYONE were just free to be taken. The glow of Bing's amber eyes paled in comparison to the fire in Yandere's, and his voice was far shakier too.

'.....t-...t-t-....j-just.....I-I....t-testing....uhm....'

Bing gulped and hastily put down the cookie he was holding, shivering as Yandere got closer and closer to him. Her upper lip was quivering as she growled.

'Would it have pained you....to simply ASK before you took? These were meant to be for everybody, including you!'

Bing was quivering, hugging himself as he started to feel honestly really bad about what he'd done; he stammered more as he looked to Yan with true, strong remorse in his eyes.

'I-I'm s-so sorry Yan, I-I-I don't know wh-why I did it! P-Please c-can you forgive m-me?'

Yandere honestly had to fight the fond look that was threatening to develop, she wanted to remain intimidating whilst at the same time she didn't want Bing to feel TOO bad. So she settled for giving him the subtlest of smiles, just to let him know her anger wasn't in too much earnest. Then her authoritative mode reared its head as she stood before Bing.

'Perhaps I'll forgive you....but....I have conditions.'

Bing felt like a weight had left his shoulders at the sight of that smile, but then he quickly nodded and became as attentive as possible; he was ready to do absolutely anything and everything to make all of this right!

'Y-Yes o-of course, a-anything you want just name it!'

Bing had his head cocked to the side as he wrung his hands together, making him look almost too adorable to handle as his eagerness embodied him. Yandere hummed in thought as she looked Bing up and down, obviously he had to be punished....and Yan smirked and mused in her reply.

'Well, first off you will clean the kitchen work surfaces and the oven before I get to work replacing the cookies you ate. After those are done then you can clean up the kitchen once more, making sure that you do the dishes to perfection....'

Bing nodded enthusiastically as he listened to Yan, knowing he would be able to do all those things with ease without overexerting himself or making any errors. His enthusiasm spurred him to babble a little.

'I-I'll d-do all of that p-perfectly I swea-'

Bing gasped and halted his spiel when Yan held up one of her hands, as a signal for silence. The crimson haired ego stepped closer to the jittery android until they were very nearly nose to nose, so that her next purr had no risk of being unheard.

'I'm sure you will...but before all of that....as compensation for the extra hard work I am going to have to put in with the extra baking, I need to de-stress first. So....I am going to tickle your bare, hypersensitive feet for as long as I please....and you will NOT stop me. Is that understood?'

An amber blush appeared on Bing's cheeks almost immediately as he processed Yandere's words....his feet were so deathly ticklish, and his reactions were always so wild and embarrassing. A punishment indeed. Bing could already feel the flusteredness creeping up on him, especially with Yan smirking at him like he was her prey. However....he knew that he deserved this....so he nodded, meekly mumbling.

'....I-I....I understand....'

Yandere gasped and giggled rather sadistically, and wasted no time in beckoning Bing over to the couch in the adjacent living room. Before Bing knew it he was lying on his back with his socked feet in Yandere's lap....he couldn't escape what was coming.

'Good boy....'

Bing whimpered at Yandere's croon, watching with wide orange eyes as he was stripped of his socks; he let out a breathy, surprised gasp when a well-manicured nail dragged up one of his soles.

'A-Ahah!'

Yandere nibbled her bottom lip with another sadistic giggle, happily now trapping Bing's ankles between her legs as her sadistic nails raked up and down Bing's poor, defenceless, ticklish soles. Yandere was starting to feel glad at Bing's actions.

'Oh this will de-stress me so perfectly....'

Yandere sighed with a contented grin as she watched Bing squeal, jump, and descend into crackly, hysterical giggles at the tickle treatment; the amber glow on his cheeks was also getting darker and darker by the second.

'AHAHAHA NOHO-OHMYHECK YOHOUR NAHAILS!'

Bing's eyes were as wide as they could go in shock from how tickly it all was; Yandere merely giggled once more.

'I know, aren't they pretty? So sharp and perfect for tickling naughty thieves like you!'

Yandere cooed, adoring how Bing couldn't hold back his ticklish squeals and sweet, adorable little babbles.

'IHIHIHI'M SAHAHARRY YAHAN!'

Yandere chuckled, as sweet as Bing's desperate apology was, it was WAY too soon to stop. She elected to spontaneously scratch nice and hard at the android's heels, her crimson lips spreading into a sneer as she locked eyes with him.

'Oh you certainly will be when I'm through with you.'

Bing let out a wondrous snort before hurrying to hide his face in his hands out of embarrassment, his wild, rampant giggling never stopping for a moment. Also, his cheeks were transitioning from amber to a rather lovely orange as he cried desperately.

'DOHOHON'TTEHEASEME!'

Yan raised an amused eyebrow at seeing Bing hide away so cutely, whilst also noticing him scrunch up his feet as tight as he could. She narrowed her eyes at the sensitive feet before her, before ruthlessly scratching deep into those ticklish wrinkles.

'....I hope you weren't trying to order me about Bingy....you wouldn't want me to prolong this to teach you a lesson, would you Bingy?'

Yandere's tone of voice during this particular reply was a little different....it was higher pitched and sharp with an underlying air of danger to it. That tone and the nickname combined told Bing that he had to be extremely careful, because he was on thin ice with his sadistic tickler. Amidst his cackles though, he thankfully managed to remember his manners.

'NONONOHOHO IHIHI WAHASN'T IHI WOHOULD NEVEHER!!'

Despite the tickling making him want to fight back and cry out censored language, he knew that politeness would be the best route in terms of earning mercy. Yandere smirked at Bing, adoring how desperate he was to stay on his good side. Her nails dug evilly into Bing's wrinkled soles as she purred with dangerous narrowed eyes.

'Of course you wouldn't....because you're a good boy, aren't you? You're a good boy who does what he's told, aren't you?'

Bing nodded frantically, whimpering into a couch pillow he held at his chest as his cackles got higher and higher pitched the longer the tickling went on for.

'YEHEHEHES AHAHA IHI'LL DOHO WHAHATEVER YOHOU SAHAY!!'

....Yandere was going to make Bing regret saying that. She giggled as ideas swarmed through her excited mind, whilst stopping the onslaught so that Bing could recover a little. Yandere watched Bing cutely gasp and blink frantically, before musing.

'Will you indeed....will you really?'

Bing looked to Yandere, and gulped when he saw the sadistic smile on her face. Nevertheless, he nodded, but was tensed with flustered embarrassment.

'I-Ihi prohomise....'

Yandere's sadistic smile now spread into a frankly feral smirk.

'Well in that case....uncurl and spread your toes....and keep them that way until I tell you otherwise....'

Yandere winked and giggled as she saw Bing's face practically glow orange as his eyes widened at hearing what she was asking of him. Bing had to take a few breaths to compose himself as his toes twitched....but he soon complied. Internally, he was actually rather excited to undertake the challenge. Thus, Bing nervously smiled as he spread his toes, exposing the undersides and his toes stems perfectly. This allowed Yandere to take a single manicured nail and start tracing under his toes.

'You must be such a strong boy....I know that this will tickle so bad for you. The undersides of your toes are always hidden usually, always safe....but not anymore....'

Yandere crooned with a joyful smile as she watched Bing start to whimper, biting his lip to repress desperate gasps as he shuddered with the effort to keep his toes uncurled. Yandere was right, it did tickle so....so bad. Just that simple tickly tracing was enough to have Bing almost breaking.

'P-Pleeeheheee-a-ahaha....n-nohoho....'

Yandere chuckled as Bing weakly giggled, blinking away saline fluid from his eyes as he whined too. Yandere simply traced and stroked the undersides of Bing's toes stems with her nails....nice and carefully....nice and slowly. There was no little hidden spot un-teased.

'Poor Bingy baby....so ticklish and exposed and desperate....I bet you want mercy huh?'

Bing nodded frantically, giggling and twitching and blushing hard as Yandere's feigned sympathy flustered him even more.

'Y-Yahahan....p-p-pleheheassssee....Ihican'ttahakeit.....'

Bing's voice was so pleading that it made Yandere's heart melt. Seeing him so blushy and desperate and wide eyed with flustered innocence just made Yandere want to hold him close and adopt him so she could protect him for ever and ever. However....the sadistic part of Yandere still had a little thing she wanted to do.

'Well in that case....I may have mercy. But....only if you can convince me how sorry you are for your actions.'

As Yandere continued her tracing, Bing's vocals almost broke the sound barrier with how fast his desperate, squeaky babbles came out of his mouth.

'I-Ihihi'm s-soho sohohorry, I-I shohould have thohought! I-I knohow you w-w-wohorked hahard ahand I'm s-soho sahahaharry!'

Yandere hummed, but smiled because honestly she had not expecting an apology so sweet and genuine from the adorable android. Of course, Yandere immediately had mercy and released Bing's feet, which Bing didn't hesitate to scrunch tight with a gasp.

'I forgive you my little orange blossom.'

Bing whined into a cushion, but smile and mewled when Yandere pulled him into a tight cuddle; he was also happy at that particular nickname but you didn't hear that from me. Yandere rubbed the android's back, giggling fondly at how he snuggled so instinctively.

'....y-you're so good at tickling a-and baking.....'

Yandere grinned at the androids little mumble, and purred smugly.

'I know.'

Yandere giggled as Bing snorted and giggled, before Yandere proceeded to cup Bing's cheeks and pinch them as she continued.

'Well since you ate those cookies I might as well ask you for feedback.'

Bing squeaked and batted at Yandere's hands, before replying with a sweet smile.

'They were awesome, y-you should be super proud.'

Bing let out a quiet, content sigh when he saw Yandere smile and bow her head bashfully at the compliment, and Bing made sure to give her many more when they went to bake more cookies together. They ended up baking around three more batches but c'mon let's be real, there's never anything bad about an abundance of cookies.

Sayaka was walking along the hallway, she heard rumours Jabami Yumeko causing trouble again, and not only that!

Rumours about Ririka and Yumeko was competing against each other for Mary’s attention.

Huffing at her own frustration.

‘At least no is taking Kirari’ Sayaka thought in her mind.

Not particular paying attention to her walking, she came to a stop, as she notice someone stood in front of her. She moved to the right, the person also moved to the right.

Moving back to the left, the person also moved to the left.

Frustrated that she won’t get to her destination, Sayaka finally look up at the person who’s blocking.

It was a guy from her class, she doesn’t particularly remember his name, but she knew he was the most popular guy in her grade.

Always swarmed by girls squealing around him.

Sayaka also noticed, people around her had also stopped and staring at them. Guys excitedly cheering and girls staring with jealousy.

The guy showed his most charming smile, that could sway any girl, but not Sayaka.

She’s wasn’t completely interested in him, as she had someone else in mind already.

“Igarashi Sayaka.” The guy started.

“Yes, can i help you.” Sayaka wanted to end as quickly as possible.

Sayaka was never the one to like being the centre of the attention.

So she put her most appropriate fake smile ever.

The guy grinned, as if he had affected Sayaka with her charms.

“You are the most beautiful girl I’ve in my whole life, I think it’ll be in your favour that you date me.” The guy flipped his hair as if he was Justin Bieber.

“EW!” Sayaka immediately thought.

With quick follow up people cheering and whistling at his confession.

This guy didn’t even have the decency to say ‘I like you and please go out with me.’ No, it was, ‘I’m good looking, you should date me because I said so.’

Such arrogance, was a major turn off for Sayaka, she wanted to hurl at his confession.

Keeping up with her fake smile. “I’m sorry, but I must politely decline.”  

You could hear guys and girls loudly saying “What!” and “Is she out of her mind!”. Murmurs amongst the crowd.

“Surely you are mistaken.” The guy tried to cover up the embarrassment, lightly laughing as he stared at the crowd.

He had never been rejected in his life, and he isn’t going to let that happen now!

“I’m not mistaken and if you so please, I’m going to be late.” Sayaka spoke.

As Sayaka moved around him to leave, she was stopped by the guy forcefully grabbing her wrist, bringing up in the air, as he pulled her close to him.

Inches away from his face, someone could easily mistaken him initiating a kiss. Sayaka could feel her wrist hurting from his hold.

“No. I will not have you reject me in front of all these people.” The guy angrily whispered to her, not letting the crowed hear him.

“Let go.” Sayaka whispered with the same amount of threat.

Sayaka was in a bad position, she was already 10 minute late from this stupid delay, as she was meant to be in the Student Council meeting.

“Now, how about I give you a kiss, than i’ll let you go.” The guy spoke smirking.

Sayaka wanted to electrocute him so bad with her taser.

But she remembered, she left it on the charging dock in the President’s room.

Sayaka clenched her eyes, as the guy lean towards her for a kiss.

“Ara, Sayaka. I’ve been looking for you.” a sweet like voice spoke in the air, somewhat familiar

Sayaka turned to the attention of the voice.

There, stood the Student Council President looking murderously at them.

Kirari look at his hand on Sayaka’s wrist, her chest tug an uncomfortable feeling.

Sayaka could feel the guy holding her wrist, slightly shaking, but that was short lived as he held her tighter, pulling her into a tight embrace.

“Why, hello President.” The guy smirk.

He must be pretty brave for what his doing to her secretary.

Whispers in the crowd got slightly louder.

“Igarashi-san and I were just having a talk. No need to look so murderous in those eyes.” The guy mocked.

Sayaka tried to pull herself away from him, but his embrace was too strong for her to brake his grasp.

“I must ask you release my Secretary.” Kirari presented a fake smile.

“No. It’s only fair I get time with my girlfriend.” The guy smirked.

“Girlfriend?” Kirari glared at his words.

The uncomfortable feeling in chest was tighter than before.

“She belongs to me, surely I get to say who’s girlfriend Sayaka is. And that person is none other than me.” Kirari challenged

“Oh really, I’m sure you haven’t even kissed her yet.”

Kirari glared.

The guy took it as a sign, as he turned to Sayaka to give her first kiss on the lips. Seeing what’s coming. Sayaka was finally able to pull out of his embrace.

A loud *smack* echoed through the hallway, shocking everyone, including Kirari and the guy himself.

Sayaka had hit him so loud on his right cheek it left a bright pink mark, leaving the crowd into a long silence.

No one, dared to speak.

“You are the least of all people that gets to call me their girlfriend!” Sayaka loudly yelled. “I will not have you claim me as your Nobel Prize!” Sayaka finally let out all her frustrating in one go.

Kirari stood, smiling at her secretary. She’s proud of how strong Sayaka become.

Sayaka’s tears slowly building up.

“And you!” looking at Kirari. Now her anger was pointed at the president.

Kirari lift both of her hands up, as if she’s surrendering. ‘It must be her time of the month’ Kirari thought, as she stood not daring to speak.

“You could’ve help me, instead of standing there and watched!”

Busted!

Damn, Sayaka and her ability to notice things around her easily.

Sayaka turned and stormed off, tears dripping down her face as she walk towards the student council room. Leaving the crowd, the guy who confessed and Kirari hanging in silence.

—-

There was an awkward silence between Kirari and Sayaka during the Student Council meeting. Everyone could feel the anger coming off of Sayaka towards the President.

After the meeting, Sayaka was doing her usual duties in the President’s room.

Then, the door opened.

Sayaka ignored the Kirari, as she refused to greet the President as she walked in.

Kirari sighed.

She walked towards Sayaka and sat next to her on the couch, rather than the opposite side. Putting her arms on Sayaka’s shoulder.

Kirari proceeded to message her shoulders.

“Look, I’m sorry if I made you angry.” Sayaka had never heard this soft and quiet tone from the President.

Sayaka finally stopped her writing, as she look at Kirari without turning her head. Signalling she has her attention.

“I didn’t like the way he held you, and claimed you as if you were his.”

“Then why-” Kirari cut off Sayaka.

“I didn’t want you to feel as if I didn’t think you had what it takes to take care of yourself.  And I know I may have… *mumble* let my jealousy take a hold me *mumble*” Kirari mumbled through her last sentence.

Even with all the mumble, Sayaka can still figure out what her President is saying. Sayaka showed a genuine smile as she turned body to face her President.

“Well…” Sayaka finally turned to face her President.

Her anger had long disappeared.

“You know, I was never his in the first place.” Sayaka spoke quietly.

“He came out of no where, and demanded I date him! You know how much I hate arrogant and ego hard headed people.” Sayaka reasoned.

“Then… Do you forgive me?” Kirari questioned.

“There is nothing to forgive. It should be me asking forgiveness for going off at you.” Sayaka spoke in regret.

“Than you can make it up to me by becoming mine.” Kirari smirked.

Sayaka felt her face getting hot, as her blush crept to her face.

“W-w-wasn’t I already yours?…” Sayaka questioned as she looked away to hide her deeper blush.

Kirari’s eyes widened at Sayaka’s words, than smirked shortly followed.

“I didn’t know you wanted to be mine so eagerly” Kirari whispered in her ear as she leaned in.

Sayaka shivered at Kirari’s words, her breath touching her ear.

Kirari used her right hand, placing under Sayaka’s chin, forcing her to face her.

Sayaka could see her own reflecting in Kirari’s bright blue eyes.

Sayaka can see Kirari’s eyes glancing down at her lips than back to her eyes, as Kirari inch closer and closer. Just a millimetre before Kirari can close the gap.

Sayaka slowly closed eyes, as she prepared for what Kirari was about to do…

*BAM!* Doors slam open!

“President!” Runa loudly scream in excitement. “There are rumours about you and your precious secretary, are finally dating!” loudly talking without noticing what’s in front of her.

Runa came to a halt, as she notice her President not responding.

Finally looking what’s in front of her.

The President, was leaning over a very flush secretary.

God! Sayaka just wanted to bury herself in a hole.

Kirari was giving the most murderous eyes ever to Runa for ruining the moment! At this point Kirari was thinking of feeding Runa to the wolves.

“Ah-A-Ahahaha…” Runa suddenly feel very sweaty. “Please continue…” Rune slam the door closed as she turned to leave.

Kirari turning her attention back to Sayaka.

“Now, where were we up to.” Kirari grinned, as she used her left hand, gripping Sayaka’s left thigh possessively, before Kirari finally closed the gap between their lips.

Sayaka felt the hot and sweatiness in their kiss, as Kirari expressed her possessiveness over Sayaka. Turning Sayaka slightly on.

Sayaka knew, the President wasn’t ever going to let her leave.

:: 4th Anniversary Special Story - Uesugi ::

--

New Year banquet has taken place in the castle main hall. Everybody is in party spirit, holding up sake cup to each other. The atmosphere has risen up more and more as time goes by.

Kanetsugu : 「I want to humbly express New Year Congratulation.」

Still in the uproar, Kanetsugu take a chance to formally greet everyone.

Kenshin : 「Ahaha. Thank you. This year too, please do take care all of us.」

Kanetsugu : 「Same here. Please accomplish government affairs this year without fail......」

Kenshin : 「Ah, that's right...There're New Year's gifts for our children. Come here, Everyone.」

Kanetsugu : 「Kenshin-sama......!」

Kenshin had sensed it so before New Year party will take a turn into Kanetsugu's sermon, he called out for retainers's children.

Ai : 「Wowwwwww......Thank you very much.」

Ai is the very first of those children lining up, receiving kagami-mochi and little something such as toy.

There in the queue, a familiar figure was lining up unnoticeably.

Yoshichi : 「Kakki. Tsugutsugu. Come! Come!」

Kageie : 「Doesn't it look like Yocchan's doing something very interesting.」

Kagetsugu : 「......Don't tell me. You wanna blend in with children to get New Year's gifts?」

Seeing Kageie was interested made Kagetsugu feel somehow exasperated.

Yoshichi's still waving his hand calling the two over.

Kanetsugu : 「Yoshichi...What are you planning to get?」

Kanetsugu expresses his anger after finding out that Yoshichi was lining up in the queue too.

Kanetsugu : 「Don't you think it's shameful doing this when only children were called.」

Yoshichi : 「But brother...I want New Year's gift too.」

Yoshichi still desperately complain although he was struck by Kanetsugu's wrath.

Kenshin : 「Is that so......Well then. Let's use up those spare gifts, shall we...Kageie, Kagetsugu too. Here. Come. Come. 」

With Kenshin kindly smile, Yoshichi's eyes shine glitteringly.

Yoshichi : 「Yaaay! Spare New Year's gifts? What is that?」

Yoshichi jumps in delight. Kageie and Kagetsugu are also curious so decided to follow suit.

.

.

Kageie : 「.........Here?」

Kenshin proceeds his way to the treasury.

Kagetsugu : 「Don't tell me.........」

Kenshin : 「Pick one you like...as a New Year's gift from me.」

Yoshichi is now obviously discouraged as someone would predict this to happen but Kenshin's friendly grin doesn't seem to take no for the answer. They need to choose something...

Kageie : 「What a treasury...There's actually nothing, isn't it.」

Yoshichi : 「I'm searching......I may have find something valuable at some point...in somewhere...unknown after all...」

Contrast to Kageie, Yoshichi's desperately hunting down for something.

Kagetsugu : 「..........」

Although Kagetsugu breathe out a sigh. He also made an effort to search for some preferable thing in silent.

Kanetsugu : 「It's just early New Year. What are you all messing up in here? Want to add more to my work?」

Kanetsugu raises up his voice angrily, eyeing the already disordered treasury.

Kenshin : 「They didn't scatter anything but finding something they want.」

Kanetsugu : 「The only person who would want something in this room is YOU.」

Kageie : 「That declaration...Well, I can't agree more.」

Kagetsugu : 「Indeed.」

Yoshichi : 「Wait...What about this? It's something that seems to be good...」

Yoshichi picked up a package which was tided up neatly so that someone can tell how important it might be.

Kageie : 「That's very secured, isn't it. What's inside.」

Kageie pressed on, Yoshichi laid his hand on the package and about to open it.

Kenshin : 「Ah...Sorry...Only that one, I absolutely can't give out as a gift.」

Kenshin say apologetically.

Kanetsugu : 「It's not something significant anyway.」

Kagetsugu : 「I'm curious now.」

Kageie : 「Yeah. Same thought.」

Yoshichi : 「I'm extremely curious!.....Can I open it!?」

Kenshin : 「It can't be help then...just take a look at it, ok?」

Earning Kenshin's approval, Yoshichi untied the package and finally reveal the box inside.

Yoshichi : 「This is...last year......」

What inside the box is everyone's New Year first calligraphy from last year.

Seems like Kenshin took a very great care keeping it.

Kageie : 「Speaking of New Year first calligraphy...What did I write then......」

While wondering that in mind, he picked one of those papers.

Kagetsugu : 「I can't remember it too.」

Yoshichi : 「Ah. The top one is my brother's...『I can't be off guard with Kenshin-sama's control.』」

Kageie : 「Hehhh~ Tsugutsugu's is...『I will eat delicious Kusamochi.』...Isn't this too much for a joke?」

Kagetsugu : 「Kageie's... 『I will sleep nicely.』...Do you think that you're better than me?」

Kageie : 「That reminds me...We wrote this while we were drunk in New Year banquet, right.」

Yoshichi : 「Mine is...『I will become like my brother.』and Kenshin-sama's is...『Everyday, a stroll.』」

Kanetsugu : 「You have kept something like this?」

Kanetsugu was clearly irritated.

Kenshin : 「That's right. It's very very important, you see.」

Kenshin was not bothered one bit. He break a calm smile then reply smoothly without any hesitation.

Kenshin : 「It's considered as a very valuable thing...so let us write first calligraphy of this year too.」

After hearing Kenshin's announcement, they're all staring at one another.

Kanetsugu : 「Well, we are in each other's company again after all.」

Yoshichi : 「This year, I'll think of my ambition seriously.」

Kageie : 「Seriously, huh...」

Kagetsugu : 「Right......」

Each of them pick up the brush with serious expression, writing down first calligraphy of the year.

.

.

Kenshin : 「Are you all done? What did you write this year I wonder...」

One by one, they take turns showing their calligraphies.

Kageie : 「Mine is...『I will not lose to anyone.』」

Kagetsugu : 「『Become Stronger.』」

Yoshichi : 「Mine is...『I will protect the castle until the very end.』」

Kanetsugu : 「Mine is... 『Protect the Uesugi.』」

Although what were written are all different but each of them engaged their passionate hearts all the same.

Kenshin : 「If we can achieve our ambitions. Let's get New Year's gift then.」

Yoshichi : 「YES! I can do this! I'll do my best!」

Kenshin smile sweetly. While Kageie's grinning and Kagetsugu's watching the situation goes on silently, Yoshichi is the only one who overly excited and that made Kanetsugu again seems so exasperated.

Yoshichi : 「Urgh...and...what about this year's gift......」

Just happen to notice that he still hasn't received any gift this year. Yoshichi turns towards Kenshin.

Kenshin : 「I'm looking forward to next year...」

Yoshichi : 「How come!? Unacceptable!」

Yoshichi's shoulders dropped down rejected, however Kenshin's sweet smile never falter.

Kageie : 「Don't be sad, Yocchan. This year you can take stones as a gift, isn't that right.」

Kagetsugu : 「Be patient until next year, alright.」

Kanetsugu : 「Please devote yourself as much as you wanted it.」

While Kageie and Kagetsugu consoled Yoshichi, Kanetsugu relentlessly made those comment.

Kenshin : 「Ahahaha. Well, seeing everyone's ambition is a very pleasant feeling and I also got more treasure now.」

Kenshin looks at everyone's calligraphy and smiles happily.

Yoshichi : 「Anyway...What did Kenshin-sama write?」

With a puff, Kenshin holds out his own paper.

Kenshin : 「Mine is...『Spend time happily with everyone in my family.』」

When Kenshin mentioned the word 『Family』, they four all knew that included them and every last one of the Uesugi's retainers.

When they look at each other, smile is an identical thing which suddenly shown on their faces.

Kanetsugu : 「To accomplish Kenshin-sama's ambition also need our great effort, isn't it.」

Kageie : 「But that is not a bad thing.」

Kagetsugu : 「I agree.」

Yoshichi : 「Let's do this, everyone.」

With this fresh feeling, all hearts melted as one.

Seeing such 『Family』 takes shape, deepen in spirit. Kenshin smile more and more.

grocery shopping with svt

a/n: i!! went grocery shopping with my friends and suddenly got inspiration lol enjoy sorry the lengths are uneven AHAHAHA ( can be idol or non idol au )

Seungcheol

i feel he kinda tries to get only what’s on the shopping list

but he fails miserably at it

“we came here for eggs and rice only!”

“but the ramyeon... is on sale...”

carries all the shopping bags because he insists that he should do it

and even if he doesn’t insist, it kinda becomes the norm for him to carry

Jeonghan

he doesn’t go grocery shopping until you’re down to the very last ramyeon packet or the last cup of orange juice

when he realises, he immediately rushes out with you to go shopping

like you’re just chilling and suddenly

BAM

“we need to go shopping tonight.”

“sure”

he tries to buy as much as possible in one go so he doesn’t need to go again so soon??

y’all struggle a little carrying so many bags back to the dorm/house/apartment but he insists it’s better to struggle at once than to go all the time

yes i really had to use this gif for jeonghan

Jisoo

so you two go shopping pretty normally

it’s nothing super special

but he likes to shop with one hand holding the basket and the other holding yours

soft bb i love shua i mean who doesnt

and you guys talk about your day as you shop

about the cute cat you petted on your way to school/work

or about the new project hes working on

or sometimes you even complain about those stupid classmates/coworkers or at how annoying it is that the train was delayed

and as you’re complaining, he quietly adds some strawberries and chocolate into the basket

because the moment you go home, he rushes to make some nice strawberry chocolate desserts because he knows you love them

and he just wants to make you feel better and make sure you end your day well!

and after a delicious dinner that you may or may not have cooked together,

you two fall asleep satisfied with your tummy filled, and cuddled together under the warm blanket

Jun Hui

sneaky boi he makes sure you two eat before shopping so you’re not hungry and impulse buy

psychological stuff yo

he’s not cheap he just wants to stick to the list

because if not i feel he just impulse buys a lot ;;

you: hey im gonna go grocery shopping tomorrow, you wanna come?

him: !!! yes!! but after dinner

you: sure sounds good

it usually works pretty well

just that sometimes he gets so excited about dinner with you that you two completely forget to go grocery shopping 

smh cuties

it ends up you have to go on a completely different day

even then sometimes he makes a booking for a nice restaurant that’s nowhere near a supermarket

and the process repeats

but how can you blame him? he just loves spending time with you

hes a cute dork hes the best

Soonyoung

hes the one who wants you to sit in the trolley and pretends its a racecar

going nYOOOOOOM down the aisles and drifting to the next one

you kinda fear for your life

but don’t worry hes got it under control!

for the most part.

there was this one time he accidentally let go of you and you went right into a tower of chocolate powder tins.

it was super embarrassing and no one stops teasing either of you over it.

you two raced in the grocery store a little less after that but still occasionally do have your fun!

Wonwoo

you know the video of the dude making ikea puns with his gf?

yeah that’s wonwoo in the grocery store

and he does it in this really monotonous voice

“hey... do you think we should’ve taken a trolley instead of a basket?”

“hm? why?”

“i don’t think we have mushroom left”

“...”

“...”

his nose scrunches up in his iconic laugh and you have to laugh because hes so adorable!!!!

“but really, i think we need a trolley instead”

Jihoon

the type to go to the grocery store and stand in the freezer aisle for ten minutes in the summer

he’s not browsing he just wants free aircon

hes also the one who sees grocery shopping as a chore the most. :(

if hes alone he tends to just grab what he needs and get out as quickly as possible

but if hes with you he doesn’t mind have to stay a little longer and ponder over which type of ramyeon he wants most that week or which packaging of cola he wants to have today

he wont say it, but if it gives him an excuse to spend a little more time with you, he’ll stay

Ming Hao

the one whos a master at finding discounts and the most “worth-it” item.

you: “let’s just get the 4 pack one...”

hes keying it into his phone calculator

“no no this is better. buy 5 get 1 free”

he just puts it in the trolley and you go with it

you: hm. looks like the cereal price increased a little...

him: the cereal whAT?!??! excuse me who the Fuck decided they can do this

“boi u can buy gucci???? but not a little more pricey cereal????????”

“look ok-”

Mingyu

hes the main reason i wanted to write this ok 

as a man who can cook, he must go grocery shopping once a week

he likes to drag you along

if you’re short he likes to tease you because you can’t reach things

like you’re halfway diving into the icecream freezer because the icecream you want is at the very back and he’ll just be giggling for a bit

of course he helps you in the end what a gentleman

lol jk he puts it even further at the back

because he really loves seeing your cute pout and you hitting him lightly in annoyance

and he really just likes to spend time with you so he drags this on for as long as possible until he finally helps and passes you the icecream you wanted

ugh im so soft for bf!mingyu :(

Seokmin

he does the thing that dude in the vine does where he pronounces everything weirdly

i can see him doing it in his high tone rap voice too

“yo look at these kehloggeh’s frosetitties flakuhs” 

“ras kraspas yo”

i really dont know how to write what hes saying forgive me

and sometimes he will pronounce regular korean words in a really bad foreigner accent??

“당근 구매하자” -> “danggoon gumayhayjya” pardon google translate

overall super fun to shop with and always makes you laugh while shopping

Seungkwan

i feel that... he (like minghao) tries to buy food at a cheaper rate...

to the point he buys wholesale.

he also likes to phone his mom a lot

mama boo knows whats best

whatever she suggests, he will buy straight away, and he’ll make sure to get enough for you too

except cucumber and tomato

he steers very clear of those

Hansol 

the worst at grocery shopping sorry

like you HAVE to go together because if you don’t,

hes just walking around with his headphones in and spacing out while looking for some peanut butter idk (like im sure yall seen the clap choreo video)

cute

when you go shopping together, he makes sure to take out his earphones but he likes to hum a lot when you guys shop

he also likes to talk a lot about new artists he’s into and songs he likes!

and even though it’s been a long day and you had to go shopping or starve,

because it’s his voice, you feel at peace and like all the stress has left you

hes your healing <3

Chan

a little different and cliche this is way longer than expected

you were shopping late at night and realised you wanted to buy some squid for supper

you go to the seafood section and are relieved to see there’s just one left

sp you run to it but you grab it at the same time as some really cute guy

the two of you look at each other for a while in awkwardness but he finally lets go and says “sorry, you can have it”

mc why didnt u talk to him

the next week you went again for shopping but guess what happened at the fruit aisle this time?

the dude from before is there and he grabbed the same pack of blueberries!

he lets you take it once again

and this just keeps happening all the time, even when you try to go at different times??

sometimes he lets you take it sometimes he asks for it claiming “the hyungs will kill me” whatever that means

one day he’s with a friend and the moment they see you, they start walking to you very quickly

??? two cute guys coming closer what they doin

the friend pushes him to you and tells him “ok chan go talk to the cute person”

he very awkwardly goes “hi i’m lee chan and uh... well i think you’re pretty cute. could we go shopping together sometimes?”

he’s nervous and blushing and cute and hoW CAN YOU SAY NO

it’s the start of the cutest relationship

The Great Blank Spot: Greywash

So much goes into creating fanfiction even before the first words hit the paper. And in-depth spotlight on our writers and the process behind their work.

Tell us about your current project.

I'm finishing up the sequel to "Firebird"—or, well, really, the story that "Firebird" is a prequel to. It's called "The Marriage Plot" and it's a fake-fake-marriage story, or an un-arranged marriage story, or something: basically it starts with a political misunderstanding that *looks* like the only way out is going to be Eliot and Quentin getting married. Spoiler: that's not what happens.

The fics are finally posted from The Trials. Did you participate?

No, I came into the fandom after The Trials started, so I missed it, but I'm still reading my way through everyone's submissions and really enjoying them!

What is your current word count?

104,069 words, but I revise/cut/rewrite a lot as I go so that goes up and down.

Do you try to write daily? Do you have a word count or other goals you try to hit for each writing session?

I write every morning for about an hour and a half before work—or, well, I sit and work on fiction for about an hour and a half: sometimes that's freewriting, or reading, or editing. I'm trying to be less focused on output quantity and more on time spent this year, since trying for output goals seems to encourage some not-good strains in my mental health whatsits to go mad with power and make my life suck.

What was the inspiration for this fic?

Ahahahahahah oh dear. Um—the answer to that question is hugely spoilery, so I guess I'll say: the last six lines of dialogue, which sort of ~came to me in a vision~, or whatever, and then... the whole rest of the story sort of... constructed itself around that. But I think I can say that I'd been thinking/obsessing about Fillorian marriage, and how—like, skin-crawlingly horrific I find it as a concept, and *why* I find it so skin-crawlingly horrific, before I started working on "The Marriage Plot," and that definitely—informed the story, let's say.

How do you stay motivated between chapters/stories?

I don't have a huge problem staying motivated... for me it's more that I have SO MUCH STUFF I want to work on, so I have trouble staying focused. I have this little Penny-centric fic that I want to get done before the end of the current fan_flashworks round, so I have like 24 hours, and I also have a Penny/Quentin story that'll go up in the next FFW amnesty, and... possibly one or more *other* stories for FFW amnesties that are either done or mostly done, and I just! I am really bad!! at staying focused on one project.

On the motivation front, though, I will say that a big part of why I don't tend to lose motivation is that I never leave projects "at a good stopping point". This seems really counterintuitive, but it helped me *so* much when I started doing this: I almost always end a writing session by getting to a good stopping point, and then writing 9/10ths of the next sentence or paragraph. I like to have a sentence waiting for me where the ending is obvious but not actually written down, so I open it up the next morning and I'm like, "oh, that's supposed to end, 'with his palm'" or whatever, so I have that really easy in for getting back into the swing of writing.

Did this fic require any research? How much research do you typically do for your fics?

I do do quite a bit of research, but I don't typically do research in advance. I'm, like, the anti-planner, I am *so* bad at planning stories, so I kind of write until I hit a point where I'm like "oh, God, I actually do need to know how you go about getting a marriage license in New York, don't I," and then I spend like three hours on the NY city clerk's office website or whatever. I think the thing where I was looking up how to get a marriage license in New York came up like 30,000 words into this story, or something. And a lot of times I'll {{bracket something I need to look up later, like this}} and then just keep working, and fill it in in less high-value writing time—I do that on my lunch breaks a lot, so I can keep my block writing time in the morning for actually making new words.

Do you typically write ahead or post as you go?

It really depends on the project. Somewhat ironically, I mentioned this on Dreamwidth earlier this morning, but I actually usually kind of hate posting things as WsIP unless I am well ahead and very, very sure I can finish quickly. I got kind of trapped by a multi-year WIP in //Sherlock// fandom, which—I love that story, I just wish I wasn't posting it as a WIP. (Though it also wouldn't be that story if I hadn't posted it as a WIP, so... whatever, que sera sera, et cetera.)

When I was posting "Firebird", I started out with... I think I was drafted five chapters ahead at the start? Six? Maybe? I honestly don't remember, but I do know it rapidly fell to four and then kind of froze there, because I knew I needed to have Ch. 8 *very* nailed down before Ch. 4 went up, because I was back-editing all the way to 4 as I wrote 8. And I didn't want to back-edit live work. But then I hit a like... 9/10ths draft place on 8 and burned through that entire posting cushion *super* fast during the last few days I was finishing 8, because 8 was almost the last thing I finished—I had 9 and 10 almost completely drafted before I finished 8, and that's pretty typical of me, to write sort of medium-out of order. So 9 and 10 went up basically as soon as they were edited, because I didn't have that cushion anymore. But "Firebird" lent itself to WIP posting because it has, you know, like. Plot, and excitement, and some sort of cliffhanger-y bits here and there; "The Marriage Plot" won't be posted as a WIP, because it's very interior and relationship-focused, and it just doesn't lend itself to that treatment. The most I might do on something like that is post it consecutively over a few days just to not have to edit all the HTML on 100k+ of fiction in one go.

How much planning and outlining did you do before you started putting words on paper?

Almost none! Ahahaha. I had a freewritten story outline, but I tend to do all my fiction discovery by writing fiction, so I have to be really willing to try things and toss them out, which is what I do instead of actually outlining. I'm thinking about making a pretty huge change to "The Marriage Plot" right now, actually, and am sketching it out by writing some short stories that happen in the (mostly off-screen) 6-9 months between "Firebird" and "The Marriage Plot," and seeing how things crystallize. So I may be about to toss out like 20k of fiction! I don't know, we'll see!

Has it been pretty smooth sailing or rough waters? When things get rocky, how do you handle needing to rewrite sections or scrap scenes entirely?

Oh, I tooooootally don't mind rewriting. I write really fast but am bad at planning, or well—bad at seeing what it'll take to get the characters to where I need them to be emotionally, so mass rewriting just kind of comes with the territory. I also write in Scrivener, which has a Snapshots feature that makes it much less stressful to hose something—I can always go back and look at a previous version if I want a line or a paragraph or to take it back entirely.

"Well, no," Alice says, and then her mouth twists, tightening up. "I sort of—I told them that they couldn't have Quentin, because he was already engaged."

"What?" Quentin says; and Eliot grabs at Quentin's tipping wine glass, just in time.

"Look, I had to tell them something, all right?" Alice snaps at him. "Sorry, but I didn't think you wanted to get married to some conceited isolationist—"

"To who, Alice?" Margo interrupts; and Alice stops again, and then flushes.

"I had—well, the only way I could think of to convince them was the—well, you know, when Eliot got deposed," Alice says.

"We *both* got deposed," says Margo, tight; and Alice says, "Yes, *yes*, you *did*, but then *you* took the throne and now *Eliot's* on your council, so I told them—"

"You told them," Margo finishes, "that to prevent civil war, I offered my most powerful rival my only virgin son in marriage."

"Well," Alice says. "Basically—yes."

There is a long moment of silence.

"Well," Eliot says, finally. "I'm not sure how anyone could've foreseen *that* one going wrong."
