if terry and daniel got stuck in an elevator together how long would it take before they're making out in the corner
(Sorry I sat on this so long, anon! I was on vacation then went through some stuff. To answer this, I wrote a bit of a drabble. I’m imagining this as a missing scene some time in late season 4 after they’ve already met again! <3 Thank you!!)
Daniel is visibly seething when Terry shows up at the karate board meeting.
It’s not Terry thought his former student would be happy to see him, not after their tense reunion at Miyagi-do. But with Cobra Kai still in the tournament, Terry has every right to attend the meeting. Daniel’s just lucky John didn’t decide to join him. His co-sensei would normally go, but he wanted to give extra lessons to Keene. 
Instead, he gets what feels like a private show of Daniel’s inner cobra struggling to escape. It’s particularly evident when he stands up and exits the room, Daniels’s shoulders carrying more tension than Terry ever thought possible. He follows after into the hallway and watches the line of tension in Daniel’s back while he walks. When he stops at the elevator and pushes the button, he waits for the doors to open, his foot tapping like an angry rabbit. Terry can’t help but smile and is caught in the act as Daniel glances back.
“Are you stalking me now?” Daniel snaps, and his glare is meant to strike fear but does nothing but leave Terry breathless with want.
He does manage to answer after a moment. “Why are you so worried?” Terry inquiries, tilting his head to the side.
Daniel’s mouth twitches, and if he were an animal, he would likely bite. But he rolls his eyes and turns back to watch the doors come open. Terry follows him into the elevator, standing near the buttons, and his former student moves to the farthest corner away, watching him intently. “Floor?” he asks politely and hits the ground level for himself.
“The same,” he mutters and stares forward to avoid eye contact.
Terry can feel himself smirking while the doors close them inside. He counts three seconds before Daniel speaks again. “It’s pathetic that someone at your age has nothing better to do than torture a bunch of teenagers so you and your army buddy relive the glory days when. Shouldn’t you be lounging on some beach waiting for the end instead of teaching karate in some strip mall in Reseda?”
His words are meant to hurt, but Terry is only amused. He knew this would come up eventually. “Does it bother you?” he asks, turning his head to find dark, brown eyes staring back.
“Obviously!” Daniel shouts back, throwing his arms in the air. His voice is rising into nearly a shout, so loud the ding of the elevator is drowned out. “Who wouldn’t be upset by some geriatric psycho messing with the minds of innocent kids?” 
“That’s not what I meant, Danny,” Terry chuckles, stepping closer. Daniel glances down then back up to glare at him. “Does it bother you….that I didn’t come back…for you?”
Daniel’s face darkens instantly. “What?” he scoffs then comes forward, close enough that his swinging hands almost hit Terry in the face. “You’re sick in the head! As if I’d want anything to do with you again…ever!”
Those doe-like eyes are electric, sparking adrenaline and lighting Terry’s blood on fire. He had no idea how much he missed this between them until now. So many years were wasted that he would never get back. His lips are curling up into a smile he cannot restrain, and Daniel’s snarling at him so hard that his teeth are almost visible. “Really?” Terry asks, and Daniel huffs as if to agree. “Then why do I sense some…jealousy, Danny?”
Terry forgets how unpredictable Daniel can be when he grabs him by the front of his shirt, dragging him down until their faces are inches apart. “You,” he starts, the word so laced over with anger there’s almost no coherent beyond a growl, and Terry wants to let him finish or laugh in his face. But he’s too close now, all he can focus on is Daniel’s plush lips and sun-kissed skin. He doesn’t mean to swipe his tongue across his lips or take a deep, almost moaning breath, but the motion and sound are free before he realizes it.
Then Daniel is reeling back, blinking at him like he’s almost shocked. But he’s still clutching Terry’s shirt and standing within grasp. Terry can’t resist leaning down again, watching Daniel crane his head back to keep his gaze. When his former student goes silent, he doesn’t hold back.
“Say I’m wrong, Danny,” he begins. “Tell me with a straight face that you didn’t think about me. That you never wondered what I was doing or if I would ever seek you out again. Convince me that some part of you didn’t hope I would return and beg for your forgiveness.”
Daniel laughs with clear sarcasm. “Fuck you,” he hisses, and as he releases the shirt, the same hand is pulled into Terry’s grasp. 
He twists Daniel’s wrist until his former student is wincing, but the pain only lasts a second until he goes still. Then Terry takes a step to force his back against the wall, laughing all the while. “Isn’t this what you really missed all these years? Isn’t that what you wanted me to do back then?” he asks.
There’s a scoff from Daniel followed by a deep breath, and then his expression twists into something wicked. The last time he saw the other wear this expression was when Terry set him free at the club. But what follows next is unexpected and welcome all the same.
His free hand braces the back of Terry’s head, pulls down with the same violence he showed with the sweater, and crushes their mouths together in a bruising kiss. Terry almost whines at the contact, easing from Daniel’s wrist to grab his blouse and shove him against the wall. He kisses with as much intensity as he can manage, hoping to make up for all the decades they missed in the span of seconds.
Daniel’s tongue slips past his lips to lick at the roof of his mouth, and his fingers are wrapping around Terry’s ponytail, pulling at his hair until a wave of pain shoots through him. Terry ignores the ache, relishing in the opportunity to explore his former student’s mouth. He braces a free hand against the wall, not trusting his legs to do the job, and for a minute, there’s just heat and breath between them.
Then after what feels like a millisecond, the elevator dings to signal their arrival to the ground floor, and they pull back, panting as if they’ve been running. While Terry catches his breath, Daniel peers over his shoulder, but he doesn’t move, meaning they are likely alone.
“Admit it,” Terry blurts before he has a chance to consider his words.
Daniel’s fingers tighten in his hair, forcing Terry to grimace. “Admit what, Terry?”
God, how he missed that fire. “Admit you missed me, that you’re jealous I’m there instead of with you,” Terry tells him, the words coming out more breathy than he intends.
Another pause of silence, and for once, Daniel’s expression is almost unreadable. Then he bites his lip and eases the grip on his hair before pushing him off completely. Terry lets him go too, watching his former student march to the door while his heart thunders in his chest.
“You should be with me,” Daniel whispers, and Terry is glad he isn’t standing close enough to hear the gasp he lets out. “But you’re not. You’re there.”
With these words, he leaves the elevator, and the doors close behind him. Terry is alone once again, in a prison he made for himself.

Baby Fever - Trevor Zegras x Reader
Tumblr media
Hockey Masterlist
Warnings: swearing, smut adjacent content (post-sex interaction/make out), a joke about cheating, a joke about death, and semen... in that order...
Words: 2322
Requested: Can you please do a trevor blurb where him and y/n go to a pumpkin patch with their nephew and Trevor's playing with their nephew and y/n gets so much baby fever please
A/n: Hey y'all! I'm taking a break from the Jamie series of firsts with a requested fic. I kinda riffed on the request so there are some things you need to know beforehand: 1) they're not babysitting a nephew, they're babysitting Troy Terry's kid Greyson 2) I'm aware Greyson is currently an infant but in this fic he's a toddler 3) I understand you asked for a blurb but I'm ass at writing blurbs 4) therefore this is a part 1. (Part 2 coming soon ish?) Enjoy!
Troy Terry had sworn to never let Trevor Zegras supervise his son. Or at least, before I was in the picture anyway. I had befriended Dani over the course of several Ducks’ games after Trevor and I became official. We somehow managed to have the same schedules despite having vastly different lifestyles; at the time, she was a new mom adjusting to domestic bliss, and I was a senior at UC Irvine preparing for my post-grad plans. Now that I’m not overwhelmed with work as a student, she and I grew pretty close. More often than not, we found ourselves having several hangouts without our guys present. Naturally, I saw Greyson a lot, considering the fact that I would spend my time with Dani in the Terry residence.
Our latest hang out consisted of us gabbing about the latest drama with Greyson’s preschool over a glass of wine. In telling me that Greyson was between daycares right now, I offered to take him off her hands for a night so she and Troy could have a much needed date night. At first, Dani refused, not wanting to dump the responsibility on me, but I insisted. There were several pros: I love kids, Dani has done plenty of favors for me before, Greyson’s already comfortable with me, and they wouldn’t have to pay for a babysitter. Pleased with my argument, Dani agreed and the plans were set. 
This Friday, the team had a day off and rather than having the guys disappear onto the nearest golf course, Dani and Troy began planning their night off, as did Trevor and I.
“Hey, babe, I was thinking about how to spoil you and thought we could get a table at The Ranch tonight. What do you say?” Trevor asks, holding my hips and subtly pinning me against the kitchen counter.
“About that.”
“What’s up?” He asks, deviously dipping his head down. I don’t give in to whatever seduction game he’s playing, and quickly peck him on the lips.
“I kind of made evening plans.” He takes the kiss in stride and looks at me teasingly.
“Is your boyfriend back in town already?”
“Yeah, he wanted to go to The Ranch, too. I just can’t have my boyfriend and my side piece in one place, soooo.” 
“I’ve been demoted to ‘side piece’? Ouch,” Trevor laughs before sliding his hands along my waistband to clasp behind my lower back, and pull me into him so our hips touch. “Fuck. Now you’ll never pick me over him!”
“Oh, that was always the plan. Don’t get it twisted.” He laughs once more before asking,
“What’s going on tonight?” I open my mouth to answer and as I do, he slips his hand down to grab my ass, catching me by surprise.
“Hey!” Right as I scold him, Jamie walks into the kitchen to refill his water bottle. I try to bite back the smile that creeps across my features, flustered by Jamie’s newfound presence. 
“Hey Jamo,” Trevor says casually, to try and ease the awkwardness.
“You guys know I still live here, right?”
“Sorry, Jamie.”
“I’m going grocery shopping. Just try to keep it in your room, Z.” 
“Keep what in my room?” He asks, playing dumb, much to Jamie’s dismay. He merely shakes his head and leaves the kitchen. Watching Jamie leave, Trevor follows with his gaze, tracking Jamie’s movements to the opposite direction until he hears the front door open and close. After, he turns back to face me, “You were saying?”
“I told Dani I would watch Greyson.”
“What?!” I half expected Trevor to be upset, but he’s sporting the widest smile I’ve ever seen.
“Yeah, she and Troy were due for some alone time, so I offered to take him to the pumpkin patch tonight.”
“When?”
“They’re dropping him off around 5.”
“5. What time is it now?” Trevor leans away from me to look at the clock on the oven that reads 2:57. “Oh, we have time.” 
“Time for wha-” I cut myself off with a screech as Trevor picks me up and sits me on the open counterspace. He pushes my knees apart to stand between them, the dominant action in tandem with the cold countertop underneath me sends shivers down my spine. He then kisses me passionately, trailing his fingers up the length of my exposed thighs. His hands find the top of my waistband, running along the hem as he presses his hard on into my core. I hold either side of his face in my hands, squeaking once more as Trevor picks me up and carries me to his bedroom.
___________________________
Panting and still slightly sweaty, I check my phone to see the clock reads 4:43. “Shit.” 
“What?” Trevor asks curiously. He’s laying on top of the covers, fully nude and sprawled out, after having collapsed on the bed next to me.
“It’s 4:43,” I say between sticky breaths. He shuts his eyes and groans loudly,
“Give me, like, five minutes.” 
“Uh, no sir. You need to get me a towel so I can get up and pee.” Trevor’s eyes shoot open and he sits up. 
“Right. Boyfriend duties await.” His expression is humorous and I can’t help but notice the way his abs flex through the movement. If it weren’t too late, I’d have jumped him again, then and there. He rolls off the bed, sliding on the nearest pair of briefs he can find. Trevor then grabs the towel hanging on the doorknob, and walks over to where I am on the bed, propped up on my elbows. The gravity of holding myself up causes the beaded sweat to roll down my cleavage, and on to my stomach where Trevor had finished a few minutes prior. He doesn’t say anything but I clock the way his eyes are trained on my chest as he approaches me. I hold out my hand for the towel but he holds it out of reach. 
“What are you-?” 
“Lay down.” 
“What? Why?”
“Just do it!” I confusedly put my head back on his pillow and Trevor grabs both ends of the towel, opening it up to lay it over me. “I’m calling it. Time of death, 4:44 PM. Rest in peace, Y/n, I’ll miss you.”
“Oh my god,” I say from under the towel. Pulling it off my face, I sit back up to find Trevor snickering at his own joke. “Are you proud of yourself?”
“Very.” He leans down and places a sweet kiss on my lips. When he pulls away, my eyes flutter open and he gently lifts the towel to cover his hand, then wipes off the leftover fluid. I look up at him as he moves, a soft smile of adoration painting my features. Trevor looks down at me and widens his eyes teasingly before relaxing to smile at me again.
The sound of the front door opening echoes down the hall and from the entrance we hear Jamie call, “I’m back! Please tell me you’re clothed!”
“Don’t worry about it, Jamo!” Trevor calls back before wadding up the used towel and throwing it at me.
“Ew!” I should’ve known him being sweet wasn’t going to last. Sliding off the side of the bed, I pick up my clothes and walk into the bathroom to pee. After I’m dressed again, I come out to see Trevor had thrown on the outfit he was wearing earlier: a v-neck polo and board shorts. 
“You can’t wear that,” I say in disbelief.
“Why?” Trevor looks at me in confusion. Turning to the mirror that hangs on the back of the door, he takes in the fresh hickeys littered across his exposed chest. “Oh shit.” The revelation is perfectly timed with a knock on the door. Nudging Trevor out of the way, I exit his bedroom and leave him to change. Jamie is unloading groceries with his airpods in and I wave when I walk by to signal that we’re done and he can exist peacefully again. 
Answering the front door reveals Dani and Troy in the nicest casual clothing I’ve ever seen. The Terry’s smile upon seeing me and I look at Greyson who’s sitting on Dani’s left hip.
“Hi Grey!” I cheer and he immediately smiles. I then notice Troy holding what seems to be Greyson’s booster seat and as I go to reach for it, Trevor appears behind me. Greyson runs inside and begins punching Trevor’s leg with all the might his almost-four year old arms can manage. I laugh but Dani scolds,
“Greyson, we don’t hit people, remember?” He immediately stops, thinks for a moment, and then proceeds to throw punches at Trevor but without making contact. Dani sighs exhaustedly before saying, “Good enough.”
“How’s it going, man?” Trevor asks Troy, causing Dani and me to look at the guys incredulously.
“You saw each other yesterday,” I tease. Trevor shrugs as he takes the car seat from Troy. 
“Terry’s my boy though,” He responds somewhat jokingly. Greyson then speaks up,
“What about me?” The group laughs about the sweet question but Greyson isn’t amused. He looks around, confused, before stepping further into the apartment to scope it out. Greyson then yells, “I wanna go to the pumpkin patch!”
“Read you loud and clear, bud,” Trevor replies. Then, Dani asks practically,
“What time do you need him out of your hair?” To which I reply,
“Oh don’t worry about it, we can hang onto him for as long as y’all need.” 
“Are you sure?”
“Of course.”
“Okay, well, his bed time is eight, and that’s usually around when we get tired anyway, so we’ll be here around then?.”
“8 it is,” I say with a smile, leaning away to look at Greyson fully. He smiles shyly before hiding his face against Trevor’s leg. “Why are you being shy, Grey-Grey?” I ask, looking down at his level. 
“I think he has a little bit of a crush on you.”
“Really?” I ask with a tiny bit of a laugh. Troy chimes in,
“Yeah, he was super excited when she told him you were the one babysitting-” 
“He’s been looking forward to it all week.” Dani finishes Troy’s sentence before they look at one another and smile, “In fact, he told me he has something to tell you, right Grey?”
“You’re pretty, Y/n,” He admits before running away, which causes the four of us to laugh.
“I told you my boyfriend was back in town,” I tease, which then makes Trevor laugh heartily. Turning back to Dani and Troy, they both look confused and I feel my cheeks grow warm in embarrassment.
“Inside joke,” I reassure. They nod and offer a few goodbyes to me, Trevor, and Greyson, before heading out for good. 
Closing the door behind us, Trevor sets down the car seat and says,
“I gotta up my game now that I have competition.”
“Yeah, so behave!” Trevor touches his left hand to his heart, giving me a look that reads melodramatically offended, “You’re currently in the lead, though.”
“I better be,” he bites back, wrapping his arm around the back of my body, coming to rest his right hand on my hip. His thumb brushes the hem and I look up at him over my left shoulder, 
“You’re still turned on?” I whisper, in shock. Trevor doesn’t reply. His hand slinks down to my ass as he kisses my lips heatedly, before he goes to follow Greyson’s path. I follow close behind and see Greyson’s found Jamie in the kitchen.
“Can I have one?!” Greyson shrieks upon finding a box of fruit by the foot. Jamie laughs at his excitement before asking,
“Do your parents even let you have sugar?” The dry humor is lost on the young child but I snort a laugh. 
“I’ve had these before in my lunch!”
“...Okay, sure. Let me open it for you. I don’t trust you to not destroy the box.”
“Jame, can you keep an eye on him for a second so we can get shoes on?” Trevor asks.
“He just got here and you’re already pawning off your responsibility on me?” Jamie playfully accuses Trevor, who looks offended. I laugh, partially at Jamie’s joke, and partially at watching Trevor misunderstand his roommate in real time. Jamie looks at me and we laugh about the joke going over Trevor’s head. 
I then head for the bedroom to search for the shoes I was once wearing. Trevor enters a little after I do to pull a pair of white sneakers from his closet. He’s uncharacteristically quiet. I almost want to ask what for, but then I’m overcome with the desire to let him stew in the silence. If I wait long enough, he’ll have to speak. He always does. Or, at least, he usually does. 
“Do you want kids?” He works up the nerve to ask, quickly adding, “Someday?” in hopes of softening the blow of the genuine conversation topic.
“Probably someday,” I answer simply, which sends him back into an introspective silence for a moment.
“How many kids would you want?” I look over at him to see he’s staring at me, as if tearing his gaze away would shatter the moment. I continue putting on my shoes,
“I think two is a good number. That way they can have a sibling, but not so many that they would feel their needs went unmet. Why?”
“I could do two,” Trevor says assuredly, ignoring my question.
“Well, I’m sorry to break it to you, but you’re about two rings short of trying to have a baby with me right now,” I assert in a teasing way, although I’m not joking. The tension of the conversation dissipates as Trevor laughs. 
“Fair point,” Trevor squints his eyes at me, “But we can still practice, right?” I laugh again before nodding,
“We can at least agree on that.”
***
a/n: hope y'all enjoyed that and stay tuned for part 2 that'll drop sometime this week or next. let me know if you have a request for either Trevor or Jamie bc I'm on a ducks kick rn! Sidenote: is anyone else absolutely obsessed with the fact that we can copy paste tags now?? saves so much time !!!

I also have Binocular Vision Dysfunction and I just gave myself a migraine by reading 50 pages of Terry Pratchett. I just wanted to ask if you have any tips for reading and not giving yourself a migraine? (Admittedly, horizontal movement is a problem for one of my eyes and may not be a problem for yours but I thought I'd ask.)
Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that.
I still struggle a little with reading for long periods of time, but we're working on it with vision therapy to try and improve it. I've been doing it for about 3 months now and have seen improvement, but I've still got a lot of vision therapy left.
I've also got an additional reading layer of prisms that snap on over the top of my micro-prism glasses in case I need the extra support for horizontal support, so that might be something worth asking your eye doctor about if they haven't tried that already.

Hey bestie can I make a request please? I'd love to know what Terry would be like if he saw you sprain your foot, as someone who has sprained her foot many times, I know its mega painful 😭 please could you write what he would do to help you when your on the floor with the pain? KK3 and CK Terry please, take your time bestie 😁 love you 💚
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you so much for your request Bestie 🖤 I'm trying my best for you 🤗
(kk3) Terry and I agreed to meet a the dojo once I finished work. When I entered he just finished teaching the last class for today. He smiled when he noticed me "Hey baby, there you are! I missed you today." he gave me a soft kiss. "Awww honey I missed you too. How was teaching today?" I asked "It was pretty good. Listen I just have to put away everything,change and we can go home." "Oh hey, maybe I can help you. I put away everything and you get changed in the mean time." "That would be amazing baby. It's just the few pads and sticks. Put it in the back, I carry the dummies alright?" I nodded and immediately went to work. I took a few sticks at the same time and made my way to the training room. I was almost there when I tripped over my own feet and fell to the ground. I felt a strong pain in my ankle that brought tears to my eyes." Aaahh fuck!" I said rubbing my ankle. "Babe? Are you hurt? I heard a loud... Oh my god babe are you alright? What happened?" Terry said kneeling beside me. "I tripped and I... Ouch I think I sprained my foot." Terry lifted me up and put me down on a staple of mats. "Let me see. Tell me where it hurts." he gently touches my ankle that was already swollen. "There! Right there, God Terry it hurts so bad." "It seems you just sprained your foot but we should see a doctor, just in case it's broken. Okay baby?" I nodded "Maybe it's the best. Thank you honey. I don't know what I'd do without you." he lifted me up bridal style and carried me to his car. "Hey no thanks needed baby. I'd do anything for the love of my life."
(CK) I was busy doing laundry while Terry finished the last few documents before we would spend our well deserved weekend together. I was carrying the laundry basket when suddenly Terry's voice came from his office." My love could you come here for a second?" "Of course honey." I put the last clothes in the basket and made my way to his office. Instead of putting the basket down to open the office door, I tried to balance it under my arm. Just in that moment the office door was opened. I lost my balance and fell to the floor." Shit sweetheart, I'm so sorry I didn't know you were here. Are you hurt?" "It's okay Terry I... I should have knocked. My foot hurts really bad." "I see it's already swollen. Can you move it?" he asked. I tried but the pain was too much. "Ahhh... Just a little. Do you think it's broken?" he gently put his hand on my ankle "I think it's just sprained my love. Let's get you on the sofa, you need rest." he carried me downstairs and puts me carefully on the sofa. "I get you a cool pack and call the doctor. I just want to make sure it's not broken." he left and returned after a few minutes. He joined me on the sofa, puts my foot on his lap and put the cool pack on my ankle. "Is this okay my love? Do I hurt you?" I smiled at him "No it's okay thank you Terry, you're just the cutest." "Anything for you my love."

Solar Opposites: The Rise of The New Order Ch. 10 (by @avaveevo)
Tumblr media
Terry is chained to the wall
Terry: *grunting as he tries to break free* Fucking damn it! Don’t worry kids! We have to get out of here warn your father!
Jesse starts crying
Jesse: *crying* Terry! I’m so scared! I don’t wanna die!
Terry gasps and tries to approach her but falls since he is chained to the wall
Terry: *growls and then regains hope* Don’t worry kids! Korvy will come rescue us! I just knew it!
Tortus arrives
Tortus: Get up! It is time!
Terry: Korvo will come stop you.
Tortus: *mockingly* Oh I am so scared! In your dreams! Guards, take them to the execution!
The guards pick up Terry and the replicants. Yumyulack bites a guard's arm.
Guard: Ouch! Little Brat! *shoves Yumyulack to get him going*
Korvo and Kim-La suddenly appear
Korvo: STOP!
Tortus: You?!
Terry: *sheds tears of joy* KORVY!
Yumyulack: Dad!
Jesse: Daddy!
Korvo: Terry! Kids! Hang on! I’m coming!
Tortus shocks Korvo again with his shock collar as Korvo growls.
Kim-La: KORVO!
Kim-La growls at Tortus, who laughs.
Kim-La: LEAVE HIM ALONE MOTHERFUCKER!
Tortus: I knew that you one day betray me, ever since the day you lost your pathetic wife!
Kim-La: How do you even know my wife's dead?
Tortus: *chuckles* It’s simple you see, your wife never like my orders.
A flashback plays which shows Juma refusing to take orders upon meeting Tortus.
Tortus: Your wife never liked my strict when she wanted to get some stuff for her wife and pathetic Replicant! She doesn’t even like the strict orders of The New Order.
Huma shook her head in disgust away from Tortus, who snarls and snaps his fingers. The snap summons the guards who took Juma away.
Juma: Hey! Why are you doing this?! This is bullshit! We never did anything to you!
Tortus: Take her to the Execution!
Juma: No! No! NO!
The flashback ends
Kim-La: *gasp* Y-you… killed my wife?!
Tortus: I had no other choice. You see-
Kim-La screams in fury and punches Tortus in the face.
Korvo: *laughs* Alright!
Kim-La: *to Tortus* HOW COULD YOU?! YOU KILLED THE ONLY SHLORPIAN I HAVE EVER LOVED!
Tortus: That does it. *snaps his fingers*
The guards grabbed Kim-La and Korvo and throws them to the dungeon as they scream. They then gasp.
Terry: KORVO!
Tortus: It’s too late now! It is time… for the Execution! Take them away!
Korvo: *growls*
Tortus: As for you two, you are sentence to the dungeon for 500 years as punishment for betraying the New Order!
Kim-La gasps
Kim-La: You won’t fucking get away with this!
Tortus: It’s too late! I already have!
The guards take away Terry, Jesse and Yumyulack as Korvo snakes. Then, Kim-La started crying. Korvo turns around and notices Kim-La crying.
Korvo: Kim-La? Are you okay?
After Korvo and Kim-La in the dungeon after Tortus sentenced them to 500 years in jail
Kim-La: *crying* I am so sorry Korvo…
Korvo smiles and put his hand on Kim-La.
Korvo: There is nothing you could’ve don Kim-La. Thanks for being by my side.
Kim-La smiles.
Kim-La: Thanks Korvo. *notices Korvo looking at his robe* Is there something wrong?
Korvo smirks.
Korvo: I think I can use a more modern garb.
Kim-La gasps.
Kim-La: No way. Want me to help you?
Korvo: I don't see why not?
Kim-La: Okay. Let’s get started.
Korvo takes his ceremonial garb off and starts looking around for options with Kim-La. Kim-La notices fingerless gloves
Kim-La: What about these gloves?
Korvo: Perfect.
Cue a montage. Korvo puts on the gloves as he began to smirk. Then, Kim-La sees an amazing modern outfit offscreen
Kim-La: Oh. My. Gosh.
Korvo is waiting until Kim-La show him the offscreen outfit. Korvo gasps.
Korvo: Perfect!
Later, two guards are patrolling the dungeon until...
Korvo: *offscreen* Now!
Kim-La uses a death ray to kill the guards
Guard #2: *dying from the ray* OH GOD! FUCKING WHY?!
Kim-La kicks the guard in the head
Kim-La: Suck it, bitches!
Kim-La turns to Korvo
Kim-La: So… what do you think of the new look?
Korvo then steps out with a new look, which contains a blue modern robe but with no crystal, a pair of boot that are a bit big but have crystals that looks like the one from Korvo’s old robe, Korvo’s white shirt is shown since the new robe is unbutton and he is now wearing fingerless gloves.
Korvo: I look and feel amazing! *remembers Terry's execution*
Kim-La: What is it?!
Korvo: Terry! He's going to be executed in a few hours and we won't have time to-
Kim-La: Hey don’t worry! We got this!
Korvo: *weeping* We have to get there! Terry means everything to me. *then manages to pull himself together and wipes away his tears while gaining courage again* Kim-La, let’s go save my husband!
Kim-La: Right!
The two Shlorpians then head off to save Terry from his execution.Then, Korvo notices Jessica and Teraformus in the dungeon.
Jessica: *gasps* Korvo!
Korvo: Teraformus! Jessica! You two got lock up didn’t you?
Terraformus: Yes! Hurry! Get us outta here!
Korvo pulls out a rusted key
then he puts it in the lock and opens the door. Terraformus and Jessica embrace their son-in-law.
Jessica: Thank you Korvo!
Teraformus: Are you all right? *notices Korvo's new outfit* Whoa. Nice new look.
Korvo: You’re welcome! Now come on! Let’s go save my family!
Korvo, Jessica, Teraformus and Kim-La runs off to save the family.
It starts at the day of the execution as Tortus steps up to the podium to announce the execution
Tortus: My fellow New Order! Today we start the execution of Terald, Yumyulack and Jessica!
The Shlorpians cheer as Jesse starts crying
Jesse: *crying* Korvo?! Where are you?!
Tortus: EXECUTE THEM! EXECUTE THEM AS THEY ALL WATCH!
Terry: Oh hell no! Wait until my sweet hubby comes and whoops your fucking asses!
An executioner Shlorpian raises the axe but then...
Korvo: *offscreen* STAY! THE FUCK! AWAY! FROM! MY! FAMILY!
Tortus: WHAT?!
The Shlorpians turn and then sees Korvo with Kim-La. Terry, Yumyulack and Jesse gasp in joy.
Yumyulack: Korvo!
Terry: Korvy!
Kim-La punches the executioner and frees Terry, Yumyulack, and Jesse
Terry, Yumyulack and Jesse: Hooray! Alright Korvo! You’re okay! We missed you!
Terry notices Korvo's new outfit
Terry: Wow. Nice outfit, babe.
Korvo twirls around
Korvo: Thanks. Need a new outfit while Kim-La and I were trapped. I am so sorry if I putted you guys in danger. I never meant for any of this to happen.
Terry: Hey. It's okay. I'm just glad you're okay, babe.
Yumyulack and Jesse: Us too.
Korvo smiles tearfully
Korvo: Come here you wonderful weirdos! *tries to bring family in for a hug, much to their joy*
The crowd murmurs in confusion as Tortus looks at Korvo's new outfit in horror. Korvo notices Tortus' horrified expression.
Korvo: What Tortus?
Tortus: WHAT! HAVE YOU DONE! TO YOUR CEREMONIAL GARB?!
Korvo: Hey! It’s a lovely outfit!
Torus: Lovely! LOVELY?! You completely changed the design! turns to Kim-La And you! I should’ve known you would turn on me!
Kim-La: Well, guess what?! I am done doing your own dirty work!
Torus: What?! After everything I did for you?! You should be ashamed of yourself!
Korvo: If anyone here should be ashamed here, it’s you! You assigned me a new unit, making me turn on my family!
Tortus: They are not your family! They are your unit! Get it through your head!
Korvo: finally taking a stand YES! THEY! ARE!
Torus slaps Korvo in the face, making him fall to the ground.
Torus: You dare talk back to me?!
Korvo however gets back and stands brave and courageous
Korvo: Yes! Yes I do!
Tortus: To think you were once my favorite student!
Korvo: I never was! You treated me like shit! II reuse to follow you anymore! I am going back to my family!
Kim-La: Yeah! Me too!
Tortus: You are not going back to Terald! He is nothing but a nuisance, and he is a disgrace to Shlorpiankind!
Korvo: No he is not! Terry is the most wonderful Pupa specialist and person I have ever met! He is the best husband and the mission partner I ever had! He changed my life! I made a wonderful life with my husband and you made me throw that away! And if you can’t see that, then you’re the fool!
Tortus: Have it your way then. New Order, come.
To Tortus’ surprise the others refuse to follow him
Bee: No Tortus. *looks at Korvo* Korvo’s right. *heads over to Kim-La and Korvo* Enough.
Tortus: What?! But conformity is cool!
Korvo snaps when Tortus says conformity is cool
Korvo: YOUR ORDERS AND RULES WERE ALWAYS TOXIC! THIS CONFORMITY IS ENDING RIGHT NOW! I AM GOING BACK TO MY FAMILY!
Tortus growls
Tortus: No you are not.
Tortus presses a button that shocks Korvo and Kim-La. Luckily Korvo looks at the button and takes out a dagger that destroys the button.
Korvo: It’s over Tortus…
Tortus snarls.
Tortus: Why you lousy little traitor!
Terry kicks Tortus in the face as he growls.
Terry: Touch my man and you're dead bitch! *to Korvo* Come here you! *kisses Korvo on the lips as the crowd gasps*
Crowd: *touched by the husbands’ love* Aaaw…
Korvo and Terry start taking off their clothes and start having sex
Korvo: Oh Terry! *moans lovingly* I really do miss that handsome kinky body of yours!
Terry: And I missed your beautiful chubby body!
Korvo: *moans lovingly* Terry!
Kim-La: Wow. *to Yumyulack and Jesse* Do they always do this?
Yumyulack and Jesse: Oh hell yeah. Really gross sometimes. Boy, they are really got a whole lot of love.
Korvo: *moans lovingly* OH! OH YES TERRY! TERRY!
A green male Shlorpians takes his phone out
Terry: *moans lovingly* OH YES! KORVY! OH!
Moran: Holy. Shit.
Bee: Yeah. Wow.
Korvo: Ooooh! Yes! Let us kiss and show everyone how beautiful love is!
Terry: Fuck yeah!
The two aliens husbands kiss as they start floating and glowing
Shlorpians: Whoa… aaaw… so romantic!
Bee: What's happening?
Gadget: I think Korvo and his husband’s lover for each other is shining brighter than ever!
Korvo and Terry's clothes suddenly transform.
Shlorpians: Whoa!
Korvo’s clothes has turn into an aquamarine cyan suit jacket with a white shirt underneath while Terry’s clothes turn into an orange suit jacket with a black shirt underneath. The two husbands stop kissing as they land on their feet
Korvo: *smiling* Terry-bear… you never looked more handsome…
Terry smiles tearfully
Terry: So do you… *leans in as he and Korvo embrace in another kiss as they moan lovingly*
Xinna starts crying which is something she's never done before
Bee: Are you… crying Xinna?
Xinna: N-No!
The Shlorpians cheer for the husbands’ love for each other as Korvo and Terry continues kissing. Korvo the delivers a speech to the Shlorpians like Nova does.
Korvo: Everyone! Tortus is evil. He was a false savior, preying on us because we believed in something greater. You’ve been save. This divine touch is already warming our utopia. Someday, our brothers and sisters who Tortus forced out of the planet will find their way back. If they survive, they'll return to find the New Order better than ever before. Because from now on, we build friendships instead of barriers. There will be no more power-hungry leaders or bloody wars. There will only be Shlorpians who care and support each other and a lasting peace inside the New Order! It starts now. Our reign is over! Feel the warm air, the wind of change that brings a new life for us all.
The Shlorpians cheer. The family then gets into a group hug as Kim-La smiles.
Kim-La: I'm proud of you, Korv.
Korvo: *whispers* Thank you…
Kim-La smiles and joins in on the hug. Xinna suddenly bursts into tears.
Xinna: I can’t take it! Come here guys!
The New Order members hug each other
Korvo: Now… let’s go home.
Terry: Yeah. *to Kim-La* You wanna come with us?
Kim-La: I would love too.
Korvo smiles. Korvo straightens his jacket and laughs
Karna: *offscreen* Mommy?
Kim-La turns around and gasps
Kim-La: Karna?! *runs up to hug her daughter as she cries tears of joy*
Karna: Mommy! I missed you!
Kim-La and Karna embrace while Teraformus and Jessica arrived and gasp in joy.
Jessica: He did it! He finally did it!
Terraformus: You did it Korvo! You saved everyone!
Tortus gets up and growls only for the guards to stop him.
Tortus: No! Stop! What are you fools doing?! Let me go!
Terry: *firmly* It’s over Tortus! Your awful rule of the New Order is over! For good!
Tortus tries escape, only for Teraformus to punch him in papa wolf fury!
Terraformus: NOBODY TRIES TO KILL MY SON YOU BITCH!
Two guards appear behind Tortus
Tortus: No... *gets up* you don't get to end this! I'm fucking Tortus! *gets out of crater and faces gang* I'm the fucking Shlorpian, and you're just some fucking clown or something! I started everything in the New Order! All of Shlorpian kin came from these fucking hands! You all should be worshipping me, you ungrateful, disgusting, fucking losers-
Jessica: Take him away, boys.
The guards nod as Tortus screams in fury as he gets taken away for good. The crowd cheer as Bee, Gadget, Moran and Xinna cheer for their friends. The family gets into another group hug along with Jessica, Teraformus, Kim-La and Karna.
Terry: I’m so proud of you Korvy. Now what do we do now?
Korvo smirks as he looks around the crowd.
Korvo: Now we can finally rebuild before Tortus’s cruel ways came. Together.
The crowd cheers as Terry picks Korvo up. Terry smiles and the two husbands embrace in a kiss while moaning lovingly.

Marc: All right, I would like to remind everybody here that in a very short amount of time, we have seen multiple Class 4 Akumas.
Aurore: Yeah. We did. Who cares what anybody else is saying about us? We know what we're doing. I mean, all morning, I've been reading about this stuff. There's sightings all over the city. *Reads newspaper* "Parrot spirit sighted at 6th and 26th."
Ismael: Another one, *Reads paper* "Spectral polar bear on 63rd and 5th." Then there was that weeping wall in the thrift store at Chelsea.
Zoé: ... Did you say 6th and 26th?
Aurore: Yeah. "Parrot spirit, 6th and 26th."
Zoé: *She gets out a map of New York, and starts marking locations* 6th and 26th. Okay. 6th and 26th. Um, Northwest Mansion. Um, Upper West Side. 70... 72nd. Um, where did we find the first device?
Denise: Uh, at the subway, right here. *Points to the map*
Zoé: Okay. Theater. Downtown.
Lacey: Downtown?
Zoé: Yeah, yes. In here. Okay, Ismael, what was the other address you said?
Ismael: Polar bear on 63rd and 5th Avenue.
Zoé: And the one in Chelsea?
Ismael: Uh... Chelsea is at 10th Avenue and 18th.
Zoé: 18th. 10th and 18th. Uh. *She connects the marks together, and they form an X* What do those look like to you?
Reshma: *Tilts her head* Just an X.
Aurore: … Ley lines. Ley lines!
Mireille: What's "ley lines"?
Aurore: It's a hidden network of energy lines that run across the Earth. It's a current of energy caused by when the Miraculous merged with our world.
Marc: Supposedly, if you look at sacred sites and weird events all over the world, and connect them with lines where they intersect, it's an unusually powerful spot. Aurore and I just dismissed this theory because it just seemed too random to have any merit.
Ismael: Dismiss this! *He compares the map to one in a book with the exact same markings*
Marc: Okay. That looks like it's got some merit...
Simon: ... They’re using the devices to charge the ley lines... They’re creating a vortex!
Denise: I’m sorry, what?
Jean: Oh, boy.
Simon: Okay, if this person gets one of their machines in there and it's big enough, they’re gonna be able to rip a hole right through that barrier!
Mireille: Letting whatever's on that plane come crashing down on this plane.
Ismael: Okay, I'm calling this in. *He pulls out his phone*
Cosette: That intersection right there between 7th and 8th. What is there now?
Zoé: The Mercado. That actually makes sense.
Ismael: *Speaking with someone* Okay, yes, I'm looking for Majestia and Knight Owl
Zoé: The Mercado has one of the weirdest histories of the buildings in New York.
Simon: Okay, so it's your standard-issue haunted building?
Zoé: No, this is even before it was a building. All sorts of massacres happened at that spot. Like the peaceful trade between the Lenape Native Americans and Captain Warren. Then, all of a sudden, everybody dies. Roberts Stals, the pianist from the twenties? Did a show right in that spot and a stage light fell right on top of him. Few years after that, a restaurant opened up. Everyone got food poisoning, died of typhoid flu, and there was a kitchen fire that burned the whole place down.
Coraline: *Sees the picture of the Mercado staff and notices Gabriel* Oh, my God, you guys. This is the dude that was at the subway, that was talking about the cataclysms!
Lacey: That is him! Oh, it's always the sad, pale ones!
Marc: Okay, people, let's gear up and hit that Mercado!
Zoé: Who's in the mood to save New York City?!
Roger: These children are criminals, mayor! They use sense and nerve gasses to make people believe they’re seeing monsters, and then conveniently show up dressed as brightly colored animals to deal with the problem with the fake theatrical light show!
Simon: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here.
Roger: They caused an explosion!
Mayor: Is this true?
Simon: … Yes. It’s true… This man has no dick.

I promise you Terry has been working on round two for literal decades!
Yeah, ouch. Will this be a fic where I feel sorry for Terry lol? Clearly he’s longed for Daniel… 😢
You need two yesses for a relationship and Daniel handled the breakup as decently as humanly possible, so it's not a question of blame... but Terry wanted to marry him and he doesn't take decisions like that lightly. We know that if Terry goes for anything he goes all in, he has no other way - so yes, Daniel had his whole heart and Terry [spoiler] has never stopped believing that Daniel was willing to love him as much. This simply isn't over for him, never has been.

Ten's Saga (The things people do for family)
[All images are owned by DC Comics and Warner Bros Discovery. I hope I’m too small-fry to sue...]
There are a number of examples of bad relationships (lord knows I've been in a few) First, there the "rebound" in which you latch on to the next person who sparks your interest while still pining for the one you lost. Then there's the relationship that's based entirely on physical attraction despite the fact you likely have nothing in common.
But what happens when the person you're attracted to happens to be your enemy? That's what happens to Terry McGinnis. If you would like to watch the episodes, they're available on Max or behind your favorite paywall.
(All videos courtesy of The Night Beyond)
Tumblr media
We open in Gotham Harbor where a quiet sailing trip is interrupted.
youtube
The “appointment” in question? A date with Dana, that he was late for…again. They have a fight and Terry, in a fit of frustration, says they should break up.
Tumblr media
…ouch.
With that, Terry storms out of the club, where he encounters a girl who saw the whole thing through the window.
Tumblr media
The girl (Melanie Walker) has a bit in common with Terry, as her family moves around a lot (often not staying in the same place for more than a couple of weeks), which doesn’t leave a lot of time for a social life…much like Terry’s “after school job” doesn’t leave him much time either.
Tumblr media
Melanie has learned to live for the moment…
Tumblr media
…as Terry quickly learns! The two make a date for midnight the following night (hope it’s not a school night!), meeting outside the club (Melanie doesn’t want Terry picking her up. So either she’s homeless or ashamed of her family)
Later, Terry returns to the Batcave complaining about how his life with Batman ruined his relationship with Dana.
Tumblr media
Then Bruce explains about the Royal Flush Gang as it pertains to the series. I’ll now explain the various versions of the Gang in the DC Multiverse. Their membership is wide and varied, but they boil down to variations of three versions…
The first is a large gang (52 in number) broken into four squads of goons (one for each suit) with a "King" as each suit's leader (who is one of the actual gang members)
The second is a loose affiliation of crooks who band together under a card motif. The Joker has been known to lead the Gang either behind the scenes or right out front, but not always.
The third (the one we’re dealing with here) is a family of thieves, with the King being the head of the family. In this and the previous version, Ace is the most powerful (in this case, Ace is a very powerful android)
Let’s go to the gang, where we find out why King has brought the Gang to Gotham (HINT: it has to do with Batman)
Tumblr media
Revenge! Of course, it’s the wrong Batman. King starts planning their next caper.
Tumblr media
Oh, that’s gonna throw a wrench in Terry’s love life!
That night, the Royal Flush Gang’s target is a museum.
Tumblr media
Ten just wants to get this job over with so she can meet Batman Terry.
youtube
So Terry and Melanie are both late for their date.
After delivering the guard at the ER, Terry rushes to their rendezvous, but Melanie is nowhere to be seen. Dejected, he starts to walk home. However…
Tumblr media
The lovebirds enjoy a nice evening together. However…
Tumblr media
It was too good to last, I guess. Terry makes a date for the next evening.
Tumblr media
I REALLY hope it’s not a school night!
Back at the Batcave, Bruce is researching the Royal Flush Gang’s next job, while Terry wants a night off. The pair argue (again!)
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, in the Gang’s hotel room, King (sorry, none of the other gang members have their names revealed) is laying into Melanie about her focus, which she throws back at him due to his obsession over Batman.
Tumblr media
King gives Melanie an ultimatum, which to his surprise she takes and walks out. Queen stops her and asks why, so Melanie tells her about Terry.
Tumblr media
Somehow (appealing to her greed), Queen talks Melanie into staying. And so…
Tumblr media
Terry knows something’s wrong, so he uses a deus ex Batshit device to hack a GCPD public terminal and trace Melanie’s call, then Batman pays a visit.
Tumblr media
Then the Royal Flush Gang return after a successful heist, and Jack realizes their hotel suite has been broken into. The Gang searches the suite…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
…and are taken down one by one, leaving only King and Ten. King takes things outside and we have a good ol’ fashioned dogfight until Batman gets the upper hand. Ten rushes in to help, but a shot from a cop destroys her hover-card and she plummets!
Fortunately, Batman doesn’t let a broken heart get in the way of saving her.
Tumblr media
All that’s left is the aftermath.
youtube
That should have been the end. However, the writers didn’t want to let that romantic thread dangle, so Melanie and her family made a second appearance. If you would like to watch, your favorite paywall can accommodate you.
Tumblr media
We open on a high-stakes card game.
youtube
Later, Terry wanders home to find everyone’s out (hope it’s not a school night, since that would mean Matt’s out too)…
Tumblr media
…though it isn’t empty.
Melanie just needs a place to lie low until night, since the cops, the crooks, and Batman are looking for her. The pair argue until Melanie explains her actions.
Tumblr media
Melanie explains the money was ransom; the Jokerz have her family. It’s a lot for Terry to process
Tumblr media
…and that certainly doesn’t make it any easier!
Then the family returns and Melanie makes herself scarce. Terry calls Bruce and makes up some bullshit story about studying with Dana, then…
youtube
oops!

Okay, so get ready for a spiel of thoughts for the Mystery of Aaravos (Spoilers included and they'll be totally out of order of the episodes because I'm just putting these in at random)
It's official that Soren, Callum, Ezran, Zym, Rayla, and the rest of the gang are now called the "dragang"
Corvus and Soren DEFINITELY have something going on
Zym looks amazing. So does Zubeia.
I didn't care for Rayla's look at first, but you know what, she looks good in it. Love it.
Stella is adorable.
Amaya, you're amazing. Keep it up.
Karim, stuff it. I don't know if I hate you or not, but I don't want you near Janai.
THANK YOU, creators, for not making Callum and Rayla automatically make up. THANK YOU.
Clauds...PLEASE
Claudia smacking Viren in the face was something I didn't know I needed.
AARAVOS, STAY AWAY FROM CALLUM. PLEASE.
ngl when Terry told Claudia that he was gonna help her up and then she could help him, was lowkey scared for about 10 seconds that she would just leave him
HUIFIHUIUHFIUHBFDSBUIHFDSUODFSBU THE COINS. RAYLA'S PARENTS. RUNAAN. RAYLA KNOWS NOW.
I have moments where I love Claudia and there's moments where I hate her. I'm sorry :')
Episode 9, at the 10:32 mark minute left. oUCH.
OH. OH. TERRY CALLED CLAUDIA OUT WITH THE COIN TRICK. OKAY SO SHE HAS SOME REMORSE. BUT OUCH.
the two guards at the doors of Umber Toh are lowkey one of my favorites now
Callum and Bait's friendship >>>>>
Counterpart, Zym and Bait's kinda sorta frenemy-ship >>>>
"THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS THE STRENGTH IN OUR HEARTS!!!!" *five minutes later* "THIS IS THE END!!"
cant decide if i like the earth archdragon or not. I mean, he obviously tried to kill them, but he was okay in the first few minutes
i'm assuming the brown sludge was like chocolate at something?
the earth archdragon adn zubeia roaring at each other is funny.
Rayla pulling the classic "everyone thinks she's dead but then she appears out of nowhere"
Zym constantly bowling everyone over is great
VIREN. WHAT WAS THAT AT THE END. WHAT. WAS. THAT.
sooo when's season 5 coming out

Today I went to the mall coz it was so hot at home and I was bored ,
like every other mall visit my first destination is Fully Booked , I already have three titles in mind that I’ve been planning to buy
• Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
• The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (lucky the branch near me has 1 illustrated version on the shelf)
• Misery by Stephen King
Went to the cashier to pay na coz I don’t want to stay any longer , as I have only budgeted for these three books Lang and I might overspend again with books..
as I was exiting the book store , I saw a familiar face from afar walking towards my direction , It was the same guy from my previous story whom I’m supposed to have a movie date and decided to ghost me…
Seems like he is on another date , I looked at the other guy., it gave me the closure I needed, he is definitely good looking , now I really can’t compete with that, it’s really hard to be slapped by reality.
Then again I gave the guy who ghosted me the hostile stare, hoping he could feel it in his bones..
Guessed my hostility was strong enough that he looked at me, his reaction the moment he saw me was priceless, I would never forget that, he suddenly seemed restless and turned pale.
I waved my hand to say Hi., now the guy he is with also looked at me.. they both stopped walking so I approached them.
Greeted Philip “the ghost “ How he was doing?
His voice was kind of trembling 😂😂 maybe he was kind of intimidated by the situation..
He said “ Hey! I’m good been busy with some stuffs and work, we just had our lunch , nagiikot lng muna now, while we are waiting for the movie, we are going to watch GOTG”
OUCH!!! Ndi ako nakailag,
Philip seemed like he doesn’t have a plan to introduce me to his friend and just wants to go, but as the petty me I’m not letting him off the hook easily , I need to let somethings go off my chest that suddenly urged again when I saw him…
Me overstepping my boundaries, diverted my attention to the other guy
“Hi , Sorry for invading your date, I’m Ian , I’m not friends with Philip ,though we used to chat and connect before, I don’t know if you can consider it M.U., you know we were also supposed to watch movie here weeks ago and the same movie , but he decided to ghost me. 😂😂 so whose paying this time? Don’t worry about me I’m no competition I just hope he will treat you better, enjoy your movie , I’ll be on my way..”
How low and Petty I have become , but I said what I said.

You see daddymagic, that same daddymagic that exited Ron and Terry's body, emanate for their bodies like a fine mist coalesce into the air, and then zip into the jar and fill it up a little bit more, cause that's what your relationship is..." what if i- what if i lost it? right here right now?

Terry X Reader
Context: John made fun of you during your period, so you and Terry put him to the test
You were just at the end of your time of the month, sat at home after finishing work at the dojo. Terry came in a little later after you, as he had some paperwork to do, and you were doing the dishes when he came into the house. "Hey sweetheart" he says as he gives you a hug from behind and kisses your cheek. "How was your day?" "Eh, could have been better, I wont lie" he seems concerned. "Why? Did something happen?" You dry your hands and turn to face him. "Its just John. He really annoyed me today. Made me feel like I wasnt doing my job well enough" "well what did he say exactly?" "He said that I shouldn't have had to take time out during the day to take painkillers and refill my hot water bottle. He said that it was just a little pain, and I should just get over it and get back to work" Terry does not like the sound of this, his face tells a picture. "He really said that to you? God he can be a real asshole sometimes. I'm sorry that happened sweetheart" he pulls you in close for a warming hug, and kisses your forehead. "You didnt deserve that, I will have a word with him" "I just wish he could understand what it's like" Terry smirks and looks into your eyes. "Do you know what sweetheart? I think I have an idea..." The next day, you, Terry and John are all at the dojo. "Terry why did you ask me hear? The dojo isnt open today" "I know John, but I asked you hear to have a talk with you. I know what you said to Y/N. She is your work colleague and she deserves respect. You dont understand what she has to deal with each month" "come on Terry, they're just a few cramps. How bad can they be?" You and Terry both give eachother a look. "Well John, your about to find out" john looks confused at Terry, and you bring out a white box, with a small remote and little stick on wires. "This is a period cramp simulator, and your going to try it. Y/N has tested it already. It does feel very similar to how cramps are. When she tested it, she had to stop at level 17 out of 20. That is what she feels every month. And you are going to experience what she feels" John looks a little sheepish. "Uhh Terry..." both you and Terry just raise an eyebrow, showing your not going to take any bullshit from him. "Uuugghh fine" you place the wires on his lower stomach, and pull his shirt back down. You start off slowly, levels 1 to 5 he seems to be playing it cool. "Yeh this-this is nothing really" he begins to twitch and break a sweat on his forehead. So you go up another 2 levels, and you can see he cant last much longer. "Im- I'm fine, uuuuhhhhh, this isn't nice. I dont like this. Have you tried this Terry?" He chuckles. "I actually did give it a go before you got hear. I managed to get to level 11 before I tapped out" "11! Hhsss ouch!" You can see tears in his eyes, right before he gives up. "Alright! Alright! I get it, please turn it off!" You press the stop button and John instantly relaxes. You walk up to him and put an arm on his shoulder. "Can you understand now John? You went to a lower level for 2 minutes. I have pains double that for days in a row. That's why it hurt when you said that to me the other day" he nods his head, to show he understands. "I'm sorry Y/N, I didnt know you had this much pain each time" "it's fine john, now, I have a question...would you like some chocolate?" John smiles. "I actually would, yes" you then all burst out into laughter.

Can you do when we collapse from not sleeping or over working when we are married to them kk3 ck
(kk3) I was standing in the kitchen making some coffee, it was already late again. Terry was still at the dojo and I worked for three people for two weeks now. I was exhausted, I definitely needed a break but it was too much work left. So I took my cup and made my way back into the office but as soon as I reached the hallway I felt dizzy. I leaned against the doorframe and tried to get my head clear but it didn't work. Suddenly everything started spinning and I collapsed on the floor. When I woke up I saw Terry standing in the living room talking to someone. I tried to sit up but my head hurt too much "Ouch..." Terry turned around and rushed over to me "God babe, are you alright? How do you feel?" "Exhausted and a little dizzy. What happened?" Terry took my hand in his and stroke it with his thumb "The doctor said you we're completely burned out and he's right babe. You need to rest from time to time." "" But my boss... " Terry looked at me with a serious expression" I already talked to your boss. He can't let you work till you pass out. You'll not work for that asshole again. " I got nervous" But Terry what should I do when I don't have a job. " he takes my face in his hands" Babe you take a rest. You need a break. The doctor said for two weeks.Please do me the favor. " I let myself sink into his arms." Okay honey, you're right! I'm sorry I didn't want to worry you. "
(CK) It was the first week without Terry, he was on a business trip in Japan and would be gone for a whole week. The house was so big and felt so cold and abandoned at night that it was difficult for me to get sleep. No matter what I tried but nothing really worked. "You look tired my love,is everything alright?" Terry asked during our video call. "Yes honey don't worry about me I just miss you so much and I can't wait to have you here again." he smiled at me "I miss you too my love, just a few days and I will be back home again." we said our goodbyes and hung up. My body was exhausted and I was beyond tired but I still was not able to get some rest. After another night of insomnia I heard the front door open, I got up from the sofa and saw Terry entering the house." Surprise my love!" he said with open arms, I walked over to him and collapsed in his arms. When I woke up again it was already dark. "Where am I?" Terry came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea. "Hey sweetheart how do you feel?" he sits next to me on the couch. "Better much better since you're home again. I... I didn't sleep much the last nights." Terry pulled me into his arms. "I know my love, that's why I came home earlier. Sweetheart why weren't you honest with me?" I looked down and played with my fingers. "I didn't want to bother you you were so busy..." he didn't let me finish "Sweetheart I'm never too busy for you. You're the most important person in my life. Promise me that you will be more careful and honest with me in the future." I nodded and gave him a soft kiss on the lips "I promise honey."

You stumble back into the carnival, still hyped about the ride, "I can't believe it! We have to add that to our set!!" Jenna enthuses.
Harley laughs, "Most places only let us play 20 minutes, Master would take up almost half of that"
"But we can be ahead of the curve. The game isn't out yet, and when it does come out, well, already be able to play Master, people will be biting at the bit to have us play their dives," Terry says, holding Harley by the shoulders and then turns to you, "Think you can Master it on lead?" He wiggles his eyebrows at his lousy joke as you roll your eyes.
"I can give it a shot", you agree, and the rest of the band cheer.
"You know I saw something today, and I dunno, I think it's the answer to making it," you say dreamily.
"You saw hard work and perseverance", Jenna laughs.
"No, nothing as logical as all that." You grab your phone and show them the guitar, "This!"
"An old guitar?" Terry says, confused.
"I can't even describe it. I saw it and just felt like, this is it. The answer to everything. She was just hanging in the window there" you wave towards the 2nd hand store.
Harley takes your phone, "This is a BC Rich Warlock. I'm not sure it's exactly right for our sound." She says, looking it over again.
"I know it in my gut Harley, just like when I saw that squire, and it led me to all of you. But, this was just way more intense." You say, remembering gazing over it in the shop.
Terry frowns, "But that's why you love your strat, right? It's special?"
"So where are you gonna get the money? It's like $600, and it's battered to hell." Harley adds.
Jenna holds her arm gently, "Maybe they are right. They were right about the guitar, the job, and us. This might just be the level up."
You smile wide at Jenna and take your phone back, "Anyway, wanna do the walkthrough?" you say, putting your rubber gloves back on in an attempt to change the subject.
"Yeah!!" Terry shouts, jumping on your back, "Onward!"
"You gotta watch your face on my bat, dude", you chuckle, giving him a piggyback to the entrance.
Inside there is a mixture of scenes set up for photo opportunities with the games' bosses and some live actor parts where they jumped out and clean scared you to death.
One demodog animatronic made you jump so bad you fell into the gnarly tree next to you, and as you got up, you nicked yourself on something.
"Damn! Wounded by foliage!" You laugh, showing the others.
"Ouch, dude. That looks deep," Harley says, holding your hand up.
"Ah, tis but a scratch," you say, laughing, wrapping it up in a bandana from your pocket.
Terry is running over to the giant mind Flayer model and pointing at it enthusiastically. He holds out his hand to Harley, "Mrs Weller?" She runs over with Jenna to get their picture taken.
You have a look around elsewhere. Photos were not on the cards tonight; you could hear your father say another money pit in your head.
You sigh and take a little stroll around, and that's when you see the set of the model of the guitarist on the trailer.  His head is thrown back, holding the guitar, mid solo.
You quickly take your phone out and compare it to the guitar in the store. It looks almost the same, but the body colours are switched, and the woodwork is much darker overall.
You take a closer look at the model, the guitar is just a prop, not playable, but it still looked incredible.
"A real beauty isn't she," a voice says from behind you. You spin around quickly. It's the guy from the ride.
"She sure is", you nod, unable to contain your smile.
He looks you over and smiles back.
"I'm sorry about being weird earlier. I didn't recognise you. That's the first time I've seen any visual promo material for the new game" you apologise.
"Oh?" He says, tilting his head and folding his arms.
"Yeah, it was pretty stupid of me. It was the first run of the ride. Of course, some of the cast would be in it." You say faux face-palming yourself, "It's a real honour to meet you" You extend a handshake at him, forgetting about the bandana on your hand, "Ah shit, sorry."
He takes your injured hand in his own and opens up the bandana carefully. He takes a deep breath, "You should probably get that cleaned up properly."
"It's fine, really. It's only a scratch," you say, trying to sound tougher than you were.
He lets out a soft laugh, "Is that so?" He ties your hand back up gently, you can almost taste a tension between you, but you are unsure what kind it is.
"Say would you like to play her?" He asks, stepping backwards and standing at his full height.
"Who?" You say confused.
"The guitar?" He says, grinning widely.
"I thought it was just a prop?" You ask.
"Oh, this one? Yep, that's not real. But I happen to know where she is." He says coyly, "Wanna meet her?" He says, looking at the ground and then into your eyes.
You look back at your friends, who are in another photo queue, and then back at him. "Is it far?" You ask.
"Oh no, it's right behind the backdrop. They'll probably bring her out later for some clumsy-fingered oaf to play." the corner of his lip twitches as he says it.
"Will we get in trouble, and is it free?" You ask, concerned.
His smile widens, "With me, no one is going to give you any problems, trust me. I believe she doesn't charge on the first date". He raises an eyebrow and laughs.
You look back at your friends again. Terry gives you a wave and acts out, being annoyed at how long the queue is. You smile and give him a thumbs up.
"You know what...that would be amazing!"
He pushes his elbow at you to link his arm, and you accept.
You step behind the displays to the backdrop and step through it. It feels like you pass through a few curtains all at once until you get behind the scenes. The floor is filled with a subtle smoke machine, creating a low level of mist around a small stage area.
On it is the set-up from the ride, a bunch of amps and resting against them was the guitar. Your pulse races, and you want to say something, but all that comes out is a small whimper.
"Go get her then," he says, unlinking your arm, guiding you forward with his hand on the small of your back.
You nervously look back at him as he waves you on.
You take off your gloves, shove them in your back pocket and pick up the guitar gently. A hum from the strings rings out as you do, reverberating through your entire body, mind and soul.
You look the guitar over, its pick-ups glinting at you. Finally, gently plug it into the smallest amp and drape the strap around yourself.
She drops down between your waist and hips, and you feel a magnetic pull from the guitar's body, drawing your form to it. It feels like heaven.
It then you realise you've closed your eyes and have just been standing there for a while. You shake your head and laugh nervously, "Sorry, I'm not sure what happened there."
He says nothing, just moves his hand to indicate 'carry on.'
You reach into your back pocket, find a pick, and gently glide it from the pick-ups to the headstock. The guitar lurches and roars in the most beautiful way you've ever heard. It felt like kick-starting a giant motorcycle.
You look at your hands. They are shaking. Then look over at him again. He's closer now, "Go ahead...play something", his dark eyes glint in the low light.
"I'm sure I won't do her justice," you say with your words, but playing this thing is all your hands and brain can think about right now.
He smiles broadly, getting closer still, "She will let you know if she doesn't like it. Don't you worry about that"
What was he talking about? Was he high? Were you high?
Your hands are already positioned before you've even thought about what you want to play.
You laugh, look down at your hands, and say quietly to yourself, "Really? That one?"
You oblige your hands and strum the opening riffs of 'Highway to Hell'
You look up again, and he's closer again, this time with a sly smile and tapping his foot to a non-existent beat.
You botch a chord because the bandana gets in the way of the strings, and pain surges like an electric shock up your arm.
"Jesus Christ", you exclaim, shaking your arm.
"Told you," he says, laughing.
You stand there panting for a minute, looking him straight into his almost pitch-black eyes.
"Maybe, she's not for you," he says, stepping forward to take the guitar from you.
You feel yourself scowl at him, put your pick between your teeth, rip off the bandana from around your palm, and launch into the solo.
And that's when it happens.
You hear the whole song all around you, a 360 spin into a wall of sound, all the other instruments, as the guitar howls, and you sing along with it.
Singing was not something you did. That was Harley and Jenna's department. You'd never even heard yourself sound like this.
You're screaming the outro as your fingers dance across the strings.
"I'm on a highway to hell," you say quietly and drop to your knees, careful to hold the guitar, so she doesn't hit the floor.
You shakily take her from around you and place her back where she was. You rub your eyes, look around and hear a slow clap from the amps. He's leaning against them, biting his lip, looking at you expectantly.
You gulp and wipe the sweat from your brow, "Where can I get a guitar like that?" You ask with desperation.
He pouts, "Oh, this guitar...well, she's one of a kind..." He starts
"Well, how much is she" you snap and then quickly slap your hand over your mouth.
He smiles devilishly, "She's not for sale, I'm afraid, but..."
"But what?" You rush up to him and grab onto the lapels of his leather jacket, "But what??" You repeat.
He is not phased by your antics and gently strokes your arm, "She wasn't made alone. She has a twin" his eyes sparkle directly into yours.
Your eyes go wide, "I saw her. I saw her today! I knew it!" You feel like you've lost your mind.
"Oh, you did?" He smiles and runs his tongue over his teeth, "Well, isn't that such a delicious coincidence."
You look down and realise you are still gripping onto his jacket. You let go and step back, laughing awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Erm, I don't know what came over me, I think Erm...yeah, just all the excitement from the night and playing the guitar."
He smirks at you and smooths down his jacket, "Oh, no need for an apology, Y/N, my dear. I do love a good show. Maybe I could come to see your band sometime?"
You smile back at him, "That would be great...oh but um...do you like metal?"
He cackles, holding his sides, "Oh, I do like it here." He says quietly to himself and then turns back to you, "I do partake in metal, yes."
"Ah, good, that's kind of our genre." But then, something strikes you, "Hey, how did you know my name and that I was in a band?"
He laughs, "Well, you told me, of course, don't you remember?" He looks puzzled at you.
You laugh, but genuinely you didn't remember doing that at all. "I guess I did", you shrug, scratching the back of your neck awkwardly.
"Well, I've had a ball, but I've got places to be. I'll see you around, honey," he says, walking away.
"Hey, what's your name?" You call after him.
He spins on his heel, still walking away backwards, "Call me Eddie. Everybody does, darling."
