Two Ghosts

In 5 - 7 minutes of Behind the Album there is footage of Harry working on the melody, lyrics and recording two ghosts in Jamaica in late 2016. He goes on to moving from 1D where his personal life was overexposed and wanting to write music that was successful without people knowing about his personal life. He has made a similar comment to Rolling Stone “I don’t know much about Van Morrison’s life, but I know how he felt about this girl, because he put it in a song. So I like working the same way.”

When was it written

On it's release in May 2017 Harry said it was written “almost 4 years ago now”. in Summer 2013, Midnight Memories had his first writing credits, Happily and Something Great, Style was not written then. While possible, Two Ghosts is more mature. I think he thought he “wrote too many songs about” her and changed the time.

By 2019 he'd moved on and he told Rolling Stone it was written for Made in the AM. (Summer, 2015.) That places it with Walking on the wind, if I could fly, Olivia and Perfect, which also refer to 1989. FTDT and Woman are the same period, but don’t have lyrics that ID them like two ghosts.

To me, Two Ghosts is about reflecting on a lost love. The premise os the song reflects the Style MV which has Harry and Taylor shot in a ghostly way. The Style MV was released Valentines Day 2015, the anniversary of them getting together in 2014.

It has only been played live once since 2018, on Valentines Day 2020, further indicated it may have been written on Valentines Day 2015. Harry choose it over Golden when promoting Fine Line on Radio 2's Valentines Show in 2020, (16 mins), the only time it's been played in 4 years now. Harry also played Joni Mitchell’s yellow taxi which Joni tweeted about the anniversary of.

1D was in Australia, HS was flat. Style was #6, named after him and with footage is intentionally reminiscent. Even more interesting that we never saw the Two Ghosts MV, though Taylor referenced it in Me!'s.

On holding it back to be Solo

From Rolling Stone: "Sometimes if you’re, like, telling a really personal story, then the voice changes every few lines; it doesn’t quite do the same thing. As the songs got more personal, I think I just became more aware that at some point there might be a moment where I would want to sing it myself.”

"A turning point was “Two Ghosts,” a ballad from his solo debut. “’Two Ghosts’ I wrote for the band, for Made in the A.M. But the story was just a bit too personal. As I started opening up to write my more personal stuff, I just became aware of a piece of me going, ‘I want to sing the whole thing.’ Now I look at a track list and these are all my little babies. So every time I’m playing a song, I can remember writing it, and exactly where we were and exactly what happened in my life when I wrote it."

Questions on who it’s about

Nick Grimshaw asked Harry (at 4:38) if it was about Taylor. Media trained, 5 year seasoned TS question dodger, Harry had an adorable reaction. He and Nick are friends, he’s being coy and laughing, answering “I think it’s pretty self explanatory” adding “I think it’s about, sometimes things change, and you can do all the same things, and sometimes it’s just different, you know? 2017, Philosopher, London, England.” Then he laughs and dances around.

Lyrics

Same lips red, same eyes blue Same white shirt, couple more tattoos But it's not you and it's not me Tastes so sweet, looks so real Sounds like something that I used to feel But I can't touch what I see

The song clearly references Style, the music video for which was filmed in November 2014 while they were together and released in February 2015 after they broke up while he was in Australia.

The video is meant to be something he used to feel, that looks real but he can’t touch. It shows Taylor and Harry-stand-in with projections, playing with light and it’s interspersed with home video footage. The footage is thought to be shot in part by Harry, or at least wearing outfits she was pictured with him in.

We're not who we used to be We're not who we used to be We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

In the chorus moves from the reminder of the Video to the memory. Reflecting on looking at an idealised version of his relationship that’s now broken up and he’s grieving.

Taylor had referred to Harry as a ghost in How You Get The Girl “Stand there like a ghost shaking from the rain”

The fridge light washes this room white Moon dances over your good side And this was all we used to need Tongue-tied like we've never known Telling those stories we already told 'Cause we don't say what we really mean

In the second verse Harry reflects on their downfall, a lack of communication.

Taylor refers to herself as tongue-tied in Message in a bottle on Red “and I became hypnotised/ by freckles and bright eyes, tongue tied”

Harry later refers to being still tongue-tied in Sunflower Vol 6. Taylor also sang about not saying what the mean in Wish you Would: “You think I'm gonna hate you now / ‘Cause you still don't know what I never said”

We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

This may refer to being emotionally depleted, as in Ever Since New York: "Brooklyn saw me, empty at the news / There's no water inside this swimming pool"

Or it could refer to being in an ever shrinking microscope, Taylor later used a Snowglobe and Fishbowl in the Lover Video to represent being on display together.

Hi, how are you? 😊 Can I request some long tae/jk fic recs? Series or os, doesn't matter.

Hi. January was really bad for me and I've been super busy with work since February. I'm also going on a trip, so I won't have access to my computer until next week. But I hope you're doing well especially with the news we've recently gotten, or at least better than I am 🥲

I won't be putting all the long one shot/series I've read cos that'd be too many and I also don't have a lot of time before I need to leave for my flight. I'll just include below some personal favorite long one shots (with wc>10k) and series for both Jungkook and Taehyung.

* s - contains smut

J U N G K O O K

Baby Don’t Go (I’m Bad at Being Alone) by whoreternal - one shot (s) / wc~25k / friends to lovers

Blink And You’ll Miss It by satnin-darling - one shot (s) / wc~13.3k / lawyer!Jungkook, street racer!reader Summary: Jungkook is just trying to do his job by bailing you out (on top of being a busy attorney in the city) but you seem to be hell-bent on making that ten-times harder for him. Street racers aren’t known to be slow, in fact, you have the reputation of ‘blink and you’ll miss her,’ so what’s the deal?

Chasing Butterflies by ddaenggtan - one shot (s) / wc~12.8k / otaku!Jungkook, jock!reader, college au Summary: You never meant to be a jock in school. The volleyball team had just needed people and you were there and then you had a knack for it. You just happened to be good at it and went with it. Similar to how you saw Jeon Jungkook in your friend’s orientation group and thought he was absolutely radiant and just went with it. For two years. You’ve spent the entire time pining from afar, mostly because you always seem to make a fool of yourself when he’s around, but also because Jungkook is part of that exclusive crowd, the ones that you never can seem to penetrate: the weebs. That is, until your friends get sick of your hopeless pining and decide to do something about it.

Feels Like Summer by badbhye - one shot (s) / wc~16.6k / brother's best friend, neighbors au Summary: You only have one question on your mind this summer: when did Jeon Jungkook get abs?

Fifth Wish by jiminrings - one shot / wc~18k / rich kid!Jungkook, bodyguard!reader, fake dating Summary: Jeon Jungkook, world-class socialite and nepotism baby, should be out every night to celebrate while he’s at his prime. Why should he fake-date his bodyguard instead? Alternatively, Jungkook regularly throws coins to wishing wells with only one desire in mind — to get rid of you.

Gotcha by whatifyoulivelikethat - one shot (s) / wc~11k / childhood friends to lovers, college au Summary: The color blue. Two white hairpins. “Hey, Jungkook.” A laugh with shaking shoulders that Jeon Jungkook thought he would hear and see forever. Hey, Jungkook. But then those words became a memory, until she was standing in front of him again, sporting the title of “Virgin Killer” and Min Yoongi by her side. Was this his second chance or just another memory?

Habits of a Broken Heart by softykooky - one shot / wc~26.3k / art student!Jungkook, English student!reader, subtle enemies to lovers, soulmates au Summary: Jungkook and you are soulmates. So says the matching crescent moons on both your wrists. However, things are never as easy as they seem, and you are quick to learn that falling in love with someone who does not believe in love is a one-way ticket to heartbreak. Alternatively, “you still are, you know. Worth it.” You release a shaky breath. “but I was stupid to think that I am too.”

Late Fee by 1kook - one shot (s) / wc~10.3k / fuckboy!Jungkook, college au Summary: “Captain Underpants isn’t glorified by all the tryhards, so when I pick those books, you’re unknowingly more interested in me.”

Second Chances by parkhabits - one shot (s) / wc~14.4k / exes to lovers, divorce au Summary: Work. One of the most important things to him. It kept him company at night, it was all he thought about, all he put his attention to. His work had become the mistress within your marriage. Years after you left him you’re back with only one goal in mind. Get him to sign the damn divorce papers. Yet you should’ve known that your husband wouldn’t let you go that easily.

The Boy With Galaxies in His Eyes by oddinary4bts - one shot (s) / wc~52.9k / tattoo artist!reader, FWB, idol au Summary: You had never thought the night sky could be found in someone’s eyes. That is, until you met Jeon Jungkook and his gravity pulled you in. Will he crush you with the galaxies in his eyes, or will you learn to explore his worlds and make them yours?

The Monogamy Monologues by kpopfanfictrash - one shot (s) / wc~42.7k / wedding planner!reader, strangers to lovers Summary: The year? Some point after college. The occasion? Namjoon is getting married and the Rich Man’s Crochet Club has convened once again. Somewhere between the drinks and the laughter, everyone has the same realization: Jungkook has never been in a serious relationship. In the name of all that is holy (Overwatch and booze), the club’s mission is revived. Now though, their goal is much more perilous. Now, they aim to find Jeon Jungkook a girlfriend.

Twelve Hours by whatifyoulivelikethat - two shots (s) / film director!Jungkook, burlesque dancer!reader Summary: You have twelve hours to make Jeon Jungkook fall in love with you. He's about to get married. You're the entertainment at his bachelor party - a burlesque dancer. Long ago, he used to be the class representative and you used to be the class delinquent. Nothing has changed and, yet, everything has.

Airplane, Pt. 2 by xjoonchildx - series (s) / criminal!Jungkook, agent!reader Summary: Jungkook Jeon stole six million dollars. It’s your job to bring him home. But finding him – and keeping him in one place is not that simple. Then shit gets weird.

Ego by suga-kookiemonster - series (s) / fuckboy!Jungkook, college au Summary: What’s a girl to do when her sweet, innocent baby lab partner isn’t quite so sweet and innocent? Well, he’s a grown-ass man, and you’re about to learn that the hard way.

Four Seven Eight by jiminrings - series / actress!reader, established relationship Summary: You’re secure when it comes to loving Jungkook, knowing that your husband loves you beyond words. What you aren’t so secure about is his first love — someone who isn’t you. Alternatively, Jungkook’s married to you, but he still celebrates his anniversary with his ex out of sentimentality.

I Gasp Once, and in That Breath, I Accept You In [pt2] [epilogue] by inkofyoonkoo - series (s) / strangers to lovers, FWB Summary: In which Jungkook arrives to your small town to spend the holidays, and you slowly let go of all the ghosts of your past.

Liability by alexlwrites - series / best man!Jungkook, best friend!Taehyung, maid of honor!reader Summary: The one where your best friend of years and love of your life is getting married and wants you to be the maid of honor. Luckily for you, the best man is not exactly happy either.

Rattled by gukslut - series (s) / single dad!Jungkook, neighbors au

Woman on Top by heartbeatan - series (s) / actor!Jungkook, older!reader, producer!reader, FWB

T A E H Y U N G

I have this previous ask that I've answered before for long Taehyung fics. But I'll include here just a few of my favorite ones.

Always the Bridesmaid by kookingtae - one shot (s) / wc~34.1k / enemies to lovers Summary: When you first meet Kim Taehyung, you’re determined to find every reason you can to hate him—or maybe he’s just looking for ways to get on your last nerve. But when a turn of events has the two of you working the wedding of the man you’re hopelessly in love with, you’re too late to realize the real reason to hate Kim Taehyung is because of the latest column he’s secretly writing: “Always the Bridesmaid, Never the Bride”, and it’s all about you.

Dichotomy by kpopfanfictrash - one shot (s) / wc~14.5k / childhood friends to lovers, arranged marriage Summary: You hate him. He hates you. It’s a fine line though, isn’t it – between love and hate?

Farmer Boy, I Love You by strawberrynamjoon - one shot (s) / wc~35k / childhood friends to lovers, farming au Summary: Needing change in your life you decided it would be a brilliant idea to move to your uncle’s small farm, helping him and your cousin Jimin with the daily work. What you didn’t plan was to fall in love with your beautiful yet very annoying neighbour Taehyung, who seemed to make it his personal mission to tease you every chance he got. And what you expected even less was that he seemed to like you too.

Let It Snow by suga-kookiemonster - one shot (s) / wc~18.8k / FWB Summary: It all started by accident, but it continues by choice—even before you began sleeping together, things with your friend Taehyung have always been comfortable and easy. Simple, and this new arrangement between you is certainly no exception to that rule. Well…that’s definitely what you thought before a major snowstorm traps the two of you in his apartment over the holidays. Now? Now, it is quickly becoming apparent that things are a bit more complicated than you realized.

Love Me or We Both Go Down by gukyi - one shot (s) / wc~32k / enemies to lovers, arranged marriage Summary: After going through with an arranged marriage to please his parents and secure his inheritance of the family business, Kim Taehyung thinks he’s got it all figured out. He doesn’t. Apparently just being married to you isn’t enough, not when everybody and their mother can pick up on the fact that the two of you absolutely loathe each other. But Taehyung wants his inheritance one way or another, so he decides that desperate times call for desperate measures: the two of you need to fall in love, and you need to fall in love fast.

Moon Breaker by magicalsalamander - one shot (s) / wc~17k / werewolf au Summary: Tales as old as time were passed through the werekind. If a human and a kind were to be mates, the moon would take them, the misfortune, to serve the Goddess. Taehyung, a kind, had always heard of the tales told by his elders. The alpha of his kind. He didn’t expect to find his mate, one of the non-kinds. Would the moon reap her back?

No Blueberries by gyukult - one shot / wc~12.3k / college au Summary: No more!Taehyung gets his heartbroken to the point he doesn’t even love his favorite fruit, blueberries, anymore. Then he meets you, the complete opposite of the girl of his dreams, and suddenly, blueberries taste sweet again.

Rubies and Roses by min-youngis - one shot / wc~40k / strangers to lovers, fake dating Summary: Being a fake girlfriend slash fiancée slash wife for hire is a very lucrative business, and quite straightforward. But none of your previous clients have been Kim Taehyung, who wants access to his trust fund and thinks he can convince his parents that he can be responsible with it by proving that he can hold down a mature, completely normal and not-at-all fake relationship. This isn’t any job, and the boundaries between customer and something more are about to get increasingly blurry.

The Holi-Date by kpopfanfictrash - one shot (s) / wc~40.5k / fake dating, neighbors au Summary: When your ex-boyfriend becomes engaged to his new girlfriend at your annual Holiday party, you admittedly are not in the best place. Which explains why you down six shots of alcohol, enthusiastically drop it low on the dance floor and – oh, yeah – tell everyone you are also dating someone. The only problem? You are obviously not. Good thing your neighbor happens to be cute and in need of a ride to work every morning.

Upstream Colour by honeymoonjin - one shot (s) / wc~22.7k / strangers to lovers Summary: Escaping to Venice for a break from your strenuous job was meant to be simple. Go there, decompress for two weeks, and return feeling invigorated. But the soulful gondolier you meet on the docks in Saint Mark’s Square has you wanting to never leave at all.

Bed Bereft [epilogue] [drabbles] by randombtsprincessa - one shot + drabbles (s) / ft KSJ, best friend!Taehyung, polyamory au Summary: You’ve loved your college best friend for ages, too bad he’s got a boyfriend. Twisted decisions lead to revelations about sexualities, secrets, feelings and confrontations.

4:23 AM by satnin-darling - series (s) / FWB, idol au Summary: You indirectly confessed to Yoongi. Well, it was all Taehyung’s fault (you don’t know that yet). So in the midst of drowning yourself in your sorrows, Taehyung comes to visit you because inadvertently, he too has a broken heart. Then, a misunderstanding, followed by an apology. But the apology was not in the way that you think an apology should have been, and maybe, just maybe, you’d find it in yourself forgive him.

Because of You, Blue by ugh-yoongi - series (s) / exes to lovers Summary: Nearly a year out from your breakup with Taehyung, Jin begs you for help saving his failing restaurant. The two of you aren’t exactly friends, but you feel some stupid sense of obligation and, really, what’s the worst that could happen?

Destructive Interference by vyduan - series (s) / childhood friends to lovers Summary: You do not remember a time before Taehyung Kim — only the after. The afters, if you are being precise. If only the afters were not so akin to little deaths; perhaps you would not have minded so much. Alas, such knowledge is a posteriori. What is the use of regret on hardwon facts such as these? It is too late. There is no time before Taehyung Kim for you; he just is. A priori. Is there a time before your parents or your brother? They are and thus have always. There is not enough time. There is never enough time.

The President's Son by jimlingss - series / bodyguard au Summary: Kim Taehyung is the President’s son, mischievous and playful, and infamous for being a troublemaker. When everyone’s given up, they call for you to be his personal guard. There’s no other choice when your dad’s assigned you to it and surprisingly Taehyung doesn’t mind either. Maybe because you happened to grow up with that brat.

You can also check these tags for the lists I've made for one shots (Jungkook, Taehyung) and series (Jungkook, Taehyung).

Vulpin Headcanon Lore

For those unaware, Vulpin is the home of Ben’s transformation Wildmutt, a Vulpimancer.

Vulpin is, simply put, hell.

Vulpin has been used as a garbage dumping ground for plants across the Galaxy. Have something that would erode the very surface of a planet? That does to Vulpin.

The planet is so densely polluted that its near entirety is pitch black. Leading to most of its inhabitants losing any need for sight. Whatever creatures manage to survive these conditions must contend with freezing temperatures and poison forests.

The dominant species is the Vulpimancer. Most of the galaxy considers them to be simply minded beasts. However, they are an intelligent species like any Human or Tetramand. They are a social species and stalks of them (meaning a group of them) are incredibly close knit.

Vulpimancers have underground dens in Vulpin’s cave systems. During Vulpin’s brief summer, they will enter a semi-hibernation (comparable to Earth bears). During this season, the planet’s atmosphere becomes congested to an even greater degree. This results in killing the less “strong willed” flora and fauna. This is actually incredibly important for maintaining Vulpin’s fragile ecosystem. Once this ends and the Vulpimancers leave their semi-hibernation, they return to the surface to hunt.

Contrary to popular belief, a healthy adult Vulpimancer does not look like this:

[ID: Two pale blue Vulpimancers from Empty Handed. End ID]

But rather this:

[ID: Ben 10,000’s Wildmutt from OS. End ID]

Even the most adapted Vulpin residents are not immune its effects. Resulting in an identical genetic deformity amongst Vulpimancers. The only reference to a healthy adult is Ben Tennyson’s.

Though their juvenile counterparts deserve their own attention. Young Vulpimancer differ somewhat drastically from adults, the most obvious visual difference is their lack of tail.

Vulpimancer pups (a slang term) are tree climbers, in contrast to the terrestrial adults. They do this to stay out of danger when the group hunts. Pups lack the need for a long tail because of their stout back legs and wide stance. As adults are more active on the ground (and therefore run for greater lengths) they grow out their tail for better balance. Though, technically speaking pups do have a tail, it just has not broken past their skin.

Additionally, pups have quills covering their back and forelegs. It is a common misconception that they are able to shoot these quills. Rather, they simply duck their head, letting their attacker injure themselves.

One of the most commonly asked questions regarding Vulpimancers is “what makes their language untranslatable?”

Well… nothing.

Vulpimancers are intentionally excluded from Universal Translators.

You see, it’s hard to justify the constant poisoning of a planet full of intelligent life. However, a planet full of rapid animals, that is much easier to sell. So if you take away their language, it’s very easy to believe Vulpimancers are more animal that person.

Of course, there are species that would include Vulpimancer language, but you can’t program a translation if the language isn’t properly documented.

(Though it should be noted that Ben isn’t speaking any language as Wildmutt. He could speak it, but he doesn’t actually know it)

Though, Vulpimancer’s aren’t the only sapient species on Vulpin.

One of the others is the Vulpinic Pelarota (also called Vulpinic Tortugans).

Vulpinic Pelarota are a subspecies of the Arburian Pelarota. Unfortunately, due to the destruction of Arburia has left the subspecies with greater numbers than their main counterparts.

The history of how and, more notably, why a small population of Tortugans immigrated to the toxic Vulpin is unknown. The Vulpinic Pelarota are not eager to share, and it’s not clear if even they haven’t lost their history to time.

Tortugans live each day as if the planet could destroy itself the same day. As such they have no need to develop a currency or large scale trading. Instead, they try to divide all available resources throughout their colony.

Vulpinic Pelarota have dark grey skin and their arms duck under their head, positioning their head in front of them. They have lost the shells their ancestors are famous for.

However, the Arburian Pelarota's ability to maneuver around their surroundings in ball form via the short fur on their body, registering shifts in air and motion around, which gives them a form of echolocation with their hearing, is greatly enhanced. Their eyes may have shrunk, but their visibility has not been impaired. Additionally, Vulpinic Pelarota have larger teeth and frontal claws.

They are considered more primitive than the Arburian species. Despite their usual perception, this is only true in their technology level. This is most likely caused by Vulpin's difference in natural resources.

The Tortugans are a very territorial, paranoid society. They live nearly exclusively underground in the planet's cave systems. Rarely, a few may journey to the surface, but they isn't any history of above ground settlements.

They build settlements by finding a large enough area (and one that doesn’t interfere with Vulpimancer territory) and digging out from there. They build stone walls around there home to deter others from entering.

Vulpinic Pelarota hunt mainly aquatic life found in the cave’s river system. They catch these creatures with their long, prehensile tongues.

In theory, Vulpimancers and the Tortugans could be peaceful neighbors. Unfortunately, the latter rarely trusts members of their own species from other colonies, and have no interest in putting the the first foot forward. Or letting the Vulpimancers do it themselves, for the matter.

They exist on “avoid any interaction with each other” terms more-so than hostile ones. Though there is always the accidental meetings that turn violent.

It seemed that Vulpin would never be unified. However, there may still be hope. Thanks to a recent addition to the universe, and Vuplin's third sapient species; the Cerebroian Currmarys.

The free reign dumping on Vulpin from other worlds only grew more chaotic as time passed (and as the planet grew worse). Seeing that Vulpin needs to be organized (so it can continue being a toxic trash dump), the Cerebrocrustaceans stepped in. They are a hyper-intelligent species from Encephalonus IV, a planet from a neighboring system.

The Cerebrocrustaceans decided to create a sentinel work force to monitor and maintain order when when other species wanted to use Vulpin’s dumps.

They were build to be stationed in the semi-industrialized portion of the planet.

Their power source was just as volatile as the planet they were to guard. They run off pure nuclear energy.

The Cerebrocrustaceans would not be satisfied by simply making robots. Not in any way motivated by the Galvan’s creation of the Galvanic Mechamorph, the creators sought to create life. Their AI would bond with the very atomic energy that powered them.

The AI was simple, designed to make them Vulpin’s guards.

However, one Cerebrocrustacean thought: What would be most fitting of a protector? The answer was clear: heroism.

Thus, the Cerebroian Currmarys were born.

Their creators stationed them on Vulpin. They were left so the Cerobrocrustaceans could boast of their accomplishments.

Though, the funny thing about creating a species versus robots.

The species won’t remain in one place. It was only a matter of time before they met the Vulpimancers.

Well, the Currmarys were built to be protectors of Vulpin. That includes all of the planet.

And being built to be heroic meant putting its people first.

The Cerebroian Currmarys abandoned their original purpose. They sought to maintain the balance of Vulpin, for the sake of its inhabitance.

As it turns out, Vulpimancers are quite social to people they don’t consider prey. The two species were quickly able to ally together, regardless of the language barrier.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the Tortugans. They did not accept the Currmary as members of Vulpin, rather seeing them as foreign invaders.

Despite the other two species attempts at speaking with the Tortugans, they were both considered enemies and threats. The subspecies still has not budged to this day.

With one species considered merely a beast, another savages, and the third machines, all unable to form proper unity, a peaceful protection of Vulpin does not seem to be in the near future.

However, the Currmary will protect their planet, no matter what it takes.

Standing by my shoes a flower is blooming. Fire flowers filled the night with their booming. Maybe in the sky, I could leave behind my heart and it’s weeping. Summer days are all that I am dreaming~

A rose colored glasses Mothwing picking flowers across the river. Fireworks Beneath my Shoes is such a mothpool song I adore it so much and was listening to it on loop while drawing this- I’m sketching a anthro piece with these with moth and leaf right after I post this with this song again lol

(ID- Mothwing is standing to the left with her head looking to the camera and pretty orangy amber eye looking off to the right. Her front paw is up and a woven satchel hangs off it, small purple flowers inside it just like the ones dotting the ground under their paws. She is a peachy orange kind of color with brown down their back, mane, hair floof, and tail. A white stripes goes down from their chin, chest, and belly with a moth marking on her chest just like the one on their back which is brown instead. Willow leaves hang off her ears on two tendrils with two more bracelets of it on her tail and a lilypad on their tail. Under them is very messy windswept grass, small purple flowers dotting it and a river right at the base which her tail sweeps over. Behind them os a massive willow tree mostly just showing off its hanging leaves. Watercolor shading is across the whole piece with mostly purples, blues and pinks and over that shading is a general wash of pinks. Version without the pink overlay underneath. End ID)

Mothpool my loves<3333

I am so tired so I’m just gonna post and pass out lol but I wanted to draw them. Also changed my Leafpool design to be more Leafpool, her other eye is the same green but with blue while her left is green with orange. Cuddle cats <<3333333

(ID- Leafpool is laying down with her back against a tree, her tail curled up, and her paws around Mothwing who is cuddled into her. Leafpool is a light brown with orange markings on her cheek, nose, tail, paws, and side. Cream is on her belly, muzzle, ear tufts, tail tip, and toe tips. A darker color stripes around her pelt with a few black markings on her hair, tail tip, and back leg. She is looking down at Mothwing with a sweet amber and green eye, a small smile on her face. Mothwing is curled up on Leaf with her front leg over Leaf’s side, her other wrapped under, his tail swooping up, and his back leg curled up. She is mostly pale yellow with peach on her face, ears, and back legs. And brown is on her hair, mane, tail, back, and paws with a darker brown striped down her tail on her paws, on her back legs, on her muzzle, and on her hair tuft. Light cream is on her belly, chin, paws, and tail tip. He is sleeping with a soft expression. Grass is under them with purple flowers dotting the grass, a tree on the left, and purple shading across them with light pink highlights. End ID)

Demon inspired Mapleshade for @bonefall ‘s “Better Call Mapleshade” au that I adore. She’d definitely stand out in Starclan and everyone pretty much on sight would know she’s from the DF. I think her hooves would make that clop clop clop noise as she walks and as she strolls up to the her council all the cats who don’t like her (mostly Moth Flight) all they hear is her hooves and know exactly who’s about to show up. She’s amazing and I love this design so much.

(ID- Mapleshade is standing to the left with her head slightly turned to the right and back legs sprawled out to give her a wider stance, her back front paw raised up and her tail twisting upwards. She is a cherry red kind of color with dark almost black back legs, streaks down her eyes, and on her ears. Over her face is a mask shape in a darker red that also goes down her back, and dripping down her front leg. Her fur has a very wavy almost weightless feel especially on her face and on her ears twirls in a cyclone like shape, the same as inside her ears and on her tail. Her chest, paws, tail, ear tufts, and inner ear tufts are mixes of a pink and pale almost white pink color. Her white mane twisted to make a sort of cravat shape. The end of her tail is twisted to make a spade referring back to devil tail imagery and her back paws are replaces with hooves. Her sclera are black with a flame for her pupil and the same flamey colors on her eyelashes. On the corner of her lip is a little heart beauty mark in black. Her lineart has a bright magenta over it giving into the evil feel. End ID)

Also just for Refrence Maple is HUGE especially compared to Moth Flight who is pretty short lol. She’s massive and I love her.

Ratatattstststtst

Knew how I wanted to draw these two so I drew Apo and Owen! Took a bit to get used to more human proportions but I like how they came out. The minute I saw parkour on Apo’s sheet I knew I had to draw him in a tree, little rat guys. Semi made to parallel eachother even tho we don’t know if they’ll be close in RatsSMP.

(Apo is the first image and is sat on a tree branch with dark spruce leaves all around him, his pink rat tail curled up to him and little rat paws holding onto the branch. He has dusty brown hair that swoops up under his rounded ears and falls over his eyes. He has a big nose and mischievous Berry colored eyes. A short red coat is over his shoulders with a blue stripes shirt under and black pants. The faint signature “Nightly Ruse” is on his tail)

(Owen is the second image and is sitting with his legs hanging over a block of wood. He has orange-ish brown eyes and a kind expression on his face, tufts on his chin and pink ears like his tail. His hair is a brown with pointier ears, a thicker rat tail, and sharper nose. Glasses are on his head with a earring pierced through his back ear. His shirt is a brick kind of red with brown on his rolled up sleeves and collar. A green cloth is wrapped his waist and a piece flies off to the right. His back arm is up in a wave with soft yellow light over him and a background of dappled leaves. The faint signature “Nightly Ruse” is on the wood block near his hand.)

My #1 post of 2022

Gosh okay but the story of Hawkfrost being a creation of the clans still vying hatred for each other and clear aggression and how power is so easily manipulated is so good. I hate hate hate when he’s just pushed down into ‘born evil/genetic evil’ bc it’s so dumb and I hate it.

He was brought in and immediately outcast. Taken in a horrible time when Riverclan were recovering still from Tigerstar’s claws him and his sister were treated horribly. They both learned that the world isn’t fair and they had to fight for what others were born with. Hawk took this in a more aggressive way, thinking the only way he’d ever be anything was to take it while Moth worked her fur off to show she was good enough at all. He gets praise for being loyal and cruel to outsiders while shamed for holding his heritage or letting his softer side out, especially by his mentor Leopardstar. Others attention on him is like a full belly. He needs it he has to have it. So he trains to be stronger, more charismatic, smart, tougher then his brutish father who was so one sided. The only ones he could be open to were his sister and then his brother. They must be feeling the same way he was? Scrapping for sunshine? But he couldn’t leave them behind he had to get them what they wanted, high spots in the clans just beside him.

Hawk fakes the sign for Moth finally showing she was worthy of being a healer to the tough Mudfin(claw). And he sets up a plan to get Bramble as leader! Seeing his siblings and him prove everyone wrong fuels him with happiness. He’s at the lake. Standing over Firestar with a smile across his face, practically able to taste the power soon to come to his blood. But Brambleclaw won’t accept it? Why can’t he see what they can become? Hawk is angry, fueled like his heart was on fire he attacks Bramble but then it stops. A stake through the chest. Pain not from his wound but form the betrayal in his belly. He was so lost in power he fell in a fools way. He was nothing but a blinded firefly, bright but unable to see it for himself.

Tell us something about yourself that nobody else knows. I really dislike going out to eat or ordering takeaway because I always feel like my cooking tastes better. So, if I'm ever eating out it's only for the convenience or the social aspects; but never for the food.    What do you enjoy doing in your own time? In my own time I enjoy watching TV, cooking, going for walks with my son, and reading articles and novels. When I have a lot of time I love taking my son and going on little holidays in rural bed and breakfasts in different parts of the UK.    Tell us a bit about your journey as a dancer. I started with a ballet/tap class in my home island, Bermuda. Over the years, alongside dancing at my local dance school I attended summer dance courses in different parts of the US - New York, North Carolina, and Los Angeles. When I was 21 years old I decided to pursue a professional career in dance and found Ballet Cymru, based in Newport, Wales. I performed and toured with Ballet Cymru for 8 years all over the UK, China, and Bermuda. In 2020 I began to develop myself as a filmmaker. Drawing from my dance background, I experiment with the line between screendance and scripted drama. Alongside my filmmaking, I create dance theatre works for stage and public spaces. 

If you had to pick one thing, what are you most passionate about?Empowering people. In all I do, my driving force is to empower people to be free to live the lives they were made to live. 

What makes you angry? Social Injustice. My longing for an egalitarian world is my driving force.  If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? Every person would have a home.     Do you feel connected to nature and/or wildlife and if so, tell us a bit about when you first found an interest or felt connected. In Bermuda, where I was born and raised, the ocean can be seen everywhere you go.  Bright blue as far as the eye can see. 

When I moved to Wales I got to see a different kind of sea. Wild and wandering green where ever I look. The moss that covers the river near my house, the tall trees I pass everyday, and the massive hills only a short drive away from where I live.  

I've always loved and connected to nature, from spending hours and hours playing outdoors with my siblings when I was a child to going for long walks through nature reserves with my son. It's in nature, the imperfect, unrefined spaces outdoors that I feel free to think and breathe - to write and create.  *** Krystal S Lowe Dawnsiwr, Coreograffydd, Awdur, Cyfarwyddwr, Gwneuthurwr Ffilmiau linktr.ee/Krystalslowe Llun gan Matt Horwood Dywedwch rywbeth amdanoch chi eich hun nad oes neb arall yn ei wybod. Dydw i ddim yn hoffi mynd allan i fwyta nac archebu bwyd i fynd oherwydd rydw i bob amser yn teimlo bod fy nghoginio i’n blasu’n well. Felly, os ydw i byth yn bwyta allan, mae hynny ond er hwylustod neu er mwyn mwynhau’r agweddau cymdeithasol, ond nid er mwyn y bwyd.  Beth ydych chi’n mwynhau ei wneud yn eich amser rhydd? Yn fy amser rhydd, rwy’n mwynhau gwylio’r teledu, coginio, mynd am dro gyda fy mab, a darllen erthyglau a nofelau.

Pan oeddwn yn 21 oed, penderfynais ddilyn gyrfa broffesiynol ym maes dawns ac fe wnes i ddod o hyd i gwmni Ballet Cymru, yng Nghasnewydd, Cymru.

Grymuso pobl. Ym mhopeth rwy’n ei wneud, fy ngreddf yw grymuso pobl i fod yn rhydd i fyw’r bywyd maen nhw eisiau ei fyw. Beth sy'n dy wneud di’n flin? Anghyfiawnder cymdeithasol. Mae’r ffaith fy mod yn dyheu am fyd egalitaraidd yn fy sbarduno.  Pe gallet ti newid un peth am y byd, beth fyddai hynny? Bod gan bob person gartref.     Ydych chi’n teimlo’n gysylltiedig â natur a/neu fywyd gwyllt, ac os felly, dywedwch wrthym pryd wnaethoch chi ddarganfod eich diddordeb neu deimlo cysylltiad â natur am y tro cyntaf.

Pan symudais i Gymru, cefais weld math gwahanol o fôr. Gwyllt a gwyrddni crwydrol lle bynnag y byddaf yn edrych. Mae’r mwsogl sy’n gorchuddio’r afon ger fy nhŷ, y coed tal rydw i’n eu pasio bob dydd, a’r bryniau enfawr ond yn daith fer o lle rydw i’n byw.  

Rydw i wedi caru a theimlo cyswllt â byd natur erioed, o dreulio oriau ac oriau’n chwarae yn yr awyr agored gyda fy mrodyr a chwiorydd pan oeddwn yn blentyn, i fynd am dro hir drwy warchodfeydd natur gyda fy mab. Mewn natur, y lleoedd amherffaith a naturiol yn yr awyr agored, rwy’n teimlo’n rhydd i feddwl ac i anadlu – i ysgrifennu ac i greu.

[rosesloveletters]

Hi dear! 💛 It's been ages since I've been in your askbox. I've been meaning to ask you this for ages: is your s/i the same with each f/o or are there certain things that differ i.e. a certain set of skills that's different with each f/o?

Hope this week's started well for you and that the rest of it will be kind on your soul <333 🤍☀️

All the boys are sending their kind regards to you <3 Jack's off to sea again, we had a great time together when he was here 🥺 Things with Cas and Cowboy are good, I've been busy with schoolwork so they've been taking the horses out for rides together, I love seeing them together and I'm so glad they have someting they can bond over like that <3 Things with B are still fresh but we've gotten a lot closer from when we first met <3

All my love, Mags 💌

Hi Magda! 💛

It has been ages since I last received an ask from you, hasn't it? I hope that life has been treating you well & that things are a bit brighter for you lately.

Ooh, this is a phenomenal question! I rarely get asked about my s/i & i would love to talk about her some more:

so, if you don't know, my s/i is named Audrey Benedict & she is essentially me, i.e. there are not really any differences personality-wise or anything like that (as a self-shipper, I want my s/i to resemble myself as closely as possible.) I use her across the board; whenever I write personal fics, if I don't want to use the first tense or 'I, me, my', I will use Audrey & write in third person, even though she is me.

That being said, she is different in each f/os canon because Audrey is essentially a manifestation of each vivid aspect of my personality.

I'll discuss in detail the three most developed f/o canon I've created for Audrey:

The Brothers Grimm: in the brothers grimm canon, she's the strictly creative side of my personality: a writer, poet, gardener, story-teller, adventurer, etc. she has a deep appreciation for music, she's introverted & shy (perhaps more than I am in my real life) and she is the sweeter, more pure & naive/innocent part of my personality who is all good things, sunshine & happiness. the brothers grimm takes place in the late 1700s to early 1800s, therefore Audrey is much different than she would be in canon that takes place in modern times. to fit the times, she wears dresses (think Belle's blue dress in the live action beauty and the beast.) overall, brothers grimm!Audrey represents the part of me that longs for a quiet place of isolation where I can focus solely on creating & living with my loves & all my emotions, where sadness melts away...

Ocean's Eleven: in the ocean's eleven canon, Audrey is the only daughter of billionaire Las Vegas hotel resort owner Terry Benedict, so her overall presence is much different: she wears expensive, glittery dresses, works alongside Terry and helps manage the resorts, curates the museum at the Bellagio & Terry's personal art collection that the two of them share. Her circle of trust is quite small, mainly Terry & a friend of his & her boyfriend Linus Caldwell, whom has begun to grow on Terry now that he's dating his daughter. In spite of growing up in the lap of luxury, Audrey is a very good person & has learned the value of hard work because she has never seen her father not working & handling things himself to the best of his abilities. He's a single father & that has never been an issue for him; that has only made their connection even stronger. Ocean's eleven!Audrey has two homes: The Las Vegas Strip (more often than not it's the Bellagio where she spends the majority of her time) & a villa on Lake Como, Italy (villa erba if you want to search for it), where Terry takes her quite often to visit his friend François Toulour (another f/o from the ocean's trilogy I don't talk about much.)

Scarface: (This one I'm still working on because Tony is still so new to me) Scarface!Audrey is tropical vibes, bright colors, spring/summer, beaches & sunshine. For these two, I love the trope of a morally grey/bad character who falls in love with a pure character who is too good to corrupt. I don't really want to discuss their fanon simply because it takes place after events in the movie that would be spoilers to anyone who hasn't seen it. I will say that I am working on connecting Ocean's Eleven & Scarface, which has been really fun & exciting for me because those two are the most similar f/o films & make for an interesting story when put together.

So, Audrey is essentially the same in each of my f/o's canon, but different aspects of my personality are highlighted in each canon because each movie has a different vibe or aura than each other, which lends itself to this in a way. Thank you so much for asking about Audrey!!

Thank you, dear💛💛 this week has been crazy. I started a workout routine: 1 hour of exercise per day & at least 10,000 steps a day & lemme tell ya, IT IS NOT EASY WHEN YOU'RE FIRST STARTING OUT. And I learned another thing about myself along the way: I AM WILDLY OUT OF SHAPE. so this week's been kind of a struggle with that & juggling work, cleaning, errands, etc. I'm so glad it's the weekend! I hope this week was good to you & that you were able to find some peace in between this crazy schedule we all seem to find ourselves stuck in.

I'm so glad to hear about your f/os!! I hope Jack is staying safe out there; he gets himself into trouble sometimes, but he knows the sea better than anyone, so I'm sure he's right at home (except I bet he feels even more at home when he's with you!) I hope your schoolwork is going well!! It's great to hear that Cas and Cowboy are getting along and going horse riding together; it's such a relief whenever f/os get along like that; they're developing such a special & sweet bond🥺That's fantastic that you and B are growing even closer now that you've known each other for a bit! I'm certain the bond will strengthen & deepen much more with time!

Take care of you, dear, & be kind to yourself. Sending you well wishes, the warmest regards & all my love💛

[sheepie-self-ships]

For the end of the year ask game, 1, 4, and 6? :)

♡ @eternally-smitten

Tysm for the ask 💛

1. have you gained any new F/Os this year?

Yep! A ton I think actually 🤔 let’s take a looksie at the list!

Eagle.bones is obviously new, but he’s from a show from my childhood, fun fact! Same with Butchy, I loved TBM as a kid :3

Lucas is also new, so is Bowser, Gladiolus, Kíli and Thranduil, Ken ofc, and Zoro! I started joining the selfshipping community in 2021 so I’m surprised how much my list has grown just from this year alone :3

4. who would you crown to be your "F/O of the year"? (the criteria for what makes them F/O of the year are entirely up to you!)

Oh gosh, that’s a really tough call. I was really into the hobbit around the beginning of the summer, so Kíli or Thranduil might be strong contenders, but also All Mi.ght is a constant, so he’s pretty up there too, though he might just have to settle for F/O of all time 💀… I’m really thinking it might be Eagle.bones, he came out of literally nowhere but he and the rest of the aqua.bats have been like. EVERYTHING for the past. Since late October. So him, like my Spotify wrapped, might be like. The underdog who came out of the blue for f/o of the year.

6. talk about any special/memorable moments you had with your F/O(s) this year! Which stood out to you the most?

I answered this question in the last ask too, but I just remembered also seeing FNAF with all my roomies :D I don’t f/o with the original animatronics really, as a kid I would’ve said I f/oed foxy but they’re more so platonic f/os if anything, but I did bring a fnaf sun shoulder rider plush guy and he jingled right off my shoulder because I was so excited for the movie! AND and when I was at my camp counselor job over the summer, I remember when the Mario movie came out and the kiddos saw me drawing my Mario s/i a few times, this wasn’t necessarily an f/o memory but the kids would sing peaches and just replace it with my s/i 💀 it was lowkey mortifying and also simultaneously cute, they were just like aw sweet a mario OC that’s fun :D they didn’t register them as a self insert so that’s good at least

Genre: softest haikyuu domestic fluff omg

Author’s Note: more dad tsuki 🤩

Dada’s Home | Kenma, Iwaizumi // Dada’s Home | Oikawa, Atsumu

Warnings! All post time skip! Spoilers to manga end for Iwa! and also they have kids

Ushijima: 

The sound of the security welcomed him home as he stepped through the garage door, slipping into his slippers as he shut the door firmly behind him, locking it for the night

It was the same routine every time he came home from the late games or practices but this time was different

The usual darkness or the dim light from a single hall light left on for him wasn’t here to greet him

Instead, all the lights were on and subtle sounds echoed down the hall from the living room

He set his bag snd belongings down, following the sounds as they grew clearer and clearer as he approached

Stepping into the wide room, small toys and stuffed animals were scattered everywhere from your guys’ daughter’s play chest

Bright colored plastic balls scattered all around the floor

“Aren’t you tired, baby?” your voice was just barely a whisper, your eyes heaviest they’ve ever been as you looked down to your one year old as she sat on the ground, roaming and crawling about on the ground 

she looked so adorable in her 

but now she was focused on you as her baby hands wrapped around your fingers as she pulled on them, bringing her face to them as if to nuzzle against you 

“I’m home,” Ushijima’s calm voice sounded throughout the living room, catching the attention of both of you 

especially your daughter as she turned her head to her fall father 

She babbled excitedly, smiling, filling the room with the pure sounds of a child’s laughter as she crawled toward him 

A smile spread on Ushijima’s lips as he watched his baby girl crawl toward him in her lavender onesie 

Kneeling down, he held his arms out to her, inviting her to him 

“Welcome home, Toshi,” you hummed as you sat yourself up. “She’s os excited to see you tonight,” you pushed out a yawn as you rest your chin on your forearm relaxed on the arm of the chair 

just as she was halfway to him, she paused as she pushed the palms of her hands to the floor, wobbly standing to her feet 

her entire body wobbled as she tried to balance, her legs unaccustomed to her weight as she hadn’t fully developed these muscles just yet 

“Oh my god, Wakatoshi, her first steps!” You excitedly reached for your phone, only for it to be dead 

“Toshi, I need you to record this!” you looked back as your words flew over his head as your daughter walked her first length to him, a smile never leaving her face until she leaned forward into his hands

he caught her, lifting her up to hold her in his arms, her small arms and body trying its best to wrap around Ushijima in as big of a hug she could make 

“We missed it,” you pouted a bit, internally cursing at yourself for not charging your phone when it had died earlier 

“It’s alright, Y/N. As long as the memory is significant enough to us, we shall never forget these precious memories,” he smiled as he bounced his little girl in his arm, making his way to you 

“lets get some sleep,” he leaned close, pressing a kiss to your forehead, mumbling these words after as you held him close, resting your hands on his waist 

“Yes please,” you smiled relieved to finally catch up on sleep as your daughter was latched to your husband’s collar 

Tsukishima: 

The nth yawn fell from Tsukishima as hot tears watered his dry eyes, the sound of cicadas echoing all around the neighborhood beneath the clear summer sky

Thousands upon thousands of stars twinkled millions of miles away

After a brief moment of his keys jingling in his hands, the door unlocked, a dim, warm light welcoming him in as he entered, settling his bag down to the side, slipping out of his shoes, raising his arms above his head, stretching his arms and legs and back

After missing the last metro, he now knew the vivid boredom and trouble of having to ride numerous buses until he was home

The house was silent, only the sound of the air conditioning and the cicadas outside breaking through

He could see you declined back against a pile of pillows as he approached, his slippers sliding with every step he took over the wooden floors, one leg propped up as you laid with your hair spread all over the cushions

But the most eye-catching thing aside from his life partner was his little boy

Specifically, his little dinosaur

Resting over your belly, curled up in almost the shape of a ball, the tail of the onesie in between the arms and legs of his son, fast asleep on you

Before he woke you, he slipped his hand into his pocket, pulling out his phone

He snapped pictures of his little boy in the green dinosaur onesie

His heart beat fast, a warmness swelling up inside of him as he captures this precious moment

“S/N, Y/N,” he called the to two of you, gently shaking your shoulder as he sat down on the edge of the coffee table beside the couch you laid on

You were the first to wake, pulled out of your sleep, finding him home

His rectangular black spectacles on him, his wavy golden locks as he donned a white dress shirt and black dress pants for work, his sleeves neatly folded and rolled up his forearms

“You’re back,” you smiled, stretching your legs and arms as your son still slept soundly on you

“S/N,” you called out to your son, his cheek squished, mouth agape, eyebrows slightly raised and raising higher and higher, bit by bit as you called out to him

“Dada’s home,” you carefully nudged the little boy awake until his eyes peeked open, clearly still half asleep

“Hey, buddy,” Tsukishima smiled as he leaned his hand close, brushing his hand over his son’s head beneath the hood, the soft, light colored hair that matched his own

“He practically begged me to let him wear this pajama tonight, wanting to tell you something special,” you leaned your head back against the plush pillows, feeling the bags begin to form beneath your eyes

“What’d he wanna say?” He glanced to you, before returning his attention to his son, caressing his fingers down his face, giving his little nose a boop

“S/N, wasn’t there something you wanted to tell dada?” You sat up as Tsukishima took his son into his arms

“What’d you want to say, bud?”

The little boy let a little yawn escape from him as he did his best to open his eyes, looking up to his tall father, meeting his hazel-gold eyes

“wawr,” the little boy, basically asleep at this point, let out

“Wawr?”

“He means to rawr cause he said that’s how dinosaurs say ‘I love you,’” you hummed as you brushed your hand down the back of your son’s head, leaning close to press a kiss into his hair

S/N leaned onto Tsukishima, fast asleep, his little thumb already stuck in his mouth as the two of you decided to head up

“I love you too, buddy,” he smiled as he carefully rest his head on his son’s as he carried him upstairs with you closely following behind him

Broken

Request: Can you do purebood (and disowned) reader x still with big issues Sev? make it fluffy at the beggining, but then put the darkest angst you can think of on it. Have a good day.

Requested by: Anon

Genre: Fluff to ANGST

Synopsis: (Y/n) is bullied, Severus does nothing.

Pairings: Severus x Fem Reader, Sirus Black x Fem Reader, Lily x James

Warnings: Bullying!!!!

“Severus!!!” (Y/n) shouted as she sprinted down the hall toward the Slytherin common room, “I got all Os on my OWLS!”

Severus looked at (Y/n) as she bounced toward him a huge smile plastered on her face. They both were starting sixth year and (Y/n) had recently been disowned by her family, not for any real reason, but apparently thinking muggles deserve basic human rights was a big no no. He looked at her and she beamed at him. 

He huffed and stalked back toward the door, gesturing for her to follow him. Giving a yelp of excitement, (Y/n) followed her best friend into the Slytherin dorms. He sat down on one of the couches and she was quick to follow, dropping the bag that she carried on her shoulder onto the couch opposite him. 

He pulled out a copy of his OWL results, As in Transfiguration, Ancient Ruins and Charms. Two Os, one in Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions, and Es in everything else. 

Squealing, (Y/n) snatched his results out of his hand, reading over the comments and grades, “Great job Severus!” she said, handing him back his results. 

The two sixteen year olds sat in comfortable silence as (Y/n) once again opened her bag, placing her results inside. While she did so, he saw a couple copies of muggle magazines and her NEWT textbooks. 

Realizing that she must have gotten the magazines from somewhere, he shifted uncomfortably. “Where did you…”

However he was cut off by a huff from some students who had just made their way into the common room. 

“Oh lookie here, some blood traitor trash.” A harsh voice said, making (Y/n) freeze. 

“Go away Avery.” (Y/n) said, pulling her bag closer to her as the other Slytherin boys came closer to where she was sitting. 

“Me, go away? No little blood traitor, you go away. You don’t belong here, you belong elsewhere, with the rest of the trash.” Avery laughed.

“Severus why do you even hang out with this pile of dragon dung anyway?” Mulciber asked, gesturing at (Y/n) as she rose from her chair and looked at Severus.

“Severus.” She said, tilting her head. Tears brimming in her eyes as the two dark magic supporters continued to hurl insults at her. 

Severus said nothing. Picking up his own results and leaving the room, heading toward his dorm.

“See that blood traitor,” Mulciber hissed at (Y/n), “even your little mixed breed friend doesn’t want you.”

Severus felt his heart clench at the insult, then it fell to the pit of the floor when he saw bright tears begin to fall down her cheeks. Sucking in a breath of air, he made his way to his room and slammed the door shut.

(Y/n) sniffled as she watched her friend abandon her, to leave her to face those no better than the group of Gryffindors that tormented him. Fleeing from the bullies she made her way to the Fat Lady and knocked a couple times. 

Lily opened the door to find (Y/n) crying and, grabbing her hand, hauled her into the common room.

Lily held (Y/n) as she cried, cooing quiet words of affirmation to her friend, as the Marauders made their noisy way down the stairs. Catching Lily’s eye, all of them stopped talking as they approached the huddle of sixteen year old girl on the floor. 

“Hey, (Y/l/n).” Remus asked, lowering himself onto the floor to get down to her level. “What happened?”

“It was Mulciber and Avery.” Lily answered for her, gripping her friend tighter. “They were picking on her.”

“Why?” Sirius laughed. “It’s not like she could have done anything to warrant that except for being a huge nerd.”

Through her tears (Y/n) choked out, “I was disowned by my parents last summer.”

Sirius’ eyes widened. “Me too, to be honest.”

“It was because they found my letters to and from Lily.” (Y/n) explained forcing her head deeper into Lily’s shoulder and letting out another sob.

The group froze, knowing that her tears were warranted. The Marauders sat in a circle around Lily and her friend, Remus rubbing her back and smiling slightly as she cried, “It’s going to be alright.” He sighed as her body shook from the violence of her agony.

“That isn’t even the worst of it.” (Y/n) sobbed. “Severus could have stopped them. He could have said something, but he didn’t and now I hate him for it.”

Anger grew in Lily’s face, flushing so red her freckles were invisible. “How dare he.” she commented, stroking (Y/n)’s hair, planning to report those bums to a teacher as soon as possible. 

“Don’t listen to them.” Peter chidded, patting (Y/n) on the shoulder. He was trying his best, but that wasn’t what (Y/n) needed.

However, as Lily rocked her gently, she made up her mind to leave her bigoted family behind, come what may, she would be ready to face the future.

Times would come where she would feel alright. Making friends with the Marauders and growing closer with Lily.

She was adorned in light blue, as the maid of honor at Lily and James’ wedding, letting a few tears slip as the bond was sealed between them.

A few months later, it was Lily who held a bouquet of daisies, adorned in crimson, as (Y/n) said her vows with Sirius. Both couples were excited to spend their lives together, fighting the dark arts together.

If only it were that simple.

Years later, after Lily and James had both passed away, (Y/n) showed up for a meeting at the Order. Sirius being sent to Askaban had hit her hard and Peter’s death along with the others’ rocked her to the core, she didn’t believe her husband to be a murderer, there was barely any evidence and it wasn’t in his character.

It wasn’t until she saw the man whom she loathed more than He Who Must Not Be Named himself, did she dare to show an ounce of emotion.

Severus Snape had walked into an Order Meeting, like he wasn’t an ex-death eater who had murdered countless people. 

As soon as they were left alone, Severus attempted to speak with (Y/n). She glared at him instead.

“Why do you think I want to talk with you, of all people.” She asked, wrapping her arms around herself, the sapphire Sirius had given her glittered in the candlelight.

“(Y/n), I’m so sorry.” Severus said through gritted teeth. “I never meant for you to be hurt, I never meant for Lily…” He trailed off leaving (Y/n) speechless.

“Wow, Severus, I am surprised at you.” She snapped. Causing the man in question to look up at her.

“(Y/n).” He said looking at her in the face.

“I loved you Severus. I really did. And you couldn’t see it.” She snarled. “So I found someone who did and I married him.”

“(Y/n) please give me a chance!” He begged a single tear spilling from his face.

“I gave you a chance.” She shouted. “I gave you chance after chance. What did you do?”

Severus stayed silent looking at (Y/n). She turned her back on him and slammed the door. Severus, who had chased after her, placed his hands on the door before sinking to the floor. Unaware of the grieving young woman doing the same on the opposite side.

the amusement park: chapter one

A/N: Hi all! This is my first fic posted here on my self ship blog! I’m really proud of this story, it’s gonna be a two-parter.

Ship: davey jacobs x pepper simmons (s/i), featuring my best friend V and my gf Khourey and their respective f/os, race higgins and jack kelly!

Summary: Some of the newsies head to Canobie lake's haunted house/amusement park. Pepper and Davey are the only non-couple.

The backseat of Race’s mom’s minivan was one of the last places Pepper wanted to be at 7 o’clock on a Friday morning. Yet here she was, awaiting their arrival to Canobie Lake Park’s annual Screemfest as she got crammed in next to Davey Jacobs.

Not that she disliked Davey. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Pepper liked Davey a whole lot. And that was exactly the problem. Here she was, in such close proximity to him that their knees knocked together every time Violet hit a pothole, harbouring a gigantic crush on her best friend. And everyone in the car knew beside him. And they were totally fifth- and sixth-wheeling on this trip.

It was fine.

Besides, Pepper was willing to endure a few hours pining quietly if it meant she could go on some sick roller coasters. So she sucked it up and tucked quietly into her seat.

Mickey turned around from the middle row and handed Pepper a piece of her chocolate croissant. “You cold back there?” She asked, wild red curls framing her face as she spoke.

After popping the pastry into her mouth, Pepper shrugged. “I’m fucking always cold.”

Jack tugged his hat up from where it rested over his eyes. “That is a fair point, she is always cold.” He said pointedly, and yelped when Pepper flicked the back of his head.

“I have poor circulation, dickhead.” She whined.

Race snickered from the passenger seat. “Good thing my dickhead doesn’t have poor circulation.” He quipped.

Though Pepper couldn’t see it, she could feel Violet rolling their eyes at their boyfriend. “I’m gonna file for divorce, Race.” They picked up their coffee and took a brief sip. “And I’m taking the kids.”

Beside her, Davey was digging around in the duffel bag he’d brought for the ride. He’d described it to Pepper as a ‘Minor Catastrophe Bag’, with a tiny first aid kit, nail clippers, some snacks, ibuprofen, pads, and a pair of tweezers. As much as she would have loved to gently bully him for being such a mother hen, she knew she’d be thanking him later through an inevitable headache. He straightened, finally, and emerged with a sweater. “Um, if you’re really cold,” He held it out to her. “You can wear this. It’s my backup but I’m pretty warm.” He said.

Pepper took the sweater in both hands with a gentle smile, trying to ignore the soft brush of his fingertips against hers. “You sure?” As much as she would love to immediately engulf herself in his clothes, it was Mid-October and she didn’t want to steal Davey’s source of warmth from him.

Like usual, he waved off her gentle concern. “I have my jacket and I’m wearing layers.” He explained, pushing the sweater towards her.

She took it in her hands, hoping and praying that the heat in her face wasn’t visible. “If you insist.” The teasing was playful, as it always had been. Their friendship had existed for years, the product of a few friend groups merging and discovering that they fit like puzzle pieces. Davey always gave up his cherry Starbursts to Pepper because they were her favorite. Pepper let Davey borrow her favorite poetry books. They spent summers at the pool together. Had napped, cried, laughed, celebrated together for what seemed like forever.

So why did wearing his clothes make her so much more flustered than anything before?

She slid the sweater on, enveloping herself in his scent- oh Christ she was dying- and did actually feel much better. Even though the dark blue didn’t exactly match her outfit.

Davey smiled at her. “When will you learn to dress for the weather?” He admonished gently.

“That’s why I keep you around.” Pepper said, rather than admitting that she was just forgetful and liked her outfit too much.

“Davey’s new occupation: Pepper’s coat rack.” Violet chimed in, handing their phone to Race to switch the song that was playing.

Davey sighed. “I’m really putting that college education to good use.”

The rest of the car ride went by relatively quickly, much to Pepper’s delight. They hopped out into the cool autumn air, cracked their cramped joints, and headed into the park. Davey thankfully left most of his supplies in the trunk of the minivan (save for the ibuprofen he’d managed to sneak into Pepper’s purse just in case), so they’d made it through security and into the place without much fuss as well.

Jack, ever the natural born leader of the bunch, snagged a map and immediately started planning their route for the day. He unfurled it in front of the group and, as Mickey curled into his side, eyed the pathways and rollercoasters thoughtfully. “So do you guys wanna start at the front and work our way back? Or the other way around?”

There was a beat of silence as everyone worked the thought over. “We should just head towards the back, I think everyone’s gotta start testing the rides first anyway.” Mickey piped up first.

Davey nodded. “Gives us more time.” He added.

They made the trek towards the back of the park, Mickey and Jack leading with the map.

Race sidled up beside Pepper and hip-checked her. “You been to these haunted houses before?” He asked, making reference to the night-time festivities. Once the sun set, the park released creepily-costumed actors to scare those who stayed, and previously blocked-off areas were transformed into small haunted houses. Truthfully, Pepper had never been to any haunted house, let alone ones set up at an amusement park.

So, she shook her head. “It’s my first haunted house, actually.” Something she’d confided in Mickey and Vi about.

Race feigned a gasp. “Well ain’t this a hell of a place to start!” He elbowed her, and she returned the gesture, their own weird little handshake.

“Are you serious?” Davey asked, his own elbow catching her shoulder, fucking ow, he’s bony.

Pepper nodded. “I was too scared when I was a kid, and then when I stopped being a baby, all that stuff with my mom happened, so I just never went.”

Davey hummed in acknowledgement, evidently eager to skip past the whole ‘my-mom-is-ill’ conversation. “Ah, well. If you need a buddy, I’m sure we’ll be left alone. Together.” He said, his head tilting to their friends, who had once again broken off into couples, leaving them to their own devices.

Shoving the impending smile down, she nodded. “I’m sure we will.”

“Well, we have a good, um,” He checked the watch on his wrist (the one with the brown leather strap that he wore with every outfit, even if Pepper told him it didn’t match, or that it was too clunky.) “Like, ten hours before we need to even think about that.”

She crumpled into a fit of giggles. “Perfect. I’m sure we’ll spend that time wisely.” She swatted his arm as he shoved his watch in front of her face.

---

They did not.

Six and a half hours later, the group stood in line at one of the concession stands, staring at the menu and nodding to the song playing in the background; some mid-2010s Kesha track that was making Vi go absolutely crazy.

Jack squinted at the chalkboard. “They don’t even have chicken tenders here?” He nudged Race. “They don’t even have chicken tenders here.”

Race nodded slowly, also squinting. Pepper wondered, briefly, if the pair needed glasses or if they were just trying to look contemplative. “Mickey’s gonna call it homophobic, you know.” He said.

“It is!” Mickey called dutifully from the table they had snagged for the gang to inevitably sit at. “I’ll take some cheese fries though!” To which Jack nodded and stepped up to the worker behind the plexiglass, beginning to list off the group’s orders.

Vi’s voice floated through Pepper’s ears. “Oh what a shame that you came here with someone,” they approached her, eyes closed and hands up by their shoulders as they got all the way into their performance. “My god, if they have candy apples at a stall somewhere, I’m gonna go buckwild.” They said suddenly, snapping out of their trance to stare at Pepper expectantly.

Before she could say anything, though, Davey stole the words from her mouth. “You are allergic to apples, V.” He chided, maybe more kindly than Pepper would have put it, but she was willing to overlook it for the sake of the way a small smile pulled at his mouth.

Violet dropped their hands. “Only a little bit.” They argued.

“A little bit allergic.” Davey repeated, and Pepper pressed her lips together firmly to fight off the grin at the exasperation in his voice.

“To apples, yes.” They nodded, and, evidently done with arguing, turned to keep Mickey company at the table.

Davey turned to Pepper, disbelief crossing his features. “Can you believe-”

“Yes.” She cut him off. “Yes I absolutely can believe it.” Pepper said, digging through her memory of the times V had pulled some similar shit; eating eleven mozzarella sticks despite their lactose intolerance, buying a Panic! At The Disco vinyl despite wanting Brendon Urie dead, and spending $40 on a Funko Pop figure of Spiderman Noir for no real reason other than some guy at a convention told them to.

Jack turned to his friends. “Okay I did the ordering, someone else has to do the collecting.” He announced, shoving the receipt with the order number on it towards Davey, who had inadvertently become Second In Command. Then, with a signature Jack Kelly Smug Smile, he stalked off to where V and Mickey were seated, Race following behind.

Great, Pepper thought, another conveniently timed moment alone with Davey. Briefly, she wondered if her friends had planned this ahead of time, and then she came to her senses and realized that yes, of course they had. Those conniving little weasels had been conspiring to get Davey to like her since senior prom.

She still remembered the way Mickey had shoved Davey at her when a slow song came on that night. Work Song by Hozier had drifted over the speakers, and V’s elbow caught her in the ribs as they growled a furious “Dance with him or I’ll fucking kill you.” and skipped off to sway with Racer. Pepper had stood on the dance floor, gaping as she watched Jack wink at Vi. Those two never got along about anything.

Davey’s hand had entered her field of vision, skin almost glowing under the light of the mirrorball. He’d smiled sheepishly, admitted that this was one of his favorite songs, and asked if she’d like to share a dance.

The strange thing was, she didn’t actually like Davey before that. At least she thought she didn’t. It wasn’t until she was cradled close to his chest, breathing in the smell of his soap and some soft, powdery cologne he frequented, that she found her heart pounding and her palms going clammy. And when he’d started humming against her hair, one hand in hers and the other around her waist, she knew she was absolutely fucked.

She’d started thinking about it and, yeah, it made sense to want to be with Davey. Handsome Davey, who sometimes made her laugh until soda came out her nose, and whose affinity for children’s cartoons made him the ideal conversation partner. Three years later, she was still in love with him.

And it was all her stupid, evil friends’ faults.

Back in the present, Davey tucked his hands in his pockets, his lips twisting as he lost himself in thought. “We’re gonna have so much shit to carry.” He murmured, exasperated at being the ones left behind.

“We sure are. At least you and Jack ordered drinks, so that’s more stuff to spill.” She twisted a long strand of hair around her finger.

Davey scoffed good-naturedly. “Yeah well you made me leave my water bottle in the car so I needed to be hydrated somehow.”

Pepper kicked at his shin with the toe of her sneaker. “And a caramel hot chocolate is the best way to stay hydrated?” She grinned up at him, watching him tuck the receipt into his back pocket and start moving for the pick-up window as the drink in question was called out.

He hummed in assent. “You bet it is.” He picked up the paper cup, taking a short sip and licking at his bottom lip. Pepper ignored the urge to run her thumb across it.

She must have been staring, because after a second, Davey held the cup out towards her. He didn’t say anything, didn’t need to. She loved chocolate and caramel, and always ran cold. He knew there was no way she’d have turned down a sip if he’d offered, so he must have decided to save his breath. She took the cup in her hands, the warmth emanating from it seeping pleasingly into her palms, and took a sip as well, subconsciously hoping to taste more than the drink. She licked her lips.

Davey watched her intently. He opened his mouth, ready to say something to her, when the order bell rang out. “Order sixty-nine!” The college girl behind the counter announced.

“Oh, fuck yes.” Race cackled from the table. V leaned into him, trying to hide their own laughter as Mickey gave him a high-five.

Pepper sighed, she should’ve known that would be their luck. The pair of them moved forward, Davey pushing in front of her to grab the tray before she could even reach for it. “I got it.” He mumbled, holding onto the plastic tray like a nervous Disney-Channel-Original-Movie teenager. “Grab the drinks, don’t worry about it.” And then he smiled up at her, a closed-lipped little smile that made her heart race as she picked up Jack’s orange soda.

Behind her, someone clicked their tongue. Pepper turned, making immediate eye contact with an older lady with greying black hair and soft folds in her skin, who gave her a knowing smile. “And they say chivalry is dead. You got yourself a sweet one, honey.” She said, then winked.

Pepper’s jaw went slack trying to think of a response. She turned back to Davey, whose eyebrows were so far up his face that they were basically in his hairline. “Oh God,” he said simply, “Um, thank you, ma’am.”

The woman laughed softly, leaned over and patted Pepper’s shoulder as if she knew something Pepper didn’t, and then disappeared into the line to order food.

There was a long, silent moment, where Pepper was racking her brain, searching every corner for something to say that would shift the air, move the mood from awkward to playful with a joke of some sort. She looked at him again, and he was staring at her, unblinking. There was a funny look on his face- regret maybe- his eyebrows low and his eyes a little soft. She wondered, distantly, if he was realizing that she was in love with him; if it was a look of pity-

“Hurry up with my goddamn cheese fries!” Mickey yelled, their hunger obviously taking control over their inhibition.

Without a second thought, Pepper turned on her heel and walked to where their friends were, leaving Davey and the unnerving encounter behind.
