hey there! you kinda have seen me already by freaking out about Floyd he’s actually is what I wanted to request!
if it’s possible, could you write a little fic on how reader could be when they (pronouns are your opinion) found out about floyd being captured? OR HEAR ME OUT PLS—
reader is Floyd‘s partner (girlfriend/boyfriend, again your opinion) BUT was captured WITH him, bc all the time I was watching the movie I imagined them being with Floyd since young and bc of cliché drama I love *cries*
again it’s your option on doing it or not !!
I LOVE THIS IDEA! Okokokokok
Tumblr media
You were childhood best friends- and when he joined the band? You became their manager!
You wanted to support him and you didn’t want to interrupt the whole boys only band so you went with next best thing!
After the failed show you try to keep everyone from leaving
JD tells you to move, and shoves you out the way when you try to block the door
Clay just shakes his head and leaves
Spruce lays a hand on your shoulder and whispers “look after them for me”
At first Floyd tries to leave without you- after giving Branch his vest, he asks you to look after him
You nodded- but the minute he was out of sight you started crying
“What are you waiting for girl? Go get him!”
Grandma tells you she’ll be fine looking after branch on her own so you run off after Floyd
“FLOYD! FLOYD WAIT!” You shouted, seeing his figure turn around, his eyes widening when he saw you running towards him.
“Y/n? What are you doing? I thought you were gonna look after Branch”- he started to say before he saw your tears
“Im not gonna watch the boy I have loves since who knows when walk out the door without him knowing how I feel” you panted taking his hand in yours and meeting his eyes shyly “we could be so good together, we can make this last forever!”
Floyd blinked a few times before laughing slightly “wow! I never thought that you’d like me- I mean I’m not the heart throb or the fun one”
You interrupted “I don’t like them! I like you! A lot”
“I like you a lot too-you sure you wanna come with me?”
You nodded and he grinned, intertwining your fingers and starting to walk away from the pod together, hand in hand as you talked about the future
Tumblr media
Ok now- I’m gonna mix ideas here
Let’s say when he got captured you were still with him but not present at the time
So when you got back to the pod you and your long term boyfriend had made to see it wrecked with big foot prints leading away from it
You immediately assumed he’d been eaten by a Burgan
Absolutely heartbroken you fixed the pod back up on your own and fell into a grieving depression
Everywhere you looked you saw memories of him
And then far into the future one day- you get a letter
Supposedly from your dead boyfriend!
You- despite thinking that he was dead- were desperate to see him again, and if that lead to your death then so be it!
You got in your catterbug van called Chloe and head straight for the ‘mount rageous’ that the letter had specified
Once you got to the place this “Velvet and Veneer” we’re singing at you snuck in and noticed the dressing room door open a smidge
You peaked in slightly and felt your eyes water
There he was- Floyd was alive! You couldn’t believe it- you took a few steps back to grasp what you were seeing before a bumping into something.
You looked up and Veneer looked down at you before snatching you up and laughing slightly
“Wow! Another troll? I wonder which one you are? Either way- more talent for us I suppose!” Veneer muttered before entering the dressing room
Floyd looked up from his crossed legs as one of his captors Veneer walked into the room with something in his hand
He had been thinking of you- he always thought about you- between the torture of having his talent drained he dreamed of being back in your shared pod- in your arms
He startled from his thoughts as another diamond perfume bottle was slammed down onto the counter next to him, and felt his heart drop and eyes water when he noticed who was in it
Floyd waited for veneer to leave the room- probably to go get velvet to tell her the good news of having another troll to drain before standing up and pressing his hands to the wall of his prison
“Y-Y/n? Is- is that you?”
You nodded, already crying your eyes out just from looking at him
“What are you doing here? You shouldn’t have come- they’re gonna drain you-“
He stopped when he noticed your tears streaming down your face and had a déjà-vu moment of when you first told him you liked him
“I thought you were dead”
You whispered, dropping to your knees-
“There’s no way I would pass up a way to see you- I love you!” You pressed your hands against the diamond as well and he felt his eyes well with tears
“I love you too-“
Velvet came storming into the room and cackled when she saw your face fill with fear
“Oh- you are gonna be mine!” She said grasping the bottle and starting to walk back out
“NO!” Floyd shouted “not her, drain me first-“
Velvet sneered slightly
“Seeing as you’ve said that- no, I’m gonna drain her, veneer can have you. I want a newer talent”
She left the dressing room and the door slammed shut on Floyd- his tears finally falling

Hello! It’s me again (the one who requested the You Are In Love fic). I absolutely loved it!
I’ve been wondering if you could do a reader x Rafe Cameron where they attend The Eras Tour because reader is a swiftie! (they ofc are in front row because Rafe spoils her)
You Are My Lover
Pairing: Rafe Cameron x Reader
Warnings: N/A
Pronouns: She/Her
Word Count: 0.7K
A/N: I'm glad you liked the first request! Hopefully, I got all the tour stuff right.
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Rafe spoils his princess like there is no tomorrow, so when Taylor Swift announced her Eras Tour, he knew the next thing he had to spend his money on for her. Of course, it is no problem getting her the tickets. He has connections and he isn’t above bribing people to get it for her. Y/N doesn’t have to worry about anything except what she wants to wear and buy. She is a little nervous about leaving it all to Rafe, but he assures her that he is going to get it no matter what it takes. And he did exactly that while looking at his favourite picture of Y/N on the desk. The one taken at the Christmas village. He refrains from texting her the good news, wanting to tell her in person. 
When she gets to his office that day, she has a worried look on her face. Rafe hasn’t texted her anything, so she assumes he has bad news for her. However, as she walks through the door, she can see the massive grin on Rafe’s face. “You got them?” she squeals with a smile. He can only get nod before she runs toward him to tackle him in a hug. Her lips find his as he laughs and she pulls back from him. “Where are we sitting? If it’s nosebleed tickets, that’s okay. I’m just happy that we can go,” she asks. Rafe scoffs, “Princess, I’m Rafe Cameron. I got us floor tickets.”
——
They stand at the front of the crowd. Rafe behind her to protect her from the pushing fans, who are trying to get closer. His light blue shirt matches her pink and yellow dress to form the colours of Taylor’s Lover album. The tiny red heart earrings made out of polymer clay dangle from her ears as she sings with everyone around her. When they get to “Delicate”, Rafe remembers to scream the chant with Y/N because of her constant schooling about the tour. He takes every opportunity he gets to photograph the happy look on Y/N’s face. During “All Too Well”, she feels a little tired and leans against Rafe’s chest. “Are you okay?” he whispers with his mouth pressed against her ear. She looks up at him with a smile and wraps his arms around her waist, “Yeah, I just can’t believe I’m actually here. Thank you, Rafe.” “No problem, Princess. Anything for you,” he kisses her cheek. 
When Taylor passes by their section and Y/N is able to touch the singer’s hand, she feels like she is about to pass out and is very glad that Rafe is filming the moment. He can’t help but chuckle at the way his girlfriend is freaking out. The couple continues to watch the concert, participating in the tour’s traditions and singing the songs. 
——
They are walking to his car when a girl about ten years old comes running up to Rafe. “Can we trade bracelets?” she asks, holding her arms out to him. He smiles down at her and displays her arms for him to pick, “Of course, which one do you want?” Y/N and Rafe had spent the afternoon yesterday making bracelets while listening to Taylor’s songs. The girl analyzes her options and picks a purple bracelet with Speak Now written on it. He hands it over to her, looking over his options on her arms. He spots the perfect one and she gives it to him. He walks over to Y/N, who is waiting for him by her car. He holds out his hand and she places hers in his. He slides the bracelet over her wrist, opening the passenger door for her. He shuts the door once she is in and makes his way to his side of the car.
As he drives out of the parking lot, Y/N looks down at the bracelet he gave her from the little girl. Her heart warms at the sight. Most of the bracelet has light pink beads, but the ones at the top of her wrists are white with black letters. On each side of the sentence, there are pink heart beads. She reads over the words, leaning over to kiss him on the cheek. You are my lover.

Curious Gazes: The 79th Venice International Film Festival featuring Dad!Harry
venice looks!
Tumblr media
harry_lambert wants to message you!
A gasp left Chiara’s mouth as she stared down at her phone. The notification must have been a glitch, apps glitch all the time…right? Why would one of the most important stylists message her? All her worrying had her nibbling on her lip nervously.
She had to find out what he wanted. Swiftly her thumb swiped to accept the DM to reveal Harry Lambert’s message to her. Her heart leaped out of her chest once she saw three long paragraphs on her screen.
Dropping out of college to become a freelance makeup artist wasn’t something she planned on doing. Being in debt over school had her worrying about every little thing so she ended up quitting her third year at NYU.
Her parents did not take it well at first but over the years they’ve learned to support her makeup artist job, thankfully.
“Holy…sh—“
The blonde slaps her hand over her mouth as she continues to read the messages over and over to check if her eyes are deceiving her. Why would someone this important want to work with her? Even his client wanted to work with her…wait who was his client anyway?
In a hurry she taps to get onto Harry Lambert's Instagram page but her shitty Wi-Fi stops her.
With a groan Chiara stands up frustratedly and starts to walk in circles. Before giving up on her Wi-Fi she stubs her toe, stuffs her face with marshmallows and even makes crappy popcorn on her stove.
When her internet goes out she either falls asleep and prays it will be back on when she wakes up or she uses her neighbor's Wi-Fi. She would’ve used her neighbors connection but they’ve already yelled at her countless times for slowing down their internet.
So the most sane thing to do was go to a cafe and use up all their free Wi-Fi.
Harry Styles, Florence Pugh, Emma Louise Corrin, Alexander Skarsgård and even Y/N L/N. She almost let out screams at each picture of the celebrities and had to remember she was in a cafe full of people. Swiping back to her direct messages she clicks on the most recent one that had her in shambles.
Hii Chiara I’m Harry Lambert and I was wondering if you are free the first week of September? Me and my client would love to work with you…
Too jittery to read everything the hundredth time, her shaky hands type out a response. It took her about 20 tries to type a decent message without making it seem like she’s freaking out—which she still was doing.
Once she hit send, she shoved her phone in her back pocket apprehensively and rushed out of the cafe nervously. It felt like she was in highschool and just sent a risky text.
Instead on waiting on a message, Chiara does a bunch of things to distract her but nothing could take her mind off of Harry fucking Lambert messaging her.
While her hands were covered in clay and thinking about the business opportunity she may have, she felt a buzz in her back pocket. Almost instantly she shoots up from her seat and turns off the pottery machine. Everyone else in the room was too busy to notice a blonde rushing out of the building with a towel wrapped around her hands.
“Yes!”
She couldn’t believe this was actually happening. Harry Lambert just gave her his and Alessandro Michele’s phone numbers for confirmation. The amount of excitement she felt was insane, never in her 22 years of life has she felt this giddy. Everything was finally turning good for her.
-
If you would’ve told her she would be getting on a private jet with Harry Styles and Y/N L/N, Chiara would’ve laughed in your face. But watching Y/N L/N and Harry Styles help their children out of their Range Rover through the jet window had her mouth hanging open in shock.
First of all she would’ve been fine with a regular plane ticket, yet Harry Lambert told her Y/N and Harry insisted on having her join their plane ride to Venice.
Oh yeah…she was going to Venice precisely to do Y/N’s makeup for The Venice Film Festival. She absolutely lost her shit of course. She never imagined doing someone’s makeup for one of the most prominent film festival’s yet here she was sitting on a jet seat.
While people were still boarding—none of them being the acclaimed couple—Chiara recognized some as the people that were on Y/N’s social media feed, she knew one of the guys sporting a backpack was Harry’s manager and the other being his photographer, Anthony.
She didn’t know how she was going to handle this for two whole days, hopefully she wouldn’t weird anyone out with her talkative persona.
“Excuse me Ms?”
The makeup artist looks up to find a flight attendant beaming down at her. As the blonde was going to give the air hostess a smile, she stopped herself.
Her eyes widened recognizing the person standing in front of her. Out of all people, why did her high school tormenter have to be Harry Styles’ stewardess. The girl that tortured her every single day when she was a teenager was stood right in front of her face.
The only thing she wished to do at this moment was disappear but she couldn’t, her body stayed put in the jet seat.
“Julie?” Chiara furrows her brows trying to sport the nicest smile ever. She didn’t know why her mind was telling her to play nice, she just hoped that ‘Julie’ or ‘Julia Calloway’ changed for the better. Yet she knew that wasn’t true once she saw a sour look crawl onto Julie’s face, the same sour look she saw everyday in school.
As the stewardess was about to respond to the makeup artist a bunch of people started to talk. Both of their attention swiftly diverted to the couple making their way inside the jet with their children.
It was like their prayers had been answered.
“Uh I got to go!” Julie says rushing away, not waiting for the blonde's response.
Chiara lets out a sigh of relief as she watches the air hostess greet Harry’s manager Jeffrey and Harry Lambert. The amount of industry people getting on the jet made her palms sweat. She had to hold her breath at Alessandro Michele revealing himself behind Tommy. The creative director of Gucci was here—she was in the presence of the creative director of Gucci.
But the next individuals made her freeze in her chair.
One Direction was big in her childhood. She always regretted not going to their concerts before they broke up and went solo. Though she knew going to their shows didn’t compare to being in the same vicinity as Harry Styles. This felt very unreal to her.
Harry had his arm wrapped around Y/N’s waist while his other arm held up a carrier—who Chiara assumed held their daughter Inez. A little boy stood in front of the couple and quickly darted to one of the jet seats followed by his backpack dragging behind him.
He must’ve been Beau since he looked exactly like Harry, he truly was his twin like everyone said. It felt illegal looking at his son without a strawberry emoji covering his face.
The makeup artist didn’t expect to get greeted by the mother but she did and it made her shoot up from her chair. She didn’t want to be rude to the person that offered to take her on their private jet with them.
“Chiara right?” Y/N smiles as she glances at Harry placing down the carrier on a seat next to Beau.
“U-uh yes! That is me.” Chaira says enthusiastically and quickly regrets her peppy tone but the woman standing in front of her just smiled brightly. “Sorry for being this excited at six thirty in the morning—“
“Hey, no it’s fine!” Y/N reassures the blonde which makes her grin. “Harry is a morning person so I’m used to it.”
Just as Chiara was going to speak, a loud cry came from the carrier. Harry, who looked stressed out—and definitely not like a morning person—swiftly picked up his daughter. Looking at Chiara, Y/N nods politely and excuses herself to the row across from her. Almost instantly she swoops up Inez in her arms which quiets her cries. Just the way her daughter stopped crying when she picked her up showed how she was such a good mother.
If Chiara even held a baby or got near one they would cry. Y/N had amazing mother abilities.
With people still getting situated on the jet, the blonde tries not to stare at the couple keeping their children entertained with a few stuffed animals and coloring books. She knew both Inez and Beau were going to grow up beautifully, they had great parents that would do anything for them.
Even though she hasn't greeted Harry yet, she was aware of him being one of the nicest celebrities ever.
Watching Harry and Y/N’s team get everything into place before takeoff was interesting. Jeff looked excited as he kept talking to Lambert about the couples outfits, Tommy was typing away on his phone most likely making sure everything was together when they arrived to Venice, Alessandro moved to sit with the beloved couple and their kids—which almost made Chiara scream—and Anthony was taking pictures of the morning sunset through the plane’s window.
This team went together perfectly.
As everyone was in their own conversations, Chiara noticed Julie looking at her with squinted eyes. Though before anything happens, the pilot announces takeoff and requests everyone to shut off their devices. Once she turns off her phone she looks up to find the stewardess gone. Letting out a sigh of relief, she lays her head back on the seat and decides to take a nap to avoid her tormentor.
It was just her luck.
-
The jet jolting made Chiara curse under her breath. She didn’t know why she was tired for some reason. Hopefully she could sleep more before—
“And we have arrived in Venice. Enjoy your stay folks.”
Shit.
Looking around, Chiara finds everybody grabbing ahold of their items, most likely getting ready to leave the plane. In the corner of her eye she sees Jeff and Tommy move forward to help Harry and Y/N with their luggage.
Right as she was going to pull out her suitcase, she sees a bunch of security making their way out of the airport and to the jet. About seven or eight men stood by the stairs of the plane, patiently waiting for the next celebrities they needed to guard.
Just the way Harry, Y/N and their kids needed that much security made her suck in a breath. Tomorrow was definitely going to be hectic.
Now with her suitcase in hand, the makeup artist stands up and waits for everyone to make their way out of the plane. As she stands by waiting, she makes eye contact with the person who she was dreading the most. She didn’t know what the red head was up to—hopefully she wasn’t up to anything.
Quickly looking away from her, Chiara makes her way to the woman that gave her this job and offers Y/N if she needs any help with anything. But before she could respond, Harry butts in with a shake of his head.
“It’s fine I got it. Thank you though.” Harry tells her, smiling. As he was about to walk down the aisle, he quickly rushed back and grabbed Y/N’s tote bag that was clearly holding a lot of things. That action made her kiss his cheek before he rushed off with Jeffrey and Lambert.
“Sorry that Harry hasn’t formally introduced himself. He’s really jittery and worried about the whole red carpet situation.” Y/N softly smiles at her hired makeup artist.
Red carpet situation?
“Sorry to ask but…red carpet situation?”
She could tell Y/N was hesitant to answer and that made her nervous, yet the woman walking up behind the mother of two made her heart beat—even more faster than it already was. Not wanting to talk to the flight attendant, she quickly dismisses herself to Y/N and tells her she will see her when they get off the jet. Once she receives a smile and a nod she races down the aisle.
She’s not going to put herself through hell, again.
With the help of another flight attendant, Chiara makes it on concrete with her suitcase. Moving to stand next to Lambert, she watches Harry race back inside the jet.
“Amazing, huh?”
Turning her head, she finds Alessandro Michele staring down at her. Being under his stare made her want to cry and run away but she stayed put and nodded. How does one talk to the creative director of Gucci?
“Yes. I can’t believe this is still happening.” She says with a smile. “I’m so honored to be apart of this team.”
“Well get used to it. Y/N seriously adores you which means you might be permanently apart of her and Harry’s team.” Alessandro playfully nudges her, making her smile grow.
For about fifteen minutes she stands there with the biggest grin ever, Harry however now appears at the top of the stairs with Beau in his hold and a small backpack—most likely Beau’s—slung over his shoulder. Before making his way down the jet stairs, he glances back at someone who turns out to be Y/N holding their daughter. She gives him a smile which makes him begin to walk down the airstairs with his son in his grasp.
As they make it to the last step, Chiara realizes the couple changed their outfits including Beau and Inez.
Harry now had a deep purple blazer over the green/pink Gucci cardigan he already was wearing beforehand and blue jeans instead of the grey sweats he previously had on. Rather than the Love on Tour hoodie and biker shorts, Y/N now was dressed in a purple sundress that had an open back and switched up her Adidas for a pair of white sandals.
What Inez and Beau had on almost made the makeup artist awe out loud. Both were in purple like their parents but Inez had on this ruffle dress that had her fingers playing with the fabric and Beau wore these white trousers paired with a shirt that had a flower printed on it.
“Cutest family ever!”
“Bellissima!”
-
“Please come, I really want you there.”
“I really don’t want to sit in a room full of reporters and paparazzi.” Y/N pouts playfully making Harry breathe out a laugh. “I will be here once you get back. I promise.”
Harry sits on his knees for a couple more seconds before nodding slowly. Standing up, he slightly bends down and places a kiss on Y/N’s forehead.
“Alright darling. I’ll see you when I get back.” Harry smiles nodding at his fiancé. Once Lambert opens the door, Jeffrey walks out of the hotel room followed by Tommy, Anthony and of course Harry. Yet he stops himself in the doorway, blowing Y/N and his children a kiss before getting pushed out by his stylist.
Chiara smiled at the couple's interaction. They both were so cute together that it made her wish she had a relationship like theirs. She had read about the two being each other’s soulmates and thought it was all bullshit—since every celebrity couple broke up within 10 years. But there was something about Harry and Y/N that just proved they were going to be together forever.
As Y/N moves to the bed where her children were watching a Disney movie on her iPad, Chiara decides to start unpacking her makeup supplies. Being in a room alone with Y/N soon to be Styles and her kids made her anxious—though after Alessandro words from yesterday repeated in her head, she realized she had nothing really to worry about.
The amount of products the makeup artist brought was insane but she wanted to be prepared for any look that Y/N wanted. Doing an A List celebrity’s makeup for one of the most prestigious movie festivals made her bite her lip trying to hide her excitement.
“I’m almost done setting up the station, I just need to go grab your clothes from Alessandro’s room.” Chiara turns to the mother looking down at her children with a smile.
“No need getting the clothes from his room, I’ll have Harry pick them up on the way back.” Y/N softly shakes her head which makes Chiara’s tense shoulders drop. This Y/N woman was amazing. The majority of the people she worked with were just plain rude to her. Yet here Y/N was giving her fiancé the tasks that were given to the makeup artist.
“Thank you, seriously. I don’t even know where the room is.” She smiles making Y/N laugh.
-
Right when the tv lights up with the press conference, both Y/N and Chiara get situated on the couch while Beau and Inez stay seated on the bed, playing with their stuffed animals. The blonde was still surprised when Y/N asked if she wanted to watch the conference with her.
The cast one by one gets introduced as they walk in. Chiara notices a small grin on Y/N's face when Harry nods and waves. She yearned for a relationship like theirs.
“Look at daddy guys!” Y/N points to the screen which makes Beau smile. He whispers something quickly to his sister making her look up to the tv. The amount of features they got from Harry was baffling. Green eyes, dimpled smile and curly haired all reminded the makeup artist of their father. You could immediately tell they were apart of the Styles family.
It was cute the way the two siblings interacted. Most famous children acted like brats which she hated to admit, but it was the truth. Beau had even greeted her and the team the first minute he walked in with his parents and sister. He had way better manners than most adults and that said a lot.
As the press conference continues on, Y/N and Chiara’s stay seated on the couch watching the cast answer questions. The blonde sat beside the mother of two could tell she was growing annoyed at the questions being asked—specifically to Harry.
Where is your fiancé?
How does Y/N feel about the sexual scenes in the movie?
Is your fiancé pregnant again?
When are you both getting married, have you set an official date?
Now Chiara understood why Y/N didn’t want to attend the press conference with Jeffrey. The press was truly invasive.
“Shit. I don’t know how we’re gonna bring Bee and Nez.” Y/N mumbles to herself standing up. With furrowed brows the makeup artist stops herself from asking anything. Maybe that was the red carpet circumstance she tried to bring up earlier. “I don’t think you know about the whole situation for the red carpet…Do you?”
“I think you were trying to tell me yesterday but we both got interrupted.” She shakes her head making Y/N nod.
“Well, H and I decided to take Inez and Beau to the premiere with us. But I’m afraid of how paparazzi and fans will react.” Y/N sighs leaning back onto the couch arm. Chiara widened her eyes at that news. The Styles children had their identities hidden ever since they were born and them making a debut at the premiere sounded surprising—very surprising.
The blonde felt for the mother. She must’ve been so stressed about bringing them to the film festival with her and Harry. The amount of press, fans and paparazzi probably had her nervous about the whole situation.
“I think it’s going to be fine.” Chiara reassures Y/N. “Harry is really protective over you three.”
“That he definitely is.” Y/N smiles glancing at Beau bonding with Inez. She just needed to be reassured by Harry that it was all going to go well. Bringing their children to a red carpet event had her palms sweating. But attending the premiere with Harry calmed her nerves because she knew he would protect her and the kids, like he always has done.
Nobody really knew about Beau and Inez attending since Harry called it top secret. Not even the makeup artist on the team knew until Y/N told her just a few minutes ago. This was definitely going to be a surprise to everyone.
Once the conference ends, Y/N decides to start getting ready since the premiere was happening in less than two hours.
With Inez in her lap and Beau distracted by a Disney movie playing on the television, Y/N discusses a bunch of makeup looks with Chiara. Going through the makeup artist’s camera roll had the mother wanting to do about ten different makeup looks all at once. Finally, after about changing their mind multiple times, they both settle on a 60s inspired look
Sharon Tate’s iconic eyeliner was the inspiration for the look and Chiara couldn’t be more excited.
-
Watching Y/N swipe pink and blue glittery eyeshadow on Beau’s eyelids was the most adorable thing ever. When the little voice interrupted Chiara doing Y/N’s makeup and asked if he could wear makeup too, it made her heart melt. So of course Y/N traded her seat for the floor and let her son take her seat with his sister.
Now with a giggly Inez leaning against her brother’s chest, their mother hovers over them with an eyeshadow brush while Chiara stands next to her holding about five different eye shadow palettes.
The makeup artist loved the way Y/N let Beau express himself especially as a child. She was just an overall amazing mother.
“Hmmm…more pink.” Beau lisps looking at the mirror Y/N was holding up for him. She smiles nodding, dipping the eyeshadow brush in the pallet Chiara was holding up for her. Adding more pink color to Beau’s eyelids had Y/N grinning like a proud mother.
“You look so handsome, my love!” The mother says making Beau beam.
Just as Y/N stood up, the hotel room door opens revealing Harry dragging a rack of clothes followed by his team. The sight made Chiara’s eyes widen. Y/N actually told him to get the clothes she was supposed to get. Y/N truly was a godsend.
With the help of their mother, Beau and Inez quickly jump down from the chair and rush to their father. Almost instantly Harry drops down to his knees and holds open his arms. Once the two children were in his hold, a huge smile grew on Harry’s face. You could tell he loved and adored his children. Just the way he dropped everything to hug them was so cute.
“Oh! I love your makeup Bee.” Harry smiles lovingly which makes Beau grin ear to ear.
“Mama did it!” The Styles child says making Harry look up and make eye contact with his fiancé. Y/N bites her lip suppressing a smile.
“Mama is just the best right?!” Harry giggles ruffling his son's blonde hair. Beau nods agreeing with his father. The makeup artist almost let out an awe at the moment. Both boys were so appreciative of Y/N, it was the sweetest thing ever. “And look at this little cutie in her pink robe.”
“Gucci!” Inez’s high pitched voice shouts. Y/N laughs shaking her head, Harry just had to teach their daughter how to say Gucci.
“Yes, darling!” Lambert cheers as he unwraps the plastic that protected the clothes hanging on the rack. Chiara loved this environment. It was the most positive space ever.
As everyone begins to get ready for the premiere—Y/N continues to get ready. Clothes are starting to be laid out, Anthony is rearranging all the cameras he was going to take and Jeff makes sure everything is in order before the time arrives for the event. Everything seemed amazing in Chiara’s opinion.
While Y/N finishes getting her makeup done, Harry is sitting right by her legs playing with their children. The amount of stuffed animals the two brought overseas was insanely cute. Watching the family interact genuinely made a smile appear on the makeup artist’s face. Their type of bond was the strongest ever, not like those types of celebrity families that just acted like a fake family in front of cameras.
Just as Chiara is finishing up the makeup look she notices Harry’s hand laid on Y/N’s thigh as she messes around with his rings—including his extravagant engagement ring. The couple’s sweet little gestures made the blonde believe in the word love again.
-
“Baby could you help me put my gloves on?”
Chirara widened her eyes at Y/N walking in the room with both children perched on her hip. She looked stunning in her blue gown, so stunning that it made Harry stand there with his mouth slightly ajar. The makeup artist couldn’t blame him though. Y/N took her breath away too.
“Yes, darling.” Harry smiles helping her place their two already dressed kids on the couch. Once the parents made sure Beau and Inez had nothing around them that could dirty their pretty outfits, Harry grabbed the gloves hanging from the rack. Chiara quickly recognized the blue suit Harry had on was the same suit Beau was wearing and the gown Y/N wore was the same as Inez’s gown.
They were all matching—the father and son were matching and the mother and daughter were matching. That was just so fucking cute.
Watching Harry help Y/N put her gloves on was the sweetest thing ever. He would look up at her to make sure he wasn’t hurting her and when she would nod, encouraging him to continue he just smiled. It was just the little things that had Chiara wishing she had a relationship like theirs.
After Y/N has the blue fabric on her arms, she and Harry then switch to put Inez’s gloves on. The smiley baby showcasing her gums had no clue what her parents were rolling on her arms and she did not seem to care. Once the blue gloves are on Nez’s chubby arms, Harry slobbers a kiss on her cheek which makes her giggle.
Right as Jeff announced the boat was waiting for the couple and their children, Harry bends down onto his knees—which makes Lambert suck in a breath—grabbing Y/N’s blue heels and slips them on her feet.
That action had Chiara’s mouth drop. Y/N didn’t even ask him to put her heels on. Nobody was a gentleman like Harry was. He treated his fiancé and kids so well.
Beau jumping around in the same shoes Harry had on—white boots with a red heart printed on the side of them—looked adorable. The little boy definitely was a clone of his father’s. The curly hair, green eyes and dimpled smile was all from Harry.
“Let’s take a quick shot of you guys!”
Anthony holds out his camera as Y/N and Harry pose for the photo with Beau and Inez in their grasp. When Anthony gets about a dozen pictures of the family, everyone begins to get ready to leave. Before he makes his way out of the hotel room, Harry whispers to his photographer to send him all the photos he took.
Now walking out of the hotel room and into the elevator with everyone had Chiara’s nerves growing. She couldn’t imagine how Harry and Y/N were feeling.
It takes a few seconds to get to the lobby and once those lift doors open, the couple holding their children walk out followed by the team. Ironically the hotel had a distance to The Venice Film Festival which meant they had to take a boat and then a car to get to the prominent event.
And it didn’t help the fact that they were about twenty minutes late.
-
“They said he’s not coming.”
Ludo widens her eyes as she slips her phone in her back pocket. Leaning on the barricade railing she replies to her friend. Harry Styles was not coming to his own premiere?
“I hope he does.” Ludo says glancing back at the red carpet that has the cast of Don’t Worry Darling circling it. The amount of people that were behind the barricade were waiting for the familiar musician. Yet there have been rumors of him not going to attend.
Just as she was hearing whispers about Harry not showing, a car pulled up to the red carpet. Even though it could be literally anyone, people began to scream their heads off. Right as the car doors open revealing the person everyone waiting for, the screams multiply and grow louder. This was the moment Ludo was here for.
Though, watching Harry round the car and opening the opposite vehicle door made her confused as well as everyone else. People in the crowd began to murmur about what he could be doing.
But once the crowd saw a child in his arms, they all began screaming more than they did before. Yet nothing could’ve prepared Ludo for this next moment. A hand grabs onto Harry’s as he helps them get out of the car, when the teenage girl saw who was wearing the blue gown and platform heels, she gasps covering her mouth with her hand.
Y/N L/N was holding her daughter Inez who was wearing the same gown she was. Seeing the mother and daughter duo matching made Ludo let out an awe. Even Harry and his son were matching!
With an arm wrapped around her waist, Harry and Y/N began to walk down the red carpet with their children. It was insane seeing the Styles children faces without a fruit emoji covering their identity. Ludo was in shock at the way Beau looked exactly like Harry. The little boy had the same green eyes and smile—they even had the same dimples. It was the most adorable thing ever.
Inez too! Even though she was still a baby, she carried a lot of Harry’s features like her big brother did.
“Is Beau wearing eyeshadow?” Someone cries from the crowd. That sentence made everyone began to scream all over again. Looking at the Styles' child with squinted eyes made her realize he was actually wearing pink and blue eyeshadow—sparkly eyeshadow. He looked so cute wearing the bright colors on his eyelids.
As Harry puts down Beau, Y/N puts Inez in his arms after she was making grabby hands towards him. Now holding her son's hand, Y/N follows Harry further down the red carpet where the cast was hanging out.
The amount of camera flashes going off was crazy. Paparazzi were trying to get every angle of the Styles family as well as fans.
Everyone begins to smile and laugh at Inez grabbing Harry’s sunglasses off his face and attempting to put them on herself with her chubby little hands. The musician grins helping his daughter slip on his pair of Gucci sunglasses. Watching the two interact was literally the sweetest thing ever. Even though they had cameras on them, the Styles family seemed to be in their own little world.
Now with sunglasses covering up the majority of her face, Inez gives a gummy grin to Harry which makes the cameras go off wanting to catch the father and daughter moment.
As Harry and Y/N finish taking photos with their children, the four of them begin to get interviewed. Even though Ludo couldn’t hear anything, she could just tell Harry was so happy, giggling over something Y/N was saying. They looked so content with each other.
She had read online about the two being such an amazing couple and seeing them in person just supported that statement. Watching the Styles family interact was literally the most wholesome thing ever.
After their quick interview, Ludo notices Harry’s manager guiding them to the cast ready to take photos.
Y/N tries to walk away with the children but Harry’s arm wrapping around her waist stops her. He whispers something in her ear and points at the cast. Even though the couple and two children already walked down the red carpet, they were going to be in the cast photos—even when they weren’t apart of the Don't Worry Darling cast.
Looking at Y/N greet Florence was the best thing ever. Both of the women looked so excited when they saw each other. The gleam in their eyes as they complemented each other was seriously the cutest thing ever. And when the blonde saw the Styles children her smile widened.
Ludo could see Florence shout oh my god before picking up a giggly Beau. The boy smiles, wrapping his arms around Flo’s shoulders. They both laugh about something together which makes the cameras go off, once again.
The cast now began to get situated to take the final photos of the day. Florence had Beau in her arms as she stood next to Y/N who had Inez in her arms also. Harry went to rewrap his arm around his fiancés waist as he swiftly kissed her cheek which made a smile grow on her face.
The Styles family was truly admirable, everyone loved them.

Luna didn’t know why she decided to work for a partying catering service. It was always the rich assholes throwing parties and treating their servers like crap. But if you wanted to get paid on time and earn tips, you just had to smile and nod at whatever people said.
Nonetheless she didn’t expect Y/N L/N to throw her fiancé, Harry goddamn Styles a party to celebrate his new movie that’s coming out quite soon.
She had known Y/N was the most beautiful woman ever and seeing her in person made her mouth go dry. The black dress she was in hugged her body perfectly—and her heels, her heels were to die for. Everything about her just seemed perfect.
Watching Harry and Y/N walk in with friends had Luna’s palms sweating. She literally just went to his shows a few months ago and owned a bunch of his merch. Is she a fan? Of fucking course she is. That’s why she had to go into the kitchen to quietly freak out.
Once she’s calm and collected, she grabs her server plate and heads to the bar. Passing by celebrities seemed insane to Luna. Alessandro Michele, Gemma Chan, Chris Pine and even Florence Pugh had her sucking in her breath. This wasn’t like the old money parties rich men usually threw, this was a celebrity party and it made her more nervous than anything.
A loud childish scream makes her glance up from the drinks that were getting poured. Seeing a little boy with curly hair sitting on top of Harry’s shoulder was the cutest thing ever. She didn’t realize the little boy was Beau until she noticed his dimpled smile. Her smile dropped as she took in what he looked like.
He was literally a miniature Harry Styles. The Me Myself & I + Gucci sweater he had on just proved he was Harry’s son.
“Hey Lu.” Ricky, a server greets his coworker. “Do you know if that woman is single over there? She dropped this cloth on the way—“
“This is a baby’s bib which means she’s not single.” Luna shakes her head looking down at the bib. “And who are you even pointing at?”
“Well not anymore—“
“Who? So I can return this for you.” She cuts him off, making him point his hand at Harry’s direction. Following where he was pointing she widens her eyes.
“That lady in the black dress.” Ricky mumbles, walking off before Luna could scold him for not knowing about Y/N L/N being engaged to Harry Styles. He was the type of guy that had birds for brains.
Walking over to the Styles family hanging out with their friends made her palms sweat and knees weak. Not wanting to interrupt their conversation she tries to slide the fabric onto the table but a man with a familiar cross tattoo on his hand looks at her.
What does one do when Harry Styles looks at them?
“S-sorry my coworker said your fiancé dropped this.” Luna stutters, making Harry smile gratefully. She glances at Y/N sitting in his lap engaging in a conversation with Florence. The blonde actress had a baby in her lap—who was most likely Inez—wearing a blue strawberry dress that reminded her of Harry’s Harryween costume. She’s soon come to the conclusion that it was his costume, just a mini version of it.
“Thank you for returning this. My fiancé was looking for it.” Harry smiles, grabbing the bib off the table.
After nodding and smiling politely, Luna turns around and thinks about the interaction she just had with her favorite singer ever. She will be forever thinking about today.

Cracked Clay Cup Chapter 3
Short one! @greatbigolhampuckjustforme
.
She was doing it.  She was doing it.  She was convincing him.  She’d been dubious about the whole endeavor.  Dubious about its necessity, dubious about her ability to pull it off, dubious about basically becoming Danny’s parent, everything.
But, well, if it was what needed to be done, it was what she would do.  
She’d freaked out at first, of course.  Hearing about it.  Hearing about how many people wanted to take Danny, who’d take advantage of him like that.  Hearing about what she’d need to do to keep that from happening.  Maybe she and Danny joked about her raising him, but it really wasn’t true.  
But then it was happening, regardless of whether or not Danny or Jazz wanted it to happen.  And their parents were… Well, they hadn’t been disqualified, but Jazz knew they took a lot of getting used to.  She didn’t have high hopes that they would be Danny’s choice.  
Jazz, then, would offer another option.  Even if Danny picked randomly, two ‘safe’ choices were better than one.  He wouldn’t pick randomly, though.  He might be exasperating at times, but he was a decent judge of character.  She was sure he could sense her intentions, mentions of mad science labs aside.  
Considering those questions, her parents definitely wouldn’t be getting him again.  It was fine.  It was all for the best, really.
Really.  Things would be better.  After.  After all of this was done.  
She smiled at herself in the bathroom mirror.  No need to bother Danny with her brooding.  He’d been here for a week now, and things were going great.  
She walked out, stopped by her study, then swung by her study to pick up a few papers before going to the kitchen.  Danny was sitting at the table there, working on schoolwork.  It’d do no good if she got custody and everything turned out alright on the Danny custody front only for him to completely fail high school!  
Okay, that wasn’t entirely true.  
Still.  She didn’t want this to set back his education.  
“Okay, once you finish the English, I have the social studies.”
Danny looked up at her.  “You can’t be serious.”
“I’m always going to take your education seriously, Danny.  It’s important that you stay on track to graduate.”
“I still think that’s sort of redundant for a ghost.”
“Half ghost.”
“I still haven’t seen any evidence about that by the way.”
“Well you would if you transformed.”
“And I’d do that, if you actually describe how I’m supposed to do that.”
“Well, you sort of just did it.”  Danny had never given her a lot of details about what being half ghost felt like, or how it worked mechanically.  Even though she’d asked.  It was awfully inconvenient of him.  
Danny shook his head and looked back at his homework.  He tapped his pencil on the table a few times, then looked at the top page of the social studies work.  
“A presentation?” he asked.  
Jazz nodded.  “It can be in poster form if you’d like.”
Danny sucked in his lower lip and nodded.  “But this is it, right?  This is all you want me to do?”
“Well, that and the English essay you have under here.”
Danny pulled out that sheet of paper and grimaced.  “You– That’s really– No.  No.  Nope.  No.  This is way too much.  You can’t expect me to do all this, this much every day.”
“It’s a totally normal high school workload.  Seven classes–”
“Doesn’t that normally include PE?  And, like, a study hall?  Or something fun?  Maybe?”  He ran his hands through his hair, which had a really strange and fascinating effect on his ears.  
“You have astronomy and science, you like that.”
“But I still need to use my brain for it.  I’m talking about things I can turn my brain off for.  Or whatever it is that ghosts think with.  Whatever it is, it’s making my head hurt.  I can’t keep going at this pace.  I’ll lose it.”
“Don’t be so down on yourself.  You can do this.  And you do have a brain.”
“You sound very sure of that.”
She’d walked right into Danny’s mad science paranoia again.
“Humans have brains.  It’s common sense.”
Danny’s eyes flicked down Jazz’s carefully formulated English assignment once again, and he shook his head.  “No.  I can’t do this.  Not any longer.  It’s been a week.”  He dropped the paper.  “It’s been a week, and there are six other people to talk to, so, thanks for the cool bedroom and not dissecting me but–”
“Danny, wait–” said Jazz, seeing where this was going a split second before Danny raised his hand to the pocketwatch.  
She was too late. Danny clicked the button, and he was gone.  
“Well,” said Jazz.  She sat down at the kitchen table, feeling heavy.  “Crap.”

Tumblr media
He doesn’t know my name… Seriously? 
It bothered you more than you cared to admit, Eddie Munson not remembering your name. You’d known the guy since middle school. You talked to him on a near-daily basis… okay, “talking” might be a little inaccurate; mostly you just made snide comments about him under your breath. But he always heard you. You know he heard you because he would always get annoyed and glare at you, just like he did tonight. 
Between your sophomore and senior year, you shared a total of eight classes together, and you spent half of them sitting directly behind him. Were you really that forgettable? You expected that kind of treatment from conceited jerks like Andy Hauffman and Clay Howard, but you didn’t think Eddie Munson was that self-absorbed. 
Now you felt hurt and betrayed… not so unlike Julius Caesar.
Et tu, Eddie? 
You must have been wearing your disappointment on your face because as soon as you rejoined the group, the first words out of Jason Carver’s mouth were, “What’s wrong? Hey, did that freak do something to you?”
“Hm? Oh… no, that’s not…” You saw Chrissy staring at you with a worried expression, so you tried to wave it off like it was nothing. “I’m fine, really.” 
Jason put his hand on your shoulder, gave it a small squeeze. “You sure?” 
“Yeah, I’m sure.” 
He frowned, unconvinced. “Well, you should be careful around that guy, okay? He’s dangerous.” 
You scrunched up your face. “What? Eddie’s not dangerous. I mean, yeah, he looks all mean and scary, but he’s really just a big geek. It’s kind of hilarious, actually…” You trailed off, letting your eyes wander back toward the entrance, where Eddie Munson was standing around all helpless and miserable, looking like a sad little puppy with those big, round brown eyes… 
For a second, you felt bad about how you treated him, but only for a second. 
You clapped your hands together. “Anyway, shouldn’t we be heading in? Get this prom party started? If the future king and queen don’t make an appearance soon, the peasants will surely riot.”
Jason continued to watch Eddie with a suspicious glare. Then he gave a faint nod to his friends. “Come on, guys, let’s go,” and he went up the stairs first. 
You and Chrissy walked side by side, a few steps behind everyone else. 
“What did he want?” she whispered. 
“Who?”
“You know who.” 
“Oh… He just wanted my extra prom ticket.” 
She gasped, delighted. “And…?”
“And… I flipped him off and told him to go to hell.” 
Chrissy cringed. “Ugh, of course you did… You know, did it ever occur to you that this might be your Pretty in Pink moment? I mean, think about it: Chance gets food poisoning, so you’re stuck going to prom alone, and now who shows up but Eddie Munson, of all people? You don’t have a date. He doesn’t have a date. I dunno about you, but to me that sounds like quite the coincidence.” She smiled a wide, positively sunny smile. 
You scoffed. “He didn’t want a date, Chris. He wanted my prom ticket. It’s not half as romantic as you’re making it out to be.”  
“Well, maybe if you actually talked to him like a normal person…”
“Hey, I talk to him.” 
“No, you tease him. I know you think that’s the same thing, but it’s not.” 
“Well, it’s not my fault. The jokes are just there, floating all around me. I have to grab ‘em or else they’ll die for nothing. And he’s such an easy target… everything he does is so over the top. It’s like he’s begging me to mock him.” 
“Well, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.” 
“You know, I’ve never really understood that expression. Why are you trying to catch flies with either of those things? Just get a bug zapper and fry the suckers.” Chuckling, you went to take the next step, but Chrissy grabbed your elbow and yanked you back. 
The gravity of her demeanor was startling.
“Look, you’re running out of time. Is this really how you wanna end your senior year?” She raised her eyebrows, hinting at knowledge only she possessed. “Think about it.” Then she went up, leaving you stranded on the step. 
Well, that’s easy for you to say… You’re basically a goddess in this school. 
You glanced back to where Eddie had been standing, but he was already gone.
Tumblr media
School dances had always been a sore spot for you. 
Before tonight, you had only attended one school dance: the Hawkins Middle School Snow Ball in 1981. The night started out like a dream. You put on your favorite dress. You wore your hair differently, spent hours in front of the mirror getting it just right. The gym was decorated like a silver and blue tinsel wonderland, and you were having the time of your life: eating cookies, drinking punch, laughing with Chrissy and all of your friends. Then the DJ played your favorite ABBA song, and you truly felt like the Dancing Queen. It was magical. 
But then the first slow song came on over the speakers: “Endless Love” by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross, and you felt the atmosphere… shift. It snuck up behind you and caught you completely off guard. All around you, couples came together naturally, drawn to each other from across the gym like magnets. One after another, they paired up without a word, and you were left stranded.
Alone. 
Chrissy, being the considerate friend she was, asked Preston Bailey to dance with you. Yeah, Preston was a real Prince Charming. He looked at you in your favorite dress and just shrugged; then his arms sort of flopped out like two wet noodles. It was absolutely humiliating. 
For the sake of your pride, you said no to Preston Bailey and his pity dance. And despite your pride, you spent the rest of the night crying in the girls’ restroom.
You’d never felt so unwanted and unloved. 
And now, while you stood atop the balcony overlooking the dance floor, while Alphaville’s “Forever Young” droned on and on in the background, while couples swayed with their arms lovingly wrapped around one another, you felt all those old, ugly emotions come flooding back. 
God help me, you thought and began your slow descent into Hell. 
You found your group’s table right away, beneath a sheer canopy of white and gold. It was draped with white linen, decorated with candles and roses, and set perfectly for six, everyone’s seat denoted by a pretty white place card. Jason Carver and Chrissy Cunningham, Andy Hauffman and Heather White, Chance Gallagher and…
You picked up Chance Gallagher’s card and ripped it in half twice, then tossed the pieces over your right shoulder. 
Jason pulled Chrissy’s chair out for her, and she thanked him with a smile. 
“I’m gonna go grab a slice of cake before it’s gone,” Jason said. “Do you want vanilla or chocolate?”
Chrissy said, “Oh, no cake for me, thank you. My stomach’s still a little upset from dinner.”
“Oh…” Jason reached out and tenderly stroked her cheek with his thumb. “You okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. It’s probably just, you know, from all the excitement.” But when she looked at you, her eyes suddenly became downcast. 
Jason frowned. “Well, okay… Y/N, what about you?”
“Either one’s fine,” you said. “I don’t discriminate against cake.” 
Jason snorted a laugh. “My kinda girl… All right, I’ll be back.” 
Once Jason left, Chrissy said to you in a quiet voice, “I really am fine.” 
“I didn’t say anything.” 
“Yeah, but I know what you’re thinking… and I’m fine.” 
“Okay…” 
And now Frankie Goes to Hollywood was telling you both to “Relax.”
You picked up a paper ballot and a tiny pencil. “Just don’t let the pressure of tonight set you back, Chris. That’s all I’m gonna say.”  
You drew an X next to Chrissy’s name.
Tumblr media
A short while later, while you were picking at the crumbs from your cake, Chrissy and Jason left to go greet some more of their friends. That’s when you spotted a familiar face at one of the nearby tables. You got up and went over to him, plopping down in an empty chair. 
“Hey, Jeff,” you said over the music. “You’re looking pretty snazzy tonight.” 
Jeff turned his head and smiled. “Well, look who it is… What brave soul asked you to prom?” 
“Chance Gallagher.” You looked away. “But he’s dead now.” 
“What?”
“He got food poisoning… I tagged along with Chrissy and Jason.”  
“Oh… a threesome, huh?” He grimaced. “Well, that’s brutal.” 
“Yup.” You stole a bite of his cake. “Hey, where’s your date?”
“Tara? She’s over there with her friends. I forgot to make dinner reservations, so now she’s giving me the silent treatment… Apparently, I ruined her prom night by making her eat a hamburger.” 
You shrugged. “What’s wrong with a hamburger?”
“Right…? See, we should’ve just gone to prom together.” 
“Well, you didn’t ask me.” You went to take another bite of his cake, but Jeff pulled his plate away. 
“Umm, excuse me,” he said with a lighthearted chuckle. “I’m still eating that, you know.” 
You smiled sheepishly and put his fork down. “Sorry.” 
Then you leaned back in your chair and looked around for a minute, searching for nobody in particular. “So Eddie the Genius forgot to buy a ticket, huh?”
“Oh, you saw him?”
“Yeah, he tried to bum one off me… Naturally, I refused.” You folded your arms over your chest and went quiet. “Would you believe he doesn’t know my name?”
“What?” Jeff drew away from you, dumbstruck. “No way… No, I refuse to believe that.” 
“I promise you, he doesn’t. You should have seen the look on his face, Jeff. It was like I’d just asked him to recite the first seven digits of pi.” 
“Really…?” He slumped back in his chair. “Damn!” 
Out on the dance floor, the tempo picked up as the DJ drove into the next track: “Dancing With Myself” by Billy Idol. That’s when Grant came bursting out of the crowd and collapsed against the table, red-faced and sweating, huffing and puffing with exhaustion. 
“She’s trying to kill me,” Grant said. “Oh my god, she’s trying to kill me!” 
Behind him, Megan Mulrooney was bopping away to the beat and singing at the top of her lungs: “If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance… And I’d be dancing with myself, ah, oh, oh-oh, yeah…” 
You smiled at Grant. “What’s up, Lord of the Dance?”
Grant bent his head and wheezed. “Shut up, Y/N.” Then he grabbed Jeff’s cup of punch and gulped the whole thing down. 
While he was drinking, Jeff said, “Hey, man, get a load of this: Eddie doesn’t remember Y/N’s name. Can you believe it?” 
Grant wiped his mouth with a napkin, then dabbed his forehead, too. “Yeah, I’d believe that.” 
“What?” you said. “Why?”
Grant laughed a deep, sinister laugh. “Oh, come on, you know why… The Shrieking Queen’s Catacombs? Does that ring any bells?” 
“No,” you said, but Jeff gasped. 
“Oh my god," he said. “‘The Bargain from Below!’” 
Grant nodded. “‘The Bargain from Below.’” 
“What?” You sat up in your chair, looked at Jeff, then Grant, then back to Jeff. “‘The Bargain from…’ Oh… Oh, come on, you can’t be serious. Guys, that was back in middle school! He can’t possibly still be mad about that.” 
Jeff said, “No, he’s definitely still mad about that.” 
“Why?” 
“You kinda ruined the whole campaign.” 
“Yeah, but how? All I did was accept the demon’s bargain.” 
“You weren’t supposed to accept the demon’s bargain!” 
“But he was offering me the ultimate power...” 
Jeff and Grant bellowed with rage: “YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT THE ULTIMATE POWER! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RHETORICAL!” 
You threw your hands up, not getting it at all. “Well, if it was rhetorical, then Scottie shouldn’t have let me accept it in the first place. But that’s not my fault. I was totally playing by the Dungeon Master’s rules.” 
Jeff said in a small voice, “Yeah, but you didn’t have to kill Eddie…” 
You smirked. “Well, the demon demanded a blood sacrifice.” 
(What? You can’t do that! Scottie, tell her she can’t do that!)
(Actually, I think it adds an interesting dynamic to the story...)
(Dude, what the fuck? No, it doesn't! It totally ruins the story. Now she has the ultimate power and she's just gonna tank all the monsters!)
Jeff said, “Admit it, you did that on purpose.” 
You held in a laugh. “Okay, fine, maybe I did… but I wasn’t expecting him to get as mad as he did. I was just trying to add some spice to the story, and he acted like I killed him in real life. Then he stormed out of Scottie’s basement and said I completely ruined D&D for him. Overdramatic much? Come on, it’s just a game…”
Jeff and Grant shook their heads in condemnation and your shoulders sank. “So, what, now you’re saying he’s totally blocked me from his memory? And all because of some stupid campaign that happened a million years ago? Please, that guy needs to get over himself.” You got up and stormed back to your table. 
When you were out of earshot, Grant said, “I’m guessing we shouldn’t tell her about Eddie’s plan, huh?”
Jeff winced. “Not unless you have a death wish.”

So, here’s a oneshot request: Can you make an alternative version of your oneshot “Battle of the Bands”? So it’s basically the same, but except, there are some changes. And they’re focused on Veneer. On the outside, he acts how he acts in the original version, but inside, he has been keeping his secret that he has been secretly vocally trained by Floyd to find his true talent while Velvet was away, and Veneer comes up with his own plan inside, and at the climax of the oneshot, he turns against Velvet and joins Poppy, John Dory, Spruce, Clay, and Floyd and helps to free Branch. The reason I’m requesting this is because some people have been theorizing that Veneer will be redeemed. I would be glad if you did this idea.
I definitely had to finish writing this up after seeing the new Veneer clip that came out!
Redeemed (a Trolls fanfic)
Summary: A slightly altered take to the oneshot "Battle of the Bands"; The final confrontation between the Trolls and the doll siblings takes place, with a twist for the better
__________________________________________
“STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU FREAKS!”
Shock jolted through Velvet when she heard that voice boom out at her. She stopped, midway to inhaling that sweet Troll essence that would make her the most envied diva in Mount Rageous, when she’d been interrupted. She saw the blue-haired Troll within smile, and followed his line of sight below to where six little Trolls had just made their way over.
John Dory had been the one to call out, with a determined look on his face.  Behind him were Clay and Spruce who, from the look of it, were ready to rumble. Alongside them were Poppy and Floyd. Poppy frowned up at the dolled-creature, while Floyd too put on a brave face. And, sidling up to Poppy was Viva, who had met up with the group and was just as prepared for the showdown as her sister. It was a display of courage on all their parts, though Velvet thought otherwise.
She began to laugh in an instant at the five little Trolls, finding them ridiculous.
Veneer, however, didn’t laugh along with his sister. So far, he had been agreeing with everything she’d said, and it had succeeded in having them rise to fame, sure… but the cost it was coming at had disturbed him greatly. Floyd had been captured before this Branch Troll. And Floyd could’ve easily ran away, but he didn’t. He came back to face them, even after the danger he knew he’d get into. Veneer suddenly stopped to think… would Velvet do the same sort of thing for him? He tried to avoid looking at Floyd, but he could feel the magenta Troll’s gaze on him. And it was one of disappointment.
“Excuse me,” John Dory shouted, “I believe you have something that belongs to us!”
“Or should we say, someone,” Spruce pitched in with a huff.
“Oh, really?” Velvet asked sarcastically. “Sorry, guys, but this diamond – and everything in it – belongs to ME. So if you want it, you’re gonna have to – “
“HIT IT!”
Velvet startled at the interruption, a part of her infuriated for having her victory spiel cut off, and a part of her confused for what started happening right after the Pop Queen had cried out the command. Because the six Trolls gathered together, and jumped right into a song-and-dance routine.
“Every little thing I do Never seems enough for you You don't want to lose it again But I'm not like them Baby, when you finally Get to love somebody Guess what? It's gonna be me!”
“Ugh, what the heck is this supposed to be?!” Velvet asked angrily, getting no response aside from more singing. She was going to turn away and disregard whatever nonsense was going on, when she noticed something happening. She had to blink to make sure that she was actually seeing correctly, and sure enough it was right there, clear as day. It was a sort of light that was glowing around the six, similar to when Floyd’s talent had been sucked out, and it was sparkling and thrumming with energy as the routine continued. The lights were all a different color that coordinated to each Troll – a vibrant green, an alluring purple, an electric yellow, a tame magenta, and a couple of bright pinks. It swirled and sparkled in a way that had Velvet in awe, so much that she was taken off guard when the energy shot right out at her in a surprisingly powerful burst.
She yelped and fell back, right on Veneer, and causing them both to fall down again in a tumble of skinny arms and legs. She was relieved to find that she’d managed to hold onto the diamond, but her heart dropped when she gave it a quick examination. Right there, stretching like an ugly scar on one side, was a large, and quite deep-looking crack. Velvet made a noise of surprise and ran her finger over it, hoping it was just a horrible illusion, that her twisted dream was not at risk of falling apart at the seams…
… but found that it was very much real.
Taking note of the surprise on her face, the Trolls cheered, feeling the entirely opposite way of their rival.
Velvet narrowed her eyes menacingly. “So that’s the way they wanna play,” she muttered, and in a fury she hauled Veneer up by the arm. “Get up already!” she growled. “Looks like we got ourselves a little Band Battle.”
“A Band Battle?” Veneer echoed, but before he could continue saying what he wanted to say, Velvet had already shoved a microphone at him and grabbed one for herself. He sighed. Velvet would never listen to a word he said anyways. She hadn’t when he’d tried to ask her if it was wrong to hold a living being hostage just to improve themselves in the limelight. She had just rebuffed him, telling him that if he really wanted the fame, he wouldn’t be asking “stupid questions” like that.
I DO want the fame, Veneer told himself. It was all he and Velvet ever wanted. To be recognized. To shine like stars. To have their names plastered on every billboard and to top all of the charts. To be able to have enough money to buy whatever they wanted, when they wanted. But, every time he wondered if it was the right way to go about it, something else always came up. Like the way that his sister started to sing, elbowing him roughly in the ribs to join her so that they could gain the upper hand.
“Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something…!”
The production, like all of their other productions, was very flashy, an over-the-top deal. Because with Velvet, it had to be. It annoyed Veneer sometimes, but she seemed like she knew what she was doing… especially when he suddenly felt energy surging through him. It wasn’t the same colorful, friendly type of thing that had encompassed the Trolls. This was a dark kind, not only in the dull black and enchanting green schematic, but also with the wickedness that came with it. It was the way poison would look, if poison could be depicted in an abstract form. It flowed through Velvet too, and she grinned as their song blasted the Trolls back in a replica of what had happened to them moments earlier, only this time, the tables had been turned.
But the Trolls were as steadfast as they were musical.
“Don’t give up!” Poppy ever optimistically urged them. “We can do it!”
The group sang again, determined to prove it.
And Velvet and Veneer sang back at them, determined to put an end to it. Or, at least the former did. Veneer was starting to wish this whole ordeal could be over with. Why couldn’t they all just get along?
But back and forth the supercharged music went, both ends were vastly different, and both were putting up quite the challenge against each other. But it was when the Trolls pulled together on another one of their verses, putting every bit of heart and soul into it that things in the battle began to sway. In a loud, clear crescendo, the brothers, Viva, and Poppy succeeded in creating a massive sonic-like explosion. The diamond cracked significantly more, rooting out from its initial crack so that it formed smaller ones, like tree roots or branches.
The siblings noticed and gasped, but Velvet was quicker to react. She adjusted her golden top better, straightened the loose emerald-colored curls on her head, and gripped the microphone so tightly that her knuckles turned far whiter than they already were.
Their musical counterattack, much to the Trolls’ distress, superseded their song. The soundwave was violent and overwhelming, wracking the Trolls body with horrible electrical pulsations that blew them backwards. While nobody suffered a physical injury, it seemed that their resolve was weakened.
“Hehehe, we’re winning! We’re WINNING!” Velvet giggled, clutching Veneer’s arm and jumping up and down like an excited little girl.
“Yeah… woo-hoo…” Veneer half-heartedly replied. He glanced over at the Trolls, who were growing distressed. Floyd in particular was looking quite worn, and Veneer felt guilt at knowing that it was because of him. The power that he and Velvet had drained from Floyd was what had been helping them ride off the battle. It had been the reason for the magenta Troll’s hair to turn white and his skin to have turned a strange, transparent color. Floyd had been the one to try and help Veneer, something that he had yet to tell Velvet, and this was how he repaid him? Holding his brother hostage in order to deplete him as well?
But just then, a new voice filled the air. And it was Branch’s.
“Let me take you to a better plaaaace,
I’m gonna make you kiss the sky tonight
Yeah if you let me show the waaay,
I’m so excited, to see you excited!
Take you to a better place (yoo hoOooOo)
And baby you can love me on the way
We’re flying up to outer spaaace,
I’m so excited, to see you excited!”
From within the cracked diamond, his voice carried on strongly, and the six Trolls were inspired.
Poppy was the first of the six to add her voice in the mix. While not an official BroZone member, she still knew the exact words of the song by heart, and sang them with much heart put into it. Viva put an arm around her and joined in…
Then JD followed in after her...
.. then Spruce...
... then Clay...
... then Floyd...
... who joined with the others harmoniously so that they were creating a heart-stopping sound... But there was still a question on their minds - would it be that perfect Family Harmony?
Velvet didn't want to wait to find out. As soon as Branch had started singing, she’d grabbed her mike and was prepared to retaliate harder than before. “Come on, Veneer! We can beat them!”
But Veneer was no longer on the same page as his sister. He was fed up. These Trolls were working so hard to save their family member, and Velvet just wanted to continue to make things difficult for them. This time, he was not going to let it slide.
“NO!” he shouted to her.
Velvet gaped at him. “What?”
“You heard me. I said NO!” Veneer said firmly. He tossed his microphone on the ground and kicked it to the side. “I’d love to be famous with you, Velvet… but not like this.” He shook his head and crossed his arms.
Velvet’s cheeks were turning crimson. “How else are we gonna be famous?!”
Veneer had an answer for that. “We just have to practice. It might take time, but that’s how it is. Fame doesn’t just come overnight. You have to work at it, and have the right people by your side.” He looked over at Floyd, who had told him those very words at one point during his capture. That it was possible for him to be a great singer without having to use Troll essence. Floyd looked proud to see that Veneer was using his advice to stand up against his sister and grinned.
"That Troll has been getting to your head!" Velvet growled.
"That 'Troll' has shown me that I do have real talent within. And that we don't have to do this!" To hammer in his point, Veneer stepped away from Velvet and stood by the Trolls’ side. “I don’t want to be a part of this scheme anymore, sis!” he cried, and then joined in singing with the Trolls.
“Let me take you to a better plaaaace,
I’m gonna make you kiss the sky tonight
Yeah if you let me show the waaay,
I’m so excited, to see you excited!
Velvet shrieked in anger. “Fine then, be that way! I always knew you were good for NOTHING!” She picked up her microphone and sang back, angry at her brother’s betrayal.
“Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something…!”
The dark magic was strong and wild, and struck against the Trolls' harmonious one, entangling it in a mess of twisted energy. It was difficult to tell which of the two sides were winning with how stunningly chaotic things became, the rays fighting and wrestling, good against bad, in a heated struggle for dominance.
But the group still kept on singing.
Poppy and Viva sang like they never did before in all of their lives. John Dory gave it all his boldness, Spruce all his heart, Clay all his spunk, Floyd all his sincerity, and Veneer all his determination.
And the doll-like sister was giving it their all too - all their spare stolen talent that is, which was rapidly being depleted.
She took no notice until Veneer's voice suddenly cracked and became pitchy at a key note in the song.
"Some of them want to use you, some of them want to be ab -ACK! UGHCK CAH!” She coughed suddenly over the unexpected interruption. In a panic, she tried again quickly, opening her mouth and willing her vocal chords to cooperate, but what came out was less than stellar. It was there that she realized that she was losing. Her gaze honed their gaze on her most precious possession.
The diamond!
She reached for it, and immediately drew back, giving a sharp cry for the sudden, electric ZAP that had erupted from Branch's enclosure. Velvet suddenly regretted not having inhaled his talent right when she had the opportunity. It was as though the Troll musical magic had created a forcefield, preventing her from even laying a finger on the diamond.
Then the most marvelous thing happened.
And that, folks, was the accomplishment of impossibly fabled perfect Family Harmony.
It was exactly as mystically glorious as the brothers remembered it, with all of the colors and light and absolutely in-sync sensation that coursed through their veins. Their magic pulsed and glowed, stronger than ever and - if one looked closely enough - it could be sworn that it formed the image of one great, big ethereal apparition of a Troll… One who, in the climactic moment of the band's union, blasted out a massive burst of pure, bright, rainbow-colored energy. The last thing Velvet saw before the force of the energy blasted her from the yacht they were on into the river below was the diamond, rippling and snapping, and then making the telltale CRRRRRAAAACKK! that indicated that it had broken completely.
Branch, also blinded by the light, had hardly realized what had happened, barely getting a sense of where he was, at least until he felt himself surrounded by Poppy, Viva, and his brothers.
“WE DID IT!” Poppy cheered, squeezing Branch in a tight hug. “WE DID IT! WE DID IT! Oh, Branch, I’m so glad you’re okay!!”
“Oh, Poppy!” he cried in relief, holding her just as tightly and never wanting to let go. He’d been fearful that he could never have her in his arms again, but that fear could now rest at ease.
His older brothers were just as pumped as the Pop Queen. “WOO-YEAH!” John Dory shouted. “She’s right – we did it, we owned it, we brought the house down! Or at least that evil diamond… WOOOO!” He made his rounds with the brothers, chest-bumping with Spruce, double-high fiving with Clay and Viva, and lovably noogy-ing Floyd.
At his feet, the diamond pieces lay scattered by Veneer. Finally, the one item that had been the cause of all the turmoil had been decimated. He felt bad for his sister Velvet, but he would’ve felt worse if he’d let her continue on with her awful plan. Hurting someone and being a big phony were not the ways to accomplish anything.
He suddenly felt a presence beside him, and looked down to find Floyd. Veneer swallowed, twiddling his thumbs and feeling incredibly guilty.
“Hey, um… no hard feelings?” he asked, kneeling down and putting his hand out to show that he meant no harm.
Veneer was lucky in the fact that Floyd was not one to hold a grudge. The magenta Troll smiled up at him and accepted his hand for a shake. “No hard feelings,” he assured.
The Trolls all breathed a sigh of relief. Things were back to the way they were supposed to be - as in, nobody being kept hostage as a talent slave! Which meant…
Branch and his brothers all exchanged glances with each other.
“Sooo… what do we do now?” John Dory asked.
Poppy shrugged. “Well, we could head back to Pop Village… I mean, that is, if you wanna go back?” 
She scanned the brothers’ faces, who seemed to be a little doubtful at her suggestion.
“Back to Pop Village?” Spruce asked.
“We haven’t been there in years…” Clay mumbled. It wasn’t even in the same place, with how they’d all learned about the relocation into the forest after King Peppy’s evacuation on that one Trollstice. One glance at Viva and he knew that she too felt the same way as he did.
“I barely remember what it even looks like!” the Putt Putt Queen admitted.
But it was a homecoming long in the making, and one that Branch - who stood silently in between Poppy and Floyd with bated breath – was hoping that they’d go for.
Luckily, his brothers’ thoughts were right on the same track.
“Sure, we’ll go!” John Dory said, speaking up for the band. “But only on one condition…”
“What is it?” Floyd asked curiously.
JD grinned slyly at his magenta-haired brother. “That none of us ever see another diamond again!”
And everybody laughed, sharing the same exact sentiments.

Entering the Private Garden
A/n: A beautiful anon reminded me how much I missed this series and inspired me to come back to it! So here we are.
Series Masterlist
Synopsis: Zoey meets Jack’s friends.
Tumblr media
“Okay so who all are you meeting today?” Jack asks, quizzing Zoey before their excursion today. He knew if he distracted her by asking questions, she’d be less nervous and freaked out about finally meeting some of his friends.
“Well Urban’s gonna be there, obviously. So that’ll be a nice buffer. He loves me.”
Jack playfully rolls his eyes and grabs his keys off the counter. “He’s the toughest critic so and you’ve already won him over so it should be easy from here.”
Zoey nods slowly, desperately trying to keep her anxiety at bay. “Um, so there’s the PG guys Quiiso, Ace Pro and Nemo. Then the white boys Copelan and Sunni.”
“Hate to break it to you Zozo but I’m also a white boy. Literally, I don’t tan. At all. It’s kind of sad actually.” He laughs softly, walking into the garage after her to get in the car.
“You are but you’re my white boy so it’s different. Although I have seen a couple pictures of Sunni and I—“
Jack covers his ears in the driver’s seat and closes his eyes. “Oh my god enough with the ‘I would definitely fuck Sunni’ jokes they’re not funny.”
He’s so cute for thinking it’s a joke, Zoey thinks to herself.
“But forreal,” Jack says as he puts the car in drive, “you don’t have to worry about anything. They’re probably going to be all over my ass because of who I am when I’m with you.”
She laughs softly putting her hand over his that was resting on her thigh. “What does that mean?”
“You’ll see.”
Jack has rented out this lounge area on the rooftop of a restaurant for the occasion and they were met with smiling faces and a little bit of yelling when the couple walked in holding hands. Zoey was welcomed with hugs as went through a different handshake with each one of his friends. Things started off light with stories from the time Jack tried to perform Fergalicious at his middle school talent show to their commercial experience for Jack’s New Balance campaign.
It was heartwarming to listen to some of his favorite people talk about the journey they’d been on together. And the idea that there was so much more to come was both exciting and overwhelming for him. But then he was reminded that he had the perfect partner in all of this. Zoey had felt him tense up next to her and placed a hand on his knee, her touch immediately allowed him to relax and get out of his head for a bit. All he could do was nod slowly when she mouthed “are you okay” because he felt as though his heart was going to burst.
Then his heart fell to his stomach when Clay and Quiiso asked Zoey if she wanted to talk, in private. He gave his brother a pleading look in hopes that he could quietly sit in on the conversation but his girlfriend assured him she’d be fine so he tried to focus on his conversation with Nemo and Urban but his mind was clearly elsewhere.
“Bro if you hold that glass any tighter you’re going to be digging for it out of your skin…in the ER. And I’m not tryna do all that today.” Nemo laughs.
Urban shook his head, taking a swig of his beer. “You seriously need to unclench your asshole, Zoey is not scared of Clay or Quiiso, so you don’t need to stress.”
“I’m not worried about his ‘intimidating brother’ tactic I’m worried about her. What if she doesn’t get along with them and y’all are an extension of my family so I need this to go well.”
The two men in front of him shared a knowing look and Nemo laughed so hard he almost spilled his drink. Urban wiped tears from his ears with a sigh, “damn. I ain’t laughed that hard in a minute.”
“Would you two care to share with the class? I wanna laugh.” Jack muttered, clearly unamused as his friends started giggling again. “What could possibly be so fucking funny right now?”
“You’re in love man. It’s all over your face. And body. It’s everywhere.” Nemo said blankly, finally containing his laughter. “It’s just funny that you can’t even see it.”
Jack opened his mouth to speak but Urban interrupted him. “If you fix your mouth to say you don’t love Zoey I’m throwing this bottle at your head.” Urban said, glaring into his best friend’s soul. “You worship the ground she walks on, you actually value her opinion and what she not only thinks of you but of all of us. I mean hell, you haven’t stopped sneaking glances over there to make sure everything is okay. So please, lie to yourself but don’t sit here and lie to us. We know you better than that.”
Meanwhile Zoey was having the time of her life. Quiiso had gone to play beer pong with Ace against Sunni and Cope so it was just her and Clay. They shared a mutual feeling of nerves meeting each other, Clay admitting that although Jack had introduced him to women before, based on their conversations he knew this time was different. And this wasn’t Zoey’s first time being introduced to a boyfriend’s friends and brother but Jack was special.
“Okay I feel like I have to ask because I’ve talked to him about this but…why him?” Clay had come into today with a plan. Most women thought they loved Jack because of what he could give them. Private flights, five star restaurants and hotels, any purse or accessory they could dream of and he needed to see where Zoey’s head was at. Just to determine if this would last because he could tell that his brother had fallen, hard.
She took a sip of her drink and took a moment to gather her thoughts, ready to speak honestly. “Well, it wasn’t him at first. I’m sure he told you about how we met and he acted exactly like I had assumed he would and I was turned off immediately. But then he apologized and we talked more and we went on a few dates and it hit me. He’s everything to me.”
“Jack sees good in everything, especially people.” She continues. “He is funny and smart and creative and thoughtful. He’s emotional but only allows some of it to show because he doesn’t want anyone to worry about him, as he’s trying to take care of everyone he’s ever met. He is driven and focused and spontaneous but not irresponsible. He’s confident and a little cocky but in a way that doesn’t make you feel bad about yourself and he’s honestly one of the greatest people I’ve ever known.”
The music producer ran his hand over his mouth, trying to hide a smile. He caught his brother’s gaze and gave Zoey a hug whispering “thank you for taking care of him.” The two walked back to the other table as the group all came together again.
A few hours later, they were back at Jack’s house. Zoey had taken off her makeup and was looking for the perfect T-shirt of her boyfriend’s to steal. She settled on a yellow “Not For Sale” shirt and biker shorts.
“Today was fun! Your friends were sweet as I expected.” She walked back into his closet where he’d changed into a black tank top and New Balance sweats. He turned around in her arms when she wrapped them around his waist and stood on her tiptoes to press her lips against his freckled shoulder. “I really did have a great time and I just really appreciate how—”
“I love you.” Jack blurts out.
Zoey felt her throat closing up. “What?” She whispered, all the air in her lungs was gone.
He pressed his body against hers even more, feeling the rapid drumming of her heartbeat. It matched his perfectly but his was out of excitement. “I said I love you. I love you Zo. So much.” Jack couldn’t help the smile that was taking over his face.
“Finally.” Zoey sighed and he gave her a confused look so she had to elaborate. “I’ve said it so many times in my head the last few months that I was really waiting for the day I’d slip up and say it out loud. Truthfully, I needed you to say it first, after I admitted my feelings the last time and you shut me down. I just don’t—I didn’t know if I could take that again. I needed to know where you were at.”
“And now I do.” She matches his smile. “I love you too, baby. More than life.”
He gave her a relieved kiss, a content sigh brushed against her tongue as one of his hands caressed her face. Zoey allowed her eyes to close, letting out a hum of pleasure, trying to memorize this moment as a sense of calm washed over her. It felt like coming home after an extended vacation and walking into your room for the first time. An immense sense of serenity and appreciation for the pillows that support your head and the warm blanket that is draped over your body. Where everything was as it should be. She was exactly where she belonged and being in his arms, kissing him forever was exactly what she intended to do with the man she could now confirm loved her as much as she loved him.

Tumblr media
i’m not about to draw a minimum of twelve entire pictures but i wanna do this anyway (i guess i could just edit the images in there but that’s lame lol)
•my favorite gym leader is probably either tulip or clay! something about tulip i just always found very endearing and respectable and i love clay’s no-nonsense attitude and sheer strength. plus he gets bonus points for his daughter being lacey
•fav champion is clearly volo. like how could you not classify that as a champion fight. that was so freaking hard man. runner up goes to kieran though bc he was also really hard for me. but of course if we’re talking official true pokémon league champions then cynthia
•fav elite four member has gotta be lacey. i adore her. first time i’ve ever lost to the same opponent multiple times in a fair fight (aka being prepared and on-level). she’s sooo cute and fun! she also terrifies me severely
•favorite protagonist is akari no surprise there. la does such a good job of making it clearly important why the protag is the protag. it offers a legitimate in-universe explanation as to why this one child in particular is so much more powerful than all the others. out of place in time and space, literally chosen by a god… the way certain characters question her humanity, both in a good and evil way… it’s so good
•favorite rival… well pokémon fans use the term rival really loosely. it can mean any friend character that you battle for funsies even once. it can mean literal arch nemesis. idk. arven stole my heart with his story but i don’t consider him a rival like most people do so that goes to cheren. i love his story and he has also mopped the floor with me several times
•favorite antagonist is also volo next question. i’m sick in the head about him. n is a strong and clear second place obviously though. i’ve done enough rambling on here about them
•professor laventon is the guy ever he feels like he actually personally cares about akari so much. that’s her dad. the way he’s actively involved in plot stuff, he accompanies the team on field missions even when he really doesn’t need to… he’s always there. you see him a lot. and he’s clearly writing the pokédex entries himself and they’re absolute gold. but seeing as professor is also a broad term because they’ve been really breaking up the older tradition in recent games, i nominate director clavell as second place bc i respect the guy a lot. that old man (tm) enjoyer here
•fav battle facility leader… well. i don’t really have one bc i’ve done very little with the battle facilities in the two games i’ve played that had them lol. so i guess throwaway answer is ingo but mostly for pla reasons. actually i think he counts as a battle facility leader in pla with the daybreak update and i’ve done some of his stuff so he does in fact count for me
•for fav clan member i’m gonna say arezu i like her a lot. she tried doing the right thing in a very chaotic way and i respect her for her efforts. plus her design is cute and she gives great haircuts and her noble is adorable
•character from other media… well i’m obsessed with the way n is portrayed in pokespe. perfect blend between sad prettyboy and freak behavior. they just made everything so intense. and i love oshawott from poképark 2 with the way he’s trying so hard to be serious and cool but snivy keeps getting on his nerves lol. that’s the reason i chose oshawott in pla bc that was the only of those pokémon i recognized
•i’m classifying arven as miscellaneous bc like i said i don’t consider him a rival but MAN!! man… this guy just got shortchanged so many times but i’m glad he was able to get closure for his parents’ disappearance and death and that he can move on and just live his own life. also certified dog lover moment
•top fav character… yeah you all know it’s volo LOL. completely shrimp fried my brain. the absolute hyperactive high i was on when he revealed himself. made even more insane bc i had literally been spoiled that he was a twist villain but i had no other context so i was just waiting the whole game for him to be evil. imagine the sinking in my gut when the credits rolled and it didn’t happen i thought i’d been embarrassing myself the whole time but then the postgame punched me in the gut HARD. i thought he’d end up being like the sad sympathetic frenemy guy where you don’t really want to fight him but NOPE full on evil full on he was just using you. made even better by the context that he had been your biggest fan throughout the whole game while everyone else had been suspicious of you. i lost my entire mind. once again second place to n though

Miu iruma, junko enoshima, or Kaede Akamatsu .
Which one is the most fitting of the "ultimate bimbo" according to makoto ?
Thank you @cowedeacumootsu for both the ask and the images! Love Love <3
"Ah well, I think it depends on what you're looking for in a bimbo, right? For example, Junko's got the style down pat."
Tumblr media
"The make-up, the clothes, the hair, she's not the Ultimate Fashionista for nothing. I know she's always wearing that thick lipstick just to leave rings around my cock. But that's also a big flaw of hers for some people I would think. Very much a free thinker, forward planner, and go-getter kinda girl. Can't say I don't see the good in that myself, but some people think a good bimbo should be an obedient one, and I can understand that too.
Can't count the number of times my plans were waylaid because Junko ambushed me in a hallway, or was waiting for me in my dorm room.
If you prefer your bimbos more docile, then you'd probably prefer Miu."
Tumblr media
"That girl won't be trying anything, and if she does, she'll fold if you so much as raise your voice at her. Manhandle her for a bit, and she'll melt. Give her a good spanking, and you'll have a love-struck slave on your hands for the next few hours.
I learned how to handle her the hard way if you will. Miu was a tease and a bitch when I first met her, or she was acting like one at least. She kept pushing me and pushing me, until I finally gave her what she was asking for.
A few hours later, Miu had learned that teasing me meant me being horny and that I wouldn't hesitate to put the slut in her place to satisfy myself.
That doesn't mean she doesn't still try, but we both know she's simply trying to rile me up to fuck her. And if I don't feel like it, or am busy with another slut, simply telling her to 'go masturbate in a corner' will have the blonde scampering to obey me.
But another issue that both those girls have is that I think they fail to be bimbos on a more base level. Oh, they might look and act like bimbos, but they don't think like one.
Both Junko and Miu are Ultimates. They may act like bimbos, or dress like one, but they will always be their Ultimate before anything else.
That’s probably why I would personally say Kaede’s the best bimbo.
When Kaede first entered this school, she was scouted as the Ultimate Pianist. She was known pretty widely as the Piano Freak, a girl who would regularly play until she passed out, either from lack of sleep, or hydration.
But the moment I saw her, I saw something special
With her determined attitude, her single-minded passion, and the way her tits strained against her sweater, I saw a girl who wasn’t operating at her full potential. And as her Senpai, I decided I had to help her out. Give her proper guidance, if you will.
A few hours later, Kaede was drowning in my cum, and her brain was like wet clay, ready to learn at my feet.
Later that same day, Kaede was walking into the headmaster’s office, begging him to let her change her talent to train and become the Ultimate Bimbo.
It’s been a few months now, and I’m pretty sure Kaede couldn’t care less about piano, unless you were talking about fucking her atop one. The only thing she cares about nowadays is cock and cum and sex. She’s been making good use of Hope’s Peak’s facilities to train both her body and mind to become a proper sex toy every day since we first met.
And, well, the results speak for themselves, don’t they?"
Tumblr media
"Like I said, the girl’s driven. She knows what she wants, and she wants to do it until she physically cannot anymore.
Problem is, not just anyone can handle the new Ultimate Bimbo. Once, she invited her whole class, boys and girls, to an orgy, where she fucked all of them into the ground. Thankfully, the Ultimate Nurse was on site, or Hope’s Peak might’ve been in trouble with all the broken pelvises and dehydrated students.
Even luckier, I was close by to fuck the cow into unconsciousness before she could attack the nurse.
Though the experience did nothing to slow down Kaede’s training. If nothing else, the school was even more invested in seeing just how far she could push herself, and, well, now they also had a boy to keep her in check.
Can’t say if I really deserved the title of Ultimate Stud after that incident, but most everyone agreed, so I didn’t try and resist when they gave it to me. I think it’s mostly honorific until I actually begin making use of the training Hope’s Peak has offered me, though I don’t see much of a reason to do so.
I also didn’t protest when they moved Kaede to my room, for me to fuck into a babbling mess every night, lest she sneak into some unsuspecting victims’ room for the night.
And I can’t deny that Kaede deserves to be called the Ultimate Bimbo either. Usually, I have to go through two, maybe three, sometimes four girls before calming down enough to put my pants back on, but Kaede isn’t afraid to match me thrust for thrust.
By the time I fuck her to exhaustion, I’m feeling pretty winded myself. Not ‘tired’, of course, but still. Enough that some of the other girls are starting to feel backed up themselves now that I no longer need to go through half the student body every week.
All of them, Kaede included, whenever she’s coherent enough to speak actual words, have been asking me to go through the Ultimate Stud training Hope’s Peak is looking into. I haven’t been too interested, to be honest; I’m fine as I am, and while sex is fun, and great exercise, my libido is more of an issue than anything else.
But, I can’t deny that I might have to. After destroying all the girls of Hope’s Peak, it wouldn’t do to not take responsibility, and train until I could actually satisfy them all, even as Kaede’s own training allows her to keep going for longer and longer.
Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think it’s a good idea; I need to make sure I can both satisfy the Ultimate Bimbo and all the other Ultimate sluts that are begging for my cock.
And, well, Ultimate Stud is probably better than Ultimate Lucky Student, right? Can’t deny that the benefits are a lot better, at least."

I headcanon that because of Asahi’s anxiety he’ll sometimes host or be invited to self-care nights with the other third years (Daichi, Suga, and sometimes Kiyoko), because as much as they tease, they do adore their gentle giant. One time they did a mini at-home spa night, but they’re all a little too ticklish so various activities ended with them giggling. They wouldn’t have it any other way.
This is so dang soft oh my freaking HEART!!! Also you know what's super underrated? Cheek tickles- more specifically when you get those bubble clay masks and they get all tingly? That was the inspiration for this one :D I hope you like it!
“Hold still, Asahi.”
“I’m tr-hhihihihiihing!” He giggled, scrunching up as Kiyoko smeared the cold face cream across his cheeks. “It tiihihihickles!”
Things have been less than stellar for Karasuno’s gentle giant as of late. Midterms were arriving soon, as was an away game for the team and various other little things. For the most part, he had it handled; his grades were fine and he wasn’t having trouble with time management.
Unfortunately neither of those things did anything for his anxiety. Hence he was here now- tucked away against the edge of his bed among his fellow third years in an impromptu “Spa night”. Right now, Daichi was lying on his back, face covered in similar cream and hair pushed back with one of those cat ear towel bands. Suga was across the room, freshly painted toenails aimed at the small fan to help them dry faster.
“I never knew someone with such ticklish cheeks.” He mused from his spot, smiling around a chip. “Is it really that bad?”
“Ihiihihit’s! *snort* It’s buhuhuhubbly!” Asahi tried describing it, giggling more as Kiyoko dabbed along his brow. “Hohohohw much is ohohohon thehehhehere?”
“Not that much. Hang on, I’m almost done.” A hint of laughter was in her voice as she finished up his face mask, sitting back to check her handiwork. “A bit messy, but I think it came out alright. Now- don’t move your face too much.”
“M-Mhmhmhmhmm!” Asahi nodded, pressing his lips together as the face mask bubbled and tingled. It smelled nice at least- something floral. He wondered if the scent would linger.
“Aww, does it tickle, Asahi?” Daichi cooed from behind, fingers finding Asahi’s neck and making him scrunch. “Does the face mask tickle? Does it?”
“Ahehehe! D-Dahahhaichi, plehahhhase!” Asahi scrunched, unable to fight down the giggles as his neck was squeezed. Around him, he could hear kiyoko scolding them gently through her laughter “Careful- it’ll stain his clothes!” While Suga was in his own fit of giggles, most likely from his own mask application.
It was silly and dumb and- much to Asahi’s mild dismay checking his shirt the next morning- messy.
He wouldn’t have it any other way.
Send me a headcanon and character(s) and I'll write a short 300-500 word dabble for it!

you, among the art ii
word count: 792 genre/theme: fluff and angst later, sculpting series, graduate student and her professor/supervisor, female and male pairing as always, imagine whoever you would like... find part iii here sweethartlullaby ꕤ masterlist
Tumblr media
It’s her first day. 
He spent about thirty minutes trying to pick out the perfect shirt this morning. Ever since the last end-of-year meeting, he has been very conscious of his fashion choices. 
You’re already on such thin ice; try not to look like you hate it here.
He’s wearing a white shirt today, one his mother bought for him when he went home this summer. As fall approaches, he lets himself breathe. The air gently floats into the room, wrapping him with comfort. With the windows open, he leaves the cardigan hugging the chair. 
He has been creating sketches in his notebook, finding things to fix even though he doesn’t need to. He can’t let himself sit idle. He has to stop himself from checking the time. With every tick of the wall clock, he grows even more nervous. He’s also a man of tea so the unusual cup of coffee today has his fingers shaking and his heart beating in his ears. 
One minute before the scheduled time, he hears a knock on his door. He turns to see her head poking inside, searching the room until her eyes finally fall on him. All of a sudden, he feels so small. 
“Oh, hello.” She says and smiles a little before she lets herself in. Her hair is in a low ponytail, and her light blue shirt sleeves are up to her elbows. Her dark pants almost hide the smudges of clay, but not well enough to his trained eye. 
He studies her for a moment too long before he realizes he is supposed to speak. 
“Uhm, hello.” He says. She stays by the door and all he can think about is that she is going to make a run for it any second now.
“Well,” She squeaks out before she clears her throat.
“Sorry, I’m not usually this nervous.”
“Do I scare you?” He says, half-joking. 
“Oh, gosh no!” She finally steps closer to him. 
“If I’m so scared of you, I wouldn’t be here.” She explains as she looks at his desk, a clutter of paper and ink. 
“Are these your upcoming projects?” She asks, keeping her hands behind her back. He hesitates. How does he tell her he was such a nervous wreck that he took it out on his sketchbook? When he takes too long to answer, she speaks.
“Oh, sorry I didn’t mean to pry. I just-”
“They’re just ideas.” He says and he fights the urge to cringe at the way he says it. It’s always been a bad habit. The nerves make him cold and uninterested. It is probably why he barely speaks to anyone at gatherings.
“Oh.” She steps away from the table as if she crossed the line.
The coffee isn’t helping. He’s too freaked out to think of what to say. Should he apologize? Should he tell her it’s okay? He stands frozen, his tongue trying to push the words out. It takes him another two minutes of silence before he finally blurts out letters that he hopes form into words.
“Why not…I mean, why don’t you tell me about your…project?” He takes his cup into his hands to hide their trembling before he leans onto the window frame and watches her. 
“Right! So, as you know…” She gets closer again and uses her hands to explain her vision. He doesn’t ask a lot. She seems to know what she’s doing. She knows what she wants. Her vision is tremendous and creative and he can’t help but watch in awe as passion pours out of her.
It’s in the way she speaks about her work. It’s in the way she moves as she describes it. It’s almost as if he can see exactly what she means. 
“I understand that the final project may not even be tied to Black Swan but that’s actually what I am going for. I want even more fear and anguish than was shown. I want to capture so much in just one statue. It’s…” She exhales before she finally looks at him again. 
“It’s a lot, I know. But…I’m excited.” The corners of her lips turn up into a small smile. It’s refreshing, to see someone so in love in this field again. It almost reminds him of why he is here in the first place. 
“I think…it’s going to be amazing.” He says slowly. He’s never been the greatest with words, but that’s why he’s a sculptor. There’s much more for him to show than to say.
“I really look forward to working with you.” He brings his hand out and when she doesn’t take it immediately, he almost pulls it back. But then she grips him and gives him a firm shake.
“Me too.”
a/n: hellooo!! this is part two of the sculpting series. i'm soooo sorry if it sounds so choppy i honestly dk whats wrong with me. but i will try write better for the next parts!! i'm uploading a part iii right after this one since this is a bit short. i hope you enjoyed and i'd love to hear what you guys thought about it (pls be nice), who you imagined, and any songs that came into mind!

Where Stranger Things characters would actually live in Indiana.
If you’re actually from Indiana, this will make sense to you. I live within 40 minutes of where Hawkins supposedly is and these are my hot takes. 
Tumblr media
Hopper: It was mentioned that he was originally from “the big city” and honestly, I think it would be Fort Wayne. Lots of factories there and he just fits, I have no specific reasons. He would definitely avoid the north end, it would be too “metro” for him. 
Murray: South Bend. There is a specific demographic there and that’s where the conspiracy theories would reside. 
The Byers: South side Muncie. Will would be enamored with the children’s museum and there are loads of pretty sceneries for Jon to snap pictures of. Joyce would have her selection of small mom-n-pop shops to work at. 
The Wheelers: Bloomington. Higher class, college town. Nancy and Mike would have all the opportunities they could dream of in this hellscape of a state. 
Steve: Carmel. It’s ritzy and pretty centralized in the state. And holy shit it’s SO NICE but it’s round-about hell. There are no stoplights or stop signs, just round-abouts. I avoid it at all costs, but the Clay Terrace is fun to walk around and shop at. 
Robin: Northern Greenfield. It’s a suburb of Indy, but there’s a little part of the town that’s lower-middle class. Even though the houses are only 45k, they’re pretty decent.
El: Logansport. If you expect something “off” to go on in Indiana, it’ll be in freaking Logansport. When you’re not smelling the awful odors from Tyson’s factory, you get the interesting stories from the state hospital. I think she would be in the more rural part of town, but there are specific spots in the downtown I could picture her in. 
Dustin: Wabash. I know many people from this town and honestly, all the kids have talent. It’s smaller, but it has a Wal-Mart, and there is a great farmer’s market and music/theatre scene. 
The Munsons: Converse. It’s a really small town, but there are really neat places to visit (see Jefferson Street BBQ). But given the reasons above for Dustin, they could easily live there too. 
The Sinclairs: Southern Kokomo. Not the biggest town, not the smallest. It’s quite diverse. And the houses on this side of town are pretty nice! There are pretty ponds and an amazing Japanese steakhouse. HOWEVER!!! Please avoid the north-east end because it’s fucking scary. Every time I’m on that end of town, it’s guaranteed to result in hearing at least one set of “pop-pop-pops”. Give me a Demogorgon any day. 
The Hargrove-Mayfields: This would have been Neil’s plan to move. And what we know about Neil, he’s not a nice or accepting person in any capacity. Elwood, for sure. I’ve had dear friends run out of these because a specific “clan” of people reside there. However, once Billy and Max are old enough to leave, they head for Lafayette. It’s not California, but it’s a nice enough, big enough place to be. 
Bob Newby: He’s so quaint and pleasant, he would be from Jasper. There’s a nice train ride you can do on the weekends during the fall and I can picture him being one of the tour guides on it.

More Spider-Man AU Stuff
Johnny became Spider-Man or Skate-Spider on a school field trip when he was young, but went for a long while without taking up the title. He only did eventually because he realised he could help people in a way he couldn't before and save them like he couldn't save his mum. She died while he was young due to an illness but he still blamed himself and saw being Spider-Man as a coping mechanism at first.
The singing competition was essentially the same but without the gang plotline and the characters being much younger. They all became friends afterwards like the do out of AU but have spent 3-ish years together at this point. Buster also adopted Ash then as well.
Jimmy runs a newspaper as well as a ton of other entertainment things and they do all hate Spider-Man.
Instead of Spider-Man losing a police captain or his uncle, he has to be the one to sever his ties with his uncles and dad. In this AU he never knew about the gang and caught them in a robbery. Johnny tried to talk them out of it, even revealing his identity, but couldn't and in the end arrested them. Aka a much more angsty disownment arc.
Nooshy was adopted by Marcus around two years before the start of this AU when he found them camping out behind the garage. She lives in her own apartment now but acts as Johnny's “person in the chair” after helping him come up with the Skate-Spider persona in the first place.
Rosita is still Johnny's foster mum and finds out he's Spider-Man when he returns from patrol too hurt to hide said fact. She immediately started covering for him and helping him improve his gadgets as a way to make sure he's safe.
Several newspapers are running rewards for who can tell them who Spider-Man is and the troupe are all competing together. Johnny is actually pretty scared they might find out who he is because they've gotten close before.
In the timeline, the singing competition in Sing 1 is replaced by just a regular show as it focuses more of Johnny being Skate-Spider and his relationships. The Redshore trip does still happen according to the timeline with the same plot points however, just with Spider-Man stuff thrown in.
Johnny has a different skateboard that he carries on patrol so his dad doesn't recognize it and he takes all the pins of his jacket before patrol as well (also his jacket has pins in this AU). When not skating on patrol, the skateboard is hung around his shoulders with a strand of webbing.
Ryan is actually introduced a bit before the Redshore trip as an English student who Johnny saves as Spider-Man. During the Redshore trip however, it's revealed that Ryan, as well as being a dancer, is in school an is doing a paper on modern heroism and wants to talk with Skate-Spider about what that's like as a hero vs as a civilian. Johnny is constantly scared he's going to figure his identity out.
Clay figures out Spider-Man’s identity after like 12 seconds but keep his identity a secret. He says this is due to him having a stage persona when he was younger so he recognized the two's similarities (Johnny and Skate-Spider).
Ryan does figure out Johnny's identity after a while and drops it in while they are hanging out after practice, promising to keep it a secret.
The troupe as a whole finds out Skate-Spider's identity during the big show down with the big bad and promptly freak out that their friend is likely hurt.
The disownment reconciliation scene wouldn't be at a theatre performance in this. It happens during a fight with a villain when part of the jail is destroyed, causing Johnny to panic about his family's safety. He runs into his dad and the two talk it out then.
Calatonia will be New Calatonia instead but Redshore stays the same.
Quote:
“No, you raised me to do the right thing. Why can’t you see that’s what I’m doing?”
“And you're willing to do that even if it means turning your back on your family? By betraying us?”
“If that’s what it takes, then yes.”
“Johnathan, don’t you dare-“
“I'm sorry dad.”

Gotta ask, since I’m assuming Branch’s hair would not be healed by the time Brozone gets back together, how would the bros react to what happened to him? I already imagine “You’re half of me now” Poppy is more protective over Branch than canon Poppy, so I can see the bros being horrified at the state of their baby brother’s trauma.
I hadn’t actually thought much beyond the first movie, but you’ve opened floodgates and now I can’t stop thinking about it. I imagine by band together his hair would have healed but still been fairly short and choppy (Branch wouldn’t let anyone near it with a sharp object for a long while) JD would probably miss this entirely cononcially he steamrolls most of Branch’s conversations with him so I doubt he’d give much thought to hair changes. Maybe even the others too as they’ve all got drastically different hairstyle to what they had as kids, and Branch wouldn’t be telling them shit. But I do think Branch’s trauma over the trollstice events would linger more obviously and between his weird caution around his hair and nerves around the larger species like the islanders and ofc the rageons being more prominent they’d pick up on something having happened with it in the past, just not exactly what. Same as him being grey ig, there’s hints and stories but he’s not going to tell them outright.
Oh the wonderful angst opportunities of Bruce working in a restaurant with his wife and other big folk would be very fun to explore. And ofc I adore protective Poppy, and I imagine her more protective side coming out more against the brothers, they are in for a long long talk.
I also like to think post band together Clay and Branch could potentially bond over hair damage, as there’s no way the putt putt’s have healthy hair that’s some serious frizz.
as for reactions when they do find out:
Clay would be horrified but probably to least likely to react drastically, considering he’s lived with putt putt and feared the worst of Bergens for years. JD brimming with guilt, this guy is an untapped vat of it. He’s probably had some hair accidents on the trail and knows the pain it must have been, combined with the whole kidnapped and betrayed thing yeah he’s feeling that big brother failure right in the guts.
Not sure about Floyd , but probably something similiar. Lots of hugs and offers to talk and listen, none of which I think branch would take up but he appreciates the gesture.
Bruce would probably freak out, dad mode overprotection. Eventually he’s chill out but not until he’s stocked and read up on every medical and healing text he can, and offered up any and all things he can think of that would help Branch’s hair grow back healthy and the same as before it was chopped.
anyways I hope this somewhat answers your ask, I got a bit rambly over it at the end!

“Hi!! My name’s Lunar! I’m a Daycare Attendant in the Pizzaplex with my brothers, Sun and Moon. Uhh... I decided to try makin’ an account here, ‘cause it seems fun. So yeah! Ask me stuff, or something.”
(Alright, let’s freaking do this)
--RULES--
Be nice, please. This feels like a given, but I haven’t really done this before, so advice and patience would be greatly appreciated. Also, please don’t get mad if you feel like I didn’t characterize Lunar correctly or something. While I will try to keep it mostly the same as the original, this is still MY interpretation of Lunar, which WILL include my personal headcanons and ideas about Lunar, which should be made obvious by the above image.
Keep all interactions SFW, as the Mun is a minor. Very basic questions, like if Lunar knows “where babies come from” or if they know what sex is are ok, but that’s it.
Shipping is allowed, with other characters or OCs, as well as multiple at the same time, just not with any of the other DCAs that show up in SAMS (Sun, Moon, Eclipse, Bloodmoon), as Lunar considers them his brothers. Other fan-made DCAs should be fine, as long as it’s different enough to be considered a separate character and not just an alternate version of one of the aforementioned DCAs and they don’t have a sibling relationship with any of the aforementioned DCAs. If you want to have a ship-based interaction with Lunar, please communicate that as clearly as possible with me, otherwise all interactions will be interpreted as purely platonic (except for Roxanne. UNLESS communicated to be intentionally Roxanne x Lunar OR intentionally NOT Roxanne x Lunar, Lunar will be portrayed with a CRUSH on Roxanne, but other than that, having a platonic relationship with her.)
DNI anti-LGBTQ, aroace exclusionists, pro-shippers, pedos/pedo supportive, incest supportive, and NSFW accounts.
Other rules will be set if there is a problem (I highly doubt that there will be, but I jus’ wanna be safe-)
--About Mun and Muse--
Muse
Lunar
Ageless, 08/11
Male, He/They/It
Pansexual
ND
ESFP-T
Likes to create things. Drawings, game mods, clay models, plushies, etc... They’ll try their hand at anything he can get the stuff for!
Favorite colors are pastel blues and light greys.
Sometimes forgets color exist. Yes, I just stated their favorite colors, but like- There's a setting he found when moving bodies that can just completely disable his ability to see colors, or even just specific colors, that it likes to mess with a lot, especially when they're feeling overstimulated or overwhelmed. But they forget to turn it back on sometimes-
Has been registered in the Pizzaplex’s database as an official daycare-based animatronic. They saw an opportunity for more unpaid help for their dwindling daycare and decided to let Lunar continue to help, after an observation of Lunar helping Sun with the kids during business hours.
Usually wears a short, blue dress with bloomers (to make it poofy) and a ribbon wrapped around his waist with a crescent moon on it, a big white hood with the same shape at the bottom, and a third crescent on his forehead, held there with the help of some string.
Lunar still shares a body with Moon, but they made an agreement that Lunar can change his outfit if they know it’s going to be out for more than a few hours, and vice-versa.
Mun
Rook (@rook2ii)
Minor, 08/08
Genderfluid, She/They
Omnisexual
ND (Diagnosed ADHD and likely anxiety)
INTP-T
(OOC stuff will be in parenthesis AND italics, like this! Just so that other things written in parenthesis or italics aren’t confused for OOC, which they probably wouldn’t anyway-)
Favorite colors are purple and orange, with yellow as a close 3rd.
Likes to draw and write, usually making sketches, pixel art, character designs, short stories, songs, poems or origami. Usually creates while in a school environment, as lots of emotions seem to come from there, which is an excellent source or creativity and inspiration. Can and does draw digitally on occasion, but my tablet (not drawing tablet) kinda sucks-
Likes learning languages. Isn’t fluent in any besides English as of yet though. Currently trying to learn Spanish, German, and ASL.
Way too many personas, most of which aren’t even used very much. (Only 4 or 5 of them are used consistently)

Y/n’s Pov:
Aslan and Oarmia walk out and stand in front of us. I squeeze Peter’s hand and he squeezes back. I give him a light smile and he does the same.
“Thank you, young one. I will have you come get them when we are done here,” Aslan says as he turns to Oarmia and gives her a bow of his head.
“Of course. You’re welcome, your majesty,” Oarmia says as she bows back to the lion before walking off.
“Come, you two. We have much to discuss with such little time to do so,” Aslan says before walking back into his tent.
“First things first. Ask away. We’ll deal with questions first,” Aslan says as he looks at both of us.
I look at Peter, biting at my lip, and he squeezes my hand again. I take a moment to make sure my question is exactly what I want to ask before looking back to the magnificent lion.
“What are the dreams?” I ask, and Aslan nods with closed eyes.
“Those are future memories. They are moments from when you will sit on the high northern thrones of Cair Paravel. Much like I gave you your tattoos, the dreams were to help you figure things out,” Aslan says and I look at Peter in shock, but he doesn’t seem phased at all.
“So you chose us to be together?” I question and Aslan is quick to shake his head.
“No, dear one. As I told Peter when we had our last conversation, I only helped what destiny already wanted. The only thing I did was make sure that you two knew that,” Aslan explains. When he sees my confusion, he continues on.
“The tattoo and dreams were to show you that you were broken from the same clay. I helped what destiny wanted because it was always meant to be. Chosen from the beginning of time, you two were always meant to be, known as High king and queen of the North together as long as you shall live,” Aslan says and I nod as I feel Peter squeeze my hand again.
“With or without my help, you two would have ended up together. All I did was help fate move a little faster, because for this fight we will need the King and Queen of the North to be the mighty leaders of Narnia. Edmund may be wise, but he must learn to be wise first. You two will be the ones to rally everyone together to make honorable decisions together,” Aslan continues and I take a moment to think it over.
“You, dear one, are meant to be Peter’s voice of reason when he is lost. I am sure you already have been along your journey,” Aslan says and Peter nods.
“She always has been…” Peter says in a tone of finality.
“As she was meant to be… and Peter will be the same for you,” Aslan says, motioning to me with his head.
I look at Peter and he seems to be in a trance as he processes everything. I can practically see the wheels in his head turning so fast that even he can’t stop it. So I squeeze his hand again and that seems to calm his mind, making him snap out of it.
“So only the tattoos and memories were you? So destiny chose us?” I ask as I turn back to Aslan, who nods in confirmation.
“And these dreams… they’ll come to pass?” I ask again, making Aslan nod.
“Well, about that…” Peter says as he rubs at the back of his neck.
“What?” I ask as I turn to look directly at him now.
“Mine’s already come to pass…” he says and it dawns on me.
“Me in the river…” I say and he nods solemnly.
“That’s why I was scared you weren’t going to make it… because the dream ended with me pulling you out of the water…” he says sheepishly and I shake my head before pulling him into a hug.
“Well, I’m ok now. So no more freaking out,” I say and he nods as he hugs me. When we let go, I keep his hand in mine as I turn to Aslan once again.
“One more question…” I say in a pensive tone.
“Ask away, dear one,” Aslan says with a nod and I bite my lip.
“I’ve never told anyone this… not even you, Pete…” I say and Peter’s eyebrows scrunch together as he looks at me.
“In the dream that I've had, there’s a little girl or boy… I can’t ever fully make it out. But they're sitting next to me, crying. I could never make out their face, so I’m not really sure who it is…” I say and Aslan shakes his head.
“That I cannot tell you. It must come to pass. If I were to tell you, it could change things. I’ve already given you as much as I can,” Aslan says and I nod.
“Alright. I think that covered it all. I had a plan of what to tell you if you didn’t ask much, but it seems you both knew just what to ask,” Aslan says and I smile at him.
“Oarmia, young one. You can take them for their food now. They’ll need their strength,” Aslan says and Oarmia walks in.
“Of course, your majesty,” she says as she bows to Aslan before turning to us.
“Right this way, your highnesses,” she says as she motions with her hand behind her.
I smile at her before turning to Aslan and giving him a light bow. He gives one back with his head and Peter bows to him next. Aslan returns Peter’s bow, then we start to follow Oarmia.
“Lead the way Oarmia,” I say and she nods, then starts off in the direction we need to go. We walk though the little town they have made and a big field. As we enter the field, we see Susan, Lucy and Edmund sitting on the floor next to a quaint little table.
“Thank you, Oarmia,” I say and she gives me a bow.
“Yes. Thank you, Oarmia,” Peter says and she smiles as she bows to him.
“Enjoy your food, your highnesses,” she says and we give her a nod before she walks away.
“Well, shall we eat?” Peter says as he holds a hand out to me and I giggle as I take it.
“I think we shall,” I say as he grins back before pulling me along with him over to his brother and sisters.
“Y/n, look at all this food! It looks positively amazing, doesn’t it?” Lucy says as I sit down across from her next to Susan.
“That it does, Lu! My mouth is just watering looking at it,” I say and Lucy giggles as Peter shakes his head before we all start to eat.
~Time skip~
Peter’s Pov:
“Narnia’s not going to run out of toast, Ed,” Lucy jokes and he gives her a smile and a small chuckle as he only continues to eat.
Y/n giggles from where she sits, making me smile as I’m standing just watching the people I love. I take a drink from the goblet I’m holding just as y/n looks up to me. Her expression then changes as if she’s trying to figure something out.
“What’s going on in that blond head of yours, Pete?” she asks with an amused smile on her face, but I can tell she’s more worried then she lets on.
“Just that I’m sure they’ll pack something up for the journey back…” I say and y/n’s face falls as Susan perks up.
“We’re going home?” Susan asks with surprise and I can practically see the gears turning in y/n’s head.
“You are,” I say, pushing myself off the rock I was leaning on. “I promised mum I’d keep you safe,” I add as I walk over and sit back down by y/n.
“But it doesn’t mean I can’t stay behind and help,” I say with a shrug and y/n scoffs.
“But they need us,” Lucy says in a concerned tone and silence settles over us for a moment.
“All five of us,” Lucy states as we all share looks.
“Lucy, it's too dangerous,” I say and y/n shakes her head, making me want reach over to grab her hand, but I don’t as I continue to explain my thoughts.
“You almost drowned! Edmund was almost killed! And y/n almost died!” I remind them.
“Which is why we have to stay…” Edmund says in a soft tone after a moment of silence and I look at him. “I’ve seen what the white witch can do… and I’ve helped her do it,” he says and looks away from me, almost in shame.
“We can’t leave these people behind to suffer for it,” Edmund now says in a determined tone as he looks back at me.
My heart swells with pride at my little brother's will and determination. I look over to see y/n, who refuses to look at me with crossed arms. I look back at Edmund, and Lucy rubs his hand with a smile of understanding. Susan’s face falls for a moment as she thinks something over.
“I suppose that’s it, then,” Susan says as she starts to get up.
“Where are you going?” I ask as she walks away from us.
“To get in some practice,” she says with a smile as she turns around to us after bending down to pick up her bow and arrows.
“Come on, y/n. You can practice with your new escrima sticks staff,” Lucy says as she grins and jumps up to follow Susan.
“I’ll be there soon, Lu,” y/n says and Lucy nods before running after Susan once more.
“I’m uh… going to go practice too,” Edmund says as he stands and leaves as well.
“Talk to her…” he whispers in my ear before fully disappearing and I sigh.

It’s quiet for a while as she just finishes off her food before going to get up. I reach out and grab her hand, making her stop. She turns to me and I let go of her hand as she crosses her arms while giving me an annoyed look.
“What, Peter? What do you want?” she asks and I take a deep breath.
“Look, I know you're mad at me, but please just hear me out?” I say and she scoffs, rolling her eyes.
“Fine, you have exactly five minutes to explain to me why you decided that we weren’t strong enough to stay,” she says and I shake my head in sorrow.
“It’s not that-” I start to say but she cuts me off.
“Oh bloody hell, Pete! That’s exactly what it was!” she says and I sigh.
“No it wasn’t-” I say again and she shakes her head.
“Trust me, Pete. I know very well that’s what it was and after I told you I wanted to stay, that I felt the need to-” she says but now it’s my turn to cut her off.
“You almost died! Do you not get that?! I could have lost you, I could have lost Lucy! And I could have lost Edmund! After I bloody well promised mum I’d take care of you all!” I say before coming to a stop with my chest heaving as she stares at me in shock for a moment.
“Oh, Peter…” she says with a hand over her mouth before letting it drop.
“I’m so sorry. I just immediately jumped back to when we were fourteen…” she says quietly and I nod.
“I just… I always hated that you’d always put yourself in danger without a care about what it would do to me… and to your family…” she says and again I nod before slowly reaching over to her.
I look at her to sense if it’s ok to touch her and she shakes her head almost in disbelief before grabbing my hands. I gently pull her over to me and set her in my lap.
“I know. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t bear the thought of losing you or any of them…” I say and she wraps her arms around my neck.
“I know, Pete, but don’t you ever think that maybe it’s the same way for us?” she asks and I give her a confused look.
“What do you mean, the same for you?” I ask and she giggles lightly before kissing my cheek.
“Pete, I mean that if you can’t bear the thought of losing us… then the same goes for you. We all couldn’t bear the thought of losing you either,” she says and I look at her in shock.
“But I don’t matter as much as all of you do,” I say, shaking my head and she sighs.
“Petey… Petey look at me…” she says as she puts her hands on my cheeks and gently guides my face to look at her.
“To me you are everything… to your mum you are everything. Bloody hell, have you not seen the way both Lucy and Edmund look up to you? And don’t even get me started on Susan…” she says and I smile at her, shaking my head.
“I love you, you know that?” I ask her and she giggles.
“Of course I do. You tell me any chance you get,” she says and I shake my head.
“No. I mean I really love you,” I say and she gasps like she finally understands.
“You’re just saying that because we’re soulmates,” she says with tears in her eyes and I quickly shake my head.
“I promise you I am not. I mean, maybe it’s helpful now that I know about it, but somewhere deep inside I’ve always loved you. I was just always too much of a git to tell you,” I say as I stare her right in the eyes and she shakes her head with tears falling now.
“Don’t worry, you weren’t the only git. I was one too, I never wanted to tell you in fear of ruining what we already had, but I have always loved you too,” she says, shaking her head.
“Don’t be so shocked Petey, because no matter how much you don’t believe it, it’s true. I really do love you,” she says with a smile before lifting her hands to hold my face in her hands.
“Awe, Pete. Why are you crying, love?” she asks and I shake my head before she wipes at my tears.
“Same reason as you, hun…” I say before shaking my head again.
“I just never thought I’d ever hear those words out of your mouth,” I say and she giggles as tears fall from her eyes.
“Pete. I say them all the time,” she says and I let out a puff of air before chuckling.
“You know what I meant. I never thought I’d hear them as romantic words. Of course I knew you loved me, but…” I say and she cuts me off as she rubs at my face with more of her own tears starting to fall.
“Oh, Pete. I understand I do, but my words have always always been romantic with you,” she says as I smile and reach up to wipe under her eyes with my thumbs as I gently cradle her face.
“Well, I didn’t know that!” I say and she lets out a giggle, making me smile even more.
“Mine have always been romantic for you too, love. Remember when you were being asked out by Lukas P that year?” I say and she nods before giggling some more.
“Of course I remember. He was the first boy that actually asked me out and you almost beat him when he would not take no for an answer. The look on your face was practically murderous!” she says, laughing and I chuckle.
“Well, can you blame me! He wouldn’t leave you alone,” I say and she laughs some more.
“Didn’t mean you needed to almost kill him. I’m sure if looks could kill, he’d be dead,” she says and I roll my eyes.
“He wouldn’t have been dead. Just mildly injured…” I say and she laughs again.
“Ya know I only told him no cause I liked you,” she says in a bashful tone and I smile as I rub her cheek lightly.
“I didn’t then, but I do now,” I say and she smiles, giggling some more.
“Oi, are you two done snogging yet?” Edmund says, making us turn to look at him as he sits on a horse.
“We weren’t snogging…” I say and he scoffs.
“Yeah, right. Listen I’m glad you guys are together now, but that doesn’t mean I wanna see you guys snog. Come on and get some practice in,” Edmund says and I roll my eyes as y/n giggles.
“Well you heard him, let's go,” y/n says as she gets up from my lap.
“Oh fine. We’ll definitely finish this later though…” I tell her after she helps pull me up and she smiles.
“I wouldn’t expect that we wouldn’t,” she says, shaking her head as we walk over to where everyone else is.
She picks up her staff and walks over to the girls. I stay where I am and watch her for a few minutes before Edmund comes over to me on his horse.
“Quit staring, would ya? It’s a little creepy,” he says just as a white unicorn walks over to us.
“Your highness…” the unicorn says as he bows.
“My name is Moonshine. I will be your stead. Appointed by Aslan Himself,” the unicorn says and I nod while smiling.
“Of course. Thank you,” I say as I give Moonshine a curt nod.
“Just let me grab my sword and we can start,” I say before looking at Edmund, who eagerly nods.
Y/n’s Pov:
I pick up my staff and turn to see Peter talking to a white unicorn. He turns when he feels my eyes on him and smiles at me before turning back to the unicorn. I shake my head and let out a light giggle before joining the girls.
Just as I walk over, Susan pulls back on her bow and takes a moment before letting go of it. We watch as the arrow flies through the air before landing at the edge of the second ring closest to the bullseye. Lucy lets out a gasp of awe as Susan looks at where her arrow landed with a scowl.
Lucy quickly looks down at her hip and unsheaths her dagger before throwing it. I watch with a smile on my face as the dagger lands right on the bullseye. Susan and Lucy chuckle as I look down at my staff.
It takes me a moment, but I figure out how to disconnect the sticks from the staff. I drop the staff to my side and hold each stick in my hands. I jump and toss one before doing a flip mid air and tossing the other.
I land in a kneeling position and look up to see where my sticks had landed. I smile when I see both sticks stuck in the bullseye on either side of Lucy’s dagger. I look up at the girls and they’re both looking at me in awe as I stand.
“What?” I say in a nonchalant way.
“Do you not realize what you just did?” Susan asks in a shocked tone and I shrug.
“It wasn’t that hard. I guess it just came to me,” I say with a shrug.
“It just came to you?” Susan says in a surprised tone before letting out an airy chuckle.
“I mean… yeah it did,” I say with another shrug and I giggle at her surprised look.
“Don’t be so surprised. How did you just pick up the bow and know how to use it?” I say and she looks at me for a moment before we both burst out laughing.
We laugh for a few minutes before we hear the neighing of horses, making all three of us turn to look. We see both Peter and Edmund coming up over the hill, Edmund on his horse and Peter on the unicorn I saw earlier. They ride up over the hill and to the open field behind us.
“Come on, Ed! Sword point up. Like Oreius showed us,” Peter shouts as he and Edmund practice.
Lucy runs over to the target and grabs Susan’s arrow along with her dagger and my escrima sticks before walking back over to us. She hands Susan her arrow and she puts it in her quiver. Lucy then hands me my escrima sticks and I pick up my stuff before connecting them back to it.
Lucy sheaths her dagger before we all turn back to watch the boys continue on. I walk over and stand under one of the awnings. I grab a cup of water and start to drink it as I lean against the pole while continuing to watch the boys.
“En garde!” Edmund shouts as he does as Peter had said.
“Now block!” Peter shouts as he continues to deflect Edmund’s advances.
“Hey!” Edmund shouts when Peter gets the upper hand.
“Edmund!” Mr. Beaver shouts as he comes up over the hill, making Peter and Edmund come to a stop. Mr. Beaver runs up to the boys and Edmund’s horse freaks out.
“Whoa, horsie!” Edmund shouts as he tries to calm his horse down.
“My name is Phillip,” the horse declares after his feet land on the ground again.
“Oh… sorry,” Edmund says and I giggle.
I quickly put my cup of water down and run over to stand next to Peter, who’s still on the unicorn. Peter looks down at me and gives me a smile before looking at Mr. Beaver again.
“The Witch has demanded a meeting with Aslan,” Mr. Beaver says and pauses as Edmund looks at Peter, then back to Mr. Beaver.
“She’s on her way here,” Mr. Beaver finishes as he points over his shoulder and Edmund freezes for a moment before straining up.
“Well, let’s go then,” Edmund says and Peter looks at him closely before slipping down from his unicorn and Ed slips down off his horse as well.
I quietly walk over and grab onto Peter’s arm, making him turn to look at me. When he sees my worried look, he grabs my hand and squeezes it. Edmund takes a deep breath as he hands the horse off to Oarmia, who gives him a bow.
I watch as Peter watches his brother carefully as we all start to walk back to the walkway to Aslan’s tent. Just as we come over the hill, Peter grabs my hand and suddenly we’re all running to get in front of the crowd.
“Jadis, the queen of Narnia!” We hear someone yell just as we run up to the front of the crowd.
“Go away, witch!” One of the Narnians shouts.
“Empress of the Lone Islands!” The little dwarf that we can now see continues to yell out.
“You don’t belong here!” Another Narnian shouts and Lucy turns to look at Peter.
“Go away!” Another Narnian shouts.
The shouts don’t even phase her and her followers as they just continue to walk her to Aslan. He lets out a growl and plants his feet so he’s standing in a mighty stance. Before we know it, her throne gets lowered to the ground and we all watch with bated breath as she stands from her seat.
To Be Continued…
