f1news y/n y/l/n and max verstappen called it quits almost a month ago and it seems like they didn't end on good terms at all. the singer, at her london show last night, threw shade at her ex-boyfriend, saying and we quote, "the next song wouldn't have been possible without this one dude who inspired it obviously. so — here's 'i should hate you'. spoiler alert, i do. thank you!" the reason for the split is still unknown but sources who claim to be close to the pair said that 'it was bound to happen — with their different goals and plans for the future," seemingly referring to the talks that y/l/n wanted to get married and verstappen didn't. both of them have yet to comment on the situation. for more details, click on the link in our bio.

[ixiot-ghostrebel]

Hey I hope you have a great day.

So I just saw the post with the wrath of the creator on Azar and I had an idea.

I am very emotional and I bailed my eyes out when I did the chasm quest with xiao and he nearly died AND I got a sad cutscene of the adepti after so my traveler was just stuck in the dialog with Xiao while I was crying a whole waterfall and sniffing really loudly and the only other quest where I had that was when we were in the chasm with dain and he tells us that the hillichurls are cursed people from Khanri'ah. I stood in front of the corpses and cried heart out.

So I wanted to ask the characters reactions to that. Especially Xiao, the archons we know (because khanri'ah and its destruction is a big thing here) and dainsleif.

I'm sorry this got so long. If you want to change something or want to add someone or take a character out it's okay, this is just my 5 am thought I just had.

Alr, Anon! Coming right up! Imma just focus on the Perilous Quest lol-

Creator Having A Meltdown During Perilous Quest

(Warning: Might Be OOC & Spoilers to the Perilous Archon Quest!)

Yelan

She wasn't going to lie, she wasn't expecting you to cry your heart out so freely. Raw emotion was hard to come by when people grow. They tend to be more...seclusive, with their emotions.

You, on the other hand, were free-balling it. You did NOT care if people were gonna look at you weird, you are gonna cry because you are sad! And honestly, Yelan's glad that the Almighty Creator is expressive and sentient. It proves just how much you care for the characters.

"It seems the Almighty Creator is far more connected than anyone thought..." She wonders what she can do with this information, but at the same time, keep it under wraps. Letting this information slip into the wrong hands was always dangerous.

She wouldn't gamble your safety. Never. Safe to say Yelan's got you covered.

Itto

Woah, woah! He did not expect you, the Almighty Creator, to be crying their eyes out the moment he wakes up from passing out and all that—what he miss? What happened while he was sleeping?

Wait, they're not in the Chasm anymore? Oh Archons, someone just tell him what happened! Why the heck is the Creator balling his eyes out?

"Huh—? What's going on? We're out of the chasm?" Poor guy is so oblivious, and no one's bothering to fill him in—at least, at the moment.

He'll pester Shinobu about this later. Just, someone, stop the Creator from crying! Those are sad tunes, not something you want to hear when you should be celebrating about leaving that gloomy place!

Yanfei

She was NOT expecting you to be this emotional! Yanfei feels a little guilty not being able to do anything about it, to be honest...

She has to resist the urge to shake Xiao out of his stupor, because a) that was unprofessional, b) she's more relieved than anything, and c) Yanfei wasn't sure if you, the Creator, would think she was okay if she started acting out like that.

So, instead, she tries to ground herself, and do her best to make sure that the situation is fine, and that everything will be okay. That's the least she can do to reassure you, and everyone else, right?

"Hopefully, Their Grace will stop those tears...Hearing them sad makes me feel sad..." As a lawyer, Yanfei knows how to sympathize with her clients. This, however, felt like she could really understand what you were going through—there was a bond between you and everyone.

She doesn't want to make you sad. That's one thing for sure. Yanfei wouldn't be able to sleep out of guilt otherwise.

Shinobu

She wasn't expecting you to be crying your heart out, but she loves how sentient you are. It shows just how you truly care about Xiao, and about everyone.

She really appreciates you. She can see how you connect with every character—how you cheer with everyone, cherish the moment with everyone, rejoice, and mourn. This was visible proof of it all.

"Hm...How should we comfort Their Grace..." Shinobu wants to do something—for the sake of the gang's gratitude for their Almighty Creator. And everyone here as well.

You contributed much of yourself for them. For that, she's grateful.

She'll have to explain to Boss later...but that's besides the point right now.

Xiao

He feels guilty for making you cry. He heard you call out his name several many times. He hears how you ball your eyes out, thinking you were gonna lose him, only for Rex Lapis to save him just in time.

He doesn't know if the Lord of Geo heard your divine prayers, or if he went on his own accord, but he feels guilty. He placed a heavy burden on you. He didn't mean to.

"How should I make it up to Their Grace..." He listens to how you scream and cry (out of joy now) that he was alive. You, the Almighty Creator, already connected yourself to someone like him. Your bond was too severe, and he tried to cut it off.

But the way the Traveler is smiling at them with a reassuring smile, Xiao wonders if he will be forgiven. Perhaps far quicker than he imagined.

Ghost Rebel Side Notes: This honestly feels too OOC—I don't really know Yelan's personality all that well, and honestly I don't think I caught the full potential of Yanfei, Itto, and Shinobu. I do hope you enjoyed this, but I'm also sorry if this came out disappointing.

Romcom Cuddles M.S

a/n: this has so many spoilers for the movie 27 dresses so please watch the movie before/while reading this </3

summary: its the same as the movie night fic for chris but with matt as was requested by @noirpxrker

cw: fluff and MAJOR SPOILERS FOR 27 DRESSES

w/c: 1200

“What did you say this was called again?” Matt spoke as the scene of a pink and white wedding began to play on the computer screen sitting in front of the two of you. You and your boyfriend had been planning a movie night since the tour had begun and you knew exactly what you wanted to watch. Matt had suggested a scary movie or a thriller, something halloweeny and although you loved how enthusiastic Matt was about the spooky season, you knew you wanted to watch a rom com. So you took about 3 hours to convince Matt to trust you on your movie choice. You were both finally back in LA and at the triplets apartment where you and Matt could finally enjoy your movie night. “It’s called 27 Dresses Matt, it’s a cute little romance movie.” Matt sighed, scrolling through his phone as you watched the main character explain her love for weddings and seeing them come together. It was always a touching story to you, the doomed bridesmaid finally finding love for herself. “Booo I don’t think dresses says October movie date.” You rolled your eyes and flicked Matt’s arm. “You already agreed to it. Just watch the girly movie because you love me so much.” Matt rolled his eyes and wrapped an arm around your shoulders, pressing an adoring kiss to your cheek. You smiled in a giddy glee before settling onto his chest. 

For a while Matt stayed quiet, watching the witty chaotic banter from the movie. You already knew the entire movie by heart, each witty little line, the big proclamation of love by the end of the movie, all the fun in betweens, the twists and turns, the fighting, all of it. Matt sat up suddenly as the girl began to undress in the back of a taxi. “Woah woah woah what kind of movie is this??” You brought your head up to look at your boyfriend. You quickly rolled your eyes and motioned back to the movie. There was 0 nudity and 0 sexual things happening on the screen, causing Matt to slowly calm down. “Ok ok, ignore my former question. But why is she changing into a bunch of dresses right now?” You shake your head. “It’s her job, she’s in different weddings. Now shhhhh please.” Matt sighed and kissed the top of your head. “Ok baby I’m sorry.” A few more minutes goes on and soon the sister comes into Jane’s life again. As soon as Matt sees the sister making her moves he pauses the movie. He turns to you with his mouth totally agape. “Is her sister going to marry the guy she loves!?” As you watch your boyfriend fall into total shock at the audacity within a movie he previously found very girly, you bursted into loud laughter. You slowly nodded before patting the portion of bed next to you. “It’ll be ok Matt, just watch the movie…” Matt begrudgingly laid back down, hugging you tightly as you grabbed some of the popcorn you prepared beforehand. The movie continued on, the plot slowly moving through each section. Then the bombshell dropped, sister marrying Jane’s boss who she just so happens to be in love with. Matt nearly threw the computer but you managed to calm him down to keep watching the movie. 

It stayed fairly quiet, at least mostly quiet. Matt managed to throw in some aggressive and irritated blips about how rude and selfish the sister was, how Chris and Nick would never ever pull anything like what the sister did. You tried to quiet him quickly so that he didn’t miss anything else in the movie such as the plot twist that wasn’t really a twist at all. Matt, thankfully, quieted his anger at the fictional characters when he saw the main character kiss the second guy. Y’know that romance trope where the girl meets her exact opposite except he’s actually just like her but he has to get through his own stuff, yeah that’s this movie’s trope as well. You hugged Matt’s arm tighter as the plot thickened, the first climax of the film finally coming. Matt shook his head and sighed, leaning to pause the movie. “Baby this movie is doing something to me. It’s too up and down, I need to know it’s gonna be ok.” You knew that your boyfriend was teasing you but there was a hint of genuine frustration at the movie. That he was genuinely annoyed at how the girl was going to get through everything and somehow find a happy ending. Because that’s the trick with rom coms, there’s always a happy ending. You sat up to meet your boyfriend, a smile printed against your lips. You gently cupped his cheek and pulled him into a kiss. “I wouldn’t show you a movie that you wouldn’t like Matt, just let the movie finish.” Matt pouted before pulling you closer and snuggling into the bed once more. He finally unpaused the movie and silence fell upon the room. 

Throughout the movie there were a few more exclamations from Matt, the most notable one being after the main character, Jane, exposed her sister for lying. Matt had to pause the movie so he could jump off the bed and do a small victory dance around the room. At the end of the dance he turned to you and pointed at you, “We should show this movie to Nick and Chris. I think Nick would like it, Chris might as well but I’m less sure.” He shrugged before you gave him a stern look. Earning an apology from the boy before he hopped back into bed to finish the movie. Finally getting past the most shocking ups and downs of the movie, Matt calmed and just watched the movie. There were a few moments where you managed to get some funny photos of him. He ended up being more invested in the movie than you were, which you found hilarious.

As the movie began to close up, tying each lose end up you found Matt was silent, like too silent. You turned to the boy and noticed he was so focused on the movie that he’d moved away from cuddling you to sit hunched over the computer. You laughed to yourself before scooting up to him and leaning your head against his shoulder. Upon you doing that he jolted, the two main characters confessing their love for eachother as he looked at you. You stared into his blue eyes and he smiled, grabbing your hands and pulling you off the bed. Music played as the movie came to a close with a beautiful wedding and 27 dresses. Matt let the credit music play as he pulled you close to him, swaying you around the room. After a few minutes of the two of you gently swaying together to random music you pulled away, looking up at Matt. “What was that for?” Matt smiled, “I just wanted to twirl you around and make you feel beautiful.” With that he leaned down and kissed you, a soft mumble of words escaping against your lips. “I love you.” “I love you too.”

Christmas help

Kate Bishop x gn!reader

Summary: basically the plot of Hawkeye, but with reader as Kate's partner

Warnings: Hawkeye spoilers, angst with a happy ending, some curse words

Word count: 5256

-

-

"okay I know it may sound crazy, but you have to believe me"

"why wouldn't I believe you?"

"well, because this is really crazy"

"Kate honey, we've been together for a while, I think I’m used to your level of craziness." You shrugged your shoulders.

"no-ugh" She removed one hand from her pocket to grab your wrist and pull you into a less crowded street, which was hard considering it was Christmas time. "this time, it was crazy for me too. I met...an avenger"

At this you widened your eyes. A thing that not many people knew, your girlfriend being one of them, is that you were the newest avenger, fighting crimes for almost five years now, but the other avengers agreed that with you still being a student it was safer to hide your identity. You trusted them not to tell random people who you were, but the thought did cross your mind.

"excuse me, you met who? Who did you meet?" You might already knew the answer by the excitement on her face, but you still wanted a confirmation.

"I met Hawkeye" she whisper-yelled "you could say we're partners now"

"partners...with Clint?"

"yea I figured he's not the most social person in the world but we, wait" she suddenly stops, confusion on her face "how do you know his name?"

...

Shit

"you remember the whole ultron thing? all the avengers' informations got leaked, i read his name" You shrugged. Thank god for those drama classes and quick thinking. "how did you meet him?" you changed the subject, and she seemed to fall into your trap.

"do you remember that charity thing my mom hosted right? turns out there was a big illegal auction and, you know Ronin? yea his suit was there and the tracksuit mafia wanted to buy it but I stole it before they could, I didn't want it I didn't know it was there, I was there just because my mom forced me to go, you know I don't like the parties my mom throws-"

"Kate" you stopped her messy rant, repeating your question. "how did you meet Clint?"

She nodded, collecting her thoughts before speaking again. "Clint knows Ronin wants his suit back, but we first have to take down these people, and it's better if we do it before Christmas because he made a promise to his family to be celebrate it with them."

You sighed, that was typical of Clint, he wouldn't leave if he knew a civilian was in danger. You never heard of this tracksuit mafia, but if it wanted Ronin, it's not something to joke about.

"that's why you have those cuts on you face?"

"yea we got into -a kind of- a fight, after we...got kidnapped, well he did. I just followed him." she responded hesitantly.

"Kate!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I had to help him. And yes I should have told you but that's why I called you. I wanted to spend a little time with you while I grabbed something to eat." she raised the bag she was holding.

"let's go home, you need to take care of those wounds" you said, knowing she doesn't know how to do that.

"wait let's go to my aunt's place, I told Clint I would bring some food."

- - - -

"Clint? I'm back!" Kate called, closing the door after letting you in "oh right he can't hear" she continued once she didn't get a response.

Said man raised his head from the newspaper he was holding when he saw movement. Once your eyes locked, his seemed to widen. With you being behind Kate, you were able to shake your hand and put a finger on your lips, hoping he would catch the signal.

"Kate why did you bring a friend? You know this is dangerous, they need to go home." Thank god he caught it.

"no no listen, I mean-" she took a notebook from the table and started writing on it 'they're my partner, (Y/N), I trust them completely and they can handle themselves'

Clint stared at the words for a moment, before rolling his eyes while nodding.

"woah..okay thanks, I thought it would have taken more convincing..." The brunette muttered under her breath. Well...he's better at doing his job than being an actor.

While she went to put the groceries in the kitchen, you signed to Clint 'I'll explain later'

He didn't have time to reply when his phone started ringing. Kate re-entered the room to help him, but you were already by the man's side, signing what Nathaniel was saying.

"uh yeah it's...tonight is movie marathon night, that's right, um I really wish I could be there with you" You and Kate exchanged looks, you could see a glimpse of guilt and worry in her eyes before he continued.

"I think I'll be back in the next day or so in time for our ugly Christmas sweater party. I'll be there buddy"

There was silence on both ends after that, before Nathaniel spoke again, "I love you dad"

You started signing but Clint beat you to it and responded with 'I love you more'.

When the call ended he nodded as a thanks and went into another room. Kate turned to look at you "I didn't know you knew sign language"

You put your hands in your pockets, a light nervousness clear in your voice "well, yeah because I never told you, I was mute for almost five years when I was a kid. Selective mutism to be exact."

She forrowed her eyebrows "I didn't know that either- why didn't I know that?"

You sighed, shaking your head "it's just a small part of my past, one I would prefer not to remember, that's all" before she could respond, you interrupted. "let me mend those wounds."

- - - -

"you want to go to your mother's house? And you want me to come along?" after taking care of kate, you repaired Clint's hearing device, Tony taught you how to, since you and him often had missions together. And now the adult archer was able to listen to your conversation.

"yes, (Y/N). Clint knows what we're looking for and I know all the passwords, we need you to alert us if my mom comes back before the time, entertain her until we are done."

"I don't know Kate...your mom doesn't like me. With what excuse am I into her house? 'oh hi miss Bishop I was just waiting for your daughter and instead of knocking I decided to just break into your house, but oh! would you like a cup of tea? a long cup of tea?' you don't even live there" you tried to explain your point, hoping she would see it.

"they're right Kate, we can't bring them into our mess, it's already bad enough that you are. I can't protect both of you." she was about to rebut but eventually closed her mouth, nodding her head.

"I'll let you two to your mission then." you announced, rising from your spot on the couch. Kate raised too, accompanying you to the door.

Once you arrived, you took her hands in yours, raising you voice just a bit so that clint could hear what you were about to say but not enough to let the girl in front of you notice "call me if you need anything, okay? I'll be ready"

"God I hope I won't need any more help" she mutterd making the both of you chuckle.

"I'll se you soon. Don't be too reckless, follow Clint's orders, please" and to prevent one of her stubborn comebacks, you put your lips on hers, kissing her softly.

"bye kid." shouted the man from the other room after a few minutes, effectively scaring the two of you.

"uh yea, bye Mr. Clint! bye Kate" you got out of the apartment. "I'll text you later, promise" she made a kissy face before shutting the door.

- - - -

You don't know how much time has passed since you last saw your girlfriend, trusting Clint to take care of her you decided to catch up on sleep all day. But it was now nighttime and you were doing a report of your last mission to give Fury as soon as it was completed.

Truth be told, it was more of a distraction, you were worried for the two of them but at the same time you knew how distracting and dangerous a sudden phone call could be. So you just had to wait and hope for the best.

A few minutes later you finished your report, your phone started ringing, '<my archer3' on the screen. Needless to say, you instantly responded. "Kate? oh my God, are you okay? Clint-"

"(Y/N)-" a word was all that it took to make you stop. Her voice...cracked. Her voice never cracks, always so confident and steady. "can I, can I come over? Please" if you weren't so on alert you wouldn't have heard her last word.

"of course you can baby, where are you? You want me to pick you up?"

"no, there's no need, I'm almost there" you internally took note of her now slightly relaxed tone.

"okay, I'll wait for you"

- - - -

As soon as you opened the door she entered the house, throwing the bow on the couch. While she was pacing around, fidgeting with her hands you took in her appearance. Her clothes were dirty and she looked sweaty, but most of all exhausted.

You stepped in her personal space, taking her cheeks in your hands to make her look at you. "Kate, how about you take a shower, there are some clothes on the sink, and then you can tell me what's going on, how does that sound?"

Her gaze shifted between your eyes, before sniffing and softly nodding her head.

- - - -

Once she got out of the bathroom, wearing her pants and your sweater, she found you sitting on the couch and her now clean bow was on the armchair. Sensing her presence you raised your head from your phone, smiling.

"Hey, take a slice of pizza, I ordered it today, I can heat it up if you want"

The archer ignored the food on the coffee table, instead taking the phone from your hands, putting it in her pocket. She sat beside you on the couch, putting one of your arms around her shoulder, while she laid her head in the crook of you neck, sighing.

Combining your free hand through her damp hair, you remained quiet, waiting for her to talk.

"me and Clint fought, well kind of-" she took a deep breath before recollecting her thoughts. She told you everything that happened, from the fight on the roof to the meeting with the masked assassin in her apartment.

"wait, Natasha's sister? are you sure?" she took her head off her shoulder to look at you, nodding. Natasha rarely talked about Yelena and they were mostly just little comments, but still, a desire to kill her sister's best friend was not something you expected from the blonde.

"I tried to contact Clint multiple times to inform him but he never answered, I guess we really are not partners anymore" she began looking at her hands, but she raised her head again once she felt a kiss to her forehead.

"it's okay, we'll figure something out, he may look like a grumpy man tired of his job, but he wouldn't let a teenager in danger, knowing he could be of help."

You tried to reassure her, and it seemed like it worked, judging by the chuckle that escaped her mouth. "when you talk like that it seems like you personally know him."

"I'm...good at reading people, I guess" after a few seconds of silence you focused on her breathing, noticing how regular it was, lowering you head you confirmed your suspicions, she fell asleep.

Being as careful as possible you picked her up bridal style and brought her to you bedroom. When you laid her on the bed she unconsciously wrapped her arms around your neck, as to keep you there.

"I wasn't planning on leaving you here, anyway" you laid next to her, taking her back in your hold, now with her head on your chest. "goodnight, love" you softly kissed her hair and waited for an eventual sign. Receiving back none, you cautiously took you phone from her back pocket to contact the blonde avenger.

'I'm not takings sides'

'but you saw how helpful she can be'

'I can look after her while you do your thing'

You thought for a few seconds about your next words.

'just tell me if you need my help, please'

You sighed, putting your phone on the nightstand you closed your eyes, and thanks to Kate's light snores you were soon able to fall asleep.

- - - -

The next morning Kate decided to go to her mom's house to reassure her, and you were still in your house, since you didn't have any information on the situation there wasn't really much you could do, you found yourself waiting for your girlfriend's messages.

From Clint, nothing. But recently he read the texts you sent him, that'll do for now.

- - - -

It's been two days now and you were once again sitting on the couch watching a movie in complete silence. That was until someone knocked, no, literally broke into your apartment.

You jumped from your spot ready to attack the intruder but your favorite scent and two arms around your shoulders stopped you.

"I talked to him! I talked to him! We're good"

You grabbed her waist to tear yourself away from the jumping girl in front of you, bright smile on her lips.

"Kate, oh my- how-what- it's been two days, mind texting me sometimes?" she opened and closed her mouth before pouting.

"I texted you, they were just a random letter, but-but I did" she tried, ending the hug with her hands on you shoulders.

- - - -

"So, what's the next step?" the dark haired girl shook her head, putting her glass on the coffee table, picking up a slice of pizza instead.

"I can't tell you that, it's reserved." she responded with a professional exterior. You open your mouth in amusement and unbelief which made her throw her head back laughing. "I admit I shouldn't have told you anything at all, but you're my partner and I always want to tell you what happens in my life" she ended on a shy note, looking at the food.

You took a bite from her pizza before she could "come on, what could I do? call the bad guys and tell them your plan?"

"(Y/N) stop, I can't tell you, Clint told me not not to"

You furrowed your brows "he did?"

"...yea"

She surrendered with just a look.

"okay he didn't exactly say not to tell you, but it's better if you don't know. I want to keep you safe and- and stop eating my pizza" she put the palm of her hand on your forehead, pushing you away with a fake annoyed face.

Once she finished eating she rose from her seat. "I'll take a shower and we'll go to bed?"

"yes please, you really stink" you got a punch on the arm as a response.

"shut up, says the one who hugged me all night" she grabbed your cheeks, kissing you quickly, before exiting the room.

While you were putting away the pizza box you heard the ring coming from your phone. You took it from your pocket to read the message.

'eventually, are you free tomorrow night?'

You smirked.

'hello to you too, Barton'

'eventually yes, I am free tomorrow night'

- - - -

"Clint the tracksuit are here" Kate stated through her earpiece. She just got down the building thanks to the rope, trying to chase Yelena.

The avenger exposed himself to the window, looking around and muttered angrily "(Y/N) where the fuck are you?-"

"right here, what do I do?" you responded energetically, barely missing the arrow that was aimed at your face.

"woah! you should really recognize the voice, before randomly shooting, you know?" you took the arrow stuck on the wall, handing it to the man.

"you're late."

"technically you didn't give me a time so I can't be late, you just said tonight"

"(Y/N)." and his stern tone made you drop the jokes.

"right, okay. What do I do?" you repeated your question.

"I need you to help Kate, and if you take down the enemies on your way it would be appreciated." he didn't wait for an answer and marched out of the room.

You shook your head, making little jumps to accommodate the adrenaline in your body. You got down from the window, landing without a problem thanks to your powers.

You scanned the area, finding your girlfriend talking to Jack. Running towards her you landed a flying kick in the ribs to a man behind Kate, probably planning on hitting her with his metal bat.

You suddenly kneeled on the ground to avoid the bow, once again, aimed at your face. "I'm on your side, not need to attack me" you pointed a finger to her face. There was no need to change your voice, since the mask already did it for you.

"what are you doing here?"

You tried making up an excuse "uh well, Hawkeye called, said he needed my help."

She furrowed her brows, probably because he didn't tell her anything. "is that guy on our side? I saw you talking to him" you pointed in Jack's gerenal direction, even tho he was not there anymore.

"it's hard to explain, but yea he's with us" she got the words out after a short minute. You both got into action.

- - - -

After half an hour of fighting you find yourself on the ground, a man's hands on your neck, making it impossible for you to breathe.

You used you knee to hit him in the stomach, causing him to growl out in pain, giving you the opportunity to throw him on his back.

As you straddled him and gave him a punch to the side of his head, you heard Kate screaming, and instantly after, you felt a metal bat colliding with your head.

"oh my God!" the archer exclaimed running to you, after defeating your aggressor. The blow only brought you a sense of disorientation thanks to the mask's protection, but what you didn't know was that the voice changer mechanism was now broken.

"are you, are you okay?" she kneeled beside you, using one of her hands to support your shoulders.

"yeah, go back to the fight, I'll be fine in less than a minute." Kate's concern stopped for a second to let confusion settle in upon hearing your voice.

"your voice" even tho it was just a whisper, you were able to hear her, making you jump on your feet and far from the girl.

"see? All better now, let's go back" you said in an horrible fake voice, turning your back to distance yourself.

But Kate obviously didn't fall for your trick. So she called after you. "(Y/N)? Come back here, (Y/N)."

You slowly did as she said, suddenly hoping for a group of enemies to find you, but it seemed like they were on a coffee break.

The brunette took a few steps forward, until your bodies were only centimeters apart. Knowing it was useless to try and defend yourself, you let her put her hand on the base of your neck, to pull your mask off, revealing your face.

“You’re a superhero?”

"well, 'superhero' is a term used in comic books or movies, we don't really use that word in real life" seeing the roll of her eyes and her clenched jaw made you stop. You sighed. "yes."

"why didn't you tell me? You don't trust me enough?" you immediately shook your head, putting your hands in front of you. "of course not, love. It's not a matter of trust-"

"then what is it?" she looked away and sniffed, like she was about to cry. "and don't tell me it's because you wanted to protect me, or maybe it is? Maybe you think I'm so weak that I can't even protect myself?"

You closed your eyes tightly and pinched the bridge of your nose. She was just putting words in your mouth, making you snap.

“Here? You want to do this here?” you opened your arms wide as if to remind her of the situation you both were in.

She sniffed again, soflty nodding her head. "yeah, you're right, let's not talk about it anymore mh? Let's not talk about anything, anymore."

"come on, Kate you know that's not-" you tried grabbing her arm but she was already out of reach. You let out a loud puff, throwing your mask on the ground in frustration.

After a couple of minutes you hear steps behind you and you quickly grabbed your mask from the floor putting it back on, only to realize that the steps belonged to Clint.

"how is it going here, why is not Kate with you?" he was trying to avoid showing it but the worry on his voice was evident.

As much evident as your own trembling voice when you turned to look at him. "I don't know, she left. She found out and she just left. I couldn't get her to calm down and let me explain."

The man put a hand on your shoulder, trying to calm you down. "(Y/N) stop. You're an avenger. You must put the safety of the civilians before your personal business." it was a stern thing to say, but he knew you needed an emotional slap to get back on track. He continued after seeing you nod. "when did she separate?"

You shrugged your shoulders "three to four minutes ago. Three minutes and twenty-five seconds." Clint smiled lightly seeing your somewhat normal behavior.

"Go help her kid. I'm rooting for you." you raised your eyebrows with a smile, even though he couldn't see your face.

"you are rooting for me? I'm must be fucked then." he jokingly pushed your shoulder with a muttered 'shut up'

- - - -

As you left Clint on his own, not knowing that soon after he met Yelena, you went to look for your girlfriend and heard her screaming from the other side of the road.

She was standing on the ground, with a really big man in front of her. He was leaning to give her another punch but your voice stopped him. "hey. You want to fight someone so bad? Fight me you coward"

Your courage flew out the window when he turned around, showing you his face. Kingpin. Clint told you something about him but seeing him in front of you was even worse.

"oh? Look who we have here to join us." he started with a smile full of malice "Listen kid, I'm not interested in you-" he stopped again, felling something touching his back.

What touched him was actually one of Kate's arrows.

She suddenly looked at you, with both fear and determination strong in her gaze. With a quick look at the arrows lying around in the shop, you knew her plan.

As soon as Kingpin turned to face the girl you jumped on his back, with your arms around his neck and your hands covering his eyes, Kate sprung into action and put the arrows down following her scheme.

Kingpin though, had no problem in grabbing you by the jacked and throwing you across the room, your back hit the wall and then your face met the floor making you growl out in pain.

This continued for some time, with you taking his hits, and Kate arranging her arrows on the floor. Running to hide behind some boxes, she called after you. "watch out!"

With the last breath of air you had left, you gave him a punch under his jaw, effectively causing him to release your neck. You used the time he spent looking at all the arrows laying around to get out of the building, but close enough to be able to look after Kate.

Then, there was a big glowy blue light and the man was the center of it. After a few minutes of silence you thought it was over, Kate thought it too, but you suddenly saw him coming at you.

You gulped, preparing to use your powers but before you could, a car hit Kingpin against the wall of the shop. You relaxed your arms, seeing Kate's mother exiting the vehicle.

You stayed on the side while they talked but you could hear what they were saying.

"is that what heros do? Arrest their mother on chirstmas." Those were the last words Eleanor spoke before a police agent took her away.

You looked to your side, suddenly noticing that kingpin was not there anymore. You wanted to go look for him but you averted your gaze when the archer marched towards you.

"go back to your house and mend those cuts I know you rarely do...god I should have known" she closed her eyes in realization "and all the little information you let slip out about Clint, you even repaired his hearing device for fuck's sake" she threw her hands in the air, shaking her head.

"Kate, I'm sorry. I-" you stopped when she held one finger up. "stop, I don't wanna hear it, I don't want to hear anything from you, I can't even look at you anymore."

She turned her head but you noticed the tears that begged to be let out, and you felt even worse than you already did. You tried to grab her arm but she took a step back.

" don't. I've had enough of being betrayed." that's all she said, before going away a second time, probably to look for Clint.

You sighed taking your phone and opened the chat with the avenger.

'she's coming to you'

'take care of her cuts please'

'merry Christmas'

You shook your head, blinking away the tears, going back to your house.

- - - -

It was now 4 a.m. in the morning and you didn't sleep, too busy replaying the events of the night in your head. You should have told her sooner, you trust her with you whole heart and you know she can protect herself, the worry just seemed to always win.

Suddenly you hear three knocks on your door.

"it's becoming a habit" you murmured as you went to see who it was.

"hi" there she stood with a timid smile on her lips.

"hey, come in" you closed the door after letting her in.

You were not going to lie, the other side of you was kinda angry at the archer, you just wanted her to let you explain. You crossed your arms.

She took a deep breath "okay. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted that way, it's just been a stressful week, you didn't tell me about you being mute and-"

"I said it's something I don't want to talk about."

"I know I know, and I completely understand, I'm just saying that so many things came together and-"

You sighed, you both said sorry and you both explained yourselves so there was no need to keep going. "I forgive you"

"Clint told me how important it is for some heros to keep their identity secret"

"Kate I said it's okay"

"and normally I wouldn't mind because I understand but-"

With her hands in yours you shut her up, with the help of a kiss "I said I forgive you". You pull away from her, chuckling. "God it is so hard to get you to listen."

“I still hate you, ya know?”

You playfully rolled your eyes. "and for what?" you knew from the look in her eyes it was not going to be anything serious, and you almost wanted to laugh at her attempt to keep her frown. "well you are an avenger, every time I talked about Clint or about a theory you always listened to me without saying anything."

You burst out laughing and it only got worse when your girlfriend slapped your chest, keeping her hand there as a barrier when you brought you lips centimeters away from hers.

"don't, don't kiss me you don't deserve it" she whispered with her eyes almost closed.

But once you put your mouth on hers she couldn't help but smile, humming. One of her hands cupped your cheek, the other on the back of your neck, while your hands held her waist. She detached when she needed to breathe. The pout now was completely gone as she looked in your eyes.

"am I forgiven now?"

"mh, almost" she teased, brushing her lips with yours, hinting at another kiss.

But you were planning something else. "I got a proposition for you then" she furrowed her brows in response, slightly upset you didn't give her what she wanted.

“Wanna help me make a new super suit?”

This was even better then a kiss, she put her hands on your shoulders, squeezing them, clearly excited. "wait, really? Can I really do it? Oh I have a lot of ideas if I can"

You looked between her eyes, smiling. "of course you do, you make sure to share every possible design you can think of"

"and now you can use them!" she said matter-of-factly. "but we better get to sleep now, we have places to be."

"where do we have to go?" instead of answering, she kissed you again, pulling you to your bed.

- - - -

"dad! dad you're here!" an excited Nathaniel screamed, running to jump into his father's arms, followed by Lila and Cooper. Laura was a few feet away, enjoying the scene with her arms crossed.

"merry Christmas buddy, all of you" he whispered, kissing every kid's head. Then he raised his own to look at his wife.

"I hope you don't mind, I brought three strays." "uhm, excuse me" you entered the house with a fake hurt, and loud, tone. "I am not a-"

"(Y/N)!" Nathaniel interrupted you, moving away from the avenger only to hug you. You picked him up, and he wrapped his legs and arms around you. "hey little boy, merry Christmas" he chuckled in response "merry Christmas (Y/N)" depositing a sloppy kiss on your cheek.

A bark distracted the happy scenario, making everyone but you and Clint turn to the door. "sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, I guess pizza dog is hungry." she stood still with a shy smile. You playfully rolled your eyes, taking her hand with your free one.

"come in, you idiot, only you are missing"

- - - -

After that rather clumsy and shy enter, she met everyone, already seeming to get along with Lila. You played some family games, with joyful bickering between the different teams. Once it was time to prepare lunch, Laura instantly scolded you when you went into the kitchen to help, playfully shoving you away and demanding that you needed to rest.

So you were now in the living room while the baby of the house slept on your lap. You felt the couch dip and a little weight on your shoulder. "how are you feeling?" you asked, seeing her yawning and nuzzling her head deeper into your neck.

"mh, tired" she murmured.

Your lips turned into a smile, leaving a kiss to her temple "merry Christmas, my love"

there wasn't much work in the armed detective agency office, but dazai, being dazai, was exaggerating how it was february 14—a day of love and romance while also throwing in some comments about having someone to commit double suicide with, much to atsushi's dismay.

being the armed detective agency, they just weren't ones for holidays. duties calls given their line of work. it just so happened that today was miraculously not loaded with investigations and such.

while everyone else was just getting through the day, kunikida had returned from his own work, much to everyone's and dazai's surprise, carrying a large bag in one hand and a smaller bag in the other. it was quite amusing to see the young blonde man was struggling.

"woah, what'chu got there kunikida-kun?" ranpo inquired, poking at the large bag on the floor next to the blonde man.

"t-they're.. letters.." kunikida managed to say as he gasped for air with hands on his knees.

"letters? you mean work for us to do?!" exclaimed atsushi, whose mortified expression was mirrored by tanizaki.

"huh? no!" kunikida exclaimed, furrowing his brows, "they are love letters to dazai!"

everyone in the armed detective agency froze and practically screamed, "WHAT?!"

dazai's eyes lit up as he clasped his hands together, watching kunikida practically shove the massive bag of love letters towards him, "they're all for me? really?!"

"ugh, even until now, i still have the charms to lure ladies and gents!~" dazai exclaimed as he leaned back dramatically.

"that's an unusually large number of love letters," yosano's sweat dropped as she watched dazai open the bag to reveal more of the letters that were peeking out.

dazai chose the first envelope in the bag that had a "read me first!" note attached to it, and just by looking at it, he noticed that the handwriting was quite messy, which was appropriate for a child's handwriting.

he opened it right away and found his eyes widening in surprise, which somewhat alarmed everyone.

"what is it, dazai-san?" atsushi furrowed his brows in concern.

"it's from [name]-chan!" dazai exclaimed, his face bright and happy, waving the letter in the air as if he had won a million dollars.

"letters from [name]-chan?" kenji commented with a closed-eye smile, "aww, how sweet!"

"h-how?! [name]-chan wrote all of that?!" atsushi was in complete disbelief.

"happy valentine's day dazai-nii! sorry for not being able to go there to greet you and everyone myself," dazai read out the letter with a smile, everyone smiling in awe, "i've got you everyone letters though! the big bag is all yours dazai-nii, while the small bag contains everyone else's. all of the letters are written with love!"

"wow.. talk about favorites.." tanizaki chuckled softly and held the nape of his back as kunikida opened the smaller bag he was holding to reveal ten envelopes, each sealed with a barbie, baby shark, or pokemon sticker.

"of course, dazai-san would get more letters..." atsushi commented and patted tanizaki's shoulder as kunikida handed out letters to him, tanizaki, kyouka, kenji, yosano, ranpo, fukuzawa, naomi, and kirako.

"what else does the first letter say, dazai?" ranpo inquired, peering over dazai's shoulder with the others.

"[name]-chan said that the reason she couldn't come here was because her father had given her a temporary ban," dazai explained, his sweat and tone of voice dropping at his next words, "apparently [name]-chan had accidentally teleported to a world of human eating giants."

"is she okay?" kyouka clenched her fists, clearly worried about you, her little sister figure.

"[name]-chan is safe," dazai reassured the young girl as he read the letter, "her father just made her promise not to use her wiggly-woos magic for a little while, so she just sent us love letters instead."

"that's a good to hear, dazai," fukuzawa sighed in relief and placed a closed hand on his chest.

you expressed your heartfelt gratitude to dazai for looking after and loving you in the same way your adoptive father, gojo satoru, would, and as a result, you've always felt at ease with him and the rest of the armed detective agency. as dazai read your special valentine's day message for him, he couldn't help but giggle in delight.

dazai opened another envelope from the large bag meant for him and read its contents to the others, "hi dazai-nii! i'm at school today again but daddy's training gumi-nii, yuuji-nii, and nobara-nee today so i'm watching from the sides. i just saw gumi-nii faceplant and i can't stop laughing about it! it was really funny!"

"gumi-nii?" naomi cocked her head at the mention of an unfamiliar name.

"oh, that's [name]-chan's actual older brother," dazai explained, remembering you telling him everything about your family. "his name is megumi, but [name]-chan likes to call him gumi for short. yuuji and nobara, on the other hand, are megumi's classmates whom she sees as older brother and sister."

"oh! i didn't know [name]-chan had an actual older brother," atsushi commented, blinking.

dazai picked up another letter and read it, laughing, "hi dazai-nii! something funny happened today! i accidentally made yuuji-nii butt naked in front of the higher-ups with my wiggly-woos. i got in trouble though, but it's not too bad. daddy didn't give me kikufuku as usual for dessert after dinner as my punishment."

"she what?!" atsushi screamed as yosano, ranpo, and the others laughed and snickered.

"sometimes i forget just how powerful and funny [name]'s abilities can be," yosano continued to giggle at the story.

"but that is quite unfortunate however.." fukuzawa's cleared his throat, his sweat dropping at the mere thought of it.

dazai kept opening more of the letters you'd given him and reading them to the rest of the armed detective agency.

the next one after the wiggly-woos magic error was you telling him about the mama duck and her baby chicks you saw while strolling through the forest part of the school, or more accurately, running away from the sight of gojo satoru and his students because you did mention that everyone was frantically looking for you while you were simply watching the ducks. you even drew those ducks on your letter, or at least attempted to. it was completely unrecognizable, but you tried, okay?

"are you sure those are ducks?" kunikida squinted his eyes and adjusted his glasses, his sweat dropping.

"hey, now! don't shame [name]-chan's art! they're ducks if you look closely, kunikida-kun!" dazai elbowed the young blonde man before turning to kyouka, "it's a very good drawing, right kyouka-chan?"

"mhm," kyouka gave dazai a thumbs-up as she hummed in agreement.

"ah, kids," kunikida sighed, stifling a soft chuckle as he shook his head.

the following letters followed suit. you told dazai about the cartoon shows you watched, the food you ate, and the toys and clothes you received from your father and family members.

in fact, you told him everything that happened in your life, including you tripping and using your magic to help people in secret, and as dazai opened and read through them all, he soon realized that the reason you had sent him so many letters was because you'd been writing for him since the beginning of february, and it was exactly as you quoted,

"it's not everyday that i get to be in your universe to know yours, so i want you to get to know what being in mine is like," was what you wrote in the last letter that was in the bottom of the bag, "i've read your mind once dazai-nii, and well, i figured it would be a good try if i were to show you what living is like through my eyes. to get you to know what life is like for me here."

the next words at the bottom of the letter softened dazai's eyes, which were accompanied by hearts and a doodle of you and him together.

"it's the little things that makes life worth living, and i hope you know that me learning i can travel and going to your universe, meeting you and everyone there, and the rest of your other selves makes life worth living because i got to meet a family i never thought i'd have. it makes me feel like i'm never alone and that it is fate that made it happen. oh, and dazai-nii? i love you in every universe. happy valentine's day!"

dazai would be lying if he said he wasn't emotional. as expressive and comical as he was, it was unusual for him to be emotional, just as it was rare for him to be caught off guard.

nonetheless, dazai leaned back further in his seat, closing his eyes as he smiled and took in your final message in the last letter, and softly whispered, "happy valentine's day, [name]-chan. i love you too in every universe."

it wasn't just dazai who was overcome with emotion. the rest of the armed detective agency was, too, as they opened the love letters they received from you next.

as you thanked fukuzawa for looking after you, he was soft with how you see him as an uncle or grandpa figure. you even drew cats on his letter and told fukuzawa about the cats you saw in the park when you returned to your world. he did, however, started sweating with worry when you told him you would summon an army of cats if he so desired because you love him that much!

yosano thought it was very sweet that you saw her as a very cool auntie figure with whom you enjoyed hanging out and talking about girl-stuff. you also thanked her for tending to your minor injuries while visiting and playing in their universe, and you expressed your love with doodles of butterflies because they remind you of her.

ranpo, like dazai, was smiling the entire time he read your praises for him being the best uncle detective you ever had and how much you enjoyed solving mysteries with him. you even sent ranpo some of your favorite candy and chocolate with the letter he received from you.

the tanizaki siblings were in awe by your valentine's day letter. naomi and junichiro were both happy to read your appreciation for them caring for and loving you as if you were their little sister.

kyouka became shy when she discovered your letter for her littered with doodles of bunnies and hydrangeas. even if it was barely recognizable, she still loved it because you remembered her, and most importantly, she's extremely glad you see her as an older sister figure whom you admire and look up to. kyouka became timid of your compliments about her beauty and coolness too, however.

kenji thought it was very sweet of you to look up to him as an older brother figure you admired. you drew a bunch of farm animals like cows and chickens on his letter, similar to kyouka's letter, even if it was barely recognizable due to your exceptional drawing abilities as a child.

kunikida was flustered, caught off guard by your sweet words of love and gratitude for him, but he was extremely proud of being the uncle figure you could look up to and rely on.

atsushi was beaming brightly as he read your valentine's day letter to him. you thanked atsushi and expressed your love for him by drawing a tiger and many hearts on his letter. he reminded you of your yuuji-nii, so you told him how grateful you were to have a yuuji-nii in this world, and not than just a gumi-nii :)

last but not least, kirako was surprised that you gave her a valentine's day letter despite not being as close to you as the others and was merely a clerk there, but she was extremely grateful that you acknowledged her presence and her caring for you alongside naomi.

the armed detective agency fell in love with your personal letters for them and couldn't help but wish you were here with them so they could personally thank you and tell you how much they love you, their little sharpest detective.

however, it wasn't just the armed detective agency that got love letters.

the port mafia was no exception.

"uwaaah! a love letter from [name]-chan, my best friend!" exclaimed an ecstatic elise as she admired the pink envelope chuuya handed her.

as amusing as it was, the port mafia truly believed they were receiving death threats from an organization when a bag of letters was mailed. they were shocked to learn that you had sent them love letters—as if they weren't already criminals. goodness, you truly were an angel sent from above.

"i've got a letter from [name]-chan, too?" koyou cupped her mouth with her kimono sleeve as chuuya handed her an envelope, blushing.

"apparently so, ane-san," said chuuya, shrugging his shoulders and casting a glance at the siblings under the black lizard who was in the office with them, "chibi also wrote letters to tachihara, hirotsu, gin, and akutagawa, even higuchi was no exception."

"my, my, isn't that sweet of her?" koyou's eyes softened and she smiled as she opened the envelope and read your letter towards to reveal your valentine's day message for her, which was you thanking her for looking after you when chuuya was busy—for being an older sister or mama-figure you could look up to and love.

as they read your letter, the akutagawa siblings remained silent, not daring to say anything. gin was blushing behind her mask. she clearly wasn't expecting your kind and sweet words. in contrast, akutagawa ryunosuke was more surprised than impressed by the revelation that he resembles your actual older brother, fushiguro megumi.

"whaaat? all of you received letters from [name]-chan?" mori inquired in a dramatic tone as looked at his subordinates, "i don't have one!"

"serves you right, rintaro!" elise laughed as she pointed at mori mockingly.

chuuya shrugged off the port mafia boss and turned your letter towards him, and it wasn't long before he began to smile in awe. you wrote him a poem, or rather tried to because some words didn't exactly rhyme, but it was very sweet—how much you looked up to him and loved him as your chuuya-nii! what really made chuuya happy was when you declared him your favorite over dazai. chuuya was going to blackmail that idiot vagabond with this.

"happy valentine's day, chibi," chuuya murmured to himself, his blue eyes softening and adoring the doodle you made of him and you, "heh, i'll make sure to give you a small bouquet of your favorite flowers and chocolates when you get here as my thanks."

[ author's notes ! happy belated valentine's day everyone. hope you enjoyed reading this, i had fun writing it even though it took me a while due to my hectic schedule lol.

Body Swap

A/N: Hello! I'm back with another story idea. I got the idea of course from Your Name. I needed something else to write it was hard enough that I didn't post anything yesterday. SO let me know if you guys like this idea :)

Character Pairing: Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider) x Reader

MINOR Spoilers for ATSV, like super minor if you squint.

Description: You were hanging out in your room finishing off a book you needed to do an assignment on for school. You got bored halfway and lay the book flat on your face as you let out the biggest sigh. As you did a portal opened above your bed and you were mysteriously sucked into it. You went through this portal yelling as you did. You saw a white light at the end of the hexagon shaped tunnel and were thrown into another bed. You got up looking around noticing you weren’t in your bed anymore, you let out another yell only to not hear your voice but the voice of someone else. As soon as you stopped yelling you looked down at your hands and noticed they weren’t the same as yours, a big man with a bat came sprinting into your room who you didn’t recognise. You yelled once again and passed out from the shock.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Gw..” You heard a voice calling out a name, you didn’t want to wake up cause you were having the best sleep of your life so you pushed them away. They came back shaking you gently but you pushed them away again, one final time you felt a light push.

“Gwen wake up” You woke up at the name Gwen, you sat up in your bed and looked at the man leaning over you. You let out a yell at the stranger in your room.

“Woah hey it’s just me, its Dad” You curled up at the end of the bed and looked at this gentle soul who had blonde hair. He was not your dad, your dad was super dead and you definitely saw pictures of him not having blonde hair.

“What’s going on Gwen you look like you’ve seen a ghost” Who the heck was Gwen? Why did he keep calling you Gwen. You held your finger up to him and promptly got out of bed running over to the closest mirror. You walked up to it and almost yelled again but thought against it. There was your consciousness currently looking at an unfamiliar body you had never seen before. You ran your hand through your hair and realised it was cut short, you checked out the body properly and saw the half shaved head.

“Gwen are you okay?” You completely forgot about the random man in your room, well not your room but in your presence. You stood up straight and turned around.

“Uh yes…Dad I am ay-okay! Why wouldn’t you think that?” You stood there, stiff as a board, the fakest smile you had ever mustered and he just looked at you.

“You know you can tell me anything right?” He said in a typical parent fashion, you smiled and nodded your head, he sighed and got up leaving you alone in the room. As soon as he closed the door you dropped the smile and ran around finding anything you could, opening any drawers, doors, closets, cupboards. Anything you could find to figure out where you were and who you were, you felt a bit bad trying not to go through anything private but also this was an unusual situation to be in and you believed the person would understand. You came up to a drum kit and out of your eye you saw one of the screws were slightly loose. You walked over too it and loosened it a bit more, you were shocked to see a uniform and a picture of this Gwen person and someone else. You put the photo back but looked at the costume next to it.

“All unit, requesting all units we have a break in down town.” You heard a radio going off and then heard Gwen’s dad yelling from the lounge room.

“Sorry honey gotta pop out for you know, ill be back later tonight okay! Just in case there’s $20 on the counter for dinner” Her rushed out of the room and closed the front door behind him, you poked your head around the corner and saw the $20 sitting there. You went back into your room and heard the same radio going off.

“All unit’s there are 5 armed robbers, confirmed 5 armed robbers proceed with caution” You knew that Gwen’s dad took his radio so you knew that Gwen must have had one stashed in her room, sure enough it was placed in a soft toy sitting on her shelf. You grabbed the costume you saw in the drum kit and saw the Spider Mask.

“I had a feeling this Gwen was a spider too” Just to triple check you jumped high with your fingers pointed upwards and your eyes slightly closed you waited for the ground to hit your feet but it never came. You opened your eyes and sure enough you were suspended in the air with your finger tips sticking to the roof.

“Cool! Okay it might be a little different from you back home but they will have roughly all the same abilities right? Like I should be able to do this” You put on Gwen’s suit (Respectfully) and placed the mask over your face.

You awkwardly made your way out of the apartment and went to shoot webs from your wrists when you realised nothing came out and you started plummeting to the ground. You let out a loud yell and managed to catch one of the fire escapes on your way down.

“Okay so she can’t swing? I find that hard to believe let me head back up” You walked back up the apartment sticking just fine no issues, when you climbed in you say the makeshift web shooters and grabbed them.

“Bro this would suck to worry about, like what if you run out of web” You put them on and they fit perfectly, you tried again first by shooting a web and it came out successfully. You hit the button a couple more times to see that it unhooked.

“Okay cool once to shoot twice to cut it, alright I got this” 2nd Attempt was much more successful however as you were flying through the air you weren’t use to this body, yours was a bit bulkier so you had more mass to move around with where as Gwen was not small just not as heavy as you so when you threw your legs to swing you over estimated the momentum and threw yourself a bit further than you were used to.

“That’s okay we’re learning! We got this, we need to go save those people” You headed towards the scene of the crime, you spotted the cars moving around and landed on the building next to them but on the roof so you couldn’t see them. You could see Gwen’s dad was barking orders organising everyone.

“Of course he’s the captain, wouldn’t be a Spider story without some sort of twist” You dropped down near them and walked right up to the officers.

“It’s alright guys I got it from here” You tried to walk pass with no issues however the entire police force turned around and raised their guns at you.

“Don’t move Spider-Woman” You held your hands up confused, but then remembered this isn’t your world this is another world where it sems that the cops did not like you co-operating. “Sorry Gwen” You said quietly to yourself and then leapt into the air swinging away from them and towards the bank robbers.

“Sorry Officers, didn’t mean to tease, ill be right back after I’ve done your job and saved everyone” Okay so they hate you and Gwen’s father clearly has no idea who she is so we have to keep it like that. Even if this is a dream you never know, it might not be.

You made your way into the bank crawling on the ceiling, you took in your surroundings and found the 5 bank robbers, you could see that they had taken some hostages too, women and children. As cliché as it is it seems like an elementary school decided to pick today to go on a field trip to the bank. You rolled your eyes at the irony but began crawling around a bit to see if you could get a better angle.

“Alright pack those bags and move them over here, the cops are going to escort us out of here and we’ll be home free” As you surveyed the area you tried to slowly pick off each of the guys that were below one by one, you would follow them, web them and knock them out before they could alert anyone else.

As you kept doing that you managed to get 4 out of 5 of them, the last one being the boss who was barking orders and standing right next to the hostages. “I know you’re there Spider-Woman” He said holding his gun up towards the ceiling, even though you had a BRIGHT WHITE costume on you still managed to use your stealth technique and hide well in the shadows. He couldn’t see you, you scurried closer to him know you had to do this quickly so no one would get hurt.

You shot a web onto his chest and pulled him towards ou, the shock of you being so bold threw him off and he dropped his gun, you knocked him out with your fist and then stuck him to the ceiling where all his other buddies were. You dropped down towards the hostages and ran over untying them.

“Thank you Spider-Woman” They all said as they were all untie and let go out of the building, you follow them out not so far behind and then began thwipping away towards Gwen’s apartment. You smiled from ear to ear on a successful mission and absolutely loved the feeling of being a Spider no matter what dimension it was in.

You landed in Gwen’s room quickly taking off her costume, putting it away and hiding all her spider related stuff. You laid back down on her bed, you let out a small sigh and held your hands in front of your face.

“Well Gwen whoever you are we smashed it today so yay! I wonder if theres anyone I need to tell or talk to about it?” You checked her phone and saw that she had a couple of photos of that same person that you saw in the drumkit but also a couple of photos of another boy who had glasses. You went through the contacts lists and her messages to see if there was anyone you spoke too regularly. The last message you saw was from a Peter Parker dated 1.5 years ago saying “I can’t wait to see you at prom” and then nothing else, there were calls from her dad and texts from her dad but apart from that nothing else for awhile.

“Gwen, don’t tell me” And sure enough you did the one thing you shouldn’t do and that’s look up your name on spoogle (Google in this dimension), you looked up Spider-Woman, you looked up Peter Parker and were met with a horrible event.

“Spider-Woman killed Peter Parker” You shook your head refusing to believe that knowing that the media had decided to pin the blame on that boys death on someone. Apart from Peter’s death there was lots of articles, rumours, typical Spider-Woman stuff on there. You turn off the phone and placed it back down on the bedside table.

“Gwen, I am so sorry” You laid in bed for a bit longer, your breathing started to get even and your eyes started to droop. You felt your body disappear and so did all your surroundings. Soon enough you felt yourself starting to grown conscious again, opening your eyes you got up looking around frantically.

“I’m back in my room” You said out loud looking at the colours, the posters you had laying around and your clothes thrown exactly how you liked them around your room.

“Oh so it was a dream” You got up ready to start your day in your body and you were slightly happy that it was over, you were a bit disappointed though in finding out it was all a dream, you wanted to see if you could help out that imaginary person you made up. You walked into your bathroom and got a proper look at your face. You yelled as loud as you could, looking over your face all you saw were bruises, scrapes, scratches and cuts.

“No what, last thing I remember was falling asleep in bed reading that stupid book” You frantically ran around your house looking for signs, you stopped and jumped on google looking up your Spider name only to see embarrassing videos of you failing completely to apprehend your Doc Ock.

“Could this day get any worse” You sighed holding your hands in your head, as you hid away from the world your Aunt entered the room folding her hands across her chest.

“Do you want to tell me whats going on” Your body shivered at the sound of your Aunt coming into the room, you looked towards her and could see she was mad at you.

“Ah it depends can you tell me what I did yesterday” Her anger dissipated as quickly as it came and she ran over to you.

“Who’s Gwen?” She asked crouching next to you, you held your head once again not knowing how to tell your Aunt this but you swallowed your fear and looked at her.

"I'm not too sure myself A/N all I know is that shes lonely and she needs help" You said looking at your Aunt again

“Look Y/N, I don’t know whats going on, but if this is real and she comes back what are we going to do” You shrugged your shoulders not wanting to think about this problem anymore. A small part of you was hoping you were right, hoping that you got to be her again because in your heart it was like you could hear hers calling out to you. That she needed help.

“I don’t know what we’re going to do but all I know is that we need to be prepared and plan for when it happens, but I am going to need your help” She nodded and hurried back to making you breakfast, you got up looking at your face once again wincing.

“Gwen, wherever you are, I hope your okay”

Masterlist

You stood there, your heart pounding in your chest as the woman’s words echoed in your head; Carl’s been shot. A million questions began to flood your mind, but you couldn’t bring yourself to voice them. It felt almost as if the air had been sucked out of your lungs.

“He's still alive but you've gotta come now.” The woman continued, but Lori didn’t budge. “Rick needs you, just come!”

Lori looked back at you for a moment and without thinking, you nodded for her to go. She turned back to the woman, nodding as she climbed on the back of her horse.

“Woah!” Daryl called out. “We don’t know this girl. You can’t go with her.”

“Rick said you had others on the highway, that big traffic snarl?” The woman asked, ignoring Daryl.

Glenn nodded. “Y-Yeah.”

“Backtrack to Fairburn road. Two miles down is our farm.” The woman clutched the reins of the horse tight in her hands. “You'll see the mailbox- Name's Greene.”

With that, the woman sped off the way she’d come. You watched as her and Lori slowly disappeared through the trees and bushes. If there had been room for another on that horse, you would’ve gone with them. It had been seconds and not knowing what was going on was already killing you.

The walker that had attacked Andrea began to groan, slowly sitting up. The woman hadn’t killed it.

Daryl shook his head, shooting the walker in the head with his bow. “Shut up.”

You took a deep breath, running your hands through your hair. “Let’s keep going, it’s going to start getting dark any minute now.”

…

“Shot?” Dale asked. “What do you mean shot?”

Your group had finally made it back to the highway, reconnecting with Dale and T-Dog. Glenn was filling Dale in on what happened.

“I don’t know, Dale. I wasn’t there. All I know is this chick rode out of nowhere like Zorro on a horse and took Lori.” Glenn shook his head.

“You let her?”

“The hell was I supposed to do?” Daryl scoffed. “Rick sent her. She knew Lori and Carl’s names.”

You nodded, shifting your feet. “She told us where to find them. They have a farm not too far from here.”

“We should head there then.” Dale spoke.

“Absolutely not. We can't just leave!” Carol argued. “I won’t do it.”

“Carol, the group is split.” Dale explained. “We’re scattered and weak.”

“What if she comes back and we’re not here?”

Andrea nodded. “If Sophia found her way back and we were gone, that would be awful.”

Daryl’s eyes fell on you, your silence catching his attention. At this point, you were too tired to argue and you couldn’t see a situation where anyone won. You didn’t want to pull people away from looking for Sophia, but all you really wanted was to be with your family.

After a few moments, Daryl let out a harsh sigh. “I say tomorrow morning is soon enough to pull up stakes. Gives us a chance to rig a big sign and leave her some supplies. I’ll hold here tonight, stay with the RV.”

“If the RV is staying, I am too.” Dale spoke.

Carol smiled, her eyes swelling with tears. “Thank you. Thank you both.”

“I’m in.” Andrea spoke up.

You looked at Carol, your eyes softening. “I’m sorry, Carol. I want to help you find her, but I need to go find the farm. I need to make sure my family is okay.”

Carol nodded. “I understand.”

“I’ll stay here with the rest of you.” Glenn spoke up.

Dale shook his head. “You should go with Y/N. Take Carol’s Cherokee.”

“Why do I have to go too?” 

“Two of you is safer than one. You need to reconnect with our people and see what’s going on but most importantly, you need to get T-Dog there. His cut has gone from bad to worse.”

“What exactly does worse mean?” You asked.

“He has a very serious blood infection. Get him to the farm and see if they have any antibiotics.” Dale spoke. “If not, T-Dog will die, no joke.”

Daryl raised an eyebrow, turning to his motorcycle that was just a few steps away. “Why’d you wait until now to say anything?”

“What, do you have a secret pharmacy that we don’t know about?” You asked.

“Basically. I’ve got my brother’s stash.” Daryl began to rummage through the motorcycle, pulling out a bag. “Crystal, X— don’t need that. Got some kick ass painkillers.” Next, Daryl pulled out a prescription bottle. “Doxycycline. Not the generic stuff neither. Its first class. Merle got the clap on occasion.”

Daryl tossed the bottle to Dale, who eyed it with excitement before rushing off to give some to T-Dog.

“Mind if I take that with us?” You asked.

Daryl shook his head. “It’s not like Merle needs it anymore.”

You frowned, thinking about all the loss your group had faced in just a few short days. So many people you’d come to know, even if you didn’t like them all. Most of all, family. Merle, Amy, Sophia and now Carl had been shot. You couldn’t bear the thought of losing him.

T-Dog exited the RV with Dale’s help, who led him towards Carol’s Cherokee. Carol handed Glenn the keys, and he climbed in the driver’s seat.

“You remember what direction the farm is in? For tomorrow.” You asked.

Daryl nodded. “You still got your gun?”

“Of course.”

“Good. Be safe.”

You nodded, a partial smile creeping across your lips. “You too.”

…

“So, do we ring the doorbell?” Glenn asked as you slowly approached the farmhouse on foot. “I mean, it looks like people live here.”

“We’re past this kind of stuff, aren’t we?” T-Dog asked. “Having to be considerate.”

You shrugged in response when you heard a familiar voice.

“Did you close the gate up the road when you drove in?” Sitting on the porch in the dark was the woman you’d met earlier. 

“Uh, Hi.” Glenn choked. “Yeah, we closed it. Did the latch and everything.”

The woman nodded, leaning forward in her seat. “I never introduced myself. I’m Maggie.”

“Nice to see you again.” Glenn smiled. “We came to help. Is there anything we can do?”

Maggie’s eyes drifted to T-Dog’s arm, her smiling quickly fading.

“It’s not a bite. I cut myself pretty bad though.” T-Dog spoke.

“We’ll get it looked at and I’ll tell them you’re here.” Maggie responded, standing up.

“We have some painkillers and antibiotics. I already gave him some.” Glenn spoke. “In case Carl needs some.”

“How is Carl?” You asked. “Is he-”

“He’s alive.” Maggie assured you. “It's touch and go, but he’s hanging in.”

You smiled, nodding to yourself.

“Come on inside, I’ll get you guys something to eat.”

Maggie led you into the house and it didn’t take long for you to spot Rick and Lori. Maggie headed into the kitchen while you approached your brother.

“I’m so sorry.” You blurted out.

Rick shook his head, pulling you into a hug. “It’s okay. It's going to be okay.”

“We’re here, okay?” Glenn spoke.

T-Dog nodded. “Whatever you need.”

“Thank you.” Lori tried her best to muster a smile.

You pulled away from your brother and immediately pulled Lori into a hug. It took a few seconds for it to register for her, but Lori hugged you back just as tight.

Glenn and T-Dog headed to the kitchen while Rick and Lori led you into another room. Carl laid on the bed, motionless. The sight of blood on the sheets caught you off guard. You never could’ve imagined seeing Carl in such a position.

“If they don’t get back soon, we’re gonna have a decision to make.” An older man spoke.

“Who?”

“Shane and their man, Otis.” Lori explained. “They left to get a respirator.”

“What decision would that be?” Rick asked.

The man hesitated for a second. “Whether to operate on your boy without it.”

“You said that wouldn’t work.”

“I know.” The man nodded. “It’s extremely unlikely, but we can’t wait much longer.”

“Where did they go?” You asked. “I can go there, help them if they’re trapped.”

“We don’t need more people getting separated.” Rick responded. “Shane will be back, I know he will.”

You sat down next to Carl, grabbing his hand in yours as a tear fell down your cheek. His life was in Shane’s hands, and you weren’t sure how to feel about that after everything.

…

You’d just finished your sandwich when panicked screams began coming from the other room. You jumped from your seat, racing in to find Carl having a seizure.

“What’s happening?” Lori asked.

“It’s a seizure.” You responded as Rick reached out to hold him. “Stop! If you hold him down, you could hurt him.”

“We can’t stop it?”

The older man, who you had learned is named Hershel, shook his head. “He has to just go through it. His brain isn’t getting enough blood. His pressure is bottoming out. He needs another transfusion.”

Rick nodded. “Okay, I’m ready.”

“If I take any more out of you your body could shut down. You could go into a coma or cardiac arrest.” 

“What about me?” You asked. “We have the same blood type. I’ll do it.”

Hershel looked at Rick, who quickly nodded. You held out your arm and Hershel started the process. In no time, you were watching as blood flowed out of your arm and into the tube connecting to Carl.

“Thank you.” Rick spoke, smiling slightly.

You smiled back at him, nodding. “It’s what we do.”

“Y/N was a nurse, before the world fell.” Rick looked at Hershel.

“Do you think you can assist when the time comes?” Hershel asked. “It’ll be good to have someone else here who knows a thing or two.”

“Of course,” You responded. “Anything I can do to help.”

“I’ll get you some orange juice, keep your sugar up.” Hershel smiled, exiting the room.

“How much longer do you think we can wait for Shane?” Lori asked, her voice in a whisper.

You shook your head. “I don’t know, maybe another hour?” 

Lori placed her head in her hands. “This can’t be happening again.”

Rick looked at his wife, then at you. You could still remember sitting in the waiting room with Lori, waiting to hear news about Rick. You couldn’t believe that was just over a month ago.

The room remained silent, allowing you to get a few moments of sleep at a time. You kept waking up each time you heard any movement.

Hershel entered the room again, looking over Carl. “He’s still losing blood faster than we can replace it. With the swelling in the abdomen we can’t wait any longer or he’s just going to slip away. I need to know right now if you want me to do this, because I think your boy is out of time. You need to make a choice.”

“A choice?” Lori asked.

“A choice.” Rick responded, his eyes fixed on his wife. “You have to tell me what it is. You have to.”

Lori thought for a moment. “We do it.”

Hershel sprung into action, giving orders to anyone in the room. Carl was lifted onto a table and you stuck close by, still giving him your blood. Patricia, one of the farm hands and Otis’ wife, held Carl’s IV bag.

“You two might want to leave the room.” Hershel spoke, looking between Rick and Lori.

As the words left his mouth, the sound of a car approaching filled the room. You could see the headlights shining through the windows, bouncing off the wall behind you.

“Oh God.” Rick gasped.

Hershel looked at you and Patricia. “You two stay with him, I’ll be right back.”

Shane had arrived just in time, allowing Hershel to perform the surgery with the respirator. By the time the surgery was over, Carl’s condition had stabilized. You’d learned that Otis had died out there, Rick and Hershel breaking the news to Patricia after the surgery was over.

Carl no longer needed a transfusion, so you found yourself outside on the porch just staring up at the stars. You’d never felt so exhausted in your life, both mentally and physically. 

In that moment everything you’d been through in the last month finally began to sink in. Once the tears began to fall, they wouldn’t stop. You could barely catch your breath, clutching your chest with your hand. Sitting there in the dark, you couldn’t help but wonder if you’d made the wrong choice leaving the CDC that day.

Sunset Savannah’s Tamashina-Mina – Episode 2 (Part 2)

Following is part 2 of my translation of Episode 2 of the Tamashina-Mina event. This part contains episodes 2-3 to 2-6. This concludes Episode 2.

Spoilers after the cut!

Episode 2-4

Kalim: Woah. So these are the outfits we get to wear for the tournament. They’re so cool!! And they’re super easy to move around in.

Lilia: I agree. Ah, now I’m wishing we could go play Catch the Tail right now.

Vil: This is a wild look imbued with nobility and brilliance, and one that will serve me well as my ally in battle. What I’m seeking here with this piece is the sense of the wild in its rawest form, where you’re able to enjoy nature itself without any gaudy adornments getting in the way. I can already tell this outfit is going to be an indispensable partner for me during the tournament. ...All that to say I've never tried out clothing like this before, but it's not bad at all.

Kalim: Honestly, I didn’t really understand half of what you were saying just now… But I really like the vibes we got going on. Just wearing these clothes makes it feel like there’s a bunch of power welling up inside of me!

Lilia: And this mantle here will protect me from direct sunlight. What a lifesaver!

Kalim: Yeah, covering yourself up actually helps keep you a lot cooler than when you go around bare skin.

Lilia: At any rate, you pull off that outfit wonderfully, Vil. Same as you always do.

Kalim: For sure! You look just like a model!

Vil: It’s not that I look like a model.

Kalim: Huh? Oh, yeah! That’s right! I was just trying to say that you look really good.

Vil: Of course I do. And you also look very stylish yourself, Kalim. You’re always wearing a bandana, so that one looks very natural on you.

Kalim: I’m happy to hear it! I tried tying it a bunch of different ways.

Lilia: The way I’m wearing mine is super cute too, don’t you think? Come take a look-see.

Vil: Yes, it’s distinctively Lilia-esque.

Lilia: No matter what I wear, I end up looking good. Oh, to be a devilishly handsome young man such as I! And this bandana looks like it will help ward off heat exhaustion. It’d be an insult to Jack if we end up falling victim to the same fate as he did.

Leona: Sorry to keep ya waitin’.

Kalim: Oh, you finished getting changed, too. You look totally awesome!

Lilia: Your outfit is even more magnificent than ours.

Leona: Yeah. That’s 'cause instead of being a tournament contender like you guys, I gotta serve as the leader of the Sunset Warriors.

Vil: You look great, as expected. I knew out of all of us, this outfit would look the best on you.

Kifaji: Indeed. Fine feathers make a fine bird, as they say.

Leona: Thanks for all the compliments. These outfits…. the “Beastly Attire”, they use the lion that was called the King of the Beasts as a motif. In other words, it’s clothing that was made to be worn by members of the royal family. Of course I look good in ‘em.

Vil: What he’s saying is true, but it’s still pissing me off.

Kifaji: Does Lord Leona act in such a manner even at your school? Oh my. What a truly decorous prince you’ve grown up to be.

Kalim: The pattern that’s on the mantle is great. I love stuff like this.

Leona: Fabric’s been a big deal in Sunset Savannah for a long time now. We’ve developed techniques for embroidery and color dyes, and for weavin’ patterns into the fabric.

Lilia: The design is great and the outfit itself will protect us from the harsh sun. Just one good thing after another.

Vil: And what are these masks?

Leona: They’re used for Catch the Tail. I’ll give ya’ll the down-low once we start practicing.

???: Sorry to keep ya waiting! I got changed, too!

Grim: What do you guys think? Looking cool, right? These are the duds they gave me and Yuu.

Yuu: We’re matching!

Lilia: You two are both wearing ribbons, I see.

Kifaji: Though they won’t be competing in the tournament, they are still Lord Leona’s school companions. I had these ribbons prepared for them so as to not be discourteous.

Yuu: How do we look?

Leona: Well, ya don’t look weird or anything.

Vil: Leona’s right, you don’t look out of place at all. You two look very charming standing next to each other like that.

Kalim: I’m so happy we all get to wear the Beastly Attire together! I wanna show Jamil, too.

Leona: You can show him all ya want after the competition is over. If you’d like, I’ll even let ya take those outfits back to school with ya. I’m sure Jamil would be just delighted.

Kalim: That sounds great! I’ll go ahead and do that, then. Thank you!

Vil: This isn’t going to be pretty. 

Lilia: Oh, dear. I can already imagine him prancing around all happily as he shows off his new clothes to poor Jamil.

Kifaji: You all look splendid in those outfits. It was worth going through all that trouble getting them prepared at such short notice.

Lilia: If you hadn’t shrunk Jack’s outfit with magic, it would have been much too baggy for Kalim. That would have been so cute to see, him in those oversized clothes. Well, not any cuter than lil ol’ me, of course….

Vil: Yes, yes. We understand that you’re very cute. More importantly, we all need to thank Kifaji for preparing these outfits for us.

Kifaji: You needn’t thank me. What I did is just another part of my job.

Leona: Was callin’ me up the other day and remindin’ me about the festival another part of your duties as chamberlain?

Kifaji: Naturally? When you failed to appear at last year’s festivities, Lord Leona, it turned into quite the problem for Lord Falena. It is my duty to relieve our Lord of any distress that might befall him, so please do try not to cause him any bother.

Leona: That’s why I showed up, isn’t it? Ya might wanna try sayin’ “thank you” for once.

Episode 2-5

Kifaji: Regardless, for Lord Leona to bring along his school companions with him like this… I was a little surprised. I hadn’t the slightest idea that he's been so busy fostering friendships with the other students at Night Raven College.

Vil: Fostering friendships, huh… I wonder, are we even really all that close with Leona?

Kalim: Of course we are! Leona is our friend!

Lilia: Kufufu. You heard him, Vil.

Vil: Ah, is that right? Then we’ll leave it at that.

Kalim: Okay! Now that we’re all finished changing, let’s start practicing Catch the Tail now.

Leona: Kalim…. You really wanna practice duking it out in the hotel or something? We got a place to practice at already, just gotta wait a little while until we can go use the arena.

Kifaji: Might I suggest we do a little sightseeing in Sunrise City in the meantime?

Grim: Yeah, that’s a great idea! I bet we’ll be able to get our hands on some tasty food.

Kalim: Huh? But wouldn’t it be bad if we all go out and have fun while Jack’s not feeling well?

Kifaji: Master Kalim, Hakuna Matata.

Kalim: Haku… What’s that?

Leona: Hakuna Matata. It’s this real convenient phrase that’s been passed down in this country over the generations. It means ya shouldn’t take things so seriously. Hakuna Matata! Hah! Got a nice ring to it, huh?

Kifaji: There you go twisting things again. This is an important matter, you know. Anyways, even if you all were to stay here, fretting and mulling about, it's not as though Master Jack’s condition would suddenly improve as a result. And if you let this trip go to waste, I’m certain he would blame himself for it. I find it more prudent that you all enjoy yourselves to your heart’s content, so that you can come back and tell Master Jack all about the different things you saw and did.

Vil: You’re right. We should leave Jack in the doctor’s hands.

Grim: Exactly! And I’m starvin’ here!!

Lilia: Then it’s settled.

Kifaji: Please allow me to act as your official Sunrise City guide today.

Kalim: Thank you, Kifaji!

Grim: ‘Kay, let’s go get us some tasty grub already!!

Vil: Oh, good. There’s not a cloud in the sky. Fine weather for sightseeing.

Leona: Fine weather for you maybe. Everybody here prefers when it's rainin'.

Vil: Do you guys get little rain here?

Leona: It ain’t like the annual precipitation is low or anything, it’s just that we pretty much don't get any rain outside of the wet season. During the dry season, the people here will all be super anxious for it to rain again. That’s why we go over the top for the Tamashina-Mina festival, ‘cause we’re prayin’ for the rain to come.

Kalim: Hey, look over there! They got a fountain!

Vil: It’s very cool looking. I like it.

Leona: They built that thing not too long ago. Sunset Savannah doesn’t have a national water service, and Sunrise City’s the only place they've been developin’ the infrastructure at. This fountain here’s a symbol of that. Seein’ as water and sewer services are cornerstones of public health and all.

Kalim: Oh, wow! What’s that statue in the middle of the fountain?

Leona: …..It’s a baboon celebratin’ the birth of that lion cub.

Kifaji: To my knowledge, the sculpture is based off an anecdote from the age of the King of the Beasts.

Leona: Back then, when the heir to the throne was born, apparently the whole country came together for this grand ceremony. And that’s what this sculpture was based off of.

Kifaji: The baboon depicted in the sculpture was the top shaman in all the land, and the infant he’s raising up into the sky is the newborn prince. The animals gathered together around the fountain are celebrating the prince’s birth.

Vil: I see.

Kifaji: This statue was constructed five years ago to commemorate the birth of Lord Falena’s son. We held a lavish ceremony upon its completion, but Lord Leona was not in attendance.

Leona: Oh, really? I don’t remember that. And ain't it boring just standin' here lookin' at this thing? C’mon, let’s go somewhere else.

Episode 2-6

Grim: Woah! They got stalls of all different colors at this place!

Leona: This is Raintree Market. It’s a bazaar.

Grim: Oooh, I can’t wait any longer! Let’s hurry up and eat something already!!

Kifaji: At any rate, how about we start off with some refreshments?

Vil: Good idea. We understand very well now just how dangerous it is to take the weather here lightly.

Lilia: Indeed. We should all be sure to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.

Kifaji: I shall go fetch your drinks for you. What would everyone like to order?

Lilia: I’d love a glass of tomato juice.

Leona: Don’t think I ever seen that sold here before.

Lilia: Ah, I was fearing you’d say that…. And here I’d been hoping to enjoy some locally made tomato juice. Then maybe I'll try some of that red-colored juice they’re selling over there instead.

Kifaji: That is hibiscus juice.

Grim: Hibiscus! …What’s that?

Leona: It’s a type of red flower that grows here. You can find 'em growin' in the wild, and there's also some places that cultivate ‘em.

Kifaji: The juice is made by boiling the calyces of the flower together with a bit of sugar.

Vil: It’s certainly an unusual drink. I’ve never had it before.

Lilia: The way you’re describing it, I do believe I’ve had it before. It was a long time ago, and I can’t even remember anymore how it tasted. Was it delicious, or was it rather not very good…

Vil: Well if you can’t even remember, then why did you choose it?

Lilia: ‘Cause it’s red.

Vil: ….Don’t tell me. It’s not that you like tomato juice, you just like drinks that are red?

Lilia: Hmm. Who knows?

Vil: And what should I have, I wonder. Looks like a lot of the stalls are selling a white-colored juice.

Leona: That’s juice made from the baobab that grow wild here. According to legend, a long time ago, whenever a new member of the royal family was born, they’d celebrate by paintin' the newborn’s forehead with the juices of the baobab fruit. 'Cause of that, it’s become a local specialty in Sunset Savannah. No tellin’ how much truth there is to that old legend… But, I mean, the juice doesn’t taste bad. It’s filled with lots of vitamins and it’s high in magnesium. People call it a “drinkable beauty serum”.

Vil: Is that so? I’ll give it a try, then.

Kifaji: My personal recommendation is a beverage that’s made from a mixture of baobab and hibiscus juice.

Vil: Oh, they have something like that?

Kifaji: Yes. The legend that Lord Leona spoke of, about how they would paint the baby’s forehead with the juices from the baobab fruit… It was said they were using a red colored juice.

Kalim: Huh? But the juice made from the fruit is white, though?

Kifaji: Indeed. In reality, the juices of the baobab fruit are white in color. It appears that as the legend was passed down through the ages, some parts of the story got a bit embellished, shall we say. And over time, the color of the juice they spoke of eventually changed from white to red. Because of that, more and more establishments have begun selling baobab juice mixed together with red hibiscus juice.

Leona: It’s just like I was sayin’. No tellin’ how much truth there is to those old legends.

Vil: Well now that you’ve said all that, it suddenly sounds a lot less appealing… But I am interested in its beauty effects. I’ll take the mixed juice.

Lilia: Me, too. Being able to enjoy a refreshment that has so much history behind it makes this whole trip worthwhile.

Grim: It looks yummy, so I choose the mixed juice, too!

Leona: Me, too. The quicker we can get this over with, the better.

Kalim: I, umm….Aah….

Leona: Quit stressin' out about it so much. The second prince of Sunset Savannah’s gonna be drinkin' this stuff, too, ya know.

Kifaji: That’s right. I spoke with Master Jamil earlier concerning your safety and whatnot. I’ll be sure to inspect the drinks beforehand, so you needn’t worry.

Vil: As expected, your consideration for guests of the state is truly immaculate.

Kalim: Thank you both! Then I’ll get the same mixed juice as you guys.

Grim: What’ll you have, Yuu?

Yuu: Same as you guys, the mixed juice.

Grim: No surprise there! Nyahaha, I can’t wait.

Kifaji: So it’ll be six glasses of juice in all.

Kitafi: I do apologize for the wait.

Kalim: Guys, let’s all raise our glasses together!

Lilia: Do let’s! And could we also snap a group photo, as well?

Vil: Pictures of me don’t come cheap, you know…. Hah, normally I’d say something like that, but Rook did ask me to send him some photos. It’s fine with me. Okay then…

Everyone except Leona: Cheers!!!

(Leona starts drinking his juice instead)

Grim: Hey!! Leona started drinkin’ his juice without us!

Vil: You’re seriously coldhearted, you know that?

"Alright little princess, are you ready?" The broad grin on Zoro's face looks almost crazy. His eyes narrow with confidence as you walk back onto the ground.

"How impatient Mr. Swordsman."

You give him a quirky grin, finding it funny how eager he is to fight you. He's very much like Ambrosios. If you don't consider their appearance, they could be siblings…

Maybe they're soul mates? lol.

Before you enter the field, you walk over to the others and Ambrosios who is lying on the meadow with his eyes closed. As you reach for his sword, he quickly grabs your arm, still with his eyes closed.

"What are you doing, my princess?" he looks at you with his one eye open.

"I need a sword, what does it look like, you dummy?"

The huge man straightens up and shakes his head slightly.

"No, no, no. Princess. That sword is far too heavy for a delicate woman like you…"

What? He treats me like a princess, of course, but he has never doubted my strength...

"Tzz a delicate woman like me can still be as strong as a man!" A little offended but with a grin on your lips, you swing the broad sword in the air and spin it like a basketball on your finger.

He doesn't answer you, he rather confuses you with his laughter as he leans back.

Around you, you hear the people express their amazement.

"Woah y/n, you're totally the surprise! And your outfit too." Nami gushes at you. You blush a little as you look down at yourself and sink the sword, which is actually as big as you are, into the ground. No one has ever complimented you on how you look in your training outfit.

Of course, people admire you for your beauty and you hear this so much, that it makes you sick…. But you're much happier to receive a compliment when it's about clothes you like, than the compliments you get when you wear tacky dresses.

"Okay, I bet y/n wins!" she adds. Luffy growls in disbelief that Nami isn't betting on Zoro… After all, they are a crew.

She just shrugs her shoulders and everyone starts laughing when she said, that she has to bet on the safe horse.

Finally, you and Zoro face each other. His stance is firmer than when he fought Ambrosios and for a while, you stare into each other's eyes.

Ambrosio's sword lays casually in your hand, leaning over your shoulder. You will not be the first to attack. Will he?

Without even taking his eyes off you, he draws his swords. His blades flash at you, but you wait.

"Oiiii Zorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooo!!! GO!" Shouts the strawhat impatiently.

Since you're so easily distracted, you look over at the boy.

A mistake.

The green haired man takes advantage of your carelessness and rushes towards you. Much faster than before.

Caught off guard, you look him in the eye when he is just a few centimetres in front of you. You barely manage to block his attack, but you quickly catch yourself.

It's still no trouble. All it takes is a snap of your fingers and you disappear right before his eyes.

Puzzled, he looks around but there is no sign of you.

"Up here, swordsman!"

His gaze went straight up and there you are, flying towards him like a falling comet. In mid air, you strike out and swing the massive blade. The force of the sword triggers a powerful shockwave that could shred everything. But Zoro is quicker and manages to dodge. The pressure from the impact spreads through the surrounding area, even the spectators have to hold on tight.

No problem. I still have a few aces up my sleeve.

You think to yourself as you watch him try to gain distance.

Over and over again, your swords were clashing. Zoro would never admit it, but he definitely underestimated you. His face shows the struggle.

But you also have something you would never admit. Ambrosio's heavy sword is slowly getting on your arms.

You wanted to use your skills as little as possible, but Zoro also had a few tricks up his sleeve that you didn't expect. Zoro is definitely too close for you, you're not much of a close range fighter and need distance. With a snap, you again teleport away from Zoro, but it doesn't take Zoro long to figure out where you are. He has realized that you can teleport in seconds, if not faster he guesses, but your range is not very wide. He quickly changes direction when he sees you and comes running towards you.

"Cut!"

You take a swing with your sword and an invisible cut races across the meadow. Possibly faster than a cheetah. Zoro makes the smart move and dodges. If that cut had hit him, he would have instantly froze, just as the plants froze when the blade whipped across the ground.

But Zoro doesn't allow himself to be defeated and uses another remarkable attack.

He creates a whirlwind in which he catches you and you cling to the hilt of the sword in panic. You can't see anything around you, your hair swirls around and into your face.

With your eyes narrowed you try to catch a glimpse of Zoro but to no avail. With another cut, you slice the tornado in two and the tornado freezes as well. You let yourself fall and see Zoro jump up to you while you are still falling.

While you were in the tornado, he seems to have released another attack, because it looks like he has three heads, six arms and nine swords. You squint your eyes to check if you are still dizzy from the tornado but when you open your eyes again you still see him in this form.

His body language is menacing, tickling a murderous grin inside you.

He respects me.

Then show him everything he wants to see!

You teleport again, but this time directly into the tornado and thrust a dagger into it so you don't fall.

Normally the tornado is just air, but anything that comes into contact with your ability changes its physical structure. The cracks in the tornado caused by the dagger flash golden and shimmer as if you had cut through space and time.

You know that Zoro will follow you…

You seize the moment before Zoro appears and let your sword disappear into your space and time dimension, before teleporting it back.

Zoro breaks through the frozen tornado and a few sparkling fragments fall to the ground.

He pauses for a moment as he sees you dangling around without your sword, but your knowing grin causes him to charge at you again. Maybe you've lost it?

You snap with your free hand, but instead of teleporting, Zoro's tornado disappears into thin air. This, of course, means that you have no more support and you fall into the depths. As you fall down, you pass Zoro and wave cheekily at him.

He looks at you in surprise but follows you into the depths.

Just before you hit the ground on your back, closely followed by Zoro, you teleport in the air again, but this time with your sword in your hand.

Zoro reacts in a matter of seconds on the ground, which collapses around his feet, looking straight up into the air as if he had sensed you appear above him.

His gaze narrows as he looks up at you.

Once again you take a swing with your sword but let it go. Zoro tried to block it, but before his blades can block Ambrosio's sword, you froze it. Zoro didn't seem to expect it and that's exactly what you were hoping for.

With the surprise comes your victory. You take advantage of the brief moment of carelessness and surprise. A victorious smile forms on your lips.

"Fast forward." You speak confidently.

The sword moves towards Zoro with lightning speed, so fast that it can barely be seen with the naked eye. Zoro doesn't stand a chance and Ambrosio's sword hits him on the cheek. Light as a feather, you land on the ground in front of him. With a casual expression, you approach the green haired man, who stands before you with his mouth wide open.

You close his mouth and heal his wound before he fully comes to himself.

Zoro accepts his defeat and bows slightly to you. He is aware that you only injured his cheek because it was a friendly fight… You certainly could have hit him directly and killed him on the spot.

You enjoyed the fight very much and return the bow. Together you walk back to your audience, which is visibly stunned. Only Thalia and Ambrosios cheer like crazy cheerleaders. Okay, only Thalia cheers like a cheerleader, but Ambrosios applauds and gives you a knowing nod.

A little out of breath, you sit back down with your friends. Of course you didn't have to exert that much force, since you only fended off most of Zoro's attacks, but all that freezing is sapping your powers.

"Woah, y/n you're so fast… well apart from your teleporting thingy…." Nami gets close to your face. "You don't have a single bead of sweat on your face!" she adds, surprised.

You laugh nervously as you look at the broken Zoro, lying on the grass, regulating his breathing.

"Yes, because I've hardly done anything…." you confess in a shy voice…

"Hardly done anything?!" Zoro looks at you weirdly, his voice a little shrill at the end as he's still struggling with his breath.

"Yeah… no wait, that's not what I meant." You collect yourself for a moment. Sure, you clearly won because you're stronger, but that's not what you were trying to say.

"I meant to say that I didn't really do anything physically. I can handle a sword, yes, but I'm definitely not as physically strong as Ambrosios or my uncle." - "Oh come on my princess, you're great with a sword and strong." - "Stop always praising me like that, just because I'm the princess Ambrosios!" you stand up angrily and find yourself quite puzzled when you realize how startled the others look at you. Only Thalia and Ambrosios look at you with gentleness in their eyes.

Urgggh don't do that!

Frustrated, you sit down again, you know he only means well, as this has always been a point that made you question things… Why are you the only one? That's a question you've always asked yourself.

"The Taimutaimu fruit only gives me an obvious advantage… but you are indeed strong. Your willpower gives you a strength that I can only imitate." You wrap your arms around your legs, smiling a little as you realize how envious you sound, but you don't mean it in a bad way, you just envy it. You admire it.

"What do you mean y/n?" Nami asks you a little confused, having trouble following your monologue.

"She means the haki." Ambrosios answers for you.

You don't look up… your eyes remain fixed on your feet, which you rub together a little nervously.

"Ahh the Haki." Robin intervenes.

"So you know it?" She nods at him.

"Good… There are three different types of Haki that can be used and two of them are trainable since everyone has Haki. The Kenbunshoku, Busōshoku are trainable and the untrainable is Haōshoku."

"Haōshoku? So the Conqueror's Haki?" - "Exactly." nods Ambrosios to Law, who was leaning against Bepo, listening intently to the conversation the whole time.

"Everyone on Tanata can use all three Hakis, it's never been the case before but y/n can't even learn the ones, that everyone can learn…. y/n has no Haki in her body."

The mood became serious but it's nothing new to you, it's just a little uncomfortable how all eyes are on you.

"No Haki?! But how is that possible?" Robin asks somewhat perplexed, the usually calm woman seems to be interested in this unusual phenomena.

"We don't really know ourselves, because y/n has a very strong will and her soul is pure, otherwise the oracle wouldn't have predicted that she would become the devil fruit user…." The Tanata warrior is suddenly interrupted by the blonde who pushes herself into Robin's field of vision

"Okay Ambrosios, that's not entireeeeeely true." Her eyes and yours meet, she waits for your approval before continuing.

You have no problem with that and nod at her. They already know so much now, and if you're honest, you'd think it's unfair to leave them to their own curiosity now.

"There was a 'Chosen One' a few centuries ago… He was soooo strong that he was somewhat feared, but since the user of the Taimutaimu fruit has a pure soul, they never gave in to the fear." Thalia speaks the words like a little story, the others listen intently, Luffy lies on his stomach and dangles his legs in the air.

"Go on, tell the story!" Ikkaku shakes Thalia. You have to laugh even if it makes you sad.

"Even if the user of the Devil Fruit can't become king, he did. But he wasn't a king, he was a tyrant and the worst years in Tanata's history followed, until his long awaited death." - "Oh my God how dramatic." Nami is stunned and drinks some wine to calm down.

You hold out your empty glass to her and, without looking away from Thalia, she pours you some.

"Oh yes… After his death, the oracle never again predicted who the next user would be and for aaaall those decades there was no one to fulfill Tanata's task." - "Tanata's task?" Law interrupts your friend but she shakes her head

"That's information that none of the citizens of Tanata know. Only the oracle, the devil fruit user and the royal family know what the real purpose, for example, of y/n is." - "We can't reveal it, I'm sorry." You confirm Law.

He seems a little disappointed, but he shows you his understanding.

"I understand, everyone has secrets they don't even share with their closest ones." His eyes pass between you and Thalia.

He's right, not even Thalia knows it… who usually knows EVERYTHING. Not even with her you've shared this knowledge.

Thalia clears her throat before speaking again.

"At that time, people said it was the punishment of the gods that no new devil fruit user is predicted anymore, because the oracle receives a vision purely by chance. She does not see the user but scrolls and the current oracle confirm that they hear a voice telling them very specific details of the devil fruit user. If another person were to eat this devil fruit, he would die on the spot, because the gods only want someone with a pure soul to be the bearer." - "And that's the point, that's nonsense!" Groans Ambrosios, annoyed.

"People say the gods punished us back then? For what? For choosing someone who didn't have a pure soul? That's not our fault and ESPECIALLY not y/n's!".

Ambrosios seems a little upset and if you look at it that way it sounds logical, but Tanata is a very religious country.

"But how come you can't use Haki?" Nami doesn't understand the context.

"Probably so she doesn't get too strong…" Law recognizes the big picture.

"Exactly." Ambrosios and Thalia speak at the same time.

"Woah woah woah, it's all pretty complicated…" Nami holds her hand to her temple "...So to recap; there was an evil devil fruit user, the gods were pissed off about him, didn't choose anyone for years and then?" - "And then there was a prophecy that shook up the kingdom." Thalia takes over the conversation again.

"It was predicted that Hera would give birth to a child, one that would never learn Haki, and this child would be allowed to use the devil's fruit."

All eyes are on you. A mixture of wonder and pity spreads across the faces of the others.

The history lesson is a little nerve wracking for you and you groan a little.

"Yup, and that kid was me. The gods must have realized that the task had to be performed again, so they chose me with restrictions."

Silence fell for a while….

"Hmmmmmmm, I don't think you seem that restricted!" Luffy's boyish manner made you and the others laugh, Zoro grinned at his statement and nodded at you.

That gave you the feeling that he wanted to tell you that the strawhat was right.

"I think you could be even stronger than that guy back then." Your eyes quickly go over to Law, who is still leaning against Bepo and looking up at the blue sky.

"Thinking about how you use your ability, I can tell you that strength isn't everything. You are smart and use your power well. I don't believe in gods but I think you do, so let me tell you one thing…" You swallow a little hard, your heart beating faster as Law took his time to say the next words.

"I don't think the gods wanted to punish you, I think they wanted to give you the opportunity to awaken the full power of the Taimutaimu Fruit without being blinded by strength." His gaze continued to look upwards.

His words make you feel quite different. The blush rises to your face, as well as the tears. You feel a little stupid, but you are still happy about his words, because it doesn't sound that implausible.

Maybe the gods just didn't want you to be distracted by strength. The meaning of the Taimutaimu fruit is so much more than just power and strength. You're just so ashamed that you've never thought of it that way and still let it affect you, that you're not as strong as the others.

"I've never thought of it that way." You say, almost happily, as the tears roll down your face.

The girls around you rush straight to you to comfort you. Even Law took his eyes off the sky when he heard you sniffle softly.

"You know princess-ya, I think the gods want you to be the wisest, not the strongest."

A sentence you will never forget.

A/N: Wheeeew… I think writing about fights is kinda dull and hard. I'm glad it's over. lol.

The rest made me a bit emotional.. you know? about being the wisest and not the strongest. My heart - urksss.

See you next time, kiss kiss ♡

Y/n was on a mission to hunt down Kraven the hunter after their dad's police communicator went off with the location of him, their dad had an interesting view of Spider-Man. One of which Y/n didn't agree with, they reached the location of Kraven seeing all the destruction he had caused.

"Tread carefully." Y/n thought to themself.

As they swung into the building they made sure to web the officers to the cars to make sure they don't get hurt.

"Sorry officers !!" Y/n spoke in a deep voice as to not alert their dad.

Once inside they scoped out the building making sure no one else was inside or hurt, whatever kraven did he sure did a number on the place, But as they were investigating their spider-sense started to tingle.

"Spider-man !!!!" A thick russian accent yelled out.

Y/n then dodged an incoming boulder that Kraven attempted to crush them with and leapt to the wall.

"Woah woah easy their crocodile hunter." But as y/n looked at him, something was different. this was not the Kraven they knew.

"Another spider ???, no matter you'll die like the rest !!!"

A fight ensued with this Kraven and y/n, a copycat was all you could think of.

Then a loud bang was heard and Kraven turned around, your dad had freed himself from the web to stop kraven.

"Officer get out of here it's too dangerous !!!" y/n yelled out to him.

"you !!!!' Kraven then lunged himself at y/n's dad and tossed him like a ragdoll despite his best attempts, he hit the concrete rubble really hard causing a big thud to be heard.

"No !!!!!" Y/n then swung and knocked back Kraven temporarily knocking him out, they rushed over to their dad and helped him out of the rubble, but it didn't look to good, He looked like he was growing weak by the minute. without thinking y/n slipped off their mask.

"Dad no no no, I'll find help ok just stay with me !!"

"Shhh Shhh It's ok y/n......"

"Dad hang on !!!"

Their dad gently and shakily brought his hand to their face gently caressing their cheek. Tears filling y/n's eyes.

"Dad......"

"My little superhero......" Y/n saw the life drain from his eyes, the next he was gone. Devastated y/n froze, their dad gone. It was then they were tossed away from him as Kraven has recovered.

"Now you !!"

"oh yeah ??" y/n got up and another fight ensued, landing punch after punch, after kick after kick. they were angry and sad. this Kraven took their dad away from them. He had to pay, you did get a fair beating too. it wasn't until this Kraven started to glitch out that he was then restrained, You took such a heavy beating that your body couldn't even continue anymore, the last thing you saw before you passed out was 3 people, one with a red and blur silhouette, a woman and another person with a hoodie.

Later:

Y/n woke up to the blinding lights and a machine beeping, as they gently sat up a doctor quickly came to their side. She looked a spider person.

"Your awake, just take it easy you've put a good fight" the spider doctor gently laid you back down.

"Where.... am I ?"

"Your in the hospital other spider kid" the man in the blue hoodie came up to him. he had long blond hair and was really muscular.

Y/n's spider sense went nuts as did the person's

"Your.. like me.."

"And I thought my past was weird" the man does some emo hair flip.

"Name's ben or the scarlet spider."

Y/n then noticed a bracelet on their wrist and tried to take it off.

"I wouldn't do that, it'll make you all glitchy like that kraven."

"what ??"

"Miguel will explain, He has told me but I was distracted by my biceps."

"Right.."

Y/n got up and followed Ben outside, they were shocked to find what they saw, many many many spider-people

"What is this place ??"

"Spider-society" a woman followed you and ben, Y/n then noticed she was pregnant

"Your.."

"I know, we don't know the gender yet. we want to keep it a surprise, come on now Miguel is waiting for you."

The three then reached the main building of spider-society and went into an dark almost empty room

"Miguel their here" jess called out

a platform was slowly coming down to reveal the same red and blue silhouette like last time, the platform was still moving ever so slowly.

"Uhhhh"

"I know its slow but its kinda his thing." ben said before the platform fully stopped and Miguel turned around.

"Hey kid, your awake"

"What am I doing here ??"

"Obviously we couldn't leave you out their. with your injury's and everything. but also you have questions about what happened."

"How did you.."

"I know a lot of things kid, Lyla do the thing."

a small hologram of a woman came up near Miguel's shoulder."

"Huh what thing ??"

"Wha, what do you mean what thing, the information explaining thing."

"Oh right."

The entire room darkened further and then a small droplet like hologram slowly came down.

"What is this ??"

"This.. is everything"

As Miguel finished that word, the droplet hit the floor and bloomed a tree like system before turning into a system of red strings, almost forming like a web.

"This is everything, all of our lives woven together like a beautiful web with life and destiny."

"Woah...." Y/n was in awe of what they are seeing

"It's called the arachnid humanoid poly multiverse, which sounds.... long and stupid"

Y/n noticed a screen on the web that showed multiple spider-people.

"They are the canon, chapters that are apart of every spider's story, every time. Some good, some bad, some very bad."

Miguel then brought a small orb in his hand and the web's went upwards, Revealing all the different spider people who lost their loved ones, including y/n's dad.

"My little superhero.." the hologram said

"Dad..." tears filled your eyes

"This one, event ASN-90, a police captain close to Spider-Man dies saving a kid from falling rubble while fighting a nemesis."

The hologram replayed the events, seeing this Spider-Man broke y/n's heart.

"This happened to you ??"

y/n turned around to ben after seeing his hologram, he looked saddened by it.

"And me." jess spoke up

"That's how story is supposed to go, the canon events are the connection that binds our lives together and those connections can be broken, And that's why anomaly's are so dangerous, like how you experienced with that kraven. he was a threat to you universe."

the webs then disappeared and the room lit up again. y/n grew sadder and slightly angrier

"So.... your saying.. my dad's death.. was a canon event"

"Unfortunately yes, even if you tried to change it, it wouldn't help in the long run. Believe me kid I tried" Miguel's voice suddenly turned cold.

"So I just had to watch my dad die for the sake of the multiverse !!!"

"y/n calm down.."

"No screw all of you !!"

y/n immediately ran outside, tears now flowing down their face, blurring where they ran. they then leapt off the balcony and began swinging around spider-society. They found the tallest building and landed on the roof, letting out the most heartbreaking scream.

Miguel didn't seem bothered by how y/n bolted out. yes they lost a loved one and it was a canon event, the multiverse would collapse if something happened. Ben and Jess were worried for y/n, they have experienced something like this.

"Uhhh boss don't you think you should check on them ??" ben said

"They'll be fine ben"

"Miguel come on" jess spoke up

"Why me, why not you two ??"

lyla then popped up again.

"They've lost a father figure, you would understand that !!'

"Don't you ever bring that up !!!" Miguel yelled

"Miguel... just check on them"

Miguel pinched the edge of his eyes and started muttering in Spanish.

"Fine fine, lyla find y/n"

"On it boss"

On the rooftop:

y/n was sitting on the edge of the balcony scrolling their phone through videos and photos of them and their dad.

"I gotcha daddy !!" a video your dad sent you when your grandpa recorded you acting like a superhero and him the villain, you were no more than 5 at the time.

"Come here my little superhero." your dad smiled and brought you into a tight loving hug. loving and protected. now you had no one. you were on you own.

They heard a slight thud and footsteps approaching them.

"Kid...." Miguel gently sat beside them

"I don't want the whole he died for a reason for the sake of the multiverse."

"It's not that"

"Then what do you want !!!"

"I.... I came to check on you"

y/n stopped and then gently looked back out into spider society, going quiet again.

"y/n... I get it, I..... I lost my daughter. I know what its like.

they gently looked at him

"She said I was her whole world, I would do anything to see her again. but I can't."

y/n remained quiet as he explained.

"If's theirs anyone who understands this the most it's me, And I may not look like it but...... If you need someone to talk to I'm here"

"thanks Miguel" y/n nodded and looked back out into the distance.

Miguel then looked at y/n and hesitantly patted their shoulder, Y/n started to feel at ease with Miguel's presence.

"Give me your hand" Miguel gestured them to do so

y/n then held out their hand for Miguel to place a device in their hand.

"This is a dimension traveling device, but its also a welcoming, y/n I know your lost right now but i want to give you a place to belong"

"Miguel..." y/n looked at the device

"Welcome to spider-society y/n"

y/n then gave Miguel a big hug, he tensed up for a little bit but slowly relaxed into it and wrapped his arms around them. Miguel felt something he hadn't felt in a long time, all he knew is that he will help and train y/n to become the best they can be. To look after them when things were getting rocky. y/n felt happy that they made a good friend, one who will pick them up when they fall. this was the start of an amazing friendship.

Lovelight

Pairing: Marcus Pike x GN!Reader, established relationship

Word Count: 2k+

Warnings: Being aggressively in love with Marcus Pike, light use of pet names, getting almost stood up, feeling of romantic inadequacy, just a teensy bit meta, The Wizard of Oz spoilers?

Summary: Even the worst of days are made better with your boyfriend Marcus Pike around

A/N: Another one down for my Year of ABBA as part of the "Year Of" Creations @yearofcreation2023 February edition!!! I've been on a Marcus kick so here we are!

It was a miserable day. A long, terrible, tiresome day. Even your room, your personal sanctuary, felt dreary and gloomy. The wide window offered no comfort either. The rain falling over D.C. clouded the skies. The whole world looked dark from inside your apartment. You let out a sigh of exhaustion; surrendering to the comfort of your bed. As you stare up at the blank old dirty ceiling, a soft knock is heard from the door.

"Babe?" The voice calls, slowly unlocking the door.

You perk up at that voice. Marcus…you smile to yourself, realizing your partner is at the door. Finally, using the spare key you'd given him ages ago.

"I'm here! Come on in." You call back to him.

You sit up on the bed, and make your way over to the door. The two of you practically bump into each other as you meet in the narrow doorway. Marcus looks as perfect as ever. Nicely clean shaven, hair just a bit tussled from the day, in his usual black suit and blue button up combo, a beautiful bundle of flowers in his hands.

"Woah!" Marcus says, trying not to knock you over. "Hi Baby," he says cheerfully, "I heard you had a bit of a day so I uhh thought I'd surprise you." A big smile overcomes his face as he tilts the flowers towards you. "Tada!"

Your eyes shift down to the bouquet. You find yourself giggling at the barcode still peeking out from the top. Imagining Marcus running out from the office to the corner store to grab these. Still, the colors are vibrant. Your favorite. The smell is bright. As you gaze back up at Marcus, the whole world feels brighter too.

"Do you like them? Sorry I couldn't go to the usual florist but I-" Marcus rambles on.

"No." You answer with a smile, taking the flowers in your arms. "They're perfect. You're perfect."

A tinge of red flushes his cheeks at your statement. "Far from it but I'm glad you like them. I also-" he reaches around the still open door to grab a bag from the hallway, "got take out! It's your favorite." He smiles bashfully. Suddenly concerned he'd gone a bit overboard. "I hope it's okay."

"You really are perfect, huh?" You tease, pulling him in and shutting the door behind him.

"I try." He concedes with a shrug. Moving the take out over to your table. Carefully pulling the food out of the bag.

You go to the kitchen, grabbing a vase and filling it with water. Dropping the bouquet in and rushing it over to show Marcus. "Look how pretty they are!" You can't help but smile at them. They fit perfectly. Suddenly, you could ignore all the old stains on the table top.

He chuckles at you, "They look good in here." He agrees.

You inhale, getting a sniff of the food. "That smells so good!" You exclaim, taking your seat across from Marcus.

"Ugh you're telling me! I had to stop myself from just eating it all in the car." He laughs, taking the plastic utensils in his hands.

You eagerly dig in. The flavors hitting your tongue like a firework. It was so rich. Cooked to absolute perfection. Though you know it had likely been some fifteen minutes of waiting in Marcus's car, it was somehow the perfect temperature. "Oh Marcus…I swear the food is never this good when you're not there! Are you sure you're not tipping off the chef or something?"

He scoffs, smiling at the absurdity. "Babe, the first time I went there was with you. There's no way I would have been able to do that."

You squint your eyes at him, a look of fake suspicion on your face. "I'm onto you Agent Pike."

"Yeah yeah," he rolls his eyes, taking another bite of his dinner, "eat your food!"

You continue chatting through dinner, airing out all of the day's frustrations. To which Marcus dutifully listens. He then goes on to talk a bit about his day. Nothing exciting, just writing up reports on his latest sting. Though he just so fails to mention how he left most of them piled on his desk when he heard of your bad day. Still- you cling to every word. At times it felt like Marcus could be talking about nothing at all, and you'd still be totally fascinated about it. Eventually you both finish. Marcus is quick to insist on cleaning up. Claiming as he always did that he had "brought the mess over" and therefore was responsible to clean it. Knowing that fight was yours to lose, you allow it. Watching from the table as he neatly stacks the takeout boxes before throwing them in the trash.

"All done!" Marcus claps his hands together celebratory. "Any ideas for how you'd like to spend the rest of the night?"

You pause to think, "Maybe a movie?"

He smiles with a nod. "Sounds good." He pulls on his tie, loosening it from around his neck. "Do you mind if I change first?"

"Be my guest. Your clothes are in the second drawer where they always are."

Marcus rounds the corner to your bedroom to change. You take the opportunity to get comfortable on the couch. Your body sinks into the soft cushions. A relaxed sigh leaving your body as your hands trace over the smooth material. Everything felt so cozy.

"This look alright?" Marcus steps out into the room giving you a spin. A white V-neck t-shirt on, paired with his comfy grey sweatpants.

You smile up at him, he just looks so snuggleable! "You look great. Now, come here!" You reach for him with outstretched arms.

Marcus, never one to keep you waiting, is quick to join you on the couch. Sitting besides you, pulling you into his chest in a tight embrace. "Alright, what are we watching?"

"No clue." You shrug.

"Channel flipping it is!" Taking the remote in his hand, he begins scouring for something to watch. "Ohh here's something, The Wizard of Oz?"

You watch him with wide eyes. A sense of sentimentality taking over you. "That's the first movie we saw together."

Marcus pauses for a moment, remembering. "Yeah…it is, isn't it? Though, I think we missed the opening of it."

"Which was your fault by the way!"

"Traffic was bad!" He defends.

You can't help but tease. "Excuses, excuses!" You huff as the memory of that date.

You stood impatiently on a corner downtown, across from the movie theatre. Tapping your foot and struggling to stop yourself from sending another text asking if Marcus was standing you up. It'd been about ten minutes since the movie started, and another twenty minutes since Marcus was supposed to have been there. Suppressing the tear in your eye, you bite the bullet and turn to head home. A hand grabbing your waist from behind to stop you.

"Wait-" the man pleads with a voice you recognize, Marcus. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. The traffic was so bad and I- I got here as fast as I could. I didn't see your texts until I was here. And I-" he pauses.

You turned slowly, with half a mind to tell him off for almost making you cry. But you can't. As soon as Marcus was in view, all your frustrations disappeared. It didn't matter that he was late. Only that he was here. And that those big brown puppy dog eyes were all yours again.

"Fuck-" he cuts himself off, leaning in to kiss you unable to resist the urge.

You relax even further into his touch. His hands still on your waist pulling you closer. Your hands wrapping around his neck, holding him to you. "Marcus…" you murmur softly, pulling away briefly.

"I'm sorry." He repeats against your lips. "I should have been here." He kisses you once more, pulling you tight against him.

Suddenly, the traffic seemed to get a little lighter.

"Marcus?" You grab his attention, your mind focusing back on the present. "What happens in the beginning anyways?"

"Of The Wizard of Oz?"

You answer with a nod.

"Well. We start out in Kansas with Dorthy who just got out of school. She's just kind of going about her day. Running into a whole little cast of characters that make up the main cast. A mean neighbor who's the witch. Lion, scarecrow, and the tinman are this group of guys who work on the farm. So on and so on. Same as the end of the film. She sings a little song and then a tornado happens. And we're in Oz!"

"There's a transition, right? When the movie switches into color?"

"Ah yes! That's the really cool part! After the tornado, she opens the door and the world outside is in color. I looked up how they did it but…it kind of ruins the magic." He says with a guilty smile.

"I know the feeling. Of Dorthy I mean. That feeling of the world suddenly being in color.'

"Yeah?" Marcus prompts you, asking for more.

You lean into his ear, with a low whisper, "The same feelings I get being around you."

He playfully pushes you off, "Okay now you're just teasing." His cheeks red with embarrassment.

"I'm serious, Marcus." You wrangle your way back into his arms. "I felt horrible earlier, but there's just something…when you're around…I don't know. My days are just so much better. It's like this aura? Or vibe?"

"A lovelight?" Marcus offers.

"Love-light?" You repeat.

"Yeah, you know…like the ABBA song?" He sighs and begins to half heartedly sing, "You must have a lovelight, everything around you is lovelight."

You chuckle, Marcus's affinity for old media never failing to entertain you.

"You've gotta know that one!"

"I do, I was just hoping you'd sing it for me." You smirk, knowing your plan worked.

He laughs, hiding his face behind his hands. "You got me."

You smile at him, moving his hands to plant a soft kiss on his lips. A smile tucked into each of your faces. "I like it." You quietly say into the kiss.

"Like what?"

"Lovelight…it fits." You nuzzle against his cheek. "You light up my whole world, Marcus. All the things you do. The things you say. Just the way you are. Everything around you is…lovelight."

His face goes red at your turn of affection. "You like it? It's not too much?" Insecurity creeps up his neck. He knows previous partners had felt suffocated by his attentiveness. But if you really liked it maybe…

"Yes. I love it. It makes me feel good. Being with you feels right. Everything about you is right." You lean, gently pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Don't let anyone dim your lovelight, Marcus."

Under you, Marcus anxiously bites his cheeks. His sweet dimples popping in and out as he tries to hide a smile. His eyes, dancing around to avoid catching yours. Though he has lots to say, "I love you…" is all he manages to vocalize.

You smile into his jaw, "I love you too Marcus. Now, I believe we have a movie to watch!" You relax back down at his side.

Marcus flashes you a quick grin. "To Oz we go." He says as he turns on the film.

The rest of the night is peaceful. Full of behind the scene facts from Marcus, and snacks you'd been saving for moments like this. After the film ends, you're both quick to agree to turn in early. Both you and Marcus are tired from your day, and know the next will be equally as tiring as well. Marcus takes his place in bed beside you, turning off the bedside lamp.

"Goodnight Baby." He gives you a soft kiss before tucking himself under the comforter.

"Goodnight Marcus." You return his notion.

As you get comfortable under the covers, you notice something. With Marcus around, even that old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter.

comic store crush |

 Jay x gn reader 🛼

SORRY THIS TOOK ME LITERAL MONTHS LMAO, I HOPE YOU ENJOY 

It all started with Jay entering the comic book store one on an average Monday afternoon.

you’d just clocked into your shift, standing behind the counter watching people come and go. the blue ninja walked into your store, from what you hear he was a regular. his usual purchase was the latest Fritz Donnagan comic issue. He came in once a week at least, usually around the mornings, surveyed the figures and arcade games, purchased his comic and left.

You watched with little interest as he begins his routine. it was the same thing every day. the only interesting thing about today was he came in later than usual. you’ve never been on the clock when he came in late.

the blue ninja rushed to the stands for the new comic, only to find it was sold out already. “aw man ! you’ve got to be kidding me!” he exclaimed, clearly distraught over it. “yeah, you should have come earlier” you said, “the build up for this one’s release was big, there was a crazy amount of people here” you knew that because you arrived early to purchase a copy for yourself. you were too big on comics but figured this would be a good place to start, so you snagged one while you had the chance.

“Do you guys have any left anywhere?” he asked, hoping desperately there was one left for sale. “no,” his shoulders sagged, “but we’re getting another shipment in by thursday if you want to come early for that. Or i can save you one” you offered.

immediately he brightened up, “Really?” he asked, feeling it was too good to be true. “yeah, just don’t tell anyone” you said, lowering your voice and looking around “we’re not really supposed to do that”

jay nodded with understanding, a serious look on his face. “I see..can you save me one then? i’ll come in whenever your in to get it and pay!” he said, barley containing the excitement in his voice. he may be bummed that he can’t get it today, and he’ll have to avoid any and all spoilers until he got his hands on it, but he was still excited that he could get it.

you nod, looking at him clearly. freckles ran across his right cheek, over his nose bridge and to his left cheek. some went lower and were more sparse, like they got separated from the group. and others went higher, on his forehead and the sides of his eyes. they all varied in pigmentation, from a few shades darker then his skin, to several shades darker. they created an intricate artwork along his face.

his mouth was quirked up in a goofy smile, his lips a warm rosy shade. they were freckled, too. a single dark freckle lay on his lower lip, just by the corner.

his eyes were bright and optimistic, his excitement making them shimmer under the fluorescent lights above.

“oh, yeah I can do that for you. I just need your name?” you said, plucking a sticky note from its pad, and a pen from the cup to your right.

“it’s Jay! Jay Walker!” he said proudly. “well it’s nice to meet you, Jay Walker, i’ll save one for you. i’ll be in friday if you want to pick it up then?” you tell him, revising your work schedule in your head. “oh and saturday, both in the evenings” you recount, waiting for his response of which day he prefers.

he hummed, tapping his foot in thought. “I think…” his eyes wandered to yours, “i’ll come for it Thursday!” he decided shortly. with a thank you he left the counter to survey the figures and merchandise.

Thursday rolled around, and you were waiting behind the counter bored. you started your shift half an hour ago, but Jay hadn’t shown up yet. you were beginning to think he wouldn’t show up at all- until of course, he came barreling in through the front glass doors.

Jay stumbled up to the counter, sweaty and out of breath. “Woah, what happened to you man?” you asked, concerned. He was red in the face, his hair damp and frizzy. not to mention he smelled..

“Oh, you know, saving people and stuff” he huffed out, bent over. it took him a few minutes to regain his composure and to be able to stand up straight. “i’m sorry i’m so late” he apologized, wiping his face with his hand.

“it’s okay, i got your comic” you spoke softly, turning to look for the mini fridge under the counter. you duck down and pop back up, a cold bottle of water in hand. “here, you look beyond thirsty” he took it graciously, downing half of it quickly. “Thanks! I really was thirsty!” he sighed, taking a deep breath. 

you set the plastic wrapped comic on the counter, scanning the back of it. “4.99″ you smiled, looking back from the register to him. jay was staring, and seeing this caught you off guard. your felt your face get a little hot, staring back at him. he smiled, a small, goofy looking smile. he handed you a slightly damp 10 dollar bill, grimacing a little at the state of it. 

“thanks so much for holding this for me again!” he grinned. “not a problem,” you replied, turning to scrawl something on a sticky note. you folded it up as he watched from the other side of the counter, confused. you shakily passed it to him, “open it outside” you smiled.

jay smiled, and after another round of thanks and a goodbye he left. wou waited anxiously on your stool, waiting to see what he would say. 

half an  hour had gone by without a text, or a call. you worried he didn’t feel the same. how could you be so stupid, you asked yourself, forehead against the cool glass of the counter. deciding your fate was made, you sighed. maybe you would mope about it all day, and when you got home you’d eat ice cream and move on. 

until the ding of your phone pulled you back to your senses. 

‘I think you’re cute too, I’d like to get to know you more :)’

and another ding, 

‘sorry that took so long, got caught up fighting more bad guys >_<’

[syrips]

thinking about the poll/post (omg i found it!!) asking about if strahd would be a vampire ascendant and i decided to ramble about it along with other random things because dont mind if i do indulge!! hehe

shoutout to @/thecatslug for inspiring me to colorcode my rambles because oh my god i love colors. also sorry the color code might not make sense its just syrips color coded my brain likes it gfdgdfg

ravenloft / bg3 spoilers below:

so, im not sure if the question meant 'would strahd be considered a vampire ascendant' or if it meant 'could strahd become a vampire ascendant', so i decided ill try to answer this: would strahd be considered a vampire ascendant? sorry if this wasnt the original question i just wanted to ramble honestly

before we get into the fancy nitty gritty stuff, let's take a look at the details of four main things apparently i cant count heh, get it, count? anyways im not fixing that four sorry numbers are hard

Vellioth the Martinet

Baldur's Gate's Master Vampire List

The Black Mass Scroll As A Whole

Cazador and Jander (what?)

Strahd

-----

Vellioth the Martinet

so, random fun theory that no one asked but i just wanna ramble it. did you know that 'vellus' means fleece or wool?

just gonna leave this here. unrelated to anything else btw i just wanna ramble it.

random wiki stuff:

"vellus / villus / veillier = fleece, shaggy tuft hair, wool villi = in france, to watch over martinet = wikipedia: 'in English, the term martinet usually refers not to the whip but to those who might use it: those who demand strict adherence to set rules and mete out punishment for failing to follow them.' vellus hair = 'peach fuzz'"

🩸✨💛 random theory no one asked for 💛✨🩸

vellioth has hair with:

color range: peach (fuzz) to wheat blonde

length: medium to long

type/shape/texture: curly to kinky; 'shaggy/woolly sheep' texture

anyways back to the actual stuff.

... hi.

so! the narrator/cazador describe Vellioth as 'ancient', or at least they call his skull ancient? which is very strange to me for two main reasons. Vellioth isn't old. and i know, 'but syrips, you say everyone isn't old because strahd's a big old dusty super elder!.' and yea. hehe youre right. but for now, just remember this - Vellioth was Baldur Gate's Master Vampire from 1204 DR to 1276 DR. this will be important in a moment, not even because of the age, but because what ill describe below.

-----

Baldur's Gate's Master Vampire List

so. one thing that i see thrown around a bit, is that people may assume that the vampire list left by Lady Incognita is based on birth and death or other stuff, but! i will clarify it a bit:

the title of Master Vampire does not mean the previous one's destruction or death. it only means their defeat upon someone else taking the throne. sure, they may occur at the same time, but one can take over without killing the former.

the master vampire list is a self-proclaiming title, and one that others can attempt to contest

each city/point of interest has their own master vampires fighting in their own little territories. we only see those of baldur's gate. not of waterdeep. not of other towns or cities or locations. if you're feeling the vtm clan vibes/drama, then youre absolutely right! cazador penpalling another master vampire to brag about his master vampire status in baldur's gate is both him bragging and him potentially preparing to claim other places once he ascends

the master vampire title gives no actual vampiric, magical, or physical power. it's an entirely a social construct, in the most literal way possible. it provides social influence, social intimidation, etc. but, it's just like putting on a mundane tiara. grats, i guess.. its shiny at least-

anyways, this stuff is mostly put down just to say - nothing about this "Master Vampire" status is about ascension, power, and/or 'special abilities'. it's a moot point/status. which leads to why the master vampires need other ways to gain power.. which is why.. woah! cool transition to-

The Black Mass Scroll As A Whole

if you got this far then thanks for reading. sit up and hydrate because it's time to talk about the black mass and why you need to be in tip top shape for reading this part. ahem:

the black mass scroll is not just one ritual, it is a collection of Vellioth's schooling, a list of rites/rituals, details of soul, divine (good, neutral, and evil) magic, and the methods of manipulation of the soul, divinity, and magic.

tl;dr - the black mass scroll is a list of lists. a collection of collections. the black mass scroll is.. an archive!

one could say it is massive. heh. anyways yea, the mass is a double meaning - a mass in the ritual sense, but also the meaning of 'a bunch of somethings.'

why is this important though? well. because this black mass has 'all the ways death can be turned to one's advantage or made more interesting', such as 'The Rite of Perfect Slaughter' and the 'Rite of Profane Ascension.'

so, let's talk about the Rite of Perfect Slaughter, which is actually fairly easy - Cazador killed Vellioth in the Rite of Perfect Slaughter. yet, Vellioth, who should be 'dead,' is recalling this. we should note, both of these people are undead. and undead death doesnt always work in the same way as complete removal/destruction. literally look at the other undead/'dead' in bg3 itself. look at those who 'died' in ravenloft. yet, some return, despite being 'killed' in the human perceived way.

either way, all we can confirm, based on this Rite of Perfect Slaughter, is that it removed Vellioth's authority/status as a Master Vampire. that is literally all the information we have right now. anything else is speculation, theory, or even deception by an undead or someone affiliated. which makes me wonder, who came up and formed that name, the "Rite of Perfect Slaughter"? cazador and vellioth both have a distorted view of what 'perfection' means, and we've seen cazador lie/hide information that will work against him. and also, Vellioth was laughing as cazador did the Rite on Vellioth. why didnt cazador and astarion laugh together when astarion performed the Rite of Ascension? because cazador didnt want the rite used on him. i guess the point of all of this is, who originally discovered or created the Rite of Perfect Slaughter? because, we dont know! for all we know, Vellioth couldve wanted to be 'killed' to give his soul to someone else, to preserve his vampirism/unlife or something. afterall, the black mass has 'all the ways death can be turned to one's advantage.' it doesnt say by who benefits from it. but anyways. the origin isnt really relevant for this, i just wanted to point out that these Rites are all a various and mixed collection of times, rituals, affiliations, and intentions - most that we dont even know fully, if at all of who benefits from it. and, considering we dont even know what some mean, or who made them, the original people who discovered them may not even be Cazador or Vellioth.

why? or how?

because, the line Astarion says when he picks up the Black Mass Scroll: "[Cazador] stole everything, even [Vellioth's] precious rules."

it doesnt matter who made the rites, rituals, weird strange description/stuff. all that matters is that Cazador has the entire bundle of stuff that is from previous vampires and creatures. and, the symbolism that Astarion picks it up and takes it, means the collection of potential power - of The Black Mass Scroll - Astarion is the current inheritor of potential power.

Cazador and Jander (what?)

now, reader. you might be like. 'syrips, what does this have to do with if Strahd is considered a vampire ascendant? why is jander being brought in here?? im so confused, just answer the question about strahd!' well, too bad! you gotta wait! into the sealed tomb with leo dilisnya you go!

anyways! what we learned so far (as well as random rambling cuz why not):

cazador literally takes things that aren't his

cazador learned this from 'ancient' vellioth

Vellioth become a master vampire at 1204 DR of baldur's gate

Cazador became one at 1276 DR of baldur's gate

but! let's take a quick look and compare this to our beloved Jander Sunstar's lore:

they are incredibly weak when compared to an already existing Jander and strahd, as Anna has existed on the sword coast beginning around 970 DR

not only does time work differently in barovia, but in Toril / DR time, strahd already exists at this point as The Vampire. he is already the ruler of barovia, as well as the center of attention in the domains of dread

time isnt really important here, but its worth noting this because of Jander. not only did he kill his vampire master (which can be considered a 'vampiric ascension,' as you break the chains and limits of your master and are now free to grow in vampiric abilities), but he literally wielded an ancient and holy relic that vellioth and cazador could not even imagine to do.

and, not only did Jander do that, but he challenged the cause of vampirism and was brought by the mists into barovia. he was a candidate to challenge the master, founder, and origin of vampirism - strahd. Jander had the potential to ascend. to break free from the true master and curse, of The Vampire.

anyways, jander (and astarion) is a great reference character for vampire ability when comparing vellioth and cazador to jander/strahd.

but yea. tl;dr - jander makes vellioth and cazador look really pathetic. like baby levels pathetic. vampire ascension is about going 'backwards/upwards' on the vampiric bloodline tree, gaining your agency back so that you can climb up the ranks to more 'potent/ancient' generations. basically, it's about being free to go as far/deep as you can attempt. ascension is not about 'the removal of weaknesses', it's about 'the reduction of vampiric inferiority'. and, being unable to be in the sun is not of inferiority. they can go in the sun, but it will hurt. what one cannot do without suffering, teamwork, pacts, and/or luck, however, is breaking their seal on the master they're forced to be inferior to. even in the cazador fight, the only thing that saved astarion was literally the tadpole helping to reduce his inferiority with cazador. on a side note, vellioth laughing at cazador during the rite of perfect slaughter makes me believe that vellioth benefitted and only caused cazador to descend deeper, instead of ascend.

anyways. back to cazador. the only way that he can reduce the vampiric inferiority (as well as ascend himself) is for him to confront more and more ancient vampires, you know. like what jander attempted. but, cazador doesnt want to do that. instead, he works with an archdevil to attempt a cheap temporary bandaid/loophole around the wrong problem. instead of focusing on his own inferiority complex heh pun intended, he focuses on how to get a tan and how to be less thirsty..? like. what? either he has no idea what hes doing, or he believes removing all weaknesses and flaws will make him a more perfect vampire. what a silly head.

anyways. the rite of 'ascension.'

yea, let's go into that!

what is the Rite of Ascension??

here you go, reader!

Strahd

wooo hooo! we made it back to the original question!! we did it!!

now, lettuce answer this question that we we've been waiting on for so long. i dont want to leaf you hanging.

would strahd be considered a vampire ascendant?

big drum roll! bhrrrbhrbrhbhrr!!

-cough-

..

no.

...

-leaves-

-returns-

okay so. why isnt strahd considered a vampy ascendant?

well, before we talk about that. let's consider what a 'vampire ascendant' is considered, by Vellioth, Cazador, and the Rite of Profane Ascension's terms:

an 'ascended vampire' is just one who has the ailments of sunlight and hunger removed by the process of this specific ritual. remember that line i said of a Master Vampire being a moot point? well.. to burst the blood bubble, the "Ascended Vampire" line isnt a literal 'vampire ascension'. it's also a moot point, in its own way. but not as mooty, it's more of like a half-truth. like something an archdevil would do to tempt someone into doing something for a small dose of infernal - not raw vampiric - power in return. take note that nowhere in the actual ritual lines does it talk about ascension, let alone vampiric ascension. all it talks about is to say the words 'you made a promise.. i hope you keep it..pls gimmy Infernal powers..'

you know how raphael is making a deal with you and how off it feels? that's because youre not ascending when he mutes your tadpole. he's just using his abilities to manipulate/mold something in you with his powers. that's how this ritual also is. it's just a half-truth, unempathetic advertisement, masked as a pact so that the one who does it feels satisfied, despite the archdevil just receiving much more power than the one who sacrificed all the souls.

but, let's say this ritual is legitimate, and one does 'ascend' by the archdevil's abilities to remove the ailments. so, they are technically 'rising,' in a way. they are becoming a 'stronger infernal-gifted vampire' because of less weaknesses. but, what are they trying to ascend to? what is the purpose of removing all of these weaknesses? why go through all of this?

because. they hunger. they want power. they want true immortality. they want to remove all weaknesses in mortal life and immortal unlife to have free agency, without inferiority to anything. they want to be able to transcend time, space, and death, to be on a level of the highest peak of vampirism.

and, of course. who would that be? who would be the most ancient, powerful vampire, cursed and imprisoned by their own success in achieving what other vampires can only dream of?

who was imprisoned not from failure, but from succeeding too well that something else had to intervene?

anyways, as much as i love stroking strahd's ego LOl i keep going tho, his novel-canon potential is severely higher than the CoS potential. but, through all the modules, novels, and other media, it's still heavily implied that strahd's major weakness is tatyana. if he had tatyana, or felt he was losing the chance to pursue her, if he lost this weakness, he would unironically be scarily unstoppable. the only thing stopping strahd from being a huge dictator or even more power-hungry tyrant is literally because of his obsession/'curse' with wanting to have a bae. which i find very hilarious but focus syrips that part isnt the point-

anyways. tl;dr - strahd has nothing to ascend to. he has no vampire that he's inferior to. if anything, he wants to descend. he wants to be 'less' of what he is now, to be with tatyana. or, to ascend tatyana to his vampiric level. it's his entire curse. and, because of this, he also cannot descend. if he does, he will either lose himself, or he will lose tatyana. and he will not dare to risk that.

he also has nothing that he has or can ascend from. he is the 'original'. at most, he just ascended from 'himself.' but, that's not really an ascension more than just a transition. (and, moving from the material plane to the domains of dread kind of shows that he's not really ascending/rising, more than he's just moving into a warped/slanted plane that operates differently in time and space.) and, unlike in the Rite of Profane Ascension, strahd used himself (and everything affiliated to him) as both the component and result, because no other method existed. he is the origin and reason that rites/methods to 'becoming a more powerful vampire' even exist. he's the reason that vampires exist. when strahd says he's the ancient and land, he's not just saying it for the cool monologue phrase even though we all know he totally enjoys saying it everytime. he's also bluntly saying, 'i am the ancient because i, with barovia, transcend time. i am the land because i, with barovia, connect with the domains of dread. and, the domains of dread, connects with all planes. i am beyond 'a vampire.' i, strahd, am the concept and definition of the vampire.'

everything that all vampires do, by definition, are mock versions, mock attempts, and mock methods that strahd has already mastered, influenced others to do, or that he has knowledge/creation of. everything all vampires do, is attempting to do what their masters had done. with every new spawn, they start at the bottom, trying to climb to their master's level. and even more rarely, attempting to climb to their master's master's level. but strahd is at the top of the MLM vampire pyramid. he has no master to climb up the ranks to. he's already the CEO, founder, etc. (idk how business works), he can't out-climb himself. -strahd pompous voice- 'ouhhh.. it's so lonely being at the top, ouhhh..' but anyways, he can ascend or assist others, since he's a patron. but most power-hungry vampires wouldnt want to do that, especially because they're probably trying to climb up just to compete or be on strahd's vampiric level. and yet, asking strahd for ascension is incredibly easy - all it would mean is making an eternal pact to always be subservient and inferior to strahd.. he'd gladly ascend you, you'd have the potential to be superior to all other vampires.. the only one above you would be personally him. and.. suddenly, a deal with an archdevil who doesnt care about the pettiness of vampire superiority, kind of sounds safer in comparison now..-

or idk. i could be wrong. just a ramble i had fun doing. hehe ty for reading

[keef-a-corn]

Okay so Transformers Rise of The Beasts.

Thoughts?

Honestly 7/10

Spoilers!!

CGI? Slay.

Character design? Alrigh

Voice Acting? Slay-ish I’m sorry Liza Koshy as Arcee just.. didn’t fit. But everything else slay.

Humans? Alrigh

Maximals? Slay

Autobots? Slay

Character introductions? Weak. Too much on the humans, not enough on the bots. I dunno who the plane was.

Character relationships? Same dealio. Also totally cop out with calling Optimus a big brother. Like nah, a big brother would’ve lay Bumblebee’s corpse to rest in the location he passed in. Optimus pulled a grieving Orca mother and brought his son’s corpse to fraggin Peru + he grounded Bee. Mirage and Noah’s friendship (or romance to allow for you shippers) was very rushed.

Other comments:

I wish they had expanded a bit more on Optimus not trusting humans because there was a bit to it, but definitely wasted potential. Between the fact that Bumblebee was friends with humans and that Mirage is trying to get a human friend, there could’ve been more conflict. Especially with the idea that Optimus is kinda dismissive of Bumblebee’s perspective on humans and shuts him down by grounding him. Like imagine that Bumblebee and Optimus were arguing about the trustworthiness of humans, then there’s the fight where Bee dies to which the audience would be aware that the last conversation Optimus had with Bee was an argument. The idea that OP’s unwillingness, to keep a more open mind about humans, is the reason the last conversation he would have with Bee is when they were angry at each other- this would then be Optimus’s first driving force to bring humans along, because it’s what Bee would’ve wanted. He could still be reluctant and cold, but it would explain why he was doing it.

Then, despite being a 2 hour long movie, everything felt so rushed. Like you meet the Maximals, then the humans, then there are short snippets.

What would I add?

Like I said, an argument between Bee and Optimus, a moment of Optimus being a bit more protective of the bots and showing a few more protective traits. More of a relationship between bots and a bit more of a connection and rite of passage for Noah’s relationships with the bots.

Also just more Maximals, I wanted to see more of them. C’mon!!

Bumblebee dying was disappointing because he was kept out of the movie for such a long time, but it would’ve also aided more bonding between characters. And they should’ve called Optimus a father rather than a big brother- because then Noah could see parallels between him and Optimus, but could also understand that there was a sense of irrational thinking that Noah couldn’t understand because Optimus was more a parent than a brother- then that would’ve opened up a spot for Mirage to act as a brother which would’ve allowed more bonding between him and Noah.

Because Noah’s brother was sick there could’ve been a more solemn moment before they went to bed where Mirage and Noah sat by Bee’s body in the cave and were talking, the Mirage starts mentioning things and the exchange is like;

Mirage: It’s so.. weird.

Noah: Weird?

Mirage: I dunno how else to describe it- Bee was here when we came to Earth and it was like ‘woah, what’s up with your voice buddy’ heh..

Noah: Oh?

Mirage: Then he.. ya know- he pushed through and he kept the world safe.

Mirage: Seemed unstoppable. An immovable force. He never quit.

Noah: Brother’s are like that sometimes.

Mirage: heh.. I hear ya.

Then Mirage would carefully hold Bee’s hand the same way Noah held his brother’s earlier on in the movie.

OKA- ACK!-

*crashes through the wall-, cOugH-* I’M FInE-

*cOugh coUGh, biG dEep bReaTh, cOugh couGh cOUgh cO- bREaThE-* hM- So sorry!

*aHeM, bReaThe*

AnYwAys!

*coUgh* Okay! SO! (My apologies 😅) I saw that you said to send you some song recs, so I was looking through my liked songs for songs that might fit Y/ngineer’s romanceship with Sun and Moon and/or might fit the song we sang at the gig in the video. I first thought about All I Need by Cam Wehunt because it’s a cute song and I thought it was a good fit X3

BUT T H E N I found Raging Fire by Philip Philips and I was like wOAh this is more of a Rock and Roll/Pop kind of bit that might fit the gig setting but also wOah ‘Hold me close and I’ll surrender to your heart’? ‘Won’t you turn my soul into a raging fire’?? It just kinda made me think of how Sun and Moon are feeling with their overwhelming love towards Y/ngineer.

BuT that’s not all!!

I thEn found Poster Boy by Lyn Lapid and I mean- come on ‘I know we just met’ ‘You could be a killer who’s on the loose’ which I know is a little morbid cause it’s the virus’s fault but ya know *shrug* I thought it kinda fit

AnYways! I’m so sorry this is so long 😅😅 I hope you enjoy these songs!

Also the colors don’t necessarily mean anything I just did it for funzies lmao

Also that last ask with the fun colors and fonts reminded me that they existed so thank you very much for that you kind person of the universe you are very appreciated

You can use as many colours and fonts as you’d like my love!! I think the askbox enjoys the jazzy notes :)

Also I’m adding all these to the y/n playlist I am currently curating that I can’t post bc it contains spoilers

#ask #thank you for the Recs lovely!!! they’re all such wonderful fits <3<3<3

The One Where They Get Together

Eddie Munson x reader

Warnings: Cursing, no st4 spoilers except that Eddie exists, insecurities

I kept the reader very neutral in this, so this is also POC friendly! 

The fact that you were friends with Eddie Munson was beyond you. You were a person who kept mostly to yourself, but being friends with Dustin, Mike, and Lucas made it pretty difficult to stay under the radar. You met Eddie after the boys had started attending the Hellfire club, resulting in them begging you for rides to their weekly sessions. You were at first put off by him, a bit spooked and standoffish. But after getting to know him, and learning how much of a giant sweetheart he is, you ended up falling for him.

It was about three weeks after Mike, Dustin, and Lucas had started mooching off your kindness for rides that you had decided to sit in and watch their campaign. You had nothing else better to do, and didn’t feel like going home to an empty house for the night, so there you were, sitting in the back corner of the room whilst they set up their session. 

“(Y/n), you should come sit with us. You can see way better than from back there.” Dustin called over his shoulder as he pulled his DnD folders from his backpack. You awkwardly scooched a chair beside Mike, regrettably around the corner to Eddie’s chair. You gave him a small smile and gulped nervously as he set his papers up, nodding to you in response. 

It was funny watching them all react to the various things happening throughout their session. Dustin, ever the dramatic one, got the most laughs out of you. You would’ve never known that in Eddie’s opinion, your laugh was one of the most harmonious things he’d heard. After the session came to an end, Eddie approached you as you waited for the younger teens to pack their things.

“Dustin talks about you all the time.” You startled and he put his hands up in defense. “Woah, calm down, not gonna curse you or anything.” He chuckled nervously. You had heard things about Eddie Munson from kids that passed your car from the times you’ve picked up the boys from school. They were never nice things, but you gathered that everyone thought he was a freak and a cultist. You were never one to go by the popular vote, but his loud personality still made you uneasy. 

“No, of course not.” You nervously chuckled, wringing your hands together and picking at the hem of your shirt - terrible anxious habits you’d developed. Eddie noticed.

“If you’re worried about what Dustin says, he means well. Always says good things. More so about how ‘incredibly amazing’ you are. I think he thinks of you as a big sister if I’m being honest.” That put a soft smile on your face. Dustin was always your favorite out of the trio, even if he was a pain in the ass sometimes. You thought of him as a younger brother, always being overly protective of him whenever Steve wasn’t there to do the same.

“That’s- funny that you say that. Though I think he’d rather be caught dead before he said any of that to my face.” He laughed, doubling over. His laugh caught you so off guard, sending tiny, rogue butterflies into the pit of your stomach. You lightly slapped your stomach, as you rid yourself of this foreign feeling. You had no idea what was so funny about what you had said, but you were glad you made him laugh.

“Sor- sorry! It’s just funny cause it’s totally true. He’d murder me if he found out I told you any of this. But he really does look up to you. Kinda makes me jealous.” He gave you a sly smirk. Damn him. You knew from then and there you were royally screwed.

Many months had gone by since that day, and you and Eddie had gotten closer. You always hung out when you had free time, mostly just hanging out in his room in his uncle’s trailer. He loved playing you songs on his guitar, which you always loved listening to. Most were covers, but there were few times where he’d play you his own writing, things his band hadn’t even heard yet, which made you feel special. You weren’t sure if he was doing it on purpose, which he probably wasn’t, but the guy never seemed to give your heart a damn break. It seemed like every ten minutes he was doing something that made your stomach do flips and your heart swell. Your favorite pass time with him was watching him play solos during his band practices. Seeing him in his element was something you could would watch forever. There never seemed to be a dull moment with Eddie, as he always had something for the two of you to do. Honestly, you were happy with whatever you two did as long as you got to see him smile. God, that damn smile. His genuine, beautiful smile that could kill you. Even more so if you’re the reason he’s smiling. 

You were talking to Robin during her shift at Family Video, ranting about your feelings towards the metal-head.

“God (y/n), just tell him already so my suffering will end!” She groans, tilting her head back and sighing.

“It’s really not that easy, Robin. He wouldn’t want to go out with someone like me.”

“And who’s to say he won’t?” She raised an eyebrow at you. You deadpanned at her, as she should know the reason why, but you humored her anyway.

“Because I’m awkward, and quiet. I’m always nervous about anything and everything, and yet when I get to talking around someone I like, I never shut up! I just rant and rant about anything, and it’s like my brain is moving faster than my mouth- or rather my mouth is moving faster than my brain. And it’s like I can’t stop talking and I’m just worried I’ll say the wrong thing and end up driving him away from me to the point where he won’t want to have anything to do with me-”

“(Y/n)!!” You jumped and whipped around to her.

“Sorry.” You whispered, lowering your head in embarrassment. “See what I mean?”

“Yes! I do! I know exactly what you mean.” She laughed at herself and mumbled something you couldn’t hear.

“I just don’t know what to do anymore, Robin. He does things that make it seem like he feels the same, but then at the same time, there’s no way he could want to be with me that way. I feel like sometimes he doesn’t even want to be with me as a friend. I mean, he’s my closest friend - aside from you of course.”

“(Y/n), really the only way to know for sure about any of this is to just tell him.”

You knew she was right, but you really didn’t think it was a good idea. It terrified you to even think about telling Eddie any of this. You treasured the relationship you had with him now, and didn’t want to risk destroying it. You could live with these feelings bottled up if it meant you’d never have the chance of losing him. 

Later that day you had walked to Eddie’s to hang out. It was already dark out, but you’d spent countless late nights in his room. There were times where you’d fallen asleep on his bed, but you’d never spent the night, feeling as though you were overstaying your welcome. Aside from feeling guilty for selfishly wanting to spend more time with him just to pretend to an extent that he did return the same feelings you had for him. His uncle wasn’t home, working the night shift as he normally did, and so you walked right into the trailer. You heard music from Eddie’s room and noticed the door was closed. You knocked a few times, and after hearing a soft ‘come in’ from the other side, you entered the dark room.

“Hey Eds.” You greeted as you kicked your shoes off by the door. 

“Hey sweetheart.” He smiled brightly.

Damn him.

He leaned over the side of his bed to turn his music down as you crossed his room to his tattered beanbag chair. He watched as you plopped onto the chair, sighing as your bones and muscles settled.

“Long day?” He asked, eyes never leaving your figure. 

“You could say that.” You laughed dryly, recalling the tomfoolery you had witnessed hours prior. “My coworker and I were the only ones working the shift tonight and she fucking ditched me and left early cause apparently her boyfriend needed her over for an “emergency” and I know damn well he just wanted her over so they could fuck, and on top of that, Lucas and Dustin were arguing over something unnecessary, as they always do, and Mike just had to intervene and they all ended up arguing with each other and it just gave me the worst headache.” He laughed at your rant and shook his head. 

“Sounds like a fantastic day.”

You turned your attention from the ceiling to him as he propped his guitar against the wall, standing and stretching, the bottom of his shirt showing a peak of his stomach. You shook your head as to clear away any thoughts and redirected your attention to his guitar. Maybe you could try playing it?

You’d thought about playing his guitar before, but was hesitant. Hell, that guitar was the love of his life, he’s probably the only person who ever touches it, much less plays it. He’d probably guard the thing with his life. 

“Hey, could I... could I try playing her?” You cleared your throat as you adjusted your posture, awkwardly sitting straight up. Your heart dropped for a second as he stared at you. Yea he’s probably livid.

“Uh, yeah. Yes, of course! Of course you can play, of course!” He rambled as he handed you his guitar, the cool mahogany of the body hitting your skin. You had always admired his guitar, it seemed to be the thing that had his attention majority of the time. Eddie would always say otherwise. He plugged in the amp chord, and you strummed the strings, a sharp sting of notes ringing throughout the small room. He absentmindedly smiled as he watched you - beautiful you - strumming his guitar. You looked perfect, being slightly swallowed by the gigantic bean bag chair, clothes slightly disheveled.

You could remember a few guitar lessons you took as a kid and failed miserably at trying to replay them. Every other note being a key off, strumming the wrong string, etc. You cringed every time you messed up, silently praying Eddie would just snatch the damn thing out of your arms to get you to stop. But he didn’t, and you looked up at him, noticing how silent he’d been the past few moments.

“Sorry I’m shit.” A light chuckle came from him as he walked over to you, sitting down beside you.

“Here.” He lightly grabbed your waist and maneuvered you in between his legs, placing his hands over yours on the guitar. Your brain short-circuited. He proceeded to place your fingers onto different strings and frets for a chord before he instructed you to strum. You immediately complied and played a beautiful chord.

“There ya go! That was an E chord.” You nodded your head in response, not trusting your voice. You strummed again and lightly smiled. You looked back at him, the same smile that makes your heart soar donning his face. He looked so proud. “Sorry, I didn’t think I could explain it very well, so I figured I’d just show you?”

You tried so hard not to break then and there. Keyword tried.

“You’re amazing.” It was just as you had told Robin, your mouth moved faster than your brain.

“Wha-?” He looked taken aback, shocked, dumbfounded, whatever you could call it, but it didn’t help the fact that your heart sank into the pits of hell. You whipped around so fast it probably gave both of you whiplash. 

“I- I meant that your playing is amazing! You know, like how when I watch your band practice? O-or when we’re just together and you play those songs you only let me hear? I really like it, I do, and I think it’s amazing, and you’re amazing, and I don’t mean that in a weird way or anything cause like, I like you, but you’re just amazing and I feel like I can’t measure up to that and just that I’m probably the last person on the planet you’d go out with cause like I’m weird and not that pretty, ya know?” You trailed off and left Eddie speechless. Your hands were shaking, hell, your whole body was shaking, at the thought of him kicking you out and never wanting to talk to you again. There was a deadly silence before he spoke.

“I- I don’t- I mean it’s- you-” With every word that fell from his mouth, your heart broke more.

So you made up your mind, before he could do shut you down, you’d beat him to it. And you did. You shot up and grabbed your car keys, sprinting out of the trailer.

“Wait, (y/n)!” You heard him from outside. You didn’t want to stop and hear the cliché “you’re cool and all but I only see you as a friend” speech. Sliding into your car and shutting the door, you saw him exit the trailer and pause at the front door, watching you back out of the driveway and drive off into the darkness.

“Shit, shit, shit.” He kicked the doorframe as hurled more curses at himself and into the silence of the trailer park.

You pulled over on the side of the road before you even left the entrance of the trailer park. Sobbing your heart out, all you could think of was how Eddie thinks of you now. You looked like a blabbering idiot in front of him. You just wanted to to crawl into a hole and die at this point.

Eddie had turned the entire trailer upside down looking for his keys. 

“Goddamnit!! I just had those shits!” Once he finally found them and scrambled into his van, the engine turned over and sputtered. The battery was dead.

“You’ve got to be shitting me!!” He tried and tried again, fingers crossed each time that the vehicle would miraculously start, but to no avail. With a defeated sigh he slammed his head against the wheel. Everything had just started to seep in for him. He hoped he’d heard you right when you said you liked him. He could barely get a word out after you had stopped talking before you sped out of the house. The whole situation mainly confused him more than anything else. You like him. He beamed at the thought.

On the other hand, you finally composed yourself enough to be able to drive back home safely. Crashing down onto your bed, you buried your head in your pillow and screamed. How could you be so stupid.

You couldn’t sleep that night.

For days you avoided Eddie at all costs. There were times where he’d try to stop you before you left after dropping the boys off at Hellfire, but you thankfully able to leave before he could reach the car. But alas, the universe was adamantly out to get you, because Dustin showed up to your house later in the week with Eddie not far behind him.

“Look, I don’t know what happened between you two, but you need to make up. Eddie won’t shut up about how you keep avoiding him, and you are quite frankly pissing me off with how fast you rush us out of the car whenever you drop us off.” You directed your attention from Dustin to behind him where Eddie stood a few feet from your front porch. He had his back slightly turned, looking anywhere but at the two of you. Your heart sank a little, twinging with a tad bit of guilt. You felt bad for avoiding him, but at the same time he looked like he didn’t want to be here, standing by your front door as Dustin demanded the two of you talk.

“Look, Dustin, this is a waste of time. Let’s just go.” Eddie spoke, and the tone of his voice made your flinch. He sounded so cold, kind of pissed off. You wouldn’t blame him.

“Eddie I-” Your voice caught in your throat. Again, your mouth moving ever faster than you brain. He turned to you, and the look on his face was unreadable. You lowered your head in embarrassment as Dustin spoke once more.

“In all honesty, it hurts me seeing you two so distant. I’m only gonna say this once, but I look up to the both of you very much and seeing this rift between you two kills me. So don’t make me be the adult in this situation and just tell each other you’re in love!” You and Eddie were both speechless, both at Dustin’s maturity and confession, but also his blunt words. Dustin looked at you and motioned with his hands towards Eddie, a silent plea to talk to him, and walked past you to enter your house - most likely to raid your kitchen.

You and Eddie didn’t move for a while. You tried to collect your thoughts on how’ to approached the situation, occasionally hearing Eddie pace back and forth. You broke the ice first.

“I’m sorry.” He froze. “I... I didn’t mean to say what I said, I was- I don’t know what I was thinking, really. There was so much going on in my head in that moment, that I just- I guess I just couldn’t keep any of it bottled up anymore.” There was a beat of silence before you got a response.

“Why?” Your embarrassment turned into slight confusion at his question.

“What do you mean why?” 

“Why didn’t you mean to say it?” You took a shaky breath and steadied yourself, earning a concerned look from him.

“Eds...” His heart flipped at hearing the nickname. “I didn’t want to lose you. I thought that these stupid feelings I have for you would make you hate me and never talk to me again and I-” Eddie called your name, but it fell silent on your ears. “I understand if that’s something you want to do because I get that I’m not that great and not that attractive-” Again he said your name, and again you didn’t hear. “And I know I’m quiet like all the time and I say stupid awkward stuff without even thinking, and I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I love you Eddie, I really do, and I’m so scared because I don’t know what to do- ”

“(Y/n)!” You jumped and looked up, Eddie standing right in front of you. Your breath was shaky while tears swelled in your eyes, threatening to fall. Eddie’s hand hovered over the sides of your face for a second, almost as if he was hesitant, before he wiped stray tears that had broken the dam. You couldn’t comprehend what was happening, but you could feel his lightly calloused fingers brushing over your cheeks. The smile on his face showed nothing but adoration as he looked down at you.

“Sweetheart, please don’t cry, especially over me, I’m not worth it.” You nodded in response, unable to speak from choking back tears.

“I’m so sorry Eddie.” You stuttered out in between sobs.

“Hey- hey, look at me. You do not need to apologize. I- I promise you I love you just the same. I swear to you, I do. So please don’t apologize. If anything, I’m sorry you’re stuck with me.” A dry chuckle escaped his lips as he averted his gaze, a light blush across his cheeks. You would engrave the image in your mind if you could. An unusual burst of confidence surged through you as you cupped his face in your hands and glanced between his eyes and lips. You paused in confusion, his words now reaching your ears.

“Wait, why are you sorry?” 

“I don’t know, I know I’m not good at this sort of stuff, so I guess it just made me feel like I couldn’t ask you out or anything.” He gestured between the two of you.

“Wait, you- you wanted to ask me out?”

“Well I thought I was being obvious.” He chuckled nervously, scratching the side of his neck.

“Do it then.” He looked confused and you giggled and looked down shyly. “Ask me out.” You whispered. And when you looked back up, there it was, that smile that you fell in love with.

“(Y/n) (y/l/n), would you do me the honor of going out with me?” He spoke in a theatric voice, making a grand gesture and bowing in front of you. You smiled brightly, and vigorously nodded your head.

“I would absolutely love to.” He smiled and picked you up, lightly spinning you around, the both of you laughing. Eddie suddenly pulled you into a kiss, sending goosebumps over your skin. It was a light, shy kiss, but one filled with love. 

“Finally!!” You both jumped apart as Dustin stood at your front door. “Jesus, it took you both long enough. Mike and Lucas owe me ten.” He walked down the steps to your porch and over to your car. “Alright, let’s go, got a campaign session to get to. And don’t rush me this time!!” You laughed at his words as he hopped in the car. As you made your way to the car, Eddie slipped his hand into yours and intertwined your fingers. You looked at him and smiled. As you both entered the car, Dustin spoke up.

“Also, this doesn’t mean you can be all lovey-dovey during our campaigns or around me in general, it’s really gross.” He made a gagging gesture and you and Eddie chuckled.

“You got yourself into this mess.” Eddie spoke as he took your hand once more as you drove to the highschool, smiling to yourself.

The fact that you were going out with Eddie Munson was beyond you, but you’d have Dustin to thank for that.
