A Flawless Muse - LN

Request from @flrboyd - hi, I was wondering if you could write something with lando based around these 2 tiktoks, where he just documents anything the reader does even if it's normal tasks like he just always capture atleast part of a moment where they're together https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMVntrW3/ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMVnDwHd/

No part 2 requests please

When fans saw a y/n.mov account be created they initially thought it was a fan account or she was getting into movie making in following the footsteps of her boyfriend. But what no one expected was for it to be Lando capturing and documenting as many moments of his girlfriend's life as possible.

Videos span from travelling to exploring to bedrotting to cooking to her third-wheeling his golf with Max or Zak.

He doesn't necessarily capture every moment, sometimes pulling out his camera can ruin it but y/n has never complained or discouraged him.

Today's documenting was the journey actually quite a long stretch of time. Going from Monaco to Woking to Miami for the next race.

Lando smiles setting up the camera to look at y/n. He does also feature himself in some clips, like waking her up.

"Baby, time to get up up up." Lando smiles squishing her under his weight as he presses several kisses on her cheek earning a grin from her.

She doesn't know she's being recorded, but really with Lando at this point, he's recording her so often she is very much aware to always be cautious of it.

They get up and grab luggage, throughout all of which Lando manages carry quite a few of the bags and capture a good few clips of her before they get on the jet.

One thing he's always missed and slept through when it comes to their flights. Y/n has a very meticulous skincare routine since she says flying so much dries out her skin.

Lando sets up the camera to capture her going through each step of her skincare. A cleanser, toner, two serums, eye cream and moisturiser which doubles as "hydrating mask"

"So was that all cinematic?" Y/n jokes as Lando stops recording.

"Very cinematic." Lando confirms earning a grin from the young woman before she shuffles a little closer. "You want to put it on me?"

"Pretty please?"

"Can I capture it on video?"

"Always."

-

If asked Lando would say y/n was just made for the camera. He thinks she is so perfect, though he is slightly selfish in that he believes she was best made for his camera specifically.

Being in Woking, Lando might be the first to admit it's not the most cinematic of places to capture on camera but when y/n is there, he thinks it's improved ten fold.

Y/n is walking around MTC looking at the old cars. Lando can't even help it when he comes out to find her peaking into one of the cockpits. He scrambles for his camera, somehow not catching her attention before he moves to capture her.

But it takes only a few seconds for her to spot him and without even thinking she's jogging towards him with a beaming grin.

"You're so pretty." Lando laughs as she get close enough and he stops recording.

"I feel bad to say I know, but you tell me so often I think denying it would be criminal behaviour." Y/n jokes then sighing. "Done for the day?"

"Yes...you didn't crash my car, did you?"

"No. Someone else crashed into your car. There's a difference." Y/n grins playing along with the joke. "They only took off the door and then reversed back into me to test the crumple zone."

"Oh right, of course." Lando laughs before he sighs and they begin to head out, saying by to everyone they pass and wishing everyone safe travels for when they get out to Miami.

Usually Lando likes to take any opportunity to go out for dinner, while y/n likes to take any opportunity to cook at home. Mainly because she likes the familiarity of shopping at food shops in the UK. So she talks Lando into taking them to a Big Tesco (iykyk), which he agrees to purely because he thinks he could capture more footage of her in a new setting.

-

The journey to Miami is fun. However her betrayal to McLaren is captured in 4k when she gasps seeing the pink Red Bull caps.

"-Baby, you can't wear Red Bull."

"Why? Does McLaren have bright pink cap too?" Y/n gasps in excitement as she looks across to the McLaren merch stand only to deflate and turn to the woman working in Red Bull. "Can I have a Max cap?"

"I'm dumping you." Lando grumbles, not meaning it for even a second as she pays for the cap.

Y/n grins putting the cap on and much to Lando's annoyance, it looks very good on her. Even if he might have a bias that everything looks good on her. He places his camera down to record them before pulling the cap off and adjusting it to the right size for her head and then putting it back on her head.

Y/n and Max do come across each other and Lando captures the interaction of Max looking very proud over the fact she's sporting not only Red Bull much but his number 1 sits very forward on the cap.

Despite him working throughout the weekend and it being Miami, Lando still manages to capture her on camera continuously. Even seeing up the camera so it captures her watching him. Though her Red Bull cap was banned from being within the confines of the garage. Which almost earned her an invitation to Max's garage instead.

When the race weekend is over, they're on their way back to Monaco. Oddly on a flight via Max as had been the case for China too. Lando spends the whole time editing the first parts his video footage, though he manages to balance that along with capturing y/n and Max yapping about the weekend before she falls asleep, the RBR cap resting over her eyes as she curls up with her head resting on his leg forcing him to balance his laptop on his other leg.

"I'm burning that cap and doing whatever to get her a bright pink McLaren cap." Lando comments earning a small laugh from the Dutchman.

"How's your mini movie for her?"

"I'm not allowed to show anyone but her sneak peaks. You'll have to wait." Lando smiles then reclining his chair back as he lifts the cap slightly just to check that she's sleeping. "But actually this might be the best video I've made...aside from her domestic bliss day."

"No wonder Kelly says you're the best boyfriend." Max hums watching Lando grin, very smug over his title.

"Yeah, I'm pretty much untouchable."

"Yeah, but she's still wearing my cap." Max hums then finding the fact thrown at him before Lando just puts his hand over her eyes to block out the light.

"It will be burned."

Fairytale | Tony Stark

Fandom:MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Pairing: Tony Stark x Reader, Tony Stark x Fem! reader, X reader interst.

Warnings: None! Just pure tooth rotting fluff! Marriage Propsal!

Request: “Hiii, can I request a cute marriage proposal with tony and fem!reader? You can add smut or not, it's up to you.”

| Masterlist |

Following the rose petals, on the dirt path leading away from the Avengers compound and into the woods behind. Your white strappy sandals go mid-calf, giving room to your mid-length mini soft pink dress that’s off the shoulder.

Holding onto a tree as you go down a slightly rocky path of rose petals and rocks, you start spotting fairy lights resting among tree branches.

Walking towards a small nook that's tucked away in the woods, looking at the blankets and pillows you step onto. Fairytale lanterns hanging up with the fairy light along with glitter decorations. Colorful blankets hung up, shielding the nook away from anything but the noises of the birds, and other creatures.

Seeing the rose petals go into a heart shape on the blankets as you see feet standing above with a hand extended out to you.

It’s Tony standing in a nice dress shirt and pants with a huge smile, giggling softly as you begin looking around the hideaway.

This is almost out of a fairytale, it’s like a dream you’ve had before. Twirling around, staring at all of it as the sunsets in the background somewhere out in the forest. It’s magical.

Tony's hands wrapped around your waist, making you smile brightly at him.

"What is this?!" You question with softness in your voice as you just stare at the bright lights and the setting of rose petals. The soft glitter decorations hanging, lanterns hanging up, it’s wispy like.

Tony chuckles softly "A Surprise!" He adds on to his chuckles making you just smile.

"It’s….I don’t know what it is…It’s perfect…it’s magical." You say as you reach out, laying your fingers, gently on the glitter decorations. Slowly spinning around to the other decorations as you touch them with a glow in your eyes, Tony has seen before that’s when he first met you, every time you look at him.

"Remember four years ago, when we first met, drive- in a movie dive, you ran into me with your food. It was a fairytale movie night, Disney movies, princess movies, the others dragged me to that." Tony says and you laugh softly turning to him as your dress flows out in doing so.

"Yes! My favorite night was the night I met you and then suddenly we were on our first date night and we got stuck in traffic due to the princess con across from the restaurant." You add to his story and Tony nods in response.

"You were obsessed with those princess dresses you saw!" Tony chuckles and you nod.

"I still love them" You comment laughing as you grab Tony's hands.

Giggling softly "Whatever this is, I love it already!"

"What’s next?! A movie! Disney movie!" You say hopping excitedly away from Tony as you look at the blank sheets.

"No actually," Tony says and you just hum quietly.

"Then what?! Oooh! A Picnic!" You say trying to guess what Tony planned.

"no…no ...no," Tony says as you touch the fairy lights as you twirl them in your hand.

"Oooo Fairytale book reading! What book?" You guess widely as you turn quickly to Tony but not seeing him at eye level in fact, lower on...one knee.

Freezing as you stare at Tony, covering your mouth with your hands as you began sobbing softly.

"Tony, what is this?" You ask through your sobs.

Tony grabs your hand as you stare at the ring he’s holding.

"Ms. Y/n L/n, I need you…I want you by my side. Since the first day we meet, since the drive-in dive, I knew I wanted you by my side. Then being stuck in traffic and your face when saw the dresses and the con, how you lit up? It made me feel butterflies, then I got to know you, and I fell more and more in love. I couldn’t understand how much I loved you until you pull me in on our third date and you kissed me because I couldn’t do it myself four years ago. I realized that you were the woman for me. There are no words to describe how I can feel about you, it’s so huge that there’s nothing that can buy the words. Will you marry me? Became my princess as I will be your Prince Charming." Tony says through his tears and you begin to giggle softly as you smile at him.

"YES! YES! YES! TONY YES!" You scream out as Tony grabs your hand placing the ring on your finger, it fits perfectly.

Pulling your newfound fiancé in as you began sobbing quietly into his shoulder as he held you tightly kissing your forehead with the side of your face.

Pulling away as your hands go to his face wiping his tears as you kiss gently, Tony instantly melts into the kiss.

"I love you…I love you so much. I love this, it’s just so magical!" You say into the kiss as Tony kisses you more before pulling away.

"Look at the ring…" Tony says quietly as you look down at the ring, seeing Cinderella's carriage on the side of the ring.

Gasping out with wide eyes, choking out with more tears; "Oh my god, it’s the Disney Cinderella diamond ring…oh my god. How'd you know I was looking at this?!"

"I have my ways and also the snaps you sent with your laptop in the background with the ring…"Tony says as he winks at you, laughing softly as you blush red softly.

"Thought you’d never get the hint….oh god I love it…I love this! It is a fairytale!" You say looking around as you froze seeing the Avengers recording as they smile and begin clapping and cheering.

"Oh my god! When did you guys get here?!" You yell in surprise

"Just now!" Steve says as he stops recording on his phone with a huge smile plastered on his face and every one of the other heroes that became your family over four years.

"Oh my god! Were all of you guys in on this?!" You ask, letting go of Tony as you stare at the group in shock.

"YES! Congratulations!" Natasha says as he hugs you tightly and you just her back as hugs and laughter fill the area as hugs are being passed around.

"Thank you so much." You say as Tony holds a hand up to you and you just smile at him.

"I love you all!" You say as you just smile widely, all you can do is just smile, that’s just show how you are feeling. Which is pure bliss.

Reylo Scenes: TROS Part 1

If there's one name I don't wanna hear about my Reylo it's Colin Trevorrow.

I will be referencing the novelization, BTS interviews, comics and visual dictionary cause how do I say this? All of that makes the movie more coherent. That's the main issue with the movie. A lot of information was left on the cutting room floor.

Side note: There is one line in the novelization "a kiss of gratitude" the way anti-Reylos clung to that shit, like, it was even in Screenrant articles. It's one line while the rest of the novel heavily supports Reylo. This is in the BTS video for the making of the film from the team.....

"What if your sort of soulmate in the force was your enemy? Circumstance pits them against each other, but the force bonds them together. They understand each other almost from a point of view of fate and yet fate has made them enemies" That's a great story! Genuinely that's a wonderful literary, cinematic and epic story.

Daisy Ridley, "The stuff with Adam always has been so emotional. Trying to find that balance of feeling the light side but also feeling the draw to the dark side."

Adam Driver "He learns that over the course of the movie that they're two halves of the same thing. I think it just, if anything, reaffirms what he knows intuitively and has known for a while but hasn't been able to articulate until he can."

Seriously Antis?!... Accept the shit, enjoy the ride and move on.

In the visual dictionary the information provided from Ren's perspective during the interrogation is "Kylo Ren feels an innate connection to the scavenger, unaware that they form a prophesied dyad." In the time period between TLJ and TROS, Rey and Ben actually have had a run-in with one another though they haven't had a forcetime since the TLJ.

General Hux quote from the novel 'Ren had no soft spots for anyone - except maybe the scavenger' No, maybe about that. Stormtroopers stay in awe.

The movie starts with (The most chopped up opening) bad ass supreme leader Kylo Ren for literally 5 minutes before he's co-pilot to dummy Palpy. In the novelization it's revealed what exactly he saw during the hut vision with Rey. "He’d glimpsed her parents in a vision, a poor, frightened couple eking out a meagre existence, surviving on the edge of desperation. He hadn’t been lying when he’d told her they were nothing, nobodies. But Force visions were filled with tricky truths and potential realities. Maybe he had missed something." No, her story hadn't been retconned yet.

Grandpappy Palpy offers Ren the Sith fleet if Kylo kills Rey (except he doesn't want her killed...Ren's the backup?) Kylo pursues Rey under the pretense that he agreed to kill her. Ren ain't even about that life. He's like oh sure! Get the fuck out of here.

Meanwhile Rey is training with Leia/R2D2 with the assistance of Poe and Finn. There's a moment when Kylo Ren is praying over his grandpappy Darth Vader mask and bridges his mind with Rey's (They should've done more with this in this movie).

We don't know if she's confided in anyone about her connection to Ren. It would have served the story better if she had.

The damn mask is back. *Eye Roll*

On Pasaana we have their first forceskype. In the movie, it's like two ex's running into each other and don't know what to say.  God bless Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley, but mainly Adam Driver for all the work he put into spinning mostly exposition writing into something swallowable. Yes, the dialogue is stiff, but Ren's motivation at this point is semi-layered. He warns her that Palpatine wants her dead not only because he wants her at his side, but also to protect her from Palpatine. Ruling alongside Rey has become Ren's greatest ambition. Ren and Rey mean King and Queen after all. In the novel, 'He wanted to kill the past, yes. Rule supreme over the galaxy, certainly. And the massive fleet on Exegol would help him do that. But the ambition that cut into his being was the thought of reigning side by side with her. They were connected. They had defeated Snoke. Together they would be invincible.'

Both Rey and Ren are so desperate for that connection. Both also understand how powerful they were and could be together. Their battle together in Snoke’s throne room features some of the best visual storytelling in the entire series. This is where you see them together at their best, showing the promise of the potential they possess as a unit. Not to mention the emotional depth they bring to the others lives. Both are looking for confirmation of the others feeling.

"I offered you my hand once, you wanted to take it, why didn't it?"

"You could have killed me. Why didn't you?"

 

Next scene is in the desert of Pasaana. The second Ren is on the planet she senses him through the force and he sense her. The infamous running in the desert to run you down trailer scene. Prior to the movie release people correctly presumed this was Kylo Ren, but thought it was a training exercise hahaha because it made no sense. The movie was released and it still made no sense unless you've read the novel.

Kylo Ren sensed her before he saw her. As he flew his TIE whisper along the flat desert, she was a bright presence in his mind, practically glowing with determination and ferocity. He finally understood. Han Solo was his past. But Rey was his light.

The dark side clouded his judgement and urged him to cut all the ties to light. In the end, the murderous impulses contradicted his deepest desire to have Rey for himself.

I'm actually more interest in the scenes in the last 3/4 so moving onto those.

welcome home

pairing; bucky barnes x reader fandom; marvel cinematic universe length; 2,242 words

Bucky gets home from a mission and spots you in one of his more retro shirts and he can’t help himself, not that you mind one bit. *set in AU verse where IW+ Endgame don’t happen. Set in 2019*

hThe day had started early for you.

As you woke up your hands seeked out the other side of the bed only to find that side still cold. A sigh escaped you as you rolled over onto your back, glancing at the clock on your nightstand. It wasn’t even six in the morning. Not that waking up that early wasn’t unusual for you. Most of the time you were only able to sleep in when Bucky was by your side.

The two of you had been together for almost two years now, and you don’t know what you would do without him in your life. You knew the Avengers through Tony, as you worked with him at the company as an engineer. The two of you got on surprisingly well, and it wasn’t long before he introduced you to the rest of the team.

And that led you to meeting Bucky one night in 2017.

It was another one of Tony’s grand parties that you somehow got talked into again by Steve and Natasha. The redhead had been excited to help you find a dress, taking you into the city and spending a large portion of the day to help you find the perfect one. It was an off the shoulder black dress that hugged your waist and chest. Natasha had paid for it, not letting you see the total once. You stayed in the corner for most of the party, occasionally talking with others and getting a drink at the bar. Which is what you were doing when he walked in.

Tall and gorgeous and he looked like he would rather be anywhere else at that moment.

Like yourself.

Steve introduced you to him, and with a sort of firm look to his friend left you the two along.

And after that, your life changed. Days were spent with each other, getting to know each other and just hanging out in general. Weeks and months passed and it only took four months before you admitted to Natasha that you really liked him.

He asked you out six months after you first met and you did not even hesitate to say yes.

Now, you and Bucky were living in the tower, you were still working as an engineer and he was still going out on missions to fight evil. He had left two weeks ago with Steve and Nat, something about potentially having a source for where another HYDRA base was stationed at. He had left you with a kiss and a promise to be home as soon as they took care of it.

Another sigh escaped you as you pushed yourself up and out of bed, making it quickly before grabbing your phone and heading to the bathroom. You did your business and washed your face before going back into the bedroom. The sun was starting to rise as you looked out the window and you paused for a moment.

It was gorgeous and you most likely would never not get giddy over the fact that you lived in New York City. Pushing your hair out of your eyes and grabbing one of Bucky’s shirts from the closet, you went into the kitchen.

After having FRIDAY start one of your playlists you set on making yourself breakfast. Eggs were added to the pan and a pot of coffee finished brewing. The music woke you up more and the coffee did as you made it to your liking and started to drink it. By the time you were done eating, it was just almost seven and you soon started the dishes.

The music was loud enough that you didn't even hear the door open and shut.

Arms wrapped themselves around your waist and you let out a scream before you realized who it was.

"Could’ve sworn I remembered buying that one myself last month." He drawled as he leaned his head against your shoulder and pulled you closer to him. Placing the last item in the drying rack you turned your attention to him. Your lips curled into a grin as you spun around so you were facing him, your own arms coming to rest around his neck.

Seeing no visible injuries on him you brushed your thumb against his cheek softly. "oh, this?" you gestured to the shirt. " I could have sworn it was mine, but now that you mention it. it is rather comfortable. I can give it back to you," you let out a laugh as his arms tighten even so slightly on you.

"I didn’t take you for someone cheering the vintage look," He spoke, fingers brushing your hips.  "Gotta be honest: you probably wear it better than me." Your head tilted to the side, as you pushed yourself a bit closer. Was it getting hot in here or was it just you?

"Let's face it, I wear a lot of things better than you." you said , seeing a smile somewhat appear on his face. You knew that the shirt on him would look amazing, highlighting all the features. Not to mention his arms and muscles. You had to know you looked like a little kid wearing their parents shirt, or  at least something close to that. "Vintage or not, maybe because it's yours." You spoke, "You might not be getting it back, haven't decided if I want to keep it or see you in it."

"Despite the beating around the bush to rile me up, it’d be wise to give it back y’know?" Your shoulders shrugged softly as your teeth sunk into your bottom lip.He leaned in closer now.

"I needed a shirt, saw this one and just had to put it on." You said as you leaned back against the counter. "If I had known, well," you paused. " If I knew that you were going to get like this, I would have taken it the day you bought it."  This was something that you loved seeing, how domestic you got sometimes. "If you want it, by all means, feel free to take it from me.", a smirk on your face. " Not like I would stop you."

He turned his head, looking down at you as he said. "Are you daring me?”  his eyebrow arched up at you as his grip tightened once more. Heat flared between your legs and you felt yourself clench around nothing. A whine bubbled up between your lips but you wouldn’t give in so easily. One of his hands reached up and cupped one of your cheeks.

You let yourself briefly lean into his touch, you were touch starved after not seeing him for two whole weeks."What if I was," You asked, your voice coming out soft, a hint of some emotion that you couldn't place your finger on. "What if I was daring you, Buck." You wanted to see what he could do, what he would do, what he wanted to do to you. That was something you always noticed and to be honest, found attractive  about him, he would get what he wanted, come hell or high water.

All thoughts stopped as his fingers eased your arms out of the shirt, pushing it off your shoulders. His lips went for your neck, going to every inch of skin that was exposed to him. Your breathing stuttered slightly as you let out a pleased sound. The shirt moved farther down, exposing your breast to the room and you felt your nipples tighten against the cold air. And you knew that Bucky knew as you felt his lips curl into a smirk as his fingers wandered.

You let out a whine as his lips left their spot from your neck but stopped when you felt the warmth of his mouth wrapping around your right nipple. His mouth hollowed as he roughly sucked it further into his mouth and you let out a loud moan, your own hands coming to rest in his hair. As much as you wanted this to be about you, you wanted to show him how much you missed him. Of course that would wait as you felt him move from your other breast and knelt down on the floor in front of you, lust clear in his eyes.

You pressed yourself further against the counter as you let out another whine as his fingers trailed up your thigh, all but shoving them apart. “You missed me huh?” You asked and you got you answer when two fingers slid up your thigh and to where wetness was dripping from. Said fingers parted your folds and as they went into your pussy, his metal hand moved itself to your clit rubbing just the way you liked it.

No words were exchanged as his fingers quickly sped in and out of your cunt, pressing and hitting the spots that made you see stars. Your head hit the cabinet softly as you gripped the counter with your hands. Fingers sped up and you tighten around him, the coil in your stomach already starting to build and grow more as the wet sounds of him fingering you filled the kitchen. Fuck you missed him. His eyes made contact with yours and you leaned forward and threaded your fingers through his hair.

“Fuck, Bucky, please.” You begged him.

He sped up more, his fingers leaving your clit and being replaced by his lips. You were breathing all but stopped as his mouth sucked the nub into his mouth. Your thighs started to shake as your stomach tightened more and more. All it took was one more pass of his tongue over your clit and one more thrust of his fingers before you felt yourself cum.

For a second, you blacked out, blackness filling your vision and ears ringing. You came back to your senses to Buck pulling you into his arms, pressing his mouth to your forehead.

“You good now doll?” His voice soft as his fingers run through your hair. You nodded, taking a couple deep breaths to recollect yourself.

“All good, and now it’s my turn.” You grin at him, spinning the two of you around so he rested against the counter now, as you fell to your knees. His arousal was evident enough, straining against the pants that he wore. The smirk on his face grew as he undid the belt and shoved his pants down, his cock springing free. You didn’t even thing before taking his all the way down, thanking whatever god is out there that you didn’t have a gag reflex. He stretched your mouth to the brim and the taste of him was making you get even more wet. As you pulled back your hands came to jerk off whatever wasn’t in your mouth. He had that look in his eyes, and he tapped the back of your hand three times and you nodded.

He started out with a couple soft thrust, using your hair as a guide. His eyes never left yours as he thrust his hips further, watching you take all of him in your mouth. That started the pace of a couple seconds of rough, then letting your breath before starting again.

You didn’t complain once.

Just the feeling of being utterly and completely used was enough to satisfy you for a while. The eye contact, you couldn’t /wouldn’t/ look away. His gaze was too captivating, luring you into him. you tried to relax as best as you could, feeling you throat tighten ever so slightly as he forced you all the way down, her nose brushing against his lower stomach. God you loved this side of Bucky.

Tears spilled down your face as well as spit dripped down your chin. You could feel his thrust start to stutter slightly and he pulled you off and bent you over the table and shoved him into you in one swift thrust. You let out a moan, fingers clenching the table cloth as he pounded relentlessly into you. His hips slapped against your ass and all you could do was take it, moans and pleads slipping out from your mouth.

His fingers left bruises on your hips as grunts and whispers of words left him, and he pulled you up and against his hands heading to your tits, pinching your nipples with the right amount of pressure. You felt yourself dripping and knew you could only last a couple more minutes at the most before you came again.  

“You like fucking my tight cunt don’t you?” You whispered to him, glancing up at him, lust, want and need shining in you eyes.He let out a noise of his own.

“You feel so good around my cock doll, it’s like you were made for me.” His hand slipped to your throat and squeezed gently, only building the tightening in your stomach. It only took a couple more thrust before you clenched around him and came hard. Stars once again filled your vision and you could only let sharp gasps and whines slip from your parted lips. His hips thrust once, twice and then you could feel him cumming inside you, filling you to the brim. His breaths came out in pants against your neck before he pulled himself out of you, pulling you tightly into his arms.

Your own breathing was heavy as you leaned into his arms.

“How about a shower and then a nap? Then I’ll tell you all about the mission?”

OFMD 2.05 - "The Curse of the Seafaring Life" Thoughts - Part 2

The Ed and Stede edition! This also includes some more general thoughts on the show and how I'm feeling about it right now. (Spoiler alert: very good, almost unendurably emotional.) Spoilers under the cut!

Here's a link to Part 1, more general thoughts on this ep edition!

Look how much I wrote before getting to Ed and Stede. Am I a hero, a sort of goddess of self-restraint? Who’s to say? But yes.

Their chat in the corner was so cute and I really liked how it was a return to their easy friendship; it felt so nice after so many episodes of separation and drama to see them in their element again, just doing their thing! Stede being so unfazed and unintimidated by Ed, despite The Past Horrors, will always delight me. And I find it so charming how Ed has no resentment of Stede whatsoever for being captain and just wants to help him figure it out and come into his captain-y power. Echoes of their early days!

So, I felt like we were probably going to get some sort of echo of “You wear fine things well” in this episode due to it being number five, but gosh, they really just did it exactly perfectly beyond our wildest dreams, huh? 😭 As soon as they were standing in the same spot, and then it cut to the wide shot with the moon as Ed showed off his fish – oh, the heart-skipping thrill of that! (Also, Stede’s reactions to his story were SO CUTE. So supportive!) And Ed echoing “You wear fine things well” in this way where you can totally tell they both remember that moment so hard and it’s so seared into their minds and hearts and he knows exactly what he’s evoking – ugh, so sweet. The way it’s working on levels – where it’s evoking a romantic memory for them that they’re now in a place to openly acknowledge as romantic, but also functions as a love letter to the fans since the show knows just how pivotal that moment was and how that was sort of the moment that changed everything … it just worked so seamlessly packing an emotional punch (or perhaps the lovely opposite! An emotional hug!) both within the context of the story for the characters and for us. It reminded me a lot of when “Reflecting Light” started playing at the beginning of Luke & Lorelai’s wedding montage in the Gilmore Girls revival. Just that sense of, Hi guys, we see you, we love you, we love this fictional love and it’s so important from the show itself. Idk. I’m a mess! It’s so thoughtful and kind! It feels like being held by your television show!

Ed sidling up to that kiss so pretend-nonchalantly!!!! And that kiss!!!!!!!!! In the moonlight!!!!!!! And Stede wanted to keep kissing!!!!!! Passionate hands in Ed’s beautiful hair!!!!!!! I loved that, like with Pete and Lucius earlier, this scene didn’t just end on the kiss as is often the cinematic tradition, and that it went on to have the handholding and the relationship chat and then just a more general fond chat. I just thought that was so nice. And the whole vibe of them spending the episode apart and then coming together at the end to love on each other and share stories from their day – ugh, what is romance if not that??

Them walking away together chatting fondly instead of sneaking last glances at each other and then going in separate directions like in 1.05!!!!!!!!! The new flag is up!!!!!! Sometimes, just for a bit, everything CAN be perfect, actually. 🥰 David Jenkins & Crew, nobody’s doing it like you. Thanks for the love.

General Thoughts

I MISS ZHENG AND AUNTIE, COME BACK ASAP!

(I also miss The Swede and Spanish Jackie. Come back too!!!)

I’m kind of embarrassed by how heartbroken I feel that we only have three episodes left. I think I wish they’d dropped episodes 2.01&02 together and then done one a week afterward, just because it was such a long wait and it’s going by too fast, nooooo! In particular, I think I would have really liked a break between 2.04 and 2.05 just to really sit with the feeling of Ed and Stede’s relationship mending before it hurtled so beautifully and sweetly forward into another kiss and tentative coupledom. Like, having to wait for 2.05 for a week after 2.04 would have been nice, I think. But I’m just in total fangirl despair because I love this show so much and nothing will ever be like this show again and I’m so terrified we won’t get a third season and so this is just a total emotional mess for me. I wish I was still more of a crier than I am, because I could use a good cry about this one!

I know this is just one small thing in the larger abyss of suffering in the industry right now, but the fact that the cast can’t post about or do interviews about this season as it airs just breaks my heart for them. I feel so keenly, perhaps embarrassingly sad about it. That it was so highly anticipated and made with such love and that they’re having to miss out on this incredibly special time and keep silent, when we don’t know if we’re going to get a third season or know how long the strike is going to go on or if they’ll ever get to talk about the show as it’s airing again, is so god damn sad to me. GREEDY STUDIOS KEEPING THIS STRIKE A NECESSARY ACTION, I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!! FOR A LOT OF REASONS, BUT THIS ONE’S EXTREMELY SPECIFIC AND IT STINGS AWFULLY. HOW DARE YOU POISON OFMD SEASON. I hope that the cast are seeing the love they’re getting online and feeling the love in its vast, warm glow. We love you and your glorious work!!!!!!!! Thank you for this love letter in the shape of a perfect season of TV!

This post [that had to be divided into 3 posts on tumblr!] is almost 3,000 words long! 🤪 And I’m sure I forgot to talk about so much! It is incredible to me how much they fit into these half hour episodes. Just a veritable antique shop in the middle of nowhere of riches!

You still take those, right? What about "falling asleep (in each other's arms) while watching a movie" with nerd boys Niko/Olli? 🥰

Yes, when this request was sent I was still taking prompts! Thank you for your patience <3

(897 words)

Niko inhaled the intoxicating smell of the pick & mix candy as his fingers tried to fish a round salmiakki candy from the bottom of the paper bag. When he finally caught one, he popped it in his mouth and closed his eyes, humming with satisfaction as the sweet and salty flavour spread inside his mouth. He immediately went for another, as to go through all the seven floors of heaven all over again.

His pleasure seemed to stir the interest of Olli, who had spent the past almost ten minutes browsing Netflix in search for their movie of the evening. Niko noticed how Olli glanced at his euphoric face, then the bag of sweets in his hand.

“Gimme one,” Olli finally said and stuck out his tongue for Niko to place a candy on it.

“Thought you had put all sugary snacks on hold until your next birthday?”

“Gimme!” Olli commanded, and when Niko popped a salmiakki in his mouth, his eyes seemed to roll out of their sockets. The moan that grumbled from somewhere deep down the man’s throat made Niko hope Olli would pick a particularly dull movie with little to no plot to follow, or at least one that wouldn’t last more than two hours tops, which wasn’t always self-evident when it was Olli’s turn to make the choice.

After Niko had been ordered to throw a few more black sweets into Olli’s gaping mouth and given more orgasmic groans as a reward, the bass player nodded towards the TV screen at last.

“What about this one?”

Niko glared at the trailer that somehow didn’t manage to give him any insights on the story line whatsoever; to Niko it seemed a lot like all the other fantasy pictures Olli always chose, but as long as they added an excited gleam to Olli's big eyes, Niko didn't mind at all. 

"What's it about?” he asked nevertheless.

“Hmm, I'm not sure,” Olli answered and opened the synopsis, squinting his eyes to read out loud. “‘Vortex of Darkness’ – sounds like something Joel would enjoy – is a sci-fi fantasy adventure where blablabla…” His reading died down to mumbling, until his eyes visibly brightened. “Ooh, it has dragons!”

Without waiting for Niko’s input, Olli hit play, and immediately Niko felt fluffy curls tickling the crook of his neck as Olli rested his head on Niko’s shoulder. Niko leaned his own against the top of Olli’s, nuzzling the soft hair with his nose while his hand found Olli’s and interlocked their fingers.

They didn’t have to wait for more than the first fifteen minutes of the cinematic masterpiece for the first clumsily animated CGI-dragon to appear. Amused sniggers were exchanged over the dragon’s every appearance, and each time the pair of them sank down deeper in the couch, limbs tangling and hands exploring. 

“This better have some romance as well,” Niko chuckled when the two main male characters engaged in a heated fist-fight, which went on until the men were practically lying on top of each other, panting heavily as their eyes locked.

“I’ll show you romance once we’ve finished this. I want to know what happened to Princess Whimonia! We haven’t seen her since the opening scene.” 

The promise of a little homoerotism of their own was enough for Niko to lie back with a deep, contented sigh and let Olli soften against him. Niko’s fingers were fiddling with the hem of Olli’s t-shirt, brushing against the fuzzy hair of his happy trail every now and then. At the times, when the peculiar plot of the flick playing on the TV screen seemed to not advance fast enough for their liking, they distracted themselves by stealing brief kisses from each other, hasty little pecks left at the corner of the other’s mouth or wherever their lips could reach from their current position of Olli’s back pressed against Niko’s chest. Niko’s favourite spot was near Olli’s ear, where Niko could still smell traces of the musky aromatic massage oil Niko had applied there in the morning.

“Wait, there she is!” Olli suddenly pointed at the TV, indicating the arrival of Princess Whimonia. “But…wasn’t that birthmark on the left side of her face?”

Niko’s giggles bursted right into Olli’s ear, and together they proceeded to point out each and every illogicality in the scene, all the while melting against each other until Niko could not have told where his body ended and where Olli's began.

~

It took a while for Niko to notice Olli had begun to feel heavier against Niko’s chest, heavier in the way one did when they relaxed completely upon falling asleep.

"Babe," Niko said with a hoarse voice, "babe, you can't drop off yet, they're just about to break into the tentacle dude's den." He tried nudging Olli back to consciousness but received only a sleepy sigh and a muffled mmmhhhmpfff in response. 

Niko couldn't find the energy to argue with that, so he smiled as he pressed a kiss on the top of Olli's head and let his own eyes close. The proximity of Olli's soft body lulled Niko to sleep just when the hero of the film was about to leave on his final quest, inspiring Niko's dream about Olli’s bright laughter filling the air as he flew on his dragon high up in the sky, among the clouds as fluffy as his golden hair.

What's the Craic with...Thor Love and Thunder?

I saw Thor Love and Thunder and I have some opinions

I, like many online, was excited by the clip of Natalie Portman, Taika Waititi and Tessa Thompson taking audience questions prior to a screening of the movie. The clip in question featured a fan asking "How gay is [the film]?" to which Natalie Portman (who was put on the spot by director, Taika Waititi) replied, "So gay!"

I can confirm - it is not in fact "so gay."

If that is what the trio deem "so gay" I can only wonder what they would describe actual gay things like a pride parade, Ru Paul's Drag race, or Louis Spence for example.

So lets talk about the "super gay" moments of the film - and yes, 'moments' is the appropriate term to describe them.

The first moment might not even have been a moment at all.

We are introduced to Heimdall's child who, when we find out is named "Astrid." We are then informed he has since changed his name to "Axl" which is followed by mild confusion and pushback from Thor as the pair jostle back and forth between "Astrid" and "Axl" with a joke peppered in about the name being inspired by a "cool rockstar" - Axl Rose. It's never addressed at all if this is merely a name change or a change brought on by Axl possibly being transgender (given that his former name, Astrid, is typically a feminine name). I guess we'll never know because the film does absolutely nothing to elaborate on this storyline. I can't help but feel Marvel wasted an opportunity to increase representation in the cinematic universe by introduce it's first transgender hero, especially if the cast and crew are going to market the film as a "super gay" film.

Moving on we have a very easy-to-cut side scene between Valkyrie and Korg whilst they and the two Thor's are on their way to the Shadow Realm to defeat Gorr the God Slayer. In the scene, a comment is made by Korg about the death of Valkyrie's girlfriend. You know, the girlfriend who was cut out of Thor: Ragnarok?

Later in the scene, Korg provides a glimpse into the customs and composition of his species - Kronans. Korg reveals that Kronans, an all-male species, mate by holding hands over a lava-pool with another Kronan.

Whilst the representation in this scene, threadbare as it was, was nice to see I couldn't help but notice how easy it would be for the scene to be cut out (which it presumably has been) in homophobic countries where Marvel makes a large chunk of it's profits from - e.g. China.

The only other "representation" comes in the form of Valkyrie kissing a woman on the hand and then a gay(?) joke about Thor and Valkyrie both being on "Team Jane."

I'm not sure what I expected really. It's a Disney-owned, Marvel movie after-all.

I don't know what's worse: the fact that some people are calling this the "gayest" Marvel movie; or the fact that there might actually be some truth to that statement.

Week ending: 2 September 1954

Goodness, it feels ages since I heard Secret Love, but here's another Doris Day song from the same film! I wonder if this became a hit off the back of Secret Love, as people heard it and then went to get more or Doris? Or was this a hit in its own right, just a lesser one? I've certainly never heard it, but I enjoyed its way-more-famous older sibling, so...

The Black Hills of Dakota - Doris Day (peaked at No. 7)

Before even playing this, I am quite excited to see that it's a location song. I have a bit of a soft spot for songs about places, so if this song is literally about the Black Hills of Dakota - a place I know nothing about, but imagine to be a rough and ready land of rolling hills and dramatic landscapes - then I will be very happy.

Well, we start with some very a guitar and some "clip-clop" noises that are kind of cheesy, but definitely let you know that we're in a Western. So job done, I guess. You also get a country sort of riff on an instrument what sounds a bit like a harmonica, or an accordion, but that isn't. It's sleepy and sort of lazy, in a sweet way.

And then I'm excited to hear that yes, it's essentially just a song about how much Calamity Jane likes the Black Hills of Dakota as she sings "Take me back to the Black Hills, the Black Hills of Dakota / To the beautiful Indian country that I love". We get a fabulous picture of "pines so high that they kiss the sky above" and "mystic mountains calling me back home" when Doris gets lonely.

It's enough to send me off googling the Black Hills - they're less rolling than I imagined, with a lot more rugged pinnacles of rock sticking out from forested areas. It looks lovely! It's also where you find Mount Rushmore, who know?

There's some subtly romantic touches. Doris mentions wanting to go back because it's where she fell in love, for example, and she does talk about being "lonesome" (a word that only cowboys use!) but it's subtle - this is mostly just a song about wanting to go home. As somebody who comes from a hill area and has since moved somewhere sad and flat, I really do get it! Sometimes you just want to see the land doing interesting things!

There's a repeat, then, as a male backing group join in, and sing some lovely harmonies to round the song off. We actually finish with them, and it's like a little chorus of cowboys, all singing around the campfire and remembering their homes. It's a charming image, even if I'm just imagining it.

And of course, it goes without saying that Doris' performance is wonderful throughout. It's not got the bombast or technical skill of Secret Love, but her voice is sweet and pleasant, and exudes a sort of warmth. She enunciates everything very clearly, as well, you can follow every word perfectly, which I guess is ideal for a musical film, where the songs move the story along!

As you can tell, I enjoyed this song. It's not Secret Love, but it doesn't have to be. I imagine in the film it's from, this would be very effective (I really ought to watch Calamity Jane sometime!) and even divorced from its cinematic context, it's a nice enough song that's actually grown on me a bit as I've listened.

Favourite song of the Mount-Rushmore-adjacent bunch: The Black Hills of Dakota

The top Greece vacation spots to visit in 2023

Greece is still a popular place for tourists from all over the world to visit because it has both old and modern attractions. In 2023, this country's sun-kissed beaches, historical sites, and delicious food are still drawing people in. Every year, new places become popular, but old favourites will always be fun to visit. Everyone can find their own piece of happiness in Greece, from the beautiful white buildings of Santorini that stand out against the blue Aegean Sea to the grand ruins of the Acropolis. When you add in the natural beauty of less-known spots and the friendly people, it's easy to see why Greece is still a popular holiday spot. The list of places you have to see in this beautiful country changes as the world does. In 2023, here's a sneak peek at some of the best places to visit in Greece for a holiday that you'll remember forever. Greece is a great place to visit, whether you're interested in history, the beach, or food.

Here are some of the top Greek vacation spots to visit in 2023.

1.Athens: A Blend of Ancient and Modern: After the 2004 Olympics, Athens became one of Greece's most popular tourist attractions because of its jazzy side. Athens, an ancient city, is noted for its modern metro system, clean streets, well-kept parks, excellent roads, and pleasant population. The metropolis of legend and modernity has stunning architecture and historical sites. The city also blends legend with contemporary. The Acropolis and Temple of Zeus are among the many tourist sites in Athens, Greece. 

Mount Lycabettus' stunning views, the National Gardens' beautiful flowers, the New Acropolis Museum's priceless artefacts, the Temple of Olympian Zeus' colossal ruins, the ancient Greek temple of Erechtheum, the hills of Ancient Agora, Plaka's historical neighbourhoods, the well-preserved Temple of Hephaestus, the National Archaeological Museum's prehistoric antiques, and Goddess Athena's.

2. Natural Beauty: Beaches and Gorges of Chania: The Old Venetian Harbour in Chania Town is the main attraction. The area has hosted many Hollywood films and TV series due to its distinctive design. Its stone paths and friendly residents make it one of Greece's most popular tourist sites. The lighthouse is in charge of protecting the city's breathtaking views. Romantics and couples often stare towards the water while holding hands.

The Old Venetian Harbour's colourful boats and old architecture, the Botanical Park's manicured lawn, the Chania Archaeological Museum's artefacts, the Chania Venetian Lighthouse, Ancient Aptera's Greek architecture, Iguana Beach, Agii Apostoli Beach's golden sand, Topolia Gorge, and Venetian Fortress are not to be missed.

3. Santorini's Fairytale Landscape: A Cinematic Dream: Tauba tumhare ye ishare" from 2003's "Chalte Chalte" is a masterpiece. It just so happened that Santorini fit that tune. It seems like a fairytale with whitewashed houses, chaotic but lovely little coloured cottages, spiral paths, towering blue domes, and azure lakes and skies. This is attractive. The clifftop houses and hotels add to the area's appeal. One of Greece's most visited islands is Santorini.

Legend says the area's charm, small homes, and beautiful bistros made it renowned. Historic monasteries, churches, cathedrals, monuments, and constructions give the region its particular character. Never miss this Greek destination; try to visit at least once in your lifetime. Skydivers will find it one of Greece's best spots. The Bella Aurora and Thalassa cruise, Skaros Rock views, Amoudi Bay sunsets, Museum of Prehistoric Thera exhibits, Lignos Folklore Museum murals, sailing experience at Santorini, Fira Hiking Trail thrills, Santo Winery wine-tasting tours, Perissa Beach rocky sand, Santorini Volcano beauty, and Ancient Greek ruins should not be missed.

4. Hersonissos: Greece's Premier Port Town: Hersonissos, an old port town, is one of Greece's top tourist attractions. For a full family vacation, this resort has amusement parks, beaches with wonderful sand, museums, historic ruins, and local shopping centres. Fish dishes from Hersonissos are also famous for their freshness. Unpretentious simplicity and rural charm make the town appealing. It is no wonder it is one of Greece's most intriguing locations.

SeaWorld at Aquaworld Aquarium & Reptile Rescue Centre, Lychnostatis Open Air Museum, Arion Stables, Star Beach Water Park, Labyrinth Theme Park, Cave of Zeus, Cretan Farm, and Vrontisi Monastery should not be missed.

5. Rethymnon: A Venetian Masterpiece in Greece:

Rethymnon, a well-preserved Venetian village, is one of Greece's top tourist sites. The exquisite 16th-century buildings display European and Moorish elements. Enchanted waterfalls are great for a romantic evening alone. The spectacular Cave Church of St. Anthony Gorge is another highlight. Enjoy fresh feta seasoned with olive oil and local herbs while seeing the bustling docks. Rethymnon Old Town, Moni Preveli Monastery, the Venetian Fortezza, Venetian Harbour, the Museum of Wooden Sculptures, the Rethymno Military Museum's ammunition display, Rimondi Fountain, and St. Anthony George are must-sees.

The Greek Islands offer several beach and sun holiday options. Santorini's sunsets, Mykonos' nightlife, and Crete's natural beauty are just a few islands that provide unforgettable experiences. Visit Delphi, the Oracle's house, and Knossos, the Minotaur's palace in Crete, to learn about Greek history. Don't forget Epidaurus, known for its amphitheatre.

As 2023 comes to a close, Greece is still one of the best places in the world to visit. There are many reasons why so many people come back year after year: the seas are beautiful, and the history and culture are thick. Whether you want to get lost in the fascinating stories of the old world or find peace and quiet on one of the islands, Greece has a wide range of activities to suit all tastes. The places themselves offer beauty and excitement that can't be found anywhere else, and the way to get there has been made easier as well. With better Greece visa services, it's now even easier for travellers to plan their dream trip to Greece. It's not just about the places that make the list of the best places to visit in Greece in 2023; it's also about how easy it is to get around. As you plan your next holiday, keep in mind that Greece is waiting for you to find its best spots and quick visa services. Don't pass up the chance to make memories in this country that will last forever.

This snippet is for my wonderful friend @rainydaymonk for the prompt “Bren + Essek find a bookstore somewhere that advertises a 'cute couple' discount, and they go in, and Bren is super confident they can pull off getting the discount -- but the trick is, the woman running the bookstore has been doing this for like 20 years and is a master at spotting fake couples”.

This takes place in the Tusk Love cinematic universe at some point, maybe a month or two before the events of More Things in Heaven and Earth.

If you haven’t read that, all you need to know is: Bren is an alternate universe Caleb with QUITE a different backstory, and he’s been uh, “enemies with benefits” with his universe’s version of Essek for something like two years at this point.

Bren thought he’d presented a decent argument, but Thelyss wasn’t having it.

“No,” Thelyss said firmly. He was at his hottest when he was being obstinate; Bren tried to resist the urge to kiss him and failed, leaning over to press his mouth to the hinge of Thelyss’s jaw. Thelyss gave him a disgruntled look and rolled away from him, practically across the bed. The sheet dipped low from his movement, revealing a tantalizing expanse of dark skin. “You have endless amounts of coin as Beck’s kept man. Go use that.”

Bren pulled the pout out of his arsenal. “Thelyss. You cannot expect me to pay full price for such a manuscript, even with Astrid’s backing. It’s from the Age of Arcanum.” He thought for a minute - maybe that would be enticing? “I would let you borrow it,” he added.

It was impossible to clock Thelyss’s expression while facing away from him, but he definitely froze; Bren wished he’d been closer so he could have heard how his heartbeat sped up. “Why would I have need of such a manuscript?” Thelyss asked in a voice that was a bit hoarse.

“You are horny for knowledge?” Bren suggested. He was going to regret that, he knew it as the words left his mouth—

Although he hadn’t quite expected Thelyss to roll back over with the most alluring flash of annoyance and push him out of the bed. He sprawled naked on the plush rug in Thelyss’s bedroom and grinned up at him. “Do you want to fight?” he asked, wondering if this is how Wulf felt regularly.

Unfortunately, Thelyss sniffed, “absolutely not,” in that deeply arrogant way of his, regarding him like he wasn’t sure why he’d started letting Bren into his life.

“Then come to the bookstore with me,” Bren said, flashing Thelyss a winning smile. “Let us get a discount on this book, and then I can leave you two alone together.”

Thelyss glared at him.

⋆⋆⋆

The bookstore in Port Damali was built into the side of a historic bank, a few blocks down from the sea. As the Menagerie Coast was neutral ground, Thelyss did not bother with a disguise, although he did cast Nondetection on himself before they teleported over like a completely paranoid person. Bren rolled his eyes with the confidence of a man wearing an amulet against the same.

Outside the shop, they paused. Bren reached over and hooked his arm into Thelyss’s, a move that felt distinctly awkward. “Now, you know what to do,” he said.

Thelyss turned to regard him with a truly deadpan expression. “Yes,” he said. “We are,” he swallowed hard, “in a relationship.” He said the words as though he was identifying some invasive species.

“No, Thelyss,” Bren corrected as they approached the door. He pointed at a sign in the window. “We are a cute couple.”

The sign indeed read, “Cute Couple Discount! 30% all purchases!” Thelyss glared down at it as though he could set it on fire with his eyes alone. Before his irritation had the opportunity to progress to property damage, Bren pushed through the front door and tugged Thelyss behind him. Pleasant chimes rang out as they entered, and an older gnome woman behind the counter wearing half-moon glasses looked up at them and smiled. “Ah, you’re back,” she said to Bren.

“Indeed,” Bren said, tugging Thelyss over. “And this is my lover. Are we cute enough to get the discount?” He batted his eyelashes for effect and tried to make his eyes as large as possible. Thelyss snorted beside him, but thankfully didn’t say anything to ruin it.

The woman at the counter surveyed them for a moment. “Pearl!” she shouted inexplicably. “Leonard! Come here!” Two other employees appeared out of the warren of shelves as though they lived among them, peering curiously at Bren and Thelyss; one was a female dragonborn and the other an elf with androgynous features. The gnomish woman smiled as they approached. “We have another couple!” she chirped out in a singsong voice which, paired with the anticipatory grins on the faces of her employees, worried Bren more than anything that had happened thus far.

Perhaps he’d miscalculated the level of cunning in his opponent.

“You really do seem like a charming couple,” the gnome continued, sweet in a way that set Bren’s teeth on edge. “But I’m afraid we only give the discount if we believe you’re together.”

Bren glanced at Thelyss, who wore his court face and yet somehow still managed to look like he’d rather be anywhere but there. “What about this would make you think we’re not together?” he asked brightly. Thelyss continued to grimace as though he’d had an unexpected encounter with a dead fish.

The gnomish woman glanced back and forth between them. “Pearl, if you wouldn’t mind?” she asked serenely.

The dragonborn, who was presumably Pearl, stepped forward with a smile. “You,” she directed, pointing at Thelyss, “go with Leonard. YOU,” she added with a sharp look at Bren, “stay here.”

Thelyss reluctantly deigned to be separated from Bren, and the elven employee led him back through the stacks until they were out of earshot. Pearl hopped up on the counter next to the gnome, swinging her legs and regarding Bren with a mischievous expression. “You can tell us, you know. If you’re just trying to get the discount. You didn’t have to drag your friend into it.”

Bren recognized an interrogation tactic when he saw one. “Divide us and grill us for information?” he asked. “You will have to do better than that.”

Pearl smirked and removed a sheet of parchment from her pocket, glancing over it. “Then I hope you won’t mind answering a few questions,” she said. “What is your lover’s favorite breakfast dish?”

Bren huffed - it wasn’t like he paid enough attention to Thelyss to know that—

A memory rose, unbidden. “I am not a fan of sweets,” Thelyss told him, primly dabbing at his mouth with his napkin. “Not even in breakfast foods.”

Bren laughed. “If my homeland’s apple pancakes are not up to snuff, what do you prefer?”

Thelyss stared at him coolly for a moment. “We make ours with scallions,” he said at last. “They are my favorite.”

“He likes scallion pancakes,” Bren said confidently. Pearl made a little note on her parchment and raised her eyebrows, but the gnomish woman nodded.

“Okay, we’ll see if that’s right in a minute. Next question. If you could be any animal, what would it be?”

These questions were ridiculous, but Bren really wanted that manuscript. Obviously, they were intending to see if his answers matched up with Thelyss’s. “I would be a cat,” he said as though it was a no-brainer.

Pearl made another note on the parchment. “Ok. Final question. What’s one thing that you do that drives your lover insane?”

“Not in a good way,” the gnome added, looking at him imperiously through her half-moon glasses. Bren was getting the impression that she was the owner of this establishment and thus the person who would call the shots on the final judgment of their charade.

Bren had been about to answer with sexual innuendo; he paused, realizing in a flash of insight that it would get him nowhere. He needed a serious response…

What did he do that made Thelyss want to smack him? Well, pretty much everything. What would Thelyss respond?


“It annoys him that I am a smug asshole,” Bren said.

The gnome didn’t even skip a beat. “That, at least, sounds like the truth,” she said offhand to Pearl.

Pearl pulled out a wire and Sent “we’re done,” presumably to her colleague. A moment later, the elf and Thelyss returned from the stacks, Thelyss looking even more like a thundercloud. Leonard walked up to Pearl and handed her an identical piece of parchment; she compared the two side by side, her eyes widening. Wordlessly, she handed both scraps of paper to the gnomish woman.

The gnome regarded them carefully. “’Scallion pancakes’,” she read from the list. “A cat. He’s a smug asshole.” She looked astonished. “That’s…”

“That’s the most accurate any couple has been,” Pearl said. “Word for word.”

Something flipped uncomfortably in Bren’s stomach. It would have been one thing if they’d known the questions ahead of time and had a chance to prepare; these had all been off the cuff, totally just because they spent so much time together. Were he and Thelyss really that compatible?

Did that really mean something?

He shoved the thought out of his head; they’d won, and that was all that mattered. Putting on his smuggest smile just for Thelyss’s benefit, he walked up to the store employees and pointed at the manuscript, which sat behind the counter in glass casing.

“In that case,” he said. “We would greatly appreciate your discount on that book right there. You see, it is a gift for our anniversary.”

He was going to pay for that later; he could feel Thelyss glaring daggers at the back of his neck. But oh, was it worth it for the look on his face.

Worth Waiting For

Uhh, okay, this is my first ever fanfic! I might continue it based on the reception, but it was a few thoughts I had in my head that I wanted down on paper. 

18+! Some sexual themes and content throughout, however for those experienced smut readers, this is some mild sauce, not very much spice.

I have to credit @cyancherub for making me think about Kiri smelling like cinnamon, the thought hasn’t left my brain.

Kirishima x Fem!reader 

A cool breeze whispers through the slightly ajar window of your dorm room. The sun set a little while ago; studying always seems to eat up most of your free time, so this wasn’t exactly a surprise. You lean back in your desk chair, arms up, and stretch your muscles into a big yawn. The sudden contracting muscles have your stomach gurgling. It’s definitely time to take a break, so you close your textbook and stand up from your desk. I wonder if there’s any of those expensive sounding potato chips that Momo bought back from her trip abroad left over? The thought makes you salivate as you begin towards your door. You glance to the mirror in the corner and look at your own reflection: hair pulled into a loose, messy bun, torso swallowed up by an old band shirt Denki gave you (after a conversation initiated by Mineta on what you liked to wear to bed) and bare legs sticking out from the hem. Shouldn’t be a problem, as long as Iida isn’t feeling like a stick in the mud this evening. You open your door and begin creeping your way to the kitchen, hoping to keep noise levels to a minimum as to not disturb anyone who might be sleeping already.

Your ears perk up when you hear conversation coming from the communal area.

“On a scale from 1-10, with ten being the most boring, you have exceeded my expectations and we’ve hit an 11.”

“Shut up dude, it’s an absolute cinematic masterpiece. This is why you don’t have the remote- we’d be watching Care Bears or some shit.”

You approach the seating area to see Bakugou, Kirishima, Sero and Denki. The latter two arguing over what to watch. Bakugou looks like he’s about to blow a fuse, so Kirishima chimes in,

“Hahah, okay guys, why don’t we just watch a horror movie, like Scream or something? It’s an easy watch.”

“Sounds like a good idea as long as Kaminari doesn’t shit himself.” Sero tries to start again, but this is perfect timing for you to interject.

“Sero, I’m sorry, last time I checked, you’re the one who had to ‘leave suddenly’ when we watched Halloween.” A smirk appears on your face from ear to ear as all four boys turn their head your direction. You notice an empty spot next to Kiri and take the opportunity to sit, careful not to flash anyone.

“Hey Y/N don’t be startin’ on me. I have plenty of stories about you that we could share you know? What about the Jaegerbomb incident?” Sero matched your grin, and you feign shock by slapping your hand to your heart.

“You’re breaking my heart, Hanta. Are you the only ones up?”

“Yeah Iida sort of ‘encouraged’ everyone to go to bed early because of the test tomorrow, but” Denki motions in Bakugou’s direction “the angry Pomeranian barked and he gave up with us.” Bakugou snaps his head up from his phone to stare Denki down, but realizing he’s just proving his point, sighs and goes back to scrolling on his phone.

“You okay Baku-babe?” he grunts and flips you off, but you could see the corner of his lip turn up in a weak smile at the affectionate nickname. You knew he meant well, especially after the time you had spent together over the last summer with the guys; he just had a defensive temperament.

“You wanna join us, y/n?” Kiri propositions with a wide grin. His hair was still styled into sharp points from classes today, contrasting with his relaxed clothing choice of a t-shirt, shorts and crocs. He’d also made the addition of a white bandana around his forehead. As usual, he was looking incredible.

After the time spent together as a group over the break, it was great to get to know everyone better. As Sero’s oldest friend, it was always easier to stick by him, which had ended up in your favour by meeting these clowns. You’d slowly got closer to the other three boys too, but there was something about Kirishima you couldn’t shake.

The way you felt when you were left together alone in the same room at a party, or when the other guys ended up flaking so you spent the night together at his place, there was always a feeling of excitement, in more ways than one.

You’ve never been very good at flirting and you just seem to come across as an anxious mess, but Kiri was pretty much just as bad. Meaning neither of you ever made a move. Just awkward giggles and eye contact that lasted just a little bit too long for friends.

“I actually came to steal some of Momo’s fancy chips but yeah, let me get a snack and I’ll be ready. You guys want anything?” You get up off the couch and start your way to the kitchen.

“BEER. BEER. BEER.” Denki chants, making you giggle.

“Oh I’ll come and help you carry them!” Kiri jumps up to follow behind you. You can hear Sero make a ‘wha-PISH’ whipping sound which makes Denki burst out with laughter. In their defense, it was painfully obvious you were both pining for each other.

The kitchen isn’t far but it is out of earshot of the sitting area. You open the cupboard in the corner to find Momo’s chip bag, left sat there completely empty. “Oh come ON” you sigh, picking up the bag and placing it in the trash.

“No chips left? Don’t worry I got you covered.” Kiri stretches to the gap between the top of the cupboard and the ceiling, feeling about with his hand. Your eyes fixate on the skin that is now showing just above the waistband of his shorts. You slowly move your view up the side of his torso, his shirt draping over his body in all the right places, and then to his face, one eye closed and tongue sticking out in concentration. He totally caught you checking him out and now you’re both stood there blushing like idiots. He finally located the bag he was looking for and brings his hands back down, showing off the slightly dusty bag of unopened chips.

“These are your favourites, right?” You stand in bewilderment looking at the bag and nod. “There are many bonuses to being one of the tallest in this dorm” he grins. He even remembered your favourite chips? You can’t help but smile back.

“Thank you so much. Oh let me get the beers!” you walk over to the fridge and open it up, bending over to search for the well hidden cans. You know your ass is on show, and you’re doing everything you can to make it the best view. Arching your back slightly, barely moving your hips from side to side, putting on a full show without being too obvious. “Ah I found them!” You gather them into your arms, the cold metal against your skin sending shivers up your spine and making your nipples protrude from the thin material of your shirt. You stand back up and close the fridge, turning around to a very red in the face Kirishima. You send a sweet smile his way.

“Do you mind taking a couple they’re coldddd” you whine. He composes himself and grabs the first can he can see looking ready to fall. He then proceeds to take another, slowly exposing more of your chest and your hardened nipples. You notice his eyes dart to them and then back on the beers. Are you two really going to carry on like this? Acting like the sexual tension couldn’t be cut with a knife? His wandering eyes now have you blushing and you’re quick to fill the hanging silence. “Should we really be drinking when we have a test tomorrow? I’m no NARC but you know what Denki can get like. He’ll wake up the whole house.”

“It’ll be fine. The only ones that know where the rest of the stash is are you and me. As long as you can keep a secret, we’re Gucci” he winks.

“Did you… really just use the term ‘Gucci’? like completely unironically?” You laugh, nudging his side.

“Shut upppp y/n. Come on let’s get back to them before Bakugo kills Dumb and Dumber.”

 “Hoes and bros we come bearing beverages!” You walk in and pass out the three beers you held to the boys, Kiri slowly following with the chips and the last two drinks.

“Wait, who are the hoes?..... oh.” Kaminari has a moment of self-realization and stares at the beer in his hand.

“Denki don’t listen to her, she is the last one to be calling anyone a hoe” Sero hits you with another of what will be many insults of the night.

“Uhhhh says the guys who has a body count tally on his wall. If you ever get with Mina you’re going to need to take a trip to Home Depot to paint over those you know?” You counter.

“Can we watch the damn film already?! Could’ve watched half the fucking thing by now.” Bakugou finally lets off some of the pent up steam. Both you and Denki lift your arms up to your forehead in a salute. “Yes sir!”

Grabbing a blanket, you and Kiri get back into your original seats next to each other on the sofa furthest away from the TV. Sero is on the chair to Kiri’s right, sprawled over it in the most boyish way possible, legs stretched wide and arms hanging over the back. Denki and Bakugo share the sofa to your left, Bakugou reserved to the spot at the very end, finally turning his phone off, while Denki almost mimics Sero’s positioning, but one hand is wrapped around his beer chugging it a bit too fast. Sero presses play as you sit back into the sofa. Kiri’s arm is already draped over the back of the headrest, and it’s only a matter of time until his arm drapes around your shoulder and you lean into him.

You’re about ten minutes into the movie when he starts to move his fingers in little circles on your upper arm. If anyone saw you right now, they’d assume you two were together. The months you’ve both spent flirting and teasing, the light touches and the lingering cuddles. This is becoming unbearable for you, its overwhelming. How haven’t you kissed yet? You weren’t really a ‘hoe’ as Sero said, but you certainly weren’t inexperienced and have never had this trouble before, so what was stopping you now? If things continued like this, you were going to explode.

You look up at Kiri, admiring the contours of his face against the light of the TV. The way his eyebrows slightly furrow, and the way he’s chewing his bottom lip between his teeth in concentration. You inhale the mild aroma of cinnamon, which is a scent that follows him around everywhere. You’re certain he’s aware you are staring, by the light blush reforming on his cheeks, but he allows you to for just a little longer. Right up until Denki yelps aloud from a minor jump scare in the film, causing you to jolt yourself and grab onto Kiri’s shirt.

“Don’t tell me you’re scared?” he asks, voice low and husky. “Don’t worry, I got you.” He lifts his free arm and tucks a loose strand of hair behind your ear.

“I-I wasn’t scared. Denki made me jump” you pout.

“Aww, even worse haha” he chuckles, the vibrations flow through your body, straight to your core, making you instantly wet. If he ever really knew the affect he had, you might just die from embarrassment. You release his shirt and return your head to his shoulder; however, his hand has maneuvered itself away from your upper arm and is now placed on your hip. The large amount of warmth is slowly followed by a very light squeeze of reassurance, and you’ve never been more aware that you aren’t wearing any shorts.

His breathing has now quickened, and his hand feels like it might even be shaking a little bit. He was so nervous, which makes him even more endearing. A wave of adrenaline rushed through you as you lift your hand to rest atop of his, to give him the assurance that it is absolutely okay to have his hand there.

About three quarters of the way into the film, all drinks have been consumed, chips have been eaten, Sero pauses and gets up for a pee break. “Couldn’t your bladder have waited? There isn’t that much longer left Se-bro” Kiri teases

“Ei, I don’t think I know anyone who could wait as long as you have” he leans down and darts his eyes between the two of you. You glare with intent to BURN. You thought too long for a comeback and unfortunately, he’s already happily waltzing off to the bathroom.

Kiri turns to you with a smile and lowers his voice. “Did nobody tell tape face that anything worth having is worth waiting for?” and you swear in that moment an entire flutter of butterflies were trying to escape you. That’s the most direct he’s ever been and it’s not something easy to ignore.

“I know you both have hidden the beer and I take personal offense.” Denki bellows. “I bet it’s on top of the cupboard where Kiri keeps all the good stuff” and he gets up and skips off to the kitchen, fully convinced he’s going to find what he’s looking for.

“I’m going to bed. Gotta be up early and you extras are pissing me off.” Bakugou gets up and stretches. “Love you, Bakubro! Mwah!” both you and Kiri heckle him with air kisses and you are met with yet another middle finger as he strolls off to his dorm room, that small smirk still present.

There’s that feeling coming back again. The way you feel whenever you’re alone with Kirishima. But this is the most compromised you’ve been: you’re basically half naked, he’s got his hand on your hip and he just dropped an absolute bomb of a line thanks to Sero. You can’t help yourself and before you truly think it through,

“Ei, I think I’m done waiting.” You lift your head off his shoulder, faces only a few inches apart. You can feel both your heart rates quicken in sync and your bodies getting hotter. He raises his hand and takes your chin in his hand, urging your lips forward onto his. The anticipated contact sends electricity through your body and the kiss deepens quickly, his tongue licks your lower lip asking for entrance and you accept immediately, releasing a soft moan from the motion.

You twist your body round so that you’re straddling his thigh, his wandering hand had slipped under the fabric of your shirt in the same place, playing with the fabric of your underwear. Your hands find their way to the back of his head, pushing him further into your mouth. You both are getting sloppy as lust takes over and you find your hips involuntarily grinding on his thigh. He breaks away from the kiss, pulling at your lower lip and working his way down your jaw to your neck, nipping and sucking lightly, causing louder moans to escape you.

“So- fucking long- I’ve waited- to touch you like this” he groans out between kisses and bites, sure to leave a mark. “Sound so pretty”

“Ah- me too, I- fuck” the stimulation from his voice and touch is almost overwhelming, but clarity sets in quicker than you’d like it too. “Sero will- ah- be back any second” and you release your grip on his hair. He’s really trying to pout at you, but he can’t help let his goofy smile beam through. You stare at each other for a few seconds, both absolutely beaming with happiness. He lets out an almighty sigh,

“Uggggh, you’re right. Hey, what are you doing after this?” he asks as you settle back down next to him, making you chuckle.

“Well I was planning on going back to my dorm and sleeping. Unless you have a better offer?” you beam.

“Well…” his grin gets wider, “you know there’s a sequel to Scream, yknow? Think you might wanna… what’s it called..”

“Scream 2.”

“I can make you scream, too. Sure”  and you erupt into laughter together, from his disgustingly awful pun.

Sero approaches from the corridor “Well you two sure can clear a room.”

“I’d blame it on Kiri’s terrible puns, but Bakubabe went to bed and Electabuzz is currently trying to find the rest of the beer but- oh there you are” Denki walks in, with a pout on his face, and flops back on the couch in disappointment.

“Denks, how about we throw a little party tomorrow after the test. We’ll let you in on where the secret stash is, too.” You offer, his expression immediately switching to that of delight.

Even though there was only a half hour left of the movie, it felt like hours until the end credits started rolling. Denki had managed to fall asleep and was snoring at full velocity, and the only person left paying full attention was Sero, as you couldn’t stop your brain from wandering from anticipation.

He shut the TV off and you tasked yourself with waking up Denki while Kiri cleaned up the empty beer bottles.

“Kami, come on sweetie, you need to go to bed.” You nudge him slightly causing him to stir. Sero walks over, and gives him a hard slap on the ass

‘WAKE UP ASSHOLE! Iida will kill you if you sleep on the couch”

“…I- sleep- your mom-..” he sits up and rubs his eyes

“Don’t be so rough Sero, he’s so sleepy look at hiiiimm” You say, admiring how cute he looked in such tired state. Kaminari finally gets up and all four of you head to the lift… shit.

You are Denki are on the 3rd floor, Kiri is on the 4th and Sero is on the 5th… how are you going to get to Kiri’s room without being suspicious?

A/N: Thank you if you read this in full! Please let me know what you think and if you’d be wanting to read the next part (which would include a lot more spice!)

Music: To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra and Cinnamon by Jome

They had started trying a few months ago and she had never expected to see the second line on the test so soon. Excitement and nerves flooded her as she looked at the little plastic stick. She had thought they would have a little more time, though she couldn’t think of what they would have needed it for. Seonghwa had been making plans since they first discussed trying. Plans for the babies room, plans for names, plans for clothes and accessories, and had even spent hours online already looking at strollers, cribs, toys, swings, and gliding rockers. Every day he came home with another plan or idea that had popped into his head during the day, a bright sparkle in his eyes as he told her all about it.

Part of her wanted to just snap a picture and send it to him right away, but she didn’t want to miss seeing his reaction. It was sure to be priceless, so instead she went to find a little box she could wrap up and give him as a surprise over dessert tonight. They needed to have something special, but she couldn’t let him know until the time was right.

“You ordered dinner for us tonight?” Hwa noted as he came in after work.

��I wanted to have my favorite meal tonight,” she answered, coming up to give him his hello kiss. “I was just hoping you wouldn’t be late today. The pancakes aren’t as good when you have to heat them up again.”

“You could have told me and I would have been sure to be home on time,” he scolded gently, his hand resting on her shoulder.

“It’s okay,” she shrugged. “If there was something important… I could have waited.”

“Next time tell me,” he insisted. “Then I can at least let you know if something has come up so you aren’t just waiting on me.”

“But I didn’t have to wait,” she pointed out.

“I just want to know, love,” he pressed a kiss to her temple before brushing past to change before dinner. “Go ahead and sit. I’ll be right there.”

She nodded and walked to the kitchen to check on the two little cakes in the fridge at the same time she got drinks for the both of them to go with dinner. Hopefully he wouldn’t come poking around in there. If he saw them, she thought he might start suspecting something was up.

Setting a plate and a drink for each of them on the coffee table, she wrapped herself in the throw on the couch and turned on a little something for them to watch while they ate. Seonghwa quickly returned, now dressed in a simple t-shirt and sweatpants, and cuddled in beside her, plate on his lap. She couldn’t keep her hand from pressing against her stomach now and again as she ate small bites of the kimchi pancakes tucked in against his side.

“Are you feeling alright?” He asked, having noted that she was pecking at her food more than eating it.

“Yes, just taking my time,” she shook her head, making a special effort to take a bigger bite.

“You aren’t dieting are you?” He turned to look at her, setting his plate to the side. “If we’re trying, now isn’t the time to be trying to lose weight, my love. Do you want to take a walk after dinner?”

“No, no, I mean, we can, but I’m not trying to be careful about eating,” with a sigh she set her own half finished plate down and started to get up. “I’m just nervous. Look I got us something special for after dinner and everything.” She pointed out as she headed to the kitchen to get the two little strawberry shortcakes… and the little ‘gift’ she had wrapped for him. Seonghwa stood up, following his wife into the kitchen to see what she was upto.

“Grab a couple of small plates for me?” She asked as she opened the refrigerator door.

“Little forks too?” The question was spoken over the slight clang of dishes hitting each other and then the counter.

“Yes please,” she agreed, carefully removing the box from the shelf. “Can you make a couple of coffees as well?”

“Of course,” he agreed, happily pulling a couple of mugs from the cabinet. Transferring the cakes to the little plates, she took them out to the coffee table, tucking the present in the folds of the blanket as she waited for him to come with the hot, coffee filled mugs.

Seonghwa emerged from the kitchen, a broad grin on his face as his eyes landed on the red and white dessert. He loved how loving and thoughtful she was, always happy to make a special effort...just because, and he loved it.

“Thank you, jagiya,” he kissed her cheek, holding the little plate in his lap. “I love strawberries.”

“I know,” she giggled, loving the tickle of his breath against her ear. “I wanted to talk to you about something, though.”

“Is it about trying?” He questioned, stiffening slightly in his seat, a flutter of nerves filling his stomach. “Are not ready? We can wait if you aren’t--”

“No, wait… are you not ready?” A quick jolt of worry when through her at how quick he was to talk about waiting.

“No, I just thought, maybe you weren’t,” he soothed. “And as much as I want to have a baby with you, I want us both to be really ready for it. It would be okay, if you weren’t yet. I can wait for you.”

“Well,” she cleared her throat, grasping the little box in her hand as she began. “You don’t have to wait.” Handing him the box, she bit her lip as she watched his hand take it, a little questioning look flitting across his face. Flipping it over, he carefully tore open the wrapping paper before lifting the lid off the box. It took him a second to recognise what lay on the puffy cotton lining but when it hit him, an expression of absolute delight came across his face. His jaw dropped and he pulled the test out, looking closely at the little window.

“Two lines mean baby?” He asked, letting the box drop to the floor.

“Yes,” she nodded with a bright smile.

“We did it?” He asked, his eyes flitting between her face and the test. Giving him a confirming nod, she took the test and put it on the table with their deserts. Emotions burst through Seonghwa like a flood. He didn’t think he had ever felt joy like that before in his life. Tears obscured his vision as he leaned forward to bring his lips to hers in a kiss of pure happiness. A thousand thoughts went through his mind in a jumble of questions and plans, hopes and dreams.

“There is so much I have to do,” he gave a watery chuckle, kissing her eyelids as he pulled her into his lap. “We need to paint the baby’s room soon so the paint isn’t too fresh when the baby comes home. And furniture. It will need somewhere to sleep, unless we are co-sleeping? Even if we are, the baby will still need a crib for naps. What about maternity clothes? Should we go shopping--”

“Aein, let’s just be excited for tonight,” she laughed sweetly. “We can plan tomorrow. For today, just kiss me?”

“Forever,” he promised, framing her face as he took her lips in a celebratory kiss.

“Hwa, can you loosen your grip a little,” she asked as she lay on the exam table for their first ultrasound.

“Sorry,” he gave her a chasened smile. “I’m just so excited. I want to meet our little bean. It doesn’t feel real yet even though I know it's in there.”

“I know,” she nodded, looking down toward her belly. “What if the test was wrong? What if it’s not there when they check?”

“It will be,” his voice was full of confidence as he smiled down at her. “And if it isn’t then we get to keep trying. I’ve enjoyed that part too.”

“Hush,” she snapped quickly, a blush rising on her cheeks. “What if the doctor came in?”

“Then they would know how madly in love with my wife I am.” He gave a shy smile and rubbed her hand between both of his, letting out just a little of his nervous energy. She just shook her head and let it fall back onto the paper covered pillow. In only a few more moments the door opened again and a neatly dressed middle-aged woman came in dressed in cheery yellow scrubs.

“Hello everyone,” she smiled down at them both, making her way over to the other side of the exam table. “This is your first visit with us, isn’t it?”

“Yes,” Seonghwa said from beside his wife. “Will we be able to see much this time?”

“Well lets see,” the nurse gave him a patient look. “First thing I need is for you to lift your shirt and tuck this in to keep the gel from getting on it. And then we will undo your jeans a little and put this towel over your lap to keep those clean as well.” She nodded, taking her shirt up and tucking the towel in over it as the nurse lowered the waistband of her jeans and tucked a second towel in around her hips. “Very good. Let me grab the gel from the warmer and we can get a little on your tummy so we can see baby more clearly.” She turned and pulled a large bottle from a holder on the wall. Putting a generous blob onto the now bare tummy of the mother to be, the nurse picked up the sensor of the ultrasound and began her examination.

Seonghwa leaned forward, eyes glued to the screen filled with smudges of grays that went from almost black to almost white. He practically held his breath as he waited to see something, though he wasn’t sure what he was really looking for.

“There we are,” the nurse said, looking at the screen.

“There what is?”  He asked, seeing only a black blob on the screen.

“Right here,” she pointed at a small spot inside the black blob. “Do you see that little flutter? That is baby’s heartbeat.”

“That’s it?” He stood up to lean closer, as if getting nearer the screen would make it clearer.

“That’s it,” the nurse chuckled. “I know it is hard to see and it doesn’t quite look like a baby just yet, but it is there and the heartbeat looks good.”

“It’s okay? It’s really there?” She asked, eyes glued to the same place as her husband’s.

“Everything looks wonderful,” the nurse confirmed, handing a tissue to Seonghwa to wipe away the silent, happy tears that were rolling down his cheeks.

“Okay, do we want it to be cherry or black?” Seonghwa asked as he looked at the baby furniture set they had chosen on the website.

“I like the cherry better,” she replied, biting her bottom lip. “I know you like neutrals and all, but I want the baby’s space to have some color and warmth.”

“What about the wall color?” He turned to look at her directly, pulling her against him as he looked up into her face. “We don’t know if it's a boy or girl yet. Are we going to wait to know before we pick colors?”

“I was thinking… I don’t want to know,” she told him nervously. “I think I want it to be a surprise.”

“You don’t want to know?” His eyebrows raised in surprise. “What about baby clothes and toys?”

“Well there are plenty of clothes that work for both and I was thinking of a mint color for the walls of the room,” she looked at him, cupping his cheek as she looked into his questioning gaze.

“Okay,” he nodded. “Warm natural shades for our little whoever. What about a theme? Maybe make it like a secret garden? Plants and butterflies and flowers?”

“I like it,” she grinned. “Someplace relaxing and welcoming to take care of baby.”

“Good, cherry it is then,” he leaned his head against her chest, taking a moment to listen to the sweet sound of her heartbeat.

“Can we get some netting to put around the cradle?” She suggested. “We can put some flowers and stuff on it rather than a mobile.”

“I love the idea,” he giggled. “What about daisies and those little black and white butterflies? I could dangle some with fishing line so they look like they are floating?”

“Oh I love it,” she gave a happy sigh. “The room has so much light. Let’s hang crystals in the window, get rainbows sparkling on the walls.”

“Rainbows all over,” he chuckled. “And a little moon nightlight.”

“Thank you for indulging me,” she said gratefully.

“Indulging you? No, jagiya,” he beamed. “I love the idea of our baby growing up in a safe little garden surrounded by rainbows and butterflies.”

“Yeah?” She kissed the tip of his nose.

“A little garden for our little fae,” He nuzzled, lifting his lips to hers. “Our baby is going to be so beautiful, just like their mommy.”

“You mean like daddy,” she corrected with a chortle.

“No love,” he shook his head. “You always take my breath away, my love. If we have a baby that has your face, I would consider them to be so lucky.” Unable to think of something to say to that, she settled for pulling his face to hers, giving him a warm, sweet kiss.

“Did you know little Hyunjin is the size of a mango right now?” Hwa asked, not looking up from the book he was reading from beside her on the couch.

“A mango huh?” She asked, splaying a hand on her sweater covered bump. “Actually that sounds really good right now. I don’t suppose we have any, do we?”

“Mango? No but I can run to the store,” he let the book close and started to stand up.

“No, you don’t need to do that,” she waved at him to come back and sit with her on the couch again. “It’s just a whim. I’m not even that hungry at the moment.”

“But you are hungry,” he said, moving to go into the kitchen. “Fruit? I think we have some, let me see what we have,”

“No—” she started before giving up as he disappeared into the kitchen. “I don’t need to eat anything at this point. I already feel like a whale.”

“What was that, babe?” He asked, carrying a bowl stacked high with fruit.

“Nothing,” she sighed. “I’m just… not that hungry at the moment.”

“But our Hyunnie needs plenty of energy to grow big and strong,” he coaxed gently. “Grapes for my babies?” Seonghwa held a couple up near her mouth and made little om-nom-nom sounds at her.

“I don’t know that I want to eat,” she sighed tiredly. “I feel… gross.” She cringed at her own words.

“Gross?” He sat up ramrod straight and looked down at her slumped figure.

“You don’t have to say I’m pretty or something,” she huffed, slouching down into the couch even more. “I know it’s hormones and stuff but I don’t like feeling like I am huge and bumping out in all the wrong places.”

“Wrong places,” he sputtered, placing the bowl of fruit on the table.

“Forget I said anything,” she sighed, pulling herself into a sitting position. “Just hand me the fruit. I’ll eat.”

“Um-mmm, no love,” he shook his head, hooking a finger under her chin to bring her eyes up to his. “Don’t I tell you every day how pretty you are so sweet and round with our baby?”

“Yes, but you have to say that,” she shook her head and looked away.

“I have to because it’s true,” he assured her, pulling her to sit in his lap. “Every time I look at you my heart swells with gratitude and pride that you are carrying my baby. I look at you and I fall in love over and over. If I woke up tomorrow and didn’t know who I was, my heart would still know you, my love for you is so deep.”

“I know you love me,” she shrugged. “But I don’t think you find me pretty like you used to. I know I don’t.”

“You’re right,” he admitted, picking her up to carry her to their bedroom. “You’re even more beautiful to me now.”

“You don’t have to say that,” she shook her head as she clung tightly to his shoulders. “And you don’t have to carry me. I know I’ve gotten heavy.”

“Shush, you are light as a feather, my love,” he said as he stepped confidently through the hallway and into their room. Laying her on the soft duvet as close to the center of the bed as he could manage, he turned on the string of lights that wrapped around the top frame of the four poster bed, bathing them both in their soft, warm glow. “I’m an idiot to have let you feel like you are anything but a goddess like this.”

“Look at me,” she huffed and hid her face behind her hands. “My hips have gotten huge, I have all these stretch marks, my boobs don’t fit in my bra right, my thighs are bumpy, and look at how my arms even jiggle.”

“Your boobs have grown,” he agreed, giving a thumbs up and giving an approving wink and click of his tongue. “More to fill my hands.” Reaching out, he gently cupped them with his elegant fingers. “And the stretch marks, I’ll never be able to see them without feeling so much gratitude for how you got them. You’re like magic; growing a whole new person inside you.”

“It doesn’t make them any prettier,” she shook her head.

“They are pretty to me,” he soothed. “Let me look at you, my love. It’s been a little while hasn’t it? I’ve been so worried about not making you uncomfortable with my wants, I made you think I didn’t have them. Let me show you how much I still want you.”

“You don’t have to make a big show of it just because I feel ugly,” she gave him a half smile.

“It’s not a show,” he insisted, guiding one of her hands to come and rest on the erection confined in his slacks. “I want my beautiful wife. I want to hold her and feel her around me again. It’s been too long.”

“Not just to make me feel better?” She made him promise. “You really want me?”

“So fucking much,” Seonghwa stretched out beside her, turning her hopefilled face to him. Closing his eyes he pressed his lips to hers and took a moment to feel the brush of their softness against his own, feeling a sweet pang course though him. The soft whimpering sound she made when his hand slid down from her face to graze along the side of her neck undid him and he found himself groping clumsily to remove their clothes like he was a bumbling teenager all over again.

As quickly as he could manage, and with far less grace than he had hoped, Seonghwa pulled off both of their clothes, leaving them as physically naked as their emotions were. He had been holding back, trying to give her space and provide her with every comfort and meet her every need. The first few months nothing had changed almost to where he wasn’t sure the baby was still there until he touched her tummy or he saw the weary nausea the little creature caused her. But when that first pooch started to show he started being cautious. First, just being sure not to let his weight rest on her too heavily, then having her straddle him when they made love. Slowly he noticed how she moved differently and became shyer with letting him see her like that. He hadn’t pressed her, or asked her why, not wanting her to feel pressured by his wants when she had already given him so much.

He coaxed her to lay out on the duvet, open to his gaze, and sat up beside her on the bed. His eyes traveled the length of her from head to toes and back without hesitation, taking her in. She was so beautiful. It was obvious to him now, and he should have asked, that it hadn’t been discomfort or a lack of desire that had brought that reluctance from her. It had been shame in her beautiful body. She hadn’t wanted to be on display when they made love.

“I’m sorry I let you think even for a moment that you were anything less than beautiful,” he apologized gently.

“You didn’t,” she tried, but Hwa gently touched her lips.

“When you pulled away I didn’t ask,” he shook his head. “I forgot to tell you how beautiful you are. Something I should do every day. I won’t slip again.” He swore, lifting one of her arms so he could kiss the inside of her wrist. “Every day I’ll pick something about you and sing it’s praise until you understand the way I love and adore every inch of you.”

“You don’t have to,” she looked up at him, reaching to pull him close. “Just make love to me.”

“Hush,” he teased. “Let me do this right.” Reaching out, he spread a hand out over her stomach, gently rubbing the soft roundness there. “I think I want to start with this. This beautiful curve that says how much you love me. So much that you let me fill you with new life and are loving and nurturing it in a way I can’t for almost a year. It’s… such a gift. And when I look at you all round and full, all I can think is that I would do it a hundred times just to see how breathtaking you look filled with my baby.”

“You don’t find it… weird?” She asked, watching his hand move over her belly.

“Weird?” His brow furrowed.

“I mean aside from being fat,” she pulled herself up on her elbows and looked at her stomach like it was something foreign to her. “There’s someone in there. And I think they can already feel and hear what’s going on.”

“It is a little funny,” He admitted, curling up beside her so he could press his forehead to the bump. “Hello little Hyunjinnie. You should know how much I love your mommy. You are here because we wanted to have something so special together. I’m going to make love to her and you’re just going to have to close your ears for a little bit. Because she was my wife before she was your mom, so I have prior claim, okay?”

“Hwa,” she laughed.

“My child and I are coming to an understanding, okay?” He laughed, a joyful sound though his expression looked slightly pained as it was wont to do sometimes.

“I love you,” she laughed, a happy tear sparkling down her cheek.

“Now,” he said, moving to lay down on the bed and guiding her to roll onto her side so he could spoon her from behind. “Let me make love to the most beautiful woman on earth.” He slid one thigh between hers and pulled her flush against his body. Pressing a kiss to her shoulder, he let his hand wander, cupping her breast and stroking down the curve of the side of her belly until his fingers reached the apex of her thighs. He could feel her becoming damp and slid a teasing fingertip over the soft slit of her lips.

“Oh Hwa,” she breathed, arching against him.

“Tell me you want me,” he whispered into the shell of her ear.

“I need you like I need air right now,” she murmured, using her hand to guide his fingers to brush her pulsing clit.

“I left my girl alone for too long,” he cooed. “I let her go feeling unloved when I really wanted nothing more than to live buried inside her. To make our two bodies one.”

She moaned as he made circles around her sensitive nub.

“Please,” she begged breathlessly. “I want you inside me. I feel so empty without you.”

“Empty,” he teased, speeding up the movements of his fingers. “When I’ve left you so full?”

“It’s not the same,” she whined.

“I know,” he soothed, kissing her shoulder. “Come for me like this and I’ll fill you up with all of me.”

She squeezed her eyes shut, concentrating on the feel of his fingers and the warmth of his breath against the back of her neck. Her body fluttered and Hwa whispered praise for her beauty and her heart. She came apart in his arms, becoming a squirming mess as he held her against him. The sounds of her pleasure drove him wild. He had missed this, had missed the warmth of her body, the smell of her hair, and the sound of her going wild at his touch.

“I love you,” he whispered as she came down, holding her and nipping at her sweat salted skin.

“Hwa, you promised,” she whined, grinding back into his lap.

“I will,” he promised, pulling back enough to reach into the bedside drawer. Pulling out their old familiar bottle of lube, he got himself ready to enter her waiting body. “Are you ready for me?”

“I have been… so long,” she sighed, lifting one leg up to allow him access to her body.

“Angel,” he murmured, pulling her close and lining up his body with hers. “You are so beautiful. You are my everything. Thank you for giving me the gift of your love and this.” His palm caressed her bump as he pushed inside her. “Everything you bring to my life is a gift.”

“Oh Hwa,” she groaned, twining her fingers with his as he held her flush against him. He whispered words of love as he slid himself in and out of her body enjoying the sensation of her surrounding him, something he had been too long without. She was his haven and his comfort and the closeness made his heart swell in his chest. He could feel the prickle tears tickling the back of his eyes as emotion rolled through him like stormy waves.

His orgasm hit him with the intensity he hadn’t felt since their wedding night, that first time when he was with her when she was really his. It wasn’t their first time, but it was the first time they belonged to each other.  It had meant everything to him and for a moment he had worried she would judge him for letting the rush of sentimentality overwhelm him as he collapsed onto her. Instead she had offered him love and comfort, entwining her limbs with his until he couldn’t tell where one of them ended and the other began. He had laughed and cried and held her until the light of dawn had shown through the window of their hotel room. Only then had they let exhaustion pull them under. He would never forget the shine of her skin in the milky light of dawn. That perfect moment had not been matched until this one as they lay together, spooning and sticky in the candle like glow of the string of lights.

“My everything,” he panted, pressing a kiss to the back of her head and balling their fists together as he kept himself buried inside her as he slowly went soft.

“Love you,” she slurred sleepily, letting her eyes close.

“Do you need help changing babe?” Seonghwa asked from the opposite side of the dressing screen.

“No, I don’t think so,” she sighed, fidgeting with the gauzy sleeve of the maternity dress. She stepped out from behind it, feeling a little self conscious with her belly out on full view.

“You look beautiful,” he beamed at her, leaning down to give the baby a kiss before leaning in to press a second to her lips. “Ready for some pictures?”

“Yeah,” she sighed, waddling forward. “I’m just not sure about the bare belly thing.”

“You look incredible,” he assured her. “But we can make some adjustments if you want to cover up a little more.”

“No, its okay,” she put a hand on her lower back as a little dull pain flared there. “But I’m warning you. We are having some little alien moments with Hyunjin on the move.”

“Hmmm?” He asked, his eyes locking on her belly as he walked beside her.

“Here,” she turned so he could see the other side and paused, giving the lower part a little pat. After a second the tiny outline of a hand pressed back.

“Well, hello there baby,” he cooed excitedly, brushing a hand over the little bump.

“I think we are doing some somersaults getting ready to come out,” her voice was a little breathless and strained. Seonghwa straightened up and moved to support her as they walked over to the place that was all set up for their pictures.

The photographer took a few candid pictures as the couple moved around to get comfortable. They were one of the most precious couples he had had the honor of photographing. Seonghwa was clearly smitten for his wife and their unborn child and his wife glowed when she looked at him. They were that sort of forever couple, he had decided moments after meeting them. Death was going to be the only thing that pulled them apart, and with any luck, that would be decades and decades in the future.

“Oh god,” she whimpered, holding onto the bar as she knelt on the bed in the delivery room, another contraction squeezing her.

“You’re so brave, baby,” he praised. “You’re doing so well. Just a little longer now.”

“Hwa it hurts,” she wept, her face contorting as the pain peaked again.

“I know,” he gave her his best watery, brave smile. “But you’re doing such a great job. I promise I will change every diaper the first month if you just keep pushing.”

“I’m trying,” she ground out between hiccoughs of pain.

“You are and you’re doing so well,” he cupped her cheeks as the nurse reached between her legs to catch the baby as it emerged. She let out a sharp cry just before the shoulders finally came out, allowing the baby to soon come out with just a couple more pushes.

Hwa looked down at his sleeping wife, holding little Hyunjin in his arms.

“She worked 36 hours to bring you into this world, you know,” he murmured to the baby as it slept against his bare chest. “We should both try to be very, very nice to her, okay?”

Hyunjin fussed slightly and Seonghwa bounced them gently to lull them back to sleep. Another hour of sleep for her he hoped. The baby would need to nurse but she needed a rest. She looked so small in the bed, slightly pale and exhausted. Understandable, he thought to himself, after pushing out a person today.

“I’m coming,” she murmured quietly, padding down the hall to the baby’s room. Seonghwa was still asleep in their bed, but if he heard the baby fussing, he would be up in a flash, either offering to bring the baby to her for a feeding or trying to heat up a bottle she had pumped over the last couple of days.

She suspected Hyunjin wasn’t really hungry, just thirsty and a little cranky. A few minutes of nursing and rocking would probably be enough. Picking them up, she took a seat in the quiet gliding rocker and opened the front of her night gown. Pulling out her breast, she rubbed the nipple on Hyunjin’s tiny pink lips, coaxing them to latch on. The baby eagerly opened and locked onto her nipple with happy little coos as the cuddled into the warmth and comfort of her body.

“That’s my baby,” she cooed, closing her eyes as she held the happily suckling baby in her arms that rested safely on the nursing pillow in her lap. The sucks of Hyunjins mouth became less frequent and their breaths grew longer until they happily fell asleep still half nursing from mom as she succumbed to sleep herself.

That was how Seonghwa found them when he woke up to an empty bed a little while after. Carefully taking the baby from his wife’s limp arms, he tucked them into their crib before he knelt down to close her nightgown for her. He knew he probably couldn’t get her back to bed without waking her up, but he was going to try anyway. Gently taking away the nursing pillow, he set it in its place beside the crib before carefully working his arm under her armpits and knees, lifting her into his arms so he could carry her down the hall. She stirred in her sleep, cuddling into him and saying his name softly. He shushed her as he tucked her in under the covers, pulling them high up until they were tucked in up to her chin.

Placing a quick kiss on her forehead he quietly made his way out of the room again to sit for a little bit with the other most precious person in his life. Hyunjin was still happily sleeping so Hwa took a seat in the rocker, determined to spend just a little time keeping watch over them as they slept. But as a new, sleep deprived parent himself as well, he soon found himself nodding off as the rocker moved smoothly under him.

“Hyunjin, are you ready to go to school?” Hwa asked, kneeling down to straighten their jacket and fix the couple of buttons they had put in the wrong holes.

“Yes, daddy,” They grinned happily, picking up their big yellow backpack.

“Good,” he grinned, kissing their forehead and looking at them with all the pride and love that was bursting in his heart. He always saw his wife looking at him from behind those little sparkling eyes. “I’m glad you’re letting me walk you on your first day. I know mommy would have been happy to do it too, but I really wanted to take you.”

“I know daddy,” they nodded, taking his hand as they made their way out the front door. “It’s all you have been talking about this week.”

“You are doing this so I stop, aren’t you?” He laughed, his eyes pinching in that same almost pained look as he looked down at them with pure affection.

“No daddy,” Hyunjin shook their head and looked up at him earnestly. “I wanted to walk with you too. Then you can be the last person to give me a hug before my big day when I become a big kid.”

“Oh of course,” He nodded seriously, walking at the pace set by the little person who would always be his baby, no matter how old they got. “My baby is growing up so fast.”

A Dead By Daylight Novice Reviews All the Killers' Trailers (and makes suggestions for what they'd change)

Reveal trailers are paramount for an audience's first look at new characters. First impressions are everything, so your trailer for your shiny new character needs to be perfect for what's in store for the video game! I started playing DBD a month-ish ago but watched all the trailers for the killers before I started playing, and watching some of them got me to thinking about how I would have changes some of the trailers. Some require no changes, while others I think need an overhaul.

Disclaimer: This is in my personal opinion, is not objective at all, and I'm only doing this because this is something I've been thinking about for a month and need some sort of release or else my brain will implode.

Under a read more bc this gets long.

The Trapper - The first trailer! For a first trailer, I think this one is pretty spot on. It follows a lot of beats of slasher movies, in terms of following a survivor that's gonna be killed, her encountering dead bodies, and the suspense of the killer looking for her. Considering Dead by Daylight is effectively a playable horror movie, I think this is a perfect intro to the game. As for what this means for the Trapper, aka our Jason substitute, I think it showed him off alright! We saw his bear traps and got a good look at him doing this thing. Pretty good, all things considered!

The Wraith - The Wraith, Hillbilly, and Nurse all features gameplay as the means of showing off what the killers can do. The Wraith's isn't too bad, since it does show off his Wailing Bell power enough for people to understand "This is a killer that can turn invisible, and you may not know he's right next to you until it's too late". I wish it has a more cinematic style, but I'll be forgiving here because DBD was still young when this was made. I also thing it showed the new map, Autohaven, pretty well. I'm not too big of a fan of ending the trailer with his mori, but that could be because I don't find his mori exciting.

The Hillbilly - Next is our Leatherface expy! This one feels shorter, still using gameplay to introduce our new killer but at least shows off his chainsaw wielding and hints at the map associated with him. I like the shot of him revving his chainsaw underneath the tree with the animal carcasses! I don't mind the ending with his mori here because even if it's off screen, getting cut with a chainsaw is brutal enough to leave a lasting impression. Again, I wish it had the cinematic style, but it's fine.

The Nurse - I think the Nurse's trailer is the weakest of the three gameplay-focused trailers. The text intro is... fine, but I honestly think it fits the Doctor more. It does an okay job of showing us her Blinking mechanics, but it also doesn't? Like we see her teleporting to Nea, but it feels lackluster. I do like the ending shot of dead Nea as the Nurse just blinks away. I'm not quite sure how to change this trailer to be more effective in my opinion, if I'm being honest.

The Shape/Michael Myers - Our first franchise killer, and a perfect trailer. The first second in, we hear John Carpenter's legendary Halloween score. Even non-horror fans will quickly pick up which killer this is. The suspense of Laurie see Michael, Michael coming up the stairs, and especially the shot of Laurie and Michael being on opposite sides of a door is *chef's kiss*. We see enough of the Shape to be satisfied and eager for his release. It's the perfect trailer for him AND Laurie imo.

The Huntress - Ah, the Huntress. She is my favorite killer to play as, and I probably have the majority of my playtime on her. Unfortunately, I think her trailer leaves a lot to be desired. It's the start of the 'let's look at the killer from different angles, have them turn around to the camera, and then attack the viewer' trend of DBD trailers. I call for a complete rewrite! Here's what I would have done:

The map is Mother's Dwelling. Two survivors (David aaaand idk Dwight?) are running and hides behind some trees. We hear the Huntress's lullaby get louder, and we see the bottom half of her and her axe as she walks past the survivors. The lullaby gets quieter, and the survivors take a sigh of relief. Then, a hatchet is thrown and lodged into Dwight's head! David screams and runs. We then see our full look at the Huntress as she picks up the body. Her signature lullaby continues as the trailer ends.

The Hag - The Hag's trailer also follows a similar formula to the Huntress' trailer. There is an animation bump, so we get to see the Hag's emaciated appearance in full detail. I'm not too mad about that, since the Hag's appearance is unsettling enough to cause viewer distress and curiosity more than the Huntress' would. However, because this is a DBD original killer, we need to see what her deal is with her trailer. Thus, I propose this:

On the swamp, Ace is repairing a generator but hears another survivor (Dwight?) get hooked. Ace goes to rescue him, but we see as he steps on a rune in front of the poor survivor. The illusion of the Hag pops up, jumpscaring poor Ace (and the audience) but disappears. Ace then rescues Dwight for real, but Dwight quickly runs away. Why? Because the real Hag is behind Ace and lunges at him, biting his neck. Trailer ends.

The Doctor - I now realize that my taste in writing DBD trailers is 'have the survivor do a thing, they think the killer is near, they then relax, and only then are they attacked by the killer'. It's a bit stereotypical, but again, we're dealing with a game centered on the horror genre, so that's why I'm okay with it.

I mention this because that's effectively the story beats the the Doctor's trailer follows. Instead of attacking Feng, however, the Doctor just looks at her run and stares menacingly. Even though we don't see the Doctor's shock therapy powers here, I think the long look at the killer is still effective because of his design. A first reaction I (and other reactors) experienced went from the initial "OMG the killer is here, run girl!" to "Why tf are his own eyes and mouth held open like that A Clockwork Orange scene?!". We also don't linger for too long on him either, so I think this trailer works well enough.

The Cannibal/Leatherface - Another franchise killer, this time good ol Leatherface! This trailer is a little different, using text to draw up suspense. I do like the reveal of "What is his mask made of? YOU.", but I would've loved to have seen some actual Cannibal action, or at least his in-game model doing his Texas chainsaw massacring thing.

The Nightmare/Freddy Kruger - Oh, c'mon, we got one of the most well known characters in horror in this little video game, and all we get for his trailer is some scratch marks and a 'killer does nothing but stand there menacingly and attack the camera' trailer?! I do like the detail that when we see him, it's DBD's version of the dream world, but we could've at least featured a survivor falling asleep and then seeing him for themselves.

(Also kinda sad it's the reboot version of Freddy instead of the Wes Craven version and the survivor is Quentin instead of Nancy Freaking Thompson, but I guess we should be happy he's in the game at all)

The Pig - Largely, I think this trailer is pretty good. I'm not too big of a fan of Amanda just standing there menacingly near Dwight, but I do like everything else. I especially love the security camera shot of the famous Saw bathroom and the cutaway when Dwight's reverse bear trap activates (but we still see a good bit of gore!). It feels very Saw-like.

The Clown - This trailer is pretty good! Even though we don't see the Clown in much action, we get a lot of visual storytelling with the bottles, the circus, and the ring of fingers, all leading up to the reveal of his face. The diagetic music from Kate is a nice touch, too.

The Spirit - This one is alright. There is a lot of focus on Adam, but it does build up tension to when the Spirit reveals herself. My biggest problem with it is the ending card that is used for her. Yes, I know that's traditional for the end of these trailers, but her pose and expression is kinda meh after the face she makes when she's about to attack Adam. Seriously, that couple of seconds haunts me (sorry) otherwise.

The Legion - My other favorite killer to play! It's so funny how I didn't like Legion when I first heard of them but now they're my favorites. I love how the trailer emphasizes that the new killer(s) looks similar to survivors and the brutality of when Frank reveals himself and stabs Jeff. However, the trailer does a disservice to the other members of the Legion. C'mon, that's their whole shtick!

My recommendation would be to end with a shot of Julie, Joey, and Suzie joining Frank (and obviously getting a good look at them) and surrounding Jeff right before they all stab him. This is a little disingenuous since you can't play as all four of them at once (unless you count that one Blighted skin...), but you also can't disguise yourself as a survivor, so... Yeah. They are The Legion! They act as one! Treat them as such in their trailer, dammit!

The Plague - The Plague's trailer is interesting. Even though we don't see her in action, I think it's fine because seeing her puke on people during her trailer might be a bit off-putting. Just a bit. We still get some storytelling with her whispered prayers, the candles and incense thingy, and, of course, her face. I think because the Plague's design is inherently unique among all the killers so far, she can get away with the 'let's just tease the audience by looking at the killer and nothing else' trend.

The Ghost Face - Not too much I can complain about with this one. I do like the wtf factor of 'wait, why is a DBD trailer at a modern day warehouse???', especially if you're watching a trailer playlist like I first did. It all makes sense when you learn it's Ghost Face, though! Also, justice for that poor cashier.

The Demogorgon - RIP Stranger Things DLC. I don't watch this series, but I really like the Hawkins Lab map and I'm going to be sad when it's gone. :(

I love this trailer! When I hear the Stranger Things music, it actually gives me chills. I'm legitimately so sad the DLC will be gone from the stores, but I do own them myself. I need to actually sit down and play Demo, Steve, and Nancy one of these days. Why am I crying? No, I'm not kidding, why is this trailer making me cry? Renew the contract, Netflix, please! I don't want this stuff to disappear forever!

(Is it weird that I've been nagged on for years to watch Stranger Things but it's Dead By Daylight that's actually convincing me to watch it?)

The Oni - This is an interesting case. The "main" theme of this trailer is the contrast of modern day Japan's Yui and her motorcycle vs the literal ancient samurai Oni. I think it works out, and again, I think the presentation makes up for us not seeing too much of the new killer.

The Deathslinger - Oh boy, do I love my cowboys! This trailer is nearly perfect. We establish the western setting quickly over the sounds of some poor bastard in pain. The reeling in of the chains and the closeup of The Redeemer is so great. My biggest complaint with this trailer is that we linger a bit too long on the Deathslinger's face at the end. Yeah, he's creepy with his eyes and his disjointed jaw, but you can only look at a horror for so long before you want to move on.

The Executioner/Pyramid Head - I like this trailer! I haven't played Silent Hills, but I'm at least somewhat familiar with the premise and Pyramid Head. I love the shot of him passing the classroom door window and the sword cutting a rift through the ground. Yeah, my lack of SH knowledge makes me unable to recommend any changes here.

The Blight - I have no changes to suggest. The Blight's transformation is super horrific, reminding me of the typical depiction of Jekyll and Hyde. Honestly, he is so much more terrifying in his trailer and in lore than in gameplay.

The Twins - No changes needed. BHVR is really starting to hit their stride with these trailers! Seeing Victor come out of Charlotte's body is amazing.

The Trickster - We depart from all of the other trailers by using an K-POP music video style. It does a good job at referencing some of his story beats (namely torturing/killing people, recording their screams, and using them in his music), but it doesn't really make me afraid of the Trickster. Sure, it fits with his theme, but I would have preferred seeing more of him, y'know, instead of just looking pretty and making faces? I still wouldn't change the art style of the trailer, though. It's fitting enough for him and a breath of fresh air from the doom and gloom.

The Nemesis - No change needed, mostly because I'm not too familiar with the Resident Evil series, but seeing Jill, the twink Leon, and Nemesis on-screen is a very cool moment. Also can we get an F in chat for Meg?

The Cenobite/Pinhead - This is a perfect trailer. We got the Lament Configuration, we got the chains pinning up Dwight, we got Pinhead himself! What more can I ask for?

If you actually made it this far, thank for reading? I don't think I really contribute anything to the fandom with this analysis, but DBD has been living rent free in my brain for the past month, so I may as well write something, eh?

Fairy princess

Steve Rogers x Reader (?)

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Word count: 0.75k

Summary: Steve’s little angel met a fairy, the fairy princess.

Warnings: Fluff? Angst? Cute-made mentions of death.

A/N: This is a fic idea I got from one of @marshieee​‘s post about Oikawa that just was way too cute and I said, Imma do it but a bit more, ✨ marvel ✨ Besides, this is like, a really sad way to say sorry for being dead for 2 months

It was past 5:00 pm; little giggles coming from a clearing in the woods, giggle belonging to a little girl as she played tag with her new friend. Both of their laughs being the only human noise that could be heard, being accompanied with the harmonies the birds made and the sounds the tree branches made against each other. After some several minutes, the little blonde was a bit tired, so she stood there, her small hands going directly to grab the woman’s clothing and playing with it.

“Are you a fairy?” The little girl asked, her small hands tangling themselves with the silky fabric of the long pastel blue dress the woman by her side wore.

“Am I a...” She interrogated herself for a second, right before the brightest of smiles was plastered in her face. “Yes, little girl, I am a fairy, actually” She muttered, laying down so she could be face to face with the small blonde girl “I am the fairy princess, but shhh... don’t tell the other fairies” 

With a playful tone, those words lit up the face girl, bringing joy to the woman in the form of nostalgia. “Otay, I won’t tell anybowy.” She excitedly told with her right hand by her chest, promising her. “Can I tell my dad?” She asks, the meaning of ‘anybowy’ always excluded her father.

“Yes, honey, you can tell him.”

“You know? Daddy always talked about how my momma was a fairy too, the most beautiful fairy the world knew.” She said, taking slow steps so she could pick up a pink flower her e/c eyes spot.

“Oh really? Was she a fairy?” She asks with curiosity in her tone, the beams of the afternoon sunlight painting everything around them in the most beautiful golden yellow. Making our beautiful fairy princess glow like she was made of pure gold, the beams going through her skin, making her look like an absolute angel.

“Yes, daddy told me she had to go back to fairy kingdom after I was born, to take care of other fairies.” The toddler’s smile was as bright as sunlight, not a hint of sadness seemed to be invading her heart, just joy and love overtaking her young heart.

Small tears were pricking at our fairy’s eyes, a smile in her face while she just appreciated the happiness the little girl carried with her.

“Leah? Leah honey, where are you?” A familiar male voice was being heard from afar in the forest besides the city.

“Oh, that’s my daddy calling me.” She smiled, her small eyes searching for her father in between the trees and bushes. “Now I have to go.”

“Leah! Oh dear god, I told you not to go too far in the forest, baby.” Steve told with relieve washing over his worried veins as he spotted his little girl standing alone in the middle of an old path.

“I was just playing with my fairy friend, dada.” Her words were innocent as he picked her up in his arms, the fear of losing her too still in his chest.

“Your fairy friend?” He questioned, instinctively looking around the woods in case someone else was there, yet, only the two of them were there.

“Yes dada, she was really pretty, and had a beautiful smile, like you said fairies had.” 

“She was?” He smiled at his daughter before placing a small kiss on her forehead. “Let’s talk about this fairy on the car ride home, baby.”

“Otay. Bye-bye!” She waved her little hand to were the woman stood, our fairy knowing very well the man, who she loved, wasn’t going to see her. 

“Goodbye, my babies.”

With his gaze on where her daughter said the fairy stood, Steve couldn’t help but smile sweetly at her actions instead of being freaked out; because somehow, deep in his heart, he knew the fairy her daughter played with was his late wife, his Y/N.

“Let’s go home with uncle Bucky.” He smiled back at his daughter, her head resting in his shoulder with sleepiness. 

“Otay.” She muttered, at the edge of falling asleep. “Bye-bye momma.” She whispered to the fairy; Y/N nearly in the verge of tears, looking at her world walk away, smiled; still, she was calm, knowing farewell Steve was being the best father he could ever be, even more than she could asked for.

Meanwhile, she would return to be the ‘fairy princess’ back in heaven.

"I can't believe we were both right." Tony shook his head. 

The baby was a boy with a light dusting of blond hair on his head and startling blue eyes that stared up at them all sparkling and full of wonder as he took in all of the new sights around him. 

"He's beautiful," Steve murmured. 

Tony hummed in agreement, pulling the baby closer to sniff his head and take in that baby scent that seems to cling to all young pups. They were still just staring at their baby in awe when he started to cry and Tony's nipples started to leak, wet spots forming on his shirt. 

"I think I'm gonna have to walk around shirtless for the next few years," Tony said with a sigh. 

Steve glanced at him in surprise as Tony passed the baby off to Steve and stripped off his shirt. 

"I have no complaints there, but you do realize he's only gonna stay a baby for like one maybe two years max." 

Tony gave him a look. 

"Don't question my parenting methods, Alpha. You're not the one who carried this thing in them for nine months and you didn't have to deal with him jumping on your bladder either. So I get to make all the decisions when it comes to how we're gonna raise him." 

"Yeah, but I'm gonna be the one staying home with him." 

"I know and I'm very grateful, but if you have any questions you can just call me." 

Steve nodded, because there was nothing else to say about it. If Tony said this was the way it was going to be, then this was the way it was going to be. 

"I'm gonna get hard if you keep bossing me around." 

"Good, we can get started on trying for the next one," Tony teased, taking the crying baby back and coaxing him to latch onto his nipple. 

Steve's eyes widened and he looked scared at the thought. 

"Another one? Already?" Steve squeaked. 

Tony just giggled. 

"I'm just kidding, Alpha. We'll wait until I stop breastfeeding this little guy and then we can try for another one. Until then, I'm going on the pill." 

Steve nodded. 

"Cool. That's, um, cool," Steve said awkwardly. "It's not like I'm against having another one. It's just- I'm still not sure what we're gonna do with this one." 

Tony smiled softly and kissed his cheek, still cradling Harley to his chest while he suckled at his nipple. 

"You're gonna be a great daddy, Steve," Tony promised.

Steve grinned at him and leaned down to kiss him. 

"And don't worry about not knowing what you're doing. I'm an Omega so I have the instincts for these kinds of things." 

"Yeah, but I'm not an Omega." 

"I know that, but you didn't know what you were doing when we first started fucking, but I taught you how to please me and I'll teach you how to do this too." 

Steve blushed bright red. 

"You said I did good!" Steve squeaked. 

"You did. You were eager to please and what you lacked in skill you made up for by being cute." 

"What I lacked?" Steve said, his ego clearly bruised. 

Tony rolled his eyes. 

"Yes, Steve. You were a virgin and the way we play goes against most all of your instincts, so it took some time for you to learn. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm a very experienced teacher and you learned quickly how to get me off, so no harm done." 

"Tony!" Steve squeaked. 

"What? Don't worry about it. You're much better now." 

Steve just scoffed and shook his head. 

"Yeah, whatever," Steve grumbled. "I'm gonna go start dinner." 

Tony sighed as he walked away, but his attention quickly turned to Harley. 

"As soon as you can hold your head up, I'm gonna let your daddy take you for a ride on the bike that you were named after," Tony cooed at him. 

The baby didn't respond of course, still happily suckling at Tony's flat chest, but he did look up at his mom like he was aware of what Tony was talking about. Tony smiled softly at him and brushed a finger over his cheek. 

"You're gonna be the most spoiled, loved, happiest baby in the world Harley. I promise," Tony murmured.

*****

Steve was still pouting when they went to bed that night, Harley curled up in between them. Tony really didn't think he would be so hurt by the comment, since in many ways Steve didn't seem like an Alpha. Sure, he was protective and he had a knot, but for the most part he acted more like an Omega, at least when it was just the two of them. 

Tony wasn't stupid though. He knew he had upset him and he sighed when Steve kept peering at him through his lashes, a pout on his lips, looking away anytime Tony looked his way. 

"Steve," Tony groaned, scooping Harley up and gently laying him back down so he was now sleeping by the wall instead of in between them. 

They had pushed the bed up against the wall, because Tony had read that was the safest way to co-sleep. 

"Alpha. My pretty, pretty, Alpha. I love you so much, you know that right?" 

Steve didn't respond, he just bit his lip and fidgeted with the sheets. Tony groaned again and pushed him flat on his back, climbing on top of him. 

"Steve, look at me," Tony ordered, knowing that Steve wouldn't disobey him. 

He smirked when Steve's eyes snapped up to meet his instinctually. 

"There you go, pretty Alpha. Such a good boy you are, Alpha," Tony purred. "I'm sorry that I upset you, but you don't get to just pout about it. If there's something wrong you have to tell me. You don't get to keep things from me, Alpha, because you're mine. You understand?" 

Steve bit his lip, his eyes darting away from Tony's, but returning when Tony growled softly in that way that wasn't quite a growl but still managed to come off as a warning. 

"Yes, sir. I understand." 

"Good. You're so good for me, Alpha. I didn't mean to upset you and I shouldn't have teased you like that. It was mean. Can you forgive me?" 

Steve whimpered, pouting. 

"I'm still an Alpha, you know. I know that I'm not like other Alphas, but I still have pride, Tony." 

"Aw, I know you do and I like that you're not like other Alphas. I won't do it again, okay?" 

Steve chewed on his lip for a moment, considering something.

"Um, Tony?" 

"Hm?" 

"Do you think you could maybe do it again, but maybe while we're, you know, mating?" 

Tony raised his brow at him. 

"Really? You want me to humiliate you, Alpha?" 

Steve licked his lips nervously, nodding. His cheeks were bright red, but Tony could feel his dick hardening. 

"Maybe just a little?" 

Tony chuckled and kissed him. 

"Yeah, I could do that, but not now. Sam and Brock are watching Harley this Friday and I'll take you apart then, okay, baby?" 

Steve whined, his hips rocking up. 

"Please, sir." 

"Shh, not now," Tony murmured. "Don't wake the baby or I'll be punishing you on Friday." 

Steve whined again, but he wrapped his arms around Tony when he slipped off of him and pressed back until his ass was snug against the erection in Steve's sweats. Steve squirmed and Tony smirked, shifting slightly just to hear him whine again, the sound muffled as he ducked to hide his head in Tony's neck. 

"I love you, Alpha," Tony teased, his voice sugary sweet.

"I hate you," Steve mumbled into his neck and Tony wriggled his hips just to punish him. 

"Be good, Alpha, or I'll make you regret it." 

Steve sucked at his neck, his hips rutting forward at the threat. 

"I love you, Tony. My pretty Omega. I don't know how I got so lucky." 

"I don't know how you got so lucky either. I'm a catch," Tony teased. 

Steve rolled his eyes affectionately and kissed Tony's cheek. 

"You really are." 

Tony smiled softly, a light blush on his cheek. His eyes landed on their baby in his sleep sack, laying on top of their thin covers. He doesn't know how he got to be so lucky as to end up with a perfect mate and a perfect pup.
