CONGRATULATIONS to 1200 people!!!! 🎊🎉🍾🥳
Don’t know why I only see this now but better Kate then never 😅.
You deserve all the love in the world and I’m glad you have so many people that see that as well!! I haven’t been on here in quite some time (life is weird) but maybe I’ll see if I can write something for you in the next months or so.
Enjoy your day and I hope you are doing well ✨☀️🥳
Cherry Pie's Hot Fic Summer Challenge
Tumblr media
I’m throwing a party in honor of the 1.2k beach babes following me! 😜
❛ ━━━━━━·☾ ✼ ☽ ·━━━━━━ ❜
Rules
To join pick a fandom and a prompt from the hella long list of summery prompts below. If there’s one not listed that you’d prefer (unlikely 😆 there’s like a 100), let me know.
You can go for a story, a moodboard, a gifset, a photo set, an edit, or any kind of art (digital, hand-drawn, etc.)
Drabbles encouraged (300-1k words) but honestly, just write whatever.
You can participate as many times as you want but each prompt can only be used once (they’re pretty broad so you can still get away with your idea if you pick an adjacent prompt 😉 #challengehacks)
You can combine more than one prompt for sure. But no more than two prompts per entry.
Any genre, kink, and pairing/ship in Canon, Modern, or AU timeline (RPF included) is okay, as long as you tag the appropriate warnings and use the read more button.
I’m aware many of the prompts are better suited for Modern AUs but I still think many of them could be adapted to period pieces. Think creatively!
Fandom crossovers are allowed. Love me those.
Stories should be in English but I don’t mind if you include other languages.
You don’t need to follow me to participate. (Seriously, don’t be shy.)
RSVP with an ask, comment, or DM telling me your choice.
Tag the work using #cherry pie’s hot fic summer and please DM it to me as well, in case Dumblr doesn’t notify me.
This post will double as a Masterlist so I’ll update it with your submissions 😎
The fake deadline is September 1st.
Thanks to @mrsalwayswrite and @adrille88 for helping me brainstorm this idea. 🫶🏼
❛ ━━━━━━·☾ ✼ ☽ ·━━━━━━ ❜
Fandoms
Vikings, The Last Kingdom, The Witcher, MCU, X-Men, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, Peaky Blinders, American Gods, The Mortal Instruments, Outlander, Doctor Who, DC, Star Wars, Dark, Lord of the Rings, and anything Garrett Hedlund or Tom Hardy have been in.

I’m glad you liked it ☺️✨ haven’t written Ivar in a while and I feared that I wouldn’t get him right 😁 but the snark is there.
Bright Days and Starry Nights 2
Tumblr media
well… as always took me this way longer then I actually wanted it to. But at least i finally wrote another part for your challenge @saldelys. I‘m sorry that its just a bit shorter this time. I hope you still joy it. Also, me and my friend are doing like writing circles more often now so I hope she will help me and kick me in my butt more so that i write more.
Words: 962
Summary: You never know when or if you find your soulmate. Sometimes you find them in the future, other times they come from the past. Literally.
Warnings: Not edited, written on my iPad so it was a bit rocky, also there are probably some errors here and there. But other then my writing nothing. English is not my first language.
Kellar really should have been more careful with what she wished for. At first she wished that she could maybe see the eyes of the weird stranger again, at least one more time. But this is getting ridiculous. His eyes are everywhere.
In the morning when the sun changes the blue from dark to light, she thinks about him. When she picks up the book she’s currently reading, she sees his eyes in the cover. Even that stupid IKEA bag that has been stained with bleach from moving houses one too many times, she remembers him instantly.
What’s up with that? Kellar didn’t understand how this stranger, who she didn’t even really meet, like they only saw each other across the street for a second, was still up front and centre in her mind. Thinking about him, what he might be doing right now, if he really was on his way to a convention, and if not why the hell did he dress like that?
She decided that enough was enough. Packing her little blue journal, of course it had to be the same blue colour that’s haunting her by this point, an umbrella and a granola bar in her bad she made her way to her favourite spot in the city.
She found it after visiting her grandma in the centre a couple of days after Marlie was placed in it. It’s a little ways out of the city, up the hill that is a nice place to go hiking or for tourists to look out over the city. Because when you go to the lookout point and then just keep going up and behind it you find this small secluded little place. Maybe a bit too near to the edge of the hill but if you’re careful nothing will happen.
Strangely no one really goes there. Every time Kellar goes there there’s no one there. Which is perfect for her, so no one bothers her. The only other person sh told about it was Sam. She thought it might be a nice place for him as well when he gets a bad day and wants to be out but alone.
Sitting so high up and looking over the city just gives you an otherworldly feeling. Like nothing can get you there. And if its night time and all the starts are out you even feel like you're part of the universe. Yes this was definitely Kellar's favourite place.
So now here she was. Sitting on a little blanket at her favourite place. It was getting darker by the second and if she stayed here for another hour or so she could watch the sunset. But something still felt off. She still couldn't get this stupid guy out of her head. Even after writing it all out so that it would leave her head. He was still there. Practically looking back at her whenever she closed her eyes.
What the hell?! Why won't he leave me alone?
Heaving a deep sigh Kellar closed her eyes. Deep breath in. Deep breath out. And count to ten. That was always what her Marlie told her whenever she felt a tantrum bubbling up in her granddaughter.
Ten. And her eyes were open again.
“Great, now I actually see the dude in front of me.”
To her utter disappointment after she opened her eyes the man was not gone. No, now she could see him right in front of her. Weird cloths and all. He just stood there, looking around as if he didn't know how he got there. Kellar thought that she might need to go to the doctor now, because seeing weird people usually is not a good sign.
“Hey you! What are you staring at?!”
What....
Now he actually had a voice she could here? Something is definitely not right. This man stood in front of her staring at her just as confused as she was. Why was he confused? He was standing on a mountain, clothed in full warrior attire seemingly coming out of nowhere and he was confused to see her sitting in her spot? Kellar was sure that she would have heard him climbing up the hill. With his crutches he would have made a lot of noice, looking at them she thought she wouldn’t be able to even lift them so heaven did they seem. Also it would have taken him a lot of time. Even Kellar, who is quite fit, needs at least 30 minutes to climb up the hill. So how did he?
“Are you deaf? Why do you think you have a right to stare at me?”
Ok now he was not only looking ridiculous but also plain rude. Never did Kellar see this weird man at her favourite place and now he thinks he has the right to insult her? Asshat.
“Dude what the hell?!” indignant whit this whole situation she reserved to the only defence she had. Opening up the big mouth of hers. “This is my place and I have never seen you here. So why the hell do you think you are allowed to be ignorant and mean to me and string at me as if I was an exotic bird, buddy?”
If Kellar thought the man looked ridiculous before, he seemed completely ludicrous now. Mouth open, eyes wide and finger almost pointing up and at her. As if accusing her of a bad deed. Like he couldn’t grasp the fact that someone talked back to him.
“Do you not know who you speak to women?”
Apparently to a crazy person. “Should I know who you are jerk?”
“I am Ivar the Boneless you ignorant thing. I am the most famous Viking that ever was.”
What the fuck….
/////////////////////////
As always I would be happy with some feedback if you liked this little thing and I hope you have a lovely day or night ✨

Hello all you lovely people!!!
There was quite the silence on my end for the last couple of months and I just thought I should tell you why, because some of you are waiting for things to be posted again. And I totally understand that. Mainly three things are happening.
1. I will move next month.
2. I got a new job this month and will start working there next week.
3. My laptop is real old and basically broke down completely now.
All these things are really stressful for me because I hate change and now it feels like everything is changing in my life. Also I can’t for the life of me type for longer periods of time on my phone. I need buttons to press and stuff like that.
But at the end of this month my new iPad + Keyboard will come so that means I will be able to start writing again.
Im sorry that it’s taking so long, I hope you can be a bit more patient with me for the next weeks as I get settled in with everything new. But I really miss writing and interacting with you guys here.
All the best wishes form this befuddled littler person and I hope you all are well and happy ☀️

Hello my sweet friend, I'm sorry I'm interrupting your scrolling but I wanted to check in with you again, don't worry, this is a safe place for you to land.
I hope you find the story you need tonight, I bet your comfort character is so excited to see what adventures you're going to have. Will you be friends? Lovers? Found family? How exciting to not know just yet, to get to discover the world all over again with your comfort characters that adore you.
Did you eat today? Have you drank water? Sweet one your comfort character wants you to take care of yourself. I know it's hard but any progress is better than being stagnate, but If it was too hard today then please remember that tomorrow is a new day and it's okay to let yourself rest. You deserve rest, you deserve love and you deserve to know how amazing you are sweet one.
I'll let you get back to your scrolling now, I hope you find the story you need, I hope you lose yourself in the fantasy world you love with the characters that touch your soul. I hope that your comfort character brings you peace and that one day you won't have to escape into stories just to get away from the horrors and hurt of the real world.
I love you, your comfort character loves you. We believe in you sweet one. Go on, they're waiting for you. You're the best part of their day, they love you for you, flaws and all.
From the late night scroller, a fellow lost soul looking for a safe place to land. From a dreamer who's just a random sad fangirl on the internet, a random girl who believes in you with everything she has.

Bright Days and Starry Nights
Tumblr media
Here is the first part of my story for @saldelys Halloween Spooky Challenge!! I know I’m late and I’m so sorry, I hope you still like the first part. I try to write the next part as fast as I can I just don’t know when that will be. But I already have things in my head that have to happen so there maybe will be even more parts. Like a little series. This is my first thing with an OC and it is an AU so bare with me. I never wrote something like this before but I was inspired by you and all your great ideas you regularly come up with!! I hope you have an awesome day and that you are happy and healthy!!
Words: 2301
Summary: You never know when or if you find your soulmate. Sometimes you find them in the future, other times they come from the past. Literally.
Warning: None this time! Just my English.
On a bright day in a starry night is where two souls are bound together. Because only when the sun and the moon clash upon each other, the original star crossed lovers, do they send their love to two people while watching the earth go by. But just like them, always chasing after the each other, it would seem that the people gifted with their love would face the same fate. Meeting briefly just to be torn apart.
Kellar’s grandmother always said that she was granted a soulmate. That the love she shared with her husband was made by the stars. But Kellar always thought that was bullshit.
You see, they met when they were really young and fell in love, like so many couples back then did. And just like so many other couples her grandmother, Marlie, found out she was pregnant while her husband had to go to war. He was one of the many men that lost his life and Marlie never truly recovered from that. How can you? She always told of him as her husband even though they were never really married. He was her husband, he just felt like that and she felt for him, even after all those years of not having him by her side. She never forgot his memory. Never choosing to move on. Never fell in love again. In all honesty Kellar loved her grandmother, more so then her actual mother, but she always thought it was rather lonely. Being left behind by the person you love most, even though they did not choose to leave, and to never find someone else.
Keep reading

Sure Marlie had her daughter and she often said that her daughter looked exactly like her husband but she could never replace him. And after her daughter got pregnant after a one-night stand and left after the delivery of her granddaughter, Marlie had no one that remembered her of him. And not even then did she try to move on. “You don't forget or replace you soulmate, dear. Not even if you met for only a moment.” The answer Kellar had heard so many times. “Well if this is how finding your soulmate is like, I hope I never find them.”
Soulmate, what a load of crap.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
“My latte is meek warm and stale, can you make another one that is like I ordered this time?” The blond customer an the other side of the counter said it with so much forced superiority and sweetness Kellar thought her teeth would fall out. It was the second latte she made for the women and apparently is wasn't good enough. Swallowing an irritated sigh Kellar took the coffee back.
“Of course, my apologies.”
“And this time I want a free shot of vanilla in it. I mean i'm waiting a long time for a simple coffee.”
Deep breath, Dale will rip your head off if you yell at a customer again. “Of course.”
Turning her back to the irritating women Kellar prepared another coffee just like the once before, like she did for the last couple of months. The coffee was fine. Every other person liked it, or at least they didn't complain about it like this women does. I bet she didn't get laid in forever and now needs pretend like she's someone big to compensate that no one wants to fuck her. The constant tapping form the acrylic nails that are being tapped on the counter didn't help her in her irritations. Sure she had arcyliy nails herself but come on, you don't have to tap them that obsessively.
“There you go. My apologies...again.” She watched as the other took a judging look at her and then her coffee, taking a tiny sip and evaluated if she'd make Kellar's day even more miserable. She mentally dared her to just make a squeak about anything wrong with the coffee, fists balled under the table. “Well then, at least this one is ok.” Nothing else and the women just strutted away as if she'd just won a battle. Bitch.
Thankfully after that encounter nothing happened at her shift at the café. Kellar may not have worked in the “Little Bean” for long, five months to be exact, but she liked it here.
Dale, the owner, was a grumpy but kinda nice guy. She liked him, even though she thought that he might already regretted hiring her. But that was fine.
Teddy, the soon to be teacher who could only work on closing shifts. Kellar and her didn't work together that often but the times they did were always nice. Teddy was a real sweetheart.
And lastly, to fulfill the quartet of workers, Sam. The freakishly tall giant she just couldn't figure out. Sometimes they would laugh together at a customer, then he wouldn't even look at her and give her the cold shoulder. She really didn't do anything he was just like a coin. Every morning he would wake up, flip and see on which side the coin would land that day. Nice or grumpy. But at least working with him was fine, nice even. He was fast, he was efficient and he only had to flash his ridiculously white smile at anyone who was mildly irritated and he'd get a big tip. Lucky Bastard.
Kellar really liked working here. She got along with everyone of her coworkers, had good hours and pay and she didn't have to ride the tube for like 45 minutes to work like the last place where she worked at. It wasn't the first café she worked at so the training period was cut out and she started to work there right away. This was her third job this year and she really couldn't afford to loose it. It wasn't like she was bad at doing what she was told or bad at working with other people or anything of that sorts. She did a great job at anything she put her mind to. The small little flaw in herself was just that, for the life of her, sometimes she couldn't keep her big mouth shut. It was something she's been told since she was five. But what could she do if she simply spoke her mind and thoughts and other people couldn't deal with that. Kellar always thought it was more of a problem for them and not for her if they couldn't except the truth. But alas her former bosses would say otherwise.
Sam made his way behind the counter after she was done serving a very overpacked and struggling intern on a coffee run. “Can you make a chai latte please?” Quiet voice and head down.
“Sure thing.” She got right to it but kept an eye on him. He was busy taking cakes out of the displays but Kellar noticed.
“Hey Sam? Heads or Tales?”
It was a little routine they had formed a month ago after she was done being ignored or appreciated with the switch of a day. After telling him that she thought he was like a coin being tosses he kinda exploded that he simply couldn't change the mood or thoughts his brain would give him. It might not have been the best thing to pressure him into talking but she simply wanted to know. After apologizing immensely and giving him some space she asked him the next day if he was heads or tales today. Heads= bad day. Tales= good day. He laughed at that and the routine was formed.
“Heads.” Nothing else came from the silent giant. There were a lot of Heads the last couple of weeks.
“Want me to 'accidentally' drop a glazed donut? I'm gonna pick it up right after and you can eat it. Dale doesn't have to know.”
With the smallest chuckle possible he finally turned his head up. Still not directly looking at her but in her book it was a win. He even wore something that could have been called a smile in the right light on his face. “If you drop any more donuts Dale will drop you.”
And a hole sentence not related to work. Definitely a win.
“Well I'm just that clumsy. He can't fire for that.” With a wink towards Sam she turned around for the donuts.

With one hand on her ticket and the other risen so she could see her old watch, Kellar couldn't wait for it to be 4 p.m. She practically hovered over the little machine in the break room. Shift change was her favorite part of this day.
3.56 p.m.
A weird feeling made itself known behind her eyes. A buzzing as if she had looked to closely at the old tv in her granny's home.
3.58p.m.
Suddenly she couldn't see her watch anymore. A blinding light look over the buzzing and she squeezed her eyes shut out of instinct. The light wouldn't go away though.
3.59 p.m.
Pain. Both the buzzing and the light made her head explode. The feeling of both pushing everything else she could perceive away. Clutching her head she fell on her knees. What was happening? Groaning on the floor she didn't know what to do. It was freezing every other movement she could make. There was only white behind her eyes. Burning white light that slowly turned to gold. But that changed.
Out of the gold there was a shadow growing. A shadow that, if you tried and looked closer, would resemble the outline of a figure. Tall, but hunched over, they slowly turned towards her, lifting their arm off of something close to them. Pointing at right at her.
“Kellar?!”
Gone, the pain and the light just vanished as she opened her eyes. In front of her was only a worried Sam, crouching on the floor. Arm slightly risen over her shoulder, as if he didn't quite knew what to do.
“Are you ok?”
Weird, what just happened.
“Ähm...yeah, I'm fine.”
She answered slowly and stood from the ground, Sam following her.
“You sure? You looked like you were in pain.”
Looking at her watch it was now 4.06 p.m. Wasn't she waiting to clock out? Turning towards Sam after finally doing just that she sight and shrugged her shoulder. Trying to be nonchalant.
“No really, I'm fine. Just stubbed my toe.”
Both knew that that was a lie but Sam let it be. She did the same for him often enough.
“Ok well, get home and rest, you need it if you stubbed your toes on air.” Combined with a small grin she knew he wouldn't ask anymore and would let her go. Patting him on the back while walking past him she just threw a cheeky “Smartass” back and left through the backdoor.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
Breathing in the fresh air as she made her way to the train station she thought about what could have happened back in the break room minutes ago. Kellar really had no clue. One second she was fine and standing and the next riddled with pain on the ground with Sam beside her. Rubbing her eyes she thought about calling her grandmother. Marlie was know for having short migraine attacks. Maybe this was the same thing. Or Kellar just needed a good old nap. Yeah I'm definitely gonna take a nap when I'm home.
Looking on the other side of the road she observed the people walking there. So many strange people that she would probably never see again. Almost skipping over one she took a double take at the weirdly dressed man standing in the middle of the mingling crowd. Clad in fur and leather, with some sort of metal construction around his legs, he was supporting himself on crutches. He looked medieval.
And the clothes weren't the only bizarre things about him. He wore intricately plaided braids that ran down his back like flowing water. Dark hair so brown it almost looked black. His face was gorgeous, as if god himself patted himself on the back while making him. And then their eyes met. And all she saw was blue. Blue, but so much more.
Piercing and cold, making you want to shiver just by looking in them. But also deep and almost welcoming. As if he was looking for something his whole life and now finally finding it. Kellar has never seen such eyes before in her life. It made her feel warm getting lost in them, and she wouldn't even complain if she drowned in them.
A bus broke their glance and he was gone. What?! How can he just be gone? He couldn't just have vanished, that's not possible, but it seemed that way. Or was she really just tired? Maybe the weird migraine attack, or whatever it was, was at fault for this and she just imagined him. No sane person would walk around in that costume in the middle of the day. Standing in the walking crowd, not doing anything. There wasn't any kind of convention going on and even if it were he would have been at the wrong side of the town for that. She would know.
So he had to be made up. But something nagged at the back of her head. Something that wouldn't let her go. If he really was just made up, then why did he seem and feel so familia when she looked into his eyes?
All through the rest of her day Kellar couldn't shake the image of clear blue eyes out of her head. And when she was finally able to sleep, after a lot of tossing and turning, those blue eyes and the handsome face were her last thoughts before slipping into the darkness of sleep.
