I saw someone request rockstar Eddie with a groupie I was thinking maybe a groupie is all over him and backstage after a concert Eddie hates it and just wants his wife then reader his wife walks in assuming he was cheating and I trust you with the end🤍

Love it!! Here we go! I did your idea! But for some reason made it way more painful than needed so oops

⚠️angst as usual but fluff ending

Also I deleted this like three times and wrote it multiple ways. And I still hate how I wrote this so whoever requested it- if you hate it too, let me know so I can fix it babes

When her husband is a rockstar that girls have wet dreams about, she knows she'll spend a lifetime being jealous. When his fingers can work fast on the guitar while he multitasks with singing, she knows where other girls minds run off to. She was the same. She started as a girl who had a crush on the lead guitar player and singer. She watched him on stage and had dreams about his fingers, mouth, voice, and body constantly. And it was like he knew it. He'd smirk in her direction during his solos. Always standing near her side of the stage when he'd kneel down to sign girls'boobs. Eyes always flicked to hers, never even looking at who he was signing. The sexual tension got too hot and too high. Before she knew it she was in the bathroom being fucked against the mirror.

That's how they started. A bathroom fuck, so romantic right?

She never would have guessed the same man would be proposing to her years later on stage, in front of a sold out crowd in New York.

She was by his side when he was a small bar band and now he took her all over the world as he grew. Eddie was in love with her before he even learned her name. Getting to fuck her was just the bonus.

They were in love and maybe got married too young, but they didn't care. He wasn't letting her go anywhere.

Eddie doesn't even remember what they were fighting about before he left. He remembers screaming and her screaming back.

He remembers yelling, "DON'T EVEN FUCKING COME TONIGHT!" as he slammed the door.

Which he regretted the second he played the first song. Looking to his left where she stood backstage, and just like he asked, she didn't show up.

His first performance in months without her there and he felt like an asshole. He couldn't even remember who started it or why it started. And if he couldn't answer those questions, then he knew it wasn't important enough to keep being upset about it.

He collected together all of his stuff in the dressing room, throwing it harshly in his bag.

"hey Eddie, I know you are in a rush to get home but we have a fan out here who is dying to say hi" Gareth said. He knew Eddie and his wife were fighting before he came here, Eddie showed up tense and pissed off. The couple has been on short circuits. Screaming at each other at the drop of a hat.

Eddie thinks it's the stress of trying to have a baby that was taking a toll on their relationship. She was getting upset at her body for not accepting a baby and she took it out on him. She knew it wasn't fair but she couldn't stop. And Eddie, instead of understanding how hard it must be on her, he got pissed that he became her target. They both didn't talk about their feelings and that's where they kept going wrong.

"I'm really sorry dude. But I am not in the mood. Y/N's upset and I need to apologize. Just ask her to come next week" Eddie sighed. Gareth gave him a guilty look as the door opened and the girl squealed excitedly. Jumping in her dress as she screamed about the band in front of her.

Eddie closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Plastering on his best smile. He could suffer for a few minutes.

She was drunk in seconds. Already throwing herself on Eddie's lap.

"no no" he mumbled, unhooking her arms but she laced their fingers together.

"I'm married" he mumbled again, trying to shift his body from under her. He was not in the mood for this type of game.

But she stayed put. Not even moving a muscle. Eddie looked around the room and noticed he was alone

"if you are married ,where are they?" She asked

"she's at home. I told her not to come" he sighed. And now he wanted her to be here more than ever. He didn't want a random girl on his lap. He wanted his wife to be here.

"how come?"

"because I was stupid and she's pissed.But seriously I need you to get off of me. This isn't happening and will never happen" he tried to push her again

"I know what you can do to make her feel better" she sounded genuine but Eddie still didn't want the feeling of other girls body on him

"okay how about you tell me while you get off of me?" He asked, giving up on moving her for a slight second to hear what she had to say. Letting her absorb his words.

But she didn't say anything. She smashed her lips onto his. His brain was slowly realizing what was going on. The hands that she had laced were stuck. He was trying to pull his body away but he couldn't move anywhere

"Eddie?"

She sat at home all night. Crying on the couch after he slammed the door. She hated what she was doing to them. She was ruining their marriage day after day. But she didn't feel good enough. She couldn't give him a baby, and that's all he talked about.

Finally ready to just apologize and talk things out, she headed to his gig. She knows he doesn't want her there but as a wife, she had the right.

She smiled to Gareth as she walked to the dressing room. Lance, their manager, noticed her right away and let her through the hallway. She smiled gratefully and walked into the room.

Her husband was there, but so was a girl in a tiny dress sitting on his lap, kissing him.

"Eddie?" She gasped out in disbelief. She knew she wasn't being a good wife lately, but he'd really throw it all away?

Her eyes burned as the girl pulled away and looked behind her. Eddie's eyes finding hers once the girl moved.

"hold not. This is so not" he stuttered out fast. Throwing the girl off of his lap as she landed on the couch next to him.

Y/N felt her eyes roll, turning back around and leaving the damn bar

"BABY WAIT. I CAN EXPLAIN THAT!"

But she just kept walking. Never in their relationship did she think he'd ever cheat on her. But apparently she didn't know him well.

She made it out of the bar. Gasping for fresh air.

Eddie was right behind her, arm snatching her hand and yanking her into him.

"listen you need to listen" he pleaded. He knew if he didn't explain soon enough, more damage would take place

"no Eddie I don't!" She spat back, throwing his hands off of her

"is that why you didn't want me to come tonight? So you can go screw a groupie? How many girls were there?"

Eddie shook his head at each question

"no that is not why I asked you not to come. I should have never asked that! I want you here. And fuck no, there has been no one but you. You are my wife, I wouldn't screw that up! I don't want anyone else. She came on to me. I've spent the past hour trying to get her off of my lap. I would never do that to you. I love you"

He watched as silent tears were running down her face.

"why?" She asked, throwing her hands in the air with frustration

"why what?" He spoke softly, seeing she was seconds away from crying harder. One hand held her jaw and the other one rubbed her back softly

"why do you love me? I mean God Eddie, you married me expecting a family and I can't even give that to you! If I were you I think I'd cheat on me too" she sobbed

Eddie felt his heart shattering

"baby no. Just no" he shook his head, holding her face tighter in his hands moving his forehead against her

"when I married you, I married you because I am in love with you and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I wanted us to share a name, a house and our hearts. Listen to me, I don't need a baby to make me want to stay with you. Nothing would MAKE me, I want to stay with you and that's not ever going to change. I should have been more understanding of the stress you are putting your body in. And I would never cheat on you. There is no one in this whole world that would ever compare to you. You are it for me, okay?"

He smiled and pecked her wet lips. Pulling back slowly as she nodded and sniffled.

"I love you too" she spoke just as soft. Kissing him again.

She pulled away with a small gag, "we need to wash your mouth. Taste like pure alcohol"

Eddie laughed, "yeah that girl was pretty wasted"

He smiled as he threw his arm on her shoulder, walking to the car.

He didn't need a baby to be a family.

Just having her, was the only family he needed.

The Story of Minglan

Oh my god, that wine is 100% poisoned.

And they would poison her in front of all these people who are either in on it, or will go out of their way to cover it up 🤮

***

SMART GIRL, MINGLAN!

DRINK NOTHING SHE GIVES YOU!!

***

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??

GU TINGYE ISN'T EVEN AT HOME!! HOW IS THIS HAPPENING FOR THE THIRD FUCKING TIME???

***

I am beyond pissed off here but honestly, I blame Minglan for this one. She set the precedent by taking in that last bottom feeder to appease these villains so why would they not try this bullshit again?

***

Smh.

Just as I thought.

Minglan really needs to stop with the people-pleasing shenanigans and start murdering the bitches shitting on her doorstep.

***

I started watching this episode last night and had to stop because my head was absolutely pounding, and then it continued to pound all day today. It is now 18:10 and the pain has been persisting for at least 24 hours at this point, but I am momentarily medicated and feel like I can hold my head up straight if I don't move around too much, so I want to see where this bullshit is going. The righteous fury on Minglan's behalf will either heal me or transform the headache into complete agony. There can be no middle ground.

***

"Best temperament" is code for "she lets us walk all over her and mistreat her in every way imaginable without fighting back and still begs for our approval" in this society from what I've seen.

Fuck that. Minglan, give them hell! Who needs a reputation for being a doormat? Your evil aunt is apparently out murdering people and no worse for wear, so you may as well tell them all to fuck off and live to see another day. Also, Gu Tingye will be proud!

***

OMG, Minglan, please start showing that shiny spine!

It is episode 59, it is time to put this shit-stirrer in her place.

***

LMAOOOO, GO OFF, MINGLAN!!

Nanny Chang wasn't enough for her, she had to come back for seconds, so let her have it!! 💪💪

***

I am fascinated that she keeps murdering people and just... getting away with it.

And apparently, everyone knows and nobody does anything about it.

***

LOL, Minglan has decided that today is the day to air ALL the dirty family laundry 🤣🤣

Take note, Madam Qin, if you don't get your act together, you're next!

***

LMAO, now they are accusing Minglan of lying.

Too bad for them that this time, they've bitten off more than they can chew. Minglan will end them all.

***

LMAO, where is this girl's father?

Concubine-born or not, how can she just kick her out of the house like that? Even if she were to marry Gu Tingye as a concubine, surely there must be some kind of process? At least have her pack her things and lend her a cart to carry them over? This just makes no sense, she went out for lunch at the neighbours' place with her stepdaughter in tow and just decided to dump her there. Who does that? Who allows it?

AND THE GROOM ISN'T EVEN AT HOME TO CONSENT TO ANY OF THIS BULLSHIT.

There is no chance any of this is above-board.

***

Bitch, shut up.

Minglan should let more of you die and maybe you'll learn.

***

MTE.

On the one hand, I feel sorry for the cousin, she is clearly being abused in her family home, but on the other looking to Minglan to fix it by SHARING HER HUSBAND WITH HER, OF ALL THINGS, AND ALLOWING HER TO SPY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT TO LITERALLY KILL HER is just beyond.

***

Oh, shut up.

I see Nanny Chang is there. I trust Nanny Chang.

***

Seriously.

Whether or not Cousin dies is not Minglan's responsibility, especially since they are asking her to resolve it to great personal detriment. Again, I ask, where is this girl's father? Also, is there no law whatsoever here protecting this girl? That fisherwoman accusing Gu Tingye's buddy of rape got a whole trial so there are definitely laws in place here and places to appeal to.

Aunt Kang is getting away with all this bullshit because people are letting her.

***

Words to live by 💪💪

***

OMFG, THEN GO AHEAD AND DIE.

YOU AND EVERY SINGLE OTHER ONE OF YOU WHO HAS TRIED THIS SO FAR.

***

THIRD DAY, THIRD ATTEMPT TO FINISH THIS EPISODE 💪💪

I made it maybe 15 minutes last night before I had to turn everything off and rock back and forth in a dark room as I suffered. I eventually ended up vomiting, which was completely WTF. I've heard that this happens with migraines but this was my first time experiencing it and honestly? I don't think that this was a migraine either because the pain was not the stabbing agony with an aura they describe, but more like a constant throbbing pressure in my entire head. I get headaches often, and yes, they sometimes go on for two or three days, but I have never had one that was this intense, this long and so pain-killer resistant that I ended up vomiting because of it. It is now day three and I can still feel it throbbing in the background. My body is definitely trying to tell me something but I a not sure I am ready to listen 😔

***

Minlgan is too kind.

If it were me in her position, I would not feel one ounce of guilt.

destielification of newgirl is so easy it's also becoming one of my favourite things to do. consider my AU #1432255363 that i came up with after watching the "You're my husband, you're like my wife" scene that's probably never getting written:

dean and cas have been friends for a while, cas is the one in love with Dean..dean is like. Cas is my Best Friend. idk if he's in the closet about himself or just about his feelings or what. but yeah. anyway.

dean is dating someone. Lisa, probably (I'm so sorry girl I'm so sorry they always do you dirty like this). he thinks it's going great (it's not) and he thinks he should totally get married to her (he should not), so he's like I'm gonna do it I'm gonn ask her. but lisa. LISA IS SMART. so she realizes that it's not working and on the day that he's gearing up to propose to her, she breaks up with him.

cas knows about all this. they were supposed to celebrate the week after dean was supposed to propose, but he's broken up with instead so they take time off their respective work places and go on a roadtrip together. because nothing fixes a broken heart like bro-ing it out with your bro amirite lads? anyway.

fast forward to dean getting into a stupid fight at a stupid bar and they get thrown out and cas is taking care of his wounds just like in the "doggies or trucks?" scene and then they have that conversation where dean's all of COURSE i got broken up with I'm STUPID and an IDIOT and i clearly AM THE WORST and it's good that i got DUMPED because clearly NO ONE deserves to be TIED DOWN TO ME and cas is like shut up shut up shut up of COURSE you're not all that you're the most amazing person i know you [lists everything dean does for him] and then he's like "and well if Lisa broke up with you, it's her loss, because you would make a great husband. and i know this because you've been a great husband to me. i mean you're LIKE a husband to me. i mean YOU'RE LIKE MY WIFE. I MEAN NO I AM LIKE YOUR WIFE. WHAT. YOU KNOW WHAT. BEER. BOOZE." and he just runs away. and dean is sitting there having an epiphany like oh OH OH because he HAS been doing all this for CAS, yes, but he has NOT been doing this stuff for his actual girlfriends and he IS kind of like Cas' wifehusband and Oh he IS GOOD AT IT but because IT'S CAS because HE — OH. oh. OH.

anyway they get through the end of the trip and cas is like I'm sorry if I made it weird obviously i didn't mean it like that like you're not even my type what anyway have a good rest of your single life bye

and now dean is like oh shit cas does NOT like me but I'm so obviously in love with him that it's stupid and now my asshole motherfucker of a life sucks SO MUCH WORSE bc clearly i can't date anyone until i get over cas and i don't think i can get over him by leaving him like i usually do because he is EVERYTHING! TO ME!! etc etc

idk how this would resolve itself like I'm sure dean enlists the help of the entire winchester family support brigade and they're all like DUH! i mean LIKE. Oh Nooo this is BRAND NEW information!!!! and they're like no cas likes you and dean's like no he does not.

fun bonus if cas just starts fake-dating one of his friends so dean doesn't feel weird after his pseudo-love confession(or real dating, I'm not picky), but things get out of hand because dean is INSANELY jealous, and he realizes that he's ALWAYS BEEN insanely jealous and possessive but he would just write it all as Bad Vibes™ but now he has to confront his own stupid feelings and then like every good soap opera, this culminates in a Big Dramatic Moment where dean is like "Actually your boyfriend SUCKS and idc i will never like him because he's not supposed to be with you because I LOVE YOU and WE are the wifehusbands who were MEANT TO BE" and cas is like :O :O what. :O :O :O

and then! cas either a) breaks up with the guy he was only dating to prove to dean that he is Not Into Him or b) calls off the fake-dating thing because nuh-doy!

Smooches, kisses, gay sex, etc.,

the end.

LITERALLY. SO EASY.

#newgirlnatural #doe is talking again #doe needs to stop talking and get to work #another random stupid headcanon I'm setting free into the void #I JUST THINK. DESTIEL COULD DO ALL THE ROMCOM TROPES. ALL OF THEM. MANY TIMES EVEN!!#destiel #spn headcanons

OH AM I GONNA HAVE SOME FUN WITH THIS IF I EVER HAVE THE TIME TO WRITE FANFIC

(Or my reaction to Episode 61 of Wolf359: Brave New World).

Well gang, we did it. We've reach the end. Sorry for how my reactions went from super spaced out to speed running the finale in a number of days, but I did warn you that I'm just sporadic like that. Though I have been semi-putting Brave New World off, because as much as I want to know how Wolf359 ends, I don't want it to end. I love these characters. I want good things for them. As much as I hate what they did, I wish that Hilbert and Maxwell had gotten the chance to get the redemption arc that Jacobi got. Hilbert had plenty of opportunities, but Maxwell was young and its not fair. I don't know how much more sadness they are gonna throw at me, but I'm guessing its a lot and I can't listen to it all in one sitting, so I'm just mentally preparing myself.

I also don't want this to end because I've loved giving you guys these reactions. Thank you all for reading my rambles and enjoying them. It means a lot to me, and I hope you were entertained. Thanks for coming on this journey with me, and please know that the second this is over, I am gonna figure out how to unblock the wolf359 tags (I did it so long ago I forgot how I did it, oopsie-daisy), and I am am gonna be reblogging and going crazy over all your posts and fanart and stuff so I hope you're ready for that.

Plus finishing the podcast also means it's time for me to deliver on those fics I promised y'all, which have been very carefully written (in my head). I will write them out eventually, but if there is anything my tmbs mutuals will tell you, my wolf359 mutuals, it's that my ideas tend to lead to other ideas, which means my fics do tend to be a little long, but (based on the reviews I've gotten) worth the read. So it might take a while to get them on AO3, but when I do, I hope you enjoy them!

Tagging the mutuals who got me invested in this, and if you want to be tagged or untagged from these posts, lmk, or you can follow my blog or simply follow the tag "#bods wolf359 reactions". Anyone who has followed me for a while knows my updates are inconsistent, so I apologize in advance for that and for any spelling/grammar mistakes in my posts.

@sophieswundergarten @oflightningandstars @acollectionofcuriousreblogs @herawell @commsroom @lovelyladylavie

Episode 61: Brave New World

The fact that Brave New World was written in 1932 and Cutter and Pryce are old and the fact that the message of Brave New World is about humans losing their humanity...already we're setting the stage.

And based on Kepler's earlier declaration, why do I suspect that this is the part where Doug's daughter's life and Minkowski's husband's life are finally on the line. I know Cutter and Pryce won't hesitate to aim their guns at them (and probably the rest of the planet too).

That moment when you can't tell if Wolf359 starts with sad piano music, or if this is just an ad for another podcast.

Oh it's the intro. Hi Hera! Or Miranda...oh wait I genuinely can't tell if this is Miranda talking about herself or Hera talking about her.

Clouded eyes, weak heart, child genius, orphan, no friends...I see. Obsessed with making things stronger and better. Yeah, except for herself I bet. Oh. She made her friends. Because she could control them. "Never left her behind, never talked back, never were afraid of her...except when she wanted them to be." "The one thing she couldn't fix was herself" see I called it!

Until? Oh no. Marcus.

And Old Man? Almost as clever as her? "Hello little girl. I want you to make a doll for me. You're very best doll. It must look like a real person, and sound like a real person, and be a real person." "And if I can?" "Then you and I will fix the world. I will be young and you will be whole and the world will finally be everything it could be. Everything it should be."

Okay. Thoughts.

When I made my jokes about Pryce being Cutter's evil science girlfriend, I was not assuming a romantic relationship, I was trying to use that language to insult Pryce and Cutter by making them sound like the kids they hate so much in a frivolous, juvenile and toxic relationship. Then, I was told by a few of you that given this assumption, it’s important that I know that I shouldn't assume that Pryce met Cutter when she was young based on this story and it was meant to be "fairytale language", which does make sense given that Cutter being willing to call Miranda his "work wife" when he's known her since she was young enough to be his granddaughter is incredibly creepy.

I appreciate the clarification, but also, I really don't think it matters whether this is hyperbole or not. If it is, then okay. Pryce and Cutter's relationship is still weird. If it's not, then Cutter's a creep, what a surprise. Tell me something I don't know.

"And so they did. And everyone lived happily ever after. The end."

The fact that it's Cutter that interrupts Miranda's story to give that closing line and declare this the end adds to the creepiness. Miranda says what Marcus's promise to her was, but never says whether she agreed before Marcus jumps in with "and so they did". Also, if Miranda was dying, Cutter was her only chance at survival. It also sounds like she was a kid with a pretty messed up view of the world. Doesn't excuse anything she did, but see Cutter? THAT is how you give a good sad backstory, and she did it in five minutes. You spent a whole hour with Nash just so you could cry that the government took your precious telescope.

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

"THAT'S the evil plan?" Care to fill us in Doug?

"That's THE plan, yes." Shut it Rachel. It's evil and you know it.

It's...so evil. And so...planned. Doug's words might be simple, Rachel, but sometimes simple is better. It gets to the point and cuts through the BS.

"It's real and it's happening" And ARE you happy about this Kepler? And why tell them?

Good question Kepler, why are you here? Please tell me you're going to take Rachel away.

"You're going to help" "of course I am" Are you Kepler? Oh please tell me he gets a redemption arc and betrays Cutter.

Does anyone want to fill ME in on the plan? No one? Okay. :(

"Where's the trust?" That's not for you, Rachel.

"I really don't like her" I don't either, Doug.

"What about Cutter's plan?" WHAT IS THE PLAN? WILL BOB AGREE TO IT? WHAT WILL WORK? WHAT WILL THEY DO?

We can't stop them, so let's see our families again. No, Minkowski, you can do this! I believe in you! You can't just go home, we have two hours left! That's plenty of time to stop them.

It's been a long...years.

I forget how long they've been up there. And that everyone on Earth believes they're dead.

And not do anything about WHAT? WHAT IS THE PLAN PLEASE FILL ME IN.

What was that sound?

-----------

Oh Doug is in the comms room. Oh yikes. It's okay, Doug. We've all broken very expensive lab equipment before.

"Living in a cuckoo clock" you have no idea, Doug.

"I wouldn't do that." Is that Pryce or Hera? And yeah why is there gas?

"Good boy" oh good it's Hera. Hera calls him good boy, Pryce just calls him boy.

"Who are you?" OH THIS IS DOUG MEETING HERA FOR THE FIRST TIME. At first I thought that Doug...forgot her? Or something? I was confused.

Ultraviolet halo? Contraband cigarettes. 😂

"Just ask. I'm here to help." Aw that was sweet.

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

Ew Rachel. I'm gonna start using "----" breaks to cut off sections.

"Actually he's in quite a lot of pain. Back to work." Always charming, Rachel.

"Thanks for saving our lives-" Kepler, that's a great question. What IS this? Where was the concern for brainwashed Jacobi or better still, WHERE WAS YOU CONCERN FOR MAXWELL? Or Jacobi dealing with her death?

"And do what? Get myself shot? Get you shot? No. I played the game." Was it worth it, Kepler?

"That's the lie you tell yourself. The truth? The truth is that you were afraid. And the only thing YOU did was try to save YOUR hide?"

Dang this dialogue is amazing.

"You're not wrong." "Which one?" "Both of you." This isn't YOUR conversation Rachel.

-----------

Momentary weakness?

Oh my gosh, the good food too? Why does Cutter hit so many show Curtain parallels? He might torture, enslave, and kill people, but he's gonna get them a good meal first.

Good for you Doug, turning down the wine. I'm proud of him.

This is a sweet moment between Doug and Lovelace. I gotta say, since I'll be reacting to this section by section, it's nice that they have it broken up a little like this so I can reach a section and then get to a stopping point if I need to.

I'm just worried about who is going to die. These conversations feel like goodbyes.

----------

Minkowski. I know you miss your husband. But...yeah, ARE you ready to go back?

YEAH WE'RE DOING THIS! To borrow from Eris's words: "Let's beat the bad guys 🥳"

----------

Quiet Rachel.

LET'S GO MINKOWSKI. WHO CARES WHAT CUTTER AND PRYCE WANT?

Wait. Destroy a whole species?

Are they talking about humans?

...are they ecofascists? Eugenicists? Pryce is literally disabled, how the heck...

"Only stay if you have to." Well, it sounds like you all have to.

"Hera what did you say to her" "Something a friend once said to me" 🥰🥰🥰

"I'm starting to think these guys are my kind of stupid" GO JACOBI!

"Adorable corpses 🥰" Rachel you suck!

"Come with us. You're still people, you're still on our side, even if you don't think you are." Very true. What do you think Pryce and Cutter will do to YOU when they have what they want? They'll dispose of you too.

"You're allowed to make mistakes as long as at some point you admit that they're mistakes!" "I was wrong and people died. All I can do is not be wrong again" "You knew what you were getting into" "No I didn't. I didn't know I was getting into mind control and reducing people to nothing. There's a line. And you're almost out of chances to get on the right side of it." PREACH!

"There is no line. Forwards. Always forwards." FORWARDS TO WHAT RACHEL? WHY HAS NO ONE SHOT HER YET?

"Thank you, Daniel, and goodbye." Oh so that's how it is. Goodbye Kepler. I look forward to your last minute sacrifice.

Character arcs woven like a quilt.

"We're going to crush them" Yeah, let's do it!

A full reboot? Worth the risk? That kind of stuff always worries me.

Is this Maxwell's notes? It's hard to recognize the voice on the recording. "She really was something special" Oh it is Maxwell.

----------

Ah. Another flashback! Jacobi meeting Maxwell.

Looks like Kepler got an important text.

"Cool stuff with robots" good work Maxwell. The best scientists can always dumb it down.

"The Whiskey speech" 😂

"You're one of the best. You're gonna do great things. It's the last nice thing you'll ever hear from me. Except: you need anything I got you're back. No matter what happens, I've got your back. I'll take you up on that." 😭💔

Oh it's okay. Take my heart. I didn't need it.

----------

"Are they going to do the smart thing?" "Well who are we to deny them an agonizing death?" Shut it Cutter.

They put a tracker on Jacobi? See I knew Rachel was a snake. So is Kepler, but at least he's gonna take a bullet for someone or something. My money's on Jacobi, but I could be wrong.

----------

Yep. Eiffel logs everything.

"I never got the chance to say I'm sorry. YOUR DAD LOVES YOU, YOUR DAD LOVES YOU SO MUCH." 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

"Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. You can go so far. I wish I could be there to see it. I love you Ann. Always and forever."

AKJLS;DJFKL;SJF;ALSKDJFA;KD

Time to go? Oh. The comms room? Oh, right. Poor Doug.

"One more day, and then we're done." This is so sad.

Wait...what is happening? OH SHE LIED. SHE'S TAKING EIFFEL HOME TO PROTECT HIM. SO HE CAN SEE HIS DAUGHTER? DON'T DO THIS TO DOUG! DON'T DO THIS TO ME.

"Go home Eiffel, hug your daughter" OH HE CALLED HER RENEE!

This leaves me with so much feeling.

Eiffel can't leave he's the main character. Who will make pop culture references? Who will save the day through the power of random associations, luck, and good intentions?😭😭😭

I hate that they the bad guys know exactly what happened too.

"I'm so sick of this happening!" Use too Doug.

Oh "For god's sake just let me change the flight plan!" So that's what the F stands for. The lore I've been waiting for.

"People need to know what's coming?" Minkowski...I get why you did what you did, but HERA DIDN'T GET TO SAY GOODBYE.

----------

Is this Minkowski's flashback?

Oh when Minkowski met Hera.

"I heard units prefer to go by their serial numbers..." "I don't" Good for you Hera!

I love this. I love these flashbacks, but they just make everything so much more sad!

----------

Ah. More piano music. Does this mean we're back to the bad guys, or...?

Is this Cutter playing the piano?

"The Tempest. Do read a book sometime. Is this the best use of our time?" Pryce and Cutter are really the most toxic people.

"A storm is coming. And on the other side..." "Oh Brave New World." "That has such people in it."

Yes, Pryce and Cutter. People. As in humans. As in: NOT YOU.

"How have they decided to throw their lives away?" "By destroying the device"

WHAT DEVICE? What are you talking about?

Heck yeah a harpoon! I hope Cutter gets it.

----------

"This is Minkowski. I love schedules and musicals and that man who I married." 😂 1-2-3-4-5? It was a good guess Doug. Would have worked in my fanfic.

Okay here comes Victor...

...um what is happening? What is this?

...a surprise party? Sounds fun! 🪩🥳

Oh right, the bio tracker. I'm happy to see Jacobi pulled one over on him. Now shoot him! Please tell me that was Victor that got shot.

They...they trapped him in the room. "Tell me this before I kick your ass" Why on Earth would he ever tell you anything Victor?

----------

Okay, so they are blowing up Pryce and Cutter's evil device, but...what is the device? What ARE they doing? Did I miss it? I'm sure they're doing something to enslave or kill all of humanity, but I'd like the specifics.

"The Hephaestus has almost fallen out of the sky so many times, it's hard to believe it's happening." Well...the show isn't over until it's over.

Is this a Lovelace flashback? A date? A date with who? Oh, Hilbert. Not that kind of date then. Oh, this is her introducing Hilbert to the crew he's going to betray.

"Prudent to keep things formal" to avoid the guilt.

Selburg. Once again with the constant fake names. Dmitri. Matthew.

Though I think Miranda has always had hers.

----------

Yeah Doug. You've listened to her say it so many times. This is like me trying to drive in my hometown. No, I wasn't paying attention in the car as a kid, I was not the one doing the driving. I just zoned out and we got from point A to point B by magic.

Oh, Minkowski. "Get up and do it already. You can do it."

Yes you can Doug. You are the main character. You are the guy that's gonna swoop in at the last second when Cutter pulls one over one them. So you CAN do it. I believe in you, Eiffel.

"Victor Uniform Lemma Charlie Alpha November VULCAN" I knew it must stand for something! Good work Doug!

----------

Oh dear. More of Pryce and Cutter's marriage falling apart.

"Time to change the world." Or you could not. Maybe you could just not.

WHY IS THE DEVICE RUNNING? WHAT DEVICE? WHY DOES HE NEED TWO MINUTES?

Please explain this? Oh of course he has a speech.

Oh he's talking to the dear listeners, not the Hephaestus crew.

Ah. The Decima virus. Thanks a lot Hilbert. DEPLOY THROUGHOUT THE EARTH? He wants to cause a pandemic????

Automatic, can't be stopped, destruction of human race? But why would the aliens care? Oh because Cutter wants them to talk to HIM? But the aliens prefer Doug.

As do most others it would seem. Hurts, doesn't it, Cutter? All those years of experience and work, and yet, you still just can't have what he has, can you?

Ah. It's Bob. Did he just shock Bob? No temporal jumps, no disintegration?

"Remarkable and cold" No Bob, you saw Doug! It's just them. They don't need to be cold.

Willing to disrupt species survival??? What piece of tech do they want? Surrogates?

They want to fill the world with people they can control?

"You can't make duplicates of our species." Bob, they are worst than you can ever imagine.

"We're going to make better humans." "That is not the way that-" "Random part out of the equation" That's a bad idea. Do you know how evolution works? Do you know the negative side effects that have come out of selective breeding of animals? The unintended consequences? To quote Miranda from earlier in the episode: READ. A. BOOK.

"Our Humanity" Gross.

HOW ARE THEY ACCEPTABLE? IT'S MUSIC. WHY ARE YOU THAT DESPERATE FOR MUSIC?

Oh here is comes. Betraying Rachel and Warren.

OH TELL HIM BOB.

"Your brains can't handle it without modification. I cannot with my limitations. Do you have Doug Eiffel?"

Hahaha...hahahahahahaha....HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA..... 😂😂😂😂

Oh boy...oh Cutter is gonna snap. If only Doug had just kept going...

Oh wow okay Cutter has lost it. What happened to emotionally playing the piano and giving speeches about how the time had come?

oh geez no, Doug is back. Doug, no, they need you for the evil plans. This is a good idea, but very bad timing.

"He wouldn't" Oh he WOULD. He really really would.

Show 'em how it's done Dougie Boy!

"I'll get it" No you will NOT Miranda.

Kepler, now is a great time to betray Cutter and Rachel. A really good time.

Also is Victor dead? I'm trying to keep track of how many bad guys are gone.

----------

"You're the only person who can receive the data Pryce and Cutter want" Oh dear.

"With my life darling, with my life" 🥹💕

So what is Hera going to do?

"Lets make sure at least someone makes it through this" YOU ALL NEED TO MAKE IT.

"Let's go get our idiot back" That's the spirit baby!

----------

Oh dear. Jacobi. "Terrific for an SI-5." Wow.

"I'm gonna win!" I hope so Jacobi. But it sounds very not good.

Oh and here's Doug. And um...other Doug. Aka Bob.

Bob. Do not do this.

That was it? "You shall not call me again" "No Bob. I shall not."

THEY KILLED BOB.

"I hate loose ends"

I mean, I saw that coming, but dumb idea. I'm SURE Bob's family will be cool with that! Oh right, he just...recreates himself. But this has got to be trippy for Doug because Bob takes his form. Imagine watching a clone of yourself die.

"Pryce is not right?" DANG IT DOUG, I WAS GONNA USE THAT PUN IN MY FANFICTION AND NOW I CAN'T (WELL MAYBE I STILL WILL WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE).

"Let's make a deal 🥰" Wow Pryce is the worst. Again, very trippy how much she sounds like Doug.

Wait. GOING IN? What does. What does "going in" mean? Don't go in, I don't like going in?

Ah yes. Going into someone's mind. I've done that in my fics before too. Fun stuff. And um...it's because you're disorganized Doug, I hate to tell you.

"That was...that was...that was..." OH SHE DESTROYED THE MEMORY. OH SHE TOOK THE MEMORY?

This is...horrifying. She could take his daughter away. She could take Hera, Minkowski, and everyone and everything away.

HERA! HECK YEAH!

Oh my gosh is she actually here? Like as a person?

This is everything.

----------

Ah yes, confrontation with Cutter.

Cutter has modified his body or he has a magic shield.

He can catch bullets? Of course he can.

I wouldn't try hand to hand combat either. I bet he gave himself super strength.

There has to be a weak spot. He has to have a weakness. But what could it be...

...what is the opposite of a chai latte?

----------

Ah. Back to Jacobi.

Kepler this would be a GREAT TIME to come in and get your arc. "I'm not a good guy" oh Jacobi. What's happening now? Oh has he been pretending to lose this fight to buy them time? What is happening? It's hard to tell.

----------

She's always been interesting, Pryce! You’re just noticing now.

"You don't look like me." Disappointed, Pryce? Sad that she’s better than you?

And the fact that all these AI want human forms...this is so sad. They structured them based on human consciousness so of course they want human bodies and experiences, that's just cruel.

Wait Doug got beat up in the 2nd grade? The Star Wars Prequels? "I might be okay without that one" No one tell him about the sequels 😂😂😂

"Of course you can. You can do anything." 💕

"You and what army, 214?" The sounds in this really makes the fight sound super epic. One of my favorite parts of the whole thing.

----------

Oh gross not Rachel again. Why is she still here?

And Kepler. Dude, you wanna hurry it up? Grab your arc or go, the clock is a-ticking.

"We're changing what humanity can be." you suck Rachel.

Pulse beacon, half power? What does that mean? The signal wouldn't have made it back to Earth?

"We have tell Mr. Cutter." "Do we?" KEPLER THIS IS IT!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

He gave you a chance, Rachel. He gave you a chance. "After all, I am still a person. I'm on Jacobi and Minkowski's side. Even if they don't think I am"

And even if they never know you were.

Is she gonna blast him out the airlock? Rachel, you're dying, it's over! You were wrong! The best thing to do is let him live!

He's literally drinking as he goes out the airlock. My...my wish came true. But this isn't how I wanted it to... why now? Why like this? 💔

It's a true sacrifice though. Because even though no one will ever know, he still did the right thing.

You became more than just a Whiskey Boy in the end Kepler. You became so much more.

Rachel, no so much. You were never anything. It doesn't matter if Warren was not as good as you. Because now you're both dead. And your life, well...you were never anyone. Or at least, you haven't been anything or anyone for a long, long, time. So be quiet now.

Silence at last.

----------

HOW CAN CUTTER GET HER TO POINT HER GUN AT MINKOWSKI? WHAT...WHAT DID THEY DO?

Well this isn't good.

Ah yes. Back to Jacobi. Looks like Kepler's not coming to save him. But at least he took care of Rachel.

Explosives? Fireworks? Oh this is a party! 🎆🎇🧨

Well that was a grand surprise party! But um...does this mean Victor and Jacobi are dead now?

Ah back to Lovelace and Minkowski!

"It's...side wave radiation!" Okay, thank you Cutter, now we know what we need to shut down.

"Humans who do exactly what we tell them to do" "You're crazy"

Yeah. He is literally crazy.

OH SHE SHOT HER??? Oh no....Oh no please tell me SOMEONE makes it out of this.

What really did happen the night of Doug's junior prom? Sounds interesting.

Fishing with Dad? Okay these memories are getting personal.

Wait, what did Doug do?

What are they going to do? Oh they could delete the memories Bob put in there. But they need to find them before Pryce.

----------

Shut up about the stomach wound Cutter. No one cares. This isn't rewriting a person. And THAT'S NOT WHY PEOPLE CARED ABOUT HER YOU IDIOT. And without your intelligence and tech, who. are. YOU, CUTTER?

Renee Minkowski! YES! Tell him!

Lovelace you can fight this. I know you can.

Shut it Cutter. No one cares.

"Sooner or later, you're gonna do as your told" And sooner or later, you are gonna lose everything, Cutter.

"You really think I'm afraid of you?" "THE BEAUTIFUL THING IS I DON'T NEED YOU TO BE"

Please tell me they have the harpoon gun.

IT WAS THE HARPOON GUN? OH HECK YEAH!

"That's...not...how...this is suppose to..."

Yes, it is Cutter. Like you said. You know how these stories end. The good guys win. They might lose a lot in the process, but, they win.

Is he dead now, like, for real dead? I don't want to celebrate too early but MAN what a way to go.

He and Rachel even died in similar ways to. It's like they short circuited when they realized they didn't win.

----------

Ah Pryce. "I don't need to beat you. No matter how much I want to, no matter how much you deserve it, it wouldn't change anything. What I need to do is make sure you're not going to hurt anyone else again ever." That's right!

"I'm not going to hurt you." OH SAY THE CLIP YOUR WINGS LINE COME ON COME ON COME ON.

"Clip your wings a little. Goodbye Dr. Pryce."

So...Hera's gone now. So what is about to happen?

Oh no. Is she...is she gonna delete both their memories?

"Bye bye to my memories?" Oh Doug, oh poor Doug. His daughter, everything...oh Doug this sacrifice will not be forgotten. 🫡 This is so Milligan coded of him (@/tmbs mutuals).

"You can't. Don't do this." "Oooo...sorry buddy, we gotta" YEAH THROW IT BACK AT HER EIFFEL!

And goodbye. I hope you have a second chance with your daughter. I hope you never remember the trauma. All a bad dream. All a bad dream.

"Do you have any idea what you've...I'm sorry...what was I saying...where...where am I?" Oh my gosh the way her voice changed...and she apologized. Oh my gosh. She's literally a new person.

So...memories gone? Where does this leave her? Oh this will be fun in fanfics. Imagine having no memories, and people are weird about it, and then finding out that before you were basically the worst person to ever exist. How would you even mentally cope with that?

"Yeah commander, it's going." No, Doug! Doug!

"It was an honor, sir" Oh this is so sad.

"Hera...Hera I...I..." You know Hera. You were in his mind. Please tell me you know.

Oh. He's gone. 💔

----------

WHY IS RACHEL BACK I THOUGHT WE TOOK CARE OF THAT?

Oh it's her and Eiffel meeting, okay.

"Are you just asking if I'm the commander? Yes." I love Minkowski and Doug's friendship.

"Never use one word when ten will do" oh Doug...never change. Even if your memories are gone, I hope you find yourself again.

He didn't know you couldn't smoke in space? Oh Doug...at least now you can quit.

----------

"Do I know you?" Yes Doug. Yes you do.

She's briefing him. He...he doesn't remember Star Wars???

Well. At least he gets to watch it all again!

Wait. What's happening to the station? Are they...are they going into the star?

Oh no. So it's up to the dear listeners to save them, or...they just die here. Heroes. Heroes that everyone on Earth thought were dead already.

Oh she's rebooting now.

"Should we be doing something?" Oh did Renee pass out?

So...is Doug on the ship alone without his memories? What's happening?

----------

Where is Renee now? Lovelace? Where? What? The Urania? How?

Did they leave Pryce on board? Did Jacobi get out?

Oh good Hera, Minkowksi, and Lovelace made it. Jacobi did it! Nice work, Jacobi. Oh gosh he's so dramatic 😂

So I assume Doug made it too?

"What about Kepler" "No." Oh so, they must have found Rachel and discovered what he did. "You can't save everyone I suppose"

But you did save him, Jacobi. You did save Whiskey Boy.

And then where is Doug?

Oh he's listening to himself.

"I was a jerk" There's a lot worse things you can be, Doug.

It does make you wonder. If you looked at your life with a blank slate, what would you think? How would you be kinder to yourself? How would you be more critical?

"Am I still that same person?" If you want to be, Doug. If you want to be.

And what happened to Pryce? Please tell me you did not give her to the dear listeners.

IS THIS PRYCE?

Oh Hera and Pryce. "Your voice is like mine, isn't it?" "Nice to meet you, Hera." Oh. Oh my gosh. Pryce calling her Hera.

"And I'm...I'm going to tell you a very, very long story about the two of us, okay?"

I hope this ends well...

...please be a good guy, Pryce.

----------

Hey guys. Guys. Quick question.

Why are there 10 minutes left?

I um...I like this ending. They're going back to Earth, all is well. Please tell me nothing bad happens.

What happened with Pryce? Hera hasn't glitched at all? She did it. She conquered her fear. GO HERA! But um...what about Pryce? Is she...is she good?

Minkowski needs to find her husband. And yeah...you guys have a lot to figure out.

Lovelace...yep. Take Goddard down. Good idea. Explain to your friends you're an alien with extended lifespan...might want to break that gently.

Take who out?

Oh the ship. Is this it? They're going home? Please tell me they're actually going home. Don't tease me like this.

Oh right, what will Hera do now? I'm sure you'll find something.

And yeah. Doug might not know who he is, but he knows there are people he should see. And then...he'll figure it out. They'll all figure it out. "Am I still Doug Eiffel? I'm not sure. Want to find out together?"

Yes. I love this. 🥰

I also love how it connects to "will I miss you, when you go away forever Doug?" Yes, but he's not gone Hera. He's not gone.

----------

Five minutes left. So...what is that for? Do we finally get to meet Doug's daughter and Minkowski's husband...or…

That was wolf359! Oh it’s just the credits!

Great ending. But...wait. No wait. I'm confused hang on.

How did Jacobi escape from Victor to get the Urania? How is Hera going to survive on Earth? How did they fix those wounds? If the Hephaestus went into the star...

Wait. These aren't more alien copies are they? Oh wait, no Hera's here, sorry y'all I panicked for a moment. They duplicate human lives, but as far as I know, not AI. Also, if this was a happy dream sequence, why would Pryce be there? Okay, phew, we're good. We're...finally good.

And even if they are alien copies...the process will take 14,000 years. So. For the rest of their lives, at least. Especially since...they're still using Lovelace to spy on Earth. For the next 14,000 years. But I guess that’s a problem for future generations.

Okay. Great ending. Thoughts:

Cutter got what he deserved. So did Rachel, but I feel a bit sadder that she never realized the pointlessness of her life until it was too late (and really not even then). Also love that Cutter's original last name was "Newman" since he keeps making himself into "new men".

Kepler's sacrifice was great no notes. I hope he enjoyed the Whiskey.

Blessie should have come back, and in fanfic, I will find a way to make this happen.

Eris should have come back, and in fanfic, I will find a way to make this happen.

Are the Dear Listeners just going to leave Earth alone now? If the Hephaestus went into the star...does that mean they can make Rachel and Cutter copies? Because I don't like that...

I love that the aliens weren't the biggest threat in the end and Cutter was always the real monster.

Is Pryce cool now? She doesn't want revenge, does she? Like what do you even do with her at that point? (I have plans for this, don't worry).

How do they dismantle or repurpose Goddard? Cutter probably has guys still loyal to him on Earth or people who are gonna try to be the next Cutter now that he's out of the picture. How do you deal with them?

Okay...so the decima virus can be used for great good and great evil. Cutter apparently had stations with it set up all over the Earth. I hope no one stumble across one of those anytime soon. What exactly are they going to do about decima? It's still swimming about in Eiffel's blood.

Is Minkowski's journalist husband going to blow this case wide open? I hope that after her brief phone call with his secretary, Cutter didn't kill him to keep the rumors from spreading.

Will the families of all the other astronauts that died ever get closure? I know we don't want this getting out and causing panic, but they deserve answers too.

When. Is. The. Empty. Man. Going. To. Show. Up???? /j /It was Cutter the whole time because he has no humanity

Well that was fun. Again, the fanfic will probably take a good long while (I put off a lot in order to listen to this ending), but I look forward to mapping it out.

Once again, thank you all for listening along with me. This has been fun.

Now, to figure out how to unblock those pesky tags...

Reconciliation 🖤

Part 2

How can we be lovers if we can't be friends!

The next morning I woke up still in Joe's hotel, I looked over and see Joe still sleeping peacefully. Without waking him I slowly slip out of bed gathering my clothes and belongings. I quietly leave Joe's room. I get back to my room thinking I'm in the clear….not a chance I'm taken back by Lana.

" Bitch you scared the hell out of me " I said holding my chest

"And where have you been?" She asks

'I went to the gym early" I tried to lie

"Liar…you're still in your gear from last…." She started stopping mid sentence. Then the look I hated most washed over her face. Her I was right face!

''You spent the night with Joe didn't you?" She asks smirking

''So what if I did he's my husband still…so it's kinda like recycling " I say

"Recycling? I truly hate you" she laughs

"Lana in all seriousness it was just a quick little fix nothing changed it meant nothing' I say heading towards the shower.

As Lana and I headed to the car that was waiting for us I spotted Joe and Solo who were walking right towards us

"Lana I'll meet you in the car" I say trying to head out before Joe noticed me

"Y/n!" I heard shit he saw me but I kept walking as if I hadn't heard.

"Y/n, hey " I feel Joe now turning me around

"Hey, I thought I heard my name" I lie

Joe leaned in to kiss me but I moved going in to hug Solo

"Hey, Big shot, how's the main roster treating you?" I smile

'Good good I'm blessed to be doing this with the fam" Solo answered nodding towards Joe

Solo is pulled away by Xavier leaving just Joe and I.

" You slipped out early this morning huh?" He asks

" Yea, sorry I needed a shower" I say trying not to make eye contact

"My room had a shower, but hey I get it" he says " don't want anyone to know you're screwing your husband" .

"Joe, it's complicated." I whisper

"Complicated?...right" Joe says

" Joe…." I start but he cuts me off

" It's fine Y/n, I'll pick the kids up tomorrow" he says walking away.

A few days later I was talking to Lana and Brandi who were two of my best friends about an arrangement Paul and Stephanie had offered me about coming back to team with Lita and Becky for WrestleMania in a few months.

"This is so exciting…Y/n I'm so happy for you" Brandi smiled

" We should celebrate" Lana chimed in

" What exactly are we celebrating?" We turn to see Joe holding one of our twins, our son Karter. Who was a spitting Image of his father, just like all 3 of our kids were.

"Y/n, is gonna have a WrestleMania match with Becky and Lita against Damage Control" Lana nearly yelled.

"Hey, that's great!Right bubs?" Joe smiled bouncing Karter in his arms

"Oh I gotta go, I forgot I had to pick up Liberty." Brandi says

"Yea me too I have to meet Rusev for dinner" Lana says as they both come over to hug then Joe.

"Mama, can daddy help me with my homework today?' our 7 year old Leilani asked

"That's up to your daddy sweet girl." I smile at her

"Daddy, will you stay and help me?" She asked Joe .

I couldn't help but smile knowing Joe couldn't say no to her especially with those big beautiful brown eyes of hers

"I sure will, let me put your brother in his playpen" he smiled at his little girl.

"Joe, if you want you can stay for dinner too." I say

"Sounds good….thanks!" He nods heading into the living room.

After dinner Joe put the babies down. While

I got Leilani in the bath and ready for bed.

"Karsyn kept grabbing her ear before bed thinking she might be getting a ear infection" Joe says startling me a little

"Shit, you scared me" I almost yell

" My bad. Hey, I just wanna say how proud I am of you, this comeback these moments you're getting you deserve all of it" he smiled

"Thanks, by the way I'm sorry for how we left things the other day at the hotel. It's just this whole separation before the divorce gets to me sometimes and well I'm just sorry if I made you feel some type of way" I say

"It gets to me too Y/n, I just don't think this is the right thing to do anymore, maybe we should try a little harder to make"us " work". He says

"Joe,I don't think we can fix this " I reply

"How could you say that? Is that what you honestly think?" He asks

"Joe how can we be lovers if we can't even be friends…this is the longest we've gotten along in weeks" I say

" What if we just agree to start over ya know star fresh" he says

" When we try to work it out we never get it right..we must be crazy to keep this up" I say trying my hardest to hold back tears.

I loved Joe. I honestly and truly did but us as a couple just didn't work.

" Y/n, we belong together. That's what I know" he says stepping closer

"Joe what if we aren't though" I whisper

Joe kisses me without warning backing me up against the counter, his hands slowly moving up my body stopping at my face. Stopping for a brief second to place me on top of the counter.

"Joe" I let out

" I got you baby" he says kissing my neck

" No, Joe we have to stop sex can't fix everything" I say

"True, but an orgasm will help with all the stress from arguing " he says, connecting our lips again.

Could you share some of your ideas on improving the Twilight series?

There are a few ways that we can fix Twilight, but for now let's just focus on keeping its original premise: Bella moves to Forks, meets Edward, and is swept up into a word of supernatural happenings. I'm going to go through my issues one by one and then get to some overall points, this got stupidly long for no good reason I am so sorry.

I will note that I had to google some information about what happens in the first and fourth books because I did not watch those movies and I think I might have read the first book? But don't remember anything that happened in it.

Bella's Personality

Or lack of one is getting changed immediately. Stories are driven by the actions and desires of their characters and Bella is our MC. We need her to have reasons for making the choices she does beyond "she has to do this for the plot to progress."

Bella moves to Forks because she notices that her mother seems unhappy staying at home with her and not on the road with her new husband. From this we can assign Bella as being self-sacrificing, maybe to the point of self-sabotaging. She also is very self-reliant; she doesn't think she needs help from other people, especially not those who have a degree of authority over her because she assumes their help comes from them assuming she cannot take care of herself (and maaaaybe think that she's a burden) and not from a place of love.

When Jacob expresses a dislike of Sam, Bella supports him and validates his feelings. She is extremely upset and confused when he has suddenly changed his tune later and goes to confront Sam about it. In the movie this comes off as manipulative, as it seems like Bella is only really upset that Jacob isn't 100% focused on her anymore. I hate this! It makes the story much better if Bella goes to confront Sam because she is protective of her loved ones. Edward says he is afraid of not being able to protect her several times and she always responds with "then I'll protect you!" She should mean that! Let her be the over protective friend who will throw hands!!!

The one thing I do remember about the first book is an off hand remark about how "special and not like other girls" Bella was because she had already read Jane Austen for fun and that made her only able to relate to old people (something I had just gotten done doing which was probably why I stopped reading the book because middle school Yuri felt very insecure) and she also seems to like Shakespeare. But the books never seem to do anything with that, and it was pretty much the law in the early 2000s that your YA heroine needed to be into classic lit so it is a sort of basic trait. But it is still a trait, so Bella likes classic lit.

One of the things people unironically like about Twilight is how Stephanie Myer portrayed depression. Bella seems to be struggling from some pretty severe issues with her self-esteem and self-worth. She wants to be a vampire because she thinks it will fix her issues with herself; she's afraid of growing old and not being desirable to her partner which is sadly a very common fear people have so it makes her relatable which is good for the protag of a novel... but

If you are going to cover topics like self-loathing and depression we need to have a think about how to handle those topics responsibly which I don't think the og Twilight series does... for now let's just keep in mind that depression and self esteem are themes we should keep for Bella's personal character arc.

The Parents

Bella refers to both of her parents by their first names, unless she's talking to them. As someone who does this with her mother... that's not really something you do overnight or if you have an actual relationship with your parent. You can actually physically feel the gap between you, and it kind of sucks sometimes. It also explains a lot of those character traits listed above

Bella's mom sucks ass and I was surprised to find that's not as controversial of an opinion as I thought it would be. She is more invested in her relationship with her new husband than she is her daughter, Bella apparently was the primary cook, Bella keeps secrets from her mom because her mom's mental and emotional well being is extremely reliant on her, and to top it all off apparently she told Bella a bunch of intimate details about how she left her dad which IS NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD DO OH MY GOD. It isn't healthy for a kid to know the intimate details about the break down of their parent's marriage!!! Especially if it was messy!!! That's so damaging for a kid, it's a form of parentification where the child is forced to emotionally parent the person who is supposed to be doing the actual parenting. Charlie is a character no one seems to have any major complaints about, and that includes me: I think keeping him more or less the same works. He deeply loves his daughter and wants to have that personal relationship with her he never got to have while she was primarily living with her mother. His reactions to the things that happen in the series are completely normal and he shows the appropriate level of concern when Bella enters her depressive state after Edward breaks up with her.

The main thing I would change about how the parents are portrayed has to do with the break up between Edward and Bella in book 2. I think it was mentioned that Bella did not want to go to therapy... but given the circumstances: major depressive episode, night terrors, potentially abusive relationship, all after a major life change (the move to Forks) it would make sense to me for Bella and Charlie to go to a family therapist together before Bella goes to individual sessions. The breakdown of her parent's marriage, her mom's parentification of her, and her lack of real relationship with either parent is something I would want to see addressed and it's realistic for family therapy to be suggested with all those factors I mentioned. Bella doesn't need to have a fully mended relationship with her dad by the end of the series, but it would make the story a lot better if by connecting with him through family therapy she decides to trust him enough to tell him about Edward being a vampire and Jacob being a werewolf.

The Cullens

I have watched one episode of Vampire Diaries, so the concept of a why a bunch of vampire's would want to go back to highschool isn't too much of a concern for me. Using it as a way to re-learn what society is like makes sense… but that needs to be the stated reason and not vaguely implied. It also makes more sense to me if Rosalie and Emmet don't attend the highschool and instead pretend to be college students who live with Emmet's parents. Japser, Alice, and Edward are enough to work with, adding more characters to do nothing with doesn't actually help the flow of the story. And oh god does a lot of nothing happen in the actual series.

The overall concept for their characters doesn't bother me too too much. They're vampires who abstain from human blood and are empowered by not succumbing to their thirst, that's a pretty basic plot line and more importantly it gives us a conflict to work with. Everyone thinks the sparkles are dumb, so instead let's just go with the Dracula thing where they can't use their powers during the day. Since the Cullens are supposed to be stronger due to their lack of preying on humans, maybe they can use their powers but not as effectively? Alice still gets visions for example, but Edward has trouble telling whose thoughts are whose, Jasper can't always get a frim grip on people's emotions, Emmet isn't as strong, and Rosalie sort of just looks tired as opposed to beautiful.

The Volturi

They are the oldest vampire coven and potentially the largest. Again don't have much of a problem with this or wouldn't rather if they had some fucking character. I had to google Aro's name. He's one of their leaders and the only one who I felt was actually acting in the whole movie and I had to google his goddamn name. Also I am only going to mention this once and I am only going to talk about it here but:

Stephanie Myer is a Mormon and as a result her world building is very Mormon. Did you know Aro has a wife? I didn't, but pretty much every major character in the series is married and lives with their "children" and their children's spouses. Which is a fine way to live if you aren't weird about it but I don't trust these people aren't.

Anyway all of this section is to stay that they Volturi can more or less stay the same as they are already, but the rules they've established for vampire kind need to be introduced to the reader (and their existence) almost immediately instead of in book 2.

The Werewolves

The biggest thing I would change about the werewolves is the bit about them being "awakened" by the presence of vampires. I think it makes more sense if the wolves just awaken when they feel a strong need to protect their family period, the presence of vampires just makes the process speed up a whole lot because of the tribe's history. I also think it makes sense for the Pack to be viewed as sort of protectors of the land and the people from supernatural threats by humans who are aware, and for this to be sort of emphasized with Charlie's relationship with Jacob's dad and grandfather.

I mentioned that I would have Bella and Charlie connect after going to family therapy, but now that I think about it, I would also have Charlie know about the werewolf pack before Bella tells him. He leaves the supernatural policing to them and focuses on the human crimes, that way he's able to focus his resources and protect his people better. Maybe he comes to Bella first and admits he's been lying to her and lays out what he knows and that's what gets her to open up about Edward being a vampire.

Misc.

From what I have managed to piece together, the main "plot" of twilight is that Bella and Edward meet, they stare into each other's eyes a whole bunch and realize one has good smelling blood and the other is a vampire. Edward introduces Bella to his coven and some other vampires show up??? And want to eat Bella??? And then they run away and oh no. The evil vampires have found them again and try to eat Bella and then Edward kills him but leaves his wife alive so the rest of the books are just a girlboss trying to get revenge on Edward by killing his partner. Until the last book when the Volturi show up angry because Bella isn't a vampire yet and has given birth to a half vampire and while I am on that last point: no half vampire baby, we are throwing out that whole ass plot point. I think people sometimes go overboard in assuming Mormon creators make everything about their fiction Mormon but there is nothing more fundamentalist than immediately getting married and having kids at 18. It doesn't need to happen, we can just re-write that whole book. Ok? Ok.

This is probably where most of the variations in how to fix the series come in tbh. Is it just a romance series? Do you want supernatural adventures? What are the stakes? Do we address the abusive undertones to Bella and Edward's relationship and make it a plot point or do we try to fix Edward? The original series doesn't have much going on in it... except for one thing which I want to bring up now. If you like the idea of Twilight (vampire romance set in a small town where supernatural stuff happens) I would highly recommend playing the Wayhaven Chronicles by Misha Jenkins. Because she also has a protagonist with special blood that is enticing to vampires and blocks their powers… but in her interactive fiction series she explains it as being a natural mutation humans have evolved to protect themselves from supernaturals. Their blood also empowers all supernaturals, not just vampires. Both of these ideas are ones I like, but since the only creatures we are working with in Twilight are Vamps and Werewolves, let's keep Bella's blood to only effecting vampires.

For my part, the more I have thought about Edward's character, he doesn't seem like he's mature enough to be in a relationship. He clearly has some unaddressed traumas about his vampirism that are getting in the way of him making friends let alone a girlfriend, so for my "fixed" series he isn't Bella's endgame.

Anyway here are some more specific bullet points idk:

Book 1

James the tracker gets introduced before the actual vampire reveal happens. He tracks and attacks Bella, Edward protects her, and they start hanging out more based off of a mutual attraction fueled by Bella's desire to be needed and Edward's desire to preserve what he perceives to be as a pure human soul.

Alice becomes Bella's first real good friend and encourages her to explore things that interest her. Bella starts taking care of her appearance a bit more, not in a "oh good she wears make up now" way but in a way where she buys clothes because she likes them and not because her mom would approve of them and remembers to brush her hair.

Jacob is introduced and Bella thinks of him as friend, it's clear she sees him as still a kid and doesn't take him seriously. This bothers him, but we don't find out why in this book.

Edward tells Bella that James isn't something she should worry about any more, but that is a lie. He has been attempting to protect Bella on his own, with some help from Emmet and Rosalie on occasion, but he feels a personal responsibility to keep James away from Alice and Bella. (Alice apparently was turned by James or something? Anyway this should be a bonding point for Alice and Bella)

He still breaks in to watch her sleep and all that shit and Bella rationalizes this, even claiming to be flattered as all she's ever really wanted is to be cared about and this feels like someone cares.

But then she gets a call from James threatening her mother and because Bella sees herself as her mom's protector she runs straight into that trap.

Blah blah blah Edward has to drain poison from Bella, they officially start dating.

Book 2

Bella's birthday. She doesn't like being the center of attention or birthdays in general and no one really seems to get this. Her dad asks if she wants a cake or something and promises not to buy candles, and since Bella likes cake she agrees if he promises not to sing.

Her friends at school wish her happy birthday except for Jacob who gives her his present "just because." It's clear to Edward that Jacob is someone she cares about and this makes him jealous because he cannot stand seeing her interact happily with someone else.

Alice has planned a birthday party for Bella and is extremely excited to officially introduce her to the rest of the family, even though she has already met them, since she knows how much Edward likes Bella and she's rooting for him.

Blah blah blah, cut happens, Jasper freaks, Carslie talks a bit with Bella, and then oof

Edward dumps Bella in the middle of the woods the next day and she doesn't take it well. Speaking of which this pissed me off so fucking much "oh uwu I can't be with u because I am worried about how fragile u are and I'll huuuurt you" *proceeds to break up with her in the middle of the fucking woods where she can easily get lost and die*

Depressive episode like normal

Bella realizes she can still see Edward if she is about to do something dangerous and still goes to find those motorbikes and take them to Jacob.

Bella's human friends don't really get as much of a focus even though they are there, so I'd like to bring them back here for a moment. Maybe the pink one encourages Bella to go see a therapist after Bella brushes off her dad's suggestion because she's been thinking about the risk seeking behavior and is worried she encouraged it. She also admits to seeing a therapist herself and this surprises Bella, who decides maybe it couldn't really hurt.

As Bella talks with Jacob she says something about him being a kid and he gets offended by this, heavily hinting at maybe him liking her

But, as opposed to Edward who always brushed off Bella's offer of protection, when talking about Sam Jacob reacts positively to Bella's offer of help and makes the same promise. "You watch my back I'll watch yours."

Cliff diving scene stays but like it's not done on a whim, Bella gets a group together of kids from the highschool maybe? No weird movie date scene because that was cringe.

Anyway Edward thinks she dies, Alice comes for a visit, werewolf Jake freaks but trusts Bella when she says she will be fine and says he trusts her.

The book ends with Bella bargaining for the Cullen's freedom from the Volturi by agreeing to become a vampire, initially she offers to allow Aro or whatever the fuck to turn her but Alice intervenes and offers to do it herself. They set a date for after her graduation, and are warned of grave consequences if they do not comply.

Edward and Bella do not get back together at the end of the book.

Book 3

Bella and Alice are back to being besties. While Bella is not back together with Edward, but she is not dating Jacob either. She is attempting to maintain a friendship with both but it's not really working, as Jacob can tell she's keeping some sort of secret from him.

This secret being her impending turning, and the general theme of people trying to convince her that she doesn't need to do this remains.

There is a real focus on the lack of choice most of the Cullens had with becoming vampires and how that has affected them, with a heavy emphasis placed on Edward.

Edward and Carlisle have a long talk. Carlisle talks about the concept of soulmates and how he always hoped Edward would find his, but admits he maybe placed too much of an emphasis on that instead of actually addressing the problems he was having in the hopes that love would fix him.

Since this is my post, I think Aro should be a sort of character foil to Edward. Ed doesn't want Bella to become a vampire even though she would (allegedly) make a very powerful one, while Aro should be obsessed with making Bella into a vampire because of her blood. I would also make it so that Aro's "wife" was once like Bella, with the same good smelling blood, and directly contrast Aro's sense of ownership over her with how Edward had been thinking about Bella.

This terrifies Edward who also has a deep talk with Bella and apologizes, and while Bella accepts it they still don't get back together because-

Bella always had more chemistry with Jacob anyway. They share interests and hobbies, they like talking with each other, Jake is someone she is good friends with and someone she really is going to miss when she dies and becomes a vampire.

Idc let the plot with the newborn army remain, but like make the talk about imprinting actually mean something. Maybe Jacob has already imprinted on Bella but he's keeping that shit to himself because he doesn't want to pressure her.

Maybe it all comes out while he's wounded and Bella finally tells him about what she has agreed to do.

And then the book ends with them both agreeing they don't want that to happen

There's a book 4?

So I have no idea what goes on in the end of the Twilight series.

There's a war?

But not actually because it was just a vision Alice had?

Um I think there is potential for some sort of actual battle between the Volturi, other vampire covens, and the werewolves.

Apparently according to the wiki Aro's wife is locked in a tower somewhere in a trance because he killed her sister? And she was upset about that?

Uhhhh maybe they decide to use that to spark some in fighting between the Volturi

Jacob and Bella can get married at the sensible age of like 25 in the epilogue

And Edward gets with someone else idk. Maybe one of the newborns from Vicky's army who he goes on a healing journey with.

meh that's what I've got. I still like the idea of Bella being into catching beetles and moths and that's why she's ok with being in the woods a whole lot but that's not super important.

I think it should sort of low key freak both Edward and Jacob out. But that's just my opinion~

#<3 asks #talking shop #twilight saga #i guess #anyway sorry this is what i choose to grace you all with #i'm dealing with some heart issues atm so i'm in and out of drs appointments #if you have to go to the er i would recommend against going alone #i am more or less ok to be clear!#just stressed and taking some new meds #and trying to slowly ease myself back into writing so i don't stress myself out more

okay your turn if nobody else has asked: TOP FIVE JH CHARACTERS GO

... girl... how does one choose? how does one??? when there are so many beautiful boys??? ok. OK I'll give it a shot.

5. Captain Crow - The Sea Beast This film is just incredible on every front. One of my favorite concept artists worked on it (which I did not know until a few weeks ago but now that I know I feel like kicking myself because I REALLY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THEIR STYLE WELL ENOUGH BY NOW). But I remember watching this, and screaming when the credits began to roll because WAIT?!?!?! THAT WAS JARED HARRIS??? OH!!! WHAT A DELIGHT!!! I LOVE THAT GUY!!!! (oh babygirl wait a few months it's gonna hit you so bad). He's great. I hope we see more of him in the sequel that would be great for me.

4. Hari Seldon Honestly. What a little shit. "But Egg," you might ask "If he's such a little shit why is he on here?" well. He's hot. Really I am not over how hot this dude is. I know I couldn't fix him not in a million years. But idk. Something about him always makes my brain go brrr. So he's on here. Also I just love how fucking atypically written this show is and I have a wee soft spot for asimov. They didn't have to cast Jared as Hari and make him unbelievably hot. But they did. And he's so enigmatic. I love that.

3. John Lennon Egg's love for Jared Harris Origins. I was a Beatles girlie, ok? I'm not ashamed to admit that. It was my introductory fandom experience at the ripe old age of baby, and I really ate it up. I remember going into this movie being like "oh it's some dumb TV movie about John and Paul how good can it be?" Very good, as it turns out. And having assigned myself a John Lennon girlie I literally could never get over this depiction. The mannerisms, the fucking tripped-out way he philosophizes in conversation, the softness, and ofc the old friends tension. Jared got it all. Of course I'd seen him in stuff here and there, but this was the one that cemented him as a beloved actor in my mind for me (I literally re-wound the kiss scene as well like 20 times don't judge me but that awakened some stuff in me). Been following him ever since.

2. Lane Pryce - Mad Men This dude broke me for real. I didn't get into Mad Men until college, and binged it all on my friend's hulu account. And lemme tell ya. Did NOT see his final episode coming. Did not. And it made me genuinely weep. He was a highlight in the show. He was one of the only guys I could actually say is a good dude in that show, and he deserved so much better than he got in the end. I look at him and I'm just like... leave ur wife. Leave your job. Lets just go out of this capitalistic hellscape. I want to make him Well. I will love him forever for how he just completely destroyed me.

1.Francis Crozier / Valery Legasov - HA! you thought I was not going to tie them? WRONG! I can't keep these bad bitches apart.

Francis really needs no explanation at this point. I am so actually genuinely in love with him I'm writing a whole ass gothic romance novel of a fic for him, as you all know (and which has summarily turned out a BANGER of a modern AU as well). I made a bloody self-insert oc for him. Gothic Cinema is literally my favorite genre and Francis is the most Gothic Hero of all time, honestly (well besides Valery obviously). The serotonin he continually gives me makes my meds redundant. He is my sweet husband who I love with my whole life and that's that.

And Valery? sorry you can't put a babygirl of a man like that in front of me and not expect that I would want to jump his bones like? Not only is the constant existential dread relatable, but as much as people tell him he's not brave, he IS without a doubt, and honestly, just by virtue of uttering the most iconic logline ever fucking created he deserves this spot on this list. Both of these dudes make my soul ascend in a certain way not just with how brilliantly they were written, but with how incredibly Jared executed them (for which I want to kill the academy for not giving him awards on either). Top Beloveds forever and ever and ever amen.

#ask games #top 5 #jared harris #ofc there's a secret sixth one that only cherry knows about but it's ok y'all don't have to know #shout out to moriarty as well he was technically my first proper JH introduction before JL but #there wasn't room I'm so sorry y'all #I love him tho a lot wait I have regrets but I'm too tired to fix and debate with myself on this list anymore

Now y/n visits set everyday and has gotten to know the cast and crew well. She has gotten especially close to Richard Madden and Jamie Bell and is always chatting to them in between scenes.

However, something has been bubbling inside Taron. His chest feels tight whenever Y/n is laughing with his two co-stars.

Here they all are sat in Richards trailer,and having a good time after a hard day of work.Everyone was having a great time except Taron who was ready to explode like a bomb! Y/n and Richard were very cosy together. Too cosy! Her giggling like a five year old while wrapped up in his embrace. Him playing with strands of her hair.

"Right Y/n I'm gonna take you home now" Taron said grabbing his jacket. "Why? Its not that late?" "Y/n if you want a lift then follow me!" Taron snapped at her while fixing his hair. Y/n can tell Taron is stressed when he runs his hand through his hair to attempt to 'fix it' so to stop an argument she just went along with it. "Whatever! Goodnight you lot!" Y/n said while waving goodbye. The two walked in an uncomfortable silence until anger got the best of Y/n. "Taron what the fuck was that all about?" She raised her voice while stopping in her tracks. "I have no idea what your on about?" "Taron don't play dumb why the hell are u acting so strange lately?" Taron walked towards the girl and just looked directly into her eyes. "Just. Just get in the car." He stated while walking closer to the car until Y/n grabbed his arm. "No Taron you can't just act like everything is okay. Something is clearly up and for fuck sake I thought i am your best friend." Taron was about to protest but stoped and let out a sigh. " T you can tell me absolutely anything and god knows you have told me some pretty embarrassing things in the past!" Y/n says with a small giggle.

That smile. That laugh. Her kindness. All of them points is why he loves her.

Taron attempts to speak but no words come out. For once he is speechless. So he does the next best thing. With one hand he grabs her hip and with the other he holds her cheek. And after what seems to feel like an eternity his lips connect with his best friends. There lips fit together like jigsaw pieces and firework exploded inside both of there chests. The kiss felt right for both of them and after a minute the both break away breathless.

"That was the reason why I've been such a dick and I'm sorry i was afraid of how you would react and if are friendship would be affected because I can't live without you y/n/n. You mean the world to" Taron was cut off by Y/n lips.

Meanwhile near the entrance to the trailers and set was a smirking Elton John with his husband holding his hand, looking like a proud farther. "It's about bloody time" Elton spoke to David.

Thranduil and Josie Part 101- Seven Devils

Summary: The superstorm continues as Thranduil's physical form goes missing. Where oh where could he be? Grief consumes the the King's loved ones as all sorts of new information and trouble arises. Josie is left reeling after Jareth's revelation.

Notes: Credit to @redeemer46 for the superstorm term.

Warning! *Language, angst, dark story, death*

All Hallows' Eve 2 am

Although you vowed to kill Raven, you could not leave Thranduil. You sat beside your husband rubbing his hand that you laid upon his chest. "Baby, please...please open your eyes. Breathe. Please..."

"Somebody...please do something!! Daddy??"

"My sweet girl I...."

"Don't you call me that!!" you raged.

"My Jo...You know I cannot bring back the dead. Nor can you with all of your healing powers. I am so sorry my child. He is gone. You must let him go. We need to go now!" Julian came to you and pried your hands free of Thranduil as you kicked and screamed.

"Let me go! No!!! I will not leave him!! He needs me! I need him...I will die without him."

"Josephine...you must not say those things. You have a part of him alive inside of you that you must care for." Julian harshly said as he gave you a shake to snap you out of your hysteria.

"For god's sake man, let her grieve. and be with her husband." Garrett growled.

Julian scowled at the protective vampire. "Coming from someone who has never let her be with her husband? Why are you still here? No one except your own kind wants you around." It was clear your father was never going to accept Garrett in your life.

You shoved Julian off of you and looked around at everyone's face for some glimpse of hope. Legolas was still frozen as he knelt beside his father. Haldir's sympathetic eyes begged for you to come to him for comfort as his heart broke seeing you in so much pain. Selene offered you a compassionate eye as she knew this pain all too well when she believed Michael to be dead. She then whisked away and you knew right where she was going. To find Raven and bring her to you. Then your swollen eyes caught Garrett's, which were glassy and wet. As much as he despised Thranduil, he never would wish such suffering upon you. If he could do something to fix this, he would move heaven and earth to do it for you. He displayed a broken half smile to you and extended his arm out, offering you his shoulder to cry on like you once did for him. To Haldir's and Julian's dismay, you went right to Garrett and broke down in his arms as you clutched the pendant in your hand. He held you tight and said nothing, allowing you to grieve with no pressure, like Julian had displayed.

Haldir then took off on a war path also to find Raven, but Selene came back in which stopped him. "She is gone. They are all gone!" she intensely informed.

You stepped out of Garrett's arms. "What??!! She cannot get away! She knows something more, I can feel it! Haldir, why didn't you ask her more!??!!"

He tried his best to understand you were not angry with him or blaming him, that it was only your grief speaking, but it still hurt him. "I..I was only trying to locate Thranduil. I felt it to be the most imperative at the time and when she told us, you rushed off so we followed to help you. I am sorry I failed you...and Thranduil." He then quickly departed.

You knelt back down over Thranduil and placed your quivering lips upon his, long and deep. The soft suppleness and warmth of them were gone and he had an unrecognizable taste. It was bitter.

"Nin beautiful aran erain , nin mel, nin emel, nin faer. Im will avenge thee, an im mel cin more than nin own cuil. An all -o uir." (My beautiful King, my love, my heart, my soul. I will avenge thee, for I love you more than my own life. For all of eternity.) You said as you rubbed the back of your hand down his cheek, then buried your face in his neck and breathed in his lilac scent that was strangely still potent as ever. The rain always seemed to magnify it for some reason, so you figured that to be why.

You whispered into his ear. "Nin aran erain, take nin awaui o hi awful near." (My King, take me away from this awful place.) The exact words you professed the night you escaped Peter's cabin and blindly ran off into the forest. Thranduil came for you then and you believed he would come for you again. You just had to believe it.

"Legolas..." You placed your hand on his. "Please...stay with him so he is not alone. I will not be long. I must find Raven."

The Prince only slightly looked your way, but not in your eyes, then he returned his concentration on his father. It was his way of letting you know he understood. Your heart couldn't possibly break any more than it had, but it did for Legolas. You then raced off as Julian, Selene and Garrett quickly pursued.

It was now a torrential downpour outside and the moon had strangely changed back to a glowing moonstone like Thranduil's eyes. The 13th hour had ended in Jareth's time and he was ready to play.

You all had reached the edge of the forest when a horrendous yell came from the church. It was Legolas. You ran back as fast as you could with the others following.

As you returned to where you had left Thranduil and his son, there stood Legolas but Thranduil was gone. All that was left was the pool of blood on the ground being washed away from the rain pouring in from the broken roof.

"Legolas!! Where is Thranduil??!!" you screamed.

He just stood paralyzed, staring at the ground where his father had been.

"Legolas!!!" You grabbed his arms and shook him. "Where is he!!!!??"

"He...he...he just....vanished..."

"What do you mean he just vanished???? Did he just get up and leave? Were you not watching over him?? I asked you to stay with him!!"

"I did Josie!!! I never left! He just...it was like...stardust...and then...he was gone...right before my eyes..."

"W..wh...wha..." You stammered as your eyelids rapidly blinked from the rain drowning them. You couldn't even speak. You then began marching around the rubble in a frenzy. "Thranduil!!!"

He was nowhere. Just gone. You fell to your knees and sobbed so hard you almost vomited.

Large chunks of stone began falling as the rain hammered down through open ceiling.

"Josephine...we need to leave here now!" Garrett shouted.

You glanced up at him with the saddest of eyes. "I...I can't...feel him anymore....I....tell me this is all a dream...."

Garrett forced you to stand. "I so wish I could sweetheart. Josephine...I am so sorry for what is happening but I will be damned, even more so than I already am, if I am going to let you die!"

He held your head in his hands. "G..Garr...I don't feel so..."

You passed out and Garrett swooped you up in his arms. "We must get her inside where it's warm."

The five of you just got outside when the entire ceiling caved in. Back into the castle Garrett carried you as the others carried on beside him.

You awoke disoriented about 30 minutes later. "Thranduil!!" you gasped.

"Hey, hey. It's alright. Selene, Legolas and I are here." Garrett sweetly spoke and stroked your cheek. Julian was gone though.

"Where's my dad??? I need my dad?"

"He went to look for the others and try to find Jareth." Selene answered. Legolas stood staring out the window in silence.

You abruptly got up. "I am not going to just sit here while Jareth and Raven wreak havoc on more people I love. I promised my husband I would avenge him and that I will do!" But then, you felt extremely nauseated and dizzy and fell back onto the couch.

Garrett whisked to your side. "Josephine, what is it?"

"I...I think I am going to be...." You made a gagging sound as you covered your mouth with your hand. Then it all happened so fast, you didn't even see it. Garrett sped to one side of the room and back, placing a trash can in front of you just as your morning breakfast made it's way out of your mouth. He then held your hair back.....just like Thranduil had done for you. You then made a terrible frown as you wiped your lips with the back of your hand. The taste...it was just like when you kissed Thranduil. "Wh...what is that???"

Garrett peered into the trash can. "It appears to be...possibly fruit, crackers and maybe some...OJ?"

You smacked his arm, quite hard. "Garrett!!! Now is not the time for your stupid fucking jokes! I meant the smell....I tasted it on Thranduil's lips."

He leered at you in shock and offense. "I actually was being serious because I thought that is what you were asking. Sorry!" he snapped and got up.

Selene smelled it and veered around the couch, taking in a stronger whiff. It's....wolfsbane...." she whispered in utter disbelief. "I know it all too well. It has many uses but I know it because of Michael. In the right dosage and mixed with other herbs, it can stop his transformation just like the talisman bracelet I gave him. But...it is also very toxic and too much can cause....."

"Death...." you whispered in horror. "Oh my..god....my mother poisoned him....but....but how???? He swore to me he would never drink anything she offered him."

"But she also had a spell placed upon him. And...it doesn't have to be ingested to be effective. My guess is that it was on the knife." Selene revealed.

"But that makes no sense??" You stood up and began to anxiously pace. "She used the spell to obviously render his senses useless and lure him to her. She could have then easily had gotten him to drink it, so why stab him??? Why even use the poison??? There couldn't possibly have been enough on the blade to kill him. The wound alone would do that. This makes no sense!! She had some bigger plan here and it was interrupted when she was killed. So now what??? Where is his body?? How can he just dissipate into thin air????" You began to hyperventilate and ran to the trash can becoming sick again.

"There was obviously enough poison on it to make you sick just by a simple touch." Garrett said and turned you to face him. "We need to get it out of you asap." He placed his fingers on your chest and his hand glowed of a light blue as you peered up at him in confusion.

Sheer pain coursed over his face as his eyes rolled back. You felt nothing but a tiny tickle where his fingers were.

"Garrett?? What is happening??!!"

He couldn't speak and then he just dropped.

"Garrett!!!! Oh my god, wake up! Don't you do this to me!! I need you!! Selene, what is wrong with him??? What the fuck did he just do??" you reeled in panic as you knelt over him, smacking at his cheek.

"He took your poison into him. He will be alright. Try to calm down. He just has to go through it."

"What??!! Go through it??" you profusely panted as you stared at his motionless body.

"Yes...his own poison, the venom, will eat the toxin but it's not exactly a comfortable process. He will feel the effects of this for awhile."

Although you felt one hundred percent better physically, you still felt sick to your stomach at the thought of what Thranduil must have felt after seeing Garrett like this....and you only had a small amount in you from skin contact.

Garrett began to awaken and you helped him sit up. "What the hell was that?? Why did I not know of this power you possess, or...the one you pulled on Raven too for that matter?? Please tell me you are alright."

"I will be. I guess there was never a need to tell you."

"Ok?? Well, there's a now need for you to tell me so spill it." you demanded.

"It's really not that big of a deal Josephine. Some powers we obtain are carried over from our human lives, only magnified into something else. It all varies. It can be things we were really good at, or strong emotions we possessed...or even related to trauma we endured...and some are just based off of our sign....some don't even have any powers at all except the basics of speed. As far as what I did to Raven, turning her own power against her, I believe I received that ability due to my insane desire for justice upon that pos that killed my sister...you know, karma? Or how I felt I had no control in my life, but now I can paralyze someone with just a glance...I mean, look at Kate...her ability to electrocute someone...that happened to her in life and she was put on life support until Craven changed her. As far as what I just did...I can take people's sickness from them, but I have to suffer for it. My desire to keep my brother alive and not become a monster like me....to me it is a sickness and I did not choose it. No one chooses to be sick..My sister did not choose what happened to her, and all I wanted to do was heal her....so I think that's why I have this ability...to help others."

"First of all, I know you better than anyone and you are no monster. A monster doesn't do selfless acts. Second...that means...you are a healer...like me? What other tricks do you have up your sleeve that I am unaware of?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out....Sorry....stupid fucking joke, I know."

You had obviously scorned him earlier, just as you had done to Haldir without intent. "Garrett...I...I am sorry for what I said. You have to know, please, that I do not really think that. Your humor, it brings light into my darkened world. And...what you just did for me...I have no words except thank you."

"Don't thank me. I owed you. You healed me twice now so I still owe you another...let's just hope it's never needed."

But it was needed, only his kind of healing couldn't help you.

Legolas had been silent the entire time and kept to himself. You understood his pain as it was a pain only you and him could feel. You went over to him and took his hand. "Legolas....talk to me. I need you. We need each other."

He slowly removed his hand from yours and his eyes darkened. "What I need is my father. Apparently though, you have all you need right here. You just said so moments ago. I do not need you. In fact...all of this...it is your fault. My father would be alive right now if he hadn't gone chasing after your psychotic mother all to prove his love for you that he always seemed he felt he needed to do because you always made him feel he was not good enough for you."

You gasped as he glared at you. Grief, you told yourself, was all this was and that he didn't mean it but it hurt like hell and he knew right where to hit you.

"Hey!! Do not speak to her like that!" Garrett snapped.

"Or what filth?? Get out of my way..." Legolas snarled with his nose flaring just like his father and stormed off as Garrett stepped aside and sarcastically gestured with his hand to go.

"Legolas!!" you shouted and chased after him. As you both came upon a back exit to the mountain stream, there stood a grotesque creature that you had never seen before and it was staring right at the Prince and then it charged him.

Legolas' reaction time was slightly impaired from his grief and he didn't get his arrow raised in time. The hideous creature swung his arm hitting Legolas so hard, slamming him against the wall.

Legolas NO!!" You ran and stood before the Prince who was barely conscious. Your love for him and Thranduil sent the fire shooting through your veins and out it came with no effort. A flash of blinding light struck the dark form, catapulting it through the air and setting it ablaze.

Legolas got up with a minor bloody nose and you both noticed an orc on a warg out by the dock that stopped to gaze at you both.

"Next time I need your assistance, I will ask for it." he snarked and took off after the beasts as horns began to blow. One was familiar. It was the Lothlorien guard that had remained in the shadows until needed. Haldir must have ordered them out and you could see why. The other horn you were unfamiliar with but had to assume it was Narcisse's army.

"Legolas!! Please stop!" you cried. You were scared to death he was going to get himself either severely hurt or killed with the state of mind he was in.

Garrett and Selene came running up and you spun around to them. "What the fuck is that thing I just killed and why are there orcs here??!!!"

Selene walked over to the smoldering atrocity and kicked it. "That my dear is a wendigo. And I am certain Jareth has conjured them up, along with the ghastly orcs and their wargs."

"A wen...what??" you sputtered.

"A wendigo. Powerful monsters that have a desire to kill and eat their victims. In most legends, humans transform into wendigos because of their greed or weakness." Garrett answered. "They are much like vampires, evil ones anyways. They can infect you if bitten or scratched even."

A clock in the room chimed, grabbing your attention. It was now 3 am. The witching hour. Jareth's wrath was now upon all of Chateau de Lioncourt.

"Time is short....." you whispered in fright. "We have to go now!! We must find the others. This is bad....like really bad!"

"I will let nothing happen to you or your child. I will die first." Garrett swore as he laid his hand upon your cheek.

"What he said." Selene vowed with a grin. You all then raced off with the vampires on each side of you.

The storm kept up as you all followed the blazing horns which led you to the front of the castle grounds. You could see a multitude of the glowing eyes of orcs lining the forests borders and hooded figures opposite of them that appeared to be more reapers, aka death dealers. You were right about the foreign horns you heard. There stood Narcisse in front of his squad with your father at his side and Haldir with his as Aragorn led. And then....there was Lestat with his own clan, Maharet, Marius, and Armand included, and even Michael. A vampire army. Your heart dropped as if you had fallen from a cliff, which you knew that feeling all too well as looking at Haldir just now reminded you of it in Rivendell. The sound of Aragorn's command caused you to almost piss yourself.

"Thranduil...." you whispered and began to cry.

The wind suddenly kicked in. A glow of orange lit up the sky with a scent of citrus floating through it. Aragorn promptly ordered the guard to hold.

There was Jareth without a drop of rain upon him. And at his side stood the cowardly Clover smirking at you. You wanted to rip her limb from limb but you needed her alive to find out what happened to your husband's body.

He gazed at you and you cringed. He was just as you remembered him from your dream that had actually been a memory. All that could be heard in the dead silence was his words that echoed across the grounds. "Come back Sarah...come back before it's too late."

You glanced at Garrett, then Selene in great perplexity, then at Julian who had a mixed emotions tangled on his face of rage and fear.

"My child, do not fear me. Did I not tell you I would see you soon? It would have been much sooner, but your whereabouts were of great uncertainty after...my brother expired and you underwent the protection of the Elvinking. And of course, your interfering mother. Good riddance to her, may she rest in hell." Jareth grinned.

Julian flew over to you. Just another power of his that you never knew he had. "Do not listen to him child! He is a demon and filled with lies."

"Oh little brother. it has been a long time yes? So not good to see you alive and well." Jareth teased.

"D..daddy? Why is he calling me Sarah?"

"My child...I do believe you are addressing the wrong person. Do tell her Julian, witch hunter and 7th son.... or shall I?"

Julian death glared him. "Watch yourself Jareth, for you do not want my wrath, or have you forgotten my warnings."

"Ok, what the fuck is going on here????" you reeled. It was obviously more than some sibling rivalry.

Jareth belted out a sinister laugh. "Is it not clear to you yet my child? Julian is not your father. I am....."

Prompt: Percy, Nico and baby Emilia are having a nice family time at the parc (or some other public place) Nico leaves for a minute but when he comes back he find Percy surrounded but ladies who could not not go talk to that handsome guy who seems to be a wonderful dad ( we all know how attractive it is). Percy being Percy ofc thinks they re just cooing over Emmy but Nico being Nico knows better and can t let that happen. I need drama, yes.

It was supposed to be a fun day at the beach.

Percy had convinced him that it would be better to see if Emilia had an affinity for water as a grandchild of Poseidon by going to a public beach, the safest place since there were mortals all around.

Unfortunately, his husband had forgotten many of the essentials when packing, really only bringing along swimsuits and a change of clothes.

It had been a pain to Shadow Travel from Florida to New York and back to get Emmy's diaper bag, and take some sunscreen and towels while he was at it.

All in all, it took him 27 minutes to get everything ready and go back (yes, he had counted, whether it was to shove that in Percy's face or not was no one's business but theirs).

It was all it took for Percy to be surrounded by at least 5 women, with the oldest being in her forties and the youngest couldn't be older than twenty.

"She's already learning to eat on her own," Percy was telling them, gushing about their daughter. If he were paying attention, he would notice that they were all looking at his bare chest and not at Emilia, who was nestled against it. "Seeing her try to grab the spoon is adorable!"

"I bet it is," One of the women said with a sigh. "Why isn't the mother here?"

Nico raised an eyebrow. That one went straight for the kill. He also noticed her wording, avoiding calling someone Percy's girlfriend or wife.

"Oh, Emmy has no mom," Percy said in a cheerful tone. The women still 'aww'ed and some even put their hands around their chests. Nico had to resist the urge to gag. "But she doesn't need one, do you Emmy? Because you are so loved!"

"You're so good with her," the youngest woman said, she approached to touch Emilia (and maybe Percy too, while she was at it), only for the girl to scream at the top of her lungs. "Oh!"

"That's my girl," Nico muttered, smirking.

Percy started rocking her a bit, trying to check for anything wrong with her.

"Is it your diaper, sweetie?" Percy asked, worried. He spared an apologetic glance at the women before turning his full attention to Emilia. "Don't worry, papa will fix it soon."

And if that wasn't his cue, nothing was.

"I would say sorry I took so long," Nico said loudly, making the women look at him. "But you were the one to leave the baby bag back at home"

"Nico!" Percy said, relieved. "Emmy, papa is here!"

The women looked a bit confused, but Nico sat down and took Emilia from Percy's arms.

"Come here, Principessa," Nico cooed. At seeing him, his daughter stopped crying. "Did you have fun with dad, Emmy? Did you miss your papa?" He said, getting closer to Percy to put on a show. The women squirmed uncomfortably as he stared at them with a raised eyebrow.

"Um... my friends must be wondering where I am," one of the women said, getting up quickly and waving. "It was nice meeting you, Percy, Emilia, um..."

"Nico," he said coldly. Percy had already said his name before. He turned to Percy. "Emmy's fine, just a bit overwhelmed."

"I never know how you can just tell how she feels," Percy said, moving his finger around and watching Emilia's stare following it like a hawk.

"Well, she takes after me," Nico said proudly.

The other women muttered excuses and goodbyes as they left one by one. Nico smiled at all of them, only frowning once the last one left.

"I'm mad at you," he said, taking his distance from him.

"What did I do?" Percy asked, bemused. "Is it because I forgot the baby bag?"

"I leave for half and hour and you're already using our daughter to pick up a harem," he accused without any heat. Emilia gurgled. "Emmy agrees."

Percy's eyes widened.

"A harem? What in Tartarus are you talking about?" He said. "Those women were just enchanted by Emilia! I mean, look at her, she's the cutest baby in the world."

"I know she is, but that's not the reason those women were flocking to you," Nico said. If anything, Percy looked even more confused (it was adorable). "Did you mention me?"

"Of course I did!" He said. "I talked about Emmy's papa all the time!"

"And did those women know that Emmy's papa and dad are two different people?" Nico raised his eyebrow. Percy stared at him before hitting his forehead softly. "I'm not mad at you flirting, because I know you'll never do that. I'm mad at you not noticing they were using our daughter to flirt with you."

"Look, I've dated two... two and a half people in my whole life," Percy said. "You can't expect me to pick up on these things!"

"Half?" Nico asked, blinking.

"Rachel and I never really defined what was going on between us before she became the Oracle, but that's not the point!" Percy said. "I don't notice these things, because I only have eyes for you and Emmy!"

Nico stared at him for a few seconds, but it was Emilia making grabby hands at her dad that made him sigh and pass her to Percy.

"You are way too charming for your own good, Percy Jackson," he said. "Come on, let's introduce Emilia to the sea."

Percy gave him a fleeting kiss and stood up.

"Come on Emmy! You're going to love this!" Percy said. "Your dad is pretty awesome in the water, and your papa was born by the sea!"

Nico smiled as he watched his family. He stood up and followed behind.

The Ballad Of Never After Book Quote RP Meme

book 2 in the series by Stephanie Garber- feel free to edit quotes or change pronouns for rp purposes

“In the morning, you can forget it. You can go back to pretending you don't like me, and I can pretend that I don't care. But for tonight, let me pretend you're mine.”

“The truth is never what you want it to be, Little Fox.”

'I thought we'd already covered that yesterday. I'm always jealous. And so are you.”

“Nothing has been safe since the moment I laid eyes on you. And yet I don't want to look away.”

“It's all right. I'd probably kill another man if I found him with you like this.”

“She tried to take comfort in the books. Stories had always felt as if they were her friends. But all these stories felt like distant relations to the tales she knew.”

'You feel good, too’

“Sorry to break your fairytale, Little Fox, but ballads don't end happily, and neither do the two of us.”

“Ballads never end happily, everyone knows that.”

“i do not want you dead, and i'll kill anyone who tries.”

'Do you often travel with girls who've been flayed?'

“She used to think love was like a house. Once it was built, a person got to live in it forever. But now she wondered if love was more like a war with new foes constantly appearing and battles creeping up.”

“It smelled of him; of apples and magic and cold,moonlit nights.”

“Glad to know you're thinking about me when you kiss your husband.”

“Dark was for stars and dreams and the magic that took place in between days.”

if he hadn’t set her up for murder, she might have been a little bewitched by him.”

“How can you keep mistaking me for someone who cares?”

“I do not want you dead, and I’ll kill anyone who tries.”

When he wanted something, it was with an intensity that could break worlds and build kingdoms. That was the energy pouring off him now, as if he wanted to destroy her and make her his queen all at once.”

“We were all a little like you back then, stupid enough to believe that if we did the right thing, it would all work out.”

“I wish our story could have had another ending.”

“I know you're still angry with me, but you've always known what I am. I never tried to pretend otherwise, you just let yourself believe I was something I'm not.”

“She feared that dreams were like fairytales, a little bit true and not entirely trustworthy”

“You talk in your sleep,You said my name—a lot.”

She had never been afraid of the dark before. Dark was for stars and dreams and the magic that took place in between days.”

But maybe it was close enough. Maybe they didn't have to touch. She could live like this as long as she could live with him.”

“You know, biting is really like kissing but better, if you do it right.”

“I know, love. I’m going to take you somewhere safe.”

“Happy endings can be caught, but they are difficult to hold on to. They are dreams that want to escape the night. They are treasure with wings. They are wild, feral, reckless things that need to be constantly chased, or they will certainly run away.”

told you that I killed her, but I didn't say how.'

“If you really believe this is what you want, you're lying to yourself.'

“I was killing innocent maidens and kicking puppies.”

“He held her with the type of intensity that only happens when a person wants something that isn't quite theirs.”

"You have no idea what I'm feeling now."

“There is nothing of equal value to me.”

if he were to be, loyal, she could see him being loyal to the death.”

“I’m going to go back and stop your son from killing her.”

“That is not a small mistake to fix. If you do this, Time will take something equally valuable from you.”

'If I knew all it took to scare you was a little touch, I would have tried this sooner.'

'Since then, every girl I've kissed has died, except for one. And you are not that girl.”

“I hurt everyone, Little Fox. But you have to be alive to hate me.'

“It didn’t look that way to me, Little Fox, and I was here all night.

“In the morning you can forget it. You can go back to pretending you dont like me. and i can pretend i dont care.But for tonight, let me pretend youre mine”

“Like all admirers of fairytales, she'd always loved the scent of books. She loved the paper dust in the air, the way it swirled in the light like little sprinkles of magic. And most of all, she loved the way that fairytales always made her think of her mother and endless possibilities.”

“Fates were always fighting the urge to be that which they were made to be.”

“He was no longer her enemy. He was her home.”

'I'm sorry, Little Fox. I didn't want to hurt you, I just-'

“Why are you being so cruel?'

'You could have just said that. If you didn't want me to say goodbye or you want me to leave, you don't have to hurt me to get me to do it.'

“She hoped that he would argue with her- she hoped that he would fight for her. She hoped despite everything that he would choose her.”

'I don't want her dead. She saved you, you need to save her.”

“No one is going to die at this celebration. You are not going to kill people while we're here.'

'Someone is going to die. It will either be one of them or one of us.”

'I merely like the thought that I torment you as much as you torment me.'

'So you're the one who thinks about what I do when you're not around?'

“You're a little scary right now, do you know that?'

she didn't want to take it away. Instead, she hoped, one final time, that he would make a better one.”

'Do you still think of me as just a tool?'

'I try not to think of you at all.”

No, I stopped you from dying. That's not the same thing.'

“Life is not a kind storyteller. And I'm not meant to be a saviour.'

'I think you've been naughty, Little Fox.'

'No, they're just gossiping.'

'Then what if I merely give them the urge to cut out their own tongues?'

“All she cared about was that she was going to forget about him.”

“Maybe it would be better to forget him. She hadn’t wanted the forgetting before, but she wanted it now.She wanted the pain to end. She wanted to forget his dimpled smile, his brilliant blue eyes, the way he called her Little Fox. And suddenly, her chest was tight at the thought she might never hear that nickname again. And she didn’t want to forget. She didn’t want to forget at all.She didn’t want the memories erased or rewritten; she wanted more of them.”

'He wouldn't be happy if he knew I said this, but if you're not careful, you'll end up like her as well.'

“The Fate gave the queen a look more vicious than any curse.”

“I want to erase every moment you and I have spent together, every word you’ve said to me, and every time I’ve touched you, because if I don’t, I’ll kill you, just like I killed the Fox.”

' A dangerous intensity slipped in to Jacks' voice. 'I didn't tell you that I ran away, that I tried to leave her so I wouldn't hurt her. I didn't know if I really loved her, or if my feelings were all from the curse, because it wouldn't let me stop thinking about her. But she had more faith in me that I did. She chased after me. She was convinced I really loved her and that I could fight the curse. And I did. I never laid a hand on her. I overcame the Archer's curse. But it didn't matter, because as soon as I kissed her, she died.'

“She didn't want someone to hold her while she cried and tell her it would be all right. She wanted fury, she wanted rage, she wanted a villain to tell her she'd done exactly what she needed to do.”

“The girl was dead. If her lifeless body had not confirmed it, then it would have been made clear by the horrible scream of the Fate who held her in his arms. The story curse was familiar with pain, but this was agony, the sort of raw grief that was only seen once in a century. The Fate was every tear that anyone had ever shed for lost love. He was pain given form.”

“A tormented scream pierced the night like a blade. The sky bled, and darkness fell instead of stars, erasing lights across the Magnificent North.”

His Queen Pt18

"This is it" Larry says. I smile at the familiarities around me

"Perhaps I should accompany you in"

"No, I think we got it from here" thank you! Lancelot needs to leave us be, I know that sounds mean, but we will get this done so much quicker

"Really?"

""Yeah. No, we're good

"Right. Well... friends... Larry... clown-faced keeper of the magic tablet... I shall never forget your bravery. Nor your jests" they shake hands

"Bye" we turn around but we're stopped by Lancelot

"I shall not say goodbye...."

"I am"

"What?"

"I'm gonna say goodbye. I have to go, I'm sorry. I'll see you"

"I haven't seen these walls for many a moon"

"It's like we're at home"

"Amunet? is that you?" I turn and see someone who I never thought I'd see again

"Baketmut?" I run to the girl who used to be my maid and envelope her in a hug

"Come" she pulls us further into the exhibit

"Ahkmen? Amunet?" Shepseheret says running over to us

"Mother" Ahk and I hug his mother. Then his father appears

"Father"

"Welcome home, my son and daughter in law" Merenkahre hugs us and both Ahk and I can feel the emotions

"I want you to meet my friends"

"I am Merenkahre... Pharaoh of the Nile and Father to the Son of the Sun"

"And I am Shepseheret... the Glittering Jewel of the Nine Kingdoms"

"This is Baketmut. She was my maid for many years and became a very good friend of mine"

"I am Larry"

"Guardian of Brooklyn" Ahk adds

"I actually live in Manhattan now"

"I know, but it doesn't sound as cool"

"We would be very honored if you could take a look at the tablet. There's something happening with it. We don't understand what it is"

"You are speaking with a pharaoh. Kiss my staff" I snicker at how Merenkahre. He will get used to being less Pharaoh like. Larry blows a kiss at the staff making me raise an eyebrow

"Is it okay if I don't"

"You will show respect. I am the descendant of Ra, the sun god"

"I understand that and I totally respect you. I just don't pray to Ra, so...

"The Egyptian gods are the only true gods"

"Well, we try to stay a little more open-minded. I mean, Sacajawea, she honors her spiritual ancestors... and you pray to some sort of goat god, Attila? I'm half-Irish, half-Jewish..."

"You are? I love Jews! We owned 40,000 of them"

"Such lovely people" Shepseheret looks from her husband to Larry

"Here we go" I mutter. Ahkmenrah nudges me

"They were very happy, always singing with the candles"

"Yeah. They really weren't happy"

"Really?"

"No. They left. They spent about 40 years in the desert trying to escape. Yeah. We have dinner once a year and talk about it. It's a big deal for us. Listen, could you take a look at that tablet? There's something wrong with it" Ahk passes the tablet to his father

"It's losing its power" Merenkahre looks at Ahk and I

"Do you think you could fix it?" Larry asks

"To do that, I would have to divulge the secret of the tablet"

"I promise we won't tell anybody"

"No"

"I'll kiss your staff"

"Too late"

"Father, why do you insist on keeping this to yourself?"

"The secret was to be passed down to you at the proper time. Well we know how that went"

"Stupid Kahmurah" I cross my arms "took everything from us. At least his in the underworld now"

"Also, it has been 4,000 years. Now seems like a good time"

"You were born at midnight. I was Pharaoh... and I had seen wonders most men only dream of. But when I first gazed upon you... you were instantly more precious to me... than all the wonders of the ancient world. I knew I could never bear to say goodbye and I knew you would understand as soon as you had your first born. I look down at my feet with sadness in my eyes "I commanded the High Priest to create a gift to you, my son... using all we had learned of the mysteries of the afterlife. Forged in the temple of Khonsu, god of the moon... and watcher over nighttime travelers... the Tablet of Ahkmenrah. Our tomb was designed to channel Khonsu's rays down to the tablet... rejuvenating its powers every night. The moon god bestowed his power upon the tablet... so that, as long as it bathed in his light... our family could be together forever, and not even death could part us. It's been away from Khonsu's light too long" the tablets erodes and I begin to cough up dust

"My son, Amunet. What is happening to you?" Shepseheret comes over to us as Merenkahre goes over to Larry

"It needs moonlight... otherwise we shall all be dead by sunrise. Hurry! If the tablet dies... nothing can bring it back!" he shouts and Larry and Nicky are sprinting away. Baketmut helps to hold me up. I begin to hear a baby cry. I look up at Shepseheret and Baketmut confused

"You're daughter is here"

"But how is that possible? she died still in my womb. She wasn't fully grown"

"The tablet is more powerful than you think dear" Merenkahre says walking over to Ahk and I

"Would you like to see her?" I nod my head eagerly. Baketmut goes over to a crib that we had made for when the baby was ment to arrive. She takes out blankets and walks back over to Ahk and I. She hands over the tiny baby, who does in fact look like a baby, just skinny and very small

"What will happen if we survive this? is this how she will remain?" I ask

"No, she will grow, only when awake so she will stay a baby and child for some time, but once she is an adult she will stop growing. I made sure before we died to pray to the gods and goddesses of children, fertility and childbirth. I knew something was wrong when we were poisoned. I was worried for both you and your child"

Authors Notes - Written for -Accioluna, who requested Draco as a girl dad. Sorry it took so long; I hope it was worth the wait. Enjoy loves :)

Fixing my tie for up teen time it seemed crooked in my reflection as I brushed off the suit jacket as a way to relieve nerves, when I'm nervous I'm known to fidget it's a habit of a lifetime.

Moving onto my hair as I flick it to one side hoping it doesn't dampen from sweaty palms. Smiling slightly at my appearance, the age is starting to show not as much as others in their early forties, I can thank the Black genetics for that mother still looks radiant - Father however is a little worse for wear. Recently he has been confined to a wheelchair which he hates, Narcissa loves it. When he gives her grief, she just wheels him into the middle of the garden where he is unable to get back to the Manor, it was all fun and games until she left him out there in a downpour with just an umbrella. Safe to say the soggy sod was furious and contracted his first ever cold - How very muggle of him.

Today is a special day, I should not be nervous but I am. That does not stop it being a joyous event, weddings are beautiful. I won't lie, I'm a sucker for them. Therefore, it is crucial I look the part. I am the father of the bride after all. Fixing the lily to my pocket as I fidget some more, squeaking of a door frame pulls me away turning with furrowed brows that soon soften as my tear build on my waterline.

"Always admiring yourself aren't you dad?" My body froze as I took in the ethereal sight of my only daughter adorned in a wedding dress made of the finest hand-woven material. Anything for her, I'd give all my galleons to her whatever it took to make her beam the way she is at this moment.

Words escaped me as her own tears threatened to smudge her mascara, "You - You look exquisite. How is my bug going to be someone's wife from today?", Marching forward arms stretched out as she runs into me clinging of for dear life like she always has. "I'll always be your baby girl"

"Of course, you will, if your husband doesn't like it, I will beat his ass", She chuckled against my chest, Lance Prescott was charming, wealthy and successful we got on well and most of all I saw the way he stared at my girl, it was the same way I looked at her mother. The look of love radiating out every pore, he handled her as if she was made of China. When Lance approached me for my bless, I couldn't have been prouder even if my heart panged. Pulling away with a sniff she straightened out the fabric threatening to wrinkle. "Anyway, if you think I look good you should see mum", I grinned at her comment.

Soon it turned to a cheeky smirk as I replied, "Oh ill make sure to let her know tonight after too many chardonnays." Suggestively wiggling my brows. She groaned poking out her tongue in disgust, slapping my arm "Gross, I may be an adult but your still my parents I don't need that mental image on my wedding night"

"Nothing but hand holding" I scold with a humorous tone, "Noted" She giggles, waltzing over to the table. My sights follow her movements as she picks up a photo album. I'd been flicking through. She sighs turning the pages, many emotions were taking over as I edged closer to peer over her shoulders slipping into thought...

"Will you get over here Draco, you are being ridiculous", giggles flee my wife's parched lips. Dried and cracked as she lay plumped up with a swarm of pillows. Mouth upturned to a tired smile. Seventeen hours of gruelling labour and the woman is still beguiling to me, if she wasn't in pain, I'd be lavishing her in love.

Rolling her eyes Penny sighs heavily, adjusting the petite bundle on her chest. "Draco Lucius Malfoy, get your ass over here and meet your daughter"

Just that sentence made me shudder in fear - Nine months is not enough time to prepare for the birth of a child. A whole human to love and nature. Fuck, I'm going to vomit - Groaning as I meet the fiery gaze of a very hormonal and pissed off Mrs Malfoy, padding my way over to her bedside. Arms folded, pouting like a stroppy kid. Exhibit A of why I shouldn't be a dad, I'm still a child myself. Legally, I'm not. Mentally? This display answers that question.

Shrugging off the building nerves, a gentle hand reaches for mine pulling me to sit on the bed's edge. "See that wasn't so hard, was it?" Rubbing her thumb across my knuckle soothingly in lines.

"Guess not", clearing my throat as she passes our girl towards me. All but thrusting the tot into my chest, pausing to eye me closer.

"Take your top off"

My hues widen, slowly a smirk rises "Hardly the time for that darling" finishing with a wink

Penelope again rolls her eyes clearly sick of my shit, "it's good for bonding purposes' Watching intently as I grunt, lifting my arms to thread the shirt off.

"Put your arms out" Hesitating with furrowed brows as i eye the tiny one she is trying to hand to me "Do not make me call your mother"

Scoffing I keep my arms folded, "You wouldn't", She definitely would and Narcissa would be here with a snap, wooden spoon in hand. "Want to test that theory, Malfoy?"

Admitting defeat, I bowed my arms as she shifted with a wince, lowering the sleeping baby into my hold. As soon as her body nestled into my chest, Marley's lashes fluttered, staring at me bewildered with her mother's eyes. Each breath I took tightened in my chest, this is what true love feels like. "Mind her head, perfect you're a natural"

Running an index gently through her browning soft curls as she settled into my skin, she seemed at peace there against me. As if she knew instantly who I was, "Umm hi there, you are gorgeous aren't you?", flicking my eyes up and down at how compacted she was, barely the length of my forearm, "Clearly get your mothers genetics with height, little midget" I chuckled earning a scorned look from my beloved.

From that day I promised to love, serve and protect her - in this life and the next.

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

Our girl was a character that's for sure, from the moment her feet padded toward me in the kitchen one evening she was non-stop. A battery that never ran out of required recharging, she would bolt the length of our home again and again.

It was tiresome yet rewarding being a parent for the most part she was the perfect child, except for time like this. "Marley, that's enough splashing", the toddler's chubby cheeks rosy, red from giggling, arms flapping up and down. Hitting the water flat palmed drenching me and the ensuite. She turned to me with a look Id learnt meant trouble slowly descending her limbs into the air before slamming them back down. "Don't you .. fuck's sake"

"You are lucky your adorable", I huffed as she thrashed about in my attempts to scoop her out the tub, laying her down on a warmed towel as I turned to reach a nappy she was gone, muttering curses under my breath as I followed the wet footprints embedded in the carpet.

Skidding through the kitchen, the sound of my name dripping off my wife's tongue slowed me "Draco?"

"Yes love"

"Why is our daughter running nude in the garden?" Stepping towards her as she washed up dishes from breakfast, glancing through the bay windows there was Marley indeed naked running through the daffodils. Groaning as Penelope tittered in amusement. "What do you .. Marley-June get yourself back in here", I beckoned, only for to laugh and proceed to do Roley Poleys - Pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration, one palm braced against the counter.

Two arms wrapped around my waist as Penny mumbled," If I remember you did something similar on your stag do," Turning to face her as she moved her hold to my neck. I hauled her figure closer, Penelope pushed up on her toes to peck my lips.

"Want to recreate what happened after you caught me?", Making my intentions clear as I engulfed her mouth. Playfully pushing me away as our eyes met, "Your insatiable"

"Mhm, you love that"

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

Privacy in this house became non-existent, even as I sat in the bathroom doing my morning routine. Daddy's shadow was perched next to the sink watching in amazement. "Daddy, doing?"

"Shaving my face so mummy will kiss me again", Its true she hated any remnants of hair, often complaining that it itches.

"I help?"

"Sweetheart it's very sharp, you can't help", I dead pan fearing she could harm herself or slit my throat.

"You don't want my help?", making her eyes doe with pouty lips, damn her mother for teaching her that one. I melt every single fucking time.

"Fine, you can do the foam. Yeah?" She nodded excitedly, clapping her hands at my weakness. "Ok, pop a little bit on..." Marley held it down creating a mountain of white immediately slapping it onto my chin. "Daddy looks like Santa"

"I do don't I, Ho ho ho", We both laughed loudly as I did the same to her. Before, fun was disturbed by a stern throat clearing.

"For Godric's sake Draco" Penny sighed, biting her lip to contain smiles.

"Now that's no way to get on the nice list, is it?"

"Thought you preferred me naughty?" She winked, turning to run out the room. Me and Mars shared a look sprinting after her as I muttered "Damn witch"

One memory I can remember vividly started off from my wife's side. She was at work mingling in the staff room after finally finding a moment to indulge in light conversation. "Marleys first day at nursery, isn't it?" Elma asked Penny. She was met with a sad sigh as Penelope lifted the freshly brewed cup to her lips knowing it was way too hot, but she could use a distraction.

"Honestly El, do not remind me I've been worried sick since i left this morning"

"How's Draco coping?"

"Surprisingly well", My wife hummed. Peering up at her colleague, "Well no new is good news"

At that moment her personal assistant rushed in phone in hand, extending out "Mrs Malfoy, it's for you, its Marley's nursery"

"Hi, is everything ok? Is Marley alright?" Penny's heart thudded in her chest waiting for an answer, breathing a held breath when it was confirmed everything was wonderful. Until they disclosed the reason for the call. "Ah I see .. for fuck... Mhm yep give me ten minutes I'll be right there"

"Everything ok? Mars alright?" Elma questioned with worry. Watching as her friend rummaged around gathering belongings. "Yep, but my husband won't be"

Heat of the day threatened to blemish my pale skin as I perched under a grand oak tree, legs outstretched and crossed at the ankle. Novel opened on my lap as I flicked through, occasionally raising my eyes with a smile as I looked out for her wild mane, "Draco Malfoy what the hell are you doing?" That didn't sound like a happy woman, arching my neck as a very angry Penny hurried towards me, arms thrown up and a scowl present.

"Hello beautiful, shouldn't you be working?"

"Shouldn't you?" Keeping my head down pretending to read with fear evident as I gulped desperately trying to meet the gaze burning me flesh.

"I took a day's leave" I retorted with a shrug, "My god Draco" Ok, maybe camping outside Marley's preschool was a tad far but I wanted to be there in case she needed soothing, or she fell down. I never agreed to this, Penelope assured me it would be good for her to mingle with other kids, I was all she needed no one else. "What I just wanted to be here in case she needed me "

Marley-June did not go back the next day. One nil to Draco. However, she did attend groups at the local library which was fine as daddy could stay with her. It was nice watching her sing and interact with others.

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

"Don't forget Marley has a party tonight around five" Her mum murmured whilst scoffing toast trying not to be late for work again, sometimes she was jealous of how much time Marley, and I got together. "A party? Kids got a better social life than us"

"It's my boyfriend's birthday Daddy" I beg your fucking pardon?

"I'm sorry, your what?" I spluttered, blinking rapidly. "Draco."

"My boyfriend Joey," Bug answered, picking at her bowl of fruit.

"Sounds like a dick.." That earned me a punch in the should from the missus, "Draco Malfoy he is a child"

"A child trying to lead my precious girl astray."

"They are five"

"Exactly she is impressionable"

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

To say I was protective was an understatement. She stole all our hearts, especially her grandparents. They were besotted by their angel.

"Will you sit still..." Gosh she is bossy, although I'm not surprised her parents are very much the same, their way or the highway in most cases. It was bound to seep through the bloodlines. When I didn't obey, she slapped my shoulder to control my silent amusement.

"Ouch... Ok, ok, I'll sit still", I responded, met with a side eye glance as she continued expressing her artistic flair on my face, her own personal canvas ready to be transformed. I couldn't help but melt as her tongue poked out the corner of her mouth in concentration, how pinched together her tufted brows were as she stroked the brush along my cheek bone.

Malfoy men don't yield or kneel for love, blood or money. For her? Fuck I'm always on my knees kissing the soles of her feet. For both of them, even my father would sacrifice his life for those two girls.

Entranced, by the hypnotic ways of them.

So yeah, here I am, allowing my six-year-old to turn me into a Disney princess, if only my friends could see me now. They would laugh wholeheartedly before offering themselves as a sacrifice. There isn't anything we wouldn't do for her.

"Draco darling have you seen .. Oh my" Mothers palm flew to stifle her gleeful giggles as she took in the scene before her.

"Nana, do you like daddy's eyes?" Marley wiggled on the spot, pointing her fingers to my face, a little too close to my retina.

"Mhmm, wonderful pumpkin" Pumpkin, she got that nickname after her first Halloween when my Lil insisted on taking photos of her sitting in a carved pumpkin. Bizarre yes, but utterly adorable.

Narcissa's hues turned back to me as I gave a pointed look, smirking at what she hadn't noticed yet. "You haven't seen the best part yet mother... has she June bug?" Squealing in remembrance the toddler blues sparkled, shaking her head. Mum's face puzzled as I whispered "Look to your left"

Her mouth gaped as the figure came to view dressed in a fuchsia gown, pearl necklace to match and purple eyeshadow .. "Lucius?"

Father spun round from flouncing in the mirror, it was now my turn to hide my smile. "Don't look at me like that, she is very hard to say no to" winking at the giddy girl. She tried to return it but just blinked a few times.

Safe to say we are all at her command.

"Nana, Papa looks beautiful"

"Indeed, he does" she chuckled, "Now let's go wash up for dinner, boys could you re robed and join us"

"What's going on in here? Wow.." My wife did not control her laughter she never was able to, hand on her stomach lurching with each cackle. Strands loosely covering her eyes, tiny creases in the corners, dimples formed in her cheeks. Fucking gorgeous she is, traipsing towards her with a smirk as Marley skips past to jump in her arms first, I scowl with a small pout hitting her with the puppy dog expression.

Which Penelope doesn't see to start with as she is spinning our girl around scattering kisses, cooing words after a long shift at the office.

Traditionally men work, women stay at home tending to the children, preparing the meals. Not us, our dynamic was perfect. I'm a stay-at-home dad, I'd have it no other way.

Finally, she notices me, "Love, daddy's sad go help nana whilst I give him some loving" plopping down and scuttling off to be no assistance whatsoever, just dip her fingers in the deserts.

"Why is my baby so sad? You neglected hmmm?" She mimics my pout swaying her hips, fuck I want her.

Nodding as I close the gap to wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her flush to my chest. Her hands grasp my cheeks pulling me in for a longing kiss, "Missed you today" Mumbling on my mouth, lipstick smudged on us both.

"How about, you show me what you missed the most"

"Well.." Clearing of a throat made our heads snap to notice, Lucius fixing his tiara.

"Elders are present children, hello darling" kissing his daughter in law's cheek on the way past as he hung up his dress on the rack. I tittered pointing to his head, "No, this can stay on"

"Dad, you look ridiculous" Mel shoved her face into my chest as she shook with laughter, father pulled a stern face before he caught on to the singing coming from the hall, Marley and Mum sang always when they were serving dinner. Became a routine for them.

"Did you see how happy she was?" Pointing to me at the door, I'd wear a thousand dresses to see her that happy son" Winking with a grin as he sauntered away proud and tall as if he wasn't wearing a pink diamond encrusted tiara.

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

"Daddy, can I go on the climbing frame?" Marley squeaked bounce on the soles of her feet, chocolate ice cream smudge around her face. White Pigtails swinging by her ears as she waited my answer. As she observed others playing at the park, her mum usually did all this it made me too on edge all the dangers around.

"No..." I replied, licking my ice pole. A plus side of being a parent, if they eat sweet treats so can you. Be rude not to. As I'm sucking the juices off my elbows jerked causing the lolly to go further back than intended as I began gagging with watery eyes. Staring into the reprimanding hues of a angry Penny. "Now you know how it feels. Still sexy when you're on the other end, is it?" She hisses with a smirk, bitch.

Bending down to her daughter's height she licks her thumb rubbing the ice cream away. Pecking her forehead as she whispers, "ignore him go play baby", turning back to me with folded arms.

It felt like hours sitting on that bench watching Marley scream and run like a hooligan, A few times i stood up when a kid threw sand in her face, or she was shoved to the back of the line. I was yanked back down by the boss, seeing my tiny girl stand her ground. Brushing herself over before seeking revenge. It shouldn't make me proud, but it did.

Me and Penny drifted into light conversation as I relaxed more until the cry Marley echoed around and I sprinted into action as she lay in a heap under the monkey bars clutching her wrist in pain. I didn't even wait for instructions as I rushed her to the local medical centre.

"Parks are banned" I huffed, wrapping my limbs tighter around the shaky child.

"Draco it's a sprain don't be so dramatic"

"Dramatic? Wanting to protect her is dramatic. Because I care too much, maybe you should care more", That one hurt Penny, I know it did as she blinked confused at my outburst. That night there was a lot of arguing and making up. As well as bouquets delivered daily for a month, I was out of line I know that. Luckily it was resolved, and she stuck with me.

We learnt to work together not against each other, and Marley went back to the park in full body padding.

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

Being able to lay in, smothered by sheets and the love of my life. A sleep without a child's cry was blissful yet, I missed it beyond words. She was a teenager now; mummy and daddy were no longer needed as much. Sighing that my body clock automatically woke me at this time, five am to be exact. Stepping into the corridor out of our bedroom careful not to wake the wife. I heard faint whimpers coming from Marleys room, knocking quietly before I entered, she was perched on the edge of her bed sobbing.

"Bugs? What's wrong?" Her teary hues met mine as I rushed to her side. Noticing the blood-stained sheets, crumpled pjs and realisation hit what was happen. "Do you want me to get mummy?"

She leaned on my shoulder whipping the tears on my flannel shirt nodding, slowly i stood. Marley clutched my wrist pulling me down to hug me properly, muttering words into my neck. "Daddy is this normal?"

"Yes, baby it is"

"Does that mean I'm growing up?" She sobbed harder.

"Unfortunately, so princess but it's ok", I don't know who I was reassuring myself or my daughter. Sighing as she moved to gaze at me, "Can we go bra shopping?" She beamed.

Chuckling as I stood to go fetch her mum, "You don't need a bra" Not that I'd checked or looked in that area, that's her mother's job but I refuse to except that she would need one.

Jumping to her feet she gripped the edge of her Pj top, "I do daddy look they are growing see." Before she could whip her shirt up, I ran out the door colliding with the frame as I bellowed for my wife "Penny, wake up woman .. I'm not built for this shit". I was the centre of their jokes for weeks.

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

From that day the years flew, starting school. Graduating and going to university. Parties were my personal favourite at the same time I loathed them.

Marley-June was an hour late for curfew she had attended a house gathering, I knew what that meant I was a teen once. Driving to the home of her friend Shelby, alcohol fuelled kids scattering the yard, strobe lights beaming through the windows. I shoved through the crowd's eyes peeled in search for my rouge teenager.

Music blaring, fuck how do they listen to this crap it's so loud. God I am old, snatching what looked like a vodka soda of the counter as I strutted through the kitchen chugging it back, people in the party began thrusting beverages in my hand at some point I forgot why I was there especially when a favoured Slytherin tune sounded through the speakers.

My poor wife was waiting patiently for us to come home, her phone began buzzing Marleys name flashing on the screen.

"Marley, where are you? Did dad find you?" She spluttered in a panic.

"Oh, he found me alright, Mum come get him. Hes's dancing"

"Of course, he is" Penny snickered at the tones of disgust from our child, "Won't be long"

I was having the time of my life, a circle formed around me in cheers as I took to the stage well the coffee table. Gyrating, and cracking out old school moves you can imagine it right, not a pretty sight. Chants of 'Marley's dad, Marley's dad' egged me on further, snickers of how cool I was, made me grin. Whipping the tie Id fastened around my head about in a circular motion as I began two stepping, tumbling off the table to be caught by .. Oh, that's not good.

My wife. "Hellooooo beautiful" I hiccupped in a slur.

Fighting back the smile with Marley shooting me daggers from the side, "Well hello Handsome, shall we go home?" She cooed undoing the tie to tuck it in her bag, brushing hairs out my eyes. "You want to take-take me home?"

"Grab your coat Malfoy you've pulled" She giggled, looping my arms over her shoulder. Grinning as I stumbled behind shouting over to the onlookers, "See that guys I pulled", Cheers erupted once more, as I placed a sloppy kiss on my wife cheeks.

"It was the dancing, wasn't it?" Her and Marley laughed at my stupid ways, guiding me to the car.

The memories go on and on, they are never ending. And there's many more to come.

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

"Dad? Are you ok?" I don't know when I began crying, but I was just the thought of giving over responsibility for something so precious to me ached. Those early memories I shared are few of thousands in the twenty-two years I've had her earth bound with me. I wouldn't change my life for anything.

"Daddy?" Marley peered up with a worrisome look, "Yes baby...". She grabbed my hands, weaving them into her own as she stroked my knuckles with her thumbs.

"Are those happy tears?" Nodding in response I whispered "Yes, just i love you daddy the whole world"

"I love you too"

"I couldn't have asked for a better father, you were everything", Fuck here comes the sobs, "You are my everything" I spoke back with trembling lips.

Less than an hour later I walked her down that aisle, observing as she changed from a Malfoy to a Prescott. Knowing my job as a father isn't over, there's a whole new adventure waiting for me. A delicate hand placed on my shoulder as I turned to greet my wife.

"You look ravishing in that dress. I can't wait to rip it off later", She blushed at my crude words, leaning her head against me.

"Easy tiger we have precious cargo", She grinned stroking a tentative hand over the bulge in her belly. My left palm moved down to join hers.

Call us crazy but I cannot wait to do it all again.
