Hi guys!
I've got a lot of request for a new Luna one (one, two, three, four, five) so here it is :)
Enjoy ♥
TW : Mention of injury, a little bit of angst, massive fluff
______________________________________________________________
Back in the hotel room that Lucy shares with Ona after her morning walk, the English woman can only smile in front of the view that offers itself to her. Ona, sitting at the small desk in the bedroom, is deeply focused on the screen of her laptop that she insisted to take with her. And for good reason, the young fullback, in addition to being a professional footballer, has embarked herself on financial studies and is currently in full revision. Not a lot of people know that the Catalan started it. It was something she started in back in Manchester and that she's still working on.
But what makes Lucy smile is Ona's concentrated face and her slight frown. She putted on her glasses, her hair is loose and she’s so focused on her notes that she doesn't even realize that Lucy has just entered the room. If Lucy hadn't found her girlfriend so attractive as she is right now, she would probably have pouted.
Ona finally notices Lucy's presence, but she doesn't leave the screen with her eyes. It’s only through her smirk that Lucy knows she’s been spotted. But this doesn't prevent the brunette from putting her two hands on the back of Ona’s chair, trying to decipher Ona’s notes taking in Spanish, over her shoulder.
"Hello there" whispers Lucy, laying a kiss on Ona’s neck, making her shiver. "You’ll have to finish soon Sweetheart, we’re going to leave for the stadium"
Ona responds with a simple throat noise, finishing to write her sentence as well as she can since Lucy has laid a new kiss on her neck and now her lips are slowly rising towards her neck.
"Lucy" warns Ona, smiling anyway.
Ona was going to ask her girlfriend to behave herself, but suddenly there are teeth against her skin and brain short circuit.
"Mh?"
"If you continue, it won’t be my studies that will make us late"
Lucy laughs softly but retreats, offering her hand to help Ona to get up.
"I can’t help it. These glasses are doing things to me"
Ona rolls her eyes but faces her after getting up, passing her arms around Lucy’s neck for a delicate kiss. But it's quickly interrupted by strong knocks to the door and the perfectly recognizable voice of miss Putellas.
"Lucy Bronze, take your dirty hands off my sweet Ona and come down, it’s time!"
If Lucy grumble, Ona laughs softly as she hears the voice and the words of their captain. Alexia has always been very supportive and sweet about their relationship, Ona still remembers perfectly the comfort she found in the blonde when she found herself facing Lucy's reaction at the end of the World Cup final. Alexia had put her arm around her shoulders and reassured her, advising her to give Lucy time to digest things.
And she was right. When Ona took a second shy approach in Lucy’s direction after handing over the cup, it was Lucy who took the Spanish in her arms and apologized at length for her reaction. Then came the moment between the two girls that the photographers immortalized, the rest of the world far from suspecting that the two young women were in reality already in love for several months.
********
A few hours later, the two women are on the football field, playing the final of the Champions League. The game being played in Portugal, many Barcelona fans made the trip and are easily recognizable thanks to their colors. The ambient noise is particularly high, but this doesn't prevent Ona from being fully focused on her game.
The stress and pre-game pressure gave way to a determination without fail. After a short stint in the middle of the season with all the matches they had to play, Ona regained her usual form and quality of play.
Barcelona led only 2-1 in the sixtieth minute, despite a Barcelona domination. Frustration begins to be felt by the opposing team, which can't pass the midfield and the wall formed by the Barcelona's defense.
Ona will need to review the images to understand what really happened, but what she knows is that she finds herself suddenly on the ground with a radiating pain in her knee after one of the opposing players has fallen on her. Or rather, Ona will realize it by reviewing the images, fall on her knee with her boot first.
Ona’s cry of pain echoes throughout the stadium and Lucy feels her blood freeze in her veins. Despite being located on the other side of the field, Lucy is the second to join Ona, only Alexia who was nearby has done faster than her. Between the fact that they speak too fast in Catalan and that Ona’s voice is distorted by pain, the English woman has a hard time understanding what they were saying.
However, when she hears Alexia talk about ACL, she is not far from the malaise.
"It's her ACL?" Lucy asks in a scared voice.
"I don’t know" whispers Ona, her breathing difficult.
Lying on her side, her face hidden in her arm, the pain seems to be difficult to bear. Lucy knows perfectly well that Ona is far from sensitive to pain.
Crouching at the head of Ona, Alexia asks the questions instead of the nurses of the club yet came to take care of the Catalan. Too absorbed by her girlfriend’s twisted pain face, Lucy finds it hard to focus on anything else. When the nurses ask Ona to roll on her back, Lucy grabs her hand and doesn't release it when she perhaps should have. But Ona grab it and squeeze it hard anyway.
Neither of them have done what people like to call a "hard lunch", but they don’t hide either. Lucy has never been one to appreciate the demarcations of affection in public, they have never had too "strong" gestures. Even if she must admit that the English woman quickly succumbed to the constant need to be physically close to Ona.
A few minutes later, Ona sat down and seems reassured by hearing the different sentences made by the nurses. Their voices more posed than Alexia’s earlier allows Lucy to understand that a rupture of the ligaments seems to be excluded, but that Ona will have an impressive bruised.
"We can put stitches, if you want" the nurse proposes by carefully observing Ona’s numerous wound.
"I’m going to have to get out of the field and get substitute for that, right?" mutters Ona.
"Yes" simply answers the nurse
"Can I keep playing like this without the stitches?"
"Yes" answers again her interlocutor after a split second "But we will protect it correctly. And it is obviously on condition that you can walk"
"Ona…" gently makes Lucy.
She obviously understands Ona’s mindset, she too would be gutted to leave a Champions League final on injury. But it’s obviously out of the question for Lucy to let the woman she loves take risks. The two women only need an exchange of eyes to understand each other.
"I can do it, I feel it" promises Ona in a tone that she hopes will be soothing.
Lucy observes her attentively for a few seconds, her eyes plunged into Ona's chocolate eyes that she adores more than anything, before simply nodding.
The other two teams took advantage of this break to go to drink, the Spanish ones after obviously making sure that things were going well for Ona, so Lucy decides to stay next to Ona while her bandage is put in place.
"I’m sorry. I panicked a bit" Ona mutters to Lucy as the last bandage is put in to hold the protection around her knee.
"Me too" confesses Lucy without leaving her eyes.
The English takes the place of the second nurse and helps Ona to get up, her hands close to the young woman when she's up, ready to catch her at the slightest sign of weakness. But after testing several movements, Ona nods to the staff.
"I think I’m okay" breath Ona.
But Lucy still takes care of accompanying behind the line so the match can resume. And, without really realizing what she is doing, leans over Ona to kiss her before leaving. When it hits her, Lucy changes direction at the last moment and her lips settle at the corner of Ona’s, who feels her breath stop briefly under the surprise.
A split second later, Lucy turned around to take her place back on the pitch, hoping no cameras weren’t turned in their direction. (They totally were)
About thirty minutes later, the whistles announcing the end of the game rang out. Salma managed to secure the team’s lead by scoring a third goal, so the victory did not escape them. And it’s therefore with a joy hardly measurable that Ona wins her first Champions League. If she directly crosses Lucy’s gaze to whom she addresses a big smile, it’s Ingrid who takes her first in her arms, the Norwegian woman jumping in the arms of the first teammate near her.
The ceremony cup gives Ona the impression of walking on a cloud. She’s simply unable to stay away from Lucy during these moments, not knowing if she will spend at least an extra season in Barcelona. Lucy never extend her contracts, each time wishing to see what other places have to offer to her. Ona knows that an extension has been offered to her, just as she knows that Manchester City, Lyon or even American teams are interested in her.
If the idea of returning to a long-distance relationship like they were before last summer seems possible if Lucy leaves for Lyon or Manchester, the idea of being separated from her by an entire ocean and different time zones terrifies her. She's terrified that Lucy can lose interest with her and their relationship. But she never talked to Lucy about it, obviously not wishing to be a brake on her career.
The fullback decides to push these thoughts into a corner of her head for the moment, preferring to focus on the celebrations and the present moment. However, Lucy doesn't miss the dreaming look of her girlfriend when she watches the golden confetti falling from the sky.
Not resisting the urge to be with her, Lucy approaches Ona, signaling her presence by placing a light hand in the hollow of her back. Quickly leaving her observation, Ona addresses a tender smile to her girlfriend who gives it back to her.
"Are you okay?" asks Lucy, again almost disconcerted as she dives into Ona’s eyes.
Her chocolate eyes now seem glittered with gold, reflecting the sparkle of confetti around them.
"Perfectly" assures Ona with a small smile, even though the pain in her knee seems to wake up now that the adrenaline is slowly passing. "You?"
"Better than ever"
Ona’s smile is magnified by seeing the real joy on Lucy’s face. The Hispanic has often teased Lucy by seeing her not taking advantage of the wins at the moment and immediately focusing on the next game, but tonight looks different.
"We were close to the hard launch" comments Ona, once again looking up at the confetti that still fall from the sky.
Her amused smile, however, makes Lucy widely understood that she’s not angry and that it even amuses her a lot. These stories of "hard launch" and "soft launch" having become a kind of running gag between them. Lucy laughs and rolls her eyes, giving her a little playful hip kick.
"Don’t be an ass. I was really worried about you"
"It would have been a shame if it was me coming out on an injury because of her knee, between both of us. I was afraid you couldn’t get up when you knelt next to me earlier" Ona tease.
"I will kneel in front of you as often as I can" smirk Lucy, bowing her eyebrows with a playful look to the implication of her sentence.
Ona obviously doesn’t need any further explanation but gives her a playful slap on the arm in return. The noise around them prevents anyone within fifty centimeters of them from hearing what they are saying and in any case everyone is too busy celebrating or chatting with other people.
"I'll always be here to help you getting up"
Lucy smiles again before biting her lower lip, looking closely at her girlfriend. She knows that the next words she says will surely trigger something, positive or negative. But it’s been a few days since her decision for the rest of her career has been made and she simply can’t keep the information to herself anymore. And it doesn’t matter if it’s not the right time.
"Well you can continue to do it on the pitches next year, by the way"
It takes a few seconds for Ona to understand what this sentence implies and she feels her heart miss a beat, mixture of joy and fear of having misunderstood.
"What?"
"I extended my contract"
"Lucy…"
Ona feels silly when tears tickle her eyes under Lucy’s watchful gaze, and even before she can do anything, they are already threatening to overflow.
"Is it real?"
"Yes" replies Lucy smiling, before adding almost timidly "I stay with you"
Ona’s cheeks are wet with tears when she jumps into her arms, pressing her face against hers before kissing her. Smiling against her lips, Lucy passed her arms around Ona’s waist to secure her and prevent her from falling. They will finally last a year and a half before one of their kisses is made public and that it probably formalizes their relationship in the eyes of people.
"Hard launch" grins Lucy.
And even if the gesture will be long teased by their teammates, it doesn’y matter for either of them. What does, however, is the happiness they both feel at this moment.
"I was so afraid of losing you" Ona confesses without really taking off from Lucy, however finding her two feet on the ground again.
"It will never happen, even if all the oceans of the world separate us, Ona. I promise."

April Fool's! ~ a DTH special
here's the first of (I'm sure) many Deck the Halls specials! in honour of April Fool's Day I figured it was the perfect occasion to write a lil something about our Schmoopies (who love to prank each other)
I did take a teeny bit of inspiration from @tangledinlove's heart eyes series (which if you haven't read then go now! also I recommend everything on love's master list) and wrote this special through the eyes of Holly, George, and Lucy!
edit: I should add in now that you probably could read this as a standalone? there are some references in there that might be teeny spoilers but tbh DTH is pretty formulaic so you could figure out the plot just from the summary 😂
Warnings: one or two swear words, and I think that's it? maybe a spoiler in the form of Holly being there?
Word count: 1.7k
anthony lockwood master list
enjoy the pictures of lockwood and Cameron being silly boys!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Where is he?”
Holly looked up from where she sat at the kitchen table writing a shopping list to study the girl who stood in the doorway. Y/n had her hands on her hips and a frown on her face, and Holly felt sorry for whoever she was looking for. No doubt it was Lockwood, having forgotten an important anniversary or something, who was provoking the glare that had settled over Y/n’s features. 
“Lockwood?” Holly asked, returning her attention to the shopping list. She tapped the pencil against her temple while trying to think of what she was missing. 
“Yep. Have you seen him? I’ve got a bone to pick with him, the little shit.”
Holly snorted, then a thought popped into her head. She wrote down ‘tomatoes’ in neat print with her pen. “What’s he done this time?”
The other girl huffed and moved further into the kitchen, pulling open cupboards with a little too much force. “He’s pranked me! Hid all the toothbrushes in the house and now I can’t brush my teeth!”
“I- he did what?” That was such a random thing to do, and yet it was very perfectly Lockwood. “Why would he prank you?” Holly’s colleague stopped in her tracks, arms spread open with the cupboard handles in each hand, and slowly turned around. Instead of the initial frustration that had been on her face there was now confusion. 
“You… you do know what day it is… right?” Holly shook her head, brows creasing. “It’s April Fool’s Day? First of the month?” Realisation dawned, and she rushed to stifle her laugh when Y/n started glaring again. “Why is that funny? Lockwood hid all the toothbrushes, Holly! How do I brush my teeth now?! I had Weetabix this morning and my mouth feels all gross,” she complained. 
“I think he went out for a walk or something,” Holly answered, finishing up her list. “That was a while ago, though, so he should be back in a minute.” No sooner than she’d stopped talking the sound of the front door opening made both girls look in the direction of the hall. Shuffling noises followed while the person moved around, then footsteps grew louder and the kitchen door was pushed open to reveal the head of the company. 
Anthony Lockwood was many things: a great boss, slightly suicidal at times (although the number of occasions that he threw himself directly into danger had decreased significantly after the Christmas holidays), an excellent swordsman, and a loving boyfriend to Y/n.
But as Holly watched Y/n she knew that he was also in a lot of danger. 
“Ah. Hello, Darling. Holly.” He was wary, gaze flicking between the two girls as he stayed holding on to the door handle. Y/n’s eyes narrowed, and Lockwood’s attention was suddenly solely on his girlfriend. His smile faltered slightly, and there was a split second where both he and Y/n sort of… hovered, the tension in the room palpable. 
Then the chaos started. 
Lockwood turned and fled the room, footsteps heavy on the stairs, and Y/n was hot on his heels, yelling as she thundered after him. Holly could hear their laughter echoing through the house, and she let out a chuckle of her own as she stood up and folded the shopping list, putting it in her pocket. 
Her boss was going to suffer dearly for the rest of the morning for withholding the toothbrushes, but he wouldn’t be physically harmed. 
A thump sounded on one of the upper floors, something that sounded worryingly like a body hitting the ground, and pleads of mercy followed immediately while mixed in with laughter. 
She was tickling him, then. Going for the feet if she wanted maximum effect or sitting on him and going for his sides if she was smart and didn’t want him wriggling away. 
Holly picked up a bag and her keys in the hallway, and made for Arif’s. Hopefully Lockwood would no longer be a hostage by the time she got back. 
~~~
George Karim was normally quite forgiving when it came to Y/n, but printing out tens of pictures of Penelope Fittes was a step too far for him. 
“Why do you even want to do this anyway? I thought after the whole… ‘fake-dating-turned-real-dating’ thing over Christmas you weren’t fighting anymore.” He was spread in front of the printer in his room, blocking his friend from accessing it. Since getting back from her family’s house in the middle of nowhere a few months ago, after snowstorms stretched out their Christmas, Lockwood and Y/n had been annoyingly cute and coupley.
“He hid all the toothbrushes, George. He’s having a nap right now because I tickled him into exhaustion, so I’ve not got much time before-” she broke off when George tackled her to prevent her from using the printer. 
“Okay… well why does that mean you’re printing loads of pictures of Penelope Fittes? The head of the company we hate?”
“… Because I’m going to cut them out and replace all the photos in the house with them.” The pair of them stopped squirming and George pushed his glasses back up his nose to stare in shock and confusion at her. 
“You… what?” 
“It’s April Fool’s. I’ve got like… two hours left before midday. Please, Georgie. I have to get revenge.” He sighed, then released his grip on her. 
“Fine. But when he gets annoyed, you are not linking this to me. I’m not getting dragged into all of this.”
The two of them spent the next fifteen minutes printing photos and cutting them out, and when it sounded like Lockwood was stirring, Y/n sent George to keep him distracted. He penned his boss in the library where he’d fallen asleep earlier, spewing facts about the next case they were going to go on to keep Lockwood there while Y/n snuck around the house. He wasn’t sure how long he’d been waffling on about murder victims and Type 2s, but when Lockwood’s girlfriend tentatively peeked around the door he had to stop himself from visibly sighing in relief. 
“You alright, Schmoopie?” Where the nickname had come from, George had no idea, but Y/n was the only one who used it and specifically only when she wanted to piss off Lockwood. Lockwood himself knew this too, and George could immediately see the suspicion creep in. 
“… yeah. Are you?”
“Hm? Oh, yep!” Her grin was wide, and looked rather like a shark, and George wondered why Lockwood was staring all heart-eyed at her despite being suspicious. “Just been… finding toothbrushes.” It was Lockwood’s turn to smile now, boyish delight making him perk up. 
“Get any?”
“Eventually. Took me a bloody long time though,” she mumbled the last part, but the boys still heard. George snickered. Lockwood’s smile grew. “Anyway… tea?”
“Alright then,” Lockwood replied, stretching out a hand and moving over to the doorway. Y/n took it, planting a kiss on her boyfriend’s cheek before pulling him out the room. 
She sent a wink over her shoulder at George as they turned the corner and disappeared. 
~~~
So far, the pranks were one each. 
Lucy had noticed Y/n putting photos of Penelope Fittes in all the picture frames around 35 Portland Row, and when her friend had explained why, she had gladly joined in. Any opportunity to mess with Lockwood was an opportunity that Lucy took. 
Around half an hour after Lockwood had reappeared from the library, he still hadn’t noticed that all of the photos had been replaced. He’d spotted one or two maybe, but that was it. Some were more sneaky than others, and Lucy knew that Lockwood would be finding Penelope Fittes photos for weeks after today. 
Now she was sat in the living room with George, Holly, and Y/n, sketching in her pad. There was near silence in the room, the clock ticking and what sounded like suppressed snorts of laughter outside the door the only noises. Lucy frowned, glancing at the door every few seconds. After another minute or so of stifled laughter Lockwood appeared, mouth pinched to hide the smile on his face as he walked in and sat on the arm of his normal armchair where Y/n was sat. 
“…Lockwood?” Lucy asked. “Why are you wearing a hat? You’re… indoors?”
“Oh! Just felt like it! Thought it would be nice to wear something a little more fun. For morale, you know?”
Y/n looked up then, and gaped at the top hat perched on her boyfriend’s head. “You’re ridiculous, Anthony.”
“Yep. We’ve had this conversation before, Darling.” All talk died down after that, Lockwood occasionally murmuring a word or two to help Y/n with her crossword, and the members of the agency were at peace. At some point Lockwood excused himself to the toilet, and when he came back around five minutes later (they’d all heard the toilet flush) there was something slightly off about him. He still had the top hat on, but something was bugging Lucy. 
The same process repeated, Lucy looking up at him every now and then to try and figure out what was different and Y/n doing the same (the two girls had shared multiple confused looks), and then Lockwood excused himself to get a plate of biscuits. When he came back, Lucy once again felt something was off. The biscuits were passed around, crossword helped, top hat still in place, then Lockwood came up with another reason to leave the room. 
It was the fourth time he returned that Y/n appeared to realise what was happening. “Ohh, I see what you’re doing, Anthony Lockwood.”
“Do you?” he asked, innocent as a child. “I’ve noticed the photographs - don’t think I haven’t.”
“Oh, have fun finding them all. Why do you have multiple sizes of the same top hat?”
Lockwood shrugged. “Disguises. Why did you have so many photos of the head of the Fittes company?”
“Does it matter? You’ll be finding them for weeks.”
They finished their friendly bickering in hushed tones, Y/n standing up to let Lockwood sit down and balance her on his lap, and Lucy smiled softly at them. 
After wrangling the whole story of what had happened over the Christmas holidays out of the two of them, Lucy had spent roughly the last two and a half months teasing the living daylights out of the couple for their antics, but she couldn’t deny how cute they were together. 
She just hoped that the current poking in the sides they were doing didn’t turn into decking each other instead. 
Cut scene (alternative prank):
Now she was sat in her room in the attic, one leg hanging off the edge with the other folded underneath while she drew in her sketchbook. The creaking of the steps up to her floor alerted her to someone’s presence, and after a few seconds Lockwood’s head appeared, followed by his body. “Ah, Luce, thought I’d find you here.” He had something in his hand, shiny in a crinkly plastic bag. “I need your help to-” he broke off, mid-movement while he peered at one of the pictures on Lucy’s bedside table. It was of the five of them, Lockwood, George, Holly, Y/n, and herself, except in the place of Skull sat on the sideboard was Penelope Fittes’ face. “Oh for fuck’s sake. Did she put some of these up here, too?” Lucy struggled not to smile.
“Must have done it when I was in the kitchen earlier.” That was a lie, Lucy had done it herself. “What did you need me for?”
“Ah!” He lifted the plastic bag and grinned. “Doubloons. Not real ones, obviously, I bought them from a cheap party shop down the road. I’m going to hide them around the house.”

Can’t Help Falling in Love | A. Walter
Tumblr media
+ Alex Walter x OC
+ Summary: Life has been difficult for sisters Jackie and Eden Howard. Obviously regular teenage girl problems, such as boys, school, and friends. Except tragedy that ensues, the death of their parents and older sister. They'll have to navigate a life without their family, just throw in love, the countryside, and a whole lot of boys in one roof.
+ Authors Note: Hey guys I really hope you enjoy this first chapter, I was really inspired after seeing Ashby play Alex and absolutely fell in love 🤍
Tumblr media
 Chapter 0.0 | Two Time Zones Apart
The sound of LA traffic was not great, but it was definitely quieter than the sound of the streets of New York. It's only been 6 Months since I moved to LA semi-permanently. I still got homesick often but there was no place like California. Ever since the transition from being a model to a singer it was a choice I had to make, with mom and dads approval of course, even if it meant seeing Lucy and Jackie less.
"Oh Gosh. What time is it?" I grumbled as I rubbed my eyes. I looked towards my bedside table and picked up my phone. "10:30 AM" I removed the bed covers and stretched my arms over my head. The smell of my room always gave me some comfort in the mornings. I headed to the restroom and pulled my hair into a bun and turned the faucet on. I started washing my teeth when I heard my phone ringing. I ran back to my room to pick up my phone that was lying on the bed. A video call from Jackie. I quickly pick up the phone as I walk back to the bathroom.
"Juswt whun sewkand-" I attempted to say with the tooth brush still in my mouth. Jackie let out a quick laugh, "take your time Eid." I put my finger up, just one moment, and place the phone in front of the faucet handles, holding it up. I quickly rinse out the toothpaste and splashed my face with water to ensure I would fully wake myself up.
"Hi Jacks! How's it going?" I waved and picked up my phone.
"EDEN! It's going so well! I can't wait for you and Lucy to come home today! I missed you guys so much." Jackie smiled softly.
"Oh my, we haven't been away from you that longgggg" I teased as i sat down on my Vanity. I panned my phone to the stack of luggage by my window.
"Okay I know, BUT, I just missed you guys so much." She sighed. "It's been a month since I've seen you and Lucy. I'm just so excited for you to see my excellent work tonight."
"I know Jacks, My flight is at 2 so I'll probably be there by 7-ish." I start applying my makeup and look away from my phone. " and plus Lucy will be there sooner than me, so you'll get her while you wait for meeee."
She laughs, "Right, what would I do without your wisdom." She stays quiet for a couple of seconds, "How's your new song going?"
I wince, "It's going..." She looks at me confused. "I've just been lacking in inspiration lately. I'm hoping going home will help with that."
"I'm sure you'll get a spark of inspiration once you spend some good old fashioned time at the ballet with me."
"Thanks Jackie, I've missed you guys so much. I can't wait to get there tonight."
I stop to think. "Dinner at The Penrose?"
I look at her smile, "of course Eden! That's our spot."
"All right deal" I look at the time, 11:30AM, "All right sis, I have to head to the airport, see you soon!" I reach over to hang up, "wait! Remember mom and dad will pick you up later tonight so we can all go to dinner together."
"Okay, perfect! Bye Jacks, love you!"
"Bye Eids!" I hung up.
I start getting up and shutting the curtains. It might be a while until I'm back but I'd rather keep my room clean.
Ding Dong.
I head over to the front door that smells strongly of oak. Walking past the pictures I have hanging of Mom, Dad, Lucy, Jackie and I. I open the door and smile as I see the face of my amazing Manager, Lizzie. "Liz! Come to say goodbye to your favorite client." I giggled as she stepped in. "Excuse me! Not just my client, more like my favorite friend!" I hug her and drag her to my room.
"Oh gosh, look at all this baggage..." she exclaims standing in front of my suitcases. She reaches over and picks one up. "Alright Eden! Let's get moving and load these into the car, your driver is waiting."
I look over to her and smile, "You got it boss!" I salute. It was an easy load up and we wasted no time getting in the car. "Are you excited to see your family again?" Lizzie asked. "Yeah I'm a bit nervous though. I haven't seen them in a couple of months, I feel like I've missed out on a lot." It was hard being apart from them and not being able to see them as often as I used to.
Lizzie looks at me and smiles softly, her polished nails and her soft hands reach over to mine. She grabs them and turns to me. "E, you need this. You've been homesick for a while and I think this trip will help you with the new song." I lean my head back against the headrest and turn my face to look out of the window. "I know Liz." I turn back towards her. "Thank you for helping me today. It means a lot. I'll miss you lots."
She just smiles at me and I start feeling tired, car rides always seem to wear me out. I take one last look at the highway we're on and slowly close my eyes. I let sleep take over me and an oddly weird feeling at the pit of my stomach. I hear Liz whisper, "I'll wake you when we get there."

Eat It Up PJM
Synopsis - You willingly agree to help watch over your friend's house while she's gone (Part 4 of the Monster Series.)
Pairing - Yandere! Dark! Alien! Park Jimin x AFAB! Reader
Featuring - Rina Sawayama
Tags and Warnings - Death, Stalking, Non-Con touching but nothing explicit he's just touching her
Authors Note - This is the first challenge I've done where I'm actually gonna complete it lol
“Hey, how would you like to make some extra bucks.” You stood in your kitchen, phone on speaker. Your friend, Rina called you, and being your literal best friend of course you'd hear her out.
“Hmm? What's up?”
“I have to out on a trip, fashion week in Paris actually. And I kind of need someone to watch my house.” Rina states, being heard to take a bite of some chips. “And I need you here by tomorrow. Late notice I know.”
You let out a sigh. “Uhhh I don't know, I'd have to pack tonight and then move some money around.” You poured yourself a bowl of cereal. Rina could be hear giggling on the other end.
“Just bring yourself and some clothes. You can eat my food and if you run out they'll be some cash to get more. Listen I'm just desperate, I really need someone to stay for a few weeks.” Your friend pleaded. You chuckle before speaking.
“Okay Okay! I'll come tomorrow morning.” You say taking a bite of the fruit loops you poured for yourself. “What time you need me.”
“6.”
“I'll be there.”
🛸
You had a duffle bag full of clothes as you got dropped off in front of the desolate white home. Rina was pretty well off, her home being two story with a nice balcony. You rung the door bell, Rina opening the door quickly. “I told you I'd be here.”
“Your here early, literally it's 5:30.” She said laughing. She pulled you in for a hug and allowed you to walk in. The house was very uncharacteristically quiet. She usually has music playing for ambiance or a television on. But there was nothing.
But you let it go for now.
“Okay, so you can sleep in my room. And on my bed is around 1000 bucks.” Your eyes widen as you follow her up the stairs.
“God, how much money do you think I spend!” You say laughing as she opened the door. Her bed was huge and comfortable.
“I want you to ball out girl!” She says before lowering her voice and sitting down on the bed. “You know I'll miss you …”
“I'll still be here, besides you're coming back.” You say laughing. Rina looks at you and giving you a small smile. She nods her head before getting up with a shallow sigh. She quickly came up to you hugging you tight, which you reciprocate hugging her back. You followed her back downstairs as she got in her car and left without another word.
Well it's not like you had anything else better to do.
Might as well clean up and unpack.
🛸
You'd been in the house for two days and things were off. The general ambiance wasn't a comfort more so a burden.
Rina didn't return any of your calls.
But you let it pass.
You played Lauryn Hill, as you got ready for bed. You brushed your teeth, and slipped on your night gown. You climbed into bed and pulled the soft blankets. Often noises echoed in the empty home but it was something you could let go.
However you couldn't let this one go.
The floorboard next to the bed creaked.
The sound made your head turn. But nothing was there. So you tried to fall back asleep, turning away from the noise. But then the bed dips.
It's faint but there.
“The way your chest rises when you sleep… it's beautiful.”
The voice is airy, and you can feel a hand peel back the blankets. You try to bite your lip to keep quiet but find it harder and harder. The hand then touches your shoulder, and it's texture is other worldly. It's almost too smooth. And it begins to rub circles on your shoulder, as it that would calm you. “Your heart rate is rising, I think we both know that I'm here. And we both know your awake.”
You stay silent, tears beginning to pour down your face silently as you sniffle.
“Are you scared, wondering how I got in here?” The man snickers as he runs his hand down your back. They trained along your spine, making you shiver and tremble.
“I ask that like your going to respond. How stupid of me, I'm sorry I'm still picking up on humans finicky behavior.” The voice says adding a bit of an laugh towards the end. The laughing stops and finally with a sigh the hand is removed and the thing gets up. “You'll see me soon, don't worry.”
Then it leaves.
Almost as soon as it leaves you sit up and began to pant. You couldn't take it anymore.
🛸
Finally the next day you have enough of trying to call Rina. You're about to leave and just say fuck it. No money is worth what you experienced.
Almost as if you summoned her Rina called. You pick up the phone and she quickly interjects. “Hey where you going?” She says almost too causally.
“How do you know I'm leaving?” You almost snap at her.
“I'm… watching you through my cameras.” She says after almost seeking and just landing on a explanation.
“I'm fucking leaving, you've been ignoring me and someone broke in last night. They touched me and everything.” You said over the phone continuing to stuff your bag with your things. Rina gasped over the phone. You couldn't tell if it was to mock you or not.
“But you can't go, someone, most importantly you need to watch over the house. Are you telling me your quitting when things get hard?” Rina goads you.
“That's different than this. Why can't you seem to understand. Someone. Touched me. And spoke to me, something is in this house.” You spoke into the phone grabbing your packed bag. Rina let out a quiet gasp and then a choke. She began to cry on the phone.
“Please, don't go. I need you… Please you don't understand.”
“Rina, what don't I understand? Just tell me what is up.”
“Listen… I screwed up. I-” You can were listening to Rina, but she became interrupted by a loud splattering on the other side of the phone.
“R-Rina?” You ask as the signal cuts out. You take that as a sign to leave. You grab your bag and run for the front but it refuses to budge. “Fuck!” You tell trying to ram it open but you collapse. You fall to the ground and begin to cry and sob.
“Broken aren't we?”
You look up at the voice and out a shakey gasp. It's a man, or it mimics one. But his skin tone is noticably pink and smooth. His eyes are pools of black.
“W-What even are you…” You ask looking at him.
“I'm something you can barely understand, but that's okay. All that matters is that your here. Here with me.” The man sits down and places his hands on the side of your face. He slowly makes you look at him, his eyes sparkling. “You're special, your going to change my life.”
“W-What are you even talking about…” You say looking at him. His skin is inhumanely smooth, his thumbs brushing against your chin. He looked you up and down and smiled, and his smile grows as he laughs. “What's so funny.”
“Your my new mate. You're going to save my people, my planet!” He said looking at you and putting his hands down.
“N-No. Fuck no.”
“Oh you just don't know. Rina lured you here, her house. This house is a trap. Just so you can get with me. But don't worry about that. She's dead.” He said laughing, rubbing your shoulders fondly. You stared at him, in shock. All the information he unloaded on you and just continued to unload on you broke you.
Looking at everywhere but what's in front of you, your mind was a mess. But the man seemingly realized that and just snickered. He then took out a device from the baggy clothes he wore, It was metallic and he put it to the side of your head.
“I don't want you scared of me out entire relationship, so I just have to do some reprogramming…” The device then turned out and you could feel a needle drag across your skin, almost breaking it. “This won't hurt a bit.”

Rainbow Tape 18+
Julien Baker/Reader
You watched the boys from side stage as they were finishing Salt in the Wound, Julien had completely unbuttoned her vest and was wearing rainbow boob tape. To say you were captivated was an understatement, Julien and you had been together for almost 2 years now and she still had you so completely enthralled and in love you couldn't stand it some days. This was one of the first shows of the tour that you were able to fly out and see her, thanks to Lucy and phoebe for planning it all out to surprise Julien.
The song ended and Phoebe carried Julien off stage Lucy following closely behind. You watched as phoebe carried Julien over to where you were leaning against some of the equipment.
"Oh shit, JB is getting laid tonight!" Phoebe yelled as she set Julien down in front of you, Julien's face turning even more pink.
"What are you talking about- oh hey punk." Julien smiled turning to you for the first time.
"Hi baby." You smiled back tugging on her open vest, and looking into her eyes shyly. Julien's face flushed even more, as she clearly got the message that she was indeed getting laid tonight.
"Hi Y/n." Lucy smiled, having also seen the way you were looking at Julien.
"Hey Luce." you said pulling Julien closer by her vest, she tumbled clumsily into you placing a kiss to your neck where she could reach.
"Well we were going to go out and get some food but it seems like your craving something else..." Phoebe laughed, as Julien blindly reached back to try and hit her, before burying her face into your chest.
"Okay well bye y'all, we're leaving now, i love you!" Julien said, finally pulling away from you and kissing both Phoebe and Lucy. She grabbed you by your belt loop and started tugging you into her and also in the direction of the stage door. Lucy and Phoebe's laughter trailing behind.
The ride to the hotel was relatively quiet with julien burying her face into your neck. She was mumbling how much she missed you in between the sloppy sweaty kisses she was pressing there, god you love her so much.
"I can't believe phoebe was able to keep this a secret, she's so bad at it." Julien said, pulling back to look at you before pulling you to her and into a rough kiss. It was all teeth and tongue, and everything you had been missing since tour started.
The driver cleared his throat signaling that you had arrived at the hotel. Julien sighed, biting down on your lower lip as she pulled away from you. Your stomach filling with heat from the passionate kiss and her dark eyes.
"Room 566, fifth floor," She leaned back to whisper in your ear, "I want you naked, and on the bed waiting for me." She pulled back with a smirk, before innocently kissing your cheek and opening the door for you. You could feel how flushed your face was, you felt like a teenager with how turned on you were from just her words alone as you made your way to the hotel entrance.
"Princess? You might need a key." Julien called leaning against the car as the driver was getting her bags out of it. You walked back to her, taking the key she was holding between two tattooed fingers. Her grip on the card tightened tugging you forward.
"Naked." Julien reminded, winking at you and releasing the card into your grip, before turning back to the driver and talking with him.
You took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in your throat, before turning and walking back to the hotel entrance, thanking god for whatever you did that somehow got you to this point in life.
The elevator ride was extremely awkward, being as hot and bothered as you were with 3 older strangers riding with you. You practically ran to the room, wondering if you had enough time to take a quick shower before Julien made it up.
You decided to chance it, after all you had been traveling for most of the day, planning on riding the boys for the next week of the US tour.
Right as you were finally clean and dried off, and practically hurling yourself onto the hotel bed the door unlocked.
Julien came around the corner carrying her two bags and dropping them at the foot of the bed. She stood there for a minute just taking you in, her gaze heavy with lust, her bottom lip between her teeth. You felt the heat in your stomach spread to between your legs, as you slowly parted them for her.
"oh Fuuuck, baby." Julien groaned, and crawled up the bed over your body. She was still fully clothed, she pressed her slack covered thigh between your legs. Your eyes rolled back as you arched up into her, tangling your hands in her hair.
"Jay... Baby... Uhh" You moaned pressing yourself down harder onto her thigh, throwing your head back into the pillows beneath you. Her calloused hands traveled up your torso on stopping to play with your hard nipples, and the other going higher to wrap around your neck. She squeezed lightly, causing another whine to fall from your open mouth.
"Mmhmm you're so fucking wet, Princess, I can feel it dripping down my thigh." Julien said tracing her finger around your open mouth, before dipping her fingers in. You instantly started to suck on her long fingers, moaning around them, because you know how that turns her on.
"You're so perfect." She said, pulling her fingers from your mouth and kissing you deeply. Her hand went between your bodies as she circled your clit in delicate circles causing you to cry out her name. She gathered some of your slick on her fingers and slowly pushed a single digit into your opening. She pumped it a few times before adding another finger.
"Julien, Fuck, Baby I can't last much longer." You whined into her mouth, tears pooling in your eyes from how intense the pleasure was. She pulled away from the kiss and started to kiss and suck her way down your body, pulling even whinier moans from you. She sucked one of your nipples into her mouth letting her tongue harden it, nibbling on it just a little before moving to your other breast.
"Jay, Please!" You whimper now. She pulls away from your nipple kissing the reddened skin softly.
"You're being so good for me, Princess, so fucking good for me." She says, kissing closer and closer to where you need her most.
"Fuck, you missed me that badly huh?" she smiles up at you showing all of her teeth in that goofy smile you love so much. She bites softly of your thigh, licking the skin where your wetness has spread. She looks up at you, her gaze even more intense. Slowly she spreads your thighs and gets herself situated in the way she's told you countless times that she loves. One leg bent at the knee and the other draped over her shoulder.
Julien starts to spread your folds with her long callused tattooed fingers and brings her tongue down to play with your clit , before sucking it into her mouth. You start to buck your hips up into her mouth before she moves one hand to your hip to hold you in place.
She moves her fingers back to your entrance slowly fucking her fingers into you, while giving your clit a long harsh suck that has you coming almost instantly. Julien loves to be between your thighs when you come it's almost an unspoken rule when you're together.
She sucks and thrusts you through your orgasm, until you can't take it anymore and you're pulling her up to kiss her hard on the lips. You flip her onto her back so that you can straddle her small waist, finally discarding the vest she wore on stage that night. Next you're attacking her belt buckle trying to free her of the now stained slacks, pulling them and the boxers she was wearing down her muscular legs. After discarding the incredibly offensive clothing, you kiss your way up her body stoping briefly to bite her thigh. You could never resist how good they looked especially with her like this underneath you.
"You're such a punk!" Julien laughs, pulling you up to kiss her again.
"You know how much i love your thighs, i can't be held responsible for what happens when you let them get so close to my mouth." You say seriously when you pull away from her. She smiles up at you, face flushed, and all you can think is how fucking beautiful she is. You kiss her again trailing your hands down to her chest, realizing she still has the rainbow boob tape on you start to gently pull it off. Julien whines quietly as you take each newly uncovered nipple, and rub them between two fingers before putting one of them in your mouth. You swirl your tongue around one, before moving to the other and copying the action.
"Fuck, Princess.." Julien moans, you release her nipple with a satisfying pop and start kissing and sucking your way down her body. Stopping on your way to kiss and bite every tattoo on the way and paying special attention to her hip bones.
"Baby, please." Julien whines from above you, running her fingers through your hair and raising her hips.
You pull both of her legs over your shoulders, pulling her body as close to your mouth as you can. You run your tongue through her slick covered folds, savoring the taste and how she pants deliciously above you. You explore her, running your tongue from her clit to her entrance taking your time.
"No teasing, Y/n" Julien almost whimpers. You take her clit in your mouth and start sucking and you let one of your fingers gather her wetness before pushing it into her.
"Fu-ck, uh." Julien gasps, bucking her hips into your face. You love watching her lose control like this it's on of the few times, besides when she's on stage that she lets herself. You add another finger, keeping the same pace with your tongue on her clit. You can feel her body start to tense, muscular legs wrapping tighter around your head.
"Mmmm Y/n.... Baby." She cries out, her body going completely rigid before relaxing completely. You take your time cleaning her up with your mouth, before carefully untangling yourself from her and going to get a washcloth from the bathroom.
Once both of you are cleaned up and laying in the bed pressed tightly against one another, can you let yourself fully appreciate how lucky you are. Julien's face is pressed tightly into your neck, but you know that no matter what when you wake up in the morning she'll have migrated down to laying on your chest situated perfectly between your breasts. You laugh a little thinking about it, causing julien to pull back from your neck to look at your questioningly.
"Are you laughing at me?" she asks in a tired voice, before going back to almost suffocating herself in your neck.
"Just thinking of how you'll fall asleep like this and end you with your head between my boobs when you wake up." You say softly, running your hand through her hair. You can feel her smile into your neck, before mumbling "I would let myself suffocate between your boobs, and die happy."
You laugh, attempting to kiss her head from the awkward angle she's at before relaxing into the pillows and tangling your legs together.
"I love you, Jay." You whisper into the dark, and you feel more than hear her say "I love you too, so much." before she places another kiss to your neck and falls asleep.
- Y'all pls don't judge me too hard okay i had to get it off my chest.

One for George and y/n: Easter egg hunting at the Burrow with all the Weasleys (George's siblings and their children)
Such a cute idea! 🖤
Warnings: Minor swearing, mentions of pregnancy, cute Weasley fun and fluff.
Words: 1.3k
Tumblr media
Easter at the Burrow was always one of the things you looked forward to the most, especially now you had children of your own with George.
Ever since the first grandchild had arrived, Molly and Arthur had started a wonderful tradition of a magical Easter egg hunt on the land surrounding the house.
Your daughters were 5 and 3, both now at the age that they took the egg hunt very seriously, especially as they were essentially competing against their cousins. George had given them tips before hand, because of course he had, and you'd arrived at the Burrow with two very excited children. And a very excited husband, who had been to set up the race with Arthur earlier that morning, no doubt putting his own mischievous twist on the egg hunt.
The wonderful thing about Molly and Arthur having seven children was that as you all grew up, the number of family members inevitably doubled and then tripled, at least. Siblings, spouses, children, cousins; everyone packed in to the space you'd always loved, the heart of the family- the Burrow.
You were immediately greeted by most of the Weasley siblings and their partners, the kids all chasing each other and giggling in glee with squeals of delight echoing through the open fields. Bill and Fleur, Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny, all of them stood around tables of food and drink that you knew Molly would have agonised over all morning. You couldn't see Percy or Audrey but you could see little Molly and Lucy running around with Victoire, Rose and Lily and so assumed that they were around somewhere. It was always funny to see the entire family gathered together, the sea of Red hair only broken up by a few blonde and brunette children running around.
"Rory! Poppy!" Dominique squeals in excitement, spotting your daughters and immediately falling into an excited conversation that was almost too high for adults to hear, their excited squeals and giggles so loud it almost made you wince. She pauses briefly to flash you a smile, missing her two front teeth. "Hi aunt y/n, hi unky George! Come on, Granny's got toffee!"
Now child free, George smiles at you as he takes your hand and leads you down the path towards the Burrow, greeting his family with warmth. You mingle through the crowd until you make your way inside, offering Molly some help in the kitchen.
"Oh y/n dear, you just get prettier!" She says with a wide and motherly smile, approaching you with hands outstretched as she pulls you in for a tight hug. She's all dressed up in her most vibrant colours, a glittery beret clip in her hair with the signature apron tied around her waist.
"Right, almost time!" Molly says with delight as she steps outside, giving Arthur a little nod who claps his hands together and smiles, walking off towards the back lawn.
You shoot George a little smile as you look over at your daughters, huddled together with the other cousins almost bouncing with excitement. Molly had made a ridiculous number of little eggs for the children, some with chocolate, marshmallow, toffee, everything that would keep your girls up way past their bedtime if they ate too much.
"Right Weasleys," Arthur says, taking lead of the gaggle of excitable children. "Two rules only. Number 1, share and be mindful of your cousins, we want everyone to have fun. Number 2, grab as much as you can! Ready... set.... Go!"
Just as Arthur said the words, a little firework shot up into the sky which transformed into the shape of a bunny in the sky, the words 'this way' scrawled out next to it as it moved towards the start line that Arthur had made. Your mouth opened in disbelief and turned towards your husband who was putting his wand back in his pocket with a mischievous grin. He turned to you and gave you a little wink, little butterflies erupting in your tummy at the look even after all these years.
With a resounding squeal of excitement, the children ran off, following the rabbit, each of them clutching their little baskets ready to swoop on the eggs that had been meticulously placed by their grandad. You watched and laughed as they giggled, all of them picking up little eggs and slinging them into their baskets.
Some were suspended in the air by magic, others tucked into trees and the ground as normal. George had jinxed the tree near the border to rain eggs when the kids ran under it. You laughed as you watched Hugo and Albus scream in sheer delight when they stepped under the tree and hundreds of little eggs rained down on them, dropping into their baskets. They immediately called the girls over to look at what had just happened, all fo the adults watching beginning to laugh when the girls also squealed out in delight as the eggs rained down on them.
"Y/n, can you please watch Louis whilst I go to the loo?" Fleur said from beside you, her French accept as strong at ever, holding out baby Louis, his little blanket covered body making him look like a beautiful little bundle.
"Of course I can," you say with a smile, readily accepting your youngest nephew into your arms, he was crying a little, whimpering and trying to break free from the blanket. Fleur thanked you profusely as she handed over her youngest before walking quickly back to the house.
"Ssssh, it's okay sweetheart, your mummy will be back soon," you coo, assuring little Louis as you rocked him in your arms. He was beautiful, a little patch of striking blonde hair beginning to grow on his head. You adjusted his blankets just slightly to keep his fingers in and swayed with him in your arms as you watched your daughters giggling from higher up the field. The enchanted bunny firework had started dancing around the kids, dodging them and attempting to steal their eggs making them all giggle.
When you looked down at Louis, he was asleep, his eyes closed and looking the definition of comfy, all snuggled in his warm and soft blanket.
"I'll never get over how much that suits you," you hear your husband say, appearing behind you, looking down at the baby in your arms.
"Oh yeah?" You smile, looking up at him as his arm slips onto your shoulder, his lips descending upon your hair to press a gentle kiss just above your ear.
"I think it's your best look," he pauses, "though I do like you pregnant too."
"Well... I'd say you're in luck Mr Weasley," you say with a glint in your eye, watching as his eyes light up even more than the kids collecting their chocolate once he realises what you were telling him.
"What do you think? I think a little boy would be a nice addition," you say, looking down at the sleeping little boy in your arms, imagining one of your own.
"I'll have a word with the Easter bunny," George says with a smirk, leaning down to capture your lips in a sweet kiss, both of you sharing a little moment.
"No way Hermione," you hear from the side, Ron's dead set voice drawing your attention away from George.
"Oh come on Ron!" Hermione says, getting frustrated with him. "For Hugo and Rose."
"You're not transfiguring me into a bloody rabbit!"

My Captains Sister-Adam Fantilli
Chapter Three
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Lucy continues to see Adam causing a rift between her and Nolan and Nolan and Adam.
Warnings: controlling behavior, toxic behaviors, Nolan being overprotective again, cussing
BEEP BEEP 
Lucy groaned as she rolled out of bed to shut off her annoyingly loud alarm, taking a sip of her water from the night before and checking her phone. 
*Knock Knock* 
Lucy rolls her eyes “What?”. Nolan opens the door fully dressed and sees his little sister still in bed. 
“Hurry up and get ready. I’m walking you to class.” Nolan orders 
"I'm on a college campus, Nolan. I think I can handle it," Lucy said, rolling her eyes.
“Well I gave you the simple instruction to stay away from Adam and clearly that was like rocket science for you! So I figured we go back to the basics” Nolan told her with a mix of anger and annoyance in his voice 
Lucy picks up a pillow from her bed and throws it towards her brother “Get Out!” Nolan puts his hands up defensively backing out of the room. Lucy walks towards her door before slamming it shut. 
It was still somewhat early, only a little past ten. Lucy had two classes back to back; economics and English and as much as she hates the two subjects with a passion she would enjoy the break from Nolan. 
Lucy rummaged through her closet and picked out a comfortable pair of light washed jeans, a white crop top and a green zip up hoodie. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and applied a minimal amount of makeup to achieve a natural glow.
She slipped on her white sneakers before grabbing her backpack and phone heading towards the kitchen, where she found Nolan sitting at the counter with a granola bar. 
“I’m ready, happy?” Lucy rolled her eyes for what felt like the thousandth time today, filling up her water bottle. A grin appeared on Nolans face “I’m ecstatic, let's get going” 
They walked to Lucy’s class in silence. Both siblings were clearly annoyed at one another. When they arrived at the steps of her building, Nolan turned to her “I’ll meet you back here after your classes, don’t do anything stupid” he warns
Again Lucy rolls her eyes but promises. Nolan nods and watches as Lucy enters the building before heading off in his own direction. 
Lucy’s phone started to ring as soon as she settled into her seat. It was Adam, asking if she was busy. Butterflies started forming in Lucy’s stomach. Missing one day of class wouldn’t kill her. She convinced herself before she grabbed her back and hurried out of the classroom. 
Lucy’s classes were each an hour and a half, meaning she had roughly three hours to hang out with Adam before she had to meet Nolan. 
They spent the next few hours exploring a few local shops close to campus and grabbing a quick bite to eat. Lucy started to feel a sense of freedom and happiness she hadn’t felt in a long time. 
With only ten minutes left to spare they made their way back to the entrance of Adam’s dorm building. 
“I wish you didn’t have to go” Adam tells her wrapping his arms around her waist
“Trust me I would much rather spend time with you then go back to the hellhole I call home” Lucy told him placing a kiss on his lips “But I can’t risk getting in trouble again” 
Adam sighs, kissing her one more time before letting go. 
As Lucy walked away, she glanced back at Adam one last time before turning the corner. She picked up her pace realizing she was running late.She found the back entrance of the building and made her way to the front, finding Nolan waiting impatiently. 
“Where have you been?” He asked as she approached him “Sorry I had to talk to my teacher about the homework” Lucy said, out of breath. 
Nolan had a skeptical expression on his face but shook it off. “Alright I have practice tonight, I made grilled chicken and some pasta for dinner. Make sure you get all your homework done” Nolan tells her as they walk home. 
Lucy nods and tells him she will. 
Lucy woke up to another day of classes, but the thought of spending the day with Adam was too exciting to resist. She made the impulsive decision to skip class and meet Adam at a nearby park instead.
As she walked towards him, she felt a sense of freedom and excitement. Adam was sitting on a bench, scrolling through his phone, but as soon as he saw her, he stood up and pulled her into a kiss.
"Good morning, beautiful," he said, holding her hand.
Lucy felt herself blushing and smiled at him. They spent the day exploring the park and talking about their families and interests, feeling completely at ease with each other. Even though they only had a few hours together Lucy was more than grateful to have a chance to see him. 
A few days had passed since Lucy began skipping her classes to spend time with Adam. While she didn’t regret the time they got to see each other it had begun to affect her school work. 
Meanwhile, the tension between Nolan and Adam had continued to build for some time, but it finally reached a boiling point during practice. They were both playing on the same line and kept getting in each other's way, leading to missed opportunities and frustration.
"Get out of my way, Fantilli," Nolan growled.
"Why don't you try passing the puck, Moyle," Adam shot back.
The two began arguing, their voices getting louder and louder until Coach Naurato blew his whistle. "That's enough, boys! Five laps each."
Adam and Nolan glared at each other as they skated off, neither wanting to break eye contact. They skated around the rink, their breaths becoming heavy as the laps continued. The other players were watching them with curiosity, wondering what the argument was about.
Once they finished their laps, Coach Naurato sent them to the locker room for the remainder of practice. The pair changed out of their gear in silence, sending glares to one another when Nolan’s phone began to ring. It was his parents. 
Nolan quickly answers the phone holding it up to his ear. Nolan can tell by the tone of their voice they are upset about something. "Lucy's grades are dropping. We think she's been skipping class," they said.
Nolan was furious.
Their parents had always held education to the highest standard mainly because they were not given the same opportunities to be able to attend good universities or study abroad, they worked incredibly hard to be able to give Nolan and Lucy those opportunities and encourage their kids to take advantage of them. 
Nolan assumed Adam had some part in this but before he had a chance to confront him, the rest of their team began piling into the locker room. 
Nolan keeps his cool when Coach Naurato pulls the two of them into the hallway.
 Coach Naurato informs them that they would be staying late to do some hockey chores as punishment for their behavior during practice. They were instructed to clean the locker room, wipe down all the surfaces and refill the water jugs. 
Both boys sigh neither one really thrilled to be doing chores. 
Finally after what felt like multiple hours Nolan and Adam were dismissed by their coach. The two gather their things and head in their separate directions.
Back in their dorm room Luca sat, staring blankly at his laptop screen, when Adam walked in and practically collapsed on his respective bed. "Can I ask you something?" Luca said, breaking the silence.
Adam looked up. "Yeah, sure."
"Is Lucy really worth all of these problems? I mean, you and Nolan are fighting so much, everyone sees it, you have to sneak around to see her, she’s messing up her relationship with her brother?"
Adam sighed. "I don't know, Luca. I really don't. But I can't help how I feel about her."
Luca pushed him. "Come on, man. You know she's not worth all of this drama. You're risking a lot for her."
Adam felt his anger rising. "Don't tell me how to feel, Luca. You don't know anything about what's going on between Lucy and me."
Luca held up his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I just want what's best for you."
Adam took a deep breath and apologized for yelling. "I know you do. And I appreciate it. But I just can't help how I feel. I think she loves me, Luca."
Luca sighed and put a hand on Adam's shoulder. "Then I guess it is worth it. Just be careful, okay? I don't want to see you get hurt."
Adam nodded, grateful for his brother's support. They sat in silence for a few minutes, lost in their own thoughts, before Adam clears his throat and looks at Luca who gives him a questioning look “Um, just thanks man” Adam says 
Luca stands up from his desk and makes his way over to Adam wrapping an arm around him and giving him a hug “Anytime buddy” 
Meanwhile Nolan had arrived home to find Lucy asleep on the couch, he sighed knowing their discussion would have to be postponed.

Previous part <-
Tumblr media
Chets shaking like a leaf the whole way you’re sneaking up to the vault entrance, muttering about how bad of an idea this is while Norm seems to be ok and taking it head on. You and Lucy are dressed in your jumpsuits backpacks filled with supplies, bip boys ready. You’re trying not to show how scared you are as you stand in front of the large entrance. Chet’s trying to beg Lucy not to go with a ‘I still love you’ and sad crying. You glance to Norm who sighs slightly and reluctantly comes over to hug you. You smile softly he wasn’t one for affection but just like Lucy you were his sister and he loved you. Not like Chet did. After Lucy managed to wrangle Chet off she hugged Norm goodbye while you waved to Chet who waved back while wiping his eyes. You sigh and go to across the metal bridge while Chet opens the door. It’s loud, alarms go off and you silently curse. As the doors open though heat hits you, a bright light hits you and the smell of dust attacks your nose. You stare after you shield your eyes and they adjust. You stare at a wasteland of dessert and broken rubble.
“Come on” Lucy has some grown confidence as she takes your hands and you both step out into the blistering heat. It takes you a moment to catch your breath as you look at the world for the first time.
It’s hot, scorching, the air is humid and hard to breathe in. The sand is dry under your boots and the sound of the vault door closing feels like you’ve killed yourself. You glance back to the vault door the numbers 33 large in the middle.
“Okey dokey” Lucy says and begins walking. You gulp a little but follow who knows what’s going to happen out here.
By night the temperature drops to freezing, you’re chattering your teeth as Lucy keeps the small fire going. You suddenly hear a crunch, screech and growl making you bolt upright and straight to Lucy as you see something attack and kill some giant bug.
“Shouldn’t be out here with that fire, it’s dangerous” you see a man, old now his features are lit by the fire, he had glasses and a fancy coat on.
“Greetings also” he smiles and sits down by the fire.
“Four” he calls and the creature now also in the fire goes to his side. You stare at the dog, alive and unmutated. You watch as it hangs its tongue out, ears perk eyes on you before standing up and going to you.
“Oh” you jolt as the dog whines and rests its head on your crouched knees.
“She likes you” the old man chuckles and it reminds you of your father’s.
“Oh I- well hello” you sit on the ground and carefully pat her head delighted at the surprisingly softness of her fur.
“Four?” You ask and she perks her head up a smile appearing on your face as you pet her some more.
“I’m Dr Siggi Wilzig” he smiles.
“Lucy and this is Y/n” Lucy smiles politely giving a wave.
“You two seem to smart to be out here, to smart to make a fire out here also” he comments and you frown a little while four whines and lays her head on your thighs
“Where looking for our father” Lucy adds.
“Adoptive” you say as the Dr looks to you curiously and then nods.
“Well best head to Filly first” he says casually before he stands and whistles. The dog leaves as does he in a quick instant and you frown missing the dog’s warmth. You glanced to what it killed and feel your stomach roll and bile fill your throat.
“Oh” you gag and look away.
“Perhaps we should stay in that sort of upright house?” You comment remembering the half a house you saw.
“Good idea” Lucy agrees also glancing at the dead creature with a disgusted face.
Come morn you’re set off again in the scalding heat, your hair is pinned up in a bun while Lucy keeps her traditional pony tail.
“How far?” You ask feeling the drain on your body already.
“Um, about a couple of hours?” She mutters looking to her bip boy, you inwardly groan and sigh but continue on.
“There are other people up here do you think?” She asks after some silence and you shrug.
“I don’t know what to think” you muttered and she nods forcing a smile to her lips.
“It’ll be good, we’ll get some information maybe a place to stay, I’m sure everyone is nice to survive this far” her voice is optimistic and you hope she’s right.
She wasn’t. Filly as the sign said is full of horrid people, muck and dirt covering them, their hair not washed, you can smell the whole town from where you were entering. People gave you nasty looks and you contemplated waiting outside. You didn’t feel safe outside though, these smells, everyone was different, wrong somehow not like any alpha, beta or genetically made omega in a vault. They smelt tainted, drugged, perhaps they were like you. Maybe you smelt weird to them. You got self conscious as people eyed you both, wondering if your repellents were doing their works.
“I don’t, I don’t smell?” You whisper to Lucy as she subtly flares her nose and shakes her head with a smile.
“I don’t know how’d they react to a natural born” you muttered as Lucy smiles politely at more stares.
“It’ll be fine” she says as you finally enter the town itself. You question how they’ve survived, how anyone survived, that’s why there were vaults to repopulate the earth when it was ready. But these people, this community seemed to be well alive.
“Hello, have you seen a woman, dark hair, a gun, and a prisoner?” Lucy asks the woman at the stall and she just ignores her with a turn of her back.
“Okey dokey” she mutters as you follow her into what looks to be a general store.
“Hello there” Lucy chirps at the old woman who turns around and raises an eyebrow.
“Fuck me” she says and you blink with wide eyes.
“Oh um, do you think you could help us please?” Lucy adds.
“Hey Barv come here” she yells and you heard a groan in the back.
“Fuck you want now ya old cow?!” Yells another woman.
“Fuck you then!” They bicker while you blink at their language.
“Um, excuse me sorry to interrupt” Lucy says and the woman looks back to you both.
“We’re looking for someone, Moldaver?” Lucy says and she goes still and silent as someone walks in. It’s the man from last night, he smiles tips his hat in greeting.
“You the Doctor?” The woman behind the counter asks.
“I am” he says nodding.
“Good” she says apparently done with you and Lucy.
“Oh um-“ before Lucy can continue there outside chatting about something while she grabs a few things.
You feel your body tense, like hackles raising, the back of your neck tingles and your whole body shudders as you turn around to look out the door. Lucy has gone outside already to try and get the woman’s attention while your attention is suddenly only on the figure sitting under the shade, hat covering his face, old cowboy get up on his body. You hold your breath as he whistles gun aimed at someone and you panic it’s Lucy. You grab her on instinct and pull her inside as a shot rings out. You scream holding onto Lucy as you check her for shots be she wasn’t the one injured. The doctor outside is.
“Fuck” the old woman says gun in hand but the man in the cowboy outfit has already shot her leg and knocked her down. The dog is by her master growling ready to pounce.
“No! Four!” You yell but it’s too late she’s launched at the man but he’s quick to knock her off. You think he’s harmed her but the dog just growls nearby while his attention is on you. You feel his eyes burning into you and you gulp looking away from the dog. You freeze at what you see, it’s no man, his skin is leathery and scarred, his nose is gone, his skin is sunburnt as can be. You two have a standoff and you keep glancing to his gun pointed at either you, Lucy, the doctor or the older woman. A shot goes off, hits his shoulder. All he does is grunt and smirk looking to who shot him before it’s nothing but shots and cry’s of pain.
“You want to get to Moldaver, here’s your ticket” the older woman says limping in, Lucy dragged the doctor in.
“Come on” you can’t move, to fixated on the way the gunslinger is moving, not bothered by the shots hitting his body. Lucy is helping the doctor and the woman out the back and you’re struggling with life and movement. He’s sitting behind cover and old stall cart eating by the looks of it cherry tomatoes. A man next to him a flesh man with a nose and normal skin colour with a hole in his neck. You see a flash of metal then, and freeze once more at the sight of the large armoured suit stomping in. Suddenly your in flight mode legs wanting to run to whatever being was crouching behind the cart stall till Lucy grabs your hand.
“Come on!” You didn’t hear your name being called but suddenly you’re being dragged out the back, helping the doctor with a suddenly new metal leg and hobbling away.
“What’s wrong, speak to me!” Lucy is speaking to you but your minds back into the nose less man.
“Who was that?” You ask.
“The ghoul?” The doctor says confused.
“Ghoul? What’s a ghoul?” You ask.
“Him!” The doctor replies in pain as you kept tracking on.
“Four where’s four?” He mutters but you lost sight of her in the gunfight and feel your throat close up.
“She’ll be alright” he whispers as you carry on in the wasteland.
“Did you see it?” You ask in the silence and Lucy looks to you.
“The armoured knight” you say and her eyes go wide.
“I didn’t see it fully” she says awe in her voice none the less.
You’d say it’s mid day by the time you stop and collapse by some scrap metal.
“I’m not going to make it” the doctor’s leg well what’s left of it is bleeding over the metal and you gag a bit.
“My head will” he says and you and Lucy snap your heads to him. He pulls out a saw and you stared at wide eyed and in panic.
“I’ve taken the easy death medicine” he pulls out a bottle.
“Only good thing vault-tech ever made, no offence” you take the bottle from him and read its contents. Cyanide.
“You need to cut off my head and take me to Moldaver, here” he grabs Lucy’s arm and taps in coordinates before thrusting the saw in her hands.
“There you will her” he says.
“Wait wait, we-“ Lucy doesn’t finish as the men’s head lulls and his eyes close.
“Sir?” You whisper gently shaking his arm.
“Doctor?” You ask water welling in your eyes.
“Oh” Lucy mutters staring at the saw in her hands.
“No you can’t be serious?!” You yell a little too loudly.
“We have to find our father!” She says and you lean against the hot metal.
“Lucy we can’t saw his head off!” You argue.
“We have no choice!” Her voice breaks a little and you look and walk away.
“Okey dokey” she whispers.

Chapter Five-Nature is No Picnic Up Close (The Sucky Outdoors)
Tumblr media
It was just another ordinary day like any other in Camp Wawanawkwa.
Where all of the campers are at the campsite, listening to Chris talk to them about their next challenge. "Campers, today's challenge will test your outdoor survival skills. I'm not gonna lie to you, some of you may not come back alive. Just joking." he laughed. "All you have to do is spend one night in the woods. Everything you need is at your team's campsite in the forest. You just have to find it." Chris then tosses Lucy and Duncan a map and a compass for each of the two of them. "Oh, and watch out for bears. Lost a couple of interns in preproduction." "I'm sure we'll keep that in mind," Lucy said, handing Gwen the map and compass. "You sure are fearless all of a sudden," Gwen said, looking surprised at Lucy's unamused look on her face. "Well, you could say that this isn't the first time I was in the great outdoors," Lucy explained as she got her BerryPod and earphones out.
CONFESSIONAL: MARY-LOUKRITIA CORLEONE
"I'd just like to thank my friend Angie for this BerryPod and earphones." Lucy said, holding a light purple sticky note that says in violet-purple pen 'Just thought you might need it while at camp-Angie.' "I know I said my family doesn't do technology like everyone else, but there is one thing I miss doing back home, and that is listening to my music in my record player. My favorite music I like to play is classical, all songs from the 1950s to the early 2000s. In other words, from 2000 to 2009. Some 2010 songs I can tolerate, notice I said I only like some of them. I have reasons why. Anyway, I'm still grateful for Angie giving me this. Thanks, Ang. I owe you one." she said, waving at the camera to her friend.
"First team back for breakfast wins invincibility." Chris then blows his airhorn while some of the campers get up from their seats and start walking. "Well, off you go." "Did he say there are bears up in here?" asked Leshawna. "I had a little encounter with a bear once." said Owen. "Let's just say his head looks real nice up on my mantel." "Oh, this one time, I saw a bear eating our garbage. He had old spaghetti noodles hanging from his big, huge teeth, and it looked like blood and guts." Izzy explained. "And possibly some moldy spots along with it," Lucy muttered, sticking her tongue in disgust while Marinette quietly giggled from that. "It was so gross. And we thought he was eating the neighbor's cat Simba. But it turned out he was just lost for a week." "Better the cat alive than dead." Lucy muttered again, with Marinette nodding in agreement.
A little while later, the Screaming Gophers were walking to their campsite. Trent then caught up to Marinette. "Hey, Marinette, wait up. Can I walk with you?" "Sure. I don't mind at all." Marinette said to him. Trent smiled as the two walked together while Lucy, who was listening to her music, was just more focused on walking and listening to her said music. After another little while, while the three were still walking ahead of the other Screaming Gophers, Heather scoffs while rubbing her hand. "She is so the next one to leave," she said. "Who?" Beth asked. "Who do you think? She had her box trap my hand in front of everyone." "Yeah, but you did almost read her diary out loud to the entire world. ALMOST." Gwen pointed out. Hearing that made Heather stand her ground and make the others behind her stop. "So?" "So, that was pretty harsh," Gwen said, with Cody nodding in agreement.
"She is going down." Just then, a rock was thrown at the back of Heather's head, causing her to yell out an 'ow' from it and turn her head to see who threw it. There, she sees Lucy turning to her left, furiously glaring at her deadly. Yet, Heather's eyes widened, seeing the left side of Lucy's face. Her glowing eye and withered, gray skin covered in glowing scars, and a scar over her said left eye. Seeing that caused Heather to scream in fear, running and getting behind Owen, making the other Screaming Gophers look at her confused. It then alarmed Trent and Marinette, causing the two to turn around. "What's wrong?" Marinette asked. Heather tried to tell them while pointing at Lucy, but all that came out of her mouth were sputters and stutters. However, when they turned to look at Lucy, Lucy was just walking, still listening to her music, and not aware of what was going on behind her. "Lucy isn't doing anything, Heather." Marinette and Trent then continue walking with Lucy. Along with the rest of the Screaming Gophers following along with them. Heather was both shocked and in disbelief about why they never noticed Lucy's face when she turned to her.
CONFESSIONAL: HEATHER
"I don't know what that was...but something is not right with that Corleone girl," Heather said, shaking in fear of what she saw.
When they got to their location, Owen pointed out that there was no food. "Well, this is a survival task, Owen," Lucy said. "Lucy's right. Look at the instructions." "I wonder if there are any bears around today." Owen said. "Wouldn't it be funny if we made some bear sounds, and then they came?" Izzy laughs at Owen's idea. "That would be so funny," she said. As Owen does his bear impression, Heather shushes him. "Will you please shut it? I'm trying to read here," she said, looking at the instructions. "It says we're supposed to find our own food." Heather scoffs. "I still don't see it." "I think they mean in the woods, Heather," Marinette said, pointing at the words that were in small font in the instructions. "Leave the food finding to me," Lucy said loudly, getting out a fishnet and a spear. As she walked off, the rest of the Screaming Gophers looked at her, surprised. "Where did that girl get the spear and the fishnet?" asked Leshawna, pointing the two things in Lucy's hands. "She probably got them from Chris or Chef," Heather said, rolling up the map.
CONFESSIONAL: MARY-LOUKRITIA CORLEONE
"Actually, they are my stuff one of my relatives gave me one summer," Lucy said, holding up an old photo of her tween self, holding the same spear and fishnet. "Like I said, it's not the first time I was in the great outdoors."
After setting up the campfire, the Screaming Gophers waited awhile until Lucy came back. Heather complained that she was starving while Izzy groaned. "I think my stomach ate my stomach," she said. That was until they heard a pizza guy call out. "Yo! Who ordered the pepperoni...extra cheese?" "It's for the camera crew, over here." "No way," Heather said in disbelief. "Well, this is a survival task. I don't think they mean we can't use any modern things like ordering food." Marinette said, with Trent and Gwen nodding in agreement. "Alright, I'm back," Lucy called out, with a fish in her spear and thirteen fish in her fishnet. "Are you kidding me?"
"Alright, Lucy!" Owen said happily. "You're awesome." said Trent. Izzy excitedly said she loves fish and tried to bite it. However, she stopped. "I guess we should cook it first, huh?"
With that, they started cooking the fish. "Alright, fire's hot, fish is grilling, and we already got the tent set up," Lucy said as she looked at the tent, and Marinette looked at the fish. "Nice going, Lucy, fish looks awesome." "Thanks. I owe it all to my relatives back home." Suddenly, Heather notices something. "Hey, has anyone seen Crazy Girl?" she asked. "I think she had to use the can." Owen guessed. "But that was over an hour ago." Trent said. Lucy motions to Marinette that they'll go and find her. Marinette nodded, and the two headed off to find Izzy while the others called for her.
As the two headed to find her, they walked to see the Killer Bass. "Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to join us." Duncan said. "Funny, Juvie. Hey, have you guys seen Izzy?" "No, sorry, Lucy," Courtney said. "Man, that bambina is gonna put us six-feet under. Thanks." Before the two can continue finding Izzy, Lucy and Marinette notice the rabbit. "Where'd you find that?" she asked as she and Marinette sat down. Before D.J. can answer, they hear an owl hooting, which startles Bridgette. "It's okay, Bridgette. It's just an owl." Marinette said, comforting her.
"Sorry, I just get really freaked out in the forest," Bridgette said. "Hey, if it's any consolation, sometimes nature is a wonder to behold. Well, not all the time, honestly," Lucy said. "Why? What's wrong with it?" asked Harold. Lucy crosses her arms, looking down, saying, "Well, it's kinda hard to explain, really." "Huh, I thought you said that it wasn't the first time you were in the great outdoors," Duncan said. "I did. But sometimes nature is honestly no picnic. Asides from being in one that is bear-country on one side of it, and dealing with..." Marinette and the Killer Bass looked surprised seeing Lucy like this. Lucy crossed her arms, held herself tight, never let go, and looked down, not feeling comfortable continuing, her shaking as if she experienced something traumatizing, and her face looked like she was scarred for life. With that, Courtney smacked Duncan on the head.
"See what you did?! You're making her feel scared now!" she said angrily. "Courtney, it's fine. It was just a nightmare I just had before I got into this show." Lucy said, snapping out of it. "I got a bit carried away reading old newspaper articles. One of them was about a former country idol, and a female idol from another genre. I guess I read that one too much that it gave me that nightmare, making me be the said female idol, being hunted down by that creepy former country idol...Ah, man, I forgot his name. It's kinda the same name as a bird. But I forgot what bird it was." Courtney and the others understand, but Courtney then glares at Duncan. "You are so vile. Do your parents even like you?" "I don't know, Gawky McShocker. I haven't asked them lately." Then, wolves start to howl, which startles Marinette into jumping into Duncan's arms in fear and looking scared, not aware of Duncan looking at her, then at Geoff, causing him to give Duncan a smile and a thumbs up.
After a bit, it was time for them to sleep. They offered Lucy and Marinette to join, and since there was no turning back to the Screaming Gophers since it was getting pretty late, they accepted. As they sleep, Lucy hears Bridgette outside. She pops her head out to see what is going on and notices Bridgette accidentally falling with a bat on her face, which causes her to kick a burning charcoal up and over to their tent. Lucy then quickly catches it and tosses it back into the fire. The Killer Bass sighed in relief when they saw her do that. Lucy then heads over to Bridgette, getting the bat off of her. "Come on, Vinnie Stoker, off the gal and head back with your pals," she said, letting the bat fly off. She then turns and helps Bridgette up. "Thanks, Lucy." "Of course. It's what I'm here for." "Is your hand okay?" "Oh, it is. Slightly burnt a tiny bit. But other than that, it's fine, really." "Guess she does have experience with the great outdoors," Duncan said, crossing his arms impressed.
After that, they all head back to their tent and back to sleep on time before the rain starts. By the next morning, Marinette was resting in Duncan's arms until she started to wake up. "Morning, Sunshine." Marinette's eyes opened, and she realized that she was on top of Duncan. "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!" Marinette gasped, quickly getting off of him. "Seriously? Cuddling Nettie like that? Not cool, Juvie." Lucy said, looking at Duncan unamused. "Hey, I was calmly lying on my back and trying to catch a few z's. She was snuggling up to me." "You are one heck of a beta-punk." "I've been called worse." Lucy rolled her eyes and walked. "Come on, Nettie. We're leaving. Hope the gang found Izzy and they'll meet us at the campsite." Lucy said, with Marinette walking next to her.
CONFESSIONAL: MARY-LOUKRITIA CORLEONE
"I am not trusting that Juvenile one bit whenever Nettie is with him. If he ever hurts a hair on that bambina, he will regret it."
When they got back to the campsite, Chris was there. "Glad you two made it. You two can head back into the main lodge and help Chef out." "Sweet!" Lucy said, looking like she's won a Platinum Record at the music awards. Marinette happily nodded, and the two headed over to the main lodge.
As the two left, the Killer Bass made it, too. "We're the first ones back!" Courtney happily cheered. The Screaming Gophers then arrive as well. "Oh, no! They beat us here. This is all your fault!" yelled Heather. "Not so fast, Gopherinos," said Chris. "It seems the Killer Bass are missing a few fish." "Oh, you mean Katie and Sadie?" Courtney asked. "I'm pretty sure they got eaten by wolves last night." "Darn shame," said Duncan. That was until Katie and Sadie ran in, panting. "We made it." "We're safe! Oh, my gosh, guys, we got totally got lost and then got in this massive fight." "And there was this huge bear, and he was all, "Rawr! You're in my crib, so get out!"" "And we had to run, and it was, like, so scary." After a bit and seeing the two hug and make up, Courtney gets their attention, clearing her throat to them. "Are you two finished your little love fest?" she asked. The two nodded. "Good. Because thanks to you, we just lost the challenge!" "Wait, but what about Marinette and Lucy?" Lindsay asked. "Oh, those two got here too. They're just helping Chef in the kitchen making breakfast as we speak." Chris said, pointing to the main lodge. The Screaming Gophers sighed in relief, knowing that the two were okay and they didn't lose the challenge either. Chris continued. "All right, Killer Bass, one of your fishy butts is going home. Gophers, as the two are done helping Chef, you're going on an all-expense-paid trip to the Tuck Shop!" The Screaming Gophers cheered while the Killer Bass gasped and then glared at the duo.
After breakfast and the Tuck Shop, every one of the Screaming Gophers was hanging out in their hot tub, having fun. "Oh, my gosh, this is so good! I never thought chips could taste so good!" Owen said. "I think I'm gonna be sick." "Got you covered, Owen," Lucy said, handing him a bucket. Owen gratefully takes it, turns around, and throws up the chips in the bucket she gave him. "That is so incredibly gross," Heather complained. "Ah, that's better. Thanks, Lucy," Lucy nods with a smile. "Hey, by the way, where were you two anyway?" Gwen asked. "Oh, we were at the Killer Bass's tent. It was getting late, and we didn't have a choice." Marinette said. "Well, as long as you two are safe, that's fine," Cody said, which made Trent nod in agreement. "And you two made it before we did, which got us to win the challenge, so I guess I'll make an exception," Heather said, munching on her chips. "The Screaming Gophers rule!" Owen cheered.
Later that night, it was time for the elimination ceremony. "You've all cast your votes. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately hit the Dock of Shame, grab the Boat of Losers, and get the heck out of here. And you can't come back. Ever...Now, I can see you're all tired, so tonight, I'll just throw them to you. Savvy?" Chris then starts to throw the marshmallows to the campers who are safe. "Courtney. Duncan. Bridgette. D.J.. Harold. Geoff. Tyler." Which then leaves Katie and Sadie. "Ladies. This is the final marshmallow of the evening...Sadie."
After the elimination ceremony, Lucy and Marinette are sitting on the steps of the Killer Bass cabin, reading another Stephanie Queen book and sketching designs on her sketchpad, while Duncan walks over and sits down next to them. "Hey, Duncan," said Marinette. "What do you want?" Lucy asked, glaring at him and trying to continue reading her book. "I just want to say that I'm sorry I asked that question, making you remember that nightmare." "Hey, you're lucky I had my essential oils on me, or else I would've brutalitied you into a pulp." "Brutalitied?" "Oh, it's slang my people and I usually use back then. Anyway, just know that I accept your apology." Lucy and Marinette then got up and headed over to the Screaming Gophers cabin for bed, not aware of Duncan looking at Marinette romantically.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes - my thoughts
I saw the movie and I have a lot of thoughts. I have seen people say it should have been split into 2 movies (it is a longer book than Mockingjay). I have also read it would be better suited as a tv show. But I don't think it would be as lucrative that way. It was good. I want to see it again. Maybe wait for dvd? I'm sure there are details I missed. It was also hard for me to watch it and not compare it to the book. Part of why I want to see it again. There is so much more from the book that I wish could have been included. Thoughts and spoilers below
I loved how they set the stage of the Snow's reality vs Coriolanus trying to keep the Snow reputation intact. Coryo noticing the tesserae missing from the bathroom tile, the empty fridge, and Clemensia catching him glancing at the food when they walked into the academy.
Things I liked: Lucky Flickerman. "Smile, it's why we have teeth." The scenes with the tributes in the zoo. The screens that televised the games. How simple the arena was and how it only go more "interesting" after the bomb. "You're monsters! All of you!" I LOVED that scene. How Tigris sort of kept Coryo's humanity in check. The tesserae missing from the tile in the bathroom. Lucy's singing. The hob and Coryo enjoying the music! Maybe the only time he lets himself enjoy music? The beginning in the Snow apartment and the scene with Mayfair and Spruce felt really true to the book. Also the scene at the end in the woods and the weapons and Coryo going after Lucy and the snake and him getting angry and the shooting and how you just see everything change for him. That scene was so good. Coral saying right before her death that all the kids she killed was for nothing cause she wasn't going to survive and go home. And many more things.
I wanted to see more of Coriolanus x Lucy. I could tell during the games that he cared about her well-being, but I was confused why they had an almost kiss before the games. In the book they do kiss before the games and then he questions things even more. Did he love her? Did she love him? He continues to see her less as a tribute from a district and more as a person. I think they still conveyed that, but I wonder why they changed it. In the movie games I thought they did a great job of showing how much Coryo cared about Lucy's well being. He would stare at the screen and say things quietly so that others didn't hear him. He slept at the academy in front of the screens. In the book, the third part really builds on the romance, all for it to be shattered when Coryo thinks Lucy will turn him in. I wanted more of that in the movie. We saw Lucy playing with the Covey at the hob. That was great. We saw Coryo enjoying the music which I loved. Especially since he later suggests that music should not be allowed because it is dangerous. I wish they could have developed the romance more so when it goes south it's really impactful.
There was some capitol violence that they left out. Probably for time. Also, as stated in this article, they want the PG13 rating to appeal to a wider audience. In the movie games we see a tribute killed with a pitchfork, people die from rat poisoning, and snake bites. In the book I believe there are two instances of someone being dragged through the street as a warning to others of what happens if you break the rules. That was not in the movie. I remember reading it and being horrified by it, but also painted a picture of how violent the Capitol will be to send a message. I don't know if that king of violence is different from the deaths in the games; more shocking. Or if they had to pick and choose. I guess it wasn't essential to the plot but, to me it said what lengths the Capitol will go to.
I wanted to see more of Clemensia after the snake bite. Partially because I had trouble picturing it so I wanted to see it in the movie, but also because it further shows what Dr. Gaul is capable of. I don't remember in the book if she insinuates that she does or does not know if the snake bite will kill. In the book and movie it's clear that she doesn't care, but I wanted to see the aftermath. I wanted them to show the gruesome nature of Dr. Gaul's experiments. The snake bite didn't just kill, it altered Clemensia.
I wanted to see more of Coriolanus and Sejanus' friendship. Sejanus thought they were friends. Everyone else thought they were friends. In the book, Coryo disliked every time someone called Sejanus his friend. In the movie, when Coryo rescues him from the arena Sejanus, there is a line from Sejanus about not expecting to see Coryo come get him out and Coryo saying that he didn't want to be there either. I liked the reminder that Coryo does not want to be associated as Sejanus' friend. I wish there was more of that in the movie. People referring to Sejanus as Coryo's friend and Coryo agreeing but slightly showing that it bothers him. Ma saying how good Coryo is to Sejanus. That makes Coryo sending Sejanus to his death more impactful. In the third part of the book, we got the plot of Sejanus planning to run away with others. I don't remember if he was planning a rebellion or to run in the book. I think it was a rebellion but in the movie it was to run away. In the movie he is shocked to see the guns but I don't think that was his reaction in the book. In the third part of the book we also see the friendship develop between Sejanus and Coryo. In the movie, we see Coryo very torn and distressed over Sejanus' death, but I feel like they didn't establish that friendship enough for us to really see why him turning Sejanus in was such a struggle for him.
In the beginning of the book Coryo's focus is on preserving his family's reputation and securing his future. I loved all the moments that showed that he only cared about Lucy winning because of how that would impact his life. I wanted more of that. Maybe those moments were subtle because he tries to not make it obvious?
In the trailer they show his reaction to Lucy calling him a rebel but the movie doesn't. I loved seeing his reaction because in the book he hates that she calls him a rebel.
The whole thing of Lucy tapping her pocket in the arena and then while performing and coryo knowing it was for him. And Lucy singing a song where she declares her love for him. But he never tells her how he actually feels. I wanted to see more of that. More of her loving him and him liking that she loved him but also him wanting to control her.
The peacekeepers capturing jabberjays. We did briefly see that and it's not the actual capturing, but how Coryo views the jabberjays and mockingjays. It emphasizes how he likes order and the mockinjays are unnatural to him.
There was a lot of inner monologue thought from coryo that I don't think was told enough. The moment in the woods before he tried to shoot Lucy was great. But in my opinion the movie didn't give tom enough of a chance to really show the conflict going on in Coryo's head.
TLDR: I liked a lot of things. I also wanted to see more of some things. Coriolanus and Sejanus. Their friendship and how Coryo does things for Sejanus that make everyone think they're friends even though Coryo disagrees. More of Coriolanus and Lucy's romance develop after the games. Sejanus' mom. Clemensia after the snake bite. I wanted more of all the relationships between the characters.

Easy Smiles and Loud Laughter
Outside POV of harringrove:
Lucy works at a hotel check-in desk and she meets Billy and Steve briefly as they celebrate Steve's birthday
Lucy's half asleep at her desk not even two hours into her shift, chugging down the remnants of her first (but most definitely not last) coffee of the day. It's just gone 11am when the blonde adonis from last night's check-in walks in through the front doors of the hotel.
He looks like a man on a mission, curls tied back from his face, sweaty and dressed in loose-fitting gym clothes and carrying two large cups of coffee in one hand.
He beelines past her desk before he heads back upstairs though, resting his free arm against the counter and leaning into her space, a conspiratorial look on his face.
Lucy swallows. She's got experience in the face of attractive men, can usually completely ignore them to go about her day normally, but this one seems to ooze charisma from his pores like he doesn't even realize the gravitational pull he has on everyone. She can see the janitor watching them out of the corner of her eye, his eyes fixed on the blonde man's ass.
"Sir?"
"It's my husband's birthday today, make sure you say happy birthday when he comes down," blonde-guy grins, tongue flicking out over his teeth and Lucy remembers the man he'd come in with last night; all big brown eyes, hair flopping into them as he'd leant against the front desk and paid, voice smooth and hands insanely large when they'd taken the card machine from her. 'Steve' his card had said and she remembers thinking that it was too ordinary of a name for him.
It's unfair how attractive they both are, and taken. Of course. Because how can two men looking like they do be anything but snapped up immediately. Lucy smiles, a genuine one for once, not just her customer service smile, "of course, sir."
His grin widens, and he taps his fist against the desk before walking away.
Lucy watches him leave, a pleasant warm feeling in her chest at the reminder that not everyone treats the person they profess to love with derision or hatred, that some people out there have a kind of love where they want to shout it from the rooftops, want everyone to celebrate with them, to see how special that person is to them.
----
She's nearing the end of her shift when she sees them again. They must have left the hotel at some point when she wasn't around because they come back in through the doors wrapped around each other. Steve is just in front, blondie (she still hasn't got his name) plastered to his back, murmuring to him.
“Good evening!” Lucy smiles at them, glad she didn't miss the chance to wish Steve happy birthday like his husband had asked, “I hear today was your birthday! How was your special birthday meal?”
“Oh! You know it’s my birthday?” He blinks at her, and she hides her chuckle when he turns to send his husband a look over his shoulder, a flush dusting his cheeks, “Billy?”
Blondie– apparently Billy -turns pink, clearly embarrassed, and Lucy jumps in, “he told me this morning when he was passing through!”
The flush on Steve’s face deepens, spreading to the tips of his ears, and it feels indecent to witness the depth of love that takes over the look he’s still giving his husband. When he turns back to her there’s a large, goofy grin on his face, and his eyes are sparkling with joy.
“We went to Alessandro’s,” his tongue rolls with the word and Lucy hides her surprise carefully behind her still present smile, “and I got the lasagne, and oh it was so good! It was like being back with my nonna in Italy…”
Lucy looks over Steve’s shoulder at Billy, still listening to Steve as he waxes poetic about the lasagna and the wine, cheeks flush with pleasure. Billy’s looking at Steve like he hung the moon, clearly proud that he’d managed to make his husband so happy. He gives her an approving nod when she briefly catches his eye, clearly pleased she’d remembered.
Lucy flicks her gaze back to Steve, unable to help the grin that naturally spreads across her face when she sees the smile on his face, “...and I don't know how Billy knew about this place, but it was so perfect! I got to practice my Italian, which I haven't been able to in years!”
“Alessandro’s is a fantastic place, I suggested it to your husband when he asked last night,” Lucy’s smile widens when Steve’s eyes light up, “I’m glad you enjoyed it!”
“Thank you!” He gushes, and Lucy thinks he probably could have stood there all night and kept talking about lasagna and his nonna but Billy interrupts before he can, reminding him that they need to get back to their room.
“Have a great rest of your day!” She calls after them as they head for the stairs, and for the first time in her months working at the hotel she actually means it.
For the rest of the time she works at the hotel she intermittently thinks about lasagna couple (as she refers to them in her head), and hopes that they're still together and as happy as they’d been all those years ago.
(They are).

7/29/23 Fears prompt @allaboutnalu for Nalu Week 2023
Levy gently places her hand over her best friends, coaxing her to relax. “Try not to worry and have a little fun tonight Lucy, we’re celebrating your freedom.” The two women are at their favorite bar to drown their stress in alcohol, music, and maybe some eye-candy but who’s gonna snitch? It is a comfortable place that they’ve been coming to since their college years, and since they know some of the employees, they even get drinks for free sometimes.
“I can’t help it,” Lucy sighs. “Everything’s still so fresh,” she absentmindedly reaches up and touches her left cheek below her eye where it was punched a week ago. Thankfully, the bruising has gone down and it’s just tender still. This is the first time in probably a year that she’s been to this bar or really spent the night out just with her girlfriends because of her ex’s controlling behaviors. “Dan just won’t leave me alone. I’ve even seen him driving past my job or home like he’s keeping tabs.”
Lucy Heartfilia has just gotten out of an abusive relationship with her ex-boyfriend Dan. It started out like so many domestic abuse situations where they are perfect gentlemen, sweet talking, and romantic, but slowly and surely the psychological manipulation began. Guilt-tripping her when she wanted to hang out with her friends or visit her own family. Making excuses for why he wanted to drive her to and from work. Throwing tantrums when he didn’t get his way, verbally berating, or making rude comments about her appearance only to switch gears and be extremely apologetic. Dan would tell her he’d commit suicide if she left him, and so the guilt also kept her from leaving for fear that he might actually go through with it. Of course, it’s all a trap, to lure her back in emotionally and make her feel like things will get better.
It was always that hope of change that she hung onto as the cycle repeated itself again and again. Abuse and repentance. But there’s only so much someone can take, and thankfully for Lucy she has the support of a best friend that will not let her fall. Yeah, it’s great to be free, but there is always the sense of fear and dread when she must walk outside alone, like when she’s leaving her apartment building or office, or even shopping at the store. What if Dan makes good on his threats? She’s never been such a nervous person before that it’s sad how one bad relationship can leave a person tainted for the rest of their lives.
“Did you go to the court house to apply for the restraining order?” Levy queries.
“I did.” Lucy responds. “The process server is supposed to serve him tomorrow.”
“Good,” Levy responds with an approving nod. “Then if that bastard comes near you, the cops can throw him in jail!” She looks around to see if the server’s nearby before standing up. “I’m gonna run to the restroom, if the server comes by can you order me another drink?”
“Yeah, sure,” Lucy smiles. “I’ll make sure to.”
With the music an even tempo of soft alternative and pop, nothing to dance or too lively, it lulls the listeners into a pleasant mood. Lucy really misses coming to this ambient atmosphere after a hard week of pursuing and writing articles instead of going home to an unhappy relationship. If only… Her eyes narrow in towards the front entrance, widening in a flash as she sees Dan step through the threshold.
“Shit!” She grits her teeth and scoots down in the booth. “I knew it!” Lucy just knew he’d likely come looking for her since he knew this is a favorite hang out spot.
Lucy scans the room, eyes flitting around for a way to avoid being caught by him. She can’t get to the front door because it’ll take stepping into the open for him to grab her, and she rather not get trapped in the restrooms... Maybe, she keys onto the bar counter… maybe if she can get to the bartender she’ll at least have an ally to help her. Using the columns and darker areas along the walls, Lucy weaves through other patrons towards the bar counter.
“Lucy!”
Her body stiffens at the familiar angry voice and cringes when she sees Dan yelling and waving frantically while he picks up his pace. No, no, no! As he pushes through the crowd, Lucy sprints the final few feet and grabs onto the first guy sitting alone at the counter. Pink-hair, taller and fit wearing a nice buttons down business shirt and slacks like he just got here from an office. Under other circumstance she’d be ogling the guy not crashing his evening. “Hey babe!” She weaves her arm around his solid bicep. “Sorry I’m late!” Lucy leans close and whispers through a gritted smile, her eyes desperately focused and appealing. “Please play along!”
Just as Dan reaches them, the male who’s eyes at first startles from the intrusion, quickly catches the hint and pulls Lucy in, planting a kiss on her cheek, and all the while side-eyeing the other male. “It’s fine baby, I just got here too.”
“What the fuck!” Dan forcefully grabs the strangers shoulder and pushes while reaching for Lucy’s arm, but the stranger sweeps Lucy aside out of Dan’s way, further enraging him.
Placing Lucy behind him, the stranger stands up from the bar stool and holds his hand up to Dan’s chest without actually touching him. “What the fuck is right!” The pink-haired male menacingly narrows his gaze. “I suggest you back off buddy, I don’t give a damn who you are, but the lady clearly doesn’t want anything to do with you!”
“This ain’t your problem, asshole, she’s my girlfriend!” Dan spits back.
“No, I’m not!” Lucy screams as tears trickle down her cheeks. “You abusive bastard, I’ve got a restraining order on you so leave me alone! We’re done!”
Dan ignores both their statements and makes another lunge to reach for Lucy, but the stranger open palm pushes at Dan’s chest, forcing him to stagger back a foot or two. “Leave!” The stranger snaps, growling his words. “She’s my girl now, and if you keep harassing her I’ll make you sorry!”
At the strangers confirmatory words, Dan roars and lunges at the man who sidesteps and retaliates with an uppercut to his stomach, knocking the wind out of Dan who crumples to the floor coughing. Just as Dan tries to get to his knees, the bouncers are now there and grab him by his shoulders, one on each side they start pulling him away as he continues to shout profanities.
It’s over.
Lucy slumps against the bar top, leaning on it to stop from falling as the adrenaline rushing through her body begins to wane. “Thank you,” the words trickle out in a soft tone laced with held back tears. “Thank you sir, thank you so much,” Lucy repeats over and over.
“Lu!” Levy also finally manages to break through the gathered crowd and rushes to her friends side, pulling the blonde into a tight hug. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t here!”
“It’s over, Levy,” Lucy gently sobs a mixture of elated relief. “Thanks to this nice man here.” Now that she can breathe easier, she realizes this stranger is even cuter than she originally noticed. He has gorgeous green eyes that sparkle in the disco-type lights panning the room. The man’s smile also conveys a happy lightness that pulls you in deeper and wanting for more. She feels a bit of warmth brewing over her cheeks, but could anyone blame her after such a harrowing save by this hero?
Levy turns to the stranger while still holding her friend. “I’m Levy, and this is my bestie Lucy.” Her head tips to the side and eyes flit to the front door to accentuate the who. “That guy’s been stalking my friend, so thank you so much for helping her! He might’ve kidnapped her if he got to her.”
The stranger smiles. “It’s nice to meet you both, and don’t worry, I’m happy to help out a pretty lady in need. I’ve dealt with a lot of dumbasses over the years, so I’m used to it.”
“I bet,” Levy chuckles. “It’s a nice reminder that good guys still exist.”
Here they are chatting like old friends yet they don’t even know his name. Lucy pulls away from Levy to finish wiping away the remaining tears and clean herself up. “So, what’s you name sir?” She finally smiles genuinely. “Is there anything I can do for you, perhaps buy you a drink to thank you?”
The man pulls out a card holder and hands Lucy a business card. “Detective Natsu Dragneel at your service,” he smiles and winks. “A drink is fine, but what I’d really like is your number and to take you out to dinner if you’re up for it.”
A surprised gasp lets out as Levy looks to see Lucy’s face turning cherry red. Having known each other for years, she knew exactly what her best friend is thinking. “Yes!” Levy squeals while pushing Lucy closer to the man. “She’d love to!”
“Levy!”

Pale 10.c
She chewed on her bottom lip with teeth that had first become fangs, then subdivided into lesser teeth, years ago now.
you know, I always picture creatures who gain lots of teeth as growing new ones from scratch, not bifurcating the ones that exist, but I guess this works too
Nibble was kind and good and funny when he let his guard down, which seemed to be a thing that was rarer and rarer, but he did have his downsides, and one of those downsides was that every time she wore one of these two rompers she liked, short sleeved, short legged, one piece, buttons down the front, floral pattern, he’d drop an idle comment about how he didn’t ‘get’ certain fashion.
rude! Those sound fun
Her ribs, as she pressed the claw against skin, weren’t smooth forms anymore. Beneath the skin, they were five or six-sided, with hard, sharp, distinct edges, and they forked and bent like they wanted to be lightning bolts, some digging deep into and around organs.
now this is some body horror
It hadn’t happened right away, but as they’d been made to lash out at each other, the group had started picking her every time.
I'm putting Chloe's backstory up there with the Hungry Choir for fucked up bits of worldbuilding
“I missed showers,” she said, and it sounded so small compared to the depth of what she’d felt. “Running water, Chloe. No running water.”
man this is depressing
One stack of boxes was arranged to put the music player beside the head of the bed.  Another had paper towels laid out on a baking sheet, and a dismembered limb sat there, thawing. It almost looked like the beginnings of a bedroom, now.
I like the casual cannibalism inclusion
"The worst is one where we have no choice but to fight and the outcome is decided against us."
the kind of fight Alexander liked to set up
“And who’s we?” Nibble asked. “Yet to be fully decided. Give it until the end of Summer, Others will entrench and I’ll give you a firmer answer about who is on our side."
So three sides to this, at least. The original conspirators + allies, the girls, and Crooked Rook looking to hang back and look for advantages. Nibble and Chloe with Rook, Tashlit and Snowdrop and John with the girls, Cig with Edith and Matthew?
“I know I’m a burden, I’m struggling, and you have to help me too often, Nib, but I- I need that.” “You’re not a- I don’t mind helping, Chloe, I don’t mind if you’re a bit of a burden sometimes. I mean, I worry, I do, but it’s-”
Tumblr media
There was a couple in a screened-in porch, booming with life in a very rhythmic way. She smiled, and drew closer to Nibble. He kissed her when she looked up at his face.
does this count as voyeurism?
A man approached on the path, and Nibble led the two of them on a different course, so they wouldn’t walk too close to him.  He didn’t look like a guy out for a hike, but to Chloe, he didn’t look like much.  He didn’t boom with Life, and what Life he did have was dark gray against the evening backdrop.  He drew on a cigarette, and a thread of blackness snaked its way in through his lower face and upper chest.
I'm worried this is the witch hunter, given how much description he's given here. Fuck. I don't think Nibble and Chloe would do well against him. And looks like they weren't given Edith's warning.
“I don’t know.  I’m trying to think about it in terms of… if they’re not convincing us to do something specific, is it pushing us to do something in a secret way?  Or manipulating us, or using something about us?  If we were more like some of the stronger ghouls Faith talked about, and made things more Death-oriented around us, that’d be one thing.”
I don't know either! I guess ghouls are also tied to violence and flesh, which has synergy with the Carmine Beast furs? Or they could be a flashy, dangerous distraction?
“Who?” she whispered. “Matthew and Edith. For reinforcements.” She nodded. “They didn’t answer the phone, so I texted.”
deliberately not answering to let them die blame-free?
The two practitioners, Lucy, Avery, Snowdrop, and a fourth girl she didn’t recognize, with messy blond hair that looked like it had been tightly braided and then left with that waviness that came with braiding.
is this Louise's cabin? Bad that the witch hunter is near by, but potentially good that the girls can reinforce the ghouls

One Piece Short - Unexpected Meeting (Oc x Bellamy)
~In between matches~
With a little bit of down time between matches Lucy found herself exploring the 
colosseum as she had only been there for a little while. As she was roaming the endless halls 
of the colosseum she suddenly heard a presence behind her “Luucccccyyyyyy!!!” coming from a 
familiar annoying voice. She let out of a groan of aggravation and turned her attention to the tall 
figure approaching her who waved from the distance “Damn it all.. I thought I had lost him after 
the match..” She swore to herself. She let out a small sigh as she spoke to him “Oh hey, 
Bartolomeo. What brings you here?..” She gritted her teeth. The tall male stopped in front of her 
“Oh! Uh! I wanted to ask you a few questions about you and the straw hats! If that’s okay!” Lucy 
sighed as she slowly nodded “Alright, fine..” 
With a gleeful smile Bartolomeo took out a small notepad as he flipped through it quickly 
as he searched for his questions “How did you meet the strawhats? Oh and how did you 
become a part of the strawhats? And also also I heard you were a captain a few years back 
before! What happened to your crew? Did you guys disband? Or?!” Lucy suddenly stopped in
her tracks and her hand over his mouth “Hm?!’ She gritted her teeth as she pull his face down 
closer to hers “You think it’s wise to go asking such questions..” Her eyes gave a glint of anger 
and sadness.
Bartolomeo frowned as he tried to speak Lucy covered his mouth again as she pulled
him back against the wall “Quiet. Listen.” She whispered to him as she listened intently “Well 
well hello there, Bellamy.  It’s so nice to see you!” Lucy’s ears went back as she looked to see 
who was talking to Bellamy and her eyes widened seeing him “Dellinger… You have to be 
kidding me..” she said to herself as she continued to listen to the two interact. As she watched 
their exchange she couldn’t help feel nervous. The interaction went as the following “So did you 
fulfill your order of killing the strawhat for the young master?” Dellinger drew closer which made 
Bellamy draw back “I-I haven’t yet but I..” Dellinger cut him “Well you won’t be of any use to the 
young master then!” He said this while he took a strike to Bellamy and knocked him against the 
wall making the area around them rumble.
Lucy flinched as herself and Bartolomeo felt some of the impact of the hit “Fuck he’s 
strong…” She whispered. She continued to listen and watch focused on the scene playing out 
before her “The young master has given me order to take you out as you are nothing to him but 
an inconvenience seeing that you didn’t win the match. Making you useless!” Lucy’s gripped on 
Bartolomeo slowly become looser as he free himself from her grip. She didn’t take her eyes off 
the pair in front of her “I’ll make it so that you feel everything! So suffer!” Lucy grabbed 
Bartolomeo by the collar of his shirt and threw him in front of the Bellamy with no time for him to 
think. 
When he landed in between the two he crossing both of fingers and arms access his 
chest and yelled “Barrier!” as a solid barrier intervened between them. Dellinger was caught off 
guard as he stood back and his attack was caught by the barrier “What the hell?!” He spat. Lucy 
quickly shoot out from her hiding spot and was wielding Murakumogiri as she slashed the 
ground making it crack down the middle “Doesn’t look like you’re a part of the competition.” She 
glared at Dellinger and lifted up Murakumogiri  up over her shoulder. Dellinger dodged the attack 
easily as he locked eyes with her “Well if it isn’t the feisty cat girl from the straw hats! Heheheh 
such a delight to have a fresh face!” 
Lucy watched him carefully waiting for his next move “I don’t think you have any 
business being here. People who wish to view the battles should be seated in the audience!”
With this she swung Murakumogiri with controlled force and barely missed a hair on Dellinger’s 
head “Woah though, sweetie! You seem to misunderstand! I do have business here! It’s with that 
meathead Bellamy!” as he spoke he hopped above Lucy and Bartolomeo as he aimed his kick 
straight for Bellamy’s head “This should crush his skull in kick!” Lucy shifted into her beast form 
and yelled for Bartolomeo “Bartolomeo! Hop on my back and block his attack!” He nodded as he 
ran up her back and created another barrier to block Dellinger’s kick.
Taking this chance Lucy approached Bellamy and grabbed his hand as she beckoned 
him to get on her back as she shifted into her beast form “Get on! I’ll get you out of here!” 
Bellamy was caught off guard as he was suddenly forced onto her back as she ran “Why are 
you helping me? I’ve caused nothing but trouble for your captain and I was your rival in the 
competition…” She spoke quietly as she ran “I know you have had issue with Luffy back two 
years ago but that was two years ago.. And I saw you a little bit ago.. You had a knife and were 
having thoughts on killing Luffy. I was keeping an eye on you but I saw you drop the knife and 
suddenly ran away. So I followed you. That’s where I found you here. I believe certain types of 
people can be given second chances if they can change and you show potential that you can do 
that. But can I allow myself to trust you?” 
This caught Bellamy off guard was he didn’t even except to be saved by one of the 
members of the strawhats. As she continued to run Lucy spoke once more “I understand you 
look up to Doflamingo but please hear me out when I say that his ideals are twisted.. He’s not 
who you think he is.. This whole act he’s putting on is just mask to cover up the ugly truth..” She 
stopped as she looked up at him “I think we’re far enough away from him so you’ll be safe..” 
Bellamy hopped off her back as she shifted into her human form. She plopped herself onto the 
ground taking a breath as she pinched the bridge of her nose “That was a pain.. Now I got 
myself even more involved than I should have.” As she sat there for a moment she felt a 
presence sit down next to her “Sounds about right for you given your background.” Bellamy 
remarked with an amused smirk. Lucy frowned as she turned to him “Like I need to hear that 
from you of all people!” 
Bellamy gave another smirk with a mocking laughing which all the while only helped in 
pissing her off all the more “And this is where I regret even TRYING to help your sorry ass!” 
Lucy hopped to her feet as she stood up quickly she found herself feeling a bit wobbly and 
lightheaded. Her legs gave out as she collapsed to her knees “Damn it!...” Angry at herself for 
overexerting her energy. This caught Bellamy off guard as she rushed over to her “Woah! Hey 
you okay?!” Lucy spat in anger “P-piss off!” She tried to stand up again but couldn’t even 
manage to find the energy “Shit… Looks like I’m spent for a bit…” She sighed “There is a bit of 
time before the next match.. Maybe it won’t hurt to just rest a bit.. Plus I’m still recovering from 
Punk Hazard..” She pressed her head against the wall as she gave in “Go ahead I know you 
want to laugh at the sight of a weakling so go ahead and seriously piss off.” With her beckoning 
she fully expected some smart ass comment about only getting tired after one battle but she 
was only met with silence and pretense of someone sitting next to her again.
“Even if I wanted to and trust me seeing you in this pitiful state is a rare sight sadly 
I don’t think it would be right for me to do so.” She sighed “What the hell are you getting at, 
Bellamy?” He planted his firm hand on her head “What I’m saying is that we’re not on the 
battlefield so you don’t have to keep your damn guard up all the time if I wanted to do something 
I would have already so just take it easy will ya? If you’re tired than your tired you have a bit 
before your next battle so just take a breather and rest. I’m not gonna do anything nor will 
anyone see anything just let go. If you keep pushing yourself then you’re gonna end up killing 
yourself before anyone else gets the chance.” Lucy listened and let out a sigh as seeing she 
didn’t really have any other choose in the matter she gave in and nodded. As she slightly 
scooted towards Bellamy and hesitateily sat between his legs as she slowly laid her head back against him and eventually dozed off.
