"Just Neil Gaiman being wholesome again" but also Rob Wilkins being extra wholesome too! On Tuesday evening I went to this talk https://living-knowledge-network.co.uk/library/the-worlds-of-terry-pratchett By Rob Wilkins and Neil Gaiman.
Neil was co-author of "Good Omens" with Sir Terry Pratchett, and they collaborrated on many other books together here and there, just not sharing co-author status too - read this article for more info: http://www.elizabethcallaway.net/good-omens-stylometry?fbclid=IwAR2hVnd8aTYFBZqphk8SzYt8j1NucBl5mUxbDscF3kljQ9Bpuq2leUW2S6I Confirmed by Neil yet again on Tuesday.
Rob Wilkins was Terry's PA, and now manages his estate, as his representative. He also wrote "A life in footnotes" - the official biography of Terry.
On Tuesday evening, I arrived at the British Library very early, and was guided up to the Piggot Theatre lobby to wait by a security person, so I was there before anyone else, including Rob. All the staff were absolutely lovely. When they noticed there weren't any gaps for wheelchair spaces in the audotorium, facilities engineers were summoned and made short work of unbolting a set of 3 seats to make a wheelchair space for myself and another wheelchair user who turned up later.
Then Rob turned up, carrying a mannequin, Terry's leather jacket, scarf, hat, and other stuff.
Now the email we recieved before the event said that Neil wouldn't have time to do any signings that evening, although they didn't mention Rob, so I asked him if he might be able to sign my copy of "a life in footnotes".
He happily said yes, and once he'd sorted his things out, he came back out to chat to me for a while and OMG he was the loveliest person EVER!
I gave him a print I'd signed of my ink portrait of the Bentley, and some stickers of my other Bentley illustrations, and he said "WAIT! I have presents for you too! I'll be right back!" Then rushed off to the green room. (Below are the ink portrait, then I gave him small stickers of the "this is fine" flaming Bentley - which I was also wearing on my t-shirt that day - and my most recent digital portrait of Crowley and the Bentley - and yes it is all hand drawn, not a photo manipulation, feel free to zoom in. A couple of years separate these 3 drawings and I'd been working hard on learning photorealism.)

He came back and gave me Terry and Neil badges, which he explained you only get if you meet them in person. I had met Terry (and incidentally Rob as well) years ago at a book signing, plus I met Neil, albeit briefly, on Tuesday as he came through the lobby and said hello.
He was happy to chat and especially about cars, which he also loves. He confirmed that I was 100% correct about the "2 whole cars and a cab for CGI" between seasons 1 and 2, and that the interior colour change is nothing to do with plot it legitimately is just continuity errors if they forgot to cover the new Bentley's new seats with covers matching the old Bentley's orange ones. (The cab only also has orange leather seats).
When I told him about this year's RREC (Rolls Royce Enthusiast's Club - also for Bentleys) Christmas card design, he was delighted, and asked to take a photo of the image I had of one on my phone because he wants to order some as well.
I showed him my re-usable coffee cup from "give me coffee or give me death" which we were given on the set tour, and which I had Sir Derek Jacobi sign at a comic con the other week. Rob thought that was wonderful, and then did something extra sweet...
He asked me "if you're ok trusting me with this for a little while, would you like me to sneak it back to the green room to ask Neil to sign it for you as well? Then I'll come and find you afterwards to give it back again."
HELL YES! I couldn't believe it! I hadn't wanted to ask because we'd been told that Neil wouldn't be signing things due to lack of time, so for Rob to spontaneously make the offer was not something I was expecting. He did also take my Occult Edition of Good Omens to ask if Neil would sign that as well.
I didn't fully expect that he would, and was prepared for him to come back later and say "sorry he was too busy", and that would have been fine, but no: Neil DID sign them both!
Neil writing "burn this (big fancy) book!" was a spin on how Terry used to sign copies of Good Omens: "burn this book" - which is actually embossed on the rear cover of this edition.
Later, Rob also signed it for me, as did Colin Smythe, who was Terry's publisher and lifelong friend.
We were sitting at the front, only about 7 or 8 feet from Neil, the talk was wonderful, we laughed, we cried a little, and Terry was with us in the form of the mannequin with his jacket, scarf, and hat (which are also on set of Good Omens at all times while filming, and also even during rehersals/table reads - so he's always present.)
Rob is honestly so bloody wholesome, he was hugging a lot of people, and ever so sweet, taking time to chat to other people as the venue filled up, and stayed behind to sign things and talk to other folks as well.
I also got to chat to Dr Pat Harkin and Dr Jan Clarke, who were the researchers who spent months of hard work tracking down Terry's lost short stories in the national archives in Boston Spa, which were released in a compliation book "A stroke of the pen." If I'd known that they'd be there as well, I'd have taken that book and asked them to sign it too. They were in the audience and sitting next to us with Colin Smythe. I was truly surrounded by Pratchett royalty, and everyone, without exception, was SO friendly and lovely.
I had done two prints of the Bentley drawing and stickers, for Rob and for Neil, in case I got chance to give them to them, and when I gave Rob his, I said I had some for Neil as well, and again, he OFFERED to take them to give them to Neil for me.
Although I didn't get chance to thank Neil in person, I wanted to reach out to let him know I was very grateful for his kindness as well, so sent him a message via his "ask" channel, although not with an expectaction of reply - just for him to see privately and know that I was appreciative. But he chose to actually publish it as a public reply, which was lovely of him. I hadn't wanted to thank him publicly just in case he didn't want others to know that he had signed some items after all. I'd been expecting to have to wait until he did a proper public appearance with signing at a comic con or something - although with him living in the USA, not the UK, I may have had to wait a long time.
So I guess the answer is to getting an autograph - turn up 2 hours early, and be very VERY nice and polite to Rob Wilkins 😅 (but also don't expect results - I didn't, it just sort of happened).

in my dream...
first i was just some kid from a cartoon meeting his idol, an older rugged ilke hero-type. it was just a cartoon episode about some kid meeting the actor of the main character of a TV show he used to watch when he was a kid, but the actor was very method.
then, I was at this lake near a parking lot that also had this weird bar or restaurant nearby. before that I was a big fan of some dude that was a side character in a big cartoon TV show that was about me/not me. and he was super nice and chill. he was also gay I think? anyway the first time I was there with some friends & we harassed this one dude we knew was homophobic (brocolli hair type f guy with the adidas sweats too)& he had a friend who looked like my mental image of a character named cameron from a book my fruend gave me at my 14th birthday.
anyway my friends and I were telling me homophobia to kill himself while a couple older people from the restaurant were standing by watching and chatting. the actor from before was here but much much older.
bit of a scene shift. back in the parking lot still nighttime & I was trying to park my car but my sister kept taking it out of park and putting it in reverse or drive. my door was open so my phone fell out and I was trying to yell at my sister to stop fucking around before someone got hurt, but as it goes in dreams I couldn't yell at all. my phone got obliterated and we hit two people. the Cameron guy was there and sad as well. his homophobic friend was gone.
i figured I'd chat with him bc I was pissed at my sister and he seemed alright ish so I offered to drive him somewhere. he got into my driver's seat instead &started going & I was like dude what the hell. the highway was crazy too also actually - the sky was like pink and orange, it was like a mile in the air, there wasn't an oncoming side, and there were like propellors on cars and stuff too? and some people would stop in the middle of the road and drive off the side and fall. nuts. anyway
it teleported me into the backseat, but I reached forwards and tried to choke him to death by pulling his windpipe against the headrest. his neck got really flat like a thin plastic bag so i had to try to rip at it with my nails.
i forgot to come back to this, so some other things happened, but eventually i woke up in the restaurant area? it was fine in the end? then i was watching events unfold instead of being in the main character's body. the main character was now some kind of ditzy 18 year old who thought like a novel whose intended audience were 8-12. i just went on a date....a date with a zombie.....even though he tried to kill me....a date...!!! omg! & i was like girl WHAT ? even though i was just in spectator mode now.
then the old ish actor ish guy from before (now bald with several deformities, like lumpy flesh, and he was also blind now with solid like reddish white eyes) was installed as some kind of guiding/mentor-like figure. but also the girl was like well i want romance x( & the guy was lke "very well" & kissed her & she was like omg maybe i'm into dilfs now & kept trying to cringily flirt with him while i was just in the background like girl stop you're gonna give me roaches

9/26 (at least it was when I started writing it this 😅)
RESEARCH PROJECT 3: The $2.00 Shopping Spree!
Tumblr media
Living off campus always gives me the temptation to go home between classes. "20 minutes there; 20 minutes back; bada bing bada boom." Today, I thought a quick stop at Aldi couldn't hurt to add. It was about 1:30pm when I got there. I was surprised by the amount of people there for the middle of a Monday. This Aldi has a vibe. The lights are always suuuuper bright. Someone needs to turn up the volume on the music though. It's way too low. It's just high enough to almost decipher which song is playing. I just exited a hypomanic episode and on the other end is often drop where I'm easy irritated. My mind felt burnt and I was feeling low, so I just wanted to get out of there. as quickly as I could. Today was a bit more colder inside there than normal. I regretted leaving my jacket in my car. Even thought outside was a bit chilly, the sun was out. I falsely believed no coat was the way to go. Fooled again! This Aldi kind of smells like if Nothing were a scented candle. I think I saw an article (probably a TikTok video about how they intentionally try and keep the scent of a grocery store low. Hmmm.
A few items in, I remembered that I still needed to buy something for my splurchase item project. I tried to go about my shopping as usual. Fun thing about my brain is that when you tell it not to think about something, it is gonna think about that thing. So between grabbing my go-to items, my mind kept trying to find sometime that fit the assignment. I found these two colorful chocolate bars that together would cost about two bucks. It was the color of the packaging that caught my attention. The design was meh, but I couldn't find anything else. I put them in the box I snagged from the giant wire crate of boxes. For some reason, I always feel like I'm stealing something when I take one. As if, the employee cares I didn't bring or buy a bag. I took some photos of the chocolate bars and how they were existing in the aisle. I thought that I had found my splurchase. I was wrong. I kept on moving down the aisles and only one away, I came across this box of individual cans of tea, Honestly, it was the font choice of Tea that pulled me in; super fun. It was displayed almost perfectly as a repetitive. I love patterns. They make my brain happy. It also helped that it was at my eye-level. I saw the words organic and realized I had naturally found what I was not looking for. I always associate organic with expensive and almost always go another route. I often don't even glance at the prices. I just assume I can't afford it.
But this is my splurchase! And although I always bulk buy and get my tea in big jugs with a handle, I said screw it and I grabbed one. I pulled up a tea from the box that was cropping off the half of the can that sold me on this item perfect… it's blood orange! OMG! I loooove blood orange! It's sooooo good!
I started taking photos. I noticed that it was in a section that said HURRY and THESE DEALS GO FAST in the signage at the bottom! I love how I associate organic with expensive and yet this tea is in the leftover discount section; calling out to me as something special. I noticed the top was a little dusty. Clearly these had been here for a spicy second (<--- this is my made up alternative to hot minute. It'll catch on. I can feel it). But a little dust didn't bother me. That's what waters for.
After I checked out I realized but after my photoshoot, I forgot to actually take and buy the tea. I ran back full armed with a box of La Croix in one hand and a box of groceries in the other. I came back to the checkout line again to see only one lane open. The amount of items the stranger in front of me was loading on the belt seemed like it was was endless. I checked my watch and realized that I was running out of time to get home in time to make lunch, eat and get back on time for my last class.
I asked if I could cut ahead. I got the kindest "Of course!' The kindness ended my roller coaster of a shopping trip on a happy note. I check out and off to to home I went. I thought I'd have it along with lunch. I got lost in a conversation with an ex I'd rather call a roommate. I slapped together lunch real fast and took it on the go. I housed my sandwich on the drive back but spaced and forgot to grab my tea in to enjoy in class.
I ended up being happy that I did, 'cause when I got home I thought it would be a delightful porch hang beverage to end the way with. I made sure to bring my coat. I took some artsy photos. I hopped on my porch swing and stationed up with my things on the side table. I cracked it open and took a big sip.
For now, I'll keep my review a secret.

* You stare at the blank ceiling, the smooth unblemished surface like freshly fallen snow
* you should really put some nudie posters up there or something to lighten the mood a little. 
* Light notes from the piano float around your room
* You sigh, so these are the facts as you know them:
* Edward is your best friend who has occasional bouts of brooding and flirtatious behavior.
* Bella is not albino, she has a lovely peach undertone, and a lovely grilled peach scent
* The entire coven has treated your attraction to this young lady’s blood like you got caught masturbating or wetting the bed or something
* “You don’t need to be embarrassed it’s a perfectly natural feeling.” Esme tells you while rubbing your shoulders
* “We’ve all been there” Rosalie reassures
* “Totally not a big deal, it happens to me everyday!” Jasper chimes in
* You wish sunlight hurt you so you could combust into flames on the spot
* The piano notes get louder, and you feel your mouth pinch into a frown.
* “Oh my god Edward! Read the room, I want brooding music!”
* Edward stops, up until then he had been playing a pretty cheerful Mozart piece
* You can tell he wants to ask why, you’ve been radiating joy non-stop since biology. But he decides against it
* “You really shouldn’t eat lying down.” He says as you sip blood while lying flat on your bed.
* “Okay dad.” You snort
* Edward starts to imagine what it would be like if you called him ‘daddy’
* All needy on top of him, your hands curled in fists against his chest, the breathy “daddy please” that leaves your mouth
* All of a sudden he’s ugly turned on
* “Ugh you’re no fun, I’m going to hang out with Rosalie”
* You leave the room and Edward has a total meltdown, is this what a kink is? Is he discovering a kink?!? At 100 years of age?!?!?!?
* Edward.exe is broken
* You don’t even make it to Rosalie’s room, you can smell them a mile away
* Broccoli, sugar and fat, and axe body spray. No peaches you realize with a sigh.
* They’ve only just barely rung the door bell when you open the door
* “Hey what are you guys doing here?”
* Jessica’s standing in front, looking pretty at ease, while Mike and Angela look equally uncomfortable.
* Makes sense, Jessica’s here all the time now either for homework or to watch TV.
* Mike and Angela haven’t been back since your sweet sixteen
* “How did you get down here so fast?”
* “I saw your car from upstairs” you say with a sheepish smile.
* You wish Alice would have given you a heads up, you weren’t planning on pretending to be human right now. Still you probably look raggedy enough right now in sweatpants and an oversized sweatshirt
* You can probably pull this sick thing off
* “We just wanted to check up on you, I heard from Mike and Angela you got sick during class.” And then in a more annoyed tone Jessica adds “And I guess you’re too sick to respond to all my texts and calls”
* Oh crap, where is your phone.
* You pat your pockets, and think when you saw it last
* “I left it in my locker” you smack your head. You told Edward to go grab your bag from class but you forgot your phone.
* “Hey don’t worry about it, I can get it for you tomorrow if you want.” Jessica rushes to your side and pats your arm. You shake your head
* “No I can get it myself, I’m fine I just ate something bad.” You mumble.
* You’re not missing school tomorrow. You would literally risk murder to smell Bella again.
* It’s not insatiable thirst like described in the books, more like a craving, like someone might have for nachos.
* It itches at you for a while, but if you just distract yourself long enough you can move on
* “Would you like to come in? I think Esme just baked cookies or scones or something.”
* Esme likes to bake for the smell and donate the food to the local shelter. That, or take it for her employees at her architectural firm in town.
* Firm is a loose word, she has maybe four employees, and they get one job a month, but it seems to make her happy.
* Angela and Mike give each other looks but Jessica perks up
* “Is she making those delicious earl grey scones again?” You sniff the air
* “I think she made some of that orange zest butter too”
* “Omg I am so happy you left your phone at school” Jessica giggles walking inside past you, you hear her greet Esme with a squeal
* “They really are good.” You tell them and your remaining human friends enter the house carefully
* “Soooo where is everyone?” Mike asks taking a look around your living room.
* “Ummm Rosalie’s in the garage, Alice is probably meditating on the roof, Emmett’s at swim practice, and Jasper’s probably at the barn.”
* “What about Edward?” Angela asks before Mike can ask about the barn
* Last you saw him he was playing the piano in your room, but it’s been a while since then
* “He’s probably in his room monologuing about the degradation of the American dream or something.”
* You lead them into the kitchen where Esme and Jessica are already deep in conversation about the wonder of her baking
* “-side is so light and fluffy, how do you get the tea flavor though”
* “Witchcraft.” Esme jokes, giving a full smile before putting another tray in the oven. Only Jessica laughs, the other two are too nervous to even sit down
* “Why don’t I teach you how when you come over next week.”
* Yeah you’re pretty sure Jessica is really only a fan of the “eating” and not of the “baking”
* You’re half surprised when she seems happy at the invitation. 
* “Oh that sounds great, I can’t wait for it!” Jessica’s practically beaming
* Where’s Edward when you need him? You wonder what her motivations are. 
* Jasper is not going to like this. He’s already irritated enough that he’s kicked out of his own house every Friday when Jessica comes over to watch arrested development
* Before you can say anything to Esme the conversation moves forward
* “Did you guys hear about that security guard that died in Mason county?”
* She’s just making small talk, you know that. But you and Esme instantly tense at the mention
* Carlisle had mentioned he thought there was a nomad wandering through, they were still far enough not to cause the coven immediate trouble, but anything that brought more attention to them was a disadvantage
* “My Dad says he heard from Chief Swan it was probably a wild animal attack” Mike mumbles over a bite of scone, you figured he would be the easiest to win over with food
* You hide a smile behind your hand, he really is like a golden retriever
* “What kind of a wild animal climbs stairs into a building” Jessica mumbles over another bite of scone. And maybe to fit in, or maybe because she’s always been a nervous eater, Angela takes a bite too.
* “Oh wow, these are really good” she murmurs
* Esme Cullen ladies and gentleman, winning the hearts of teenagers with baked goods since 19XX
* “Well you kids stay safe, stay together if you can.” She pats your head and you nod.
* You don’t know the details of the attack, you get the feeling Carlisle still see’s you as a kid and he doesn’t want to burden you.
* But assuming the small changes that have happened have nothing to do with the large changes, that means Laurent, James and Victoria will be passing through soon.
* Maybe it’s for the best Bella doesn’t get involved with Edward until later.
* You’d really like to not get all mixed up in the whole “James Thing” if you can help it.
* “Are you staying for dinner? I’m thinking of whipping up some pasta, maybe a chicken?” Esme looks to you, yeah you have no idea how she’s going to manage that. Besides the baking basics there’s no actually food in this kitchen. And the one upstairs is just for your blood bags.
* “(Y/N), do you think...Carlisle would mind if we used one of... his chickens?”
* His chickens? The only chickens in the house-
* “No Esme! My chickens are only for love and chicken snuggles” and their blood which tastes very leans yet rich. “Not to eat!”
* “It would just be one-we’ll eat your least favorite!”
* You’re really hoping this is her way of chasing the humans out because she doesn’t want to cook.
* “No- oh my god- we’re going to the diner come on!” You say tugging Jessica and Angela to stand.
* “It was great seeing you again Mrs. Cullen, see you next week!” Jessica shouts as the three of them follow you out.
* “Going out? Is that such a good idea it’s late and a school night.” Edward says as he descends down the stairs
* “Oh my god, yes Dad I’ll be home before my curfew.” You say before leaving, cue Edward crumbling onto the stairs as he imagines you calling him “daddy” again
* “I’m going to hell, I’m definitely going to hell.” He mumbles, his face in his hand.
* It’s a really short drive to the diner, also known as the only place to eat in Forks in the mid 2000’s. 
*There’s not even a McDonald’s. It’s almost sad
* And when you get there, while everyone moves ahead to the table you see a familiar face.
* “Oh, Hey Bella”
* Your eyes met and you figured it would be rude not to say anything. It looks like she’s here having dinner with her Dad. 
*She really does look like her dad, same eyes, same cheekbones.
* “Nice to see you again Chief Swan”
* “Nice to see you too, how’s Carlisle doing? Heard it’s been busy at the hospital.”
* “Yeah, it’s like he doesn’t sleep anymore.” You grin at your own joke.
* “Are you feeling alright now?” Bella asks, she looks genuinely concerned
* “Yeah, I um, made some questionable food choices at lunch.”
* There’s an awkward moment of silence. You get the impression that Chief Swan and his daughter are both the “strong silent” types.
* It looks like they’ve both finished eating already
* If you had known she was going to be here you would have made Edward come with you. 
* “Oh hey, do you want to join us for dinner?” It just seems like the friendly thing to do for the new girl, something on-brand with human character
* Definitely not because if you get on her good side now, maybe she won’t kick you out once her and Edward get married. 
*Father and daughter exchange a glance and the familiar connection they have makes you nervous. 
*“Of course you don’t have to, I know you’re here with your dad so-“
* “I’m sure Bella would love to join-“ Charlie says at the same time Bella says:
* “Wouldn’t it be kind of weird since I already ate.”
* Ah, so they’re not as in sync as you thought. 
* You give your best “Golden Girl - You can totally trust me with your daughter” smile.
* “I’m actually not eating either,” you place a hand over your stomach like a human might. “The uh, Clam Linguine is still haunting me, so I’m sticking to broth and sprite.”
* Why did you say Clam? You don’t even eat meat, it’s how you’ve been getting away with eating so little at lunch. 
* “not a lot of vegetarian choices” You say to your human friends who nod solemnly. 
* Father and Daughter exchange another look likening telepathic communication and they both move to stand
* “I’m going to finish up some paperwork at the precinct, don’t stay out to late.” Charlie says, leaning down to kiss his daughter on the forehead
* You watch with warm eyes and a small smile twitching onto your lips
* Bella is so loved.
* You can’t believe she’s willing to break her dad’s heart just so she can be 19 forever.
* Which, as you are 19 forever, you can fairly say is overrated
* “Hey guys Bella’s joining us.”
* Your female friends offer her a polite smile, you see Angela gaze flick from the menu to Bella’s face. Silently calculating the worth of this opportunity
* Any intel on this new girl would be pretty valuable
* Same old Angela
* Mike sits up straight so fast that he actually knocks his silverware off the table.
* “H-hey Bella, Hi, w-what, what are you doing here?”
* “Eating.” Bella says it so bluntly that you can’t help but laugh.
* Mike flushes bright red and Jessica and Angela exchange a look before giggling.
* “I thought it would be cool if she came over since I didn’t get to talk to her much.” You take a seat next to Jessica and Bella follows by taking the last seat between you and Mike.
* You still catch whiffs of her scent her and there, especially when she’s sitting so close to you.
* But it’s not so bad, the peachy smell is making you a little lightheaded, but you can handle it.
* At least you’re not fantascizing about killing her and everyone in this room like a certain dork you know.
* “Do you guys want to do that promotion where we get the basket of fries for the table?” Jessica asks
* “I don’t like sharing fries with Mike he eats them all.” Angela mumbles
* Yeah you remember last time when after a football game the three of them actually sat down and divided the plate in three equal portions
* They even measured out each fry dividing up the extra long ones 
* “Says the person who basically eats ketchup with a spoon.” Mike retorts and Angela scoffs
* “It’s America’s best condiment for a reason Mike.” Angela snaps back
* “I think we’re getting off track, I say Mike buys us all french fries to make up for all the times he hogged the joint basket” Jessica’s teasing but Mike takes it seriously
* “What so I’m a French fry monster now?”
* “Yes” Both Angela and Jessica respond in unison without looking up from their menu cards
* “What do you think Bella?” You’re surprised that Jessica’s the one asking. You get the feeling she’s not very happy about Mike’s crush on Bella.
* “I think Mike should buy everyone their own basket since he has such a bad history with sharing.”
* “You traitor!” Mike mocks hurt and you all laugh.
* You look at Bella through the corner of your eye, maybe it’s just the lighting but she looks pinker when she’s laughing.
* She looks happy as she starts contributing to the conversation.
* “I will say the pie here is really good, I wouldn’t share even if someone paid me to.”
* “Omg yes, the cheery icebox pie is out of this world” Jessica responds
* “I’m partial to chess pie” Mike pipes in and Angela laughs
* “You guys are crazy, the fruit custard they make is the best”
* You grin as your four new friends argue about the superior dessert, watching Bella laugh beside you.
* Welcome to team human Bella

hq character’s favorite lip smacker flavors
warnings: none, just slight cursing
a/n: wow the way this was one of my best ideas... anyway some of these are kinda repetitive so bare with me 😭
Tumblr media
karasuno
hinata
i feel like hinata would be down for one of the really fruity flavors, like watermelon or mango sunrise. forgets it at home or in your car a lot so you always buy him extra.
kageyama
kags is def giving me the classic strawberry or cherry vibe, like the one that ALL stores sell. they’re the easiest to find and he likes the flavors.
daichi
ok i feel like daichi would use the peppermint flavor a lot, but i can also seeing him use the cinnamon flavor every now and then too, spice things up a little.
sugawara
i can see suga using some of the sweeter flavors, like strawberry as a daily chapstick and maybe sugar cookie when he wants to switch things up.
asahi
mans got the whole berry pack. uses them pretty frequently throughout the day, has a different flavor in different places. like one in his school bag, one in his gym locker, one at home, etc.
tanaka
ok tanaka probably doesn’t use use them that much, but when he does, he fucks w the soda flavors. like coke and sprite.
nishinoya
i don’t even think he knows what lip smackers are....but let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and say he would use one of the sugary ones. like the skittles one.
tsukishima
vanilla. no pun intended. i just totally see him using the vanilla flavor, probably the coconut one too.
yamaguchi
i can see bby using the pink lemonade,,,maybe the cucumber melon too mmmm. applies them a lot.
ennoshita
he uses that lime flavor (i forgot it’s exact name) but that and probably some fruity shit like tropical punch.
ukai
PLEASE. he wouldn’t sell lip smackers at his convenience store so he’s like ?? tf is that babe ?? but, once you show him he’d definitely be down for the rootbeer or coke flavor, he’s a soda man what can i say. BUT i imagine he’d keep it simple most of the time w peppermint. (u also make him start selling them so he ends up trying the fruity flavors~)
kiyoko
god, i wanna say the cherry flavor bc of the mf katy perry song (pls tell me if yk what im talking about) BUT i can also see her using the mint one and the coconut one too. queen has multiple flavors, as she should.
yachi
100% one of the candy flavors, like bubblegum. definitely the cotton candy one too. yachi’s lips always taste good period.
nekoma
kuroo
another cherry chapstick lover, but he spices his shit up with the cherry cobbler flavor. wants to taste good at all times for you~
kenma
doesn't use it often, but when he remembers or you remind him, he'll usually use a fun soda flavor like from the fanta pack,, or even just regular grape.
yaku
giving me grapefruit delight vibes...idk why but he just is. i can see him whipping it out in the lockerroom before practice starts, quickly applying it before any of the other guys come in.
yamamoto
omg ok so i feel like similar to some of the other guys, he’d shy away from using it in front of anyone. but i can see him using the tropical punch flavor ??
lev
tell me lev wouldn’t use the vanilla icecream one...like i can just see it. i feel like he would lowkey take pride in it too, like he knows that shit taste good.
seijoh
oikawa
this mf uses peppermint religiously. but this is oikawa we’re talking about so i think he definitely would have multiple flavors; definitely watermelon, probably chocolate mint, and for sure starburst.
iwaizumi
he’s kinda shy about using them so he sticks to the more lowkey flavors, probably like blue raspberry or kiwi. (pls gimmie a blue raspberry kith haji)
mattsun
i feel like he wouldn’t use it much, but he’d use the lemon drop flavor. loves using it during the winter bc of the weather.
hanamaki
another soda lover. i feel like he sticks to the coca cola flavors, like vanilla and cherry. (i love the cherry one omfg) maybe the root beer one too.
kunimi
bubblegum. that’s it. that’s the flavor. it’s always on him at ALL times. like that shit doesn’t leave his pocket, he once even accidentally washed his pants with it still in the pocket.
kindaichi
mmmm i think he’s definitely a berry guy, likes mixed berry or wild raspberry.
mad dog
yes i just labeled him by his nickname instead of his real name what about it- anyway. why do i think he’d use orange creamsicle on the LOW. like mf HIDES that shit. can never catch mad dog applying mf orange creamsicle chapstick. nope.
fukurodani
bokuto
omg ok bby definitely uses strawberry cheesecake or sour apple. ik they’re like two totally different flavors but, he just DOES. and he’d pucker his lips towards you every time he applies it like “BABY GUESS WHAT FLAVOR MY LIPS ARE” like ok bo c’mere then.
akaashi
he’s a simple man, he enjoys a nice strawberry banana lip smacker on his lips. maybe even pumpkin latte (during the fall of course) bc he’s festive <3
konoha
mans is using the dragonfruit flavor (i forgot if it’s just dragonfruit or if there’s another flavor combined in there) but, he literally just uses that flavor. like idk what to tell you. he just does.
yukie
ok i love her sm, i just know she would have strawberry kiwi and probably strawberry banana too. mmm yummy.
shiratorizawa
ushijima
i feel like kageyama, he would only buy the ones he sees at most stores...so a classic like mango or kiwi.
tendou
ohmygod, mans has a whole mf collection. like first of all, he has the fanta soda collection, obviously. then, there’s the candy pack with nerds, fun dip, laffy taffy, jolly ranchers, etc... he also fucks w any sour flavors. basically, everytime you kiss this man you’ll be tasting something different.
semi
another blue raspberry mf, but also i can see him using the dr pepper flavor LOL....i wanna taste>:(
goshiki
he’s a sucker for the grape flavors, regular of course, grape jelly, grape fanta, etc.
shirabu
mmm i can see him using pineapple. it’s a subtle flavor, but its the one he likes best. i don't think he'd use it all that often tbh, but when he does his lips taste absolutely ~fresh~
date tech
aone
PLSSS i just know mans wouldn't even know what a lip smacker was, would probably just be using normal burt’s bees like most people - till you introduce him to the wide range of flavors that lip smackers have to offer. he'd be like “hm, banana.” LIKE. either THAT or piña colada, he’s really trying for y’all.
kanji
cake donut?? do i have an explanation?? nope. i don’t even know what that would taste like, but i can imagine pretty sweet? just give him a mf kiss.
inarizaki
atsumu
PLEASE. he’d use the strawberry flavor ALL the time. like ok maybe occasionally the vanilla icecream too. but im so soft rn for ‘tsumu’s strawberry lips T_T
osamu
omg he’s such a cheesecake mf i just KNOW, so he’d have the strawberry cheesecake flavor. probably use chocolate moose sometimes too if he’s in the mood.
kita
this is NOT up for debate, he’d 100% use berry pie all the time. kita get ur ass here rn, we’re bouta smooch.
suna
pls bc he’s another one that’d only use it on the low. i’m feeling watermelon,, he’d always apply it before he sees you too.
aran
ooooo i can see him using cinnamon swirl, but also grape on a more common occasion. yummy....
extras
terushima
HHH sour apple for sure. he’d try to put on you all the time so you can taste like him too, he’s like “baby c’mere ;)”
saeko
bitch omg, why can i see her using the cherry cream soda one.... i literally don’t know where she could buy it but she’d fucking have it, like for SURE.
sakusa
STOP bc he’d definitely reprimand you for using lip smackers instead of a brand like ChapStick or burt’s bees. like shut up bitch...but also if you’re persistent like me, then you’ll definitely sneak the lemon drop flavor into his jacket pockets whenever you have the chance. you know it’s his secret guilty pleasure <3

A/N: this is for @todaydreambelieversfic ‘s summer advent (?) “Tan Hands and Tan Lines.” I know i missed a day lol, i completely forgot. this is also my first time participating in any sort of event, and omg ‘judicious’ is a VERY difficult word to start out with! i’ll post this and all the other days i manage to complete on AO3.
Day 2 Side A: Judicious
“You have shoes on?” Blaine asked, stopping their stroll to kick a rogue soccer ball back to a group of kids.
“Of course I do,” Kurt took his eyes off the street in front of him to glance at his boyfriend's toes. “Of course you don’t.”
The sun was just barely peeking out from the horizon, the sky burnt with deep oranges and pinks. Even Westerville sunsets were prettier than Lima’s, Kurt noticed.
Blaine laughed sheepishly beside him, the sound almost as loud as the chorus of crickets around them. Almost. “It feels nice. It’ll feel even better when we get on the grass.”
They were supposed to be downtown, watching a movie at the theatre. They sat through the previews, sipping on soda and eating butter free popcorn (at Kurt’s request). Kurt’s mind wandered from how annoying Tony Stark was to August, and the few days he and Blaine had left actually together. They slipped out from the back of the theatre just after the Marvel logo disappeared from the screen. Mike and Santana had jobs there for the summer, he would cover for them.
That’s how Kurt found himself wandering down the quiet streets of a Westerville suburb with Blaine, hands pressed into his pockets. Blaine had asked him to not hold his hand or ‘do anything too romantic’ until they got where they were going. Kurt was almost offended, but Westerville was even more conservative than Lima was, with almost twice the amount of watchful eyes. And even though he wouldn’t say it, he knew Blaine didn’t want it coming back to his dad that they were being too out and proud in where he lived.
“Are you sure you know where we’re going?” he asked for at least the seventh time. If they were lost, he’d have no choice but to call his dad, and that would open up a wormhole of questions. Kurt really didn’t want to spend his last summer in Lima grounded.
Blaine waited until they got to the stop sign at the end of the street. “Yeah,” he waved his hands as if the question was silly. He chewed on his bottom lip as he made a right. He was jumping over the cracks in the sidewalk. Kurt was dating an absolute dork. Now he knew how Santana felt.
“I don’t want to be murdered on the outskirts of your neighborhood.” Kurt teased, only half kidding. He kicked a rock out of Blaine’s path.
Blaine knocked against his shoulder slightly. “We’ve been dating for a year and you still think I'd kill you?” There was a lilt in his tone.
“You can never be too sure,” he grinned, admiring the two and three story houses along the way. They were all the same, with pools and freshly trimmed rose gardens. The neighborhoods of Westerville seemed like the type to have a neighborhood watch and rulebooks on how long you were allowed to leave garbage cans out for.
They walked in comfortable silence until the sun had set completely and the street lights turned on. There were no cars on the road anymore, and lamps inside houses clicked off one by one. Blaine led them down a road where houses no longer lined the streets, until the outline of his body was only a shadow. This was how horror movies started. Kurt kept checking for a sign of life, in case he actually was about to be murdered in the middle of nowhere.
They made a left and jogged until Blaine grabbed Kurt’s hand and skidded to a stop. “Here we are,” he sing-songed, wincing as he rubbed the reddened pads of his feet.
They stood on the edge of a perfectly manicured lawn, on the backdrop of rolling hills. Fireflies danced around them, covering the grass like a blanket. A brick school
building was placed in the middle of the field, nearly four stories with a tennis court in the rear instead of a playground.
“It’s beautiful,” Kurt whispered, squeezing Blaine’s hand. The streetlamp tinted his skin as orange as the sky had been.
“This is my old elementary school,” Blaine said pensively, rocking onto the tips of his toes.
“The one where you got your first role as ‘Tree number one’ in The Jungle Book?” He should’ve never told Kurt that story.
“You’re never gonna let me live that down are you,” he said in between giggles, wearing that dopey half smile that was reserved for Kurt’s eyes only.
“Nope,” Kurt shook his head and swooped down to meet Blaine’s lips. He hummed in surprise, but grasped at the small of Kurt’s back. His lips were still sweet and bubbly from his cherry slushie.
When they pulled apart, Blaine opened his eyes slowly, kissed to the point of confusion. It took a moment before he yelled, “Come on!” grabbing Kurt’s hands and sprinting down the hill like a child.
Kurt slipped off his shoes and socks as fast as he could, leaving them behind him in the damp grass. Not even a minute before they made it to the base of a hill did the sprinklers turn on around them and then everywhere in a chain reaction.
He shrieked, pulling off his cotton button down and holding it over his head in a desperate attempt to protect his clothes from being soiled any further. Kurt turned to Blaine, expecting him to be doing the same. But he was doing the opposite.
He was dancing.
If you could call it that. It was more of just jumping, moving to the beat of an imaginary song. He lifted his head to the sky and shouted, catching droplets of rain on his tongue. His jeans and striped t-shirt clung to his body in a way that made Kurt blush.
“You’re so stupid!” Kurt called, barely able to hide the smile playing on his lips.
Blaine turned to look back at him. His hair was frizzy and ruined, gel washing out in greasy clumps down his face. “You love it!”
And he did.
Of course there was still the uncertainty of everything; college, the glee club, their relationship. But none of that mattered to him now. If they only had a few weeks before everything changed, Kurt wanted to spend it like this. Rolling down hills and staining his clothes, lying shoulder to shoulder in the grass and naming stars, trading lazy kisses that ended up more of just teeth knocking together.
Truth was, Kurt really liked being undignified with Blaine.
Long after the sprinklers had gone off and their clothes had stuck to their clothes, a pair of fireflies came close enough for the two of them to touch. Kurt cupped one judiciously, careful to not crush the tiny insect.
Blaine’s was crawling up his arm, flickering at the same time as Kurt’s. A heartbeat, they were the only light source around them. Kurt stared at his boyfriend over the greenish haze of the bugs, trying to soak it all in. He was always handsome, but he was especially gorgeous like this, sopping wet and carefree.
“I love you too,” he said after scooping the lighting bug up before it crawled up into his shirt.
Blaine blinked in surprise. Kurt caught a glimpse of the blush that spread over his face when the fireflies lit up again before flying off.
“I didn’t even say anything.” He scooted until he was halfway in Kurt’s lap and pressed a kiss to his shoulder. “I love you too.”

Favorite aftercare scenes?
Oh my god I spent so long thinking about this!! I spent so long thinking about what is considered “after care” and made sure I caught all my favorites and omg I spent so long on this lol.
So these are some of my favorite after care scenes in no particular order. I know I forgot some important ones, I just KNOW it, but this got long so all well lol.
Graceland 3x08. The entire withdrawal scene/ice bath scene is the best caretaking scene ever. The whole team is involved and helps him through it and it’s the best.
Graceland 1x10. The team taking care of Mike after he gets beaten up by Bello in jail while still recovering from a gunshot wound
Graceland 3x02. Mike is home after his near death experience and is sleeping on the couch at night and Briggs brings him his suit cause he can’t go up the steps yet.
Graceland 3x07. Charlie talking to Mike after the disastrous intervention is a great example of emotional after care. She checked in on him and there was crying and just lots of good stuff.
Graceland 1x09. The team bringing Mike flowers and stuffed animals when he’s in the hospital after getting stabbed
Supergirl 2x07. Kara taking care of Mon-El in her apartment after he got shot in the leg. She puts an ice pack on his leg and gets him food and they’re just generally super cute
Supergirl 3x07. Kara holding Mon-El’s hand and touching his face and caressing his hair by his bedside in the DEO infirmary after he returns
Outlander 5x09. Basically the entire episode is full of caretaking/after care scenes for Jamie’s snakebite and it’s fucking beautiful.
Outlander 5x08. The small ways that Brianna, Jamie, Claire, Fergus, and Marsali take care of Roger while he’s suffering from PTSD after his hanging is so good. Like how Marsali plays cards with him, Brianna finds a way to talk to him, etc.
Eureka 3x14. Jo taking care of Zane in the infirmary after he is nearly frozen to death. She brings him all his favorites food and stuff and it’s adorable
911 Lone Star 1x09. It’s short but there’s a scene where Owen is taking care of TK after he’s released from the hospital and it was nice. He’s like “you need a pillow. you look uncomfortable” and just generally fussing and it’s so damn cute.
White Collar 1x10. Peter and Elizabeth taking care of Neal after he gets drugged. They give him ice for his headache and he’s laying on their couch.
Emerald City 1x01/1x02. Dorothy taking care of Lucas both when she takes him off the cross and later when he collapses and is poisoned.
MacGyver 4x03 (original not reboot). MacGyver is in a car accident and the whole episode is this Amish family taking care of him.
Bones 1x15. The hospital scenes for this episode are just A+
Downton Abbey 6x08. That little scene when George brings Thomas an orange after his suicide attempt.
NCIS 2x23 have some great after care scene revolving around Tony getting pneumonic plague. Like how everyone keeps making him lay down and rest. Or when Gibbs hands him McGees food cause he needs to eat.
Hawaii Five-0 1x23. Danny at the hospital and Steve and Grace looking after him
The A-Team 5x13. The final scene is Face back home from the hospital after being shot, on the couch with a blanket over him, and the team is bringing him pizza and looking after him.
Grimm 3x02. OMG this one is so good cause 90% of the episode is the group looking after Nick once he’s no longer a zombie but my favorite scenes are when he’s asleep at home and Juliette is laying next to him, when he’s unconscious after getting the injection and their surrounding his bedside and Juliette is holding his hand, and the scene when he wakes up and they’re all worried about him.
Burn Notice 2x09. After Michael is blown up and thrown onto his car I love the bits where Sam is looking after him like when Michael stumbles and Sam grabs his arm to steady him.
Hawaii Five-0 3x10. Danny getting the bullet removed from his arm by the Aloha Girls troop leader
Grimm 1x08. Every scene once he enters the hospital after getting beaten up! Also that tiny scene when Juliette cradles his body close as he passes out.
Outlander 1x01. Claire taking care of Jamie’s shoulder and bullet wound throughout the episode.
Doctor Who 2x01. When Rose is taking care of the 10th Doctor while he sleeps.
I know I’m missing some Stargate, Leverage, and Hawaii Five-0 scenes but my mind is totally blanking right now.

In honor of season five coming out tomorrow, here’s some head cannons to fuel your soul:
Sato has a separate little pocket of sweets and candy that he gives to kids that’s he saves.
When Ojiro saves little kids they like to cling to his tail and he’ s kind does the monster walk thing, but with his tail.
Bakugo will fist bump kids when he meets them and makes little sparks and stuff
Yaoyorozu always has the little nesting dolls just everywhere. Like if you look in her house and like in her car just like every surface is just coveredin nesting dolls.
Iida loves study dates, but every once in while he would take his s/o on like a picnic date around sunset and you would just watch the pretty colors and then sit around and look at the stars (this one 🥰)
When Todoroki cuddles with people he like, uses his left side a little to make it warm. I also feel like he cools down his pillow with his quirk idk why but I do.
Sero hangs bags of like, junk food from his ceiling. He’ll have like, a bag of Oreos and like, cheez-its just, in bags everywhere (and oranges of coarse)
Kinda cursed but uruaka was a horse girl.
On a more wholesome note she’ll just randomly float her s/o. Like she’ll go in for a hug and next thing they know their floating.
Koda is a really fidgety person. Like he’s always scrunching his shirt or clicking his pen or something.
Aoyama will randomly go up behind you and cover your eyes with his hands and then go “guess who monami/Mademoiselle” and then you’ll turn around and he’ll just have a random rose. I also feel like he really likes turtles. I don’t really know why I just feel. Like he does.
Hagakure jump scares people all the time. Like her class mate (probably Kaminari) will be sneaking snacks at one in the mourning and she’ll just jump out from the corner screaming.
Tokoyami loves shiny things (cause he’s a bird) and sometimes he steals Aoyamas stuff cause it’s all so shiny.
Jirou collects records. She has like a huge vinyl collection and she’ll play them when she dances with her s/o.
Shouji will use his arms like a blanket for his s/o.
Also when he’s saving little kids he’ll scoop them up in his arms and cover them like their in a little cocoon to keep them safe.
Kirishima has a mini shark plushie key chain on his costume somewhere (probably on his waist). When he gives kids high-fives/fist bumps he’ll activates his quirk a little (not enough to hurt them of course) and they laugh and it’s the cutest thing ever.
Kaminari chews on chargers. Like he did it as a kid and he would get in trouble but it didn’t end there.
If Tsu’s saving someone and their scared she’ll tell them facts about frogs.
Shinsou will sit criss cross and his s/o will sit like in the middle and he’ll do that smile (you know the one 😭💕) and (omg this would be so cute I can’t😭😭💕💕💕)
Eri holds Aizawa’s pointer finger cause her hand is so tiny.
Mirio will blow raspberries on his s/o’s cheek
Amajiki fidgets with his s/o’s hair
Aizawa will very rarely let kids play with his scarf
Present Mic sometimes uses his voice unnecessarily at like 3 in the mourning and wake every one up (though he doesn’t always realize he’s useing it)
Cementos has little Cement figures that he makes just kinda laying around
Midnight is a dog person.
Snipe is a plant dad.
All might makes really corney dad jokes.
Hawks wraps you in his wings when he hugs you.
Edit: oh no I forgot Mina! Aliens. Everywhere and she was even full on ready to raid Area 51 (she still wants to)
That’s all I can think of rn if you have more feel free to add them!

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cassian woke up trying to reach for Nesta but instead finding a cold side of bed. He had gone to the rooftop pool with Nesta and safe to say they had a…rough night. He pushed himself up and leaned against the headboard, the bathroom door was open giving him a full view of his fiancé’s back in that pretty white bathing suit. She was putting on mascara, her clothes on the heating rack in the bathroom.
“Where are you going?”
“Starbucks then my old house. It’s about time I cleared that place up.”
He grimaced, the old house as in the villa she grew up in that have reminders of her dead parents.
He started getting up only to have Nesta push him down, “You didn’t get much sleep last night,” She started fixing her bandanna in the mirror, “Stay. I’ll see you later.”
He rolled his eyes, “You didn’t get much sleep either.”
“That’s why I’m going to Starbucks,” She winked and trotted down the stairs leaving.
Well then he could also get Starbucks.
------
She was waiting in the line, scrolling through Instagram not bothering to look behind her. As she got to the front she smiled at the barista,
“Hey could I have-” a hand came around her waist.
“Caramel macchiato, Venti with extra whip, please.”
The barista smiled, “And for you sir?”
Cassian smiled, “me? Well-“
“He wants a Venti iced hazelnut macchiato, no whip and light ice.”
“Names?”
Cassian pinched her waist, “Nessie and Cassian.”
Nesta threw him a harsh look.
They moved along to the end.
“What are you doing here?”
“Helping you clear up your parent’s villa.”
She rolled her eyes.
“You know sweetheart you chug down coffee like its water I don’t think it’s healthy.”
“Shut up Cassian.”
The baristo handed their drinks to them giving Nesta a flirtatious smile which Nesta returned only to piss Cassian off.
Cassian growled.
She pulled him out of the coffeehouse before he could make a scene.
“Did you bring your car?” she asked him, because she hadn’t, she was planning on taking an uber.
He grunted a response she assumed was a yes.
As they got to his car, he opened the car door for her but didn’t look at her. She rolled her eyes.
She got in his black Bentley, as he got in next to her she pressed a kiss to his cheek, “Baby.”
No answer, “Baby!”
“Yes?” He turned, his lips so close to hers.
“I love you.” She pressed her lips to his, it always worked.
As she sat back, his hand went on her thigh.
“Are you sure you should be going there wearing that, babe? I mean as gorgeous as you look, will you be able to move around in it?”
She looked down at her baby blue Bardot tie front and high waist shorts.
“You’d be surprised sweetie.”
As they pulled up to the rustic villa Nesta sighed. Home.
She jogged up to the front door and opened it.
After all the Archeron sisters had moved out with their respective boyfriends and their father…passed the house was left the exact same way. She assumed it was an Archeron thing as after her mother died everything was left the same in her chambers as well.
She sipped her coffee.
“I’ll get started on clearing up the cellar babe, you get started upstairs ok?”
She mindlessly nodded heading upstairs; she had somewhere she needed to go. Something that was begging her attention.
She trotted down the marble hallway into her mother’s second room. The room she didn’t share with her father that she slept more and more in after their marriage was breaking. She went in and gasped. If Nesta didn’t know better she’d think her mother had gone to a party, because the room was immaculate, but still somehow like her mother.
Her mother’s perfume slanted on the table as if she’d just used it, her coat slung over her arm chair, a corner of her duvet folded over.
Her eyes got watery at the jewellery box on her mother’s dressing table.
She opened the box and sighed at the tune playing which she always sung along too and did so now.
“…and when you speak angels sing from above and every word seems to turn into love songs. Give your heart and soul to me and life will always be-”
She broke off at the twin bracelets in the box. She had given it her mother, when she was 13, in the morning for safekeeping because school wouldn’t allow it and forgot to get it back.
White gold chain bracelets with white gold hearts on them. She slid the bracelets on and underneath them, now out in the open from their absence were…pen drives. They had a gold geometric stick.
She giggled at how classy her mother is. Was. Her smile faded.
But what would her mother need to hide in a pen drive in her jewellery box of all places. Footsteps coming upstairs, she slipped the pen drives inside her pocket and closed the jewellery box.
Hands on her waist, lips skimming her neck.
“Clearing up, baby?”
She turned, “I was just about to start.”
“Oh really?” he looked around, “Who’s room was this?”
“My mom’s chambers, her second room.”
“Funny how she left everything for you. You must’ve been her favourite.”
“I was.”
They had countless arguments on this. Him defending Feyre and Elain, her standing her own ground. He was under the impression that Feyre was a villain in her story. She was. And Cassian wouldn’t accept that. He tried to justify Feyre’s actions. Nesta ended up not talking to him for 4 days, because on that topic she never argued for too long, just shut down.
This is why he didn’t push an argument today. She was trying to fix the bond between her sisters. But when the wound is fresh it doesn’t heal as quickly.
She was meeting them tomorrow. Ugh.
At least Cress would be there.
“My heads hurting I wanna go home.” He nodded and led her downstairs. As they got in the car Nesta felt like a hole was burning her pocket.
“Babe you ok?” He asked.
She nodded. Looking back onto the clear expanse of her childhood estate.
“You weren’t wearing those bracelets when we went in. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen you wear those.”
She smiled, “I was getting in the car for high school and mum came out to give me my watch and she said, ‘Nesta jewellery isn’t allowed at school’ so I gave these for here to keep safe and forgot to take it back, she’s kept it safe for 11 years.”
He reached over and kissed her cheek. “They look amazing on you.”
-----
She clicked off her phone and tried to pull her brown mini skirt lower.
“Cresseida says she’s still on her flight from Manhattan. She should be here in a couple of hours.” Feyre and Elain both nodded, Elain stood.
“Want coffee?” Feyre nodded.
“Wait, Elain it’s my house I’ll-” Elain waved her off getting out three mugs. Nesta went and sat opposite Feyre.
“No need to make anything I have a stash of frappe’s in the fridge.”
Elain put the cups away and started picking out flavours.
Nesta took a deep breath.
“So I went to our old villa with Cassian yesterday…” Elain stopped her rattling of the bottles, Feyre sat up, “And I found these from mom’s old jewellery box.” She took out the pen drives.
“Cute. Have you seen what’s in them?” Feyre asked.
“No I thought I’d show you guys as well, just in case it’s a list of bad people.”
Feyre chuckled, “You watch Blacklist too much.”
Nesta rolled her eyes and got her projector out.
Elain came passing around the glass bottles she had topped with whipped cream and red straws.
Feyre gave Nesta a look.
“What? I brought this projector and literally haven’t used it since.”
She plugged it in.
A video started playing.
“Momma I can’t reach!”
A woman came into the shot, picking up the little girl in the middle of the orchid.  
“It’s ok sweetie! Mama’s here.” She picked out the lemons and handed one.
A male voice from behind the camera said, “Nesta look at the camera darling!”
The woman turned showing her pregnant tummy and pointing the camera out to Nesta.
“Daddy I want to pick a lemon.”
The camera was passed onto to someone else and Randolph Archeron ran to Nesta taking her from his wife and placing her behind his head. Nesta picked a lemon and giggled showing it to her mother who was behind her. Adelaide took the lemon from her and went on her tip toes. Nesta leaning back to kiss her mother on the lips.
The video froze for a few seconds.
“Nesta what is-” Elain asked.
“It’s a home video, from when we were younger.”
Feyre glued her eyes back to the wall.
The video changed.
Nesta, Adelaide and Feyre were picking and posing with oranges. Elain holding the camera.
“Smile!!!!” her voice said.
Nesta dropped an orange.
“OMG Nesta!” Elain shrieked, “You’re ruing my shot!”
Nesta picked up the orange, “Ok geez.”
Feyre had started peeling the orange in her hand causing their mother to burst into laughter at Elain’s shriek.
Again another video slid in, a longer one this time.
“Come on Feyre!” Nesta shouted.
“Cominggg.” The camera started running towards Nesta and Elain.
“We were really cute,” Elain said.
Feyre nodded, “I can’t believe she kept these. Where even are we?”
“In Verona I think.” Nesta said.
They were wearing hats too big for their heads.
Elain stopped.
“Dad can I go with you I’m tired.”
Randolph chuckled from behind the camera and held out his hand.
“You were such a daddy’s girl,” Nesta said to Elain.
Elain swiped cream on Nesta’s cheek.
“Get Cassian to lick that off later.”
“Idiot.”
“Come on Fey,” Adelaide picked up Feyre and took Nesta’s hand.
She took their hats off, and held them.
They made their way through the tomato fields into the house. Nesta took the camera from Feyre and ran into the hall. She set the camera down on a counter and started dancing on her own.
“What are you doing Nes?” Adelaide came and picked Nesta up giving her a piggyback; Nesta giggled and clutched her tight.
“She loved you a lot,” Elain looked at Nesta, who was staring at the screen. She didn’t answer, unable to at the longing in Elain’s voice and in Feyre’s eyes. They had always been their father’s child; Nesta had always belonged to her mother. She had stayed with her mother till the end.
Little Nesta in the video said to her mother, “Where’s Feyre?!”
Her mother chuckled, “I don’t know sweetie.”
“Let’s find out, we shall go on a secret mission,” She took the camera off the counter and shoved in her mother’s hands,
“You hold the camera.”
“Oop, ok wait for me,” They ran through the house hiding next to the door look into the kitchen. Feyre had taken out an easel and had started painting.
“Honestly, she’s already started painting, Help me God,” Adelaide laughed at mini Nesta’s sass.
Nesta burst through the door, “Oh Feyre, whatcha doing?”
Feyre looked up and grabbed Nesta, “Good thing you’re here Nes, I needed someone to paint.”
Nesta flicked a lock of hair over her shoulder, “Of course.”
After a few minutes of Nesta fidgeting, Feyre screamed at her to "Sit still Nesta!!" But Nesta kept on looking over at what Elain was doing in the garden.
Adelaide sat down on the kitchen table, the camera jolting.
The video flicked to the next one.
Adelaide was walking up the stairs.
“We seem to have a messy situation downstairs. Proceeding with caution.” She flipped the camera hiding on the landing to show Randolph and his 3 daughters making cookies, Nesta as the first person to notice squealing,
“Momma!!” She ran into her arms smearing her with flour and icing.
“You smell like cookie dough!!!”
Their cookie making continued, throwing flour at each other.
The clip ended. Another one rolled.
“Welcome to our house tour at night.” Adelaide started.
Adelaide started walking through explaining the pictures on the wall.
“There’s me and the girls. Me and Nesta. Randolph with a very tired Nesta. Aw, look at my baby. Nesta with Oliver. Good god if he wasn’t like a brother to her then I would’ve predicted these two would’ve got married.” She laughed, “Well the guy who does get married to Nesta must be a really lucky man. There’s Feyre with her canvas look at her artist in the making. Elain with her flowers that she grew herself, my little gardener!” She moved along to some other picture her voice growing less fond, “Mine and Randolph’s wedding pictures, our anniversary. Lord knows where he is nowadays.” She went quiet, “Anyway let’s check on the little ones the nanny must have put them to sleep.”
She went into a big room, where Nesta was sleeping. The room was light and airy with fairy lights on the wall and Polaroid pictures.
“There’s my baby,” she caressed a hand down Nesta’s face pressing a kiss to her face. Nesta wriggled.
“Goodnight baby.”
She moved into another room, a pink one this time, “There’s baby Elain with her little elf doll.” Elain lay in a plush pink bed in the middle clutching onto a knitted elf doll. Her mother fixed her covers and pressed a kiss to her head.
The next room was covered in with plush toys, the walls covered with stuck on paintings she did at school and at home.
Feyre was still wearing her apron. Adelaide tutted, placing the camera on the desk and holding up a sleeping mini Feyre getting her out of the apron. She put her back to sleep and pulled the covers over her. Pressing a kiss to her forehead as well.
She looked at the camera.
“Can’t wait till they grow up. Hopefully they won’t turn out like me or Randolph. Oh Lord just let them be happy. Especially Nesta. I overheard her telling her teddy that “Daddy doesn’t love her,” I hope she finds someone who does. Who chooses her and keeps on choosing her every day. And this one-” she stroked Feyre, “she should get out from behind that easel every once in a while, just like how Elain needs someone who will be gentle with her as she is gentle with her flowers. I’ll probably show this video to my grandkids, embarrass their mums.” She laughed at the thought.
A door opened and shut.
“Randolph’s here. Let’s find out where he’s been. So bye future and old me and Nesta, Elain and Feyre. I love all of you.”
The video clicked off.
Nesta was toying with her ring. Tears slipping down her face as she knew it was slipping down Elain and Feyre’s. Her mum would have loved Cassian. Well, maybe not at first but…yes she really would have. She smiled at her sisters. Not being able to say anything.  
-------
She had showed Cassian, obviously.
And he’d…well.
He was a fan of their mother.
And then she’d started crying,
“Baby, are you ok?”
“I miss her.”
“well couldn’t we get all those pictures she was talking about in the video and bring it here.”
She hadn’t thought of that, “But the house is in Verona.”
“Book tickets for us tomorrow so we can go the day after.”
She paused for a minute then squealed,
“Baby, baby!! You are the best.” She kissed him deeply.
She broke away smiling mischievously down at him.
“Can we take the yacht?”
She squealed again kissing him even deeper.

change up. | lee chan
inspired by change up by seventeen and grease, yes, the movie (you’ll understand why in a second don’t you worry)
Tumblr media
university au!
nerd!chan x class clown!y/n
-
chan spent his times in his books, in his studies, in ‘always looking in the future’. he never took a break. but towards the end of his senior year of high school, his parents wanted to reward his hard work and studious efforts. it was post-finals, he finished, he got into the university he dreamed of. 
he was free, finally.
so the trip began, his family packed their bags and the road trip to Daecheon Beach from Iksan. chan and his younger brother remained silent most of the ride, chan's brother playing on his phone, occasionally showing chan the new character he unlocked.
"you're going to fry your brain because of those games," chan scoffs, lifting his head up from reading.
"you're going to become evil because of all those scary books you read."
"then, let me."
the two brothers laugh and slowly immerse themselves into their activities and as the sun sets, the two fall into a deep sleep.
four more hours later and the sun began to warm chan's face, they have arrived.
y/n's parents allowed her to pick this year's summer family vacation, her older sister picked last year and her older brother did the year before. they've been to the us, europe, japan but she just wanted to stay home. but her family just didn't allow that so she picked the beach. 
"THE BEACH? Y/N ARE YOU KIDDING?" her sister wasn't here for that, but her brother backed her up, "hey less money spending for us then. we wouldn't need to exchange money, buy flight tickets, bla bla blah."
"exactly." y/n proud of her decision.
"alright, i guess we could go visit my hometown's beach then," y/n's dad shrugs looking at her mother, who was nodding in agreement, "ok, saving money this trip, I like it. we could stay at mom's house then," it was set.
y/n packing her bags, excited to just bathe in the sun, swim, eat her grandmother's food again, this was her trip.
the car ride was absolutely chaotic.
y/n gained the entire back seat to herself with her two older siblings stuck ripping each others' heads off in the middle seats.
"I WILL GIVE YOU TWO MY LAST TWO POCKY IF YOU SHUT UP RIGHT NOW." 
"ok bet," her brother held out his hand as his little sister handed him a strawberry pocky packet and her older sister then received her chocolate pocky.
"thank you," y/n bathes in the silence as she goes back to her drama.
the two met at y/n's grandmother's restaurant. y/n was peeling oranges as chan's family walks in, if you're offered to earn some money on vacation, you take it, y/n dropped the peeler, telling her grandma she can take this table.
chan pushed up his glasses as he looks up at the possibly cutest girl he's ever laid eyes on. she was definitely she was shorter than him, her hair held back in two braids, she kept her pen behind her ear and she looked just like how chan envisions the female characters in the classic novels he reads.
"hi welcome to kitchen by paradise, i'm y/n and i will be your server today and if you have any questions about any items on the menu, i'll be more than happy to recommend you anything! now, could i get you all anything to drink?"
chan's mom ordered water, his dad got a cola, his brother banana milk and chan didn't have a clue.
"and for you?" y/n says as she turns her attention towards chan.
"u-um. um. do-do-o you guys have any specialty drinks?"
"oh yeah! we grow our own oranges so we have a whole specialty of drinks. we have an orange-hibiscus iced tea, an orangeade, an orange-pineapple refresher and an orange mint sunrise."
"could i get the orange-pineapple one? please?"
"of course, that's my personal favorite," y/n smiles and chan could've sworn his heart melted, "i will get those ready for you guys and again, if you guys have any questions, call out for y/n!"
"thank you!" chan's parents chimed in as y/n walks away.
"channie has a crush channie has a crush." 
"i will drown you." chan glares at his little brother as his cheeks began to flush.
chan never knew he could fall so easily, i guess this is what happens when you're not focused on studying instead of girls, but this charismatic waitress got his attention.
chan watched y/n peel oranges and make the drink he had ordered, almost feeling bad because the drink looked so tedious to make. he saw the tray of drinks coming their way as she finishes pouring the yellow-orangey iced drink.
"here we go!" she places the drinks at the table, handing each drink to its rightful owner, "so are we ready to order?"
y/n took everyone's orders and y/n couldn't help but giggle at this nerdy guy stuttering ordering his seafood bibibimbap.
he's cute i can't deny it.
"alright let me repeat your guys' order and i'll send this to the kitchen!"
-
chan's family finished their meals and had left while y/n was on her break, disappointing chan, so he jumped to this opportunity. his 18 y/o heart couldn't believe himself that he left his number for this cute waitress he just met, i mean she probably is a local here and i'm here for the next two weeks.
y/n couldn't believe either. she smiled that that dorky kid thought she was cute, so she saved his number, texting him around sunset.
to orange boy: hey! this is y/n!
to server girl: hi! i'm chan i can't believe you actually saved my number ha
to orange boy: i just had to thank the guy who called me cute and also thinks my favorite drink is good because its our least popular haha
to server girl: thats surprising its rly good omg
to orange boy: so are you free tomorrow?
to server girl: i think my family is just hanging out tmr why?
to orange boy: my grandma is sending me to the market tomorrow to pick up some ingredients and i know you're here for vacation and i know im just a stranger but idk want to explore the coast tmr?
chan couldn't believe it, in his 18 years of his life, he is being asked to go out. with a girl. and she isn't trying to steal his study book.
y/n couldn't believe herself, she just asked a stranger to go out with her.
to server girl: i'm down wanna pick me up?
to orange boy: tmr 12pm i'll bring us lunch 
to server girl: sounds like a plan, so whats your favorite color?
the two spent all night getting to know each other, learning they're the same age, chan was older by a month and a half, y/n's favorite color is every color and said some picasso joke making chan laugh in his hotel room. they both felt like they've known each other for years.
the next day came and y/n packed her backpack and her scooter for the day, writing down the list her grandmother has told her the night before and then sending a text to chan for his address.
"I'M TAKING THE SCOOTER!" y/n yells as she runs down the stairs, "TEXT ME IF YOU NEED ME!"
her family all replying as they hear her leave.
as she makes it to the garage, she ensures she brings the second helmet.
this is a vacation. the wind blowing in her hair as she follows the directions to chan's hotel. her dark blue scooter shimmering in the sunlight and she arrives in front of chan's hotel, rich kid huh?
to orange boy: outside by the lobby!!
chan was already in the lobby for the past ten minutes, didn't want to look like a complete weirdo and come out right when she texted so he waited for a good minutes before walking out. he was wanted to be casual, didn't want to screw anything up with her.
"hey! chan over here!" he walked out seeing the pretty girl from the restaurant on a blue electric scooter? taking off her helmet waving her hand around. he smiled and waved back as he walked towards her.
"this is tomi, my trusty stead," she smiles proudly at her scooter making chan stifle a laugh, leading y/n to laugh at his poor hiding of a laugh, "this is yours, hop on!"
"did not expect this to be the start of my day," he laughs as he puts on the helmet, he gets on the back of the scooter and before y/n turns on the scooter, she grabs chan's arms and to his surprise, wraps them around her stomach, "we're going fast so i don't want you falling off," she turns and smiles at him. what am i feeling right now? butterflies swarm around the two teenagers' stomachs, falling in love before they've even gone out.
"oh o-ok."
and they were off. 
y/n parked the scooter in her usual spot, the noise of the market sang to her and before getting off, she introduces the market, "welcome to daecheon market where old men try to peddle tourists and where local teenagers find the best clothes AND one stand has the BEST fruit produce." 
"y/n i think i should just call you fruit girl because you seem very enthusiastic about them," chan smirks
"i dare you to, orange boy."
"alright fruit girl."
the two laugh as they barely even notice chan's arms are still around y/n, y/n begins to take off her helmet right before she bumps chan in the face with her helmet.
"OH MY GOD! i am so sorry chan oh my god im sorry oh my god i-"
"y/n its ok really," chan laughs at her worried look, "i'm all good no bleeding see?"
"alright im still super sorry i kind of forgot i had a passanger with me," she nervously laughs, im such an idiot what is wrong w me wtf y/n
chan hops off and helps y/n down, "thank you, sir," y/n bows.
"you are very welcome madam," chan bows back, leading them both to laugh once more because of their dorkiness.
"here hold this," y/n opens the scooter compartment and hands chan a camera, "thats my prized possession, keep it safe." she pretends to glare at him but ending up laughing anyways, "you're on picture duty and i am on food duty," y/n pulls out a picnic basket and a large water bottle, "before we explore lets eat!"
y/n leads chan down to a secluded area next to the market, "my siblings and i love coming down here and eating lunch and playing ball. its our secret hideout, and you are a new member of paradise cove, mr chan."
"i'm honored," chan couldn't believe how comfortable he felt around her, a stranger that he had a very long text conversation last night about their favorite colors and whether or not aliens exist. y/n couldn't believe either. why did she feel so bubbly around a kid she met on the job at her grandmother's restaurant?
chan helped her put out a small picnic blanket from the basket and y/n began to pull out the food, “so i remembered your order from the other day and grandma pulled through and made some more this morning and a special touch, an orange-pineapple refresher. dig in!”
-
their picnic was nothing but boring, time passed so quickly while they talked more about the city and high school and where they want to go for univerity, and what they want to be. a convesation nether of the two have had with another human being. they both took some pictures while they were at it, y/n always doing some silly pose when chan had the camera and chan always looking away from the camera. they were comfortable with one another. 
“so, let’s explore the market shall we?” chan standing up, offering his hand to her, she was hesistant at first, “come on y/n i don’t bite,” he laughs, looking away. feeling odd with  his hand out for so long, he looks back at her smiling this time, “i’m feeling a cramp coming on”
standing up, she grabs his hand and pulls him close to her, both of their faces flushed now. y/n had NO idea what she was doing, “can i?” she looked at his lips and then back up at his eyes, prepare for any reaction
“yes,” once y/n heard his answer, his hand caressed the side of y/n’s face and pressed their lips together, almost melting into the kiss. y/n felt her cheeks burn up, the kiss lasted a few seconds but felt like an eternity. pulling away, the two laughed with their eyes closed and foreheads pressed against each other, “so the market?” y/n slowly opened her eyes, seeing the flustered boy in front of her interlocking their hands together.
“i thought you were the romantic,” he smiles back.
-
two spent nearly everyday together. y/n told chan she didn’t live in daecheong, they both knew they were both on vacation and the day one of them was leaving was soon appoarching them. “what will you do without me?” “cry.” “shut up chan” “you asked i answered~!”
chan didn’t want to believe but neither did y/n. their two weeks was up, y/n helped chan pack. “are you really going to cry?” “y/n you’re my first kiss, my first love, my first crush, the first girl that actually has gotten my attention so what do you think?” “now, you’re going to make me cry.” she pouts “y/n you have my number, i have my license, you have a kickass scooter. we have ways to still see each other even if that means our universities are miles apart, we can do this.”
-
to orange boy: i miss you
they couldn’t do it. the long distance lasted about a month and then school started.
to server girl: i’m sorry
chan was at yonsei university and back to his old ways. head in the books, no partying no social interaction just studying. this physical therapy major wasn’t moving an inch.
now, what chan didn’t know was y/n was ALSO at yonsei. this visual arts major was the biggest party animal on campus. she ruled frat parties and she was a good students. her professors loved her and her charm.
- ten months later -
HALLOWEEN
“CHAN! you have to come dude!” chan’s roommate, xuxi, begs him. xuxi was the polar opposite of chan, same age same major COMPLETELY different social class.
“no ‘xi for the last time, i’m not a party guy.”
“chan please dude, its a costume party, nobody will know its you.” chan began to consider it, when was the last time i had fun?
“what are you dressing up as?”  “i’m going to be capt. american because im going as the avengers with mark and the other guys. if you don’t want to be recognized then wear a mask, be a masquarade ball dude? idk wear a suit and a mask, be that DUDE”
“i’m in.” here we go lee chan
to server girl: finally going out with the boys for the first time hope you’re well i miss you
y/n read the text almost immediately, “i wonder where he’s going?”
“who?” y/n’s roommate jungeun asled as she’s doing her makeup.
“some summer fling, he just texted me after like three months.”
“he’s more than a summer fling hon if you saw his text so fast.”
“shut up”
“kiss me,” jungeun stuck her tongue out at her, “so what are you dressing up as y/n?”
“poision ivy, mark said they’re going to be the avengers and so i’m showing him up and being dc’s sexiest villian.”
“you’re such a heartbreaker miss y/n let the boy breathe, he may have cheated but-”
“but nothing! he treated me like a one night stand and i wanted more! im going all out!”
-
chan looked at himself one more time in the mirror and xuxi walked behind him in his captain america outfit, “my son you look so fucking good,” pretending to tear up
“shut up,” chan rolled my eyes, sitting back down on his bunk, “should i still go?”
“YES! you look good dude! can’t even recognize you, you look so different and the contacts? you’re really hiding your identity with this one channie.”
“this is the only night we get to be other people so,” he puts on his lacey masquarade mask he bought from target, ‘let’s go.”
xuxi wraps his arm around him, “LETS FUCKING GO!”
-
“MISS Y/N YOU DID THAT HONEY!”
jungeun and y/n nearly in shock of how well this costume curves around her body.
“green is your color girl,” jungeun sighs, “you knock them dead baby.”
“you look amazing yourself j OMG ms daphne over here.”
“I’m finding my fred tonight ok?” she smiles as she ties her scarf around her neck.
y/n places her red mask on, “i’m heading out!”
“HANG ON!” y/n was practically out the door before jungeon runs out, “ok ready.”
“let’s go fuck shit up.”
-
the party was everything chan was not used to, drinking, loud music, people EVERYWHERE, you could say he was slightly overwhelmed. 
you could say he also wasn't used to the attention around him, girls coming up to ask if they wanna hook up or take a shot with him which he declined all of them until she walked in.
ms poison ivy walked in.
it was about 30 minutes after the party started and y/n walked in like she owned the place, jungeon next to her, y/n walked in red heels and green latex in its full glory.
"i'll go get us drinks!" jungeon pracatically screams in y/n's ear.
"OK!" now alone, chan saw this as an opportunity, still not knowing who that was or even who he was in this moment he walked up to her.
"hi!" y/n was drawn back but the handsome stranger in front of her
"HI!"
"I THINK YOU LOOK REALLY PRETTY!"
"THANK YOU! I THINK YOU LOOK PRETTY HOT YOURSELF! LET ME GUESS, a VAMPIRE?"
the music got increasingly louder as this conversation went on so chan yelled back, "NOT EXACTLY, IM A MASQUERADE BALL HOST"
y/n felt eyes beaming her up and down and she saw him, mark, and before he could come any closer, y/n kissed this handsome stranger in front of him.
chan had no idea what was going on but he really didn't care anymore, this kiss began to be a full makeout session in the middle of the dance floor.
"IM SORRY BUT DO YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE?"
"YEAH I DO ACTUALLY"
 both of them walk out of the loud frat house, "so who do i owe this honor to mr masquerade man?"
"chan, i'm chan. how about you?"
"i'm sorry did you say c-chan?"
y/n hasn't heard that name in what feels like ages until today.
"yes? is something wrong?"
was it really him?
"no its just i knew someone named chan awhile back, ha." she sadly smiled.
it can't be him chan was never this bold.
"ah i see, how about you ms poison ivy?"
"y/n"
"y/n huh?"
"yes, what about it?
"do you still have that blue scooter?" chan takes off his mask and turns to face the girl he's been wondering about for so long.
"c-chan?"
"long time no see huh?"
"i-i-i didn't even recognize you? where're your glasses? did you get your braces off too? your hair's lighter, you look really good, chan," she sighs in disbelief.
"college does stuff to you i guess," he nervously rubs the nape of his neck, "and you? wow. i didn't think someone could look so gorgeous in latex." he smiles all goofy.
"chan."
"y/n?"
pulling herself into his chest, "i've missed you, im sorry for being an asshole, im sorry for saying those things i shouldve held on im sorry im-"
"nothing is your fault y/n, look at me," he pulls her out of his chest, "i'm here now! we just needed time i guess," he lets out a small laugh.
"now you're the jokester mr lee."
"lets restart. hi im chan."
"hi im y/n," she smiles and takes his hand in hers, "lets never leave again."
"yes ms poison ivy."
“never call me that again.”

‘Wake up, lovebirds! It’s Christmas baby!’
The last thing Dick wanted to hear first thing at 7am on Christmas morning was Jason’s obnoxious voice followed by loud thumps at the door. Thankfully however, soon enough his quiet pitter patter of footsteps were disappearing down the hallway. Those early training sessions that accustomed them to early mornings felt like a mistake right then. Especially considering the dull ache that pulsated at his temples; the several ghosts of the beers he’d had the previous night haunting him severely.
He let out disdainful groan, rolling over to his side and was immediately met with Kory’s sleepy smile. The calmness that settled over him was jarring and unsettling as he gazed at her. Even so early in the morning and jostled from unconsciousness, she still affected him like no one else ever had.
‘Good morning.’ Her voice was husky and low with sleep and so, so spellbinding.
But there were a minimum of three teens waiting for them in the living room. So, instead he greeted her with a soft ‘ ‘Mornin’ ’
‘Merry Christmas.’ Her smile widened, lackadaisical and laced with drowsiness.
She looked so content and adorable that he couldn’t help himself and the next thing he knew he had his lips pressed against hers, swallowing the surprised gasp she let out. But then she melted into him, threading her fingers through his hair and sending sparks of warmth all over his skin. But Dick reminded himself that there were people waiting for them and he pulled away from her, lifting his hand to cup her cheek, wanting to keep the contact he craved.
‘Merry Christmas. Are you ready for today?’ He asked, to which Kory let out a humorous snort.
‘It’s only Christmas Day, Dick, it’s not like we’re going to war or anything.’
‘Trust me, after spending the entire day with Jason and Gar together, you’ll feel like you did.’
Kory’s laughter burst out of her in a short, loud chortle prompting a wide smile from Dick. He didn’t think there was a time that he loved her more than when she was carefree and untroubled - just allowed to be herself. He leaned forward to capture her lips yet again but this time kept it short and sweet before he shuffled to the side of the bed and got up to make his way to the shower.
He threw a glance back at Kory to find her scrutinising him with an impish glint in her eye. Again the corners of his mouth lifted as he turned to face her, leaning on the doorframe of the bathroom.
‘Why’re you looking at me like that?’ He questioned, knowing exactly why she was looking at him like that.
‘Oh, just thinking about how much water we would save if we showered together. Save the planet and all that.’ She elaborated, sitting up onto her elbows.
‘Oh right,’ He feigned shock and folded his arms. ‘Well then, I guess for the good of the planet we have to don’t we?’
Kory chuckled loudly as she flew out of bed and past him into the bathroom, getting rid of her button up pyjama top along the way.
-
Dick emerged from his room to find Christmas music blaring from the stereo in the kitchen, Dawn, Rachel and Donna singing along as they prepared what appeared to be a feast of breakfast foods - eggs, bacon, hash browns, sausages, a selection of fruits; anything that was considered acceptable for breakfast was littered across the kitchen island and dining table.
‘Wow, you guys went all out didn’t you.’ He remarked.
‘Hell yeah, it’s Christmas man. When else would we get the chance to go all out.’ The reply didn’t come from either of the women but from Jason who sat next Conner and Gar  who were playing some car game on the tv. Hank, who was also sat next to them rolled his eyes at him before continuing faffing about with something on his mobile.
‘Um excuse me, there’s no we here except for us three. You guys just played video games all morning so I don’t wanna hear about this collective ‘we’ ok?’ Rachel said drably.
‘Hey, I helped!’ Gar protested, dropping his controller to the side.
‘I don’t know if I would call chopping fruit for 10 minutes entirely the same but it’s definitely more than Jason so I’ll thank you for that.’ She retorted, flipping a pancake.
‘Listen, no one here wants me to help with any kind of cooking for all our sakes, alright?’ Jason defended himself sliding down the sofa and throwing his arms behind his head.
‘Where’s Rose?’ Dick asked, glancing around the room for the silver haired girl. 
‘She’s still asleep.’ Hank replied, rolling his eyes again. 
‘Yeah, well I still need the sleep, I’m a growing girl. Unlike you, old man.’ Rose retorted as she shuffled into the living room to flop herself onto the sofa next to Conner. As much as she protested it when Kory picked it out, she still managed to wear the Home Alone themed Christmas jumper that Kory had picked out and matching fuzzy socks; obviously not wanting to ruin things for everyone else.  
‘I’m not old! At most I’m a cool uncle you little brat.’
Dick watched as they continued bickering, a small smile danced on his lips as he felt his heart grow warm with fondness. It was rare to see them just acting like teenagers, arguing over something so trivial and stupid without being plagued with life threatening problems. His smile only broadened when a pair of arms slide across his sides and wrap around his waist, his body coming alive with the action. He spun around and was taken aback immediately, laughter threatening to bubble its way out.
Everyone was wearing some variation of Christmas jumper, by request of Kory herself, who quote unquote wanted to make the day ‘as Christmassy as possible’ but nothing could have prepared Dick for her own Christmas outfit. She wore an oversized green jumper, a shade that complimented her eyes but in the middle of the jumper was a Christmas tree flashing bright with lights and dotted with giant baubles that seemed to have every one of their faces stuck to each of the baubles, paired with a metallic gold mini skirt and stripy red and white tights.
‘Kory, what the hell are you wearing?’ He asked incredulously.
‘D’ya like it?’ She pulled it down and the baubles jingled as she did. ‘I bought it and then Gar helped me modify it.’ She looked up at him with a giant grin that was impossible not to return.
‘Babe, it looks ridiculous.’ He stated, finally letting out a small giggle.
‘I happen to think you look great, Kory.’ Donna called from her place in the kitchen.
‘Thank you, Donna. At least someone appreciates my hard work.’ She huffed, crossing her arms as best she could over the baubles.
‘Yeah, Dick why’re you hating on Kory’s awesome jumper.’ Rachel added, stirring the pot even further.
‘Hey, no ganging up on me on Christmas! I never said it looked bad, just ridiculous.’ He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her to him. ‘Ridiculously adorable.’ He professed before pecking her on the lips.
‘Ughhhh, gross you two. Get a room.’ Jason groaned but was immediately quieted by the orange Dick grabbed from the bowl on the side table and threw at him, inducing a laugh from everyone in the room.
‘What do you guys need help with?’ Kory questioned before detangling herself from Dick’s arm.
Donna began to give her instructions on what to do as she replaced Dawn in the kitchen who came to stand next to Dick, leaning her hip to bump into his.
‘You okay?’ She enquired. ‘I remember how tough Christmas is for you.’
‘Sure, I’m okay. How could I not be?’ He answered.
‘Good, I’m glad. I just wanted to make sure, you know?’
‘No need, I’m good. I’ve got everyone I need in this room; safe and happy. It’s impossible to be miserable.’ He declared honestly. ‘Plus Bruce is coming later after he ties up some business in Gotham, so the whole family will be here.’
He meant it slightly sarcastically but on some fundamental level he knew these people really were his family. Lost souls who floated aimlessly until they gravitated towards each other, who would then on be forever stuck in each other’s orbit. He thought it the thought would terrify him, another family he could potentially lose but no. Instead he was filled with such joy and love that he thought he would combust with it.
They were his family now, no matter what happened.
