Bruno never went into the walls, modern au.
Tia Elena saves the day this time,
@prophetic-hijinks thanks for the oc privileges I won't let you down.
Game day
"Are you and Tio bruno coming to my game tonight?" Isabela asked Elena as she braided Isabela's long hair.
"We wouldn't miss it for the world, and if it weren't for your sisters having to have surgery today you parents would be there too, and Pepa and Félix would be there if they didn't have parent teacher night at Camilo’s school and dolores is leaving for a competition in Bogota this weekend," Elena told the girl. Isabela was 13 and she knew that unless they couldn't her entire family would be at her volleyball game tonight. She hated that most if her family had to miss it, but she was happy her tia and tio, would be there.
"Do you think Mirabel’s and Luisa's surgeries will go OK?" Isabela asked.
Luisa had torn her ACL in a basketball accident, and Mirabel had to have her tonsils removed due to continual complications with infections.
"They'll be perfectly fine, I know the doctor that'll be doing mirabel's surgery, we went to high school together and from what I heard from her the surgeon fixing Lulu up, is her bestie from med school." Elena told Isabela as she packed her game day bag.
"Come on mi flor, we don't want you late to school," Elena told scooping isabela off the floor and throwing her over her shoulder.
"Ok tia," Isabela's laughs as she was sat down to grab her bags.
"Can we take the Jeep today?" Isabela asked, knowing her tia only drove her jeep for special occasions or trips to the city.
"Sure we can mija, but don't tell your tio, he'll get jealous that you got to ride in it," Elena told getting a good laugh out of isabela.
"Dolores? Are you ready to go mija?" Elena called
"Not yet, I just got my period I need a second," Dolores called from the bathroom.
"Ok," Elena said.
"Tia Elena, why haven't I got my period yet?" Isabela asked sadly.
"Well, from what your tio has told me your mamá got her period when she was about 12, so you should get it soon, but it could happen at any time, you could be fourteen when you start. It'll happen when your body is ready," Elena explained as the pair waited for Dolores.
"Ok," isabela nodded happy with her new information.
"Ok I'm good now," dolores said picking up her school bag and her suitcase, since she was going to be gone with her dance company for a weekend competition in Bogota.
The three walked outside and dolores started to head toward the van.
"Jeep today mija. Isabela wanted a ride before her game against Bogota today," Elena said
"Sweet," dolores said walking over and tossing her bags in the back.
Isabela followed suit and the pair hopped into the backseat. Elena climbed into the driver's seat, and off they went.
"Dolores, did you remember the note you need to give to the office about your dance teacher picking you up for competition?" Elena asked dolores
"Si, it's in my folder," Dolores said.
"You both have your phones?" Elena asked
"Si, tia," the pair said
"Dolores, did you grab some tampons before you left? Or do you need some pesos to buy some?" Elena asked
Dolores seemed to think for a moment,
"I need a few pesos to buy some. I had my bag packed already and didn't think about it," dolores said
"Alright mija, when we stop, I'll give you ten pesos," Elena said
"Gracias tia," dolores thanked
"No problem mija, us chicas gotta stick together," Elena said.
"Alright you two, go on, I'll see you tonight isa, good luck at competition Lola," Elena said handing back some money to dolores.
"Thanks tia, I'll see you Sunday" dolores said climbing out
"Thanks tia," Isabela said climbing out behind dolores as the pair grabbed their bags and walked into the middle school.
"C'mon isa we have to get to algebra," Dolores said as isa jogged to catch up with her as they met back up after their electives.
"I'm coming Lola," isa said.
During math, Dolores was called to the office to leave early, as expected. Leaving isa to get through the last half of math class, and survive history on her own.
Isabela hated history, not for the fact that it was boring, but her teacher, Mr Evans. He didn't like her at all, he would ridicule her clothes, give her a week of detention for whispering to Dolores to see her notes so she could copy down the bits she didn't get. And he loved Dolores, he'd compliment her clothes and hair, and wouldn't say a word if she ever whispered to isabela.
When she entered the classroom, Mr Evans asked the class as he took attendance,
"Has anyone seen Dolores today?"
"She left during math for a dance competition in Bogota this weekend," Isabela answered, Mr Evans gave her a glare but said
"Very well,"
Isabela had just about had enough of Mr Evans by the time class was almost over.
Just get out of here and meet up with Ava and Reina.
Isabela thought.
Finally the bell rang and she left the classroom as quickly as possible.
"Hey isa, what's up with you?" Reina asked as she saw the raven haired girl approaching them fast with a murderous look.
"Mr Evans is a inseguro egoista hijo de puta," isabela growled
"Bad day without Lola?" Ava asked
"Si, he not only decided that my outfit made me look fat, but he also didn't like that I was the only one in the class that knew where Lola was. And then he starts going on a whole rant about something stupid. At that point I was boiling so I didn't pay attention to him."
"Yep, he seriously needs to be fired, the first day of class he chooses his favorites and his targets, and his targets get the brunt of his frustrations with the class even if they're excellent students like you," Reina said.
"Anyway, before your blood can boil more, let's go practice some serves before tonight's game, we're up against some serious competition," Ava said.
"Spike it isa!" Ava yelled.
Isa watched as the ball came up and toward her, she jumped up and spiked it over the net, where ava who was practicing her pancakes, saved it.
"Nice one A," Isa said walking under the net to high five her friend and teammate.
"I could say the same for you Jacaranda," Ava said, since Isa had flower powers, Ava likes to call her by flower names, and honestly Isabela doesn't mind it.
"Come on girls, time to get some dinner before the game," Ava's mom called them
"Coming señora Perez" isa called.
Back at casita, Elena was getting ready with Bruno for the game. Pepa being Pepa, pestered them before having to get dressed for the parent teacher meeting later that evening.
"How was Lola this morning Elena?" Pepa asked sitting on a stool near Elena's vanity table
"She was fine, I did give her ten pesos though, she forgot to pack tampons in her dance bag and needed to get some when she got to Bogota. She started this morning before we left." Elena told
"Dios mio, she has a white costume for this competition." Pepa gasped placing her hands over her mouth.
"She told me she was gonna try to get her friend Maddie to swap costumes with her since Maddie had one of the black costumes for the dance." Elena said easing pepa's nerves,
"And even if she couldn't swap, she knows how to take care of herself so she doesn't leak," Elena said as she applied her mascara.
"You're right Lena," pepa said
"mierda," Elena breathed as she clutched her right side.
"You ok? Do you need juli?" Pepa asked, concerned.
"I'm fine, it's just a cramp, and... there's the blood," Elena cringes as she got up and scurried off to her and Bruno's shared bathroom.
"I know how you feel, I woke up covered in blood," Pepa said
Elena emerged from the bathroom in a emerald green rose and headed to her dresser to grab some clean underwear.
"Best investment ever, I swear Pepa, I'll have to pick some up for you and Juli when I go to Bogota again," Elena said
"What's so special about a pair of underwear?" Pepa asked
"They're period proof, they're called Knixwear, and for me, since sometimes I don't have time to change my tampons before they leak they've saved my butt a many a time. Plus the brand makes teen ones too, I'll have to get Dolores and isa some for their birthdays,"
"I definitely need some of those, I can't tell you how many times I've stained my underwear from a leaky tampon. How'd you find out about them? " Pepa asked
"Friend of mine, her daughter showed them to her because she found them while underwear shopping on Amazon. I looked into them and I've sworn to them ever since," Elena told as she emerged from the bathroom in just her black underwear and green bra.
"I bet the girls will appreciate them, Dolores surely will, she complains every time she gets a stain."
After forty five minutes of them talking it was nearing 6 and the game starts at 6 30.
"Come on brunito," Elena called as she stuffed a few tampons and pads into her purse.
"Coming amor," bruno said grabbing the keys to his truck.
When they got to the game, the teams were practicing before they started.
The game went back and forth in fierce competition, until they took a five minute break.
Isabela had her back turned to Elena and if Elena wasn't looking at isabela she wouldn't have noticed the red patch right under Isabela's rear, on her wite competition uniform.
Elena saw someone point the spot out on the court and isa bolted. Bruno turned to Elena after watching Isa bolt.
"Should we go check on her?" He asked
"I'll go, you stay here," Elena said
"Ok amor,"
Elena knew tossing a few pads in her bag would come in handy,
She went to the bathroom near the gym remembering isa seemed to be running that way.
"Isa, are you ok?" Elena asked as she entered, hearing quiet sniffles.
"No, I just got my first period in front of the whole school," isabela said
"Bela, it's barely noticeable," Elena said in attempt to comfort her.
"I can't play in bloody shorts tia, what am I gonna do?"
"I have a pad for you to use, and I brought your extra shorts with me since, you have a tendency to rip your shorts during a play, as your mama told me,"
"Really?" Isa asked hopeful
"Si mija, now get changed, they're getting ready to start again." Elena said
"But the other team saw the stain, what if I get teased for it?" Isabela asked second guessing going back out to play.
"Are you gonna let some comments stop you or are you gonna win this game for the mariposa volleyball team? You're unstoppable isa, I've seen you, don't let this little hurdle get in your way." Elena said as she passed isa the shorts and pad
"You're better than some girls who want to tease about something that happens to them too, embrace it, it's life. Now go show those girls what you're made of bela boo," Elena said as Isabela finally emerged with her bloodied shorts in hand.
"Thanks tia, you're the best ever!" Isa exclaimed giving her aunt a big hug.
When Elena returned to Bruno she filled him in on the goings on, and he texted julieta.
Julieta
Did isabela get hurt during her game?
No but something did happen
What happened Bruno
Isa got her first period
What?!!!
Don't worry Elena had her back, and she's currently kicking Bogota's butt.
I'm still at the hospital with mis niñas, will you take her out to celebrate after the game and ill celebrate with her over the weekend.
Course hermana, how are the girls doing?
Mirabel is sleeping, and Luisa is medically high as a kite because she's still coming off the anesthesia, but their surgeries went well, they took Mirabel first and when they wheeled her out after, I told Luisa to climb into the bed, and then after a four hour delay due to a car crash related emergency surgery, Luisa went under after mirabel’s anesthesia wore off really well, when they came to get Lu she and Mirabel were watching minions in their shared room.
Give mira a big hug for me for being such a brave niña, and when Luisa comes back to earth tell her I love her too
Ok hermano, I love you, the girls and I should be home tomorrow afternoon.
Ok
Bruno shoved his phone in his pocket as he watched isabela pancake to save the ball after a Bogota girl spiked it.
After the game Bruno and Elena took Isabela to celebrate her first period and that awesome save right at the end of the game.
"Great job mija, we need to head across town to the strip mall to get you some pads that aren't so long. And while we're there we can get you something to celebrate this huge milestone in your life," Elena told as she turned the key in the ignition hearing the truck roar to life.
"Can I get some stuff for my room?" Isabela asked
"Of course mija, what are you thinking," Elena asked
"Plants, some little shelf trinkets and maybe a new set of sheets," isa answered
When they arrived at the strip mall. They entered the large department store.
Elena explains which pads isa needs and places them in the shopping cart.
Bruno went to look at the toys nearby, wanting to buy Mirabel something for being so brave for her surgery. Elena and isabela had wandered over to the bedroom things. Picking up a couple plants as they went, they went to the bedding section choosing a nice leaf patterned bed set for isabela.
They paid for their things and left. To get some much needed sleep after Isabela's game and first period
The next morning isabela mostly stayed in her bedroom riddled with cramps she didn't even notice yesterday.
"How are you feeling Florecita?" Elena asked bringing isabela hot chocolate, with a seven year old camilo clinging to her back as she did so.
"Like I've got a cactus underneath me," isabela groaned from her position lying on her stomach. The back of her favourite pyjamas visible from under her blanket.
"I brought you some midol and hot chocolate mija, why don't you come to mine and your tio's room, we can talk and I can let you borrow my heating pad to help." Elena suggested trying to get isa out of her bedroom.
"Ok, can you get my pyjama pants from my desk por favor, I kicked them off last night, I got too hot."
Elena retrieved the Harry Potter themed pants, and turned around letting isabela pull the pants on. Isabela stepped up beside Elena when she had her pants on, and she supported her mug of cocoa.
"Camilo, can you go downstairs to breakfast with tio bruno, I hear tio bruno has made some special waffles just for you," Elena said getting the boy off her back letting him run downstairs.
"Now that it's just us, how are your first period cramps?" Elena asked as she guided isabela to her bedroom.
"My entire body hurts, and I feel like my stomach is tied in a knot." Isabela said
"Ooh, painful. I know how you feel, do you want anything to eat?" Elena asked
"Not really, Im not hungry," isabela answered
"You sound like me on my period, I lose my appetite for the first two or three days, then I eat everything on day four then by day five I'm back to normal. You may be different though," Elena said, a slight chuckle following.
"Tia? How do you know how to do all this?" Isa asked
"Do all what mija,"
"How do you know how to make me feel less weird and embarrassed about this, plus you cheer me up too, how do you do that?" Isa elaborated
"I volunteered at my old orphanage for years before I met your tio and moved here to settle down. Lots of the girls that were there trusted me the most and so I did a lot of talking to them and just picked up a few things from my experience with them," Elena explained, "have you got any more questions mija,"
"Do you have any stories from when you got your period?" Isabela asked.
Elena blushed this was gonna be a long funny and embarrassing afternoon.
When Julieta came home she was carrying mirabel, who was sleeping soundly on her shoulder. Luisa following behind on some crutches. Everyone seemed to be quiet. Camilo was watching cartoons with Bruno Agustín and Felix, Dolores was at a dance competition in Bogota, and Elena pepa and isabela were nowhere to be seen.
"I'm going to my room mama," luisa said.
"Ok amor, I'm going to find your sister and Tias" julieta told as she helped Luisa upstairs, with further assistance from their casita.
Julieta walked with Luisa so she could check Isabela's room, where she found an empty unmade bed.
She quickly laid Mirabel in the nursery on her bed before heading off to find Isabela.
She walked past pepa’s room and checked her brother's room first, where before she opened the door she heard Elena tell Isabela.
"Oh my God, I got my period at a pool once, a little piece of advice for you don't buy a white bikini, it always ends in disaster. Whether that disaster be your period, or the fact that when white gets wet, it's see through,"
A quiet knock and she could see her hermana cuñada and hija, sitting on the large bed laughing about Elena's myriad of period stories.
"Mind if I join you three?" Julieta asked announcing her presence.
"Mama!" Isabela smiled as she flung herself toward julieta, she was still small enough for julieta to pick her up with ease.
"Hola mi corazón, congratulations on your first period, how are you feeling?" Julieta asked as she sat on the bed with isabela in her lap.
"Better since tia Elena gave me the midol and told me her first period story and all of her embarrassing stories,"
"Good" julieta smiled
Hope you enjoy ❤
I hope I did Elena justice in this @prophetic-hijinks

What do you think of Dottore?
I don't like him at all. The whole experimenting on kids thing is a big no-no for me.
But his character is made to be disliked, so they did do a good job on that.
What I hate the most is the whole "Dottore r@ped Collei" theory, for which the is NO proof whatsoever. People in the genshin community be pulling theories out their asses this days 🤦‍♀️

Click here for the rest of the series
Tumblr media
It's the early hours of the morning, the sun has just risen and you're out in the back tending to the garden. You bring the mornings harvest into the kitchen and greet your aunt and uncle, both sitting down at the small kitchen table.
"Good morning." You say.
"Good morning dear." You aunt says, your uncle grumbles at you. "Are you off to get the children ready for the day?" She says, less asking and more telling you.
"Yes, I was just on my way to take care of them."
"Wonderful."
You walk into the bedroom, three young girls in a deep sleep in their beds. You begin to wake the oldest, Ana, who is about 10, and make your way to the middle and then the youngest, Elena, the youngest in the family at only 4 years old. You help them get dressed and send them down for breakfast, you make your way into the other bedroom where the two twin boys are still fast asleep. You wake them up, dress them and accompany them into the kitchen. You prepare their food and serve each child, you try your best to personalize each meal for each child, although your family is not wealthy by any means, you make do with what you have.
Once the children are fed and the kitchen is restored to its usual state, you bring them outside as you sweep the cobblestone path leading up to the house. The children are running around in the yard and in the street, kicking up dirt and rocks as kids do. As you're sweeping you hear the bells, you drop your broom and rush over to the children and begin to quickly usher them into the house.
The bells are only rung when the Lady of the castle comes through the village in her carriage. You've never seen her before, but you've heard rumors of her ruthlessness, many of those brought into her castle are never to be seen again. To avoid her, or her daughters, who are rumored to be worse than the Lady herself, the townspeople ring bells throughout the village to signal her arrival. All of the villagers rush inside and lock their doors, fearful that if the Lady or her daughters even see you, you will be whisked away, never to be seen again.
You hear the stomps of hooves a short distance away as you try and wrangle the children and get them inside, one by one they enter the house and you realize you're missing one. Fear shoots through you as you look into the road and see Elena, bending down in the road, picking up the rock she was playing with. You see the carriage, mutant-like horses pulling it, hurdling towards the child. Before you realize it, you're sprinting towards her, just before she's trampled you dive into the road and knock her out of the way, the two of you tumbling away from the carriage. The horses rear, bringing the carriage to a halt. You scramble and scoop the child into your arms, cradling her close to your chest as you sit in the dirt.
"Oh Elena," you say breathlessly, "are you hurt?"
Aside from a few scrapes, she is fine, but more scared then hurt and begins to cry.
"Shh, you're okay." You whisper to her.
You were so focused on Elena, you didn't realize someone emerged from the carriage until you see the hem of a cream dress and black stilettos standing just a few short feet in front of you. You slowly follow the dress up with your eyes, by the time you expect to reach the face of the person in front of you, you realize your eyes are only up to their waist. You strain your neck up and finally reach the top of the woman in front of you, her face shielded by a shadow cast by her large hat. You wrap your arms around Elena tighter as you're frozen by fear, realizing you're sitting at the feet of the Lady herself. Her one hand draped across her chest, her elbow resting on her arm with a long cigarette holder sitting between her two fingers, a lit cigarette sitting on the end of it.
"And what do we have here?" Her sultry voice taking you by surprise.
You sit there, still frozen in fear, your throat suddenly dry.
"I do not have the patience today to be ignored." She says, leaning down towards you. Piercing yellow eyes emerge from the shadow as she moves.
"I- I am so sorry Lady." You say bowing your head. "The child- she- she's just a child." You say with a shaking voice, your arms wrapped tightly around Elena as you try and hold back tears of fear.
The Lady says nothing, you can feel her eyes burning into you as she stares.
"Please," you say as you sheepishly look up at her. "Please don't hurt her."
She stands up straight and the shadow covers her face again. She says nothing for a moment and then speaks.
"And what if I want to?" She says, her voice sending chills down your spine.
"Hurt me instead, whatever you want to do to her, do to me instead, please, I beg you, don't harm her."
You hear her smirk, even though you can't see her eyes you know they haven't moved off of you.
"Is she your child?" She asks.
"No ma'am, she is my cousin."
"And you would be wiling to die for you, cousin?" She asks as if she's more surprised at who you would be willing to sacrifice your life for than the fact that you're willing to sacrifice your life at all.
"Yes ma'am, my purpose is taking care of them, if anything were to happen to them, I would never be able to live with myself."
"Your purpose?" She asks.
"Yes ma'am. I serve no other purpose than to take care of the children, without them, my life has no meaning." You say sincerely. Since your aunt and uncle took you in, you've taken care of the children, you have no job, you're not suitable for marriage, you truly believe that the only purpose you have in your life is to care for them.
"How pitiful." She says. You look away and stroke Elena's hair, still trying your best to comfort the terrified child. The Lady bends down, you look up and she brings her hand to your chin, you close your eyes, terrified that she's just going to kill you where you sit. You feel a soft gloved finger under your chin, she lifts your face and you open your eyes and look at her, a shadow still mostly covering her face. "Pitiful that such a beautiful maiden is nothing but a servant for children. Children that aren't even hers."
Taken back, you stare at her, you know what you heard her say, but your brain cannot process it. "Beautiful? Did she call me beautiful?" You think to yourself.
"Tell me draga, where do you live?"
"Just across the way." You gesture to the small house behind her.
"And who cares for you?"
"I- I live with my aunt and uncle." You say, unsure of why she's asking you these questions.
"Bring me to them."
You nod your head and stand up with Elena still clinging to you. You walk past the cart and take notice of a buzzing noise coming from the inside.
"Girls," you hear the Lady quietly growl to the cart as she walks past. "Behave."
The buzzing quiets and you walk up to the house, your aunt and uncle standing at the door with horror on their faces.
"Oh Elena." You aunt says as she takes the girl from your arms and carries her inside.
You stop at the door and turn and look at the woman, unsure of what to do next, she stands taller than the ceilings inside, you don't think she'd be able to fit.
"Well are you going to invite me in?" She says, looking down at you.
"Yes, of course." You say and make your way inside.
"Girls." The Lady says and turns towards the carriage.
A massive swarm of flies emerges from the carriage and three girls emerge, all dressed in black robes, one with blood stains on her cheeks. The Lady removes her hat and hands it to one of them.
"Stay here." She commands them.
"Yes mother." They reply in unison.
She bends down and enters the house, kneeling on the floor inside. Finally able to see her face, you're almost taken back at her beauty, her inky black hair curled and held in place with pins, her blood red lipstick, glowing yellow eyes, you're less afraid and more fascinated. She looks over at you and sees you looking at her, you quickly look down as your cheeks turn a light shade of pink.
"How may we help you Lady?" Your aunt politely asks, a little afraid.
"Your niece," she says gesturing to you. "She tells me the only purpose she serves is caring for your children, is that correct?"
"That's all she's good for." You uncle says.
She slowly turns her head and glares in his direction.
"And why is that?"
"She has no skills, she's an orphan with nothing to her name so she's not suitable for marriage, no man will have her, and besides being a burden, all she can do is care for the children."
You look down at your feet as your uncle speaks, although you've heard those words your whole life, they still sting. The Lady purses her lips.
"An orphan?" She asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Her parents, my sister and her husband, perished in a fire when she was a child." You aunt says, you hear the three girls outside of the door giggle. "Our only choices were to take her in or-" she pauses and doesn't finish her sentence, everyone knows what she would have said, all orphans are sent to the Lady's castle.
"I see." She looks back over at you, you keep your eyes on the floor. "Well, if she is such a burden, I will gladly take her off of your hands." You look up at her with fear in your eyes.
"And who will care for our children?" Your uncle asks with anger in his voice.
"You're their father, are you not?" She snaps at him, he doesn't speak but he still has anger in his eyes. "If losing her will be an inconvenience, I will pay you handsomely for your troubles. Much more than a marriage proposal would fare." She laughs as she finishes her sentence.
"How much are we talkin'?" You uncle asks.
"Uncle!" You say in disbelief, you know he was never fond of you, but you never thought he would sell you, especially to her.
"Silence you wench! You have no say in this matter." He shoots daggers in your direction. You look at your aunt, tears filing your eyes, she looks away from you, not able to look you in the eyes.
The Lady's glare becomes more intense as she watches him reprimand you. She turns and looks at the girls out of the corner of her eye.
"Girls, my bag please."
"Yes mother." One of them says, disappearing into a swarm of flies, they fly over to the carriage and return, the girl emerging from the swarm with a large, leather purse in her hands. She hands it to the Lady and she pulls out a large pouch, handing it to your uncle.
"That would be half. I shall have one of my maids bring you the other half in a few days."
You uncles eyes light up as she drops the bag in his hands, it looked so small in hers, but easily fills both of his hands.
"Deal." He says, his eyes not leaving the large pouch in his hands.
"Uncle please," you beg.
"Enough, pack your things." He says.
You run into your room and lean against the door, tears falling down your cheeks, trying to stop the hyperventilating. You hear a small knock on the door, you take a deep breath and turn to open it, you aunt and Elena are standing there.
"How could you let him do this?" You say through tears. "She's going to kill me. You're sending me away to my death."
"I'm sorry, there was nothing I could do." She says, her eyes watery. You were never particularly close with either your aunt or uncle, you were always looked at as lesser than them. Although your aunt was kinder than your uncle was, maybe because you looked so much like your mother, regardless, neither of them seemed to care much for you.
"Don't go y/n." Elena says, tears in her eyes. You lean down and hug her.
"I'm sorry love, but I have to. I don't want to leave you, but I have to." Her little hands grab at your dress and you hold her close.
You aunt pulls Elena off of you and you pack your things. You don't own much, so everything fits into a small bag. You walk back out into the living room, your hands gripping the bag, trying your hardest to stop them from trembling.
"My Lady," you aunt says, breaking the silence. You uncle stares daggers at her, while the Lady looks at her curious of what she's going to say. "What can we do to ensure her safety? I- I don't want harm to come to her."
The Lady laughs, her deep laugh shakes the walls of the house, a terror fills your chest.
"You have my word, no harm will come to her." She says as she caresses your cheek with one of her gloved fingers. "And I am a woman of my word."
Her touch sends shives down your spine, the corners of the Lady's mouth curl as she feels the effect she has on you.
"Say your goodbyes. We must be going."
You turn and hug each child, you get to Ana and hold her tightly.
"Take care of them, okay?" You gently say. She nods her head with tears in her eyes and hugs you.
You get to Elena and you wrap your arms around her and kiss her head.
"I love you, please listen to Ana, okay? For me?"
She cries and nods her head, burying her face into your dress.
"Be brave." You say gently.
"I'm scared." She cries into you.
"I'm scared too," you say, looking into her eyes, "But we have to be brave when we're scared, when we have to do things we don't want to. Okay?"
She nods her head and hugs you again.
"I love you y/n."
"I love you too Lena."
The Lady clears her throat and you take a deep breath and let go of the child. You wipe her tears away and kiss her on the head again. You stand up and hug your aunt and turn towards the lady and nod your head.
"And what? You don't have anything to say to me?" You uncle says angerly. "You ungrateful, useless-" he stands up and walks towards you, the Lady reveals one of her sharp, long claws and puts it to his neck. You all gasp and your aunt tries to cover the children's eyes.
"I surely hope you treat your daughters better than that." She growls. She must have put the fear of the Black God into your uncle because for the first time in your life, he's silent, and terrified. She retracts the claw and looks at you.
"Let's go."
She backs out of the door and takes her hat from the girl holding it and places it back on her head. You follow her out the door and she leads you into the carriage. You look back at the place you called home once more and wave to the kids before climbing in. The Lady climbs in next to you, the carriage leaning to the side as she gets in. A massive swarm of flies enters the carriage and the three girls appear across from you.
"Oh mother she looks fun!" One of them says.
"Oh yes, mother can we play with her? Please?"
The third one grabs your arm, staring intently on the cut you got when you were saving Elena.
"She smells delicious mother, can we have a small taste? Please?" She begs.
"Girls, enough." She commands, the three girls immediately falling silent, the one releasing your arm. "She is going to be one of my new personal maids." She says, looking over at you, you feel her eyes on you and you keep your eyes on the floor.
The girls giggle and begin to chat amongst themselves. You hear whispers of them talking about a dungeon, who they were planning on taking down to it, whispers of hunting, you try your best to keep your nerves under control but the Lady seems to pick up on them immediately.
"No need to be afraid," she says looking down at you. "As long as you're obedient and you behave, you will never have to experience the dungeon, or worry about any of them." She says gesturing to the girls. She gently pats your leg, her hand can practically wrap around your entire thigh. The thought sends chills down your spine and you look out the window to distract yourself from thinking about it.
You reach the castle and you look out the window in amazement, you've never seen it up this close before, it's as breathtaking as it is ominous. You get out of the carriage and Lady Dimitrescu leads you inside.
"I presume you know how to clean, and well given you've watched after so many children for so many years?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Good, I will introduce you to the head maid and she will give you your assignment and a uniform. You start tomorrow morning, I suggest you clean yourself up and get a good nights rest tonight." She says, eyeing the dirt stains on your dress from earlier.
"Yes ma'am."
She leads you into the kitchen and introduces you to the head maid. She excuses herself and you're lead to the maids quarters, you're shown your small room, although it's still bigger than the room you had at your aunt and uncles house. You're given fresh uniforms and the head maid hands you a sheet with your duties.
"You will begin in the library tomorrow morning, I will show you around for the first few days, but after that you must remember where to go on your own. It is also very important that you do not, under any circumstances, enter the Lady's study or chambers without her explicit request, understand?"
"Yes." You say, looking over the list of chores.
"I can't tell you how many new maids I've lost due to them wandering in there, either on accident or to snoop around. Do not do it. Understand?"
"Yes. Understood." You say, looking up at her.
She leaves and you shower and put on the clean pajamas that were left in your wardrobe. You lay down in bed, surprised at how comfortable it is, and before you know it, you're asleep.
You wake the next morning and put on your uniform and pull your hair back. You grab your supplies and meet the head maid. She gives you a quick tour as she leads you to the library, you do your best to remember which room is which. You make sure you engrain into your mind which room is the Lady's study and which is her chambers so you never accidentally end up in there. You get to the library and the head maid leaves you to work. You look over your list, you have to dust, polish, return any stray books, sweep and mop the floors. The library is large, but you figure the floors are going to take the longest. You begin by putting away any books you see laying around, carefully replacing them to their correct spot.
You hear a faint buzz across the room and the sound of giggles, it's incredibly unsettling, but you do your best to ignore it and keep working. You hear books falling to the floor, the sound echoing across the room and it startles you. You walk towards the sound, the closer to the mess you get, the louder the buzzing gets. Out of the corner of your eye you see movement and turn around, you see one of the daughters giggle.
"Oopsies." She says, covering her mouth as she laughs and disappears into a swarm of flies.
You kneel down and pick up the books and return them to their shelves. "Well, it's not much more different than dealing with the kids at home." You think to yourself.
Once the mess is cleaned you return to dusting and polishing. As you're cleaning you hear the shrill laughter of the girls as they buzz through the castle, although much more frightening than the laughter of children, you quickly get used to the sounds and eventually you don't even notice it.
You hear the laughter enter the library and you do you best to keep focused on the floors. You hear footsteps behind you and you turn to see the three girls, the redhead running up to you and getting right into your face, examining you closely.
"Daniela please, let the girl do her work." The blond says.
"Get out of the way!" The brunette says, pushing the read head away. "I want to get a closer look at her." She says looking you up and down. "Oh I bet you taste sweet," she says, licking her lips. "I would love to get just a little taste." She holds up a sickle. "Just a little taste."
"Cassandra mother will kill you if you lay a finger on her." The blond reprimands her.
"Ugh." She says lowering the sickle. "You always ruin the fun Bela, I wanted to make her squirm!"
The girls still tower over you a bit, you don't even notice the smile that crossed your face as they bickered, reminding you of the kids you practically raised.
"What are you smiling at?" Bela says, looking at you curiously.
"Oh, nothing, sorry." You say as you look down. "You guys just reminded me of the kids a little, that's all."
"Oh, were they bad?" Cassandra asks with wild eyes.
"No, not at all, they were amazing."
"Well that's no fun." The Daniela says. "I can't wait to see what mother has in store for you."
You look at her, unsure of what she meant.
"Oh Daniela hush, you don't even know what mother wants with her." Bela says.
"All I know is that if she ever brings you down to the dungeon, I want to be there so I can get a taste of you." Cassandra says, licking her lips.
"Do you know why mother paid to bring you here?" Bela asks.
"Honestly, no. I have no idea." You say.
The three girls look at you curiously, none of them seeming to know the answer themselves.
"Well, it was lovely talking to you girls, but I really should get back to cleaning, I wouldn't want to fall behind on my first day and anger the Lady." You say.
The three girls look up and giggle and disappear in a swarm of flies.
"I should be offended that you would think it takes so little to anger me." You jump when you hear the voice behind you.
"Oh, Lady Dimitrescu, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were there." You stutter. "I didn't- that's not what I-" You fumble with your words, trying to save yourself.
She chuckles. "Oh draga, I am not offended. Not this time."
"Oh," you look down at the floor, avoiding eye contact. "Thank you."
She steps away and takes a seat on one of the chairs near you and crosses one of her long legs over the other.
"Is there anything I can do for you ma'am?" You ask, your eyes still focused on the floor.
"You are allowed to look at me dear." She says.
You look up and she leans forward, your eyes go to her massive chest as she leans forward, her dress perfectly showing off her impressive breasts. You immediately snap your eyes up, hoping she didn't notice. Her lips curl into a smile, "damnit. She noticed." You think to yourself. She sits back into the chair and opens the book you never noticed in her hand.
"There is nothing I need from you draga, not yet." Her yellow eyes feel like they're piercing your soul. "Please, continue, don't allow me to distract you from your work." She smiles at you and you shyly smile back.
"Oh, okay. Well, if you do need anything, please let me know." You say.
She turns her attention to her book and you go back to finishing sweeping the floors.
As you're cleaning you swear you catch her watching you, you try to focus on doing the best job you possibly can even though your nerves are extremely heightened at her presence.
You finally finish in the library, you look around and realize that Lady Dimitrescu is no longer in her chair, you didn't notice that she left, you're not entirely sure how long it had been since she left, but you're grateful that you were able to do a good enough job where she didn't say anything.
You gather your things and head back to your quarters to look for the head maid to see if there's anything else you needed to do since it was only the afternoon. To her surprise, there was nothing left for you to do so you had the rest of the day to yourself. You showered, changed into a new outfit and hung out in your room until dinner.
Once dinnertime came you made your way to the kitchen and got in line to eat. You could tell there was a pecking order amongst the maids, made up between the highest-ranking ones and the ones who have been here longest. You did your best to not step on anyone's toes as you waited in line. You could tell there were cliques among the maids, you tried to make yourself as invisible as possible as you tried to find an open seat with your tray in your hands. You notice a maid stuck her foot out to try and trip you, you carefully walked around her and avoid looking at her as you pass.
"You think you're better than me?" You hear someone say.
You had no idea who they were taking to, but you didn't think they were talking to you so you kept walking.
"You, new girl." You hear her say. You turn around and realize she was talking to you. "You think you're better than me?" She asks, anger in your eyes.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were talking to me. But, no, I don't not at all." You say.
She walks up to you and smacks your tray out of your hand, your meal scattering across the floor.
"Know your place bitch." She growls at you. "Now clean up the mess." She says as she walks back to her seat.
Stunned, you stand there for a second before cleaning up what was going to be your dinner. You look over and realize that there wasn't much left and you head back to your room. You lay in bed, your stomach growling. "How was it easier to deal with the three girls than it is dealing with the other maids?" You ask yourself. You finally roll over and fall asleep, hoping there won't be any more issues with the other maids.
The next few weeks are about the same, the one maid knocking at least half of your meals out of your hand. You eventually figure out when she gets to the kitchen for meals and try to get in before she does so you can actually eat, it angers her, but you do your best to ignore her. You have more run-ins with the girls, they seem fascinated by you, and you couldn't help but be a little fascinated with them too. Lady Dimitrescu pops up a few times throughout each week in whatever room you're working in, it strikes you as odd, but you try not to think too much of it. You can't imagine that she has time to visit every maid as frequently as she sees you.
You were eventually given the task to take care of requests that the girls ask of you, although they really didn't ask for too much. You removed blood stains from their dresses, cleaned and polished their weapons, usually their sickles, helped them remove blood stains from carpets their mother specifically asked them to not get blood on, the usual, at least the usual for this castle.
One day you're cleaning the main stairway, leading from the foyer to the second floor. You hear the usual buzzing and giggles and you smile as the girls run amuck through the castle. A swarm of flies appears in font of you and Daniela appears.
"Y/n, I need your help!"
"What's up Daniela?"
"You have to tell Cassandra that I'm less messy than she is. She doesn't believe me!"
"Daniela, respectfully, I am not getting in the middle of whatever you and Cassandra have going on today. Plus, it's not nice to lie." You say with a smile.
You hear a laugh from the second floor and you look up to see Lady Dimitrescu staring down at the two of you from the balcony. Your cheeks turn red as you return your attention to your work.
"Ugh!! Mother! Make her tell Cass!" Daniela whines.
Lady Dimitrescu descends the stairs towards the two of you.
"She's right Daniela, it is not nice to lie."
Daniela bursts into a swarm of flies and angerly storms away and you try and hide the smile on your face.
"You're very good with the girls, I know they can be," she pauses for a moment to carefully pick her words. "A handful."
"They're not so bad, plus, they're like any other siblings, they all bicker the same, just over different things."
She smiles at you and gently hums as she walks down the stairs past you. You pause for a second to listen, you never realized she was able to sing, no less had such a beautiful voice.
"What else is on your to-do list today?" She asks as she reaches the bottom of the steps.
"Once I finish the stairs I just have to dust and mop the hall up here."
"And you are off tonight, correct?" She asks.
"Yes, my next night shift is tomorrow night."
"Delightful, I am going to need your assistance tonight."
"Oh, uh, yes of course."
"Meet me in my chambers after dinner."
You freeze for a second and look down at her, she looks up at you with a smirk on her face.
"In your, uh, chambers?"
"Did I stutter?"
"No ma'am. I'll be there."
"Excellent."
She walks away and you take a deep breath. You continue the stairs and try to finish as quickly as you can while still doing a thorough job.
Once you finish you shower and change into a fresh uniform, you hurry to the kitchen and quickly grab your food and eat before the maid that has it out for you throws your dinner across the kitchen. Luckily you're able to finish by the time she shows up, she sees you cleaning up your plate and she shoots daggers at you. You have no idea why she seems to have it out for you, but you try your best to ignore and avoid her. You go to leave the kitchen and she goes out of her way to walk past you with her tray in her hands. You look forward and try to ignore her, as you pass you feel a sharp pain across your arm and you yelp and put your hand over you arm only to realize you're bleeding. You turn to look at the maid and you see her turn her kitchen knife back in.
"Oops. Sorry." She says sarcastically.
You hurry to your room and wrap a bandage around your arm, you realize you have a little blood on your dress but you don't have time to change. You rush out of your room and make your way to the Lady's chambers.

A Future with you
Summary: Talks about the future with your boy
Warnings: none ;)
Word count: 1k
A/N
I’m so so sorry I‘ve been offline for a while but school was stressful as hell 😫 But it’s getting better so hopefully I‘ll be able to update more …
Tumblr media
Your sister Elena has recently given birth to your first niece, and you were absolutely ecstatic about it. You helped her a lot during her pregnancy due to her having many difficulties during it, where you didn't want to leave her alone. So, the wonderful sister you were, visited her nearly every day to look after her and help her with what she needs.
So when she FaceTimed you from the hospital with her newborn daughter Nora in her arms, you cried for a solid 10 minutes, getting a worried look from a very perplexed Pablo who just wanted to get himself a cool-pack for his knee.
Turning the phone around, you showed Pablo your screen, where a very tired Elena with little Nora in her arms came into view.
With wide eyes, he limped over to you to get a closer look at the infant and the new mother.
"Dios mio Elena!"
He snatched the phone out of your hand, and his face filled your sister's screen with how close he was to the screen. You laughed at him and tried to get your phone back again, though without any success.
Pablo and your sister always had a good relationship since you introduced them. So him being so excited about the arrival of your niece made your stomach feel all warm and fuzzy.
After you finally got Pablo off the phone, you decided to visit the fresh family. At first, Pablo wasn't sure about tagging along, not wanting to disrupt the intimate family moment. But after you reminded him that he basically already was family, he grabbed the little barça jersey he got for Nora and headed to the car.
You were in the hospital room for exactly ten minutes, and your ovaries couldn't take it anymore. The sight before you was god-made. Your boyfriend, sitting in one of these uncomfortable plastic chairs, your 6-hour-old niece dozing off, absolutely comfortable and safe in his arms.
"A child looks good on him", the soft voice of your sister caught you off guard. And you quickly divert your gaze from them.
"Y-yeah-but we're definitely too young for that, like way too young!"
Hearing your sister's soft giggle made your cheeks change into a deep, rosy colour.
Ever since your sister announced she was pregnant, you couldn't help but let your mind wander to what it would be like to be pregnant with Pablo's child, if it would have your eyes or his, if it is going to be as good of a futbolista as his father, and so on.
What you didn't know was. Ever since you came running into his office, nearly tripping over a vase, telling him you were going to be an aunt, he couldn't stop thinking about your future together. He already knows that you are his forever, ever since you threw a football at his face and nearly broke his nose.
But now, he couldn't stop imagining what a future with you might look like, from your new house to what pets you would have. He has everything planned in his mind.
The moment he saw you with your niece in your arms, cooing at the little bundle of energy, he couldn't help but let his mind wander to all the different scenarios of how your future could look with him.
The whole ride home was silent, not an uncomfortable kind of silence, more like a comforting and calming kind.
Pablo's head leaned against the window. He was gazing out into the dark landscape that was passing you, completely lost in his own world.
You weren't any better either, your thoughts running wild as you drove through the familiar streets to Pablo's house, which gradually became your house too, having spent more time there than anywhere else.
The living room was filled with soft noises that came out of the TV, which was playing in the background. But nobody was paying any attention to what was currently playing. Both of you too engrossed in basking in each other's presence.
The sound of Pablo's voice broke the silence you were in, "Do you ever think about the future, amor?"
Turning your head to look at him and think for a few seconds before answering.
"Yeah, sometimes … why?"
"I don't know … I just- I was just curious, I guess."
He was grateful for the dim lights, so you couldn't see his burning cheeks, as he answered your question.
Not able to hold it back any longer, you shot up to look into his eyes, "Please tell me that Nora also got you thinking about babies. Because that's all I have been thinking about for the last two days straight, and I think I'm goin-"
Pablo's laugh made you stop your rambling, to look at him with a confused expression.
"Sorry babe, but I'm just so happy that I'm not the only one who has been going crazy here. I think I planned our whole future through over the last few days."
Relieved, that you and Pablo were on the same page, when it came to your future, you cuddled yourself deeper into his embrace, careful not to hurt his knee and asked him what exactly he planned for the two of you.
With red cheeks, he started to explain to you how he wanted to have a house with a big garden so he could teach your children how to play football like his father did with him. He went on, about how he already found the perfect ring for when the time was right and how he wished that you at least have two children, a boy and a girl, like he and his sister.
It warmed your heart to hear his excitement when he explained that he already found little barça jumpers for babies and how he thinks that Fermín would be a terrible godfather.
You spent the rest of your night cuddled up together under tons of blankets and pillows, speculating about how your future will look like, a future you couldn't wait to live in.
A future with him

stefan salvatore male reader where the reader is Caroline's" brother " where he fell in love with Stefan but he only had eyes for Elena but they became friends and when stelena reações the end Stefan and the reader has his chance, from friends to lovers (Stefan has feelings for him and everyone noticed) the reader is a heretic and was transformed by Katherine along with his sister.
Things were never the same for Y/N Forbes when the handsome and mysterious Stefan Salvatore came into town. He was the new guy that everyone wanted, especially his sister, Caroline. His sister was known for getting any guy that she wanted, so to see Stefan reject his sister for Elena Gilbert was surprising.
Y/N tried to make nice with Stefan in a non-homoerotic way during football practice. Stefan was making it very hard not to pop any boners when he looked so good in his football gear. Then Stefan's older brother came into town. Damon was the bad boy with blue eyes and leather jacket, and even though he was very sexy, he was too much of an asshole for Y/N's taste, but not for his sisters.
Little did Y/N know that Damon was using and abusing his sister. Using her for sex and for her blood as a vampire. Something he wouldn't understand until later on as he and Stefan were just friends as he watched in suffering silence.
Although there was one time Y/N got into his mom's whiskey and he drunkenly called Stefan and invited him over to his house to sleep with him, but Stefan set the record straight. "Y/N, you're a really cool guy, but you and me, it's not gonna happen."
Y/N tried not to feel hurt by that, but he understood. A couple of months later he and Caroline were in a car crash with Matt and Tyler as Damon gave them some of his blood, and Elena for some reason killed them by smothering their faces with pillows.
That's when Y/N realized that he was turned into a vampire, more specifically, a heretic. He never knew about his witch side, and apparently he somehow activated his genetic maker as a siphoner to become a heretic. That's when Stefan taught him to control his bloodlust and suddenly all those feelings of hurt and anger for the older vampire were replaced by an intense fire of rekindled love.
And with threats like Katherine Pierce and the Originals trying to find the Doppelgänger aka Elena Gilbert. Y/N was going to be used as a sacrifice for Klaus's curse breaking ritual, but instead, Elena's Aunt Jenna was killed instead. Later on, Elena was turned into a vampire as she realized that she was having feelings for Damon, and soon they were broken up.
That's when Y/N decided to help Stefan. Be there for him. As a friend, but perhaps this was his chance as they shared a dance at senior prom. "Then how does anyone ever seem to move on?" Stefan asked as he spun Y/N in a circle.
"I don't know. I think someday you'll meet someone new... And fall madly in love. And you'll have moved on without even realizing it." Y/N said, as they looked into each other's eyes.
And from then on, Y/N and Stefan were close as close can be. Especially, when Y/N thought he was gone forever after he was killed by a traveler inside Tyler's body. That's when Y/N decided to tell Stefan that he was still in love with him. "Stefan, I realized something about myself when I thought you were gone. I realized that even though you said that we could never happen, I just wanted to let you know that I've always been in love with you. And I don't understand how Elena could let an amazing person like you slip through her fingers and–"
Stefan cut him off with a kiss as he looked at him and smiled. "Y/N Forbes, I think I've liked you from day one. I just couldn't admit it to myself that Elena and I were over, but I think I want you instead. I guess a part of me always did."
They kissed once again as everyone was either happy for them like Caroline, or unhappy like Elena.

The Parallels of Resident Lover
It is common knowledge within the Resident Lover fandom that there are many parallels in the game, namely Miranda and Bela. However. I am here to tell you there is a much more extreme and serious parallel, one that no one else has pointed out before.
Alcina Dimitrescu and Lois Griffin are parallels of each other. I know, I know, your mind MIGHT be blown right now, to the point where you don't get it. But do not fret, fellow Resident Lovers, for I am here to elaborate on the truth.
EXHIBIT A: APPEARANCES
Tumblr media
It is no secret that both Alcina and Lois are, well, attractive. Lois Griffin is consistently called one of the hottest mothers in animation, while Alcina has a fanbase of dedicated people purely because of her appearance. These two ladies are naturally attractive; some people even call them MILFS. It's not just how hot the two are; they have different little things scattered throughout that are obviously meant to mirror each other. Lois has bright red lipstick, referencing her still mainly happy attitude, while Alcina has dark red lipstick, highlighting the dark secrets she holds. They both have earings; the earrings that Lois wears are much more modest, as she is a simple housewife that doesn't want to show off, while Alcina is rich and always ready to stun. They both wear pants. They both have short hair, representing their bold and headstrong attitudes, and it is styled in such a classy manner that upon seeing them, you know they will not mess around. Alcina is also canonically in her mid 40s, while Lois is 44.
Exhibit B: Parenthood
Tumblr media
It can be argued that Alcina and Lois aren't the best mothers. And for the most part, neither of them even realize their faults. Furthermore, their children are all parallels of each other.
Bela and Chris - Blonde
Dani and Meg - Obvious Least Favorite
Cass and Stewie - Gays with a flair for the dramatic and their own silly best friends; Cass has Elena while Stewie has Rupert
This obviously it not a coincidence. The RL team is dedicated to making sure everything has meaning, including the own family dynamics present in their families.
Lois wasn't always a terrible mother. In early seasons, she could even be considered a good mother, even if she was sometimes a bit selfish. This is just like Alcina, but instead of it being early in the game, it is the interpretation of Alcina put in by the developers. Alcina being a bad mom in contrast to her amazing parenting skills in the original game is meant to specifically reference Lois randomly becoming a terrible mother.
Exhibit C: Their Own Families
Tumblr media
Alcina and Lois both come from rich and powerful families. Alcina is from the Dimitrescu bloodline, while Lois is from the Pewterschmidt bloodline. Through their families, they both have a lot of money and property. Alcina most notably owns the manor present in the game and a castle, while Lois once inherits her aunt's mansion in the season 2 premiere, "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater." While Lois opts to have a much more quiet and normal life, her family's worth can not be ignored. Having Alcina actively embrace the wealth her family brings contrasts Lois in such a stark way. After all, to be a parallel doesn't mean to be a carbon copy. They are not equal triangles; they are congruent.
Additionally, they both have odd brothers that they do not make much reference to and prefer to forget. Lois has Patrick and Alcina has Karl. One important thing to note is that Patrick's original voice actor was Robert Downey Jr. whilst Karl's last name is Heisenberg, the alias of Walter White. Who else is in the TV show of Walter White which is called Breaking Bad? Krysten Ritter, who plays Jessica Jones in the MCU. You see, it is easily all connected if you just take your thinking caps and your magnifying glass and look a bit close at the context clues.
Exhibit D: A Love For The Arts
Tumblr media
What is Alcina and Lois, without their love for the arts? It is no secret that Alcina is a connoisseur of arts. She even teaches Women in Art at the university. She lives for art, and even expects her children to be the same way. Meanwhile, while it is less obvious for Lois, she is easily a huge fan of art. The biggest example is in the season 2 episode, "The King Is Dead," where she is committed to having the perfect play and gets mad when Peter "ruins" it. She appreciates the arts, and to see them be disrespected hurts her. Lois is also a teacher; while she is mainly known for being a housewife, she has had multiple different jobs, including once being a music teacher at school in the episode "Connie's Celica" in season 18 and consistently being a piano teacher throughout the series. Lois is a gifted piano player and is the main aspect of the arts she appreciates. For most people, they associate her piano playing with the opening of the TV Series, which goes from her casually playing the piano to a Broadway style number, which is obviously what inspired the decision to make Cass a theatre kid.
Exhibit E: Jazz Singers
Tumblr media
While this may seem very minor, it is not. In the original game, Alcina was previously a jazz singer. Her favorite music genre is definitely jazz and she has a deep love for it. Meanwhile, Lois Griffin occasionally sings jazz throughout the series and the earliest prominent example of this in the series is the season 1 episode, "Mind Over Murder," where she begins to sing at the bar located in the basement of her house. Jazz is integral to Alcina... but would that be so true if Lois was not once a jazz singer? Her interest in jazz only exists because of Lois's connections to jazz as Alcina was directly written to be a parallel of her.
IN CONCLUSION
Tumblr media
It is undeniable that Alcina was created to be a direct parallel to Lois Griffin. Her story simply wouldn't have the same emotional impact as it does if not for this. There is so much more that can be expanded upon as well, as I only scratched the surface of their parallels. I would like to thank Seth MacFarlane for making this all possible with the creation of Family Guy, and the Resident Lover Team for creating such a moving story. Truly, we need to stop this talk about the "Miranda and Bela" parallels now that I have revealed the truth. And, of course, you're welcome Resident Lover Team, for finally spreading the truth I know you've deeply been wishing to be discovered. Especially you, @dead-finch-420, mainly because I had to utilize some of your art pieces to make this post explaining what I'm sure you knew as you drew some of these pieces.

Continuing the series Miles and Gwen plague my thoughts, Morales-Stacy family version 😃
I personally like the original idea of the Earth-8 comic but I'll improve it with my touch.
First, I love that Miles and Gwen share last names. It's important both because it shows that Miles and Gwen are still their individual people, but they also love sharing each other's lives and that hyphenating shows that.
Their eldest daughter is not called Charlotte, but Elena. Elena Rio Morales-Stacy. In honor of her two grandmothers, since Elena is the Latin spelling of Helen, and Rio is kind of obvious, in addition to being a name that means light, which it would be for Miles and Gwen.
As for Max, his name is Aaron George Jefferson Morales-Stacy. Because there was no way Miles would stop honoring the most important men in his life, and Gwen would do it for her father too. Not to mention that the meaning of strong would be very appropriate.
Elena is 4 years older than Aaron and they would both have a good relationship with each other, despite normal sibling tensions. You know, sharing things, telling on each other, fighting on the roof of the house and breaking a chandelier once…
They would easily be the most beautiful children you would ever see in your life, I mean… have you looked at Miles and Gwen? The genes these kids inherited are insane! Beauty runs in the family blood.
I like to think that they are both a perfect balance of Miles and Gwen, and that Elena inherited Gwen's eyes while Aaron inherited Miles's. They would have curly hair and their skin tone would be more similar to Rio's.
To Rio's pride, btw, the two are bilingual, in addition to being well involved in the cultures of both parents. When Gwen became pregnant for the first time, she and Miles had a serious conversation about how they would raise their children, so both Elena and Aaron were raised in a Spanish-only household until they went to school. As Gwen at this point already spoke fluent Spanish, it wasn't a problem. Rio and Jeff also greatly influenced Elena and Aaron's early years of creation. You need to be proud of your roots after all!
Elena and Aaron, like their parents, would have a spider bond with each other, this being fraternal rather than the parents' obviously romantic one. Which would make them both very protective of each other, always letting them know that one is in danger. However, being her mother's daughter, Elena is the more protective of the two.
And this happens because Elena has a ridiculously refined and sensitive spider sense, something that Gwen suspects comes from herself, since from the films, it seems that Gwen has a spider sense beyond the ordinary and Elena would inherit it.
Aaron loves dancing. He especially likes breakdance and hip-hop, although he also knows salsa and ballet, being a popular dancer in the neighborhood where the family lives. Sometimes he participates in school competitions and the whole family enjoys watching. The Morales-Stacys are the best hypemans you will ever meet.
Elena is an excellent singer and is part of a band! Gwen and the Mary Janes sometimes like to go to rehearsals, and when they do a show, the whole family goes to watch. Elena also likes to sing in karaoke and at home.
Unlike Miles and Gwen, and just like Mayday, Elena and Aaron were born with spider powers. Therefore, Peter helped and continues to help a lot in their creation, having his own share of experience. He's Uncle Pete to them.
Elena and Aaron have a lot of uncles and aunts in general. Hobbie teaches them the importance of thinking for oneself and questioning absolutism (something both Miles and Gwen are grateful for), Pavitr brings sweets, practices dancing with Aaron, and the two of them plus Elena plan to break into the British museum. Gayatri also visits sometimes, helping Elena with her stage presence, as she is a model after all.
Noir and Ham always tell stories about their dimensions and this entertains the brothers a lot. Margo and Peni visit a lot too, as they and Gwen have game nights every Wednesday, as well as teaching lots of technological tricks.
Miles G. is a funny case in itself. Since I think he and Miles are going to become like brothers in Beyond, he definitely wanted to be present in the lives of his honorary nephews, and as soon as both Elena and Aaron were a year old, he started visiting them… and both of them cases, kids think he is their father and then confused because "daddy has a twin now?" when the two are together.
Well, that's what came to my mind. Thank you and good morning!

"In 1799, three years after her failed betrothal with the King of Sweden, another marital project originated for Alexandra. Previously in 1798, Dukes Ferdinand Augustus and Alexander Frederick of Württemberg who were the brothers of the Empress Maria Feodorovna, arrived in St. Petersburg to serve in the Russian army. They expressed the interest of Austria to join with Russia in a coalition against the rising power of the French Republic and Napoleon, and to cement this alliance, it was decided to arrange a marriage between Alexandra and Archduke Joseph of Austria, Palatine (Governor) of Hungary and a younger brother of Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor. Archduke Joseph personally came to Russia to see his bride. The meeting between them was successful. In mid-February 1799 the betrothal ball was held. Later, a marriage contract was signed in which Alexandra would be allowed to kept her Russian Orthodox faith. In October, Count Fyodor Rostopchin wrote:
"Believe me, that's not good started to strengthen the alliance with the Austrian court by ties of blood... Of all the sisters she will be given the least successful marriage. She will have nothing to wait for, and her children even more so."
On 25 September 1799, a decree was published about the royal title of Alexandra. In Russia, she was referred to as "Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess the Archduchess of Austria" with the French prefix of "Palatine d'Hongrie". The wedding took place on 30 October 1799 at Gatchina Palace, one week after the wedding of her sister Elena. To celebrate both events, poet Gavrila Derzhavin wrote the ode "the wedding celebrations of 1799". On 21 November the couple went to Austria. Countess Varvara Golovina remembered that Alexandra was sad to leave Russia, and her father Emperor Paul I "constantly repeated, would not see her since her sacrifice." According to Alexandra's confessor, Andrei Samborski, Alexandra was given a cold reception in Vienna. However, other sources offer a different view. Queen Maria Carolina of Naples (the Emperor's mother-in-law) and her daughters arrived in Vienna in August 1800 for a long stay. Maria Carolina's daughter, Princess Maria Amalia of Naples, wrote in her journal that on 15 August the Queen and her daughters were introduced to Alexandra, whom she described as "very beautiful". Maria Amalia and Alexandra became friends during this time; and the Princess of Naples wrote in her journal that the Russian Grand Duchess and her husband had a friendly relationship with the rest of the imperial family and took part in the family gatherings, parties and balls in Vienna, which contrasts with the version given by Andrei Samborski. For instance, in January 1801, Maria Amalia wrote in her journal that the imperial family used to attend balls in Archduke Joseph's residence in Vienna, where "beautiful Alexandra, always serious and sad, has a magnificent household." When she was presented to Emperor Francis II, she reminded him of his first wife Elisabeth of Württemberg, who was her maternal aunt; this caused the jealousy of Empress Maria Theresa, Francis II's second wife, who also was envious of Alexandra's beauty and fine jewelry. Imperial confessor Andrew Samborski wrote:
"Remembering the happy cohabitation with her led him (the Emperor) in extreme confusion of mind which afflicted the heart of the Empress, his present wife. After this, she became in the innocent victim of the Empress' implacable vengeance...The Empress not forgotten and humiliated her parents and siblings when she called them a family of freaks, due to the treatment that Grand Duke Constantine gave to his wife."
Once, Alexandra turned up to a ball beautifully dressed, with magnificent jewellery. The Empress was incensed at being upstaged by the Archduchess, and ordered her to remove her jewellery, and also told her that she could no longer wear them. Heeding her instructions, Alexandra only decorated her hair with flowers when she attended a play some time later. The flowers highlighted her beauty, leading her to be applauded and being given a standing ovation, making Maria Theresa even more furious. Archduke Joseph could not protect his wife from these attacks. Furthermore, her Eastern Orthodox faith aroused the hostility of the Roman Catholic Austrian court, who urged her to convert. Pavlovna was popular among Hungarians, both the nobles and the commoners. According to the legend, it was her suggestion to add the color green as the third color to the flag of Hungary. Hungarians had been using red and silver, then red and green as their national colors for centuries at the time. However, in the late 18th century, a third color was proposed to be added to the flag, to follow the style of the French tricolor. Pavlovna suggested green as a symbol for hope. By the mid-19th century, the red-white-green Hungarian tricolor became widespread.

TVD S5 EP11&12 (mostly a rant about Tyler and Caroline)
Tumblr media
I'm not even gonna talk about the first 10 episodes, Silas was annoying AF I'm glad he's dead. Also, Katherine as a human was hilarious.
Tyler deserved better. I said it. I never really understood the Tyler hate. Like, yeah he was a douche in S1 but if we're judging him by his S1 personality shouldn't we all hate Caroline by that logic? Cause she was kind of a bitch in S1.
Caroline sleeping with Klaus...yeah no I don't even know what to say. I knew it was coming, just didn't know when. It was dumb and just didn't really make any sense to me. I was never really on board with them, to begin with.
Why did Klaus come back to MF in the first place? To see Katherine dying? Anyways... It always felt to me like Klaus was being really pushy and trying to flirt with Care when she was obviously not into it (she seemed pretty content and happy with Tyler)
Like sir, you have a whole ass baby on the way (idk what happened with that storyline cause the Mikaelsons went to New Orleans and I'm not watching TO rn) and you're here in MF trying to hook up with a girl who repeatedly told you she wasn't interested. Dare i say, you look kind of pathetic.
Tyler my boy, you deserve better, you really do. And then, when he hears Care talking to a Katherine-possessed Elena about Klaus he is obviously heartbroken.
Look, Care, I like you, I really do, but I can't defend you on this one. It's preposterous to me that she's the one acting all shocked when Tyler gets upset. Like, you slept with the man who ruined his life, who killed your best friend's aunt (RIP Jenna you will always be missed), and oh, killed his mother! (RIP Carol you were innocent)
Also, this might just be me, but did everyone forget that Klaus was gonna kill Care in the sacrifice ritual thing back in S2? Maybe I'm just really bad at letting things go but I would never get over that? Like I would never want to be friends let alone anything more with a person who brought so much suffering to me and my friends.
You almost died because of him, twice! Damn it Caroline, where are your morals!?
Call it a moment of weakness I guess, but still, it was hella stupid. And then Stefan defends Caroline? Like no don't defend her she did a stupid thing!
Tyler is my guy and I like him. I understand not liking his character but you cannot seriously say that he was in the wrong in this situation. He had every right to be upset. And Caroline was stupid for what she did. Maybe it's because Klaus said "You'll never see me again" so she thought "fuck it, I might as well since he'll be gone for good" but still dumb af
The show has been off the rails since S4 it can only be worse from here lol

Celeste is growing up fast, and she's scared of the changes.
@needs-to-stop-looking-at-valves Dulce is pregnant! With Camilo’s baby!
Everything's OK mi estrella.
Celeste was a month away from her tenth birthday, and she was kind of dreading it in a way, she knew that from what she'd heard she was going to get some kind of talk after her birthday, and she was scared she'd done something to get herself in trouble.
Dolores was concerned since she'd heard rumors of the young girls in the encanto getting their first period as young as 8 years old, she wanted celeste to know what was going to happen before it happened so she wouldn't be scared.
For all Dolores knew Celeste could start her period any day now, I mean she herself had started when she was 11, so Celeste starting at ten wouldn't be surprising. Though it might be really early for her baby girl to get her first period, but it wasn't anything she and celeste couldn't get through together.
While Dolores drank her morning tea the trio of hunters approached her.
"Mama, can Rio and Songbird and me go hunting tonight?" Celeste asked Dolores.
"Let me ask tia if we have room for any more meat," dolores informed
"Tia juli? How are we doing on meat supply?" Dolores asked
"I'm gonna be using the last of our elk cut for dinner, and we have a few small fish left after that, why?" Julieta told as she buzzed around the kitchen taking care of her herbs and healing food
"The Golden trio wanted to go out and hunt," Dolores said walking back to the three awaiting children
"You can go, but go to the river to get some fish first. Then once you bring the fish back you can go find and elk or something. Do any of yoy need anything from town? Crickets, arrows, knife sharpening?" Dolores asks
"I need to restring my bow, the line's gone slack, and I need a new silencer since my other one fell off when we were hunting last time," Elena said
"My knife needs sharpening, it's gone dull to the point it'll frey a fishing line instead of make a clean cut," Celeste added.
"I need a new hook for crocodiles, I had a crock break my line and take the hook with him last time, and I need crickets," Bek told finishing the list of needs.
"Well then, let's get the three of you to town so we get a good haul tonight," Dolores said
"You're going into town?" Isabela asked curiously
"Yeah these three need some hunting stuff, why?"
"We need some things for the bathroom, and Liv needs a few things from Osvaldo’s" isabela said handing dolores a scrap of paper with a short list on it.
"Ok kiddos grab what you need to bring with you to get your gear, and we'll be leaving once I let tio mariano know that I'm leaving." Dolores declared
The kids started gathering their things, Elena getting her bow, with the slack string, Celeste grabbing her knife to get sharpened, and Bek grabbing his cricket bucket and his hook caps so he doesn't hurt himself on his new crocodile hook.
"Mi amor, I'm taking the kiddos to town for some hunting gear and isa needs me to get some chocolate for liv and apparently we're almost out of pads too," dolores tells as she ties her espadrilles around her ankles.
"Ok mi buho, be safe" he says pressing a kiss to her cheek as he catches a sneaky grope to her rear. Loving the little squeak he gets a a response.
Once the group is in town she leaves the trio in the little hunters market while she places an order for the chocolate cookies and treats liv wants.
She returns, to see that senor ruis is helping her restring her bow with a silencer on it, Celeste is looking at some hunting boots, and Bek is looking at the spears.
"Alright there señorita, strung up just right with a fresh racoon tail silencer on it," senor ruis plucking the bow string to double check its taughtness.
"Gracias senor," Elena thanked as Dolores approached to pay for the restrung bow.
"No need dolores, on the house today, I can tell Elena doesn't misuse that bow of hers, she just wears the string out with how much she hunts." He tells
"Gracias," Dolores said guiding the trio to the tackle shop.
"Hola mis pequeños pescadores, what's got you three here today?" Senor DelRio said as soon as the trio walked in
"We need some crickets, and i need a new crocodile quad, had one bite through the line and take the one I had with him," Bek told the older man.
"Mhm, sounds like you got a mean crock on the river, do you need some stronger line?" He asked the boy
"If you have some stronger than the black paracord I always get," Bek said
"I got you covered hombrecito, " Senor DelRio said as he gathered the crickets and placed them into bek’s bucket that he made from wire fencing and some wood.
"Here you are, take care with that quad hook," Senor DelRio told.
"Here you go senor," dolores said handing him the money for the hook line and crickets.
"Good luck with the fish," Senor DelRio called as the group left.
"Now, I'm going to ler you thre go to the blacksmith on your own, because I have to pick some things up from Osvaldo’s. Stay together, don't leave the blacksmith until I come for you
The trio walk through the square until they get to Rosita's place.
"Hola Rosita!" Celeste said.
"Hola estrella, what brings you to the blacksmith today? Did your tio send you?" She asked
"Nope, it's me this time, I need my knife sharpened por favor, it's gone dull." Celeste explained
"Of course, can I see this blade of yours?" Rosita requested.
Celeste handed her knife over, and rosita tutted softly
"This knife is getting thin mija, tell you what, I'll sharpen it for you this time, but then I'm gonna make you a new one. And since your la sobrina de mi novio, I'll do it free of charge as a gift for your birthday." Rosita said.
"Really?" Celeste asked
"Of course mija, do you want a carved handle?" Rosita asked
"Si can you do a star carving with my birthstone embedded in it?" Celeste asked
"What's your birthstone?"
"Aquamarine,"
"It'll be ready by your birthday," rosita promised
"What will? Dolores said as she walked into the blacksmith shop.
"Her new knife, it's my birthday gift to her, her knife that she has is getting down to the bone, and she deserves a good strong knife to gut an elk with," Rosita answered
"That she surely does, I don't want her getting all of her clothes disgusting trying to spend an hour gutting an elk when she can do it in 20 minutes with a sharp knife." Dolores said as Celeste was given her knife back freshly sharpened.
"See you at casita Rosita," Dolores called wxiting the shop.
"Ok you three have all you need, I've got what isa asked me to get, let's get home and have some lunch before you three head out on an elk hunt and fishing trip." Dolores declared as Elena shifted her bow sling from her right to her left shoulder, Bek placed his hook caps on his quad hook, and Celeste put her case over her knife.
" I want you three home by no later than midnight, and if you can, catch a duck, I can hear dulce's baby, and if we can assume anything from her last pregnancy she's gonna want duck," Dolores told
"Lips sealed, secret safe," Dolores said, making the trio vow to secrecy with a silly saying
"Close the vault, lock the safe," the three choruses vowing their silence.
Once the sun started to set, the trio got their hunting clothes on.
Elena dressed in black boots and a simple light dress with shorts underneath, since she was gonna be in the trees,
Celeste was in her yellow pants and black top with dark burgundy boots.
And Bek, was dressed in a green pair of shorts and accompanying top, his green boots in hand. Isa had their faces smudged with green and yellow pollen so they blended in more. And Luisa was tying the girls' bandanas on their heads isabela doing Bek’s around his collar.
"There you go girls," luisa said happy with her handiwork
"To the river," Bek declared.
Celeste hid them with her invisibility. And the three headed off into the shadows.
"Ok, I'm going to set a crocodile line, and then stop the river flow for us to catch some fish for tia julieta," Bek said as they walked through the mountain crack.
"Here's my knife, did you bring the crock line?" Celeste asked
"Sure did, this stuff ought to hold that beast, we'll have to check the line tomorrow" Bek said through his teeth as he tied the quad hook,onto the line.
"Did one of you grab the chicken off the counter that tía cut for us?" Bek asked taking the caps of the hooks, stuffing them into his pocket.
"Got it," Elena said handing the raw chicken over
"Good," Bek said hooking it on the line, once the chicken was hooked he set the line, tying it to a tree to make sure the crock wouldn't escape.
A rustle in the woods behind them caused them to go quiet, Elena drawing her bow, Bek pulling the dagger he snitched from his tio Felix's hunting supplies, and Celeste being handed her knife back.
"JAGUAR! STAR WATCH OUT!" Bek screamed as he watched the jaguar pounce out of the shrubs
When it jumped at Celeste, when Elena caught a shot as the jaguar was in mid air, still, the claws scratched Celeste, tearing her shirt but not breaking skin.
Celeste fell onto some rocks, thst left a few scratches on her back. But nothing more than slightly reddened skin and barely bleeding marks. Not to mention when she fell, she landed on a sharp rock right between her legs.
Celeste cut the loose pieces off of her shirt to use wiping the jaguar blood off of Elena's hands which resulted in it's new length stopping right below Celeste's ribs showing her toned and flat stomach in the moonlight.
"Celeste, are you ok?" Bek asked, looking at her stomach searching for a mark.
"I'm fine, he only tore my shirt, by the way nice shot Lena."
"Thanks... Celeste are you sure your OK? Your pants are bloody," Elena said pointing to the growing red stain coming from between Celeste's legs.
"Well I'm not hurting, so I don't know what that is, but since we have a jaguar and a bucket of fish courtesy of bek's gift, we should head home. " Celeste suggested.
When they returned back to casita, Bek took the jaguar in to tia julieta and got some of her arepas for them as a post hunt snack, and hopefully to get Celeste to stop bleeding. Elena scaled the fish, and Celeste ate the arepa that healed all of the scratches and marks, but the red stain still grew even after the arepa.
Celeste, Elena, and Bek began to panic.
"Maybe you should go to the bathroom. See if you can see the cut," Elena suggested, and with her invisibility. Celeste snuck through the kitchen and into the bathroom. Locking the door behind her, she pulled her pants off and she didn't see any scratches on her legs.
Maybe it's further up, underneath my underwear. Yeah, it looks like the blood's coming from this front bit of fat Celeste thought.
When she pulled down her underwear she saw that the blood was concentrated further back on her underwear than she thought it just seeped into the fabric making it look like the blood was coming from somewhere else. There was no cut, atleast not visible.
"Celeste! Did you find the cut?
"No, can you go get pepa por favor? Maybe she'll know what to do" Celeste requested
Pepa was walking toward Isabela's room to help her with some plant things when she saw Elena run up to her.
"Tia pepa! Celeste needs you, she's in the bathroom," Elena told
Pepa followed the girl down to the bathroom, rapping her knuckles on the door when she got there.
"Mi nieta? What's wrong," Pepa asked
"I don't know!" Celeste squeaked
"Can I come in?" Pepa asked
"Si," Celeste said quietly.
Pepa opened the door and stepped in, seeing the bloody mess on her nieta.
"I'm bleeding, and I don't see a cut anywhere. What's happening to me?" Celeste asks desperate for answers as to what's going on.
Pepa looks down at Celeste's pants that had been abandoned on the floor, and it dawned on her what was going on.
"I think I know, can you take your panties off for me?" Pepa asked
Celeste was desperate to figure out what was wrong so whatever pepa asked, she did.
Pepa took one look at Celeste's underwear and the blood on her thighs. Poor girl was a month away from turning ten, and getting this talk.
"OK, I can assure you you will be just fine mi nieta, I need to get a few things, go on and shower while I get what you need," pepa told, Celeste breathed a sigh of relief at the assurance that she would be just fine. She pulled her top off and took her red tresses out of their shirt ponytail and stepped into the shower.
"Lola! Can I come in?" Pepa asked rapping her hands against the door to her daughter's bedroom
"Si mama.... why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" Dolores asked pulling her door open to see her very anxious mother with a cloud above her head.
"tu niña acaba de tener su período, ella pensó que era una herida, y está asustada," Pepa explained, going full Spanish due to her panic.
"OK that tradition about the talk after their tenth is changing to after their 9th, mi bebita" Dolores grumbled as she grabbed a pad from her closet, along with on of her old nightgowns, knowing Celeste found comfort in wearing some of her mamí's clothes.
"Gather up Elenita, Ava, Elena, tía juli, and Mira, I'll meet you guys in my room with star once she's taken care of," Dolores instructed entering the bathroom where her little girl was.
Pepa went to gather the aforementioned adults first before gathering the girls.
"Hey Pepa," Elena said as she sipped her tea, she was sitting with Julieta at the bar. Julieta deboning some jaguar cuts.
"Hola, we have a situation," Pepa said.
"Who got hurt?" Julieta asked peeking around behind Elena.
"Nobody got hurt per se, but there's blood involved. " Pepa said,
"Which one?" Elena asked finishing her tea.
"Celeste," Pepa said before rummaging through the wine cupboard, "wine? Were gonna need it for the awkward conversation ahead of us," pepa asked as she uncorked a bottle of red wine.
"It isn't awkward pepi, you just get really bad secondhand embarrassment for the kids," Elena said watching Pepa pour herself a glass of wine.
"Anyway, we need to get Mirabel, Elena, and Ava, and head to Lola's room," Peoa told taking a long swig of red wine.
"I'll go find mi mariposita, Elena, you find Elenita, Pepa, you find Avalyn," Julieta concluded wrapping the last cut of jaguar in parchment, and placing it in the meat chest.
After each of the eldest three found their niña, they all went to Dolores's room, taking a seat on her bed, sofa, or on the floor near the bed.
Dolores walked in moments later, Celeste attempting to hide behind her.
"Well this is certainly not how I expected to bring this subject up," Dolores mumbled, sitting on her bed with Celeste beside her.
"What happened to Celeste?" Elena asked since se was one of the ones to witness the blood on Celeste's pants.
"Celeste got her first period," Dolores said simply hoping her prima or tía will jump in and explain.
"What's that?" Ava asked
"Well, it's what makes all of us able to have bebés, each month, your body prepares for pregnancy by thickening the lining of your womb, and sending an egg down to be fertilized by a boy, if it isn't fertilized all of the lining and the egg come out, that's what makes the mess. The bleeding is most commonly referred to as your period. And the cycle as a whole is the menstrual cycle." Julieta explains
"So Celeste isn't hurt?" Elena asked
"Not at all mi Elenita, at least not in a traditional sense of having a wound. She may feel pain in her stomach, back, or around her nipples due to all the hormones, these pains are common, they're called cramps," Elena chuckled ruffling the younger girl's hair.
"Does it happen to all girls?" Ava asked
"Si, while these two don't have it anymore," mirabel said pointing to her tía and mama "Me, tía Elena, and Lola do, once you start your period, you'll have It every month for a long time, but when you get to be about 55, it stops, that's called menopause," mirabel said.
"Do you have any stories to tell?" Celeste piped up for the first time since entering the room.
"Goodness yes, I could tell you loads of stories about your Mami, or your abuela, even mirabel," Julieta said with a little chuckle
"And I could tell stories on you, you were awful when you were on," pepa said poking her sister's side
"You wouldn't dare!" Julieta gasped
"I would. Want to hear about the time she bled on tío gus," Pepa asked getting a collective yes from the young girls
"Dios mio," Julieta sighed
Hope you enjoy ❤
Now to dissappear and watch Harry Potter

Meeting your boyfriends sister | Hangman fanfic ✨
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin x Amber ‘Skysolo’ Kazansky
Timeline: Post-Top Gun Maverick
Tumblr media
Summary: She didn’t think she would ever be nervous about something like meeting the family. She has done it plenty of times before but what happens you boyfriend Hangman Seresin’s sister comes to town?
Charcters mentioned: Elena "Enigma" Seresin, Javy ‘Coyote’ Machado, Georgia “Peach” Wells and etc.
Top Gun Maverick AU
——
Amber Kazansky had been though a lot in her lifetime so far. From moving around as a child to different states to watching her aunt Carol die in her teens. Hell she has seen her father go through cancer and survive it.
She has seen friends break up, others get married and move on with their lives. So it was something she was fine with.
It was part of life, meeting people and trying to see if things worked. And if they did, you meet your lover’s friends. They get to meet your parents, seeing if they approve of your relationship.
But meeting her boyfriend’s sister? That was not one of them. So imagine her surprise when she founds out she’s in town for the weekend.
She. Was. Actually. Terrified! 
Yeah she Amber has met a boyfriend or two’s brother and sister in the past. But a naval base boyfriend’s siblings? Never. Jake Seresin was her first boyfriend to be a pilot and a damn good one. Sadly he wasn’t good at breaking news like this.
Because he decided to break the news right before they went to sleep the night before. He said he had something to tell over dinner but forgot about it. But he remembered it right before he turned off the bathroom light and jumped into bed with her.
And he said it so casually too! Like it was the most normal thing in the world?! She knew he had siblings but she wasn’t expecting for her to come over to visit her in the next 24 hours.
Which lead her to find herself roughly tapping her French tips against her desk the next morning. Biting the tip of her nail on one hand as the other typed away furiously on her keyboard. She was filing in information for her father. His assistant, Mindy, sent a small stack of paperwork for her transfer over into spreadsheets within the next couple of days.
She was so focused on her laptop screen, having Rocket Man playing from her speakers, that she didn’t hear friend come in.
Tumblr media
Georgia smiled chatting with Bradley at the door as he gave one kiss goodbye before she walked in. She hung up her jacket and set her lunch down on table nearby, grabbing her laptop from the cart. She left it charging earlier beforehand.
“Hey Amber.” She said with a peachy grin on her face as she started rambling about her morning. It was the cutest thing. Her eyes fell onto the blonde who was only half playing attention to what happened, making the brunette pause in her tracks.
“Uhh, earth to Sky? Amber, honey? Hello?” Georgia asked, waving a hand in the air and sighed, “Kazansky!”
“Huh?! What? I’m here, sir!” She yelled snapping out of it, ripping her fingernails away from the tips of her teeths, “Oh, what’s up sweets?”
“I was talking to you and you weren’t listening. That’s what’s up! What’s going on? Your usually cracking a joke by now.”
“You know. I can be very busy, busy, busy bee!”
“Ha! No. That ain’t it. Your always on a semi-busy monthly schedule but this is different. What happened? Was it Rooster and Jen?”
“No..”
“Uhh, hmm. Did Coyote say something stupid again?”
“No he didn’t. Neil didn’t do anything either.”
“Ohh was it Cyclone’s girl Valkyrie?! She’s a tough cookie!”
“No it wasn’t. Nor was it anyone else like Frostbite.”
Georgia’s eyes widen and gasped, “You and Jake had a fight? What did his sorry southern ass to do you? I’ll talk to him. I’ll get Phoenix and Frost as my backup. No one hurts my girl and gets away with it!”
Amber couldn’t help but laugh as she leaned against her chair. Peach was such a doll sometimes. Always so sweet and charmingly spiritual with the way she carried herself. She tend to get nervous and annoyed sometimes but other than that she was well..a peach!
Honestly she needed that today. A laugh from a friend.
“That’s not exactly what Jake said…it wasn’t a fight! We didn’t fight each other for anything. Oh god, I’m sweating. I don’t like this.” Amber admitted with a soft chuckle.
“Oh god something is up if you’re sweating bullets out of nervous. Come on, spill it out!” Georgia encouraged with a certain look.
“I’m meeting my boyfriends older sister today!”
“OH MY GOD! That’s great. From what I received from past relationships, that’s a good thing. That means he likes you, a lot! I’m so happy for you!”
“Now is not the time to be supportive! I’m freaking out, what if she doesn’t like me? What if she hates me and tells Jake stop dating me?! Tell him to aim higher?! That I suck! Cause technically, it’s kinda my fault I put him on a death defining mission to come back to Top Gun. Oh god she’s gonna hate me!”
Georgia stood there with her jaw dropped onto the damn floor. This was one of the first time she ever seen Amber Nic Kazansky in such a frenzy. This woman was always cool, calm and collected from the moment she met her. Giving her advice, by saying if everything is okay and sending a message to everyone on deck she meant every word she ever said.
Yeah sure, she had her moments where she lost her cool like an X-Men during a fight with Wolverine or something. Living up to her callsigns. Like when Jake and Bradley were arguing in the classroom or when Cyclone refused to listen to her and Maverick during the missions they went on.
But this?!
Here she stood in her office freaking out over meeting the family. It was honestly kinda hilarious to her. If she wasn’t such a good friend she would’ve recorded this and sent this whole thing as a video to the group chat.
But honestly it was cute though. It reminded people like her that the Kazansky family was just as human as the rest of them.
It was Georgia turn to calm her down.
“Hey, Amber. Amber, honey look at me. Look at me. Good. Just relax you’re gonna be fine.” Georgia encouraged, holding her shoulders.
“Wh-how? Sorry. How did you react to meeting Jen? She’s practically like a sister to Rooster.” Amber replied, taking a breath.
“Yeah well, I was freaking out cause her dad is sorta a legit legend, but I found her that she’s a total goofball. So maybe eh-what’s her name?”
“Elena.”
“Right, pretty name. Maybe Elena is the same way, just some cool chick. So go on, your gonna be late.”
“But what if she doesn’t like me and Jake didn’t say anything about me? Oh god what if she hates blondes?”
“Ok, now your rambling. Relax, you just gotta prove why your the first Mrs. Hangman. That ring on your fingers means something, right?”
“Right. Right..i yeah, I got this.”
“You got this! Now go on, I have a meeting with Wraith now.”
“Okay but..”
She didn’t have a moment to say anything else because Georgia practically pushed her out the door. She could’ve sworn she’s rubbing off on the brunette with her actions. Amber relaxed her shoulders, she was right. Elena probably a cool girl, relaxed and lay back.
But she was also beauty.
She seen the picture of her last night before she went to sleep. She was stunning with beautiful long blonde hair, pretty eyes glowing like a goddess of the sun and a lovely smile that take someone’s breath away. From just her pictures she seemed like the best women in the world.
A ray of sunshine wrapped up in pretty dress.
Hell she wanted to date her!
The moment Amber entered the cafeteria, her heart stopped. She saw her.
Tumblr media
God she was even prettier in person. Laughing in mid conversation with Frostbite—Rachel, chatting about god knows what. 
Elena was enjoying herself greatly. It made her smile.
Her outfit was so sweet, her smile was sung by as she laughed and her makeup made her shine.
Amber pushed her hair out of face walking over to the pair who sat at the table, chatting about they’re active services. Once she got closer she heard them a lot clearer.
“Oh stop it!” Elena said mid laugh waving her hand, “You’re the one who got her first air to air kill last week. You should be overjoyed! It’s amazing.”
“Ok it’s not as cool as you! Yeah sure, Jenny and Wraith encouraged me to do it but still.” Rachel added with a chuckle, “You have been to so many different places. That’s awesome.”
Both girls acknowledge her walking over to them.
Frost smiled sheepishly and chuckles, “Hey, have you met Elena? She’s new.”
“No, I haven’t.” Amber repiled with a soft smile turning to the blonde, “Hi.”
“Hey.” Elena said with a smile, “Nice dress.”
“T-thanks. So is yours, I love the pattern!”
“Thank you! I got it from H&M, big sale last month.”
Rachel got a phone call and realized it was one of their friends, excusing herself as she left with a small wave. That left both women to stand there awkwardly chuckling, before Elena realized what her was name again. She remembered her brother telling that her that his girlfriend worked here in the building.
She assumed this was her? But she could be wrong.
So she smiled pointing to the seat in front of her and said, “Sit. Please. Sorry I’m a little nervous, which is rare because I’m not like this.”
“It’s fine, I’m nervous too. Jake has told me about you.” Amber repiled with a smile, sitting down across from her. 
“Ohhh! You’re his girlfriend? I’m sorry, he didn’t even show me a picture of you, just told me your name. He just told me that I’ll probably bump into you today.”
“Hahaha! He told me the same thing, he can silly sometimes.”
“No, he can be an idiot sometimes.”
Both girls chuckled breaking the ice a bit.
“He just said, ‘hey since your coming here for the weekend! Come meet my girlfriend.’ That’s all he said.” Elena explained with a chuckle, “I was supposed to be here last week but my boss decided to change my schedule.”
“No, it’s okay! Things happen, my schedule ain’t always the clearest either. Literally Jake just threw that information at me last night so casually. I was freaking out…I mean, you sound cool according him.” Amber repiled as she shyly smile.
Elena found it cute. How did her brother get a someone like her? She seemed so sweet and honestly pretty nice. She felt bad she didn’t get information from her baby brother beforehand, she was completely clueless about this girl.
But it a good thing in her opinion, a clean slate.
“Sounds like him, she tends to tell people stuff and never make himself clear. He’s like a bird strike, I guess.” Elena said with a smile, thinking about all the times her little brother messed up.
“Oh your correct. He knocks someone off course and brings you along for the right. But it’s a nice ride.” Amber added thinking about something and smile, “How about we start over?”
“How so?”
“It’s kinda been a long week for us and I think we should just relax..”
“I like that. Actually I love that! Good idea.”
Amber smiled holding out her hand for the blonde to shake and said, “Hi, I’m Amber Nic Kazansky. Very nice to meet you, Ms. Seresin.”
“Haha! Nice to meet you too, Ms. Kaz—” Elena replied, stopping herself realizing what she just heard and laughed, “Wait! Kazansky?! You’re the Admiral’s daughter?”
“Hahaha yes. Why? I’m sorry that last name kinda surprises people.”
“Surprises people?! How did-? No offense, but i thought the admiral’s kid would have guards nearby or something…sorry.”
It was Elena’s turn to become shocked and a bit nervous but excited all at the same time.
She didn’t know her baby brother was dating the admiral’s kid?! For how long, she didn’t know. He aimed high! Respectfully, she would date an admiral’s kid too if they let her. Even steal her brother’s girlfriend off his hands!
She was impressed. Very impressed.
Amber chuckled, “It’s okay. People like to make rumors around here.”
“Real question, how did my brother pull you? No offense, but he’s a little stupid.” Elena replied with a laugh.
“I guess I like ‘em a little dumb.”
“Oh I like you.”
“Hahaha, the Seresin siblings are one of a kind.”
“And clearly my brother has good taste in women. He got it from me! Where do you work?”
“I was gonna ask you the same thing!”
“You first.”
“Okay um. I’m a training officer for recruitment here. I overlook plenty of paperwork for research, send people on missions and organize them.”
“Lieutenant, huh? Respect. I’ll love to see your office some time.”
“What about you?”
“Oh! I work as a lead engineer at the aerospace engineering firm.”
“Wait! Really? That’s so damn so cool.”
“Thanks! I worked on designing cutting-edge aircraft with advanced maneuvering capabilities. All kind of planes.”
“How have we not met before?”
“I have no idea.”
“My uncle Mav, he was the one to worked with you guys for a project a while back. Uh, The Darkstar projects?”
“Yes! That was him?! Everyone was talking about it! He reached so high on the list that day and survived being ejected.”
Both girls laughed, kept chatting and smiling the whole time.
Amber decided to walk her around the building and probably head out to lunch later on. Elena smiled liking that idea very much, holding the door for her as they walked out of the room. Realizing they had nothing to worry about, it was all Jake’s fault that they were so nervous in the first place.
Little did they know Jake Seresin was sitting across the room with Rachel, Javy and Neil watching the whole thing, with his jaw on the floor. He glad they didn’t hate each other or anything but he wasn’t expecting for it to go so well.
Neil was laughing at his reaction and muttering, “Your screwed now.”
“W-what just happened?” Jake asked, sipping his glasses of a water.
Rachel snorted, “I think your sister just stole your girl. Honestly i don’t blame Amber, she’s cool. I’ll date her.”
That was when Jenny walked in with a smirk hearing her and asked, “Who would you date, Frosty?”
“Uh huh? What? Shut up, I’mma shut up now.” Rachel said, rested her head on her shoulder.
“Weirdo.” Jenny repiled with a scoff, grins at Javy and asks, “What we talking about?”
Javy grinning back and chuckles, “The Seresin siblings.”
“I made a huge mistake letting my sister and girlfriend meet, didn’t I?” Jake added downing his drink with a sigh.
His friends just laughed.
Thanks for reading this one! Tell me what did you think about it?

Thanks @inkweedandlizards and @alrightbuckaroo for the WIP Wednesday tags and hoping on @strandnreyes and @thisbuildinghasfeelings open tags 💗
I’ve been especially busy this week with life so here’s something I started a little while ago that I’m itching to write for when I have the time 📄 Hopefully I’ve found a good balance between the español and english that I can leave you without a translation atm ✍🏼
He pauses to consider TK’s question but his thoughts are interrupted as a loud, “Carlitos mijo,” rings across the crowded produce section. Carlos says a silent prayer that it’s not who thinks, the plea obviously fallen on deaf ears as he’s greeted by the to be expected presence of his mother, his wishful thinking dissipating as he sighs heavily. He’d know that voice and warm delighted expression anywhere, and he’s happy to see her, really he is, just not right now. Not with TK in tow on their totally casual just friends non-date.
In seconds she has rounded the aisles, past the crates filled with fruits and vegetables, a sage canvas bag gripped in her left hand. She comes to a standstill in front of the pair, and Carlos greets her with a wide smile plastered across his features. Hoping his slight displeasure is non apparent and thankful when she doesn’t seem to notice. She tugs him into a tight hug and a kiss to both his cheeks.
“Mamá it’s nice to see you,” he manages to stutter out. “What are you doing here?” he asks, as she releases her arms from their embrace.
Andrea frowns as she begins to recant a familiar story. “Your tía Elena y su novio Javier are coming for dinner,” she answers. “Pero ya sabes cómo es ella,” she adds with a roll of her eyes. Carlos can’t hide his grimace either. “Lo sé Mamá,” he says, all too familiar with his aunt and her many opinions. Especially regarding his mother’s cooking, a complaint always found on the tip of her tongue that she can’t help but to verbalise. He wishes Andrea would stop keeping up appearances with her, or that Gabriel would at least have a word with his sister.
“I need a few things for pozole rojo,” she finally answers him before Carlos interrupts, already irritated on her behalf. “Sabes no debes dejar que ella te trate así,” he implores. “Tienes toda la razón,” she agrees and he raises an eyebrow in surprise. She usually isn’t so quick to agree and he knows there’s more to the story this time but he doesn’t want to press. “Sé que lo soy,” he affirms, as she offers a tight smile patting his cheek, apparently grateful for his level-headedness. Though it’s obvious she wants to move on from the conversation.
TK bounces slightly beside him, not moving to speak before prompted and clearly not wanting to interrupt them. Andrea seems to finally take notice of his presence, chastising Carlos in the process as she introduces herself. “You’ll have to excuse my son as he’s obviously forgotten his manners, I’m Andrea,” she says holding her hand out. TK halts his nervous movement and raises his hand from his side to take her palm in his for a warm polite handshake. “Te juro,” she laments, “I taught him better.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” TK returns with a small genuine smile on his face, before dropping her hand, his own falling back into place against his hip, brushing for a moment against Carlos’ own. Carlos curses internally, awkwardly waving his hand in the direction of TK’s body. “Mamá, this is my friend TK.”

Alcina's New Maid Pt. 11 Lady Dimitrescu x Reader
Summary: Lady Dimitrescu brings you in as one of her maids, at least, that's what you thought she brought you to the castle for.
Warnings: 18+ minors DNI
Tags: flirty, fluffy
Notes: Part 11!
Click here for the rest of the series
Tumblr media
Alcina leads you out of the library so the two of you can meet up with everyone outside in the carriage gate. You say your goodbyes to the kids, giving each one of them a hug and kiss. When you get to Ana you hold her tight and kiss her on the head.
"You're doing a great job kid, I'm so proud of you."
"I love you." She says holding you tighter.
"I love you too."
As she climbs into the carriage you look at the rest of the kids.
"Listen to me, you all better listen to Ana, you hear? If I find out that you all aren't treating her with the same respect you gave me, you're all going to be in big trouble. Got it?" You say with a smile.
The kids all nod their heads and respond with "yes's."
Last but not least, you pick up Elena and told her tight.
"Be good, okay? I need you to listen to Ana for me, can you do that?"
"Yea."
"Good. I love you kiddo. I'll see you soon, okay?"
"I'm not scared anymore." Elena says, looking at you.
"What?" You ask, not having any idea of what she's talking about.
"Of the tall Lady, I'm not scared of her anymore."
A smile crosses your face as you look back at the little girl in your arms.
"Well good, I'm glad to hear that."
"She takes good care of you, and you like her, so I like her." She says with a toothy smile.
"I'm happy you're not scared of her anymore love."
"When am I going to see you again?"
"Soon honey, I promise. You guys gotta get home, I love you so much." You say, hugging her tightly once more.
"I love you too y/n."
You put her in the carriage and she takes a seat between Crina and Ana. Turning to your aunt, she looks up at Alcina.
"Thank you very much my Lady for hosting us today. The children and I had a wonderful time. And thank you, for taking such great care of my niece." There's an edge to her voice in her last sentence that makes your stomach knot a little. Alcina immediately picks up on it, but as usual her mask is impenetrable, only flashing your aunt a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes.
"It was my pleasure." Alcina responds. "Y/n, the girls and I will be in the dining room when you're finished saying your goodbyes."
Alcina tucks a strand of hair behind your ear and looks into your eyes, her thumb running over your cheek bone. Her eyes flash towards your aunt for a second, as if she's warning her, letting your aunt know that you belong to her. Alcina drops her hand and the girls follow her inside.
The goodbye with your aunt was short and a little tense, you're not sure why but you chalk it up to the fact that she spent the entire day with arguably most feared Lord in the whole village and her daughters.
For the first time in months, you have dinner with Alcina and the girls. Every time you looked over at Alcina, she had the most beautiful smile on her face, even when it was small. The girls even seemed to notice their mothers happier attitude. None of them said it out loud, but from the looks they were giving each other, it didn't go unnoticed.
After dinner, you all head to the library and pick out books to read. Alcina reclaims her spot on the couch and you decide to sit next to her. A few chapters in, without realizing it, you find yourself resting your head against her arm while you read. Alcina smiles down at you and the girls silently give each other looks of excitement. Alcina catches them and shoots a look their way and they quickly go back to what they were doing.
When it's time to head off to bed, the five of you head up the stairs. Before going your separate ways, the girls each give their mother a kiss and Daniela gives you a big hug and they head off in the direction of their chambers.
You and Alcina walk quietly, side by side towards your rooms. She passes her door and stops between your room and hers. Looking down at you, she has a warm smile on her face.
"Thank you again for today, it really meant a lot to me."
"It's the least I could do, y/n."
Alcina brings her hand to your face and gently cups it, you close your eyes and lean into her touch. After a moment you open your eyes, meeting her gorgeous gold irises staring down at you lovingly.
"Goodnight Alcina."
"Goodnight, draga mea. Sweet dreams."
The next morning you wake up to the smell of breakfast. Rolling over, you see the tray on your nightstand with a note sitting on it.
Y/n, I had a wonderful time with you yesterday. I hope you enjoyed the surprise and the time you had with the children. I must admit, watching you with the youngest was one of the highlights of my day. The love you have for those children poured out of you, it filled me with a warmth I almost forgot existed. You would make a wonderful mother, draga mea. I am truly happy you had a wonderful day. Love always, Alcina
After breakfast you went into the library to find a new book. You pick up one that piqued your interest, and decide to head to the courtyard to read since it's beautiful outside. On your way, you see Stefana across the main hall, you try and avoid her gaze but her sight is locked onto you. The scowl on her face was intense, you two only broke eye contact when one of the other maids, a friend of hers, pulled her into another room. At least she has one person around her that's smart enough to try and help her get out of her own way.
As you make your way outside, you hear the faint sound of a piano. Abandoning your plan to read for the moment, you follow the sound back into the castle. The sound gets louder as you approach another door, putting your ear to it, you hear the piano and a beautiful voice quietly accompanying it. You notice a set of stairs in the small room you're in and decide to head up them.
Once you're upstairs, you go through another door as you follow the sound and realize that you're on the second floor of the castles opera room. The large room is dark, especially compared to how bright it is outside, there's only a handful of candles illuminating the main level. Quietly, you make your way to the banister and you see Alcina sitting at the piano below you. Her gloveless fingers effortlessly gliding across the ivory keys, you notice her eyes are closed as she softly sings along to what she's playing. You don't know the song she's playing, but you think it sounds like jazz. Watching her is captivating, the way her foot gently presses against the pedals, how her long fingers hit every note perfectly, the way her eyebrows knit together and her shoulders move when she plays a chord and sings along.
Everything before your eyes is beautiful. You put your arms on the banister and lean forward, your chin resting on your arms as you listen. This is Alcina, peaceful, effortlessly beautiful, yet has all of the elegance of a noblewoman. The song comes to and end and you hold your breath, afraid to disturb her.
"Draga, I know you're there." She says, her eyes not leaving her hands resting on the piano keys. Alcina looks up and her beautiful golden eyes meet yours. A blush rises in your cheeks, you feel like you were caught spying on someone's private, intimate moment. In a way, you kind of were. "Come down here." Her voice is soft, welcoming. You bashfully make your way towards the piano after you go down the stairs of the opera hall and stand a few feet away.
"Sorry, I didn't- you sounded beautiful. Your playing, your singing, everything." She motions for you to come closer and you stand next to the piano. "How long did you know I was there for?"
"Since you walked in, I immediately heard your heartbeat, once you were by the banister I was able to smell you." She says with a smile.
"Oh."
"If it were anyone else, I would not have continued."
"Why not?"
"Because I only share private moments like these with very few people."
"Has Zina heard you play, or sing, before?"
She exhales a chuckle. "Yes, she has. Although she was here for many years before I felt comfortable enough to allow her to watch."
Tilting your head at her a bit, you look at her. "I guess I understand, but I mean, you're amazing. You sound like you should be on stage performing in front of people."
"Well I did draga mea, I was a very well known jazz singer. I performed all over the world."
"Wait, what? Really?"
"Yes, I had a band and we traveled the world." She looks off into the distance, her eyes glowing with the memories of her past. A small smile graces her perfectly red lips. "We became very popular for our time, it was wonderful. I loved it, being on the stage every night, the adoring fans, the music, the money, the booze. It was one of the best times of my life."
"Wow, Alcina, I had no idea. Why did you stop?" The glow in her eyes fades along with her smile, a far away look replaces it, as if her happy memories are now clouded with grey. After a moment of silence, you break it. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry."
She looks back at you, her golden eyes meeting yours. The corner of her lips curves up and she waves her hand.
"Don't be, it's quite alright. I inherited a hereditary blood disorder, I didn't start showing symptoms until after we began our tour. The strain on my body caused the disorder to flare up in excess, leaving me bed-ridden. All of the long nights, the constant travel, the smoking, the alcohol, the stress, the symptoms started off mild but within a few years, I was dying."
You take a step forward and place your hand on her arm.
"Alcina, I'm so sorry. I had no idea."
She meets your gaze and looks at you as if she's drinking you in. The worry lines on your forehead, the sympathy in your eyes, the way your lips are just barely parted.
"That was lifetimes ago draga," she takes your hand into hers. "there's nothing to feel sorry for."
"What happened? If- if you don't mind me asking."
"We stopped touring and eventually the band broke up, after the second world war I came back here, back home, to die, and found that Mother Miranda had taken over the village. She promised me fortune, my family's castle, eternal life, and a cure. So without a second thought I accepted her proposition. And the rest my dear, is history."
"So she-"
"Saved my life, yes. And eventually gifted me the girls." She sees your eyebrows raise a bit at that. "But that's a story for another day."
You look at her for a few moments, studying each feature on her beautiful face, you knew that she had to be immortal or something, but for whatever reason, it never dawned on you that she had an entire life before she became what she was now. The way she commanded the attention of everyone in the room, well it wasn't a surprise that she was a performer, but the way she did it, you never thought of anything but the current moment you were in. There was never room to think of the past, her past, or the future, only what was right in front of you here and now. You realize that there's probably very, very few people in her life that know anything about her history. And here you are, in the opera room, a room that's practically off-limits to every maid, with her, asking about her past. What blows your mind is that she's actually indulging you, letting you ask what you want, and is answering them without a single glare or sharp tone.
You're brought back to reality when you feel her brush a strand of hair away from your face.
"What is going on in that little head of yours? Hm?" She asks.
You feel the blush creep back up your cheeks and you look down for a moment, a little embarrassed, and look back up at her.
"It's a little dumb, but, I never really thought about what your life was like before, all of this. It's almost hard to believe you had a 'normal' life before everything happened." She chuckles at your finger quotes around the word 'normal.' "But I also realize how lucky I am that you feel comfortable enough to tell me, to let me ask questions and for you to actually answer them."
"Well draga, I would hardly say that my life before was normal. I was born into nobility, given the title Countess at birth, I had chambermaids and servants and I never had to lift a finger. My life before was far from normal."
"I guess that's fair." You say with a chuckle.
"Although, I wouldn't consider you lucky by way of me allowing you to ask about my past. As my partner, my lover, it's things like this you should know. I would be quite the terrible partner to deny you any kind of look into my past." Hearing her call you her partner, her lover, makes you swoon a bit. The two of you never officially got back together, honestly when you think about it, the two of you never officially established your relationship in the first place. But you know for her to refer to you as that, she's serious. Serious about your relationship, about mending it, about making it work. Just little things like that prove how much she cares about you, how she's so confidant that things will work out. It relieves you a little realizing that she wants this just as badly as you do. "Even if there are some things I prefer not to discuss at the moment, when the time is right, you will learn everything. I certainly hope that you feel the same regarding your past as well."
"Oh, yeah, absolutely. Do you have any questions about mine? I mean, you already know just about everything there is to know about me."
"Do I?" She asks, cocking an eyebrow.
"Well, yeah, my parents died in a fire when I was about eight, I was sent to live with my aunt and uncle. I was pretty much their servant, helped raise the kids, and then one day the youngest almost got ran over by a carriage pulled by, what I think were, horses and I knocked her out of the way to save her, and here we are." You say with a smile.
"Do you have any more questions for me?"
"Um, yeah actually, if you don't mind."
"Not at all draga mea." She says, looking intently at you.
You look up at her sheepishly, her eyes captivating you in a way that makes your heart flutter and your brain turn to mush a little.
"Can you play something else?" You ask, looking down at the piano.
A smile graces her lips, she gently tosses her head back and laughs and looks back at you.
"Of course." She pats her lap and you walk closer to her. She lifts you and sits you in her lap. "Is there something in particular you'd like to hear?"
"No, as long as I get to hear you sing again." You say, looking up at her.
Alcina smiles and kisses your temple, you lean into her a little and close your eyes and relax. You can feel her nose nudging you behind your ear. You can smell the wine and a hint of cigarettes on her breath, her perfume is surrounding you, as if you're being wrapped in a blanket of it.
You feel Alcina shift under you and you hear the first notes of the song being played. With your eyes closed, your head resting back on her chest, you feel her lips by your ear and she begins to sing. Her voice is smooth like velvet, even though she's singing quietly, you can feel the power she's holding back. You rise with her chest as she inhales, you can feel her abdomen contract underneath you as she sings. Her voice transports you into another realm, the low-pitch washes over you, a sense of calmness floods your body, a relaxation you haven't felt in such a long time. If someone saw you, they'd think you were fast asleep, but you're not, you're aware of every sense that surrounds you. The way her hot breath feels against your neck, the tapping of her foot on the pedals, you feel Alcina's shoulder shift as her hands glide across the keys. It's as if the two of you are dancing, where she's the leader and is gently guiding your body through the music.
She sings the last lyrics, the notes of the piano ringing out into the opera hall, reverberating through the air. The note slowly fades out, leaving the room in a blanket of quiet where the only sounds are her breath and yours. Alcina's hands stay on the ivory piano keys when you open your eyes and turn your head to look up at her. She looks down at you, her eyes boring into yours, your lips curl into a smile and so do hers.
You don't know who made the first move, but you feel her lips against yours and without realizing it, you let out a sigh of relief. Alcina smiles into the kiss and her hand leaves the piano keys and cradles the back of your head, her other hand reaches the side of your neck, her fingers sprawled out across your jaw and cheek. Your fingers find her soft raven hair and tangle into them as the two of you pull each other closer, deepening the kiss. The tip of her tongue slips between your lips and you welcome her in immediately, greeting her tongue with yours. The moment they connect you feel a bolt of electricity shoot through your body, a moan emerges from the back of your throat and she swallows it, kissing you harder when she does.
Alcina's hand grasps the back of your head tighter and you respond by sucking on her bottom lip. You feel a low, passionate growl in her chest. Her hand leaves your face and reaches for the piano, shutting the fallboard. When you hear it shut she lifts you from her lap onto the fallboard, not once breaking the kiss. At this angle, the two of you are practically at eye-level. Her hands rest on your hips and yours tangle further into her hair. She swirls her tongue around yours before pulling away, a desperate whine escaping your lips.
The next second you feel her lips on your jaw, her hands sliding up to hold tightly onto your waist. She kisses, licks and gently nips your jawline down your neck, across your throat and to the other side, pulling out tiny mews and whines from your lips. When Alcina reaches your pulse point she pauses and deeply inhales your scent, softly groaning as she exhales. She kisses and sucks on your pulse point like she does before she bites down, but you know that's not her intention so you give her more access to let her know you trust her. Her hands slide up your shirt, her chilled skin resting on your bare waist, leaving goosebumps in their wake.
Kissing her way back up your neck and jaw, Alcina pulls you in for another deep kiss. You lips feel swollen against hers, the coolness of her lips soothing your burning skin. You want her, bad. You want her to take you right here on top of the piano. In this moment, nothing else exists, not your future, not your past, not another single soul, just the two of you.
As if she can read your mind, Alcina slows the kiss and gently pulls away and brings her hands down to your hips. She looks at you through hooded eyes, her pupils blown, the two of you panting.
"We shouldn't- we have to stop." She says softly. You can see it in her eyes she doesn't want to, but despite your pout, you know she's right. "We can't- it's not that I don't want to-"
"I know." You whisper.
Alcina rests her forehead against yours and your lips find hers once more. This kiss was one of understanding, one that symbolizes two people who don't want to stop, but know that it's in their best interest, and could be a huge mistake, if they didn't. Her lips leave yours and rest against your forehead, her nails gently scratching the fabric of you pants against your hips.
"Can we just, be together, just for a little while?" You ask, nuzzling into her neck.
Without saying a word, Alcina pulls you into her and lifts you off of the piano. You wrap your legs around her waist and she carries you to one of the couches and lays down, propping herself up against the arm a bit, with you on top of her. She runs her fingers through your hair while you lay on her chest, neither of you saying a word, just enjoying being with each other. Her nails trace patterns and shapes across the shirt on your back, your thumb gently caresses her jaw.
You get lost in her golden eyes for a moment before she gently presses her lips against yours again. The two of you lay together for what felt like an eternity, but was probably at least an hour. Truthfully, if it was up to the both of you, you would have never left the opera room. Your little hideaway, your escape, a place that you never entered before today, but suddenly feels so sacred.
As you lay your head down on your pillow that night, the warmth of her, the comfort she brought you still lingered on you. For the first time in what felt like a long time, you fell asleep in an instant with a satisfied smile on your face. In her chambers, Alcina closes her eyes and falls fast asleep, knowing the person she loves most is falling asleep with a smile on her face too.

Do you think Elejah could have worked?
Tumblr media
Y'all aren't going to like this one.
No, I don't and I don't typically even like to think of them as a ship.
First, I think people want to create romantic ships anywhere there is any kind of connection. Elijah clearly is drawn to Elena's innocence and compassion, but to me, it was never romantic. Rather he saw more of Tatia in her and even who he used to be. One reason I never liked Elijah with any doppelganger was because it always just felt like a replacement for his first love. He was trying to hold onto what he lost, which isn't a good foundation for a relationship.
Second, Elijah is my favorite so I like to headcannon that he is above dating minors. All of my favorite ships started with adults. Yes, there are still crazy age gaps but at least with consenting adults. When Elijah met Elena, she was like 17 or maybe 18. While 18 is legally an adult, she was still in high school and very much in a different mindset than Elijah. I know Elijah was attracted to Katherine when she was human, but again, I like to headcannon that she was a little older. It just makes it all less creepy.
But since you asked, I will entertain the thought, but I still don't think they would work.
I personally don't think any crossover from Mystic Falls and New Orleans would work relationship-wise. The Mikaelsons tormented the MF gang. Klaus killed Elena's aunt, her friends, her, etc. By being with Elijah, it would bring her close to Klaus since Elijah would never abandon his family for her.
They also wanted very different things out of life. Elena wanted to live a normal human life. While this is something Elijah may have fantasized about, he would never take the cure and leave his siblings behind. Elena also wanted to stay in Mystic Falls, a place that was far too small and quiet for the Mikaelsons. Elena wanted a quiet human life, something the Mikaelsons would never really have. Choosing to be with Elijah would mean choosing to put herself up against all of their enemies. A quiet life in Mystic Falls would be impossible. Elena would have to sacrifice the life she wanted because we know Elijah wouldn't sacrifice being with his family.
Thanks for the ask! I hope it wasn't a disappointing answer!
