Random question but if you were to make a nyssa al ghul playlist (of songs that you associate with her/whos lyrics remind you of her) what songs would you put on there? I’m making a Nyssa playlist and I’m stumped
god that's a good ass question. it's such a good question that i wish i had better answers for it bc i have no fucking clue bestie. i always liked to imagine if i could tell her from dear evan hansen was a conversation between Nyssa and Laurel about Sara but that might be the Lauryssa shipper in me. thinking on her Raatko name, it would be funny to include that uhh am i a lady... or am i a rat? sound. maybe...
death is a teacher by eden iris - seriously she knows so many dead and undead people
second child, restless child by the oh hellos - i'm pretty sure nyssa is the fourth child but like she's the second alive one
cult leader by king mala - league of assassins
she calls me daddy also by king mala - its a v lesbian4bi song
carnival of carnage by calypso - league of assassins
castle by halsey - league of assassins
anastasia's villain song by lydia the bard - league of assassins
i'll make you love me by kat leon and sam tinnesz - nyssara
you don't own me by grace and g-eazy - league of assassins AND daddy issues
you should see me in a crown by billie - again, league of assassins
boyfriend by dove cameron - yKNOW nyssa delights in getting girls to like her more than their boyfriends
Tumblr media
i hope these are sufficient 🫡

Gracie and Oak's playdate went really well and they ended up good friends by the time they hugged goodbye.
"Thanks for having me over, Gracie! I've had a really fun first day at school!" he exclaimed.
"Bye Oak! Get home safely!" she replied.
Tumblr media
Evan had decided to postpone his birthday party to Saturday morning so that he could have a pool party. He invited his friends Talia, Stephen and Daniel over and everyone gathered outside (well, mostly everyone - Megan was upstairs playing with her toys).
Tumblr media
Everyone gathered around the birthday cake and Evan stood in front of it, excited to blow out his own candles for the very first time.
"Make a wish, Evan!" said Ramona.
Evan thought carefully and blew...
Tumblr media
... and aged up into a teenager! Yay! He's a Pleasure Sim, like his dad, and he's straight and into thick girls that are great dancers but not charismatic. Sure, makes sense I guess!
I think there's one curvy townie teen who's escaped the curse of the skipping rope on the community lots, so we'll have to wait and see if he has any chemistry with her. Otherwise, he might have some chemistry with some of the other playables when they age up, but we only really have five families so I don't want everyone intermarrying. There are four O'Donnell kids, four kids between the Neetors and the Rossellinis (all cousins), three Hudson kids and two Grimsbane kids (with the potential for more if something happens between Iris and Derrick). The only unrelated child is Elliott Hansen-Wiggins. Lots of these Gen 2s are going to be marrying townies, I suspect!

Nana Sawada never loved her husband Iemitsu Sawada the only reason she even married him at all was because she wanted to study about the Flames of the Mafia and he happen to one of the rarest flame so she married in order to learn more about his Sky flame and it's Element in general and the only good thing about marrying him was the birth of their daughtet Tsunami Sawada their five years old daughter who recently  had her flame sealed before leaving for work. After they left Japan, nana removed the seal on her daughter and she took her and tsunami to England were the meet the 9 years old Amaris Dorea Potter in the park who Nana adopted since any evidence the Dursley are abusing their neices disappear without reason and the one on their caste fosen't remember at thing so Nana presume a core witch/wizard wants them to stay their but Amaris abandon by her so call relatives so Nana manged to adopt her with the help of the Goblins who gaved Amaris the Heir ring of both the Black and Peverell family. After Nana adopted Amaris legally to both Magical and Muggle world they return to Japan.
Nana also hidden that she adopted a 9 years old girl from her husband. She taught both her daughters magic along with her parents more of Lyra Elymas née Black who taught her everything she knows before entering Mahoutokoro school of Magic.
Amaris and Tsunami got to know each other and got along well became so close like real sisters which is something Amaris Dorea and Iris Lily Potter has never had bond with each other even though they are twins. They were never close grewing up since they were far to different to one another even though Tsunami is different from Amaris they still get along well with one another.
9 year later....
Tumblr media
Amaris Dorea Potter now 17 years old and recently graduated Mahoutokoro school of Magic. And she has became one of the seven master of Holy grail war and summon the servant Hero Gilgamesh the King of Hero himself as Servant Archer. Amaris fight along side her servant through the war but during the middle of war they both fell in love with one another.
During the destruction of the Holy Grail a taint mud spill out of the grail and end up touch Gilgamesh and infoing so cause him to have a body of flesh and bone once more. Amaris purified Gilgamesh new body before leaving Fuyuki. As one of the survivng master of the grail.
        The Vongola family sent the Sun Arcobaleno to tutor the only heir of Vongola left the 14 years old daughter of Iemitsu Sawada. To train Tsunami Sawada as the future 10 Boss of Vongola since the other legitimate candidate as the next boss all died and she is the last Legitimate heir, so the Sun Arcobaleno Reborn was sent to Namimori to teach Tsunami to be tge next Vongola Boss. No matter how much she deny wanting to be next candidate as the Vongola Boss which is blood inherite so no one who isn't blood related to the Vongola could inherit the seat.

Tumblr media
9 years has pass since Iris Lily Potter last seen her younger twin sister who tge dursley abandon her somewhere I thought she was long dead or a squib since she never appeared in Hogwarts when we both turn 11 years old but I was proven mistaken after the war end a couple montgs ago I took an inheritence test it show that Amaris is still vety much alive and a witch that only meqns she could have gone in different magical school than Hogwarts so she would most likely have grew up outside England and away from the war when it broke out.
I also found out the friends I thought I have weren't really my friends at all they were all with her because of the money my old headmaster has been paying them since the beging of their first year and the only reason they efen help her tract down all the dark lord's horcrux and destroy them in order for their family to survive they help her tract them all down. She also potion in her system that wasn't suppose to be their at all. She payed the goblins handsomely to flash out all the potion in her system before asking them all retrived all her stolen money get it back with intrest.
After the war she didn't want to stay in England, she decided to reunite with her sister while they didn't always get along, but then again siblings fight sometimes but they are still family. When she was leaving England, 
Tumblr media
Draco Malfoy decided to join her since nothing is holding him back in England. And during their 4th year they became secretly friends so it was no suprise to them both that they fell in love.
They both settle in japan quite nicely, while Iris Potter dose miss her godson Teddy  Lupin who is currently beging raised by his grandmother Andromeda Tonks who lost almost all her family except for her godson which is why Iris isn't the one raising Teddy since he is the one one holding Andromeda from taking her own life and join the rest of her family.
It wasn't long before Iris Potter saw her younger twin sister the current lady of the house of Black and Peverell. Amaris and Iris are catching up to the lost time they both have when they were both sepereted from one another. Iris even meet Amaris current fiancée Gilgamesh
Tumblr media
Who they found out was once a heroic spirit until ancident happen during the fourth Holy Grail War that made him bone and flash. Which Amarus has purified his new body after words just incase before they left the Area and continue their life. He once was a king during his first life before he became a Heroic spirit. They got to know him Iris like him better than her ex-friend Ron Weasley. 
   During that time Iris Potter also meet her twin's adopted sister Tsunami and her adopted mother Nana, she got along with the two people who was with Amaris after they seperated. Nana evenutaly became Iris 2nd mother figure better than Molly Weasley ever did. 
Tsunami Sawada is try all she can to stop herself from become the next Mafia Boss of Vonogola.
       It wasn't long before Amaris Potter who now gose by the last name Peverell Black and Gilgamesh got married and Iris Potter and Draco Malfoy attend her wedding with her friends. It wasn't long after they got married that Amaris Peverell Black got pregnant with her first child.
And it wasn't long before Iris Potter and Draco Malfoy married as well. And Amaris it didn't take long for Iris to find herself Pregnant with her first child.
9 months later...
Amaris Dorea Peverell Black and Gilgamesh both wellcome two beautiful daughters on May 7, 1997 which they gaved them the name Euphemia Anastasia and Estella Amara Peverell Black. The oldest is born Raven hair little girl with the most beautiful Emerald green eyes while the youngest has strawberry blonde hair and Emerald green the same shade as her twin sister.
And two months after they were born did Iris Lily Malfoy née Potter gaved birth to a beautiful little girl she was given the name Lilian Narcissa Malfoy on July 7, 1997.
2 years later...
On June 22, 1999
Amaris Peverell Black gaved birth to her third child and only son Apollo Sirius Peverell Black.
And Iris Malfoy also gaved birth to her secound child and only son Scorpius James Malfoy on January 13, 1999 who look identical to his father Draco Malfoy while his cousin Apollo Prevell Black look so simlier to their grandfather James Potter.
By then the girls Euphemia, Estella and Lilan are 2 years old already.
-------
17 years later...
Tumblr media
Euphemia Anastasia Peverell Black who gose by the name Yufie is now 19 years old and she already graduated Mahoutokoro about 2 years ago. She could pass as the famale version of her grandfather James Potter except for her Emerald eyes which she has inherited from her grandmother Lily Potter née Evans.
Tumblr media
Then their's her younger twin sister Estelle Amara Peverell Black who gose by the name Stella. Who is also 19 years old like her twin sister who also graduated Mahoutokoro about 2 years ago.

Tumblr media
Then their's the only son of the Malfoy family and the only heir of the Malfoy's Scorpius James Malfoy who is also the same age as Apollo and slso recent graduate of Mahoutokoro.
By then Sawada Tsunami

And over time Tsunami's italian heritage surface when her appearance change she look nothing like she once did her Caramel brown hair turn Blonde and her once brown eyes turn light blue, and her hair became tameable unlike before. By then Tsunami

Monster High Fanfics
been working on a lot of them lately and one is with them all grown up with children of thier own, I can post an updated OC list if you want to see which ones I gave children to. Working on a NSFW Jackson Jekyll fanfic and  my OC Amber gave him a massive hickey,lol I also have quiet a few same sex couples in some of the stories. Also on wattpad I have two SFW fanfics and you can find them by using the user name I have here as it’s the same there. I need to work on my Valentine Fanfic, I stopped at the point where it’s discovered he in fact is the new lunar  god and a real road block in Sunfire’s crazy adoptive Aunt and Uncle’s scheme. I do have a story where Holt Hyde gets alot of attention much to Jackson’s annoyance and I have a few of them where Jackson and Holt are seperated from eachother making them thier own person, I also say they are brothers when like that.  For the Hickey or Love Bite as some call it, I’m trying to picture Jackson trying to explain that one when it becomes visable and the reactions the others would have to it,lol  I also have a fanfic with Invisi Billy and my OC Becca Cohen and let’s just say Scarah Screams is not to fond of her...and Cleo DeNile is not to fond to my OC Lyla Tigre,lol Also Lagoona doesn’t like my OC Eella Moray either, can’t help it thier boyfriends found those girls interesting,lol Lyla gets alot of attention since she actually plays sports with the mansters and her favorite to play is Casketball. Have quite a few Neighthan Rot fanfics as well, he’s always paired with my OC Alana but don’t worry she gets along with Frankie Stein as they are often seen hanging out together when Alana is not with Neighthan.
Here I’ll list the Children for you
Jayson Jekyll- Son of Jackson Jekyll and Amber Boltz
Heidi Hyde-Daughter of Holt Hyde and Amber Boltz (they are seperated hence the two different children.
Evan Valentine: Son of Kieran Valentine and Sunfire Appollo
Hellah Burns-Daughter of Heath Burns and Sophie Wesker
Loralei Webber-Daughter of Gillington”Gil” Webber and Eella Moray
Anju Gorgon-Daughter of Deuce Gorgon and Lyla Tigre
Sebastian Cohen-Son of Invisi Billy and Becca Cohen
Pawl Wolf-Son of Clawd Wolf and Centra Spencer
Storm and Nova Cohen-Daughters of Judas Cohen and his partner Tayler Jackal (both OC’s of mine)
Jareth Rot-Son of Neighthan Rot and Alana Jackal
Liam Geiss-Son of Porter Geiss and Spectra Vondergeist (she was the surragate as Porter has a partner named Loki Booreagard and they wanted a child so Spectra stepped in and helped them)
Lynx Tigre- Son of Tay Tigre and his partner Ketsu Marsh (agian both OC’s of mine)
Tsunami Kane- Son of Mako Kane and Lagoona Blue
Rodney Taur- Son of Manny Taur and Iris Clops
Moanique DeNile-Gorgon- daughter of Deuce Gorgon and Cleo DeNile (I felt bad breaking them up so I had him help her out by being the one who donated so she could have a baby with him and at this point her and Lyla get along with eachother)
Pawlette Wolf- Daughter of Clawdeen Wolf (adopted daughter to be exact)
Elmyra Dracula- Daughter of Draculaura and Kiren Valentine (Like with before he’s her doaner)
Lola Stein- Daughter of Frankie Stein (she built herself a daughter when she was ready to have children)
Lucas “Luke” Spirit- Son of Johnny Spirit and Operetta (We need a doll of Johnny Spirit)
Bryant Mortovich- Son of Sloman “Slo Mo” Mortovich and Ghoulia Yelps (his last name may be spelled wrong)
Luann Stripe-Daughter of Toralei Strip and Tay Tigre (he’s her doaner before anything is said as he is gay, it doesn’t mean he can’t help you by doanating)
Isaac “Ike” Bominable-Burns- Son of Heath Burns and Abby Bominable (again he’s her doaner)
I may update the list later as there are more I have yet to name and make profiles for.  As for some of the same sex couples having children, two have special ablites that allow them to have children where as Spectra helped Porter and Loki have a child. Storm and Nova Cohen are often in some kind of trouble with the others usually bailing them out. Jayson Jekyll is  Autistic and Lynx has ADHD. Jayson can’t stand loud noises,slimey textures and the only ones who can touch him are his family and friends, he freaks out if a stranger goes to touch him. He even freaks out if a doctor goes to touch him, his dad usually has to go in with him to keep him calm so he can get his check up. Jayson is also verbal meaning he can communcicate with you. Heidi is usually the one who calms Jayson down when he freaks out and she uses her noise cancling headphones to help him block out loud noises so he calms down. I have ADHD and I know someone who is Autistic, so I created these two this way for a reason and yes I was bullied for having ADHD as the idiots never took the time to do research on it so they thought I was to stupid to learn anything, fooled those idiots though, I’m way smarter then they thought I was. Also the person I know who is Autistic yeah they get picked on to so i made two special characters to help get to know these two spectrum disorders...and as Lady Gaga would say, I was born this way. Lynx’s dad Ketsu also has ADHD and if you read the story “Horror Movie Magic” On wattpad, when he comes in he and the other explain what ADHD is and how it affects a person, in the story with Jayson, now that he’s a teenager, he’s the one who comes out about Autisum and tries to help the others understand it and how it differs from person to person and how some are not verbal and can not communicate and how frustrating it is and Heidi shows how being willing to work with them is a learning experience for you and how you can help them as she works with her brother when they are much younger and works with him as a teenager as well. I can not stand bullies and do not like seeing people with Autisim and ADHD picked on just because one does not understand what is was and I just love the idiots who think a mental illness is contagious and try to avoid the person all together...newsflash for you idiots its not contagious the person is born that way and sometimes it’s not caught until way later in life.  Ketsu’s ADHD wasn’t caught until adulthood much like mine was but his sons was caught when he was in 4th grade. Jayson’s autisim wasn’t discovered until he was in 5th grade.  Also I read some head injuries can acually cause ADHD like symptoms and may eventally lead up to a diganoses of it. I’d rather take the time to learn about what a person has rather then jump to conclusions are treat them badly because I don’t understand it, it’s much easier for me to sit down and do research on what they have and get an understanding of it that way I get an understanding of them and what they have to go through with it. I’d rather treat everyone equally and like a human being, I’d rather reach out and help someone rather then push them away. So even though they are O.C’s created by me, Ketsu,Jayson and Lynx are special to me. Keep in mind everyone is special and unique in their own way. Be Yourself no matter what anyone else says, you are you, you are special in your own way, you were born the way you were. Monster High teaches us about acceptence, how everyone is different and how to be yourself.  Writing is an outlet for me and it helps me express myself and I love it when my writing also helps others. Another thing about me is, your sexuality doesn’t matter to me, you are a human being and deserve to be treated like one and that is shown with Heidi when her brother comes out as gay, she loves him no matter what,He’s her brother and if anyone picks on him because of it they end up dealing with Heidi and she’s not to pleasent when pissed off. Lyla is protective of her brother as he’s openly gay and still gets idiots on his case...Manny Taur but after Lyla beats the crap out of him he let’s Tay alone.   Oh and how does Lyla beat the crap out of Manny with her being way smaller them him, size doesn’t matter, she takes him down during football (or what ever it’s called in the monster high world) practice and beats the ever loving crap out of him for him bullying her brother Tay. Amber Also beats Manny up when she catches him picking on Jackson Jekyll, she also has to pull Jackson out of his locker but she still beats Manny’s ass for it. So yeah to these girls size does not matter...him picking on thier loved ones was his downfall. Sophie also beats the catnip out of Toralei because she get’s Heath into a whole heap of trouble and it did not sit well with Sophie who can mutate her hands into weapons, she can also mutate her body covering it with armor like skin so yeah Toralei doesn’t damage her at all. Fighting doesn’t really solve anything but in thier cases it teaches the bully what happens when you mess with some one they care deeply about. Edit :I updated the list.

okay since the PJO show is coming out soon, thought dump: evan is probably a child of Aphrodite, but I could see Apollo or Poseidon just as much tbh. regulus, I feel, could be a child of Hades, Athena, or Nike, but I also think it'd be really funny if he was a child of Iris or Nemesis. barty is either a child of athena or of hypnos. that is it. wait actually maybe zeus, I can See it. (it's funny because none of these are even the headcanons that follow me day and night. this literally just popped up in my head randomly)
most of these combos work work anyway for a trio, as long as no 2 have the same parent
found family my beloved

Chapter Twelve: The Snake’s Plan
Tumblr media
Summary: Beauxbaton’s biggest prankster has finally been expelled from the French boarding school. Having limited choices, Iris Evans is sent to join her sister at Hogwarts. As she adjusts to the new scenery, Lily’s twin makes new friends with a different array of people. Though there was no doubt that she would become friends with the Marauders.  
Word Count: 6759 
Blog Masterlist | Foxy Masterlist | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter
---
"NO! WE AREN'T DONE HERE, YOUNG LADY!" Craig shouted as he followed his middle child across the platform as she tried to avoid him. He had been ranting and raving ever since he found out about the kisses that Iris had shared with both Sirius and Derek. Of course, Iris had tried to make sure that he didn't find out about it, but Lily had to open her big mouth and tell both of their parents when she said she wouldn't.
Iris was slightly reluctant to tell Lily about what happened because she knew that something like this would have happened, which it did. But when the Marauders left the party yesterday and it was only the quartet of girls consisting of the twins, Marlene and Wendy, the other girls had instantly started to interrogate her on her interactions with the boys. They pointed out the closeness between Iris and Derek and the way that he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. They squealed at the gifts that both Sirius and Derek had given her and debated about the obvious attraction between the girl and both boys.
She had mentioned the kiss with Sirius by accident and nearly went deaf at the screams that the girls had let out. Eventually, they were able to get her to talk about the kiss between her and Derek as well after annoying her for a long time. She felt like she was going to vomit at how much of a girl they had forced her to be. She is not a girl to gossip and giggle about boys, but she had been forced to stup to the level of a girly-girl yesterday when they wouldn't leave her alone.
"I'm pretty sure we are!" She sassed over her shoulder as she pushed past a man with a briefcase who nearly toppled over at her abrupt movement. She was practically running around King's Cross while avoiding as many collisions with people as she could. Though occasionally she would end up bumping into an unsuspecting bystander who would drop their luggage or something.
As soon as Craig had pulled the car up to the train station, Iris bolted out of it with her trunk in order to get away from her father. He was already trying to give her a talk about boys and what not because he was far too overprotective over his daughters. He would do anything in his power to make sure that they stayed as pure and untouched as he wanted them to be. No boy was going to get close to them if he had a say in it! He really shouldn't have let any of those boys to step foot through the front door.
He really only got to talk with the sandy-haired boy, Remus Lupin. The boy proved to be quite the respectable young man and Craig approved of him greatly. The chubby boy, Peter Pettigrew, was strange, but he didn't expect anything else from a wizard, truthfully. He obviously had already met Derek and to him seemed like a nice boy. James Potter seemed like a charming boy, yet Craig was able to see through the interactions between Iris that he was already one of her best friends and could tell why Lily referred to him as an 'annoying toe-rag'. Craig was uncertain about the boy as he could tell he loved to cause trouble. The last boy from the magical school that had come to see Iris was obviously full of himself, Craig had observed. He was mischievous, a troublemaker and as big of a flirt as Iris(which he didn't want to admit to her being a big flirt). It was no surprise that Sirius Black was the one to kiss his little girl! Craig didn't like it. Not one bit!
"Far from it, Iris Evans!" Craig demanded as he started to gain on the teenager.
Lily and Octavia followed behind them at a slower pace. They didn't want to be publicly seen with them as they knew they were going to argue loudly. Neither mother nor daughter wanted to be embarrassed openly by Iris and Craig. Octavia giggled lightly as she saw her husband chase after their daughter shouting about continuing their conversation that was of the utmost importance to him. She was actually more excited about Iris seeming to show a greater interest in boys than her hysteric husband, much to his dismay.
For years, Iris had used boys as a source of entertainment. She played around with their emotions by teasing them and flirting with them. Octavia wasn't always the biggest fan to those interactions with boys for her, but she knew that at some point or another some boy was finally going to intrigue her. Though it seemed like it was two boys who had piqued Iris' interest.
Octavia thought that both boys were quite nice. Though Derek was by far much more of a goody-two-shoes when compared to the wizard. Sirius was a rambunctious teen who mirrored Iris' personality almost perfectly. She could honestly see Iris dating Sirius on the fact that they were so much alike. Octavia could also see Iris and Derek possibly being a couple because Derek was the complete opposite of Iris. But it wasn't her decision to make, Iris had to choose for herself. Iris may have experience with messing with people who fancied her and recognizing such emotions, but Octavia was certain that Iris was going to have a hard time recognizing her own feelings and dealing with them. It was most certainly going to be interesting to see how everything panned out for the teen. However, if nothing turned out to be as perfect for her little girl as she thought it would end up being, Octavia was more than willing to help Iris and be a shoulder to cry if needed(which she hoped was not needed because she didn't like seeing any of her daughters cry).
"Dad's overreacting," Lily pointed out as she carried her trunk beside her. "It was bound to happen at some point, Iris kissing the two of them."
Her mother nodded his head, "yes, I'm sure. But you know how your father can get about boys!"
They followed the tail of disgruntled people who grumbled under their breath about a rude girl and enraged man to find Craig and Iris waiting by the barrier. Iris had her arms crossed over her chest with a peeved off expression. Craig's face was completely red in frustration and annoyance as his mouth moved at a mile a minute as he continued to rant about the boys.
"-Under my roof as well! I'm happy for you for experiencing your first -and second- kiss, but I would have appreciated them not being in our house!"
Iris scoffed absentmindedly, "they weren't my first kisses."
It took a moment for her words to sink into his mind but as soon as they did he blanched. That seemed to open even more floodgates for the man and would earn her far more arguing. Octavia rested a hand on her husband's forearm and sighed. "You can finish your lecture when they come back, she'll miss the train if you keep trying to reprimand her."
Craig glared down at his wife due to the fact that she did have a point. He stared at her long and hard before turning his glare onto his glowering middle child. "Fine, go." He huffed out, "have fun at school, but as soon as your back-!" He pointed at her, "we'll continue this discussion."
Iris rolled her eyes for what seemed the be the thousandth time since she had woken up. "Sure, dad." Her voice was lame and monotone as she knew that she wouldn't pay attention to his lecture later just like she was now.
Octavia moved away from him and embraced Iris in a loving hug, "go easy on your dad, Iris." She let go and held her daughter at arm's length, "he's just worried about you."
"He's got a strange way of showing it…"
Her mother chuckled and smothered down some of the red locks on top of Iris' head. "He's worried. You've never shown this kind of interest in anyone before!"
Iris could already tell that her mother was going to be just as girly as the rest of her friends. "I know that, but he doesn't have to shout at me about it."
Octavia smiled slightly, "just be good, okay? Don't get into too much trouble." She moved over to her youngest daughter and hugged her as well. "Make sure she doesn't get herself expelled again," she whispered into Lily's ear as she knew if she said it out loud, Iris would throw a fit over her words. "Do good with your studies and send us letters at least once a month to keep us updated."
"Okay, mum." Lily replied with a blinding smile.
Once the family of four(Petunia had fussed about staying home so no one fought her on it and left her alone) finished saying their farewells, the twins grabbed their trunks and piled them onto a trolly in order to push them through the barrier. Their surroundings melted away to reveal the vibrant platform with the Hogwarts Express sitting patiently on the tracks. They got their trunks put away and started their search for their friends and a compartment.
---
It only took them a few minutes to find Marlene who had jumped onto them in a warm hug in a greeting. Next, was Wendy who they found in a compartment already. The four conversed happily with each other and the two other girls couldn't help but notice a certain scent surrounding Iris.
"Are you wearing perfume, Iris?" Asked Wendy as she brushed some of her ebony hair from her face.
Iris scowled slightly and turned her head away in what seemed to be deviance, "yes."
Her sister shook her head, "I don't know why you're upset about it."
"It's from Severus! I do not and will not be associated with anything that has to do with him!" She seethed and crossed her arms tightly over her chest.
"You two could make up…" Lily trailed off as she knew her sister would be as stubborn as usual. Yes, she was angry with Severus. However, she wanted all of them to be friends once again. Severus had been becoming distant to both of them and she didn't like it one bit. She knew that what Severus had done, more like didn't do, had shown that there was something slightly changing in him and it was obviously not for the better. She wanted to make sure that the other Slytherins who Severus had made friends with weren't feeding him their perspectives on blood-purity in the wizarding community. She didn't want to lose one of her greatest friends that she had since she was ten. Even if their friendship did end, Lily wanted it to be on good terms.
Iris scoffed, "make up?" The thought seemed to be absurd to her. How could she make up with a wanker who didn't stand up for her while his friends insulted her? If he wasn't willing to say something to them and stop them from calling one of his closest friends 'Mudblood', like she has done multiple times in the past, she wasn't going to easily forgive him. If he wanted her forgiveness, he'd have to show he was worthy of it.
"Why would you want to make up with that git?" Marlene practically shouted, "he's lucky I wasn't around. So are Malfoy and Black, I would have cursed their areses!"
Iris agreed wholeheartedly. She didn't want to use the perfume that Severus had gifted them at Christmas! Lily had practically forced the fragrance on her by nearly pouring the entire contents of the vial onto her. Nothing could stop Lily from getting her to dawn the surprisingly nice smelling perfume. Not even Iris' arguments about Severus' suspicious and distant activity could sway the younger sisters actions. They seemed to only encourage Lily to try harder. She must have only seen it as a way for Iris and Severus to make up. If Severus knew that Iris was wearing the gift that he had given her, then he would try to make amends with her. Fat chance!
Surprisingly, Lily had thought that Iris was willing to work it out with Severus after she attacked the girl with the perfume. As soon as the fragrance had been sprayed on her, it was almost like she had forgotten why she was angry at Severus and even asked about him. Lily thought that it was progress to trying to get their relationship off of the rocks. Though after a few moments, Iris was back to being angry… and didn't even remember her calm words about the boy. It was strange, but Lily brushed it off. Iris was a strange girl.
"I have to agree to an extent," Wendy commented, "he didn't stand up for her. A friend should do that without a doubt. He's got to apologize to her for what he didn't do."
Lily nodded her head slowly as her eyes moved towards the floor. She had to admit that yes, she was offended and angry with Severus. But unlike her twin, she was far more forgiving. "He should. Yes, he really should explain and apologize to you." She replied reluctantly while looking up to Iris.
As their conversation about the relationship between the twins and Severus came to a close, there was a knock at the compartment door. The four heads turned to see two tall shadows looming in the foggy glass windows. Each girl shared a quick, confused look with each other. Iris, being the closest to the door, stood up and slide the door open.
"Hello, Evans," the black haired boy that was revealed from behind the door. His smug smirk greeted the compartment's occupants who were scowling. He tutted as he saw their malice filled looks, "now, now. Don't look so upset."
Next to him, Lucius smirked as well, "to think, we only wished to be kind and greet you lovely blood-traitors after the break." In his usual fashion, his lip was pulled back in a sneer. You would think that if Lucius held such a hatred for anyone he saw as a mudblood or a blood-traitor he would distance himself as much as he could from those he thought tarnished the image of the wizarding world. Yet, for some strange reason, he allowed himself and Regulus to constantly be around and bother Iris; a mudblood, in his words.
Both of the boys surveyed the small group before zeroing in on the glowering girl who had opened the door. Iris' narrowed eyes moved between the two of them and it was quite obvious that her brown irises were drenched in annoyance and hatred.
Then dull grey eyes connected with fiery chocolate ones as the two teens stared at each other…
The fire that seemed to burn in the teen girl's eyes slowly died. It looked like her eyes had glazed over slightly and lost focus. She facial expression fell and lost its menacing glare. She became relaxed and any sign of her hatred was gone.
Regulus eyed Iris a moment before his smirk seemingly widened. He looked at Lucius with a smug, triumphant smile that didn't go unnoticed by the other girls in the compartment. He turned back to Iris, "I think we should go," he commented while not breaking eye contact with the seemingly paralyzed redhead in front of him.
Iris nodded her head absentmindedly, "yeah, okay." There was no bite to her words or malice drenching them like they always do. Her voice was void of any emotion and completely bland it was as if she completely forgot about who exactly she was speaking with. Lucius nodded his head in what looked like appreciation. With nothing else to say, the two Slytherin boys disappeared down the corridor in order to find a compartment and their fellow Slytherin who they had to congratulate.
The three other girls watched as Iris continued to stare into blank space and the way that the two teenagers had gone. It took her a moment to try and collect herself. As soon as she did, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Huh?"
Her eyes lost the milky color that drained the brown of out her irises. It was as if she was allowed to breathe once again and her mind was clear. Iris wasn't sure but she felt like her mind had blanked out for a short minute. She finally gained clarity as her ears stopped ringing and allowed her to hear the bombardment of questions from her friends.
"What was that, Iris!?" Marlene shouted.
"Why didn't you… scream at them?! Why did you let them just walk away?!" Wendy, completely flabbergasted, yelped while pulling the disoriented girl back down into her seat.
Iris looked from the three frustrated faces in front of her with bewildered eyes. "What do you mean?"
Lily eyed her sister in skepticism, "you didn't yell at Lucius when he called us blood-traitors!" Her mouth felt numb with the fact that she had to say it out loud. It wasn't like Iris to just allow someone to insult her and her friends like that. Especially people like Regulus Black and Lucius Malfoy.
"…He called us blood-traitors…?" Her voice swelled with confusion and doubt. "I didn't hear him say that… I must of missed it."
She brushed it off so casually! It was like Lucius had just forgotten her name instead of called her a derogatory term. All of their jaws dropped and they simultaneously yelled out, "What!"
Iris huffed and frowned, "I didn't hear him, okay… I didn't really hear much…"
"Well, what did you hear?" Lily asked.
Iris thought for a moment and couldn't come up with anything. It was like her mind was completely blank to the notion of Lucius or Regulus insulting her. They couldn't insult me. She had no idea where that thought had come from and panicked slightly at it… before it drifted from her mind and memory like a leaf on the wind.
She shrugged her shoulders indifferently as it seemed she didn't find her behavior odd… because she could not remember the interaction… "I don't know, just some sort of ringing in my ears. I guess I've conditioned myself to ignore those twats completely!" She laughed loudly. Her friends could only share a concerned look as they knew that this was weird behavior, even for Iris.
---
Elsewhere, Severus Snape fiddled with the ends of his robes as he was huddled in the corner of a compartment. He was worried. Very worried. His relationship with both Iris and Lily were on the rocks, he knew that. There was no denying that the two feisty redheads were going to be stubborn as always and ignore him. Though he thought that they had a good reason to stay away from him. And there was also one reason that they had no idea about. If Severus was to be honest, he's glad that the two of them would stay away, especially Iris. That way he could have a higher hope of Iris not getting caught up with Regulus and Lucius. He really wished that he could have ignored Lucius and Regulus and their stupid plan…
The door slid open to the compartment which startled the poor teen out of his conflicting thoughts. The boys who he feared sauntered into the compartment. He instantly noticed the air of cruel triumph surrounding the two of them. Dread started to seep into his mind as he wondered what they had done to feel satisfied with their work.
"Ah, Severus," Lucius drawled out as he slithered into his seat next to the boy, "we must congratulate you."
Regulus nodded his head with a smirk as he sat across from the two of them. His grey eyes gleamed with victory which caused a shudder to run down Severus' spine. "It seems that your potion is showing some promise, Severus."
Severus gulped, "r-really?" He tried to keep the shock and terror from his voice. He didn't think that his potion would really work. At least, he hoped that it wouldn't work. His hopes were in futile though now that he knew that Iris was showing symptoms of the potion.
Lucius nodded his head, "a stronger dose of it will do the trick I think."
As Regulus and Lucius started to go delve deep into what heir plan would be, Severus trembled in his seat. He never had any true intention of helping the two snakes in their plan… He honestly didn't want to hurt his friend. However, he thought that he didn't have much choice. When in reality, if he was strong enough, if he could advocate for himself and his friends… he wouldn't be in this situation. He really was pathetic.
Regulus gazed at the teen and was able to see the troubled expression on his pale face. "You're not having doubts are you?"
The sneer was evident and the venom that dripped from his mouth seemed like it was pooling on the carpeted floor below him. Severus shakily shook his head in fear. He didn't want them to think that he was doubting helping them now that his potion had started to work properly.
"Good," Regulus said even though he still eyed Severus with narrowed eyes that made him look even more like a snake. "What we're doing," he started off as it was obvious he was threatening him, "is going to help our Lord. It may seem cruel to you, Severus, but you need to remember," he smirked. His words grew cold and slid past his lips dripping with malice, "Iris Evans is nothing but a filthy mudblood."
---
The train glided across the tracks through the chilly English air. The ride to Hogwarts was about halfway done. Like in all of the other compartments on the train, the Marauders were talking to each other about what they had done over the break.
"It was nice of them to invite us," Peter commented on the fact that Iris and, begrudgingly, Lily allowed them to come to the party at their house. Lily most certainly wouldn't have allowed them to come! They could really only thank Iris for the fact that she invited them. It was also quite obvious that their father had not been completely happy about the idea of them going to the party either. Though their mother was quite nice and very welcoming!
The others nodded their heads. "Their dad didn't seem to like us though," James commented with a nervous laugh. He knew that Mr. Evans hadn't been very keen on allowing them into his home. They all knew that if he had his way, They would have been locked out or not even allowed to step foot in his town.
"At least we finally got to see where the girls live," said Remus.
"Muggle homes are strange!" Peter yelped in amusement as the three boys who were paying attention nodded their heads(though Remus did have an idea about what muggle homes were like due to him being half-muggle). The only boy who didn't nod his head was Sirius. If anything, he wasn't paying attention to the conversation. It seemed that as soon as the party was mentioned, Sirius tuned it out and opted to just look out the window. It was obvious that he didn't appreciate the topic of conversation.
Did he enjoy the party? Yes, very much. The kiss that he had shared with Iris was… far beyond magical. He couldn't imagine any other time where he had felt such euphoria or giddiness in his life. Though the night had been stained slightly with the fact that he saw that muggle boy, Derek, kiss his Iris. His chest had been set aflame as soon as he saw it and nearly had the mind to go after the boy and curse him or something! The rest of that night he had sulked about it. Being the moody teenager that he was, he avoided Iris the rest of that night and opted to sit next to James and try to distance himself from her.
Why did he feel such hatred for the other teenage boy? It most certainly had to do with Iris and the fact that they kissed… but Sirius shouldn't be so angry about it! He and Iris weren't in a… relationship. The fact that Iris may like that muggle more than him did bother him but it wasn't like he had a claim to make on her. Technically she was free to do what she wanted. Though that didn't mean that he had to like it.
"Awe," James' annoying coo brought Sirius from his conflicting thoughts. The black-haired boy turned to his glasses-wearing best friend with a slight scowl as he could already tell that he was going to be teased. "Is little Paddy upset about the party?"
All of the boys knew about the kiss that Sirius and Iris had and about the one Iris and Derek shared due to Sirius ranting about it himself. If he didn't want them to tease him about it, then he shouldn't have told them about it. For what are friends for if not teasing and making fun of each other about different things.
Sirius shook his head with his scowl ever present on his face. He jabbed James in the stomach with his elbow, "and if I am?" He allowed himself to smirk, "at least I got to kiss my girl while there. You, mate, will most likely never get to kiss your precious Lily."
James didn't let his words wound him in any way. He knew that it would take a while before he was even allowed to be in the same room alone with Lily. She was a stubborn witch, though that made the chase for her love even better. Just as much as Sirius got a thrill out of having Iris who could go toe to toe with him with flirting and teasing, James like the challenge of pursuing his stubborn lady love.
"But she also didn't kiss any other guys while there," Remus couldn't help but pitch in which earned him a glare from Sirius. He raised his hands in defense, "I'm just stating a fact, Padfoot."
Sirius rolled his eyes, "whatever, Moony."
"We're almost at school," Peter piped in, "we should probably get our uniforms on…"
The others nodded their heads and started to pull out their uniforms in order to get dressed. They were going to arrive at Hogwarts soon enough and they wanted to get to the feast as soon as possible. That was evident from the fact that each of the boys were starving and every once and a while their mouths watered at the thought of the piles of food that would decorate the Gryffindor table later.
---
Once the train pulled into the Hogsmeade station, the platform was flooded with hundreds of students. Most were bummed about having to come back to school while others were thrilled to be back at Hogwarts. Iris had escaped the questions of her friends and somehow found the Marauders among the train platform.
The five of them hopped into a carriage and allowed it to carry them up the hill to Hogwarts. They chatted with each other and joked around. All the while, Sirius did his best to avoid Iris. He sat as far away from her as he could and didn't look into her eyes.
Iris' eyebrows were furrowed at his strange behavior but brushed it off. Sirius could be strange sometimes, she shrugged, perhaps it was just one of those days. They followed the flow of other Hogwarts students and walked into the Great Hall. Of course, before they could make it to the Gryffindor table, a pair of narrowed eye snakes decided to stop them.
The group just about all scoffed or growled at their appearance, "good to see you all too," Lucius snapped as the two became a wall separating the group from getting to their seats.
James glared at the bleach-blonde prat, "sod off, Malfoy." He obviously already knew that the two boys wanted to cause trouble with them as usual. James and the other Marauders so hoped that they wouldn't have to deal with these two for some time. Though it looked like their luck had run out for the night.
"Oh," Regulus imitated confusion while turning to Iris, "I can see where you get your attitude, Evans!"
Iris' jaw clenched while glaring at them, "stop ruining the night, Black. Let us through."
Regulus snorted in a laugh, "you are so rude, Iris," Sirius didn't like the way that his brother said her name. "You should learn to respect your peers."
Once again, Iris' mind became foggy as she continued to stare at the slightly younger boy. Her ears rang and her body became cold as her mind suddenly stopped producing any thoughts that were her own.
The Marauders continued to glower at the pair while throwing insults at them. Though Sirius noticed how quiet Iris had become. It wasn't like Iris to stay quiet when Regulus and Lucius were around. Something wasn't right…
Regulus smirked as he saw the slacked look on Iris as she seemingly became comfortable in their presence. Oh, he was having such fun with how things were playing out. A sick satisfaction and accomplishment swirled in his gut as he witnessed Iris' attitude towards himself and Lucius change completely.
"Get out of the way," Sirius growled while grabbing Iris' forearm and trying to pull her away. Though he found that she was slightly resistant with being forcibly removed from her spot. It was almost like she didn't want to leave… Which she should be! She should be cursing the Slytherins' existences and hexing them for even breathing. She should want to try and get as far away from them as she could. However, now she seemed to be content and calm in their presence. Something was wrong… really, really wrong.
The grey-eyed and blonde Slytherins moved out of the group's way and allowed them to past. Sirus couldn't help but notice the way that Iris' eyes followed after the nuisances who were smirking widely. They allowed themselves to be swallowed into the crowd of other students and make their way towards the table.
"You okay," Sirius asked Iris once he let go of her arm.
Her pale face was still relaxed and held no sign of malice. He knew something wasn't right. For the short time that Sirius had known Iris, she was most certainly a spit-fire and not one to keep quiet. For her to not to say anything to those slimy snakes was unsettling.
Iris nodded her head absentmindedly as she gazed across the sea of students with milky eyes. Sirius snapped his fingers in front of her face and stared at her confused.
The redhead blinked a few times as she regained her senses. Her eyes became clear and focused on the boy in front of her. Her eyebrows were pulled together as she looked at him surprised. "Yes, Sirius?"
He stared at her for a moment in contemplation. He tried to wrap his head around her strange behavior, "are you okay?"
His words were slow and clear which caused Iris to stare at him with furrowed eyebrows. Questions ran through her head as to why he seemed to be so… concerned? Was he really concerned for her? If so, what for? She honestly wasn't sure.
She smirked at him, "of course I'm okay, Darling."
Sirius eyed her critically. She seemed fine… She wasn't staring off into space like she was before as she lost that blank look on her pale face. However, Sirius could see in her brown eyes that there was something… unusual swimming in them as she stared at him.
Iris rolled her eyes, "stop looking at me like that, Sirius." She leaned forward and grabbed his tie in order to pull him closer to her. In an instant, the two teens faces were inches from each other. Their minds had instantly been reminded of only a few nights before when they were in nearly the same position.
Sirius' cheeks started to burn slightly with a soft pink that gave Iris a strong feeling of satisfaction. Though she had to admit that she was also slightly flustered at their close proximity as she remembered that night. She remembered how their breath had mingled together as they embraced each other due to the cold. She remembered the She in no way wanted to admit it out loud, but she most certainly wanted to have the giddy feeling envelope her again. Though she pushed those feelings away and tried to ward away the blush creeping up her neck.
"I'm completely fine," Iris lets go of his tie, albeit reluctantly and tried to keep her composure by not letting her smirk slide off of her face. She spun on her heels and started to sashay away to find a seat next to her sister. Sirius watched her go with wide eyes as he once again became flustered to the fact that she could so easily rile him up. Though the constant thoughts about her strange behavior were still ever present in the back of his mind.
---
After the stomachs of all the student body were filled to the brim with succulent foods and sweet drinks, everyone started to head to their dorms to sleep. Iris had left dinner slightly earlier than she usually would have. Which once again was strange. Sirius was starting to become increasingly worried about her.
Not only him, but the girls were surprised by the fact that Iris Evans had wanted to leave the feast early. Iris most certainly couldn't be in her right mind if she would willingly deprive herself of eating anything else. When they questioned her, she had complained of a headache and really wanted to go up to the dorm and sleep. They didn't argue with her and allowed her to go. It was obviously something serious for her to leave so they wanted to make sure she did what she could do to feel better.
Even though they didn't question her further about it, they went to the Marauders. Which is where they were at the moment. It was strange to see Lily willing going to see the group of boys due to the fact that it was known all over the school that she detested James Potter's existence. However, considering she wanted to find out about the well-being of her sister, she would suffer being in the teenagers' presence.
"She's been acting strange," Lily said once she was finished explaining what had happened on the train.
Remus nodded his head in thought, "she was quite quiet when Regulus and Lucius walked over to us."
Marlene pointed at him, "see that isn't normal!"
"It was like she… lost herself for a few moments before going back to normal." Wendy commented as the group walked along the the corridors towards the Gryffindor tower. She bit the inside of her cheek, "it was unsettling."
James sighed, "so what do you think's happening then?"
The girls all glance at each other unsure. "No idea," Lily said, disheartened as her worry was obvious.
Sirius shook his head in thought. He didn't like the behavior that Iris was exhibiting and he most certainly didn't like the satisfaction his brother got out of it. He had a sickening feeling that Regulus had something to do with Iris' weird behavior.
Speak of the Devil and he shall appear, Sirius bitterly thought as his younger brother came walking down the corridor. His eyes glared at the smug boy who was walking towards the stairs. He shook his head and growled lightly which caught Peter's attention.
The pudgy boy tilted his head at his friend, "is something wrong, Padfoot?"
Sirius briefly nodded his head, "I'll be back."
With that, the group watched as Sirius matched towards the stairs that would lead to the dungeons. They all glanced at each other worriedly as they watched the obviously angry teen walk away. They didn't know if they wanted to intervene with him and his brother. They figured that Sirius could handle him. At least, he could handle the young snake better than the rest of them probably could.
Regulus paused in his step as an obviously enraged Sirius stomped over towards him. His ever-present infuriating, smug smirk was on his face. Nearly identical grey eyes focused on each other. One pair was calm and reflecting a suffocating amount of arrogance while the other was burning with nothing short of rage.
"Brother dearest," Regulus greeted him. His sickly silky voice slithered from his teeth like a snake that was ready to strike Sirius. "To what do I owe the pleasure."
Sirius' jaw clenched, "what's wrong with Iris?"
Regulus stared at him wide-eyed as he displayed faux confusion on his face. "What do you mean?" He tried to keep the sly smirk from crawling on his lips, "something's wrong with Iris?" Sirius only continued to glare at his brother. "I saw her leave dinner early, is she sick?"
The older out of the two scoffed, "you did something to her, didn't you?" Regulus stayed silent. However, Sirius was able to see a certain glint of triumph in his eyes that worried him immensely. Sirius pointed at his brother to try and intimidate him, "I know you did something to her. When I find out what it is and if you've hurt her…" He trailed off slightly as he couldn't put into words the amount of pain that he would put Regulus(and any of the other snakes who helped him harm Iris in any way) through.
Regulus only continued to stare at him indifferently with a raised eyebrow. "Is that all, Sirius?" The way he said his name made it sound as though he had just uttered something that left a bad taste in his mouth. Sirius only glared at him harsher as he conveyed his threat silently. Regulus' smirk did not falter, "we best head to our dorms, classes start tomorrow."
The younger boy then pushed Sirius out of the way and started his journey down to the Slytherin common room. All the while, Sirius watched him go with a scowl. At that moment he swore to himself. He swore that he would make sure no one(not even his slimy brother) would ever hurt Iris. Ever. Sirius would much rather die than she his beloved redhead hurt.
---
"So, Snape," Regulus' voice drawled as he glared menacingly at the other teen. "How long will it take you to get another potin to Evans?"
The greasy-haired boy gulped in fear and shook slightly. His hands played with the ends of his robe sleeves as he was cornered in the gloomy Slytherin common room. The haunting glow of the fireplace only a few feet from the trio of boys barely did anything to lighten the room. It didn't even stop the chill that slithered up Servus spine as the stares of the other two Slytherins were pinned on his pathetic form.
He swallowed thickly, "i-it'll take me some time to brew it a-again."
Lucius scowled down at him as if he was a bug that he was going to step on. "How soon, Snape?"
"S-soon!" Severus yelped as he backed himself into the corner slightly to try and get away from his tormentors. "By the end of the month!"
The two others glanced at each other quickly before smirking in satisfaction. Regulus clapped his hand onto Severus' shaky shoulder as his smirk grew wider, "end of the month, Snap. And this time, make the dose stronger," he breathed out a laugh, "soon enough we'll have the little mudblood working for us."
He couldn't wait to see that happen. He most certainly couldn't wait to see their work finally done with. Regulus was looking forward to finally gaining the prize that they had been soughting for for most of the year. His brother wasn't happy about it… However, Regulus couldn't wait to see his devastated reaction when Iris was finally theirs to play with. There was no way that Sirius or any of those other blood-traitors could stop them.

Five Men Who Broke Lily's Heart And One Who Healed It
For training prompt Tuesday, @petalstosarah, I told you I would make it angsty. You can read it below the cut or on Ao3!
1. Michael Evans, 1971
Lily could remember the day her father left like the back of her hand.
It had been sometime in quiet days after Christmas, but before New Year’s. He had stood in the doorway, his suitcase packed, his jacket on, his life with them erased from the walls of their home. She would see him again, just a small handful of times, but it would never be the same. He would never be her father, not like how he had once been before.
Lily would cry for hours and hours and hours after. Christmas would never be the same after that. She would find ways to stay away from home, from her mother and sister during the most festive time of year.
Michael Evans would never return to them. He would never pick Lily up and spin her around in his arms again, he would never kiss Iris again, he would never wink at Petunia and smile as they shared their own private joke again. The thing was, he would never be in their life again, not as he used to be, as he wanted to be, no, the separation would never go away.
He wasn’t breaking just his eleven year old daughter’s heart, he was breaking up a family. He was showing his daughter’s that faithfulness wasn’t a thing. He was showing them that men couldn’t be trusted.
How could they? He wasn’t faithful to their mother, he wasn’t kind to her, he broke the trust they had once created.
He broke the trust his daughters had in him.
Michael Evans was the first man to ever break Lily’s heart, and she would remember that. She would remember him and that cold, cold morning when he left. Lily and Petunia sitting side-by-side at the top of the stairs, their mother, Iris standing at the bottom, trying to protect them even then.
Michael Evans would die a few years later, when Petunia had left the house and Lily was away at school. Iris would get the last laugh, but even then it wouldn’t be kind, it wouldn’t be nice.
Either way, the damage was done.
2. Remus Lupin, 1973
The next one would be Remus Lupin.
He wasn’t a man yet, just a kind sweet boy who was thirteen. He studied with her in the library, they passed notes in Arithmancy as none of their friends were with them. They spent hours and days together, just the pair of them, just having fun and discovering a new friendship.
Until it became too real.
Lily would forever keep the photo of her and Remus, taken a warm and sunny day, the pair of them studying in the library, only looking up at the sound of the shutter clicking. The camera was a gift from her father, old and worn down, but still able to make something beautiful.
She would always have a copy, it would be framed, it would move from home to home with Lily. A document of a friendship that she loved, that she cared about, that ended one horrible day over a discovery made public.
She wasn’t afraid of Remus, no one could be afraid of a boy that tucked in his sweaters, and owned more cardigans than shirts, and who sing ever Beatles song as long as he heard the first few notes. No one could be afraid of a boy whose smiles had to earned and his laughter fought with well timed jokes. No one could be afraid of a boy who slept like the dead and studied as if his life was in danger.
No one was afraid of Remus Lupin, but he wasn’t just Remus Lupin.
It wasn’t the admittance of the truth, it was the lie to cover it up. Lily hated being lied to, it made her feel like she was eleven and crying into her sister’s shoulder as their father left to never return again. Broken trust, from a broken man.
It would take almost a full year for Lily to let her guard down again around him, a year of apologizes and passed notes and studying in the library together. It would take a year of whispered conversations and explanations for everything to go back to how it was.
It would take time for the trust to reform.
3. Sirius Black, 1976
When people hear the name Sirius Black, they think trouble.
They don’t think of a broken boy, of a child thrown out of a broken home. They don’t think of tattoos and motorbikes and leather jackets. The first word is trouble, the second is Marauder, the third is brother.
For Lily, it’s unfaithful.
Lily had known him for five years at this point, she had classes with him, she had been partnered with him more times that she could count, she had held his hand after he received Howler after Howler. She didn’t know what it meant to be a Black, but she did know what it meant to not feel at home in your own childhood home.
She knew what it felt like to not belong.
And with that they bonded, they drank tea and told stories about their siblings and cousins and parents, they shared their life. They were friends because none of their other friends got it, they were friends because they needed someone else to understand.
The pact had been simple. They would write during the summers, swap war stories twice a week of their craziness. They would share what they knew, what they could tell, what the other could understand.
But after a week in, Lily got radio silence.
Another week passed, then another, then another, unanswered and unopened letters littered her desk. Worries went unchecked.
Her worries grew, they went into overdrive, she cried herself to sleep. This boy that she loved, that she cared about, that knew her and the life she lived, was forced into during the summer and holiday visits had abandoned her.
This boy who knew everything, who understood everything…he broke her heart in the most selfish way.
Sirius Black would come back, he would squeeze her hand when Howlers came to him at Hogwarts, he would cry on her shoulder when his brother would die years later, he would walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. But he would also take something from her that summer, that long and hot and cruel summer without the lifeline of someone who understood a bitchy sibling and parents who didn’t know how to love a child different than them.
It would take months for Lily to love him again, but she would fall for his heart break all over again. It would never be his charms and jokes and infectious laughter that earned her heart, it would be his familiar tragedy and the way he helped save her.
4. James Potter, 1977
The first time Lily ever kissed James Potter, it was because he broke her heart.
Years and years and years of mixed feelings, of fights and arguments that never seemed to blow over, of day dreams and pining looks and lingers touches. It had been stupid, all of it had been stupid.
Love was stupid.
It was overrated, irrational, and life ending. And yet she fell.
She fell because despite all of the fights, all of the day dreams, all of his smiles and rushed words and his stupid, stupid ticks, she had always loved him. He had the rights to her heart when they met at eleven on the Hogwarts Express. She, going away from everything she knew at top speed, and he, surging forward towards everything he wanted.
She had always been a sucker for kind eyes and a nice smile. She just didn’t realize it until it was much too late.
Until her heart ached whenever he was near, until her head grew dizzy when their arms brushed, until she looked at him and saw everything she could ever want. This was a boy, no man, that you did fall in love with at first sight. That you let kiss you in the rain on a cold November night. That you cried over in bed because you couldn’t sleep at night.
James Potter was a man that love touched and didn’t let go.
It took Lily much longer to realize that she should’ve.
He broke her heart with a kind smile, his hazel eyes bright with laughter, his hair a frizzy halo around his head. He was tall and tan and so beautiful that it hurt to look at him, it hurt to try and smile and pretend that her heart didn’t want him.
James Potter was a man that didn’t deserve rejection.
It would take another month for her to pluck up the courage to tell him. To whisper her love for him on the last warm day of the year. It would take her time for her heart to mend itself, for her brain to forgive the pain in not allowing herself to love him. It would take Lily the rest of her short life to forgive him.
It would only take a moment to kiss him though. She would remember the fire in her veins, the aching in her chest, the fuzziness in her head. She would remember the warmth of his hands, the soft feel of his lips, the small moan that he made when she touched his throat.
She would remember the feeling of her heart knitting itself back together, slowly and carefully, but enough to feel whole again.
5. Peter Pettigrew, 1980
It would be much too late when Lily realized that Peter Pettigrew was the reason for her biggest heartbreak.
It would be long after her son was born, with soft spikey black hair and tan skin and her green eyes. He would be talking and walking and laughing when Lily realized that the tiny little man with sad blue eyes and anger in his heart betrayed her.
Betrayed James, betrayed Harry.
He would cause her death, so young, so prematurely, so unnecessary.
He had made her son be marked as an equal, a baby boy with a toothy grin and bright eyes, a baby boy who smiled and found laughter in everything. A baby boy who called him wo-my and giggled when Peter threw him in the air and always fell asleep in his arms.
Peter had broken her heart when she heard the door blast open, when she heard James fall to the floor, when a man who hated her because of her birth killed her.
But she felt the sadness much earlier. Looking at Peter hurt, not in the way it once had with James, no, it hurt because he was growing smaller, thinner, paler. He was no longer happy, he shied away at smiles and laughter, he grew unfamiliar.
He broke her heart long before the mark appeared on his arm, his greatest shame.
He broke her heart, and somehow, it was like he knew before it all came to an end.
1. Harry Potter, 1981
“Mama loves you.”
Lily stared at her son, his chubby cheeks and dark hair, his tan skin and toothy smile, she stared at her own eyes and tried to find the strength to say something else. Her baby boy was going to die and it was her fault.
“Mama loves you Harry,” she whispered, hoping and wishing that he would know that she never wanted this for him. Her baby boy, her only child, she would never have another, she would never live pass this next moment.
Harry would never know her, never know James, he would never know the love she had for him.
One more man to break her heart.
Go ahead, break my heart. You can break it a thousand times if you so desire. It’s been yours break since the day we met.
She had once stood in front of James and told him that he could end her, break her heart over and over and over again. But even then the words hadn’t been meant for him, they were for Harry, they were for their son.
“Mama has had her heart broken so many times, Harry,” whispered Lily, desperate to get the words out, to let her baby boy know how much she loved him. “But you are the one that I’ll never be angry about, you are the one that I loved most.”
She wished that she could kiss James one last time; that she could hug Remus and tell him how much he meant to her; that she could cry into Sirius’ shoulder and hold his hand; that she could say goodbye to her father once again; that she could be the one to murder Peter.
She wished that her son could grow up loved and safe and protected.
She wished that she could hold him and never let him go, never put him down again.
She wished that the green light wasn’t the same shade as her eyes.
“Mama loves you Harry, forever and ever Heartbreaker.”

Worst Flash Storylines and Plot Ideas of All Time
As you’ve probably ascertained from the general contents of this blog, the Flash is my favorite comic book series. I love the characters and most of the stories. However, just like any series that’s been around for eighty years (counting the Jay Garrick stuff), the Flash does, unfortunately, have some truly terrible stories and plot ideas. 
In terms of terrible plot ideas that didn’t completely ruin the surrounding stories: 
1. Barry Allen uses the Mirror Master’s mirrors to manipulate Iris into agreeing to start dating him again (Flash #109). Creepy, Barry. Just creepy. The story is great Silver Age fun otherwise. 
2. Iris West: meanest woman alive. Iris was, by and large, incredibly awful to Barry up until maybe about a year before their 1966 marriage. Almost every time she shows up in an early Silver Age issue, you will admire her daring and independence (this is good) and be bewildered as to why on Earth Barry would want to spend time with a woman who is constantly calling him slow, lazy, and ambition-less (this is not good). It doesn’t really affect any one issue too much, but when read in a conglomerate, she starts looking really awful. Although as bad as Early Silver Age Iris seems as a romantic interest, she’s got nothing on Silver Age Superman and Lois Lane, the most dysfunctional couple in the DCU. 
3. Wally West’s zero-effort code name and costume (Flash #110). It really could not be more obvious how little effort the writers were putting into creating this character. The duplicate origin is also pretty cheesy, but there are enough differences from Barry’s origin for it not to frustrate me. But the name “Kid Flash” and the fact that his first costume was literally identical to Barry’s just feel incredibly lazy. Barry and Wally do have an adorable dynamic in the issue, though, so it’s by no means all bad. 
4. Barry Allen waiting an entire year after his marriage to tell his wife that he’s really the Flash. Frustrating and unnecessary; especially since Joan Garrick had been in on her husband’s secret since the 1940s. 
5. Iris Allen is FROM THE FUTURE. I both love and hate this idea. It’s so perfectly comic-booky, but at the same time, it opened the floodgates for the Allen family being a confusing, time-displaced mess. 
6. The Trial of Barry Allen. This one’s weird. I like many of the individual issues in this arc, and I actually think the last two issues are really great as an ending for Barry Allen’s original run, but this storyline dragged on for waaaaaay too long. There’s a reason I call it the Arc that Never Ends. Also, the titular trial is actually the least interesting part of the entire storyline. His battles with the Rogues and Kadabra are far more interesting. 
7. Wally West’s borderline creepy, chauvinistic attitude towards women under Mike Baron (and, to a much lesser extent, William Messner-Loebs). There’s being a hormonal twenty-something, and then there’s going through girlfriends at the rate other people change their socks. Messner-Loebs mostly avoided this issue by making it clear that Wally was under intense psychological stress that was negatively impacting his behavior, but under Baron and in some of his JLE appearances, he comes across as a real creep around women. 
8. Kadabra overkill under Mark Waid: I like Kadabra, but when he’s the main villain in like four distinct arcs, it gets to be a bit much. It’s like modern Eobard. He is legitimately written well, though, so he doesn’t drag down any of the stories too much. 
9. Pointlessly Dead Rogues: Killing off the Rogues in Underworld Unleashed for no good reason (the rest of the story is great, especially the Trickster). 
10. Pointlessly Dead Rogues 2: Electric Boogaloo: The Golden Glider’s pointless death to build up a character who was himself killed two issues later. (The rest of the story is decent.) Also, the treatment of Lisa in general post-Crisis is frustrating, since she becomes considerably more unhinged than she was before. 
11. Any time Waid tried to write McCulloch, with the exception of Flash vol. 2 #105 (and even there, he seemed off). It’s like he forgot Evan wasn’t Sam. 
12. Apparently, the Top trying to blow up both Central City and half the world makes him a loser? Also, he suddenly hates Piper for no readily apparent reason. (At least the story had some good Piper and Wally bits.) 
13. BARRY ALLEN HAS A SECRET EVIL TWIN! DUN DUN DUN! (The rest of the story, where we get to meet a whole whack of interesting future Flashes, is actually pretty good, but whoo boy, the Malcolm reveal feels like it came straight out of a soap opera.) 
14. In order for Captain Cold to ANGST, the Golden Glider’s pointless death remained in place for over ten years. It did give us a really, really good Capt. Cold story, at least...but it’s still fridging. 
15. Rainbow Raider’s mean-spirited murder by Blacksmith. Poor Roy. 
16. Albert Desmond becomes Hannibal Lecter, only twenty times as rude, for a Gotham Central arc that would’ve been terrific without him as the main villain. 
17. Owen Mercer is an idiotic child murderer and gets killed by the Rogues. Why was this necessary? (The rest of Blackest Night: The Flash is pretty good.) 
18. Josh Jackam-Mardon’s murder. The murder of small children for shock value is pretty gross. Especially since nothing was ever really done with it. 
19. Barry’s PARENTS ARE DEEEEAAAAD! (Okay, it’s really just his mom, but still. This is a very frustrating retcon, since originally his parents were alive and well until after his own death.) 
20. Albert Desmond was Barry’s jerk coworker; which never impacted the plot or led to anything. As a result, it’s just another frustrating retcon. 
21. Sam Scudder murdered someone before becoming the Mirror Master. Yet another Johns retcon that never went anywhere and only serves to darken the Silver and Bronze Age stories after the fact. 
22. Flashpoint (a decent story) wiped out a whole bunch of characters I really liked from existence for several years. Evan McCulloch’s still not back. 
23. Giving the Rogues metahuman powers doesn’t suit them, on the whole. They work better without them. 
24. Roy’s second pointless, brutal death in (I think) Forever Evil. 
25. IT WAS MEEEEE, BARRY! After serving as the main villain for like six arcs in eight years, I’m glad that Eobard finally seems to be getting a rest. The level of bad things he was responsible for was getting ridiculous. 
26. Sam/Lisa. WHY? (The only time it even kind of worked was in Forever Evil.) 
In terms of entire storylines I didn’t like: 
1. The Flash: The Most Terribly Written Man Alive. Poor Bart is aged up with no adequate explanation, loses all the traits that made him a likeable character, fights some awful villains, and then is murdered by the badly OOC Rogues. Meanwhile, Inertia goes from an at least somewhat sympathetic villain to a complete psychopath with little explanation, a murder is retconned into one of Captain Cold’s reformed periods, the Pied Piper and the Trickster completely forget that they’re supposed to be reformed, Abra Kadabra inexplicably teams up with the Rogues despite generally being a solo operative, and all of the Rogues act like total morons, willingly following a teenage speedster for no adequately explained reason. UGH. 
2. Countdown to Infinite Crisis: Even though Piper and Trickster were probably the best part of Countdown, that isn’t saying much. Both of them are uncharacteristically stupid (especially James), and James is a grade-A jerk to Piper for no reason. Also, both of them continue to forget that they reformed, and then James gets brutally murdered and Piper almost loses his mind. Also, the other Rogues cameo, and continue to act like idiots. Countdown: it really does ruin everything it touches. 
Superboy Prime will kill you! He’ll kill you to DEATH! And after you read Countdown, you’ll wish he had killed you to death. 
3. The Identity Crisis Tie-In Retcon: So, you know all that awesome character development the Rogues have had over the years? Well, forget all that, because it was all just Roscoe brainwashing them! Which was something he could definitely do before this story! And why did he do this? Why, because Barry Allen, one of the most upstanding men in the DCU, brainwashed him! Also, apparently, the Top had a huge bodycount that we never heard about back in the Bronze Age, because we need even MORE grimdark retcons for our cheerful Silver/Bronze Age history! I like Geoff Johns’ work, I really do....but BOY HOWDY does he need to lay off on the retcons sometimes. 
4. Identity Crisis: With the exception of Owen’s introduction and the establishment of the relationship between him and Digger, this story was pretty awful all around. More specifically, as far as the Flash was concerned, it was responsible for Digger’s second pointless death. It also killed off poor Jack Drake and poor, mistreated Sue Dibney, who deserved MUCH better. And the Justice League, including Barry, are A-OK with brainwashing, apparently. Comics are fun! 
These last two stories are pretty recent, and they did have some parts I liked, but on the whole I felt they also belonged on the list. 
5. The Trickster finally returns! Hurrah! Except it turns out that he’s way more like the Joker now than he ever was before, and he mind-controls the city in a super-creepy way. A very disappointing return for the character, especially since it was set up really well. 
6. Forever Evil: Captain Cold becomes a murderous dictator with a stupid Santa Beard, all of the Rogues get horrible costumes, and Sam completes his mutation into Evan-in-all-but-name. There are some good characters bits in the story (even for Cold), but on the whole, I found the story to just be unlikeable and depressing and thought Cold was pretty out-of-character. Poor Commander Cold....
So, what are your least favorite Flash storylines and plot ideas?

Harry/Draco Big Bang Fic & Art: Soundless Love (Teen)
Title: Soundless Love Author: @alindakb Artist(s): @luckynemesis & @mad1492 Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, background Lily/James, Sirius/Remus, & Ron/Hermione Other Key Characters: Harry, Draco, Neville, Ron, Hermione, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, James Potter, Lily Potter, Ginny, Harry’s little sister Iris. Rating: Teen Word Count: ~67,500 Era: Hogwarts 3rd year Content/Warnings: Deaf character, first love, first kiss, gay Harry Potter, Alternative universe – Hogwarts, Hogwarts Third Year, Boy-Who-Lived Neville Longbottom, James Potter & Lily Evans Potter live, Harry Potter has a sibling, coming out, unrequited love, heartbreak, sign language, dementors, Quidditch accident, search for Pettigrew, bullying, meddling, homophobia, internalized homophobia, nightmares, crying, pining, hand holding, child neglect, Harry Potter is not the Boy-Who-Lived, Harry is popular and likes it, Hogwarts Era, POV Harry Potter, Romance, sexual implications/thoughts, 13-year-old Harry Potter, 13-year-old Draco Malfoy Summary: Harry is on his way to Hogwarts together with his friends Ron and Hermione and his adoptive brother Neville for their 3rd year, when they run into crazy Malfoy. Malfoy physically attacks Harry for no apparent reason. In this moment Harry realises that he’s been wrong about Malfoy. He’s not a spoiled brat, who thinks he’s better than everyone, and therefore never speaks. Malfoy is probably deaf, just like Harry’s Uncle Sirius. From this moment, Harry makes it his personal mission to help out Malfoy. Now he just has to convince Malfoy to accept his help.
And then there is the break out of Pettigrew. Harry and Neville can’t have that rat run around free. He’s the reason Neville’s parents are dead and why Sirius lost his hearing. They plan to find him and stop him once and for all. Even though they promise James time and time again that they will leave it up to the Aurors. Author's Notes: The idea for this story came to me about four years ago during a holiday to Namibia and has been stirring around my mind ever since. Making it my project for the H/D Big Bang has forced me to finally put it all down on paper, and I’m glad I did. At first, I wanted to write it both from Harry’s and Draco’s point of view, but while working out the plotline, I didn’t feel I could do Draco justice if I would write from his POV. Draco is deaf in this story, and that took some extra research and diving into a community I don’t know all that much about. I want to thank all the people who helped me polish this story in this regard. I couldn’t have done it without them. I hope that people will enjoy this story and that I don’t offend any people in the deaf community when I’ve gotten things wrong. Please leave a comment or find me on Tumblr if you have issues with how I portray Draco in this story. I’m always open to discuss my choices and learn more.
To add to this, I know that BSL is not the same as spoken English, especially when it comes to grammar. But for readability, all conversations taking place in BSL are written out as you would have it in spoken English.
Then it rests on me to thank my Beta readers, who helped me make sure the story makes sense. I also want to thank @luckynemesis and @mad1492 for their amazing artwork for this story. And finally, I want to thank the mods of the H/D Big Bang for all their hard work to make this fest happen. Artist's Notes: 
mad1492: I really enjoyed drawing for this fic. The train scene marks the beginning of Harry and Draco's story and I really enjoyed illustrating it. Hope you enjoyed the reading as much as I enjoyed illustrating it!
StarLeighNight: What a treasure it was to illustrate for Soundless Love! Bringing the snow fight to life was enjoyable from ideation to creation, and I feel so fortunate to have been a part of such a wonderful project. I want to thank Alinda for trusting me to depict this scene; I can’t wait to read Soundless in its full entirety and fall in love with the characters all over again. ♡

imagine handing your infant child to any of Evan’s characters and going ‘here you left this in my vagina’ lol Kit would be like ‘can I leave another one in there’
hahahahaha i love this so much, thank you for making me properly cry laugh over here! i’ve taken this from the perspective of a newborn child rather than handing over a ten year old, i hope that’s okay!
Your blossoming relationship with Tate Langdon, slipped into turbo mode by your unexpected pregnancy, is packed full of quickfire jibes just like this. “That food baby of yours is getting out of hand,” he quips as you stuff pizza into your face like your life depends on it. “Why didn’t I knock you up sooner? You’re so much hornier when you’re pregnant,” he mutters as he peppers butterfly kisses over your bump in the middle of a spontaneous 3am session between the sheets. “Here, let me help you with that, preggo,” he chuckles to himself as you strain to get up from the couch, however his only form of assistance is grabbing your baby bump and pretending to haul you up. You’ve planned this one bite back for the entire 9 months and Tate’s jaw drops as the words dance off your tongue. “Becoming a mother’s turned you into a smartass now?” He jokingly scoffs through a cheeky pout. “That’s it, no more babies for you!”
Just as you said, Kit’s first thought is knocking you up all over again. “You mind if I leave another one in there?” His determined smile proves your Walker boy definitely isn’t joking, and the glimmer of a dozen children running around your sprawling country lot sparkles in his eye. “I’m serious!” He asserts as you let out a giggle. “I’m getting you pregnant again as soon as I can,” he curls his lips into a confident smile, pulling you and your newborn into a protective embrace. “My entire world is right here, in my arms. I’ll always look after my girls,” he coos as he smooths your baby’s little brown curls. “Can we have a boy next time though? I need someone to teach baseball.”
Jimmy doesn’t hear a damn word coming out your mouth; your Darling boy is far too lost in the sight of you holding his daughter, your child together, his legacy about to land in his waiting (if slightly shaky) arms. He’s been such a nervous expectant father these last nine months, he’s almost looking down at your tiny bundle of joy like he could break her if Jimmy looked at her the wrong way. “We made her? This beautiful angel, we really made her?” As naive as that inquisitive little question sounds, he’s looking for reassurance that if you’ve both made it this far together, you can make it through anything. In fact, he’s more concerned about his future confrontations with your daughter’s prospective boyfriends… and exactly how many of them he needs to scare away with his claws and fellow freaks.
James, being the customary 1920’s man, would refuse to be in the room when you give birth, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t flinching and squirming out in the corridor whenever he hears each cry of pain. His involuntary wriggles in his seat stall as soon as he hears the distinct cries of a baby, your baby. “Oh to hell with tradition,” he barks to himself, casting his cane aside and storming into the hotel room where Iris and the Countess hand you a little swaddling bundle, somehow smiling from ear to ear. Your words barely leave your mouth before James’ pencil moustache tweaks into a wry grin — “Then you have gifted me the greatest joy, my dear,” he coos softly, gazing at the child in his arms. “And I shall happily spend the rest of eternity creating more just like him.”
It’s been a long time since you’ve seen Kai’s intoxicating smile curl across his lips, cinching his chin, blushing his cheeks. He’s had a hard time running for councillor, so much that your pregnancy has flown by in the blink of an eye. The rushed apologies down the phone as he tells you he can’t make your first scan while he’s stuck in a council meeting, the hanging of his head when he comes home to find you cooking a meal for both of you, the throb in his throat when he wonders why he hasn’t heard from you for an hour while you nap your exhaustion away — it all stings and eats away at his soul. As he bundles into the delivery room spitting frantic apologetics, his weary eyes find you holding your baby out toward him, quippy remark in tow. That enchanting smile comes rushing back to his lips. “Well put it back in there, I need an action replay!”

Okay, but imagine all the plot that could have come out of Barry being forced into the role of the Reverse Flash... (and other, semi-related, ideas)
Barry realizing he can use the Negative Speed Force to avoid being erased long enough to reset the timeline but struggling with the increased temper and volatility that comes with it
Barry's suit came with him from his own timeline and doesn't turn into the Reverse Flash suit without him noticing - putting on the Reverse Flash suit becomes a choice he's forced into making himself in order to manipulate Damien into helping
Barry saves the life of someone on Team Flash (or several someones) at potentially great cost to himself, shaking their certainty that the Flash - that Eobard - is the real hero after all
Eobard can't really live up to what it means to be the Flash and his own poor decision making begins to tear the team up from the inside out while Barry struggles to fix the timeline
Iris feeling that speed force spark between herself and Barry, something she's never experienced with Eobard, and that being what really shakes her about everything Allen tells her
Barry telling Damian about his own children. His own darling, brave Nora and his bright, courageous Bart. Sure, it's implied - I guess - that Damian sees all that through the use of the Time Stone, but nothing is more powerful than actually being shown the characters bonding over the shared loss of their children that Eobard's caused.
What form does the Speed Force takes in this bad future timeline? She took the form of Nora at first because she wanted to set Barry at ease and help him accept himself as the Flash. But later it came to represent the motherly feelings she felt for him. With Eobard as the Flash - as the Speed Force's favored child - who does she appear as?
How did Eobard create and harness the Negative Still Force? Since the Negative Speed Force was an artificially created Speed Force, the Negative Still Force must've been artificially created too. (Which begs the question of how Deon knew what it was on sight, but whatever...) Would Barry undoing the timeline changes actually dismantle the source of the Negative Still Force too or is it still lurking out there, waiting to be exploited again... just like the Negative Speed Force.
What were the side effects of the Negative Still Force? Artificial Speed Forces have been shown to have bad side effects: the Negative Speed Force causing Eobard and Nora 1.0 to have volatile tempers and the unnamed ASF causing Barry's emotions to shut down, interfering with his normal thought processes and impairing his ability to recognize blind spots in his logic reasoning. It follows that there must have been some kind of side effect of the Negative Still Force as well.
Was Eobard expecting some version of Barry to show up for a final showdown? Was he waiting for the rewritten version he created just for him to destroy? Or was he hoping for a version of the real Barry, who knew the truth of the enmity between them and who would be far more satisfying to watch die?
Was Eddie alive somewhere in that bad future?
Depending on how Eobard's time re-writing process worked... how many times did Eobard have to rewrite reality before Iris finally fell for his charming façade? Did he destroy her relationship with Barry only to find her back with Eddie? And then he sledge hammers that only to find her with Scott Evans, perhaps? How many healthy, happy relationships did Eobard have to rip Iris out of before he finally got what he wanted?
Why was Cisco dead? Did he keep his powers in this timeline and Eobard had to have him killed or else risk the truth coming out? Or was it petty revenge for Cisco - who showed him what it was like to have a son - choosing Barry over Eobard?

Love Lockdown - Part 2
Big Girl With a Brave Face
Pairing: Chris Evans x Reader
Summary: You brace yourself for your FaceTime with Chris.
Warnings: Angst, Pandemic backdrop, Profanity
Notes: More heart strumming feels! Read the previous part! Gonna try and put these up on Monday’s starting next week 8/10, along with In My Feelings Monday™, when my asks will be open for all your romantic musings! Let’s get sweet and sappy y’all! I know you wanna 🥰 
The sun shines down, a crisp wind whisking by you every so often; applause for your hard work in the garden. You found a circadian rhythm. Grasp, pull, dump. Grasp, pull, dump. It afforded you an opportunity to get lost in thought… and memory. 
You just don’t get it, do you?
Baby, I want to!
Why didn’t you say anything?
Would it have mattered?
I think we can both agree we need the space…
We need to talk…
I love you.
I love you too.
“Are you okay Aunty?” Iris’ innocent voice drifts into your trance but doesn’t break it completely.
You absentmindedly respond. “Uh huh. Why do you ask?”
“Probably ‘cos you're pulling at those weeds so ferociously I think you might’ve got a few good plants,” Ines answers for her younger sister, the teenage ‘tude snapping you to reality.
You assess your handiwork and sure enough, in your pile of weeds, some good plants lie there with them, undeservedly plucked from the earth. “Oh, my bad,” you sheepishly apologize.
“It’s okay. The only difference between a weed and a flower is judgment. Here,” Ines shuffles over to your spot. 
“Ines, you’re wise beyond your years, you know that?” You stand up, placing your palms on your lower back, arching and stretching in a moment of respite. Looking over your nieces tending to the greenery you botched, their youthful vigor bring a genuine smile to your face. Those have been few and far in between these days. 
“I know, right? Could you tell my mom for me?” she kids, making you laugh. “It couldn’t have been that long since it was you and Mama doing this,” Ines smirks at you briefly before refocusing on rerooting.
You chuckle, “Ha! Feels like a lifetime ago. But, yeah, it really hasn’t been that long. Guess I just kinda lost touch.”
“Do you miss it? Do you miss being here?” Iris asks. 
“Umm… honestly?” The both of them look up at you, eyes wide and expectant. “I thought I didn’t. L.A. can be blinding in that way. But now that I’m here, I feel a little more… myself. Not to mention that I’ve missed you girls soo much! C’mere!”
A niece under each arm, hugging your middle tightly, you can feel how much they’ve missed you as well. You want to be a better aunt to them. Your love for your family is as expansive as the family farm you marvel at in front of you. Acres of green going beyond the quaint garden near the house, with the barn just behind the rustic office and rec building where the farmers are currently gathered for lunch just a few feet away. But your feelings were much like half your sister’s employees as of late; they didn’t show, especially in crisis.
Through one of the windows, you catch sight of a familiar profile; hand to his temple pressing deep into his smooth, mahogany skin, thick, dark brows knitted together in concentration, plump lips puckered as he writes furiously, occasionally taking a bite of his sandwich. He must feel your eyes because he looks up to meet them, breaking focus from his working lunch. The hand that was to his temple is now raised for a tentative wave, just as the corner of his mouth is raised for a beautiful, sweet smile. 
Your shoulders tense, your wave is curt, and your smile is barely there. You avert your eyes not wanting to see the effect of your abrupt actions. 
“I know Keith is glad you’re back, too.” You look down to see Iris looking up at you, her 10 year old face contorted into her best suggestive look. 
Ines rolls her eyes at her sister’s antics, “Oh, stop it! She’s already got the most perfect, dreamy boyfriend, remember?”
“Well, I’ve never met him. Have you? How do we know if he’s even real?”
“She’s got a point. Why haven’t we met him yet?”
“If he thinks he's too good to come down south, meet your family, let me tell you something Aunty, that’s not the kind of man you should be with.”
“I don’t think Aunty had ‘take dating advice from a child’ on her quarantine to-do list. Maybe he’s just busy; he is a movie star— correction— a superhero! Superhero equals stable income, stable income means husband material. Simple math.”
“Well, Keith has a stable and would never be too busy for her!”
“Keith runs a stable… a horse stable. Not exactly a selling point, right Aunty?”
“Aunty, tell her she’s wrong!”
The girls get to bickering and you wipe your forehead, not too sure if it’s from the heat or the interrogation you’re enduring. You check your watch. 1:39 pm.
“Shit!” Your exclamation silences your nieces as they whip their heads towards you. “Sorry ladies,” you offer an apologetic smile for the obscenity. “I, uh, gotta get ready for a call. Let’s turn it in early, yeah?” They race in the house without a second thought, and you trail behind them.
You remove your shoes in the mud room, then stalk down the hall toward the main part of the house. You wave to your sister as you pass her home office where she’s pacing, busy on the phone, swamped in paperwork. She waves you over with a confused face and shrugs as she sees her girls buzzing around.
You go to lean in the door jamb of her office as she asks, “What brings y’all inside so early? Wasn’t expecting you to be back in for another couple hours.”
“I have that FaceTime call at 2 I gotta get ready for, remember?”
“Right, right… remind me again. It’s for a writing gig?” she asks, sifting through her mountain of papers, as distracted as she was this morning when you told her your afternoon plans.
“Uh, no. It’s um, with… Chris,” your voice trails off with each word.
Your sister whips her head around, interest now piqued. “Really? That’s good, right?”
You shrug and sigh, indifference in your expression, “It’s, y'know… whatever, Mina.”
Wilhelmina furrows her brows, “What’s wrong?” Before you could contemplate an excuse, she puts a finger up to you, “Yes, thank you, I’m trying to get in touch with…” she answers to the person on the other line.
Your watch buzzes with your 15 minute reminder for your FaceTime with Chris. “I gotta go,” you tell your sister, before turning to head upstairs. The ascension to the second level feels like a death march, the impending doom of your relationship finally setting in. Each step feels increasingly weighted. Once at the top of the staircase, you pinch the bridge of your nose as if that will alleviate your anxieties. 
“Let’s get you ready,” Wilhelmina’s maternal voice drifts to you as she comes up the stairs, melting your nerves a little. She shoots you a pity smile before ushering you into your guest room, where you make a B-line for the bathroom.
You take your time and delicately wash away the grime and sweat from your face. It’s like a Neutrogena commercial, the way you come up from the sink, staring yourself in the mirror. You take note of the creases in your forehead caused by your tense brows, the pain in your eyes, your overall sullen expression. And this feeling. This feeling is like being suspended mid-air, knowing the dreadful drop was any minute now.
You know very well who is in control of the drop. You just don’t know when you gave up that control to him. The only thing you can do now is go with grace. In an effort to have some sense of control, you did what anyone in your situation would do: You turned to Google.
“what to do when your boyfriend is about to break up with you” is what you typed into the search engine this morning. You felt like a teenager. Young and dumb. Like you’d never been in a relationship before. Like you’d never been broken up with before. None of this is new. And yet, it is. You hadn’t been here before. You hadn’t known this feeling before.
The feeling of knowing the one to make the dreadful drop happen is the same one that you love more than you knew was even possible, and damn did it hurt like hell. But could it have hurt more than knowing you’re the one that brought him to this point? Especially when you know these deep feelings are requited? The love is requited.
Who knows. You just file these feelings away for later in the hopes that it’ll inspire your pen. Right now it’s time to put on a brave face. You’ve gotten so good at it.
“So, what brought this on?” Wilhelmina inquiries after a few minutes of you lollygagging in front of the bathroom mirror.
“Oh, umm… well, he called last night. It was the first time we talked since—”
“You got here.” 
“Yeah, but who’s counting,” your deadpan earns you a disapproving look from your sister. You’ve learned to ignore it. You check the time. 5 til. “Ugh, I don’t have time to pretty myself up. Breakups are ugly anyways; guess I’ll have to be, too,” you joke, leaving Whilelmina bewildered.
“Wait, what? You’re dumping him? I know it’s tough, trust me, I get it, but—”
“No... he’s gonna dump me,” you correct her.
“What would make you think that?”
“I don’t know, maybe cos he said ‘we need to talk… for real’,” you mock his deep voice; it’s how you read his text last night in your head, “and we all know what that means…”
“Hold up, it doesn’t necessarily mean that!”
“C’mon Mina! It’s textbook breakup prep!”
“Maybe for a teenager, but he’s a grown ass man. If he says he wants to talk, he probably just wants to talk.”
“Yeah, about dumping you…” Ines mumbles under her breath from the doorway. Wilhelmina stares daggers into her mouthy daughter, and she shrinks away to mind her business.
You continue to get ready, mainly focusing on laying your edges before finding a new shirt. “So, why would he suggest we quarantine separately knowing we had issues we were working on?” you debate your sister.
“Because like he said: you need some space. Totally normal for maintaining a healthy relationship.”
“Is it though? Cos when I say “I need space”, I’m thinking about making an exit. And that’s on a good, non-pandemic day. Hell, our issues alone would make me bow out. Now you add this stressful shit on top?”
“Then why haven’t you?”
Her simple question makes you stop in tracks, your brave face wavering for just a moment. “B-Because— it doesn’t matter. He’s ending things with me, in,” you check the time, “3 minutes. And I don’t blame him! I’ve been a mess lately! An emotional wreck lately! You should’ve heard me last night, it was gross!”
Wilhelmina starts to chuckle at your dramatics, but you can tell she’s laughing at you, not with you. “What’s so funny?”
“Sweetheart, you’d have to show emotions to be an emotional wreck. I think you skipped a few steps.”
“Whatever,” you roll your eyes as you peel off your sweaty shirt and toss it in the laundry basket. You take your wash cloth to dab your underarms before putting on a nicer top. A proper shower will have to wait til later.
“I’ll have you know that I do, in fact, have emotions. I just channel them into my writing, to avoid sapping them all over any- and everyone… like some people I know,” you quirk your brow and tilt your head in Wilhelmina‘s direction.
“Girl, whatever! From what you told me, Chris is as much a romantic as I am, maybe even more so. You don’t hate it as much as you let on. Just admit it.”
You slowly turn away from Wilhelmina to primp yourself in the full length mirror. She follows you, glaring at you in hopes she will break you down. You decide to throw her a bone.
“Last night, I told him how we should’ve been together right now. There was even a quiver in my voice because I do really, really miss him. It was all so, so...” Your sister’s hands are clutching her chest, eyes glazed like she was watching a romcom. She’d finally gotten through to you. “… so pathetic.” Or so she’d thought. The sound of frustration that came from her amused you greatly, your eyes now glazed from crying of laughter. 
“See, that’s what the hell I'm talking about! If he brings emotion— vulnerability— out of you, why do you resist? He’s worth keeping around, sis. I would think you: an artist, a writer for god’s sakes, would find some value in that.”
You stare straight ahead, fixing imaginary stray curls in your hair, and avoiding eye contact with Wilhelmina. She awaits your response, brows raised, neck craned toward you, hands below her chest with palms up, as if to say ‘Sooo...???’. You wondered how long she’d stay like that before you said something. “Are you done?”
Your sister sighs, and it’s quickly followed by ringing from your laptop. You both look in its direction, then at each other. The moment you’d been bracing for all day is here. You hesitantly move towards the chair at your desk where your laptop is sat. 
“I’ll leave you to it,” Wilhelmina says before excusing herself. You almost didn’t want her to go. But you’ve got to be a big girl with a brave face.
“One last thing?” you twist in your chair to look at her in your doorway, “I know who made you believe that big girls don’t cry, but it’s bullshit. It’s good to feel. It’s okay to show it sometimes, too. Especially with the ones who showed and proved they won’t judge you for it,” she motions to your still ringing computer before closing your door.
You turn back to your desk, swallowing thickly. Here goes. You answer the call and Chris’ smiling face fills your screen. That beautiful face that’s worth doing right by.
“Hey baby! For a second there, I thought you wouldn’t answer,” he nervously chuckles. 
You smile at him but it doesn’t reach your eyes. He senses your apprehension. Even through a screen, he’s perceptive. Chris starts to small talk, rambling about work and the weather, intending to ease your guard down before getting to the tough stuff. But it’s absolutely painful pretending to be strangers. 
“Chris?”
“Yes honey?”
“I don’t wanna do this with you.”

The girl Riley!
Birthday: June 28
Age: 21 (pretty much immortal as of now and no longer physically ages)
Race: Human but with fairy blood in her. (She does have a fairy form!)
Height: 5’6
Hair color: Dark Brown
Eye color: Purple
Body type: she’s on the slimmer side but she’s not skinny. (She’s also a B cup!)
Orientation: she’s bi!
Riley grew up as the youngest of four and the only daughter. Born to loving parents Iris and Oren. Her brothers from oldest to youngest are Anthony, Evan and Sawyer. All three are protective of her and care for her.
As a child, she was cheerful, loud at times and sometimes a handful. She enjoyed playing outside, playing pretend, reading books, coloring, and doing lots of other things.
Her life was going smoothly until she arrives in Devildom! Afraid at first, but she adjusts to Devildom. Mom and Dad quickly came as well as her brothers. Her parents warned Diavolo to take care of her and don’t let her get hurt. Oren, being a former underground fight club member and tough guy especially warned him. He warned Diavolo that he’d better be prepared for a beating he would never forget if his daughter is hurt. Barbatos, was not pleased and Oren quickly told him he’d take care of him as well if needed.
After a discussion, Riley could come back to her family during days off. Mama Iris very subtly threatened them as well. She would unleash her fairy powers. You don’t mess with the fae. Even demons know this.
After the program, Riley gets romantically involved with all of the brothers but soon it includes Diavolo, Barbatos, Simeon, and Solomon!
Girl has harem XD
