One Sunny Day
(Stardew Valley)(Haley x Female Farmer)
Chapter 16
I'm in dire need of a trip to the Stardrop Saloon. I have been working my ass off on this farm non-stop, and a couple glasses of ice cold beer from Gus is going to do just the trick.
"Long time no see, Gus!" I holler as I enter the saloon.
"Ahhh Danny! Good to see you. I've heard lots about what you've been up to, but haven't gotten to see you," he replies as I take a seat at the bar.
"What do you mean you've 'heard what I've been up to'?"
"Oh you will regret you asked that. I'm sure they will answer everything you are questioning." Gus points to the arcade where the group usually hangs out. All of them are aware of my arrival and are waiting like hungry dogs for me to walk over there. Even Emily starts walking out from behind the counter and takes me by the arm to walk me over. I fumble to grab the handle of the beer Gus passed me just before we started walking away. This was not how I expected my night of relaxing to go. Instead, I am now being involuntarily investigated for who knows what.
"I didn't do it, whatever it was!" I shout, making myself sound guiltier than before.
Everyone had looked at me with confusion, but then burst out laughing.
"Can we not just want to hangout with you?" Maru chirps. I give her an accusing stare. I notice she looks at the others in the room with a suspicious look.
"Hey where is Haley?" I had noticed the spot beside Alex where she usually sits is empty.
"Got 'em," Sam says a little too loudly. The crowd, including me, shoots him a dirty look. He quickly puts his hand over his mouth as if the words just accidentally slipped out.
"What do you mean 'got 'em," I quiz Sam. He gives me a wide-eyed stare and slowly just shakes his head, not wanting to answer my question. I hear some of the group groan, some just put their hand on their forehead in disappointment.
"Jas saw you and Haley getting down and dirty, quite literally, in Aunt Marnie's cow pen. She told everyone," a voice chimes in from behind. When I turned around to see who spoke, it was Shane. He was standing in the exact same spot by the fireplace with a beer in his hand.
"Well aren't we mature, guys? Couldn't just come flat out and ask me!" I throw my hands up in the air when I turn back to look at them.
"We didn't want to...I don't know... center you out?" Leah tries. She makes a cringe face, knowing her comment did not help.
"You guys did an amazing job doing that," I clap my hands sarcastically. I won't lie, I am kind of amused at their attempt at subtleness. "Just because you guys tried so hard, I will stick around. DON'T over do it or I will leave."
Resting against the side of the pool table, facing the majority of the room, I take a sip of my beer and hold it out as if telling them to 'go on'.
"Well we all saw you guys dancing together at the Flower Dance of course. What was that about? Elliot wags his eyebrows as he asks.
"She didn't have a dance partner," I looked at Alex for a split second, then turned back and continued, "and I also didn't have a dance partner so naturally we just partnered up. That's not anything weird."
"You know what I meant, Danny."
I sheepishly look down at my muddy boots and tap them anxiously on the hardwood floor.
"You guys had a lot of chemistry going on there..." Abigail pitches in.
"Then we hear that you guys were getting it on in Marnie's cow pen?" Sebastian joins.
"We weren't 'getting it on'!" I howl in embarrassment while doing air quotes. I now truly know what it's like to not have privacy in this town.
"My sister hasn't stopped talking about you whether she knows she is doing it or not. Everyday it's 'Danny this. Danny that'. No offense, but I don't need to hear everything it is you are doing, or are planning to do," she gives me a friendly laugh. I know she didn't mean harm, but I couldn't stop focusing on the fact that Haley is talking about me all the time.
"She talks about me?" I inquire while slightly blushing, somehow forgetting that everyone is listening to me.
Sam perks up and aggressively sticks his hand out to me as a way of saying their point is proven.
"She isn't into me! She isn't even into girls. I don't know what you guys want from me. She is always on and off again with Alex which means she is clearly into him. Enough to keep going back." This has just turned into a big finger pointing game.
"Leave me out of this," Alex throws his hands up in surrender.
"Just like you randomly left her alone on the day of the Flower Dance? Do you know how much that means to her? And for someone else even! Who does that?" I snapped at him.
The room falls silent. No one dares to say a peep. My breath is heavy and unsteady. My anger level is starting to boil over.
"If you're into Haley just admit it and get this over with," he quietly and calmly replies.
"FINE! You guys want me to admit it? I'm into Haley! Are you all happy now?" I finally break, dramatically throwing my arms out to the sides with each sentence.
"We all knew, Danny. You didn't hide it well. We just wanted you to admit it and not think you have to hide it." Maru says gently.
"Why would I admit it when it makes no difference in how things are? She isn't into me and never will be. I'm nowhere even near her type. She hates how dirty I always am from being outside. She hates the way I dress. She hates the farm smell that lingers on me. She hates everything about me." I lay back onto the pool table, contemplating everything being said.
"The way she looks at you says otherwise," Penny quietly says.
"You're just saying that to make me feel better, but thank you for trying." I poke my head up as I speak to Penny, but rest it back down after.
"She was actually here the whole time," I hear Sam say. I quickly jump up off the pool table and look for her. I can't believe she just heard me say all that.
"I'm just fucking with you," Sam cracks up uncontrollably, swinging his body around as he laughs. Sebastian, who is sitting right next to him, puts his hand on Sam's shoulder and just shakes his head.
"Haha very funny," I shoot back sarcastically as I roll my eyes. I go back to just leaning on the pool table.
"Just tell her how you feel," Sam has finally stopped his laugh attack to pitch in.
"Just for her to go back to Alex eventually and hate me for ever being around her? Absolutely not. She'd be so disgusted if she found out I was into her and creeped out by the fact we hung out often."
"She wouldn't think that-," Emily tries.
"Did she tell you that?" I cut in before she could finish her sentence.
"No but-" Emily attempts once again. I throw my hand up to silence her and angrily leave the arcade.
"I'm not risking my pride and dignity just to get shot down," were the last words I called back before leaving the saloon all together.

in your opinion, why do you think it takes some people (me) so long to let go of hurt someone caused in your life....I’m trying to understand why I do that and would rather hold on to hurt/bad feelings, hatred- (I know it sounds bad)towards someone then let go of it? I was talking to a guy over a year he caused me a lot of hurt but would always justify it (flip it on me and make it my fault when it clearly wasn’t)...our relationship ended but it’s taken me so long to even let go of hurt like I said and cry about it multiple times everyday...
Hey love,
From my perspective, there can be various reasons why you continue to hold onto the pain. You become trapped in the pain because you have become accustomed to the emotions and the way you typically respond to disappointments.
It is perfectly fine to cry. Get a journal and release your emotions by putting them into words. Participate in activities that promote self-reflection, like axe throwing, painting, start passion project or go to the gym. Remember, heartbreak is the secret ingredient for achieving gym results, Babe.
Don’t cheat yourself from healing, it’s where the shift begins. You got to get it out and have a plan to get through it. It doesn’t end with the pain someone caused you. You can take what you learned and what happened and use it to become a better person! Take control of it, dont let it control you!
I recommend reaching out to a professional for assistance. It is important to transform your mindset and address any past traumas in a healthy manner. A therapist can assist you in navigating your emotions and offer you fresh insights.
Therapy has guided me through my own struggles, and helped me overcome the root of my trauma.. things I suppressed and patterned I’ve developed when I was in survival mode.
Please remain understanding and kind to yourself as you progress in your healing process. Allow yourself to make mistakes and remember that the challenges you've faced do not determine your worth or identity.
I hope this helps you along your healing journey 💗

Xoxo,

Honestly I'd been seeing a lot of backlash, complaints and disappointment since Leah got casted as Annabeth and I really want to address y'all that a lot of you're being downright racist in the name of “book accuracy” and frankly it's disgusting. And I'm very disappointed in this fandom's immaturity.
“But it's not accurate to the books–” Book accuracy doesn't mean they've to look 100% similar, it's more about plot, personality and their chemistry with other actors. And as much as harsh it sounds, the need of proper representation and diversity is more important than having accuracy by being white with blonde hair. And if Rick Riordan, the literal author and creater of Annabeth Chase thinks it's not important, then maybe it's not.
“But beating dumb blonde stereotype–” A stereotype which never existed, it was a form of misogyny as only blonde women were assumed to be dumb not men. And it was never an oppression against blondes. It also stopped existing after 2010, there's no reason to show blondes facing struggles for being blonde in freaking 2022. Also women of colour are not taken seriously or assumed to be lesser than white people everyday, Annabeth, one of the smartest character of the series being woc will still be technically doing the same thing, but it's more impactful as this is a bigger and more serious issue than ‘dumb blonde stereotype’.
“But if it was the other way around–” Yes it will not be the same thing because you know what? White people don't have a history of facing oppression, racism, hate and bigotry. White people also are not underrepresented in media. Majority of characters in mainstream media are white, poc don't get the same amount of representation. And a lot of times the representation is filled with stereotypes and racist undertones. And even the original PJO series don't have diversity. And Annabeth's race is completely irrelevant to her character (take the example of Hazel, a lot of her trauma and experience were formed by the racism she faced, it's important to her arc, Annabeth's is not) so it shouldn't change a damn thing about her.
“But Annabeth's insecurities–” She was never insecure about her hair colour, ffs she has a personality outside of her race and hair colour. There was ONE line about it in HOO but it was completely irrelevant as it was never addressed or mentioned again. Nowhere in the series did she express hate for being blonde, she was always considered to be the smart and mature one of the trio, she was never not taken seriously or assumed to be stupid over her hair. It's a false narrative you guys come up with to justify your behaviour. Annabeth's biggest insecurities were abandonment issues and not being able to prove herself, not blonde hair. And that one paragraph means nothing as Rick himself admitted he's inconsistent in writing some things (Nico turning pale from olive skinned, Thalia's eyes, Reyna's backstory etc) so safe to say it was never a big deal.
“But it's our personal opinions–” You're allowed to form an opinion, you're allowed to be not happy w the casting. No but many of you're using it as a sheild to excuse your obvious racist undertones. Leah is a child and she deserves to be protected and celebrated, and all of you literal adults repeatedly crying and complaining about a CHILD in the internet is doing nothing but spreading negativity. If you can't be happy for a girl getting her dream role then do all of us a favour and shut the fuck up instead of spoiling it for her with all your negativity.
“But expressing disappointment isn't racism–” No being unhappy with the casting is valid but being THIS much concerned over her race when it was never relevant to her character is worrying. And denying the micro aggresion and racist undertones with it is even more concerning. She's getting harrassed and bullied by literal adults to the point Rick and Becky have to write tweets and articles to address the issue. It's racism. Walker is blond w blue eyes, Rick has no intention of dying his hair, people complained but there was never this much outrage and controversy as Leah's casting did, something tells me it's not about book accuracy but more about race.
For a fandom of one of the most popular diverse series, I'd expect y'all to be more mature about it. Grow tf up. You guys are honestly embarassing. Especially all the adult fans who are being mean to a child because they won't see one white blonde girl.
Leah IS Annabeth, deal with it. And she will do an amazing job in bringing Annabeth to life.
You guys can keep crying lol or maybe grow up but that's expecting too much I guess.

Perfect Imperfections.
Jeon Jungkook x OC 
Genre : Arranged Marriage AU! Angst! Explicit Sexual Content. 
Rating : 21+ 
Warnings : Ableism , Chronic disability. OC has limited use of her left leg, Emotional infidelity? Mild Cheating ( nothing very physical.. a kiss or so ) 
Summary : Marrying Jungkook is a mistake. Falling in love with him? Definitely the worst exercise in masochism . 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ This is nothing but me indulging my love for writing bad cliches. That is it. Its literally a fest of cliche k drama tropes] 
Chapter 1
After the accident, my life had become something of a stagnant pond. 
Everyday began much the same. 
The alarm, mild but not jarring. Not very shrill but definitely insistent, sweeping away any lingering traces of sleep. I blinked awake, cobwebs of exhaustion still marring my vision but a few deep breaths, a few more blinks and I was awake .
And now came the harder part.
Getting my legs to work. 
It never got better, despite the many years that I’d spent in physiotherapy. All it really did was stop it from getting worse. Or maybe I’d just gotten used to the pain at this point. 
Deep breaths helped. Sometimes. 
But not today. 
“Mrs Jeon?” The familiar voice made me jump a little. 
“Sana...” I said, relieved. “ Could you come over? Seems like I’m going to need some help today.” I laughed nervously, gripping the sheets harder.” Could you help me sit up?” 
The girl moved closer, feet nimble and quick and sure and i felt my throat clench in envy. I swallowed it down though, just the way I swallowed every bad thing that came my way. 
It had been eight years ago.
 A fall from a fifty feet ravine. Cuts and scrapes all over my body, abrasions all over my torso. And legs that had absolutely shattered on impact. Multiple fractures. Motor Nerve Damage on my left leg. 
The skin stitched together. The bones grew back. 
But the nerve damage stayed. 
I wasn’t completely helpless. I could walk with the brace. Slowly and with a mildly awkward gait but I could walk. Even better if I was using crutches. 
But it wasn’t something I could hide. 
People looked at me and that was the first thing that they noticed. 
The girl who couldn’t walk. 
I sat still, gripping the edge of the bed as Sana carefully grabbed the brace and helped me put it on. I watched as she carefully set the loops in place, fixed the velcro and finally helped set my toes in place. 
“Thank you.” i whispered and she nodded.
“Mr. Jeon left early. He said that he won’t be home tonight.” 
I smiled a little. 
“I’m sorry. I know you don’t want to be caught between us. It must make you feel uncomfortable.” I said . 
She looked surprised but quickly ducked her head
“No, Mrs. Jeon.” 
I sighed.
“You may leave. I’ll come down soon.” I said quietly. 
How handsome he looked, in that beautiful dark suit. How strong and handsome and ...whole. 
Right next to a framed article about us from a magazine.
Tumblr media
Jungkook ran  marathons and trained as a boxer. He worked as the managing director at a steel manufacturing unit . Spent his days overseeing workers in the smelting units, and everyone knew that it wasn’t uncommon to see the Jeon heir, shirtless and sweaty and covered in dirt and getting down and dirty with all the other workers as the ore got delivered. 
Someone like that... Someone that perfect.... Deserved a woman who would be an equal. Beautiful and graceful and perfect. And he had had her. My sister. For three years, I’d watched my sister and Jungkook be the perfect couple . Deeply in love and so happy. 
I watched her leave, gently closing the door behind her, before shifting my gaze to the large  portrait on the opposite side of the wall. It was a picture of my husband and I taken on the day we got betrothed. 
What they hadn’t counted on was how greedy our parents could be. 
Jungkook was the younger son. And his father had long written him off as unreliable. He was wild and headstrong. Had his own ideals and morals. Wouldn’t really bend to his father’s will. So his brother was the one who would be set to inherit the company. 
And my father , with his billion dollar empire wasn’t going to give away his precious daughter and all of her inheritance to a paltry second son. 
Jungkook’s brother had married my sister. And Jungkook had been forced to marry me. A comedy of errors , except it wasn’t really funny and no one was laughing. 
I swallowed. That was seven months ago. The first few weeks had gone in stony silence and hushed whispers. I knew he was talking to my sister. Knew she was sobbing in despair on the other end. My sister and I had never gotten along. And now, she had a genuine reason to despise me. 
Three months into marriage he had a small accident at the Manufacturing Unit.A small fall, not that far. Ten feet or so, but he’d crashed into a steel structure on his way down. He had a dislocated shoulder and some flesh wounds. Not that bad. 
But my entire body had gone ice cold at the news, when i first heard it. 
It was a brutal sort of realization. 
That perhaps I wasn’t as indifferent to him as he was to me. Six weeks, with him had changed things. He didn’t talk much, other than the bare minimum but I didn’t hold it against him. I helped him anyway I could. Typed out emails for him. Helped him eat and change. 
Hands brushing and time spent together meant tension. And a shift in the way he looked at me, sometimes. I noticed, wasn’t sure if I could act on it. But he was still my husband. And I didn’t really want to spend the rest of my life celibate. 
So, even though it was so unlike me... I’d made the first move. Linked my fingers with his. Brushed my lips across his. A gesture that meant a hundred things. A touch that invited more. And he must’ve wanted it, at least physically. Because he indulged me. Gave me a glimpse of heaven on his bed. 
And yet, six weeks of being as close as two humans could be didn’t change much.  
We were strangers who slept together. Who appeared in public together. Who did everything our family expected of us. And I wasn’t sure how to bridge that awkward gap between us. Jungkook was a fiercely physical person. His free time was spent in the gym , or cycling or hiking. 
I couldn’t walk across the room without having to grip the walls for support every few minutes.                                                              
Could anyone blame him for being bitter? For being distant? For not knowing what to do with me? 
And in all this time , I’d only learnt a handful of things about my husband. How he felt on top of me. How he sounded when he came, how he looked eyebrows furrowed as he talked into his phone  and of course, how little he cared about me. 
Yes, we would have sex. Yes, he bought me a couple of gifts when he was overseas. But otherwise his heart belonged to my sister. It wasn’t something he hid. 
As the days passed, I realized that it was time to keep myself safe. That I couldn’t show him all of me anymore. He was careful with me, guarded and secretive because he was smart. He didn’t want me to know anything about him. 
There was a reason. There had to be. 
So the best thing to do would be to do the same. Build that distance between us. This was going to crash and burn someday and I had to 
And the past few weeks, he’d been busy with more deals. Some kind of MoU with some supplier had gone south and they were looking for different suppliers. Jungkook was busy. I hadn’t seen him in ten days. 
And now apparently he had come home and left without so much as seeing me. 
Sighing, I moved to the garden, walking slowly to the marble bench set under the large sweetgum tree. I settled down , sighing. I ran a palm over my belly, soft and hesitant. 
I was two and half months along. It didn’t show...thanks to the oversized clothes I wore. But it wasn’t the kind of thing you could hide forever. I wasn’t sure why I started hiding it in the first place. It was just that.... I knew that no one would be happy for me. My family would be ecstatic but for the wrong reasons.
I could already imagine .
 Finally. Now he can’t leave you. 
I felt sick to my stomach at the thought of it. At the thought of someone talking about my baby like some sort of handcuff to lock Jungkook in. 
I would have to tell him. Of course. But I didn’t know when or how . I didn’t want to hide it from him. There was no point. But ... I wasn’t quite sure i wanted to see that look of helpless disappointment in his face. 
The sound of his car drew me out of my reverie and I startled, glancing over at the wide driveway. I glanced at the time . It was a little past eleven in the morning. What was he doing here? 
“Leah! Get inside!” Jungkook’s voice rang out and I jumped. 
“Jungkook?” I stared as he all but jumped out of the car rushing to me. 
“Come on.. get up.”
“What’s going on..?” I asked, heart pounding as he gripped my elbow, drawing me into his arms. 
“Dad fucked up. Got mixed with some shady bastards and apparently, they’ve put a hit out on me and hyung.”
My heart dropped.
“What?!!” I choked out, stunned. “ Jungkook...” My fingers curled over his chest, clutching the 
“Don’t worry... we know who it is and we have guys of our own. They’ll take care of it. No one comes for a Jeon and lives to tell the tale. I just wanted to make sure you stayed in. Don’t go anywhere. there are guards all over the place. but i want you to stay home. Okay? Just till this blows over?” 
I flinched, legs aching fierce as he led me up the stairs and he stared at me, eyes dripping with worry. The look was so foreign....so unlike the indifference I was used to that I could only stare. 
“Are you alright?” He asked urgently and I nodded quickly, hands curving over my stomach instinctively. 
“You’ll stay here right? With me...?” I asked softly and Jungkook hesitated. 
“I... I need to go check on Lisa.” He said stiltedly and I froze at my sister’s name.
“She’s with her husband, right?” I asked sharply, anger building out of pure fear. “ Why do you-”
“Don’t question me. Go in. Now.” He said quickly and I frowned. 
“You don’t have to go there. She has a husband of her own.” I said quietly, voice shaking. 
“I have to. I... I have to just go make sure she’s alright.” He snapped angrily and I curled my fingers into fists. 
Apparently, even when there was a very real threat to our lives, he would rather risk my life and his than let go of his obsession for my sister. i wanted to vomit. My skin felt clammy and my heart raced. I imagined him doing this when we had a kid....risking our child because he can’t stop thinking of her.... And he would do it..... Of course he would. 
“Then go.” i snapped, tears filling my eyes .  I yanked my arm out of his, stumbling a bit.
Jungkook looked shocked. 
“Leah...” He reached for me but I pulled back and away. 
“Go to her and don’t you dare come back here.” I screamed. Jungkook stiffened. 
“Leah... enough.”
“You’re right. I’ve had enough . Of your dirty pining. Of you. She’s married for god’s sake. To your brother. They’re together. Its over and done with. Why can’t you just accept it and move on?!!” I choked out. My chest hurt. 
“You knew I loved her when you married me.” He snapped back and I laughed in disbelief.
“Yes. And you knew I’d break someday. That I’d someday have enough of you treating me like I was disposable. Isn’t that why you kept at it for so long? You wanted me to be the one break things off right? So you could get out of your father’s anger...unscathed. Well, guess what. You got your wish.... I’m done!! “ 
He didn’t reply.
“Go inside. I have to go.” He said softly. 
I watched as he turned on his heel and stalked back down the driveway. 
Was it supposed to hurt this bad? My heart felt a bit like it was cleaving in two. Had I really just told him I had enough? What did that mean? Was I going to leave him? I felt my head spin , worry and fear laced with disbelief.
 Someone was out to kill him? How could he be so flippant about it? 
I shook my head. The Jeon’s were  a weird bunch. Although they were one of the richest families in our society, they lacked any of the charming social graces that came with it. For years, everyone had kept them at arm’s length because while all other families had aristocratic roots and beginnings, the Jeon’s came from a background of mining iron ore and making steel : a rugged and dirty business.
The only reason my father had agreed to 
And was I really going to leave him? where did I even begin? I couldn’t leave. I had no home to go to. My parents would take one look at me and send me back to Jungkook. I felt like a prize fool. I was stuck here. For eternity. That was all there was to it. 
A decade ago, I’d had a future. But that evening on that mountain trail had changed my life forever. I was , for all intents and purposes disabled. I couldn’t just walk out of here and build a life for myself. I wouldn’t last a day. 
I dragged myself to the living space, stopping when i saw how deserted the place looked. 
There were usually people bustling about. Especially so close to lunch. 
“Sana!!!” I called out, only to be met with the echoing silence of my own voice. And then a few seconds later she appeared , 
“Mrs. Jeon.... Is Mr. Jeon here?”
“He just left... Is everything okay?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Where is everyone? Are all of you busy?” I asked nervously. 
She bowed. “ Yes, ma’am.... The rest of us are cleaning out the pantry and Cook’s in the kitchen. Seul and Leejin are out in the backyard cleaning the statues near the koi pond. Mr. Jeon’s asked all the footmen and guards to stay around the perimeter. Will you need anything else?
“No... I’ll just rest till lunch.” I said gently, waving her off.
She left. 
The eerie silence that followed told me there was nothing to do but embrace the loneliness and I hesitated, moving slowly to the window and peering out. I couldn’t see any of the guards either. 
My fingers shook a little as I moved slowly to the entryway that led into the dining space. It was dark in here, the light from outside only illuminating the west wall which had large windows set in. I moved to the windows and stared out into the Jeon estate. 
Although Jungkook was the younger brother, he had been taxed with maintaining and caring for the family estate. Not because his father trusted him but because the old man knew just how much Jungkook hated the place. 
I played with my wedding ring as i remembered the countless times I’d watched the two of them fight, Jungkook coldly still while his father hurled abuses at him. Jeon Jaesook considered his son to be incompetent and disobedient, which made little to no sense to me. 
As far as i knew Jungkook had helped increase production and had cut down operating costs significantly over the seven years that he’d been working as the managing Director at Jeon Steelworks.
But it was obvious the old man favored Jihyun, Jungkook’s older brother. Jihyun worked in the air conditioned offices located in Gangnam, the CEO taking care of all their sales and marketing while Jungkook , who had an actual degree in Business spent his days slaving away at the smelting Units, a job that was physically and mentally exhausting. 
And while it always made my stomach twist, this unfair treatment he got subjected to, there wasn’t much i could do. My father had made it clear that he wouldn’t agree to the investment, unless both his daughters married the Jeon brothers. And Jungkook’s father had made it clear that if Jungkook didn’t agree , he would be out on the streets without a penny to his name. 
My leg began aching and I turned back around ready to go settle into my workroom where I usually worked on my writing when I heard his footsteps. I glanced up, frowning. 
Jungkook stood in the doorway staring at me with an unreadable expression on his face. 
I stared at him for a few seconds, waiting for him to say something. 
When he didn’t, I sighed.
“Did you think I was going to leave?” I asked bitterly.
He sighed. 
“I’m not going to cheat on you. “
I nodded.
“I suppose you want me to thank you for that?” I shook my head. “ You don’t have to keep your worthless vows. Go sleep with her. Why would it make a difference to me?” 
He exhaled sharply. 
“I thought you understood.” He said sharply.
“I did. I do.” I said curtly “ I understand that my parents screwed the two of you over. I understand that you had to do something you absolutely did not want to. But there’s something you need to understand too. Just because I’ve accepted this, it doesn’t mean I enjoy it. It doesn’t mean I have to be happy about my husband being in love with another woman, much less my own sister.” 
Jungkook nodded. 
“Right. Got it. “ He said curtly and I flinched when another muscle twitch told me I’d been standing for too long. 
“I’m going to go lay down.”
“Do you need me to get you a heating pad? For the leg? Or send one of the girls to massage your legs?” He asked softly, stepping closer and lightly gripping my elbow when my knees buckled. 
I didn’t have much choice than to grip his forearm, because the pain was intensifying from pins and needles to proper muscle spasms. Sweat began to bead on my upper lip and i felt just a little faint. 
“Yes. “ I said , feeling pathetic. I should have used the crutches. It had been a bad day even when I woke up. I should have sensed it and taken the proper measures.
“Leah... Should I run a warm bath for you? “ Jungkook's lips brushed my ear when he leaned to hold my weight up and i stiffened. 
“That won’t be necessary. I just need help back up to the bed, thank you.” I said shortly. He looked uncertain and shook his head. 
“ okay, but I’ll get Sana to run you a warm bath and make you some willowbark Tea.” He said quietly, and when I stumbled a bit on the first step he swore. 
“This isn’t going to work.... Come here.” He said gruffly and before I could protest he bent low, gripping the back of my knees and pulling me up into his arms.
i swallowed, head spinning as I cradled the curve of my lower belly. 
 Tell him... Tell him... Tell him...
 I felt my head throb as I kept my arms wrapped tight around his shoulders. 
“I’m pregnant .” i blurted out. 
Jungkook stumbled , nearly sending the both of us tumbling down the flight of stairs and i clung to him in terror. Okay, maybe the timing could have been better.
“What?” He looked ashen. Like he’d seen an actual ghost. 
“Just thought you should know.” I muttered under my breath. 
We reached the landing and he didn’t say anything, looking away from me, his jaw taut and lips set in a  thin line. I felt my throat go sandpaper dry. He waited till we were safely in the confines of our bedroom, placing me down on the bed gently and moving to close the door and lock it. 
I stared up at the ceiling, refusing to look at his face. 
“ Leah-”
“Its fine. You don’t have to say anything. I didn’t know till a week ago myself.” 
Silence. 
“Have you told your parents?” 
I exhaled sharply.
“No.” 
“Mine?”
“No...”
“Then would you consider.... “ He trailed off and i finally stared at him. 
“No.” I said softly. 
He sighed. 
“Alright. Should  I book an appointment with Dr. Lee?” 
I laughed. 
“How very practical of you..” i said. 
“What else do you expect from me..”
“Not even an ounce of support, that’s for sure.” I snapped and he growled.
“You want me to lie? Fine.. I’m happy!! So fucking happy that we’re bringing an innocent kid into our fucked up family. ” He shouted.
 This was why I didn’t want to tell him, I thought bitterly. 
“You’re the only one who’s fucked up, Jungkook. I’m perfectly fine with myself and my choices. I can give my baby all the stability they might ever need.”
“ That’s not hat I'm talking about. do you know what its like to grow up with parents who can’t stand each other?” Jungkook shouted. 
I gaped at him. Can’t stand each other? Is that how he saw us? 
“As long as you don’t walk out on us, we’ll be fine.” I muttered despondently. 
“ Don’t worry about that. I’m not going to run away from my responsibilities. ” He said quietly.
I finally turned to look at him, placing both my hands on my stomach.
“Do you want me to leave you?” I asked honestly.” Have you ever thought about it?” 
He didn’t say anything.
“So you have.” I smiled sadly. It wasn’t surprising but it did hurt. 
“Of course I have. You’re Lisa’s sister and Lisa is my... “ He paused, shaking his head, “ But, I know you can’t. I don’t expect you to either.” He said gruffly, grabbing the intercom.
I watched as he called the housekeeper, firing off instruction for Sana and then to the cook to send some tea for me. He hung up and turned to me again.
“Lisa and I are going to go to Japan for a week. She has a conference there and I’m going to scout for locations just in case we open up a distribution office there.” 
I turned away. 
“ You don’t have to tell me all that. You didn’t before, i don’t want you to start now.” I said firmly. 
He didn’t reply and i turned back to stare at the ceiling. 
Jungkook hovered for a few seconds before moving closer to the bed and grabbing the comforter and a couple of pillows. I felt a lump in my throat as he carefully picked my leg up, placing the pillows underneath. i was almost numb from the thigh down. 
i closed my eyes as he carefully pulled the comforter over my waist, folding it over my chest. 
“Rest well.” He said quietly before walking away. i heard the door opening and then closing. 
i waited till I heard his footsteps fades away before opening my eyes and staring at the ceiling. 
I should probably put some paintings up there, I thought. 
Author’s Note : This entire fic can be summed up as me not having any self control.

Random HCs for residents Of Pelican town✨ fall editon✨
In honor of ✨spooky✨ season officially commencing, enjoy! I didn’t do everyone but I’m more than happy to do a part two if anyone is interested :)
You can’t tell me that Harvey doesn’t love going apple picking. He radiates wicker-basket-with-a cloth-in-it vibes. And you and I both know he says “ an apple a day keeps the doctor away!” As he puts apples into his basket and LAUGHS. The stardew valley fair is his favorite even though he gets a little overwhelmed.
Shane’s only reason for loving the holiday season, specifically fall, is the fair because he gets to show off all his and his aunts hard work raising animals and…he can dress up his chickens. Will ask Haley to come and take pictures and honestly, she loves it.
Besides the chickens, Haley does photo shoots of the kids in their costumes too. She called Vincent, jas, and Leo her “models”. Gifts the photos to their respective guardians. Haley gives Linus the photos and says he’s pretty much Leo’s family now. Really hits linus in the gut.
Emily and Gus are deep in the fall spirit. Like deeeeep. They’ve been planing the seasonal menu and cocktails at the saloon since last fall. Truly it does not disappoint and their decor in the saloon? Perfect. They try to dress up everyday during the season (besides the stardew fair, even though Emily really wants dress up as a clown that day…)
Sebastian is very on the DL for his love of fall. Yeah sure, he’s always said he likes the rain and coolness fall season brings but…Sebastian starts his fall decor shopping in September. Yeah, DECORATION shopping. Its tradition that him and Robin decorate the house together and it’s the perfect balance of spooky and cutesy. They seemingly catch up while decorating and it’s always been tradition to have pumpkin soup after decorating.
Talking about tradition, Robin and Leah have a pumpkin carving contest. And let me tell you, every year they manage to outdo themselves from the years prior. Everyone is blown away every time. They showcase their work at the fair too!
Happy first day of Halloween guys <3

Not sure if you would be up for writing it, but maybe an imagine with Leah x female reader with lots of fluff and them falling in love?
Meeting her.
Leah Clearwater x Fem!reader.
A/N: Anon, I love Leah Clearwater. my bi heart goes pitter patter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leah’s POV:
I walked through the streets of La Push heading towards the local diner for a quiet breakfast. Luckily there weren’t many people out so far to throw pitied glances; living in a small town had its disadvantages, every one knew my business in one way or another.
The sky was clear for once with the exception of a few wispy clouds, illuminating the remaining layer of fog that lingered between the trees and along the pavement. It was quiet. Clouds were painted with the faint pink and orange glow that was comparable to the likes of cotton candy.
It gave me something to be thankful for today. I could always count on the natural beauty of La Push to put me in a better mood.
Jingles rang out from the bells that hung off the door handle to the diner indicating to the staff that someone arrived. The clock read 7:30.
“Good morning!” A sweet voice called from the back of the restaurant sending my heart fluttering which was rare. A feeling I hadn't felt in years and it felt good.
I said hello back and took a seat glancing once more out the window grabbing the menu that stuck up behind the napkin holder.
Scanning down the laminated menu it was effortless to feel happy, my world was making sense again in the moment; I could confidently say that today was promising.
The waitresses' soft footsteps and melodic voice pulled my attention away from the sheet of plastic that rested in my hands.
“Good morning, my name’s (y/n) and I’ll be your waitress for the morning. Is there anything you’d like to start with?”
I looked up and locked eyes with her as I was about to answer. My voice stopped in my throat, my heart stopped for a few beats and my pupils dilated for a brief moment. The flare of pink that tinted her cheeks brought me back to earth again and my heart felt pulled to her, tied in an eternal bond
“Oh y-yeah I’d like a cup of coffee please.”
“Okay I’ll be back with your drink shortly.” She gave me a soft smile and turned back to the counter getting my drink ready leaving me with a moment to panic.
I know what happened, it’s something I thought wouldn’t happen at least not for a long time. Running my hand through my hair letting out a shaky breath I leaned my forehead on the table before looking forward. I finally imprinted.
The movement of her brought my gaze back as she approached with a cup of coffee and a notepad tucked into the pocket of her red apron.
“Here you go, be careful it’s hot.”
“Thank you, darling.” Spilled from my lips, my sudden burst of confidence set her cheeks ablaze resulting in her tumbling over her next words.
“Uh, what would you like to- um- eat?”
I told her the pancake breakfast and she turned on her heel calling my order to the cooks in the kitchen. I noticed she stole a quick glance in my direction causing me to blush and look away.
I had to figure out another way to talk to her, get her number, maybe take her on a date.
My desire to see her again and hear her smooth voice is what placed me back in the diner for two weeks straight. On days she didn’t work I’d order a coffee and drink it with the looming presence of disappointment repeating in my head.
I was back in the diner starting my third week of stealing glances and flirting back and forth with her.
Anything she said would tinge my ears red and heat would rise to my cheeks, she has me in a choke hold without doing anything but existing.
Today she wasn’t here so I ordered my usual coffee and the other waitress that (y/n) worked with had turned away. The jingle of the door rang out and someone sat down in front of me.
Looking up at the person who occupied the seat across from me I saw her. Her beauty warmed the atmosphere, she brought life to what I felt was my dark life. Her hair dazzled in the sunlight while her eyes sparkled with life and warmth.
(y/n) centred my world. She was the answer to all of my unanswered questions. The tension in my shoulders relaxed in her glow, with her in my world it was like a movie, like a song. She is my world.
I wanted to see her again so badly that I mulled over the idea of asking her on a date, a real date, not her coming in on her well deserved days off to see me.
I have to ask her out, it’s what my heart wants and I can feel that it’s what she wants too.
~~~~~~~~~
(y/n)’s POV
When I first met Leah she had come into the diner, I think it was 7:30 on a clear day approximately three weeks ago, since that day she’s been in everyday. She quickly made her way to the top of my favourite customer list, with her sweet words and compliments she could easily make me blush.
I remember looking at her for the first time, her shoulders relaxed from the tense position that they were in, the scowl on her face softened. She looked like she had seen light after sitting in the dark for years.
She is beautiful, her skin is like a burnt sienna, it radiates warmth like the sun one the first day of spring. Her eyes were a beautiful brown, it reminded me of the beauty trees hold on rainy days. It was aided by the scent that radiated off of her, it was cedar and pine mixed with a hint of rain and lavender.
Her hair fell below her chin, the colour was deep with hints of red when the sun caught it. Her laugh is music to my ear filling my heart with joy, lifting my spirits on the drieriest of days.
I knew Leah would be in the diner again today so I grabbed my purse and headed over to meet her. I planned on taking her on a proper date which meant asking her for her number.
The bells chimed with the opening of the door and I spotted Leah in what was now her booth. Her eyes were glued to the menu in front of her and she wore a small frown upon her face, probably disappointed that I didn’t work today.
Her eyes left the menu and looked towards me as I sat down across from her.
“Good morning Leah.” My greeting was enough to flush her cheeks with a tint of red sending my heart into overdrive with how cute she looked.
My presence seemed to lift her mood since her eyes pooled with joy.
“I thought you didn’t work today?” She quizzed me with a small smile.
“I don’t but I wanted to see you without having to wait on other people.” She looked down at her hands which were now folded in front of her on the table, my chest tightened and my heart screamed at me to grab her hand, to hold them, to kiss them.
I don’t know why I felt so strongly for a person I barely knew but by god, I’d give the world for her. I was attached and hooked now. I couldn’t imagine another world without her being there. It was like I found my soulmate in her.
She looked at me and I saw panic flash across her face before she took a deep breath. She unfolded her hands and placed them flat on the table. The yearn for holding her hand came back tenfold.
“I was. . . wondering if you’d like to go on a proper date.”
Leah looked nervous for my response but all I could feel was the joy bursting out of my heart.
“Oh course Leah, I’d love to. I was um actually going to ask you on a date myself. . .”
Relief washed over her features. I rounded up the confidence and reached out to hold her hand. It was soft and slightly bigger than mine, her fingers wrapped between mine sending a rush of electricity up my arm to my head.
“I guess it's a date then.” she smirked at me darkening my cheeks more than they already were. She knew what she was doing and the effect she has on me. I wouldn’t trade it for the world though.
I unlocked my phone pushing the screen towards her which showed an empty contact. “How about I get your number and we can plan where we should go later. Right now I’d like to buy you breakfast if it’s okay with you.”
She squeezed my hand and rubbed her thumb against the top telling me it was fine with her. My heart already loved this woman sitting in front of me and I could only hope she felt the same way about me. I hope she wants a future with me because I know I want one with her.

Love you more (Leah Clearwater X Reader)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wc: 1219
Warnings: a tiny bit of angst
A/n: This request from a hot minute ago but I’m glad I finally finished it. 
Masterlist 
Snow was finally starting to stick in Forks. The weather quickly changed from fall into a deep winter storm. Trees started turning a deep autumn orange and leaves fluttered to the ground as they did every year. Stores were now stocked with pumpkin spice scents and bulky winter coats. You adored this time of year because it meant spending more time with the pack and your best friend/ secret crush Leah.
You spent pretty much everyday with Leah, you met when you were little kids and you’ve been inseparable ever since. You were there when she fell for Sam and you were there for the downfall of their relationship. You picked up the pieces of Leahs’ shattered heart and pieced her back together again. You held her when she cried and felt empty but eventually you started to fall for the broken girl. Sitting around waiting for her to realize that you were right there hurt deeply. Her tiny disappointed glances toward Sam and Emily always made your heart hurt but she was your best friend first and it was your job to be by her side even if it cost your sanity.
You sat in Emilys’ house on the couch watching the fireplace crackle and snap. You pressed your back deeply into the couch for more comfort and waited for the snow flurries to start again. Leah sat right next to you burning holes in both Emily and Sams’ heads’. You rolled your eyes and shifted away from her. The pack sat in a comfortable silence and rested for the first time in months. Occasionally Sam would scowl at Leah and the others would look down at their feet not wanting to get into another one of Leah and Sams arguments. The tension in that room was thicker than cheesecake and you just wanted to escape. Finally someone spoke up. 
“Guys cut it out, we’re just trying to have a nice evening,” Jacobs voice boomed and caught everyone's attention. You knew this was coming eventually but you didn’t think Jacob would be the one  to say anything usually he was so quiet, always lost in his own thoughts to be concerned with others. 
“Oh fuck off Jacob, it’s gross and no one wants to see them act like that.” Leah shot daggers at Sam and Emily with her eyes. 
“Leah can you please stop, I understand but you don’t have to treat them that way,” Jacob had a hint of sadness to his plea but he tried to disregard it. You wrapped your hands around your stomach and tried your best to disappear. 
Emilys’ comfortable smile  faded as Leah spoke and now was replaced with a look of pity. Emily didn’t look at Leah but she looked right in your eyes and you could tell that she felt bad for you. Emily was usually kind and caring but you’d never been that close with her and that tiny gesture of kindness changed your outlook on her. Sam on the other hand had veins popping out of his head, his eyes narrowed on Leah but Emily grabbed his hand and pulled him away into the kitchen. Leah cursed more at Jacob and you were fed up.
You stood up and walked right out the door not even looking back to see if it was closed. You walked fast toward the beach  and tried to ignore the voice behind you.
“Y/n, Y/n wait please! I’m sorry I didn’t mean to get that upset they were just really bugging me tonight, I’m sorry come back please.” Leah shouted from the front door but it was too late. Tears were streaming down your face and you couldn’t turn back to face her. 
Inside the house, the pack sat uncomfortably as Leah walked through the door. 
“Leah, how could you let her walk away like that, don’t you see the way she looks at you everyday. Do you not realize all the things she’s done for you and sacrificed for you. She sits here everyday and listens to you bitch about Sam and Emily  but you never even ask her if she’s okay. Stop worrying about them and go find her before it's too late.”
Jacobs' words rattled inside Leahs head, she thought about all the times she cried to you about Sam and Emily and all the times you immediately dropped what you were doing just to go help her. Guilt washed over her body like a wave. A single tear danced down Leahs’ face and she raced out the door to find you.
You sat on the snow covered beach wishing you could be washed away. The wind chilled the tears that rested on your face and they soon became a memory. You wrapped your arms around your broken heart and thought about how things could be different if Leah just saw you. 
Soon you heard hefty breaths heaving behind you. Slowly but surely catching up to you.
“Hey Y/n, Uh can we please talk?” Leahs’ soft gaze wrapped around you. She sat down next to you and sighed. You both stared at the empty water. It was crisp and clean, almost giving off the impression that it was untouched by man. 
“What is there to talk about Leah,” you struck her with a cold gaze hoping that she’d understand that you weren’t very pleased to see her at the moment. Instead of returning the favor Leah grabbed your hand and stared deeply into your soul.
“I know I’m always wasting time thinking about  Sam and being hostile toward them but lately that’s the only thing I know how to do. Almost everything I’ve even known has been ripped away from me and I just don’t know how to keep going. I’m sorry for overlooking you and drowning you with my own issues but you’re all I have left. I think I spend time thinking about Sam and Emily so I don’t have to face how I feel about you. I love you and I’m scared that if I let you in you’ll let me go because you’ll see the monster that I truly am,” by now tears streaked down Leahs’ face. You looked in her eyes and saw all the pain she’d been trying to hide away. The brave, fierce Leah that you usually saw was gone. This girl was crumbling to pieces right in front of you. 
You didn’t know what to do other than kiss her. You wanted to take all the pain that rested in her heart away. You wanted to wake up twisted in the sheets with her. You wanted to see her smile and laugh at your sarcastic jokes You wanted the good, bad, and ugly. You wanted her. Always.
When you kissed her your bodies lit up in flames. It felt like every worry you ever had faded away. The world stopped just for a second and let you both have that moment. Euphoria washed over your bodies and gravity ceased to exist. 
When you opened your eyes all you could see was your forever. You loved that woman so damn much and you knew that you would spend the rest of your lives together, but your thoughts interrupted when Leah spoke softly.
“Y/n I think I just imprinted on you.”

Hi! Love all the fics you guys write :) could you guys do one where Jo and Alex were together before Alex even started his intern year? Like idk they met somehow while Jo was in college & Alex was in led school and started dating. Everyone tries to hook up with Alex but he’s got this super secret girlfriend that everyone makes fun of him for. They could still have a large age gap or they could be like a year or two apart. Basically, I just want to see Alex holding out for Jo and being super proud & showing her off when she gets into the residency program.
the one where they met in med school - part one
So... we absolutely LOVED this prompt, took it and ran with it. This originally was supposed to be a one-shot, but it kind of grew out of control and became what it is now.
This fic was written by @iamtrebleclefstories (Leya), @doc-pickles (Nina), and tumblr-less Nat
Tumblr media
                                                           ———
          ��                                            (July 2006)
“Hey! I miss you,” Jo smiled as she talked into the phone. “How was your first week as an intern?”
“Honestly? It sucked. But it was also amazing. I don’t know if that makes sense,” Alex replied, shrugging although he knew she couldn’t see him. “And for the record, I miss you more.”
“That’s impossible. You’re so busy you don’t even have time to miss me,” Jo chuckled. “Me on them other hand? My life revolves around school and studying. Studying isn’t as fun without you around. I miss our study dates.”
“I do too,” Alex sighed. He really did miss her. A lot. All the time. He’d only been living in Seattle for a month and it was definitely a challenge. He really didn’t know how he was going to make it through the next year without her. “But at least you have Lexie there. You’re not completely alone.”
“Yeah you’ve got a point,” Jo hummed. “But Lexie doesn’t do all the things for me that you do, if you know what I mean.”
Alex groaned, “Stop it. We’re way too far away from each other to do this. I need you so bad right now and I can’t have you and it sucks.”
“Tell me about it,” Jo agreed. She couldn’t believe how far they’d come. She and Alex had been together for about 2 ½ years now. In all that time, they’d been attached at the hip. He was her best friend and she was his. It was odd not seeing him everyday. It was unnatural to sleep without him beside her at night like he’d been doing for years. “I have a week-long break next month though and I was thinking of coming to visit. I’ve saved up a bunch of money from tutoring undergrads.”
“Would it be bad of me to just keep you locked up in my apartment the whole time you’re here, because that sounds appealing,” Alex’s words sparked a string of laughter from Jo, making him sigh down the line. “I miss hearing your laugh and that makes me feel pathetic. It feels like I’m in one of those stupid rom coms you and Lexie forced me to watch all the time.” “We didn’t force you, you readily agreed to it, Karev,” Lexie’s voice echoed faintly in the background, Jo shushing her as the two bickered quietly. 
“Am I on speaker?” 
“Um… maybe?” Jo shrugged, knowing that he couldn’t see her through the phone. “You can’t possibly be embarrassed. Lexie has seen and heard worse from you.”
“I sure have,” Lexie yelled out from her spot across the room. “Keep going! Don’t let me stop you from being all mushy and talking about how much you miss Jo.”
Alex rolled his eyes, “Keep your comments to yourself, let me enjoy my girlfriend for a little while please.”
“So, tell me. Did you make any friends yet?” Jo asked. 
“What is this? Middle school?” Alex scoffed. “I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to become a surgeon. A kickass, rich, plastic surgeon.”
“Yes I’m sure between the scut work and the enemas you have plenty of time to dream about all the money you’re gonna make,” Jo giggled down the line. 
“Oh, you just wait. When you’re an intern I’m going to have you doing all my scut,” Alex warned playfully. “You’ll be sorry for making fun of my career aspirations.”
“I just can’t see you going into plastics,” Jo confessed, a large grin on her face. “Not that you wouldn’t be good at it, but I just don’t see it. Maybe general or ortho!”
“General? Wow I didn’t realize you thought so little of me,” Alex leaned back onto the brick wall behind him as he listened to the sounds of Jo’s quiet laughter. 
“Hey, there’s nothing wrong with general,” Jo insisted. She groaned as she saw the time. The worst part about Alex moving across the country was the time difference. “I wish I could talk more, but I really have to get ready for bed. I will try to call you tomorrow evening.”
“I’m on-call tomorrow,” Alex revealed sadly. “I hate this. I went from going to bed next to you every night to struggling to even find some time during the day to talk.”
“I know,” Jo sighed. “I hate it, too. Of course I wish you were here, but I am so proud of you.  You’re living the dream right now, Alex. If that means I have to miss you for a little while, so be it.”
God, he really loved this woman. Alex smiled and clutched the phone tightly, “I love you. So much.”
“I love you too,” Jo answered. It still made her heart beat quickly whenever she heard him say those words. He’d been the first person to ever say them to her and mean it. “Go kick some ass.”
“I will,” Alex chuckled. “Goodnight.” 
“Goodnight.”
Alex hung up his phone and sighed as he walked back into the bar across the street from the hospital. He walked back up to the group of his fellow interns and ordered a beer, staring at his phone for a moment before finally putting it back in his pocket. 
“What’s up with you?” Yang asked. “You look all, mopey.” 
“It’s nothing,” Alex shook his head.
“No, she’s right. You look depressed,” Grey seconded. 
“I’m fine,” Alex took a swig of his beer. “I’m just a little homesick.”
“You know what will cheer you up? Getting laid. You see that girl over there,” Yang pointed to a woman across the bar with red hair and blue eyes. “She’s been eyeing you for a while now. I’m sure if you asked she’d say yes.”
“I don’t need to get laid,” Alex narrowed his eyes at her. “I’m fine.”
“No, you’re uptight. Isn’t he Stevens?” Yang asked the woman he’d identified as Dr. Model. 
“He is,” Stevens nodded, laying her hand on Alex’s shoulder. “I know we’ve only known each other for like a week, but this is the most disappointed and depressed that I’ve seen you. And that’s saying a lot, considering that we are surgical interns and basically slaves to the hospital.”
"I'm not depressed and I do not need to get laid," Alex grumbled, taking a swig of his beer. "If you must know, I was on the phone with my girlfriend."
"Evil Spawn has a girlfriend?" Cristina raised an eyebrow. "I didn't take you for a relationship type guy."
"Neither did I, but then I met her. So, just stop pestering and let me mope in peace."
"Wow. Karev has a heart," O'Malley chuckled and took a sip of his drink. "I didn't see that one coming."
“Oh screw you guys, why don’t you go get laid? Being so invested in someone else’s love life has gotta be a sign that you need to get some.”
                                                          ———
                                                   (August 2003)
“Hey! You’re Jo right?” 
Jo turned around to see a young woman with short brown hair and brown eyes smiling at her. Jo outstretched her hand, “Yes. I’m Jo. You’re Lexie, my lab partner right?”
“Yup!  It’s so nice to officially meet you,” Lexie shook Jo’s hand. 
She seemed like a sweet and perky person. The exact kind of person that Jo didn’t normally associate with. For the longest time, Jo didn’t have any friends or get attached to anyone. She had two friends the entirety of her undergrad and typically didn’t look to make any more. Jo supposed it would be nice to have someone, "It's nice to meet you, too."
                                              (September 2003)
"I can't believe you actually did that!" Jo exclaimed as she and Lexie walked down to the lab. "You became another one of Karev's conquests."
"Honestly, I don't even regret it," Lexie confessed, a large smile on her face. "There is a reason why Leah is so hung up on him. He knows what he's doing. You should go for it. Sleeping with him is like a right of passage or something."
"Ew, no way," Jo faked a gag. "He's an ass. I have much higher standards than Alex Karev."
They entered the lab to find the program's resident man-whore going over some samples. Jo had to admit, he was pretty hot. Alex Karev was cocky and charming and incredibly intelligent. He was always getting the highest grades and was every professor's favorite student. She was into him. But she'd never say it out loud.
"Hey, Lexie," Alex smirked as they walked over to their stations. He gave Jo a once over and looked at her with one of his signature crooked grins. "Hello Lexie's friend. You got a name?"
Jo considered staying quiet but finally decided to respond, "Jo Wilson."
"Nice, I like chicks with boys' names."
"Karev, " Lexie warned.
"What? I do. It's hot," Alex shrugged.
"Alex, stop sleeping with all the first years. It ruins them," Lexie admonished.
"I slept with you," Alex pointed out. 
"Yeah, and it's never going to happen again. Besides, Jo's my best friend," Lexie shrugged. "I'm protective of her."
                                                (October 2003)
“I told you I didn’t need you to follow me,” Jo grumbled. “I can take care of myself.”
"Calm down,  princess. There's no need to get your panties in a twist," Alex rolled his eyes at Jo who'd been yelling at him for the past few minutes. They'd been studying with a group of friends in the library when Jo decided to leave and Alex offered to walk her home. “I just don’t think you should be walking home alone with that fancy watch on your wrist that daddy probably gifted you. Can’t risk someone mugging the princess.” 
"Stop calling me princess!" Jo shouted, turning to face Alex as anger bubbled up inside of her. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself for a moment. "My mother left me at a fire station when I was two weeks old. I got bumped around foster homes until I was sixteen when I took matters into my own hands and started living out of a car. I parked it behind the gym of my high school so I could sneak in and use the showers before class. My home ec teacher--Ms. Schmidt--she’d let me do my laundry there for free. And yeah, I got into good schools because I worked my ass off. And when I walked across that stage at graduation, I didn’t have a cheering section filled with my richy-rich family. I had one person, Ms. Schmidt. That’s it. She’s the one who gave me this watch when I got into Med School. Her son works for the company.” 
Alex had the decency to look down at the ground ashamed. He walked up to the wall Jo was leaning against and stood beside her, “It is a nice watch.” 
“Thanks.” 
The next time they see each other, things are different. Understanding Jo’s background gave Alex a deeper appreciation for her work ethic. Even though they were in different years, Alex found himself seeking Jo out for projects and studying. Being around her made him want to be better. He wanted to excel in ways he hadn’t in the past. And that said a lot, considering he was already at the top of his class. 
So that’s why when he saw her sitting at the bar a couple weeks later, he decided to join her. They’d had an argument earlier in the day where some things were said. Alex walked up to the bar and grinned at the bartender, “A beer for me and another round for Hobo Jo. Let me guess… Thunderbird or is it straight paint thinner?” Alex looked back up at the bartender. “You got a little brown paper bag you can put that in?”
“Would you stop,” Jo sighed and looked at Alex. “I had no parents. I lived in my car. Yes I have trust issues, it comes with the territory.” 
“You need to stop acting like you’re the only person who ever had a crappy childhood,” Alex rolled his eyes slightly. 
“Oh yeah? How many foster homes did you get kicked out of before you moved into your car?” 
“Seventeen. And I didn’t live in my car. I went to juvie,” Alex took a sip of his drink. 
“Stop making fun of me,” Jo shook her head. 
“I’m not.” 
Jo’s face scrunched in interest, “Really?”
“And you’re actually lucky that your folks abandoned you. It means you didn’t have to watch your schizo mom go after your baby brother with a steak knife.” 
“Fine, fair,” Jo conceded. “But you never woke up in the middle of the night with junkies banging on your bedroom windshield, praying they’d get tired or bored before they put a rock through a window.”
“No, I didn’t,” Alex shook his head in response. “Because the junkie was my dad and he didn’t break windows, just fingers.” 
“Well, did you ever have foster parents that made you and nineteen other kids sleep on cots in the basement? Locking the doors, lights out, so that if you had to pee in the middle of the night, you had to use buckets they set up along the wall. Buckets you couldn’t see because if you turned the lights on, the bigger kids would hold you down and take those buckets and--” Jo’s voice cracked slightly.
Alex bowed his head in sadness, “God… no, never.” 
“Me neither,” Jo shrugged. “Saw it in a movie on cable.” 
Alex’s mouth twitched into a shocked grin as he let out a few chuckles, “How did you get cable in your car?”
“I don’t live in my car anymore, jerk,” Jo giggled lightly. 
Her story must’ve done the trick to break the ice because before they knew it, Jo and Alex were well on their way to becoming best of friends. They laughed and joked together for hours, even going as far as fake crying to get out of paying their tab. 
“You know, you’re not half bad, Karev,” Jo grinned as she and Alex walked out of the bar. She clutched the sides of Alex’s jacket which he had so kindly allowed her to borrow. “I actually had a lot of fun tonight.” 
“So did I, Wilson,” Alex smiled back at her. “What do you say we grab some tacos and eat them in the back of my truck?”
“Sounds great to me.”

🎰 sends u one in return hee yaw
( five random connections; accepting! )
Tumblr media
Aito & Jasper
          aito is a pretty laid-back and sociable guy, so it’d be really easy for him to get along with jasper if they were to engage in any sort of conversation with each other !! optimism and passion are some traits they both share, so it probably would just come down to finding common ground between them that they could bond over. aito has the potential to travel a lot because of work, so it wouldn’t be impossible for him to find his way to the moonlight butler cafe for ~the experience~ because who is he to pass up the chance to be served his usual coffee in a fancy ass cafe? there’s probably a chance aito and jasper could bond over the fact they can’t converse with girls for more than five minutes without something happening, because aito is just ... he’s really not made for dating, that’s for sure. 
Tumblr media
Alison & Tatsuya
          this pairing really has me like :thonk: because i feel like there’s a lot of shared ground in how tatsuya carries himself as a person, his business, and his interests and alison’s complicated situation in her post high school and early main verse settings. it’s possible tatsuya and alison cross paths at club yume since alison’s sex work experience encompasses a few things, so it wouldn’t be implausible for her to be at club yume just as part of a job where she’s keeping someone company for the night, and very leah-esque, she somehow has a run in with the boss. if ali and tatsu click, i feel like it’d be interesting if it was a matter of like, tatsuya sharing pointers on how to adapt to different social situations, which would benefit her since it’d help her with escorting. but also, ali makes good company in general so maybe tatsu ends up liking her company and just takes her along to places. just some ideas !!!   
Tumblr media
Emile & Satoru 
          oh my god lmaoooo sacchan is so chaotic and emile is so mellow; them interacting really would be emile just putting up with sacchan’s utter bullshit every minute of everyday but it wouldn’t really be like a bad thing for emile?? it’d be a lot, like it’d probably be like overwhelming at first, but satoru might actually end up helping emile live a little more and revive emile’s dying soul because lord knows office work is a drag. it might honestly be really refreshing for emile to spend time with someone like sacchan, though they probably wouldn’t click as well as leah and sacchan since emile would probably react to sacchan’s jokes like a boomer alsjdlsadlalskd
Tumblr media
Nate & Saverio
          i don’t know about this one, chief. nate’s not as cute or affectionate as leah, so saverio will surely be disappointed. he’s just ... really not pleasant ??? not as fun to hang out with unfortunately unless yall about to have a rager at the club. i will say though, saverio’s knife collection will impress nate, so all hope is not lost. most likely, i could see saverio’s more aggressive side coming out with nate, especially since nate tends to be aggressive himself when provoked ( or even when he’s not provoked, let’s be real ), so honestly, nate’s just in for a bad time with the amofam and that’s probably how they’d meet yikes 
Tumblr media
Leah & Alī
          we love leah with alī !!! we love the baby with her fatherly mom friend !!! we already know how this dynamic will go, so i’m giving you a bonus at the bottom for funsies since this paring isn’t really that random lmaoooo still, it’s a good one. alī caring for leah is very sweet even if she is always chaotic with saverio, which probably gives alī a headache, but leah is very much grateful for alī being the sensible one in amofam and she feels very safe around him uwu
Tumblr media
Grace & Yuuto
          a bonus! a bonus that makes me scratch my head, mostly because i’m not really sure how they’ll meet ( high school exchange program ...? ) in any case, i think if they do actually meet, there’s some potential since grace acts pretty mature for her age, and i think she’d enjoy befriending someone older who, even though they’re older, is still uwu enough to be approachable and fun to do things after school with. yuuto might be able to give grace advice teenagers need to hear during their teenager crises ( though, whether or not yuuto gives good advice in the first place is ??? uncertain lmao but i mean grace is smart, she’ll be fine even if he does give her bad advice lakjdksa )

Can I suggest a funny scene where all the bachelors and bachelorettes are in love with a girl farmer. They are all at the bar when Gus asks her if she has a type, they all look at each other and then at her, like if they are plotting ya know?
Ahahah I like this prompt... I’ll give it a shot :D
The Saloon was packed tonight more than ever. Gus looked over at one table to see Alex, Elliott, Harvey, Sam, Sebastian, and Shane. He then looked over at the other table to see Abigail, Haley, Leah, Maru and Penny. 
“Hey Emily-” He looked behind him where the blue haired girl would usually be and noticed she wasn’t there. He then turned around to see her delivering drinks to the girls table. After dropping off the drinks, she went up to him. 
“Hey Gus, mind if I end my shift early? The girls and I want to chat about something.” 
“Um, sure go ahead.” He told her. 
“Thanks! I’ll come in an hour early tomorrow!” She smiled as she went over to the girls table. 
Gus was a bit confused about what was happening but listened in on the two tables. He listened to what the guys were talking about first. 
“I’m telling you Shane, if it’s one thing she needs... it isn’t you! All you’d do is drink a beer and doze off the whole day.” Alex shouted.
“What was that, Jockhead? You think you’d fair any better? You’d probably annoy her with that stupid football of yours.” Shane argued. 
“Hey, come on guys... We shouldn’t argue about this.” Sam said - trying to calm the table down.
“Yeah, especially since we all know I’d fair the better chance. What girl wouldn’t want a guy who’d write her a poem everyday?” Elliott cut in.
“That’s not what I-”
“What girl would want to date some guy who sleeps in a cabin?” Sebastian snorted.
“You’re one to talk, Sebastian. You live in your parent’s basement.” Elliott smirked.
“You son of a-”
“Guys come on... Let’s all be reasonable here.” Harvey said. 
They all looked at him with raised eyebrows. He looked at the group confused. 
“Why are you even here, old man?” Alex asked.
Harvey’s eyes widened at them and he knitted his eyebrows together in anger. “I’M NOT EVEN THAT OLD!”
The guys had broken out into argument once again. Gus let out a small laugh as he turned to look over at the girls table. 
The girls rolled their eyes at the boys as they turned to each other. 
“Boys are such kids.” Haley said.
“Well said, Haley.” Emily laughed.
“Besides, if we’re talking about types then I’m obviously the best choice.” Haley smiled.
This made the table silent and caused everyone to stare over at Haley. The blonde simply looked over at them with raised brows. “What?” She asked.
“I just think it’s funny that you think you’re the best choice out of all of us.” Abigail said as she took a sip from her drink.
“Well, it’s true, isn’t it? I’ve got the looks and everything.” She told them. 
“Well... that is true but... looks aren’t everything.” Penny spoke. She may have known them for a long time but she was still a bit shy around them. 
Haley scoffed at her, “says Miss “I bury myself with books about beauty.”” 
Penny’s face turned a shade of red as she tried to hide it from the rest of them. She decided not to say anything anymore. 
“Come on, guys.” Leah spoke. “There’s no reason to-”
“At least she has a brain, Haley.” Abigail defended.
“Guys seriously... There’s no reason to fight. We’re just acting like the boys now.” Maru cut in.
They all looked at each other then at the boys who were still arguing then back at each other again and sighed.
“Yeah, you’re right, Maru.” Leah said.
“Good, so now-”
“How typical... Listening to the scientist here... Let me guess, you calculated a probability of how much of a chance you actually have?” Haley interrupted.
“Well, I uh... I mean... I have like a higher chance of actually being a better candidate.” 
The girls all looked at each and broke out into argues again.
Gus looked at both tables with concern and confusion. Just who and what were they even arguing about? He wasn’t sure whether to stop both tables from arguing or just kick them out. Before he could actually do anything about it, someone familiar had walked in. It was the farmer. 
And just like that... Both tables had quieted down and looked over at the farmer who walked into the saloon. She made her way to the bar and sat down on one of the chairs in front of Gus. He greeted her as he prepared her usual drink and set it down in front of her.
“Rough day?” Gus asked.
The farmer laughed, “you can say that.”
Both tables watched Gus and the farmer talked with each other about what happened today. Gus noticed the stares from both tables and smirked to himself. “So lemme ask you something.” He said as he placed her usual order down in front of her.
“Go for it.” She said as she took a bite from her food.
“You’ve been here a long time now. You’ve talked with all of the townsfolk and gotten to know some people.” He continued.
“Yeah?” The farmer said as she took another bite from her food.
“I’m just curious as to why you haven’t... settled down yet. What’s your type?” He asked.
This caused both tables to stop what they were doing and listen in on the farmer. If they knew what her type was, then one of them would definitely have a chance with her no doubt about it. 
“Hm... I guess I like... the closed type of person... y’know?”
This made Sebastian, Shane, and Penny smile. They were closed people and they knew they had a chance.
“But also someone who is open about their feelings at times.” 
Sam, Elliott, Leah, and Emily smiled at that. They were definitely open about their feelings.
“So, looks don’t really matter to you?” Gus asked.
“Hm, more or less. If they’re cute then yeah. I’d go for them.”
Haley smiled at that as she fluffed her hair a few times and checked herself in her pocket mirror. Elliot simply smirked to himself as he brushed his hair back.
“But y’know, I’d rather kick back with someone who will have fun with me from time to time.” Alex and Abigail had big smiles on their faces. They were fun people - they had a chance.
“At the same time, I need someone intelligent... an intellectual, y’know?” The farmer smiled.
Harvey brushed his mustache as Maru felt herself smile at that. The table all looked at each other and exchanged a few smirks here and there. All of them knew they had a fair chance with the farmer. It only depended on who the farmer actually picked now.
“Hm, you find anyone like that here? Anyone catch your eye?” Gus asked.
This was it. Both tables listened in on the farmer as they awaited for her answer.
The farmer took one final sip from her drink and set it down on the table as she wiped her mouth with a napkin. “I’ll let you know when I actually find someone like that.” She smiled. “See ya, Gus.” And with that, she left the Saloon leaving both tables in shock and disappointment.
I tried... LOL I hope this was okay

Theatre Highlights 2019
My Top 11 Theatre Highlights and Moments of 2019 (in no particular order other than roughly chronological.)
Let's get stuck in!
Panto at the Palladium
So my first theatre trip of the year saw me head off to Panto land at the Palladium to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was great to see Danielle Hope on stage again and she was the perfect Snow White. Massive shoutout to Simeon Dyer who was ace as one of the Dwarfs in the show, it’s not everyday you get to see your pal on stage in their West End Debut, he did a brilliant job. The Palladium always delivers fantastic Pantos and I’m excited to see what their next one is!
Book Of Mormon
So Book Of Mormon was again one of those shows I wasn’t rushing to see, that is until Luke George went into the company. I had heard a lot of things about it and I was worried as I had been told if you get easily offended that I wouldn’t like it. I saw it and loved it. It was nuts and very tongue in cheek humour. Turn It Off is one of my favourite numbers in the show, the company are fantastic in it! Tom Xander as Elder Cunningham is pure magic. No other way I can describe his performance. He’s so cheeky and mischievous, the PERFECT Cunningham. Paired with Dom Simpson as Elder Price they are a dream team. You and Me (but mostly me) is such a joy to watch. It was also so lovely to watch Luke and see him on stage again. He is as brilliant as ever!! The Book of Mormon is playing at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London’s West End and it’s also on tour too!!!
Cursed Child - Year Three
I think I said this in last years post but Cursed Child combines two of my biggest loves Harry Potter and Theatre. The Year Three company were exceptional and I saw a huge array of covers. Martin Johnson, Danny Dalton, April Hughes, Jordan Bamford, Leah Haile and Susan Lawson Reynolds. I can remember all the shows when I got to see them and the little details of their performances. Also as #KeepTheSecrets is over I’m gonna talk about April as Delphi. I ADORE April as Delphi. Like hands down my favourite interpretation of the role. Delphi is so sweet and then BAMN. That switch is flicked and her true intentions come out but even then April brought such a warmth to her that I found myself really sympathising with Delphi. She’s just a very misunderstood character and I just wanted to give her a hug. On the other side April’s interpretation of Myrtle is ICONIC!!! That giggle she does in the moment after Scorpius ask if everything’s going to be okay? And Albus replies going of course it is. Pure brilliance!! Also I have to mention the fact I FINALLY got to see James McGregor as Draco. It happened gang. I don’t know how I managed to get to see him three times, still blows my mind as I was worried I wouldn’t get to see him once but I did. It actually happened. ‘Twas beyond brilliant in every sense of the word and well worth the wait, exceptional performances!
Shitfaced Shakespeare
Another fantastic season for those boozey Bard loving beans! The Taming of the Shrew and Hamlet in London and Midsummer Nights Dream on tour. It’s always a joy to see them perform on stage. For those of you who read last years Highlights I can confirm that I broke the curse. I got to see Saul Marron Compère THREE times!!! He also was the drinker for the show of Midsummer I saw in my hometown on the tour. It was lovely to revisit my first show I saw them do, plenty of laughs and so much fun! Bring on next season for more Shakespeare, laughs and most importantly - booze! 😜 haha
Venice Preserved/The Provoked Wife
Now my theatre highlights wouldn’t be complete without me seeing a show Natalie Dew was in. This year I got to see her in Venice Preserved and The Provoked Wife both at the RSC in Shakespeare land (Stratford Upon Avon). Both shows were absolutely fantastic and I gotta mention Sarah Twombly who really stood out in The Provoked Wife as Mademoiselle, stunning performance! I adored Venice Preserved so much I saw it twice! It was gritty, edgy and the whole production value was fantastic! It was also so good to see Nat in such a different role, it’s not everyday you get to see your stagey fav play a dominatrix. She was so badass, strong and the moment at the end of the play with the look the gave another character, I’m getting chills just thinking about it. Perfection!
Edinburgh Fringe
Each year my trip to Ed Fringe just gets better and better and this year was no different. I managed two trips this year and saw a whole host of different shows which were all incredible and I got meet some lovely people, both leafleting and chatting to a few of the actors before the show. I’ll leave a link to my Ed Fringe post so if anyone wants to check out what I saw give it a read - here. Massive shoutout to the Bodily Functions gang as they were super lovely, Friendsical cast, David Colvin was so lovely too, the Shitfaced Shakespeare and Showtime lot. I could go on. But I’m buzzing to see what Ed Fringe 2020 will bring!
The Indian Queen
When in France, go to the Opera? So this still links with theatre but I want to talk about Pierrefonds, it’s my blog so I can do what I want 😜. Firstly BIG shoutout to my friend Sej, the only person mad enough to agree to go to France with me to visit a castle and to see an Opera. So firstly Pierrefonds. I still can’t believe I got to visit the castle where they filmed Merlin. It’s been on my Bucket list for many years now so thrilled I finally got to tick it off. It’s a gorgeous place in the cutest little village ever, genuinely would move there if there was more theatre. 100% will be going back again and would recommend to anyone about going. I had a great time! The other part of my trip saw me go and watch my very first Opera, The Indian Queen! The Opera House in Lille is stunning, so so beautiful. Now I can’t comment on what happened at the beginning as I was raging at the subtitles being in French, it wasn’t until it was 10/15 minutes in that I realised it was all sung and spoken in English. (yep. I am that dumb and yes it took me that long 🙈) I loved how they had the screens move around in the background with the opera on. It had been prefilmed and all the actors were in costume whereas the actors were all in blacks performing it in front of the screens live. As a first venture into the world of Opera, wasn’t what I was expecting at all but I really loved it. It was also so great to see James McGregor on stage again too!! He’s very good!!
Fiddler On The Roof
Wow. Just wow. I was completely blown away by Fiddler On The Roof, the set was gorgeous and how the company went through the auditorium felt so natural. You really felt like you were in Anatevka and part of the community. The whole company were phenomenal!! Andy Nyman as Tevye delivered one of the best performances I have ever seen from any West End Lead. His vocals and comic timing were on point!!! Maria Friedman as Golde played really well opposite Andy’s Tevye, they are a formidable duo. I’m so happy I was able to see them on together. Molly Osbourne as Tzietel and Joshua Gannon as Motel really stood out, stunning performances. Hands down the best show I saw this year without a doubt and I wish I could go back in time and relive it!!
Mary Poppins
Now Mary Poppins is so very dear to me. The movie is an absolute classic, a timeless piece but I had never seen it live on stage before. I had my tickets booked since January when they went on sale and it did not disappoint when I finally got to see it in November. Charlie Stemp was a brilliantly charming Bert and Zizi Strallen was, excuse the pun, ‘Practically Perfect in every way’ as Mary. I sobbed my way through the show and when Zizi flew up over the audience at the end of the show I was in bits. The best way I can describe it is when you love something so much and your just full of nostalgia and emotion and that’s how it came out. Step In Time, Feed The Birds And Practically Perfect were all highlights for me. I have so much love for the whole company for delivering a phenomenal show and I can’t WAIT to return to Cherry Tree Lane once again next year. Although hopefully I will be able to get through the show without crying next time. Haha. Mary Poppins is currently playing at The Prince Edward Theatre in London’s West End.
Dear Evan Hansen
Now I had to be the only person in theatreland who wasn’t rushing to get tickets or proper hyped for it. It was one of those shows for me which I was like - I’ll see it eventually but I’ll let the rush of people pass and I’ll go when it’s all died down. Then the cast got announced and I was okay. I need to see it and I need to see it in previews as I need to see Rupert Young on stage again. Thankfully one of my best friends Johanna was desperate to see it when she was over in November and she managed to sort us tickets. (Thanks Chummy. You’re the best. Love you) It generally was such a phenomenal experience, the audience was so quiet and the only sounds you could hear were the quiet sniffs of people crying. You could hear a pin drop and I don’t believe I will ever experience anything like that ever again. That’s great Anne but why has it made it into your highlights? Don’t worry. I’m getting to that gang 😜 haha. The whole cast were phenomenal. Sam Tutty was flawless as Evan, I connected immediately with him. I was sold and invested from the beginning. The fact there is only 8 people on stage for the whole show blows my mind. Like WHAT?! Outstanding performances from all. In particular Mr Rupert Young as Larry. Now the only thing I knew about the show was that You Will Be Found closes the first act. That’s all I knew, didn’t read up on it or listen to the soundtrack before hand. I went in completely blind! Now You Will Be Found starts and I can hear people crying and I’m sat there thinking. This is great. I haven’t cried at this. Brilliant. The thing which broke me and had me sobbing was when Rupert Young broke down and cried during You Will Be Found. That is what got me and I can relate so much to it. How I view it is that Larry has delayed grief and that happened to me personally so it really struck a chord with me. I’m basically a convert and this is a piece of theatre everyone needs to see and I can see it running for a very long time in London. Dear Evan Hansen is playing at the Noel Coward Theatre in London’s West End and if you haven’t already, GO BUY A TICKET!!
Rage But Hope
I was very lucky to be able to catch this show at Ed Fringe this year so I was thrilled I was able to make it in to see it again during its London run in November. I stand by everything I said before and it was fantastic to see the development of the piece, which is a current and important issue we all should focus on. The whole company delivers stunning performances and I adored the addition of Matt’s characters monologue. I felt it tied together what he said in a conversation with James earlier in the piece and it gave much more depth to his character. The Layla’s List monologue remained one of my favourite moments in the play and goes to show the importance younger generations have and that they are far wiser than their years suggest so not to under estimate them. Let’s preserve this world for many more generations to come. The writing is stunning and hats off to Stephanie Martin for an incredibly well written play. The scene at the end of the play was new for the London run and I felt it really hammered home the message. Tell the truth. Act Now!
So that pretty much wraps up 2019’s Theatre and what a year it was.
2020 - a New Year, a New Decade and I can confirm a lot more Theatre adventures.
Thanks for reading, make sure to come back next year for my 8th Theatre Highlights (that is MAD!!) to find out what I got up to!
Until next time, cheerio!

Book Nr. 1
So I'm basically spoiling a book? Idk. I'll also be giving my opinions at the end so enjoy!
Title: When We Collided by Emery Lord
There is a girl called Vivi who spends her summer at this place called Verona Cove located in California. She works at an art shop where she one days meets a boy called Jonah and his sister called Leah. The siblings have recently lost their father and their mother has fallen in this depressive state where she can't leave the bed so him and his two older siblings have to take care of their younger brother and sisters.
Leah invites Vivi over to their house for dinner after having a conversation about her being more creative than Jonah and how the best place to eat was at their house. Basically that's when the story really starts. After that night Vivi and the Daniel's (Jonah's surname) family hang out almost everyday. Vivi then finds out about her dad who left them and she decides to pay him a visit.
She forces Jonah to come with her and...let's just say it doesn't go very well. Later in the story she buys a turquoise motorcycle and Vivi gets into a crash and she of course goes to the hospital.
Now let's talk about the ending because that's by far the saddest ending I've ever read. Vivi leaves Verona Cove to move back to Seattle and Jonah is disappointed.
One day Jonah wants to say goodbye to her by meeting up at the park but doesn't see her there. Instead he finds a note from Vivi and goes to the restaurant that he owns and finds a painting on the patio wall. It was a family painting of the his family which Vivi called 'How We Say Goodbye'. She paintes them as sailboats with one sailboat illustrated as their dad sailing away from the other sailboats which are at the dock. Of course the author had to end it with this paragraph which I will show you in the end.
MY OPINION:
An amazing and very sad book that literally left me in tears. The book also contains mature content including self-harm, depression, mild s*x scenes and more. Over all I would give this book a solid 5/5.
Photos!

I Was Born To Love You- Part Eight
I cried writing the last part. So emotional! I know my warnings in the very very beginning had a miscarriage but I fell in love with the baby and Leah, I couldn't. I have another idea for bringing in a tragedy, however. Also forgive my amateur smut writing. I didn't want it to be filthy, but I had to get the point across. Thanks!!
Summary: the first encounter with the baby and their friends, figuring out something sad about the baby, as well as some cutesy moments with Ben and Leah.
Warning: Steamy stuff, but no sex, language
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My son was finally in my arms, having his first meal. The love of my life. "I'm going to get the guys, I'll be back." Ben said. I nodded, not taking my eyes off of him. He was so perfect, but he hasn't open his eyes yet. I couldn't wait to see them. I could only hope he has my blue eyes. I looked up to see our friends walking into my bedroom. Lucy looked at me with a wide smile. "Hello, beautiful, welcome to the world!" She said quietly. "What's the name?" Joe asked. I looked at Brian and Roger. "His name is Nathaniel Brian Roger. Named after the three most important men I've known in my lifetime." I said. They touched their hearts and bowed in respect. "That's a perfect name for a perfect little jelly bean," She said, rubbing Nathaniel's face. Rami looked at her in complete love. I smiled at the two of them. "Luce, wanna hold him?" I asked, taking my nipple out of his mouth, covering it with a blanket. She nodded as I handed him to her.
I smiled at the group of men surrounding her, all cooing at little Nathaniel. Ben grabbed my hand, kneeling besides me. He cupped my face as we kissed. We heard the group slightly gasp. We looked over and they were all smiling. "His eyes, Leah, they're so bright green. They're almost emerald." Lucy said. He had Austin's eyes. Great. I looked down in disappointment. "Hey, your son is yours. All yours. Not his." Ben whispered to me. I nodded. "Ours," I corrected him. He smiled, kissing my hand. "Mind if I borrow him? I just need to check his sight now that his eyes are open and check his hearing." Amanda said. "Oh absolutely," Lucy said, handing him over. She left the room with him into the living room.
She walked back in about a half an hour later still holding him, but was extremely sad. We had been talking about the birth and what it was like for me, when she started speaking. "May I please talk to the parents alone?" She said. Something was wrong. Oh no. Everyone left the room, as she handed him back to me. "I'm no professional, if we were in a hospital I'd have sent him to doctors to double check, but Leah, your son may be deaf." My heart stopped. Deaf? How could he be deaf? My heart sank as I looked at him. I started to cry. "So, he can't hear me?" I said. He stared blankly at me. "I'm afraid not." She replied.
~~~6 months later~~~
It was Nate's half birthday. Over the course of these last few months, Ben and I decided to get married. He just asked me last week. We were going to raise Nathaniel as our own. Ben wants to be his father, and he's truly amazing with him. We decided, when he was old enough to understand, we would tell him about Austin. The movie had finally wrapped up, and now Ben is home everyday, waking me up to a home cooked breakfast, and waking up at 2 A.M. to take care of the baby and only waking me up when he's hungry. Ben and I took four sign language classes a week. We started to prepare him by teaching him things like "Mummy" and "daddy". He was too young and too small for hearing aids, but he could feels the vibrations of our voices in our chests or the piano if he's right next to it.
Because we decided to be those parents, we wanted to throw him a half birthday party. I was almost done setting up the party for tonight when I heard Ben playing the piano. He was singing the beginning of Bohemian Rhapsody. What made my heart flutter was the sight of my baby in his lap, smiling up at him. He stopped at the end of the phrase 'I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all,'. "Let's go see if Mummy needs any help." He signed "mummy". I smiled at him. "Yes! That's right peanut!" He got off of the bench and smiled at the sight of me. "I didn't know you sang," I said, pulling him into a kiss. "I'm full of surprises." He said. "Oh yeah?" I replied, taking Nate from him. "How's my boy? Hungry?" I said, signing the word 'food'. He responded with 'food'. I smiled at him. "I finished with the cake, can you vacuum the living room? The dogs got on the couch again," I said. He nodded his head, pressing a kiss on my forehead. I took Nate to our bed room to breast feed. The party didn't start for another few hours, so I'm hoping to get him to nap before it starts so he will be up. This wasn't a 'present giving' type of party, just something to show how far he's come. I sat down, holding him to my chest and he ate, thinking about things. How hard it was when I found out I was pregnant with him, how great Ben was from the time I met him, and how hard it's been to raise a deaf child. And he's not even one. I couldn't help but to shed a tear.
My tears were short, as I felt him slow down, falling asleep. I pulled him away and lifted my shirt as I took him to his room to lay him down. I got on my knees, and watched him sleep. It was unbelievable how much I loved him. "He looks just like you, minus the eyes." I heard Ben say. He came up from behind me, rubbing my shoulders slightly. "I want one with you," I said, still looking at Nate, rubbing his hands in return. "Our time will come, my love. Let's get through his first birthday and our wedding and we can talk more about it. I don't want any more stress added onto you." After lots of thinking, I couldn't help but to slightly laugh, which made him laugh. "What's so funny?" He said. "Well, we've been together for a while, we're raising a kid, we're getting married, and we've never had sex." I said. He laughed at that too. I stood up, leaving the room as Ben closed the door quietly behind him. "Is that a problem?" He asked, pulling me in to his arms. "I guess not, just kind of weird. Our life is happening in a weird order." I said into his chest. He smelled so comforting. "Well whenever you feel ready, we can." He said. I smiled up at him. "What if I am?" I said. He kissed me. "Then I say we've got two hours and a sleeping baby, and a bed room across the house." He said, making me giggle. We started to kiss, as we made our way to the room.
He grabbed the stereo remote from behind me, turning it on. The song "Too Much Love Will Kill You" by Queen came on. The thought that this was our first time made me giggle again, making him laugh. "I love you so much. I love you and that precious life across the house. More than anything." He said, looking into my eyes. I smiled. "I love you, too. We both do. I'm so glad that I found you. I want you, now and forever," I said. "But I'll save that talk for my vows. For now, take your shirt off." I'll admit, I was eager. I've seen him shirtless- and damn did he look good. He laughed, following so. He took it off, and I grazed his chest and abs with my hand. I felt like I was basically drooling, when he grabbed my hand. "Your turn," He said. I smiled at him, slowly unbuttoning the baby vomit covered button up. Not the sexiest I guess. But I'm a mom, he should expect this.
He pulled me into another, deeper, kiss. He wrapped his arms around me, while undoing my bra. As of our minds were in sync, I jumped at the same time he pulled me up, wrapping my legs around him. He walked us over to the bed, and laid me down on it as he started kissing down my neck. This felt so normal, it was so nice. But, of course, was ruined when someone was knocking at my door. I threw on a t-shirt and angrily walked to the door. I could hear Ben chuckling behind me. Once I opened the door, my heart sank.
Austin.
