𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 : When Ben comes across Crimson Countess he also runs into the man that released him from the vault back in Russia. He proposes a deal which Ben has to think about, but Butcher has some information that peeks his interest. Your whereabouts.
𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 : spoilers to the show (Ben’s encounter with Crimson Countess), a little bit of a steamy moment. I think that’s it?
Tumblr media
After his encounter with The Legend, Ben knew that his first stop would have to be Crimson Countess. But there was one more piece of information he needed to gather.
He needed to know where you were and he needed to figure out how the Hell he was going to get to you. You were his top priority and he had a feeling Countess would know where to look. He didn’t know if that feeling was right, but it had to be worth some sort of shot.
Soon enough, Ben made it to the shitty little trailer that Countess lived in, but before he could make an advance on the little building, he was confronted. He saw this man’s face before, but from where. But then it clicked and he recognized him.
“You’re the asshole from the lab.”
“That’s right. I’m the one that managed to get you out. If you don’t mind, I’d like to have a word.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah. I know you want Countess dead. Don’t worry, Mate, I’m not here to stop ya. She’s right in the trailer for the taking. It can sort of be considered a uh.. a gesture of good faith.” The man said. Ben lifted a brow.
This man meant to tell Ben that he allowed Countess to live just so he could kill her? What the hell was this man trying to get him wrapped up into?
“Good faith for what?”
“Well, I was thinking that you and I could come up to what one would call a… well a team up of sorts.”
“You want me? To team up with you?”
The burly looking man smirked before he reached into his pocket before pulling out a little piece of paper, “We know Countess isn’t the end goal for you.”
Ben didn’t like the sound of this. But he wasn’t about to stand by and take orders from some rookie that thinks he can be won over by Countess’ life being saved.
“Oh yeah, and what do you think my end goal is supposed to be, hmm?”
“A certain retired supe named Quake.” Ben’s jaw tightened for a moment and was about ready to tear this stranger limb from limb if he dared to make a threat against you.
“Now don’t get the wrong idea, Mate. I’m not here to make any threats against you or your little Harlot. This is just another gesture of mine after you take down Countess in there.”
Ben looked at the sheet the man was holding in his hand and he started to think before he spoke again, “I’ve got my own mission, Buddy.”
“Oh we understand. The details can be discussed a bit later, but we need a um… a favor I suppose you could say.”
“Let me handle Countess before I take any favors from the likes of you. If I want that address badly enough, I have my own ways of getting it without having to owe anyone any damned favors.” The man walked over to him anyway before he just handed the paper over.
“Just take the damned paper, Mate. Make your life a little easier. Go in there, do what you need to do, and I’ll even give you a ride to Quake myself.”
Ben thought about it before he reluctantly took the piece of paper from the man he would later learn was named Butcher. He put it into the pocket he had in his uniform pants before he started walking up to Countess’ door.
He has waited so long for this little ‘reunion’ of sorts.
When he walked in, he noticed that his ex girlfriend was bound to a chair. So that was what the man meant by a gesture. They did all the hard work and she sat there so helplessly for him. They were really trying to suck up to him for this little favor they wanted, huh?
“Ben? Is that you?”
Ugh, even her voice made his stomach churn with so many regrets. At one point he even hated to say that he loved her before you came into the picture.
As he stepped further into the light she spoke again, “You look so young.”
“Yeah well.. you don’t.”
Ben could see the fear in the woman’s eyes and oddly enough, it was exhilarating to know that she was fully aware of her mistake. She genuinely thought the Russians could have killed him, “I’m so, so sorry..”
Ben tilted his head as he watched her practically tremble with fear in her seat, “This wasn’t my idea. You have to believe me.”
“How much did the Russians pay you, Sweetheart? Hmm?” The moment she looked away and revealed that they didn’t pay her was crushing oddly enough.
“They didn’t pay you anything? At all?” Still, no eye contact was made as Ben continued to stare at her.
“To think.. at some point I loved you.” He began.
“I know you and I had our ups and downs, but I still held onto the hope that while they tortured me, burned me, injected poison into me that somehow you would be the one that would come and find me again. You were the one I trusted most on the team.”
Then, Countess finally looked back up at Ben and she had this spiteful look in her gaze.
“Love? I didn’t love you. I hated you.” She seethed, leaning forward into her chair,
“Every last one of us hated you. What kind of a woman would love a monster like you?”
The hand that wasn’t holding Ben’s shield tightened into a fist. So that was the true feelings Countess had. There wasn’t even a sibling sort of love or any sense of camaraderie to give them a bond over the years? Everything they had truly meant nothing?
Ben’s eyes darkened and he felt that familiar burning in his chest once more. It was a little less intense then before, but he watched Countess’ eyes widen and she leaned back into the chair as she tried to brace herself. But he was sure nothing could have braced her for a death quite like this.
He released the energy that was building up within him and a blast escaped his chest. Several seconds went by and the light from the energy blast finally dissipated. When he looked in the spot where his former girlfriend sat, he saw nothing but a burnt skeleton in her place. Her home was completely destroyed in the process but of course, it didn’t exactly matter to him.
When he stepped off the remnants of the trailer, he saw some blonde chick staring at him and her eyes started glowing yellow before some lanky looking kid stepped in front of her. He could tell they were starting to have a discussion, and since it didn’t involve him Ben decided to walk away and start his own journey.
As Ben walked, he pulled out the sheet of paper and saw your address. Apparently it’s changed since the last time he saw you. All he knew was that he was one step closer to seeing you again.
“So, Mate. What do you say about that team up?” The man with the accent said and he turned around and stared at him.
“You take me to this address so I know this is really where she is. Then I’ll think about that little favor of yours as far as putting it on my agenda.” Ben said, and luckily for him the two men that were deciding to follow him around for whatever reason knew that this wasn’t up for a negotiation.
Whatever they wanted, they must’ve needed him pretty badly to make sure whatever they were going after gets accomplished.
“Of course. We’ll take you there now. It’s a couple of hours from here though so you’ll be in a cramped car for a while.” The lanky one finally spoke. What did this little kid have anything to do with this?
After a few hours, they pulled up several yards away from some sort of cabin. So this was where you decided to stay? Some cabin in the woods? He supposed it was private enough after all.
While Ben looked out of the window towards the building, he heard Butcher turning in his seat. Ben glanced over and saw that Butcher was handing him yet another sheet of paper. this time it had a phone number on it.
“Take the night to think on it, catch up with that little friend of yours now that you know she’s inside, and call us in the morning.” Ben lifted a brow and took the sheet of paper before he got out of the car. Butcher and Hughie - evidently that was the name of the scrawny kid - backed out and drove off, leaving Ben there.
He started to walk up to your cabin, his heart pounding in his chest and he could even hear it. This felt so surreal and he wasn’t even sure he could knock on the door incase it was just some kind of dream.
As he got closer, Ben realized that you didn’t have any lights on in the house. He carefully walked up to a window and took a look inside. When he did, he caught a glimpse of your little office area. You had a library, he supposed reading could be a good pastime for retirement even if he wasn’t a big reader himself. But what caught his attention was a chest that was sitting beneath your desk.
He could see the top of the chest was open and there were a shit ton of envelopes inside. Who the hell were you supposed to be pen pals with all of this time and who had the time to write like that? He couldn’t be more curious if he tried.
Ben bit his lip as the wheels started turning in his mind as he tried to think of a way to sneak into this room. He reached into his boot and picked up a pocket knife and started to slide it into the window, his attempt to unlock it and let himself in that way. To his surprise, Ben was successful and he opened up the window before proceeding to let himself in. Then he shut the window quietly once more.
When he walked over to the desk and pulled out the chest and set it on top of the desk, he got a closer look at the names on the envelopes. He turned on the lamp on your desk so he could see a bit better and he noticed that every last one of them had his name on them.
“She wrote letters?” He asked himself, mostly in a hushed tone. Then he noticed the fact that each envelope had been dated from 1984 to just this morning.
He took one of the letters and noticed the date as September 19, 2001. One of his birthdays over the years. As he opened it up, he saw your beautiful handwriting and he smiled to himself as he began to read.
Happy birthday my Ben!
Today would be your 82nd birthday. I know I’m not that far behind you. We’re both a couple of oldies, huh? It’s crazy how much times have changed here and I wish I could hear your thoughts on it.
I know for sure you would be opinionated on the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon couple of days ago. I know you would want to be one of the first ones there to set the terrorists straight. Honestly I think you would hate what this world has come to anyway. You missed out on the Y2K movement at the turn of the millennium. Technology is really advancing and it’s honestly really scary. And we thought Vought’s tech was getting out of hand. People even have little computers they can take into their homes now, phones aren’t attached to the walls anymore like what we had growing up. People can carry their phones in their pockets now. That’s crazy to me!
I miss you so much, Ben. It never gets easier celebrating your birthday since everyone thinks your dead. I know that I should to, but I can’t for whatever reason. There’s a lot of conspiracy theorists that think you’re alive but those are few and far between. Unfortunately not a lot of them know who you are anymore. We have a new generation of supe fans and the old school supes are either dying off or they’re retiring and getting forgotten. The only supe you may recognize that’s active on the field would probably be Black Noir.
But anyway.. Not much is really happening. I’m watching a couple of your old movies today before I might go grocery shopping. Maybe I’ll pick up a few more envelopes. I’m running low on some supplies for these silly letters.
I love you, Ben. You’ll always have my heart.
Your Y/N.
Ben couldn’t help but feel this warmth in his heart, and it wasn’t one of those energy blasts getting ready. He folded up the piece of paper and put it back into the envelope and looked through some more of the envelopes.
Then he pulled another one out, this one was dated for January 19, 2020.
Well, Ben, I think human society will be coming to an end soon.
No it’s not the reason one would think. Apparently this virus called Covid has hit the country and everyone is supposed to be quarantined. It’s not that big of a deal for me because I’m alone anyways. But I was doing some online shopping to stock up on some things and I found out that stores are selling out of toilet paper of all things!
People get too hysterical. But maybe I shouldn’t talk too much about that since I’m a supe and don’t have the luxury of suffering from a virus like that. The people without our abilities and immune systems are suffering a lot though. It’s kind of hard to see the decline of everything.
It’s moments like this where I’m sort of glad that you’re not here to witness this madness. I really hope things will get better though. I don’t know if it will. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
Y/N
There was even a virus? How bad was that? From what you said in your letter, it sounded like a national problem, maybe even global. Times really had changed a lot and he couldn’t believe just how much he had missed. All of this information just from reading two of your letters.
Honestly, he was glad you wrote these letters. It gave him something he could use to catch up on a lot of things that have happened over these past few decades. What made it even better was that it was from your own point of view. And if he could, Ben would spend all night reading each one of your letters.
It was so thoughtful to know that you did this. That you didn’t give up hope on him and that you would write to him as if he were still there able to read every word.
Just as Ben was about to grab another letter to read, he heard footsteps coming down from the hall and then there was the sound of a switch. When he looked over he saw that there was a hall light on and saw the most beautiful woman in the world standing in the doorway.
You looked just as beautiful as the day he left you for Nicaragua. It was like you hadn’t aged a single day either.
You were standing there in your grey ish silk robe that reached down to the floor. Around your neck he recognized the chain of the necklace he gave you all those years ago. He was amazed that you still wore it around your beautiful little neck. Your hair framed your face perfectly, as if you hadn’t even gone to sleep just yet.
He could see the disbelief in your eyes as he carefully took a step forward towards you.
You stood there completely stunned. You thought you had heard a noise a few minutes ago as you were getting ready to try and sleep but the feeling was too unsettling. You were glad you had gotten out of bed and walked down the hall because when you noticed the light in your office was turned on, you were shocked at who was in front of you.
You swore that your eyes were deceiving you. This had to be some sort of dream. But you don’t remember actually being able to fall asleep that night. But what you believed you were seeing was Ben, alive and well and in his uniform. He looked like he hadn’t aged a day, much like you hadn’t aged.
“Ben? Is… Is that you?” You breathed out as he started to walk towards you.
“It’s really me, Sweetheart.”
Hearing his voice again made your eyes well up with tears. After so many years you never knew when you would possibly be able to hear his voice or even see him again, but Ben was really there standing in front of you! You could hardly believe it!
You ran into his arms and he lifted you up effortlessly and spun you around. Your arms were wrapped around his neck and you buried your face in his neck. His hands were beneath your thighs as he wrapped your legs around his waist to keep you steady but he was able to use one hand to cradle the back of your head. You must’ve been trembling since he started to mutter sweet nothings in your ear.
“It’s really me, Love. I’m not leaving like that ever again. Not for Vought, not for anyone.” He reassured you, but you didn’t really care about that right now. You were too caught up in enjoying his embrace.
You slowly pulled away from his neck so you could get a better look at him. Gently moving a strand of hair away from his face, you admired every little feature of his face. You thought you would never be able to see him again or be this close to him again. As you moved one of your arms to place a hand on his bearded face, you leaned in and gently smashed your lips against his. You hadn’t realized just how many emotions you were holding in at the moment as you felt warm tears streaming down your cheeks. Tears of joy, happiness, so much relief, confusion, and other emotions that you couldn’t exactly describe in that moment.
Ben kissed you back instantly and he could feel one of your hands going to the back of his neck and your fingernails found the bottom of his scalp, the gentle scratch as you ran your fingers through his hair caused a chill shoot through his spine as the kiss started to grow more heated and passionate. He’s longed for this closeness for so long, even before he was shipped out of the country. He’s missed you and everything about you.
The moment your lips parted, Ben instantly wanted more of your kisses but you started to speak again.
“Where’ve you been all this time? How did you make it back?” You asked breathlessly as Ben lifted a hand to wipe the tears from your face.
“I’ll tell you all about it later. I had some business to take care of before I was able to see you.”
“What business was that?”
“Countess…” He trailed off, making you lift a brow. “Originally when I was supposed to come back with the others I was going to break things off with her. Granted it’s several years later but I still needed to have a conversation with her.”
The expression on your face told Ben you must’ve been a little skeptical about the ‘how’ everything transpired and maybe she speculated he had more than just a conversation to end things. But he could always tell you later.
“I promise… I’ll answer any questions you have later. The important thing is, I’m back and I’m here with you again and Countess is permanently out of the picture.” That beautiful smile you had returned on your face and Ben leaned down to kiss you again but you pulled away, confusing Soldier Boy.
“Set me down.” You whispered and got out of his grasp. Then you took his hand, intertwining your fingers with his before Ben realized he was following you through the house and he made it to your bedroom.
Once he was in the room you shut the door and Ben looked down at you. The next thing he knew, Ben was sitting down on the edge of your mattress and he watched you took off your robe. You were wearing just a regular set of pajamas, a loose fitting black silk tank top and some matching shorts to go with it but you were still so unbelievably gorgeous.
He took your hand he gently pulled you close and you sat down, straddling his lap. He could feel your delicate hands on his chest and he lifted a hand to touch your sweet face, letting his thumb gently caress your bottom lip. He could feel how warm your cheeks got at such a simple action, and he lied the way you seemed to react to his touch. Then, Ben leaned in to kiss you once more.
The warmth of his lips sent a fire inside of you as Ben continued to deepen the kiss. You could feel his tongue over your mouth and you parted your lips for him. An involuntary little noise escaped you from his kiss. You started to feel a little light headed with the way he seemed to consume you in the moment.
But the moment Ben parted your lips, he lifted you up and turned the both of you around so you were on your back. The actions caused you to let out a giggle. You didn’t know why you laughed, maybe it was because both of you were eager, maybe it was still the fact that everything was still so surreal for you. Ben didn’t seem to mind the laughter because he was smiling at you when you looked up at him.
You reached up and pulled him down for another kiss and he placed a soft kiss on your lips before he started letting his lips work their way down your neck. You could feel his beard tickling your sensitive skin but you didn’t mind. You closed your eyes and relished in the feeling of his touch as you let your hand go to the back of his head, fingers getting tangled in his hair.
Ben smiled against your skin when he felt your hands in his hair again. He reached down and moved one of your thighs and you instinctively hooked it around his waist as he settled between your legs. Then he let his hand run up your thighs, loving how soft your skin felt beneath his fingertips. He could feel the way your body seemed to grow hot with his touch and he loved it.
But just as things were starting to get good, things were interrupted.
Both you and Ben could hear some sort of ruckus outside and Ben lifted his head from your neck, “Son of a bitch, what the hell is that?”
You were definitely frustrated that you were interrupted too, but you wondered more about what could be outside. How were you found? You had a feeling that whatever was outside couldn’t exactly be good news.
You and Ben both got out of bed and started making your way to the living room and you walked towards one of the windows and you saw Black Noir standing with Queen Maeve. You could faintly hear Queen Maeve talking about something.
“I still don’t get why Homelander wants us to check this out. Is he really that paranoid about Starlight? They’re supposed to be the world’s number one couple aren’t they?” You could hear Maeve say, but not to anyone’s surprise Noir didn’t answer.
Still, it was enough for your eyes to widen. Homelander and the Seven knew where you were now? Why the hell did they come to your door? How did you get wrapped up this mess? Just by some sort of minor association with that Butcher fellow and his little group?
“Noir…” You heard Ben speak.
When you looked over at him, you could tell he was angry. What the hell happened in Nicaragua? You turned to him and put a hand on his chest.
“They can’t possibly know you’re alive. They want me because of some group that stopped by a few days ago. Just stay here before you get yourself in trouble again.” You pleaded.
“You don’t understand. Noir was a part of it some how. I need to go out there and-“
“Ben, I don’t know what you’re planning. I don’t know how you plan on doing it. But you need to do things right and right now that means listening to me before you wind up somewhere that you don’t need to be. I’m not losing you for another several decades.”
Ben’s jaw tightened and he hated when you got stubborn like this. But you were right. He supposed the logical thing to do at the moment was lie low before he found out where the rest of his former teammates resided. And Butcher… maybe he knew more than he was leading on.
Before Ben knew it, you were walking out your front door to confront the two supes.
“Hi there. Is there something the two of you need this late at night?” You asked, not really that scared to face them head on. If it was just a conversation, you could handle it.
“O-Oh. Quake. We didn’t realize that you were still awake.” Queen Maeve said, almost like a teen who’s plans to sneak out got foiled.
“Yeah, you both are interrupting a good book I was reading before I was alerted you were out here. Now what do you want?”
“Noir and I just wanted to know if you were visited by a man named William Butcher and his friends, and if you happened to know anything about Soldier Boy.”
“Soldier Boy’s dead, remember? You know just about as much as I do.” You said, crossing your arms.
“Quake, we know Starlight found your address. There was an explosion where Crimson Countess lived and when servailence was checked, it caused us to have the belief that Soldier Boy is alive. We have reason to believe he may be here and we just want to talk to him.” Queen Maeve said and your eyes darkened.
You knew Starlight was sweet and all when she sent you that photo of Ben, but you should have known she was naive and she’d get caught eventually.
“I told you, I don’t know anything. Now I think you should leave.” You said, your tone growing more stern.
“We just need to see if Soldier Boy is here then we’ll get out of your hair.”
You rolled your eyes, knowing that both of them were unwilling to listen, then you raised your hand forward. The earth beneath you began to shake and then, from the ground, rose a wall of rock and dirt. You made a pushing motion with your hand and the wall went forward, pushing Queen Maeve and Black Noir back until they hit a couple of trees in the woods.
You were just glad you had plenty of acreage with nothing on it so you could use the ground as much as you needed to for self defense.
Anyway, you raised your hands again and took the patch of ground that Black Noir and Queen Maeve were on, lifting both of them up on their own personal island before you practically flung them several miles back from where they came from.
After all, they’re supers. They’ve survived worse. You just wanted them away from your home, not dead.
You shut the door behind you and walked past Ben who must’ve seen the whole thing through the window.
“Why’d you through them across all creation like that?” He asked, trying to joke with you, but you weren’t exactly in the joking mood anymore.
“What the hell did you do to Countess? They said there was some kind of explosions? They want to know where you are and now they may want to kill you.” You said as you started looking for your suitcases.
Ben sighed for a moment before he started telling you everything from his point of view.
“Countess and my team members stabbed me in the back. They tried to get me killed and the Russians took me. They were trying to figure out what could kill me and somehow in the process, I got new abilities that results in these energy blasts like the explosion at Countess’ place. She’s dead.”
“Holy-fucking-Hell, Ben! You can’t just go and blow people up like that! Do you realize that there’s cameras practically all over the place? No wonder they found you!” You exclaimed as you started packing up your things.
“Look, I’m still new to this whole technology-is-everywhere concept, alright? She lived in a damned trailer, I didn’t think it would get that much attention.” He told you and you sighed.
“Why are you packing up everything?” Ben asked you as he watched you moving about.
“Because my house is known to Vought now? And since I was uncooperative with those two supes, it’s only a matter of time before Homelander tries to take a shot at me and I don’t feel like dealing with his bullshit. I’ve got to figure out some other place to go. Not to mention the fact that I helped out Grace whenever I retired. She doesn’t have a good reputation with them either. They know William Butcher and his friends came to my house asking some questions because I think they want to take down Homelander once and for all, naturally Vought’s not going to like that. I’ll have to go into hiding all over again until I figure out where to go.”
Ben frowned at the way you were rambling but he supposed he could understand where you’re coming from. He watched you head to your office to grab something before he reached out and took your arm to get you to stop moving around so frantically.
“Hey, it’ll be okay. Haven’t I always made sure you were safe from Vought after your little endeavors in retirement?” He reminded you and you let out a sigh as he pulled you into his embrace. He laid his head on top of yours, hating that you were suddenly stressed out about this mess.
“You did…”
“And what makes you think I won’t help you now? That William Butcher guy, he came to me wanting my help. He was the one that basically put Countess on a silver platter for me and he lead me to you. He probably wants the same things you do.” He said.
“Let me call Butcher. If he’s really as much trouble as this Homelander guy as you say he is, and he still hasn’t gotten caught? Maybe I can do that little favor he needs me to and we’ll figure out a plan from there.” He insisted.
“I don’t know.. what if the supes take you again or if someone double crosses you?”
“I’ll just have to kill them before they can try.”
“That’s really not comforting…”
Ben smiled a little before he placed a kiss on the top of your head, “Nothing’s going to happen to me. Once we get everything we need to settles, you and I can find some place to go. Hell we can travel out of the country if we wanted to and find some nice place to spend the rest of our lives.”
“That’s… a little bit better I guess. Gives me something positive to think about.”
“That’s better… now, why don’t I make a call to Butcher then we can get whatever you need all packed.” He insisted and you nodded against his chest.
“Ben?”
“Yes, Sweetheart?”
“I’ve missed you. Really missed you.”
Ben lifted his head from the hop of yours and he looked down at you. He could see so much worry on your face after everything that’s just happened. It was such a contrast from how happy you were moments ago and he hated how quickly things seemed to change.
“I’ve missed you too, Sweetheart. I promise, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
You smiled softly before you carefully pulled him down by the neck and planted a soft little kiss on his lips before pulling away from his embrace.
“Give Butcher a call. We may not have that much time.”

"i miss yiuu" d.r
daniel ricciardo x reader its been three years since you broke up with him but your love never fade away
wordcount: 4.8k
warnings: alcohol, kisses and soft daniel
A/N: exes to lovers is one of my favorites tropes so i hope you enjoy it as much as i did while i was writing it. any feedback is welcome here!
Tumblr media
you had ended your relationship with daniel three years ago when you got the job that you ever dreamed of in los angeles as a film production manager.
you were so good together, your group of friends always said that you were going to be the first ones to get married and you both would looked at each other and laughed about it, hoping the prediction was right.  but it all started to crumble when you moved to LA. even though you knew how to deal with distance, this was completely different, your working hours were always different and you always had to be on the set.
the first month daniel was there with you but as soon as the season started for him it all became difficult. you talked everyday, and made online dates whenever you could but with him in a new team adapting to a new car and a new team mate and you across the ocean in a new place, with a new job and shootings everyday the communication started to fail. 
weeks later you both kinda agreed that splitting apart would be the best, you couldn't keep waiting for a reencounter that you didn't know if would happen. it hurt you both because you loved him and he loved you for sure, but it just wasn't your time, and some say that when you love someone it is better to let them go.
with time you got used to missing him, you thought about him every night before going to sleep, but you couldn't stay there, stuck in your last relationship, so your friends from work set you on some dates to forget the driver, and it kinda worked, after a few hook ups, parties and different plans.
you got to see him again after a year at dinner with your friends back in monaco, just said hello and walked to emma, your best friend. you remember she made a panic face after you walked past him, you laughed and told her that nothing was going to happen, cause he was dating someone, you knew it because blake had told you, just for you to know the situation, but you weren't going to get in between someone's relationship so you prefer to avoid him and talk to him the less you could. 
another time after another dinner that you couldn't attend because you were back in LA emma called you almost screaming saying that daniel had asked for you, he asked how you were doing and if you were attending the reunion. he was still in a relationship so you wondered why he was asking for you. 
the plans with your friends kept going and you went every time you were in monaco. sometimes he was there and sometimes he was away racing. when he was there you just said hi, and while eating you would crossed a few glances when he made jokes and he looked for your reaction, sometimes he caught you looking at him and you cursed to yourself cause he was so pretty and you couldn't help yourself but stare at him, he would let out a little giggle, as if he knew what was going in your mind but apart from that you never had a proper talk. 
the last time that you saw him was like five months ago,when you were spending a free week there. this time the reunion was in his apartment. you had a moment in the elevator where you just looked at each other and started laughing, god you've missed that. he asked you about your job and your family, he really cared cause he always had a good relationship with your parents and they loved him. you asked about his family too, not only his parents but his niece and nephew and he said that they were fine but kept to himself that his mom would ask for you sometimes, and his nephew too, because they missed you like him.
that night your emma and simon announced that they were getting married in january and you were all invited to celebrate with them. you were going to spend ten days together in bali, indonesia and as the night called for you all got a little drunk which made you uninhibited so you started joking with daniel and everyone laughed at your double jokes, that's what you used to do when you were a couple, you complimented each other so well and it was noticeable for everyone. watching him there moving his head to the back as he laughed, moving his hands as he talked, touching his hair and rubbing his eyes when he was getting sleepy made you realize how much you had missed him and how much love you still had for him. 
after all, he escorted you downstairs to open the door and again you were in that elevator but now both drunk, that's why you couldn't keep your mouth shut and rather than going into a dead silence you asked “weren't you dating someone?”
he giggled and said “why are you asking?” to which you couldn't help but going red faced and then he added “not anymore, it didn't work” you nodded taking your gaze away from him. then he walked you to the door and before you got into your cab he said “maybe we can try again and go on a date someday if you want to” you shook your head, smiled and got inside the car.
a week after a few messages surprised you when you were going back to your house from shooting. there were three message from daniel that said “ypure realllly prettyu” “i miss yiuu” and a bunch of heart emojis, oh god, drunk daniel. that's what he used to do when he got drunk and he was away from you. he texted you multiple times during the night at random hours saying that he missed you, he loved you and sometimes he asked for nudes. that was your dinamic.
now it was like 9pm for you and you had no idea where in the world he was but it was sunday so you thought that he must have got into the podium that weekend so you went to twitter to check and there he was, trending because he had got the first place in the french gp so you laughed and texted him "congrats champ <3 don't forget to drink some water!”. he would've never told you that if he was sober, at least not now three years after your break up, so it wasn't like you were going to confess that you missed him too, so you let it pass. the next day he texted you “sorry for the inconvenience but thanks for your support”.
other night it was you who drunk texted him saying “avtually i muss you tooo” “ure sop hot” and he replied quickly with a pic of him in front of a mirror dressed all in black with a blue cap backwards and his tongue out. such a bastard he knew your weaknesses. you only responded with emojis of heart eyes and sweating faces but the next day you didn't have the courage to say something so it stayed there. 
days after he texted you “hey, the proposal of a date is still up” and you couldn't help but feel little butterflies in your stomach, just like when you two started dating. “i'm thinking about it but i have no free time till bali :(“ you replied and he sent a broken heart emoji.
you had spent hours with emma on the phone, she was so excited and after she explained all the tours that she wanted to do in bali you told her that you had been texting with daniel, you knew she wouldn't get mad cause she was you number one supporter, so when she heard you she let out a scream and said that she knew that something was up between you and daniel, you said to her that you didn't knew if something was going to happen on the trip but that you were not closed to anything, if it had to be it will.
now months later you were on your way to the airport, nervous because even though it was a big group of people he was still going to be there.you were all going to take the same flight but what if your seat was beside him, it would be so awkward having to interact with him after those drunk messages, you were almost praying to get your seat beside anybody but him. you hated yourself at that time because you were acting like a teenager thinking what ifs and getting nervous just thinking about him. 
“you need help with that?” someone said to you when you were taking your suitcase out of your car trunk “oh my god blake, you're going to give me a heart attack” he laughed “let me just take that” he said as he took it out. “thanks, how have you been? long time no see” you said as you lean to hug him. “good, looking forward to rest” you were going to reply but his phone started ringing, he excused and attended the call and took a few steps away “simon, were here, can't hear you mate” he said as he covered his ear so he could hear better, you closed the trunk “yes, i came with daniel, we’re waiting for him” you started to walk to the gates to get into the airport when you felt a hand in your shoulder “hey y/n” fuck he had arrive, you turned your right to see him when he hold you close to his chest to wrap his arms around your shoulders and leave your face in his neck, “oh hi daniel” you said shyly and looked at him. his skin was a bit more tanned than usual and his beard was recently shaved but his mustache was there. he had left it because he knew you liked him like that. he had a pink cap, a white big shirt and black shorts, his thigh tattoos were showing and your mouth watered. 
blake came back and you parted from the embrace “we’re kinda late so we have to get going” he said “sure let's go” dan replied and they started to walk, you took a little longer to start walking and they moved forward, looking at them laughing you wondered how many things could happen in bali.
the flight was okay, the row of seats was full with your friends. you sat with harper on your right, claire on your left, and emma next to her. it had been so long since you last saw them, so you spent the first few hours talking to them. the guys were sitting a few rows back. you wondered if daniel already had taken his vitamins and his sleeping pill, because that was what he did when you traveled with him and the flights were long, sometimes rested on your shoulder, or your lap, other times not, but he always had a hand on you, it was your thigh or your fingers intertwined, he used to show you his love with physical touch, and you loved it. 
once you arrived in Indonesia in the afternoon you were taken to the villa that they had hired. it was beautiful and so big since you were a group of ten people. it had an equipped kitchen, a living room with a big comfortable couch, a tv and sliding glass doors that took you to the back where the pool was. the view was beautiful, you had direct access to the river, it was all full of every type of plant that you could imagine. there were like five rooms, some had double beds and others were simple. the engaged couple of course occupied one with the double bed and before any other could say it harper and you screamed that you were going to the other double one leaving everyone else complaining.
as soon as you settled in the house you all went to the back to see the sunset, with some r&b playing in the back you sat there and started to catch up with everyone, like small talks all going at the same time. it had been months since you all shared moments like that. while you were talking with the boys you could feel daniel’s gaze in you, but he didn't dare to approach.
for dinner emma and simon had booked a table in a place where you can eat and after that the place turned into a party. the table was big but you ended up sitting beside blake with daniel in front of you. across the table emma was looking at the situation, you knew what she was thinking but you only smiled and raised your drink at her. the food was good and the drinks were even better, so by now you were getting tipsy, just like everyone else. daniel and blake did not stop talking and sharing anecdotes for a minute, they always had something new to tell, and you remembered all the times that you spent in hotel rooms with them in race weekends, just eating and talking about anything, sometimes playing monopoly or uno, everything was fun when you were together. 
when everyone finished eating emma asked you if you could go to the bathroom with her, so you went with her, and as she closed the door she said “you cannot tell me that nothings going to happen with daniel tonight” “i don't know, i'm not thinking about what is going to happen, we’re just having a good time” you said as you fixed your skirt in the mirror “he never stopped looking at you” she said opening her eyes wider “yes, but we were just talking” “his eyes were shining y/n” she exclaimed now looking directly at you, “come on, we all have been drinking, you're kinda drunk too” “his eyes are shining since he sat without a drop of alcohol in his blood”, “okay you're being dramatic right now, i think it's better if we get going” you said turning to the door.
“he's looking at you just like he used to when you were a couple” she was dead serious now, you frozed there and  looked at her “what are you waiting to go back to him” she crossed her arms “i know you miss him too, even though you've never tell me i know how you feel, i've known you since we were kids” the worst part was that it was true, she knew you like herself and you couldn't hide anything from her. “i just don't want to get used to him, because then i'll miss him more and i know that it's not going to be as it was, when this is over i'll get back to LA and he’ll go back racing” your eyes were full of tears wanting to come out, emma got closer to you “you can't live thinking about what is going to happen in the future, you're here now, he's here, you both miss each other, enjoy the time you got together instead of overthink everything” she hugged you and your couldn't help but let some tears fall “i hate you, you're always right” you said as you dried the tears, she laughed “you know im doing this because i love you and i want the best for you. now let's go, they're waiting for us”.
when you came out of the bathroom the ambience was totally different, now the music was louder, there were less lights, more people and the tables were moved aside. you looked at emma and told her to follow you to go were your table was before, you started walking but when you turned to look at here she was gone, you standed on your tiptoes trying to see her blonde hair in the midst of all the people but you couldn't see her, so you made your way to the drinks bar, maybe some known face was there. 
you were trying to find your friends when a hand grabbed your arm, it was blake, and behind him was daniel, no record of the others. you stayed with them talking like before, now blake was telling you about a time when he and daniel went to ride motor bikes and he almost died when they got to the top of the mountain and he didn't really know what to do. “and you didn't help him?” you turned to daniel who had been quiet, he smiled a little and told you “he agreed to go with us, he wasn't my responsibility” you and the other aussie laughed “alright, i'm going to get another drink” blake said and you nodded. you both stayed there just vibing with the loud music, looking at everything but each other. “so how have you been?” he said looking at you but as soon as you looked into his eyes he put his attention on the cocktail he had in his hand. “good, busy with a lot of work but good” he nodded “you? how's the season going?” “pretty good, actually” you smiled a little and a group of boys walked past your back pressing you to daniel’s chest, he stayed there standing feeling you close. the place was more crowded now, so you were all kinda tight. “how's your family?” he said, leaning into your ear so you could hear him, but you got distracted by his proximity, feeling his hot breath in your neck and his jaw close to lips, you just wanted to stay there, feeling him close.
“they're all good, haven't seen them in a while.” you said leaning into him, closer, “yours? how are the kids?” the tension could not be disguised. “everyone is fine” he said and his nose brushed your ear “the kids are getting bigger every time” he said and moved his free hand in your waist. you were both thinking the same. you didn't wait anymore and you passed your arms behind his nape to bring him closer. both of his arms around your waist and your foreheads together, leaning into each other, you felt how he smiled before moving his head a little to your right to say “you don't know how much i've missed this” you kissed his cheek and asked him “what do you mean by this?” of course you knew what he was referring to, but you wanted to hear him saying it. “this” he said as he left kisses on your neck “having you around, laughing with you, kissing you” he kept kissing you “all of this”. you wanted it as much as him so you connected your lips, like you always did you went for his lower lip, biting it a little making him open his mouth and giving you space to go further. everyone around the two of you was there just dancing and laughing but you just stayed there for a moment, saying with kisses everything you couldn't say with words. you didn't know how it all would be after the trip but you weren't going to deprive yourself of anything. 
after a little time kissing and dancing he asked you if you wanted something to drink so you went to the drinks bar to have a gin and tonic, he guided you around the place  looking for the others, intertwined your fingers with his and started to walk, when you got to the stairs he let you go first so no one could watch something under your skirt, knowing how nasty man would be in clubs, he had always been in the little details, taking care of you. when you got to the terrace you saw them in the corner, talking and dancing, and the only two that were missing were you, so already knowing what the reaction would be you went to the girls. “everything okay?” harper said as they closed the round “yes, don't worry, everything's good” “did you talk?” claire asked now “we did more than that” you said and took a sip of your drink “yes, i knew it” emma said out loud “the next round of shots is up to claire” she confessed excited and you laughed “we made a bet and she said that you two wouldn’t do anything”, “can't believe you guys are betting about my love life” you said while harper guided you to the bar you crossed glances with daniel who was in the same situation as you before, he shrugged his shoulders and made a confused face, you laughed at him and went to take your shot.
the sky was clear and the weather was hot so you kept it that way, in between drinks and dances you all stayed together enjoying the night. 
the next day you went rafting down the river that took you over to white water rapids. that day daniel got closer to you and to nobody's surprise he went next to you in the boat, and any time your arms got tired he made fun of you and helped you. 
after lunch you went back to the villa and got into the pool, you were sat on the edge of it with your feet in the water when daniel swam to you and settled in between your legs, with him standing there you put your hands on his wet hair and started to make fun hairstyles, you started with a crest and then parted in the middle, then sunk to go back to his normal hairstyle.
as he was making his way to the stairs he splashed simon that was beside him. “sorry mate, didn't see you there” he said doing it again, simon turned to emma and shouted “come here baby, get on my shoulders we have a fight to win” she just nodded and jumped into the water “oh, are you declaring war on us?” daniel said seriously, “what do you think, you idiot?” simon replied, now helping emma to put her thighs on his shoulders “come here y/n” dan said going back to you “what do i have to do with this?” “he has emma, i need you by my side now” he took your hands and helped you get on him like your rivals. he walked with you to stand in front of them “let's crush them baby” he said squeezing your thighs encouraging you, but you couldn't even think about the pet name and his touch because he went straight forward, you threw your arms to your friend grabbing her by her shoulders and pushing her back to make her fall but her fiance was quicker and took a few steps back “come closer you coward” dan said throwing his hands to simon's face, you started to laugh and emma took the opportunity to hold your hands and push you, but simon began to slip and wobbled making them both fall on their backs sunking defeated. 
“yes, lets go baby” daniel said raising his arms in victory, you laughed out loud and he helped you get down, once you were in front of him he hugged you by your shoulders and said to your ear “we make such a good team” to then hold you by your cheeks and leave a wet kiss on your lips and you had no other choice than kiss him back, you broke away when you heard simon saying “this is not going to end like this”. 
that night all of you went to bed early after dinner, but after an hour rolling in your bed, you made your way to the kitchen. when the weather was heavy like that it was always difficult for you to fall asleep, the humidity in the air was something you could not stand, so you opened the refrigerator and took out a water bottle and a pot of chocolate ice cream, you looked for a spoon, sat on the kitchen counter and started to eat with the light of the moon that entered thru the door, since you weren't planning to stay there that long you didn't bother turning the lights on. you were surprised when someone came down the stairs and turned the lights on 
“y/n? what are you doing here?” you recognized the sleepy voice and the aussie accent “just needed some water and something sweet” daniel made his way next to you and opened the water bottle that you had. “that sweet tooth is hard to get away” he said, standing between your open legs with his face right in front of yours. you kept on grabbing ice cream “you have the same taste as me, don't try to make me feel guilty” he chuckled and said “you're not going to give me a taste?” “you just had to ask for it” you said as you got the spoon full, but when you were about to put it in his mouth he turned it to you, making you eat the ice cream, hold you by your hips and come closer to you, you closed your eyes and felt how his tongue traced your lower lip, making you open your mouth, giving him the space that he needed to deepen the kiss, you just stayed there when he broke the contact “its good but i prefer cookie dough” said on your lips “oh shut up” you said smiling and left the pot with the spoon on the counter to pull him close by the back of his neck, your legs wrapped around his hips not letting him go, the kiss kept going until you both needed to breathe again. like last time you leaned on him in silence caressing his hair.
“i meant what i said on those texts that i sent you” his voice was soft and sincere “i know how pretty i am you didn't have to tell me” he smiled and rolled his eyes, you both played it cocky sometimes “which one are you talking about?” you were serious now “all of them, drunks tell the truth” you tried to look for his gaze “you're not easy to forget” he said, but he didn't dare to look at you, so he kept his gaze down. “i already told you this but i really miss you. after the first months after our break up i realized how much i had lost and  i tried to get on with my life but it was so difficult” he looked up at you “I looked for you or things of yours in every woman I've ever been with but you left the bar so high for me that i just couldnt conform with good sex and some dates” your eyes watered, because you werent waiting for him to confess right here, but you knew that if he was letting it out like this, he had been holding it in for a while. “i pushed you away because i didn't even know how to deal with myself, but i regret the decision we made because you have always been there for me, and then i was facing a lot of new stuff and you weren't there to advise me, cheer me up or just being there by my side” you pulled him to you, hugging him and leaving his head on your neck while tears rolled down your cheeks he wrapped his arms around your waist. 
“i think we both got scared, it was a big change for us, but i always knew that i didn't wanted to get away from you, because you're not easy to forget either” you felt him smiling in your chest “i tried to move on because i couldn't stay there and cry everyday before going to work knowing that when i got home you weren't going to be there, or that i wasn't going to be there for you in race weekends, i missed you everyday” he stood again in front of you and wiped the tears from your cheek with his thumb, his cheeks were also wet from tears, so you kissed the tears away making him giggle. “the proposal to go on a date still stands, it can be here, in LA or monaco, wherever you want” he said kissing you back “I only accept if a good wine is involved and some chocolate too” he nodded “i'm taking notes” you smiled and left little kisses all over his face.
“okay, let's go, we have to get up early” he nodded and helped you get down to turn off the lights and follow you upstairs. you were about to open the door of your bedroom when he said “wait one more thing” and brought you closer by your wrist to kiss you, a deep kiss that you couldnt resist and ended up with your back pressed against the hallway wall and his hands on your neck, you could stay there for hours, but not today “goodnight dan” he kissed you one more time and said “it's been so long since  you call me dan” that made you laugh “go to sleep dan” you opened the door and heard him say “dream of me”.

A Year in Review : Jamie's 2023
Tumblr media
Welcome to our look back on Jamie’s 2023! It’s been a tough year for the entertainment industry in general, with the SAG-AFTRA strike taking place from July all the way through to November, and we know that this impacted Jamie as he chose to take a stand along with many of his other acting peers. Yet despite this, Jamie has accomplished a lot in this year & it’s time to look back at some of the highlights!
Tumblr media
February saw the release of Beyond Paradise on BBC1. Jamie played Archie Hughes, an ex flame of Martha’s who joined forces with her in getting her new business in Shipton Abbott up and running. Unfortunately for Archie, Martha had moved back to Shipton Abbott with her fiance, Humphrey and the two didn’t quite see eye to eye. This was such a fun role for Jamie and a complete joy to watch.
Tumblr media
April was an exciting month which saw Jamie celebrating his 50th birthday and as always we marked the occasion with a birthday video which many of you took part in! He also travelled over to Cannes to premiere Cannes Confidential at  the 6th Canneseries Festival alongside co-stars Lucie Lucas and Tamara Marthe.
Tumblr media
May saw Jamie treading the boards once again in Uncle Glen’s Menagerie at the Arcola Theatre which we were lucky enough to go and watch. Such an incredible evening of ad-lib comedy and superb acting from an incredible group of actors and comedians. As ever we want to thank Jamie for his time that he spent chatting with us before and after the show too.
Tumblr media
In June finally came the UK release of Cannes Confidential on Acorn TV and we LOVED Harry King from the moment we met him. Such a fun, easy watching show and such a complex character in which Jamie got to show off all sides of his talent, from comedy through to some really beautiful emotional moments, especially in scenes with his on-screen daughter Emilie who was played by his real life daughter Ava in a brilliant debut performance. June also saw the release of Trader over in Russia - a project which Jamie filmed alongside his amazing wife Kerry all the way back in 2019! And of course, we cannot forget the epic BSG reunion which took place when Jamie headed over to Phoenix Fan Fusion. #SoSayWeAll
Tumblr media
July brought some incredible news as Jamie announced that he was taking part in Kenny Logan’s RWC Challenge - an epic 700 mile cycle & walking challenge from Edinburgh to Paris, all to raise money for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. Throughout July all the way through to October when the challenge took place, Jamie was training hard to ensure that he was ready for the mammoth challenge ahead.
Tumblr media
August saw the release of Who Is Erin Carter? on Netflix - a twisty, fast paced thriller from the mind of Strike Back writer, Jack Lothian. Jamie played DI Jim Armstrong, a mysterious figure from Erin’s past. Though he was only in two episodes. We LOVED this character and with the series being left open ended, we really hope we get to see more of Jim in the future.
Tumblr media
In September, Jamie attended the National Television Awards alongside his Beyond Paradise cast mates as the show was nominated for Best New Drama (which sadly it didn’t win).
Tumblr media
And onto October which was such an important month for Jamie as all the training paid off when he & so many other incredible people including Kenny & Gabby Logan, Ally McCoist, Jason Fox and Jimmy Nesbitt started their gruelling trek on bike and foot from Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh to the Stade de France in Paris. This challenge was hugely life changing for the whole team (as well as a whole lot of fun!) and they smashed their target of raising £555,555 between them for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. We were honoured to be able to cheer them all on for a small part of this journey when we saw them off in York on day 3 and welcomed them back as they ended the day at the beautiful Belvoir Castle. To top off an incredible achievement, Jamie was also asked to become an ambassador for the foundation - a role we know that he will embody so well.
October also saw Jamie joining Cameo, giving fans the opportunity to get a personalised video message from him (which we of course took advantage of also!) and to round off the month, Cannes Confidential aired on French TV, renamed  Cannes Police Criminalle, with the entire show having been dubbed into French by the original cast.
Tumblr media
November saw Jamie as a guest on fellow RWC Challenge team mate Archie Curzon’s podcast, The Rig Biz Pod, which was a brilliantly funny interview.
Tumblr media
And to round the year off, December gave us announcements of not one but two new projects to look forward to in 2024! Firstly, Heavyweight, starring and produced by Jamie’s Marcella co-star Nicholas Pinnock, will be a gritty London drama focusing on the mental state of a boxer and his cornermen backstage before the fight as the clock ticks down. 
With the strike finally over, Jamie travelled to Bulgaria to film Strangers alongside Sienna Guillory, Emmett J Scanlan and Jon Voight. The project is described as an action thriller and will be released in 2024 on Paramount Plus.
As well as these two exciting announcements, AKA Blackbird, the brainchild of BSG alumni James Callis was finally released as an audiobook! With so many former BSG stars taking part in it, including Jamie and Kerry, it’s definitely not one to be missed.
And there you have it! Despite some difficult times, Jamie really did achieve a lot this year and with 2 projects already to look forward to, we can’t wait to see what else 2024 has in store.
As ever, we would like to thank you for all the support of our page over this past year and wish you all a very happy new year!
Jemma and Sophie. xx

what if the jasper family existed? (part 2?)
NOTE: First of all, I wrote the basics of these headcanons in 2018. For some reason, I like Jasper (maybe because I feel Jason had a ton of potential and because I'm woc, specifically mixed native Peruvian). Kinda self-insert. oh, Percabeth mentions.
I did a lot of research on the Cherokee culture, I hope the Native Americans agree on certain things.
Tumblr media
As I mentioned earlier, the first to be born was the tiny blonde named Regina (one of Juno's most updated epithets) along with a big offering of goats. Jason expected to get blessing from her matron, and so it was, Jason was always Juno's honored hero. On the other hand, the little chocolate-haired boy like Piper, was named Waya (a cherokee name meaning: wolf) Romulus (a Roman name that was an obvious reference to the builder of Rome) McLean.
On the first of March, as roman custom dictated, Matronalia was celebrated. Piper was happily holding her son when she noticed the sadness of Annabeth who had hidden herself well as a greek, but not well enough as Piper in her troubled teenage days. She moved a little away from the other wives and girlfriends, inadvertently she had adopted certain roman customs. She found her with watery eyes, Pipes had always been her greatest confidant and Annabeth confessed her misfortune to her, having offended the goddess Juno/Hera in her youth had brought her consequences. A demigoddess always has to remember her rank as a being inferior to a god. Having been blinded by her pride, her fatal flaw, the process of becoming pregnant was made difficult. Percy intervened for nothing, Juno was tough, but Hera, vengeful. Juno more sensible got her husband to relent in her favor and not even a hero of Olympus could change her mind.
Piper was always good with words, she made Annabeth cheer up enough to dry her tears and laugh a little. The gods sucked, but they had to be obeyed like the mortals they were. She had her hold little Waya for her to feel some additional comfort and invited her to be her guest at her house with Jason. As she prepared for such an event, she remembered a custom of her culture; she went into the woods asking for a deer, to her good fortune, Frank Zhang lent her assistance and with her soft voice persuaded them to make the offering. In her culture, deer were messengers of fertility, and if she could make it work, perhaps the goddess would listen to her prayers.
When the time came, it felt like a reunion of the team they had been: seven teenagers struggling to survive while having a snack on the Argo II. Hazel along with Frank took the day off after overtaking their duties and sending the second rankers to lead so as not to miss the event. Hazel had matured in her early adult years, she was no longer short but of medium tall stature, had a stocky body and looked nothing like the fearful girl of her past; Frank, her ex-boyfriend, had become even more muscular and moved with the grace of a full governor. Leo emerged from the Vulcan forges looking flawless as ever, when he came, Pipes embraced her platonic soul mate who loved to create messes and he reciprocated her embrace with strength, acting as if they were siblings without having seen each other in years. As new news was told, Piper inevitably thought of her Greek siblings: Lacy became a successful model and professional manicurist, while Drew Tanaka, her old enemy, became a media journalist, unfortunately, some greek siblings had passed away at a young age, which made her nostalgic and grateful to have a family.
Finally Percy and Annabeth arrived, holding hands and with a look of mutual love in their eyes. After Juno's call was made by Jason, and Percy avoided making any commotion, an answer was achieved: Annabeth would be fertile as long as she knelt before the statue of the goddess and made stern offerings to Juno, the mother goddess.
After the message, a more animated Percy hugged his girlfriend while everyone with light anxiety and quite joy ate what Jason prepared for dinner, who wanting to make his wife proud, had prepared typical cherokee dishes of pumpkin, corn and beans. Pipes smiled proudly at him, as she showed them her seven-pronged necklace made by her beloved blond, while Waya played with it.
Ten days after the Great New Moon Ceremony, the Atohuna was taking place, which was a friendly cherokee celebration that Piper herself had organized with other cherokee descendants in New Rome, when Annabeth came running and practically giving her the most intense hug of her life, confessed to her that she was pregnant at last, in strict compliance with Juno's orders.
The club of seven (ft Nico + Thalia) congratulated the young couple and soon the news spread like wildfire.
As Jason babysat his little Regina, she demanded to have a puppy with her slight stutters and soft kaleidoscopic blue eyes, but she failed to endear Jason, who had practically been raised by wolves and fake innocents. A few months passed, when Regina said her first word: "dad", that emotioned Jason so much that he didn't realize he was levitating and got her a beautiful wolf pup, as the romans used to do, as crazy as it may seem. On the other hand, months later Waya said his first sentence, "I want to be a girl".
They both looked at each other confused, they were open minded (Piper knows Jason is bi romantic+asexual and Jason knows his wife was never straight), but still they didn't know what to do, one more challenge for the McLean family.

no I’m actually so pissed off like imagine you’re finally feeling like people are there just to see you as Louis Tomlinson and not just a part of a band (like he said in the igtv) and then you have these weird as fuck interviews with the “there’s rumors about 1D reunion and blah blah blah” and asks about your ex-band mated and interviewer who shows up in 1D t-shirt…it’s annoying and Louis deserves better because these kind of interviews are once again showing him that he’s only a part of a band and it’s a huuuge step back :(
sigh these Australian shows better be sold out because these interviews are ridiculous
Big sigh. I don’t even know what to say. They literally spent the entire thing talking about a band that’s been dead and done for the past SEVEN years. Literally nobody who’s waking up at/ staying up till ungodly hours to catch these interviews is doing it to hear about 1dead!
Why can’t his team have a blocklist for questions? I truly don’t understand. How much nostalgia can you shove down peoples throats? He looked like he was bored out of his life answering those questions!. The only spark in his eye during the whole thing was when he was talking about his barricade moment.
We usually go in with really really low expectations and these people somehow manage to fall short of even those! I don’t even know. I’m so done right now.

This was a while ago so I understand if you don't remember it happening, but at one point you mentioned wanting people to acknowledge that Pearl was a legate and having some angst based around this. If you remember any of the details to that I'm all ears :eyes_emoji:
I still have a lot of legacy headcanons and ideas and things running around in my head, legacy is great :D
okay so quick recap of legacy and things about it- Legacy SMP is a vanilla survival invite-only server with twenty-seven (if I counted correctly lmao) members and four inactive members, currently, they are in their 3rd season, which started yesterday!
S2 had a lot of lore that'll take too long to explain but here's the recap of it-
End of season 1 the remaining legates spawned in around 150 withers in one area which caused 'the withering energy' in other words, the withers killed everything in S1 causing the legates to flee the server into S2, but even when they escaped to S2, the withering energy leaked through the rift, causing chaotic energy that's controlled by us viewers, some of these chaotic energy being: Blood Moon (kill everybody you see at night), Magnetic Legates (legates become magnetic to each other), Voice of The Withers (Local legate SlicedLime gets possessed by the withers), and a lot more that i forgot lol-
And during the time Pearl left, the withers was at their peak pretty much, four legates - PoptartKatze, SlicedLime, LogicalGeekBoy, and Avomance had to fight a custom made wither fight - which was amazing btw I suggest watching Lime's video on it-
in which, LogicalGeekBoy was pretty much kidnapped by the withers, and new members arrived to save them (minus logic), and that's all the lore I need to mention for S2.
oh and logic wasn't saved - he pretty much sacrificed himself so the remaining legates could go to s3
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
okay now, all the ideas I have right now:
Pearl's legacy series was mainly a stream only series with only 5 S2 videos! She is dubbed the dragon slayer on the server thanks to her killing a lot of dragons back in S1! and because of the whole 'dragon slayer' thing, i headcanon her as a dragon hybrid!
I also somewhat headcanon her being cursed! With legacy's withers, Last Life's boogeyman, Empire's Xornoth, and Hermitcraft's moon big and EX and Hels and all that,
Also haha imagine if she bumped into the legates and they told her that Logic got taken by the withers and they weren't able to save him haha-
Also, moon big? haha, imagine if that kicked in something in her that she thought was gone haha blood moon pearl
haha someone tells her about the time in S6 where they summoned 100 withers and she just panics
Pearl just being the braincell of Boatem and when someone asks her how she knows all of this she just goes "oh yeah i know a dev and was in the same server as him for like 2 seasons lol"
Red life Pearl girlbossing because she has experienced the sudden urge for bloodlust death murder and shit,
Pearl sees a poppy flower in hermitcraft and just says "I hope you're safe where ever you are" (PoptartKatze's name is Poppy, and the both of them were a duo- dubbed Team PP i miss them.)
Pearl decorating boatem saying "I'm used to decorating, legacy was post-apocalyptic so i had to decorate a lot to make it all look pretty"
Pearl sees all the cults happening in hermitcraft and when someone says 'this doesn't usually happen please don't panic' she just replies back with "we had a bee religion in legacy. i think the pastor sacrificed some sheep under me and my server mates names. i think he doomed us, but hey its whatever, I'm used to it"
Pearl and Impulse talking about Skizz :D
:gently_holds: Clash of the Creators reunion,
SPEAKING OF COTC- they had a fight with withers when they killed 1 wither they like lose 2 hearts I think? but haha legates were in it and haha imagine if-
Pearl n Keralis talking about Viggo :D
Pearl to xB: I see you know what it's like to be in a post-apocalyptic world xb just walking to boatem who just like post-apocalyptic stuff: what?
Dragon Pearl hoarding her servermates cause she's scared they might start disappearing (in other words legates started disappearing slowly throughout s2)
Impulse: yep this is hermitcraft! weird huh? Pearl: honestly this is a lot more calmer than legacy
Okay, that's all I'm gonna say for now because this is already really long lmao, hope you like these ideas.

Shippy Episodes
These are the ones I remember the best, but I may add more! If I missed any, please also feel free to add.
Season One
· S1E1: Pilot- my goodness. The intro. The snark. The conversations. The chemistry. They have an hour to convince you these two men are best friends and soul mates and they do just that.
· S1E3: Death Ride- I just love this episode. Everything goes to shit, and yet we see these two work in perfect sync. Putting hats on each other, eating off each other’s plates, joking about the watch. So many small moments that they can play off of each other with, and you can really see their relationship both professionally and outside of work.
Tumblr media
· S1E5: The Fix- Can you even talk about shippy episodes without bringing up this episode? Seeing Starsky so protective over Hutch, seeing him literally hold him down and nurse him through withdrawal is I think the solidifying moment of these two as something more than friends.
Tumblr media
· S1E14: Shoot-Out- My personal favorite. Oh my god. Lets go get dinner together! Lets do a well worn good cop bad cop routine! Lets playfully insult each other and then tearfully apologize because you cannot stand your last words to each other being anything other than loving and caring! We’ve got on and off work relationship, protective Hutch, honestly some protective Starsky, it really is just such an adorable and simultaneously painful episode.
Tumblr media
· S1E21: A Coffin for Starsky- My god, what The Fix is for Hutch to Starsky, this episode is that for Starsky to Hutch...if that makes sense. Hutch catching him as he crumples in the parking lot, Hutch threatening people to protect him, the angst of it all!
Tumblr media
Honorable Mention
· S1E10: Lady in Blue- Now I know what your thinking- the episode where Starsky’s ex dies? But the protective and understanding nature of Hutch is so tender and well done. It really does show that these two be in love with other people, either concurrently or in the past, but they will always love each other.
Tumblr media
Season Two
· S2E3&4: Murder at Sea- Oh the banter and snark in these episodes is so good! The teamwork of removing the bomb, holding each other when they blast the door open, desperately trying to do a talent show and deal with guests. They are so clearly on the same wavelength the whole episode and they are so over literally everyone else. Even the little conversation when they are searching the boat in the first episode shows such casual closeness, and it feels so natural.
Tumblr media
· S2E5: Gillian- Similar to Lady in Blue, it shows that even when in love with someone else, their duty is to each other. And the scene “you love him too, don’t you?” the subtext is slowly making its way to text.
Tumblr media
· S2E9: Tap Dancing Her Way Right Back Into Your Hearts- So these two slow dance together regularly right? These two argue whose leading with quite well worn arguments. These two flirt and “accidently” step on each other’s feet and roll their eyes and are each others partner in every way. Buying each other hot dogs on lunch break. C’mon boys.
Tumblr media
· S2E12: Iron Mike-Very me & thee this episode. Also, just the scene where they try to look over the fence? Incredible.
· S2E14: Bloodbath- Ah and we get to separated but together. The fear in Hutch as he looks for Starsky, and just holding each other at the end. It really has a special tone, this one.
Tumblr media
· S2E18: Survival- I would argue the accompanying episode to Bloodbath- separated, one in unknown danger, the other looking for him. The reunion is so simple and sweet and they do such a good job keeping it genuine.
Tumblr media
Honorable Mention:
· S2E25: Starsky and Hutch are Guilty- Oh the me & thee vibes are strong with this one.
Season Three and Season Four I am having major issues remembering exactly (a lot of them are overlapping with Hardy Boys and A-Team lol). I’ll maybe take some time to re-watch these seasons, or if anyone wants to add these seasons feel free!

Wilder: Amir’s Story (Route Summary)
Tumblr media
PROLOGUE:
MC decides to flee Ziya alone. A rotund wine merchant named Barlow offers her a timely rescue, smuggling her out in one of the wagons in his caravan. On their journey across the Shining Sands MC learns that Barlow is a wealthy and ambitious man who can afford not only a team of djinn guards but even a pleasure slave. It is this pleasure slave who warns MC that Barlow intends to ransom her back to Ziya and urges her to leave the caravan. Though MC suspects the surly Jamal just wants to no longer share his wagon, she takes his advice and flees from Barlow under cover of darkness.
CHAPTER I:
A sandstorm drives MC up into the Western Hills. There she is captured by a tribe of wild djinn and presented to the tribe's chief, Amir, who takes great interest in her and decides, instead of killing her, to keep her as some sort of prisoner. MC cannot understand the djinn tongue and Amir cannot speak hers, and so their interactions are fraught with misunderstandings, frustration, and mistrust.
As her time with the tribe passes MC is treated with contempt by most of them, attempts an unsuccessful escape, and continues to butt heads with Amir – an arrogant man-child with no manners as far as she can tell. She also meets Hani – an older ex-slave who is also an outcast among the tribe. Hani speaks both the human and djinn tongue and, being a kind woman, starts translating for MC and Amir. As MC and Amir start trying by themselves to learn parts of each other's language, their relationship begins to slowly improve.
Every night after dinner Amir will tell animated, theatrical tales for the enjoyment of his tribe, while Hani translates them for MC. Hani also teaches her things about the tribe, such as the fact that Amir went from orphan to the youngest and strongest rahki (chief) in the Hills, and how MC should watch out for Amir's closest friend, the hateful and vicious Kherga.
CHAPTER II:
Amir decrees that MC is no longer a captive but a guest of the tribe, allowing her freedom to move about the camp. This is an unpopular decision among his people, especially with Kherga. As the days and weeks pass, MC spends time with many of the tribe, pitching in with chores, and finds that not only is she growing stronger and hardier but that some of the tribe members seem to be warming to her – and she to them.
One morning a hunting party, led by Kherga, is about to head out. Amir impulsively invites MC to join, to Kherga's disgust. MC fails rather spectacularly at hunting a wild boar and cuts her legs on an undergrowth of thorns – the hunters find this uproariously funny. Amir takes MC to a nearby river where she can wash her injury while he leaps into the water and splashes around like a child. He tries to coax her in as well and is dismayed to learn that she cannot swim. In turn, MC learns that Amir is picking up the human tongue much quicker than she the djinn tongue. He acts the immature fool, but he is very intelligent and an enthusiastic learner.
Tumblr media
After bonding, the two return to camp. The atmosphere turns dark. Kherga holds court and has been whipping the tribe into an angry frenzy. MC doesn't need to speak the language to know that her continued presence here is the main cause of contention. Kherga challenges Amir's leadership and the two fight. But when some of the djinn grab MC in the chaos, Amir immediately abandons the challenge to force them to release her. As the tribe surrounds the two of them it is clear that Amir has lost his place as chief. He throws MC over his shoulder and runs, pursued by his former brothers and sisters, until he reaches the mountains known as the Knives – a place where the tribe will not follow.
CHAPTER III:
As soon as they are clear of the tribe Amir just stops and sits on the ground, shattered by disbelief and grief. MC believes the coup to be her fault but Amir is quietly firm that it is his. They have nowhere to go but forward, so they journey on. Amir is despondent and distracted; entirely unlike the djinn that MC had been getting to know.
Suddenly Amir goes entirely still, alert in a way he hasn't been for days now. He has sensed Hamza and his men approaching from behind. A battle ensues in which Amir brutally takes down any man who dares attack him – and MC does her own share of violence, shocking herself. But when Hamza is at his mercy Amir refuses to kill a helpless foe and instead takes MC's hand and starts running. Newly alive and euphoric from battle Amir pulls MC into a kiss – then, once the adrenaline fades, collapses from his wounds.
MC and Amir shelter in a cave while she tends to his injuries. He requests more lessons in the human tongue while he recovers and in return she asks for more traditional djinn stories. They are soon on the move again and make it to the other side of the Knives. As they continue on their journey they share more stories and lessons – and learn that there is a particular insult that both their cultures share. “Ki bo ki,” Amir teaches MC. “Fuck yourself,” she teaches him in turn.
CHAPTER IV:
Amir follows MC even past the Knives, into the farmland on the other side. He has nowhere else to go and neither seem to want to part just yet. He is also as excited as a child to see so many new sights. The two run into a blind woman on the road and help lift her cart out of a ditch. In thanks, she offers them lunch.
Once they reach the lady's farm she offers them both some of her produce and some clothes for Amir – at MC's request. Amir hates the shirt and he doubly hates the trousers, but MC insists that he keep them on while they are in human lands.
On the road again it isn't too long before they are waylaid by bandits who demand all their money, possessions, and Amir himself. Amir doesn't understand what is happening until MC explains the situation to him, after which he confidently tells the bandits to fuck themselves. After easily defeating the men, Amir and MC go through their ill-gotten belongings and find some broken slave bands. Amir agrees to wear them in order to fool any humans they may meet in the town ahead, but both he and MC feel disgusted by the performance.
CHAPTER V:
Now in the port town of Dijarah, Amir is amazed by the place but simply does not blend in. A man who takes offence to Amir spits at his feet, shocking the former rahki who has never been so affronted or so lost. He and MC stop at an inn for dinner, sharing a table despite the taboo, and learn that they have come to town on the right night – the Fish Festival is tonight.
Neither MC or Amir have ever attended a festival and let their excitement and curiosity overpower their common sense. When night falls they walk the now colourful streets, enjoying the food stalls, the games, and... the alcohol. Another first. They sit together at the water's edge and share another kiss, this one not fuelled by adrenaline but their shared sorrow at the thought of parting. MC shares the whole story of her escape from Ziya and journey to Umar. Amir vows to see MC safely onto a ship but then he must return home to the Hills, to seek justice and redemption with his tribe.
The fall asleep there by the water and wake wrapped around each other and facing the bemusement of the dock worker who finds them. MC finds a ship heading for Umar but is reluctant to book passage and say goodbye to Amir right then and there. Amir feels the same, casually suggesting breakfast in an attempt to distract her. But things are soon thrown into chaos as Hamza appears, spotting them and giving chase. Amir helps MC hide in a crate being loaded onto the ship from before, gives her knuckles a kiss, then leads Hamza away through the crowd. As the crate is loaded onto the ship, MC waits in the dark. A stowaway. Alone.
CHAPTER VI:
MC hides in the cargo hold, the ship having left port. She is alone, hopelessly worried about Amir, and heartbroken to know that she will never see him again. Then he pops out of the crate next to hers exclaiming, “MC!” and clapping his hand over her mouth to muffle her startled scream. Turns out he lost Hamza and doubled back to join her, unable to leave things as they were. Their days as stowaways begin. They pass time with stories and Amir finally tells MC about the expectation his tribe had for him to take a mate, and how it was part fascination and part rebellion that led him to claim MC as his when she was brought before him.
The confinement soon takes its toll on Amir who hates being unable to see the sky. MC makes him promise to stay hidden but he soon breaks it, discovered by sailors who take him before the ship's captain. MC follows in a panic and offers all the money she has – but the captain is surprisingly friendly, saying Amir has told him of her plight and that he is happy to give them passage to freedom in Umar. He gives them a cabin and asks in return only that MC remembers him and mentions him to all of her highborn friends and family as the gracious captain that saved her life.
Tumblr media
One night there is a terrible storm. MC finds Amir up on deck, naked, arms outstretched, face raised to the rain. As the thunder and lightning crack around them, MC and Amir embrace passionately. They spend the night together in their cabin, primal desperation eventually turning to gentle intimacy, and fall asleep as close as two people can be.
CHAPTER VII:
Upon arrival in Umar the captain directs MC and Amir to a safe place to stay called Minerva's. It soon becomes apparent that Minerva's is a pleasure house. They stay the night anyway, though Amir barricades their door with heavy furniture just to be safe from everyone's... rapt attention. In the morning a free djinn called Royo appears to escort them to her employer, the merchant-turned-lord Yasir. It seems the good captain tried to sell them out but, fortunately for them, Yasir has no interest in cooperating with Ziya.
At Yasir's estate there is one more surprise waiting – Uncle Makram. He and MC share a tearful reunion and he vows that he will keep her safe from now on. MC also makes him promise to ensure Amir is returned safely to his homeland. Bemused, Makram agrees. The arrival of a righteous and unstoppable Hamza breaks the peace of Yasir's estate. He demands that MC be turned over to his custody immediately.
Makram is the one to stand up to Hamza. He calls in the Heartseer who long ago proclaimed MC guilty of murder and has him confess to lying about what he saw – though he will answer none of Hamza's questions as to why. Makram, Hamza and Yasir go to another room and, when they return, Hamza seems cowed and ground under Makram's heel. Though still clearly disturbed, he apologises to MC and declares her innocent.
CHAPTER VIII:
MC, Amir, Makram, and Hamza are journeying back to Ziya together. They are currently passing through the Shining Sands in a carriage manned by a driver generously gifted by Yasir. When they pass close by to the Hills, the carriage stops to allow Amir to disembark.
Amir and MC stand in the starlight, sand under their feet, and know that this time they must say goodbye. MC asks for one last story and Amir tells her the tale of two legendary djinn lovers and the reysoko (blood bond) they shared by marking each other's flesh and drinking each other's blood, making them inseparable by even death. Unable to embrace under the scrutiny of the others MC and Amir must then simply say farewell and part ways. Amir heads off, up towards the Hills. MC returns to the carriage.
As the journey to Ziya continues through the night, MC suddenly realises that Hamza is no longer sitting out beside the driver. She forces Makram to admit what he, Yasir and Hamza discussed in that private room back in Umar – a plan to blame the shah's murder on a djinn plot, claiming that Ran was an assassin from Amir's tribe. As they speak, Hamza has met with a squad of his best men and they are following Amir's tracks to lead them to his people. MC slaps her uncle and leaps from the carriage, unhitching a horse and riding as fast as she can back towards the Hills to warn Amir and the tribe.
CHAPTER IX:
But by the time MC makes it to the camp there are already signs of a razing. Some djinn lie dead. Hani is leading many of the survivors in an attempt to avoid the soldiers by moving about the forest – as she knows the human tongue she alone is able to eavesdrop on their plans and work around them. MC leads a squad of Hamza's men away from them and into the undergrowth of thorns that she once blundered into, back when she briefly lived here.
She finds Hamza and Kherga, surrounded by dead djinn and humans alike, circling each other and both badly wounded. Hamza lands the killing blow on Kherga just as Amir comes running onto the scene, howling in grief and fury. Amir faces Hamza and they fight once more. This time, when Hamza is at his mercy, Amir does not hesitate to kill him.
When the last of the soldiers limp away in defeat, the tribe comes back together. Silently they build a giant pyre and burn their dead upon it. Amir watches Kherga's body burn, clasping MC's hand tightly in his. They stand there until the fire burns out and Amir's brothers' and sisters' souls have flown to the sky.
BITTER END:
The tribe reinstate Amir as their chief. After the ceremony Amir escorts MC to the edge of the Hills. Though she will miss him, she simply cannot leave behind civilisation. Whether she will stay in Ziya or begin a new life in some other city, she is not sure. But she has a choice, which is more than she has ever had before.
They share one final embrace, then MC turns and walks away. She feels Amir's eyes on her back until he is so far away that he is no longer even a blur on the horizon.
SWEET END:
With newfound respect and gratitude for Hani, and with Amir's blessing, the tribe choose her as their new chief. After the ceremony Amir escorts MC to the edge of the Hills to say a final farewell. MC makes it ten steps before turning and running back to Amir. She asks if she can stay with him. He is kissing her before she finishes the question.
Tumblr media
Free from their old responsibilities, MC and Amir find a place to settle in the Hills just for themselves. Amir is teaching her to swim. Exhausted from the lessons (and perhaps more than that) they lie on the bank, lazily playing with each other's hair. Just like the legendary lovers that Amir once told her about, he marks MC's shoulder with a bite. She does the same to him, and their bond is forever sealed.

Fun story idea I’ve been thinking about but am too busy to write: So the Rebellion sends some intel agents to go check and see what Saw is doing and one of them is Kallus because he studied Saw’s tactics after his first unfortunate run in with him. Saw, of coarse, finds the agents and either captures or slaughters them. However, Kallus is saved by ANOTHER resistance group that is on Onderon.
They take him to their base and patch him up. While there, he learns that the reason this resistance hasn’t joined with the Rebellion is because they have such limited supplies that they don’t even have personal coms or ships of any sort. Because of this he is basically stranded with them so he decides to help out with their operations. Even though he’s injured he helps train their spies and even bonds with the resistance high command.
He’s surprised to learn that this resistance doesn’t mind him being ex-imp. He thought they would gut him for sure upon him telling them but they’re just a strange mix between understanding and pity.
Meanwhile the Ghost crew is freaking out because they got word, after a couple weeks with strange radio silence, from base that the intel team on Onderon had gone missing. Zeb is ready to tear Onderon apart to find his boyfriend/mate and it’s taking everything in him not to storm into command and ask what the hell they were thinking. Draven is up in arms about it since he sent some of his best agents out there (it’s actually cause they’re basically his kids but he won’t admit it to the other departments). The Crew decide to go solo (with the help of Draven) and see if they can find Kallus and the other agents.
When they land they have a confrontation with Saw and he goads them by saying he’ll release the agents and Kallus if they help him with one job. The crew reluctantly agrees but remain on their toes around him the whole time. It comes to a point where Saw leaves them for dead and they’re trying to find a way to get out of the situation they’re in.
Or an alternative where they start throwing hands immediately and start losing only because Saw has numbers. Maybe this allows an encounter with Zeb and Saw’s Lasat merc as well. The merc taunts Zeb that after this he’ll just go and finish the job he started years ago by killing Kallus. This sends Zeb into a berserker rage (and maybe Hera overhears and begins a more intense Mom Mode).
Either way the other resistance group bursts in and helps them escape. They take the crew back to base and one member of the resistance gets a strange feeling and jokingly says “You wouldn’t happen to be the Specters now would you?” and proceeds to short circuit when they say yes.
That member leads them to Kallus in a hurry. I think at this point Kallus would still be pretty injured from the previous attack so they’re led to the makeshift medbay where he’s getting a checkup. Cue a heartfelt reunion. Zeb, worried sick as he was, hugs Kallus close and begins to purr. The others join in on a group hug.
They get Kallus off planet after giving the resistance there communications and contact with the rebellion. Kallus ends up working closely with that resistance all the way to the end of the war. He invites their high command, who he considers his siblings just like Zeb does with Sabine and Ezra, to his wedding with Zeb.

so.. uhm knotting/breeding fics recommendations? 👉👈
I am.. very sorry to tell you this, but I don’t actually have much. I don’t follow anyone or read much in the way of Haikyuu Omegaverse fics (since, well, there aren’t a lot). There’s one, Feral, which I enjoyed (and it’s Bokuto💕). Breeding on the other hand (with no Omegaverse) — I can do. I only indulge in a few men, so options aren’t very diverse. I also included the summaries (if applicable)
— hubby Bokuto and wifey reader-chan (I love all of their works so I recommend checking them out) and it is only a drabble
Sister, Mine — in which brother Bokuto wants his sister all for himself (yandere and incest, so be warned)
Delusional Fool (2) — summary: Fukurodani’s ace has a massive crush on you, its a pity you don’t feel the same way. This is yandere and the first part doesn’t have the breeding kink, but I’d recommend checking it out if you like yandere!Bokuto (I know I do)
Reunion — summary: Three years has passed since you got your heart broken by your one true love Bokuto Koutarou. A high school reunion is about to take place at Fukurodani Academy. What will happen when you finally meet your ex boyfriend? and it’s part of an nsfw collab which you can find here and I highly recommend checking out the Oikawa piece (which includes some dark content, but it is breeding)
Perfect — summary: The perfect couple always has children. Multiple children. A full family. A house full of laughter and home-cooked meals. And you two are the epitome of a perfect couple. So why are you still so hesitant about taking the next big step? ALSO part of an nsfw collab
don’t hate me, step bro — summary: College should be fun, especially with your nii-san around, but nii-san hasn’t been as kind as you thought he would be. That’s okay. His team mate is pretty cute. The first part does not have breeding, but it has creep!Sakusa which is nice
— Semi and noncon breeding kink, part of Seita’s Kinktober special.
— also from Seita with Akaashi and Suga + breeding and dumbification and this is headcanons

a thousand miles away (from the day that we started) (WIP)
Five years after his break up with Louis and ten since they've left school, Harry finds himself hosting a reunion at his family bungalow, having to face his ex again and the feelings he had left behind.
Or, a time capsule au
A Twist Of Fate (59k)
Or a Just My Luck Au in which Louis, who apparently is the luckiest man in the world according to his friends, might have his fate and luck twisted when he crosses path with a handsome and mysterious bloke dressed up as Zorro at Syco Entertainment Press Corp’s Halloween party.
Make Your Heart Remember Me (97k)
When Harry’s daughter auditions for The Voice Kids singing One Direction, Louis unexpectedly finds himself remembering a boy from his past. This time, he hopes to have another chance to make sure he won’t let him slip away.
Can I bother you for a sex? (16k)
Reason #40 – Called/texted the wrong person, but he was into it anyway  
When Harry mistexts Louis, Louis realises that he wouldn't mind Harry bothering him with anything, especially not with sex.
Love Is On The Radio (35k)
To win a pair of tickets to watch Manchester United playing, Louis may have possibly lied to Nick Grimshaw on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, asking Harry, his best friend, to be his boyfriend. Problem is - Harry has always been in love with Louis and so, this Valentine’s he’s gonna see his dreams come true, with a tiny bit of a twist, in order to watch the football team they have loved together since they were kids.
Bright Eyes (26k)
Amongst the many things Louis hated at the moment, there was one thing that somehow still brought a little bit of hope into his days. Even if it was to come back home just to see Harry’s face, Harry’s bright green eyes, that alone made everything better somehow.
That night, seeing Harry smiling at him, it made his life a hundred times better than it had been for all those months he had already been there.
“What the fuck are you doing, Tomlinson?” Louis spoke to himself, closing his eyes at the sensation of the cold breeze. “You can’t let yourself fall for him, you just can’t. You don’t even know him. You aren’t even friends with him, fuck,” he shook his head, now looking up at the sky, trying to make out the moon amid the heavy clouds. “You can’t, otherwise you’ll never leave this place.”
Love Like Wildfire (21k)
Louis was an Omega and a Prefect. Harry was an Alpha and a little rascal. They were mates, drawn to each other since they first met in the Hogwarts Express. They worked well like that, or at least they tried, which only made their relationship way more interesting.
Friday I’m In Love (30k)
Or the one where Harry works at the coffee shop and Louis goes there almost every day and Harry is head over heels for him, making his love life look like a The Cure song. Inspired by Friday I’m in Love by The Cure (obviously).
There Is A Light (17k)
Christmas/New Years AU in which Harry and Louis are single parents and they meet at an odd encounter at the toy shop and somehow, they end up together, bonded by their little ones.
Hopelessly Devoted To You (2k)
The one where Harry gets home to find a sleepy Louis watching Grease while waiting for him.
A Way of Keeping You Inside (Ink) (5k)
Or the one in which Louis thinks Harry's "Hi" tattoo is stupid and doesn't get its meaning. Only until he does and also gets his first tattoo.
Home (1k)
The one in which for some reason Larry didn’t come out at the end of the tour and even though they had changed management, for publicity purposes, they still have to wait a few months to come out. So this happens during their break while they are at home.
The One After The Anniversary Concert (1,5k)
Harry talks to a couple on stage about their wedding anniversary on September 28th.
