Remy I miss you I love you also. Titus. I love him and miss him. And also Nightlight reader. Babies. Beloved.
[I had am old blurbo with Nightlight and Titus I scrapped. Here's one for him and Remmy too]
Remmy finding Nightlight Reader at a thrift store while looking for more dolls to add to his collection of antiques. They're the most beautiful "doll" he's never seen- (anything that has a humanoid form and is made of plastic, wood, cotton is a doll to Remmy- even androids). He takes the android home - planning to clean them up and give them a comfortable spot in his room. When Remmy touches the heart on their chest-
"Powering on.......backup battery at 12% percent....Accessing memory...No memories found... error...error...err-"
"Ah!.. That was scary. Hm, where did I end up now? Oh! Hello, tiny person - are you my new owner?"
Remmy instantly falls in love seeing this robot pick up on the dolls on his bed and speaking to it as a normal person. "Um, actually..I think that's me."
"Whoa! Where did you come from? My apologies, owner - what should I call you?
Remmy falls more in love with Nightlight by the second. They're so caring, and warm, and they love to play with his dolls as much as he does. They would follow his every command as part of their programming, but Remmy hardly feels the need to order them around because he knows they'll never leave him and for that he'd do anything from them. Stays awake all night until nightlight carries him to bed making new clothes for them. Buys all the books he needs to repair any minor damages they might have - and completely erase any trace of their memories of the past.
All Remmy needs is Nightlight. All Nightlight needs is Remmy.
-
Titus is given Nightlight Reader as a present from his guards after finding the android in a landfill on earth and repairing them to working order- The emperor has been more irritable than usual- if he dislikes this bot, his guards pray that smashing them to bits will be enough to quell his anger at least for a time. The guards present the android to their king and wait-
"What have you brought to bore me with now?'
"We believe it is an earth made machine designed to relieve stress for humans-"
The emperor chuckles. "Is that so?~ I have been rather pent up recently, and it isn't a complete eyesore, but you are aware of our difference in size, yes? Are you certain it won't break on first use?"
"Er, not in that exact way, your highness. You see, they-"
Titus huffs. "Then what good is it?"
"Just....allow me to turn them on. Please place your finger on their heart, your highness."
"This is ridiculous...."
The emperor does as instructed
"Powering on....Battery at 100%...System rebooting."
"Mm....Huh? What a strange place... Are you my new own..er? Oh, owner- your stress levels are dangerously high - they're increasing by the second! Why won't I sing you a lullaby while you relax with your favorite drink? I know lots, but I can always make up new ones - maybe one about your pretty eyes."
"That..... actually sounds wonderful. I haven't had a decent night of rest in ages. It's humorous to me how you were able to figure that out in seconds when these fools have been with me for centuries. I think I'm going to enjoy your company more than I thought."
Titus cannot go or sleep anywhere which his little nightlight. Feeling their heated, smaller form is all thats needed to knock him out like a light. Nightlight Reader is restricted from joining Titus in meetings for that sole reason. This whole ass tyrant sits in his chair pouting like a child until he can reunite with his little love. Decorates them like the doll they are with jewelry and adorable outfits. Whenever Titus is in one of his rages, guards quickly run off to retrieve nightlight from wherever they're exploring in the palace

Author's note: The divine couple have a nose kiss in the start :]. Renny is short for parent,a mom/dad term for non binary people. I rushed through the ending because i want to sleep but also wanna end this chapter lol,so i fast forwarded it.
ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝟚: A dinner date and a demon bunny disaster
////////////////////
Remy and Mars laugh lightheartedly while gently touching their noses together,leaving the house after opening the door.
"Okay kids,you have to behave for your oldest sister so that she doesn't lose her mind,me and your renny won't be back in a while as we're going to focus on us for tonight" Remy says to his darling angel children while Jojo is scowling from having to deal with 10 younger kids for the night.
"Okay we'll be good!" Randy and Rowan say to their father Remy in unison then mischievously smirking soon afterwards.
The other kids nod in agreement as well. And with that,Mars gives ALL of their adoptive kids goodbye kisses and then closes the door,going to a fancy restaurant with Remy.
"Okay now as usual,we'll be following some strict rules that will result in punishment if they're not followed-" Jojo says to her siblings but then she gets cut off by them all trying to tickle her.
"AGH AGH WAIT STOP AHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHA STOP IT I NEED TO ORGANIZE YOU ALL UGH HAHAHAHAHA" Jojo exclaims ,annoyed while being tickled.
"Never." Danny and Momo say to her while proceeding to tickle her harder.
Meanwhile Remy and Mars are having fun at the restaurant,eating some good food kissing and also collecting people's souls/making others fall in love with one another.
"Ooh marshy help me get this one. She died from a broken heart aka suicide after a nasty breakup,maybe you could give her some advice before i tell her the news of her actually being dead" Remy says to Mars while pointing at the blonde haired teenage girl nearby.
"Alright then baby." Mars says to Remy and then they go over to the girl,tapping her shoulder. "Hm?." the girl says to Mars,confused by the sudden interaction.
"Hello madam. I can sense that you have gone through some love troubles recently. Perhaps i could offer you some advice to help get through them." Mars says to the girl,who nods in agreement.
"Okay.. My name is abigail. My girlfriend was being a real douche to me last year because her popularity as an influencer got into her head,with her treating me like her video staff that she keeps bossing around and invalidating all the time. And uhm.. it was okay at first as she treated me like her girlfriend on occasion,but then she got more and more abusive as time went on,so i tried to break up with her but i had a nasty fight with her which ended up in me getting a lot of bruises from her punches,and i only officially broke up with her after yelling "WE'RE OVER BITCH" while running away from our apartment. And even then,after everything she did,i still loved her for some fucked up reason. I got so depressed from our separation after realizing that i still loved that bitchy fuck,and so.. i killed myself,or tried to as it failed. I jumped into a lake and purposely put some gag in my mouth so that i could die,but i woke up near the lake and then came here. So that failed heh." Abigail explains to Mars,who just stares at her in horror.
"Oh dear,i'm so sorry for what you had to go through Abigail. Well.. if it makes you feel better,i went through the same thing before meeting my lovely husband Remy. And i was able to overcome it by making new memories with friends,accepting that my asshole ex will never love me back now that they've changed,and trying to occupy myself with my job hobbies as well as trying to improve myself instead of thinking of that bastard." Mars says to Abigail,who smiles upon meeting someone who understands.
"Thank you you are a good-" Abigail says to Mars and she tries to hug them but then she gets cut off by Remy walking over and grabbing her by the shoulders.
"You're dead. I'm sorry to break it to you but you're actually dead. You "waking up" was just your soul coming back to earth after your body died." Remy says to Abigail.
"Wh-Whuh. I'm dead?. Are you the grim reaper or something?." Abigail says to Remy,knowing how this kinda stuff works. "Yeah. You're dead and yes i am. Let's go to the afterlife Abby." Remy says to Abigail then teleports her to the underworld (what afterlife is called in this universe).
"How rude of you. We were having a moment Rems." Mars says to Remy,frowning as they're a bit annoyed by what Remy did.
"I know,but i was too excited to eat our food and spend more time with you. Since it's our first date after we've finally gotten time off from our human jobs. A little interruption would be fine if it was to be with your awesome and dashingly handsome husband right?~." Remy says to Mars,trying to rizz up his spouse and turn their attention back to him.
Mars blushes from Remy's flirty tone and then they smile,kissing Remy on the cheek.
"I guess so. Let's go eat our food Stud." Mars says to Remy who they drag back to their table,with remy blushing from the stud comment.
///////////////////////
Jojo has stopped being attacked with tickles by her siblings,so now she's making sandwiches for all of them.
"Sissy can i have just the bread?." Rocket says to Jojo with pleading eyes (they 🥺) and then Jojo gives them the bread.
"Hey jo help me with this science project. I don't know chemistry for shit." Fox asks Jojo.
"Wait i'm making everyone's food." Jojo says to Fox who just rolls her eyes from annoyance and keeps doing the project by herself.
"Bunny butt,you're ugly." Danny says to Jojo,who ignores the comment and continues making the sandwiches.
"Big sis do babies come from trees?. My classmate told me that they do." Phoenix asks Jojo.
"No. They come from the sky,storks and stuff." Jojo says,annoyed from having to make very specific and detailed sandwiches while talking to everyone.
5 minutes later and Jojo is going insane from the talking while making sammies for her siblings. She then turns into a demon bunny and wrecks the place due to sheer stress. She growls and screeches,with fox trying to help her turn back somehow.
"Hey! Hey! Stay calm Big sis,Stay Calm! Or you'll destroy the house and Dad will be really mad." Fox says to Jojo,who continues being her monster self.
Meanwhile Remy and Mars are being in love and talking to each other about themselves in the past.
Fast forward to a few hours later and now the two are home,to a surprisingly tidy not destroyed house and a normal sleeping Jojo. Remy passed out from drinking too much whiskey.
"Woah. The place is sparkling. Well done kids,i hope you all didn't stress out your sister too much." Mars says to their adoptive children,with Fox nodding in agreement whilst laughing sheepishly.
"Yup. Everything was totally A-Okay before you got here. All good. Ehehehe.." Fox says while hiding the broken furniture in a trash bag.
"Right.. I'm going to ask Jojo herself tomorrow then when she wakes up. And if her answer about what happend here before we arrived is 'chaos',you're all grounded." Mars says sternly to Fox,with the other kids looking at her annoyed since they know they're all going to be grounded because it's her fault (not really they just wanted someone to blame lol).
Mars then takes Remy to their bedroom,while Fox takes Jojo to hers,everyone else goes to bed after eating the dinner Jojo premade before the sandwiches and then wake up,grounded. The end,for now. To be continued...

hi remy!! another 🎲 for beejhawk perhaps? lol :-)
(FINALLY GETTING BACK TO THESE a little at a time, please forgive me for the wait!
Tumblr media
You get! A kiss on the nose! Have some post-war established forties-something men because I keep putting BJ through the blender in everything else. They deserve this)
Hawkeye is dabbing away the last of the shaving cream that got pushed to his neck when something about how he shifts makes the bathroom light hit him at an odd angle, and like a moth to a flame, his gaze skitters right to...it. To be fair, it's almost impossible not to see it, what with it being right there on his face, taking up an unfair amount of real estate, but...it. There it is. Unavoidable.
Nose.
Every day, he seems to be noticing something else about how his body is changing that gives him pause, but there's still a wide array of options that can take his mind off it—maybe even prove that however he's seeing himself in the mirror is completely untrue. Admittedly, a lot of it has to do with the doting attentions of one extremely enthusiastic lover who, once he's told what the trouble is, will go out of his way to demolish Hawkeye's uncertainty with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball.
Part of that tremendous ease BJ has with Hawk's worries probably has something to do with the decade and a half of experience they have with each other, truth be told. Still feels unreal, when he really considers it. From the minute Rudyard Kipling slithered through the air between them, it felt as if Hawkeye had known BJ Hunnicutt for his whole life. But just like anybody else, they had to fight and claw their way through bickering and misunderstandings and double speak and just downright assholery before they could finally get here, to a charming house in California where, against all odds, they appear to be able to spend the rest of their lives side by side.
They get to be together. They no longer hesitate about sharing the most minute thoughts of affection. God, with the ever shifting landscape around them of free love, how it's permeated down to Castro Street, they're able to even have public dates in a way that Hawkeye had never truly thought would become real. Dates surrounded by people just like them, everybody looking out for each other, smiling as they wander down the sidewalk or into a restaurant by the sheer power of the fact that they can just...hold hands. Kiss. Wrap their arms around each other's waists and claim and know down to their very depths that everyone around them is doing the same.
In a way, it's funny. On nights like this, where Hawk's less concerned about how close he can stand to BJ in public without interlopers starting to whisper, it seems to open up his mind to notice, again, those strange aspects of living in a body that's changing right before his eyes. Love handles. Shiny stretch marks on his thighs. Silvery hair.
And the things that aren't changing, but just becoming more apparent every day. Like...nose.
"How's it coming?" BJ asks as he wanders in from the bedroom, fingers cleverly securing his tie.
Hawk turns his head this way and that, eyes not moving from his face in the mirror. He ponders. Frowns. "D'you think my parents should've named me Rudolph?"
"Like Valentino?"
"No, like..." Hawk blinks and finally turns his attention to Beej. "Really?"
BJ shrugs with a little smile. "Well, yeah, hello." He strolls in and tucks himself up close to Hawk's back, resting the side of head against his. "You seeing what I'm seeing?"
It's all but impossible to look away from BJ's handsome face through the glass, actually, the way his grays have brought out the elegance of his mustache, how deeply the wrinkles at the edges of his eyes sink in when he grins like this. He's so solid. Safe. Sexy as hell. "You know what it does to me when you wear that tie, right?"
As his eyes turn into smoldering diamonds, Beej's lips curve into a lethal smirk. "Sorry. Losing my memory in my old age. You'll have to remind me later."
"You'll be lucky if I let you get out of the car before I'm fucking reminding you," Hawk teases.
BJ keeps his gaze right on Hawkeye's as he leans forward and presses a hot kiss behind his ear, the kind that makes Hawk hum and go a little weak in the knees. "We have a reservation," BJ reminds him, as though he's not touching the small of Hawkeye's back to keep him steady and press him into the bathroom counter all at the same time.
"Fuck you," Hawk murmurs.
BJ laughs, winks, then steps away to let Hawkeye get a deep breath to settle himself. It would be a shame to miss out on some amazing cheesecake when he can just let BJ get through dinner unruffled and then blow him in the front seat, if Hawk's back'll let him.
Maybe it won't. But wouldn't it be fun to try?
Hawkeye hangs up the hand towel, but the moment he looks back at the mirror to check his hair, his stirring thoughts go dead silent. "Really, though." As he lifts his chin, a combination of the lightbulbs they use in the bathroom and his skin, warm from the California summer, makes the very tip of his nose seem even more bulbous and flushed than usual. "Look at this."
BJ hums in question. He settles his hand on his waist as he leans into the counter for a better angle. "At what?"
"This! Are you kidding?" Hawkeye gestures at his nose more grandly than he did that new bike he bought Beej for Christmas the year before last. "Look at it."
"What about it?"
"I swear it's getting redder. Bigger. I don't know." As Hawk screws up his face, his expression briefly reminds himself of a cat, disdainfully analyzing the food that was just set before it.
BJ chuckles. "I really have no idea what you're talking about. It looks exactly the same as it has since the first day I met you."
Somehow that's an even more horrifying thought, that Hawk's gone this long thinking he's some handsome, sexy ladykiller—mankiller? That one doesn't flow as well. Maybe neither of them do. He shakes his head to try and dispel the thoughts before they can go racing away from him. "Okay, sure. Forget it. It's fine." It's not. He's fixating, stuck, compulsively spinning his mind around it so that even when he looks down to grab his bottle of cologne, all he sees in his head is a bright red berry stuck at the end of a crooked hose.
Beej makes a quiet sound—one that Hawk instinctively understands to be his problem-solving hum—before he slides a hand into Hawkeye's back pocket, against all odds managing to get his thick fingers in no matter how form-fitting the trousers currently are. "I think I could pick just about any part of you out of a lineup."
Hawkeye snorts, the corners of his lips quirking despite himself. "Oh, yeah, kind of like weeding out the weird freaky misshapen apple from the bunch."
"Nope."
He cocks his head, considers another angle. "Because when Erin's not visiting, I'm allergic to anything that's not a bathrobe."
"Close," BJ murmurs, his tone shaking only slightly with a repressed laugh.
"Okay, okay, okay." Hawk waves through the air. "I'll bite. Why?"
"Because you ruined any other body for me."
Hawk pauses, still clutching the bottle of cologne, staring hard at the faucet.
"You're not gonna believe me. But try." BJ nuzzles Hawk's cheek, the words inescapable from so close. "When Erin and I swung by SF MoMA the last time she was here—when you were pulling that emergency shift, remember?—I kept having this feeling when I was walking past some of the paintings, the sculptures. I couldn't really figure it out. It's all gorgeous stuff. Erin kept pointing out some of the most incredible details I've ever seen. She's got an eye for it, I swear. But it took me until I got home and came into the bathroom and you were in the tub, and I just...I saw you, and I realized that every person depicted in those masterpieces, yeah, sure, they were objectively lovely, and also they stirred nothing in me. They were some of the most lifelike pieces I've had the pleasure to see, but they were so incredibly fake. They couldn't hold my attention because they weren't you."
All at once, Hawk can't bear to look at him, turns his head completely away. It's strange. It's so fucking weird how they've been together all this time, and yet there are moments where BJ will see him so vividly that Hawkeye half-wonders if he's been walking around in a blur up until then.
But Beej's palm finds his cheek then, and Hawk feels it all the way down to his toes. No, there's nothing fuzzy about life for him. He's been seeing in brilliant clarity since Kimpo.
Slowly, slowly, BJ guides Hawk back around, like a planet rotating toward the sun, and the moment they lock eyes, Hawkeye finds his face so gently cradled in both of BJ's massive hands. Suddenly there's no thoughts of noses, of stretch marks, of sore backs. There's just a silent invitation to look and be looked at in turn.
Hawk can't stop himself from resting his palms on BJ's softening waist as he drinks in the sight of him. It's incredible how impossible it is now to separate the potent reaction he has to the lines on his skin from the way his muscles melt in relief that he's here at all. As Hawk falls deep into his blue stare, his blood sings for him as though they're magnetized. There's so little distinction between the visceral physical attraction and the comfort that he can tell now has only come from time, time, and more time.
BJ thumbs over Hawkeye's skin. "You know what this face reminds me of?" he asks quietly.
Hawkeye considers. A single butterfly begins beating its wings right at the base of his stomach. As desperately as he's trying to flip through his mental rolodex to find a joke, a quip, the combination of BJ's touch and the longing in his gaze stops any playful comments stone dead. "No."
"It reminds me that you're here. You're real. You're not some dream." Those stunning eyes wander palpably all over Hawk's expression, from his forehead to his cheeks to his chin, leaving no part of him unloved. When BJ's fingers brush along the creases at the edge of Hawk's eyes, Beej bites his bottom lip for a moment. "That we made it. That we're living. That no matter who was taken from us, we're still marching forward together. That every day, there's a part of you that changes—just a few dozens of billions of cells—" The casual nature of that number makes Hawkeye chuckle, makes BJ's grin widen. "—but that even when you change, you're asking me to come right along with you. Because you don't need me to stay the same. And neither do you. Because what matters is we're making the choice every day to love the man we see right there, right in that moment, and finding we never want to make another decision but to stay. To learn each other's minds and passions and bodies over and over again."
The fervency of Beej's words pick up the longer he talks, and Hawkeye leans into him, bumping their foreheads together with a shuddering exhale. "You're such a bastard," Hawk finally manages to whisper back, smiling so broadly that his cheeks hurt. "How do I follow up something like that? What am I gonna say, ditto? C'mon. It's not enough that you took all the stars in the sky and put them in your eyes, but you've gotta take all the perfect words too?"
"Look who's talking," BJ repeats in a voice that's so lush, so sweet that Hawk could never doubt it.
BJ cups Hawk's cheek more deliberately, and without another thought, Hawkeye closes his eyes and purses his lips, waiting for a millionth kiss from the man he gave up so little for and yet gained so fucking much from. But there's no gentle brush over his mouth. Instead, faint but intimate warmth presses right to the tip of his nose, and Hawk, already at the edge of emotional overwhelm, feels his legs buckle as he gasps and leans his weight into BJ.
Beej catches him, because of course he does, his arms wrapping around Hawkeye's waist in the exact space that was made for them. He busses their noses together, back and forth, and Hawk drags up fistfuls of BJ's shirt over his spine, pulling it out from under his belt, and lets out a whimper.
"I love your nose," BJ whispers, the heat of his words tickling Hawk's face. "I love your grays. I love your wrinkles. I love your figure, all the soft parts, all the knobby bits. I've never felt like this about anybody in my life. And every day, there's something new about you that lights me on fire. So hush. The next time you see something you don't feel like belongs on your body, you just come find me, and I'll make sure it feels plenty welcome, huh?"
Hawk barks out an unexpected laugh. "I love you so much. You asshole. We've got a reservation that you made. We don't have time for me to blubber up with the waterworks."
It's the silence between them that's always been a warning. Hawkeye risks a glance and finds BJ already smirking at him, toothy and dangerous, and just as Hawk's heart starts to flutter, he's already hopping away—but not before BJ finds his ticklish belly and grazes over it.
"No!" Hawk cackles without thought, leaping from one foot to the next in a shot of adrenaline that makes him feel like he's barely thirty again. "Don't you—don't you dare!"
"I'm just making you laugh," Beej taunts as he comes after him. He makes an impressive lunge, but Hawk manages to spin out through the bathroom door and scamper across the carpet. "Aw, c'mon, babe—"
"Menace! Dick! Ass!" When BJ makes another grab, Hawk somehow manages to duck under his arms. "Pri—no!"
As Beej catches his wrist at the last possible moment, he drags Hawkeye in and pins him gently up against the hallway wall with his broad form, kissing his nose, his cheek, his jawline. "Love you," he breathes.
Thoughts of cheesecake rapidly slipping away, Hawk tips his head back with a shivery laugh. "Love you too—" And then cuts off with a squirm the second his evil lover presses fingers into his waist. "Hate! HATE!"

Introduction Post
Hello, my name is CJ Nightingale, and this is my blog dedicated to my OCs, their story, and the development of said story!! I'm making this blog for the sake of having a designated place to talk about my OCs, and so that I have some people to hold me accountable for actually making story progress, since I've been struggling a bit to actually sit down and make progress on getting the comic going. I think having a blog about it will help me stay motivated. Hopefully. Lol
A little bit of story related information:
This story has over 36 very important characters, not including antagonists and "true" side characters. This story takes place over the course of about 7 or 8 years, in 5 acts, taking the characters from middle school into early college. It's based in what I believe would be described as an "urban fantasy" setting, which looks similar to our world but is quite different. The story is meant to be mostly lighthearted, but there will be very intense moments and emotional damage (and a little blood sometimes too, as there will be fantasy violence).
I will make proper posts describing things in more detail as I go, but for the time being here's a brief introduction to each of the main characters:
Skylar: Acts 1-5, sarcastic, takes no BS, a bit of an enigma, Lukas' twin
Jesse: Acts 1-5, scatterbrained, just out here doing his best
Rin: Acts 1-5, mischievous, enjoys trying new things
Zander: Acts 1-5, smart, unbothered, designated "responsible dude"
Tabitha: Acts 1-5, bubbly, arguably too much faith in humanity
Lukas: Acts 1-5, looks more chill than he actually is, emotionally intelligent (most of the time), Skylar's twin
Lydia: Acts 1-5, too smart for her own good, very good with power tools
Marcus: Acts 1-5, quiet, listens a lot and knows more than he should, arguably drinks too much caffeine
Jules: Acts 2-5, highly approachable and talkative, likes poofy dresses
Dillon: Acts 2-5, skeptical of people, likes roller derby, hates group projects
Takuma: Acts 2-5, Ambitious, sarcastic, has doodled on every piece of clothing they own
Mariah Mae: (Kind of a side character) Acts 2-5, wildly peppy, a bit of a nerd, highly authentic person
Rea: Acts 2-5, perpetually has her head in the clouds, bewildered by humans
Dani: Acts 2-5, highly intuitive, knows all the things, likes music and their service dog
Booker: Acts 2-5, tends to accidentally run his mouth, likes basketball, bass guitar, and his friends
Ollie: Acts (1) 3-5, a little bit reactive, closed off, terrifyingly good at sleight of hand and at lying (do not play poker with him)
Meklit: Acts (1) 3-5, levelheaded, blunt, likes people and dislikes shoes
Gavin: Acts 3-5, both lawyer smart and a bit naïve, cellist, keeps putting himself in situations by accident
Goldie: Acts (1) 3-5, a bit shy, puts a lot of pressure on himself but looks really really chill at all times, chronic doodler
Blake: Acts 1-5, very antsy, very tired, very full of nervous energy, makes some poor decisions
Zaahira: Acts 4-5, genuinely nice person, cares about people, prefers plants
Wulf: Acts (3???) 4-5, impulsive, giggly, just happy to be here, on the run from the government
Akachi: Acts (1) 3-5, extremely ambitious, aesthetically inclined, color coordinated at all times
Selene: Acts 4-5, high tolerance for shenanigans, very bubbly, just out here having a good time
Sakura: Acts 4-5, detail oriented, loves stickers, can borderline read minds/hj
Remi: Acts 4-5 (probably??? gonna have to figure that out a bit more), very smart, very sarcastic, very giggly, very happy to be here
Leah: Acts 1-5, insomniac, a bit pretentious, makes some poor decisions
Sylvi: Acts (1) 3-5, borderline annoying theatre kid in the best way possible, very good singer
Karim: (Arguably a side character) Acts 4-5 (maybe idk), arguably too much faith in humanity, enjoys puns
Jono: Acts (3) 5, loves music, loses his train of thought frequently, looks more nervous than he is
Ivanna: Acts (3) 5, tough, good at water polo, believes in doing the right thing
Sovanna: Acts (3) 4-5, super chill, loves stickers, loves travelling, detail oriented
Ash: Act 5, under a ton of pressure, a bit reactive, out here trying his best
Coral: Act 5, can be hard to talk to, big listener, takes herself very seriously
Sib: (arguably a side character) Act 5, way too much energy at all times, good sense of humor, Ari's twin
Ari: (arguably a side character) Act 5, tired, quiet, talks more to animals than he does people
So that's a brief introduction to the non-antagonist characters, I'll make actual introduction posts for them later, but also if y'all want to ask questions about any of them before I get to that lmk!! Also feel free to ask questions about anything related to this story, I'd be happy to talk about it, and it might motivate me to help get stuff done.
If you found this blog just randomly and not from my fanart page, you can find that at @cj-the-random-artist , and you can find my website which has more art of my OCs at the link down here:
If / when I start uploading this story as a comic, I'll update this post with that information as well. That's all for this long introductory post, and I hope y'all enjoy this long winded thing and enjoy this little blog here!! Have good day lovelies :D

Always You
Summary:
As a young boy, Virgil often swooped in to save his geeky and timid childhood best friend, Roman, from his bullies. After years have passed without seeing each other, his friend has come home from abroad and now a completely different person than before, and ready to sweep Virgil off his feet. Virgil, of course, falls head over heels for the other.
AO3 - Part 1, Part 2
Content Warning: Swearing, Food mention, Medication mention, slight innuendo
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Chapter Two
"So your old friend now turned hottie just came back from Italy is the reason why you skipped work yesterday? I didn't expect that from you, Virgil, but get it I guess."Remy, Virgil's co-worker, stated with a smirk.
Virgil groaned as he face palmed in embarrassment, "Fucking hell, Remy. Don't say it like that!".
They were chilling behind the counter, waiting for a customer to arrive and order something or whatever. The cafe was relatively quiet, but nothing out of the ordinary.
"Plus, that's not even the reason. I wanted to help mom with housework."Virgil sighs as he leans against the counter, resting his chin on his wrist.
"Speaking of which, how's your mom doing by the way?"Remy questions curiously. Virgil shrugs, "She's been doing well recently, though sometimes she gets really ill so I have to be there with her all the time.". He explains.
"Oof.. That sucks, babes, but I'm sure she appreciates having you there for her anyways."Remy assures him with a sympathetic grin.
Virgil chuckles weakly in response, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure she does.". He pauses before adding, "Anyway, I have to call mom to check on her.". Virgil says before heading to the break room as he pulls out his phone.
•=•
He dialed his mother's number once he reached the breakroom and waited a moment until she picked up. When she answered, Virgil greeted, "Hey mom! How are you feeling?".
"Hello, dear. I'm doing alright, a little bit tired though but nothing unusual. How about you?"His mother answers cheerfully before saying, "Well, I actually had to ask you something...".
"I'm doing alright, not much work going on here. And yeah, what is it? Do you need anything for me to buy?"Virgil queries. His mother hummed before answering, "Well, actually yes, can you buy me my medications once you get home? The ones here are almost finished.".
"Yeah, no problem! Anything else you want?"Virgil replies as he fiddles with the ribbon of his apron.
"Actually, could you also do some grocery shopping? I can't do it since my knees are hurting terribly. I hope I'm not bothering you a lot, sweetie.".
Virgil smiles softly, "Not at all, I wouldn't mind taking care of that stuff myself.". His mother let out a relieved sigh, "Thank you, dear. You're heaven sent. I'll send you the list of the things you have to buy.".
Virgil hummed in confirmation, "Sure thing, mom. Anyway, I have to go back to work now, take care and rest well. Love you, mom.".
"Love you too, dear. Bye!".His mother responded.
Virgil hung up and walked out of the break room. As soon as he got out, he heard Remy chatting with someone, probably a customer, about something.
"–You look good. Do you work out?~"Remy purred. Gosh, is he flirting with a customer again??
"Yes, I do it quite often."
Virgil stiffened slightly when he realized who that voice belonged to. When he finally arrived at the counter, his guess was right. It was Roman.
Roman noticed him walking towards them, and flashed a friendly smile, "Hi there, Virgil. What are you doing here?"He greeted. Virgil gave him a shy wave and mumbled, "Hey, Roman. Uhm, I work here.".
Roman's eyes lit up and grinned brightly, "Really? That's awesome!"He exclaimed. Virgil smiled back shyly at him, his cheeks turning slightly rosy. Roman seemed oblivious to this however as he continued speaking, "Am I bothering you?–".
Virgil shook his head and quickly interrupted him. "Nonono, you're fine. Really, the café is not busy as you can see.". Virgil said, gesturing and the empty place.
"Anyway, what did you order—"
"I already got his order. I'll leave you two while I go make his order."Remy interrupts as he turns on his heel and walks away but not before winking at Virgil playfully.
Virgil blushed heavily and cleared his throat awkwardly before looking back at Roman. "So, uh, what's up?"He said, trying hard not to seem too awkward around the other man.
"I went to find some college to transfer in and I got accepted in that college nearby. Grazie a Dio."Roman explained with a bright grin.
"That's so cool, what's your course by the way?"Virgil asked as he leaned closer towards Roman.
"Film."Roman replied, showing off a confident grin.
"As expected from you,"Virgil said, smiling widely. Roman smiles and rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. After a few moments of comfortable silence between the two of them, Remy was finally done making Roman's coffee.
"Here's your raspberry frappuccino and strawberry cake pop, Roman."Remy announces as he sets them down on the counter top in front of Roman. "Oh, thank you. How much is all of these?"Roman inquired.
"8 dollars and 45 cents."Remy responds nonchalantly.
Roman nodded and pulled out his wallet and took out ten dollars before handing it to Remy. "Keep the change."He says with a smile.
Remy simply stared at him in disbelief but took the money regardless, putting it in the cash register.
"Anyway, I have to go now. See ya later, Virge. And goodbye to you, Remy, it was nice chatting with you too."Roman says before grabbing his drink and cake pop as he heads to the door.
Remy chirps waving at him, "Byee, Roman.".
"Yeah, goodbye, Princey."Virgil calls out which causes Roman to halt momentarily before turning around to face Virgil. Roman smiles lopsidedly at him, "It's been a while since you called me that.". He finally exited the café but not after waving at the two men.
Virgil simply waved back in reply and a small smile planted on his lips.
"You look so smitten it's adorable."
Virgil snapped his head to glare softly at Remy who only smirked at him. "Shut up, Remy." Virgil grumbles softly.
Remy pouted jokingly before chuckling. "Babes, why didn't you tell me your childhood friend was HOT hot? He is eye candy and that herculean body of his is fire! Would smash."Remy gushes about Roman.
Virgil cringes at Remy's comment causing him to roll his eyes in annoyance. "Oh my gosh, Remy. You're disgusting.".
Remy grins and wiggles his eyebrows at Virgil teasingly, "What? Are you jealous I might steal him from you?~". He teased and winked at him again.
Virgil rolled his eyes yet still a light red blush dusted his cheeks as he quickly retorted defensively. "What!? No! You can have him for yourself or whatever."He huffed.
"Aw come on, Viiiiiirgieeee~! We all know that's a lie~".
Virgil sighs deeply and mutters under his breath, "I swear to God, if you don't shut up, I will shove your face into the nearest trash can.".
Remy merely snickers and sticks his tongue out at Virgil, causing the latter to huff and cross his arms stubbornly. "Anyway, you deal with the customers while I clean up the place."The sunglasses-wearing employee says, patting Virgil on the shoulder before walking away from him to clean the tables.
Virgil just lets out another defeated groan, not wanting to deal with the customers but he knew that he'd have to. He was always the one dealing with them anyways.
•=•
Virgil grunted as he struggled carrying two bags of groceries as they were filled up almost completely to the brim. He cursed himself internally as he waddled his way to his house, trying to stop the bags from slipping out of hands.
"Do you need help with that?"A voice behind him called out, startling him. Virgil looked behind him to meet brown eyes staring intently into his own.
"No thank you, I can handle this just fine."He murmured softly and turned back around, hoping the Roman would leave him alone but he didn't.
"Are you sure? They look really heavy."Roman said, stepping a little bit closer and eyeing the bags carefully. Virgil sighed.
"Look, I'm pretty sure I can carry these all alone."he muttered and moved away from him a little bit.
Roman pouted as he stood there looking conflicted, clearly thinking of whether he should continue talking to him or just leave him alone.
Virgil's eye twitched as Roman pouts, unable to resist anymore. He gives up after a moment of hesitation and looks at the Roman. "Ughh, fine. Just carry this one bag for me."Virgil says exasperatedly while holding out one of the grocery bags to Roman.
Roman gratefully accepts it, smiling happily at the smaller male. Virgil blushes lightly and averts his gaze away from Roman.
They walked to Virgil's house in comfortable silence. Neither of them spoke nor attempted to. When they reached Virgil's doorstep, the older man decided to break the silence.
"I'll take it from here Roman. Uhm, thanks by the way."Virgil said as he unlocked the door and opened it. Roman nods and carefully places the grocery bag down.
"You can go home now... Good night, Princey."Virgil finishes as he opens the door, glancing at Roman.
"Yeah, good night too, Virgil."Roman replies, smiling warmly at him. Virgil nods at him one last time before carrying the grocery bags inside, while does that, he hears Roman mutter something softly to him, but he couldn't hear it clearly enough for him to understand.
And as soon as he came back to close the door, Roman was already gone before he could question what the other muttered.
•=•
Roman entered his room, it was the same room he used to share with his brother back then, it was still filled with some of their old stuff. He still wasn't done unpacking his boxes and cleaning the house. The only part he was done cleaning was the kitchen, bathroom and the living room where he was currently sleeping on the last few days.
He starts going through the old boxes he found in the attic, he guesses it was his old toys and books that they left here. And it indeed was. Well, there were some framed pictures and photo albums there too. Now he's questioning why it's been left here or were they forgotten.
Roman flips through the photo album curiously, flipping past old pictures of him and his brother when they were kids, some were family photos and photos of their parents.
It's been a while since he saw these, he felt a pang of melancholy or nostalgia just hit him like a truck. He was happy to see these, happier than ever actually. But he still felt sadness wash over him. It brought back memories of simpler times. Memories of days long past he thought about every single day since then. Oh how he wished to go back in time.
Roman stops flipping the pages when he comes across a certain photograph. He took it out from the plastic sleeve to observe it closer.
It was a picture of a smaller and chubbier boy next to a slightly taller boy, both of them grinning to their ears as they stood side by side. They were in their swimming trunks, seeming as if they just got out of the water, looking happy as ever.
A smile crept onto Roman's face at the memory. It was the summer of 2010, the last time where young Roman and Virgil got to hangout together. The time where everything began to change for the both of them.

For the WIP word guessing game, bite!!
Remy hello this is insane but there is somehow only 1 (one) single instance of "bite" in all of my myriad WIPs and it's one I'm only occasionally chipping away at??? That's below the cut:
“I figure you’re somebody’s dog. I get a lot of strays through here. Just waiting to see if you’re going to bark or bite.”
This from Noir!Hawk, a private detective who has just found BJ in his office, shortly before BJ (sorry) punches his lights out. I should get back to this one I think. It's fun. I love writing guys slouching around and standing in doorways and getting covered in blood, etc. All the noir hits.

hello!! i’m a newcomer but i just wanted to say that your series is so friggen amazing <3 i fancy myself some self-care snakebois and anxiety-ridden driderbois. though roman might actually kill me and i’m terrified of him having the ability to make people fall out of love. what a horrifying thought kxjsjdheh??? anyway!!! i have some questions regarding magic because magic yay worldbuilding <3 my bad if some of these have been asked! as i said, i’m a newcomer aha;;
so if taking away a witches magic makes them no longer a witch, can an old enough witch just die on the spot, or are they biologically however old they were physically (like how the royal fam stopped at around 30) and begin aging at a rate normal for their species? if taking away a witches magic makes them no longer a witch, does giving someone magic make them a witch? and if so, are they then immortal or age slower than previously? are any species (that we know of so far) unable to naturally be witches, and what happens if they’re *given* magic without biologically being able to have it? can a person have TOO much magic? what species do we know of so far and are any of them/will any of them be relevant? i want virgil to be besties with the waitstaff again :((( (not a question but it needed to be said). was sleep messing with virgil’s circadian rhythm? probably not but i just wanted to confirm because he’s a vindictive little shit who totally would 👀
will sleep and virge be spider besties now?,,,,pls i need little weave-and-relieve sessions between the two where they just chill and rant n maybe do each others nails or share weaving tips :))) can virgil croquet or sew or knit or something? because he’d love, probably. it’s great for anxiety (probably, i’m so bad at it i wouldn’t know LOL)
i. am going to cut myself off here before it gets too long. have a good day! <3
- OnlyRoomForHope (would be unanon but i can’t be bothered logging in on right account lmaoo)
@onlyroomforhope
Thank you and welcome! I'm so happy to have you here in my own tiny corner of the fandom! Yeah, we love our self-care snake and anxious spider here. Also, wow, ya'll really latched onto that fact about Roman. As long as Virgil and Janus keep their protections up around him they'll be fine :)
A lot of good questions here and for the most part it looks like they haven't been answered before! This is exciting! *crackles knuckles* Let's dive in, shall we?
So if a witch loses their magic and therefore their immortality they don't just drop dead. Their body is still physically the age it was when they stopped aging, they just begin to age again. This applies to humans, fae are already immortal on their own their immortality just works a bit differently.
Giving someone magic does make them a witch. I think I've mentioned it before, but Remy wasn't born a witch, he got his magic from King Thomas. Gaining his own magic made him a witch and came with all of the perks of being one including immortality. Remy is indistinguishable from any other witch.
Thus far I've only put a lot of thought into humans and fae being witches, but I'd say most highly intelligent sentient species can have witches. Especially the humanoid or partially humanoid ones. So most monsters such as naga, driders, merepeople, centaurs, and vampires can all be witches. Dragons, kelpies, harpies, and sirens cannot.
it's also important to note that I said highly intelligent sentient species. That means beasts are not included. So there are no pheonix, unicorn, bear of bears, or bassilisk witches.
Could someone give a beast or non-witch monster witch magic? Yes. Chaos would happen.
No, a person couldn't have too much magic. Exibit A: Thomas. King Thomas has a ridiculous amount of magic. Should he have that much magic? Absolutely not. That shouldn't be allowed. But, hey, I didn't make the rules (yes I did) and it is what it is.
Now, if you're asking if a lot magic can have negative side effects then yes, it can potentially be overwhelming. If King Thomas got all of his magic at once it would have taken a serious toll on him and at one point he did aquire too much at once and it did take a toll. That was a the very beginning of Thomas's reign and he depended on Nico a lot to hide it. After an adjustment period he was fine, though. After that he learned to take magic gradually, one or two witches at a time with breaks in between.
Okay, so so far in the series we know of humans (obviously), fae, driders, and naga. We also know that fae are split into seelie and unseelie. Only humans and seelie are going to play major rolls in the series. As tempted as I am to play around with the many subcatagories of fae and the other species, I'm trying to keep this as simple as I can. We may see them play minor roles as in individual characters but that's it.
That being said, I am planning the brief appearance of a third major species.
Now, there are many minor species of monsters but those all defer to either the seelie or unseelie making fae a major species. Humans are also a major species. The third major species that is indepented of and can stand toe-to-toe with fae and humans is spirits. Spirits will barely appear in the series so I don't plan on doing a lot of wolrd building for them.
So all in all, only humans and fae will really be relevant.
I want Virgil to be friends with the staff again, too ;_;
Remy totally would mess with Virgil's sleep, however he was on Earth up until the day he was introduced to Virgil, so no, he didn't have anything to do with Virgil's sleeping problems.
Remy are Virgil are going to be besties! I am firmly team Those Two Getting Along. They are my babies and I love them, they must at least be friends. There will be classic sleep overs and they will get up to shananagins, so stay tuned for that.
Virgil can weave and sew. He's okay at it. he does it more for stress relief than to be good.

Crown Princes and Butterfly Wings (11/?)
Chapter 10 : Sweet Treats
—-
Logan and Patton spend the night at the festival together and certain things come to light, like the fact that Logan is way too freaking tall, for example.
<- Previous | First | Next ->
@cutebisexualmess :)

Hello hello, sorry for the lack of chapter last week, I had about 200 words of this written by midday last Sunday and didn't have the motivation necessary to write another 2k, so I gave myself another week to get it done.
Things are finally getting somewhere :D
Also!! Now that I posted another fic for my Darkside!Roman AU, I'm going to start thinking about getting that ask blog I mentioned a while ago up and running! So keep an eye out if you're interested :)
----
“Oh isn’t it wonderful!” Patton cried, turning to look up at Logan with a bright grin on his face, Logan smiled back, the stars on his cheeks twinkling in the dusk, “Do you like it?”
“We’ve hardly been here long enough for me to form a valid opinion,” Logan said, stepping in time with Patton, it made him giggle- he wondered if Logan even noticed he was doing it, “I shall inform you later.”
“Ok!” Patton laughed, “Come on, let’s get drinks! Ooh, we could try Selina’s faerie wine, if you’re up for that, if not there’s always Indie’s punch stand- it’s here every year and she has the best fruit drinks-”
“I believe the punch would be preferable,” Logan cut in, swiftly interrupting his oncoming tangent, “I’d rather not be intoxicated by faerie drinks.”
“That’s ok!” Patton nodded, “Come on, let’s go find the stand and then we can have a proper look around!”
Taking Logan’s hand (and trying to hide his blush as he did so) , Patton led Logan further into the festival towards a cluster of stalls selling food and drink. A lot of fae attended this festival compared to others, which Patton knew would normally make people nervous, but there were contracts and deals in place to ensure nothing would go wrong with them, it did seem to be making Logan nervous though even as they approached the stand selling fruit drinks. 
“Hey!” Called the faerie running the stand- they were running the vast majority of the food and drinks stands, “Is that you, Pat?”
“Indie!” Patton cheered, pulling Logan over, “Hey! We came back to attend the festival since we were just passing through!”
“Oh that’s lovely!” She grinned, “Who’s your friend? Would you like drinks?”
“You may call me L,” Logan said with a nod of respect, before pausing, “Are the drinks safe?”
“Lovely to meet you, L, you may call me Indie,” She smiled back, reaching across to shake his hand, which she kept hold of as she explained, “The punch table comes with a guaranteed no curses, jinxes, hexes, tricks, traps or hijinks! Except the one at the end, that one got spiked but I’m not sure with what, nothing harmless I assure you but possibly a little funky.”
“Right,” Logan nodded, “That is appreciated, I’ll take the blackberry, apple and pomegranate.”
“I’ll have the strawberry and apple one please Indie!”
Once they had their drinks, Patton turned to Logan and offered his glass for a toast, Logan smiled softly and knocked his own drink against Patton’s.
“A toast to our adventure?” Patton suggested with a smile.
“To our adventure,” Logan returned before taking a sip and sighing, “this is lovely.”
“Oh good! I’m glad you enjoy it!” Patton said before lighting up and squeezing Logan’s hand “Oh! Oh! My brother’s stall is over there! C’mon let’s go say hi!”
—-
After saying hello to Remy and his partner Emile, Patton set about dragging Logan around the rest of the festival. They played a few games and marvelled at some of the hand crafted bits and bobs being sold in stores. They stopped to get their fortunes read by a feline woman with the patternings of a snow leopard draped in flowing fabrics and crystalline jewellery. Patton had giggled when Logan came out of her tent purple in the cheeks with his freckles shining brightly, he couldn’t help but wonder what Logan had been told in there.
For the next half an hour the pair walked together amongst the stalls, stopping to look at anything that attracted their attention. At one point they passed Roman and Virgil. Roman had waved a pear at them before running off, dragging a blushing Virgil with him by their joined hands. Patton laughed.
“I’m glad they’re having fun,” He commented, turning to Logan, who was smiling at him with that little smile of his. Patton offered Logan his hand with a hopeful smile, Logan smiled back and took it carefully.
“Me too,” Logan agreed, before looking back in the direction the other two went, “I wonder what will come of those two.”
Patton couldn’t help but bark out a laugh, right, so Logan could identify a blooming relationship between their friends, but he still didn’t realise that Patton had been flirting with him this entire time.
“What is so funny?” Logan asked, looking confused, gosh Patton just wanted to squish his cheeks, how was his cluelessness so adorable?
“Oh nothing,” Patton said with a smile, “I just think you’re neat.”
“...Right?” Logan said, tilting his head in confusion, “Well- um- I suppose you’re pretty ‘neat’ yourself.”
It took everything Patton had to keep from squealing as he took Logan’s other hand, “Ok, where to next? Would you like to try some of the games? Ooh or there's the magic displays that people will be putting on! And the dancing will start soon too-”
“Magic displays?” Logan asked.
“Mhm,” Patton grinned, “It’s mostly like- people will put on an entertaining show using their magic, I used to help out sometimes with my little lightshow.”
“That sounds interesting,” Logan said.
“Would you like to see it?” Patton asked, already beginning to lead him, he knew what Logan’s answer would be.
“Of course,” Logan replied, just as he had expected.
“Come on then!” Patton led him away, laughing as he went, “It’s this way!”
—-
When the dancing started Patton ended up splitting up with Logan for a while. He’d tried to convince Logan to join him, but he had seemed particularly against the dancing and instead had retreated to sit in a small alcove promising that he’d remain there and keep an eye on their things whilst Patton danced. 
It was as lovely as it usually was, the dancing, but Patton somehow found it lacking without a partner. He’d never felt like he’d needed a partner before, he had been more than content with dancing around the massive lit bonfire with strangers, linking arms and spinning in circles until he was dizzy and exhausted in the best way possible. But somehow now it didn’t seem to quite hit that spot he remembered.
After what must have only been fifteen minutes, Patton ducked out of the dancing circle with a glance towards where Logan was sitting. Logan hadn’t noticed him leave the circle, so Patton took the chance to head over to a nearby food stall- he’d grab a cake for them both and then head over and sit with Logan. He smiled to himself, it was a wonderful idea!
Patton grabbed a glazed doughnut filled with blackberry and pomegranate jam for Logan - remembering those were the fruits he’d gotten in his drink - and grabbed a vanilla sponge cupcake with sugar icing for himself before hurrying back over to Logan’s alcove.
“Hey,” Patton called, startling Logan into looking up from his book, he smiled when he saw Patton and marked his page before setting down the book.
“Hello, Patton,” Logan acknowledged him with a nod, “I thought you were dancing?”
“Well- I was dancing but then I kinda started feeling bad because you weren’t with me, so I came back over here,” Patton said, shrugging, “Mind if I sit?”
“Of course,” Logan said, shifting along the bench a little and moving his (incredibly fluffy looking, which Patton really wanted to touch) tail to make space for him.
“Here,” Patton said, offering Logan the doughnut he’d bought him, “It’s got blackberry and pomegranate jam, like your drink, I just kinda guessed you liked those flavours.”
“I do,” Logan nodded, taking the doughnut from Patton, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome!” Patton smiled before biting into his cupcake, it tasted wonderful, as he had expected. As they ate their sweet treats together, Patton looked back out to the dancing. He was pretty sure he’d spotted Virgil and Roman amongst them, he really hoped they were enjoying it together. 
“I apologise for my lack of presence pulling you away from the dancing,” Logan said quietly once he’d finished eating, Patton turned to him, still smiling as he felt he had been possibly all night.
“That’s ok! It’s not your fault and besides, I would rather spend time with you than spin in circles anyway.”
“Really?” Logan asked, looking slightly confused, “Why? You seemed overly excited about the dancing earlier.”
“While I was excited about the dancing, I was more excited about dancing with you than the dancing itself,” Patton explained, “I’ve been going to this festival since I was old enough to walk, Logan, I’ve experienced a fae dance more times than a mortal ever deserves to. I haven’t experienced nearly enough time spent with you, and I probably never will, so- I’d rather do that.”
“Oh,” Logan said, looking down at Patton with an unreadable expression, “I, um, must admit that spending time with you has been enjoyable also, as has the festival itself - you asked for my opinion earlier, and tonight has been wonderful."
"I'm so glad!" Patton smiled, leaning against Logan's shoulder for a second before sitting back up, "I was worried you would be bored."
"Bored?" Logan asked, "This seems like the sort of event where such a feeling would be impossible." 
“It is, I guess I was just… worried it wouldn’t meet your expectations.” Patton said, looking away. 
“It more than exceeded them.” Logan reassured. Patton smiled at him, big and bright, and they lapsed into comfortable silence. The music was still playing, loud and bright, people were still dancing and talking and enjoying themseleves, but here in their little alcove, it felt like all of the world had come together to give them peace. Logan had reopened his book and continued to read whilst Patton pulled out the bundles of colourful thread he had bought from the spinstress’ stall and began knotting them together to form a bracelet on his lap.
Eventually, though, Logan put down his book and looked up, gently nudging Patton to get his attention.
“It is nearly midnight,” Logan said, had they really been here that long? It really felt like only a few moments, “We should return to the meeting point.”
“Right,” Patton said, carefully packing up his thread and almost complete bracelet into his bag and standing up with Logan by his side. They were about to leave when Patton stopped, “Wait-”
“What is it?” Logan asked, turning around. His stars had dimmed a little, a frown on his face.
“Sorry I- I-” Patton took a deep breath, putting a hand in his pocket to find the little gift he had bought and gathering all the courage he had, “Logan I have had so much fun with you tonight, this festival was- infinitely better spent with you here in this alcove than it would have been out there, and I- I guess I just wanted to– I don’t know the customs well, not for- not for nobles like you anyway, but- I want to attempt to court you, if you will accept me.”
Closing his eyes, Patton held out his hand to Logan, in it was a single pebble, painted with a swirling galaxy of stars. They had passed a stall selling them earlier and Logan had looked interested, so Patton had snuck back and bought this one- because it caught his eye and reminded him so much of Logan- as a gift. 
For a terrifyingly long few seconds nothing happened, but then Patton felt Logan’s hand cup his own whilst he took the pebble and- that was a good sign, right? Patton oopened his eyes to find Logan inspecting it whilst still keeping hold of his outstretched hand. Eventually Logan looked back at him, their eyes meeting, Logan’s face was tinted a brilliant magenta.
“I do not have anything to give you in return,” Logan said, voice smaller than Patton had ever heard it, “But- if- if you’ll still want me despite me not being capable of correctly accepting and returning your offer, than, I believe that would be- optimal.”
Patton laughed, turning his hand to take Logan’s properly, “There’s no- there’s no terms and conditions, L, not here. Traditionally yeah you have to exchange gifts but it doesn’t have to be immediate and really you don’t even have to do it at all I just- can I hug you?”
“Of course,” Logan answered, dropping Patton’s hand in order to wrap him up in a tight embrace, Patton melted into it easily, as if this was how it had always been meant to be, when Logan talked Patton could feel the words brushing over his hair, “I will admit I’m- severely uneducated when it comes to romance- courtships and relationships have never been of interest to me- I may require some- guidance.”
“Roman was right, then?” Patton said, pulling back enough to smile up at him but not far enough to let go, “You really noticed nothing?”
Logan looked confused, “What was there to notice?”
Patton couldn’t help but giggle, “Just that I’ve been flirting with you since we left Mirefeld, now let’s go, we wouldn’t want to be late!”
“Wait! Patton- what-” Logan cried as Patton lead him through the crowds back to the food wagon where they had agreed to meet. Patton didn’t stop, but he did slow down a little, “Patton have you- really been making advances this entire time?”
“Mhm,” Patton answered, half turning to face him, “This whole time, you’re very cute when you blush.”
Said blush was very rapidly deepening, Logan’s eyes widened with a realisation, “Is this- is this was Roman wanted us to talk about yesterday?”
“Most likely yes,” Patton nodded.
“Please forgive me,” Logan said, “If it ever felt like I was rejecting you, in that case, romantic feelings are- foreign- to me, and whilst I am certain that is what I am feeling for you, I have only realised that very recently, so- I apologise for my ignorance in the past weeks.”
Patton stopped then, turned and found that - annoyingly - he was too short even on tiptoe to kiss Logan’s cheek. Instead he had to pull Logan down by his shirt to do so, leaving them both blushing even more than they already were.
“It’s ok,” Patton said, letting Logan go, he touched his cheek gently, staring at Patton in disbelief as they continued to walk, “Roman warned me- back when we first left Mirefeld- that you wouldn’t get it straight away, when did you realise?”
Logan went even purple-er and didn’t speak for a moment, “...earlier tonight, after the fortune teller’s tent.”
“Really?” Patton gasped.
“And I only accepted it when you gave me that doughnut before…” Logan murmured, trailing off, Patton laughed, squeezing his hand.
“That’s ok,” Patton said, “I’m just upset I’m too short to kiss you.”
Logan stared at him for a second, before coughing, “You can- always ask me to lean down.”
“Well then,” Patton said, stopping when they finally reached the food wagon, “Roman and Virgil aren’t back yet, so how about that kiss?”

The air was actually breathable today! My chest hurt when I first woke up and I have a little cough. But it would get better throughout the day.
I got out of bed a little after 9. I made the bed. And got dressed. I loved my outfit. Which was my two piece sweat skirt and tank top. First time I'm wearing them together and they absolutely match so well and I am thrilled. I felt a lot better about myself my hair felt better. My makeup felt better. My stomach didn't hurt for the first time in over a week. Things were improving.
I spent the morning vacuuming. Wiping things down. I could open the windows and things felt more normal.
I would get myself together and spent two hours working on my workshop for specialty staff and my native American workshop. Still two sections to do!! I hope to finish that before Monday. But it was fun! I love doing the research. And I was able to find some really fun things and expand on some ideas and it was just really fun. But it was also a lot of work and brain power. So by noon I was a bit exhausted.
I had nachos and egg salad for lunch. I watched some videos. It was a nice day.
I decided I would go for a long drive.
I decided I would drive to Columbia. And go to 2nd avenue.
And it was a fun drive. I had good music. It took about a half hour. And when I got there I put on a podcast. I was surprised how busy it was. But it wasn't horrible. I was having fun mostly just taking pictures of silly things. I would find some good stuff. A dear America book I hadn't read yet. A Mexican tooled leather purse. Another candy machine!! This one was only $5 and has a better base then the one I already have so I'm thrilled. And my best find: a brand new pair of UGGs orange loafers. I ended up getting those for $20 and I am thrilled. Because they are brand new they are slightly tight on top but I know the leather will soften.
I dropped my phone in the parking lot and thought I lost it. But my Bluetooth was still working so I was like, well it can't be to far. And was able to find it soon enough.
I went down the street to the restore. It's not the best one but it was fun to look around. And I ended up finding another kneeling chair!! And this one rocks!! I have wanted a new one since my old one fell apart. And it was only $10!!! Amazing.
I asked if they could hold it at the front so I didn't knock anything over looking around. And I would end up finding another thing. Chappie. This is what he told me his name is. He is a. Bug? I'm not sure. But I love him.
I had a nice conversation with the man at the counter. And then I went home.
When I got back here my friend Remy ran across the street to say hello and it turns out her boyfriend is our neighbor!! Amazing. And she's coming back for some of the camp season so I'm thrilled. She's one of my favorites.
I got inside and there was a suitcases mailed to our house. It was for our downstairs neighbor and so I knocked on her door and we chatted for a bit. And then I went upstairs.
I would put stuff away. I accidently knocked Chappies eye off so I fixed that. Glued a few other things. And went to chill James room.
I decided I would play more animal crossing. I went around my island and was just really proud of myself for all the work and design I had put into it. And then I spent some more time designing some rooms.
James got home and said they were mad about how I have gotten good at it again so fast. Which made me laugh. We would share some candy. James would try cleaning some more. And then they went for a little walk before coming home and making us leftovers for dinner.
We would chill on the couch and look at houses and neighborhoods. Thought about leaving the city. Thought about all the little things you give up when you do that, but the things you gain as well. It was fun just sitting together and imagining. Also seeing the places that were clearly haunted or recently on fire.
I would take a bath after that. And now we are in bed and James is watching all the tiktoks I sent to them. And now we are getting ready to sleep. James just tried to lean on their bad arm and crumpled to the bed and it was very silly.
Tomorrow I have the market. I think. Anne sent a cryptic email about thinking about cancelling because of the smoke. But James says they haven't heard anything like that so I will still go.
I hope you all sleep well tonight. And are breathing easier. Goodnight my friends

Intro post time >:D
About Me
Hello hello! I go by an assortment of things but you can call me any variants of: Remiel, Remes, or Remi!
I go by He/She pronouns, and am a semi-active trans and queer artist/writer here on da interwebs.
I'm proudly Puerto Rican and Guatemalan, however growing up in the US kinda made me a no sabo kid 😭 I've been improving my Spanish in hopes to connect with other Hispanic/Bilingual folks!
I love being able to interact with other people so absolutely do not be afraid to message me or send me asks, you can even tag me in stuff as well!
I'll probably update this post consistently if and when I do start posting, so things will be easier to navigate. And since this is getting long I'll post my Reading/Writing habits under the cut!
What I Read/Write
To get a good look into what I like to read just look at my two favorite books: Good Omens, for one, has a lot of fantasy and even horror comedy elements, and is mainly targeted towards young adults. On the other side of the spectrum is The Talented Mr. Ripley, which is a crime novel way more rooted in reality and has psychological thriller and drama elements. Buuut pretty much anything and everything in between and not could possibly catch my eye, there's no telling with my interests lolol.
As far as writing goes I don't have anything in particular planned out. I'm a pretty spontaneous person and it's hard for me to buckle down and commit to one thing. However, I absolutely would like to use this as a way to get inspired and eventually share some of my own ideas!
For the characters and themes I do have now I base a lot of it in reality, even if the stories themselves are fantasy and fiction in nature. I find myself writing mostly about trans and queer characters— a lot of them being POC— characters that grew up in poverty, first and second gen immigrants, characters dealing with mental illness, and a lot of other elements that I have personally experienced or have been informed on because I find it to be the most comforting, and I hope someday (if I do share my ideas with other people) they will also find comfort in being seen and recognized! Any heavy topics related to these themes are sure to be thoroughly tagged as well.

a guide to writing with me;
hello and welcome!
I'm Milo! 32yo, trans dude, he/him. I'm looking for sb 20+ who likes multiple paragraph prose, third person, preferably past tense though I'm willing to compromise. fluent grammar, written over discord in a server of our own. replies every few days if possible, but life sometimes gets in the way and I'm okay with that, hope you are too! my typical reply speed varies, from several times a day to a few times a week depending on how busy life is. I'm forgiving of small grammar mistakes (I'm not a native speaker myself) but can get a bit nitpicky! if that's not your thing that's fine, but proper grammar is important to me. ships I'm looking for at the bottom! (◡‿◡✿) note that just bc I don't have a current muse in a possible shared fandom listed here atm doesn't mean I can't adapt sb (cough Gambit) for said fandom or find a muse in that fandom to write! I'm fond of crossovers and AUs and have a lot of experience (see for yourself) for adapting Remy, for example, for multiple fandoms!
I'm also very into rare, odd ships! if you find a fandom and a potential muse you're interested here right on this list, pls don't be afraid to come to me with some outside-the-box ideas!
for the most part, I'm interested in writing MxM and romance heavy plots with some smut possibly occasionally tossed in. I'm not interested in toxic relationships; I like my ships to struggle, sure, but not because they're bad for each other but because, y'know... life. circumstances. trauma, outside forces, stuff like that making things complicated, but not enough that they're actively suffering because of one another. I like angst in a nice balance with fluff, obstacles that they can perservere through together, love larger than life, love that conquers all. open to death dove topics and open to kinky stuff. open to smut as well, as said, though I'm not interested in smut just for smut's sake.

Hi!
sometimes i forget tumblr exists and i was indeed away
i just caught up to the story and f uck it was an emotional journey i will never recover from
can os please have an infinite infestation of tiny snails just everywhere for the rest of time because i hate him more than virgil
the watchers gc is absolutely spooky, with lil cobwebs and that one halloween font with orange and black and such, but the ringtone is horrificly contrasting to the layout, like lady gaga or smth
im so proud of remus! that is always a hard realisation and acceptance process, and to tell virgil like that was stunning.
Lukas i freakin love your writing, characterisation and just your way of making me feel deep emotions. you are so cooll
janus calling virgil goofy. thats it.
fellow british??
remy should stay at rowans place, i would love to see the conversations that happen
I hope you enjoy your break/vacay!!!!! You definetely deserve it :)) hopefully i will send more asks if i remember, gotta love short term memory
-🐌🕸
(hello C: welcome baaack. I'm back from my break as well and my dad has covid so I got lots of indoor quarantine time to write. Also Thanks!! im so glad you like my writing <33 i was kinda nervous i wouldn't be able to make it like emotionally strong enough after all the buildup so its really reasuring to hear
With your vote it is now a tie. 1 for Remy staying with Janus and 1 for Remy staying with Remus & Rowan. Either another person votes or I'll have to flip a coin fhjdk
btw ive seen some askblogs have like taglists. i can make a taglist for this blog if y'all want to? for memory help nd stuff)
Oswald was in the middle of brushing his teeth when he first noticed a tiny snail crawl on his hand. It moved onto the toothbrush and stopped to turn it's small snail head towards him.
It surprised him enough to make him drop the toothbrush into the sink. He took a step back and saw an entire horde of similarly tiny snails moving around his feet.
It barely took him a second of thinking before he grabbed onto the nearest heavy object and started swinging against any snail he could see. When he thought he had smacked one into a gooey little puddle he did a small smile to himself. But when he looked again the snail was still there. It stood still and stared directly up into his eyes.
He smacked the snail again and nothing changed. It was like the object simply went through it.
Oswald looked between the object in his hand and the many many snails on his floor before deciding to simply have a cigarette break.
-
"Ozzie you wouldn't mind cutting the fish you're supposed to instead of the table?" Oswald's coworker asked "The feeding is in 5 minutes, you know this! Are you high. Please don't tell me you're high. Last time a coworker was high here he nearly cut off his hand"
"It's a bit hard to focus on cutting fish heads when there is an infestation of snails all around me Brenda" He replied.
He chopped off one of the dead fishes' head while looking at her. It was muscle memory by now. She squinted at him.
"What snails?"
"Oh ha ha. You got me. Everyone is laughing. Good joke"
"There are three buckets of dead fish on the table but no snails and you better be finished with those three buckets in 5 minutes because I have a school class out there waiting to see some sharks snack on fish"
The coworker hadn't even had time to fully leave the room when Oswald muttered out some very mean words about her quite loudly. Something like "Din jävla hora"
"I can tell management if you insult me" She said while leaving.
"You can't prove anything sweetie!" He loudly replied in a fake cheery tone "Especially if it's in another language!"
--
"Just as a warning here, you're not afraid of octopi are you? Because I do have a little fella" Oswald asked.
"How the fuck should I know. Never seen one"
"I will take that as a no"
He had his hand gently intertwined with a short person as he lead them to his apartment. They were 20 years old. Give or take a few years. Looked a bit younger because of how tiny they were. They’d met only a couple hours ago.
He only let go of them to unlock the apartment door before holding it open for them. They ooohed and aaahed at the clean home. 
"And it's still free? Like you haven't changed your mind in the latest minute since I asked? I can just like stay?"
"Of course. It's no trouble at all. I have people crashing at my place constantly" He sent them a warm look "I just can't stop myself from helping when I see someone in need. I barely use the couch anyway!"
They excitedly shook his arm around "Thanks Os!!! Just the thought of having to couch crush for like a month before being able to move into my new place was really tearing at my nerves!"
They threw their arms around him. He loosely hugged them back and moved one of his hands to pet the top of their head.
"Now you only have to crash on one singular couch. Or you can take the bed. I don't min-"
"Are those also your..pets?" They suddenly asked. They pressed themself a bit closer to him.
"What are you referring to dear?"
"The uhm the snails" They looked around the room "How are there so many. What the- Where- Why would you even have this many. And you let them just roam around? Don't they- Don't they like eat cables? And clothes? And uhh bite on human fingers?"
He let up into a laugh "Snails? Don't be silly. Look sometimes large amounts of stress can just make your brain go a bit weird. Make you see things that aren't there"
"THe snail just touched me! It touched me! I can feel it!"
He tightened the hug. Just enough so they wouldn't notice. "All you need is some sleep, dinner, maybe a warm bath. You'll feel muc-"
"I- I think I just remembered a friend of mine said I could stay with him- yeah- I'll just uhm like call him-"
They pushed themself away from him and shook a few snails away from their foot before letting out a hasty goodbye as they rushed out of the apartment.
Oswald let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead as he could feel a headache start to kick in. He half assedly tried to step on one of the snails which of course didn't seem affected by it in the slightest.
"So now you decide to be visible huh" He muttered "Are you snails suddenly allergic to girls perhaps. Hopefully you're allergic to hammers as well"

Revenant by Michelle Frost
Tumblr media
Series: Magic & Metal #0.5 Read time: 1 Day Rating: 4/5 Stars
The Quote: “I’m surprised Bram let you play delivery boy.�� Kova shot me a look, harmless irritation written all over his face. For some reason, it made me smile wider. Getting a rise out of someone wasn’t usually this fun. “Um… he may not actually be aware of my location at present.” — Erik and Kova
Warnings: references to deaths and brainwashing (?).
This is such a sweet story. It follows 20-year-old witch Kova as he comes to terms with a recent development in his normally near non-existent power and Erik Jarsten the man Kova has been seeing in his dreams for years. To talk about Erik is to go into spoilers. But given Kova is a witch it is fairly safe to say the title is relevant to Erik. Their story isn't overly complicated. By the time they meet Kova is already half in love with Erik and Erik is well complicated. He has a lot of baggage to deal with and secrets. Their relationship is as much a knowledge exchange and healing and romantic match. Kova gets his knowledge. Erik gets his freedom. It's a fair trade. Erik is my kind of character. Guilt-ridden, Scandinavian and desperate for relief with a side of teasing. The almost sunshine that is Kova is a good match.
Erik and Kova's simple relationship is well suited to a prequel. Easy to follow while the lore of the Magic & Metal universe is introduced. Beyond the basic rules governing the shifters and others in the verse, it includes the war, the In Betweeen and the set-up therein. I can see a lot of potential in the world, the lore and the characters. There is still plenty more lore to be understood. That Bram has a story already makes me want to keep reading, I really like his history with Kova's mother. The chapter lengths are just done well. Erik's are so short while he is controlled by Nero but get longer as Kova helps him. Kova's are longer and there is a linguistic difference between them. I keep coming back to the prologue, it is fantastic.
Some quotes and comments...
I knew it was a dream. Knowing didn’t make the palm pressed against my throat any less rough. Didn’t lessen the fierce set of his jaw. Didn’t make the striking color of his eyes any less blue. — This has such a beautiful opening. It's definitely the beginning of a stunning mental image. I love the whole prologue so much. A dream. Or maybe fantasy, that depends very much on Kova. It is such an insight into them. Their antagonistic dynamic. (Kova)
Michelle Frost creates and uses interesting lore for her paranormal romance and I'm totally here for it. Of particular interest is the multi-animal werecreature packs. Kova's pack, the Black Dogs, is larger than we see but there are three main characters we meet. The Alpha of the pack Bram is a bear shifter and a paternal figure for Kova. His second is raven shifter Cyder. Kova's closest friend, Remy is a lion shifter.
It left his face in shadow save the gleam of his eyes and half a twisted smirk. His blond hair was tucked behind his ears. And as I watched, all the shadows in the room seemed to writhe and slither, gathering around him like a pulsing heart of darkness. He’d be beautiful, I thought wildly, if he wasn’t there to kill me. “Hello, Kova.” —Those shadows are important to Erik. Erik uses to travel through space. Also, sue me I love this descriptive passage. Not sure why but Erik's voice always sounds near seductive in my head. It really isn't supposed to here. (Kova)
The dream had missed so many details— the burnt spice smell of him, the dark lines of a tattoo peeking above the v in the collar of his shirt, the way his sheer presence filled up the room. He was dressed simply, in jeans, boots, and a t-shirt, all in black. I’d never noticed before. The simplicity of his garments didn’t detract from the power rolling off him in waves. — (Kova)
“You’re thinking awfully hard, Kova.” Erik’s voice came from beneath the trees beside me, making me jump. I huffed. “I think you enjoy startling me.” — There is such a sweet teaing in Erik's nature. That the man can slink through shadows (like a cat, huh is he feline in nature... hmmm) teasing the slight sunshine that is Kova comes natural. It's their chemistry too. (Erik and Kova)
I liked the meditation moment we get see Erik and Kova. Frost chose well a lake is ideal for Kova.
I nodded, climbing to my feet as Remy’s body changed from human to lion. He was beautiful in this form, larger than a natural lion and covered in golden fur. Except for his mane. It was dark brown like his hair in human form. He looked back at me, same warm brown eyes as always, — When Kova is right he's right. Remy really is a beautiful lion. It is worth saying that the height of Cyder's raven form is something like his natural height (maybe a bit taller). The lore governing the shifters' sizes is also intelligent. (Kova)

• Angelina POV •
'I used to sit in my office and do some work on my computer. Jessica ran into the office. She was terribly upset, as if she was running from someone. "What's going on?" - "O-he ... was there and ... and he wanted me-" I stood up to her and stroked her cheek. "Hey, calm down. I'm here. "She nodded slowly." I'm terribly scared of him. " She said and buried her head in my shoulder. I pulled her into my arms and rubbed the slow circles on her back. "You have to tell me who." - "You wouldn't believe me." She whispered. She was still scared and I wanted to find out who she was talking about. Suddenly the door to my office flew open and a man in a black hooded and masked position stood inside. He said nothing but stood there, looking at me and then at Jess. Suddenly he pulled out a gun, aimed it at me, and fired. '
I woke up quickly and gasped. It was a terrible dream. I didn't know what that meant, but I was terrified. Maybe it was a warning or something, but I wonder who the man was. I didn't want to stress even more, so I got up and went to take a shower. I knew there would be enough stress tonight.
The shower stung me unbelievably. I really relaxed. I had no idea what I was going to do by tonight, I had a lot of time. But my program came up very quickly. I heard Remi start barking at me. I haven't had much time for it for some time so a good walk is offered.
We were in a park together where I always liked it. It's on the outskirts of the city, not many people come here but it's big enough. I had Remi off and threw him his favorite ball. Suddenly, God knows where. I called him but he didn't respond. So I went in that direction and saw him with a girl. When I got closer, I knew it was Jessica. "Mrs. Jolie." - "Jess." Remi kept bouncing around her and it was very cute. "Where are you going?" She asked. "I don't know. I just wanted to take a good walk with Remi. What are you doing here?" they walked along the way. When I looked at her all the time, I had that dream in my head. "Hello. Are you okay?" Jessica waved her hand in front of my face. ,, Ehm Jo. Yeah, I'm just thinking about dinner tonight. "Her smile dropped." Do you really have to go there? Looks like you're really worried about that. " She was right. I've had my head full since I decided to go there. "Unfortunately, I have to," I said dejectedly. "Could I help you or at least cheer you up?" She smiled and I returned her smile. She was such a sweetheart. "Maybe if you were with me the rest of the day?" - "I'd love to."
We were out all morning talking. I can't help but like it more and more. "I'm hungry." I looked at my watch, and it really was lunch time. "We can go to me and order food there." She agreed and we headed towards my house.
"What do we order?" - "China?" I nodded and called the nearby business. Meanwhile, Jess was sitting at the kitchen table doing something on her cell phone. I couldn't take my eyes off her. When I finished the conversation I went to the kitchen to make us a drink. "What will you drink?" - "Water is enough." I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "So juice?" I smiled. I put a drink on the table in front of her and sat down in her usual place. Jess put down her cell phone, drank, and then looked at me. "What?" - "This already it doesn't look like a purely working relationship, Mrs. Jolie. "It was clear he was trying to provoke me." Where are you going, Miss Fox? " Two can play this game. She got stuck at the address for a moment but recovered quickly. "Tell me." It seemed to me that she was flirting with me, but why would she flirt with me. I straightened up a little and thought about how best to answer her. " She blushed and smiled at my answer. One zero for me. Jessica opened her mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by a bell. I got up and went for our food. I took it to the kitchen and put it on plates. During this I felt certain eyes on me. When I turned, Jess quickly looked away as if she had never looked at me. I brought her food, thanked me, and we both started eating. It didn't matter at all that neither of us said anything. It wasn't as embarrassing as evening. Sometimes I lifted my head from my plate and looked at Jess.
After the meal, we moved to the living room, where we continued to talk about everything. Unfortunately, her cell phone interrupted us. She looked who she was and apologized to me. I didn't want to watch but it was some unknown number. Jessica got up and went down the hall to work it out.
After a while, she returned and had a rather frightened face. "Is everything all right?" - "Um yeah." - "Really?" I asked incredulously. "Yes." I got up and walked over to her. She was unable to maintain eye contact with me, so she looked down at the floor. I didn't like it, so I lifted her chin with my finger and then put my hand on her cheek. At that moment, my memories of my dream returned. She leaned into my touch and closed her eyes. "Thank you." She whispered, then pulled away from my hand and looked up at me. I began to play with her soft hair. "I should go now." - "You don't have to if you don't want to." I said back. she didn't want her to leave in this state. "But I should." I nodded sadly and walked with her to the front door. I helped her get dressed and then we said goodbye. I watched him leave for a moment, and finally I closed the door and went to prepare for the approaching dinner.
• Jessica POV •I just didn't want to stress her out. A man called me and had terribly strange comments. Maybe he said something in the sense that he would keep watching me, which terrified me terribly. I had no idea why he was calling me and saying it. I just knew I didn't want Mrs. Jolie to stress. I walked slowly home and still felt like someone was watching me. I'm just paranoid about what the man told me. So I tried to get home as soon as I could. I wonder who it was. If it was just a stupid joke. Or if someone meant it really. However, I did not allow myself the last option.
