no offense but angst leading to smut will always top everything else. argue with the wall because i ain’t hearing it ok, the yearning? the heartache that leads to hurried kisses or passionate slow ones? the face grab? the holding them as close as they can during? shut up!

wait so i love the idea of MCD laur being launched into MS season 3. Now i have questions.
Does he end up telling them about being a shadow knight? Or does that… reveal itself (rubbing my hands together menacingly). If so, how does that go down? What’s the reactions? The circumstances? mwahaha
Does he get to visit Cadenza? What’s that like? For that matter, are his dads alive in this universe? (AUGHEUGHEU) Does he ask Cad about them?
Oh now that's an idea...
He 100% would want to keep it on lock down. Even if these alternate versions of his friends are surprisingly chill about him being from another dimension, they even ask him questions about it, there's some stuff he refuses to tell them. Idk where he would start living, maybe with MyS Garrance who knows, but whoever first sees him without a shirt on would no doubt notice the amount of scars across his body. There's a difference between "I come from a dangerous world" and "I have scarring of multiple stab wounds and burn marks that would have easily killed someone."
If anyone tried to ask him about it he would just dodge the question, tell them that it's nothing, just wounds from a battle he's already won. I don't think his calling would fully be able to act up in this other dimension, but it would try to. He'd be hanging out with everyone, getting to know them, and then when he looks over at the now second alternate version of the woman he loves so much, it just happens. In an instant his hands become shaky, his eyes start to cloud over, and all his thoughts are filled with the urge to kill.
And let's remember, at the point he got yoinked out of his original timeline, Laurance has just barely if at all started to come to terms with his condition and what it does to him. He's still in denial about how bad it is because he doesn't want Aphmau to worry or Garroth to distrust him. He doesn't know or understand different symptoms because they just started, and now he's surrounded by people who don't even know what a Shadow Knight is.
I imagine the calling acting up would make Laurance run away, like physically run the fuck away from Lover's Lane with no way to track him because boy has inhuman speed and no phone. The thing that gets him to come back is when they find him hiding in the woods that line the city. And the person who finds him is this dimensions version of Cadenza. The one person who no matter what situation Laurance was in, is able to talk him down.
She's not the same as his sister. When he sees her he can see the difference in them. His sister is a little taller, carries herself differently, and is obviously dressed differently. But her voice sounds so similar, her laugh is the same, and the soft way she talks to a freaking out Laurance is enough to ground him to some sense of reality when he's spiraling. Cadenza was always able to talk Laurance down from a bad decision when they were kids, and now this alternate version of her is able to do the same.
MCD Laur and MyS Cadenza become absolute besties after this. Like forget his budding brotherly relationship with MyS Dante that reflects the same one they had in MCD, he's found someone he can consider family here. He never talks about what happened, just tells everyone it was some warrior instinct that went haywire. What do you mean his eyes sometimes change color when he looks at Aphmau for too long? You're making things up again Travis.
Fun little aside, Laur would 100% tell most of the cast about their counterparts, and Travis would be so upset to learn that he doesn't have one (as far as Laur knows).
And one day Laur goes to Cadenza's house so they can talk and she can figure out a way she can properly dress him. Everyone else lives alone or with another adult roommate, so he doesn't even think to ask about who she lives with. When he knocks on the door, there's nothing that can prepare him for who opens it.
It's Joh.
His dad. His real dad, or the closest thing he had to one. The man who first took him in, and the first person Laurance failed to protect.
Emotions take over logic and he just hugs this man. He doesn't know if Cadenza's informed him of the situation, he doesn't know if he's supposed to pretend to be the other Laurance, and he doesn't care. In a precious moment he's able to hug his father and maybe break down crying while he's hugging him who knows.
I do think Cadenza tried to explain to her dads that the man coming over is an alternate version of Laurance from another dimension. And while Hayden is a sci-fi nerd and can actually wrap his head around the concept, Joh was sort of nodding along for the conversation. He gets that this man looks and acts a lot like his son, but isn't his son. Yet this doppelganger hugs him the exact way his son did when he came home from college, with so much love that it crushes him.
And for Laurance, even if he knows this is no doubt an alternate version of his father, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because for just a sweet sweet moment he gets to hug his father and pretend like he didn't completely and utterly fail him. When this now very awkward hug breaks, Laurance has to come to terms with reality, see that this man is indeed different from the one he failed to protect.
But for just a minute... it felt like he was.

im currently obsessed with tennis and tennis is the only thing that's on my mind so i just doing what my brain cells are asking
first, the characters here were mentioned in another stories, but its not relevant at all, a little bit of context: lauren is priya sister (from delicate - lewis hamilton x volleyball!player) when i wrote delicate she was supposed to be a little younger than priya, so i made an adjustment just so the agegap wasn't so big and jeremy is yolanda brother (from match point)
i think this one will be like 2 parts

Locked 🔒
Travis’ hand gripped Laura’s elbow painfully tight as he yanked and pulled her into the cluttered closet. He steadies her, but it’s too late. They’re pressed tightly together, the warmth of her back pressed into his chest. Her ass was- He shook his head of those thoughts, he needed to strategize.
“-the fuck are you-” Laura exclaims, but Travis presses his rough hand over her mouth, her hot exhale causing his skin to begin to turn clammy. “Quiet,” his voice is low in her ear, his lip brushes the shell of her ear by accident.
She shudders against him, feeling like every hair on her body stood on end. Just beyond the door, they both heard the uneasy gallop and skidding of claws on the wooden floorboards. 
The werewolf they were hunting seems to have been hunting them in return. It stopped it’s scuttling right in front of the door, snuffing at the small opening at the bottom of the door.
She could feel the older man tense behind her, a slight twinge in his hand over her mouth. His other hand slowly trailed down her hip, but surely made it’s way to the pistol strapped to Laura’s thigh. It was a gift from Travis, but also a powerful tool filled with silver bullets for their escapades. 
“If shit goes down,” he breathes out, hardly a whisper, “Run to the truck, don’t look back.”
Laura wants to protest. They are a team. She’s not leaving him behind. 
He shivered as the door was pushed on, probably by the bulky head of the semi blinded beast. The audible click of the door shutting completely seemed to echo loudly within the cramped space, but then the scampering started up again, followed by the sound of glass breaking.
They stay still for what seems an eternity. Until the sounds of the old house calm, Travis slowly drops his hands, but with the limited space, they rest just below Laura’s hips.
Laura grabs the doorknob and-
It’s locked.
“…Travis?” She’s quiet as she can be, trying her best to make space between them, but pauses when she finds that something else had been poking into her that definitely wasn't the contents of the closet. “Do.. you know how to pick a lock?”
“Goddamnit,” he growled, reaching around her to try it as well. Pushing up against her even more, his chest and softness of his belly planted nicely into her back, fitting in perfectly like a puzzle piece.
She huffed, rolling her eyes at his attempt, “..just what I wanted, to play six minutes in heaven with the grumpiest man in the world.”
“It’s seven minutes in heaven-“ he corrects her and growls at himself for doing so, “Fuck.”
“Hm..” she snorts, a slight tease to her voice, “You play often then, sheriff?”
“Shut up,” he stretched behind her, making an irritated noise at the unnecessary friction of the front of his jeans on her’s. He really tries not to think about how good Laura feels pressed up against him, but that only makes him throb heavily with need. He feels lightheaded from it all, the adrenaline of the hunt, of them being hunted only moments ago, and the fact that it feels like all his blood has flooded southward. So goddamned embarrassed-
Laura sighs, shifting on her feet. She definitely feels him, but doesn’t say anything about it.
He tries to push on a weak spot on the closet door, seeing as the house they’re inside hasn’t been taken care of in years. The door doesn’t budge, only making the wood creak loudly.
He stops immediately as the scampering starts back up, it’s farther away and possibly downstairs. The blonde in front of him tenses, her hand reaching back to touch his forearm.
“Change of plans, “ he sighed quietly, “We quickly take out this door and-“
“It’s only an hour until sunrise,” Laura taps his wristwatch, her gift to him last Christmas. “We can wait it out, I know we came here to stop it, but we literally only have my pistol right now. I don’t like those odds.”
“Laur…” He groaned, all he could smell was her and good god, he needed out of here before he started losing himself, “You sure?”
“Mhm,” she hummed, “I’m not leaving you behind, Travis Hackett. You’re my rock.”
He snorted, shifting his weight on his feet.  “I’m dumb as rocks, you mean.”
She snickered, squeezing his wrist lightly, “That too, sometimes.”
A few moments pass as they listen to the werewolf move about the house, it doesn’t come back upstairs, but it does seem to keep pacing back and forth for a while until silence takes over once again. The duo's breathing settles, almost breathing as one in the small space… until..
“Trav,” Laura bites her lip as she purposefully leans back, she can’t go far, but she feels her face heat up when she feels the swell of him on the small of her back. She knew he had to be big.. not like she fantasized about him.. too much. She had needs, too.. “About earlier..”
A choked gasp escapes him, “Laura? What-“
“Do you want this?” She whispers, moving in just the right way to cause some delicious friction on his end, “I’ll stop if I’m overstepping here-“
He whines, actually whines, in her ear. His hips reacted by themselves, thrusting against her with a low moan. He feels like he’s on fire and attempts to turn away from her, “Fuck, I’m sorry-“
“Tell me to stop,” she replies, following and pushing against him once again.
“No,” he finally growls out, his hands hover over her sides, “Can.. I touch you?”
“Please,” she sighed, feeling his large palms scorch her body with his careful touches. He squeezed her small chest lightly, but only one stayed after some exploration. Any logical thoughts went out of her head when large fingers started rubbing and caressing the front of her jeans, and somehow, he had been able to sneak his thigh in between her legs. “Oh.”
“Gorgeous,” his voice sent pleasurable shivers down her spine, his lips pressed warm kisses to her bare nape. He nibbled the side of her neck, making Laura gasp out as she rubbed herself along on his thigh. “Absolutely beautiful.”
“Trav-“ she shuddered, feeling how quickly her panties dampened, she gently put her hand on his, her thumb gently rubbing his knuckles, “I want to see you if we’re.. doing this.”
“Not much to look at,” He grunted, but still withdrew his leg to allow her to turn around. He misses the warmth for the brief second she’s moving, but seeing her bright red cheeks, heated him back up tenfold.
“Says you,” she smiled up at him, taking in the way his chest heaved and how beautifully flushed he was, watching the way it trailed down his neck and into his buttoned flannel, “Can I touch you?”
Travis nodded shakily, wetting his lip. His half-hooded eyes haven’t left her face, drifting between her eyes and her lips.
Laura gently places her hands on his hips and hums, feeling up his sides and squeezes lightly at the softness there. She smiles even more as she rubs up against his front, sliding her hands up to his chest, then up and around his neck. She stretches up to kiss him tentatively, giggling at the sensation of his slight stubble. 
It’s a shy kiss, the connection soft and explorative. Travis takes a moment to realize it’s actually happening, Laura already retracting by the time he’s chasing after her. She makes a surprised noise at his enthusiasm, feeling his palms slide under her ass and lift her up. She wraps her arms around his neck and giggles even more after they part to breathe.
“Don’t strain yourself,” she laughed quietly, peppering kisses to his face. She traces his face with her thumb, looking at him gently in the low light of the closet. 
“Need to feed you more,” he chuckled, “You’re light as a feather.”
“Uh huh,” She snorted, playfully hitting him on the shoulder, “Should we continue this back at the motel?”
“Probably be safer,” Travis’ lip tugged up slightly, his heart beating fast at the thought of her wanting to continue, “One more kiss?”
“You can have as many as you want,” Laura leaned again, moaning softly when Travis took charge. She trailed her fingers through his dark hair and pulled, making him gasp into her mouth. She cheekily licks into his mouth before retreating and kissing his cheek.
“Such a tease,” he rests his forehead against hers, chuckling and returning a kiss to the tip of her nose.
“Me? A tease?” She snorts, “I’ve felt your hard-on embedded in my back for the past hour, despite you thinking I couldn’t feel you gently rub up against me.”
“Sorry,” he looked away, blushing brighter with shame.
“Hey, don’t apologize,” she grinned, gently thumbing his chin and pulling him back to look at her, “I’m not going to lie, it was.. hot.”
“Motel,” He groans, squeezing her ass as he gently lets her back down, “But first, we need to get out of here-”
Laura turns and feels around for the hinges of the door, kneeling down to find the bottom one first, and purposefully rubbing her ass into him as she does so. She hears him moan, which makes her feel smug as she pulls the rusty pin out of the hinge.
“...smart girl,” Travis chuckled, smoothing his hand over her back before stretching and feeling around for the top hinge. He finds it, “Hold onto the door, so it doesn’t fall.”
“Childhood bedroom door used to stick,” Laura says quietly, standing up to take hold of the door. Once the other pin is out of the door, she looks over at Travis and waits for him to nod. She moves it slowly until she’s back into the decrepit hallway, she sets it down as softly as she can.
Travis takes her hand, tugging her in the direction of the stairs. The floorboards creak underfoot, so they slow their movements to listen downstairs. They can see the sunlight streaming in through the open holes in the walls, but that doesn’t mean their werewolf has transformed back yet.
Nothing but the sound of nature waking up outside, the cheerful chirp of birds and the chattering of squirrels.
“Careful, there’s glass on the steps,” Travis warns, stepping down and still holding onto her hand, “To the left is the front door.”
She squeezes his hand, falling into step with him but stumbling into him at the bottom landing, making a soft ‘oof’ noise.
On the dilapidated couch is a very naked middle aged man, but good for them, he seems to be in a very deep sleep. Travis looks at Laura and she just bites her lip, waiting for him to make the first move.
They move as one, but halfway through the room, Travis steps down a tad too hard on probably the loudest floorboard in the entire house, causing the man to moan and stir from his spot.
Laura quickly takes lead, pulling Travis out the door and down the long driveway to where they parked the truck in a small alcove of pine trees. They’re both breathing heavily, but once they finally look back at the other, Laura can’t help but fall into a laughing fit. 
She clutches onto the front of his flannel, leaning her forehead into him. Travis wraps his arms around her, chuckling along with her at what just happened to them. When she finally calms down she looks up at him and kisses the bottom of his chin, “Let’s get outta here.”
Travis hummed, “Sounds like a good plan, ma’am.” “Oh, shut up,” she grinned, “The best plan is getting you on the bed at our motel room.”
“Yeah?” He chuckles, warmth returning back to his face as he pushes her playfully to get into the truck, “Not if I get you there first.”
Laura’s eyes sparked at that, settling into the passenger seat, “...well, we could take turns.”
Travis leans across the console to kiss her, only to pause while looking past her before quickly turning over the engine of the truck and peeling out and back onto the road. 
“Someone’s antsy,” Laura put her hand on his thigh, feeling smug. “Thought you never did anything fun, officer.”
“...we had company coming,” he sat his hand over hers, linking their fingers together,  “...but yes..”

There are many books coming out this month, and I thought it would be fun to highlights five of them with gorgeous covers that caught my attention. Have any of these caught your eye yet?
Damned if You Do by Alex Brown Page Street
Seven years ago, Cordelia Scott’s abusive father left without a word, and life has been normal ever since. The seventeen-year-old spends her days stage managing the school play (which is going great, if anyone asks), pining over her best friend, Veronica, and failing one too many pop quizzes. She’s never been sad that her father left, but she knows something is...missing. When her school guidance counselor, Fred, reveals during a session that he’s actually a demon, she learns that something is indeed missing: a piece of her actual soul. Why? She unwittingly made a deal with him to make her father disappear – then bargained to have the memory erased. To make matters worse, Fred is here to make another bargain: Help him with a “little” demonic problem, or she’s doomed to spend eternity in Hell with her father. The deal? Help Fred neutralize a rival demon, who means to do more harm in her hometown than your average demon deal. --Cover image and summary via Goodreads
The Dark Place by Britney S. Lewis Disney Hyperion
Seventeen-year-old Hylee Williams didn't ask to disappear. But she did disappear, and not only that, but when she vanished from our world, she materialized in a dark, twisted version of the night that changed her life forever: the night her older brother went missing. Just as Hylee realizes this moment could be the key to unraveling the truth about her brother, she's yanked away from the dark place back to our world. Craving a sense of normalcy, she goes to a party with her best friend--where she meets Eilam Roads. Tall, handsome, and undeniably, inexplicably familiar, Hylee can't help the pull she feels towards him. It's a classic teen girl-meets-boy situation, until it happens again. She disappears, right in front of him. Together, Hylee and Eilam investigate the truth about time, space, and reality, with Hylee increasingly convinced her time travel holds the key to saving her brother. But the more they learn, the more Hylee begins to see darkness lurking in her world--and in herself. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads
Forged by Blood (The Tainted Blood Duology #1) by Ehigbor Okosun Harper Voyager
In the midst of a tyrannical regime and political invasion, Dèmi just wants to survive: to avoid the suspicion of the nonmagical Ajes who occupy her ancestral homeland of Ife; to escape the King’s brutal genocide of her people—the darker skinned, magic wielding Oluso; and to live peacefully with her secretive mother while learning to control the terrifying blood magic that is her birthright. But when Dèmi’s misplaced trust costs her mother’s life, survival gives way to vengeance. She bides her time until the devious Lord Ekwensi grants her the perfect opportunity—kidnap the Aje prince, Jonas, and bargain with his life to save the remaining Oluso. With the help of her reckless childhood friend Colin, Dèmi succeeds, but discovers that she and Jonas share more than deadly secrets; every moment tangles them further into a forbidden, unmistakable attraction, much to Colin’s—and Dèmi’s—distress. The kidnapping is now a joint mission: to return to the King, help get Lord Ekwensi on the council, and bolster the voice of the Oluso in a system designed to silence them. But the way is dangerous, Dèmi’s magic is growing yet uncertain, and it’s not clear if she can trust the two men at her side. A tale of rebellion and redemption, race and class, love and trust and betrayal, Forged by Blood is epic fantasy at its finest, from an enthusiastic, emerging voice. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

As she descends into madness and the mystifying underworld beneath her, she is faced with the ultimate continue to break herself for scraps of validation or succumb to the darkness that wants her exactly as she is—monstrous heart and all. That is, if the god-killer doesn’t catch her first. From debut author Jamison Shea comes I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me , a slow-burn horror that lifts a veil on the institutions that profit on exclusion and the toll of giving everything to a world that will never love you back.
Her Radiant Curse by Elizabeth Lim Knopf Books for Young Readers
One sister must fall for the other to rise. Channi was not born a monster. But when her own father offers her in sacrifice to the Demon Witch, she is forever changed. Cursed with a serpent’s face, Channi is the exact opposite of her beautiful sister, Vanna—the only person in the village who looks at Channi and doesn’t see a monster. The only person she loves and trusts. Now seventeen, Vanna is to be married off in a vulgar contest that will enrich the coffers of the village leaders. Only Channi, who’s had to rely on her strength and cunning all these years, can defend her sister against the cruelest of the suitors. But in doing so, she becomes the target of his wrath—launching a grisly battle royale, a quest over land and sea, a romance between sworn enemies, and a choice that will strain Channi’s heart to its breaking point. Weaving together elements of The Selection and Ember in the Ashes with classic tales like Beauty and the Beast, Helen of Troy, and Asian folklore, Elizabeth Lim is at the absolute top of her game in this thrilling yet heart-wrenching fantasy that explores the dark side of beauty and the deepest bonds of sisterhood. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

Ok me and a friend got talking and. heres (some of) the things I personally would do if tasked with rewriting Mystreet.
[very brief mentions of Katelyn, Garte + the Lycan parents :>]
Im totally stealing this idea from @bread--squid--uwu but Aph's name is Aphrodite now. Makes sense with the guys all being into her, still keeps the nickname, makes sense for Sylvanna etc
Reducing the ages. It makes noooooo sense to me that theyre all like, 35. They're fresh out of college, like 21-23.
Magic would either be a big part of the world building or removed entirely. Not a fan of the soft magic system. If removed, Lucinda would be a more like, herbs + the moon kinda witch you know? She also likes DnD
knowing more about peoples backstory! Laurance in particular has such little clarification on his family and upbringing
We get to know about all the shady goings on of the Ro'Meave household because theres no way Garte is a good man i do NOT trust him
Katelyn + Travis don't get back together
Aphmau goes to a different college to the others and meets Aaron (max of 2 years older) there because I'd personally like it more if the rest of the group didn't know him beforehand! That way Gar and Laur are able to be upset with the idea of him. I like the idea that they get so in their own heads that they plan out a whole argument that Aaron just. doesn't take the bait on at ALL and they realise that maybe theyre in the wrong for jumping to conclusions.
The ultima Werewolf thing would have to be totally revamped idc. I dont remember how its explained in the show, but I like the idea of it being a curse on the family possibly by Lucinda's ancestors. (Melissa + Lucinda could have a moment too!)
KC has like a common Japanese name because it reflects her fear of being forgettable (?). Also she is actually asian
CHARACTERS HAVE LAST NAMES. Except for Lucinda because again, I want the magic to be more prevalent and I think its cute that shes kinda the odd one out
Zane is Autistic and its discussed! I want Garroth to learn to respect his boundaries
On the same note, Garroth and Zane actually make up. I think Zane and Laurance being worsties is fun but the brothers need to be on neutral ground at LEAST.
Aaron is introduced early on. I don't really care how, but him being introduced half way into season 1 is partly the reason Aarmau is so rushed
People have identities. Not everyone needs an exploration or a label, but at the very least, Katelyn is Bisexual throughout the series and Garroth, Laurance, Melissa, Lucinda and Teony are some flavour of gay
Teony is more relevant. she doesn't have to be in the main group but I'd love to see her more like she works at the mall or smthn
The Garroth/Laurance/Aph dynamic changes majorly. They still constantly are trying to one-up each other by sweeping her off her feet but its more playful than anything serious. They get super competitive abt it but its still a but of fun. Whether she likes either of them isn't important. What is, though, is that Gar + Laur are absolutely unknowingly competing for eachother's attention. Maybe theres a cringy little moment where theyre like, "Well I would take her to get SUSHI!" "well I would- wait I LOVE sushi!" you know what I mean? also they actually have a conversation about the kiss at the play instead of just incoherently screaming (theres also some of that tho)
The Lycan family dont get a redemption arc
Dante and Aphmau need something because they could be sooo good but their dynamic is lacking so theyre cousins now. Maria and Sylvanna are sisters or something i dont know.
Also, Gene doesnt have that weird thing going on with Aph in high-school. He's now her friend who gives her a twix sometimes and hisses at Ivy
Totally biased but Id really want Garroth and Laurance's queerness explored. If its a first for either or both of them, how they feel about it, how they're navigating it. I want them coming out to not be a big deal but I want it to be a realisation.
I dont remember who came up with this but Laurance had Cadenza dye his hair ginger for a while because he wanted to feel like part of the new family? adorable. love it. Also Caleb doesnt exist purely because he throws a wrench in the adoption thing
The street has a name. I dont care what but it has a name
Id do something different with the maid cafe, not sure what yet. I dont think Aph would own it, though.
Aphmau's character is more of what it was in season one. Like the girl you call when youre drunk at 2am and she makes sure you get home safe and then brings you sweets kinda vibe? shed get you out of a tough situation
Aaron + Aphmaus relationship is a more relaxed version of what it was in season one, too. They can be romantic or platonic, but they like watching movies and teasing each other not. doing whatever they do in s3 and onwards.
PEOPLE SAY SORRY.
Dante & Travis: The Show is a podcast that Dante and Travis run twice a week. Its world renowned (16 regular viewers)
Garroth is british. Britain exists in this universe and any towns/cities/villages Jess named are somewhere within the USA
Laurance characters get consistent colour pallets.
Dante is trans literally just so i can fight off Squid's Two minute Two Dick Dante agenda (/j)

The novel opens with an exchange between Léa and Chéri. They are physically involved, and they argue while Chéri plays with Léa's pearls and thinks on her age. He mentions his marriage prospects, but she seems to take this in stride as they believe their relationship is casual. They have been involved for around six years, and she is forty-nine while he is twenty-five. Léa alternatingly obsesses over getting old and celebrates what she has done and who she has had in her life while demonstrating no remorse over her life as a courtesan. As they often do, the pair playfully fight before making up, and he runs off to meet his potential bride, Edmée. Edmée is revealed to be a reticent girl with a boisterous, rude mother (Marie-Laure).
At this point, there are flashbacks through the course of their relationship. Léa considers Chéri's mother, Charlotte, a competitor but she also appears to be one of her closest friends. When Chéri was nineteen, Léa mentioned taking a trip to the country. She and Chéri argue a little, kiss and make up, and travel together to Normandy where they stay for several months as lovers. At times she thinks that he is so distant, he might as well speak another language. After attempting to have him trained in boxing, the text flashes forward to a more recent time.
Chéri is telling Léa of his upcoming marriage to Edmée and is disappointed by her lack of response. Notably, his mother and Edmée's mother are at war over the couple's future financial arrangements. After their marriage, Chéri is notably depressed. Léa takes her leave without telling anyone where she is going or when she will come back. Chéri does not take this news well and wishes constantly to know more while reflecting on the shocking youth of his young (nineteen year old) bride and comparing her with Léa.
After an argument with Edmée, Chéri goes for a late night walk and eventually ends up with a friend, Desmond. He has Desmond call his house for him and tell them first that he is having dinner and then that he is staying with Desmond for the night. He does not return home for months though. In this time period, he repeatedly thinks of going home or of divorce, yet he does neither. He pays Desmond for his services, yet he never actually sleeps with the women or does the drugs that are provided. In his absence, Edmée writes him to say that she will wait at their home for further instructions.
After having been gone for six and a half months, Léa returns. This spurs Chéri to buy apology gifts and actually return home to his young wife (who happily accepts his return after his three months' absence). It is revealed that Léa had some lovers while she was away; however, she seems uninterested in most of her old habits once she has returned to Paris. Realizing she is being ridiculous, she begins trying to make plans to keep her mind from her longing for Chéri.
Not long afterward, Chéri turns up on Léa's doorstep and she lets him in. He declares he is here to stay and they realize their relationship was one of love. They have sex that night. After awakening, she begins to plan for them to escape Paris discreetly together; however, there seem to be some prior feelings that they cannot move beyond.
They begin to argue, and he must remind her of what a kind woman she typically is and how she is supposed to care for others. He admits that he has been obsessed with seeing her again and could not move past her. Although this may be true, in the light of morning, he sees how she has aged tremendously and realizes that the Léa he longed for is gone. Heartbroken, she thanks him for finding her beautiful and worthy for so long. She says he should blame her for all that is wrong with him, and sends him home to his wife despite longing to do otherwise. As he walks away, she excitedly thinks he may turn around; however, he does not. The novel ends with his back to her as he leaves and him filling his lungs with air the way an escaped convict might.

Ok, so here they come. Birthday Celebration / Share the Love Fest Part 2 (since my love for you was technically part 1 ;))
I'm going to start with my original Tumblr family, though who knows how many are actually still around or will see this. I'm experiencing big nostalgia here and will probably also forgot so so many of those who made my time here special all those years ago, but here goes:
@littlegreenplasticsoldier - always and forever one of my absolute favorite story tellers. The way she puts a story together with something that looks like ease (no matter how furiously the feet are paddling below the surface - I know!) Ali always took such care with our SPN family, weaving compassion, consideration, and respect into all the relationships. And my God, the stories! All were so great and she knows my favorite **cough / Force of Habit / cough** but I recently stumbled across the Winchester Triplets saga again, and man, what fun. I have to give her props for always being willing to take our prompts and build such a great life!
@mrswhozeewhatsis - another amazing supporter of all things SPN fanfiction, Michelle is such a generous and fun writer AND reader. I know she's taken on Pond duties, but I also have a hilarious memory of some stationary!kink. I do think there was more, but here's what I found!
@manawhaat - Mana is another amazing Pond runner. So many great ideas. So much support of the SPN fanfic writer community. Also a great lover of John, along with the boys, and I remember a surfer!au that made me want to dive into the ocean of Winchester.
@sebbytrash - Kale is a writer no matter how much she'll tell you she isn't. She was a founding member of the Pond and such an amazing and giving reader. She used to compile regular fic recs of any and every SPN fic anyone tagged her in and gave such good Dean edit reblogs. She's across the Atlantic from me, so every morning I would wake up to just the stuff of dreams in my feed, mostly thanks to her. She switched to Marvel, and especially Seb, when she really picked up writing steam but it was always fun to see. And I can't forget this little Steve number she made for me.
@withoutaplease - Laur was perhaps the first Sam!girl I connected with on Tumblr. She came on the scene like a freight train and did not slow down. Her boyfriend!Sam series was a dream. These days she keeps me flush with Steve/Stancy/Eddie/Billy fic/art/dreams. It's glorious and I'm glad she found a writing bug again, even if it isn't SPN!
@saenalife - somewhere along the way I got it stuck in my head that Saena was from Scandinavia, so it was always a mystery to me how well she captured the Oregon coast in her fantastic Dean x OFC fic, Gimme Shelter. I always love to see her cross my dash, even if it's not new fic.
I unfortunately never interacted much with @thepriexperience when I was actually active in the fandom, but I follow her and love her random spams of whatever feelings are happening in the moment. You'll have to go to AO3 to find it now, but her Under the Hood Into the Heart series was amazing!
Thank you, Rhi, for letting me relive some fun memories here!
😘😘😘😘

This doesn’t make much sense but it makes a lot of sense to me so umm)
Ok so obviously I MUST combined my interests, so here is my ideas and art of the fnaf animatronics and their respective character of which possessed them matched with the shadow knights in mcd. So I think the general principle is the similar, the children in fnaf are killed and ‘reborn’ to possess the animatronics where they attempted to kill the night guard. (The reasons for this are because they think he’s William afton in the first games, it gets more complicated in the further games like baby trying to escape), as in mcd the sks are killed and then are reborn more literally to serve a purpose to the shadow lord and his power. Both William and the shadow lord do this for power;the shadow lord to expand his army and such and William also for power/ramnant/immortality (for the most part). They both do it sorta to make their creations of the sks and the animatronics.
Anyways that probably didn’t make sense so now I am going to make even less sense.
I matched each of the sks to the fnaf animatronics and who possessed them based on story but also like vibes lmao
GENE-bonnie
so this is less about Jeremy and more bonnie the character animatronic himself. Springbonnie was an early iteration of bonnie, who was then used in fnaf 3 as springtrap from William afton. I think of this is that bonnie as a character as been used by William to kill Micheal, is like gene being a helper to the shadow lord for his overall aim. (This probably sounds like a massive reach but it makes sense to me)
FRED BEAR- Laurence
Ok I half chose this because I think it’s a little funny lol but also because again as a character of Freddy fazbear (not Gabriel) , he has evolved to become glam rock Freddy who helps Gregory compared to the others animatronics do not obviously, the other animatronics are not presumably not possessed or anything so they are programmed to attack Gregory, this is to me similar to how the zombie sks are like.
He goes against Vanessa and what not like Laurence rebelling against the shadow lord. To get into it further, to go with the theory that glam rock Fred is possessed by crying child , it’s similar to me how Laurence doesn’t want people to suffer the way he did, he says himself that he ‘doesn’t like seeing people being forced to do things’, he wants to protect like CC does for Gregory if we’re going based on that theory.
CIRCUS BABY (Elizabeth Afton)- sasha
I can get more into circus baby’s personality since she speaks a lot lol. She is cold and unnerving similar to Sasha but Elizabethan and Sasha pre skification were both presumably kind and caring. Both circus baby and Sasha are slightly grey, circus baby helps Mike through the whole thing until she attacks him at the end, Sasha is similar in her actions, she is somewhat against aphmau as she ‘is close but not too close’ with gene (obviously changed by him alternating her memories) but is also ok with her (and Laurence) she doesn’t really try and do anything against her later on tbh. This isn’t the strongest comparison since the two scenarios are much different but they give me the same vibe lol
FOXY- Zenix
Literally I have no explanation for this other than it just fits to me, if you go with the foxy as the bite of 87’ culprit, it could link to how infamous the zenix absorbing sks is like the bite of 87 is. Foxy is somewhat different to the other animatronic as he isn’t backed off by the mask, it makes him seem a little more powerful and versatile, like how zenix is very powerful in the nether and has alternate means of getting what he wants, he isn’t swayed by the shadow lord you know.
(Will try to post Sasha and laur art soon)
Tumblr media
PUPPET (Charlotte)- vylad
This one makes the most sense to me so buckle in >:)
Ok for Charlotte doesn’t Henry speech to her sound like something garroth would say about vylad ? Or at least I section of it. All of the animatronics here have passed children possessed in them, but I think Charlotte died relates most of vylad she is ‘shut out and left to die’, the details around vylad’s death is vague but it’s implied that it’s similar to that, he was betrayed and died and then left to be tortured in the nether. (Also Charlie’s death is in the cake mini game lol)
The puppet although seen to be sadistic, Charlie is described as having a nature to ‘protect the innocent’ (shown in the way she as puppet set the souls free) vylad is shown to do this with levin and overall has a thoughtful and caring ideas (burning the books to protect the villages, helping Laurence etc). Although, he is not completely innocent, it is similar to me that vylad is good in his true self like Charlie is, although does bad things from becoming a sk like Charlie becoming the puppet. Like foxy, the puppet is not changed by the Freddy mask, she has retained her own thoughts and is seemingly more sentient like how vylad is unchanged by the shadow lord. If we’re going with the charlotte is the Freddy plush in fnaf 4 and that she is trying to help CC after her experiences with the animatronics and what not its similar to how vylad helps Laurence after his experiences as a sk (hahaha linking together Freddy as laur).

kyra 4 + 40, jade 21 + 29, oxyll 10 + 37!!
dankeeee <3
Kyra
Fears: disclaimer i'm not gonna look shit up for this answer so take anything I say with a grain of salt, but I think one of Kyras biggest fears are isolation, rejection, and abandonment. This is a woman who desperately wants to be useful and valued. Just look at how she was brought up in her shitty village, where she was always under threat of being ousted if she outlived her usefulness
Sie hatte Glück, einen klugen Kopf zu haben. Und sie hatte Glück, mit so einem gerade in einem Dorf geboren zu sein, das solche auch brauchen könnte. Und wenn sie es nicht bewiesen hätte, dann wäre sie sofort weg vom Fenster gewesen, wahrscheinlich auf eines der Felder am Rand verbannt und ihr Leben lang mit der harten Arbeit beschäftigt, bei garantiert keine Gnade gezeigt wird. [...] Kyra weiß nicht, wie oft sie gehört hat „Pass bloß gut in der Schule auf, sonst landest du auf dem Feld“. (Multiple Choice, Zur ersten Stunde)
(sidenote: Rhy has something similiar internalized, actually, where he views himself more in the line of what he can give other people and his life in his own village was very much defined by pleasing others and making himself useful... much to think about in d9)
This even plays into her arm thing and the guilt she feels over her sisters fate and her obsession with making things right again. And I mean... just look at the entire Laure thing. We love to joke about how she went along with that entire disaster because she was hot for her big titty goth gf and I mean, it's not like that's not a factor BUT i think the much bigger thing here was actually that Kyra was afraid of losing the support and trust and validation she got from Laure, she was afraid that she would no longer be useful to her, that she would no longer be valued.
Also, I think it would be funny if my mad scientist girlie was afraid of thunderstorms <3
Scent: Kyra smells like musk and hard work, and gravedirt. Probably also hand sanitizer. She's a scientist, after all.
Jade
Autumn: imagine Sora knitting her a scarf, and Jade proudly wears it through the entire autumn. And then they work together to also make a scarf for Delta, and Jade learns how to knit, specifically to also get Sora her own scarf, and then they walk around matchy matchy and it's super cute <3
Also Jade loooves drinking warm coffee in the winter. She's a pumpkin spice latte girlie, for sure
Bedroom: whoops i made a pinterest board
Oxyll
Art: Oxyll would appreciate the artistry of the naked statues in the Adonis hall, without irony or horniness.
Vengeance: Oof. I don't think thoughts of vengeance are ones that come incredibly easily to Oxyll - he's so much more likely to blame anything that goes wrong on his own misjudgment or his actions, to take responsibility there, so to say. But when they appear, they're there to stay. And for example had they both survived I think Ixyll would've *wanted* to take revenge on Tave - but I dont think he would've gone through with it because he knows that's not what Fatima would've wanted. He'd be very bitter about him.

Imitation Luxurious Hermes Constance 23cm Epsom Authentic Leather Handstitched Gold Hardware, Black Noir Rs21877
The bag ought to be smaller than the Wallet On Chain. French label Lancel typically flies underneath the radar here within the States, but it’s a extremely regarded and well-respected model in Europe. Founded in 1876, it’s designed every thing from old-world luggage that appears like it was borrowed from a Titanic passenger to a bestselling bucket bag. In the Nineties, it became a repeating geometric Replica Fendi Bags FF emblem print, and started to appear on the clothing in a big space. After 2000, it turned a square that was spliced. After 50 years, the FF emblem has created hundreds of different variations, but probably the most basic “tobacco brown and black” shade scheme has been retained and has been used right now. I even have seen a couple of of these on-line allready, but they appear to be badly reproduced in that the graphic looks like a watercolor, and never a crisp pen and ink drawing of the unique. replica constance bag If any has any ideas on where to find one low cost, let me know. Am at present working with Jo @ bagsreply & Tracy @ hermesale on a 35cm tri colour & a Celine trapeze. The handles are created from the identical kind of brown sturdy top quality leather-based that allows them to properly arch in a very discrete long form. These are fairly skinny and rounded with a sewing that goes all through their size. The stitching reinforces the shape and firmness of the two handles. Hi Amy, I know where to buy good replicas Hermes bags,please let me know your email tackle or sky.Thank you. Could you please Yutopia tell us about your bag quality if you ordered from hermessale.biz. Their replicas odor of P.u and they aren't real leather. Hey Derek, I by no means ordered from this site something yet, but in accordance with Thepursequeen it’s excellent website. High Quality Designer Hermes Handbags In Stock!!! You're in the right place for cheap Hermes Handbags. Indeed, Hermes Constance has a novel feel delicate however just, whether you are walking or delicate neutral style, it might very nicely play a finishing touch. Perfectly straight stitching is a dead giveaway of imitation Hermes product. A actual Hermes wallet is stitched by hand and can subsequently have a somewhat imperfect stitch line. The perfectly straight stitch is a indication of a machine-sewn faux Hermes pockets.Inspect the Hermes stamp. The authentic Hermes wallet is going to have the phrases written in robust, unbroken silver textual content. Getting the identical Birkin or Kelly can be simpler than getting a Constance! This is why a Constance in any size instructions a excessive value on the used market. Hermès solely makes use of the best high-quality skins for its luggage in relation to materials. The skin and the Taiga leather lv somewhat related. Clean and easy bag physique design, greatly H word bag buckles, luxurious leather-based onerous, full of retro parts. This year may be very well-liked retro bag, hermes can additionally be a best-selling sequence. Hermes Verrou Spring/Summer 2017 chain bag, out there in medium and small sizes, with a selection of colors and supplies. Flip cover design, small and transportable, distinctive design of the plug design, Jianghu folks known as “pistol bag”, is it quite like? We are evaluating this Roulis 23, as a 23cm medium-sized bag, it could maintain A5 measurement notebooks, sun shades and lengthy wallets. Other than that, superb baggage for its worth. Amazing deal, Took 25 days to reach into the Arizona,US. I’m obtained smacked with how good the quality. It’s a medium/small measurement clutch I suppose it’s exactly the same than the real thing but over all great quality particularly for the worth. They’re again now underneath a model new name and new look – and so they now promote unauthorized genuine branded luggage and shoes versus replicas. They settle for PayPal and bank transfers only, too. In truth, that is primarily divided into with and with out tassels. Personally, I think Replica Saint Laurent Bags envelope bag is appropriate with out tassel. Of course, that is the perspective and doesn't characterize the opinions of others. Constance has seen extra of you, the super-large H-shaped logo is too eye-catching, by no means low-key. wikipedia handbags On the first day it was offered, the designer was so happy that he named the bag Constance with the name of his youngster. You know, making a Constance bag requires a Replica Hermes Handbag craftsman to spend sixteen hours to complete it independently.

dating the armed detective agency’s medic
a/n: of course i have to write one for the ADA even though i’m a biased port mafia bitch. there’s a bit more characters here so i’ll try to keep each one short but still very fluffy and sweet <3
Tumblr media
this man is always getting himself injured and even though agency has yosano, fukuzawa thought it would be a good idea to hire another medic who could deal with less life-threatening injuries
ofc dazai flirts with you the first chance he gets and every time he comes into your clinic
dazai: good morning my dear belladonna! the weather is beautiful today, but not as beautiful as you of course
you: YOUR ARM IS BROKEN PLEASE SIT DOWN
although as much as he likes to slightly mess with you, dazai genuinely enjoys coming to the clinic and being treated by someone like you
he likes observing your hands and how careful they are when they bandage his arm or that cute little scrunch of your brows when you’re bandaging his forehead
while on a mission, atsushi and kunikida go the extra length to protect dazai because they know you’re worried about him 
and then one day dazai comes into your clinic again and instantly you think that something has happened
until he surprises you by bringing out a bouquet of flowers
‘if i get injured less on missions, would you let me take you out on a date?’
jokes on you though after you guys date dazai finds every excuse to visit you in the clinic
he’ll get papercuts on purpose just so he can get you to put a bandage on them 
kunikida is annoyed because dazai they’re just papercuts jfc also please go back to work
seeing that you’re always concerned about his health and well-being, dazai finds himself making much less attempts cause he knows the stress it puts on you when you have to bandage him up after and make sure he’s alright
thanks to you our man is able to take care of himself a bit more
even though he is your boyfriend he’s still going to mess with you in any way he can
he’ll barge into your office claiming that his chest hurts because you didn’t give him a kiss that morning
also will highkey hug you from behind even if you’re treating another patient
the first time he meets you is for a physical exam check-up because it was required at the agency and he feels embarrassed at first seeing that the agency’s medic was gorgeous
Tumblr media
atsushi was fresh out of the orphanage so of course he was quite malnourished and still had some injuries from his abuse
you had no idea who’d dare hurt such a sweet boy so you do your best to treat him and instructed atsushi to come in for some follow-up check-ups
although when he comes in for that check-up he talks about how he’s been healthy because he eats a lot of chazuke and you’re like ‘oh no, no, no, please eat other things too’
you end up packing him a bento box because he’s your patient so ofc you have to keep him healthy 
the two of you run into each other a lot in the morning because atsushi tends to come in way earlier than he’s supposed to so you often find him sitting in front of the locked door
thus begins your early morning chats. atsushi’s always polite and never interrupts when you talk and you love how he shows so much interest in whatever you say
atsushi began to realize that he has feelings for you but boy is he bad at concealing them also ranpo kind of busted him in front of everyone in the agency including you
but atsushi was saved by you hinting that you wouldn’t mind going on a date with him at all and he’s ecstatic until he realizes he hasn’t been on a date before
he takes you out to a nice restaurant and insists on paying for everything
nothing much changes with your routine but atsushi likes to bring you breakfast in the morning and the two of you have little dates before going into the office
he knows how worried you get when he goes out on especially dangerous missions but he does everything he can to protect the city and the new home he found with the agency and you
this guy was one of the people, other than yosano and fukuzawa, who interviewed you for the job and you can’t forget how intense he was when it came to asking questions
of course, you answered all of them well but kunikida was very serious that you knew how dangerous it could be to be involved with the agency
Tumblr media
there was a self-defense portion in the interview that you knew about and of course kunikida was the one who added that
to his pleasant surprise, you managed to dodge all his incoming attacks (kunikida lowkey found it hot, like that’s requirement number ten on his list checked right there)
kunikida does get injured a fair amount during missions and he doesn’t want to get dissected by yosano all the time so he goes to your clinic that’s right near the office
he likes how efficiently you work and how gentle your hands are that even when you’re stitching up his wound he almost can’t feel a thing
however, kunikida does have a bad habit of not resting for the appropriate number of days. like, even with a bullet wound he’ll still hobble over to his desk to finish his paperwork
once, he came down with a terrible case of the flu so of course you sent him home only for kunikida to sneak back into the office when he thought no one was looking
you ended up taking kunikida home but poor guy could barely do anything by himself so you took care of him too
kunikida is definitely the delirious babbling when he’s sick so he ends up talking about his list of traits for an ideal woman and how you filled out a good portion of it
when he wakes up (much more sane) he sees you reading that list on his notebook and he’s like WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING
he handed you the notebook personally before passing out and kunikida can’t live it down
you: well, even if i don’t match all these requirements, would you still be interested in going out?
kunikida: yes... please
everyone can tell that kunikida’s about to go on a date because of how nervous he is the entire day
he knows how tight your schedule can be and how busy he is with with work but he always makes time to have his lunchbreak with you
loves to hear about your day and even has some space in his notebook dedicated to any interesting stories you have
Tumblr media
the first time you met him was when he also had his physical check-up which ranpo insisted he didn’t need but fukuzawa made him so he had no choice but to follow
the entire time ranpo’s just like ‘nothing’s wrong with me, see?’ and then you do a simple dental check-up and find that he has like two cavities he didn’t want to tell anyone about it because he’s scared of the dentist *cue ranpo trying to run away and you grabbing him by the poncho*
of course fukuzawa makes him go to the dentist too but ranpo insists that you have to be the one to take him and schedule the appointment and come along
truth be told, you’ve always been pretty attracted to ranpo because you know of his skill as a detective so you were excited to have this day with him
only for you to have to physically restrain ranpo to the dentist’s chair (you even had to call kenji to help) while his teeth was getting checked
ranpo was squeezing your hand the entire time and he was fairly grumpy after the whole ordeal that he wouldn’t even talk to you until he asked if you could get ice cream
you: the dentist just told you to eat less sweets
ranpo: but i neeeeed them
you: fine, how about frozen yogurt?
after the dentist trip, you know how much of a hard time ranpo has with eating less sweets so you decide to leave fruit on his desk as a healthier alternative but he won’t TOUCH IT
after some bribery on fukuzawa’s part (’i’ll acknowledge you if you eat fruit more and also tell atsushi to give you a piggyback ride every day’) he finally concedes
he actually finds himself liking fruit so in the afternoon he’ll swing by the office just in time for you to be slicing fruit
ranpo gets over the fact that you sent him to the dentist and enjoys his time in the clinic eating fruit with you and sleeping on the cots inside
your clinic is where he hides when he doesn’t want to do work and when he pouts and asks you to say that he’s sick you can’t help but go along with it
he’s also super physically affectionate around you. will literally have his body draped over yours sometimes while you work
people start talking about how you two look good there and one time someone asked if the two of you are dating and ranpo’s like ‘of course we are!’
and you’re surprised self is about to protest when ranpo smirks at you and says ‘why? am i wrong?’
lmao ofc he’s not you’ve been struggling to keep yourself from being a flustered mess around him
he’s still clingy around you but this time he comes into the clinic every few minutes to ask for a kiss

Feeling sad and anxious tonight so I’d thought I’d make it worse by asking you about some angst 😌😌
How do you think it would go down if there was an unexpected thunder storm and so 42hoursrry wasn’t home or with y/n when it happened? I feel like he’d immediately feel like shit as soon as he heard the first thunder and drop everything he’s doing to go to where she is and face time her in the mean time so he knows that she’s not like hyperventilating😔 no no no omg and What if like, she was with jo and Laurel when it happened and when Harry finally gets there and starts comforting her it’s the first time that they’ve really seen him and her just being super soft with each other, like obvi they’ve seen it before but not like this, like there is no teasing involved or anything 🥺
i genuinely think jo and laure would be SO SHOCKED SKFODKFKRJF because like. obviously they’ve seen that side of harry many times but NEVER towards y/n or even in front of her????? and they know in their minds. of course he would be because they’re dating now so OBVIOUSLY it wouldn’t be arguing or teasing 24/7 but just seeing it???
like they’re visiting LA and staying with y/n and it’s so rare there are thunder storms there but there just happens to be one on like the third night they’re there.
and jo’s known y/n since they were in kindergarten so she already pretty much knows what to do. she puts on dirty dancing and grabs a couple extra blankets and gathers her and laure in the living room with some of their favorite snacks just to help pass the time but then the power goes off which is like. not ideal especially at a time like this but she knows y/n’s apartment well so she starts getting out candles and things like that.
and then there’s a knock at the door and she looks at laure and laure looks at her and then jo checks her phone which has no service because of COURSE cell service is down and it’s like long past midnight so who the fuck would be at the door right now??? and jo thinks about ignoring it but they knock again and it’s harder this time and then she hears a faint british accent and so she walks over with her phone as a flashlight and looks through the peephole.
and harry is there. harry is there??? and soaked from the rain??? and looking noticeably stressed with his phone with the flashlight on in one hand and his keys in the other and—
“cmon, y/n, open the bloody door!!! s’fucking pissing out there and i’m freezing my bloody—”
jo slips the chain off the door and turns the lock and opens it, biting back her laugh enough that her confusion slips through. “harry??? what are you doing here???”
“there’s a thunderstorm.” he says it so plainly, like that should just explain everything.
“i did notice that, yeah.” jo can’t help the dry response that slips off her lips. “but—”
“harry?“ y/n’s voice peeps out from under one of the blankets, where she’s been curled up for the past two hours, trying her best not to flinch every time the thunder booms outside.
and it’s like the tension just slips out of harry’s shoulders, and the words “hey, love,” roll off his tongue, and then he’s crossed the room, and he’s pulling y/n into his wet chest, and shes…not recoiling??? not shoving a hand against him, complaining about him dripping water on her favorite blanket, not teasing him about looking like a waterlogged dog with his hair down like that. and he’s not making a snide remark about irrational fears, or teasing her about the pillow she has clutched against her, or asking cheekily if she missed him. instead, he just holds her, and she just lets him, like that’s what she’s been waiting for all night.
“harry,” the look of bemusement on laure’s face is identical to the look jo is sure she’s wearing as well. “what—why did you—?”
“there’s a thunderstorm,” he says again, like it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “and y/n doesn’t like to be alone in them.”
“yeah, but we were here,” jo notes the possessiveness that’s creeping into her voice, hiding behind the confusion that’s still there.
“i know. but then the power went out, so—”
“so you DROVE here???? in this storm??? with all the traffic lights going haywire from the power outage???”
and harry just shrugs, and y/n just sighs, and laure and jo look at each other and realize at the same time: those two are in so deep for each other, and they doubt they even know it yet.

Tumblr media
mark had no idea what it was about you that captured his fragile little heart. you, the tiny first time nominee at the ama’s.
nct 127 was once again nominated for an award at the western convention, the team touring around the area as well. the red carpet was flooded with cameras, flashes and intense yells for attention was the only thing mark could hear.
but the moment you started walking down the silk road, it was like all of the sound buzzed down to a silence.
❝ my heart has a little crush on you ❞
you were the only thing the boy could see.
your soft pink gown clashed with the intense red on the floor, the pretty floral print around the chest and waist of the dress all the more brought out your skin tone. your hair was left in pretty curls and mark could’ve sworn he saw a pink flower pin somewhere in there too.
the shy smile you let out the moment the paparazzi noticed you made mark’s heart race, hearing them ask you how you felt about your first ama’s since your debut.
so she’s a newbie, mark thought knowing that was the reason he’s never seen you before.
“how does it feel to be nominated for your first award?” a man asked, flashes all around you. your heart was racing with fear.
don’t fuck up now, you thought to yourself before smiling.
“if i’m being honest, i’m terrified.” you answered truthfully, watching as the group of people in front of you nodded in understanding. “but i’m super excited and grateful to be here, so the nerves don’t really matter.” you awkwardly continued as some cooed at your shyness.
“now i must say that’s a beautiful dress you have on.” a woman with a microphone said causing you to blush.
“ahh thank you!” you gushed, turning to her with warm cheeks. “i was scared it might be too much but my stylist insisted i wear it.”
“well you’re stunning.” the woman winked before a certain group of boys caught her eye. “good luck today y/n! hopefully this will be your first win.” she said before floating to the korean boys a couple feet away.
“thank you!” you called out, watching her go to the group of boys ahead of you.
curiosity struck you knowing you had no clue who they were. once you made it past the runway, you sneaked a look at the group only to have your breath taken away.
they were gorgeous, especially the one in the front.
his big brown doe eyes were shining under the lights and even though they were all wearing the same back suit and tie, this boy seemed to stand out to you.
❝ so immature but these butterflies they keep me laughing ❞
“hey lauren?” you nudge your manager. “who’s that?” you secretly point, not wanting to draw attention.
“oh that’s mark lee from nct 127. they’re the korean boy group that’s nominated for an award.” your manager replied.
she then pokes your sides as she smirks. “don’t tell me you have a thing for the canadian dude!” she says and you yelp from the impact.
“HE’S CANADIAN TOO?” you whispered-shouted to the girl, a little taken aback. so he’s handsome and most likely knows how to speak english?
“it’s always the damn canadians.” you grumbled under your breath as your manager laughed knowing this might be the start of something new.
-
“hyung remember that girl from the runway with the pink floral dress?” mark asks one of their managers. the man nods, a little confused by the question.
“how can you not?” the man jokes, mark nodding with a small smile.
“do you happen to know her name?” the boy asks as
his manager gives him a look. “where is this going mark?”
“no where i swear i just want to know who she is.” mark said, holding his hands up in surrender.
“hmm okay well i’m pretty sure her name is y/n.” his manager responds before being asked by another staff member for something.
“y/n.” mark said hazily, liking how your name sounds on his tongue.
-
mark was in love. there was no other way to describe this feeling. while waiting in their waiting rooms for the show to start, mark took the time to look up your music.
and god was he mad he didn’t know who you were before.
your songs were incredible and your voice held a certain fragility that made mark wanna give you a hug.
she better win, he thought to himself as they were ushered out of the waiting room and into the award show.
-
“oh my god oh my god oh my god.” you whispered to yourself as your heart raced. the award you were nominated in was about to be called and you wished you could hide in a hole and disappear from the crowd.
your manager sensed your nerves and squeezed your hand, silently letting you know she’d be there for you through anything. you softly smiled as you felt your nerves subside.
“and the winner is…” the man called out, purposefully slowing down a bit to create suspense.
mark knew this was the category you were nominated in, and the moment they were about to reveal the winner he held his breath.
please be y/n, he thought in his head as the announcer took another breath.
“y/n!” and if it wasn’t for his self-strength, mark could’ve sworn he would’ve jumped up in joy.
❝ my heart wrote a little song for you ❞
mark couldn’t keep his eyes off you throughout the entire award show. in fact, he was a little worried someone would notice because of how painfully obvious he was being.
but it’s not like you were any better. whenever mark would look away, you’d be looking at him.
“just talk to him.” your manager lauren complained, sick of the heart eyes you’d send to the boy.
so oblivious, she thought rolling her eyes. even she had seen the way he’d sneak glances at you as well.
“shhh.” you hushed her, looking around. it was nearing the end of the convention but you didn’t want to risk anyone over hearing her.
“i don’t know laur, he probably hasn’t even noticed me.” you quietly sighed feeling a bit down.
why would he? you’re just a newbie while he’s been in the industry for years.
“oh you’d be surprised.” the girl responded, shaking her head at your stupidity.
-
“are you y/n’s manager?” a man asked, stopping the woman. raising an eyebrow lauren motioned you too keep walking backstage to your dressing room.
how odd, you thought walking away.
“yes i am. why what’s going on.” lauren replied hesitantly.
the man let out a sigh of relief before continuing. “i’m one of the managers for nct 127 and let’s be honest,” he said letting the woman relax. she saw where this was heading.
“mark and y/n are head over heels for each other.” they both said at the same time.
“you noticed mark’s glances?” he asked in surprise.
“duh who wouldn’t?” she replied causing the man to laugh.
“y/n wouldn’t.” he said back causing them two to formulate a plan.
“y/n i have someone i’d like to introduce to you.” your manager said walking into your dressing room. you sat lazily on the couch still in your dress, your toes aching from being in those heels for hours.
“what’s up lauren?” you asked looking up from your phone.
“meet mark from nct 127.”
and just like that your heart jumped.
❝ won’t you take a listen ❞
the two of you stood awkwardly in front of each other not really knowing what to say. your managers had set you up, playing off the fact that they themselves have gotten along quite well and would like for their artists to meet.
“hey-“
“hi-“
you both started at the same time. you immediately flushed rushing to let him go first.
“uh you can go first.” you timidly responded.
“no you.” mark replied just as embarrassed.
“good grief just ask for each other’s numbers.” the two managers hollered in unison, cringing at the awkwardness in the air.
“y-you wanna get lunch sometime soon?” mark asked with sudden confidence.
❝ and dance with me to the rhythm ❞
you smiled causing him to smile back. “duh.”
