Been almost a month since I last drank, and I still can't think about alcohol without feeling uncomfortable.
I wonder if this will ever go away, or if I'm just gonna be alcohol-averse for the rest of my life. For someone who used to really like alcohol, it's a strange position to be in.

BATMAN AND ROBIN 2023 #1 (Take 6 (yes))
(im not writing this as i go since ive already read the issue before. ill also be mentioning gotham war since this takes place during it (just a warning for spoilers!))
Tumblr media
i just noticed the bat and robin on the cover! so cute
Tumblr media
OH........(just noticed this too) that doesn't look good
Tumblr media Tumblr media
look at them goofing off n having fun
this is cute but the way bruce acts here and in gotham war is so jarring its kinda funny
bruce in batman #137: can't stand my fake ass family
bruce in b&r: me and my son damian 🤗
Tumblr media
bruce is in his "local dilf in the area" era rn
Tumblr media
damian having talia's mannerism that bruce noticed is so <3
and here its confirmed that this takes place during gotham war. not sure how to feel about that
Tumblr media
STILL INSANE OVER THIS baby first self insert fanfic
damian went from drawing hyper realistic gore vent art to anime eyes in the corner
i think it'd be fun if we see damian write more as the story goes on. like him daydreaming n doodling in class
wonder if theres any meaning with damian putting talia as a hero n bruce as a criminal here...or maybe its just a "totally original character do not steal" thing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you dont say bruce 🙄
"the last few years"?? pretty sure the events shown there all happened not even in 2 years since damian turned 14 around the start of the lazarus tournament
also why are alfred n talia not shown there? alfred's death has huge impact on damian (he literally hallucinated him) n talia was there as much as ra's
i dont like how damian looks here but that white connor should be a crime
Tumblr media
"thats enough emotions for tonight father" [slams door]
i wonder why damian is staying with bruce tho (outside of making this book exist) didn't bruce n talia had a custody battle moment™ n damian's like "nah i have my own life (is literally 14)"
Tumblr media
HELL YEAH MY BOY CAN COOK
he's quoting alfred ohhh im gonna sob
this is kinda embarrassing for bruce...like ur son is finally living with you again n he's the one up early cooking?? sir u better step up
Tumblr media
aw he's making tea the way alfred did
*squints* did bruce get his hand back? thats a pretty normal looking hand to me
did damian's comment on it in batman #137 made bruce think "shit i cant give damian any ideas of getting a robot hand" n he just. magically grow it back
Tumblr media
[GLASS SHATTERING SOUND]
gotham...heights? n. not gotham academy? no maps? no damian joining her dnd team?? no detective club finally hanging out with damian??
ik damian got expelled from gotham academy BUT. WHY
Tumblr media
okay? whats the point if he's not going to the same school that his friend went to?
interesting how damian fantasize for a normal life in robin 2021 (with him liking the mundanity of shoujo manga) n now that bruce is offering him that he's rejecting it (or maybe he just rly don't like school which is. fair enough)
wellll just cuz we're not getting maps n the detective club doesn't mean damian's other friends arent showing up right? RIGHT? (maya plz come home)
Tumblr media
THE ROBIN MOBILEEE it looks so ridiculous i love it
HOLD ON. DOES THIS CAR HAVE NO SEAT BELTS?? BRUCE UR LETTING THIS SLIDE?
ik that thing is rly loud too damian waking up the whole neighborhood here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
not rumors abt the batfam fighting getting spread around?? this is so embarrassing omg
am i the only one getting gotham academy flashbacks here? with killer croc n the trio with the fox shark n bird masks
Tumblr media
they're very comfortable with calling eachother father n son while in suits huh. ig everyone in gotham knows that batman is a dilf (who's beefing with his adult children) now
not much to say abt the rest: bruce got shot with something n now bats are attacking him
end thoughts: i hope with all the focus on animals here means that we're getting damian's pets back soon n that gotham war wont affect this book much since i rly want to see damian interact with his siblings again. also is it just me or does the day scenes looks very bright? saturated? it kinda hurts for me to read idk. the night scenes r pretty tho
next issue is damian's first day on his new school that is not gotham academy but im still excited for it! (coping)
bonus bestie corner

Oddly Enough - Part 1/?
Xavier Thorpe x Fem!Reader
Possible Tyler Galpin x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Blood, possible curse words, typical Wednesday demeanor, bullying, jabs at nonverbal people…
Lmk if I missed anything!
Summary: Sisters, Wednesday and Y/n arrive at a new school meant for outcasts. Y/n is one that often surprises people due to the fact she’s known as a “mute”, but never about her healing abilities. Planning to escape Nevermore she comes across someone who makes her feel foreign feelings. The sisters come across more things making them intrigued with Nevermore.
I DO NOT OWN WEDNESDAY OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS! THIS IS JUST A TWIST ON THE STORYLINE OF THE SHOW!
Word count: 7,495
Tumblr media
"One condition, we're not being separated," Wednesday bargained.
Principal Weems nodded with a slight smile. She then escorted us to our room, where our new roommate would be waiting. We walked in and I immediately saw what looked to be 'unicorn vomit' covering an entire half of the room. Including the windows.
"Hi! I'm Enid!" A cheery girl with short blonde hair all but ran over.
"Enid this is Wednesday and Y/n," Principal Weems smiled, "Well I'll let you two get settled in and say goodbye to your parents. Also Ms Thornhill will be in here later to discuss some matters."
As the door shut and I looked over seeing two beds and two desks side by side. My father and Pugsley putting our suitcases on the beds. After a few minutes of lurking around the room and Enid constantly talking about how great of friends we will all be, our parents had to take their leave. Wednesday and I went downstairs and saw them off.
"You girls are just going to love Nevermore as much as your father and I did," Our mother cooed and grabbed parts of our hair and rubbed it. Just as she always did since i could remember... twin things, i guess.
"Y/n, darling, please try and speak more while you're here. This is a place of love and acceptance to people with beautiful gifts! You don't need to hide from who you are!" Mother spoke softly.
I nodded. It's not that I don't speak, its that I don't like to. Why should people know things about me when they don't even care? They like knowing things to feed their own selfish addiction of gossip.
"Oh my little Scorpion and Viper! We will miss you so!" Our father came over and hugged us.
"Bye Y/n, bye Wednesday!" Pugsley said quite sadly.
"You wont last one day without us," Wednesday said.
"I'll miss you guys too," He said then they all got in the car and left.
Wednesday and I went back upstairs to unpack.
As Wednesday went to her suitcases and closet I couldn't help but stare at the monstrosity called a window.
"I can't take this Barbie nonsense anymore!" I huffed and grabbed the step ladder from my closet and went over to the window.
I divided it in half. Enid can have half and so can Wednesday and i, after all it is our room too. Wednesday came over to help after pulling out our typewriters.
"Sometimes, I believe you completely read my mind," She smirked.
As we were finishing Enid walked into the room and stomped over, "What the hell did you do to my room?"
I went over and started typing on my typewriter, completely ignoring Enid.
"Dividing our room equally," Wednesday replied kicking the pieces over to Enid side, "It looks like a unicorn vomited on your side."
Enid went to speak, but of course Wednesday interrupted saying, "Silence will be appreciated, this is our writing time."
"Your writing time?"
"We devote an hour a day to our novels. Y/n showed me your blog. Perhaps if you did the same, your blog might be coherent. I've read serial killer diaries with better punctuation," Wednesday said typing away.
I smirked softly, continuing to write.
"I write in my voice," Enid defended, "It's my truth, its what my followers love."
"Your followers are clearly imbeciles, they respond to your stories with insipid little pictures," Wednesday said getting up and going over to her.
"You mean emojis? It's how people express their feelings. I realize that's a foreign concept to you and your sister over there. She doesn't even speak," Enid said pointing at me.
Wednesdays face darkened at he hearing of her sister being brought up, "When I look at you the following emojis come to mind... rope, shovel, hole."
She came and sat back down.
"I wanted to let you know that there are two d's in Addams. If you're going to gossip about us, at least spell our names correctly," I said watching Enid's face turn to shock at the sound of my voice.
I went to turn around and continue my writing, but my ears were flooded with what i can only describe as torture, which would usually sound like music, but not this kind.
"Turn that off," Wednesday said as Enid started dancing to a horrid pop song.
"This is your last warning Barbie,". I got up and walked over to her.
"HA!" She shouted, claws coming out of her hands, i looked at them unamused, "Back off, this kitty's got claws and she's not afraid to use them!"
Someone entered the room and we all stood innocently. A woman with red hair and red shoes. Whom i can only assume to be Ms thornhill. As we were told she was to stop by.
"Sorry about the mud. I'm Ms Thornhill, your dorm mom," She laughed standing half and half noticing our room was divided, "Is this a bad time?"
She walked over, holding two black flowers and a smile that made me uncomfortable, "Apologies I wasn't able to greet you two when you arrived. I trust Enid has given you the good ol Nevermore welcome."
"She's been smothering us with hospitality. I hope to return the favor... in her sleep," Wednesday said.
I smirked as Enid's face looked slightly frightened trying to uphold her front.
"Well, here's a little welcome gift for the two of you from my conservatory," She said handing us the flowers, "I try to match the right flower to each to my girls. When i read your statements in your applications, i knew these would be perfect."
"Black dahlia's," I said knowingly.
"Oh you know it?"
"Of course, it's named after our favorite unsolved murder," Wednesday added.
"Thank you," I said.
"Okey-dokey. Before I leave i just want to go over a few rules. Lights off at 10, no loud music, and no boys... ever," She said.
"What's the story about going into the local town?" My sister asked, basically reading my mind.
"Passes to Jericho are a privilege, not a right. It's a brisk 25 minute walk, or there's a shuttle on the weekends. The people of Jericho are a bit weary of Nevermore so don't go around parading any outcast stereotypes. Which means keep your claws to yourself and no smothering people in their sleep," She explained.
Her eyes eventually landed on me, "Y/n, I read you statement and i understand you don't talk very often. I just want you to know at Nevermore its perfectly fine to be 100% authentic.  Get out and make some friends. Try and challenge yourself to get out there. You might be surprised," She said handing me a paper labeled 'extracurricular'.
I just looked at her through my lashes.
"Great talk." She smiled and then left.
I glared at Enid and walked back over to my desk.
"What do you see on there that would be most suitable for us?" Wednesday asked sitting at her own.
"Fencing," I simply stated.
*the next day*
Our uniforms were custom made for us and we were also given all black fencing uniforms. We started walking to where the coach was. People stopping to look at us, the freak show of the freaks. We finally got to the mat the coach was observing and one of the fencers fell to the ground.
He pulled off his mask and whined to the coach, "Coach, coach she tripped me."
"It was a clean strike Rowan," The coach said.
"Maybe if you whined less and practiced more you wouldn't suck," The dark skinned, blue eyed girl in front of us said.
The boy stood up and grabbed his glasses from the coach as the girl complained further, "Seriously coach, when am i gonna get some real competition? Anyone else wanna challenge me?"
"We do!"  Wednesday spoke.
"Oh, you two must me the mental escapees they let in," She smiled, obviously fake, "Funny they call you twins, you don't look too similar."
"And you must be the self appointed Queen Bee! Funny thing about bees, pullout their stingers and they drop dead," Wednesday said and i smirked.
'Ooh' was heard around the room as she scrunched her brows in defense, "Rowan doesn't need you to come to his defense, he's not help less, he's lazy."
"Are we doing this or not?" Wednesday asked.
"So which one of you to I get? The busy mouth or the mute?" The girl spoke.
I stepped up.
"Ahh... the mute," She smirked.
People began to gather around us.
"En garde!" The coach shouted as the match commenced.
We put our mask on and got into position. I struck first. She blocked it rather quickly, she came at me with another jab towards by body. Swinging the sword pushing hers away from me, she had me at the back of the mat. I knew exactly what to do as i ducked underneath her sword and struck her chest.
"Point, Y/n!" The coach declared.
We began again and this time i needed to back her up so I tried, swinging towards the left side of her body, she gained the upper hand and snuck her sword through getting my chest.
We both went to our side of the mats and took our masks off.
She smirked, "That first point was, clearly, beginners luck."
I sighed harshly and looked at Wednesday. She nodded.
"For the final point i would like to invoke military challenge.  No masks. No tips. Winner draws first blood," I spoke so everyone could hear.
'Ooh's were heard as the queen-bee was looking quite shocked.
"So it does speak," She huffed.
"It's your decision Bianca," Coach said.
Bianca. That's her name.
(If you have brown/black hair and brown/ dark eyes then this is the next line)
"Lets see if you bleed in black and white," She smirked.
(If you have lighter hair and/or eyes this is the next line)
"Lets see if we can add a bit more colour to this rain cloud," She smirked.
We threw down our masks and i ran at her striking first. She ducked and swung at my feet, i jumped dodging it easily. She took the time to stand and i spun moving to her right to swing again. She blocked it just in time. I grunted and pushed as hard a I could bringing her to the floor. I ran doing a quick aerial over her sword, followed by a swung with my foot towards her ankles. Tripping her would've been a great lead, but agility was on her side. I did a back flip over her leg as she tried to reciprocate the gesture. I swung and just as quickly a last slash was taken at me. I felt a sudden sting to my forehead. She smirked and I touched where the pain came from, with a neutral face of course. Bringing my fingers down, blood. Interesting. I lost.
(If you have brown/black hair and brown/ dark eyes then this is the next line)
"Your face finally got that splash of colour it so desperately needed," She smiled triumphantly.
(If you have lighter hair and eyes this is the next line)
"Too bad you can't share some of that colour with your sister," She smiled triumphantly.
"Enjoy your fed ego while it lasts," Wednesday said.
"You should go to the infirmary," The coach pushed us along.
I sat there with an even more emotionless expression on my face. A bandaid was carefully placed on my wound. Wednesday watched intently.
I rolled my eyes, ripped the bandaid off and ran my hand over the wound. It healed immediately. I looked in the mirror on the bedside table.
"Should've healed it back in there so we could've knocked her ego down a few pegs," Wednesday muttered.
"You're the Addam's twins, right? Y/n and Wednesday?" I heard from behind me.
I stood up and turned around. Both our faces matched.
He inhaled uncomfortably, "Rowan... I know how you feel."
"I guarantee you don't," I shot back.
"My mother told me I'd finally fit in somewhere. Didn't know it was possible to be an outcast in a school full of outcasts, but it looks like you're gonna give me a run for my money," He laughed.
I huffed and grabbed my coat leaving the infirmary. My sister on my tail. We both instinctively turned around looking at the water dispenser, then back at each other. We put on our coats and she opened the umbrella as it was raining. We both paused and looked up, a gargoyle began falling. We both calmly sat there, waiting for our demise.
"Y/N! WEDNESDAY!" A voice rang and then I hit the ground.
I groaned and looked at Wednesday,  unconscious.
"Wednesday?!" I shouted shaking her.
"Lets get her to the infirmary," The boy who saved us said.
The nurse assessed her and told us she would be alright. Although I could heal the bump on her head I couldn't bring her into consciousness.
I sat in the chair next to my sisters bedside as the boy pulled up a chair. He just sat there looking at me with... curiosity?
"Why are you staring at me?"
"I'm just trying to figure you out. What you're thinking," he explained.
"I'm feeling a mixture of rage, pity and self disgust... I've never felt that way before," I mumbled looking back at my sister, feeling incredibly uncomfortable talking to him.
"Yeah, losing to Bianca has that effect on people," He said.
"Then i saw that gargoyle coming down on us and i thought, at least I'd have a imaginative death. Then you tackled us out of the way," I continued, "Why?"
"Call it instinct," He said.
"So you were guided by latent chivalry, the tool of the patriarchy, to extract our undying gratitude?" Wednesday said sitting up as if nothing had happened.
"Mm-hmm. You know most people just say thank you," He said.
"I didn't want to be rescued," Wednesday declared.
"So I should've just let that thing smash you to mush?"
"I would've rather we just save ourselves... but thank you," I intruded.
He smiled softly at me, "Good to see you two haven't changed. If it makes you feel any better, lets just say i returned the favor. You probably don't remember me. Xavier Thorpe. Last time we met i was about two feet shorter, forty pounds heavier."
"What happened?" Wednesday asked.
"Puberty, i guess."
"I mean what happened the last time we met?" She clarified.
I bit back a chuckle.
He looked at me then bashfully at the ground, "Oh, uh... it was my godmothers funeral. Apparently, she was friends with your grandmother and they spent their 20's together in Europe, swindling the rich and notorious. I don't know, we were ten, and we were bored. We decided to play hide and seek. I had the bright idea to hide in her casket. I got stuck as it was headed to the crematorium."
"I had heard muffled screams," I smiled faintly pointing at Wednesday recalling the day perfectly.
"I had just figured your godmother had cheated death and was trying to claw her way out," Wednesday added.
"Either way you hit the big red stop button and saved me from being flame-broiled. So... now were even," He said.
"Actually, Y/n was the one that hit the button. I was going to leave you in there. The thought of the screams excited me," Wednesday said looking at me.
Xavier looked and smiled at me with a nod. I drew my attention to the ground once more.
"What happened to your cut?" He pointed to my forehead.
"Let's just say, I'm built different," I smirked.
*The next day*
I went down to the student supply office to grab some more paper for our typewriters. Later today we're being forced to go see the town shrink. Because feeling more than my entire family wasn't enough i have to go to a therapist who forces me to talk, not only about my feelings, but talk in general. I collected a few packages of printer paper and a few cartridges of ink. I backed out of the office closing the door behind me. Turning to go back to my dorm i ran into someone, the stacks of supplies hitting the ground.
"Y/n! I'm so sorry," I saw a mop of brown hair bend down in front of me and helped me pick up the supplies.
Xavier stood in front of me with a soft smile handing me the belongings.
"Thanks," I mumbled taking the stuff back.
"Do you need some help?" Xavier asked.
I shook my head, seeing as how he also had a handful of stuff. A couple of sketchbooks to be exact.
"Umm.." He started awkwardly, "You busy today?"
"Wednesday and i have to go into Jericho in a bit," I explained.
"For what?"
"The court ordered therapy sessions. I wasn't even the one to put the pirahanas in the pool," I mumbled the last part.
He laughed quite shocked, "Yeah i heard about that, rumors, y'know?"
"Very much so. You draw?" I asked.
"Yeah, a little, i guess," He shrugged looking at his sketchbook.
I held out my freehand to the sketchbook and he reluctantly handed it to me.
I put down my supplies and looked through the drawings; insects, little animals, instruments.
"Watch this," He said taking the sketchbook back and waving his hand over the page.
The butterfly that was on the page came out and began flying around. Honestly, I was astounded. I was hoping it didn't show too much on my face. The butterfly flew around my head and landed on my nose. I saw him smiling at me. He knew. My face went back to normal and I swiped my hand aggressively at the butterfly, making it disappear. He laughed.
"Hey are you going to the Harvest festival this weekend?" He asked.
"How fun, playing stupid carnival games where couples go to win pathetic little plushies. I'd rather be strung up by my toes and left to slowly be picked at by wildlife, but it's mandatory, remember?" I said with zero emotion.
He laughed, "Right, maybe we could play a few games together?"
I gave him a suspicious look, picked up my stuff, and then walked past him to my dorm.
I walked back into my dorm and saw Wednesday there with, "Thing?"
He waved.
"Mother and father sent Thing to spy on us, but he has pledged his undying loyalty to us. First order of business... break out of here," She suggested.
"Right with you sister."
The clock read 1:00. Wednesday and I started getting ready for our therapy session. We grabbed our bags and I put Thing into mine along with some extra belongings, essentials to running away. We went out and met Ms Weems and got into her car and drove to Jericho.
We pulled up to a building and she pointed saying, "Dr Kinbotts office is on the second floor. Other Nevermore students swear by her."
"And you'll be waiting here until we're  done?"
"Perhaps afterwards we can stop by Weathervane for hot chocolate," She suggested with a smile.
"Principal Weems, this feeble attempt at bonding is beneath you," Wednesday said getting out of the car and I followed, "and chauffeuring your students around is clearly below your pay grade."
"Given the history of you two, I'm sure you're intent on running away. I'm here to prevent that from happening."
"Good luck," I said slamming the door.
"Hopefully it'll be one at a time, so one of us can escape from the window and the other discreetly from the door," I said.
"Meet at the Weathervane?" She asked, I nodded.
"Hi girls! You must be Y/n and Wednesday," Dr Kinbott looked between the two of us, "How about we start with Wednesday."
Wednesday walked away holding 5 fingers behind her back to me. Meaning five minutes maximum.
They disappeared into the room and I began looking for an exit.
"How simple," I mumbled to myself seeing a back door.
I walked out and made my way to the Weathervane. I was given a small map of the town. Thankfully the town is compact.
I walked inside and up to the counter where a boy was messing with a broken machine.
"Holy crap!" He shouted obviously startled by my presence, "Do you make a habit of scaring the hell out of people?"
"It's more of a hobby," I replied.
"You go to Nevermore, didn't realize they changed up the uniform," He said.
"I need two quads over ice, its an emergency," He just stared at me, "It's 4 shots of espresso."
"Yeah, I know what a quad is, but spoiler alert, the espresso machine is having a seizure, so all we have is drip," He said with a cringe.
"But drip is for people who hate themselves and know their lives have no real purpose or meaning," I said.
The boy looked over at the man pouring himself a cup of drip coffee, the man put the cup down and walked away shamefully.
"What's wrong with your machine?" I asked looking too.
"It's a temperamental beast with a mind of its own, and it doesn't help that the instructions are in Italian," He said looking them over, confused.
I walked around the counter and grabbed the book reading the instructions, "I need a tri-win screwdriver and a four-millimeter Allen wrench."
"You read Italian?"
"Of course. It's the native tongue of Machiavelli. Here's the deal, I'm going to fix your coffee machine, then you're going to make my coffee and call me a taxi," I said.
"Uh, no taxis in Jericho... try Uber?"
"I don't have a phone. I refuse to be a slave to technology," I explained fixing the machine.
"Then you're out of luck. Where are you going anyway?"
"That's on a need-to-know basis... you have a valve issue. I've seen it before," I explained, thankful it was an easy fix.
"Weird... you have one of these monsters at home?"
"Steam powered guillotine, my sister and I built it when we were ten," I said, "We wanted to decapitate our dolls more efficiently."
"Sure, Grim Reaper Barbie... makes perfect sense," he said weirded out.
The steam stopped.
"Thanks. I never met a Nevermore kid who got their hands dirty," He said putting the lid back onto the machine.
"I'm Tyler, by the way. I never got your name, or is that on a need-to-know basis too?"
I opened my mouth to say my name, "Y/n!"
I turned and saw my sister, "Wednesday."
"There's two of you? You don’t look too similar," Tyler flinched, looking between us.
"I've been trying to find a way out of here. No taxi's, nearest train is 30 minutes away, and I just fixed the coffee machine," I explained.
"Good work sister. Took me forever to escape that prison, she doesn't back down easily," Wednesday huffed.
Tyler looked quite frightened, I huffed, "Not an actual prison."
"Well I'll tell you what Y/n, to show my appreciation, how about I drive you to Burlington?"
"Perfect, put those quads in to-go cups," I said turning to walk away.
"But I don't get off work for another hour," He explained.
"I'll sweeten the pot," Wednesday said holding up $20.
"Twenty whole dollars... tempting, but no," He said quite sarcastically.
"I'll make it forty," She said pulling another $20 out.
"Listen, Wednesday, one fun fact about me... I can't be bought, so either wait, or find someone else to drive you," He explained.
She huffed and walked away to a booth and I looked at Tyler, then followed her.
"I had a vision. Did you see the man with the pick up truck full of apples?" She said, I nodded, "He gets into a serious accident and breaks his neck."
I was about to reply when three boys saw us and smirked, entering the shop.
"Trouble," I mumbled.
"What's a couple of Nevermore freaks doing out in the wild?" One said.
"This is our booth," said another.
"Why are you dressed like religious fanatics?" Wednesday asked.
"We're pilgrims," The leader said like it was obvious.
"Potato, po-tah-to," She replied.
"We work at pilgrim world," He said slamming a brochure on the table.
"It takes a special kind of stupid to devote an entire theme park to zealots responsible for mass genocide," I said looking it over.
"My dad owns pilgrim world! Who are you calling stupid?" He said aggressively.
"If the, buckled, shoe fits," Wednesday added pushing the brochure back to him.
"Guys, back off," Tyler cam over and grabbed one of their shoulders.
"Stay out of this, Galpin!"
"Yeah, stay out of this," I said standing up, Wednesday followed.
"So tell me, freaks, you ever been with a normie?"
"We've never found ones that could handle us," Wednesday spoke, then after a couple seconds added, "Boo."
He flinched back and his friend grabbed her shoulder. I turned grabbed his arm and punched him in the stomach. He hunched over clutching it. Another one took a swing, we ducked and he punched his friend in the face. Wednesday grabbed one by the arm, twisting it and shoved him into another. The guy I punched in the stomach finally recovered and swung at me, I dodged his uncontrollable rage with ease. My turn, I spun around and did a 360 crescent. Kicking the boy in the face. All three were on the ground, groaning in pain. I smirked.
"So where did you learn those king fu moves?" Tyler asked wearily coming over to us.
"Our Uncle taught us. He spent 5 years in a Tibetan Monastery," Wednesday explained.
"Was he a monk?" Tyler asked looking at us.
"Prisoner," I said looking at him.
Just then an officer walked in, "Tyler what the hell is going on in here?"
"Dad... umm, they were harassing some customers, they put them in their place," Tyler explained smiling softly at us, clearly impressed.
"These little things took down three boys? Did you help?" The officer asked.
"Dad, I swear, I wasn't involved," Tyler explained.
"Weems," I said to Wednesday.
She looked at the boys on the floor, "Apologies sheriff, these two slipped away from me. Come on Addams girls, it's time to go."
"Wait a minute..." The sheriff said suspicious, "You're an Addams? Don't tell me Gomez Addams is your father? That man belongs behind bars for murder. Guessing the apples don't fall far from the tree. I'm keeping my eye on you girls."
     "Okay," Weems said guiding us out of the coffee shop.
     We got in the car and began driving.
    "Your first day and you two are already on sheriff Galpin's radar. Wish I could say I'm surprised," She said through gritted teeth
    "What did he mean about our father?" I asked looking at her from the passenger seat.
    "I have no idea, but a word of advice... stop making enemies and start making a few friends, you're going to need them. Y/n, you could definitely put your gift to use, helping out in the infirmary," She said bitterly.
    My mouth hung agape as we approached an accident, exactly what Wednesday described to me.
    "Looks like an accident. I hope the drivers okay," She said examining the wreck.
    "He's dead. He broke his neck," Wednesday said from the back.
    "How can you tell from this angle?" Principal Weems asked curiously eyeing Wednesday from the rear view mirror.
    *Later that evening*
    Wednesday and I decided to break out our instruments and practice, hers being the cello, mine being the guitar. We wrote this piece when we were 12, using it as a tool to help us feel better. Thing climbed onto the stand holding our sheet music, turning the page when need be. We played the song together, not realizing we caught so much attention from listening ears in the distance, when we were done we both sighed. Thing tapped on the paper asking how were feeling now.
    "I don't know about you, but I'm not feeling any better," I said honestly.
    "Same. There's just something wrong about this place. Not just because it's a school," Wednesday said thinking about what it could be.
    Enid came out onto the balcony with us, "How did you get those things out the window?"
    "We had an extra hand," I said tuning my guitar a bit.
    Thing waved at her from atop the sheet music.
    "Woah," She said uncomfortably, "Where's the rest of him?"
    "Its one of the great Addams family mysteries," Wednesday said looking over the sheet music.
    I grabbed Thing and a marker writing the information on his palm. Thing jumped down and went back inside, making his way to Tyler Galpin's home, Enid looking at him almost disgusted.
    In the distance we heard wolves howling, it being a full moon tonight. Enid looked into the distance sadly.
    "Aren't you a wolf? Why aren't you wolfing out?" I asked.
    "Because I can't," She showed us her claws, painted rainbow, "It's all I got. My mom says some wolves are just late bloomers, but I've been to the best Lycanologyst, I had to fly to Milwaukee, would you believe that? Yeah, she says there's a chance I may never... y'know."
    "What happens then?" I asked placing my guitar on its stand and standing up, crossing my arms listening intently.
    "I become a lone wolf," She explained.
    Wednesday placed her cello down and joined us on the balcony edge, not quietly as she said, "Sounds perfect."
    "Are you kidding me? My life would be officially over. I'd be kicked out of my family pack with no prospect of finding a mate," Enid said obviously heartbroken.
    "I'm failing into see the problem here," Wednesday said.
    "I could die alone," She said as if it was obvious.
    "We all die alone, Enid,"I said matter of factly.
    "You two really suck at cheering people up," She started crying.
    "Why are you crying?" Wednesday asked uncomfortably.
    "Because I'm upset. Haven't you ever cried or are you above that too?" She shot at her.
    Wednesday began telling the story of when we were six and we took our pet Nero out for a stroll. Some kids killed him. That day she and I swore to never cry again.
    "Tears don't fix anything, so we vowed to never do it again," I explained to Enid.
    "Your secret is safe with me, I still think you're incredibly weird though," Enid said to us.
    "The feeling is incredibly mutual," I said.
    "How would you like your single room back? You just need to show us how to use your computer," I asked her.
    She perked up and nodded.
    I sat down, Wednesday next to me as Tylers information popped up on the screen. I froze trying to remember what Enid said, quickly hitting the space bar, answering the call.
    His faced looked quite shocked, in an uncomfortable way, "Uh... hi."
    "That's Thing," I told him.
    "Is he, like, your pet?"
    I know Thing flipped him off, Wednesday added, "He's sensitive."
    "Look, I know Nevermore is ground zero for all things weird, but this is next level. So what happened to not wanting to be a slave to technology?" Tyler asked.
    "Desperate times call for desperate measures," I said, "Are you still willing to help us?"
    "After what happened today, I figured they'd have you two in solitary," He said.
    "There's the Harvest Festival this weekend, attendance is mandatory. We're going to use it as a cover. If you're still willing to drive us to the train station, we can make it worth your while," Wednesday bargained.
    "I'm in," He said, seeming sad? "And no charge. Consider it a freebie."
    "Why?" She asked him.
    "Because I wish I was going with you. At least a couple of us will get out of this hellhole town," He said sadly.
After a moment of silence, I decided it was too uncomfortable for me.
    "Great. Now how do you hang up?" I asked looking at the keys.
*At the Harvest Festival*
    Enid, Wednesday and I walked through the crowds of people.
    "We need to find Galpin, avoiding any and all disgusting colorful con artists," I said looking around for Tyler.
    "You mean the people running the booths? They're just trying to make some money," Enid defended.
    "Cheating people out of money by rigging the games, who knew?" I said looking over at a boy losing miserably at what seems to be a very easy win.
    Finally Wednesday spotted Tyler, his dad definitely didn't like seeing us as we heard Tyler say, "Dad, I didn't know they were gonna be here."
    "Are you sure you can trust that normie?" Enid asked.
"I trust that we can handle ourselves," I bluntly stated.
"Well, good luck and safe travels," She said going in for hugs, we took a step back, "Still not huggers, got it."
She smiled and walked away.
"Weems," Wednesday muttered, "Split up, she can't watch both of us at once."
I nodded and walked to the right, she went left. Weems smiled at us.
"Creepy," I muttered.
I walked around a bit, seeing a dart game. I looked around and then picked up some darts, throwing them at the target. Popping balloon after balloon, not missing a single one.
"Geez, you get any better at this, you're going to be taking home a whole… pack," Xavier said leaning on the counter watching me.
"Pandas don't travel in packs, they prefer their solitude," I said throwing another dart.
"Okay, subtle hint taken," He said.
I looked over at him, seeing how he wasn't going to walk away any time soon, "You should know I'm waiting for someone."
"Oh yeah? Who's the lucky guy.... Or girl? Your sister? Unusual seeing you two apart," He asked.
"My sister and I will be meeting later," I spoke throwing my last dart.
Suddenly Wednesday came up to me, "Behind the parking lot after the fireworks start."
I nodded and she walked away. I look behind Xavier seeing her walk over and say something to Tyler. Xavier followed my gaze, his jaw clenched.
"Waiting for Galpin?" He asked, tone slightly judgmental.
"Nope," I said as the guy put a giant panda on the counter in front of me.
Xavier smiled and looked between me and the panda. I grabbed it with an eye roll and clutched it in my arms.
"What happened to hanging by your toes, getting slowly picked at by wildlife?"  He smiled walking towards me.
I opened my mouth to speak when I heard a small voice yell, "Ooo mommy! I want a panda like hers!"
The mother, trying to convince the child otherwise, stopped when I walked over and offered it to them, she eyed me a bit, until I said, "She can have it. Seems like she needs it more than I do."
The little girl squealed and hugged the panda, "Thank you, miss!" 
The mother thanked me and they began walking towards the parking lot.
I turned around to see Xavier looking at me with a wide, surprised smile, "What?"
"You just continue to surprise me," He shook his head.
I looked over and saw Principal Weems smiling at the two of us, I needed to get her off my back, "Listen, I'm willing to take you up on your offer."
He smirked and nodded his head in the direction of more games, "Awesome, lets go!"
We walked up to a game where you squirt water on the dot and race other people. I gave him a look like 'really'.
"Come on, Y/n! This one is my favorite!"
I sighed taking a hold of the water gun. The clerk counted down beginning the race, I won.
"Here you go!" He said handing me a small plush spider.
"I gotta step up my game, if I'm going to be competing against you," He laughed.
We walked away making sure not to be in others way and I examined the spider.
"Do you like it?" Xavier asked with a small smile.
I looked up at him cautiously, "I don't hate it, but I still don't see the point."
"There is no point, it's just for fun. Making memories, spending time with people you care about, a stuffed animal may not seem like much, but the memories that come when you look at it is the purpose," He explained.
I tilted my head and looked at him. An indescribable feeling erupted in my chest, I tried hard to identify it. The closest thing I could think of was admiration. But he would never know that if I could help it.
"What a unique perspective, Thorpe," I said softly smiling, so much so I could tell he was fighting to see it.
I looked over and saw cotton candy. I've never had it before. I scrunched my eyebrows together watching the maker twist it onto the cone.
Xavier looked over at what I was looking at and chuckled, "Do you want some?"
I averted my gaze back to him, "I don't know, I've never had it."
He seemed almost offended, "This is unacceptable."
He then grabbed my hand and pulled me over, he picked out a blue one and pulled me over to a table.
"Here you go," He smiled handing me the sugary substance.
I furrowed my bows and picked a small piece off. I examined it in my fingers and looked back up at Xavier. He was smiling like a little kid at Christmas, bouncing his knee in excitement. I slowly put the fluffy candy into my mouth. It instantly dissolved. I flinched.
He laughed, "Are you okay? How is it?"
"Besides the instant sugar rush and the possibility of being boarder-line diabetic, its quite delicious," I said taking some more, then offering some to him.
"Y'know... you're quite different when you aren't with Wednesday. All anyone could say about you was you don't talk. You also didn't talk at all the first time we met," He confessed.
"Well, I fully believe actions speak louder than words. Besides why should undeserving people know what's going on inside my head? Why should they know my needs and desires?" I explained.
"And what would those be? If you don't mind me asking..."
"I have everything I need," I shrugged eating more of the cotton candy.
"But what about what you want?" He urged curiously, scooting closer to me.
"When are you going to be done picking at my brain?" I asked with a raised brow.
He smiled and shook his head, "Never. I aspire to know you."
I felt heat rise to my cheeks, I couldn't understand what was happening. Unusual and uncomfortable foreign feeling. Good thing I'm leaving.
"What do you usually draw?" I asked turning the attention off me, hoping my face wasn't as red as it feels.
"My dreams. Or just whatever I have my mind on," He explained sheepishly picking at the almost finished cotton candy.
"How long have you known about your ability?"
"About 6 years, started when I was ten, and I really got into art. It's my safe space. What about yours?" He raised a brow, "We both know that cut didn't heal naturally that quickly."
"You caught me, I have healing abilities. Discovered them about a year or so ago. Wednesday and I had a run in with some bullies from our last school, they ganged up on us, in the middle of defending ourselves one of them pulled a knife out and slashed down my arm. As I put my hand over it to stop the bleeding it just healed. No more pain, no more blood, just vanished," I explained.
He looked quite concerned, "Well you have such a gift, you could help many people with it."
I shrugged.
"So... how do you and Wednesday know Galpin?" He said slowly, his jaw clenched.
"I fixed his coffee machine the other day when I escaped my therapy session. What's it to you?" I asked curiously.
He shrugged and looked down at the ground.
"You don't like him," I stated.
"He's bad news," Xavier admitted.
I opened my mouth to press further, but I realized fireworks had been going off.
I stood up rather quickly, "I have to go."
"Oh, okay, well... thanks for spending time with me," He smiled sadly.
"Ditto," I nodded with a small smile and ran to where I was supposed to meet Wednesday and Tyler.
Thankfully they were still standing there. Wednesday held a police file. Assuming it was my fathers.
"Our train leaves in an hour, we’re burning moon light," I pressed on.
"Where have you been?" Wednesday asked as we started walking towards his car.
"I was with...." I looked at Tyler, "Someone."
"Who?" She asked.
"Xavier," I said bluntly, but coming to an abrupt stop seeing those three boys from the coffee shop, holding bats.
"Come on, we can lose them in the crowd," Tyler said pulling at my hand, Wednesday already making a break for it.
As we got almost all the way through, I turned around, Wednesday right next to me. Rowan ran into her and she stiffed.
"Wednesday!" I gasped catching her before she hit the ground.
"Is she okay?" Tyler asked.
She finally came out of it and immediately looked at Rowan.
"Y/n, Wednesday, we need to go! Come on!" Tyler grabbed at us.
I knew better though, so Wednesday and I gave each other a look and ran after Rowan. He took off running.
"Rowan! Come back!"
We chased him for a good long while into the he woods, when he finally stopped, sucking on his inhaler, he groaned in frustration, "What!? Why are you following me!?"
"I don't have time to explain, but you're in danger," Wednesday said.
He smiled a sickening smile, "I think you've got it backwards."
Using his telekinesis he shot us back into a tree, groaning in pain as my body hit the bark.
"You two are the ones in danger."
"What're you doing?" I asked.
"Saving everyone from you. I have to kill you."
"The gargoyle! That was you?" I put the pieces together.
He nodded with a crazy look in his eye.
"Its always the quiet ones, no offense Y/n," Wednesday muttered.
Using his gift he showed us a picture of us standing in the courtyard.
"You want to kill us over some dumb picture?" I asked obviously in shock.
"My mother drew that picture 25 years ago when she was a student at Nevermore. She was a powerful Seer, told me about it before she died."
"Rowan, put us down!" Wednesday demanded.
"No! My mother said it was my destiny to stop these girls if they ever came to Nevermore because they will destroy the school and everyone in it," He said aggressively tightening his grips on our throats with his telekinesis.
Wednesday kept saying his name over and over again, trying to reason with him. I closed my eyes fighting for breath. I felt the grip go away completely. I heard a loud growl. I opened my eyes to see a giant monster grab ahold of Rowan. We fell to the ground, looking up only to see the beast claw at his stomach numerous times, his screams finally stopped. The monster took a look at us and ran away. Wednesday and I looked ay each other in fear and then crawled over to Rowan.
I put my hands over his wounds, trying my best to heal them, but once the person has passed, its useless, "He's gone."
The picture Rowan had fell onto his chest. Wednesday and I looked at each other, then the picture. We knew what we had to do, and that involved staying at Nevermore. We left Rowan’s body and went to tell the sheriff. We ran into Bianca and she went to get help. I only saw black afterwards.
Later that night we were expecting a call in our crystal ball from our parents, we were overlooking fathers case file and the picture. Trying to sort out a plan and fit puzzle pieces together.
"Hello my little black clouds!" Father spoke.
"How was your first week at Nevermore?" Mother asked.
My sister and I made eye contact, unsure of how much detail to give. We narrowly avoided death twice, discovered that our father may be a murderer, learned that we could potentially destroy the school, and was mysteriously saved by a homicidal monster.
"As much as it pains me to say, I think you were right mother." Wednesday said.
“I think we’re going to love it here,” I said looking at Wednesday.

My 70s past life a little bit more in depth (trigger warning)
my story is a bit hard to explain, i guess ill have to ask someone to believe in reincarnation in order to read this story, but i guess it wont be too confusing, i don't believe ive changed that much. so i guess ill have to go back, before i was a child in the garden or even before i could speak, back before i could walk, back before my mother even thought of my existence, back before i was born, back to that dark forest in 1974, laying on that cold hard ground ,my arms, my body becoming numb, someone takes my last breath away and the full moon illuminates his desire , a dark desire to possess, as if i was a flower he had picked out in a garden ,but i was a human and so was he, his cold arms trace down my body, my last breath gets trapped in his mouth, the whispers around me grow closer,tiny whispers calling me to leave this body, it is time to leave, it is time to leave a body that's no longer mine, to find a new vessel for all my hopes and dreams and pain, no that body laying there on the damp forest floor ,under the man i once met on an evening stroll down my campus , that body he tears apart with his bare hands is now his vessel for his dark desires and my hopes and dreams need to find a new home now.
'you are so stupid , stupid , stupid, why would you get in to his car? why would you follow him?' i berated myself for a long time after remembering that life. i dont remember how i moved on, there was no door and the only light in the forest was the sunrise above the trees , did i really spend the whole night with him? my killer did not leave me with a neat little guidebook on what do after you get murdered but he did leave me with a name , Ted. now looking back at it saying 'i got in to a VW bug with a man named ted' sounds like the stupidest thing to say, maybe it is. but back then i didn't know of the other girls he took to that ride before me, i didn't know about the other girls who could write an identical story to me.
i was only a 20 something girl that felt incredibly lost in life. even back then i was dreaming of more than life could offer me, i just felt tired of people always asking me 'what you want to do with your life' i don't know, i don't know, my boyfriend at the time seemed to have everything figured out, marriage, work , smoking weed , but how can i marry someone when i don't even know what i want, my parents and i had i suppose just the regular relationship a middle class family in america would have, fights here and there but overall i remember a lot of love,i regret not telling them more often that i loved them, i regret the fights. and i was in love with my bf because he was funny and he had the warmest hugs, he always wanted to know everything inside my brain ,i should have told him that i wanted something else, i never had the heart to breakup with him , he was my friend since highschool. my father always wanted the best to me , for me to marry someone successful so he could provide for me or i could go to a job that would actually bring me money haha in this life i always missed having a father and in that life i always worried about my father,he was always cheerful and in times stern, i wish i had gotten along better with my mother too,she always saw the world differently.
my house had wooden walls that i always found comforting and warm ,they were so inviting, the bricks in my state university were red and depressing to me back then, they were too boring, too dull, the library in the uni was not my favorite place but it was silent enough to let me think and i often would use the phone there.
one night in early 1974 i felt too suffocated being in my dorm room, the open window didn't help at all, my mood started to fall in to a bit of a depressive spiral, i looked out of the window in to the dark street below and decided taking a walk is just what my tired brain needs, the walk from my dorm didn't seem long and i took my time. its strange looking back at something and realizing that that strange feeling of looking behind your shoulder as you walk is just your intuition screaming, i carefully looked behind me as i walked but there was no one there, what was i so afraid of that night, what footsteps did i feel behind me. by the time i reached my destination it was already so late at night, i sat down on the bench sulking in my own thoughts ,i was so preoccupied with them that i didnt notice a man sitting next to me, he was tall, clean shaven, light brown hair, watch on his right wrist. he introduced himself politely, said his name was ted, i wasnt really in the mood to make new friends that night si i politely answered him back and said i have to go back in to my dorm now, since it started to be really late at night.but ted didnt take this as a sign to say goodbye, he followed me down to the dark street, my new ''friend'' kept chatting with me as we turned down the ally way, up to the parking lot , his car , an old vw was standing in the darkness of the parking lot, i should go now i told him as i turned around to head back to the campus, he kept insisting on me staying but i kept saying goodbye, at some point i guess his patience ran out, i turn away from him , i suddenly feel a hand grabbing my wrist, before i could even understand whats going on, my head slams against his car with a force that leaves my vision blurry and my body disoriented, i try to grab in to something, anything , his hands pin me down to the car, the pain in my head just gets sharper and sharper. i wake up again, i am in the seat besides him, my body feels numb, i look at him, his face is blank and he stares in to the road, no emotion, nothing , he doesnt hear or care about me begging him to let me go, i start crying for him to let me go thats where he grabs my hair, pulls me to himself and tells me ''shut up or ill make it worse for you'' thats the moment i realized that i shouldnt mess with him, that he is dangerous, i was too scared to even dare to make a sound or breath too loudly. he keeps driving and then he stops in the forest,near some kind of shed, he forces me inside . and thats probably where i should end that story.
thanks for reading!

Post;
I don’t know if anybody will end up reading any of what i write, if anybody will care about what i write, i guess the only things that matters is how i feel about typing all this out.
If you’re someone that is going through what i did, you’ve recently survived/recovered/got out, i hope you connect with something I’m saying, and maybe you feel less alone. I wish that along my own journey i had someone that cared or i connected to. I felt alone, and everyone that knew about my abuse aided him in gaslighting me, in my eyes that makes them almost as bad as him.
Id say, now 2 years on and sober, I’m doing okay.
2 years sober. Of a slowly inclining addiction. I actually beat it, i came out stronger, i came out the winner.
I don’t have the temptation of using, I don’t have the urge to “just once” have a hit. I get scared taking Panadol for fucks sake. My Endo surgery was a real test to my pain killer addiction, but i came out of that without a bump. I even went to a music festival with them, and yeah I had the thought that i could take some codeine, but I didn’t, i had no need for it. I was too amped up on caffeine.
I don’t have the temptation to smoke weed anymore, I can’t even stand the smell of it anymore.
Sometimes, i wanna do a cap at a concert or a music festival, purely just for the vibes. To be able to experience that in the state of mind MD gives you. However, i can go to kick ons at someone’s house, and rack up lines for others and not even have the temptation to ask for a line, to ask for a bump. I just don’t care for it in that way anymore.
Cocaine. My worst enemy. It’s the one thing I wouldn’t be able to say no to. Every death that has happened to the family in the past year, every terminal illness someone has been diagnosed with, all I’ve wanted to do is buy a bag and get high. All I’ve wanted to do is cope in the best way i know how, with drugs. I know that my god mother would be disappointed in herself, my grandma would be disappointed in in herself, my god father would be disappointed in himself, if i were to react to what happened to them in that way.
I get sad sometimes thinking that i ruined casual drug usage for myself by getting addicted, but some people aren’t built to take it easy on drugs, addiction is an illness, and there isn’t a cure for it. I know that drugs weren’t good for my mental health, hence why i begged him to stop doing them with me, but he wasn’t ready to accept we were both toxic on them and during the come down.
I have officially broken up with drugs.
I have my days where the sexual abuse still gets to me. I think on the other end of the spectrum, i have begun to over sexualise myself, because i was seen as an object for so long, that all i can see myself as. I don’t understand why someone would like me for reasons outside of a sexual nature, that’s something i still have to work on. People prove it to me everyday that that’s not all they are after when maintaining a friendship with me, but the sickness in the back of my mind wont let it go.
I still jump at loud noises, i still snap when something is triggering, i still get shaken up when something reminds me of that time in my life.
I feel i am at a comfortable stage in my healing that this is the right outlet for me. I have done a lot of work and healing to get to where i am today. 2 and a half years ago I wasn’t allowed to work, and now i maintain 2 jobs, where the people like me. I celebrated 2 years sober in August, with the evanescence concert in my state. I have amazing friends who look after me, and cherish me for who i am. They acknowledge that i am sober, and look after me in that regard, they respect me as woman and as a survivor.
It does get better, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the stage that you are in. I promise.

Notes:  can we all just sit down admire satoru? Like the eyes man, the attitude omg... Ah im so sorry in advance  if hes ooc here sksksk it is my first time to write about any jjk characters and I havent fully grasped them yet despite reading the manga anyways i wont be online next week and tomorrow so i decided to publish this ahead of time. ily all and again thank you for the love and support, it does mean a lot *bows down* see you all again when i’ve got time? jskskss i fucking hate college and online classes, satoru save me please soulmate au’s [not read in any particular order nor are they connected, they just share the same trope]  Pretty eyes [gojo vers.] ||  lasting blues [toji vers]
tragic soulmate au series || taglist 
Tumblr media
“Pretty.” were the very first words you uttered in complete awe as you saw yourself in the mirror and no, this wasn’t directed to your physical appearance. It was directed to your left eye, the eye of your soulmate.
Contrasting to your normal boring color on the right, your soulmate’s eyes were ethereal and unreal. How could someone have such pretty eyes? It was completely surreal at that point that you refused to believe that someone with these eyes were actually human.
You placed one hand and gently caressed the left side of your face where the pretty eye rested, “You must be an angel.” you muttered, “Only angels have pretty eyes.”
Thus      like every child     you gave your soulmate a nickname, ‘pretty angel’  and every night before you slept, you’d wonder out loud how your pretty angel was doing, if they were nearby, or anything like that. You wonder what type of food they like, do they like to leave the window open for a cool wind or do they like their chocolate hot or iced.
Yet as you grew older, the pretty angel faded out into your thoughts. The pretty idea of soulmates and love disappeared like the story books you read as a child. The pretty blue eyes on your left is forgotten as life takes a toll on you.
They say death was inevitable, when your mother died in middle school, you watch as your father’s left eye turn to your mother’s color. You watched as he clenched her hand, like it was some last resort of plea. You watched him cry as he passed by the mirrors and you wondered, would it hurt like that too?
It baffles you how beautiful and cruel the soulmate system was.
How every time your father would stare at his own reflection, his left eye would be nothing but a reminder of your dead mother.
Tumblr media
You let out a second meek cough in the quiet bookstore that night, the sounds of the car passing by were nothing but quiet noise to you as you immerse yourself in the literature book you were reading, your students would surely love this one.You let out another cough as you turn around to find a small space to read since standing for too long made you tired too quickly. 
You’re too enchanted by the words of the author that you don’t even notice the rather tall man in front of you.
You look up, ready to give a quiet apology but stop short when you notice how ethereal the stranger looked. Albeit he wore a pair of weird Lennon shades at this time of night, he reminded you very much of an angel with his snow white hair.
You don’t even notice how your left eye is returning back to it’s normal color, the stranger does though and it surely was odd to see his eyes on a stranger.
“Well,” the stranger has a shit-eating grin decorating his handsome features, he definitely looked like trouble for sure, “This is unexpected.”
He lowers his shades and your eyes immediately widen as you suddenly cup the left side of your face, you’d recognize those unique eyes anywhere, after all, you had those on your left eye since you were born, “Y-You.” you muttered, the shock momentarily eating you up.
“Yeah, me.” He grins, loving the sudden attention, “Wow, I was expecting something like fireworks or flowers to appear.” He suddenly teased, bending down to your level.
Now that you notice it, he was very, very tall.
“I…” You blink, trying to gain your composure, “Wow…”
“Did I pass your expectations?” it’s been a few minutes since you started talking and all he has been doing is teasing you. 
“You do look like an angel.” You complimented and his eyes widened at the rather out-of-place compliment, “Your eyes are very pretty, thanks for letting me borrow them for twenty-two years.”
Gojo Satoru thought he had the upper-hand, after all, you looked quite meek but when you said those compliments, he was sure that you were going to be the teasing one in this whole-soulmate thing.
So he tries to one up you.
“I’m Satoru Gojo but you can call me tonight.” He grinned, trying to tease you once again, the corny pick up line sounds suave but your blank expression says otherwise.
“I’m Y/N L/N and  think I should call you in the morning, it is quite late right now and I still have classes at eight am.” You mumbled, looking down at your watch, “How about you just walk me home, then?”
“Okay.” Satoru immediately raises his hands, signaling that he was giving up, “First off, you should be more hyper aware that I may be a serial killer.”
“Are you?”
“What?”
“Are you a serial killer?” you repeat, “That would be awfully disappointing if my soulmate was one since I’d immediately give you up on the police. I’m not interested in being in a Bonnie and Clyde type of thing and I think it’s too early for me to die.”
“You’re very upfront about these sorts of things.”
“Well, you’re very teasing for someone who just met their soulmate a few minutes ago.” you shrug, “So, are you going to walk me home or not?”
“Ah, bossy too. I love the attitude already.”
“We’re spending our whole lives together. You might as well get used to it.”
You’d think the idea of soulmates would scare you after the firsthand experience with your parents but curiosity always got the best of you and the white-haired man proved that maybe it would be different this time.
Throughout the few months you’ve spent with him, You’ve noticed that Gojo Satoru and you may be alike in some ways but in most ways, he was different. 
First, he was enigmatic. You’ve known the man for a couple of months now and you’ve been going out on dates but you don’t know much about him except that like you, he’s a teacher at a good school and he tends to be conceited when he talks about his personal skills as a teacher.
“...What are you doing?” Satoru asked, peeking from behind your shoulder as you type in the grades of your student for your class.
“I’m grading my students.” You muttered, it was after dinner at your place and he was lazing around your place, the sound of faint jazz music could be heard throughout your small space and the wafting smell of freshly baked brownies filled the room, “Aren’t you supposed to be doing something since you're a teacher?”
Satoru quirks a brow as if you had said something odd then it seemed like realization had dawn upon him at that moment.
“Ah, I’m not doing much since my students are on break.”
“Didn’t you say that last time?”
Silence filled the room and Satoru breaks it off with his very famous ‘heh’ that made you inwardly roll your eyes and chunk the pillow that you’ve been hugging towards his direction, “Stop slacking off, you’re a teacher.” You scold him mildly, followed by a small cough.
“Ah, Y/N-chan. You’re so mean to me,” He frowned, handing you the mug filled with water, “...No fair.”
“You're a teacher and you’re slacking off.” You deadpanned, ignoring his sly ways of trying to get you in his arms, “How is that even fair?”
“My students can handle themselves so well that I don’t need to babysit them.” He hmphed,  arms crossed and head held up high in a rather arrogant manner. You could only only scoff back a reply at his rather haughty attitude but you’ve gotten used to it to the point where you just roll your eyes.
“You’re a very bad teacher, Satoru.” 
“Hey, I am considered one of the best and it’s an honor-”
You clicked your tongue and just pinched his cheek in reply to get him to stop drawling on about his achievements. You wondered if you dated a man child or something.
Second, despite his teasing nature and good looks, he’s a rather shy bean and has some insecurities about it too, maybe it was because there were moments where you couldn’t really understand your soulmate and his puzzling life. He didn’t tell and you didn’t want to pry because you technically both had your whole life to get around that subject.
Luckily, you seem to have found a remedy for moments like that.
“Satoru…” You called out to your soulmate who was staring at the nutrition content of the wafers on his hand, “Satoru!” 
“Oh, sorry. What were you talking about?” he finally snapped out of his daze and turned to you who was standing there, hand on your hip. The crispy wafers on his hand are long forgotten. 
Your soulmate is good looking, alright. If anyone were to pass by him they wouldn’t see the minor zilch of worry in his eyes.
“Are you alright?” You ask, walking closer to him, completely serious.
“...You aren’t going to leave me, right?” 
You raise a brow at the sudden question, wasn’t he too young to have some mid-life crisis? Was this because of the soulmate movie you watched late last night about the soulmate leaving their other half to rebel against the system and because of his partner’s family?
“Why would I leave you?”
He blinks once, then twice, the only sound that could be heard was the familiar music playing throughout the grocery store, it was as if no one was there during the mid-day. Satoru proceeds to look away, “I don’t know. What if you realize that you don’t like me as your soulmate and you followed what the dude did in the movie?” he started to mumble, mouth pressed on a straight line.
“Ah, the whole rich in-laws.” you blinked, “Don’t tell me you’re a son of some huge clan in japan that’s loaded and I’m going to be a disgrace to your family name or something?”
It came out as a joke at first, it really did and you were going to laugh but when you notice the straight face he has on, you realize it was anything but a joke.
“Oh.” 
“Yeah, Oh.” 
“Aren’t I supposed to be the one asking that question then?”
“What?” He almost half-yelled, eyes wide behind his usual shades that he seemed to wear a lot, “That doesn’t make sense!”
“Neither does your question, Satoru.” You frowned, massaging your temples, “I should be the one asking you that, are you going to leave me?”
“Of course not.” He sputters out.
“Then there goes my answer too.” You replied, huffing out as you grab the sweet wafers on his hand to put into the cart, “You’re very weird.”
“You’re weird.”
“No, you are.”
“You seriously asked me if I’d leave you because of your rich family in the middle of the day.” You deadpanned, inching closer to him to the point where your lips are brushing against his.
“This is unfair.” He huffed, suddenly turning red, “You’re attacking me in broad daylight.”
“Oh dear.” Your beguiling eyes, enjoying his rather embarrassed state, “This isn’t attacking, Satoru.”
Then you closed the distance between you two, his eyes seemed to widen behind his shades at your forward approach, clearly you guys never did PDA. You took this as an opportunity to lick his lower lip so you could slip your tongue in and as he starts getting into it and placing his hand to cup your ass, you pull away with a big smile on your lips, “That’s attacking.” you grinned.
Satoru seemed to have regained his senses quickly after that rather heated public make-out session, he placed his hand on top of his mouth and feigned embarrassment, “My, My, I didn’t think you’d enjoy those types of things in public.” he was back to his normal teasing self.
Well, that seemed to have worked very well.
“Mhm,” 
Yet unknown to you those thoughts still lingered in his head, it wasn’t just his family that he was worried about, it was also regarding his job as a jujutsu sorcerer       something he has yet to mention, he’s not even sure if you’d believe him       it’s a normal occurrence for people like him to die in this occupation and he’s scared that one day, you’ll see your left eye turning back to his eye color with no valid explanation.
Not only that but the amount of people who’d go after you to get to him, he clenched on the shopping cart tightly
“I’m tired.” You cut his thoughts short and Satoru turns to you, unlike him, you weren’t physically active so you tire easily, even joking around that you were a granny in a child’s body, “Can we sit down after this and get some gyudon?”
“Sure Y/N.” he grins, giving you a one-arm hug and kissing your temple.
Third, he’s terrible with kids, period, no questions asked. 
Your eyes narrowed to slits as he brought in one of his students named Megumi, the boy is quiet and compared to your giant and teasing soulmate, he’s serious. In fact he was more serious than the tiny pinky of the white-haired man.
“...Are you kidnapping a third grader?”
“He’s one of my students.”
“You don’t even know the first thing of looking after kids.” You pointed out, “And didn’t you mention that you teach high school students?”
“Well,” he drawled on, “It’s kind of a long story but he’s technically a genius.”
You let out a stifling sigh, “You’re impossible.” you mutter, bending down to the small boy’s level, “Would you like something to eat in compensation for him annoying you?”
The boy nods mutely.
“I wasn’t annoying him!” He corrects.
“He looks very annoyed standing next to you.”
“That’s literally what he looks like!”
You roll your eyes in reply and turn to the young boy, handing him a pastry that you had brought earlier. You  watched Megumi eat his pastry in front of the television that played some child-friendly show as you let out a soft cough and pour yourself some water
“Are you alright?” Satoru asks, resting his head on your shoulders.
“Yeah,” You replied, “Why’d you ask?”
“You’re looking quite pale these days.”
“Maybe it’s the allergy season, already.”  you nonchalantly replied, taking another gulp of water, “You’re terrible with kids, by the way.”
“That’s why I’m a high school teacher, Y/N.”
This connects you to your fourth observation, he’s nonchalant and easy going but he harbors a rather deep worry for you to the point where you wonder if he was really your soulmate or your mother incarnate. Three years into the whole soulmate thing with him, you still couldn’t help but think that he’s doting nature was quite adorable.
You feel like you’re coming down with a cold these days, your head has been throbbing and your cough is worsening. Satoru’s eyes are filled with nothing but worry as he handed you some medication. Your soulmate was now a mother hen and if it were different circumstances, you’d laugh it off.
“We should go to the doctor.” He nagged you once again.
“I’m literally going to sleep it off.” You hoarsely replied, “I’ll be fine, Satoru.”
“You literally sound like you smoked a pack with your voice, are you sure?”
“I am.” You glared, “Don’t sleep-”
Before you could even finish what you were saying, he flops right next to you in the bed, “-I literally told you to not sleep next to me.” you scolded him.
“A mere cold won’t phase me.”
“I swear to god, Gojo Satoru. I’ll kick you out.” He ignores your ministrations and snuggles his head on your neck, his warm breath tickling it, “You’re impossible.”
“You love me.”
“Sadly.”
“Hey.”
“I’m kidding.” you let out a quiet chuckle, looking down at your soulmate and running your hands through his white hair, “I love you very much, you idiot.”
“Hard same.”
“Never mind, I take it back.” you giggle.
And after a rather short playful banter between you two, you find yourself sleeping and snuggling on his long limbs. You think all is well, you really do. That was until you wake up later at three am in the morning with a loud coughing fit. Satoru immediately sits upright and opens your nightlight but what he sees next, scares him more than the curses he has ever encountered.
Your sheets are now stained in blood from the coughing fit that had just happened and you're completely taken aback too, completely breathless.
“Y-Y/N…” He gulps down, quickly taking the sheets away from you, “Let’s go to the hospital now, please?”
Tumblr media
“...L/N-san, have you been getting coughing fits before this?” the doctor asks, looking up from your chart. Satoru watches you shake your head as you clench the paws of his jacket, the doctor takes off his glasses, “How about coughs that don’t seem to go away? Getting tired too easily?”
Satoru doesn’t like where this was going, he doesn’t like where this was going at all.
“Um, just some dry coughs and I’ve always been an inactive person.” You quietly replied, contrasting to your usual bright and teasing demeanor, you looked too tired this morning and Satoru just hopes it’s because he dragged you out of bed at four am to get yourself checked asap.
“Y/N-san, has any of your family members been diagnosed with lung cancer?”
The whole room is silent and you could almost hear a pin drop, Satoru feels his knuckles suddenly turn white, “I recalled my okaasan died because of that.” You replied silently and the doctor nods feverishly.
“...Y/N-san...It pains me to say this but the reason you’ve been experiencing this is because of the tumors located in your lungs.” Satoru feels his heart drop when he hears those words, “We have to do further tests to confirm-”
“Do it.” Satoru cuts the old doctor off, his hands are visibly shaking already, he hopes that this was just a misdiagnosis, that this doctor was just a bad one or better yet whatever excuse his mind could make up at that moment, “Do all the tests needed for Y/N, please.”
Fifth, he’s very supportive towards you and your impulsive decisions. If he could join you in it, he would but you usually decide against it.
It’s another quiet night for you as you sit across from your soulmate at the dinner table. You’ve grown awfully thin and your hair was starting to fall off due to the chemoradiation, this day marked the third month since you found out that you have lung cancer just like your mother. Surgery was apparently too risky so the safest option right now was this treatment. 
You don’t deny the anxiety eating you up every day, specifically the fear of death, you’re even more worried for Satoru since not only had he been paying for your treatment but he had opt to take care of you, saying that his job would be fine without him since you were going to get better soon anyways.
“Would you still love me if I shaved my hair?” You asked, your voice still quite hoarse.
“You kidding me? I’d still love you even if you turned into a roach.”
You immediately crinkle your nose in disgust, “That’s disgusting.”
“Honest reply.”
Truthfully, the man had been your rock these past three months. You knew how hard it was for him to be happy around you, how he had put on a brave front and remained positive saying that this was just going to be a rough couple of months and you’d be back in no time despite the bleak outlook.
It kept you sane amongst the tragedy.
“I wanna shave my hair.”
“Like right now?”
You nod, “Can we use your electric razor?”
“You want me.” he points to himself, “To cut your hair?”
“I wouldn’t want anyone else to do it.” You grinned.
And that’s how you ended up in your bathroom after dinner, Satoru’s shades on the side and his concentration directly on your scalp. You had literally told him that he just needed to do it the same way as he shaved his beard but he was still scared. Apparently, he had never shaved anyone’s hair before.
“...Okay, Y/N. Here goes…” He proclaimed, switching the razor on. As bits and pieces of your hair fall to the ground, you feel your cheeks getting wet and your shoulders tense, Satoru is quick to notice the switch of emotion and immediately turns the razor off before bending down in front of you, “Woah, woah… Y/N….”
“I-I…” Your lips are quivering as the tears fall faster when you see his pretty eyes staring back at yours, you try to let out a laugh but instead it comes out as a choke sob, “Sorry, this is stupid. I’m literally crying over fucking hair.”
“No, of course not…” He replies, enveloping you in a hug, “Of course not.”
Satoru feels you start to shake in his arms and he knows he should keep his emotions in check, he’s a sorcerer for crying out loud but seeing you break down for the first time in three months had him shaking too, you didn’t deserve all this, fuck, you didn’t deserve any of this at all!
“Would you like me to shave my hair so you’d feel a bit better?” he asks. After recovering from your breakdown, you had asked him to continue shaving your hair because you might as well be done with it.
“Please don’t.” You reply, wiping your tears away, “We’d look like eggs.”
“Cute eggs, you mean.” He corrects, teasing you and trying to cheer you up, this was all he could do and he hates it. 
He really hates it.
What good was the title of being the strongest when he couldn’t save you from all of this?
Lastly, if you hadn’t highlighted it enough. He has pretty eyes, contrasting to your dull and boring ones, you always loved how different his eyes are. Sometimes you wondered why he dared to hide them behind his crappy and overused Lennon shades.
“Can I see them?” 
Your room is dimly lit as Satoru sleeps next to you on the hospital bed, you were growing weaker and frailer by the day and you could see the toll it took on your soulmate. You were heavily reminded of your father who was sitting right next to your mother on her deathbed.
“See what?” He yawned.
“Your eyes.”
“You’re awfully in love with them, huh?” 
“I’ve always been in love with them from the moment I saw it in the mirror.”
Silence envelopes the room with your statement and as requested, he takes the shades off and now you’re greeted by the most beautiful blue eyes that you love to look at in the reflection since you were a child, “Pretty.” You muttered, raising your frail hands slowly to cup his face, “Pretty eyes.”
Satoru takes in a deep breath as he places his hand on top of yours, the silence is heavy. You both know what’s about to come in the next few days, you’re lucky if you even last a night. Yet he doesn’t want to talk about it, he shuts the topic off quickly when you try to even raise it.
“Yeah.” he mumbles, staring at you, “Pretty.”
You let out a quiet laugh, “I doubt it, I’m anything but pretty now.” your voice hoarse, making him lightly squeeze your hands, “Will you be bringing Megumi tomorrow?”
“Yeah, the brat said he saved enough money to get you your favorite pastry.”
“That’s good.” you blinked, “I’m tired.”
Satoru feels his shoulder tense at your words, they were so plain yet at the same time so heavy, “Should I call the doctor?” he asks. You shake your head and just snuggle on his chest.
“No,” You mumbled, inhaling his scent and basking on his presence, “I want your warmth next to me.”
“Y/N?”
“Hm?”
“You know, you’ve always had prettier eyes.”
Yet you don’t reply and he feels your grip on his sweater lessen, he doesn’t even need to see his reflection to know that his left eye has returned back to your (e/c) ones.

Tumblr media
Amy had to forcefully cut the call, in order to shut her brother and she new that this will make him angry. But she didn’t need a pep talk for not getting wasted in the club before her interview. She could handle her brother afterwards and the interview was important. She wandered here and there and settled on the bench. She felt like she is being watched from behind but didn’t find someone. Just then a stunning woman with an icy demeanor came towards her.
“Amy?” stern woman said .
“ yes that’s me “ she replied .
“I am Nicole Anderson, VP of operations at Raines Corp. I will interview you . “ she said .
Amy was surprised to see that she was going to be interviewed by someone so high at post but her queries were eased when she reminded her that they take their hiring process very seriously and she followed her in the conference room keeping her confident look .
“ now then. The Raines Corporation is a global leader in technology and innovation . Why exactly are you interested in being the executive assistant to our CEO ? “
“well…” Amy took a deep breath and continued , “ I’d love to help make the world a better place . what I admire most about the Raines Corporation is your dedication to global innovation and improvement. The clean – water initiative …the vaccine for the cerella virus …the green energy project… you guys aren’t just getting rich. You’re trying to help people, to make technology that’ll save the planet. I can’t think of anything better than being a part of that.”
“hmm……a good answer. A bit cloying , perhaps, but Adrian might actually like that “ Nicole said with an appreciative look.
Just as she was going to speak the next thing , the door at the back of the room swings open , and a handsome man in a perfectly – tailored suit strolls in.
Intelligence sparks through his eyes . He was extremely charming , with his black obsidian eyes assessing her , her already killer nervousness now peaked a whole new level.
“ Adrian I wasn’t expecting you…” Nicole asked unable to hide the surprise in her voice .
Adrian as in Adrian Raines …well all escalated very quickly for her .
“ I had a free minute. Is this the candidate ?” he asked taking the authority in his hands as he decided.
Professionalism and seriousness reflected in his voice .
“ yes …but I’ve just started the interview and—“ Nicole asked stammering .
“ I’ll take over from here “ he cut her off not wanting to take any excuses .
“……of course sir , go right ahead “ she surrendered .
Adrian sat across Amy , eyes burning right through her . He has never seen such a beautiful person in his entire existence , god knows how would she be as a person .
Amy’s nervousness grew even more when his eyes bore through her but she remembered once more , she is Amy Richard Parker and nothing in this world ever scares her , she remembered her brothers’ advices on professionality and confidence and recalled her dad’s proud thought about her and her mother’s loving smile . Now that was enough to calm her down , so she put on the brave and fearless smile again on her face and straightened her back.
“ Amy , is it ? “ Adrian looked at her and saw her hazel brown eyes which her so hypnotizing , with all his strength he prevented himself from being lost in them .
“ that’s right “ she said interrupting his thoughts .
“ tell me Amy , what do you desire ? “ he asked her and she was surprised at the question .
Amy was already so mesmerized from him that this question surprised her.
“ You mean ……why do I want this job ? Because I – “ but was interrupted by Adrian .
“ I didn’t ask why you want this job. I asked what do you desire . “ he asked seriously and professionally.
“ I desire ……PASSION “ she answered after thinking fir a while .
“ oh , really ? “ he asked , his brows raising , he was in true sense intrigued by her answer .
“Sorry , if that is too personal but I am just being honest . I want to feel deeply. I want to experience life , live every moment like my last. We never know when is our last moment , it is better to live our life to the fullest than to regret it afterwards . That’s what I desire “ she answered honestly and it was the true answer she saw what happened to her family everything was good and happy then suddenly they lost everything , she do not want to regret anything .
“ I can relate“ Adrian was impressed internally but didn’t expressed it. He supressed a smile to reach his face. He was truly impressed by her desire to live and feel and experience. He now looked at her resume .
“ lets see here … graduated college 3 years ago …masters in communication …interned at Mannon financial…volunteered in San Torbida and France abroad for a year “ he read out and again was impressed from her but wondered why it took her an extra year to sign up for this interview or for that matter any other one .
“ yep that’s right “ she said .
“ well , how was that tell me in three words “ he asked .
“ difficult. Enlighting. Rewarding. “ she replied easily .
“ good , this job can be challenging and unpredictable , are you comfortable running unusual errands ?”
“Absolutely “
I have been doing them since a long time now , she thought to herself , smiling .
“ Handling confidential information ? “
“ I can keep a secret “
You wont even realise how many I am keeping right now too , she thought again and smirked .
“ Working nights ? “
“ Always been a night owl “
Okay , I atleast told him one thing fully without strings attached , she smiled while thinking .
“ Good , Anything else I should know about you ? “
“ Hmmmm …… I have got WORLD CLASS people skills “ , she said with a proud smile .
“ Oh , really ? “ he asked with questioning eyes .
“ I was voted ‘ most likable ‘ in my high school class . Also ‘ most popular ‘ and ‘ best smile ‘ . Technichally you are not supposed to win in multiple categories , but I was able to persuade them . And also the cherry on the top I was the PROM QUEEN “ , she stated out all of her achievements proudly and remembered how happy and proud her father was to see her that day . She and her brothers has always been the brightest in the whole family , anyways. Suddenly feeling nostalgic and tears building in her eyes she averted her gaze on the floor.
“ Thus proving your point “ said a grinning and impressed Adrian , but he saw a glint of sadness in her eyes and he doubted that he saw tears too , and was unable to understand why counting her proud moments made her sad .
“ exactly” Amy said after controlling her emotions and forcing a smile.
“ one more question “ Adrian leaned forward hands folded on the table and with an intense expression , told her the story of a man who got a genie lamp and destroyed everything , and then finally asked her about what should his final wish should be .
“I think his final wish should be to undo his first two wishes “ she said after thinking for a while .
“because ?” Adrian asked curious to know her theory .
“ because he already had everything he could ask for a family and many friends …what could he ask for more it was more than enough …all he wanted or ever needed was right there in front of him …this is a story of temptation and greed …he should have never played this game …all now he can do is making things as they were before “
Her answer was something totally honest … Adrian glanced at her and then noticed how true each and every word was . she was not only beautiful but also quite intelligent …in true sense beauty with brains.
She was quite interesting too …Adrian personally never saw such a person in his entire life … and he needed to know her …he knew that it is a huge risk and a mistake but he already did that when he decided to interview her himself …now he couldn’t resist her … so then he does the only thing he could do …he knew that Nicole will be a big trouble after this but guess he was okay with that if it was what would keep this girl around .
Then he grins brightly at Amy and says
“ You’re hired “
“wait what ? …seriously “ Amy asked with wide eyes , she was surprised , how in world is it possible that someone gets hired so fast …this was weird to her … but of course she was happy .
Adrian left an inside giggle watching her surprised reaction …she looked adorable with those wide eyes …his smile grew even wider … and he extends his hand …which obviously she took .
‘ oh my god …his skin is impossibly smooth…and hold so firm …wow he is really handso-……no no no …stop brain stop thinking …no eyes …don’t look in his eyes for too long … fuck …, I am a disaster …stop cheeks don’t turn red …god please ‘ she thought .
Good god if god wanted to kill her please kill her in this exact moment …someone save her from this embarrassment …she was a disaster with wide eyes blushing cheeks …FUCK.
Adrian saw her flustered reaction which was by far the cutest thing he saw in his life … his vampire senses made her blushing cheeks clearly visible …the dark pink tint on her cheek made her impossibly adorable.
“welcome to Raines Corporation “ , he said with a bright smile
They made eye contact for just moment but everything stood still for that particular moment …it was mesmerising .
In that moment Adrian didn’t knew about Amy but he knew that they were going to go a long way .

Aaah I know I’m late to the party but this literally came to me today at work after watching Train to Busan with my hubby yesterday 😅
Summary: you and your boyfriend stay in for Halloween for a movie night, and the movie of choice is Train to Busan! Not only your boyfriend is a scaredy cat, he also asks you a pretty heavy question that may affect your relationship.
Pairing: Jung Hoseok x reader
Genre: fluff, domestic, established relationship au, idol au
Word count: 1600
Warning: none other than it’s heavy with plots and spoilers of the movie Train to Busan! And of course depiction of JHS in the story is pure of my imagination.
Halloween has always been one of your favorite events in the year. You like cosplaying, making your own costumes and putting on an alter ego even for just a couple of hours. You even came up with this year’s costume right after Halloween last year. You were excited when you found a beautiful red trench coat in a vintage shop just a few days after, complete with the red wide brim hat. Unfortunately because of the pandemic, your Halloween plans are cancelled, and your debut as Carmen San Diego has to wait for another year.
Fortunately, because of the pandemic, your boyfriend’s travel plans abroad are cancelled, and for once he is able to spend Halloween with you. Despite his busy schedule for the upcoming comeback, he has made sure he has 31 October free. You both are pleased to spend the night together at your place, away from the other members, for your Halloween movie night. He even bought matching Snoopy pyjamas- yours has Snoopy and Woodstock jumping out of a pumpkin shouting ‘Boo!’ and his has poor Charlie Brown clutching his heart in shock.
You know your boyfriend is the jumpy type, screaming and squealing at the smallest sound. And he has been very adamant that you will not be watching any horror movies of the supernatural type. So you have chosen Train to Busan and Shaun of the Dead. Although both are zombie movies, there aren’t many jump scare scenes and the gore level is pretty tame. You are quite sure your boyfriend won’t be hanging on to you for dear life throughout the night.
Hoseok settles on the sofa with a big bowl of popcorn on his lap as you start the first movie, Train to Busan. He claimed he has seen it before, albeit he covered his eyes 99% of the time.
He is still quite relaxed over the opening scene, until the dead deer on the road came back to life. He sits closer to you, pressing his side tightly against yours.
“Hobi-ah, it’s not even 5 minutes into the movie!” You tease him.
“The deer, YN, it’s a zombie deer!” You chuckle and pat his head. He laughs and tries to relax, but you feel your body starts leaning to one side with Hoseok pressing so much onto your other side.
Hoseok makes some comments as the movie unfolds- how cute the little girl playing the daughter is, how good looking Gong Yoo is in his suit- and you know it is just his way to calm and distract himself over what is to come. He hides behind your back when the injured young woman gets into the train and squeals when the little girl saw a person getting jumped by a zombie at the train platform.
Everything goes downhill from there. He keeps telling the characters to run, to hide, to fight the zombies, all the while with a deathly grip on your hand. You even had to save the bowl of popcorn from falling off his lap because he is moving too much, agitated.
“It’s ok Hoseokie, I will protect you,” you coo at him.
“Ah, YN, I should be the one protecting you but I don’t think I’ll be able to do anything.” He laughs nervously.
“No babe, we’ll work together, right. I’d arm myself with a baseball bat to smash the zombies’ heads.” You tilt your head. “You know, I don’t understand why they don’t just aim at their knees. Break their knees, they wont be able to chase after you.” You wonder out loud.
“Wah YN, you’re really thinking seriously about this.” Hoseok is practically sitting behind you know. His hands are on your shoulders, massaging them gently except for the few times when the zombies get too close to the characters and he squeezes your shoulders hard. Super hard.
“Of course, in an apocalypse we must think critically to survive. I’d kill the zombies, you can be in charge of food. Rationing, cooking. You’re much better at planning than I am. And when I’m tired of killing zombies, you can give me shoulder massages.”
Hoseok chuckles at that, and kisses the back of your head.
You both continue the movie, Hoseok now sitting behind you and you between his legs. You crack up a few more jokes, pointing out some of the mistakes the characters in the movie commit, and promising your boyfriend all those errors have been etched on your brain to ensure you wouldn’t do the same in a zombie apocalypse. Hoseok is more relaxed now, laughing and teasing at how serious you are planning your and his survival.
Until you come to the scene where the selfish executive pushes the high school girl to the zombies to save himself.
“Poor Wooshik,” Hoseok says, “he has to see his girlfriend turn into a zombie!”


You scoff at the scene, especially at the part where Wooshik’s character is cradling his girlfriend and apologising to her. “It’s stupid,” you comment, “he’s gonna die soon.”
And sure enough, once the girl has stopped convulsing and truly turned into a zombie, she bites her boyfriend.


“See!” you shout. “He’s so stupid, he’s survived all this while only to die because he can’t leave his girlfriend!”
Hoseok pulls your body aside, half turning it so you can face him.
“Babe, if I got bitten by a zombie, you’d stay with me, right?” He asks, eyes serious and voice earnestly worried.
“Of course not! You’ve been bitten!” You answer, perhaps too quickly.
“So, you’d leave me behind?” His voice is rising, full of disappointment and hurt.
“Well, do you want me to die with you or to continue surviving?”
Hoseok looks puzzled at your question, and unable to answer.
“I mean, if I can put you in a place where you’d be confined after you become a zombie, yeah I’d stay with you,” you think out loud, “but say in that same situation like in the movie, where you’d easily jump me and eat my brains, I’d probably kiss you goodbye right after you get bitten then I’d run to save my ass.”
“I am seriously hurt, YN. I can’t believe you’d leave me.” Hoseok pouts.
“Well if I don’t leave, YOU would kill me! Is that any better?” You counter.
He huffs and you both continue watching the movie in silence. You find it funny that Hoseok would take it so seriously and you want to laugh at the silliness of it. But you also know you need to do some damage control to cheer up your sunshine.
“Hobi, in an apocalypse, we have to think logically and critically. We can’t let emotions make decisions for our survival.” You turn slightly so you can drape an arm around your boyfriend. Your position has shift so now you’re sitting sideways in his lap, and you kiss his cheek tenderly.
“I love you, and I’d never ever leave you, you know that. And even if I had to, because you’re turning into a zombie, I’d be crying and crying over losing you for days, months, and even years. I won’t stop thinking of you. And I’d be blaming myself for failing to protect you. And I give you permission to haunt me to my dying days as my penance.”
You turn his head to face you, and you kiss him softly on his lips. “I love you, Jung Hoseok.”
“I love you too, YN,” he replies, wrapping his arms around you and kissing you back sweetly.
Then he suddenly lets go of you, and you stumble back on the sofa. “Oh my god YN! Gong Yoo! That evil executive bit him!”
Hoseok is practically fuming, “Ah, that selfish man, I hate him! Why does he have to bite Gong Yoo? That poor girl, she now has to see her father turn into a zombie!”
You right yourself up, staring at your boyfriend in amusement. “Aish YN, I can’t believe Gong Yoo is turning into a zombie.” Hoseok is truly looking very, very affected by the turn of events in the movie. And when Gong Yoo’s character throws himself off to save his daughter, you are pretty sure your boyfriend is in the brink of tears.
Hoseok is now leaning forward, and asking you if the little girl will survive. You feel like telling him that no, the girl will become a zombie too just to tease him. But he is gripping your hand so hard at the ending scene of the movie, shouting at the soldiers not to shoot the girl and the other survivor. And when the girl starts singing while crying, Hoseok is shaking your shoulders while still screaming for the girl to survive and live.
Once the end credits roll, Hoseok plops back on the sofa, breathing heavily in relief. You look at him, and announce, “OK, let’s not watch Train to Busan anymore. This movie does not do you, or us, any good.”
“I agree, YN, it’s just too sad. Too sad!” He laments.
Too sad? You scoff and swat your boyfriend. He reacts in his typical manner- eyes wide and face full of innocence while asking you what he has done to earn a smack on his arm. You jump on him, tickling him and pretending to eat him like a zombie would, and he trashes around, laughing hysterically, trying to escape you.
He finally manages to flip you and pin you down. His laughter dies down to a soft smile, and he leans down to kiss you.
“I love you, my zombie killer. Happy Halloween.”
Thank you for reading! 💜

Warning extra long ask lmao:
The last three chapters broke me. 😭😭😭
But the worse thing was reading first two paragraphs of ch 31 and having it go from Patroclus’s narrative to third person narrative because Patroclus is dead so he can’t tell the story anymore 🥺🥺😭
I have so much to say so i’m gonna use quotes to help:
“A prophecy,” she said. “That the best of the Myrmidons will die before two more years have passed.”
She draws down the blanket, releasing me into the air. She cups my face in her hands. “Be careful tomorrow,” she says. “Best of men. Best of the Myrmidons.” She places her fingers to my lips, stopping my objection. “It is truth,” she says. “Let it stand, for once.” Then she leads me to the side of her tent, helps me slip beneath the canvas. The last thing I feel is her hand, squeezing mine in farewell.
No. My hands flurry in the air like startled birds, trying to halt the spear’s relentless movement towards my belly. But I am weak as a baby against Hector’s strength, and my palms give way, unspooling in ribbons of red. The spearhead submerges in a sear of pain so great that my breath stops, a boil of agony that bursts over my whole stomach. My head drops back against the ground, and the last image I see is of Hector, leaning seriously over me, twisting his spear inside me as if he is stirring a pot. The last thing I think is: Achilles.
WHY??? Why does Patroclus have to be the person of the prophecy. They made it pretty obvious that it was him but my God actually reading it I-
Calm down Chiara. Say this properly.
WAIT NO THERE IS NO WAY TO SAY THS PROPERLY PARTOCLUS IS DEAD 😭 AND THE FEW PARTS WHERE ACHILLES DOESN’T KNOW HE’S DEAD YET MY GOD I JUST STARTED BAWLING IT HURT TOO MUCH
HIS GRIEF AFTER PATROCLUS DIES IS JUST SO RAW I COULD LTERALLY IMAGNINE PATROCLUS IN THE TENT AND ACHILLES CRYING OVER HIS BODY AND MY HEART-
But he cannot feel it. There is a numbness in him. The writhing field is like a gorgon’s face, turning him slowly to stone. The snakes twist and twist before him, gathering into a dark knot at the base of Troy. A king has fallen, or a prince, and they are fighting for the body. Who? He shields his eyes, but no more is revealed. Patroclus will be able to tell him.
HE SEES THE THING IN PIECES. Men, coming down the beach towards the camp. Odysseus, limping beside the other kings. Menelaus has something in his arms. A grass-stained foot hangs loose. Locks of tousled hair have slipped from the makeshift shroud. The numbness now is merciful. A last few moments of it. Then, the fall.
He snatches for his sword to slash his throat. It is only when his hand comes up empty that he remembers: he gave the sword to me. Then Antilochus is seizing his wrists, and the men are all talking. All he can see is the bloodstained cloth. With a roar he throws Antilochus from him, knocks down Menelaus. He falls on the body. The knowledge rushes up in him, choking off breath. A scream comes, tearing its way out. And then another, and another. He seizes his hair in his hands and yanks it from his head. Golden strands fall onto the bloody corpse. Patroclus, he says, Patroclus. Patroclus. Over and over until it is sound only. Somewhere Odysseus is kneeling, urging food and drink. A fierce red rage comes, and he almost kills him there. But he would have to let go of me. He cannot. He holds me so tightly I can feel the faint beat of his chest, like the wings of a moth. An echo, the last bit of spirit still tethered to my body. A torment.
I’M MAD AT BOTH OF THEM FOR BEING STUPID IDOITS FOR ACHILLES NOT LETTING HIS PRIDE GO AND FOR PATROCLUS FUCKING GETTING HIMSELF KILLED BUT I CAN’T EVEN STAY MAD AT THEM BECUASE HELL THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND THEY DIDN’T DESERVE ANY OF IT
And then Pyrrhus? I want to kill the asshole:
“When I am dead, I charge you to mingle our ashes and bury us together.”
There's is a slight pause. “Your father and his companion. Patroclus.” “And why should this man be buried beside Aristos Achaion?” The air is thick. They are all waiting to hear Menelaus’ answer. “It was your father’s wish, Prince Neoptolemus, that their ashes be placed together. We cannot bury one without the other.” Pyrrhus lifts his sharp chin. “A slave has no place in his master’s tomb. If the ashes are together, it cannot be undone, but I will not allow my father’s fame to be diminished. The monument is for him, alone.” Do not let it be so. Do not leave me here without him. The kings exchange glances. “Very well,” Agamemnon says. “It shall be as you say.” I am air and thought and can do nothing.
Pyrrhus’ hand closes on the shapeless, blowing dress of the princess Polyxena and yanks her towards the altar. “This is what my father’s soul deserves.” He will not. He dare not. As if in answer, Pyrrhus smiles. “Achilles is pleased,” he says, and tears open her throat. I can taste it still, the gush of salt and iron. It seeped into the grass where we are buried, and choked me. The dead are supposed to crave blood, but not like this. Not like this.
And then the way Achilles just becomes a cold killer after Patroclus dies reading that part felt so bad because it wasn’t Achilles anymore and i was so glad when he died. But then Patroclus didn’t get a proper bury and i freaked because why??? I thought the book might end with him not being reunited with Achilles in the underworld and i had another good cry because seriously that would be the most unfair thing. I was so, so, so happy when Thetis wrote his name.
So basically i’m not okay right now and ever time i think about them before the war happen my eyes fill with tears because they were just so happy and innocent and in love and it hurts to think of what happened during the war. I’m glad i read this book thought, but i know the pain wont go away for a while watch me punish myself by reading all the fluffy scenes 😭
@in-love-with-themoon did you finish yet? I realize i may be spoiling for you, sorry about that! 😅 tell me if your finished the book! And i will send you bunches and bunches of tissues
Sending you lots of love, hugs, ice cream, and tissues!! 💙
I swear I had to take a break after reading that book
The last 3 chapters are just pain
Tbh I was crying since they said goodbye to Chiron because Achilles told him that they were going to come back in a few days and I was like nope you are not and even Chiron knew they weren't coming back 😭😭😭
Since the prophecy said that "the best of myrmidons" I was like fuck is Patroclus and this is bad
The scene that broke me was when Patroclus said that they didn't say the words (I love you) because they would have more time to say them, like in the night when they talk about their day and I was like please tell him 😭😭😭😭😭
THE MOST PAINFUL THING IS THAT EVEN WHEN PATROCLUS KNEW HE WAS GONNA DIE, HE TRIED TO STOPPED HECTOR BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT IF HECTOR KILLED HIM, ACHILLES WOULD KILLED HECTOR AND THE ACHILLES WOULD DIE AND HE DIDN'T WANT THAT 😭😭
AND OMG I WAS SO MAD WITH THEM, WITH ACHILLES FOR BEING SO STUBBORN AND WITH PATROCLUS FOR FIGHTING EVEN WHEN HE KNEW HE DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE!!! 😭
YES I KNOW WHEN ACHILLES IS SURE THAT PATROCLUS IS GONNA COME BACK AND EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE FINE, BUT WE KNOW THAT HE IS ALREADY DEAD 😭😭😭😭
ACHILLES GRIEVE BROKE ME HOW HE DIDN'T WANT TO SEPARATE FROM THE BODY AND HOW HE JUST WANTED TO KILL HECTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
AND I WAS CRYING MY EYES OUT WHEN HECTOR'S FATHER TALKED WITH ACHILLES AND TOLD HIM THAT THEY SHOULD LET THE DEAD REST, AND ONLY AFTER THAT ACHILLE AGREED TO BURN THE BODY 😭😭😭
WHEN ACHILLES DIED WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT FINALLY HE COULD BE REUNITED WITH PATROCLUS 😭😭😭
Don't let me get started with Pyrrhus I hate that jerk so much I was happy when thetis said he was dead!, When he was taking decisions on his father's name I was like stfu you don't even know him!!
And for real I thought they would never be reunited and that Patroclus' soul would be strand in the living world forever I was crying but then thetis appeared and for once in the whole book she wasn't a bitch!
Yes before the war they would never imagine what the fate had for them and it's so sad because they just wanted to love each other, and their love was so beautiful and I love their communication because no matter how bad the things were they always tell the truth to the other 😭😭😭
Believe me I already reread their fluffy scenes and it's never enough! 😭
I'm glad you enjoy the book too, even when it left us with a void in the heart!!

Justice's Flight
okay so here is the third episode in the justice arc featuring the half qunari half elf Harel from @w-h-4-t much love lethalan
Taras feet thudded as she ran, heart dead in her chest. You knew better her mind called, you knew how this would end. Foolish child you knew, she gritted her teeth against the painful thoughts. She used everything in the Vir Tanadhal. She ran along stones, swung from branches to break up her track, and forded every stream. She had to ensure that no one could find her, not ever.
Harel and Cole found the track of the Great stag easily enough and took off after Tara. Soon enough they found the site of the "ambush" and stopped. Cole breathed "scattering scared flighty yet flightless fleeing, falling." Harel looked over at the slight young man "mmm that sounds like.... well Tara's very stony. Scared? Ok maybe that is her." Coles eyes widened "mamae I am sorry mamae I....void blackened hate, glass scraping, I don't want to be the beast again, obsidian shards-" Harel cut him off promptly grabbing the boy "hey breathe, boots on the ground, air in your lungs we're trying to find her, breathe you're okay you're here. Cole looked up with his watery eyes at harel "she hurts so much, sharp glass tearing, she is drowning in the dark." His eyes filled with tears at the soul wrenching agony he could feel. Harel stared at the staged site "shems might fall for this one, but in the clan we called it Falon'din's faint. Stage an attack so the pursuer looses interest in your trail. Harel turned and saw the tears on Cole's face "hey, we're going to find, we will light the darkness okay? we wont let her drown. I wont let you drown either, we are going to be okay.
"Clawing creeping darkness....there" he pointed a trembling hand to the southwest. There was nothing to show her passage but Harel had expected that. Any clanfam worth a damn would know how to evade capture. "She really doesn't want to be found" Cole whispered, Harel nodded studying the area. "really does.... I mean I'm pretty good at tracking from when the clan would leave me behind but.... she really wiped herself off the map." "Swiftly spinning, thunder rumbles in the clouds even when it wants to be a flame." Cole stood wanting to help needing to help, Harel muttered pacing the clearing. "Where is she, were would she go," Cole stared at the sky "Move like brother, think like father, faster, go faster safety in seeking danger." Harel stopped at the words "do....wait....do you think you can follow the feeling? trail off the fear like you do?" "find the hurt?" Harel nodded "uh...yes... like feel out the pain like you do and keep following it till we find her?" Cole looked to the southwest "I can try....but it might make me disappear she is hurting so much..." Harel looked that way too "so long as one of us finds her, she gave up everything for that fucking bastard." Harel's eyes glowed a faint green at her words. "But we are not going to let her go, are we Cole?" Cole's eyes grew haunted "bright in the darkness wearing its skin loosely-" "FOCUS! Follow! we wont let anything happen to her, not again never again. You said she was going that way?" Cole nodded. "Then that is where we will go," a soft trumpeting noise cut her off. The inquisitors white hart trotted into the clearing shaking his head in grief huffing. "Oh you poor sweet thing, Tara left you all alone" she patted the beasts snout "its okay we are here now." Cole looked at the massive white stag "he... he saw her flee, saw her go there beyond the trees past there fleeing with the sun." Harel's eyes opened wide in sudden panic "she, she is heading for the arbor wilds SHITE its gunna get her killed DEAD." Harel felt the fear seizing her heart, "OH MYTHALS FUCKING BREAST BAND that place is deadly!" she shook Cole by the shoulders "she cant survive there! Tara is strong but the wilds will eat her alive!" Cole looked up at the bigger woman "death with purpose, safety in silence... I think that is her plan." "Well her plan is fuckin STUPID. We need to get to her before she gets anymore bright ideas! She is not going to sacrifice herself for some dumbass Templar idiot. We are going to bring her back and if he wants to play mage killer then I'll" a deep dangerous growl rumbled in her chest "I will bring it down on him, he wont hurt her... ever."
Harel swung onto the harts back and pulled Cole up behind her. His soft voice accompanying the thud of the hooves "knotted, gnarled, gnawing, the pain of knowing, of being seen, sheltering inside my heart, oh Mythal what if I kill again. Charred bodies.... burning hate... but now I know the faces, everyone I love, everyone I protect crushed like ash. A new templar an old dance, I cannot let it end the same have to stop have to run. The screams the hiss of burning flesh in armor, Mamae! she is cold so cold. Its safer to run let them think me lost, Dorian will know I cannot lie to him. Harel's heart was heavy as stone listening to the pain that tore at her friend. "She's got so much pain and she just keeps adding more, I don't know how she is still going Cole."
"The lion and the serpent bind me to the light, breaking away old walls and hurt. New love in true forms swirling like honey in his tea, eyes of amber look at me with kindness, I cannot let go but I must for them."
"The serpent will know she cannot keep this from him, he sees her and loves her anyway. He will look in the book eventually, but she will be too far gone by then. The lion roars and she runs to save him from her blood in his mouth. The lion tests his chains, roaring as the whip cuts into him but this is for his own good, his fangs start to show as the links break, to break her would break him.
"I am a weapon I have no right to love him, and now he hurts and its all my fault. Soon the hunt will begin again just as before, The Templars will hunt me and I will flee."
Harel looked into the darkness of the trees as Cole whispered all Tara's fear and hurts to her. The weight grows on her shoulders and she thinks of the horrible pain of being so alone; of finally finding people who love her only to have the spirit she was forced to be bound to rip all of it away. We'll change her mind, Dorian knows, he will do anything to stop her being hunted."
"The serpent raises his head fearless, fangs glinting but never poised to bite. He curls around her defensive and defying he know the pain of being hated. The hurt of betrayal for things that you were born with, he understands and draws up to the lion without fear.....Dorian yelled alot." Harel huffed a laugh "of course he did, and that is good, especially if it was at that blockheaded idiot Commander. I cannot believe we keep such ignorant people ar-" "pain, mistrust, I give them my all and the keep forcing me down. the magic, is dangerous; the chantry mother licks her thumb before turning the page, magic is dangerous. I saw the suffering it causes in the circle in Kirkwall, and here. Magic is dangerous but I want so badly to trust, crushed like a flower beneath hooves. She used me! She let me think she was....normal I still love her how can I still love her."
"He still loves her? okay.....maybe he's not as ignorant as I thought.... Sylaise, I hope to fuck Dorian gets him to calm down before we find her." "His hurt touches hers" Cole's voice was quiet and sad. "The scent of sweet mint and rain, I feel myself slipping away but it is there oakmoss and mint, twisting, tantalizing and terribly apart. What have I done! I didn't even give her a chance! I will may never see her again!"
Harel's hands tightened on the reins as the hart navigated a rock "good the fear will make him remorseful, its better that he remains beating himself up for what he did until we get her. He will never hurt her again after this...never again."
Cole sucked in a breath as he caught the agony around Tara again "sharp shards of hate, like the spines of a dragon, raising like hackles, glowing with darkness and smoke. Her heart cannot break like this, it will break her the darkness will find her take her." Harel swallowed heavily "lets say we cant get to her quick enough, what is she going to.... become"
"A pale mask, the queen she refused to be, the mask hides only darkness, edges, and hate. The crystals she fears tear her apart, dark and sharpened wings singing a discordant song. Groping in the darkness, Mamae's cooling body. I am losing myself, falling into the nothing."
Harel shuddered at the thought of her friend giving in and turning into vengeance. "Mythal grant us time to get to her.
Tara couldn't run anymore, she was utterly exhausted from the trauma and the flight from skyhold. She collapsed to her side under a tree. She tried to summon magic to blunt the pain turn off the nerves, but she was too exhausted for that kind of focus. The darkness of unconsciousness claimed her.
"Her mind is quieter she is sleeping!" Cole told harel. "Good, we need to double time it then, before she takes off again." Cole watched the shadows of the trees, "quiet like a drop of water in a pond, undisturbed, no wolves or shadows just soft darkness. She will not be moving any time soon." Harel pushed the stag just a bit faster "damn gotta her give credit though, she can haul ass when she want to if Dorian hadn't found that note so quickly we have never caught up." The pair rode till dawn "darkness pooling but not silent, she is awake.... and close."
blue white eyes glowed faintly in the shadow of a great tree, a deep melodic voice growled "You are not the hounds I was expecting..."
okay my lovelies there will either be a really long episode or two more depending on how much my sad artist brain can take go check out @w-h-4-t she has alot of great writing and is fantastic at Cole's dialog

[PART 7] S A N royal series au
Tumblr media
RECAP: san is king of eden, you’re queen of elos under one nation along side 7 other lone kings. upon being invited to San’s kingdom, he asks for your help and you find some answers to your own questions.
• series masterlist •
⇩ PART SEVEN ⇩ , click me to read part six.
“Looking like fine wine, this afternoon, princess.” King San teases your choice of color. “I didn’t know you liked to couple match.”
You scoff your exasperation away and part your lips. “My choice of wardrobe is a mere coincidence. You flatter yourself too often.”
He licks at his lips. “On par.”
“What am I doing here, San?”
“Uh uh.” His eyebrow soars up on his forehead. “That’s King San to you. Must I remind you every time?”
Glancing at the curious eyes around you, you let image overpower and you’re forced to correct yourself. “Forgive me, your grace— King San, thou most noble, most sovereign, the mightiest monarch under the lord’s blessed eyes. I concede you’d be any more of that, oh mighty imperial prince.”
San grins at you again and it’s because of plain amusement. Where his kingdoms finest men watch you gloat for their king, he knows you’re only trying to press his buttons. Annoyed at most that he’s making you do the unspeakable.
“That’s more like it.”
You refrain an eye roll. “So what is so dire that I needed to travel 4 tiresome hours for?”
He nervously plays with the cuffs of his dress shirt, his own image changed in a second. “I have nothing to wear.”
“What?”
His eyes shift between you and his men uncertain of his reasons and how they might come across.
“What is it you need, San, I don’t have all day. I have a coronation to plan, my own dress as well— if you’re just wasting my time-“
“I want your advice on what to wear at your coronation.”
You glare into his honey eyes and realize he was being genuine. For once. It was quite amusing to see him this vulnerable. He pushes back at his tussled moussed hair before turning away in such shame of his request. You can’t help but giggle, hands behind your back peering over his shoulder on tip toes. He turns his chin out, your faces now inches apart and you decide to tease him despite your racing heart.
“Does almighty San need my help? From a helpless future Queen that he oh-so despises?”
“I never said I despise you.” He retaliates inching closer making you stumble back. “I simply detest your opinions. That’s all.”
“Well you killed my father so—“
“I did not! And soon you’ll find the reason. One day you’ll regret accusing me of such.”
You jut your lips at that. “For your sake, I hope I do.”
You stare into each other eyes with different notions. Both speaking of war but for now you see much different. In fact, you see the world in his eyes; Bright and bold while he stares at you with an unmoving twitch. He blinks once. Then twice till you finally realize you’re caught in each other’s gaze for long enough.
He pulls at his vest promptly before looking away and clearing his throat. “Will you help me or not?”
“Do you really think you’ll make a fool out of yourself at my coronation choosing your own attire?” You scoff unconvinced. “San, you do realize how out of the blue this sounds, right? And you understand my hesitation.”
He pricks at his teeth in clear frustration. “The men attending your party fit the criteria of social exposure. If it’s not already obvious enough, Princess, I lack in social settings. I, at least, deserve a well put together suit.”
It’s nothing but the truth. Because no one invites the royal family of Eden to their events. It’s just not practical. With all the broken treaties, uncertainties his ancestors gathered in the past, San was far from the luxury of being invited. It’s not that they weren’t interested. They were too afraid of what Choi San could do.
An image for an image.
Weird how you want to change that of all people. Even if circumstances prove to be different, you want San to feel welcome. You want San... particularly in close proximity to you..
“They bother you that much?” You dare to ask even if it seems like it’s a sensitive thing to him. His ego not as real as people like to think. “The things people say about you. How they look at you?”
He looks at you again and there’s fire in them you’ve never seen before. Dim and barely causing a singe. “I don’t want my kingdom to suffer the way I do. And if I have to make an image of myself granted the opportunity given, I will.”
Your lip nudges to the side, soft blush forming on your cheeks for no reason at all. “Asking me of my opinion on a suit and tie wont help that, I promise.”
He pouts almost. “Better than what I can concoct. I can’t even tell the difference between velour and velvet.”
“Yet you can tell the difference between a pretty face and an ugly one.” You roll your eyes, arms crossed over you chest.
“I can tell you we’ve both got pretty one’s. If that’s any consolation.”
“Both are not. Don’t kid yourself, San.” You joke bravely taking his arm to escort you forward— a gesture in tradition.
Your relationship with Eden’s King was not strong. It was not positive and it was not given a sturdy foundation. But the way you see him versus the way you feel are two different things set on two different platforms. Issues aside, you would’ve fell face first for San’s odd charms. His perpetual personality besides his dashing good looks— you’d only think of falling for a man like that. And if it’s a King you need, it’d most likely be San you do pursue. That’s no argument. However, that’s not how things were handed to you.
No, when San entered your life, he was nothing but a nuisance. The killer of your terminally ill father. The man who held the key to saving your dying kingdom’s future? Choi San was in full responsibility and he threw that right back at your face. You should hate him. You should loathe him and with every time you see him, you should be livid. You should be off the walls ready to hang him for what it’s worth.
With what time has given you, it’s in fact far from the case. The times you feel like you should throw San in a ditch, you think of hugging him instead. You wish for a smile to form on his face that you shouldn’t want. No, you actually like hearing him taunt you with that forbidden smile of his. You think it’s fun having him tease you. The bothersome choices in words the King of Eden has in effect keens you. King San reels you in like a river fish; aware of it’s death but chooses hunger first. You dove straight for the bait.
Playing coy, like a damsel in distress wanting nothing but his undivided attention.
Fuck you were falling in love with him, you fool.
You two enter a grand room. Grander than your own dressing room, ironically studded in velvet. No extravagant rocks to show and determine wealth but only fabrics of modesty. For someone who couldn’t tell the difference between velour and velvet, he wore the latter very often.
“Good evening, Princess y/n.” His maiden’s greet you kindly as you enter the room in arms link to their King.
You hold a scoff because even his seamstresses were beautiful. He really can tell the difference between an ugly face and a pretty one.
You curtly bow before shooing San away short distance. “Please tell me. How is your King to you? Unwell, rude, obscenely obnoxious?”
Eager to hear a response from that, you jitter. The women seeming taken aback at most but slightly disapproving too.
“Far from it, your grace.” They defend with urgency. “King San is anything but! He’s too kind to us. We forget sometimes we even serve the kingdom.”
Impressed by their sincerity for their King, you glance to San who seemed restless gazing at random materials. He was obviously too dumb to think otherwise. He was still thinking about what he was going to wear to your coronation. Which was, if you think about it, kind of genuine of him.
“We hope to serve you well too, your grace.” They share a quick glance before innocently batting their eyes at you. “What color was your dress, your majesty?”
“M-my dress?” Your quick to receive.
“King San has been refusing any suggestions to a color. He’s insisted we wait for you.” They whisper as if attempting to keep shame for their king.
You whip around to look at an empty-minded San who was roaming around the room, gawking at random textiles like he’s never even seen them before. Obviously still disregarding you.
“He has?”
“It’s beyond our judgement but we’re forced to believe he quite fancies you, your royal highness.”
You nearly choke on air before San’s attention span finally gets recharged. “Oh that’s right, Princess. I was meaning to ask you about the color of your dress.”
Oh my god they were being serious.
You chuckle awkwardly, the girls snickering at the sudden question. “Why is that important right now?”
His lips curl, red and moist from frowning this whole time. “Because I want to know. Is that forbidden?”
“O-of course not.” You stutter back. “I’m just taken aback, that’s all.”
He sulks in his chair, leg bouncing on the floor anxiously. He‘s throwing a temper tantrum right now. He can’t be serious.
You laugh sardonically again bewildered at his action. “San. What on earth are you doing?”
“I’m waiting.”
“For what?”
“For an honest answer.”
Oh my god, he was being fucking serious.
His maidens giggle under their breaths and San was too oblivious to notice the hidden truth to their reaction. At this point you were. And your face was as red as the tomato’s that’s grew in Mingi’s gardens.
Maybe you two were getting too comfortable..
“San, I can’t tell you what color my—“
“I don’t like any of the colors then. They’re not pretty to me.”
You puff in disbelief. “Choi San, you’re not a child. Just because—“
“A child? Who’s acting like a child? I don’t see anyone acting like that here.” His eyes hood when he glares at you. “But the woman in front of me whining and throwing a fit like one may prove otherwise.”
“You have gotta be kidding— oh for fucksake, the color of my dress is gold.”
Almost immediately, San’s eyes scan the table in front of you and instead chooses a fabric hiding in the breasts of his vest. He was faster than the eye can blink and you don’t even get to see the color before he hides it in the hands of his seamstresses. You gasp showing betrayal at his actions.
“I THOUGHT I WAS BEING SUMMONED HERE FOR MY CHOOSING?!”
“Now I want it to be a surprise.”
Perpetual indeed.
“I hate you.” It was your turn to sulk. “I can’t believe you not only disrespect the honors of a woman but her time.”
San scoffs. “So dramatic, princess.”
The maidens gasp in the pause you two make. “Would you look at the time your highness’. We must ready for supper.”
The women now showing shy smiles, giggle on their way out. Finally being free from the public eye, you slap at his thigh obviously annoyed by him acting up all day.
“You are refutable, Choi San, absolutely refutable.” You resist the temptation to punch him till he bleeds. “For someone who claims to detest me, you really take making my life miserable to unspeakable lengths.
“Something I’d want to do often, now that I think about it.”
“How can you think this would be a good time to be cheeky?!”
“Because you always have impeccable reactions, Princess. How could I refuse?” He smirks, his smile definitely going to be the death of you.
p.s rough edit lol

Hi its me! Could you write something for the cinnamon roll known as Lindir?
I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye
Lindir x elf!reader
Summary:growing up as Gandalf's adopted daughter ,being apart of the company only to pass through Rivendell,only to joke about doing your best friend,Lindir.
Word count:1200+
It was no secret that Gandalf wasnt your real father, you both looked nothing a like. However this didnt stop him loving you like you were his actual child,you werent sure if wizard could have children. You wondered if he ever got horny,it disturbed you but you did wonder. Anyways you didnt know your parents ,they were killed by orcs ,Gandalf found you crying as babe ,and thats all you know. You were an elf ,mostly Thorin didnt like that very much when he found out.
So how you ended up in the company of Thorin Oakenshield was; simply because Gandalf didnt want to leave you with the elves again ,or leave you at home where you could be in more danger.
You were more than capable of defending yourself,due to your many vists with Elrond they had trained you very well. You also became best friends with Lindir since he was responsible for most of your training ,plus being your tutor. Lindir was also abandoned as a child but was taken in by Elrond. He grew to become a marchwaden.
Lindir was a kind soul,nothing like the elf which lived in greenwood ,suck up assbutt's in your opinion. Don't get me started on Thranduil with those slug eyebrows,his son looks older than him,he has a stick shoved right up his anus.
Lindir didnt really like having to talk to strangers or infront of large crowds,he was shy,but he wouldn't let anyone know thing. However you did know,you felt exactly the same. Lindir was pretty much your only friend growning up,you weren't social compared to the other elves.
Oh god the first time you had gotten a little drunk with Lindir was at feast wherethey were handing out wine ,keep in mind Gandalf was out of town ,and you had stolen a bottle ans dragged Lindir to your balcony to drink it. Of course the elvish stuff it doesnt take alot for you to get drunk.
 After that you had both snuck out to a river and with that Lindir just wanted to splash his feet in the side. However you had a different idea,whilst he wasnt looking you had stripped yourself from dress  before jumping in.  He was too busy looking at his bare feet ,when he had looked up and seen you swimming about in just your underclothes.
"y/n! Get out now,thats dangerous." he had scolded you ,pulling his shoes back on.
"ppft. g-gonna put some dirt in your eye." you sassed the ellon,swimming closer to him only for him to pull you out with ease,onto your feet.
"damn ,you are so strong,I would like to see whatelse you can do..be the scissors to my dwayne johnson..lin I-" You began to admit some feelings only to fall dizzy in Lindir's arms ,not surprising though,before hand you had jumped on your bed ,parkour. Parkour! you must have been shattered, with that he had carried your wet body in his coat to your room. Setting the fireplace a light,placing you in bed with like a million blankets because you were soaking but he didnt want to undress you. In hopes you would warm up.
Aways he was gentleman,and the bestfriend you could ever ask for. Back to now you were in Rivendell with the company of thorin oakenshield.You had been greeted  by Lindir ,who simply sent a nod your way not wanting to anger the dwarves ,if they knew of your close friendship,and soon enough elrond arrived and was like who's hungry.
In which ended up with you sat next to kili ,who sat next to Bofur ,Kili seemed to admire the elves. You picked at the salad ,wheres the lembas bread or chips ,you could do with some potatoes right about now.
"Cant say I fancy myself an elf too thin,high cheekbones not enough facial hair." he spoken up to avoid Dwalins and Thorin killer gazes. "Though that one isnt bad." he gestured to Feren an male ellon,you had giggled ,Bofur nudged him "that is not an elf maiden." Dwalin smirked ,causing the company to burst out with laughter. Kili's cheeks boomed red from embarassment,you patted his back as the laughter died down.
"if it helps ,I know which ellon ,I would rough," you spoke smirking eyeing Lindir who looked back at you confused,you know he heard , you just hope Gandalf didn't ,you look at him and hes still in deep conversation with Elrond ,thank valar. "and who is that miss y/n?" fili had piped up from down the table.
 "the brunette elf next to elrond," you had faced away when you finished ,blushing a little pretending to look at the trees.
Yes it was no lie that you had deep feels for the ellon for many ,many years,but you did not know he felt exactly the same. The whole company had turned to lindir ,some in disgust mostly thorin ,dwalin,others smirking,some blank. Lindir had just smirked knowing you were up to something seeing your posture and gesture  when avoiding his gaze.
"I bet you five coins lass,you wont do anything about it," Bofur had suggested ,the dwarves knew you were shy,and soon enough kili,fili,ori many others had bet on this too,bilbo just watched the scene unfold like that star trek meme ,you know the shocked face. Thorin didnt bet ,not wanting incourage you.
"okay,I accepted." and with that you smirked at the company then looking at Lindir who looked back you with farrowed brows ,as you stood from your seat. Slowly you made your way over to your bestfriend.
"w-what a-" before he could finish you had cupped his cheeks pressing your lips to his soft ones. His face and yours red,knowing your ada had just watched that. "I've wanted to do that for so long." the dwarves look on in shock,not really bilbo or balinbut most of them.
"as have I" he spoke ,you just sent him a wide grin before returning to your seat. "pay up lads." you held your hands out gesturing your pay. "you knew him before this,right?" bilbo questioned you cheekily. "yeah,he was my only friend growning up,i guess he's more now..." your face still red ,your legs shaking you couldnt believe you had just done that. "well lads pay up ,shes got more balls than you gave her credit for." Th0rin commanded ,it was no lie that you had made him hate elves that little bit less.
IN which finally confessing your feelings ,got you a pay check. Yeah you are so bodaciously epic you say Thorin and kili and fili and have a date. You are totally excellent. You meet up with Lindir not very long after the battle of the five armies,and not that many years later you get married in which the whole company come,Bilbo is your maid of honour. Of course Gandalf excepts Lindir as his son in law ,seeing you both grow up together plus he's an angel.

Being Elena’s twin was difficult, like when you were int e car with your parents and Her, when it crashed. Elena got out without a scratch, you got out. So badly damaged the doctors put you into a medical induced coma for a few months too help your body heal. When you woke up everything was different. Your world turned upside down. You struggled with your new reality with No parents, your sister being distant and cold and not telling you anything. Your brother soon joined in on keeping secrets from you and trying too distract you from the truth. It soon traveled thru your group of friends, from Caroline , Tyler, Matt, and Bonnie. They all kept secrets from you. Everyone in your life started treated you differently after the accident. Poor damage orphan. Who was on the brick of death. It drove you crazy , epically having too sit back and watch your sister make some..interesting choices. In her life. From Dating Stefan who was Nice and Kind respectful even. Too Damon who seemed like a complete Asshole. Who is Stefan’s older brother.
Luckily the only other person who was in the dark with you was Aunt Jenna. It gave you some comfort knowing you weren’t the only one. Who was clearly in the dark about your family. Jeremy was rarely ever around and Elena was always coming in Late or not at all. You figured she was going too Stefans place. Aunt Jenna was cool about it. Then the unthinkable happened your Aunt passed away. A wild animal attack. It broke you too pieces.
Having your parent gone, then your guardian your siblings were speechless and sad. When your uncle John arrived he lasted a few days but Elena, and Jeremy kicked him out. Having your History teacher and Aunt Jenna’s boyfriend Aleric being your guardian. That was your Tipping point.
You weren’t a huge fan of Uncle John he was. Okay. But at least he was family. And he was stepping up too care for you three. Elena and Jeremy decided for you that he wasn’t good enough that some guy who Jenna dated for a few months was better then blood? You were furious. Done with the secrets, and them dictating what is best for you. You had a teammate. Between their lies, and secrets and them treating you like a kid! Especially Jeremy treating you like a kid. Being older then him it should be you who was over protective of your baby brother! You were in contract with Uncle John Finished with them. Even the new comers the Mikaelson couldn’t change your mind even those. They were close.
Everyone was curious about them. The Dashing. Well dressed Elijah who looked like a Prince in another life strong chin, big brown eyes. Very formal and polite, Rebecca who was the only girl. Blonde hair that was long and shinny, pail reflection like her brothers. A sight attitude but is the only person in the entire town of Mystic falls who will tell you the truth too your face. And Klaus.
Trouble maker Klaus, who pushed everyone’s buttons in your life, Elena, Jeremy, Even your friends warned you too stay away from them. Even Aleric and Stefan and Damon who you weren’t close with all begged you too Not go near them. Of course them being the ONLY people in the entire town besides your aunt too treat you like A adult. You didn’t listen.
One day. Rebecca invited you over for a sleep over. You gladly accepted, you thought it was a sleepover. But they all sat you down and they told you everything. About vampires, werewolves, witches, hybrids about your family line being full of vampire hunters, too how Aunt Jenna who recently died. Actuallyq died) about the reasonings, about all the secrets they all kept from you.
Having a huge crush on Klaus didn’t stop the fact he killed your Aunt. You went too leave until they informed you about a ancient Threat that made the ‘original vampires scared” you told them too screw themselves and went home.
Getting home you got Thur the front door seeing No one, Like always they were all gone. Typical.
Hearing your phone bing you looked down seeing it was your uncle Jon getting back too your text. Who you now know is your biological father. And that Alerics dead wife is your biological mother. And that your parents adopted you from them..
Uncle Jon:I’m sorry Y/N I would love too have you but I can’t- I think your siblings need you more. I’m sorry I’ll call on the weekend and we can talk about this okay?I’m sorry kiddo
Reading the text you ended up tossing your phone too the sofa as you turned seeing Rebecca at the doorframe.
“Mind if I come in?”
Turning too her you held your arms, “So that myth about having too be invited is fake?”
“No. Unfortunately.”
You rolled your shoulders, “Fine- come in. If you came too suck my blood. It’s probably too biter to be good right now.” She chuckled weakly. “Please I prefer my meals too be male.” She walked in as she spoke, “how are you?”
You shook your head weakly looking around, “Since Jenna. I’m always alone.. I lost basically All my friends because they all kept me in the dark about this stupid town! And the only person I had was Jenna.. and your brother killed her!”
“I’ve seen Klaus kill thousands of people in his lifetime.. Jenna was the Only one that he felt bad about- He knew that she was all you had-what.. what can I do too help.”
You cried stepping over hugging her. She was stunned but hugged back as you cried. She was always strong but Rebecca was soft As you spoke, “uncle Jon wont take me.. I’m stuck in this Hell hole.- Why tell me.. about all the this?”
Becca hold tighter as she spoke, “we don’t want too see you get killed because you were clueless. We all care for you. It’s one of the factors that have bonded us lately.- When Klaus calmed down and realized what he did.. he destroyed the house. It was the first time we ever seen him remorseful.. he’s truly sorry for harming you. It was the last thing he ever wanted.”
Pushing back. You breathed deeply. Looking at your best friend. You rubbed your face collecting your thoughts as you spoke, “It was Elena, and Stefans, and Jeremy – it was their fault too.”
She was surprised hearing that response, “if they told Us about you, all or about Why your so dangerous- about all the he dangers in this town. Maybe! Jenna wouldn’t be dead! I’m Furious at Klaus but I’m More angry at the betrayal of my own blood!”
“come sleep over we can talk this out, and you wont get a truthful answer from your family.”
Nodding your. Head you agreed too that as you went upstairs too pack.
Collecting your phone before you left. You Got too Rebecca mansion too see Klaus having a glass of whiskey you walked over grabbing it from him drinking it all as you spoke, ‘you killed my aunt!” You hit him as he took it.
Hitting him over and over again you cried. As you fell too the ground Klaus never hit back. He stood there taking your punishment until he crashed down. Next too you hugging you. Gripping up too his shirt pulling him closer as you cried into his shoulder.
“I’m so sorry.”
Klaus let you cry your heart felt like it was about too explode, your stomach was so tense you felt like you were about too break. As you bawled. Everyone you loved. Cared for has lied too you.. and it took Jenna’s killer and he’s siblings too tell you the truth.
After crying your phone dinged too see you had a text from Aleric, Elena and Jeremy wondering where you are. You whipped your cheeks as you looked down at them.
“will you kill them?”
That got everyone too tense up, “my family- are you planning too kill anymore of them?”
“No- I need Elena alive,And I swear not too harm Jeremy.” Looking up at Klaus you thanked him and Rebecca took you too her room so you can talk it out.
Weeks passed you weren’t as close with Klaus as you were before. The whole “killing your aunt” really drove a wage between your relationship with him. Which hurt you wanted Klaus around.
You thought you were hanging the trauma and heartbreak of everything. Then Elena turned into a vampire. Of course NO ONE TOLD YOU! You never told your family you knew. Or your friends about all their secrets. It was Klaus who appeared into your room one day. Telling you what happened too Elena. Rebecca ran them over the bridge that your parents died on. Stefan saved Matt and Elena died with Damons blood in her. Turning her into a vampire. You were furious at Rebecca. And Soon Elena started bootcamp too survive being a vampire. Her being turned. Changed your thoughts on Klaus. Then Jeremy Died. you realized. Elena was death.. And she loved being a vampire, but when Jeremy died. She flicked a switch and her humanity’s was gone. Klaus begged you too move in with him for your safety. And you accepted. Elena terrified you. Especially her doppelgänger Katherine who was always around. So you agreed. With the new threat around. Being with murderous honest vampires.. Not so bad compared too your sister.
Before Elena turned her switch she was thriving and back too her bubbly old self before your parents death. She was truly happy. So you forgive Rebecca. It’s been weeks living with them. You just returned from a day of shopping. Rebecca’s suggestion wanting too find the perfect dress for prom. You were exhausted! Stretching out on your bed. Surrounded by bags as Klaus walked by your open door seeing the damage you and Rebecca did on the family money (that Rebecca thankfully offered too pay since your part time job at the grill would pay for one item you got together)
“did you and Rebecca leave anything in the store?” You grinned weakly hearing Klaus’s voice you shook your head. “Barely. Only the mustered color stuff.” He chuckled as you opened your eyes shifting too sit up as he spoke, ‘did you find a dress for the Prom?” You nodded your head weakly. “Yea. Rebecca picked it out.- I’m still unsure.”
Klaus leaned against the doorframe as he spoke, “let me see.”
Getting too your closest pulling out a pink dress, it was a corset top, with a ball gown skirt, every inch was sparkles it reflected softly on the lights in your room as klaus turned around and you realized he wanted you too try it on. You did. Stripping quickly and hopping into it you spoke up, ‘it’s so.. reveling those. I mean it’s slightly low, and my back..”
Klaus turned looking at you as he spoke, “you are a vision. You breathtaking Y/N” smiling weakly you thanked him as he stepped over as he spoke, “you could wear a potato sack and be potato sack and be beautiful.” Feeling your face going red he breathed deeply as he spoke, ‘what unworthy boy is taking you too prom?’
“None- I’m going alone..” that surprised Klaus as he spoke, “really?” You nodded your head, “yea- Matt asked me but that would be too weird.. and with Elena being- bat shit crazy.. and Caroline and Stefan- whatever they are doing and Bonnie.. it’s easier. Less complicated..”
“I’ll take you.”
Smiling hearing that you nodded your head “sure.” He smiled as he went too go as he turned looking at you, “I was going too ask- what are your plans for after graduation? You apply for any schools?”
Shaking your head slightly you spoke, “No- it’s.. I.need a break and too explore.. I’m taking a year off.” With that he walked off.
Prom was perfect. Shortly after Rebecca, Klaus and Elijah were needed in New Orleans and they left you too watch the place. It was only there did you realize they weren’t coming back. It broke your heart. Then graduation came And you were waiting in line too get your diploma, uncle John wasn’t here. Even those you invited him. Elena smashed that idea of having him here. Elena got up and everyone cheered and clapped for her you got up after her getting your diploma when you noticed Klaus in the crowd. He was near the front clapping loudly. With a big smile on his face. You smiled brightly seeing him. Getting off the stage you waited with the rest of your class.
Finishing the ceremony. You leaped off the stage hugging Klaus tightly. “Thank you.” He smiled hugging you back as he spoke, “I couldn’t miss this- Rebecca apologize and Elijah they wanted too come but things in New Orleans are sticky..”
You pushed back holding his face as you smiled brightly. You dreaded today. Having no family with you too celebrate, with Being stuck with Death herself. And your friends who kept you in the dark. You smiled so wide it made Klaus smile back. Looking at you. Seeing this. One kind act make you smile so wide and bright. It made the tough cruel Klaus melt. You were the only person without a motive. He’s meet thousands of people who had motives too kill him or use him. And then their was you. Who just wanted him for himself. It was a different feeling that Klaus wasn’t use too.
You reached up kissing him which surprised Klaus as you pulled back “thank you.”
A huge goofy smile appeared on his face as you dashed over too Elena and hugged her. And your friends. Seeing Klaus changed your mood incredibly. When it was all said and done after Jeremy was brought back too life. (By magic. Which you weren’t sure what happened. He just came back too life) you were sitting on the bleachers with Klaus looking at the football field that held up to be the graduation. Looking out at the field Klaus spoke up, “congratulations Y/N.”
Facing Klaus you smiled brightly reaching over grabbing his arm. “Thanks- and thank you for coming I was dreading this all month-having you here.. felt like I wasn’t alone.”
He smiled weakly as he spoke, “Still going on a grand adventure for a year?”
Nodding your head looking around, “with all the lies and descent and Death around here.the farer away the better.”
“glad too hear that.” Glancing over at Klaus he looked at you shifting too look at you better as he spoke “come with me.”
‘excuse me?”
He chuckled softly rubbing his neck, “Come with me too New Orleans, we all miss you. Especially Me.. Come with me. Let me show you the world. Music , the arts, History music. Let me share it with you.”
You grabbed his hand tightly as you spoke, “Only- if you promise it can be forever.” He squeezed back as he spoke, “you want too turn?”
“Maybe- If I want too.. can you. Be the one?” He nodded his head. You reached over hugging him tightly, “Don’t get your hopes up. On that. But take me with you Klaus. Don’t leave me behind again”
“okay.”
A year passed with learning that Klaus one night booty call got pregnant with. His baby. You and Elijah (who was madly in love with Hailey) you both were on pins and needles wondering how that would play out. You got a Job at a Bar- Mystic Falls was a training area for the big league for Vampires and werewolves and witches. A turf war was going on. The Mikaelson convinced each group that you weren’t involved. That you weren’t some Ploy you were human. So they mostly left you alone.
Klaus has been acting weird lately. You seen the good , the bad, and Now your seeing the awkward. You enter a room and he excuses himself, he spends. Little times around you. Rebecca said you were imagine it. But Elijah noticed and often talked too Klaus about it.
Hope was fussing so you were soothing her as she went back too sleep.
“You’re a natural.”
Turning too Klaus seeing him leaning against the door . You smiled as he walked over helping you put her down .
“do you want this…”
That surprised you. Turning too Klaus you shook your head. “I love Hope- but IM not.. Anywhere Close too being ready for a baby.. I don’t know if I want it. Why?”
“you asked too be changed.” “Maybe.” Correcting him he nodded his head. “If your changed.. you can’t have this..”
“ you impregnate a werewolf… Never say never.”
Klaus frowned hearing that as he spoke, “you know that was a fluke.”
Nodding your head weakly you turned too Klaus rolling your shoulders, “IM not thinking about having babies. Hell- I haven’t had a serious relationship… I’m far too young.-“ he nodded his head looking at Hope.
“is that why you been involving me lately? Your scared I want a baby. And too stay human?”
“I’m Not good..”
“I’ve seen you with Hope- your Goodness is there. Klaus- You shown it with me. From the beginning. You’re the kindest. Person I know. You tell me the truth even if it’s not Kind. But you know how much I appreciate the truth. That’s showing me kindness. Hope is so lucky too have you. I’m so happy too have you.”
“I want more.”
That surprised you as he rubbed his face, “I love you. Always have. Always will.. I want too be selfish and bite you and keep you..”
Nodding your head. You reached over grabbing his hand. “I love you too…I .. I’m not ready too give up my human status.. you okay with that?”
He nodded his head stepping over kissing you. You smiled kissing him back.
You knew eventually too keep. Klaus , Rebecca, Elijah you would have too change. But for Right now. You were happy.

(Part 1) Thank you for keeping this blog going. There are few in the fandom who gives as much attention to detail as you do, and I always look forward to reading you blog. Long ask below, which had to be split into 4 parts.
Tumblr media
Thank you for enjoying my blog!
I’m always happy to know there’s people who enjoy it!
Now, for your questions:
1) Yuusaku is basically cannon fodder. Even if Ogata didn't shoot him, he was unlikely to live through the war. Russo-Japanese War was the first to witness the carnage rapid firing lines could do to an infantry charge; standard bearers in those days were basically on suicide missions. This was why it was mostly phased out by WWI. I'm surprised Yuusaku even lived through more than one charge. Was Hanazawa senior aware that grooming his favorite son to be the standard bearer, while glamorous, was going to get him killed?
1) As sad as it is, back then ALL THE INFANTRY was sadly cannon fodder, a beaviour that will continue even during WWs.
Yuusaku, being at the head of the charge each time, had more chances to get killed than the others but it’s actually a matter of luck as, not only the others were close by, but soldiers didn’t really take aim when shooting (except for snipers), they just aimed their weapons in the enemy’s general direction and fired.
Tumblr media
Still, it was all a matter of luck.
Sugimoto (who’s ironically based on a real soldier) managed to survive to plenty of charges, others didn’t manage to survive to their first charge.
Yuusaku didn’t have to die just because he was a flag bearer... but surely the odds were against him.
As for Hanazawa in truth the situation is much more complicate.
I’m pretty sure Hanazawa wasn’t happy Yuusaku HAD TO BE the flagbearer. As far as he was involved he had only one son and that one was Yuusaku and back then heirs were important and if he were to die Hanazawa would remain without one since it’s clear he never planned to acknowledge Ogata.
The problem isn’t so much that he wanted Yuusaku to be the flagbearer, is that he couldn’t avoid Yuusaku being the flagbearer.
Out of bad luck Yuusaku was a second lieutenant back then and unmarried, therefore virgin (because they had already moved in a time in which having a lover wasn’t respectable). And, of course, being the son of Hanazawa Yuusaku was expected to check all the other requisites a flag bearer had to have, being handsome, high achiever and a paragon of moral virtue.
Tumblr media
In short he was perfect for the job.
Beign the flag bearer was a honour and refusing it was a sign of cowardice that would have tossed shame on the whole family.
If Hanazawa had stopped Yuusaku from being a flag bearer, Yuusaku would have lost face and Hanazawa with him and since Hanazawa was a big shoot in the army during the war this would have turned into a huge problem.
And then there’s also what Koito senior said.
Tumblr media
Someone had to be the flag bearer. Stopping his son from doing so to protect him and therefore sacrifice someone else son would be viewed as inexcusable.
As much as I hate Hanazawa I recognize he couldn’t keep Yuusaku out of the position.
For me his sin, in regard to Yuusaku, is more that he had told him not to kill. While a sword can’t really stop a Maxim gun, during the charge they would get in close contact with other soldiers, soldiers who could kill him. Using his sword to defend himself would increase his odds to survive.
Hanazawa instead, realizing the chances for Yuusaku to survive were dim, likely preferred to use him till the end as some sort of pure idol to fulfil a theory of his own at whom the soldiers might not even believe that, if Yuusaku weren’t to kill, soldiers would remain pure as well and wouldn’t feel guilty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Of course it can be that Yuusaku actually wasn’t so good with the sword. Maybe if he were to try to defend himself not only he would fail but this would lower the troops’ morale. As an idol instead Yuusaku is protected by the soldiers who see him as their personal amulet of good luck.
Tumblr media
In this case in a way Hanazawa took the best decision both for him and the troops. We know too little to tell... but I’m pretty sure Hanazawa knew there were few chances Yuusaku would survive.
In his position he couldn’t possibly not know.
Sure is Yuusaku seems to believe everything his father says without thinking at it too much.
When he explains his reasons to Ogata... well, they aren’t really his reasons but what his father told him. He didn’t rielaborate, didn’t internalize, didn’t think it over.
It’s just ‘daddy told me so therefore I do it in this way’.
2) I wonder what was going through Ogata’s mind, watching Yuusaku run into the meat grinder. At that moment maybe it occurred to him that being Hanazawa’s favorite son came with a heavy price tag.
Everything comes with a price tag... but objectively both Ogata and Yuusaku were risking to die in that war and if Ogata was left more often in the trenches, where it was slightly safer, shooting at enemies, it was merely because he was lucky he was gifted at shooting otherwise he could have been right next to Yuusaku running, charge after charge... only he never enjoied an ounce of Yuusaku’s benefits.
The truth is that people who come from a privileged situation like Yuusaku, Koito, Tomoharu, Ueji or Chiyotarou, aren’t insured to have a happy life free of danger. They can be as miserable as the next guy and can end up in troubles way bigger (Ueji even went insane after all, Yuusaku died, Tomoharu wasn’t up to fulfil his family expectations, Chiyotarou get bullied, Koito had no support when he lost his brother...).
But they will also be sheltered by way too many things that make life miserable and will be given chances that others can only dream.
So yes, being Hanazawa’s legittimate son came with a heavy price tag but being Hanazawa’s illegittimate son not only also came with a heavy price tag but was bereft of the benefits being Hanazawa’s legittimate son could offer.
3) He must also know that Yuusaku getting KIA is a matter of (very short) time. Tsurumi must know that too, so he called off the kill.
Honestly I believe the only reason Tsurumi called off the kill was because he wanted to push Ogata to kill Yuusaku on his own. Ogata showed a softer side with Koito when he kidnapped him, giving him a sweet and conforting him...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...but that’s not all. When he carried Yuusaku in a brothel and Yuusaku turned down his idea to have fun with the girls he could have gotten Yuusaku drunk or forced him in another way. He didn’t. He let him go and made sure he wasn’t seen as he left, when he could have let Yuusaku’s reputation being tarnished just by letting him being seen.
Tsurumi mentions noble blood deliberately, sure this would be a jab at Ogata.
Tumblr media
He pinned the two brothers one against the other trying to recreate the situation that pushed Usami to kill Tomoharu and it worked. Only Ogata wasn’t enamoured of Tsurumi as Usami was.
4) Yet Ogata killed him anyways. Maybe he thought since Yuusaku was going to die anyways, why not use him as an experimental guild-trip?
I’ll say it’s more than experimentation. In addition to Tsurumi subtly pinning him against Yuusaku there’s to say all Ogata wanted was his father’s love and attention, and he had seen Koito getting it after his brother died.
Plus Yuusaku made the mistake of stepping in a minefield.
Ogata is a man who represses his guilt, who has learnt to do it as a child when he killed his mother, whom he loved. For Ogata is a cornerstone in his own development he doesn’t feel guilty because ‘he had a reason for his mother’s murder’.
Tumblr media
And Yuusaku then goes and tell him this is impossible, that he has to feel guilt.
Tumblr media
...and Ogata, who’s stuck between his own maladaptive copying mechanism, his wish to be normal, and his deep desire to be loved by his father, kills him, again telling himself since he has a reason, he wont’ feel guilty.
Tumblr media
Only he will feel guilty despite being in deep denial over it but that’s a talk for another post.
5) Now I have a feeling that deliberately killing Yuusaku is just another lie he tells himself. Maybe it wasn’t deliberate, but the most egregious failure he made as a sniper for which he spun a whole narrative for: he kill Yuusaku by friendly fire.
I think Ogata genuinely believed he had shoot to Yuusaku and killed him. In short, I believe he aimed and shoot. Of course it’s possible he missed, subconsciously or by coincidence and, ironically, Yuusaku was killed by someone else, either by incident or deliberately so as to delude Ogata into thinking he had killed him.
Plot wise though I don’t see the point of having Yuusaku die due to an accident because, if this were to be the case, it would never be possible to discover it... unless Ogata were to remember his bullet actually hit another target... or it were to turn out the bullet in Yuusaku’s head wasn’t the one of a type 30.
It might be different if it was someone else who had shoot him, making Ogata believe it had been him, like how ‘by a coincidence’ Tsukishima had learnt of the whole Igogusa’s story about how her corpse was dug up.
However, as Usami pointed out, Yuusaku was shot perfectly in the center of the back of his head... and Usami knows no one else in the 7th who could do it.
Tumblr media
So unless Tsurumi has an extra sniper we’re unaware of, it would be hard for him to stage Yuusaku’s death so that Ogata would believe he were the killer.
So I don’t know.
But I think the real key in the whole thing isn’t if Ogata has killed his brother or not, but that he believes he has done it and, contrary to what he thought, he feels guilty as hell for having done it to the point he hallucinates Yuusaku each time he’s not in his best shape or even when he is and he’s about to do something he feels he might regret afterward.
But of course this is just me.
Thank you for your ask!

Shigaraki x Reader - Home
Stressed.
You were so fucking stressed.
As you laid in your bed, provided to you by the very people you learned to distrust and hate, you cried. What were you supposed to do? 3 years ago you dreamed of being where you were. A 3rd year at the prestigious U.A. high school - where heros were made.
Did they know they'd help create a villain?
Heros. The good guys. Those who are meant to save the planet from the people who misuse their superhuman gifts. They were so corrupt. They had no real care for what was right and what was wrong - they cared about what people thought about them.
It had taken a while for you to notice it - starting your first year when you, along with Iida, Todoroki, and Deku got caught up with the infamous Stain - the hero killer.
The hero killer - youd think with a name like that the heros would be falling at your feet thanking you four for stopping him- but no. Instead, you could either suffer, or give away your well earned credit. Ah, so they weren't concerned with saving people from his terrors, they were concerned with the publicity.
Along with that, you understood where he was coming from. To see a world where all these damn fakes were erased, and to be filled with people who actually cared - it seemed like a dream.
You've had multiple other occasions where you've noticed this as well, only driving your trust further and further away from hero society. Possibly to your luck, during these years you had also had the fortune of meeting a group that dubbed themselves the League of Villains.
More specifically, their leader.
He knew who you were from the first time hed seen you, having done immense research on all of the students. You knew he planned on killing you, but you were curious.
"Tell me... what is your goal?"
Shigaraki was confused at the time, not even his own members seemed to be concerned with his goal - and the outside world seemed to deem them a group that followed in Stains footsteps.
"Its not like that damn hero killer's. I plan on bringing chaos to the world - to see a world that brings heros to its knees, and villains can rise to the top. That is my goal."
And for once, while you weren't completely sure about the chaos, you weren't immediately opposed to it. Maybe a world like that is what society needs - a restart, then people will understand what it truly means to be a hero, or a villain.
So you joined the league, wanting to learn more about this world Shigaraki promised to create. All of these people - they understood. They understood how all heros said were lies.
You never had the courage to completely leave, though. How would you tell those you had grown so close to goodbye? Even if you knew that many of them would grow into the same horrid people you hated - right now, they were friends.
"I'll graduate. Then I'll go for good."
That's what you always told yourself - but as time grew on you found it harder and harder to stay away from the league. Shigaraki provided you an escape, one where you could truly be you. It would be impossible to ignore it for any longer.
Finally, you sat up, rubbing away the tears that had flown down your face. It doesnt matter, they'll find out anyways. Itll be easier the sooner you go, maybe your friends will stop caring easier.
Before you could change your mind, you ran around the room, filling your school bag with clothes and necessities, you could get more later. Right now, you needed to leave.
Slowly opening the door and looking around, you made sure no one was awake before running towards the dorm exit. It was almost 3 in the morning, no one should be awake other than maybe some teachers.
Quietly, as to not raise any alarms, you walked out the door. If a teacher saw you, youd say you got homesick and just had to go home, as if you could ever go back there after what you were about to do. You wondered if you should say goodbye to your parents, but decided against it. They should remember you in a positive light.
You wandered down the streets, walking the roads you haven't in months. You had been too scared to go back to the league lately, knowing you wouldn't leave if you did, but you were ready now.
Eventually, you pushed the door of the bar open, just enough for you to walk through. Dabi was the first to notice you, watching you with a raised brow as you slowly walked into the hideout.
"Back already doll? Thought you weren't coming for a few more months."
"I.. changed my mind. Where's Shigaraki?"
"Probably brooding in his room or somethin', but hes here."
You nodded and thanked him before heading back towards Shigarakis room. You knew where it was - in the time of Shigaraki getting to know you, he seemed to take quite the liking to you, becoming overly possessive and hiding you away in his room when you visited.
This gave you the opportunity to learn more about him and his ideals, so you never minded. Honestly, when it came to Shigaraki, you didnt care what it was. Youd do anything for him - without his guidance and faith in you, you would have been stuck in a society you hated.
You reached the door, pausing for a moment before knocking. It sounded like he was playing another of his video games, and you frowned as you remembered he didnt like to be disturbed when he was playing his games.
But you hoped he would make an exception for you- after all, you had just thrown your whole life away for him.
He opened the door with a scowl on his face - it was nice to see him without Father - but his eyes widened slightly at your presence.
"Y/n? What-"
He didnt get the chance to continue, however, as you quickly stepped forward and hugged him. You knew that it could be a deathly mistake to touch him like this, but -
"Thank you... thank you for giving me a real purpose, I promise I wont let you down."
The man stared down at you as he lightly wrapped his arms around you as well, being careful with his fingers, and he softly chuckled.
"I'll hold you to that."
Now - now you were somewhere you belonged. You were home.
